Keratoconus: exploring fundamentals and future perspectives - a comprehensive systematic review.

New developments in artificial intelligence, particularly with promising results in early detection and management of keratoconus, have favorably altered the natural history of the disease over the last few decades. Features of artificial intelligence in different machine such as anterior segment optical coherence tomography, and femtosecond laser technique have improved safety, precision, effectiveness, and predictability of treatment modalities of keratoconus (from contact lenses to keratoplasty techniques). These options ingrained in artificial intelligence are already underway and allow ophthalmologist to approach disease in the most non-invasive way. This study comprehensively describes all of the treatment modalities of keratoconus considering machine learning strategies. A multidimensional comprehensive systematic narrative review. A comprehensive search was done in the five main electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane), without language and time or type of study restrictions. Afterward, eligible articles were selected by screening the titles and abstracts based on main mesh keywords. For potentially eligible articles, the full text was also reviewed. Artificial intelligence demonstrates promise in keratoconus diagnosis and clinical management, spanning early detection (especially in subclinical cases), preoperative screening, postoperative ectasia prediction after keratorefractive surgery, and guiding surgical decisions. The majority of studies employed a solitary machine learning algorithm, whereas minor studies assessed multiple algorithms that evaluated the association of various keratoconus staging and management strategies. Last but not least, AI has proven effective in guiding the implantation of intracorneal ring segments in keratoconus corneas and predicting surgical outcomes. The efficient and widespread clinical translation of machine learning models in keratoconus management is a crucial goal of potential future approaches to better visual performance in keratoconus patients. The article has been registered through PROSPERO, an international database of prospectively registered systematic reviews, with the ID: CRD42022319338.

Propolis and its therapeutic effects on renal diseases: A review.

Propolis is produced by bees using a mixture of bees wax and saliva. It contains several bioactive compounds that mainly induce anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. In this review, we aimed to investigate the effects of propolis on kidney diseases. We used "Kidney", "Disease", "Propolis", "Renal", "Constituent", "Mechanism", "Infection", and other related keywords as the main keywords to search for works published before July 2023 in Google scholar, Scopus, and Pubmed databases. The search terms were selected according to Medical Subject Headings (MeSH). This review showed that propolis affects renal disorders with inflammatory and oxidative etiology due to its bioactive compounds, mainly flavonoids and polyphenols. There have been few studies on the effects of propolis on kidney diseases; nevertheless, the available studies are integrated in this review. Overall, propolis appears to be effective against several renal diseases through influencing mechanisms such as apoptosis, oxidative balance, and inflammation.

Koreans’ Reception of Japanese Cultural Contents Revealed through Text Mining

This paper analyzes how Koreans perceive Japanese cultural contents and popular culture, and what kind of image they have formed of it. For this purpose, this study used the blog of NAVER, Korea’s largest portal site, as its research subject, and collected and analyzed data from it using text mining. The word frequency and N-gram analysis results of the data collected in this study are as follows. The main keywords in this data are roughly divided into a cluster representing Japanese cultural contents/popular culture, a cluster of keywords representing Koreans’ attitude toward or opportunity to access and encounter it, and a cluster of keywords representing the relationship of Japanese culture with Korean culture. In particular, the salient fact that emerges from these keywords is that the Japanese pop culture openness policy of 1998 has been a very important development for Koreans in terms of their relationship with Japanese cultural contents. In this respect, there is a tendency to think of Japanese cultural contents and popular culture from the perspective of Korea-Japan cultural exchange and the mutual understanding between the two countries. Meanwhile, the results of this study’s Sentiment Analysis showed that there were an overwhelming number of keywords expressing positive emotions in the data on Japanese cultural contents and popular culture.

Correlation between physical activity and adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: a systematic review

BackgroundThe multifactorial aetiology of scoliosis is well known. Physical activity is considered both a treatment and causative factor for idiopathic scoliosis; however, evidence for a causal relationship between physical activity levels and idiopathic scoliosis in adolescents is conflicting. Therefore, we aimed to summarise the current evidence regarding the association between adolescent idiopathic scoliosis and physical activity and further to assess whether the relationship is dose dependent.MethodsPubMed, Cochrane, Scopus, and Web of Science databases were searched from 1991 to July 2022 using the following main keywords: adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, physical activity, and risk factors, supplemented with manual searches, secondary citations, and reference searches. The quality of the included literature was evaluated using the Scale for Reporting Observational Studies in Enhanced Epidemiology guidelines.ResultsEight studies were included in this review, of which six reported an association between adolescent idiopathic scoliosis and physical activity levels and two reported no association. One British study reported reduced physical function early in life as a new risk factor for scoliosis onset.ConclusionsPhysical activity is strongly associated with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Physical activity should be encouraged as it plays an important role in the prevention of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Further research is needed to determine the dose-dependent relationship between physical activity and prevention of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.

Plastic Waste Management: A Bibliometric Analysis (1992–2022)

Plastic waste management has emerged as an urgent global challenge, that has attracted significant attention from researchers, policymakers, and stakeholders. Conducting a bibliometric study on this issue aims to provide a holistic and in-depth bibliometric mapping and analysis of plastic waste management, carefully traced through the Web of Science. Expansive data comprising scientific production by researchers, country/region contributions, affiliations, author references, and topical trends were meticulously scrutinized using the VOSviewer software (version 1.6.15). The exploration of bibliometric studies in plastic waste management is still limited, and this forms the basis of our commitment to explore this field in more depth. The findings in this study showed a progressive increase in the number of published works from 1992 to 2022, using the main keyword “plastic waste management” and 13,103 documents were found that were further analyzed. This demonstrates the profound impact of Chinese scientists on plastic waste management research, as evidenced by their prevalence as top affiliated authors. Given the increasing concern and heightened government and societal attention towards plastic pollution and water contamination, effective waste management, with a particular focus on plastic waste, emerged as the most influential keyword. This comprehensive analysis contributes to the existing literature by highlighting key trends and the urgent need for concerted efforts to address the challenges posed by plastic waste.

A Comprehensive Overview of the Past, Current, and Future Randomized Controlled Trials in Hepatic Encephalopathy.

Background: Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) caused by cirrhosis has severe consequences on an individual's lifespan, leading to long-term liver complications and potentially life-threatening outcomes. Despite recent interest in this condition, the effectiveness of secondary prophylaxis involving rixafimin, lactulose, or L-ornithine L-aspartate (LOLA) may be hindered by the unique microbial profiles each patient possesses. Methods: Thus, in this manuscript, we aimed to search, identify, and gather all randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published between 2000-2023 (November) in four major academic databases such as PubMed, ISI Web of Science, Scopus, and ScienceDirect by using a controlled terminology and web strings that reunite six main keywords. We complementarily retrieved data on the ongoing RCTs. Results: Regardless of the relatively high number of results displayed (n = 75), 46.66% (n = 35) were initially deemed eligible after the first evaluation phase after removing duplicates, n = 40 (53.34%). At the second assessment stage, we eliminated 11.42% (n = 4) studies, of which n = 22 finally met the eligibility criteria to be included in the main body of the manuscript. In terms of RCTs, otherwise found in distinct stages of development, n = 3 target FMT and n = 1 probiotics. Conclusions: Although we benefit from the necessary information and technology to design novel strategies for microbiota, only probiotics and synbiotics have been extensively studied in the last decade compared to FMT.

포스트 코로나 시대에서의 위험의 이주화 문제 개선을 위한 시론적 연구

The purpose of this study is to analyze the problem of migration of risks related to migrant workers, which is increasing again in industrial sites entering the post-COVID-19 era, and explore ways to improve it. While the experiences experienced during the coronavirus pandemic have catalyzed raising awareness of safety and health in society as a whole, it is expected that the migration of risks due to the shortage of production workers will be revitalized in industrial sites beyond the outsourcing of risks through subcontracting. As the safety and health issues related to migrant workers are important in the global society under the International Labour Organization (ILO), I tried to examine the problems and ways to improve them. As a research method, I used a literature review and news trends, and keyword analysis. First, I analyzed previous studies on the migration of risks to identify issues and then conducted a trend analysis and keyword analysis of domestic articles on the migration of risks for the past five years, including the coronavirus period. Until April 2023, there was only one previous study on the migration of risks found through the RISS search, and the search term analysis of domestic newspaper articles for the last five years (April 2018-March 2023) found a total of 16 articles, and the main keywords were employment permit system, worker, employer, and work permit system. It is expected that addressing the migration of risks will be challenging unless there is a substantial improvement in societal perceptions of migrant workers, such as low awareness, hatred, and supremacism, and the results of this study can be used to provide suggestions for policy improvement.

Even though there have been various efforts for solving the issue of elder abuse such as the government amended the Elderly Welfare Act and also established the elder abuse policies, and private institutions are providing elder abuse preventive services, the elder abuse is gradually increasing. Thus, as a fundamental approach for solving the issue of elder abuse which becomes aggravated day by day, this study analyzed domestic press report articles to understand the general awareness and trend of elder abuse in our society. In the research method, this study utilized big data analysis data and its analysis system called BIGKinds. The analysis data was divided into two sections based on 2017 when Korea entered the aged society. Section 1 is the period of aging society from 2011 to 2016 while Section 2 is the period of aged society from 2017 to 2022. The press articles collected for six years in each period were analyzed. After collecting total 5,333 articles of Section 1 and 5,630 articles of Section 2, this study conducted the keyword trend analysis, relation analysis, and related word analysis. The main results of this study are as follows. First, in the results of the keyword trend analysis, during the whole period, the most articles were reported in 2016(1,168), which was followed by 2017(1,122) and 2021(1,093) in order. Second, in the results of the relation analysis, the main keywords of Section 1 were the Elder Welfare Act, mandated reporter & reporter, and world elder abuse & world elder abuse awareness. The main keywords of Section 2 were the Elder Welfare Act, mandated reporter, COVID-19 & Corona, and anti-abuse police officer. Third, in the results of the related word analysis, the keywords commonly shown in each section were the Ministry of Health and Welfare, assailant, spouse, aging, social problem, UN, social interest, business agreement, nursing home, and elder abuse state report. Fourth, in the results of the related word analysis, the keywords solely shown in Section 1 were economic, mandated reporter, victim, children, offsprings, revised bill, INPEA(International Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse), elderly, and elderly care institution while the keywords solely shown in Section 2 were ceremony, the National Police Agency, protection of human rights, growing trend, aged society, nursing facilities, economic exploitation, worker, police station, and care worker. For improving the awareness of elder abuse and preventing elder abuse, this study suggested the revision of the Elder Welfare Act, enactment of laws related to elder abuse, seeking the measures for vitalizing mandated report of elder abuse, regular activities for spreading the social awareness of elder abuse, and strengthening the care service for reducing elder abuse by spouse.

Comparison of visual improvement based on the Potential Visual Test "Retinometry" in patients with Posterior Capsular Opacity Fibrotic and Regenerative types before and after Nd YAG Laser Capsulotomy

Background: Posterior Capsular Opacity (PCO) can disrupt a patient's vision and is a prevalent challenge medical professionals face in restoring visual clarity after cataract surgery. Various evaluation methods can be employed to measure visual improvement and the efficacy of Nd: YAG Laser Capsulotomy. One such method is Retinometry, which harnesses interference patterns of light on the retina as light passes through the pupil to provide patients with relevant information regarding the potential outcomes of Nd: YAG Laser Capsulotomy. This study aims to review the efficacy of the potential vision test "Retinometry" in patients with posterior capsular opacity before and after Nd: YAG Laser Capsulotomy. Methods: Literature searching was conducted using six online databases (PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct, Clinical Key, and Google Scholar). Search terms included a combination of main keywords: "Retinometer", "Posterior Capsulotomy", "Nd: YAG laser", and "Visual Acuity". Results: A total of 5 articles were included in this review. It’s found that the retinometer visual potential test has a function in evaluating the effects that occur and visual function after Nd: YAG laser capsulotomy. Due to the increasing incidence of cataract surgery, the rise of IOL placement will increase the risk of PCO formation and the need for Nd: YAG capsulotomy. Conclusion: Posterior Capsular Opacity (PCO) management remains a significant concern in patients post-cataract surgery, given its potential to disrupt visual acuity. Neodymium-doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (Nd: YAG) laser capsulotomy is a practical approach for addressing PCO-related visual impairment. Still, its impact on visual improvement may be modest, especially regarding refractive measurements. The type of lens used does not significantly influence the procedure outcomes. As the incidence of cataract surgery continues to rise, the prevalence of PCO and the need for Nd: YAG capsulotomy are likely to increase.
