Investigation of the Relationship between Mindful Eating Behavior and Anthropometric Measurements of Individuals Applying to a Nutrition And Diet Policlinic
The calorie restriction used in obesity treatment cannot be sustainable in long-term treatments. For these reasons, different interventions are needed in addition to calorie restrictive applications.
This research, which was planned and applied in a descriptive and cross-sectional pattern, was conducted in individuals over the age of 18 who applied to the Nutrition and Diet Policlinic of a private hospital. In the research, Mindful Eating Questionnaire was applied to measure individuals' socio-demographic characteristics and anthropometric information and mindful eating. NCSS (Number Cruncher Statistical System) 2007 program was used for statistical analysis.The research was carried out on 200 individuals, 81.5% of whom were women and 18.5% were men. The ages of the cases ranged between 18 and 68, with an average of 30.52 ± 10.01 years. Mindful Eating Questionnaire total scores are 3.19 ± 0.52 on average; 66.0% of cases have a score of 3 or above. Thus, healthy weight loss is achieved by reducing total calorie content. Future studies should be done to provide a standardization in the teaching of mindful eating and to demonstrate the long-term effect between disease and mindful eating. A negative correlation was found between BMI measurements and total scores in women (p <0.05). While there was a statistically significant relationship between waist circumference and hip circumference measurements and total scores in women (p <0.05), This difference was not statistically significant in men (p> 0.05). In addition to calorie restriction, it can be seen that improving mindful eating behavior may decrease body weight in obesity treatment. Therefore, it is recommended to include mindful eating application in diet treatments.

The Severe Maternal Morbidity in the Kisanga Health Zone in Lubumbashi, South of the Democratic Republic of Congo
ABSTRACT
While maternal death has traditionally been the primary indicator of maternal outcomes, the prevalence of severe pregnancy complications - or severe maternal morbidities - can provide a more complete picture of maternal and perinatal health issues when considered in conjunction with maternal deaths. The objectives of this work were to determine the prevalence of severe maternal morbidity, the socio-demographic characteristics of the patients, the conditions of admission and care as well as maternal and perinatal outcomes. All women with severe maternal morbidity during 4 months of a descriptive cross-sectional study with prospective harvest in the health zone of Kisanga in Lubumbashi were included in the study. These included cases of anemia, obstructed labor, hemorrhage, infections and high blood pressure. About one patient on ten received in maternity hospitals in Lubumbashi presented with severe maternal morbidity. Genital haemorrhages (44.6%), gestational hypertension (30.9%) and obstructed labor (14.4%) accounted for nearly 90% of the causes of severe maternal morbidity. Only three percent of the patients had access to a blood bank, 30% of the patients could have the opinion of a Obstetrician-Obstetrician and only one in five patients remained in intensive care if necessary. The patients were young, married for most, coming from a semi-urban environment with a low socio-economic level. No patient in this series had used the ambulance to get to the maternity ward. Maternal and perinatal mortality were 859 per 100,000 live births and 50 per 1,000 live births, respectively.The prevention and management of severe maternal morbidities requires an efficient and fully functional health system.

Patients et méthode : Il s’agit d’une étude rétrospective de type analytique réalisée du 01 janvier 2015 au 31 décembre 2019 ; soit cinq ans. Etaient inclus tous les patients ayant présenté un traumatisme crânien grave isolé avec un GCS inférieur ou égal à 8 après correction des fonctions vitales ainsi que ceux qui ont dégradé leur GCS dans les 24 heures. Les données ont été traitées et analysées par les logiciels SPSS 17 et Excel.
Résultats : Durant la période d’étude 160 cas ont été colligé ; L’âge moyen de nos patients était 38,7 ans avec des extrêmes allant de 18 ans à 75 ans, On note une prédominance de sexe masculin avec un sexe ration de 5,6. La majorité de nos patients n’avaient aucun antécédent (78,75%), les comorbidités étaient dominés par le diabète et l’hypertension artérielle. Les Accidents de la voie publique étaient la cause principale du traumatisme crânien grave avec une fréquence de 67,50% suivis par des chutes d’une hauteur avec réception sur le crâne (22,50%). Le GCS moyen de nos patients était de 6,15 avec des extrêmes allant de 3 à 8. Tous les patients avaient eu recours à la ventilation mécanique, au cathétérisme central et au sondage vésical. L’antibioprophylaxie préalable avait été administrée chez 30,62% de nos patients, 41,25% de nos patients avaient été trachéotomisés durant leur séjour en réanimation. Durant leur séjour en réanimation, 97 (60,62%) de nos patients avaient présentés un ou plusieurs épisodes d’état septique (sepsis, sepsis sévère, choc septique). La localisation pulmonaire des états septiques était la plus fréquente (58,76%) suivie par la localisation systémique (15,46%), puis la méningites et Ventriculites (12,37%). Les germes isolés sont dominés par l’Acinetobacter Baumannii (42,96%) suivi de Klebsiella Pneumonia (16,40%) et le Pseudomonas aerugenosa (13,28%). La durée moyenne de séjour était de 28,25 jours avec des extrêmes allant de 5 à 102 jours. La durée de séjour chez le groupe infecté était nettement supérieure à celle du groupe non infecté ; la mortalité globale de nos patients était de 67,75%. Parmi les 97 patients ayant présentés un état septique 72 patients étaient décédés soit un taux de mortalité de 74,22%. Après une analyse analytique entre le groupe des patients ayant développés un état septique et le groupe des patients sans état septique, aucune difference significative n’avait été relevé en termes d’âge, en termes de sexe, en termes des comorbidités, en termes de lésions cérébrales entre les 2 groupes. La durée moyenne de la ventilation mécanique est un facteur influençant les états septiques dans notre étude (P < 0,0001). La trachéotomie est considérée comme un facteur influençant les états septiques (P<0,02), L’antibiothérapie préalable constitue un facteur influençant les états septiques (P<0,009). La différence en termes de mortalité est significative entre les deux groupes, la survenue d’un état septique avait une influence significative sur la durée de séjour et la mortalité des traumatisés crâniens graves isolés (P = 0,003).
Conclusion : Les patients ayant une lésion traumatique cérébrale sont particulièrement susceptibles de contracter des infections et de développer un état septique, entraînant des lésions secondaires responsables de l’augmentation du taux de la morbimortalité. Les facteurs favorisants sont multiples, liés aux conditions géographiques, aux malades et aux gestes invasifs.

Conclusion : Les patients ayant une lésion traumatique cérébrale sont particulièrement susceptibles de contracter des infections et de développer un état septique, entraînant des lésions secondaires responsables de l’augmentation du taux de la morbimortalité. Les facteurs favorisants sont multiples, liés aux conditions géographiques, aux malades et aux gestes invasifs.
Facteurs De Risques Du Sepsis Chez Les Traumatises Craniens Graves.
Patients et méthode : Il s’agit d’une étude rétrospective de type analytique réalisée du 01 janvier 2015 au 31 décembre 2019 ; soit cinq ans. Etaient inclus tous les patients ayant présenté un traumatisme crânien grave isolé avec un GCS inférieur ou égal à 8 après correction des fonctions vitales ainsi que ceux qui ont dégradé leur GCS dans les 24 heures. Les données ont été traitées et analysées par les logiciels SPSS 17 et Excel.
Résultats : Durant la période d’étude 160 cas ont été colligé ; L’âge moyen de nos patients était 38,7 ans avec des extrêmes allant de 18 ans à 75 ans, On note une prédominance de sexe masculin avec un sexe ration de 5,6. La majorité de nos patients n’avaient aucun antécédent (78,75%), les comorbidités étaient dominés par le diabète et l’hypertension artérielle. Les Accidents de la voie publique étaient la cause principale du traumatisme crânien grave avec une fréquence de 67,50% suivis par des chutes d’une hauteur avec réception sur le crâne (22,50%). Le GCS moyen de nos patients était de 6,15 avec des extrêmes allant de 3 à 8. Tous les patients avaient eu recours à la ventilation mécanique, au cathétérisme central et au sondage vésical. L’antibioprophylaxie préalable avait été administrée chez 30,62% de nos patients, 41,25% de nos patients avaient été trachéotomisés durant leur séjour en réanimation. Durant leur séjour en réanimation, 97 (60,62%) de nos patients avaient présentés un ou plusieurs épisodes d’état septique (sepsis, sepsis sévère, choc septique). La localisation pulmonaire des états septiques était la plus fréquente (58,76%) suivie par la localisation systémique (15,46%), puis la méningites et Ventriculites (12,37%). Les germes isolés sont dominés par l’Acinetobacter Baumannii (42,96%) suivi de Klebsiella Pneumonia (16,40%) et le Pseudomonas aerugenosa (13,28%). La durée moyenne de séjour était de 28,25 jours avec des extrêmes allant de 5 à 102 jours. La durée de séjour chez le groupe infecté était nettement supérieure à celle du groupe non infecté ; la mortalité globale de nos patients était de 67,75%. Parmi les 97 patients ayant présentés un état septique 72 patients étaient décédés soit un taux de mortalité de 74,22%. Après une analyse analytique entre le groupe des patients ayant développés un état septique et le groupe des patients sans état septique, aucune difference significative n’avait été relevé en termes d’âge, en termes de sexe, en termes des comorbidités, en termes de lésions cérébrales entre les 2 groupes. La durée moyenne de la ventilation mécanique est un facteur influençant les états septiques dans notre étude (P < 0,0001). La trachéotomie est considérée comme un facteur influençant les états septiques (P<0,02), L’antibiothérapie préalable constitue un facteur influençant les états septiques (P<0,009). La différence en termes de mortalité est significative entre les deux groupes, la survenue d’un état septique avait une influence significative sur la durée de séjour et la mortalité des traumatisés crâniens graves isolés (P = 0,003).

Susceptibility of Enterococcus Faecalis to the Antibacterial Effect of Various Metabolites of the Mammea Americana Seed
Background: Enterococcus faecalis has been identified as one of the main microorganisms that cause oral infections, especially those of endodontic origin, due to its broad multi-drug-resistant spectrum. Some studies have demonstrated antibacterial activity of Mammea Americana, most of them have focused on extracts obtained from leaves and bark but few indicate an antibacterial activity of plant seeds. Objective: To evaluate antibacterial activity of different metabolites present in Mammea Americana seed extracts against Enterococcus faecalis ATCC (51299). Materials and methods: previously crushed and cold macerated dry plant material was used, employing ethanol as solvent, which was concentrated under reduced pressure and of which four (4) additional organic extracts with solvents of different polarities were obtained. Extracts were solubilized in DMSO and antibacterial activity was measured using the 96-well plates broth microdilution technique in a concentration range of 50 to 500 mg/L, using kanamycin as a positive control and DMSO as a negative control. Results: All evaluated extracts showed inhibitory activity against Enterococcus faecalis. Hexanoic (BMI 100 mg/L) and chloroformic extracts (BMI 200 mg/L) showed higher inhibitory activity. Conclusions: Obtained extracts revealed a variety of secondary metabolites, principally coumarins. All extracts showed inhibitory activity. Hexanoic extracts (BMI 100 mg/L) and chloroformic extracts (BMI 200mg/L) stood out as extracts with the highest activity.

The Contents of Nineteen Chemical Elements in Thyroid Malignant Nodules and Thyroid Tissue adjacent to Nodules investigated using X-Ray Fluorescence and Neutron Activation Analysis
Background: Thyroid malignant nodules (TMNs) are the most common endocrine cancer and the fifth most frequently occurring type of malignancies. The etiology and pathogenesis of TMNs must be considered as multifactorial.
Objectives: The present study was performed to clarify the role of some chemical elements (ChEs) in the etiology of these thyroid disorders.
Methods: Thyroid tissue levels of nineteen ChEs including silver (Ag), calcium (Ca), chlorine (Cl), cobalt (Co), chromium (Cr), cooper (Cu), iron (Fe), mercury (Hg), iodine (I), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), manganese (Mn), sodium (Na), rubidium (Rb), ammonium (Sb), scandium (Sc), selenium (Se), strontium (Sr), and zinc (Zn) were prospectively evaluated in malignant tumor and tissue adjacent to tumor of 41 patients with TMNs. Measurements were performed using a combination of non-destructive methods X-ray fluorescence and instrumental neutron activation analysis with high resolution spectrometry of short- and long-lived radionuclides. Results of the study were additionally compared with previously obtained data for the same ChEs in “normal” thyroid tissue.
Results: The common characteristics of TMNs in comparison with “normal” thyroid and visually “intact” thyroid tissue adjacent to malignant tumors were elevated levels of Cl and K, as well as drastically reduced level of I. Furthermore, the ChEs composition of thyroid tissue adjacent to tumor did not equal ChEs contents of “normal” thyroid. Moreover, contents of such elements as Ag, Hg, I, and Se in adjacent tissue were higher than in tumor.
Conclusions: The excessive accumulation of Ag, Hg, I, and Se by thyroid tissue is likely to precede the TMNs origination and development. Elevated levels of Cl and K, as well as drastically reduced level of I in cancerous tissue could possibly be explored for differential diagnosis of benign and malignant thyroid nodules

Causes of Medication Error in Nursing
Ensuring patient safety is the primary goal of the healthcare facility. It is the duty of every healthcare professional involved in patient care to collaborate to administer medication safely without errors. Medication errors can happen in every healthcare facility; they can cause patient harm, delay in discharges, financial burdens, and stressful events for the families. Medication errors can have multiple causes in different settings. Optimal and standard integration of medication safety principles and practices comes from leadership, nursing commitment, and the nursing knowledge of causes and how to avoid medication errors and what leads to medication errors. A culture of medication safety shines in an environment of learning and interprofessional collaboration under the umbrella of a transformational leadership style of commitment to patient safety, high-quality, and effective care. This article will elaborate on the common causes and solutions for medication errors made by nurses.

Initial presenting symptoms and severity of SARS-CoV-2 Wild type, the Delta variant and the Omicron variant infected cases in early fourth wave of epidemics in Myanmar
The “severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2” (SARSCoV-2) is also known as “coronavirus disease 19” (COVID-19). It originated in Wuhan, Hubei province, People’s Republic of China, in December 2019; and, it spread worldwide causing a global pandemic. Genetic variants of SARS-CoV-2 have been emerging and circulating around the world throughout the COVID-19 pandemic till 2022: original (wild-type), Alpha, Beta, Delta, and Gamma. In third wave, the notorious variant was the Delta variant; it was well-known for quick transmissibility, causing high morbidity and mortality. In late November, the Omicron variant was first detected in South Africa. Therefore, evidences are required about the transmissibility and virulence among several variants and old Wild type.
