Correlating Capillary Pressure and Resistivity Index for Carbonate Reservoir
Authors: Hamd-Allah Sameera , Al-Jawad Mohammed , Rashid Ali , Al-Obaidi Dahlia
Published: July 2024

Capillary pressure is a significant parameter in characterizing and modeling petroleum reservoirs. However, costly laboratory measurements may not be sufficiently available in some cases. The problem amplifies for carbonate reservoirs because relatively enormous capillary pressure curves are required for reservoir study due to heterogeneity. In this work, the laboratory measurements of capillary pressure and formation resistivity index were correlated as both parameters are functions of saturation. Forty-one core samples from an Iraqi carbonate reservoir were used to develop the correlation according to the hydraulic flow units concept. Flow zone indicator (FZI) and Pore Geometry and Structure (PGS) approaches were used to identify the reservoir hydraulic flow units. The experimentally derived correlations can be used to predict capillary pressure from resistivity, which is widely available from well-logs. FZI and PGS rock typing methods were applied to characterize the reservoir rock types. For both methods, the log-log plot of Leverett J-function and capillary pressure versus resistivity index for each rock type represent a power-law model relationship between these parameters. Despite the good permeability-porosity prediction results, the FZI approach did not yield a good correlation between J and I. PGS resulted in a better performance in terms of both permeability-porosity prediction and Pc with I correlation because PGS honors the pore geometry and structure relationship with the mean hydraulic radius more than FZI. This work introduces a new correlating approach that aims to assist in reservoir characterization and simulation.

Authors: Auied Hawraa , Dhahir Saadiyah , Sultan Maitham
Published: July 2024

In petroleum refineries, cooling towers, steam engines, and vacuum distillation all require a large volume of water. Before being dumped into the water bodies, it is then transported to an industrial water treatment facility. One of the study's objectives is to verify how well different processing units in the industrial wastewater treatment plant at the cycle refinery remove concentrations of chemical and biological oxygen demand (COD) and BOD. Five samples of industrial wastewater were collected before and after each treatment unit and one sample of wastewater was drained as a final product to the Tigris River. Over the summer, the BOD5 values after each processing unit were 180.8, 175.2, 111, 43, and 37 ppm. Winter readings were 106.8, 99.6, 81.2, 33.8, and 31 ppm, with summer and winter complete elimination rates of 79% and 71%, respectively. The reason for higher BOD5 concentrations in summer than in winter is due to higher temperatures that lead to evaporation and increased concentrations of BOD5 and COD pollutants. While COD concentrations were during the summer after each processing unit 399.6, 383.2, 187.2, 72.8, and 55.4 ppm, in winter they were 324.4, 310.2, 115, 46, and 42.6 ppm with a total removal rate of 86% in summer and 87% in winter. It was found that the refinery's water-drained treatment method, which includes a high proportion of BOD5 and COD concentrations in the main treatment plant, is effective. The water that flowed from the treatment plant into the river was within the national standard of the river water.

Authors: Çakmak Mehmet Akif , İlhan Tahsin
Published: July 2024

The aim of this study is to examine compassion fatigue and its sub-dimensions in healthcare professionals on the basis of personal and professional information. The study designed as survey research involved 697 health professionals from a range of professions, mainly nurses, doctors, and midwives. The Compassion Fatigue-Short Scale and Personal Information Form prepared by the researchers were used as data collection instruments. The research data were collected through a digitally created questionnaire form. IBM SPSS 25.0 was used for data analysis. Independent groups t-test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and Kruskal-Wallis H-test were used to answer the problems put forward in the research questions. It was found that compassion fatigue and its subscale scores differed significantly according to gender, education level, occupation, working time (night shift - day shift), intention to leave the job, perceived workload, and job stress. On the other hand, marital status and length of service did not lead to a significant difference in compassion fatigue and subscale scores. The results were discussed in light of the existing research, and recommendations were presented in the final section as part of the findings.

Authors: Özer Abdulkadir , Haspolat Namık Kemal
Published: July 2024

This study aimed to examine the effects of individual (age, gender, frustration of basic psychological needs) and environmental (adolescent-parental relationships, friendship relations, victimization) variables on peer bullying in adolescents. The study group consisted of 831 middle and high school students, 516 girls (62.1%), and 315 boys (37.9%). The research data were obtained using the Personal Information Form, Friendship Qualities Scale, Adolescent-Parental Relationships Scale, Peer Bullying Scale Adolescent Form, Basic Psychological Needs Satisfaction, and Frustration Scale. Hierarchical Regression Analysis was used to analyze the data. According to the results obtained from the study, gender, age, frustration of basic psychological needs, adolescent-parent relationships, and victimization variables were found to be significant predictors of adolescents' bullying levels. In the model, the friendship relationships variable is not a significant predictor. In the study, it was determined that victimization was the strongest predictor, and the model explained approximately 34% of the bullying level of adolescents. The results obtained from this study show that individual and family-participated interventions can be effective in preventing peer bullying in adolescents.

Rumah sakit dengan ditemukan kasus waktu tunggu yang lama diharapkan mampu membuat sistem atau aturan baru yang diharapkan mampu memperbaiki pelayanan yang sudah ada berkaitan dengan waktu tunggu pasien di poliklinik.
FRESHMΕN PRE-SERVICE EARLY YEARS TEACHER-STUDENTS’ REFLECTIONS ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF MUSICAL ACTIVITIES TO 4-YEAR-OLD CHILDREN
Authors: Nikolaou Eirini
Published: July 2024

This study explores the reflections of first-year university students (N=18) at a Department of Early Years Learning and Care in Greece on the implementation of music activities to 4-year-old children (N=16) of a nursery school in the Prefecture of Ioannina who visited the university classroom in the context of the course “Music Pedagogy”. The freshmen pre-service early years teacher-students prepared the musical activities with the trainer-researcher aiming to familiarization of the children with the concept of the musical ensemble/orchestra as well as with the means of musical expression (voice, rhythmic and melodic percussion instruments, body percussion). The pre-service early years teacher-students implemented the activities, taking on specific roles. To facilitate their reflections, they were given questions so as to record their thoughts and feelings during their engagement. The qualitative analysis of the teacher-students’ answers highlighted their positive view of being engaged with authentic teaching. In addition, they showed satisfaction with their teaching ability, felt that they confirmed their choice of future profession, revised some of their erroneous views regarding the perceptual abilities of young children, and identified the advantages of early years music education both from their current experience in the educational intervention and from the courses in the first year of their undergraduate studies concerning music education.

Avaliação da Qualidade e Densidade da Cortiça – Um Estudo Piloto com Tomografia Computorizada
Authors: Pinheiro João , Abrantes António , Brito Gilmar
Published: July 2024

A cortiça é uma matéria-prima natural, renovável e sustentável, utilizada há muitos séculos. Os produtos obtidos a partir da casca da cortiça representam um importante recurso económico para vários países. O controle de qualidade é realizado em diversas etapas, porém, a maioria desses controlos são verificações visuais realizadas por pessoas experientes. O controlo de qualidade das rolhas de cortiça é obrigatório para garantir a perfeita conservação do vinho. A cortiça possui propriedades específicas que conferem um grande potencial para novas aplicações, pelo que a utilização de novas tecnologias para avaliar a qualidade da cortiça é inevitável.O objetivo deste estudo é obter um método de controlo de qualidade da cortiça mais consistente, eficaz e fiável. Diversas amostras de qualidade pré-definida foram analisadas utilizando um equipamento de tomografia computadorizada (General Electric GE LightSpeed 16 Slice) para avaliação de densidade e qualidade utilizando protocolo específico adaptado para baixas densidades e elevado contraste.As curvas de densidade de distribuição assumem uma distribuição normal nas amostras com maior pureza. Descobrimos também que a distribuição de amplitude também é um critério chave para classificação. Quanto menor a amplitude, mais homogêneo é o material. Isto estabelece uma relação diretamente proporcional ao grau de pureza da cortiça. Ao contrário das amostras com coeficientes de atenuação linear com maior distribuição média e maiores amplitudes que revelam maior heterogeneidade do material. Através da utilização de tomografia computadorizada com protocolo otimizado, a qualidade da cortiça foi avaliada com resultados satisfatórios abrindo uma nova porta para novas técnicas de avaliação da qualidade. Este método tem-se revelado promissor e assertivo na escolha de amostras de cortiça, no entanto carece de mais estudos, para certificar a consistência do método e desenvolvê-lo.

Authors: Abreu Vanessa Alexandra Vicente de , Oliveira Vítor Jesus de , Ribeiro Maria Margarida
Published: July 2024

O cancro da próstata é o segundo tumor em incidência e mortalidade de entre as neoplasias malignas masculinas. Para uma adequada programação terapêutica é fundamental a caracterização e distinção entre os tumores confinados à próstata e os que assumem extensão prostática. A Ressonância Magnética é um exame de primeira linha no estudo da patologia prostática. Ainda não é amplamente disponível o acesso a este tipo de exames devido a diferentes condicionantes, nomeadamente: listas com elevados tempos de espera, condições financeiras precárias dos utentes, características dos equipamentos, protocolos demorados e dispendiosos, condicionando assim, o diagnóstico e naturalmente a terapêutica em tempo útil. Este estudo tem como objetivo principal analisar a partir da literatura, os protocolos de Ressonância Magnética da próstata abreviada aplicados ao carcinoma da próstata. O estudo é de carácter descritivo, secundário, de recuperação e análise crítica da literatura. A estratégia de pesquisa foi desenvolvida no sentido de encontrar os potenciais artigos relevantes num conjunto de fontes, como: as bases de dados bibliográficas de biomedicina; bases de registos de ensaios clínicos randomizados e quase randomizados; repositórios científicos e sites agregados de bases bibliográficas. Após aplicação dos critérios de inclusão, 17 estudos, orientados pela metodologia Prisma foram selecionados para esta revisão sistemática. O estudo foi registado na Prospero e a ferramenta QUADAS-2 foi utilizada para avaliar a qualidade dos estudos incluídos. Salienta-se a otimização dos protocolos de Ressonância Magnética Multiparamétrica da próstata pode resolver vários desafios práticos atuais, como o desconforto e condições físicas dos pacientes. No entanto, a padronização do protocolo de Ressonância Magnética Biparamétrica, aumentaria o número de exames realizados por sessão clínica podendo assim permitir o acesso a um maior número de utentes.
Impacto da expansão rápida da maxila em crianças e adolescentes respiradores bucais: uma revisão sistemática
Authors: Querente Beatriz Sales , Santos Celina Rodrigues Maia , Barros Leticia de Oliveira , Maus Laura Luiza , Araújo Miriã da Silva
Published: July 2024

Introdução: A respiração nasal é o padrão respiratório considerado fisiológico do ser humano, mas para isso é necessário a utilização adequada da cavidade nasal e da nasofaringe que pode ser comprometida por fatores obstrutivos como hipertrofia das conchas nasais ou do tecido adenoideano, alérgicos, e insuficiência da amamentação materna. Com isso, a respiração bucal substituirá a nasal ocasionando alterações estéticas, posturais, da qualidade do sono e queda das defesas imunológicas. Objetivo: Nesse sentido, o presente artigo tem como objetivo avaliar os efeitos da expansão rápida da maxila nesses pacientes a fim de melhorar a qualidade de vida. Materiais e métodos: Para elaboração desta revisão sistemática foram utilizados artigos científicos publicados nos últimos 10 anos nas bases de dados: Medline/Pubmed, SciELO e Cochrane. Resultados e discussão: Os estudos evidenciaram que a expansão rápida da maxila em crianças e adolescentes é responsável por aumentar o lúmen da cavidade nasal e diminuir a resistência respiratória, facilitando a livre passagem de ar pela cavidade nasal. Além disso, é necessário acompanhamento multidisciplinar para tornar o tratamento mais eficaz. Conclusão: A expansão rápida da maxila é um procedimento com inúmeros benefícios em pacientes com predomínio da respiração bucal, sobretudo crianças e adolescentes, no entanto, não devem ser indicados apenas para melhora da função respiratória, deve ser feita avaliação multiprofissional que comprove a indicação de realizar este procedimento. Além disso, o diagnóstico e tratamento precoces diminuem os efeitos deletérios da síndrome do respirador bucal.

Published: July 2024

Introdução: A leishmaniose é uma das principais doenças tropicais negligenciadas. Mesmo após mais de um século de estudos, as terapêuticas para leishmaniose tegumentar permanecem limitadas. Objetivo: O objetivo desta revisão é abordar os avanços recentes e novas estratégias no tratamento da leishmaniose tegumentar nos últimos dez anos. Metodologia: Foi realizada uma busca eletrônica nas bases de dados Pubmed, LILACS e na biblioteca eletrônica SciELO. Os termos de busca em inglês utilizados foram: “Cutaneous leishmaniasis”, “pentavalent antimonials”, “amphotericin B”, “miltefosine”, “combination therapies”, “immunotherapy”. Foram incluídos apenas ensaios clínicos randomizados, duplo-cegos e controlados por placebo realizados nos últimos 10 anos. Resultados e discussão: De acordo com os critérios de inclusão e exclusão, foram selecionados apenas 10 artigos. Os estudos selecionados avaliaram alternativas como a miltefosina e a anfotericina B lipossomal, que mostraram eficácia significativa, especialmente em casos refratários. As combinações de drogas, como antimoniais com paromomicina, demonstraram aumentar a eficácia e reduzir a duração do tratamento. As tecnologias moleculares, como a PCR, melhoraram o diagnóstico precoce e o monitoramento terapêutico, permitindo tratamentos mais precisos. Além disso, avanços em imunoterapia e no desenvolvimento de vacinas estão oferecendo novas perspectivas para o combate à doença. Conclusão: Embora a leishmaniose tegumentar seja um importante problema de saúde pública, os dados publicados sobre o uso de novas drogas para o tratamento da leishmaniose tegumentar ainda são bastante limitados em nosso meio. A pesquisa contínua e o desenvolvimento de novos tratamentos são essenciais para enfrentar os desafios impostos por essa doença negligenciada.

Authors: Villavicencio Dianexy Viviana Carreño , Anchundia Pedro Jacinto Quijije , López Virginia Elizabeth Rodríguez , Molina Karla Lorena Moreira , Quiroz Claudia Analía Molina
Published: July 2024

El estudio aborda la aromacología, que investiga los efectos de los aromas en el comportamiento y bienestar humano, destacando su potencial en el entorno organizacional para mejorar la productividad y satisfacción de los empleados. La aromacología, combinando psicología y ciencia de los aromas, puede influir positivamente en el ambiente laboral mediante la reducción del estrés y el incremento de la concentración y la motivación. Este artículo explora cómo el uso estratégico de aromas puede mejorar el ambiente laboral, influir en la productividad y aumentar la satisfacción de los empleados. La aromacología se distingue de la aromaterapia en que se enfoca en los efectos psicológicos de los aromas, mientras que la aromaterapia se centra en sus propiedades terapéuticas. Se revisa la literatura existente, demostrando que ciertos aromas pueden reducir el estrés, mejorar el estado de ánimo y promover la relajación. Históricamente, diversas culturas han utilizado aceites esenciales y fragancias en rituales y terapias, pero fue en el siglo XX cuando se sistematizaron los estudios científicos sobre sus efectos psicológicos. La investigación también analiza cómo las organizaciones pueden integrar la aromacología en sus entornos de trabajo para crear ambientes más creativos, menos estresantes y más concentrados.

Advancements in Alzheimer's Disease: Emerging Therapies, Lifestyle Modifications, and Early Intervention Strategies
Authors: Samakkhiwitthayakhom Theprit Sitthiyod ,   School, Wiang Subdistrict, Mueang Chiang Rai District, Chiang Rai 57000, Thailand
Published: July 2024

Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the most prevalent form of dementia, represents a major global health challenge, affecting over 45 million people worldwide with projections to triple by 2050 [1]. This progressive, irreversible neurodegenerative disease leads to cognitive decline, behavioural changes, and a significant socioeconomic burden [2]. Despite extensive research into its complex pathophysiology, involving beta-amyloid plaques and tau protein tangles, the exact causes remain a mix of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors [3]. Current treatments primarily focus on symptom management, as no cure exists [4]. This literature review synthesises recent advancements in Alzheimer’s research, exploring new pharmacological treatments, emerging therapies, and the efficacy of prevention strategies. It particularly examines how lifestyle modifications and risk factor management influence disease progression. The review highlights the potential of early intervention in at-risk individuals, aiming to prevent significant neuronal damage before clinical symptoms appear. It discusses the impact of various lifestyle factors such as diet, exercise, mental and social engagement, and cardiovascular health on AD risk. Understanding these connections is crucial, given the ageing population and rising prevalence of AD. This review aims to inform better clinical practices and health policies, potentially reducing Alzheimer’s impact and guiding healthcare professionals, researchers, and policymakers in effective interventions.

Tobacco Labelling and Advertising Rules: Lessons from Other Countries for Zimbabwe
Authors: Munguma Christopher
Published: July 2024

This paper analysed the approach that has been taken by four countries in controlling tobacco usage through advertising and labelling rules. The paper is a documentary analysis and literature review of primary and secondary legal sources. The paper considered the national approaches adopted by the Commonwealth of Australia, the United Kingdom (UK), Thailand and Zimbabwe. The first three nations were used as examples that can offer lessons to Zimbabwe on how international tobacco control obligations are met. Australia and the UK were the first two countries to adopt plain packaging and hence offer some best practices. Thailand, on the other hand, was the first developing country to adopt plain packaging rules. Thailand’s case shows that developing countries can also adopt sound tobacco control rules. The Australian law led to several national and international legal challenges that were resolved in favour of Australia. The legal domestic challenges against standardised packaging in the United Kingdom were also resolved in favour of the British government. It was established in the study that, despite acceding to the World Health Organisation Framework Convention for Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC), the Zimbabwean national legal framework is not yet compliant with the FCTC international treaty obligations. The laws of Zimbabwe are scanty and leave a lot of gaps in the control framework which have been exploited by tobacco manufacturers. This is unsatisfactory and calls for action on the part of the government.
Pragmatic Instructions in Oral Communication in Context
Authors: Quinto Joseph B
Published: July 2024

There is a need to revisit and recalibrate pragmatic instructions of English teachers in the Philippines to adequately communicate the competencies required of students. Consequently, the primary purpose of this research was to look into the pragmatic instructions utilized by senior high school English teachers and whether there was a difference in the use of their pragmatic instructions when grouped according to years of service and educational attainment in one leading private senior high school in Baguio City, Philippines. By employing a survey questionnaire and a series of classroom observations of all senior high school English teachers, the researcher found that they sometimes integrated at least one from instructional pragmatic approaches and at least one from interlanguage pragmatic awareness-raising techniques, interlanguage pragmatic communicative practice techniques, interlanguage pragmatic corrective feedback techniques, and culture teaching techniques in every lesson in their Oral Communication in Context classes. Meanwhile, there was a discrepancy between the perceptions of English teachers as expressed in the questionnaire and their performance in the classroom. Although there were generally no significant differences in the application of pragmatic instructions by English teachers when grouped according to years of service and educational attainment, there is sufficient evidence to suggest that they incorporate more approaches and more techniques as they amass more years in the English teaching profession as well as when they obtain more advanced degrees in the graduate school. Besides adding to the body of literature regarding pragmatic instructions, this research endeavor also puts forward recommendations for future study.

A VARIANT OF THE CIVILIZATIONAL APPROACH "RUSSIA ISLAND"
Authors: Kamaletdinova Alfi ya Ya.
Published: July 2024

We continue the series of publications devoted to the civilizational approach and the theory of civiliza-tion developed by Russian thinkers. In the modern interpretation, the nature of civilization and its signs were very often justifi ed using the natural and climatic factor. In the work "The Island of Russia" under consideration, the principle of geographical determinism is presented in the most detail. V. L. Tsymbursky’s consideration of the ci-vilizational approach includes a detailed analysis of the island’s interaction with straits territories and an attempt to classify "straits".
THE SYSTEM OF PERSONAL VALUES AS THE GOAL OF EDUCATION: AN AXIOLOGICAL APPROACH
Authors: Khudyakova Natalya L.
Published: July 2024

The article substantiates the position that only a system of personal values can act as the goal of educa-tion, forming the basis of a person’s personal experience, his personal culture. This ensures an understanding of the integrity of the result of both education in general and upbringing in particular. Based on knowledge about the nature of personal values, the requirements for defi ning and describing the goals of education in the design of peda-gogical systems are determined.
MODERNITY: THE PHILOSOPHICAL CONCEPTUALISATION
Authors: Dyakov Alexandr V.
Published: July 2024

The article off ers an exposition of the philosophical problematization of modernity. The author consid-ers three possible models for the thematization of modernity in the perspective of the Kantian formulation of the problem: 1) ontological, associated with the project of M. Heidegger, where the question of the historical time of modernity is pushed into the background, while the question of temporality of human existence. At the same time, the question of modernity becomes universal and must be eliminated in the future; 2) anthropological, which con-sists in preserving the pragmatic perspective of considering a person, which implies a rejection of ontology, but opens up prospects for the development of the humanities. Here the question of modernity is not eliminated, but is transferred to the fi eld of historical epistemology; 3) postmodernist, associated with the elimination of the question of man, where modernity again appears as a unique event, but left in the past. The author records the insuffi ciency of both projects for the revival of metaphysics and programs for creating traumatic history, which equally reproduce the anthropological confi guration of philosophy, and concludes that it is necessary to develop a new model of modernity — an aesthetic one.
INFLUENCE OF THE LINGUISTIC RELATIVITY ON LEARNING AND WORK OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Authors: Mamchenkov Dmitry V. , Gorbachev Ivan S.
Published: July 2024

The article analyses infl uence of linguistic relativity on existing neural networks, as well as to the fore-cast of the potential infl uence of this principle in the future on more advanced neural networks. The investigation provides an analysis of language situations when working with neural networks and a demonstration of specifi c examples of the infl uence of language on the work of AI, as well as possible situations of obtaining a positive eff ect when training neural networks considering the infl uence of linguistic relativity. Experiments conducted on neural networks demonstrating the existence of such an infl uence are described. The principles that allow to begin work on the formation of a framework for interaction with AI are formulated. The principle of engagement, which assumes that the factor of AI involvement in working with natural language not only in meanings, but also in connotations is to be taken into account. The principle of Kaja: to avoid endowing AI with consciousness and private world and not to use such metaphors.
PROBLEMS OF EPISTEMOLOGICAL FUNDAMENTALISM
Authors: Ignatova Nina Y.
Published: July 2024

The article attempts to identify the problems of epistemological fundamentalism. The author compares some types of fundamentalism and alternative epistemological theories — coherentism, pragmatism and infi nitism. The author argues that the main problems of epistemological fundamentalism should be considered the fundamen-tal inability to defend the declared infallibility and incorrigibility of basic beliefs, the existence of other minds and the inevitability of mistakes of a knowing agent. It is concluded that fundamentalism cannot be discarded, despite a large number of critical reservations.
Botulinum Toxin in Treatments for Abnormal Movements
Authors: González Chico María Gabriela , Medina Godoy Xaviera Elizabeth , Estupiñan Bazurto Miliana Esperanza , López Becerra María José
Published: July 2024

Introduction: Botulinum toxin is crucial for reducing sequelae in movement disorders such as Parkinson's. It blocks muscle contractions and improves quality of life, being used in both aesthetic and medical treatments. Methodology: A non-experimental longitudinal design was adopted, observing variables at multiple time points without manipulation. A mixed approach (qualitative and quantitative) was used with adults over 30 years old without Parkinson's history. The review included documents from PubMed, Scopus, and Scielo, applying rigorous inclusion and exclusion criteria. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of botulinum toxin in treating abnormal movements in Parkinson's and understand its long-term effects. Results: Botulinum toxin type A reduces tremors by blocking acetylcholine. It improves motor symptoms of Parkinson's and essential tremor but requires frequent and costly treatments. There is a risk of developing antibodies that decrease its effectiveness. Discussion: It offers significant benefits, but its high cost and the need for frequent treatments are challenges. Patients report satisfaction in short-term studies, but more long-term research is needed. Conclusions: Promising for movement disorders, especially Parkinson's, although limited by cost and duration of effect. Future research should seek to extend therapeutic effects and reduce costs.

Secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis in diffuse large-cell B lymphoma: a case-report

Secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (sHLH) is a rare, life-threatening and often misunderstood condition characterized by uncontrolled immune activation. Patients typically present with a pentad of symptoms including fever, hepatosplenomegaly, cytopenias affecting at least 2 of 3 cell lines, and elevated transaminase and ferritin levels. Familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (FHL), the primary form, mainly occurs in pediatric age. The underlying pathogenesis is associated with genetic defects affecting cellular immunity (CD8+ T-lymphocytes and natural killer cells). The secondary forms (sHLH) mainly occur in adulthood and are linked to underlying processes such as autoimmune diseases, malignancies or infections. Recent revisions of the diagnostic criteria, including the H-score, offer valuable guidance for clinical decision-making. Early detection is crucial, followed by a prompt initiation of immunosuppressive therapies, such as corticosteroids, methotrexate, etoposide or eventually a hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). This case-report illustrates a 79-year-old woman with sHLH secondary to an underlying B-cell lymphoma, underscoring the significance of recognition, diagnosis and treatment.
