ABSTRACT
In today’s scenario accelerating cost of health significantly impact the health of people and the populace creat-ing a monetary burden on poor households. One of the key concerns while tackling healthcare disparities is out-of-pocket expenses (OOPE). Providing financial safety and provide universal coverage to the entire popu-lace are the main goal of health schemes. Health policies in India are based on equity prioritising the needs of the poor and underprivileged. Likewise, there is a discrepancy in the consistency of information and knowledge regarding the scheme among the beneficiaries. A review was created to help medical and nursing professionals to gain comprehensive knowledge of various health schemes. We tried to give an overview of various health schemes including Ayushman Bharat Yojana, Aam Aadmi Bima Yojana (AABY), Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana (PMSBY), Rashtriya Swasthya BimaYojana (RSBY), Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS), Employees State Insurance Scheme (ESIC), Employee Health Scheme and various state-level health schemes. include, Yeshasvini Health Insurance Scheme, Mahatma Jyotiba Phule Jan Arogya Yojana, Chief Min-ister Comprehensive Health Insurance Scheme, Mukhyamantri Amrutum Yojana, Karunya Health Scheme, Awaz Health Insurance Scheme, Telangana State Govt Employees and Journalist Health Scheme, Dr Ysr Aarog-yastri Health Care Trust, Mukhyamantri Chiranjeevi Yojana, Rajasthan Government Health Scheme (RGHS), and Aarogya Raksha.
ABSTRACT
Continuous improvement and evolution in various fields are crucial to ensure a better living environment for everyone. To achieve this, researchers have a significant responsibility to produce valuable research in concerned areas. However, dedicated researchers often face various obstacles, such as financial stress, which can hinder their ability to conduct research. To support Ph.D. scholars, many central and state government funding agencies offer financial assistance schemes. In this regard, the Government of Gujarat has initiated a scheme called SHODH – ScHeme Of Developing High quality research to provide financial support to Ph.D. scholars from recognized universities/institutes of the state to produce quality research in various disciplines. However, it is essential to understand the impact of the scheme's benefits from the perspective of the beneficiary candidates, especially those belonging to different economic statuses. Therefore, a study has been conducted to explore the opinions of beneficiary candidates of the SHODH scheme about the scheme's selected aspects and whether their opinions differ based on their economic status. The study adopts a causal-comparative research method to gain insight into the requirements of research scholars belonging to different economic statuses. This information will enable better facilitation of scholars to produce meaningful research in their respective fields.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the current status and influencing factors of medical narrative competence among nurses in Luzhou, offering theoretical insights for improving nurses′ narrative competence.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional survey. From July 2021 to January 2022, using convenience sampling method, 267 nurses from Zhongshan Area of Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University, Kangjian Area of Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University and the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital Affiliated to Southwest Medical University were investigated by the general information questionnaire, Narrative Competence Scale, Nurses′ Perceived Professional Benefits Questionnaire And Perceived Social Support Scale.Results:The total scores of narrative competence of the 267 nurses was (142.25 ± 19.03), nurses′ perceived professional benefits was (137.16 ± 15.89) and perceived social support was (65.86 ± 10.38). The results of multiple linear regression showed that nurses′ perceived professional benefits and perceived social support were the important factors affecting their narrative ability ( t = 5.09 and 5.95, both P<0.05), which could account for 35.7% of the total variation of narrative competence.

ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To provide a reference for strengthening the post-admission management of drugs on the medicare formulary in China. METHODS The basic situation， implementation process and effect of post-market reviews （PMR） were introduced after marketing approval of the Australian pharmaceutical benefits scheme （PBS） subsidized medicines. The suggestions were put forward for post-admission management of medicare formulary drugs in China. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS PMR system exemplified Australia’s concept of life-cycle management of medicines on the PBS catalogue； as a mechanism for managing the admission and adjustment of PBS medicines， it provided a continuous evaluation of medicines in the PBS catalogue； the process mainly included two types： the pre-initiation process of PBS drug review and the PBS drug review process， involving steps such as drug selection， determination of review scope， and implementation management. Through PMR， Australia had completed the review of multiple medicines in nine treatment areas including diabetes， childhood asthma and Alzheimer’s disease in the PBS catalogue. The author suggests that China can improve the post-admission review of medicines at the institutional level （clarifying the selection criteria and methods of the review object， main procedures and responsible parties， and ensuring the transparency of the review process）； specify the National Healthcare Security Administration or the third-party organization until a special technical organization is established to take charge of this work； at the same time， further improve the construction of data collection and monitoring systems.
ABSTRACT
RESUMEN INTRODUCCIÓN: La práctica de la neurología como especialidad clínica es relativamente reciente en Colombia, a pesar de que esta área ha mostrado progresos académicos significativos; la información sociodemográfica es limitada. OBJETIVO: Describir las características sociodemográficas de los neurólogos laboralmente activos en Colombia. METODOLOGÍA: Estudio descriptivo en dos periodos. La información se obtuvo mediante encuestas autodiligenciadas a los asistentes al Congreso Nacional de Neurología del año 2016; la del 2020 se recolectó empleando cuestionarios en línea a través de formularios Google. RESULTADOS: Se contabilizaron 549 neurólogos laboralmente activos en el territorio colombiano. El análisis de las muestras 2016 y 2020 mostró que la mayor proporción de estos especialistas se concentraba en Bogotá (45,4 %), Medellín (13,4 %) y Cali (8,4 %), con una ocupación escasa en ciudades no capitales. La comparación de horas laborales e ingresos económicos al analizar 2016 y 2020 no mostró diferencias. El mayor tiempo de ejercicio se correlacionó con mayores ingresos, tanto en el 2016 (p < 0,001) como en el 2020 (p < 0,01). CONCLUSIONES: Excepto por el incremento en la población de nuevos neurólogos, las características socio-demográficas de los neurólogos en Colombia se mantienen sin variaciones al comparar los años 2016 y 2020.
ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION: Neurology practice is relatively recent in Colombia. Even though this area has shown significant academic advances, information regarding sociodemographic conditions is limited. OBJECTIVE: To describe sociodemographic characteristics of neurologists who are currently active in Colombia. METHODS: Descriptive study over two time periods. The information was obtained by means of self-administered surveys to the neurologists attending the neurology national congress in 2016. In 2020, data was collected by means of on-line questionnaires using google forms. RESULTS: The sample included 549 neurologists. The largest proportion of these specialists were located in Bogotá (45.4 %), Medellín (13.4 %) and Cali (8.4 %). After comparing working hours per week and income we did not identify differences between these 2 years. The time of work experience was correlated with economic income both in 2016 (p<0.001) as in 2020 (p<0.01). CONCLUSION: Except for increasing number of neurologists of recent graduation, the sociodemographic characteristics of Colombian neurologists remain stable when comparing 2016 and 2020.

Se encontró que el ejercicio físico realizado de forma constante, con intensidad moderada o vigorosa reduce los factores de riesgo cardiovascular en personas adultas, aun cuando estas personas ya tienen presente el riesgo cardiovascular. Las intervenciones más frecuentes fueron: ejercicio funcional, caminata, correr y ciclismo. Conclusiones: Los beneficios de la actividad física no es algo de nueva exploración, no obstante, es relevante identificar el tipo de actividad física con mayor aceptación y efectos significativos en el estado de salud.
Abstract Objective: To examine the effects of physical exercise on people's health with cardiovascular risk and to explore their characteristics. Materials and methods: A systematic review study was developed. Clinical trials, experimental, quasiexperimetal and exploratory studies published from 2015 to 2021 were included. The PRISMA methodology was used. This review was conducted from May to July 2021, three databases were consulted: PudMed, Google Academic and Redalyc; The descriptors used were: Physical Activity, Cardiovascular Risk, Adults, using the Boolean operator "AND" to make connections between the descriptors. Results: Physical exercise showed a significant effect on cardiovascular risk factors, among these effects there was a decrease in blood pressure, glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides and body mass index. It was found that physical exercise performed constantly, with moderate or vigorous intensity reduces cardiovascular risk factors in adults, even when these people already have cardiovascular risk present. The most frequent interventions were: functional exercise, walking, running and cycling. Conclusions: The benefits of physical activity are not something to be explored again, however, it is relevant to identify the type of physical activity with greater acceptance and significant effects on the state of health.
ABSTRACT
Resumo O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a tendência temporal dos benefícios previdenciários concedidos pelo Instituto Nacional do Seguro Social a mulheres por câncer de mama. Foi realizado um estudo de tendência temporal das taxas de incidência dos auxílios por incapacidade temporária de espécie previdenciária concedidos por câncer de mama em mulheres entre 2007 e 2018 no Brasil, utilizando o Sistema Único de Informações de Benefícios e a base de dados abertos da Previdência Social. As análises de tendência foram realizadas através de regressão segmentada joinpoint. As taxas de incidência dos benefícios ajustadas por idade apresentaram estabilidade entre 2007 e 2015, seguida de elevação anual de 6,7% de 2015 a 2018. Houve aumento anual médio de 3,4% do número de benefícios concedidos a mulheres entre 20 e 49 anos, sendo mais evidente entre 2015 e 2018, com elevação de 10,4% ao ano. Este estudo demonstrou a importância do câncer de mama como causa de afastamento do trabalho em mulheres, com acometimento crescente das faixas etárias mais jovens e economicamente ativas, o que reforça a necessidade de abordagem precoce do Programa de Reabilitação Profissional da Previdência Social para a readaptação destas trabalhadoras em suas atividades ou a reinserção no mercado de trabalho.
Abstract The aim of this study was to assess temporal trends in disability benefits for breast cancer awarded to women by Brazil's National Social Security Institute. We conducted a time-series analysis of disability benefit incidence rates between 2007 and 2018 using joinpoint regression and data from the Unified Benefits Information System (SUIBE) and open access social security system database. The age-adjusted incidence rate increased by 6.7% per year between 2015 and 2018 after a period of stability between 2007 and 2014. The number of benefits granted to women aged 20-49 increased, on average, by 3.4% per year, showing a marked rise from 2015 to 2018 (10.4% per year). The findings highlight that breast cancer is an important cause of sick leave among female workers and that the incidence of the disease is growing in younger economically active women, reinforcing the importance of early referral to the Social Security Professional Rehabilitation Program to help workers return to work and readapt to working life.
ABSTRACT
Resumen: En los últimos años se han realizado estudios de asociación del genoma completo, con el objetivo de identificar variantes genéticas asociadas a la interindividualidad de la respuesta a tratamientos dietéticos para la pérdida de peso. Estos esfuerzos de la genómica nutricional contribuyen con los avances de la ciencia de la nutrición 4.0: preventiva, participativa, predictiva y personalizada. Sin embargo, aunque a la fecha se ha descubierto millones de polimorfismos en el genoma humano, estos hallazgos no indican que la presencia de estas variaciones determina un efecto sobre la salud del individuo. Por lo anterior, el uso del perfil nutrigenético para la pérdida de peso conduce a un análisis sobre riesgos y beneficios a la luz de los principios bioéticos centrados en la unidad, individualidad y unicidad de la persona humana. Así, con base en pensadores clásicos como Aristóteles y Tomás de Aquino, pero con la contribución de filósofos contemporáneos, como Robert Spaemman, se define a la persona como sustancia individual de naturaleza racional, desglosando las dimensiones fundamentales para demostrar, por argumentación, que el principio de individualidad no solo incluye la dimensión biológica (naturalismo materialista), sino la unidad de la persona perteneciente a la naturaleza humana.
Abstract: In recent years, whole genome association studies have been conducted to identify genetic variants associated with the interindividuality of response to dietary treatments for weight loss. These nutritional genomics efforts contribute to the advancement of nutrition science 4.0: preventive, participatory, predictive and personalized. However, although to date more than 85 million polymorphisms have been discovered in the human genome, these findings do not indicate that the presence of these variations determines an effect on a personal health. Therefore, the use of the nutrigenetic profile for weight loss leads to analyze the risks/benefits with the bioethical principles focused on the unity, individuality and uniqueness of the human person. Thus, based on classical thinkers such as Aristotle and Thomas Aquinas, but with the contribution of contemporary philosophers, such as Robert Spaemman, the person is defined as an individual substance of a rational nature, breaking down the fundamental dimensions to demonstrate, by argumentation, that the principle individuality not only includes the biological dimension (materialistic naturalism), but the unity of the person belonging to human nature.

ABSTRACT
Background: In India, most individuals with an intellectual disability live with their families. The present study examines the perceived burden of family members, treatment expectations, and awareness of disability benefits for adult individuals with Intellectual Disability (ID). Methodology: A sample of 50 individuals registered in an Adult Psychiatry Unit was referred for intelligence assessment. The assessment was done using standardized psychological tests. Data was gathered using a semi-structured interview schedule during counselling the participants’ family members. Data obtained was examined using descriptive statistics. Results: Average age of participants was 27.5 years, and the majority 64%, were male patients. Comorbid conditions such as seizure disorder, psychosis and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) were present in 46 % of the sample. Caregivers were primarily parents, and a higher level of family burden was due to behavioural problems. Half (50 %) of the sample was unaware of disability benefits. Conclusion: Findings indicate the need to address caregiver burden and plan psychosocial rehabilitation and improve awareness about disability benefits and its implications more consistently across India.

ABSTRACT
La Organización Mundial de la Salud recomendó utilizar pruebas de laboratorio en individuos sintomáticos que cumplan criterios de caso Covid-19 tan pronto como sea posible desde el inicio de la enfermedad con enfoque de casos. Con el objetivo de mostrar el beneficio del uso de pruebas de laboratorio para Covid-19 sobre el ausentismo laboral, reportamos el caso de una empresa constructora de la ciudad de Lima, cuya evaluación se realizó entre junio 2020 y 2021. Se observó que la utilización de pruebas de laboratorio para casos sospechosos de Covid-19 permitió una disminución del 54% de días de ausentismo laboral proyectado y un ahorro de 51% respecto al costo proyectado de días de ausentismo laboral por casos descartados de la Covid-19. El uso de pruebas de laboratorio para Covid-19 resultó beneficioso, disminuyendo el ausentismo innecesario.
SUMMARY The World Health Organization recommended to use laboratory tests in symptomatic individuals that fulfill suspicion criteria for Covid-19 as soon as symptoms started. To show the benefits of using laboratory tests on work absenteeism we report the case of a building company in Lima from June 2020 to 2021. Using laboratory tests work absenteeism reduced in 54% and savings were increased in 51% compared to a projected scenario. The use of Covid-19 tests was beneficial, reducing unnecessary work absenteeism.

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: Data on physicians' income are relevant for well-informed health policies, both due to their strategic role and the volume of resources that their activities represent to health systems. In Brazil, multiple sources of data measure the income of these professionals, each one with singularities that generate a complex and heterogeneous picture. This study explores the methodological aspects of different data sources, pointing to potentials and limitations to measuring the income of physicians. METHODS: We use the sources' documentation and data on the average monthly income in 2019, by gender and macro region, from four distinct surveys: Continuous Pnad (National Household Sample Survey), RAIS (Annual Listing of Social Information), Medical Demographics, and IRPF (Personal Income Tax). RESULTS: The results confirm the heterogeneity of definitions, variables, and methodologies. The data set can evidence phenomena such as the income difference between men and women. Regional inequalities are evident; however, the data interpretation is less assertive. CONCLUSIONS: Although eventual gaps and discrepancies among sources can limit some strong conclusions, the analysis of different methodologies employed can suggest relevant hypotheses for in-depth studies.
ABSTRACT
Takra (buttermilk) is included under the Pathya kalpna (dietetic preparations) because of its use as both medicine and a dietary regime.
