Natural childbirth and cesarean section - descriptive analysis of queries in Google search engine.

The use of internet-based search engines for health information is very popular and common. The Internet has become an important source of health information and has a considerable impact on patient's decision making process. Knowledge of pregnant women about childbirth comes from health professionals and personal experiences described by friends or family members. There is a growing interest in digital sources used by pregnant women. Analysis of queries related to regarding to natural childbirth and cesarean section in the Google search engine. In this infodemiology, descriptive study tool "AlsoAsked" was used. This is a tool for analyzing data appearing in Google search results. "AlsoAsked" search was conducted on April 19, 2023. Search phrases "natural childbirth" and "cesarean section" in polish language were used. Questions that were typed into the Google search engine, ranked according to popularity (volume) and thematic connections have been discussed. The most frequently asked questions were related to the course and duration of labor as well as the preparation for labor and cesarean section (CS). Comparison between a natural labour and CS in the context of safety and pain received a great deal of attention. The most popular questions regarding CS were related to elective CS and indications for it. Some questions concerned the connection between labor and clinical state of a newborn.

Recent Technical Developments in the Field of Laparoscopic Surgery: A Literature Review.

The benefits of laparoscopic surgery (LS) include a speedy recovery, shorter duration of hospital stay, minimal postoperative pain, discomfort and disabilities, and better cosmetic outcomes (less scarring) that help an individual to resume normal daily activities and return to work. A comprehensive literature search on laparoscopic surgeries was conducted using different Internet-based search engines and databases from August 2021 to October 2021. The search was limited to articles published in the English language and those published between years 2005 and 2021. A total of 126 articles were initially identified. Two independent reviewers thoroughly examined the quality and content of the articles. Articles with duplicate data were excluded, and the remaining articles were screened and assessed by the titles and abstracts. After a vigorous assessment, we included data from 49 articles for this review process. Bibliographic management was done using the software “EndNote” (Thomson Reuters, New York, NY, USA).It was concluded that LS has become the technique of choice for virtually every kind of abdominal surgery, evident by numerous scholarly publications in this field. Level I evidence demonstrating the advantage of LS over open surgery has been reported for numerous operations, including fundoplication for gastroesophageal regurgitation disease, bariatric surgery for weight loss, and cancer resection. Advanced LS has subsequently been expanded to include hepatectomy, pancreatectomy, urology, and gynecology. Patients who are at risk of having elevated abdominal pressure during LS, however, should proceed with care. Recent advances in natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery, single-incision laparoscopic surgery, and robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery are promising.

Subject search in modern library information retrieval systems

The author reviews in brief the library catalogs as the origins of subject search in the modern search systems. He examines the concept of “subject search”, offers its definition (lacking in the state standards – GOSTs), specifies the types (subject search, search by keywords, systematic search) and characterizes them. The libraries use intensively all three types of subject search while the Internet-based search engines offer just one type, i.e. search by keywords. The universal search systems, like Google and Yandex, do not entail cataloguing, however the possibility of subject search by keywords is designed within html-code and tagging system. The author investigates into the application of systematic search on the Internet. He concludes that this search type emphasizes is intensively applied to the resources related to libraries or science and research (library e-catalogs, abstract databases, etc.). He suggests that in time tagging, the Internet popular subject search system, will tend to classifying and systematic search.

Blended learning pedagogy and the development of digital competences among teacher trainees in a predominantly face-to-face teacher education program

This paper examines the influence of blended pedagogy in facilitating the development of digital competences among teacher trainees in a leading University in Uganda. This is an action research that took place between August and November, 2019, in which data were collected from third-year teacher trainees at School of Education in a pre- and post-intervention survey environment. At the beginning of August 2019, a self-administered questionnaire (SAQ) seeking the opinions about the teacher trainees’ digital competences was administered. In the course of the semester, the researchers introduced a blended pedagogy approach through offering online tutorials to the teacher trainees using a MOODLE learning management system referred to as Makerere University Electronic Learning Environment (MUELE) in the course unit known as Evaluation of Instruction. Prior to the beginning of semester one examinations in November 2019, the same SAQ was administered to teacher trainees to examine the influence of blending online tutorials in nurturing their digital competences. Findings indicate improved competences in teacher trainees’ digital competences in line with navigation in the internet environment, operating mobile internet, operating internet-based search engines, and formal internet skills. Other competences that teacher trainees demonstrated improvement include digital information and communication competences. The study, however, indicated minimal improvement in teacher trainees’ digital competences in content creation. Consequently, it is recommended that teacher educators should deliberately adopt the use of blended pedagogy to enable teacher trainees develop the various digital competences expected from the twenty-first-century teacher.

A Review on Etiology of Janpadodhwans (pandemic) according to Ayurveda and contemporary sciences with special reference to COVID-19

There have been so many pandemics since human civilization. COVID-19 is currently causing a world pandemic, and the pandemic related crises have caused enormous negative impacts on both wealth and health globally. Ayurveda, an ancient medical treatise of human civilization, describes some basic principles as tenets of Pandemics in the name of its causes, the effect on human's health and its management which are same as contemporary science. There is no specific text as epidemiology in Ayurveda, but according to contemporary theories of epidemiology the principles described in it can be compiled, analyzed, and interpreted. Internet-based search engines revealed that there is very little work done in the field of Ayurveda for epidemiology. Hence, an attempt has been made to analyze basic principles of Ayurveda and epidemiology which can cause pandemics and thus interpret their contemporary significance. This article will also explore the literature for the basic concepts and history of pandemics in the light of Ayurveda and contemporary sciences.

Guru vs. Google - New Challenges and Learning Trends

Educators and employers in most countries are getting uneasy on many fronts because of hurdles created by old textbook-based curricula and traditional mode of face-to-face (F2F) teaching which dominated education for the last two centuries. In this new century of the World Wide Web (WWW), increased global connectivity, availability of 4G/5G networks and exponential growth in the use of portable and smart devices is forcing countries around the world to upgrade their educational system for online learning. In USA, Europe, Australia and several other countries in Asia, educational institutions are rapidly integrating online learning into their academic programs and curricula. The speed of innovations leading to a synergistic blending of a variety of internet-based search engines, social media and rich digital content made available by MOOCs, edX, Khan Academy and other portals is quite overwhelming. It is becoming increasingly clear that this new combination is also changing the role of the Guru in educational processes. In India and elsewhere in Asia-Pacific region online learning is increasingly becoming a key factor for the growth of digital economy and sustainable development. New academic programs and curricula based on an increased emphasis on eLearning or digital learning will help new generation to successfully compete in digital economies and enhance strategic sustainable development not only in India but also elsewhere in the world. This paper also sheds some light on the importance of SMAC (Social, Mobile. Analytics and Cloud) in education, especially in higher education and how to use it for skill development (SD), a sector of human resource development neglected since the independence of India in 1947.

Best Practices to Protect Your Privacy Against Search Engines Data Mining – A Review

The internet has revolutionized the way people do things in the twenty first century. Most day to day activities are been done using the internet via search engines. Search engines are great tools which aids in surfing the web more easily. The most famous ones includes Google, Bing, Yahoo and many more others which provides users with directions to resources stored on the web and other websites. However these search engines pose several issues to users of which the most challenging of them, which has drawn the attention of many researchers is privacy. Search engines learn about the user while using them by gathering every bit of information such as identity, location and so on. In this paper, the authors discuss some protection methods and privacy techniques users can observe to prevent privacy invasion and data security whilst using these systems. The study further presents some comparisons between and gives detailed understanding to enable one have a clear idea. Further discussions and suggestions after the comparisons and a conclusion on the best ways to protect user’s privacy on the internet whilst using these internet based search engines are also presented by the authors.

Evaluating Quality of Decision-Making Processes in Medicines' Development, Regulatory Review, and Health Technology Assessment: A Systematic Review of the Literature.

Introduction: Although pharmaceutical companies, regulatory authorities, and health technology assessment (HTA) agencies have been increasingly using decision-making frameworks, it is not certain whether these enable better quality decision making. This could be addressed by formally evaluating the quality of decision-making process within those organizations. The aim of this literature review was to identify current techniques (tools, questionnaires, surveys, and studies) for measuring the quality of the decision-making process across the three stakeholders.Methods: Using MEDLINE, Web of Knowledge, and other Internet-based search engines, a literature review was performed to systematically identify techniques for assessing quality of decision making in medicines development, regulatory review, and HTA. A structured search was applied using key words and a secondary review was carried out. In addition, the measurement properties of each technique were assessed and compared. Ten Quality Decision-Making Practices (QDMPs) developed previously were then used as a framework for the evaluation of techniques identified in the review. Due to the variation in studies identified, meta-analysis was inappropriate.Results: This review identified 13 techniques, where 7 were developed specifically to assess decision making in medicines' development, regulatory review, or HTA; 2 examined corporate decision making, and 4 general decision making. Regarding how closely each technique conformed to the 10 QDMPs, the 13 techniques assessed a median of 6 QDMPs, with a mode of 3 QDMPs. Only 2 techniques evaluated all 10 QDMPs, namely the Organizational IQ and the Quality of Decision Making Orientation Scheme (QoDoS), of which only one technique, QoDoS could be applied to assess decision making of both individuals and organizations, and it possessed generalizability to capture issues relevant to companies as well as regulatory authorities.Conclusion: This review confirmed a general paucity of research in this area, particularly regarding the development and systematic application of techniques for evaluating quality decision making, with no consensus around a gold standard. This review has identified QoDoS as the most promising available technique for assessing decision making in the lifecycle of medicines and the next steps would be to further test its validity, sensitivity, and reliability.

Ayurvedic approach to maternal health: A review of literature

Maternal health refers to the health aspects of pregnancy, childbirth, and post-partum care. Ayurveda may offer some solutions to maternal health problems. Hence, a review of the literature was carried out to understand the role of Ayurveda in maternal health using internet based search engines; PubMed and Google Scholar. Of 70 articles identified six articles were finally selected for this review based on full text articles from both the sources. It was observed that original clinical research in this particular subject is comparatively few. The records found in these databases are primarily theoretical research or review articles. Of these six titles: one article (n = 6) is related to growth-related problems, four articles (n = 6) are related to maternal anemia, and one article (n = 6) is related to pregnancy-related nausea and vomiting. None of the original research is related to childbirth or post-partum care; hence, this review primarily focused on pregnancy-related problems and their ayurvedic approach. Poor research in this direction indicates that either research is very few in this area, or the research results are not being disseminated in the form of research publications. Ayurvedic principles and therapeutic regimens may offer some solution for various types of pregnancy-related problems hence research in this clinical area is highly desirable. Given the situation of maternal morbidity and mortality, research regarding the role of Ayurveda in pregnancy and other areas of maternal health should be fostered across the health system.

Fundamental tenets of epidemiology in Ayurveda and their contemporary relevance

Background: Ayurveda, the science of life, is the most ancient medical doctrine of human civilization. Some of the basic principles described in Ayurveda are still the same as today's medical science. Ayurveda does not have a specific text as epidemiology, but the principles described in piecemeal can be compiled, analyzed, and interpreted in the light of modern theories of epidemiology. Objective: An initial systematic literature review by the help of internet-based search engines revealed very negligible work in the field of Ayurveda and epidemiology. Hence, an attempt was made to analyze various principles of Ayurveda relevant to epidemiology and interpret their contemporary significance. Methodology: The work is mainly based on theoretical research using standard textbooks of epidemiology and classical treatises of Ayurveda. Discussion: A good number of principles are found in the classical texts of Ayurveda, which can be compared with the concepts of epidemiology. In the process of theoretical analysis, the following concepts were found relevant, such as the concept of causation of disease/Etiology of disease, causes of epidemic, classification of disease, modes of communicable disease transmission, and natural history of disease. In this study, attempt has been made to understand these concepts in the light of epidemiology with their most approximate delineation. However, being a classical medical doctrine, it has its own appeal that cannot exactly be compared with the concepts of epidemiology. Conclusion: It is interesting to note that the tenets described centuries back are very much relevant at this present era, and their importance cannot be neglected.

Management of laryngeal trauma: Case reports and literature review

But de la presentation External laryngeal trauma is rare, accounting for less than 1 % of all trauma cases seen at major centers. We aim to report two clinical cases and to improve the care of acute laryngeal trauma by reviewing controversies and the evolution of treatment. Materiel et methodes We report two clinical cases along with images of videolaryngoscopy, CT scans and surgeries. We reviewed primary topics such as laryngeal trauma, laryngeal injury, and airway trauma through internet-based search engines and manual searches. Resultats Case report 1: a 76-year-old man without relevant medical history presented to our hospital after falling from a 3 meters wall. He experienced multiple injuries, including a laryngeal trauma. The primary signs and symptoms of his laryngeal trauma were hoarseness and dyspnea. Flexible endoscopy revealed laryngeal œdema and haematoma, bilateral vocal fold paralysis and dislocation of right aritnoid. Computed tomography (CT) showed cricoid cartilage fracture. The patient underwent immediate surgical exploration and tracheostomy. Postoperatively pain, dysphagia and food aspiration persisted. He had to undergo further surgeries to optimize laryngeal function. The patient was discharged with regained airway patency and with no food aspiration. Case report 2: a 40-year-old man with schizophrenia presented to our hospital after a 48-hour period of immobilization in a mental health institution. On arrival to the emergency department he was extremely agitated, febrile and had face and neck emphysema. Thoracic and neck CT scan were performed. Thyroid cartilage fracture was observed and other causes of emphysema were excluded. In the operating room we identified a minor laryngeal laceration, reduced the thyroid cartilage fracture and performed tracheostomy. The patient was discharged 12 days after surgery with normal swallowing, good voice quality and airway function. Laryngeal trauma is a rare injury and may result in lifelong complications or even death if diagnosis or treatment is delayed. Directed history, physical examination, laryngeal endoscopy and CT imaging help to delineate injuries and course of treatment. The choice of intubation, tracheotomy, cricothyrotomy and surgical repair must be individualized. Sufficient experience now exists to recommend specific treatments, and to preserve voice and airway function. Conclusion Acute laryngeal trauma caused by either blunt or penetrating injuries is a difficult airway management problem. The recognition and initial proper management of this injury is essential to a successful outcome.

Imperative role of dental pulp stem cells in regenerative therapies: A systematic review

Stem cells are primitive cells that can differentiate and regenerate organs in different parts of the body such as heart, bones, muscles and nervous system. This has been a field of great clinical interest with immense possibilities of using the stem cells in regeneration of human organ those are damaged due to disease, developmental defects and accident. The knowledge of stem cell technology is increasing quickly in all medical specialties and in dental field too. Stem cells of dental origin appears to hold the key to various cell-based therapies in regenerative medicine, but most avenues are in experimental stages and many procedures are undergoing standardization and validation. Long-term preservation of SHED cells or DPSC is becoming a popular consideration, similar to the banking of umbilical cord blood. Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) are the adult multipotent cells that reside in the cell rich zone of the dental pulp. The multipotent nature of these DPSCs may be utilized in both dental and medical applications. A systematic review of the literature was performed using various internet based search engines (PubMed, Medline Plus, Cochrane, Medknow, Ebsco, Science Direct, Hinari, WebMD, IndMed, Embase) using keywords like “dental pulp stem cells”, “regeneration”, “medical applications”, “tissue engineering”. DPSCs appears to be a promising innovation for the re-growth of tissues however, long term clinical studies need to be carried out that could establish some authentic guidelines in this perspective.

Regenerative dentistry: Current and future perspectives to rejuvenate and reclaim dental tissues

While widespread advances have occurred in all details of science over the past decade, regenerative dentistry has also seen its part of breakthrough innovations. Tooth regeneration offers new and innovative approaches to common problems encountered in oral and dental sciences. In cases where a tooth is lost, it may be replaced with an implant, bridge, or a denture capable of mastication. However, in many developing countries, it is often simpler (and far more cost-effective) to remove the tooth. Strategies based upon regenerative medicine that facilitates the repair or replacement of damaged teeth may hold particular promise as a means to reduce the cost of dental care. Dental maladies aside, the tooth is also a compelling candidate as a template for organogenesis which could have far-reaching implications for the field of regenerative medicine. [1] A systematic review of the literature was performed using various internet-based search engines (PubMed, Medline Plus, Cochrane, Medknow, Ebsco, Science Direct, Hinari, WebMD, IndMed, and Embase) using keywords such as dental pulp stem cells, regeneration, medical applications, and tissue engineering. This review explores existing and visionary approaches in the revolutionary field of regenerative dentistry, as an extension to the familiar concepts of regenerative medicine.

Hemophilia A: Dental considerations and management.

Aim:To review hemophilia A with emphasis on its oral manifestations, investigations, and dental management.Materials and Methods:Search was conducted using internet-based search engines, scholarly bibliographic databases, PubMed, and Medline with key words such as “Hemophilia A,” “factor VIII,” “bleeding and clotting disorders,” and “dental management.”Results:Hemophilia comprises a group of hereditary disorders caused due to the deficiency of one or more clotting factors leading to prolonged clotting time and excessive bleeding tendencies. It is broadly divided into hemophilia A, B, and C, which occur due to deficiency of factor VIII, IX, and XI, respectively. Hemophilia A is an X-linked recessive hereditary disorder and is the most common of the three, accounting for 80–85% of the cases.Conclusion:Understanding this complex entity is very important for a dentist to provide appropriate dental treatment and avoid undesirable consequences.

Oncolytic viruses in head and neck cancer: a new ray of hope in the management protocol.

This paper intends to highlight the different types of oncolytic viruses (OVs), mechanism of tumor specificity, its safety, and various obstacles in the design of treatment and combination therapy utilizing oncotherapy. Search was conducted using the internet-based search engines and scholarly bibliographic databases with key words such as OVs, head and neck cancer, viruses, oral squamous cell carcinoma, and gene therapy. Revolutionary technologies in the field of cancer treatment have gone through a series changes leading to the development of innovative therapeutic strategies. Oncolytic virotherapy is one such therapeutic approach that has awaited phase III clinical trial validation. OVs are self-replicating, tumor selective and lyse cancer cells following viral infection. By modifying the viral genome, it is possible to direct their toxicity toward cancer cells. Viruses that are used for treatment of head and neck cancer are either naturally occurring or genetically modified. OVs are tumor selective and potential anticancer agents. Virotherapy may become the standard of care and part of combination therapy in the management of head and neck cancer in the future.

Can social microblogging be used to forecast intraday exchange rates?

The Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH) is widely accepted to hold true under certain assumptions. One of its implications is that the prediction of stock prices at least in the short run cannot outperform the random walk model. Yet, recently many studies stressing the psychological and social dimension of financial behavior have challenged the validity of the EMH. Towards this aim, over the last few years, internet-based communication platforms and search engines have been used to extract early indicators of social and economic trends. Here, we used Twitter's social networking platform to model and forecast the EUR/USD exchange rate in a high-frequency intradaily trading scale. Using time series and trading simulations analysis, we provide some evidence that the information provided in social microblogging platforms such as Twitter can in certain cases enhance the forecasting efficiency regarding the very short (intradaily) forex.

Gelenkkontrakturen in Lehr- und Fachbüchern für die Pflege

The transparency criteria of the German statutory health insurance on joint contracture prevention have led to controversies about the appropriate assessment, prevention and treatment as well as to various actions in nursing practice. However, appropriate nursing assessments and proven treatment options are lacking so far. It is unclear whether textbooks on nursing reflect these uncertainties. Search for textbooks on nursing through internet-based search engines and publisher registers, data extraction by one investigator and control by a second. A total of 35 textbooks with contributions on joint contractures were identified of which 25 included a definition, causes/risk factors are presented in 32 textbooks and assessments are presented in 5 books. Most often positioning into a physiological or functional neutral position and passive moving of limbs are recommended as passive prophylaxis. Recommended therapeutic and preventive options do not differ. None of the textbooks reflect that there is a lack of scientific knowledge on the subject. Textbooks on nursing do not deal with complete and scientific sound information on joint contractures.

The role of targeted chemical proteomics in pharmacology

Traditionally, proteomics is the high-throughput characterization of the global complement of proteins in a biological system using cutting-edge technologies (robotics and mass spectrometry) and bioinformatics tools (Internet-based search engines and databases). As the field of proteomics has matured, a diverse range of strategies have evolved to answer specific problems. Chemical proteomics is one such direction that provides the means to enrich and detect less abundant proteins (the 'hidden' proteome) from complex mixtures of wide dynamic range (the 'deep' proteome). In pharmacology, chemical proteomics has been utilized to determine the specificity of drugs and their analogues, for anticipated known targets, only to discover other proteins that bind and could account for side effects observed in preclinical and clinical trials. As a consequence, chemical proteomics provides a valuable accessory in refinement of second- and third-generation drug design for treatment of many diseases. However, determining definitive affinity capture of proteins by a drug immobilized on soft gel chromatography matrices has highlighted some of the challenges that remain to be addressed. Examples of the different strategies that have emerged using well-established drugs against pharmaceutically important enzymes, such as protein kinases, metalloproteases, PDEs, cytochrome P450s, etc., indicate the potential opportunity to employ chemical proteomics as an early-stage screening approach in the identification of new targets.

Self‐Report Reasons for Alcohol Use in Bipolar Disorders: Why Drink Despite the Potential Risks?

High rates of alcohol use and misuse are commonly reported for bipolar disorder (BD) and in many cases, these impact detrimentally on the course and treatment of the disorder. Therefore, knowing the reasons individuals with a diagnosis of BD give for drinking alcohol is essential for understanding this association and for treatment. This paper aimed to systematically review the literature relating to self-reported reasons and motives for alcohol use in BD. By using internet-based search engines such as PsycINFO and Medline, six relevant studies were identified and then quality-assessed using a set of criteria specifically developed for this review. Overall, the findings supported the intuitive notion that individuals with a diagnosis of BD use alcohol to relieve distressing mood states. However, there was evidence of other mood-related and mood--unrelated reasons--e.g., drinking to enhance euphoric mood or to be sociable. These findings are discussed in relation to the self-medication hypothesis and cognitive motivational models of alcohol use developed in the general population. The quality assessment also revealed several limitations including diagnostically heterogeneous samples and inconsistencies in measurement between studies, and recommendations for addressing these limitations are given.
