Published: June 2024

Hypoxia is a critical characteristic of malignant tumors and involves enhanced cell survival, angiogenesis, glycolytic metabolism, and metastasis. Hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) has been used to improve and cure disorders involving hypoxia and ischemia, HBOT enhances the amount of dissolved oxygen in the plasma and thereby increasing O2 delivery to the tissue. Studies on HBOT and cancer have mostly focused on whether enhanced oxygen may act as a promoter of cancer. As oxygen is believed to be required for all the major processes of wound healing, including angiogenesis, this particular idea would give the impression that HBOT will promote cancer growth and recurrence. Nevertheless, this is not the case since the use of HBOT in patients with malignancies should be considered safe and therapeutic. There is no evidence indicating that HBO neither acts as a stimulator of tumor growth nor as an enhancer of recurrence. On the other hand, there is evidence that implies that HBO has tumor-inhibitory effects, this manuscript pretends to expand our knowledge on the effect and the mechanisms behind tumor oxygenation by HBOT.

Albumin levels in the blood are an indicator for assessing the severity of sepsis. In sepsis patients, administering albumin extract from Channa striata has better potential to replace Human Albumin by 20%. This study aims to determine the role of Channa striata extract (CSE) in improving albumin and creatinine in sepsis patients. This research is a quasi-experimental research with a pre-post-test design. Sepsis patients who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria and sign the informed consent form will be divided into treatment and control groups. Both groups received the same therapy protocol, except for the treatment group, which will be given CSE at a dose of 5gr, three times a day, for five days. Albumin, creatinine, and SOFA score measurements will be taken before the treatment and on the 7th day. All data will be tabulated and analyzed using statistical software. This study consisted of 2 groups, with a sample size of 20 patients for each group. It was found that the mean age of the research sample was 56.1 + 11.8 years. In the treatment group, there was no decrease in albumin levels before and after (2.76 + 0.41 to 2.76 + 0.40), p=0.952. There was no significant difference in assessing creatinine levels before and after treatment, p>0.05. There was an increase in SOFA score before and after treatment in both groups, p<0.05.

Published: June 2024

Antibiotic resistance to Escherichia coli is commonly found. Several studies have found that basil leaves contain chemical compounds: flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, and saponins, which act as antibacterials. This research aimed to determine the inhibitory power of the ethyl acetate fraction of basil leaves (Ocimum basilicum L) on the growth of Escherichia coli. This study used a post-test-only control group design. This study contained five groups: one positive control group, one negative control group, and three treatment groups. The treatment group consisted of the ethyl acetate fraction of basil leaves at 12.5% μ, 25% μ, and 50% μ. The control group was a positive control K(+) with co-trimoxazole and a negative control K(-) with 10% Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO). Kruskal walls test was chosen, followed by the Mann-Whitney difference test. In the Kruskal Walls test, a significant difference was found (p-value < 0.050) for basil leaf ethyl acetate fraction treatment. The largest average was obtained, namely the ethyl acetate fraction with a concentration of 12.5%. The Mann-Whitney test was carried out to determine fundamental differences between groups. The results of ethyl acetate fraction showed that the Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) for Escherichia coli was 12.5%.
Instructor-Driven Causes and Impacts of Grade Inflation in Philippine Higher Education
Authors: Giray Louie
Published: June 2024

Grade inflation in Philippine higher education is a growing concern, with instructors increasingly assigning higher grades to students. This paper investigates instructor-driven causes behind grade inflation and its impacts. Autoethnography was used as a method. The study locale was public state universities and colleges in Taguig City and Muntinlupa City, Philippines; data collection involved immersion, a personal diary, and informal discussions with faculty and students. Thematic analysis, guided by research inquiries, unveiled the factors driving this trend. Results suggest compassionate grading, influenced by a desire to support students facing challenges, fosters inflated success perceptions. Laziness, apathy, and sycophancy also contribute to lax grading, hindering genuine academic growth. Meanwhile, the impacts extend beyond academia, affecting graduates' skill acquisition and potentially dissatisfying employers. Recommendations advocate for enhanced accountability among instructors through rigorous evaluation systems and continuous professional development to safeguard academic standards. Combating grade inflation necessitates collaborative efforts to uphold education quality and integrity, benefiting students, institutions, and society.

Running Late: Student Commutes and High School Tardiness in Baltimore City
Authors: Burdick-Will Julia , Stein Marc L.
Published: June 2024

In this study, we use estimated public transit routes for high school students in Baltimore City to predict the number of days they are late during the school year. We find that after adjusting for individual and school characteristics, school preferences, and neighborhood fixed effects, total travel time and transit use are not predictive of tardiness, but requiring a bus transfer is. These estimates do not vary by student or school characteristics, indicating that this is a general phenomenon that has more to do with system-level reliability than individual motivation or school climate. These findings highlight the hidden costs imposed on some students who wish to leave their neighborhood and travel across town for better educational opportunities.
Cardiorespiratory Effects of Tai Chi Versus Walking: Exploratory Data from the LEAP Trial
Authors: Maris Stephen A. , Ma Yan , Litrownik Daniel , Moy Marilyn L. , Davis Roger B. , Wayne Peter M. , Yeh Gloria Y.
Published: June 2024

Background:

Tai Chi (TC), a mind-body exercise, may be a potential exercise maintenance strategy for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) after pulmonary rehabilitation. We sought to characterize the acute cardiorespiratory response during TC versus walking in patients with COPD after a 24-week intervention.

Methods:

Cardiorespiratory data were available on 26 adults with COPD (46% female, 54% GOLD stage III–IV) randomized to TC (n = 19) or group walking (n = 7). At 24 weeks, we examined between-groups standard cardiorespiratory measures (heart rate (HR), oxygen consumption (VO2), expired carbon dioxide (VCO2), respiratory rate (RR), and ventilation (VE)) during a multiphase in-class characterization protocol. Continuous HR data during resting and exercise phases were analyzed for time- and frequency-domain HR variability (HRV) indices.

Results:

At 24 weeks, during exercise phases, those in TC exhibited a mean HR of 80 ± 15 b · min−1, RR of 16.5 ± 4 breaths·min−1, and VO2 of 434.8 ± 146.5 mL·min−1; and in walking 95.7 ± 9.2 b·min −1, 26.2 ± 8 breaths·min−1, and 901.3 ± 261.2 mL·min−1, respectively (P < 0.05). Overall, TC was less strenuous with lower HR, VO2, VCO2, RR, and VE (P < 0.05). At rest, TC demonstrated more favorable respiratory efficiency (VE/VCO2; 35.53 ± 5.65 versus 41.07 ± 5.21, P < 0.05). During the postexercise recovery phase, time-domain HRV indices decreased after walking (e.g., pNN20: 35.7 ± 24.1 baseline, 10.3 ± 9.5 postwalk; pNN50: 20.9 ± 18.5 baseline, 3.9 ± 3.7 postwalk), while they remained relatively unchanged after TC. Frequency-domain HRV measures suggested greater total power (TP) across all phases of TC versus walking, particularly during meditation (P < 0.05 for LnTP).

Conclusion:

Preliminary data support that TC may be associated with improved pulmonary efficiency and reduced rapid shallow breathing compared with walking and be a viable exercise maintenance option after pulmonary rehabilitation.

Arteriovenous malformation of lung is a condition characterized by a direct connection of pulmonary artery system arteries with pulmonary veins and intrapulmonary right-to-left bypass formation. The prevalence of arteriovenous malformation is 1 per 50 000, observed more often in women. About 10 % of cases are diagnosed in childhood with the next rise of morbidity at the age of 50-60 years. Etiology is not studied yet. Clinical picture of arteriovenous malformation depends on a diameter of vessels, responsible for the bypass of blood. The most serious complication of arteriovenous malformation is a hemoptysis (pulmonary hemorrhage), hemothorax, abscess and brain infarction. Radiological methods, mainly spiral computed tomography of lung vessels, are the mainstay of diagnosis. Management of arteriovenous malformation is done using embolization of arterial vessels of affected area, resection of lung or combination of these methods. We present the clinical case of arteriovenous malformation, complicated by hemothorax. Key words: arteriovenous malformation, hemothorax, congenital hemorrhagic telangiectasia, video-assisted thoracoscopy, thoracic cavity computed tomography.
Biased Party Nominations as a Source of Women's Electoral Underperformance
Authors: Fujiwara Thomas , Hilbig Hanno , Raffler Pia
Published: June 2024

What accounts for differences in electoral success between male and female candidates? We argue that parties systematically nominate female candidates to districts where the party is less popular, making it harder for women to get elected. Our empirical strategy uses the German mixed electoral system to create counterfactual gender vote gaps. These gaps represent the scenario where male and female candidates are nominated in districts where their respective parties have equal popularity. Using data on all candidates for the German Bundestag across eleven elections, we document that female underperformance, and its variation across parties and election years, is explained almost entirely by women running in districts where their party is less popular. In contrast, we find no evidence that voter bias or candidate characteristics play a substantial role. Our argument highlights gendered party gatekeeping that increases in district strength as an important driver of female underrepresentation.

The fuel combustion process within coal power plants causes a significant amount of waste, called coal ash, often stored in slush basins. Due to low maintenance and lack of proper regulations, coal ash ponds have a high tendency to contaminate nearby groundwater sources. Without a simple way to ascertain whether the drinking water and soil near a private residential area is contaminated, citizens are unaware of the environmental risk surrounding them. To resolve this issue, this study aims to establish a correlation between the heavy metal concentrations in soil that are publicly available and the locations of coal ash plants. Thereafter, a user-friendly map will be created to determine the risk levels of their locations. To establish the correlation, four regression models and two classification models were implemented. Out of these models, the Support Vector Machine (SVM) proved to be the most accurate model in risk prediction, and the Mean Squared Error (MSE) reached the value of 0.01 in some cases. By running the models to compare the risks between the lined and unlined coal ash ponds, it was evident that the contamination levels surrounding unlined ponds were significantly greater than those near lined ponds. The results of this study will make a direct and positive impact on the community.

Humans presented with the same problem in the same environment commonly adopt wildly different strategies for attention and learning. Indeed, psychiatric conditions are defined by qualitative differences in behavior. However, most tasks measure an individual's deviation from a single expected strategy rather than the utilization of distinct strategies. Measuring diverse strategies is especially important for psychiatry, were conditions are defined by qualitatively distinct patterns of behavior. We paired psychiatric trait questionnaires with a context generalization task whose metrics for goal-directed attention and short-term memory identify qualitatively distinct strategies. Questionnaires assessed for traits associated with ASD, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), depression, schizotypy and psychosis. The subject population recruited online was matched for self-reported sex, and the sample was enriched with those reporting a formal diagnosis of ASD. 744 subjects completed the first session of the task, and 584 returned after four to six weeks to complete the second session. We found that a strategy dominated by goal-directed attention was associated with a profile of reduced trait scores relative to other subjects across all measures. During the second session, this strategy was particularly pronounced for those with reduced ADHD traits. In contrast, a strategy of attending to features based on frequency was associated with a profile of increased trait scores relative to other subjects, particularly traits for ASD and OCD. During the second session, this strategy was again associated with elevated traits, particularly those for ASD and ADHD traits. These results provide insight into the relationship between psychiatric traits and qualitatively distinct attention and learning strategies.
Effects of Internalized Stigma on Quality of Life and Stress in Undergraduate Students with Chronic Health Conditions
Authors: Criswell Kevin R.
Published: June 2024

Students with mental and/or physical chronic health conditions (CHCs) are at risk for diminished quality of life (QoL) and greater stress. Internalized stigma (the incorporation of a negative stereotype into one’s identity) may help explain this quality of life (QoL) and stress disparity. While prior work demonstrated that internalized stigma affects health outcomes, studies tend to examine single or small sets of outcomes, and studies of internalized stigma in students with mental and/or physical CHCs are sparse. The present study examined the effects of internalized stigma in three cohorts of students with mental and/or physical CHCs (2020-21, 2021-22, 2022-23; n = 313) who were surveyed during Fall, Winter, and Spring quarters. As individual responses were linked across quarters, average and changing effects of internalized stigma and covariates (demographic characteristics, coping and emotion regulation strategies, loneliness) were examined in multilevel linear models predicting each outcome (physical, psychological, social, and environmental QoL; stress). Covariate-controlled models demonstrated that students with co-occurring mental and physical CHCs and those reporting higher levels of internalized stigma tended to report lower levels of physical and psychological domains of QoL as well as greater stress. Findings suggest that internalized stigma is a single factor that may predict several health and stress outcomes. University staff and faculty are encouraged to proactively address internalized negative stereotypes to facilitate wellbeing in students with CHCs.
Native and non-native vowel discrimination in 6-month-old Norwegian infants

Published: June 2024

In the current preregistered study, we tested n = 67 6-month-old Norwegian infants’ discrimination of a native vowel contrast /y-i/ and a non-native (British) vowel contrast /ʌ-æ/ in an eyetracking habituation paradigm. Our results showed that, on a group level, infants did not discriminate either contrast. Yet, exploratory analyses revealed a negative association between infants’ performance in each experiment, that is, better discrimination of the native contrast was associated with worse discrimination of the non-native contrast. Potentially, infants in this study might have been on the cusp of perceptual reorganisation towards their native language.

The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic has affected every aspect of life. Not only the decline in the economic situation, but it has also had an impact on the emergence of social problems such as the high rate of early marriage. Early marriage has been a scientific concern for a long time. However, scientific studies have not been able to reduce the rate of increase in the number of children marrying early. The loss of the rights of children who should receive proper education, play and the right to protection are forced to be “bound” in a marriage. The purpose of this article is to add references to solving the problem of early marriage which has been long problematic on an international, national and regional scale. This article discusses the objective conditions of early marriage during a pandemic and criticizes the implementation of strategies for preventing and handling cases of the early child marriage. The data in this study were taken from the main data in the form of in-depth interviews with competent informants. Additional data was taken from existing data at the related office in North Luwu Regency along with the news from online sites, became a reference in this article. This study establish that the number of early marriages has rising due to the widespread use of social networks and changes in daily activity patterns. For future studies, it is recommended to consider the determinant factors in different locations and in a wider scope.

Betancourt-Peña 1's article entitled: "Changes in physical capacity and some physiological variables in patients with heart failure at 6 and 12 weeks of a cardiac rehabilitation program", published in October 2021 in his journal, has been read with interest. He highlighted the usefulness of the sociodemographic characteristics of patients in the city of Cali, Colombia in the months of September to December 2017, in which it was evidenced that the sex with the highest participation was male, with a ratio of four out of five individuals. The most frequent regimen to which the participants were affiliated was the contributory one, the average left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of the patients was 34.9 ± 1.4. The change in the absolute values of the weight and BMI variables was minimal during the 12 weeks of rehabilitation.
