Published: June 2022

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the quality control (QC) tests results of general radiography x-ray equipment in order to assess the performance of the x-ray equipment in comparison to the acceptance limits, hence advise on measures to provide quality diagnostic imaging at optimized dose. QC tests results from health facilities in Mtwara and Lindi regions were evaluated. The QC results from 2015 to 2021 were analyzed for selected QC parameters which included kV accuracy, kV reproducibility, mAs linearity, beam quality, collimation and beam alignment. All x-ray units passed the kV accuracy, kV reproducibility, and beam quality and beam alignment tests. It was noticed that the collimation test surfaced among the failed parameters, though the performance of all the tested parameters were within 76.9 %. to 100% of the acceptable limits. Furthermore, lack of QC and maintenance plan was noted. Generally, the performance of most of the x-ray units were in compliance with regulatory requirements. However, improvement is desirable especially in the areas of QC plan, preventive maintenance and repair. Managers of the facilities need to take heed that optimum equipment performance is vital if quality imaging at optimized radiation dose is to be realized.

OBJECTIVE
Late preterm infants have an increased risk of morbidity relative to term infants. We sought to determine the rate, temporal trend, risk factors, and reasons for 30-day readmission.

METHODS
This is a retrospective cohort study of infants born at 34 to 42 weeks’ gestation in California between January 1, 2011, and December 31, 2017. Birth certificates maintained by California Vital Statistics were linked to discharge records maintained by the California Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify risk factors and derive a predictive model.

RESULTS
Late preterm infants represented 4.3% (n = 122 014) of the study cohort (n = 2 824 963), of which 5.9% (n = 7243) were readmitted within 30 days. Compared to term infants, late preterm infants had greater odds of readmission (odds ratio [OR]: 2.34 [95% confidence interval (CI): 2.28–2.40]). The temporal trend indicated increases in all-cause and jaundice-specific readmission infants (P &lt; .001). The common diagnoses at readmission were jaundice (58.9%), infections (10.8%), and respiratory complications (3.5%). In the adjusted model, factors that were associated with greater odds of readmission included assisted vaginal birth, maternal age ≥34 years, diabetes, chorioamnionitis, and primiparity. The model had predictive ability of 60% (c-statistic 0.603 [95% CI: 0.596–0.610]) in late preterm infants who had &lt;5 days length of stay at birth.

CONCLUSION
The findings contribute important information on what factors increase or decrease the risk of readmission. Longitudinal studies are needed to examine promising hospital predischarge and follow-up care practices.

Authors: JURCO Eugen Claudiu , ONACIU Grigore , CUIBUS Alex , CUIBUS Lucian , POP Doru 
Published: June 2022

Since 1989 water buffalo numbers in Romania have dropped significantly because of multiple factors. In 1989, records showed a population of approximate 210.000, while today just 14 000 buffalo remain. In the past, buffalo played an essential role in the economy of many peasant homesteads. Contemporary buffalo farms have not evolved much regarding size, most farms exploit an average of 1.6 head, extremely low, as data from the Association of buffalo breeders in Transylvania show. Too little research is done. The actual milk yields and reproductive traits need to be analysed, as improvement is needed. This present study aims to showcase the dramatically reduced population and farm size and milk yields. Data was obtained from the Association, regarding buffalo registered for control. The information was analysed and conclusions derived. Most facilities have been indicated as homesteads with very few animals. 126 units have been grouped in farm sizes of 1-2, 3-4 and over 5 animals. Production data have higher values in units with over 5 buffalo. It is shown that extra support is needed for conserving, and expanding the numbers of buffalo reared. Production levels are low, need for improvement and genetic research is high.

Published: June 2022

Lupine is a legume and important hidden food allergen. In the present study, our aim was to investigate the presence of lupine in some foodstuffs including 90 packaged food samples (breakfast cereals, oatmeals, biscuits, and chocolate) belonging to different firms in Turkey. Extraction and determination of lupine in all samples were made by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique. The presence of lupine was detected in 11 (12.22%) of 90 food samples. Lupine was not detected in the samples of breakfast cereal and oatmeal. The mean levels (±S.E) of positive lupine of biscuits and chocolate samples were found to be 1.53±0.18 mg kg-1 and 2.04±0.16 mg kg-1, respectively. It was declared on the labels of some of the analyzed products that they may contain traces of lupine. Lupine was detected in only one of these samples. There was no information about the presence of lupine on the labels of other lupine detected samples. As a result, the importance of the detection of allergen substances in terms of food safety, food quality, and public health and the importance of food labeling are emphasized in this study. Analytical methods for monitoring allergens in risky foods are important.
Constitutional restoration in hybrid regimes: The case of Hungary and beyond
Authors: Pap András László 
Published: June 2022

The essay provides an overview of a debate that has been taking place primarily on the columns of a blog symposium on the prestigious constitutional law blog Verfassungsblog on constitutional restoration in Hungary. Given that Hungary is the poster child for hybrid, illiberal regimes, the discussion transcends Hungary and gives insightful additions to the illiberalism literature, targeting an audience beyond legal scholars. The starting point of the debate pertains to the classic dilemma of legal positivism vs. natural law, and in particular whether constitutional rules of dubious democratic nature can be replaced in violation of legality, for example in an extra-parliamentary democratic process. ‘Hybrid regimes’, or ‘elective autocracies’ and the phenomenon on of ‘abusive constitutionalism’ provide the framework and specific context of the constitutional restoration debate, as it is placed in regimes institutionalize ‘hegemonic preservation’, ‘authoritarian enclaves’ and ‘bionic appointments’ hijacking the vocabulary and imagination of constitutional democracy and entrenching legal provisions which remain beyond the reach of constitutional politics. The first part provides an assessment of the Hungarian institutional and political scene. The second part first distinguishes between three dimensions of the constitutional restoration-debate: theoretical, political and procedural, and subsequently discusses two focal points of the symposium: the role of constitutions in illiberal regimes and in constitutional resurrection, and the role of international and EU law as a tool for a legal revolution.
Retrospective review of opioid use in pediatric patients with chronic pain
Authors: Griffith-Linsley Jackson , Williams Amy E. , Tolley James A. , Raskin Jeffrey S. 
Published: June 2022

Background and Hypothesis: Demographics and treatment of adult patients with chronic pain have been well characterized. The same has not been done in pediatric patients who are at increased risk of the consequences of opioid use including risk of addiction, truancy, and unemployment. We hypothesize that opioid use in pediatric patients with chronic pain leads to worse functional outcomes due to pain and maladaptive behaviors.

Methods: From 2016-2019, 300 new patient consultations to the Riley comprehensive pain clinic were identified. A subpopulation interim analysis of 71 patients was retrospectively evaluated at 6-month intervals for medical, social, pain-related, and questionnaire data. Data was recorded in REDCap by a single researcher. Exported data was analyzed using Microsoft Excel.

Results: Seventy-one patients were evaluated and 80% were female. Median age at diagnosis was 14 years (range birth to 18) with average follow-up of 20.5 months. Etiologies varied but contributed to neuropathic (49%), nociceptive (35%), and mixed (11%) pain syndromes. Comorbid psychiatric disorders and sleeping difficulties were present in 69% and 58%, respectively. Sixty-seven percent of age-appropriate patients graduated high school and were in college or employed on final follow-up. Patients managed with opioids did not report a change in visual analog or catastrophizing scales.

Conclusion and Potential Impact: The primary demographic of pediatric chronic pain patients is adolescent females. Neuropathic pain syndromes are common, with a majority of patients exhibiting comorbid psychiatric disorders and dysfunctional sleep patterns. Use of opioid medications did not change reported pain scores, and one-third of these chronic pain patients did not attend college or were unemployed. Further analysis of our data set should help better understand the outcomes of pediatric patients with chronic pain.

Aim To evaluate clinical practice of primary care physicians with respect of preventing behavioral risk factors in patients as well as objective and subjective factors that influence their motivation for taking preventive measures. Material and methods This study was a cross-sectional survey. The questionnaire was anonymous and included closed questions and multiple-choice questions. Based on the obtained results, prevalence of modifiable risk factors for chronic noninfectious diseases (CNID) was comprehensively evaluated in the survey population. Also, a special quantitative variable was introduced, the Index of Behavioral Risk Factors. that reflected the burden of risk factors. This composite index included the degree of risk factor in a specific respondent, for example, obesity degree, number of cigarettes smoked per day, severity of hypodynamia. Physicians’ knowledge and beliefs about the effect of physical activity (PA) on certain diseases were evaluated. Result 623 physicians (mean age 40 years (31-52), 85.5 % women) participated in the survey. The respondents included general practitioners (7.5%), cardiologists (2.9 %), preventive care physicians (4.8 %), internists (25.4 %), and other specialists (59.4 %). 70.8 % of respondents never smoked, 17.5 % were current smokers. 38.5% (240) of the surveyed had a normal body weight index (BWI); 41.7 % (260) were overweight; 11.6 % (72) had degree 1 obesity; 3.7 % (23) had degree 2 obesity; and 0.8 % had degree 3 obesity. A very low PA level was noticed; most of the surveyed exercised not more than once a week (median, 1 (0-3) time). More than 90 % had behavioral risk factors, low PA and excessive body weight. The physicians with a higher index of behavioral risk factors 50% less frequently checked the body weight of patients (odds ratio (OR), 0.541; 95 % confidence interval (CI): 0.388–0.753, p<0.05); 33% less frequently asked whether the patient smoked (OR, 0.675; 95 % CI: 0.465–0.978, p=0.037); 50% less frequently asked the patients about his/her level of PA (OR, 0.482; 95 % CI: 0.343–0.678, p<0.001); and 60% less frequently recommended increasing the PA (OR, 0.408; 95 % CI: 0.292–0.570, p<0.001).Conclusion Most of the surveyed were aware of the benefits of PA for prevention and treatment of CNID, however, they related the mechanism of this effect only with weight loss. The most frequently mentioned barriers to behavioral risk counseling were uncertainty about whether such counseling was within the physician's professional competence, lack of time, lack of confidence in the provision of advice and the effectiveness of interventions, and lack of patients’ compliance.

Aim To evaluate the prevalence of iron deficiency (ID) in Russian patients with heart failure (HF).Material and methods Iron metabolism variables were studied in 498 (198 women, 300 men) patients with HF. Data were evaluated at admission for HF (97 %) or during an outpatient visit (3 %). ID was determined according to the European Society of Cardiology Guidelines.Results 83.1 % of patients had ID; only 43.5 % of patients with ID had anemia. Patients with ID were older: 70.0 [63.0;79.0] vs. 66.0 years [57.0;75.2] (p=0.009). The number of patients with ID increased in parallel with the increase in HF functional class (FC). Among patients with ID, fewer people were past or current alcohol users (p=0.002), and a greater number of patients had atrial fibrillation (60.1 vs. 45.2 %, p=0.016). A multiple logistic regression showed that more severe HF (HF FC) was associated with a higher incidence of ID detection, whereas past alcohol use was associated with less pronounced ID. An increase in N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) by 100 pg/ml was associated with an increased likelihood of ID (odds ratio, 1.006, 95 % confidence interval: 1.002–1.011, p=0.0152).Conclusion The incidence rate of HF patients is high in the Russian Federation (83.1 %). Only 43.5 % of these patients had anemia. The prevalence of ID in the study population increased with increases in HF FC and NT-proBNP.

Authors: Fauziyana Nanda , Hardiany Novi Silvia , Prafiantini Erfi 
Published: June 2022

Background: Insulin resistance is a condition in which insulin cannot take up glucose, increasing blood glucose. Elderly people are more exposed to insulin resistance, requiring dietary interventions that extend longevity. Trehalose, a naturally occurring sugar, showed potentially reduce insulin resistance which can be measured using the HOMA-IR (Homeostatis Model Assessment-Insulin Resistance) index.
Objectives: This study aimed to assess HOMA-IR levels as a parameter of insulin resistance in old rats after giving trehalose sugar.
Methods: Experimental research with 28 male Wistar rats (Rattus novergicus) was separated into 4 groups, the control group of young rats (Group A), the control group of old rats (Group B), a group of old rats that were given 2% Trehalose solution (Group C), and a group of old rats that given 2% sucrose solution (Group D) that observed for 8 weeks.
Results: The results showed differences in HOMA-IR levels (p<0.001) between old and young subjects. The intervention in Group C was optimal in reducing levels of HOMA-IR (p<0.001) by 18.2% compared with the old control, while Group D increased levels of HOMA-IR by 14.3% (p<0.001) compared with the old control. The age of the subjects with HOMA-IR level is positively correlated (p<0.001; r=0.721) and the weight of subjects with the HOMA-IR level is also positively correlated (p<0.001; r=0.698), indicating that the older and the greater weight of subject resulting in the bigger of HOMA-IR value.
Conclusion: Trehalose is effective in reducing HOMA-IR levels as a parameter of insulin resistance in old rats.
Legal and Institutional Aspects of the Financial Sector in Handling the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Husein Yunus , Zikry Ichsan 
Published: June 2022

The Covid-19 pandemic has negatively impacted economic conditions, health, and social activities of the community. This study elaborated on two things. First, the legal aspects of handling the Covid-19 Pandemic. Second, it outlines the aspects of institutions involved in handling the Covid-19 Pandemic. The results of this study show that the legal aspects of the Government in dealing with the Covid-19 Pandemic are through Law No. 2 of 2020. In this regulation, at least two main things are regulated, namely the legal protection of members of the Financial System Stability Committee (KSSK) from lawsuits in exercising their authority and exceeding the deficit limit of 3 percent of GDP, furthermore, regarding institutions involved in handling the Covid-19 Pandemic, it is necessary to strengthen institutions. In this case, the institution in question is included in the KSSK members, because of its large authority in handling the Pandemic, especially for national economic recovery, as well as large state budget allocations. The strengthening efforts that can be done are First, amendments to Law No. 2 of 2020, especially regarding the protection of the KSSK against claims and exemptions from state financial losses. Second, the issuance of a PERPPU on supervision and reporting of financial responsibility for handling the Covid-19 Pandemic. Through these institutional strengthening efforts, it is hoped that the handling of the Pandemic, especially in the context of national economic recovery, can run optimally.
