HOW EFFECTIVELY DOES NOMOPHOBIA WORK ON STUDENTS?
Authors: REHMAN WALI , SINGH AJIT PAL 
Published: September 2022

Nomophobia is a term where ‘Nomo’ means no mobile and ‘phobia’ means fear. Though anyone can suffer from nomophobia. However, this disorder tends to affect adolescents the most, with the 14-16 age group being the most prevalent. Term nomophobia has incurred student's life and their obsession with a mobile phone has reached the point where they feel like they can’t survive without phones. As we are well aware of the fact that addiction to anything can harm human nature, nomophobia is an exact example of it. It’s one of the most dangerous distractions in a student’s life. Nomophobia has been the reason for several death cases: losing their data, game addiction death, social anxiety, short-term memory loss, losing the ability to learn things easily and many more. The major issue is that people don’t realize that they are suffering from it because they’ve become habitual of it & the stage they’re at also matters. The sign and symptoms of this disease are so normal that one can’t easily recognize them, for example, anxiety, obsession, social anxiety, arrhythmia, headache, respiratory problem, socially incompatible etc. that’s why the diagnosis process of nomophobia is easy because of the student’s majority time expenditure in a virtual world rather than the real world.

Published: September 2022

Epilepsy is found to be very common neurological disorder; it covers a wide range of abnormalities lying within brain. Generation of electrical activity of brain that is action potential and then its proper propagation in central nervous system (CNS) and Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) upto the target site is mandatory for the proper functioning of brain. The human sodium channel (SCN) family plays its critical role in all these neuronal mechanisms. These channels are prone to number of channelopatheis and mutations that are the key point of research and discussion now a day. About 700 mutations of SCN1A gene have been identified. This gene is considered as the commonly mutated gene in human epilepsy. This review is on the structural, functional and pathological aspects of SCN1A gene and its associated channelopathies. This will explore the advances in epilepsy genetics and may help in designing for new therapeutic modalities for treating epileptic patients.

Published: September 2022

Context.—
Plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL) is a rare aggressive lymphoma, usually positive for CD138 and frequently occurring in the oral cavity of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) patients. Up to 10% of cases are negative for CD138 and diagnostically very challenging.

Objective.—
To investigate the appropriate approach to diagnose CD138− plasmablastic lymphoma and avoid misdiagnosis.

Design.—
We studied 21 cases of CD138− PBL from multiple large institutes in the United States and 21 cases from the literature.

Results.—
CD138− PBLs were positive for different B/plasma cell markers at various percentages: MUM1 (94.4%; 34 of 36), OCT2 (70.6%; 12 of 17), immunoglobulin light chains (68.8%; 22 of 32), CD38 (68.4%; 13 of 19), CD79a (34.2%; 13 of 38), and PAX5 (15.6%; 5 of 32), suggesting that MUM1, OCT2, immunoglobulin light chains, and CD38 are useful markers to help establish the lineage. A total of 83% of cases (30 of 36) were extraoral lesions. Extraoral lesions showed much lower Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection rates (16 of 30; 53.3%) and had worse prognosis. MYC was positive in 80% (8 of 10) of EBV+ cases and 40% (2 of 5) EBV− cases, indicating the importance of MYC in pathogenesis, especially in EBV+ cases.

Conclusions.—
Our study emphasizes that CD138− PBLs tend to be extraoral lesions, with much lower EBV infection rates, and diagnostically very challenging. Accurate diagnosis requires a thorough investigation and workup by using appropriate markers.

Published: September 2022

Context.—
Nucleophosmin 1 (NPM1) mutations affect 20% to 30% of all acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients; several methods are employed to analyze NPM1 mutations, each of them with its advantages and limitations.

Objective.—
To compare 3 nonsequencing protocols capable of detecting the main NPM1 mutations and to evaluate nuclear morphometric analysis (NMA) as an alternative to cuplike blast detection.

Design.—
We selected multiparameter flow cytometry (MFC), amplification refractory mutation system–polymerase chain reaction (ARMS-PCR), and a quantitative PCR (qPCR) kit to identify NPM1 mutations in AML patients at diagnosis. We also evaluated the presence of cuplike blasts and assessed nuclear morphometry using NMA.

Results.—
MFC appears as a screening method for NPM1 mutations because of its lower specificity. ARMS-PCR demonstrated specificity similar to that of the qPCR kit, although it was more laborious. qPCR testing, conversely, is relatively fast and easy to standardize. Of these methods, qPCR was the only one capable of identifying the type of NPM1 mutation. With regard to morphology, NMA could be used as an alternative for the evaluation of cuplike blasts in AML smears.

Conclusions.—
qPCR appears to be the best option to identify NPM1 mutations, with ARMS-PCR representing a cheaper alternative. MFC may be used as a screening method, in which results falling within and above the gray zone should be confirmed by molecular testing.

Published: September 2022

OBJECTIVE
Pediatric oncology patients endure treatments that may include chemotherapy, surgery, radiation, and transplant. These treatment modalities often have an effect on a patient's mental health. To date, little is known or published about the association between certain cancer treatment regimens and the use of psychotropic medications. The goal of this study is to identify associations between the use of psychotropic medications in pediatric oncology patients in relation to the intensity of their oncologic treatment regimen.

METHODS
A retrospective chart review was completed for pediatric oncology patients seen between the years of 2009 and 2019 with prescriptions and/or inpatient orders for specific psychotropic medications. The intensity of the oncologic regimen was categorized using the Intensity of Treatment Rating Scale (ITR-3) tool. Association between the intensity of therapy and use of psychotropic medications were compared using Pearson χ2 and Fisher exact tests as appropriate.

RESULTS
There were 172 patients identified as having inpatient and/or outpatient orders for psychotropic medications during the study period. Ninety-one pediatric oncology patients were included in data analysis. It was found that psychotropic medications were used consistently in pediatric oncology patients despite a specific ITR-3 score. There were no statistically significant associations found when comparing ITR-3 scores to psychotropic medication use or to age at diagnosis.

CONCLUSIONS
Significance was not obtained in this study; however, we found that psychotropic medications were used across the spectrum of diagnoses, age, and oncologic treatment intensity. This suggests that all pediatric oncology patients should be evaluated for psychiatric needs throughout their course of oncologic treatment.

Published: September 2022

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND
It is recommended that patients taking immunosuppressive anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) receive pneumococcal vaccinations before their first dose to ensure optimal immune response. An initial medication use evaluation reviewed adherence to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) pneumococcal immunization recommendations at the study site, and room for improvement was identified. The nursing team implemented workflow changes to increase nursing involvement in vaccination coordination, education, tracking, and administration. We sought to evaluate the impact of a nursing intervention on optimal pneumococcal vaccination administration rates in patients receiving anti-CD20 mAbs at a multiple sclerosis (MS) center.

METHODS
We performed a single-center, retrospective, pre/post medication use evaluation. Inclusion criteria were older than 18 years with a diagnosis of MS and received their first anti-CD20 mAb infusion at the study site during the preintervention or postintervention time frame.

RESULTS
We included 406 and 73 patients in the preintervention and postintervention studies, respectively. The nursing intervention significantly improved the percentage of patients receiving optimal pneumococcal vaccination before their first infusion from 58% to 84% and significantly reduced the number with unknown vaccination status from 17% to 3%. Patients who received optimal follow-up vaccination with 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine after optimal 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine administration improved from 9% to 56%.

CONCLUSIONS
A nursing team intervention improved adherence to CDC pneumococcal immunization recommendations for patients receiving anti-CD20 mAb therapy. This project highlights the value of interdisciplinary team collaboration between health system specialty pharmacies and specialized nursing teams in the care of patients with MS.

Participation and involvement of parents and caregivers in community child wellbeing activities influences the achievement and cognitive development of children, youth, and even young adults (Melhuish et al., 2008; Sylva et al., 1999) [1]. The purpose of this paper is to assess the impact of poverty in parents and caregivers’ participation towards community child well-being activities among the pastoral communities of Baringo, Marsabit, Turkana and West Pokot Counties in Kenya. It uses the Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) and Poverty Probability Index (PPI) for classification of households as either rich or poor. Households with MPI score ≥ 0.33 or PPI ≥0.5 were classified as poor, otherwise rich. The data for this study were taken from both primary and secondary sources.
The study results showed that overall, nine in ten of the sampled households were poor while one in ten were rich. Among the households classified as rich, six in ten (62.7%) compared to five in ten (53.8%) of those classified as poor participated in child wellbeing activities.
Based on the study findings and Pearson Chi-Square test results, the study concluded that there was a significant relationship between poverty and participation of caregivers in community child wellbeing activities. The relationship reflected that caregivers from poor households had a higher risk of not participating in child wellbeing activities than those from rich households. The study recommended the need for accelerating interventions aimed at poverty alleviation. Such interventions may include but not limited to: increasing access to education, supporting poor households through cash transfer programmes, adoption of disaster risk reduction strategies in pastoral economies and women economic empowerment.

Published: September 2022

Aim: To report a rare fusion of the 6th and 7th cervical vertebra in a cadaver specimen.
Presentation of Case: A fused C6-C7 vertebra was discovered during maceration in the Anatomy laboratory in a South-Eastern Nigerian University. The laminas were completely fused while their bodies, transverse processes and spinous processes were fused partially.
Discussion: Block vertebra is the fusion of one or more adjoining vertebrae in which they act as one, both structurally and functionally. These fusions, although present in other regions, is more common in the cervical region. Among the reported cases, there is a higher incidence of fusion between C2-C3 with only few reported cases of fusion between C6-C7. Fused cervical vertebra impact biochemical and mechanical stress on the adjoining vertebra which results in various neurological and physical problems, hence the report could create an insight that could aid researchers and medical diagnoses.
Conclusion: This unusual fusion of C6-C7 vertebra reported provides basis of anatomical variations in which proper documentation of incidence and knowledge will be beneficial to anatomists, orthopaedic surgeons, radiologists and other medical personnel.

Introduction: Misfiling remains a substantial challenge in data management in various institutions of higher learning. It has been asserted that one in every ten documents or files stored becomes immediately lost forever, due to inadequate filing techniques and practices. The results of this canker primarily are a high-profile failure in accountability and a retrogression in the development of the institution. There is paucity in scales developed for measuring misfiling. This study developed a scale called the data misfiling assessment scale (DMAS) to measure the various factors responsible for misfiling in institutions of higher learning and assessed them in terms of other relevant variables.
Methodology: A questionnaire was designed and administered in a cross-sectional study conducted among all administrative assistants who were tasked with the utmost responsibility for filing in the offices of the University of Health and Allied Sciences (UHAS), Ho in the Volta Region of Ghana. The various components of the causes of the misfiling scale were found using factor analysis and were confirmed with confirmatory factor analysis.
Results: The study revealed a highly reliable scale (Cronbach’s alpha of 0.85) of thirteen misfiling items sub-classified into four factors of misfiling namely; internal factors of misfiling, misfiling due to methods and tools, external factors of misfiling, and other factors of misfiling, with Cronbach’s alpha of 0.85, 0.77, 0.62, and 0.60, respectively. The four-factor structure of the DMAS was confirmed with CFA. A strong positive relationship was observed between internal and external factors of misfiling (p-value = 0.015) and between internal and other factors of misfiling (p-value = 0.032). External factors of misfiling also strongly correlated positively with other factors of misfiling (p-value = 0.025). Per the scale, participants who have file references in their offices were less likely to face other factors of misfiling (p-value = 0.008). Also, those working in offices with filing policies were less likely to experience internal and external factors of misfiling.
Conclusion: With the help of this scale, factors responsible for misfiling and by extension, challenges with data management can be investigated and appropriate actions are taken for accurate data management in institutions of higher learning.

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the proximate composition of Spirulina platensis and growth performance in supernatant of different concentrations (supernatant of 20, 40 and 60 rotten guavas) of digested rotten guava medium (DRGM). The growth rates in terms of optical density, dry cell weight and chlorophyll a of spirulina were varied from each other. The cell weight of Spirulina was attained a maximum of 0.818 ± 0.003 mg/L in 60% DRGM followed by 0.815 ± 0.0015 and 0.809± 0.0012 mg/L in supernatant of 20 and 40%, respectively on the 10th day of culture. Similar trend was also observed in the case of optical density of the media contained Spirulina, chlorophyll a content (mg/L), total biomass (mg/L), specific growth rates (on the basis of cell weight and chlorophyll a) and total biomass of Spirulina. Cell weight of Spirulina grown in these media had highly significant (P < 0.01) correlation with the chlorophyll a content (r = 0.746) and total biomass (r = 0.742) of Spirulina. The growth performance of Spirulina in supernatant of 60% DRGM was significantly (P < 0.01) higher than that of grown in 20% and 40% DRGM. The percentage of crude protein was found 53.35 ± 0.32% in supernatant of 40% DRGM. The crude lipid was attained of 10.15 ± 0.14% in supernatant of 60% DRGM which was significantly (P < 0.05) higher than that of grown in 20% and 40% of DGRM.
