Midfacial Trauma

Image quality in radiography of midfacial trauma was studied in 618 patients treated for midfacial injury. The visibility of key anatomic areas was related to essential technical factors influencing image quality as well as to the radiologic diagnostic performance. Regression analysis revealed that the visibility of the key anatomic areas was significantly dependent on the technical factors. However, the radiologic diagnostic performance was not significantly dependent on the visibility of the key anatomic areas. The results indicate that image quality was not a limiting factor for radiologic diagnostic performance in midfacial trauma.

Midfacial Trauma

The initial reports on radiologic examinations in 618 consecutive patients with midfacial injuries were compared with the final clinical diagnoses. Alcohol had to some degree been imbibed by 31 per cent of the patients. Influence of alcohol was 3 times more common outside than within office hours. Radiographic analysis included estimation of blurring, errors in straightness, angulation, beam centering and limitation. Image quality was scored as visibility of ‘the imaginary lines of bony continuity’. There was no statistically significant correlation between the degree of inebriety and image quality or diagnostic performance with the radiographic technique used, with the patient supine. There is no need to postpone midfacial radiography in inebriate patients.

The Relationship

The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between extrinsic and intrinsic reward on retention among Gen Y employees in Malaysian manufacturing companies. The data was collected from 113 respondents worked in manufacturing companies located in Seri Kembangan, Selangor using questionnaires. Multiple regression analysis was conducted to test the hypotheses. The results showed both extrinsic and intrinsic reward are the factors influencing retaining Gen Y in manufacturing companies. The discussion on the analysis, limitation of the study, recommendation for future research and conclusion were discussed at the end of this study. In a nutshell, it was proven extrinsic reward and intrinsic reward has contributed to the retention of Gen Y employees.

The secondary traumatic stress (STS) of nurses caring for COVID-19 patients is expected to be high, and it can adversely affect patient care. The purpose of this study was to examine the degree of STS of nurses caring for COVID-19 patients, and we identified various factors that influence STS. This study followed a descriptive design. The data of 136 nurses who had provided direct care to COVID-19 patients from 5 September to 26 September 2020 were collected online. Hierarchical regression analysis was conducted to identify the factors influencing STS. Participants experienced moderate levels of STS. The regression model of Model 1 was statistically significant (F = 6.21, p < 0.001), and the significant factors influencing STS were the duration of care for patients with COVID-19 for more than 30 days (β = 0.28, p < 0.001) and working in an undesignated COVID-19 hospital (β = 0.21, p = 0.038). In Model 2, the factor influencing STS was the support of a friend in the category of social support (β = −0.21, p = 0.039). The nurses caring for COVID-19 patients are experiencing a persistent and moderate level of STS. This study can be used as basic data to treat and prevent STS.
