Determining the perceived risk of lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) among hookah users in Iran.

Hookah consumption is harmful to human health and can cause various diseases. Developing lung cancer and other lung diseases are one of the health consequences of hookah consumption. Measuring the perceived risk for being diagnosed with these conditions among hookah users is necessary. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the perceived risk of lung cancer and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) in hookah users in Iran. This cross-sectional study was conducted with a descriptive-analytical approach on 340 hookah users between January-May 2023. These people were recruited through convenience sampling. The information on the perceived risk of participants was collected through a questionnaire on the perceived risk of lung cancer and COPD. Data were analyzed through descriptive tests and multiple linear regression tests. These analyses were performed using Stata statistical software version 17. The mean and standard deviation of the perceived risk for lung cancer was 8.41 ± 5.50 and for COPD was 8.51 ± 5.58 out of 20 possible scores. The results of multiple linear regression generally showed that the using other type of tobacco (β = 3.14, p < 0.0001), 2 or more use of hookah in past month (β=-3.41, p = 0.025), unskilled workers (β = 1.79, p = 0.017), married smokers (β=-1.31, p = 0.026), negative attitude toward hookah (β = 0.46, p < 0.0001) were the predictive variables regarding to lung cancer perceived risk. In line with COPD the using other type of tobacco (β = 3.47, p < 0.0001), once a month use of hookah in past month(β=-3.74, p = 0.041) and twice or more use of hookah in past month (β=-4.82, p = 0.008), smokers in contemplation stage (β = 3.91, p < 0.0001), female smokers (β = 3.08, p < 0.0001), unskilled workers (β = 2.42, p = 0.007), negative attitude toward hookah (β = 0.46, p < 0.0001) were the predictive variables to COPD perceived risk. In general, the perceived risk of developing lung cancer and COPD among hookah users was low. Therefore, it is necessary to provide widespread information about the potential harm of hookah in causing lung cancer and COPD, at the community level.

Characterization of Anopheles mosquito breeding habitats for malaria vector control in Mazowe and Shamva districts, Zimbabwe.

Area-specific identification and studies of Anopheles breeding habitat diversity, distribution, and productivity in different seasons are important in designing and advancing effective malaria vector control according to the local context and needs. This study identified and characterized Anopheles breeding habitats for targeted control of malaria vectors in Mazowe and Shamva districts. Repeated cross-sectional surveys were conducted in Mazowe and Shamva districts between April and December 2023. Habitat productivity and physicochemical parameters were measured. Anopheles larvae were collected, reared to adults, and identified using morphological keys. SPSS software was used for data analysis. One-way ANOVA, Fisher's exact, Pearson's correlation, and simple linear regression tests were conducted. Seven different types of Anopheles breeding habitats were identified from 56 sites. The highest mean density of larvae was recorded in stream edge pools during the post-rainfall period. Anophelespretoriensis (67.4%), An. gambiae s.l. (23.1%), An. rufipes (9.2%) and An. coustani (0.38%) were breeding in the study area. Anopheles pretoriensis bred in all habitat types, An. coustani in swamps only while An. gambiae s.l. and An. rufipes preferred stream edge pools, roadside pools, and hoof prints. There was a significant positive correlation between larval density and dissolved oxygen (r = 0.535; p < 0.001) and conductivity (r = 0.288; p = 0.032). Size, origin, and type of breeding habitat were positive indicators for different Anopheles species in the study area. Potential malaria vector breeding habitats should be targeted for larval control under the current malaria control and elimination phases in the two districts.

Profiling the thermal damage gradient in concrete using linear and non-linear ultrasonics

Processes such as carbonation and thermal damage result in a depth-dependent variation in concrete mechanical properties, which are typically characterized by invasive sampling and destructive testing. In this study, several ultrasonic testing methods are employed to nondestructively measure gradients in elastic properties within concrete and mortar slabs, induced by varying amount of exposure to elevated temperatures. The slabs are subjected to two distinct heat exposures, carefully chosen to create different gradients within the first few centimeters below the surface. The first exposure scenario following the ISO fire standard led to superficial damage. Deeper damage was achieved with radiant panels. We use linear and non-linear ultrasonic testing, with the aim of characterizing the resulting property gradients including refracted P-waves, analysis of surface wave dispersion and higher harmonic generation. Additionally, we employ NRUS (nonlinear resonant ultrasound spectroscopy) to test slices extracted from the different depths within the slabs. The ultrasonic test results are benchmarked and interpreted in relation to a suite of other multiphysical measurements (resistivity, capacity, temperature). This work represents a first crucial step towards the development of a new method for measuring gradients of nonlinear elastic properties within concrete through nondestructive ultrasonic testing.

The Effect of the Mediterranean Diet Components on Blood Pressure, Mean Arterial Pressure, and Pulse Pressure in Hypertensive Patients

According to the 2018 Basic Health Research Data (RISKESDAS), the prevalence of hypertension in West Java was 39.6%, while in Cimahi City it was 41.83%. The composition of the Mediterranean diet contains a high proportion of MUFA and PUFA which act as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and cardioprotective with a potential to lower blood pressure. The aim of this study is to determine the impact of Mediterranean diet components on blood pressure in patients with hypertension. The study uses observational analytic methods as the design and also employs a prospective cohort sample of 36 patients with hypertension for three months, using a systematic random sampling technique. The research subjects were checked for blood pressure in the first month (T1) and the last month of the study (T2). The relative Mediterranean Diet (rMED) was used as a source of data on component intakes by administering the Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) 12 times within three months. The differences in Mediterranean diet composition and blood pressure in all Mediterranean diet adherence groups were examined using the ANOVA test and Tuckey’s post-hoc test, as well as to test comparisons of proportions between rMED adherence groups. The impact of each component of the Mediterranean Diet on blood pressure was evaluated using a linear regression analysis test. The results showed that the average age of hypertensive patients who underwent the Mediterranean diet was 57.94 years and 69.44% were female. The components of fruit and nuts, vegetables, and fish have a significant effect on systolic blood pressure. Fish components have a significant effect on diastolic blood pressure. The components of vegetables and fish have a significant effect on the mean arterial pressure (MAP). Fruit and nut components have a significant effect on pulse pressure. The limitations of this study are the short research time, the absence of salt consumption restrictions on the Mediterranean diet, and the presence of smoking and physical activity as confounding activities. Keywords: blood pressure, composition, Mediterranean diet, mean arterial pressure, pulse pressure

The Learning Curves of Adelaide- and Gan-Modified Lim-Tsai Flexor Tendon Repair Techniques

Surgical performance that improves with experience is often depicted as representing a "learning curve." Although numerous studies examine the tensile properties of various flexor tendon repairs, few compare the associated learning curves. This study aims to address this gap by comparing the learning curves of Adelaide- and Gan-modified Lim-Tsai repairs. Emphasizing the difference in learning curves is crucial because it highlights the tension between achieving biomechanically superior repairs, which may be challenging to many surgeons, and opting for possibly incrementally less strong but more feasible techniques. We organized a workshop attended by 20 medical students whose experience in surgery was limited to a few suturing exercises. Each participant repaired five porcine tendons in situ either with Adelaide- or Gan-modified Lim-Tsai, followed by a peripheral suture. We tested all tendons with linear static testing to measure ultimate and yield loads. In addition, repair times were recorded for each repair. We used a linear mixed model to compare learning between the techniques. Ultimate loads increased with experience and were higher in Adelaide technique during the first two repairs, compared with Gan-modified Lim-Tsai (80 N vs 63 N and 79 N vs 66 N, respectively). Yield loads also increased with experience but did not differ between the repair techniques at any time point. Mean repair times decreased from 44 to 28 minutes and from 46 to 25 minutes with Adelaide- and Gan-modified Lim-Tsai repairs, respectively. The Adelaide core suture had a higher initial ultimate load capacity despite fewer suture strands, possibly indicating better tension consistency. The ultimate load of the Gan-modified Lim-Tsai repair increased between the first and fifth repair, and repeats were needed to achieve comparable results with the Adelaide repair. The results of this study suggest that both repair methods are suitable for novice surgeons, but Adelaide tends to result in higher strength from the first repair. Generalizability to other repairs should be made with caution.

B-347 Analytical Performance Evaluation of the High Sensitivity PSA Assay and the Free PSAII Assay on the Atellica IM Analyzer

Abstract Background Measurement of serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels may be used in prostate cancer (PC) screening, but elevated PSA levels also are observed in patients with other etiologies such as benign prostatic hypertrophy. Studies suggest that measuring PSA with or before digital rectal examination (DRE) provides a better method of detecting PC than DRE alone. The free prostate specific antigen (fPSA) assay is an aid for distinguishing PC from benign prostate conditions in men 50 years or older with PSA values 4.0-10.0 ng/mL (µg/L) and DRE findings nonsuspicious for PC. The goal of this study was to evaluate the analytical performance of the high sensitivity PSA (hsPSA)* and free PSA (fPSAII)* assays on the Atellica® IM Analyzer. Methods Detection capability studies were performed per CLSI EP17-A2. Precision testing was performed per CLSI EP05-A3 with native human serum and QC samples, 3 reagent lots, 1 analyzer, 2 runs/day, 2 replicates/run for 20 days. For Atellica® hsPSA and fPSAII assays a multi-site reproducibility study was conducted per CLSI EP-05 A3 using native and contrived serum samples, 3 reagent lots, and 3 different sites and analyzers; samples were assayed in triplicate for five days, two runs/day ∼2 hours apart. Linearity testing was performed per CLSI EP06-A on a dilution series made from a high PSA sample (native human male serum pool) and a low sample (native human female serum), 4 replicates, 3 reagent lots, and 1 analyzer. Specimen equivalency was determined by Weighted Deming regression model per CLSI EP09c-ed3. Results Results are presented in the table. Conclusions The Atellica IM hsPSA assay and fPSAII assays detection capability, precision, linearity, and specimen equivalency were acceptable. *CAUTION: Investigational Device.

B-112 Regression Analysis Techniques for Assessing Calibration Reproducibility Within and Between Instruments. A Practical Example with Blood Ca²⁺ Assayed with Two cobas® b 221Analyzers

Abstract Background Reproducibility of the calibration curve within the analytical measurement range (AMR) is crucial for ensuring reliable patient values within and between laboratory instruments to detect shifts and trends of clinical significance. In this practical example for ionized calcium (Ca²⁺) assayed with two cobas b221® instruments, the equality of calibration lines and the verification with patient specimen comparison study was assessed with regression analysis techniques. Methods Instruments: Two cobas b 221 (Roche Diagnostics). Calibration material: COOX/MSS™ (Five levels, Roche Diagnostics). This was independently assayed either three or five times in parallel with both instruments. The patient specimens were obtained by venipuncture in Na/Li-heparin BD™ tubes (Becton-Dickinson). Upon receipt, specimens were assayed with both instruments within two minutes. The data were transferred to Minitab® (Version 21, Minitab Inc) statistical software and analyzed with polynomial ordinary least squares (POLS), orthogonal and locally weighted scatterplot smoother (lowess) regression analysis models. The aptness of the model was assessed with standardized residuals (std. res.) diagnostics. For acceptable total error the CLIA’s criterion target value ± 10% was adopted. Results While the POLS model did not show probabilistically significant differences between instruments (P=0.8), it showed probabilistically significant differences between years (P=0.003). However, this was due to a small MSE (= 0.003 mg/dL), which is not clinically significant. The test for linearity showed probabilistically significant lack-of-fit (P&amp;lt;0.0001) due to a small MS pure error (&amp;lt;0.0001 mg/dL). The lowess for the standardized deleted residuals by the fitted value showed a quasi-linear relationship. The multiple comparisons (P=0.3) and the Levene’s (P=0.4) tests did not detect probabilistically significant heteroscedasticity of the variance by reference value. The plot of the std. res. by the leverage showed two possible outliers (std. res.&amp;gt;|3|) and no influential observations (Hi&amp;lt;0.5). These diagnostics proved the aptness of the POLS model. The harmonization between the two instruments was verified with patient specimens. The orthogonal regression model showed in the interval 3-6 mg/dL a quasi-linear relationship between the values as obtained with the two instruments. The orthogonal regression line (y=0.1+1.02 n) and the OLS regression line (y=0.03+601 n) were very similar. There was no probabilistically significant lack-of-fit (P=0.5). The plot of the std. res. by the leverage showed one possible outlier (std.res.&amp;gt;|3|) and no influential observations. Additionally, the plot of the relative differences between the values as obtained with b221#9371 and b221#24796 by the values as obtained with b221#9371 showed only one value exceeding half of the total allowable error. Conclusions The POLS model clearly showed that the calibration lines for the two instruments were quasi-linear in the interval 2-10 mg/dL and reproducible within and between instruments. Additionally, this reliable performance was verified with patient specimens in the interval 3-6 mg/dL. The differences between values as obtained with each instrument were within half of the CLIA’s total allowable error. This clearly showed that equality of calibration lines ensured interchangeable patient values between instruments. Finally, electronic transfer of data and the availability of statistical software like Minitab was crucial for conducting this study.
