The present study is conducted with a view to providing the first evidence in support of a new cognitive behavioral intervention that was designed to decrease several stress-related mental and somatic symptoms of health professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic in Greece, as well as to increase resilience and self-efficacy. The study is a randomized-control trial, and Factorial (2*3) Mixed ANOVAs were employed to present the effect of the intervention on 6 variables (psychosomatics, stress, anxiety, depression, resilience and self-efficacy) over time (as baseline [T1], post-intervention [T2] and 3-month follow-up [T3]). The intervention was delivered by two different instructors. 48 Greek health professionals (Mage= 36.1, SD= 12.66) were randomly allocated in two groups, as one group received the intervention (Nexperimental= 25), while the other nothing (Nnon-experimental= 20) with no great loses for both groups. All variables were measured through self-reported tools including PSSQ-29 (psychosomatics), the Greek versions of DASS-21 (stress, anxiety and depression), NMRQ (resilience) and GSE (self-efficacy). The results show that the intervention group showed significant differences in all DVs between T1 and T2 as well as between T1 and T2, while there were no differences between T2 and T3. The results of the present study are limited, but still promising for the efficiency and efficacy of the new intervention. The study took place through the spread of COVID-19 in Greece and thus new studies may test the intervention on other conditions.

Introduction: Malignant nodular hidradenoma, also called as hidradenocarcinoma is a rare neoplasm arising from the eccrine glands. The tumour has a slow onset with varied disease course and is generally associated with recurrence and metastasis. It usually affects head, trunk and extremities region and commonly seen in the fifth decade. Patient presents as a solitary nodule. These lesions can arise denovo as well as from a benign nodular hidradenoma. Case summary: We present a case of a 49 years old lady who presented with a nodule on the right side of the upper abdomen since 10 years. The swelling was gradually increasing in size and was associated with watery discharge since 3 years and intermittent pain. Examination showed it to be a 3x4cm mass in the right hypochondrium, it was mildly tender and overlying skin was normal. Wide local excision was done with rhomboid flap. Histopathological examination along with Immunohistochemical studies concluded a diagnosis of Malignant hidradenocarcinoma. Conclusion: Literature shows few cases of Malignant hidradenocarcinoma, since the incidence is low. As it is associated with poor prognosis, hence an accurate diagnosis is very essential for treatment of the patient. Keywords: hidradenocarcinoma, adnexal tumour, eccrine tumour

Melatonin is the natural hormone which is produced by the endocrine gland named as a Pineal Gland. Melatonin is also known as “The Hormone of Darkness”. Melatonin hormone is involved in the circadian regulation and ease of sleep. Low secretion of Melatonin affects biological rhythm. Individuals who are exposed to light at night especially night shift workers on a regular basis experiences biological rhythm disruption. In some studies, it stated that a shortened duration of nocturnal sleep is associated with a high risk of breast cancer. It also disturbs the menstrual cycle in females. Research stated some of the diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis, fertility, PCOS, combined with the COVID-19 pandemic has led to greater awareness of melatonin because of its ability to act as a potent antioxidant, immune- active agent and mitochondrial regulator. There are different similarities between melatonin and vitamin D on a wide range of their impact on health. There is widespread concern about Vitamin D deficiency as a “sunlight deficiency” and reduced melatonin secretion as a result of “darkness deficiency" from overexposure to artificial blue light. To reduce melatonin disturbance people, have to change the daily life style to maintain the biological rhythm. Keywords: Melatonin, Pineal Gland, Natural Hormone, Biological rhythm.
褪黑素是一种天然激素，由名为松果体的内分泌腺分泌。褪黑素也被称为 "黑暗激素"。褪黑素激素参与昼夜节律调节和促进睡眠。褪黑激素分泌过少会影响生物节律。夜间暴露在光线下的人，尤其是经常上夜班的人，会出现生物节律紊乱。一些研究表明，夜间睡眠时间缩短与乳腺癌的高风险有关。它还会扰乱女性的月经周期。研究指出，癌症、阿尔茨海默病、多发性硬化症、不孕不育、多囊卵巢综合症等疾病以及 COVID-19 大流行病使人们对褪黑素有了更多的认识，因为褪黑素是一种强效抗氧化剂、免疫活性剂和线粒体调节剂。褪黑激素和维生素 D 在对健康的广泛影响方面有不同的相似之处。维生素 D 缺乏是 "日光缺乏症"，而褪黑激素分泌减少则是过度暴露于人造蓝光导致的 "黑暗缺乏症"，这一点受到广泛关注。为了减少褪黑激素的干扰，人们必须改变日常生活方式，保持生物节律：褪黑激素 松果体 天然激素 生物节律

Background: Hypothyroidism poses a clinical challenge, with levothyroxine as the standard treatment. However, a notable subset of patients reports ongoing symptoms despite achieving biochemical euthyroidism. This questions the adequacy of levothyroxine monotherapy for all individuals and prompts consideration of alternative therapeutic strategies. Aim: The current study aimed to establish efficacy of Panchakarma and lifestyle management in management of hypothyroidism and reducing oral thyroxine dependency. Methods: A prospective, single centre, observational study was conducted in Maharashtra India. Patients diagnosed with hypothyroidism were included in this study. Follow-up was conducted at 90 days. Day 1 and day 90 data were compared. Results: A total of 15 patients were studied. T3 levels (day 1: 39.70 ± 43.37 nmol/dl and day 90: 42.90 ± 46.46 nmol/dl, p=0.83), T4 levels (day 1: 6.89 ± 2.36 nmol/dl and day 90: 13.70 ± 18.32 nmol/dl, p=0.17) and TSH levels (day 1: 8.63 ± 6.93 mIU/ml and day 90: 6.63 ± 2.97 mIU/ml, p=0.29) improved at follow-up. Conclusion: Ayurvedic treatment is effective in reducing the thyroxine burden and restoring the thyroid functioning in hypothyroid patients.

Based on research and discussions conducted using statistical tests and surveys, it can be concluded that there are differences in people's consumption patterns in Siabu District and Bukit Malintang District before and after receiving BLT.\u0000\u0000Keywords: Village Funds, Effectiveness, Budget Realization,Financial Management.","PeriodicalId":504363,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Research and Review","volume":" 22","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141829622","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}
Background: Facet joint osteoarthritis represents the ultimate phase of spinal degenerative disease. Pain can arise from degenerative processes and the presence of inflammatory cytokines in the facet joints. The researchers aimed to investigate the correlation between the IL-1b/IL-10 ratio and pain severity, along with the histopathological characteristics of osteoarthritis in the facet joint of patients with lumbar spinal canal stenosis. The objective was to identify the specific IL-1b/IL-10 ratio that significantly contributes to the development of osteoarthritis. Methods: The study employed an analytical cross-sectional design and utilized a successive sampling method to select patients with lumbar spinal canal stenosis who matched the specified inclusion criteria. Facet samples were collected to assess the levels of IL-1b and IL-10, the patient's pain intensity, the IL-1b to IL-10 ratio, and the degree of osteoarthritis in the facet joints through histological examination. Results: Thirty-eight patients met the inclusion criteria with an average age of 58 ± 8.93. Average levels of IL-1b 2268.95 ± 862.80 pg/ml, total IL-10 was 1.86 ± 1.68 pg / ml, degree of pain achieved about 5.82 ± 0.56, no OA facet grade 1, 3 samples (7.9%) grade 2, 14 samples (36.8%) degree 3 and a total of 21 samples (55.3%) degree 4. Significant correlation was obtained between the IL-1β/IL-10 ratio, the degree of pain with the histopathological degree of OA of the facet joint with a value of p= 0.02. Conclusions: There is a correlation between the IL-1b/IL-10 ratio and the degree of pain with the histopathological picture of arthritis of the facet joint in patients with lumbar spinal canal stenosis.
