AbstractThis study examines the application of picture cards to improve the Arabic vocabulary proficiency of seventh grade students at Noor El Hikma Preparatory School, Tolada, North Malangki. Kimis and McTaggart's working research approach was used to monitor the effectiveness of this method in two educational sessions. The results of the study showed that the application of photo cards was effective in improving students' mastery of Arabic vocabulary. This is proven by significantly increasing the average score and level of completion of vocabulary exercises in each course. In the second cycle, 100% of students achieved a minimum completion score of 70%, demonstrating excellent vocabulary proficiency. These results show that picture cards can be a useful educational tool to improve Arabic vocabulary learning, especially for students who have difficulty with traditional educational methods.. Keywords: Teaching aid, Ficture Cards, Arabic Vocabulary.???????? ??? ??????? ????? ?????? ????? ?????? ????? ???????? ??????? ??? ???? ???? ?????? ?? ????? ??? ?????? ?????????? ??????? ???????? ????????. ?? ??????? ??? ??? ????? ?? ????? ???? ?????? ??????? ?????? ??? ??????? ?? ?????? ?????????. ????? ????? ??????? ?? ????? ?????? ????? ??? ?????? ?? ????? ????? ?????? ???????? ???????. ??? ??? ?? ???? ????? ????? ??????? ?????? ????? ?????? ???????? ???? ???? ?? ?? ????. ?? ?????? ???????? ??? 100% ?? ?????? ?????? ??????? ?????? ????? 70%? ??? ??? ??? ????? ????? ????????. ???? ??? ??????? ?? ?????? ????? ???? ?? ???? ???? ??????? ????? ?????? ???? ???????? ???????? ????? ?????? ????? ????? ????? ?? ???????? ????????? ????????? .  ??????? ?????????: ????? ???????? ?????? ?????? ???????? ???????.

Published: August 2024

Glioblastomas are the most frequent type of cancer in the nervous system. Current treatments include a combination of chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery, but the patient survival is short, so clearly new approaches are needed. In this type of tumors, histone deacetylase (HDAC) expression is altered, making this enzyme a possible therapeutic target. Previously we reported the design, synthesis, and assay of valproic acid derivatives for inhibition of HDAC, but with low solubility. In this work, several compounds with inhibitory function on class I HDAC were identified, starting with a chemotheque of more than 50 thousand compounds and selecting those with enough solubility as judged by theoretical logP values, yielding 76% of the molecules. They were computationally docked to the active site of HDAC2 as representative of class I of these enzymes. Those with statistically significant scores were energy minimized in the active site to obtain even better binding poses. Six compounds were selected from the best 169 scores to be submitted to molecular dynamics simulations in the binding region, and their theoretical toxicity was determined. Amino acid conservation in the active site of the different HDAC isoforms were compared to predict if inhibition would be selective or general to class I enzymes. The resulting compounds will be experimentally assayed as potential drugs against glioblastomas and other types of cancer.

Published: August 2024

Obesity is a major public health problem and is currently considered a pandemic. Some of the proposals for its treatment are the change of eating habits and lifestyle, as well as medical or surgical treatment. However, the current problem of obesity prompts the study of new preventive and / or therapeutic proposals since current therapies have not been sufficiently capable of reducing morbidity and mortality rates. The study of the gut microbiota in obesity is an important, broad field of information and novelty that is still in its infancy and therefore more information needs to be generated. Today, the gut microbiota is recognized to play an important role in health and disease. This work aims to demonstrate the relationship between the bacterial intestinal metagenome and obesity in humans. Therefore, a bibliographic review of the current literature was carried out to describe the characteristics of the intestinal microbiota and its participation in obesity. The search was carried out in the databases of Medline, PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, Cochrane, and Web of Science, between 2010 and 2020 of original articles and reviews. Finding that there are associations between the intestinal microbiota and metabolic, immunological, and neuroendocrine regulation in individuals with obesity. It is concluded that the metagenomic characteristics of the intestinal microbiota of individuals with normal weight compared to individuals with obesity are very different. Since in obese individuals, bacterial diversity and richness decrease notably, particularly due to the increase in Firmicutes phyla and the decrease in Bifidobacterium. Also emphasizing that the decrease in the genera Clostridium leptum, Faecalibacterium prausnitzii and Akkermansia muciniphila have an important role in the generation of immunometabolism alterations in the host. Therefore, the modification of the intestinal microbiota is a potential object of study to assist in the prevention and / or treatment of obesity.

Published: August 2024

In December 2019, a new coronavirus was reported in Wuhan, China. SARSCoV-2 is a very contagious virus that causes the Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19) and the WHO declared COVID-19 a pandemic on March 11, 2020. Despite the efforts to contain the virus dissemination, the pandemic has caused the death of more than 5 million persons in the world. Therefore, the urgent need to develop vaccines against COVID-19 has been evidenced. The goal of this article is to know the Katalin Karikó contributions to develop RNA vaccines, and the impact in the control of the COVID-19 pandemic. Seven vaccines have received the emergency use authorization (EUA). The first vaccines to be approved were developed under novel platforms that utilize either mRNA or adenoviral vectors. A vaccine trains our immune system to recognize and combat pathogen and preventing infection. The mRNA vaccines are based in the introduction of the mRNA that encodes the spike protein (S) to trigger an immune response against SARS-CoV-2, reducing the symptomatic severe disease and death. Besides the vaccines can be synthetized in the laboratory, they are safe and induce an immune response. The technological advances in the knowledge of RNA were the key to obtain a COVID-19 vaccine in record time and this was possible thanks to the contributions of the great Hungarian researcher Katalin Karikó, her contributions were particularly important in the development of these vaccines. She was interested since the 90´s in the RNA synthesis. Karikó and Drew Weissman demonstrated that the modification of one nucleotide, the pseudouridine in the mRNA eliminated the exacerbated inflammation when inoculated in a mouse. They also found the form to preserve the RNA integrity and deliver it to mice using a lipid nanoparticle. In this moment, when science is fighting the coronavirus pandemic, the advances in this novel biotechnological platform has been determinant in the rapid development of vaccines that are the hope to the humanity to overcome the pandemic.

The growth of violence against women and girls has increased during the times of the Covid 19 pandemic. According to UN women, some of the aspects that have led to this phenomenon are the prevention and mitigation measures of this disease: isolation or distancing social security, quarantine and mobility restrictions. This violence against women and girls occurs in the home, because the victims are locked up with their perpetrators and with few or no opportunities to leave those environments, to seek help, or simply to go outside for a while. Perpetrator sphere. In this work we will try to visualize this problem from a search for options angle to know what can be done in these cases, and how to strengthen women and girls so that they can reject violence, save themselves, empower themselves and survive.
El cuidado infantil desde la perspectiva de las mujeres cuidadoras remuneradas y su derecho al cuidado: una aproximación pendiente
Authors: Lanestosa Baca Urania
Published: August 2024

This article presents an overview of the repercussions that changes in the operation of childcare centers have had on paid caregivers since the cancellation of the federal subsidy that allowed them to operate until 2019. These transformations, together with the confinement and suspension of activities in care services due to COVID-19, have resulted in the definitive or temporary closure of childcare centers, as well as in a significant number of paid female caregivers experiencing a significant reduction in their wages and, in many cases, the loss of their jobs. Although progress has been made in the Latin American region in recognizing caregiving as a human right, it continues to be seen as a daily responsibility of women, with less social and economic value. This paper discusses the importance of advancing in a scheme of coresponsibility between families, the State, the market and communities and outlines some of the challenges and opportunities for care to be considered a human right. This reflection highlights the right of women to self-care and the importance of considering their experiences, knowledge and needs as relevant for public decision making.
Cross-border ecological cooperation in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area: Pattern, characteristics and challenges
Authors: Liu Xiwen , Yang Zhenjie , Li Lue
Published: August 2024

Cross-border ecological cooperation is always a challenging issue. Ecological cooperation in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area has its own uniqueness as it is cross-border cooperation under “One Country, Two Systems”, which is different from multinational cooperation or regional collaboration within one country. This paper analyses the cooperation documents of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, official reports and academic literature, and then summarises the unique pattern of ecological cooperation in the Greater Bay Area under “One Country, Two Systems”. It outlines four characteristics: different priorities in ecological management of each side, case by base cooperation, government-dominated cooperation with low public participation, and huge institutional gap between three sides. This article also identifies several problems and causes: lack of common ecological targets for each side and effective cross-border regulative measures, cumbersome coordination in cross-border cooperation. Finally, four feasible recommendations have been put forwarded: creating new institutional arrangements under the context of “One Country, Two Systems”, establishing the efficient decision-making platform for the inter-city cooperation, introducing the market-based resource allocation, and encouraging public participation in ecological monitoring.

Idiopathic cervical abscesses in dogs follow seasonal trends and geographic risk factors, predominantly affecting young, large breeds: a case-control study of 67 dogs in New England
Authors: Welch Bryan T. , Vanderstichel Raphael V. , Quinn Rebecca , Toleson Laurel
Published: August 2024

OBJECTIVE

Describe and identify risk factors and spatiotemporal trends associated with the development of idiopathic cervical abscesses (CAs) in dogs in the Cape Cod region. The authors hypothesized that CAs without an external communicating tract would have a seasonal trend and would not be associated with identifiable foreign material.

ANIMALS

67 dogs.

METHODS

Retrospective observational case-control study enrolling dogs between 2016 and 2020. Compiled patient information included age, breed, sex, weight, date of presentation, and ZIP code. Statistical evaluation was performed by use of multivariate logistic regression modeling and spatiotemporal analyses with government-compiled land cover data. Control dogs were randomly selected in a 3:1 ratio to cases.

RESULTS

67 cases were investigated. The final multivariable logistic regression model found a significant seasonal effect, with most cases in September (OR, 4.80; 95% CI, 1.91 to 12.02). Spatial analyses revealed increased risk in a cluster of 13 ZIP codes, with OR of 4.40 (95% CI, 1.95 to 9.95). Weight was a risk factor; each additional kilogram was associated with an 18.8% increase in odds (OR, 1.188; 95% CI, 1.053 to 1.341) until a maximum risk at 15 kg. Younger dogs were at greater odds; for each additional year of age, the odds of having CAs were reduced by 8.9% (OR, 0.911; 95% CI, 0.837 to 0.991). No foreign material inciting cause was identified in any of the 67 cases.

CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE

Idiopathic CAs should be a differential for young, large-breed dogs with cervical swelling in the Northeastern US. This study documented seasonality, geographical trends, and signalment predispositions for idiopathic CAs.

The self-assembly of colloidal particles enables the creation of complex materials with tailored properties. This process, particularly involving anisotropic particles, can lead to the formation of structurally unique and complex assemblies that are not achievable with isotropic particles. On Earth, gravitational forces limit the investigation of these particles’ intrinsic motion and interactions, posing significant challenges to comprehensively understanding the fundamental forces governing their interactions. To overcome these limitations, this study, in collaboration with NASA’s Glenn Research Center (GRC), employs the Light Microscopy Module (LMM) aboard the International Space Station (ISS) to observe the self-assembly phenomena of anisotropic particles under microgravity conditions.

Our investigation shows that anisotropic Janus particles with their distinctive properties can spontaneously organize into ordered structures under microgravity. This directional interaction among anisotropic particles is expected to enable control over assembly processes, forming three-dimensional (3D) clustered structures that are unattainable on Earth. Thus, this study not only advances our understanding of particle self-assembly in microgravity but also opens new avenues for synthesizing materials with novel functionalities through the unique assembly of anisotropic colloids.

Entscheidungen in Grenzsituationen - Medizin- und Gesundheitsethik in theologischer Perspektive
Authors: Zimmermann Markus
Published: August 2024

Der medizinisch-technische Fortschritt bringt neue Handlungsmöglichkeiten mit sich, die sowohl in der klinischen Versorgung als auch auf organisations- und gesundheitspolitischer Ebene den alltäglichen Entscheidungsdruck verstärken. Entscheidungen in Grenzsituationen, existenzielle wie gerechtigkeitsrelevante Herausforderungen stehen daher im Zentrum der Beiträge. In theologisch-ethischer Perspektive werden grundlegende Fragen und Herangehensweisen erörtert, schwierige Entscheidungen in der Gesundheitsversorgung, am Lebensbeginn sowie am Lebensende erwogen und ethische Orientierung geboten. Dabei wird deutlich, dass heute sowohl die Idee der Machbarkeit als auch der Umgang mit dem gesellschaftlichen Pluralismus an Grenzen stößt: Eine ethische Streitkultur mit guten Argumenten erweist sich daher als genauso nötig wie die Anerkennung der condition humaine – dies nicht zuletzt mit Blick auf eine zeitgemäße Lebens- und Sterbekunst.

Introduction: Caffeine is one of the many stimulants found in popular foods and beverages consumed bythe global population. Caffeine has many benefits if it is consumed in accordance with recommended daily doses, such as reducing fatigue and facilitating activity. Caffeine consumption in excess is detrimental to the body, particularly the quality of sleep. Numerous students consume caffeine with the intention of enhancing daytime performance, but they disregard its negative effects, particularly on sleep quality.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional study using data collected with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and a questionnaire for caffeine content based on BPOM for active students at the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Atma Jaya Catholic University, classes of 2019–2021. The Spearman test was performed to determine the relationship between the independent variable (caffeine intake) and the dependent variable (sleep quality levels).
Results: There were forty respondents who satisfied the inclusion criteria. 20% of respondents had good sleep quality, whereas 80% of respondents had poor sleep quality. 60% of respondents consumed low amounts of caffeine or none at all (<32 mg), while 40% consumed high amounts of caffeine (>151mg). The analysis utilizing the Spearman test revealed that some outcomes had no effect (p = 0.876) while others did (r = 0.026).
Conclusions: There is no correlation between caffeine consumption and sleep quality among active students at Atma Jaya Catholic University's School of Medicine and Health Sciences.

Introduction: The capsaicin (8-methyl-N-vanillyl-6-nonenamide) content in spicy foods can trigger irritation and increase gastric acid production, which potentially damages the stomach mucous layer by increasing chloric acid levels (HCl). It is known that dyspepsia has a variety of causes and one of them can be triggered by the consumption of irritating foods, such as spicy foods. Therefore, the research was conducted to determine whether there was a significant relationship between the consumption of spicy foods and the incidence of dyspepsia in students of the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences at the Atma Jaya Catholic University of Indonesia.
Methods: This research method is an analytical observational study using cross-sectional methods. The main variables in this study were dyspepsia, measured using the Rome III questionnaire, and the frequency of spicy food consumption measured using the Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ). The sample consisted of 107 people randomly selected. The data was analyzed statistically using the Fischer Exact test.
Results: This study showed that 56.1% of respondents frequently eat spicy foods, while the majority, as much as 95.3%, also have dyspepsia. There was a significant correlation between spicy eating habits and dyspepsia, with a p-value of 0.014 (p<0.05).
Conclusion: The results showed a statistically significant relationship between spicy eating habits and dyspepsia, so it is recommended for students to reduce spicy food consumption as it can affect the onset of dyspepsia.

A Primer on Clinical Classification and Pathophysiology of Endometriosis
Authors: Mishra Anuradha , Modi Deepak
Published: August 2024

Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus at an ectopic site. It affects around 18% of reproductive-age females worldwide. Currently, endometriosis is diagnosed laparoscopically and is classified into four different types, viz (1) Revised American Society for Reproductive Medicine (rASRM), (2) ENZIAN classification, (3) Endometriosis Fertility Index (EFI) and (4) American Association of Gynaecological Laparoscopists (AAGL). This grouping is proposed to categorise endometriosis on grounds of severity and progression. However, there is no optimal classification scheme and each of the systems has its own merits and shortcomings. Also, the therapeutic value of such a classification system is not yet clear. In terms of pathophysiology, Sampson’s retrograde menstruation theory is the most frequently recognised explanation for the origin of endometriosis, but factors like (1) genetic predisposition, (2) Oestrogen dependence, (3) progesterone resistance and (4) inflammation are thought to be involved in disease development and progression. However, our understanding of endometriosis is far from clear, and there is still much to learn and do. There is a need for an ideal categorisation strategy that appropriately reflects the severity of symptoms, disease progression and response to treatment. Till then, women with endometriosis will continue to suffer, and clinicians will remain in dilemma while managing this complex condition.

Published: August 2024

Background:

The objective was to study the effectiveness and diagnostic outcome of frame-based stereotactic brain biopsy (STB) done for contrast non-enhancing lesions using indirect evidence of target selection observed in a plain computed tomography (CT) scan of the head.

Methods:

Data of patients with contrast non-enhancing brain lesions who underwent STB are collected retrospectively from NIMHANS Bangalore, hospital neurosurgery database from January 2021 to March 2023. Those cases subjected to plain CT scans after fixing the stereotactic frame to the head were included in the study. A final histopathological report analysis of these cases was done to assess the diagnostic accuracy.

Results:

A total of 27 such cases were biopsied. The mean age of subjects was 44.04 ± 17.812 years. Most subjects were in the age group 31–40 years (29.6%). About 55.6% were male and 44.4% were female. The most common site of biopsy was the frontal lobe. The most common indirect evidence on CT was perilesional edema at 33.3% and periventricular location at 33.3%, followed by intralesional calcification at 11.1%. Our diagnostic accuracy was 92.59%. The asymptomatic hemorrhage rate was 2%, and an increase in perilesional edema was seen in 2% of cases.

Conclusion:

Indirect targeting is a safe and intuitive method for biopsy of contrast non-enhancing lesions. Due consideration is to be given to various findings visible in non-contrast CT scans of the head as indirect evidence of target selection while performing frame-based STB of contrast non-enhancing lesions. This method will also be helpful in resource-limited centers, especially in low-income countries.

Published: August 2024

Background:

Few studies discuss the complication of pulmonary cement embolism (PCE) due to cement augmented pedicle screw instrumentation (CAPSI) of the thoracolumbar spine.

Case Description:

A 62 female with a history of multiple myeloma and Sjogren’s syndrome on chronic steroids developed an osteoporotic L1 compression fracture and underwent posterior stabilization with a T10–L4 CAPSI. However, postoperatively, the patient developed a surgical site infection and a PCE, resulting in severe respiratory compromise and death 1 month later.

Conclusion:

When performing a T10–L4 thoracolumbar CAPSI (i.e., augmented pedicle screw instrumentation of the thoracolumbar spine) to address an L1 osteoporotic compression fracture, a 62 year old patient developed a life ending multi organ deficiency due to sepsis together with a PCE.
