Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate effects of swimming training and a supplement comprising four nanoliposome herbal extracts in a rat model with mid-brain tumor. Methods: In this experimental study, 56-male-Wistar rats (230 ± 20 g) were divided into eight groups (n = 7): Normal group, model group, model + exe group, model + lipo, model + extract, model + lipo-extract, model + extract-exe, model + lipo-extract + exe. Mid-brain tumor model was induced by injection of the C6 glioma cell line (5 × 105 cell suspension) using stereotaxic techniques in the substantia nigra area of rats. Consumption of nanoformulation of herbals extract (100 mg/kg/day), crude extract (100 mg/kg/day), and swimming training (30 min, 3 days/week) were performed for six weeks. P53, Hras, IL-10, and Casp8 were studied by bioinformatics analysis. We assessed the relative expression of genes in the mid-brain tumor via the quantitative Real-Time PCR (qRT-PCR) method. Beam test and sciatic functional index assessed nerve function and motor coordination. Results: In-silico analysis highlighted substantial genes with significant differential expression compared to healthy status as biomarkers in pathogenesis conditions. The expression level of the P53 and Hras increased with swimming training and nanoliposomes enriched complex complement. Besides, the expression of the IL-10 and Casp8 decreased with swimming training and nanoliposomes enriched complex complement. Conclusions: Our findings show that swimming training and nanoliposome-enriched combined supplements in rats can possibly be considered effective complementary medicine for motor impairment recovery induced by the brain tumor in the substantia nigra area.","PeriodicalId":18693,"journal":{"name":"Modern Care Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86733197","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}

Nomophobia is common, especially in the young population, with an increase in the use of technology in society. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the nomophobia levels of nursing students and the relationship between nomophobia and personality traits. Methods: This multicenter, descriptive, and relational study was carried out in three different universities. The students were reached via the Web-Anket application within June to July 2021. The nursing department students in Turkey (n = 818) constituted the research population. No sample selection was performed in the study, and all students who accepted to participate and met the inclusion criteria were included in the study. The study was conducted on 424 nursing students. The data were collected via an online personal information form, Nomophobia Questionnaire, and 10-Item Personality Inventory (TIPI). Percentage, mean ± standard deviation, analysis of variance, and Pearson correlation coefficient tests were used to analyze the data. Results: The mean age of the participants was 20.5 ± 1.8 years. Moreover, 84.7% of the participants were female. Additionally, 93.2% of the subjects lived with their parents, and 63.0% reported that the monthly income of the family was equal to monthly expenditures. It was shown that 31.1% of the students had mild nomophobia; nevertheless, 52.6% and 16.3% of the students had moderate and severe nomophobia, respectively. The total nomophobia score was observed to be 74.17 ± 25.53. The TIPI subdimensions’ mean scores were 9.87 ± 2.29, 8.83 ± 2.33, 8.66 ± 2.82, 10.66 ± 2.65, and 9.34 ± 3.04 for openness to experience, agreeableness, emotional stability, conscientiousness, and extroversion, respectively. This study revealed that students’ smartphone usage purposes and personality traits were related to their nomophobia levels.

Various factors related to the quality of life of heart failure patients include occupation and ejection fraction. The number of heart failure patients treated at Aceh government hospital is still high in 2021, as well as the incidence of recurrent hospitalization. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the relationship between occupation, ejection fraction, and heart failure patients' quality of life. Methods: The study used a quantitative research approach with a cross-sectional design. The sample was 154 heart failure patients who visited the Cardiac Polyclinic of a provincial hospital in Banda Aceh, Indonesia. Data on patient occupation, ejection fraction, and comorbidity factors were obtained from the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of the respondents. Then, the patient’s quality of life was measured by the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure (MLHF) questionnaire. The chi-square test and logistic regression (with a significance level α = 0.05) were used in data analysis in this study. Results: The results of the study found a significant direct correlation between patient occupation (P = 0.001), ejection fraction (P = 0,001), and an inverse correlation of comorbidity factors (P = 0.001) with quality of life (α = 0.05). The multivariate analysis using logistic regression found that the dominant factor, ejection fraction, was associated with the quality of life of heart failure patients with OR: 12.033, followed by comorbidity factors (OR: 3.565) and occupation (OR: 1.819). Conclusions: The quality of life of heart failure patients is strongly associated with the ejection fraction in heart failure patients; therefore, maintaining the ejection fraction is needed to improve the quality of life.","PeriodicalId":18693,"journal":{"name":"Modern Care Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79251148","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}

Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted at the NICU of Ali-Ibn-Abitaleb Hospital of Rafsanjan. A total of 204 parents with premature neonates admitted to the NICU were selected by the convenience sampling method. The data collection tool was a demographic data form and the Parental Stress Scale: Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. The data were analyzed using descriptive and analytic statistic tests, such as the one-sample t-test, by SPSS software (version 22). Results: The most stressful item was in the “sights and sounds” domain belonging to “sudden alarm noises” for both parents, and “needles and tubes put in” in the “neonate’s behavior” domain. The major causes of stress in “parental role alterations” subscales were relevant to “feeling helpless about how to help neonate” and “being separated from neonate” in fathers and mothers, respectively. The comparison of parental stress scores in the total scale for mothers and fathers showed that mothers had higher stress scores in “sights and sounds” and “neonate’s behavior” domains; however, fathers’ scores were higher in “parental role alterations” without any significant differences (P > 0.05).

Although the psychosocial impact of COVID-19 has been studied in different populations, psychosocial factors (such as solution-focused thinking (SFT) and hope) have not been previously studied in midwifery students. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the SFT and hope levels of midwifery students after distance education applied due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in June 2020 in the Midwifery Department of the Health Sciences Faculty of Ondokuz Mayıs University, Turkey. The research data were collected using a student identification form (SIF), Solution-focused Inventory (SFI), and Dispositional Hope Scale (DHS). The data were analyzed using SPSS version 20. The compliance of the variables to normal distribution was evaluated using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test.

The Coronavirus Anxiety Scale (CAS) is a brief questionnaire that identifies dysfunctional anxiety induced by the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: The authors translated the CAS into Persian and assessed its validity and reliability among Iranian HCWs. First, they calculated the content validity index (CVI) and the content validity ratio (CVR) based on six psychiatrists’ assessments. Then, 10 medical interns modified the questionnaire for face validity. In addition, 30 psychiatric residents contributed to the test-retest method to evaluate the intergroup correlation coefficient (ICC). Finally, they examined confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) for construct validity, based on the responses of participants to the scale, and they used Cronbach's alpha coefficient to assess the internal consistency. Results: 185 healthcare workers filled out the Persian version of the CAS. In the assessment of the content validity, all five questions of the CAS had CVI > 0.79 and CVR > 0.99, and all were statistically approved. The construct validity showed that the scale is one-dimensional. The internal consistency (Cronbach’s α= 0.878) and test-retest stability (ICC= 0.931) were accepted. Conclusions: After the localization of the questionnaire, no items were added or subtracted. The CAS presented adequate reliability and validity among Iranian HCWs.
