The effect of honey on post-tonsillectomy pain relief: a randomized clinical trial

Abstract Objective: The study aimed to evaluate the effects of honey on the incidence of post-operative pain in patients undergoing tonsillectomy. Methods: This study is a double-blind and randomized controlled trial design. Twenty-four adult male patients underwent tonsillectomy surgery and were randomized assigned into three groups consist of honey group, placebo group, and control group. All subjects were given standard analgesia and antibiotics, also honey for the honey group and placebo for the placebo group, and only standard post-operative regimens for the control group. This study used silk-cotton tree or kapok tree honey (Ceiba pentandra). Honey was used by gargling every six hours for ten days. Likewise, the same method was applied in the placebo group. Pain scale was assessed for ten days using the Visual Analogue Scale questionnaire, and the frequency of analgesic drugs was recorded on days 1, 2, 4, 7, and 10. Result: Honey group showed significantly higher pain reduction when compared to placebo and control groups, with a significant reduction in the pain scale on day 1, 2, 4, 7 and 10 (p = 0.034; p = 0.003; p < 0.001; p = 0.001; p = 0.001) gradually; Significant differences were also observed in analgesic use, especially on day 2, 4 and 7 (p = 0.028; p = 0.001; p = 0.003). Conclusions: Administration of Kapok tree honey (C. pentandra) after tonsillectomy might reduce post-operative pain and reduce the need for analgesia. Therefore, honey can be considered a complementary medicine and can be administered routinely as adjunctive therapy for post-operative patients.

Urban Flood Relief Management in COVID-19 Pandemic

Introduction: Urban floods were addressed as a separate disaster after the historical 2005 Mumbai floods. Urban flood peaks are 2-8 times and volume 6 times when compared with rural floods. We are now handling multiple disasters simultaneously due to the Covid-19 Pandemic. The river plains of north India are prone to floods in the monsoon season and geographical location of Prayagraj doubles the damage because it faces wrath from two sides. Very few researches have been conducted on urban floods and evidence needs to be generated from the field. Methodology: This qualitative research was planned with an objective to identify the difficulties faced in operating an urban flood relief camp during superimposed burden of COVID-19 Pandemic and to suggest remedial measures from the public health aspect. We conducted in-depth interviews of nodal officers, health staff and beneficiaries of the identified camps. Informed consent was taken from participant after explaining them about the research. Results: The findings from the interviews were categorized into 3phases of flood relief i.e. before the floods, during floods and lastly post flood. The most crucial work before floods is to spread awareness about do’s and don’ts in detail. Next was identification of the local people actually affected by flood. The space and facilities at few centers was low for the population load. Urban flood management needs a major overhauling of public health infrastructure to handle such disasters in future. Conclusion: The officials were working hard to make the homeless feel as if they are on a picnic. The database of beneficiaries should be strengthened and should also include students and labourers, anyone who is a flood victim and not only local flood victims.

Analysis of Decision-making Data for Payment of Adverse Drug Reaction Relief System to Over-the-counter Drugs to Promote Their Proper Use / 社会薬学

Adverse Drug Reaction Relief System is intended for people who suffer adverse health effects from drugs despite their proper use, including over-the-counter (OTC) drugs. The decision-making data for the payment of relief benefits associated with OTC drugs and the instructions-for-use provided by community pharmacists and registered retailers were investigated. The results showed that the relief benefit nonpayment rate for OTC drugs was 3.9% and the number of cases was 9, of which 5 were due to improper use. Among the OTC drugs covered by relief benefits, the most common were schedule II pharmaceuticals, which were sometimes used in combination with prescription drugs. These results suggest that pharmacists and registered retailers should check for the use of concomitant drugs (e.g., with drug notebooks) at the time of the OTC drug sale. Pharmacists and registered retailers should provide a detailed explanation of the drugs to consumers and confirm that the information is understood, especially when schedule II pharmaceuticals or psychotropic drugs are sold. Additionally, information on the initial symptoms of an adverse drug reaction and treatment should be provided to prevent serious reactions. Follow-up with consumers during OTC drug use may also reduce the risk of misuse.

The impact of serving in disaster relief among volunteers in Malaysia / 中华创伤杂志(英文版)

PURPOSE@#Malaysian disaster relief volunteers have a long and proud history of participating in relief missions within and outside the country. Despite of a plethora of researches into the various areas of disaster relief, there has been a little scholarly activity looking into the experiences of the medical volunteers worldwide and even less research on the experiences of the relief volunteers in Malaysia. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to identify the effect of disaster relief works on volunteers in Malaysia.@*METHODS@#This is a non-experimental cross-sectional design study, which was conducted using survey questionnaire to examine the incidence of burnout, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms and the quality of life (QOL) among the disaster relief volunteers. And the study also examined the socio-demographic variables of the participants. In addition, the association between the sociodemographic variable and the preferred coping strategies was also investigated through self-reporting checklist.@*RESULTS@#The findings of this study revealed that 90.9% volunteers (n = 312) experienced some levels of recurring stress throughout their lives, which led to burnout. Also, 96.8% (n = 332) of the participants were categorized as having at least some symptoms of PTSD. However, self-reporting QOL measurements indicated that the participants are, in general, satisfied with their lives. Significant associations between the incidence of burnout, incidence of PTSD and QOL were identified. Both positive coping measures and behavioral or avoidant coping measures were also identified. Furthermore, a number of socio-demographic factors were also seen to interact significantly with burnout, PTSD and QOL.@*CONCLUSION@#This study provides some insights into the psychological challenges of disaster relief volunteers in Malaysia, and this impact can last a long time after the volunteers return to their hometowns. Several recommendations including practice development, policy and research were discussed in the study.

Evaluating the Pilot Usability for Telenursing-based Cancer Pain Monitoring System

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the pilot usability used in a telenursing-based cancer pain monitoring system. Health care providers and advanced cancer patients who visited a hospital as outpatients (n=10/group) used and evaluated the system using a Web Usability Scale (WUS) and free description. Of the WUS seven factors, “comprehensibility” and “content reliability” received good evaluation, and “ease of operation”, “visual effects”, “responsiveness”, “usefulness”, and “acceptablity” didn’t received good evaluation. In the free description, the system was evaluated to enhance self-management of cancer pain, a request for expansion of operation, and social issues were shown. Improving patient usability is an issue, and sufficient orientation is required to verify the effects.

Tramadol versus placebo for labor analgesia in low risk women: a randomized controlled trial

Background: In low- and middle-income countries epidural analgesia is generally not available and practically no form of labor analgesia is given to the majority of the parturient. The purpose of study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of tramadol as a labor analgesic during first stage of labor.Methods: Pregnant women admitted in the labor room satisfying the eligibility criteria were randomized to receive intramuscular injection of either 100 mg tramadol or 2 ml distilled water. Visual analogue score (VAS) was assessed at the beginning and every hour till 4 hours. Pain satisfaction, duration of second stage of labor, fetal heart rate, mode of delivery, and any maternal side effects of the study drug were recorded. Neonatal evaluation using Apgar score at 1 and 5 minutes was done. For statistical analysis Student t-test, Chi Square test and Fisher’s exact test were used.Results: Total of 86 women were included in the study. The VAS scores were significantly lower in the tramadol group at 1, 2 and 3 hours after the administration. Pain relief satisfaction was significantly higher in the tramadol group. Rate of cervical dilatation, duration of the second and the third stage, need for instrumental delivery or lower segment caesarean section, rate of fetal distress and Apgar score at one and five minutes were comparable in both the groups. Nausea was significantly higher in tramadol group.Conclusions: Tramadol is a safe and efficacious drug which is inexpensive, easily available and easy to administer with few minor side effects. It can be used as a labour analgesic as an alternative to epidural analgesia in settings where epidural analgesia is not available. Trial registration: Clinicaltrials.gov PRS registration number: NCT02999594.

A análise obedeceu aos pressupostos da análise de conteúdo, emergindo três categorias temáticas: O cotidiano de trabalho dos profissionais em relação ao acolhimento e classificação de risco; Dificuldade do usuário em compreender a classificação de risco estabelecida pelos profissionais; Importância da capacitação para atuação em equipe no acolhimento com classificação de risco. Resultados: Os usuários possuem pouco conhecimento sobre o acolhimento com classificação de risco, assim como sobre o funcionamento do mesmo. Os profissionais não se sentem preparados para trabalhar com esse sistema em função da falta de treinamento adequado, por vezes classificando os usuários de forma inadequada, o que pode agravar o quadro clínico e o prognóstico, além de dificultar a efetivação da integralidade do cuidado. Conclusão: Evidenciou-se que os usuários não têm clareza a respeito dos critérios utilizados para a realização do Protocolo de acolhimento com classificação de risco, gerando conflitos entre profissionais e usuários. Há necessidade de se repensar as formas de esclarecer os usuários quanto à importância desse sistema.

Objective: To know health professionals' and users' perceptions of user embracement and risk classification in an urgency/emergency service. Methods: A qualitative exploratory descriptive study was conducted in an urgency/emergency center of a hospital in the countryside of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Data were collected in August and September 2017 through semi-structured interviews with 15 health professionals and nine service users. The analysis followed the assumptions of content analysis and three thematic categories emerged: Professionals' daily work in relation to user embracement and risk classification; User's difficulty in understanding the risk classification made by professionals; Importance of training for teamwork in user embracement with risk classification Results: The users have little knowledge about user embracement with risk classification and its functioning. The professionals do not feel prepared to work with this system due to lack of adequate training and sometimes end up inappropriately classifying the users, which may worsen the clinical picture and prognosis in addition to hindering the delivery of comprehensive care. Conclusion: The users do not understand clearly the criteria adopted to carry out the user embracement with risk classification protocol, which generates conflicts between professionals and users. There is a need to rethink ways to inform users about the importance of this system.

Challenges and enlightenments of SPARC program on acupuncture and moxibustion researches in China / 中国针灸

The advantages of western medical research were analyzed and the differences between skin nerve stimulation in western medicine and acupuncturemoxibustion in TCM were compared, so as to inspire the scientific researches of acupuncture and moxibustion in China. The related literature was searched and the research basis, content and achievements of the American stimulating peripheral activity to relief condition (SPARC) program were systematically summarized. From the perspectives of theoretical system, stimulation site, stimulation method and mechanism of action, the similarities and differences between skin nerve stimulation in western medicine and acupuncturemoxibustion in TCM were compared. Through comparative analysis, it is found that the systematic construction of SPARC "high-resolution neural circuit map" is essentially the upgraded version of the traditional distribution map of meridians and acupoints in China, which is similar to the research on origin of nervous system and stimulation site of acupuncturemoxibustion of TCM. Under the impact of "localization of traditional Chinese medicine" in other countries, learning from the international advanced research technology, gathering top-level talents, and encouraging openness and innovation will be the necessary pathway to improve the quality of acupuncturemoxibustion research and master the power of knowledge initiative.

A Review of the Relief System for Adverse Drug Reaction Caused by the HPV Vaccine / 医薬品情報学

Objective: The Relief System for Sufferers from Adverse Drug Reactions was created for the purpose of remedying issues such as medical expenses for people who experience an adverse drug reaction despite the proper use of a medicine.Methods: We used “decision data on adverse drug reaction payments” released by the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency to investigate the payment of all medical supplies for adverse drug reactions associated with the HPV vaccine over the 7-year period between 2011 and 2017.Results: The HPV vaccine had a lower rate of supply than all other medical supplies. Medical costs and medical allowance accounted for the majority of supplies for the HPV vaccine. The most common response was “A causal linkage between adverse reactions and the HPV vaccine cannot be confirmed”, followed by “It is not recognized as medical care requiring hospitalization”.Conclusion: Many patients with an adverse drug reaction received no medical supplies, mainly for the reason of “undecidable”. With regard to these patients, it may be necessary to carry out a survey so that they can be judged rather than classifying them as ‘undecidable’.

Attitude Survey about Adverse Drug Reactions Relief System for Pharmacists of Insurance Dispensing Pharmacies and Examination of Its Problems / 医薬品情報学

Objectives: “Adverse Drug Reaction Relief System” (hereinafter called the Relief System) has been established to provide prompt relief to patients experiencing health damage caused by adverse drug reactions. Since 2018, the Relief System has required community pharmacies that acquire additional points as local support system to actively report adverse drug reactions. Here, we investigated the recognition and utilization of the relief system among community pharmacists.Method: A questionnaire survey was conducted among community pharmacists between August 1 and September 30, 2019.Results: The survey achieved a response rate of 58.1%. The recognition rates of the relief system and Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) as its application destination were 98.9 and 74.5%, respectively. Of the community pharmacists, 2.6% had experience in utilizing the relief system; and 8.8% did not want to recommend the utilization of the relief system for patients mainly because of the “low recognition of the system” and “the complicated and troublesome preparation of the necessary documents such as medical certificates.” The community pharmacists who acquire additional points as local support system, compared with those who do not, achieved significantly higher rates in two items, including that for preparation of the documented procedures pertaining to adverse drug reactions.Conclusion: Despite the high recognition of the relief system among community pharmacists, the percentage of pharmacists with experience in actually utilizing the relief system and applying to the PMDA was low. One reason that the use of the relief system was not widespread was the low recognition particularly of the destination and procedures of reports on adverse drug reactions. In the future, educational campaigns to improve pharmacists’ comprehension of the relief system will be needed. Moreover, pharmacists must play a central role in enhancing the recognition of the public relief system and promoting medical safety.
