On the Issue of the Content of the Regulatory Powers of Public Authorities in Taxation
Authors: Vasilyeva Natalya
Published: December 2023

The author examines the problems of the content of the rule-making powers of representative bodies of public legal entities of the federal, regional and municipal levels in the field of taxation and fees. The article draws attention to the uncertainty of the terminological unit «establishing and introduction of tax», used to define the rule-making powers of public authorities, which led to differentiation the content of the powers to establish taxes and the powers to impose taxes. The author focuses on the different fixing of the tax rule-making powers of public authorities in the Constitution of the Russian Federation and in the legislation of the Russian Federation on taxes and fees. Based on the analysis of legislative provisions and theoretical views, the author defines and distinguishes «establishing tax» and «imposing tax» as tax rule-making powers. The establishing of the tax in the article is considered as the definition of the elemental composition of the tax by regulatory legal acts. The introduction of a tax is considered as a rule-making power, the content of which is the adoption and enactment of the relevant regulatory legal act determining the necessary provisions on a particular tax. The author analyzes the relationship between the tax rule-making competence of the Russian Federation and the public legal entities of the sub-federal level. The study showed that the main principles of the unity of the economic space and tax policy are the priorities in determining the powers of public authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and municipalities. In this connection, the tax rule-making powers of the authorities of the sub-federal level are characterized as derivatives of the powers of the federal center, existing within the limits established by the Tax Code of the Russian Federation.
Problems of Criminal Liability for Illegal Termination of Pregnancy
Authors: Zhivodrova Nadezhda
Published: December 2023

The article presents a comprehensive criminal law analysis of the illegal artificial termination of pregnancy on the basis of current Russian legislation, including criminal law. Currently, the legislation of the Russian Federation recognizes the right of a woman to an artificial termination of pregnancy within statutory period and manner prescribed by law. Termination of pregnancy should be carried out only by qualified specialists. Illegal conduct of this procedure entails criminal liability (Article 123 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). In the theory of criminal law, there has long been an opinion about the imperfection of the norms of this article, which complicates its enforcement, as well as the validity and fairness of penalties. It is noted that the criminal legislation of the Russian Federation regulating the illegal procedure of artificial termination of pregnancy is one of the most liberal in the world and does not take into account the provisions of regulatory acts of a medical nature that determine the procedure for artificial termination of pregnancy. The article analyzes scientists' opinions on problematic issues of the application of art. 123 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, official statistics on the number of abortions in Russia by year and age categories are given. The author conducts a comparative legal study of Russian and foreign legislation and, based on the analysis carried out, makes suggestions for its improvement by integrating certain provisions of the legislative experience of foreign countries into national legislation. Finally, the author makes the conclusion that it is necessary to amend the definition of the subject and crime objective elements provided for by art. 123 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, since they are formulated narrowly, without taking into account the requirements of regulatory acts of a medical nature in order to ensure adequate protection of reproductive rights and interests.
Environmental Crime: State, Structure, Dynamics over the Past Ten Years
Authors: Kravchenko Irina
Published: December 2023

Based on the study, the article presents a criminological description of environmental crime over the last ten years, i.e. from 2012 to 2021. The specified period was chosen in order to reflect current trends in the development of environmental crime in Russia. It was revealed that the share of environmental crimes in the overall structure of crime varies within 1%. However, the factors that testify to the decline in the level of environmental crime both in absolute and qualitative terms are clearly manifesting themselves. It has ben established that the amount of registered environmental crimes does not correspond to the indicators characterizing the social danger of these crimes. The presence of scientific problems in determining the latency of environmental crime is noted. However, when taking into account the structure of environmental crime, a general tendency was revealed to recognize the type of crime under consideration as having high latency rates. It is recognized that against the background of a decrease in the indicators of official criminal law statistics for the detection and disclosure of these crimes, as well as bringing to justice those who ommitted them, taking into account the indicators of latency of environmental crime, there have been negative trends in ensuring the rights to a favorable environment guaranteed by the Constitution of the Russian Federation. It is determined that the structure of environmental crime has remained stable for twenty-five years and has not changed in the last ten years. Thus, only four corpus delicti under Chapter 26 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation remain dominant in application, while the rest of the norms have only a single application or are of a declarative nature. It is concluded that the indicated negative indicators in the characterization of environmental crime do not show the effective work to prevent it and to ensure the environmental safety of the state.
The Comparative Analysis of the Structure and Legal Technique of the Electoral Acts of the Russian Federation, France and Canada
Authors: Podshivalov Vladimir
Published: December 2023

The article reasons the necessity to perform an analysis of the contemporary legal regulation of elections in Russian Federation not only in aspect of its content, but also in aspect of the structure and legal technique used in the corresponding legal texts. The author notes the recent development of the Russian electoral legislation shows its inner logic and less and less reflects the features of its Western European sources. Analysis and comparison of the structure and legal technique is conducted of the following electoral legal acts: Russian Federal Laws "On the principal guarantees of the Russian citizens' electoral rights and its right to participate in referendum" and "On the elections of the State Duma deputies", Electoral Code of France and Canada Elections Act. On the base of collected information which includes newly found actual data the author argues highs and lows of the discovered approaches of respective national legislator and surmises motives which could determine them. Comparison of Russian electoral acts to its foreign counterparts confirms general similarity of its content while different approaches to the structure and important specifics of the completeness and particularity of the legal regulation of electoral relations. On example of the Electoral Code of France it is shown that the complication of the legal act structure by extensive use of the "general rule - specific rule" pattern is favorable only in the limited number of cases. The conclusion is made that the distinctive feature of the Russian electoral legislation is a consistent adherence to the principle which demands to place articles in an order determined by the sequence of the electoral procedure stages. Also the Russian electoral legislation is differentiated by unreasonable growth of the articles as base structure elements of legal acts.
Рrospects for Criminalization of Cyberterrorism in Russia and Abroad
Authors: Romanovskiy Vladislav
Published: December 2023

The article analyses a foreign practice of the criminal legal measures for counteracting cyberterrorism. An analysis of the US Code chapter 18 1030(a)(5), amended by USA PATRIOT Act 2001 (a response to the terrorist attack of September 11, 2001), is presented. The substantial features of cyberthreats on the part of terrorist organizations, stated in annual threat assessments of the U.S. Intelligence Community, are marked out. The experience of the Western European countries in the field is also summarized. Particularly, the routine activity of the secret services and law-enforcement authorities which rarely involves the criminal responsibility. A special attention is drawn to the legal acts of the People's Republic of China which ground counteracting cyberterrorism on the general conception of the digital sovereignty. In PRC the measures of counteracting to modern cyberthreats are arranged in three main blocks: development of own technologies, ideological propaganda, state policy. As a result of technological progress the structure of terrorist organizations and the tactics of criminal actions are changed. The use of networking model has resulted in emergence of the "single person terrorists", multi-integration of various organizations, frequently committing their operations in distance one of another, self-radicalization as a key model of involving to the criminal activity,decentralization in management while lacking of the "command centres", making use of the blockchain in the financing model. The article also proposes general positions for the criminalization of the cyberterrorism in the Russian Federation. The recommendations for amendment of criminal legislation are made.

The study found that Indian media industry is taking a leading position in the Asian media market. The value of this work lies in the fact that it can become fundamental for further comparative study of the media industries of the leading Asian countries.
To the Question of the Nature of the Witness Immunity of Jurors in the Theory of Court Evidence from the Perspective of R.S. Belkins Works
Authors: Smirnova Irina
Published: December 2023

The article commemorates the birthday anniversary of a famous researcher, criminalist, Doctor of Law, Professor, Honored Researcher of the Russian Soviet Federative Republic Rafail Samuilovich Belkin. The author describes the significance of conclusions and positions presented in the works of R.S. Belkin for the theory of criminal process. Primarily, it refers to his position regarding the structure of the general theory of criminalistics, where a special place is given to the criminalistic theory of the regularities of assessing and using evidence. This area is especially relevant in view of the legal position of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation on the witness immunity of a juror as expressed in the Decree of July 07, 2020 № 33-П. The author suggests studying the law enforcement practice of some foreign countries where the interrogation of jurors as witnesses is a recognized means of ensuring their independence and impartiality, while criminalistics could help to assess and use such evidence in the most effective way.
Some Problems of Appointing Forensic Medical Examinations to Establish the Severity of Inflicted Harm to Health (Using the Example of Krasnoyarsk Regional Bureau of Forensic Examinations)
Authors: Zinenko Yulia , Sergeeva Olga
Published: December 2023

The analysis orders and judgements of experts from the Department of Victims, Accused and Other Persons of Kransnoyarsk Regional Bureau of Forensic Examinations in 2017–2021 showed that investigators often wanted to know if certain bodily harm could have been sustained by the victim in a specific set of circumstances. In such cases the forensic doctors used the phrase “determining the possibility of bodily harm in certain circumstances is outside the competence of the forensic pathology doctor”, and in some situations they argued that no special knowledge was needed to answer the question. In our opinion, such questions are within the competence of a forensic doctor, but they are the subject of “situational examinations” (forensic crime scene reconstruction) according to clause 85.7. of the Order of the Ministry of Healthcare and Social Development of Russia of May 12, 2010 № 346н “On Approving the Procedure for the Organization and Execution of Forensic Examinations in State Institutions of Forensic Examinations of the Russian Federation.
Breaking the 'Law of the Father': Linda Rademan's transgressive engagements with Afrikaner patriarchy in the home
Authors: von Veh Karen
Published: December 2023

Artist, Linda Rademan, was born in the mid-1950s in an Afrikaans home where 'the law of the father' pertained in all matters. She has professed ambivalence about her upbringing, which was circumscribed by an Afrikaner Nationalist ideology, underpinned by patriarchal dominance, and strictly conformed to the narrow Calvinistic precepts of the Dutch Reformed Church. In her work, memories of childhood and family dynamics are employed to expose the stranglehold of religious expectations, the permeation of male privilege, and the suppression of women's voices in Afrikaner culture. In this paper, I analyse selected works in which Rademan has intervened in photographic memorabilia by embroidering and sewing or 'suturing' areas of her work. The use of sewing and embroidery has been employed as a feminist strategy since the early 1970s, and I argue that its use here not only aims to overturn the patriarchal hierarchy of artmaking but is an attempt to visually mend (suture) the psychologically damaging aspects of Rademan's childhood upbringing. In this way, her approach becomes a therapeutic means to engage with the painful process of self-integration, as well as a vehicle to redress the exclusion of women's voices in her family and culture by presenting an alternative image of Afrikaans womanhood.
Labour, love, or violence? Farieda Naziers Dont Make Me Over (2021)
Authors: Do Rego Roxanne
Published: December 2023

Don't Make Me Over (2021) is a videographic piece by South African artist Farieda Nazier comprising performance, music, poetry, curated settings, and sculptural assemblages, which forms part of her Post(erity) Project. The title-Don't Make Me Over-is based on the 1962 song of the same name originally recorded by Dionne Warwick and later covered by Sybil in 1987. While an integral and fundamental component of the work, the artist emphasises that her interpretation of the popular hit is not a music video. Throughout this article, I discuss how Nazier enacts scenes of both compliance and defiance against the conflation of femininity and the domestic milieu, and the embodied violence of patriarchal norms dictating feminine 'beauty' and behaviours-the former exasperated by a history of racialised oppression and unequal power relationships in South Africa, which further conflate blackness with labour, but particularly domestic labour. Moreover, I examine how the video implies an abusive relationship dynamic in which the female subject appears entangled, set against the backdrop of The Forge theatre in Johannesburg, thereby implying the masquerade of gender identity and emphasising the narrative quality of the work as a whole.

Transnational Approaches and fin de siècle Modernisms: The Case of the Croatian Modernist Movement
Authors: Tomašegović Nikola
Published: December 2023

Tijekom posljednjih nekoliko desetljeća transnacionalni pristupi dobivali su sve više popularnosti u okviru historijske znanosti. Mnogi autori danas tim pojmom obuhvaćaju različite pristupe, projekte i teorijske prijedloge, kao što su npr. historija isprepletanja (entangled history), historija ukrštavanja (histoire croisée), historija povezivanja (connected histories), historija dijeljenja (shared history), globalna historija (global history), studije kulturnih transfera i razmjena (cultural transfer and exchange studies) itd. Pluralnost unutar ovog zajedničkog nazivnika upućuje na zasad nedostatnu teorijsko-metodološku elaboriranost različitih transnacionalnih pristupa i njihova međusobnog odnosa, ali ujedno označava i pretpostavku prema kojoj transnacionalni pristupi ne predstavljaju zaokruženu teorijsko-metodološku i istraživačku paradigmu, nego teorijski i istraživački stav ili perspektivu koju obilježava ono što nazivamo „dvostrukim imperativom“: nadilaženje uskih granica koje određuje nacionalna perspektiva, kao i povezanog metodološkog nacionalizma te pojačana refleksivnost historičara, odnosno svijest o odnosu historičara i predmeta njegova istraživanja. Nakon uvodnog razmatranja razvojnih tendencija i epistemoloških pretpostavki transnacionalnih pristupa, u ovom se radu prikazuju određeni rezultati i mogućnosti primjene tih pristupa na istraživanje fin de siècle modernističkih pokreta. Kao studija slučaja uzima se hrvatski modernistički pokret, odnosno pokret ‘mladih’, u njegovim isprepletenostima sa suvremenim pokretima i modernističkim tendencijama. Najvažniji poticaji i modeli uzimaju se iz studija kulturnih transfera i razmjena, koji omogućuju sagledavanje mehanizama aproprijacija ideja i praksi, kao i strategija njihove upotrebe u novim kontekstima. U tom smislu nacionalno se može razumijevati kao rezultat dinamike transnacionalnih aproprijacija, odnosno interakcije lokalnog i globalnog, kao i kontinuiteta i diskontinuiteta ideja i praksi, a ne kao esencijalizirani entitet koji postoji sam po sebi, kao osnovna jedinica razumijevanja i djelovanja.

Authors: Doroshenko Eduard , Sheviakov Oleksiy , Melnyk Mykhaylo , Oliinyk Mykhaylo , Oliinyk Irina , Vaniuk Daria
Published: December 2023

The purpose of the work – to determine the peculiarities of the response of sportswomen to conflict situations in the conditions of a limited coalition of the volleyball team in order to optimize the process of sports training. 
Materials and methods. Participants: 30 amateur volleyball players (women), who participated in park and beach volleyball competitions in the 2022-2023 season under the auspices of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Volleyball Federation. Age range: 18-27. 
Methods: Analysis and systematization of data from scientific and methodical literature and the electronic resource of global information network “Internet”; pedagogical observations; psychological testing according to the method of K. Thomas “Determining the style of behavior in a conflict situation”; pedagogical experiment of controlling orientation; methods of mathematical statistics.
Results. The analysis of the experimental indicators allows us to state that the volleyball players of the main group significantly improved the “cooperation” (+6.67%) and “compromise” (+6.67%) indicators, while the “avoidance” indicator significantly decreased (-13.33%). Based on this, we note that the technology for correcting conflict situations in limited coalitions of the volleyball team is quite effective (indicators of volleyball players of the main group). Among the volleyball players of the control group, an increase in indicators according to the “compromise” criteria (+6.67%) and a decrease according to the “avoidance” criterion (-6.66%) were recorded. 
Conclusion. Modern technologies of psychological training in volleyball, which relate to issues of correction of conflict situations in limited coalitions, are a prerequisite for increasing the effectiveness of the competitive activity of volleyball players. The main ways of applying these technologies in the training process in volleyball are the psychological diagnosis of female athletes taking in to account their personal qualifications, social roles in the limited coalition of the volleyball team; targeted application in competitive micro- or mesocycles of training to increase the effectiveness of training and competitive activities in limited coalitions.

Materials and methods. The study involved 20 boys aged 8 years. Informed consent for children’s participation in the experiment was obtained from their parents. The following research methods were applied to solve the set tasks: analysis of scientific and methodical literature, pedagogical testing of strength abilities, and methods of mathematical statistics for processing research results.

Results. The analysis of correlation dependence between test tasks that characterize the display of different types of force generally shows a large and numerous interrelation of the average and high level of significance between all tests (ρxy = 0,508 - 0,879 at p<0,05; p<0,01. Processing of retest data showed the stability of the battery of tests and sufficient retest reliability for most test scores (rtt ranged from 0.818 to 0.984, p<0.001).

Conclusions. The selected battery of tests is accessible, informative, and reliable. It will allow us to solve the following pedagogical tasks more effectively: to control the efficiency and effectiveness of physical training as an element of the pedagogical process of formation of motor skills and development of physical qualities, to maintain and strengthen health, to maintain a productive level of general working capacity, and to increase body resistance to action of unfavorable factors of the present.
Diversity across the border: Genetic study of a highly disjunct occurrence of the U.S. federally-endangered plant species Physaria thamnophila, Brassicaceae (Zapata bladderpod) discovered in Mexico
Authors: Sedio Brian E. , Williams Ryan J. , Price Dana M. , Best Christopher F. , Contreras-Arquieta Alberto , Manhart James R. , Pepper Alan E.
Published: December 2023

Taxonomy, genetics and biogeography each make key contributions to biological conservation. However, integrating these disciplines to obtain a coherent account of the status of a taxon of concern not always straightforward. This is the case for the cross-border endemic plant Physaria thamnophila (Brassicaceae). This US federally-listed endangered species is restricted to a set of unique geological sites just north of the Rio Grande (Rio Bravo del Norte) river in south Texas, USA. A single highly-disjunct occurrence of this species is found on a geologically and ecologically distinct site 260 km to the south, in Tamaulipas, Mexico. In this work, we quantify the genetic differentiation between the U.S. and Mexican populations using four microsatellite markers and sequences from three nuclear genes. In both sets of data, we find a high level of genetic divergence consistent with geographic isolation on a time scale of 1–2.5 million years. Further, we provide a hypothesis for the geological basis of this geographic isolation. Integrating our data with ecological, taxonomic and conservation considerations, we propose the sub-specific designation of Physaria thamnophila subsp. loretensis for the Mexican population. The evolutionary and conservation implications of this designation are presented.

The Forest: A Fable of America in the 1830s
Authors: Keller Harold W.
Published: December 2023

From the Publisher: Set amid the glimmering lakes and disappearing forests of the early United States, The Forest imagines how a wide variety of Americans experienced their lives. Part truth, part fiction, and featuring both real and invented characters, the book follows painters, poets, enslaved people, farmers, and artisans living and working in a world still made largely of wood. Some of the historical characters—such as Thomas Cole, Margaret Fuller, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Fanny Kemble, Edgar Allan Poe, and Nat Turner—are well-known, while others are not. But all are creators of private and grand designs.The Forest unfolds in brief stories. Each episode reveals an intricate lost world. Characters cross paths or go their own ways, each striving for something different but together forming a pattern of life. For Alexander Nemerov, the forest is a description of American society, the dense and discontinuous woods of nation, the foliating thoughts of different people, each with their separate shade and sun. Through vivid descriptions of the people, sights, smells, and sounds of Jacksonian America, illustrated with paintings, prints, and photographs, The Forest brings American history to life on a human scale.

ORFanID Web-based Search Engine to IdentifyOrphan and Taxonomically Restricted Genes v2
Authors: Galbadage Thushara
Published: December 2023

ORFanID is a web-based software engine designed to identify ORFan genes from genomes of interest; from a given list of DNA or protein sequences within the NCBI databases. The selection of the taxonomy level of interest can define the scope of the search for orphan genes. Detectable homologous sequences are found by the software for candidate genes in the NCBI databases. Based on these findings, the ORFanID engine identifies and depicts orphan genes. Results may be viewed and analyzed graphically for scientific research and inquiry. As the enigma of orphan genes unravels, we believe ORFanID will provide critical insights into the origin, function, and prevalence of ORFan genes in genomes. Thelast stepcontains a supplemental video with extra context and tips, as part of the protocols.io Spotlight series, featuring conversations with protocol authors.
Distribution and Morphology of Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide (CGRP) Innervation in Flat Mounts of Whole Rat Atria and Ventricles v1
Authors: Chen Jin
Published: December 2023

Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is widely used as a marker for nociceptive afferent axons. However, the distribution of CGRP-IR axons has not been fully determined in the whole rat heart. Immunohistochemically labeled flat-mounts of the right and left atria and ventricles, and the interventricular septum in rats for CGRP were assessed with a Zeiss imager to generate complete montages of the entire atria, ventricles, and septum, and a confocal microscope was used to acquire detailed images of selected regions. We found that 1) CGRP-IR axons extensively innervated all regions of the atrial walls and the walls of the great vessels including the sinoatrial node region, auricles, atrioventricular node region, superior/inferior vena cava, left pre-caval vein, and pulmonary veins. 2) CGRP-IR axons formed varicose terminals around individual neurons in some cardiac ganglia but passed through other ganglia without making appositions with cardiac neurons. 3) Varicose CGRP-IR axons innervated the walls of blood vessels. 4) CGRP-IR axons extensively innervated the right/left ventricular walls and interventricular septum. Our data shows the rather ubiquitous distribution of CGRP-IR axons in the whole rat heart at single-cell/axon/varicosity resolution for the first time. This study lays the foundation for future studies to quantify the differences in CGRP-IR axon innervation between sexes, disease models, and species.

Authors: Penxa-Matholeni Nobuntu
Published: December 2023

This article delves into the origins and extent of racial conflicts within and among us as South African Christians, questioning whether they arise from a flawed foundation. Employing an indigenous storytelling methodology, this article aims to uncover these quarrels and their impact on the church, academy, and society. Central to our exploration is the endleleni metaphor, meaning “on the road,” which will be defined to dismantle the divisive hierarchized foundation and foster a new interconnected foundation rooted in our shared humanity. Ultimately, the metaphor of endleleni lights the path towards a promising future.

Published: December 2023

In 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, universities had to suddenly and forcefully implement remote education. The study had three objectives: to explore and compare university students´ emotions; to analyze the associations between emotions and socio-educational factors; and to understand, from the student's perspective, emotions and experiences lived during remote education. The study was exploratory and comparative. The analyses were quantitative and qualitative. Five hundred and eighty students from the University of Extremadura (Spain) and the University of Río Cuarto (Argentina) participated. Data collection was carried out between May and September 2020. Two data collection instruments were used: self-administered online questionnaire and focus groups. The results indicated concern about connectivity and lack of technological resources. The predominance of negative emotions and communication difficulties was observed in both quantitative and qualitative data. However, we also found flexible and adaptive practices that had allowed students to cope with communication difficulties, and unfavorable emotional states.
CASE REPORT: A LADY WITH RECURRENT PERIANAL ULCER
Authors: Rashid Nawshirwan
Published: December 2023

Introduction 

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare systemic disorder characterized by clonal proliferation of bone‑marrow-derived Langerhans cells in various systems. Lesions on the genital tract are uncommon, with only a few reports of isolated vulvar LCH (1). It is characterized by accumulating CD1a+/Langerin+ LCH cells and wide-ranging organ involvement (2). The presentation can vary from single organ involvement to disseminated, multi-system disease. Clinical aggressiveness is equally variable. In 1939 Andrews first described LCH of the female reproductive tract. Subsequently, four patterns of involvement have been identified: (a) pure genital LCH, (b) genital tract LCH with subsequent multi-organ involvement, (c) oral or cutaneous LCH with subsequent genital and multi-organ involvement, and (d) diabetes insipidus with organ involvement (3).here our case at the beginning she had only perianal skin involvement which was completely resected but after two years she relapsed with perianal & valvar ulcer, again totally resected and the result of histopathology & immunohistochemistry with positive CD1a, CD 207 & S100 confirms recurrence of the same pathology.
INCIDENCE OF CORONARY ARTERY ANOMALY IN SLEMANI CARDIAC HOSPITAL
Authors: Mohialdeen Dara , Abdalla Razhan , Hassan Kawa
Published: December 2023

Background 

Coronary arteries are classified traditionally into three different groups according to their anatomy, normal anatomy, anatomical variations, and anomaly. The incidence of coronary artery anomaly (CAA) can vary from as low as 0.2% to as high as 5.64% of the general population.

Objectives 

To find the incidence of coronary artery anomalies in the Sulaimani Cardiac Center.

Materials and Methods

A Prospective case study was carried out on patients undergoing emergency and elective coronary catheterization in Sulaimani cardiac hospital from January 2021 to January 2022. After a complete history and physical examination, their coronary angiogram reports were evaluated for the coronary anomaly.

Results

A total of 3,127 patients were evaluated, with coronary anomalies in 144 patients with an incidence of 4.6%. The mean age was 60.2± 11, ranging from 24 to 92 years. The male gender was 66.7%(n=96). The presenting complaint in this study was predominantly chest pain, 78.5%(n=48). The acute coronary syndrome was the cause of urgent coronary angiography in 22.9% (n=33). The myocardial bridge was the most predominant among our patients 41% (n=59), followed by the Separate origins of the Left Anterior Descending Artery and Left Circumflex Artery in the Left sinus of the Valsalva, 38.2%(n=55). While Anomalies of coronary termination (fistula) were found in 4.9%(n=7), 

Conclusion

Coronary artery anomalies are uncommon findings in patients undergoing coronary angiography with an incidence of 4.6%, The most common anomaly detected in our study was myocardial bridging.
METABOLIC SYNDROME AND THYROID DYSFUNCTION IN PATIENTS WITH ACROMEGALY IN SULAIMANI
Authors: Abdullah Shadan , Mahwi Taha , Rashid Zagros
Published: December 2023

Background 

Acromegaly is a chronic endocrinology disorder caused by the over-production of growth hormone (GH) predominantly by a pituitary adenoma. Acromegaly is associated with metabolic changes and thyroid dysfunction (ThD) in the body. However, the frequency of metabolic syndrome (MtS) in acromegaly patients is unknown, and studies assessing the frequency of different ThD types in acromegaly cases were few.

Objectives 

To analyze the frequencies of MtS and ThD in patients with acromegaly in comparison to controls in Sulaimani city, to find the frequencies of MtS and ThDs in active cases compared to inactive cases in acromegaly patients, and to assess the relationship between the cumulative exposure to Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1) with ThD and MtS in acromegaly.

Patients and Methods

In this case-control study, 82 subjects were enrolled, which included 22 patients with acromegaly who visited the Sulaimani endocrinology center from August 2021 to February 2022 and 60 control subjects. The mean age of cases was 47.55 [11.50] years, with 7 (31.8%) male and 15 (68.2%) female. Thyroid function test, clinical, and biochemical parameters of MtS were measured in both groups in addition to IGF1. Chi-square test, Student T-test, and ANOVA were used in data analysis. Correlation between quantitative variables determined by Pearson correlation, with a P-value ≤ 0.05, is significant

Results

Out of 22 patients with acromegaly, 68.2% were euthyroid, 9.1% had primary hypothyroidism, 18.2% had central hypothyroidism, and 4.5% had hyperthyroidism, which is significantly higher than the control group (p-value =0.002). MtS frequency is 68.18% in cases, significantly higher than control, p-value=0.011. Most MtS and ThD parameters were significantly higher in acromegaly patients than in controls, P-value < 0.001. No significant correlation between the last IGF1 and other parameters existed except free T3, which has a significant negative correlation with IGF1, P < 0.05. 

Conclusion

In acromegaly, the frequency of MtS is high (68.18%), and the frequency of ThD is 31.8%. Both MtS and ThDs are more common in patients compared to controls. No significant relationship exists between disease activity and the presence of MtS or ThD. Because both MtS and ThDs increase the metabolic markers, consequently increasing cardiovascular disease (CVD) morbidity and mortality in cases.
