Authors: Chawla Raman , Ahamad Wasim , Sharma Vivek
Published: November 2019

:

Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) has revolutionized the management of Coronary Artery Disease and has become the preferred modality of revascularization in a majority of cases. Nevertheless, situations are encountered frequently where device deliverability to coronary lesions entails technical difficulties due to varied anatomies and lesional complexities like tortuosity, calcifications, length of lesions and vessel morphology. While continuous technological refinements are occurring in PCI hardware armamentarium and stent designs, a number of techniques and their modifications and variations have evolved to increase the applicability of PCI to difficult lesions.

:

The present article envisages a thorough review of all aspects of improving successful device deliverability in complex PCI with prominent emphasis on increasing the backup support of Guide Catheters which is the primary factor of success in difficult coronary lesions.

Authors: Gonel Ataman , Koyuncu Ismail , Aksoy Mustafa , Celik Hakim
Published: November 2019

Background:

Lipoid proteinosis (LP) is an autosomal recessive transfer lysosomal
storage disease that is characterized by the accumulation of hyalin substance in the mucous
membranes, skin, internal organs, and brain. Thus far, no biochemical diagnostic
method has been identified.

Objective:

The aim of this study was to determine the carnitine and acylcarnitine metabolic
profiles of LP patients and to examine the potential of LC-MS/MS as a new biochemical
method for the identification of biochemical markers.

Methods:

In this study, 27 carnitine and acylcarnitine esters were measured with LCMS/
MS in serum samples taken from 14 healthy control subjects and 14 patients. The patients,
who presented at the Skin and Venereal Diseases Polyclinic, were diagnosed with LP
on the basis of clinical, radiological, and histopathological examinations.

Results:

The results of the study showed that the C0 (free carnitine) C3, C4, C4:DC, C5DC,
C6, C8, C14:1, C14:2, C16, and C18 acylcarnitines were statistically significantly reduced in
the LP patients (p < 0.05, p < 0.01).

Conclusion:

It was concluded that the application of carnitine profile screening, an inexpensive,
rapid, and reliable method, as a supporting laboratory test could make a contribution to
the differential diagnosis for individuals with suspected LP.

Authors: Aman E. E.
Published: November 2019

The article discusses the problem of improving the quality and competitiveness of MEMS based on the structural kinematic model built on new physical principles and laws. The relevancy is conditioned by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No.328 dated 15 April 2014 «On Approval of the State Program of the Russian Federation «Development of Industry and Improvement of its Competitive Ability». Russian MEMS-sensors, being part of import substitution, need a wide nomenclature of sensitive elements differing by construction principles, with an option of using the domestic element base and a partial refusal from conventional decisions. An example of the said solutions is a «converted» power sensor operating in the self-oscillations mode, which has simplified engineering manufacture solutions and guaranteed high power characteristics. The paper discusses algorithm for development of constructive-kinematic model of primary inertial sensor with magneto-electric or electro-magnetic compensatory converter.

Authors: Korobeinikov A. V. , Osipov V. S.
Published: November 2019

It has been revealed, that useful properties of codes with low mean sidelobe level of autocorrelation function are manifested when the impulses pack is jointly processed in the form of low relative level sidelobes of cumulative autocorrelation function. The use of codes with low mean sidelobe level potentially allows to provide the lowest sidelobe level of cumulative autocorrelation function in case of non-coherent accumulation, as well as to ensure a low sidelobe level in case of coherent accumulation. Criteria of search of codes with low mean sidelobe level lasting from 10 to 26 elements by method of exhaustive search, way of the formation of packs from them the probing impulses, the reached sidelobes levels of cumulative autocorrelation function and comparison with M-sequences at a non-coherent and coherent ways of accumulation are given in work.
Use of Health Apps by Nurses for Professional Purposes: Web-Based Survey Study (Preprint)
Authors: Mayer Miguel Angel , Rodríguez Blanco Octavi , Torrejon Antonio
Published: November 2019

BACKGROUND

In the last few years, the number of mobile apps for health professionals has increased exponentially. Nevertheless, there is a lack of knowledge about the professional use, training requirements, and quality perception of these apps among health care professionals such as nurses. Considering that the nursing profession is the largest segment of health care workforce in many countries such as Spain, the impact of the use of health apps by these professionals can be critical to the future of modern health care.

OBJECTIVE

The main objective of this study was to determine if nurses were using health apps professionally and what types of apps they were using. The secondary objectives were (1) to find out if, among nurses, there is a need for training in the use of health apps and (2) to explore nurses’ perceptions of health professional apps, determining whether there is a need for a certification process for health apps and the type of institution or organization that should review and validate these apps for professional use.

METHODS

After an initial piloting survey, all registered nurses at the Nursing Association of Barcelona were invited to participate in a 34-item online survey. Eventually, 1293 nurses participated in the survey; however, 52 did not complete the survey properly, omitting both age or gender information, and they were excluded from the analysis.

RESULTS

About half of the respondents (600/1241, 48.35%) had health professional apps installed on their devices and were included for analysis. Most participants in the survey were women (474/600, 79.0%) and the remaining were men (126/600, 21.0%). The most popular types of apps used and installed among nurses were related to drug information, health calculators, and health guidelines. Overall, 97.0% (582/600) of nurses thought that the health apps should be certified, and 80.0% (480/600) agreed that the certification process should be carried out by professional or health institutions. Furthermore, 14.5% (87/600) of participants mentioned that they were asked by their patients to prescribe a health app and only 6.5% (28/430) recommended them often. Most nurses (354/433, 81.8%) who answered the question about the importance of receiving specific training on using and prescribing health apps considered this point a very relevant issue.

CONCLUSIONS

About half of the nurses in Catalonia use health apps for professional purposes, and they believe that these types of tools should be validated and certified by health or professional institutions before using them in clinical environments. Although the prescription of health apps in clinical environments is infrequent among nurses, they would be willing to prescribe apps if they were certified by a health organization. Finally, among nurses, there is a need for training in using and prescribing health apps for health care purposes.

Authors: Cui Zhigang , Yin Zhihua , Cui Lei
Published: November 2019

BACKGROUND

Background:H19 gene is maternally expressed imprinted oncofetal gene. This study aimed to explore distribution pattern and intellectual structure of H19 in cancer.

OBJECTIVE

Published scientific 826 papers related to H19 from Jan 1st, 2000 to March 22st, 2019 were obtained from the Web of Science core collection.

METHODS

We performed extraction of keywords and co-word matrix construction using BICOMB software. Then gCLUTO software, ucinet, excel software, Citespace, Vosviewer were successfully used for double -cluster analysis, social network analysis, Strategic coordinate analysis, co-citation analysis, and journal analysis.

RESULTS

We analyzed the distributions of included article of H19, identified 34 high-frequency keywords and classified them into 6 categories. Through co-word analysis and co-citation analysis for these categories, we identified the hotspot areas and intellectual basis about H19 in cancer research. Then the prospects of hotspots and their associations were accesssed by strategic coordinate diagrams and social network diagrams.

CONCLUSIONS

6 research categories of 34 high-frequency keywords could represent the theme trends on H19 to some extent. Mir-675, cancer metastasis and risk, Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, SNP, and ceRNA network were core and mature research areas in this field. There is a lack of promising areas of H19 research. Matouk(2006) article play a key role in H19 research, and Murphy SK(2006)and Luo M(2013) articles serve knowledge transmission as pivotal study.
Are Wikipedia statistics useful in evaluating public interest in neurosurgical diseases? (Preprint)
Authors: Szmuda Tomasz , Ali Shan , Słoniewski Paweł
Published: November 2019

BACKGROUND

Wikipedia, a free, semi-editable online encyclopedia, is currently the fifth most popular website worldwide. It is a leading source of medical information for the public.

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate to what extent Wikipedia page view statistics can assess the public interest in neurosurgical diseases.

METHODS

The Wikipedia Massviews statistics tool was used to find the top ten and bottom ten pages on Wikipedia under the category “Neurosurgery” from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2018. The top ten pages were analyzed for page view correlations with time, the languages available, the top five redirects and the respective PubMed data.

RESULTS

The most popular neurosurgical pages on Wikipedia were: Subarachnoid hemorrhage, Neurosurgery, Idiopathic intracranial hypertension, Intracranial aneurysm and Laminectomy. The bottom pages were: International Subarachnoid Aneurysm Trial, Dandy's point, Stereotaxic atlas, Traumatic pneumorrhachis and Decerebellate. More popular pages were available in more languages with the most popular being English. Users more often accessed Wikipedia on their phone browser than on desktop; this trend was also seen over Wikipedia English overall. PubMed publications did not correlate to the page views with time.

CONCLUSIONS

Despite the impact of media clamor, Wikipedia statistics offer valuable insight into public health interests and show how users access this information. Our study demonstrates that the most popular neurosurgical topics on Wikipedia are for aneurysms, stroke, hydrocephalus and spine surgery. These topics align themselves with the most common neurosurgery issues. We encourage physicians clarify any questions for the common well-read patient. This allows for a more efficient physician-patient interaction and can help highlight subjects of confusion for future patients especially since the readability of articles on neurosurgery is low.
Effectiveness of Exergaming in Improving Cognitive and Physical Function in People With Mild Cognitive Impairment or Dementia: Systematic Review (Preprint)
Authors: Zhao Yinan , Feng Hui , Wu Xinyin , Du Yan , Yang Xiufen , Hu Mingyue , Ning Hongting , Liao Lulu , Chen Huijing , Zhao Yishan
Published: November 2019

BACKGROUND

Individuals with mild cognitive impairment and dementia have impaired physical and cognitive functions, leading to a reduced quality of life compared with those without such impairment. Exergaming, which is defined as a combination of exercise and gaming, is an innovative, fun, and relatively safe way to exercise in a virtual reality or gaming environment. Therefore, exergaming may help people living with mild cognitive impairment or dementia to overcome obstacles that they may experience regarding regular exercise and activities.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this systematic review was to review studies on exergaming interventions administered to elderly individuals with mild cognitive impairment and dementia, and to summarize the results related to physical and cognitive functions such as balance, gait, executive function, and episodic memory.

METHODS

We searched Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Medline, Embase, PsycINFO, Amed, and Nursing Database for articles published from the inception of the respective databases to January 2019. We included all clinical trials of exergaming interventions in individuals with mild cognitive impairment and dementia for review. The risk of bias was independently evaluated by two reviewers using the Cochrane Collaboration and Risk of Bias in Non-randomized Studies of Interventions tools.

RESULTS

Ten studies involving 702 participants were included for review. There was consistent evidence from 7 studies with a low risk of bias showing statistically significant effects of exergaming on cognitive functioning in people with mild cognitive impairment and dementia. With respect to physical function, 3 of 5 full-scale studies found positive results, and the intensity of most games was classified as moderate.

CONCLUSIONS

Overall, exergaming is an innovative tool for improving physical and cognitive function in people with mild cognitive impairment or dementia, although there is high heterogeneity among studies in terms of the duration, frequency, and gaming platform used. The quality of the included articles was moderate to high. More high-quality studies with more accurate outcome indicators are needed for further exploration and validation of the benefits of exergaming for this population.
Development, Implementation, and Evaluation of a Personalized Machine Learning Algorithm for Clinical Decision Support: Case Study With Shingles Vaccination (Preprint)
Authors: Chen Ji , Chokshi Sara , Hegde Roshini , Gonzalez Javier , Iturrate Eduardo , Aphinyanaphongs Yin , Mann Devin
Published: November 2019

BACKGROUND

Although clinical decision support (CDS) alerts are effective reminders of best practices, their effectiveness is blunted by clinicians who fail to respond to an overabundance of inappropriate alerts. An electronic health record (EHR)–integrated machine learning (ML) algorithm is a potentially powerful tool to increase the signal-to-noise ratio of CDS alerts and positively impact the clinician’s interaction with these alerts in general.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to describe the development and implementation of an ML-based signal-to-noise optimization system (SmartCDS) to increase the signal of alerts by decreasing the volume of low-value herpes zoster (shingles) vaccination alerts.

METHODS

We built and deployed SmartCDS, which builds personalized user activity profiles to suppress shingles vaccination alerts unlikely to yield a clinician’s interaction. We extracted all records of shingles alerts from January 2017 to March 2019 from our EHR system, including 327,737 encounters, 780 providers, and 144,438 patients.

RESULTS

During the 6 weeks of pilot deployment, the SmartCDS system suppressed an average of 43.67% (15,425/35,315) potential shingles alerts (appointments) and maintained stable counts of weekly shingles vaccination orders (326.3 with system active vs 331.3 in the control group; P=.38) and weekly user-alert interactions (1118.3 with system active vs 1166.3 in the control group; P=.20).

CONCLUSIONS

All key statistics remained stable while the system was turned on. Although the results are promising, the characteristics of the system can be subject to future data shifts, which require automated logging and monitoring. We demonstrated that an automated, ML-based method and data architecture to suppress alerts are feasible without detriment to overall order rates. This work is the first alert suppression ML-based model deployed in practice and serves as foundational work in encounter-level customization of alert display to maximize effectiveness.

Authors: Nugroho Anisa Zahra Wijayanti , Kusrohmaniah Sri
Published: November 2019

This study aimed to see the effect of the murattal Alquran on the level of individual stress. Hypothesis proposed in this research that there was influence of murattal Alquran in change of stress level experienced by experiment group and there was difference of stress levels between experiment and control group. The experimental design used was randomized pretest and posttest control group design. The subjects consisted of 45 participants age 18-22 years old, then divided into experiment group (n = 23) and control group (n = 22). The stress level was measured by stress subscale krom Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale (DASS). Data were analyzed using ANOVA mixed method and the result showed the value of F = 10.386 (p < 0.05). That means, there was a significant change after listening to the Quranic murattal. The change in pretest and posttest score in the experimental group was shown with F = -5.957 (p < 0.05) and the control group had F = -1.136 (p > 0.05), meaning that there was a significant difference in the reduction of stress score of both groups . Moreover, the muratal Quran had an influence on changes in stress levels on the subject with an effective contribution of 19.4% (ETA2 = 0.194). Thus, the research hypothesis was accepted.

Ossuaries and Charnel Houses: Death, Resurrection and the Living
Authors: Tradii Laura
Published: November 2019

During my studies on the connections between Black Death and culture during the Renaissance, I have come across more than once with a  less known aspect of Renaissance Europe which has particularly attracted my attention. I am speaking about the concept/place of “ossuary”, a room or set of rooms containing hundreds of human bones (often arranged in the most peculiar forms) gradually becoming places of cult charged with symbolic meaning. In this brief article, I would like to illustrate the ways in which ossuaries reflect conceptions of death and resurrection through two relevant examples.
Mourning with Masks: Political Death and Virtual Life
Authors: Yaneva-Toraman Inna Zlatimirova
Published: November 2019

In this essay I explore how the V mask (Guy Fawkes mask) not only became a ‘re- sistance’ mask for the Turkish protesters during the 2013 Gezi Park demonstrations, but also how it visually transformed into a new image. I argue that this new face became a virtual ‘death mask’ for one of the killed protesters and that the image exemplifies a shift in commemorative practices. Furthermore, I examine the relationship between this mask and the process of mourning to dis- cover why the Turkish protesters decided to adopt this particular mask for the dead. This essay argues that the mask and the need to wear it can be explained as an attempt to keep the lost one alive by virtually becoming him. In this sense, the V mask transformed from being just a ‘politi- cal’ symbol in real life activist movements, into a new mask which signifies something beyond the political, that is, a more ‘personal’ connection with the deceased that in turn ‘resurrects’ him.
A Letter from the Editor
Authors: Fras Jona , Wesser Grit
Published: November 2019

[First paragraph of article follows] This issue of The Unfamiliar includes contributions on a wide range of topics related to the place of death in human social life. Alongside explorations of life-cycle rituals in Georgia; commemorative prac- tices and discourses surrounding a Russian monument for the deceased and a virtual ‘death mask’ image circulated by Turkish protesters, the issue also includes reflections on political violence in Iran; Euro- pean Renaissance ossuaries; and a poem that provides a more creative take on the subject. A common thread running through these pieces is the well-studied anthropological theme of death as an - often ritu- alized - event of ‘transition’ from one stage to another, rather than a decisive ‘end’. It produces persistent material reminders - such as bones, graves, monuments, and belongings of the deceased - that serve as loci for existing social ties to be maintained or new ones to be reconstituted.

LOVE END POBOTS. Will humanity become digisexual?
Authors: Maylenova F G
Published: November 2019

Mechanisms that help people in their lives have existed for centuries, and every year they become not only more and more complex and perfect, but also smarter. It is impossible to imagine modern production without smart machines, but today, with the advent of robotic android robots, their participation in our private lives and, consequently, their influence on us, becomes much more obvious. After all, the robots that are increasingly taking root in our lives today, are no longer perceived by us simply as mechanisms, we endow them with human properties of character and often experience different emotions in relation to them. The appearance of a robot capable of experiencing (or still imitating?) emotions can be considered a qualitatively new step in the life of a person with robots. With such robots, it will be possible to be friends with them, to look for (and probably get) support from them. It is expected that they will be able to brighten up the loneliness of a variety of people, including disabled people, lonely old people, to help in caring for the sick and at the same time entertain them with communication. Speaking about the relationship with robots, it is difficult not to mention such an important aspect of human communication as sex, which, on the one hand, is not only a need, as in all living beings, but also the highest form of human love and intimacy, and on the other - can exist and be satisfied completely separate from love. It is this duality of human nature that has contributed to the transformation of sex and the human body into a commodity and the development of prostitution, pornography and the use of sexual images in advertising. The emergence of android robots can radically change our lives, including the most intimate areas of life. The development of the artificial intelligence sex industry opens up a whole new era of human-machine interaction. When smart machines become not only comfortable and entertaining, but literally enter our flesh, become our interlocutors, friends and lovers who share our feelings and interests, what will be the consequences of this unprecedented intimacy between man and machine?
TECHNOLOGY ETHICS OF N. FEDOROV AS A successor OF NIETZSCHE’S IDEA OF SELF-OVERCOMING: THE UPBRINGING OF THE SUPERMAN AND THE SCIENCE
Authors: Kosorukova A A
Published: November 2019

The article is devoted to the consideration of the general principles of understanding of human development by N. F. Fedorov and F. Nietzsche. The article considers Fedorov’s philosophy of the common task to be a partial continuation of the general contours of Nietzsche's thought about the will to power. Nietzsche’s position is viewed through the prism of the concept of the will to power as a vital force overcoming the nihilistic devaluation of values (the ethics of vitalism). The concept of Fedorov is considered, first of all, from the point of view of his understanding of human self-improvement as the elevation of the power of human will over the blind natural elements. In this context, the question of the legitimacy of understanding Fedorov as an advocate of scientific and technological progress is considered. In the article, along with the parallels between Nietzsche and Fedorov, another idea of kinship of their philosophical optics through the understanding of philosophy as ethics is also carried out.

Authors: Cabral Farah Paixão Renan
Published: November 2019

RESUMOO ceratocisto odontogênico consiste em uma patologia benigna atualmente classificada pela OMS como cisto odontogênico de desenvolvimento. Acredita-se que se desenvolve a partir de restos celulares da lâmina dentária acometendo, principalmente a região posterior de mandíbula. Seu aspecto agressivo e seu potencial de recidiva conferem a esse cisto a necessidade de tratamento adjacente das suas margens, além da enucleação.  O objetivo desse trabalho é relatar um caso de ceratocisto odontogênico em região de corpo mandibular de um paciente, sexo masculino de 45 anos. O tratamento cirúrgico estabelecido foi de enucleação da lesão e curetagem associada a ostectomia periférica das margens e o acompanhamento pós-operatório de seis meses não apresentou recidiva da lesão. O paciente foi orientando quanto a necessidade de acompanhamento radiográfico. A enucleação seguida de tratamento complementar do osso adjacente é um dos tratamentos indicados para lesões císticas recidivantes e se mostrou eficiente no caso relatado.Palavras-chave: Patologia bucal; Ceratocisto odontogênico; enucleaçãoABSTRACTOdontogenic keratocyst is a benign pathology currently classified by the WHO as a developmental odontogenic cyst. It is believed that it develops from dental lamina cell debris, affecting mainly the posterior mandible region. Its aggressive aspect and its recurrence potential give this cyst the need for adjacent treatment of its margins, besides enucleation. This paper aims to report a case of odontogenic keratocyst in the mandibular body region of a 45-year-old male patient. The surgical treatment established was lesion enucleation and curettage associated with peripheral osteotomy of the margins and the postoperative follow-up of six months showed no recurrence of the lesion. The patient was advised about the need for radiographic follow-up. Enucleation followed by complementary treatment of adjacent bone is one of the indicated treatments for relapsing cystic lesions and proved to be efficient in the reported case.Key Words: Odontogenic keratocyst; jaw

Group A: normal control, Group B: negative control, Group C: positive control, Group D: DM rats with 100mg/Kg BW extract therapy, Group E: DM rats with 200mg/Kg BW extract therapy, Group F: DM rats with extract therapy 300mg/Kg BW. Blood sugar levels were measured on days 7, 14 and 21. Pancreatic tissue was prepared with 5μm thickness and stained with Hematoxylin Eosin. The sample was observed under 400x magnification microscope. The observation uses Image J software to measure the perimeter and diameter of the pancreatic insula. Data were analyzed by non-parametric Kruskal Wallis and post hoct Mann Whitney statistical tests. Blood glucose level was obtained on 21st day with the highest mean in group B (246.8±156.3) and lowest in group A (67.2 ±7.85), perimeter of pancreatic islet was significantly different (p=0.026), the diameter is significantly different (p =0.046). Ethanol extract of some cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp) leaves with dose of 300mg/kgBB helps to restore the blood and morphometry of pancreatic islet model of diabetic rats.

The financial performance used in this study consists of leverage, liquidity, solvency, profitability, productivity and coverage ratio. Tests were carried out on 37 companies whose sukuk were registered with PT PEFINDO rating agencies and had financial statements in 2011-2018 using multiple discriminant analysis (MDA). The results show that financial performance can form a prediction model for sukuk with a model accuracy rate of 89.2%. There are four financial performance variables that can form a prediction model, namely leverage with long term liabilities/total asset proxy, liquidity with the proxy of current assets/current liabilities, profitability with the proxy of operating income/sales, and coverage with proxy operating income/total liabilities.
European military naval industry: From fragmentation to Europenization?
Authors: Vukasovic Dejana
Published: November 2019

The paper analyzes the development and perspectives of the European military
naval industry. Since the EU is increasingly engaged in maritime military
operations in the framework of the Common Security and Defense Policy
(CSDP), this field of industry is becoming increasingly important for the
functioning of the EU as a strategic actor. Like other military industry
sectors (military aeronautics and electronics, land industry), the naval
military industry has undergone significant changes since the Cold War and
the process of ?banalization? that has affected it. The purpose of this
paper is to answer the question to what extent this field of industry is
?Europeanized?, i.e., whether we can discuss about the ?banalization? of the
European naval industry, and what consequences these processes have on the
national sovereignty of the EU Member States. In order to answer these
questions, the paper will first consider the process of ?banalization? of
the European military industry. Then, the analysis will focus on the naval
military industry sector. The author highlights the fragmentation of this
industry and its ?national capture?. Finally, in the third part of the
paper, the perspectives of the development of this industry are discussed.
It is argued that the European naval military industry is not yet
?Europeanized? and that EU member states continue to favor national
producers. However, in the light of new initiatives implemented in the field
of development of the EU military equipment market, the military industry as
a whole, and therefore the naval military industry, is moving towards
increasing homogenization and Europeanization.
The Impact of Reported Cybersecurity Breaches on Firm Innovation
Authors: He Chris Zhijian , Frost Tracie , Pinsker Robert E.
Published: November 2019

Many firms cite cyber risk as a primary risk factor due to the increase in cybersecurity breach (CSB) incidents. Existing research focuses on the negative, short-term impacts from CSBs, but the longer-term impact is still unknown. Our study investigates firms' levels of innovation following a CSB as an important determinant of firm growth and profitability. Examining reported breaches from 2005–2014, we find a 10 percent decline in research and development spending in the year following a CSB. Further investigation indicates that firms for which R&D is not the primary business model drive the results. We also provide evidence of a decrease in patents two years after a breach, an increase in cash holdings in the year after the breach, and a decrease in investment efficiency four years following the breach. Our aggregate results suggest that CSBs are associated with future strategic decisions involving firm-level innovation and investment decisions.
