Perspektivwechsel Mediensucht – Problematische Computerspielnutzung als Handlungsoption
Authors: Haubold Rebekka , Elsner Anneke , Ganguin Sonja
Published: July 2024

Betrachtet man die öffentliche Diskussion um das Thema «Medienabhängigkeit», wird diese vor allem von suchtmedizinischer Seite bestimmt. Dies trifft ebenfalls auf das Phänomen der exzessiven Computerspielnutzung zu. Um einer Pathologisierung entgegenzuwirken, erachten wir es als erkenntnisreich, sich den existierenden Positionen zum Phänomen zu widmen und insbesondere mögliche medienpädagogische Perspektiven zu skizzieren. Mit dem Begriff der «problematischen Medienabhängigkeit» definieren wir einen Arbeitsbegriff entlang einer kritisch-optimistischen anstatt einer kulturpessimistischen Sicht. Die theoretischen Überlegungen zur Notwendigkeit eines solchen Perspektivwechsels werden anhand einer empirischen Untersuchung zur exzessiven Computerspielnutzung verdeutlicht. In den mittels theoretischen Kodierens nach der Grounded Theory ausgewerteten Interviews mit betroffenen Computerspielnutzer:innen zeigt sich, dass die Medienangebote selbst nicht als Ursache, sondern als Lösungsstrategien einer problematischen Medienabhängigkeit zu betrachten sind. Die Vorteile dieses Perspektivwechsels für die medienpädagogische Forschung und Arbeit werden in den abschliessenden Implikationen für die Praxis zusammengefasst.
Von der Entwicklung von Open Educational Resources zur Umsetzung von Open Educational Practices in der inklusiven Lehrkräftebildung

Der Beitrag beschreibt anhand identifizierter Anforderungen, erprobter Vorgehensweisen sowie gewonnener Erfahrungen im Rahmen der Verbundprojekte inklud.nrw und InDigO Implikationen für die Umsetzung einer neuen Lehr-/Lernkultur innerhalb der universitären Lehrkräftebildung. Die zeitlich aufeinanderfolgenden Projekte widmeten sich zum einen der Entwicklung inklusionsorientierter Open Educational Resources (OER) unter der Perspektive von Digitalisierung (inklud.nrw), zum anderen der Erprobung solcher offener Bildungsressourcen in Communities von Lehrenden der Bildungswissenschaften an verschiedenen Universitäten in Nordrhein-Westfalen (InDigO). Beide Projekte adressierten primär Lehrende als Protagonist:innen einer neuen Lehr-/Lernkultur und intendierten die systematische Gewinnung von Erfahrungen sowie von evaluationsbasierten Erkenntnissen hinsichtlich Bedarfe, Herausforderungen und Gelingensbedingungen im Kontext von OER und Open Educational Practice (OEP) in der Lehrkräftebildung. In der Gesamtschau auf beide Projekte zeigt sich eine kohärente Logik, die als Weg von OER zu OEP beschrieben werden kann. Dieser wird im Beitrag skizziert und diskutiert, um am konkreten Beispiel verallgemeinerbare, auf andere Vorhaben transferierbare Implikationen für die Umsetzung der avisierten neuen Lehr-/Lernkultur innerhalb der universitären Lehrkräftebildung aufzeigen zu können. Erkennbar ist, dass es, um den Kulturwandel zur «Kultur des Teilens» systematisch in den Lehrealltag zu implementieren, auch dauerhaft Learning Communities bedarf, die neben der individuellen oder kooperativen Arbeit mit den offenen Lehr-/Lernmaterialien auch den fachlichen Dialog hierüber ermöglichen. Der Austausch über den Gegenstand des gemeinsamen Interesses erweist sich als wichtige Gelingensbedingung, um für eine kollaborative Nutzung von OER in der Lehre zu motivieren und um die Qualität der Lehre durch Kollaboration zu verbessern. Darüber hinaus zeigt sich die Relevanz, zukünftig neben den Hochschullehrenden verstärkt die Studierenden in den Blick zu nehmen, da OER und OEP auf heterogene Gruppen abgestimmt werden können und Potenziale für die Verbesserung von Bildungsteilhabe bieten.

Published: July 2024

Unterschiedliche Qualitätsansprüche an Open Educational Resources (OER) stellen einen wiederkehrenden Teil des Diskurses dar. Verschiedene Autor:innen legen in diesem Zusammenhang Kriterien vor, die der Sicherung qualitativ hochwertiger OER dienen sollen. Auch im Projekt «InDigO: Inklusion und Digitalisierung im OER-Format lernen, weiterentwickeln und verbreiten» wurde im Rahmen der Bedarfsanalyse und unter der Zielstellung einer qualitativ hochwertigen Lehre die Notwendigkeit der Sicherstellung qualitätsvoller Bildungsmaterialien ermittelt. Aus bildungswissenschaftlicher Perspektive wurde in diesem Zusammenhang ein OER-Kriterienkatalog entwickelt, der den spezifischen Materialansprüchen und damit verbunden einer hochwertigen lernenden Auseinandersetzung mit Inklusion von Lehramtsstudierenden in einem weiten Sinne Rechnung tragen soll. Unter der Zielperspektive einer konsensuellen Lesart stellte insbesondere das gemeinsame Aushandeln und Reflektieren der einzelnen Kriterien im Entwickler:innenteam einen bedeutsamen Entwicklungsschritt dar. Der vorliegende Beitrag legt den Blick zunächst auf die Genese und Beschreibung dieses Kriterienkatalogs, um diesen anschliessend in Bezug auf die praktische Bedeutsamkeit sowie auf einer übergeordneten Abstraktionsebene im Kontext offener Bildungspraktiken und einer lernenden Community of Practice zu reflektieren.
Deux siècles d’arts et de sciences à Nice et Villefranche sur Mer : 1) Les anciens : de 1800 à 1900
Authors: Sardet Christian
Published: July 2024

Nous racontons l’histoire de l’évolution des connaissances de la flore et la faune dans la région niçoise et en particulier celle de la faune pélagique. Dans les années 1800, Antoine Risso, Jean Gabriel Prêtre, François Péron et Alexandre Lesueur décrivent et peignent les fleurs, les poissons et des invertébrés marins. Au milieu du siècle, le naturaliste niçois, Jean Baptiste Vérany accueille des savants allemands et suisses - Johannes Müller, Rudolf Leuckart, Ernst Haeckel et Carl Vogt - qui influencent les recherches et le destin de la biologie dans la région par leurs descriptions illustrées d’organismes jusqu’alors ignorés comme les siphonophores et les radiolaires. Et dans les années 1880, Hermann Fol, Jules Barrois et Alexis Korotneff créent une station marine accueillante à Villefranche sur Mer, reconnue depuis comme un site exceptionel pour l’étude du plancton. A partir du milieu du 19ème, le Muséum d’Histoire Naturelle de Nice s’enrichit des collections de Risso, Vérany et Jean Baptiste Barla épaulés par Vincent Fossat, un peintre / illustrateur talentueux. A la fin du siècle, la région niçoise attire les souverains et aristocrates anglais et russes, des biologistes et des peintres impressionistes. Dans un article compagnon (Sardet 2024 /2 Les modernes – de 1970 à 2024), nous montrons que les organismes explorés au 19ème siècle sont toujours l’objet de recherches à l’Institut de la Mer de Villefranche (IMEV).
Décrire la faune marine de la Côte d’Azur en 1809 : l’étude de François Péron et Charles-Alexandre Lesueur
Authors: Baglione Gabrielle
Published: July 2024

François Péron et Charles-Alexandre Lesueur, respectivement zoologiste et dessinateur naturaliste, ont formé durant 10 années un duo de savants singulier. Entre 1800 et 1810, ils mettent leur travail, leurs hypothèses et leurs expériences au service de la connaissance du monde animal. L’étude de la faune marine, en particulier des méduses, est l’un de leurs sujets de prédilection. En 1809, ils poursuivent à Villefranche sur Mer, en Méditerranée, les travaux qu’ils ont jusqu’alors mené dans les océans pendant le Voyage de découvertes aux Terres australes (1800-1804) décidé par Bonaparte et mené par Nicolas Baudin. Deux siècles plus tard, les spécialistes des organismes marins continuent de rendre hommage à ce travail novateur.

Authors: Keçeci Mehmet , Depel Gamze , Güneş Nuray , Usta Sadık , Uygur Veli , Akça Muhittin Onur , Demir Zeynep
Published: July 2024

In this study, the effects of zinc (Zn) and humic acid (HA) applications on soils (12 Aridisol soil samples) formed on limestone and marl parent materials, which are very common in Türkiye, were tested by incubation, adsorption, and greenhouse experiments. Adsorption experiments were carried out using the batch sorption technique, and the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm parameters were calculated. In the incubation, soils were incubated with control, HA, Zn, and HA+Zn, and the DTPA-Zn was tested in five different periods (1, 7, 15, 30, and 90th days). Maize was grown for eight weeks in pots in the greenhouse. The maximum Zn adsorption for all soils ranged between 3333 and 6250 mg kg-1 in marl soils and 1042 and 5263 mg kg-1 in limestone soils, which decreased to ranges between 2631 and 5555 mg kg-1 in marl soils and 1052 and 5000 mg kg-1 in limestone soils with HA appli-cation, respectively. The desorption rate (%) of adsorbed Zn increased as the initial Zn concentration increased in all soil series formed on marl (smectite clay mineral) and lime-stone (kaolinite clay mineral) parent materials. The effects of humic acid and Zn applica-tion on the fresh and dry weights of maize were found to be statistically significant at the 5% level for marl and limestone parent material. Humic acid application increased the fresh weight of maize compared with that of the control. The highest available Zn was determined in Başkuyu series (0.79 mg kg-1) formed on marl parent material, while the lowest available Zn was obtained in Saraççeşme series (0.60 mg kg-1) formed on limestone parent material. In the greenhouse, HA increased the fresh weight of maize in soils formed on both parent materials by 0.4 and 19.6%, respectively, compared to the control. Zn fertili-zation with HA further increased the fresh and dry yields, with 12 mg kg-1 performing bet-ter. Smax (maximum Zn adsorption of the soil) parameters of soils were negatively corre-lated with EC, Pav, Kav, organic matter, silt, clay, total N, and cation exchange capacity (CEC) of the samples. Although HA alone increases the availability of Zn in plants, HA + Zn appli-cations should be applied together to obtain higher yields.

Authors: Alsancak Sırlı Belgin , Yıldız Hakan , Aydoğdu Metin , Kale Çelik Sema
Published: July 2024

In this study, yield prediction was made for Tosunbey and Bayraktar bread wheat varieties under rainfall conditions and 4 different fertilizer ratios with AquaCrop model, one of the plant growth models. In this experiment conducted at Haymana Ikizce Research Farm, actual field observations and model predicted grain yield, biomass, and green area coverage ratio were evaluated. Mean deviation (α), standard error (RMSE), and model efficiency coefficient (E) tests were used to determine the performance of the model. The AquaCrop model was calibrated in the first year and validated based on observational data collected in the first and second years of the experiment, respectively. Based on the results obtained, it was observed that the AquaCrop model simulated grain yield at different levels of nitrogen fertilizer applications with higher precision for Bayraktar variety. For Bayraktar variety, grain yield E = 0.93 in the first year and 0.99 in the second year for grain yield, and E = 0.83 in the first year and 0.98 in the second year for biomass, indicating excellent agreement between model and observation was found. In Tosunbey variety, first-year grain yield E=0.66 and 2nd year grain yield 0.76 were found. The 2nd year RMSE value for grain yield of Bayraktar variety was 0.266, and the 2nd year RMSE value for the grain yield of Tosunbey variety was 0.664 and found to be statistically compatible. Grain yield, biomass, and percent cover (CC) values obtained from the model were found to be highly consistent with field observations.
Spectroscopic, thermic and metal binding properties of commercial humic acid and leonardite
Authors: Ertem Ahsen , Karmaz Emre , Avag Kadri , Peker Remzi Murat
Published: July 2024

Humic acids are formed from a combination of variable chemical groups found in natural sources containing partially aromatic groups in an amorphous structure. These substances have been shown to significantly impact plant biomass, affecting nutrient distribution through direct interaction with the plant and nutrient supply and regulation through indirect interaction. The lack of a regular and repeating molecular structure in humic substances makes them challenging to determine. Humic substances used in agriculture commercially are humic and fulvic acid or combinations of both in different proportions. In our research, we used spectroscopic and thermal methods to understand the structures of commercial samples. We conducted FT-IR (Fourier Transform Infra-Red) spectroscopy to analyze the structure's bonds, thermal analysis to comprehend its thermal properties, and NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) analysis to obtain information about the carbon content. By combining, comparing, and interpreting all these methods, we can predict commercial samples' spectroscopic and thermal properties during the production stage. This can serve as a foundation for researchers studying or utilizing humic acid.
Elevation-dependent effects of snowfall and snow cover changes on runoff variations at the source regions of the Yellow River basin
Authors: Yu Yuanhui , Zhou Yuyan , Li Meihua , Xue Wei , Liu Jianwei , Hu Yingying
Published: July 2024

Accurate simulation of the snowmelt runoff process is of great significance in understanding the evolution of water resources in high-altitude cold regions and achieving efficient utilization of water resources. This study focuses on the source regions of the Yellow River basin (SYRB) and aims to improve the snow identification and snowmelt simulation methods in the WEP-L hydrological model. The results show a significant decrease in the snowfall ratio from 2002 to 2018. The fraction of snow cover decreased at lower altitudes but increased at higher altitudes, displaying an exponential relationship with negative accumulated temperature. Snowmelt was found to be negatively correlated with snowfall and snow cover, with a stronger negative correlation at higher altitudes. The decrease in the snowfall ratio intensified with increasing elevation, while snow cover increased with elevation. However, the overall trend of snowmelt runoff was not significant. These findings highlight the dynamic relationship between snowfall, snow cover, and temperature in the SYRB. By incorporating the established response function, the accuracy of snow identification and snowmelt simulation in the WEP-L model has been enhanced. This study contributes to a better understanding of water resource evolution and the efficient utilization of water resources in high-altitude cold regions.
Assessment of Logistic Regression Model Performance and Physical Controls on January 9, 2018, Debris Flows, Thomas Fire, California
Authors: Swanson Brian J. , Lukashov Stefani G. , Schwartz Jonathon Y. , Lindsay Donald N. , Lancaster Jeremy T.
Published: July 2024

The 2017–2018 Thomas Fire burned 281,893 acres of land in southeastern Santa Barbara County and southwestern Ventura County. An atmospheric river storm impacted the region on January 9, 2018, producing intense rainfall in the western and northern portions of the burned area and triggering numerous post-fire debris flows (PFDFs). The most destructive and deadly flows inundated the town of Montecito, where 23 people died. Debris flow source and inundation mapping data across the fire provide a rare opportunity to assess the interplay between rainfall intensity, watershed characteristics, geologic conditions, and resulting PFDF occurrence. Mapped data are compared to spatially explicit analyses of 857 drainage basins modeled with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) logistic regression model (LRM) for PFDF prediction using 15-minute rainfall thresholds at 50 and 90 percent (P50 and P90) probabilities of exceedance. Results indicate that the LRM successfully predicted nearly every PFDF reaching the basin pour point. However, overall model accuracy was lowered by numerous false-positive responses, even where rainfall depths were far above LRM thresholds. Analyses of basins where rainfall was above P50 thresholds reveal a strong correlation between high false-positive responses and basins experiencing rainfall of less than about 150 to 200 percent of USGS thresholds. These false positives occurred in basins with small (0.02–0.05 km2), steep (≥23°) burned areas and in basins underlain by relatively weak geologic units that weather to produce few boulders. Identified relationships provide a basis for refining and improving existing PFDF hazard assessment modeling.

StemRegenin-1 Reverses Drug Resistance of MCF-7/ADR Cells via AhR/ABC Transports and AhR/UGTs Pathways
Authors: Zhang Yang , Ma Yu-Chen , Song Jue , Jin Yong , Bao Yan-Ni
Published: July 2024

Objectives:

Drug resistance reduces the antitumor efficacy of chemotherapy. Therefore,
it is important to know how to reverse drug resistance. In this work, we investigated drug resistance
reversal by StemRegenin-1(SR-1) in MCF-7/ADR cells and the mechanism by which it exerts
its drug resistance effect.

Methods:

MTT test and protein blot were employed as the two main in vitro cell tests. The cells
were treated with SR-1 and ADM to detect the changes in their proteomics, and then the effects of
AhR downstream proteins, glucuronidase, and drug-resistant proteins were verified. The accumulation
of ADM in the combined cells and its effect on the cell cycle were detected by flow cytometry.
In vivo, a BALB/C mice xenograft test was conducted to observe the anti-tumor effect and
side effects of the drug combination.

Results:

SR-1 combined with ADM inhibited cell proliferation and significantly decreased the expression
of CYP1A1, UGT1A6, P-gP (ABCB1), and MRP1 (ABCC1). Furthermore, SR-1 caused
apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. In vivo experiments showed that SR-1 significantly enhanced the
antitumor effects of ADM and reduced the toxic effects of ADM.

Conclusion:

SR-1 inhibited AhR activity, decreased its downstream protein CYP1A1 and the expression
of UGT1A6, P-gP, and MRP1 in MCF-7/ADR cells, and reversed drug resistance in
MCF-7/ADR cells through AhR/ABC transports and AhR/UGTs pathways.

Authors: Bazkiaei Mohammad Khedmati , Nouri Majid , Galougahi Mohammad Hassan Kazemi , Mosaddeghkhah Ali , Darvishi Mohammad
Published: July 2024

Background and Aims:

Influenza, caused by subtypes A and B of the influenza virus, can
lead to mild or severe illness and cause secondary infections. High-risk groups include pregnant
women, the elderly, and young children. Vaccination is the most effective prevention method. This
research aims to evaluate influenza vaccination coverage among healthcare providers during the
COVID-19 pandemic and analyze factors influencing vaccination rates.

Methods:

In this study, a random sample of 440 healthcare providers was selected. Data collection
involved a demographic questionnaire and a researcher-designed questionnaire focusing on influenza
knowledge, reasons for not getting vaccinated, and motivations for vaccine uptake. The questionnaire
included 21 items on hindering factors and 6 on motivating factors. Statistical analysis was
conducted using the Pearson correlation coefficient, and the reliability of the measurement tool was
assessed using Cronbach's alpha.

Results:

In this study, 42% of healthcare providers received the influenza vaccine during the
COVID-19 pandemic, while 58% did not. Prior to the pandemic, only 30.9% had received the vaccine,
compared to 69.1% who had not. Among those not vaccinated during COVID-19, the mean
score for inhibitory factors was significantly higher at 46.9, versus 41.47 for those who were vaccinated.
Vaccination rates varied significantly with age: 41.3% of those under 30 were vaccinated,
34.9% of those aged 30-40, and 54.5% of those over 40. Additionally, 78.9% of the participants were
infected with COVID-19 during the study period.

Conclusion:

The research findings indicate low influenza vaccination coverage among healthcare
providers and the need for further education to increase staff awareness about the importance of vaccination,
change individuals' perceptions of their susceptibility to influenza, and emphasize the effectiveness
of the vaccine in preventing the disease.

Differences in eHealth Access, Use, and Perceived Benefit Between Different Socioeconomic Groups in the Dutch Context: Secondary Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Standaar Lucille , van Tuyl Lilian , Suijkerbuijk Anita , Brabers Anne , Friele Roland
Published: July 2024

Background

There is a growing concern that digital health care may exacerbate existing health disparities. Digital health care or eHealth encompasses the digital apps that are used in health care. Differences in access, use, and perceived benefits of digital technology among socioeconomic groups are commonly referred to as the digital divide. Current research shows that people in lower socioeconomic positions (SEPs) use eHealth less frequently.

Objective

This study aims to (1) investigate the association between SEP and eHealth access to, use of, and perceived benefit within the adult Dutch population and (2) evaluate disparities in eHealth access, use, and perceived benefit through three socioeconomic variables—education, standardized income, and the socioeconomic status of the neighborhood.

Methods

A secondary analysis was conducted on data from the Nivel Dutch Health Care Consumer Panel (response rate 57%, 849/1500), to assess access to, use of, and perceived benefits from eHealth. These data were collected to monitor eHealth developments in the Netherlands. eHealth was examined through two concepts: (1) eHealth in general and (2) websites, apps, and wearables. Results were stratified into 9 SEP populations based on 3 indicators—education, standardized income, and socioeconomic status level of the neighborhood. Logistic regression analyses were performed to evaluate whether the outcomes varied significantly across different SEP groups. Age was included as a covariate to control for confounding.

Results

This study confirms the association between eHealth and SEP and shows that low SEP respondents have less access (odds ratio [OR] 5.72, 95% CI 3.06-10.72) and use (OR 4.96, 95% CI 2.66-9.24) of eHealth compared to medium or high SEP respondents. Differences were most profound when stratifying for levels of education.

Conclusions

The access to and use of eHealth has a socioeconomic gradient and emphasizes that SEP indicators cannot be used interchangeably to assess eHealth access and use. The results underline the importance of activities and policies aimed at improving eHealth accessibility and usage among low SEP groups to mitigate disparities in health between different socioeconomic groups.
The Association Between Solid Fuel Use and Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms Suggestive of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia in Sichuan, China: Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Yuan Qiming , Zhou Xianghong , Ma Li , Cai Boyu , Zhang Zilong , Deng Linghui , Hu Dan , Jiang Zhongyuan , Wang Mingda , Wei Qiang , Qiu Shi
Published: July 2024

Background

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a global age-related disease. It has been reported that over half of the Chinese male population aged 70 years or older are experiencing BPH. Solid fuel, which is the major source of household air pollution, has been reportedly associated with several adverse events, including sex hormone disorders. Due to the certain relationship between sex hormone levels and prostate disease, the relationship between solid fuel use and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTSs) suggestive of BPH (LUTS/BPH) deserves further exploration.

Objective

This study mainly aimed to investigate the association between solid fuel use and LUTS/BPH.

Methods

The data used in this study were obtained from the West China Natural Population Cohort Study. Household energy sources were assessed using questionnaires. LUTS/BPH was evaluated based on participant self-reports. We performed propensity score matching (PSM) to reduce the influence of bias and unmeasured confounders. The odds ratio (OR) and 95% CI of LUTS/BPH for the solid fuel group compared with the clean fuel group were calculated. We also conducted stratified analyses based on BMI, metabolic syndrome, waist to hip ratio, drinking status, smoking status, and age.

Results

A total of 5463 participants were included in this study, including 399 solid fuel users and 5064 clean fuel users. After PSM, the solid fuel group included 354 participants, while the clean fuel group included 701 participants. Solid fuel use was positively correlated with LUTS/BPH before and after PSM (OR 1.68, 95% CI 1.31‐2.15 and OR 1.81, 95% CI 1.35‐2.44, respectively). In stratified analyses, the OR of the nonsmoking group was higher than that of the smoking group (OR 2.56, 95% CI 1.56‐4.20 and OR 1.47, 95% CI 0.99‐2.18, respectively). Similarly, the OR of the nondrinking group was higher than that of the drinking group (OR 2.70, 95% CI 1.46‐4.99 and OR 1.48, 95% CI 1.01‐2.17, respectively).

Conclusions

A positive correlation between solid fuel use and LUTS/BPH was observed. The results suggest that improving fuel structure for household cooking and other household needs can possibly help reduce the risk of LUTS/BPH.

Published: July 2024

The growing adoption and use of health information technology has generated a wealth of clinical data in electronic format, offering opportunities for data reuse beyond direct patient care. However, as data are distributed across multiple software, it becomes challenging to cross-reference information between sources due to differences in formats, vocabularies, and technologies and the absence of common identifiers among software. To address these challenges, hospitals have adopted data warehouses to consolidate and standardize these data for research. Additionally, as a complement or alternative, data lakes store both source data and metadata in a detailed and unprocessed format, empowering exploration, manipulation, and adaptation of the data to meet specific analytical needs. Subsequently, datamarts are used to further refine data into usable information tailored to specific research questions. However, for efficient analysis, a feature store is essential to pivot and denormalize the data, simplifying queries. In conclusion, while data warehouses are crucial, data lakes, datamarts, and feature stores play essential and complementary roles in facilitating data reuse for research and analysis in health care.

Published: July 2024

Background

The practice of dental surgery requires a few different skills, including mental rotation of an object, precision of movement with good hand-eye coordination, and speed of technical movement. Learning these different skills begins during the preclinical phase of dental student training. Moreover, playing a musical instrument or video game seems to promote the early development of these skills. However, we found that studies specifically addressing this issue in the field of dental education are lacking.

Objective

The main aims of this study are to evaluate whether the ability to mentally represent a volume in 3D, the precision of gestures with their right and left hand, or the speed of gesture execution is better at baseline or progresses faster for players (video games or music or both).

Methods

A prospective monocentric controlled and longitudinal study will be conducted from September 2023 and will last until April 2025 in the Faculty of Dental Surgery of Nantes. Participants were students before starting their preclinical training. Different tests will be used such as Vandenberg and Kuse’s mental rotation test, the modified Precision Manual Dexterity (PMD), and performing a pulpotomy on a permanent tooth. This protocol was approved by the Ethics, Deontology, and Scientific Integrity Committee of Nantes University (institutional review board approval number IORG0011023).

Results

A total of 86 second-year dental surgery students were enrolled to participate in the study in September 2023. They will take part in 4 iterations of the study, the last of which will take place in April 2025.

Conclusions

Playing video games or a musical instrument or both could be a potential tool for initiating or facilitating the learning of certain technical skills in dental surgery.

Published: July 2024

Objective: Mechanical ventilation has been proven to be lifesaving and has significantly reduced mortality in the pediatric population. Despite its life-saving advantages, mechanical ventilation is associated with complications. The study aimed to assess the complications of mechanical ventilation in children up to 12 y of age admitted to the intensive care unit. Methods: The present descriptive, observational, cross-sectional study was conducted on 165 children aged between 0 to 12 y, who were mechanically ventilated for>48 h. Patients were observed daily until the desired result was achieved and were checked to look for complications or negative effects of mechanical ventilation. Results: The majority of subjects belonged to<1 mo of age (77.58%) whereas the maximum number of patients were male (64.24%). In 77.58% of patients, the indication for mechanical ventilation was respiratory failure. The duration of ventilation in 62.43% of patients was>7 d. A total of n=62 (37.58%) patients had ventilator-associated complications. The most common complication was ventilator-associated pneumonia (n=30, 48.38%). The mean hospital stay was found to be 22.88±7.96 d. Whereas the mean hospital stay in patients without complications was significantly less compared to patients with complications (18.57±10.09 d vs 27.19±5.83 d, P=0.00015). The mortality rate was found to be 47.27%. Conclusion: Respiratory cause was the most common indication for mechanical ventilation. The most common complication was ventilator-associated pneumonia. The subjects with complications had prolonged hospital stays.

Authors: PANIGRAHI SARITA , MISHRA TAPAS R. , MISHRA PRAGNYA P.
Published: July 2024

Objective: The pseudo-exfoliation (PEX) syndrome is a complex disorder characterized by the deposition of fibrillary materials around the blood vessels of organs. This study was conducted with the aim of knowing the actual prevalence of PEX in Western Odisha and the characteristics of cataracts in those PEX patients.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 340 OPD patients and was conducted between January 1, 2021, and December 31, 2022, at Hitech Medical College and Hospital. The prevalence of PEX and cataracts was studied. The data was analyzed using basic descriptive statistics and reported in frequencies and percentages.
Results: The study showed 74 patients out of 340 were diagnosed with pseudoexfoliation syndrome, with a prevalence of 23%. 42 patients (58%) were male and 32 (42%) were female, with a M: F ratio of 1.3:1. The mean age of presentation was 67 y (range 51–84 y), and the majority of patients (41%) were in the age group of 61–70 y. The increased intraocular pressure was noticed in 11 cases (15%) in our study. Two patients each had open-angle glaucoma and lens-induced glaucoma. Nuclear cataract was the most common type of cataract observed in 27% of the study group, followed by cortical cataract with nuclear sclerosis in 19% of cases.
Conclusion: It is concluded that pseudo-exfoliation syndrome is more common in males than in females, with a higher number of patients in the age group of 81 y and older. Therefore, it can be assumed that it is associated with the age factor. Nuclear cataract was the most common type of cataract observed in our study population.
PEUTZ-JEGHERS POLYP AS A LEAD POINT FOR ILEOCOLIC INTUSSUSCEPTION IN A YOUNG FEMALE: A CASE REPORT
Authors: HOTA SMRUTI RANJAN , MISHRA PRAGNYA PARAMITA , NANDA DEBASHIS
Published: July 2024

Intussusception is defined as the invagination of one segment of the bowel into an immediately adjacent segment of the bowel. It is common in children, and idiopathic ileocolic intussusception is the most common form. It is rare in adults, and again, hamartomatous polyposis is a rare cause of intussusception in adults. But, this complication is most frequent for patients with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS). It represents 5% of all intussusceptions and accounts for only 1–5% of intestinal obstruction in adults. PJS is a clinical diagnosis based on any one of the following World Health Organization criteria: three or more histologically confirmed Peutz-Jeghers polyps; any number of PJ polyps with a family history of PJS; characteristic, prominent, mucocutaneous pigmentation with a family history of PJS; or any number of Peutz-Jeghers polyps and characteristic prominent, mucocutaneous pigmentation. Here we report a case of intussusceptions in a 21 y old male with underlying PJ polyp in the intestine and mucocutaneous pigmentation.
