Authors: Ziranu Antonio , Bove Antonio , Germani Greta Tanzi
Published: September 2024

The increasing number of prosthetic hip replacement surgeries and their growing indication have led to a growing interest in understanding the factors that influence their long-term success. Total hip arthroplasty (THA) failure is mainly due to aseptic loosening. More rarely septic mobilization may occur. In the first case, many variables influence the bone-implant relationship and periprosthetic bone remodeling. Stress-shielding is the most evident but not fully explained manifestation of the bone implant interaction. Recently, three-dimensional (3D) printed titanium orthopedic implants have offered new perspectives in the field of hip prosthetics, enabling the customization and production of acetabular cups with enhanced biocompatibility. This review aims to evaluate the efficacy and reliability of 3D printed acetabular cups from the perspective of aseptic failure particularly related to the stress-shielding. The most recent clinical and preclinical studies will be reviewed, exploring the benefits and challenges associated with the use of these emerging technologies.

The New Documents: Creative Shifts in Contemporary Chinese Documentary Photography
Authors: Xing Jiang , Zhu Yuan
Published: September 2024

Following China’s economic reform and opening-up, contemporary Chinese documentary photography underwent a significant shift. The most notable transformation was the move from Socialist Realism photography to a new form of documentary photography. According to John Szarkowski, former Director of Photography at MoMA, this “new documents” differed from its predecessors by emphasizing “personal purpose” and focusing on “insights into life.” These characteristics became increasingly evident in Chinese contemporary documentary photography starting in the early 1980s. When Chinese photographers began to realize that documentary photography serving political purposes should give way to documentary photography reflecting society, the key Western influences that shaped their work were the new wave of documentary photographers emerging in the 1950s. This paper explores the work of six photographers and argues that understanding the shift to this “new documents” provides a crucial framework for comprehending the evolution of contemporary Chinese documentary photography.

Exploring the Impact of Artificial Intelligence Technology on Creative Challenges and Potential Breakthroughs: A Case Study of the TikTok Short Video Platform
Authors: Xu Buzhen , Chen Shuo
Published: September 2024

This study aims to investigate the challenges encountered by short video creators when utilizing artifi- cial intelligence (AI) technology for video production and propose potential solutions. By conducting in-depth analysis of creators’ reliance on AI technology, we can gain a better understanding of the obstacles they face during the creative process. Furthermore, we delve into the future development trends of AI technology within the realm of short video creation. We anticipate that with advance- ments in technology and creators’ enhanced comprehension of this tool, AI will offer them greater possibilities and inspiration for content generation. However, it is crucial to exercise caution regarding the potential adverse impact of technology on both the creative process and creators’ creativity. To gain a more profound comprehension of the creative predicaments encountered by short video creators in the realm of AI technology, we conducted an extensive literature review employing the CiteSpace software. By meticulously analyzing pertinent literature, we successfully identified prevailing research focal points and emerging trends, thereby acquiring valuable insights into how creators harness AI tech- nology. Our investigation revealed that certain short video creators exhibit an excessive reliance on AI technology, which engenders cognitive inflexibility, information curation bias, and the formation of insular information environments. This overdependence may consequently impede their ability to manifest uniqueness and creativity while constraining their exploration of diversity and innovation. In response to the aforementioned issues, we propose potential solutions. Firstly, creators should adopt a critical mindset towards AI technology, refraining from solely relying on its suggestions and filtering. Secondly, creators should actively seek diverse inspiration and sources of creativity in order to prevent the formation of information cocoons. Lastly, platform providers should offer a wider range of flexible and diverse tools to cater to the varied needs of creators.

Authors: Uslu Burcu , Bayram Hatice Merve
Published: September 2024

Aim: The main aim of this research is to understand the relationship between intuitive eating behaviors and cognitive emotion regulation strategies in individuals between the ages of 40-65.
Method: In the study, a socio-demographic data form was used to determine participants' general information, health habits, and eating habits. The Intuitive Eating Scale and Cognitive Emotion Regulation scales were employed to assess individuals' emotion regulation strategies following negative life events. The study was conducted with 149 participants.
Results: According to the results of the study, no significant relationship was found between intuitive eating behaviors and cognitive emotion regulation strategies in middle-aged individuals. In addition, there was no statistically significant relationship between Intuitive Eating Scale scores and cognitive emotion regulation strategy scores in terms of gender (p>0.05). The findings also indicated that 21.5% of participants had normal Body Mass Index (BMI) values, while 49.7% were classified as slightly obese, 28.2% as obese, and 0.7% as underweight. Analyzing the impact of intuitive eating behaviors and cognitive emotion regulation strategies on BMI revealed no statistically significant relationship (p>0.05).
Conclusion: The research findings demonstrate that intuitive eating behaviors in middle-aged individuals are not directly associated with cognitive emotion regulation strategies. Nevertheless, further detailed examination of the relationship between cognitive emotion regulation strategies and BMI is necessary. These results emphasize the importance of healthy eating habits and suggest the need for tailored educational programs to enhance cognitive emotion regulation skills in middle-aged individuals. Additionally, it is recommended that nutritionists and healthcare professionals provide conscious nutrition and healthy lifestyle education specifically for this age group. Conducting such studies will contribute to a better understanding of factors influencing intuitive eating behaviors in middle-aged individuals and support healthy aging.

Published: September 2024

Aim: The aim of this study was to examine the immediate effects of listening to classical music as a cognitive relaxation technique during stretching exercises on trunk flexibility and exercise-induced pain.
Method: This study was a randomized controlled trial in which 34 healthy male and female individuals aged between 18-22 years were divided into two groups: classical music listening group (n=17) and control group (n=17). Both groups performed static stretching exercises on the lumbal region and hamstring muscle groups for a total of 15 minutes. During the exercise, participants in the Classical Music Group listened to music with headphones. Control group did not listen to any music. Both groups underwent evaluation of their forward (Sit Reach Test) and lateral trunk flexibility (Trunk Lateral Flexion Test) before and after the exercise. Pain intensity during exercise was measured with Visual Analog Scale. Statistical analysis was performed using the R-Studio 1.4.1103 program, with a significance level of p<0.05.
Results: In both groups, there was an increase in all flexibility values compared to before the stretching exercise (p<0.001). Classical Music Group demonstrated greater improvements in flexibility values compared to the Control Group, except for the forward flexibility of the trunk (p<0.05). The two groups had no significant difference in pain levels experienced during static stretching exercises (p>0.05).
Conclusion: Performing stretching exercises while listening to classical music has been shown to increase the pain threshold. This decreased sensation of pain resulting from exercise can also lead to increased flexibility.

Authors: Ay Hatice Feyzan , Yeşilkır Baydar Serap , Çakır Koç Rabia
Published: September 2024

Aim: In neurodegenerative diseases, increased production of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) causes oxidative stress in neurons, and when the damage is severe, it is irreversible and apoptosis is induced. In recent years, phytochemicals that exhibit neuroprotective and antioxidant properties to protect neurons from oxidative stress have gained importance. Therefore, herbal extracts with high antioxidant capacity and anti-apoptotic properties may provide a protective strategy against H2O2-induction. This study aims to examine the influence of Cichorium endivia liquid extract (CEE) and Urtica dioica liquid extract (UDE) against H2O2-induction on SH-SY5Y cells in vitro.
Method: For this purpose, cells were treated with the extracts and then exposed to H2O2. The neuroprotective effect and cell viability of these extracts were evaluated by XTT method. Antioxidant activity was determined by the CUPRAC method. Finally, the apoptotic cell death and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels were examined with DAPI and DCFH-DA, respectively.
Results: The results obtained showed that CEE and UDE have an influence on neuroprotection, anti-apoptotic, and antioxidant effects by reducing H2O2-induced toxicity, apoptotic cell death, and ROS levels.
Conclusion: H2O2 causes neurotoxicity in neurons through oxidative damage. To prevent this, traditional plant extracts with high antioxidant activity can provide a neuroprotective strategy. As a consequence, it was shown in an in vitro model that these herbal extracts could be a neuroprotective effect.
Kardiyovasküler Hastalıklar ve Mental Problemlerin İlişkisi
Authors: Ertürk Çağıl , Küçükali Aişe Sümeyye , Arslan Aydın
Published: September 2024

Kardiyovasküler hastalıklar (KVH) genellikle kalp ve damar sistemini etkileyen hastalıkların genel bir adıdır. Bu hastalıklar arasında koroner arter hastalığı, kalp yetmezliği, kalp krizi ve inme gibi durumlar bulunmaktadır. Son yıllarda yapılan araştırmalar, kardiyovasküler hastalıkların gelişiminde nörotransmitterlerin önemli bir rol oynadığını göstermektedir. Nörotransmitterler, sinir hücreleri arasında bilgi iletimini sağlayan kimyasal bileşiklerdir. Bu bileşiklerin kalp ve damar sistemi üzerindeki etkileri, kardiyovasküler fonksiyonları düzenleme yetenekleriyle ilgilidir. Özellikle stres, duygusal faktörler ve hormonal değişiklikler, nörotransmitter salınımını etkileyerek kardiyovasküler sistemi etkileyebilir. Stresle ilişkilendirilen nörotransmitterler, özellikle adrenalin ve noradrenalin gibi, kalp atış hızını artırabilir, kan basıncını yükseltebilir ve damar tonusunu değiştirebilir. Bu fizyolojik değişiklikler, uzun vadede kardiyovasküler hastalık riskini artırabilir. Ayrıca, kronik stresin nörotransmitter düzenlemeleri üzerindeki etkileri, inflamasyon ve oksidatif stres gibi faktörler aracılığıyla kardiyovasküler hastalıkların gelişimini tetikleyebilir. Nörotransmitterlerin kardiyovasküler sistemi etkileme mekanizmaları üzerine yapılan araştırmalar, bu iki mekanizma arasında farklı alanlarda ilişkili olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Bu bağlamda, kardiyovasküler hastalıkların nörotransmitterlerle olan kompleks ilişkisi, hem klinik hem de deneysel çalışmalarda daha fazla araştırmayı gerektirmektedir. Bu makalenin amacı bu mekanizmalar arası ilişkiyi araştırmalarla beraber göstermektir, böylece kardiyovasküler hastalıkların önlenmesi ve tedavisinde yeni yaklaşımların geliştirilmesine katkıda bulunabilir.

Aim: This research is a descriptive study aimed at determining the profile of students enrolled in the Department of Child Development within Istanbul Gelisim University's Faculty of Health Sciences. Method: The study group consists of 389 students studying in the child development departments providing education in Turkish and English. In the study, 259 students who agreed to participate in the study were included without any sample selection. Result: Research findings have shown that the majority of child development department students are satisfied with both the department and the university. They choose the child development department voluntarily and rank it among their top three choices in the university preference form. Additionally, they have positive feelings towards both the department and the university. Conclusion: As a result of the research, it was determined that the students were satisfied with their departments and the university. Personality characteristics, professional knowledge, skills, and attitudes of child development professionals directly affect the target audiences with whom they will interact. For this reason, to train qualified child development experts, it is thought that it would be beneficial to take encouraging measures for candidates who will choose the child development profession and to support existing child development experts while doing their profession and help them solve the problems they encounter.

Authors: Saraç Emel , Torun Nazan
Published: September 2024

Aim: In this study, time series and regression analyses were conducted to understand and explore the impact of both public and private health expenditures on health outcomes in Türkiye.
Methods: In the study, life expectancy at birth, human development index, disability-adjusted life years per 100,000 people, and share of total health expenditures in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) were employed as dependent variables. Total public and private health investments, current health expenditures for hospitals, current health expenditures for retail sales, and other medical equipment providers were used as independent variables. The data included the period between 2002 and 2019.
Results: The results confirm the positive impact of health expenditures in Türkiye, especially public and private health investments, and hospital current expenditures on the burden of disease. However, surprisingly, the results revealed that both public and private health expenditures had no impact on life expectancy at birth, the Human Development Index, or the share of total health expenditures in GDP. As a significant finding, this study demonstrated that public and private health investments and current hospital expenditures in Türkiye have shown improvements in disease burdens, indicating that investment decisions in this area are crucial in terms of both short-term and long-term benefits.
Conclusion: These results support the efforts of the country to create a sturdy, objective, and proof-based decision-making process.

Riemann-Cartan geometries are geometries that admit non-zero curvature and torsion tensors. These geometries have been investigated as geometric frameworks for potential theories in physics including quantum gravity theories and have many important differences when compared to Riemannian geometries. One notable difference, is the number of symmetries for a Riemann-Cartan geometry is potentially smaller than the number of Killing vector fields for the metric. In this paper, we will review the investigation of symmetries in Riemann-Cartan geometries and the mathematical tools used to determine geometries that admit a given group of symmetries. As an illustration, we present new results by determining all static spherically symmetric and all stationary spherically symmetric Riemann-Cartan geometries. Furthermore, we have determined the subclasses of spherically symmetric Riemann-Cartan geometries that admit a seven-dimensional group of symmetries.

Published: September 2024

Background

Evaluating energy expenditure is important for establishing optimal goals for nutrition treatment. However, indirect calorimetry, the reference standard for measuring energy expenditure, is difficult to apply widely in clinical practice.

Objective

To test the consistency of bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) relative to indirect calorimetry for evaluating energy expenditure in critically ill patients.

Methods

A cross-sectional study of 140 critically ill adult patients was conducted. Within 24 hours of a patient being transferred to the intensive care unit, trained researchers assessed the patient’s energy expenditure by use of BIA and indirect calorimetry simultaneously. Consistency of the 2 measurements was detected by intraclass correlation coefficients with a 2-way random-effects model. Factors affecting consistency were analyzed.

Results

Median energy expenditure measured by indirect calorimetry was 1430.0 kcal/d (IQR, 1190.5–1650.8 kcal/d). Median energy expenditure measured by BIA was 1407.0 kcal/d (IQR, 1248.5–1563.5 kcal/d). The correlation coefficient between indirect calorimetry and BIA was 0.813 (95% CI, 0.748–0.862; P < .001). The consistency of the 2 measurements was lower in patients with comorbidities than in those without (P = .004).

Conclusions

Results of BIA were highly consistent with indirect calorimetry assessments of energy expenditure in critically ill patients. Few factors except comorbidity affect the accuracy of BIA when assessing energy expenditure. Therefore, as a low-cost, easy-to-use, and noninvasive method, BIA is a valuable clinical tool for assessing energy expenditure in critically ill patients.

Published: September 2024

Background

Sepsis is a complex condition with high morbidity and mortality. Prompt treatment can improve survival, but for survivors the risk of deterioration and readmission remains high. Little is known about the association between discharge setting and readmission among sepsis survivors.

Objective

To examine 30-day hospital readmission rates in adult sepsis survivors by the type of setting to which patients were discharged.

Methods

The Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care database was used to identify adult sepsis survivors and evaluate 30-day readmission by discharge setting. A χ2 contingency analysis was used with each factor and presence/absence of readmission. The Kruskal-Wallis test was used to compare readmissions across discharge settings.

Results

From our sample (N = 7107; mean age 66.5 years; 46.2% women), 23.6% (n = 1674) were readmitted within 30 days and of those readmitted, 30% were readmitted between 1 and 3 times. Discharge setting (P < .001) and age (P = .02) were significantly associated with readmission, but sex, ethnicity, and insurance type were not. High numbers of readmissions were seen in patients discharged to skilled nursing facilities (29.6%), home health care (26.9%), and home (15.0%). Similar high comorbidity burden and acuteness of illness were seen in patients discharged to these settings.

Conclusions

Sepsis survivors discharged to skilled nursing facilities, home health care, and home are at high risk for 30-day readmission. The rates of readmission from home health care and home settings were alarming. Often patients are discharged to inappropriate settings, placing them at risk for residual sepsis and readmission. Future research should focus on appropriate timing of hospital discharge and transition to the most appropriate discharge setting.

Published: September 2024

Zataria multiflora Boiss is a perennial plant with a wide spectrum of biological and pharmacological activities including antidiabetic, anti-nociceptive, anti-asthmatic, anti-fever, anti-spastic, anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. This paper reviews the therapeutic effects of Zataria multiflora based on recent reports. The relevant reports were extracted by checking the electronic databases including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar from the beginning of 2010 until the end of May 2023. The neuroprotective effects of Zataria multiflora can be attributed to inhibition of acetylcholinesterase, enhancement of brain-derived neurotrophic factor, and alleviation of brain oxidative damage. Zataria multiflora also exerts its protective effects on the respiratory system, liver, and kidney by reducing the level of inflammatory cytokines, scavenging the free radicals, and augmenting the antioxidant enzymes. Additionally, Zataria multiflora accelerates wound healing via upregulating transforming growth factor-β, insulin-like growth factor 1, fibroblast growth factor 2, and vascular endothelial growth factor, and inducing angiogenesis and collagen biosynthesis. Overall, the protective impacts of Zataria multiflora on different organs are mainly attributed to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
