Published: December 2020

Background: Exosomes are membrane-bound extracellular vesicles of 40–150 nm in size, that are produced by many cell types, and play an important role in the maintenance of cellular homeostasis. Exosome secretion allows for the selective removal of harmful substances from cells. However, it remains unclear whether this process also takes place in glioma cells.Methods: Herein, the role of the tumour-suppressor miR-375 was explored in human glioma cells. Immunoblotting and qRT-PCR experiments demonstrated a functional link between miR-375 and its target, connective tissue growth factor (CTGF), which led to the identification of the underlying molecular pathways. The exosomes secreted by glioma cells were extracted by ultracentrifugation and examined by transmission electron microscopy. Exosomal expression of miR-375 was then analysed by qRT-PCR; while the exosome secretion inhibitor, GW4869, was used to examine the biological significance of miR-375 release. Moreover, the dynamics of miR-375 release by glioma cells was investigated using fluorescently labelled exosomes. Finally, exosomal miR-375 release was examined in an orthotopic xenograft model in nude mice.Results: MiR-375 expression was downregulated in gliomas. MiR-375 suppressed glioma proliferation, migration, and invasion by inhibiting the CTGF-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signalling pathway. MiR-375-containing exosomes were also identified in human peripheral blood samples from glioma patients, and their level correlated with disease progression status. Exosomal miR-375 secretion impacted the CTGF-EGFR pathway activity. Once secreted, exosomal miR-375 was not taken back up by glioma cells.Conclusions: Exosomal miR-375 secretion allowed for sustained activation of the CTGF-EGFR oncogenic pathway, promoting the proliferation and invasion of glioma cells. These findings enhance our understanding of exosome biology and may inspire development of new glioma therapies.

Published: December 2020

La publicidad política se ha configurado en un campo de alto interés para los científicos sociales. El propósito de este documento es analizar la literatura desarrollada alrededor del tema, identificando la tendencia de crecimiento en el tiempo, autores relevantes, regiones donde se ha estudiado mayoritariamente el concepto, características fundamentales de la publicidad política y finalmente, líneas futuras de investigación. En la investigación se emplea un análisis bibliométrico de 295 manuscritos extraídos de Web of Science. Los resultados sugieren que el campo de la publicidad política viene creciendo en los últimos cinco años; sin embargo, en Latinoamérica la producción académica es escasa. Se evidencia que los tópicos de mayor interés han girado en torno al papel que juega la publicidad política en impulsar candidatos y partidos, los efectos de los anuncios sobre el electorado y la influencia de la publicidad agresiva o negativa.
Advances in Stem Cell Therapy for Brain Diseases via the Intranasal Route
Authors: Dali Preeti , Shende Pravin
Published: December 2020

Stem cell therapy efficiently targets the brain for most neurological disorders like migraine,
Parkinsonism, schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s disease, and brain injury. The major obstacles in
potential brain targeting are the physiological barriers like blood-brain-barrier and bloodcerebrospinal
fluid barrier. The conventional injectable route or direct transplantation of stem cells
results in brain injury and is less feasible clinically. The alternative to these invasive routes is the
intranasal route that is non-invasive, easily repeatable technique and highly effective in brain targeting
without crossing the blood-brain barrier. Extensive research has been undertaken for the delivery
of stem cells to the brain via the intranasal route that holds great potential in overcoming the existing
barriers. Nanotechnology is emerging as a novel interdisciplinary field in the arena of stem
cell research. The combination of nanotechnology coupled with stem cell therapy has led to synergistic
outcomes in diagnostic and therapeutic applications of neurological diseases. This review
provides insights into stem cell-based nanotherapy for brain targeting via the intranasal route.
The Extent of Capacity Loss Caused by Rainfall at Signalised Intersections
Authors: Oyaro J. , Ben-Edigbe J.
Published: December 2020

Background:

Even though their physical characteristics exert a constant influence on capacity and saturation flows, signalized intersections are fixed facilities not affected by rainfall. Whilst traffic conditions with varying effects can be regulated, rainfall conditions cannot be regulated but compensated for by warning drivers to reduce speed. Speed reduction has an impact on signalised intersection capacity, whilst signalised intersection capacity is a function of saturation flow, effective green, and cycle time. In this paper, a capacity loss is the differential percentage between ‘with and without’ rainfall scenario.

Aim:

The paper investigated the extent of capacity loss caused by rainfall at signalised intersections.

Methods:

In Durban, South Africa, rainfall data were collected, collated, and correlated with traffic data in a 'with and without' rainfall intensity study. Rainfall intensity was classified according to the rate of precipitation as follows; rainfall intensity(i): light rain (i <2.5mm/h); Moderate rain (2.5mm/h ≤ i < 10mm/h), and heavy rain (10 ≤ i ≤ 50mm/h) as prescribed by the World Meteorological Society.

Results:

Empirical results show that rainfall intensity has an effect on road capacity at a signalised intersection. Generally, for the vehicles going straight, light rain caused a 4.25% capacity loss; moderate rain 9.18% while heavy rain caused an 11.53% capacity reduction. With right-turning vehicles, light rain caused 7.38% capacity loss; moderate rain caused 14.3%, while heavy rain accounted for 19.15% capacity reduction.

Conclusion:

The paper concluded that rainfall at signalised intersections would cause an anomalous capacity reduction. Since the database for the study is small, the paper advocates for further studies based on a broader database to include yellow interval time.

Authors: Kompalli Prasanna Lakshmi , Vallakati Padma , Nadimpalli Ganapathi Raju , Jain Vinod Mahesh , Annepogu Samuel
Published: December 2020

Background:

Road accidents are a major cause of deaths worldwide. This is enormously
due to fatigue, drowsiness, and microsleep of the drivers. This does not just risk the life
of the driver and co-passengers but also a great threat to the vehicles and humans moving
around that vehicle.

Methods:

Research, online content, and previously published papers related to drowsiness are
reviewed. Using the facial landmarks in DAT file, the prototype locates and identifies the eye
coordinates, and then calculates Eye Aspect Ratio (EAR). The EAR indicates whether the driver
is drowsy or not based on the result of various sensors that get activated, such as an alarm generator,
LED indicators, LCD message scroll, message sent to the owner, and the engine that gets
locked.

Results:

The prototype is able to locate eyes in the frame and detect whether the person is
sleepy or not. Whenever the person is feeling drowsy, an alarm is generated in the cabinet, and
afterward , LED indicators will start glowing, messaging will be scrolling at the rear part of the
vehicle so that other vehicles and humans get cautioned. After this, the vehicle slows down, and
the engine gets locked.

Conclusion:

This prototype will help in the reduction of road accidents due to human intervention.
It is not only helpful to the person who installs it in their vehicle but also for the other vehicles
and humans moving around it.

Published: December 2020

Modern application of chemical plant protection products and liquid mineral fertilizers requires a comprehensive approach in compliance with all agricultural standards. Under-watering or overdosing of the introduced fertilizers can adversely affect the yield. Sprayers used on agricultural machines must be carefully selected and tested. (Research purpose) The research purpose is in analyzing the features of testing sprayers used on agricultural machines. (Materials and methods) The article presents reviewed data on the use of various methods of sprayer testing. Authors studied open sources as research materials and conducted a comparative analysis of the information. (Results and discussion) The article describes successive stages and test methods. The initial stage of testing sprayers is to determine the size (diameter) of drops at a certain pressure (1.5-3 bar) of the pump system. The liquid demolition directly depends on the size of the drop. Authors used the method of distribution of the solution into measuring cups on specialized test benches to determine the discharge rate. The article presents an example of the resulting table for testing sprayers.
Yrkesetik i lärarutbildning
Authors: Cronqvist Marita
Published: December 2020

Teaching is an ethical activity and in order to ensure a high quality in teaching, ethics need to be visualized and verbalized. In a phenomenological empirical study with student teachers as participants, data were analyzed in order to express the essential meanings of professional ethics. The essence can be described as the meanings that in spite of different contexts are relatively persistent. In phenomenology, the possibility of expressing the essence of a phenomenon is interpreted in different ways. In this article, the author argues that the essence is needed to verbalize ethics in teaching tentatively as a kind of ethical code or guideline for becoming teachers. Some of the essential findings stemming from the empirical study mentioned above are compared with the ethical principles formulated in Lärares Yrkesetiska Principer (2001) by the two Swedish unions, Lärarförbundet and Lärarnas Riksförbund, to argue for the importance of formulating the essence.

The ultimate strength of concrete-filled composite columns
Authors: Kwon Young Bong , Kim Jae Hee
Published: December 2020

The concrete-filled composite member has been used as a building column and bridge pier owing to the enhancement of strength, stiffness and ductility due to mutual confinement between the steel skin and the filled-in concrete. A series of compression tests of circular hollow steel sections and concrete-filled circular steel composite sections were conducted. The diameter-thickness ratio of the test specimens ranged from 45-140 to study the effect of local buckling of the circular steel skin, while the test results for the rectangular composite section were referenced for comparison. An ultimate strength formula for the steel skin was developed to account for the post-local-buckling strength reserve. The strength of the filled-in concrete strength was proposed to account for the strength ratio of steel skin to filled-in concrete instead of 0.85 Fc or 1.0 Fc for the filled-in concrete, and cross section shape, which consequently can consider the increase of filled-in concrete due to the confining effect of steel skin against the outward deformation of the concrete. The ultimate strength of the composite columns was predicted by a kind of direct strength method which was first adopted by the NAS (AISI, 2004) to be applied for the cold-formed steel sections. The proposed direct strength method does not need computing the effective area of the steel skin and uses the gross area of the steel skin and the design strength formula based on the various test results. The direct strength method proposed was compared with the test results for verification.
Experimental Study on Flexural Behavior of Concrete Filled Steel Tube Girder Bridges
Authors: Chin Won Jong , Kang Jae Yoon , Choi Eun Suk , Lee Jung Woo , Kim Byung Suk
Published: December 2020

Concrete Filled Steel Tube (CFT) is a structure in which the steel tube is filled with concrete material. Such structure enables to achieve mechanical effects like increased bearing capacity and improved deformability compared to single steel tube structure or RC structure presenting the same section. Even if CFT structure has been developed to improve the ductility and bearing capacity of columns receiving mainly axial compressive forces in buildings, its applicability as flexural member like bridge girder is evaluated regard to its remarkable bearing capacity, excellent deformability (ductility), inhibition of noise and vibration. This study intends to develop a new steel composite bridge structure using the CFT member as girder. Accordingly, the results of member and full-scale bending tests performed on a CFT girder-slab composite section in order to assess the flexural behavior of the CFT member are presented. Specimens were manufactured considering several parameters such as the strength of filling material, the eventual presence and number of inner shear connectors to evaluate the bending bearing capacity of CFT member. The specimen filled by lightweight and low strength air-mortar with compressive strength of 8 MPa exhibited strength increased by about 20% compared to hollow steel tube, and the introduction of ┐-shaped perfobond rib inside the tube to improve the composite effect increased the strength by 50%. Moreover, the filling of the steel tube augmented significantly the flexural strength and ductility compared to the hollow tube, which showed that the confinement effect of the tube supplemented the brittleness of concrete. The adoption of inner shear connector prevented sliding at the interface between the filling material and the tube, and allowed the section to behave as a composite section. The stiffening effect of the ┐-shaped perfobond rib is seen to contribute relatively to the increase of the bending bearing capacity.

The role of polar organic components in dynamic crude oil adsorption on sandstones and carbonates
Authors: Piñerez Torrijos Iván Darío , Mamonov Aleksandr , Strand Skule , Puntervold Tina
Published: December 2020

An appropriated wettability characterization is crucial for the successful implementation of waterflooding operations. Understanding how crude oil adsorption takes place on different mineral surfaces and how these processes impact reservoir wettability are essential aspects that can help unlock and produce large underground oil reserves.

Polar organic components (POC) present in crude oil are surface-active molecules with high affinity towards mineral surfaces. POCs are quantified by the acid and base numbers (AN and BN) with units of mgKOH/g. The POC adsorption behavior is highly influenced by the type of minerals and brines present in the reservoir system.

This study aims to shed light onto the most important features of oil adsorption on carbonates and sandstones mineral surfaces; particular attention is given to the role of acidic components. Therefore, outcrop sandstone and carbonate materials were used. The sandstone material contains various silicates, including quartz, Illite clay, and feldspars. The carbonate outcrop material came from the Stevns Klint quarry in Denmark and is considered a very pure calcium carbonate with minimum silicate impurities.

Dynamic adsorption tests were performed at 50°C by injecting low asphaltene crude oils into core plugs, and AN and BN values of the effluent oil samples were measured and compared with the influent oil values. Furthermore, spontaneous imbibition (SI) tests were performed to assess the wettability impact of crude oil injection in oil flooded cores.

The results showed that after crude oil injection, the cores became mix-wet. Confirmation of a reduction in capillary forces and a shift towards a less water-wet state was reported for both mineralogies, i.e., sandstones and carbonates. The acidic polar components had a substantial impact on carbonates wettability, while on sandstones, the experiments suggested that acidic polar components had a lower impact on wettability than that observed in the basic polar components.
Teoria politica e scrittura storiografica nei ‘libri imperiali’ della Storia Romana di Cassio Dione
Authors: Bono Martina
Published: December 2020

This paper investigates to what extent the emergence of the princeps shapes Dio’s narrative. The best fitting passages for investigating this topic are the so called “anectodical-biographical sections”, which cannot be utterly dismissed as pieces of imperial biography: it would be better to consider those sections as devoted to the evaluation of the emperor’s praxis of government on a very concrete (rather that moralistic) ground. These narrative proceedings betray the existence of a well-structured framework lying beneath the work’s building in terms of political thought. In fact, Dio develops a consistent perspective about the relationship he expected between the princeps and the senate, fashioned, to my mind, by the princeps civilis model. This paradigm is sustained by a very classical political theory, although remoulded: the ‘mixed constitution’ theory.
Δημοκρατεῖσθαι or μοναρχεῖσθαι, That is the Question: Cassius Dio and the Senatorial Principate
Authors: Pistellato Antonio
Published: December 2020

Cassius Dio’s account of Caligula’s principate pivots on the divide between Caligula’s ‘democratic’ debut and his later decline into despotism. As Dio reports, the murder of the emperor in 41 CE polarised the Senate on the question of whether to abolish the Principate or to confirm it. It is likely that Dio’s interest in such a crucial passage depends on his own experience of the end of Commodus and the accession of Pertinax in 192-193 CE. The underpinning of his political thought is Stoic: when the relationship between the princeps and the Senate collapses, the solution is not so much ‘republicanism’ as a ‘republican spirit’, to be intended as a fruitful cooperation between the two.

Authors: Khademi Mohammadali , Ferrao Paulo , Saragas Nikiforos
Published: December 2020

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine patient satisfaction, survivorship, and revision rate of the HINTEGRA total ankle arthroplasty (TAA). Our secondary objective was to assess hindfoot function. Methods: All patients who underwent a HINTEGRA TAA between 2007 and 2014 were evaluated. We included a total of 69 patients (69 ankles), who were subjected to clinical and radiological examination and completed a visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain, the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle score, and the self-reported foot and ankle score (SEFAS). Hindfoot function was assessed using the AOFAS hindfoot score. Mean follow-up was 62 (57–101) months. Results: The mean VAS score was 2 (0–3) and the SEFAS was 37 (26–48) at the most recent follow-up, while the AOFAS ankle score improved from 57 (52–62) to 87 (82–93). The AOFAS hindfoot score improved from 82 to 92 postoperatively. Eight patients had periprosthetic osteolysis and 5 underwent bone grafting of cysts. We detected polyethylene and hydroxyapatite particles in specimens obtained from the cysts. Eight patients had their procedures converted to an ankle arthrodesis. Conclusion: In select patients, TAA improved quality of life. Our medium-term follow-up of the HINTEGRA TAA observed a survivorship of 89% at 5 years with an improvement in the AOFAS score and a mean SEFAS score of 37. We recommend that large periprosthetic cysts, which may be caused by the hydroxyapatite coating and polyethylene particles, be bone grafted prophylactically. We found hindfoot function to be preserved. Level of Evidence IV; Therapeutic Studies; Case Series.

Published: December 2020

Desde el año 2000, y con una periodicidad de tres años, la Organización para la Cooperación y Desarrollo Económico, viene aplicando el Programa Internacional para la Evaluación de los Estudiantes, con el objetivo de evaluar sus competencias en las áreas de lectura, matemáticas y ciencias, para determinar qué tan preparados están para su vida futura. El presente artículo identifica los factores que indicen en la adquisición de competencias en América Latina. Para este propósito, se emplea la información de los ocho países latinoamericanos participantes en el Programa Internacional para la Evaluación de Estudiantes 2012. Como la base en mención contiene datos faltantes, se aplicó el método de imputación no paramétrico hot-deck. A partir del modelo lineal jerárquico con predictores aleatorios, en dos niveles, se determinó para los países estudiados, en las tres áreas evaluadas, que la variabilidad en la adquisición de competencias es explicada en menor proporción, por la heterogeneidad en las características de los estudiantes. Además, se encontró que los principales condicionantes del desempeño escolar son el género, la condición de no repetidor y la calidad de los materiales educativos. Finalmente, se estimó que los centros privados tuvieron un mejor desempeño que los públicos, donde Brasil, Costa Rica y Uruguay fueron los países con mayor desigualdad educativa

Published: December 2020

La resiliencia se convierte en una estrategia relevante para las transformaciones que urgen en las organizaciones, particularmente las financieras. El presente artículo tiene como objetivo realizar una aproximación teórica de la resiliencia en las organizaciones financieras. Se realizó un trabajo teórico descriptivo-documental, basado en la revisión de documentos y material bibliográfico. Los resultados dan cuenta por un lado que, la resiliencia es un factor que permite mantener el control de los desequilibrios del contexto, asimismo, los medios usados buscan generar capacidad institucional y emocional para enfrentar los riesgos que impliquen una amenaza al normal desenvolvimiento de dichas organizaciones; y, por otro lado, las organizaciones financieras están en constante cambio generados por elementos internos y externos de la gestión. Se concluye que, la resiliencia fortalece y aumenta las capacidades de las organizaciones financieras para predecir los factores externos e internos que las afectan y que en muchos casos escapan de su gobernabilidad.

Implementation and Protection of the Child’s Right to Education
Authors: Kraljić Suzana
Published: December 2020

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child was adopted in 1989, becoming the first international binding instrument to explicitly recognise children as human beings with innate rights. The Convention on the Rights of the Child sets out children's rights across all areas of their lives, including education. Given that education is crucial for the short-, medium- and long-run well-being of every child, the main stress is on implementing and protecting this right in important international human and children's rights treaties. The author highlights problems arising from selected cases of infringements of children’s right to education, especially in ECtHR decisions. In the last section, attention is paid to the COVID-19 crisis and its impact on children's right to education.

The FAA allows small (under 55 pounds) unmanned aircraft operated solely for hobby and recreational purposes to be flown under the rules and restrictions outlined in Section 336 of the FAA Modernization and Reform act of 2012 (Public Law 11295). Currently, the FAA considers the use of an unmanned aircraft for educational or training purposes to be commercial in nature.

Below, we provide step-by-step guidance for operating an UAV for commercial (or research) purpose.

Published: December 2020

Bu çalışmada süt hayvancılığı yapılan çiftliklerde kullanılan aydınlatma seviyelerinin uygunluğu ve ölçüm değerlerinin uluslararası standartlarla karşılaştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Çalışma Çanakkale il sınırları içerisinde bulunan bir tanesi serbest duraklı sistemli, sağım hane doğumhane, revir gibi bölümleri bulunan modern bir hayvancılık işletmesinde diğeri ise daha çok geleneksel yöntemlerle faaliyetlerini devam ettiren bağlı duraklı sistem olan daha ilkel bir süt çiftliğinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışma esnasında işletmelerin farklı bölümlerinde beş farklı noktadan ölçümler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu ölçümler, aydınlatma düzeyinin incelenmesi açısından günün farklı zaman dilimlerinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Gündüz yapay aydınlatmanın olmadığı A çiftliğinde saat 10:30 da B çiftliğinde ise saat 13:00 te ölçümler elde edilmiştir. Yapay aydınlatmanın kullanıldığı saatlerde ise A çiftliğinde saat 20:30, B çiftliğinde ise saat 22:00 de ölçümler alınmıştır. Her iki tesis içinde elde edilen veriler aynı gün içerisinde alınmıştır. Yapılan ölçümler sonucunda yapay aydınlatmanın kullanıldığı saatlerde her iki işletmeninde bazı bölümlerinde standarttın üzerinde aydınlatma enerjisi kullanıldığı, bazı bölümlerinde ise yetersiz aydınlatmanın kullanıldığı gözlenmiştir. ASAE standardına göre 500 lüx olması gereken aydınlanma seviyesi, A çiftliğinin sağımhane çukurunda ortala olarak 1151,2 lüx olarak bulunmuştur. Geleneksel yöntemle üretim gerçekleştirilen B çiftliğinde ise bu değer 4.6 lüx olarak bulunmuştur. Oysaki ASAE standardı geleneksel çiftlikler için 200 lüx olarak belirlenmiştir. Sonuçlardan görüldüğü üzere A çiftliğinde aydınlanma seviyesinin standardın çok çok üzerinde olduğu, B çiftliğinde ise standardın çok altında olduğu görülmektedir. Bu nedenle A çiftliğinde aydınlatma armatürlerinin azaltılması, B çiftliğinde ise arttırılması gerektiği ortaya konarak ilgili çiftlik yöneticileri bu konuda bilgilendirilmiştir.

Published: December 2020

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Bingöl ili kent merkezinde ailelerin açık süt tüketim durumunu ortaya koyarak, açık süt tüketim tercihlerini belirlemek ve bu tercihleri etkileyen sosyo-ekonomik ve demografik faktörleri saptamaktır. Çalışmanın birincil verilerini Bingöl kent merkezindeki tüketicilerden 2018 yılında yüz yüze elde edilen anket verileri oluşturmaktadır. Araştırma bulgularına göre; tüketicilerin %68,2’sinin açık süt tükettiği belirlenmiştir. Anket yapılan tüketicilerin aylık gıda harcaması ortalama 1047,30 TL, aylık açık süt tüketim miktarı ortalama 14,24 kg ve aylık açık süt tüketim harcaması ise ortalama 31,67 TL olarak belirlenmiştir. Yıllık açık süt tüketimi 170,88 lt, açık süt tüketim harcaması ise 380,04 TL olarak hesaplanmıştır. Kişi başı yıllık açık süt tüketimi 38,31 lt, açık süt tüketim harcaması ise 85,21 TL olarak saptanmıştır. Anket yapılan tüketicilerin tamamının açık süt tüketimi ile ilgili olan faktörlerin hepsini önemli buldukları sonucuna varılmıştır. Sonuç olarak; Bingöl ilinin tarım ve hayvancılığa dayalı ekonomik yapısının iyileştirilmesi için tarımsal üretimde sanayileşme ile ilgili yapılacak çalışmalar süt üretim ve tüketim durumunun kayıt altına alınması için son derece önemlidir.

Published: December 2020

Introduction: Oral 5-phosphodiesterase inhibitors (PDE5-I) is the main therapeutical options in erectile dysfunction (ED). It shows good results, but non-responders lack other effective options and its effect is also not long lasting. Since last few years, low-intensity extracorporeal shockwave therapy (Li-ESWT) in the corpora cavernosa showing promising results. This article presents our early experiences in Advanced Center of Kidney disease and Urology (ACKU) with the aim to evaluate clinical efficacy of Li-ESWT.
Materials and methods: Thirty four patients with ED were prospectively included in the study during the period of January 2018 to Jun 2019.Treatment was performed using the PiezoWave2 (Richard Wolf, Germany) device with a linear probe. Treatment protocol included a weekly session for four weeks. Each session delivered 2000 shocks on the perineum plus 4000 shocks on dorsum penis with an energy flux density (EFD) of 0.160 mJ/mm2. Every patient has been re-evaluated 1.5 and 3 months after the last session. Pre- and post-procedure International Index Erectile Function – Erectile function domain (IIEF-EF) score, Erection Hardness Score (EHS) and Global Assessment Questionnaire-Question 1 (GAQ-Q1) answers were obtained.
Results: Mean age of the study population was 39.4 (±12.9) years, 35.29% diabetic, 20.59% with hypertension and 55.85% smokers. Mean baseline IIEF-EF was 14.6, at 6 week post LiSWT was 16.4 (p >0.05) and at 3 months post LiSWT was 19.2 (p < 0.05). EHS was significantly improved at 3 month in comparison to baseline (p<0.05). 20.59% patients answered positively to GAQ-Q1 at 6 week and 61.76% at 3 months. IIEF-EF score change of >5 and increase of EHS >2 were observed in 62.88% and 70.59% study subjects respectively.
Conclusions: Li-ESWT is a safe, harmless and repeatable treatment tool for ED with good outcomes reported.
