Remote working has become a demand in these historically unique times, and technology is a need for human life as a link to the outside world. People use technology to interact, communicate, and complete activities. Online meetings, audio and video conferencing, and leisure activities like online gaming, blogging, and social networking have virtualized human interaction, leading to a rapid digitalization of human life. The increased usage of video display terminals (VDTs) predisposes to a range of problems. Digital eye strain (DES) or computer vision syndrome (CVS) refers to a group of health disorders that include not only visual issues but also musculoskeletal issues. Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of CVS and to examine the use of digital screens, common symptoms, and related variables. The findings could in the future provide vital, detailed health information to all online users. Methods and Materials: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted from 1st July to 31st December, 2021. A total of 429 people participated in the study and majority of the participants were students and teachers involved in digital class rooms for academic purposes. A survey questionnaire was distributed on social media channels. Regular users of digital screens were provided with Google forms through social media. It includes both a questionnaire and an informed consent form. Results: Out of 429 participants in, 59.9% were females and 36.13% males.

While surgical resection remains the preferred treatment for early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in well-compensated cirrhosis patients, thermal ablation techniques offer a credible non-surgical option. Their minimal invasiveness, high tolerability, safety, established efficacy in local disease control, virtually unlimited repeatability, and cost-effectiveness render them valuable alternatives. Microwave ablation (MWA) of HCC appears to be a safe and effective treatment. Here we report a case of 53-year-old male, followed for hepatitis C complicated by compensated cirrhosis, During the follow up, Laboratory tests found liver function tests were eleveted, α-fetoprotein (AFP) was normal. Abdominal ultrasound showed a focal hepatic mass straddling segments VI and VIII, rounded, well-limited, with heterogeneous hyperechoic echostructure, and splenomegaly. Contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomography showed a chronic liver desease with a focal lesion straddling segments VI and VIII, oval, tissue-like, hypodense in the center, measuring 50x41mm, with signs of early arterial enhancement consistent with HCC characteristics and signs of portal hypertension and a multicystic kidney. Hepatic MRI revealed a chronic liver disease straddling segments VII and VIII of a hepatic lesion measuring 23x 22mm classified as Li-RADS 4 with signs of portal hypertension and splenomegaly. Based on these results, the patient was diagnosed as HCC with well compensated cirrhosis, and in view of the fact that he had only a single lesion and was in functional grade A of Child-Pugh classification and staged as BCLC-A in the Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) staging system, the patient benefited from microwave ablation for his HCC, with good clinical, biological and radiological evolution.

Hospital information systems (HIS) have become popular and used by most healthcare facilities, both public and private hospitals and clinics. For the best implementation of the health information system, it is necessary to know the reasons leading to failure or success. Objectives is to determine the main reasons for success and failure through a systematic review to help underdeveloped countries like Morocco, which is starting to implement the HIS. Methods: The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement was adhered during the conduct of this systematic review. This systematic review was based on the PubMed database, the Google Scholar search engine Scopus, and science Direct over a considered period of 10 years from 2013 to June 2023. We have included articles dealing with either success factors or failure factors following the implementation of a hospital information system that were published between 2013 and 2023. Results: 28 studies were selected to highlight 8 factors likely to cause success, the most important of which were organizational and behavioral factors containing sub-factors, and 6 factors likely to cause HIS failure, the most important of which was the technical factor. Conclusion: These factors must be considered by the personnel in charge of implementing new information systems to increase the chances of success and to minimize the reasons that can lead to the failure of these systems.","PeriodicalId":193141,"journal":{"name":"SAS Journal of Medicine","volume":"167 S353","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140256576","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}

The involvement of the posterior circulation is very rare. Its etiology is still poorly understood and represents 10 to 15% of the causes of strokes, with 2 age peaks where it is more frequent: children around 5 years and adults around 40 years.

The aim of our study is to assess the characteristics of perinephric hematoma and other prognostic factors of surgical intervention for high grade renal trauma independent of AAST OIS. Materials and Methods: A total of 119 patients with high grade renal trauma from January 2005 to September 2021 were identified for analysis. Hospital records and diagnostic imaging were reviewed to identify the need for surgical intervention, including total and partial nephrectomy. Factors examined include patient age, gender, ISS (Injury severity score), AAST-OIS, laceration location, length and number, perinephric hematoma characteristics, intravascular contrast extravasation and devitalised segment status. Descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression were performed as appropriate. Results: Mean patient age was 31, 39 and mean ISS was 22, 80. A total of 24 surgical intervention were required (20%) including partial and total nephrectomy. On univariate analysis, hypotension on admission, hematoma diameter, degree of devitalised fragment superior of 25% and AAST OIS grade were associated with the need of surgical intervention. On multivariate analysis, only hypotension on admission (p: 0,029), hematoma diameter greater than 3,5 cm (p:0,021) and AAST-OIS grade (p: 0,010) remained independently associated with surgical intervention. Conclusions: Perinephric hematoma size remains among prognostic factors for surgical intervention that allow better stratification of renal lesions and its study allows a better management of high-grade renal trauma.","PeriodicalId":193141,"journal":{"name":"SAS Journal of Medicine","volume":"38 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140265901","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}

Objective: To update the current research priorities in OH physiotherapy by expert consensus at an OH physiotherapy virtual meeting in the UK. Materials and Methods: A nominal group technique was used as a consensus technique. Fifteen participants with relevant qualifications and experience in OH physiotherapy agreed to participate and were handed the original list of research priorities and asked to rank it in order of their current importance. The resultant scores gave an indication of the level of consensus within the expert group. Participants were also asked to suggest other research topics of important that were not previously identified. These new topics were not used in the ranking process. Results: Following the expert ranking process eight topics were identified as key priorities providing an indication of where research funding ought to be directed. The benefits of OH physiotherapy based on health outcomes and return of investment was identified as the most important research to be undertaken.
