Stereolithographic Process for Embedding of Electronic Components into Multimaterial Flexible and Stretchable Polymer Substrate to Reduce Stress During Stretching
Authors: Tiedje Tobias , Brauer Christoph , Luniak Marco , Nieweglowski Krzysztof , Bock Karlheinz 
Published: March 2024

The integration of rigid electronic components into stretchable materials is a complex challenge due to contrary material properties. This paper shows a novel approach for the embedding of electronic components into flexible and stretchable polymer substrates using a stereolithographic process that leads to stress reduction during stretching. The key factor is multimaterial printing with various elastic material properties. The paper shows a miniaturized packaged component (e.g., 0201 LED) in a flexible and stretchable substrate based on three different materials. The first material has rigid properties (stiffness 42.25 N/mm) and surrounds a small area of the LED with about 500 mm peripheral frame. The main purpose of this material is to round up the sharp edges of the LED to the next material. The second material is more elastic (stiffness 0.11 N/mm) and surrounds the first embedded LED. The purpose of the implementation of the second intermediate material is to spread the load between the LED and stretchable substrate caused by stretching. The third material has even higher elastic properties (stiffness 0.05 N/mm) and builds up the main part of the stretchable substrate (size of (4.5 3 34 3 0.27) mm3). After the fabrication of the multimaterial substrate with the embedded LED, horseshoe conductive traces are screen printed with conductive paste. Finally, the embedded LED substrate with the conductive traces is cured at 125 degrees C. The final stretchable substrate with the embedded LED is able to stretch up to about 25% for 30 cycles without disturbing the electrical function.
Endoscopic transpapillary gallbladder stenting for acute cholecystitis
Authors: Abdallah Hassan A. 
Published: March 2024

Background
Cholecystectomy is the treatment of choice for acute cholecystitis. However, the mortality rate of emergency cholecystectomy in high-risk patients with severe comorbidities remains unsatisfactory. Endoscopic transpapillary gallbladder stenting (ETGBS) has emerged as a useful interventional endoscopic technique for the management of acute cholecystitis.

Aim
The purpose of this research was to assess the safety and effectiveness of ETGBS in the treatment of acute cholecystitis in elderly individuals who were not good candidates for surgery.

Patients and methods
We studied 35 elderly patients, 60 years of age or older, receiving treatment at Aswan University Hospital’s surgery department for acute cholecystitis. Every patient had ETGBS, involving the insertion of a 7-Fr stent into the gallbladder. If ETGBS was unsuccessful, percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder draining was carried out. The effectiveness of ETGBS was the primary outcome measure in this investigation.

Results
ETGBS was successful in 30 (85%) individuals with acute cholecystitis. 8.57% (3/35) of the cases had early adverse events (AEs). Three patients had endoscopic sphincterotomy hemorrhage, one had minor pancreatitis, and one patient experienced obstructive jaundice as early AEs. There were 8.57% (3/35) late AEs. Late AEs included cholangitis in one patient and cholecystitis recurrence in two others. Percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage was used for the five individuals in whom ETGBS failed.

Conclusion
ETGBS appears to be a successful treatment for elderly patients with acute cholecystitis who are unsuitable for surgery.

Authors: Al-Qadasi Nasr , Syaghi Yehia Al , AL-Fakih Raddad , Al-Ashwal Abdullah 
Published: March 2024

Introduction
It is critical to categorize pressure ulcers at different stages to establish effective treatment plans. Debridement and excision of the underlying bursa and implicated bone tissue, followed by tissue covering, are the basic surgical procedures. This research examines patient characteristics, results, and complications, reporting on our experience treating pressure ulcers.

Methods
All the 25 individuals had a total of 39 pressure ulcers treated. The sacral ulcer was the most common. Three-quarters of the cases were related to pressure ulcer formation in hospitals. Debridement, primary repair, skin grafts, V-Y fasciocutaneous flap, transverse lumbar fasciocutaneous flap, V-Y tensor fascia lata flap, inferior gluteal rotational myocutaneous flap, and V-Y gluteal myocutaneous flap were among the available treatment options.

Results
Complications happened in 19%. Most of the time, pressure ulcers may be prevented with adequate understanding of their etiology and appropriate patient treatment for those who are at risk. Given the frequency of complications, recurrence, and new ulcers, treatment of individuals with pressure ulcers requires multidisciplinary involvement as well as family involvement. For the best prognosis and appropriate closure of the ulcer, complications and risk factors such as poor hygiene, anemia, diabetes, infection, and hypoalbuminemia should be avoided.

Conclusion
In the medical sector as a whole, pressure sores are a prevalent issue. The pelvic girdle pressure points appear to be the focus of most sores. Medical personnel who are in charge of patient monitoring must be knowledgeable about the main risk factors.

Published: March 2024

Objectives
To evaluate the association of timing for cholecystectomy with clinical outcomes in patients with gallstone pancreatitis (GSP).

Background
Patients with mild GSP who undergo cholecystectomy sooner rather than later tend to have shorter hospital stays.

Patients and methods
From October 2019 to January 2023, the number of adult hospitalizations at Menoufia University Hospitals due to GSP was recorded. We classified patients into early (operated on within 2 days of admission) as well as late (operated on over 2 days after admission) groups based on when they had laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The date of cholecystectomy was then correlated with nonhome discharge, postoperative hospital length of stay, and readmission rate within a month of discharge using multivariable logistic and linear regression.

Results
An estimated 129 patients were admitted with acute GSP, and 25.6% of those admissions were classified as belonging to the early cohort. The remaining admissions were classified as belonging to the late cohort. After taking into account potential confounding factors, a late cholecystectomy was found to be linked with a greater risk of significant adverse outcomes [adjusted odds ratio 1.40, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.24–1.51]. Also, participants in the late cohort had a greater chance of being readmitted within 30 days (adjusted odds ratio 1.12, 95% CI: 1.03–1.23) and nonhome discharge (adjusted odds ratio 1.41, 95% CI: 1.29–1.53).

Conclusion
Cholecystectomy that was performed after 2 days of admission for mild GSP was associated with increased major adverse events and 30-day readmissions, in addition to nonhome discharge.

Authors: Dorgham Mohamed N. , Elsaket Hesham M. , Kaddah Sherif N. , Seleim Hamed M. , Awad Osama A. 
Published: March 2024

Background
There is yet no perfect Procedure for repairing hypospadias. In certain cases, a graft is required to reinforce the poor urethral plate (UP). The study aims to assess the efficacy of dorsal inlay preputial graft urethroplasty (DIGU) as a primary repair for narrow urethral plate distal and mid-penile hypospadias.

Patients and methods
A 40- child who underwent dorsal inlay preputial graft urethroplasty Repair for primary distal or mid-penile hypospadias at least 6 months old, as well as a UP less than 8 mm in a noncircumcised penis, were included in the research.

Results
The success rate was 75% (30 patients) and the Complications rate was 25% (10 patients). Six (60%) of the ten complicated patients had UP widths of 2.5–4 mm (total of 8 patients), implying that 75% of these patients had complications. There were four patients with fistula, two patients with meatal stenosis, two patients with meatal retraction, and two patients with failure.

Conclusion
One of the main factors influencing the surgical result of the hypospadias correction is the width and configuration of the UP.
One-stage versus two-stage procedure for the surgical management of patients with acute mesenteric ischemia
Authors: Elhady Mohamed Abd Allah Abd , Mohamed Mohamed Khidr , Hafez Mohamed , Mahmoud Mohamed Mostafa 
Published: March 2024

Background
Damage control surgery (planned second look) is preferred by many surgeons in the management of patients with acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) with established bowel necrosis. However, some surgeons prefer to perform primary anastomosis during the first operation, making the second look only when indicated. Herein, we compare the perioperative outcomes of the previous two approaches in AMI patients.

Patients and methods
In this prospective, randomized study, AMI was diagnosed in 74 patients who were divided into group A (one-stage approach) and group B (two-stage approach).

Results
The one-stage approach spent more operative time compared with the first step of the other approach (110 vs. 70 min, respectively). The planned second look had an average of 75 min, and intestinal resection was done in 35.14% of cases due to advancing ischemia. The incidence of leakage was higher in the one-stage group (32.43%) compared with the other (5.4%), leading to a high reoperation rate in the former. ICU stay was longer with the damage control approach. Nonetheless, no difference was detected regarding the hospitalization period. The one-stage approach was associated with a higher 30-day mortality rate (29.73 vs. 8.11% in the other group). Risk factors for mortality included shock at presentation, prolonged operative time, and postoperative leakage.

Conclusion
The application of the damage control approach in patients with AMI is of great benefit as it is associated with low leakage rates, less need for reoperation, and less incidence of 30-day mortality compared with the one-stage approach.
Endoscopic-ultrasound-guided biliary drainage with placement of electrocautery-enhanced lumen-apposing metal stent for palliation of malignant biliary obstruction: Updated meta-analysis
Authors: Peng Zu-Xiang , Chen Fang-Fang , Tang Wen , Zeng Xu , Du Hong-Juan , Pi Ru-Xian , Liu Hong-Ming , Lu Xiao-Xiao 
Published: March 2024

BACKGROUND
Endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage using electrocautery-enhanced (ECE) delivery of lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) is gradually being recognized as a viable palliative technique for malignant biliary obstruction after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) failure. However, most of the studies that have assessed its efficacy and safety were small and heterogeneous. Prior meta-analyses of six or fewer studies that were published 2 years ago were therefore underpowered to yield convincing evidence.
AIM
To update the efficacy and safety of ECE-LAMS for treatment of biliary obstruction after ERCP failure.
METHODS
We searched PubMed, EMBASE, and Scopus databases from the inception of the ECE technique to May 13, 2022. Primary outcome measure was pooled technical success rate, and secondary outcomes were pooled rates of clinical success, reintervention, and adverse events. Meta-analysis was performed using a random-effects model following Freeman-Tukey double-arcsine transformation in R software (version 4.1.3).
RESULTS
Fourteen eligible studies involving 620 participants were ultimately included. The pooled rate of technical success was 96.7%, and clinical success was 91.0%. Adverse events were reported in 17.5% of patients. Overall reintervention rate was 7.3%. Subgroup analyses showed results were generally consistent.
CONCLUSION
ECE-LAMS has favorable success with acceptable adverse events in relieving biliary obstruction when ERCP is impossible. The consistency of results across most subgroups suggested that this is a generalizable approach.

Authors: Harsyaf Nurul Fitriana , Khaerah Nur 
Published: March 2024

Law no. 10 of 2008 concerning general elections states that first-time voters are those who are voting for the first time and are 17 years old or more or are/have been married and have the right to vote in general elections (and the Regional Head Election). New voters who have just entered voting age also do not have a broad political reach to determine where they should vote. So, sometimes what they choose is not what they expected. The aim of the research is to find out the preferences of novice voters in the 2020 Bulukumba regional elections. The type of research used is qualitative with a case study approach. The informants in this research were six (6) people consisting of the Bulukumba KPUD, political parties and first-time voters. The results of the research regarding the Political Preferences of Beginner Voters in the 2020 Pilkada in Bulukumba Regency are: first, sociological, the condition of beginner voters who are still unstable and have minimal understanding of politics tends to make their political attitudes and direction of support follow the family and community in the voter's environment. Second, psychologically, the emotional closeness and image of the candidate to first-time voters makes new voters participate as volunteers in supporting the candidate through campaign activities using a social media approach and competition activities. Third, Rational, the level of education of novice voters is a determining factor in voters' attitudes in determining political attitudes, where only a few novice voters make their choices through program analysis and candidate profiles obtained from various information.
OVERVIEW OF THE LIPID ABNORMALITIES IN THE HEART FAILURE
Authors: Rafaqat Saira , Rafaqat Sana , Klisić Aleksandra 
Published: March 2024

A complicated clinical disease known as heart failure (HF) comes on by anatomical or functional anomalies in the heart that compromise blood flow. This review article presents a comprehensive examination of the role of lipid profiles in the HF. It specifically focuses on the serum levels of traditional lipid parameters, such as total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in the development and progression of the HF. To conduct this review, several databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, and Science Direct were utilized. Specific keywords used in the search include “heart failure”, “lipid profile”, “triglycerides”, “total cholesterol”, “high-density lipoprotein cholesterol”, and “low-density lipoprotein cholesterol”. The language for clinical investigations included in this review were limited to those set to English. The findings suggest that lower levels of TG may be associated with elevated pulmonary artery pressure, tricuspid regurgitation, and increased dimensions of the right side of the heart. These associations indicate impaired liver function due to right-sided HF in the chronic HF patients. Dysfunctional HDL-C is believed to contribute to the occurrence and advancement of HF. Additionally, serum TC levels have been identified as a potential prognostic factor in individuals with advanced HF. On the other hand, lower LDL-C levels seem to indicate worse prognosis for HF patients. However, further research is required to determine the precise mechanisms by which these lipid profiles influence the development and progression of the HF.
QUANTIFYING NUMBER IN THE NOUN PHRASE: A COMPARATIVE STUDY BETWEEN ENGLISH AND MACEDONIAN
Authors: Naumoska Aneta , Naumoska-Sarakinska Biljana 
Published: March 2024

<p>This paper discusses some of the theoretical insights for English gained by means of a contrastive analysis with Macedonian on the issue of grammatical/semantic number in the NP, with a particular focus on the features of partitivity, collectivity and distributivity reflected through marked external (grammatical) means. Quantifying the NP provides information on the fragmentation of the whole, togetherness of the whole (with non-determinedness of entities), or the individuality of each element of the whole. The quantitative characteristics are visible in the NP structure, while the syntactic relationships formally realize the connection between the quantity in the NP and semanticity. Through excerpted examples from authentic source materials (in English and Macedonian) and translations, it will be concluded that both languages have more commonalities than differences in the morphology and semantics of these features, although precision of language means is necessary to avoid miscommunication. </p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/lit/0758/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
EVALUATING THE COMMUNICATIVE VALUES OF PERSONAL PRONOUNS
Authors: Okundare Benson Kayode 
Published: March 2024

Personal pronouns have various uses in English grammar and communication. However, experiences have shown that many learners of English as a second language, especially students in Nigerian schools have problems with the effective use of personal pronouns in spoken and written communication even though adequate knowledge of the personal pronouns and usage is crucial to individual student’s educational advancement and sustainable national development in this country. This article is therefore aimed at minimizing the problem encountered in the use of personal pronouns. To achieve this, the paper critically examined the concept of personal pronouns with copious illustrations. Finally, some recommendations were made that will serve as a guide to learners of English as a second language (students in particular) on the proper use of personal pronouns.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0758/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

D-8 ÜLKELERİNDE ORTALAMA TÜKETİM EĞİLİMİNİN AMPİRİK ANALİZİ
Authors: UĞUR Burak , DALLI Tuğçe , AKSU Tuba 
Published: March 2024

Tüketim teorileri ortalama tüketim eğiliminin uzun vadede sabit olup olmadığına göre iki gruba ayrılmaktadır. İlk grupta yer alan tüketim teorileri (Nispi, Sürekli ve Ömür Boyu Gelir Hipotezi) tüketimin gelire oranının uzun dönemde, sabit olduğunu dolayısıyla iktisat politikalarının tüketimi uyarmak suretiyle çıktıyı artırmasının mümkün olmadığını ifade etmektedir. Diğer grupta yer alan tüketim teorileri (Mutlak Gelir, Yetersiz Tüketim, Tüketim Sürükleme ve Gayri İhtiyari Zorunlu Tasarruf Teorisi) ortalama tüketim eğiliminin uzun dönemde sabit olmadığını dolayısıyla aktif iktisat politikalarıyla çıktının artırılabileceğini savunmaktadır.
Bu çalışmanın temel amacı D-8 ülkelerinde 1982-2020 döneminin yıllık verileriyle ortalama tüketim eğiliminin durağan olup olmadığını test etmektir. Bu amaçla serilerin yatay kesit bağımlılığı içermesi nedeniyle Panel Panic ve Fourier LM birim kök testlerinden yararlanılmıştır. Ulaşılan bulgular, D-8 ülkelerinde incelenen dönemde tüketimin gelire oranının durağan olmadığını ortaya koymaktadır. Bu sonuca göre ortalama tüketim eğilimi D-8 ülke gruplarında uzun vadede, ortalamaya geri dönmemekte ve ekonomide yaşanan herhangi bir şok hem tüketim hem de tasarruf üzerinde kalıcı etkiler yaratabilmektedir.
Correlation between clinical condition of scoliosis and perception of one’s body image by girls with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis

Published: March 2024

IntroductionThe aim of the study was to evaluate the subjective impression of trunk deformity in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis and to compare the results of the Trunk Appearance Perception Scale (TAPS) with the Cobb angle, extra-school physical activity, and scoliosis occurrence in the family.MethodsOverall, 26 patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (mean age, 13.5 ± 2.3 years; 100% women) and no prior surgical treatment were included. Each patient completed TAPS and underwent a complete radiographic study of the spine (Cobb angle). Additionally, questions were asked on participation in extracurricular physical activity (yes/no) and scoliosis in the family (parents, siblings – yes/no). A correlation analysis between all variables was performed with chi-square test and Spearman correlation coefficient.ResultsThe average TAPS score was 3.4. The patients most often assessed their body deformity between 3 and 4. There was a statistically significant negative correlation between TAPS and the Cobb angle (<i>r</i> = –0.7). Nonsignificant correlation was found between TAPS and extra-school physical activity and scoliosis occurrence in the family.ConclusionsBigger angles of spinal curvature were accompanied by lower values of subjective impression of body posture, determined by TAPS. Patients noticed the distorted posture caused by scoliosis and were aware of changes in their silhouette. We did not find the impact of participation in extra-school physical activity or the occurrence of scoliosis in the family on own body image perception.
