The Impact

The differential impact of young age and female gender on transradial access (TRA) outcomes remains to be confirmed. The primary objective was to assess the impact of young age and female gender on in-hospital net adverse cardiovascular events (NACE). Among 12 346 patients from the Coronary Angiogram Database of South Australia (CADOSA) Registry, the impact of gender; men (transfemoral access [TFA] 1995, TRA 6168) and women (TFA 1249, TRA 2934), and a median split of age, ≤63 years (TFA 1617, TRA 4727) and >63 years (TFA 1627, TRA 4375) were analyzed on in-hospital outcomes by creating 5 separate propensity-matched cohorts (entire cohort, men, women, ≤63 and > 63 years). Net adverse cardiovascular event reduction with TRA was limited to the >63 years old cohort (odds ratio [OR] = 0.56, 95% CI: 0.34-0.93, P = .02) and women (OR = 0.37, 95% CI: 0.18-0.76, P = .007). In both the age groups and genders, TRA was associated with a lower risk of bleeding and all-cause mortality. On multivariate logistic regression, TRA was associated with a significant reduction in NACE, major bleeding, and mortality in the overall cohort. In conclusion, a reduction in bleeding and mortality was noted with TRA in all the subgroups in this observational study.

OBJECTIVES:  To analyze the impact of age and gender on iron stores in a population of the Nowshera region. METHODOLOGY: This cross sectional study was conducted in the Department of Pathology Qazi Hussain Ahmed Medical Complex Nowshera from 1st January 2019 to 31st March 2020. All patients were selected by convenience sampling in the Pathology department irrespective of age and gender.   Both descriptive and inferential statistics were applied to analyze data by the latest SPSS version 25.  RESULTS: Out of the total study population males were 70 (27.1%) and females 188 (77.9%) with median age 30 years.  The median ferritin level was 12.8 ng/ml. Out of total, 142 (55%) of cases were with serum ferritin less than 15ng/ml. A significant (p=0.03) gender based median ferritin level difference was observed with 1.5 times more probability of low iron stores in females as compared to males (OR=1.5). No statistically significant difference in body iron stores exists in different age groups. CONCLUSION:  A significant difference was noted in the iron stores in gender groups and the probability of depleted/low iron stores was higher in female gender as compared to male gender in all age groups in our population.

Obesity is a rapidly growing epidemic. This study assesses the impact of obesity on surgeon workload for general surgical services. A retrospective study of patients undergoing cholecystectomy, unilateral mastectomy, and colectomy between January 2000 and December 2003 was undertaken. Obesity was defined as body mass index ≥30. The proportion of obese patients was compared to the 2002 BRFSS obesity prevalence data for Alabama. Data were adjusted to control for potential confounders. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated. A total of 1,385 patients were included in analysis. The prevalence of obesity in the study population was 35.5 per cent compared to the statewide prevalence of 25.2 per cent (OR = 1.73, 95% CI = 1.51, 1.98). These data were stratified by procedure, age, and gender. The cholecystectomy group had a significantly higher proportion of obese for all age groups and female gender. The mastectomy group had a higher proportion of obese in the 45–64 age group. The stratified colectomy group did not reach statistical significance. There was no evidence of referral bias to explain these findings. This study demonstrates there is a greater use of general surgery services, particularly cholecystectomy and mastectomy, in obese patients than predicted by the prevalence of obesity in the population.

The Impact

Sentiment analysis is a rapidly growing field of research due to the explosive growth in digital information. In the modern world of artificial intelligence, sentiment analysis is one of the essential tools to extract emotion information from massive data. Sentiment analysis is applied to a variety of user data from customer reviews to social network posts. To the best of our knowledge, there is less work on sentiment analysis based on the categorization of users by demographics. Demographics play an important role in deciding the marketing strategies for different products. In this study, we explore the impact of age and gender in sentiment analysis, as this can help e-commerce retailers to market their products based on specific demographics. The dataset is created by collecting reviews on books from Facebook users by asking them to answer a questionnaire containing questions about their preferences in books, along with their age groups and gender information. Next, the paper analyzes the segmented data for sentiments based on each age group and gender. Finally, sentiment analysis is done using different Machine Learning (ML) approaches including maximum entropy, support vector machine, convolutional neural network, and long short term memory to study the impact of age and gender on user reviews. Experiments have been conducted to identify new insights into the effect of age and gender for sentiment analysis.

ObjectiveTo investigate sociodemographic and gender factors associated with suicide and suicide attempts among new users of antidepressants aged 75 and above.DesignRegister-based cohort study.SettingNational population-based cohort of Swedish residents aged ≥75 years.Participants185 225 patients who initiated antidepressant medication between 1 January 2007 and 31 December 2013 were followed until 31 December 2014.Main outcome measuresSuicide and suicide attempts. Fine and Gray regression models were used to analyse the sociodemographic factors (age, country of birth, marital status, education level, last occupation, income and social allowance) associated with suicidal behaviours in the entire cohort and by gender.ResultsDuring follow-up, 295 suicides and 654 suicide attempts occurred. Adjusted sub-hazard ratios (aSHRs) for suicide were lower among older age groups (aSHR 0.73, 95% CI 0.53 to 0.99 for those 85–89 years; and aSHR 0.53, 95% CI 0.33 to 0.86 for those ≥90 years). A similar pattern was observed for suicide attempts. Suicide attempts were more common among those born in foreign countries (aSHR 1.58, 95% CI 1.16 to 2.15 for those born in another Nordic country; and aSHR 1.43, 95% CI 1.06 to 1.93 for those born in non-Nordic countries). In the gender-stratified analyses, being single or divorced, and born in another Nordic country was associated with a higher risk of suicide among men. Educational and occupational history and being born in a non-Nordic country influenced risk of suicidal behaviours in women.ConclusionSuicidal behaviours occurred more commonly among new users who were ‘younger’ old adults and those with foreign background, suggesting that those groups might require greater support when initiating antidepressant therapy. Our findings suggest the need for gender-specific, multifaceted approaches to the prevention of suicidal behaviours in late life.

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE Stroke is a very common neurological condition affects various aspects of health. The primary objective of this study was to find out the frequency of functional disability and cognitive impairments in Sub-acute Stroke patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS A cross-sectional survey was conducted on 112 Sub-acute Stroke patients in Karachi, Pakistan. Using Barthel Index (BI) and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) test was used to find out the frequency of functional disability and cognitive impairments of Sub-acute Stroke patients. RESULTS The correlation of BI scores with MMSE scores for the Male gender was 0.576 whilst the correlation of BI scores with MMSE scores for the Female gender was 0.440. The severity of functional disability concerning age groups assessed P-value was 0.026 using Chi-Square Test. The severity of functional disability (BI severity) concerning gender, P-value was found 0.097 using the same test. CONCLUSION Functional Disability is directly linked with age. However, there was no linkage established between Cognitive Impairment and age as well as gender. On close inspection, there was a trend between Functional disability and gender but not statistically significant.

The present paper focuses on the impact of quality on customers’ buying behaviour towards point-of-purchase display at various retail outlets in Haryana. Point-of-Purchase Display plays an important role to increase the sale of the retailers. Today customers are rational and prefer quality products at reasonable price. Moreover, due to the emergence of the supermarkets as the dominant retail, the retail industry is experiencing vibrant changes all over the world. Retail industry in India has grown to be more complex and dynamic with an increase rate of speed from unorganized towards being organized. In this research paper data has been collected from 100 respondents and analysed with the help of Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) using one way ANOVA and t-test with demographic factors i.e. age-wise, gender-wise, occupation-wise and income-wise. . After analysing the data it was found that, there is neutral relationship in the opinion of different age groups and gender groups over the point-of-purchase display on quality. On the other hand Occupation and income does not have any importance on customers view point regarding ‘quality’. To conclude we can say that point-of-purchase display is not directly related to the quality.

The study examines the attitudes toward family solidarity and filial care obligations among Turks of the first and second immigrant generation as compared to Germans. The focilie on the impact of ethnic-cultural and socio-structural predictors, respectively, and whether patterns change across different age groups. Processes of intergenerational transmission and acculturation in migration constitute the theoretical background. Data from the Generations and Gender Survey 2005 and 2006 are used, including respondents in private households in Germany aged 18 to 79 years of the main sample, and the migrant sample, conducted on same-aged Turkish citizens in Germany. It was found that the family solidarity potential is far higher among Turkish migrants than among Germans. These differences persist in the second generation and in all age groups. Socio-structural predictors are of little relevance. The analyses indicate strong transmission processes between family generations: There ist little evidence of an “acculturation gap”.   Zusammenfassung Die Studie untersucht das familiale Solidaritätspotenzial für pflegebedürftige Eltern bei türkischen Migranten der ersten und zweiten Generation und kontrastiert es mit jenem der deutschen einheimischen Bevölkerung. Die zentralen Fragen lauten, welche Rolle ethnisch-kulturellen bzw. sozialstrukturellen Einflussgrößen zukommt und ob sich die Muster über verschiedene Altersgruppen hinweg verändern. Den theoretischen Hintergrund bilden Diskussionen um Transmissions- und Akkulturationsprozesse in der Migration. Auf Grundlage der Daten des Generations and Gender Survey 2005 und 2006, der die 18 bis 79-jährige Wohnbevölkerung in Privathaushalten Deutschlands sowie in einer Zusatzerhebung ergänzend die türkischen Staatsangehörigen berücksichtigt, kann gezeigt werden, dass das familiale Solidaritätspotenzial bei türkischen Migranten wesentlich stärker ausgeprägt ist als bei Deutschen. Die Unterschiede bleiben in der nachfolgenden Generation und über alle Altersgruppen hinweg bestehen. Sozialstrukturelle Merkmale sind von geringer Bedeutung. Die Befunde zeigen, wie stark die Transmissionsprozesse zwischen den Generationen sind: Es gibt wenig Hinweise auf einen intergenerationalen „acculturation gap“.

During the social distancing, an increasing number of people use communication applications, various types of digital tools and programs. Various video conferencing platforms are regularly used in the educational environment. The study presents the analyses how intensive is the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in the educational environment and how it can change cognitive-behavioral gender differences. This is particularly important to pay a special attention to the analysis of gender as a dynamic category, to take into account the processes of gender socialization and transformation of gender identification in the changing social environment. The research methods also included a set of additional methods, such as a focus group on different aspects of gender-specific behavior in the digital learning environment, putting together collages, as well as the method of the unfinished sentence related to the impact of ICT on teachers' professional development and well-being. In the course of the study, it was recognised that the design of social models of male and female gender-specific behaviour includes more than the basic gender identity and gender stability: in today's society, there is a multiplicity of views on the similarities and differences of gender-specific behaviours, and a rapid change in the accepted social guidelines and behavioural patterns is in progress, socio-cultural norms that define the psychological characteristics of women and men, their patterns of behaviour.

PurposeThis paper tests and validates a conceptual model linking the attachment points, team identification, attitude towards the team sponsors and the behavioural intentions in the context of Indian Premier League (IPL), while testing for the moderating effects of age and gender.Design/methodology/approachData were collected from 1,053 participants through both online and offline survey and then analyzed using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and structural equation modelling (SEM).FindingsAttachment points influence the formation of team identification, which, in turn, affect the attitude towards the team sponsors. Attitude towards the team sponsors influence the behavioural intentions. Player attachment influences team identification the most. Age and gender have a moderating effect on the constructs of the study. Team identification in females is stronger because of attachment to sports, whereas males have stronger team identification based on player attachment. Males have a stronger intention to spread positive word of mouth (WOM) about sponsor products as compared to the female respondents. The younger age group of less than 21 years has more intention to spread positive WOM compared to the other age groups considered in the study.Practical implicationsThis study contributes towards sports sponsorship research and the paradigms of social identity and attachment theories. Moreover, it will also help the marketers (sponsors) in IPL to strategically market their brands.Originality/valueThis is the first study to investigate the impact of attachment points on sponsorship outcomes in the context of IPL. Further, it is also the first to investigate the purchase intentions and WOM for the team sponsors in IPL. The multi-group analysis results will provide insights into marketers to better understand IPL viewers' segments and their behaviour.

6014 Background: Research suggests that EPs with cancer are commonly undertreated, but the precise reasons for this observation are unclear. Our aims were to 1) evaluate the impact of advanced age on AC use (none vs capecitabine vs FOLFOX) for stage III CC, 2) determine the specific reasons for selecting and discontinuing a particular regimen, and 3) examine if the effect of AC on outcomes is modified by age. Methods: Patients diagnosed with stage III CC from 2006 to 2008 and referred to any 1 of 5 cancer centers in British Columbia, Canada were identified. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize treatment patterns in young patients (YPs) aged <70 vs EPs aged >/=70 years. Logistic regression was used to evaluate the association between AC and cancer-specific survival (CSS) in YPs and EPs. Results: We identified 810 patients: 51% men, 52% YPs and 48% EPs, and 74% received AC in the entire cohort. When compared to YPs, EPs had worse ECOG and more comorbidities (both p<0.01). EPs were less likely than YPs to receive AC (57 vs 91%, p<0.01). Frequent reasons for no treatment included age, comorbidities and perceived minimal benefit from AC. Among those treated with AC, EPs were less likely to receive FOLFOX (32 vs 74%, p<0.01) in favor of capecitabine due to patient preference, age and comorbidities. Once started on AC, EPs had similar rates of early treatment discontinuation as YPs (70 vs 62%, p=0.08). Reasons for early discontinuation were comparable between EPs and YPs (Table). Receipt of either FOLFOX or capecitabine was correlated with improved CSS, compared to surgery alone. Age did not modify CSS, irrespective of AC choice (interaction p for capecitabine and age=0.26; interaction p for FOLFOX and age=0.40). Conclusions: EPs with stage III CC frequently received either no adjuvant treatment or capecitabine monotherapy due to advanced age and comorbidities. The treatment effect of AC on CSS is similar across age groups, with comparable side effects and rates of discontinuation between EPs and YPs. AC should not be withheld from CC patients based on advanced age alone. [Table: see text]
