Motor Neuron Disease and Delicate Anesthesia Choices – Anesthesia for Motor Neuron Disease Patients
Authors: Wenqiao Yang Wendy
Published: October 2023

Motor neuron diseases (MNDs), two major types of which are amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), are caused by upper and/or lower motor neuron degeneration and death. They manifest with progressive skeletal muscle atrophy. Most ALS cases are idiopathic, whereas the cause of SMA is genetic. There is no cure for MNDs and anesthetic management is challenging due to patients’ respiratory dysfunction, abnormal response to muscle relaxants, and high risk of aspiration. General guidelines for this purpose state that intravenous administration of propofol and remifentanil are preferred. Muscle relaxants should be used sparingly due to their causing ventilatory depression, and depolarizing neuromuscular blockers should be avoided entirely for patients’ risk of hyperkalemia. This chapter discusses the etiology of MNDs, their clinical features, disease prognosis, palliative treatments, necessary surgical procedures, and preoperative and postoperative anesthetic management. It covers ALS, SMA, and other less common MNDs.

Authors: Rahimi Petrudi Nima , Abdollahi Mostafa , Mirzaii-Dizgah Iraj
Published: October 2023

Context: Several reports have been presented regarding the occurrence of acute myocardial infarction following vaccination against COVID-19. Objectives: The current systemic review tried to review and summarize the published evidence and documents regarding the occurrence of myocardial infarction following various types of anti-COVID-19 vaccines (AstraZeneca and Pfizer) and, finally, take steps to clarify the causes of such incidents. Methods: The relevant databases, including Medline, Web of Knowledge, Google Scholar, Scopus, and Cochrane, were comprehensively searched by the two blinded researchers for all eligible studies based on the considered keywords. Of 76 articles initially collected by database searching, 20 articles were included in the last analysis. Results: The occurrence of acute myocardial infarction was mostly related to SARS-CoV-2-based messenger RNA and viral vector vaccines. This cardiac attack occurred after the first vaccination in 74% of patients affected. The time of occurrence of myocardial infarction was also very different between different types of vaccines and varied between 15 minutes and 21 days after vaccination. Most of the myocardial infarctions that occurred after vaccination were of the ST-segment elevation type (STEMI) (23 of 28 patients). More than two-thirds of myocardial infarction cases occurred in patients who had significant cardiovascular risk profiles (hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and ischemic heart disease). Overall, 22.2% of cases suffering post-vaccination myocardial infarction died within hospitalization. Conclusions: The occurrence of myocardial infarction following the vaccination against COVID-19 is rare, and due to the fatality of this event, it is necessary to modify the biotechnological production of existing vaccines and to accurately evaluate the pathophysiology of this event.

Published: October 2023

On December 7, 2022, former President Pedro Castillo announced the temporary closure of Congress, without the support of the armed forces, institutions, or citizens, resulting in a presidential vacancy due to “permanent moral incapacity” and his arrest. Part of the population considers that the vacancy and the arrest of the former president were not carried out following due process, which exacerbates the mood, producing demonstrations that translate into road blockades, burning of institutional premises among other disturbances; with a balance of more than 60 deaths. This article aims to make an approach to understand why there are greater conflicts in the Puno region than in the rest of the country and to what extent these social conflicts and road blockages are related to the fact of the presence of the Aymara culture, historical factors, HDI or even to external or external factors. sector interests. For this purpose, the qualitative approach of documentary design and official data was used for the analysis; determining the relationship between the factors indicated with the highest concentration of protests. This approach is part of the ongoing research regarding social conflicts in Puno.

Digital activity impacts multiple aspects of contemporary society, including the economy, government, and education. Furthermore, taking into account the complexity of online activities and the development of the digital society, Digital Citizenship should be considered a scale that encompasses various levels of digital participation and skills. Therefore, it is necessary to have adequate methods to evaluate and optimally monitor this dimension based on people's online activity. The article focuses on the definition and construction of a Digital Activity Index (InAD) in Peru with the objective of identifying patterns in access (incidence) and use (intensity) of the Internet that represent opportunities to improve the digital profile in Peru. The study uses the Alkire-Foster methodology to create the InAD Peru based on data from the National Household Survey (ENAHO) from 2015 to 2023. The results of the InAD Peru show a constant increase in digital activity. However, this is mainly explained by greater connectivity and it is highlighted that not all digital activities are carried out in the same proportion. Results are also providedby region, allowing you to identify areas with specific needs. In conclusion, it is relevant to measure and understand digital citizenship in Peru through a more complete approach such as with the InAD. It is hoped that InAD can help promote a stronger digital profile in Peruvian society and potentially serve as a model for other countries.

Authors: Medina Romero Miguel Ángel
Published: October 2023

In contemporary times, numerous countries have achieved notable advancements in the pursuit of fostering inclusivity within educational institutions. Nevertheless, there exist certain constraints that remain unresolved and necessitate assessment from the standpoint of inclusive education. The primary aim of this study was to investigate the obstacles to inclusive education as perceived by teachers in Mexico. The research employed a qualitative methodology and utilised an immersive story design. Data were collected from a sample of 59 instructors working in six public educational institutions in Mexico, using the narrative inquiry method and the focus group methodology. The findings have revealed five distinct obstacles that impede the implementation of inclusive education: the integration of the educational community, students' educational attainment, inadequate preparation and skills for inclusive education, resistance to diversity, and challenges in educational transitions. In order to ensure the comprehensive inclusion of kids, it is imperative for educators to cultivate a heightened understanding of the unique capabilities of each individual student.

Commentary on Revisions to the Ethical and Religious Directives, Part Four
Authors: Ecret DiAnn , Winsor Tracy , Zalot Jozef D. ,   The National Catholic Bioethics Center
Published: October 2023

We suggest edits to Part Four of the Ethical and Religious Directives (ERDs) to help the US bishops address and clarify essential Church teachings on specific beginning-of-life issues facing Catholic health care today. As a teaching tool, Part Four must be updated so that Catholic health care professionals and the lay faithful can understand and apply Church teachings to new ethical challenges. Further, more direction and clarity from the ERDs is needed in applying general principles to assisted procreative technologies, pre- and post-viability induction of labor, ectopic pregnancies, genetic screening and diagnosis, and contraception. Catholic health care clinicians and administrators also need to receive ongoing instruction on the ERDs’ teachings as well as the theological and philosophical rationales that undergird them.
Narrative for Part Five of the Ethical and Religious Directives
Authors: Furton Edward James ,   The National Catholic Bioethics Center
Published: October 2023

Part Five is in considerable need of revision. There have been many developments in medicine and health care that present serious moral challenges to the teachings of the Church. The recommendations below include new emphasis on palliative care and hospice, the right of Catholics to receive the sacraments and visits from the family during illness, further safeguards to protect those in a persistent vegetative state, the immorality of voluntary stopping of eating and drinking (VSED), the permissibility of do not resuscitate (DNR) orders, the limited use of palliative sedation, and the requirement that the standards for determining death be rigorously applied by medical professionals. Other minor recommendations seek to bring greater clarity to the existing directives.
Reconstructing The Interpretation of Conspiracy in The Prosecution of Corruption Crimes to Achieve Legal Certainty
Authors: Siregar Denny , Mustofa Muhammad , Mulyadi Lilik
Published: October 2023

This study aims to examine and analyze the synchronization of the meaning of evil conspiracies in corruption crimes, as well as find a reconstruction of the meaning of evil conspiracies in the punishment of corruption crimes to realize legal certainty. The research method used is normative juridical with an analytical approach research approach, with a specification of analytical descriptions that describe generally accepted laws and regulations associated with legal theories and principles and implementation practices. Using the Grand Theory, Middle Range Theory, and Applied Theory in exploring and analyzing to find answers to research problems. The results showed that the implementation of the meaning of evil conspiracies in corruption was formulated differently between the Criminal Code and the Tipikor Law. In the case of corruption, evil conspiracies cannot be imposed the same criminal sanctions as perpetrators of corruption who have finished committing their crimes as stipulated in Article 2, Article 3, Article 5 to Article 14 of the Tipikor Law. Referring to the elements of Article 88 of the Criminal Code, in the event that the intention to commit a crime or agreement is not necessarily carried out in the form of concrete acts, then in an evil agreement there is only an intention by holding an evil consensus, there is absolutely no act of implementation. This has an impact on legal uncertainty in the basis for prosecuting perpetrators of corruption crimes because juridically there is no firm regulation. The reconstruction of the meaning of evil conspiracies in the punishment of criminal acts is that evil conspiracies are considered as stand-alone offenses, meaning that people who have committed evil conspiracies are considered to have committed criminal acts. Criminal law policy in combating corruption is explicitly stated by the qualification of offenses, as well as providing juridical understanding or limitations regarding evil conspiracies and then equating the perception of criminal policy between the Criminal Code and the Tipikor Law. This is in accordance with the principle of legality which requires that criminal law be determined in advance through laws and regulations and is detailed and careful. As for the researcher's suggestion, namely to the Government and the DPR, it is necessary to issue a special regulation containing guidelines for the implementation of the provisions of malicious consensus offenses. The guideline contains an explanation of the meaning of evil conspiracy, its elements, categories of criminal acts that can be punished with evil conspiracy, to simulated cases related to evil conspiracy's offenses

Perceptions and experiences of community-networks that facilitate engagement in health research: Ifakara Health Institute-Bagamoyo case-study
Authors:   , Bategereza Leah
Published: October 2023

Involvement of communities in the field of health research collectively known as community engagement is considered as ethical conduct of research. At the Ifakara Health Research Institute (IHI) in Bagamoyo, Tanzania, nothing has been documented on how the engagement is being done and what community structures/networks are involved in the facilitation of engagement activities, and what are the systematic functioning of these structures since the formulation of community advisory board (CAB) in 2007. In this study six focus group discussions (FGDs) and 19 in-depth interviews (IDIs) among respondents participated in IHI research for the past five years were performed. Furthermore, focus groups and in-depths interview were audiotaped, transcribed, and analyzed using framework analysis techniques. This study found that; engagement was more likely being influenced by the type of research project and kind of participants needed, different community networks such as village executive officers, community health workers, hamlet leaders, and community advisory boards were the key stakeholders and; community-level public meetings, household visitation and informationgiving sessions at the health facilities were the main approaches used during engagement processes. However, it was found that they did not reach most of the target people due to limited levels of interaction with potential participants, there are no central coordination of the engagement activities at the Institute, different research projects at the same Institute have been approaching these structures separately, little engagement, misunderstanding of the research objectives have been reported in contributing to the participants dropout. This study recommends that there is a need of developing a community engagement unit that would work across projects to support engagement with the community.
Assessment of environmental enteric dysfunction (eed) in Healthy and undernourished children-a crosstalk between eed and stunting
Authors:   , Modern Grantina
Published: October 2023

Undernutrition affects 20% of children under five in the developing world. Stunting is a prevalent form of undernutrition. Global prevalence of stunting in 2019 was 21.4%, while current Tanzania national average is 34%. Ruvuma is one of the regions with highest prevalence of stunting (44%) in Tanzania. This dissertation involved studies on factors responsible for the high prevalence of stunting in Ruvuma and their association with environmental enteric dysfunction (EED) in children. The study included randomly and conveniently sampled children below 5 years of age between April 2019 – January 2020 who attended outpatient clinics at hospitals in Ruvuma. Among children in the cross-sectional survey, 46% were females and 45.6% were stunted, while the case-control study had 42% females, 78% stunted cases, and EED prevalence of 57%. Through bivariate analysis, stunting was associated with gender (χ2 = 6.6759, df = 1, p = 0.009772), hand washing before food (χ2 = 5.1213, df = 1, p = 0.02363), location of hospital (χ2 = 3.851, df = 1, p = 0.04972) and use of Municipal garbage collection system (χ2 = 3.6814, df = 1, p = 0.05502). Moreover, diarrhea was associated with toilet sharing (χ2 = 5.4703, df = 1, p = 0.002), use of household’s toilet (χ2 = 4.0224, df = 1, p = 0.004) and rinsing child feces into toilet (χ2 = 3.6814, df = 1, p < 0.01). Multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that, stunting risk increased with male gender (OR (95%CI) = 1.7945 (1.1944 –2.712), age (OR (95%CI) = 1.3122 (1.1484 –1.507), and decreased with hand washing before meal (OR (95%CI) = 0.5403 (0.3042 –0.940). Finally, diarrhea risk increased with toilet sharing (OR (95%CI) = 2.154 (1.153 –3.953) and decreased with child’s use of toilet (OR (95%CI) = 0.510 (0.259 –0.945). Our study generally revealed important factors that determined observed high prevalence of stunting in Ruvuma. These factors can be modified through health interventions to reduce the observed high prevalence. Nevertheless, the association between EED and stunting is undeniable and needs further assessment in a bigger study.

Wearable technologies have made it easy for coaches to provide feedback by providing information about instant performance monitoring of athletes. In this section, a literature review has been made about the technologies used in football. The proposition "Football, which has become a giant industry since the beginning of the 21st century, is obliged to use technology in order to maintain its economic value" has been tried to be explained.
Disentangling the Histories of Science and Religion
Authors: Ungureanu James
Published: October 2023

In this review essay, I examine in detail Nick Spencer’s recent book, Magisteria: The Entangled Histories of Science and Religion (2023). While there is much to commend in Spencer’s narrative, there are some glaring omissions. These omissions can lead the reader to assess the “entangled” relationship between science and religion incorrectly, despite Spencer’s promotion of a complexity thesis. This essay endeavours to disentangle the “entangled histories of science and religion.” It also seeks to correct the still-common view that the “conflict” between “science and religion” first emerged during the nineteenth century. It did not. In fact, the conflict between science and religion has a long history of contending theological traditions. In short, to understand the entangled histories of science and religion one must be aware of the complex history of theological thought.
Existence and decay of solutions to coupled systems of nonlinear wave equations with variable exponents
Authors: Bouhoufani Oulia , Messaoudi Salim A. , Zahri Mostafa
Published: October 2023

In this article, we consider a coupled system of two hyperbolic equations with variable exponents in the damping and source terms, where the dampings are modilated with time-dependent coefficients \(\alpha(t), \beta(t)\). First, we state and prove an existence result of a global weak solution, using Galerkin's method with compactness arguments. Then, by a Lemma due to Martinez, we establish the decay rates of the solution energy, under suitable assumptions on the variable exponents \(m\) and \(r\) and the coefficients \( \alpha\) and \(\beta\). To illustrate our theoretical results, we give some numerical examples.

Their development should be preceded by a diagnosis of the state of socio-economic development, and implementation subject to continuous monitoring. Making current decisions by local governments should also be held after the analysis of data about issues that are the subject of decision-making. The growing role of self-governments in policy development leads to an increase in demand for regional statistics data. The article attempts to identify possible use of regional statistics and information to determine deficiencies in this regard.

Was the Umbaran Starfighter from Clone Wars inspired by an Apatosaurus vertebra?
Authors: Wedel Matt
Published: October 2023

 Update, January 21, 2013:  YES, it was! Scroll down for links to the entire saga. Because it’s doing a hell of an impression of one, if not. It’s got the huge cervical rib loops (wings), bifurcated neural spine (top fins), and even a condyle on the front of the centrum (cockpit pod). About all it’s missing are the zygapophyses and the cervical ribs themselves.

Neural spine bifurcation in sauropods, Part 6: more reasons why Haplocanthosaurus is not a juvenile of a known diplodocid
Authors: Taylor Mike
Published: October 2023

Last time, we saw why  Haplocanthosaurus  couldn’t be a juvenile of  Apatosaurus  or  Diplodocus  , based on osteology alone.  But there’s more:  Ontogenetic status of  Haplocanthosaurus   Here is where is gets really surreal.  Woodruff and Fowler (2012) blithely assume that  Haplocanthosaurus  is a juvenile of something, but the type specimen of the type species —  H  .

Do not moderate comments on your blog
Authors: Taylor Mike
Published: October 2023

When you start a blog, the natural thing is to want to feel that you’re in control of it, and that means controlling what can be posted there.  But that’s a mistake.  Moderation means that people can’t see their own comments, which is alienating; but more importantly, it means other people can’t see them, which in turn means that all discussion grinds to a halt until such time as you happen to moderate.
Four Short Pieces: forging onward into the Shiny Digital Future
Authors: Taylor Mike
Published: October 2023

Four things: 1. From the start of 2013, the Royal Society is abandoning issues for its journals (  Proc. B  ,  Phil. Trans.  ,  Biology Letters  and more) and moving to a continuing publishing model — as already used for their open-access journal  Open Biology  . Excellent news: in a post-print world, issues achieve nothing but the imposition of arbitrary delays.

I wrote yesterday that Open Access had been the front-page story in the  Guardian  .  Thanks to Mark Wainwright of the Open Knowledge Foundation, I now have photos of both the front cover and the double-page inside spread: For anyone who doesn’t know, the  Guardian  is one of the four “broadsheets” or “qualities” among Britain’s national daily newspapers.
Neural spine bifurcation in sauropods, Part 3: the evidence from ontogenetic series
Authors: Wedel Matt
Published: October 2023

This is the third post in a series on neural spine bifurcation in sauropods, inspired by Woodruff and Fowler (2012). In the first post, I looked at neural spine bifurcation in Morrison sauropod genera based on the classic monographic descriptions. In the second post, I showed that size is an unreliable criterion for assessing age and that serial variation can mimic ontogenetic change in sauropod cervicals.
Component Based Finite Element Method for Steel Joints at Ambient and Elevated Temperatures
Authors: Wald František , Vild Martin , Kabeláč Jaroslav , Der Batuhan
Published: October 2023

This paper introduces Component Based Finite Element Model (CBFEM) which is a numerical design model to analyze and design connections of steel structures with features demonstrated here on a portal frame eaves bolted connection. The connection in CBFEM procedure is analyzed by Finite Element Method FEM. The correct behavior of components is treated by introducing components that well represent its behavior in terms of initial stiffness, ultimate strength and deformation capacity, of bolts, welds etc. As for another FEM design procedures a special care is given to the validation and verification procedures which is demonstrated here in this contribution on example of portal frame eaves welded connection. In this paper, CBFEM is applied to analyze steel beams and columns also at elevated temperature. The main objective of this study is to verify the CBFEM for predicting the resistance of steel members and connections at elevated temperatures.
