Published: February 2025

Objectives:
The treatment of Burning Mouth Syndrome (BMS) represents a challenge in
tailoring appropriate medication for individual patients. The augmentation of pregabalin to conventional
treatment has shown promising outcomes in relieving pain and improving the quality of life in
chronic pain conditions. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of vortioxetine with other antidepressants
(SSRIs/SNRIs) in combination with pregabalin in a cohort of unresponsive BMS patients
and to predict treatment response by using clinical data.

Methods:
A 52-week randomized, open-label, comparative clinical study was conducted, enrolling
203 BMS patients previously treated with one antidepressant for 12 weeks and non-responders to the
treatment (clinical trial registration: NCT06025474). The study sample included two groups: Group A
(136) received vortioxetine, while Group B (67) received SSRIs/SNRIs. Pregabalin (75 mg/day) was
added to both groups, with a potential dosage increase to 150 mg/day for inadequate responders after
12 weeks. Treatment response was assessed with VAS and SF-MPQ, HAM-A, and HAM-D scores at
12, 24, 36, and 52 weeks. Stepwise logistic regression analysis was used to predict treatment response.

Results:
A total of 84 (61.8%) BMS patients in Group A and 39 (58.2%) in Group B showed treatment
response. Group A reported a faster onset of action compared to Group B (44.8% versus 22.4% at time
1; p:0.002**) and lower adverse event rates (8.8% versus 20.8%; p:0.001).

Conclusion:
The addition of pregabalin to vortioxetine may be considered a potential treatment option
for BMS. Further research is required to corroborate these findings and optimize personalized treatment
approaches for BMS patients.
How TikTok Influencers Disclose Food and Beverage Brand Partnerships: Descriptive Study
Authors: Dupuis Roxanne , Musicus Aviva A , Edghill Brittany , Keteku Emma , Bragg Marie A 
Published: February 2025

Background
Food and beverage marketing is an important influence on the health and diets of adolescents. Food and beverage companies spend billions of dollars annually on advertisements to promote their products and are increasingly focusing on social media influencers. Influencer product endorsements blur the line between entertainment and marketing.

Objective
This study aimed to quantify how often TikTok influencers promote products from food and beverage brands and document the range of ways they disclose brand relationships in their content.

Methods
We collected up to 100 videos posted on or before July 1, 2022, from each of the top 100 influencers on TikTok in the United States and recorded information about the influencer (eg, number of followers) and video (eg, number of views and likes). For each video that contained food or beverage products, we identified the main product featured. A team of research assistants then coded each video for how the product was featured (ie, in the video, audio, or caption) and, for branded products, whether the video was accompanied by any disclosures of brand relationships. Average pairwise percentage agreement among coders was 92%, and average pairwise Cohen κ was 0.82.

Results
Among the 8871 videos from 97 influencers that made up the final analytical sample, we identified 1360 videos (15.3%) that featured at least one food or beverage product. These 1360 videos were viewed >9 million times and received >1 million likes each. Nearly half (n=648, 47.6%) of the videos featured a branded product. Most videos featuring a branded product did not contain a brand relationship disclosure (n=449, 69.3%). Among videos that disclosed a brand relationship, influencers used 10 different types of disclosures. Tagging a brand in the video’s caption was the most common disclosure method (n=182, 28.1%). Six types of caption hashtags were used to disclose brand relationships, including #[brandname] (n=63, 9.7%) and #ad (n=30, 4.6%). Only 1 video (0.2%) made use of TikTok’s official disclosure label and only 1 video (0.2%) verbally mentioned a contractual agreement with a brand.

Conclusions
Among the food and beverage videos with disclosures we identified, the most frequently used mechanism—tagging the brand—did not clearly differentiate between sponsored content and the influencer trying to attract a brand or followers who may like that brand. Social media users, particularly adolescents, need clearer, more robust disclosures from influencers to protect against the undue influence of food marketing. These findings may also inform calls for the Children’s Food and Beverage Advertising Initiative—the largest self-regulatory pledge to reduce unhealthy food marketing—to include older adolescents, who are heavily targeted by food and beverage companies on social media.
In Dialogue with Society: Democratic Engagement through Theatre
Authors: Jörgen Dahlqvist  
Published: February 2025

This research project explores how theatre can contribute to democratic engagement. The starting point was artistic probes investigating aspects of democracy: participation, deliberation and inclusion. The probes resulted in three productions presented at theatre institutions in Sweden. In Skapa Demokrati (Creating Democracy), participation was promoted by encouraging the audience members to create a democracy together. The performance thus allowed participants to experience a democratic process by actively engaging in the making of a constitution. In Öva Demokrati (Practicing Democracy), deliberation was in focus. The performance allowed the audience to deliberate on suggestions for strengthening Swedish democracy. Through methods inspired by political science, the audience was invited to speak and listen to arguments for the different proposals. In the performance, they were also presented with a variety of ways of voting to illustrate how different electoral systems can encourage engagement and give minorities a chance to be heard. In Monument, different strategies were used to promote inclusion. The project started with the idea that monuments say something about society. The monuments were used as vehicles to include voices from the residents of Helsingborg. The artwork presented these different experiences through a multi-perspective script. Other outreach activities also helped enable inclusion. Narrative analysis for theatre was used to reflect on these probes, allowing for a deeper understanding of how performances were conceptualised and structured, and how they made meaning for the audience. Lastly, the performance Ibsendekonstruktion II: Brand was written and staged to reflect on how the research has changed the artistic practice. The research has resulted in strategies for inclusion and a novel theatre format, the conversational theatre, which encourages participation and deliberation. These outcomes provide the theatre with methods to be in dialogue with society.

Meet the Yunani
Authors: Tolga Theo Yalur  
Published: February 2025

Meet the Yunani is my mix-up audio-visual-inscriptive artwork for the Unani or Yunani systems of medicine that are deployed in medical fraud. I deploy cognitive philosophy, art and science in this webart for the real settings of scientific hoaxes, the illusions concealed through prescribed fictions, and represented as the real. A mix-up audio-visual-inscriptive artwork for the Yunani, often touted as a "traditional" and "holistic" approach to health and well-being. In truth, the various versions of deploying Unani in medicine is inothing more than a parascientific hoax perpetrated by those aiming to capitalize on the growing demand for "alternative" and “natural” remedies. Unani (یونانی) is simply a rebranding of the Perso-Arabic medical traditions, which in turn were heavily influenced by the teachings of the ancient Greek physician Hippocrates, who, while pioneering advances in the human anatomy and physiology, also promoted a flawed model of the human body and health based on the concept of the four humours - blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile. Unani practitioners of the Perso-Arabic medical traditional medicine, accompanied by Judeo-Hellenic adaptations represented with the neoplatonistic tree of life sefirot (סְפִירוֹת / σφαίρα), Greek humours or "doṣas" (दोष) from the Ayurvedic medicine claim to have inherited this ancient Greek wisdom. In truth they have merely taken these outdated and disproven theories, given them an exotic-sounding name, and presented them as traditional wisdom. Unani's diagnostic methods and treatment approaches, from bloodletting to the use of arcane herbal concoctions, lack scientific bases and were thoroughly debunked by modern medical research. The allure of this “ancient wisdom”, however, continues to draw those in need of alternative healthcare, without knowing that they are falling victim to a sophisticated marketing ploy masquerading as traditional medicine. The Unani's mystical trappings are nothing more than a pseudoscientific hoax rooted in long-refuted Greek four humour theory.

The Blue Light LASER technology: a new progress in ENT surgery
Authors: Palaghia Sandra-Maria , Georgescu Stefania-Iuliana , Sarafoleanu Codrut 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The advent of Blue LASER technology in otorhinolaryngology has transformed the management of various ear, nose and throat (ENT) disorders. Its distinct wavelength (445 nm) offers superior tissue selectivity, minimizing collateral damage and optimizing surgical outcomes compared to traditional LASERs. Blue Light LASER’s ability to target haemoglobin and melanin reduces intraoperative bleeding, scarring, and thermal damage. Its precision and versatility make it a valuable tool in addressing complex ENT pathologies. However, limitations, such as shallow penetration and potential risks of thermal damage, necessitate careful application. While it requires specialized training and consideration of its limitations, its benefits in reducing complications and improving recovery times highlight its potential in modern surgical practices. The article aims to analyse the key characteristics of Blue LASER in ENT pathology, presenting also a case of a 57-year-old male with lingual tonsil hypertrophy and obstructive sleep apnea who underwent Blue LASER surgery for tongue base reduction.
CONCLUSION. Blue LASER technology ushers in a new era in ENT surgery. However, a thorough evaluation of its benefits and limitations is crucial to fully harness its potential in clinical applications.
Beyond the horizontal – impact of body position on nasal dynamics: insights from 4-phase positional rhinomanometry
Authors: Moideen Sanu P , Sistla Srinivas Kishore , Noorjehan Sabu Abdul Hameed , Sheriff Razal Mohammed , Samad Subina Beegum 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
BACKGROUND. Positive posture reaction is a common concern in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients, which affects both their sleep quality and overall health-related quality of life. Rhinomanometry has been used as a functional test to assess nasal airway resistance (NAR) and measure nasal airflow (NAF).
OBJECTIVE. We conducted this study using 4-phase positional rhinomanometry (4PPR) to investigate potential correlations between NAR and NAF when comparing the sitting and supine positions through the use of 4PPR.
MATERIAL AND METHODS. This cross-sectional study involved a consecutive group of adult patients (n=115) diagnosed with OSA, aged 18 to 60 years. 4PPR evaluation was conducted in accordance with consensus guidelines. The assessments were carried out in both the sitting position and after 10 minutes in the supine position. Correlation and comparative analyses were conducted using Pearson correlation, Spear-man rank correlation, paired t-tests, and the Kruskal-Wallis test.
RESULTS. A statistically significant increase in total NAR (mean difference: +0.09 Pa/cm³/sec, p=0.048) and a significant decrease in total NAF (mean difference: -52.1 mL/sec, p=0.001) were observed during the transition from sitting to supine. Subgroup analysis revealed a significant rise in NAR for the right nasal cavity (p=0.0001), while the left side showed a non-significant increase (p=0.114). Both nostrils showed significant reductions in NAF (right: p=0.001, left: p=0.000). Classification of nasal obstruction based on sitting NAR and NAF indicated that patients with higher baseline NAR showed greater sensitivity to positional changes (Spearman’s ρ = -0.42, p<0.001). Conversely, changes in NAF were less dependent on baseline airflow (ρ = -0.15, p=0.12), suggesting alternative influencing factors.
CONCLUSION. From our observations, it is clearly evident that the total nasal airway resistance increases, and the nasal airflow reduces on lying down, the primary source of variation being the posture changing. This finding is valuable in snorers and sleep apnea patients. 4-phase positional rhinomanometry should be performed to diagnose upper airway collapse in the supine position as part of the OSA evaluation.
Addressing the Paradox of Rest with Innovative Technologies
Authors: PIŠOT Rado , MARUŠIČ Uroš , ŠLOSAR Luka 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT
The paradox of rest lies in its dual nature: essential for recovery yet potentially harmful when prolonged. Prolonged physical inactivity (PI) significantly contributes to non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Studies show nearly a third of adults worldwide were insufficiently active in 2022, with the economic costs of PI projected to reach INT$520 billion by 2030.
Bedrest models have illuminated the rapid onset of insulin resistance, general functional decline and muscle atrophy associated with PI, particularly in hospitalised older adults. Innovative technologies, such as extended reality (XR), offer promising solutions for mitigating the effects of PI and can enhance non-physical rehabilitation techniques such as motor imagery and action observation. These technologies provide immersive, personalised therapeutic experiences that engage multiple senses, transforming passive recovery into an active process and addressing both the physical and cognitive consequences of inactivity.
Results of bedrest study showed significant preservation of muscle mass, improved strength and enhanced insulin sensitivity in the intervention group compared to controls. These findings highlight the potential of XR-based strategies in addressing structural and functional declines during inactivity. As part of the Interreg VI-A Italia-Slovenija project X-BRAIN.net, advanced XR-equipped active rooms were developed to aid post-stroke rehabilitation in acute care settings. XR technologies, particularly VR, have shown promise in providing dynamic and adaptable therapeutic environments that facilitate early and targeted interventions. Future advancements focus on integrating XR with brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) and synchronised visual-haptic neurofeedback, enhancing sensorimotor cortical activation and improving rehabilitation outcomes. Comprehensive multimodal approaches, including nutritional, physical and non-physical interventions, are emerging as effective strategies to personalise and optimise patient recovery.
The Effectiveness of Intervention to Reduce Blood-Borne Pathogen Exposure Incidents in Healthcare Workers in the Largest Clinical Setting in Slovenia
Authors: ŠESTAN Nevenka , ZALETEL-KRAGELJ Lijana , FRANKO Alenka 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT

Aim
Aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of intensified organised training programmes introduced in 2016 and 2017 for raising awareness of the problem of blood-borne incidents (BBIs), the objective was to analyse the incidence of reported BBIs (RBBI) over a 15-year period in different groups of healthcare workers (HCWs) employed at the University Medical Centre in Ljubljana (UMCL).

Methods
All UMCL incidents that occurred and were reported from 1 January 2008 to 31 December 2022 were included in the study. The entire period was divided into two observation periods, 2008-2017 and 2017-2022. For testing a linear trend, whenever applicable a piecewise/segmented linear regression was applied, with the year 2017 as a break-point.

Results
In the 2008-2017 period, the trend of annual incidence risk was mostly on the increase. The increase was statistically significant in medical doctors (MDs) and dental medicine doctors (DMDs) (p<0.001) as well as in other occupational groups (p=0.015). In the 2017-2022 period, the decrease was statistically significant in females (p=0.011), in MDs and DMDs (p=0.007), in nurses (p=0.021) and in HCWs in the Surgery Division (p=0.023).

Conclusion
The results of the present study suggest that measures introduced in the UMCL were partially effective. The findings could serve as a basis for the development of improved programmes for better prevention, reporting and reducing the consequences of blood-borne pathogen exposure incidents among HCWs not only in Slovenia, but also worldwide.
Deutsches Exportmodell unter Druck – eine Analyse der Exportentwicklung nach 2015
Authors: Matthes Jürgen , Sultan Samina 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Exports, traditionally a strong engine of growth for the German economy, have started to stutter. This article demonstrates that export performance on German sales markets continued to decline even after 2015. It also analyses the target countries and product groups where particular export weaknesses can be identified and the possible causes. Overall, it becomes clear that there are losses precisely where there were previously strengths. There is also evidence of protectionism and the effects of geopolitical conflicts. But above all, the erosion of German competitiveness seems to be playing a role, which emphasises the urgency for economic policy reforms.
Arbeitszeit und Arbeitsumfeld – Indikatoren, Entwicklungen und Bewertung
Authors: Hübler Olaf 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The demand for a work-life balance and the noticeable labour shortage have intensified the public debate on changes to working hours. Can society afford a general reduction in working hours or are longer working hours necessary? The assessment should not be based solely on the agreed reduction or extension of weekly working hours. The effective working time effects of various measures must be analysed. Possible adjustments for changes result from an analysis of the effects on work intensity and the number of employees. Changes in sick leave and the number of vacation days as well as adjustments in full-time and part-time employment are significant, as is the case with the effective retirement age.
