Published: September 2023

Amaç: Bu çalışma beslenme durumunun akne vulgaris ile ilişkisini değerlendirmek amacıyla planlanmış ve yürütülmüştür.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya polikliniğe başvuran ve dahil olma kriterlerini karşılayan 34 aknesi olan kadın ile araştırmacı tarafından kişisel ve sosyal ağlar kullanılarak seçilen 34 aknesi olmayan kadın gönüllü dahil edilmiştir. Akne vulgaris şiddeti uzman dermatolog tarafından tanı konulmuştur. Veriler sorumlu diyetisyen tarafından yüz-yüze görüşme yöntemiyle toplanmış, kadınların antropometrik ölçümleri yapılmış, bazı beslenme alışkanlıkları sorgulanmış, üç günlük besin tüketim kaydı alınmıştır.
Bulgular: Akne vulgarisi olmayan kadınların sırasıyla beden kütle indeksi, vücut yağ yüzdesi 21,13±2,39 kg/m2, %22,44±6,16 iken olanların ise sırasıyla 21,92±2,49 kg/m2, %24,36±5,13 olduğu saptanmıştır. Akne vulgarisi olmayan kadınların %8,8’i, olanların %17,6’sı hiç ara öğün tüketmemektedir. Çalışmaya katılan kadınların günlük enerji alım ortalamaları aknesi olmayanlarda olanlara göre daha düşük (sırasıyla 1260,04±371,83 kkal, 1586,04±416,14 kkal) bulunmuştur (p

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, 0-6 aylık bebeği olan annelerin bebek beslenmesi tutumlarının değerlendirilmesi ve bu tutum ile ilişkili faktörlerin belirlenmesidir.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya 18 yaş ve üstü, 0-6 aylık bebeği olan anneler dâhil edilmiştir. Katılımcılara üç bölümden oluşan çevrimiçi anket uygulanmıştır. İlk bölümde sosyodemografik özellikler ve antropometrik ölçümler sorgulanırken, ikinci bölümde Iowa Bebek Beslenmesi Tutum Ölçeği (Iowa Infant Feeding Attitude Scale, IIFAS), üçüncü bölümde ise Edinburgh Postpartum Depresyon Ölçeği uygulanmıştır.
Bulgular: Araştırmaya katılan 417 annenin yaş ortanca değeri 28 yıl, IIFAS puan ortalamaları 65,08 ± 6,83’tür. Bebek beslenmesi tutumları ile ilişkili faktörleri belirlemek için oluşturulan çoklu doğrusal regresyon modellerinde, annelerin lise ve üzeri eğitim almış olması IIFAS’ta 3,60 puan artış, gelirinin giderinden az olması ise 1,97 puan azalış ile ilişkili bulunmuştur. Ayrıca IIFAS’taki 2,82 puan artış, bebeğini son 24 saatte sadece anne sütüyle besleme ile ilişkili iken, 2,09 puan azalış ise bebeğin hafif şişman olması ile ilişkilidir. Bu faktörler annede postpartum depresyon riski olup olmamasına göre incelendiğinde, risk olmayanlarda lise ve üzeri eğitim almış olmak ve son 24 saatte sadece anne sütü alımı IIFAS’ta sırasıyla 4,01 ve 2,96 puan artışla, gelirinin giderinden az olması ve bebeğin hafif şişman olması ise sırasıyla 1,69 ve 2,76 puan azalışla ilişkilidir. Bununla birlikte, depresyon riski olan annelerde IIFAS puanları ile ilişkili herhangi bir faktör saptanmamıştır.
Sonuç: Annelerin bebek beslenmesi tutumu eğitim durumu, sosyoekonomik düzey, doğum haftası ve depresyon gibi birçok faktörden etkilenmektedir. Özellikle postpartum depresyon riskinin varlığı, bebek beslenmesi tutumunu tek başına olumsuz etkileyebildiği gibi diğer faktörlerin olası etkisini de değiştirebilir.

Objective: Osteoarthritis (OA) is among the primary causes of chronic disability. Pain and other symptoms of OA may have an effect on function and quality of life. The study aims to investigate the relationship between osteoarthritis severity, pain, muscle strength, kinesiophobia, and quality of life in individuals with knee OA.
Material and Method: 100 patients with knee OA were enrolled in this study. The mean age of the patients was 65.50±2.74 years and the mean body mass index was 27.89±1.21 kg/m2. The severity of OA was evaluated with the Lequesne Algofunctional Index (LAI). Pain levels and their effect on function were evaluated with the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and WOMAC Osteoarthritis Index; functional muscle strength with the Sit-to- Stand Test (5-STS) and Stair Test (ST); kinesiophobia with the Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale; quality of life with the SF-12 Scale.
Results: There was a weak correlation between LAI and VAS rest (r=0.34), VAS night (r=0.30), and SF-12 mental score (r=-0.20) (p
Essential role of multi-element data in interpreting elevated element concentrations in areas impacted by both natural and anthropogenic influences
Authors: Petrović Marija , Medunić Gordana , Fiket Željka 
Published: September 2023

Background
This article presents a detailed analysis of a dataset consisting of 27 elements found in soils, soil eluates, and vegetables from private gardens in a region with a long history of coal mining and burning. With coal being one of the world’s most significant energy sources, and previous studies highlighting elevated element levels in vegetables from this region, the objective of this study was to identify the factors that impact soil geochemistry and metal(loid) uptake in plants.

Methods
Total major and trace element concentrations were analyzed in soils, soil eluates and vegetables by high resolution inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The vegetable samples included six species: fennel, garlic, lettuce, parsley, onion, and radicchio. Each plant was divided into roots, stems, leaves, and/or bulbs and analyzed separately. In addition, the soil pollution status, bioavailable fractions and transfer factors from soil and soil eluates to different plant parts were determined.

Results
The comprehensive dataset revealed that, apart from the substrate enriched with various elements (Al, As, Co, Cr, Mo, Ni, Pb, Sb, Sn, Ti, U, V, and Zn), other anthropogenic factors such as the legacy of coal mining and combustion activities, associated industries in the area, transport, and agricultural practices, also influence the elevated element concentrations (Cd, Cu, Fe, Mn, and Se) in locally grown vegetables. The transfer factors based on element concentrations in aqueous soil eluates and element bioavailable fractions confirmed to be an effective tool for evaluating metal uptake in plants, emphazising to some extent the effects of plant species and revealing unique patterns for each pollution source within its environmental context (e.g., Cd, Mo, S, and Se in this case). The study highlights the crucial importance of utilizing comprehensive datasets that encompass a multitude of factors when interpreting the impacts of element uptake in edible plants.

Aim: In this study, the preservative effect of potassium sorbate, ginger, garlic and a combination of ginger – garlic on the microbiological quality and shelf stability of cold-smoked Catfish (Clarius gariepinus) were investigated.
Methodology: A total of 100 fresh catfish from Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike (MOUAU) Nigeria Fish Farm was used for the analysis. The fish were processed and divided into five lots of twenty each. This was followed by marinating in baths containing 0.5% potassium sorbate, 3% ginger, 3% garlic, and a mix of 1.5% ginger and 1.5% garlic each and a control for 2h. Afterwards, the treated fish was cold-smoked for 8 h and then stored at room temperature (28 ± 2°C). Fish samples were collected at 2-day intervals to determine total viable count, total fungal count, and bacterial counts (Escherichia coli, Salmonella, Staphylococcus sp, and Listeria sp.).
Results: Findings of this study revealed that potassium sorbate, ginger, garlic, and ginger-garlic blends enhanced the microbiological safety of cold–smoked Catfish (Clarius gariepius). The result showed that although counts of some microbial contaminants increased in the cold-smoked fish, however, it varied (p˂0.05) with the treatment during storage. Comparatively, 1.5% ginger - 1.5% garlic marinate was the most effective and performed considerably higher (p˂0.05) than 0.5% potassium sorbate in the reduction of the microbial contaminants. In this study, the lowest total viable counts were observed in the 3% ginger–treated cold smoked fish (8.7x105 cfu/g) while the untreated sample was the most contaminated (1.19 x 106 cfu/g) at pre-storage. A significant increase in the total viable count was observed in all the samples during storage however, 3% garlic recorded the least (1.13 x 106 to 2.84 x106 to 3.48x106 cfu/g) and the highest in the untreated sample (1.19 x 106 to 3.38 x 106 to 3.66x 106 cfu/g). Overall, 1.5%ginger+1.5%garlic blend was most effective on E. coli while 0.5% potassium sorbate was on Salmonella at ambient storage. Listeria monocytogenes was most susceptible to all the treatment, the growth of fungi steadily increased in the treated cold smoked fish during ambient storage.
Conclusion: The study found that 3% ginger, 3% garlic, 1.5% ginger - 1.5% garlic mixture inhibits significantly the growth of microbial contaminants relatively with 0.5% potassium sorbate in cold-smoked fish during ambient storage.

Introduction: Statin therapy is a well-established treatment for cardiovascular disease, with potential implications for cognitive function. However, reports have been inconsistent regarding statin therapy's impact on cognitive function in elderly patients. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the current evidence relating to the cognitive effects of statin therapy in the elderly population.
Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted using the databases PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library, up to May 2023. Eligibility criteria included randomized controlled trials and observational studies involving elderly patients on statin therapy, with a focus on cognitive function outcomes. Studies were excluded if they did not provide comparative data for elderly patients not on statin therapy.
Results: Out of fourteen studies, representing a diverse population of 68,724 participants, the majority suggested a neutral or beneficial impact of statin use on cognitive function in the elderly population. For instance, a large-scale study involving patients with cardiovascular disease demonstrated no adverse cognitive effects following statin therapy. Another study involving hypertensive elderly patients indicated a possible protective role of statins against cognitive impairment. On the whole, the results were heterogenous, with no substantial evidence pointing towards a harmful effect of statins on cognitive health.
Conclusion: The review provides evidence that statin therapy does not appear to negatively impact cognitive functions in elderly patients. Rather, the findings lean toward a neutral or potentially protective effect. Considering the global prevalence of statin use, these findings should reassure clinicians and patients about the cognitive safety of these medications. However, given the importance of this issue, further large-scale studies are recommended to confirm these findings and further elucidate any potential cognitive benefits associated with statin therapy.

ImportanceContralateral breast cancer (CBC) is the most frequently diagnosed primary cancer in patients with breast cancer. Although many studies have reported survival after the development of CBC, results have been inconsistent.ObjectiveTo investigate whether the development of CBC is associated with survival among patients with breast cancer.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis cohort study was conducted at the Asan Medical Center, Korea, among patients who were diagnosed with primary unilateral, nonmetastatic, stage 0 to III breast cancer between 1999 and 2013 and followed up through 2018. The median (IQR) follow-up was 107 (75-143) months. Patients were categorized into CBC and no-CBC groups by whether they developed CBC during the follow-up period. Data were analyzed from November 2021 to March 2023.ExposureDevelopment of CBC.Main outcomes and measuresSurvival rates of CBC and no-CBC groups were compared using a time-dependent Cox proportional hazard model in the entire study population and in subgroup analyses by interval of CBC development and subtype of the primary breast cancer.ResultsAmong 16 251 patients with breast cancer (all Asian, specifically Korean; mean [SD] age, 48.61 [10.06] years), 418 patients developed CBC. There was no significant difference in overall survival between CBC and no-CBC groups (hazard ratio, 1.166; 95% CI, 0.820-1.657). Patients who developed CBC within 1.5 years after the surgery of the primary breast cancer had a higher risk for overall death during the study period (hazard ratio, 2.014; 95% CI, 1.044-3.886), and those who developed CBC after 1.5 years showed no significant difference in survival compared with the no-CBC group. Patients with hormone receptor (HR)–positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (ERBB2, formerly HER2)–negative breast cancer had a higher risk for overall death in the CBC group (hazard ratio, 1.882; 95% CI, 1.143-3.098) compared with the no-CBC group.Conclusions and RelevanceThis study found that development of CBC in patients with breast cancer was not associated with survival but that early development of CBC after diagnosis of the primary breast cancer or development of CBC in patients with HR-positive/ERBB2-negative breast cancer was associated with survival. These results may provide valuable information for patients seeking advice on opting for contralateral prophylactic mastectomy.

ImportanceEnsuring appropriate school engagement for deaf or hard of hearing (DHH) children in the US is important for improving their long-term outcomes as they grow into adults.ObjectiveTo examine the associations between hearing loss (HL), its sequelae (speech and/or language disorders, behavioral and/or conduct problems, and neuropsychiatric and/or learning disorders), and various school engagement measures among school-aged children in the US.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis cross-sectional study combined data from the nationally representative 2016-2021 National Survey of Children’s Health. A total of 155 178 randomly selected children (weighted, approximately 49 340 700 children) aged 6 to 17 years with a parent or caregiver who responded to an address-based survey by mail or online were included. All analyses were weighted to account for the probability of selection and nonresponse and to reflect population-based estimates representative of all noninstitutionalized school-aged US children and adolescents residing in housing units.Main Outcomes and MeasuresDiverse school engagement measures, including extracurricular participation in sports, clubs, paid work, volunteer work, and organized lessons, as well as educational performance variables, including missed school days, not caring about doing well in school, not doing required homework, grade repetition, and parent or guardian contacted by school.ResultsOf the estimated 49 340 700 children aged 6 to 17 years (41.1% aged 6-10 years; 51.1% male; 54.7% without underrepresented minority status), an estimated 1.4% (95% CI, 1.2%-1.5%) were reported by their parent or guardian to have deafness or hearing problems. Having DHH status was associated with significantly worse outcomes on 8 of 10 school engagement measures (eg, participation in sports: adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 0.75 [95% CI, 0.60-0.93]; missed school days: AOR, 2.98 [95% CI, 2.21-4.00]), even after adjustment for age, sex, underrepresented minority status, highest educational level of parent or guardian, federal poverty level of the household, and primary language in the household. Moreover, although subgroup analyses of DHH children with and without HL sequelae revealed significant differences (speech and/or language disorder: AOR, 5.83 [95% CI, 4.31-7.89]; behavioral and/or conduct problem: AOR, 2.75 [95% CI, 2.10-3.60]; neuropsychiatric and/or learning disorder: AOR, 3.06 [95% CI, 2.39-3.91]), HL sequelae only partially mediated the associations between these disparities.Conclusions and RelevanceIn this cross-sectional study, DHH status itself may have been the primary factor directly associated with school engagement disparities. These findings suggest the need for greater emphasis on educational accommodations and support for hearing status itself, independent of the presence or absence of HL sequelae.
Fault‐tolerant secure H∞$$ H\infty $$ synchronization for complex networks with semi‐Markov jump topology
Authors: Qi Yunhan , Su Lei , Shen Hao 
Published: September 2023

SummaryThe article mainly studies the fault‐tolerant control of complex networks with semi‐Markov jump topology under hybrid attacks. First, the semi‐Markov process is imported to the topology change of sampled‐data complex networks. Second, by designing a strategy to resist mixed attacks, the system can remain stable even under mixed attacks. Then, some sufficient conditions have been established to guarantee performance through fault‐tolerant control mechanism even if it suffers from actuator failure. Finally, a numerical example and a practical example are used to prove the feasibility of the theory.

AbstractAlthough increasing efforts have been devoted to the development of non‐invasive wearable electrochemical sweat sensors for monitoring physiological and metabolic information, most of them still suffer from poor stability and specificity over time and fluctuating temperatures. This study reports the design and fabrication of a long‐term stable and highly sensitive flexible electrochemical sensor based on nanocomposite‐modified porous graphene by facile laser treatment for detecting biomarkers such as glucose in sweat. The laser‐reduced and patterned stable conductive nanocomposite on the porous graphene electrode provides the resulting glucose sensor with an excellent sensitivity of 1317.69 µA mm−1 cm−2 and an ultra‐low limit of detection of 0.079 µm. The sensor can also detect pH and exhibit extraordinary stability to maintain more than 91% sensitivity over 21 days in ambient conditions. Taken together with a temperature sensor based on the same material system, the dual glucose and pH sensor integrated with a flexible microfluidic sweat sampling network further results in accurate continuous on‐body glucose detection calibrated by the simultaneously measured pH and temperature. The low‐cost, highly sensitive, and long‐term stable platform could facilitate the early identification and continuous monitoring of different biomarkers for non‐invasive disease diagnosis and treatment evaluation.
