Abstract It is unknown if anxiety affects performance on Digit span forward (DSF) in memory clinic patients. We performed a retrospective chart review of memory clinic patients in the south shore of Boston from 2010 to 2020. We correlated anxiety screen data (GAD7) to Digit Span Forward (DSF) scores obtained from the MoCA. As the data were not normal, we performed univariate analyses with Spearman correlation. A multivariate regression model estimated the relationship of DSF to covariates of GAD7, age, sex, and race. We hypothesized a negative correlation between anxiety levels scored by GAD7 and DSF. H0: Digit span forward DSF ~ GAD7+Age+Sex+Race. A chart review found 965 patients attending the memory clinic between 2010 to 2020 had analyzable data. 433 patients with available DSF and 737 had available GAD7. The patients were 58.7% female and 84.7% caucasian. The mean age was 70.1±14.4, DSF 0.8±0.4 and GAD 5.6±5.7. DSF correlated significantly to race (⍴=-0.25, p=<0.001), but not to gender (⍴=0.05, p=0.149), age (⍴=-0.04, p=0.3), or GAD7 (⍴=-0.018, p=0.71). There was no significant association of DSF to race, age, gender or GAD7 on the multivariate model. In memory clinic subjects there exists no correlation between anxiety levels scored by GAD7 and DSF performance.

Abstract Background: It is unknown if anxiety levels affect performance on clock drawing test (CDT) in memory clinic patients. Method: We performed a retrospective analysis of memory clinic patients in the south shore of Boston from 2010 to 2019. We correlated anxiety screen data (GAD7) to CDT scores, based on contour, numbers, and hands placement. Univariate analyses used Spearman correlation. A multivariate regression model analzed GAD7 to covariates of CDT, age, sex, and race. Hypothesis : We hypothesized a positive correlation between anxiety levels scored by the GAD7 and CDT. Results: 994 patients in the memory clinic between 2010-2020 had analyzable data. Patients were 58.6% female, 84.6 % White. Mean age was 70.1±14.4, CDT 1.84±1.04. CDT score correlated significantly to race (⍴=-0.16, p< 0.001), age (⍴=-0.28, p<0.001), gender (⍴=0.05, p=0.16), but not GAD7 (⍴=0.05, p=0.27). Multivariate model confirmed the lack of association of anxiety scores to CDT (□= 0.08, p=0.78). GAD7 scores correlated to female gender (□= -1.16, p=0.04). Conclusions: CDT scores were not affected by anxiety as measured on GAD7 scores. However, a positive correlation was shown on anxiety scores in females to CDT completion.

The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between occupational exposure to welding fumes and pulmonary function in an effort to add supportive evidence and clarity to the current body of research. This study utilized a retrospective chart review of pulmonary function testing and pulmonary questionnaires already available in charts from preplacement physicals to the most recent test. When comparing smokers to nonsmokers, utilizing multiple regression and controlling for age and percentage of time using a respirator, years welding was statistically significant at p = .04. Data support that smoking has a synergistic effect when combined with welding fume exposure on pulmonary decline.

Aim: To describe the associated ocular, neurologic, and systemic findings in a population of children with optic nerve hypoplasia (ONH) and to evaluate the relationship between ocular signs and neurologic findings. Method: A retrospective chart review of 53 patients with the diagnosis of ONH seen between December 1998 and September 2012 was performed. All neurodevelopmental anomalies, neuroradiologic findings, endocrinologic and systemic findings were recorded. Poor vision was defined as the visual acuity poorer than logMAR 1.0 or inadequate central steady maintained fixation. Results: Thirty (56.6%) of the 53 children with ONH were boys. Mean age at presentation was 56.2±46.8 months (range; 3 months to 18 years). Poor vision defined for the purpose of this study was found in 47.2% of 53 patients. Thirty-three (62.3%) children had nystagmus. Thirty-four (64.2%) children had strabismus. Thirteen (38.2%) of those with strabismus had esotropia, 20 (58.8%) had exotropia. The total number of the children with neurodevelopmental deficit was 22 (41.5%) in our study. Conclusion: The vision of young children with ONH should be monitored at least annually, and any refractive errors should be treated. Neuroimaging of the brain and endocrinologic evaluation is necessary in all cases with ONH.

Immigrants have a heightened risk of developing schizophrenia, suggesting that social factors play an important role in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia. This study aimed to examine the relationship between degrees of social defeat and themes of delusion in patients with schizophrenia from immigrant and ethnic minority backgrounds. Retrospective chart review was conducted. Patients’ psychosocial history, particularly employment history, level of education, and subjective feelings of societal integration before and after immigration, were compared to determine the degree of social defeat. It was found that delusional themes of psychological persecution, such as control and reference, were more common in those with either moderate or severe degrees of social defeat.

Menstrual disorders such as delayed menstruation, irregular cycle, menstrual pain, or hypermenorea can bring so much discomfort to women caused by biological abnormalities and psychological factors. However, nutritional status can also play a role in contributing to this disorder. This study aimed to determine the relationship of nutritional status to menstrual disorders in midwifery students. This descriptive analytical study used a cross sectional study design and a correlation study to find the relationship between the independent variables and dependent variables. The samples were all the first grade students of Midwifery Department of Poltekkes Jakarta Kemenkes III by 150 people. Based on the bivariate test, there was a relationship between nutritional status and polimenorea/oligomenorea (0.000), hipermenorea/hipomenorea (0.006) and amhea (0.001). The lecturers of the midwifery program are expected to put more concern on this problem by providing counseling about this issue so that the students can get prepared to face the disorder by having nutritional food in their daily life.

Background: Diarrhea is still a major health problem in Indonesia. The Province of East Java ranks the second-highest number of diarrhea incidence after West Java, which reached 1,048,885 patients. The most dominant factors contributing to diarrheal diseases are water and family latrines. Purpose: This study aims to analyze the relationship between access to drinking water and proper sanitation with the incidence of diarrhea in East Java. Methods: This study was an observational study with a correlation study design. The population used was all people suffering from diarrheal diseases handled by each district in East Java Province in 2017. The method of sampling used aggregate data on the number of cases of diarrhea handled and the number of people with access to drinking water and proper sanitation per district/city in East Java province based on the East Java Health Profile 2017. The variables studied were the number of people who had access to drinking water (feasible), the number of people who had access to proper sanitation facilities (healthy latrines), and the number of diarrhea cases handled in East Java Province, with analysis techniques in the form of Pearson correlation. Results: This study showed that there was a relationship between residents who had access to inadequate drinking water (p = 0.00) which had a strong relationship of 0.48 (strong enough) and there was also a relationship between residents with inadequate access to sanitation facilities (not have healthy latrines) (p = 0.00) which had a strong relationship of 0.53 (strong enough). Conclusion: There is a relationship between access to drinking water and sanitation that is not feasible with the incidence of diarrhea found in East Java.
