Effect Of COVID-19 On Sleeping Patterns and Its Correlation on Body Weight Gain, Screen Time and Mental Health: A Cross-Sectional Study Among Adolescents in Riyadh

Scientific Reports International – Fourth Issue – October 2, 2022

Abstract

Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic, a rise in unhealthy food consumption occurred because of decreased physical activity and changes in sleeping patterns.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was done in Riyadh City, Saudi Arabia on Saudi parents of children aged 12-18. An online questionnaire assessed physical activity, body weight changes, screen time, sleep patterns, and mental health effects during the lockdown. Participants’ mental health status, was assessed by the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-4).

Results: the mean age of participants was 14.98 ± 2.03 years, 27.3%, and 18.2% were overweight and obese during the COVID-19 pandemic. Of them, 53.1% observed weight gain during the lockdown. Only 20.5% were involved in physical activities, 42.3% used smart devices for more than 3 hours daily, 83.8% had increased screen time and 50.6% noticed an increase in sleeping hours. Almost 25% had mild mental health effects, 16.5% had moderate effects and 8.5% had severe mental health effects, 41.8% had anxiety and 21.6% had depression. A non-significant relationship was found between differences in sleeping hours during lockdown and BMI, dietary habits, physical activity, screen time, school performance, psychological states, the prevalence of mental health disorders, anxiety, or depression. Participants with improvement in school performance during lockdown had a significantly higher mean BMI before and during the pandemic, and a higher percentage of those who noticed an increase in the average time screen use during lockdown compared to before.

Conclusions: evaluating the pandemic’s long-term consequences on adolescents’ behaviors and psychological health is needed.

Empowering Nurses with Robotic Allies: A Review of Current Applications and Future Prospects

Scientific Reports International – Fourth Issue – October 2, 2022

Abstract

The World Health Organization (2021) projects that the proportion of the world’s population aged 60 and older will nearly double from 12% to 22% between 2015 and 2050. This indicates that the rate of growth of the elderly population is significantly faster than in previous eras. As a result, numerous nations encounter substantial challenges pertaining to the well-being of the elderly, necessitating the readiness of social and healthcare infrastructures to capitalize on this demographic transition. As a consequence, certain nations have undertaken the development of technological integrations that enable human interaction, including artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled machines (Oksanen et al., 2020).

Exploring the Impact of Compassionate Care Practices on Patient Outcomes in Critical Care Nursing

Scientific Reports International – Fourth Issue – October 2, 2022

Abstract

Within the dynamic field of critical care nursing, which is characterized by its strong demands and the delicate balance between life and death, the significance of compassionate care practices emerges as a beacon of humanity despite the professional rigor that is present. As patients struggle to make sense of the complexities of their diseases and navigate through moments of vulnerability and uncertainty, the work of the critical care nurse goes beyond the conventional medical skill that is typically expected of them. In point of fact, although technical expertise and prompt interventions continue to be of utmost importance, the essence of compassionate care sheds light on a road that leads to holistic healing and outcomes that are driven by the patient.

The impact of Nutrition on the risk of chronic diseases

Scientific Reports International – Fourth Issue – October 2, 2022

Abstract

Amidst a time when chronic illnesses provide a substantial worldwide health challenge, comprehending the complex connection between diet and the risk of disease has become of utmost importance. Chronic diseases, often known as long-term conditions requiring continuous medical treatment, encompass ailments like cardiovascular disorders, malignancies, diabetes mellitus, and Alzheimer’s disease. Furthermore, these disorders are among the primary factors contributing to mortality on a global scale. Although genetic predispositions and environmental variables contribute to the development of diseases, there is increasing evidence highlighting the significant influence of nutrition on the risk of chronic diseases.

The impact of using robots in surgical operations

Scientific Reports International – Fourth Issue – October 2, 2022

Abstract

Despite general surgeons being largely responsible for laparoscopic surgical advancements, robotics utilization in general surgery is shockingly low. Foregut, biliary, bariatric, colorectal, and endocrine surgeries are the most popular robotic-assisted operation areas. There is no significant difference in the results between laparoscopic and robotic Nissen fundoplication in foregut surgeries. assisted by robots Research on Heller moto-me for achalasia has similarly shown minimal perforation rates. Several writers have raised the possibility of robotic surgery for more complex patients; nevertheless, additional research is required before any definitive conclusions can be made. Robotically applying gastric banding during bariatric surgery has not proven as effective as laparoscopy. On the other hand, for more intricate bariatric treatments involving intracorporeal suturing, some have proposed that robotic surgery could enhance results. General surgeons’ reluctance to fully adopt this new technology may have sprung from a combination of factors. The utilization of intricate robotics appears to be unnecessary for straightforward tasks. The robot’s capabilities are severely hampered during more complicated procedures, especially those requiring it to traverse across many quadrants. It is also difficult to implement because there is no tool for stapling, sealing, and cutting the bowel, though this could be fixed in the future.

The Significance of 3D Imaging in Enhancing Oral Health and Diagnostic Accuracy

Scientific Reports International – Fourth Issue – October 2, 2022

Abstract

The objective of diagnostic and treatment planning in dentistry is to determine an appropriate treatment plan by assessing the initial condition of the patient’s anatomy using several imaging sources. Historically, the imaging sources, such as x-rays and pictures, have primarily come from two-dimensional film-based systems. However, in more recent times, they have also been obtained using 2D digital imaging systems (Pauwels, 2020). Dental imaging is utilized for the development of different treatment strategies, tracking the progress of treatment, and assessing the results of treatment.
