Lichen Striatus: An Updated Review
Authors: Leung Alexander K.C. , Lam Joseph M. , Barankin Benjamin , Leong Kin Fon
Published: January 2024

Background::

Lichen striatus is a benign dermatosis that affects mainly children. This
condition mimics many other dermatoses.

Objective::

The purpose of this article is to familiarize pediatricians with the clinical manifestations
of lichen striatus to avoid misdiagnosis, unnecessary investigations, unnecessary referrals,
and mismanagement of lichen striatus.

Methods::

A search was conducted in June 2023 in PubMed Clinical Queries using the key term
“Lichen striatus”. The search strategy included all observational studies, clinical trials, and reviews
published within the past ten years. Only papers published in the English literature were included
in this review. The information retrieved from the above search was used in the compilation
of this article.

Results::

Lichen striatus is a benign self-limited T-cell mediated dermatosis characterized by a linear
inflammatory papular eruption seen primarily in children. The onset is usually sudden with
minimal or absent symptomatology. The eruption in typical lichen striatus consists of discrete, skin-
colored, pink, erythematous, or violaceous, flat-topped, slightly elevated, smooth or scaly papules
that coalesce to form a dull red, potentially scaly, interrupted or continuous band over days
to weeks. Although any part of the body may be involved, the extremities are the sites of predilection.
Typically, the rash is solitary, unilateral, and follows Blaschko lines. In dark-skinned individuals,
the skin lesions may be hypopigmented at onset. Nails may be affected alone or, more commonly,
along with the skin lesions of lichen striatus. The differential diagnoses of lichen striatus
are many and the salient features of other conditions are highlighted in the text.

Conclusion::

Lichen striatus is a self-limited condition that often resolves within one year without
residual scarring but may have transient post-inflammatory hypopigmentation or hyperpigmentation.
As such, treatment may not be necessary. For patients who desire treatment for cosmesis or
for the symptomatic treatment of pruritus, a low- to mid-potency topical corticosteroid or a topical
immunomodulator can be used. A fading cream can be used for post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Role of Conventional and Novel Classes of Diuretics in Various Diseases
Authors: Yadav Nitika , Kushwaha Neelottama , Kushwaha Swatantra K.S. , Yadav Priyank
Published: January 2024

Diuretics are advised as the initial course of action for hypertension because they are successful
in lowering hypervolemia and resolving electrolyte abnormalities. The most popular diuretics
are included with their main characteristics in this summary. The primary line of treatment for common
cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular diseases is diuretics. Patients with hypertension, oedema,
heart failure, as well as a variety of renal disorders are frequently treated with conventional diuretics.
The usage of the various types of diuretics that are now licensed for therapeutic use generally has a
favourable risk/benefit ratio. Nevertheless, they are not without drawbacks. Pharmaceutical scientists
have thus been working to develop new drugs with an enhanced pharmacological profile. SGLT2
inhibitors (sodium-glucose-linked cotransporter 2 inhibitors) have altered how hypoglycaemic medications
are thought to affect heart failure. Despite the presence or absence of diabetes, the sodiumglucose-
linked cotransporter subtype 2-inhibitor class, which was first developed as a therapy for
T2DM (Type 2 Diabetes mellitus), has shown considerable promise in lowering cardiovascular risk,
particularly in relation to heart failure (HF) outcomes. The immediate and substantial improvements
observed in clinical studies do not appear to be attributable to the drug's fundamental mechanism,
which involves inducing glycosuria and diuresis by blocking receptors in the renal nephron. Among
patients with chronic heart failure and cirrhosis, hyponatremia is a risk factor for death.

Published: January 2024

Current cancer treatment options have presented numerous challenges in terms of reaching high efficacy.
As a result, an immediate step must be taken to create novel therapies that can achieve more than satisfying
outcomes in the fight against tumors. Ferroptosis, an emerging form of regulated cell death (RCD) that is reliant
on iron and reactive oxygen species, has garnered significant attention in the field of cancer therapy. Ferroptosis
has been reported to be induced by a variety of small molecule compounds known as ferroptosis inducers (FINs),
as well as several licensed chemotherapy medicines. These compounds' low solubility, systemic toxicity, and
limited capacity to target tumors are some of the significant limitations that have hindered their clinical effectiveness.
A novel cancer therapy paradigm has been created by the hypothesis that ferroptosis induced by nanoparticles
has superior preclinical properties to that induced by small drugs and can overcome apoptosis resistance.
Knowing the different ideas behind the preparation of nanomaterials that target ferroptosis can be very helpful in
generating new ideas. Simultaneously, more improvement in nanomaterial design is needed to make them appropriate
for therapeutic treatment. This paper first discusses the fundamentals of nanomedicine-based ferroptosis to
highlight the potential and characteristics of ferroptosis in the context of cancer treatment. The latest study on
nanomedicine applications for ferroptosis-based anticancer therapy is then highlighted.
Salivary Biomarkers for Oral Cancer Detection: Insights from Human DNA and RNA Analysis
Authors: Navale Archana , Deshpande Atharva
Published: January 2024

:

Oral cancer is a significant global health concern, with a high mortality rate mainly
due to late-stage diagnosis. Early detection plays a critical role in improving patient outcomes,
highlighting the need for non-invasive and accessible screening methods. Salivary biomarkers
have emerged as a promising avenue for oral cancer detection, leveraging advancements in human
DNA and RNA analysis. Several DNA-based biomarkers, such as genetic mutations, chromosomal
aberrations, and epigenetic alterations, have shown promise in detecting oral cancer at
various stages. Likewise, RNA-based biomarkers, including microRNAs, long non-coding
RNAs, and messenger RNAs, have demonstrated potential for diagnosing oral cancer and predicting
treatment outcomes. The integration of high-throughput sequencing technologies, such as
next-generation sequencing and transcriptomic profiling, has enabled the identification of novel
biomarkers and provided deeper insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying oral cancer
development and progression. Despite the promising results, challenges remain in standardizing
sample collection, establishing robust biomarker panels, and validating their clinical utility.
Nevertheless, salivary biomarkers hold great promise as a non-invasive, cost-effective, and accessible
approach for oral cancer detection, ultimately leading to improved patient outcomes
through early diagnosis and intervention. The analysis of genetic material obtained from saliva
offers several advantages, including ease of collection, non-invasiveness, and the potential for
repeated sampling. Furthermore, saliva reflects the physiological and pathological status of the
oral cavity, making it an ideal source for biomarker discovery and validation. This article presents
a comprehensive review of the current research on salivary biomarkers for oral cancer detection,
focusing on insights gained from human DNA and RNA analysis.
The Role of Gut Microbiota and Associated Compounds in Cardiovascular Health and its Therapeutic Implications

Published: January 2024

:

It is possible that gut bacteria may have a beneficial effect on cardiovascular health in
humans. It may play a major role in the progression of a variety of cardiovascular diseases, including
Heart Failure (HF), Atherosclerosis, Coronary Arterial Disease (CAD), Ischemic Heart
Disease (IHD), and Others. Dysbiosis of the gut microbiota, along with its direct and indirect
impact on gut health, may induce cardiovascular disorders. Although advanced studies have
demonstrated the relationship of various metabolites to cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in animals,
translating their functional capacity to humans remains a significant area of research. This
paper simplifies the demonstration of some compounds, pathways, and components like Trimethylamine
N-oxide (TMAO), short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), and butyrate production. It
demonstrates how a change in eating habits causes TMAO and how the impact of different drugs
on gut microbiota species and high consumption of Westernized food causes several heartrelated
problems, such as atherosclerosis and inflammation that can even become the cause of
heart failure. Modulation of the gut microbiome, on the other hand, is a novel therapeutic measure
because it can be easily altered through diet and other lifestyle changes. It could then be used
to lower the risk of several CVDs.
Potential Neuroprotective Role of Neurotrophin in Traumatic Brain Injury
Authors: Yap Rei Shian , Kumar Jaya , Teoh Seong Lin
Published: January 2024

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major global health issue that affects millions of people
every year. It is caused by any form of external force, resulting in temporary or permanent impairments
in the brain. The pathophysiological process following TBI usually involves excitotoxicity,
mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, inflammation, ischemia, and apoptotic cell death. It is
challenging to find treatment for TBI due to its heterogeneous nature, and no therapeutic interventions
have been approved thus far. Neurotrophins may represent an alternative approach for TBI
treatment because they influence various functional activities in the brain. The present review highlights
recent studies on neurotrophins shown to possess neuroprotective roles in TBI. Neurotrophins,
specifically brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and nerve growth factor (NGF) have demonstrated
reduced neuronal death, alleviated neuroinflammatory responses and improved neurological
functions following TBI via their immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
Further studies are required to ensure the efficacy and safety of neurotrophins to be used as TBI
treatment in clinical settings.
Design and Analyze the Effect of Hetero Material and Dielectric on TFET
with Dual Work Function Engineering
Authors: Palanichamy Vimala , Thankamony Sarasam Arun Samuel
Published: January 2024

Background:

As the size of the field effect transistors is reduced down to nanometers, the
performance of the devices is affected by various short-channel effects. To overcome these effects,
various novel devices are used. Tunnel Field Effect Transistors (TFET) are novel devices in which
the drain current needs to be improved. Gate engineering and III-V compound materials are proposed
to improve the ON current and reduce the leakage current along with its ambipolar behaviour.

Methods:

The proposed device structure is designed with a heterojunction hetero dielectric dual material
gate Tunnel Field Effect Transistor incorporating various combinations of III-V compound
materials such as AlGaAsSb/InGaAs, InGaAs/Ge, InGaAs/InP and SiGe/Si. As in III-V composite
materials like AlGaAsSb/InGaAs, the narrower bandgap at the source channel interface helps to
improve the electric field across the junction. At the same time, the wider bandgap at the channel
drain junction leads to unidirectional current flow, resulting in ambipolar reduction. 2D TCAD simulation
is used to obtain the electrical parameters for Hetero junction TFETs and the comparison analysis
of different Hetero device structures.

Results:

The device's electrical parameters, such as energy band diagram, current density, electric
field, drain current, gate capacitance and transconductance, have been simulated and analyzed. Besides,
the dual material used in the gate, such as Metal1 (M1) and Metal2 (M2), along with
HfO2/SiO2 stacked dielectric, helps improve the gate controllability over the channel and the leakage
current reduction.

Conclusion:

An ION=10-1A/μm, IOFF = 10-12A/μm at drive voltage 0.5V is obtained for InGaAs/InP
layer at the source channel hetero junction TFET, and ION=10-2A/μm, IOFF =10-14A/μm at drive voltage
0.5V is obtained for SiGe/Si layer at the source channel hetero junction TFET. Therefore, the
InGaAs/InP and SiGe/Si layer TFET are more suitable for ultra-low power integrated circuits.
Enhancing Recommendation Systems with Skew Deviation Bias for Shilling Attack Detection
Authors: Gambhir Sarika , Dhawan Sanjeev , Singh Kulvinder
Published: January 2024

Introduction:

Recommender systems serve as a powerful tool to address the challenges
of information overload by delivering personalized recommendations. However, their susceptibility
to profile injection or shilling attacks poses a significant threat. Malicious entities can introduce
fabricated profiles into the database of users to manipulate the popularity of specific items,
subsequently influencing prediction outcomes

Methods:

Detecting and mitigating the impact of such attacks is critical for preserving recommendation
accuracy and user trust. The primary objective of this study is to develop an integrated
framework for robust shilling attack detection and data sparsity mitigation in recommendation
systems. This approach aims to make the system more resistant to manipulative attacks and improve
recommendation quality, especially when dealing with limited data. In this paper, Skew
Deviation Bias (SDB), is a novel metric that gauges the skewness within rating distributions, enabling
the identification of both fabricated shilling profiles and the anomalous rating behaviors exhibited
by attackers. Building upon this foundation, SDB is integrated with other statistical metrics
like Rating deviation from the mean agreement (RDMA), Weighted deviation from the mean
agreement (WDMA), Weighted degree of agreement (WDA), and length variance. This research
investigates the impact of incorporating SDB alongside existing attributes in countering various
attack scenarios, including random, average, and bandwagon attacks.

Results:

Extensive experiments are conducted to compare the effectiveness of SDB when integrated
with existing attributes against scenarios employing only existing attributes. These experiments
cover a range of attack sizes while maintaining a fixed 50% filler size. The results of thorough
comparative analyses demonstrate the consistent superiority of the SDB-integrated approach,
resulting in higher accuracy across all attack types compared to scenarios using only existing attributes.
Notably, the random attack scenario shows the most significant accuracy improvement
among the evaluated scenarios.

Conclusion:

The approach achieves a detection accuracy of 97.08% for random shilling attacks,
affirming its robustness. Furthermore, in the context of data sparsity, the approach notably enhances
recommendation quality.

Blinded RCT
Authors: Hayavi-Haghighi Mohammad Hossein , Davoodi Somayeh , Mosallanejad Marjan
Published: January 2024

Introduction:

Given the importance of anxiety management in pandemics, this
study evaluated the effectiveness of telepsychiatry in reducing anxiety in outpatients with
COVID-19 and their satisfaction.

Methods:

This RCT was conducted in a health center in which 188 COVID-19 outpatients
participated. First, anxiety level was measured in both the intervention (IG) and control
(CG) groups using the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI). Then, the IG was offered four educational
contents via WhatsApp for four consecutive weeks. One month later, participants
completed the BAI questionnaire again, and the CG completed a satisfaction questionnaire.
Descriptive statistics and Wilcoxon and Chi-square tests were applied.

Results:

Psychosomatic complications were significantly reduced only in IG, but physical
complications were reduced in both groups. Total anxiety also decreased significantly in
both groups, but more significantly in IG (p < .001 for IG and p < .039 for CG). The efficacy
of telepsychiatry in reducing anxiety in healthcare workers was greater than in other
occupational groups. There was no significant relationship between other demographic
variables and telepsychiatry effectiveness. Seventy-eight percent of IG participants had a
high level of satisfaction and 70.3% expressed a high desire to receive telepsychiatry in the
future. The most important advantages of telepsychiatry were observing social distance,
saving time, and reducing costs. In addition, The most important challenges were the lack
of face-to-face contact, the lack of previous experience, and the late response of the psychologist.

Conclusion:

Telepsychiatry effectively reduced moderate anxiety related to COVID-19
and provided high satisfaction.

Authors: Hashim Hashim Talib , Adeel Riaz Mehr Muhammad , Shah Askar , Shah Jaffar , Ali Hossam Tharwat , Hashim Ali Talib , Sula Idris
Published: January 2024

Background:

Drug and stimulant abuse is especially common in low and middle-
income countries, such as Iraq and certain populations, such as highway drivers.
Moreover, Iraq has high rates of traffic and road accidents.

Objective:

Our objective was to assess the associations of using stimulants with traffic
events among highway drivers in Iraq.

Methods:

We used a cross-sectional study design, in which a self-administered questionnaire
was distributed online on different social media platforms. The study included male
highway drivers who used drugs from all provinces of Iraq. The questionnaire consisted of
demographic questions and an addiction questionnaire about stimulants specially validated
for the Arabic language. We followed a convenience sampling method to recruit participants.

Results:

A total of 1700 participants from 18 provinces were included with a median
(IQR) age of 34 (24:55) years. Around 58% used drugs for reasons other than medical indications,
while 81% reported abusing prescription drugs. Amphetamine and cocaine were
used by 52% and 20% of the participants, respectively. Around 84% of the drivers had at
least 56 driving hours per week, while 87% were involved in illegal activities due to drug
use. Most of the participants (78%) had accidents at least three times per month. Most of
the participants had social and medical issues.

Conclusion:

Drug use, especially stimulant use, is a major contributor to road accidents
and thus, increased morbidity and mortality rates in Iraq. Urgent policies and regulations
are needed regarding the dispensing of drugs and the working hours of the drivers.

Authors: Donato Patricio G. , Funes Marcos A.
Published: January 2024

Background:

Smart grids have expanded over the last decade, with large-scale smart
meter deployments in several regions of the world.

Objective:

The goal of this perspective is to discuss the social challenges faced by smart grids.
While numerous scholarly works have thoroughly examined smart grids from a technical perspective,
a noticeable shift has occurred in recent years towards conducting research about the
interaction between technology and customers that shows some issues to future deployments.

Methods:

This study is a review of recent literature on smart grids focused on studies related to
the social acceptance of these networks, which has been published in the last five years.

Results:

The review of studies shows that discussion about smart grids has been traditionally focused
on technology, paying no attention to social issues.

Conclusion:

It is essential to understand the motivations behind public perceptions of smart grids
in order to enhance and extend awareness campaigns in the short and medium term, as without
social support, the expectations placed on smart grids may be severely limited.

Authors: Wijaya Ikha Adhi , Nugroho Andy Bayu , Alzuhdy Yosa Abduh , Jupply Donald
Published: January 2024

The multi-modal translation process greatly influences the results of the translation of children's picture storybooks produced by Yogyakarta State University students. Bildung from the translator and the method used is a guarantee to produce a quality translation. This research tries to reveal the translation process of children's picture stories from genetic, generic, and affective aspects. The data were analyzed using the distribution and referential method. Through the SFL and VG (multi-modal) approaches, the researcher reveals the translation process carried out by students of English Literature at Yogyakarta State University. The research results show that genetic aspects obtained from interviews and questionnaires are positively correlated with affective aspects. The positive results of the synthesis of both are also confirmed by positive patterns in the generic aspect. This is proven through the intercorrelation of text and images which complement each other in presenting an interpretation for a comprehensive reader. Based on the intercorrelation of these three aspects, it can be concluded that based on this phenomenon, translators in the translation process use multimodality theory to present appropriate translations with good translation quality.

Socio-Psychological Features of Gender-Role Socialization of Children of Different Ages
Authors: Budovskaya I. V.
Published: January 2024

In the modern world, with the development of technologies, which are one of the most priority sources of information for children about norms and patterns of behavior, cultural values, and moral ideals, special attention is paid to the formation of a rather important aspect of life, as a model of human relationships “man-woman”. The purpose of the study is to study the socio-psychological characteristics of gender role socialization of children of different ages as a factor in a differentiated approach to the education and development of different sexes. The relevance of our research is due to the role of educational institutions in the gender-role socialization of children in the modern world: pedagogical support of this process with knowledge of the psychological characteristics of the gender development of children will allow us to avoid the great influence of natural factors on the upbringing of the younger generation.Through gender socialization, a person perceives any information and also transmits it to the world around him. An empirical study was conducted to study the socio-psychological characteristics of gender-role socialization of children of different ages and to determine the conditions for overcoming the problems of gender-gender self-determination of children. 45 schoolchildren of the ANO secondary school “Academic Gymnasium” took part in the study
Motivational and Active Salience in Ethnopsycholinguistic Studies of Values
Authors: Adamova Z. G.
Published: January 2024

The article is devoted to the problem of the role of speech activity in the formation and transformation of culture. To solve this problem, the author substantiates the need to determine the principles of functioning of speech activity as a social phenomenon. Based on a comparison of the conceptual provisions of activity theories, psychological and sociological, the author determines the specificity of speech activity as social (self-regulatory); compares the principles of studying the “life-world” in sociology and the “image of the world” in psychology as the implementation of a “life program”; defines the basic principles of ethnopsycholinguistic research of the “image of the world” as a regulating mechanism of human and society activity; argues for the introduction of the category of motivational and active salience into the ethnopsycholinguistic study of values. Understanding the “image of the world” as a situation of correlating activity with reality allows us to determine the principles of organization and functioning of speech activity as social or self-regulatory. Based on the role of speech activity in the formation and functioning of the “image of the world,” interdisciplinary problems of the essence and conditions for the formation of personality and society are solved. To do this, it is proposed to introduce the category of motivational and functional significance, established on the basis of the data of an associative experiment, into the modeling of the structure and content of the actual psychological meaning (meaning) of values as an attitude towards action in a certain direction. A special role is given to the interpretation of emotional speech actions, considered as a manifestation of attitude to the conditions of activity; as well as the “effective” component, the content of which is associated with understanding the situation from the point of view of methods (operations) of action. The fundamentally interdisciplinary nature of the object of study - speech action as a social one - makes it possible to use the proposed model in the study of various aspects of cognition (psychological, sociological, cultural, political science, etc.) and thereby offers a verbal methodology for studying interdisciplinary problems of cognition.
Differentiation of the Subject and the Complement in French Sentences: Difficulties of Translation
Authors: Zviagintseva V. V. , Kruzhilina T. V.
Published: January 2024

This article deals with the problem of the non-prepositional members of the French narrative sentence. The main goal is to clarify the basic principles of the positioning of the subject and the complement, their interchangeability, the principles of localization in written speech. Within the framework of the work, descriptive, comparativehistorical, comparative and semantic-stylistic methods of language research were used. The results of the analysis of grammatical reference books and fiction of the XVIII-XX centuries made it possible to prove the connection of the position of the subject and the complement with their syntactic function. The semantic component in the expression of syntactic relations is analyzed. Advanced hypothesis were verified with the examples of four translations of the classic Russian novel of the XIX century. The research will expand the comprehension of subject and complement in the French narrative sentence and, perhaps, encourage linguists to further study this phenomenon not only in analytical, but also in inflectional languages.
