Effective treatment of diabetes mellitus and autoimmune diseases by resonance medicine
Authors: Praznikov Victor
Published: July 2022

Diseases - diabetes mellitus (especially type 1) and autoimmune diseases are incurable diseases. In type 1 diabetes, the beta cells of the tail of the pancreas die. It is in the beta cells of the tail of the pancreas that insulin is located, a hormone that maintains normal blood sugar levels in patients with type 1 diabetes. Until now, no methods have been known to restore dead pancreatic beta cells. Methods for restoring the lymphoid system in patients with autoimmune diseases were not known. With these diseases, the normal properties of the lymphoid system are lost. This review aims to present materials on the effective treatment (cure) of these diseases. For the treatment, the resonance therapy method was used, which has been known for at least 25 years and which has been modified in our work since 2016. The essence of our modification was that the author began to use 1. Not only low (previously known) but also high potencies of resonant drugs. 2. We have created a direction in resonance therapy, which is called “resonance of creation.” So far, only the direction is known as “resonance of destruction” is known, with the help of which oncological tissues, infectious processes, cysts, stones, etc. are treated - destroyed. With the help of the resonance of creation, various biological structures that have undergone degeneration and death are restored - the myelin sheath of the nerves in multiple sclerosis, nerve cells in Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease, etc. With the help of the resonance of creation, the beta cells of the tail of the pancreas are restored in type 1 diabetes and restoration of the lymphoid system in autoimmune diseases. So, in patients with autoimmune diseases, organ preparations were tested: “lymph nodes”, “lymphocytes”. It turned out that in all patients with various autoimmune diseases, lymph nodes, and lymphocytes were tested as being in a degenerative state. There was not a single patient whose lymph nodes and lymphocytes were tested as normal. The task was to normalize the functional state of the lymph nodes and lymphocytes in our patients and thereby take an important step towards curing their autoimmune disease. To this end, it was necessary to increase the potency of the lymph nodes and lymphocytes in the same way as we did it in relation to the beta cells of the pancreas in patients with diabetes mellitus, in relation to the substantia nigra of the midbrain in patients with Parkinson’s disease and in relation to the myelin sheath. Nerves in multiple sclerosis. After testing organ preparations: “lymph nodes”, and “lymphocytes” in patients with autoimmune diseases, the potency was selected, which led to the fact that lymph nodes and lymphocytes were no longer tested as degenerated formations. It was this potency of lymph nodes and lymphocytes that was the basis for the treatment of patients. Thus, as a result of the treatment of diabetes mellitus (especially type 1) and autoimmune diseases by resonance therapy, these diseases become curable.
The combined efficacy of neem (Azardirachta indica) seed oil and orange (Citrus sinensis) peel oil cream as a mosquito repellent
Authors: Godfred Yaw Boanyah  , Ruth Carre Brenyah
Published: July 2022

Essential oils obtained from certain plants have repellent potency against insects such as mosquitoes. Most repellents on the market have the synthetic formulation of N, N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide (DEET) as the main active ingredient. This study is an attempt to contribute to the search for an effective plant-extracted essential oil, Neem and Orange as alternative to DEET. The oil from Citrus sinensis (sweet orange) peels was extracted by steam distillation and that for Azadirachta indica (Neem) seed by Soxhlet extraction respectively. Creams were formulated at four concentrations of 5%, 15%, 25% and 30% v/w respectively for Neem, Orange peel and combined Neem-Orange oils, after which laboratory reared mosquitoes were used to assess the efficacy of each of the concentrations. A DEET-based cream of 13% concentration was used as the standard. Wild mosquito larvae were brought to the laboratory from which the adults female after mating were given a blood meal. Second generation mosquitoes were used for the arm in cage test (AIC). The combined Neem and Orange-based cream at 30% was as effective as the DEET-based repellent which recorded the highest repellent time, followed by Neem cream and the Orange peel based cream recorded the least repellent time even at 30% concentration. The statistically significant difference at 30% between DEET and Orange peel, Neem, and combined Neem-Orange creams were 0.030, 0 .499 and 0.195, respectively. This study suggests that the combined Neem and Orange Peel Oil can be used to produce repellent creams due to their synergistic potency and good smell.

Published: July 2022

We present a case of a 37-year-old woman who was referred to the Endocrinology Department of the State Institute for Diabetes and Endocrinology Luiz Capriglione, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, with persistent hypothyroidism following a total thyroidectomy for multinodular goiter 6 months before the appointment. After the surgery, the patient was prescribed levothyroxine 100μg/day. Initial blood tests showed increased thyroid stimulating hormone and normal free thyroxine levels. Over the next 2 years, in spite of the patient’s adherence to the treatment and progressive increments in levothyroxine doses, thyroid stimulating hormone levels remained elevated and she developed clinical hypothyroidism. She was then admitted to the hospital for clinical and hormonal stabilization. Upon further investigation, the patient informed that at the beginning of her levothyroxine treatment, she was instructed to store the drug in the refrigerator, at 4°C. Seven days after impatient treatment, thyroid stimulating hormone levels returned to normal and the subject was asymptomatic. After discharge, she was instructed to store the medication properly, at room temperature, and away from heat and light. Two years after discharge, she was still euthyroid and asymptomatic.

Covid-19 pandemic dramatically affected soccer. Many competitions played without an audience in the 2019/2020 season. The aim of this study was to analyze Points (P), Goals Forward (GF), and Goals Away (GA) per game in Turkish Super League (TSL), Premier League, Bundesliga, La Liga, and Serie A before (BP) and After Pandemic restrictions (AP) during the 2019/2020 season separately and together. The tables of five leagues were separated into two terms as BP and AP, and P, GF, and GA were calculated for each period. Average P, GF, and GA per game were statistically compared. Paired samples t-test and paired samples correlations were used for statistical analysis. The obtained results showed that home P and GA increased AP in TSL without statistical significance. In parallel, home P and GF increased AP in Premier League and La Liga and showed significant correlations (p<0.05). In contrast, in Bundesliga and La Liga, home P and GF decreased AP with significant correlation (p<0.05). In La Liga, away GA significantly decreased AP (p=0.010148*). When all results of all teams (n=98) were compared together, home P (r=0.4371; p=0.000007***) and GA decreased AP and showed significant correlations. Furthermore, away P (r=0.386661; p=0.000084***) and GF (r=0.505488; p=0.000001***) increased with significant correlation. These results showed that the Covid-19 pandemic dissimilarly affected different leagues. However, overall results showed that home performances decreased and away results increased AP.

Authors: Saito Kazuki , Ishikawa Tomonori , Onose Moeko , Ibi Rinko , Tatsumi Kenichi , Miyasaka Naoyuki
Published: July 2022

Background: Submucosal myoma is a common gynecological disease that causes menorrhagia and infertility. While hysteroscopic surgery is a minimally invasive and effective method for treating submucosal myomas, its feasibility depends on the size and location of the myomas. Conversely, abdominal procedures enable enucleation of submucosal myomas and preservation of endometrial integrity, but are accompanied by technical difficulties. Herein we report the case of an infertile woman with a submucosal and an intramural myoma who underwent laparoscopic myomectomy using laparoscopic ultrasonography. Case: The patient was a 36-year-old infertile woman. Transvaginal ultrasonography revealed a 15 mm submucosal myoma with a 60% myometrial extension in the anterior uterine wall and a 49 mm intramural myoma in the posterior wall. During myomectomy, the submucosal myoma was not apparent from the external side of the uterus; therefore, laparoscopic ultrasonography was used to detect it. Under ultrasonography, vasopressin was injected between the myoma and the myometrium, thereby separating the layers. Consequently, we were able to resect both myomas without breaching the endometrium. Conclusions: The present case demonstrates the effectiveness of laparoscopic ultrasonography for detecting submucosal myomas and ensuring injection of vasopressin into the proper layer. These advantages allow surgeons to preserve endometrial integrity during laparoscopic myomectomy.

Dental therapists encounter patients with various systemic diseases of which cardiovascular disease (CVD) patients form a significant segment. Relation between oral health and cardiac diseases has been well established. Common cardiac disorders encountered in a dental practice include arterial hypertension, heart failure, ischemic heart disease, cardiac arrhythmias, infective endocarditis, stroke, and cardiac pacemaker. Patients with CVDs pose a significant challenge to dental therapy. These patients need special considerations and an adequate understanding of the underlying cardiovascular condition to provide safe and effective dental treatment. Based on the cardiac condition, an appropriate modification in dental care is crucial. A multidisciplinary approach including the patient’s cardiologist can potentially reduce complications and improve dental treatment results. This review aims at unfolding the risks associated with the dental management of a cardiac patient and outlines the measures to be undertaken for optimum dental treatment.

Authors: Yu Juemin , Liufu Rong , Wang Ximeng , Liu Xiaobing , Zhuang Jian
Published: July 2022

Background: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed at comparing the midterm outcomes of perventricular device closure (PDC) with conventional surgical repair (CSR) for VSD. Methods: PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases were searched from January 1, 2005, to October 15, 2020, for English or Chinese language studies comparing outcomes of PDC with CSR for VSD. The midterm results were assessed as a primary outcome. A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed under the frequentist frame with risk ratio (RR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). Results: A total of 4381 patients (PDC = 2016, CSR = 2365) from 15 studies were included. The pooled estimates of success rate favored the CSR compared with the PDC (RR, 0.97; 95% CI, 0.96 to 0.99; p = 0.001). No significant differences in minor complications or severe complications were found between the PDC and CSR (RR, 0.79; 95% CI, 0.50 to 1.23; p = 0.29; RR, 1.43; 95% CI, 0.74 to 2.75; p = 0.29). The pooled estimates of residual shunts favored the PDC compared with the CSR (RR, 9.07; 95% CI, 4.77 to 17.24; p < 0.001), the pooled estimates of aortic regurgitation favored the CSR compared with the PDC (RR, 1.59; 95% CI, 1.05 to 2.39; p = 0.03). Conclusions: PDC is a safe and effective procedure with less surgical injury and shorter perioperative hospital stay. However, aortic regurgitation is a concern during follow-up.

Background: This study investigated the influence of volatile anesthesia (VA) on major complications and mortality in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). Methods: This post-hoc analysis included 1586 patients from the MYRIAD trial managed using the same perioperative protocol at a single institution. Patients were randomized to receive either volatile anesthesia (sevoflurane, isoflurane, or desflurane) or total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA). The assessed study outcomes were the rate of complications, including: myocardial infarction, stroke, acute kidney injury, prolonged ventilation (>24 h), receipt of high-dose inotropic support (inotropic score >10), and need for mechanical circulatory support. The duration of intensive care unit (ICU) stay, length of hospitalization, hospital readmission during follow-up, 30-days and 1-year mortality were also analyzed. Results: 1586 patients were enrolled between September 2014–September 2017 and randomly assigned to the volatile anesthesia group (n = 794) and the TIVA group (n = 792). The median patient age was 63 years, with a median ejection fraction of 60%. There were no significant differences in the rates of major complications, duration of ICU stay, and hospitalization between the groups. The median total dose of fentanyl was 12.0 mcg/kg in volatile group and 14.4 mcg/kg in TIVA group (p < 0.001). One-year mortality rates were 2.5% (n = 20) and 3.2% (n = 25) in the volatile and TIVA groups, respectively. Two patients were lost at the 30-day and 1-year follow-ups in the volatile group compared to four patients in TIVA group. Regression analysis showed that cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) duration, fentanyl dose, and baseline serum creatinine level were associated with 30-days mortality, while ejection fraction was associated with 1-year mortality. Conclusions: The use of VA in patients undergoing CABG did not result in a reduction in major complications or mortality compared with TIVA. A higher dose of fentanyl was used in the TIVA group and was associated with an increase in the 30-days mortality. These findings warrant further investigation. Clinical Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT02105610).

Introduction. Reforming general secondary education requires a change in the role of a teacher (facilitator, moderator, tutor) and requires their ability to introduce new learning technologies and developed soft skills (the ability to work in a team, solve problems and find creative solutions, etc.). Teachers often lack confidence in their abilities, fear failure, and want to postpone the plans for their professional improvement and personal growth, which is called procrastination.There fore, in order to prevent procrastination, there is a need to study the level of its manifestation in pedagogical workers and to determine the factors that effectthis phenomenon. Aim.To determine the levels of procrastination in teaching staff and to find out the relationship between them and teachers' organizational and professional characteristics (self-organization of activities, planning effectiveness, professional motivation, organizational abilities, professional burnout). Methods. To determine the level of teaching staff procrastination, we used the Degree of Procrastination questionnaire by M. Kiseleva. In order to determine teachers' organizational and professional characteristics, five questionnaires were used: O. Mandrikova Self-organization of the Activity, Efficiency of Planning,A.

Awareness of oneself and one's position in various spheres of economic relations (as a person who satisfies one's own material and consumer needs) is an urgent problem due to the changeable norms and rules of economic life in the economy under reform, especially during the war. This problem appears all the more important in adolescence, when a person, who acquires the first experience of independent economic decisions, gets a legal right to work. Aim. To investigate the peculiarities of self-knowledge in the sphere of economic relations as a key aspect of the development of adolescents' economic self-determination in the modern economy. Methods. M. Semenov's Attitude Towards Money, N. Dembytska and O. Lavrenko's questionnaire for studying peculiarities of teenagers' economic self-determination. Results. The authors found out the regularities and peculiarities of economic self-determination of teenager high-school and university students. The process of self-knowledge in economic relations among adolescents is characterized by a tendency to complicate the semantic structures of economic consciousness from early to late adolescence as well as by a tendency to form a positive property identity. Conclusions. Self-reflection and self-awareness as an economic agent in adolescence plays a central role in the successful initiation and formation of the individual's position in the consumption, employment and property relations.
Values of Cassava Tuber Peels Produced in the Farms and Home-Scale Snack Food Industries as Feed Based on Yield Rate, Crude Nutrient, and Mineral Composition
Authors: Khalil Khalil
Published: July 2022

The Payakumbuh region is an important tourist destination in West Sumatra. They produce various snack food made from cassava tubers, producing a large cassava peel as a by-product. The research aimed to study the meal yield rate, crude nutrient, fiber fraction, and mineral composition of cassava peels as by-products of cassava farm and snack food industries. Twenty cassava farms and ten snack food industries were visited, and the owners were interviewed for data on the type of cassava used, products, and handling of cassava peel. The quantity of cassava peel produced and potentially used as feed was recorded. Samples of fresh peels from three different varieties and tuber sizes were collected, weighed, dried, and ground in meal form to determine the meal yield rates and analyze for dry matter (DM) content, crude nutrient, fiber fraction, and mineral composition. Results found three cassava cultivars used to produce snack foods, i.e., black, bread, and sticky cassava. The percentage of fresh peel and meal yield rates ranged from 16.4-16.7% and 21.9-26.9%, respectively. DM and crude protein content varied between 23.8 to 27.0% and 9.3 to 11.2%, respectively. Bread cassava peels showed the highest DM, ash, and ADF content. Cassava peel contained considerably high Fe and was a good source of K, Mg, P, Na, Mn, and Zn.

Computing Method for Combinatorial Geometric Series and Binomial Expansion
Authors: Annamalai Chinnaraji
Published: July 2022

Nowadays, the growing complexity of mathematical modelling demands the simplicity of mathematical equations for solving today’s scientific problems and challenges. This paper presents combinatorial geometric series, innovative binomial coefficients, combinatorial equations, binomial expansions, calculus with combinatorial geometric series, and its relationship and theorems. Combinatorics involves integers, factorials, binomial coefficients, discrete mathematics, and theoretical computer science for finding solutions to the problems in computing and engineering science. The combinatorial geometric series with binomial expansions and its theorems refer to the methodological advances which are useful for researchers who are working in computational science. Computational science is a rapidly growing multi-and inter-disciplinary area where science, engineering, computation, mathematics, and collaboration use advance computing capabilities to understand and solve the most complex real life problems.

Retrieval-induced forgetting (RIF) experiments show that the act of retrieving some recentlyencoded items from a given conceptual category leads to greater forgetting of competing itemsfrom that same category. However, RIF studies using emotional stimuli have produced mixedresults, perhaps due to the reinstatement of arousal or negative affect during retrieval practice. Toinduce forgetting of negative episodic memories more indirectly, we examined if retrieving neutralsemantic memories leads to RIF of related negative memories. In two experiments, participantsstudied eight categorized lists comprised of an equal number of negative and neutral words(Experiment 1) or neutral words preceded by neutral or negative images (Experiment 2). To avoidre-exposing individuals to negative material during retrieval practice, participants then performeda semantic memory retrieval task in which they generated (i.e., completed word-stems for) newneutral words from half of the studied categories. We found that semantic retrieval, or wordgeneration, induced forgetting of recently studied words irrespective of their emotional valence ororiginal emotional context. Additionally, across both experiments, less successful word generationwas associated with stronger RIF effects. In Experiment 2, the magnitude of RIF was alsocorrelated with higher subjective ratings of retrieval effort during word generation. Together, theseresults suggest that even when retrieving neutral semantic memories, effortful retrieval mayenhance inhibitory processes that lead to forgetting of both neutral and negative episodicmemories.

Objective: The causes of substance use disorders (SUDs) are largely unknown and the effectiveness of their treatments is limited. One crucial impediment to research and treatment progress surrounds how SUDs are classified and diagnosed. Given the substantial heterogeneity among individuals diagnosed with a given SUD (e.g., alcohol use disorder), identifying novel research and treatment targets and developing new study designs is daunting. Method: In this paper, we review and integrate two recently developed frameworks, the NIDA Phenotyping Assessment Battery (NIDA PhAB) and the Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology (HiTOP), that hope to accelerate progress in understanding the causes and consequences of psychopathology by means of deep phenotyping, or finer-grained analysis of phenotypes. Results and Conclusions: NIDA PhAB focuses on addiction-related processes across multiple units of analysis, whereas HiTOP focuses on clinical phenotypes and covers a broader range of psychopathology. We highlight that NIDA PhAB and HiTOP together provide deep and broad characterizations of people diagnosed with SUDs and complement each other in their efforts to address widely known limitations of traditional classification systems and their diagnostic categories. Next, we show how NIDA PhAB and HiTOP can be integrated to facilitate optimal rich phenotyping of addiction-related phenomena. Finally, we argue that such deep phenotyping promises to advance our understanding of the neurobiology of SUD and addiction, which will guide the development of personalized medicine and interventions.
Social inclusion of robots depends on the way a robot is presented to observers

Research has shown that people evaluate others according to specific categories. As this phenomenon seems to transfer from human-human to human-robot interactions, in the present experiment we focused on (1) the degree of prior knowledge about technology, in terms of theoretical background and technical education, and (2) intentionality attribution towards robots, as factors potentially modulating individuals’ tendency to perceive robots as social partners. Thus, we designed a study where we asked two samples of participants varying in their prior knowledge about technology to perform a ball-tossing game, before and after watching a video where the humanoid iCub robot was depicted either as an artificial system or as an intentional agent. Results showed that people were more prone to socially include the robot after observing iCub presented as an artificial system, regardless of their degree of prior knowledge about technology. Therefore, we suggest that the way the robot was presented, and not the prior knowledge about technology, is likely to modulate individuals’ tendency to perceive the robot as a social partner.
Being green or being nice? People are more likely to share nicer but potentially less impactful green messages

Citizens can play an important role in disseminating scientific information about climate change, if motivated to do so. However, expressing green positions has the potential to negatively affect people’s reputation, by making them look judgmental for instance. In three experiments among US and UK participants (N = 1197) we investigate the reputational costs of sharing statements about climate change that vary in accuracy and in potential impact. In Experiment 1, we show that participants judge more negatively someone sharing a bleak (but arguably more accurate) statement about climate change (e.g., calling it “climate breakdown”), compared to a control statement. Experiment 2 replicates this finding with control statements (e.g. “The richest 1% in the world is responsible for most of the greenhouse gas emissions”) compared to accusatorial statements (adding “because most citizens in countries like the United States consume too much energy”). Experiment 3 shows that participants are less willing to share more accusatorial statements—even though they are thought to exert a greater effect on their audience. Our results further show that the fear of appearing judgmental and unfriendly might make people less likely to share bleaker or more accusatorial—even if more accurate or potentially effective—statements about climate change.
The Computational Psychiatry of Antisocial Behaviour and Psychopathy
Authors: Pauli Ruth , Lockwood Patricia
Published: July 2022

Antisocial behaviours such as disobedience, lying, stealing, destruction of property, and aggression towards others are common to multiple disorders of childhood and adulthood, including conduct disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, psychopathy, and antisocial personality disorder. These disorders have a significant negative impact for individuals and for society, but whether they represent clinically different phenomena, or simply different approaches to diagnosing the same underlying psychopathology is highly debated. Computational psychiatry, with its dual focus on identifying different classes of disorder and health (data-driven) and latent cognitive and neurobiological mechanisms across disorders (theory-driven), is well placed to address these questions. The focus on transdiagnostic symptoms provides an important framework for shedding light on mechanisms that can characterise latent processes across different disorders of antisocial behaviour. In this review, we critically discuss the contribution of computational research to our understanding of various antisocial behaviour disorders, and highlight suggestions for how computational psychiatry can address important clinical and scientific questions about these disorders in the future.
