Exploring the Role of Repertoire in Library Reference Interactions
Authors: Caico Marissa , Clarke Rachel , Dudak Leah
Published: October 2022

Using experience to interpret a user’s information need is embedded in the process of every library reference transaction. Reference workers need to constantly grow and update their base of knowledge to have a deep understanding of a variety of resources and subjects (Miller, 2011). The expert reference worker not only has knowledge of specific subjects and resources, but also has an additional level of professional knowledge regarding the successes and failures of past reference interactions. In other fields, like design, bodies of knowledge iteratively built from previous experiences are known as repertoire. Designers develop repertoire over time by integrating information from previous situations into new ones (Goldschmidt & Porter 2010). Research shows that designers with broader and more diverse repertoires make better design decisions and demonstrate greater expertise (Salmon & Gritzer 1992; Wahl & Baxter 2008). Much like designers, reference workers often deal with problems that are complex and benefit from previous experience and expertise, as well as diverse and individual perspectives built into a reference worker’s personal repertoire. Our research aims to understand how, over time, reference workers collect and reflect on experiences to develop their repertoires to deal with complex inquiries and how diverse and extensive the personal repertory knowledge of reference workers is.
A comparative analysis of data literacy competency frameworks
Authors: Kim Jeonghyun , Berka Catrina
Published: October 2022

Data literacy is regarded as a critical competence for the 21st century as the range of skills and knowledge needed to handle data is now essential in our personal and professional lives. There is a widening gap between the demand for a data-literate workforce and the supply of properly trained individuals with data skills. This gap is increasingly recognized by universities, with some now prioritizing data skills for students to ensure that they are fully equipped for the future. Higher education has recognized data literacy as an important learning outcome to help students survive and thrive in this complex job market.There have been efforts to develop a data literacy competency framework to enhance our understanding of conceptions of data literacy and demonstrate how required data literacy skills and knowledge should be characterized. Such data literacy competency frameworks are found in multiple disciplines, including information science, computer science, and statistics. They serve as a descriptive tool that outlines and integrates the knowledge and skills needed to perform a specific job within the workforce and a guide for curriculum development and self-assessment tool for the students. This poster presentation will illustrate the preliminary results of a comparative analysis of data literacy competency frameworks to identify a set of common core competencies.
Librarians’ Attitude Towards Providing Environmental Education Services in Florida
Authors: Ren Xiaoai , Yang Changwoo
Published: October 2022

It has been three decades since ALA created the Task Force on the Environment (TFOE) in 1989 and since the emergence of the Green Library Movement in early 1990s. It’s crucial to reflect upon library’s current work on promoting environmental awareness and literacy in their community. Most LIS literature on this subject has been reporting individual cases on greening library buildings, operation, and practice, and providing green library services. There is still the need for more empirical research that examines libraries’ perception of the importance of environmental sustainability and the roles libraries could play. This study surveyed librarians from the state of Florida to determine their attitude towards providing environmental education services and the current services they are providing. The results show that more than 75% of respondents show positive attitudes towards providing information resources and environmental literacy education in libraries. About 75% of the respondents also agree that libraries should support other community organizations in promoting environmental awareness. Though most Florida libraries provide information resources on environmental issues, they do not actively provide environmental literacy education or conduct community outreach. Findings from this study will inform library professional organizations such as ALA on how to better support member libraries on this important issue.
How Supporting the Everyday Information Practices of Students with Autism Can Enhance Their Sensory and Social Well-Being
Authors: Mallary Kevin
Published: October 2022

Higher education students are expected to master everyday life, which involves receiving and processing copious information, completing assignments, communicating with their professors and peers, planning for their careers, and building life skills (e.g., budgeting finances, managing schedules, securing housing). To accomplish those tasks, students seek, use, and share information in normative ways, behaviors called everyday information practices. For students with autism, however, engaging in everyday information practices can be difficult due to affective, cognitive, and social barriers. Institutions unaware of or unwilling to accommodate autistic students’ information needs may not provide the structural agency these students need to receive the same quality education as their neurotypical peers. This study defined structural agency as the people, information, norms, and tools (e.g., accommodations, technologies) within a higher education institution that aid students’ everyday information practices.

Studies of autistic students’ everyday information practices emphasize information professionals’ perspectives (e.g., academic librarians, disability support coordinators, professors) and seldom elicit students’ information needs. Hence, I employed Grounded Theory Method to understand – from autistic students’ experiences – how institutions enable them to master everyday life. I conducted initial and follow-up interviews with 16 autistic students from two flagship universities in the United States. Participants also created everyday life maps, illustrations of their information practices for mastering everyday life. Multiple rounds of data collection and analysis revealed participants’ information practices and their recommendations for enhancing sensory and social well-being. Implications for academic librarians include developing sensory well-being spaces and providing information literacy skills instruction for building self-advocacy.

Authors: García-Santillán Arturo
Published: October 2022

El estudio se centra en medir el nivel de educación financiera (EF) entre los trabajadores de corporativos del sector alimenticio en México. Para obtener los datos se aplicó el test EduFin a 325 trabajadores de las sucursales de corporativos del sector alimenticio. Los datos se analizaron mediante el análisis factorial exploratorio con extracción de componentes y rotación Varimax, así como el ANOVA de un factor para identificar diferencias por género. Los principales hallazgos muestran que el nivel de educación financiera de los trabajadores no es bajo y tampoco se encontró alguna diferencia por género. Se recomienda ampliar la muestra al mayor número de empleados en los diferentes municipios del estado, ya que una limitante fue el tiempo de aplicación del test, que impidió lograr una mayor población en otros municipios del estado. En lo general podemos decir que los empleados de los corporativos estudiados mostraron un conocimiento aceptable de los cinco constructos que se analizaron, por lo que se podría esperar un buen manejo de sus finanzas personales. Es conveniente continuar desarrollando e implementando políticas públicas y programas de educación financiera para los trabajadores de los diferentes sectores productivos.

Authors: Pech Marion , Gbessemehlan Antoine , Dupuy Lucile , Sauzéon Hélène , Lafitte Stéphane , Bachelet Philippe , Amieva Hélène , Pérès Karine
Published: October 2022

Background

The SoBeezy program is an innovative intervention aimed at promoting and fostering healthy aging and aging in place by proposing to older adults concrete solutions to face daily life, tackle loneliness, promote social participation, and reduce the digital divide, thanks to a specific, easy-to-use voice assistant (the BeeVA smart display).

Objective

This study aims to assess the acceptability of the SoBeezy program and its voice assistant and to identify potential areas of improvement.

Methods

A 12-month experimentation of the program was deployed in real-life conditions among older adults living in the community in 4 pilot cities of France. Launched during the first lockdown of the COVID-19 crisis, this multisite study aimed to assess acceptability using questionnaires and interviews conducted at baseline and at the end of the experimentation. In addition, a series of meetings were conducted with SoBeezy staff members to obtain direct feedback from the ground.

Results

In total, 109 older individuals were equipped with BeeVA to use the SoBeezy program; of these, 32 (29.4%) left the experimentation before its end and 69 (63.3%) completed the final questionnaires. In total, 335 interventions were conducted and 27 (39%) of the participants requested services, mainly for supportive calls and visits and assistance with shopping, transportation, and crafting-gardening. Of the whole sample, 52 (75%) considered BeeVA as a reassuring presence, and few persons (15/69, 22%) reported a negative opinion about the program. Among the participants, the voice assistant appeared easy to use (n=57, 82%) and useful (n=53, 77%). They also were positive about the BeeVA smart display and the SoBeezy intervention.

Conclusions

This multisite study conducted in real-life conditions among more than 100 older adults living in the community provides enlightening results of the reality from the ground of digital tools designed for the aging population. The COVID-19 context appeared both as an opportunity, given the massive needs of the older adults during this crisis, and as limiting due to sanitary constraints. Nevertheless, the experimentation showed overall good acceptability of the voice assistant and a high level of satisfaction of the participants among those who really used the system and could be a way of improving the autonomy and well-being of older adults and their families. However, the findings also highlighted resistance to change and difficulties for the users to ask for help. The experimentation also emphasized levers for next deployments and future research. The next step will be the experimentation of the activity-sharing component that could not be tested due to the COVID-19 context.
Understanding the Social Mechanism of Cancer Misinformation Spread on YouTube and Lessons Learned: Infodemiological Study
Authors: Yoon Ho Young , You Kyung Han , Kwon Jung Hye , Kim Jung Sun , Rha Sun Young , Chang Yoon Jung , Lee Sang-Cheol
Published: October 2022

Background

A knowledge gap exists between the list of required actions and the action plan for countering cancer misinformation on social media. Little attention has been paid to a social media strategy for disseminating factual information while also disrupting misinformation on social media networks.

Objective

The aim of this study was to, first, identify the spread structure of cancer misinformation on YouTube. We asked the question, “How do YouTube videos play an important role in spreading information about the self-administration of anthelmintics for dogs as a cancer medicine for humans?” Second, the study aimed to suggest an action strategy for disrupting misinformation diffusion on YouTube by exploiting the network logic of YouTube information flow and the recommendation system. We asked the question, “What would be a feasible and effective strategy to block cancer misinformation diffusion on YouTube?”

Methods

The study used the YouTube case of the self-administration of anthelmintics for dogs as an alternative cancer medicine in South Korea. We gathered Korean YouTube videos about the self-administration of fenbendazole. Using the YouTube application programming interface for the query “fenbendazole,” 702 videos from 227 channels were compiled. Then, videos with at least 50,000 views, uploaded between September 2019 and September 2020, were selected from the collection, resulting in 90 videos. Finally, 10 recommended videos for each of the 90 videos were compiled, totaling 573 videos. Social network visualization for the recommended videos was used to identify three intervention strategies for disrupting the YouTube misinformation network.

Results

The study found evidence of complex contagion by human and machine recommendation systems. By exposing stakeholders to multiple information sources on fenbendazole self-administration and by linking them through a recommendation algorithm, YouTube has become the perfect infrastructure for reinforcing the belief that fenbendazole can cure cancer, despite government warnings about the risks and dangers of self-administration.

Conclusions

Health authorities should upload pertinent information through multiple channels and should exploit the existing YouTube recommendation algorithm to disrupt the misinformation network. Considering the viewing habits of patients and caregivers, the direct use of YouTube hospital channels is more effective than the indirect use of YouTube news media channels or government channels that report public announcements and statements. Reinforcing through multiple channels is the key.
Wearable Activity Tracker Use and Physical Activity Among Informal Caregivers in the United States: Quantitative Study
Authors: Mahmood Asos , Kim Hyunmin , Kedia Satish , Dillon Patrick
Published: October 2022

Background

With an increase in aging population and chronic medical conditions in the United States, the role of informal caregivers has become paramount as they engage in the care of their loved ones. Mounting evidence suggests that such responsibilities place substantial burden on informal caregivers and can negatively impact their health. New wearable health and activity trackers (wearables) are increasingly being used to facilitate and monitor healthy behaviors and to improve health outcomes. Although prior studies have examined the efficacy of wearables in improving health and well-being in the general population, little is known about their benefits among informal caregivers.

Objective

This study aimed to examine the association between use of wearables and levels of physical activity (PA) among informal caregivers in the United States.

Methods

We used data from the National Cancer Institute’s Health Information National Trends Survey 5 (cycle 3, 2019 and cycle 4, 2020) for a nationally representative sample of 1273 community-dwelling informal caregivers—aged ≥18 years, 60% (757/1273) female, 75.7% (990/1273) had some college or more in education, and 67.3% (885/1273) had ≥1 chronic medical condition—in the United States. Using jackknife replicate weights, a multivariable logistic regression was fit to assess an independent association between the use of wearables and a binary outcome: meeting or not meeting the current World Health Organization’s recommendation of PA for adults (≥150 minutes of at least moderate-intensity PA per week).

Results

More than one-third (466/1273, 37.8%) of the informal caregivers met the recommendations for adult PA. However, those who reported using wearables (390/1273, 31.7%) had slightly higher odds of meeting PA recommendations (adjusted odds ratios 1.1, 95% CI 1.04-1.77; P=.04) compared with those who did not use wearables.

Conclusions

The results demonstrated a positive association between the use of wearables and levels of PA among informal caregivers in the United States. Therefore, efforts to incorporate wearable technology into the development of health-promoting programs or interventions for informal caregivers could potentially improve their health and well-being. However, any such effort should address the disparities in access to innovative digital technologies, including wearables, to promote health equity. Future longitudinal studies are required to further support the current findings of this study.

Forecasting Energy Consumption Using Hybrid CNN and LSTM Auto-Encoder Network with Hyperband Optimization
Authors: Mohanty Jyoti Prakash , Dash Saswat
Published: October 2022

Abstract: Power consumption in the modern world has significantly increased due to the rapid growth of the human population and technological advancement. The precise forecasting of rising electricity usage is a requirement for planning strategies, boosting profits, cutting down on power waste, and ensuring the energy demand management system runs steadily. Modern developments in the area of electricity consumption prediction offer great techniques for capturing chaotic trends in energy consumption and even surpassing forecasting models that have been around for a long time. But to increase prediction accuracy, some significant drawbacks in the current consumption prediction models must be addressed. In this paper, we present a hybrid deep learning design-based Auto-Encoder (AE) network model comprising of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network for multi-step forecasting. The input dataset is de-noised within the framework using Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and outliers are removed using Local Outlier Factor (LOF) algorithm, before learning in an unsupervised manner using the auto-encoder network. And, hyperband optimization is applied for tuning the hyperparameters. The outcomes of the numerical experiments demonstrate that the proposed architecture yields excellent prediction capabilities and great potential for generalization.

Published: October 2022

Objective: Alcohol is known to cause inflammation in the stomach by decreasing the protective substances of the gastric mucosa and increasing oxidative stress. The purpose of this study was to investigate the anti-inflammatory effect of Artemisiae Argyi Folium extract (AF) on alcohol-induced gastritis.Methods: The total polyphenol and flavonoid contents of AF were confirmed through an in vitro experiment. Radical scavenging activities were confirmed using DPPH and ABTS assays. In vivo experiments were conducted on mice divided into 5 groups (n=8): a normal group (Nor), an alcohol-induced gastritis group (Con), an alcohol-induced gastritis group administered 10 mg/kg sucralfate (SC), an alcohol-induced gastritis group administered 100 mg/kg AF (AFL), and an alcohol-induced gastritis group administered 200 mg/kg AF(AFH). The serum levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) were determined, and protein expressions were confirmed in gastric tissues.Results: In alcohol-induced gastritis, AF alleviated damage to the gastric mucosa caused by alcohol. AF also decreased the serum ROS levels. Western blots showed that AF decreased the expression of NADPH oxidase and decreased the expression of the NF-κB pathway associated with inflammation. AF also decreased the expression of adhesion molecules and chemokine proteins, and increased the expression of anti-inflammatory proteins.Conclusions: AF not only reduced oxidative stress in alcohol-induced gastritis, but it also relieved gastric mucosal inflammation by regulating the expression of the NF-κB pathway.

Published: October 2022

Objective: To show a decrease in tumor recurrence and improvement in quality of life in patients with recurrent cervical cancer.Method: A 58-year-old female patient diagnosed with recurrent cervical cancer in February 2021 was treated for 14 months with integrative cancer treatment (ICT) to decrease the tumor size and improve chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) and nausea. The patient underwent chemotherapy or concomitant chemoradiation therapy (CCRT) with ICT. Radiologic outcomes were assessed by abdomen & pelvis computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) based on the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) protocol. Clinical outcomes were assessed by the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Event (NCI-CTCAE), Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG), and a numeric rating scale (NRS).Result: During the 14 months of treatment, the size and metabolic activity of the recurrent tumor decreased and underwent partial remission based on RECIST. The NRS scores for CIPN and nausea were improved, and the ECOG score improved from grade 2 to 1. No serious side effects of grade 3 or higher were noted on the NCI-CTCAE test.Conclusion: This case suggests that ICT may have a synergetic effect with chemotherapy or radiotherapy for recurrent cervical cancer.

Analysis of the Degree of Reflection of the Nature of Science (NOS) in the ‘History of Science Textbook’ according to the 2015 Revised Curriculum
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Joo Hongbi , Yoon Jihyun
Published: October 2022

Objectives In the current situation where the existing science textbooks do not fully reflect the nature of science, it is necessary to examine the nature of science shown in textbooks on the history of science and effective use of it. For this purpose, in this study, the ratio of reflection of the nature of science reflected in the 2015 revised curriculum high school science history textbook was analyzed. Methods The subject of analysis was two types of high school history of science textbooks that have been tested, and the analysis frame that adequately reflects the nature of science from the viewpoint of cultivating students' scientific literacy was comparatively reviewed and selected. The selected analysis framework consisted of four areas: the nature of scientific knowledge (area I), the nature of scientific inquiry (area II), the nature of scientific thinking (area III), and the nature of interactions among science, technology and society (area IV). And each area was again composed of detailed sub-areas. Then, the analysis of the history of science textbooks was carried out in the stages of ‘analysis training in the nature of science’, ‘determining analysis units and sampling’, ‘preliminary analysis and reliability measurement’, and ‘main analysis’. Results As a result of the analysis, first, the textbooks on the history of science showed some differences in the reflection ratio for each area, but the four areas of the nature of science were evenly reflected. In particular, the nature of interaction among science, technology, and society (area IV) and the nature of scientific thinking (area III) showed high reflection rates in history of science textbooks. Second, as a result of analysis of each sub-area constituting each area of the nature of science, it was found that the detailed sub-contents were biased. Third, in the history of science textbooks, there was a difference in the reflection ratio for each area of the nature of science for each textbook unit, and finally, as a result of analysis by publisher, the two types of textbooks showed little difference in the reflection ratio by nature of science domain. Conclusions Based on the results of this analysis, we discussed the implications on the use of history of science textbook in terms of educating the nature of science and the direction of improvement of history of science textbook reflecting the social trends of the times.

Published: October 2022

Objectives The purposes of this study were to analyze the Irish new Junior Cycle Curriculum and draw the issues and implications. Methods For the study, collected documents related to Irish Junior Cycle curriculum development and operation published by the Irish Ministry of Education and the National Curriculum Evaluation Institute. This study derived implications by analyzing the characteristics of the educational system, curriculum goals, schedule, composition method, principles of curriculum guidelines and curriculum contents. Results The new junior cycle curriculum had set out 8 principles, 8 key skills and twenty-four statements of learning for the junior cycle. It comprises subjects, short courses and priority learning units(PLUs). Schools have the flexibility to decide what combination of subjects and short courses could be. The Junior Certificate examination is being replaced by a new school-based model of assessment. Conclusions Recommendations are as follows: First, continuity, sequence and interrelationship in developing and implementing the curriculum especially among subjects is very crucial. Second, the relevance of key skills in every subject should be examined. Third, new subject area ‘short courses’ has special meaning for future. As in Ireland junior cycle framework, greater choice for schools and their students could be with the third area, ‘short courses’.

Published: October 2022

Objectives The purpose of this study is to investigate the process of forming a professional identity by a female counselor in her 30s through marriage and childrearing in a patriarchal society. The purpose of this study is to explore what gender role conflicts female counselors experience and how professional identities are formed in the midst of such difficulties. Methods For this purpose, in this study, using the researcher's diary data, recollection data, and interview data, the researcher's experience was dealt with through a self-cultural descriptive paper that can view and interpret the researcher's experience in an auto-ethnography. Results It was divided into ‘the concept of gender roles naturally permeated’, ‘attempts to lay down the framework of the concept of gender roles’, and ‘integration of the professional identity of the counselor and the gender role’. This is the appearance according to the gender role concept that has been naturally learned in the patriarchal society, the attempt to put down this framework while studying counseling, and the image of myself as a being by living a more independent life rather than defining myself as a role. It showed the process of forming identity through self-perception. Conclusions This study may be helpful in understanding the life of a female counselor who is studying counseling.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Jang Jin Hee
Published: October 2022

Objectives The purpose of this study is to develop and verify the effectiveness of a human rights improvement program to prevent school violence for children with disabilities based on restorative life education to promote respect for others and their own rights. Methods The study procedure is as follows. In the basic stage of program development, through literature research, the core competency of the human rights improvement program and teaching methods were explored. In the second stage, after selecting goals and contents, the program was developed through validation of validity. In step 3, a survey was conducted with 60 students in grades 4 to 6 of elementary school to verify the effectiveness of the program. Analysis methods were performed using IBM SPSS 26.0, t-difference verification, one-way ANOVA, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis. Results It was identified that there was a significant change in the overall factor of perception of school violence and human rights sensitivity through the human rights improvement program. Also, the situational perception ability of human rights sensitivity was found to be correlated with dysfunctional thinking of the ability to cope with school violence. Responsibility perception ability was related to all 3 factors of perception of school violence, and it was identified that it is a variable that influences the attitude and behavior factors of school violence. Conclusions This study, which changes the perception of school violence and emphasizes the social integration of the inclusive education environment, is meaningful in that it developed a human rights improvement program for disseminating a culture of empathy for people with disabilities and verified its effectiveness.

Objectives This study is to examine the effects of application-based mathematics education on young children's mathematical ability and attitude to application utilization. Methods The purposes of this study wFor this purpose, 87 children aged 3 to 5 years (45 experimental group and 42 comparative group) were selected from early childhood education institutions in the metropolitan area. The experimental group conducted mathematical activities in the mathematics education application with parents at home, and the comparative group used the activity sheets consisting of the same concept as the contents of the mathematics education experienced by the experimental group. The collected data were statistically processed using the program for SPSS 25.0 Windows. Before and after the experiment, the experimental group, the infant's mathematical ability, and the attitude of using educational applications were measured, and the data were analyzed by conducting covariance analysis (ANCOVA) and independent sample T-test. Results Application-based early childhood mathematics education has a significant effect on young children's mathematical ability and attitude to use applications. The mathematical ability of the children was found to affect the number, operation, geometry, and measurement of the sub-areas, and the attitude of the children's use of educational applications had a positive effect on the competence of the sub-areas. Conclusions This study suggests that application-based mathematics activities can be an effective method for early childhood mathematics education.

Published: October 2022

Sustainability communication has been an increasing focus globally for many diverse and complex resource-based industries, including beef production, due to an increase in public scrutiny. However, this has received limited research interest. This study, drawing on in-depth interviews, explores key internal and external stakeholders’ perceptions of sustainability communication challenges using the Australian beef industry as a case study. Diverse views about public perceptions, the role of communications in trust, and internal issues reflect challenges such as industry culture, isolation, and industry complexity and breadth. This research highlights and discusses a range of sustainability communication issues in complex contexts.

Kaposi’s sarcoma in association with generalized tuberculosis is a rare combination of two opportunistic HIV-associated diseases, and the difficulties of their detection are especially relevant in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. To demonstrate a clinical case of multisystem involvement by Kaposi’s sarcoma and pulmonary tuberculosis in a patient admitted to an infectious diseases hospital with suspected viral pneumonia caused by a new coronavirus infection COVID-19. The patient complained of general weakness, shortness of breath with minimal physical exertion, heavy sweating, cough with yellow-green sputum, fever up to 37–39°С, lack of appetite and weight loss of 13 kg over the past six months. The analysis of clinical data, laboratory, instrumental and pathoanatomical studies performed in a St. Petersburg’s infectious diseases hospitals was carried out. CT findings of generalized lymphadenopathy combined with lung infiltrates in a patient with a positive PCR test for a new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) led to the overdiagnosis of a lymphoproliferative disease and did not allow for Kaposi’s sarcoma to be detected in vivo due to the absence of typical CT findings of disseminated tuberculosis in the presence of bilateral pneumonia. Radiologists should be aware of the clinical picture and signs of Kaposi’s sarcoma, it must be included in the differential diagnosis if a patient has an atypical clinical presentation and course of the disease, in the presence of skin rashes, even with a positive PCR for COVID-19.

INTRODUCTION: Since 2020, the number of patients with complications after a new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) has increased, including mycoses. Mucormycosis ranks third in the frequency of detection among invasive mycoses in patients with reduced immunity. Acute and chronic invasive fungal rhinosinusitis is the most severe and dangerous variant of the disease.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the features of the osteodestructive process of invasive mucormycosis, its relationship with blood supply, the dynamics of the process under the influence of treatment.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study evaluated changes in the bone structures of the skull, soft tissues of the facial region, brain, and thorax in a group of 10 patients (62.3±11.4 y.o.) examined in the clinic of maxillofacial surgery and the clinic otorhinolaryngology in the post- covid period. The results of cone-beam computed tomography (Sirona) of the maxillofacial region, Xray computed tomography Optima 540 CT (General Electric) of the maxillofacial region and thoracic cavity organs, magnetic resonance imaging (GE Signa HDxt) of the brain and maxillofacial region with intravenous administration of a paramagnetic contrast agent were analyzed.

RESULTS: In all cases, osteolytic lesions as a classical manifestations of invasive mucormycosis, were revealed in: alveolar processes of the upper jaws and walls of the maxillary sinuses in 100% of cases; palatine processes — 90%; nasal septum, walls of the ethmoid sinuses and walls the orbits — 70%; walls of the sphenoid sinus — 50%; pterygoid processes and zygomatic bone — 40%; the body of the sphenoid bone, nasal bones, frontal bones — 30%; the alveolar part of the mandible and temporal bone — 10%. All patients underwent surgery with resection of the affected bones — 100%, while 7 out of 10 patients received antimycotic therapy. When assessing the revealed changes in dynamics in all patients in the long-term postoperative period, sclerosis of small foci of destruction, a decrease in the extent of bone defects, a decrease in the size of sequesters, hyperostosis of the walls of the paranasal sinuses, cells ethmoid sinuses of the after sequestrectomy were noted. There were no fatal cases among the 10 patients we observed at the time of publication.

CONCLUSION: The combination of anatomical features and the state of blood supply contributes to the development of invasive mucormycosis of the bones of the facial skull and the RCT data help with determining treatment tactics, the volume of surgery, and assessing dynamics in the early and long-term postoperative period.
