BackgroundHeadache is a significant health problem worldwide, but national data on headaches in Indonesia are unavailable. Various risk factors have been identified as triggers or factors affecting its occurrence and severity. This study aimed to identify factors associated with headache occurrence in Indonesians aged 20 to 65 years.
MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted involving 26,263 participants aged 20 to 65 years. We covered any social, psychological, and comorbidity variables found in the fifth Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) that could be linked to headaches. A multivariate-adjusted logistic regression model was used to estimate the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI).
ResultsThe prevalence of those who had headache once in the past four weeks was 62.1%. Headache was associated with sleep disturbances (OR 2.24; CI 95% 2.11 – 2.36; p<0.0001), depression (OR 1.79; CI 95% 1.67-1.92; p<0.0001), hypertension (OR 1.79; CI 95% 1.64 – 1.96; p<0.0001), female sex (OR 1.64; CI 95% 1.55 – 1.73; p<0.0001), early adulthood (OR 1.32; CI 95% 1.24 – 1.42; p<0.0001), hypercholesterolemia (OR 1.33; CI 95% 1.15 – 1.52; p = 0.001), poor/moderate sleep quality (OR 1.22; CI 95% 1.15 – 1.29; p<0.0001), and low income (OR 1.12; CI 95% 1.05 – 1.19; p = 0.001).
ConclusionsThis study demonstrated that sleep disturbances were the dominant risk factor of headache in subjects aged 20 to 65 years. Furthermore, sleep disturbance treatment should especially be considered in patients with a high level of headache.

Published: August 2024

The studyfocuses on the role of Vitamin D in accelerating orthodontic tooth movement. Vitamin D is a potent stimulator of osteoclastic activity by promoting the recruitment of osteoclast precursors in bone remodeling. In addition, the prevalence of Vitamin D deficiency is high, so it is important to investigate the clinical application of these findings, including the potential use of Vitamin D metabolites to enhance the rate of tooth movement during orthodontic treatment. 3 databases were searched: Scopus, MEDLINE, and Web of Science. The search resulted in 42 publications from databases. 7 studies were included in the qualitative analysis.The majority of studies showed the locally injected calcitriol to be clinically efficient and cost effective reducing the overall treatment time also it was found initially there was an increase in osteoclastic activity followed by osteoblastic activity, this was also evidenced by several laboratory-based investigations and questionnaire-based assessments pertaining to Vitamin D.

Published: August 2024

Gender-based violence (GBV) is an issue that has received attention at the international level. In Mexico, almost 50% of women have reported being victims of violence perpetrated by their partner or ex-partner to the point of their death. The type of GBV that has experienced a significant increase is femicide or the killing of women just because of gender. The number of cases of femicide in Mexico has averaged 1.500 cases annually since 1985. In the period 1993-2005, there were at least 370 victims femicide that have been identified. This causes Mexico to become a country that is considered unsafe for women, especially with a high level of impunity in Mexico, where 93% of crimes are not reported nor investigated, including femicide. The machismo culture that is very attached to social life in Mexico emphasizes how domination is owned by men over women. The Spotlight Initiative program in Mexico is one of the government's efforts aimed at strengthening, complementing, and supporting existing gender-related initiatives in Mexico, particularly for femicide and violence against women. With 2 phases, the first phase in 2019-2021 and the second phase in 2021-2022, the Spotlight Initiative program is expected to have a positive impact on women in Mexico and can also eliminate acts of violence against women in various forms. However, the program has no significant effect on the level of femicide that occurs in Mexico. The strong influence of machismo culture has become a strong factor in its occurrence femicide in Mexico.

Lung involvement in rheumatic diseases is a major determinant of patient morbidity and mortality; however, its diagnosis depends on the detection methods used. We compared the incidence of pulmonary involvement in newly diagnosed treatment-naive patients with rheumatic diseases, as assessed by pulmonary function tests (PFTs) and chest high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT). This retrospective study reviewed the symptoms, spirometry results, and HRCT scans of 22 newly diagnosed, treatment-naïve patients and age-matched controls from the University General Hospital “Attikon”, Athens, Greece, between January 2021 and December 2023. Correlations between clinical findings and spirometry parameters were tested. HRCT scans revealed lung abnormalities in all patients, including peribronchial wall thickening (61.5%), ground glass opacities (59.1%), parenchymal bands (54.5%), air-trapping (50%), reticular patterns (45.5%), bronchiectatic changes (40.9%), and parenchymal opacities (31.8%). PFTs, performed in 17/22 (77.3%) patients, revealed definite pathology in 5 patients (restrictive: N=4; obstructive: N=1). No association was found between spirometric indices and clinical parameters. The results indicate a higher prevalence of abnormal chest CT than of PFT abnormalities, suggesting that HRCT is more sensitive in detecting early lung involvement in pediatric patients with rheumatic disease and should be considered in the routine evaluation of these patients.
A practical approach to choosing formulae for economic index numbers
Authors: Wood John 
Published: August 2024

Abstract

Traditional axiomatic, economic and stochastic approaches to choosing a formula for economic index numbers are based on theoretical considerations, with little regard to whether they reflect the actual circumstances affecting the markets to which they relate. This paper presents an approach to index number formulation based on how markets operate and presents a general, parameter-based formula for price and quantity indices. Two variants of this general formula cater for the “substitution effect” in different ways and one of these variants provides a practical expression for an economic-theoretic index based on purchasers' revealed preferences. Another variant applies this approach to short-term inflation indices. A final variant provides a straightforward means of estimating purchasing power parities for spatial indices. The analysis also emphasizes the importance of using coherent price and quantity indices, whose products generate the corresponding value indices.

Abstract

With the rapid advancement of urbanization in our country, the increase in urban population and motor vehicles has caused problems such as traffic congestion, environmental pollution and traffic accidents.To this end, the country has begun to vigorously develop urban rail transit, thereby optimizing the spatial layout and enhancing urban functions.In urban rail transit scheduling, passenger flow prediction is used as a key decision-making basis, and its results are essential to the smooth operation of urban rail transit.This paper takes the inbound passenger flow of the Shanghai subway as the research object, and comprehensively considers multi-source data such as AFC credit card data, external environmental data, air quality data, and the nature of the land around the subway station.By fully processing and analyzing these data, the potential laws between them and passenger flow are deeply explored. On this basis, a short-term passenger flow prediction model of urban rail traffic based on ResNet-Bi-At-LSTM is constructed.In the end, through the example analysis of Shanghai Urban rail transit, it is verified that the model proposed in this paper can more accurately and comprehensively predict short-term passenger flow.

Published: August 2024

Abstract

This study refines the Gibson-Ashby model to predict the mechanical properties of functionally graded (FG) honeycombs with random irregularities. By integrating correction factors, the model accommodates variations in aspect ratio and structural irregularities across hexagonal, triangular, and square honeycomb micro-architectures. The study updates analytical expressions to correlate the relative elastic modulus with relative density for graded configurations. These enhancements are calibrated through analytical derivations and finite element (FE) simulations, covering a wide array of irregular FG honeycomb designs. Validations are conducted via FE simulations and experimental tests on 3D-printed samples. A dual homogenization approach effectively translates microstructural variations into macroscopic property predictions, confirming the model's applicability to diverse configurations. The refined Gibson-Ashby model demonstrates high accuracy in relating relative density to elastic modulus in graded and irregular honeycombs. This analytical framework offers a valuable tool for designing optimized FG honeycomb structures across various geometric variations.

Abstract

Background
Turner syndrome (TS) is one of the important causes of short stature in girls, but there are cases of misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis in clinical practice. Our aim is to analyze the hand skeletal characteristics of TS patients and establish a disease screening model using deep learning.
Methods
A total of 101 pediatric patients with TS were included in this retrospective case-control study. Their radiation parameters from hand X-rays were summarized and compared. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves for parameters with differences between the groups were plotted. Additionally, we used deep learning networks to establish a predictive model.
Results
Four parameters were identified as having diagnostic value for TS: the length ratio of metacarpal IV and metacarpal III, the distance between ulnoradial tangents, the carpal angle, and the ulnar-radial angle. The ResNet50 deep neural network architecture was utilized, resulting in an accuracy of 78.89%, specificity of 76.67%, and sensitivity of 83.33% on a test dataset.
Conclusions
We propose that certain hand radiograph parameters have the potential to serve as diagnostic indicators for TS. The utilization of deep learning models has significantly enhanced the precision of disease diagnosis.

Abstract

Background. Interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) identify a family of heterogeneous entities mainly characterized by chronic scarring of the lung parenchyma. Among ILDs, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) represents the most frequent idiopathic interstitial pneumonitis associated with progressive functional decline leading to respiratory failure, high symptoms burden and mortality. Notably, the incidence of lung cancer (LC) in patients already affected by ILDs - mainly IPF- is significantly higher than in general population. Moreover, these cases are often neglected and deprived of active oncologic treatments.
Methods.We here aim at identifying variables predictive of outcome in a multicentre retrospective cohort of ILD associated to lung cancer collected from 2018 till the end of 2023. Overall, 73 cases were identified and for 55 patients exhaustive clinico-pathologic data were available. Among them 42 carried IPF. The entire dataset was then analysed by using the JMP partition algorithm (JMP-Statistical Discoveries. From SAS) which is able to choose the optimum splits from many possible trees, making it a powerful modelling, and data discovery tool.
Results. The average age of lung cancer diagnosis was 71.4 years whereas that of IPF was 69.5 years, the average Charlson comorbidity index was 4.6. Female patients were the 28.3 % (15) of the evaluated cases. The most frequent tumor hystotype was adenocarcinoma (45.2%) and in more than 60% of the cases (67.9%) cancer was diagnosed at early stage (TNM I-II-IIIA). A significant gender difference emerges regarding the overall patients’ survival and quite unexpectedly surgical approach to IPF-associated LC and the detection of serum autoantibodies are among the strongest outcome predictors.
Conclusions. IPF-associated LC emerges as a unique malignant disease defined by specific gender, histopathologic clinical and molecular parameters which might benefit from active treatments.

Abstract

Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins (Sousa chinensis) typically inhabit turbid coastal waters and estuaries, making it hard to observe their behaviour. Therefore, until now, only a few studies have provided descriptions of this species’ behaviour. Studying foraging behaviours is needed to better understand the tactics adopted by the species and inform conservation measures. This study aimed to describe and quantify the foraging behaviours displayed by Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins in three different locations in the northern South China Sea, including Beibu, Zhanjiang, and Pearl River Delta (PRD). Dolphins were observed side breaching, half-side breaching, fish shoal pursuing, mud foraging, foraging around gillnets, seine nets, trawlers, shellfish farms, fish farms, and wind farms. No cooperative foraging was observed and animals were mostly engaged in individual and group random feeding. Differences in foraging behaviours were found among the three studied geographic populations with Zhanjiang dolphins foraging in large and dispersed groups and using fish farm surroundings as a foraging ground; PRD dolphins foraging in small groups with various dispersion modes and engaging in mud foraging and foraging in association with pair trawlers or seine fishing; and Beibu dolphins foraging in small groups with various dispersion modes like those from PRD but unlike them, seldom displaying side or half-side breaches. The observed variations in group size and cohesion, movement patterns and behaviour, or associations with human activities reveal the complexity of this species’ foraging behaviour and differences among populations that may be linked with the characteristics of the environment dolphins live in.

Authors: Sun Ye , Li Shuyin , Che Yuchen , Liang Hao , Guo Yi , Xiao Chunling 
Published: August 2024

Abstract

Background
Microecological equilibrium is essential for human health. Previous research has demonstrated that Streptococcus strain A, the main bacterial group in the respiratory tract, can suppress harmful microbes and protect the body. In this study, Streptococcus strain D19T was isolated from the oral and pharyngeal cavities of healthy children. Its antibacterial mechanism against Acinetobacter baumannii was examined, as well as its potential to prevent inflammatory damage to cells. We evaluated the effect of the fermentation conditions of D19T on inhibition of Acinetobacter baumannii growth; Isolation and purification of antibacterial active components of strain D19T and molecular mechanism of inhibition of Acinetobacter baumannii; Molecular mechanism of D19T bacteriostatic protein reversing cellular inflammatory injury induced by Acinetobacter baumannii.
Results
The supernatant of fermentation broth of Streptococcus D19T was the active component against Acinetobacter baumannii, but the bacteria had no antibacterial activity. The supernatant of D19T fermentation broth was precipitated by (NH4)2SO4 solution, and the protein was the active antibacterial component. After gel filtration chromatography and anion gel filtration chromatography, the molecular weight of antibacterial protein was 53kD. D19T antibacterial protein can improve cell membrane permeability, limit extracellular soluble protein release, inhibit Acinetobacter baumannii biofilm formation, and prevent Acinetobacter baumannii adhesion. Acinetobacter baumannii induces inflammatory damage to respiratory cells via ferroptosis, and the D19T antibacterial protein can counteract this damage, protecting the respiratory tract.
Conclusion
Streptococcus strain D19T, as a potential probiotic, inhibits the growth of Acinetobacter baumannii and the inflammatory damage of respiratory cells, playing a protective role in human respiratory health.

Abstract

Previous research has found that the "Tragedy of the Commons" affects people's public behavior. However, how to solve the "Tragedy of the Commons" in garbage classification in scenic areas is still unclear. This study explores this issue by considering garbage classification in scenic areas as a "Tragedy of the Commons" problem and manipulating tourists' psychological ownership of the scenic area (high vs. low). We conducted four experiments (N = 1120) to examine the influence of tourists' psychological ownership of the scenic area on their willingness to engage in garbage classification under different stimulus conditions, expanding the literature on the "Tragedy of the Commons" and tourist environmental behavior. The study found that by enhancing tourists' psychological ownership of the scenic area, their willingness to engage in garbage classification can be effectively increased. Perceived effectiveness and perceived environmental responsibility mediated the relationship between tourists' psychological ownership of the scenic area and their willingness to engage in garbage classification. The study also found that environmental attitudes moderated the relationship between tourists' psychological ownership of the scenic area and their willingness to engage in garbage classification. This study explains the phenomenon of the "Tragedy of the Commons" in garbage classification in scenic areas, and the perceived effectiveness, perceived environmental responsibility, and environmental attitudes of tourists play an important role in addressing this issue at the individual level. The findings provide new insights for managers in scenic areas regarding garbage classification and how to promote tourist environmental behavior.

Abstract

Background Post shoulder arthroscopic pain is significant. Interscalene block is the standard technique for controlling pain, but the high incidence of complications limits this technique. Our aim was to evaluate the incidence of hemidiaphragmatic paralysis after selective superior trunk block compared to conventional interscalene block as regards.Methods A randomized controlled trial was conducted in which 68 patients who were scheduled for shoulder arthroscopy were divided into two equal groups. The interscalene group received ultrasound (US) guided interscalene block and the superior trunk group received US guided selective superior trunk block. Performance time, block quality, hemidiaphragmatic movement, and incidence of complications were assessed and recorded.Results The incidence of hemidiaphragmatic movement in interscalene group was significantly greater than that in the selective superior trunk block (76.5% vs 38.2%), and it was completely affected in 44.1% of the interscalene group compared to 11.8% of the selective superior trunk block group. The performance duration (min) was significantly greater in the selective superior trunk group than in the interscalene group (6.97 ± 0.67) vs (6.48 ± 0.69) respectively.Conclusions Although US-guided interscalene and selective superior trunk blocks provided an equipotent postoperative analgesic effect, selective superior trunk block was associated with a significantly lower incidence of hemidiaphragmatic paralysis.Trial registration: This prospective double-blinded randomized control trial was performed at Menoufia University Hospital after obtaining approval from its ethics committee (IRB approval number 4/2022 ANET1-1) and was registered under www.pactr.org (PACTR 202203695753410) with registration number (PACTR 202203695753410), and the registration date was at 11/02/2022. This trial was conducted in accordance with the Reporting Trials (CONSORT) guideline Consolidated Standards.
