AIM: To analyse visual modifications such as amplitude of accommodation, near point of convergence (NPC) reopsis and near phoria associated with asthenopic symptoms after 3D viewing at varying distances. METHODS: A prospective study. Thirty young adults were randomly selected. Each individual was exposed to 3D viewing thrice in a day for a fixed distance and the distance was varied on three consecutive days. Same video of equal duration and different screen sizes were used for every distance. Cyclic 3D mode of K-multimedia player was used for projecting the 3D video. Different variables like stereopsis, amplitude of accommodation, near point of accommodation, near phoria and asthenopic symptoms were recorded immediately after 3D video viewing. Stereopsis was measured with “Toegepast Natuurwetenschappelijk Onderzoek” or “Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research” (TNO test), amplitude of accommodation and NPC were measured using Royal Air Force (RAF) ruler, near phoria was measured using prism bar and a closed ended sample questionnaire was used to know the occurrence of asthenopic symptoms. Statistical analyses were performed using descriptive statistics, paired t-test etc. Qualitative data was analyzed using Chi-square test. RESULTS: For every distance of 40 cm, 3 m and 6 m, amplitude of accommodation was significantly reduced by 0.66 D, 1.12 D and 1.44 D. NPC got significantly receded by 0.63 cm, 0.93 cm and 1.23 cm, and the near phoria was significantly increased by 0.87, and 2.2 prism dioptres (PD) base-in respectively. It was found that most of the subjects got pain around the eyes; headache and irritation for each viewing distance. This study also revealed that 3D video viewing in theaters may increase the symptoms of headache, watering and irritation. Symptoms like headache, watering, fatigue, irritation and nausea may increase considerably at home environment and symptoms such as headache and watering may cause significant discomfort by 3D viewing using a laptop. CONCLUSION: There was a significant difference in amplitude of accommodation, NPC, near phoria and asthenopic symptoms before and after viewing a 3D video and also at three viewing distances. There was a predominant occurrence of asthenopic symptoms after 3D video viewing at different distances.

The pandemic that began in late 2019, COVID-19, affects all patients, including cancer patients. Patients with cancer that continues to spread and  there is no other effective alternative treatment must undergo surgery so that cancer does not get worse. Given this problem, many health care centers have developed a protocol system in the form of a COVID-19-free surgical route. This study is a retrospective cohort study comparing the incidence of pulmonary complications in patients undergoing elective cancer surgery at dr. Moewardi Surakarta before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study sample was adult patients  aged ≥ 18 years which underwent elective surgical procedures with the aim of curative cancer starting before COVID-19 (March 2019-February 2020) until the time the COVID-19 pandemic emerged (March 2020 - February 2021). The data obtained were 768 patients. Of these patients, 384 were classified as having a COVID19-free operation route during the pandemic, and 384 others underwent elective surgery in the pre-pandemic period. Based on the Chi-Square test, a p-value of 0.850 was obtained (P>0.05) which shows that there is significant difference between cases of pulmonary complications in surgical patients before and after the pandemic who were carried out through the COVID-19-free protocol route. In conclusion, there is no significant change in effect of the covid-19 free operation path protocol on the incidence of lung complications in postoperative elective patients at dr. Moewardi Hospital Surakarta, although this patented and mandatory protocol can reduce cancer patients’ morbidity and mortality who undergoing elective surgery during a pandemic.

Background: Burning is one of the worst accidents that people may now experience in modern society. One of the most critical problems of burn patients is the anxiety caused by medical treatments such as burn dressing. The present study aimed to determine the effect of rhythmic breathing on the anxiety of dressing change in burn patients. Materials and Methods: This experimental clinical trial was done on 60 burn hospitalized patients in Ayatollah Mousavi educational-therapeutic hospital of Zanjan province in 2017. The sampling was performed continuously and the samples were randomly assigned to control and experimental groups (30 subjects in each group). The data collection tool included a demographic questionnaire and numerical anxiety scale. First, the demographic characteristics questionnaire was completed by the samples. Then, the rhythmic breathing was taught to the experimental group for 20 minutes until complete learning, and they were asked to perform the rhythmic breathing during dressing. Before and after dressing, anxiety was evaluated in the experimental and control groups for 3 consecutive days. After collecting data and entering them into SPSS 20, data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, chi-square test, independent and dependent t test, and Friedman test. Results: Based on the findings of the study, both groups were homogeneous in terms of age, gender, education, percentage and the degree of burn, and there was no statistically significant difference. The results of the Friedman test showed that the anxiety severity had a statistically significant difference in both control and experimental groups before and after the intervention (P<0.001). However, the severity of anxiety after the intervention further reduced in the experimental group compared to the control group, and this reduction was statistically significant in the experimental group (P<0.001). Conclusion: In general, rhythmic breathing is effective in reducing anxiety caused by a dressing change in burn patients. Thus, this method can be used to decrease the anxiety of dressing.

Abstract Background: Dengue was reintroduced in Brazil in the 80’s. Since 2010, it is estimated that there have been over a million cases of dengue per year, leading to hundreds of deaths. Community health education is one of the main objectives of vector control policies.Objective: Here we compare perceptions and behaviours before and after an educational intervention based on behavioural change theories (BCT) of a group of Endemic Disease Control Agents (ACEs) with a group of college students of Campina Grande city, Paraiba state, Brazil.Methods: Using a distance-learning platform adapted for mobile devices, the intervention consisted of tasks or missions that were presented through short videos with people performing the desired target behaviour. To demonstrate the accomplishment of the tasks, participants produced videos and shared on social networks. A questionnaire was completed before and after the intervention by 58 participants, 31 students and 27 ACEs. Results: Most of the participants were female (83.9% and 72.2% of college students and ACEs, respectively); 27.8% of ACEs attended higher education and 70.4% were married contrasting with 9.8% of the students. Among college students, a significant difference in the chi-square test was found for all ten-target behaviours after the intervention. ANOVA analysis showed that ACEs have a higher perception of susceptibility and more fear of acquiring arboviruses than students do; and there was a correlation between facilitating behaviours with behaviour change. Conclusion: Intervention based on BCT thus contributed to bring students' behaviour patterns closer to those of ACEs.

Objective: To compare the efficacy of organizational measures on helmet use rate of the motorcycle driver and rider in Trang Hospital. Materials and Methods: The present study was a prospective study comparing the helmet use rate before and after the measures including helmet policy, supportive and incentive organizational measure, and penalizing organizational measure. The personnel of Trang Hospital included 1,441 people. There were 637 drive-only personnel, 143 ride-only personnel and 443 drive-ride personnel. The helmet use rate was collected at the front gate of the hospital by closed circuit video camera monitoring during 07:00 am to 08:30 am every day for one week before and after the various measures. The mean helmet use rates were compared by the chi-square test was considered significant at the p value of less than 0.05. Results: The increased rate of helmet use in driver after the supportive and incentive organizational measure and the penalizing organizational measure compared to the helmet use rate before the policy measures were statistically significant (p<0.001). Unlike the increased rate of helmet use in driver and rider after the policy measure compared to the helmet use rate before the policy measure were not statistically significant (p=0.220, 0.470, consecutively). The increased helmet use of the rider after the penalizing organizational measure was statistically significant when compared to the helmet use rate before the policy (p<0.001), and the supportive and incentive measure (p=0.019). However, the increased rate of helmet use in driver after the penalizing organizational measure compared to the helmet use rate after the supportive and incentive organizational measure were not statistically significant (p=0.990). Conclusion: Only the policy measure has not significantly increased the rate of helmet use in both drivers and riders. The supportive and incentive organizational measure have significantly increased the helmet use rate in the drivers, but not significantly increased the rate of helmet use in the riders. However, the penalizing organizational measure has significantly increased the rate of helmet use in the riders, but not significantly increased the rate of helmet use in the drivers.
