Authors: Sarı Tuğba , Gürhan Nermin , Uzun Sevda 
Published: March 2024

BACKGROUND:Some pregnant women have negative emotions that may predominate and they may develop a fear of childbirth. This causes negative consequences for their health and well-being. A complete definition of the causes of childbirth fear has not yet been established in the literature, but in a systematic review, various factors were found.OBJECTIVE:This study aimed to reveal the effect of educational, cognitive, and behavioral interventions on the reduction of fear of childbirth (FOC) in pregnant women.METHODS:For this meta-analysis study, articles in PubMed, EBSCOhost, Web of Science, YÖK Thesis Center, and Google Scholar databases were searched without any year limitation in between September 2022 and February 2023. A total of 25 studies were included in this meta-analysis. The data were analyzed by meta-analysis and narrative methods.RESULTS:This meta-analysis showed that educational, cognitive, and behavioral interventions were effective in reducing FOC in pregnant women (standardized mean difference: −1.229, 95% confidence interval [−1.586, −0.872];Z= −6,746,p= .000,I2= 94.225%). In subgroup analyzes, intervention types such as antenatal education, mindfulness, psychoeducation, and psychotherapy were found to be effective in reducing FOC. Interventions applied to women who have FOC reduce the FOC and provide a more positive birth experience.CONCLUSION:Results of the present study showed that educational programs could serve as an important tool in reducing women’s fear from natural childbirth and in choosing physiologic birth.

Published: March 2024

Abstract

Aims/hypothesis In Japan, the disastrous effects of the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake has affected aseismic design. Furthermore, the need for dynamic nonlinear analysis in the aseismic evaluation of essential structures such as nuclear power plants has increased. This study conducted cyclic shear box tests using rock mass samples to verify the nonlinear model used for the dynamic analysis. The shear load–shear displacement relationship and the maximum shear strength exerted at a small shear displacement level could be evaluated by comparing the outcomes of the existing nonlinear model with the experimental results. However, the shear load–shear displacement relationship at a large shear displacement level could not be accurately reproduced. Therefore, we modeled the damping characteristics of rocks after failure based on the results of laboratory tests on rock discontinuities, and improved the existing nonlinear model. Using the improved model, we could accurately reproduce the load–displacement relationship, rock internal strain, and rock boundary stress at a wide range of shear displacement levels.

Abstract

Intratumoral heterogeneity poses a significant challenge to the diagnosis and treatment of glioblastoma (GBM). This heterogeneity is further exacerbated during GBM recurrence, as treatment-induced reactive changes produce additional intratumoral heterogeneity that is ambiguous to differentiate on clinical imaging. There is an urgent need to develop non-invasive approaches to map the heterogeneous landscape of histopathological alterations throughout the entire lesion for each patient. We propose to predictively fuse Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) with the underlying intratumoral heterogeneity in recurrent GBM using machine learning (ML) by leveraging image-localized biopsies with their associated locoregional MRI features. To this end, we develop BioNet, a biologically-informed neural network model, to predict regional distributions of three tissue-specific gene modules: proliferating tumor, reactive/inflammatory cells, and infiltrated brain tissue. BioNet offers valuable insights into the integration of multiple implicit and qualitative biological domain knowledge, which are challenging to describe in mathematical formulations. BioNet performs signiﬁcantly better than a range of existing methods on cross-validation and blind test datasets. Voxel-level prediction maps of the gene modules by BioNet help reveal intratumoral heterogeneity, which can improve surgical targeting of confirmatory biopsies and evaluation of neuro-oncological treatment effectiveness. The non-invasive nature of the approach can potentially facilitate regular monitoring of the gene modules over time, and making timely therapeutic adjustment. These results also highlight the emerging role of ML in precision medicine.
The Gender health paradox in European countries after the COVID-19 breakdown
Authors: Sarti Simone 
Published: March 2024

Abstract

Introduction
There are well-established facts regarding the gender health gap. While women tend to live longer than men, they often experience poorer health conditions, even when controlling for age and other socio-economic factors. This counterintuitive relationship between longevity and psycho-physical vulnerability is known as the ‘gender health paradox’, prevalent not only in Europe. Bambra and colleagues (2021) have argued that the COVID-19 pandemic might have exacerbated this paradox, citing two main causes: higher mortality rates for men due to COVID-19, but a greater likelihood for women being diagnosed with the virus, implying a potential worsening of their health.
Methods
Utilizing Eurostat statistics on mortality and individual data from the European Social Survey (ESS) collected between 2018 and 2021, this study conducts an analysis of gender-based health inequalities. Data from both pre and post-pandemic periods are available for 17 European countries, allowing for an assessment of changes in gender health inequalities using multivariate regression analysis and indicators such as perceived health and health problems.
Results
Results indicate a slight increase in the gender difference in life expectancy, favouring women by 0.143 years. Simultaneously, both poor perceived health and health problems (resulting in difficulties in daily activities) have slightly increased for highly educated women in the COVID-19 era compared to their male counterparts in the pre-COVID-19 period. However, the variation among countries warrants further investigation.
Conclusions
These findings support Bambra and colleagues' concerns regarding a potential exacerbation of the ‘gender health paradox’ after COVID-19, with the resulting socio-health implications.
Effect of Environmental Factors on Fertility and Milk Yield Traits of Simmental Cattle Raised on Different Production Scales in Tropical Region (Teke)
Authors: öztrürk yahya , Sarı Mehmet 
Published: March 2024

Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the effects of environmental factors on the fertility and milk yield traits of Simmental breed cattle raised with different production scales in Tropical Region (Teke). The research data includes 635 lactation records of Simmental cows raised in enterprises in Antalya, Burdur, Denizli and Isparta provinces between 2011 and 2017. Based on these data, the effects of factors such as enterprise scale, lactation number, season, calving year and province on fertility and milk yield were analyzed. It was determined that the farm scale, calving year and calving season had significant effects on the fertility traits of calving interval and service period (P < 0.05). Also, it was determined that lactation number affected the number of inseminations per pregnancy (P < 0.05). Province had significant effects on lactation length, 305-day milk yield, lactation milk yield and drying time (P < 0.05).Enterprise scale had significant effects on 305-day milk yield and lactation milk yield (P < 0.05).Calving year affected lactation length, lactation milk yield and drying time (P < 0.05) (P < 0.05). Results showed that there was significant relationships between farm scale, progeny and milk yield traits in Simmental breed cattle raised in the Teke Region, and as the farm scale increased, calving interval, service period, lactation milk yield and 305-day milk yield increased. Increasing enterprise scale allowed to increase herd management, care and feeding facilities with providing technological innovations. For this reason, it can be recommended that the developing and implementing comprehensive models on preventing breast, foot and nutritional diseases and economic efficiency should be applied to increase fertility and milk yield in dairy cattle farms.

Published: March 2024

Abstract

Biometric and multimodal biometric sectors have made major advances in recent years. Usually, forensics, security, and privacy are the three areas where this is exhibited. It is frequently impossible to reach a greater identification rate with unimodal biometric systems, even the best ones. Unimodal biometric systems have several drawbacks, including no universality, a higher rate of false acceptance, and lower rates of true acceptance. Multimodal biometric systems get around these drawbacks. As there are many pieces of evidence for the same identification, a more reliable recognition performance can be attained. The multimodal biometric system that uses iris and fingerprints is the main topic of the work discussed in this paper. The Gabor Filters (GF) are used to extract the unique textual characteristics of the iris and fingerprint. These unimodal characteristics are combined utilizing the Mahalanobis distance technique using a new feature-level fusion method. The system is trained to utilize the retrieved feature using a hybrid random forest classifier with a channel-wise convolutional neural network (HRFC-CWCNN) based learning technique. Using the CASIA iris dataset and genuine fingerprint dataset, the performance of the suggested methods is verified and evaluated against that of other algorithms. It is clear from the simulation outcomes which our method outperforms previous techniques in terms of recognition rate and false rejection rate.

Abstract

Preclinical drug efficacy and tumor microenvironment (TME) investigations often utilize humanized xenograft mouse models, yet these models typically fall short in replicating the intricate TME. We developed a humanized liver metastasis (LM) model by transplanting human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and assessed it against the conventional subcutaneous (SC) xenograft model, focusing on immune cell dynamics post-transplantation and immunotherapy response. NOD-scid IL2Rgammanull(NSG) were inoculated with PBMCs to create humanized models. We induced SC and LM models using HCT116 cells, to investigate and compare the distributions and transformations of immune cell subsets, respectively. Both models were subjected to anti-PD-L1 therapy, followed by an analysis the TME analysis. The LM model demonstrated enhanced central tumor infiltration by tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) compared to the peripheral pattern of SC model. TIL subpopulations in the LM model showed a progressive increase, contrasting with an initial rise and subsequent decline in the SC model. Post-anti-PD-L1 therapy, the LM model exhibited a significant rise in central and effector memory T cells, a response absents in the SC model. Our study highlights differential TME responses between SC and LM models and introduces a robust humanized LM model that swiftly indicates the potential efficacy of immunotherapies. These insights could streamline the preclinical evaluation of TME-targeting immunotherapeutic agents.

Published: March 2024

Abstract
Purpose
The impact of mobile phone addiction (MPA) on college students' sleep quality (SQ) has received increasing attention in recent years.On this basis, the mediating roles of rumination and FOMO (fear of missing out) on MPA and SQ were examined in this study.
Methods
In a cross-sectional study, preliminary data were gathered via questionnaires from 1401 college students (19.35 ± 0.81) from 5 universities in Jiangxi Province, China. Mobile Phone Addiction Tendency Scale, Rumination Response Scale, Fear of Missing Out Scale and Sleep Quality Scale were employed in the research. The mediation model was tested using SPSS 24.0 and AMOS21.0 software, with FOMO and rumination acting as the mediating variables.
Results
Between MPA and SQ, rumination and FOMO each had their own unique mediation effect. Furthermore, rumination and FOMO function as a chain of mediators between college students' MPA and SQ.
Conclusion
This study provided confirmation and clarification that in college students, the association between MPA and SQ was mediated by rumination and FOMO.This study improves our understanding of MPA, SQ and how MPA may affect SQ in college students. It also shows that the impact of MPA and SQ of college students should be given more consideration by educators, parents, and college students themselves.
