Published: February 2023

Background: In patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), drug eluting stents (DES) are currently the standard of care. Stent design and alloy composition, biocompatibility of the drug-eluting polymer coating, the antiproliferative agent properties and release are the three main characteristics that affects DES performance. Cre8 (Alvimedica, Istanbul, Turkey) is a polymer-free amphilimus-eluting stents (PF-AES). In this study, we aimed to investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of Cre8 DES in daily cardiology practice. Methods: Patients presenting with chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) or acute coronary syndrome (ACS) including unstable angina pectoris (USAP), myocardial infarction with and without ST-segment elevation and treated with PCI using Cre8 DES between December 2015 and 2016 were retrospectively analyzed in this study. Results: Between December 2015 and 2016, 808 lesions of 664 patients treated with Cre8 DES in a single center were included in this retrospective analysis. The mean age of study group was 60 years (between 33 and 93 years) and were predominantly consisting of male patients (79.4%). The median follow-up duration was 487 days (min: 30 days, max: 919 days) and two-thirds of all patients presented with ACS. The culprit lesion was on left anterior descending artery (LAD) (40.5%) and right coronary artery (RCA) (25.9%) in most of the patients. The procedural success rate was 97.3%. Most of the lesions were type B1 (40.6%) according to American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) coronary lesion classification. The device oriented primary end-point defined as target lesion failure (TLF) occurred in 52 (6.4%) of 808 lesions. The primary safety end-point was cardiac death in 20 patients (3.0%) and target vessel myocardial infarction in 2 patients (0.3%). Target vessel revascularization (TVR) occurred in 29 patients (4.4%) as primary safety endpoint. Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed diabetes mellitus and ejection fraction as the predictors of mortality and device oriented primary end-point. Conclusions: This trial revealed clinical efficacy and safety of Cre8 stents in real world practice. Device oriented primary end points were similar with previous studies which are randomized, open label in nature and showed the efficacy and safety of Cre8 stent towards latest generation DES.

Het zelfstandig vinden van de weg is een van de problemen waar veel mensen met een visuele beperking tegenaan lopen. Je kan natuurlijk een begeleider meenemen, of je weg uitstippelen met een navigatie-app op je telefoon, maar voor het zelfstandig vinden van de weg is het handig als je zelf een beetje in je hoofd hebt hoe je bepaalde routes moet lopen, of hoe je bepaalde plekken, binnen of buiten, kunt vinden. Onze hersenen zijn heel goed in het opslaan van informatie uit onze omgeving. Ze kunnen een soort mentaal kaartje vormen, dat ons kan helpen om de weg te vinden. In dit artikel wil ik informatie geven over zo’n mentaal kaartje bij personen met een visuele beperking (verder in dit artikel afgekort tot PVB), onderbouwd door wetenschappelijk onderzoek, en praktische tips die eventueel gebruikt kunnen worden bij oriëntatie- en mobiliteitstrainingen.

Schizophrenia is a group of psychotic reactions that affect different areas of an individual's functioning, including thinking, communicating, receiving, interpreting reality, feeling and showing emotions as well as brain disorders characterized by chaotic thoughts, thoughts, hallucinations, and strange behaviors. One of the negative symptoms in schizophrenia is low self-esteem. Low self-esteem is one of the maladative responses in the range of neurobiology responses. The process of low self-esteem in schizophrenic clients can be explained by analyzing predisposing stressors and predispositions that are biological, psychological, and socio-cultural in nature so as to produce a maladative response, namely low self-esteem behavior. The response to stressors in low self-esteem patients gives rise to responses cognitively, affectively, physiologically, behaviorally and socially. Roy's adaptation theory approach is used by the author because the application of interventions to this theory focuses on changing the stimulus experienced by the patient and not his patient, so that it is the nurse who improves the interaction between the human being and his environment, so that the patient can improve health, have the ability to adapt and create changes to his environment. The research method used was a case study using mental nursing care in Mr.M with rsj low self-esteem disorder. Prof. Dr. Muhammad Ildrem. The client's medical diagnosis is paranoid schizoprenia. Nursing diagnosis of auditory hallucinations, social isolation, and low self-esteem. The results of the analysis show that nursing interventions with implementation strategies can lower signs and symptoms in clients after being given nursing measures.

Published: February 2023

Information and decision support systems are essential to conducting field campaigns in the atmospheric sciences. However, their development is costly and time-consuming since each field campaign has its own research goals, which result in using an assortment of sensors and various analysis procedures. To reduce development costs, we present a software framework based on the Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT) and an implementation using well-established and newly developed open-source components. This framework architecture and components allow developers to customize the software to a campaign's specific needs while keeping the coding minimum. Using this framework, we developed an Information and decision support system for an indoor dispersion campaign.

Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: February 2023

Cancer is a leading cause of death and pancreatic cancer is among the most lethal cancers (1, 2). We mined published microarray datasets (3, 4) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the level of the transcriptome genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with pancreatic cancer, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). We found significant differential expression of the gene encoding family with sequence similarity 118 member B, FAM118B, when comparing pancreatic tumors to the tissue of origin, the pancreas. FAM118B mRNA was present at significantly higher quantities in tumors of the pancreas as compared to normal pancreatic tissue. FAM118B expression changes may be important for the initiation or progression of human PDAC.

Published: February 2023

Communicative gaze (e.g., mutual or averted) has been shown to affect attentional orienting. However, no study to date has clearly separated the neural basis of the pure social component that modulates attentional orienting in response to communicative gaze from other processes that might be a combination of attentional and social effects. We used Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) to isolate the purely social effects of communicative gaze on attentional orienting. Participants completed a gaze-cueing task with a humanoid robot who engaged either in mutual or in averted gaze prior to shifting its gaze. Before the task, participants received either Sham stimulation (baseline), stimulation of right temporoparietal junction (rTPJ) or dorso-medial prefrontal cortex (dmPFC). Results showed, as expected, that communicative gaze affected attentional orienting in baseline condition. This effect was not evident for rTPJ stimulation. Interestingly, stimulation to rTPJ also canceled out attentional orienting altogether. On the other hand, dmPFC stimulation eliminated the socially-driven difference in attention orienting between the two gaze conditions while maintaining the basic general attentional orienting effect. Thus, our results allowed for separation of the pure social effect of communicative gaze on attentional orienting from other processes that are a combination of social and generic attentional components.

Schizophrenia is a severe mental disorder that is chronic in nature which is characterized by communication disorders, reality disorders, risk of violent behavior, abnormal or blunted affect, impaired cognitive function and experiencing difficulties in carrying out daily activities. Predisposing factors that cause violent behavior include, namely, psychological, behavioral, socio-cultural, and bioneurological. As for the precipitation factor itself, it can come from clients/patients, the environment and interactions with other people. The causes of violent behavior include physical weakness (physical illness), hopelessness, helplessness, and lack of self-confidence. For other causes of violent behavior, such as environmental situations that are used to noise, crowds, proactive social interaction, criticism that leads to humiliation, and loss of loved ones (jobs), patients who are at risk of violent behavior are people who have goals. To injure someone, both physically and psychologically, violent behavior can occur verbally, directed at oneself, others and the environment. The research method is using a case study approach. The subject to be used in the case study is one of the patients with a risk disorder for violent behavior: Risk for violent behavior in Prof. Dr. Muhammad Ildren Medan. Obtained data on clients who are at risk of committing violent behavior. The client's medical diagnosis is paranoid schizophrenia. With a nursing diagnosis the risk of violent behavior, auditory hallucinations, self-care deficit. The results of the analysis show that nursing interventions with implementation strategies (SP) can reduce signs and symptoms of hallucinations in patients after being given nursing actions.

Changes in water age during dry-down of a non-perennial stream

Published: February 2023

Non-perennial streams, which lack year-round flow, are widespread globally. Identifying the sources of water that sustain flow in non-perennial streams is necessary to understand their potential impacts on downstream water resources, and guide water policy and management. Here, we used water isotopes (δ18O and δ2H) and two different modeling approaches to investigate the spatiotemporal dynamics of young water fractions (Fyw) in a non-perennial stream network at Konza Prairie (KS, USA) during the 2021 summer dry-down season, as well as over several years with varying hydrometeorological conditions. Using a Bayesian model, we found a substantial amount of young water (Fyw: 39.1 to 62.6%) sustained flows in the headwaters and at the catchment outlet during the 2021 water year, while 2015-2022 young water contributions estimated using sinusoidal models indicated smaller Fyw amounts (15.3% ± 5.7). Both modeling approaches indicate young water releases are highly sensitive to hydrological conditions, with streamwater shifting to older sources as the network dries. The shift in water age suggests a shift away from rapid fracture flow towards slower matrix flow that creates a sustained but localized surface water presence during late summer and is reflected in the annual dynamics of water age at the catchment outlet. The substantial proportion of young water highlights the vulnerability of non-perennial streams to short-term hydroclimatic change, while the late-summer shift to older water reveals a sensitivity to longer-term changes in groundwater dynamics. Combined, this suggests that local changes may propagate through non-perennial stream networks to influence downstream water availability and quality.
Soil moisture modulation of midlatitude heat waves
Authors: Bauer Adam , Vargas Zeppetello Lucas , Proistosescu Cristian
Published: February 2023

Heat waves are broadly expected to increase in severity and frequency under climate change. Case studies highlight a number of physical mechanisms that play a role in present-day heat waves, which typically occur during a coalescence of anomalous atmospheric and land surface conditions. However, a unified model of heat wave physics is lacking, primarily owing to difficulty in disentangling the forcing versus feedback roles of soil moisture and atmospheric variability. Here, we provide observational evidence that soil moisture modulation of heat waves is a generic feature of midlatitude continental climates, and develop a theoretical framework to understand this modulation. Using separation of timescales we derive a diagnostic equation for the nonlinear response of temperature to soil moisture variations, and a dynamical Hasselmann-like model for the soil moisture variations themselves. We find that soil moisture fluctuations control the frequency and intensity of temperature extremes by slowly altering the background state on which rapid atmospheric variability acts, rather than by altering atmospheric variability itself. We also find the slow soil moisture variations are well-approximated as being primarily driven by stochastic precipitation variability. Our framework provides a first-principles understanding of soil moisture’s role in midlatitude temperature extremes.

Authors: Koirala Puspa , Shrestha Dipendra , Phuyal Suman , Sharma Mohan Raj
Published: February 2023

Introduction: Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) and the pupillary response are the key indicators of the severity of traumatic brain injury (TBI). Glasgow coma scale- Pupil reactivity (GCS-P) score is a tool to incorporate pupil reactivity and GCS into a simple single index. The main aim of this study was to compare GCS and GCS- P scores in predicting mortality in TBI patients in our institution.
Materials and Methods: All patients admitted to Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital (TUTH) with moderate to severe head injury from May 2018 to April 2019 were included in the study. Both GCS and GCS- P scores were recorded separately at admission. Outcome was measured with Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) at the time of discharge and in three months. Diagnostic accuracy of both these scoring systems were calculated using receiver-operating characteristics (ROC) curve, and correlation between them was estimated by using Pearson correlation coefficient.
Results: Out of 136 patients enrolled, 98 patients had favorable outcome, 38 patients had unfavorable outcome at discharge. The Pearson correlation coefficient between GCS and GOS at discharge was 0.721 and GCS-P and GOS was 0.740 showing a good correlation between the GCS and GOS and GCS-P and GOS. The areas under ROC curve for GCS for prediction of mortality was 0.856 (95% CI; p<0.001) and for GCS-P is 0.871(95%CI;p<0.001) suggesting good discriminatory ability of both models. However, on statistical analysis, the discriminatory ability of GCS-P was not superior to GCS for mortality.
Conclusion: GCS-P is as good as but not superior to GCS in predicting mortality in traumatic brain injury patients.

Volunteering behaviours among UK military Veterans during the COVID-19 pandemic and associations with health and well-being
Authors: Sharp Marie-Louise , Jones Margaret , Burdett Howard , Fear Nicola T.
Published: February 2023

LAY SUMMARY

The COVID-19 pandemic influenced ways in which individuals volunteered and created barriers for participation because of differing restrictions. The research assessing how Veterans volunteer is limited, but there may be aspects of military culture that encourage service to others. The authors investigated volunteering among UK Veterans during the COVID-19 pandemic and what factors made Veterans more or less likely to volunteer. The study found that 60% of Veterans had volunteered in the past 12 months, a level similar to that among the UK general population. Overall, Veterans volunteered more often through formal organizations rather than on an informal basis, such as helping individuals such as neighbours. However, in relative terms, levels of formal volunteering decreased and levels of informal volunteering increased during the pandemic. Veterans were more likely to volunteer if they were officers or to increase volunteering if they felt lonely. Veterans who reduced volunteering were more likely to have mental health problems. Understanding volunteering among Veterans may open up more opportunities for participation.

The increased demand for energy is impacted by the growing population. As a result, new energy sources must be developed to replace the diminishing supplies. Waste to Energy (WTE) is a concept that can be used as an alternative to recycling waste into raw materials for Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF). Due to their combustibility, inorganic waste and plastic have the potential to be employed as source materials for RDF. In light of this discussion, RDF is required for both domestic and commercial purposes. chosen by classifying the garbage into different sizes and types. In order to demonstrate the huge potential for RDF treatment of active zone waste at the Cipayung Final Disposal Site (TPA), research has been conducted on the potential of RDF that meets industry standards and is environmentally friendly. From the analysis of available data, it is found that without using plastic and rubber waste, the calorific value of the RDF produced meets the required industry standards.

— The problem of transportation is studied in many areas, most importantly in the field of logistics and

operations management. The distribution problem of goods and commodities from sources to destinations is an

important problem where many methods have been used to obtain its optimum solution, which represents the

minimum cost of distribution the goods from sources to destinations. Generally, the transportation classical cost of

one unit of a good is depending on the source and the destination. In this paper, we suggest an approach to obtain a

solution to the transportation problem consisting of two products or more and then by using the modified Kruskal’s

algorithm we find the minimum feasible solution.

The risk factors and variables predictive of in-hospital mortality were analyzed. Results: The mean age of participants was 64 ± 7.9 years. In-hospital mortality occurred in 28.2% of study subjects. Those who were hypertensive (P = 0.012, OR = 5.85, 95%CI – 1.27–26.93), pre-operative renal insufficiency (P = 0.02, OR=2.83, 95% CI – 1.12–7.12), developed new-onset atrial and or ventricular arrhythmia(P < 0.001, OR = 31.87, 95%CI - 4.09–248.28), post-operative renal insufficiency(P < 0.001, OR = 6.72, 95% CI – 2.51–18.02), and thromboembolic events (P = 0.006, OR = 6.28, 95% CI – 2.51–18.02) had a higher odds of in-hospital mortality which was statistically significant. The variables predictive of in-hospital mortality were hypertension (Adjusted OR – 7.12, 95% CI – 1.25–40.38), occurrence of new-onset arrhythmia (Adjusted OR – 22.08, 95% CI 2.54–190.48), post-operative renal insufficiency (Adjusted OR – 7.38, 95% CI – 2.17–25.09), and thromboembolic events (Adjusted OR – 2.08, 95% CI – 0.33–12.83). Conclusion: Patients requiring IABP support belong to a high-risk group with significant risk of early post-operative mortality. Assessment and understanding of patient and clinical factors affecting outcomes should be one of the core nursing responsibilities in caring these patients.

OBJECTIVE

Hydrocephalus is inherently unpredictable. Most parents whose child is diagnosed with hydrocephalus do not anticipate the diagnosis, nor can anyone predict if or when a child’s shunt will fail and require emergency surgery. Previous research has shown that children with hydrocephalus and their caregivers experience significant posttraumatic stress symptoms secondary to the diagnosis. This study aims to understand caregiver experiences and needs, identify gaps in resources/support, and determine opportunities to improve care.

METHODS

Semistructured interviews were conducted with parent caregivers of children with hydrocephalus to learn about their experiences with the hydrocephalus diagnosis, hospitalizations, surgeries, coping and support, challenges of caring for a child with hydrocephalus, and logistics for a proposed support program. De-identified interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed, and analyzed for themes.

RESULTS

Thematic saturation was reached after 17 interviews. Five major themes emerged: 1) coping with the diagnosis, 2) received support, 3) hydrocephalus management, 4) implications for intervention, and 5) psychosocial stressors for caregivers. A top priority was balanced, trustworthy information delivered with compassion and updated throughout the child’s life. Caregivers described a variety of coping strategies, but a majority reported a need for support in processing complex emotions and dealing with the uncertainty of their child’s hydrocephalus. Most agreed that having a caregiver support network, medical professionals available for referrals and questions, and referrals to support services and therapies would facilitate feeling supported and providing the best care for their children.

CONCLUSIONS

Parent caregivers are critical to the health and well-being of children with hydrocephalus, and it is essential to understand their experiences to improve care. Providing well-defined information, psychosocial support, and resources will help to equip parent caregivers to be advocates for their children and to improve both the caregiver and the child’s quality of life.
Flexible neuroendoscopy for endoscopic third ventriculostomy and fourth ventricular arachnoid cyst fenestration in an infant
Authors: Fernandez Luis , LoPresti Melissa A. , Lee Jae Eun , DeCuypere Michael , Lam Sandi K.
Published: February 2023

Arachnoid cysts of the fourth ventricle are rarely reported. Management options include CSF diversion, cyst fenestration, or cyst excision. Fenestration can be done via open microsurgical technique or endoscopically with or without simultaneous third ventriculostomy; and both rigid and flexible endoscopy have been used successfully. However, application of this treatment modality in pediatric patients is not well described. Therefore, to their knowledge, the authors report the first successful treatment of a fourth ventricular arachnoid cyst with a single frontal burr hole entry point for third ventriculostomy and fourth ventricular arachnoid cyst fenestration performed using flexible neuroendoscopy. The patient was a 13-month-old boy presenting with progressive macrocephaly. The authors review their technique, discuss special considerations when using this approach, and include an annotated intraoperative video for demonstration to help instruct and guide management. The authors demonstrate with an example that a single frontal burr hole entry point for flexible endoscopic third ventriculostomy and navigation through a dilated cerebral aqueduct for fourth ventricular arachnoid cyst fenestration is a viable treatment for symptomatic fourth ventricular arachnoid cysts in children.

Tocharian A manuscript №№ 144–211 from Šorčuq: The new data. I
Authors: Itkin Ilya
Published: February 2023

The article provides a general description of the Tocharian A manuscript №№ 144–211 according to the publication of Tocharian A texts by E. Sieg and W. Siegling (1921). This manuscript is a collection of stories about prince Nanda, the half-brother of Buddha, and Sundari, his beloved. Many fragments of this manuscript, both published and still unpublished, join together. The article publishes two leaves made up of joined fragments — A 144 + THT 2485 and A 171+156 + THT 2543 + THT 2265 — with a detailed commentary and translation. The first leaf describes the beginning of Buddha and Nanda’s journey to the Himalayas and, further, to the world of the Thirty-three Gods (Skr. trayastriṃśa-). The second leaf presents a dialogue between two followers of Buddha — the young women Viśākhā and Preṣikā. A whole variety of elaborately used figures of speech (realization of the metaphor, chiasmus, deliberate syntactic ambiguity, etc.) allows to call this dialogue, whose text can be reconstructed almost fully, a pearl of the Buddhist literature of the Early Middle Ages.
Grammaticalization, lexicalization, and pragmaticalization: Russian constructions with the preposition PO
Authors: Vinogradova Ekaterina N.
Published: February 2023

The article describes Russian constructions including the preposition po with respect to grammaticalization, lexicalization, and pragmaticalization as processes often conflicting in linguistic studies. A corpus of constructions with po was created based on specialized dictionaries; dictionary entries in question were critically checked in order to identify all the functions of a particular construction. Some of these constructions required more precise definition of their functions in language and speech. As a result, a typology of constructions including po based on dictionary labels (prepositions, conjunctions, adverbs, predicatives, particles, parenthetical words) had to be expanded by adding the class of discourse formulae. The parenthetical constructions including po turned out to be very heterogenous, so they were categorized as follows: parenthetical constructions without any possible argument vs. parenthetical constructions with obligatory or optional argument. Besides that, literature on grammaticalization, lexicalization, pragmaticalization, and some other “-izations” was scrutinized; a consistent approach to them was selected and thus the collected constructions were correlated with the abovementioned linguistic processes. Analysis of the study corpus shows that formation of adverbs and predicatives corresponds to lexicalization; a relationship between notions of lexicalization, phraseologization, and idiomatization is illuminated. We demonstrate on the examples of specific linguistic units that prepositions and conjunctions follow some parameters of grammaticalization, taken broadly (E. Traugott et al.). ragmaticalization, viewed as a subclass of grammaticalization or as a separate process, can be revealed in evolution of particles and discourse formulae; parenthetical constructions are shown to be at the intersection of lexicalization and pragmaticalization. In conclusion, notions of constructionalization and multi-functionality are characterized; multi-functionality is stated to be a typical feature of the constructions analyzed.
Russian gosudar’ ‘sovereign’: Нistory and etymology
Authors: Uspenskij Boris
Published: February 2023

In the first half of the 15th century, the word gospodar’ appears in the title of the Grand Princes of Muscovy. In the 16th–17th centuries, gospodar’ was replaced by gosudar’. How did these terms correlate? When exactly and how did this change take place? All researchers, without exception, believed that gosudar’ is the result of a transformation of the word gospodar’, but none of them could explain how it could happen. Meanwhile, these words, apparently, are not related at all: gosudar’ and gospodar’ have different origin, and one form cannot be received from the other. Gospodar’ is obviously connected with such words as Gospod’ ‘Lord’, gospodin ‘master’, etc.; but what is the origin of the word gosudar’? The article offers a solution to this question.

Where in this decision the judge only imposed a prison sentence of 6 (six) months, where the judge's decision was far lower than the sentence stipulated in the Criminal Code. The purpose of this study is to find out the application of criminal penalties to perpetrators of embezzlement in positions in limited liability companies. This research is legal research, with descriptive research specifications, then the data is analyzed qualitatively and presented in a qualitative descriptive form. The application of the crime against the perpetrators of the crime of embezzlement in positions in the Company, is applied to the elements of Article 372 of the Criminal Code regarding embezzlement and Article 374 of the Criminal Code regarding embezzlement in office against the accused. By being sentenced to 6 (six) months imprisonment. The judge's decision was relatively lighter than the demands of the public prosecutor, namely 8 (eight) months in prison and also relatively lighter than the maximum sentence stipulated in Article 372 of the Criminal Code, namely imprisonment for a maximum of 4 (four) years, a maximum fine of nine hundred rupiahs and Article 374 of the Criminal Code, namely imprisonment for a maximum of 5 (five) years. So that it does not have a deterrent effect on the accused.
