Objectives
Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) has become extensively practiced and has shown encouraging benefits. Within recent years, ERAS has also been increasingly performed in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) patients undergoing endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). However, the actual efficacy of ERAS in CRS patients undergoing ESS is not completely clear, and the related evidence remains weak. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of ERAS in the perioperative management of CRS patients receiving ESS.

Methods
We searched randomized controlled trials in PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, Cochrane CENTRAL, Ovid, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chinese BioMedical Literature Database, Wanfang, and VIP Database up to February 2023, to analyze the effectiveness and safety of ERAS in ESS perioperative management of CRS patients. We appraised the methodological quality in the included RCTs using the Cochrane Collaboration tool and assessed the quality of evidence with the Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) tool. Meta-analysis, subgroup analysis, and sensitivity analysis were carried out with the the software Review Manager 5.3 and Stata 12.0. In addition, potential publication bias was detected by Begg’s test, Egger’s test, and funnel plot test.

Results
Twenty-eight studies involving 2636 patients were included within this study. In comparison with the standard care (SC) group, the ERAS group had the advantages in the following aspects: length of stay (MD = -2.50, 95%CI: -3.04 to -1.97), pain scores (MD = -1.07, 95%CI: -1.46 to -0.67), anxiety score (SMD = -2.13, 95%CI: -2.83 to -1.44), depression score (SMD = -2.42, 95%CI: -3.13 to -1.71), hospitalization expenses, and quality of life. At the same time, the ERAS group presented a markedly lower incidence of adverse events in comparison to the SC group, such as overall complications (RR = 0.28, 95%CI:0.20 to 0.41), postoperative nausea and vomiting (RR = 0.33, 95%CI:0.21 to 0.50), facial edema (RR = 0.20, 95%CI:0.11 to 0.38), low back pain (RR = 0.28, 95%CI:0.16 to 0.49), urinary retention (RR = 0.12, 95%CI:0.05 to 0.30) and haemorrhage (RR = 0.19, 95%CI:0.07 to 0.55).

Conclusions
The results showed that the ERAS protocol is effective and safe in CRS patients who undergo ESS. However, Due to the limited overall methodological quality included studies, caution should be exercised in the interpretation of the results. More high-quality, multiple-centre, and large-sample studies are in demand in the future to further validate its clinical efficacy.
Object Artifacts, Image Artifacts and Conceptual Artifacts: Beyond the Object Into the Event
Authors: Smith Owen F. 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
When asked to respond to the question “what is an artifact?” I initially had several divergent responses. Because of my varied background and current position, I responded to thisquestion in three related but different ways: as an anthropologist (the area of my initial graduate training), as an art historian (the area of my Ph.D.), and as a professor of new media (my current position).
Friendly Alien: Object and Interface
Authors: Manovich Lev 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Since 1996, artist Miltos Manetas has done paintings that systematically portray the new essential objects of contemporary life: joysticks, computers, computer game consoles, and computer cables (lots of them). Manetas also paints people who are usually intensely engaged in the activities made possible by consumer electronics devices, such as playing a computer game. But he never shows what games they are playing or what images they are looking at. Instead, he focuses on the humancomputer interface: hands clutching a joystick, a body stretched across the floor in the intense concentration or, alternatively, relaxing besides a laptop, a computer console, or a TV.

INTRODUCTION:
Anorectal function testing is traditionally relegated to subspecialty centers. Yet, it is an office-based procedure that appears capable of triaging care for the many patients with Rome IV functional constipation that fail empiric over-the-counter therapy in general gastroenterology, as an alternative to empirical prescription drugs. We aimed to evaluate cost-effectiveness of routine anorectal function testing in this specific population.

METHODS:
We performed a cost-effectiveness analysis from the patient perspective and a cost-minimization analysis from the insurer perspective to compare 3 strategies: (i) empiric prescription drugs followed by pelvic floor physical therapy (PFPT) for drug failure, (ii) empiric PFPT followed by prescription drugs for PFPT failure, or (iii) care directed by up-front anorectal function testing. Model inputs were derived from systematic reviews of prospective clinical trials, national cost data sets, and observational cohort studies of the impact of chronic constipation on health outcomes, healthcare costs, and work productivity.

RESULTS:
The most cost-effective strategy was upfront anorectal function testing to triage patients to appropriate therapy, in which the subset of patients without anal hypocontractility on anorectal manometry and with a balloon expulsion time of at least 6.5 seconds would be referred to PFPT. In sensitivity analysis, empiric PFPT was more cost effective than empiric prescription drugs except for situations in which the primary goal of treatment was to increase bowel movement frequency. If adopted, gastroenterologists would refer ∼17 patients per year to PFPT, supporting feasibility.

DISCUSSION:
Anorectal function testing seems to be an emergent technology to optimize cost-effective outcomes, overcoming testing costs by phenotyping care.

Effects of eccentric contraction on force enhancement in rat fast‐twitch muscle
Authors: Shi Jiayu , Wada Masanobu 
Published: September 2023

AbstractThe aim of this study was to elucidate the effects of eccentric contraction (ECC) on force enhancement in rat fast‐twitch skeletal muscle. Gastrocnemius (GAS) muscles were subjected to 200 ECCs in situ by electrical stimulation. Immediately before and after the stimulation, isometric torque produced by ankle flexion was measured at an ankle angle of 90°. After the second torque measurement, the superficial regions of the muscles were dissected and subjected to biochemical and skinned fiber analysis. ECC did not induce changes in the amount of degraded titin. After ECC, isometric torques in the GAS muscles were markedly reduced, especially at low stimulation frequency. ECC increased passive torque in whole muscle and passive force in skinned fibers. Passive force enhancement and the ratio of passive force to the maximal Ca2+‐activated force, but not residual force enhancement, were augmented in the skinned fibers subjected to ECC. An ECC‐induced increase in titin‐based stiffness may contribute to the increased PFE. These results suggest that skeletal muscle is endowed with a force potentiation system that can attenuate ECC‐induced force reductions.

Abstract
This study was designed as proof of principle and safety test of the novel technique, the Immediate Stabilization System (ISS). The technique is designed to immediately stabilize polymer-augmented pedicle screws (PAS) in deficient bone and avoid complications of loosening pedicle screws at the bone-screw interface, especially in osteoporotic patients. A polymer sleeve was designed as augmentation to improve screw anchorage after drilling the screw hole. By applying ultrasonic energy, the polymeric tube was molded into the pores of the host bone forming a strong and uniform bond with the adjacent bone. The original screw was then implanted into the denser bony environment leading to an enhanced immediate stability. The ISS-treated implants were compared to conventionally placed pedicle screws in ex-vivo cadaver bones (2 sheep spines, n = 6 implants per spine, total 12 screws) and in-vivo in a spinal sheep model (Swiss alpine sheep, n = 5, 4 implants per animal, total 20 screws). The primary stability of ISS-treated pedicle screws was increased in ex-vivo bone (+24% insertion torque (IT)) and in-vivo (+32.9% IT) in sheep spine. Removal torque (RT) was lower in the in PAS tested for 8 weeks in-vivo. The ISS technology demonstrated improved anchorage of pedicle screws in ex-vivo cadaver bones as well as in-vivo studies in sheep spine.

Abstract
Digital health applications are digital medical products (e.g. apps, web applications) that are prescribed to insured persons by physicians or psychotherapists and reimbursed by health insurances. For manufacturers, fulfilling the regulatory requirements for approval of a digital health application is challenging. This can be seen in the number of pulled and rejected applications from manufacturers for listing in the register of digital health applications. As of May 2022, a total of 61 applications have been pulled back by manufacturers and 8 have received negative decisions from the German Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices. Manufacturers want support to fulfill the requirements for approval of a digital health application. Based on a literature review and a sighting of relevant regulations, a roadmap was developed to represent the approval process for a digital health application to manufacturers in a visual and simplified flowchart. The roadmap consists for example the submission of the application, the verification of the application and listing of the digital health application in the register. The roadmap simplifies the approval process of a digital health application, enables early identification of requirements, and helps determine the right strategy. A field trial is essential to confirm its effectiveness and improvements are needed based on feedback. The roadmap is being tested with startups and small businesses to evaluate its applicability in different contexts.

Abstract
The electrocardiogram is a very valuable clinical tool which allows to retrieve information about the presence and location of arrhythmic foci as well as ischemic and scar tissue and disorder’s of the dedicated cardiac conduction system. In the presented study timing parameters computed by a delineating beat detector for identifying the P-Wave, QRS - complex and T-Wave are used to classify the individual beats. From a set of total 419 feature generated from these parameters 64 are used to train LDA classifier for discriminating 3 classes (Normal, Artifact, Arrhythmic) and 5 Classes (Normal, Artifact, Atrial and ventricular premature contractions and bundle branch blocks). Further it is investigated how the imbalance between normal beats and arrhythmic beats as well as the beats missed by the beat detector affect the classification results. In the case of 5 classes accuracies of 97.52 % in the imbalanced case and 96.38 r for the balanced data were obtained. For 3 classes accuracies of 97.76 % and 95.18 % were achieved. Considering in addition the beats missed by the detector the accuracies dropped to 96.68 %, and 95.54 % for 5 classes and 95.54 % and 96.92 % for 3 classes. These values are within the ranges for linear classifier reported in literature. This is quite promising for implementing a real-time classifier which exploits the parameters and values computed by the beat detector.

Published: September 2023

Abstract
The consumption of fruits and vegetables has been considered very important for human health. This research aimed to study consumption habits of fruits and vegetables from organic farming (OFV) within a convenience sample of Portuguese adults, including reasons for consumption, most valued mode of production sources, frequency of use, knowledge about characteristics and benefits, and information sources. An online questionnaire containing 30 questions was originally developed and shared on social networks and 300 questionnaires were obtained. The organic vegetables identified as the most consumed were lettuce (93.5%), potato (92%), and tomato (92%); the most consumed organic fruits were orange (83%), lemon (82%), and strawberry (82%). The strongest motivations to consume OFV include environmental benefits (57%) and health benefits (94%), namely the prevention of high total cholesterol (71%), the prevention of cardiovascular diseases (69%), and obesity prevention (68%). Regarding the level of information about the nutritional and chemical properties of OFV, 86% of the respondents consider themselves informed people. Meanwhile, there still are 33% of the respondents revealing no concern about the farming practices. As so, there is an opportunity to increase literacy about these products, to raise awareness about the benefits of organic products, and to promote higher consumption of OFV products, supported in the arguments of perceived positive impact of organic agriculture on ecosystems and human health.
The soliton solutions for stochastic Calogero–Bogoyavlenskii Schiff equation in plasma physics/fluid mechanics
Authors: Al-Askar Farah M. 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
The generalized (2+1)-dimensional stochastic Calogero–Bogoyavlenskii Schiff equation (SCBSE) driven by a multiplicative Brownian motion is taken into consideration. The Riccati equation mapping and He’s semi-inverse methods are utilized to obtain the rational function, hyperbolic function, and trigonometric function for SCBSE. We expand some solution from previous studies. The acquired solutions of SCBSE may explain many exciting physical phenomena because it is widely used in plasma physics and fluid dynamics. Also, it explains the relationship between the Riemann y-axis propagating wave and the long x-axis propagating wave. Using a variety of 2D and 3D graphs, we illustrate how the Brownian motion influences the exact solutions of SCBSE.

Published: September 2023

Abstract
Research provides evidence on the benefits and safety of prenatal yoga as well as hot yoga among nonpregnant individuals. However, limited literature on hot yoga during pregnancy exists. The present study aims to (1) describe knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs of hot yoga studio management regarding hot yoga during pregnancy; and (2) examine how management teams rank the credibility of information sources (e.g., obstetricians) regarding the safety of hot yoga during pregnancy. Inclusion criteria included being at least 18 years of age and on the management team at a U.S. hot yoga studio. Studios were recruited via emails from publicly accessible websites of major hot yoga studio communities. Thirty-five participants completed a cross-sectional online survey addressing the study aims, and 10 (28.57%) participants reported trying hot yoga themselves while pregnant. Participants reported a median of 4 (interquartile range 1.5–8.5) pregnant individuals at their studio in the past year. All participants reported at least one hot yoga class type that they would recommend to pregnant individuals. Three qualitative themes emerged regarding deciding whether a pregnant individual may practice hot yoga: (1) integration of healthcare and individual knowledge, (2) emphasis on prior practice, and (3) individual bodily intuition and choice. Obstetricians were ranked the highest for credibility, although inferential tests suggested that their rankings were equivalent to those for academic journals, one’s own knowledge/experiences, and a friend/acquaintance who had practiced hot yoga during pregnancy. These findings suggest recommendations for future yoga teacher trainings to include specific needs and considerations for pregnant individuals who choose to practice hot yoga.

The animal material of this study consisted of 6000 goats and 300 goats, which were supported within the scope of the "Animal Breeding in the Hands of the Public National Project" in the province of Diyarbakir of Turkey. Within the scope of the project in which the research was included, the animals were identified and their records were kept. The records of goats in 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 formed the data of this research. The weights of birth, 30th day, 60th day, 90th day were determined in goats born in the specified years. Live weight of hair goat kids at various periods (birth, 30th, 60th, 90th) and daily body weight gains up to 90th day (birth-30, 30-60, 90th days). Statistical analysis of the data was made in the SPSS package program.
In the study, birth weight of Hair goat kids was 2.84±0.010; Body weight at day 30 was 6.97±0.028; Body weight at day 60 was determined as 11.06±0.065 and body weight at 90th day was determined as 14.49±0.058. In addition, daily live weight gains on the 30th day of birth in Hair goat kids was 136.84±0.884; body weight gain at birth-60th day 136.41±1.083; daily body weight gain at birth-90th day was determined as 129.08±0.640. When the effect of environmental factors examined in the study was evaluated, the effect of gender on live weights of all ages was found to be statistically significant. However, in the study, it was determined that the type of birth and the effect of birth month showed a difference only between birth and 30th day age. As a result, in the current thesis study, it was found that the findings obtained in terms of growth and development characteristics in Hair goat kids were compatible with the findings of other studies on the subject.
Influence of a transversal load on the stability of a rod compressed by a longitudinal force
Authors: Tarasov V. 
Published: September 2023

The work is devoted to the study of the effect of normal load
on the stability of a rod compressed by a longitudinal force.
Two types of boundary conditions are considered: the boundary
conditions of rigid sealing and the conditions of hinge support.
It is noted that in the case of the boundary conditions of
the hinge bearing, the shape of the elastic line of the rod qualitatively
depends on the magnitude of the longitudinal force.
Fermion with three mass parameters in the uniform magnetic field

Published: September 2023

Recently, models for a spin 1/2 particle with two (or three)
mass parameters were developed. Specific features of
these models are as follows. For corresponding two (or
three) bispinors in absence of external fields, separate Diraclike
equations are derived, they differ in masses. However,
in presence of external electromagnetic or gravitational
fields with non-vanishing Ricci scalar, the wave equation for
bispinors does not split into separated equations but makes
quite a definite mixing of two (or three) equations arises. In
the present paper, the model of a fermion with three mass parameters
is studied in presence of the external uniform magnetics
field. After performing a diagonalizing transformation,
three separate equations are obtained for particles with different
anomalous magnetic moments. Their exact solutions
and generalized energy spectra are found
