Authors: Hashism Mushtaq T.
Published: December 2023

Background: The problem of excessive alcohol consumption is a major cause of public health concern in most countries of the world today. Royal Colleges of Physicians and Psychiatrists recommended that every inpatient should be screened with a questionnaire for alcohol related problems. Therefore, this work was carried out to report on alcoholism in the emergency unit in two general hospitals in Baghdad, Iraq.Methods: The study was carried out in Al-Sader general hospital (Al-Sader city, Baghdad) and Baghdad teaching hospital (Baghdad) for the period 1st July 2008 to 1st May 2009. Data collection was two days per week. Version of 25 items Michigan Alcoholism Screening Test (MAST) and semi-structured schedule based on Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th edition (DSM-IV) criteria for alcohol dependence were used. Males aged 16 – 70 years attended emergency units were included in the study.Results: There were 11% had alcoholism. Alcoholism was significantly associated with age > 40 years, married, low educated and employed (p= 0.02, 0.002, 0.03, respectively). Alcohol dependence was significantly associated with younger age (< 40 years), single, low educated, early onset of drinking (< 30 years) and positive family history of alcoholism (p=0.006, 0.004, 0.004, 0.004, 0.005, respectively). Sensitivity and positivity of MAST were 86.7% and 60.7%, respectively.Conclusion: High prevalence of alcoholism was reported among attendents to emergency units.

Authors: Tombuca Can , Çavuş Murat
Published: December 2023

In this study, repair mortars with artificial and natural pozzolan additives were produced for the restoration of historical buildings. Class C fly ash, an artificial pozzolan and zeolite the natural pozzolan, were substituted into these lime-based mortars. Two different aggregate types were used in the preparation of the mortars: natural river sand and crushed brick. A total of 18 batches of mortars were produced, two of which were reference batches. In the first group of batches, fly ash, which is the major pozzolan, was tested in both aggregate groups in 20%, 40%, and 60% ratios of lime substitution. In the second group of batches, fly ash and zeolite were used in different proportions as lime substitution. In the reference series, air lime was used alone. At the end of the 28, 56, and 90 days curing period, mechanical, physical properties, and phase composition of the mortars were determined. When the pozzolan-added mortars were compared with the reference mortars, it was observed that pozzolans provided significant improvements in the physical and mechanical properties of the repair mortars. While significant improvements were observed in the physical properties of the mortars where fly ash was used as the only pozzolan, mechanical properties were better in the mortars with zeolite.

Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND:

Bladder cancer is the tenth leading cause of cancer death in the United States (US). Advances in diagnosis, imaging, and treatments have led to improvements in bladder cancer management.

OBJECTIVE:

To evaluate longitudinal bladder cancer mortality trends from 1999–2020 in the US by gender, race, ethnicity, age, geographic region, and urbanization category.

METHODS:

Age-adjusted bladder cancer death and incidence rates of individuals in the US of all ages between 1999–2020 were obtained using the CDC WONDER and NAACCR databases. Trends and average annual percent changes (AAPC) in age-adjusted Bladder Cancer-Specific Mortality (BCSM) and incidence rates were estimated. Data were analyzed from May 2023 to October 2023.

RESULTS:

From 1999–2020, overall BCSM decreased by 0.4% annually, with a dramatic decrease in deaths between 2015–2020 (AAPC: –2.0% [95% CI: –2.6,–1.3]). However, BCSM rates and metastatic malignant bladder cancer incidence rates from 1999–2020 increased for individuals≥85 years old (AAPC for BCSM: 0.8% [95% CI:0.5,1.1]; AAPC for metastatic malignant incidence: 2.5% [95% CI: 2.0,2.9]). Increases in BCSM were found for certain years in the South, in rural areas, and for Non-Hispanic White and Asian or Pacific Islander individuals.

CONCLUSIONS:

Overall mortality from bladder cancer has been decreasing in the US over two decades. Upon disaggregation, increasing trends were found for BCSM and for metastatic malignant bladder cancer incidence for individuals≥85 years old from 1999–2020. Further evaluation of these trends is essential to understand how to target specific populations to improve patient outcomes.
Blood rheology and vascular function in sickle cell trait and sickle cell disease: From pathophysiological mechanisms to clinical usefulness
Authors: Connes Philippe
Published: December 2023

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an autosomal recessive disorder. Although the molecular mechanisms at the origin of SCD have been well characterized, its clinical expression is highly variable. SCD is characterized by blood rheological abnormalities, increased inflammation and oxidative stress, and vascular dysfunction. Individuals with only one copy of the mutated β-globin gene have sickle cell trait (SCT) and are usually asymptomatic. The first part of this review focuses on the biological responses of SCT carriers during exercise and on the effects of combined SCT and diabetes on vascular function, several biomarkers and clinical complications. The second part of the review focuses on SCD and shows that the magnitude of red blood cell (RBC) rheological alterations is highly variable from one patient to another, and this variability reflects the clinical and hematological variability: patients with the less deformable RBCs have high hemolytic rate and severe anemia, and are prone to develop leg ulcers, priapism, cerebral vasculopathy, glomerulopathy or pulmonary hypertension. In contrast, SCD patients characterized by the presence of more deformable RBCs (but still rigid) are less anemic and may exhibit increased blood viscosity, which increases the risk for vaso-occlusive events. Several genetic and cellular factors may modulate RBC deformability in SCD: co-existence of α-thalassemia, fetal hemoglobin level, oxidative stress, the presence of residual mitochondria into mature RBCs, the activity of various non-selective cationic ion channels, etc. The last part of this review presents the effects of hydroxyurea and exercise training on RBC rheology and other biomarkers in SCD.
Delirium Prevention in Early Rehabilitation During Acute Hospitalization and Implementation of Programs Specifically Tailored to Older Patients with Cognitive Impairment: A Scoping Review with Meta-Analysis
Authors: Hauer Klaus , Dutzi Ilona , Werner Christian , Bauer Jürgen , Ullrich Phoebe
Published: December 2023

Background: No systematic review on delirium prevention within early, hospital-based rehabilitation on implementation of approaches specifically tailored for patients with cognitive impairment (PwCI), such as Alzheimer’s disease or vascular dementia, has been published despite the high relevance of specific medical care in this vulnerable population. Objective: To document design and effectiveness of delirium prevention programs by early rehabilitation during acute, hospital-based medical care and implementation of programs specifically tailored to PwCI. Methods: In a three-step approach, we first identified published systematic reviews of hospital-based, early rehabilitation interventions for older persons (>65 years) in relevant databases. In a second step, we screened each single trial of included reviews according to predefined inclusion criteria. In a third step, we analyzed studies with focus on delirium prevention. Results: Among n = 25 studies identified, almost all intervention programs did not specifically target cognitive impairment (CI). Interventions were heterogeneous (modules: n = 2–19); almost all study samples were mixed/unspecified for cognitive status with more affected patients excluded. Only one study exclusively included delirium patients, and only one included CI patients. Results of random effect meta-analysis showed significant effects of generic programs to reduce delirium incidence during hospitalization by 41% (p < 0.001, odds ratio, 95% confidence interval: 0.59 [0.49, 0.71] with modest heterogeneity (I2: 30%). Conclusions: Study results document a lack of implementation for delirium prevention programs specifically tailored to PwCI by early, hospital-based rehabilitation. Specifying existing rehab concepts or augmenting them by CI-specific modules may help to develop, optimize, and implement innovative delirium prevention in PwCI in acute medical care.

Authors: Anschuetz Anne , Schwab Karima , Harrington Charles R. , Wischik Claude M. , Riedel Gernot
Published: December 2023

Background: A key aspect of synaptic dysfunction in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is loss of synaptic proteins. Previous publications showed that the presynaptic machinery is more strongly affected than postsynaptic proteins. However, it has also been reported that presynaptic protein loss is highly variable and shows region- and protein-specificity. Objective: The objective of this meta-analysis was to provide an update on the available literature and to further characterize patterns of presynaptic protein loss in AD. Methods: Systematic literature search was conducted for studies published between 2015–2022 which quantified presynaptic proteins in postmortem tissue from AD patients and healthy controls. Three-level random effects meta-analyses of twenty-two identified studies was performed to characterize overall presynaptic protein loss and changes in specific regions, proteins, protein families, and functional categories. Results: Meta-analysis confirmed overall loss of presynaptic proteins in AD patients. Subgroup analysis revealed region specificity of protein loss, with largest effects in temporal and frontal cortex. Results concerning different groups of proteins were also highly variable. Strongest and most consistently affected was the family of synaptosome associated proteins, especially SNAP25. Among the most severely affected were proteins regulating dense core vesicle exocytosis and the synaptic vesicle cycle. Conclusions: Results confirm previous literature related to presynaptic protein loss in AD patients and provide further in-depth characterization of most affected proteins and presynaptic functions.

PURPOSE: Pediatric patients with spina bifida often experience neurogenic bowel dysfunction. Although cecostomy tubes could improve bowel continence, their effectiveness is not well established in this population. The aims of this study were to better understand the effectiveness of cecostomy tubes relative to other management strategies (between-subject) and to explore their effectiveness among patients who received these placements (within-subject). METHODS: Retrospective analysis of data from pediatric patients enrolled in a national spina bifida patient registry (n = 297) at a single multidisciplinary clinic was performed, covering visits between January 2014 –December 2021. Linear and ordinal mixed effect models (fixed and random effects) tested the influence of cecostomy status (no placement vs placement) and time (visits) on bowel continence while controlling for demographic and condition-specific covariates. RESULTS: Patients with cecostomy tubes had higher bowel continence compared to patients without placements (B = 0.695, 95% CI [0.333, 1.050]; AOR = 2.043, p = .007). Patients with cecostomy tubes had higher bowel continence after their placements compared to before (B = 0.834, 95% CI [0.142, 1.540]; AOR = 3.259, p = 0.011). CONCLUSION: Results indicate cecostomy tubes are effective for improving bowel continence in this pediatric population. Future research is needed to conduct risk analyses and determine the clinical significance of these effects.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: Persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD) is worsened in a standing posture, or by body movement, or visual stimulation. We aimed to evaluate postural stability in PPPD patients using foam posturography and to investigate the dependence on visual and somatosensory input in the standing posture. METHODS: Foam posturography was performed on 53 PPPD patients, and data from the PPPD patients were compared with the data from an age- and sex-matched healthy controls. The PPPD patients were divided into four groups based on the findings of vestibular function tests and the effect of vestibular function on posturographic data was examined. RESULTS: Romberg’s ratios were significantly higher in PPPD patients than in controls. The median Romberg’s ratios in PPPD patients with normal vestibular function were also higher than those in controls. However, foam ratio was significantly lower in PPPD patients than in controls. The median foam ratios in PPPD patients with vestibular dysfunction were also lower than those in controls. CONCLUSIONS: In a standing posture, PPPD patients may be more dependent on visual input and less dependent on somatosensory input than healthy subjects. Higher dependence on visual and lower dependence on somatosensory input in PPPD may be a feature unaffected by vestibular function.

Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND: Patients with vestibular loss have reduced wayfinding ability, but the association between vestibular loss and impaired steering spatial navigation is unclear. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether vestibular loss is associated with reduced steering navigation performance in a virtual reality (VR) environment containing obstacles. METHODS: 17 ambulatory adults with vestibular loss were age/sex-matched to healthy controls. Participants traversed a VR hallway with obstacles, and their navigation performance was compared using metrics such as collisions, time, total distance travelled, and speed in single and multivariate analysis. RESULTS: In univariate analysis there was no significant difference in collisions between vestibular patients and controls (1.84 vs. 2.24, p = 0.974). However, vestibular patients took more time, longer routes, and had lower speeds to complete the task (56.9 vs. 43.9 seconds, p < 0.001; 23.1 vs. 22.0 meters, p = 0.0312; 0.417 vs. 0.544 m/s, p < 0.001). These results were confirmed in multivariate analysis. CONCLUSIONS: This study found that patients with vestibular loss displayed slower gait speeds and traveled longer distances, though did not make more collisions, during a VR steering navigation task. Beyond the known influence of vestibular function on gait speed, vestibular loss may also contribute to less efficient steering navigation through an obstacle-laden environment, through neural mechanisms that remain to be elucidated.
Complex Dynamics and the Age of the Universe

Published: December 2023

There are growing indications today that _complexdynamics of far-from_-_equilibrium systems_ lies at the root of primordial cosmology and the ultraviolet (UV) sector of particle physics. We recently pointed out that dimensional fluctuations of the UV sector can reproduce the morphology of the cosmic web. Expanding on the same line of inquiry, this provisional report explores the link between the _long-range temporal correlations_ of critical phenomena and primordial cosmology. Excluding systematic measurement errors, our report sheds new light on the tension in the age of the Universe sparked off by the latest observations of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).

Penelitian ini berjudul “Pengaruh Gaya Kepemimpinan Tranformasional dan Transaksional Terhadap Kinerja Pegawai Dengan Kepuasan Kerja Sebagai Variabel Intervening Pada Pegawai Institut Agama Islam Negeri Kediri”. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh gaya kepemimpinan transformasional terhadap kepuasan kerja, untuk mengetahui pengaruh gaya kepemimpinan transaksional terhadap kepuasan kerja, untuk mengetahui pengaruh Kepuasaan Kerja berpengaruh terhadap Kinerja, untuk mengetahui apakah kepuasan kerja dapat menjadi mediator hubungan antara kepemimpinan transaksioanal dan kinerja, serta untuk mengetahui apakah kepuasan kerja dapat menjadi mediasi hubungan antara kepemimpinan transformasional dan kinerja pegawai di lingkungan IAIN Kediri. Populasi penelitian ini sebanyak 100 orang pegawai IAIN Kediri. Penelitian dilakukan dengan penyebaran kuesioner dan untuk metode analisis data yang digunakan adalah analisis jalur (Path analysis).

 

Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa gaya kepemimpinan transformasional berpengaruh signifikan terhadap kepuasan kerja. Gaya kepemimpinan transaksional memiliki pengaruh terhadap variabel kepuasan kerja.  Hal ini berarti bahwa gaya kepemimpinan transformasional dan gaya kepemimpinan transaksional, diprediksi dapat meningkatkan kepuasaan kerja karyawan di IAIN Kediri. Kepuasan kerja juga memiliki pengaruh terhadap variabel kinerja. Artinya dengan adanya kepuasaan kerja yang dialami pegawai di IAIN Kediri, diprediksi akan meningkatkan kinerja para pegawai yang berkerja di IAIN Kediri. Sebagai variabel intervening, kepuasan kerja mampu menjadi mediator antar gaya kepemimpinan transaksional dan kinerja karyawan. Pada hasil penelitian ini juga ditemukan bahwa terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara Kepempimpinan Transformasional terhadap Kepuasaan Kerja. Hal ini berarti bahwa Kepuasan Kerja mampu memediasi penuh hubungan antara Transformasional dan Kinerja. Dengan kata lain, gaya kepemimpinan transaksional  dan transformasional yang diterapkan dengan baik oleh pemimpin akan memberikan kepuasan kerja yang tinggi sehingga akan dapat meningkatkan kinerja karyawan. Namun, jika gaya kepemimpinan transaksional dan transformasional belum maksimal yang dilakukan oleh pemimpin akan memberikan kepuasan kerja yang kurang dan tentu juga akan menurunkan kinerja karyawan.

A child is born in a state of "sacred" nature and has the potential to be intelligent and successful in the future, just like an animal that is continuously trained, it becomes intelligent, different from its community. Likewise with humans who are bestowed with perfection in the creation of the creator. Educated humans will certainly influence the success of life, meaning that success or not in life can be influenced by the pattern of students who originate either in the family environment, home environment or school environment. Parents are teachers for children, while educational institution teachers serve as a counterbalance to the curriculum as a structure of knowledge in the child. There are often social complaints about "failure". The excuse for failure of educators or approaches in educating. This is what has the complexity of being studied in scientific discussions which then becomes criticism of the world of education itself. The compulsion towards education began to be packaged again with the term trend approach (approach).

The purpose of the study is to outline the approaches used by Ukrainian online publications to cover Roma issues in their materials during a full-scale war. The tasks of the research are to identify trends in the use of language and content elements in media texts, their observance of professional ethics and journalistic standards.

Research methodology. A combination of methods is used in scientific exploration. In order to identify the language of hostility and Romaphobia in the coverage of Roma topics, a textological analysis of linguistic means in the media was applied. Qualitative content analysis was applied to identify trends in compliance or violation of ethical and professional norms in top online media indexed in the Google search engine. The methods of generalization and induction were applied during the systematization of the analyzed publications and the formulation of research conclusions.

Results. The full-scale war further exacerbated the already difficult situation with Roma rights in Ukraine. This also applies to the media, which, instead of uniting the Roma national community and promoting its integration, began to separate it from Ukrainians in general. Some local and national media continue to «play» on clickbait headlines, violation of ethical norms through the use of hate speech and Romaphobia, thereby devaluing and humiliating Ukrainian citizens of Roma origin.
