Comparison Study Between Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy versus Robotic Radical Prostatectomy in Patient with TUR-P History

Background: The number of men with benign prostate hyperplasia undergoing transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) with the subsequent development of prostate cancer has been increasing. This study aimed to compare the surgical, oncological, and functional outcomes of robotic and laparoscopic radical prostatectomy techniques in patients with the history of TURP. Methods: Literature search of electronic databases was performed through Pubmed, Science Direct, SCOPUS, and CENTRAL databases. Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool was then employed to assess the risk of bias in each study. Grey literature was also searched from sources such as Cancer Care Ontario and conference abstracts. Critical appraisals of included studies were conducted using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Results: The searches located 1258 citations, but only 11 studies were included in the final selection. Most studies had a good methodological quality based on the Ottawa Scale. The mean age of samples was varied among each study from 61.8 to 70.8 years. The TURP history significantly affects biochemical recurrences (OR 2.29, 95% CI 1.14–4.59), intraoperative blood loss (MD 57 ml; 95% CI 6–108 m), prolonged operative duration (MD 20 minutes; 95% CI 3–37 minutes), and surgical complications (OR 2.54, 95% CI 1.79–3.60) following radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer. In the subgroup analysis, only prolonged operative duration and surgical complications were significant both in laparoscopic and robotic radical prostatectomy. There was no association between the TURP history and the positive surgical margin rate in total and subgroup analyses. Conclusions: The previous TURP history affects the outcomes of patients who underwent radical prostatectomy, either laparoscopic or robotic.
The Possible Protective Roles of Garlic Oil and Rosemary Extract Against neuro and geno/toxicities of Acrylamide on Adult Male Albino Rats

Background: Acrylamide (AA) is a chemical compound that is typically formed in starchy food products during high-temperature cooking. Itis a known lethal neurotoxin and genotoxin. Aim: The study was designed to illustrate gait change, biochemical and histopathological alterations besides the genotoxicity of AA on the brain of rats and the possible protection of both garlic oil and rosemary extract when administrated in cotreatment. Materials &Methods: Ninety adult male albino rats were divided into 6 groups (15 rats each); negative control, garlic oil group, rosemary extract group, AA group, AA+ garlic oil group, AA+ rosemary extract group. Rats were gavaged orally for six weeks. At the end of experimental period, the gait score of rats was evaluated then, blood samples and brains from the rats were obtained for biochemical, histological and cytogenetic evaluation. Results: AA exposed rats exhibited abnormal gait with significant decline in superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), acetylcholine esterase (AChE), deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), ribonucleic acid (RNA) and protein contents and an increase malondialdehyde (MDA) with histopathological changes of the brain tissues. Either treatment with garlic oil or rosemary extract improves these changes. Conclusion: AA is toxic to the brain of rats. Garlic oil or rosemary extract can ameliorate this toxicity. Recommendation: Strict control of AA consumption is urgently needed.
Analyzing Judgment in Bipolar Depression Patients' Narratives Using Syntactic Patterns: A Corpus-Based Study

For years, the Internet has provided patients with mental health disorders with several platforms where they share theirpersonal experiences with their medical conditions. This study aims at exploring online narratives shared by patients with BipolarDepression disorder where they self-report their medical diagnoses of the disorder and reflect on the hardships they go throughin their lives. The study employs Martin and White’s (2005) Appraisal Theory to examine the JUDGMENTS that patients make abouttheir behaviors and the behaviors of people around them. In order to extract the JUDGMENT utterances from the corpusof narratives, the study uses syntactic patterns that may yield evaluative utterances. The results of the study show that judgmentswhich belong to capacity [i.e., how (in)capable a person is] and propriety [i.e., how (un)ethical a person is] measurethe highest scores among all other subtypes of JUDGMENT. The study also provides a lexicon for the most frequent expressions thatconvey JUDGMENT, which could be used to enrich the Appraisal resources.

VISUAL INTERPRETABILITY ALONE HELPS ADVER-

Recent works have empirically shown that there exist adversarial examples that can be hidden from neural network interpretability, and interpretability is itself susceptible to adversarial attacks. In this paper, we theoretically show that with the correct measurement of interpretation, it is actually difficult to hide adversarial examples, as confirmed by experiments on MNIST, CIFAR-10 and Restricted ImageNet. Spurred by that, we develop a novel defensive scheme built only on robust interpretation (without resorting to adversarial loss minimization). We show that our defense achieves similar classification robustness to state-of-the-art robust training methods while attaining higher interpretation robustness under various settings of adversarial attacks.
Assessing SMEs’ Sustainable Growth through Entrepreneurs’ Ability and Entrepreneurial Orientation: An Insight into SMEs in Côte d’Ivoire

In most countries, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) play a key role in driving sustainable economic growth and job creation; hence, the need to investigate factors (e.g., entrepreneurial factors) that influence SMEs’ sustainable growth (SMESG). This study provides an insight into entrepreneurs’ abilities (EAs) that affect SMESG in Cote d’Ivoire (a middle-income economy located in the West African region) and an assessment of the extent to which entrepreneurial orientation (EO) influences the EA–SMESG relationship. By using data from 320 Ivorian SMEs, the results of hypothesis testing confirm an association between SMESG and each EA dimension (creativity, risk control, relationship, and opportunity detection ability), learning ability excepted. As for the moderating effect of EO, the innovativeness in entrepreneurship positively and significantly regulates the EA–SMESG relationship; proactiveness positively regulates the relationship between almost all EA dimensions and SMESG; and risk tendency regulates the relationship EA–SMESG for creativity and risk-control ability. Based on major findings, management implications are formulated in relation to promoting SMEs’ sustainable growth. For example, in light of the impact of EA on SMESG, development actors can increase the efficiency of Ivorian SMEs through actions aiming at strengthening the abilities of entrepreneurs and managers.
Pay Me Later is Not Always Positively Associated with Bank Risk Reduction—From the Perspective of Long-Term Compensation and Black Box Effect

The relationship between executive compensation and bank risk-taking is one of the core topics of corporate governance theory. Especially after the 2008 global financial crisis, due to the characteristics of banks, such as systemic risk, this relationship has become more important. However, though usually calculated on the basis of cash salary and inside equity, which can promote risk incentives, inside debt was considered a tool for risk reduction in prior empirical analyses. Based on actual bank situations, we had doubts about this relationship and wanted to verify the specific relationship between inside debt and risk. We initiated this research by setting up a theoretical model between inside debt and bank default risk and by simulating the result using data from Wells Fargo & Co. to draw the function image. We are the first to define the three kinds of compensation in three dimensions. Then, considering bankruptcy, we found the black box effect exists. Therefore, different from prior views, pay me later not only reduces but also increases risk. We expect our findings to offer help to the formulation of policies for pay contracts.
Assessing the Influence of Responsive Disorder on the Academic Performance of Married Post-graduate Students in North eastern Universities in Nigeria

The study assessed the influence of Responsive disorder on the academic performance of married postgraduate students in North Eastern Universities in Nigeria. Two research questions and two null hypotheses were formulated in harmony with the objectives of the study. The design of this study is survey. The population of the study consist of 22,772 married post-graduate students from 4 Universities in North-east, Nigeria. The sample size for the study was 422 determined using the Proportionate sampling strategy employed at different levels in selection of postgraduate students from the four Universities and along gender lines. The researcher developed two instruments for data collection for the study titled: Students’ Responsive disorder Inventory and Research and Statistics Achievement Test. The reliabilities of the instruments yielded 0.84 and 0.87 reliability coefficients of internal consistency for SRDI and RSAT respectively. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize data related to the research questions. Linear regression statistic was used to test the formulated null hypotheses. It was found that postgraduate students face Responsive disorder even with an above average level academic performance. Responsive disorder significantly influenced academic achievement of postgraduate students who are married in Universities in North-east Nigeria. Also, Responsive disorder significantly predicts academic achievement of postgraduate students irrespective of gender. The study concludes that there is relatively high level agreement among postgraduate students in the North-east states with respect to the Responsive disorder faced by them. The finding debunks traditional beliefs that married people are more likely to perform poorly or even drop-out. This study found support for the position that married people may beat the single and even complete their studies before the singles. The study recommends among others that; coping strategies be evolved to help resolve the debacle; Scholarships should be awarded to students to reduce the financial burden, and, efforts should be invested in promoting emotional health among post-graduate students in order to mellow the negative effect on their academic performance.

Energy-Saving Potential of Daylighting in the Atria of Colleges in Najran University, Saudi Arabia

Daylighting is recognised as an effective strategy for enhancing visual comfort and reducing energy used for electric lighting. Najran University, Saudi Arabia, has 15 colleges for males and 10 colleges for females. Each college has several atria and courtyards for introducing daylighting into the hearts of college buildings. However, the electrical lights used in the colleges atria and linked corridors keep on all the daytime. This study is an attempt to investigate the daylight illuminance level and energy-saving potential on the atria and linked corridors when it incorporates a time-scheduling lighting control system. The field measurements were performed in the College of Applied Medical Sciences. The results indicate that daylight illuminance in the atrium spaces are abundant with an average illumination level on the atrium floor varying from 300 lux to 3 600 lux, depending on the time of the day. In the clear sky climate of Najran city throughout the year, the time-scheduling control system is effective and found to contribute to approximately 43 855.2 kWh of annual energy savings in electrical-lighting consumption in the present case study scenario. The total annual energy savings from all 25 colleges at Najran University is 1 096 380 kWh/year, which results in a cost saving of approximately 93,512.86 USD. There would be additional substantial savings from other atria and courtyards in all of the college buildings throughout the campus
Pretreatment with [EMIM]Ac/DMAc co-solvent to improve enzymatic saccharification of pussy willow (Salix gracilistyla Miq.)

Pretreatment of Salix gracilistyla Miq. with 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([EMIM]Ac) together with N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc) as a co-solvent achieved an improvement in enzymatic saccharification yield in comparison to the raw material without pretreatment. The effects of the [EMIM]Ac/DMAc ratio (7:3, 5:5, and 3:7), pretreatment temperature (80 to 140°C), and pretreatment time (1 to 3 h) on enzyme saccharification were investigated. Acremonium cellulase and Optimash BG were used as the enzyme cocktail. With addition of DMAc to [EMIM]Ac, the viscosity of the co-solvent was drastically decreased. With increasing pretreatment temperature and time, the water soluble fraction increased at all [EMIM]Ac/DMAc ratios. The cellulose crystallinity also increased with increasing amount of DMAc in the co-solvent but decreased with increasing pretreatment temperature. The yields of glucose and xylose increased with increasing [EMIM]Ac amounts in the co-solvent, varying from 72.8% to 84.3% and 75.3% to 88.1%, respectively, for all [EMIM]Ac/DMAc ratios. These values were markedly higher than the glucose and xylose yields of 25.7% and 8.4%, respectively, obtained with DMAc alone and comparable to the 86.7% and 83.9% yields, respectively, obtained with [EMIM]Ac alone. The highest glucose and xylose yields obtained under the investigated pretreatment conditions were 84.3% and 88.1%, respectively.

Modelling approaches to predict and evaluate schistosomiasis immunization utilizing SEA loaded on chitosan nanoparticles via liver tissue differentiation and angiogenesis

Background: Anti-schistosome vaccination is a necessary approach to minimize the hepatic vascular changes that lead to hepatic pathological consequences. Objective: To assess the prophylactic impact of soluble egg antigen (SEA) loaded on chitosan nanoparticles (ChNPs) on hepatic vascular and pathological consequences in experimental schistosomiasis. Material and Methods: Seventy male Swiss albino mice were classified into 7 groups; each of 10. G1: Non-infected control; G2: Infected control group; G3: Injected by ChNPs then infected subcutaneously (SC) with S. mansoni cercaria; G4: Injected by Freund’s Complete Adjuvant (FCA) then infected; G5: Injected by crude schistosomal egg antigen (SEA) combined with FCA (SEA-FCA) then infected; G6: Injected by SEA loaded on ChNPs (SEA-ChNPs) then infected; G7: Injected by both SEA-FCA + SEA-ChNPs then infected. Evaluation was done by parasitological, histopathological and immunohistochemical studies in murine models challenged by Schistosoma mansoni infection. Results: SEA-ChNPs was more successful in reducing stools and liver egg counts, hepatic granulomas number and size, improving hepatic architecture and vasculature, minimizing hepatic fibrosis, enhancing angiogenesis constructive impact, ameliorating adverse effects during fibrogenesis and remodeling of hepatic tissue by fibrosis degradation than SEA-FCA. Conclusion: ChNPs potentiated the protective and immune impact of SEA as proved by parasitological, histopathological and immunohistochemical assays; and confirmed its specific, marked, supportive and constructive effects on hepatic angiogenesis
Bulletin of the Geological Society of Greece

We present preliminary results from an ongoing study of deformation and fluid flow within the meta-carbonates of the Plattenkalk nappe exposed in central and western Crete, Greece. Deforma­ tion was controlled by lithological properties and is mainly expressed as makroto meso-scale folds and localized thrusts. Folds along several profiles are mainly asymmetric flexural-slip folds with south to southeast vergence, sub-horizontal east-west trending fold axes, and variable fold opening angles. The large folds commonly invert the stratigraphie section. Variable recrystallization near cracks and bedding contacts within the carbonate rocks suggests that localization of fluids into channelways left much of the rock sequence "dry" during metamorphism. The style of the late Terti­ ary deformation and general tectonic setting for the Plattenkalk nappe suggests that accretion and deformation are "thin-skinned".
Anxiety and Depression in Cardiac Inherited Disease: Prevalence and Association With Clinical and Psychosocial Factors

Background: The small number of published studies indicate increased rates of anxiety and depression among patients with cardiac inherited diseases (CID). This study aimed to assess the prevalence of anxiety and depression in a New Zealand CID cohort and seek any associations with clinical and psychosocial factors.Method: Patients on a national CID register were sent a survey; 202 of 563 contactable patients participated (36% response rate). Ages ranged from 16 to 83 years (median 53). Most had Long QT Syndrome (43%) or Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (34%). Questionnaires collected demographic and psychological variables, including anxiety (GAD-7), depression (PHQ-9), illness perceptions, perceived risk and social support. The registry supplied clinical and genetic characteristics.Results: 80 participants (42%) reported features of anxiety and/or depression. 24 (13%) reached clinical levels of depression, a greater proportion than that found in the general population. Poorer perceived social support was associated with worse anxiety (p < .001) and depression (p < .001) scores. Reporting more physical symptoms (p = .001) (commonly not caused by the CID) was associated with poorer depression scores and greater perceived consequences of the CID was associated with greater anxiety scores (p < .05). Neither anxiety nor depression were associated with time since diagnosis, disease severity or type of disease.Conclusion: Forty percent of the CID population live with some degree of psychopathology but this did not correlate with disease severity, type of disease nor time since diagnosis. Correlating factors which may be modifiable include illness perceptions, various physical symptoms and social support.
Influence of Volatile Peppermint (Mentha ×piperita L.) Compounds on Germination and Seedling of Radish (Raphanus sativus L. var. radicula Pers.) Growth

The research concerns the influence of volatile compounds contained in dry peppermint leaves (Mentha ×piperita L.) on germination and seedling characteristics of radish (Raphanus sativus L. var. radicula Pers. ‘Półdługa’). 1, 5 and 10 g of dried peppermint leaves were added respectively into containers, and then Petri dishes with radish seeds were placed in each of them. The control was performed without dried mint. Radish seeds treated with volatile mint compounds in the lowest 1g dose germinated similarly to the control sample. The other two doses, 5 and 10 g, inhibited the process of seeds germination. Allelophatins from M. ×piperita at 1 g of dose had also a stimulating effect on the growth of radish seedlings, especially its roots. The growth of underground organs was also observed at 5 and 10 g doses. For radishes grown in the lowest dose of allelopathic compounds, the values of fresh and dry masses and percentage water content were highest. As the dose of emitters increased, a slight decrease in the value of these parameters was observed, as compared to the control.
