Authors: Sun Tongtong , Gasbarri Paolo , Du Lin , Deng Zichen 
Published: August 2024

Abstract

This work presents the longitudinal and transverse coupling vibrations of a deployable Telescopic Tubular Mast (TTM), a multi-stepped structure integrated into a spacecraft system, while considering the rigid-flexible coupling phenomenon. The model is derived using the principle of virtual work and discretized via the variable separation method. The von Kármán strain is employed to incorporate geometric nonlinear effects. Semi-analytical results for the shape functions and natural frequencies of the quasi-static multi-stepped boom are obtained using the extended transfer matrix method (ETMM). These natural frequencies are validated against results from Nastran, confirming the ETMM's accuracy Additionally, the model accounts for the continuously changing natural frequencies and shape functions during the deployment phase. Finally, the dynamic phenomena of the longitudinal and transverse displacements are analyzed at various deploying states, including locking and restart behaviors. The influence of the structural damping on the vibration evolution is also contained in the numerical analysis.

Authors: Shirvandi Zeinab , Ghorashi Nadya , Rostami Amin 
Published: August 2024

Abstract

This is the first report for C-Se bond formation involving the reaction of aryl halides with arylboronic acid and selenium powder to synthesis of unsymmetrical diaryl selenides in the presence of CuI as a homogeneous catalyst. A wide range of aryl halides react with various substituted groups under optimal conditions to provide the desired unsymmetrical diaryl selenides with good to high yields. Also, the same reactions were investigated in the presence of M-MCF@Gua-Cu as a reusable magnetic nanocatalyst under optimal conditions. The M-MCF@Gua-Cu catalyst allows for simpler (easy work-up) and greener methodology. In addition, the advantages of the presented method include the use of arylboronic acid/Se as a safe and cost-effective arylselenating system, the simplicity of operation, and green and cheap solvent.

Published: August 2024

Abstract

Background Previous studies have suggested that non-menstrual cervical cytology findings of endometrial cells may indicate endometrial lesions. However, no clear guidelines recommend who should undergo endometrial biopsy. This study aimed to identify which patients should undergo endometrial biopsy among those whose cervical cytology showed endometrial cells.
Methods We retrospectively analyzed 173 patients with cervical cytology to find endometrial cells in our department. Hysteroscopic diagnostic curettage obtained histological evidence in all patients.
Results From January 1, 2020, to October 27, 2023, 173 patients underwent hysteroscopic surgery in our department due to endometrial cells found in cervical cytology. Five patients (2.89%) had endometrioid carcinoma, and two patients (1.16%) had endometrial atypical hyperplasia. All 7 had abnormal uterine bleeding/postmenopausal bleeding. Endometrial thickness was 22.9 mm and 20.9 mm in 2 premenopausal patients, median endometrial thickness was 34 mm (8.2-41.4mm) in 5 postmenopausal patients, and heterogeneous endometrial echo in 7 patients. There were 54 patients without abnormal uterine bleeding/postmenopausal bleeding, endometrial thickening, and endometrial echo homogeneity. None of them had endometrial atypical hyperplasia/endometrial cancer. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that diabetes and endometrial thickening were independent risk factors for endometrial atypical hyperplasia/endometrial cancer.
Conclusions Patients with endometrial atypical hyperplasia/endometrial cancer often have abnormal bleeding and thickening of the endometrium. If the patient's cervical cytology shows endometrial cells without abnormal bleeding and endometrial thickening, the probability of endometrial atypical hyperplasia/endometrial cancer is minimal. Univariate and multifactorial logistic regression analysis showed that diabetes and endometrial thickening were independent risk factors for endometrial atypical hyperplasia/endometrial cancer.

Abstract

Long-read sequencing has revolutionised metagenomics through improved metagenome assembly, taxonomic classification and functional characterisation. Automation can enhance the throughput, reproducibility, and accuracy of library preparation. However, the validation of automated library preparation protocols remains undetermined for metagenomic workflows, which are particularly sensitive to methodological perturbation. Here, we compare long-read metagenomic sequencing of environmental samples through parallel manual and automated protocols. Despite minor variation in read lengths and classification rate, minimal differences in microbial community structure were identified between manual and automated libraries. These findings demonstrate the utility of automation for high-throughput long-read metagenomics, with broad applicability to automated long-read sequencing.

Published: August 2024

Abstract

Providing a secure hardware infrastructure is the main issue to implement secure cryptographic algorithms.
Just a robust algorithm with suitable key lengths is not effective against differential analysis attacks and can cause the cryptographic key to be discovered. Today, credit cards and electronic identification cards, due to the greater scope of applications are subjected to differential power analysis (DPA) attacks. As a result, a good design can help maintain the confidentiality of information. Providing a design method that balances the power consumption of the outputs and inputs of chips results a DPA secure designs. Moreover, reduction of power consumption by recovering the charge stored in nodes can make the tracing power will be more difficult. On the other hand, designing a uniform pattern in the transistor surface shape for all logic gates will make them resilient against advanced imaging techniques. In this paper a DPA resilient design method is proposed which is also robust against some other attacks such as timing attacks and advanced image processing techniques. The presented designs are simulated and compared with the state of the art designs using Synopsis HSPICE with 22nm technology node. Simulation results shows that the proposed method has the lowest and most balanced power consumption compared to the other designs.

Abstract

Background
Epilepsy is the most common neurological disorder in the world and contributed to various psychiatric illnesses. Depression is one of the most frequent co morbid psychiatric disorders that affect the quality of life in patients with epilepsy. Despite this impact depression continues to be under-recognized and undertreated. Therefore this study amid to assess the magnitude of depression and its associated factors among patients with epilepsy at Wolaita sodo university hospital, South Ethiopia 2021.
Methods
A hospital based cross sectional study was conducted from April 2021-May 2021. A systematic random sampling technique was used to select 423 samples of patients with epilepsy and interviewer administrated structured questionnaires was employed. Patient Health Questionnaire with 9-items was used to assess depression. Logistic regression model was used to determine the association between the outcome and independent variables. A 95% CI and Odds ratio with corresponding p-value < 0.05 were used to determine the strength of association.
Result
The overall magnitude of depression among epileptic patients in this study was 49.2%. Educational status; unable to read and write (AOR = 3.43, 95%CI:1.09,10.7), being female (AOR = 2.54, 95%CI:1.43,4.52), perceived stigma (AOR = 5.96, 95%CI:2.88,12.3), poor social support (AOR = 2.88, 95%CI:1.28, 6.48), poor medication adherence (AOR = 4.60, 95%CI: 2.46,8.63), seizure frequency of 6 times per month (AOR = 5.59, 95%CI:1.72, 18.1) were independent predictors of depression among patients with epilepsy at p-value < 0.05.
Conclusion and recommendation:
In this study nearly half of the patient with epilepsy had depression. Educational status; unable to read and write, being female, perceived stigma, poor social support, poor medication adherence, seizure frequency of 6 times per month were independent predictors of depression among patients with epilepsy. Therefore screening depression in epileptic patients and appropriate management critically needed attention to reduce the effects of the problems.
From Butterfly Wings to Sectoral Clusters: Unveiling the Anatomy and the Dynamic of the Moroccan Production Network
Authors: Elguellab Ali , Ezzahid Elhadj 
Published: August 2024

Abstract

The analysis of production networks plays a crucial role in understanding the economic landscape and addressing development issues. This paper applies network theory to analyze the Moroccan production network, examining its holistic structure, industries and cluster. It uses national accounting data and OECD datasets from 66 countries. Our investigation reveals a "butterfly" structure, with upstream and downstream sectors connected by a middle core of highly connected sectors. The network exhibits lower density compared to other countries, raising questions about growth and efficiency. Our analysis underscores the need for policies that foster domestic input production and reduce import dependence. Moreover, it emphasizes the importance of providing a more granular and frequent input-output table to inform more nuanced insights.

Authors: Ranjbar Zahra , Ayatollahi Mousavi Seyyed Amin , Aghaei Afshar Abbas , Madani Mahboobeh , Shakib Pegah 
Published: August 2024

Introduction:
Dermatophytes are a class of fungi that invade keratinized tissues
in humans and other animals, including hair, skin, and nails, causing dermatophytoses. The
high cost of therapy, side effects of drugs, and occasionally microbial resistance to synthetic
drugs are some of the issues that have prompted efforts to find new medicines. This research
aimed to study the antifungal properties of ethanolic and methanolic extracts of Rumex
acetosella, Teucrium polium, and Glycyrrhiza glabra plants against Microsporum canis,
Microsporum gypseum, and Trichophyton mentagrophytes and to ascertain the phenol content of
these plants.

Methods:
Following the collection and identification of R. acetosella, T. polium, and G. glabra
for this descriptive comparative study, they were washed and dried in the shade. Next, the Soxhlet
apparatus was used to obtain methanolic and ethanolic extracts from these plants. The antifungal
activity of these extracts was examined in vitro against M. canis, M. gypseum, and T. mentagrophytes
using the diffusion and agar dilution method according to CLSI guidelines. The Minimum
Inhibitory Concentration [MIC] and the Minimum Fungicidal Concentration [MFC] of the
extracts were also determined compared to griseofulvin. Additionally, the phenol content of these
extracts was measured by an optical spectrophotometer.

Results:
The methanolic extract of T. polium at 200 mg/ml led to the maximum inhibition zones
of T. mentagrophytes PTCC 5054, M. canis PTCC 5069, and M. gypseum PTCC 5070 that were
23.41, 23.45, and 25.30 mm, respectively. The highest growth rates of T. mentagrophytes, M. canis,
and M. gypseum in agar dilution method were found in 2.5 mg/ml of G. glabra ethanolic extract
at 19.07, 18.32, and 17.81 mm, respectively. The smallest growth of T. mentagrophytes, M.
canis, and M. gypseum were observed in the plate containing 40 mg/ml of the methanolic extract
of T. polium, with 5.62, 3.72, and 5.41 mm diameters, respectively. MIC was less than 6.25
mg/ml for methanolic extract of T. polium. The tannic acid in the ethanolic and methanolic extracts
of T. polium, R. acetosella, and G. glabra were 227.33 and 482.89 μg/ml, 94 and 475.48
μg/ml, and 27.33 and 60.67 μg/ml, respectively.

Conclusion:
The results revealed that methanolic extracts of the plants under study, particularly
T. polium, had a stronger inhibitory impact than ethanolic extracts. Following rigorous toxicity
testing and in vivo research, methanolic extracts of these plants may prove to be effective options
as adjuvants or alternatives to chemical drugs.

Published: August 2024

Abstract

Background
Adverse social determinants of health (SDoH) have been associated with cardiometabolic disease; however, disparities in cardiometabolic outcomes are rarely the result of a single risk factor.

Objective
This study aimed to identify and characterize SDoH phenotypes based on patient-reported and neighborhood-level data from the institutional electronic medical record and evaluate the prevalence of diabetes, obesity, and other cardiometabolic diseases by phenotype status.

Methods
Patient-reported SDoH were collected (January to December 2020) and neighborhood-level social vulnerability, neighborhood socioeconomic status, and rurality were linked via census tract to geocoded patient addresses. Diabetes status was coded in the electronic medical record using International Classification of Diseases codes; obesity was defined using measured BMI ≥30 kg/m2. Latent class analysis was used to identify clusters of SDoH (eg, phenotypes); we then examined differences in the prevalence of cardiometabolic conditions based on phenotype status using prevalence ratios (PRs).

Results
Complete data were available for analysis for 2380 patients (mean age 53, SD 16 years; n=1405, 59% female; n=1198, 50% non-White). Roughly 8% (n=179) reported housing insecurity, 30% (n=710) reported resource needs (food, health care, or utilities), and 49% (n=1158) lived in a high-vulnerability census tract. We identified 3 patient SDoH phenotypes: (1) high social risk, defined largely by self-reported SDoH (n=217, 9%); (2) adverse neighborhood SDoH (n=1353, 56%), defined largely by adverse neighborhood-level measures; and (3) low social risk (n=810, 34%), defined as low individual- and neighborhood-level risks. Patients with an adverse neighborhood SDoH phenotype had higher prevalence of diagnosed type 2 diabetes (PR 1.19, 95% CI 1.06‐1.33), hypertension (PR 1.14, 95% CI 1.02‐1.27), peripheral vascular disease (PR 1.46, 95% CI 1.09‐1.97), and heart failure (PR 1.46, 95% CI 1.20‐1.79).

Conclusions
Patients with the adverse neighborhood SDoH phenotype had higher prevalence of poor cardiometabolic conditions compared to phenotypes determined by individual-level characteristics, suggesting that neighborhood environment plays a role, even if individual measures of socioeconomic status are not suboptimal.
Characterization of Psychopathology in Latin American Adolescents Using a Web-Based Screening Tool: Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Campos Susana , Nuñez Daniel , Pérez J Carola , Robinson Jo 
Published: August 2024

Background
Mental health problems and suicide ideation are common in adolescents. Early detection of these issues could prevent the escalation of mental health–related symptoms in the long term. Moreover, characterizing different profiles of prevalent symptoms in conjunction with emotional regulation strategies could guide the design of specific interventions. The use of web-based screening (WBS) tools has been regarded as a suitable strategy to timely detect symptomatology while improving the appeal, cost, timeliness, and reach of detection in young populations. However, the evidence regarding the accuracy of these approaches is not fully conclusive.

Objective
The study aims (1) to examine the capability of a WBS to identify adolescents with psychiatric symptoms and suicidality and (2) to characterize the mental health profiles of a large sample of adolescents using WBS.

Methods
A total of 1599 Latin American Spanish-speaking adolescents (mean age 15.56, SD 1.34 years), consisting of 47.3% (n=753) female, 98.5% Chilean (n=1570), and 1.5% Venezuelan (n=24) participants, responded to a mental health WBS. A randomized subsample of participants also responded to the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview for Children and Adolescents (MINI-KID). McNemar χ2 and receiver-operating characteristic curves tested the detection accuracy of WBS contrasted with the MINI-KID. Latent profile analyses explored the symptomatic and emotional regulation profiles of participants.

Results
Both measures showed an adequate level of agreement (area under the curve per symptom domain ranging from 0.70 to 0.89); however, WBS yielded a higher prevalence than MINI-KID for all psychiatric symptoms, except suicide ideation and depression. Latent profile analyses yielded 4 profiles—one of them presented elevated psychopathological symptoms, constituting 11% of the sample (n=175). Rumination (odds ratio [OR] 130.15, 95% CI 51.75-439.89; P<.001), entrapment (OR 96.35, 95% CI 29.21-317.79; P<.001), and defeat (OR 156.79, 95% CI 50.45-487.23; P<.001) contributed significantly to the prediction of latent profile memberships, while cognitive reappraisal did not contribute to the prediction of any latent profile memberships, and expressive suppression was only associated to profile-2 membership.

Conclusions
WBS is acceptable for the timely detection of adolescents at risk of mental health conditions. Findings from the symptomatic and emotional regulation profiles highlight the need for comprehensive assessments and differential interventions.

Published: August 2024

Severe malaria is a disease caused by Plasmodium falciparum as the main cause of death in malaria. As autopsy examinations on malaria are rare in Indonesia, we report a nineteen-year-old male from Dumai, Indonesia, who died of severe malaria on November 10th 2018, at Dumai Regional General Hospital of Riau Province. The diagnosis was concluded from autopsy, histopathology and toxicology. This case report aimed to explain autopsy findings in severe malaria. As the result of external examination, we found some bruises on the right earlobe, lip mucosa and lower leg; excoriations on the neck, both arms and right lower leg; excoriations on the right lower leg and blood infiltration in the connective tissue on the right intercostal space. The autopsy and histopathology examination showed signs of congestion and hemozoin pigment in the brain, small intestine, liver, lung, heart, kidney, stomach and spleen. On toxicology examination, there was no narcotic substance found. Based on autopsy findings, histopathology and toxicological findings, we conclude that the cause of death, in this case, was severe malaria. Blunt violence to the ears, lips, neck, arms, and legs did not significantly cause death.
