ABSTRACT

Objective:
This study aimed to study the awareness and practice of patients with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) toward their disease in the Riyadh region, Saudi Arabia.

Material and Methods:
This is a descriptive cross-sectional community-based study, in the central region of the kingdom. The target population of this study was adult patients with H. pylori infection, and a sample of 808 Saudi and non-Saudi male and female individuals were randomly selected using an online questionnaire. A consent form was obtained from all participants. Ethical approval was obtained from the university ethics committee.

Results:
There were a total of 808 responses. Most participants were female (89.4%) (n = 722) and between the ages of 35 and 60 years (60.8%), and most participants had a bachelor’s degree (62.4%). 53.47% of the participants have good knowledge regarding their disease. Most of the participants knew it could cause gastric and duodenal ulcers (82.5%), but they did not know the infection might cause gastric cancer (48.6%).

Conclusion:
The study concluded that the majority of patients with H. pylori infection (53.47%) have good knowledge regarding their disease. Additionally, many participants were aware of the symptoms associated with H. pylori. Furthermore, many participants complained about their treatment.

ABSTRACT

Background:
This study aims to explore the connection between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD) through a case–control investigation. OSA is a sleep-related breathing disorder that affects breathing during sleep, whereas TMD involves pain and dysfunction in the jaw joint. Understanding any potential association between these two conditions could contribute to improved diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.

Materials and Methods:
A total of 50 participants were included in both the OSA group and the control group. Participants with diagnosed OSA constituted the OSA group, whereas individuals without OSA formed the control group. TMD symptoms were assessed using standardized diagnostic criteria. Statistical analysis was performed to compare the prevalence of TMD symptoms between the two groups.

Results:
In the OSA group, 36 out of 50 participants exhibited TMD symptoms, whereas in the control group, 18 out of 50 participants displayed such symptoms. The calculated P value was found to be 0.023, indicating a statistically significant association between OSA and TMD.

Conclusion:
The findings of this study suggest a notable association between OSA and TMD. Individuals with OSA are more likely to experience TMD symptoms compared to those without OSA. This underscores the importance of considering TMD symptoms in individuals with OSA and vice versa for a comprehensive approach to diagnosis and management.

ABSTRACT

Objective:
The present study aimed to conduct an assessment of parents’ knowledge, attitudes, and practices toward methamphetamine “shabu” abuse among youth and its risk factors

Materials and Methods:
The present cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on a sample of 1179 parents. Parents were assured that questionnaire content would stay classified and was given anonymously. It had 20 demographic, drug use, and addiction treatment questions. Statistical Package for Social Sciences v. 24 and Chi-Square test were used to examine the data after evaluating and coding it.

Results:
Out of a total of 1179 participants, only 11% had not heard about shabu, about 38% did not know the main symptoms of crystal addiction, and 46% did not know the long side effects of crystal addiction. The majority of participants mentioned that shabu is available in powder format (57%) or liquid (13%), while 27% did not know its form. Most of the participants (97%) think that the drug of shabu or crystal or ice is dangerous; about 60% of participants mentioned that there is an addict in the family

Conclusion:
Parents have good knowledge levels regarding different aspects of methamphetamine or shabu abuse, symptoms, and its risk factors. Further in-depth studies are needed at whole Saudi Arabia.
Trigonometric convexity of the multidimensional indicator
Authors: Mkrtchyan Aleksandr , Vagharshakyan Armen 
Published: January 2024

AbstractThe notion of indicator of an analytic function, that describes the function’s growth along rays, was introduced by Phragmen and Lindelöf. Trigonometric convexity is a defining property of the indicator. For multivariate cases, an analogous property of trigonometric convexity was not known so far. We prove the property of trigonometric convexity for the indicator of multivariate analytic functions, introduced by Ivanov. The results that we obtain are sharp. Derivation of a multidimensional analogue of the inverse Fourier transform in a sector and obtaining estimates on its decay is an important step of our proof.
Interpolation, box splines, and lattice points in zonotopes
Authors: Lenz Matthias 
Published: January 2024

Given a finite list of vectors $X \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$, one can define the box spline $B_X$. Box splines are piecewise polynomial functions that are used in approximation theory. They are also interesting from a combinatorial point of view and many of their properties solely depend on the structure of the matroid defined by the list $X$. The support of the box spline is the zonotope $Z(X)$. We show that if the list $X$ is totally unimodular, any real-valued function defined on the set of lattice points in the interior of $Z(X)$ can be extended to a function on $Z(X)$ of the form $p(D)B_X$ in a unique way, where $p(D)$ is a differential operator that is contained in the so-called internal $\mathcal{P}$-space. This was conjectured by Olga Holtz and Amos Ron. We also point out connections between this interpolation problem and matroid theory, including a deletion-contraction decomposition.
Etant donné une liste finie de vecteurs $X \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$, on peut définir la box spline $B_X$. Les box splines sont des fonctions continues par morceaux qui sont utilisées en théorie de l’approximation. Elles sont aussi intéressantes d’un point de vue combinatoire et beaucoup de leurs propriétés dépendent uniquement de la structure du matroïde défini par la liste $X$. Le support de la box spline est le zonotope $Z(X)$. Si la liste $X$ est totalement unimodulaire, nous démontrons que toute fonction à valeurs réelles définie sur l’ensemble des points du réseau à l’intérieur de $Z(X)$ peut être étendue à une fonction sur $Z(X)$ de la forme $p(D)B_X$ de manière unique, où $p(D)$ est un opérateur différentiel qui est contenu dans l’espace appelé $\mathcal{P}$-interne. Cela a été conjecturé par Olga Holtz et Amos Ron. Nous indiquons aussi des relations entre ce problème d’interpolation et la théorie des matroïdes, en plus d’une décomposition suppressions-contractions.

Harmony of Eschatological Meanings: Between Christian Concept and Manggarai Culture in Indonesia
Authors: Denar Benediktus , Tolo Paulus , Julivadistanto Thomas 
Published: January 2024

The Catholic Church is over 100 years old in Manggarai, Flores, Indonesia. The teachings of the Catholic Church are readily accepted by local people, partly because the beliefs of the local people of Manggarai are compatible with the instructions brought by the Catholic Church. This is especially evident, for instance, in the understanding, belief and appreciation of the local community regarding eschatology. Employing an ethnographic-theological study, this article reflects a contextual approach to theology. The method used is an ethnographic-theological study. The data was obtained by direct observation, interviewing traditional Manggarai leaders who are Catholics, and studying some documents related to this article's subject. This study addresses the following question: how does the vision of the Manggaraian people's future help the inculturation of Catholic eschatology? According to the research question, this article explores the basis of hope for the end of the Manggaraian people and simultaneously compares it with the existing Christian eschatology. This study shows a harmony between the eschatological meaning of the Manggaraian local beliefs and that of the Catholic Church. This harmony facilitates the inculturation of Catholic eschatological beliefs into the local culture of the Manggaraian community.

Evaluation of the differences in sexual functions of women who underwent transobturatuar tape surgery
Authors: ÜNAL Ömer 
Published: January 2024

Aims: The study aims to determine the changes in sexual function and life of patients with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and mixed type urinary incontinence (MUI) with transobturator tape (TOT) operation.
Methods: 232 urinary incontinence patients who had only TOT surgery between the dates of May 2022- May 2023 were included in the study. Participants were similar in terms of demographic parameters. Participants completed several questionnaires, such as the Incontinence Impact Questionnaire (IIQ-7), Urogenital Distress Inventory (UDI-6), Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), and the Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire (PISQ-12), both before surgery and six months post-operative.
Results: While IIQ-7 and UDI-6 values, which measure the adverse effects of urinary incontinence, were 13.06±3.74, 7.03±2.61 preoperatively, they were 2.14±2.12 and 2.92±1.77 postoperatively. The FSFI values for evaluating female sexual function were 22.58±1.91 preoperatively and 26.62±1.80 postoperatively, respectively. The total value of the PISQ-12 questionnaire, which also evaluated sexual function, was 39.77±14.19 preoperatively and 46.61±0.97 postoperatively. There was a significant difference between the results of the surveys conducted before and after the operation.(p values: 0.0001, 0.0001, 0.0001, and 0.0001, respectively).
Conclusion: Having a TOT operation affects the sexual function and life of patients suffering from SUI positively.
Evaluation of single center clinical experience in patients undergoing modified Limberg flap technique in pilonidal sinus disease
Authors: UÇANER Burak , ÇİMEN Şebnem , BULDANLI Mehmet Zeki 
Published: January 2024

Aims: Pilonidal sinus disease (PSD) is a chronic inflammatory disease that is seen especially in young men, is often located in the sacrococcygeal region and negatively affects the quality of life and daily life of the person. In this study, we aimed to share our experience with the literature by examining our clinical approach and results in the patient group who underwent Modified Limberg flap technique electively in PSD.
Methods: Patients who underwent elective modified Limberg flap application due to PSD in the general surgery clinic were included in the study. Demographic and clinical parameters of the patients were investigated retrospectively.
Results: The mean age of 76 patients included in the study was 27.5±8.5 years (18-51 years). The median duration of hospitalisation was 2 days. The most commonly preferred prophylactic antibiotic at surgery was cefuroxime + metranidazole combination (60.5%) or cefuroxime alone (32.9%). Drain use was present in approximately 40% of the cases. Subcutaneous tissues were closed with a single layer of polyglactin suture in most cases (94.7%). During the median follow-up period of 12 months, postoperative recurrence was observed in only 6 cases (7.9%).
Conclusions: Modified Limberg flap technique is a well-defined, safe and feasible surgical method. Since it is an effective off-midline technique, its application by experienced surgeons in complicated and recurrent cases in elective PSD surgery and its transfer to junior and resident surgeons will be effective in terms of moving away from midline techniques.

The existence of different cultures gives birth to different architectural styles. When two or more cultures meet, cultural acculturation occurs in the architecture of the building, or in several architectural elements, or in the entire building. Acculturation is a social process that arises when a group of people from a culture combines elements of a foreign culture, so that they can be accepted and processed into their own culture without causing a loss of their original cultural personality.One area in Indonesia that can be said to have a long history and culture is the city of Palembang. Palembang was famous from the time of the Sriwijaya Kingdom to the Palembang Darussalam Sultanate and was synonymous with a business economy that used sea routes. It is not surprising that the creation of cultural acculturation is a natural thing.Examples of the historical heritage of the city of Palembang which experienced acculturation or architectural mixing can be seen from houses of worship and residential buildings, namely the Palembang Grand Mosque (Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin Jayo Wikramo Grand Mosque), the Cheng Ho Mosque (Al Islam Muhammad Cheng Hoo Mosque Sriwijaya Palembang), and the House Limas (traditional house of South Sumatra). The method used in this research is a qualitative method with a descriptive approach using library research.
