Published: September 2024

IntroductionFootball requires high physical fitness and often involves maintaining a specific physique, leading to harmful eating behaviors due to internal and external pressures. Cultural norms influence the prevalence and types of eating disorders (ED), with differences in eating habits, beauty standards, and socio-cultural pressures affecting ED development. This study assesses ED risk and analyzes socio-cultural attitudes toward body image among Polish and Turkish female football players.MethodsThe study was conducted from April to June 2024 and included 103 professional female football players aged 18–35 from Polish (n = 49) and Turkish (n = 54) clubs. Data were collected using the CAWI method via Google Forms. Participants completed EAT-26 and SATAQ-3 questionnaires, assessing ED risk and socio-cultural attitudes toward body image.Results40.8% of participants were at risk for ED. No differences in ED prevalence were found between groups of different nationalities. Polish footballers at risk of ED scored higher on the Internalization-Pressure and Information subscales and the overall SATAQ-3 score. A weak but significant positive correlation was found between SATAQ-3 and EAT-26 scores.DiscussionThe study finds no nationality-based differences in ED prevalence among professional female football players, but ED is widespread, affecting about 40% of players. Nutritional status impacts ED risk, with higher risk among underweight and overweight players. Polish players are more influenced by socio-cultural standards of body image promoted by mass media. The study underscores the need for regular screening and psychological support.

IntroductionPancreatic neoplasms are rare among children and very few studies have reported on surgical outcomes for pediatric pancreatic neoplasms. Therefore, we aimed to describe patient and tumor characteristics and report on the surgical outcomes of pediatric pancreatic neoplasm.MethodsIn this retrospective single-center study, we reviewed and analyzed the data of patients who underwent surgery for pediatric pancreatic neoplasms at Severance Children's Hospital between January 2007 and December 2022. Clinical data including demographics, surgical procedures, and postoperative and long-term outcomes were evaluated.ResultsA total of 28 patients underwent surgical treatment for pancreatic neoplasms with a median age of 11.7 years (range: 0.4–17.8). The most common histological diagnosis among benign tumors was solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN), which occurred in 20 patients (71.4%). This was followed by a mucinous cyst, nesidioblastosis, pseudocyst, duplication cyst, and benign cyst, each occurring in one patient (3.5%). Regarding malignant tumors, pancreatoblastoma, solid pseudopapillary carcinoma, and malignant pheochromocytoma were noted in one patient each (3.5%). Tumor locations included the head in 4 patients (14.2%), the body in 7 (25%), and the tail in 16 (57.1%), and was diffuse in 1 (3.5%). The most common surgical resection range was distal pancreatectomy, found in 22 patients (78.5%), followed by pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy, found in 2 (7.2%); duodenum-preserving pancreatic resection, central pancreatectomy, tumor enucleation, and near-total pancreatectomy were performed in one patient each (3.5%). Overall, 4 patients developed grade B or C postoperative pancreatic fistulas, and 1 experienced postoperative mortality due to uncontrollable bleeding. The mean follow-up period was 6.1 years (range: 1–15.6 years), during which no significant impact on growth after surgery was detected. Among the 20 patients with SPN, tumor rupture occurred in 4 (20%), among whom 2 experienced tumor recurrences.ConclusionsHistological diagnosis of benign tumors was predominant in this case series and various extents of surgical resection were performed. Surgical treatment for pediatric pancreatic neoplasms appears to be safe and effective. However, considering the long-term prognosis of these patients, it is essential to determine the appropriate extent of surgical resection based on the location of the tumor.
Efficacy and safety of calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs) for septic patients in ICU: a cohort study from MIMIC database
Authors: Miao ShengHui , Yang Mingkun , Li Wen , Yang Zhouxin , Yan Jing 
Published: September 2024

BackgroundSepsis is marked by a dysregulated immune response to infection. Calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs), commonly used as immunosuppressants, have unique properties that may help mitigate the overactive immune response in sepsis, potentially leading to better patient outcomes. This study aims to assess whether CNIs improve prognosis in septic patients and to evaluate any associated adverse reactions.MethodsWe utilized the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV 2.2 (MIMIC-IV 2.2) database to identify septic patients who were treated with CNIs and those who were not. Propensity score matching (PSM) was employed to balance baseline characteristics between the CNI user group and the non-user group. The primary outcome was 28-day mortality, analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazard regression models to examine the relationship between CNI use and patient survival.ResultsFrom the MIMIC-IV database, 22,517 septic patients were identified. After propensity score matching, a sample of 874 patients was analyzed. The CNI group exhibited a significantly lower 28-day mortality risk compared to the non-user group (HR: 0.26; 95% CI: 0.17, 0.41) in the univariate Cox hazard analysis. Kaplan-Meier survival curves also demonstrated a significantly higher 28- and 365-day survival rate for CNI users compared to non-users (log-rank test p-value = 0.001). No significant association was found between CNI use and an increased risk of new-onset infection (p = 0.144), but an association with mild hypertension (P &lt; 0.001) and liver injury (P &lt; 0.001) was observed.ConclusionThe use of calcineurin inhibitors was associated with reduced short- and long-term mortality in septic patients without an increased incidence of new-onset infections, hyperkalemia, severe hypertension, or acute kidney injury (AKI). However, CNI use may lead to adverse effects, such as liver injury and mild hypertension.

Authors: Huang Zhen-peng , Qiu Hu 
Published: September 2024

BackgroundHypercholesterolemia induces cholelithiasis and dysfunction of gallbladder motility. Interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs) contribute to gallbladder motility. Emodin modulates the contractility of the gallbladder muscle; however, the underlying mechanism is unknown.AimThis study aimed to explore the effects of emodin on gallbladder ICCs with cholelithiasis in a guinea pig model.MethodsAnimals were randomly divided into a healthy control group and three study groups. All study groups received a high-cholesterol diet (HCD) for 8 weeks. Subsequently, they were randomly assigned to either the HCD group or one of the emodin treatment groups lasting 4 or 8 weeks. Total cholesterol (TC) and triglycerides (TG) were measured to determine changes in serum lipid levels. Immunohistochemistry was performed to detect the morphology and number of ICCs. TUNEL assays were performed to detect ICC apoptosis. Transmission electron microscopy was employed to observe ICC structure. Western blotting and real-time polymerase chain reaction were used to detect changes in stem cell factor (SCF)/c-kit pathway expression.ResultsSerum TC and TG were higher in all study groups. In cases of cholelithiasis, the SCF/c-kit pathway was downregulated, the number of gallbladder ICCs decreased, apoptosis increased, and the ICC network structure was damaged. After emodin treatment, the SCF/c-kit pathway was upregulated, the number of gallbladder ICCs increased, apoptosis decreased, and the ICC network structure recovered.ConclusionCholelithiasis downregulates the SCF/c-kit pathway and damages gallbladder ICCs. Emodin upregulates the SCF/c-kit pathway and increases gallbladder ICCs, contributing to recovery from gallbladder motility disorders.\

BackgroundEvidence shows that the total flavonoids of Rhizoma Drynariae (TFRD) can improve bone mineral density (BMD). However, there is no evidence to summarize the improvement of biochemical indicators of bone metabolism (BIBM).MethodsThe PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Database, Chongqing VIP Information Database (VIP) and SinoMed were searched from inception to 6 May 2024. The final included studies performed meta-analyses using RevMan 5.3.ResultsNine randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were ultimately included. The TFRD group had higher bone gla protein (BGP) and type I procollagen-N-propeptide (PINP) compared to the Other therapies (WMD: 5.11; 95% CI: 3.37, 6.84; p &lt; 0.00001; WMD: 13.89; 95% CI: 11.81, 15.97; p &lt; 0.00001). The tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRACP) decreased significantly (WMD: −1.34; 95% CI: −1.62, −1.06; p &lt; 0.00001). The alkaline phosphatase (ALP) increased significantly (WMD: 7.47; 95% CI: 6.29, 8.66; p &lt; 0.00001). There were no significant differences in serum calcium (SC) or serum phosphorus (SP) levels between the TFRD and control groups (WMD: 0.08; 95% CI: −0.04, 0.20; p = 0.17; WMD: 0.02; 95% CI: −0.02, 0.05; p = 0.36).ConclusionTFRD can stimulate bone formation and prevent bone resorption in osteoporosis (OP) patients, but it has no effect on SC and SP.Systematic Review Registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/.

Published: September 2024

A tunable continuous wave (CW) Yb:CaWO4 laser operating in near infrared (NIR) spectral region is demonstrated by pumping with a diode laser. Continuously broadband tunable wavelengths are obtained in two polarizations by rotating the Lyot filter. The tuning widths of the output wavelengths in the π- and σ-polarizations are 42 nm (from 1005.2 nm to 1047.2 nm) and 41.8 nm (from 1005.1 nm to 1046.9 nm), respectively. At an absorbed pump power of 15.6 W at 976 nm, the maximum output powers in the π- and σ-polarizations are 5.2 W at 1026.2 nm and 4.7 W at 1028.1 nm, respectively. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first tunable laser operation by using Yb:CaWO4 crystal.

Published: September 2024

IntroductionCrop height and above-ground biomass (AGB) serve as crucial indicators for monitoring crop growth and estimating grain yield. Timely and accurate acquisition of wheat crop height and AGB data is paramount for guiding agricultural production. However, traditional data acquisition methods suffer from drawbacks such as time-consuming, laborious and destructive sampling.MethodsThe current approach to estimating AGB using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) remote sensing relies solely on spectral data, resulting in low accuracy in estimation. This method fails to address the ill-posed inverse problem of mapping from two-dimensional to three-dimensional and issues related to spectral saturation. To overcome these challenges, RGB and multispectral sensors mounted on UAVs were employed to acquire spectral image data. The five-directional oblique photography technique was utilized to construct the three-dimensional point cloud for extracting crop height.Results and DiscussionThis study comparatively analyzed the potential of the mean method and the Accumulated Incremental Height (AIH) method in crop height extraction. Utilizing Vegetation Indices (VIs), AIH and their feature combinations, models including Random Forest Regression (RFR), eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), Gradient Boosting Regression Trees (GBRT), Support Vector Regression (SVR) and Ridge Regression (RR) were constructed to estimate winter wheat AGB. The research results indicated that the AIH method performed well in crop height extraction, with minimal differences between 95% AIH and measured crop height values were observed across various growth stages of wheat, yielding R2 ranging from 0.768 to 0.784. Compared to individual features, the combination of multiple features significantly improved the model’s estimate accuracy. The incorporation of AIH features helps alleviate the effects of spectral saturation. Coupling VIs with AIH features, the model’s R2 increases from 0.694-0.885 with only VIs features to 0.728-0.925. In comparing the performance of five machine learning algorithms, it was discovered that models constructed based on decision trees were superior to other machine learning algorithms. Among them, the RFR algorithm performed optimally, with R2 ranging from 0.9 to 0.93.ConclusionIn conclusion, leveraging multi-source remote sensing data from UAVs with machine learning algorithms overcomes the limitations of traditional crop monitoring methods, offering a technological reference for precision agriculture management and decision-making.
The efficacy of picture vs. word danger cues in reducing imitation of dangerous actions in children
Authors: Dong Shuanglong , Zhao Liang , Bian Zhaobin , Wang Yansong 
Published: September 2024

IntroductionChildren are naturally curious and often have limited self-control, leading them to imitate both safe and dangerous actions. This study aimed to investigate whether dangerous cues could effectively inhibit children’s imitation of hazardous behaviors and to compare the effectiveness of picture cues versus word cues in reducing this imitation.MethodsSeventy-six children were divided into two groups: one group received picture cues, and the other received word cues. Both groups observed an agent grasping an object and were instructed to perform a corresponding keystroke response when a number appeared. A comparable group of adults was also included for reference.ResultsThe results demonstrated that picture cues were significantly more effective than word cues in reducing the children’s tendency to imitate dangerous actions.DiscussionThese findings suggest that picture cues are a more effective method for preventing imitation of risky behaviors in children, which has important implications for improving safety education and accident prevention strategies through the use of visual danger cues.

Published: September 2024

BackgroundThis study used data from the Norwegian Mother, Father, and Child Cohort Study (MoBa), and explored the psychological and social challenges of 14-year-olds who report psychotic symptoms. Research on help-seeking youths indicates comorbid symptoms of depression, anxiety, and social deterioration, but less is known about non-help-seeking individuals who may not use healthcare services, possibly skewing comorbidity profiles. Also, findings suggest that adolescents manifesting psychotic symptoms refrain from pursuing help. This gap underscores the necessity of studying non-help-seeking adolescents to better understand their needs and the risks they face without intervention.MethodsWe analyzed responses from adolescents who completed the 14-year questionnaire in MoBa (N = 127), identifying those as at risk by their high scores on psychosis-risk items, within the top 0.4% (N = 58). Comparative analyses were conducted against matched controls to assess differences in psychological and social functioning (N = 69).ResultsResults indicated that the at-risk adolescents experience significantly more depression and anxiety and have lower self-esteem and poorer social functioning than controls. Social functioning parameters, including leisure activities, social competence, quality of parental relationship, and sense of school belonging, were significantly worse than those observed in controls. The results indicate a pronounced vulnerability among non-help-seeking adolescents at-risk, similar to issues seen in help-seeking youths.ConclusionThese findings highlight the importance of early identification and intervention strategies that reach beyond traditional clinical settings, suggesting the efficacy of population or community-based screenings to prevent long-term adverse outcomes. The study proposes a broader understanding of psychosis risk, stressing the importance of inclusive approaches to support at-risk adolescents effectively.

Published: September 2024

IntroductionUnderstanding associations between psychosocial development in early childhood and formal diagnosis of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) in adolescence is critical for early identification and for tailoring interventions and support. This study investigated whether the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) scores in early childhood (4-5 years) predict mental health (MH) problems as evidenced by SDQ scores and formal diagnosis of NDDs in adolescence (16-17 years).MethodsThis study analysed data from a sample of 4968 children and adolescents using data from the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children. We used hierarchical regression models to determine the association between SDQ subscales and total scores at ages 4-5 years (primary exposure) and total SDQ scores and NDD diagnoses at ages 16-17 years (outcomes) whilst controlling for sociodemographic risk factors.ResultsEach unit increase in SDQ score at age 4-5 led to a rise in SDQ scores at age 16-17. Autism and ADHD diagnoses, female gender, lower maternal education, and financial hardship were associated with higher SDQ scores at age 16-17. Furthermore, parent reported SDQ at age 4-5 was linked to higher likelihoods of formal diagnoses of ADHD, autism, and ADHD/autism at age 16-17. Additionally, social determinants of health such as female gender, culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds, and financial hardship were associated with increased odds of ADHD, autism, and ADHD/autism diagnoses at age 16-17.ConclusionOur findings highlight the opportunity for early identification of transdiagnostic developmental and MH issues in the preschool period. Findings also emphasise the critical role of social determinants of health in the longitudinal trajectory of MH and NDDs and highlight the need for implementing early supports for improving peer relations and behavioural support strategies. If coupled with wrap around social care, early support strategies can enhance MH and wellbeing in adolescence and beyond.

ObjectivesThis study aimed to explore the association between bowel movement disorders and depression in adults.MethodA cross-sectional study was conducted using data from the National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey (NHANES), 2005–2010. Depression, constipation, diarrhea, and fecal incontinence were self-reported via questionnaires. Weighted logistic regression and subgroup analyses were performed to explore the association between bowel movement disorders and the risk of depression. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) was also conducted to investigate the association between bowel movements disorder and depression.ResultsA total of 13,820 participants were collected. Compared to the participants with normal bowel movements, the full-adjusted depression model ORs for constipation and diarrhea were 2.28 (95%CI,1.78-2.92), 1.75 (95%CI,1.31-2.31), respectively. Any kind of bowel leakage were associated with depression. The RCS showed the possible nonlinear association between bowel movement frequency/stool shape and depression.ConclusionsConstipation, diarrhea, and bowel leakage are associated with an increased risk of depression.
