Background With increasing age, the older population becomes more susceptible to mental disorders. It is important to recognize and develop an understanding of psychiatric morbidity particularly among the residents of geriatric homes in resource-poor settings.
Objective To assess the prevalence and associated factors of dementia symptoms among Nepalese senior citizens living in geriatric homes of Kathmandu valley.
Method A cross-sectional study was conducted among 304 senior citizens living in geriatric homes of Kathmandu valley. Cognitive Impairment Test (CIT), was used to assess dementia symptoms. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regressions were performed. All the variables that were significant at p < 0.05 level in the bivariate analysis were included in the multivariate regression model and statistical significance was declared at p < 0.05 with a 95.00% confidence interval (CI).
Result This study showed 75.65%, of the participants, had dementia symptoms. In the multivariate logistic regression analysis, female respondents (AOR=2.94, 95% CI=1.31-6.57), respondents never received geriatric allowances (AOR=2.46, 95% CI=1.22-4.98), respondent’s history of alcohol consumption habits (AOR=2.04, 95% CI=1.01-4.11) and non-vegetarian diet habits (AOR= 2.31, 95% CI=1.12-4.76) were found more likely to had higher dementia symptoms whereas, literate participants (AOR=0.19, 95% CI=0.08-0.43) were less likely to had dementia symptoms.
Conclusion The high prevalence of dementia symptoms among senior citizens living in geriatric homes in the Kathmandu valley indicates an urgent need for early diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders among senior citizens to improve their quality of life and well-being.

Authors: Thapa P. , Sharma A. , Mahato N. 
Published: November 2022

Background Enhanced recovery after surgery is a multimodal strategy, used to attenuate the loss and improve the restoration of functional capacity after surgery. Now widely used in elective surgery, the implementation of all of its components is not feasible in emergency surgery. Therefore, its tailored protocol is likely to give better outcome.
Objective To investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of enhanced recovery after surgery in emergency surgery for Duodenal Ulcer Perforation.
Method Hospital based study conducted at Nepalgunj Medical College, Kohalpur from September 2018 to 2020. Hundred patients underwent emergency laparotomy with Classical Graham’s Patch Repair. Fifty patients in the enhanced recovery after surgery group were managed as per the protocol and the rest were managed conventionally. Both the groups were compared in terms of length of hospital stay, functional recovery parameters and complications.
Result There were 48 (96%) males and 2 (4%) females in enhanced recovery after surgery group and 45 (90%) males and 5 (10%) females in non-enhanced recovery after surgery group. The mean length of hospital stay in enhanced recovery after surgery group was 4.9 ± 0.76 days together with early functional recovery compared to 9.06 ± 2.44 days in non-enhanced recovery after surgery group (p < 0.05). Complications as per Clavien-Dindo grading were more in the non- enhanced recovery after surgery group (p=0.03).
Conclusion Enhanced recovery after surgery is feasible and effective strategy resulting in early recovery, reduced hospital stay and complications in patients undergoing emergency surgery for duodenal ulcer perforation.

Background and Aims: The COVID 19 pandemic have affected the patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction as the number of patients presenting with STEMI declined substantially and those who underwent primary PCI had poor outcome. Our aim was to analyze the in-hospital and 30-days mortality in STEMI undergoing Primary PCI during second wave of COVID 19.
Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted at Shahid Gangalal National Heart Centre, Bansbari, Kathmandu. Convenience sampling of patients who underwent primary PCI were enrolled in this study and were followed up for 30 days. Numerical variables were described as Mean ± Standard Deviation (SD) and categorical variables were described as frequency and percentage. p values were calculated and considered significant if < 0.05.
Results: During this study period of 2 months from 1st May 2021 to 30th June 2021, 97 patients with STEMI underwent primary PCI, including 12 (12.47%) COVID 19 positive cases. 30 days mortality was 15.4% including in-hospital mortality of 11.34%. Among COVID 19 positive cases, in-hospital mortality was 33.33% and 30-days mortality was 55.55% which was significantly higher than non COVID 19 patient who underwent primary PCI (P=0.003).
Conclusion: Overall, mortality rate of primary PCI during COVID 19 second wave has been increased and mortality of COVID 19 positive patients who underwent primary PCI was significantly higher than non-COVID 19 patients who underwent primary PCI.
DIACHRONIC AND SYNCHRONIC ANALYSIS OF LEXICOGRAPHIC PROCESSES OF MINORITY LANGUAGES IN SCOTLAND: A CONTRASTIVE APPROACH
Authors: Lemeshchenko-Lagoda Viktoriia V. 
Published: November 2022

The paper offers a diachronic and synchronic analysis of the lexicographic processes of the minority languages in Scotland – Scottish Gaelic and Scots. For the first time, three periods (period of glossaries, historical period, modern “educational” period) of the Scottish Gaelic lexicography, and four periods (period of glossaries, pre-scientific period and dialectological period, historical period and scientific period) of еру Scots lexicography were outlined. The author discusses the diachronic and synchronic analysis of lexicographic sources, singles out common and divergent features of both lexicographic processes development, as well as the basic principles and approaches to compiling dictionaries. For the Scottish-Gaelic lexicography, it is absolutely untypical to compile dictionaries of dialectal words; to interpret the Gaelic language as a dialect of Irish, in contrast to the Scots, which for a long period of its development was perceived as a dialect of English, which prompted the lexicographers to compile dictionaries of dialectal vocabulary. A significant advantage of Scottish Gaelic dictionaries lies in the fact that English-Gaelic dictionaries appeared decades earlier in comparison with similar editions in the Scots language. Despite the fact that Scottish Gaelic is the official language of Scotland, Scottish Gaelic lexicography, compared to the Scots one, is significantly inferior both in the number of published dictionaries and in the quality of their content (macro- and microstructure). Both lexicographic processes are characterized by the lack of monolingual dictionaries. All publications are bilingual (translated into English, or from English, rarely in other languages).
EXTRALINGUISTIC FEATURES OF THE MACROSTRUCTURE IN ENGLISH LINGUISTIC DICTIONARIES
Authors: Kaliberda Oksana O. 
Published: November 2022

The lexicographic practice of the past and present, the theoretical foundations of lexicographic science determine a fairly wide range of problems in contemporary linguistics that require their solution. One of the controversial issues is the opposition of encyclopaedic and linguistic dictionaries. In the theory linguistic and encyclopaedic dichotomy has rather clearly defined boundaries, but in practice it turns out to be quite difficult to establish where the definition of a word ends and the description of the concept that this word conveys begins. A number of researchers adhere to the opinion that modern English linguistic lexicography is characterised by the process of integration with encyclopaedic lexicography. And nowadays we witness the emergence of hybrid dictionaries which attempt to incorporate both types of information (linguistic and encyclopaedic) in their structure. This paper presents a study of English linguistic dictionary macrostructure with a particular emphasis on encyclopaedic component. It investigates how elements of encyclopaedic nature are interlaced with linguistic elements on the level of dictionary macrostructure. The obtained results show that the average rate of encyclopaedization at the level of the macrostructure of the English dictionaries reaches about 13% of the total. The analysis of the macrostructure revealed that the fundamental difference between linguistic and encyclopaedic dictionaries is in the methods of headwords selection. The macrostructure of the encyclopaedic dictionary is limited by its register as it does not include such parts of speech as adjectives, numerals, pronouns, verbs, adverbs, prepositions and conjunctions. Linguistic dictionary in opposition to encyclopaedic dictionary registers all parts of speech in its macrostructure. The results show that English linguistic lexicography tends to register both linguistic and encyclopaedic headwords in its macrostructure.
ENGLISH PREDICATIVE CONSTRUCTIONS: STRUCTURE AND TYPES
Authors: Lemish Nataliya Ye. , Kravtsova Yuliia V. , Tolcheyeva Tetiana S. 
Published: November 2022

This paper deals with the typology of predicative constructions in the English language based on their structure. It provides a theoretical overview of the existing standpoints as for the above mentioned language phenomenon, specifying the structure of the English predicative constructions, and determining their types. Any predicative construction consists of two parts – nominal + verbal. Between the two parts of the predicative construction there is a secondary predicative relation, i.e. the relation similar to that as the subject and the predicate have. The predicative construction may be used only when there are two different doers of the actions in the sentence. As soon as there are three types of verbals in English (the Infinitive, the Gerund, and the Participle), it is only logical to identify infinitival, gerundial, and participial predicative constructions: there is no predicative construction without a verbal, and then the name of the construction indicates the type of the verbal used in it. As a result of the study eleven types of predicative constructions were defined, namely: two gerundial types (Gerundial and Half-Gerundial), three infinitival types (Objective Infinitive, Subjective Infinitive, and For-to-Infinitive), six participial types (Objective Participial, Subjective Participial, Nominative Absolute Participial, Prepositional Absolute Participial, and two purely absolute constructions where there is no explicit verbal constituent but it is implied and can be easily restored – Nominative Absolute (Participial) and Prepositional Absolute (Participial)). The paper is believed to be of practical use for future translators / interpreters and English-language teachers, for it gives both an overall idea of a predicative construction as of an English language economy means and syntactic functions of all predicative constructions in the sentence.

Published: November 2022

Background: Posture is the alignment or orientation of body segments by maintaining an upright position. The postural deviations associated with change in young people’s behavior have increased. Incorrect posture refers to an irregular state of the body in which the body does not sustain a steady state and tissues and organs function normally in an erect position.
Objective: The objectives of this study were to check the knowledge about body posture, attitude towards good and bad posture and practice for correcting the wrong posture to prevent complications in physiotherapy students.
Methodology: An observational cross sectional study was conducted among the physiotherapy students from University Institute of Physical Therapy (UIPT), The University of Lahore Chenab Campus; Pakistan. For knowledge section Questionnaire on level of awareness of body use in young people was used, for attitude section a self-structured questionnaire and for practice section (Q-BAPHYP) was used. Data were analyzed by using SPSS (version 21.0).
Results: Out of 202 physiotherapy students, 21(10.4%) were males and 181(89.6%) were females. 12.4% students were from 2nd year, 37.1% from 3rd year, 28.2% from 4th year and 22.3% from 5th year. Average age was 21.43 years. Among the total 36(17.8%) student’s had knowledge of good posture, 143(70.8%) often good posture. 168(83.2%) students responded of having a positive attitude towards good posture and only 11(5.4%) always practices good posture in their daily life. There is a positive but a weak correlation between knowledge and attitude (Spearman Correlation value=0.138)
Conclusion: It was found that the physiotherapy students had knowledge of good posture and showed a positive attitude towards good posture but they are not well practicing it in their daily routine.

Rib fixation for flail chest physiology and the facilitation of safe prone spinal surgery: illustrative case
Authors: Wessell Jeffrey E. , Pereira Matheus P. , Eriksson Evert A. , Kalhorn Stephen P. 
Published: November 2022

BACKGROUND
Spine fractures are frequently associated with additional injuries in the trauma setting, with chest wall trauma being particularly common. Limited literature exists on the management of flail chest physiology with concurrent unstable spinal injury. The authors present a case in which flail chest physiology precluded safe prone surgery and after rib fixation the patient tolerated spinal fixation without further issue.

OBSERVATIONS
Flail chest physiology can cause cardiovascular decompensation in the prone position. Stabilization of the chest wall addresses this instability allowing for safe prone spinal surgery.

LESSONS
Chest wall fixation should be considered in select cases of flail chest physiology prior to stabilization of the spinal column in the prone position. Further research is necessary to identify patients that are at highest risk to not tolerate prone surgery.

Authors: Ravara Barbara , Giuriati Walter P , Pond Amber L 
Published: November 2022

Prof. Ugo Carraro will reach 80 years of age next 23 February 2023, and we wish to celebrate him and his work by reviewing his lifetime of scientific achievements. Prof. Carraro, currently is a Senior Scholar with the University of Padua, Italy, where, as a tenured faculty member, he founded the _Interdepartmental Research Center of Myology (CIR-MYO)_. Prof. Carraro is a pioneer in skeletal muscle research and a world-class expert in structural and molecular investigations of skeletal muscle biology, physiopathology and care. He is an expert in applied bidimensional gel electrophoresis for myosin light chains and was the first to separate mammalian muscle myosin heavy chain isoforms by SDS-gel electrophoresis, particularly the embryonic isoforms. He has demonstrated the ability of long-term denervated muscle to survive denervation by myofiber regeneration, as well as the beneficial impacts of an athletic lifestyle on muscle reinnervation. He has utilized his expertise in translational myology by working to develop and validate rehabilitative treatments of denervated and ageing skeletal muscle. He has authored more than 160 PubMed listed papers (several in Neurological Research, together with guest editing two issues of the journal) and numerous scholarly books. He founded and serves as Editor-in-Chief of the EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF TRANSLATIONAL MYOLOGY AND MOBILITY MEDICINE. He has organized more than 50 Padua Muscle Days Meetings and continues to do this, encouraging students and young scientists to participate. As his endless dreams, he is currently validating non-invasive analyses on saliva and sweat, a promising approach that will allow increased frequency sampling to analyze systemic factors (e.g., cytokenes and myokines) during the transient effects of training and rehabilitation by his proposed Full-Body in-Bed Gym for bed-ridden elderly.
The Polyfollicular Anovulatory Androgenic Syndrome: A New Label for an Old Syndrome
Authors: Kandil Mohamed 
Published: November 2022

Polycystic ovary syndrome is a hormonal disorder common among women of reproductive age. The affected women may have infrequent or prolonged menstrual periods or excess male hormone levels with manifestations of hyperandrogenemia. The ovaries may fail to ovulate with many arrested follicles at the primordial stage. There was a time when the medical profession honored its members by naming diseases after them and that was the case with Stein and Leventhal syndrome which was later changed to polycystic ovary syndrome. Since then, our understanding of the syndrome had changed dramatically. It is now not just a mere association of symptoms with some ultrasonographic features, but rather complex hormonal and metabolic abnormalities with a wide spectrum of variable clinical presentations. Hence, there is an obvious need for a new name to reflect these abnormalities. This article explains the existing problem with the current name and suggests a new system to rename the syndrome.

Published: November 2022

<p>This is a conference presentation delivered at Library Assessment Conference in November 2022. </p>
<p>Toronto Metropolitan University Library implemented the scan and deliver service in June 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic. With this service patrons can request a portion of text, such as a chapter of a book or a journal article, be scanned by a library staff member and emailed to them. This and other complementary services were implemented because of limited access to the physical library building and the print collection due to pandemic lockdowns. As the Library space reopened to patrons, we assessed this service to understand its impact and plan for future service offerings. This paper addresses why Toronto Metropolitan University Library patrons have used the scan and deliver service: what benefits does it offer them, what role do scanned materials play in their scholarly research, and what barriers does it help them overcome? These questions will inform the future of this service at our library and can be used to address similar questions facing other libraries regarding services implemented mid-pandemic. </p>

This paper presents a cryptanalysis attack on the RSA variant with modulus $N=p^rq$ for $r\geq 2$ with three public and private exponents $(e_1,d_1),$ $(e_2,d_2),$ $(e_3,d_3)$ sharing the same modulus $N$ where $p$ and $q$ are consider to prime having the same bit size. Our attack shows that we get the private exponent $\sigma_1\sigma_2\sigma_3&lt;\left(\frac{r-1}{r+1}\right)^4$, which makes the modulus vulnerable to Coppersmith's attacks and can lead to the factorization of $N$ efficiently	where $d_1	The asymptotic bound of our attack is greater than the bounds for May \cite{May}, Zheng and Hu \cite{Z}, and Lu et al. \cite{Y} for $2\leq r \leq 10$ and greater than Sarkar's \cite{Sarkar1} and \cite{Sarkar} bounds for $5 \leq r \leq10$.
Determinantes dos gastos com medicamentos em um hospital público federal no Rio de Janeiro de 2013 a 2020
Authors: Silva Maria Aparecida Corrêa da , Costa Milene Rangel da 
Published: November 2022

Os medicamentos são um dos principais fatores das despesas em saúde e garantir o acesso a essa tecnologia é um desafio diante da limitação financeira dos sistemas de saúde. O objetivo desse estudo foi analisar os gastos com medicamentos de um hospital federal terciário do Rio de janeiro entre 2013 e 2020. Dados de aquisição foram obtidos através do Sistema de Informação de Gestão e Controle de Estoque (SIGCE) do hospital. Os medicamentos foram classificados de acordo com o sistema WHO-ATC / DDD e agregados por quantidade e por gasto. Realizou-se análise de decomposição para os medicamentos da curva A, entre os anos 2015 e 2020. Os gastos anuais reduziram-se cerca de 20% no período (de R$ 16,9 milhões em 2013 para R$ 13,4 milhões em 2020), e a quantidade total adquirida também sofreu queda de 33,7%, variando de 5,7 milhões de unidades em 2013 para 3,8 milhões em 2020. Os preços e a quantidade contribuíram para a redução dos gastos, enquanto o mix de medicamentos contribui positivamente, optando-se pela aquisição de itens, em média, mais caros. Os agentes antineoplásicos, imunossupressores e anti-infecciosos de uso sistêmico foram os maiores gastos na classe A e juntos representaram em média 68,6% do gasto total da classe, destacando-se o subgrupo L01F (anticorpos monoclonais), além do subgrupo J02A (antimicóticos de uso sistêmico). Esse estudo demonstrou que a tendência de queda do gasto com medicamentos foi determinada pela diminuição da quantidade adquirida dos itens de maior preço unitário.
