Authors: Özden Fatih , Özkeskin Mehmet , Ezgin Bennu Deniz , Tümtürk İsmet , Karaman Bedriye , Şirin Hadiye
Published: June 2024

Background: The aim of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of telerehabilitation-based balance and coordination exercises on balance confidence, fall efficacy, and functional independence in stroke patients.
Methods: A double-blind, randomized controlled trial was conducted on 30 stroke patients (15 in the telerehabilitation-based group and 15 in the paper-based control group). The telerehabilitation group received video-based exercise training, while the control group received paper-based exercise training. Fear of falling (FES-I), balance (ABC), self-management (SSEQ) and satisfaction with telemedicine (TSQ) were evaluated before and six weeks after treatment.
Results: The results of the present study showed that both telerehabilitation-based video training and paper- based exercise prescription methods were effective in terms of balance confidence, fall efficiency and stroke-specific functional independence (p<0.05). Besides, telerehabilitation-based video training was more effective in balance confidence (p=0.042) and functional independence (0.018). In addition, the satisfaction of individuals in the telerehabilitation group with the telerehabilitation application was above average (59.73±8.15).
Conclusion: Telerehabilitation-based video exercises in stroke patients may provide additional advantages in terms of balance confidence and fall efficiency. In addition, individuals with stroke were satisfied with the remote rehabilitation application.
The effectiveness of telerehabilitation on independence, balance, disability and function in stroke patients: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
Authors: Wang Rui , Cao Le , He Yueyue , Feng Ling
Published: June 2024

Objective: To determine whether the use of telerehabilitation leads to improved independence, balance, and quality of life, reduces disability, and enhances the function to perform activities of daily living among stroke survivors compared with usual care.
Methods: This is a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials that have been conducted. Relevant published studies from inception to November 2022 were retrieved from Embase (Ovid), the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL, CBM, VIP, CNKI and Wanfang. The literature search and data extraction processes were conducted by two independent authors. The methodological quality of the included studies was assessed by the Cochrane Risk-of-Bias Assessment Tool, version 2. The data analysis was performed using Review Manager (Version 5.4).
Results: Ten randomized controlled trials published between 2009 and 2022 were included in this meta-analysis. Most of the studies were assessed as having some concerns. The certainty of the evidence in this review varied across outcomes, ranging from low to high. The meta-analysis showed statistically significant effects of tele-rehabilitation on function (standardized mean difference (SMD)=1.05, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.42 to 1.67, P = 0.44), balance((SMD)= 0.88, 95% CI: 0.25 to 1.51, P = 0.20). However, no statistically significant effect on disability, independence and quality of life were found in our review.
Conclusions: Telerehabilitation may be effective for improving functional outcomes and balance among adult stroke patients, but the effect on disability, independence and quality of life is nonsignificant. More randomized controlled trials with larger sample sizes, more follow-up times, and rigorous study designs should be further conducted to identify the effect of Telerehabilitation on stroke patients.

Published: June 2024

Objectives: Contrast extravasations (CE) are frequently seen on postprocedural computed tomography after endovascular therapy (EVT). This study aimed to investigate the relationship between patients’ outcomes and CE after EVT.
Methods: Stroke patients who had received EVT between 2019 and 2021 were reviewed retrospectively. The CEs were mapped using MRIcroGL software. The rate of in-hospital mortality and modified Rankin Scale at 90 days were taken as outcome measures. Stepwise logistic regression analyses were performed. Three models were created with and without pure CE to predict the patients’ outcomes.
Results: There were 126 patients included in the study. According to the univariable analysis, CE (OR = 0.70, 95% CI = 0.18–2.68, P = 0.26) and CE-ASPECTS (OR = 1.21, 95% CI=0.60-2.44, P = 0.57) were not related with in-hospital mortality after EVT. The lesion mapping showed that the most common CE locations among the patients with a poor prognosis was the M6 area. The multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that CE in the M6 area (OR = 6.87, 95% CI = 1.27–144.92, P = 0.006) increased the risk of a 3-month poor outcome. The study showed that adding CE to the well-known risk factors for poor prognosis improves the predictive power of the models (ΔAUC of 0.07, P = 0.02).
Conclusion: CE has a prognostic value after EVT in anterior stroke patients. The prognostic value is the highest when present in the M6 area.

Published: June 2024

Herpes zoster ophthalmicus (HZO) is a manifestation of the reactivation of the varicella zoster virus, characterised by vesicular rash along the ophthalmic division of the trigeminal nerve. A rare but significant complication of HZO is orbital myositis, marked by painful swelling of extraocular muscles and periorbital tissues. We present the case of a 72-year-old woman initially presenting with ophthalmological symptoms, notably conjunctival congestion and superficial punctate keratitis, preceding the typical vesicular rash of herpes zoster. The subsequent development of diplopia led to the detection of lateral rectus palsy. Neuroimaging revealed orbital myositis, with the patient showing marked improvement following treatment with oral steroids. This case emphasize the importance of recognizing orbital myositis as a complication of HZO.

Published: June 2024

Super refractory status epilepticus (SRSE) is a condition in which status epilepticus persists despite 48 hours of anesthetic treatment. Nonconvulsive status epilepticus (NCSE) is characterized by seizures lasting more than 30 min on an electroencephalogram, with accompanying changes in behavior or consciousness without convulsions. Prompt treatment of NCSE is crucial, as delayed treatment may lead to additional brain damage and progression to convulsive status epilepticus. Although vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) has been approved as an adjunct treatment for drug-resistant epilepsy, it is rarely used to treat refractory status epilepticus. To the best of our knowledge, only two cases of NCSE treated with VNS have been reported to date, and these patients were successfully treated with VNS for NCSE caused by anti-NMDAR encephalitis. We report the case of a patient with posttraumatic epilepsy who developed super refractory-NCSE after convulsive status epilepticus and was successfully treated with VNS.
Lateral temporal atrophy is a better predictor of baseline MMSE scores than hippocampal atrophy in Alzheimer’s disease: A retrospective cross-sectional study
Authors: Nguyen Vinh-Khang , Tong Mai-Trang , Tran The-Son , Pham Thanh-Trung , Nguyen Truc T.T. , Tran Cong-Thang
Published: June 2024

Background: Mini-Mental State Exam (MMSE) is widely used for the cognitive assessment in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), but its interpretation could be affected by acute medical conditions, depression, or anxiety. Conversely, brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an independent diagnostic tool to evaluate specific cerebral pathology. Many studies have investigated the correlation between MRI visual scales such as hippocampal atrophy and baseline MMSE in AD patients. However, the correlation between a comprehensive MRI visual scale and baseline MMSE in people with AD remains less well known.
Method: We retrospectively collected records of outpatients diagnosed with probable AD according to DSM -5 criteria. The comprehensive visual rating scale (CVRS) was used to semiquantitatively measure structural changes and vascular lesions. The relationship between MRI changes and baseline MMSE was evaluated using Bayesian model averaging (BMA).
Results: A total of 65 patients, among whom 21 (32.31%) had early-onset AD, were included. Lateral temporal atrophy, level of education, and late age at onset were the strongest independent predictors of baseline MMSE. Furthermore, hippocampal atrophy was only correlated with delayed recall, while temporal atrophy was correlated with orientation, attention, language, and visual-spatial items of the MMSE. The cerebral atrophy and small vessel lesions scores of the late-onset AD group were significantly higher than those of the early-onset group, despite negligible differences in education and MMSE.
Conclusion: Our study suggests lateral temporal atrophy correlates with baseline MMSE scores in people with AD better than the hippocampal atrophy. Age-related atrophy and silent small vessel disease lesions may have negligible impact on AD patients’ cognitive impairment.

Published: June 2024

Background On college campuses, rates of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including chlamydia and gonorrhea, are increasing. However, rates of screening are low among college women. Direct-to-consumer (DTC) screening may be an innovative solution to improve screening rates, but little research exists on how college women prefer to receive information about these novel methods. The purpose was to explore the preferred communication channels for knowledge about DTC STI screening among college women. Methods Guided by the Diffusion of Innovations (DOI), in-depth interviews were conducted with sexually active college women, ages 18-24 (n=24). Interviews were analyzed thematically by two coders (Kappa=.83). This study presents a salient, emergent theme within the communication channels construct – the role of mental health providers in providing information related to DTC STI screening. Results A salient emergent theme of a preferred interpersonal communication channel for receiving STI screening information was mental health providers (MHPs) and the campus counseling center. Women described the counseling center and the MHPs on campus as an information and referral source for DTC STI screening. Interactions with the counseling center were viewed as more private and confidential than health clinics, and MHPs were viewed as trusted emotional support. Women viewed provision of DTC STI screening as a natural fit with the role of MHPs. Discussion MHPs may be an underutilized resource to provide information about STI screening, particularly novel DTC methods, to college women. Incorporating MHPs into the system of sexual healthcare may increase adoption rates of innovative screening methods and reduce the negative impacts of STIs. Conclusion These results provide preliminary data that MHPs may be an underutilized resource to provide information about STI screening, particularly novel DTC screening. Future studies should evaluate the perspectives of MHPs regarding discussion of and recommendation for DTC STI screening to patients.

For smart cities to succeed, substantial developments to take place in roads, city streets, public transportation, houses, businesses, and other aspects of city life must be drawn up. In today’s world, there is a crucial necessity for effective management of cities to reduce the effect of COVID19 disease with increasing population in cities. Multiple metrics had already been taken to lower the infection rate of COVID19, from the beginning of the outbreaks, such as maintaining distance from another person and wearing face masks. Ensuring security in public places of smart cities needs state-of-the-art technology, including computer vision, deep learning and deep transfer learning for automated detection of face masks and monitoring of whether people wear masks accurately. The achievement of machine learning (ML and) artificial intelligence (AI) techniques in face recognition and object detection makes it fit for the development of FMD methods. The fundamental concept behind the generalized intuitionistic fuzzy soft set is highly productive in making decisions because it considers ways to manipulate an additional intuitionistic fuzzy input from the director to balance any disturbance in the data delivered by the assessment analyst. This manuscript offers the design of Weighted Soft Discernibility Matrix with Deep Learning Assisted Face Mask Detection (WSDMDL-FMD) technique for Smart City Environment. The WSDMDL-FMD technique proficiently discriminates the facial images with the presence or absence of masks. The WSDMDL-FMD technique comprises two stages: Mask RCNN-based face detection and WSDM-based face mask classification. Primarily, the WSDMDL-FMD technique uses Mask RCNN-based face detection. Next, the convolutional neural network (CNN) model derives features from the detected faces and its hyperparameters can be chosen by cuckoo optimization algorithm (COA). For face mask classification, the WSDMDL-FMD technique applies WSDM model. To evaluate the results of the WSDMDL-FMD technique, a series of experiments were involved. The obtained outcomes stated that the WSDMDL-FMD method reaches superior performance than other models

Decolonialidad Didáctica: un enfoque para analizar las posibilidades de integración de las praxeologías subalternas en la enseñanza
Authors: Nhampinga Domingos Arcanjo António , Farias Luiz Marcio Santos
Published: June 2024

La práctica docente en muchos países está dominada por la pedagogía de la visita a las obras, donde el conocimiento se presenta de forma única y lineal, sin tener en cuenta la realidad de los alumnos. Además de no favorecer una práctica docente liberadora y problematizadora, este enfoque coloca a los educadores en una dependencia epistemológica al naturalizar las epistemologías del pensamiento eurocéntrico-colonial en la producción del conocimiento académico. Esta dependencia, resultado de la dominación cultural, es consecuencia de la dominación económica, política y social de unas culturas consideradas hegemónicas sobre otras, lo que constituye la colonialidad epistemológica. El artículo discute una propuesta pedagógico-didáctica que pretende contribuir a la deconstrucción de la idea universal de ciencia, proponiendo una metodología que posibilite cuestionar las condiciones colonizadas en la enseñanza e integrar saberes de culturas subalternas en la construcción del conocimiento académico. Esta discusión, que se inscribe en la decolonialidad didáctica, encuentra elementos teóricos y herramientas en la Teoría Antropológica de lo Didáctico para problematizar cómo se establece la colonialidad en los currículos y discutir posibilidades de circulación de saberes entre instituciones subalternas y enseñanza.
Feature Extraction Algorithm based Metaheuristic Optimization for Handwritten Character Recognition
Authors: Mohamad Muhammad Arif , Ahmad Muhammad Aliif , Mahmood Jamilah
Published: June 2024

Interest in feature extraction for Handwritten Character Recognition (HCR) has been growing due to numerous algorithms aimed at improving classification accuracy. This study introduces a metaheuristic approach utilizing the Honey Badger Algorithm (HBA) for feature extraction in HCR. The Freeman Chain Code (FCC) is employed for data representation. One challenge with using FCC to represent characters is that extraction results vary depending on the starting points, affecting the chain code's route length. To address this issue, a metaheuristic approach using HBA is proposed to identify the shortest route length and minimize computational time for HCR. The performance metrics of the HB-FCC extraction algorithm are route length and computation time. Experiments on the algorithm use chain code representations from the Center of Excellence for Document Analysis and Recognition (CEDAR) dataset, containing 126 uppercase letter characters. According to the results, the proposed HB-FCC method achieves a route length of 1880.28 and requires only 1.07 seconds to process the entre set of character images.

Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk melakukan tinjauan literatur tentang efektivitas Program Kesehatan Nasional (JKN) di Fasilitas Kesehatan Tingkat Pertama (FKTP) di Indonesia. Program JKN bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kualitas dan aksesibilitas perawatan kesehatan bagi seluruh warga Indonesia, tanpa memandang status sosial atau ekonomi. Penelitian ini mengumpulkan dan menganalisis berbagai sumber literatur yang relevan, seperti artikel jurnal, laporan penelitian, dan dokumen kebijakan yang diterbitkan selama beberapa tahun terakhir. Program Kesehatan Nasional (JKN) merupakan program wajib yang memberikan akses perawatan kesehatan komprehensif kepada seluruh warga negara Indonesia, termasuk individu dalam angkatan kerja dan masyarakat umum. Diluncurkan pada 1 Januari 2014, JKN berupaya memberikan layanan kesehatan melalui Fasilitas Kesehatan Tingkat Pertama (FKTP), yang mencakup klinik, puskesmas, dan klinik masyarakat. Program ini menawarkan layanan pencegahan, terapi, promosi kesehatan, dan rehabilitasi. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa efektivitas JKN dapat dipengaruhi oleh berbagai faktor, termasuk status pekerjaan, tingkat pendidikan, dan kesadaran masyarakat tentang pentingnya perawatan kesehatan. Selain itu, keterbatasan infrastruktur dan sumber daya manusia di FKTP juga memainkan peran penting dalam menentukan keberhasilan program ini.

The Swedish Production of Apartments as a Function of GNP, Building Costs and Population Changes: Generation of Intelligent Media Content via Big Data Analytics
Authors: Lohmander Peter
Published: June 2024

The production of new apartments in Sweden has varied strongly during the period from 1975 to 2021. A new statistical function, which explains these production changes, has been developed. This function is designed, based on a set of hypotheses of how the production level should be affected by different explaining factors, such as the GNP, the size of the population, the growth of the population, and the cost of construction. The following hypotheses could not be rejected: the apartment production is a strictly increasing and strictly convex function of GNP, and a strictly increasing function of the size of the population and the growth of the population, and a strictly decreasing function of the cost of construction. The parameters of the statistical function have been estimated with high precision, via multiple regression analysis. It was not possible to detect heteroscedasticity via residual analysis. Furthermore, no indications that nonlinear transformations would improve the selected model were found. The apartment production model contains a strongly significant negative time trend. The estimated function is used to predict the future apartment production until the year 2050. The predictions are based on assumed growth levels of GNP and the population, and on alternative future time trends of the construction cost index. If the real construction cost index continues to grow with the same average trend as from the year 1993 to 2021, the future apartment construction level will stay almost constant at 40,000 apartments per year until 2050. If the future real construction cost index stays constant at the level in 2022, the production of new apartments will grow to almost 90,000 apartments per year in 2050. If the real construction cost index can be decreased to the level in 1993, the production of new apartments will grow to almost 130,000 apartments per year in the year 2050.
