Published: December 2024

The aim of this study was to determine the attitudes of medical trainees and interns towards ageism and the factors that influence their attitudes. The population of the descriptive and cross-sectional study consisted of 165 trainees and 495 interns, a total of 660 medical students. The Turkish version of the Fraboni Scale of Ageism was used to evaluate attitudes toward older adult among medical students. Students of male gender, medical trainees, not living with grandparents, not visiting nursing homes, those who do not intend to pursue a career in geriatric medicine, and no prior care experiences with older adults were more likely to have negative attitudes toward older adults (p<0,05). The conclusion of this study was that the students who took part were more likely to have slightly negative attitudes toward older adults. However, medical trainees have more positive attitudes than interns. It is recommended that medical students should have a geriatric rotation, that students should be counseled on this issue, that ageing and the ageing process should be included more in the curriculum, and that interaction with older people in clinical practice and field studies should be increased.

Цель исследования — выяснение отношения медицинских стажеров и интернов к эйджизму и факторов, которые влияют на их отношение. Популяция описательного и поперечного исследования состояла из 165 стажеров и 495 интернов, всего — 660 студентов-медиков. Турецкую версию шкалы эйджизма Фрабони использовали для оценки отношения к пожилым людям у студентов-медиков. Студенты мужского пола, медицинские стажеры, не живущие с бабушками и дедушками, не посещающие дома престарелых, те, кто не намерен продолжать карьеру в гериатрической медицине и не имеющие предыдущего опыта ухода за пожилыми людьми, с бо́льшей вероятностью имели негативное отношение к пожилым людям (p<0,05). Вывод данного исследования состоит в том, что студенты, которые принимали участие, с бо́льшей вероятностью имеют слегка негативное отношение к пожилым людям. Однако медицинские стажеры имели более позитивное отношение, чем интерны. Рекомендуется, чтобы студенты-медики проходили гериатрическую ротацию, получали консультации по этому вопросу, чтобы темы старения и процесса старения были шире включены в учебную программу, а также чтобы взаимодействие с пожилыми людьми в клинической практике и полевых исследованиях было расширено.

Актуальным направлением в научных исследованиях остается тема сроков манифестации возраст-ассоциированных заболеваний (как косвенного показателя темпов старения населения) после перенесения COVID-19. Ранняя прицельная диагностика способна существенно снизить последствия патологии, в связи с чем были изучены особенности манифестации различных нозологических форм в постковидном периоде. В качестве материалов выступили учетно-статистические данные муниципальных поликлиник Сахалинской обл. за доковидный (2017–2019) и постковидный (2022–2023) периоды. Проводили анализ медианного возраста пациентов с впервые установленным диагнозом и значений возрастного индекса заболеваемости по следующим нозологическим формам: болезни, характеризующиеся повышенным кровяным давлением; ИБС; сахарный диабет 2-го типа; глаукома; старческая катаракта и болезнь Паркинсона. Установлено «омоложение» сроков манифестации заболевания в периоде после пандемии. Между тем, снижение медианного возраста манифестации заболеваний происходило неравномерно: наиболее выраженное «омоложение» было характерно для болезней, характеризующихся повышенным кровяным давлением, сахарного диабета 2-го типа, глаукомы и ИБС. Очередность манифестации рассмотренных нозологических форм сохранялась в обоих периодах наблюдения. Данное обстоятельство подтверждается как медианным возрастом пациентов, так и возрастным индексом заболеваемости.

The topic of the timing of the manifestation of age-associated diseases (as an indirect indicator of accelerated population aging) after the transfer of COVID-19 remains an urgent area in scientific research. Early targeted diagnosis can significantly reduce the consequences of pathology, in connection with which the features of the manifestation of various nosologies in the post-COVID period were studied. The materials were the accounting and statistical data of the municipal polyclinics of the Sakhalin Region for the pre-COVID (2017–2019) and post-COVID (2022–2023) periods. The median age of newly diagnosed patients and the age-specific incidence index were analyzed for the following nosologies: hypertensive diseases, coronary artery disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, glaucoma, senile cataracts, and Parkinson’s disease. There was a «rejuvenation» of the timing of the manifestation of the disease in the post-COVID period. Meanwhile, the decrease in the median age of disease manifestation was uneven: the most pronounced «rejuvenation» was characteristic of hypertensive diseases, type 2 diabetes mellitus, glaucoma and coronary heart disease. The order of manifestation of the considered nosologies was maintained in both observation periods. This circumstance is confirmed by both the median age of patients and the age-specific incidence index.

Authors: Eser Mehmet Emin
Published: December 2024

Bu makale, XIV. yy. Mısır’ında Müslüman ve zimmî topluluklar arasındaki ilişkileri inceleyen bir dizi olaya odaklanmıştır. Sultan Nasır Muhammed’in üçüncü saltanat dönemi (709-741/1309-1341) olan bu zaman diliminde, Yahudiler ve Hristiyanlar, belirli kısıtlamalara ve zorluklara maruz kalmışlardır. Bazı kiliselerin camilere dönüştürülmesi ve özellikle Şehitler Bayramı’nın (Başan ayının sekizi) yasaklanması gibi kararnameler bu dönemde yayınlanmıştır. Ancak bu yasaklamaların zamanla unutulduğu görülmüştür. Bazı olaylarda, Müslümanlarla yaşadıkları anlaşmazlıklar sonucunda zimmîlerin cezalandırıldığına dair örneklere rastlanmıştır. Sultan Nasır Muhammed Dönemi boyunca zimmîler için bazı olumlu gelişmeler de yaşanmıştır. Avrupa devletleriyle diplomatik ilişkilerin kurulması, ülkede kiliselerin açılması veya yeniden inşa edilmesi bu olaylara örnektir. Ancak zimmîler için bazı olumsuz olaylar da kaydedilmiştir. Özellikle komşu ülkelerden gelen elçilerle esir iadesi konusunda yaşanan sorunlar bunlardan bazılarıdır. Sonuç olarak, bu dönemde Müslüman ve zimmî topluluklar arasında meydana gelen bazı olayların aralarındaki gerginliği arttırdığı görülmüştür. Sultan Nasır Muhammed’in onlara yönelik hoşgörülü tutumu ve komşu ülkelerle diplomatik ilişkilerin incelenmesi bu dönemin daha iyi anlaşılmasına katkı sağlamaktadır.
Nebi'den Veliye: Yüceltme Anlayışının Tarihsel ve Güncel Tezahürleri
Authors: Çiftaslan Gebel Mümine Kübra
Published: December 2024

Hz. Muhammed, Allah tarafından kul ve resul olarak gönderilen bir peygamberdir. Kur’an, onu insanlığa bir rol model ve en güzel örnek olarak sunmuş, olağanüstülüklerden uzak tutmuştur. Ancak, insan zihninin ürettiği peygamber anlayışı, zaman zaman aşırı yüceltmelere konu olabilmiştir. Bu yüceltme, yalnızca Hz. Muhammed’le sınırlı kalmamış, onun vefatından sonra başka insanlara yöneltilerek sürdürülmüştür. Özellikle tasavvufi yapılarda sevgiye verilen büyük önem, peygamberin yüceltilmesi konusundaki aşırılıkların bu anlayışta sıklıkla görülmesine zemin hazırlamıştır. Bu durum, veli olarak kabul edilen kişilerle ilgili abartılı anlatıların ortaya çıkmasını kolaylaştırmıştır. Bu araştırma, söz konusu anlayışın günümüzde de sürdüğünü ortaya koymakta, Nakşî-Halidî tarikatı özelinde, peygamberi yüceltme anlayışının velileri de kapsayacak şekilde devam ettirildiğini gösteren örnekler barındırmaktadır. Günümüz Türkiye’sindeki söz konusu oluşumların, pek çok telif eser ve video kaydı bulunmaktadır. Bu telifler, peygamberlik ve velilikle ilgili kabullere dair çeşitli örnekler içermeleri açısından araştırılmıştır. Araştırmada literatür taraması yöntemi kullanılmış, ilgili yapıların söylemleri analiz edilmiş, peygamberlik anlayışının velilik anlayışına nasıl yansıdığı incelenmiştir.

In the contemporary world, where technology has advanced and with the incidents of thefts increasing, more traditional locking mechanisms such as a single lock and key are needed to offer better security. New reliable, intelligent, and smart door-locking mechanisms are necessary to improve the security and safety of residential or commercial properties. This paper aims to describe the design and implementation of an Arduino-based door lock system that includes an LCD for displaying the related information, a servo motor that controls the door's locking mechanism, and a keypad that will be used for user input. The suggested method is password protected since it asks the user for their password before accessing a door. When a user enters an erroneous password more than a predetermined number of times, the system also offers the option to reset the password and lock it out for a predetermined period. An additional feature of using the GSM module is to implement a function that notifies the owner of any unwanted access by sending a message to them when the door is locked after the number of erroneous passwords exceeds the set limit, thus alerting the owner of any unauthorized access. The suggested model's incorporation of these elements contributes to increased security. An online 3D design and simulation tool called Tinker cad is used to simulate the system initially. Thus, the suggested model of a password-enabled door-locking system improves security and offers a solution that is easily adjustable and user-friendly by integrating the hardware components and offering thorough simulation and testing through the software simulation using Tinkercad software.

With multiple advancements in machine learning and deep learning a multitude of tasks that were either too complex to hardcode or even regarded as impossible can now be performed. This technology can be used to our advantage to determine someone's personality based solely on their perception and opinions. Nowadays, a lot of tasks involving the victim's personality are necessary for criminal activity surveillance, personality has started to play a significant role in mental health therapy as well as hospitality businesses are trying to monitor the personality of customers to provide better services. We can assist in the completion of such a work by combining deep learning with a classification-based machine learning model connected by a data pipeline. The use case can also be extended to hospitality businesses to understand the mindset of the patient and is also useful during selection of candidates for a particular job profile based on their personality traits. It is also used in many successful marketing campaigns to target specific audiences. We propose a combined classification pipeline that employs both unsupervised and supervised deep learning approaches such as K-Means along with LSTM, GRU, RNN and Autoencoders (Deep Embedded Clustering) to draw a comparative analysis between these approaches to analyze personalities successfully.

An Overview on Scleroderma
Authors: Pradeep Samudrala , Mitta Sandeep Goud
Published: December 2024

Scleroderma (systemic sclerosis), a complex illness, include severe fibrosis, vascular changes, and autoantibodies against several cellular antigens. Incidence rates range from 2.7 cases per million annually during 1947-1968 to 18.7 cases per million annually during 1972-1982. Prevalence estimates in the United States have also fluctuated, ranging from 138 cases per million during 1950-1979 to 286 cases per million in 1985. Though the exact cause of systemic sclerosis is not known, it is widely believed that both hereditary and environmental factors like parvovirus B19, Epstein-Barr, HLA DRB1*1104 and DQB1*0301 virus play a role in its development. The generally accepted classification of scleroderma is divided into two main subgroups: diffuse cutaneous scleroderma and restricted cutaneous scleroderma. Systemic sclerosis was often thought to be a dull fibrotic process, but there is now strong evidence that the pathophysiology of the disease involves an active inflammatory process. The majority of part of systemic sclerosis is determined clinically. When making a differential diagnosis, it is important to take into account a number of different illnesses that can resemble systemic sclerosis. The disease's normal progression cannot be changed by a conclusive treatment or generally accepted disease-modifying substance. Nonetheless, controlling the impacted system or systems has worked well. For better results, early diagnosis is essential. The effectiveness of treatment depends on clinical assessment, organ identification, and disease progression. In order to maximize the quality of life for impacted patients and stop more organ damage.
Tucaresol - Cyclophosphamide Combination Therapy: Proposal for a Safe, Affordable Alternative to CAR T-Cell Therapy
Authors: Penney Christopher L. , Zacharie Boulos , Duceppe Jean-Simon
Published: December 2024

Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy is a newer immunotherapeutic process in which genetic engineering is used to incorporate a receptor protein into a patient's T-cells thereby permitting the modified T-cells to recognize and eradicate tumors. Initially, CAR T-cell therapy was reserved as a last resort when standard cancer treatments failed to provide significant efficacy but subsequently, CAR T-cell therapy is finding use against earlier stage cancers. Since 2017, seven CAR T-cell therapies have attained FDA approval for treatment of hematological cancers. The latest approval, November 8, 2024, is for treatment of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. However, CAR T-cell therapy does not always provide a lasting anticancer response which leads to loss of tumor remission. The percent loss of tumor remission depends upon the type of hematological cancer being treated. Although currently limited to hematological cancers, CAR T-cell therapy provides cancer patients a significant increase in survival unattainable with traditional cancer treatment regimens. However, two significant issues accompany CAR T-cell therapy. The first is multiple toxicity issues which although occurring individually in a low percentage of patients, taken together constitute a significant probability of encountering a potentially fatal side effect. The second problem is the high cost of CAR T-cell therapy starting at $450,000 US per treatment. Contributing to both of these problems is the fact that CAR T-cell therapy is labor intensive which will exacerbate existing clinical facilities already challenged by a myriad of mutating pathogens and an aging population. Against this setting is proposed therapy consisting of clinical stage and FDA approved anticancer drugs with excellent safety records. Proposed herein is combination therapy with Tucaresol, up-regulates CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells, and cyclophosphamide, down-regulates Treg cells, as a convenient, cost effective cancer treatment.
Can Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity be Replaced by a Far Simpler Theory Which Only Relies on the Uniform Scaling of Physical Properties?
Authors: Buenker Robert J.
Published: December 2024

In 1960 Schiff published a paper which questioned to what extent the full formalism of Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity (GRT) is required in the calculation of three key experimental effects (the gravitational red shift, the deflection of light rays that pass close to the Sun, and the precession of the perihelion of Mercury’s orbit around the Sun), but rather “may be correctly inferred from weaker assumptions that are well established by other experimental evidence.” He noted that the method he employed was not capable of describing the third of the above effects, however. In the present work it will be shown that the latter deficiency has been removed by expanding his scaling procedure to cover the acceleration due to gravity g in Newton’s theory of gravitation, thus further strengthening his argument against the essentiality of GRT. In addition, the scaling procedure has been extended to include other key physical quantities such as energy, momentum and force and even the Universal Gravitation Constant G. The significance of these theoretical developments for the terrestrial experiments of Pound et al., is also discussed.
Concurrent Acute Appendicitis and Epiploic Appendagitis: A Rare Clinical Case
Authors: Khalili Haytham Al , Jaafar Ayman , ALakkad Ashraf
Published: December 2024

Background: Epiploic appendagitis is a rare cause of acute abdominal pain due to ischemia or inflammation of the epiploic appendages, small fat filled structures along the colon. Because of its clinical presentation often mimicking more common conditions such as appendicitis or diverticulitis, it can be a diagnostic challenge. The appendix is equally uncommon in a subhepatic location, and this atypical location adds further to the diagnostic difficulty. Early recognition and treatment are important to prevent complications and to ensure effective treatment. Case Presentation: A non-hypertensive, non-diabetic male presented with a 3-day history of continuous right upper quadrant pain, accompanied by nausea and vomiting. Physical examination revealed right upper quadrant tenderness with rebound tenderness, while laboratory tests showed elevated inflammatory markers. Ultrasound findings included a non-compressible, edematous blind loop in the subhepatic region measuring 9.2 mm in diameter. It is surrounded by stranded mesenteric fat, echogenic mesocolic fat, colonic wall edema, and a minimal free fluid collection. Based on these findings, subhepatic acute appendicitis with associated acute epiploic appendagitis was diagnosed. The patient underwent emergency laparoscopic appendectomy and removal of the inflamed epiploic appendages. Intraoperative findings confirmed a suppurative appendix in the subhepatic region and thickened epiploic appendages surrounded by inflamed tissue. Histopathological analysis corroborated features of subhepatic appendicitis and epiploic appendagitis. Conclusion: The diagnostic and surgical complexities of subhepatic appendicitis and epiploic appendagitis are illustrated in this case. Laparoscopic surgery remains a safe and effective treatment and imaging is important in identifying atypical presentations. Management of atypical acute abdominal pain presentations requires awareness of these conditions.
