A clinical review of early assessment for congenital hypothyroidism in newborns

Congenital hypothyroidism is a critical factor associated with stunting, as thyroid hormone deficiencies can impair growth starting in utero. Children with thyroid disorders, including conditions like hypoparathyroidism, often experience growth retardation due to congenital abnormalities and growth hormone deficiencies. For neonates, a lack of thyroid hormones can lead to long-term impacts, such as physical and mental disabilities, neurological disorders, and stunted growth. Early detection of congenital hypothyroidism is, therefore, essential and is typically part of newborn screening aimed at identifying congenital abnormalities. Implementing early screening protocols can diagnose and treat congenital hypothyroidism promptly, mitigating risks such as stunting and enabling better health outcomes for children. This literature review examines methods of early detection for congenital hypothyroidism across various global contexts. Three databases—PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar—were searched using a systematic literature review approach, yielding five eligible studies with a combined study population of 920.441 newborns. These studies involved screenings for T4, TSH, 17-OHP, and G-6-PD, identifying hypothyroidism in 2.530 (27%) cases. Screening involved blood samples taken from the umbilical cord or heel within 48 to 72 hours after birth. Understanding early detection procedures for congenital hypothyroidism is essential for nurses, as it enables them to engage in early intervention and provide effective nursing care for affected infants. Early involvement can help prevent the adverse, long-term effects associated with congenital hypothyroidism, improving quality of life and supporting healthy growth trajectories for children at risk. Keywords: Congenital hypothyroidism; literature review; nursing assessment; paediatric nursing; prevention

Historical, Philosophical And Psychological Dimensions Of Bilingualism: Cognitive And Neurological Perspectives

Research on bilingualism has traditionally focused on its effects on language proficiency, yet a significant gap exists in understanding its broader cognitive impacts, particularly regarding executive functions and brain structure. This study aims to bridge that gap by examining the multifaceted influences of bilingualism on cognitive function, incorporating historical and philosophical perspectives to provide a comprehensive analysis. Using a systematic literature review approach, supported by neuroimaging studies, this research explores how bilingualism enhances brain plasticity and executive functions, such as attentional control and task-switching. Historical analysis reveals the shift from early 20th-century deficit views of bilingualism to the recognition of its cognitive advantages. Philosophical discussions further contextualize these findings, addressing the ethical considerations of cognitive enhancement and the mind-brain relationship in bilingual contexts. The results suggest that bilingualism confers distinct cognitive benefits, reshaping both brain structure and function. Based on these findings, this study offers key recommendations for improving future research methodologies, emphasizing the need for more diverse and standardized studies, and suggests practical counseling approaches that account for the psychological and philosophical complexities of bilingual identity. These insights challenge traditional views on cognitive development and have significant implications for educational policies, counseling strategies, and future neuroscience research.

<b>Medium of Instruction: The Context of Primary, Secondary and Higher Secondary Level in Bangladesh</b>

Medium of instruction (MoI) has turned into a matter of dispute in post-colonial societies for various conditions, such as favoring foreign languages over local or native tongues, enacting monolingual laws in multilingual communities, and creating inconsistencies between education policies and practices. This study aims to give a critical overview of MoI policies and practices from primary to higher secondary levels and their social, economic, and cultural effects in Bangladesh. The study employed a systematic literature review approach as part of secondary research. The study finds Bangla as a medium of instruction (BMI) by de jure and English as a medium of instruction (EMI) by de facto, which results in a remarkable inconsistency between MoI policies and its existing practices in the education sector. The further notable finding suggests that the mismatch between MoI policies and its practices leads to a disparate education structure and, eventually, a stratified society marked by inequalities, social hierarchies, marginalization, and so on. More importantly, the inequalities characterized by MoI practices are twofold: on the one hand, EMI is a source of division and inequalities for the Bangla-medium students, and on the other, BMI acts similarly when it comes to ethnic minority students.

Cooling and Lubricating Strategies for INCONEL® Alloys Machining: A Comprehensive Review on Recent Advances

Abstract INCONEL® alloys are Ni-based superalloys with superior mechanical properties for extremely high temperature (T) applications. These alloys present significant challenges: they are difficult-to-cut materials due to the low thermal conductivity (k), severe work hardening and elevated surface hardness. They are widely used in applications that require good dimensional stability; however, built-up edge (BUE) followed by premature Tool Wear (TW) are the most common problems when applying conventional machining (CM) and hybrid machining processes, i.e. Additive Manufacturing (AM) followed by milling, resulting in a meagre final product finishing. Regarding cooling/lubricating environments, a miscellanea of methods can effectively be applied to INCONEL® alloys, depending on their advantages and disadvantages. It is imperative to refine the machining parameters to enhance the performance outcomes of the process, particularly concerning the quality and cost-effectiveness of the product. This current review intends to offer a systematic summary and analysis of the progress taken within the field of INCONEL® CM and the various cooling/lubricating methods over the past decade, filling a gap found in the literature in this field of knowledge. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach was employed in this study, aiming to identify pertinent papers within the cooling and lubricating strategies for INCONEL® alloys machining. The most recent solutions found in the industry and the prospects from researchers will be presented, providing significant insights for academic researchers and industry professionals. It was found that selecting cooling methods for INCONEL® machining requires careful consideration of various factors. Each lubrication environment utilized in traditional INCONEL® machining methods offer unique advantages and challenges regarding the different outcomes: TW, Tool-Life (TL) and/or surface quality assessment; nevertheless, cryogenic cooling by CO2(l) and N2(l) highlights as the better cooling environment to improve the machined surface quality.

Value Conflict: Government Interests vs. User Satisfaction in E-Government

This research explores the value conflict between government interests and user satisfaction in the context of e-government. Using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach, this research analyzes how user-oriented approaches can clash with established public values. The findings show that legal accountability is often prioritized by the government, overriding users' needs for more efficient and accessible services. In addition, the government's inability to accommodate inclusive user engagement, especially in digitally-disenfranchised societies, adds to the complexity of the problem. The conclusion of this study emphasizes the importance of a more collaborative approach in the design of government digital services that are not only efficient, but also able to increase inclusivity and public trust. For future research, it is recommended to focus on reducing the digital divide, improving accessibility, and exploring new technologies such as artificial intelligence and blockchain to support accountability and user satisfaction simultaneously.

Role of Immunotherapy in the Management of Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Systematic Review.

The most prevalent histologic subtype of primary liver cancer, hepato-cellular carcinoma, is also the third most lethal malignancy worldwide and a significant cause of cancer death. When diagnosed, it is frequently too late for curative therapies. To add to the difficulty, it is resistant to conventional systemic therapies like chemotherapy. Re-cently, more attention has been given to the use of immunotherapy for this condition. Immuno-therapy has had a major impact on the outcome of several malignancies; several studies have revealed the potential role of immunotherapy in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. To provide an overview of the current literature, justification, and clinical evidence for the use of immuno-therapy in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma, we employed a systematic literature review (SLR) approach in this work. Additionally, we explored the benefits and rationales of various treatment combinations and described the molecular mechanisms behind resistance to a number of immunotherapy drugs. A total of 188 articles from credible journals published be-tween 2013 and August 7, 2023, were screened. Eight of those articles were chosen for in-depth study. This systematic review concluded that the current immunotherapeutic approaches have the potential to improve outcomes for aHCC patients; however, several clinical and biological hurdles have to be overcome, and predictive markers are still eagerly needed. To fully realize the potential of immunotherapy agents and their combination therapies to enhance health outcomes for patients with aHCC, additional investigation and research are required.
