Abstract: The efficacy of mouthwash for reducing the viral load in patients with the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) remains unclear. This systematic review and meta-analysis comprehensively examined the effects of chlorhexidine (CHX) and povidone-iodine (PVP-I) on the viral load in patients with COVID-19. We performed methodological analysis, systematic review, and meta-analysis of included studies using the Comprehensive Meta-analysis Software. PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and ProQuest were searched from December 1, 2019, to December 2, 2021. In total, we included 10 studies of 1,339 patients with COVID-19. Compared with the control group, both CHX and PVP-I significantly reduced the number of negative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) results (p .001) among COVID-19 patients. The CHX and PVP-I were effective on reducing the number of negative RT-PCR results in COVID-19 patients. Additional studies using adequate randomization methods and larger s les are warned.

Abstract: Studies on the effect of transitional care on hospital readmissions have reported inconsistent findings, and the effect on mortality has not been reviewed systematically. This systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials aims to examine the effect of transitional care interventions on COPD-related readmissions, all-cause hospital readmissions, and all-cause mortality rates in subjects with COPD. Electronic databases (CINAHL, Embase, Scopus, MEDLINE, Cochrane, PubMed, Web of Science, Airity, BMJ Respiratory Research Journal, and National Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations) were searched from inception to April 26, 2017. Online searches were conducted using key words and MeSH terms for COPD and transitional care. Entry terms for searching included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, COPD, COPD transitional care or care transition, continuity of patient care, patient discharge, and patient transfer. The quality of the included trials was assessed using the Cochrane Collaboration tool. 13 randomized controlled trials met the inclusion criteria. Transitional care significantly reduced the risk of COPD-related readmissions (odds ratio = 0.599, 95% CI 0.421-0.852) and all-cause hospital readmissions (odds ratio = 0.720, 95% CI 0.531-0.978), but not that of all-cause mortality (odds ratio = 0.863, 95% CI 0.576-1.294) in subjects with COPD. The effects of transitional care on hospital readmissions were moderated by the duration of interventions, type of care providers, and use of telephone follow-up as an element of the intervention. There was a significant effect of transitional care on both COPD-related and all-cause hospital readmissions in subjects with COPD. Duration of interventions, type of care providers, and use of telephone follow-up appeared to moderate the beneficial effects of transitional care.

Abstract: Reduced peak expiratory flow is a common physiological change in older in iduals and age is an important predictor for sarcopenia. We analyzed nationwide survey data to determine the relationship between peak expiratory flow rate and sarcopenia in older Indonesians. Community-dwelling Indonesian in iduals aged ≥60 years (n = 2422 mean age = 67.21 y) from the fifth-wave data of the Indonesian Family Life Survey was selected. Sarcopenia was diagnosed based on handgrip strength, gait speed, and appendicular skeletal muscle mass measurements. Peak expiratory flow rates (PEFRs) were categorized according to their percentage of predicted flow rates as %, 50% to 80%, and %. Confounders previously determined to be associated with sarcopenia occurrence were included. Sarcopenia prevalence was 50.25%. After adjustment for confounders, PEFRs of % and 50% to 80% were associated with an increased sarcopenia risk (odds ratio = 5.22 and 1.88, respectively) compared with PEFRs of %. Poor lung function was independently associated with sarcopenia occurrence. Future studies should explore the usefulness of PEFR as a risk factor of sarcopenia.

Abstract: Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers and a major cause of death in women worldwide. Chemotherapy is mainly used to treat and control the progression of breast cancer. Leukopenia is the most common side effect of chemotherapy which may decrease immune function and further lead to serious fatal infections. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of acupuncture on regulating hematopoietic function in chemotherapy-induced leukopenia among patients with breast cancer. PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CINAHL Plus, Web of Science, and Chinese articles in the Airiti Library and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) databases were searched to August 2021 for papers to include in a systematic review and meta-analysis. A random-effects model was applied. The effect size was calculated by Hedges’ g. Heterogeneity was determined using Cochran’s Q test. Moderator analyses were performed to examine potential sources of heterogeneity. A trial sequential analysis (TSA) was conducted to determine whether the current s le size was sufficient. Ten randomized controlled trials involving 650 participants were eligible for inclusion. Analysis by the random-effects model showed a significant effect by acupuncture of ameliorating leukopenia during chemotherapy. Levels of white blood cells (WBCs) were increased (Hedges’ g = 0.70, P .001, I 2 = 34%), neutrophil counts (Hedges’ g = 0.80, P .001, I 2 = 0%) were significantly enhanced. Moreover, regardless of the manner through which acupuncture was applied, overall values of WBCs increased. The current meta-analysis supports acupuncture possibly ameliorating chemotherapy-induced leukopenia, as WBC and neutrophil values significantly increased after acupuncture in patients undergoing chemotherapy. Additionally, regardless of the type of acupuncture, values of WBCs increased. These findings are actionable and support both the clinical use of acupuncture to relieve chemotherapy-induced leukopenia and further research regarding the use of acupuncture in patients experiencing immunosuppression when undergoing chemotherapy.

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Natural disasters led to environmental destruction, casualties, and fatality. Disasters have been associated with post-traumatic disorders among affected community, thus, it is important to understand capability and resilience level post-disasters. AIM: This study aims to determine the degree of environmental change and the capacity of adaptation associate to the levels of community resilience among earthquake victims in Lombok, Indonesia. METHODS: A number of 129 respondents were recruited using clustered random s ling design. Data were collected using the adaptation capacity framework and the resilience brief scale questionnaire by face-to-face interviews. Significant level was set as p = 0.05 with 95% confidence interval. A Chi-square statistical test and logistic regression were used to test hypothesis. RESULTS: A number of 129 respondents included in the study. Bivariate analysis indicated a significant correlation between environmental changed, adaptation capacity, and community resilience. Environmental changed was predictor that statistically significant predicted community resilience (ß = 2.425, p 0.001). CONCLUSION: The level of environmental destruction was significantly predicted the level of community resilience.
