Acute respiratory infection, or ARI, is an acute inflammation that most often occurs in children. It is caused by infection with microorganisms, bacteria or viruses or without or accompanied by inflammation of the lung parenchyma (David, 2019). Data from the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2019 shows that lower respiratory tract infections reduce life expectancy by 2.09 years in sufferers (WHO, 2019). The group most at risk is toddlers. This research uses a case study approach. Participant 1 was a three-year-old child patient who underwent ARI, data collection using interviews, observation, and physical examination. The tools and instruments used in this research were eucalyptus aromatherapy (eucalyptus oil), warm water and a family nursing care assessment format. After the data was collected, data analysis was carried out using the nursing process. The intervention emphasized airway clearance, but it was not adequate, so Eucalyptus aromatherapy was given for three days. The final evaluation was reached on the 3rd day, and the problem was resolved. The evaluation results showed that giving Eucalyptus aromatherapy to a three-year-old child who had respiratory problems was very effective so that on the third day, the child no longer experienced shortness of breath, the secretions were no longer there, and breathing became more accessible. Conclusions and suggestions for research sites should be made on how to apply eucalyptus aromatherapy to ARI to help expel secretions and relieve breathing.

Ganz abgesehen davon, dass alle in Deutschland vorhandenen Haftplätze, auch in den regulären Strafvollzugsanstalten, nicht ausreichen, um alle vollziehbar Ausreisepflichtigen aufzunehmen, stellt sich die Frage, ob diese Forderung mit höherrangigem Recht vereinbar ist. Dies betrifft zunächst die Rückführungsrichtlinie der EU und dann aber natürlich auch die Grundrechte. Um die Antwort vorwegzunehmen: eindeutig nein!
Determining viability of image processing models for forensic analysis of hair for related individuals
Authors: Wang Yuqing Olivia , Funes David SH , Bridge Candice
Published: February 2025

Errors in testimonies of microscopical hair examination have led to dozens of false convictions, since hair strands from different people can look similar. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) can be obtained from hairs; however, because mtDNA is identical along the maternal line, it is ineffective in distinguishing between family members. While nuclear DNA (nDNA) can be extracted from the hair’s root, it is not always present, and nDNA in the hair shaft is limited and often degraded. This limitation has led to extensive research on objective methods of differentiating individuals using microscopical imaging and statistical analysis. We aimed to determine if there was a machine learning algorithm with the highest accuracy in individual classification using imaging of microscopical analysis of hair. Images of 644 hair sections were analyzed by objectively quantifying the hair’s medulla, width, color, texture, and pigment distribution. To determine the highest accuracy, we used four supervised models: discriminant analysis (DA), multinomial logistic regression, K-nearest neighbor, and support vector machine; and two unsupervised models: principal component analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis. The accuracy was tested on isolated data from nine families to test cases where mtDNA would fall short in differentiating related individuals. Unlike the unsupervised models, the supervised models provided comprehensive results of accuracy determination. The DA model yielded the highest accuracy of 88.89%, with 3/5 families with twins meeting or exceeding this accuracy. Our results demonstrated DA as the strongest statistical model for future research in differentiating between related individuals, which may increase the probative value of the evidence.

Published: February 2025

Para la antropología forense la determinación del sexo constituye uno de los pilares básicos del análisis de perfil biológico de un individuo, pues a partir de la determinación de esta variable se procederá con la estimación de elementos como su estatura y edad. Teniendo en cuenta que en el Instituto Nacional de Medicina Legal y Ciencias Forenses (en adelante INMLCF) se reciben cadáveres incompletos, desmembrados, esqueletizados, entre otros, es necesario en muchos de estos casos recurrir a análisis métricos para establecer con certeza el sexo de estos individuos.
El presente estudio pretende generar un método para estimar el sexo de cadáveres como los citados anteriormente, a partir de la creación de fórmulas discriminantes, cuya aplicación apoyará el análisis de esta variable en los casos en que no se encuentren disponibles otras estructuras para realizar dicha clasificación. El presente estudio empleó una muestra conformada por clavículas de 84 individuos (27 femeninos y 57 masculinos) con edad promedio de 50 años, en las cuales se evaluaron 4 variables para cada lado, correspondientes a longitud máxima de la clavícula (CLAXLN), el diámetro vertical medial (CLAVRD), el diámetro sagital medial (CLAAPD) y la circunferencia en el punto medio de la clavícula (CLACIRC).

Al Grupo de Antropología Forense del Instituto Nacional de Medicina Legal y Ciencias Forenses (en adelante INMLCF) de Colombia ingresan cotidianamente cadáveres complejos1, cuyas estructuras óseas suelen presentar diversidad de cambios físicos que pueden corresponder a la acción de agentes tafonómicos o a maniobras realizadas por los victimarios. Dentro de dichos cambios se pueden mencionar entre otros, la presencia de adherencias o coloraciones atípicas en la superficie del tejido óseo, las cuales constituyen la problemática que se aborda en el presente artículo.
El Grupo de Evidencia Traza del INMLCF apoya al área de Antropología Forense en el estudio y diagnóstico de diversidad de casos relacionados con cadáveres complejos, es así como entre los años 2009 y 2010, dicho laboratorio solicitó establecer la identificación de las adherencias encontradas en varias estructuras óseas de cuerpos procedentes de fosas clandestinas halladas en sector rural del departamento de Putumayo, Colombia.
El estudio inicial por estereomicroscopía y microespectroscopía indicó que no se trataba de una adherencia, sino de una transformación del propio hueso. Posteriores análisis por fluorescencia de rayos X y microscopía electrónica de barrido, permitieron concluir que el origen de la coloración correspondía a la transformación de hidroxiapatita en el mineral vivianita.

Published: February 2025

Heart failure (HF) significantly burdens global healthcare, necessitating early detection and precise risk stratification. Advanced imaging techniques like 4D flow Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and arterial spin labelling (ASL) provide crucial insights into cardiac function by capturing complex flow patterns and measuring myocardial blood flow. Hence, this study explores how these modalities can enhance early detection and risk assessment of cardiovascular diseases, aiming to improve patient outcomes. Ten patients aged ≤ 65 with clinically compensated cardiomyopathy were recruited. MRI examinations included 4D flow MRI using a 1.5 T Philips Achieva Scanner and ASL imaging on a 3 Tesla scanner. Data analysis for 4D flow MRI involved segmenting the left ventricle and categorizing pathlines into flow components, while ASL data were analyzed using Buxton’s model to quantify myocardial blood flow (MBF). The study population had a mean age of 49 ± 14 years, predominantly female (6:4). Average heart rate was 61 ± 11 bpm and blood pressures averaged 122/77 mmHg. Left ventricular end-diastolic volume was 179 ± 33 mL with an ejection fraction of 42 ± 5%. Patients showed lower direct flow volume and kinetic energy in early diastolic phases compared to healthy individuals. In conclusion, 4D flows MRI and accelerated ASL are effective for early detection and risk stratification in cardiovascular disease, offering enhanced cardiovascular assessment and potential improvements in patient care.

Preterm birth and low birth weight significantly contribute to neonatal morbidity, with affected infants often struggling with weight gain and feeding. This study investigated the effects of tactile and kinesthetic stimulation on these parameters in preterm and low birth weight neonates in Mehsana hospitals. Sixty neonates were split into an experimental group, receiving 15-minute tactile and kinesthetic sessions twice daily, and a control group with standard care. Measurements on the first and seventh days showed that the experimental group had notable improvements, with weight gain increasing from 1.55 ± 1.30 to 3.50 ± 0.50 and feeding patterns similarly enhanced. In contrast, the control group’s gains were modest and not statistically significant. Gestational age and birth weight were associated with positive responses to stimulation, especially in neonates with lower initial weights. These results indicate that tactile and kinesthetic stimulation could be an effective, low-cost method to support growth in vulnerable neonates.

The impact of three-unit fixed posterior metal-ceramic restorations on alveolar bone loss in diabetic patients is of interest. Hence, a total of 72 patients at the Najran University, Faculty of Dentistry were divided into two groups: G1 (36 patients, without three-unit fixed posterior metal-ceramic restorations) and G2 (36 patients, with three-unit fixed posterior metal-ceramic restorations). Clinical evaluations and imaging revealed that G2 exhibited significantly higher plaque index (P.I.), gingival index (G.I.) and alveolar bone loss compared to G1 with (p < 0.05). The results underscore the increased risk of periodontal complications and bone loss in diabetic patients with metal-ceramic restorations. This highlights the critical need for enhanced preventive care, including improved oral hygiene practices, careful selection of restorative materials and tailored periodontal monitoring for diabetic patients. Clinicians should consider these factors to reduce the risk of bone resorption and ensure long-term success in restorative dental treatments for this vulnerable population.

UTIs are quite a common infection in outpatient care; however, the rise of antimicrobial resistance raises considerable challenge. This study determines the trend of resistance among UTI pathogens and considers factors contributing to it, such as prescribing, which often occurs in an outpatient setting. It was a single-setting retrospective analysis of 80 outpatient UTI cases. This involved bacterial isolation, antimicrobial susceptibility testing, and analysis of potential factors that may have led to resistance, such as antibiotic prescribing and patient comorbidities. Descriptive statistics were therefore applied in SPSS for data analysis. The most common pathogen was Escherichia coli (70%) and exhibited significant resistance to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole at 30% and to fluoroquinolones at 22%. Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing strains comprised 8% of E. coli isolates. Higher resistance rates were associated with inappropriate antibiotic use (p = 0.001), frequent use of antibiotics (p = 0.004) and comorbid conditions such as diabetes (p = 0.002). The levels of resistance to antimicrobials in outpatient UTIs are rising, especially due to the inappropriate prescribing and health conditions.

Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI), often caused by embolic events in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), can lead to bowel necrosis without timely intervention. This study evaluated the role of CT angiography (CTA) in diagnosing AMI and its impact on surgical outcomes through radiologic-surgical collaboration in 100 AF patients. CTA demonstrated a high diagnostic accuracy, correctly identifying AMI in 92% of cases (p < 0.001) and facilitated early surgical intervention in 75% of patients, achieving an 80% success rate. Delayed interventions were associated with increased morbidity and mortality (p = 0.003). These findings highlight the effectiveness of CTA in diagnosing AMI and underscore the importance of timely radiologic-surgical collaboration for optimal patient outcomes.

Although religion is supposed to encourage humanity to create peace and prosperity on Earth, it has instead become one of the factors causing violence and the destruction of humanity, necessitating actions to prevent these issues from arising. Christian Religious Education (PAK) has an educational, social, and participatory role in the life of a pluralistic society. Essentially, PAK is an effective learning medium to instill Christian principles in every member of the church, serving as a foundation for their existence in society. The method used in the writing of this paper is a descriptive qualitative method.

Therefore, it is very important for believers to have a proper understanding of Jesus Christ, which is based on the truth of God's Word, so that their faith is firm and in accordance with the teachings of the Bible. In this article “Christology in the Gospel of John: Jesus as the Way, the Truth, and the Life” can include the understanding that the Gospel of John emphasizes the identity of Jesus as the only way to salvation, the absolute truth, and the source of eternal life. In this context, Jesus is presented as the link between humanity and God, offering a deep understanding of spiritual and existential relationships. Through His statements, such as “I am the way, the truth, and the life,” the Gospel of John describes Jesus' mission of saving mankind and reveals God's loving nature.
