Abstract

Background:
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a prevalent digestive disorder that impacts millions of individuals globally. Multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH (MII-pH) monitoring represents a novel technique and currently stands as the gold standard for diagnosing GERD. Accurately characterizing reflux events from MII data are crucial for GERD diagnosis. Despite the initial introduction of clinical literature toward software advancements several years ago, the reliable extraction of reflux events from MII data continues to pose a significant challenge. Achieving success necessitates the seamless collaboration of two key components: a reflux definition criteria protocol established by gastrointestinal experts and a comprehensive analysis of MII data for reflux detection.

Method:
In an endeavor to address this challenge, our team assembled a dataset comprising 201 MII episodes. We meticulously crafted precise reflux episode definition criteria, establishing the gold standard and labels for MII data.

Result:
A variety of signal-analyzing methods should be explored. The first Isfahan Artificial Intelligence Competition in 2023 featured formal assessments of alternative methodologies across six distinct domains, including MII data evaluations.

Discussion:
This article outlines the datasets provided to participants and offers an overview of the competition results.

Authors: Bezawada Sushma , Mehjubah  , Ravipati Vikranth , Pothanikat Joseph John K , Pothanikat Neeta Joseph , Padikadan Naveen Odiyil 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT

Objective:
This study aims to evaluate the relapse rate in pediatric patients who have undergone orthodontic treatment and identify the key factors contributing to orthodontic relapse.

Methods:
A retrospective cohort study was conducted involving 200 pediatric patients treated with fixed appliances between 2015 and 2019. Data collection included pre-treatment, post-treatment, and follow-up dental records. Measurements of dental arch dimensions, alignment, and occlusion were taken. Relapse was defined as significant changes in these parameters from post-treatment to follow-up.

Results:
The mean follow-up period was 3 years’ post-treatment. Relapse rates were observed as follows: mandibular crowding (35%, P = 0.015), intermolar width (20%, P = 0.032), intercanine width (23%, P = 0.025), arch length (18%, P = 0.048), and maxillary crowding (30%, P = 0.021). Significant predictors of relapse included poor retainer compliance (odds ratio 3.5, P = 0.002), severity of initial malocclusion (odds ratio 2.8, P = 0.004), and growth changes (odds ratio 2.2, P = 0.022).

Conclusion:
Orthodontic relapse is prevalent in pediatric patients’ post-treatment, particularly in mandibular crowding. Poor retainer compliance, severe initial malocclusion, and growth changes significantly contribute to relapse.

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT

Introduction:
Immunotherapy has revolutionized the treatment of metastatic melanoma, offering prolonged survival and improved outcomes. Checkpoint inhibitors like PD-1/PD-L1 have demonstrated significant efficacy in modulating the immune system’s response to tumors. This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the efficacy of these therapies compared to standard care.

Methods:
A randomized trial was conducted on patients with advanced metastatic melanoma, who were assigned to either immunotherapy or traditional chemotherapy. Parameters included progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and immune-related adverse events. Data analysis was conducted using appropriate statistical tests, with P values set at < 0.05 for significance.

Results:
Immunotherapy significantly improved PFS and OS compared to chemotherapy (P < 0.01). Adverse events were manageable and consistent with the known profiles of checkpoint inhibitors.

Conclusion:
Immunotherapy provides a superior therapeutic option for patients with metastatic melanoma, offering improved survival outcomes with manageable toxicity. Further research is needed to refine patient selection and optimize treatment combinations.

ABSTRACT

Introduction:
Congenital heart disease (CHD) is a chronic condition caused by structural heart defects, impacting children’s health across ages. The emotional distress experienced by mothers of children with CHD is profound, including anxiety, depression, stress, and grief. Understanding these emotional challenges is crucial for developing appropriate support systems for affected families.

Methodology:
This study employed a mixed-methods approach, using purposive sampling to select five mothers of children with CHD. Data collection was done through in-depth interviews following a phenomenological design. The interviews covered emotional responses to diagnosis, coping mechanisms, family impacts like sleep deprivation, and sources of support such as prayer and healthcare professionals.

Results:
The results revealed that mothers scored high for depression at 60.48% and moderate stress at 56.86%. Anxiety was relatively lower, with an average score of 49.43%. Family members experienced emotional strain and sleep deprivation due to the demands of managing a child’s chronic health condition. The support received from healthcare providers and social media was crucial.

Conclusion:
The findings underscore the severe emotional burden on mothers of children with CHD, with significant levels of depression and stress. While anxiety levels were lower, other emotional factors like grief and fear played a major role. Support mechanisms such as medical care and online communities were helpful but not sufficient. Targeted interventions to reduce emotional distress and improve mental health are essential for these mothers and their families.

Published: February 2025

Objective:
To evaluate the potential of immature platelet fraction (IPF) as a predictor of increased platelets in dengue fever patients.

Methods:
A cross-sectional study was conducted. We analyzed the medical records of confirmed dengue patients who were admitted to Udayana University Academic Hospital. Pearson correlation was used to assess the correlation between increased IPF and ratio of increased platelets in patients with dengue fever.

Results:
Between June 2022 and December 2022, 41 patients were included in the study. Their mean age was 45.0 ± 18.5 years, with males comprising 60.0% of the cohort. The initial mean platelet count was 107.7 × 103 cells/μL at baseline and increased to 128.1 × 103 cells/μL by the end of the observation period. The mean IPF was 1.9 ± 1.6%. A moderate positive correlation was identified between IPF levels and the subsequent increase in platelet count two days after measurement.

Conclusions:
IPF reflects the rate of thrombopoiesis in patients with thrombocytopenia and serves as an indicator of recovery in dengue fever patients.

Safety Assessment on the Safety and Efficacy of Bacillus Velezensis ATCC PTA-6737 (PB6) as a Feed Additive for Weaned Piglets, Weaned Minor Porcine Species, Sows and All Pig species. (RP1512)
Authors:   Food Standards Agency,   Food Standards Scotland
Published: February 2025

An application was submitted to the Food Standards Agency (FSA) and Food Standards Scotland (FSS) in April 2022 from Kemin Europa N.V. (‘the applicant’) for the renewal and new use (extension of species) to all pig species of an additive containing Bacillus velezensis ATCC PTA-6737 under the category ‘zootechnical’, functional group ‘gut flora stabiliser’. The additive is proposed to be used at a minimum content of 1 x 107 CFU/kg complete feedingstuff in piglets (weaned), minor porcine species (weaned) and in growing pigs, and at a minimum content of 1 x 108 CFU/kg complete feedingstuff in sows and minor reproductive porcine species. To support the FSA and FSS in evaluating the dossier, the Advisory Committee on Animal Feedingstuffs (ACAF) were asked to review the dossier and the supplementary information from the applicant. The FSA/FSS concluded, based on the ACAF’s advice, that the additive was correctly identified and characterised, and that it is stable for 18 months at room temperature, for 6 months as part of a mineral premix and a finished mash feed, and for 3 months after pelleting when held at a maximum of 90°C for 45 seconds. Homogeneity was also demonstrated. The ACAF concluded that the additive is presumed safe for the target species, the consumer and the environment due to its Qualified Presumption of Safety (QPS) status. The additive is not an irritant to skin or eyes but should be treated as a potential skin and respiratory sensitiser. The ACAF concluded that the additive is efficacious in weaned piglets at a dose of 1 x 107 CFU/kg complete feed. The Committee also concluded that the additive has the potential to be efficacious in sows and minor reproductive species at a dose of 1 x 108 CFU/kg complete feed. The Committee could not accept the applicant’s specific request for extrapolation from piglets to all growing pigs due to lack of evidence for efficacy when fed at the lower dose (1 x 107 CFU/kg) proposed in pigs. However, given the presence of three significant piglet trials and three significant sow trials the Committee was satisfied that the studies provided supported efficacy in all pigs when the higher dose of 1 x 108 CFU/kg was utilised for pigs in the fattening phase. The views of ACAF have been taken into account in the safety assessment which represents the opinion of the FSA and FSS.
