Authors: Alegbeleye Justina Omoikhefe , Alabere Ibidabo David 
Published: November 2022

Background: Maternal Near Miss refers to a woman who nearly died but survived a complication during pregnancy, delivery, or within 42 days of termination of pregnancy. It serves as a tool that allows clinicians and health facilities to assess and improve the quality of maternal health care.
Aim and Objectives: To evaluate the factors associated with maternal near-miss morbidity at the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital (UPTH).
Materials and Methods: A retrospective institution-based cross-sectional study was carried out at the department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital. A stratified sampling method was used to select the folders of 610 women who were managed during pregnancy, labour or postpartum period, abortion and ectopic pregnancy between January 1, 2018, and December 31, 2020. Data collection tool was used to obtain socio-demographic and obstetric characteristics from folders and SPSS 25 used for analysis. Mean and standard deviation was used to summarize descriptive data, while the test for association was done using chi-square test and logistic regression. The results are presented in tables.
Results: The majority 214 (35.1%) of the women were aged 30 - 34 years, with a mean age of 31.57 ± 5.0 years. Most 541, (88.7%) of the women were married, more than half 335 (54.9%) had tertiary education, while 273 (44.8%) were engaged in partly skilled jobs. About one-fifth 138 (22.6%) of the women were booked. Single marital status (aOR: 2.46; 95% CI: 0.99-6.13; p=0.043), unbooked status (aOR=4.74, 95% CI: 1.93-11.68, p=0.001) gravidity (aOR=3.34, 95% CI: 1.63-6.85, p=0.001) and parity (aOR=0.32, 95% CI: 0.14-0.70, p=0.005) were observed to be significant determinants of MNM.
Conclusion: There is a huge burden of maternal near-miss conditions at UPTH. Early detection and treatment of these potential causes may provide a window of opportunity to reduce maternal morbidity and mortality.

Published: November 2022

Due to varying changes in lifestyle, economic level and urbanization in the developing countries, the consumption of biscuit and the development of food products using composite flour have increased and are attracting much attention from researchers in bakery and pastry productions. This work reviewed the potentials of cassava, bambara groundnut and tigernut composite flours in biscuit production. This study also includes studies on the use of flours from other tubers, legumes, cereals, and fruit sources in place of wheat flour to make a variety of food products in varying amounts. It was revealed that flour made from cassava, bambara groundnut and tigernut used to produce biscuit products has the capacity of maintaining similar characteristics to products made from full-wheat flour. The finished result demonstrates the cumulative impact of this option in terms of its functional and physicochemical features, as well as the health advantages of raw mixed flour and percentage blending.
In addition, composite flour is an excellent new strategy for employing unusual food products becaue its use produced goods with a range of qualities and features, depending on the types and proportions of wheat flour used in the formulation.
Also this review stated some possible challenges likely to be encountered in case Nigeria changes from use of wheat flour to composite flours and blends of non-wheat flours.
Influence of Foliar Application of Panchagavya and Fish Extracts and Application of Organic Substances on Yield and Quality of Ash Gourd under Organic Farming
Authors: Dhanushkodi V. , Nageswari R. 
Published: November 2022

Recently, farmers are shifting to organic farming and are interested in the adoption of various plant and animal waste as nutrient sources in organic agriculture to supply the nutrients for getting the expected yield. Currently, farmers believe that the application of panchagavya and fish extracts play a major role in enhancing the biological efficiency of crop plants. Hence, a field study was conducted to assess the effect of foliar application of panchagavya, fish extracts and organic substances on yield and quality of ash gourd under organic farming during Kharif, 2020 at Murungai village in Tiruchirappalli district of Tamil Nadu. The results of the study indicated that foliar application of Panchgavya @ 3%, and fish extracts @ 0.5% along with soil application of FYM @25 t/ha, Groundnut cake @ 100 kg/ha and Neem cake @ 200kg/ha recorded significantly higher fruit yield (25.55 t/ha) compared to other treatments. Further, nutrient contents of ash gourd were studied under various foliar applications of organics and the fruit pulp was used for analysis. The quality parameters viz., protein content of fruit (0.54 g/100 g), Fat (0.13 g/100 g), carbohydrate (2.44 g/100 g), Fibre (1.14g/100 g), Zinc (0.14mg/100 g), Iron (0.44 mg/100 g) recorded were significantly higher with the application of Panchagavya, fish extract and oil cake application. Therefore, it is found that foliar application of Panchgavya @ 3%, and Fish extracts @ 0.5% along with FYM (25 t/ha), Groundnut cake (100 kg/ha) and Neem cake (200 kg/ha) could be used for getting more yield under organic farming system.
People’s Perception about Plant-based Formulated Diets as a Non-chemical Method of Rodent Population Control in Nigeria
Authors: Badmus H. A. , Alarape A. A. 
Published: November 2022

A total number of two hundred and thirty five (235) respondents responded to the self-structured (online Google form) questionnaires administered to them without being bias to sample their opinions on the performance of common rodent population control methods and their readiness to embrace plant-based formulated diets as a method of rodent population control in Nigeria. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was used to analyze the questionnaires. The results showed that rodent population should be controlled to reduce their damage to agricultural crops (97.4%), to reduce zoonotic diseases (94.9%), and for conservation reasons (82.6%) in Nigeria. It was also revealed that some of the common rodent population control methods were found to be humane, cost effective, acceptable, and effective but at different levels. The plant-based formulated diet as a method of population reduction would be humane (69.8%), acceptable (65.1%), and effective (68.5%) method. The plant-based formulated diet was viewed as a promising method and this indicated readiness to adopt the method as an alternative to the common methods of rodent population control.

ImportancePrimary Sjögren syndrome (pSS) is a systemic autoimmune disease associated with dysregulated immune cells, with no efficient therapy. There is a need to study potential therapeutic approaches.ObjectiveTo investigate the efficacy, safety, and immune response of low-dose interleukin 2 (LD-IL-2) in the treatment of pSS.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsA double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial was conducted with a 2-group superiority design from June 2015 to August 2017. Sixty patients, aged 18 to 70 years, were recruited from Peking University People’s Hospital. Efficacy analyses were based on the intention-to-treat (ITT) principle. Data were analyzed from December 2018 to March 2020.InterventionsPatients with pSS were treated with LD-IL-2 or placebo for 12 weeks and accompanied by 12 weeks of follow-up.Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe primary end point was defined as a 3-point or greater improvement on the European League Against Rheumatism Sjögren’s Syndrome Disease Activity Index (ESSDAI) by week 24. The secondary end points included other clinical responses, safety, and changes of immune cell subsets at week 12 and 24.ResultsSixty patients with pSS were recruited, with 30 in the LD-IL-2 group (mean [SD] age, 47.6 [12.8] years; 30 [100%] women) and 30 in the placebo group (mean [SD] age, 51.0 [11.9] years; 30 [100%] women), and 57 completed the trial. More patients in the LD-IL-2 group (20 [66.7%]) achieved ESSDAI score reduction of at least 3 points than in the placebo group (8 [26.7%]) at week 24 (P = .004). There were greater resolutions of dryness, pain, and fatigue in the LD-IL-2 group than placebo group at week 12 (dryness: difference, −18.33 points; 95% CI, −28.46 to −8.21 points;P = .001; pain: difference, −10.33 points; 95% CI, −19.38 to −1.29 points;P = .03; fatigue: difference, −11.67 points; 95% CI, −20.65 to −2.68 points;P = .01). No severe adverse events were observed in either group. In addition, the LD-IL-2 group showed a significant decrease in infection compared with the placebo group (1 [3.3%] vs 9 [30.0%];P = .006). Immunological analysis revealed that LD-IL-2 promoted an expansion of regulatory T cells and regulatory CD24highCD27+B cells.Conclusions and RelevanceIn this randomized clinical trial, LD-IL-2 was effective and well tolerated in patients with pSS, and it restored immune balance, with enhanced regulatory T cells and CD24highCD27+B cells.Trial RegistrationClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:NCT02464319

Published: November 2022

ImportanceThe combination of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for prostate cancer detection has rarely been evaluated in a screening context. The STHLM3-MRI screening-by-invitation study (NCT03377881) has reported the benefits of using MRI with subsequent combined targeted and standard biopsies compared with using standard biopsies alone.ObjectiveTo investigate the cost-effectiveness of prostate cancer screening using MRI with combined targeted and standard biopsies compared with standard biopsies alone among men aged 55 to 69 years in Sweden, based on evidence from the STHLM3-MRI study.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis economic evaluation study was conducted from a lifetime health care perspective using a microsimulation model to evaluate no screening and screening strategies among adult men in Sweden. Men aged 55 to 69 years in Sweden were simulated for no screening and screening strategies. Input parameters were obtained from the STHLM3-MRI study and recent reviews. One-way and probabilistic sensitivity analyses were performed in May 2022.InterventionsNo screening, quadrennial PSA screening using standard biopsies alone, and MRI-based screening using combined targeted and standard biopsies.Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe number of tests, incidence, deaths, costs, quality-adjusted life-years (QALY), and incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs) were estimated.ResultsA total 603 men were randomized to the standard arm, 165 of these participants (27.4%) did not undergo standard biopsy; 929 men were randomized to the experimental arm, 111 (11.9%) of whom did undergo MRI or any biopsy. Compared with no screening, the screening strategies were associated with reduced lifetime prostate cancer–related deaths by 6% to 9%. Screening with MRI and the combined biopsies resulted in an ICER of US $53 736, which is classified as a moderate cost per QALY gained in Sweden. Relative to screening with standard biopsies alone, MRI-based screening reduced the number of both lifetime biopsies and overdiagnosis by approximately 50% and had a high probability of being cost-effective than the traditional PSA screening.Conclusions and RelevanceFor prostate cancer screening, this economic evaluation study found that PSA testing followed by MRI with subsequent combined targeted and standard biopsies had a high probability to be more cost-effective compared with the traditional screening pathway using PSA and standard biopsy. MRI-based screening may be considered for early detection of prostate cancer in Sweden.
Association Between Social Disadvantage and Otitis Media Treatment in US Children With Commercial Insurance
Authors: Qian Z. Jason , Rehkopf David H. 
Published: November 2022

ImportanceIt is well established that social disadvantage is associated with earlier, more frequent, and more severe otitis media in children. Appropriate medical and surgical treatment of otitis media can prevent hearing loss and other complications, which may affect future academic and employment opportunities in socially disadvantaged populations. Clinical treatment patterns for otitis media in the US are unclear.ObjectiveTo describe and quantify social disparities in the treatment patterns of otitis media in children in the US.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis cross-sectional study included claims data from the Optum Clinformatics Data Mart Database between January 1, 2003, and March 31, 2021, with linked inpatient, outpatient, and pharmaceutical claims for 4 831 408 children with otitis media.ExposuresAge at first otitis media diagnosis, sex, environmental allergies, gastroesophageal reflux, adenotonsillar hyperplasia, zip code, social deprivation index score, social vulnerability index score.Main Outcomes and MeasuresTreatment of recurrent and suppurative otitis media in children, insertion of tympanostomy tubes, and treatment for severe complications of undertreated otitis media. The principal measure of social disadvantage was the social deprivation index. The social vulnerability index was used for sensitivity analyses to ensure external validity. Multiple logistic regression analyses were used to quantify the association of all projected variables with the study outcomes.ResultsAmong 4 831 408 US children with otitis media (median [IQR] age, 4 [1-8] years; 2 491 557 boys [51.57%]), 994 921 (20.59%) were treated for recurrent otitis media, 717 978 (14.86%) were treated for suppurative otitis media, 335 949 (6.95%) received tympanostomy tubes, and 10 975 (0.23%) had severe complications of otitis media. In multivariable regression models including patient factors and social indices, earlier age at diagnosis, male sex, environmental allergies, gastroesophageal reflux, and adenotonsillar hyperplasia were associated with increased treatment for otitis media, whereas social deprivation index was associated with lower odds of medical treatment for recurrent otitis media (odds ratio [OR], 0.86; 95% CI, 0.85-0.87), suppurative otitis media (OR, 0.61; 95% CI, 0.60-0.62), and insertion of tympanostomy tubes (OR, 0.76; 95% CI, 0.75-0.78) but higher odds of having severe complications (OR, 1.28; 95% CI, 1.19-1.37).Conclusions and RelevanceThe findings of this cross-sectional study suggest that children with otitis media who were socially disadvantaged were less likely to receive treatment and more likely to experience complications for undertreated otitis media. As otitis media is a modifiable risk factor for hearing loss, efforts need to be made to ensure equitable access to treatment for all children.
Palliative Care Communication
Authors: Imes Rebecca , Omilion‐Hodges Leah M. , Hester Jennifer D. B. 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Palliative care is care for the seriously ill and their families. The gold‐standard for providing this care uses interdisciplinary and/or transdisciplinary teams composed of nurses, physicians, chaplains, social workers, and pharmacists. Excellent palliative care teams require purposeful and conscientious attention to communication in the team formation and maintenance stages. To become a high‐functioning palliative care team, members must learn to work across professional lines that are often siloed. High performing teams not only provide excellent patient and family care, they also help team members to avoid burnout.
Ethnic Media
Authors: Matsaganis Matthew D. 
Published: November 2022

AbstractEthnic media – defined as media produced for and frequently by immigrants, ethnic, racial, and linguistic minorities, as well as Indigenous populations – perform important connective, orientation, and symbolic functions in their audiences' lives. In doing so and in the context of either everyday media consumption or health communication campaigns and interventions, they can aid efforts to achieve a host of health promotion goals and help reduce health disparities that disproportionately affect immigrant communities and other minority background populations. Several factors contribute to ethnic media's capacity to perform the aforementioned roles, including their importance relative to other communication resources in audiences' communication ecologies, the trust audiences have in them, but also these producers' cultural sensitivity. Nonetheless, ethnic media's health promotion potential is constrained by four key factors: constrained access to news sources, limited financial resources, digital literacy gaps, and limited training in covering health news. Future research in three directions can further our understanding of how ethnic media can impact their audiences' health and of their health promotion capacity.
Media Content, Impact Of
Authors: Terán Larissa 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Health messages within mass media and an exploration of how such messages impact media consumers' health behaviors and attitudes has been studied within the field of communication for decades. Scholars have traditionally explored the health content and outcomes from traditional media outlets, including television, film, and print media. This entry considers the content and effects from these types of media. It focuses on three areas in the health literature: body image, sexual health, and mental health. Scholars find negative associations from media consumption and these health‐related outcomes, with some exemptions relating to mental health. Such findings may have implications for parents and media executives as consumers navigate the media landscape.
Communication Infrastructure Theory
Authors: Wilkin Holley A. 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Communication infrastructure theory is based on the premise that every community has a communication infrastructure consisting of a storytelling system embedded within a communication action context. Health communication scholars have explored the ways in which connections to local storytelling agents impact health knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors. Additionally, the applicability of communication infrastructure theory to community‐based health interventions is explored. Recommended steps for interventions, based upon current research, and suggestions for future research are provided.
