Normative power and The Making of Constitutional Democracy
Authors: Köpcke Maris
Published: January 2024

A sound understanding of normative power is key to tackling central questions in legal and constitutional theory, some of which are usefully addressed in Sandro’s recent book. I show how the book’s account of normative power is insufficient for its purposes and how an improved account would shed light on problems the book leaves underexplored. They include the limits on law-making and political power, the contrast between powers and duties, the idea of application of law, and the relationship between political power and powers in the law. The payoff of exploring these problems is an appreciation of how legal powers — channelling the self-direction of individuals and institutions — are prime tools for the making of constitutional democracy.

Authors: Arya Virendra K. , Gourav Krishna Prasad , Gandhi Komal Anil , Singh Harkant
Published: January 2024

Cardiac metastases of lung cancers are common and are associated with serious complications. Locally aggressive lung tumors have the potential to extend into the left atrium via pulmonary veins, which can further complicate by embolizing into the systemic circulation. Pulmonary blastoma (PB) is one of the rare forms of primary lung malignancy and is locally aggressive. We report a rare case of 30 years old male patient who underwent left pneumonectomy for PB. During resection, the tumor was embolized into the descending thoracic aorta, leading to an acute circulatory compromise of both the lower limbs.

Published: January 2024

Background:

Antibiotics resistance is an paramount threat affecting the whole world but nowhere situation is as gloomy as in India. No study till date regarding epidemiology of hospital acquired infections in coronary care units(CCU) and cardiology wards from India. From Indian perspective it is the first observational study to analyse microbiological profile and antibiotic resistance in CCU. The purpose of this observational study is to explore the epidemiology and importance of infections in CCU patients.

Methodology:

After ethics committee approval, the records of all patients who were admitted in coronary care units, adult and pediatric cardiology wards surgery between January 2020 and December 2021 were reviewed retrospectively. The type of organism,source of infection ,age wise distribution and seasonal variability among patients who developed hospital acquired infection (HAI) were determined.

Results:

271 patients developed microbiologically documented HAI during from January 2020 to December 2021. Maximum number of organisms(78/271 28.78%) are isolated from urinary samples ,followed by blood stream(60/271 22.14%) and Endotracheal tube (54/271 19.92%). Acinetobacter baumanii (53/271, 19.5%) being the most common isolate among all the samples taken . Acinetobacter was the most frequent pathogens isolated in patients with LRTI and blood stream infection while E. coli was from urinary tract infection . In the adult population, infection with E. coli(24.6%) is the most common followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae (12.8%) and Acinetobacter baumanii (10.1%). In the pediatric population Acinetobacter baumanii (38.6%%) is the most common followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae (20.5%) and Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus, MRSA (6.8%). Commonly used antibiotics eg ciprofloxacin,ceftazidime and amikacin were found to be resistant against the top three isolates.

Conclusion:

Urinary tract was the most common site of infection and Gram-negative bacilli, the most common pathogens in adult as well as pediatric population. Antibiotic resistance was maximum with commonly isolated microorganisms.

Authors: Keleş Bilge Olgun , Yılmaz Elvan Tekir , Altınbaş Ali , Zengin Sabür , Yılmaz Seyhan
Published: January 2024

Introduction:

The aim of this study was to evaluate the prediction of vasoactive inotropic score (VIS) on early mortality and morbidity after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and to determine the ideal time for score calculation.

Materials and Methods:

The study included patients who underwent isolated on-pump CABG surgery between November 2021 and November 2022. Pre, intra, and postoperative data were obtained by retrospective chart review. The final VIS value in the operating room (VISintra) and the highest VIS value in the first 24 hours in the intensive care unit (VISmax) were calculated. The patients were divided into two groups; Group 1 who developed early postoperative morbidity and mortality and Group 2 who did not. And the data were analyzed by groups.

Results:

A total of 221 patients with a mean age of 63.49 ± 9.96 years were evaluated and 73 (33%) were in Group 1. The cut-off value for VISintra was determined to be 6.20, VISmax was 6,05. VISintra and VISmax values were significantly higher in the poor outcome group. Multivariate analysis showed that only VISmax value was an independent variable on mortality-morbidity.

Conclusions:

Our results imply that the vasoactive inotropic score is an easy and inexpensive score to calculate and can be used as a specific scoring system to predict poor early outcomes in CABG patients. According to statistical analyses, the most predictive time among VIS measurements was VISmax, the highest value calculated in the ICU in the first 24 hours postoperatively.
Congenital Sub-Mitral Aneurysm: Anesthetics and Surgical Management
Authors: Kalbande Jitendra V. , Singha Subrata S. , Bodhey Narendra , Sahani Preetam
Published: January 2024

A sub-mitral left ventricular aneurysm is a rare condition. It is a congenital outpouching of the left ventricular wall, invariably occurring adjacent to the posterior mitral leaflet. Sub-mitral aneurysm (SMA) has usually been reported as a consequence of myocardial ischemia (MI), rheumatic heart disease, tuberculosis, and infective endocarditis. Nevertheless, there have been few case reports of congenital SMA in India. It usually presents with symptoms of heart failure. We report a rare case of congenital SMA in a 27-year-old young Indian and its successful management through a trans-aneurysmal approach.

Authors: Das Devishree , Makhija Neeti , Hasija Suruchi , Prakash Mohit
Published: January 2024

The occurrence of pulmonary artery thrombus in association with rheumatic mitral stenosis is a rare complication. Pulmonary artery thrombus formation may worsen pulmonary artery pressures, and this may precipitate acute right heart failure. The possible mechanisms behind pulmonary artery thrombus formation during mitral valve replacement surgery could be acute coagulopathy following surgery, the presence of chronic pulmonary thromboembolism, or chronic atrial fibrillation. We report an unusual case of pulmonary artery thrombus in a patient with rheumatic MS which was diagnosed with transoesophageal echocardiography after MVR.

Published: January 2024

Cardiac surgeries often result in significant postoperative pain, leading to considerable use of opioids for pain management. However, excessive opioid use can lead to undesirable side effects and chronic opioid use. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate whether preoperative intrathecal morphine could reduce postoperative opioid consumption in patients undergoing cardiac surgery requiring sternotomy. We conducted a systematic search of Cochrane, EMBASE, and MEDLINE databases from inception to May 2022 for randomized controlled trials that evaluated the use of intrathecal morphine in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Studies that evaluated intrathecal administration of other opioids or combinations of medications were excluded. The primary outcome was postoperative morphine consumption at 24 h. Secondary outcomes included time to extubation and hospital length of stay. The final analysis included ten randomized controlled trials, with a total of 402 patients. The results showed that postoperative morphine consumption at 24 h was significantly lower in the intervention group (standardized mean difference -1.43 [-2.12, -0.74], 95% CI, P < 0.0001). There were no significant differences in time to extubation and hospital length of stay. Our meta-analysis concluded that preoperative intrathecal morphine is associated with lower postoperative morphine consumption at 24 h following cardiac surgeries, without prolonging the time to extubation. The use of preoperative intrathecal morphine can be considered part of a multimodal analgesic and opioid-sparing strategy in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
Perioperative Challenges and Outcome After Surgical Correction of Post-myocardial Infarction Ventricular Septal Rupture: A Retrospective Single Center Study
Authors: Bangal Kedar
Published: January 2024

Background:

Ventricular septal rupture (VSR) is a rare but grave complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). It is a mechanical complication of myocardial infarction where patients may present either in a compensated state or in cardiogenic shock. The aim of the study is to determine the in-hospital mortality. The study also aims to identify the predictors of outcomes (in-hospital mortality, vasoactive inotrope score (VIS), duration of ICU stay and mechanical ventilation in the postoperative period) and compare the clinical and surgical parameters between survivors and non-survivors.

Methods:

This is a retrospective study. The data of 90 patients was collected from the medical records and the data comprising of 13 patients who underwent VSR closure by single patch technique, or septal occluder, and those who expired before receiving the treatment, was excluded. The data of 77 patients diagnosed with post-AMI VSR and who underwent surgical closure of VSR by double patch technique was included in this study. Clinical findings and echocardiography parameters were recorded from the perioperative period. The statistical software used was SPSS version 27. The primary outcome was determining the in-hospital mortality. The secondary outcome was identifying the clinical parameters that are significantly more in the non-survivors, and the factors predicting the in-hopsital mortality and morbidity (increased duration of ICU stay, and of mechanical ventilation, postoperative requirement of high doses of vasopressors and inotropes). Subgroup analysis was done to identify the relation of various clinical parameters with the postoperative complications. The factors predicting the in-hospital mortality were illustrated by a forest plot.

Results:

The mean age of the patients was 60.35 (±9.9) years, 56 (72.7%) were males, and 21 (27.3%) were females. Requirement of mechanical ventilation preoperatively (OR 3.92 [CI 2.91-6.96]), cardiogenic shock at presentation (OR 4 [CI 2.33 – 6.85]), requirement of IABP (OR 2.05 [CI 1.38-3.94]), were predictors of mortality. The apical location of VSR had been favorable for survival. The EUROScore II at presentation correlated with the postoperative VIS (level of significance [LS] 0.0011, R 0.36. The in-hospital mortality in this study was 33.76%.

Conclusion:

The in-hospital mortality of VSR is 33.76%. Cardiogenic shock at presentation, non-apical site of VSR, preoperative requirement of mechanical ventilation, high VIS preoperatively, perioperative utilization of IABP, prolonged CPB time, postoperative duration of mechanical ventilation, and high postoperative VIS were the factors associated with increased odds of in-hospital mortality.

Pericentric inversion of chromosome 9 (inv[9]) is a common chromosomal structural variant, but its impact on clinical outcomes remains debated. The screening criteria of sperm banks are rarely mentioned to individuals with inv(9). In this study, we evaluated the fertility of sperm donors with inv(9) who met eligibility criteria for sperm banks (inv[9]-eligible donors). From March 2004 to May 2022, chromosomal analysis of 16 124 sperm donors at CITIC-Xiangya Human Sperm Bank in Hunan Province (Changsha, China) found that 251 (1.6%) had chromosome variations, with inv(9) being the most prevalent at 1.1%. All 169 inv(9)-eligible donors were contacted to collect fertility outcome data, along with 206 eligible donors without inv(9) as controls. In addition, semen samples from inv(9)-eligible donors and eligible donors underwent assessments of sperm fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), mitochondrial membrane potential, DNA fragmentation index, acrosome integrity, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and sperm morphology. Results showed that inv(9) did not significantly increase reproductive risks overall. Despite detecting ROS level differences, the clinical impact may be insignificant. This study provides new data on the inv(9) population that can serve as a valuable reference for decision-making by sperm banks as well as for genetic counseling and clinical guidance for individuals carrying inv(9) variant.
Inhibition potential of extract of leaves of Sodom apple in the corrosion of mild steel in 1.0 M H2SO4
Authors: Izuagie Thompson , Umar Shehu , Bashar Kamaru M.
Published: January 2024

Corrosion inhibition of mild steel in 1.0 M sulphuric acid by extract of leaves of Sodom apple has been studied using gravimetric and surface analysis. Varying concentrations (0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 g/mL) of the inhibitor in 1.0 M H2SO4 were prepared from residue of an ethanolic extract of the sample and were used for the corrosion inhibition study. The extracts were previously confirmed by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy and screened for phytochemicals including tannins, saponins, and cardiac glycosides. The results for anticorrosion studies showed that the highest inhibition efficiency of the extract was 89.3% at 1.5 g/mL inhibitor concentration and a temperature of 323 K. Equally, the corrosion rate of the steel was observed to decrease with increase in the concentration of the extract. Scanning electron micrographs also indicated that the extract actually slows down the rate of corrosion of the steel. The study further suggests that the corrosion inhibition mechanism of the extract on steel in 1 M H2SO4 could be modelled using Freundlich isotherm and that the inhibition was by physisorption and formation of multilayers on the steel surface.

Analysis of the Effect of Nicotine on Brain Activity and Function Using FMRI: Implications for Cigarette Dependence
Authors: Richard Fabrice , Zhu Yang , Sidiq Fahmi
Published: January 2024

This study examines the effect of nicotine, the main compound in cigarettes, on brain activity and function using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI). Nicotine influences the release of neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin, which affect various aspects of life, including learning, memory, alertness, and emotional balance. Dependence on nicotine can cause withdrawal symptoms, such as anxiety, depression, and sleep disorders. Neurological research shows differences in brain activity in smokers and non-smokers, especially in the ventral (rostral anterior cingulate cortex, insula, opercular, and occipital gyrus) and dorsal (dorsal medial/lateral prefrontal cortex and dorsal anterior cingulate cortex) areas. Brain disorders are also associated with psychological disorders such as anxiety, depression and compulsive behavior. Apart from that, nicotine use can also affect the dopamine and serotonin systems, resulting in sleep disorders and emotional disorders in cigarette addicts.

We reassess the inflation-hedging potentials of precious metals during the COVID-19 and Russia-Ukraine war periods and document findings for some advanced and emerging markets. We adopt the dynamic panel threshold regression model and account for the policy rates of the economies in the analyses. We find that while gold retained its protective powers, the reverse was the case for silver during the pandemic and the war in Ukraine. We offer a suggestion for investors and recommend that related studies take account of the monetary policy environment of the markets.
Revisiting Food Price Volatility in Nigeria: Climate Change or Terrorism?
Authors: Udeaja Elias A. , Isah Kazeem
Published: January 2024

We offer new insights into the volatility dynamics of food prices based on the increasing vulnerability of farming activity to climate change and terrorism in Nigeria. We employ a Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity framework with Mixed Data Sampling (GARCH-MIDAS) to distinguish between realized and exogenously induced food price volatility. We hypothesize and confirm the relative significance of terrorism’s impact on food price volatility in Nigeria. Our results show that terrorism, and not climate change, predominantly induces volatility in Nigeria’s food prices.
Spiritual Rebirth in Three 19th-Century European Classics Compared to Transpersonal Experiences in Zeno’s Conscience: A Psychosynthetic Analysis of Zeno’s Conscience
Authors: Tóth-Izsó Zsuzsanna
Published: January 2024

In the first article of the two interconnected articles, titled "Out-of-time experiences in four iconic 20th-century European modernist novels including Zeno's Conscience" (Tóth-Izsó, 2023b) the examination of Kairos experiences transpired through the lens of a psychosynthetic framework. In this second article the most important transpersonal experiences of the characters of Brothers Karamazov, Les Miserables, and A Christmas Carol are briefly presented and interpreted from a psychosynthetic view, by using appropriate quotes. The spiritual experiences presented in this paper clearly show religious aspects and thus can be interpreted as mystical experiences that constitute a broad category of the more inclusive transpersonal experiences. These two share similar characteristics to a certain extent, but also differ in many aspects as we will see in the comparison presented. In the Conclusion, transpersonal experiences of Zeno—identified in the first article— are compared with similar experiences of the characters of the three selected classics. This comparison revealed, that while in the case of Zeno —the only sporadic—transpersonal events were hidden deeply in the text and had no lasting effect on the life of Zeno, in the cases of the three analysed classics these events were markedly conspicuous and had radical life-changing effects on the concerned characters' life.

On the issue of three-dimensional political security of the political systems of post-Soviet societies
Authors: Aleksanyan Ashot
Published: January 2024

The relevance of the research topic of this article lies in the fact that the transformations and market relations of the post-Soviet countries constantly give rise to various threats of an economic, social and political nature in relation to political parties, CSOs and individuals. At the same time, public policy as a system of reasonable measures to limit the negative consequences of transformation and market activity is designated as political security, because its actor is mainly public authority, which defines all its actions as political actions using political tools. However, comparative analysis in post-Soviet studies is more focused not on political security, but on national security, as a system for protecting the vital interests of the individual, society and the state, while in the theoretical aspect it is more correct to talk about political security as a set of various measures of public authorities aimed at producing relations that do not threaten the individual, society and the state. On the other hand, the relevance of the study also lies in the fact that national security is presented in political studies as a system of civiliarchic protection, which has a biopolitical character and comes from an effective system of checks and balances. Whereas security is also dynamic in nature, that is, it depends on the state of the actor, on his position in the political system of existing institutions, relations, consciousness, culture, values, norms, traditions, etc. At the same time, security in post-Soviet studies is considered one-sided, ideas about it are formed mainly from expert assessments that do not take into account the social, economic, political and cultural position of the actors. Comparative analysis of political security is carried out with less intensity than other spheres of biopolitics. The circle of post-Soviet researchers involved in political security in recent years is not as wide as required

Increased public awareness of health rights and legal access has sparked intensive discussions on malpractice in healthcare. However, differing views between lawyers and doctors regarding the definition of malpractice as well as the limits of doctors' authority create complexity. Types of medical malpractice, such as criminal, administrative, ethical and meritorious, are the focus for understanding the legal liability framework. Although civil law can protect consumers, the lack of an independent medical law formulation in Indonesia is an obstacle. Normative research methods are used to explore the legal views and responsibilities of doctors in medical practice. Discussions on malpractice proof, legal protection for doctors, and ethical and legal obligations in medical practice contribute to the understanding of this complex issue. Therefore, this article aims to detail the legal and ethical framework related to medical malpractice in Indonesia and explore protection and enforcement efforts to optimize the relationship between patients and the medical profession.

Introduction: Ovarian cancer is the third most common cancer in Indonesia after breast cancer and cervical cancer. The global prevalence of mucinous ovarian carcinoma is lower than other subtypes, but the relative frequency of the mucinous subtype in Indonesia is the third highest after Singapore and South Korea. Ovarian cancer develops in the tubal fimbria before metastasizing to the ovaries. Genes involved in the carcinogenesis of mucinous ovarian carcinoma include KRAS, BRAF, p53. The expression of YY1 (Yin Yang 1) is associated with increased survival in ovarian cancer patients. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between histopathological features of the fallopian tubes and the expression of p53 mRNA and YY1 mRNA. Methods: This study used a cross sectional research design. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. The sample for this study were 27 mucinous ovarian carcinoma patients at Regional General Hospital Prof. Dr. Margono Soekarjo Purwokerto. Examination of p53 and YY1 expression using qPCR and tubal histopathology using hematoxylin eosin staining. Results: . Of the 27 study samples, 24 patients had high p53 mRNA expression and 3 patients had low p53 mRNA expression. Meanwhile, 24 patients had low expression of YY1 mRNA expression, 3 patients had high expression. Based on the results of the Fisher's Exact statistical test analysis, there was no relationship between tubal histopathological features and p53 mRNA expression in mucinous ovarian carcinoma patients, with a significance value (p) of 0.231. There was no relationship between tubal histopathological features and YY1 mRNA expression with a significance value (p) of 0.569.

This study examines how the movement of modalities owned by female candidates in the midst of a patriarchal habitus which is still developing in the 2019 elections in Indonesia. Despite obtaining the highest representation of women in parliament throughout history, in reality the increase that has occurred cannot be significant but tends to be ups and downs. The increase in the representation of female candidates in parliament in 2019 is inseparable from several factors, one of which is the capital owned by female candidates. Using the theory from Pierre Bourdie, he explained that capital is indeed very important for women candidates in Indonesia to get elected, but they also have to pay attention to the arena and their developing habits. The researcher uses the literature study method which is quoted from various sources of scientific studies that can be proven valid to answer research questions. This study found that capital (social capital, political capital, and economic capital) is indeed capable of getting candidates elected, but in reality there are still many female candidates who have high modality unable to win political contestation. This is because the capital owned by female candidates has so far been controlled by a patriarchal class system which causes modality to not develop optimally and the increase in the electability of women candidates in parliament in Indonesia cannot be significant.
