Identification of the Most Suitable Mobile Apps to Support Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) Diet Self-Management: Systematic Search of App Stores and Content Analysis

Smartphone apps might provide an opportunity to support the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet, a healthy diet designed to help lower blood pressure. This study evaluated DASH diet self-management apps based on their quality, likely effectiveness, and data privacy/security to identify the most suitable app(s). A systematic search and content analysis were conducted of all DASH diet apps available in Google Play and the Apple App Store in the UK in November 2022. Apps were included if they provided DASH diet tracking. A previous systematic literature review found some commercial apps not found in the app store search, and these were also included in this review. Three reviewers used the App Quality Evaluation Tool (AQEL) to assess each app’s quality across seven domains: knowledge acquisition, skill development, behaviour change, purpose, functionality, and appropriateness for adults with hypertension. Domains with a score of 8 or higher were considered high-quality. Two reviewers assessed the apps’ data privacy and security and then coded Behaviour change techniques (BCTs) linked to the Theoretical Domain Framework (TDF) underpinning the likely effectiveness of the apps. Seven DASH diet apps were assessed, showing the limited availability of apps supporting DASH diet self-management. The AQEL assessment showed that three apps scored higher than eight in most of the AQEL domains. Nineteen BCTs were used across the apps, linked to nine TDF action mechanisms that may support DASH diet self-management behaviours. Four apps met standards for privacy and security. All seven apps with self-monitoring functionality had sufficient theoretical basis to demonstrate likely effectiveness. However, most had significant quality and data security shortcomings. Only two apps, NOOM and DASH To TEN, were found to have both adequate quality and security and were thus deemed suitable to support DASH diet self-management.
Impact of Education on Knowledge, Attitude, And Practice on Prevention of Anemia Among Adolescent Girls

- Anemia is one of the most crucial health issues and a widespread nutritional deficiency disease. One of the critical health problems among the adolescents is anemia in KSA. One of the most important causes of all dietary issues is a lack of nutrition understanding. And as a result, this inappropriate practice may cause a number of problems. This study aims to determine how schooling affects teenage girls' attitudes, knowledge, and practices about anaemia. The 30 samples were chosen using the purposive sampling strategy using the pre-experimental design. The influence of information on anaemia was evaluated using a structured interview schedule, and attitudes towards anaemia were evaluated using a rating scale and a practice checklist. A video slide presentation is proposed for anaemia education. The overall mean score on knowledge in the pre-test was higher 2.27±1.337 than in the post-test which was 10.67±1.184. It shows that adolescent girls had excellent knowledge of anemia after the educational program, and it shows that teaching was more effective. In perception, the mean score in total in the pre-test was 2.07±1.112, and in the post-test, 9.2±0.664, revealing that the parents had a highly favorable attitude. The mean score in total for practice in the pre-test was 1.2±0.805, whereas in the post-test it was 5.2±0.61. It predicts that girls improved their practice after the implementation of the education program. The calculated ‘t’ value for awareness, perception, and practice scores were 7.13, 9.73 & 5.4 at 0.05 level respectively. WIFS and intense health education interventions have an influence on enhancing teenage schoolgirls' attitudes, knowledge, practices, and health-seeking behaviour. In order to reinforce good practices to prevent anemia additional nutritional interventional research is essential
Network coding: literature review

Communication networks are a prevalent component of the modern connected times. Everywhere around us people and machines exchange information at various scales and throughputs. The network is everywhere: from the analog voice communication that the phone company offers to the vast expanse of connectedness built upon TCP/IP passing by all the mobile communication devices that literally make a network out of thin air. The information technology we have today is the product of successive improvements in the physical layer of our communication networks and the invention of new protocols and standards that make inter-operation possible. Without a doubt, one important evolutionary leap for the development of communication technologies was the transition from circuit switching to packet switching networks. Unlike an analog voice connection that physically connects pairs of wires at the phone company’s central office, packet communication don’t require an end-to-end channel from sender to receiver. Instead, the information is packaged into packets which can be concatenated, split, multiplexed, encapsulated and in general transmitted in a very efficient manner. Using this low level packet sending protocol as a building block we can build higher level protocols that provide us with end-to-end channels. Recently, a new communication paradigm called network coding has emerged in which the intermediary relay stations are allowed to perform encoding/decoding operations on the information they receive. Network coding protocols are more powerful than the current packet protocols where relay stations are only allowed to forward the packets. The question that we would like to pose here is whether network coding is the next big evolutionary step for the development of communication protocols. What kind of benefits does network coding offer for throughput, code construction, delay and robustness? This literature review is an attempt to answer these questions. While it may be too early to give a final verdict about the usefulness of network coding, there is a considerable body of theoretical work that can inform us about what we can and cannot accomplish. The structure of this review is as follows. In section 2 we will present some background material. Next in section 3 we present a simple example of a network where network coding is used. The main content of this review are contained in sections 4 and 5 which deal with theoretical and practical aspects of network coding respectively.
The role of some heavy metal pollution in idiopathic recurrent spontaneous abortion

Background: Environmental pollution with heavy metal (HM) have been associated with human reproductive failure. Oxidative stress and disruption of homeostatic regulation of reproductive hormones has been implicated in HM induced reproductive toxicity. The HM, indices of oxidative stress, reproductive hormone and red cell indices in women with recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) in relation to exposure to HM contaminated mussels were assessed in this study. Methods: Seventy-six women (20-35 years) categorized into 18 fertile women without RPL (control group), and Groups I, II and III comprising 24, 18 and 16 women with RPL (2, 3, and >3 abortions respectively) were studied. Whole blood samples were collected for the estimation of cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), metallothionein (rbcMT), malondialdehyde (MDA), reduced glutathione (GSH), progesterone, haemoglobin (Hb), mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH). Mussel samples were collected for Cd, Pb and metallothionein (MT) estimation. Results: The cadmium content of mussels were above the maximum limit. Women with RPL (Groups I-III) had higher Cd, Pb, rbcMT and MDA and lower catalase, GSH, P4, Hb, MCV and MCH compared to Group I (p=<0.001). Negative associations were observed between Cd and catalase (r=-0.320, p=0.014), GSH (r=-0.359, p=-0.006) and MCV (r=-0.391, p=-0.002) respectively and between Pb and GSH (r=-0.501, p=<0.001), Hb (r=-0.289, p=0.028), MCV (r=-0.394, p=0.002) and MCH (r=-0.277, p=0.036) respectively in women with RPL. Positive correlations were observed between Cd and Pb (r=0.533, p= <0.001), rbcMT with Cd (r=0.312, p=0.017), Pb (r=0.488, p=<0.000) and MDA (r=0.282, p=0.032) respectively in women with RPL. Conclusion: Elevated cadmium levels in mussels in conjunction with increased HM, metallothionein, MDA and reduced antioxidants, progesterone and red cell indices observed in women with RPL suggest that HM induced oxidative stress and hormonal imbalance may be implicated in recurrent pregnancy loss.

Background: Concerning the prevalence and complications of breast cancer and its impact on the quality of life. This paper aims to study the effect of twin hearts meditation (as per Sui) on the quality of life among the patients with breast cancer under chemotherapy. Methods: This randomized clinical trial was conducted on 102 breast cancer patients in two groups. The patients answered a demographic information survey and WHO quality of life short form before intervention. The patients in the experimental group received training on twin hearts meditation by the researcher for 30 minutes in the intervention stage, and the patients did meditation 3 times a week for one and half months. The quality of life of the patients was measured before and after the intervention in the experimental and control groups. The data were analysed using SPSS v.20, descriptive statistics, paired t and independent t tests at a P<0.05 significant level.Results: The results showed that before intervention, there was no significant difference between the mean of quality of life in the experimental (81.3 ± 7.1) and (77.9 ± 16.2) control groups (P=0.344), but after intervention there was a significant difference between the mean of quality of life in the experimental (88.9 ± 11.2) and (75.2 ± 14.9) control groups (P 0.001). Conclusion: Twin hearts meditation can improve the quality of life among the patients with breast cancer under chemotherapy. In this regard, it is suggested that twin hearts meditation be considered as a mind-body complementary medicine.
Climate change communication in India: A study on climate change imageries on Instagram

The rising accessibility of mobile phones and the proliferation of social media have revolutionized the way climate change has been communicated. Yet, the inherent invisibility and temporal complexities of climate change pose challenges when trying to communicate it on visual media platforms. This study employs visual content analysis to investigate how environmental non-government organizations (NGOs) in India address these limitations on their Instagram pages. Four environmental NGOs based in India were selected, and their thirty most recent Instagram posts related to climate change were analyzed based on imagery type, subject, context and themes. The findings revealed that these NGOs employed a diverse range of climate change imageries, often accompanied by overlaying texts, to traverse the lack of standardized visual tropes. Moreover, it is noted that a significant majority of analyzed Instagram imageries following the visual principles advocated by Climate Outreach emerged from one single NGO account, suggesting potential variations in the visual communication strategies among different NGOs.
Prevalence of the metabolic syndrome among North Indian adolescents using Adult Treatment Panel III and pediatric International Diabetic Federation definitions

Background and Objective: Childhood obesity is an important risk factor for the development of metabolic syndrome (MS) in children and adolescent. Because of high prevalence of insulin resistance and MS in Indian adult population, studies are needed to identify the prevalence of these metabolic abnormalities in the adolescent population. The objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence of MS using pediatric International Diabetic Federation (IDF) definition and compare it with estimates of Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP III) definition among adolescents in Northern India. Materials and Methods: At a total of 899 adolescents attending school (aged 10-18 years) participated in this population-based prospective study. All the clinical and biochemical assessment were done after proper consent. The MS was determined by the National Cholesterol Education Program ATP III definition modified for age and pediatric IDF definition. Results: The prevalence of MS was 3.5% according to ATP III criteria and 1.5% based on IDF criteria. No significant gender difference was observed in the distribution of MS. Hypertriglyceridemia was the most common and abdominal obesity the least common constituent of MS. Conclusion: This study provides the first estimates of MS using pediatric IDF definition in the adolescent population from Northern India.

The results showed that treatment with spraying of Lecanicillium lecanii @ 5 g/l followed by thiamethoxam 25 SG @ 0.25 g/l followed by pongamia oil 1% @ 10ml/l was found to be most effective and recorded least average survived population of aphids
Studies on combining ability in okra through line x tester analysis

Assessment of combining ability in okra ( Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench) was done in the current investigation using a line x tester mating design. From 11 female lines and 3 testers, 33 cross combinations were made using the LxT mating design, and enough F 1 seeds were produced in the summer of 2021. The F 1 were planted in kharif 2021 to evaluate the effectiveness of various crosses with three checks. The experiment was conducted at the Breeder Seed Production Unit, VNMKV Parbhani. The best male parents in the current investigation were found to be IC-45800 and Parbhani Kranti. The best general combiner was found to be lines EC-305613, EC-305675, and VROR-159 when the GCA effect was taken into account. To distinguish transgressive segregants from succeeding generations of segregating individuals, these lines can be used in transgressive breeding programmes. EC-305653 x IC-45800, EC-305612 x Parbhani Kranti, EC-305741 x IC-45800, EC-305652 x Parbhani Kranti, and EC-305664 x IC-45800 were the top five crosses for the particular combining ability effect. Among the thirty-three crosses, these nine were found to be the best in terms of desirable specific combining ability effect and high per se performance for fruit yield.
Regional Geology of Eastern Idaho and Western Wyoming

The first section, Regional Synthesis, consists of a single 53-page chapter entitled The track of the Yellowstone hot spot: Volcanism faulting, and uplift. '' The authors' approach is to interpret major features or regional geology as resulting in large part from the last 16 Ma of southwesterly migration by the North American plate over a stationary thermal plume in the mantle. Evidence that may relate to the Yellowstone hot spot model is presented under headings dealing with volcanic track of the hot spot, neotectonic faulting associated with the hot spot, and regional topographic anomalies which may have resulted from hot spot-induced uplift or subsidence. The second section of the book deals with the Idaho-Wyoming thrust belt. Each chapter is a separate article by different authors, so coverage is of selected topics in the Idaho-Wyoming thrust belt rather than a comprehensive overview. Extensional tectonics is the topic of the book's third section. Field investigations of two major structures, the Grand Valley fault and the Teton normal fault, are presented in chapters eight and nine, respectively. Chapter ten focuses on surficial gravity slide sheets that are well-exposed in the area, with particular emphasis on their structural features and mechanisms of emplacement. The finalmore » 90 pages of the book make up a four-chapter section that deals with the eastern Snake River plain (ESRP). Topical coverage is quite varied, ranging from details of Quaternary stratigraphy at one site to an overview of the eastern Snake River plain basaltic volcanism and an investigation of ignimbrites of the Heise volcanic field. « less
HSOA Journal of Surgery: Current Trends & Innovations

Background: Morbidity and mortality after Pancreaticoduodenecto-my (PD) have been associated with postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF). Pancreatic anastomosis is challenging for most surgeons, and there is no universal or standardized technique. This study compared the incidence of POPF between the Pair-Watch Suturing Technique (PWST) and duct-to-mucosa Pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ) anastomosis technique. Methods: This retrospective cohort analysis included 71 patients who underwent aPD between January 2009 and October 2018. The incidence and risk factors of complications after PWST and duct-to-mucosa PJ anastomoses were compared. Results: There was no significant difference in the incidence of POPF between the PWST (n=7; 30.4%) and duct-to-mucosa PJ (n=9; 18.7%) groups. The tumor site (p=0.001) and pancreas density on computed tomography without contrast (p=0.002) were significantly different between the groups. Age≥60 years (Odds Ratio (OR): 11.07; 95% Confidence Interval (CI): 1.14–107.36;p=0.038) and pancreatic body mass/duct size (B/W) ratio (OR: 1.41; 95%CI: 1.04–1.91; p=0.029) were identified as significant risk factors for POPF. International Study Group for Pancreatic Fistula grade B POPF, wound infections, and pneumonia occurred more frequently in patients who underwent a duct-to-mucosa PJ anastomosis. However, the postoperative complications were not significantly different between the groups. Conclusion: The incidence of clinically relevant POPF was similar between patients who underwent the PWST and those who underwent a duct-to-mucosa PJ anastomosis. However, a preoperative risk factor assessment for the evaluation of tumor site, patient age, and B/W ratio could help determine which surgical technique should be used in individual patients.
SEARCH FOR NEW TYROSINE KINASE INHIBITORS AMONG 2-(3-R-1 H -1,2,4-TRIAZOL-5-YL)ANILINES AS POTENTIAL ANTITUMOR AGENTS USING MOLECULAR DOCKING

The present work is devoted to the in silico study of 2-(3-R-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)anilines as potential inhibitors of EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) and RET (rearranged during transfection)-, which play a significant role in regulating the physiological cycle of non-small cell lung cancer. The well-known docking software AutoDock Vina was used for the study. The seven studied compounds and two standard drugs (vandetanib and gefitinib) were docked to the crystal structures of EGFR and RET proteins. It was found that among the newly investigated substances, 2-(3-(indolyl-2)-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)aniline (a5) has the highest affinity towards EGFR and RET with the binding energy of –9.7 and –8.7 kcal/mol, respectively. Visualization of the molecular docking results of this compound using the Discovery Studio software showed that it is characterized by similar to standard ligands location in the active sites of the enzymes, stable hydrogen bonds and π-stacking interactions, which are provided by the presence of indole and aniline fragments in the molecule. Thus, we have identified a new effective ligand that can be used as a "base" molecule for further fragment-oriented design using molecular hybridization methodology (fragment fusion, coupling or extension methods) or structural modification by introducing "pharmacophore" groups into the molecule. Summarizing the above screening results, we can say that 2-(3-R-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)anilines require further careful consideration as effective tyrosine kinase inhibitors for the search for promising anticancer agents for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer.
I-PreFer Study: A Questionnaire to Explore Patient, Caregiver and Pulmonologist Preferences of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Treatment Options

Introduction Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is a rare disease that causes shortness of breath, dry cough, and tiredness. While there is no cure for IPF, current therapeutic treatments aim to slow lung degeneration while managing side effects. There is little known about patient experience and attitude with regards to their disease and medication. Purpose To understand the perceptions, behaviors and drivers of treatment decision-making among patients, caregivers and pulmonologists in IPF. Patients and Methods Online surveys to patients with IPF, caregivers and pulmonologists were developed and administered in Belgium, Finland, France, Greece (pulmonologists only), the Netherlands, Ireland and the United Kingdom between November 2021 and January 2022. Results A total of 111 patients, 22 caregivers and 140 pulmonologists participated. Half (47%) of patients rated their disease as “severe”, while pulmonologists reported that a quarter of their patients had a low Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) (below 50% of the predicted value). Between 21% and 42% of the patients do not take an IPF medication (patients’ perception) or antifibrotic (physicians’ perception). Pulmonologists reported that a total of 58% of their patients were receiving antifibrotic medication, any IPF medication, while around 53%, 55%, 35% and 73% of the patients limited their exposure (sometimes or often) to the sun due to IPF, considered taking medication against diarrhea, nausea/vomiting and heartburn, respectively. Treatment adherence was relatively high (81%), in line with the caregivers' view and the pulmonologists’ expectations. Overall, cultural, clinical or socio-demographic factors impacted patients’ perceptions or behaviors. Conclusion This study shows there is a significant proportion of IPF patients who remain untreated, a misalignment of disease severity between patients and their physicians and patient background impacts behavior. Overall, more in-depth patient–physician communication is needed to improve treatment experience.
