Familial adult-onset neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease: A case report and literature review.

Neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease (NIID) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder with highly variable clinical manifestations, making diagnosis challenging. Recent advancements in genetic and pathological testing, such as the identification of GGC repeat expansions in the NOTCH2NLC gene, have improved diagnostic accuracy, but familial cases remain underreported. This report details 3 cases of familial adult-onset NIID in 2 sisters and 1 brother. The older sister experienced episodic encephalopathy and autonomic dysfunction for over 40 years, while the younger sister presented similar symptoms 5 years ago. The brother also developed episodic encephalopathy 5 years ago. Brain diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) for all 3 patients revealed hyperintensity at the corticomedullary junction and corpus callosum. Skin biopsies from the older sister and brother confirmed the presence of p62 antibody-positive intranuclear inclusion bodies in sweat gland cells and fibroblasts. Genetic testing showed 146 and 133 GGC repeats in the NOTCH2NLC gene in the older sister and brother, respectively. All 3 patients were diagnosed with NIID based on clinical, radiological, and genetic findings. The patients received hormonal therapy, circulation-enhancing treatments, and rehydration therapy during acute episodes. All 3 patients showed significant improvement in symptoms following treatment, with a return to baseline function after hospital discharge. Proper management of NIID includes prompt recognition of symptoms, adequate rest, and avoidance of triggers such as fatigue, infections, and stress, which may reduce the frequency of episodic attacks. Early diagnosis and targeted symptomatic treatment are essential for improving patient outcomes.

Rest the brain to learn new gait patterns after stroke

BackgroundThe ability to relearn a lost skill is critical to motor recovery after a stroke. Previous studies indicate that stroke typically affects the processes underlying motor control and execution but not the learning of those skills. However, these studies could be confounded by the presence of significant motor impairments. Furthermore, prior research involving the upper extremity indicates that stroke survivors have an advantage in offline motor learning when compared with controls. However, this has not been examined using motor acuity tasks (i.e., tasks focusing on the quality of executed actions) that have direct functional relevance to rehabilitation.ObjectiveInvestigate how stroke affects leg motor skill learning during walking in stroke survivors.MethodsTwenty-five participants (10 stroke; 15 controls) were recruited for this prospective, case-control study. Participants learned a novel foot-trajectory tracking task on two consecutive days while walking on a treadmill. The task necessitated greater hip and knee flexion during the swing phase of the gait. Online learning was measured by comparing tracking error at the beginning and end of each practice session, offline (rest-driven) learning was measured by comparing the end of the first practice session to the beginning of the second, and retention was measured by comparing the beginning of the first practice session to the beginning of the second. Online learning, offline learning, and retention were compared between the stroke survivors and uninjured controls.ResultsStroke survivors improved their tracking performance on the first day (p = 0.033); however, the amount of learning in stroke survivors was lower in comparison with the control group on both days (p ≤ 0.05). Interestingly, stroke survivors showed higher offline learning gains when compared with uninjured controls (p = 0.011).ConclusionsEven stroke survivors with no perceivable motor impairments have difficulty acquiring new motor skills related to walking, which may be related to the underlying neural damage caused at the time of stroke. Furthermore, stroke survivors may require longer training with adequate rest to acquire new motor skills.

“It became a cycle I was not able to break” towards menstrual justice: addressing human rights violation at Indian workplaces

Purpose This paper aims to advance the concept of “menstrual justice” by building on the comprehensive framework developed by Margaret E. Johnson (2019), which integrates legal rights, social justice and intersectional analysis. By applying Johnson’s insights and human rights frameworks to menstrual health management, the study advocates for state interventions to safeguard women labourers from exploitative practices that endanger their reproductive health and to uphold their menstrual rights. Design/methodology/approach A case study methodology is used to scrutinize menstrual injustices experienced by women labourers in precarious employment conditions. Specifically, it examines two cases, the mass hysterectomies in Beed, Maharashtra and the administration of unidentified pharmaceuticals to women in Tamil Nadu factories to mitigate menstrual pain and maximize productivity. Findings The findings reveal severe violations pertaining to menstrual justice, with practices deeply rooted in socioeconomic deprivation and systemic neglect. These issues subject female workers to various forms of gender-based violence that goes beyond physical abuse, raising critical concerns about menstrual justice and human rights violations. Research limitations/implications The study’s findings have limited generalizability due to the specific contexts of the case study. Furthermore, the absence of insights from managers/supervisors, and factory owners limits a comprehensive understanding of the policies and factors leading to neglect of menstrual management practices. Practical implications The findings of the study will prompt the medical industry to initiate research into medications that can effectively alleviate period pain while minimizing harmful side effects. Current treatments often come with significant drawbacks, highlighting the need for safer and more effective alternatives. Addressing this research gap is vital for achieving menstrual equity, as it ensures that individuals suffering from menstrual pain have access to relief that does not jeopardize their overall health. Advancing research in this area will not only enhance the quality of life for menstruators but also contribute to a more equitable and inclusive approach to menstrual health care. Social implications The findings support reframing menstrual friendly labour policies including comprehensive sexual and reproductive health information to everyone, regardless of gender, to reduce misinformation and stigma associated with menstruation at workplaces. Additionally, the study proposes the introduction of reusable menstrual products like menstrual cups to overcome period poverty. Thus, ensuring access to these resources is crucial for enabling informed decision-making, promoting gender equality, addressing health disparities and fostering the development of menstrual-friendly workplace policies. Originality/value This study, by using a case study-based approach, has thoroughly examined the issues and challenges faced by female labourers in fields and factories. It uniquely identifies the inadequacies in menstrual management provisions for female workers in India and advocates for a human rights-based approach to ensure that menstruators can manage their menstrual health safely. Unlike most existing studies, which primarily focus on product usage and the stigma or myths surrounding menstruation, this study advances menstrual justice by calling for labour policy reforms and medical research to lessen menstrual pain without compromising menstruators’ health. These reforms aim to provide working women with adequate rest and necessary provisions during menstruation. Addressing these gaps is essential and has been largely overlooked in global health policies.

The above results point out to the fact that the Structured Teaching Programme is highly effective in increasing the knowledge about healthcare services among eligible couples in the specific community area.

Strategies for coping with postmenopausal health problems among women in Egbu Community Owerri North Imo State

This study explores the strategies used by postmenopausal women in Egbu Community, Owerri North, Imo State, Nigeria, to cope with health problems associated with menopause. Menopause, a significant life stage, is often accompanied by various physical, emotional, and mental health challenges, such as hot flashes, painful sexual intercourse, depression, and memory loss. These challenges are exacerbated by socio-cultural factors, limited healthcare infrastructure, and a lack of awareness and education about menopause, particularly in rural communities like Egbu. The study adopts a descriptive cross-sectional design and utilizes a self-structured questionnaire to collect data from 150 postmenopausal women. The findings reveal that the most common physical problem is painful sexual intercourse, while mental depression is the predominant emotional and mental issue. Coping strategies employed by these women include engaging in moderate exercise, seeking medical advice, and maintaining adequate rest and sleep. However, poor education, lifestyle factors, and religious beliefs significantly influence the effectiveness of these coping strategies.The study concludes that while some coping strategies are effective, there is a need for targeted interventions to improve awareness, education, and access to healthcare services. These interventions should be culturally sensitive and designed to empower women, enhance their quality of life, and reduce the stigma surrounding menopause. The study's findings are crucial for informing community health planning and policy development to better support postmenopausal women in rural areas.

FiberFlex: Real-time FPGA-based Intelligent & Distributed Fiber Sensor System for Pedestrian Recognition

In recent years, security monitoring of public places and critical infrastructure has heavily relied on the widespread use of cameras, raising concerns about personal privacy violations. To balance the need for effective security monitoring with the protection of personal privacy, we explore the potential of optical fiber sensors for this application. This paper proposes FiberFlex, an intelligent and distributed fiber sensor system. Ultizing FPGA high-level synthesis (HLS) acceleration, FiberFlex offers real-time pedestrian detection by co-designing the entire pipeline of optical signal acquisition, processing, and recognition networks based on the principles of optical fiber sensing. As a promising alternative to traditional camera-based monitoring systems, FiberFlex achieves pedestrian detection by analyzing the vibration patterns caused by pedestrian footsteps, enabling security monitoring while preserving individual privacy. FiberFlex comprises three modules: First , fiber-optic sensing system: A fiber-optic distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) system is built and used to measure the ground vibration waves generated by people walking. Second , algorithms: We first collect the training data by measuring the ground vibration waves, label the data, and use the data to train the neural network models to perform pedestrian recognition. Third , hardware accelerators: We use HLS tools to design hardware modules on FPGA for data collection and pre-processing, and integrate them with the downstream neural network accelerators to perform in-line real-time pedestrian detection. The final detection results are sent back from FPGA to the host CPU. We implement our system FiberFlex with the in-house built DAS system and AMD/Xilinx Kintex7 FPGA KC705 board and verify the whole system using the real-world collected data. We conduct recognition tests on 5 test subjects of varying ages, heights, and weights in a fixed sensing area. Each subject experienced 20 real-time recognition tests using their daily walking habits, and the subjects were given adequate rest between tests. After 100 tests on five test subjects, the overall real-time recognition accuracy exceeded \(88.0\%\) . The whole system uses 55 watts of power, 33 watts in the optical DAS system, and 22 watts in the FPGA. Relying on its end-to-end interdisciplinary design, FiberFlex seamlessly combines fiber-optic sensors with FPGA accelerators to enable low-power real-time security monitoring without compromising privacy, making it a valuable addition to the existing security monitoring network. According to FiberFlex, more valuable research can be conducted in the future, such as fall monitoring for the elderly, migration of identification networks between different application scenarios, and improvement of anti-interference performance in more complex environments. In future perception networks, where the “eyes” are not feasible, let's use fiber optic touch instead.

According to WHO data from 2012, approximately 33% of infants experience sleep problems. This study aimed to investigate the effect of baby massage and spa frequency on sleep quality in infants aged 3-6 months. Using a quantitative approach, the study sampled 40 mothers and their infants at the City Health Center. The results showed a correlation between baby spa frequency and sleep quality. The study recommends conducting baby spa training and suggests future research explore the combination of massage with other interventions like music or aromatherapy to enhance sleep quality. This research aims to provide insights into the benefits of baby spa and massage for infant sleep quality and to recommend these interventions as part of routine care programs in health facilities

Investigation of prevalence and risk factors of musculoskeletal disorders among tea harvesting farmers - A systematic review.

Tea harvesting is a common agricultural occupation, usually conducted in mountainous regions with steep slopes and high altitudes. Despite the utilization of modern technology and mechanized equipment in agriculture, a substantial portion of tea harvesting continues to be traditional and physically strenuous. This dependence on manual labor can lead to a higher likelihood of musculoskeletal disorders among tea harvesting farmers. The objective of this research was investigation of prevalence and risk factors of musculoskeletal disorders in tea harvesting farmers. In this review study, we analyzed all published articles on the prevalence and factors influencing musculoskeletal disorders in tea harvesting farmers from March 10, 2010, to November 10, 2023 (last search date). We systematically searched for articles using keywords (risk factor, risk assessment, lower limb, upper limb, musculoskeletal disorders, tea harvesting, posture, manual handling, discomfort, ergonomics, prevalence, farmers) in PubMed, Google Scholar, SID, Web of Science, Scopus, Magiran, Iran Medex, Cochrane Library, and Embase. The quality of the articles was evaluated using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT), 2018 version. Unrelated articles were excluded following PRISMA statement guidelines, and only articles directly related to the study were reviewed. GraySource and BASE databases were also utilized to identify Gray sources.. Initially, 128 articles were found across different databases, and a total of 17 articles were selected for the final assessment. The primary areas of the body that workers are commonly exposed to musculoskeletal issues are the back, hands, wrists, shoulders, neck, and knees. The research identified four main categories of factors: personal, occupational, environmental, and psychosocial that contribute to musculoskeletal problems. Among these factors are women working in physically demanding environments, lifting heavy bags of harvested tea, time pressures during tea collection, repetitive hand motions from using harvesting tools, the height of the tea plants in the field, working in wet and slippery conditions, uneven ground surfaces, extended working hours, low pay, and lack of support from employers. Ergonomic interventions such as redesigning tea harvesting tools, enhancing tea plants and workspaces, teaching ergonomic principles of body posture and manual movement, and organizing work with job rotation and adequate rest are recommended to alleviate musculoskeletal disorder symptoms.

The adolescent belongs to vital age group is not only because of entrant population to parenthood but also some threshold between childhood and adulthood. An each adolescent attempt to cross this threshold, face various physiological, psychological, and developmental changes. Menstruation refers to the monthly discharge of blood and other substances from the uterus (through the vagina) in non-pregnant adult female. The treatment of premenstrual symptoms can sometimes be as challenging that general management include a healthy life style, proper food pattern before menstrual period, aerobic exercise, reduce sugars, avoid salt, increase of fibre intake, adequate rest and sleep. Inadequate hygiene methods of sanitary protection lead to not only the health problems. But it also leads to adolescent girls dropping out of school thus negatively impact on education. Hence, the researcher planned to improve the knowledge of adolescent girls on management of premenstrual symptoms. Premenstrual symptoms prevalence from 5-20% from moderate to severe clinically applicable premenstrual complaints and up to 75% of all women of fertile age may experience symptoms of premenstrual syndrome. Exact cause of premenstrual syndrome is unknown, but several factors may given to the conditions. Premenstrual symptoms changes with hormonal variations and will vanish with pregnancy and menopause.

Effect of Exercise Regimens on Musculoskeletal Health in Working Horses in Bangladesh

Purpose: To aim of the study was to analyze the effect of exercise regimens on musculoskeletal health in working horses in Bangladesh. Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries. Findings: Recent studies on exercise regimens for working horses in Bangladesh show that regular, moderate-intensity exercise strengthens muscles and bones, reducing strains and sprains. Structured training enhances bone density and tendon strength, crucial for their physical demands. Exercise also prevents conditions like osteoarthritis by maintaining joint mobility. Muscle conditioning improves strength and flexibility, lowering the risk of injuries. Varied exercise routines promote balanced musculoskeletal development and endurance. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Biomechanical theory, physiological adaptation theory &amp; workload management theory may be used to anchor future studies on effect of exercise regimens on musculoskeletal health in working horses in Bangladesh. Implement balanced exercise programs that mix high-intensity and low-intensity activities, and ensure shorter, frequent exercise sessions to promote muscle recovery and reduce overuse injuries. Establish regulations that limit the maximum workload and duration of work for horses, ensuring that they are not subjected to continuous high-intensity tasks without adequate rest.

LEGAL PROTECTION OF THE RIGHTS OF WOMEN WORKERS

Female workers are part of the workforce who carry out work, either for themselves or working in an employment relationship or under orders from employers or other legal entities. The reasons why women enter the world of work include the increasing need and the desire to qualify themselves with the abilities they have. The problem is how the legal protection for the rights of female workers is seen from Law Number 6 of 2023 concerning Job Creation and what are the obstacles in providing legal protection for female workers. Qualitative Research Method using the Normative Juridical approach method. The results of the research are that protection for women in the Job Creation Law is not specifically detailed, but in general the Job Creation Law mentions worker protection without discrimination as stated in Article 153 which was amended from Article 153 of the Manpower Law, in relation to protection of female workers at PT. Indo Marco Logistic includes 1) Protection of Female Workers regarding Menstrual Leave 2) Protection of the Right to Pregnancy and Childbirth Leave 3) Protection of the Right to Breastfeed 4) Protection of Female Workers Overtime and Barriers in Providing Legal Protection to Female Workers including 1) salary inequality between male and female workers who have the same responsibilities and qualifications. The work performed is similar, but the wages received by female workers are lower than their male counterparts. This is a violation of basic rights that must be corrected immediately. 2) Female workers often face discrimination during pregnancy. They are given the same workload without considering their physical and emotional condition. Maternity and paternity leave policies that should provide adequate rest are often ignored. 3) Companies employ female workers late at night without paying attention to health and safety risks. Female workers who are pregnant or have just given birth are prohibited from working from 23.00 to 07.00, but this rule is often ignored.
