Summary
Trichinellosis is a nematode-causing disease distinguished by its continuous transmission in the carnivores and omnivores. Despite effective eradication of the enteral forms, conventional drugs fail to eliminate the migrating and muscle ones. Over the past years, researchers intensified the work on herbal medicines as alternatives or aids to albendazole, the reference drug. This research hypothesizes that the therapeutic agent absorption route could be an evidence-based carrier molecule or auxiliary drug to albendazole. Accordingly, this in vitro study was designed to investigate mainly the phenotypic changes induced by a mono-treatment of albendazole, Lipidium sativum (garden cress), and Commiphora molmol (myrrh). Incredibly, no data were reported on the morphological alterations of T. spiralis larvae treated by any of these drugs. The experimental design tested various concentrations (25, 50, 100, and 200 μg/ml) of each herbal medicine for the lethal effects on the parasite forms for a day (1, 12, and 24h). The data showed that the highest significant mortality rate of the parasite forms was in favor of the concentration 200 μg/ml of both plant extracts in a time-dependent manner. Therefore, albendazole at 200 μg/ml dose was tested in parallel, and all experimental groups were compared to non-treated muscle larvae and worms. Albendazole-treated worms accounted for the least significant (p<0.001) survival rate (2 %), followed by myrrh (5 %), and the adverse was valid for the survival rate of the muscle larvae at that time. None of the larvae/worms was alive after 24 hours of incubation with the 200μg/ml of either treatment. The scanning electron microscope investigation of the experimental groups provided a shred of evidence for different routes of taking up the candidate drugs by the parasite. In conclusion, the results of the previous work in vivo and current in vitro study recommend myrrh over garden cress as a complementary agent of albendazole.
The Indirect Effects of Right Wing Authoritarianism and Ambivalent Sexism in Cadets' Opinions on the Fairness of RMC's Physical Performance Test
Authors: Ford Emily 
Published: May 2022

In an effort to create an inclusive culture, the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) has been attempting to eradicate sexism within its ranks (Scoppio, 2019). Despite these efforts, female soldiers continue to face discrimination in the CAF. At the Royal Military College of Canada (RMC), cadets must complete a physical performance test (PPT), in which male and female cadets are scored differently according to sex due to biological differences. Evidence shows that the separate marking scheme creates a divide between the sexes, as female cadets feel that their PPT scores are taken less seriously than male cadets and male cadets denigrate the PPT scores obtained by female cadets (Scoppio, 2019). Right wing authoritarianism (RWA), ambivalent sexism (AS), and its two subscales, benevolent sexism (BS) and hostile sexism (HS) may help explain attitudes regarding gender fairness of PPT scores. Results from a sample of 169 cadets' revealed that the relationship between RWA and BS and RWA and AS do not significantly predict opinions on the PPT and the indirect effects were not significant. However, the indirect effects between RWA, HS, and attitudes regarding the PPT were significant.
To Kill the False Woman: Annie Ernaux Autobiographical Writing in Happening
Authors: Wagner Rose 
Published: May 2022

Annie Ernaux’s L’événement (Happening) stands as a powerful piece of autobiographical discourse and incites discussion in both trauma literature and as an extension of Hélène Cixous’s The laugh of the Medusa. Ernaux’s text revolves around her clandestine abortion, as she writes of her trauma through the event. I will attempt to demonstrate that while the mere act of writing constitutes a form of overcoming traumatic events, Ernaux’s writing goes above and beyond these conventions. To do so, I will analyze how Ernaux’s autobiographical writing combines several discursive, narrative, and literary techniques to firstly meditate and reflect on the past and present, and secondly to reconcile and overcome the past and presents perspectives, or the “unspeakable” incited by rigid social and legal norms. I will further demonstrate how by writing her own body, that is by meditating on the numerous limitations placed on the female body and mind, her literary contribution is two-fold: Ernaux both pays homage to her own personal female experience and represents the collective female experience in a larger, historical context. The result is a re-framing of a feminine narrative into a human question through a validation of Ernaux’s experience.
Evaluating the training needs for an epilepsy education program by assessing the beliefs and attitudes of families with children impacted by epilepsy.
Authors: Subhani Anwar 
Published: May 2022

Background: The aftermath of a seizure for a child and their family alongside a lack of accessible epilepsy education programs reinforces a perceived loss of control and anxiety states. A virtual video teaching platform is being developed to allow families to connect with and learn about their child’s epilepsy. The queries and training needs of diverse patient groups must be addressed to ensure the platform’s personalization and success.
Objective: We assessed the training needs, beliefs, and attitudes through a questionnaire for families, taking into account epilepsy severity, time of their child’s diagnosis, and religiosity.Methods: Over two months, patients of the Alberta Children Hospital’s Neuroscience outpatient clinic were contacted to complete the survey. We focused on analyzing how families’ beliefs towards the causes, treatment, and manifestations of epilepsy influenced training needs and interest and whether that is correlated with epilepsy severity, time of diagnosis, and religiosity. A one-way ANOVA was conducted.
Results: 67 families responded to the survey. Families with a recent initial seizure were more inclined to believe in more environmental and behavioral causes of epilepsy. Those with longer-standing epilepsy believed in more medical causes for epilepsy. More religious families were slightly inclined to believe in prayers and miracles as treatment. All groups presented a high interest in the video topics, with more religious families drawn to the ‘Life with Epilepsy’ module videos.
Conclusions: These results will ensure the program design facilitates understanding of epilepsy, leading to expedited social integration, better coping, and reduced mental health comorbidities for all patient groups.
Whiteness and Blackness in The Bluest Eye
Authors: Misiewicz Lorena 
Published: May 2022

Toni Morrison has long proposed that the concept of physical beauty is one of the most destructive ideologies of human thought. This essay aims to deal with how Morrison’s 1970 novel The Bluest Eye exposes the dogma that physical beauty and pureness itself are straightforwardly associated with whiteness; allowing whiteness to provide a cloak of invisibility to those who possess it. This then subjects blackness to be the placeholder of what is ugly, bad and dangerous in the world; forcing the trait of blackness to be a conviction of visibility. This essay will follow myself, a white individual, grappling with the fact that I have been given the privilege to go through life unnoticed only because I happened to be born white. Further, the repercussions of this fact are confronted, those who are black are stripped from the privilege of going unnoticed. The Bluest Eye and my mediation of the novel present that even a raised consciousness about the privileges of whiteness fails to prevent racial self-loathing and violence against Blacks due to whiteness taking over the measure of humanness. Despite this, there is still hope in the future of blackness which can only be accomplished by displacing the authority of whiteness and questioning the structures that allow the authority of whiteness to prevail.
Immigrant entrepreneurs’ influence on the career paths of their children
Authors: Bubeqi Alison 
Published: May 2022

There is a gap in the research describing how the entrepreneurial spirit of parents who have successfully immigrated can be imprinted onto their children and influence their career paths. The objective of this study is to bridge these two points and examine how these entrepreneurs have guided the career paths of their first-generation children, from the child’s perception. This study aims to benefit society by documenting how first-generation Canadians perceive their parents to have contributed to their future career paths. A survey will be administered to 15 undergraduate students that are born in Canada with at least one parent born outside of Canada that owns and operates a business. The survey assesses each participant on externally validated surveys of entrepreneurial personality aspects (risk aversion, conscientiousness, and openness to experience) to normalize participants on a scale of entrepreneurial orientation. Participants will then be interviewed about their career aspirations, their parent(s’) career(s), expectations from their parent(s), and their parent(s’) encouragement or discouragement of following the same parental career. The principal goal is to develop a theory of entrepreneurial transfer from parent to child that will involve (i) the effect their parents’ journey had on their choices and opinions towards entrepreneurship, (ii) the extent of the child’s desire or lack thereof to follow the career path most approved by their immigrant parents, and (iii) their underlying reasons for the acceptance or rejection of their parents’ desires for their careers.

Authors: Prowse Rachel , Doan Natalie , Philipneri Anne , Thielman Justin , Hack Salma , Harrington Dan W. , Jessri Mahsa 
Published: May 2022

Purpose: Explore Canadians’ dietary intake in relation to the 2019 Canada’s Food Guide (CFG) Plate using novel volume-based food analyses, by age and meal occasion. Methods: Foods reported in 24-hour recalls by 20,456 Canadians in the 2015 Canadian Community Health Survey – Nutrition were classified as: Vegetables and Fruits, Whole Grain Foods, Protein Foods, Non-Whole Grain Foods or Other Foods (high in fat, sugar, sodium). Food volumes were used to calculate percent contributions of each grouping to total intake, stratified by age (1–6; 7–12; 13–17; 18–64; 65+years) and meal (breakfast, lunch, supper, snack), applying sample survey weights and bootstrapping. Results: By volume, the Canadian population diet included: 29% Vegetables and Fruits, 22% Protein Foods, 7% Whole Grains, 24% Non-Whole Grain Foods, and 18% Other Foods. Intakes of Protein Foods (1–6 years) and Other Foods (7–12; 13–17 years) were higher in children than adults by volume, relative to total intake. Whole Grains intake was highest at breakfast. Other Foods intake was highest at snack. Conclusions: The volume-based population diet of Canadians reported on a single day includes a substantial proportion of non-recommended foods. There are opportunities to design interventions that target specific foods, ages, and meals to align intake with recommendations.
The Association Between Hearing Impairment, Vision Impairment, Dual Sensory Impairment, and Serious Cognitive Impairment: Findings from a Population-Based Study of 5.4 million Older Adults
Authors: Fuller-Thomson Esme , Nowaczynski Aliya , MacNeil Andie 
Published: May 2022

Background: Sensory impairments and cognitive impairment are increasing in scope due to the aging population. Objective: To investigate the association between hearing impairment, vision impairment, and dual sensory impairment with cognitive impairment among older adults. Methods: Secondary analysis of a combination of ten consecutive waves (2008–2017) of the nationally representative American Community Survey. The sample included 5.4 million community-dwelling and institutionalized older adults aged 65 and older. Bivariate and logistic regression models were conducted to examine the association hearing impairment, vision impairment, and dual sensory impairment with cognitive impairment. Results: After controlling for age, race, education, and income, older adults with only hearing impairment had more than double the odds of cognitive impairment (OR = 2.66, 95% CI = 2.64, 2.68), while older adults with only vision impairment had more than triple the odds of cognitive impairment (OR = 3.63; 95% CI = 3.59, 3.67). For older adults with dual sensory impairment, the odds of cognitive impairment were eight-fold (OR = 8.16; 95% CI = 8.07, 8.25). Similar trends were apparent in each sex and age cohort. Conclusion: Hearing and vision impairment are both independently associated with cognitive impairment. However, dual sensory impairment is associated with substantially higher odds of cognitive impairment, even after controlling for sociodemographic characteristics. Practitioners working with older adults may consider treatment for sensory impairments and cognitive impairment concurrently. Future research is needed to determine if the association is causal, and to investigate the effectiveness of common methods of treatment for sensory impairment for reducing the prevalence of cognitive impairment.
Surgical treatment of Temporal Lobe Epilepsy: comparative results of selective amygdalohippocampectomy versus anterior temporal lobectomy from a referral center in Brazil

Published: May 2022

INTRODUCTION

Temporal Lobe Epilepsy (TLE) is a high prevalence neurological disorder and tends to drug refractoriness. Surgery has emerged as a promising treatment for managing crises and a better quality of life for these patients. The objective of this work is to compare the surgical results in terms of seizure control concerning the surgical technique performed (Anterior temporal lobectomy (ATL) vs. Selective amygdalohippocampectomy (SAH)) in a cohort of 132 patients operated in an epilepsy reference center.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

We performed a retrospective study based on the review of medical records of 146 patients operated for TLE from 2008 to 2019 at the Santa Casa de Misericordia in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Initially, 13 patients were excluded from the study due to insufficient medical record data or follow-up loss. One patient was excluded from the analysis of the results due to death in the first postoperative week. We used the ILAE scale to classify seizure control after surgery. In patients with left hippocampal sclerosis, the most selective approach was performed (SAH), and in right temporal lobe epilepsy, ATL was the approach of choice. We compared the surgical groups using the survival and Kaplan-Maier curves.

RESULTS

A total of 132 patients were evaluated in this study, with a mean follow-up time after surgery of 57.2 months (12-137). In our data analysis, we found that the group of patients undergoing ATL had a higher prevalence of being completely seizure-free (ILAE I) (57.1% vs. 31%) and a higher rate of satisfactory seizure control (88.6% vs. 69.3%) p =0,006, when compared to patients undergoing SAH.

CONCLUSION

The literature is still controversial about seizure control results concerning the surgical technique used due to the lack of studies with a robust methodology for an adequate comparison. In our data analysis, we identified the superiority of ATL over SAH in seizure outcomes. In countries with a cost limitation for extended propaedeutics, ATL may be the best option for the proper control of seizures with minimal additional morbidity.
Experience of Paramedics Providing Care to People Living with Dementia: The Working with Uncertainty
Authors: Courtney-Pratt Helen , Eccleston Claire , Lucas Peter , Tierney Laura , Harris Wayne , Campbell Briony , Lawler Katherine 
Published: May 2022

Paramedics are key to the provision of emergency care in the community. Those living with dementia use paramedic services at a high rate, due to a range of issues related to comorbid conditions and other acute events which mean care cannot continue in the home. There is a paucity of literature related to care provided in such instances. Anecdotally, a perception exists that providing care to this group of people is challenging for paramedics in situations where high level assessment and emergency care are paramount. Paramedics in one Australian state were sought to participate in an exploratory study to enhance understanding of how they currently worked with people who lived in the community and had dementia. Sixteen participants were recruited to the study, and they worked in a number of areas, including urban and rural. Experience was broad, ranging from one to 36 years in the paramedic role. Inductive thematic analysis of interviews revealed key themes that framed the paramedic role and permeated interactions, assessment and decision-making. Paramedics participating in this study recognised people living with dementia who had high level impacts of the condition, suggesting those with less visible symptoms may remain hidden. With the projected increase of people diagnosed with dementia it is imperative that paramedics are aware of, and integrate dementia knowledge, skills and confidence into their practice. Deeper exploration of the area that includes volunteer ambulance personnel and further inquiry of the role of paramedics in relation to those living with dementia is needed. A focus on education and professional development to equip paramedics to work with people living with dementia is recommended. The findings suggest that greater work in this area is required.
