Authors: Vitale Elsa , Bilgehan Tuğba , Fanizzi Annarita , Bove Samantha , Comes Maria Colomba , Massafra Raffaella , İnkaya Bahar 
Published: August 2024

Background:
International guidelines recommend a pathway for preferable nursing handling
in a specific cancer topic, like chemotherapy toxicity, low adhesion in toxicity reported with
a consequential increase in adverse events (AEs) frequency, poorer QoL outcomes, and increased
use of healthcare service until death. Unpredictability, postponed reports, and incapability to access
healthcare services can compromise toxicity-related effects by including patients’ safety. In
this scenario, a more attentive nursing intervention can improve patients’ outcomes and decrease
costs for healthcare services, respectively. The present scoping review aims to describe and synthesize
scientific care nursing evidence assessment in oncology patients.

Methods:
PubMed, Embase, Nursing & Allied Health Database, and British Nursing were the
databases examined. Keywords used and associated with Boolean operators were assessment,
care, nursing, immune disorder, oncology, and patient. Research articles considered were published
between 2013-2023. All systematic processes were performed according to the PRISMA
procedure in order to reach all manuscripts considered in the present scoping review.

Results:
The Embase database showed a total of 25 articles, PubMed displayed 77, the Nursing &
Allied Health Database evidenced a total of 74, and the British Nursing database showed 252 records.
Then, after a first revision in each database by considering the inclusion criteria, the abovementioned
titles and abstracts were selected and, 336 records were removed, and 92 studies remained.
Of these, 65 manuscripts were excluded after verifying abstracts. Finally, a total of 7 articles
were carefully analysed and selected for this scoping review. Specifically, 2 articles belonged
to the British Nursing Database, 3 articles belonged to Embase, 1 to the Nursing & Allied Health
Database and one related to PubMed.

Conclusion:
Oncology nursing should consider several aspects, such as therapy-related toxicity
and its related morbidity and mortality, worsening levels of quality of life, and increasing duty by
the healthcare organization or endorsements for the principal symptoms and signs which may anticipate
few diseases and worst clinical conditions, too. Therefore, careful monitoring may allow
prompt recognition and subsequent earlier management in the treatment efficacy.
Diagnostic Accuracy of Artificial Intelligence in Endoscopy: Umbrella Review
Authors: Zha Bowen , Cai Angshu , Wang Guiqi 
Published: August 2024

Abstract

Background
Some research has already reported the diagnostic value of artificial intelligence (AI) in different endoscopy outcomes. However, the evidence is confusing and of varying quality.

Objective
This review aimed to comprehensively evaluate the credibility of the evidence of AI’s diagnostic accuracy in endoscopy.

Methods
Before the study began, the protocol was registered on PROSPERO (CRD42023483073). First, 2 researchers searched PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane Library using comprehensive search terms. Then, researchers screened the articles and extracted information. We used A Measurement Tool to Assess Systematic Reviews 2 (AMSTAR2) to evaluate the quality of the articles. When there were multiple studies aiming at the same result, we chose the study with higher-quality evaluations for further analysis. To ensure the reliability of the conclusions, we recalculated each outcome. Finally, the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) was used to evaluate the credibility of the outcomes.

Results
A total of 21 studies were included for analysis. Through AMSTAR2, it was found that 8 research methodologies were of moderate quality, while other studies were regarded as having low or critically low quality. The sensitivity and specificity of 17 different outcomes were analyzed. There were 4 studies on esophagus, 4 studies on stomach, and 4 studies on colorectal regions. Two studies were associated with capsule endoscopy, two were related to laryngoscopy, and one was related to ultrasonic endoscopy. In terms of sensitivity, gastroesophageal reflux disease had the highest accuracy rate, reaching 97%, while the invasion depth of colon neoplasia, with 71%, had the lowest accuracy rate. On the other hand, the specificity of colorectal cancer was the highest, reaching 98%, while the gastrointestinal stromal tumor, with only 80%, had the lowest specificity. The GRADE evaluation suggested that the reliability of most outcomes was low or very low.

Conclusions
AI proved valuabe in endoscopic diagnoses, especially in esophageal and colorectal diseases. These findings provide a theoretical basis for developing and evaluating AI-assisted systems, which are aimed at assisting endoscopists in carrying out examinations, leading to improved patient health outcomes. However, further high-quality research is needed in the future to fully validate AI’s effectiveness.

Background. Essential hypertension (EH) is a complex, multifactorial and polygenic disease. Despite effective measures for control and modification of traditional risk factors, a significant amount of risk remains. The aim of the study was to evaluate changes in clinical parameters and to analyze the relationship of cholecalciferol, parathyroid hormone with anthropometric, metabolic parameters in patients with EH. Materials and methods. One hundred subjects with EH and target organ damage (stage 2), moderate, high, very high cardiovascular risk were enrolled in case-control study. Control group consisted of 60 healthy subjects matched for sex and age. Pearson’s test was used to determine the relationship between parameters in case of categorical variables; analysis of variance (ANOVA) when one of the variables is categorical and the other is numerical (interval); non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis test in case of abnormal array distribution. Results. Development and course of EH is characterized by clinical, hemodynamic, metabolic abnormalities that are nonlinearly exacerbated with the severity of hypertension. Correlation analysis showed a direct relationship between body weight and waist-to-hip ratio (r = 0.76–0.88; р < 0.001); systolic blood pressure is moderately directly correlated with waist circumference (WC) (r = 0.38; р < 0.05); total cholesterol is strongly associated with low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (r = 0.93; р < 0.001), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) is inversely associated with WC (r = –0.40; р < 0.05) and triacylglycerol levels (r = –0.41; р < 0.001), and cholecalciferol concentration is negatively marginally associated with body mass index, waist-to-hip ratio (r = –0.41/–0.38; р < 0.05). ANOVA confirmed that plasma cholecalciferol was associated with body weight (F = 6.48; р = 0.013), height (F = 4.33; р = 0.04), WC (χ2 = 15.93; р < 0.001), blood glucose (χ2 = 10.66; р = 0.001) and HDL-С (F = 6.53; р = 0.012). Reliable relationship between parathyroid hormone and waist-to-hip ratio was found (χ2 = 6.86; р = 0.032). Conclusions. In EH patients, plasma cholecalciferol significantly correlates with body weight, height, WC, glucose level, HDL-С. Parathyroid hormone has a significant and direct relationship with waist-to-hip ratio.

Background. In order to prevent complications in diabetes mellitus, it is expected that the individual should regulate his diet and physical activity according to diabetes, apply medication correctly and monitor himself. Living with a chronic disease requires paying attention to bodily stimuli, carefully planning daily living activities, and developing new strategies. The purpose of this study is to develop a measurement tool based on the Roy Adaptation Model that measures the level of adherence to treatment in patients with type 2 diabetes. Materials and methods. The methodologically planned study was conducted in 298 patients who applied to the Endocrinology Clinic of a university hospital between June 2018 and May 2019. Patient information form and draft scale were used to collect data. In the study, first of all, an item pool was created and sent to 10 experts for evaluation. The study, which was applied as a pilot to 30 participants, was then applied to the original sample. Confirmatory and explanatory factor analysis was used to determine the construct validity, and the suitability of the data set for analysis was evaluated with KMO and Bartlett tests. Cronbach’s α coefficient and item-total correlations were used to determine the internal validity of the scale. Evaluation of the data was done with SPSS 17 and LISREL 8.8 package programs. Results. The KGI score of the item pool sent to 10 experts was determined as 0.90. As a result of expert opinion and pilot implementation, the number of items decreased to 52. KMO value of the scale was determined as 0.874, Bartlett value as x2 = 9040.243, p = 0.000. It was found that the factor loads of all items of the scale were above 0.30, the total explained variance was 53.33 %, and it consisted of four sub-dimensions. In confirmatory factor analysis, it was determined as x2/SD 3.54, GFI 0.89, AGFI 0.87, CFI 1.00, RMSEA 0.079 and SRMR 0.080, and the number of items decreased to 39. The Cronbach’s α coefficient of the scale with four sub-dimensions and 39 items is 0.899, and all item-total score correlations were positive. Conclusions. Roy Adaptation Model-based adjustment scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool that can be used to evaluate adherence to treatment in type 2 diabetes patients.
Increase in urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio as one of the earliest markers of renal damage in patients with hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus

Published: August 2024

Background. The combination of hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with a particularly high risk of cardiovascular and renal complications. In accordance with current international guidelines, two criteria are used to diagnose chronic kidney disease (CKD): estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR). However, at present, the nature and stages of changes in urine ACR and their relationship with changes in eGFR in hypertensive patients with T2DM have not been sufficiently studied. The purpose was to investigate the frequency and severity of increased urine ACR in hypertensive patients with T2DM. Materials and methods. We examined 44 patients with stage II hypertension grade 2–3 and T2DM aged 40 to 64 years: 20 (45 %) men, 24 (55 %) women. The examination was carried out using standard clinical, anthropometric, laboratory and instrumental methods. Diagnosis of hypertension, T2DM, cardiovascular diseases, their risk factors, CKD and categories of changes in eGFR and albuminuria were assessed in accordance with European and Ukrainian guidelines. eGFR was calculated using the CKD-EPI equation, taking into account serum creatinine levels; albuminuria was diagnosed by assessing ACR in the morning urine. Results. When analyzing changes in eGFR, 41 % of hypertensive patients with T2DM had a decrease in eGFR to G3a category, which indicates the presence of kidney damage as a target organ. Analysis of changes in urine ACR allows us to identify kidney damage as a target organ (a moderate increase in urine ACR to A2 category) in a significantly larger proportion of patients — 65 % of people. A moderate increase in urine ACR is diagnosed not only in most hypertensive patients with T2DM with a decrease in eGFR to G3a category (89 % of cases), but also in 55 % of individuals with a slight decrease in eGFR (G2 category), as well as in 25 % of patients with normal or high eGFR. Determining the risk of CKD progression based on simultaneous analysis of eGFR and urine ACR indicates that the vast majority of hypertensive patients with T2DM (72 %) have an increased risk of CKD progression, and only less than a third can be classified as those at risk of CKD progression. Conclusions. An increase in urine ACR can be considered as an earlier marker of kidney damage in hypertensive patients with T2DM than a decrease in eGFR, determined by the level of creatinine in the blood serum. Evaluation of urine ACR should be carried out in addition to the determination of eGFR in all patients in this category in order to diagnose kidney damage as early as possible and predict the risk of CKD progression and cardiovascular complications.

Проведено обстеження 164 вагітних жінок, які були розділені на три групи. До І групи увійшли 76 вагітних (46,4 %) з еутиреоїдним зобом I–IІ ступеня. Другу групу становили 63 жінки (38,4 %) із субклінічним гіпотиреозом та дифузним зобом I–IІ ступеня. Третя група була контрольною та складалася з 25 (15,2 %) вагітних без патології щитоподібної залози. Вивчали стан плаценти із характеристикою ультразвукової плацентографії, визначали порушення дозрівання плаценти, площу, локалізацію, виявляли патологічні зміни плацентарної тканини. Оцінювали зміни систолічно-діастолічного співвідношення в маткових артеріях, артеріях пуповини, визначали індекс резистентності в маткових артеріях та пульсаційний індекс в аорті та середній мозковій артерії плода за допомогою методу кольорового доплерівського картування кровотоку в системі «мати — плацента — плід». При вивченні ехографічної картини структурних змін плаценти виявлено вірогідне порушення її дозрівання, особливо в групі з еутиреоїдним зобом. Ультразвуковий скринінг встановив, що в кожної другої вагітної з тиреопатією стан плаценти не відповідав терміну вагітності, відзначалися набряклість, кісти та інфаркти плаценти, висока частота дифузних змін плацентарної тканини, гіперехогенні включення в навколоплідних водах. Звертає на себе увагу підвищення індексу резистентності в маткових артеріях, особливо у вагітних із субклінічним гіпотиреозом. Зі збільшенням терміну гестації периферичний опір мікросудинного русла плаценти підвищується у зв’язку з інволюційно-дистрофічними змінами та циркуляторними розладами, що дозволяє розробити критерії прогнозування та діагностики плацентарної дисфункції, попередити перинатальні порушення у вагітних із тиреопатіями.

Published: August 2024

Developing a spectroscopic approach to assess the medicinal substance thymol was one of the research's objectives. Using an oxidative coupling reaction between thymol solution and N,N-dimethyl-p-phenylenediamine dihydrochloride solution (N,N-DMPPDADH) in alkaline media with potassium periodate as an oxidizing agent, the current technology forms a blue-colored soluble product. The wavelength at which a colored product exhibits maximum absorption is 600 nm. According to Beer's law, the concentration range covered by the approach under review is 1.25–20.00 μg/mL of thymol. The specific molar absorbance value of 10725.71 L/mol cm indicates the method's sensitivity. The Sandell significance value was 0.014 μg/cm2, which represents sensitivity per unit length. The precision of the method is demonstrated to be commendable, and the low relative standard deviation value of 0.16% supports this. This method's accuracy in identifying thymol at such low quantities is demonstrated by its confirmed detection limit of 0.0124 μg/mL. The developed technique has been useful in screening thymol in pharmaceutical products, with mouthwash being the focus of particular attention. Thymol content in real-world samples was accurately determined using the approach, as evidenced by the reported 101.13% recovery rate of thymol in the examined samples.

Published: August 2024

This work describes the development of new spectrophotometric techniques for 3-aminophenol assessment. The first technique involves using benzidine in an alkaline solution to convert 3-aminophenol into a colored complex. The produced complex has a red color with an absorbance of 462 nm. Between the concentration range 5–14 μg mL−1, Beer's law is obeyed with a correlation coefficient (R2) of 0.99781, a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.0423 μg mL−1, and a limit of quantification (LOQ) of 0.1411 μg mL−1. The recovery was between 87.2–95.43%, the relative standard deviation (%RSD) was 2.40–3.31% and the molar absorptivity was 3.545 × 103 L mol−1 cm−1. Secondly, cloud point extraction (CPE) was used to determine a trace amount of the colored product in the first method, followed by measuring with a UV-vis spectrophotometer. The linearity of the calibration curve was above the range of 5–14 μg mL−1, and the R2 was 0.9988. The LOD and LOQ were found to be 0.0318 and 0.1059 μg mL−1, respectively. The recovery was between 99.49–99.82%, the %RSD was 0.67–2.00% and the molar absorptivity was 4.724 × 103 L mol−1 cm−1. This method was successfully employed for 3-aminophenol detection in several wastewater samples from Rustamiya, under the Al Doura and Diyala bridge.

This paper discusses the use of electroplating wastewater containing Cr and Cu as a single dopant source to improve the activity of TiO2 photocatalysts under visible light. Sol-gel doping was used to dop TiO2 with Cr and Cu in the wastewater. The doped TiO2 photocatalysts were characterized using SRUV/visible and XRD instruments, and their effect on the degradation of linear alkyl benzene sulphonate (LAS) in laundry wastewater was evaluated. The electroplating wastewater used in this research contains Cr and Cu about 2000 and 20 mg/L, respectively. These metals were successfully doped into a TiO2 structure, which significantly reduced the gap energy of TiO2, allowing it to be more active under visible light. The highest photodegradation of the 125 mg/L LAS in 25 mL of the laundry wastewater with pH 7 was achieved by using 30 mg of TiO2/Cr-Cu (200/2) photocatalyst, which degraded up to 60% of LAS in 60 min. With the same conditions, the LAS photodegradation increased to 100% upon the second run. This approach can help turn hazardous electroplating wastewater into a valuable material to solve environmental problems.

Published: August 2024

El interés por la ingesta emocional (IE) ha ido en aumento, así como el número de autoreportes que permiten evaluarla. El objetivo de la presente investigación fue realizar una revisión sistemática de la calidad psicométrica de los autoreportes de IE en población adulta (PROSPERO ID: CRD42022374665). La búsqueda se realizó en PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Springer link, Taylor & Francis, Science Direct e identificación manual considerando los lineamientos PRISMA. La calidad metodológica y de las propiedades de medida fueron evaluadas a partir de los estándares y criterios COSMIN. Fueron analizados nueve autoreportes que denotaron discrepancias conceptuales y que en su mayoría se trataron de escalas multidimensionales. Las principales evidencias de validez reportadas fueron la estructural (a través de análisis factorial exploratorio o análisis de componentes principales) y de constructo, en menor medida, algunos artículos realizaron procedimientos cualitativos como parte de la validez de contenido. En tanto a la confiabilidad, el procedimiento más empleado fue el análisis de consistencia interna (α = .77 - .94) y en menor medida la estabilidad temporal. La Positive-Negative Emotional Eating Scale y la Salzburg Emotional Eating Scale obtuvieron mejores calificaciones respecto a su calidad metodológica y métrica. Las mayores deficiencias identificadas en los autoreportes fueron respecto a la validez de contenido, lo que pone en evidencia la necesidad de fortalecer esta propiedad métrica, así como la validez estructural y la consideración de otras poco o nulamente reportadas.
