The molecular profile people of different ages in «normal» and with dilated cardiomyopathy

Background: Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCMP) is a cardiovascular pathology promising for consideration as a clinical model of premature aging of the body. According to the literature, sirtuins-1, 2, 3, 6; melatonin and its receptors (MT-1 and MT-2); markers of cellular aging (proteins p16, p21) and apoptosis (BAX) may have clinical significance for assessing premature aging of the body on the DCMP model. A comparative study of the expression of these molecules in people of different ages, depending on the presence of DCMP, has not been conducted before. The aim of the study: To identify and compare molecular profiles by the level of expression of the studied signaling molecules in the buccal epithelium and autopsy material of the myocardium in people of different ages with the absence of cardiovascular diseases and the presence of dilated cardiomyopathy. Materials and methods: A study of buccal epithelium (174 people) and autopsy material of myocardium (175 people) in patients aged 45-89 years for the expression of signaling molecules: sirtuins 1, 2, 3, 6, proteins p16, p21 and BAX, was conducted. Methods of immunocytochemical and immunohistochemical studies were used. Groups of middle, elderly and senile age with DCMP and without a history of cardiovascular pathology were identified. Results: Characteristic changes in the molecular profile (the level of the studied signaling molecules) in the buccal epithelium associated with age and the presence of DCMP were revealed: in middle–aged patients – a decrease in the expression of sirtuins 3 and 6 by 2,2-2,3 times, melatonin by 1,8 times and its receptors by 1,4-2,5 times; in elderly patients – a decrease in the expression of sirtuins 1 and 3 by 2,5 times; sirtuin 2 by 2,3 times; melatonin and its receptors by 1,4-1,8 times; in elderly patients – a decrease in the expression of sirtuins 3 and 6 by 3,0-4,7 times; sirtuins 1 and 2 by 6,7-7,3 times; melatonin by 2,8 times; MT-1 – 4,1 times and MT-2 – 23,7 times. An increase in the expression of p16 and BAX proteins by 0,6-0,8 times in the buccal epithelium has additional diagnostic information in the diagnosis of DCMP in individuals of different age groups. There is a correlation between changes in the expression of these molecules in the buccal epithelium and the autopsy material of the myocardium. Conclusion: Molecular profiles in people of different age groups, determined by the level of expression of the studied signaling molecules, significantly differ depending on the presence of DCMP. It is characteristic that the direction of changes in the buccal epithelium is similar to the corresponding molecular profile in the autopsy material of the myocardium.

Localized osteophytic changes in the thoracic vertebra: an osteological and cadaveric study

Vertebral spinal osteophytes remain an urgent problem for clinicians of various specialties due to the fact that they can cause problems with food consumption, breathing, and sometimes cause compression of blood vessels and spinal cord. Clinical presentations encompass pain, often radiating, reduced function, stiffness, tenderness in the joints, limited movement, nerve compression, and bone pressing against tissues. Vertebral osteophytes are frequently observed in cadaveric anatomy and skeletal remains. Many instances go untreated or undetected. Several cross-sectional and prospective studies have been conducted and published concerning the cervical and lumbar spine. The current study was carried out to observe the incidence of osteophytes in the thoracic vertebrae and to document their frequency of distribution and prevalence. To study the frequency of distribution of thoracic osteophytes was reviewed in 25 cadavers (over a period of 5 years) & 188 dry thoracic vertebras (T1-T12) of south Indian population of unknown age & sex at the Department of Anatomy, MVJ MC& RH, Bangalore. The study meticulously enumerates the positions of osteophytes across different thoracic levels, aiming to investigate and understand their recurrence patterns. Incidence was expressed in terms of frequency and percentage. Incidence of osteophytes was documented in 6 cadavers and 33 dry bones which accounts for 24 % and 17.6 % respectively. Out of these, majority of them were recognized on to right side than on left side of the vertebras. The frequency of osteophytes was most commonly seen at mid thoracic level (T4-T8) followed by T9, T10 and T2. The data we received allow us to form an idea not only about the prevalence of vertebral spinal osteophytes in general, but also about the specific features of their location. Knowledge regarding the thoracic osteophytes is further required for detailed study along with dry bones. A comparative analysis of the prevalence of vertebral spinal osteophytes among people of different specialties, different ethnicities and age groups is important in further research, which will complement the obtained results.

Age differences in the context of climate change: Does exposure to a fake consensus statement make a difference?

The present study examined whether people of different age groups respond differently to a true versus fake consensus statement concerning climate change. In total, 309 participants were randomly exposed to a true consensus statement about climate change and 311 were exposed to a false statement. Subsequently, respondents were asked to respond to items about attitudes, feelings, and behavioral intentions concerning climate change. Compared with younger people, older persons are significantly more concerned about climate change, more likely to report that climate change is real and more willing to take climate change action. Nevertheless, older persons also are more likely to be willing to post both fake and truthful information about climate change, thus, possibly serving as spreaders of both fake and truthful information. The findings suggest that it is younger people who will benefit from further education about climate change and older people who may benefit from education about the spread of information in social media. Our findings also suggest that simply providing individuals with consensus information has only limited impact on their climate change attitudes, feelings and behavioral intentions.

Heart Disease Prediction using Effective Machine Learning Techniques

In today’s era deaths due to heart disease has become a major issue approximately one person dies per minute due to heart disease. This is considering both male and female category and this ratio may vary according to the region also this ratio is considered for the people of age group 25-69. This does not indicate that the people with other age group will not be affected by heart diseases. This problem may start in early age group also and predict the cause and disease is a major challenge nowadays. Here in this paper, we have discussed various algorithms and tools used for prediction of heart diseases.

The Reciprocal Relationship Between Depression and Sleep Disturbance Among People in Different Age Groups

Depression and sleep disturbance are both factors that affect people’s health worldwide. Depression and sleep disturbance can lead to health impairments. This article briefly reviews studies regarding depression, sleep disturbance, and different age groups. This article focuses on the reciprocal relationship between depression and sleep disturbance among young and old adults. The causes of depression are various and differ between young and old adults. Young adults often experience depression because of the drastic shift as they first undergo adulthood. Old adults experience depression because of the helplessness brought by aging. The two age groups experience depression mainly because of the sudden change in life. Late-life depression is characterized by being underdiagnosed and untreated because late-life depression is often comorbid with other medical conditions. Therefore, depression in the elderly is easily mistaken for a normal aging medical illness. Depression and sleep disturbance are highly associated, but the types of sleep disturbance shown in different age groups are different. Studies also suggest a reciprocal relationship between depression and sleep disturbance. Depression could cause sleep disturbance, and sleep disturbance could be a risk factor for depression.

Text analysis of billboards and infographic graphics advertising COVID-19 on promoting preventive behaviors and taking vaccination against the coronavirus pandemic and investigating the opinions of the Iranian adult population

BackgroundAdvertising is one of the most important solutions that health centers and medical services around the world use to try to encourage public opinion to create a positive attitude towards preventive measures and vaccination. This study has been done with the aim of text analysis of billboards and infographics related to promoting preventive behaviors and vaccination against the coronavirus pandemic and providing solutions and models for preventive information and advertising in the field of health.MethodsThe study method in this research is a combination of qualitative and content analysis. Data collection was done in a targeted manner. The sample size includes 33 advertising billboards and infographics. Data collection has been done through searching the sites and websites of health networks and medical education centers in Iran, taking pictures of infographics and billboards in public places, and also receiving archive files of pictures from the public relations of health networks and medical services. The data was collected from February 19, 2020 to December 30, 2022 (the time frame of the pandemic and public vaccination program in Iran). The data was analyzed based on the three-dimensional discourse analysis theory of Fairclough. Then, an online survey about promoting preventive behaviors and vaccination against the coronavirus pandemic in the format of billboards and infographics was designed in SurveyMonkey and its link was provided to the audience through virtual networks and other platforms. The age group of people was selected from 18 to 70 years. Considering that the number of participants should be representative of the entire community under investigation, therefore, based on Cochran’s formula, the sample size was equal to 350 people. Finally, users’ opinions were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The assessment of validity involved experts in infection control and linguistics. The reliability of the measurement, determined through the Cronbach’s alpha internal consistency coefficient, yielded a coefficient of 0.968.ResultsThe results show that among the four linguistic components of words, syntax, coherence and text structure; “live metaphors”, “pronoun “we”, “collocation and reference”, and “attitude markers” have the most impact on the audience. The frequency percentage of the data shows that these language elements have tremendous power in attracting the audience to perform preventive behaviors. The results show that the language reflects the culture, opinions and needs of people in the society. Also, the results show that encouraging people to perform preventive behaviors should be through the integration of medical information with motivational linguistic factors in order to attract the audience more.ConclusionsIt can be concluded that the use of the appropriate pattern of medical advertising discourse and correct communication strategies, will help public participation in the field of epidemic control. The language of effective health education and health communication during an epidemic must be related to the ways of thinking and speaking of ordinary people. Also, words with metaphorical and ironic meanings have a high potential to influence the health performance of people in society and increase public awareness of health communication. Therefore, using them to create a new value system with the aim of controlling and overcoming the consequences of the epidemic is very effective.

LEVELS OF SITUATIONAL AND PERSONAL ANXIETY IN OLDER AGE GROUPS

The prevalence of anxiety disorders in older age groups is becoming a significant burden on public health. Compared with other age groups, elderly people suffering from mental illness, especially with anxiety disorders, often remain without proper diagnosis and treatment. Underestimation of anxiety disorder and its insufficient therapy can create difficulties in correcting general medical problems and be a factor in the progression of somatic disease. Purpose. To study age-related characteristics of levels of situational and personal anxiety in people of older age groups. Materials and methods. The present study involved patients with arterial hypertension aged 45 to 90 years. A total of 535 patients were examined of which 266 people. we made up an elderly group and 103 people – a group of senile age. Using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) questionnaire designed for self-assessment of various levels of anxiety, the severity of personal and situational anxiety was assessed. Results. The frequency of situational and personal anxiety varied in the range from 3.25% to 40.4% and was slightly lower in people of older age groups. Among men of older age groups, the frequency of increased and pronounced levels of personal anxiety was statistically significantly higher in comparison with women of the same age group. Both among women and among older men pronounced levels of situational anxiety were more common in comparison with persons of younger age groups. Conclusion. In people of older age groups, the severity of levels of personal and situational anxiety depended on the age and gender of the subjects.

A review article on Katrigraha vis-à-vis Mechanical low back pain and its management through Ayurveda

In the present society, all age group people experience back pain, which is brought on by an unhealthy food and way of life. In Ayurveda, this ailment is compared to Katigraha, one of the Vataja Nanatmaja Vyadhi. It is a condition where pain and stiffness are brought on by Shuddha Vata or Sama Vata, which are concentrated in Kati Pradesha. Modern science says that actions like lifting heavy objects, bending, having poor posture, being sedentary, etc. cause Mechanical low back pain. It is usually limited to the lumbosacral region, buttock, or thigh and doesn't go past the knees. Modern medical treatments for low back pain have their own disadvantages and weren't effective over the long term. The Ayurvedic Chikitsa Sutra of Katigraha includes a description of Snehana, Swedana, Shamana, and Conventional Rasayana in addition to a healthy food and way of life. The breadth of Ayurvedic treatment for Katigraha shall be the main topic of the current paper.

Epidemiological Characteristics of Lung Cancer Incidence in the Tumor Registration Area of Gansu Province from 2010 to 2019

Lung cancer is the malignant tumor with the highest incidence rate and the heaviest disease burden in China. In recent years, lung cancer has shown a high incidence trend, seriously affecting the health of the population. In this paper, we analyze the characteristics of lung cancer incidence in 2019 and the trend of incidence rate from 2010-2019 in the tumor registration area of Gansu province, in order to provide a reference basis for the development of lung cancer prevention and control strategies in Gansu province. By analyzing the cases of lung cancer incidence in the tumor registration area of Gansu province in 2019, we calculated the incidence rate, medium incidence rate, world incidence rate and other related indexes; we used Joinpoint to calculate the annual percentage change (APC) for trend analysis. In 2019, a total of 3757 new cases of lung cancer were reported in Gansu province, accounting for 14.96% of all new malignant tumors. The incidence rate, medium incidence rate and world incidence rate and world rate of lung cancer were 40.52/10⁵, 25.78/10⁵, 25.86/10⁵; and the cumulative rate of 0-74 years old, and the truncation rate of 35-64 years old were 3.23%, 40.03/10⁵, respectively. The incidence of lung cancer rises with age, and is high in the age group of 40 years and above, and the incidence peaks in the male and female populations in the group of 75 years and above, and the group of 80 years and above, respectively. The crude incidence rate of lung cancer in the tumor registration area of Gansu province from 2010-2019 showed an overall increasing trend, and the rate of increase was relatively fast, with an APC 5.39% (P<0.05); Separately, according to gender, urban and rural areas, the incidence of lung cancer in all populations showed an increasing trend, and the APC of male, female, urban and rural populations were 4.98%, 6.39%, 6.26%, and 4.64%, respectively (all P<0.05). According to the trend analysis of lung cancer incidence rate by age group, only lung cancer incidence in the age group of 65 years and above increased at an annual average rate of 4.15% (P<0.05). The incidence rate of lung cancer in the tumor registration area of Gansu province from 2010 to 2019 shows a rising trend year by year, and there are differences in the incidence of lung cancer in people of different genders, regions and age groups, so comprehensive prevention and control work should be carried out for the key populations of lung cancer incidence.

The study the severity and duration of immune response in people of different age groups after SARS-CoV-2 revaccination.Material and methods. The study was carried out as part of the prospective registry Saturn, which included persons who received various SARS-CoV-2 revaccination regimens (homoand heterologous) based on the combination of two vaccines: Gam-COVID-Vac and Covivac. Group I (n=106) included persons who received a homologous revaccination with Gam-COVID-Vac, while group II (n=54) — heterologous revaccination with Gam-COVID-Vac and Covivac, group III (n=40) — homologous Covivac revaccination. In addition, all participants in the study were divided into two age categories: ≥60 years (n=33) and &lt;60 years, (n=167). In all participants, the medical history was collected. At each visit, we assessed the quantitative level of specific IgG SARS-CoV-2 S-protein antibodies and plasma coagulation using the thrombodynamics method. At visits 1, 3 and 5, blood was collected to assess T-cell immunity activity (T-Spot.COVID test, Oxford Immunotec) to the SARS-CoV-2 virus.Results. Revaccination in persons ≥60 years of age ensures the intensity of humoral (quantitative level of specific IgG SARS-CoV-2 S-protein antibodies) and cellular immunity (quantitative assessment of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein-specific (panel A) and nucleocapsid-specific T-lymphocytes) comparable to that in younger individuals (&lt;60 years). Revaccination did not increase the plasma thrombogenic potential in vaccinated people, regardless of age.Conclusion. In the group of vaccinated people ≥60 years old, an adequate humoral and cellular immune response was developed, which persisted for a year after revaccination, and even more intense cellular immunity was demonstrated compared to vaccinated people &lt;60 years old. The plasma thrombogenic potential did not increase during vaccination and revaccination, regardless of age.

A Comprehensive Framework for Measuring the Immediate Impact of TV Advertisements: TV-Impact.

Measuring the immediate impact of television advertisements (TV ads) on online traffic poses significant challenges in many aspects. Nonetheless, a comprehensive consideration is essential to fully grasp consumer reactions to TV ads. So far, the measurement of this effect has not been studied to a large extent. Existing studies have either determined how a specific focus group, i.e., toddlers, people of a certain age group, etc., react to ads via simple statistical tests using a case study approach or have examined the effects of advertising with simple regression models. This study introduces a comprehensive framework called TV-Impact. The framework uses a Bayesian structural time-series model called CausalImpact. There are additional novel approaches developed within the framework. One of the novelties of TV-Impact lies in its dynamic algorithm for selecting control variables which are supporting data sources and presumed to be unaffected by TV ads. In addition, we proposed the concept of Group Ads to combine overlapping ads into a single ad structure. Then, Random Forest Regressor, which is a commonly preferred supervised learning method, is used to decompose the impact into single ads. The TV-Impact framework was applied to the data of iLab, a venture company in Turkey, and manages its companies' advertising strategies. The findings reveal that the TV-Impact model positively influenced the companies' strategies for allocating their TV advertisement budgets and increased the amount of traffic driven to company websites, serving as an effective decision support system.

Association of 10 Genetic Variations and 10 Environmental Factors with Myopia of Different Severities in Different Age Groups of People in Northeast China.

To investigate the association of 10 genetic variations and 10 environmental factors with myopia of different severities in different age groups of children and adolescents in northeast China. Parental history and genetic testing for myopia-related susceptibility genes were carried out in a cohort of children and adolescents aged 2-17 years. In addition, 10 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) sites for genotyping and 10 environmental risk factors were selected, and the differences between site variation and environmental factors in different age groups with different degrees of myopia were explored. A total of 2497 volunteers were recruited, including 2023 myopes and 474 non-myopes in the control group. From the cohort, 1160 subjects were sequenced for myopia SNP sites. Compared with the non-myopic group, the myopia of parents, outdoor activity less than 60 min per day, and a high-sugar diet were risk factors for developing myopia. Two syntrophin beta 1 (SNTB1) sites, rs4455882 and rs6469937 were found to be significantly associated with moderate myopia; fibroblast growth factor 10 (FGF10) rs339501 was significantly correlated with high myopia; and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) rs5742714 was significantly correlated with different degrees of myopia in the age group of <6 years. Finally, the FGF10 gene rs339501 SNP was significantly associated with moderate myopia and mild myopia in the 6- to 12-year-old age group. Our results indicate that myopia is affected by both environmental and genetic factors. To prevent and control myopia, attention should be paid to the parental history of myopia, a high-sugar diet should be avoided, and outdoor time should be adjusted according to the average daily sunshine. In addition, it is necessary to pay attention to the increased risk of myopia in school-age children caused by SNTB1 rs4455882, FGF10 rs339501, and IGF1 rs5742714.

Investigation of the Adverse Health Effects of Cell Phone Radiation and Propose Solutions to Minimize Them: A Systematic Review.

Today, mobile phones are one of the most common devices emitting electromagnetic radiation and are available to more than seven billion people in different age groups around the world. The effects of electromagnetic radiation on biological systems have been studied for several years. In this systematic review to find relevant articles, international databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct, Web of Science, and Cochrane were used since 2007-2022 by selecting appropriate keywords. The result revealed that exposure to cell phone radiation can lead to disturb in the metabolic activity of the cerebellum by increasing the migration of granulosa cells, decrease the water around the fetus in pregnant women, decrease in the number of blood plates, increasing levels of ALT and AST that they are the key biomarkers of liver damage, decrease of phagocytosis and induced apoptosis of neutrophils, changes at the level of glucose and even at the microscopic level of pancreas this may be a predisposing factor for diabetes, increment in tissue temperature in all depth of the brain tissue, EMF increase the volume, weight, and atresia follicles of the ovaries of the children, also it can cause oxidative stress, DNA fragmentation, etc. Mobile phone radiation is harmful and depends on its intensity, frequency, wave type, and exposure duration. It can cause different biological effects in humans. Due to the uncertainty of the results and mechanism of the effect of these waves, research in this field is still ongoing.

Asthenic disorders correction with Recognan

Asthenia, asthenic syndrome, asthenic condition, asthenic reaction, asthenic disorders are terms that describe the state of «impotence». Fatigue that occurs against the background of habitual physical or intellectual stress for a person, and persists after rest, is asthenia. For people of the older age group, the term senile asthenia syndrome is used. Asthenia manifests itself with increased fatigue and exhaustion, mood instability, increased irritability, sleep disorders. Asthenic conditions manifest themselves along with a decrease in physical activity, increased cognitive and mental fatigue. Asthenic syndrome (AS) are considered as an integral part of cardiovascular diseases (CVD), as one of the manifestations of cerebrovascular pathology. Senile asthenia syndrome (SAS) is a geriatric syndrome characterized by an age-associated decrease in the physiological reserve and functions of many body systems, including cognitive functions. One of the drugs that has a positive effect on the severity of AS and improves the state of cognitive functions is the domestic drug Recognan (citicoline). The effectiveness of Recognan in the treatment of AS in patients with CVD, SAS, and post-COVID asthenia has been shown. It is recommended to prescribe Recognan orally at 500 mg / day for 30 days. Recognan has a nootropic and antiasthenic effect.
