Efficacy of an Herbal Preparation (Atomy’s HemoHIM®) against Ventilator-associated Pneumonia: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
Authors: Khamooshpour Ghazal , Mahjubipour Hossein , Farsaei Shadi
Published: January 2024

Objective:

Despite the standard guideline recommendations to prevent ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), it has remained one of the common lung infections in the intensive care unit (ICU). This clinical trial was designed to evaluate the effect of HemoHIM®, a mixture of traditional Korean medicinal plants, on preventing VAP in ICU patients.

Methods:

This randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted on mechanically ventilated adult ICU patients with a clinical pulmonary infection score of VAP ≤6 in the first 48 h of ventilation. Patients in the intervention group received a packet of HemoHIM daily and orally for 7 days in addition to standard prevention strategies. However, in the control group, only standard prevention strategies were carried out. All patients were followed daily for VAP incidence for 14 days.

Findings:

The overall VAP incidence was 36.4 and 57.4 episodes per 1000 days of mechanical ventilation in the intervention and control groups, respectively (P = 0.041; odds ratio = 0.26; 95% confidence interval = 0.070–0.944). The median length of mechanical ventilation during study follow-up was significantly lower in the intervention than in the control group (P = 0.033). The number of pneumonia-free days during the study was considerably higher in the intervention group (P value of the log-rank test = 0.023).

Conclusion:

According to the results of this study, the HemoHIM herbal supplement had beneficial effects in preventing the occurrence of VAP and significantly reduced the incidence of pneumonia in the intervention group. Further comprehensive research is required to draw more accurate conclusions.
Generating series and matrix models for meandric systems with one shallow side
Authors: Fukuda Motohisa , Nechita Ion
Published: January 2024

In this article, we investigate meandric systems having one shallow side: the arch configuration on that side has depth at most two. This class of meandric systems was introduced and extensively examined by I. P. Goulden, A. Nica, and D. Puder [Int. Math. Res. Not. IMRN 2020 (2020), 983–1034]. Shallow arch configurations are in bijection with the set of interval partitions. We study meandric systems by using moment-cumulant transforms for non-crossing and interval partitions, corresponding to the notions of free and Boolean independence, respectively, in non-commutative probability. We obtain formulas for the generating series of different classes of meandric systems with one shallow side by explicitly enumerating the simpler, irreducible objects. In addition, we propose random matrix models for the corresponding meandric polynomials, which can be described in the language of quantum information theory, in particular that of quantum channels.

Authors: Stepanyantz Konstantin Viktorovich
Published: January 2024

Объединение калибровочных констант связи исследуется на классическом уровне в предположениях, что цепочка нарушения калибровочной симметрии имеет вид $E_8\to E_7\times U_1 \to E_6\times U_1 \to SO_{10}\times U_1 \to SU_5 \times U_1 \to SU_3 \times SU_2 \times U_1$ и только компоненты представления 248 $E_8$ могут приобретать вакуумные средние. Продемонстрировано, что имеются несколько вариантов соотношений между калибровочными константами связи получающейся теории, но только один вариант нарушения симметрии соответствует равенствам $\alpha_3=\alpha_2$ и $\sin^2\theta_\mathrm{W}=3/8$. Кроме того, только для этого варианта состав частиц получающейся теории включает все суперполя минимальной суперсимметричной Стандартной модели. Также замечено, что этот вариант нарушения симметрии соответствует случаю, когда все представления, которые приобретают вакуумные средние, имеют минимальные модули соответствующих $U_1$-зарядов.

Comparative efficacy and safety between endoscopic submucosal dissection, surgery and definitive chemoradiotherapy in patients with cT1N0M0 esophageal cancer
Authors: Luo Shu-Ai , Sun Yu-Ying , Zeng Ya-Ting , Huang Chun-Yu
Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND

Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and surgical resection are the standard of care for cT1N0M0 esophageal cancer (EC), whereas definitive chemoradiotherapy (d-CRT) is a treatment option. Nevertheless, the comparative efficiency and safety of ESD, surgery and d-CRT for cT1N0M0 EC remain unclear.

AIM

To compare the efficiency and safety of ESD, surgery and d-CRT for cT1N0M0 EC.

METHODS

We retrospectively analyzed the hospitalized data of a total of 472 consecutive patients with cT1N0M0 EC treated at Sun Yat-sen University Cancer center between 2017-2019 and followed up until October 30th, 2022. We analyzed demographic, medical recorded, histopathologic characteristics, imaging and endoscopic, and follow-up data. The Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazards modeling were used to analyze the difference of survival outcome by treatments. Inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) was used to minimize potential confounding factors.

RESULTS

We retrospectively analyzed patients who underwent ESD (n = 99) or surgery (n = 220) or d-CRT (n = 16) at the Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center from 2017 to 2019. The median follow-up time for the ESD group, the surgery group, and the d-CRT group was 42.0 mo (95%CI: 35.0-60.2), 45.0 mo (95%CI: 34.0-61.75) and 32.5 mo (95%CI: 28.3-40.0), respectively. After adjusting for background factors using IPTW, the highest 3-year overall survival (OS) rate and 3-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) rate were observed in the ESD group (3-year OS: 99.7% and 94.7% and 79.1%; and 3-year RFS: 98.3%, 87.4% and 79.1%, in the ESD, surgical, and d-CRT groups, respectively). There was no difference of severe complications occurring between the three groups (P ≥ 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that treatment method, histology and depth of infiltration were independently associated with OS and RFS.

CONCLUSION

For cT1N0M0 EC, ESD had better long-term survival and lower hospitalization costs than those who underwent d-CRT and surgery, with a similar rate of severe complications occurring.
Coca-Cola consumption vs fragmentation in the management of patients with phytobezoars: A prospective randomized controlled trial
Authors: Liu Fu-Guo , Meng De-Feng , Shen Xia , Meng Dan , Liu Ying , Zhang Ling-Yun
Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND

Gastric phytobezoars (GPBs) are very common in northern China. Combined therapy involving carbonated beverage consumption and endoscopic lithotripsy has been shown to be effective and safe. Existing studies on this subject are often case reports highlighting the successful dissolution of phytobezoars through Coca-Cola consumption. Consequently, large-scale prospective investigations in this domain remain scarce. Therefore, we conducted a randomized controlled trial to examine the effects of Coca-Cola consumption on GPBs.

AIM

To evaluate the impact of Coca-Cola on GPBs, including the dissolution rate, medical expenses, ulcer rate, and operation time.

METHODS

A total of 160 consecutive patients diagnosed with GPBs were allocated into two groups (a control group and an intervention group) through computer-generated randomization. Patients in the intervention group received a Coca-Cola-based regimen (Coca-Cola 2000-4000 mL per day for 7 d), while those in the control group underwent emergency fragmentation.

RESULTS

Complete dissolution of GPBs was achieved in 100% of the patients in the intervention group. The disparity in expenses between the control group and intervention group (t = 25.791, P = 0.000) was statistically significant, and the difference in gastric ulcer occurrence between the control group and intervention group (χ 2 = 6.181, P = 0.013) was also statistically significant.

CONCLUSION

Timely ingestion of Coca-Cola yields significant benefits, including a complete dissolution rate of 100%, a low incidence of gastric ulcers, no need for fragmentation and reduced expenses.

Published: January 2024

The Mayaro virus (MAYV) is a significant reemerging arbovirus of public health concern, responsible for outbreaks in several countries including Brazil. In this study, 857 samples of patients with acute fever in the state of Rondônia, Brazil, were analyzed by reverse transcriptase qualitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) to detect Zika, dengue, and chikungunya viruses. The mean age of the population was 38 years (SD = 17.46). Negative samples were subjected to duplex RT-qPCR to detect MAYV and Oropouche virus. One MAYV-positive sample with a negative result for all other viruses tested was identified and subsequently sequenced using the automated Sanger method and, through phylogenetic analysis, was characterized as belonging to genotype D, making it the first case of Mayaro in humans isolated in Rondônia. The symptoms reported by the positive patient were fever, vomiting, back pain, nausea, severe arthralgia, and retro-orbital pain. The study reinforces the need for differential diagnosis for Mayaro in the laboratory routine and the importance of genomic surveillance of this virus, mainly due to the similarity of symptoms with other arboviruses, which makes this screening difficult.

Introduction: Traditional didactic lectures make classes monotonous and lead to reduced student engagement and interaction. Gamification can be used to break the monotony. Use of game elements in a non-gaming context is gamification. Simple digital tools can be used for gamification. We conducted this study to evaluate the student perceptions on gamification in medical education. Methodology: This study was carried out in the department of Pathology. MBBS phase II students who attended all the gamification sessions were included in the study. Gamification was done for sub-topics on Neoplasia, using digital tools like Slido, Socrative, google forms and crossword. Student perceptions were taken on validated questionnaire on a 5-point Likert scale. One open-ended question was given. Statistical analysis was done using frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation. Results: A total of 72 students responded to the questionnaire. Students liked google forms the most followed by Slido. The findings of the study showed that students felt that gamification increases knowledge retention, understanding, improves engagement and satisfaction, enhances motivation, and improves overall learning experience. Students felt that gamification increases opportunities for interaction with faculty. For the questions on perceptions, the highest mean score was 4.33 and the lowest score was 3.97. Students recommended more quizzes with images and gamification for other subjects and classes too. Conclusion: Gamification was well-received by the students. Students perceive that gamification improves their learning and retention. Gamification can be used in teaching to make classes more interesting and to increase student motivation.

An Optimality Analysis of English Consonantal Adaptation in Standard Arabic
Authors: Al-Qudah Fatima Zaki , Mahadin Radwan Salem
Published: January 2024

The present study investigates the phonological processes involved in the nativization process of English consonants onto Standard Arabic and provides an account of such processes within Optimality Theory (OT). Specifically, the merits of the analysis shed light on the consonantal alterations attested in Standard Arabic loanword corpus by the examination of the adequate phonological adjustment mechanisms used in the integration process of English consonants within OT. The study reveals that several phonological processes are attested, namely: voicing, devoicing, emphasization, affrication and deaffrication, uvularization, fronting and metathesis. In addition, results have stressed the role of both markedness and the phonological distinctive features of natural classes on the integration process. The study reveals that the consonantal alterations attested are grounded on the domination of the markedness constraints, which condition rendering the output less marked in SA, over the faithfulness constraints, which exert effort in preserving the output faithful to the input.

The proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices in the smart grid infrastructure has enabled the generation of massive amounts of sensor data. This wealth of data presents an opportunity to implement sophisticated data analytics techniques for predictive maintenance in smart grids. Anomaly detection using machine learning algorithms has emerged as a promising approach to identifying irregular patterns and deviations in sensor data, leading to proactive maintenance strategies. This article explores theapplication of machine learning techniques for anomaly detection in IoT sensor data to enable predictive maintenance in smart grids. We delve into various machine learning algorithms, including Isolation Forest, One-Class SVM, Autoencoders, and Random Forest, assessing their capabilities in identifying anomalies in large-scale data streams. The study also reviews the Performance Evaluation and Model Selection techniques for Anomaly Detection in IoT Sensor Data, possible integration and deployment challenges, and critique of the few selected studies. Explicitly, this scholarly inquiry questions the profound significance of predictive maintenance within the context of Smart Grids. It elucidates distinct categories of anomalies inherent within IoT Sensor Data.Furthermore, the article expounds upon various classes of Machine Learning Algorithms while also clarifying the criteria employed for their selection. Notably, the study probes the potential hindrances that could emerge during the deployment and integration of Machine Learning Techniques specifically aimed at Anomaly Detection in IoT Sensor Data. In addition, the research sheds light on the aspects that might have been inadvertently overlooked within the existing corpus of literature.
Formas de intervención administrativa en el urbanismo andaluz. Licencias, declaraciones responsables y comunicaciones previas
Authors: Martín Valdivia Salvador María
Published: January 2024

Con la publicación de la Directiva de Servicios de 2006, la tarea administrativa de control de actividades y servicios se ha alterado drásticamente. Lo que hasta ese entonces se entendía como el más eficaz y casi unitario método de control (las licencias previas) han dejado de ser, desde luego, el modo único, para pasar a ser, incluso, el subsidiario. Las declaraciones responsables y, en menor medida, las comunicaciones previas son el medio más común de “control”, y su operatividad comporta que, en esa tarea de intervención del cumplimiento de la norma, se distribuya la responsabilidad entre Administración y ciudadano, tal y como nos proponía aquella Directiva de Servicios. Ello ha permitido un vuelco conceptual importante en el panorama administrativo español. Sus efectos tienen, desde luego, presencia indudable en la vida local, pero también se extienden a aspectos ambientales, registrales, incluso de responsabilidad civil entre promotores y técnicos, lo que terminará por ser definitivamente aquilatado en la jurisprudencia que está por venir y que terminará por definir los precisos contornos de esta nueva propuesta normativa.

Published: January 2024

Indonesia’s rank in world was 5th on stunting case. 5 million of children under five (38.6 % from 12 milion) got stunting in Indonesia. The aims of this study were to descript the social construction of rural-urban community about the meaning of children’s health and illness, and the pattern of nurturing which was related to stunting. The study used qualitative’s method, datas collected with depth interview and observation partisipation. The study was conducted in rural-urban communities which had stunting cases in Jember (Kalisat and Jelbuk). The study was conducted in June to December 2013. The study showed that stunting were related to social construction. Difference social construction in rural-urban which constructed the meaning of healthy or illness and nuruturing the stunting’s children was affected by maternal education, early-age marriage, after marriage’s residence, responsibilities of nurturing, and valuable concept in community that causes the lack of knowledge about nutrition. The study concluded that stunting was not a single cause of heatlh’s problems, but it related to social construction. Causes lied in the distinction of social construction, patterns of communication and interpretation between health providers and community, so there was no meeting point for the success of nutritional improvement children under five’s programs. Kejadian balita pendek (stunting) di Indonesia masih menempati urutan ke-5 di dunia. Terdapat lima Juta (38,6% dari 12 juta) Balita di Indonesia yang memiliki tinggi badan dengan kategori pendek. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menggambarkan konstruksi sosial masyarakat perdesaan dan perkotaan terkait pemaknaan sehat dan sakit pada balita, dan pola pengasuhan anak terkait dengan stunting. Metode penelitian adalah kualitatif. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan cara wawancara mendalam dan observasi partisipasi. Penelitian dilakukan di wilayah perkotaan (Kecematan Kalisat) dan perdesaan (Kecamatan Jelbuk) dengan kasus stunting tertinggi di Kabupaten Jember. Waktu penelitian adalah 7 bulan (Juni-Desember 2013). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa masalah stunting terkait erat dengan konstruksi sosial masyarakat. Terdapat perbedaan konstruksi sosial yang membentuk pemahaman sehat/sakit dan pola asuh balita stunting di perdesaan dan perkotaan di Jember. Konstruksi sosial tersebut dipengaruhi oleh pendidikan ibu, usia perkawinan dini, tempat tinggal setelah menikah, tanggung jawab pengasuhan balita, dan prioritas ekonomi pada masyarakat yang menyebabkan minimnya pengetahuan masyarakat tentang gizi. Hasil penelitian menyimpulkan bahwa kejadian stunting bukan merupakan akibat tunggal masalah kesehatan balita, namun terkait erat dengan konstruksi sosial masyarakat. Penyebabnya terletak pada perbedaan konstruksi sosial yang dibangun, pola komunikasi dan pemaknaan antara tenaga kesehatan dengan masyarakat, sehingga tidak ada titik temu untuk keberhasilan program peningkatan gizi balita.

This study aims to examines six financial ratios on the manufacture companies. The six financial ratios are profitability (ROA and ROE), liquidity ratio (CR and QR), solvency ratio (DAR and DER), activity ratio (TATO), sales growth (SG) and market value (EPS and MBV). Variable Y are used binary. To determine the binary variable, the researcher uses a proxy where the company is experiencing financial distress if 1) the company has negative equity for two consecutive years, 2) the company experienced negative net income for two consecutive years (Luu Thu, 2023). The sample selection is based on the purposive sampling method, in order to obtain a sample of 147 companies. The analytical method used in this research is logistic analysis. The software in this study uses STATA17. The 33% of manufacturing companies studied were companies that experienced financial distress. This result of this study concludes that: 1) ROA_X1, ROE_X2, QR_X4, and TATO_X7 variables have a significant negative effect on financial distress. 2) The variables DAR_X5, and MBV_X10 have a significant positive effect on financial distress. 3) CR_X3, DER_X6, SG_X8 and EPS_X9 have no significant relationship with financial distress.
Classificação e anotação in silico de genomas virais relacionados ao filo Cressdnaviricota
Authors:   , Gomes Ruither Arthur Loch
Published: January 2024

Os vírus afetam ciclos biogeoquímicos e infectam organismos em todos os ambientes da terra. Avanços em diferentes tecnologias, como o sequenciamento de alto rendimento e a biologica computacional, trouxeram luz sobre a real diversidade e abundância dos vírus. Uma das consequências mais importantes foi a descoberta de um imenso número de sequências virais, porém sem similaridade com vírus previamente caracterizados. Enquanto a classificação taxonômica dos vírus havia sido feita por décadas com base em características fenotípicas, essa nova realidade gerou a necessidade da utilização direta das sequências, mesmo na ausência de qualquer informação biológica, para a classificação taxonômica. Com esse novo panorama de farta disponibilidade de dados de sequência, avanços no poder computacional e de aprendizado de máquina surgiram como ferramentas essenciais para classificação e anotação das sequências derivadas desse "dilúvio de dados". Diversas ferramentas computacionais vêm sendo propostas e desenvolvidas usando diferentes abordagens para trabalhar com esses dados, e o aprendizado de máquina vem se destacando por sua alta acurácia de predição. Na taxonomia, diferentes abordagens vem sendo aplicadas para grupos específicos de vírus, e só recentemente foi desenvolvido um algoritmo, VirusTaxo, para classificação taxonômica de todos os tipos de vírus com acurácia considerável. Entre as diversas famílias de vírus, algumas se enquadram dentro de um grupo de vírus com genomas de DNA de fita simples circulares e pequenos, que codificam uma proteína relacionada à replicação que é relativamente conservada entre seus membros. Esses vírus, classificados no filo Cressdnaviricota, são exemplares interessantes para se avaliar métodos in silico de classificação e análise de funções gênicas. Assim, na primeira parte desse trabalho, foi avaliada a capacidade das redes neurais convolucionais para classificar taxonomicamente os cressdnavírus. Foi possível obter uma acurácia nos dados de teste superior ao VirusTaxo, a ferramenta com maior capacidade de predição taxonômica atualmente. Na segunda parte, foram utilizadas ferramentas computacionais para identificar possíveis pequenas ORFs funcionais em alfassatélites associados a begomovírus que possam estar relacionadas a variações de sintomas observadas entre alfassatélites do Novo Mundo e do Velho Mundo e foi possível identificar duas pequenas ORF com domínios funcionais preditos.

Introduction: In Indonesia, 82% of children with otitis media have experienced chronic otitis media (COM). COM has a high recurrency rate and is multifactorial, one of which is caused by acid reflux. Proton pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy has been used to treat acid reflux and gives excellent result. Purpose: Reporting one case of a child with COM and laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) who received PPI therapy. An evidence-based literature review was done to evaluate the effectiveness of PPI therapy in patient with COM and LPR.Methods: Literature searching was done through 3 databases. Critical appraisal based on the Oxford Center for Evidence Based Medicine Checklists 2011.Results: After we sorted out duplications and screened articles according to our inclusion and exclusion criteria, we retrieved one article. This article is valid and applicable, yet PPI therapy did not give significant clinical improvement because of some reasons.Conclusion: From the literature review, PPI therapy on patient with COM did not give significant clinical improvement such as to stop middle ear discharge, yet in our case, PPI therapy could produce a clinical improvement and in line with previous experimental studies. Therefore, PPI therapy could still be considered given in children with COM.
