Infographic modeling of the structure of the virtual space of the educational process of the individual. Part 1
Authors: Chulkov Vitali
Published: April 2020

The possibility of infographic modeling of the modern phased educational process as a virtual space of mental activity and productive activity of an individual is shown. This space is considered as a sequence of “steps of ascent” of a person from his initial educational process in the family to the educational and research process of training a specialist of the highest category in the university. Such an “ascent” allows us to consistently expand and improve the individual field of opportunities for a particular person, ensuring that he is able to carry out activities in accordance with the knowledge, skills and competencies obtained. The process of "ascent", due to objective or subjective circumstances, can be stopped at any of the stages under consideration and subsequently continued. The materials presented in this article are the result of research by the author and his scientific school “Infographic modeling of functional systems”, the results of which were summarized in publications.
Design of submerged vane matrices to accompany a river intake in Australia
Authors: Lake Ronald William , Shaeri Saeed , Senevirathna S T M L D
Published: April 2020

This paper focuses on the design of river-based submerged vane matrices in a regional Australian context. The specific study site is proximal to intake screens within the riverbed that experiences continual clogging from sediment deposition. The local authority experiences discontinuous supply to the water-treatment plant owing to a high sediment concentration. Data on the river flow, depth, turbidity and rainfall were collected, and analyses of sediment composition, gradation and density were carried out within this research. Through the study of incipient sediment motion and hydraulics, with specific reference to the method of Shields, the shear stress and critical velocity necessary for sediment motion were determined. The results provided guidance for an iterative modelling design of submerged vanes within the local context ultimately configured as symmetrical diverging vane matrices. Placed a short distance upstream of the existing intake screens at a 30° angle to the river flow direction on two symmetric arms, the three vane arrays generate secondary flow as a function of the existing flow around the vanes. The purpose of the vane matrix is twofold, firstly to redirect sediment away from the existing infiltration galleries and secondly to scour the riverbed within the bounds of the matrices. With a subsequent increase in the depth of water, intake screen(s) placed within and orthogonal to the flow would benefit from an increased depth in combination with a reduction in sediment delivery to the screen(s).

To identify the prevalence and diagnostic criteria of Molar-Incisor Hipomineralization (MIH) in the scientific literature. Materials and Methods: This is a bibliographical research conducted through the analysis of indexed articles until October 2017 in the PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus databases. The Medical Subject Headings (MESH) used were "Dental Enamel Hypoplasia" and "Molar Incisor Hypomineralization". The analysis of articles was carried out by two reviewers, who collected information independently. The following information was collected: author, year of publication, place of work (continent and country), sample calculation, sample number, age of participants, type of study, prevalence of molar-incisor hypomineralization and criteria used for diagnosis. Data were tabulated using Microsoft Excel for Windows and presented using descriptive statistics. Results: A total of 484 articles were found and 57 were included in the study. Most of the studies were conducted in Europe (35%), and 31.6% of the studies mentioned using a probability sampling. The number of study participants ranged from 99 for a study in Brazil to 3,591 in Kenya. The most frequent age was 8 years, while the predominant type of study was cross-sectional (91.2%). The prevalence varied from 0.4% to 37.3% and most studies (73.6%) employed the European Academy of Pediatric Dentistry criteria for the diagnosis of MIH. Conclusion: There is great variability in prevalence in different countries, probably due to the use of different diagnostic criteria being used, and due to different age groups and geographical variation.

Authors: Kathirgamam Vijayakumar , Ambike Mandar , Bokan Raju , Bharambe Vaishaly , Prasad Arun
Published: April 2020

Introduction: Human body types (somatotypes) are classified into ectomorph, mesomorph, and endomorph. The ectomorphs are physically weak and usually tall. Mesomorphs were characterized as muscular, thick skinned with good upright posture. Endomorphs characterized as fat, heavy, and usually short.

Methods: This study is an interventional study, in which a total number of 45 healthy male volunteers between the age group of 22 and 28 years were observed. Written consent was obtained from the patients after a detailed explanation of the study. Exercises were prescribed and executed based on the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) guidelines for exercise testing and prescription. Body composition, cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, and flexibility were assessed.

Results: The statistical analyses were done using the SPSS software version 16 executed at a 95% confidence interval. Mean and standard deviations were calculated by descriptive statistics. A paired t-test was done to find the effectiveness of the intervention. The level of significance in all tests was set to p < 0.05. Positive changes were observed in health-related fitness among the three groups.

Conclusion: This study reports about finding the somatotypes, and exercising based on that will provide the best results in health-related fitness components designed by the ACSM.
Investigar desde la performance
Authors: Citro Silvia Viviana , Podhajcer Adil , Roa María Luz , Rodríguez Manuela
Published: April 2020

En este trabajo discutimos los aportes de metodologías transdisciplinarias de performance-investigación en las prácticas antropológicas y sus modos de divulgación, indagando en sus implicancias epistemológicas y políticas en el campo de estudios sobre la corporalidad-subjetividad. Analizamos comparativamente tres procesos de performance-investigación que generaron obras de “teatro etnográfico” e “intervenciones performáticas participativas” referidas a la exclusión social, las violencias étnico-raciales y de género. Nuestra hipótesis es que estas metodologías permiten diversificar y ampliar las formas de conocimiento y reflexividad y promueven nuevas formas de sociabilidad y circulación del conocimiento, al favorecer modalidades participativas y relaciones más simétricas.
Imaginarios, conocimiento e individuo
Authors: Carrera Juan Erick
Published: April 2020

En este texto me propongo analizar teórica y reflexivamente la cotidianidad desde una perspectiva antropológico-filosófica convergiendo en un análisis sobre el sujeto-de conocimiento y las estructuras imaginario-sociales que expresan una realidad entendida como cotidiana. No hay más pretensión que intentar buscar una forma genuina y laxa de hacer, si se quiere, una antropología filosófica basada en la experiencia de lo cotidiano, una que nos exprese su más áspera naturaleza y nos haga preguntarnos sobre una cuestión fundamental; la experiencia como un proceso de situaciones intersubjetivas que otorgan sentido al mundo. Constituyéndose la cotidianidad como esa red de relaciones significadas que sostiene la vida sociocultural. De este modo, trataré el problema de la cotidianidad desde tres dimensiones reflexivas; el individuo, los imaginarios y el conocimiento social, para, desde esta tríada, proponer una narrativa que nos conduzca a ese subsuelo de la cotidianidad.
Minimum Distance Index for BSS, Generalization, Interpretation and Asymptotics
Authors: Lietzén Niko , Virta Joni , Nordhausen Klaus , Ilmonen Pauliina
Published: April 2020

We consider complex valued linear blind source separation, where the signal dimension might be smaller than the dimension of the observable data vector. In order to measure the success of the signal separation, we propose an extension of the minimum distance index and establish its properties. Interpretations for the index are derived through connections to signal-to-noise ratios and correlations. The interpretations are novel also for the real valued original case. In addition, we consider the asymptotic behavior of the extended minimum distance index. This paper is an invited extended version of the paper presented at the CDAM 2019 conference.

Stochastic permanence of solution to stochastic non-autonomous logistic equation with jumps
Authors: Borysenko O.D. , Borysenko D.O.
Published: April 2020

It is investigated the non-autonomous logistic differential equation with disturbance of coeffcients by white noise, centered and non-centered Poisson noises. The coeffcients of equation are locally Lipschitz continuous but do not satisfy the linear growth condition. This equation describes the dynamics of population in the Verhulst model which takes into account the logistic eect: an increase of the population size produces a fertility decrease and a mortality increase; since resources are limited, if the population size exceeds some threshold level, the habitat cannot support the growth. The property of stochastic permanence is desirable since it means the long time survival in a population dynamics. The suffcient conditions for the stochastic permanence of population in the considered model is obtained.
Digitalization of the Initial Stage of Criminal Proceedings as a Necessary Means of Ensuring the Rights of Victims
Authors: Voskobitova L. A.
Published: April 2020

The paper deals with the problems related to the protection and enforcement of the rights of the victim during acceptance, registration and examination of reports of crimes at the initial stage of criminal proceedings. The author substantiates the necessity of improving the practice of initiation of criminal proceedings, the judicial data for the purpose of precise implementation of Art. 52 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, as well as proposals on digitalization at this stage of criminal proceedings. The author emphasizes that criminal proceedings should be considered as a uniform state power activity, beginning with a report on the committed crime and ending with the final resolution of all substantive and procedural issues arising in the case. In view of this, the process of digitalization of criminal proceedings should be based on a single platform linking not only all stages of the proceedings, but also officials of any of the departments carrying out certain phases of this activity. Such a platform should comply with the statutory framework, be accessible to all participants in the process whose rights and interests are affected by the activity under consideration. The platform should represent a flexible digital system that secures the secret of production with regard to some parameters, including investigatory privilege, protection of the honor and dignity of a person, his or her right to privacy, family and other secrets protected by law. But according to other parameters it should be accessible for the person involved in this proceeding, his advocate and representative. In addition, according to certain parameters complying with the law, this platform should also be accessible for other persons to conduct research and to summarize the practice of criminal proceedings in the past; for the media providing the public with access to information about the proceedings in certain cases or in the public debate on certain legal issues, and it should be available to enforce protection of human rights in the field of criminal proceedings, etc.
Discussion on the Nature of the Principles of Law (Legal Principles) in the Context of Convergence of Legal Systems
Authors: Irkhin I. V.
Published: April 2020

Based on the analysis of the approaches contained in the domestic and foreign literature, the correlation of the principles of law and legal principles is analyzed. The problems of using methodological tools for scientific knowledge of these concepts are highlighted, and the criteria for their correlation are considered. The author shares the researchers’ viewpoint about the identity of legal principles and principles of law. The author’s definition of the principles of law (legal principles) is formulated. It is pointed out that the position contained in the literature on the identity of the principles of law (legal principles) and requirements is debatable. The principles of law (legal principles) are considered in the context of their identification as sources (forms) of law. The libertarian approach to understanding the principles of law (legal principles) is analyzed, and the thesis is formulated that it does not exhaust all the diversity of the value dimension of law. The author substantiates the non-adaptability of the positivist approach to the interpretation of the principles of law (legal principles) to the common law family states. The dualism inherent in the principles of law (legal principles) is emphasized, which is manifested in the qualities of universality and locality. In this perspective, the author highlights the problem of increasing influence of religious regulators of social behavior, which can inspire the development and expansion of dissonance between the principles of law based on secular and religious law. It is indicated that intensive immigration from clerical (theocratic) states exacerbates the problem of harmonization of the principles of law in the implementation of contacts between civilizations of different orientations and levels of development. The author shows tendencies of formation of national-cultural and religious enclaves within which "own principles of law" are applied, which produces the development of parallel "legal spaces" that strengthen social confrontation.
On the Legal Nature of the Contract on Voluntary (Volunteer) Activity: Comparative Legal Analysis
Authors: Blinova Yu. V.
Published: April 2020

Today, legislators define the legal nature of the contract on voluntary (volunteer) activity in Russia in the form ranging from civil law to a complex contract, but the scope and limits of incorporation of related legislation remain open, which causes legal uncertainty, so it seems appropriate to analyze foreign models of regulation of voluntary (volunteer) activities. The two foreign models of regulation of volunteer relations through agreements are based on different ideas. German law elevates voluntary activity to the rank of service (alternative to civil service) and scrupulously fixes all issues of voluntary service in the law, setting the responsibility of the volunteer as a priority. The social significance of voluntary activity, resorting to the norms of administrative and labor legislation makes it possible not only to burden the volunteer, but also to protect him. The English model shows an example of a liberal approach, it is aimed at maximum separation of the subject from the employment agreement (contract). However, the agreement does not become part of the civil law field, remaining a moral obligation outside the legal field. The main point here is the freedom of expression of volunteers, which primarily provides for the possibility of a volunteer at any time to refuse to perform the functions. In Russia, the relationship between a volunteer and an organization is formed by a civil law or complex agreement on voluntary (volunteer) activities (mono — or multi-industry). The choice in favor of a multi-industry complex agreement is due to the high qualification of the volunteer’s assistance. It is necessary to proceed from a closed list of issues that can / should migrate from labor law to a contract on voluntary (volunteer) activity; these issues should be enshrined in the law, for example, restrictions related to employment in certain areas, provisions on the protection of personal data.
Analysis of Possible Application of Personal Data, Personal Secrets, and Medical Confidentiality to the Regulation of Relations Concerning Genetic Information
Authors: Rassolov I. M. , Chubukova S. G. , Mikurova I. V.
Published: April 2020

The analysis of the European and Russian legislation and documents of international organizations made it possible to draw the following conclusions. The uniqueness of genetic data is determined by the following characteristics. These data are relatively static, do not develop by themselves during life. They are in principle unchanged, since it is impossible to simultaneously modify all identical genes present in all cells of the same organism. They can be invariant with respect to their carrier, going beyond the individual carrier through transmission from generation to generation. The subject can be identified using various identifiers specific to the subject’s physiological, genetic, psychological, cultural, or social identity, such as biometric data such as facial image, fingerprints, iris, venous palm pattern, genetic markers, and "digital" footprints. The legal regime of secrecy can be applied to genetic information by analogy, taking into account the specifics of the source of origin of genetic information and special rules for its processing. However, existing restricted access information regimes do not take into account the specifics of genetic data. The difference between genetic information and other personal data and medical secrecy protected in the regimes is that other family members — blood relatives or a spouse may be interested in it, in addition to the information carrier itself, which is not taken into account in the current Russian legislation. Special mechanisms for the legal protection of genetic information should be introduced, which should be enshrined in a special law "On genetic information".
Preterm birth in women with diabetes mellitus

Published: April 2020

Hypothesis/aims of study. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with an increased risk of obstetric complications, including preterm birth (PB). The incidence rate of PB in women with DM is higher than in the general population and amounts to 3040%. Nevertheless, there are still open questions on the structure of PB, pharmacological approaches to its prevention and treatment, as well as the feasibility of prolonging the timing of glucocorticoid therapy to reduce perinatal morbidity and mortality. The objective of this study was to research the features of structure and clinical approaches in the case of PB in women with different types of DM, based on a literature review.
Study design, materials and methods. The study was performed using literature search, screening, data extraction, and analysis of publications collected in world databases such as MEDLINE, EMBASE, CNKI, and Cochrane.
Results. The rate of PB is the highest in women with pregestational DM: 2130% in type 1 DM and 1940% in type 2 DM. The incidence of PB in gestational DM (710%) is almost equal to the general population level (79%) and depends on the type of diabetes therapy: insulin 16%, diet 7%. Risk factors for PB in women with DM are poor glycaemic control, microvascular complications of DM, hypertension, obesity, infection, age, fetal macrosomia, polyhydramnios, and congenital malformations. Adequate glycemic control from early gestation is an important condition for PB prevention. The structure of PB in patients with pregestational DM changes due to an increase in both spontaneous and induced PB proportions. The most common indications for early delivery in DM are preeclampsia, premature placental abruption, impaired renal function in diabetic nephropathy, severe forms of carbohydrate metabolism disorders, diabetic fetopathy, and fetal distress. The risk of fetal respiratory distress syndrome in newborns of mothers with DM is higher than in the general population. The maturity of the lungs of a newborn may be insufficient, even in the case of term delivery. The use of antenatal corticosteroids is effective prophylaxis of respiratory disorders. However, these corticosteroids can increase the risk of neonatal hypoglycemia.
Conclusion. Despite the term weight and height, the newborn of a mother with DM may remain immature, therefore, delivery at term is recommended. The gestational age, until which it is advisable to prescribe corticosteroids for pregnant women with DM, and the mode of delivery in the case of PB, remain a matter of debate.
Efficiency of the combination of transdermal estrogens and a hormone-releasing intrauterine system for the correction of menopausal symptoms
Authors: Medvedevа Irina N. , Svyatchenko Kseniya S.
Published: April 2020

Hypothesis/aims of study. The aim of this study was to assess the efficiency of Mirena (levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system) combined with EstroGel (17-estradiol transdermal gel) being applied in the test group of peri- and postmenopausal women as menopausal hormonal therapy.
Study design, materials and methods. The study involved 62 patients aged 42 to 55 years. The main group included 33 women who were prescribed Mirena in combination with EstroGel. The control group consisted of 29 women who were prescribed a combined two-phase tablet preparation containing micronized 17-estradiol as an estrogen component and dydrogesterone as a gestagen component. The condition of the patients was evaluated at the beginning of therapy and after 3, 6 and 12 months.
Results. During therapy, patients in the main group decreased climacteric symptoms and improved lipid profile and blood biochemical parameters characterizing the hepatobiliary system. Patients in the control group had a comparable decrease in menopausal symptoms; however, there were changes in biochemical parameters, such as hypertriglyceridemia and a significant increase in bilirubin and transaminases, which required discontinuation of therapy. All the patients using Mirena in combination with EstroGel demonstrated good tolerability, efficiency of the therapy and no significant symptoms requiring its withdrawal. During the menopausal hormonal therapy, there were no cases of relapse of endometrial hyperplasia, growth of myomatous nodes and an increase in endometriosis prevalence. Patients in the control group during the first three months of therapy noted acyclic spotting, breast engorgement and tenderness, headaches, and exacerbation of cholelithiasis, which resulted in decreased adherence to therapy.
Conclusion. The use of estrogen transdermally in combination with the intrauterine administration of levonorgestrel is an effective and safe method that helps to relieve menopausal symptoms and to improve the health and quality of life of women with extragenital pathology, endometrial and mammary gland hyperplastic processes, endometriosis, and menometrorrhagia.

Authors: Dadayeva Dzhamilya G.
Published: April 2020

Microbial invasion of the amniotic cavity and subsequent infection process are the leading cause of adverse pregnancy and postpartum outcomes. Intra-amniotic infection can be caused by both pathogenic and opportunistic microorganisms and viruses, but in the vast majority of cases, intra-amniotic infection is associated with the normal microflora of different body sites. In this review article, the current literature data on the role of the placental microbiota in the adverse pregnancy outcomes and on the sources and mechanisms of intra-amniotic infection are summarized.

The Caucasus has a documented history of cataloging earthquakes stretching back to the beginning of the Christian era. Instrumental seismic observation in the Caucasus began in 1899, when the first seismograph was installed in Tbilisi, Georgia. During the Soviet era (1921–1991 in Georgia), the number of seismic stations increased in the region, providing better network coverage and a valuable dataset for seismic research. Data from many thousands of earthquakes recorded by this regional network was stored on paper in seismic bulletins. As part of the project outlined in this article, we pulled together and digitized all available paper bulletins from Georgia and neighboring countries. This allowed significant Limprovements in location accuracy and recalculation of more robust moment magnitudes for earthquakes in this region. It also paved the way for future collaboration and data exchange among the countries in the Caucasus.

The resulting earthquake catalog with the new locations and magnitudes was used to conduct a probabilistic seismic hazard assessment to support a major update to the building code in Georgia to align it with the European codes. This article outlines the improvements made to the earthquake catalog in Georgia using legacy data and the new hazard assessment based on this improved dataset.

Towards a New Digital Historicism?
Authors: Fickers Andreas
Published: April 2020

This article argues that the contemporary hype in digitization and
dissemination of our cultural heritage – especially of audiovisual sources –
is comparable to the boom of critical source editions in the late 19th
century. But while the dramatic rise of accessibility to and availability of
sources in the 19th century went hand in hand with the development of new
scholarly skills of source interpretation and was paralleled by the
institutionalization of history as an academic profession, a similar trend
of an emerging digital historicism today seems absent. This essay aims at
reflecting on the challenges and chances that the discipline of history –
and the field of television history in particular – is actually facing. It
offers some thoughts and ideas on how the digitization of sources and their
online availability affects the established practices of source
criticism.

Retelling the Past with Broadcast Archives
Authors: Treleani Matteo , Mussou Claude
Published: April 2020

he publication of audiovisual archives asks many questions about the
meaning of documents. Publishing a video archive on a Web site, for example,
is a re-contextualisation. The loss of cultural references needed to
understand a document implies the necessity to recontextualise documents.
This means adding elements, such as titles, descriptions and other
information. This paper analyzes the case of a video published by Ina on its
Web platform Ina.fr and its Blog, the Blognote. The video, dated 1st January
1947, is a report envisioning a future when surveillance cameras would be
installed on the streets in Paris. These two instances of publication offer
two different views on the editorialization of video archives.

Someone’s treasure: a legacy for all?
Authors: Franco Arce Samuel
Published: April 2020

The Casa K’ojom in La Antigua Guatemala, Guatemala, houses a unique collection of physical objects and audiovisual materials devoted to Mayan cultural heritage, both tangible and intangible. What began as a private collection has evolved into a museum where thousands of visitors have learned about Mayan culture and music. This paper highlights the development and care of the collections from the perspective of the Casa K’ojom’s founder and current director, Samuel Franco Arce. It reviews the steps he is taking to preserve the collection’s analogue and digital material for the future, all the while not neglecting important non-digital artefacts. It also proposes future solutions to issues within an archive that has to address constantly changing technologies, user needs, audiovisual formats and intellectual property rights laws.
Philology in the preservation of audio documents
Authors: Bressan Federica
Published: April 2020

Sound recordings have proven to be irreplaceable primary sources for disciplines like linguistics, musicology, ethnomusicology and sociology. Their fragile physical nature has activated a number of counter-actions aimed at prolonging the life expectancy of their content. Methodological issues have been raised in the past three decades, considering the relationship between the physical object and its (digitized) intangible content, which is not only complex but develops over time. This article re ects on the role of the emerging discipline known as ‘digital philology’ in the long- term preservation of audio documents, pointing out how some concepts (such as authenticity, reliability and accuracy) may require a ‘customized’ (as opposed to a ‘ready-made’) approach in the preservation work ow – mainly depending on the type of the archive: unique copies, eld recordings, electronic music, oral history, to name some representative cases. The set-up of the laboratory for sound preservation at the Centro di Sonologia Computazionale (CSC) of the University of Padova, Italy, represents one customized approach in which conscious methodological decisions support philologically informed digitization e orts. The methods affect the results, and ultimately the consequences are not merely technological but cultural.
Adapting university education in a digital and globally networked world
Authors: Jimenez Mona
Published: April 2020

Since 2003, the Moving Image Archiving and Preservation Program (MIAP) at New York University has graduated nearly 90 new moving image preservation professionals. Practices for moving image archiving and preservation have changed dramatically since the programme began. In addition, ‘born-digital’ productions have become the norm. Thus, MIAP has needed to continually adapt to the increasingly broad nature of heritage collections, and to new approaches and practices aimed at maintaining perpetual access to moving image works. In addition, MIAP has encouraged these professionals to understand their work in a global context and to approach international collaborations in a spirit of exchange. Changes in MIAP have been informed by a set of principles present from the beginning of the programme, by an early and continued emphasis on a full spectrum of media types and by projects and initiatives undertaken by faculty, staff, students and alumni.
From analogue collection to multifunctional access
Authors: Kwiatek Filip
Published: April 2020

Polish audiovisual heritage is a very important part of the cultural legacy of the country. Unfortunately the use of and access to Polish audiovisual archives is still in its initial phases. The Polish Ministry of Culture and National Heritage has made great strides towards solving the problems of access and limitations of use. In 2009 the ministry established the National Audiovisual Institute (NInA), which prompted several digitization projects including collaborations between Polish Public TV, National Archives, museums and private collections. This paper highlights some of the creative uses of Poland’s audiovisual heritage and demonstrates how NInA has become an innovator and a leader in the audiovisual field in Poland and Eastern Europe.
An analysis of relaparotomy in operative obstetrics
Authors: Kumari Archana , Vidyarthi Anubha
Published: April 2020

Background: Relaparotomy in obstetrics following caesarean section or laparotomy is associated with high morbidity and mortality and hence, considered as maternal near miss. Selection of patient for the same is crucial. This study was done to know the incidence, indications, the risk factors, intraoperative procedures and mortality rates of relaparotomy.Methods: A retrospective analysis of relaparotomy after primary obstetric surgery over a period of two and half years (June 2016 to November 2018) was done in department of obstetrics and gynecology of Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences, Ranchi, India.Results: During study period 28 cases of relaparotomy (18 inhouse and 10 referred cases) were identified. The incidence of relaparotomy was 0.24%. Intraperitoneal hemorrhage (39.2%) was commonest indication of reoperations followed by PPH (17.8%), rectus sheath hematoma (14.8%) and burst abdomen (10.7%). Obstructed labor (32.1%) was commonest indication of primary cesarean. Hysterectomy was required in 8 cases (25.7%), evacuation of blood for hemoperitoneum was required in another 8 cases. Most cases of hemorrhage were reopened within 24 hours, whereas most case of the rectus sheath hematoma, burst abdomen, and broad ligament hematoma were reopened between 5-9 days.Conclusions: Relaparotomy is often a lifesaving procedure. Decision to perform and manage relaparotomy should always be done by senior obstetricians. Meticulous surgical techniques to secure hemostasis at time of primary surgery should be adopted. Strict postoperative vigilance, is of utmost importance for early detection of intraperitoneal hemorrhage and other complications requiring relaparotomy as timely intervention.

Achillea millefolium L. as a Recommendation for the Management of Hysteria
Authors: Zakeri Somayeh
Published: April 2020

Hysteria is an intricate disorder which the exact reason has not yet been determined. Sensory-motor symptoms such as falling down, aphonia and jerky movements are common and similar to seizure-like disorders, except that the patient remembers everything after waking up. Non-organic reasons are the most prominent explanations for this situation. Many treatments are offered for hysteria but patients still wander between psychiatrists and neurologists and suffer therapeutic failures, relapses and burden of disease. Persian medicine as an old medical school has clear definitions about the physiopathology and experienced therapeutic suggestions for hysteria. Since this situation can influence patient quality of life, it is worthwhile to find a solution for this debilitative disorder.
A Review of the Gut-Uterine Axis in Persian Medicine Literature: Implications in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Persian medicine (PM) takes a holistic approach towards diagnosis and management of disease states, focusing on the connections between body systems and organs. Menstrual disorders are of utmost importance in women, as they may lead to dysfunctions in other body systems. Deeming a mutual relationship between the gastrointestinal and female reproductive systems, PM physicians believed in a gut-uterine axis to exist. Ehtebas-e Tams (ET), meaning menstrual retention, is not an exception, being accompanied by gastrointestinal morbidities including digestive disorders, nausea, heartburn, food craving and pica, reduced appetite, abdominal pain, and bloody diarrhea. Considering polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) as an instance of ET, we searched studies to investigate these correlations. While a number of the mentioned ET symptoms were confirmed by contemporary studies, others had not been investigated widely and are yet to be elucidated. Conducting studies to clarify such correlations has implications in improved diagnosis and novel modes of treatment.

Spleen is one of the main components of reticuloendothelial system and plays an important role in controlling of red blood cell quality with elimination of old and damaged cells. Physicians of Traditional Persian Medicine believed that spleen has a high incorporation with the liver, and liver has a main role in blood production. So its pathologic changes influence the production of hematologic elements in both aspects of amount and quality. In this study, chapters related to spleen disease in several Traditional Persian Medicine textbooks and available databases were reviewed. Further the relationship between anemia and spleen diseases were derived and evaluated. After interviewing two experts about the findings and reaching data saturation, the results were compiled and explained. Spleen dysfunction and diseases can lead to anemia, because of intercommunity with liver. This happens with different mechanisms such as: enlargement, cold distemperment, asthenia and crisis. Although there are many studies so far about anemia, but role of the spleen in the development of anemia is still not well known. Considering the role of the spleen in developing anemia, the drugs used in Persian medicine for spleen-originated anemia may provide an appropriate solution to treat the disease.

Objetivo: evaluar la precisión diagnóstica de la espectroscopia de impedancia eléctrica para la detección de lesiones intraepiteliales del cuello uterino.Metodología: estudio de validez diagnóstica ensamblado sobre un estudio de corte transversal. Se evaluaron 285 pacientes de las cuales se seleccionaron 118 no menopáusicas que presentaron citología anormal, sin biopsias o tratamientos previos del cuello uterino. Fueron obtenidas curvas de magnitud de resistividad (Ω-m) contra frecuencia (kHz) las cuales permiten diferenciar tipos de tejidos y grados de lesión y las curvas de operación característica del receptor (COR).Resultados: de los parámetros obtenidos se encontró que la resistividad del líquido extracelular R es la que mejor discrimina entre epitelios escamosos sanos y aquellos afectados por lesiones tipo NIC 1 y NIC 2 - 3. El valor promedio de R para tejido escamoso sano fue de 24,31 Ω-m, desviación estándar 11,26, coeficiente de variación 46,3%; para tejidos con lesiones tipo NIC 1 el valor promedio fue de 9,76 Ω-m, desviación estándar 6,52, coeficiente de variación 66,8%; y para tejidos con lesiones tipo NIC 2 - 3, el valor promedio fue 6,12 Ω-m, desviación estándar 4,32, coeficiente de variación 70,6%. También fueron obtenidas curvas de magnitud de resistividad (Ω-m) contra frecuencia (kHz), las cuales permiten diferenciar tipos de tejidos y grados de lesión. La precisión de esta técnica diagnóstica fue medida utilizando curvas de operación característica del receptor (COR) con las cuales se diferencia el tejido escamoso normal y NIC 1 con sensibilidad del 79,3% y especificidad del 79,1%. Entre epitelio escamoso normal y NIC 2 - 3 con sensibilidad del 88,4% y especificidad del 87,1%. Entre NIC 1 y NIC 2 - 3 con sensibilidad y especificidad de 63,8 y 63,6% respectivamente.

Objetivo: describir las características sociodemográficas y de salud de las pacientes con cáncer invasor de cuello uterino atendidas en el Hospital Universitario San Vicente de Paúl (HUSVP) de Medellín, Colombia, durante el período 1997-2002.Población: toda la cohorte de pacientes con diagnóstico confirmado de cáncer invasor de cuello uterino durante el período 1997-2002 en el HUSVP. Diseño: cohorte retrospectiva.Resultados: se atendieron 735 pacientes provenientes de 11 departamentos de Colombia, principalmente de Antioquia, Chocó y Córdoba. El 20,6% de las pacientes no tenía ningún grado de escolaridad y la mayoría era de estratos bajos. El 24,5% de las pacientes nunca se realizó citología y solo el 20% de los casos se diagnosticó en estadio I. El comportamiento clínico de la enfermedad fue similar a lo descrito en la literatura.Conclusiones: en la cohorte de pacientes estudiada se evidenció un alto nivel de pobreza, bajos niveles de escolaridad, pobre cobertura de la citología cervicovaginal y un predominio notable de los estadiostardíos de la enfermedad. Aunque el HUSVP es un centro que atiende personas de bajos recursos, este panorama debe llamar la atención acerca de una enfermedad tan catastrófica que se puede y se debe prevenir.
