Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune disorder characterised by a low platelet countless than 100? ×? 10^9/L, purpura, and hemorrhagic episodes induced by antiplatelet autoantibodies without anemia or leukopenia. Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) occurs in 2 to 4/100? 000 adults. A wide range of signs and symptoms, from modest mucocutaneous petechiae to severe, life-threatening organ haemorrhage, are seen in ITP patients. they may present to the emergency department (ED) with life-threatening bleeding as a result of their thrombocytopenia. ITP has two distinct clinical syndromes, manifesting as an acute condition in children and a chronic condition in adults. IgG autoantibodies make circulating platelets more sensitive. It causes these cells to be removed more quickly by antigen-presenting cells (macrophages) of the spleen, and occasionally the liver or other components of the monocyte-macrophage system. Current evidence supports alternatives to splenectomy for second-line management of patients with persistently low platelet counts and bleeding. By increasing platelet production, bone marrow compensates for platelet breakdown. Immune Thrombocytopenia most commonly arises within a few weeks after a viral infection in healthy children and young adults. Immunosuppressive treatment is usually effective in treating ITP. Many patients with ITP require no emergent treatment. However, the emergency physician should start treatment with a platelet transfusion, corticosteroids, and intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) as soon as the patient with suspected ITP arrives at the ED with serious haemorrhage.The diagnosis is usually made by ruling out all known causes of thrombocytopenia. This review aims to summarize current evidences regarding prevalence, causes, diagnosis and management of immune thrombocytopenia. Keywords:,,,

A Ginástica Rítmica (GR) é uma modalidade que foi criada especificamente para mulheres. Desde 2005 percebemos a inserção de homens em competições de GR, principalmente em países europeus. Realizamos esta pesquisa para compreender a relação entre um esporte criado para mulheres, cuja dominância ainda é delas, e a aparição de homens praticantes. Entrevistamos 15 participantes, entre homens e mulheres, envolvidos com a modalidade e procedemos à Análise Temática (AT) para o tratamento e análise dos dados obtidos. Aferimos que os homens têm pouca representatividade na prática mesmo em países que apoiam o esporte, e sua inclusão em competições oficiais, bem como o futuro de atletas que têm potencial para seguir carreira, depende da Federação Internacional de Ginástica. A relação entre a música da série, figurino e estilos de movimentos escolhidos deve superar as ideias de masculinidade e feminilidade e abranger o potencial que cada corpo tem disponível para a prática da GR.

Introduction: While otic barotrauma (OBT) is a common condition experienced by divers, data related to military divers is limited. This study aimed to determine the incidence of OBT in Canadian armed forces (CAF) shallow-water diver (SWD) students trained through the Fleet Dive Unit (Atlantic) (FDU[A]) between 2011-2015. Methods: A retrospective cohort evaluation was performed. The study group consisted of all SWD candidates who embarked on an SWD course through FDU(A) between 2011-2015. A total of 241 subjects comprised the final data analysis. Results: A total of 56 individuals (23.2%) suffered 60 instances of OBT, yielding an incidence density rate of 8.68 per 1,000 person-days on course. A total of 73 diving days (10.44 per 1,000 planned person-course days, or 4.87 diving days per course) were lost due to OBT. Of the reported OBT cases, 18% resulted in cessation of training, 72% in temporary removal from diving. There was no statistically significant association between sex, history of environmental allergies, previous dive qualification, age or rank and the development of OBT. Conclusion: This study reveals that OBT is prevalent among CAF SWD candidates, with operational impact due to missed diving days. This study is limited, and further prospective study is recommended.

Introduction: In Part 1 of this three-part series, we provided an explanation as to why and at what sites decompression sickness (DCS) occurs, using the Gradient-Perfusion Model (GPM). In this part, we provide information to substantiate the concept and present clinical cases that were initially labeled as “unexplained DCS,” but later disordering events were identified to explain the clinical presentations. Materials and Methods: Among 500 cases of DCS we have managed for over 50 years, a cohort of these patients was initially diagnosed as unexplained DCS. However, some have shown that disordering events are the likely cause of their DCS. Results: By pairing the tissue involved with the patient’s dive history, a gradient-perfusion imbalance connection was identified. In all serious (Type 2) presentations of DCS, alterations in perfusion of the fast tissues were able to account for the clinical findings. The consequences demonstrated that the gradients overwhelmed the ability of altered perfusion to offgas/offload the inert gas. Pain-only and peripheral neuropathy presentations involved both intermediate and slowly perfused tissues. Rather than perfusion, gradient limitations were the reasons for the clinical presentations of these patients. Conclusions: The GPM accounts for signs and symptom presentations in DCS. This provides the basis for appropriate treatments and logical recommendations for return to diving. We recommend that the label “unexplained DCS” be discontinued and that the GPM be used to determine the cause. Once the cause is established, “DCS due to disordered decompression” becomes the appropriate term.

Published: October 2022

Stimulating and harnessing circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) is
not only a sine qua non for fundamentally unveiling chirogenesis
in physical chemistry, and also a pivotal prerequisite for
implementation of such phenomenon in area of chiral optoelectronics and
theranostics. Herein, red-emissive carbonized polymer dots (CPDs)-based
helical structures were synthesized in this work via
biomolecule-tailored organic-inorganic co-assembly strategy. The surface
states related chirality exhibited enhanced circular dichroism (CD) and
CPL activities with anisotropic factors as high as
g=5.4×10 and
g=1.5×10 respectively. The
obtained CPL signals can be further manipulated with an
excitation-dependent manner indicating a synergistic-competition
phenomenon is existed between configurational chirality and
intermolecular energy-transfer dynamics, which is further supported by
simulations based on density function theory (DFT). Such tunable CPL
behaviors triggers revolutionary designs and applications of these
chiral CPDs into the realm of chirality-related biological issues and
next generation chiral optoelectronics.
The atomic path for constructing single-helical superstructure of AuCu nanoclusters
Authors: Tang Ancheng , Cai Xiao , Liu Yong , Hou Jun , Chen MingYang , Zhu Yan
Published: October 2022

Single-helical or double-helical structures are common in all living
organisms, such as RNA and DNA. Helical assembly has been found in the
artificial nanoparticles, but how they do so remains poorly understood.
Here, we exploit atomically precise Au6Cu6 alloy nanoparticles (or
called nanoclusters) as building blocks to construct a single-helical
Au12Cu12 superstructure in an operative path, thereby providing access
to currently elusive mechanistic pathways. We propose that the
thermodynamically viable linear-to-bent process at a couple of Au6Cu6
nanoclusters imparted by the organic ligands seems to be critical for
the helical-nanostructured arrangement of Au12Cu12. This study could
help to offer new design rules for the exquisitely helical structure
assembled from nanoparticles.
Genomic, spatial and morphometric data for discrimination of four species in the Mediterranean Tamus clade of yams (Dioscorea, Dioscoreaceae)

Published: October 2022

Background and aims. Among the numerous pantropical species of
the yam genus, Dioscorea, only a small group occurs in the
Mediterranean basin, including two narrow Pyrenean endemics (Borderea
clade), and two Mediterranean-wide species (D. communis and
D. orientalis, Tamus clade). However, several currently
unrecognized species and infraspecific taxa have been described in the
Tamus clade due to significant morphological variation associated with
D. communis. Our overarching aim was to investigate taxon
delimitation in the Tamus clade using an integrative approach combining
phylogenomic, spatial and morphological data.

Methods. We analysed 76 herbarium samples using Hyb-Seq genomic
capture to sequence 260 low-copy nuclear genes and plastomes, together
with morphometric and environmental modelling approaches.

Key results. Phylogenomic reconstructions confirmed that the
two previously accepted species of the Tamus clade, D. communis
and D. orientalis, are monophyletic and form sister clades. Three
subclades showing distinctive geographic patters were identified within
D. communis. These subclades were also identifiable from
morphometric and climatic data, and introgression patterns were inferred
between subclades in the eastern part of the distribution of D.
communis.

Conclusions. We propose a taxonomy that maintains D.
orientalis, endemic to the eastern Mediterranean region, and splits
D. communissensu lato into three species: D.
edulis, endemic to Macaronesia (Canary Islands and Madeira); D.
cretica, endemic to the eastern Mediterranean region; and D.
communissensu stricto, widespread across western and central
Europe. Introgression inferred between D. communis s.s. and
D. cretica is likely to be explained by their relatively recent
speciation at the end of the Miocene, disjunct isolation in eastern and
western Mediterranean glacial refugia and a subsequent westward
recolonization of D. communis s.s. Our study shows that the use
of integrated genomic, spatial and morphological approaches allows a
more robust definition of species boundaries and the identification of
species that previous systematic studies failed to uncover.

The past of the socialist childhood through the lens of the Bulgarian literature
Authors: Luleva Ana
Published: October 2022

The Childhood during the State-socialist Bulgaria is thematized in a plethora
of novels and auto-fictional literature, published in the last three
decades. Many of these works pose the question ?Is the past of my own
childhood a ?foreign country? for me?? This is a question very close to the
anthropological one: ?Could we know and understand our own (childhood?s)
past as insiders?? In this paper I will take a close look at the
presentations of the Socialist Childhood in some popular Bulgarian novels,
written after the Fall of Communism by authors belonging to different
generations. I will discuss them from an anthropological perspective. How
this past is presented, reflected, and as such - becomes an important part
of the cultural memory about the Bulgarian State Socialism, is the main
research question of this paper.
The Impact of Persuasive Response Sequence and Consistency When Information Technology Service Providers Address Auditor-Identified Issues in System and Organization Control 2 Reports
Authors: Sheldon Mark D. , Bhattacharjee Sudip , Barkhi Reza
Published: October 2022

We examine how an IT service provider’s persuasive communication related to SOC2 report findings influences management’s (i.e., user-entities’) perceptions of the outsourced services. Within SOC2 reports, service providers can attempt to influence management’s impressions of auditor-identified issues and, due to the report’s limited audience, also follow up with management about these issues. Using dual-process theories of persuasion, we predict the type of persuasion used by a service provider in a SOC2 report (contend or concede), and its consistency with follow-up persuasive appeals (contend or concede), will influence management’s perceptions of the services provided. In an experiment, only when the service provider first contends the auditor’s findings does a follow-up concession (rather than contention) result in more favorable perceptions. Persuasion tactics also influence management’s processing of risk factors, which impact their trust in the service. Thus, IT service providers’ initial and follow-up persuasive communications influence management’s assessment of SOC2 auditor-identified issues.

Panel Flutter Numerical Study of Thin Isotropic Flat Plates and Curved Plates with Various Edge Boundary Conditions
Authors: PANY Chıtaranjan
Published: October 2022

In this article, supersonic panel flutter analysis of flat plates and curved plates with different edge boundary conditions are studied, using efficient, high precision triangular shallow shell finite elements. The fluid on the underside of the plate was is assumed to be stationary. The linear piston theory can be applied to the top surface of the plate. The linear piston theory was used to evaluate the aerodynamic loads. The solution of a complex eigenvalue problem was formulated according to Hamilton’s principle. Lagrange’s equation of motion was obtained using standard methods for finding eigenvalues. Current finite element analysis ignores aerodynamic damping. For panels, the theory of thin and small deformed shells was taken into account. To validate the developed finite element code, the results of a square and rectangular flat-panels with simply supported edges (S-S-S-S), a square plate with four fixed edges (C-C-C-C), and a square plate with the length side clamps (C-S-C-S) were compared with the published data. The flutter results of other edge boundary conditions (S-C-S-C, C-S-C-S, and C-C-C-C) for square and rectangular flat panels are evaluated for which literature data is limited. It has been found that the fixed condition in the cross-flow direction (S-C-S-C) has a significant effect on the critical flutter pressure parameters and flutter frequencies. Further, to study the aforementioned effect, the current finite element (FE) has been extended to curved plates with S-C-S-C(constrained in the cross-flow direction and exposed to supersonic flow), SS-S-S boundary conditions to find flutter results.

Published: October 2022

Abstract--The museum is a place to store historical relics that are very important as evidence that these relics are true. Museums are also a means for a country to show the public about the relics of historical objects which are treasures and must be preserved. Lampung Province State Museum, is one of the museums in Indonesia. One of the relics that must be preserved in this museum is the traditional Lampung cloth which is still there and is a legacy for the people of Lampung. The Lampung Museum has a collection of traditional Lampung fabrics whose safety conditions are still a problem for the Lampung Museum management, where there is a lack of care and it is easy for visitors to touch and change the layout of these items. This can cause damage and changes to the collectible. Therefore, the Passive Infra Red (PIR) sensor-based Security System is a tool designed to maintain the security system of the Lampung Province State Museum object "Ruwa Juwai", by using a PIR sensor which can detect the presence of infrared rays which will be detected by the sensor and then will activate the buzzer and LED as output. The design of the PIR sensor-based security system tool is carried out by observing the infrared sensor detected on the PIR sensor and the output on the security system tool in the form of a buzzer and LED.Keywords--Lampung Museum, Security System, Passive Infra Red Sensor

Objectives. Identify and abstract data from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) examining treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and comorbid PTSD/substance use disorder to update the previous Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) report and National Center for PTSD (NCPTSD) PTSD Trials Standardized Data Repository (PTSD-Repository). Data sources. We searched PTSDpubs, Ovid® MEDLINE®, Cochrane CENTRAL, PsycINFO®, Embase®, CINAHL®, and Scopus® for eligible RCTs published from June 1, 2018, to January 26, 2022. Review methods. In consultation with AHRQ and NCPTSD, we updated the evidence tables for the PTSD-Repository by including evidence published after publication of the last update and expanding abstraction of results to include calculated standardized effect sizes. The primary publication for each RCT was abstracted; data and citations from secondary publications (i.e., companion papers) appear in the same record. We assessed risk of bias (RoB) for all newly included studies using the Revised Cochrane Risk of Bias 2 (RoB 2) tool for randomized trials. For studies already in the PTSD-Repository, we will add calculated standardized effect sizes and update RoB using the new RoB 2 tool over the next several annual updates. Results. We added 48 new RCTs examining treatments for PTSD, for a total of 437 included studies published from 1988 to July 30, 2021. Among the 48 newly added RCTs, psychotherapy interventions were the most commonly employed (50%), followed by complementary and integrative health (17%). Approximately half of studies were conducted in the United States (46%), and enrolled community participants (52%) and participants with a mix of trauma types (48%). Studies typically had sample sizes ranging from 25 to 99 participants (69%). RoB was rated as high for 52 percent of studies, 31 percent were rated as low RoB, and the remaining studies were rated as having some concerns (15%). Conclusions. This report updates the previous AHRQ report to include 48 recently published RCTs, for a total of 437 studies. This update adds comprehensive data, standardized effect sizes for PTSD outcomes, and RoB assessment for the newly included RCTs. As with the previous AHRQ update, this report will inform updates to the PTSD-Repository, a comprehensive database of PTSD trials.

Prospects for innovative development of donor regions and subsidized subjects of the Russian Federation
Authors: Bykova M. L.
Published: October 2022

In the works of domestic and foreign authors it is noted that in modern conditions innovations determine the vector of development of territories. Also, the most important condition for the development of regions is the sufficiency of the necessary resources to ensure positive dynamics of economic growth. To date, most regional budgets are characterized by the need for subsidized contributions, since their incomes do not cover the amount of necessary expenses. Within the framework of the study, using econometric models, the features of the formation of the gross regional product under the influence of financing the innovative development of subsidized and non–subsidized entities were analyzed. The results of the study showed that in the donor subjects there is a stronger relationship between the costs of innovation and the value of the gross regional product. The results of the study have high theoretical and practical significance and can be used in regional planning.

"Background: Depression is considered one of the main determinants of economic deficits by limiting the functionality of the patients. Our study aimed to longitudinally assess the implications of cognitive deficits on functionality and quality of life for patients with major depressive disorder, during an acute depressive episode and also during euthymia. Materials and methods: Our study included 65 patients diagnosed with recurrent major depressive disorder. The quality of life domains were tested during an acute episode and after 6 months of euthymia. For both phases, the results were correlated with 35 healthy controls. Results: Patients during an acute depressive episode who performed better at the evaluation of psychomotor speed reported higher levels of quality of life. For verbal memory and psychomotor speed, statistically significant correlations were identified with the level of functionality and the general living environment. During the euthymic phase, significant associations were identified between psychomotor speed and the global level of functionality. Also, memory and psychomotor coordination presented significant correlations with quality of life. Conclusions: Results from our study confirmed the relationship between cognitive functions and functionality of patients with depressive disorder and the predictive value of psychomotor speed for the quality of life domains during both phases."

Celem pracy było zastosowanie elektrostatycznej metody pomiaru liczby kropli do dokonania analizy pracy rozpylaczy opryskiwaczy rolniczych. Badania rozpylaczy polegały na pomiarze liczby kropli w płaszczyźnie padania rozpylonej strugi i dokonane zostały elektrostatyczną metodą pomiaru wielkości kropli. Przeprowadzono badania pod kątem parametrów makroskopowych takich, jak powierzchnia pokrycia rozpylonej strugi cieczy. Polegały one na skanowaniu pola powierzchni padania sond pomiarow. Zastosowana metoda pozwoliła na wyznaczenie pola powierzchni pokrycia oraz parametrów geometrycznych stożka rozpylonej strugi. Poza tym wyznaczono ilościowy rozkład padania kropli.

Celem pracy były badania technik rozmrażania pieczywa drożdżowego oraz ocena wpływu zamienników sacharozy (sorbitol, miód) w składzie na jakość świeżego i mrożonego pieczywa. Charakteryzowano wybrane właściwości fizyczne – ubytek masy, masę właściwą i stosunek skórki do miękiszu pieczywa po jego rozmrożeniu w powietrzu i techniką mikrofalową. Stwierdzono, że zastosowanie sorbitolu i miodu wpłynęło na zmniejszenie upieku i zwiększenie wydajności ciasta i pieczywa. Rozmrażanie mikrofalowe ma istotniejszy wpływ na ubytek masy pieczywa oraz elastyczność w porównaniu z rozmrażaniem w powietrzu. Ocena sensoryczna wykazała, że pieczywo z udziałem miodu i po rozmrożeniu w mikrofalówce otrzymało najmniejszą ilość punktów.

Background: To control the spread of COVID-19 infection, dental services were limited to only emergency treatments. This restriction impacted lifestyles and limited physical activity among dental professionals. This study aimed to investigate the effect of COVID-19 quarantine on the level of physical activity (LoPA) among dental professionals.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 211 participants from the dental profession in Riyadh city. Data were gathered from dental students, interns, general dentists, residents, and specialists through online and paper-based surveys. The assessment of physical activity was made using an adapted version of the General Practice Physical Activity Questionnaire to categorize participants in terms of physical activity level as Active, Moderately Active, Moderately Inactive, and Inactive.
Results: Out of the 211 participants, 124 (58.8%) were males and 87 (41.2%) were females. Results presented that physical activity in 45.5% of the participants decreased during quarantine, whereas 40% had a similar score, and only 14% scored higher LoPA during quarantine. LoPA for most males (47%) did not change during quarantine, whereas most females (53%) had a decreased LoPA. Out of the 179 participants aged ≥40, 28 (15.6%) scored a higher LoPA.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a common cancer in Saudi Arabia that affects both genders but predominantly males. We aimed to identify the public awareness level about CRC screening among average-risk individuals.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional interview from October to November 2021, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Participants varied with regard to biodata and education level. In addition, respondents with a family history of the disease and those who work or study in the medical field were excluded.
Results: We collected data from 600 participants. The majority were female (52.3%), and 36.6% were between 30 and 39 years of age. Most of the respondents (60.8%) were university graduates. Overall, less than 5% of them did not know that screening could be associated with early detection of cancer or linked to a better prognosis, and 19.2% did not know that screening might affect the treatment plan. Additionally, 16.5% of participants selected colonoscopy as the only screening tool, but 4.5% of them selected both colonoscopy and fecal occult blood test. It was believed by 49.3% of the participants that screening should be done only at the onset of symptoms. The most common reason given for refusing screening tests was lack of symptoms (38.5%).
Conclusion: We have concluded a lower level than expected, compared to other studies, of CRC screening in Riyadh city. More focus on public awareness is required.
