Introduction Primary dysmenorrhea (PD) is the most common gynecological condition among young women. Although several non-pharmacological interventions have proven effective in relieving pain in patients with PD, the optimal treatment remains unknown. This systematic review and network meta-analysis (NMA) will aim to compare and rank the analgesic effects of different non-drug interventions for PD. Methods and analysis Randomized controlled trials of non-pharmacological interventions for PD will be identified via a search of the PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Embase databases until May 2024. The primary outcome will be change in pain intensity among patients with PD, while the secondary outcomes include health-related quality of life and symptoms of depression and anxiety. Two independent reviewers will perform document screening, study selection, and data extraction. The methodological quality of the included studies will be assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool (V. 2). The RevMan, Stata, and Aggregate Data Drug Information System software will be used to perform a pairwise meta-analysis and Bayesian NMA in a random-effects model. The certainty of the evidence will be rated using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation System.

“…Further lowering the cost of the overall network solution is possible via selectively deploying optical amplifiers and customizing the power splitters/combiners. The optimization framework described in [14] to achieve this objective while respecting physical constraints (e.g., receiver sensitivity, maximum launch power for negligible nonlinear impairments, maximum power unbalance between SCs at the hub's receiver) shows that the number of optical amplifiers can be halved (see Fig. 5), which further adds to the benefits of replacing P2P by P2MP transceivers.…”

“… Long-term cost-effectiveness and environmental impact of P2MP transceivers: in addition to the benefits against state-of-the-art P2P coherent pluggable transceivers, it is paramount to demonstrate that P2MP transceivers are expected to remain cost-effective in the long-term. The study reported in [15] considers a metro-aggregation network evolving over a 5-year period, with the introduction of higher capacity transceivers and modelling different planning strategies that account for varying degrees of confidence on earlier traffic predictions. The results provide evidence that CAPEX reductions from using P2MP instead of P2P transceivers are typically in the range of 30% and remain above 20% even in the scenarios more favorable to P2P transceivers.…”

“…[6] In recent years, it is shown that subclinical Vitamin D deficiency causes infectious, autoimmune, and cardiovascular diseases, obesity, depression, impaired glycemic index, COVID-19, and various types of cancer. [7][8][9][10] Vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) and Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) are the two major isoforms. Ergosterol is converted to Vitamin D3 by UVB light.…”

Objective: This study aimed to investigate subclinical Vitamin D deficiency and other risk factors in community-acquired pneumonia in children. In addition to the known infectious causes of pneumonia, we wanted to examine whether Vitamin D deficiency, which can change the characteristics of the immune system, is a risk factor for the disease.Material and Methods: Ethical approval and study done at Istanbul Medeniyet University Göztepe Training and Research Hospital Pediatric Clinic. Fifty-seven hospitalized patients with the diagnosis of pneumonia and 57 healthy controls were chosen for the study. Patients who have an underlying disease were excluded, and groups were compared. Informed consent was obtained, a questionnaire was prepared for the patients including patients' demographic, familial, and socioeconomic characteristics, possible factors that may cause pneumonia were questioned. Measurements on a digital scale, infantometer, and stadiometer were used. The measurement of 25(OH)-D3 was performed by the chemiluminescence method in an immunoassay. Results:The age range was 27.89-26.21 months. In the patient group, the number of individuals living in the same house was higher (n:5.35±2.69 vs. n:4.11±0.86; p=0.002), the birth weights of subjects (3117.36±390.80 gr vs. 3340.63±501.71 gr; p=0.010), and serum 25(OH)-D3 levels (25.21±13.19 ng/mL vs. 31.97±12.08 ng/mL; p=0.005) were lower compared to the control group. Illiterate mothers in the patient group (21.1% vs. 0.0%; p=0.001) and mothers who graduated from high school in the control group (8.8% vs. 28.1%; p=0.016) were significantly higher. Serum 25(OH)-D3 levels were 25.21±13.19 ng/mL in the patient group and 31.97±12.08 ng/mL in the control group, showing a statistically significant difference between the groups. In the patient group, the mean serum 25(OH)-D3 levels were significantly low (p=0.005). Vitamin D insufficiency was present in 68.42% of the patients. Conclusion:In addition to the modifiable risk factors in pneumonia patients, adding Vitamin D supplementation to standard treatment, if necessary, may be effective in reducing the morbidity and mortality of the disease.
