The Relationship

Post-thyroidectomy patients often complain of globus pharyngeus type symptoms. One of the organic pathologies recognized as causing globus pattern symptoms is goitre. We conducted a prospective questionnaire-based study in the thyroid clinic at Hull Royal Infirmary to examine the relationship between goitre, thyroidectomy and globus pattern symptoms by using the Glasgow–Edinburgh Throat Scale. A questionnaire-based study in which 41 consecutive patients due to undergo thyroidectomy prospectively completed the questionnaire pre-operatively and 12 months post-operatively. A subset of 25 randomly selected patients also completed the questionnaire three months post-operatively. Globus symptoms were not worsened by thyroidectomy at three or 12 months. Indeed two of the questioned parameters were significantly improved at three months, and six at one year (p < 0.023). In conclusion, thyroidectomy does not exacerbate globus pharyngeus symptoms. Indeed, in the absence of other clinical causes, when a patient has a World Health Organization (WHO) 2 goitre or greater, thyroidectomy may improve them.

How do COVID-19 experts psychologically manage the pandemic and its effects? Using a full year of press briefings (January 2020–January 2021) from the World Health Organization ( N = 126), this paper evaluated the relationship between communication patterns and COVID-19 cases and deaths. The data suggest as COVID-19 cases and deaths increased, health experts tended to think about the virus in a more formal and analytic manner. Experts also communicated with fewer cognitive processing terms, which typically indicate people “working through” a crisis. This report offers a lens into the internal states of COVID-19 experts and their organization as they gradually learned about the virus and its daily impact.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has affected almost every country worldwide, including all 22 Arab countries. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to follow the prevalence of COVID-19 in all Arab countries. In this review, we aimed to assess the 12-month prevalence of COVID-19 in Arab countries and to compare these findings with other significantly affected countries. World Health Organization, Worldometer, and Ministries of Health websites were used to search for COVID-19 data in all Arab countries. The period covered started from February 2020 to February 2021. In all Arab countries, the median age of the population was 26.25 years. As of March 01, 2021, the total number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in all Arab countries was 4,259,756. Bahrain, Qatar, Lebanon, Kuwait, and United Arab Emirates had the highest reported number of confirmed COVID-19 cases per million population. The total number of COVID-19 deaths was 72,950, with predominance in Lebanon, followed by Tunisia, Jordan, Palestine, and Iraq. In comparison with the topmost affected countries, and based on both the highest number of confirmed and deaths per million population, Arab countries ranked second last before India, with 9,646 and 165 cases, respectively. Among the Arab countries, Qatar, Bahrain, and Lebanon showed the highest number of recovered, confirmed, and death cases per million populations, respectively. The number of confirmed and death cases among all Arab countries triggered significant worries about morbidity and mortality of COVID-19, respectively. However, the younger population in Arab countries may have contributed to fewer COVID-19 deaths in comparison with the topmost affected countries.

Abstract BACKGROUND: Recent studies suggest a possible origin of human gliomas from subventricular zone (SVZ) stem cells. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the relationship of World Health Organization grade II gliomas (GIIGs) with the SVZ and to investigate the presence of different genetic patterns, depending on their relationship with the SVZ. METHODS: Forty-three consecutive patients were operated on for GIIG. Preoperative fluid-attenuated inversion recovery-weighted magnetic resonance images were reviewed to assess the presence of cortical involvement and the relationship between gliomas and the SVZ. Patients were divided into 2 groups: group 1, tumors in contact with the SVZ; and group 2, tumors not in contact with the SVZ. Preoperative and postoperative tumor volumes were calculated. Genetic analysis was performed to study 1p19q allelic loss. RESULTS: Twenty-four patients were in group 1 and 19 in group 2. All tumors were in contact with the cortex. Preoperative volume was significantly larger in group 1 than in group 2 (P = .003). The proportion of total and subtotal resections was higher in group 2 (P = .01). Insular tumors never showed 1p19q codeletions. Noninsular tumors exhibited a significantly different incidence of complete 1p19q codeletion, with allelic loss more common in group 1 (P = .03). CONCLUSION: GIIGs showed a constant relationship with the cortex and a larger volume when they came in contact with the ventricles. A distinct genetic pattern was found in noninsular SVZ GIIGs. This parameter can be considered for therapeutic management.

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background Sudden cardiac death is one of the main issues worldwide, with more than 700.000 deaths annually. It is strongly believed that the implementation of "Kids Save Lives" project in schools can change this situation. The World Health Organization endorsed the ‘Kids Save Lives’ project in 2015 in order to reduce mortality. The first chain of survival concerns the recognition of cardiac arrest with chin lift and head tilt manoeuvre of the victim and the feel- look- listen approach. Purpose Τo evaluate the level of theoretical knowledge, as far the recognition of cardiac arrest is concerned in Greek secondary school students before and after the "Kids Save Lives" program and before and after the second year of implementation Material – Method: Data collection took place on the academic periods of 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 and was performed in secondary schools of Thessaly’s region. A total of 4922 students (51,9% female, mean age 14.2 years) participated initially on the "Kids save Lives" program according to the European Resuscitation Council (ERC) and World Health Organization (WHO) statement. 683 of them followed again the same program one year later A 12-point questionnaire was answered by the students before and after the "kid saves lives" program, while practical skills were evaluated on manikins by experienced ERC Basic Life Support (BLS) Instructors. The knowledge of the recognition of cardiac arrest is investigated in this subgroup analysis Results The training improves significantly the theoretical knowledge regarding the recognition of cardiac arrest, with the percentage of correct answers being 58,3% and 96,1%,before and after the course respectively for the first year (p &lt; 0.001). One year later, students answered correct at 83,3% (p &lt; 0,001)  before the course and 96,1% after.  In the practical part of the program, almost all of the participants (98.9%) could recognize the correct position near the victim and 91% perform chin lift manoeuvre and recognize cardiac arrest. The same results were observed in the second year. Conclusions The overall results reveal that the "Kids Save Lives" program can play a important role in improving the theoretical knowledge and  the practical skills of Greek students towards the recognition of cardiac arrest and also indicate that this program should take place for at least 2 years in a row in order to help students maintain their knowledge.

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background Sudden cardiac death is one of the main issues worldwide, with more than 700.000 deaths annually. It is strongly believed that the implementation of "Kids Save Lives" project in schools can change this situation. The World Health Organization endorsed the ‘Kids Save Lives’ project in 2015 in order to reduce mortality, while in countries, where children were taught cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in schools, have higher rates of bystander CPR and higher survival rates. In Greece, this project is a suggestion from  Ministry of Education  to schools. Purpose Τo evaluate the level of theoretical knowledge of secondary school students on the subject of Basic life Support before and after a "Kids Save Lives" program and to compare the results after the first and second year of implementation. Material – Method: Data collection took place on the academic periods of 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 and was performed in secondary schools. A total of 691 students participated on the "Kids save Lives" program in both academic periods according to the European Resuscitation Council (ERC) and World Health Organization (WHO) statement. A 12-point questionnaire was answered by the students before and after the "kids saves lives" program. The same program was performed one year later and the same questionnaire was given to students in order to fill it again before and just after the course Results The training improves significantly the theoretical knowledge regarding Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), with the percentage of correct answers being 48,4% and 82,8%,before and after the first year course respectively (p &lt; 0.001). One year later, students retain a big part of their knowledge before the course (64,1% correct answers), and also improve their performance (87,5% correct answers, p &lt; 0,001) after the course. Conclusions The overall results strongly depict the benefits of "Kids Save Lives" program by improving the theoretical knowledge. The course should performed for at least 2 years in order to attain optimal results of theoretical knowledge. Further research is needed to identify the times a student must follow the program to maximize its effectiveness
