Aim: It was aimed to evaluate the frequency of restless legs syndrome (RLS) in children with a diagnosis of allergic rhinitis (AR).
Material and Method: The study is case-control type. Age, gender, height, weight, Body Mass Index (BMI), allergic rhinitis symptom score, allergic rhinitis severity, allergy tests, total IgE, eosinophil values of the case group were examined. Gender, age, height, weight and BMI were also calculated in the control group. Patients in both groups were questioned using the International Restless Legs Syndrome Study Group's (IRLSSG) questionnaire containing the latest diagnostic criteria and severity scoring revised for the pediatric age group. Neurological examination, questionnaire and RLS severity scoring results of the patients were performed by a pediatric neurologist.
Results: In the study, the data of a total of 230 children, 115 AR cases and 115 control groups, were evaluated. The frequency of restless legs syndrome in children with allergic rhinitis was significantly higher than in the control group (15.7% and 5.2%, respectively; p=0.010). The clinical severity of RLS patients was mostly moderate in both the case and control groups [44.4% (n=8) and 50% (n=3), respectively].
Conclusion: According to the results of our study; restless legs syndrome was observed more frequently in patients with allergic rhinitis compared to the control group.

Published: October 2023

Aims: Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is a heterogeneous disorder characterized by obsessions and compulsions. Despite the studies, etiopathogenesis is not fully understood. Pharmacological and psychosocial interventions in OCD may be insufficient due to limited knowledge of etiopathogenesis. Therefore, it is important to find inexpensive and easily determined biochemical parameters related to etiopathogenesis. In this study, the relationship between OCD and vitamin B12 (VitB12), folic acid (FA), vitamin D (VitD) and ferritin was investigated.
Material and Method: 50 patients with OCD (12 female, 38 male) and 50 healthy controls (HC) (13 female, 37 male) were included in this retrospective study. Serum VitB12, FA, ferritin and 25-OH VitD levels of both groups were compared.
Results: VitB12 (p

Aim: The importance of endovascular procedures in the diagnosis and treatment of peripheral vascular diseases has seen a notable rise in recent years. Nevertheless, this surge has resulted in a corresponding rise in iatrogenic vascular complications and subsequent interventions associated with peripheral endovascular procedures. This study involved a retrospective evaluation of acute complications associated with endovascular treatments performed for lower limb peripheral artery diseases, as well as a closer look of the related therapeutic strategies for these challenges.
Materials and Methods: A retrospective evaluation was conducted on a cohort of 400 patients who received endovascular intervention for lower extremity peripheral artery disease at our clinic. The study included 27 patients (6.7%) from this cohort who received surgical or endovascular treatment for acute complications following endovascular intervention. Our preference for endovascular or surgical treatments was chosen based on the type and localization of the complications.
Results: The mean age of patients who experienced complications was 63.7±6 years. The complications were as follows in order of frequency: dissection 14 (51.9%) patients, arterial perforation 5 (18.5%) patients, major hematoma 3 (11.1%) patients, pseudoaneurysm 2 (7.4%) patients, distal embolism 2 (7.4%) patients and arterio-venous fistula 1 (3.7%) patient. In the treatment of complications, endovascular methods were preferred in 19 (4.7%) patients and surgical approaches were used in 8 (2%) patients. Following endovascular intervention, minor amputation was performed in one patient.
Conclusion: The rapid and effective management of complications related to peripheral endovascular procedures in the lower extremities is of utmost importance. Despite the notable advancements in endovascular procedures in recent years, there are scenarios where these interventions may be insufficient for dealing with complications. The management of such problems may necessitate surgical intervention. Hence, the integration of well-established and validated vascular surgical techniques with endovascular interventions is believed to yield optimal outcomes.
Relationship of selective IgE deficiency with autoimmune diseases
Authors: SAYACA Nurhan 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Introduction and Aim: Selective IgE deficiency (SIgED) is currently defined as a significant decrease in serum levels of IgE (≤2 kIU/L) in a patient whose other immunoglobulin levels are normal. The clinical spectrum of SIgED is unknown still. This study aimed to determine the relationship between SIgED and autoimmune diseases in an allergy and immunology clinic of a university hospital.
Methods: A retrospective study of the data obtained from medical records of 40 patients, 27 were female (67.5%), and the mean age was 39 years (range 20–69 years) and IgE levels of ≤2.0 kIU/L with normal immunoglobulin (Ig) IgG, IgA, and IgM levels.
Results: A total of 40 patients , 27 females (67.5 %) and 13 males (32.5%), were included in the study. The mean age of the patients was 39 ±13.06 years (range 20–69). In the present study, 35% of patients had an autoimmune disease (N:14), however 65% of patients did not have any autoimmune disease (N:26). Hashimoto’s thyroiditis being the most frequent (N:6) in 15% which is followed by systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) (N:3) in 7.5%, celiac disease (N: 2) in 5%, chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) (N:1) in 2.5%, vitiligo (N:1) in 2.5%, type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) (N:1) in 2.5%.
Conclusion: SIgED, should be defined clearly with cut-off values of IgE. Physicians should show more attention to the low IgE values and investigate patients about autoimmune diseases which can be seen together with SIgED. More studies should be conducted to investigate associated diseases with SIgED.

Authors: Da Silva Giordani Mikaéli , De Sousa Barbosa Inaê , Klann Roberto Carlos 
Published: October 2023

Objetivo: Analisar a relação entre o uso da mídia social do LinkedIn pelos CEOs para divulgação de informações corporativas e a prática de gerenciamento de resultados.
Método: Realizou-se uma pesquisa com as empresas brasileiras pertentes ao IBrX100. Foram operacionalizadas regressões Ordinary Least Squares. O período de análise correspondeu ao tempo de atuação do último CEO.
Resultados: Os achados evidenciaram uma relação positiva entre o uso do LinkedIn pelos CEOs com a prática de gerenciamento de resultados por accruals, entretanto, esta mesma relação não foi identificada para o gerenciamento de resultado por atividades reais. O teste de sensibilidade realizado indicou que, o uso do LinkedIn pelos CEOs se relaciona positivamente com as práticas de AEM tanto para aumentar, como para reduzir os lucros das empresas analisadas.
Contribuições: O estudo contribui ao identificar que as mídias sociais podem ser utilizadas para mascarar práticas gerenciais que reduzem a qualidade da informação contábil, corroborando com a hipótese da opacidade. Tal hipótese prevê que o CEO com maior reputação e poder está negativamente associado à qualidade dos lucros. Ademais, contribui ao evidenciar que o uso corporativo das mídias sociais pode ir além da divulgação de informações, de modo a afetar a qualidade da informação contábil.

Authors: Ingle Sagar , Nagdeve Deveram 
Published: October 2023

Background: Adequate water and sanitation facilities are crucial in promoting good child health. Unfortunately, many children lack access to these resources. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the prevalence of diarrhoea among children and the household-level management of diarrhoea.
Methods: The study utilized both qualitative and quantitative methods, quantitative analysis involved selecting a total of 300 samples using the stratified random sampling method. Twenty key informants were interviewed conducted to qualitative study.
Results: The study found that, the prevalence of diarrhoea among ICDS children 24.5 percent. However, this prevalence varied depending on several factors, including gender, caste, education, occupation, and wealth. The findings highlighted the importance of a mother's education in preventing and addressing diarrhoea within the household. Additionally, the availability of improved water resources played a crucial role in the prevalence of diarrhoea, as a significant portion of the population had limited access to such resources. Unfortunately, many mothers lacked sufficient knowledge about diarrhoea, negatively impacting their children's health. Mothers commonly relied on traditional methods to manage diarrhoea, which could result in additional health complications for their children.
Conclusions: Providing access to safe drinking water from a single source can help to reduce cases of diarrhoea. Overall, improving education, increasing access to clean water, and promoting better hygiene practices are essential steps to preventing and managing diarrhoea effectively.

Background: Varied prevalence of internet, gaming and smartphone addiction have been estimated across different regions. Though gaming and internet addiction have already been recognized, the emerging trend of binge-watching also demands attention. There was a need to estimate their prevalence using a uniform scale, compare addiction scores and also assess its association with content consumed and screen use behavior.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 252 participants who were recruited using stratified random sampling and were interviewed using digital addiction scale and a self-designed questionnaire (CVR>0.65).
Results: The prevalence of screen addiction was found to be 13% and found to be associated with age (p<0.01), sex (p<0.01), type of content consumed (p<0.05), device used (p<0.01), self-reported causes (p<0.01), withdrawal (p<0.01) and screen use specific psychological phenomenon (p<0.01). Addiction scores of gamers, social media users and binge watchers were comparable (p>0.05).
Conclusions: The prevalence of screen addiction is substantially high, particularly in the younger population. This study also highlights the strong association of screen use behavior and type of content consumed and apps used with addictive screen use. The similarity in addiction scores and associated factors also support the use of umbrella term ‘Screen Addiction’ to group all kinds of addictive screen usage.

Authors: Ray Shomik , Singh Alka , Singh Ranjana 
Published: October 2023

Background: Effective public health interventions need to be assessed for efficiency in order to optimize results and justify investments especially under conditions of uncertainty and resource constraints. The COVID-19 pandemic has presented unprecedented situations where decisions had to be taken based on limited evidence available in order to save human lives. Vaccines have been identified to be the mainstay of the public health response to the pandemic. In India, nine vaccines have been granted emergency use authorization (EUA) and are being delivered through multiple modes. Efficiency of vaccine delivery needs to be established to maximize results and formulate policy in long run.
Methods: This study will be conducted in Delhi and Bhubaneshwar. Two systematic reviews, a cross-sectional community survey and a complete economic evaluation using a decision tree model will be carried out to meet the study objectives. Data will be captured through computer assisted personal interviewing (CAPI) using CS pro software. Outcomes will be measured in lives saved and quality adjusted life years (QALYs) gained by vaccination. This will be the first study providing a detailed cost of COVID-19 vaccination and treatment segregated by government or private provider
Conclusions: The study would establish the relative efficiency of each vaccine granted EUA over the other by their individual modes of delivery.

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) stand at the sixth position most, amongst all the malignancies worldwide. Neoplasms arising in the oral cavity, larynx, pharynx, salivary gland and nasal cavity are all included in the head and neck malignancies. More than 90% of malignancies of the oral cavity are squamous cell carcinomas (SCC). Among the four head neck cancer sub-sites combined, the mean age at the time of diagnosis has risen, in the last four decades. Studies have documented a male predilection. A small percentage of SCC cases are inherited or are familial. Cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption, betel quid chewing, poor nutrition, poor oral hygiene, HPV, Epstein-Barr virus and Candida albicans infections are the etiological agents who have the ability to cause HNSCC. Non healing ulcer, difficulty in swallowing, change in voice, swelling, sore throat- that doesn’t get better- are the symptoms of head and neck cancers. Moreover, there may be unusual bleeding, facial swelling or difficulty in breathing.
India’s sustaining challenges to combat rabies elimination: a comprehensive review
Authors: S. R. Arun Krishna , A. S. Hemapriya , S. Sundar Jasmine 
Published: October 2023

Rabies is one of the fatal zoonotic diseases wreaking havoc on humanity since antiquity. India continues to suffer the greatest rabies burden of any country, both in terms of annual human deaths and disability-adjusted life years. While modern rabies management emphasizes the importance of achieving zoonotic disease control and prevention through a One Health approach, the disease remains challenging as its persistence is invariably multifaceted. Therefore, it is imperative to examine the enduring reasons for the increasing incidence of rabies in India. Between 2012- 2022, a systematic search of scientific publications, popular search engines like Google, as well as in the grey literature regarding rabies was carried out. Since rabies elimination boils down to addressing the reasons, it is first seen related to the large and unvaccinated stray dog population, where 97% of cases are by dog bites. A second finding is that many bite victims resorted to indigenous treatment practices due to insufficient awareness and knowledge about the disease. Incomplete treatment practices also led to some deaths, especially because rabies vaccines are not affordable or accessible to poverty-stricken populations. Rarely, vaccine failures were caused by a lack of vaccine potency, a wound type, or ineffective administration methods. Even with all these data incorporated, there was no information on prevalence/incidence estimates of dog bites in recent years through national data. Therefore, without intensified surveillance, sustained political commitment, enormous mobilization of resources, and rabies education, the epidemic waves of this fatal disease will continue in India.
