Authors: MANCI Egemen , ÖZDALYAN Fırat 
Published: October 2023

It is striking that, while the number of esports participants continues to rise, so is the volume of research on the subject. Furthermore, although the literature on esports players and chronotypes is relatively small, there are a few significant insights under the small findings. In this study, it was aimed to determine the chronotypes of young adults interested in esports and to examine the relationship between them and their physical activity status.
The participants in this study group included 190 participants aged 17 to 24 who are interested in esports and live in different regions of Turkey. A web-based survey was used to obtain data from esports players who participated in esports education. With this survey, the demographic information, playing time, physical activity status, and the Morningness–eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ) scale were applied to determine the chronotypes of the participants. Then, the distribution of the collected data was determined and analyzed with the SPSS 25 program.
The results of the study revealed that young adult participants interested in esports were primarily "neither type (62%)" and then "evening type (31%)". In addition, according to the IPAQ results, the physical activity levels of "evening type" were significantly lowest (p

Abstract
The observation of gravitational waves from multiple compact binary coalescences by the LIGO–Virgo–KAGRA detector networks has enabled us to infer the underlying distribution of compact binaries across a wide range of masses, spins, and redshifts. In light of the new features found in the mass spectrum of binary black holes and the uncertainty regarding binary formation models, nonparametric population inference has become increasingly popular. In this work, we develop a data-driven clustering framework that can identify features in the component mass distribution of compact binaries simultaneously with those in the corresponding redshift distribution, from gravitational-wave data in the presence of significant measurement uncertainties, while making very few assumptions about the functional form of these distributions. Our generalized model is capable of inferring correlations among various population properties, such as the redshift evolution of the shape of the mass distribution itself, in contrast to most existing nonparametric inference schemes. We test our model on simulated data and demonstrate the accuracy with which it can reconstruct the underlying distributions of component masses and redshifts. We also reanalyze public LIGO–Virgo–KAGRA data from events in GWTC-3 using our model and compare our results with those from some alternative parametric and nonparametric population inference approaches. Finally, we investigate the potential presence of correlations between mass and redshift in the population of binary black holes in GWTC-3 (those observed by the LIGO–Virgo–KAGRA detector network in their first three observing runs), without making any assumptions about the specific nature of these correlations.
Dust Coagulation in Oxygen-rich Circumstellar Outflows

Abstract
We show that the inefficient growth of SiO molecules on (SiO)
x
dust grains prolongs the period of maximum dust nucleation in circumstellar outflows resulting in a several orders-of-magnitude increase in the dust density near the star. This increase in dust density powers dust coagulation and results in the formation of large fractal aggregates that should be extremely efficient per unit mass in coupling to both the stellar radiation field and to the ambient gas.
On the Theory of Ring Afterglows
Authors: DuPont Marcus , MacFadyen Andrew , Sari Re’em 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Synchrotron and inverse Compton emission successfully explain the observed spectra of gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows. It is thought that most GRBs are products of extremely relativistic outflows and the afterglow marks the interaction of that ejecta with the surrounding matter. A faster decay of afterglow light curves at late times is indicative of nonspherical geometries, and is usually interpreted as evidence for jet geometry. Recent numerical simulations have shown that ring-like geometries are also permissible for relativistic outflows. We therefore extend the standard theory of afterglow evolution to ring geometries. An analytic prescription for the light curves and spectra produced by relativistic toroidal blast waves is presented. We compare these to their spherical and jet-like counterparts, and show that ring afterglows decay faster than spherical outflows but not as fast as jets.

Affective learning outcomes are difficult to objectively analyse and assess as they refer to feelings and internal processes of the mind and heart. These cannot be quantified by traditional testing methods. The available methods rely on qualitative self-reflection and the observation of simple to complex internally consistent qualities of character. Just as in the other domains of learning, the validity and reliability of these assessments need to be ensured. The assessment of the affective domain requires careful observation of specified behaviours by multiple observers. Miller’s pyramid, Krathwohl’s levels and Epstein’s conceptual frameworks can be used to devise suitable assessment plans for the complex and varied competencies in this domain. Many techniques including paper-based tests, self-administered rating scale, faculty and peer assessment, simulations, reflections, portfolios, observed clinical encounters, collated views of co-workers, record of incidents of unprofessionalism, critical incident reports, patient surveys and global view of supervisor have been used for assessment of affective domain. The effective utilization of these assessment tools needs to factor in the ground realities that exist in different medical colleges. The acceptability and feasibility of using resource intensive assessment methods needs to be carefully balanced against their contributions towards increasing validity and reliability

Published: October 2023

Objective:
To investigate the effects of melatonin on renal inflammation, oxidative stress, apoptosis, as well as DNA and tissue damage in acrylamide-induced nephrotoxicity in rats.

Methods:
Fifty male rats were randomly divided into five groups. The control group received distilled water by gastric lavage for 11 days and the acrylamide group was administered acrylamide (50 mg/kg, i.g.) for 11 days. The MEL10+ACR and MEL20+ACR groups received intraperitoneal melatonin 10 and 20 mg/kg, respectively, for 11 days, and acrylamide (50 mg/kg, i.g.) was administered 1 h after melatonin injection. The MEL20 group was injected with melatonin (20 mg/kg) for 11 days. Kidney function tests were performed and biochemical and inflammatory parameters were determined. In addition, histopathological, immunohistochemical, and immunofluorescence examinationswerecarried out.

Results:
Melatonin significantly abated acrylamide-induced rise in serum urea and creatinine levels. Acrylamide caused oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis, as well as DNA and tissue damage in the kidneys. Melatonin treatment alleviated acrylamide-induced renal damage by exhibiting antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti- apoptotic effects. Moreover, melatonin significantly ameliorated acrylamide-caused histopathological changes in kidney tissue.

Conclusions:
Melatonin attenuates acrylamide-induced renal oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis, and DNA damage in rats.

Authors: Eldourghamy Ayman , Hossam Toka , Hussein Mohammed Abdalla , Abdel-Aziz Amal , El-masry Samir A. 
Published: October 2023

Objective:
To investigate the cardioprotective effect of naringenin against isoproterenol (ISO)-induced cardiotoxicity in rats.

Methods:
Rats were divided into five groups: the normal group, the ISO group (85 mg/kg b.w.); the ISO+naringenin (50 mg/kg b.w.) group, the ISO+naringenin (100 mg/kg b.w.) group and the ISO+propranolol (10 mg/kg b.w.) group. Plasma creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), cardiac troponin T, lactate dehydrogenase, brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), and IL-10, as well as cardiac transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were examined. In addition, NLRP3 and mRNA-208a expressions were evaluated by RT-PCR analysis. Histopathological examination was also performed to assess cardiac damages.

Results:
Naringenin treatment significantly decreased plasma lactate dehydrogenase, CK-MB, cardiac troponin T, BNP, and IL-10, as well as cardiac TGF-β1, VEGF, and MDA while increasing p-Akt and superoxide dismutase in ISO-administered rats. It also reduced NLRP3 and mRNA-208a gene expression levels. Furthermore, naringenin improved ISO-induced cardiac damage.

Conclusions:
Naringenin attenuates myocardial dysfunction in ISO-treated rats by decreasing oxidative stress and increasing cardiac endogenous antioxidant system, which may be modulated partly by improvement of NLRP3 and mRNA-208a gene expression.

Published: October 2023

Introduction:
Short-lasting unilateral neuralgiform headache attacks with conjunctival injection and tearing (SUNCT) and short-lasting unilateral neuralgiform headache attacks with cranial autonomic symptoms (SUNA) are rare primary headache disorders.

Aim:
The aim of the study is to describe and compare the clinical characteristics of patients with SUNA and SUNCT.

Methods:
Patients with SUNCT or SUNA observed in a neurology clinic of a tertiary hospital in India between January 2017 and December 2022 were evaluated.

Results:
Thirteen patients with SUNA (seven female, 54%) and 16 patients with SUNCT (nine female, 56%) were identified for the evaluation. The mean ages at the onset of SUNA and SUNCT were 36.8.5 ± 8.1 years and 37.2 ± 8.4 years, respectively. The age of onset in our patients was somewhat younger than that of other large series. The demographic and clinical features of SUNA patients were comparable to those of SUNCT patients. Orbital/retro-orbital area was the most common site of pain in both types of headaches. The pattern of pain was noted as single stab (in all patients), repetitive stabs (SUNA vs. SUNCT: 77% vs. 75%), and sawtooth patterns (SUNA vs. SUNCT: 23% vs. 25%). The majority of attacks in both groups lasted less than two minutes. Conjunctival injection and tearing were present in all SUNCT patients (as a part of the diagnostic criteria). The prevalence of conjunctival injection and tearing in SUNA was 46% and 31%, respectively. All patients reported spontaneous attacks. Triggers were reported in seven (54%) patients with SUNA and nine (56%) with SUNCT. Only one patient in each group had a refractory period following a trigger-induced episode. Two patients in the SUNCT group had compression of the trigeminal nerve by a vascular loop.

Conclusion:
This is the largest case series from India. There were no significant differences between patients with SUNA and SUNCT.

Abstract

Introduction:
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is the most common bariatric surgical procedure worldwide. Approximately 20%–30% of patients present with weight loss failure or reflux following SG, which might require reoperative surgery. We present the surgical outcomes and complications following reoperative bariatric surgery at a tertiary care centre.

Patients and Methods:
Prospectively collected data of all patients undergoing reoperative bariatric surgery from 2008 to 2021 were analysed retrospectively. Weight loss, resolution of comorbidities and complications following reoperative surgery were evaluated.

Results:
Twenty-six patients were included in the study. The mean age was 38.8 (10.8) years. The primary procedure performed was laparoscopic SG in all cases. Nine patients underwent Roux en Y gastric bypass (RYGB) (one banded RYGB) and 14 underwent one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) (three-banded OAGB). Three patients underwent resleeve. The most common indication was weight loss failure (65.3%). Fifteen patients were diagnosed to have hiatal hernia intraoperatively and concomitant repair was performed. The mean body mass index before revision surgery was 42.7 (9.8). It was 32.6 (5.7) kg/m2 and 33.0 (6.1) kg/m2 at 1 and 3 years, respectively. Age and pre-revision surgery excess weight correlated with weight loss (r = −0.79 and r = 0.99, respectively). Leak and bleeding occurred in one and two patients, respectively. There were two band-related complications and one 30-day mortality.

Conclusion:
Re-operative bariatric surgery following SG has adequate weight loss with acceptable complication rates. Band placement in re-operative surgery might lead to a higher complication rate.

Published: October 2023

Abstract

Background:
Stricture in patients with Crohn’s disease (CD) carries a high risk of CD-related surgery in the course of the disease. The aim of this study was to assess the rate of occurrence of CD-related surgery and to determine baseline risk factors predicting subsequent surgery in this patient group.

Methods:
Patients registered with stricturing CD were included. All baseline and follow-up data were collected retrospectively. Patients attended the clinic for follow-up at week 14 to assess their response to infliximab (IFX). CD-related surgery was the observational endpoint. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used.

Results:
A total of 123 patients with stricturing CD were included in this study. The cumulative risk of CD-related surgery for years 1–5 after diagnosis was 18.0%, 26.7%, 32.6%, 40.7%, and 46.4%, respectively. Prior gastrointestinal (GI) surgery, low body mass index (BMI), and high platelet count might be risk factors for future CD-related surgery. With 97 participants treated by IFX, prior GI surgery and primary non-response (PNR) to IFX correlated with future CD-related surgery.

Conclusion:
Prior GI surgery, BMI, and platelet counts were related to future CD-related surgery. Patients who were PNR to IFX had a higher risk of CD-related surgery in the future.

Functional Assessment of Handwriting Among Children: A Systematic Review of the Psychometric Properties
Authors: Vico Rocío , Martín Jaime , González Manuel 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Importance: Handwriting legibility and speed assessments have a critical role in identifying and evaluating handwriting problems, which are common among children.
Objective: The objective was to evaluate the psychometric properties and clinical utility of handwriting assessments for children ages 3 to 16 yr.
Data Sources: A systematic review was conducted in CINAHL, PubMed (MEDLINE), Scopus, and education databases, with no time limits. The search strategy included a combination of the following keywords: handwriting, write, children, assessment, and validity. The exclusion criteria were assessment tools that were electronic, that focused on cognitive components of handwriting, or that only evaluated alphabets other than Latin.
Study Selection and Data Collection: The systematic review was carried out on the basis of the COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) checklist and Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) recommendations. The protocol was registered in the Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO).
Findings: The 14 included instruments had a total sample of 4,987 children. Internal consistency ranged from moderate (.73; Writing Readiness Inventory Tool in Context) to high (.98; Letter Writing). The interexaminer reliability values of the 11 direct assessment instruments ranged from .77 (Systematic Screening for Handwriting Difficulties) to 1.00 (Handwriting Speed Test).
Conclusions and Relevance: In this systematic review, existing tools were evaluated by clinical utility and the quality of psychometric properties. Direct assessments showed good psychometric properties. Indirect and self-assessment tools demonstrated poor psychometric properties. Further research on screening tools and tools in other languages is needed.
What This Article Adds: Specific learning disorders (e.g., dysgraphia) negatively affect academic learning and, when prolonged in time, self-concept. However, handwriting legibility and speed assessments could be used to identify and evaluate these learning disorders if an early referral to occupational therapy is carried out.
