Published: October 2024

In the expanding era of interventional medicine, tracheo-bronchial stenting has emerged as an exigent procedure with new ray of hope. The most common indications for stenting are to minimise extrinsic airway compression from mass effect, maintain airway patency due to intrinsic obstruction or treat significant nonmalignant airway narrowing or fistula. It plays an important role as a bridge to additional tumor-specific therapies, especially in chemoradiotherapy-naïve patients. Our patient, a 66-year-old lady with history of recurrent oesphageal carcinoma treated with chemotherapy, was suffering from increasing breathlessness with presence of stridor. Tracheo-bronchial stenting (Y-stenting) was done successfully in this patient to relieve her tracheal stenosis as observed in bronchoscopy. We report this case as it highlights the first ever Y-stenting in Bangladesh, might cultivate more feasibilty towards such intervention in different centres.

Este trabajo permite divulgar metodologías aplicadas para la estimación de la contribución de diferentes fuentes de emisión sobre la calidad del aire, a partir de datos históricos de caracterización del PM2.5 en la ciudad de Medellín, entre 2009 y 2011, como línea base para estudios actuales en la temática. El análisis completo de las variaciones horarias en los datos de concentración de PM2.5, muestran que existe un claro comportamiento estacional de los datos, con pico claramente diferenciado en horas de la mañana. Este fenómeno está relacionado con la influencia del tráfico vehicular y condiciones de dispersión de contaminantes en el Valle de Aburrá, Colombia. Un análisis químico de las muestras recogidas confirmó la influencia del tráfico en las concentraciones de PM2.5. Finalmente, a partir de la caracterización PM2.5 se aplicó el modelo PMF para identificar las fuentes de aporte de PM2.5 en tres zonas del área urbana con alta movilidad.
This work allows us to demonstrate the influence of several sources on the emission of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) based on historical data from the city of Medellín, between 2009 and 2011. The complete analysis of hourly variations in the concentration of PM2.5 show that there is a clear seasonal behavior of the data, with the appearance of a clearly differentiated peak in the morning hours. This phenomenon is related to the influence of vehicle traffic and to the dispersion conditions of pollutants at the Valle de Aburrá, Colombia. A chemical analysis of the collected samples confirmed the influence of traffic on concentrations PM2.5. Finally, based on the PM2.5 characterization, the PMF model was applied to identify the sources of PM2.5 in three zones of the urban area with high mobility.

Authors: Taylor Gemma , Westermann Gert , Monaghan Padraic 
Published: October 2024

IntroductionResearch demonstrates that children can learn nouns using touchscreen apps, however there has been less attention to whether apps can also promote verb learning. In addition, only a few studies have investigated the role of adult-child co-use for facilitating language learning from touchscreen apps.MethodIn the present study, 3-year-old children were taught three novel verbs in a live condition or with an app. Children in the app condition either used the app in a child-led interaction or an adult-led interaction. Children's verb learning was assessed using a three-choice pointing task.Results and discussionOnly children in the live condition showed evidence of verb learning and performed above chance, and there were no differences in performance by children in the app conditions. Children therefore did not show evidence of verb learning from our experimental app. Further research therefore needs to investigate different strategies for adult-child co-use and the role of different app features for supporting children's verb learning from apps.

PurposeThe measurement of T-cell receptor excision circle (TREC) is used for newborn screening (NBS) in dried blood spot (DBS) samples from Guthrie card for severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID). Here, we report the results of first newborn screening pilot program for SCID conducted in Türkiye.MethodsThe study was carried out together with Ankara University School of Medicine and The Ministry of Health, Public Health General Directorate, Pediatric and Adolescent Health Department. TREC measurements were performed in randomly selected Guthrie card samples obtained from 20253 babies born between October 2018 and October 2020. The TREC analyses were performed together with beta Actin (β-Actin) via RT-PCR (Real Time Polymerase Chain Reaction).ResultsTRECs found to be normal (≥15 copies/µl) in 98,6% of the newborns (n: 19975) but low (&lt;15 copies/µl) in 1.4% (n:278) at the initial analyses. TRECs were retested in 278 suspected infants and found to be normal in 160 (0.8%) while low in 118 (0.58%). New DBS were obtained from the babies with low TRECs (new sample test). TRECs were normal in 108 (0.53%) of the new sample tests and low in 10 (0.049%). Two among 10 babies who had abnormal (undetectable) TRECs were diagnosed as SCID; ADA (P1) and RAG1 (P2) defects were confirmed respectively. They both received curative treatments [gene therapy (P1) and HSCT (P2)]. The remaining 6 of 8 newborns with abnormal TRECs were found normal after clinical and laboratory immune work-up, while medical records of other two revealed early postnatal death due to extreme prematurity.ConclusionIn the light of this study the incidence of SCID was detected at least 1/10000 live births in Türkiye. This study shows the feasibility and usefulness of initiating SCID screening in Türkiye.

During the suspension cage culture procedure, a substantial quantity of attachments from the suspension cage will amass in the tidal flats, resulting in environmental pollution and resource wastage. The aim of the present study was to explore the feasibility of using attachments of suspension cage (ASC) as a raw feed material for sea cucumbers. Different ASC concentrations (0, 25, 50, 75, and 100%) were used in sea cucumber (Apostichopus japonicus) fed for 60 d. Replacing sea mud with 50% ASC significantly improved sea cucumber growth, reduced the feed coefficient, significantly increased the activity of intestinal digestive enzymes, improved the activities of acid phosphatase and alkaline phosphatase, improved the intestinal structure, and enriched intestinal microbiome diversity (P&lt;0.05). Replacing sea mud with 75% and 100% ASC significantly improved sea cucumber total antioxidant capacity and total superoxide dismutase (P&lt;0.05).Furthermore, expressions of c-myc gene, mapk-7 gene and fgfr-1 gene, which all three growth genes, significantly increased in the 50% ASC treatment compared to that in the control; whereas, that of gdf-8 gene, a negative growth regulator, was inhibited (P&lt;0.05). Based on the quadratic regression analysis for the weight gain rate, the appropriate levels of ASC substitution were estimated as to be 44.28%. The results suggested the potential of ASC as a new raw feed material for sea cucumbers.

BackgroundAcute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a life-threatening condition that can develop in critically ill patients. Early identification of risk factors associated with ARDS development is essential for timely intervention and improved patient outcomes. This study aimed to investigate the potential predictors of ARDS in critically ill patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU).MethodsWe conducted a retrospective study involving 502 critically ill patients admitted to the ICUs of three hospitals. Demographic and clinical data, including laboratory test results, were collected during their ICU stay. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to identify independent risk factors associated with the development of ARDS.ResultsAmong the 502 critically ill patients, 104 (20.7%) patients developed ARDS during their ICU stay, with a median time to development of 5.2 days. Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that age (odds ratio [OR], 1.07; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.01–1.13; P = 0.002), C-reactive protein (CRP) levels (OR, 1.11; 95% CI, 1.05–1.17; P = 0.013), T lymphocyte count (OR, 0.82; 95% CI, 0.69–0.93; P = 0.011), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels (OR, 1.17; 95% CI, 1.08–1.23; P = 0.003) were independently associated with the development of ARDS in critically ill patients.ConclusionsOur study identified age, CRP, T lymphocyte count, and IL-6 as independent predictors of ARDS in critically ill patients admitted to the ICU. These findings highlight the importance of monitoring these parameters in critically ill patients to identify those at high risk of developing ARDS. Early recognition and intervention based on these risk factors may improve patient outcomes in the ICU setting. Further prospective studies are warranted to validate these results and develop a reliable predictive model for ARDS in critically ill patients.

Published: October 2024

BackgroundThe global prevalence of stroke has been increasing. Motor dysfunction is observed in approximately 55 to 75% of stroke patients, with upper limb impairment affecting around 85% of them. Following upper limb dysfunction, the body’s recovery time is not only slower compared to the lower limbs, but the restoration of its fine motor skills is significantly more challenging, greatly impacting the daily lives of patients. Consequently, there is an increasing urgency for study on the upper limb function in stroke.MethodsA search was conducted in the Web of Science Core Collection: Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-Expanded) database for material published from January 1, 2004 to December 31, 2023. We included all relevant literature reports and conducted an analysis of annual publications, countries/regions, institutions, journals, co-cited references, and keywords using the software packages CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and Bibliometrix R. Next, we succinctly outlined the research trends and hotspots in post-stroke upper limb dysfunction.ResultsThis analysis comprised 1,938 articles from 1,897 institutions, 354 journals, and 53 countries or regions. A yearly rise in the production of publications was noted. The United States is the foremost nation on the issue. Northwestern University has the most amounts of papers compared to all other institutions. The journal Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair is a highly significant publication in this field, with Catherine E. Lang serving as the principal author. The majority of the most-cited references focus on subjects such as the reliability and validity of assessment instruments, RCT of therapies, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses. The intervention measures primarily comprise three types of high-frequency phrases that are related, as determined by keyword analysis: intelligent rehabilitation, physical factor therapy, and occupational therapy. Current areas of focus in research include randomized clinical trials, neurorehabilitation, and robot-assisted therapy.ConclusionCurrent research has shown a growing interest in studying upper limb function assessment, occupational therapy, physical therapy, robot-assisted therapy, virtual reality, brain-computer interface, telerehabilitation, cortical reorganisation, and neural plasticity. These topics have become popular and are expected to be the focus of future research.

ObjectiveTo explore the association between representative insulin resistance (IR) indices and the risk of kidney stone disease in an American adult population. The representative IR indices referred to metabolic score for IR (METS-IR), triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio, triglyceride glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI), visceral adiposity index (VAI), and homeostatic model assessment of IR (HOMA-IR).MethodsWe investigated adult participants who joined the 2015–2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) and reported kidney stone histories. Weighted proportions, multivariable regression analysis, and restricted cubic splines were used to evaluate the associations between IR indices and kidney stones after their adjustment for gender, age, race, education, smoking status, alcohol drinking frequency, hypertension and diabetes status, physical activity level, water intake, and levels of calcium, cholesterol, and uric acid.ResultsA total of 19,225 participants were included. The weighted prevalence of kidney stone was 11.1%. A multivariable logistic regression model showed a dose–response relationship between the METS-IR and kidney stone [odds ratio (OR) = 1.02, 95% confidence interval (CI) (1.01, 1.04), p &lt; 0.01]. A similar relationship was observed between the TyG-BMI and kidney stone after full adjustment [OR = 1.0, 95% CI (1.0, 1.01), p &lt; 0.001]. Sex-stratified analyses revealed that the association between METS-IR and nephrolithiasis [OR = 1.03, 95% CI (1.01, 1.05), p &lt; 0.01], and the association between TyG-BMI and nephrolithiasis [OR = 1.01, 95% CI (1.0, 1.01), p &lt;0.001] was significant among the male participants in the fully adjusted model. Moreover, a significant association was found between the METS-IR levels and nephrolithiasis [OR = 1.03, 95% CI (1.01, 1.06), p &lt; 0.01], and between the TyG-BMI levels and nephrolithiasis [OR = 1.01, 95% CI (1.0, 1.01), p &lt; 0.05] among the diabetic participants after full adjustment. Furthermore, a potential nonlinear association was found between other IR indices (i.e., TG/HDL-C, VAI, and HOMA-IR) and the risk of kidney stone disease.ConclusionHigher METS-IR and TyG-BMI levels were associated with a higher risk of nephrolithiasis. Future investigations are required to identify the role of IR in the progress of kidney stone formation and to propose prevention measures and health guidelines.
