Meigs Syndrome is a rare clinical entity characterized by the triad of benign ovarian tumor, ascites, and pleural effusion. This syndrome, often masquerading as malignant disease, presents a diagnostic challenge for healthcare professionals. In this comprehensive review, we aim to provide a detailed analysis of the clinical manifestations, diagnostic modalities, and management strategies of Meigs Syndrome. We explore the epidemiology of the syndrome, emphasizing its rarity, and discuss the various etiological theories that underlie its pathophysiology. Differential diagnoses, including malignant conditions that mimic Meigs Syndrome, are examined to guide accurate and timely diagnosis. An in-depth analysis of imaging techniques, such as ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging, is included, along with the significance of tumor markers and cytology in diagnosis. The cornerstone of treatment primarily involves surgical intervention, and we delve into the various surgical approaches and outcomes. Additionally, we shed light on the postoperative course and long-term prognosis of patients with Meigs Syndrome. This review aims to equip clinicians, radiologists, and surgeons with a comprehensive understanding of this uncommon condition to facilitate prompt recognition and effective management.

The state of lipid exchange in persons living in the territory of environmental illusion
Authors: Kudaeva Irina V. , Lysenko Anastasiya A.
Published: October 2023

Introduction. Currently, it is important to consider the issues of diagnosing nonspecific disorders occurred due to exposure of residents to chemicals in cities with chemical industry enterprises on the territory.
Materials and methods. Working 30–60 year men, permanently residing downwind from the industrial site of LLC “Usolekhimprom” in the territory exposed to mercury in the city of Usolye-Sibirskoye, were examined.
Results. The maximum concentration of total cholesterol (TCH) was 8.7 mmol/L, cholesterol (CH) of low density lipoproteins (LDL) – 6.0 mmol/L, triglycerides (TG) – 2.3 mmol/L, phospholipids – 5.5 mmol/L. The minimum content of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL cholesterol) was 0.5 mmol/L. In terms of the prevalence of disorders, hypercholesterolemia held the first place – 63% of cases, the second – a high level of LDL cholesterol – 59%, the third – an increase in ApoB – 45%. Hyperphospholipidemia occurred in 35%, hypertriglyceridemia – in 23%. Reduced HDL cholesterol was recorded in 5.3%. Low concentration of Apo A1 was registered in 20% of cases. A high level of atherogenic index was common among 16%. The prevalence of high LDL-CH was consistent with that of hypercholesterolemia, as evidenced by the correlation coefficient between the indices (R=0.77) and between the level of TCH and Apo B (R=0.80). A HDL cholesterol high level does not always indicate the antiatherogenic ability of lipoproteins, and therefore the revealed low prevalence of hypoalphacholesterolemia in the examined individuals (lower than in Russia - 16%) does not indicate antiatherogenic changes. The triglyceridemia level was associated with the ApoB concentration, which indicates its contribution to the development of proatherogenic disorders. A possible mechanism of hyperphospholipidemia is the formation of a compensatory-adaptive stimulus to the phospholipids synthesis in response to hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia.
Limitations. Male persons. Age 30–60 years.
Conclusion. In persons living in the ecological trouble zone, a high frequency of lipid metabolism disorders was revealed. This fact can be considered as one of the main predisposing factors for the development of cardiovascular diseases in this cohort.

Published: October 2023

Introduction. The article presents results of the study of the human body functional state when using a set of shielding personal protective equipment during modelling of electrical staff occupational activity in a hot environment.
Materials and methods. The studies were carried out in the climatic chamber with an air temperature 35.5 ± 0.5 °C and a WGBT index of 30.0 ± 0.8 °C. Studies of the human body functional state were conducted with the participation of twelve volunteers who used a set of shunting shielding personal protective equipment and a control clothing set. The values of body temperature, skin both temperature and humidity, clothing temperature and humidity under dressing were recorded. General heat and local moisture perceptions were evaluated. During the research, the heart rate and metabolic rate were recorded by indirect calorimetry. The values of the average skin & body temperature, heart rate increase, changes in heat storage rate, as well as moisture exchange indicators were calculated.
Results. The results of the physiological cost assessment indicate that the use of a shielding personal protective equipment set compared to the control set led to a greater increase in core temperature (by 47.7%), higher values of average body temperature (by 1.3%), heat storage rate (by 24.2%), heart rate (by 24.7%), the metabolic rate (by 20.7%), moisture loss (by 55.6%).
Limitations. The study had limitations due to sample size of the included volunteers.
Conclusion. The data obtained indicate a significant change in the human body functional state and a critical risk of overheating when using shielding personal protective equipment. The use of a shielding clothing increases the physiological and energy cost of work, which is expressed in a gain in the metabolic rate level, oxygen consumption, and a work category elevation from IIa to IIb.

Introduction. Cadmium is widespread in the environment as a result of industrial activity, the use of agrochemicals, smoking. Children and adolescents are an eco-sensitive group of the population, and indicators of their physical and mental development are highly informative indicators of environmental impact.
The purpose of the review was to study the effects of cadmium on the physical and mental development in children and adolescents.
Search and selection of sources. A search was conducted for literature that is freely available using the search engines PubMed, Science Direct and elibrary. The search was carried out by the keywords: “effects of cadmium on the physical and mental development of children”, as well as on their individual indicators. The initial search allowed identifying seven thousand eight hundred sixty one reports, after an independent evaluation by two experts, 24 full-text publications remained. The inclusion criteria were: original data on the effect of cadmium on the development indicators in children and adolescents at any route of its entry into the body, a mathematically proven link between the level of cadmium with development indicators, taking into account the possibility of data bias.
Results. The analysis of the subject matter and design of publications allowed establishing a limited set of criteria for assessing the physical and mental development (there are no indicators of dental maturity, puberty of boys, speech development, playing activity). Most studies indicate the effect of intrauterine exposure to cadmium on the body weight in newborns. The negative effect of cadmium on intellectual development begins to be determined in the senior preschool and school age and is also found in most studies. Contradictory data were obtained for the remaining indicators. Most researchers have not received data on sex differences when exposed to cadmium.
Conclusion. Additional comprehensive randomized multicentric studies of the physical and mental development of children under the influence of cadmium, conducted according to a single protocol, are needed.

Authors: Setko Nina P. , Setko Andrey G. , Zhdanova Olesya M.
Published: October 2023

Introduction. Alcohol use by young people remains a serious medical, social and economic problem that contributes significantly to disease worldwide.
The purpose of the study is to determine the socio-psychological features of the formation of alcohol consumption motives among students.
Materials and methods. Undergraduate and senior students of the Medical University were assessed the level of alcohol consumption using the screening test AUDIT (The Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test), developed by WHO (1989); motives for alcohol consumption using the questionnaire “Motivation of alcohol consumption” according to V.Yu. Zavyalova (1989); the level of social health according to the questionnaire of E.V. Tsikalyuk (2013), anxiety and depression using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) questionnaire developed by A.S. Zigmond, R.P. Snaith (1983), adapted
by A.W. Andryushchenko et al. (2003).
Results. At an acceptable level of alcohol consumption, with a relatively low risk of alcohol-associated problems (92.2%), the leading motives for alcohol consumption in 79.7% of students were established to be socio-psychological motives, the formation of which was due to the average level of social health, conformal social functioning characteristic of 85.9% of students, while the development of personal motives for alcohol consumption, which prevailed in only
a fifth of students (19.4%), was characterized by an increase in the level of anxiety by 1.4 times, a decrease in the level of social health by 1.2 times, relative
to these students with the dominance of socio-psychological motives.
Limitations. The lack of anonymity in conducting surveys, which affects the accuracy of the results obtained with the possibility of their underestimation, may be a limitation of the study.
Conclusion. The formation of a relatively low risk of alcohol-associated problems among the vast majority of students, the gain in the motivation for alcohol consumption and an increase in the proportion of students who abuse alcohol from junior to senior courses, dictates the need for preventive measures aimed at creating a healthy lifestyle that excludes alcohol consumption among students. Young people, which can be achieved by strengthening the educational component, developing a system for monitoring and controlling alcohol consumption, identifying students of the “risk group” with symptoms of anxiety and depression, a reduced level of social health and their correction.

Authors: Efimova Natalya V. , Mylnikova Inna V. , Kudaev Andrey N.
Published: October 2023

Introdution. Aerogenic exposure to chemicals can contribute to the formation of violations of the main regulatory systems of the body.
The aim is to assess the aerogenic risk to the health in adolescent boys at various levels of physical activity.
Materials and methods. The content of chemicals in the air of sports halls of general education and sports schools was assessed by single samples, the risk was calculated from the average values of samples taken over 1 hour. The risk is calculated for young 13–17 years boys, taking into account somatometric indicators, the intensity of physical activity.
Results. Somatometric indicators of adolescents with moderate and intense levels of activity corresponded to the age norm. The concentrations of suspended solids, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen, formaldehyde in the air of sports halls met the hygienic standards. An aerogenic risk at a moderate level of activity corresponded to hazard index (HI) = 1.5–1.9 at rest, HI = 1.9–2.3 after exercise; intensive level – HI=2.1–4 and HI=3.9–7, respectively. The value of HI at rest and after exercise by 57–58.9% is determined by the content of suspended solids, including PM2.5 = 30-32%, PM10 = 25-26.9%.
Limitations of the study are due to the fact that when assessing the hazard index, not all chemicals that may be present in the air of sports facilities are taken into account.
Conclusion. The study points to the need to control chemicals in the air of sports facilities and study the effect of chemicals on the state of the leading systems
of adolescents, taking into account the level of physical activity.

Introduction. Acrylamide used industrially is also widely known to be a toxic compound produced during high temperature cooking. Given the danger of its entry into the body, it is important to continue fundamental research to study the mechanism of its toxicity and search for effective ways to correct the disorders caused by it.
The purpose of the research is to study the features of metabolic changes in the liver of rats under conditions of chronic exposure to acrylamide and evaluate the effectiveness of their preventive correction with oxymethyluracil complex compounds.
Materials and methods. Studies were performed on sixty white outbred male rats weighing 180–200 g. Acrylamide was administered intragastrically at a dose of 5 mg/kg of body weight for 90 days. Correction of possible disorders was carried out 1 hour before the administration of the toxicant with complex compounds of oxymethyluracil with ascorbic acid (MG-1), with sodium succinate (MG-2) and acetylcysteine (MG-10). Biochemical parameters were studied after
45 and 90 days of the experiment.
Results. Studies have shown long-term intake of acrylamide at a dose of 5 mg/kg of body weight to lead to metabolic disorders. A statistically significant increase in the activity of the enzymes aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (AP), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) was found. Statistically significant differences in the level of activity of ALT, alkaline phosphatase and SOD for the period of the experiment of 45 days compared with the positive control group were established in the group receiving the MG-10 preparation. After 90 days, in the group of animals treated with the MG-2 preparation, the activity of ALT and alkaline phosphatase decreased significantly. The introduction of the drug MG-10 had a statistically significant effect on ALT activity, reducing it to the level in the negative control group of animals treated with distilled water.
Limitations of the study are related to the correction with complex compounds of oxymethyluracil carried out only in a prophylactic regimen. For the final judgment on their protective effectiveness, it is necessary to introduce them in the accompanying and restorative regimes, as well as to study other biochemical parameters when exposed to acrylamide.
Conclusion. The best protective effect at a period of 45 days was shown by a complex compound of oxymethyluracil with acetylcysteine, at a period of 90 days –
a complex compound of oxymethyluracil with sodium succinate.

Authors: Lawan Dr. Musa Alkali , Bachaka Dr. (Ass. Prof) Ahmad Muhammed , Usman Abdullahi
Published: October 2023

Boko Haram has threatened the peace and wellbeing of the nation especially in the North-Eastern parts of Nigeria. The Federal Government initiated counterinsurgency measures involving the National Security Agencies with the sole mandate of restoring law and order. However, the security agencies in their counterinsurgency measures against the Boko Haram insurgency have committed series of human rights violations against the citizens. One of the serious human rights violated by the security agencies against the citizens is the right against enforced disappearance. The aim of this paper, is to examine the extent to which the security agencies engaged in violating citizens’ right against enforced disappearance, and whether the perpetrators are held accountable for such human right violation. To achieve this, the research adopted doctrinal methodology otherwise known as theoretical. The findings reveal that the security agencies have engaged in violating citizens’ right against enforced disappearance and no perpetrator was held accountable. The paper recommends that, cases of enforced disappearance be investigated and the perpetrators be brought before justice and also the Convention against Enforced Disappearance be domesticated in Nigeria.
Military Reshuffles is the Wrong Prophylaxis for Coup D’etat in Africa: A Caveat to African Leaders
Authors: Sr. Dr. Ambrues Monboe Nebo
Published: October 2023

A day after soldiers in Gabon seized power and placed President Ali Bongo Ondimba under house arrest following the disputed elections, various international media top stories featured Paul Biya of Cameroon and Paul Kagame of Rwanda probably fearing the spread of coup d’etat wasted no time to reshuffle their respective military. Using a qualitative research approach with an emphasis on content analysis, this article takes a deeper look into the political decisions made in Cameroon and Rwanda. As its theoretical underpinning, the article adopts political development theory that guides the discussion or argument throughout the paper. Succinctly, the article advanced the argument that reshuffling the military is the wrong prophylaxis for the spread of coup d’etat. It argues that the deteriorating political development in countries that recently experienced coup d’etat provides the incentives or grounds for the military to intervene on behalf of ordinary citizens and to save the state from further deterioration. It concludes with a caveat for any African leader whose country shares similar political idiosyncrasies with Gabon, Cameroon, and Rwanda contemplating to reshuffle their military. This is because the military is far distance away from the deteriorating political culture or development that provokes disenchantment and popular uprisings threatening the legitimacy of the government. Finally, the article draws African leaders attention to these complementary quotes “Ambition knows no father” coined by Jennes Sethi, and Ambition knows no loyalty developed by the author of this article.

Variables such as surgical time, bleeding, complications, and consolidation time were assessed using JASP 0.16.0.0 software and statistical tests. RESULTS: Out of all patients, 53.19% were treated with interfragmentary screws, while 46.80% were not. No statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups. Complications occurred in 7 out of 25 patients with interfragmentary screws and in 4 out of 22 patients without them, with average follow-up periods of 82.81 and 76.8 days, respectively. Consolidation time was similar in both groups, with no statistical differences. CONCLUSION: Although interfragmentary screws are beneficial for achieving primary consolidation, this study suggests that they may not be universally necessary, especially when precise anatomical reduction is accomplished. Anatomical reduction remains pivotal in fracture management. While interfragmentary screws can provide compression, their use may increase costs, recovery time, and complications.

Organizational sustainability has replaced the concept of organizational performance in the corporate era. Organizations are keener towards social, economic, and environmental performance than just financial performance. Corporations and researchers explore different subjects and departments to attain organizational sustainability. HRM is also a topic of interest to improve sustainability performance. The AMO theory is widely recognized as a robust framework within the Human Resource Management (HRM) field that offers valuable guidance for achieving improved sustainable performance. The main objective of this study was to investigate the theoretical foundations of the AMO theory concerning the many aspects of Talent Management, with the ultimate goal of achieving organizational sustainability. In order to achieve the aim of the study, a comprehensive examination of existing literature was undertaken to provide a theoretical framework. This conceptual paradigm comprises three phases: ability, motivation, and opportunity. Various Talent Management dimensions were supported by antecedent research to achieve organizational sustainability. Even though this concept establishes fundamental guidelines, pertinent knowledge must be considered to reconcile these procedures in various circumstances. This article provides an in-depth discussion of the AMO Theory to attain organizational sustainability in various aspects. A constructive framework was developed to create organizational sustainability by incorporating Talent Management into the context of the AMO theory. In this study, both theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
