Published: January 2024

Background: Maintenance of physical and psychological health is crucial to prevent general health problemsin older persons. There is inadequate information on gender based physical and psychological health statusin older adults attending primary care clinics in Malaysia.Study Design: Cross-sectional studyMethods: 106 participants were required to perform physical performance tests consisting of 30secs chairstand (30sCS), chair sit and reach (CSR), back scratch (BS), timed up and go (TUG), single leg stance (SLS)and 2minutes walk (2MWT) tests. Psychological health measures consisted of Satisfaction with Life Scale(SWLS) and General Health Questionnaire-28 (GHQ-28).Results: Only CSR was found to be significantly higher in men (M= 1.27, SD= 3.1) compared to women(M= -0.88, SD= 3.67). A significant correlation (p<0.05) was found only in men between GHQ-28 and 30seconds sit to stand test (r= -0.424), TUG (r= 0.361) and 2 Minute walk test (r= -0.436).Conclusion: Older males and females had similar physical and psychological measures except for lowerlimb flexibility which was greater in females. Lower physical performance (lower body strength, mobilityand endurance) correlated with higher psychological issues in older males. There may be a need to considerdistinct physical and psychological needs between genders in order to provide optimum health preventionand management stategies among older adults.

Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) is a collective term for a group of musculoskeletal conditions involvingpain and/or dysfunction in the masticatory muscles, temporomandibular joints (TMJ) and associatedstructures. It is the most common type of non-odontogenic orofacial pain and patients can present with painaffecting the face/head, TMJ and/or teeth, limitations in jaw movement and sounds in the TMJ during jawmovements. Comorbid painful and non-painful conditions are also common among individuals with TMD.The diagnosis of TMD have significantly improved over time with the recent Diagnostic Criteria for TMD(DC/TMD) being reliable and valid for most common diagnoses, and an efficient way to communicate inmultidisciplinary settings. This classification covers 12 most common TMD, including painful (myalgia,arthralgia and headache attributed to TMD) as well as the non-painful (disc displacements, degenerativejoint disease and subluxation) TMD diagnoses. Recent studies have demonstrated that the pathophysiologyof common painful TMD is biopsychosocial and multifactorial, where no one factor is responsible for itsdevelopment.Importantly, research has suggested different predisposing, initiating and perpetuating factors, includingboth peripheral and central mechanisms. This is an active field of investigation and future studies will notonly seek to clarify specific causal pathways but translate this knowledge into mechanism-directed diagnosisand treatment. In accordance with this complex aetiology, current evidence supports primarily conservativemultidisciplinary treatment including self-management strategies, behavioural therapy, physical therapy andpharmacotherapy. The aim of this review is to present an overview of most recent developments in aetiology,pathophysiology, diagnosis and management of TMD.

Published: January 2024

Background: Somatoform disorder (SD), nowadays considered as the most frequent psychiatric diagnosis in general practice has strong association with anxiety. Though there are a handful of studies showing heart Rate variability (HRV) in SD patients, as such no studies according to author’s knowledge had been addressed to the anxiety component hidden in the SD patients applying HRV tests so far. Aims: Aim of the current study was assess the presence and extent of Heart rate variability in SD patients and to find out it’s possible relationship with their anxiety level. Materials and Methods: An analytical observational cross-sectional study was done among fifty newly diagnosed somatoform disorder patients of eighteen to forty years age attending Psychiatry OPD and fifty age and sex matched healthy control. After assessing their anxiety level using State Trait Anxiety Inventory, Short term Heart rate Variability tests were performed. Appropriate Statistical tests were applied using SPSS 20 version. Results: The SD patients showed reduced heart rate variability as SDNN and RMSDD were less, LF and LF/HF ratio were more in them than controls and significant differences were there. Both SAS and TAS scores were more in cases and there was positive correlation of TAS score with LF and LF/HF ratios. Conclusions: The results of this study actually set an alarm for controlling their symptoms as well as their hidden anxiety underneath, as reduced HRV poses the risk of developing cardiovascular disease and hidden anxiety has influence on heart rate variability.

Published: January 2024

Background: Necrotizing fasciitis is rapidly progressive, lethaldestructive inflammation with polymicrobialinfection and secondary necrosis. Though it is a disease described from the Hippocratic era, there is an increase inthe incidence of necrotizing fasciitis. The most important factors determining the outcome of the disease are earlydiagnosis and aggressive debridement.Materials and Methods: Cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted in a tertiary care teaching hospital’ssurgical ward. A total of 50 patients, diagnosed with necrotizing fasciitis based on the criteria set were includedin the study. After detailed clinical and laboratory evaluation, appropriate and adequate surgical and medicalinterventions were administered and were followed to note the outcome.Results: The majority of patients were over 40 years old and 74% of them were male. 72% of them had fever, 88% ofthem had tenderness. 68% of the patients had involvement of the lower extremities. Trauma was the predominanttriggering factor and diabetes, the most commonly associated predisposing disease present in 72% of patients.84% of the infections were polymicrobial and E. coli was isolated from 74% of them. 4 patients succumbed to thedisease and 6 patients needed amputations as a life-saving measure. Acidosis and hypoalbuminemia were themost common independent predictive factors for mortality. Once sepsis is overcome and the granulation tissue isformed, the wound is covered with an SSG or flap cover.Conclusion: The aggressive and destructive course of necrotizing fasciitis could lead to morbidity and mortality.Early recognition, aggressive debridement are the essential steps for recovery. Though broad-spectrum antibioticsstarted as empirical therapy to avoid the catastrophe of septic shock, appropriate antibiotics should be started asthe disease is often polymicrobial. Acidosis, truncallocation, leucocytosis and decreased albumin were found to befactors strongly associated with mortality.

Published: January 2024

El cáncer de piel es el tumor más común, siendo el carcinoma basocelular el más frecuente. Es un tumor de crecimiento lento que se produce principalmente en la piel fotoexpuesta, con un porcentaje bajo de metástasis. Pero, si no es tratado a tiempo puede llegar ser destructivo e incluso desfigurar la anatomía si el tratamiento se retrasa.1 La incidencia mundial para el año 2000 fue de 93.1 y 77.4 por 100000 hombres y mujeres respectivamente.2 Según las últimas estadísticas la incidencia del CBC en la población europea oscila entre 77 y 158 por 100 000 habitantes por año, mientras en que en Estados Unidos, se considera una cifra que va entre los 226 a 362 por cada 100.000 habitantes por año.3 En Ecuador, según las últimas estadísticas, la incidencia acumulada de cáncer de piel no melanoma es de 16.56 por cada 100.000 habitantes, de los cuales, el carcinoma basocelular ocupa el primer puesto con 11.82 por 100.000 habitantes 4. Por lo tanto, además de conocer los diferentes métodos terapéuticos que existen para este tipo de tumor, es importante determinar los factores condicionantes para elegir el más apropiado de acuerdo con el tipo de paciente y su riesgo de recurrencia en base al tratamiento elegido.

Authors: Rodionova Lilia Vladimirovna
Published: January 2024

The article is a composer's commentary on his own work. The piece for the dissected piano «Tien Shan» was created in May 1982, in the city of Frunze, under the impression of the beauty of the mountain landscapes. The thematic basis for the two-part contrasting form was the folk Kyrgyz intonation. The first section is written for the preparation of the piano, the second-for the usual one. The following composition techniques were used: sonoristic, aleatoric, twelve-tone notes, sophisticated jazz harmony, repetitively, technique is a Central element. The work implements a synthesis of music from the West and the East. The first section has more Western influence. The East is shown here in a quasi-folk play and the beginning of the play, where the intonation as2-h2-c1 is used. In the second section, the East is manifested much more deeply — at the level of motivation and ways of developing musical material. Folklore intonations are combined with twelve-tone notes.

This study aimed to analyze the production department’s partial productivity measurement using the Objective Matrix (OMAX) method at PT. GMK. The OMAX method's key performance indicators (KPIs) affecting the productivity index must be defined and weighted for each criterion using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). The study was conducted in the production division of PT. GMK, which produces compound chocolate. The results showed that the productivity of was affected by the partial productivity of raw materials and labor and the electric power’s effectiveness. Other factors were the minimization of overtime working hours, labor costs, downtime, as well as defective and semi-finished products. Moreover, this study determined the standard performance in the second semester of 2021. It also conducted a causal analysis using a fishbone diagram to find the cause of employees’ low productivity. The analysis showed that the average productivity index increased between January and August 2022.

Published: January 2024

The topic of financial technologies (Fintech), which has attracted enormous interest in the last decade, has become one of the most promising niches that allow participants providing services in the payment market to improve the efficiency of financial activity systems. Financial industry players such as commercial banks have begun to pay special attention to the development of this new niche. In order to maintain or occupy higher market positions, they must take into account the potential of financial technologies and their possible exploitation by integrating new solutions into already functioning banking systems. This article aims to reveal the influence of financial technologies on the financial efficiency of commercial banks. After highlighting the importance of financial technologies for commercial banks in the theoretical part of the study, the analytical part examines the financial indicators of Lithuanian commercial banks (SEB, Swedbank, Šiaulių bankas, and Citadelė) in the period 2017–2021. Correlation and regression analysis will be used to determine the impact of financial technologies on the financial efficiency of commercial banks. The results of this study determines how financial technology impacts the financial performance of commercial banks.

We have analyzed archival spectra of the hot UV-bright star ZNG 1 in the globular cluster M5 (NGC 5904) obtained with the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer and the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph. From these data, we derive an effective temperature T

☉. The atmosphere is helium-rich (Y = 0.99) and enhanced in CNO (relative to the cluster). The spectrum exhibits wind features with a terminal velocity near 1500 km s−1 and strong discrete absorption components. The high helium abundance, stellar mass, and rotational velocity suggest that the star is a merger remnant, and its parameters are consistent with models of a pair of merging He-core white dwarfs.

Published: January 2024

We report spectroscopic observations of vB 120 (HD 30712), a 5.7 yr astrometric–spectroscopic binary system in the Hyades cluster. We combine our radial velocities with others from the literature, and with existing speckle interferometry measurements, to derive an improved 3D orbit for the system. We infer component masses of M
1 = 1.065 ± 0.018 M
☉ and M
2 = 1.008 ± 0.016 M
☉, and an orbital parallax of 21.86 ± 0.15 mas, which we show to be more accurate than the parallax from Gaia DR3. This is the ninth binary or multiple system in the Hyades with dynamical mass determinations, and one of the examples with the highest precision. An analysis of its spectral energy distribution yields the absolute radii of the stars, R
1 = 0.968 ± 0.012 R
☉ and R
2 = 0.878 ± 0.013 R
☉, and effective temperatures of 5656 ± 56 K and 5489 ± 60 K for the primary and secondary, respectively. A comparison of these properties with the predictions of current stellar evolution models for the known age and metallicity of the cluster shows only minor differences.
Robust Evidence for the Breakdown of Standard Gravity at Low Acceleration from Statistically Pure Binaries Free of Hidden Companions
Authors: Chae Kyu-Hyun
Published: January 2024

It is found that Gaia Data Release 3 binary stars selected with stringent requirements on astrometric measurements and radial velocities naturally satisfy Newtonian dynamics without hidden close companions when the projected separation s ≲ 2 kau, showing that pure binaries can be selected. It is then found that pure binaries selected with the same criteria show a systematic deviation from the Newtonian expectation when s ≳ 2 kau. When both proper motions and parallaxes are required to have precision better than 0.005 and radial velocities better than 0.2, I obtain 2463 statistically pure binaries within a “clean” G-band absolute magnitude range. From this sample, I obtain an observed-to-Newtonian predicted kinematic acceleration ratio of

for acceleration ≲10−10 m s−2, in excellent agreement with 1.49 ± 0.07 for a much larger general sample with the amount of hidden close companions self-calibrated. I also investigate the radial profile of stacked sky-projected relative velocities without a deprojection to the 3D space. The observed profile matches the Newtonian predicted profile for s ≲ 2 kau without any free parameters, but shows a clear deviation at a larger separation with a significance of ≈5.0σ. The projected velocity boost factor for s ≳ 5 kau is measured to be

Finally, for a small sample of 40 binaries with exceptionally precise radial velocities (fractional errors <0.005), the directly measured relative velocities in the 3D space also show a boost at larger separations. These results robustly confirm the recently reported gravitational anomaly at low acceleration for a general sample.

The geographical exchange of non-native species can be highly asymmetrical, with some world regions donating or receiving more species than others. Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain such asymmetries, including differences in propagule pressure, source species (invader) pools, environmental features in recipient regions, or biological traits of invaders. We quantified spatiotemporal patterns in the exchange of non-native insects between Europe, North America, and Australasia, and then tested possible explanations for these patterns based on regional trade (import values) and model estimates of invader pool sizes. Europe was the dominant donor of non-native insect species between the three regions, with most of this asymmetry arising prior to 1950. This could not be explained by differences in import values (1827–2014), nor were there substantial differences in the sizes of modelled invader pools. Based on additional evidence from literature, we propose that patterns of historical plant introductions may explain these asymmetries, but this possibility requires further study.

Purpose:

To identify factors predicting slow visual recovery following hyperopic laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK).

Methods:

The study included consecutive patients who underwent hyperopic LASIK between January 2005 and December 2019 at a single medical center. Patients were divided into two groups according to whether they experienced normal recovery of visual acuity (1-week visit) or slow visual recovery (1-month visit). Visual recovery was defined as achieving an efficacy index of 0.9 or greater. Efficacy index was calculated as postoperative uncorrected distance visual acuity / preoperative corrected distance visual acuity. A comparison of baseline and intraoperative parameters was performed. Binary logistic regression was performed to identify potential predictors of slow visual recovery.

Results:

Overall, 861 eyes of 861 patients were included. Mean age was 48.0 ± 9.5 years and 55.9% were women. Two hundred forty-nine patients (28.9%) experienced slow visual recovery. Younger age (
P
= .01), a larger preoperative spherical equivalence (
P
= .002), and greater maximum ablation depth (
P
= .002) were predictors of slow visual recovery. In binary logistic regression, female gender (
P
= .036) and greater spherical equivalence (
P
= .007) remained significant predictors of slow visual recovery.

Conclusions:

Female gender and greater preoperative spherical equivalence were associated with slow visual recovery. Patients may be advised accordingly.
