Abstract
Background
Ante natal care (ANC) is a key entry point for a pregnant woman to receive abroad range of promotion and preventive health services. Quality of ANC has paramount role to ensure better maternal and neonatal outcome.

Objective

To assess the quality of antenatal care services at public health facilities of western Ethiopia.

Methods
Facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted from May 30th to June 30th, 2016. All public health facilities in the Kellem Wollega Zone of West Ethiopia were audited, 316 medical records were reviewed, and 316 pregnant women were interviewed. The data was entered using EPI Data version 3.1 and analyzed using SPSS version 20.0. Descriptive statistics, binary, and multiple logistic regressions were conducted. Variables with a P-value of <0.05 were considered as statistically significant associated factors.

Results
A total of 316 pregnant women were enrolled in the study. All facilities were categorized as “good” by the possession of necessary equipment, 3/4 by basic amenities and 87.34% by general and gynecologic examination. The information was provided for 222(86.21%), which is categorized as poor. About 252 (79.7%) of the women were satisfied with ANC. A urine sample taken during ANC visit [(AOR= 3.36 (95 % CI= 1.70, 6.61)], and counseling on nutrition during pregnancy [(AOR= 2.27 (95 % CI=1.16, 4.45)] were predictors of client satisfaction on ANC.

Conclusions
In this study quality of ANC was labeled good for structural aspects and poor for process aspects of quality. In terms of outcome aspects, the majority of pregnant women were satisfied with the ANC they received. A urine sample taken during the ANC visits and being counseled on nutrition during pregnancy were predictors for client satisfaction on ANC. Concerned bodies need to improve laboratory tests and information provision.
Remapping the translation policies in China: contributions from Macau
Authors: Han Lili , Yang Nan 
Published: October 2022

AbstractTranslation policy, although an essential topic in the domain of language policy, has been understudied in China. Macau, as the earliest encounter point between the western and oriental cultures in Modern China, has been undeservingly neglected in this aspect, although its translation activities have never been interrupted since the Ming Dynasty. As such, this article sets out to trace the development of the translation policy in Macau (from its establishment to its handover to China in 1999). In particular, we will focus on tracing the historical evolution and development of the translation policy in Macau in the time span of over 400 years since the Portuguese establishment in 1557. The purpose is to cast a critical eye on its experiences in translation policymaking, using examples from official regulations, existing studies, and bibliometric data. We reconceptualize translation policy to entail the aspects of translation management, translation practices, and beliefs. Overall, the translation policy of Macau contributes to remapping the translation policy of China as important footnotes to the fuller picture of several essential historical periods.

Published: October 2022

AbstractHome blood pressure measurement (HBPM) has the advantage of measuring blood pressure (BP) multiple times over a long period. HBPM effectively diagnoses stress-induced transient BP elevations (i.e., white coat hypertension), insufficient BP control throughout the day (i.e., masked hypertension), and even BP variability. In most cases, HBPM may increase self-awareness of BP, increasing the compliance of treatment. Cumulative evidence has reported better improved predictive values of HBPM in cardiovascular morbidity and mortality than office BP monitoring. In this position paper, the Korean Society of Hypertension Home Blood Pressure Forum provides comprehensive information and clinical importance on HBPM.

Published: October 2022

Abstract
Background
To explore the risk factors for early progression of diffuse low-grade glioma in adults.

Methods
A retrospective analysis of pathologic and clinical data of patients diagnosed with diffuse low-grade gliomas at Southwest Hospital between January 2010 and December 2014. The progression-free survival (PFS) less than 60 months was classified as the early progress group, and the PFS greater than 60 months was the control group for comparative analysis.

Results
A total of 138 patients were included in this study, including 94 cases of astrocytoma and 44 cases of oligodendroglioma. There were 63 cases with 100% resection, 56 cases with 90–100% resection degree, and 19 cases with resection degree < 90%. The average follow-up time was 60 months, of which 80 patients progressed and 58 patients did not progress. The average progression-free survival was 61 months. The median progression-free survival was 60 months. There were 68 patients with PFS≤ 60 months and 70 patients with PFS > 60 months. The two groups were compared for statistical analysis. In univariate analysis, there were significant differences in tumor subtype (p = 0.005), range (p = 0.011), volume (p = 0.005), location (p = 0.000), and extent of resection (p = 0.000). Multifactor analysis shows tumor location (HR = 4.549, 95% CI: 1.324–15.634, p = 0.016) and tumor subtype (HR = 3.347, 95% CI = 1.373–8.157, p = 0.008), and imcomplete resection is factors influencing early progression of low-grade glioma.

Conclusions
Low-grade gliomas involving deep location such as basal ganglia, inner capsule, and corpus callosum are more likely to progress early, while incomplete resection is a risk factor in early progression of astrocytoma.

Published: October 2022

Abstract
Background
Inflammatory response is an important characteristic affecting prognosis and therapeutic response in lower-grade glioma (LGG). However, the molecular subtypes based on inflammatory response are still under exploitation.

Methods
The RNA sequencing, somatic mutation, and corresponding clinical data from 1205 LGG patients were obtained from the TCGA, CGGA, and Rembrandt cohorts. Consensus clustering was performed to identify molecular subtypes associated with inflammation. Prognosis, clinicopathologic features, immune cell infiltration, and somatic mutation profile were compared among these inflammation-associated subtypes.

Results
Our results demonstrate that LGG could be categorized into inflammation-, low, -mid, and -high subtypes with distinct clinicopathologic features, prognostic and tumor microenvironment. We established that this categorization was reproducible, as well as predictable. In general, inflammation-high subtype presents a dismal prognosis with the immunosuppressive microenvironment and high frequency of oncogene mutation. Inversely, inflammation-low subtype was associated with the most favorable clinical outcomes with the immunoreactive microenvironment among three subtypes. Moreover, we develop and validate an inflammation-related prognostic model, which shows strong power for prognosis assessment.

Conclusion
In conclusion, we established a novel glioma classification based on the inflammation subtype. This classification had significant outcomes for estimating the prognosis, as well as the tumor microenvironment.

Published: October 2022

AbstractThe objective was to document the influence of face mask use by other people on communication experiences, participation in activities, and quality of life. Australian adults (n = 665) completed an online survey; 90.8% resided in a state with mandatory mask use outside the home and 44.1% self-reported hearing difficulties. Mask use was reported as negatively affecting communication quality in the community (90.2%) and workplace (91.8%), and with household members (59.1%), including an increased requirement for clarification and repetition, increased difficulty communicating, and decreased understanding. Masks influenced feelings when communicating in the community (74.1%) and workplace (76.7%), and with household members (43.6%), including increased fatigue and frustration, and decreased connection to others. Masks influenced the time spent communicating in the community (68.8%) and workplace (67.9%), and with household members (42.3%), including a decrease in the number of individuals communicated with, and the time spent communicating with each individual. Masks influenced participation in activities in the community (50.9%) and workplace (59.7%), and with household members (41.3%), including reduced participation in health-related activities, shopping, and socialising. Influences on quality of life included reduced physical and mental health, including increased loneliness. Female gender and greater self-reported hearing difficulties were significantly associated with increased influence of mask use. The wide-ranging influences of face mask use have implications for physical health and mental health, including social connectedness, and for employers and the economy. As an important measure for combatting disease spread, the negative impacts of mask use must be considered during policy formulation, and appropriate mitigating measures, such as educational campaigns, enacted.
Measuring the effects of misinformation exposure and beliefs on behavioural intentions: a COVID-19 vaccination study
Authors: de Saint Laurent Constance , Murphy Gillian , Hegarty Karen , Greene Ciara M. 
Published: October 2022

AbstractMisinformation has been a pressing issue since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, threatening our ability to effectively act on the crisis. Nevertheless, little is known about the actual effects of fake news on behavioural intentions. Does exposure to or belief in misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines affect people’s intentions to receive such a vaccine? This paper attempts to address this question via three preregistered experiments (N = 3463). In Study 1, participants (n = 1269) were exposed to fabricated pro- or anti-vaccine information or to neutral true information, and then asked about their intentions to get vaccinated. In Study 2, participants (n = 646) were exposed to true pro- and anti-vaccine information, while Study 3 (n = 1548) experimentally manipulated beliefs in novel misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines by increasing exposure to the information. The results of these three studies showed that exposure to false information about the vaccines had little effect on participants’ intentions to get vaccinated, even when multiple exposures led them to believe the headlines to be more accurate. An exploratory meta-analysis of studies 1 and 3, with a combined sample size of 2683, showed that exposure to false information both supporting and opposing COVID-19 vaccines actually increased vaccination intentions, though the effect size was very small. We conclude by cautioning researchers against equating exposure to misinformation or perceived accuracy of false news with actual behaviours.
Ventriculosubgaleal shunting for spontaneous intraventricular haemorrhage: is it a good alternative to external ventricular drainage?
Authors: Elfadle Amr Abu , Zarad Carmen Ali , Soliman Ahmed Y. , Eissa Abdelmoneim Ahmed Nagy , Elzoghby Mohamed A. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Background
Spontaneous intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH) is a life-threatening condition associated with high morbidity and mortality and is conventionally managed using external ventricular drain (EVD). However, EVD is commonly associated with a high rate of complications, which necessitates another alternative management with a comparable or better outcome. This study aims to compare the efficacy and safety of ventriculosubgaleal shunt (VSGS) compared to EVD for the management of adult patients with spontaneous IVH.

Results
A total of 48 patients were enrolled in this study. Twenty patients underwent EVD and 28 had VSGS. Postoperative complications were non-significantly more prevalent in the EVD than in the VSGS group (75 vs. 64.3%, p = 0.430), including non-CR (20 vs. 32.1%), infection (20 vs. 7.1%), blocked ventricular catheter (15 vs. 3.6%), and dislodged catheter (10 vs. 7.1%). Convulsions and CSF leaks occurred more frequently in the VSGS group (7.1 vs 5%, p = 1.000). Postoperative GCS and Graeb’s score were comparable between the groups (p > 0.05). The EVD group had a non-significantly higher rate of hydrocephalus after ventricular catheter removal (80 vs. 53.6%, p = 0.059) and a higher mean GOS 3 months postoperatively (mean score: 4 vs. 3).

Conclusions
VSGS is as effective and safe compared to EVD, with a lower rate of infection, blocked/dislodged catheters, as well as a reduced incidence of hydrocephalus. On the other hand, EVD showed better GOS at 3 months. However, these differences did not reach statistical significance.

Authors: Alloush Taha K. , Alloush Adel T. , Marzouk Fayez , Abdulghani Khaled O. , Shokri Hossam M. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Background
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a pandemic disease which predominantly affects the respiratory system with high critical care mortality and morbidity, yet it also causes multiple organs dysfunction in affected patients. There is a strong evidence that it increases the susceptibility of cerebrovascular strokes in such patients. Besides this prothrombotic complication, arterial dissection can be one of its mechanisms increasing the risks of stroke.

Case presentation
Herein, we report a case of spontaneous isolated subclavian artery dissection in a COVID-19 patient. Sixty-one-year-old female presented with spontaneous isolated subclavian artery dissection without any traumatic events nor history of connective tissue disorders. She had left upper limb ischemia followed by cerebellar, thalamic and occipital infarctions. Whether this patient’s subclavian artery dissection was triggered by exaggerated inflammatory response or arteriopathy secondary to COVID-19 remains speculative.

Conclusions
Nonetheless, arterial dissection can be one of its complications, it is essential for treating physicians to be attentive for the diversity of COVID-19 clinical manifestations.

Published: October 2022

Abstract
Background
The unbalanced gut microbiota, poorly ingested enriched fiber foods, leaky gut is connected to the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). The leaky gut translocates uremic toxins to the systemic circulation, promote systemic inflammation, worsen CKD. Decreasing the uremic toxins influx from the gut may decrease the progression of CKD. So, we aimed to evaluate the effect of probiotic and symbiotic supplementation on the leaky gut and their role to prevent CKD progression.

Methods
48 white albino rats were randomly allocated into 6 groups: sham group; CKD rats; probiotic treated and symbiotic treated rats. Treatment started either immediately or 2 weeks after the operation for each treated group. Blood pressure, body weight changes, serum level of urea, creatinine, indoxyl sulphate and CRP were determined. Histological studies of kidney remnants and intestine and renal fibrosis index were calculated. SPSS program was used for statistics.

Results
Serum urea, creatinine, indoxyl sulphate, CRP, fibrosis index and blood pressure significantly increased in CKD rats. Probiotic treatment decreased serum level of urea, creatinine and CRP and fibrosis index. Symbiotic treatment decreased the serum level of urea, creatinine, indoxyl sulphate and CRP compared to CKD rats. Blood pressure and fibrosis index were decreased significantly upon symbiotic treatment.

Conclusions
A strong correlation between the gut microbial ecosystem and CKD has been proved. The use of probiotics and symbiotic to modulate an unhealthy gut microbiome is a promising intervention to delay CKD progression specially in early stages. Symbiotic results were better than probiotic alone.

Published: October 2022

Abstract
Background
The Pelvic Pain and Urgency/Frequency Patient Symptom Scale is a screening tool used to diagnose patients with chronic pelvic pain. Numerous articles demonstrated the efficacy of the Pelvic Pain and Urgency/Frequency Patient Symptom Scale, not only as a screening tool, but additionally for complete assessment and management process. Therefore, in this article we aim to translate the Pelvic Pain and Urgency/Frequency Patient Symptom Scale from English to Arabic and then to validate the translated version using an innovative technique that compares the original English version to a back-translated version.

Results
Using back-translation method, the comparability of the language and similarity of the interpretation for each item of Pelvic Pain and Urgency/Frequency Patient Symptom Scale were validated. The back-translated version showed seemingly dependable results and demonstrates an almost identical meaning to the original English version. There was no difference found statistically in the median or mean scores for all items between the English and Arabic back-translated versions. The multi-staged process we followed thoroughly and the results obtained during this process ensured the validity of the Arabic version of the Pelvic Pain and Urgency/Frequency Patient Symptom Scale.

Conclusions
The current study provides that the Arabic version of Pelvic Pain and Urgency/Frequency Patient Symptom Scale is proven to be a valid tool in the assessment of Arabic-speaking patients with painful bladder syndrome or interstitial cystitis.

Published: October 2022

AbstractCardiovascular diseases are one of the leading global causes of mortality. Currently, clinicians rely on their own analyses or automated analyses of the electrocardiogram (ECG) to obtain a diagnosis. However, both approaches can only include a finite number of predictors and are unable to execute complex analyses. Artificial intelligence (AI) has enabled the introduction of machine and deep learning algorithms to compensate for the existing limitations of current ECG analysis methods, with promising results. However, it should be prudent to recognize that these algorithms also associated with their own unique set of challenges and limitations, such as professional liability, systematic bias, surveillance, cybersecurity, as well as technical and logistical challenges. This review aims to increase familiarity with and awareness of AI algorithms used in ECG diagnosis, and to ultimately inform the interested stakeholders on their potential utility in addressing present clinical challenges.

Published: October 2022

Abstract
Background
An exponential rise in clinical demand for cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) therapy is observed all over the world due to the rapidly expanding lifespan. Accordingly, appropriate lead management including lead extraction is becoming increasingly essential components for the comprehensive care of patients with various CIEDs.

Main body
With a high success rate and a low complication rate, transvenous lead extraction (TLE) has now been established as first-line therapy for lead extraction. However, TLE is often challenging when there are heavily calcified fibrous adhesions between leads and cardiovascular structures. Recently, rotational mechanical dilator (RMD) sheaths were introduced to resolve this issue and facilitate TLE procedure. There are two types of commercially available RMD sheaths, Evolution® systems and TightRail™. Thorough knowledge of the proper use of the RMD devices is essential to increase success rate and to reduce complications of TLE. In the present review, mechanical features, various techniques, and clinical data of RMD sheaths will be described.

Conclusion
According to recent advancement of device technology, the clinical outcomes of TLE using the RMD sheaths are continuously improving. However, as the RMD sheath is a potentially aggressive tool, special care should be taken when used in patients with longer lead ages.

Published: October 2022

AbstractMagnetic particle imaging (MPI) is an emerging molecular imaging technique with high sensitivity and temporal-spatial resolution. Image reconstruction is an important research topic in MPI, which converts an induced voltage signal into the image of superparamagnetic iron oxide particles concentration distribution. MPI reconstruction primarily involves system matrix- and x-space-based methods. In this review, we provide a detailed overview of the research status and future research trends of these two methods. In addition, we review the application of deep learning methods in MPI reconstruction and the current open sources of MPI. Finally, research opinions on MPI reconstruction are presented. We hope this review promotes the use of MPI in clinical applications.
