Body image and sexual life satisfaction in women considering female genital cosmetic surgery in Iran

BackgroundFurther attention to genital organs has become a concern for women in line with changes in society’s culture. In recent years, the number of surgeries has grown increasingly. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between body image and satisfaction with sexual life of female genital cosmetic surgery volunteers in reproductive age women in Shiraz.MethodsThis cross-sectional study was performed on 160 women referring to Shiraz Health and Medical Centers willing to undergo female genital cosmetic surgery. Data collection was performed using Demographic Information Questionnaire, SWBI and Enrich Marital Satisfaction Questionnaire. The data were analyzed through Spss24 software using Pearson statistical methods of correlation coefficient and one-sample t-test.ResultsThis cross-sectional study was conducted on 160 women (average age of 30.83 ± 5.48) willing to undergo genital cosmetic surgery at Shiraz health and medical centers. The results of this study showed that women willing to undergo female genital cosmetic surgery are satisfied with their physical appearance. Correlation coefficient test between body image and satisfaction with marital life also showed that there is a significant relationship between these two variables (p < 0.001). This means that with the satisfaction of body image, the level of satisfaction with marital life also increases.ConclusionThe most important findings of this study included no correlation between women’s negative perceptions of their bodies and dissatisfaction with sexual life with a tendency to cosmetic surgery on the genital area. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the factors influencing this decision.

CMV Reactivation Following Allogeneic Transplantation in Children From a High-Seroprevalence Population: A Single-Center Experience in Colombia.

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is a frequent complication among hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients. Data regarding CMV reactivation in children in underdeveloped countries is scarce. This is especially notable considering the increasing utilization of haploidentical-related HSCT with the post-transplant cyclophosphamide platform. This study aimed to describe the incidence, clinical characteristics, and evolution of children with CMV reactivation after HSCT and the possible impact of unmanipulated stem cells with PTCy for GvHD prophylaxis. Retrospective cohort study of children undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from January 2012 to June 2022. Baseline characteristics and the clinical course were described. Duration of treatment, initial viral load, and time to clearance of DNAemia by type of transplant were compared using the Kruskal-Wallis test. Survival analysis was performed with the Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test. All statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software, version 20.0. One hundred sixty-six children were included. Among them, 87% of recipients and 88% of donors were CMV positive. The cumulative incidence of cytomegalovirus DNAemia was 28% at 100 days post-transplantation. There were no differences between different donor types. Overall survival at 1 year was 60%, and non-relapse mortality was observed in 28%. CMV reactivation did not appear to negatively impact 1-year overall survival (OS). Our study found no differences in CMV reactivation rates, treatment duration, viral clearance times, co-infections, or 1-year overall survival across different HSCT donor types. Studies are needed to establish more precise criteria for monitoring recipients, particularly in regions where unmanipulated stem cells with PTCy for GvHD prophylaxis are increasing.

Claudin 18.2 determination in locally advanced gastric and gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

492 Background: Gastric and esophago-gastric adenocarcinoma (GAC) represent a major unmet need. For tumors amenable with curative intent, prognosis remains poor with 5-year survival rates below 40%. Several strategies have been added to surgery including peri-operative chemotherapy which represents the standard of care for locally advanced GAC. Claudins is a family of transmembrane junctional proteins which acts in paracellular permeability, transport and communication. Claudin 18.2 (CLDN), a tissue-specific variant, is physiologically expressed in both gastric mucosa and gastric cancer. In metastatic GAC, CLDN positivity settles around 40% of cases and the addition of target therapy zolbetuximab to chemotherapy resulted in a significant improvement in overall survival. However, limited data are present about CLDN in early-stage disease. The aim of our study is to assess rates of expression of CDLN in locally advanced GAC treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and correlate it with clinical outcomes. Methods: We conducted a multi-omics prospective trial at IEO enrolling patients with locally advanced GAC treated with peri-operative chemotherapy and surgery. Pre-chemotherapy endoscopic samples were selected for CDLN determination. Positive cases were defined as moderate-to-strong membranous staining in ≥ 75% of tumor cells by IHC using the VENTANA CLDN18 (43-14A) Assay. CLDN expression was analyzed for correlation with pathologic complete response (pCR), tumor regression grade (TRG), event‐free survival (EFS), and overall survival (OS). Survival was calculated using Kaplan–Meier method and log-rank tests. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS software (version 29.0.2.0). Results: We included 48 patients, 67% male, median age 62 years (35-78). 31 tumors originated from gastric body, 14 from the junctional region and 4 from distal esophagus. Most frequent histotypes were diffuse (43%) and tubular (39%). Five cases (11%) presented microsatellite instability. All patients received neoadjuvant chemotherapy, mainly FLOT (92%) and underwent surgery, with 93% of R0 resection. Three patients (6%) achieved pCR and 18 had a TRG 1A or B. Of the total, 20 cases were defined as positive (42%). After a median follow-up of 20 months, 12 patients relapsed and 3 died. No significant association was observed for CDLN positivity and pCR or TRG1 rate, as well as for primary site or histotype. PFS and OS were not statistically different according to claudin status, even though numerically shorter in CDLN positive cases (PFS: 31 vs 33 months, p=.43; OS: 36 vs 39 months, p =.10). Conclusions: In our study of locally advanced GAC, rate of CDLN positivity was 40%, similarly to advanced stage. However, no differences in pCR rate, regression grade and survival outcomes have been observed. Larger studies and longer follow-up are required to assess the impact of CDLN in early-stage GAC.

Facilitating cross-cultural translation with ChatGPT in Moroccan travel agencies: a user satisfaction study

In a context of globalization, interactions between individuals of different cultures have become a lived reality. These cultural exchanges often involve mastering multiple languages, which can be quite challenging in multilingual settings. Hence, the integration of technology and artificial intelligence (AI) tools has emerged as an essential solution to bridge linguistic gaps and facilitate effective communication across cultural boundaries. Building upon this premise, this study delves into the perceptions of ChatGPT users regarding its role in translation and intercultural communication. Specifically, it examines the factors shaping user satisfaction with AI in translation and its contribution to fostering intercultural interactions. To achieve this objective, the study focuses on a sample of Moroccan travel agencies engaged in relationships with international partners. Data collection is carried out through questionnaires sent to heads of agencies randomly selected from a database provided by the Ministry of Tourism in 2022. The rationale behind this selection lies in the travel agencies’ unique position as intermediaries between cultures, frequently requiring translation services to conduct their business effectively. Statistical analysis is carried out using SPSS software. The main findings reveal a significant correlation between user satisfaction with ChatGPT and two key variables: perceived ease of use and the quality of its outputs. Notably, users find ChatGPT more satisfying when it is perceived as user-friendly and delivers satisfactory results. However, the selected variables fail to comprehensively explain users’ perceptions of ChatGPT, highlighting the need for further investigation in this area.

Factors Influencing Knowledge and Attitudes towards Second-Hand Smoking Exposure Among University Students: An Exploratory Study.

Despite extensive global research on second-hand smoking (SHS) exposure, there is a noticeable lack of studies focusing on the knowledge and attitudes of university students in Bangladesh. This cross-sectional study aimed to address this gap by assessing the levels of knowledge and attitudes towards SHS exposure among university students in Bangladesh. Utilizing a convenience sampling technique, data were collected from 383 university students, encompassing socio-demographic information, as well as knowledge and attitude-related inquiries. Statistical analyses were conducted using SPSS software, including independent t-tests and analysis of variance (ANOVA) and multiple linear regression. The findings revealed that participants exhibited a moderate level of knowledge and attitude towards SHS exposure. Multiple linear regression identified age, gender, mother's education, and self-rated health status as significant predictors of knowledge, explaining 12.9% of its variance (R2 = 0.129, F = 6.117, P < .001). Furthermore, age, gender, and living with parents emerged as significant predictors of attitude, explaining 14.7% of its variance (R2 = 0.147, F = 7.165, P < .001). The study highlights the need for interventions aimed at enhancing awareness and fostering positive attitudes towards SHS exposure among university students in Bangladesh. It is recommended that university authorities organize seminars and implement health education initiatives targeting vulnerable populations to address the findings and promote a smoke-free environment on campus.

Noninvasive prediction of coronary artery disease severity: Comparative analysis of electrocardiographic findings and risk factors with SYNTAX and Gensini score.

Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains a significant global health burden, characterized by the narrowing or blockage of coronary arteries. Treatment decisions are often guided by angiography-based scoring systems, such as the Synergy Between Percutaneous Coronary Intervention with Taxus and Cardiac Surgery (SYNTAX) and Gensini scores, although these require invasive procedures. This study explores the potential of electrocardiography (ECG) as a noninvasive diagnostic tool for predicting CAD severity, alongside traditional risk factors. This retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted on 348 CAD patients who underwent coronary angiography. Demographic data, ECG findings, SYNTAX, and Gensini scores were collected. The association between ECG findings and demographic information with the severity of coronary artery stenosis, as assessed by SYNTAX and Gensini scores, was investigated using SPSS software, version 23. Significant associations were observed between CAD severity and risk factors such as male gender, diabetes mellitus (DM), and smoking. Additionally, certain ECG indicators, including Q waves and ST depression (STD), showed significant correlations with CAD severity, particularly according to the Gensini score. This study underscores the utility of ECG and clinical factors in identifying severe CAD, offering cost-effective diagnostic alternatives to angiography. Integrating various parameters into a single score is crucial in clinical practice, providing a stronger diagnostic and prognostic tool without increasing costs. Further comprehensive studies are warranted to refine risk prediction models and improve CAD management strategies.

The research population of this study included all patients with acute coronary syndrome hospitalized in the CCU of Shahid Rajaei Hospital affiliated with to Alborz University of Medical Sciences. A total of 60 patients were selected by the available sampling method based on the inclusion criteria and then were divided into 2 control and intervention groups by block randomization method with blocks of 4 (n=30 in the intervention group, and n =30 in the control group). Patients in the intervention groups used blindfolds and earmuffs during the night sleep for 3 nights, but patients in the control group received the routine care. Cortisol and melatonin levels of both groups were measured at 8 am, using the urine samples. The findings of the 2 groups were compared and statistically analyzed by SPSS software version 16. The findings showed no significant difference between the 2 groups in terms of demographic characteristics and clinical variables. The intervention had no effect on the cortisol level of patients in the intervention group (P =.24). After the intervention, a statistically significant difference was observed between the control and intervention groups in terms of the melatonin level in the nocturnal urine (P ≤.001). A statistically significant difference was also observed between the 2 groups in terms of the time taken for patients to fall asleep (P ≤.001) and the number of times waking up at night (P ≤.001). The use of earplugs and eye masks had no impact on the level of cortisol hormone, but it affected the level of melatonin hormone and the sleep quality of patients hospitalized in the CCU.

Prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders and related factors among nurses: A cross-sectional study

This study aimed to evaluate the musculoskeletal disorders caused by work and related factors in nurses. This cross-sectional study investigated and analyzed the prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders and associated factors among nurses working in educational-therapeutic centers in Rasht, Iran, during 2018-2019. A two-part questionnaire was utilized in this study. The first part pertained to demographic characteristics, which the study participants completed. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated from the height and weight measurements the researcher took. The second part of the instrument comprised the Nordic questionnaire. Data description and statistical analyses were performed using SPSS software version 24. In this study, a total of 353 nurses participated. The results of this study indicate that a significant majority (88.1%) of nurses’ experience about the musculoskeletal disorders in various parts of their bodies. Key factors influencing these disorders' prevalence include age, gender, BMI, occupational factors, hospital, and work shift. Among the findings, 72.52% of nurses reported experiencing the musculoskeletal disorders in the past 12 months, while only 7.1% required hospitalization due to these issues. In sum, the high prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders among nurses can be attributed to factors such as heavy workloads, insufficient nursing staff, inappropriate tools and equipment, an unsuitable work environment, and a lack of knowledge regarding ergonomic principles. To address these issues, it is recommended to implement educational interventions, enhance the work environment, eliminate organizational obstacles and deficiencies, and focus on factors that contribute to reducing the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders.

Regional economic level moderates the impact of patients' and family carers' cancer-related work changes and hospital level on financial toxicity in China: A multi-centre cross-sectional study.

To explore how regional economic levels moderate the relationships between cancer-related financial toxicity (FT) and its associated risk factors. A secondary analysis was conducted using data from a cross-sectional survey of 1208 adult patients with cancer, conducted in six tertiary and six secondary hospitals across three Chinese provinces from February to October 2022. The interactions between the regional economic level-categorised as high- or low-/middle-income based on the gross domestic product per capita- and 13 previously identified risk factors for FT were examined via moderation analysis using the PROCESS macro for SPSS software. Regional economic level moderated the impacts of both patients' and family carers' negative work changes due to cancer and the hospital level on FT (all p-values for interaction effect <0.05). Job changes had more severe effects on FT in high-income regions (patients: B=-2.07, standard error [SE]=0.67, p=0.002; carers: B=-1.58, SE=0.66, p=0.017), while treatment in tertiary hospitals had a stronger negative impact on FT in low-/middle-income regions (B=1.81, SE=0.87, p=0.037). These findings highlight the need for region-specific FT mitigation strategies. In high-income regions, more attention could be paid to managing the adverse work-related effects of cancer on patients and their families. In low-/middle-income regions, increased awareness and management of cancer-related FT in tertiary hospitals is needed. Future research should explore other risk factors associated with FT that may be moderated by regional economic levels.

Safety study of fluralaner solution on poultry red mite: A clinical study screening of the optimal dose and focusing on hepatic and renal parameters.

The poultry red mite (PRM), Dermanyssus gallinae, a significant ectoparasite causing diseases in poultry, is globally prevalent and necessitates effective control strategies. There are restrictions on the use of acaricides in poultry across several nations due to worries about medication residues. Consequently, finding safe and efficient treatments for PRM is imperative. Fluralaner solution has emerged as a potential therapeutic agent, distinguished by its rapid onset, enduring efficacy, and lack of a withdrawal period for egg production. To ascertain the optimal dosage and therapeutic efficacy of fluralaner solution in PRM treatment, this study evaluated blood biochemical parameters and mite populations across various treatment groups. A cohort of 500 laying hens was randomly assigned to one of five treatment groups, each comprising 100 individuals:high-dose group (0.1 ml/kg-bw, group 4 ×, coop 1), medium-dose group (0.05 ml/kg-bw, group 2 ×, coop 5), low-dose group (0.025 ml/kg-bw, group 1 ×, coop 2), drug-control group (Intervet Productions, 0.05 ml/kg-bw recommended dose, coop 3) and blank control group (coop 4). Hens received their respective dosages of the fluralaner solution via oral administration on Days 0 (D0) and 7 (D7) of the experimental period. Over the study's ninety days, blood biochemical markers and mite counts in each coop were measured to evaluate the drug's safety, effectiveness, and ideal dosage. Data analysis was performed utilizing SPSS software. The study findings indicated that, for effective PRM infestation treatment, a dosage of 0.5 mg fluralaner per kilogram of body weight (equivalent to 0.05 ml) administered daily, followed by a subsequent dose post a 7-day interval, is recommended. Additionally, clinical observations coupled with blood biochemical assessments confirmed the safety of fluralaner across the three tested dosage levels in hens.

On QSPR analysis of pulmonary cancer drugs using python-driven topological modeling.

In this paper, we discussed the role of topological descriptors in the QSPR modeling of pulmonary cancer drugs. Degree-based topological indices were computed using computational methods driven by Python that are mathematical representations of properties of molecules without physical measurement. These descriptors were analyzed through linear regression models using SPSS software to predict significant physicochemical properties like boiling point, flash point, molar refractivity, and polarizability. The results show excellent correlations between the computed indices and the observed properties, except for flash point, which ascertains the dependability of the approach in QSPR analysis. The integration of computational and mathematical chemistry will make it easier to evaluate drugs because it can assure consistent data for preclinical development. The paper also reveals specific indices that are superior to others regarding predictive accuracy, thus giving a basis for refining the models to suit the individual compound. This review sets the pace for establishing methodologies that are efficient in designing new and efficient treatments against cancer since it gives insight into the strengths and limitations of topological modeling. This work marked the transformation in accelerating the math involved in drug discovery to reduce such research costs.
