Abstract
Objectives: To evaluate the prognostic value of venous outflow (VO) profiles evaluated on multiphase CTA (mCTA) for the patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) after endovascular thrombectomy (EVT).
Methods: We retrospectively collected 150 patients with AIS who underwent pre-treatment CT perfusion (CTP) evaluation and subsequent EVT in our center from April 2018 to April 2022. Three-phases (peak arterial phase, peak venous phase, late venous phase) CTA was reconstructed from CTP raw data, and VO was evaluated on three-phases CTA, respectively. Favorable VO was regarded as a cortical vein opacification score of 3–6, and unfavorable VO as a score of 0–2. Good outcome was defined as modified Rankin Scale score of 0-2 at 90 days after EVT. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to explore the predictors of good outcome. Prognostic value was assessed and compared using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and Delong test.
Results: Good outcome was achieved in 85 (56.7%) patients. Among the mCTA- derived VO profiles, only favorable peak venous phase VO was found to be independently associated with good outcome (P<0.001). After integrating favorable peak venous phase VO with lower post-treatment National Institute of Health Stroke Scale score at 24 hours, successful recanalization and favorable hypoperfusion intensity ratio, the predictive ability for a good outcome was significantly improved than before (area under the ROC curve; 0.947 vs 0.881; P=0.002).
Conclusions: Favorable peak venous VO profiles on mCTA might be a promising biomarker in predicting the good outcome in patients with AIS after EVT.

Abstract
Background
Short-term temperature variability, defined as the temperature range occurring within a short time span at a given location, appears to be increasing with climate change. Such variation in temperature may influence acute health outcomes, especially cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Most research on temperature variability has focused on the impact of within-day diurnal temperature range, but temperature variability over a period of a few days may also be health-relevant through its impact on thermoregulation and autonomic cardiac functioning. To address this research gap, this study utilized a database of emergency department (ED) visits for a variety of cardiovascular health outcomes over a 27-year period to investigate the influence of three-day temperature variability on CVD.
Methods
For the period of 1993–2019, we analyzed over 12 million CVD ED visits in Atlanta using a Poisson log-linear model with overdispersion. Temperature variability was defined as the standard deviation of the minimum and maximum temperatures during the current day and the previous two days. We controlled for mean temperature, dew point temperature, long-term time trends, federal holidays, and day of week. We stratified the analysis by age group, season, and decade.
Results
All cardiovascular outcomes assessed, except for hypertension, were positively associated with increasing temperature variability, with the strongest effects observed for stroke and peripheral vascular disease. In stratified analyses, adverse associations with temperature variability were consistently highest in the moderate-temperature season (October and March-May) and in the 65 + age group for all outcomes.
Conclusions
Our results suggest that CVD morbidity is impacted by short-term temperature variability, and that patients aged 65 and older are at increased risk. These effects were more pronounced in the moderate-temperature season and are likely driven by the Spring season in Atlanta. Public health practitioners and patient care providers can use this knowledge to better prepare patients during seasons with high temperature variability or ahead of large shifts in temperature.

Abstract

Purpose
The objective of this study was to explore the relationship between cardiac structure, cardiac index (CI), and diastolic function parameters, and laboratory values in patients with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD), and to characterize the distinct SCD cardiomyopathy phenotype
Methods
We conducted a retrospective review of 202 adult patients with SCD (mean age 41.02 ± 13.36) at our hospital who underwent outpatient echocardiographic screening from 2019–2022.
Results
Our study identified cardiac hypertrophy, chamber dilatation with preserved ejection fraction, elevated TRV, increased cardiac output, and diastolic dysfunction as defining echocardiographic features in SCD. There was a negative correlation between CI and lateral e’ (R = -0.182, P = 0.012), and a positive correlation between CI and E/e’ (R = 0.274, P = 0.0001).
Conclusions
Our study identified a unique cardiomyopathy in patients with SCD characterized by cardiac hypertrophy with preserved systolic function, abnormal mitral inflow patterns, and elevated cardiac output. These features are indicative of restrictive physiology, as evidenced by left atrial enlargement and diastolic dysfunction, superimposed on hyperdynamic physiology. Further research is needed to elucidate the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying these observations and determine their prognostic significance in vulnerable populations with an elevated burden of cardiovascular disease, including the risk of sudden cardiac death.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
Atmospheric turbulence channels experience quasi-static fading, making it relatively easy to use feedback information for link adaptive transmission. Applying adaptive modulation to MIMO systems can effectively reduce the degradation of FSO signals under adverse turbulence conditions. In this paper, considering the joint influence of pointing error and Malaga distribution turbulence fading, the probability density function (PDF) of the received light intensity of MIMO channel employing maximum ratio combining (MRC) is derived based on the generalized power series. Using the cumulative density function (CDF)-based method, We analyze the asymptotic spectral efficiency(SE) and average bit error rate (BER) performance of the adaptive MPSK-MIMO systemunder different turbulence intensities, beam waist radius, jitter standard deviation and aperture number. In addition, we compare the BER performance of adaptive with non adaptive MIMO systems using MRC receiver. Monte Carlo simulation further verify our analysis. The derived results help quantifying the diversity order of our considered systems.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
\noindent Narayana's sequence is a ternary recurrent sequence defined by the recurrence relation $\mathcal{N}_n=\mathcal{N}_{n-1}+\mathcal{N}_{n-3}$ with initial terms $\mathcal{N}_0=0$ and $\mathcal{N}_1=\mathcal{N}_2=\mathcal{N}_3=1$. Let $\rho\geqslant2$ be a positive integer. In this study, it is proved that the $n$th Narayana number $ \mathcal{N}_n$ which are concatenations of three repdigits in base $\rho$ satisfies $n<5.6\cdot 10^{48}\cdot \log^7\rho$. Moreover, it is shown that the largest Narayana's number which are concatenations of three repdigits in base $\rho$ with $1\leqslant \rho\leqslant 10$ is $58425=\mathcal{N}_{31}=\overline{3332200}_5=\overline{332223}_7 .$

Abstract

Severe climate changes in arid and semi-arid regions, for example rising summer temperatures, lowering winter temperatures, and a lack of rainfall, have made calcareous soils' fertility concerns, more specifically nitrogen and phosphorus deficits, progressively worse. Moreover, there is limited information available regarding how sheep manure (SM) and di ammonium phosphate (DAP) affect soybean growth, photosynthesis, and yield, particularly under calcareous soil conditions. This study investigated the effects of sole and combined application of SM and DAP fertilizer namely FT1 (SM = 0%, DAP= 0%), FT2 (SM= 100%, DAP= 0%), FT3 (SM = 0%, DAP= 100%), FT4 (SM = 50%, DAP= 75%), FT5 (SM = 50%, DAP= 50%), and FT6 (SM = 50%, DAP= 0%) on growth, photosynthesis, and yield parameters of soybean cultivar (LD 04-13265 USD) in calcareous soil of a semiarid region in Parwan, Afghanistan. The results indicated that plant height and nodule number were unaffected by fertilization treatments, however growth features including leaf number, root length, and shoot biomass affected significantly. The net photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance, transpiration rate, and water use efficiency percentage were found to be significantly higher in FT4 and FT5, compared to FT1 (control). Conversely, each fertilization had a lower intercellular CO2 concentration than FT1. As a result, combined application of SM and DAP fertilizations such as FT4 and FT5 revealed better growth performance, higher photosynthesis efficiency as well as producing more seed yield compared to sole fertilizations. The increased growth, efficient photosynthesis and higher seed yield could be attributed to some extent to support nutrient availability, soil fertility, balanced nutrition, and a favourable soil environment by incorporating SM and DAP fertilizer. Ongoing studies can investigate the long-term effects of combining SM and DAP fertilizer on soil health parameters in calcareous soils. This can include assessing changes in soil pH, organic matter content, microbial activity, and nutrient cycling processes. Understanding these dynamics will contribute to sustainable agricultural practices and long-term soil fertility improvement.

Authors: Patil Rutuja , Mandlik Satish , Mandlik Deepa 
Published: June 2023

Abstract:Medicinal plants have significant therapeutic value and are a gift to humanity in pursuing healthy living. The discovery of numerous rejuvenating compounds that can stop or reduce the pathology of many diseases will be a crucial advancement in the coming years. Synthetic compounds can cause health issues and side effects, necessitating the development of molecules derived from plants and other natural resources as viable substitutes for synthetic compounds. Several plant phytochemicals and extracts have been found to have significant effects on traditional medical therapy. Murraya koenigii (M. Koenigii) is a member of the Rutaceae family, well-known in the Ayurvedic system of medicine as a therapeutically important herb of Indian origin. M. Koenigii has been used in several ancient systems of medicine, including Siddha and Unani, as a multi-potential medicinal plant. Previous research has shown that this plant's bark, roots, and leaves are abundant sources of carbazole alkaloids, which have beneficial pharmacological and biological effects. These include antioxidant, antibacterial, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, antihypertensive, antifungal, antiprotozoal, hepatoprotective, antihypercholesterolemic, antiulcer, cytotoxic, antidiarrheal, phagocytic, neuroprotective, and antitumor activities. The key components of the M. koenigii plant and their pharmacological activities against various diseases using preclinical models are discussed in this review. Exhaustive studies on the molecular mechanism of action of M. koenigii are needed to validate the effectiveness of curry tree and their constituents as potent therapeutic agents. However, serious efforts are required to identify, isolate and evaluate the chemical components for nutritional and medicinal potentials.

Readings on anorexia from psychoanalysis: a sistematice review/Lecturas sobre la anorexia desde el psicoanálisis: una revisión sistemática
Authors: Campodónico Nicolas 
Published: June 2023

This work proposes to carry out a systematic review on the different readings on anorexia to describe the proposals of approach in psychoanalysis and its methodological perspectives. The systematic review, according to the PRISMA Declaration, will be carried out in July 2022 and fifteen scientific articles will be selected from seven databases (REDIB, SCIELO, Dialnet, REDALYC, DOAJ, SNRD and Portal Regional en Salud Organización Panamericana de la Salud) that refer to publications in Spanish between 2022-2012 taking as references the proposals of the psychoanalytic clinic on anorexia, where it is concluded about the similarities and differences in the approaches to the subject from psychoanalysis on the consideration of anorexia both at a theoretical and clinical-therapeutic level. Today's anorexia could be thought of as the response of some hysterical young people to this imperative: the subject insists on affirming his subjective division, rejecting the object that tries to fill it. It strives to house nothingness, the space of pure desire.

Published: June 2023

This article discusses the concept of Muhammadiyah's nationalism and the challenges it faces in the present context. The research utilizes a literature-based approach, drawing from relevant sources. The study highlights Muhammadiyah's perspective that Islam and nationalism can coexist. Muhammadiyah's nationalism is rooted in religious beliefs and is based on Islam and the socio-historical context of Indonesia. The history of Muhammadiyah as an Islamic movement founded by KH Ahmad Dahlan demonstrates their commitment to the development of the Muslim community in Indonesia. However, Muhammadiyah and moderate Islamic movements encounter challenges in dealing with views that consider nationalism contradictory to Islamic teachings. The primary challenge faced by Muhammadiyah's nationalism today is the rapid advancement of technology, which has not been accompanied by the strong internalization of Muhammadiyah's nationalist ideology among the younger generation. Additionally, the rise of transnational Islamic movements that oppose nationalism poses a significant challenge.

Authors: Chairun Nisak Cut Lusi , Rohmah Tuthi’ Mazidar 
Published: June 2023

This article aims to discuss the dynamics of the conflict between Aswaja and Wahabi ideologies in Aceh, utilizing a literature review approach. The data for this article were obtained from relevant literature sources, including books and scholarly journals. The study reveals that religious conflicts in Aceh have occurred in various historical periods. These conflicts involve differing perspectives and have resulted in tensions among groups in Aceh, including the rejection of religious figures, the dissolution of religious gatherings, and debates on religious practices. The conflicts are closely related to the social and political context of Aceh, as well as the differing interpretations of religion between the exclusive Wahabi ideology and the inclusive Aswaja ideology. Aswaja, following the Shafi'i school of thought, has a distinct cultural emphasis on celebrating religious traditions, while Wahabi ideology opposes such practices and considers those who do not adhere to their ideology as infidels. In summary, the conflicts are driven by divergent views on religious practices, interpretations of religion, and beliefs in the existence of God.

Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mendiskusikan tentang dinamika konflik antara paham aswaja dan wahabi di Aceh dengan menggunakan pendekatan kajian literatur. Data dalam artikel ini diperoleh dari literatur-literatur berupa buku dan jurnal ilmiah yang relevan. Kajian ini menunjukkan dinamika konflik keagamaan di Aceh telah terjadi dalam beberapa periode sejarah. Konflik ini melibatkan perbedaan pandangan dan telah menyebabkan ketegangan antar kelompok di Aceh yang mencakup penolakan terhadap tokoh agama, pembubaran pengajian, dan perdebatan tentang praktik keagamaan. Konflik ini terkait dengan konteks sosial dan politik Aceh, serta perbedaan interpretasi agama antara paham Wahabi yang eksklusif dan paham Aswaja yang inklusif. Paham Aswaja, yang mengikuti mazhab Syafi'i, memiliki budaya yang berbeda dengan paham Wahabi. Aswaja menekankan nilai-nilai budaya seperti merayakan tradisi keagamaan, sementara Wahabi menentang praktik-praktik tersebut dan mengkafirkan mereka yang tidak sejalan dengan paham mereka.
