Introduction: The demographic change results in an increasing number of older adults in long-term care. Long-term care can be provided either noninstitutionalized by nurses/relatives at private home or institutionalized in nursing homes. As oral health is associated with general health and overall quality of life, numerous studies addressed the oral health of older people in nursing homes. Clinical investigations focusing on older high-maintenance people living at their private home are still limited. Therefore, the purpose of this investigation was the evaluation and comparison of the oral health of older individuals in long-term care living at home and in nursing homes. Methods: Data were collected from 121 home residents and 243 nursing home residents. A questionnaire was used for self-reported data. Within the intraoral examination, Decayed/Missed/Filled Teeth (DMFT), the condition of the oral mucosa and oral hygiene and removable dental prostheses were recorded. Results: Nursing home residents were older (85.4±9.01 years) than home residents (82.7±9.87 years). Most participants had not used dental services for several years and the DMFT value was higher the longer the utilization was delayed. The older removable dental prostheses were, the higher the DMFT value was. The condition of oral hygiene and mucosa was better with higher DMFT values. Overall, 77.6% of the home residents and 80.9% of the nursing home residents, respectively, felt satisfied with their personal oral situation.
Prevalence of Problematic Gambling in South Australia: A Population Health Perspective
Authors:   Flinders University College of Medicine and Public Health, Australia, Harvey Peter
Published: January 2023

This paper was designed for a public health readership, rather than for the traditional gambling research fraternity, in order that it might reach people working in the wider primary health care field who have an interest in the social, political, and philosophical implications of the emerging phenomenon of modern problematic gambling and gambling disorders in our community. In various iterations of standard prevalence studies designed to determine the number of people in defined populations who are adversely affected by gambling to the extent that they would register a DSM 5 diagnosis for gambling disorder, findings are consistent over time. That is, around 3% of the population is at severe or moderate risk of having a gambling disorder. Given that up to ten other individuals may be impacted adversely by the behaviour of each problem gambler in the community, and suffer the negative consequences of this affliction, the implications for society are clear. Gambling disorder, a preventable condition in essence, has a substantially negative impact on society and requires significant resources for remediation; resources that should rightly be drawn from the industry that profits from gambling and from governments that rely on the inexorably increasing revenue streams flowing from the expanding gambling industry. In contrast, however, resources flowing back to the afflicted in the community are sparse indeed, with South Australia’s Office for Problem Gambling, for example, managing an annual budget of around $5m to support people seeking help for their gambling problems. The challenge for service providers in this context, therefore, has been to achieve the best treatment outcome for each person seeking help for their gambling problem and at the lowest possible cost, hence the current search for efficiency and cost effectiveness in treatment programmes.

Background: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a chronic gastrointestinal condition presented by abdominal discomfort due to unknown cause. The prevalence of IBS in the world extends between 5.7% to 34%, with different ranges based on the tools used for diagnosis. Evidence has indicated genetic predisposition and psychosocial stress as risk factors. This study aims to assess the prevalence of IBS with its subtypes in undergraduate medical student using Rome III criteria. We also investigated the association of IBS and emotional disorders including stress among undergraduate medical students in Saudi Arabia. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in January and February 2021 among undergraduate medical students in Saudi Arabia. Volunteer participants answered the questions relating to demographics and surveys containing the Rome III criteria and the Self-reported Stress questionnaire. Results: A total of 300 participants were recruited with 63.7% of whom were females. Majority of the participants were aged more than 22 years (72.7%). IBS prevalence in undergraduate medical students was 49.3% in Saudi Arabia which was higher than the global prevalence of IBS. There are many associated factors with IBS including female gender, higher academic year, sleeping less than 6 hours and less exercise practicing. Conclusion: Higher prevalence of IBS was detected in undergraduate medical students in Saudi Arabia than worldwide prevalence. Female genders, higher academic grades, less exercise practicing and sleep disturbance were predictors for IBS. More screening and management of stress causes are needed to decrease medical field stressors.

Background: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is one of the main urological pathologies that affects men in adulthood. The high frequency of the symptoms of this pathology is correlated with a perception of worsening of the quality of life, and can lead to deterioration in the activity and work productivity of the patient, leading to stress, depression and social isolation. Objective: To know the association between quality of life and prostate symptoms in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia in the family medicine unit #27 of Tijuana, Mexico. Methods: Participants answered IPSS questionnaire to determine the severity of lower urinary tract symptoms and quality of life. Descriptive statistics were used, the qualitative variables were expressed in frequencies and percentages, and the quantitative variables in measures of central tendency and dispersion. The assumption of normality was made by the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. The Chi-squared test was used to analyze differences in categorical variables, and the Odds ratio was used to calculate risk. The information obtained was analyzed in the statistical program SPSS version 25. Results: A total of 356 patients were included in the study. In the evaluation of the severity of prostate symptoms, 59.27% presented mild symptoms (n=211). Regarding quality of life results, 76.69% (n=273) considered as good quality of life, finding an association between both variables (P <0.001). Conclusions: We can conclude that there is an association between the severity of prostate symptoms and quality of life. It is important to constantly evaluate the presence of symptoms, in order to carry out preventive actions to avoid the effect on the quality of life of these patients.

Direct Oral Anticoagulants (DOACs) are widely used for stroke prevention in non-valvular atrial fibrillation, treatment of deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, and prophylaxis of Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) after hip and knee surgery. Apixaban, a Factor Xa inhibitor, is one of the most efficacious DOACs with some of the lowest bleeding rates. It has therefore been widely adopted into clinical practice. In the recent years, its usefulness has been tested outside traditional clinical paradigms in coronary artery disease, VTE in malignancy, and deep venous thrombosis prophylaxis in acute medical illnesses. Other off label uses include treatment of left ventricular thrombus and transient post procedural use in transcatheter aortic valve replacement and left atrial appendage occlusion device placement. This review systematically evaluates the clinical evidence and knowledge gaps in expanded clinical use of apixaban.

VWD is reported as the most common inherited bleeding disorder worldwide, found in approximately 1% population [1-4]. It can be divided into 3 subtypes: type 1, type 2 and type 3, caused by quantitative or qualitative defects of VWF. VWF is a complex plasma protein essential for primary hemostasis and coagulation. VWF helps to bind and stabilize blood clotting FVIII from rapid breakdown within the blood stream. Any defect in VWF can also cause reduction of FVIII levels [5]. Type 3 VWD is the rarest and most severe type due to virtual absence of VWF and very low levels of FVIII, another protein involved in blood clotting. Hemophilia A is another type of genetic bleeding disorder characterized by deficiency in clotting FVIII, usually affecting males. Type 3 VWD can be difficult to diagnose due to its rarity. Symptoms, hemostatic challenge and bleeding history may become more apparent with increasing age. Since type 3 VWD also exhibits very low levels of FVIII resembles hemophilia A and it can be misdiagnosed if based on FVIII levels only.

Low-cost sensors (LCS) provide opportunities for neighborhood-level air pollution data collection, yet significant knowledge gaps remain regarding the accurate application and interpretation of LCS. In this study, we present an in-field calibration of a network of 20 low-cost ambient particulate matter sensors (LCS) in greater Kolkata, India, operating between October 2018-April 2019. In order to understand LCS performance in relation to local reference-grade PM2.5 monitors (RGMs), three of these LCS were co-located with RGMs operated by the West Bengal Pollution Control Board at Rabindra Bharati University (RBU), Victoria Memorial (VICTORIA), and Padmapukur (Howrah, PDM). Data from the co-locations were used to calibrate the LCS network using random forest regression and multiple linear regression approaches. Measured relative humidity and temperature were significant model features. Agreement between the LCS and RGM for 24-h averaged PM2.5 measurements was strongest at RBU, with an uncalibrated root mean squared error (RMSE) of 27.1 μg m-3, followed by PDM (32.6 μg m-3) and VICTORIA (50.7 μg m-3). Multiple linear regression was used to derive calibration models. Cross-calibration between co-located LCS-RGM pairs was tested. The LCS data after cross-calibration correctly identified days as being in or out of attainment with the 24h National Ambient Air Quality Standard of 60 μg m-3 91% of the time. The corrected data accurately identifies days with an India scale Air Quality Index of “poor” or worse 94% of the time. This suggests that LCS can be a useful supplement to RGM networks for air quality management.

We report a synthesis method for highly monodisperse Cu-Pt alloy nanospheres. Small and large Cu-Pt particles with a Cu:Pt ratio of 1:1 can be obtained through colloidal synthesis at 300 °C. The fresh particles have a Pt-rich surface and a Cu-rich core and can be converted into an intermetallic phase after annealing at 800 °C under H2. First, we demonstrated the stability of fresh particles under redox conditions at 400 °C, as the Pt-rich surface prevents substantial oxidation of Cu. Then, a combination of in situ scanning transmission electron microscopy, in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy, and CO oxidation measurements of the intermetallic CuPt phase before and after redox treatments at 800 °C showed promising activity and stability for CO oxidation. Full oxidation of Cu was prevented after exposure to O2 at 800 °C. The activity and structure of the particles was only slightly changed after exposure to O2 at 800 °C and were recovered after re-reduction at 800 °C. Additionally, the intermetallic CuPt phase showed enhanced catalytic properties compared to the fresh particles with a Pt-rich surface or pure Pt particles of the same size. Thus, the incorporation of Pt with Cu does not lead to a rapid deactivation and degradation of the material, as seen with other bimetallic systems. This work provides a synthesis route to control the design of Cu-Pt nanostructures and underlines the promising properties of these alloys (intermetallic and non-intermetallic) for heterogeneous catalysis.

Published: January 2023

Design of experiments (DoE) plays an important role in optimizing the catalytic performance of chemical reactions. The most commonly-used DoE relies on the response surface methodology (RSM) to model the variable space of experimental condi-tions with a minimal number of experiments. However, the RSM leads to an exponential increase in the number of required experiments to be evaluated as the number of variables increases. Herein we describe a Bayesian optimization algorithm (BOA) to optimize the continuous parameters (e.g. temperature, reaction time, reactant and enzyme concentrations etc.) of enzyme-catalyzed reactions with the aim of maximizing performance. Compared to existing Bayesian optimization methods, we propose an improved algorithm that leads to better results under limited resources and time for experiments. To validate the versatility of BOA for the optimization of the turnover number in enzyme-catalyzed reactions, we benchmarked its per-formance for a biocatalytic C-C bond-forming reaction as well as an amination reaction. Gratifyingly, up to 80% improvement compared to RSM and up to 360% improvement vs. previous Bayesian optimization algorithms was obtained. Importantly, this strategy enabled the simultaneous optimization of both the enzyme’s activity and chemoselectivity for a cross-benzoin condensation.

When the ambient temperature decreases, physiological mechanisms that prevent heat loss are activated. However, under cold stress hypothermia develops, which significantly disrupts the functioning of the body and can be transformed into life-threatening. Preventive use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, especially diclofenac sodium and etoricoxib, has been found to reduce the severity of cold trauma. Given that their frigoprotective effect can accompany the impact on the synthesis of eicosanoids when exposed to low temperatures, it is advisable to study mechanisms for preventing hypothermia independent of cyclooxygenase, particularly the influence on energy metabolism. The aim of the study was to figure out the effect of diclofenac sodium and etoricoxib on the indicators of energy metabolism in the liver of rats after acute general cooling. Experiments were carried out on 28 sexually mature male rats, which were given diclofenac sodium (7 mg/kg), etoricoxib (5 mg/kg), or solvent 30 minutes before cold trauma intragastrically (in the intact control and pathology control groups). Acute hypothermia was caused by exposure of animals for 2 hours at a temperature of -18°C. Rectal temperature was measured before and after acute general cooling. The content of lactate, pyruvate and adenosine triphosphate  in the liver was measured and the lactate/pyruvate ratio was calculated. Diclofenac sodium, unlike etoricoxib, was found to significantly reduce the severity of hypothermia. Both nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs prevent energy metabolism disorders caused by exposure to cold, namely, reducing the concentration of lactic acid and the ratio of lactate/pyruvate, increasing the content of pyruvate and adenosine triphosphate  in the liver of animals. Etoricoxib normalizes the content of energy metabolism intermediates to their levels in intact animals. Diclofenac sodium has a similar effect, the expression of which is inferior to the selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor. Therefore, when administered prophylactically before acute general cooling, diclofenac sodium effectively prevents hypothermia in rats, surpassing etoricoxib. Etoricoxib completely prevents a decrease in the content of pyruvate and adenosine triphosphate, as well as the accumulation of lactic acid in the liver. Diclofenac sodium is inferior to etoricoxib in its effect on energy metabolism, which indicates other mechanisms of frigoprotective action of a non-selective cyclooxygenase inhibitor. The frigoprotective and energotropic properties of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs dissociate.

Tryptase test can be used as a clinical marker of mast cell activation. The present study is was aimed to identify variations in serum tryptase levels and their possible relationships with allergic reactions to protamine in low-risk patients undergoing cardiac bypass surgery. Thirty patients according to American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status III who underwent cardiac bypass surgery were enrolled. This prospective, non-randomised, clinical study was conducted in an operating room. Venous blood samples for tryptase measurements were obtained from cardiac bypass surgery patients upon admission to the operating room and immediately before and 30 min after the initiation of protamine administration. Signs of allergic reactions were recorded and management steps based on rapid effect response-based clinical assessments for diagnosis and treatment decisions during protamine administrations were described. Serum tryptase levels and clinical signs of allergic reactions, primarily mean arterial pressure (MAP), were recorded. Serum tryptase levels increased significantly and progressively during the bypass procedure (study power, 80%; sample size, 28; power of analysis, 99.8% with α=0.05); however, tryptase levels did not reach a sufficiently high level to confirm an allergic reaction. The MAP and heart rate decreased in 50% of the patients. Although tryptase increased significantly when compared with baseline levels, protamine-associated increases were not significant and failed to provide an unequivocal indication of an allergic response to protamine.

Published: January 2023

The aim of our research was to obtain new minimally invasive serum markers of fibrotic changes of liver in patients with chronic diffuse liver diseases of different etiology and compare them with traditional markers. 364 patients aged 30 to 66 years were examined: 221 women (60.7%) and 143 men (39.3%). Depending on the etiological factors, all patients were divided into 4 groups: group I consisted of 108 patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), group II – 143 patients with chronic hepatitis associated with virus C (CHC), group III – 56 patients with alcoholic liver disease (ALD), group IV – 57 patients with toxic drug-induced hepatitis (TH). The control group consisted of 30 practically healthy people. Using correlation and ROC-analyzes, we obtained minimally invasive diagnostics markers that show the risk of developing liver fibrosis. For patients with NAFLD these were the levels of HOMA-IR, TNFα/IL-10 and α1-acid glycopeptide content, which are better in quality of the diagnostic model than the traditional Forns index, APRI, FIB-4, AAR. For patients with CHC, these were the protein-bound hydroxyproline (HPp/b) /HPf ratio, phospholipids content, and IL-6, CD4+ levels, which are better diagnostic models than the traditional Forns index, APRI, FIB-4, AAR. The following markers were obtained for patients with ALD – TNFα levels, HPp/b and glycosaminoglycans content, which are better diagnostic models than the traditional Forns index, APRI, FIB-4, AAR. For patients with TH, these were medium molecular weight peptides content, IL-6/IL-10 ratio and CD4+/CD8+, which are better diagnostic models than the traditional Forns index, APRI, FIB-4, AAR. Thus, new minimally invasive markers of fibrosis in patients with chronic diffuse liver diseases have been obtained.

Published: January 2023

The aim of the study is to determine the efficiency and effectiveness of albumin solution in intensive infusion therapy for pregnant women with preeclampsia based on measuring indicators of central and peripheral hemodynamics, body water compartments, and markers of inflammation. 60 women were divided into two groups and examined. The first group (n=30) included women whose average age was 30.06±5.13 years, gestation period – 260.18±6.34 days. 16.7% of women in this group had moderate preeclampsia, 83.3% – severe preeclampsia. Patients of this group received standard intensive infusion therapy according to approved treatment protocols. The second group (n=30) included women, whose average age was 30.62±6.02 years, and pregnancy period 258.75±5.74 days. The patients of this group received intensive infusion therapy, like the women of the first group but in combination with a continuous infusion of a 20% albumin solution (8 ml/h – on the 1 st day; 4 ml/h – on the 2nd and 3rd day) and furosemide (0.05 mg/kg/h – on the 1st day; 0.025 mg/kg/h – on the 2nd and 3rd day) for 72 hours starting from the moment of the end of vaginal delivery or Cesarean section surgery. The comparative analysis showed that the dynamics of changes in the main indicators of homeostasis, hemodynamics, body water compartments and markers of inflammation in parturient women with preeclampsia strongly depend on the type of intensive infusion therapy. In women with preeclampsia, continuous administration of a 20% albumin solution immediately after delivery ensures the normalization of body water compartments till the 7th day of the postpartum period. It is the result of a rapid decrease in the total volume of fluid (by 17.2%, p<0.001 from the baseline) and interstitium (by 31.8%, p<0.001 from the prenatal level). The provided treatment in parturient women with preeclampsia helps to ensure a eukinetic type of blood circulation from the 5th day of the postpartum period already. It is also accompanied by the restoration of adaptation mechanisms that participate in maintaining the proper functioning of the cardiovascular system. The use of albumin and furosemide solution infusion reduces the degree of the background inflammatory process by 3.8 times (according to the index of inflammatory activity IL-6/IL-10) which comes along with preeclampsia.

Notre travail questionner des œuvres contemporaines pour la jeunesse en langue française et allemande sur l’essence même de la honte, étudie ses manifestations et sa grande complexité. La honte menace autant l’intégration sociale des héros que leur affectivité car elle provoque non seulement une rupture avec leur environnement, mais surtout avec eux-mêmes. Ils cherchent alors une consolation à l'extérieur ou se replient sur eux-mêmes. Dans des situations d'humiliation, ils voient leur estime personnelle voler en éclats et le sentiment de honte éprouvé engendre des corollaires comme la violence, la colère, etc.

Dianas or Drudges? Women's status in the Last Ice Age
Authors: Bahn Paul G. , Clifford Elle
Published: January 2023

In recent decades there have been a number of endeavours to re-examine women’s lives during the last Ice Age.  For far too long, the view of ‘man-the-hunter’ and woman as ‘gatherer, cook and child minder’ was an unchallenged hypothesis, and without doubt, this simplistic view of early hunter-gatherer’s division-of-labour practices was ripe for revision. Unfortunately, it led to a number of over-zealous assertions: that women were big game hunters too, and as such, could not have been dominated by men. Breaking such stereotypes about prehistoric women is the message delivered in a recent documentary and accompanying book called ‘Lady Sapiens.’ But are such views about the roles of men and women in pre-history based on anything more than wishful thinking and result in fresh mythologising? Is there any archaeological evidence that allows us to assume anything about the economic activities of men and women in these early prehistoric cultures?

Təcrübələr psixologiyanı dəqiq elm hesab edir. Yalnız düzgün şəkildə aparılmış eksperiment nəzəri ehtimalları elmi nəticələrə çevirə, psixoloji və sosial fenomenlərin əsl obyektiv səbəblərini tapmağa kömək edə bilər. Eksperimentdə nəticələrin alınması üçün əsas və vacib olan verilənlərin statistik emalı metodudur.

Bu metodlar mürəkkəbliuinə və tətbiq sahələrinə görə fərqlənirlər. Bunlara həm sadə orta riyazi, həm də faktorlu reqressiya analizinin hesablanması aiddir. Statistik metodların eksperimentdə tətbiqi nəticəsi isə seçmələrin elə bir nəticəsidir ki, onu məlum dərəcədə ehtimal payı ilə baş məcmuya yaymaq olar.

Misal üçün belə bir fakt məlumdur ki, insan haqqında fikir yaratmaq üçün ilkin təəssüratlar daha mühüm hesab olunur və sonrakı təəssüratla müqayisədə daha çox rol oynayır.

COMPARISON OF FORGING LOAD, MATERIAL FLOW AND PRESSURE DISTRIBUTION OF THE UNI-DIRECTIONAL, BI- DIRECTIONAL AND TWO-STEP FORGING PROCESSES
Authors: Eyercioglu Omer , Tas Gulaga
Published: January 2023

Because of high productivity, closer dimensional tolerances, and minimal material waste precision forging (net or near net shape) processes have been used for manufacturing automobile components. The primary disadvantage of precision forging is the encountered higher tool stresses due to applied higher forging loads. Thus, forging load reduction is a higher priority in precision forging in terms of energy consumption and cost because higher loads required higher investment and higher energy consumption. Forging load is affected by several parameters such as temperature, material flow, the geometry of the billet, and punch movement. In this study, forging load, material flow, and normal pressure distribution in the forged part were investigated considering uni-directional, bi-directional, and two-step forging processes. FEM simulations were performed by using a solid cylindrical billet. To perform FEM simulations, the finite element analysis package (DEFORM 2D) was used. Also, experimental studies of the FEM models were performed. For bi-directional and step-forging experimental studies, a double-acting servo press was used because the movement of the top and bottom punch can be controlled accurately. Then the results of FEM and experimental studies were compared with each other. The results of the FEM simulations and experimental studies show two-step forging offers lower forging load and energy consumption whereas the uni-directional closed die forging process needs higher load and energy consumption
