INTRODUCTION:
Nationwide, population-based data on the risk of extrahepatic malignancy in patients with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) in Asian countries are scarce. This study aimed to examine the risk of developing extrahepatic malignancies in a nationwide cohort of patients with AIH.

METHODS:
Using claims data from the Korean National Health Insurance Service database, patients diagnosed with AIH between 2007 and 2019 (n = 7,382) were matched in a 1:8 ratio with an age- and sex-matched control population (n = 58,320). We compared the incidence rates and hazard ratios (HRs) of overall and specific extrahepatic malignancies between the 2 groups, while also examining the impact of immunosuppressant use.

RESULTS:
During a median follow-up period of 5.2 years, a total of 3,713 extrahepatic malignancies developed. The incidence rate of extrahepatic malignancy in patients with AIH (990.8 cases per 100,000 person-years) was comparable with that in the matched controls (937.6 cases per 100,000 person-years), with an HR of 0.93 (95% confidence interval (CI), 0.81–1.07; P = 0.30). However, a significantly higher risk of hematologic malignancies, particularly lymphoma or myeloma (HR, 2.66; 95% CI, 1.70–4.17; P < 0.001), was observed. The use of glucocorticoids (HR, 0.74; 95% CI, 0.31–1.75; P = 0.50) or azathioprine (HR, 2.12; 95% CI, 0.90–5.02; P = 0.09) had no impact on the risk of lymphoma or myeloma in patients with AIH.

DISCUSSION:
In this nationwide, population-based cohort, AIH was not associated with an increased risk of overall extrahepatic malignancy compared with age- and sex-matched controls. However, AIH itself increased the risk of lymphoma or myeloma, independent of immunosuppressant use.

Published: December 2024

University partnerships that join together institutions of higher education located in different parts of the world offer significant opportunities to educate all those involved (students, faculty, governmental agencies and participating private organizations). Students become more aware of the globalized environment in which they live and work; faculty build relations that expand their research opportunities and teaching skills, governmental agencies experience a different perspective on global business possibilities; and private organizations gain insights into world markets from the final reports and recommendations that come from such partnerships. This paper draws upon existing literature focusing on how to create and sustain productive university partnerships located in different countries and describes why such collaborations are central to the future of higher education and global business in general. The authors feature the steps taken to create an ongoing partnership between three universities (two in the United States and one in Morocco), whose students engaged with a private organization (the project’s “client”) seeking global business insights and opportunities. An overview of the project undertaken is also provided. The paper concludes with a call for development of more university based international partnerships and further research into what makes them successful.
Media Tone and Earnings Management before the Earnings Announcement: Evidence from China
Authors: Wang Huan 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This article examines the relationship between media tone and earnings management before the earnings announcement. Using data from China, I discover a positive relationship between media tone before the earnings announcement and earnings management. For companies whose managers sell their ownership in the next time and have prior media exposure, the beneficial relationship is more pronounced. The relationship between abnormal media tone before results declaration and earnings management appears to be weakened by external oversight. According to the findings, managers can use media slant in addition to earnings management as a way to increase stock price following an earnings announcement. I also find that managers may use two public channels to influence media tone before the earnings announcement: the distribution of preliminary accounting data and earnings pre-announcement. Our study expands on the media’s involvement in earnings management and offers proof of the concurrent use of multiple management techniques to artificially raise stock prices.

Published: December 2024

Abstract
The release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the environment considerably contributes to air pollution. To reduce the amount of these pollutants in the atmosphere, it has been necessary to introduce strict government regulations. In the bakery industry specifically, great attention is paid to the abatement of ethyl alcohol emissions released from the cooking chambers of industrial ovens. To control these emissions, VOC abatement devices are adopted, generally based on thermal and non-thermal technologies. After a detailed review of the most common systems for VOC reduction, the different technologies were evaluated by means of a technical-economic feasibility study focusing on an industrial bakery plant located in northern Italy, to identify the optimal abatement technology, intended as the solution that reaches the best trade-off among the legislative, environmental and economic aspects. Based on these considerations, the suggested choice resulted being the vacuum ultraviolet module, because of its efficiency and economic convenience.
MiRNA target enrichment analysis of co-expression network modules reveals important miRNAs and their roles in breast cancer progression

Published: December 2024

Abstract
Breast cancer has the highest incidence and is the fifth cause of death in cancers. Progression is one of the important features of breast cancer which makes it a life-threatening cancer. MicroRNAs are small RNA molecules that have pivotal roles in the regulation of gene expression and they control different properties in breast cancer such as progression. Recently, systems biology offers novel approaches to study complicated biological systems like miRNAs to find their regulatory roles. One of these approaches is analysis of weighted co-expression network in which genes with similar expression patterns are considered as a single module. Because the genes in one module have similar expression, it is rational to think the same regulatory elements such as miRNAs control their expression. Herein, we use WGCNA to find important modules related to breast cancer progression and use hypergeometric test to perform miRNA target enrichment analysis and find important miRNAs. Also, we use negative correlation between miRNA expression and modules as the second filter to ensure choosing the right candidate miRNAs regarding to important modules. We found hsa-mir-23b, hsa-let-7b and hsa-mir-30a are important miRNAs in breast cancer and also investigated their roles in breast cancer progression.

Abstract
Monochorionic twin pregnancies are a subset of twin pregnancies that face potential complications related to a shared circulation between the fetuses. These complications are related to anastomotic placental vessels connecting the cardiovascular systems of the two fetuses, which can result in significant sequela if one twin experiences intrauterine death. The sudden cardiovascular collapse in this scenario leads to a massive blood shift away from the healthy co-twin, significantly jeopardizing its life and long-term neurodevelopmental outcome. Such conditions include selective fetal growth restriction with abnormal Doppler findings, twin-twin transfusion with impending death in one twin and discordant fetal anomalies, for which fetal interventions are ineffective in improving outcomes or preventing the imminent death of the abnormal twin. Obstetricians have a professional obligation to respect the autonomy of pregnant patients and to maximize beneficence-based obligations to both pregnant and fetal patients. The goal of a selective termination is to maximize the health and life of the surviving fetal patient. It is recommended that policymakers consider including selective termination as an exemption to abortion ban laws.

Published: December 2024

Abstract
Poly(l-lactide-co-caprolactone) (PLCL) is the polymeric material with good biodegradability and biocompatible properties, but it is insufficient in strength properties that the pure PLCL is performed as orthopedic bandage. The PLCL has been blended with the laponite which is modified by cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) to prepare composited bandage splines. The organic-modified laponite (OM-laponite) results of Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and thermogravimetry analysis (TG) indicate that the laponite was successfully grafted with CTAB and the thermal stability was improved with increasing CTAB. The mechanical properties reveal that elongation at break strengthen with the increasing OM-laponite. When the content of OM-laponite is 2.0 %, the elongation at break and tensile strength of composited spline are superior to the medical orthopedic bandage. The results of thermal stability show that it was helpful to improve the crystallization properties of PLCL with the addition of OM-laponite. The water contact angle results demonstrate that the hydrophilicity is enhanced and is beneficial to cell adhesion. The results of cell experiment illustrate that the composite materials have a certain effect on cell proliferation when the content of OM-laponite is less than 2 %. Compared with the medical orthopedic bandage, it is satisfied with the application requirements.

Abstract

Objectives
Urinary incontinence (UI) is defined as any type of involuntary loss of urine. Pathophysiological changes that occur in the urinary system due to aging, especially ischemia, cause functional and structural changes in the urinary system. Oxidative stress is caused by an imbalance between the body’s oxidative radicals and antioxidant defense systems. In this study, we aimed to investigate the link between UI and oxidative stress indicators in older people.

Methods
Patients were divided into two groups: the group with incontinence and the group without incontinence. A comprehensive geriatric evaluation was performed on all patients, and they were compared according to serum native thiol, disulfide, and ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) levels.

Results
A total of 145 patients aged 65 years and older were included in the study (44, incontinence; 101, continence). The median age of individuals with UI was 75 (69–83) years. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves were made to determine the cut-off for thiol-disulfide homeostasis and IMA. Disulfide and native thiol divide disulfide values ​​were more significant than other oxidative stress parameters. The Area Under the Curve (AUC) values were 0.65 (95 % CI:0.55–0.74) for disulfide and 0.60 (95 %CI:0.50–0.70) for disulfide divide native thiol (p=0.005, p=0.049, respectively).

Conclusions
Thiol disulfide homeostasis and IMA molecules, which are indicators of oxidative stress, were found to have significantly higher levels of disulfide and disulfide divide native thiol in patients with incontinence. We think it may be important to look at the possible therapeutic benefits of paying attention to the levels of these molecules in relation to the management of UI in older people.
A pilot evaluation of the diagnostic accuracy of ChatGPT-3.5 for multiple sclerosis from case reports
Authors: Joseph Anika , Joseph Kevin , Joseph Angelyn 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
The limitation of artificial intelligence (AI) large language models to diagnose diseases from the perspective of patient safety remains underexplored and potential challenges, such as diagnostic errors and legal challenges, need to be addressed. To demonstrate the limitations of AI, we used ChatGPT-3.5 developed by OpenAI, as a tool for medical diagnosis using text-based case reports of multiple sclerosis (MS), which was selected as a prototypic disease. We analyzed 98 peer-reviewed case reports selected based on free-full text availability and published within the past decade (2014–2024), excluding any mention of an MS diagnosis to avoid bias. ChatGPT-3.5 was used to interpret clinical presentations and laboratory data from these reports. The model correctly diagnosed MS in 77 cases, achieving an accuracy rate of 78.6%. However, the remaining 21 cases were misdiagnosed, highlighting the model’s limitations. Factors contributing to the errors include variability in data presentation and the inherent complexity of MS diagnosis, which requires imaging modalities in addition to clinical presentations and laboratory data. While these findings suggest that AI can support disease diagnosis and healthcare providers in decision-making, inadequate training with large datasets may lead to significant inaccuracies. Integrating AI into clinical practice necessitates rigorous validation and robust regulatory frameworks to ensure responsible use.
Russian Historiography of Polish Nationalism in the End of the 19th – Beginning of the 20th Century: Network Analysis
Authors: Durov Viktor 
Published: December 2024

Introduction. This article presents the possibilities of using network analysis in historiography. The theoretical basis of network analysis is the mathematical theory of networks, which allows creating a model of the Russian scientific community thanks to the scientometric analysis of publications of historians. The purpose of the study is to examine the formation and development of the Russian historiography of the “Polish question” in the late 19th and early 20th centuries to identify scientific schools and features of the interaction of the professional community. Methods and materials. The basis for the study was the work published in the period from 1917 to the present. The historians were grouped into two groups: the Soviet period (1917–1991) and the modern period (1991–2023). Network analysis was performed using the UCINET 6.757. The matrix and attribute table were formed in MS Excel. The network was visualized in the NetDraw. The relationship between the authors was established by the fact of citation. Analysis. The novelty of the study lies in the fact that for the first time in Russian science, the network analysis technique was applied to examine the historiography of Polish nationalism in the 1880s–1918. The results obtained made it possible to consider the structural features of the network of Polonist historians in our country and the dynamics of its formation. The study showed a number of factors influencing the formation of a subgroup of Russian historians and the position of authors in the network itself. Results. The author notes a decrease today in the number of large collective studies and citations by colleagues of each other in comparison with the Soviet period. Peaks in the growth of the number of publications and the number of authors are noted in the work; an explanation is given for these phenomena. The technique tested is considered promising for historiographic research.
Corruption in the Local Government System of the Russian State (According to Investigative Cases of the 1590–1630s)
Authors: Arakcheev Vladimir 
Published: December 2024

Introduction. The purpose of the article is to study how corruption was understood in the Moscow state and how the fight against it was carried out in the system of local government to show the vector of institutional shift in the Russian state of the late 16th – first third of the 17th century. Methods and materials. The subject of the analysis is three investigative cases of corruption revealed during the 1590–1630s in three regions of Russia: Veliky Novgorod, Pskov, and Sviyazhsk. The investigation of cases was carried out using searches, which consist of questions from detectives and consolidated answers from people being interviewed, sealed with their assault. Analysis. During the study, a reconstruction of the corruption networks created by the clerk and governors was carried out, the methods and forms of obtaining illegal profits were studied, and an assessment was made of its volume and the scale of corruption in the Russian state. Administrators integrated into corrupt networks were punished with confiscation of their movable property and money savings and deprivation of office; sometimes the abuses they committed were not considered grounds for holding them liable. Results. Estimated calculations of corrupt profits do not convince that widespread ideas about the total corruption of the Russian administrative apparatus are justified enough. Corruption income of officials during the performance of their official duties and at the expense of the governed was illegal; by producing these laws, the state apparatus lost its patrimonial features and acquired a bureaucratic character, and the state became absolutist.
