Several behavioural therapies and medications are normally available for de-addiction and rehabilitation. Yoga Prana Vidya (YPV) is an integrated and holistic system that consists of no-touch no-drug energy healing protocols and simple to practice. This paper presents cases of various addictions successfully overcome using YPV System Protocols. Method: This paper uses case study method going through case papers and feedback reports from subjects who had successfully overcome addictions using Yoga Prana Vidya system of protocols. Results: An Indian sample of 30 documented cases shows that Yoga Prana Vidya healers applied YPV protocols for de-addiction of these cases successfully, and the 7 subjects who could be followed up confirmed that they successfully sustained the change. An in-depth case study of a subject in Australia healed by a YPV healer in Australia shows that the subject cured completely of alcohol addiction after 2 weeks of YPV healing. Further to it, this subject learnt YPV Level 1 healing and became a healer to continue healing himself and others as well. Conclusion: YPV system is integrated and holistic, without touch or use of drugs. Decades of experience with YPV practice shows that many types of physical, mental and emotional illnesses have been cured successfully. YPV is easy to learn and simple to practice by all. Further research may be conducted on a larger sample of varied conditions of addiction to gain broader insights into this phenomenon.

{"title":"Is There a Delay in Emergency Surgical Procedures in a Designated COVID-19 Hospital? -The Hospital Sungai Buloh (Malaysia) Experience","authors":"Aroona S","doi":"10.16965/ijims.2021.114","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.16965/ijims.2021.114","url":null,"abstract":"Introduction: The global pandemic Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS, CoV-2) is highly contagious and has driven many hospitals including Hospital Sungai Buloh (HSB) in Malaysia to become a designated hospital exclusively for COVID-19 patients only. These patients may develop complications requiring surgical consultation and intervention which have led to concerns regarding delay in the surgical management of these patients. Currently, there is a paucity of published data worldwide with regards to whether there is a delay in the time taken to perform the intended emergency procedure that has been planned by the attending surgical team. Method: This single-centered, retrospective study aims to investigate whether there is any delay in performing emergency surgical procedures during the COVID-19 pandemic in HSB from 1/3/2020 to 30/3/2021. All the cases were categorized based on recommended priority into acute emergency, emergency, and urgent. Results: There were a total of 105 patients; 5(4.8%) acute emergency cases, 22(21.0%) emergency cases, and 78 (74% cases) required an urgent intervention of which the majority had an endoscopic procedure performed i.e., 85.9% (67 cases) compared to surgery, 14.1% (11 cases). Patients in the emergency procedure category took the longest time to intervene whereby the median time taken was 548 minutes. 50% of patients in this category were delayed. Patients in the acute emergency category had delays seen in all 5 patients, with a median of 239 minutes. On the other hand, patients in the urgent category had only 10.3% of the patients who were delayed. Conclusion: From the total of 105 patients requiring emergency surgical intervention over 12 months period during the COVID-19 pandemic, the delay was seen in 24 patients (23% of cases). Multiple factors contributing to the delay have been postulated, pertaining to the implementation of the new Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) in managing COVID-19 patients in general, which needs to be verified with further study and addressed accordingly.

Despite smartphone usage's advantages and positive impact, the unlimited usage of smartphones for social needs and communications leads to smartphone addiction. Smart addiction is considered a form of technological addiction. This study aims to determine the level of smartphone addiction among nursing students at Private Healthcare University College. Method: This study used a cross-sectional descriptive quantitative design using convenient sampling. A self-administered Smartphone Addiction Scale questionnaire with close-ended items of questions were distributed to 159 selected diploma nursing students. Results: The study results show high smartphone addiction 126 (58.95%) among nursing students of Private Healthcare University College. Besides, the nursing students spent excessive time on a smartphone, particularly on social networks. However, there was no significant relationship found between smartphone addiction and selected sociodemographic characteristics. Conclusion: This study has provided an initial insight into smartphone usage among nursing students at Private Healthcare University College and suggest that they are more vulnerable to smartphone addiction. Therefore, university management, parents, and students themselves need to take the initiative to free them from smartphone addiction.

Importance factors found to determine phlebitis incidence include the kind of infusion and dwell time of intravenous cannula. The use of the visual infusion phlebitis (VIP) score tool for the assessment of the early signs of phlebitis along with prompt removal of peripheral intravenous cannula has been very successful in reducing below the acceptable rate of 5%.

In view of importance of detecting the refractive error in children an effort is going to be made in this study. To find out the extent of problem of refractive errors among children in Raichur. Materials and Methods : the prospective study was conducted with 100 number 10-15 years children from the Raichur. All the children were examined with visual acuity by snellen’s chart, Examination of anterior and posterior segment, Retinoscope, trail set and cycloplegic refraction followed by subjective correction will be done. Results : The prevalence of Refractive error in the 10-15 years children was found to be 11%, higher in 15 years (3%), more in girls (6%) and in urban area children had more prevalence (7%). Myopia was the commonest type of refractive error in this study which constitutes 55%, Astigmatism 27% and 18% of hypermetropia was seen in the 10-15yrs children. Conclusion : Most of the children are unaware of Refractive error, so screening of children is very important. Parents have to take the responsibility of this screening for vision error and they should monitor the their vision vial watching tv, reading books. The screening system should be yearly at least 3 time a year to every child especially 14-15 years student.","PeriodicalId":105328,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Integrative Medical Sciences","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125683193","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}
