Aircraft Wastewater Surveillance As A Tool For Monitoring Disease In The Pacific, Carla J. Eaton, Joanne R. Chapman, Brent J. Gilpin

Pacific Journal of Health

Wastewater surveillance is a powerful tool for monitoring infectious diseases within a population. However, as most wastewater surveillance relies on interconnected wastewater networks to provide samples representative of the population, many Pacific Islands have been excluded from benefiting from this tool due to their lack of reticulated sewerage systems. Many diseases of concern for the Pacific are detectable in wastewater even though individuals may be asymptomatic. We investigated whether analysis of wastewater from aircraft arriving in New Zealand from Pacific Island nations could be used as a proxy for in-country surveillance. Flights from the Pacific arrive in Auckland daily, with …

Integrating Artificial Intelligence Into Fnp/Dnp Simulation To Enhance Clinical Competency, Doris K. Gonzales

SACAD: Scholarly Activities

Abstract  

This poster presents a theoretically grounded, AI-integrated simulation program design structured across 3-4 semesters of Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) and Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) education. This program is designed to support the development of clinical judgment and diagnostic reasoning among FNP students. Guided by Tanner’s Clinical Judgment Model and Roy's Adaptive Model as Theoretical Framework. The program addresses identified gaps in differential diagnosis and role transition from Registered Nurse (RN) to FNP practice. A needs assessment informed the development of a semester-sequenced curricular framework integrating AI-supported simulation across four semesters.

Introduction. Community Acquired Pneumonia (CAP) is a lung parenchyma infection acquired outside of the hospital and is significantly associated with morbidity and mortality rates. Identifying patients with moderate-severe CAP at high risk of mortality through a combination of these variables is expected to serve as a basis for prompt and appropriate intervention, ultimately improving clinical outcomes for CAP patients. This study aimed to develop a scoring system using clinical characteristics, radiological findings, and serum biomarkers to assess the mortality risk in patients with moderate-severe CAP.

Methods. This study employs a retrospective cohort design with moderate-severe CAP patients treated …

Jurnal Penyakit Dalam Indonesia

Prediabetes is a metabolic condition of impaired glucose homeostasis which results in elevated blood glucose levels. Besides the higher risk of developing diabetes, prediabetes is associated with increased risk of cancer, dementia, heart failures, and coronary artery disease. The common first line treatment regimen given to this group are healthy diet and aerobic exercise. However, some conditions might prevent patients from doing aerobic exercises therefore there is a need for alternatives. This evidence-based case report aims to evaluate the benefit of resistance training on HbA1c levels compared to control group (no exercise) in prediabetic adults.

Koeksistensi Spondiloartritis Perifer Dan Fokal Segmental Glomerulosklerosis: Sebuah Laporan Kasus Jarang, Zakiya Zulaifah, Florentina Carolin Puspita Hapsari, Virly Nanda Muzellina

Jurnal Penyakit Dalam Indonesia

Spondyloarthritis is a group of inflammatory rheumatic diseases characterized by shared clinical features, genetic predispositions, and pathogenic mechanisms. Without appropriate management, it carries a risk of various complications. We report the case of a young male patient with a one-year history of nephrotic syndrome prior to admission, presenting with chronic polyarthritis. Initially, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with renal and musculoskeletal involvement was suspected, although SLE is relatively uncommon in young males. However, based on the clinical presentation of arthritis, imaging findings of sacroiliitis, and the absence of diagnostic criteria supporting SLE, the patient was subsequently diagnosed with peripheral spondyloarthritis and …

Measles is a highly contagious viral infection that remains a significant global health problem despite the availability of an effective vaccine. Measles re-emergence is driven by gaps in immunization coverage, waning post-vaccination immunity, and increased population mobility. In adults, measles infection is associated with greater disease severity compared to children. This literature review was conducted by reviewing recent scientific publications addressing the epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, management, complications, and prevention of measles, with a focus on the adult population.  Measles is caused by an RNA virus of the Paramyxoviridae family and is transmitted through respiratory droplets and aerosols. Typical …

The agricultural sector is the primary source of livelihood for communities in Southeast Asia; however, these activities increase the risk of exposure to zoonotic diseases, particularly leptospirosis. Southeast Asia is one of the regions with the highest incidence of leptospirosis in the world. This literature review aims to identify risk factors for leptospirosis among agricultural workers in Southeast Asia. The search for research articles utilized three databases (Google Scholar, PubMed, and ScienceDirect) using a descriptive approach based on literature review and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. A total of 9,800 articles were screened for …

Limb Dominance Does Not Affect Single-Leg Hop Performance In Non-Injured Young Athletes, Rawan Aldhabi

Journal of Medical Rehabilitation Science

Background: The concept of leg dominance is important in clinical settings. Single-leg hop (SLH) tests are frequently used to assess injury-risk and guide return-to-sport decision after lower-limb injury, yet the influence of limb dominance on SLH performance in non-injured young athletes remains unclear. The aim of the study was to examine the influence of limb dominance on SLH test performance in young healthy athletes, and to explore the relationships among different types of SLH tests. Methods: Forty-seven healthy collegiate athletes (mean age 21.44 ± 3.5 years; 26 males and 21 females) completed three SLH tests: single hop for distance (SHD), …

A Pathogenic Tau Mutation Drives Autophagy-Lysosome Dysfunction That Limits Tau Degradation In A Model Of Frontotemporal Dementia, Farzaneh S Mirfakhar, Jacob A Marsh, Chihiro Sato, Kylie J Schache, Miguel A Minaya, Roland E Dolle, Stephen C Pak, Gary A Silverman, David H Perlmutter, Shannon L Macauley, Celeste M Karch

2020-Current year OA Pubs

Tau accumulates in a group of neurodegenerative diseases known as tauopathies. A prevailing hypothesis has been that Tau degradation is impaired due to an age-related imbalance in the autophagy-lysosome pathway, but whether these defects are a cause or consequence of Tau accumulation remains unclear. Here we show that a disease-causing mutation in the MAPT gene, which encodes Tau, p.R406W, is sufficient to disrupt multiple steps of the autophagy-lysosome pathway in human neurons. Using Airyscan super-resolution imaging, we find that mutant Tau neurons accumulate Tau and phosphorylated Tau in dysfunctional lysosomes, exhibit reduced lysosome motility, impaired fusion of autophagosomes and lysosomes, …

Stunting is a chronic condition that has a significant impact on child development. This phenomenon is primarily caused by prolonged nutritional deficiency, especially during the first 1,000 days of life. In addition, as family factors also play a crucial role in children’s development, this study aims to analyze the influence of child and family characteristics, mother–child attachment, parenting practices, and the nutritional status of children (stunted/non-stunted) on children’s gross motor, fine motor, language, and personal–social skills. This study used a quantitative design with an explanatory approach involving 202 mother–child pairs with children aged 12–36 months. The findings show that healthcare …
