Purpose An identification card facilitates access to municipal services for migrants with precarious status (MPS) in Montreal. The purpose of this study was to explore from MPS’ perspective the utility of the identity (ID) card and its influence on social inclusion for MPS. Design/methodology/approach A sequential explanatory mixed methods design was used. First, a descriptive phone survey was administered ( n = 119). Associations between ID card use and levels of social inclusion were assessed using ordinal logistic regression. Second, semi-structured interviews ( n = 12) were done with purposely selected participants. Results were mixed using a statistics-by-theme approach. Findings Results showed that ID card users compared to nonusers reported higher levels of participation in society and more control/independence in daily life. No statistical associations were found between card use and sense of belonging nor sense of safety. Interviews highlighted that the ID card enabled participation in socio-recreational activities and perceived empowerment. A heightened sense of belonging was also found. Interview participants expressed fear of police despite owning the ID card. Practical implications Overall, although the municipal ID card promoted social inclusion for MPS, there is a need to render the ID card official to fully achieve this goal. Findings can inform the creation of public policies that foster inclusion and health of MPS in cities around the world. Originality/value Evaluation from MPS’ perspectives of the first ID card program of its kind in Canada.

Teleradiology, according to Ministry of Health Regulation No. 20 of 2019, is a diagnostic radiology service that utilizes electronic transmission of images from all radiology modalities, along with supporting data, from Consultation Requesting Health Facilities to Consultation Provider Health Facilities. The goal is to analyze the implementation of teleradiology service policies in healthcare facilities and assess the supporting and inhibiting factors for the implementation of teleradiology service policies in healthcare facilities. The research method used in this study is descriptive qualitative. A total of 12 informants were interviewed, including individuals from Batin Mangunang Hospital, PON Hospital, and X Tambun Bekasi Hospital. Purposive and snowball techniques were employed to identify informants in this study, along with the use of data triangulation and ATLAS.ti software. The results of the implementation of teleradiology service policies at Batin Mangunang Hospital currently involve the use of the WhatsApp application for teleradiology services. Previously, in 2016, the hospital had used applications from the Ministry of Health, but this only lasted for a few months. The inhibiting factor is that the implementers do not fully understand and implement teleradiology services, mainly because they did not continue to provide funding sources and infrastructure facilities. The implementation of teleradiology service policies at PON Hospital for teleradiology services previously used teleradiology from the Ministry of Health and only ran for a few months. Currently, they use Picture Archiving And Communication System (PACS) facilities. The supporting factor is that the implementors understand teleradiology service policies related to DICOM usage standards.

Social media is impacting both positively and negatively on Indian society. Social media is the fruit of advanced science and technology with the outcoming result of globalization and liberalization. In this methodology, we can adopt a systematic methodology, which can give an accurate assessment of the use of social media by the young generation. Young people are knowingly and unknowingly addicted to social media, positively and negatively impacting their lives. The research results indicate that social media platforms such as WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram have become integral parts of modern life, each offering a range of advantages and unique opportunities for users. The implications of this research are the importance of understanding the roles played by social media platforms such as WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram in modern life. In the context of India, these platforms have significant impacts on social relationships, career development, and various aspects of daily life.

Purpose The COVID-19 pandemic disproportionately impacted Latinos across the United States though data on emerging immigrant communities is lacking. The purpose of this study is to better understand how Latino immigrants were impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, allowing a community health clinic in Charlotte, North Carolina to quickly respond to their needs. Design/methodology/approach A mixed method, rapid appraisal using community-based participatory research approaches conducted in February to April 2021 by a team of bilingual researchers. Project consisted of a Spanish, electronic survey distributed through community leaders and in-person interviews conducted in Spanish at COVID-19 vaccine clinics. SPSS Version 26 was used for quantitative analysis. Ordinal and binary logistic regression tests were performed to assess the associations among several outcome and four predictor variables: documentation status, status of health insurance, level of trust in the vaccine and place of birth. Qualitative analysis used rapid appraisal and grounded theory approaches. Findings Latino immigrants experienced job and income loss, resulting in difficulty paying for food, housing and health care. Participants experienced emotional and financial stress and isolation from family. Undocumented immigrants were more likely to experience detrimental impacts than documented immigrants. Most wanted the vaccine but felt barriers like trust and insurance may prevent them. Research limitations/implications Findings from this study are locally relevant to Latino immigrants living in the Charlotte area of North Carolina and findings may not be generalizable to other Latinos. Participants were recruited through faith networks and those who are not connected may not be represented. In addition, interview participants were sampled during vaccination clinics and likely had positive views of the vaccine. Practical implications As a direct result of this project, community health clinic (CHC) held vaccination clinics to instill more confidence in the vaccination process. Spanish-speaking staff were available to assist with paperwork and answer questions onsite. The importance of familismo in decision-making and the reported presence of misinformation about the vaccine prompted CHC to continue providing accurate information about the vaccine in Spanish, and to strategize marketing materials to reflect a family-centric approach to better appeal to Latinos. Findings were used to obtain funding for expansion of clinical and behavioral health services in the community through mobile units, increasing accessibility for Latino immigrants. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this was the first study to examine the effects of the pandemic on a growing and disproportionately underrepresented group in an emerging immigrant state. Findings informed culturally competent COVID-19 vaccine clinics, marketing strategies and the expansion of medical and behavioral health serv
尽管缺乏关于新兴移民社区的数据，但COVID-19大流行对美国各地的拉丁裔人的影响不成比例。本研究的目的是更好地了解拉丁裔移民如何受到COVID-19大流行的影响，使北卡罗来纳州夏洛特的社区卫生诊所能够快速响应他们的需求。设计/方法/方法一组双语研究人员于2021年2月至4月采用基于社区的参与式研究方法进行的混合方法，快速评估。该项目包括通过社区领导人分发的西班牙语电子调查，以及在COVID-19疫苗诊所用西班牙语进行的面对面访谈。采用SPSS Version 26进行定量分析。进行了有序和二元逻辑回归检验，以评估几个结果和四个预测变量之间的关联:文件状态、健康保险状态、对疫苗的信任程度和出生地。定性分析采用快速评估和扎根理论方法。拉丁裔移民经历了工作和收入的损失，导致难以支付食物、住房和医疗保健。参与者经历了情感和经济压力以及与家人的隔离。无证移民比有证移民更有可能遭受有害影响。大多数人想要疫苗，但觉得信任和保险等障碍可能会阻止他们。研究局限性/启示本研究的发现仅适用于居住在北卡罗来纳州夏洛特地区的拉丁裔移民，研究结果可能无法推广到其他拉丁裔。参与者是通过信仰网络招募的，那些没有联系的人可能没有代表。此外，访谈参与者是在疫苗接种诊所取样的，他们可能对疫苗有积极的看法。作为该项目的直接结果，社区卫生诊所举办了疫苗接种诊所，以增强对疫苗接种过程的信心。讲西班牙语的工作人员可以在现场协助文书工作和回答问题。家庭主义在决策过程中的重要性，以及据报道存在的关于疫苗的错误信息，促使CHC继续用西班牙语提供关于疫苗的准确信息，并制定营销材料战略，以反映以家庭为中心的方法，以更好地吸引拉丁美洲人。研究结果被用来获得资金，通过流动单位扩大社区的临床和行为健康服务，增加拉丁裔移民的可及性。原创性/价值据作者所知，这是第一次研究大流行对新兴移民国家中一个日益增长且不成比例地代表性不足的群体的影响。研究结果为具有文化能力的COVID-19疫苗诊所、营销策略以及为当地社区诊所扩大医疗和行为健康服务提供了信息。

Purpose This review aims to examine the literature on refugees’ and asylum seekers’ resilience, its historical evolution, key principles, assumptions and recommendations, while focusing on the Canadian context. Design/methodology/approach A narrative literature review has been applied to this manuscript. This approach allows the integration of a wide scope of literature and perspectives, from academic literature to grey literature (e.g. governmental reports and dissertations). Nevertheless, the limitations of this type of review were also discussed. Findings In spite of the gaining popularity of the resilience lens, which emphasizes an individual’s ability to overcome adversities and stressful events, more work is required for its effective integration into health practice, programs and policies, particularly as it relates to refugees’ and asylum seekers’ mental health care. Originality/value Careful consideration of refugees’ and asylum seekers’ mental health needs and Canadian mental health service delivery and policies is a critical first step in reaching such a goal.

Purpose Many refugees around the world are forced to leave their counties seeking safety and security. Millions of Syrian refugees fled their country since the conflict started in Syria. Jordan is one of the host countries for refugees from different countries including Syria. Health-related quality of life of individuals influences both the individual and the community, and how these two interact with one another. This study aims to explore the four domains – physical health, psychological health, social relationships and environment domains – of health-related quality of life of adults residing in Za’atari camp in the North of Jordan. Design/methodology/approach A constructivist grounded theory approach was used. Data were collected using semi-structured, face-to-face, audio-recorded interviews. Data were analysed using different levels of coding, constant comparative analysis and writing reflective memos. Findings Pursuing safety and security emerged as a core theme in this study. Participants were pursuing safety and security since the conflict started in Syria. Lack of safety and security led them to flee Syria. For participants, safety and security were among the most important aspects of their lives. The meaning of safety and security for Syrian refugees is presented in this paper. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study exploring the health-related quality of life of Syrian refugees residing in Za’atari camp using a qualitative approach.

Penile cancer is a rare condition, affecting only about one out of every 100,000 men globally yearly. The risk of developing penile cancer significantly increases with factors like age, inadequate hygiene practices, and having a foreskin. A 62-year-old male patient presented with a complaint of painful urination, which he had been experiencing for the past four months, and this pain had worsened over the last month. The patient had a medical history of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), an incarcerated hernia, and had developed ulcers on his penis four months ago. In this case, the patient's past issues with hygiene and smoking likely contributed to the development of penile cancer. However, in more advanced cases like this one, where the cancer had significantly progressed, necessitating the removal of the entire penile body, a radical penectomy was carried out. Subsequently, a perineal urethrostomy was created to provide an alternative route for urination. It is discovered at an advanced stage and requiring aggressive treatments makes penile cancer challenging to treat. A significant therapeutic option for advanced penile cancer is radical penectomy followed by perineal urethrostomy.

Radiology services encompass the use of ionizing and non-ionizing radiation sources for diagnostic imaging and therapy. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a crucial clinical radiology service, primarily conducted in hospital-based healthcare facilities. The aim of this research is to assess the influence of patient orientation on MRI-related knowledge and anxiety. This study employs a quasi-experimental design with pretest and posttest measurements, taking into account variables such as age, gender, education, diagnosis, and experience. The results of the research indicate that patient orientation effectively reduces anxiety levels and has a positive impact on the patient's experience during MRI examinations. The conclusions that can be drawn from this research are: The influence of orientation on knowledge in groups that were not given orientation and orientation found that there was no significant difference in the average knowledge before and after orientation (p>0.05), this was because respondents had previously read first about MRI examinations on the internet and after reading the knowledge questionnaire their knowledge increased because after they filled out the questionnaire they asked the researchers what was stated in the knowledge questionnaire. The research suggests that the use of open MRI machines with wider bore diameters, along with patient-oriented practices such as allowing patients to see during the examination, can reduce anxiety.

In the field of radiology, supporting examinations to evaluate the prostate include examination with X-rays, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and ultrasonography (USG). Of all imaging examinations that have been carried out throughout the world, it is estimated that around 25% use ultrasound. The general objective of this research is to analyze the design of the Gradient Vector Flow (GVF) segmentation algorithm on 2D ultrasound images to measure prostate volume in the adult age group. This study created a Gradient Vector Flow (GVF) segmentation application for the prostate organ to calculate the prostate volume calculation. RnD research with an experimental approach was carried out by creating a Gradient Vector Flow (GVF) segmentation design application, tested on 15 DICOM-based ultrasound images, measuring and calculating prostate volume using caliper measurement on ultrasound equipment and Gradient Vector Flow segmentation application. Measurements were made by an expert (sonographer) as an observer with data analysis using SPSS statistics. Analysis of ultrasound image of prostate volume using caliper measurement technique and Gradient Vector Flow (GVF) segmentation is similar to a p-value of 0.950 (> 0.05). Measurement with caliper measurements has similarities shown by the mean rank value of Gradient Vector Flow (GVF) of 15.60 with a mean rank value of caliper measurement of 15.40. GVF application measurement on transabdominal ultrasound prostate volume measurement is similar to caliper measurement and can be used to get more accurate results on objects with less clear edge characteristics. However, the caliper measurement method can be used more efficiently.

Of all imaging examinations that have been carried out throughout the world, it is estimated that around 25% use ultrasound. The general objective of this research is to analyze the design of the Gradient Vector Flow (GVF) segmentation algorithm on 2D ultrasound images to measure prostate volume in the adult age group. This study created a Gradient Vector Flow (GVF) segmentation application for the prostate organ to calculate the prostate volume calculation. RnD research with an experimental approach was carried out by creating a Gradient Vector Flow (GVF) segmentation design application, tested on 15 DICOM-based ultrasound images, measuring and calculating prostate volume using caliper measurement on ultrasound equipment and Gradient Vector Flow segmentation application.
