Exploring the Role of Community Exercise Rehabilitation Centers through the Rehabilitation Experiences of Patients with Musculoskeletal Disorders: A Qualitative Study

We investigated the perception of community sport rehabilitation centers by examining the experiences of living lab participants and discussing the centers’ roles. From 50 living lab participants in the exercise rehabilitation center, in-depth interviews were conducted with the 10 among them (three males and seven females) who had high participation rates and consented voluntarily. The data collected through participant observation and a review of the literature were analyzed through inductive categorization. The findings show the points as follows: (a) owing to inadequate cognitive and physical accessibility, the older population faced challenges in utilizing the center, causing deficiency in the requisite information and knowledge essential for effective rehabilitation; (b) human and material services, including older adult rehabilitation instructors, systematic management, and service platforms were provided to the participants through the centers; (c) after 12-week program operation, participants experienced improved physical health, and by engaging in the rehabilitation exercise services, developed positive perception of the center. Participants desired to continue with the program and were willing to recommend it to others. These findings emphasize the importance of specialized instructors to older-adults’ physical activities, implementing systematic data management and utilization practices, and the collaboration between healthcare institutions and local communities. This is particularly important because of the rapid rise in the older adult population.
CAN YOU HEAR US NOW? INVESTIGATING THE EFFECTS OF A WIRELESS GRID SOCIAL RADIO STATION ON COLLABORATION AND COMMUNICATION IN FRAGILE POPULATIONS

The ability to interact with peers and coworkers in online digital networks is essential in learning and business environments. Our digital participatory culture is based on communication in response to purposeful activity and is facilitated by information and communication technologies (ICT). Students with emotional, behavioral, and learning disabilities are often disengaged and excluded from this knowledge-building conversation. This disengagement results in a cycle of failure exhibited through diminished self-efficacy and inadequate academic and emotional self-regulation. A critical goal of those who work with these students is to bolster their resilience, persistence, participatory, and communicative skills—to invite them back into the conversation. This research study investigated the potential for wireless grids technologies to serve as a viable infrastructure for students in a therapeutic high school setting to participate in digital social networks. Using social cognitive theory as a theoretical framework and activity theory as a conceptual framework, this study specifically investigated how a wireless grids implementation of the WeJay Social Radio Edgeware Gridlet was used to positively impact perceived selfefficacy and academic and emotional self-regulation associated with written and oral communication. This study also investigated how a digital networked environment could extend and enhance current methods used by school staff and programs to address cognitive, emotional, and behavioral issues affecting student socialization and learning in a therapeutic high school setting. The supports, resources, and opportunities for collaboration and socialization in the networked environment of the research space proved motivating for students and staff, and fostered academic, emotional, and behavioral self-regulation and positive self-efficacy for written and oral communications as evidenced by the artifacts and radio shows produced by students. Furthermore, students and staff participants expressed their interest in continuing to use WeJay. The outcomes of this research study suggest that informal, interest-based learning should take place in school. For some students, school is the only place they will have access to the technology and supports required to engage in powerful informal learning experiences. For fragile populations, these experiences may provide opportunities for success that have eluded students in formal, teacher-directed, curriculum-driven educational settings. Can You Hear Us Now?

Preparation and Characterisation of Zinc Diethyldithiocarbamate–Cyclodextrin Inclusion Complexes for Potential Lung Cancer Treatment

Zinc diethyldithiocarbamate (Zn (DDC)2), a disulfiram metabolite (anti-alcoholism drug), has shown a strong anti-cancer activity in vitro. However, its application was limited by its low aqueous solubility and rapid metabolism. In this study, the solubility enhancement of Zn (DDC)2 is investigated by forming inclusion complexes with cyclodextrins. The inclusion complexes were prepared using two different types of beta-cyclodextrins, SBE-CD and HP-CD. Phase solubility diagrams for the resulting solutions were assessed; subsequently, the solutions were freeze-dried for further characterisation studies using DSC, TGA, XRD, and FTIR. The cytotoxic activity of the produced inclusion complexes was evaluated on human lung carcinoma cells using the MTT assay. The solubility of Zn (DDC)2 increased significantly upon adding beta-cyclodextrins, reaching approximately 4 mg/mL for 20% w/w CD solutions. The phase solubility diagram of Zn (DDC)2 was of the Ap-type according to the Higuchi and Connors model. Characterisation studies confirmed the inclusion of the amorphous drug in the CD-Zn (DDC)2 complexes. The cytotoxicity of Zn (DDC)2 was enhanced 10-fold by the inclusion complexes compared to the free drug. Overall, the resulting CD-Zn (DDC)2 inclusion complexes have a potential for treatment against lung cancer.
Genetic polymorphism and the link to stress-induced metabolic dysfunction

Background: The impact of stress on health is well-established and it continues to influence modern life. While some individuals may manage stress well, others may experience detrimental impacts on their physical and emotional health. As stress has been related to several illnesses, including obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and more, there is growing concern about stress-induced metabolic dysfunction. Main body: Here we review recent literature, elucidating the role of genetic polymorphisms in modulating an individual's reactivity to stress and susceptibility to stress-related metabolic disorders. This article discusses the genetic components, in particular the polymorphisms, that may predispose individuals toward metabolic dysregulation brought on by stress. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequence differences that affect more than 1% of the population are known as genetic polymorphisms. Changes from genetic polymorphisms result in different gene expression, protein function, and other outcomes. Genetic polymorphisms in key stress-regulating genes can influence an individual's susceptibility to metabolic disturbances in response to chronic stress. Conclusion: The hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis and related molecular pathways play a pivotal role in mediating the effects of stress on metabolism. Understanding the genetic basis of stress-induced metabolic dysfunction has implications for personalized medicine and preventive strategies. By identifying individuals with genetic susceptibility to metabolic disturbances, targeted interventions can be designed to mitigate the adverse effects of stress on metabolic health. Furthermore, lifestyle modifications, stress management techniques, and tailored dietary interventions may be employed to promote overall well-being and prevent stress-induced metabolic disorders.
Giant Folliculosebaceous Cystic Hamartoma of the Face

Folliculosebaceous cystic hamartoma (FSCH) is a rare and benign form of cutaneous hamartomas. These skin lesions often lead to clinical and histopathological misdiagnosis due to their similarities to cutaneous lesions with overproduction of clustered sebaceous glands. Clinically, the lesions often present as solitary, skin-colored, pedunculated warts to cauliflower-like, exophytic papules and nodules, usually with a diameter ranging 0.5–1.5 cm that rarely exceed 2 cm in size. Only a small number of giant variants are reported in the literature with a diameter in the range of 5–23 cm. The vast majority of the lesions appear in the central face and show a striking predilection for the nose, ears, and scalp, but also emerge on the nipples, extremities, and genitals. Histologically, the epithelial components of folliculosebaceous cystic hamartoma comprise dilated infundibular cystic proliferation with surrounding mesenchymal components, which commonly include fibroplasia and vascular and adipose tissue proliferation. These histological characteristics were coined by Kimura and colleagues (1991). To the best of our knowledge, our case represents the biggest variant of giant folliculosebaceous cystic hamartoma.
COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE EFFICIENCY OF DIFFERENT METHODS OF OSTEOTOMY WHEN PERFORMING CLOSED RHINOPLASTY

The aim. Increasing the effectiveness of treatment of patients with primary deformity of the nasal skeleton with a pronounced violation of the function of nasal breathing, by improving existing and developing new methods of reconstructive surgery of the nose. Materials and methods. 38 patients participated in the study. They were divided into two groups of 19 patients each. The gender and age distribution in both groups was approximately the same. The control group had rhinoplasty performed using a traditional osteotomy. Endonasal continuous osteotomy was performed using a 4 mm chisel. The research group underwent a combination of piezoelectric surgery and combined transcutaneous access, during rhinoplasty. At the same time, a 3 mm chisel was used for lateral and transverse lateral osteotomies, and a piezotome was used to remove the hump, medial and transverse dorsal osteotomies. All patients of both groups underwent only primary rhinoplasty in a closed manner. Results. Postoperative symptoms and complications were studied in both groups: perforation of the mucous membrane, narrowing of the nasal airways, bony irregularities, eyelid swelling, periorbital ecchymoses, as well as overall patient satisfaction. Symptoms were evaluated on the first day after surgery, 3 days after surgery, and 1 week after treatment. When comparing the obtained data, a statistically significant decrease in intra- and post-operative complications was found when performing rhinoplasty using piezoelectric surgery in combination with transcutaneous access. Also, piezotome osteotomy in combination with transcutaneous access has a number of advantages over classic osteotomy, which consist in reducing traumatic complications, obtaining more stable bone structures during surgery, which gives a better predicted result of rhinoplasty, and therefore, greater patient satisfaction. Conclusions. Performing a combination of piezotome osteotomy with a transcutaneous approach improves the postoperative period for patients and contributes to a better rhinoplasty result due to fewer complications.
Predictive Values of Preoperative Tests for Difficult Laryngoscopy and Intubation in Adult Patients at Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital

Introduction The significance of difficult or failed tracheal intubation following induction is a well-recognized cause of morbidity and mortality in anesthetic practice. Nevertheless, the need to predict potentially difficult tracheal intubation has received a little attention. During routine anesthesia, the incidence of difficult tracheal intubation has been estimated at 1.5%–8% of general anesthetics. Difficulties in intubation have been associated with serious complications, such as brain damage or death, particularly when failed intubation has occurred. Occasionally, in a patient with a difficult airway, the anesthetist is faced with the situation where mask ventilation proves difficult or impossible. This is one of the most critical emergencies that may be faced in the practice of anesthesia. If the anesthetist can predict which patients are likely to prove difficult to intubate, he/she may reduce the risks of anesthesia considerably. In Ethiopia, there are no data on the magnitude of difficult laryngoscopic tracheal intubation and no standard guidelines for preoperative tests. The main concern of this study was to provide information on the magnitude of difficult laryngoscopic intubation and to determine valuable preoperative tests to predict difficult laryngoscopy and intubation in patients with apparently normal airways which can help anesthetists to improve preoperative airway assessment and contribute to decrease anesthesia-related morbidity and mortality. Objective The main objective of this study was to assess the magnitude and predictive values of preoperative tests for difficult laryngoscopy and intubation, among surgical patients who underwent elective surgery under general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation in Tikur Anbessa Hospital from February 1 to March 30, 2016. Study Design A facility-based cross-sectional study design was used. Result In this study, we found the magnitude of difficult laryngoscopy and intubation as 13.6% and 5%, respectively. 33.3% of patients with difficult laryngoscopy were found to be difficult for intubation. Mallampati test, interincisor distance, and thyromental distance were identified to be good preoperative tests to predict difficult laryngoscopic intubation when used in combination. Recommendation We recommend anesthesia professionals to use combination of MMC/TMD/IID for their routine preoperative airway assessment.
The Incidence of Myasthenia Gravis in the Province of Ferrara, Italy, in the Period of 2008–2022: An Update on a 40-Year Observation and the Influence of the COVID-19 Pandemic

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is the most common neuromuscular junction disorder. We evaluated the MG incidence rate in the province of Ferrara, Northern Italy, over two time frames (2008–2018 and 2019–2022, i.e., the COVID-19 pandemic) and considered early-onset (EOMG), late-onset (LOMG), and thymoma- and non-thymoma-associated MG. Moreover, in the second period, we assessed its possible relationship with SARS-CoV-2 infection or COVID-19 vaccination. We used a complete enumeration approach to estimate the MG incidence and its temporal trend. For the period of 2008–18, 106 new cases were identified (mean incidence rate 2.7/100,000 people). The highest rates were observed for the over-70 age group and in rural areas, with 17% of thymoma-associated MG. During the COVID-19 period, 29 new cases were identified (average incidence rate 2.1/100,000 people), showing a marked (though not statistically significant) decrease in the mean annual incidence compared to the previous period. Again, the highest rate was observed for the over-70 age group. The first period was in line with our previous observations for the period between 1985 and 2007, highlighting a rising incidence of LOMG and a marked decrease in EOMG. During the COVID-19 period, incidence rates were lower in the first years whereas, when the pandemic ended, the previous trend was confirmed.
SUGAR BEET YIELD AND QUALITY AS AFFACTED BY WATER REGIME BEFOR HARVEST, DENSITY AND SOME CULTIVARS IN NEW RECLAIMED SOILS.

Field experimental was carried out at Kalabsho - El-Dakhlia Governorate, Egypt, in 2013/14 and 2014/2015 winter growing seasons. To study effect of last regime irrigation before harvest by 15 and 30 days and spacing hills 15, 20 and 25 cm between plants in addition to three cultivars (Sultan, Farida and Samba) on sugar beet yield and quality under reclaimed soils in Kalabsho location. Split-Split plot design were used in both season. Main plots allocated with regime irrigation befor harvest, sub-plots were take with hill spacing between plants whearas, cultivars were arranged in sub-sub plots. Main results were obtained can summarized as folllow: Wih decreasing the gap between last irrigation and harvest to 15 days caused to gave significant increase in value of top fresh weight and root yields, this was true in both seasons (0.361and 0.283 kg/plant) and (25.59 and 26.00 ton/fed.) respectivety. On the other direction,with increasing the gab between last irrigation and harvest untill 30 days resulting in significant differences among mean values of root fresh weight kg/plant,sugar yield ton/fed. ,sucrose %,total soluble solids and purity percentages in both seasons. These trends due to,with elonation the period before harvest with out water supply reduced water content in roots through 30 days compared to 15 days befor harvest which was notenough to exhibited any enjourity to plants, or decreasing in water root content. Planting sugar beet seeds at 20 cm. between hills progressive than other distance (15 and 25 cm.) for most important characters,root,top fresh weight, sucrose and purity %. On the other hand space 15 cm. between hills gave the highest values of top fresh weight,root yield, sugar yield and sucrose % in the first season. Cultivar,Farida gave the highest values of root fresh weight,root yields,sugar yields,sucrose % and T.ss % in the first season and purity in the second season. Significant interaction effects were found between main three factors under study illustrated that spacing hill 20 cm. between plants,preventation irrigation befor harvest by 30 days with used Farida cultivare gave the highest values for most important characters under study.
Google Classroom Aided Instruction on Student Teachers' Mathematics Achievement in Owerri, Nigeria

The study investigated the effect of Google Classroom aided instruction on students’ achievement on Mathematics Courses of 2019-2021 academic sessions in Alvan Ikoku University of Education, Owerri. Guided with three research questions and three null hypotheses to establish significant difference in the mathematics achievement scores of students with Google Classroom aided instruction compared with those taught without the platform. Quasi-experimental design of non-randomised control group design was adopted. The population of the study comprises of all students of the university, offering Mathematics courses in Department of Mathematics with a population size of 331 students with a sample of 127 students. The instrument for data collection were moderated examination question papers and course lecturer made test questions. Data collected were analysed using mean, standard deviation and t-test of equality of mean. Major results showed that male students achieved significantly than the female students in the mathematics courses, students taught without the aid of Google classroom platform achieved significantly than those in the Google classroom aided instruction class. Also, the use of Google classroom aided instruction does not result to gender disparity in Mathematics achievement. Hence, it was recommended for further research on factors affecting effective utilization of Google classroom and remedies.
Podíl paleolitickych versus neolitickych haploskupin Y chromozomu u České populace

Thanks to the specific type of inheritance of Y chromosome and mitochondrial DNA polymorphisms, and their distribution in modem populations, it is possible to cast light on the hitherto contentious problems relating to the contributions of Neolithic agriculturalists as opposed to Palaeolithic hunter-gatherers in Europe. For mapping the biological origin of the population on the territory of the Czech Republic in the male line, the presence was monitored of various old Y chromosome haplogroups. The test sample included 180 samples from six locations in the southern part of the Czech Republic. Of the 10 haplogroups detected, 6 were present at a frequency of 5 % or higher. Haplogroups I, R1a and Rib, the distribution of which reflects the course of the post-glacial recolonisation of Europe, were recorded in the Czech population with an overall relative frequency of 80.6 %. By contrast, those haplogroups which could have been brought to Europe only as late as during the Neolithic expansion (E3b, G and J2) were detected with a frequency of only 15 %. The remaining samples contained relatively rarely appearing haplogroups. The question remains unanswered, of course, as to what extent those people carrying 'Palaeolithic' haplogroups (particularly R1a) contributed to the demic diffusion triggered by agricultural management in the Near East some ten thousand years ago.
Morpho-Physiological responses of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) cultivars to drought stress

Common bean (P. vulgaris L.) is the most important food legume in the diet of people and drought stress causes severe yield loss in this crop. This study was conducted to investigate morpho-physiological responses, yield and WUE of four common bean (P. vulgaris L.) cultivars (namely : “Sarýkýz”, “Sazova”, “Kýrk günlük”, and “Gina”) under different (I1.00: 100%-control of field capacity, I0.75: 75% of field capacity and I0.50: 50% of field capacity) water regimes. The investigation was conducted in a pots and experiments were carried out randomized plot design with ten replicates. The results of this investigation show that yield, yield components, LRWC, leaf area and chlorophyll contents were reduced, while WUE increase depending on the different water regimes in all cultivars. Consequently, cv. “Gina” may have the potential to be used in drought areas.
