Background: Surgical procedure is one of the stressors that can end up with psychological disorders such as anxiety. Anxiety can lead to increased blood pressure and the risk of bleeding. Receiving detailed information on the surgical procedure is a patient's right. The information provided is expected to reduce patient anxiety and foster good relations between health workers and patients. Considering the importance of this step, we study the effect of pre-operative information before surgical procedures based on the published literature. This study aimed to summarize the previous research that elaborates on the relationship between education pre-operative and anxiety.Method: A literature review was used in this study. Google Scholar, PubMed, and ProQuest databases were chosen as data sources. We sough article published during 2016-2021. In total, 450 articles were screened using inclusion and exclusion criteria for analysis.Results: Eight articles reported that there was an effect of education on patient anxiety.Conclusion: Providing education is an effective approach to reduce patient anxiety.

Objective. Studying of impact of a human placenta hydrolysate on regeneration of intestinal anastomosis and prophylaxis of their sutures insufficiency. Materials and methods. Experimental investigations were conducted on two groups of rabbits. In every group a simulation model of an acute strangulation ileus was created. In a one day a relaparotomy, resection of necrotized intestinal segments with anastomosing in a “side-to-side” fashion were done in rabbits of both groups. After the operation the control group rabbits have obtained a standard treatment, while in the main group the rabbits together with a standard treatment have obtained a human placenta hydrolysate preparation «Laennec». On the days 3, 5, 7 and 15th the according intestinal segments were probed for morpho-histochemical investigations. Clinical investigations were conducted in 122 patients, consisting of resection of intestinal segments with formation of anastomoses. The control group consisted of 60 patients, and the main one – in 62. The data of the control group were studied retrospectively. In the main group the patients, together with a standard treatment, a human placenta hydrolysate in a form of preparation “Laennec” was applied for prophylaxis of insufficiency of the intestinal anastomoses sutures. Results. Basing on experimental results it may be stressed, that application of preparation «Laennec» strengthens regeneration and angiogenesis in zone of anastomosis, because in animals of the main group, comparing with a control one, high mitotic index, good angiogenesis and the motor-evacuation function integrity were noted. In clinical practice the anastomotic sutures insufficiency in the control group have occurred in 13.3% of observations, and in the main group – in 1.6% of observations. Conclusion. Application of the human placenta hydrolysate for prophylaxis of the sutures insufficiency in intestinal anastomoses is affordable due to successive clinical and experimental data obtained.

INTRODUCTION: Perforation of tympanic membrane constitutes a major portion of patients attending ENT OPD for which they are advised surgical procedures. Most of the cases with small perforations can be managed by doing OPD procedure of cautery patching and hence surgical procedure can be avoided. METHODS: The study was conducted in the tertiary hospital from August 2018 to July 2019. The patients were selected on the basis of the inclusion criteria after doing clinical examination, and audiometry. All the patients underwent cautery patching with tincture ferri perchloride and patch placed. The patients were followed up weekly till the perforation was completely closed or uptill 3 months. RESULTS: Total of 65 patients was included in the study. Most common etiology of perforation was inflammatory involving anteroinferior quadrant as most common etiology with success achieved in 56 patients. CONCLUSION: patients with small central dry perforation of tympanic membrane, cautery patching using tincture ferri per chloride and paper patching gives good results comparing to the surgical procedure, while ablating the morbidity and psychological trauma of the surgery.

Alexithymia is a construct defined as the inability to differentiate between emotional experiences and bodily sensations. According to existing knowledge, alexithymia may have a major effect on the process of treatment and the outcome of the hemodialysis disease. The objective of this literature review was to determine the significance that alexithymia has for compliance and variables of clinical and mental health in the population of hemodialysis patients. For the above purpose, bibliographic databases “MEDLINE” and “Web of Science” were searched. The matrix method was used in analysis of articles. Searching both databases resulted in 248 articles. After applying exclusion and inclusion criteria, we included results of 13 articles in the literature review. The results of the search are findings regarding the prevalence and correlation of alexithymia with variables of clinical and mental health in hemodialysis patients. Alexithymia is significantly more common in the population of hemodialysis patients, and it has a negative effect on their mental and somatic health. Alexithymia levels in hemodialysis patients are more pronounced in cases where there is a greater number of comorbidities. Alexithymia is the predictor of high mortality rate in the population of hemodialysis patients, independent of other comorbidities.

The computer science (CS) unplugged approach intends to teach CS concepts and computational thinking skills without employing any digital tools. The current study conducted a systematic literature review to analyze research studies that conducted investigations related to implementations of CS unplugged activities. A systematic review procedure was developed and applied to detect and subsequently review relevant research studies published from 2010 to 2019. It was found that 55 research studies (17 articles + 38 conference proceedings) satisfied the inclusion criteria for the analysis. These research studies were then examined with regard to their demographic characteristics, research methodologies, research results, and main findings. It was found that the unplugged approach was realized and utilized differently among researchers. The majority of the studies used the CS unplugged term when referring to “paper–pencil activities,” “problem solving,” “storytelling,” “games,” “tangible programming,” and even “robotics.”

Abstract Objectives The German Society of Craniomandibular Function and Disorders recommends that patients suffering from temporomandibular dysfunctions should practice sports in order to compensate for everyday stress. This raises the question as to what extent competitive athletes develop temporomandibular dysfunctions or whether their athletic activities protect them. With the present literature review, the authors intend to give an overview of the currently available publications on this topic. Materials and methods A literature research in the PubMed and Google Scholar databases was performed to filter out the currently available publications on the topic ‚sports, and temporomandibular dysfunction. Results Out of 114 available articles, seven met the inclusion criteria. Two other relevant articles were found in the list of references, so that in total, nine publications were picked for the review. In case numbers ranging from eight to 347 subjects, a temporomandibular dysfunction was detected with a prevalence between 11.7% and 100% for athletes and between 11.11% and 14.3% for non-athletes. Different kinds of sports were evaluated, all of them contact sports: basketball, handball, wrestling, boxing, karate, mixed martial arts, field hockey, water polo, and soccer. One study compared athletes with and without consumption of anabolic steroids, regardless of the type of sport. The level of athletic performance varied across the different studies. Conclusions Currently, studies dealing with the effect of competitive sports on temporomandibular dysfunction are scarce. Inconsistent methodological procedures permit only limited comparability. Clinical relevance A general trend, however, can already be discerned: professional athletes suffer from temporomandibular dysfunctions more frequently than non-athletes.

Histopathological Results

Most reported cases of middle ear adenoma (MEA) have focused on histopathology because MEA is usually diagnosed postoperatively, which is considered as a major setback. We focused on the surgical aspect of the disease to facilitate a preoperative diagnosis, resulting in prompt and proper treatment, without requiring a second stage of surgical treatment. In this report, we present the differential diagnoses in a 40-year-old man with MEA requiring surgical treatment. Preoperatively, the patient was suspected to have an MEA. An analysis of the surgical procedures in similar misdiagnosed tumors has enabled us to assess surgical procedures in cases wherein the preoperative diagnosis does not coincide with the postoperative histopathological results.

Lack of public support for coastal adaptation can present significant barriers for implementation. In response, policy makers and academics are seeking strategies to build public support for coastal adaptation, which requires a deeper understanding of peoples’ preferences for coastal adaptation and what motives those preferences. Here, we conduct a systematic literature review to understand preferences for coastal adaptation options and the factors influencing these preferences. Ninety peer-reviewed publications meet the inclusion criteria. The findings revealed that hard protection options were often the most frequently preferred, likely due to a desire to maintain current shoreline, for the protection of recreational spaces and private property, and a perceived effectiveness of hard protection options. Soft protection, including nature-based approaches, accommodation, and no action were the next most preferred options. Finally, retreat options were the least preferred, often due to strong place attachment. We identify twenty-eight factors that could influence preferences, with risk perception, place attachment, and financial considerations occurring most frequently in the literature. In the conclusion, we outline the most significant research gaps identified from our analysis and discuss the implication for adaptation research and practice.
