{"title":"Can the Internal Nasal Valves Method Be a Game Changer for Preventing Respiratory Tract Infections?","authors":"Ashok B. Varma","doi":"10.25259/ijtmrph_12_2024","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.25259/ijtmrph_12_2024","url":null,"abstract":"An anaphylactic reaction to the influenza vaccine prompted a search for a non-pharmacological way to prevent respiratory tract infections (RTIs) using the internal nasal valves and the innate immune system. The anatomy and physics of the internal nasal valves, using Bernoulli’s principle, can produce a Venturi effect and suction out the pathogen-laden secretions of the nasal cavities, sinuses, nasolacrimal ducts, and Eustachian tubes. The very effective innate immune system could then neutralize these pathogens.\u0000This self-experimentation describes The Internal Nasal Valves (INVals) Method developed by the author for RTIs’ prevention in 1979 and its regular practice since with full compliance and discipline. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic provided him with an opportunity for self-experimentation to perform a trial of The INVals Method on himself despite his age of 73 years and the possibility of highly adverse outcomes.\u0000The author observed, enjoyed, and was impressed with the benefits of The INVals Method during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. As of this writing, he has not suffered from any RTIs since using The INVals Method in 1979.\u0000The author’s experiment is a real-world experiment and suggests that The INVals Method may help prevent RTIs and be an ally and complement to the vaccines. Further investigations to test, retest, and test more of the author’s experiment with rigorous randomized controlled trials (RCTs)/cohort RCTs/cluster randomized trials are warranted to support his results. If future research proves that the author’s results are correct and meaningful, it may have a broader clinical impact across medicine as an ally of vaccines, especially in the developing countries where there can be lag period in acquisition and administration of vaccines.","PeriodicalId":93768,"journal":{"name":"International journal of translational medical research and public health","volume":"7 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141804497","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}

Fathers’ involvement during pregnancy positively impacts maternal behaviors and birth outcomes. Lack of voluntary paternity acknowledgment (PA) at birth implies potential limited paternal involvement. This study explores the association between mothers with a history of ACEs and PA status for their infants.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000Using secondary data from the Monroe County Mothers and Babies Health Survey and logistic regression modeling, we assessed the odds of court-mandated paternity affidavit (CM-PA) associated with maternal ACEs. Univariate analyses were conducted first, with additional variables included subsequently.\u0000\u0000\u0000Of the 1,556 mothers with legal paternity established for their infants, 279 (18%) had a CM-PA for their infants, and 1,277 (82%) had a PA established voluntarily (vPA). Mothers of infants with CM-PA were more likely to be Black or Hispanic, had lower income and education, had higher substance use and traumatic stress, and had lower social support. A one-point increase in maternal ACE total score was associated with 14% higher odds of CM-PA (OR = 1.14; 95% CI, 1.03–1.27). Maternal experience of household dysfunction was linked to 83% higher odds of CM-PA (OR = 1.83; 95% CI, 1.23–2.71) while living with a problem drinker or drug user during childhood was associated with 70% higher odds of CM-PA (OR = 1.70; 95% CI, 1.09–2.65).\u0000\u0000\u0000This study suggests a potential link between maternal ACEs and CM-PA, implying possible lower father involvement for the infants whose mothers experienced adverse events in childhood.

In Tanzania, there is an exponential increase in barbershops and beauty salons, which are potential sites of transmission of HBV. Occupational exposure rates and HBV vaccination rates among salon workers are unknown; their level of knowledge about infection prevention and control (IPC) is also unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the risk of infection and the knowledge of barbers and beauty salon workers about HBV transmission and prevention.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000A cross-sectional study was conducted using a convenience sample of 200 barbers and beauty salon workers from 13 barber shops and 13 beauty salons in the urban district of Mwanza, Tanzania. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire, entered into EpiData version 3.1, and analyzed with Stata version 13. Categorical variables were expressed as frequencies, and association levels were compared using Fisher’s exact test.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000Fifty-four percent of the study participants were female, and the mean age was 25 (21.0–29.5) years. A total of 126 (63%) participants were aware of the existence of HBV infection, of which only 22% had general good knowledge of HBV transmission and prevention. Both HBV awareness (P < 0.001) and good knowledge of its transmission and prevention (P = 0.03) were positively associated with higher levels of education. Seventy-three (36.5%) participants reported a history of occupational injuries. Merely 27.8% of participants were familiar with the correct methods of decontamination beauty tools, and only 14.3% understood the correct procedures for post-exposure wound care. Vaccination coverage was low with only (2%) of barbers and beauty salon workers having received vaccines.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000The frequent occupational injuries and inadequate vaccination among barbers and beauty salon workers amplify their risk of HBV infection. They also lack basic knowledge about HBV transmission and prevention, placing the clients they serve at high risk for infection.

Using the latest nationally representative data, we examine geographic disparities in prevalence of Long COVID and severe COVID symptoms among United States (US) adults aged ≥18 years. Methods: We analyzed five consecutive rounds of the US Census Bureau’s Household Pulse Survey from June 1 to October 17, 2022 (N=108,064). Using multivariable logistic regression and health disparity indices, we modeled disparities in Long COVID and severe COVID symptoms by state and metropolitan area, controlling for race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, health insurance, and other demographic characteristics. Results: During June–October 2022, an estimated 35.4 million or 32.2% of COVID patients in the US reported developing Long COVID; and 15.2 million or 13.8% of COVID patients reported experiencing severe COVID symptoms. The prevalence of Long COVID ranged from 24.0% in the District of Columbia (DC), 25.4% in Hawaii to 39.2% in Alabama, 39.9% in Wyoming, and 43.6% in West Virginia. Adjusted for covariates, adults with COVID-19 diagnosis in Alabama, Wyoming, and West Virginia had 48-178% higher adjusted odds of developing Long COVID than their counterparts in DC. Adults with COVID-19 diagnosis in Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Iowa, Kentucky, Mississippi, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota,Texas, Utah, Virginia, Wyoming, and West Virginia had 2.0-2.5 times higher adjusted odds of experiencing severe COVID symptoms than their counterparts in Vermont. Large disparities in prevalence of Long COVID and severe COVID symptoms existed among the 15 largest metropolitan areas of the US, with the prevalence of Long COVID ranging from 21.9% in San Francisco to 38.0% in Riverside, California. Socioeconomic, demographic and health insurance characteristics explained 34% of the state-level disparity and 45% of the metropolitan-area disparity in Long COVID prevalence. Conclusion and Implications for Translation: Marked geographic disparities existed, with COVID patients/survivors in the Southeast, Southwest, and Northern Plains states being at substantially higher risks of developing Long COVID and severe COVID symptoms.

Although inequalities in COVID-19 prevalence and to a lesser extent in Long COVID and related mental health impact among US adults have been documented, disparities in COVID-related outcomes by industrial sector of employment, an important social determinant, have not been studied. Using the latest nationally representative data, we examine disparities in COVID-19, Long COVID, and associated mental health impact among US adults aged ≥18 years by industrial sector. Methods: Using three consecutive rounds of the US Census Bureau’s Household Pulse Survey from September 14 to November 14, 2022 (N=148,813), disparities in COVID-related outcomes by industrial sector were modeled by multivariable logistic regression after controlling for race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, health insurance, and other demographic characteristics. Results: During September–November 2022, an estimated 117 million or 48.7% of US adults reported having been diagnosed with COVID-19; 34.3 million or 29.4% of COVID patients reported developing Long COVID; 14.7 million or 12.6% of COVID patients reported experiencing severe COVID symptoms; 10.7% of COVID patients reported serious depression, and 17.8% reported serious anxiety. Adjusted for covariates, workers in wholesale trade, finance and insurance, educational services, healthcare, social assistance, and accommodation and food services had 30-39% higher odds of being diagnosed with COVID-19 than workers in the agricultural sector. Workers in social assistance, real estate, utilities, construction, and healthcare sectors had 48-102% higher adjusted odds of developing Long COVID than workers in wholesale trade.

This paper examines whether Project Ujjwal meaningfully increased the usage of family planning methods and maternal health services to determine whether the Ujjwall program model should be expanded in India. This is the first attempt to establish the causal impact of Project Ujjwal on access to reproductive healthcare in India.\u0000Methods: Data were obtained from the National Family Health Survey of India. A difference-in-differences strategy and linear probability models were used to estimate the likelihood of ever having encountered family planning information or ever having used contraceptives, antenatal care, etc.\u0000Results: The sample size for Odisha was 4,540; the sample size for Bihar was 3,818; the total sample size for all states in the control group was 24,922. Within Odisha and Bihar, Project Ujjwal increased the likelihood of ever having used any contraceptive by 8.9%, increased the likelihood of having ever accessed antenatal care from a licensed doctor or nurse by 2.5% and increased the likelihood of having ever encountered family planning media by 5.1%. However, most results seem differentially driven by the success of the program in either Odisha or Bihar: among all results, only the odds that a woman received delivery assistance (2.8%) and the odds that a woman will have used oral contraceptives by (9.3%) increased statistically significant in both states.\u0000Conclusion and Implications for Translation: These results are promising and show Project Ujjwal may have been more effective than existing government programs. Limitations of this analysis include a lack of information about the demand generation tactics and an inability to include state-level fixed effects due to over-specification concerns. Disparities in the impact of Project Ujjwal on Bihar and Odisha and the lack of specific information about latent demand both suggest the need for further investigation.\u0000 \u0000Copyright © 2023 Lokhande.
