Objective: To assess the internal construct validity, including local independence, unidimensionality, monotonicity, and invariance, reliability, and targeting of the Forgotten Joint Score within the Rasch Measurement Theory framework.
Design: Cross-sectional study.
Patients: A total of 111 patients with total hip arthroplasty at least 3 months after surgery.
Methods: The Forgotten Joint Score was submitted to each subject during their rehabilitative treatment in an Italian centre and then to Rasch analysis.
Results: The base Rasch analysis showed a satisfactory fit to the model with strict unidimensionality and no differential item functioning. However, monotonicity (11 out of 12 items showed disordered thresholds) and local independence were violated. After rescoring 10 items and creating 5 subtests to account for local dependence, the scale satisfied all the other Rasch model requirements (i.e. invariance, local independence, monotonicity, unidimensionality, and multi-group invariance), with reliability indexes (> 0.850) for measurement at the individual level and proper targeting. A raw-score-to-measure conversion table was provided.
Conclusion: After structural (i.e. collapsing items categories) and non-structural (i.e. creating subtests) strategies, the Forgotten Joint Score satisfied the measurement requirements of the Rasch model, and it can be used in patients with total hip arthroplasty in clinical and research settings.

Published: January 2024

Aim. To identify the epidemiological features of HAIs in all patients admitted for surgery from 2018 to 2022. in a cardiac surgery hospital for the implementation of a risk-based prevention strategy.Materials and Methods. A descriptive retrospective epidemiological study of the HAI epidemic process was performed from 2018 to 2022. in patients of a large cardiac surgery hospital (n = 6179). Stratified indicators were calculated. To display unknown relationships and make a forecast, Fourier spectral analysis was performed, followed by the use of artificial intelligence technology - neural networks. The STATISTICA Automated Neural Networks (SANN) tool was used, as well as the StatTech v. 3.0.5.Results. The average rate of HAIs incidence over a 5-year period was 4.22 per 1000 patient days. We revealed decreasing trend of HAIs. Incidence of HCAI cardiopulmonary bypass surgery (CBS) was 3 times higher than without CBS (4.68 and 1.51 per 1000 patient-days, respectively). Fourier analysis revealed 10, 20, 30 cyclicity due to the dominant Klebsiella pneumoniae without the same time-series for other pathogens. The technology of neural network modeling did not reveal neural networks suitable for describing the forecast. Klebsiella pneumoniae showed properties typical of the hospital population and caused 35.49% of all cases of HAIs, had multidrug resistance to antibiotics in 74.45% of cases, with more than half of the strains having extended resistance, and 10.21% were pan-resistant. Acinetobacter baumanii also showed high epidemic activity, causing almost a fifth of all cases of HAIs, although its antimicrobial resistance characteristics were less pronounced than those of Klebsiella pneumoniae.Conclusion. The epidemiological characteristics of the epidemic process of HCAI is one of the mandatory components of risk identification. The identified features of the dynamics of the epidemic process of HCAI in a cardiac surgery hospital, risk groups and time, the structure and characteristics of the microbiota should be taken into account in the HCAI risk management system.
Comparación de los modelos hecras 1D y 2D para la simulación de ríos urbanos
Authors: Rios Arboleda Juan Daniel 
Published: January 2024

En este trabajo de investigación se realiza un análisis comparativo entre los resultadosde velocidad de flujo y profundidad del agua obtenidos mediante la implementación de dos conocidos software de uso libre, el HEC-RAS 4.1 versión unidimensional y el HECRAS 6.0 versión bidimensional. La simulación hidráulica se realizó en un tramo recto y de geometría trapecial uniforme del canal del río Medellín donde se contaba con topobatimetría y caudales de diseño. Los resultados preliminares obtenidos con el modelo HECRAS 6.0 versión bidimensional sugieren que para tramos rectos y uniformes los resultados de la simulación son bastantes similares a los obtenidos con el HEC-RAS 4.1 versión unidimensional. Se concluye que la elaboración de ambos tipos de modelos exige un grado de experiencia importante, sin embargo, el modelo unidimensional arroja valores de las variables hidráulicas sin un grado de esfuerzo y coste computacional tan alto, sin embargo, es evidente que para efectos de manchas de inundación y definición de profundidades es más conveniente el uso del modelo bidimensional pues permite obtener profundidades mayores.
Fuzzy fractional factors in fuzzy graphs-II
Authors: Zhang Hainan , Gan Jianhou , Gao Wei 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
The fractional factor implicates the characteristics of fractional flow in network data transmission, and it is a crucial tool for analyzing network information transfer. When there is uncertain information in the network, the corresponding network graph should be characterized by fuzzy graphs, in which the vertex membership function (MF) describes the uncertainty of sites, and the edge membership reveals the uncertainty of channels. The previous work introduced the concept of fuzzy fractional factor (FFF) on fuzzy graphs, but the correlated concepts are still open on other fuzzy graph classes. In order to overcome this defect, in this contribution, the concept of fuzzy fractional factor is extended to intuitionistic fuzzy graph, Pythagorean fuzzy graph, and picture fuzzy graph. Sign-alternating walk and increasing walk are extended to the corresponding settings, and the transformation operations are redefined in light of various situations. By means of constructive approaches, the corresponding theoretical results are further generalized in these settings, which characterize the existence of (resp. maximum) fuzzy fractional factors in different kinds of fuzzy graphs.

Authors: Javeed Shumaila , Hincal Evren 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
The purpose of this work is to propose a new efficient initial guess algorithm rather than the conventional Newton method to meet the adjoint terminal conditions, rapidly. Thus, the focus of this paper is to use better algorithms for obtaining refined initial guesses with shooting method to solve the coupled boundary value problems. The boundary value problem is formulated as a system of equations i.e. initial value problems with one unknown initial condition. The efficiency and accuracy of the Shooting method is enhanced by improving the initial guess and then solving the problem iteratively.
Symmetry analysis and invariant solutions of generalized coupled Zakharov-Kuznetsov equations using optimal system of Lie subalgebra
Authors: Usman Muhammad , Hussain Akhtar , Zaman Fiazuddin , Abbas Naseem 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
This research focuses on the examination of nonlinear evolution equations, with a specific emphasis on the generalized coupled Zakharov-Kuznetsov (CZK) equations serving as a primary application. Given the wide application of classical Lie symmetry methods in this field, this study employs a Lie symmetry analysis to investigate the CZK equations, as detailed in this research. Our methodology involves the construction of a nine-dimensional optimal system by leveraging the fundamental elements of the Lie algebra. Subsequently, we apply similarity reductions to the equations using each subalgebra. The resulting invariant solutions find diverse applications within the realm of physics and can also be adapted to solve a broad range of related nonlinear evolution equations. We meticulously validate all these solutions through a straightforward verification process. To enhance our comprehension of the physical implications of these solutions, we employ Mathematica simulations to visually represent various solution scenarios. Additionally, to preserve conservation laws, we incorporate Ibragimov’s novel conservation law theorem as a crucial component of our analysis.

On the complex version of the Cahn–Hilliard–Oono type equation for long interactions phase separation
Authors: Fakih Hussein , Faour Mahdi , Saoud Wafa , Awad Yahia 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
This paper focuses on the complex version of the Cahn-Hilliard-Oono equation with Neumann boundary conditions, which is used to capture long-range nonlocal interactions in the phase separation process. The first part of the paper establishes the well-posedness of the corresponding stationary problem associated with the equation. Subsequently, a numerical model is constructed using a finite element discretization in space and a backward Euler scheme in time. We demonstrate the existence of a unique solution to the stationary problem and obtain error estimates for the numerical solution. This, in turn, serves as proof of the convergence of the semi-discrete scheme to the continuous problem. Finally, we establish the convergence of the fully discrete problem to the semi-discrete formulation.

Authors: Rosales Arturo G. , Martinez Javier A. , Ortiz-Cruz Julio C. , Garica Anabel M. , Murillo-Geraldo Dalia I. , Garcia-Becerra Carlos A. 
Published: January 2024

Background:
Hepatic hemangioma (HH) is described as the most prevalent benign hepatic tumor, and it is usually discovered incidentally as a symptomless mass of less than 3 cm. Kasabach-Merritt syndrome is described as a rare but severe complication of some vascular tumors. This syndrome presents as severe thrombocytopenia accompanied by a consumptive coagulopathy.

Case Presentation:
A 35-year-old female, with a history of a hepatic tumor that was incidentally diagnosed with an ultrasound, later develops abdominal distention, petechiae, and prominent hematomas that appear with minimal trauma. At the initial approach, hematological data of microangiopathic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and consumptive coagulopathy were accompanied by the histopathological and imaging diagnosis of a Giant HH.

Conclusion:
Although, it is a very rare complication, the severity of this syndrome requires a prompt diagnosis and treatment.
Classification of risks in the risk management system of innovative development of Russian regions
Authors: Shirinkina Elena Viktorovna , Volkorez Aleksei Aleksandrovich 
Published: January 2024

The relevance of this study is due to the fact that risk management is a task assigned to each region of the Russian Federation, which is of particular importance in modern conditions. On the one hand, this is due to the requirements of the global market, where innovation is a recognized tool for improving competitiveness, solving socio-economic problems of society. On the other hand, this is necessary due to the increasing distortions of key indicators of regional innovative development of the country, which requires taking measures to preserve the sustainable development of highly innovative territories and the intensification of laggards, taking into account the sectoral and other specifics of their functioning. The subject of the study is the mechanism of risk management based on the identification and classification of risks and opportunities of the eastern regions of Russia in ensuring effective innovative development. The novelty of the research lies in the fact that the authors present the key directions for improving the risk management mechanism of the innovation space of the regions of Russia, taking into account the differentiation of the regional economic space in the direction of establishing a high-quality and sustainable system of interaction between objects and subjects of the innovation space based on the identified priorities. Due to the fact that risk management of innovative development has been the object of research in domestic dissertations for more than 25 years, the question arose: what risks were identified, and recommendations for their solution were offered by the authors during this period ? How much has the set of analyzed risks and challenges changed (and has it changed) ? How has the content of the approaches and methods of risk management proposed for the activation of innovative development changed ? To answer these questions, more than 60 doctoral dissertations, defended over the past 25 years, devoted to risk management of innovative processes in the regions, were analyzed.
Dentoskeletal and soft-tissue changes concurrent to use of PowerScope appliance in treatment of Class II malocclusion – A retrospective study
Authors: Sajjan Shivaleela , Naik Vijay R. , Naik Sindhu 
Published: January 2024

Objectives:
The most frequently encountered malocclusion in our daily clinical practice is Class II malocclusion with mandibular retrognathism. Treatment modalities for Class II malocclusion correction depend on numerous factors such as the severity of the malocclusion and the age at which the patient reports for the treatment. One of the innovations in Class II treatment is the PowerScope appliance. The objectives of this study were: (1) To evaluate dentoskeletal changes with the use of PowerScope appliance in the treatment of Class II division I malocclusion using lateral cephalograms in late adolescents. (2) To evaluate the soft-tissue changes with the use of PowerScope appliance in the treatment of Class II division I malocclusion using lateral cephalograms in late adolescents.

Materials and Methods:
This retrospective and cross-sectional study was done using pre- and post-treatment lateral cephalograms of 15 patients treated with PowerScope appliance who were under decelerated growth phase as assessed by cervical vertebrae maturation index (Stages 4, 5, and 6). All the lateral cephalograms were hand traced and measured by same investigator.

Results:
A highly statistically significant difference was observed between the pre-and post-angle formed by sella nasion plane and nasion to point B line (SNB), angle formed by nasion to point A line and nasion to point B line (ANB), condylion to point gnathion (Co–Gn), and distance between point A to nasion perpendicular (N perpendicular to Point A) to Pog skeletal parameters. It was found that a highly significant difference was noted for parameters upper molar to palatal plane (U6-PP), lower incisor to nasion to point B line (L1-NB), lower incisor to nasion to point B line (L1-NB*), lower incisor to mandibular plane angle (IMPA), and upper molar to pterygoid vertical line (U6-PTV). A significant difference was present for parameters upper incisor to nasion to point A line (U1-NA), while no difference was observed for upper incisor to sella nasion plane (U1-SN) and upper molar to pterygoid vertical line (U6-PTV). A significant statistical difference was observed between the pre-and post-lower lip to E line parameter.

Conclusion:
PowerScope caused significant skeletal changes by forward repositioning of the mandible as well as by an increase in the length of the mandible. There was significant retrusion of upper incisors and a highly significant increase in lower incisor protrusion, lower molar mesialization, and upper molar intrusion. Soft-tissue lower lip protrusion was significant.

Authors: Irheim Al Sheibani Bassim 
Published: January 2024

Background: In addition to their primary indications, hypertension and congestive heart failure, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, ACE-Is, have pleiotropic effects, which are under active investigations. There is growing evidence of data stating the significant role of ACE-Is in the regulation of hemostasis.Objectives: The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of ACEIs on coagulation in hyperlipidemia.Materials and Methods: Twenty-eight male Sprague-Dawely rats aged 17-19 weeks were enrolled in this study. The animals were randomized into four groups each containg seven rats: group1, 2,3 and 4. Group 1 was fed a standard chow diet and serve as normal diet control while group 2,3 and 4 received atherogenic diet (4% cholesterol-enriched diet) for eight weeks. Animals in group 2, 3 and 4 were treated with distilled water (lipidemic control), captopril and enalapril for the next four weeks respectively. Captopril was used in a dose of 2x25 mg/kg/day P.O. Enalapril was given in a dose of 15 mg /kg/day P.O. At the end of the experiment, the animals were sacrified and blood sample was obtained from the heart for determination of prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), plasma fibrinogen, platelets count and total serum cholesterol (TSC).Results: Hyperlipidemia is associated with significant rise in plasma fibrinogen level (p<0.05). Captopril and enalapril treatment showed significant fall in elevated plasma fibrinogen levels (p<0.05). Hyperlipidemic rats treated with captopril and enalapril for 4 weeks showed significant prolongation of PT and aPTT ( p<0.05) while the platelets counts were statistically unaffected ( p>0.05).Conclusion: We conclude that captopril and enalapril possess favorable effect on coagulation in hyperlipidemia.
