Authors: Abdalhabib Ezeldine K
Published: July 2020

Background: The effective management and choice of appropriate treatment of lymphoma subtypes depend on an accurate diagnosis and differentiation, which require comprehensive haematology and pathology work. Methods: A total of 134 cases of malignant lymphoma, newly diagnosed between January 2017 to January 2020, were selected. For each patient’s samples, complete blood count, immunohistochemistry, and morphological evaluation were done. Results: Clinical data showed that 81 patients (60.4%) were males and 53 (39.6%) females. The age range was 4 to 80 years. NHL lymphoma comprised 87.3% of cases, while HL comprised 12.7% of cases. Diffuse large B cell lymphoma was the most prevalent NHL subtype, representing 39.3% of cases. Among HL subtypes, mixed cellularity was present in 41.2% of cases. B cell lymphoma constituted 93.2% of cases. All HL patients and 74.4% of NHL patients had anaemia. Conclusion: This is the first statistical report of malignant lymphoma patterns in Sudanese patients. These data suggest that malignant lymphoma in Sudanese patients is more frequent in males than females; its incidence increases with age. Further, B cell lymphoma is more common than T cell lymphoma. Diffuse large B cell lymphoma was the most frequent NHL subtype.

Published: July 2020

Background: Gender differences are engrained in our culture and are evident when perceiving women’s health and ill health. Health issues of women are of great importance in a society as it directly impacts the fabric of family and society. With limited access to education or employment, high illiteracy rates and increasing poverty levels health improvements for women are quite difficult in developing countries including India. There is a significant lack of official data on gynecological cancers further for women from tribal population which is important for advocacy and public health care planning. Aim: Study aimed at assessing awareness of gynecological cancers amongst tribal females in Borivali Taluka of Mumbai, Maharashtra. Methodology: The research is a descriptive study with a cross-sectional research design. 100 tribal female comprised the total sample. Result: Significant lack of awareness about the Gynecological cancers was seen in the tribal respondents of Aarey circle of Borivalli Taluka, Mumbai regarding the symptoms, treatment, and preventive measures of gynecological cancers. Conclusion: It is evident from previous as well as current study several factors are responsible for poor awareness about gynecological cancers among marginalized tribal respondents.
The Role of 18F-FDG-PET/CT Scan in the Management of Multiple Myeloma
Authors: Haghighat Shirin
Published: July 2020

Bone lesion is a myeloma-defining event which is reported in 80% of multiple myeloma patients. Imaging of bone is essential in the evaluation of pattern and extent of bone involvement. Recently, whole body X ray (WBXR) has been replaced by more accurate imaging such as whole bode MRI and FDG-PET/CT scan. This review article provides the advantages and role of PET/CT scan in the diagnosis and management of multiple myeloma patients. Generally, PET/CT in diagnosis of bone involvement of newly diagnosed myeloma patients is more sensitive than WBXR. The prognostic value of PET/CT in newly diagnosed patients has been described as well. Different studies have demonstrated that several PET parameters such as the number of focal lesions (FL), SUVmax and extramedullary disease(EMD) may affect the outcome of multiple myeloma patients. Interstingely, the main role of PET/CT in myeloma patients is treatment response monitoring and to some extent assessment of MRD. PET/CT appears to be superior than MRI in evaluation of response due to its ability in differentiating active lesion from negative one.

Authors: Khrus O. V.
Published: July 2020

With the help of electron microscopic and morphometric methods, the features of changes in the ultrastructure of periodontal tissues in persons with psychoemotional stresses were studied.It was shown that chronic psychoemotional stress is accompanied in the gum tissue by the development of endothelial and mitochondrial dysfunction with signs of edema and destruction of the capillary endothelium and a violation of the ultrastructure of about 50 % of the mitochondria in the cells.Structural changes were also observed in bone tissue. They testified about the development of destructive processes with the violation of intercellular signaling system and signs of necrotic cells. Such changes in the gum and bone tissues can promote the development of periodontitis in the case of chronic psychoemotional stress and lead to tooth loss.
The effectiveness and safety of immunoglobulintherapy for various human pathologies V. E. Kazmirchuk (Kyiv, Ukraine)
Authors: Kazmirchuk V. E.
Published: July 2020

Work begins from a large historical background the emergence of the doctrine of immunoglobulins. A brief review of the development of world achievements in the use of immunoglobulin therapy is given. We give the rationale for the treatment of various human diseases in situations of ineffective protocol treatment, the principles of searching for the etiology and making the correct diagnosis. Often a visit to an immunologist is the only hope of the patient in solving the health problem. Several cases from hundreds of patients observed by us are described. All medical professionals working according to the protocols themselves should be referred to the immunologist in cases of lack of diagnosis or ineffective treatment. Treatment of patients should begin with the establishment of an etiological factor in any disease, even in cases of oncology. Until the root cause of the disease has been identified, treatment cannot be effective. The use of immunoglobulin therapy has no contraindications, and its effectiveness and safety are presented in the work.

Authors: Moskalenko Yu. V. , Vуnnуchenko I. О. , Smorodska O. M. , Vynnychenko O. I. , Moskalenko R. A
Published: July 2020

Lung cancer is one of the main causes of death from malignant neoplasm all around the world. For the purpose of personalized treatment immunohistochemical determination of specific proteins (biomarkers) presence in tissues and biological fluids is needed. Today management of patients with lung cancer is directly associated with determination of genes mutations: EGFR, ALK, ROS1 and rate of PD-L1 receptors expression. Depending on the PD-L1 expression level blockers of these receptors can be used as the first, supportive and second / third line therapy. As the first line of therapy for patients with high expression level of PD-L1 (≥ 50 % TPS) Pemblizomab is recommended, while for patients with moderate levels (PD-L1 1 – 49% TPS) PD-L1 blockers can be used only as a second / third line of therapy. In numerous clinical trials efficiency and safety of Pemrolizumab, Nivolumab and Atezolizumab have been proved. Testing of Avelumab, Durvalumab, as well as combined drugs – Ipilimumab and Tremilimumb are still going on.

Authors: Lyalkin S. A. , Verevkina N. O. , Syvak L. A.
Published: July 2020

Treatment of patients with triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) remains one of the most difficult problems in clinical oncology. Despite the negative prognosis for TNBC, there exists the group of patients with better response to the therapy and better prognosis, which proves the heterogenity of TNBC. The aim of the study was to evaluate the predictive role of tumor infiltrative lymphocytes (TIL) and their subpopulations (CD4+, CD8+ and FOXP3) in patients with TNBC. The predictive role of clinical, morphologic and immunohystochemical tumor features on neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) efficacy was assessed in 52 TNBC patients. The risk of incomplete pathomorphologic response after NACT is related with 2 biomarkers: level of TIL and stromal CD4+ lymphocytes. The increase of TIL level decreases of the risk of incomplete pathomorphologic response (P = 0.01), ОR = 0.07 (95 % CІ 0.01–0.55) while standartization on CD4+ level. The high level of TIL at the time of diagnosis significantly decreases the risk of incomplete pathomorphologic response (OR = 0,2; P = 0,02). The group of patients with the ratio of stromal lymphocytes CD4low/CD8low had the eight-fold increase of the risk of incomplete pathomorphologic response comparing with the group with the ratio CD4high/CD8high (ОR = 8,0; Р = 0,03); the patient with the ratio stromal lymphocytes CD8low/ FOXP3low had the almost two-fold increase of the risk of incomplete pathomorphologic response comparing with the group with the ratio CD8high/FOXP3high (ОR = 2,1; Р = 0,03).
PREDICTIVE GENETIC SIGNS OF INTRAUTERINE GROWTH RETARDATION SYNDROM IN NEWBORNS
Authors: Kocherga Z. R. , Savrun Т. І.
Published: July 2020

The influence of genetically determined factors of mutation genetic pressing leads to genetic instability increasing or reducing genom’s sensitivenes to further mutant action, which is of major importance in developing the syndrome of intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) in newborns. The main markers of genetic instability are the changes in morphological cell characteristics (cytogenetic, cytological, cytodensimetric), polymorphism of genes of xenobiotics detoxication GSTM1 and GSTТ1, changes in enzyme activity of glutathione acid and oxidation protein modification. In order to define the leading factors of destruction of genetic status of newborns with IUGR syndrome a discriminant and correlation analysis was conducted, which determined the links between the genes of xenobiotics detoxication GSTM1 and GSTТ1, by the indices of morphological functional genome state, enzymes activity of glutathione system and oxidation protein modifications and development of IUGR syndrome. The model of the statistic analysis of cytogenic, molecular genetic and biochemical characteristics enables to obtain an objective characteristic of the state of inheritance apparatus of newborns with IGR in comparison with healthy newborns.

Published: July 2020

Coronary arteries are normally located on the epicardial surface of the heart (surrounded by adipose and loose connective tissue), can "plunge" into the thickness of the myocardium at different depths, and then again "appear" on the surface of the heart. The muscle that covers the intramural segment of the epicardial coronary artery is called the myocardial "bridge" (MB), and the artery extending into the thickness of the myocardium is called the tunnel. MB is the most common congenital pathology of the coronary arteries. MB occurs in about 1/3 of the entire population, but it does not always manifest itself in violation of heart perfusion and related symptoms: angina pectoris, vasospastic angina (Prinzmetalla), acute coronary syndrome, loss of consciousness, ventricular tachycardia, sudden death. This pathology is found in both women and men, but the target group remains in men 25–35 years of age, who experience clinical manifestations mainly during physical activity. According to autopsies, MB is found in 87 %, up to 5 % of them are hemodynamically significant. Among those who died suddenly, 25 % had MB. This topic is relevant because previously diagnosed with MB can prevent the development of the above pathological conditions and save the life of the patient. The article presents data on morphology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment of myocardial bridges (MB). The role of this coronary vessel pathology in the emergence of vasospastic angina (Prinzmetal) and sudden cardiac death in young, mainly male patients has been revealed. The pathophysiological role of CO2 levels in the blood and its relationship to the clinical manifestations of the muscular bridges were also analyzed.
MEDICAL POSSIBILITIES OF CARBOXYTHERAPY FOR CELLULITE

Published: July 2020

Cellulite is not only an aesthetic and cosmetic defect of the skin, but a signal of violations in the body, the cause of which is an incorrect lifestyle. The number of collagen fibers in the connective tissue decreases markedly, peripheral blood supply is disturbed, various hormonal changes occur, and in combination with malnutrition, a sedentary lifestyle, bad habits (smoking, alcohol abuse), sleep disturbance, frequent stress and sudden changes in body weight can first observe the formation of dimples and bulges (“orange peel”), and with the aggravation of the situation due to lymphostasis, there is an accumulation of toxins and gynoid lipodystrophy occurs with age. The main syndromes that characterize cellulitis: lymphostasis, hypoxia, a violation of the relationship between lipogenesis and lipolysis, non-inflammatory changes in subcutaneous fat, fibrodestruction. Cellulite treatment is carried out by complex methods: pharmaco- and physiotherapeutic, including hormone-correcting, lipocorrection, vasoactive, defibrosing, lifting and others. The lack of monotherapy results can be explained by the complexity of the drug penetration into the "cellulite" zones. The absence of effectiveness of monotherapy stimulates the search for new approaches to treatment. One of the effective methods in complex pharmacotherapy is carboxytherapy. Сarboxytherapy application contributes to the normalization of vascular tone and blood rheology, enhances blood circulation and removes venous stasis; improve oxygenation and trophic tissue, stimulate the processes of neovascularization, lipid metabolism, neocollagenogenesis. As a result of these changes subcutaneous fat cells (cellulite) are destroyed, stagnation is eliminated, and skin elasticity and tone are restored.
Graphical presentation of Lived Experiences of Educators in relation to CPTD within the Johannesburg West District High Schools
Authors: Thusi Nisi , Costa King
Published: July 2020

Continuing Professional Teacher Development (CPTD) is empowerment and enhancement of professionalism and competence of Educators within the education system, whether public or private sector. The Department of Basic Education implemented a standardized CPTD program throughout the schooling system, which is monitored and managed by a statutory body known as SACE (South African Council of Educators). This study sought to describe lived experiences of educators in relation to implementation of CPTD in Johannesburg West District. The study was designed within the interpretivist paradigm, employing phenomenology as a strategy of inquiry. 10 educators were selected purposively for interviews, which were recorded with permission of participants. The recording was critical for demonstration of member checking and audit trail required for rigor determination in qualitative research. Through thematic data analysis, the study generated three themes in pursuit of answering the research question, which were (1) Mentorship Vacuum, (2) Dis-interest and inertia and (3) Leadership Support. Whereas the first two themes report the negative experiences educators have had with CPTD, the last them reflected that participants had some form of leadership support.

Authors: Kohnert Dirk
Published: July 2020

A new star has opened in the sky of authors from Francophone Africa. So far, he is hardly known outside of the language area of the Francophonie. His name is Florent Couao-Zotti and he comes from Benin, West Africa. Couao-Zotti develops in 18 episodes, one crazier than the other, literally a fabulous story. The Académie française awarded him the prestigious 'Prix Roland De Jouvenel ' for his novel 'Western Tchoukoutou' published by Gallimard in 2018. It would be in the English reader’s best interest that the novel will soon find a publisher who translates the book into English, not least so that the readers of neighboring Anglophone Africa can enjoy this marvelous taste of new African literature.

Życie monastyczne w Konstantynopolu w wypowiedziach autorów IV i V wieku
Authors: Dybski Henryk
Published: July 2020

Dall'analisi che abbiamo presentato sopra, relativa alle fonti patristiche del IV e del V secolo sul tema „Il monachesimo a Costantinopoli", si possono trarre le seguenti considerazioni. Gia l'imperatore Costantino il Grande presto interesse a questa forma di vita. Ció e testimoniato dalla lettera, non conservatasi, indirizzata dall’imperatore stesso a sant'Antonio del deserto. Oltre a questo, anche sant'Antonio il Grande scrisse al sovrano in difesa di sant'Atanasio il Grande. Nell'anno 320, Costantino riconobbe i privilegi delle persone di ambo i sessi che sceglievano di vivere nella verginita. Alla famiglia dell'imperatore fu legata la vita di Arsenio, il quale educó i figli di Teodoro il Grande e, dopo essersi convertito, si dedicó alla vita eremitica nel deserto, in Egitto. I monaci egiziani erano soliti recarsi dall'imperatore di Costantinopoli, per esempio, con la richiesta di essere dispensati dal versamento dei tributi. Le informazioni da noi raccolte e sopra riportate sono testimonianza della presenza di legami tra Costantinopoli e i monaci d'Egitto, nonche delle influenze di questi ultimi sulla vita della capitale dell'impero. Occorre aggiungere che al palazzo imperiale fu legata la figura di Marciano di Cira, il quale rinunció alla carriera a cortee, sotto il regno di Valente, visse da eremita nei deserto della Siria. Dopo la morte dell'imperatore, si dedicó alla vita monastica, non lontano da Antiochia, anche un certo Zenone, attivo nei servizi speciali „agentes in rebus" come spia della polizia. I primi monasteri maschili e femminili di Costantinopoli furono costruiti per opera del vescovo Macedonus e del diacono Maratone, entrambi semiariani. Contro di loro si schieró il Concilio di Calcedonia, il quale promulgó un canone avente lo scopo di sottomettere i monaci alla giurisdizione dei vescovi. Un ulteriore elemento di analisi e quello relativo ai legami tra il monaco Eutiche e le pratiche eretiche. Contro il suo insegnamento intervenne papa Leone con la lettera a Flaviano, vescovo di Costantinopoli. Inoltre, la dottrina di Eutiche fu condannata anche dal Concilio di Calcedonia. Qui vivevano ancora monaci legati all'eresia macedonese. A Costantinopoli si trovavano anche delle vergini. Fra loro vi erano: la diaconessa Olimpia, le figlie dell'imperatore Arcadio (Pulcheria, Arcadia e Marina). Nella citta vissero temporaneamente Egeria, Evagrio Pontico, Melania la Giovane e san Giovanni Cassiano.

United we stand: Accruals in strength-based argumentation
Authors: Rossit Julien , Mailly Jean-Guy , Dimopoulos Yannis , Moraitis Pavlos
Published: July 2020

Argumentation has been an important topic in knowledge representation, reasoning and multi-agent systems during the last twenty years. In this paper, we propose a new abstract framework where arguments are associated with a strength, namely a quantitative information which is used to determine whether an attack between arguments succeeds or not. Our Strength-based Argumentation Framework (StrAF) combines ideas of Preference-based and Weighted Argumentation Frameworks in an original way, which permits to define acceptability semantics sensitive to the existence of accruals between arguments. The question of accruals arises in situations where several arguments defending the same position (but from different points of view) against another argument are unable to individually defeat this argument, but could do it collectively if they combine their strengths. We investigate some of the theoretical and computational properties of our new framework and semantics, and present a reasoning algorithm that is based on a translation of the problem into pseudo-boolean constraint satisfaction. This paper proposes an intuitive framework which allows strength compensations in an argumentation context where attacks may not succeed, completed by an approach which detects accruals throughout the reasoning process without requiring the elicitation of all compensatory combinations of arguments as an input.
Adipose tissue regeneration in a 3D-printed poly(lactic acid) frame-supported space in the inguinal region of rats
Authors: Kambe Yusuke , Ogino Shuichi , Yamanaka Hiroki , Morimoto Naoki , Yamaoka Tetsuji
Published: July 2020

BACKGROUND: Adipose tissue engineering has been studied as an alternative to current options for breast reconstruction, such as lipofilling, flap reconstruction, and silicone implants. Previously, we demonstrated that a poly(L-lactic acid) mesh containing a collagen sponge, containing neither cells nor growth factors, could be filled with the regenerated adipose tissues when implanted in rodent models. However, the main factor contributing to adipogenesis remained unclear. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to clarify whether adipogenesis can be achieved by the space provided by the mesh or by the bioactivity of collagen. METHODS: A three-dimensional (3D) poly(lactic acid) (PLA) frame, which was stiff enough to maintain its shape, was fabricated by 3D printing. The frame with (PLA+ColI) or without (PLA only) a type I collagen hydrogel was implanted in the inguinal region of rats for up to 12 months. Adipose tissue regeneration in the PLA only and PLA+ColI groups was evaluated histologically. RESULTS: The 3D PLA frame maintained its structure for 12 months in vivo and oil red O (ORO)-positive adipose tissues were regenerated in the frame. No significant difference in the ORO-positive area was detected between the PLA only and PLA+ColI groups. CONCLUSION: The space supported by the frame was a key factor in adipogenesis in vivo.
A study on the influence of prosthetic interface material in transtibial amputees’ gait
Authors: Cavaco Adriana , Durães Luísa , Ramalho Amílcar , Pais Sandra
Published: July 2020

BACKGROUND: Interfaces of transtibial prosthesis have an important role in the transmission of ground reaction forces, damping gait loads and tissue protection. OBJECTIVE: This work aims to study the influence of prosthesis interfaces on amputees’ gait and perception on pain, comfort and the overall interface/prosthesis system. METHODS: Commercial samples of three different interface materials were selected: block copolymer (Material I), silicone gel (Material II) and silicone elastomer (Material III). Using standardized prosthesis, four amputee subjects performed gait tests at three imposed cadences in a barometric platform. The subjects also filled in a questionnaire about their perception. RESULTS: Material II presented the highest asymmetries of vertical ground reaction forces and was perceived as the most painful and uncomfortable. Material III led to the most symmetric load distribution between legs and was perceived as the most comfortable. Material I showed better overall biomechanical behavior and better subject’s perception. CONCLUSIONS: Material III showed appropriate characteristics for lower levels of activity for which it is recommended. Prescription of Material II should be rethought, as it is only adequate for specific and occasional situations. Material I should be considered adequate for both active and less active amputees. When correlating the subjects’ perception with the interface properties, we concluded that the mechanical properties are the most influential.

DAKWAH MELALUI METODE SILATURAHMI: Sebuah Tinjauan Reflektif terhadap Aktivitas J a ula h K h u s h u s h i Jamaah Tabligh
Authors: Mustafa Ali
Published: July 2020

Dakwah dengan metode silaturahmi secara teoretik memiliki berbagai kelebihan, di antaranya ialah dapat menciptakan hubungan yang lebih akrab antara dai dan mad‘ū. Tulisan ini hendak mengulas metode dakwah silaturahmi yang didasarkan pada tinjauan reflektif terhadap aktivitas dakwah yang dilakukan oleh Jamaah Tabligh. Sebab, di antara gerakan dakwah di dunia, yang menjadikan metode silaturahmi sebagai metode utama adalah Jamaah Tabligh. Dari tulisan ini dapat direfleksikan tiga hal. Pertama, Jamaah Tabligh memiliki konsep dakwah yang komprehensif terkait metode dakwah silaturahmi. Hal ini dapat dilihat dari klasifikasi sasaran khushushi yang ditetapkan oleh Jamaah Tabligh yang disertai dengan memberikan garis-garis tentang pesan yang harus disampaikan pada masing-masing karakter mad‘ū yang dikunjungi. Kedua, kunjungan dakwah yang dilakukan Jamaah Tabligh demikian terorganisir. Hal ini dilihat dari prinsip nisab – menyisihkan waktu 2,5 jam perhari, 3 hari dalam sebulan, 40 hari dalam setahun, dan 4 bulan sekali seumur hidup – bagi karkun untuk melakukan khushushi dalam berdakwah. Ketiga, dalam silturahmi dakwah yang dilakukan Jamaah Tabligh tercermin nilai ikram (memuliakan) sesama muslim. Konsep semacam ini tentu menjadi sebuah keniscayaan bagi gerakan dakwah Islam, di mana umat Islam di seluruh dunia dapat saling menghormati dan bergandengan tangan untuk memecahkan masalah yang menjadi persoalan umat.

Dayah di Aceh merupakan lembaga pendidikan keagamaan dengan bahasa pengantarnya bahasa Aceh. Dayah sebagai lembaga yang mampu memberdayakan masyarakat agar mengembangkan potensi fitrah manusia, hingga ia dapat memerankan diri secara maksimal sebagai hamba Allah yang ta’at serta esksistensi dayah juga masih semakin diakui dalam memainkan perannya di tengah-tengah masyarakat sebagai lembaga dakwah. Dayah dan masyarakat juga merupakan sebuah hubungan yang sudah terjalin erat sehingga keberadaan dayah di tengah-tengah masyarakat dapat diterima dan menjadi sebuah gerakan perubahan dalam menciptakan suasana yang islami bagi masyarakat itu sendiri kemudian masyarakat dan dayah tidak lagi terjadi pertentangan baik dari pihak dayah maupun dari kalangan masyarakat. Setiap manusia pasti mengalami perubahan dan perubahan itu dipengaruhi dari berbagai faktor, apabila perubahan yang dipengaruhi oleh faktor agama maka masyarakat akan memiliki perubahan dalam prilaku keagamaan. Semua orang bersepakat bahwa kehidupan sosial tidaklah statis, melainkan selalu berubah secara dinamis. Tapi tidak orang mempunyai kesepakatan sama dalam mengartikan perubahan sosial. Malah, konsep perubahan sosial sempat diberi makna intuitif dan sebagai suatu mitos belaka. Dalam perkembangannya pun para ahli memperlihatkan perbedaan dalam memahami perubahan sosial. Pemaknaan konsep perubahan sosial kelihatannya masih problematik hingga kini. Oleh karena itu gerakan atau aktivitas-aktivitas dakwah dayah seperti majelis taklim di berbagai desa atau gampong diharapkan yang nantinya bisa menciptakan sebuah perubahan sosial sehingga bisa dirasakan oleh kalangan masyarakat itu sendiri, serta dalam menjalankan aktivitas dakwahnya, dayah tak hanya santri saja yang menjadi sasarannya akan tetapi masyarakat juga yang di luar dayah bisa mendapatkan ilmu tentang pengetahuan agama dari hasil aktivitas dakwah yang dilakukan dayah dan perubahan sosial bisa dapat dirasakan oleh masyarakat dari semenjak sebelum adanya dayah hingga dayah itu hadir di tengah-tengah masyarakat mampu memberikan perubahan, baik dari pengetahuan tentang agama maupun dalam proses pengamalan ibadah.

Kemajuan teknologi dan informasi dewasa ini turut memberikan berbagai dampak positif dan negatif terhadap penyampaian sebuah  pesan melalui media. Dimana pesan atau informasi yang ingin disampaikan melalui media  sangat cepat untuk di ketahui khalayak. Terlebih pada media massa, informasi tersebut menyebar diberbagai media massa seperti facebook, instagram, twitter, whatsapp, berita online tanpa proses filterisasi sebuah pesan. Padahal kebenaran dari sebuah pesan akan mempengaruhi fikiran, emosi dan kepercayaan seseorang atau sekelompok orang dalam bertindak. Apabila pesan atau informasi tersebut berisi nilai kebohongan (hoax) maka akan mempengaruhi kredibilitas sebuah media sebagai alat untuk menyampaikan sebuah pesan atau informasi. Sehingga media yang dalam hal ini bertindak sebagai perantara akan terancam reputasinya dan kepercayaan dari komunikan atau publik sebagai sebuah alat.
