Authors: Morsi Marwa Omar 
Published: November 2024

The development of the students' ability to process information through understanding, remembering, and cognition, as well as their reliance on many forms, such as classification of this information, analysis, storage, and retrieval when necessary, according to the student's sensory modeling systems (visual, auditory, sensory), which constitutes a unique way for her to receive knowledge and information. and experience, arranging and organizing this information, recording, encoding, and retaining it, and then recalling it when needed. Because of the significance of this, as well as the fact that the educational curricula used in teaching handball do not include those important information-processing strategies, as well as a lack of attention to sensory modeling (visual, auditory, sensory) that the student enjoys, the researcher resorted to better educational alternatives. By developing an educational curriculum for information processing strategy, sensory modeling systems were used to learn and retain some basic handball skills. The study sought to develop a learning curriculum that includes information processing based on sensory modeling (audio-visual-sensory) in order to teach the skill of shooting from a high jump in handball. In order to identify the difference between those with sensory modeling (visual - auditory - sensory) in the amount of information processing and in learning some shooting skill from jumping high with the handball, as well as the effect of the prepared curriculum. The researcher used a dual-design experimental method. This study was conducted on 86 female second-grade students at the College of Physical Education for Girls / University of Baghdad for the academic year 2021-2022. A sensory modeling test (visual, auditory, sensory), and a handball shooting skill test were also conducted. The researcher concluded the following:

The suitability of the information processing strategy curriculum for modeling women and their mental characteristics has resulted in positive results in increasing information processing ability and learning the fundamental skill of shooting from high jumping in handball.

The ability of female students with sensory models to process information is superior to that of female learners with visual and auditory models.

Published: November 2024

IntroductionFollowing early cell specification and tenocyte differentiation at the sites of future tendons, very little is known about how tendon maturation into robust load-bearing tissue is regulated. Between embryonic day (E)16 and E18 in the chick, there is a rapid change in mechanical properties which is dependent on normal embryo movement. However, the tissue, cellular and molecular changes that contribute to this transition are not well defined.MethodsHere we profiled aspects of late tendon development (collagen fibre alignment, cell organisation and Yap pathway activity), describing changes that coincide with tissue maturation. We compared effects of rigid (constant static loading) and flaccid (no loading) immobilisation to gain insight into developmental steps influenced by mechanical cues.ResultsWe show that YAP signalling is active and responsive to movement in late tendon. Collagen fibre alignment increased over time and under static loading. Cells organise into end-to-end stacked columns with increased distance between adjacent columns, where collagen fibres are deposited; this organisation was lost following both types of immobilisation.DiscussionWe conclude that specific aspects of tendon maturation require controlled levels of dynamic muscle-generated stimulation. Such a developmental approach to understanding how tendons are constructed will inform future work to engineer improved tensile load-bearing tissues.

BackgroundHepatolithiasis is regarded as the presence of stones in the intrahepatic bile ducts. Recurrent inflammation of bile ducts can bring many bad effects. How to completely remove stones is still a challenge.PresentationA 66-year-old male went to our hospital because of hepatolithiasis and choledocholithiasis. Selective hepatic arteriography and transcatheter arterial embolization followed by laparoscopic watershed hepatectomy under fluorescent navigation and laparoscopic common bile duct exploration on mass removal are performed.Clinical discussionFor patients who suffer from hepatolithiasis, the main treatment principles of the operation are to remove the stones, correct the stenosis, and prevent recurrence. The laparoscopic watershed hepatectomy under fluorescent navigation can provide important support for precision liver surgery, which can give some suggestions for future hepatectomy.ConclusionBased on the three-dimensional (3D) visual watershed analysis, trans-arterial DSA positive fluorescence navigation has some advantages, which successfully overcome the shortcomings of the reverse staining method and the positive staining method.

Switching attention between or within tasks is part of the implementation and maintenance of executive control processes and plays an indispensable role in our daily lives: It allows us to perform on distinct tasks and with variable objects, enabling us to adapt to and respond in dynamically changing environments. Here, we tested if yoga could benefit switching of attention between distinct objects of one’s focus (e.g., through practicing switching between one’s own body, feelings, and different postures) in particular and executive control in general. We therefore conducted a randomized controlled trial with 98 participants and a waitlisted control group. In the intervention group, healthy yoga novices practiced Hatha yoga 3x a week, for 8 weeks. We conducted two experiments: A purely behavioral task investigating changes in behavioral costs during switching between attentional control sets (74 participants analyzed), and a modality-switching task focusing on electrophysiology (EEG data of 47 participants analyzed). At the electrophysiological level, frequency-tagging indicated no interventional effect on participants’ ability to switch between the auditory and visual modalities. However, increases in task-related frontocentral theta activity, resulting from the intervention, indicated an ability to increasingly deploy executive resources to the prioritized task when needed. At the behavioral level, our intervention resulted in more efficient holding of target representations in working memory, indicated by decreased mixing costs. Again, however, intervention effects on switching costs were missing. We, thus, conclude that Hatha yoga has a positive influence on executive control, potentially through improvements in working memory rather than directly on switching.Clinical trial registrationclinicaltrials.gov, identifier [NCT05232422].

Published: November 2024

BackgroundAsparaginase is a critical component of chemotherapy for pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), but its use is often complicated by asparaginase-associated pancreatitis (AAP). Genetic predispositions, such as variants in the SPINK1 gene, have been linked to an increased risk of pancreatitis. However, the role of genetic factors in relation to asparaginase treatment remains incompletely understood, partly because mutations in pancreatitis-causing genes are rarely found in pediatric ALL.Case descriptionA four-year and three-month-old Chinese girl was admitted to our hospital due to fever for half a day, with no history of significant prior medical history. Initial blood tests revealed hematological abnormalities, including leukopenia, anemia, and thrombocytosis. Bone marrow aspiration identified 81.5% blast cells with B-lymphocyte morphology and immunophenotype, leading to a diagnosis of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). The patient began treatment under the CCCG-ALL-2015 protocol, which included PEG-asparaginase (PEG-asp). On day 10 of induction, she developed AAP, which was primarily characterized by severe epigastric pain and elevated serum amylase. Despite effective symptom management with analgesics and anti-inflammatory therapy, AAP recurred following administration of L-asparaginase (L-asp). Genetic analysis revealed a heterozygous SPINK1 c.194 + 2T&gt;C variant (rs148954387), a well-known pathogenic variant associated with increased susceptibility to pancreatitis. Sanger sequencing confirmed that the SPINK1 variant was inherited from her asymptomatic mother. The patient's AAP was managed conservatively, and an asparaginase-free regimen ultimately achieved complete remission without recurrence of pancreatitis.ConclusionsThe identification of the SPINK1 c.194 + 2T&gt;C variant, which is recognized as pathogenic, provides valuable information for understanding the heightened risk of AAP in our pediatric ALL patient. Our case underscores the potential role of genetic predisposition in the development of AAP and highlights the importance of considering genetic screening prior to asparaginase therapy in pediatric ALL patients to identify those at increased risk.

Published: November 2024

BackgroundHepatocellular carcinoma remains a health challenge for humanity. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop novel biomarkers with high efficiency yet fast ability to meet the requirements of hepatocellular carcinoma treatment.MethodsA total of 229 patients with HBV-associated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), 298 patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB), and 96 healthy controls were retrospectively analyzed. Methylation levels of the Mex3a promoter in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were measured using MethyLight to obtain clinical and laboratory parameters.ResultsThe Mex3a promoter methylation level in HCC patients (median: 0.289% and interquartile range: 0.126%–0.590%) was significantly lower than that in CHB patients (median: 0.999%, interquartile range: 0.417%–1.268%, and p &lt; 0.001) and healthy people (median: 2.172%, interquartile range: 1.225%–3.098%, and p &lt; 0.001). The Mex3a mRNA levels in HCC patients (median: 12.198 and interquartile range: 3.112–18.996) were significantly higher than those in CHB patients (median: 1.623 and interquartile range: 0.066–6.000, and p &lt; 0.001) and healthy controls (median: 0.329, interquartile range: 0.031–1.547, and p &lt; 0.001). MethyLight data were expressed as a percentage of the methylated reference (PMR) value. The Mex3a PMR value was negatively correlated with the mRNA expression level (Spearman’s R = −0.829 and p &lt; 0.001). The Mex3a PMR value of HCC patients was significantly correlated with age (Spearman’s R = 0.113 and p = 0.044), and the mRNA level was significantly correlated with ALT (Spearman’s R = 0.132 and p = 0.046). The Mex3a promoter methylation levels and mRNA levels were also independent factors in the development of liver cancer. The Mex3a promoter methylation and mRNA levels were better at distinguishing HCC from CHB than AFP [area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) for predicting HCC vs. CHB: 0.915 vs. 0.715: p &lt; 0.001]. The combined use of AFP and Mex3a methylation levels and mRNA levels further improved the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve.ConclusionThe presence of Mex3a promoter hypomethylation in hepatocellular carcinoma can be used as a non-invasive biomarker for the early detection of liver cancer.

BackgroundMental health professionals require exceptional communication skills and the ability to maintain an empathetic and authentic attitude within the therapeutic relationship. It is crucial that they achieve an optimal balance of physical, mental, and social wellbeing to enhance their performance in this context. This necessity has sparked a growing interest in promoting mental health among these professionals by focusing on the evaluation of both Positive Mental Health and the Sense of Humor.ObjectiveTo assess the level of sense of humor and positive mental health, and to analyse the relationships between the sense of humor construct, the positive mental health construct, and the sociodemographic, occupational, and educational characteristics of mental health professionals who care for patients in hospital and community settings.MethodsAn observational, descriptive, and cross-sectional with a non-experimental quantitative approach study has been carried out. The study was conducted involving 130 mental health care professionals. Levels of sense of humor and positive mental health were evaluated using authenticated questionnaires, while the relationship between these two constructs and the sociodemographic, occupational, and training characteristics of health workers were analyzed following STROBE guidelines.ResultsThe study involved 130 professionals, predominantly women (71.5%), with an average age of 41.4 years. The majority were nurses (45.4%) with varied work experience and educational levels. Regarding the PMHQ questionnaire, an average score of 102.6 was achieved in the general evaluation, showing an insignificant relationship with sociodemographic and occupational variables. However, a significant trend regarding age and autonomy was noted. On the other hand, the Multidimensional Sense of Humor Questionnaire produced an average score of 67.3, also without significant correlations with the variables under scrutiny. Although no positive relationships were found between the general scores of Positive Mental Health Questionnaire and Multidimensional Sense of Humor Questionnaire, a positive correlation emerged between the use of humor and situational control. In summary, the findings suggest that the level of autonomy and the use of humor may be associated with specific sociodemographic and occupational characteristics, although the precise relationship remains complex and requires further research.
