Ο ρόλος της επισκόπησης του χώρου incisura μέσω αρθροτομής, στην ορθή ανάταξη της κνημοπερονιαίας συνδέσμωσης στα κατάγματα ποδοκνημικής
Authors: Ρόζης Μελέτιος
Published: April 2024

Εισαγωγή: Η ρήξη της άπω κνημοπερονιαίας συνδέσμωσης αποτελεί συχνό εύρημαστα στροφικά κατάγματα της ποδοκνημικής εμφανίζοντας υψηλό ποσοστόσταθεροποίησης σε πλημμελή θέση. Ενώ έχουν προταθεί διάφορες ακτινολογικές λήψεις για τη διεγχειρητική επιβεβαίωσης της ορθότητας της ανάταξης, αποτελούν αντικείμενο διχογνωμίας λόγω της μεγάλης πιθανότητας σφάλματος και της υποκειμενικής ερμηνείας των αποτελεσμάτων. Για τον λόγο αυτό, επιχειρήσαμε να περιγράψουμε συγκεκριμένα ανατομικά στοιχεία και ανατομικές σχέσεις μέσω αρθροτομής και επισκόπησης του πρόσθιου χώρου του incisura fibularis και να ελέγξουμε το κατά πόσο αυτοί μπορούν να είναι αξιόπιστοι αναφορικά με την ορθή ανάταξη της άπω κνημοπερονιαίας συνδέσμωσης.Υλικά και Μέθοδοι: Η μελέτη απαρτίζεται από δύο φάσεις. Αρχικά υποβάλλαμε ασθενείς με αμφισφύρια κατάγματα ποδοκνημικής και κνημοπερονιαία αστάθεια σε εσωτερική οστεοσύνθεση μέσω της προτεινόμενης υπό έλεγχο χειρουργικής τεχνικής. Στη συνέχεια συγκρίναμε την ποιότητα της ανάταξης με τις φυσιολογικές αντίστοιχεςποδοκνημικές των ίδιων ασθενών, με αξονική τομογραφία. Στη δεύτερη φάση, η ασφάλεια και αποτελεσματικότητα της τεχνικής ελέγχθηκε στον γενικό πληθυσμό, σε ασθενείς που έφεραν στροφικά κατάγματα με κνημοπερονιαία αστάθεια. Οι ασθενείς τυχαιοποιήθηκαν σε δύο ομάδες και τα αποτελέσματα της προτεινόμενης τεχνικής (Ομάδα Α) συγκρίθηκαν με αυτά της τυπικής χειρουργικής αντιμετώπισης (ΟμάδαΒ). Στην αξιολόγηση, έγινε σύγκριση της αποτελεσματικότητας της ανάταξης μεταξύ των δύο τεχνικών. Αποτελέσματα: Κατά την πρώτη φάση της μελέτης, η ποιότητα της ανάταξης της κνημοπερονιαίας συνδέσμωσης συγκρίθηκε σε 40 ασθενείς με αναφορά τις υγιείς, αντίστοιχες ποδοκνημικές. Καμία από τις παραμέτρους που ελέγχθηκαν δε διέφερε σε στατιστικά σημαντικό βαθμό, ορίζοντας έτσι πως η προτεινόμενη χειρουργική τεχνική επιτυγχάνει ανατομική ανάταξη των καταγμάτων. Στη δεύτερη φάση, έγινε η σύγκριση μεταξύ της τεχνικής μας και της τυπικής προσπέλασης αναφορικά με την ανάταξη των καταγμάτων και της κνημοπερονιαίας αστάθειας. Η τυπική προσπέλαση κατέληγε σε στατιστικά σημαντική διαφορά της στροφής της περόνης σε σχέση με την ελεγχόμενη τεχνική. Επιπρόσθετα, υπήρχε η τάση οστεοσύνθεσης της περόνης σε βράχυνση συγκριτικά με τους ασθενείς της ομάδας Α. Τέλος, η κλινική αξιολόγηση των ασθενών της ομάδας Α ήταν σημαντικά καλύτερη σε όλα τα στάδια μετεγχειρητικού ελέγχου σε σχέση με τους ασθενείς της ομάδας Β. Συζήτηση: Η τροποποιημένη χειρουργική προσπέλαση και η ανάταξη της άπω κνημοπερονιαίας συνδέσμωσης μέσω των προτεινόμενων ανατομικών στοιχείων και σχέσεων, αποτελεί ασφαλή τεχνική που αποδείχθηκε αξιόπιστη και ανώτερη της τυπικής αντιμετώπισης. Μειώνει σημαντικά την ανάγκη διεγχειρητικής ακτινοβολίας ενώ οι ασθενείς που αντιμετωπίζονται με αυτόν τον τρόπο έχουν σημαντικά καλύτερηκλινική αξιολόγηση έως και το πρώτο μετεγχειρητικό έτος.

Authors: CB Muyise Rhona , Cresswell Fiona , Kwizera Richard , AO Laker Eva , C Owarwo Noela , B Meya David , Lamorde Mohammed
Published: April 2024

Background HIV remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Uganda. At current levels of antiretroviral therapy (ART) coverage, ART waste bottles are becoming a challenge to both patients and the environment in Uganda. Additionally, ART improperly disposed of in the environment can end up in the food chain and lead to antimicrobial resistance. We aimed to pilot a feasibility study of collecting and recycling the used ART pill bottles at a large urban HIV clinic in Kampala, Uganda. Methods Patients were first engaged randomly during their clinic visits and asked how they disposed of the waste medication bottles. Verbal information on proper disposal options of these medication containers was provided to patients. Patients and caretakers were then encouraged to return the waste medication bottles to the clinic at the time of their next appointment. Posters conveying information about bottle returns were displayed and information leaflets were distributed. Finally, recycling partners were engaged to explore options for the bottles. Results From the group oral engagements performed, patients reported that a means to discreetly dispose of pill bottles was welcome due to the stigma associated with these bottles in the community. They reported previously throwing these bottles in pit latrines, informal rubbish pits, nearby bushes and burning them, all methods that endanger the environment. The process of returning bottles was widely adopted. 53kg of returned bottles were recycled to make each bench that are used by patients in the clinic. Conclusions This pilot study showed a high willingness among people living with HIV to return their used pill bottles. Collecting, storing and recycling was feasible and successful at one large urban HIV clinic in Kampala, Uganda. We, therefore, recommend expanding this model to more HIV clinics country-wide to reduce the environmental impact of HIV programmes.

Dziecko polskie na emigracji w świetle literatury autobiograficznej. Dzieci Adama Mickiewicza i nie tylko
Authors: Waksmund Ryszard
Published: April 2024

Nurt pisarstwa autobiograficznego odwołującego się do przeżyć dziecka zapoczątkowała książka Marii Goreckiej Wspomnienia o Adamie Mickiewiczu opowiedziane najmłodszemu bratu (1875). Jako córka wielkiego poety pokazywała nie tylko obrazy z życia rodzinnego w Paryżu i wyjazdów z ojcem do Szwajcarii i Włoch, ale także informacje o odwiedzinach w ich paryskim mieszkaniu wielu wybitnych Polaków z kręgu Wielkiej Emigracji – Juliana Ursyna Niemcewicza, Ignacego Domeyki i Fryderyka Chopina. Nie pominęła postaci z tła, zwłaszcza weteranów powstania listopadowego. Najwięcej miejsca poświęciła rodzicom – wielkiemu ojcu, dbającemu o patriotyczne wychowanie dzieci, oraz matce, jego wiernej towarzyszce, której długa choroba i śmierć pogrążyły całą rodzinę w rozpaczy. W tym samym pamiętnym roku 1855 przeżyła także śmierć ojca, który zginął w odległej Turcji, dokąd na czele legionu polskiego wyruszał do walki z Rosją. Cennym uzupełnieniem są Wspomnienia jej brata Władysława, gdyż zarysowują one postać przywódcy diaspory paryskiej, księcia Adama Czartoryskiego, którego był chrześniakiem. W kręgu literatury emigracyjnej, w której bohaterem i narratorem jest dziecko, nie może zabraknąć także wspomnień autobiograficznych z XX w., m.in. Mateusza Tyrmanda i Tomasza Lema.
Uchodźcze dzieciństwo w Indiach we wspomnieniach Wiesława Stypuły
Authors: Chojnowski Zbigniew
Published: April 2024

W artykule jest postawiona teza, że Wiesław Stypuła w książce  W gościnie u „polskiego” maharadży (wspomnienia z pobytu w Osiedlu Dzieci Polskich w Indiach w latach 1942–1946) przezwycięża traumatyczne doświadczenia, które przeżył w Rosji Sowieckiej w latach 1940-1942. Przemiana stała się możliwa dzięki temu, że bohater wspomnień wraz z innymi polskimi uchodźcami zamieszkał w Polish Children’s Camp w Balachadi. Opiekę nad nimi objął polski, brytyjski oraz indyjski rząd. Szczególną rolę odegrał książę Nawanagaru Jam Sahib Digvijaysinhji Randźitsinhdźi, któremu autor okazuje wyjątkową wdzięczność. Autor wspomnień ma świadomość, że dzieci zawdzięczają ocalenie wielu ludziom i instytucjom. Narracja wspomnieniowa jest poprowadzona tak, aby czytelnik czytał ją  jako opowieść  o odzyskanym i podarowanym na powrót dzieciństwie. W książce zawiera się egzotyka, koloryt kulturowy, przyrodniczy i społeczny Indii. Autobiograf nasyca swoje wspomnienia elementami powieści podróżniczo-przygodowej. W książce występuje skłonność do idealizacji. Pamięć o dzieciństwie na uchodźstwie jest opowiadana z perspektywy członka społeczności, który mieszkał w Polish Children’s Camp. Życie we wspólnocie pozwoliło dzieciom odzyskać nie tylko zdrowie, lecz także osobistą i etniczną godność. Zapis autobiograficzny Stypuły jest rzadkim świadectwem uchodźczego losu, w którym uwzględniony jest punkt widzenia nastoletniego chłopca.

Authors: Klatka Urszula
Published: April 2024

Prezentowany artykuł jest przyczynkiem do tematyki relacji nawiązanych przez Beatę Obertyńską (1898-1980) w środowisku emigracyjnym. Elementami łączącymi kontakty poetki z Henrykiem Kujawiakiem, Jadwigą Morawską oraz Zofią Ilińską-Moseley są twórczość literacka oraz korespondencja jako płaszczyzna komunikacji. Wykorzystane źródła, głównie korespondencja, notatki i utwory pochodzące z Archiwum Beaty Obertyńskiej w Bibliotece Jagiellońskiej, pokazują próby odtworzenia przez B. Obertyńską życia literackiego rozumianego jako współtworzenie, wzajemne inspiracje oraz sugestie krytyczne. Poetka, próbując zrozumieć pisane kompulsywnie listy H. Kujawiaka, otwiera się na nowy język i wykorzystuje jego wizyjność w swoich utworach. Zaangażowanie Obertyńskiej w prace redakcyjne i przekładowe stały się elementami jej procesu twórczego. Fragmenty korespondencji pomagają również w rekonstrukcji biografii literackiej Z. Ilińskiej-Mosley oraz Konstantego A. Lubomla (właśc. Jadwigi Morawskiej).

Authors: Goldmann Katarzyna , Zawadzki Aleksander
Published: April 2024

The subject of this article is a financial sector analysis of companies operating in the IT industry whose shares are listed on the main and parallel markets of the Warsaw Stock Exchange. The analysis period covers the years 2018-2022, which includes the period of the COVID-19 pandemic. Opinions vary regarding the impact of the pandemic on the activities of the described industry. The aim of the article is to assess the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the financial situation of IT enterprises. The authors put forward 4 theses in the article: two regarding the impact of the pandemic on the financial situation of the examined industry, one stating the difference in the financial situation of companies listed on the primary and parallel markets (NC) and one stating the increase in the investment attractiveness of companies from the IT sector. The financial sector analysis of the IT industry in 2018-2022 allowed us to determine general trends in given analytical areas and confirm the theses. The determined statistical parameters show that the COVID-19 pandemic had a positive impact on the financial situation of IT sector companies listed on the Stock Exchange. The changes apply to most of the analyzed enterprises. The obtained results indicate differences in the financial situation of IT sector companies listed on the main market compared to the parallel market and an increase in the investment attractiveness of IT sector companies in the analyzed period. This article is a starting point for further research in the field of IT sector analysis, including determining or changing the market position of individual enterprises.
Board Independence and Earnings Stability: A Non-linear Perspective from Indian Companies
Authors: Potharla Srikanth , Kolpula Suman
Published: April 2024

This research examines the relationship between board independence and earnings stability in Indian companies. The study focuses on the BSE-500 index constituents, which represent 4,044 firm-years from 2011 to 2022, and aims to fill gaps in the literature by providing insights into how various board characteristics affect earnings stability. The study employs a novel non-linear approach that integrates Resource Dependency Theory (RDT) and Stewardship Theory to assess the impact of board independence on earnings stability. The study uses a quadratic regression model to examine the relationship between board independence and earnings stability, with earnings stability measured using the Return on Assets Consistency Ratio (ROACR). The findings indicate an inverted U-shaped relationship between board independence and earnings stability, suggesting there is an optimal level of board independence that maximizes stability in earnings. The study also explores other factors such as asset turnover ratio, institutional ownership, leverage, promoter holdings, and firm size. This research highlights the importance of balanced board composition and provides valuable insights for policymakers and practitioners aiming to optimize corporate governance structures for sustainable firm performance.
Tax Planning, Corporate Tax Avoidance and Real Earnings Management: GMM Approach in Nigeria
Authors: Shittu Saheed Akande , Alagbe Emmanuel Abiodun , Jimoh Olushola Rasheed
Published: April 2024

The study examines the effect of tax planning and corporate tax avoidance on Real Earnings Management (REM) in Nigeria. Data were gathered from the financial reports of 58 listed non-financial firms for twelve years, from 2010 to 2021. Preliminary analyses such as descriptive statistics, correlation matrix, and variance inflation factor were conducted. The Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) was employed to identify a possible effect on REM. The study revealed that tax planning has a positive and significant effect on REM, while corporate tax avoidance has a negative and significant influence on REM. Also, leverage revealed a negative significant effect on REM, while firm growth has no significant effect on REM. However, firm size has a significant positive influence on REM. The study concludes that tax planning and corporate tax avoidance have a significant influence on REM. Thus, the study recommends that tax authorities should ensure that firm management engages in lowering capitalization limits, ensures first-in, first-out instead of last-in, reduces nonobligatory expenses for short periods, and ensures moderate deferred tax expenses in order to reduce REM through tax planning.
Grammatical mood and assessment of support policy effectiveness
Authors: Bizon Wojciech , Poszewiecki Andrzej
Published: April 2024

Motivation: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on economic research, particularly in analyzing the effects of the virus on entire economies, specific sectors, and individual businesses. While there have been numerous studies on the pandemic’s impact on the labor market, various economic sectors, and the environment, there remains a gap in research exploring the relationship between economics and linguistic aspects, such as language.Aim: The purpose of this article is to address this research gap by examining the connection between language and economics. Specifically, the authors focus on the influence of linguistic variables on economic categories. In this study, the authors adopt the perspective that language can affect economic activities and aim to analyze how the grammatical form used in communication influences the assessment of the effectiveness of economic policy. By exploring this aspect, the article aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of the interplay between language and economics.Results: Authors show that language may also be an essential framing instrument, while various grammatical moods affect the perception of messages that concern economic issues differently and are perceived differently depending on the level of identification with a given policy.
Does money matter, and for whom: the importance of financial motivational factors among employees of banks in Poland
Authors: Markiewicz Magdalena , Leśniak Renata , Sokołowska Katarzyna
Published: April 2024

Motivation: The organisation’s approach to building human capital is an essential factor in the success of market entities, and it determines a competitive advantage in the market. Due to the challenges and various market changes that banks face, building an effectively motivated multigenerational employee team and understanding employee intrinsic and extrinsic motivation is very important.Aim: The paper aims to contribute to the literature and fill the research gap on the financial motivators available in banking and non-banking entities. The paper examines the role and importance of financial incentives, regularly used in the banking sector, in conjunction with a comprehensive analysis of their significance for representatives of different generations (X, Y, Z), gender, and career level in the sample of various institutions in the banking sector in Poland.Results: The paper outlines the opportunity to revise incentive systems in banking operations. The analysis was made twofold: firstly, within extensive desk research, and secondly, based on the empirical survey in the form of an individual research questionnaire carried out among 418 employees of various banks and companies from their capital groups just before the pandemic in 2020. The results were examined using statistical analysis, including non-parametric tests. We identified multiple respondents’ attitudes to motivational financial factors and classified their importance concerning generation, age, and organisational position. The study’s results indicate that generational and gender differences affect the perception of bank financial incentive tools. Some financial motivational factors regularly used in banks do not equally motivate employees, which leads to the conclusion that banking institutions should inevitably include generational and gender factors in their motivational approach to employees.
Effective concepts of management against the challenges of the modern world: Lean and Agile: competition or cooperation?
Authors: Milewski Dariusz , Milewska Beata
Published: April 2024

Motivation: For a long time, new strategies, concepts and solutions regarding both process management in enterprises and managing the supply chains have been presented in the literature and implemented in business practice. They are to be an alternative to existing concepts. Considerations regarding these concepts focus on the speed of adaptation to changing conditions in the environment, flexibility, diversification and reducing the risk of disruption. The justification for the implementation of new solutions are the conditions and challenges in the environment of enterprises, especially the Covid-19 pandemic, but also economic crises, wars, terrorism, natural disasters, changes in energy prices. An example of such a concept is the Agile strategy. According to some authors, this strategy is a competitive concept to Lean Management. Other authors believe that they are complementary and that there are opportunities to combine them and thus achieve a synergy effect.Aim: The aim of the article is to compare the effectiveness of Lean and Agile process and supply chain management strategies in conditions of environmental instability, based on literature review and own research.Results: Lean and Agile strategies can be combined to some extent. In addition, such a combination may prove to be more effective and more resistant to interference than using “clean” strategies. The result of proper application of both strategies are lower costs, better product quality, higher level of logistics service, greater customer satisfaction and employee involvement, and thus the trade-up effect.

Koncepcja strategii jakości noetycznych jako przykład metody projektowania wsparcia rozwoju odporności psychicznej dzieci i młodzieży
Authors: Jarosz Katarzyna
Published: April 2024

Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie autorskiej koncepcji strategii jakości noetycznych jako metody wsparcia rozwoju odporności psychicznej dzieci i młodzieży. Problem badawczy dotyczy odpowiedzi na pytanie: czy i w jaki sposób strategię jakości noetycznych można wykorzystać w profilaktyce jako metodę wsparcia rozwoju odporności psychicznej dzieci i młodzieży oraz jakie praktyczne implikacje wynikają z założeń strategii. W artykule zastosowano metodę analityczno-syntetyczną literatury przedmiotu.
Na podstawie opracowań literatury przedmiotu przeprowadzono analizę zależności pomiędzy noetycznym wymiarem osobowości a odpornością psychiczną oraz dokonano procesu konceptualizacji strategii jakości noetycznych. Przedstawiono miejsce i znaczenie autorskiej strategii w profilaktyce oraz określono praktyczne implikacje wynikające z jej założeń.
Z przeprowadzonych analiz wynika, iż jakości noetycznego wymiaru osobowości są czynnikami chroniącym dla jednostek w sytuacjach trudnych. Wyznaczone cele oraz mechanizm działania strategii jakości noetycznych opiera się na strukturze noodynamiki Kazimierza Popielskiego. Koncepcja strategii jakości noetycznych daje teoretyczne podstawy do poszukiwania wdrożeń praktycznych dla profilaktyki i logoprofilaktyki. Ukazuje ona sposoby wzmacniania i rozwoju osobowości w noetycznym wymiarze, co w znaczący sposób może przyczyniać się do wspierania rozwój odporności psychicznej jednostek. Może być ona wykorzystywana do budowy programów profilaktycznych skierowanych do dzieci i młodzieży.
The Brand Purpose of Educational Institutions: When the Resilience Story Does Matter
Authors: Serra Florensa Roser
Published: April 2024

Since its inception, corporate social responsibility has been associated with the corporate world: a socially responsible company. This concept has evolved and is now applied to brands; brands with a purpose have emerged. To continue having a positive impact on society, these brands must build a story, a narrative, that transmits and demonstrates these values. We are moving from storytelling to storydoing, from words to deeds. This model is applied in many sectors, but we focus on the field of education. Therefore, we analyze how educational centers, like companies, have a narrative purpose and explore the values that dominate their story. Can the value of resilience be found in the construction of the narrative of educational centers?
Karać czy wychowywać? Studentki prawa i resocjalizacji wobec demoralizacji nieletnich
Authors: Szczepaniak Aleksandra
Published: April 2024

Celem artykułu jest prezentacja ocen formułowanych przez studentki prawa i pedagogiki resocjalizacyjnej wobec hipotetycznych sytuacji odnoszących się do różnych aspektów związanych z nieletnimi sprawcami czynów zabronionych. W badaniach zastosowano metodę vignette. Objęto nimi 96 studentek. Studentki oceniały sześć epizodów przedstawiających hipotetyczne sytuacje, w których ukazana została demoralizacja nieletnich. Okazuje się, że studentki prawa nieznacznie częściej formułowały oceny, które pokrywają się z literą prawa, podczas gdy w ocenach studentek pedagogiki widać było elastyczność, która wyraża się w tym, że były one bardziej skłonne do dawania „drugiej szansy” nieletnim sprawcom czynów zabronionych.

Arthropod-borne infections, known as vector-borne diseases, are a significant threat to both humans and animals. These diseases are transmitted to humans and animals through the bites of infected arthropods. In the last half century, there have been a number of unexpected viral outbreaks in Middle Eastern countries. Recently, Iraq has witnessed an outbreak of the Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever virus with high morbidity and mortality rates in humans. However, very little is known about the prevalence and distribution of CCHFV in Iraq, and therefore, it is impossible to quantify the risk of infection. CCHFV is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected ticks. However, transmission can also occur through contact with the blood or tissues of infected animals during slaughter or through contact with contaminated objects or surfaces. Accidental crushing of infected ticks can also release the virus and lead to transmission. In addition, healthcare workers and family members caring for infected individuals are at risk of infection through exposure to contaminated body fluids and aerosols. There are still many unknowns about the role that vertebrates play in the upkeep and spread of CCHFV. Critical information for our comprehension of CCHFV ecology may be gleaned through experimental studies conducted on wild animals and cattle. Therefore, the purpose of this review is to draw attention to current studies and publications that shed light on the intricate dynamic between CCHFV, vector, and host and demonstrate how biosurveillance at each stage aids in our knowledge of disease transmission, risk, and future research prospects.

The experiment was carried out to establish diet formulations for beef cattle, with the main ingredients being sweet potato vines (SPV) and sweet potato tubers (type 3) (SPT). The experiment was arranged in a completely randomized design with three treatments and three replications with seven evaluation time points. The formulations with the same ratio of SPV and SPT (according to DM) were mixed with other ingredients such as rice straw, copra meal, extracted soybean, corn kernel, rice bran, salt, mineral premix, and urea. Treatments were evaluated for sensory and chemical composition at 1, 14, 28, 42, 56, 70, and 84 days after ensiling. The parameters to assess the nutritional content such as dry matter (DM), ash, crude protein (CP), crude fiber (CF), acid detergent fiber (ADF), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), and ether extract (EE). The pH values starting from 14 to 84 days of storage were all satisfactory for silage since there is a pH in the range of 4-4.5. The NH3 content in the same formulation over the fermentation times was not statistically significant (P>0.05). The assessment results of changes in nutritional content and sensory evaluation over time showed little change in the formulation; all three formulations met the standards of Fermented Total Mixed Ration (FTMR).

The effect of dietary cinnamon supplementation on the growth, haematology, serum biochemistry, intestinal microbiota and enzymes and histomorphological changes of the intestine, liver and kidney of juvenile heteroclarias (Clarias gariepinus ♀ Heterobranchus bidorsalis ♂) was assessed in a 56-day feeding trial. Five 38% crude protein experimental diets were formulated to contain a cinnamon powder that was included at a rate of 0% (DT1), 0.5% (DT2), 1% (DT3),1,5% (DT4) and 2% (DT5). Each diet was allotted to a triplicate group of fish (n=15 fish/ replicate tank 8.55± 0.12 cm average length) in a completely randomized design. There was a significant increase (p<0.05) in the growth performance parameters, haematological indices, antioxidant and hindgut enzyme activities with cinnamon supplementation. With DT4-fed having the highest values of these parameters. The cinnamon-fed groups all except the DT2-fed group had significantly (p<0.05) lower total cholesterol levels than the control group. When compared to the control group, the blood glucose, blood urea nitrogen and creatinine level in the cinnamon-fed group decreases significantly (p<0.05). The serum alanine aminotransferases (ALT) were statistically similar (p>0.05) among the dietary groups. Bacteria counts were heightened significantly (p<0.05) with cinnamon supplementation when compared to the control. The contrast was the results for fungi count with diversity indices in favour of DT4 dietary group. The amylase, cellulase and trypsin activity of the cinnamon-fed group was significantly (p<0.05) elevated when compared to those of the control group. The intestine, liver and kidney microstructures were well preserved with no features of injury recorded.

Hematological investigation is an essential tool for monitoring fish health. This research compared morphometric traits and blood cell characteristics between two representative pelagic fish species (Ambassis nalua and A. vachelli) and one benthic species (Inegocia japonica) collected from seagrass meadows off Libong Island in Thailand, where they coexist with human activity. Blood samples were collected and prepared using the smear technique. The erythrocytes of all observed specimens had elliptical or oval shapes. The benthic fish I. japonica significantly outperformed both pelagic fish in terms of the mean size of many erythrocyte features. However, more erythrocyte nuclear abnormalities were found in I. japonica, along with A. nalua. Lymphocytes made up the highest proportion of leukocytes in I. japonica, followed by neutrophils. The morphometric erythrocyte data of I. japonica possibly indicated the greater oxygen requirement of fish living in demersal habitats. The baseline parameters from the hematological data of the sampled fish will be used to monitor environmental quality.

African swine fever (ASF) is a highly infectious disease in pigs caused by the African swine fever virus (ASFV), which might result in 100% mortality. Pigs infected with ASFV might display different clinical and pathological features depending on virulence and host factors. This study aimed to determine features of clinical symptoms, macroscopic, and microscopic lesions of ASF in the Mekong Delta (MD), Vietnam during 2021–2022. The investigation was conducted following three fatal outbreaks of ASF in Hau Giang, Vinh Long, and Can Tho provinces, which are three central provinces out of thirteen in the MD. The spleen, lymph nodes, liver, kidney, and heart were collected from three infected pigs that displayed clinical symptoms of ASFV infection and confirmed the presence of ASFV by conventional PCR. The results indicated that infected pigs showed common clinical symptoms including high fever, anorexia, and moderate petechiae on the skin. Severe hemorrhage was observed in lymph nodes, spleen, kidneys, intestines, and gallbladders which were the main lesions during post-mortem examination. Microscopic lesions were characterized by lymphocytopenia, atrophy of lymphoid follicles in the immune system. However, distinct variations in clinical symptoms, macroscopic, and microscopic features among ASFV infection cases were not documented. This study provides a further understanding of the clinical presentation and pathological lesions caused by the ASFV strain circulating in the MD.

A four-year-old Russell’s viper-envenomed dog presented with severe azotemia and was diagnosed with acute kidney injury (AKI). Russell’s viper envenomation-induced AKI is highly fatal and medical treatment alone was insufficient. In the current case, intermittent hemodialysis (IHD) was implemented and was found to be highly efficient in removing uremic toxins from the bloodstream of the envenomed dog. After two dialysis sessions, the patient’s renal function levels were markedly improved and clinical signs at presentation were resolved. This case report describes the medical treatment and detailed guidelines for the management of IHD in a Russell’s viper-envenomed AKI dog for veterinarians who consider IHD a suitable therapy option for their patients.

This study supplements the gender determination methodology based on the relationship of some morphological indicators in Mystus albolineatus. A total of 229 specimens were caught by trawl nets at Cai Rang – Can Tho and Long Phu – Soc Trang in four months from April to July 2023. After collection, the samples were transferred to the laboratory to determine the total length (TL), standard length (SL), eye diameter (ED), eye distance (DE), body height (BH), head length (HL), and mouth diameter (MD) before surgery to determine the sex based on the gonad. The results showed that the TL-SL regression relationship could be used to determine the sex of this fish. Besides, TL-BH and TL-MD growth relations were relatively balanced in females versus males. In addition, based on SL, DE, and MD, it was also possible to determine whether the sampling time was the wet or dry seasons. These findings form the basis for the initial study of the biological characteristics of this fish in the Mekong Delta.

Pathogenic Escherichia coli (E. coli) is a significant foodborne pathogen that poses a serious global public health risk. These pathogenic strains of E. coli can be found in various environments such as soil, water, livestock, livestock products, and humans. This review aims to evaluate the role of livestock and the environment as potential sources and reservoirs of pathogenic E. coli in Malaysia over the past two decades. A systematic search was conducted on PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases using standardized keywords (Escherichia coli, Livestock, Abattoir workers, Farm workers, and Malaysia) to identify relevant original research articles published between 2001 and 2023 and our systematic review protocol was published in Prospero (Registration number: CRD42023433199). A total of 20 eligible articles were included in this review. The prevalence of multi-drug resistant E. coli among livestock production system and the environment, ranged from 4% to 100%. E. coli strains isolated from livestock production systems and environment in Malaysia exhibited high potential for pathogenicity, with diverse enterotoxins, genes associated with antimicrobial resistance, and virulence factors. Phylogroup B and D were noted among the E. coli isolates indicating that the strains in Malaysia are highly virulent and extra-intestinal. High levels of resistance to antimicrobials particularly ESBL and colistin which are last resort antimicrobials were noted. Butchering or processing of livestock, contamination of plants via contaminated waterways or livestock manure are the main sources and reservoir for E. coli to spread in Malaysia. Continued surveillance, monitoring and a comprehensive 'One Health' approach are recommended to effectively prevent and control livestock drug-resistant E.coli strains throughout the country.
