Published: September 2024

Introduction : adiponectin seems to participate in the pathophysiology of comorbidities associated with obesity such as type 2 diabetes. Thus, we propose to determine the correlation of serum adiponectin to clinico-biological parameters in type 2 diabetes.
Methodology : this is a case-control study with a bio-anthropometric and a biochemical examination in all participants. The arterial stiffness and the endothelial dysfunction were evaluated. Serum adiponectin and nitric oxide levels were measured by the ELISA sandwich test.
Results : serum adiponectin was significantly lower in type 2 diabetic subjects (p<0.0001). In the control group, serum adiponectin was correlated positively with HDL cholesterol (r=0.279 p=0.005) and negatively with body mass index (r=-0.339 p=0.001), waist-hip ratio (r=-0.290 p=0.004), visceral fat level (r=-0.246 p=0.014), glycated hemoglobin (r=-0.215 p=0.004), insulin resistance index (r=-0.391 p<0.0001), apolipoprotein B–apolipoprotein A ratio (r=-0.226 p=0.024) and total cholesterol/HDL cholesterol (r=-0.199 p=0.047). In the diabetic group, serum adiponectin was correlated positively with HDL cholesterol (r=0.331 p=0.001) and fingers-toes pulse wave velocity (r=0.228 p=0.024), and negatively with heart rate (r=-0.224 p=0.027), reactive hyperhemic index (r=-0.364 p=0.126), total cholesterol (r=-0.212 p=0.034), and triglycerides/HDL cholesterol (r=-0.223 p=0.026).
Conclusion : serum adiponectin decreases with obesity. It would protect against insulin resistance and cardiovascular dysfunction during type 2 diabetes.

The Stellar Distribution in Ultrafaint Dwarf Galaxies Suggests Deviations from the Collisionless Cold Dark Matter Paradigm
Authors: Sánchez Almeida Jorge , Trujillo Ignacio , Plastino Angel R. 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Unraveling the nature of dark matter (DM) stands as a primary objective in modern physics. Here we present evidence suggesting deviations from the collisionless cold DM (CDM) paradigm. It arises from the radial distribution of stars in six ultrafaint dwarf (UFD) galaxies measured with the Hubble Space Telescope. After a trivial renormalization in size and central density, the six UFDs show the same stellar distribution, which happens to have a central plateau or core. Assuming spherical symmetry and isotropic velocities, the Eddington inversion method proves the observed distribution to be inconsistent with the characteristic potentials of CDM particles. Under such assumptions, the observed innermost slope of the stellar profile discards the UFDs to reside in a CDM potential at a ≥97% confidence level. The extremely low stellar mass of these galaxies, 103–104
M
⊙, prevents stellar feedback from modifying the shape of a CDM potential. Other conceivable explanations for the observed cores, like deviations from spherical symmetry and isotropy, tidal forces, and the exact form of the used CDM potential, are disfavored by simulations and/or observations. Thus, the evidence suggests that collisions among DM particles or other alternatives to CDM are likely shaping these galaxies. Many of these alternatives produce cored gravitational potentials, shown here to be consistent with the observed stellar distribution.

Abstract
The gas surrounding first-generation (Population III, hereafter Pop III) stars is expected to emit a distinct signature in the form of the He ii recombination line at 1640 Å(He ii
λ1640). Here we explore the challenges and opportunities in identifying this elusive stellar population via the He ii
λ1640 in M
⋆ > 107.5
M
⊙ galaxies during the Epoch of Reionization (z ≃ 6–10), using JWST/NIRSpec. With this aim in mind, we combine cosmological dustyGadget simulations with analytical modeling of the intrinsic He ii emission. While tentative candidates with bright He ii emission like GN-z11 have been proposed in the literature, the prevalence of such bright systems remains unclear due to significant uncertainties involved in the prediction of the He ii luminosity. In fact, similar Pop III clumps might be almost 2 orders of magnitude fainter, primarily depending on the assumed Pop III formation efficiency and initial mass function in star-forming clouds, while the effect of stellar mass loss is responsible for a factor of order unity. Moreover, up to ∼90% of these clumps might be missed with NIRSpec multi-object spectroscopy due to the limited field of view, while this problem appears to be less severe with NIRSpec's integral field unit. We investigate the potential of deep spectroscopy targeting peripheral Pop III clumps around bright, massive galaxies to achieve a clear detection of the first stars.

Abstract
Here we report the detection of dust depletion in a misaligned inner disk around UX Tau A using JWST MIRI spectra. Mid-infrared (MIR) continuum “seesaw” variability was detected in this disk by Spitzer and attributed to variable shadows cast on the outer disk by the inner disk. The JWST MIRI spectrum of UX Tau A also shows seesaw variability but with a significant decrease of emission shortward of 10 μm to nearly photospheric levels. We argue that UX Tau A’s MIR continuum variability is due to depletion of dust in a misaligned inner disk. We speculate that this dust depletion occurs because the inner disk is misaligned from the outer disk, which can disrupt the replenishment of the inner disk from the outer disk. Using contemporaneous measurements of the mass accretion rate of UX Tau A and estimating the amount of dust necessary to produce the MIR excess in the Spitzer observations, we estimate a minimum dust depletion timescale of ∼0.1 yr. These observations show that we can indirectly detect the signatures of misaligned inner disks through MIR continuum variability and that in some cases the inner disk may be significantly depleted of dust and become optically thin.
Clinical and radiographic evaluation of Ga-Al-As diode in immature permanent mandibular first molars direct pulp capping: A 12-month randomized controlled clinical trial
Authors: Shbat Laila , Makhoul Fadi , Kassis Joul 
Published: September 2024

Aim:
The purpose of this randomized controlled clinical trial is to investigate the effect of Ga-Al-As Laser, a type of low-level laser therapy (LLLT), on the pulp exposure of immature permanent mandibular first molars treated with direct pulp capping with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) in comparison to teeth treated with the same previous capping material without laser in terms of clinical and radiographic signs.

Methods:
Thirty carious immature permanent mandibular first molars free of endodontic symptoms were obtained from healthy children aged 6–9 years. The study was planned to cap half of the samples with MTA, while the other halves were subjected to laser therapy, followed by standard MTA capping. Assessment was performed at three separate times: immediately following the procedure (T0), after 6 months (T1), and after 12 months (T2).

Results:
The collected data were analyzed with SPSS version “24.” The results were evaluated using a two-tailed t-test with a significance level of 0.05 for correlated samples. Teeth treated with LLLT demonstrated improved apical development during the first 6 months, as well as superior analgesic characteristics throughout the first 12 h following the surgery, as compared to MTA alone.

Conclusion:
In addition to its analgesic and antibacterial properties, LLLT may assist immature teeth in completing the apical development process.

Authors: Samjhana G.C. , Pokharel Babu Ram , Acharya Sushila , Paudel Binita Kumari , Kandel Suresh 
Published: September 2024

Context:
Yoga practice during pregnancy offers numerous benefits for maternal and fetal health, yet its prevalence and acceptance among pregnant women in Nepal remain understudied.

Aim:
This study aimed to assess the prevalence of yoga practice and its acceptance as part of antenatal care (ANC) among pregnant women attending ANC at Rapti Provincial Hospital, Dang, Nepal.

Settings and Design:
A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted at the ANC unit of Rapti Provincial Hospital, involving pregnant women attending ANC visits.

Methods:
Data were collected through face-to-face interviews using a semi-structured questionnaire covering sociodemographic variables, family and health history, and yoga practice.

Statistical Analyses:
Descriptive statistics, Chi-square tests, and multivariate logistic regression were used for statistical analysis.

Results:
Among 227 respondents, 16.7% practiced yoga during pregnancy, with 50.2% perceiving acceptance of yoga in ANC. The practice and acceptability of yoga in pregnancy were significantly associated with age, ethnicity, age at marriage, husband’s age, employment status, husband’s employment status, and prepregnancy yoga practice in bivariate analysis. While taking those factors in multivariate analysis, practice was found to be associated with husbands’ employment status and prepregnancy yoga practice and acceptability was found to be associated with ethnicity, husbands’ employment status, and prepregnancy yoga practice.

Conclusions:
The study revealed the low yoga prevalence among pregnant Nepalese women, necessitating targeted interventions for its promotion during pregnancy. Integrating yoga into routine ANC could enhance maternal and fetal outcomes by educating women about its benefits and fostering supportive environments for practice.
Status of Health-care Systems for Diabetes Mellitus and Diabetic Retinopathy in Jordan: Stakeholders and Health-care Providers Survey
Authors: Allatayfeh Motasem , Al Shdaifat Amjad , Mariotti Silvio P. 
Published: September 2024

PURPOSE:
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the status of health services for diabetes mellitus (DM) and diabetic retinopathy (DR) in Jordan in terms of availability and accessibility by interviewing people engaged with health-care process including decision makers, professional providers, and community representatives.

METHODS:
This is a qualitative study where participants were invited to respond by direct interview to a standard questionnaire that is validated by the World Health Organization (WHO), “Tool for Assessment of Diabetic Retinopathy and DM Management Systems”. The questionnaire casts out of the WHO Health Systems Framework concept, assessing the presence of programs, guidelines, health technology and workforce, health promotion, and financing of DM and DR care in Jordan.

RESULTS:
Forty-two participants were included. DM is considered as priority in Jordan, but no programs are implemented. National guidelines are present for DM but not for DR. Networking should be improved between different disciplines caring for DM and DR. Human resources for DM and DR care were found insufficient and inadequately distributed. Health technology is only present in major cities and central hospitals. There is no nationwide data on disease burden nor a screening program for DR. More collaborated efforts should be spent on health education and raising awareness among people living with diabetes about the risk of DR.

CONCLUSION:
Advanced DM and DR care is not accessible to most people. Programmatic efforts from the government and NGOs must formulate a national action plan to reduce the human and financial impact of the disease in Jordan.

Authors: Razzaghi Shahryar , Khalili Ali F. , Faramarzi Elnaz , Motlagh Behzad F. , Zeinalzadeh Ali H. 
Published: September 2024

PURPOSE:
The purpose of the to determine the prevalence of cataract and study the relationship of smoking and other potential risk factors with visually significant cataract.

METHODS:
This is a cross-sectional study based on the Azar cohort databases including 11,208 participants aged 35–70 years of the general population. According to the questionnaire, participants were divided into five groups in terms of smoking. Eye examinations were performed in two steps. The first step was performed by an optometrist, and in the second step, participants with poor red reflex or visual acuity of <8/10 were examined by an ophthalmologist for diagnosing cataract.

RESULTS:
Of the participants, 4992 (44.5%) were male and 6216 (55.5%) were female, with a mean age of 50.1 ± 9.27 years. The prevalence of visually significant cataract was 7.2%. The frequency of ex-smoking in the male and female population in the cataract group was significantly higher than that in the noncataract group (male: P = 0.008, female: P = 0.01), but after adjustment for age and education level, lost its significance (male odds ratio [OR] = 1.1 [0.8–1.5], P = 0.4; female OR = 1.5 [0.5–4], P = 0.3).

CONCLUSION:
There is no association between cigarette smoking in different doses and the history of smoking with cataracts but other factors such as aging, education level, and underlying diseases including diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and myopia have statistically significant association with visually significant cataract.

Published: September 2024

Abstract:
Ophthalmology has been at the forefront of the medical application of big data. Often harnessed with a machine learning approach, big data has demonstrated potential to transform ophthalmic care, as evidenced by prior success on clinical tasks such as the screening of ophthalmic diseases and lesions via retinal images. With the recent establishment of various large ophthalmic datasets, there has been greater interest in determining whether the benefits of big data may extend to the downstream process of ophthalmic disease management. An area of substantial investigation has been the use of big data to help guide or streamline management of glaucoma, which remains a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. In this review, we summarize relevant studies utilizing big data and discuss the application of the findings in the risk assessment and treatment of glaucoma.
Big data for imaging assessment in glaucoma
Authors: da Costa Douglas R. , Medeiros Felipe A. 
Published: September 2024

Abstract:
Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide, with many individuals unaware of their condition until advanced stages, resulting in significant visual field impairment. Despite effective treatments, over 110 million people are projected to have glaucoma by 2040. Early detection and reliable monitoring are crucial to prevent vision loss. With the rapid development of computational technologies, artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning (DL) algorithms are emerging as potential tools for screening, diagnosing, and monitoring glaucoma progression. Leveraging vast data sources, these technologies promise to enhance clinical practice and public health outcomes by enabling earlier disease detection, progression forecasting, and deeper understanding of underlying mechanisms. This review evaluates the use of Big Data and AI in glaucoma research, providing an overview of most relevant topics and discussing various models for screening, diagnosis, monitoring disease progression, correlating structural and functional changes, assessing image quality, and exploring innovative technologies such as generative AI.
