Published: August 2023

Longitudinal studies have indicated the multifaceted regimens for atopic dermatitis (AD) administration, including ultraviolet phototherapy, oral JAK inhibitors, and the concomitant adjunctive therapies according to the American Academy of Dermatology published Guidelines of Care for the Management of Atopic Dermatitis. As a disease with typical characteristics of relapsing pruritus and chronic inflammation, AD has caused heavy burden on children and adults, as well as healthcare providers and family members. As a multi-factorial disease, AD has been considered primarily derived by Th2 dysfunction, with clinical and molecular heterogeneity. The current therapeutic regimens are various and largely due to the diversity in the wide spectrum of the clinical phenotypes based on epidermal barrier disruption, genetic predisposition, and dysregulation of patients’ immune system. Meanwhile there’s an urgent need for developing safer and long-term agents to efficiently control moderate to severe AD. In this book chapter, we mainly summarized the fundamental concept, clinical manifestation, pathophysiology and molecular mechanisms of AD, and in particular, the biofunction and modulation of natural killer (NK) cells for AD. Collectively, the contents in this chapter will help further understand the landscape of this disease and the rationale behind new emerging therapies.

Corruption and New Insights in Lebanon
Authors: Fahed-Sreih Josiane
Published: August 2023

This research study aims to provide new insights into the issue of corruption in Lebanon by examining its impact on various sectors of the country, the role of the government in tackling corruption, and the effectiveness of current anti-corruption measures. Lebanon is ranked 149th out of 180 countries in Transparency International’s 2020 Corruption Perceptions Index, highlighting the widespread nature of the issue. To achieve the research objectives, we adopted a mixed-methods approach that involved both quantitative and qualitative data collection methods. Specifically, we conducted an online questionnaire that received responses from a diverse sample of Lebanese citizens, including government officials, business leaders, and the general public. We also conducted interviews with key stakeholders, including representatives from civil society organizations and government agencies. The study’s findings reveal that corruption has a significant impact on the country’s economy, businesses, electricity, and pollution levels. The study also highlights the challenges faced by the government in effectively addressing corruption and the limitations of current anti-corruption measures. Based on our analysis, we provide policy recommendations that can help improve the effectiveness of anti-corruption efforts in Lebanon.
The Critically Endangered Pampa Cat (Leopardus munoai) on the Brink of Extinction in Brazil: The Little We Know and an Action Plan to Try to Save It

Published: August 2023

Leopardus munoai, the Pampa cat, is a small felid (ca. 3–4 kg) recently separated from the Leopardus colocola complex. This Pampa cat is endemic to the Pampas grasslands of Uruguay, western Argentina and southernmost Brazil. Originally, the Pampas had a long history of extensive cattle ranching; however, its fields have been exponentially converted mostly to soy fields in the last five decades. Species distribution models have shown a reduction in their area (1997–2022) of 42%, with only 31,808 km2 of suitable habitat remaining. Despite the Brazilian Pampas being surveyed in their entirety, no records of this felid have ever been repeated at the same site in different years since 1997 (50,000 trap-nights; >400,000 km of highway day/night crossing). This effort generated only 32 records (17 road-kills). Despite the huge detection efforts, there has never been a confirmed resident population detected anywhere. The scenario that unfolds is of an extremely rare felid that seems to use the vanishing native herbaceous fields, which are dependent upon cattle grazing, in replacement of the original (now extinct) grazing megafauna. With an expected population of 45–50 individuals, which has become virtually extinct in its original eastern portion, all signs point towards imminent extinction.
For an Ethics of Equity: Working Women in the Present between Guilt and Freedom
Authors: Salazar Ana
Published: August 2023

This article deals with the importance of reflecting on the experience of working women based on an analysis of the gender social order. It identifies the effects of simultaneously assuming domestic and work roles to make visible the emotional implications that affect women’s health and way of life. Although it could be said that the female population has achieved significant conquests regarding their collective rights, in everyday life, the old and the new order coexist in relation to society’s expectations of them. The work is the result of qualitative research applied to the University of Cuenca teachers, where the gender gaps in the academic career are identified, as well as the limitations for personal and professional development throughout their academic experience. This reality is reproduced in all work environments, negatively affecting the construction of women’s autonomy as social subjects, and arises from the double working day that the female population assumes, which in turn benefits the current neoliberal economic model.
Ethics as the Basis of the Degree Process Analysis in the Nursing Programs at the Catholic University of Cuenca
Authors: Rengel Mayra-Alexandra
Published: August 2023

Ethics is understood as the set of moral norms that govern a person’s behavior in any area of life. It directly influences the processes of university education from admission to graduation. From this idea, the present work aims to demonstrate the direct influence of ethics on the results of the degree processes. The method used is deductive, and the research is descriptive, which makes it possible to explain through statistical indicators how ethical actions and the practice of institutional values by students, teachers, and administrative staff enable achieving satisfactory results in self-assessment—Academy Criterion—and its direct impact on the number of students graduating at the end of each academic term. These indicators are evidenced in the degree process developed in the Nursing careers (main campus, Azogues and Cañar campuses) of the Catholic University of Cuenca.
Reconstruction of Ethics: Nature as a Subject of Rights
Authors: Moreno-Morejón Fernando
Published: August 2023

The recognition of the rights to a new subject, nature, and its moral consideration requires an ethical analysis for the theoretical-legal construction. In anthropocentric thought, the relationship between humans and living beings is discussed from the definition of their power and hierarchy towards the environment. In contrast, Andean philosophy surpasses the vision of an independent rational subject, alien to nature and reaffirms its interconnection, interdependence and cooperation between all living beings in the community, with a fundamental approach to the care of life. Against this background, this question was proposed: Does the existing value scheme in today’s societies ensure the vital processes of nature? or is it necessary to change the ethical-moral paradigm in which nature is subject to rights? This work, considering the Andean philosophy and ancestral knowledge, the path of intercultural interpretation of human-nature relations marked through the jurisprudence of the Constitutional Court of Ecuador that recognizes the ethical and moral principles that regulates them, which proposes the use of natural resources in a sustainable way, avoiding their exploitation and guaranteeing the survival of species and ecosystems. A combination of the historical, comparative, analytical, and argumentative method was used as an investigative method.
Anomaly Detection in Medical Time Series with Generative Adversarial Networks: A Selective Review
Authors: Cekić Miloš
Published: August 2023

Anomaly detection in medical data is often of critical importance, from diagnosing and potentially localizing disease processes such as epilepsy to detecting and preventing fatal events such as cardiac arrhythmias. Generative adversarial networks (GANs) have since their inception shown promise in various applications and have been shown to be effective in cybersecurity, data denoising, and data augmentation, and have more recently found a potentially important place in the detection of anomalies in medical time series. This chapter provides a selective review of this novel use of GANs, in the process highlighting the nature of anomalies in time series, special challenges related to medical time series, and some general issues in approaching time series anomaly detection with deep learning. We cover the most frequently applied GAN models and briefly detail the current landscape of applying GANs to anomaly detection in two commonly used medical time series, electrocardiography (ECG) and electroencephalography (EEG).

Published: August 2023

Background: Obesity is one of the causes of insulin resistance. Although it has been speculated that nettle is probably a safe treatment for insulin resistance, considering the shortage of evidence on its effects, we aimed to assess the effect of nettle extract on insulin resistance and metabolic parameters in obese children. Methods: In this paralleled-randomized controlled clinical trial, 64 children aged 12 - 18 years with obesity were randomly divided into two groups. The intervention group received nettle syrup twice a day for 12 weeks in addition to a specific diet, and the control group followed the diet alone. Demographic characteristics and metabolic results, and lipid profile were checked. Data were analyzed by IBM SPSS Statistics Version 24.0, and a P-value < 0.05 indicated statistical significance. Results: The results showed that most patients in the groups were girls. In the inter-group analyses, results showed significant differences in terms of FBS (P = 0.043), LDL (P = 0.023), and Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) (P = 0.025) after eight weeks. Although FBS (P = 0.044) had a significant difference in the 12th week and was higher in the intervention group, it was still in the normal range. Conclusions: This study revealed that administering nettle syrup can be helpful for patients with obesity with no significant adverse effects, and it considerably reduced LDL, T-Chol, and HOMA-IR. Despite our promising results, further multicenter studies with larger sample sizes in this age group can be beneficial to confirm our results.

Published: August 2023

Background: Prostate cancer is a common disease in men, with the second-highest incidence rate and the fifth-highest mortality rate worldwide. Diagnoses to determine prostate cancer need to be based on factors such as rectal examination, total PSA in serum, and the result of a prostate biopsy. Our study aimed to evaluate the results of rectal prostate biopsies of 12 cores under the direction of ultrasound. Objectives: Assess results of transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy by the method of 12 cores. Methods: This was cross-sectional research of 60 patients with prostate tumors with indications for biopsy from 5/2021 to 5/2022 at the Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital. Our research conducts medical history and patient history to score 2 points on IPSS (International Prostate Syndrome Score) and QoL (Quality of Life Index), and we use the descriptive statistic method to analyze data. The indications for the prostate biopsy were abnormal digital rectal examination findings and/or an elevated serum total prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level (greater than 10 ng/mL). The participants received prophylactic vein bacsulfo (1000 mg) and oral metronidazol (500 mg) before and maintained continued after about 3 days. A Fleet enema was self-administered the night before the procedure for rectal cleansing. Results: The average age of patients was 68.72, and the most common reason for hospitalization was dysuria at 80%. The average IPSS was 26.21 ± 4.49, the average QoL was 3.38 ± 0.67, and the average total PSA was 26.11 ng/mL. The prostate cancer detection rate after the biopsy was 40% (24/60). Gleason’s scores determined accounted for 45.83% (11/24) from 8 points or more. There were two cases of strong rectal bleeding (3.33%) and one case of strong hematuria (1.67%). Conclusions: Transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy is valuable in the diagnosis of prostate cancer and feasible at our hospital.

Context

Gene editing–based therapies are currently in development in the areas of oncology, inherited disease, and infectious disease. These potentially life-altering therapies are derived from decades of research in both academic and industry settings that developed technologies rooted in principles and products of nature. However, with such technologic developments come many important considerations, including adverse risks, high cost, and ethical questions.

Objective

To educate pathologists about gene editing technologies, inform them of potential indications and risks, outline regulatory and practical issues that could affect hospital-based practice and laboratory testing, and advocate that pathologists need to be present at discussions among industry and regulators pertaining to gene editing–based therapies.

Design

A Gene Editing Workgroup, facilitated by the College of American Pathologists Personalized Health Care Committee and consisting of pathologists of various backgrounds, was convened to develop an educational paper to serve as a stimulus to increase pathologist involvement and inquiry in gene editing therapeutic and diagnostic implementation.

Results

Through multiple discussions and literature review, the workgroup identified potential gaps in pathologists' knowledge of gene editing. Additional topics that could impact pathology and laboratory medicine were also identified and summarized in order to facilitate pathologists as stakeholders in gene editing therapy administration and monitoring and potential use in diagnostics.

Conclusions

Gene editing therapy is a complex but potentially transformative area of medicine. This article serves as an introduction to pathologists to assist them in future discussions with colleagues and potentially identify and alter pathology practices that relate to gene editing.

Published: August 2023

Hyperglycemia in diabetes mellitus (DM) increases the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). That condition causes a decrease in antioxidant defense activity in the body so that the body cannot fight free radicals and triggers diabetic macroangiopathy complications. One source of natural antioxidants is the Bajakah stem (Uncaria sp.). which has antioxidant and antihyperglycemic effects. so it is expected to inhibit oxidative damage in DM. This study aimed to determine the effect of the extract of bajakah stem on antihyperglycemic activity. the antioxidant enzyme activity of SOD. and MDA levels in streptozotocin-induced rats. This study used an experimental method consisting of 5 treatments: two control groups (NC. PC) and three treatment groups (P1. P2. P3). and five replications for 21 days. Antioxidant activity was measured by scavenging the activity of hydroxyl radicals. Furthermore. testing of antihyperglycemic and antioxidant activity using test animals (rats). divided into three doses. namely 100. 200. and 400 mg/kg BW. This study used one-way ANOVA and Duncan's mean difference test. Results showed that the ethanol extract of the bajakah stem (Uncaria sp.) contained alkaloids. flavonoids. tannins. saponins. triterpenoids. and steroids. The antioxidant activity test of the pirated extract obtained IC50 55.646 ppm. and a dose of 100 mg/kg BW had the best activity as antihyperglycemic. increased SOD enzyme activity. and decreased MDA levels

Deterrence by Deception: Historic Lessons and Contemporary Methods
Authors: Hood David
Published: August 2023

This paper examines how the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) has incorporated deception into its ground operations historically, and what lessons can be identified from this experience. Lessons include acknowledging the importance of engaging both experts and the wider public in deception efforts; and recognising that deception is both a passive and active means of deterrence. The paper then explores how the RAAF can apply deception in new and innovative ways. This work focusses on the airpower ground environment for two reasons: (1) deception is less widely employed compared to other means of deception applied for airborne capabilities; and (2) deception can be more effective, cheaper and easier to implement compared to other means of denial applied in the ground environment. These reasons make the inclusion of deception measures attractive in the current Defence environment.

The results show land theology provides an explanation of the understanding of the value of land intrigue according to the Culture of the Toba Batak People that their ancestors valued the land so much that the land was his own identity. The value of land restriction understood by the ancestors of the Toba Batak people departs from the totalitarian understanding that microcosmic and macrocosmic connections explain how humans relate to God, humans to their environment and humans to humans. The relationship is arranged in a value system that makes the land so identical to itself that the ancestors of the Toba Batak people call that the land is surnamed. From this relationship then born philosophy as an ideal that became the purpose of the life of the Toba Batak community in its development so that the value and meaning of the land became lost. The Toba Batak community then as understood anthropomism made land as an instrument for achieving economic value. Land is no longer viewed from its intrinsic value in the cultural value of the Toba Batak people, causing ecological crises and conflicts. Therefore, if the Toba Batak community was born from a culture inherited from ancestors to the present. Thus loving Culture becomes concrete evidence of loving the land.

Published: August 2023

The article is the result of a joint reflection by two artist-researchers on artistic-pedagogical practices of compassion and poetics of care in academia. Through two socially engaged art projects carried out in two different universities - at the Federal University of the State of Rio de Janeiro (UNIRIO) and at Queensborough Community College at the City University of New York (CUNY-QCC) - the article proposes a reflection on art as a collective practice of well-being and peaceful resistance. Through meditation, and somatic and artistic alternatives, the article invites us to contemplate the blue sky beyond the dense clouds it carries - that is, it invites us into the imagination of other possible worlds.
