Abstract

Objectives
The acute phase of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), as determined by TIMI angiographic criteria, is influenced by various factors that impact the patient’s clinical outcome. However, the modifiable risk factors of impaired TIMI flow (TIMI<3) and its effective treatment are not fully understood. Hyperglycemia may induce a pro thrombotic state and thus affect TIMI flow before or after PCI. This study investigates the correlation between hemoglobin A1c levels, TIMI flow grade, and thrombus grade in infarct-related arteries, assessing its predictive value in non-diabetic patients with STEMI.

Methods
The 265 patients selected based on the hemoglobin A1c level lower than 6.5 % and were divided into three groups based on HbA1c level. Comparison between three groups in terms of risk factors, troponin level, blood glucose level, lipid profile, kidney function, number of involved vessels, type of MI, left ventricular ejection fraction, TIMI flow before and after primary angioplasty, thrombus burden, complications and hospital mortality was made.

Results
With the increase in HbA1c level, the prevalence of TIMI 3 flow after primary PCI decreased. The prevalence of TIMI flow 2–3 before angioplasty also decreased with the increase in HbA1c level. Increased hemoglobin A1c was also significantly related to large thrombus burden (p=0.021). Morover, hemoglobin A1c remained an independent predictor of post-PCI TIMI flow and thrombus burden.

Conclusions
Elevated hemoglobin A1c is a predictor of TIMI flow less than 3 after primary PCI and high thrombus burden, in STEMI patients without a history of diabetes mellitus.

Abstract

Introduction
The widespread presence of bisphenol-A (BPA) in consumer goods like water bottles and eyeglass frames raises serious concerns about the chemical’s ability to accumulate in human tissues. Molecular filtration and activated carbon adsorption are two of the many BPA treatment technologies that have emerged in response to these issues; both are essential in the removal or degradation of BPA from water sources and industrial effluents.

Content
To secure the long-term health and environmental advantages of BPA treatment approaches, sustainable development is essential. Both the efficient elimination or destruction of BPA and the reduction of the treatment operations’ impact on the environment are important components of a sustainable approach. Different search engines like Pub-Med, MEDLINE, Google Scholar and Scopus are used for these systematic reviews and analyzed accordingly. This can be accomplished by making treatment facilities more energy efficient and using environmentally friendly materials. Greener ways to deal with BPA pollution are on the horizon, thanks to innovative techniques like bioremediation and improved oxidation processes. Reducing dependence on conventional, resource-intensive procedures can be achieved by investigating the use of bio-based materials and natural adsorbents in treatment processes.

Summary and Outlook
This review article tackling the health and environmental concerns raised by BPA calls for an integrated strategy that incorporates sustainable development principles and technology progress. We can reduce the negative impacts of BPA contamination, improve environmental stewardship in the long run, and ensure human health by combining cutting-edge treatment technologies with sustainable behaviours.

Abstract

Objectives
Our study aims to compare the effects of an 8-week high-intensity interval training (HIIT) vs. moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) on cardiometabolic risk factors and on serum leptin levels in overweight and obese individuals.

Methods
Our quasi-experimental study involved 36 students who were assigned to HIIT, MICT or the control group. Using a bicycle ergometer, participants in the HIIT group performed 25 min of HIIT and those in the MICT group performed 35 min of moderate-intensity continuous exercise for three days a week for 8 weeks. Body composition estimated by bioimpedance analysis, blood lipids and serum leptin were measured pre-exercise and 8 weeks post-exercise.

Results
After 8 weeks of exercise, the participants in the MICT group showed a significant reduction in weight (p<0.01) and body mass index (BMI) (p<0.05). In the HIIT group, although weight reduction was noticed, the difference was not statistically significant compared to the pre-exercise values. In the control group, participants had a significant increase in their weight, BMI, and total body fat (p<0.05). On performing an inter-group comparison of the magnitude of change in body weight and BMI over 8 weeks of exercise, no difference was seen between the HIIT and MICT groups. No difference was observed in body fat indices and levels of random blood glucose, blood lipids and serum leptin pre and 8 weeks post-exercise.

Conclusions
On comparing the change in body weight and BMI over 8 weeks, no significant difference was found between the HIIT and MICT groups. However, HIIT was notably more time efficient.
Application of Chelyshkov polynomials in solving stochastic model with fractional Brownian motion
Authors: Gupta Reema , Chakraverty Snehashish 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
This paper introduces a computational spectral collocation approach utilizing orthonormal Chelyshkov polynomials to estimate solutions for both linear and nonlinear stochastic differential equations containing fractional Brownian motion characterized by the Hurst parameter H. The method employs Newton–Cotes nodes to transform these integral equations into manageable linear and nonlinear algebraic forms. The reliability of the proposed method is established through theorems on error estimation and convergence analysis. Moreover, some examples are given to demonstrate the viability, credibility, coherence, and dependability of the approach. Also, a comparative evaluation is conducted to contrast the results obtained from the suggested approach with those produced by the spectral collocation method utilizing orthonormal Bernoulli polynomials. Furthermore, a 95 % confidence interval is constructed for the error mean, revealing that the approximations maintain high accuracy.

Authors: Jia Xuandong , Wang Min 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
To observe the effect of intravenous general anesthesia under nasopharyngeal airway-assisted ventilation on patients undergoing ureteroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy. One hundred and twenty patients who underwent ureteroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy in our hospital were selected and randomly divided into nasopharyngeal airway group (research group) and laryngeal mask group (control group). These patients, respectively, received intravenous anesthesia under nasopharyngeal airway and laryngeal mask-assisted ventilation. The following evaluation indexes were compared and analyzed between the two groups, including anesthetic effect, hemodynamics, stress response, postoperative recovery, adverse reactions, etc. There were no significant differences in Visual Analog Scale, hemodynamics, and stress response between the two groups at each time point (P > 0.05). There were no significant differences in residence time and postoperative recovery time between the two groups (P > 0.05). The difference in airway establishment time between the two groups was statistically significant (P < 0.05), and cases with blood in the research group was significantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). Patient satisfaction in research group was significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The clinical effect of intravenous general anesthesia under nasopharyngeal airway-assisted ventilation in ureteroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy is significant, which helps to stabilize patients’ hemodynamics, reduce their stress response and adverse reactions, and improve the satisfaction rate of patient.

The purpose of this study is to explore the urgency for a judicial review of the constitutionality of Indonesia's constitutional amendments. In addition, it explores, using Germany, Colombia, and India as comparative materials, the practice of judicial review regarding the constitutionality of constitutional amendments. The main writing approach used in this article, which examined the constitutional texts of Germany, Indonesia, Colombia, India, and Germany, was a comparative one. Similar provisions that are unchangeable explicitly or implicitly may be found in the constitutions of Colombia, Germany, India, and Indonesia. However, there are fundamental differences in efforts to protect, maintain and preserve these unchangeable provisions (as the fundamental structure and identity of the Constitution) in reviewing the constitutionality of constitutional amendments. This mechanism is practiced in India, Germany and Colombia but not in Indonesia. However, if studied carefully, 3 aspects show the urgency of implementing this mechanism in Indonesia: 1) historical aspects (the existence of past events regarding constitutional changes or transitions that are normatively unconstitutional; 2) philosophical and juridical aspects (the existence of Pancasila as state ideology as well as constitutional identity and the existence of Article 37 paragraph (5) which clearly states that the Form of the Republic of Indonesia cannot be changed); and 3) sociological aspects (the issue of constitutional amendments which seems to be patterned at the end of each president's term of office to extend the period of the president's term of office to three terms). These three aspects are the primary consideration and basis for implementing a mechanism for reviewing the constitutionality of constitutional amendments so that the fundamental structure and identity of the Indonesian Constitution are not damaged or eliminated by parliament through constitutional amendment activities.

Published: September 2024

Digital forensic expert testimony is required by judges to resolve cases related to information technology. However, there are allegations of violations committed by certain parties on several servers such as illegal access, configuration changes, and shutdowns. This is increased by the destruction of crime scene and digital evidence. In some cases, analyzing the data collected can be time-consuming, and practical understanding is needed by judges to avoid irrelevant questions for digital forensic experts in court. Therefore, this research aims to determine and analyze forensic digital experts in court hearings, the duties and roles of judges in resolving information and technology cases as well as the position of forensic experts in the judicial process. The doctrinal research is sourced from secondary data in the form of Electronic Information and Transaction laws, criminal procedure laws, research reports, books, and scientific journals. The results show that digital forensics expert testimony is needed to assist judges as gatekeepers in obtaining material truth. Practical digital forensic knowledge is used to increase the efficiency of case examination time by avoiding irrelevant questions. Best practices are used in the actions, procedures, handling, and analysis of electronic evidence as well as digital forensic expert testimony in judicial practice.

OBJECTIVE
Health literacy is the ability to find, understand, and use information and services to inform health-related decisions and actions. Inadequate health literacy is associated with health disparities, poor health outcomes, and increased emergency department (ED) visits and hospitalizations. Children with medical complexity (CMC) have high rates of acute health care utilization. We examined the association of parental health literacy with acute care utilization and costs in CMC.

METHODS
This cross-sectional study included parents of CMC receiving primary care at a free-standing children’s hospital. We measured parental health literacy using the Single Item Literacy Screener, which measures the assistance needed to read health care materials. Our main predictor was parental health literacy, categorized as adequate versus inadequate. In a sensitivity analysis, we categorized health literacy as never needing assistance versus needing any assistance. Main outcomes were annual ED visits, hospitalizations, and associated costs.

RESULTS
Of the 236 parents of CMC, 5.5% had inadequate health literacy. Health literacy was not associated with acute care utilization or associated costs. In our sensitivity analysis, CMC whose parents need any assistance to read health care materials had 188% higher ED costs (adjusted rate ratio 2.88 [95% confidence interval: 1.63–5.07]) and 126% higher hospitalization costs (adjusted rate ratio 2.26 [95% confidence interval: 1.49–3.44]), compared with CMC whose parents never need assistance.

CONCLUSIONS
Inadequate parental health literacy was not associated with acute care utilization. However, CMC of parents needing any assistance to read health materials had higher ED and hospitalization costs. Further multicenter studies are needed.
