Published: June 2024

Sickle cell anaemia (SCA) is a public health problem. Zinc and Magnesium are essential metal antioxidants important in protection of erythrocytes membrane from oxidative stress; a trigger of vaso- occlusive crisis. This study aims to evaluate the serum levels of zinc and magnesium in steady state sickle cell children with or without anaemia. Comparative cross-sectional study. Forty children aged 1-15 years with sickle cell disease (SCD) in steady state with or without aneamia and 40 age- and- sex matched HbAA counterparts (non-SCD) were consecutively recruited for the study. Each forty SCD and non-SCD children were included in the study. Haemoglobin variants were analysed using haemoglobin electrophoresis. Packed cell volume was determined using haematocrit centrifuge and reader. Serum zinc and magnesium were assayed colorimetrically. Data were analysed using SPSS version 26. Student unpaired t- test was employed to assess the significance of the differences. p-value &#60;0.05 was considered significant. Serum magnesium unlike zinc was significantly (p&#60;0.05) higher in non-SCD group (2.18mg/dl) compared to the SCD group (2.09mg/dl). There was no significant (p&#62;0.05) effect of SCD and anaemia on serum zinc. This study has shown that serum Mg was significantly lower in children with SCD compared to non-SCD counterpart.

Published: June 2024

Objectives: Measure the prevalence of adult and elderly users of the Brazilian primary healthcare system who self-medicated with antibiotics and identified its association with risk factors for self-medication and lifestyle. Materials and Methods: This is a quantitative, epidemiological study carried out in the Brazilian primary healthcare system. We used a semi-structured questionnaire and the Fantastic Lifestyle Checklist. We carried out a bivariate analysis, a binomial logistic regression, and the Mann-Whitney nonparametric test.Results: Out of the total sample (537 participants), 40.6% used antibiotics without medical prescription in the last 12 months. The dependent variable was associated with the presence of pain (OR=2.390, CI95, 1.414-4.041); storage of leftover antibiotics in the home (OR=2.124 CI95, 1.122-4.021); and use of medicines on someone’s recommendation (OR=1.722, CI95, 1.127-2.631). The group of individuals who used antibiotics without prescription in the last year had the lowest values in all domains assessed by the Fantastic Lifestyle Checklist and had the highest proportions in the final score of “Fair" and "Needs improvement”.Conclusions: A significant proportion of primary health care users in Brazil used antibiotics without medical prescription. Therefore, the population should receive better guidance on the use of antibiotics and greater incentive to develop healthy habits and lifestyle.
Estado de Derecho y derecho a la independencia judicial: un binomio insoslayable
Authors: Milione Ciro 
Published: June 2024

El Estado de Derecho implica la sujeción del poder estatal al Derecho y a una Constitución con fuerza normativa y primacía, incluyendo la separación, limitación y legitimación democrática de los poderes estatales, la distribución territorial del poder, la seguridad jurídica y el reconocimiento de los derechos fundamentales. Para ello, se requieren sistemas de justicia basados en las garantías de un “proceso justo”. Entre estas destaca el derecho a la independencia judicial en aspectos como la designación del tribunal, la duración del mandato y la separación de influencias políticas externas. Este estudio aborda estas cuestiones, centrándose en el caso español y en la crisis sistémica del Consejo General del Poder Judicial.

La judicatura democrática, poder representativo
Authors: Roales Buján Oliver 
Published: June 2024

Este trabajo busca caracterizar a la judicatura como poder representativo democrático, identificando cinco aspectos de la representación y sus modalidades. Se analiza la representación no-electiva, especialmente la ejercida por agentes gubernamentales, y se concluye que el poder judicial sí es un poder representativo, aunque su estricta identificación burocrática y la subsistencia de la concepción del enjuiciamiento como silogismo, problematizan su representatividad descriptiva. Esta dimensión descriptiva es perfectamente compatible con la independencia judicial, pero no así la concreción del diseño constitucional que la persigue mediante un sistema de designación parlamentaria para algunos de los miembros del Consejo General del Poder Judicial. Esto es, aunque su finalidad es legítima, su operatividad es disfuncional y por eso se plantea su reforma.

La seguridad en el constitucionalismo actual: condición de posibilidad de la dignidad humana
Authors: Agudo Zamora Miguel 
Published: June 2024

El fin del Constitucionalismo es el establecimiento de un sistema político-jurídico que haga posible que el ser humano lleve una vida digna. Para alcanzar este objetivo es necesario que el Estado proporcione seguridad. Las teorías filosóficas contractualistas y utilitaristas han aportado importantes reflexiones que propiciaron la inclusión de referencias a la seguridad desde los primeros textos constitucionales. El alcance de la seguridad va de la mano del modelo constitucional En la actualidad resulta inconcebible una noción de seguridad que no incluya también en su alcance los fines propios del Estado social. Por ello, el concepto clásico de seguridad se ha visto ampliado por los conceptos de seguridad humana y de seguridad nacional, que abordan diferentes dimensiones de la protección y el bienestar, ya sea a nivel estatal o individual.

Published: June 2024

“Multi-agent systems (MAS)” have been extensively studied across various fields, including robotics, economics, biology, and computer science. A distinctive feature of these systems is the ability of multiple agents, each with different characteristics, to perform system-wide tasks through local bottom-up interactions. Furthermore, design and control methods for system networks based on graph theory are being developed. Recent applications of these methods include autonomous driving technology, smart grids, and understanding social systems.
This special issue aims to deepen the understanding of MAS, focusing on their control and applications. It features 16 papers, including one review paper. The accepted papers cover a wide range of topics, including reinforcement learning, autonomous mobility systems, and machine learning, presenting the latest research findings on MAS.
These studies provide valuable insights into various aspects and potential applications of MAS. We hope that this issue will be beneficial to our readers and contribute to the advancement of future research.

Authors: Minutillo Gregory T. , Karnuta Jaret M. , Koressel Joseph , Dehghani Bijan , DeAngelis Ryan D. , Donegan Derek J. , Mehta Samir 
Published: June 2024

Background:
Periprosthetic fractures can be devastating complications after total joint arthroplasty (TJA). The management of periprosthetic fractures is complex, spanning expertise in arthroplasty and trauma. The purpose of this study was to examine and project trends in the operative treatment of periprosthetic fractures in the United States.

Methods:
A large, public and private payer database was queried to capture all International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) diagnosis codes for periprosthetic femoral and tibial fractures. Statistical models were created to assess trends in treatment for periprosthetic fractures and to predict future surgical rates. An alpha value of 0.05 was used to assess significance. A Bonferroni correction was applied where applicable to account for multiple comparisons.

Results:
In this study, from 2016 to 2021, 121,298 patients underwent surgical treatment for periprosthetic fractures. There was a significant increase in the total number of periprosthetic fractures. The incidence of periprosthetic hip fractures rose by 38% and that for periprosthetic knee fractures rose by 73%. The number of periprosthetic fractures is predicted to rise 212% from 2016 to 2032. There was a relative increase in open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) compared with revision arthroplasty for both periprosthetic hip fractures and periprosthetic knee fractures.

Conclusions:
Periprosthetic fractures are anticipated to impose a substantial health-care burden in the coming decades. Periprosthetic knee fractures are predominantly treated with ORIF rather than revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA), whereas periprosthetic hip fractures are predominantly treated with revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) rather than ORIF. Both periprosthetic knee fractures and periprosthetic hip fractures demonstrated increasing trends in this study. The proportion of periprosthetic hip fractures treated with ORIF relative to revision THA has been increasing.

Published: June 2024

➤ Large language models are a subset of artificial intelligence. Large language models are powerful tools that excel in natural language text processing and generation.➤ There are many potential clinical, research, and educational applications of large language models in orthopaedics, but the development of these applications needs to be focused on patient safety and the maintenance of high standards.➤ There are numerous methodological, ethical, and regulatory concerns with regard to the use of large language models. Orthopaedic surgeons need to be aware of the controversies and advocate for an alignment of these models with patient and caregiver priorities.
Analysis of Gut Microbiota as a Diagnostic Biomarker for Lung Adenocarcinoma with Qi-Deficiency and Phlegm-Turbid Stagnation
Authors: Chen Jiabin , Hu Qinqin , Chai Kequn , Wang Sheng 
Published: June 2024

Background:
In lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), Qi-deficiency and Phlegm-turbid
stagnation (QP) are the most prevalent Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome.

Methods:
Herein, we collected 90 fecal samples (Healthy individual (H): 30; other syndrome
(O): 30; QP: 30) and explored the composition and diversity of gut microbiota in LUAD patients
with QP syndrome using 16s-rRNA sequencing. Then, we identified biomarkers for QP syndrome
in LUAD patients with linear discriminant analysis (LDA) effect size (LEfSe) and applied
logistic regression analysis to construct a diagnostic model evaluated with the area under the receiver
operating characteristic curve (AUC) and validated with data from metagenomics.

Results:
The α diversity and β diversity revealed that the microbiota community structure in LUAD
patients with QP syndrome was different from that with healthy individuals and LUAD patients
with other syndromes. At the phylum level, the QP group had more abundance of Bacteroidetes
and less Proteobacteria than the O group. At the genus level, the abundance of 4 genera
(Bacteroides, Parabacteroides, Prevotella, and Flavonifractor) was different between the QP
group and O group. Moreover, LEfSe indicated that those 4 genera might be the biomarkers for
LUAD patients with QP syndrome. Then, we used those 4 genera to develop a diagnostic model.
The AUC based on 16s-rRNA sequencing and metagenomics was 0.989 and 1, respectively.

Conclusion:
A diagnostic model was developed, which would be an available tool for the clinical
diagnosis of LUAD with QP syndrome.

Published: June 2024

Objective:
A rupture of the intracranial aneurysm is frequently complicated, with an
increase of intracranial pressure (ICP) requiring conservative and/or surgical treatment. We analyzed
the risk factors related to the duration of pathologic ICP increase and the relationship between
ICP burden and the outcome of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).

Methods:
Consecutive cases with aneurysmal SAH treated at our institution between 01/2003
and 06/2016 were eligible for this study. Different admission variables were evaluated to predict
the duration of ICP increase >20 mmHg in univariate and multivariate analyses. The association
of the ICP course with SAH outcome parameters (risk of cerebral infarction, in-hospital mortality,
and unfavorable outcome at 6 months defined as modified Rankin scale >3) was adjusted for
major outcome-relevant confounders.

Results:
Of 820 SAH patients, 378 individuals (46.1%) developed at least one ICP increase requiring
conservative and/or surgical management after aneurysm treatment (mean duration: 1.76
days, range: 1 - 14 days). In the multivariable linear regression analysis, patients’ age (unstandardized
coefficient [UC]=-0.02, p <0.0001), World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies
(WFNS) grade 4-5 at admission (UC=0.71, p <0.004), regular medication with the angiotensinconverting
enzyme (ACE) inhibitors (UC=-0.61, p =0.01), and presence of intracerebral hemorrhage
(UC=0.59, p =0.002) were associated with the duration of ICP increase. In turn, patients
with longer ICP elevations were at higher risk for cerebral infarction (adjusted odds ratio
[aOR]=1.32 per-day-increase, p <0.0001), in-hospital mortality (aOR=1.30, p <0.0001) and unfavorable
outcome (aOR=1.43, p <0.0001). SAH patients who underwent primary decompressive
craniectomy (DC) showed shorter periods of ICP increase than patients with a secondary
decompression (mean: 2.8 vs 4.9 days, p <0.0001).

Conclusion:
The duration of ICP increase after aneurysm rupture is a strong outcome predictor
and is related to younger age and higher initial severity of SAH. Further analysis of the factors
impacting the course of ICP after SAH is essential for the optimization of ICP management and
outcome improvement.
Multi-microgrid Energy Management Based on Finite Horizon Twin Delayed Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient
Authors: Huang Jiaqi , Xia Jing , Li Peng 
Published: June 2024

Background:
With the increasing integration of renewable energies into smart microgrids,
the parameter space of the microgrid system model has increased dramatically, leading
to critical computational challenges in achieving the dispatch strategy.

Objective:
Additionally, in remote areas, connecting renewable energy resources to the national
grid is unavailable due to the high costs. Consequently, we have introduced microgrids as a viable
alternative solution. Microgrids are small-scale distributed power grids that rely on renewable energy
sources and generators to balance the load demand. The aim of this paper is to improve the
reliability of microgrids by integrating machine learning techniques into their control. This technology
ensures that all loads in the microgrid are met through energy trading.

Methods:
This algorithm utilizes reinforcement learning as the control mechanism for the trading
process. We have established a set of trading rules that facilitate energy trades among three microgrids.
We designate one of these three microgrids as the primary microgrid, while the other two
function as trading microgrids. Firstly, a deep reinforcement learning algorithm (FH-TD3) is developed
as a solution. Subsequently, the performances obtained in the three regions are compared
with those derived from traditional algorithms. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed energy
management strategy was validated through simulations.

Results:
FH-TD3 has shown superior performance to DDPG in three different microgrid experiments,
with the FH-TD3 algorithm consistently exhibiting shorter iteration times compared to the
DDPG algorithm.

Conclusion:
The research shows that the algorithm realizes the balance of the power without the
loss of the power grid, and realizes the profit in the transaction process.

Published: June 2024

aims:
This study aims to improve the surface properties of 45 steel to broaden its applications.

background:
45 Steel is an important material for the development of human society and civilisation,and plays an important role in human production and life. Ni-based composite coatings are widely used in metal workpieces to improve the surface properties and expand its applications.

objective:
In this study, Ni-WC composite coating was prepared on 45 steel substrates by plasma cladding. The microstructure, microhardness, residual stress, and corrosion resistance properties were analyzed to examine various influencing factors.

method:
In this study, the plasma cladding technique was employed to produce Ni-based cladding with different WC contents on 45 steel surfaces. The microstructure, phase structure, microhardness, residual stress, and corrosion resistance of Ni-based cladding coatings were investigated.

result:
The results showed that the coatings are made up mostly of Ni3Fe, Cr23C6, Cr7C3, WC, and W2C phases.

conclusion:
The microhardness of the Ni-based alloy coatings is greatly increased due to the presence of WC hard phase on the Ni matrix. The highest microhardness is more than tripling that of the substrate with the addition of 60% WC. In addition, the largest residual stress at the center of the cladding channel is more than five times higher than the substrate affected zone. The corrosion resistance of 45 steels containing Ni-based coatings increases in acidic, neutral and alkaline environments due to the formation of passivation films.
