Background
Age-related macular degeneration is the primary cause of irreversible blindness in developed countries, whereas the global prevalence of osteoporosis–a major public health problem–is 19.7%. Both diseases may coincide in populations aged >50 years, leading to serious health deterioration and decreased quality of life.

Objectives
This study aimed to analyze the relationship between age-related macular degeneration and osteopenia, defined as decreased bone mineral density, in the Polish population.

Methods
Participants were derived from the population-based Bialystok PLUS Study. Randomized individuals were stratified into two groups, those with age-related macular degeneration (AMD-1 group) or without age-related macular degeneration (AMD-0 group). Using a cutoff value of −1.0 to identify low bone mass, participants with femoral bone mineral density T-scores above −1.0 were assigned to the normal reference, and those with T-scores below −1.0 were assigned to the osteopenia category. Among 436 Caucasian participants aged 50–80 years (252 women, 184 men), the prevalence of age-related macular degeneration was 9.9% in women and 12.0% in men. Decreased bone mineral density based on T-scores was observed in 36.9% of women and in 18.9% of men. Significant differences in femoral bone mineral density between the AMD-0 and AMD-1 groups were detected only in men (mean difference [95% confidence interval] = 0.11 (0.02; 0.13); p = 0.012 for femoral bone mineral density, and 0.73 [0.015; 0.94]; p = 0.011 for the femoral T-score). No associations were observed between bone mineral density and age-related macular degeneration in women.

Conclusion
Decreased femoral bone mineral density may be associated with a higher risk of age-related macular degeneration in men, but a causal link remains unclear.

Published: October 2023

India is home to 30% of the world’s organic growers and is likely to expand in the coming years. The solutionto the issues of sustainability, global warming, land degradation and food security is Organic Farming, which is seen as a sign of dynamic change for the agricultural industry. Organic Farming discards the use of synthetic fertilizers and promotes sustainable agricultural practices. Organic Farming holds immense potential to revive the degrading state of the agricultural sector in the world by offering environmental benefits, quality products and conserving non-renewable resources. It is a promising alternative to conventional farming and is expanding quickly. Organic Farming is gaining worldwide attention with 2.30 million hectares of land being used for the purpose. It helps to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and improves soil fertility, boosting productivity and crop health. Organic Farming can also be used for land reclamation purposes. The aim of the present study is to examine the development of Organic Farming in India and globally, as well as identify any potential barriers to its implementation.
New measurement approaches to identifying spatial concentrations of poor and low-income households in German city regions
Authors: Fina Stefan , Schmitz Julian , Weck Sabine , Pfaffenbach Carmella , Dobusch Diane 
Published: October 2023

The question of whether 21st-century urbanization dynamics are leading to a suburbanization of poverty in Western city regions has been on the agenda of spatial researchers and housing policymakers for over a decade now. Persistent reurbanization trends are putting increased pressure on inner-city housing markets, resulting in affordability problems for low-income households. Evidence from the US and the UK shows that financing mechanisms in the real estate sector were severely disrupted in the aftermath of the financial crisis in 2009 and subsequent years, with many households losing their homes and being forced to move. Though social security systems and social housing policies generally have a moderating effect, they vary widely across Western countries. Against this background, this paper presents three spatial observation methods tailored to the spatial analysis of poverty concentrations in Germany. The methods are based on three popular conceptualizations of poverty: material poverty, relative poverty, and the concept of neighbourhood deprivation. The main novelty presented in this paper is a cold-spot analysis of purchasing power in 33 city regions using interactive map visualizations and complemented by socioeconomic indicators. Expert feedback verifies the validity of the approach which addresses a ‘blind spot’ in assessing poverty in Germany, where many low-income households are increasingly exposed to risks of poverty despite not qualifying for social benefits.

Published: October 2023

AbstractAdditive manufacturing has become a cutting-edge technique to produce biomaterials for various clinical applications. Recent investigations have shown their significance and highlighted their future requirements. Many additive manufacturing technologies are mostly related to manufacturing polyether ether ketone (PEEK) based implants. Among them, fused filament fabrication (FFF) or fused deposition modelling (FDM) is the preferred method. Specifically, FFF builds complex scaffolds for tissue engineering and customized implants, which are not achievable with traditional fabrication methods. PEEK is a rigid, tissue-compatible, lightweight polymer with good wear characteristics and a long implant life. In general, PEEK has many valuable properties and the potential to solve many medical problems, especially orthopaedic implantation. This paper provides a brief study that gives an overview of PEEK-based biomaterials for FFF-based orthopaedic procedures, materials evolution, recent advancements, and the current research progress is also addressed systematically.

Abstract
Identifying and appropriately managing urinary tract infections (UTIs) among chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients are essential to reduce further disease complications and economic burden. Hence, this study aims to determine the prevalence of UTIs among CKD patients and study the antibiogram of the bacterial isolates. Four hundred eighty-two clean catch midstream urine samples were collected from CKD patients during the study period. The samples were cultured, and bacteria were isolated using standard microbiological techniques. Antibiotic susceptibility testing was performed by the Kirby–Bauer disc diffusion method following the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute guidelines. Of the 482 CKD patients, 15.8% were culture positive, and the majority was elderly aged group population. Most bacterial isolates were Escherichia coli 50%, followed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa 15.80%, Enterococcus species 15.80%, and Klebsiella pneumoniae 11.84%. The majority of bacteria were found to be resistant to beta-lactam antibiotics, ampicillin (94.67%), ceftriaxone (89.04%), cefotaxime (87.5%), and ceftazidime (84.0%), while polymyxin, colistin, vancomycin, meropenem, and imipenem were the most sensitive antibiotics. In our study, higher levels of antibiotic resistance were observed among urinary isolates. Therefore, our findings suggest clinicians to choose better antibiotic options to treat UTIs among CKD patients.

AbstractIn this work, we report an effective approach based on an artificial intelligence technique to investigate the secondary ions mass spectroscopy (SIMS) profiles of boron, phosphorus and arsenic ions. Those dopant ions were implanted into n- and p-type (100) Silicon substrate using the ion implantation technique with energy of 100 and 180 keV. Annealing treatment was conducted at various temperatures ranging from 900 to 1030 °C for 30 min. The doping profile parameters such as the activation energy, diffusion coefficient, junction depth, implant dose, projected range and standard deviation were determined using particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. The efficiency of this strategy was experimentally verified by the fitting between both real measured SIMS profile and predicted ones. In addition, a set of simulated doping profiles was generated for different annealing time to prove the ability of this approach to accurately estimate the above parameters even when changing the experimental conditions.

Reproductive Justice-Informed Care for Stis, Contraception, and Abortion in Pediatrics
Authors: Karbeah J’Mag , Hassan Asha , Hardeman Rachel 
Published: October 2023

As comprehensive contraceptive counseling has become the standard of care within pediatrics, new questions and concerns about patients’ ages and abilities to make reproductive choices have arisen. It is important for pediatric health professionals, who often shape individuals’ relationships with the health care system throughout their life course, to understand how racism affects the reproductive and sexual health care experience of minoritized youth. The reproductive justice framework highlights the necessity for reproductive autonomy for adolescents and emerging adults and aligns with the idea of bodily autonomy that pediatric health professionals already recognize. However, connecting the need for bodily autonomy with understanding the impacts of historical and current racialized coercion, exploitation, and disenfranchisement on health care delivery is necessary.

The Role of Racism in Child and Adolescent Injuries
Authors: Hoffman Benjamin D. 
Published: October 2023

Unintentional injuries are the leading cause of youth mortality in the United States, with an average of more than 6,000 children and youth between the ages of 1 and 18 dying annually. Although pediatric health professionals have noted improvement in some areas, such as infant sleep-related death and motor-vehicle occupant fatalities, the injury epidemic persists. As with many epidemics, the risk is more significant for minoritized communities, often resulting from structural inequity and racism.

The Impact of Interactions with Law Enforcement On the Health of Racially Minoritized Youth
Authors: Jindal Monique , Corley Alexandra M. S. 
Published: October 2023

Police contact is a critical determinant of health. Racial disparities persist in police contact, resulting in health inequities for people from minoritized groups, including death. Children and adolescents are not exempt from interactions with the police because they may be secondarily exposed to law enforcement through their caregivers, passively surveilled within their neighborhoods, and even directly subjected to contact with border patrol agents, school resource officers, and community police. Pediatric and adolescent health professionals should be well versed in policing as a potential source of trauma for children, adolescents, and their families. They should advocate for evidence-based interventions that reduce exposure to police contact.

Social Determinants of Health and the Invisible Ubiquity of Racism: A Driving Force of Health Inequities and the Way Forward
Authors: Thornton Rachel L. J. 
Published: October 2023

Pediatric clinical and population health efforts are increasingly focused on the social determinants of health, the political, economic, social, and environmental conditions in which children grow, learn, live, and play, which can lead to lifelong impacts on health and well-being. For pediatric health professionals seeking to advance child health equity, understanding disparate social conditions within the context of racism as a structural force is critical. This chapter examines how health care delivery, medical education, access to economic opportunity, and essential goods and services are distributed in our local communities, states, and nation. Equipped with this knowledge, pediatric health professionals can address urgent unmet social needs among their patient populations.

Pediatric and Adolescent Research On Race and Racism
Authors: Coyne-Beasley Tamera , Svetaz María Verónica 
Published: October 2023

The increase in hate crimes over the past decade, combined with centuries of social and racial injustice, has catalyzed an urgency for scientists to examine what the authors describe as the racism research gap: the unacceptable lack of research on effective interventions and best practices to promote resiliency and address racism as a social determinant of health (SDOH), an adverse childhood experience, and a source of chronic stress among children and adolescents. Scientific research will be critical for developing evidence-based effective interventions to mitigate the impacts of racism and its resultant health disparities. More importantly, dismantling racism will require a comprehensive, multi-sector, interdisciplinary, and life course approach across all levels of the socio-ecological framework with a focus on the SDOH.

Aus dem evangelischen Pfarrhaus in Lodz und Umgebung. Die Literatur der evangelisch-augsburgischen Dichterpfarrer 1839-1939. Eine kommentierte Anthologie
Authors: Kucner Monika 
Published: October 2023

Innerhalb von mehreren Dutzend Jahren entstand in Lodz eine Gesellschaft mit extremen sozialen Kontrasten, in der die ethnisch fremde (deutsche und jüdische) Bourgeoisie die führende Rolle spielte. In der Stadt dominierten zwei Schichten, die oben genannte Bourgeoisie und die Arbeiter. Irgendwo am Rande der Gesellschaft gab es noch eine begrenzte Zahl von Vertretern der Intelligenz. Die Mittelschicht, zu der Kleinindustrielle, Beamte und Vertreter der sogenannten freien Berufe wie Ärzte, Lehrer, Journalisten, Rechtsanwälte, Schriftsteller gehörten, existierte ebenfalls nur in geringem Maße. Aber Lodz brauchte solche Menschen, die eine wichtige Trägergruppe gesellschaftlicher Entwicklung und eine stabilisierende Kraft gewesen wären. Zu dieser Gruppe zählen Menschen, die sich um die geistige und moralische Entwicklung der Gesellschaft kümmern. Ihre Rolle beruht darauf, Kultur, Tradition und Glauben aufrechtzuerhalten und die ethischen Werte zu vermitteln.	Die Lodzer Gesellschaft, die unter den Bedingungen des Kapitalismus aufwuchs, in dem Geld den wichtigsten Wert darstellte, benötigte eine besondere geistliche Fürsorge. Aus diesem Grund spielten die Geistlichen eine wichtige Rolle in der Stadt. Sie sollten in erster Linie den Glauben in der Gesellschaft verbreiten und für das Seelenheil der Bevölkerung sorgen. Die Lodzer Geistlichen lehrten nicht nur den Glauben oder spielten nicht nur die Rolle moralischer Autorität, oft fungierten sie als Vermittler, Erzieher im kulturellen Bereich. Oft griffen sie zur Feder, um ihre Gedanken zu Papier zu bringen. Sie verfassten literarische und publizistische Texte auf Deutsch oder Polnisch und veröffentlichten sie in lokalen Zeitungen und Zeitschriften oder seltener in Buchform. Das journalistische und literarische Schreiben war bei lutherischen Geistlichen besonders beliebt. Sie ermöglichten ein ästhetisches Gefühl in einer anderen Form als nur durch die Sonntagspredigt zu entwickeln, den Geschmack für das Schöne in der Kunst zu wecken und die Gläubigen dazu zu führen, ein Gefüge von sinnlichen und geistigen Werten des evangelisch-augsburgischen Glaubens in sich aufzunehmen. Diese Anthologie präsentiert einen kleinen Teil eines umfangreicheren Schrifttums evangelisch-augsburgischer Pastoren aus Lodz und Umgebung von 1839 bis 1939. Den Hauptteil des Bandes bildet die Textsammlung der deutschsprachigen Dichterpfarrer, darunter Philipp Kreutz, Rudolf Gundlach oder August Hermann Müller. Die Publikation ist eine kommentierte Anthologie, also eine Textsammlung mit einem ausführlichen Kommentar zur Geschichte der Stadt und der Entwicklung der evangelisch-augsburgischen Pfarreien aus Lodz und Umgebung im 19. und Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts.
Aproximaciones para comprender y prevenir la violencia obstétrica
Authors: Iguiniz Ruth , Valdivia del Rio Fátima 
Published: October 2023

Objetivo: presentar un análisis crítico de la literatura que aborda el surgimiento de la violencia obstétrica como concepto y sus características; enfatizando los aportes que ofrece para repensar los estudios y las prácticas del cuidado obstétrico e identificar oportunidades de intervención para prevenirla desde el ámbito académico de docencia e investigación. Análisis central del tema: La definición de la violencia obstétrica se viene gestando desde inicios de 1980 cuando las iniciativas feministas y de mujeres en Sudamérica comenzaron a recoger; y en confluencia con las ciencias sociales, a investigar sistemáticamente los testimonios sobre la experiencia de las mujeres, describiendo explícitamente los partos institucionales como una experiencia violenta; las perspectivas del personal de salud y las distintas causas. Mientras que en alianzas, con parteras, doulas, y obstetras, impulsaron el movimiento por el parto humanizado o parto respetado. Aporte: El uso del concepto de violencia obstétrica permite no solo vigilar y sancionar a quienes corresponda; sino en que nos da la oportunidad y responsabilidad de repensar y modificar la propia formación y práctica médica, los procedimientos y procesos de atención y las relaciones e interacciones entre personal de salud y pacientes en el sistema de salud; entre hombres y mujeres en la sociedad.
