An Asian Perspective to the Problem of Osteoporosis
Authors: Koh L K H
Published: December 2024

Introduction: Most research into the problem of osteoporosis has been carried out in Caucasian populations. This review highlights emerging data from research on osteoporosis among Asians, and some differences from Caucasian data.

Methods: A non-systematic review of the English-language literature on various aspects of osteoporosis among Asian populations was carried out.

Results: Compared to Caucasian populations, epidemiological trends in Asian populations appear to be developing along similar lines, although rates of hip fracture do differ by country and ethnicity, and are generally lower. Bone mineral density (BMD) carries similar relevance with regard to fracture risk, although hip geometry is also believed to have some impact. Risk factors for osteoporosis and fractures are somewhat similar, although dietary factors seem to play a larger role as reported in Asian studies. A uniquely Asian self-assessment tool based on clinical factors has been developed to assist in case-finding of osteoporotic patients. The few intervention trials with hormone replacement, alendronate and parathyroid hormone appear to show similar responses between Asians and Caucasians, although the response to vitamin D analogs in Asians appears better. Some differences in gene polymorphisms between Asians and Caucasians exist, and these may impact on BMD and fractures via different gene-environment relationships.

Conclusions: Many aspects of osteoporosis in Asia appear similar to the West, but several interesting differences have emerged. These might lead to refinements in the strategies to manage osteoporosis within the Asian context.
Bone Fragility in Asian and Caucasian Men
Authors: Duan Y , Seeman E
Published: December 2024

Hip and vertebral fractures are a public health problem in men of Asian and Caucasian origin. Inferences regarding gender and racial/ethnic differences in fracture rates must be made cautiously as problems in case ascertainment and classification of hip fractures, and problems in defining what constitutes a vertebral ‘fracture’ have not been solved. However, methodological issues probably do not entirely account for the heterogeneity of fracture patterns. There is likely to be a wide variation in fracture rates from country to country in Asia as reported in studies in Europe. The reasons for this heterogeneity are unknown.

Authors: Tee W S N , Lieu P K , Ngan C C L
Published: December 2024

Introduction: Group G streptococcus (GGS) accounted for 8% to 44% of all bacteraemias due to beta-haemolytic streptococci according to various reports. The aims of this study were 1) to describe the epidemiology of GGS bacteraemia in Singapore for which local data are lacking and 2) to compare its frequency of isolation to the other Lancefield groups.

Patients and Methods: The study period was from 1 January 1996 to 30 June 1998. The laboratory records of 2 large acute care hospitals were examined. There was a total of 85 patients. The medical records of 52 patients were available for analysis. In addition, laboratory microbiological data from 1993 to 1999 were reviewed and the number of blood cultures that were positive for beta-haemolytic streptococci groups A, B, C and G was collated.

Results: The majority involved the elderly. The mean age was 67 years. The skin was the major portal of entry. Local conditions predisposing the skin to infection occurred in 40.4%. Co-morbidity included malignancies in 28.8% of patients, diabetes mellitus in 11.5% and liver disease in 9.6%. Mortality was 15.4% including fatal septic shock. Recurrent bacteraemia occurred in 5.8% of the patients. The majority (90.4%) were community-acquired infections. GGS, along with group B streptococcus (GBS), was the most common streptococcus among the beta-haemolytic streptococci causing bacteraemia in these 2 hospitals.

Published: December 2024

Introduction. The impact of the epidemic circulation of the novel coronavirus respiratory infection on the Russian population in terms of morbidity, mortality and lethality from respiratory diseases (RD) and consequent social damage requires an in-depth study.

Objective. The study set out to compare the morbidity, mortality and lethality dynamics of the total population of the Russian Federation due to respiratory diseases (RD) in 2016–2021 and COVID-19 in 2020–2021.

Materials and methods. The study was based on official statistical information provided by the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, Russian Federal State Statistics Service and Russian Federal Service for the Oversight of Consumer Protection and Welfare on the morbidity and mortality of the population due to RD (codes J00-J98 in accordance with the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, 10th edition (ICD-10). The data for 2020–2021 are compared with the average morbidity and mortality rates of the Russian population for 2016–2019. Statistical data processing was carried out using Statistica software, version 10, and Epi5 (WHO), version 7. When comparing the indicators, the relative risk, 95% confidence interval, and Matel-Hansel2 were calculated. The differences were considered to be significant at p < 0.05.

Results. The primary and general morbidity and mortality from RD in the Russian population in 2020–2021 exceeded the average levels of similar indicators for 2016–2019. The increase in indicators was associated with a larger number of patients presenting with pneumonia, as well as interstitial and suppurative lung diseases. This was accompanied by an increase in hospital mortality and lethality due to RD and COVID-19 in 2020–2021.

Conclusions. The epidemic circulation of the new coronavirus infection was accompanied by a significant increase in the morbidity and mortality of the population from RD.
Expression of genes SPI1 and GATA3 and Т-helpers subpopulation combination in chronically exposed people
Authors: Nikiforov V. S. , Kotikova A. I. , Akleyev A. V.
Published: December 2024

Introduction. The influence of adverse factors including ionizing radiation leads to a violation of key transcription factors expression and the ratio of the main types of T-helper cells, which in turn initiates a wide range of immunopathological disorders.

Objective. The objective of this research was to study the mRNA expression of the SPI1 and GATA3 genes, as well as the composition of T-helper type 1 and 2 subpopulations, in chronically exposed people during the period of radiation exposure late effects development.

Mаterials and methods. The study was carried out on peripheral blood mononuclear cells obtained from 98 residents of the Techa riverside settlements. Two study groups were formed: the group of exposed individuals (average accumulated dose for the red bone marrow radiation was 706.8±62.7 mGy) and the comparison group (radiation dose did not exceed 70 mGy). The median age of the studied individuals at examination was 71.1 ± 0.9 years (58–87 years). The relative mRNA content of the studied genes was assessed using real-time PCR. The number of T-helpers of types 1 and 2 in the populations of T-helpers of central and effector memory was calculated using the flow cytometry method.

Results. There was a decrease in the absolute and relative number of type 2 T-helpers included in the T-helpers of central memory in chronically exposed individuals. In people with accumulated doses ≥1000 mGy, an increase in the Th1/Th2 ratio of T-helpers of the central memory (p=0.01), as well as the positive correlation relationship between the relative content of type 2 T-helpers of the effector memory and the expression of the GATA3 gene were registered relative to unexposed individuals.

Conclusions. The obtained results indicate that changes in the composition of T-helper cell subpopulations in chronically exposed individuals are not pronounced in the long-term period. However, these changes may directly depend on the total absorbed dose, which in turn determines the prospects for further analysis of the health status of people exposed to chronic high-dose radiation.

Published: December 2024

Introduction. Exposure of the brain to high doses of ionizing radiation is an established risk factor for the development of neoplasms and associated cognitive disorders. However, the impact of long-term low-dose irradiation on the brain and higher nervous system, including the development of anxiety-depressive disorders, remains an unsolved problem.

Objective. To study the effect of fractionated gamma-irradiation in doses of 0.1 Gy, 1 Gy and 5 Gy in the early postnatal period on indices of depression-like states in C57Bl/6 mice at the age of 1 and 6 months.

Materials and methods. The animals were irradiated during the first month of life. Cumulative doses (0.1 Gy, 1 Gy and 5 Gy) were obtained in the mode of fractionated irradiation (20 fractions). 2 control groups were formed comprising intact animals and falsely irradiated animals. The presence of a depression-like state was evaluated in the “tail holding” test at the age of 1 month and 6 months.

Results. Age-related changes were manifested by a decrease in depression-like behavior in 6-month-old mice compared with 1-month-old mice. Stress induced by performing radiation-related manipulations, which had no significant effect on 1-month-old mice, led to the development of marked depression-like states in the same animals at 6 months of age. Radiation exposure led to the development of a dose-dependent antidepressant-like effect, which was more pronounced in animals at the age of 6 months after fractionated irradiation at doses of 0.1 Gy and higher.

Conclusions. Fractionated gamma-irradiation does not lead to the development of depression-like symptomatology in mice in the early postnatal period, but, on the contrary, is characterized by antidepressant action.

Published: December 2024

Introduction. Considering the risks of cardiovascular events during all phases of spaceflight (SF), it is relevant to evaluate the levels of cardiac markers sST2 and NT-proBNP in ground-based simulations of exposure to adverse SF factors.

Objective. To identify the levels of sST2 and NT-proBNP as risk criteria for the development of cardiovascular changes following end-to-end simulation of SF stages on the CF-18 centrifuge.

Materials and methods. The levels of cardiac markers sST2 and NT-proBNP were assessed during exposure to chest-to-back overloads of up to 4.5 units and simulated vestibular sensory conflict on a CF-18 centrifuge for 60 min in six healthy male subjects. The sST2 levels were assessed by solid-phase enzymelinked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). NT-proBNP concentration was measured by immunofluorescence method on a Finecare TM FIA FS-113 analyzer (from Guangzhou Wondfo Biotech).

Results. During the end-to-end simulation of SF stages, the response of the subjects’ cardiovascular system was adequate to the loads imposed. The levels of the cardiac markers sST2 and NT-proBNP in venous blood of the subjects did not significantly increase after spinning on the centrifuge.

Conclusions. In the present study, no significant changes indicative of biochemical signs of pathologic overstretching or myocardial damage were observed during rotation on the CF-18. Assessment of individual sST2 levels prior to exposure and in dynamics can be used to probabilistically predict individual sensitivity and adaptation reserves of the heart to unfavorable CP factors.

Published: December 2024

Introduction. A comprehensive approach to treatment of chronic prostatitis, representing a widespread and poorly treatable disease, includes the use of antibacterial, anti-inflammatory medicines, etc. In this context, a promising approach to the treatment of chronic prostatitis involves the use of bioregulatory peptides isolated from bovine prostate tissue.

Objective. To study the effect of cattle prostate extract containing bioregulatory peptides on the functional activity of lymphatic vessels.

Маterials and methods. The study was performed on isolated lymphatic vessels of rats. The range of studied concentrations of the substance was 2–10 µg/ mL (in terms of water-soluble peptides).

Results. Bioregulatory peptides included into the prostate extract impacts the vasomotor activity of lymphatic vessels. In the range of studied concentrations (2–10 µg/ml), the substance has a stimulating effect on lymphangion motility. This is realized by increasing the rate of lymphatic vessel contractions, which effect is most pronounced at the concentration of 5 µg/ml as a 37.6% (p ≤ 0.05) of base level. The obtained stimulating effect is stable during 30-min “washing” of lymphatic vessels with physiological solution.

Conclusions. Water-soluble bioregulatory peptides contained in the extract of cattle prostate and having organotropic action on the prostate gland may contribute to the reduction of tissue edema by activating the motility of pelvic lymphatic vessels.

This research examines the commoditized transformation of motherhood in the relationship between economy and culture in the era of social media (Fuchs, 2015a). This study questions the interconnectedness of the commodification process of content, audiences and workers (Fuchs, 2015b; Mosco, 2009; Ørmen & Gregersen, 2022) by focusing on micro-celebrity mothers (Abidin & Brown, 2019). This study focuses on mother micro-celebrities who commodify family life through the YouTube platform. Researchers focus on Indonesian mothers who are married to foreign nationals. Micro-celebrity mothers, based on observation, commodify the process of cultural exchange in the family as a form of informal work. The researcher examined the lives of micro-celebrity mothers, especially migrants without formal employment, to understand how social media features on the YouTube platform are useful in the commodification of daily life content. This research uses the content analysis method to look at the content of messages (Krippendorff, 2019) from a systematic and objective view of documentation. The results of this study show that the commodification of mother content is not only a domestic figure as an ideal childcare provider, but also a market actor who influences audience preferences, while bearing the burden of production and distribution as labor.

Authors:   Food Chemistry-Department of Pharmacy, Federico II, Geriatric Internal Medicine, Italy, G Tenore
Published: December 2024

The treatment of most patients with elevated blood pressure
requires drug therapy, as well as lifestyle measures to achieve
optimal blood pressure control. There are numerous side effects
resulting from the use of these drugs: from the persistent dry
cough of ACE inhibitors, to the headache, dizziness and tiredness
of CCBs, to the slow heartbeat and sleep disturbances of betablockers. Scientific research in recent years is focusing attention on
safer alternative therapeutic remedies, possibly of natural origin,
also in support of classic pharmacological therapies, in order to
reduce the doses of active ingredients and, consequently, their side
effects. The present project aims to clinically test a nutraceutical
product consisting of a formulation based on L-arginine and grape
pomace extract of the Aglianico cultivar microencapsulated into
maltodextrin. The formulation acts by: favoring the NO-soluble
GC (sGC)-cGMP pathway; with an antioxidant effect on the
heme group Fe+2, with a greater production of cGMP. The study
involves the enrollment of 80 patients in 3 internal medicine units
adhering to FADOI Campania. The treatment involves 1 tablet/
day. Project duration for each UOC: 80 days.
Pneumonia Caused by the Ascaris Lumbricoides: A Case Report
Authors:   Emergency Medicine Division, AORN San Pio Benevento (BN), Italy, Gabriella Coppola Maria
Published: December 2024

Background
Ascaridosis is widely spread in low-income countries because of
poor hygienic conditions. This parasitosis is rare in Italy and the
sporadic cases are reported in travelers from high-risk areas or
infestation conveyed by contact with canine stool.
Case History
A 58-year-old man with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(COPD) was admitted to the emergency Medicine Department
for acute respiratory failure. He had taken cortisone and
ceftriaxone at home for 10 days. Chest CT showed bilateral
multiple pericentimetric pulmonary nodulations. Abdomen CT
was normal. He complained of irregular alvus, so he performed
pancolonscopy, which showed the presence of actively moving
roundworms, so he was transferred to the Infectious Diseases
Department. Three coproparassitological samples were positive for
Ascaris lumbricoides. Blood exams were negative for peripheral
eosinophilia, at bronchoalveolar lavage fluid mild increased
eosinophils (6%). The patient was treated with albendazole 200
mg bid for three days with pulmonary and gastroenteric symptoms
resolution.
Discussion
Ascaris can localize to the gastric and pulmonary tracts according
to its life cycle, being able to cause eosinophilic pneumonia and
gastrointestinal infestations. In this case, we hypothesized that the
alveolar eosinophilia was not severe due to prolonged cortisone
therapy. Appropriate treatment leads to a hasty resolution [1, 2].

Authors: Adeoye Beatrice D. , Adebayo Olutayo A. , Owoeye Timilehin Peter
Published: December 2024

Globally ubiquitous, violence against women is a general threat that is often recognized by the victims' loved ones. Men in positions of authority, acquaintances, lovers, and other companions are all possible abusers. However, women are more susceptible to victimization at the hands of an intimate partner. Because of the topic's delicate nature, intimate partner violence is generally underreported; occurrences of such violence are typically not reported to the appropriate authorities. The study examined the prevalence of intimate partner violence in Ado-Ekiti and Ilogbo Ekiti which is a representation of a rural and urban area in the State. The study was carried out on 400 selected respondents in total, 200 respondents in each of the study areas. Data was collected through semi-structured questionnaires using the purposive sampling technique on 400 married respondents. The findings revealed that one out of every two (56%) respondents in the urban area had experienced intimate partner violence however the same could not be said about the rural area where (28%) had had the experience. The further revealed economic stress to be the most potent factor (70%) causing intimate partner violence in the urban area while patriarchy and rigid cultural practices are most cited (63%) in the rural area. In summary, the findings showed emotional pains as the highest consequence (62.5%) of intimate partner violence in the urban area and deteriorating physical health (68.5%) in the rural area   Consequently, the study recommends prompt speaking up by abused persons to relevant authorities; training and re-training of agencies who receive intimate partner violence complaints on globally acceptable gender-based response(s), especially in the rural areas.

Published: December 2024

Digital marketing training and the preparation of simple financial reports are important steps in increasing the capacity of MSMEs on the Indonesia-Malaysia border. The main objective of this activity is to help MSMEs understand and implement digital-based marketing strategies and simple financial management to strengthen business competitiveness. Before the implementation of the activity, the preparation process had been carried out for one month beforehand. This training was conducted using interactive lecture methods, live demos, and practical exercises with 20 MSME participants on Sebatik Island. The results of the training showed an increase in participants' understanding of digital platforms for marketing and the importance of attractive promotional content. Participants also showed enthusiasm in participating in the activities. In addition, simple financial training helped participants recognize the importance of routine financial records to monitor the financial condition of the business. The ability to prepare simple reports such as cash books and a basic understanding of digital financial applications began to be applied by participants. Based on these results, it is proposed that there be a sustainable mentoring program to support the implementation of consistent digital marketing strategies and financial management for MSMEs on the border. With the sustainability of mentoring, it is hoped that MSMEs can optimize their potential, increase market access, and strengthen local economic stability in border areas.

This study aims to explore the essence of the prayer of the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu'alaihi wa sallam in the Qur'an by analyzing various interpretations from scholars of related verses. This research is a qualitative study that uses a library research approach, also known as literature review. The thematic interpretation method (Maudu'i) with the Science of interpretation approach is used as a foundation for analyzing. Data were collected through direct recitation and study of Qur'anic verses as well as secondary literature relevant to the research topic. Data analysis is carried out descriptively to provide a clear picture of the object of research based on the collected data. The findings of this study show that the Prophet Muhammad's prayers in the Qur'an reflect a sincere form of worship to Allah as well as an expression of his total obedience to all His commandments, both to ask for His protection and to seek His pleasure. The Prophet's prayer begins with praise to God, is done without despair, with patience and firm hope, and is based on a deep sense of devotion to Him.

Introducción: Este artículo examina el trasfondo psicosocial de las madres solteras por elección en la Universidad Estatal de Milagro (UNEMI), explorando cómo estas mujeres construyen su identidad materna a partir del apoyo familiar y de la independencia económica y personal que encuentran en su entorno académico. Objetivo: Analizar las razones y experiencias de estas mujeres, así como los desafíos y beneficios de asumir la maternidad en solitario. Materiales y métodos: Se empleó una metodología cuantitativa con una muestra de 1,357 mujeres, incluyendo estudiantes y docentes de diversas facultades, y un cuestionario sobre el estado emocional de las madres solteras, complementado con análisis de correlación y el coeficiente Kappa para asegurar la validez. Resultados: Los resultados principales indican que la razón más común para elegir la maternidad en solitario es el deseo de cumplir el rol de madre, seguido por la búsqueda de autonomía y la evitación de relaciones conflictivas. Las participantes destacan ventajas como la libertad en la toma de decisiones y el control sobre su proyecto familiar, aunque también enfrentan consecuencias como el rechazo social y una carga de responsabilidad significativa al carecer de un compañero. Conclusión: se resalta la importancia del respaldo familiar y la necesidad de redes de apoyo que mitiguen el peso emocional y social de esta elección. Finalmente, se recomienda fortalecer los programas de apoyo psicológico y social, implementar políticas académicas de inclusión y sensibilización en la universidad, y fomentar redes de apoyo que promuevan un entorno favorable para la maternidad en solitario. Este estudio aporta a la comprensión de la maternidad por elección en el contexto académico, destacando cómo las mujeres construyen sus proyectos de vida de manera autónoma y en función de sus propios valores.

How Do Global Shocks Affect Australia?

Foreign or global economic and financial shocks can be significant drivers of economic outcomes in small open economies such as Australia, and are therefore a considerable source of uncertainty to the Australian economic outlook. Examining the extent to which global shocks affect the Australian financial system and economy and the channels through which these shocks operated over the 1990–2019 period, we find that global shocks drive considerable variation in the exchange rate and the cash rate, but a smaller proportion of variation in economic variables like real GDP. This suggests that, over our sample, the exchange rate and domestic monetary policy have effectively buffered the Australian economy from global shocks. Unlike some other recent literature on global spillovers, we do not find the Australian banking system to be a substantial channel of financial and economic spillovers to Australia.
