Brugada syndrome is one of the syndromes associated with the risk of sudden non-coronary death at a young age. However, the prevalence of this syndrome and its clinical manifestations are underestimated due to low detectability. This article presents a clinical case of the diagnosis of Brugada syndrome with the installation of a cardioverter-defibrillator in the practice of a cardiologist and a brief literature review of this syndrome.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic disease that causes inflammatory synovitis. The treatment plan of RA includes reducing inflammation and improving the quality of life. Hence, understanding the role of Adenosine deaminase (ADA) and C-reactive protein helps for a better plan of treatment. The present study was undertaken to determine the serum ADA activity and CRP in RA patients and correlate with the severity of the progression of the disease. 25 patients diagnosed with RA as per 2010 ACR/EULAR criteria and 25 age and sex matched healthy controls were included in the study after informed consent. Blood samples were collected from all the subjects after an overnight fast, serum separated was analyzed immediately for Adenosine deaminase(ADA) activity measured using colorimetric method of Guisti and Galanti. Disease score, C-reactive protein, RA factor, ADA and ESR were significantly higher in cases when compared with controls. Significant positive correlation was present between the disease score and C-reactive protein, RA factor among cases. A positive correlation was observed between the disease score and ADA, but it was not statistically significant among cases.
Nutrient intakes and adequacy among preschool children under blockade in Gaza City, Palestine
Authors: Radi Samir
Published: May 2021

Background: After 13 years of blockade and closure, malnutrition has become a significant risk to the health of Gaza’s youngest residents. According to recent national surveys, Palestinians are facing a double burden of malnutrition and very low levels of essential minerals and vitamins. Aims: The aims of this study were to assess nutrient intake adequacy among preschool children and to estimate the dietary and nutrient intake deficiency in the Gaza Strip. Methods: This cross-sectional, community-based, household survey was carried out in Gaza using 24-hour dietary recall to assess nutrient intake and adequacy among 176 children aged 2–5 years. Results: Based on the nutrient deficiency for dietary intake [< 75% recommended dietary allowance (RDA)], energy shows the highest level of deficiency (89.8%) in the diet among the studied children followed by vitamin A intake (86.9%). About three quarters (73.3%) of the children studied consumed less than the RDA for calcium and 47.2% consumed less than the RDA for iron. Approximately 20% of the children consumed less than the RDA level of dietary intake for carbohydrate and 17% for zinc. Conclusion: Nutrient intake among preschoolers in the Gaza Strip shows a dramatic deterioration in macro- and micronutrient deficiency, especially in rural areas. Although the findings in this study are in line with previous reports, it revealed greater deterioration than previous local studies.
Khat use and perceived health problems among African migrants in Australia: an exploratory study
Authors: Cumming Craig , Butt Julia , Hersi Abdi , Tohow Ahmed , Young Jesse
Published: May 2021

Background: The chronic use of khat, a plant with psychostimulant properties, has been associated with physical and mental health problems. Previous research found that non-khat users were more likely than khat users to perceive its use to be associated with poor health. Aims: We aimed to identify differences in the perception of specific khat-associated health problems between khat users and non-users. Methods: In 2012, 133 adults (≥ 18 years) from African migrant communities in 4 state capital cities in Australia completed questionnaires to ascertain their perception of whether specific health problems were associated with khat use. Multivariable log-linked Poisson regression was used to compare the perceptions of the 2 groups and identify differences, adjusting for sociodemographic factors, tobacco use and years living in Australia. Results: Overall, 58 (44%) and 75 (56%) participants reported current khat use and no use respectively. Adjusted log-linked Poisson regression showed that people who use khat were less likely than non-users to perceive certain health and related problems were associated with khat use, including, poor health in general [prevalence risk ratio (PRR) = 0.86; 95% CI: 0.75, 1.00]; laziness (PRR = 0.86; 95% CI: 0.75, 0.99); stomach and throat problems (PRR = 0.83; 95% CI: 0.72, 0.96); and teeth, gum and mouth problems (PRR = 0.81; 95% CI: 0.67, 0.99). Conclusions: Khat users are less likely to perceive use being associated with health problems than non-users. Providing information on the health problems associated with khat use may be an important component of health promotion strategies and interventions aimed at minimising khat-related harm.
Perspective of blockchain technology application in corporate governance: Recent trands
Authors: Yukhno A. S.
Published: May 2021

The subject of the present paper is the perspective of blockchain technology application based on the experience of the Russian and foreign companies, ﬁnancial institutions, and public authorities. The purpose of the article is to study trends, identify areas of application, and analyze the risks and beneﬁts of blockchain technology application in corporate governance. The author used the methods of generalization, synthesis, comparative analysis of the approaches applied to determine the role played by blockchain in corporate governance, studied appropriate recent scientiﬁc publications, and also conducted the comparative analysis of the corporate governance goals and key characteristics of the above technology. The author has exhaustively analyzed the prospects of blockchain technology implementation in corporate governance taking into account the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, which forms the novelty of the present paper. The author proposes to follow the below recommendations pertaining to certain issues of implementing blockchain technology into entity’s operations: to include the issue of suitability of blockchain technology integration into the entity’s operations in the meeting of the Board of Directors’ agenda, develop and approve at the Board level in-house documents to regulate the technology application within the entity as well as the strategy of its using to be followed by its integration into the entity’s general business strategy, approve the entity’s risk-appetite to use the technology within the frameworks of the overall entity’s risk management strategy, analyze the impact it may cause on the entity’s activities at the Board level and also ensure improving the employees’ training and competencies with respect to using blockchain technology. The author concludes that nowadays blockchain technology will be most intensively used in areas where it is a more effective alternative to existing systems in their current state. The conclusions and results obtained may be used in the course of developing Russian corporate governance practice as well as in the analytical and practical work performed by the public authorities and the business community.
Mimowolna sylwa. O książce Anny Kaszuby-Dębskiej „Bruno. Epoka genialna”
Authors: Romanowski Marcin
Published: May 2021

The article offers a critical discussion of Anna Kaszuba-Dębska’s book Bruno. Epoka genialna [Bruno. The Age of Genius]. The reviewer argues that the main feature of Kaszuba-Dębska narrative is its heterogeneity; it manifests itself through the renouncement of the authorial voice, which it replaced by a dense tissue of quotations, as well as through the extensive discussion of cultural contexts and the lack of a consistently outlined dominant theme organizing the course of the protagonist’s life. For this reason, the reviewer regards Kaszuba-Dębska’s publication as a text reminiscent of a silva rerum (cf. commonplace book), whose heterogeneity, however, seems to stem from the author’s lack of control over her material, rather than from an attempt to cross the borders of the biographical genre.
