IGF-1 infusion increases growth in fetal sheep when euinsulinemia is maintained
Authors: Stremming Jane , Chang Eileen I , White Alicia , Rozance Paul J , Brown Laura D
Published: May 2024

Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) is a critical fetal anabolic hormone. IGF-1 infusion to the normally growing sheep fetus increases the weight of some organs but does not consistently increase body weight. However, IGF-1 infusion profoundly decreases fetal plasma insulin concentrations, which may limit fetal growth potential. In this study, normally growing late-gestation fetal sheep received an intravenous infusion of either: IGF-1 (IGF), IGF-1 with insulin and dextrose to maintain fetal euinsulinemia and euglycemia (IGF+INS), or vehicle control (CON) for 1 week. The fetus underwent a metabolic study immediately prior to infusion start and after 1 week of the infusion to measure uterine and umbilical uptake rates of nutrients and oxygen. IGF+INS fetuses were 23% heavier than CON (P = 0.0081) and had heavier heart, liver, and adrenal glands than IGF and CON (P < 0.01). By design, final fetal insulin concentrations in IGF were 62% and 65% lower than IGF+INS and CON, respectively. Final glucose concentrations were similar in all groups. IGF+INS had lower final oxygen content than IGF and CON (P < 0.0001) and lower final amino acid concentrations than CON (P = 0.0002). Final umbilical oxygen uptake was higher in IGF+INS compared to IGF and CON (P < 0.05). Final umbilical uptake of several essential amino acids was higher in IGF+INS compared to CON (P < 0.05). In summary, maintaining euinsulinemia and euglycemia during fetal IGF-1 infusion is necessary to maximally support body growth. We speculate that IGF-1 and insulin stimulate placental nutrient transport to support fetal growth.

The Career of Scribes of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Factors That influenced It according to the 1566–1623 Lithuanian Metrics Data
Authors: Malašinskienė Vita
Published: May 2024

The article examines what influence the number of signed documents had on the careers of GDL scribes. In order to do this, a statistical method is used in this article. The statistical data (see appendices no. 2 and 3) lead to the conclusion that persons who were active in their daily work were more successful in climbing the career ladder. These are Leonas Sapiega, Gabrielius Vaina, Eustachijus Valavičius (the future bishop of Vilnius) and Aleksandras Gosievskis. These individuals have one thing in common – they all started working in the office at a relatively young age. The conducted research allows to see a connection between a person’s education, his professional activity and a more successful career. However, it is important not to forget the informavo influence as well. For example, M. Vaina was one of the most active scribes of the LDK office, but he did not have an impressive career. The importance and influence of education on the career of a scribe is also illustrated by the case of Valavičius brothers. E. Valavičius surpassed his older brother Jeronimas with having a better education, being more active in the chancellery which allowed him to reach the post of chancellor sooner. This case shows that it didn’t matter how long a person had worked in the office before moving up the career ladder. Consequently, education, activity and the ability to maintain good relations with the social environment were more important for the career of a scribe than the work experience.

Constitutions of the Chapter of Samogitian Cathedral: Letter, Spirit, Life
Authors: Jovaiša Liudas
Published: May 2024

The aim of the paper is to examine implementation of the laws of the cathedral chapter of the diocese of Samogitia according to the acts of the general sessions of the chapter (for the period from 1613 to 1913). The corpus of the constitutions, or statutes of the chapter was created in 1561–62 by the famous mid-16th century Lithuanian lawyers, Canon Pedro Ruiz de Moros (Petrus Roysius) and Bishop Joannes Domanowski. Despite the fact that already in 1637 Bishop Georgius Tyszkiewicz added some new constitutions (published in the annex of the paper), and there were subsequent attempts to ‘modernize’ the old corpus of the constitutions in the late 18th – early 19th century, the Roysian statutes retained their validity and exceptional authority in the life of the Samogitian cathedral chapter as long as 1925 when the old statutes were fundamentally revised.The constitutions predominantly influenced decisions of the chapter via hearing and memory. Due to the limited copies of the text which had to be not too much multiplicated in order to preserve secrecy, majority of canons were aware of the contents of the constitutions from reading aloud (usually, in fragments than in extenso) during the general sessions of the chapter. Perhaps this could explain occasional cases of erroneous allusion to the text of the constitutions in the decisions of the chapter. In some other cases, aspiration to ground the decisions of the chapter with solid arguments could inspire canons to invoke hardly definable ‘spirit’ (mens) of the constitutions. However, usually the constitutions were quoted correctly; the cases of clear reference to specific articles of the constitutions found in the acts of the general sesssions of the chapter are listed and described in the final part of the paper.
Vaginal vault prolapse avoiding failure in colposacropexy
Authors: Siu-Au, PhD, MD Alejandro , Siu Chang MD Diego
Published: May 2024

Introduction: Vault prolapse is an entity that will be seen more frequently and regardless of the approach to the problem, the most important thing is that the suspension of the vault is as durable or permanent as possible. There are many techniques but colposacrosuspension with mesh application has been considered the best and is the Gold Standard. This study, for the success of surgery, evaluates the number of sutures of the vaginal vault to the sacrospinous bone using a mesh for the approximation and suspension of the vault prolapse. Material and methods: There were four groups of 185 patients, in which one pair of sutures was used in the first group, two pairs of sutures were used in the second group, three pairs of sutures were used in the third group, and four pairs of sutures were used in the fourth group structures. Results: The fourth group was the most successful when none had recurrences over time, constituting 100% success. Conclusion: Four pairs of sutures should be applied, four from the vaginal vault to the mesh and four from the mesh to the sacrospinous bone, thus constituting a successful colposacropexy.

Patients and Methods: This was a prospective, descriptive study conducted from 1 June 2019 to 31 October 2022, Inclusion criteria comprised women who seeked consultation at HIAA due to unilateral or bilateral gigantomastia, have a benign primary or tumoral gigantomastia. Participants were required to consent to a minimum follow-up period of 6 months post-operation by the HIAA medical team and be available for telephone follow-ups beyond the initial 6 months. Results: The prevalence of gigantomastia was 1.05% (10/952). The mean age of the patients was 27 years. The mean BMI was 27.7 kg/m2. All patients wore a very large (≥D) cup size. The mean breast axis was 36.25 cm for straight breasts. The most frequently performed method was the inverted T with superior-internal flap (57%). The average weight of the operative parts was 1350 g for right breasts. Only one patient had delayed skin wound closure. Only one patient had a suture disunion. Regarding the plastic result, two patients were classified <> and the other two (50%) <>. Two patients report << very satisfied>>and the other two were satisfied. Conclusion: This study presented the preliminary results of an ongoing study at the HIAA. The inverted T technique with syuperomedial flap was the most commonly used, with few early complications. The plastic results after the 6th month are appreciable.
Contribution of mammography in the diagnosis of breast tumours at the senology unit of the chu aristid le dantec hospital
Authors: Samb Dr Fatou , MM Niang , SMK Gueye
Published: May 2024

Introduction: In Senegal, breast cancer is the second most common cancer in women after cervical cancer.1 It is responsible for a high mortality rate of around 70% after five years,2 as in many other developing countries. Mammography plays an important role in the screening and diagnosis of breast diseases. The unfavourable conditions in our regions are at the origin of the inaccessibility and unavailability of this diagnostic tool. Objectives: The objective of our study was to evaluate the availability, accessibility and use of mammography in the diagnosis of breast diseases in the Senology Unit of the University Hospital Aristide Le Dantec in Dakar. Materials and methods: This was a descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study of 120 patients followed at the Senology Unit of the Aristide Le Dantec University Hospital in Dakar, during the period from 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2014. The parameters studied were: the socio-economic profile of women, the geographical distribution of functional mammography centres, the time taken to perform mammography, its cost, its quality and its contribution to diagnosis. Results: In our study, the majority of patientes lived in the suburbs of Dakar (67.5%). The average age was 44.2 years. More than half (54.2%) had no regular source of income. The rate of use of mammography was 8.9%. The average cost was 48,944 FCFA. The average time taken to carry out a mammogram after it was prescribed was 28.8 days. In 76.6% of cases, mammography was performed for diagnostic purposes. In no case was an additional examination performed. As regards the quality of the mammographic examination, in 17.5% of cases the usual marking was not respected and the transparency of the images was not optimal in 26.6% of cases. The validity criteria were not met in 18.3% of the results and the American College of Radiology (ACR) BIRADS classification was used in 95 patients (79.2%). Payment before the examination was carried out was in cash in the majority of cases (70.8%). However, the difference in cost was significant according to the type of imaging centre (p = 0.015). Conclusion: Mammography was characterised by the unavailability of centres, a fairly long time to carry out the examination and a lower quality of the examinations.
Placenta accreta on non-scarred uterus: About a case
Authors: Zineb Tazi , Sara Boumaaza , Fatimzehra Fdili Alaoui , Sofia Jayi , Hikmat Chaara , Abdelilah Melhouf Moulay
Published: May 2024

Placenta accreta is an abnormally adherent placenta (abnormal adhesion of the placenta to the myometrium), due to the localized or diffuse absence of the decidua basalis. Its incidence increases with increasing cesarean section rates. Placenta accreta in a non-scarred uterus is very rare but remains possible due to other risk factors which are age, smoking, placenta preavia and finally invasive endouterine procedures. Among its consequences, we first note the hemorrhage of delivery which can be associated with significant maternal morbidity and mortality, uterine rupture and also the invasion of adjacent organs by the placental trophoblast. We report an interesting case of placenta accreta on a non-scarred uterus discovered during a planned cesarean section for placenta previa. This is a 41-year-old patient with no history of scarred uterus, 5th procedure, 3rd parity, with history of spontaneous miscarriage cured at 2 months, pregnant at 39 weeks, unmonitored pregnancy, admitted to the maternity emergency room for two days before for delivery method where the parturient benefited from a clinical examination and an obstetric ultrasound showing a completely covering anterior placenta, amniotic fluid of normal quantity and an estimate of the fetal weight at 2800g, then scheduled for a cesarean section. The diagnosis of placenta accreta is made during cesarean section. We opted for radical treatment. Placenta accreta is a pathology at risk of serious hemorrhagic complications during pregnancy and the postpartum period. This should encourage us to systematically search for ultrasound criteria for placenta accreta. The ultrasound report, in these patients, must explicitly mention this. Adequate care in the presence of a multidisciplinary team makes it possible to limit the mortality and morbidity associated with this pathology.

Authors: Berraondo-Piudo Mikel
Published: May 2024

Este trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar la actitud de la justicia en el reino de Navarra frente a los crímenes más violentos, en el contexto de los siglos XVI y XVII. Se trató de una justicia que poseía importantes armas de disuasión como las penas de muerte o galeras, pero que en rara ocasión llegó a aplicarlas. El texto analiza tanto la legislación navarra sobre estos crímenes como su aplicación práctica gracias a los cientos de procesos sobre agresión con resultado de muerte conservados en el Archivo General de Navarra.

Erasmismo y estoicismo: una hipótesis para el estudio de las relaciones entre política y espiritualidad en la monarquía hispánica del siglo XVI
Authors: Ortiz-Pereira Daniel
Published: May 2024

La relación entre Erasmo y el estoicismo apenas tiene peso en la historiografía política y filosófica contemporánea y, sin embargo, presenta una relevancia de primer orden a la hora de arrojar luz sobre la compleja espiritualidad de los círculos cortesanos y humanistas de finales del siglo xvi. Así mismo, es de gran interés en lo que respecta a la comprensión de los alcances antropológicos y políticos del proyecto erasmiano, cuyas fuentes filosóficas no están lo suficientemente analizadas. El presente artículo se propone exponer y esclarecer la naturaleza de dicha relación y ponerla en el contexto de la gran problemática histórica e intelectual de la Monarquía Hispánica.

Verification of the Theoretical Energy Requirement of Underweight, Normal Weight and Overweight Young Women Using Ergospirometry
Authors: Jachimowicz-Rogowska Karolina , Winiarska-Mieczan Anna , Glibowski Paweł , Aleksandrowicz-Niedziela Ilona , Smagała Iwona , Bielak Agata
Published: May 2024

The research aim was to verify the theoretic energy requirement of young women and to calculate correlations between body mass index (BMI) and energy requirement, on the one hand, and the parameters obtained from bioelectrical impedance analysis on the other. The study was conducted in a group of 32 women grouped based on their BMI: underweight n = 8, normal weight n = 15, and overweight n = 9. Predictive formulas were observed to underestimate the energy requirement compared to values obtained with the use of ergospirometry. The smallest difference in Resting Energy Expenditure (REE) estimates using an ergospirometry apparatus was observed for the Cunningham equation (underweight: 1507 vs 1350 kcal) and the Harris-Benedict equation (normal weight: 1641 vs 1437 kcal; overweight: 1882 vs 1609 kcal). A significant statistical correlation was recorded in the juxtaposition of BMI to weight in the normal weight and in the overweight group. REE estimation based on formulas has only limited predictive value. Indirect calorimetry is recommended for measuring the REE rather than predictive equations.
Kilka uwag na temat obrazu Chrystusa ukrzyżowanego w kościele pw. Podwyższenia Krzyża Świętego w Kazimierzy Wielkiej
Authors: Dzikowska Greta
Published: May 2024

Celem artykułu jest zwrócenie uwagi na obraz Chrystusa Ukrzyżowanego znajdujący się w ołtarzu głównym w kościele pod wezwaniem Podwyższenia Krzyża Świętego w Kazimierzy Wielkiej, który od przeszło dwustu lat uchodzi za dzieło wybitnego malarza – Franciszka Smuglewicza. Zasadne byłoby gruntowne badanie konserwatorskie, które pozwoliłoby m.in. nakreślić ramy czasowe powstania obrazu, a być może nawet wskazać autora. Do tej pory motywem przewodnim w publikacjach dotyczących kościoła przy wspomnieniu obrazu pojawiają się tylko przypuszczenia, co do autora, a nazwisko Smuglewicza, jako twórcy dzieła owiane jest legendą. W swojej pracy skupiłam się na opisie i analizie ikonograficznej dzieła, co pozwoliło na umiejscowienie kazimierskiego obrazu wśród innych dzieł ukazujących ewangeliczny temat Ukrzyżowania Chrystusa, nierzadko czerpiących ze sztuki wielkich mistrzów, jak np. z twórczości Petera Paula Rubensa.

Published: May 2024

Purpose. The article explores the impact of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and their role and place in the dynamics of the digital economy. The aim of this research is to assess the impact of the digital economy on GDP per capita in EU countries. Methodology. Analysis of ICT as a key factor in enhancing economic growth through the implementation of digital technology opportunities. Panel data from Eurostat and the World Bank covering EU countries from 2014 to 2021 were used for analysis. A correlation analysis was then conducted between variables, and the model was relevant for forecasting. Results. The number of studies on the impact of Information and Communication Technologies on the economic growth of countries has increased in recent years. However, there is still no assessment of the real GDP impact on the level of household Internet access in the EU area. Studying this gap in the literature allows us to draw conclusions about the implications for stakeholders regarding more effective implementation of the digital agenda. Scientific novelty. The digital economy, measured by Internet, mobile phone, and fixed broadband access, influences the economic growth of a country. This, in turn, depends on the level of technology measures covering the digital economy. ICT positively influence the development of countries' economies and can be used as tools by stakeholders. These agents should generate policies that enhance ICT technological infrastructure, digital empowerment of the population, and greater access to ICT. The GDP level model is presented as a function of Internet access for households in the EU area along with a short-term forecast for this index. It is shown that investments in ICT infrastructure are indispensable for the development of a strong knowledge- and digital technology-based economy. Practical significance. The research results will help in identifying opportunities and levers of influence for governmental institutions and other socio-economic systems on the impact of digital economy development processes on GDP per capita in EU countries.

The use of preventive measures such as detention enforcement is due to the restriction of fundamental rights. Particularly noteworthy is the issue of the feasibility of choosing this preventive measure for people with vision impairment. The aim of the research is determining the system of general standards of detention of persons with physical disabilities (in particular, visually impaired). The empirical base of the research is the national legislation of Ukraine, international acts, decisions of the European Court of Human Rights, data of the Integrated State Register of Court Decisions. The methodological basis is a set of general and special scientific methods, in particular, formal-legal (legal- technical) method of research, hermeneutical method, statistical method, system-structural method. On the basis of the research, taking into account the legal position of the ECtHR, the authors propose to distinguish the general standards of detention of persons with physical disabilities (in particular, visually impaired), such as: (1) detention should be reasonable in time; (2) it should not lead to health deterioration (compared to the natural course of the disease); (3) the prisoner should be provided with adequate medical care at an appropriate level; (4) the physical condition of the person in custody should not make him or her dependent on other persons being held with him or her in custody; (5) the conditions in which the person is remanded in custody must be appropriate to the physical condition of the person and cannot be considered separately from the person’s disability; (6) constant more intense surveillance should be provided to prevent any deterioration in health than might be the case if the person were not imprisoned; (7) if there is an appropriate medical finding that a person is not in custody, he or she should be considered by a competent subject for a possible change in the measure of detention or place of detention. The authors pointed out some shortcomings in the legislation and the law enforcement practice of this issue.

This scientific article examines current practical and theoretical issues related to the exercise of the right to inherit. Particular attention is paid to the study of the development of legal bases and research on the exercise of the right to inheritance. The exercise of the right to inherit is considered as a complex concept that provides ways to exercise the right to inherit, reflecting the dynamics of inheritance and deepening the relationship between the rules of substantive and procedural law. This article focuses on the study of ways to exercise the right to inherit. The peculiarities of the procedure for exercising the right to inherit by submitting an application for acceptance of the inheritance, by applying to notaries, are analyzed. Particular attention is paid to the need to distinguish between the legal nature of the application for a certificate of inheritance and the application for acceptance of the inheritance. The article defines the essence and purpose of establishing the conditions and forms of inheritance, as well as the types and procedure for refusing to accept the inheritance. It is emphasized that established by the Civil Code of Ukraine, that the forms and conditions of acceptance of inheritance to protect the rights and legitimate interests of heirs, and do not provide an alternative method of acceptance of inheritance. Particular attention is also paid to the exercise of the right to renounce the inheritance by the heirs, who are subject to the presumption of acceptance of the inheritance. Through scientific analysis of judicial and notarial practice concerning the adoption of measures for the protection of hereditary property, which is in the individual legal orders of an individual, it is argued that in the case of storage of property in a bank safe there is no purpose to perform this notarial act. The legal nature of the term for acceptance of the inheritance is determined, and the legal consequences of missing the term for acceptance of the inheritance are clarified. The procedure and grounds for division (allocation) and redistribution of inheritance are revealed. As a result of the analysis of judicial and notarial practice, a number of proposals were developed to improve notarial proceedings in inheritance cases, including inheritance, consent of heirs who inherited, acceptance of inheritance by heir who missed the deadline for acceptance of inheritance, withdrawal of applications for inheritance and renunciation of inheritance. On the basis of this study, some theoretical conclusions and proposals for improving the current legislation have been formulated.

Published: May 2024

Wood–plastic composites are prepared by melting and mixing wood flour (WF) and thermoplastics, which have green and biodegradable advantages and are of great significance in the development of the era of global resource scarcity. In this work, recycled polypropylene and WF were used as raw materials and commercially available maleic anhydride–grafted polypropylene (MAH-g-PP) was used as a compatibilizer. The extrusion injection-molding method was used and investigated by varying the amounts of WF and compatibilizer added. The composites were analyzed for micromorphology, melt mass flow rate, mechanical properties and thermal stability by scanning electron microscopy, using a melt flow rate tester, using an electronic universal testing machine and thermogravimetric analysis, respectively. According to the results, WF shows a positive effect in terms of the storage and loss moduli of the composites, but it shows a negative effect in terms of thermal stability and mechanical properties. As an effective compatibilizer, MAH-g-PP plays an important role in improving the mechanical properties of the composites, particularly at an additional level of 4 wt%, which maximizes the overall performance of the composites.

In this study, porous carbon electrodes were prepared by using walnut shells and phenolic resin as matrix materials, combined with selective laser sintering technology and the carbonization process. The effects of different ratios and temperatures on the macroscopic morphology, graphitization degree, electrical conductivity and pore structure of the carbonized parts were investigated. The results show that a lower proportion of walnut shells and a higher carbonization temperature increase the degree of graphitization. A high temperature has a significant effect on conductivity. The conductivity at 1000°C is 7.519 S/cm, which is 752% higher than that at 600°C, while the conductivity at 30% walnut shell content is only 75.4% higher than that at 50%. This study provides a new reference for the preparation of carbon electrodes with complex shape and structure from biomass consumables.
