Published: May 2022

O presente estudo tem como objetivo geral compreender as perspectivas das/os assistentes sociais do Núcleo Ampliado de Saúde da Família e Atenção Básica (NASF-AB) do município de Iguatu-CE quanto à utilização da educação em saúde como instrumento de trabalho do Serviço Social. O processo de pesquisa deu-se por meio de pesquisa de campo com abordagem qualitativa; utilizou-se como técnica de coleta de dados entrevistas semiestruturadas e as informações coletadas foram analisadas e sistematizadas com base na técnica de análise de conteúdo. A partir dos achados da pesquisa, evidenciam-se algumas potencialidades quanto à utilização da educação em saúde, tais como: o fato de constituir espaços potentes no processo de desconstrução do modelo de saúde medicalocêntrico; proporcionar um ambiente de troca e construção de saberes junto aos usuários quanto às diversas formas de cuidado; o seu importantíssimo papel no incentivo à organização e participação popular, entre outras. No que se refere especificamente ao uso da educação em saúde como instrumento técnico-político do serviço social, viu-se que essas práticas dialogam diretamente com a dimensão pedagógica da profissão, bem como com o projeto ético-político do serviço social, na medida em que se busca construir uma educação em saúde emancipatória, baseada no respeito da autonomia dos sujeitos.

Published: May 2022

O presente trabalho analisa quais os mecanismos utilizados para persuadir a classe trabalhadora a acreditar no projeto do capital para a sociedade. As parcerias entre o público e o privado configuram-se como serviços oferecidos e passam a ser consideradas da esfera pública não estatal, descentralizando responsabilidades, diminuindo os gastos com a classe trabalhadora e repassando o que seria utilizado para as mãos dos empresários que terceirizam os serviços prestados. Considera-se que o investimento na formação de profissionais “capacitados” ao nível de compreender aquilo que a empresa exige é a pedra basilar nesse negócio lucrativo filantrópico. Todavia, essa iniciativa denota uma direção oposta aos interesses populares e emancipatórios.

This study was conducted in a poultry farm belonging to the private sector, which has a license to practice a profession issued by the Ministry of Agriculture, the Department of Livestock Resources, in the city of Nasiriyah, Dhi Qar Governorate. This experiment aimed to study the effect of partial replacement of raw rice bran and treatment with HCL acid, bakery yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), and ascorbic acid in place of wheat on the productive performance of broilers. For the period from 28/9/2020 to 11/8/2020, 405 unsexed chickens were used—Ross 308 at the age of two weeks. The study included nine treatments, whereby (25 and 50) percent of raw rice bran and treated were replaced and inserted into the diets of broilers 15 days after the rearing. In addition to the control treatment, the results of the experiment showed: There were no significant differences between (T1) and the replacement treatments for raw rice bran with their percentages of 25% and 50%, as well as the replacement treatment for rice bran treated with bakery yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) by 25% and replacement treatment treated with ascorbic acid by 50% in the average live body weight and weight gain at the end of the experiment. Also, there were no significant differences between the replacement treatments for raw bran and the treatment in the cumulative feed intake trait compared to (T1). The treatment of rice bran treated with yeast with a replacement rate of 25% achieved the best feed conversion factor, No significant differences (P < 0.05) were recorded between the 25% substitution treatments for the raw and treated rice bran compared to the control in the feed conversion factor trait, Furthermore, treatment of T2 (raw rice bran 25%) instead of wheat was superior in the Dressing percentage (%)and relative breast weight, Also, no significant differences were recorded in the percentage of fatalities. The 25% treatment of rice bran treated with bakery yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) achieved the highest significant value (P<0.01) for the economic indicator and production index. And it did not differ significantly from the control treatment and the replacement treatment for raw rice bran by 25%.

Published: May 2022

The situation facing countries around the world is recognized as having a profound impact on the well-being of the population. Thailand's agricultural problem is a problem that causes farmers to lack a place to eat, struggle to work in large quantities, be in debt, can't rely on themselves to do less, because of monocropping, no innovation application, no productivity. Enough to improve the quality of life. For this reason, the genius of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej gave a new theory on small-scale management, emphasizing sustainable self-sufficiency through proper farm management. To be able to support themselves, earn income, and food for consumption is a sustainable farming practice. So, this research is objective; (1) To study the application of innovation to improve the quality of life in the community according to The new theory of the Khok Nong Na model. (2) To study the factors influencing the application of innovation to improve the quality of life in the community according to the new theory of the Khok Nong Na model. (3) To study the development guidelines for the application of innovation to improve the quality of life in the community according to the new theory of the Khok Nong Na model. This research was held in Udon Thani Province. The sample group answered the questionnaire 400 people and interviewed 10 people. Quantitative data using descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis data from in-depth interviews using content analysis methods.
Increasing Prevalence of Adolescent Suicide in Developing Countries: Public Health Prevention Strategies
Authors: Asogwa Emmanuel U. , Ekechukwu Rosemary O
Published: May 2022

The increasing suicide morbidity and mortality rates among the adolescent has become a serious human tragedy of great public health concern. Many facets of suicide such as suicide ideation, intent, attempt, ambivalent, gesture, equivalent, and completion are prevalent among this group of people due to their developmental characteristics in an unsupportive cultural and socioeconomic environment, especially in developing countries. Adolescents may at one point or another perceive suicide as a permanent answer to problems, often due to self-doubts, conflict with older ones like parents, fears, confusion, stress, and pressures to succeed or conform while growing up. Due to the fact that suicide is preventable but very difficult to be predicted accurately, it becomes expedient to start to concentrate efforts on identifying, and enhancing suicide protective factors among this age group, and devising and advancing various public health prevention strategies apart from the conventional psychic-medical approaches to stem the tides of suicide among them, especially in developing countries. This study reviews prevalence of suicide among adolescents in developing countries, and proffers public health-based prevention strategies, which, if properly programmed and implemented would be effective in the containment of this public health problem in different settings.

Published: May 2022

Several studies have demonstrated that stigmas of Crocus sativus contain several bioactive compounds with potential health-promoting properties. However, during the processing of stigmas, large amounts of floral bio-residues are normally discarded as by-products. In this study, using untargeted metabolomics, the comprehensive phytochemical composition of C. sativus stigma and tepals was investigated. Moreover, the antibacterial and anti-biofilm properties of the extracts of C. sativus stigmas and tepals were compared. The study was carried out using two methicillin-resistant staphylococcal reference strains (i.e., Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 43300 and Staphylococcus epidermidis ATCC 35984), representing important Gram-positive biofilm-forming human pathogens. The antibacterial properties were correlated with total polyphenol content, total terpenoid content, and in vitro antioxidant properties of tepals and stigmas. The results demonstrated that stigma and tepal extracts, at the sub-toxic concentrations, were able to interfere with biofilm formation by ATCC 43300 and ATCC 35984. Besides, the higher antibacterial activity of tepals than stigmas was associated with higher levels of phycompounds. Therefore, our results demonstrated that C. sativus stigmas and bio-residues, such as tepals, are potential antioxidant sources and good candidates as antibacterial agents to prevent biofilm formation. Taken together, these findings showed that C. sativus could be used as functional ingredient by the food and pharmaceutical industries.

Published: May 2022

Objectives

Identifying the causative bacterial pathogen for children with acute hematogenous musculoskeletal infections (MSKIs) allows for improved care. The purpose of our study was to determine if clinical markers could predict which patients will have a causative pathogen found on source culture alone, thus being highest yield to undergo operative diagnostic procedures.

Methods

A single-center, retrospective cohort study was performed. Medical records for patients between 6 months and 18 years of age admitted between July 2014 and September 2018 with a discharge diagnosis of acute osteomyelitis, septic arthritis, or pyomyositis were reviewed. Patients were stratified based on results of blood and source cultures. Predictors of interest were screened on a univariable basis with significant predictors retained in a multivariate analysis.

Results

There were 170 patients included. No predictors were significantly associated with increased odds of having a causative pathogen found on source culture alone. Degree of C-reactive protein elevation and history of fever were associated with decreased odds of being source culture positive, OR (95% CI); 0.92 (0.87, 0.98) and 0.39 (0.19, 0.81), respectively.

Conclusions

Predictive modeling failed to identify children with MSKIs whose causative pathogen was found by source culture alone. It is difficult to predict which MSKI patients will be highest yield for operative diagnostic procedures.

Authors: Leyva-Moral Juan M. , Aguayo-González Mariela , San Rafael-Gutiérrez Sabiniana , Gómez-Ibáñez Rebeca
Published: May 2022

Objectives

To assess health sciences students’ satisfaction with narrative photography with an expert patient as an empathy-fostering teaching method.

Methods

Nineteen students from a public medical sciences university in Barcelona (Spain) voluntarily completed six online training sessions using narrative photography and expert patient. Data were collected using an anonymous online satisfaction questionnaire verified by experts, including 29 quantitative and qualitative questions that were analyzed descriptively.

Results

Eighteen valid questionnaires were obtained (90% response rate). All students evaluated the teaching method as highly satisfactory. The main positive aspects of the teaching method were being able to express one’s emotions and reflections. Students felt the activity enhanced their empathy and helped them minimize their prejudices, specifically to patients living with HIV. Students also evaluated the online format as less optimal than if it were delivered in person.

Conclusion

The students found the teaching method to have a personal and professional impact, which facilitated the integration of empathy in their daily practice when caring for people living with HIV.

Published: May 2022

Objectives

Lockdown during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic generated uncertainty regarding its effects on the control of type 1 diabetes (DM1). Our study aims to evaluate the influence of the pandemic on the control of paediatric patients with DM1.

Methods

Longitudinal, retrospective, observational study in patients with DM1 attended between 15/10/2019 and 15/03/2020. Data were collected at that visit and at the three subsequent visits. The second was remote in 50% of cases. The variables analysed were: type of insulin therapy, time in range (TIR), time in hypoglycaemia (THypo), time in hyperglycaemia (THyper), coefficient of variation (CV), glycosylated haemoglobin, insulin requirements and anthropometric data.

Results

157 patients were recruited. At the post-lockdown visit, the TIR increased and the THyper decreased with respect to the first (p<0.00) and second (p<0.00) visits. Patients treated with subcutaneous infusion showed a higher TIR at the third visit (p=0.03) and lower insulin requirements at the fourth visit (p=0.03) compared to patients treated with multiple doses. Patients with a remote visit presented a higher TIR (p<0.00), a lower THyper (p=0.00) and lower insulin requirements (p=0.01) at the next visit. Patients aged less than 6 years presented a lower glycosylated haemoglobin (p=0.01) and insulin requirements at the third (p=0.03) and fourth (p=0.01) visits, and a lower increase in body mass index (p=0.03) over the year.

Conclusions

Metabolic control improved at the post-lockdown visit. Patients treated with subcutaneous infusion, those who had a remote visit during strict lockdown and those aged less than 6 years had a better evolution.
Prospective risk of stillbirth according to fetal size at term
Authors: Agarwal Umber , Hugh Oliver , Gardosi Jason
Published: May 2022

Objectives

Fetal growth and size are associated with stillbirth risk. We wanted to investigate the week by week predictive value of fetal size at term on the prospective risk of stillbirth.

Methods

Anonymised database from the UK GAP program, with 2,094,702 term (≥37 weeks) deliveries including 4,670 stillbirths. Prospective stillbirth risk was defined as fetal death in the current week divided by total undelivered pregnancies. The data were analysed in five centile bands for stillbirth risk and risk ratios (RR) for 38, 39, 40 and 41+ weeks, using appropriate for gestational age (AGA) at 37 weeks as reference.

Results

Baseline stillbirth risk at 37 weeks was 0.29 per 1,000 and rose to 1.39 at 41+ weeks, with RR increasing to 4.8. In the 3<10 centile band risk rose from 0.72 to 2.43 over the same period, with RR increasing from 2.5 to 8.4. In the <3 centile group, the stillbirth risk rose from 1.62 to 6.16 (RR (5.6 to 21.2). In the 97>90 centile band, risk increased from 0.40 to 1.50 (RR 1.4 to 5.2) and for >97 centiles, it rose from 0.80 to 2.13 (RR 2.8–7.3).

Conclusions

Prospective risk of fetal death at term is related to fetal size. The information provided, together with other considerations and results of investigations where available, will help clinicians to determine the advice to give to mothers about the best timing for delivery, balancing the baby’s risk of compromise with iatrogenic sequelae of early delivery.
HPA-ZSM-5 nanocomposite as high-performance catalyst for the synthesis of indenopyrazolones
Authors: Ebrahimi Seyyed Mohammad , Safaei-Ghomi Javad , Mutashar Mohammaed Abdulridha
Published: May 2022

tHPA-ZSM-5 nanocomposites as a superior catalyst have been applied for the synthesis of indenopyrazolones through a three-component reaction of phenylhydrazine, benzaldehydes, and indan-1,2,3-trione at room temperature in acetonitrile. The zeolite catalyst has been characterized by X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electronic microscopes, Fourier transform infrared, energy-dispersive spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and N2-adsorption analysis. The various aromatic aldehydes can be utilized in this method. These results showed that aromatic aldehydes with electron-withdrawing groups reacted faster than aldehydes with electron-releasing groups. Experimental simplicity, excellent yields in short reaction times, reusability of the catalyst, and low catalyst loading are some of the substantial features of this method.
Bengali nasal vowels: lexical representation and listener perception
Authors: Kotzor Sandra , Wetterlin Allison , Roberts Adam Charles , Reetz Henning , Lahiri Aditi
Published: May 2022

This paper focuses on the question of the representation of nasality as well as speakers’ awareness and perceptual use of phonetic nasalisation by examining surface nasalisation in two types of vowels in Bengali: underlying nasal vowels (CṼC) and nasalised vowels before a nasal consonant (CVN). A series of three cross-modal forced-choice experiments was used to investigate the hypothesis that only unpredictable nasalisation is stored and that this sparse representation governs how listeners interpret vowel nasality. Visual full-word targets were preceded by auditory primes consisting of CV segments of CVC words with nasal vowels ([tʃɑ̃] for [tʃɑ̃d] ‘moon’), oral vowels ([tʃɑ] for [tʃɑl] ‘unboiled rice’) or nasalised oral vowels ([tʃɑ̃(n)] for [tʃɑ̃n] ‘bath’) and reaction times and errors were measured. Some targets fully matched the prime while some matched surface or underlying representation only. Faster reaction times and fewer errors were observed after CṼC primes compared to both CVC and CVN primes. Furthermore, any surface nasality was most frequently matched to a CṼC target unless no such target was available. Both reaction times and error data indicate that nasal vowels are specified for nasality leading to faster recognition compared to underspecified oral vowels, which cannot be perfectly matched with incoming signals.

The advent of high frequency communication era presents new challenges for further development of dielectric polymer materials. In the field of communication, efficient signal transmission is critical. The lower the dielectric constant of the dielectric material used, the lower the signal delay and the higher the signal fidelity. The preparation of polymer materials with low dielectric constant or reduce the dielectric constant of polymer materials becomes a key research topic. Summarizing past progress and providing perspective, this paper primarily discusses the intrinsic low dielectric polymers, fluorine doped low dielectric polymers, and microporous low dielectric polymers, while predicting the research trend of low dielectric materials.

Le Scouarnec, J, Samozino, P, Andrieu, B, Thubin, T, Morin, JB, and Favier, FB. Effects of repeated sprint training with progressive elastic resistance on sprint performance and anterior-posterior force production in elite young soccer players. J Strength Cond Res 36(6): 1675–1681, 2022—This study aimed to determine whether repeated sprint training with progressive high elastic resistance could improve sprint performance and anterior-posterior (AP) force production capacities of elite young soccer players. Seven elite U19 soccer players underwent 10 sessions of elastic-resisted repeated sprints on 8 weeks, whereas 8 U17 players from the same academy (control group) followed the same protocol without elastic bands. Sprint performance and mechanical parameters were recorded on a 30-m sprint before and after training. The control group did not show change for any of the measured variables. In contrast, the elastic-resisted training resulted in a significant improvement of the sprint time (−2.1 ± 1.3%; p = 0.026; Hedges' g = −0.49) and maximal velocity (Vmax; +3.9 ± 2%; p = 0.029; Hedges' g = 0.61) reached during the 30-m sprint. These enhancements were concurrent with an increase in the maximal power output related to AP force (Pmax; +4.9 ± 5.1%%; p = 0.026; Hedges' g = 0.42). Although the theoretical maximal AP force (F0) remained unchanged in both groups, there was a medium but nonsignificant increase in theoretical maximal velocity (V0; +3.7 ± 2.5%; p = 0.13; Hedges' g = 0.5) only in the elastic group. Therefore, the present results show that sprint capacity of elite young soccer players can be further improved by adding incremental resistance against runner displacement to raise the ability to produce AP force, rather at high velocity in the final phase of the acceleration.
CENTENARY OF THE RAPPAL TREATY: ANNIVERSARY IN THE CONDITIONS OF THE CRISIS OF ECONOMIC RELATIONS BETWEEN RUSSIA AND GERMANY
Authors:   Institute of Europe, Russian Academy of Sciences, Kotov Alexander
Published: May 2022

April 16, 2022 marks the 100th anniversary of the Treaty of Rapallo, concluded between Russia and Germany during the Genoa Conference. His fate and role is still controversial. Particular attention is paid to the «spirit of Rapallo» – a realistic and pragmatic idea of peaceful development in the context of today’s increased politicization and curtailment of Russian-German economic relations. We consider that following a direct decrease in mutual trade the very significance of Russian-German economic cooperation is further underestimated emotionally and subjectively. Based on a cross-country cross-sectoral analysis, the paper analyzes the interdependence of the key economies of Russia and Germany are presented. We identified the key import positions of both countries. It is emphasized that a purely quantitative calculation of the reduction of ties may be insufficient, since it does not take into account the cascading economic effects generated from supply chains. Using results of surveys of the German business community, we assessed the strength of the sanctions measures introduced with the active support of Germany against Russia regarding the disconnection from the SWIFT system, the freezing of financial accounts, the measures introduced against the Central Bank of Russia – up to the freezing in principle of economic relations between countries are presented. The author concludes that the anniversary of the Rapallo Treaty, for objective reasons of the military-political situation, remained in the shadows and cannot again put forward considerations for constructive cooperation. Most likely, in the expert community, a reference to it may have an impact on western companies in order to prevent a complete break in business relations with Russian companies.
FINLAND AND SWEDEN ON THE THRESHOLD OF NATO’S OPEN DOOR
Authors:   Institute of Europe, Russian Academy of Sciences, Danilov Dmitry
Published: May 2022

The article examines the NATO «open door» policy in connection with the aggravated security dilemma and the strategic choice of Finland and Sweden. The socio-political moods in both countries that changed with start of the Russian special forces in Ukraine – towards choosing to join NATO and, accordingly, abandoning the traditional policy of non-alignment, became one of the key disturbing trends within the European security system and architecture. NATO’s interest in Finland and Sweden making a decision to join the alliance puts them in a situation of tough choice, which rather cannot be postponed, but carries really high challenges and risks both for these countries and for the development of the military-political situation in Europe, including the risks of Russia – NATO escalation. The article shows that the problem of the status of Finland and Sweden in relations with NATO is not solely a consequence of the current escalation of the Ukrainian conflict. Scenarios for their entry into the alliance have been considered since at least the middle of the last decade, in connection with fundamental changes in Europe as a result of the Ukrainian crisis of 2014. Now both states must take into account, on the one hand, the «new norm» in Europe to which the alliance is appealing, as well as the risks of being left without a NATO umbrella in the event of a confrontational developments and crises, and on the other hand, other political and military risks owing to potential joining NATO option, which could undermine sovereignty and security of both.
FRANCE-2022: THE DIVIDED SOCIETY AND RESHAPING OF POLITICS
Authors:   Saint Petersburg State University, Chikhachev Aleksei
Published: May 2022

This article discusses the results of French presidential election held on 10 and 24 April 2022. It is noted that electoral campaign has developed against the background of further fragmentation of the society, its transformation into a kind of «archipelago» with numerous internal confrontations. Yet, despite the series of crises during his presidency, Emmanuel Macron managed to maintain the support of high classes, which, along with a well-elaborated election strategy, allows him to be re-elected for the second term. At the same time, the expansion of the positions of Marine Le Pen, who consolidates her status as a main political force on the right flank and struggles for the electorate in so-called «popular» classes outside of large cities, is explored. Also, Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s result proving a certain popularity of far left agenda in France is noted, as well as the failure of mainstream parties. The author concludes that at this stage French political spectrum corresponds to a three-pole model, which for a number of reasons, however, may not be reproduced at the upcoming elections to the National Assembly in June. In any case, Macron’s second term will be difficult both in home and foreign policy terms. But for Russia, his re-election, even with some ambivalence in presidential approach to bilateral relations with Moscow, is likely to be a quite good scenario.
UKRAINIAN REFUGEES IN THE EU: A NEW MIGRATION CRISIS?
Authors:   Institute of Europe, Russian Academy of Sciences, Potemkina Olga
Published: May 2022

The article analyses the prerequisites for a new migration crisis that may break out in the European Union due to an unprecedented influx of migrants. The author notes that the EU has been preparing for emergencies of this kind and has succeeded in a number of initiatives. The Council took a quick decision to activate the 2001 «Temporary Protection Directive», the Commission established a «solidarity platform» to exchange information about arriving people from Ukraine, the EU Agencies used their new powers to take more active actions to accept «temporarily protected» and provide them with the necessary means for living, medical care, access to education. However, the author points out that the main challenges for the EU and the Member States are still ahead. The principals of the new arrivals’ distribution among Member States have not been set. The «solidarity mechanism», which the countries of Central and Eastern Europe have opposed more actively than the others, has not been agreed within the framework of the Pact of Migration and Asylum. The beginning of migrants’ summer travel season from Africa and the Middle East may aggravate the situation. The author believes that although it is too early to talk about a new migration crisis, the lack of resources and infrastructure to accept a new migration wave does not contribute to strengthening the solidarity of the Member states and can entail negative consequences.
2022 PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS IN HUNGARY
Authors:   Institute of Europe, Russian Academy of Sciences, Shishelina Lyubov
Published: May 2022

The Hungarian parliamentary elections of 2022 for the fifth time in the recent history of the country brought victory to the FIDESZ party, including the fourth with a constitutional majority of 2 /3 of parliamentary mandates. At the same time, during the current election campaign in Hungary, the system of preliminary election of a single candidate (by the type of primaries) among opposition parties and movements was tested for the first time. However, this did not save the multi-party coalition from another failure. Nevertheless, the recent elections have further strengthened the trend towards the formation in Hungary, as in a number of other Central European countries, of a two-party political system with a small layer of a «third force». The surprise of the elections was the passage to Parliament of the extreme nationalist party «Our Fatherland», which partially broke away from the Jobbik party after the 2018 elections. Now, within the walls of parliament, former right-wing radical party members will meet with the renewed Jobbik party, which performed in the last elections in a coalition with left-liberal forces. This campaign took place against a very unfavorable international background – the war in Ukraine and increased pressure on Hungary from Brussels and from neighboring states that do not agree with the aspirations of the Orban cabinet to prevent the use of Hungarian territory for military purposes. This circumstance made the task extremely difficult for Viktor Orban, the permanent leader of the FIDESZ party since its foundation, and at the same time played in favor of the opposition, as another reason for criticism of the foreign policy pursued by the Prime Minister, a significant element of which since 2011 has been the strengthening of pragmatic relations with Russia.
Working in close quarters: biparental meiosis in the oocyte
Authors: Bouftas Nora , Wassmann Katja
Published: May 2022

In vitro fertilization (IVF) methods involve fertilizing haploid oocytes arrested in meiosis II with haploid sperm. An experimental IVF method had been developed in mice involving injection of diploid sperm nuclei into equally diploid oocytes (biparental meiosis) to increase the chance of reproduction in cases where haploid sperm cannot be obtained. However, this method had been shown to be highly error prone. In this issue of EMBO Reports, Ogonuki et al show that reducing ooplasm volume by half reduces the segregation errors and increases the likelihood of producing viable offsprings in mice (Ogonuki et al, 2022).

Unexpected cure of a toxic nodule in a multinodular goiter induced by immune checkpoint inhibitors: a case report

Published: May 2022

Introduction

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) are used to treat cancers including metastatic melanomas and can induce endocrine side effects. The thyroid is frequently affected with classically transient thyrotoxicosis followed by hypothyroidism. The evolution of thyroid nodules and goiters under ICI therapy is poorly described.

Case presentation

A 72-year-old male presenting with hyperthyroidism due to a toxic nodule in a multinodular goiter (MNG) started ICI therapy combining ipilimumab and nivolumab to treat metastatic melanoma. After an initial worsening of thyrotoxicosis, treated with carbimazole, he developed profound hypothyroidism, persisting after carbimazole discontinuation, needing a long-term levothyroxine supplementation. Ultrasound control performed 6 months after ICIs treatment initiation revealed diffuse thyroid atrophy with involution of all nodules. 123I-scintigraphy confirmed a destructive mechanism.

Discussion

The evolution of MNG and toxic nodules is poorly described in patients treated with ICI since systematic US evaluations are lacking. We describe for the first time a toxic nodule cured by ICI therapy inducing destructive thyroiditis.

Conclusion

Pre-existing nodules and MNG, even if toxic, are not a contraindication for ICI treatment provided the patients are carefully monitored.

Electronic and phonon band structure, thermodynamic and optical properties are studied for the CdTe crystal. We calculated the electron and phonon dispersion at high symmetry directions, density of electron and phonon state, temperature dependence feature of Raman spectra, heat capacity, free energy, entropy, enthalpy and Debay temperature estimated with the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). A Perdew–Burke–Ernzerhof functional (PBE) was utilized. To study the optical properties was use a complex dielectric function ε(ħω). All of the calculated parameters correlate well with the known experimental data.
