Published: December 2023

Η παρούσα εργασία διερευνά τις αντιλήψεις 70 πρωτοετών φοιτητών/τριών του Τμήματος Φυσικής του Πανεπιστημίου Ιωαννίνων σχετικά με την αξιοπιστία των πειραματικών δεδομένων και ειδικότερα για την ανάγκη λήψης επαναληπτικών μετρήσεων καθώς και τις επιπτώσεις του εύρους της μέτρησης που σχετίζεται με τα δεδομένα. Το ερευνητικό εργαλείο αποτελείται από 6 σενάρια εργασίας (ανοικτού τύπου ερωτήσεις). Οι απαντήσεις τους κατηγοριοποιήθηκαν σε δύο ομάδες: Το «πρότυπο σημείου» (Point paradigm) και το πρότυπο ομάδων σημείων (set paradigm). Τα αποτελέσματα της έρευνας αναδεικνύουν πως οι ακολουθούμενες διαδικασίες και οι αιτιολογήσεις των φοιτητών/τριών σχετικά με τις πειραματικές μετρήσεις και τη σύγκριση συνολικά των δεδομένων χαρακτηρίζονται, κυρίως, από την αντίληψη του «πρότυπου σημείου»

Published: December 2023

Introduction:
UVA therapy is used in treatment of wide range of skin diseases, which proceed with hardening of the skin or inflammation. First use of ultraviolet radiation can be tracked down to 1896. Wavelength vary among diseases against which it is used. In literature as results of therapy are mentioned improvement of skin elasticity, reduction of inflammation, and protection from relapse. In terms of sclerotic skin diseases most promising effect is seen in reducing skin hardness in the mechanism of stimulating collagen breakdown. The therapy itself has a good safety profile, but is time-consuming due to the high frequency of irradiation. Effectiveness of treatment are determined by factors such as advancement of skin lesions, pigmentation and the intensity of the therapy itself.
Aim of study:
The aim of the study is to summarize the available knowledge about the UVA therapy in skin diseases. The way of work, effectiveness of treatment, side effects and potential new methods of use were summarized and described.
Materials and methods:
The literature available in PubMed database was reviewed using following keywords:
“UVA therapy”, “UVA”, “Scleroderma”, “Buschke’s Scleredema”, “Systemic sclerosis”, “Morphea”
Conclusion:
UVA1 therapy is one of the most effective therapeutic options in subtypes of morphea which affect only superficial tissues. Phototherapy accelerate healing of ulcerations on fingertips in patients with Systemic sclerosis. Patient suffering from Buschke Sclerederma had good response to therapy. Observed side effects consist of hyperpigmentation, erythema, xerosis and pruritus in range from mild to severe. Carcinogenic effect has not yet been proven.

Published: December 2023

Introduction:
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a chronic condition which is characterized by the gradual loss of kidney function over time leading to End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). Role of kidneys is very vital to maintain homeostasis of the system. CKD is classified into five stages based on the estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR). CKD is a long-term condition which cannot be completely cured. Treatment focuses on managing underlying conditions , slowing disease progression and addressing complications.
Aim of the study:
Purpose of this study is to encapsulate available knowledge about classification and therapeutic options for patients with Chronic Kidney Disease and End-Stage Kidney Disease. Both old and new treatment methods have been summarized in the following publication.
Material and methods:
Literature available in the PubMed database was reviewed using the following keywords:
“Chronic kidney disease”, “ACE inhibitors” , “Angiotensin II Type 1 Receptor Blockers", “Diabetic Kidney Disease” ,”End-Stage Kidney Disease”, “Dapagliflozin”,
Conclusions:
Chronic Kidney Disease is a condition which is progressive and affects more than 10% of the general population worldwide totaling over 800 million people. There are many causes of chronic kidney disease; therefore, it is important to focus on slowing the progression of the disease, minimizing complications and modifying risk factors.

Published: December 2023

Introduction: Particulate matter (PM) as a part of outdoor air pollutants are classified as human carcinogens. They are formed majorly as a result of combustion process by industry, power plants and engines. PM can be divided by the size of their particles into PM2.5 and PM10, where PM2.5 are small enough to penetrate into the alveoli sacs in the lung reaching the bloodstream, whereas PM10 affect mostly oral cavity, nose and the throat.
Aim of the study: This study aims to investigate the impact of PM2.5 and PM10 particle concentrations in the EU NUTS 2 subregions on the death rates due to the most common malignant neoplasms.
Results: There is a positive moderate correlation (r = 0.421; p < 0.001) between the annual mean concentration of PM2.5 and deaths due to malignant tumors. The strongest correlation was observed for malignant neoplasms of larynx, which is a positive correlation with a strong effect (r = 0.641; p < 0.001); and malignant neoplasm of bladder (r = 0.523; p < 0.001). For PM10, there is a moderately weak positive correlation (r = 0,195; p = 0.008) between the annual average concentration of PM10 and deaths due to malignant tumors. The strongest correlation was observed for malignant neoplasms of larynx, which is a positive correlation with a strong effect (r = 0,551; p < 0.001).
Conclusion: The effect of PM impact on the malignant neoplasms is strong to moderate. The most affected neoplasm site are the ones the PMs intake occurs, being in the respiratory system. However other sites, where PMs can accumulate can be impacted as well. Further studies about the population with the highest risk due to the PMs exposure may be beneficial as other non-air quality-connected predictors may be found.

Authors: Hoşbaş Beyzanur Dikmen , Sertel Meral 
Published: December 2023

Background/Aims In children with unilateral spastic cerebral palsy, the upper extremity is usually more affected than the lower extremity. Somatosensory, functional and developmental disorders cause difficulties in hand function. The aim of this study was to assess the immediate effects of kinesio tape and vibration therapy in addition to conventional physiotherapy on gross and fine manual dexterity in children with unilateral spastic cerebral palsy. Methods A total of 45 children aged 4–18 years with mild to moderate spasticity (at levels 0, 1, 1+, 2 according to the Modified Ashworth Scale) who could grip and release an object, and those who had hand function at levels 1, 2 and 3 according to the Manual Ability Classification System and were diagnosed with unilateral spastic cerebral palsy, were included in the study. The children were randomised into three groups: vibration therapy, kinesio taping and control, with 15 children in each group. While conventional physiotherapy was regularly continued in all three groups, the kinesio taping group had kinesio tape applied to the wrist extensors, with 50% tension on the wrist and thumb and 25% tension on the fingers at the beginning of the session. The vibration therapy group received vibration to the forearm extensor muscle group at the end of the session. Vibration was applied to the widest part of the forearm extensor muscles with a 7 cm tip at a frequency of 80 Hz, amplitude of 1 mm, vibration for 10 seconds and rest for 5 seconds, for a total of 10 minutes. Gross and fine dexterity were assessed by Box and Block Test and Nine-Hole Peg Test before and after treatment. Results When the groups were compared before and after the intervention, a significant improvement was found in the Nine-Hole Peg Test scores of the kinesio taping (105.11± 66.99 vs 86.22 ± 51.88, P<0.05) and vibration therapy (61.70 ± 35.54 vs 57.29 ± 38.05, P<0.05) groups and in the Box and Block Test scores of all three groups: kinesio taping group (25.13 ± 14.33 vs 28.40 ± 14.23, P<0.05), vibration therapy group (35.00 ± 11.69 vs 39.07 ± 12.43, P<0.05), control group (34.60 ± 11.74 vs 37.80 ± 11.22, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the Nine-Hole Peg Test scores between the groups, while a significant improvement was found in the Box-Block Test scores of the kinesio taping group compared to the vibration therapy and control groups (P<0.05). Conclusions Kinesio taping and vibration have positive immediate effects on gross and fine manual dexterity in children with unilateral spastic cerebral palsy and can be used by physiotherapists to support conventional physiotherapy and rehabilitation programmes.
Comparing easywrap with six other adjustable wraps for compression therapy in venous and lymphatic disease by variation in pressure, stiffness and elasticity
Authors: Phillips Natalie , Wright Tom 
Published: December 2023

Background: There is no clear guidance or comprehensive comparative evidence to help clinicians select between adjustable wraps for compression therapy. However, adjustable wraps could be compared with three metrics used for compression bandages: variation in pressure, stiffness and elasticity. Aims: To determine whether easywrap (Haddenham Healthcare) had lower standard deviation (SD) in lying pressure, greater static stiffness index (SSI) and/or a greater mean elongation ratio than six other adjustable wraps. Methods: In this preliminary exploratory study, seven adjustable wraps were tested in vivo 20 times each (140 tests in total), on 20 people (with a variable number of readings per participant), to give the SD in lying pressure and mean SSI. The same wraps were tested in vitro five times each to give the mean elongation ratio. Findings: Of all seven adjustable wraps, easywrap had the second lowest SD in lying pressure at 5.9 mmHg, compared with 8.9 mmHg overall; the highest mean SSI at 13.2 mmHg, compared with 9.5 mmHg overall; and the highest mean elongation ratio at 137.0%, compared with 107.1% overall. Conclusions: These metrics suggest that easywrap has clinical advantages over other adjustable wraps. A lower variation in lying pressure suggests more consistent application of pressures within intended therapeutic levels. Higher SSI indicates greater resistance to stretching, which is linked to improved venous function and oedema reduction. Higher elongation ratio demonstrates greater tensile strength, which should maintain therapeutic pressure for longer without readjustment.

Published: December 2023

Abstract
This study evaluated the appropriateness of scoring the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function—Preschool (BRIEF-P) using age-equivalent scores generated from multiple measures of cognition and language among school-age children with Down syndrome (DS). Subscale T scores for 95 children with DS were contrasted using standard scoring on the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function—Second edition (BRIEF-2; based on chronological age) to alternate scoring using the BRIEF-P (based on age-equivalent) for patterns of subscale intercorrelations, differences in mean scores, and agreement on findings from clinical cut-off scores. Results with children with DS suggested using (1) the BRIEF-P for children ages 2–5 years old, (2) the BRIEF-2 with chronological-age scoring or the BRIEF-P with age-equivalent scoring (with some caveats) for research on children ages 5–10 years old, and (3) the BRIEF-2 for children ages 11 and older.

Published: December 2023

Background
Research has shown increased mental health problems and use of prescription drugs among adolescents in recent years and social media use has been linked to poorer mental health. However, trend studies concerning these topics are scarce. The purpose of this study was to analyze gender-specific trends in a) symptoms of depression and loneliness, and b) prescription of antidepressants, hypnotics and sedatives, in relation to the emergence of social media among adolescents in Norway.

Methods
This is an ecological study using data from the ‘Young in Oslo’ surveys from 1996 to 2021. The surveys included approximately 110 000 students, 14–17 years of age, and yielded a response rate varying from 95% in 1996 to 64% in 2021. A self-report questionnaire was used to collect information on symptoms of depression and loneliness. Information on antidepressant and sleep medication prescription was retrieved from the Norwegian Prescription Database for the age group 15 to 19 years. A graphical approach and logistic regression models were used to examine gender-specific time-trends between 1996 to 2021.

Results
We found a doubling in self-reported symptoms of depression and loneliness among girls between 1996 and 2021, with the steepest increase in the period from 2006 to 2012, when Facebook and other social media were introduced. A similar trend was observed in the prescription of antidepressants among girls, with the steepest increase between 2011 and 2013. Among both boys and girls, ‘worried too much about things’ and ‘had sleep problems’ were the two symptoms with the greatest changes.

Conclusion
A significant upward trend in self-reported depressive symptoms and medication use was observed over the past 25 years, with variations in the rate of increase, including a steeper trajectory during certain periods immediately after the introduction of social media platforms in Norway.

Published: December 2023

Background
High rejection rates of upper limb prosthetics indicate that current prosthetic devices only partially meet user demands. This study therefore investigated the benefits and challenges with current prostheses, associated services and potential areas for improvement from the perspective of upper limb prosthesis users and various professionals working in the field of upper limb and hand prosthetics.

Methods and findings
Seven different focus group discussions were conducted with 32 participants. Participants were grouped by prosthesis type, if they were prosthesis users, or professionals. All focus group discussions were transcribed verbatim, and a summarizing content analysis was performed. Three main topic areas to be addressed emerged from the interviews: 1. a properly functioning prosthesis, 2. the infrastructure, and 3. users’ psychological and physical prerequisites. The interaction between a well-functioning prosthesis and a well-developed infrastructure was shown to be important for successful use.

Conclusions
Our study raises many of the same issues that have been reported in previous qualitative studies, dating back over several decades. This study underlines the need to include users and professionals in the future development of prosthetic devices.
