Relevance. Currently there are various methods of organ-preserving treatment of retinoblastoma (RB), but nevertheless, eyeball enucleation remains one of the main methods of its treating. After removal of the eyeball, children face cosmetic problems such as anophthalmic syndrome, lag in the growth of orbital bones, as well as psychosocial problems. After the introduction of magnetic resonance imaging into a wide medical practice, children with RB began to undergo primary endoprosthesis of the orbit using porous polytetrafluoroethylene implants or non-porous silicone implants, which proved to be an effective method of cosmetic rehabilitation.The purpose of the study – to present our own experience in the use of primary orbital endoprosthesis in children with RB with the use of a silicone implant.Materials and methods. The study included 29 children (29 eyes) who underwent primary endoprosthesis of the orbit after enucleation for RB using a silicone implant (Plastis-M) wrapped in a dacron mesh. Written consent was received from all patients for the processing of personal data, diagnostic examination and treatment. The median age of patients at the time of enucleation was 32.7 (2–93) months. Silicone implants with a diameter of 16 mm (n = 4, 13.8 %), 17 mm (n = 13, 44.8 %) and 18 mm (n = 12, 41.4 %) were used. In most cases (n = 19, 65.5 %) enucleation was performed due to the inability to use organ–preserving treatment, due to the widespread intraocular tumor process, in 7 (24.1 %) cases enucleation was performed due to tumor progression against the background of ongoing treatment, and in 3 (10.3 %) – due to complications that occurred after treatment, namely subatrophy of the eyeball.Results. A satisfactory cosmetic result and a symmetrical look were achieved in all cases. The difference in the endurance of the prosthetic and paired eyes according to exophthalmometry was up to 2 mm. The thickness of the well-developed musculoskeletal stump was 1.5 (0.84–2.74) mm.Conclusions. A silicone implant wrapped in a dacron mesh endoprosthesis provides a stable and cosmetically satisfactory condition of the musculoskeletal stump in children with RB. Replacement of a silicone implant for cosmetic purposes is possible in children who are under regular dynamic control with complete remission of the tumor.

Relevance. Malignant tumors among the children’s population is a relatively rare phenomenon. In the USSR, the form of state reporting for the analysis of morbidity provided for the collection of data in the first age group totaling from 0 to 29 years. Indeed, in this age group, malignant tumors are rare 10–15 cases per 100,000 children. Then, after the 35-year-old group, the risk of cancer increases by 10 % every year, and a five-year period gives an increase in the incidence rate by 50–70 %. The probability of malignant tumors in younger age groups differs hundreds of times from those who have reached the age of 70. In accordance with World Health Organization – IARC recommendations, the data in IARC monographs are summarized for 5-year-old age groups 0–4, 5–9, 10–14, 15–19, etc. The last open interval is 85+.Prepared by the staff of the Laboratory of Oncological Statistics and the Children’s Department of the N.N. Petrov National Medical Research Center of Oncology together with Novel LLC, the completed topic of scientific development of the population children’s cancer registry at the federal district level, transmitted and accepted by the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, turned out to be unclaimed.In February 2019, we formed a unified database of the Northwestern Federal District with a volume of more than 1 million 350 thousand observations, which made it possible to carry out a more detailed development of data on rare localizations: cancer of the heart, eye, thymus, including rare tumors that occur among children population (0–14 years old) and adolescents (15–17 years old). The purpose of the study is to study the patterns of dynamics of morbidity, mortality, the reliability of accounting for sick children (0–14 years old) at the population level, to calculate the survival rates of patients with all tumor localizations, taking into account gender, age, stage of the disease, histological forms and other parameters included in the registration form card (in accordance with the international standard of the Eurocare program). Results. From 2000 to 2018, 4970 children (0–14 years old) with malignant tumors were registered in the Northwestern Federal District of the Russian Federation, of which 3011 are subject to the staging of the tumor process. It is important to note that among all children of patients with malignant tumors, the five-year survival rate of stageable and non-stageable patients was close to 80 %. There is a high level of staging of patients of this group. Thus, patients with stage I of the disease had a five-year survival rate (2010–2014) – 96.3 %, with II – 91.0 % and only with stage IV – 50.9 %.Conclusions. The creation of a children’s population cancer registry at the federal district level could significantly raise the level of primary registration of malignant tumors, eliminate losses and be able to calculate analytical indicators for rare childhood localization of malignant tumors.

Introduction. Percutaneous nephrolitholapaxy (PNL) is the optimal method in the treatment of large or complex renal stones. Surgical equipment and endoscopic equipment, and specialised tools have been constantly developing since the advent of PNL in 1976, increasing success rates with a decrease in the number of complications and morbidity. Owing to the specificity and complexity of the technique, only 11% of urologists in the USA perform PNL, while in Russian Federation no more than 5% of specialists realise it.Objective. To evaluate the possibilities of using a robot-angiograph to create a puncture access.Materials & methods. In the Krasnoyarsk Regional Clinical Hospital in 2021, the first PNL was performed in a patient with a left-sided lower calyx stone using the SIEMENS Healthineers’ ARTIS pheno robotic angiograph in a hybrid operating room. This robotic installation allows the performing of an intraoperative computed tomography examination followed by the construction of a navigation map with a clearly displayed trajectory, length, and angle of inclination of the needle path with automatic positioning of the C-arm.Results. We performed 30 pyelocaliceal punctures using a robotic angiographic installation for PNL. The average age of patients was 56.6 ± 19.0 years. According to MSCT, the lower calyx stone was detected in seven patients, the middle calyx — 13 cases, the upper calyx — seven patients, pelvic stones were recorded in three patients. The density of stones varied from 877 HU to 1356 HU. The use of the ARTIS pheno robotic system allows performing intraoperative 3D modelling to determine the safest pyelocaliceal puncture, followed by PNL, regardless of the stone localisation, the complexity of the anatomy. In addition, a CT-like scans allows you to assess the presence of residual stones during the operation and perform a "second look" not in a delayed manner. This system, unlike all existing types of navigation, allows intraoperative evaluation of the effectiveness (stone-free rate) of surgical treatment.Conclusion. The introduction of this navigation system in PNL will minimise the risks of complications from puncture access, reduce the number of repeated interventions, and minimise undesirable consequences in the postoperative period.

Abstract

Background
Postoperative dental pain is pervasive and can affect a patient’s quality of life. Adopting a patient-centric approach to pain management involves having contemporaneous information about the patient’s experience of pain and using it to personalize care.

Objective
In this study, we evaluated the use of a mobile health (mHealth) platform to collect pain-related patient-reported outcomes over 7 days after the patients underwent pain-inducing dental procedures; we then relayed the information to the dentist and determined its impact on the patient’s pain experience.

Methods
The study used a cluster-randomized experimental study design with an intervention arm where patients were prompted to complete a series of questions relating to their pain experience after receiving automated text notifications on their smartphone on days 1, 3, 5, and 7, with the resulting information fed back to dentists, and a control arm where patients received usual care. Providers were randomized, and patients subsequently assumed the enrollment status of their providers. Providers or their staff identified eligible patients and invited them to participate in the study. Provider interviews and surveys were conducted to evaluate acceptance of the mHealth platform.

Results
A total of 42 providers and 1525 patients participated. For the primary outcome (pain intensity on a 1 to 10 scale, with 10 being the most painful), intervention group patients reported an average pain intensity of 4.8 (SD 2.6), while those in the control group reported an average pain intensity of 4.7 (SD 2.8). These differences were not significant. There were also no significant differences in secondary outcomes, including pain interference with activity or sleep, patient satisfaction with pain management, or opioid prescribing. Patient surveys revealed reluctance to use the app was mostly due to technological challenges, data privacy concerns, and a preference for phone calls over texting. Providers had high satisfaction with the app and suggested integrating additional features, such as an in-system camera for patients to upload pictures and videos of the procedural site, and integration with the electronic health record system.

Conclusions
While the mHealth platform did not have a significant impact on acute postoperative pain experience, patients and providers indicated improvement in patient-provider communication, patient-provider relationship, postoperative complication management, and ability to manage pain medication prescribing. Expanded collaboration between mHealth developers and frontline health care providers can facilitate the applicability of these platforms, further help improve its integration with the normal clinic workflow, and assist in moving toward a more patient-centric approach to pain management.

Published: July 2023

Sri Lanka's organic food market is still relatively small and is seen to be a niche one. Regardless of the importance of popularizing organic branded products among consumers through impulsive buying, a few have discussed this matter yet in the existing literature. In fact, the consumer behavior in the Asian market has been widely ignored. Therefore, the primary goal of this research study was to discover the factors influencing the impulsive buying behavior of organic branded food products among consumers in Sri Lanka. Based on prior studies, Web site stimulus, marketing stimulus, Product variety, impulsive traits and perceived enjoyment were considered as the dimensions in independent variable. The study used three hundred eighty-four (n=384) consumers for this study using convenience sampling technique. Pearson correlation and multiple regression analysis were used to test the hypothesis using SPSS software. Ideally, this study proved that website stimulus, marketing stimulus and impulsive traits have a positive impact on impulsive buying behavior of organic branded products. More interestingly, Product variety had a negative impact on impulsive buying behavior of organic brands whereas perceived enjoyment did not have a significant impact on impulsive buying behavior. Thus, the results of this research have given businesses some insight into the issues they are generally having, with convincing customers to buy organic brands.

BACKGROUND: In relation to the different and important roles of the beta2 integrins, we have revisited the expression of polymorphonuclear leukocyte CD18 in several clinical disorders, at baseline and after in vitro activation. SUBJECTS: we have examined subjects with type 1 diabetes mellitus, vascular atherosclerotic disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus without and with macrovascular complications, chronic renal failure on conservative treatment, essential hypertension, deep venous thrombosis, acute ischemic stroke and subjects with venous leg ulcers. METHODS: unfractioned leukocyte suspension was prepared according to the Mikita’s method, while the leukocyte were separated into mononuclear and polymorphonuclear cells with a Ficoll-Hypaque medium. Using specific monoclonal antibody, the CD18 expression was evaluated with cytofluorimetric analysis, using FACScan (Becton Dickinson) be Cellquest software; the activation in vitro with PMA was effected according to modified Yasui and Masuda methods. RESULTS: in type 1 diabetes mellitus, at baseline CD18 is under expressed in comparison with normal control, and not changes after PMA activation were observed; in subjects with vascular atherosclerotic disease, in type 2 diabetes mellitus CD18 is over expressed at baseline but does not vary after activation; in subjects with chronic renal failure, essential hypertension and in subjects with acute ischemic stroke the CD18 up-regulate at baseline compared to normal control, and it increases further after activation; in subjects with deep venous thrombosis the CD18 expression is not different from control group at baseline, but it increases after activation; finally, in subjects with venous leg ulcers the CD18 is normally expressed at baseline, and it does not change after PMA activation. CONCLUSIONS: in the different clinical disorders, the trend of this integrin subunit provides some specific information, useful to select the best therapeutic strategy in clinical practice.
Food writings in a postmodern society: a discourse analysis of influencer and celebrity chef cookbooks in Belgium
Authors: Proesmans Viktor L. J. , Vermeir Iris , Teughels Nelleke , Geuens Maggie 
Published: July 2023

IntroductionThe landscape of food writings has undergone a significant transformation, shifting from traditional informational cookbooks to hybrid edutaining cookbooks authored by celebrity chefs and influencers. To gain a better understanding of this evolution, we conducted a discourse analysis to examine the proclamations made by cookbooks authored by celebrity chefs and influencers and their alignment with our society.MethodsWe conducted a critical discourse analysis on 18 best-selling cookbooks published in Flanders (Belgium) between 2008 and 2018. Applying Fairclough's three-dimensional framework, we conducted text, process, and social analyses to delve into the content and context of the cookbooks.ResultsOur analysis reveals that modern cookbooks not only provide information but also aim to inspire and entertain readers. They adopt a personal discourse that emphasizes shared values and authenticity. Celebrity chefs focus on traditional aspects, such as family, tradition, and the joy of cooking, while influencers offer lifestyle advice centered on postmodern values, including moral choice, achievement, fulfillment, and personal responsibility. Additionally, influencers take an anti-establishment stance by criticizing “conventional science” and processed food, reflecting the growing societal distrust toward food science and the food industry.DiscussionThe shift from traditional informational cookbooks to hybrid edutaining cookbooks authored by media icons such as celebrity chefs and influencers is apparent based on our analysis. These contemporary cookbooks not only provide recipes but also serve as outlets for inspiration and entertainment. Furthermore, the discourse found in modern cookbooks reflects the prevailing societal trends of our postmodern and individualistic era.

BackgroundThe correlation between potential risk factors such as obesity (leg fat percentage (left), arm fat percentage (left), waist circumference, body fat percentage, trunk fat percentage), smoking behaviors (past tobacco smoking, smoking initiation, smoking/smokers in household, current tobacco smoking) and reproductive traits (age first had sexual intercourse (AFS), age at menarche (AAM), and age at first birth (AFB)) have been linked to the occurrence of spontaneous abortion (SA). However, the causal associations between these factors and SA remain unclear.MethodsWe conducted univariable and multivariable Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses to evaluate the associations of obesity, smoking behavior and reproductive traits with SA. To select appropriate genetic instruments, we considered those that had reached the genome-wide significance level (P &lt; 5 × 10–8) in their corresponding genome-wide association studies (GWAS) involving a large number of individuals (ranging from 29,346 to 1,232,091). SA was obtained from the FinnGen consortium, which provided summary-level data for 15,073 SA cases and 135,962 non-cases.ResultsAssessed individually using MR, the odds ratios (ORs) of SA were 0.728 (P = 4.3608×10-8), 1.063 (P = 0.0321), 0.926 (P = 9.4205×10-4), 1.141 (P = 7.9882×10-3), 5.154 (P = 0.0420), 1.220 (P = 0.0350), 1.228 (P = 0.0117), 0.795 (P = 0.0056), 1.126 (P = 0.0318), for one standard deviation (SD) increase in AFS, AAM, AFB, smoking initiation, smoking/smokers in household, arm fat percentage (left), leg fat percentage (left), waist circumference and body fat percentage, 0.925 (P = 0.4158) and 1.075 (P = 0.1479) for one SD increase in past tobacco smoking, trunk fat percentage for one SD increase in SA. In multivariable MR (MVMR), only AFS (OR = 0.802; P = 0.0250), smoking initiation (OR = 1.472, P = 0.0258), waist circumference (OR = 0.813, P = 0.0220) and leg fat percentage (left) (OR = 4.446, P = 0.043) retained a robust effect.ConclusionSmoking behaviors, reproductive traits and obesity-related anthropometric indicators are potential causal factors for SA. Higher leg fat percentage; smoking initiation; and lower waist circumference and AFS may increase the risk of SA. Understanding the causal relationship for SA may provide more information for SA intervention and prevention strategies.

IntroductionTaste and odor (T&amp;O) problems have been affecting drinking water safety. As a eutrophicated drinking water reservoir in Tianjin city, the Yuqiao Reservoir was threatened by 2-MIB and geosmin in recent years.MethodsIn this study, quantile regression analysis and metagenome were used to quickly and accurately screen the producers and drivers of 2-MIB and geosmin in this reservoir.ResultsThe mean concentrations of 2-MIB and geosmin in the four-year were 103.58 ± 128.13 ng/L and 14.29 ± 27.95 ng/L, respectively. 2-MIB concentrations were higher in summer and autumn, with a bimodal variation throughout the year. Geosmin concentrations showed a decreasing trend from year to year from 2018 to 2021. Metagenome revealed that Pseudanabaena sp. dqh15, Microcoleus pseudautumnalis Ak1609, Pseudanabaena limnetica, and Planktothricoides raciborskii were the 2-MIB-producers, while Streptosporangium caverna and Dolichospermum circinale were the geosmin-producers. Multivariate quantile regression analysis indicated Pseudanabaena sp. and CODMn were the best predictors of 2-MIB concentrations, temperature and CODMn were the most useful parameters for describing geosmin concentration change. 2-MIB concentrations increased with the increase of Pseudanabaena sp. cell density and CODMn. Geosmin concentrations were higher at harsh temperatures and increased with higher CODMn. CODMn was significantly and positively correlated with the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites synthesis and terpenoid backone biosynthesis pathway. Both quantile regression and metagenome results showed that CODMn was an important driver of odor compounds.DiscussionMetagenome achieved higher resolution of taxonomic annotation than amplicons to identify odor-producers, which helps us to understand the main taxa of odor-producing microorganisms in Chinese water bodies and the genetic basis of odor compounds in microorganisms. Understanding the sources and drivers of odor compounds was useful for improving taste and odor problem management. This is the first time that the main odor-producing microorganisms in water bodies have been resolved by microbial metagenomic functional gene prediction.
