description: Background. Patient falls and injuries during hospitalization is a good quality indicator of safety of inpatients. Data on inpatients falls are deficient in Egyptian hospitals. Ain Shams university hospitals do not have any recording system for falls.
Aim. This study aimed at estimating the incidence density of falls and describing pattern and risk factors contributing to falls in Ain shams university hospitals.
Subjects and methods. A prospective follow up study was conducted on inpatients admitted to Ain Shams university hospitals. Patients were followed up for a maximum of two weeks for the occurrence of fall. An interview questionnaire addressed to in-patients was designed to investigate the incident of fall. Type of fall, provisional cause, consequences, night or day timing of fall, walking condition in hospital and past history of fall were among the factors investigated in the incident of fall. Questionnaire assessing the basic and instrumental daily activities for the elderly (? 60 years) was completed.
Results. 1779 patients were included in the study in eight different wards with a mean age of 41.8 years. The incidence density of falls was 9 per 1000 patient days. Logistic regression analysis identified male gender, walking difficulties in-hospital and history of falls before hospitalization as independent risk factors for falls among below 60 years patients.
Conclusion. Incidence of falls is relatively high among the studied university hospitals. Identified risk factors differed among adults compared to elderly.
Recommendations. Measuring, monitoring and assessing fall rates are strongly recommended using a valid and reliable tool to improve quality of health services.

description: Chlorhexidine is the most commonly used anti-infective drug in dentistry. To treat infected void areas, a drug-loaded material that swells to fill the void and releases the drug slowly is needed. This study investigated the encapsulation and release of chlorhexidine from cellulose acetate nanofibers for use as an antibacterial treatment for dental bacterial infections by oral bacteria Streptococcus mutans and Enterococcus faecalis. This study used a commercial electrospinning machine to finely control the manufacture of thin, flexible, chlorhexidine-loaded cellulose acetate nanofiber mats with very-small-diameter fibers (measured using SEM). Water absorption was measured gravimetrically, drug release was analyzed by absorbance at 254 nm, and antibiotic effects were measured by halo analysis in agar. Slow electrospinning at lower voltage (14 kV), short target distance (14 cm), slow traverse and rotation, and syringe injection speeds with controlled humidity and temperature allowed for the manufacture of strong, thin films with evenly cross-meshed, uniform low-diameter nanofibers (640 nm) that were flexible and absorbed over 600% in water. Chlorhexidine was encapsulated efficiently and released in a controlled manner. All formulations killed both bacteria and may be used to fill infected voids by swelling for intimate contact with surfaces and hold the drug in the swollen matrix for effective bacterial killing in dental settings.

description: Background: Art Historian Claire Bishop, a key author on participatory art, influenced the methodology of 'To the fallen trees...' Bishop interprets participatory art as “striving to collapse the distinction between performer and audience, professional and amateur, production and reception…emphasis is on collaboration, and the collective dimension of social experience” (Bishop, 2006). The project was developed with individuals of the Yarra Ranges community, collapsing the distinction between the collaborators and providing a platform to emotionally express the shared traumatic experience of the Victorian Windstorms of June 2021 in the Dandenong Ranges. Collaborators were from various cultural backgrounds, ages and varying creative skills and abilities. Our research asks: How can a public participatory art project express the eco-anxiety of a community, in regards to increasing extreme weather conditions?

Contribution: Through a site analysis via field visits, meetings with Yarra Ranges museum staff, public art officers and community, we identified One Tree Hill as an appropriate site for a project. Large piles of tree debris lay in the site as evidence of the devastation, inspiring us to consider how we connect with the environment via the site. Our intention was to direct the communities’ sorrow to the tree community by writing ‘letters of empathy’ to the fallen trees. By connecting with local networks, we identified collaborating contributors who participated in writing letters and publicly read them as a performative work.

Significance: 'To the fallen trees…' focused on developing a collaborative outcome, by expressing the social impact of ecological devastation in the Dandenongs. This project was selected for the inaugural launch of the Big Anxiety Festival in Naarm /Melbourne in 2022, Australia’s premier art and mental health festival. An interview about To the fallen trees…was held with 3MDR radio on October 9 2022.

description: Ticks are blood feeding external parasites which can cause local and systemic complications to human body. A lot of tick-borne human diseases include Lyme disease and virus encephalitis, can be transmitted by a tick bite. Also secondary bacterial skin infection, reactive manifestations against tick allergens, and granuloma?s formation can be occurred. Tick paralysis is a relatively rare complication but it can be fatal. Except the general rules for tick bite prevention, any tick found should be immediately and completely removed alive. Furthermore, the tick removal technique should not allow or provoke the escape of infective body fluids through the tick into the wound site, and disclose any local complication. Many methods of tick removal (a lot of them are unsatisfactory and/or dangerous) have been reported in the literature, but there is very limited experimental evidence to support these methods. No technique will remove completely every tick. So, there is not an appropriate and absolutely effective and/or safe tick removal technique. Regardless of the used tick removal technique, clinicians should be aware of the clinical signs of ticktransmitted diseases, the public should be informed about the risks and the prevention of tick borne diseases, and persons who have undergone tick removal should be monitored up to 30 days for signs and symptoms.

description: Significance: Digital holographic microscopy (DHM) is a label-free microscopy
technique that provides time-resolved quantitative phase imaging (QPI) by measur-
ing the optical path delay of light induced by transparent biological samples. DHM
has been utilized for various biomedical applications, such as cancer research and
sperm cell assessment, as well as for in vitro drug or toxicity testing. Its lensless
version, digital lensless holographic microscopy (DLHM), is an emerging technology
that offers size-reduced, lightweight, and cost-effective imaging systems. These fea-
tures make DLHM applicable, for example, in limited resource laboratories, remote
areas, and point-of-care applications.
Aim: In addition to the abovementioned advantages, in-line arrangements for DLHM
also include the limitation of the twin-image presence, which can restrict accurate
QPI. We therefore propose a compact lensless common-path interferometric off-axis
approach that is capable of quantitative imaging of fast-moving biological speci-
mens, such as living cells in flow.
Approach: We suggest lensless spatially multiplexed interferometric microscopy
(LESSMIM) as a lens-free variant of the previously reported spatially multiplexed
interferometric microscopy (SMIM) concept. LESSMIM comprises a common-path
interferometric architecture that is based on a single diffraction grating to achieve
digital off-axis holography. From a series of single-shot off-axis holograms, twin-
image free and time-resolved QPI is achieved by commonly used methods for
Fourier filtering-based reconstruction, aberration compensation, and numerical
propagation.
Results: Initially, the LESSMIM concept is experimentally demonstrated by results
from a resolution test chart and investigations on temporal stability. Then, the accu-
racy of QPI and capabilities for imaging of living adherent cell cultures is character-
ized. Finally, utilizing a microfluidic channel, the cytometry of suspended cells in flow
is evaluated.
Conclusions: LESSMIM overcomes several limitations of in-line DLHM and pro-
vides fast time-resolved QPI in a compact optical arrangement. In summary,
LESSMIM represents a promising technique with potential biomedical applications
for fast imaging such as in imaging flow cytometry or sperm cell analysis.

Year: 2011

description: Introduction. Hospital care is a precious gift in Uganda, therefore little concern is given to hospital safety and very seldom Hospital Acquired Infection (HAI) risk is evaluated. Within a quality improvement hospital program the Board of Lacor Hospital, a large Missionary Hospital of north Uganda, ordered an HAI control program to be established. The first step of this program was an HAI prevalence survey whose results are presented in this
paper.
Methods. A one day prevalence survey was performed on patients admitted at least 48 hours before the survey: short training was offered to qualified nurses and hospital doctors. Lacking a suitable microbiological diagnostic service, clinical definitions of HAI were adopted. Questionnaires were completed by the nurses and data were analyzed and presented to the hospital personnel four days after the survey. A HAI control program was agreed
and started soon after.
Results. The hospital has 44.000 admissions yearly with 482 beds and main hospital specialties, 410 patients were surveyed. Overall HAI prevalence was 28%, more in surgery (47%) and less in pediatrics (21%). Blood stream infections were the most frequent, followed by surgical wound infections and Urinary Tract infections, several lower respiratory tract infections and few gastrointestinal one. HAI prevalence was associated with length of stay in hospital,intravenous cannulas, urinary catheters and emergency surgery.
Patients with severe low nutrition status, anemia and complications of the main disease bringing them to hospital experienced higher HAI prevalence.
Discussion. This paper shows that HAI can be measured also in absence of microbiological service and that Hospital staff are ready to evaluate this problem.
This high HAI prevalence was not expected by the staff and has been a starting point for an hospital HAI control plan.

description: In the field of prevention, Internet websites and their related instruments constitute valuable tools for healthcare facilities, and particularly for Local Healthcare Authorities (LHA). As yet, however, their undoubted potential remains largely unexploited.
Many LHA websites currently operating in Italy are organized in such a way that they fail to make adequate use of this precious resource. Indeed, communication regarding prevention is all too often limited to the simple reproduction of information and indications in a static and heterogeneous manner, so much so that it resembles a mere ?online notice-board?. The aim of the present research was to analyze the current situation and the various innovative proposals that have been made, in order to construct a more effective website model that could be used
nationwide. To this end, the research was carried out through a two-pronged approach: on the one hand, all 190 LHA websites in Italy were analyzed; on the other, a questionnaire was administered to a sample of habitual users of the most modern and widespread social network, Facebook.
Analysis and elaboration of the data gathered led to the creation of the model ?@Prevention?. This project is intended to introduce an innovative perspective into the field of online communication for healthcare prevention by providing a highly useful tool for the LHA, healthcare workers and, obviously, citizens.

description: Purpose. The aim of this study was to investigate among adolescents in Antwerp their knowledge about vaccination and to describe their information sources, motives and barriers for vaccination.
Methods. In March 2009, adolescents aged between 14 and 17 years from three schools with a mixed Belgian and immigrant population in Antwerp completed a written questionnaire concerning vaccination. The questionnaire was already used and validated in a study in five European countries: France, Italy, Spain, Germany and the United Kingdom.
Results. In total 186 adolescents completed the questionnaire. Most of them (93%) knew that vaccination is a method to prevent disease. Most adolescents knew about the existence of vaccines against tetanus (94%), hepatitis B (91%) and human papillomavirus (87%). The most important sources for information were the
family physician (83%), the school (79%) and the parents (70%). Their knowledge about vaccinations was not related to courses about vaccination at school.
Conclusions. The physician, the school and the parents play a key role in the vaccination of adolescents. Our results are in many aspects similar to those in the other European countries.

description: Background: The economic shutdown and school closures associated with the COVID-19 pandemic have negatively influenced many young people’s educational and training opportunities, leading to an increase in youth not in education, employment, or training (NEET) globally and in Canada. NEET youth have a greater vulnerability to mental health and substance use problems, compared to their counterparts who are in school and/or employed. There is limited evidence on the association between COVID-19 and NEET youth. The objectives of this exploratory study included investigating: longitudinal associations between the COVID-19 pandemic and the mental health and substance use (MHSU) of NEET youth; and MHSU among subgroups of NEET and non-NEET youth. Methods: 618 youth (14–28 years old) participated in this longitudinal, cohort study. Youth were recruited from four pre-existing studies at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health. Data on MHSU were collected across 11 time points during the COVID-19 pandemic (April 2020-August 2022). MHSU were measured using the CoRonavIruS Health Impact Survey Youth Self-Report, the Global Appraisal of Individual Needs Short Screener, and the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5. Linear Mixed Models and Generalized Estimating Equations were used to analyze associations of NEET status and time on mental health and substance use. Exploratory analyses were conducted to investigate interactions between sociodemographic characteristics and NEET status and time. Results: At baseline, NEET youth were significantly more likely to screen positive for an internalizing disorder compared to non-NEET youth (OR = 1.92; 95%CI=[1.26–2.91] p = 0.002). No significant differences were found between youth with, and without, NEET in MHSU symptoms across the study time frame. Youth who had significantly higher odds of screening positive for an internalizing disorder included younger youth (OR = 1.06, 95%CI=[1.00-1.11]); youth who identify as Trans, non-binary or gender diverse (OR = 8.33, 95%CI=[4.17–16.17]); and those living in urban areas (OR = 1.35, 95%CI=[1.03–1.76]), compared to their counterparts. Youth who identify as White had significantly higher odds of screening positive for substance use problems (OR = 2.38, 95%CI=[1.72–3.23]) compared to racialized youth. Conclusions: Our findings indicate that sociodemographic factors such as age, gender identity, ethnicity and area of residence impacted youth MHSU symptoms over the course of the study and during the pandemic. Overall, NEET status was not consistently associated with MHSU symptoms over and above these factors. The study contributes to evidence on MHSU symptoms of NEET youth.

description: Assessment of protozoan populations is an important tool in evaluating the efficiency of activated sludge in the treatment of wastewater. In this process, protozoa play a significant role by grazing on dispersed bacteria, supporting a healthy food web in activated sludge artificial ecosystems. The objective of this study was to verify how the success of the purification process in activated sludge plants, mainly in terms of TSS, BOD5 and COD, is related to ciliate protozoa communities and the presence of filamentous bacteria.
Samples were collected from five water treatment plants in the Puglia region, in the period May 2007 - April 2008. Microfauna and filamentous bacteria were identified and quantified, and the sludge biotic index calculated.
The data show a correlation between the biological components of activated sludge and traditional chemical parameters. Our results indicate that biological analyses represent a valid alter- native to traditional chemical testing in assessing the perform- ance of activated sludge systems.

description: Introduction: The study of resilience among transition-age youth (aged 16–29 years) living with serious mental illness (SMI) has provided a promising new direction for research with the capacity to explore individuals’ strengths and resources. However, variability in how resilience is defined and measured has led to a lack of conceptual clarity. A comprehensive synthesis is needed to understand current trends and gaps in resilience research among this population. The purpose of the current study was to map how resilience has been conceptualized and operationalized among transition-age youth with SMI, explore resilience factors and outcomes that have been studied, and recommend areas for future research. Methods: A six-stage scoping review methodology was used to systematically identify relevant empirical literature across multiple databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, AMED, CINAHL, Scopus), addressing transition-age youth diagnosed with SMI and resilience. Topic consultation and reaction meetings were conducted to gather feedback from transition-age youth with SMI, researchers, and clinicians during the review process to enhance the applicability of the review findings. A meta-narrative approach was used to organize included studies into research traditions (i.e., paradigms of inquiry with similar storylines, theoretical and methodological orientations). Resilience factors and outcomes, and the consultative meetings, were analyzed using content analysis. Results: Twenty-four studies met inclusion criteria (14 quantitative, 9 qualitative, 1 mixed-method). Four research traditions were identified, each contributing a unique storyline which conceptualized and operationalized resilience in slightly different ways: Stress Adaptation, Person-Environment Interactions, Recovery-Focused, and Critical and Cultural Perspectives. Resilience factors and outcomes were most commonly evaluated at the individual-level or within the immediate environment (e.g., personal characteristics, social support networks). Limited research has explored the influence of macro-level systems and health inequalities on resilience processes. Results from the consultative meetings further demonstrated the importance of health services and sociocultural factors in shaping processes of resilience among youth. Conclusion: The present results may be used to inform future work, as well as the development of age-appropriate, strengths-based, and resilience-oriented approaches to service delivery. Interdisciplinary and intersectional research that prioritizes community and youth engagement is needed to advance current understandings of resilience among transition-age youth with SMI.

description: Introduction. Students spend at least 20% of their time in schools. Training, educating and the personality of these students depends on appropriate educational methods, proper physical space, and also favorable mental environment. Students are considered as a major human resources of any society and dealing with their health and promoting educational environment health is in fact a kind of investment for future. In this study we examined the status of environmental health status in primary school of different districts of Isfahan.
Materials and methods. This study was a descriptive-analytical study. The number of studied samples was 77 schools in Isfahan which were selected by regular randomized method. The tool used to gather data was a environmental health inquiry form for school environments, and consisted of two parts: the first part included common school specifications and the second part involved items dealing with desirability of various parts of schools.The above forms were filled
out in 3 months by specialists in public health, evaluating the schools and interviewing the principals. Then, they were analyzed and a comparison was made between the results from various districts.
Results. 76.6% of schools complied with the standards and 80.5% of classrooms were in desired conditions. Regarding the standards for building and classrooms, there was no significant difference between various districts. Hygiene services (water closets and basin) and drinking water were at desired level and there was no significant difference between various districts in this regard, however the district 1 was in undesired condition. Regarding collecting and disposing of rubbishes and trashes, 79% of schools were in desired condition and 49% of them had hygienic tuck-shops according to standards, but there was no significant difference between various districts.
Conclusion. The study showed that the status of environment health is at desired level in primary schools in Isfahan, but the health of tuck-shops should improve in schools and it needs more
attention and interest from authorities of Ministry of Education and Ministry of Health and dedicating proper budgets to solve their health problems.

description: Owing to the variability of influenza viruses, vaccine composition needs to be up-dated annually. As many variables can influence their efficacy, vaccines are still considered ?sub-optimal?. Many studies have been carried out in recent years to improve vaccines. In particular, researchers and vaccine-producing corporations have focused on developing a live vaccine. Among the candidate vaccines, the strain developed by Maassab has recently been licensed in the USA and Europe, after extensive investigation. This vaccine is safe and well tolerated, and has shown very good genetic stability. Although vaccine recipients are able to spread the virus, transmission to close contacts is practically non-existent. Studies on cold-adapted attenuated influenza vaccines have demonstrated that such vaccines are effective, and sometimes more effective than inactivated influenza vaccines. Cold-adapted attenuated influenza vaccines therefore appear to be an important weapon against influenza. However, a more widespread use of these vaccines is to be recommended, especially in children, as the more acceptable way of administration can favour parental compliance.

description: To document trends in human exposure to environmental pollutants, the German Environmental Specimen Bank (ESB) has been routinely collecting and archiving 24-h urine samples from young adults at four sampling sites in Germany on an annual basis. For the purpose of normalizing measured analyte concentrations, urinary creatinine (UC), specific gravity (SG), conductivity (CON), and total urine volume (UVtot) of 24-h urine samples have also been recorded. These parameters are however susceptible to variation over time, as well as within/among participants and normalization against them can thus affect the interpretation of data regarding exposure to environmental pollutants. To evaluate the influence of normalization against these parameters, we first sought to determine variations of these parameters with regard to differences between sexes and trends over time. We analysed data from 8619 urine samples collected from 1997 to 2016. We observed an inverse relation between UVtot and UC, SG, and CON. We also found differences between sexes for UC, SG and CON, but not UVtot. UC, SG, and CON showed significant decreasing trends over time in both sexes. In contrast, a significant increase of over 30% in UVtot, independent of participant age and BMI, was revealed. This increase in UVtot and the concomitant sample dilution is likely to have an impact on measured analyte concentrations in 24-h urine samples. Hence, normalization of urinary concentrations is warranted when interpreting time trends of human exposure. Next, urinary calcium (Ca2+) concentrations of ESB participants were used to demonstrate the effects of normalization against each of the four urine parameters. From 1997 to 2016, measured Ca2+ concentrations showed a statistically significant but scientifically implausible decrease. Normalization of Ca2+ concentrations against UVtot (by calculating the total daily excretion), UC, or CON, but not SG, eliminated this decrease. Consistent with previous work, Ca2+ concentrations in urine and total daily Ca2+ excretion were higher for males than females. Normalization against UC, SG, or CON, however, attenuated this difference. Thus, to avoid misinterpretation in trend analysis and sex-specific excretion in 24-h urine samples, the calculation of the total daily excretion is recommended.
Chauka's Voice: Resistance in the Art of Behrouz Boochani

description: BACKGROUND
Behrouz Boochani’s prison writing is an influential intervention into cultural theory and social and political philosophy about Australian policies toward asylum seekers who have sought to arrive in Australia by boat since 1992. His account of being imprisoned has been ground-breaking in giving voice to the perspective of asylum seekers. He is a key figure in this research (No Friend But the Mountains) and so is his collaborator, the writer Janet Galbraith (“A Reflection on Chauka Please Tell Us the Time” (2019) and “Dangerous Communication” (2016). Both writers emphasise birds as subjects capable of thinking and friendship with humans. While Boochani’s prison writing is widely discussed, his writing about birds as subjects is not addressed by other scholars in cultural theory. My research asks how can the more human relations between birds and people in Boochani prison writing be thought?

CONTRIBUTION
“Chauka’s Voice: Resistance in the Art of Behrouz Boochani” is narrative nonfiction. The essay forms part of my ongoing work on relations of solidarity between humans and the more than human world for my book project Decoloniality and Sexual Difference. My contribution is significant to the field of cultural theory because it is the first nonfiction work to trace the political agency of birds as witnesses and companions to the asylum seekers on Manus Island in Boochani’s writing.

SIGNIFICANCE: Overland is an Australian literary publication based in Melbourne. The Overland website is widely read forum for scholars in literary studies, creative writing, cultural theory and philosophy. The article was an invited contribution, commissioned by Adjunct Professor Victoria Grieves (RMIT) based on my paper “Chauka’s Voice” at the Activism Now conference in the School of Media and Communication at RMIT in early 2020.
