Quality of life and physical/psychosocial factors in children and adolescents with orthostatic intolerance

BackgroundOrthostatic intolerance (OI), which is common in children and adolescents, negatively impacts their quality of life (QOL) due to physical symptoms that limit work, school, and daily activities. The purpose of this study is to explore the association of physical and psychosocial factors with QOL scores in children and adolescents with OI.MethodsA cross sectional observational study was conducted. The study participants included 95 Japanese pediatric patients of age 9–15 years who were diagnosed with OI from April 2010 to March 2020. The QOL scores and the QOL T-scores of children with OI assessed using the KINDL-R questionnaire at the initial visit were compared with conventional normative data. The associations of physical and psychosocial factors with the QOL T-scores were examined using multiple linear regression.ResultsPediatric patients with OI had significantly lower QOL scores than healthy children in both elementary (50.7 ± 13.5 vs. 67.9 ± 13.4, p < 0.001) and junior high schools (51.8 ± 14.6 vs. 61.3 ± 12.6, p < 0.001). This finding was observed in the physical, mental, self-esteem, friends, and school domains. Total QOL scores were significantly associated with school nonattendance (β = − 3.2, 95% confidence interval [CI] = − 5.8 to − 0.5, p = 0.022) and poor relationship with school (β = − 5.0, 95% CI = − 9.8 to − 0.4, p = 0.035).ConclusionsThese results suggest that the assessment of QOL, including both physical and psychosocial aspects, especially school factors, needs to be implemented earlier in children and adolescents with OI.

The impact of a medical drama featuring a hospital pharmacist on the perception of pharmacists among high school students and guardians: A quasi-experimental study

BackgroundA pharmacist's work has shifted from non-personal to in-person services; especially in a super-aging society, further collaboration with other professions is needed. Communication has become an essential skill for pharmacists. However, there is limited public awareness about the work of pharmacists, and their perception among high school students is unclear. Medical dramas have been reported as educational tools for students, including their role in influencing the career choices of health professionals. ObjectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the impact of a TV drama featuring a hospital pharmacist on perceptions of pharmacists among high school students and guardians. MethodsAn online survey involving 300 high school students and 300 guardians with their own high school children was conducted before the drama aired, and a post-survey conducted after it finished airing. Regular viewing was defined as exposure in this study. A difference-in-differences approach was used to compare the change in perceptions toward pharmacists' work, required knowledge, aptitude, and communication needs. ResultsComparing before and after they viewed the drama, high school students had significant differences in their perceptions of pharmacist duties such as “one-dose package dispensing” and “health consultation other than medicine,” while guardians had different perceptions of “collaboration with health care professionals” and “information sharing about medication therapy.” Regarding pharmacist aptitude, only guardians showed significant differences in their perceptions of skills such as “precision,” “cooperativeness,” and “decisiveness.” There were no significant differences in the perceived level of communication required for pharmacists. ConclusionsThe results indicated that the portrayal of the pharmacist in the drama may have had some impact on high school students and guardians and was considered useful as an opportunity to learn about pharmacists. However, it was suggested that pharmacists should make the public understand that their work requires real-world communication skills.

Mental health status of children who use foreign languages at home in Japan.

Little is known about the mental health status of children in Japan whose roots are in foreign countries. The differences in language that are used every day may be a factor that makes adaptation difficult for these children. The aim of the present study, therefore, was to examine the mental health status of children who use foreign languages at home via a cross-sectional survey in a large cohort. The survey was conducted among children who attended public elementary and junior high schools in a large city in Japan. Data were received from 20,596 elementary school-aged (above 4th grade) and 19,464 junior high school-aged children. We compared mental health status evaluated by the Patient Health Questionnaire-4 in the group based on language usage at home (only Japanese, only foreign languages, and both languages). We found that children who used foreign languages at home exhibited worse mental health status than children who used only Japanese at home. In addition, mental health status was slightly better among junior high school-aged children who used only foreign languages at home than among elementary school-aged children. This tendency was not observed in the group of children who used both languages at home. Our results suggest that children in Japanese society who use foreign languages at home have worse mental health, therefore there is a need for support for these children living in Japan.

Keberadaan Awig-Awig dalam Mengatasi Aksi Tindak Pidana Ringan di Desa Marga Kabupaten Tabanan, Bali

The existence of customary law itself is recognized in Indonesian positive law, namely in the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia Article 18 B paragraph (2). Customary law has its own uniqueness according to the custom in which the law lives, so it is not uncommon for there to be differences between customary law in one area and another. Several regions in Indonesia that have strong cultural characteristics still practice customary laws that have been enforced for a long time, such as Aceh which still uses Islamic law and Bali which also uses customary law guidelines to resolve problems that arise in society known as Awig-Awig. Awig-awig comes from the word "wig" which means damaged while "awig" means not damaged or good. So Awig-Awig is interpreted as something that becomes good. Like positive law, the awig-awig desa pakraman which guides the life of village krama certainly prohibits criminal acts and sanctions (pamidanda) are regulated in it. The rise of violence between youths is very troubling among the community members, as reported by the media where high school aged children were caught planning brawls which they called the "Sarong War". This action was successfully arrested by the police. This disturbing action is not only dangerous and requires special attention because it is related to the mentalistic development of the nation's generation, so it is very interesting to study, especially regarding the role of village awig-awig who are closest and directly touch the community.

Prevalence of Traumatic Injuries to Permanent Anterior Teeth and Predisposing Risk Factors among Government and Private School Children of Kakinada and Rajanagaram of East Godavari District.

To determine the prevalence of traumatic dental injuries (TDI) in permanent anterior teeth and their association with risk factors among children aged 7-13 years of government and private schools in Kakinada and Rajanagaram of East Godavari district, Andhra Pradesh, India. A cross-sectional study was carried out among 2,325 school children aged 7-13 years. Each child was examined for TDI, degree of overjet, molar relation, lip coverage, and facial profile. The results were analyzed by Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software and the Chi-squared test was used to compare qualitative data. The results show that the prevalence of trauma was found to be 12.1%, and there was no disparity between government or private schools and urban and rural areas. There was no much sex predilection. High school children are more prone to TDI than primary school children. The most common place was found to be home, and the most common cause is unknown. Maxillary central incisors are the most commonly affected and enamel fracture is the most common fracture. Among the subjects with trauma, only 4.1% sought treatment. The subjects with trauma in the present study are found to be having a positive association with risk factors, such as increased overjet, class II division 1 molar relationship, convex facial profile, and inadequate lip coverage. Evidence of a lower rate of treatment outcomes shows the need for increased awareness among parents, teachers, and healthcare providers and the elaboration of prevention strategies for TDI at the population level.
