Authors: Ikhsal Muhammad Fachry , Dermawan Budi Arif , Adam Riza Ibnu
Published: August 2023

Kegagalan sistem deteksi kecelakaan pada kamera CCTV dapat berpengaruh pada peningkatan angka kematian di jalan raya. Penggunaan metode CNN dalam pembangunan sistem deteksi kecelakaan CCTV sudah banyak dilakukan sebelumnya. Namun, masalah umum yang sering ditemui yaitu lensa yang kotor dan zoom varifocal yang tidak fokus secara otomatis membuat kualitas citra CCTV yang dihasilkan mengalami penurunan, sehingga berpengaruh kepada performa sistem. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan pembangunan model untuk mendeteksi kecelakaan pada citra CCTV menggunakan pre-trained model MobileNetV2 yang dilakukan optimasi dengan melakukan upscaling pada dataset menggunakan model Real-ESRGAN untuk menghasilkan performa yang lebih optimal. Penelitian ini menggunakan dataset citra CCTV yang berjumlah 989 dan terdiri dari 2 jenis kelas prediksi diantaranya accident dan non-accident. Hasil penelitian diperoleh model MobileNetV2 berhasil menghasilkan validation accuracy 97%, testing accuracy 94% dan average inference time 3.33 detik pada skenario uji GT. Selama proses uji, didapatkan bahwa model kurang optimal jika mengidentifikasi data baru dengan kondisi objek yang berkerumunan. Selain itu, berdasarkan skenario uji X2,X4,X8 didapatkan bahwa kualitas citra yang dihitung berdasarkan nilai PSNR dan SSIM sangat berpengaruh pada performa klasifikasi seperti Akurasi, precision, recall, dan AUC score.

Consumer risk perception and behavior change intentions
Authors: Katica Vahidin , Arslanagić-Kalajdžić Maja , Smajić Emina
Published: August 2023

This manuscript addresses behavior change intentions and consumer risk perceptions in the context of uncertainty and crisis such as the Covid-19 pandemic. Based on the theory of planned behavior and health behavior theories, a conceptual framework is developed that focuses on the role of attitudes toward the Covid-19 pandemic, their determinants in the context of the public campaign conducted, and the resulting behavior change intentions. The empirical study, based on an actual campaign and a representative nationwide sample in a developing country, is conducted to test the developed hypotheses. The results suggest that information search is relevant to predicting attitudes and intention to change behavior. At the same time, exposure to the campaign is directly relevant to motivating the target audience to change their behavior. There is also a gap between attitude and behavior, but it is bridged by perceived risk, which plays a vital moderating role when rated high or low. Finally, in the presence of this moderating effect, an indirect effect of information search on behavior change intention is confirmed by attitudes toward the Covid-19 pandemic. Overall, this study provides valuable insights for research in health behavior and crisis management.

Published: August 2023

This study looks into the many methods that are used in the risk assessment procedure that is used in the construction industry nowadays. As a result of the slow adoption of novel assessment methods, professionals frequently resort to strategies that have previously been validated as being successful. When it comes to risk assessment, having a precise analytical tool that uses the cost of risk as a measurement and draws on the knowledge of professionals could potentially assist bridge the gap between theory and practice. This step will examine relevant literature, sort articles according to their published year, and identify domains and qualities. Consequently, the most significant findings have been presented in a manner that is consistent with logic and is predicated on the temporal evolution between 1990 and 2015.
Risk Response in Construction Project: A Review Study
Authors: Ghaeb Hiba O. , Mahjoob Ahmed Mohammed Raoof
Published: August 2023

Construction projects are characterized as projects with multi phases and activities, complex, unique, and have many different parties and stakeholders. Risks could appear at one or more of the construction project stages and may affect the achievement of project objectives. Therefore, one of the key elements in the planning phase of any project is the risk management process (RMP). This study attempts to understand the terminology of risk in general, risk management, and response to risk in particular. This study is mainly a review of thirty-eight studies that have been published between 1997 and 2020 that demonstrate the importance of the crucial phase of risk response from the risk management process and its impact on the project objectives, as well as the tools and methodologies that project managers and decision-makers could use to handle the risks to reduce the negative effects of risks on the success of the construction projects. This study concludes that risk response should be considered an essential activity to complete the RMP, which will lead to minimizing the losses due to risks, maximizing the benefits due to opportunities, and achieving the objectives of projects.
Trabalho e saúde nos estabelecimentos prisionais baianos
Authors: Gomes Sandro Jose
Published: August 2023

Esta pesquisa analisa as relações entre os estressores, o coping, os sintomas de estresse e o estilo de liderança e suas implicações na atividade gerencial nas unidades prisionais da Bahia. A pesquisa foi correlacional e descritiva, dentro de análises quantitativas, com a aplicação de testes psicométricos (EVENT, ISSL, ETC, EAEG) e um questionário. A amostra estava formada por 320 agentes e 80 gerentes prisionais. Foi encontrado um alto nível de estresse na população estudada, ficando evidente que a variável EVENT tem um efeito significativo no ETC (B = 0,095; p = 0,003), indicando que o aumento da pressão no trabalho provoca aumento no uso de estratégias de coping. Encontrou-se ainda uma correlação positiva do estilo de liderança focado nas tarefas (r = 0,112; p < 0,05) com os sintomas de estresse. O estudo mostra que a eficácia do gerente prisional sob uma condição de elevado estresse consiste no desenvolvimento de redes de relações que o ajuda a decidir em tais circunstâncias.

Prática Policial e o Not Being-at-ease
Authors: Bertassoni da Silva Guilherme , Miranda da Cunha Vargas Raíssa , Furtado Holanda Adriano
Published: August 2023

A segurança pública é dever do Estado definido na Constituição Federal de 1988. A estrutura da vida policial é rígida, hierarquizada de maneira significativamente anacrônica com o desenvolvimento do mundo do trabalho na atualidade. Ademais, a organização policial é recorrente tema de debates, nos quais, rotineiramente, a população questiona sua credibilidade. Ainda que seja visto desta forma, o policial é geralmente um profissional advindo da classe média baixa ou baixa e que atua muito próximo aos seus locais de moradia e convívio social. A dificuldade dos policiais em separar o aspecto pessoal e profissional tem sido indicada como um foco importante de sofrimento psíquico para este trabalhador. Por meio dessas considerações, pretende-se vincular a prática policial com conceito de not being-at-ease da fenomenologia de Mariana Ortega e apontar para estratégias de prevenção e enfrentamento ao adoecimento psíquico desses profissionais.

Published: August 2023

Background: Bivalirudin reduces ischemic and hemorrhagic events in patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), but the safety and efficacy for such individuals are unclear. Our aim was to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of bivalirudin in patients undergoing elective PCI. Methods: We examined 957 patients with bivalirudin anticoagulation and 1713 patients with unfractionated heparin (UFH) anticoagulation with and without glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors (GPI). The primary endpoint was net adverse clinical events (NACE), a composite of death, myocardial infarction, revascularization, stent thrombosis, stroke, and bleeding. The secondary endpoints were bleeding and major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE). Results: In one year of follow-up, 307 (11.5%) NACEs, 72 (2.7%) bleedings, and 249 (9.3%) MACCEs occurred. Statistically, patients with bivalirudin anticoagulation had less NACE [hazard ratio (HR): 0.75, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.58–0.96, p = 0.021] and bleeding (HR: 0.58, 95% CI: 0.34–0.99, p = 0.045) but not less MACCE, than did those with UFH anticoagulation. Furthermore, the risk of bleeding in the bivalirudin group was lower than in the UFH with GPI group (p = 0.001) but not lower than in the group of UFH without GPI (p = 0.197). Conclusions: In patients who undergo elective PCI, the use of bivalirudin significantly decreased the risk of NACE and bleeding without increasing the risk of MACCE; the reduction of bleeding risk with bivalirudin was mainly attributed to the presence of GPIs in the UFH group.
Prognostic Value of Urinary N-Acetyl-β-d-Glucosaminidase as a Marker of Tubular Damage in Patients with Heart Failure and Mitral Regurgitation
Authors: Zhao Tingting , Chen Guanzhong , Zhu Shiyu , Zhao Chengchen , Jin Chunna , Xie Yao , Xiang Meixiang
Published: August 2023

Background: Mitral regurgitation (MR) has a high prevalence and aggravates hypoperfusion and hypoxia in heart failure (HF). Renal tubular epithelial cells are sensitive to hypoxia, and therefore tubulointerstitial damage is quite common in HF. However, the correlation between tubular dysfunction and MR has not been studied. The aim of this work was to evaluate the prognostic significance of urinary N-acetyl-β-d-glucosaminidase (uNAG), a biomarker of renal tubular damage, in patients with HF and MR. Methods: This was a prospective cohort study of 390 patients (mean age 64 years; 65.6% male) with uNAG measurement on admission (expressed as urinary NAG/urinary creatinine) and at least 1 year of follow-up data. The pre-defined primary endpoint was the composite of all-cause mortality or rehospitalization for HF after discharge. Cox regression analysis, restricted cubic splines, and subgroup analysis were used to investigate the prognostic value of uNAG modeled as a categorical (quartiles) or continuous (per SD increase) variable. Results: A total of 153 (39.23%) patients reached the composite endpoint over a median follow-up time of 1.2 years. The uNAG level correlated with the severity of HF and with the incidence of adverse events. In a multivariable Cox regression model, each SD (13.80 U/g⋅Cr) of increased uNAG was associated with a 17% higher risk of death or HF rehospitalization (95% confidence interval, 2–33%, p = 0.022), and a 19% higher risk of HF rehospitalization (p = 0.027). Subgroup analysis revealed the associations between uNAG and poor prognosis were only significant in younger patients (≤65 years) and in patients without obvious cardiovascular comorbidities. Conclusions: uNAG levels at admission were associated with the risk of adverse outcomes in patients with HF and MR. Additional studies are needed to further investigate the heart-kidney interaction.
The Effectiveness and Safety of Intensive Lipid-Lowering with Different Rosuvastatin-Based Regimens in Patients at High Cardiovascular Disease Risk: A Nonblind, Randomized, Controlled Trial
Authors: Lin Lili , Luo Sihua , Cai Kuan , Huang Huanliang , Liang Hao , Zhong Liqin , Xu Yunhong
Published: August 2023

Background: A statin alone or non-statins as add-ons have been introduced to intensive low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) -lowering therapy in patients at risk for high cardiovascular disease (CVD). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of different rosuvastatin-based regimens for patients at high risk. Methods: Three hundred patients at high CVD risk were randomly assigned to the statin group (rosuvastatin, 20 mg/d), statin_EZ group (statin 10 mg/d + ezetimibe 10 mg/d), statin_pcsk group (statin 10 mg/d + alirocumab 75 mg/2 weeks) or combine3 group (statin 10 mg/d + ezetimibe 10 mg/d + alirocumab 75 mg/2 weeks). The primary outcome measure was cholesterol levels after 24 weeks of follow-up. Secondary outcomes included safety markers and the proportion of patients achieving the 70 mg/dL (1.8 mmol/L) target for LDL-C. A logistic regression model was performed to explore the factors affecting lipid target achievement. Results: The total cholesterol (TC) and LDL-C levels in the four groups after treatment were significantly lower than those before treatment. TC and LDL-C levels after treatment were significantly different among the four groups (p < 0.05). The levels in both the combine3 and statin_pcsk9 groups were significantly lower than those in the statin and statin_EZ groups (p < 0.05), but there was no significant difference between the combine3 and statin_pcsk9 groups. Fifty-one participants (69%) in the statin_pcsk9 group and 56 participants (78%) in the combine3 group achieved the target. Body mass index (BMI) and hypertensive status were related to LDL-C target achievement. The incidence of adverse events in the four groups was low. Conclusions: The combination of a statin and a PCSK9 inhibitor was safe and more effective for the treatment of high-risk CVD patients, while the addition of ezetimibe was unable to significantly lower lipid levels any further. The rate of achieving the target was higher in patients with hypertension and a low BMI.

Published: August 2023

Background: Bacterial drug resistance still constitutes a major clinical issue. In the present study, the in vitro antibacterial potential, and modes of action of Elephantopus mollis were investigated. Methods: The antibacterial activity of methanol extracts of the various parts of E. mollis, their association with an efflux pump inhibitor, phenylalanine-arginine β-naphthylamide (PAβN) and the potentiating effect of several standard antibiotics were determined using the broth microdilution method. The effects of E. mollis leaf extract on H+ proton pump/ATPase function and bacterial growth kinetics were determined using standard methods. Phytochemical screening of the extracts was carried out using standard qualitative methods. Results: The crude extract (botanicals) from E. mollis leaf and flower had antibacterial activity with a 100% inhibition spectrum against bacterial strains and isolates with MICs ranging from 16 to 256 µg/mL and 64 to 1024 µg/mL respectively. Botanicals from the leaf extract showed excellent activity with a MIC of 16 µg/mL against K. pneumoniae KP55, a MIC of 32 µg/mL against K. pneumoniae (K2), and P. stuartti (NEA16). Botanicals from the leaf extract inhibited the exponential growth phase and H+-proton pump/ATPases of K. pneumoniae ATCC11296. In the presence of PAβN, the activity of E. mollis extracts was improved on 90% (leaves and flowers) and 63% (roots) of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial strains and isolates. The various extracts of E. mollis potentiated the activities of the antibiotics: doxycycline, levofloxacin, vancomycin, imipenem, ceftriaxone, and ciprofloxacin against at least 70% of bacterial strains and isolates, with factors of increase in activity ranging from 2 to 128. Extracts from all parts of E. mollis contained alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, and phenols. Conclusion: The results show that E. mollis is a source of antibacterial phytomedicine that can be used to treat bacterial infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria expressing MDR phenotypes. Keywords: Antibiotics; Asteraceae; bacteria; efflux pumps; Elephantopus mollis; multidrug resistance.

The Gothic genre, known for its eerie atmospheres,psychological complexities, and dark settings, has found a unique place in war literature. Byanalyzing selected British and American war fiction works, this study aims to shed light on howGothic elements contribute to the exploration of characters' identities in the context of war. Thepaper examines the portrayal of haunted pasts, fragmented selves, and psychological turmoilwithin the war narrative, seeking to understand how these themes intertwine with identity theories.Through this analysis, the paper aims to deepen the understanding of the intricate relationshipbetween war experiences and the construction and deconstruction of individual and collectiveidentities in Gothic war fiction.
Submission to “The worsening rental crisis in Australia” Senate Inquiry
Authors: Murray Cameron
Published: August 2023

•After eight years of rents rising slower than other consumer prices, rents have now begun rising more quickly. •If this is a rental crisis today, then almost every year for the past two centuries has been a rental crisis. •The rental price adjustments being observed in Australia and globally in 2022 and 2023 reflect the normal operation of housing markets. •Cheaper housing is usually achieved by public provision of subsidised rental or ownership options, as it was historically in Australia, and is today in many places.•Outside of these effective options, outcomes in private rental markets can be marginally improved by smoothing out sudden changes in rents. •This can be done by regulating how quickly rents can be increased in a period, usually at a rate linked to a local price index, such as CPI inflation plus 3% points.•To avoid tenants being evicted in order to raise rents above this limit, protections can be enacted to enable tenants to stay, even at the end of a fixed-term lease, by limiting evictions to only being allowed for three reasons:1. The landlord selling2. The landlord moving into the home3. Major renovations being undertaken.•Claims that supply will fix rents, or stories about landlords selling if rents are regulated in any way, should be ignored. These stories are told by groups whose financial interests align with higher rents, not lower rents.
ITGAL is differentially expressed in central nervous system metastasis.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: August 2023

Metastasis to the brain occurs in a significant fraction of patients with breast cancer and lung cancer (1-3). We mined published RNA-sequencing and multiplexed gene expression data (4, 5), comparing primary and brain metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with metastasis to the CNS. We found that integrin subunit alpha L, encoded by ITGAL, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Multiplexed gene expression data (5) revealed conserved differential expression of ITGAL in CNS metastasis in patients with lung cancer. ITGAL mRNA was present at decreased quantities in metastasis to the brain in humans with lung cancer. Primary tumor expression of ITGAL correlated with overall, distant metastasis-free and recurrence-free survival. Modulation of ITGAL expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the primary organ site to the brain in humans with lung cancer and breast cancer.

Published: August 2023

Kalangan Pentakosta sering mengidentikkan dirinya dengan gereja zaman rasuli (gereja mula-mula), khususnya pada penekanan doktrinal dan praktikal tentang dinamika karya Roh Kudus. Mereka meyakini bahwa semua karya Roh Kudus yang terjadi di gereja masa rasuli sebagai mana dicatat dalam Perjanjian Baru, khususnya Kisah Para Rasul, seharusnya juga masih berlangsung dalam kehidupan gereja masa kini. Untuk menggali karakteristik khotbah Pentakostal, digunakan jenis penelitian kualitatif deskriptif biblikal dengan prinsip hermeneutika analisis arti kata. Penyelidikan dilakukan pada kata atau frasa dalam suatu kalimat dengan mencermati teks Alkitab, baik dalam bahasa asli maupun terjemahannya, memperhatikan genre dan gaya sastra dari bagian yang ditelaah, menggali arti kata, melihat konteks dan juga bagian yang parallel secara sistimatis baik dalam kitab Kisah Para Rasul dan Alkitab secara menyeluruh.

Das 4K-Rätsel – Wie Schule Kompetenzen fördern soll, die keine sind
Authors: Daumiller Martin , Wisniewksi Benedikt
Published: August 2023

Schulen sollen Lernenden sogenannte 21st century skills vermitteln. In der Pädagogik ist hierbei vor allem das Modell der 4K (Kommunikation, Kollaboration, kritisches Denken und Kreativität) populär. Aus psychologischer Sicht ist aus mehrfacher Hinsicht fraglich, inwieweit es sich bei diesen skills um Merkmale handelt, die durch die Institution sinnvoll gefördert werden können. Es ist sogar fraglich, ob es sich überhaupt um skills handelt.
Serial dependence in visual cognition is stimulus-specific
Authors: Bae Gi-Yeul
Published: August 2023

The processing of new stimulus information is systematically biased by the information obtained in the recent past, even when the information is completely irrelevant to the current behavior. This serial dependency is known as a general perceptual phenomenon that occurs for a wide variety of visual features. However, it remains unclear whether this effect applies uniformly to all stimulus values within a visual feature. Here, the present study used orientation perception to investigate the stimulus-specificity in serial dependence. In two orientation estimation tasks, I found that the magnitude of serial dependence varied systematically across different stimulus orientations: serial dependence was larger for non-cardinal orientations compared to cardinal orientations. In addition, the serial dependence for the same orientation varied systematically depending on the relative positions of the nearest cardinal axis and the previous-trial orientation. When the directions of cardinal bias and the serial dependency for a given stimulus were inconsistent, serial dependence was reduced or completely removed. This stimulus-specificity in serial dependency was replicated in a follow-up experiment in which the use of the response-preparation strategy was prevented. Together, the present study demonstrates that serial dependency is not uniform across different stimulus values and suggests that the current models in serial dependency should incorporate mechanisms for stimulus-specificity to fully explain how the current information processing is influenced by past experiences.
A signal detection perspective on error and unfairness detection as a critical aspect of human oversight of AI-based systems
Authors: Langer Markus , Baum Kevin , Schlicker Nadine
Published: August 2023

Legislation and ethical guidelines around the globe call for effective human oversight of the use of AI-based systems in high-risk contexts – that is oversight that reduces the risks associated with the use of AI-based systems. Such risks may relate to the imperfect accuracy of systems (e.g., incorrect classifications) or to ethical concerns (e.g., unfairness of outputs). Given the significant role that human oversight is expected to play in the operation of AI-based systems, it is crucial to gain a better understanding of the conditions for effective oversight. In this paper, we build on the literature on the management of imperfect automation to show that the reliable detection of errors or other deviant behavior is crucial for the effective management of these errors and thus crucial for effective oversight. We then propose that Signal Detection Theory (SDT) offers a promising framework for better understanding what affects people’s sensitivity (i.e., how well they are able to detect errors) and response bias (i.e., the tendency to report errors given a perceived evidence of an error) in detecting errors. To demonstrate the broad applicability of an SDT perspective to the study of error detection when overseeing AI-based systems, we then explicate the specifics for the case of unfairness detection. Additionally, we propose factors (task-, system-, and person-related factors) that may affect the sensitivity and response bias of humans tasked with detecting unfairness associated with the use of AI-based systems. Finally, we discuss implications and future research directions for an SDT perspective on error detection.
Personality, Political Party Identification, and Partisan News Consumption: A Replication and Extension in the Context of the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Dunnum Zoe , Neal Jennifer Watling
Published: August 2023

In previous research, individuals high in openness were more likely to use liberal news regardless of their political party identification. Using 786 representative Michigan adults from the 2020 State of the State Survey, this pre-registered study aimed to conceptually replicate this finding focusing on COVID-19 related news use. Additionally, this study examined the role conscientiousness plays in liberal and conservative COVID-19 related news use. We found no significant association between openness and liberal COVID-19 related news use; however, openness did predict less conservative COVID-19 related news use. After controlling for political party identification and ideology, conscientiousness did not significantly predict liberal or conservative COVID-19 related news use.
Cheating as a prosocial act? Helping others with academic cheating is related to social goals and cooperative norms

Published: August 2023

Academic dishonesty threatens the integrity of performance assessment, making it crucial to understand the various types and predictors of such behavior. Among these, second-party cheating, which refers to aiding and abetting cheating behaviors, is similarly prevalent as individualistic cheating, yet has received limited research attention. We follow up on this and examine social reasons for such behavior. Specifically, we consider social goals (focused on interpersonal relationships) and cooperative norms as predictors. We investigated their main effects and interaction in a preregistered, longitudinal, Germany-wide study with 856 students. Three out of four students reported having engaged in at least one form of second-party cheating throughout the semester. Structural equation models confirmed that both social goals and cooperative norms positively predicted second-party cheating, without evidence for an interaction. Further, second-party cheating was only weakly linked to individualistic cheating behaviors and, in contrast to it, was not significantly predicted by academic mastery and performance goals, speaking to different motivational mechanisms at play. These findings underscore that second-party cheating is distinct from, and rooted in, different causes than individualistic cheating, calling for further research. Addressing this type of academic dishonesty, and social reasons in particular, could enrich interventions to tackle academic dishonesty more effectively.
Survei Kebugaran Jasmani Siswa di SMA Negeri 5 Malang
Authors: Dina Surfiyah  , Ari Wibowo Kurniawan
Published: August 2023

Physical fitness is an important component for students to have as part of their growth and development during the learning process. The COVID-19 that occurred in Indonesia actually caused students to be less movemant. It is no longer surprising that the lack of movement makes students' physical activity decrease so that they are prone to having less physical fitness. The purpose of this study was to find out how the physical fitness of students at SMA Negeri 5 Malang contributes to learning outcome. This research uses a quantitative descriptive type with a survey method. The population in this study were students of classes X, XI, and XII of SMA Negeri 5 Malang, totaling 1,136 students. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. The sample in this study was 92 students, including 57 girls and 35 boys, who were selected from the sampling based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Student physical fitness data was taken using the Indonesian Physical Fitness Test (TKJI) instrument. The analysis of the test results is based on the classification norm for each component indicator of the test performed. The results showed that physical fitness was in the lower classification. It is known that the results of students' physical fitness are lacking it is hoped that physical education, sports, and health teachers will evaluate or provide various sports learning media to students so that physical fitness can increase.

A study on the efficacy of microneedling with minoxidil solution versus microneedling with hair multivitamin solution for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia
Authors: Sunil Kumar  , Rajesh G  , Srinivas K
Published: August 2023

Background: Androgenetic alopecia (AA) is one of the common cosmetic concerns. It affects more than 50% of adults. AA alopecia is a benign condition and it affects the psychology of patients. Microneedling (MN) – minimally invasive procedure. Minoxidil is an antihypertensive and causes vasodilation.
Aims and Objectives: The present study was aimed to compare the efficacy of MN with minoxidil solution versus MN with hair multivitamin solution of male androgenetic alopecia.
Materials and Methods: The study was conducted in the Department of Dermatology, Akash Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Centre, Devanahalli, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India. After following inclusion and exclusion criteria, 50 subjects were involved. Subjects were divided into two groups, 25 in each group. Group I, MN with dermaroller having needle length of 1.5 mm was done and minoxidil solution was applied over the scalp and the again MN was done. Group II, MN was done and hair multivitamin solution was used. MN was done for every 3 weeks and a total of nine sessions were done. From the last session, all the study subjects were followed for 6 months. Baseline investigations were done. Side effects such as pain, bruising, and folliculitis were recorded and monitored. Response of the patients to the treatment (hair growth) was assessed by physician global assessment scores. Visual analog scale score was done to assess the subjective improvement of the patients.
Results: In this study, 50 male androgenetic alopecia patients were involved. In this, 21 (42%) were in the age group of 20–40 years and 29 (58%) were in the 41–60 years of age group. In Group I, excellent response was seen in 19 (76%), very good response in 4 (16%), good response in 2 (8%) patients, and none of the patients showed average response. In Group II, excellent response was seen in 10 (40%), very good response in 4 (16%), good response in 6 (24%) patients, and average response in 5 (20%). Following side effects were observed in the study subjects, pain in 6 (24%), bruising 4 (16%), and folliculitis 2 (8%).
Conclusion: MN is safe and cost-effective procedure, which causes stimulation of hair follicles and improves hair growth.
