Authors: Yang Dan-Ting , Ji Ping , Sun Jiao-Jiao , Gan Yan-Sha , Guo Shuai-Yi , Zhou Zhen-He , Gao Xue-Zheng
Published: February 2025

BACKGROUND

Very late-onset schizophrenia-like psychosis (VLOSLP) is a subtype of schizophrenia spectrum disorders in which individuals experience psychotic symptoms for the first time after the age of 60. The incidence of VLOSLP shows a linear relationship with increasing age. However, no studies have reported alterations in spontaneous brain activity among VLOSLP patients and their correlation with cognitive function and clinical symptoms.

AIM

To explore VLOSLP brain activity and correlations with cognitive function and clinical symptoms using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging.

METHODS

This study included 33 VLOSLP patients and 34 healthy controls. The cognitive assessment utilized the Mini Mental State Examination, Montreal Cognitive Assessment, and the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS). Clinical characteristic acquisition was performed via the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS). All participants were scanned via resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging, and the data were processed using amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations (ALFF), fractional ALFF (fALFF), regional homogeneity, and voxel-mirrored homotopic connectivity (VMHC).

RESULTS

The VLOSLP group presented decreased ALFF values in the left cuneus, right precuneus, right precentral gyrus, and left paracentral lobule; increased fALFF values in the left caudate nucleus; decreased fALFF values in the right calcarine fissure and surrounding cortex (CAL) and right precuneus; increased regional homogeneity values in the right putamen; and decreased VMHC values in the bilateral CAL, bilateral superior temporal gyrus, and bilateral cuneus. In the VLOSLP group, ALFF values in the right precuneus were negatively correlated with Mini Mental State Examination score and PANSS positive subscale score, and VMHC values in the bilateral CAL were negatively correlated with the RBANS total score, RBANS delayed memory score, and PANSS positive subscale score.

CONCLUSION

The changes of brain activity in VLOSLP are concentrated in the right precuneus and bilateral CAL regions, which may be associated with cognitive impairment and clinically positive symptoms.

Authors: Xu Fen , Shi Ling-Ling , Gao Li
Published: February 2025

BACKGROUND

Newborns are immediately admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) after birth, and thus mothers suffer from the pain of mother-infant separation. Some mothers worry about alterations in their child’s condition and the uncertainty and high medical costs of possible sequelae, which frequently cause anxiety, depression, and other adverse emotions.

AIM

To investigate the anxiety and depression status of mothers of children in the NICU and its related factors.

METHODS

A convenient sampling method is adopted. The research objects included the mothers of 191 children in the NICU of Suzhou Ninth Hospital Affiliated with Suzhou University from January 2023 to July 2024. The general information questionnaire, personal control scale, self-rating anxiety scale, and self-rating depression scale were utilized for investigation. Anxiety and depression status in mothers of children in the NICU and its related factors were analyzed.

RESULTS

The incidences of maternal anxiety and depression among 191 hospitalized children in the NICU were 32.98% (63/191) and 23.56% (45/191), respectively. Single-factor analysis reveals that family monthly income, individual sense of control, gestational age of the child, and the number of diseases in the child are associated with the anxiety and depression experienced by the mother of the child in the NICU (P < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that family monthly income of < 5000 yuan (RMB), poor individual control, gestational age of < 32 weeks, and the number of diseases of ≥ 3 kinds are all related factors for anxiety and depression in mothers of children admitted to the NICU (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSION

Mothers of children admitted to the NICU demonstrated high anxiety and depression incidences. The nursing staff in the neonatal department established intervention measures for each related factor, strengthened communication and communication with the mother of the child, and did a good job in psychological counseling.
Advancing the diagnosis of major depressive disorder: Integrating neuroimaging and machine learning
Authors: Yin Shi-Qi , Li Ying-Huan
Published: February 2025

Major depressive disorder (MDD), a psychiatric disorder characterized by functional brain deficits, poses considerable diagnostic and treatment challenges, especially in adolescents owing to varying clinical presentations. Biomarkers hold substantial clinical potential in the field of mental health, enabling objective assessments of physiological and pathological states, facilitating early diagnosis, and enhancing clinical decision-making and patient outcomes. Recent breakthroughs combine neuroimaging with machine learning (ML) to distinguish brain activity patterns between MDD patients and healthy controls, paving the way for diagnostic support and personalized treatment. However, the accuracy of the results depends on the selection of neuroimaging features and algorithms. Ensuring privacy protection, ML model accuracy, and fostering trust are essential steps prior to clinical implementation. Future research should prioritize the establishment of comprehensive legal frameworks and regulatory mechanisms for using ML in MDD diagnosis while safeguarding patient privacy and rights. By doing so, we can advance accuracy and personalized care for MDD.

Authors: Wang Jing , Zhao Chen-Xi , Tian Jin , Li Yan-Ru , Ma Kai-Fang , Du Rui , Li Meng-Kun , Hu Rui
Published: February 2025

BACKGROUND

Effective health management for high-risk stroke populations is essential. The hospital-community-home (HCH) collaborative health management (CHM) model leverages resources from hospitals, communities, and families. By integrating patient information across these three domains, it facilitates the delivery of tailored guidance, health risk assessments, and three-in-one health education.

AIM

To explore the effects of the HCH-CHM model on stroke risk reduction in high-risk populations.

METHODS

In total, 110 high-risk stroke patients screened in the community from January 2019 to January 2023 were enrolled, with 52 patients in the control group receiving routine health education and 58 in the observation group receiving HCH-CHM model interventions based on routine health education. Stroke awareness scores, health behavior levels, medication adherence, blood pressure, serum biochemical markers (systolic/diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, and triglyceride), and psychological measures (self-rating anxiety/depression scale) were evaluated and compared between groups.

RESULTS

The observation group showed statistically significant improvements in stroke awareness scores and health behavior levels compared to the control group (P < 0.05), with notable enhancements in lifestyle and dietary habits (P < 0.05) and reductions in postintervention systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, triglyceride, self-rating anxiety scale, and self-rating depression scale scores (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSION

The HCH-CHM model had a significant positive effect on high-risk stroke populations, effectively increasing disease awareness, improving health behavior and medication adherence, and appropriately ameliorating blood pressure, serum biochemical marker levels, and negative psychological symptoms.
Therapeutic efficacy of transcranial direct current stimulation in treating auditory hallucinations in schizophrenia: A meta-analysis
Authors: Zou Shi-Jia , Shi Jin-Nan
Published: February 2025

BACKGROUND

Schizophrenia is a chronic psychiatric condition with complex symptomatology, including debilitating auditory hallucinations. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been explored as an adjunctive treatment to alleviate such symptoms.

AIM

To evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of tDCS in schizophrenia.

METHODS

Adhering to PRISMA guidelines, we systematically searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library on September 19, 2023, for randomized controlled trials examining the efficacy of tDCS in schizophrenia, with no language or time restrictions. We included studies that compared tDCS with a control condition and reported clinically relevant outcomes. Data extraction and quality assessments were performed by independent evaluators using the Cochrane Collaboration's risk of bias tool. Statistical heterogeneity was evaluated, and a random-effects model was applied due to moderate heterogeneity (I 2 = 41.3%).

RESULTS

Nine studies comprising 425 participants (tDCS group: 219, control group: 206) were included. The meta-analysis demonstrated a significant reduction in auditory hallucination scores following tDCS treatment (weighted mean difference: -2.18, 95% confidence interval: -4.0 to -0.29, P < 0.01). Sensitivity analysis confirmed the robustness of the results, with no significant influence from individual studies. Additionally, publication bias was not detected, supporting the reliability and generalizability of the findings. These results underscore the efficacy of tDCS as a therapeutic intervention for auditory hallucinations in schizophrenia.

CONCLUSION

tDCS significantly reduces auditory hallucinations in schizophrenia, suggesting its potential as an effective adjunctive treatment for managing this disabling symptom. The findings highlight the practical significance of tDCS in clinical settings, particularly for patients with treatment-resistant auditory hallucinations.
Effects of ADIET communication and delivery rehearsal on anxiety, labor process, and outcomes in vaginal trial delivery
Authors: Liu Ling-Mei , He Hao-Yu , Lu Jing-Xian
Published: February 2025

BACKGROUND

In recent years, the obstetrics department has advocated vaginal delivery to reduce the rate of cesarean sections. However, in clinical practice, pregnant women are prone to anxiety before childbirth, making it difficult to perform a vaginal trial delivery smoothly. The combined approach of ADIET communication and delivery rehearsal for vaginal trial delivery can provide a reference for reducing prenatal anxiety, shortening labor duration, facilitating a smooth delivery, and ensuring the safety of both mothers and babies.

AIM

To analyze the effect of AIDET communication combined with labor rehearsal on vaginal trial delivery.

METHODS

A study conducted between January 2023 and December 2023 included 200 vaginal trials. Women were randomly assigned to an observation group (100 women), which received ADIET communication plus delivery intervention, and a control group (100 women), which received routine communication plus delivery intervention. This study aimed to compare antenatal anxiety status as measured using the Maternal Anxiety Scale, labor duration, delivery efficacy as assessed using the simplified Chinese version of the Childbirth Self-Efficacy Inventory, and delivery outcomes.

RESULTS

After the intervention, the observation group had a lower Maternal Anxiety Scale score and higher Childbirth Self-Efficacy Inventory score (P < 0.05) than the control group (P < 0.05), whereas the observation group had higher natural delivery, cesarean delivery, vaginal delivery, and neonatal asphyxia rates (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSION

For women undergoing vaginal trial delivery, a combination of AIDET communication and delivery rehearsal can relieve prenatal anxiety, enhance delivery efficiency, shorten labor duration, and somewhat improve delivery outcomes.

Published: February 2025

—The fishery industry plays an important role in national economic development, providing livelihoods and nutritional resources to millions. This makes the ability to predict fish prices a crucial advantage for fishermen, consumers and stockholders to secure and prepare for any unexpected or undesirable fluctuations in the same. However, the complexity of determining the price of fish due to various factors such as weight, species, freshness, season, and market conditions poses a challenge to both fishermen and consumers.

This paper explores machine learning (ML) approaches for fish price prediction and proposes a hybrid framework that integrates variational mode decomposition (VMD), single spectrum analysis (SSA), improved beetle antennae search (IBES), long short-term memory (LSTM) and extreme gradient boost (XGBoost) to improve prediction accuracy. We employ data set-tuning techniques to minimize underfitting and overfitting, ensuring optimal model performance. The study focuses on the Konkan region, a crucial segment of India’s western coastline that includes the states of Goa and Maharashtra, analyzing a data set containing more than 130 species of seafood.

Our system is designed for dual use, allowing fishermen to input catch data and customers to track price trends, providing both parties with information on market fluctuations. Additionally, the website serves as a tool for researchers and policymakers, enabling the collection and analysis of critical data.

This contributes to broader studies on the socio-economic and dietary impacts of fish consumption, helping to understand the intricate economic trends within the fishery sector and its contribution to sustainable development. Through data visualization, users can grasp trends at a glance, making it an essential tool for economic decision-making in the fishery industry.

Coffee is deeply embedded in global culture, serving as a daily essential for millions. In India, particularly in Karnataka, coffee holds immense economic and cultural importance, with the state contributing nearly 70% of India’s coffee production (Chakravarty, 2020). Coorg and Chikmagalur remain the primary coffee-growing regions, renowned for their high-quality beans. While traditional filter coffee remains a staple, changing consumer lifestyles have led to a surge in demand for instant and portable coffee solutions, particularly among urban youth and working professionals who seek convenience without compromising on taste.

To address this evolving demand, Coffee Cube was developed as an innovative ready-to-use coffee solution. The cube format integrates instant coffee, milk powder, and sugar, allowing consumers to prepare a well-balanced cup of coffee in seconds by simply adding hot water. This concept emerged from a Project-Centric Learning (PCL) initiative, aiming to bridge the gap between traditional coffee preparation and modern convenience. This case study explores the development process, challenges faced, consumer insights, and future prospects of the Coffee Cube.
Fake Money Detection using Machine Learning
Authors:   Assistant Professor, Department of Computer Applications, Nehru College of Management, Coimbatore, Tamilnadu, India,, HAMEED SAHUL
Published: February 2025

Our nation's most valuable asset is bank currency, and in order to cause financial inconsistencies, counterfeit notes that seem like the real thing are introduced into the financial market.  A significant amount of counterfeit money was observed to be floating on the market during the demonetization period. Because many characteristics of a forged note are identical to those of an original, it is generally exceedingly difficult for a human to distinguish a forged note from a genuine one using the numerous factors intended for identification. It is difficult to distinguish between authentic and counterfeit banknotes. Therefore, an automated system must be provided in ATMs or banks. An effective algorithm that can determine if a banknote is authentic or counterfeit must be created in order to create such an automated system, since counterfeit notes are quite precisely manufactured. In order to detect bank cash authenticity, we use the CNN method in this research on datasets that are accessible through the UCI machine learning repository. We have used machine learning methods to accomplish this, and their performance is evaluated using a variety of quantitative analysis parameters.

Keywords: counterfeit currency, fake money detection, machine learning, image processing, Convolutional Neural Networks, Support Vector Machines, automated systems.

Published: February 2025

The objective of this article is to develop a causal relationship factor model affecting entrepreneurial behavior for sustainable development using a mixed-methods research approach that integrated both quantitative and qualitative methodologies. The quantitative phase involved testing the causal relationships affecting entrepreneurial behavior by collecting data through questionnaires from 327 university students in Bangkok. This was followed by a qualitative phase, which included conducting in-depth interviews with 17 university students in Bangkok. The quantitative research results indicated that a causal relationship factor model affecting entrepreneurial behavior for sustainable development was congruent with the empirical data (Chi-Square = 48.017, df = 35, p = .070, CMIN/DF = 1.372, RMSEA = .034, CFI = .975, GFI = .975, AGFI = .945, NFI = .918, RMR = .013). Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) has allowed us to examine the hypothesized relationships among the independent, mediators, and dependent variables. The empirical result, a testament to the robustness of our research, illustrates that entrepreneurship education had a positive relationship with and influenced both entrepreneurial mindset and orientation. Similarly, entrepreneurial orientation demonstrated a positive relationship with and influenced entrepreneurial intention, and entrepreneurial intention had a positive relationship with and influenced entrepreneurial behavior. The qualitative research results indicated that entrepreneurship education is essential for sustainable entrepreneurship, influencing the entrepreneur’s mindset, orientation, intention, and behavior. Overall, the findings from the qualitative research effectively explained, confirmed, and expanded upon the quantitative research results, providing greater clarity and completeness to the study’s outcomes.

Published: February 2025

O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar os conceitos de educação integral e educação em tempo integral, destacando suas diferenças e implicações para a prática educacional no contexto brasileiro. A pesquisa parte da relevância histórica do Manifesto dos Pioneiros da Educação Nova (1932), que propôs uma educação pública, gratuita, laica e universal, com foco na formação integral do indivíduo. A justificativa para o estudo reside na necessidade de compreender e aprimorar as práticas educacionais que visam o desenvolvimento pleno dos estudantes, especialmente em um cenário marcado por desigualdades sociais e educacionais. Os objetivos da pesquisa incluem: (1) analisar os conceitos de educação integral e educação em tempo integral; (2) historicizar a trajetória da educação integral no Brasil; (3) discutir as políticas públicas recentes relacionadas ao tema; e (4) propor reflexões para a implementação de uma educação integral de qualidade. A metodologia empregada é a revisão bibliográfica, com base em fontes como artigos acadêmicos, livros, legislações e documentos históricos. Os resultados evidenciam que, embora a educação integral tenha avançado como proposta pedagógica e política pública, sua implementação ainda enfrenta desafios estruturais e culturais. A conclusão aponta para a necessidade de um compromisso coletivo com a educação integral, que transcenda os muros da escola e promova o desenvolvimento pleno dos estudantes, contribuindo para a redução das desigualdades sociais. Este estudo busca, portanto, oferecer subsídios teóricos e práticos para a construção de um sistema educacional mais justo e inclusivo.

Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy is widely recognized as the gold standard technique for biliary reconstruction following resection of Klatskin tumors, a rare and aggressive malignancy affecting the confluence of the right and left hepatic ducts. Due to late diagnosis and surgical complexity, a multidisciplinary approach is essential to improve clinical outcomes. This study presents a technical and quantitative analysis of Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy in the treatment of Klatskin tumors, focusing on aspects such as survival rates, postoperative complications, operative time, and associated morbidity. A comprehensive review was conducted in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Scopus databases, covering publications from 2014 to 2025. The search terms used included "Roux-en-Y Hepaticojejunostomy," "Klatskin Tumor," "Biliary Reconstruction," and "Cholangiocarcinoma Surgery." Of the 49 initially identified studies, 15 met the inclusion criteria. The results demonstrate that the technique remains effective in restoring bile flow, with survival rates of 78.9% at one year and 32.8% at three years (Yang et al., 2020), although challenges such as anastomotic strictures and bile leaks persist. Minimally invasive approaches, such as robotic-assisted surgery, have shown potential benefits in reducing complications and operative time, with an average duration of 240 minutes and blood loss of 75 ml (Sucandy et al., 2021). Despite advancements, complications such as infections and local recurrences continue to pose significant challenges, emphasizing the need for rigorous follow-up and ongoing refinements in surgical techniques.

O estudo tem como objetivo relatar a experiência de acadêmicos de enfermagem na elaboração de uma tecnologia assistencial para prevenção de lesão por pressão para promoção da equidade em sala vermelha de uma Unidade de Pronto Atendimento. Trata-se de um relato de experiência, descritivo, com modo de abordagem do tipo qualitativo, que relata a experiência de acadêmicos de enfermagem na elaboração de uma tecnologia assistencial para promover a prevenção de lesão por pressão. Para guiar a atividade proposta, utilizou-se o Arco da Maguerez, uma metodologia ativa, estrutura em etapas interativas que incluem a observação da realidade, identificação de pontos-chaves, a teorização, elaboração de soluções práticas e aplicação à realidade. No processo de planejamento da intervenção, os discentes precisaram analisar a dinâmica da sala vermelha, com isso, constatou-se que determinados pacientes permaneciam internados na unidade por mais de 24 horas, chegando a permanecer no local por uma semana. Nesse contexto, buscou-se a elaboração de medidas de cuidado relativamente simples, como a mudança de decúbito para evitar as complicações relacionadas as lesões por pressão. Visando essa demanda, foi desenvolvido um relógio de mudanças de posições para reposicionar pacientes em risco de lesões por pressão e uma cartilha com informações importantes sobre a temática. Dessa forma, reforça-se a relevância de implementar ações educativas contínuas nas Unidades de Pronto Atendimento, visando não apenas a segurança do paciente, mas também o fortalecimento das competências das equipes de enfermagem.

Introdução: O Acidente Vascular Encefálico (AVE) é a maior causa de deficiência em adultos, tendo como característica principal a hemiparesia. Sua incidência cresce de acordo com a idade e tende a aumentar com o envelhecimento populacional. Compromete aspectos psicossociais por conta dos déficits funcionais e da baixa resistência à atividade física, que tornam o indivíduo inativo e isolado socialmente. Objetivo: Descrever a percepção da qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde (QVRS) de indivíduos hemiparéticos crônicos em resposta a um programa de condicionamento físico.  Método: Estudo experimental analítico, com participação de 10 indivíduos hemiparéticos de ambos os sexos, com idades entre 40 e 74 anos, submetidos a um programa de treinamento em esteira e exercícios de fortalecimento muscular, em sessões de 80 minutos, realizadas 3 vezes por semana durante 4 meses, avaliados por meio do questionário Perfil de Saúde de Nottingham (PSN), com reavaliação após o período de 1 ano do término das atividades (follow-up). Na análise estatística foram utilizados ANOVA fator duplo sem repetição e Teste T (pareado) com α = 0,05. Resultados: Foram observadas melhoras significantes na QVRS dos participantes após o programa de treinamento, com aumento de 17,59% na pontuação total do PSN e nos domínios Habilidades Físicas com 28,57% e Nível de Energia 36,96% (p<0,05). Não houve perdas significativas em nenhuma das medidas durante o período de follow-up. Conclusão: Os resultados encontrados sugerem que o treinamento em esteira, associado ao fortalecimento muscular, por meio de ganhos na capacidade funcional e consequentemente nas rotinas diárias, pode melhorar a percepção dos indivíduos quanto à QVRS e que essa percepção pode perdurar após o término do programa.

A co-inoculação de bactérias promotoras de crescimento vegetal (BPCV) tem se destacado como uma estratégia sustentável para aumentar a produtividade da soja, reduzindo a dependência de fertilizantes químicos. Este estudo avaliou os efeitos da co-inoculação de Pseudomonas fluorescens e Azospirillum brasilense, em associação com Bradyrhizobium japonicum, via sementes, na cultura da soja. O experimento foi conduzido em quatro localidades. Os tratamentos consistiram em diferentes doses de fertilização fosfatada e inoculação de microrganismos, sendo T1- Controle (sem adubação e sem inoculação); T2- 50% de adubação e sem inoculação; T3- 100% de adubação e sem inoculação; T4- 50% de adubação + inoculação CROPBIO PHOS, 100 mL 50 kg-1 de sementes; T5- 50% de adubação + IPLGR15, 50 mL 50 kg-1 de sementes; T6- 50% de adubação + GRAP NOD AL, 50 mL 50 kg-1 de sementes; T7- 50% de adubação +  GRAP NOD PHOS, 50 mL 50 kg-1 de sementes; T8- 50% de adubação + GRAP NOD PHOS, 100 mL 50 kg-1 de sementes; T9- 50% de adubação + GRAP NOD PHOS, 150 mL 50 kg-1 de sementes; e T10- 50% de adubação +  GRAP NOD PHOS, 200 mL 50 kg-1 de sementes. Foram analisadas altura de plantas, diâmetro do caule e massa seca das raízes; características nutricionais, como teores de nitrogênio, fósforo e potássio em folhas e grãos; e produtividade. A co-inoculação de B. japonicum com inoculante contendo A. brasilense + P. fluorescens, aumentou a nodulação, o crescimento das plantas e a absorção de nutrientes, especialmente com doses reduzidas de fósforo.
