TL;DR: The study has delineated the best management alternative on the basis of 3 different multi-criteria decision making methods, including simple additive weighting (SAW), compromise programming (CP) and technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS).
Abstract: In this study, a water resource management model that facilitates indicator-based decisions, with respect to environmental, social and economic dimensions in a multiple criteria perspective, is developed for the Gediz River Basin in Turkey. The basic input of the proposed model is the quantity of surface water that is mainly allocated to irrigation purposes. The model has been applied under 3 different hydro-meteorological scenarios that reflect baseline as well as better and worse conditions of water supply and demand, not only to reach a comprehensive assessment of the water budget in the Gediz Basin, but also to evaluate the impacts of proposed management alternatives under different conditions. The Water Evaluation and Planning (WEAP) software is used as a simulation and evaluation tool to assess the performance of possible management alternatives; performance is measured by 9 indicators representing economic, social and environmental sustainability. The study has delineated the best management alternative on the basis of 3 different multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) methods, including simple additive weighting (SAW), compromise programming (CP) and technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS). Each method is also applied with 7 different sets of criteria weights that represent objective judgements as well as subjective preferences of decision makers. The results of the study indicate that the decision on the best alternative is basically independent of the MCDM method used, but slightly sensitive to the weights assigned to the criteria as well as the data used in the analyses. Keywords: MCDM, water resource management, WEAP, Gediz River Basin

TL;DR: Mobile Airways Sentinel NetworK aims to provide an active and healthy life to rhinitis sufferers and to those with asthma multimorbidity across the life cycle in order to reduce health and social inequities incurred by the disease and to improve the digital transformation of health and care.
Abstract: Mobile Airways Sentinel NetworK (MASK) belongs to the Fondation Partenariale MACVIA-LR of Montpellier, France and aims to provide an active and healthy life to rhinitis sufferers and to those with asthma multimorbidity across the life cycle, whatever their gender or socio-economic status, in order to reduce health and social inequities incurred by the disease and to improve the digital transformation of health and care. The ultimate goal is to change the management strategy in chronic diseases. MASK implements ICT technologies for individualized and predictive medicine to develop novel care pathways by a multi-disciplinary group centred around the patients. Include patients, health care professionals (pharmacists and physicians), authorities, patient’s associations, private and public sectors. MASK is deployed in 23 countries and 17 languages. 26,000 users have registered. MASK is participating in EU projects (POLLAR: impact of air POLLution in Asthma and Rhinitis, EIT Health, DigitalHealthEurope, Euriphi and Vigour). (i) Adherence to treatment is the major problem of allergic disease, (ii) Self-management strategies should be considerably expanded (behavioural), (iii) Change management is essential in allergic diseases, (iv) Education strategies should be reconsidered using a patient-centred approach and (v) Lessons learnt for allergic diseases can be expanded to chronic diseases.

TL;DR: In this article, a 3D scaffold with a grid-like microstructure was created by robotic deposition of organic solvent-based suspensions and evaluated in vitro for potential application in bone repair.
Abstract: Silicate (13-93) and borate (13-93B3) bioactive glass scaffolds were created by robotic deposition (robocasting) of organic solvent-based suspensions and evaluated in vitro for potential application in bone repair. Suspensions (inks) were developed, characterized, and deposited layer-by-layer to form three-dimensional scaffolds with a grid-like microstructure (porosity ≈50%; pore width 420 ± 30 μm). The mechanical response of the scaffolds was tested in compression, and the conversion of the glass to hydroxyapatite (HA)-like material in a simulated body fluid (SBF) was evaluated. As fabricated, the 13-93 scaffolds had a compressive strength 142 ± 20 MPa, comparable to the strength of human cortical bone, while the strength of the 13-93B3 scaffolds (65 ± 11 MPa), was far higher than that for trabecular bone. When immersed in SBF, the borate 13-93B3 scaffolds converted faster than the silicate 13-93 scaffolds to an HA-like material, but they also showed a sharper decrease in strength with immersion time. Based on their high compressive strength and bioactivity, the scaffolds fabricated in this work by robocasting could have potential application in the repair of load-bearing bone.

TL;DR: Testicular arterial blood flow was found to be significantly decreased in men with varicocele, and impaired spermatogenesis may result from defective energy metabolism in the microcirculatory bed.
Abstract: Objective: Varicocele can be defined as an abnormal tortuosity and dilatation of the veins of the pampiniform plexus. Contradictory results have been obtained from experimental animal models and a few clinical human studies on testicular arterial blood flow in varicocele. The purpose of this study was to determine the changes in testicular arterial blood flow parameters in patients with varicocele. Material and Methods: A total of 62 patients with a clinical diagnosis of left varicocele and a scrotal vein with a diameter of S 3 r mm on color Doppler ultrasonography were included in the study. A total of 44 fertile normal male volunteers served as controls. Results: Median testicular arterial blood flow and median flow rate in milliliters per minute per 100 r g of testicular tissue were found to be significantly decreased in the patient group compared to the control group: blood flow, 1.42 and 2.00 r ml/min; flow rate, 9.63 and 12.35 r ml/min/100 r g, respectively ( p r < r 0...
