Thus, these techniques have been widely considered for limited-resource networks such as Internet of Things networks. Among the different security objectives, malicious user detection by exploiting physical-layer parameters has demonstrated efficient performance. In this work, malicious user detection in the recently proposed index modulation-based orthogonal frequency division multiple access (IM-OFDMA) is addressed. The proposed malicious user detection scheme exploits the hardware impairments, especially the in-phase and quadrature imbalance parameters, for both legitimate and malicious users to design a dual-phase efficient detection scheme. The proposed scheme accounts for the special characteristics of IM-OFDMA transmission that are different from other multiple-access techniques. The performance of the proposed scheme was evaluated considering detection probability and false alarm probability performance metrics. Moreover, closed-form expressions of these metrics were derived for both phases and were validated by Monte Carlo simulation results under different configurations of IM-OFDMA systems.Article Ludwig's Angina in a 6-Year Child: Case Report(Wiley, 2025) Akbari, Negarin; Razavi, Ali; Sabzi, Zahra; Parhiz, JabbarLudwig's angina is a rare but potentially fatal cellulitis that affects the submandibular, sublingual, and submental spaces, typically triggered by dental infections. This case report details a severe presentation of Ludwig's angina in a 6-year-old girl who presented with submandibular swelling, fever, voice alterations, and respiratory distress. Diagnosis was based on clinical evaluation, supported by CT imaging, revealing significant airway narrowing and lymphadenopathy. The patient was promptly intubated to secure the airway, followed by emergency surgical drainage and intravenous antibiotics. Postoperative care included sedation, ongoing monitoring in the PICU, and close follow-up by multiple specialties. After a 10-day hospitalization, the patient showed significant recovery with no complications. The case underscores the importance of early diagnosis and intervention in preventing severe complications such as airway obstruction, sepsis, and mediastinal spread. It highlights the critical role of interdisciplinary collaboration, including pediatric infectious disease specialists, surgeons, and anesthesiologists, in managing this life-threatening condition effectively.Article Post-Covid Neutropenia in an Infant With Thalassemia Minor: Case Report(Wiley, 2025) Elsherif, Yasmine; Elsherif, Omar; Karimi, Mehran; Ibrahim, Ismail A.; Abukhadijah, Hana J.This case of an 11-month-old female who developed severe neutropenia following COVID-19 infection underscores the need for heightened vigilance and monitoring of hematological parameters in infants post-COVID-19. The exact mechanism of COVID-19-induced neutropenia is not fully understood, but it may involve cytokine-induced suppression of hematopoiesis and bone marrow repression due to the inflammatory response. Given the potential for serious clinical implications, including increased susceptibility to infections, it is crucial to effectively identify and manage neutropenia in this vulnerable population. Further research is necessary to elucidate the underlying mechanisms and optimize treatment strategies for COVID-19-related hematological complications in infants.Article Tinea Capitis (favus) in a 8-Year Child: Case Report(Wiley, 2024) Akbari, Negarin; Parhiz, Jabbar; Sabzi, ZahraKey Clinical MessageIn examining any scalp itch or skin lesions, especially in children with long hair, fungal lesions under the hair may not be diagnosed in a timely manner. Additionally, fungal infection of the scalp, known as tinea capitis, is considered a chronic condition and if left untreated, it can lead to alopecia (hair loss) and permanent scarring.AbstractTinea capitis (TC) is a common cutaneous fungal infection in childhood. In this report, we describe the case of an 8-year-old child presenting with erythematous scalp lesions accompanied by hair loss. Upon examination, palpation revealed a swollen and tender left parotid gland. Notably, the frontal region of the scalp exhibited erythematous lesions and scaly red plaques resembling yellowish paste-like dough. Subsequent clinical evaluation and culture analysis confirmed the diagnosis of TC. The patient received treatment with Terbinafine 125 mg for a duration of 8 weeks. Follow-up examinations conducted after 3 months showed no signs of recurrence. Accurate diagnosis and timely treatment, along with adherence to medication regimens, are crucial in cases of TC, and differential diagnoses should be considered. Treatment should commence promptly upon diagnosis to prevent complications such as scalp baldness and transmission to others. This case report underscores the significance of establishing a precise diagnosis and effective treatment for this dermatophytosis to mitigate the risk of recurrences or therapeutic shortcomings, particularly in infants.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4An Efficient and Robust 3d Medical Image Classification Approach Based on 3d Cnn, Time-Distributed 2d Cnn-Blstm Models, and Mrmr Feature Selection(Wiley, 2024) Akbacak, Enver; Muzoglu, NedimThe advent of 3D medical imaging has been a turning point in the diagnosis of various diseases, as voxel information from adjacent slices helps radiologists better understand complex anatomical relationships. However, the interpretation of medical images by radiologists with different levels of expertise can vary and is also time-consuming. In the last decades, artificial intelligence-based computer-aided systems have provided fast and more reliable diagnostic insights with great potential for various clinical purposes. This paper proposes a significant deep learning based 3D medical image diagnosis method. The method classifies MedMNIST3D, which consists of six 3D biomedical datasets obtained from CT, MRA, and electron microscopy modalities. The proposed method concatenates 3D image features extracted from three independent networks, a 3D CNN, and two time-distributed ResNet BLSTM structures. The ultimate discriminative features are selected via the minimum redundancy maximum relevance (mRMR) feature selection method. Those features are then classified by a neural network model. Experiments adhere to the rules of the official splits and evaluation metrics of the MedMNIST3D datasets. The results reveal that the proposed approach outperforms similar studies in terms of accuracy and AUC.Article Citation - WoS: 1The Unlikely Combination: Anderson-Fabry Disease and Congenital Dyserythropoietic Anemia Type Ii in a Pediatric Patient(Wiley, 2024) Elsherif, Yasmine; Ibrahim, Ismail A.; Elsherif, Omar; Abukhadijah, Hana J.Anderson- Fabry disease (AFD) is a rare condition, characterized by a lysosomal storage disorder affecting lipid storage. It manifests in two forms: classic (early- onset) and nonclassic (late- onset). Conversely, congenital dyserythropoietic anemia (CDA) is a rare blood disorder caused by ineffective erythropoiesis, which results in the production of abnormal erythroblasts during the maturation of red blood cells, with CDA type II being the most frequent type. Both disorders have well- understood pathophysiologies, yet they are genetically distinct. AFD is inherited in an X- linked manner, whereas CDA type II follows an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance. Although both AFD and CDA type II have been reported separately in the literature. The co- existence for both AFD and CDA type II has not been reported. We describe a 10- year- old boy, with both which is believed to be the first documented case.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Disaster Risk Perception and Sustainable Earthquake Awareness Among Public and Private University Nursing Students(Wiley, 2024) Kolac, Nurcan; Eroglu, Nermin; Nirgiz, CansuBackground: This research was conducted in descriptive type to determine the disaster risk perception and sustainable earthquake awareness of nursing students studying at public and private universities. Methods: The study sample consisted of 400 nursing students studying at one public and one private university. The research was conducted between April and May 2023. The data were collected using a Sociodemographic Form, University Students Disaster Risk Perception Scale (USDRPS), and Sustainable Earthquake Awareness Scale (SEAS). Data were collected online using a questionnaire created on Google Forms. Analyses included frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation values, independent groups t-test, post-hoc Tukey test, LSD, and ANOVA test. Results: Of the students, 61.8% had a disaster experience, 17.4% had lost a relative in the disaster, and 76.8% did not consider themselves prepared for a possible disaster. In the study, the exposure sub-dimension score of the disaster risk perception scale was found to be higher in students who had disaster experience than in those who did not (p = 0.032). Nursing students from the private university had higher sustainable earthquake awareness scores than those studying at the state university (p = 0.001). The mean scores of female students on the earthquake preparedness and preparation application sub-dimensions showed a significant difference compared to the scores of male students (p = 0.016). In the study, sustainable earthquake awareness total and earthquake preparedness sub-dimension scores were higher in second-year nursing students than in students of other years (p = 0.042; 0.015). Those who had received disaster training had low scores on the uncontrollable sub-dimension of the disaster risk perception scale, and high scores on the total SEAS and earthquake-structure relationship, earthquake preparedness, and earthquake preparation application sub-dimensions (p < 0.05). Conclusions: In the study, three out of four students did not find themselves prepared for disasters. Those who had disaster experience had higher disaster risk perceptions. Students who had received disaster-related training had more positive earthquake preparedness, earthquake-structure relationship, and earthquake preparation applications than those who had not. Students who were female and were in the second year had higher earthquake awareness. Studies can be carried out to inform people about the pre-disaster and preparation stages to raise awareness about disasters at universities. Education on disaster management can be integrated into courses from the first years of university.
