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.","PeriodicalId":44967,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Migration Health and Social Care","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135218430","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}

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.","PeriodicalId":44967,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Migration Health and Social Care","volume":"10 2-4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135265794","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}

This study aims to evaluate and assess the considerable changes in the mobility pattern and travel behavior of the residents of Lahore during lockdown which have slow down the virus’ spread. The mobility patterns were studied through Google database 1 in the form of google mobility reports. Data obtained from the COVID-19 website of Pakistan was examined by GIS and converted into statistical data comprising of graphs and figures by authors. The findings of this research are that the COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on transportation and air quality in Lahore, resulting in changes in travel behavior, reduced traffic congestion, and improved air quality, which have both positive and negative effects on public health and the environment. These findings indicate that the implementation of air quality control plans can lead to a significant improvement in air quality in Pakistan. However, the economic hardships caused by the pandemic also need to be addressed. This research shows that the public can adapt to changes in policies and travel behaviors during the pandemic.

This population was particularly impacted by this crisis, and some subgroups of young people, such as those from migration backgrounds, have been confronted with additional challenges. This paper aims to explore and describe the perspective and experience of migrant adolescents during the lockdown period Design/methodology/approach The authors performed 13 semi-structured interviews with migrant adolescents (nine females, median age 16) at the pediatric policlinic of Lausanne University Hospital in Switzerland between November 2020 and January 2021. Participants had been living in Switzerland for an average of 2.3 years. Three of them were staying in a refugee reception centre. A thematic content analysis was carried out to extract themes and topics. Findings Participants had difficulty understanding information about COVID-19 in general. Remote learning was described as stressful due to various factors and lockdown had an impact on their future plans, such as finding an apprenticeship. Some young people were already socially isolated, but families were generally supportive. They expressed particular concerns, such as the family’s financial situation and the difficulty of living in refugee reception centres. Practical implications In the event of further lockdown, special attention must be paid to these adolescents to ensure their proper development and integration. Comprehensive follow-up of this population during and after the pandemic is essential.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the assication between different post-migration stress factors and insomnia among Syrian refugees living in Norway. Design/methodology/approach The authors analysed survey data from the REFUGE study with 873 Syrian adults who resettled in Norway between 2015 and 2017. Potential participants were randomly selected from The Norwegian Population Register. Insomnia was measured using the Bergen Insomnia Scale. Perceived-discrimination, navigation difficulties, financial strain and loss of social status were measured via the refugee post-migration stress scale. The authors ran logistic regression analyses, controlling for socio-demographics, potentially traumatic experiences and symptoms of post-traumatic stress. Findings Overall, 59% (95% CI, 56%–62%) of the sample reported experiencing insomnia. In the fully-adjusted model, only financial strain and navigation difficulties were significantly associated with increased odds of insomnia. Loss of social status was also related to insomnia but only before adjusting for symptoms of post-traumatic stress. Originality/value Financial strain and navigation difficulties appear to be the most important post-migration stress factors in terms of insomnia among Syrian refugees living in Norway. Ameliorating these difficulties could potentially reduce insomnia among refugees. Since insomnia is a risk factor for the subsequent development of post-traumatic stress and depression, it is important to prevent or improve symptoms of insomnia among Syrian refugees, especially considering the high prevalence found in this study.","PeriodicalId":44967,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Migration Health and Social Care","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135667169","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}
