Effectiveness of sustained maximal inspiration along with transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation in patients with malignant pleural effusion with intercostal drainage tube: a randomized controlled trial
Authors: Gunjal Sambhaji B. , Jain Vandana 
Published: December 2023

Background: Malignant pleural effusion (MPE) is one of the most common causes of an exudative pleural effusion. It is the most common cause of a unilateral massive pleural effusion. Most MPE s are secondary to metastases to the pleura, most often from lung or breast cancer. Medical management includes aspiration of fluid with the insertion of a chest tube, which may be necessary to relieve dyspnea. Hypoventilation does occur in certain areas of the lungs because of pain and muscle guarding after intercostal drainage tube (ICD) tube placements in pleural effusion. Therefore, it is important to emphasize pain management and expansion of affected areas of the lungs and chest wall. SMI is the basic maneuver of incentive spirometry and is mainly given to prevent atelectasis and lung collapse in postoperative patients. TENS is a method of producing an electro-analgesic effect and is effective in providing post-operative pain control.
Methods: The study design of the study was a randomized controlled trial. A total of 44 participants with a diagnosis of MPE with an intercostal drainage tube were included in this study. The study duration was 5 years with an intervention period of 2 weeks and the outcome measures were pulmonary functions and intercostal pain severity using the NRS Scale.
Results: There was a significant improvement in pulmonary functions in the control group and a highly significant improvement in pulmonary functions in the experimental group after 2 weeks of interventions and pain severity (NRS) was significantly reduced in the experimental group only (p<0.001)
Conclusions: This study concluded that sustained maximal inspiration (SMI) along with TENS significantly improves pulmonary functions and reduces pain at the site of ICD in patients with MPE.

Stroke is the third most common cause of death in the world and most common cause of adult disability of the survivors. Balance problems in stroke is very common, and they have been implicated in the poor recovery of activities of daily living (ADL) and mobility and an increased risk of falls. They also have altered in body weight distribution patterns, so that less body weight is taken through the weaker leg have smaller excursions when moving their weight toward the base of support, mostly in the direction of the weaker leg. My fitness trainer (MFT) balance board consists of a uniaxial unstable platform with an integrated sensor, which records all discrepancies in the plane. A 30-year-old female who has history of stroke 4 year ago has chief complain of weakness of upper limb and lower limb and unable to maintain dynamic balance. In this study we assessed the patient on berg balance scale and my fit trainer balance board with pre score and post score which shows significant improvement in results. The Berg balance scale measure score from 37/56 pre-treatment to 48/56 post treatment which shows significance increase in berg balance scale. The MFT balance board measure score from 4.2 disappointed stability in 30 seconds pre-treatment and 3.4 improve stability in 120 seconds post treatment which shows significance increase in MFT balance board. It concluded that there is effect of MFT to improve balance in chronic stroke patient.

The character of Hiri Island, which is located in the cluster of small islands in North Maluku in the study of sustainable crop cultivation practices, has yet to be documented in the Islands Agriculture database. This research reveals local farmers' cultivation practices using production inputs. The methods used are observation and interviews. Respondents were determined by deliberate methods. Research variables included sustainable agriculture indicators such as land conservation, agroforestry, integrated pest control, protective crops, crop nutrient management, and crop diversification. Data were obtained through a closed questionnaire with "Yes" or "No" questions. The answer "Yes" was given a score of 1, while the answer "No" was a score of 0. Next, the data is tabulated and analyzed using descriptive analysis. The results showed that farmers on Hiri Island maintain agricultural productivity by implementing sustainable agricultural practices with several indicators such as water source management 42%, integrated pest control 50%, crop diversification 65%, crop nutrition management 65%, land conservation 75%, and agroforestry 83%. Farmers on this island have implemented the concept of sustainable agriculture, but it needs to be done continuously by maximizing cultivation practices on small islands.

This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the use of host plants in an effort to multiply mycorrhizal propagules indigenous to Gunung Ciremai National Park. The experimental method used a factorial complete randomized design with 2 factors. The first factor was the location of the source of inoculum by 3 levels: mixed forests, shrubs, and pine stands. The second factor was 4 types of host plant many as 4 levels: corn (Zea mays), sorghum (Sorghum bicolor. (L.) Moench), centro beans (Centrosema pubescens), and ruji beans (Pueraria javanica). Each treatment was repeated five times, so there were 60 experimental units. The spores were isolated by wet filtration and decantation methods adapted from Gerdemann and Nicolson (1963), followed by the modified sugar centrifugation method from Jenkins (1964). The observed parameter was the number of mycorrhizal spores. The data obtained were analyzed by a variance test (F test). To evaluate the treatment's effect and compare the selected treatments, Duncan's follow-up test was used at the level of 5%. The combination of the location of the shrub inoculum and the centro bean host plant showed the largest spore population, which was 222.60 per 50 g soil sample. Trapping techniques using host plants of corn, sorghum, centro beans, and ruji beans showed suboptimal results. The most common genera were Glomus (80%; 4 species), Gigaspora (10%, 1 species), and Acaulospora (10%, 1 species). Glomus was evenly found in all trapping results.

Abstract

Rare recurrent copy number variants (CNVs) at chromosomal loci 22q11.2 and 16p11.2 are among the most common rare genetic disorders associated with significant risk for neuropsychiatric disorders across the lifespan. Microdeletions and duplications in these loci are associated with neurocognitive deficits, yet there are few studies comparing these groups using the same measures. We address this gap in a prospective international collaboration applying the same computerized neurocognitive assessment. The Penn Computerized Neurocognitive Battery (CNB) was administered in a multi-site study on rare genomic disorders: 22q11.2 deletion (n = 397); 22q11.2 duplication (n = 77); 16p11.2 deletion (n = 94); and 16p11.2 duplication (n = 26). Domains examined include executive functions, episodic memory, complex cognition, social cognition, and sensori-motor speed. Accuracy and speed for each neurocognitive domain were included as dependent measures in a mixed-model repeated measures analysis, with locus (22q11.2, 16p11.2) and copy number (deletion/duplication) as grouping factors and neurocognitive domain as a repeated measures factor, with age and sex as covariates. We also examined correlation with IQ and site effects. We found that 22q11.2 deletions were associated with greater deficits in overall performance accuracy than 22q11.2 duplications, while 16p11.2 duplications were associated with greater deficits than 16p11.2 deletions. Duplications at both loci were associated with reduced speed. Performance profiles differed among the groups with particularly poor performance of 16p11.2 duplication on non-verbal reasoning and social cognition. Average accuracy on the CNB was moderately correlated with Full Scale IQ. No site effects were observed. Deletions and duplications of 22q11.2 and 16p11.2 have varied effects on neurocognition indicating locus specificity, with performance profiles differing among the groups. These profile differences can help inform mechanistic substrates to heterogeneity in presentation and outcome. Future studies could aim to link performance profiles to clinical features and brain function.

Abstract
Introduction
: The global impact of the coronavirus pandemic has been particularly devastating among vulnerable populations, with a notably higher mortality rate observed among older adults. During this health crisis, chest computed tomography (CT) scans have emerged as a crucial diagnostic tool for identifying and assessing the severity of coronavirus disease (COVID-19). This study explored the significance of chest CT scan findings in predicting mortality and admission to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) among older patients affected by COVID-19.
Materials and Methods
Conducted as a cross-sectional investigation, this study analyzed demographic characteristics such as age and gender, severity indicators (ICU admission, hospitalization outside the ICU) and outcomes (death or recovery) in a cohort of 411 COVID-19 patients aged 60 and above. Chest CT scan findings, categorized as normal, indeterminate, or abnormal, were scrutinized using SPSS ver. 24 software, with outcome analyses conducted through Chi-Square tests.
Results
Among the enrolled older patients, 52.3% were female, and 47.7% were male, with a mean age of 73.5 ± 8.75 years. The mortality rate reached 24.8%, and the ICU admission rate was 19%. Notably, 76.1% of subjects exhibited typical chest CT scan findings indicative of COVID-19, while 15.6% were classified as indeterminate and 8.3% as atypical. Mortality rates were 21.4% for typical findings, 28.1% for indeterminate results, and 50% for atypical findings. Furthermore, mortality among ICU-admitted patients stood at 78.2%. The incidence of atypical CT scan findings in ICU cases was 15.4%, compared to 6.6% in non-ICU cases.
Conclusion
The presence of atypical chest CT scan findings emerged as a significant predictor of heightened mortality and ICU admission among older individuals affected by COVID-19. This underscores the poor prognostic value associated with atypical findings in this demographic, emphasizing the importance of considering such indicators in the clinical management of older patients with COVID-19.
Effects of Compulsive Internet Use on Health Anxiety: A Mediation Model
Authors: Wang Lin , Su Ning 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
To gain a deeper understanding of the factors influencing health anxiety, this paper proposes a moderated mediating model to explore the interrelationships among compulsive Internet use, intolerance of uncertainty, information avoidance, and health anxiety. By analyzing these variables within the proposed framework, we aim to shed light on the complex dynamics that contribute to health anxiety. Methods: This study included 239 randomly selected undergraduates. We used the Whiteley Index, Information Avoidance questionnaire, Compulsive Internet Use Scale, and Uncertainty Intolerance Questionnaire to comprehensively assess their behaviors and attitudes. Results: (a) The study revealed a positive association between compulsive internet use and health anxiety. (b) Intolerance of uncertainty was identified as a mediator in the relationship between compulsive Internet use and health anxiety. (c) Information avoidance does not mediate the effects of compulsive internet use and intolerance of uncertainty on health anxiety; instead, it directly contributes to increased levels of health anxiety. Conclusion: Compulsive internet use predicts and exacerbates health anxiety by increasing individuals' intolerance of uncertainty. Information avoidance directly exacerbates health anxiety. Effective interventions should focus on reducing compulsive internet use, enhancing tolerance for uncertainty, and addressing information avoidance tendencies to alleviate health anxiety. These findings provide valuable theoretical support for targeted health anxiety interventions.

Published: December 2023

Abstract
In view of the fact that people pay more and more attention to the principle of "getting the position according to the person" and "adapting the person to the position" in person-position matching, a dynamic person-position matching decision method based on hesitant fuzzy numbers is proposed. First, the dynamic person-position matching problem with the hesitant fuzzy numbers is described. Then, according to the hesitant fuzzy evaluation matrices of the positions and the candidates, the expected score matrices of bilateral subjects are calculated. Furthermore, based on the idea of the generalized optimal order method and the dominant correlation and the missing correlation coefficient, the satisfaction mean of both people and positions is calculated. According to the satisfaction mean, the growth satisfaction of each period is obtained, and then the exponential decay formula is used to determine the weights of the growth satisfaction. The dynamic satisfaction of bilateral subjects is calculated by aggregating the initial satisfaction mean and the growth satisfaction. On this basis, a stable person-position matching model considering dynamic satisfaction is established and then is solved to obtain the optimal stable person-position matching scheme. Finally, the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method are verified by the example analysis of person-position matching. The main contributions of this article are as follows: an effective calculation method for the missing correlation coefficient is presented; a novel effective calculation method for the dynamic satisfaction is proposed by introducing the correlation parameter to combine the missing correlation with the dominant correlation coefficient; an effective stable person-position matching model considering the dynamic satisfaction is established.

Abstract
To investigate the population dynamics and correlation between wheat aphids and their natural enemies, we conducted a checkerboard sampling study in Yantai, Shandong province from 2019 to 2022. The main types of wheat aphids observed were S. miscanthi and Rhopalosiphum padi. S. miscanthi was found to occur on May, while R. padi appeared on June. The population dynamics of S. miscanthi followed a parabolic pattern, with peak numbers reached in mid-to-late May, followed by a decline. Similarly, the population of mummified aphids also exhibited a parabolic trend, and there was a linear correlation between the number of mummified aphids and S. miscanthi. However, mummified aphids appeared 4–10 days later than S. miscanthi. Furthermore, the occurrence trends of wheat aphids and their natural enemies generally aligned with each other, except in 2020 when the natural enemies emerged 10 days later than wheat aphids. This indicated a clear follow-up relationship between mummified aphids and S. miscanthi, as well as an evident following relationship between the natural enemies and wheat aphids. In conclusion, our study highlights the interplay of population dynamics among wheat aphids, mummified aphids, and their natural enemies in the Yantai region. These findings can contribute to a better understanding of ecological interactions in agricultural ecosystems and potentially aid in the development of integrated pest management strategies.
