The document summarizes an Acceptance and Cognitive Restructuring Intervention Program (ACRIP) developed to address Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) in adolescents. It describes how the ACRIP was developed based on cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness theories. The 8-module program was tested in previous studies and shown to effectively reduce IGD symptoms and improve psychological well-being. The document recommends adopting the ACRIP for treating IGD through telemedicine given its proven efficacy and the need to address this emerging public health issue.
Aim: This study investigated the eff ect of video games on Critical fl ickering fusion frequency rate
(CFFFR).
Background: CFFFR is the rate of successive light fl ashes from a stationary light source at which the
sensation of fl icker disappears and the light becomes steady. CFFFR with higher values suggested that
greater perceptual accuracy. The eye and brain act together to perceive fl ickering light. The activities
in the retina and brain are synchronized as a part of the visual process. If the modulation i.e. fl icker
frequency is high enough, the visual system will perceive fl ickering light as a continuous steady light.
This CFFFR has been used in the studies on physiology of vision, Stress, drug research.
Results: In the present study CFFFR was measured in two age-matched groups of healthy volunteers
whose ages ranged from 18 – 45 years with 75 subjects in each group. Test group consists of Media
players who were played video games since their childhood. Control group consists of Non-Media
players who did not know how to play the video games. The scope of the present study is to know
the eff ect of video games on CFFFR. The results in our study showed that CFFFR threshold increases
signif cantly in media players when compared to non – media players (p<0.001).This study also
showed that CFFFR signif cantly decreases as the age increases and high CFFFR threshold were
recorded in media players who played puzzle and brain games than the action adventure and sports
games. The gender eff ect on CFFFR was not signif cant but higher CFFR values were recorded for men
than women.
Conclusion: This study proved that playing video games can develop cognitive skills, high level
thinking skills, problem solving complex, concentration, logical thinking, imagination and creativity
but on the other side teenagers who spend an ample amount of time playing games experience eff ects
which are not so benef cial at all.

Telemedicine: A New Perspective in the Treatment of Internet Gaming Disorder Among Adolescents by Georgekutty Kuriala Kochuchakkalackal* in Crimson publishers: Digital Health
The internet era brings an enormous opportunity to contribute in the universal goal of providing quality clinical and health care especially addressing emerging issues that significantly affect the mental health of adolescents brought about by modern technology. What used to be unimaginable is made possible by the integration of advancement in information technology, electronic communications technology, telecommunications, computers and mobile technology with the field of medicine giving rise to the inception of the field of telemedicine as early as the 1960s using radio and telephone [1]. Presently, with the emergence of new health conditions needing immediate diagnosis and treatment, the internet facility plays an important role in communication and in providing these services to patient’s real time. The World Health Organization (WHO) has recently recognized gaming disorder as a mental health condition as it continues to affect adolescents in increasing number of countries.
Efficacy of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Internet Gaming Disorder
Han et al. (2020) set out to empirically test the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in treating impulsivity, anxiety, avoidance, and family and environmental problems in patients. The authors associate these symptoms with internet gaming disorder (IGD). Patients with IGD display a high rate of psychological concerns, such as attention, mood, loneliness, anxiety, and impulsivity. The study used the following criteria for internet addiction: increasing internet use, prolonged use than intended, psychological discomfort when not using the internet, continuous use despite knowing the negative consequences, and failure to reduce use despite attempts. The authors hypothesized that CBT for IGD, which takes into account psychological and environmental factors, would improve IGD symptoms. Additionally, they expected that psychological and environmental factors would affect the results of CBT for IGD.

ABSTRACT
Modern Lifestyles represent one of the biggest health challenges to modern society. The combination of higher standards of living, extended life expectancies and falling birth rates has led to a cocktail of medical problems that affect, in different ways, all age groups whether it be childhood obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular problems in adults or physical and cognitive decline in the elderly. These challenges, and the decline in the relative percentage of people in employment means that the public and private health services are facing a demographic time-bomb which, without intervention and effective strategies is likely to cause serious social and economic disruption.
This presentation examines the potential of wearable devices, gamification, artificial intelligence and big data used in digital health and wellbeing applications to have a positive impact on public health as well as facilitating new relationships between citizens and healthcare providers for personal health management and improved lifestyle behaviours.

A radiology report serves as an intermediary between a radiologist and referring clinician for suggesting
appropriate treatment to the patients, aimed at better healthcare management. It is essentially a tool
that assists radiologists in conveying their input to the patients and clinicians regarding positive or negative findings on a case. The objective of this paper is to discuss and propose Radiology Information & Reporting System (RIRS), highlight challenges governing its implementation and suggest way forwards
towards its effective implementation across the public sector tertiary care institutions of Pakistan. In the end, it is concluded that the proposed RIRS would potentially offer enormous benefits in terms of cost
savings, reporting accuracy, faster processing and operational efficiency as opposed to the conventionally available manual radiology reporting procedures and systems.

electronic cigarettes produce vapor or aerosol mist. To address the concerns of harm from tobacco smoke, which contains over 100 potentially harmful chemicals to human health. Exposure to those chemicals is the known cause of smoking-related diseases, such as, chronic bronchitis, pulmonary emphysema, and bronchial cancers. On the other hand, without

Advanced age, having comorbidities, and vitamin D deficiency are three most important reasons for increased vulnerability to COVID-19 and also worsen complications and increase the risk of death.
Despite the vast amount of information available and lessons learned, many countries are still not fully utilizing these to manage secondary peaks of COVID-19 infection. Factors associated with worse COVID-19 prognosis include, older age, ethnicity, male sex, having comorbidities, obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and smoking; all these are associate with vitamin D deficiency. COVID-19 symptomatology varies from
mostly asymptomatic, to, up to 2% fatality. The latter is characterized by cytokine storm, an immune reaction, diffuse arterial thromboembolism, acute respiratory distress syndrome, pulmonary oedema,and death.
Myiasis is the infestation by larvae of flies. Myiasis may involve the skin, eyes, nasal passages, gastrointestinal and enitourinary tracts.

Advancements in modern imaging techniques such as ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, computer tomography and other radiological procedures have improved the diagnosis of gynecological conditions to a great extent. However, the establishment of a final diagnosis and the initiation of appropriate treatment requires direct viewing of the uterine cavity as in hysteroscopy. In many cases, the patient can be treated during the initial hysteroscopy.
Since the implementation of the “Unified Health System (SUS)” in Brazil in 1990 (public system that offers universal access to any citizen, whether employed or not), there have been
significant and diversified advances in the formulation of structural policies and programmatic actions of the health sector, directed to the three levels of complexity of the system, with a view to its operationalization/expansion in the country [1].
Telemedicine, E health and other technologies promise change that can profoundly affect patients and providers. Even a quick scan of topics featured in this journal demonstrates its impact on quality of life, public health concerns, and effectiveness healthcare. However, this powerful area of health care also creates serious issues for patients and providers. This writer
is particularly interested in ethics issues that affect the soul of health care.
Since the end of the twentieth century the epidemiological discourse has acquired a more and more undeniable value. This universal symbolic authority of epidemiology of risk factors has become emblematic with the incorporation of lifestyle rhetoric [1-3]. In advocating such
an approach, the area has departed from its historical and epistemological assumptions (population and social context of illness) over the valuation of individual perspective inherent to the emergence of a new globalized economic order, which has gradually shifted the collective concerns of health public to a marginal position [4,5] especially in peripheral capitalist countries [6].
Psychological studies involving humans suggested that addiction is a form of learning and that relapse is a persistent memory of the drug experiences [1,2]. It is the gene transcription factor Cyclic AMP Response-Element-Binding protein (CREB) acting as a switch, converting short-term memory to long-term memory, referred to as the acetylation of chromatin structures [3].
The use of mobile applications, through smart phones, smartphones, has been considered by many to be the technological revolution of greatest repercussion in recent times. Compared to a handheld computer and with access to millions of applications, its main feature is unlimited mobility, accompanying its user at all times and in any place. In health, it is known that professionals are constantly moving outside of the institutions in which they work, so mobility is fundamental, which contributes to the interoperability of mobile technologies. This study aims to identify the research involving mobile technology applied to the vaccination being used. The methodology used is of the type integrative review of the literature. The final sample had 14 papers.

Protective Effects of Ethanol Leaf-Extract of Cajanus Cajan (Linn) in Alcohol Induced Nephrotoxicity in Albino Rats by NN Ezeani* in Crimson Publishers: Telemedicine and e-Health
The protective effects of ethanol leaf-extract of Cajanus cajan in alcohol induced nephrotoxicity in albino rats were investigated. Thirty-six albino rats were assigned into six (6) experimental groups (A, B, C, D, E, F) with six rats in each group. Group A (Normal control) was administered normal saline only. Group B (standard control) was administered 5mg/kg body weight of standard drug (Silymarin); group C (positive control) was administered 3.7g/kg body weight of 99.7% ethanol while rats in groups D,E and F (test groups) were administered graded doses of 200mg/kg, 400mg/kg and 600mg/kg body weights of ethanol leaf-extract of Cajanus cajan respectively. Rats in standard control and test groups were administered 3.7g/kg body weight of 99.7% ethanol, once a day, 3 hours after administration of standard drug and ethanol leaf-extract of Cajanus cajan respectively. The administration lasted for 14 days through oral intubation. The result of our investigation showed that creatinine, uric acid and urea were significantly (P<0.05) increased in positive control group compared to the levels observed in the normal and standard control groups. However, groups administered ethanol leaf-extract of Cajanus cajan at the doses of 200mg/kg, 400mg/kg and 600mg/kg body weight all showed a significant (P<0.05) reversal in the trends of these parameters to concentrations comparable to those observed in the positive and normal control groups. The findings of this study suggest that ethanol leaf-extract of Cajanus cajan may have potentials that could be exploited for development of chemotherapies against renal toxicity.

A Survey of Energy Efficiency in Wireless Human Body Sensors Lifetime for Hea...CrimsonpublishersTTEH
A Survey of Energy Efficiency in Wireless Human Body Sensors Lifetime for Healthcare Applications by Sara Kassan*, Jaafar Gaber and Pascal Lorenz in Crimson Publishers: Digital health journal impact factor
Wireless Human Body Sensor Networks (WHBSNs) are extensively used in vital sign monitoring applications and predicting crop health in in order to identify emergency situations and allow caregivers to respond efficiently. When a sensor is drained of energy, it can no longer achieve its role without a substituted source of energy. However, limited energy in a sensor’s battery prevents the long-term process in such applications. In addition, replacing the sensors’ batteries and redeploying the sensors can be very expensive in terms of time and budget and need the presence of the patient at the hospital. To overcome the energy limitation, researchers have proposed the use of energy harvesting to reload the rechargeable battery by power. Therefore, efficient power management is required to increase the benefits of having additional environmental energy. This paper presents a review of energy efficient harvesting mechanisms to extend the Wireless Human Body Sensors lifetime.

The Germinative Preponderance-Sebaceous Epithelioma_ Crimson PublishersCrimsonpublishersTTEH
The Germinative Preponderance-Sebaceous Epithelioma by Anubha Bajaj* in Crimson Publishers: International journal of telemedicine and applications
Sebaceous epithelioma is a benign, exceptional, distinctive neoplasm comprised of basaloid cells and mature sebocytes. Although a sporadic neoplasm, Muir-Torre syndrome can be frequently associated with sebaceous epithelioma. Benign sebaceous epithelioma, additionally termed as sebaceoma is indicative of sebaceous neoplasm exceeding >50% basaloid cell component and demonstrates yellow papules, nodules or plaques predominating on sites of enhanced sebaceous glands. Dermoscopy delineates yellow-tinged, granular articulations with fine, curvilinear capillaries and vascular formations. Sebaceoma incorporates an admixture of undifferentiated basaloid cells and differentiated sebaceous cells. Basaloid cells enunciate a cytoplasmic vacuolation and sebaceous cells are clear and lipid rich. Histological variants of sebaceoma include carcinoid- like, sinusoidal, reticulated, cribriform, rippled and sebaceoma with Verocay bodylike features. Immune reactivity to adipophilin, epithelial membrane antigen (EMA), cytokeratin 5(CK5), cytokeratin 6(CK6) and p40 are elucidated. Sebaceoma requires a distinction from basal cell carcinoma with sebaceous differentiation and trichoblastoma with sebaceous differentiation. Surgical resection of the neoplasm with a narrow surgical resection margin is the preferred therapeutic option.

Tobacco Harm Reduction by Somchai Bovornkitti* in Crimson Publishers: Telemedicine and e-Health open access journals
Cigarette smoke contain approximately 250 different chemicals known to be harmful to human health. Thousands of harmful chemical substances produce by the combustion of tobacco. The health impacts such as cancer and chronic lung disease are not only associated with smokers but also people who are exposed to secondhand smoke. Tobacco Harm Reduction is a concept to minimize the impacts of tobacco on the individual and on society at large. A key component of this strategy is using alternative source of nicotine as a substitute to tobacco cigarettes. Electronic cigarette and heated tobacco are alternatives that might have potential in reduce harm from smokes. This paper elaborates on available research associated with electronic cigarette and heated tobacco with harm reduction and risk perspective.

Asbestos Pollution by Somchai Bovornkitti* in Crimson Publishers: Telemedicine Journal and e-health
A news article, entitled “Study Finds Asbestos in Nearly Half of Thailand’s Population” by Tim Povtak, was published in CTN News (Chaing Rai News) on July 3, 2019. Unfortunately, it contained some misunderstandings concerning the recent report of Incharoen and her colleagues [1]. For the record, two studies have been conducted in Thailand to search for the presence of asbestos bodies in the lungs of patients who had died of different conditions besides asbestos-related diseases. The first study by Sri umpai et al. [2] was published in 1985. Those researchers reported that, of the 330 cadavers that they had examined, 33 percent were found to contain asbestos bodies [2]. The second study by Incharoen et al. [1] was conducted 30 odd years later; those researchers found an even higher incidence of asbestos bodies, i.e. up to 48.5 percent, in 97 of the 200 cadavers that they had examined [1].
The findings of both studies implied that Thai people at large were being exposed to increasing amounts of asbestos fibers floating in the ambient atmosphere. The pollutants were likely being released from the earth during rough weather, as well as the scaling off of asbestos fibers from the roof tiles and siding of aging houses. The studies did not claim that such exposure would lead to the death of those who had been exposed to asbestos bodies in their lungs

Clarion and Crystal-Clear Cell Acanthoma Reviewed_ Crimson PublishersCrimsonpublishersTTEH
Clarion and Crystal-Clear Cell Acanthoma Reviewed by Anubha Bajaj* in Crimson Publishers: Telemedicine and eHealth Journal
Clear cell acanthoma or Degos’ acanthoma or pale cell acanthoma is an exceptional, asymptomatic, cutaneous benign tumefaction of obscure etiology, emerging from epidermal keratinocytes. Solitary or multiple dome shaped lesions or well delineated nodules or plaques are frequently cogitated on distal extremities. Typically, clear cell acanthoma exhibits a “stuck on” appearance akin to seborrheic keratosis, “vascular countenance” of pyogenic granuloma, “scaling and exudation” elucidated in eczematous reactions and a “progressive margin “associated with an epithelioma. Clear cell acanthoma depicts uniform, pale keratinocytes or pale epithelial cells with abundant cytoplasm composed of excessive glycogen, centric nuclei and distinct foci of transformation. Clinical segregation is required from dermatofibroma, pyogenic granuloma, irritated seborrheic keratosis, keratoacanthoma, actinic keratosis, plaque psoriasis, eccrine poroma, viral warts or malignant cutaneous tumors such as basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, malignant melanoma and metastatic cancer. Dermatoscopy demonstrates a variegated reddish or purple lesion demonstrating a serpiginous pattern akin to a “string of pearls”. Comprehensive surgical eradication of the lesion is the recommended therapeutic option.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

Introduction
“Gaming disorder”, the official nomenclature given by the World Health Organization
(WHO) to compulsive online or offline gaming, was recently recognized as a mental health
condition. It was included in the WHO’s 11th
International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11)
released mid-2018 and characterized as “a pattern of persistent or recurrent gaming behavior
(‘digital-gaming’ or ‘video-gaming’), which maybe online (i.e., over the internet) or offline,
manifested by: (a) impaired control over gaming (e.g., onset, frequency, intensity, duration,
termination, context); (b) increasing priority given to gaming to the extent that gaming takes
precedence over other life interests and daily activities; and (c) continuation or escalation
of gaming despite the occurrence of negative consequences.” These manifestations whether
continuous, episodic or recurrent, must be present at least in the last 12 months to be
significant for diagnosis. If severe symptoms and all diagnostic criteria are present, the length
of time may be shorter. The ICD is used by medical practitioners around the world to diagnose
conditions and by researchers to categorize conditions [1].
In 2013, the American Psychiatric Association (APA) recognized excessive online gaming
due to its potential to becoming a public health threat and referred to it as Internet Gaming
Disorder (IGD). To aid clinicians, it defined the nine preliminary diagnostic criteria in the
Diagnostic and Statistical Manual 5th
edition (DSM-5), last updated in 2013, as:
A. Pre-occupation with internet games,
B. Withdrawal symptoms,
C. Tolerance or the need to spend increasing amounts of gaming time,
D. Unsuccessful attempts to control participation in internet games,
E. Loss of interest in previous hobbies and entertainment,

Abstract
The Acceptance and Cognitive Restructuring Intervention Program (ACRIP) has been proven efficacious
in existing studies to reduce the symptoms of Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) and improve the psycho-
logical well-being of adolescents. IGD has recently been recognized as a mental health condition by the
World Health Organization as it becomes an emerging issue of significant public health concern. Empiri-
cal evidences associating IGD with poor psychological well-being are increasing. This study recommends
that telemedicine adopt the ACRIP in addressing the symptoms of IGD. The ACRIP was developed and
tested efficacious through the use of sequential exploratory research design and randomized controlled
trial. Internet Gaming Disorder (IGDS9-SF) and Ryff’s Psychological well-being (PWB) scales were used
to measure the severity of the gaming disorder and state of psychological health of the experimental and
control groups. Statistical analysis using MANOVA on post-test mean scores on IGD and PWB of the exper-
imental group showed a significant difference which suggested that the ACRIP is efficacious in reducing
the symptoms of IGD and improving the psychological well-being of selected adolescents included in the
studies and is culture-free. Cohens d test showed the large effect of the ACRIP
