Published: August 2022

AimsWith the development of information technology, online health platforms and physician online information sharing play an important role in public health management and patient education. Is physician online information sharing always beneficial to patient education? From the attention perspective, this study aims to explore how physician online information sharing influences patient education, considering the contingent roles of physician online reputation and offline expertise.MethodsA 6-month panel data of 61,566 physician-month observations from an online health platform in China was used to tested the proposed hypotheses. Considering the inefficiency and estimated bias of the ordinary least squares regression model, this study conducted the fixed models to test the direct and moderating effects.ResultsThe results indicate that physician online information sharing is positively related to potential patient education, while the relationship between physician online information sharing and realized patient education is an inverted U-shape. Physician online reputation enhances the positive relationship between physician online information sharing and potential patient education, but physician offline expertise weakens the abovementioned relationship. In addition, physician offline expertise flattens the curvilinear effect of physician online information sharing on realized patient education.ConclusionThis study contributes to the literature about attention theory and information sharing for patient education, and provides implications for practice.
An exploration of treatment seeking behavior of women experienced infertility and need for services in rural India
Authors: Patra Shraboni , Unisa Sayeed 
Published: August 2022

BackgroundTo make informed decisions on fertility treatment, couples need to understand the treatment options available to them. A wide range of treatment options is available from the traditional and biomedical service providers in India. There is a dearth of research to find out factors that influence the treatment-seeking behavior of couples, particularly in rural areas.ObjectivesThe study aimed to document the treatment-seeking behavior of women for their infertility problems. Further, the research focused on the socio-economic determinants affecting allopathic treatment-seeking of women and the services needed for couples experiencing infertility in rural India.MethodsThe study is cross-sectional. Primary data were collected from the two high infertility prevalence districts. Complete mapping and listing were carried out to identify the eligible respondents. A total of 159 ever-married women (20–49 years) out of 172 identified women were interviewed. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were performed.ResultsAmong 159 interviewed women, only three did not seek any kind of treatment. Of the 156 women, 63, 65, and 28 women (mutually exclusive) received first, second and third-order treatment, respectively. The number of women decreased in the succeeding phases of infertility. Women aged above 35 years, were significantly less (OR = 0.310,p&lt; 0.05) compared to women aged below 30 years to receive allopathic treatment. The use of allopathic treatment was significantly three times higher among women who were educated (OR = 3.712,p&lt; 0.01) and two times higher among those who were exposed (OR = 2.217,p&lt; 0.5) to media. Further, for those who had felt the treatment was necessary, about 30, 44, 10, and 19% mentioned that due to unaffordability, inaccessibility, or inconveniences they couldn't consult allopathic treatment.ConclusionsTimely diagnosis and appropriate treatment play important role in infertility management. Women who are more educated and are exposed to media tend to consult allopathic treatment. Similarly, time and money spent on care vary significantly and independently by type of treatment and socioeconomic factors. There is a need for mandatory insurance coverage for infertility treatment enacted by the state government. In addition to the public services, the private sector and the traditional healers are both important alternative sources of first help.
Physical activity across days of week, video games, and laptop use are more likely to influence weight gain among Saudi Youth
Authors: Alibrahim Mohammed Shaab 
Published: August 2022

PurposeThe purpose of this study was to determine the extent and prevalence of daily PA and the sedentary behavior during inactive spare-time among young Saudis and their effect on overweight and obesity.MethodsA total of 357 students completed all stages of this study. They included 282 boys aged 11.95 ± 0.73 years (213 children aged 11.62 ± 0.506 years and 69 adolescents aged 13.16 ± 0.373 years) and 75 girls (16 children aged 11.94 ± 0.236 years and 59 adolescents aged 13.47 ± 0.626 years). For each participant, height and weight were measured, and BMI was calculated. A questionnaire asking about daily PA and sedentary habits during the previous 7 days was also used. Multiple comparisons were performed to test for differences between groups by sex and age category, and stepwise multiple regression analysis was used to determine which variables significantly affected BMI.ResultsThe overall prevalence of overweight and obesity was 17.02 and 28.37% in boys and 9.33 and 0% in girls, respectively. The patterns of PA were changing within elements and between sexes. Both groups of boys were more active than girls during breakfast and lunch periods (p &lt; 0.001 for all). A significant difference in favor of boys was also observed between the two groups of boys and the group of adolescent girls regarding after-school physical activity (p &lt; 0.05 for all). Prepubescent boys reported being generally less active during the previous 7 days than their female counterparts and adolescent peers. Sedentary behaviors did not differ between all groups. Playing video games and using laptops were the parameters significantly associated with BMI.ConclusionsThis study noted that the prevalence of overweight and obesity was more pronounced in boys than in girls. However, boys were more active but had the same degree of sedentary behavior as girls. Physical activity across the days of weekly, video games, and laptop use were the parameters that most affected BMI.

Published: August 2022

PurposeSystemic inflammatory markers may be predictors of the survival rate of patients with pancreatic cancer (PC). The aim of this work was to investigate the prognostic value of markers, mainly the systemic immune inflammation index (SII), in patients with metastatic and unresectable PC and to explore the relationship between markers and liver metastasis.MethodsRecords of patients with metastatic and unresectable PC at the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from January 2000 to December 2019 and who were followed until December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Clinical data and laboratory indexes were collected, and cut-off values for inflammatory markers were determined using median values. The Cox proportional hazard model was used to analyze the prognostic value of the markers through univariate and multivariate survival analysis.ResultsAll 253 patients met the inclusion criteria, and 102 (42.0%) patients had liver metastasis. The patients were divided into a high SII group and a low SII group, and the cut-off value was 533. In the multivariate analysis, high SII (HR = 2.151; p &lt; 0.001), chemotherapy (HR = 0.546; p &lt; 0.001), lymph node metastasis (HR = 4.053; p &lt; 0.001), and distant metastasis (HR = 1.725; p = 0.001) were independent risk markers of overall survival (OS). The level of markers, mainly SII, PLR and NLR, were higher in patients with liver metastasis.ConclusionsA high level of SII is an independent risk factor for short overall survival of patients with metastatic and unresectable PC. Patients with a high level of the inflammatory markers SII, PLR, and NLR, may be more prone to early liver metastasis.

Published: August 2022

BackgroundSurgical reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament ruptures is a well-established procedure, and although it is for the vast majority of patients without severe complications, total knee joint arthroplasty, arthrodesis of the knee, and finally transfemoral amputation have to be considered in the worst-case scenario.The caseWe report a case of a patient with a 13-year history of recurrent failure after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. She claimed she had severely impaired mobility secondary to a knee joint arthrodesis via an Ilizarov circular frame 2 years ago and chronic immobilizing pain, making a permanent medication with opioids necessary. She was aware of the therapeutic options and asked for transfemoral amputation and concomitant supply with a transcutaneous osseointegrated prosthesis system (TOPS).ProceduresAfter careful evaluation and clinical work-up, the indication for transfemoral amputation and concomitant implantation of the prosthetic stem into the femoral cavity was secured. Six weeks after the creation of the stoma for coupling of the artificial limb and onset of physiotherapy, balance and gait training were scheduled. Full weight-bearing and walking without crutches were allowed 12 weeks after the index procedure. This sequence of events was paralleled by a series of pre-defined examinations, that is, questionnaires and mobility scores addressing the situation of transfemoral amputees, as well as standardized clinical gait analysis. The latter was performed before surgery and 6, 9, and 18 months after the index procedure.OutcomeAt the time of the index procedure, opioids could be tapered to zero, and the patient quickly regained her walking abilities during the rehabilitation period. Clinical gait analysis confirmed the restoration of bilateral symmetry by mutual approximation of kinematics and kinetics to a standard gait pattern.ConclusionThe outcome of our patient strengthens the therapeutic potential of a unilateral transfemoral amputation in combination with TOPS. Nevertheless, long-term follow-up is necessary to detect future complications of this approach.

ObjectiveThis study aims to investigate the clinical outcome of single and double incision for double-level percutaneous interlaminar lumbar discectomyMethodsA retrospective analysis was performed involving patients with L4/5 and L5/S1 double-level lumbar disc herniation who received percutaneous interlaminar lumbar discectomy (PEID) in our hospital from January 2017 to December 2020. These enrolled patients were divided into single- and double-incision groups, with 25 patients in each group. We compared the incision length, operation time, fluoroscopy times, and length of hospital stay between the two groups. Meanwhile, the postoperative visual analogue scale (VAS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), Japanese Orthopedic Association score (JOA), and modified MacNab standard were used to evaluate the outcomes of the patients within the two groups.ResultsIt showed that the single-incision group performed better than double-incision group in incision length, operation time, and fluoroscopy times (P &lt; 0.001). The VAS score, JOA score, and ODI index in the two groups were significantly decreased at the time points of postsurgery, 1 month after surgery, and the last follow-up (P &lt; 0.01), but there was no statistical significance between the two groups involving above parameters (P &gt; 0.05). At the last follow-up, the excellent and good rates of MacNab efficacy in the two groups were 92% and 88%, respectively, but no significant difference was observed between the two groups (P &gt; 0.05).ConclusionBoth the single- and double-incision approaches are effective and safe for managing L4/5 and L5/S1 double-level LDH. Single-incision PEID for treating L4/5 and L5/S1 double-segment lumbar disc herniation has advantages of less trauma, fewer intraoperative fluoroscopy times, and shorter operation time, as compared to double-incision PEID. However, the operation of double-segment LDH through a single laminar incision is difficult, the learning curve is steep, and professional skill is highly required. Importantly, the surgical indications should be strictly grasped.

Authors: Pokutnii Serhii I. , Radosz Andrzej 
Published: August 2022

In the framework of the dipole approximation, it is shown that in the perovskites quantum dots (QDs) FAPbBr3 and {en} FAPbBr3 interacting with low-intensity light, the oscillator strengths of transitions, as well as the dipole moments allowing transitions between one-particle electron quantum-confined states, attain values considerably (by two orders of magnitude) exceeding the typical values of the corresponding quantities in semiconductors. It has been established that the maximum values of the cross-section optical absorption of perovskite QDs are reached at the resonant frequencies of electron transitions. This makes it possible to use such nanosystems as of strong absorption nanomaterials in a wide range of infrared waves.

AbstractLead-free ferroelectric and piezoelectric ceramics, (Bi0.5Na0.5)TiO3[BNT] ceramics were prepared by controlling the quenching rate. The quenching effects mainly caused an increase in lattice distortion 90-αandTd, contribution of electrical properties and ordered structural phase transitions. In this study, we analyzed oxygen tracer diffusion and examined domain structures for quenched BNT ceramics, and then we proposed a mechanism for the quenching effect. As a result, the diffusion coefficientsDof18O tracer for the OF and quenched samples were 2.5 × 10–11and 1.8 × 10–11cm2s−1, respectively, and there were no significant differences in oxygen vacancies after quenching. The correlation between the quenching effect and oxygen vacancies was also examined in BNT with hard and soft dopants. However, the contribution of oxygen vacancies was small thus, the correlation between the quench effect and oxygen vacancies was low. On the other hand, the domain structure of BNT ceramics was observed and the domain size of OF-BNT was around 20 nm. This is a typical domain size for BNT ceramics. In contrast, the domain size of the quenched BNT was 40 nm. Thus, quenching increased the domain size and decreased their density. Consequently, we propose that the domain structure is strongly correlated with the quench-induced increase in lattice distortion andTd, its contribution to electrical properties, and ordered structural phase transitions.

The antibacterial activity of essential oils extracted from Origanum compactum, Thymus capitatus, Foeniculum vulgare, and Rosmarinus officinalis was assessed with the well diffusion method and a microbroth dilution assay against E. coli isolated from the carcasses of rabbits. The chemical composition of these essential oils was also determined by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The results of this study indicate that essential oils with high phenol content exert a strong antibacterial activity against E. coli. Essential oils of Origanum compactum and Thymus capitatus containing high amounts of the monoterpenoid phenols thymol and carvacrol (68.99% and 95.25% carvacrol composition, respectively) were particularly effective against E. coli with low values of MIC = 0.3125% v/v and MBC = 0.625% v/v to report. The essential oil of Foeniculum vulgare also possessed moderate antibacterial activity (MIC = 50 % v/v) with a non-bactericidal effect, while the essential oil of Rosmarinus officinalis was ineffective at the concentrations tested.

Published: August 2022

<p> The simultaneous advances in artificial neural networks and photonic integration technologies have spurred extensive research in optical computing and optical neural networks (ONNs). The potential to simultaneously exploit multiple physical dimensions of time, wavelength and space give ONNs the ability to achieve computing operations with high parallelism and large-data throughput. Different photonic multiplexing techniques based on these multiple degrees of freedom have enabled ONNs with large-scale interconnectivity and linear computing functions. Here, we review the recent advances of ONNs based on different approaches to photonic multiplexing, and present our outlook on key technologies needed to further advance these photonic multiplexing/hybrid-multiplexing techniques of ONNs. </p>
