The evidence from literature demonstrates how vulnerable people are to the major and impending threat of climate change (CC). Due to weaker health systems, populations in African nations are more susceptible to harmful consequences, and the balance of effects on health is unfavorable, necessitating more attention and efficient solutions. It is crucial to evaluate the potential health risks brought on by climate variations, such as heat stress, air pollution, waterborne disease, and vector-borne disease. In the past few years, there have been increasing publications about the CC issue in Cameroon. However, few publications emphasize the impact on health; specifically, primary health care (PHC). The quest for global health security can only be accomplished against the scenery of a united mainstreaming of CC response into the public health apparatus, especially in Africa and Cameroon in particular. This is in addition to acknowledging the myriad ways in which CC has an impact on PHC during COVID-19 pandemic and the recent monkeypox multi-country outbreak. In this paper, we highlight this global public health gap and elaborate on its implications using the HASUWEB framework (H: Harsh weather, A: Air pollution, S: Shifts in Vector Ecology, U: Upsurge of Allergens, W: Water and Food; Quality and Supply Impacts, E: Environmental Degradation, B: Bitter end Heat). We also provide recommendations for policy-makers to ensure an effective PHC-CC crisis nexus now and in the future.

Background: Patients with increased intraocular ocular pressure (IOP) or open eye with full stomach scheduled for surgery under general anaesthesia are at the of risk of extrusion of eye content and possible regurgitation and aspiration of gastric contents. Thus prevention or reducing the rise in IOP following the administration of suxamethonium in this group of patients is crucial. Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of MgSO4 pre-treatment on suxamethonium- induced rise in IOP during general anaesthesia in patients coming for elective general surgery. Methodology: Ninety-six ASA1 or 2 patients aged 15-65 years were recruited into two equal groups after ethics committee approval. One group received MgSO4 and the other group received normal saline. The IOP was measured and recorded at specified times up to 15 minutes after tracheal intubation. Data were analysed with the SPSS version 16. Continuous data were summarised as means and standard deviation (SD) and dichotomous data as counts and frequency. Parametric data were compared using student’s t-test and categorical data analysed using chi-square and fisher’s exact test. A P value of < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. All statistical tests were two - sided. Result: There were significant differences in IOP changes following suxamethonium, tracheal intubation, at 5th minute, 10thminute and 15th minute post intubation with p values 0.001, <0.001, <0.001, <0.001, 0.001 respectively (independent t-test). The mean time taken to return to baseline/near baseline was shorter in the study group. There were statistical differences in the IOP, PR, SBP, DBP, and MAP after suxamethonium administration and laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation. The incidence of side effects and complications were minimal. Conclusion: This study revealed that 30 mg/kg of magnesium sulphate pretreatment minimized the increase in IOP following suxamethonium administration. It also reduced the haemodynamic response associated with laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation.
背景:眼内眼压(IOP)升高或胃满睁眼的患者在全身麻醉下进行手术，有眼内内容物挤压和胃内容物可能反流和误吸的风险。因此，在这组患者中预防或减少服用苏沙霉素后眼压升高是至关重要的。目的:本研究旨在评价MgSO4预处理对选择性普外科患者全麻期间磺胺硫铵所致IOP升高的影响。方法:经伦理委员会批准，将96例15-65岁的ASA1或2例患者分为两组。一组注射MgSO4，另一组注射生理盐水。在气管插管后15分钟内测量并记录IOP。数据分析采用SPSS version 16。连续数据汇总为均值和标准差(SD)，二分类数据汇总为计数和频率。参数数据比较采用学生t检验，分类数据分析采用卡方检验和fisher精确检验。P值< 0.05为有统计学意义。所有统计检验均为双侧检验。结果:suxamethonium与气管插管后5分钟、10分钟、15分钟IOP变化差异有统计学意义，p值分别为0.001、<0.001、<0.001、<0.001、0.001(独立t检验)。研究组恢复到基线/接近基线的平均时间较短。苏沙霉素给药及喉镜和气管插管后IOP、PR、SBP、DBP和MAP有统计学差异。副作用和并发症的发生率极低。结论:本研究表明，30 mg/kg硫酸镁预处理可最大限度地降低苏沙霉素给药后IOP的升高。它还降低了与喉镜检查和气管插管相关的血流动力学反应。

The fast-gearing and sudden changes in the work landscape brought by the pandemic have forced many organizations to undergo significant transformation and rethinking of the key elements of their processes and work systems including the migration of most office transactions to the digital platform. However, this also demands organizations to produce strategic personnel upgrades and skills harmonization programs to improve the work performance of the employees specifically tailored in the present work landscape. The purpose of this study was to prove the effectiveness of Project PUSH (Personnel Upgrade and Skills Harmonization) as a technical assistance model to improve the work performance of the employees in the Personnel Unit of SDO-Paranaque. This study was a mixed method experimental research design under the pre-experimental category which utilized one group pre-test-post-test. A total of 11 non-teaching personnel took part in the study and have been selected purposively. Initially, a survey questionnaire on personnel needs assessment was conducted as a basis for skills upgrade and harmonization. Then the midyear rating of the participants was collected as baseline data prior to the employment of the program. After the implementation of the program, the final rating was collected for comparison and interpretation. To determine whether there is a statistically significant difference on the mean scores on the skills categories before and after the intervention as well as the ratings for midyear and final rating, t-test was employed. The results revealed that for both computations, there was a statistically significant difference between the mean scores. The result of the qualitative analysis paralleled to the quantitative data presented which also indicated a positive impact to the participants in terms of communication, ICT, work, and social skills and manifested in their performance rating. Evidently, the intervention as a technical assistance model was effective. Research or Personnel implications were provided for future research directions.
疫情给工作环境带来的快速和突然变化，迫使许多组织对其流程和工作系统的关键要素进行重大转型和重新思考，包括将大多数办公室事务迁移到数字平台。然而，这也要求组织制定战略人员升级和技能协调计划，以提高员工在当前工作环境中的工作绩效。本研究的目的是为了证明PUSH (Personnel Upgrade and Skills Harmonization，人员提升与技能协调)项目作为一种技术援助模式，对提升苏达-帕拉纳克人事单位员工工作绩效的有效性。本研究为前实验类别下的混合方法实验研究设计，采用一组前测后测。共有11名非教学人员参与了这项研究，并且是有意选择的。最初进行了一项关于人员需要评价的调查表，作为提高技能和协调一致的基础。然后，参与者的年中评分被收集为项目实施前的基准数据。方案实施后，收集最终评分进行比较和解读。为了确定干预前后各技能类别的平均得分以及年中评分和最终评分是否有统计学意义，采用t检验。结果显示，在两次计算中，平均得分之间存在统计学上的显著差异。定性分析的结果与所提供的定量数据相一致，也表明在沟通、ICT、工作和社交技能方面对参与者产生了积极影响，并体现在他们的表现评级上。显然，作为技术援助模式的干预是有效的。为今后的研究方向提供了研究或人员启示。

This pilot study was designed to investigate the ability of incorporating lean methodology into the delivery of medical education. The project worked within the academic remits of the University College Dublin (UCD), Master’s in Advanced Practice (Nursing) program, which provided the academic rigor for the project. Practical and procedural skills were taught based on an adapted version of the RNZCUC’s core skills list (CSL) Using a combination of Kaizen Burst (rapid improvements) in teaching skill sessions and Kanban Pull (the voice of the consumer), the project incorporated both lean methods into the delivery of teaching skills and knowledge. These techniques allow for better understanding, easy retention, and accelerated learning. This allows for a better learning experience to those completing the training program feeling confident in utilizing the skills learnt to treat patients presenting to urgent care clinics appropriately The project has shown a potential method for training of Advanced Nurse Practitioners (ANPs) to an accredited standard in urgent care with the use of lean methods in the delivery of skills and knowledge training. The ability for institutions to upskill and train the workforce would provide added benefits for workforce recruitment, development, and retention.

Biology of the carrot fly Psila rosae (Fabricius, 1794) was described by the Danish zoologist Fabricius as early as the 18th century (Fabricius, 1794). The flies overwinter mainly as pupae in the soil near their host plants, in mild winters also as larvae in the host plant roots or in harvest residues. Depending on the temperature, the first generation of carrot flies hatches from mid/late April and reaches a peak in May. Little is known about the spread of adult flies and their migration to current carrot plots, but vegetation elements presumably play an important role in orientation and protection against dehydration. The aim of the mini review is to study on the biology, behavior and damage caused by the carrot fly (Diptera: Psilidae). The aim of this study is to report the characteristics of the Family Psilidae. For this, a bibliographic survey of Scoliidae was carried out in the years to 2022. Only complete articles published in scientific journals and expanded abstracts presented in national and international scientific events were considered.

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the major cause of renal disease that affects 40% of patients with diabetes. DN is characterized by the pathological urine albumin excretion rate (UAER), diabetic glomerular lesions, and loss of glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Several studies have found strong association of animal protein with the glucagon activation, insulin resistance, proteinuria, microalbuminuria, and progression of renal disease in diabetic patients. Vegan diet that excludes all animal foods such as meat (including fish, shellfish, and insects), dairy, eggs, and honey, as well as products such as leather has been found significantly beneficial on enhancing insulin sensitivity, reducing glucagon activation and incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD), and slow the progression of DN. Other studies have suggested that avoiding animal food and shifting the source of dietary protein from animal-derived to plant-based products may be a better dietary approach than dietary protein restriction to reduce kidney disease and cardiovascular disease (CVD), particularly in CKD and diabetes patients with profound insulin resistance. Based on the literature search conducted in this study we concluded that the vegan diet is beneficial in patients with diabetes and CKD to slow the progression of the DN and renal failure. However, additional interventional studies in humans are needed to understand the mechanisms underlying the increased insulin sensitivity by vegan diets and further studies of efficacy and safety of vegan diets in patients with diabetes and DN are recommended.

Introduction: The medical professional is under ever-increasing pressure, therefore he is subjected to ever-increasing stress, which may lead him to burnout. Our objective was to assess the burnout syndrome in physicians and interns in the two university hospital in Toliara and the associated factors. Materials and methods: This is a cross-sectional descriptive study, carried out among doctors and interns practicing in the two university hospital in Toliara using an anonymous questionnaire associated with the Maslach Burnout Inventory scale. Results: We recruited 47 practitioners. The average age of our study population was 39.51 years, 57.4% were men and 42.6% were women with a sex ratio of 1.35. Among Burnout practitioners, 32% were emotionally exhausted, 17% depersonalized, 45% had a low personal accomplishment score. Fifty-nine decimal six percent (59.6%) were in burnout, 8.6% had a high burnout score. Several factors were associated with burnout: female gender (p=0.001), young age (p=0.03), sleep quality (p=0.002), lack of theoretical and practical knowledge (p=0.02) and insufficient technical trays (p=0.03). Conclusion: Burnout syndrome is a reality. The implementation of concrete measures would seem essential, such as improving working conditions to reduce the development of this scourge.

The whole world had suffered the Covid-19 pandemic and most countries had practiced social distancing and Movement Control Orders (MCO) for a variable duration on time. Because of MCO, educational institutions including universities had to shift to online learning. This dramatic change in the mode of learning is expected to affect the students’ academic performance. This research aimed to explore the students’ reflection regarding the online mode of learning and to detect if this affected their academic performance. A cross-sectional study has been implemented among students of the International Medical School, Management and Science University, Malaysia through an online questionnaire distributed in April 2020 investigating the students’ demographic characteristics and the effectiveness of online learning from their point of view. The results regarding the students’ perception of the effectiveness of online learning, showed that 30.4% of the students agreed that the discussion during online learning was depth and comprehensive. 41.8% of the students agreed that they had discussed more and used more resources during online learning. 23.2% of the students agreed that they learned better through online learning while 19.6% agreed that they learned better through online learning. Regarding participation and interaction during online learning, 25.8% agreed on that online learning promotes more participation and interaction while 42.3% of the students agreed that it was difficult for them to ask and to answer questions through online learning. 45.9% of the students suffered technical issues during the online learning session, and 33.5% of the students required more budget for internet connection. 41.8% agreed that there was an increased distraction during the online session. And 35.1% of the students agreed that it was harder for them to be motivated during the online session. These results are representing this period of time which is one month after the start of MCO, and more research is needed to be implemented after the students get used to the new normal mode of learning.

Because of MCO, educational institutions including universities had to shift to online learning. This dramatic change in the mode of learning is expected to affect the students’ academic performance. This research aimed to explore the students’ reflection regarding the online mode of learning and to detect if this affected their academic performance. A cross-sectional study has been implemented among students of the International Medical School, Management and Science University, Malaysia through an online questionnaire distributed in April 2020 investigating the students’ demographic characteristics and the effectiveness of online learning from their point of view. The results regarding the students’ perception of the effectiveness of online learning, showed that 30.4% of the students agreed that the discussion during online learning was depth and comprehensive. 41.8% of the students agreed that they had discussed more and used more resources during online learning. 23.2% of the students agreed that they learned better through online learning while 19.6% agreed that they learned better through online learning. Regarding participation and interaction during online learning, 25.8% agreed on that online learning promotes more participation and interaction while 42.3% of the students agreed that it was difficult for them to ask and to answer questions through online learning. 45.9% of the students suffered technical issues during the online learning session, and 33.5% of the students required more budget for internet connection. 41.8% agreed that there was an increased distraction during the online session. And 35.1% of the students agreed that it was harder for them to be motivated during the online session. These results are representing this period of time which is one month after the start of MCO, and more research is needed to be implemented after the students get used to the new normal mode of learning.","PeriodicalId":19492,"journal":{"name":"Open Access Research Journal of Multidisciplinary Studies","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75408932","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Turmeric has long been used as a strong anti-inflammatory in Indian drug systems. Turmeric is rich in curcuminoids that have different chemical, physico-chemical properties. Current work reports exraction of curcuminoids, curcumin using the Soxhlet extractor. Purification and quantification of curcumin is performed by chromatography. The yield percentage of curcumin reported 4.09% by the Soxhlet extraction method. Different solvent were used for extraction, among them acetone extract was with high yield of curcumin. Individual curcumin extract analysed using UV-VIS Spectroscopy and HPLC. Our results showed that the Salem turmeric contains highest percentage of curcumin. The in vitroMTT assay on the U87MG glioma cell line demanstrated anti-cancer activity of isolated curcumin.

The Pipunculidae Family are obligate endoparasitoids of Homoptera, notably Cicadellidae, Cercopidae, Delphacidae, Membracidae, Issidae, Cixiidae and Flatidae. They mainly attack their nymphs in different stages of development. It has been also recorded the development of some species of Neph rocerus Ikon, 1873 in Tipulids (Diptera: Tipulidae). Female flies usually look for suitable prey and introduce eggs into the host's hemocoel via a penetrating ovipositor. A host attacked by pipunculides is usually in the late nymphal stages; flies of the genus Verralia affect only the imaginal stage of the host (Cercopidae, whose nymphs live in foam masses and are therefore protected from pipunculids). The aim of this study is to report the characteristics of the family Pipunculidae endoparasitoids of cicada (Order Homoptera (Insecta: Homoptera). For this, a bibliographic survey of Scoliidae was carried out in the years 1919 to 2021. Only complete articles published in scientific journals and expanded abstracts presented in national and international scientific events were considered.
