Older adults exposed to enriched environments (EEs) maintain relatively higher levels of cognitive function, even in the face of compromised markers of brain health. Response speed (RS) is often used as a simple proxy to measure the preservation of global cognitive function in older adults. However, it is unknown which specific selection, decision, and/or motor processes provide the most specific indices of neurocognitive health. Here, using a simple decision task with electroencephalography (EEG), we found that the efficiency with which an individual accumulates sensory evidence was a critical determinant of the extent to which RS was preserved in older adults (63% female, 37% male). Moreover, the mitigating influence of EE on age-related RS declines was most pronounced when evidence accumulation rates were shallowest. These results suggest that the phenomenon of cognitive reserve, whereby high EE individuals can better tolerate suboptimal brain health to facilitate the preservation of cognitive function, is not just applicable to neuroanatomical indicators of brain aging but can be observed in markers of neurophysiology. Our results suggest that EEG metrics of evidence accumulation may index neurocognitive vulnerability of the aging brain.

Significance StatementResponse speed in older adults is closely linked with trajectories of cognitive aging. Here, by recording brain activity while individuals perform a simple computer task, we identify a neural metric that is a critical determinant of response speed. Older adults exposed to greater cognitive and social stimulation throughout a lifetime could maintain faster responding, even when this neural metric was impaired. This work suggests EEG is a useful technique for interrogating how a lifetime of stimulation benefits brain health in aging.
Higher Powers: Alcohol and After in Uganda’s Capital City
Authors: Scherz China , Mpanga George , Namirembe Sarah
Published: July 2023

Higher Powers draws on four years of collaborative fieldwork carried out with Ugandans working to reconstruct their lives after attempting to leave behind problematic alcohol use. Given the relatively recent introduction of biomedical ideas of alcoholism and addiction in Uganda, most of these people have used other therapeutic resources, including herbal aversion therapies, engagements with balubaale spirits, and forms of deliverance and spiritual warfare practiced in Pentecostal churches. While these methods are at times severe, they contain within them understandings of the self and practices of sociality that point away from models of addiction as a chronic relapsing brain disease and towards the possibility of release. Higher Powers offers a reconceptualization of addiction and recovery that may prove relevant well beyond Uganda.
Droplet Tn‐Seq identifies the primary secretion mechanism for yersiniabactin in Yersinia pestis

Nutritional immunity includes sequestration of transition metals from invading pathogens. Yersinia pestis overcomes nutritional immunity by secreting yersiniabactin to acquire iron and zinc during infection. While the mechanisms for yersiniabactin synthesis and import are well‐defined, those responsible for yersiniabactin secretion are unknown. Identification of this mechanism has been difficult because conventional mutagenesis approaches are unable to inhibit trans‐complementation by secreted factors between mutants. To overcome this obstacle, we utilized a technique called droplet Tn‐seq (dTn‐seq), which uses microfluidics to isolate individual transposon mutants in oil droplets, eliminating trans‐complementation between bacteria. Using this approach, we first demonstrated the applicability of dTn‐seq to identify genes with secreted functions. We then applied dTn‐seq to identify an AcrAB efflux system as required for growth in metal‐limited conditions. Finally, we showed this efflux system is the primary yersiniabactin secretion mechanism and required for virulence during bubonic and pneumonic plague. Together, these studies have revealed the yersiniabactin secretion mechanism that has eluded researchers for over 30 years and identified a potential therapeutic target for bacteria that use yersiniabactin for metal acquisition.

Authors: Yahya Mad
Published: July 2023

This article aims to examine the variations in Javanese speech by Javanese dialect speakers in Garung District, Wonosobo Regency, Central Java. The author uses phonological and phonemic process studies to identify the speech data of Javanese speakers. In the data collection process, the author uses the techniques of listening, recording, and tapping. The qualitative descriptive method is applied to describe the results of the study. In identifying variations of Javanese vowels and consonants speech in the Wonosobo Regency, the author uses a contrastive method with the standard Javanese Solo-Yogyakarta dialect. The study results show that there are several variations of Javanese speech by Javanese speakers in Garung District, Wonosobo. These variation utterances include changes in the vowel sound [ͻ] to [a], the vowel sound [e] to [a], the vowel sound [a] and [ɛ] to [e], the vowel sound [u] and [ᴐ] to [ o], and the consonant [y] changes to a fricative consonant [z]. Furthermore, based on the identification of phonemic processes, there are additions of sounds called paragoge and prosthesis, phonemes reduction of apheresis, and substitution of vowel sounds in words that have affixation. The study results can be used as material for further studies related to linguistic studies of Javanese dialects in Wonosobo, especially concerning lexicon and syntax aspects as well as socio dialectological maps of Javanese dialects in Wonosobo.

Effect of size press coating of cationic starch/ nanofibrillated cellulose on physical and mechanical properties of recycled papersheets
Authors: Tozluoğlu Ayhan , Fidan Hakan
Published: July 2023

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of size press coating on two types of recycled papers using different types of nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) and cationic starch (CS) on physical and mechanical properties. Wheat straw was used as a cellulose source, and NFC was obtained through oxidative and enzymatic pretreatments. Recycled fluting and coreboard papers were coated with cationic starch/NFC blends at various concentrations of NFC (0.5%, 1%, 2%, 3%, and 4%) using a three-time repetitive size press application, followed by one-time drying section, and compared to uncoated papers. The application of a coating suspension containing 4% periodate-oxidized NFC on both paper surfaces resulted in a significant improvement in the tensile index, burst index, and internal bond strength of the papersheets, with increases of up to 60.6%, 96.3%, and 119.9%, respectively. Furthermore, significant decreases in air permeability were also observed with reductions of 75% and 81.6% for coreboard and fluting papers, respectively. Compared to other pretreatment methods, periodate oxidation resulted in higher viscosity values in NFC samples. Therefore, the application of periodate-oxidized NFC with a size press resulted in a significant improvement in the mechanical and barrier properties of papers made from recycled pulps.

Records management is something that is very important and cannot be separated in the management of an organization or agency. For a school, archives are very important as proof of the results of the school's accreditation assessment of the eight components of the national education standard. Therefore, every school must be able to have good archive management to support accreditation activities. This study aims to explain the management of active mail archives at Sekolah Menengah Atas Negeri (SMAN) 78 West Jakarta which already has A Accreditation. there are some things that are still not available. There are several things that are not yet available in the management of active mail archives at SMAN 78, namely: (1) the means of storing letters that are owned are still incomplete; (2) do not have books or proof of borrowing in the use of active mail dynamic archives; (3) does not yet have an Archive Retention Schedule (JRA) and a complete destruction report. These three things happen because the management of active mail archives is still done manually and the limited ability and knowledge of Human Resources (HR) in the archives field, as well as efforts to overcome obstacles have not been carried out optimally. Based on this, the researchers recommend to SMAN 78 that: (1) the management of active mail archives is carried out electronically; (2) Adding types and units of letter storage facilities and infrastructure; (3) Adding human resources devoted to managing letters or improving the capabilities of existing human resources through training in the field of archives, especially regarding archive disposition.

Published: July 2023

Increasing the information needs of students can be used as material for evaluating innovations for libraries in increasing the availability of information and developing the literacy skills of Islamic boarding school students. Islamic boarding schools are a gathering place for students to gain knowledge and general knowledge and religion. The purpose of this study is to explain the innovation of the Library in improving the literacy of students and the obstacles faced in efforts to increase literacy. This research uses the qualitative descriptive method. The informant determination technique that has been used is purposive sampling, which is a technique for collecting research data based on certain considerations. The informants interviewed were 3 students of Pondok Pesantren Darunnajah who took advantage of the library facilities.  The results showed that the library made several innovations in meeting the information needs of students. First, the Library provides OPAC as a means of retrieving the collection information provided. Second, develop digital collections as a source of learning. In addition, pesantren set a policy to ask students to provide new books that will be served in the library, as well as cooperate with other institutions through various information training to meet the information needs of students. In addition, there is a role for literacy ambassadors who bridge the gap between the information in the library and the students.  The obstacles faced are the limitation of students in obtaining access to cyber information due to the existence of a pesantren culture that prohibits students from having communication media devices in the form of cellphones and laptops personally outside the Islamic boarding school. This has caused students to have difficulties in accessing information and digital documents as those that can be part of supporting knowledge outside the Pondok

The University of Muhammadiyah Jakarta Library is one of the private university libraries which has approximately 20 librarians spread across all faculties. Each faculty consists of up to 1 to 2 librarians. The University of Muhammadiyah Jakarta campus consists of 2 campuses, namely the Cirendeu Campus and the Cempaka Putih Campus. The Central Library is located on the Cirendeu Campus. This study aims to analyze the leadership style applied by the head of the library at the Muhammadiyah University in Jakarta or abbreviated as UMJ. The method used in this study is a qualitative method with data collection techniques, interviews, and observations. The observation was done to analyze matters related to research, namely the leadership style applied by the head of the library. Data analysis includes data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions or verification. This study shows that the application of leadership style in the UMJ library adopts a situational leadership style system by measuring it through four aspects, namely informant style, sales style, participatory style, and delegation style. The ideal leadership element is already owned by the head librarian of the University of Muhammadiyah Jakarta, it can be seen from the positive stigma that his subordinates put out, thus making the library a library development that can happen quickly. Furthermore, judging from the application of the leadership style of the head of the Muhammadiyah Jakarta university library, it is very suitable to be applied in the Muhammadiyah Jakarta University library because it can adapt to the work environment that occurs in that place.

The design of the Tanah Laut Regency Library and Archives Service building looks attractive in terms of its artistic and modern design. However, addressing interior design problems is still necessary because they cause inconvenience to visiting users. Therefore, it is necessary to view the interior design of the Tanah Laut Regency Library and Archives Service from the perceptions or responses of users. The type of research used is descriptive research with quantitative methods. The research population is 432 users. Determination of the sample in this study using the Slovin formula with an error rate of 10% obtained sample of 82 respondents. The study's results by distributing questionnaires showed that users' responses to interior design at the Tanah Laut District Library and Archives Service could be identified based on indicators of interior design elements. The user's response to spatial planning, color, and air circulation has an average score of 3.73, 3.97, and 3.44, which are in the agreed category. The user's response to lighting and spatial planning elements averaged 2.96, and 2.91 was in the quite agree category. Even though the overall average score of 3.49 is in the agreed category for lighting and spatial planning, it needs to be improved again because it is still in the entirely agreed category, which shows that there is still some inconvenience for users to be in the library.

The Portrayal of Megan’s Movement from Female Masculinity to Feminine in the Barely Lethal
Authors: Amin Alfan , Handayani Tuty
Published: July 2023

This research describes how female masculinity portrayed Megan as the main character in the Barely Lethal movie, and then shows how Megan can change her personality from female masculine to feminine. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach by applying Judith Halberstam's theory of female masculinity as the main topic of this research. The research found that the appearance, gestures, dialogue, and culture in the data analyzed related to the concept of female masculinity. The results show that Megan is revealed to follow the concept of female masculinity, which consists of butch realness, femme pretender, male mimicry, fag drag, and naturalized masculinity. Megan is not only the protagonist, the character that dominates masculinity, but she is also the strong female, the fighter, the offensive, and also has strength that shows Megan's masculinity. Interestingly, the research also found that, as time goes by, Megan tries to change her traits from masculine to feminine, which can be seen when she likes the opposite sex, makes friends with the same sex and age friends in school, and reads mean girl book, which is typical reading for teenage girls in her environment. These portrayals conclude that someone's trait can be gradually interchangeable when triggered by outside or within themselves.

Authors: Ranimpi Yulius Yusak , Hyde Merv , Oprescu Florin
Published: July 2023

This study aimed to investigate perceptions of mental health and poverty as well as their relationship in remote areas of Indonesia. The investigation was conducted due to the lack of mental health services in the area and a limited understanding of the psychological factors associated with perceptions of mental health and poverty in developing countries. A qualitative phenomenological approach was used, involving 22 participants (10 males, 12 females) with various educational and occupational backgrounds. The results showed several categories, namely the concept and causes of poverty, perceptions of physical and mental health, as well as the relationship between poverty and mental health. Among these results, the most important was the public's perception of poverty and mental health as socio-cultural phenomena interrelated due to socio-cultural or mental imbalances. Furthermore, indigenous psychology was used to investigate the behavior of people living in their local communities. This was conducted to determine the use of knowledge to interact with policies and practices to reduce poverty and improve mental health status.

Origins of the Pentecostal Movement in Iran
Authors: Rzepka Marcin
Published: July 2023

This article aims at providing an analysis of the roots and the early development of the Pentecostal movement among the Assyrians in Iran. It is focused on the autobiographical narratives delivered by Andrew Urshan, Benjamin Alexander and Thomas Nasseri. Although produced in different times and for different purposes, their narratives refer to the beginnings of Pentecostalism on the Iranian soil. The description of the spread of the Pentecostal ideas provided in the narratives has been contextualized in reference to the social and political changes occurring in Iran at the beginning of the twentieth century, before and during the First World War. Special attention has been paid to the migratory experiences of the early Assyrian Pentecostals as well as to the transformation of the Church of the East tradition. The article discusses the problem of cultural adaptation of Pentecostalism among Assyrians and emphasizes the fact that the movement was perceived as a factor for unifying the whole Assyrian community. This is mainly due to the fact that the movement was initiated and narrated by native Assyrian Christians rather than American missionaries. This makes Iranian Pentecostalism a rather special case in the Pentecostal history of the non-Western world.
Discerning the Affections
Authors: Onelum John
Published: July 2023

This article argues that discussions on the biblical interpretation issues that underpin the problematic expressions of the prosperity gospel within Pentecostalism have been helpful. However, given the affect-economic nexus in passages like 1 Tim 6.10, the article also contends that there need to be discussions addressing the affect-related matters of desire, denial, and the mirroring of consumer culture that often characterize these problematic expressions. Therefore, the article will discuss how a combined reading of the affect-related concepts in René Girard’s mimetic theory and Steven Jack Land’s assessment of Pentecostal spirituality can be used as a heuristic device to examine Pentecostal engagement with the prosperity gospel phenomenon. Finally, the article will claim that this combined reading can be instrumental to Pentecostal discernment regarding the contours of a sound Pentecostal engagement with the prosperity gospel.

Prevalence and incidence of keratoconus in Sweden. A nationwide register study between 2010 and 2020.
Authors: Binder Jonathan , Sundling Vibeke
Published: July 2023

The purpose of this study was to estimate the prevalence and incidence of keratoconus in Sweden. The study had a cross-sectional descriptive design, using data from the Swedish Patient Register. Data about keratoconus registered from 1st January, 2010, to 31st December, 2020, were analysed. Prevalence was estimated from the total number of patients registered. Incidence was estimated from the number of first-time registrations per year for the age group 0 to 40 years and stratified by decades of age.
From 2010 to 2020, 16,055 patients were registered with keratoconus in the Swedish Patient Register, giving a total estimated keratoconus prevalence of 169.5 per 100,000 (95% CI: 144.9–194.1), 74.2% were male. The estimated annual incidence of keratoconus was 11.8 per 100,000 (95% CI: 5.1–18.5). The average annual incidence was highest in the decade 21 to 30 years, 26.1 per 100,000 (95% CI: 16.1–36.1). For the age group 0 to 40 years, the estimated incidence of keratoconus was 22.5 per 100,000 (95% CI: 13.7–32.3).
Keratoconus should not be regarded as an uncommon condition. The prevalence of keratoconus may be even higher because of under-registration among older citizens. The estimated prevalence and incidence of keratoconus in Sweden is comparable to estimated prevalence in Norway.
Red de investigadores y políticas públicas sobre cambio climático en Rio Grande del Sur, Brasil
Authors: Hoff Ambos Stefania , Binkowski Patricia
Published: July 2023

El cambio climático es un tema emergente, debido a los efectos impactantes observados a diferentes niveles: local, regional y global. Con el fin de revelar matices sobre el cambio climático, este artículo tiene como objetivo identificar los principales grupos que investigan el tema en universidades federales en el estado de Rio Grande do Sul (RS), Brasil, sus principales investigaciones, agenda de debates y políticas públicas. La investigación presenta un enfoque cualitativo, de tipo exploratorio, descriptivo e interpretativo. Se entrevistaron tres investigadores líderes y/o participantes de grupos de investigación vinculados al Diretório de Grupos de Pesquisa (DGP) del Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq) vinculado al Ministério de Educação (MEC) del gobierno federal de Brasil. Se verificó la existencia de una red de investigación en torno a la lucha contra el cambio climático en RS, aún de carácter informal, donde diferentes investigadoras/es desarrollan alianzas entre universidades del estado de RS, Brasil y del exterior. Esta red de investigación tiene una característica muy peculiar: se forma por investigadoras/es y desde la mirada interdisciplinaria, pues involucra varios sectores y áreas de conocimiento.  Las/os investigadoras/es trajeron aspectos relevantes de sus investigaciones, con implicaciones directas e indirectas para la sociedad brasileña e internacional. Los principales resultados apuntan que existen pocas acciones de gobierno ubicadas hacia el combate al cambio climático y la baja articulación del poder público en relación al tema se vuelve preocupante. Investigar el tema climático es bastante complejo, ya que las condiciones humanas y ambientales están en constante transición. La formación y visibilidad de esta red de investigadoras/es abre un abanico de posibilidades para que la sociedad civil obtenga información a fin de enfrentar el cambio climático, formular y exigir más políticas públicas.

Published: July 2023

La desterritorialización por el conflicto armado en Colombia ha sido un proceso complejo que deja consecuencias de tipo físico, psicológico, emocional y social. En particular, este estudio se enfocó en la comprensión de su efecto en la transformación de las dinámicas de las familias víctimas. Para ello, se siguió un paradigma sociocrítico, un enfoque cualitativo y un método descriptivo. Durante la recolección de las voces y vivencias de los participantes se emplearon entrevistas semiestructuradas a profundidad y conversaciones solidarias, las cuáles, antes de ser aplicadas fueron revisadas y evaluadas por pares expertos. Se entrevistaron 10 familias víctimas directas del conflicto armado colombiano quienes fueron incluidas teniendo en cuenta que era un estudio no probabilístico, con un muestreo por conveniencia. Para el análisis de los datos se utilizó el análisis crítico del discurso y el análisis conversacional. Principalmente se identificaron dentro de las nuevas dinámicas, la necesidad de preservar la unión familiar luego de la desterritorialización, un fortalecimiento de la presencia e importancia de la madre como líder y cabeza del hogar, la construcción de objetivos y metas familiares que puedan garantizar en el futuro estabilidad y, entre otras cosas, nuevas comprensiones y sentidos familiares sobre el valor del territorio.
Estructura de las revoluciones científicas en el siglo XXI: una perspectiva desde el quehacer investigativo

Published: July 2023

En el presente artículo se intentará reconocer la estructura de los “nuevos paradigmas” que surgieron a partir de dos hechos históricos, la publicación del texto “Estructura de las revoluciones científicas” y la protesta de “mayo del 68”. Para el desarrollo del artículo se utilizaron la perspectiva rizomática y los principios de la complejidad de Morin. Los paradigmas actuales estudiados son: el pensamiento rizomático de Deleuze y Guattari, el pensamiento complejo de Morin y la teoría crítica originada en Habermas. El artículo se desarrolla en tres acápites: (a) Características de los paradigmas contemporáneos; (b) Función de los paradigmas contemporáneos como sistemas abiertos de pensamiento; (c) Aplicación y filosofía de los paradigmas contemporáneos. Las conclusiones apuntan a que la relación del texto “La estructura de las revoluciones científicas” y el movimiento “mayo del 68” se entrelazan sin buscarlo para generar la necesidad de unas nuevas formas de pensar, de ser y actuar que, poco a poco, mostraran que ya no bastan paradigmas únicos con pretensión de producir una verdad “científica”.
YERS–ULAM–RASSIAS STABILITY OF NONLINEAR DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS WITH A GENERALIZED ACTIONS ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE
Authors: Sesekin Alexander N. , Kandrina Anna D.
Published: July 2023

The paper considers the Hyers–Ulam–Rassias stability for systems of nonlinear differential equations with a generalized action on the right-hand side, for example, containing impulses — delta functions. The fact that the derivatives in the equation are considered distributions required a correction of the well known Hyers–Ulam–Rassias definition of stability for such equations. Sufficient conditions are obtained that ensure the property under study.

The enhanced uptake of glucose by cancer cells via aerobic glycolysis occurs when the lactic acid pathway is favored over the citric acid cycle. The lactic acid cycle in cancer cells influences the cytosolic concentration of metabolic fluorophores including NADH (the reduced form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD). In particular, the literature has shown that breast cancer influences the relative magnitude of fluorescence from NADH and FAD. A multispectral imaging system has been developed for rapid non-destructive imaging of intrinsic fluorescence in tissue. This paper compares in vivo data to fresh ex vivo data gathered as a function of time in mouse models. The data indicate that, if measured within 30 min of excision, a cancer diagnosis in fresh ex vivo tissue correlates with a cancer diagnosis in in vivo tissue. These results justify a plan to evaluate fresh ex vivo human tissue to quantify the sensitivity and specificity of the multispectral system.

Published: July 2023

Mechanical plaque control is the first line of management of peri-implant diseases. Povidone iodine is one of the broad spectrum and potent antiseptics available at various concentrations. The aim of the study was to assess and compare the efficacy of various concentrations of povidone iodine in the management of peri-implant mucositis. In the present double blinded, parallel designed, randomized clinical trial, a total of 60 patients with peri-implant mucositis (20 participants in each group [Group 1 (povidone iodine 0.1%), Group 2 (povidone iodine 2%) and Group 3 (povidone iodine 010%)] were enrolled. Scaling and root planing was done and then the peri-implant sulcus was irrigated with respective irrigant and repeated once in a week for 4 weeks. Loe and Silness Gingival Index (GI) and Mombelli Modified sulcular bleeding index (BI) were recorded at baseline and after a month and compared. Statistical analysis was done using One-way ANOVA and Tukey's HSD post hoc test. A statistically significant difference (P = 0.000) observed between the three concentrations when compared after 1 month. Also, a statistically significant difference between Group 1 and Group 3 and Group 2 and Group 3 was observed in terms of post GI (P = 0.000) and post BI (P = 0.000) but statistically no significant difference was observed between Group 1 and Group 2 in terms of post GI (P = 0.171) and post BI (P = 0.338). The 2% and 10% povidone iodine showed significant improvement in gingival index and bleeding index and hence it could be an effective adjunct to scaling and root planing in the management of peri-implant mucositis.
Comparison of Alveolar Bone Level around Osseointegrated Dental Implants among Premenopausal and Postmenopausal Women: A 2-Year Study
Authors: Dhayanithi J. , Rajasekar Arvina
Published: July 2023

The success of dental implants is affected by bone quality and quantity at the dental implant site. The present study was done to assess the changes in alveolar bone level around osseointegrated dental implants over a period of 2 years among the premenopausal and postmenopausal women. This prospective clinical study was conducted among 50 female patients who reported between January 2020-June 2020 and had a single missing molar in maxillary or mandibular arch. Patients were categorized into 2 groups: premenopause patients (Group A; n = 25) and postmenopause patients (Group B; n = 25). Marginal bone loss (MBL) was recorded at baseline, 12 mo and 24 mo follow-up and compared between both the groups using independent t-test. ANOVA was done to compare MBL between different time periods. On intragroup comparison, a statistically significant difference was observed between different time periods in both Group A (P = 0.05) and Group B (P = 0.04). Also, on intergroup comparison, a statistically significant difference was observed in Group B from Group A at 12 mo and 24 mo (P < 0.05). Increase in marginal bone loss was observed among postmenopausal women. Therefore, clinicians should emphasize the need for oral hygiene maintenance among postmenopausal women for peri-implant health.

Este nuevo libro de la Cátedra Mattelart de CIESPAL es el resultado de un trabajo sistemático de cooperación científica-académica latinoamericana, ubicado en el contexto de un campo de investigación y de producción teórica critica, que problematiza procesos socioculturales, mediáticos y comunicacionales en la perspectiva de transformaciones educativas, políticas, económicas, sociales y culturales, para la constitución de formaciones sociales, modos de vida y procesos de producción de conocimiento, de carácter ecológico, democrático, emancipador, crítico, inventivo y responsable con los pueblos de Nuestra América. Para la vertiente Mattelart la perspectiva epistemológica histórica es articuladora de un conjunto de argumentaciones, producciones, obras, proyectos y programas que han inspirado, orientado y fortalecido el campo de conocimiento crítico en comunicación en América Latina y en el mundo. En ese sentido han realizado, promovido y orientado investigaciones que han construido saberes importantes sobre los procesos comunicacionales mediáticos, que van desde los géneros populares, como la telenovela, las revistas de comics, la fotonovela, el periodismo comercial (en términos de su penetración trans/clasista), hasta los sistemas telemáticos, informáticos, multimediáticos, colocándolos en los procesos reales, históricos, económico-políticos y culturales; constituyendo una producción científica paradigmática para las ciencias de la comunicación en el planeta.

Multiple modalities have been tried for post-craniotomy pain relief, but controversy exists as to the optimal approach. Pre-induction scalp block is a promising technique in high-risk neurosurgical procedures, which reduces the haemodynamic response to skull pin insertion and craniotomy incision, and affords post-operative analgesia. von hippel-lindau (VHL) disease is a rare autosomal dominant disorder with multi-system involvement and various visceral manifestations, the most common of these-being cerebellar hemangioblastoma. Other anomalies include pancreatic-renal cysts, erythrocytosis, hypernephroma, pheochromocytoma and retinal capillary hemangioblastoma. Central nervous system (CNS) hemangioblastomas are often an early manifestation of the disease, and are typically seen in the second decade of life. The majority of hemangioblastomas occur in the cerebellum followed by the spinal cord and brain stem. They are benign vascular tumours but can cause neurological symptoms secondary to pressure or haemorrhage. We hereby present a case of previously diagnosed VHL with recurrent cerebellar hemangioblastoma scheduled for neurosurgical tumour excision and the beneficial use of a pre-induction scalp block to compliment anaesthesia for the patient.

Amaç

Tümör oluşumunda ve ayırıcı tanısında tümör anjiogenezi

önemli bir unsur ve değerli bir göstergedir.

Menengiomlar vasküleritesi yüksek tümörler olması

nedeni ile bu çalışmada, farklı tedavi protokollerinin

geliştirilebilmesi açısından menengiomlarda immunohistokimyasal

yöntemlerle prostat-spesifik membran

antijen (PSMA) salınımının değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.

Gereç ve Yöntem

Kliniğimizde opere edilerek Derece I (n=32), Derece II

(n=6) ve Derece III (n=10) menengiom tanısı almış 48

hastadan alınmış olan doku örneklerinde PSMA antikorları

immunohistokimyasal metod ile incelendi. Tümör

dokusundaki PSMA boyanma yoğunluğu ve yüzdesi

incelendi. Tümör epitelinde tümör ve tümör-dışı

dokuda PSMA salınımına göre vasküler salınım ve

yoğunluk skoru analiz edildi.

Bulgular

Farklı derecelerdeki menengiom preparatlarında yapılan

immunohistokimyasal analizler tümör epitelinde

ve stromasında PSMA salınım ve yoğunluk skorları

arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık olmadığını

gösterdi (p>0.05).

Sonuç

Agresif seyreden, rezeke edilemeyen menegiomlarda

anjiogeneziste rol alan bazı moleküler biomarkerlar

önem kazanmaktadır. Her ne kadar PSMA açısından

anlamlı sonuçlar elde edilmemiş olsa da moleküler ve

genetik teknikler geliştikçe tümör biyolojisinin ortaya

konup potansiyel hedeflerin belirlenmesi yeni tedavi

yolları açacaktır.
