Impact of COVID-19 on the Noncommunicable Disease Programs Provided in the Primary Health Care Centers in Al-Rusafa Directorate of Health, 2020
Authors: Hlaiwah Mohammed , Lami Faris 
Published: February 2022

Background
In recent years, noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) have globally shown an increasing impact on health status with disproportionately higher rates in developing countries. During the outbreak, health workers, equipment, and facilities have been reallocated to address the influx of patients with COVID-19. Restructuring of the health system could result in the closure of some health facilities.

Objective
The aim of this paper was to determine the impact of COVID-19 on the performance of NCD programs implemented in the primary health care centers in Al-Rusafa DOH through comparing the performance indicators of 2019 and 2020, and to identify the potential causes of the changes.

Methods
The study was conducted in Baghdad, Al-Rusafa, during the period from April to June 2021. A systematic sample was used to enroll 20 primary health care centers. The descriptive analysis focused on frequencies and percentages. Continuous variables are presented as mean (SD), and the independent t test was used to assess statistical significance. A P value of less than .05 is considered statistically significant.

Results
There was a decrease in the number of served patients, even reaching zero in some units. Most staff were partially or completely assigned to the COVID-19 pandemic. There was a decline in yearly need of education material and folders for programs in 2020 and awareness campaigns performed in 2019 and 2020. The main reasons in the decline of these services were the closure of outpatient services as per government directive, the closure of outpatient disease-specific consultation clinics, and the decrease in outpatient volume due to patients not presenting.

Conclusions
The COVID-19 pandemic affected the NCD services in Iraq, including the disruption of many aspects of these services.

BACKGROUND

The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the unexpected influx of patients leading to high rates of hospitalization. Focusing resources to mitigate the pandemic unintentionally reduced attention to health care-associated infections (HAIs) prevention programs. Intensive care units (ICUs) have suffered the most burden due to requirement of ventilation.

OBJECTIVE

In this paper, we aimed to estimate the national HAI rates at ICUs before and during the COVID-19 pandemic to better identify the pandemic’s impact on HAIs.

METHODS

Egypt’s HAI Surveillance was established in 2016 in 177 governmental ICUs. CDC case definitions and questionnaire were used to collect patients’ data. The types of HAIs targeted included bloodstream infections, pneumonia, and urinary tract infections. Pathogen identification and antimicrobial resistance were performed at the central laboratory. Surveillance data 2019-2020 were obtained, and a descriptive data analysis was performed. HAI rates per 100 patient days and device-associated infections (DAIs) per 1000 device days were compared between 2019 and 2020.

RESULTS

In 2020, 4028 HAIs were reported, including 777 (19.3%) ICU-acquired reports; however, in 2019, 6242 were reported, including 1084 (17.4%) ICU-acquired ones. Incidence significantly decreased in 2020 compared with 2019 (2.67 vs 2.72, <i>P</i>&lt;.001). The percentages of bloodstream infections, pneumonia, and urinary tract infection in 2020, compared with 2019, were 64.0% versus 61.6%, 10.9% versus 12.1%, and 25.1% versus 23.8%, respectively. DAIs decreased significantly, including CLABSI (2.6 vs 2.5, <i>P</i>&lt;.001), VAP (0.75 vs 0.87, <i>P</i>=.04), and CAUTI (1.5 vs 1.6, <i>P</i>=.02). <i>Klebsiella spp.</i> was the predominant pathogen in both years representing (35.6% and 38.1%), followed by <i>S. aureus</i> (11.2% and 15.4%). The rate of carbapenem-resistant <i>K. pneumoniae</i> insignificantly increased (25% vs 23%, <i>P</i>=0.3), and that of Methicillin-resistant <i>S. aureus</i> decreased (68% vs 70%, <i>P</i>=0.4).

CONCLUSIONS

Egypt’s HAI Surveillance successfully described the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on HAIs. It identified a significant decrease in ICU-acquired HAIs and DAIs at the first pandemic year, which could reflect better the infection control measures. The types of HAIs, causative pathogens, and antimicrobial resistance pattern did not change significantly. Surveillance should be maintained to guide HAIs’ preventive and control measures.

Kajian terhadap terjadinya perceraian lebih banyak dilihat dari faktor individual dan rumah tangga dan kurang banyak dikaji dari aspek konteks wilayah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis konteks wilayah dengan menganalisis kecenderungan dan sebaran spasial tingkat perceraian di Jawa Timur tahun 2012-2020 dan menganalisis hubungan antara faktor sosial ekonomi wilayah dengan tingkat perceraian di Jawa Timur. Data yang digunakan dalam penelitian adalah data sekunder dari publikasi Badan Pusat Statistik. Analisis kecenderungan dan persebaran tingkat perceraian di Jawa Timur dilakukan secara deskriptif dan menggunakan indeks Hoover. Sementara itu, analisis hubungan antara tingkat perceraian dengan faktor sosial ekonomi wilayah menggunakan uji korelasi Pearson. Penelitian ini menemukan adanya peningkatan tingkat perceraian di Jawa Timur dari tahun 2012-2020 dengan persebaran tingkat perceraian yang tidak merata dan cenderung terkonsentrasi di wilayah tertentu. Hal tersebut tercermin dari semakin meningkatnya indeks Hoover. Faktor konteks wilayah di Jawa Timur yang berhubungan signifikan dengan tingkat perceraian adalah rata-rata lama sekolah dan persentase penduduk miskin. Perceraian memiliki korelasi positif dengan rata-rata lama sekolah dan sementara memiliki korelasi negatif dengan persentase penduduk miskin. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan cara mengurangi tingkat perceraian di Jawa Timur, yaitu tidak hanya dilakukan dengan memperbaiki tingkat pendidikan dan kemakmuran penduduk, tetapi juga memperbaiki kualitas pendidikan dan mendorong dekonsentrasi pendidikan dan kemakmuran.

Evaluation of prolonged immersion in tricaine methanesulfonate for juvenile goldfish (Carassius auratus) euthanasia
Authors: Perret-Thiry Clément , Raulic Juliette , Vergneau-Grosset Claire 
Published: February 2022

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
Doses of buffered tricaine methanesulfonate (MS-222) up to 1000 mg/L for 15 minutes are reported inefficient to produce euthanasia in goldfish. The goal of this study was to determine if goldfish can be euthanized by more prolonged immersion in MS-222.

ANIMALS
24 healthy goldfish (weight range: 1 to 10 g) were randomly assigned to 4 groups of 6 fish.

PROCEDURES
The first group (G1) was exposed to 500 mg/L buffered MS-222 for 15 minutes then placed in freshwater for 3 hours. The second (G2) and third groups (G3) were exposed to 1000 mg/L of buffered MS-222 for 15 minutes then placed in freshwater for 3 hours and 18 hours respectively. The fourth group (G4) was exposed to 1000 mg/L of buffered MS-222 for 60 minutes then placed in freshwater for 3 hours. Time to cessation and return of operculation were recorded. If the goldfish did not resume operculation, heart rate was evaluated by Doppler ultrasonic flow detector.

RESULTS
Median times to apnea were 35 seconds at 1000 mg/L and 65 seconds at 500 mg/L. Re-operculation occurred only in G1 in 5 out of 6 individuals. All fish from G1, 3 fish from G2, 0 fish from G3, 1 fish from G4 had remaining heartbeats at the end of the observation period.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Overall, a dose of 1000 mg/L of buffered MS-222 for 15 minutes was efficient to euthanize juvenile goldfish at 20 °C. Different fish body mass and water quality parameters might explain different results compared to previous studies.

Authors: da Costa Judith C. , Coe Jason B. , Blois Shauna L. , Stone Elizabeth A. 
Published: February 2022

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To establish the components of a best-practice, baseline companion animal physical exam (CAPE).

SAMPLE
25 small animal veterinary internists and 20 small animal primary care veterinarians, all teaching the CAPE at veterinary colleges in the US, Canada, and Australia.

PROCEDURES
Using the Delphi Method of Consensus, 3 rounds of online questionnaires were sent to participants. The first round included demographic questions, questions about teaching the physical exam, and an open-ended question allowing participants to record details of how they conduct a CAPE. In the second round, participants were asked to rate components of the CAPE, which were derived from round 1, as “always examine,” “only examine as needed,” or “undecided.” Following round 2, any component not reaching 90% consensus (set a priori) for the response “always examine” was put forth in round 3, with a summary of comments from the round 2 participants for each remaining component.

RESULTS
35 components of a baseline CAPE were identified from round 1. The 25 components that reached 90% consensus by the end of round 3 were checking the oral cavity, nose, eyes, ears, heart, pulse rate, pulse quality, pulse synchrony, lungs, respiratory rate, lymph nodes, abdomen, weight, body condition score, mucous membranes, capillary refill time, general assessment, masses, haircoat, skin, hydration, penis and testicles or vulva, neck, limbs, and, in cats only, thyroid glands.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
The findings establish an expert panel’s consensus on 25 components of a baseline, best-practice CAPE that can be used to help inform veterinary curricula, future research, and the practice of veterinarians.
Nonlinear strategic human resource management based on organisational mathematical model
Authors: Guo Hao 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
Human resource management organisation's goal must be achieved by regulating employee behaviour through a restraint system. We conduct quantitative research on employee behaviour under organisational constraints, which is an essential means to ensure the organisation's healthy and stable development. The employees themselves adapt to the organisational goals, obey the organisation's constraint system and allocate their resources so that there is less research on optimising their behaviour. This article briefly reviews the research and application of economic theory, organisational behaviour, human resource management and other aspects of optimising employee resource allocation behaviour. The thesis defines organisational resources and divides them into three types. Based on the constraint system, we turn the organisation's control, requirements or incentives on employee behaviour into above or below employee operating constraints; we believe that the constraint system has the characteristics of discrete and hanging river effects, and we have obtained an evaluation. Two algorithms of the organisational constraint system. The article discusses employee resources and behaviours. At the same time, it attempts to construct a quantitative model based on the employee's multi-objective, nonlinear, continuous and discrete constraints, on the allocation of resources and behaviour optimisation and on the employee's adaptation to the organisational constraints. Under the premise of optimisation, several situations in which the model solves the optimal solution are studied. The research found that this article can fill the gaps in employees’ self-adaptation to organisational goals and behaviour optimisation quantitative models.

Published: February 2022

Abstract

Study aim: The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of sleep and awareness on consolidation of general and Sequence-Specific learning in children.

Material and methods: Male participants (n = 48, 10 to 12 years old) were assigned to one of four groups based on awareness and sleep. Acquisition phase took place in the morning (wake groups, 8 ± am) or in the evening (sleep groups, 8 ± pm) followed by a 12 hours retention interval and a subsequent delayed retention test (1 week). Children in the explicit groups were informed about the presence of the sequence, while in the implicit groups were not informed about it. For data analysis in consolidation of general sequence learning and Sequence-Specific Consolidation phases, 2 × 2 × 2 and 2 × 2 × 3 ANOVA with repeated measures on block tests were used respectively.

Results: The data provides evidence of offline enhancement of general motor learning after 12 hours which was dependent on sleep and awareness. Moreover, the information persistence after 1-week was significant only in sleep groups. The results also indicated that consolidation of sequence-specific learning was only observed after 12 hours in element duration and it was related to sleep and awareness.

Conclusions: The results revealed that sleep wasn’t only an essential factor in enhancement of off-line sequence learning task after 12 hours in children, but performance of the children was dependent on awareness and sleep.

Published: February 2022

Abstract
Increasingly, the means of engaging young people in constructive public debate and democratic society has shifted to online digital media platforms. This assumes that participants have the necessary media literacy skills to engage in a meaningful way. We discuss how and to what extent responses in an online blog elicited by two different scenes from the popular youth television series Skam [Shame] demonstrate agonistic deliberation and media literacy in digital dialogue spaces. Our study includes an analysis of the rhetorical characteristics of the dialogues; the mapping of key themes that characterise reactions of blog commentators in the online discussions; and a discussion of the characteristics of – and degree of deliberation in – online comments. We propose that narratives which employ agonistic deliberation around pertinent social themes are most likely to encourage and elicit public engagement that moves beyond emotional outbursts, reflecting a deeper consideration of the themes and topics.

Published: February 2022

Abstract

Introduction
Back pain in adolescents has become an increasingly common cause of presenting oneself for examination at the medical recovery service for diagnosis and appropriate therapeutic conduct, sometimes being the first and only symptom present.

Purpose
We conducted a retrospective study that took into consideration the quantification of the number of adolescents suffering from back pain secondary to idiopathic scoliotic deviation for a 3-year period, and the identification of favoring/determining factors of this pathology, as well as highlighting the importance of the rehabilitation treatment applied to them.

Methods
67 adolescents with back pain secondary to idiopathic scoliosis participated in medical rehabilitation programs of 10 daily sessions, every 6 months in the Medical Rehabilitation Department of the “Louis Țurcanu” Emergency Clinical Hospital for Children in Timișoara for a period of 12 months (from 02.2019 to 01.2020) and daily at home - individualized/adapted exercise programme.

Results
We emphasize the importance of the medical rehabilitation team in the management of back pain secondary to idiopathic scoliosis in adolescents, and the identification and fight against the factors that favor it.

Conclusions
Physical exercise must be performed on the long-term; it must be started as soon as the condition is diagnosed, with periodic evaluations and its periodic adjustment according to results and disease evolution.

Abstract

Purpose
The following research highlighted the importance of the TECAR therapy in recovering after anterior cruciate ligament surgery in performance athletes.

Methods
The study took place at Fizionova Medical Recovery Center in Targu Mures, on a period of 6 weeks between 24.01.2020 and 07.03.2020, on a sample of 10 subjects with anterior cruciate ligament surgery (5 subjects in the experiment group that followed the TECAR recovery program and 5 subjects that only followed a physiotherapy program for recovering from anterior cruciate ligament surgery), 7 male subjects and 3 female subjects with ages between 24 and 44 years. The research method was mostly experimental. We worked with TECAR therapy, muscular electrostimulation, and a series of kinesiotherapy exercises. For the statistical interpretation, we used the GraphPad Prism program using the Shapiro-Wilk test, t-Student test, Mann-Whitney, and Wilcoxon tests.

Results
The results of the investigation showed statistically significant differences between the experiment and control group after 4 and 6 weeks of a TECAR and kinesiotherapy recovery program.

Conclusions
The conclusions of our investigation highlighted the importance of implementing a supplementary kinesiotherapy program using the TECAR therapy in athletes who recover from anterior cruciate ligament surgery.
