Acer negundo is an invasive species. It is a serious problem for natural, protected, and other green areas of the cityof Perm. In some areas of small river valleys, it constitutes up to 80% of woody plants, and in public green areas ˗ up to 30%. Inrecent decades, the expansion of Acer negundo has been increasing. Its invasion threatens biodiversity, hinders natural regeneration of other plant species, and deteriorates the appearance of landscaped areas. The rate of distribution of Acer negundo exceeds the possibilities of visual surveys. Thus, the results of such surveys do not provide a reliable picture of the current distribution of the invasive plants and of the potential for their distribution. Our research work aimed to determine the distribution range of Acer negundo seeds by means of modeling. Based on a study of the distribution of Acer negundo in the city of Perm, the range of wind scattering of its seeds was identified. In the valley of the upper reaches of the Uinka River in the Motovilikhinsky District of Perm, the average weight of Acer negundo seeds, the number of seeds per tree, and the seed settling rate were determined. The tree was considered as a point source, for which the rate of discharge of seed quantity was determined, which was estimated as the source power. Further, by mathematical modeling based on Gaussian flare model, the seed dispersal range of the invasive plant was determined and seed flux fields to the soil surface were obtained. All calculations were performed for different conditions of atmospheric stratification and at fixed wind direction. The wind speed was estimated as the highest, with a probability of 5%.It was found that the greatest seed flight distance corresponded to weak and moderately stable stratification of the atmosphere. The distance to the zone of maximum seed deposition was from 35 to 107 m with a wind speed of 7 m/s.These data were prepared for developing a municipal program of phased replacement of Acer negundo in different types of green areas of the city of Perm on the basis of the regional law ‘On Green Areas of the Perm Region’.
THE EVALUATION OF DEVELOPMENT EFFICIENCY FOR THE TOURISM AND RECREATION COMPLEX IN THE REGIONS OF RUSSIA WITH THE DEA METHOD
Authors:   Perm State University, Konyshev Evgeny V. , Safarian Azat A. ,   Yugra State University,   Perm State University
Published: October 2024

The article presents the results of assessing the development efficiency of the tourism and recreation complex of Russia’s regions for the period from 2017 to 2021. This period includes both years of stability, characterized by predominance of positive trends in tourism development, and crisis and post-crisis years associated with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Taking into account the complexity of the structure of the tourism and recreation system and the need to improve territorial planning and management, an urgent task is to introduce a comprehensive, aggregated efficiency indicator to be used for assessment of regional tourism. The efficiency coefficient (efficiency score) calculated by means of the DEA (Data Envelope Analysis) method is proposed as such an indicator. The study is novel in that it develops a methodology for assessing the efficiency of regional tourism based on DEA. The essence of this method is as follows: basing on the theory of duality, having data of input and output parameters, it is possible to calculate the value of the efficiency indicator for a set of N-objects (in our study – subjects, i.e., constituent entities of the Russian Federation). For the calculations, we used a model focused on the ‘input’ and taking into account the variable scale effect. In models of this type, each inefficient object is compared with efficient objects that have the structure (ratios) of indicator values closest to the structure of this inefficient object. This allows one to determine how much to change the parameters of the tourism and recreation complex in order to achieve efficiency equal to 1 (which is the maximum score). The model used seven ‘input’ indicators and six ‘output’ indicators. The analysis of the results was carried out in the context of the tourist macro-territories designated in the strategic documents for the development of tourism in the Russian Federation. The data obtained indicate a decrease in the efficiency of tourism development in the Russian Federation, with the exception of a number of regions and two tourist macro-territories. The results of the study can be used to adjust regional tourism development programs.

The atmospheric general circulation plays an important role in the formation of weather and climate processes, providing transport and redistribution of heat, moisture, and angular momentum. Climate changes can have a significant effect on the elements of the atmospheric general circulation. To understand the general circulation patterns and possible future changes in its components, it is important to study its state under the limiting properties of the geographic envelope, in particular, the type of the active layer. The paper presents the results of numerical modeling of the atmospheric general circulation under simplified conditions of the underlying surface, namely oceanic and desert surfaces. The numerical experiment was performed on a global model transformed from the WRF-ARW model and it reproduced the atmosphere dynamics during one year. The limiting scenarios – either global ocean or global desert – reflected the role of phase transitions in the Earth's atmosphere. In the first case, due to the greenhouse effect, the circulation is not pronounced owing to the absence of a significant interlatitudinal gradient. In the second case, the sandy surface, unlike the ocean, cannot accumulate a large amount of heat, so the air near the Earth's surface cools rapidly in thewinter hemisphere and heats up rapidly in the summer hemisphere, as a result of which there are no trade winds. The combination of oceanic and desert zones (all homogeneous along the meridian) leads to the situation that the large-scale atmospheric circulationacquires features close to those of the Earth, which allows us to consider this configuration as a basic one for further numerical experiments. The experiments have shown the leading role of the absorbed part of solar radiation (insolation) and the contribution of water vapor (greenhouse effect, release of latent heat) in the formation of large-scale atmospheric currents. The implemented WRFARW model can be successfully used for modeling the general circulation of the atmosphere under different initial and boundary conditions.
Postanarchy as an Alternative Political Regime
Authors:   St. Petersburg University, Khokhlova Daria D.
Published: October 2024

Introduction. The paper deals with the modern theory of anarchist societies and states, with an emphasis on the figure of Jon Gnarr – anarcho-surrealist, who ran Reykjavik in 2010-2014.Aims. The purpose of the paper is to identify the reasons to legitimize the anarchist regime in the political science and the factors that impede it.Methods. The paper uses general scientific methods: descriptive, systemic, value-normative; political methods: neoinstitutionalism, rational choice theory, case-study.Results. The basic idea of the modern theory of anarchism is identified (in the political-administrative, legal, philosophical, ethical, and economic areas). The reasons for the lack of legitimization of the anarchist regime in political theory are identified. Anarcho-surrealistic reframing in Iceland is briefly analyzed.Conclusion. Marginalization and depreciation of political systems with the power lacking its central value occur in self-defense of the dominant centralized system, the dominant system itself isn’t optimal adequate at all. Thus, not only «history is written by winners», but also theory is. Politics-dependent political science narrows the diverse in the approaches of anthropologists, economists and lawyers to the same problems. Gnarr’s example shows how anarchy can destroy the myth of the sacredness of political power and the dominant masculinity of a politician by reforming political culture and influencing the entire political system of the state.

Authors:   The Institute of the Scientific Information on Social Sciences of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Semeko Galina V. ,   National Research University the Higher School of Economics
Published: October 2024

Introduction. France is one of a few European countries that have considerable experience in the decentralization of the State governance on the basis of the extension of the powers and responsibilities of local governments. Moreover, many of the problems of territorial administration, existing in France, are similar to those that have to be solved today in Russia.Aims. The paper aims to provide a retrospective analysis of territorial reforms from the beginning of the 1980th to present time. Here special attention is paid to the 2000 reforms, that had not been fully studied in home and foreign scientific publications, in particular to reforms of president N. Sarkozy (2010) and former president F. Hollande (2014-2015). Methods. The paper applies the analysis and synthesis of empirical data; system analysis; retrospective approach; comparative analysis. Results. The retrospective analysis examines the evolution of aims, areas and priorities of territorial reforms. The task of local government empowerment and their autonomy that played a central role in the politics of decentralization at the end of the last century presently gived place to other priorities, such as streamlining the organizational structure of territorial administration, the enlargement of administrative-territorial units, improving the efficiency of local governments, budget cuts and etc. Conclusion. It is concluded that, despite numerous reforms, a large number of problems remain in the sphere of territorial state governance in France. They are connected, in particular, with the imbalance of responsibilities and resource capabilities of the territorial units, not enough clear division of their status and authorities, high territorial fragmentation, etc.
Regularities of Formation of State Economic Policy in Russia on the Basis of Existing Economic Categories
Authors:   Samara State University of Economics, Vertey Olga M.
Published: October 2024

Introduction. Formulating an economic policy has always been at the focus of attention of the state authorities; however, it can be argued that in modern reality, characterized by the presence of turbulent processes, this issue has acquired a special importance. Application of the economic response strategy does not seem possible without understanding the basics of economic policy and its causality; therefore, there is a need in understanding the theoretical aspects that can be used as the basis for formulating a state economic policy in the context of the current conditions of the Russian economy. Aims. Aim is to study specific features of Russia’s economic policy, functioning in an unstable macroeconomic environment, in the context of theoretical propositions of economic studies. Methods: theoretical research, system analysis, deductive-inductive method.Results. Measures to restructure the economy and overcome its crisis in the countries of transition economies have been systematized. Identified are the fundamental recommendations, the transplantation of which would be appropriate for the Russian economy with regard to its mental characteristics and the specificity of development. Costs and benefits offered by the development of machine-building sector in the structure of the national economy have been estimated. The problem areas in human resources, science and technology development that hinder innovation activity in the economic environment have been considered.Conclusion. The analysis was made of the features of economic regulation, on the one hand, stemming from the conceptual continuity of principles and axioms of different scientific schools and trends. On the other hand, these features appear as a response to the exogenous factors influencing the economic environment. Taking into account the existing economic theories, the study suggests the economic policy options, based on recommendations and mechanisms for achieving the welfare state the importance of which had been historically proved, as well as outlines the opportunities offered by the current economic environment.

Nacer en El Salvador es vivir en un territorio de voces silenciadas, de olvidos intencionados y recuerdos fragmentados, donde la historia reconoce, aún de forma tímida y con grandes esfuerzos, las luchas y conflictos que la población ha enfrentado durante diferentes épocas para ser escuchada y reconocida en sus derechos. Se calcula que durante la guerra civil en El Salvador se perdieron alrededor de 75 000 vidas; de estas, el 80 % eran civiles, 9000 personas son reportadas como desaparecidas, aproximadamente medio millón fueron obligadas a desplazarse internamente y alrededor de un millón a salir del país (Organización de las Naciones Unidas, 1993).

Modelos mentales en estudiantes universitarios acerca de Evolución
Authors: Díaz-Castro Ingry Johana
Published: October 2024

La evolución no se abarca a profundidad porque las teorías propuestas son controvertidas y muchas veces se opone a las concepciones de docentes y estudiantes, lo que evidencia que en las áreas disciplinares de botánica y zoología no se implementa a profundidad el tema. Por lo tanto, se pretende conocer los modelos mentales de seis estudiantes de cuarto semestre de la Licenciatura en Biología de la Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas sobre la evolución, tomando las percepciones como modelos mentales, según la teoría de Johnson- Laird, complementándose con la propuesta de preguntas mediadoras realizada por Márquez et al. (2004).
 
La información recopilada se obtiene mediante la investigación cualitativa, desde un paradigma hermenéutico interpretativo, usando el estudio de caso como tipo de investigación y la triangulación de datos para el análisis de la información. La indagación se desarrolla en tres fases que permiten conocer los modelos mentales de los estudiantes mediante un esquema gráfico, uno conceptual y una entrevista, que son trianguladas para el análisis de los datos obtenidos. Se demuestra la afinidad de los sujetos por el modelo sintético, por lo cual es necesario obtener modelos deducidos y subcategorías para acoger y categorizar todos los datos obtenidos. Finalmente, se establece el uso de conceptos que no solo se enmarcan en un modelo único establecido, lo que evidencia que los estudiantes usan los modelos mentales de acuerdo con el fenómeno al cual quieren darle explicación.

Published: October 2024

A dependência econômica está atrelada a uma das formas de violência doméstica e familiar tipificadas pela Lei n. 11.340/2006, sendo um dos principais fatores que impedem as vítimas de denunciarem seus agressores e, com isso, continuarem imersas num ciclo de violências. Assim, questiona-se se a dependência econômica é fator preponderante para a continuidade do ciclo de violência doméstica e familiar, em especial, na realidade do município de Estância, no interior do Estado de Sergipe. Diante disso, como hipótese tem-se que as políticas públicas são ferramentas imprescindíveis no combate à vulnerabilidade socioeconômica das vítimas em relação a seus agressores, cuja capacitação profissional dessas vítimas no intuito de inseri-las no mercado de trabalho é ferramenta capaz de minimizar a desigualdade econômica e de gênero, afastando-as do ciclo de violências. Para a elaboração do presente artigo contou-se com pesquisa qualitativa, básica, de procedimento bibliográfico e documental a partir de artigos, obras, documentos oficiais e consulta a dados estatísticos de órgãos públicos, a exemplo dos dados de boletins de ocorrências registrados na Delegacia de Atendimento à Mulher e Demais Grupos Vulneráveis, dados da Coordenadoria de Políticas Públicas para a Mulher, por meio dos atendimentos feitos pelo Centro de Referência de Atendimento à Mulher, todos localizados no município de Estância, relativos ao ano de 2023.

Esta pesquisa objetivou analisar as práticas de lazer vivenciadas por pessoas idosas no contexto da Ilha de Cotijuba (PA). A metodologia adotada, sob uma abordagem qualitativa e quantitativa, utilizou como instrumentos de coleta de dados: questionários, conversas informais e observações diretas junto a idosos e idosas da Ilha. Com os resultados, se identificou 56 práticas de lazer, que variavam desde afazeres domésticos até atividades físicas, sociais, espirituais e recreativas. Essa variedade demonstra que a compreensão de lazer para os idosos de Cotijuba ultrapassa as definições convencionais e enrijecidas, como a polarização entre trabalho e lazer. Tais práticas de lazer são influenciadas por especificidades culturais, sociais, econômicas e ambientais, em que as tradições locais, a valorização do trabalho doméstico, a socialização em grupo e a conexão com a natureza são centrais, mas enfrentam desafios devido à crescente dependência do turismo, que limita, transforma e reduz os espaços e opções de lazer das velhices ilhéus. Apesar de os idosos de Cotijuba possuírem uma gama de práticas de lazer, há uma necessidade urgente de ampliação do suporte institucional para que seus direitos como pessoa idosa e ao lazer sejam plenamente respeitados.
THE EDUCATIONAL CONCEPT OF "RUSSIAN WORLD" AS A WEAPON OF RUSSIAN NEO-IMPERIALISM

The Russian-Ukrainian war of 2014–2024 led to the intensification of the information struggle in all spheres of life in modern society. One of the leading directions of the aggressor state's efforts was the transformation of its own education system and the spread of its influence in the international information space. At the beginning of the 21st century in the russian federation, a large-scale socio-political experiment was launched to change the worldview of its population. The declaration by the russian political establishment of its own country as a separate civilization with messianic tasks of a global scale made it necessary to search for a new educational paradigm that would ensure the successful reception of the ideology of the "russian world" by participants in the educational process. Clericalism, militarism, and xenophobia should become the new worldview coordinates of education. The final result of such an educational process should be the formation of an imperial identity among its participants. Thus, the russian neo-imperial educational concept is de facto a kind of information-psychological weapon. The implementation of its provisions will allow russia to obtain in the near future a powerful human resource for continuing an aggressive foreign policy course. Thus, there is a need to find appropriate and effective tools for countering russian influence in the educational space. The purpose of the proposed research is to reveal the peculiarities of the use of the ideology of the "russian world" as an organizational factor of the neo-imperial concept of education, which should contribute to counteracting anti-Ukrainian informational destructive influences.
ROMA WOMEN IN THE CONDITIONS OF WAR: ETHNOCULTURAL CONTEXTSTHE ROLE OF WOMEN AND WOMEN'S LEADERSHIP IN UKRAINIAN SOCIETY

Published: October 2024

The article is devoted to the topical aspects of Ukraine's current state policy on supporting national minorities in the context of a full-scale war. On the basis of social and legal principles, fundamental norms and re-quirements for the development of a democratic community, the author examines the problematic issues of state participation in the socio-cultural sphere of national minority development (education, housing, health care, employment, social security, etc.) in Ukraine. Based on the analysis of a wide range of scientific studies of recent decades, it is established that in recent years, the state's attention to the Roma as an organic ethnic community in the multicultural space of Ukraine has successfully synergized the efforts of Roma civic activists, non-governmental organizations and local authorities. At the same time, one of the problems with integrating existing programs to support Roma mediators in various socio-cultural spheres into national government programs is the inadequate assessment of the role of women in the self-organization of territorial communities where Roma live compactly and their involvement in solving local issues. The article emphasizes the growth of the leadership potential of Roma women and their outstanding role in socially useful activities and positive impact on the overall development of territorial communities in times of war. Given the circumstances of the Ukrainian present, the author concludes that there is a great social need and expediency of applying mechanisms and tools of organizational and managerial innovations to motivate the most active involvement of Roma women leaders and activists in cooperation with the authorities in the emergency conditions of war and to study this problem in detail by means of social sciences and humanities. The article identifies ways and mechanisms for solving the current problems of the Roma community and defines the role of women's leadership in Ukrainian society.
WAR / AWAKENING
Authors:   National Technical University ", HAIDAMACHUK Olha ,   Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute",   , Kharkiv, Ukraine
Published: October 2024

The article is devoted to the research of the motif of awakening in the discourse of Ukrainians about their war experience. Breaking the inertia of the usual everyday life and speeding up time, the war forces everyone to harden their gaze into the total uncertainty of the future and immediately react to all the weaknesses in the defence system revealed by it. Having moved from numbness numerous social processes in Ukraine (which can be an "opportunity" (Ya. Hrytsak) for their urgent modernization), the war needs an (individual, social-state, international) awakening, the study of the multiplicity of its manifestations at the individual level is carried out here on the material 13 oral semi-structured interviews recorded by the author during the fall of 2022. The examples of awakening (literally and figuratively) revealed in the transcribed texts of the interviews are classified according to five kinds, namely, waking up as: 1) stop sleeping, 2) start acting, 3) realize, 4) rethink, 5) rebuild memory. Three examples from different interviews were selected for each kind, and the semantic and tonal differences of the given examples were also analyzed. The main results of the study are presented in Table 1 created by the author, which is accompanied by detailed comments. None of the identified kinds of awakening is the leitmotif of the discourse of the interviewed Ukrainians, who mainly combined several kinds of awakening in their stories, which are sometimes fragmentary and contradictory. In the future, the author plans to investigate the motive of the awakening on a wider material, involving the materials of five more collections of interviews conducted by other participants of the Prisma Ukraїna research group, as well as scientific, journalistic, and fiction texts.

The paper provides the author’s point of view regarding modernization of the Constitution of the Russian Federation in the context of civilizational development of Russia. The paper examines the interrelation between the content of the constitutional norm and dynamically changing conditions of its operation and determines the reasons for the transformation of the nature of constitutional regulation. In the authors’ opinion, strengthening of the civilizational foundations of Russian society in the face of growing contradictions in the world political arena and in the global economy is possible only by referring to the rich historical experience of domestic state and legal construction, as well as by improving constitutional regulation aimed at affirming and strengthening state and national sovereignty. Modernization of the Constitution of the Russian Federation by introducing amendments in 2020 created the prerequisites for further sustainable development of the country’s political system and society as a whole.

В статье рассматривается проблема применения критерия творчества к оценке охраноспособности произведения. Анализируются различные подходы современных авторов, специалистов по авторскому праву, к применению критерия творчества к произведениям разных видов (в том числе доктринальные подходы, применяемые в странах общего права) и делается вывод о том, что требует серьезного учета зарубежный опыт и необходим переход от подходов к формированию единого критерия творческого характера произведения к дифференцированному подходу в зависимости от специфики отдельных видов произведений.

The article addresses the problem of applying the criterion of creativity to the assessment of the work’s protectability. The author analyzes various approaches of modern copyright experts to the application of the creativity criterion to works of various types (including doctrinal approaches used in common law countries) and concludes that foreign experience requires serious consideration. It is necessary to make a transition from approaches using a single criterion of the creative nature of a work to a differentiated approach, which depends on the specifics of individual types of works.

Background: Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease. In its pathology, it is thought that 1-alpha hydroxylase production and activation as well as 1,25-hydroxy vitamin D production from active macrophages take place. FGF-23 and alpha klotho are proteins that play a key role in the bone-parathyroid-kidney axis, regulation of phosphate and calcium metabolism, and vitamin D metabolism. We aimed to demonstrate the effects of pathologic conditions on bone metabolism and the occurrence of vascular calcification since vitamin D can be activated in non-kidney patterns and hypercalcemia and hypercalciuria can be seen in these patients.
Methods: The study was designed as a prospective case-control study. The study included 42 patients with sarcoidosis and 41 healthy volunteers who were admitted to Düzce University Medical Faculty Hospital. Age, gender, comorbidity information, BMD measurement data within the last 6 months, 24-hour urine and blood samples were taken from the patient and control groups.
Results: FGF-23 and alpha klotho levels were significantly higher in the patient group. There was a positive correlation between FGF-23 and alpha klotho. A negative correlation was found between FGF-23 and urea levels while positive correlation was found between alpha klotho and L1-L4 T-score.
Conclusions: These results suggested that there may be a relationship between sarcoidosis progression and FGF-23 and alpha klotho levels. Positive correlation between alpha klotho and L1-L4 T score in all groups suggests that alpha klotho may be associated with osteoporosis.

Background: COVID-19 is primarily a respiratory disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). However, extrapulmonary manifestations were also quite frequently seen among the patients. Aims and objective of the study was to assess the extrapulmonary manifestations of COVID-19 in a selected group of patients.
Methods: The study was conducted at RVM Hospital, Siddipet on patients aged between 18-99 years, confirming to the World Health Organization (WHO) criteria for COVID-19. A total of 307 patients have been taken into consideration for this study.
Results: Cardiovascular, neurological, gastrointestinal (GIT) were the most common extrapulmonary systems being affected apart from hematological and endocrine systems. Coronary artery disease (67%) was the most common cardiac abnormality noted and ischemic stroke (86%) was the most common neurological problem. Type 1 DM, diarrhoea, conjunctivitis, hypothyroidism were the other diseases frequently encountered.
Conclusions: COVID-19, whilst being primarily a respiratory disease, can also affect the various systems in the body. Having said that, the most common extrapulmonary manifestations noted were cerebrovascular accidents (CVAs), myocardial infarctions (MI), pancreatitis and diarrhea.
SULT1A1 enzyme booster to amplify topical minoxidil response in androgenic alopecia: a single-center prospective study

Published: October 2024

Background: Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is a common hair loss disorder affecting individuals across all demographics. Minoxidil, the most widely used treatment for AGA, has limited efficacy, benefiting only 30-40% of users. Previous studies have linked minoxidil's effectiveness to the sulfotransferase enzyme (SULT1A1) in hair follicles, suggesting that boosting this enzyme's activity may improve treatment outcomes in non-responders.
Methods: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a SULT1A1 enzyme booster in enhancing minoxidil response among AGA patients with limited prior improvement. The study enrolled 101 AGA patients who were non-responders to 5% topical minoxidil. Participants were treated with a combination of SULT1A1 adjuvant solution and 5% topical minoxidil for 90 days. Treatment response was evaluated using clinical assessment and statistical analysis to determine the impact of gender and age on outcomes.
Results: After 90 days of treatment, 65% of the patients exhibited a positive response to the combination therapy. Gender analysis showed a significantly higher positive response in females compared to males (p<0.05). However, age did not significantly influence treatment outcomes.
Conclusion: The combination of SULT1A1 enzyme booster and minoxidil demonstrated a promising increase in response among AGA patients who previously showed limited improvement with minoxidil alone. This study contributes to the limited literature on minoxidil booster responses in AGA, offering hope for improved treatment regimens for affected individuals.
Huge multinodular goiter with retrosternal extension: trans-cervical approach in a 39-year-old patient

Large multinodular goiters (MNG) with retrosternal extension present significant surgical challenges, particularly in resource-limited settings like Bangladesh. This case report describes the successful management of a huge MNG in a 39-year-old female using a trans-cervical approach, highlighting the importance of preoperative imaging, postoperative complications, and the healthcare challenges specific to developing countries. A 39-year-old female presented with a large anterior neck mass that had progressively enlarged over several years. Ultrasound and computed tomography (CT) confirmed the presence of a MNG with retrosternal extension. Fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytology revealed a benign follicular nodule. Preoperative biochemical findings showed subclinical hyperthyroidism and hypocalcemia. The patient underwent total thyroidectomy via a trans-cervical approach without the need for sternotomy. Postoperatively, the patient experienced transient hypocalcemia, which was managed with calcium and vitamin D supplementation, and mild transient hoarseness, likely due to recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) manipulation. The histopathological examination confirmed a benign MNG. The case demonstrates the feasibility and success of the trans-cervical approach in managing large retrosternal goiters, (RSG) minimizing postoperative morbidity while avoiding sternotomy. Preoperative imaging played a crucial role in surgical planning, and the management of transient complications was effective. This case also highlights the need for improved healthcare infrastructure and public health measures in regions like Bangladesh, where iodine deficiency remains prevalent.

Published: October 2024

Gastric migration after laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication is one of the most feared and least expected complications, due to the fact that it overshadows the patient's prognosis, increases the surgical risk of reoperation, as well as the anatomical difficulty of recurrence in previously manipulated tissues. Objectives to carry out a bibliographic review of the surgical management, the present evidence and the projected course in the approach to this complication, based on a case report. A 68-year-old female who presented on a scheduled basis with a history of multiple episodes of vomiting, with reports of several conclusive endoscopies with moderate erosive gastropathy and hiatal hernia of 4 cm as well as pylorus, non-assessable manometry and proposed surgical event of Nissen type fundus pylorus. Gastric migration is a potentially lethal complication where the only history of Nissen type fundoplication as an antecedent in the patient should arouse sufficient suspicion to direct an approach with potential surgical outcome as the only option for a patient that even if identified early, necrosis, pneumonia and comorbidities prevent a better prognosis.
