Background

The acute adaptation of the nitinol-based stent frame self expandable valve to the aortic root after deployment is poorly understood. Accordingly, this study aimed to assess the occurrence, degree and determinants of acute adaptation of the nitinol-based stent frame self-expandable valves after implantation.

Methods

This is a single-site prospective registry including patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with a widely used second-generation nitinol-based self-expandable device (Evolut R, Medtronic, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA). We measured valve diameters at three different sections: distal (aortic) level, central (annulus) level and proximal (ventricular) level. Valve expansion was estimated by the difference between the diameters calculated immediately after valve deployment (A) and at the end of the procedure (B). The absolute and relative stent changes were defined as B-A and (B-A)/B∗100, respectively. A linear regression model was performed to test the association between the degree of valve extension at each segment with baseline and procedural characteristics.

Results

A total of 58 consecutive TAVR patients were included in this analysis, with a mean age of 82.12 ± 5.28 years. Out of the total, 46% of the patients had chronic kidney disease, 32% had diabetes and 76% had dyslipidaemia. The mean procedural time was 28.11 ± 11.6 min, with 53.45% of predilation. Postdilation was performed only in 3.5% of patients. Final stent diameters were significantly higher than those achieved immediately after valve implantation – an observation that was consistent for all the segments: 0.50 ± 0.51 mm and 2.48 ± 2.57% (P < 0.01) in the proximal, 0.46 ± 0.57 mm and 2.39 ± 2.96% (P < 0.01) in the central, as well as 0.58 ± 0.59 mm and 2.14 ± 2.14% (P < 0.01) at the distal segments. Postdilation significantly affected the expansion of the central segment, and, albeit not significantly, the proximal one, while no changes were observed for the distal portion of the platform.

Conclusion

This is the first study to have documented a significant degree of the Evolut R self-expandable valve expansion after deployment. However, further studies are required to assess the short- and long-term time course of self-expandable valve enlargement and the clinical relevance of this finding.

OBJECTIVE

To investigate caregivers’ assessments of outcome in dogs with idiopathic epilepsy (IE) administered levetiracetam (LEV), zonisamide (ZNS), or phenobarbital (PB) monotherapy.

ANIMALS

100 dogs with IE administered LEV (n = 34), ZNS (31), or PB (35) monotherapy between January 1, 2003, and February 6, 2019, and survey responses from their caregivers.

PROCEDURES

Information on duration of therapy, adverse effects (AEs), and outcome was obtained from medical record review and caregiver questionnaire.

RESULTS

A significant improvement in mean quality of life score was reported during monotherapy (7.7; SD, 2.14) compared to before treatment (6.25; SD, 2.63; P < .0001), with no difference identified between monotherapy groups. Compared to ZNS monotherapy, dogs prescribed PB monotherapy had a significantly younger median age at seizure onset (2.6 vs 4.3 years; P = .024). A significant relationship was identified between the occurrence of reported AEs and monotherapy group, with a higher prevalence in the PB group (77% [27/35]) and a lower prevalence in the ZNS group (39% [12/31]; P = .0066). Treatment failure rates for PB, LEV, and ZNS monotherapy were 51%, 35%, and 45%, respectively, with failure attributed most commonly to inadequate seizure control. No significant difference was identified between groups with respect to rate of or time to failure.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Most caregivers reported a favorable outcome with administration of LEV, ZNS, or PB monotherapy to dogs with IE. Phenobarbital is associated with the highest prevalence of AEs but no difference in quality of life score. Prospective controlled studies are needed to further compare the efficacy and safety of these monotherapies in dogs with IE.

Published: March 2023

Currently, nanoparticles have gained considerable attention for the treatment of bacterial infectious diseases. The possibility for using this technology as an alternative therapeutic strategy for controlling microbial biofilms, colonizations and infections has been the subject of intense investigations. Even though, the potential toxicity and disadvantage of using nanoparticles, researchers focused on their high penetrability into bacterial membranes, capabilities to disrupt biofilm formation and the role of chemotaxis in this interaction. Face to this significant debate, we discuss the link between metal resistance, bacterial chemotaxis and the promising use of nanoparticles (NP). P. aeruginosa has emerged as a model organism for biofilm studies, the aim of this review is to provide a concise and comprehensive survey of certain relevant aspects related to the research on nanoparticles and these bacteria.

Daily Being and Edible Products for Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden – the First Model of a Healthy Lifestyle According to God’s Instructions (Intelligence Based on the Results of Reading the Book of Genesis from the Holy Scriptures)
Authors:   Danylo Halytsky Lviv National Medical University, Ruden V.
Published: March 2023

Introduction. An axiom for current spiritual life of a person is the fact that since the fall of Adam and Eve in Eden, a certain evolution in the social life of people caused gradual shortening of their lifespan. With this regard an attempt was made to figure out which elements of lifestyle and edible products of mankind progenitors – Adam and Eve in Eden – influenced the duration of human life on the Earth. The aim of the srudy. Clarification of God’s instructions to the progenitors of mankind – Adam and Eve – about mode of everyday life and food consumption in Eden as God’s first option for a healthy lifestyle and evidence the importance of these instructions for the duration of life and human health in the XXI century. Materials and methods. The epidemiological, one-time, continuous study of the Holy Scriptures was carried out using several scientific, epidemiological, and historical research methods, taking into account the principles of systematicity. Results. It was found out that for the first people created by the Lord God, who were settled in the Garden of Eden, the Creator of the Universe established daily guidelines for living and edible products, which they consistently followed for seven years. The mode of life and nutrition standards established by God allowed Adam and Eve to have excellent spiritual and physical strength, bright mind, pure heart, and good will, to live in harmony with the surrounding plant and animal world, and to be able to see and communicate with God, who enlightened and developed their mind and protected them with His grace, and they completely mastered the Lord’s sciences. As revealed the violation of the mode of life established by the Lord through food products “became the cornerstone” in the further coexistence of the first people with God, which led them to fall into sin. It is argued that when God, the Creator of the Universe, angered by such behavior of Adam and Eve, drastically changed their location, lifestyle, and way of food consumption, dooming them and the next human race to disease, old age, and death. The Creator of the World also changed his own man-made object – land – on the environment of the plant and animal world. Conclusions. The Lord’s instructions to the mankind progenitors – Adam and Eve in Paradise – about mode of their living and edible products should be interpreted taking into consideration modern crisis of both individual and public health as the first model of a healthy lifestyle for a person according to the instructions of God. Regarding Ukraine, the Christian country, 67.9 % citizens of which consider themselves believers, and 62.3 % profess Orthodoxy, the observance of these commandments of God remains crucial obcion.

Introduction. Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is an urgent problem in the world. The vast majority of publications indicate the effectiveness of myocardial revascularization in this pathology. However, the effectiveness of this method of treatment in the remote period of GIMeST has not been sufficiently studied. The aim of the study. Analyze the long-term effectiveness of myocardial revascularization in patients after ACS based on literature publications and own results of conducted research. Materials and methods. 42 sources of published literature were used and the results of our own research on increasing the clinical effectiveness of coronary artery stenting by combining it with medical treatment in patients with post-STEMI with cardiovascular events were presented. Results. It has been proven that the 30-month survival rate of a patient with a hemodynamically significant lesion of the coronary artery trunk with drug therapy was 6.4 %, and with CABG – 80.0 %. The best results of myocardial revascularization were observed with CA p-value more than 70.0 % stenosis. It was found that primary coronary intervention in comparison with thrombolytic therapy contributes to a more complete restoration of epicardial impact (III degree according to the TIMI scale). Successful endovascular recanalization of infarct-induced KA helps to limit the area of necrosis and restore the reduced inotropic function of the hibernating myocardium up to 2 hours after the start of ACS. In the later periods of restoration of anterograde blood flow, the beneficial effect is manifested within a year. On the basis of our own research, positive dynamics of improvement in late LV remodeling and reduction of cardiac arrhythmias (SHE, AF, LVPH, and HF) are observed in patients with post-GIMeST after medical treatment. Conclusions. On the basis of the cited literary sources and our own research, it should be noted that in patients who underwent STEMI with cardiovascular events compared to those without cardiovascular events and underwent myocardial revascularization and outpatient drug treatment for two years, there was an increase in LVEF by 12.6 %, respectively, and a decrease in angina attacks by 6.6 %, CHF III and II FC – by 11.9 %, reduces SHE, AF and BLPNH and improves the quality of life. However, mortality 2 years after myocardial revascularization compared with medical treatment did not change significantly, and according to the literature, it decreased after CABG.

Catalytic carbonylation of acrylic acid to succinic anhydride
Authors: Pietraru Marie-Hélène , Lentz Nicolas , Ponsard Louise , Nicolas Emmanuel , Cantat Thibault
Published: March 2023

Alternative sources for polymeric materials have been sought in the past few years to reduce our dependence on fossil feedstock. We report the catalytic carbonylation of acrylic acid, a platform chemical that can be bio-sourced, as a new pathway toward the formation of a useful monomer to polyesters, namely succinic anhydride. The novel system reported herein tackles the difficult carbonylation of unsaturated carboxylic acids through the utilization of an Earth-abundant metal catalyst, [Co2(CO)8], in presence of a bidentate ligand, 1,2-bis(dicyclohexylphosphino)ethane (dcpe), and H2. We investigated the influence of the reaction conditions through the variations of metal, ligand, temperature, pressure, and gas composition variations. The carbonylative ring-closure of acrylic acid was successfully obtained in high yield and selectivity toward the formation of succinic anhydride using mild conditions (90 °C and 16 bar of CO/H2 95:5).
Generating signals at converging liquid fronts to create line-format readouts of soluble assay products in three-dimensional paper-based devices

Published: March 2023

The correct interpretation of the result from a point-of-care device is crucial for an accurate and rapid diagnosis and to guide subsequent treatment. Lateral flow tests (LFTs) use a well- established format that was designed to simplify the user experience. However, the LFT device architecture is inherently limited to detecting analytes that can be captured by molecular recognition. Microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (μPADs), like LFTs, have the potential to be used in diagnostic applications at the point of care. However, μPADs have not gained significant traction outside of academic laboratories, in part, because they have often demonstrated a lack of homogeneous shape or color in signal outputs, which consequently can lead to inaccurate interpretation of results by users. Here, we demonstrate a new class of μPADs that generate colorimetric signals at the interfaces of converging liquid fronts (i.e., lines) to control where colorimetric signals are formed without relying on capture techniques. We demonstrate our approach by developing assays for three classes of analytes—an ion, an enzyme, and a small molecule—using iron (III), acetylcholinesterase, and lactate, respectively. Additionally, we show these devices have the potential to support multiplexed assays by generating multiple lines in a common readout zone. These results highlight the ability of this new paper-based device architecture to aid the interpretation of assays that create soluble products by using flow to constrain those colorimetric products in a familiar, line-format output.

The self-terminating chemistry of atomic layer deposition (ALD) ideally enables the growth of homogeneously distributed materials on an atomic scale. This study investigates the ALD of zinc oxide (ZnO) on mesoporous zirconium oxide (ZrO2) using zinc acetylacetonate [Zn(acac)2] and synthetic air in a fixed-bed powder ALD reactor. A broad variety of methods, including thermogravimetry analysis, scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, low energy ion scattering, X-ray absorption near edge structure, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy-mass spectrometry, and density functional theory calculations were used to analyze the reactant and the resulting samples. The factors affecting the zinc loading (wt%) on ZrO2 were investigated by varying the ALD reaction temperature (160 °C–240 °C), the calcination temperature of zirconium oxide (400 °C–1000 °C) and the ALD cycle number (up to three). The studied process showed self-terminating behavior, with the areal number density of zinc of approximately two atoms per square nanometer per cycle. Zinc was distributed throughout ZrO2. After the Zn(acac)2 reaction, acac ligands were removed using synthetic air at 500 °C. In the following cycles, the already-deposited ZnO acted as nuclei for further ZnO growth. This study demonstrates the potential of Zn(acac)2 as an ALD reactant and provides an initial understanding of ZnO growth via ALD on high surface area porous particles as an example for catalytic applications.
Bacterial Interactions Affecting Chemotherapy Effectiveness
Authors: Chambers Jenni , Illingworth Thomas Arron
Published: March 2023

Chemotherapy resistance is a recurring challenge in cancer treatment, with specific bacteria impairing the effectiveness of certain chemotherapies. This study reviews three bacteria and their impact on chemotherapy drugs: Mycoplasma  and gemcitabine, Fusobacterium nucleatum and oxaliplatin, bacterial β-glucuronase and irinotecan. Bacteria can have wide-ranging effects on cancer treatment; for instance, they may affect drug metabolism, alter toxin conversion, and encourage cancer growth. Whilst the presence of these bacteria was found to have a detrimental effect on the efficacy of chemotherapy treatment, we also consider wider interactions and interdependencies of the microbiota with drug treatments. Some cancer therapies depend on the delicate balance of the microbiome whilst simultaneously disrupting it by their very nature, particularly when antibiotics are introduced. Further research into the complex relationship between bacteria and the tumour micro-environment is needed. Treatments that focus on the immune-oncology microbiome axis or that explore genetic predisposition through the use of biomarkers could also support a more personalised approach.

Co-Designing with Artificial Intelligence. Exploring the use of machine learning in the AEC industry
Authors:   , Blaas Quintin
Published: March 2023

Construction and design workflows are constantly optimised for efficiency to coincide with the technological revolution to reduce time and cost Venkrbec, V., et al., (2018). There is little real-world adoption of artificial intelligence in architectural design processes due to economic constraints requiring known values influenced by a result-driven model. Since the adoption of Computer Aided Architectural Design (CAAD) followed by Building Information Modelling (BIM), there have been untapped project dataset resources to help optimise the design and construction process Pena et al (2021).

Public and private historical design data, when merged with Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools, i.e. Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL), provides valueadded data assessment. The results of ML algorithms can be an informer tool for use in architectural workflows. Using ML within an algorithmic design (AD) can silhouette how the design sector thinks about its application of data already owned and what could theoretically be generated using data from the design process. Building on existing research Stojanovski, T (2021) furthers the use of the industry’s design and construction datasets. Combining the available data with design workflow optimises workflows already in use.

In testing, the research investigates experimental algorithms and generative software modelling to analyse and optimise design workflows showing how AI can influence the human interface with design. The research results were analysed for effectiveness and assessed against current workflows in the absence of this technology to understand the influence researched changes could have on design and construction. The research emphasises the interconnection between current and future applications of data within design and architecture. Implications for design and construction amidst the technological revolution and the need for interdisciplinary conversation are addressed in the findings.

A Comparative Analysis of Local Administration: Examples France and Iraq
Authors: Omar Ali Ali Adil , Assad Nawroz Zrar
Published: March 2023

The concept of decentralization is directly related to the methodology of democratic governance. Because the essence of decentralization, when accepted as local government, is to transfer the authorities from the center to the local
levels and to expand the local base in terms of democratic management by ensuring the participation of the people in the decision-making process. This concept is one of the most important principles of rational governance based
on the participation of citizens in decision-making processes. The modern state resorts to administrative centralism with the administrative organization method at the beginning of its establishment and according to the social,
economic, and political conditions it is in, when the conditions stabilize, its duties increase, its population increases and this causes the expansion of its services. In the context of this topic, the study focuses on the history
of the administrative system of France and Iraq, as both countries have made a number of changes to make reforms that can provide a fair system that serves people on an equal basis. In this direction, in addition to the obstacles
faced by both systems in the decentralization process, the implementation process of decentralization in the Federal system and the Unitary system is also mentioned.

Authors: Suidarma I Made , Antini Ni Luh Ayu Sri
Published: March 2023

Saat ini dunia tengah dihadapkan permasalahan lingkungan terbesar, yakni masalah sampah plastik. Adanya peningkatan jumlah penggunaan plastik membuat jumlah sampah yang dihasilkan ikut meningkat. Berdasarkan pada sebuah riset yang dilakukan oleh Bali Partnership pada tahun 2019, menunjukkan bahwa Bali menghasilkan sampah sampai dengan 4.281 ton per hari. Desa Pemogan ialah salah satu desa yang juga masih berjuang dalam mengatasi permasalahan sampah ini. Beberapa masyarakat di Desa Pemogan memiliki kebiasaan membuang sampah ke sungai atau pun membakarnya. Dalam permasalahan sampah plastik di Desa Pemogan penulis memberi solusi dengan penerapan Ecobrick. Ecobrick merupakan pemanfaatan sampah plastik menjadi blok-blok yang dapat dimanfaatkan menjadi meja, tempat duduk maupun bangunan. Teknik ini dilakukan dengan cara mengisi botol plastik dengan limbah plastik yang sudah di cacah dengan padat. Ecobrick berfungsi untuk menambah usia plastik agar dapat diolah dan dipergunakan kembali. Penerapan Ecobrick ini diharapkan mampu mengurangi jumlah sampah yang terbuang ke lingkungan di sekitar Desa Pemogan.
BAÚ DE MEMÓRIAS: HISTÓRIAS DE VIDA DE EGRESSAS DE UM ORFANATO
Authors: Furtado Vera Lucia Mendes Vieira , Diez Carmen Lucia Fornari , Arruda Marina Patrício de
Published: March 2023

Este artigo tem como foco as memórias de egressas de um orfanato de uma cidade de médio porte localizada no interior do estado de Santa Catarina. Trata-se de um olhar genealógico sobre a trajetória de 35 anos de assistência à infância feminina. A proposta deste estudo foi mostrar o olhar das mulheres que na infância eram internas, sobre o cenário institucional vivenciado. Utilizamos como fundamento a perspectiva genealógica de Michel Foucault por meio da qual procuramos desvelar as circunstâncias que as levaram a viver no Orfanato. Os dados levantados nas entrevistas apresentaram pistas que identificam uma educação que tornou as egressas pessoas dóceis e agradecidas. Abrir o baú dessas memórias tornou-se necessário para a escuta de histórias de vida sobre uma infância empobrecida e abandonada no período de 1955-1990, vivida numa pequena cidade do interior .

EDUCAÇÃO DE SENSIBILIDADE: A MAESTRIA DOS SABERES TRADICIONAIS
Authors: Willms Elni Elisa
Published: March 2023

O texto tem por objetivo apresentar algumas contribuições sobre educação de sensibilidade e como essa postura educativa se apresenta no brincar, na capoeira e na literatura. Trata-se de pesquisa teórica ancorada no campo da antropologia do imaginário, com autores como Gilbert Durand, Marcos Ferreira-Santos, Rogério de Almeida, Michel Maffesoli, Bruno Duborgel, George Gusdorf, entre outros. Discute-se o papel do professor como mestre iniciador da criança no mundo da cultura; o direito ao tempo de brincar livre; a capoeira como prática de educação ancestral – coletiva, circular, com movimento, canto e dança –, além do papel da literatura como convite para pensar sobre a criança que sofre, todos aspectos ou modulações de uma educação de sensibilidade. Conclui-se que o brincar, a literatura e a capoeira evidenciam dimensões de uma educação de sensibilidade que podem conduzir à construção da relação mestre-aprendiz, ou maestria, minimizando assim mecanismos autoritários e etnocêntricos das práticas educativas.

El adecuado modelado de los apoyos y cargas que actúan sobre una viga, es esencial para contribuir al apropiado comportamiento físico de la viga durante su vida. En este artículo se describe una aplicación creada en Matlab y diseñada con la finalidad de contribuir al aprendizaje de los estudiantes (principalmente de ingeniería civil y de arquitectura), en el tema del comportamiento físico y del modelado de las vigas estáticamente determinadas. Particularmente, el énfasisse centra en dos grandes aspectos: a) el comportamiento físico de las vigas y; b) la relación entre la pendiente, la deflexión, la fuerza cortante y el momento flexionante en vigas. La ayuda computacional mencionada permite calcular los valores de fuerza cortante, momento flexionante, pendiente y la deflexión en una viga. Para ese fin es necesario definir los tipos de apoyos de la viga en sus extremos, y el tipo de carga que actúa sobre ella. Los resultados generados por la aplicación se muestran gráficamente y en forma numérica. La aplicación descrita en el presente trabajo permite analizar una viga estáticamente determinada, y puede ejecutarse en cualquier computadora con un sistema operativo Windows 7 ó superior de 64 bits, sin necesidad de tener instalado el software Matlab. Finalmente, se describen ejemplos de uso de la aplicación.
Codificación real de un algoritmo genético con fertilización in vitro aplicado a la sintonización de controladores PID: Una primera aproximación
Authors: García Mejía Juan Fernando , Flores-Fuentes Allan Antonio , Pérez Martínez José Arturo , García Mejía José Antonio
Published: March 2023

Una alternativa de solución a problemas de optimización numérica se encuentra en los métodos heurísticos, uno de ellos es el algoritmo genético simple, el cual ha sido objeto de estudio de varios trabajos que tienen como finalidad mejorar su repetibilidad (estabilidad con respecto al número de ejecuciones) y su convergencia. Un ejemplo de los trabajos anteriores es el uso de un algoritmo computacional desarrollado en 2011 por Camilo y Yamanaka basado en la técnica de reproducción asistida denominada Fertilización In Vitro, usando una codificación basada en números binarios. En ese trabajo se compararon la repetibilidad y la convergencia de un algoritmo genético simple y uno con Fertilización In Vitro ambos con codificación real, utilizando como caso de estudio la minimización del error cuadrático medio de un controlador PID aplicado a la regulación de temperatura de una celda termoeléctrica. Cabe destacar que los códigos escritos para este trabajo fueron desarrollados en Scilab un software de simulación matemática de licencia libre.
Implementando un Algoritmo Competitivo Imperialista para reducir marginalidad en un polígono de los más pobres en Chihuahua.

ElAlgoritmo Competitivo Imperialista (ACI) usa un sistema básico de conocimiento fuente para determinar las mejores situaciones bajo incertidumbre usando un modelo de países, cada uno relacionado al conocimiento observado en varios aspectos del comportamiento social. Este conocimiento está combinado para direccionar las decisiones de los agentes individuales para resolver problemas de optimización o en la solución de la distribución de recursos en diferentes comunidades. En la presente investigación, nosotros simulamos un modelo reactivo bajo incertidumbre para integrar estas diversas fuentes de conocimiento para dirigir la población del agente. Las diferentes fases de solución del problema emergen combinando el uso de estas fuentes de conocimiento y estas fases dan lugar a la aparición de roles individuales dentro de la población en términos de líderes y seguidores para cada país (grupo de agentes). Estos roles dan lugar a la salida de un grupo organizado o grupos organizados en nivel de población y grupos de conocimientos o conocimiento agrupado en el espacio de creencias sociales. Esta aplicación optimiza una función revalorizada en el diseño de problemas de modelado social, permitiendo ilustrar un mejor modelo reactivo bajo incertidumbre.

Published: March 2023

Se realizó con éxito un estudio de factibilidad técnica para un enlace vía microondas, entre dos nodos de la red de súper cómputo Grid Morelos. Se presentan en este trabajo los aspectos técnicos y el análisis sobre los mismos, con el fin de dar un dictamen técnico acerca de la factibilidad del enlace vía microondas entre dos puntos que en principio son cercanos (23 km aproximadamente, sin embargo debido a la orografía del Estado de Morelos hay una diferencia en altitud de 614 metros, aproximadamente. Los análisis están enfocados en la libre línea de vista entre los dos puntos: línea de vista, altura a las que se instalarán las antenas, zonas de Fresnel y parámetros de la antena. El enlace vía microondas es necesario para tener una conexión fija y exclusiva para el uso de la Grid, evitando el uso de la red interna y la salida a internet de ambas instituciones.

Notes of Russian Travelers About Macedonia 1878-1913 Assessed by Russian and Foreign Researchers
Authors:   Institute of Slavic Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences, Gusev Nikita
Published: March 2023

The research highlights the use of travel notes by Russian travelers, journalists, writers and scientists about Macedonia in the period after the Congress of Berlin and before the end of the Balkan Wars of 1912-1913 in Russian, Bulgarian and Macedonian historical research. A number of trends related to the politicized attitude towards these sources in the Balkans due to the lack of consensus on the Macedonian issue was noted. It is also stated in the paper that the scientific potential of Russian travelogues is far from exhausted, but requires a different approach from one which is currently accepted, i.e. consideration of sources in the context of biographies of authors and the socio-political situation around Macedonia.
