Cross-Cultural Adaptation and Validation of the Bad Sobernheim Stress Questionnaire in Iranian Adolescents with Idiopathic Scoliosis Using Thoracolumbar Orthoses
Authors: Jafarian Fahimeh-Sadat , Yeowell Gillian , Sadeghi-Demneh Ebrahim 
Published: May 2022

Background:
The assessment of the emotional consequences of having a spinal deformity and orthotic management in people with idiopathic scoliosis is essential. This study was aimed to translate and culturally adapt the Bad Sobernheim Stress questionnaire (BSSQ-Brace) for Iranian adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis using thoracolumbar orthoses.

Materials and Methods:
The BSSQ was translated into Persian according to a standard guideline. The Persian BSSQ-Brace was completed by 55 Iranian subjects with spinal deformities who agreed to participate in this research. The validity was determined by correlating the Persian BSSQ-Brace questionnaire (BrQ) and the revised Scoliosis Research Society-22 patient questionnaire (SRS-22r). To assess test-retest reliability, all participants completed the BSSQ-Brace twice, with a gap of 1-week. Intraclass Correlation Coefficient and Cronbach's alpha were measured to report reliability.

Results:
All population revealed items in the Persian BSSQ-Brace were easily understood, and there was no difficulty completing them. The psychometric properties of the Persian version of BSSQ-Brace demonstrated excellent test-retest reliability (interclass correlation coefficient = 0.94), excellent internal consistency (Chronbach's alpha = 0.94), and high construct validity with SRS-22r (r = 0.74).

Conclusions:
The Persian BSSQ-Brace is a reliable and valid instrument to assess the emotional domains in subjects wearing a spinal orthosis.

Authors: Rajasegar Raajashri , Sugumar Kiruthiga , Chandrasekaran Venkatesh , Gunasekaran Dhandapany , Anantharaj Avinash 
Published: May 2022

Background:
Kawasaki disease (KD) is a medium-vessel vasculitis that commonly affects young children. Many atypical presentations that differ from the classical phenotype have been described.

Clinical Description:
A 3-year-old boy presented with acute onset refusal to walk due to severe pain in both lower limbs for 8 days. This was accompanied by fever for 7 days. Significant findings included diffuse tenderness of bilateral thighs and leg muscles, probable normal joints, and absence of rashes, edema, significant lymphadenopathy, organomegaly, or paralysis. He had a hemoglobin of 10.6 g/dL, neutrophilic leukocytosis, and normal platelet count (384 × 109/L). He was started on intravenous cloxacillin, assuming polymyositis or acute osteomyelitis. Radiographs, ultrasonography, and bone scan of the lower limbs revealed normal bones and joints. However, magnetic resonance imaging detected patchy hyperintensities in multiple muscles, though muscle-specific enzyme levels were normal. The fever and pain persisted and investigations for other differentials (including classical KD) were inconclusive. At the end of 2nd week of illness, atypical KD was suspected, when he developed periungual skin peeling with increasing erythrocyte sedimentation rate and platelet counts.

Management:
The diagnosis was confirmed by echocardiogram proven left main coronary artery dilatation. He was started on intravenous immunoglobulin. Since fever persisted, a second dose was administered, following which defervescence occurred and his symptoms subsided.

Conclusions:
Atypical KD should be considered in a fever of unknown origin when diagnostic criteria of classical KD are not satisfied. Polymyositis and panniculitis are uncommon atypical manifestations.
Partial DiGeorge Syndrome with Hypertrophied Arytenoids in a Neonate
Authors: Madabhushi Siddharth , Saravanamuthu Thirunavukkarasu , Natarajan Chandra Kumar , Kumar Vaanathi Hementha 
Published: May 2022

Background:
DiGeorge Syndrome (DGS) is caused by the 22q11 deletion. There is wide variation in the phenotypic presentation due to incomplete penetrance. Since dysmorphism is subtle in neonates, a high index of suspicion should be kept.

Clinical Description:
A 2.8 kg term baby girl born of a cesarean section developed stridor and respiratory distress and was referred to our hospital at 14 days for the persistence of symptoms. The manifestations were severe, requiring respiratory support, and not explainable by clinical findings, radiological atelectasis, and normal echocardiography. The baby had hypocalcemia (that had been noted and treated earlier), hypoparathyroidism and Vitamin D deficiency, for which standard therapy was started. Airway endoscopy revealed hypertrophied arytenoids which have not been reported in DGS before.

Management:
The presence of abnormal laryngeal with hypocalcemia prompted us to consider DGS. The likelihood became stronger when a chest ultrasonogram detected athymia. The identification of 22q microdeletion by fluorescence in situ hybridization confirmed the diagnosis. It was decided to perform supraglottoplasty to avoid the postoperative complications associated with direct vocal cord repair. The postoperative period was uneventful. The immunological profile was normal, besides a low count of normal CD4+ naïve cells. The final diagnosis was partial DGS.

Conclusion:
Genetic testing for 22q11 deletion should be done in the presence of laryngeal pathology and any of the following: congenital cardiopathy, velopharyngeal insufficiency, thymic hypoplasia, and neonatal hypocalcemia.

Authors: Dotivala Fernaz , Edwards Namrata , Khuje Priyanka , Lobo Leera , Marathe Ashwini , Srinivasan Roopa 
Published: May 2022

Background:
India has the dual challenge of a high prevalence of developmental delay and disabilities in early childhood and a paradoxical underutilization of available intervention services due to limited accessibility and acceptability by their families. Early Childhood Development (ECD) services delivered by community health workers (CHWs) ensure its last-mile delivery to every household. IIts acceptability is improved by including evidence-based, culturally, and contextually sensitive approaches as is done in the International Guide for Monitoring Child Development (IGMCD). The IGMCD is a tool that monitors and supports the development of children under 3 years of age and also enables provision of early intervention services when required. The IGMCD, recognizes caregiver strengths and priorities and helps to build a rapport between caregivers and providers.

Clinical Description:
We describe six children and their families from Velugam, Dadra-Nagar Haveli district, who received ECD services from CHWs who used the IGMCD package. These cases highlight how the CHWs used the IGMCD package to identify developmental delays, health and psychosocial risk factors to development and provide strategies to caregivers to support their children's development.

Management:
The CHW used individualized strategies to promote responsive caregiving and enhance opportunities for early learning. In addition, the IGMCD package reinforces health, nutrition, and ECD-directed messages that are provided at the Anganwadi centers.

Conclusion:
Children and families in underserved communities can receive comprehensive ECD services through CHWs who are trained to deliver the IGMCD.
Alteration of neurocognitive and functional status related to post-COVID infections
Authors: Halder Susmita , Mahato Akash Kumar , Samajdar Shinjini 
Published: May 2022

Background:
The impact of COVID-19 on bodily functions is vivid. Acute respiratory distress in individuals infected with COVID-19 may lead to hypoxemia and oxygen deprivation, causing functional difficulties in brain's functioning. Studies on alterations in cognitive functioning of COVID-infected patients are less reported. The present study explored cognitive functions and functional status of COVID-infected individuals post recovery and differences, if any, corresponding to COVID infection severity.

Methods:
A total of 32 individuals of both sexes infected with COVID-19 were recruited 3 months post recovery to assess their cognitive functions and functional status across physical, psychological, social, and role function domains. The sample was further divided into two as per the infection severity and compared over differences in cognitive deficits and functional status. To understand the long-term impact, a qualitative interview was taken after 6 months from a total of ten individuals from the primary sample of moderate-to-severe group.

Results:
COVID-infected individuals as a whole did not show significant cognitive impairment on Mini–Mental Status Examination. However, the subgroups differed significantly in domains of recent memory and physical, psychological, and role functions. At six-month follow-up, select participants in qualitative interview reported to have deficits in cognitive and psychological domains.

Conclusion:
There might be subtle changes in the cognitive functions of COVID-19 patients. The changes might be transient in nature and appear not significant. However, within-group differences in recent memory function and functional status in relation to infection severity stress the need of further exploration of the domain with a larger sample in longitudinal perspective.

Authors: Banerjee Indrajeet , Ali Arif , Deuri Sonia , Swain Mamata Rani , Mahanta Pomi 
Published: May 2022

Background:
Body image refers to how an individual perceives and it affects individual feelings about his or her body weight and shape. Usually, in general, populations have a notion that the gym users were more concerned about their physical appearance and dissatisfied with their weight, and also it is associated with self-esteem.

Aims:
The present study aimed to find out the difference in body image satisfaction and self-esteem among adult gym users and nongym users.

Methodology:
This was a cross-sectional study. The sample consisted of 30 adult gym users and 30 adult nongym users. Adult gym users were selected purposively from the Center for Rehabilitation Sciences (wellness center), LGBRIMH, and the nongym users were from the LGBRIMH campus. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect the sociodemographic profile of the respondent, the Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ) was used to measure the concerns related to one's body image and a Self-Esteem Scale was used to assess the self-esteem.

Results:
BSQ score was higher for the nongym users, indicating a higher level of dissatisfaction with body image (M = 68.80, standard deviation [SD] = 33.94) as compared to gym users (M = 59.133, SD = 25.477), self-esteem was high among gym users (M = 0.21.333, SD = 5.254) as compared to nonusers (M = 16.90, SD = 5.695). Statistically no significant difference was found between the groups in BSQ and self-esteem.

Conclusion:
This study's findings revealed that the nongym users were scored higher in BSQ which indicated a higher level of dissatisfaction with body image and low self-esteem, whereas the gym user's score indicated a higher level of satisfaction with body image and a higher level of self-esteem. Although statistically no significant difference was found between the groups in BSQ and self-esteem. Appropriate psychosocial intervention can be provided to address body image dissatisfaction and other factors associated with it among the general population.

Authors: Shilpa K. S. , Suman L. N. 
Published: May 2022

Introduction:
Among all kinds of violence that is experienced by women, Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) has been found to be the most common type. This can take the form of physical, sexual, financial, and emotional violence.

Aim:
The aim of the study was to examine the histories of IPV among women in short-stay shelter homes.

Materials and Methods:
The sample consisted of 30 married women from three shelter homes in Bengaluru (mean age = 32.43 years). A socio-demographic data sheet (SDS), a semi-structured interview schedule and three visual analog scales (VAS) were used to obtain data related to IPV. Descriptive statistics was used to analyze data obtained on the SDS and VAS. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the qualitative data obtained.

Results:
Results indicated that 96.70% of the women experienced a combination of emotional and physical violence from their spouses. Financial violence was reported by 70% and sexual violence by 36.60%. On the VASs, the severity of IPV was rated as 8.5, perceived danger from the spouse was rated as 7.5, and perceived social support was rated as 3.9.

Conclusions:
Results revealed a high prevalence of IPV, severe degree of IPV, and the women perceived significant danger from their spouses and poor social support from significant others. This indicates the need for adequate psychosocial intervention to address IPV and its consequences.

Published: May 2022

The Mosquito Alert dataset includes occurrence records of adult mosquitoes collected worldwide in 2014–2020 through Mosquito Alert, a citizen science system for investigating and managing disease-carrying mosquitoes. Records are linked to citizen science-submitted photographs and validated by entomologists to determine the presence of five targeted European mosquito vectors: Aedes albopictus, Ae. aegypti, Ae. japonicus, Ae. koreicus, and Culex pipiens. Most records are from Spain, reflecting Spanish national and regional funding, but since autumn 2020 substantial records from other European countries are included, thanks to volunteer entomologists coordinated by the AIM-COST Action, and to technological developments to increase scalability. Among other applications, the Mosquito Alert dataset will help develop citizen science-based early warning systems for mosquito-borne disease risk. It can also be reused for modelling vector exposure risk, or to train machine-learning detection and classification routines on the linked images, to assist with data validation and establishing automated alert systems.

Authors: ÖZSOYLU Hacer Merve , TURANLI Münevver 
Published: May 2022

Amaç: Bu araştırma, eğitim sistemi ve gayri safi milli hasıla üzerinden eğitime yapılan harcamaların, orta ve üst düzey kadın yönetici istihdamı üzerinde etkisi olup olmadığını açıklamak amacıyla yapılmıştır.
Yöntem: Çalışma nicel bir araştırma olarak tasarlanmış olup bir ülkenin zorunlu eğitim süresi, eğitime yaptığı harcama ve okullaşma oranı kullanılarak, orta ve üst düzey kadın yönetici istihdamı üzerindeki etkisini belirlemek amacıyla, SPSS İstatistik programının 24. versiyonu kullanılarak, çoklu doğrusal regresyon analizi yapılmıştır.
Bulgular: Yapılan testlerle çoklu doğrusal regresyon analizinin tüm varsayımları sağlanmış ve anlamlı bir model ortaya konulmuştur. Gayri safi milli hasıladan eğitime yapılan harcama oranı ile okula gitmeyen öğrenci oranının, kadın yönetici istihdamı üzerinde anlamı bir etkiye sahip olduğu; zorunlu eğitim süresinin ise tek başına kadın yönetici istihdamında anlamlı etkiye sahip olmadığı görülmüştür. Ancak bu değişken, modelden çıkarıldığında bağımsız değişkenlerin bağımlı değişkeni açıklama oranları ile karşılaştırma oranlarında düşüş gözlemlenmiştir.
Özgünlük: Literatür incelendiğinde eğitim ve eğitim harcamaları ile istihdam konusu üzerinde sıklıkla çalışmalar yapıldığı görülmüş, ancak bu unsurların kadın yönetici istihdamıyla ele alındığı bir çalışmaya rastlanmamıştır. Bu nedenle, araştırma bulgularının özellikle kadın istihdamı konusuna anlamlı bir katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.

Published: May 2022

An assessment of resources and qualitative composition of raw materials of Slavnoye and Esmonovsky Mokh peat deposits, reserved by the state for bio-thermochemical processing, has been made. On the basis of a complex of studies of organo-mineral, group and botanical compositions, technological characteristics and peat reserves, the possible directions of the complex use of raw materials are substantiated. A nomenclature list of products recommended for production has been developed.
Based on consideration of such indicators as science intensity and high added value, consumer demand and the quality of the raw materials available at the deposit, types of commercial products that can be obtained from the specified raw materials have been determined, its approximate volumes and volumes of received products, as well as approximate price indicators of these products. It is shown that the more preferable is to obtain different directions of sorbents use, then biohumate preparations for both studied deposits in relation to the fuel direction (peat briquettes, milled peat).
