Published: May 2023

Background
Diffuse parenchymal lung diseases (DPLD) compromise heterogeneous subtypes. Establishing an accurate diagnosis is paramount. Lung tissue biopsy is the gold standard diagnostic tool.

Aim
To assess the role of medical thoracoscopy with electrocautery in the diagnosis of DPLD.

Patients and methods
A total of 20 patients who had undiagnosed DPLD on chest high-resolution computed tomography were randomly selected from Menoufia Chest Department from March 2017 to March 2019. Lung biopsy was taken by medical thoracoscopy under conscious sedation with the aid of electrocautery device.

Results
A total of 12 (60%) patients were males, and seven (35%) patients were smokers. The mean age was 58.1±10.5 years. High-resolution computed tomography patterns were reticulonodular (65%), ground glass (35%), miliary shadow (15%), and consolidation (15%). Diagnoses were granulomatous lung disease (40%), idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (30%), malignant lung disease (15%), and interstitial lung disease secondary to rheumatoid disease (10%). One (5%) case remained undiagnosed. The mean duration of hospital stay for the studied group was 1.95 days, ranging from 1 to 6 days. Recorded complications were air leak (5%), wound infection (5%), and surgical emphysema (5%). There were no reported mortalities.

Conclusions
Medical thoracoscope is a safe, effective, and feasible method to obtain lung biopsies for diagnosis of DPLD.

Authors: Sharma Richa , Weiss Mitchell G. , Sule Nachiket , Mistry Nerges F. 
Published: May 2023

Context:
The National Crime Records Bureau reports that 134,516 deaths result from suicide in India every year. Maharashtra accounts for 13.4% of the total reported suicides.

Aims:
This documentation study in the framework of a community mental health program (CMHP) aimed to identify local features of suicide in a rural community, namely sociodemographics and drivers of suicide.

Settings and Design:
The study was conducted in a community of rural Purandhar block in Western Maharashtra from January 2014 to March 2016 where a CMHP was ongoing since 2013. Data were collected as a part of process documentation through its local community health workers (CHWs).

Subjects and Methods:
CHWs involved in the program were interviewed, and data were analyzed manually.

Results:
Seventeen completed and seven attempted suicides who were not a part of the ongoing CMHP among the population were documented. Majority were men under 30 years of age. Pesticide consumption was the most common method of self-harm, and domestic strains were the major driver for suicides.

Conclusions:
The local pattern of suicidal behavior and its context are relevant for consideration in suicide prevention plans responsive to culture-specific features of suicide.
Behavioral Addiction among Children and Adolescents – A Review of Qualitative Studies
Authors: Manohar Harshini , Thomas Tony Lazar , Asokan Kiruthika , Mukherjee Nirmalya , Sharma Eesha 
Published: May 2023

Background:
With increasing accessibility to the virtual world, behavioral addiction is an emerging global concern among children and adolescents. Understanding attitudes and perceptions regarding behavioral addictions is critical to formulate appropriately tailored and meaningful interventions. This review aims to widen the scope of understanding behavioral addictions, by synthesizing findings from qualitative studies on perspectives, experiences, and key processes across the spectrum of behavioral addictions among children and adolescents.

Methods:
We conducted systematic search in PubMed and Google Scholar using keywords pertinent to qualitative research in behavioral addictions, adhering to enhancing transparency in reporting the synthesis of qualitative research guidelines. Eighteen studies were included after thorough screening of studies. We followed the analytical approach described by Petticrew and Roberts for thematic comparative synthesis.

Results:
There were five principal themes that articulate the experiential realities of children and adolescents in the context of behavioral addictions. They are (1) high-risk environment as a vulnerability: etiopathogenetic model for gambling, (2) attitudes toward behavioral addiction across the spectrum, (3) awareness, (4) perceived impact, and (5) perspectives and attitudes toward other's engagement in addictive behaviors.

Conclusion:
The findings have implications for public health policies such as promoting a supportive macrosystem while curtailing accessibility to activities and platforms of high addictive potentials. Future research in this area should include multiple stakeholder perspectives, perspectives of younger children and early adolescents, integration with quantitative findings, and studying the impact of particularly high-risk situations, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, to inform recommendations and policies, for comprehensive, multilevel, and multisystemic interventions.
Platelet-rich plasma versus microneedling effects in NB-UVB non-responder vitiligo patients
Authors: Khalil Karem T. , Ibrahim Samah E. 
Published: May 2023

Background
Narrow-band ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) is a crucial and effective line of treatment for nonsegmental vitiligo.

Objective
To compare the effect of adding platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections versus microneedling sessions on the response to NB-UVB in patients who stopped giving response or did not give response from the start.

Patients and methods
An intrapatient randomized comparative study including 30 patients with stable, nonsegmental vitiligo was performed. Three lesions were assessed in each participant and randomly allocated to undergo PRP injections or microneedling every 2 weeks for four sessions. The third lesion was left as a control. Throughout the study, all lesions were subjected to NB-UVB three times a week. Photographic assessment by an independent dermatologist and a patient satisfaction questionnaire were used to assess repigmentation.

Results
PRP injection showed better results than microneedling in terms of repigmentation, complications, and patient satisfaction. The mean percentages of repigmentation in PRP, microneedling-treated, and control lesions were 58.17±21.52, 24.5±18.77, and 15.17±13.49, respectively (P<0.001). The onset of repigmentation was earlier in the PRP-injected lesions compared with microneedling (3.97±1.607 and 7.8±2.683 weeks, respectively; P<0.001). Follicular repigmentation was the predominant pattern in PRP sites (50%).

Conclusion
PRP therapy is a secure and effective procedure that helps patients with vitiligo and speeds up their reaction to NB-UVB as well as supports and encourages their recall response.

Authors: Taha Alsayeda A.A. , Khadr Nouran A. , Elneily Dalia A.E. , Elkhalifa Marwa S.A. , Mohamad Sara S.M. 
Published: May 2023

Background
Psoriasis is a common, multifactorial, chronic inflammatory disorder that affects the skin and is increasingly recognized to be a systemic inflammatory disease. The quality of life is significantly affected by the highly heritable polygenic condition known as psoriatic arthritis (PsA). The care of PsA and early identification and detection of the condition will enhance quality of life and reduce complications. Detection of serum biomarker for PsA may help in early diagnosis.

Objective
To compare the serum levels of matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) in patients with psoriasis with and without PsA and its correlation with disease severity.

Patients and methods
This case–control study was conducted on 40 patients with psoriasis and 20 age-matched and sex-matched controls. Patients were divided according to CASPAR criteria into two groups: psoriasis group (A) and PsA group (B). Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to determine the serum level of MMP-3.

Results
There was no statistically significant difference of MMP-3 level between psoriatic without PsA and control groups. There was a statistically significant higher level of MMP-3 in the PsA group compared with both psoriatic and control groups (mean=33.20±26.86, 16.24±14.80, and 16.47±8.43 pg/ml, respectively), and it was not correlated with disease severity in patients with psoriasis.

Conclusion
Serum levels of MMP-3 were significantly higher in psoriatic patients with arthritis compared with both psoriatic and control groups. Therefore, it may have a role in the development of PsA and may be used as a marker for diagnosis; however, it is not correlated with disease severity.

AIM:
This study aimed to assess Iraqi university students' oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) according to sociodemographic variables and compare dental and non-dental students.

METHODS:
A cross-sectional study was carried out for students in multiple Iraqi universities from June 15, 2022, to July 15, 2022. A total of 771 individuals participated in the study using an online questionnaire. A pre-tested and validated Arabic version of the Psychosocial Impact of Dental Aesthetics Questionnaire (PIDAQ) was adopted as an evaluation tool. A P value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Reliability analysis was conducted using Cronbach's alpha.

RESULT:
Cronbach's alpha score for the overall scales was 0.942, indicating excellent internal consistency. There were 69.8% (n = 538) dental students in the total sample. A significant difference was found between dental and non-dental students in the total PIDAQ scores and other subscale domains (P < 0.05). Statistically significant differences in means were also noted in the residency (P = 0.005) and household income of students (P = 0.000).

CONCLUSIONS:
This study shows the reliability of the PIDAQ scale for assessing the psychological impact of dental aesthetics on undergraduate Iraqis. It was found that the perception of OHRQoL varies between dental and non-dental university students, and according to socioeconomic status and residency.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
The present study was designed as a cross-sectional study comprising of a 30-item questionnaire survey instrument distributed among a total of 550 dental students while the results obtained were subjected to statistical analysis. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS version 12.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). Independent student's t-test and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used for comparison among the variables while the Chi-square test was used to determine the association between the variables. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

RESULTS:
No significant difference was observed in the attitude based on gender (P = 0.43), although, a statistically significant difference was observed in the attitude of students based on the year of their education with a positive attitude toward rural dental practice generally noted in the first year Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) students which significantly declined with the increasing level of education (P = 0.01).

CONCLUSIONS:
Dental students were more influenced by the negative aspects of rural dental practice though they had, in their mind, a positive approach for the same at the beginning of their education, but this significantly declined with the increasing level of their education.

Published: May 2023

PT. Alam Permai Makmur Raya is one of the palm oil companies that has implemented E-Plantation in its business processes but it has never been evaluated before, so researchers are interested in evaluating E-Plantation to determine the success of the system. This study adopted the DeLone and McLean model covering 6 variables,namely, system quality, information quality, service quality, use, user satisfaction and net benefit which are processed using SmartPLS. This study aims to test 8 research hypotheses and find out what factors most influence their success. The results showed that there were 5 accepted hypotheses and 3 rejected hypotheses. E-Plantation cannot be said to be completely successful because there is no influence of system quality on user use and satisfaction and no influence of user satisfaction on net benefits. There are two variables that have a major influence on the success of E-Plantation, namely, the service quality variable with a T-Statistic of 3.779 and the usage variable of 4.441 so that it can be interpreted that the service quality of E-Plantation is good so that users are active to use this system.

Analisis Sentimen Pengunjung Pulau Komodo dan Pulau Rinca di Website Tripadvisor Berbasis CRISP-DM
Authors: Singgalen Yerik Afrianto 
Published: May 2023

A sentiment analysis is needed to identify tourist preferences for products and services in a tourist destination. Therefore, this study uses the Cross-Industry Standard Procedure for Data Mining (CRISP-DM) method to classify visitor review data for Komodo Island and Rinca Island obtained from the Tripadvisor website based on negative and positive sentiments, then recommends the development of an information system that can optimize the products and services of tourist destinations on Komodo Island and Rinca Island. Meanwhile, the algorithms used are k-Nearest Neighbor (k-NN), Naïve Bayes Classifier (NBC), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Decision Tree (DT). Based on the results of data classification using the word weighting method or Term Frequency Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF) through the sentiment extract operator, it can be known that the five words that most often appear in tourist reviews of Komodo Island are as follows: Komodo dragons (1894), dragons (1596), island (1492), tour (840), boat (774). Meanwhile, the five words that most often appear in tourist reviews of Rinca Island are as follows: komodo dragon (1042), dragons (962), island (882), rinca (606), and boat (372). In addition, the results of the classification of 564 Komodo Island tourist review data and 364 Rinca Island tourist review data using CRISP-DM-based k-NN, NBC, SVM, and DT algorithms, show that the Support Vector Machine (SVM) is the best-performing algorithm where the accuracy value is 99.69%, precision 100%, recall 99.39%, f-measure 99.69%, Area Under Curve (AUC) 100% and t-Test 0.958. Meanwhile, the results of processing tourist review data on Rinca Island products and services show that the Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm has the best performance with 100% accuracy, 100% precision, 100% recall, 100% f-measure, 100% Area Under Curve (AUC) and 0.964 t-Test. After comparing the performance of SVM before and after using the Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE), it can be seen that the implementation of the algorithm becomes more optimal when using the SMOTE operator. Thus, SVM is a relevant algorithm used as a model for analyzing tourist sentiment on Komodo Island and Rinca Island based on CRISP-DM.
Concerning the different pronunciations of “our,” how does the pronunciation affect people of generational and foreign language background differences?
Authors: Sydnor Wesley 
Published: May 2023

The younger generation’s dialect has changed rapidly due to the increased consumption of media from different backgrounds. Changing dialect affects the way we communicate with each other. The research question I curated concerned the different pronunciations of “our,” and how the difference in pronunciation affects people of generational and foreign language backgrounds. The methods of the study included a short sequence of questionnaires to provide interest, statistical information, as well as availability information for myself (the interviewer) to find a time at which I may interview the participant. The takeaway from the research was originally to research more on the topic of the generational differences of dialects. However, upon further inspection of my participant pool, another observation of the variables was needed to encompass the entire population. Thus, it can be concluded that dialect changes among people with the competing dialects of the older and younger generations affect the non-native population. The hypothesis suggests there is a relationship between dialect used by both younger and older generations, which impacts L2 English speakers and their pronunciation of “our.” The results were calculated by hand from data collected on Google Sheets. It can be assumed that the [‘aʊɚ] to [‘ar] pronunciation dialect change affected most of the older and younger populations. 42.86% of the total participants used the pronunciation of “our” as [‘aʊɚ], meaning that less than half of the population used the “proper” pronunciation of “our.” The following results are deemed inconclusive due to the number of variables that were present.
