The Effects of General Anesthetics on the Developing Brain of Fetus
Authors: A Sucharitha
Published: May 2024

General Anesthesia is a practice of medically inducing temporary loss of consciousness accompanied by complete or partial loss of pain reflexes. Anesthesia for obstetrics and pediatric surgery is unpreventable for pregnant women and newborn infants with life-threatening disorders requiring a prolonged stay in the intensive care unit (ICU). Despite this, fetal brain development begins in the third week of gestation of intrauterine life. Volatile anesthetics such as sevoflurane, desflurane, isoflurane nitroprusside, etc are used during pregnancy to prevent preterm contractions and inhibit uterine contractility. These volatile anesthetic agents are highly lipid soluble and are of low molecular weight which readily favors for transplacental passage of the volatile anesthetics by simple diffusion and shows numerous effects on the neuronal transmission system. The basic principles of embryo-fetotoxicity were evaluated in the aspects of embryo-fetal effects of drugs such as anesthetics analyzed, and the most commonly used anesthetics were presented with teratogenic risks. Various studies suggested that prolonged exposure to general anesthetics might result in extensive neuroapoptosis (neuronal death), anesthetic neurotoxicity, neuroinflammation, synaptic loss, activation of caspase, and other neurodegenerative changes in the developing human brain. This review briefly summarizes the growth and development of the brain in fetuses and neonates, the data regarding neurotoxicity, and a few key components accountable for neuroapoptosis and causes long-lasting cognitive impairment in fetuses induced due to general anesthetics that is the progress in neurodevelopment in the offspring on anesthetic exposure will be reviewed.

Authors: Caballero Daylon Fundora , AE Lima , AE Romo
Published: May 2024

Mormopterus minutus is a bat endemic to Cuba and its preferred habitat is the palm Copernicia vespertiliorum. Due to its specialization and the loss of its habitats due to anthropogenic action, the species is classified as Vulnerable. The aim of this work is to characterize the population of C. vespertilionum as possible refuges of M. minutus in the Loma de Santa Maria Wildlife Refuge protected area. Between March and August 2019, 4 random grids were marked in the Coastal Savannah for sampling the palm population. Night time counts of the bats were carried out using camera traps and basic morphometry was performed on individuals captured with mist nets. There were 27 specimens of C. vespertilionum with five active colonies that had an average height of 9.81m, while the refuge areas showed an average height of 2.75m. Colonies can present between 2000 and 5500 individuals per refuge. The alar expansion showed an average of 21.8cm, the length of the forearm an average of 9.65cm and the weight of the species averaged 6.5 g. It was determined that forest fires, as a result of anthropogenic actions, were the main cause of the decrease in the population of M. minutus in the protected area. Finally, measures and actions were established for the conservation and protection of the palm trees and with it, of the bat.

Musculoskeletal problems are one of the complaints that are often felt by workers, especially people with jobs that require high physical activity (porters). From the results of observations made on the porters at Tirtonadi Terminal, it was found that most of them complained of muscle pain in the area around the shoulders and neck, of course this affects the comfort and productivity of working in the field so that the work carried out is not optimal. The aim of education is to reduce and overcome the pain felt by porters at Tirtonadi Terminal which can be done independently before and after carrying out work. Before providing education, the porters filled out the SPADI questionnaire first to measure the level of pain and difficulties experienced before and after providing education. The method used to provide education was in the form of direct explanations to 20 porters one by one in turn, with delivery media in the form of pamphlets and training simulations. The contents of the pamphlet include doing work exercises before starting work and giving warm water compresses after work. From the results of the education that has been carried out, the results show that many of them apply education regularly, but there are also quite a few porters who do not carry out education regularly. Porters need to be aware of the importance of warming up (work exercises) before doing their work to minimize pain and using warm compresses after work to relieve pain. The physiotherapy educational efforts that have been provided can be accepted and understood easily by the porters so it can be concluded that physiotherapy measures have been proven to reduce and overcome musculoskeletal complaints in Tirtonadi Terminal porters.

Jordanian Legal Systems Regarding Refund and Replacement in Online Trade Contracts: A Comparative Analytical Study
Authors: Alsharu Ahmad Ibrahim
Published: May 2024

The birth of the internet has resulted in a rapid increase in online shopping activities. Despite the convenience of online shopping for sellers and buyers, various problems have emerged, harming consumers. Strong consumer protection is vital because goods traded online can not directly or physically be viewed or touched. The present study explored the legal provisions concerning refund or goods replacement within the online trade contract. Jordan currently lacks a law specifically for online trade, while e-commerce in Jordan is mainly governed by three laws, namely, the Jordan Civil Law 1976, Consumer Protection Law 2017, and Electronic Transactions Law 2015. E-commerce laws in the United Kingdom, France, Indonesia, and Malaysia were analyzed and compared with relevant Jordanian laws to examine the topics of refund and goods replacement in online trade contracts. Jordanian legal systems have been insufficient in guaranteeing consumers’ right to obtain refunds, goods, or services replacement from the provider or seller in online trade. Jordan thus needs to set up a special law on online trade that also legally covers matters of refunds and goods replacement.

Diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) represents a relevant issue of reproductive medicine that is often associated with infertility and reduced efficacy of IVF programs. The changes in amino acid metabolism can play a role in the DOR pathogenesis as manifestations of the folliculogenesis and oogenesis epigenetic alterations. The study was aimed to assess alterations of amino acid metabolic pathways in blood plasma and follicular fluid and estimate their clinical significance in DOR. A total of 115 infertile women aged 25–42 years were included in the study. Groups were formed based on the ovarian reserve and age. Amino acid levels in blood plasma and follicular fluid were assessed by high performance liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS); bioinformatics analysis of amino acid metabolic pathways was performed. We revealed significant changes in the phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan biosynthesis (effect = 0.5; p = 0.026), alanine, aspartate and glutamate metabolism (effect = 0.114; p = 0.013), and arginine biosynthesis (effect = 0.289; p < 0.001) pathways playing a role in folliculogenesis, oogenesis, and embryogenesis. The detected differences in the amino acid levels in various body fluids made it possible to construct the logistic regression models confirming DOR with the 88% probability based on the amino acid levels in follicular fluid (sensitivity 88%, specificity 84%) and 82% probability based on plasma levels (sensitivity 65%, specificity 91%). The findings can be used for further research focused on the pathogenesis of infertility associated with DOR and for selection of the most optimal diagnostic and treatment tactics.

Influence of Cold Work on the Efficiency of Vibratory Machining
Authors: Bańkowski D. , Spadło S.
Published: May 2024

The aim of the article was to determine the impact of crushed condition (work hardening) on the effectiveness of the vibratory machining. The vibratory machining processing was carried out in two steps. The first step consisted of mechanical abrasion and remove oxides from the surface of the workpieces with abrasive media. While in the second step, smoothing - polishing with metal media was performed. Vibratory polishing also strengthened the treated surfaces. The test results were compared for samples in the crushed state (work hardening, plastic processing) and samples subjected to recrystallization annealing heat treatment. Mass losses, changes in the geometric structure of the surface and changes in the hardness of the machining surfaces were analyzed. Samples subjected to recrystallization, as compared to the samples in the state after work hardening-plastic working, are characterized by a slightly higher arithmetic mean surface roughness and lower surface hardness than for analogous processes for samples not subjected to heat treatment. Heat treatment of annealing allows to remove the effects of crushing and thus it is possible to obtain larger mass losses. Smaller burrs dimensions were obtained for samples after the heat treatment – annealing than after work hardening.

Background: Obesity is one of the current public health problems and one of the risk factors associated with colorectal cancer patients. Few current studies support the feasibility of laparoscopic surgery in rectal cancer in the obese patients.

Methods: The study aims to highlight the impact of obesity on patients with rectal cancer approached laparoscopically and the feasibility of laparoscopic surgery in patients with BMI>30kg/m2. The current study is a retrospective study conducted between 01.01.2017-31.12.2021, at the General Surgery Clinic 1 of the County Emergency Hospital Constanta. We analysed the group of 51 patients, in two subgroups of obese (n=17,33.3%) and non-obese (n=34, 66.7%) patients. We performed an analysis of the two groups according to the essential aspects of preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative evolution (obese versus non-obese).

Results: In terms of body mass index, the mean body mass index was 34.64 kg/m2. The obese group had a longer operative time and higher intraoperative blood loss. No significant differences were found in terms of systemic postoperative complications. Obese patients required more time for active mobilisation and resumption of bowel movement, more antibiotic and analgesic therapy and longer hospitalisation.

Conclusions: Obesity may influence the evolution of patients with rectal neoplasia in terms of prolonged operative time and longer hospitalisation. Laparoscopic surgery is a safe option for the surgical treatment of patients with rectal cancer due to the low rate of local postoperative complications.
