“O feminismo finalmente venceu”: metapragmáticas misóginas e antifeministas disfarçadas de liberdade de expressão
Authors: Albuquerque Rodrigo , Alves Suzy de Castro
Published: May 2024

RESUMO Almejamos analisar, nesta pesquisa1, como a misoginia se estabelece em uma interação no X (antigo Twitter), sob o argumento de defesa de opinião, para legitimar discursos de ódio. No âmbito teórico, concebemos, à luz da Sociolinguística Interacional e da Pragmática, que as estratégias de impolidez colaboram com a construção de cenários de violência linguístico-discursiva em interações mediadas on-line, na medida em que tanto reduzem a distância interlocutiva quanto geram metapragmáticas machistas, misóginas, patriarcais e antifeministas. No âmbito metodológico, inscrevemo-nos em uma abordagem qualitativa para, a partir do método netnográfico, analisarmos uma interação no X a partir dos critérios de inclusão e de exclusão propostos neste estudo. No âmbito analítico, constatamos que os interlocutores C, E e F se valeram, com frequência, de estratégias de impolidez na construção de discursos pautados na defesa de opinião para atacar o feminismo e legitimar discursos de ódio.
Names, places, and dance houses: social units among the Eastern Tukanoans
Authors: Cayón Luis
Published: May 2024

Abstract Since Irving Goldman’s pioneering work among the Cubeo (Goldman, 1968 [1963]), defining Eastern Tukanoan social units has been a recurring issue in regional ethnology. Many late twentieth-century ethnographies produced solid knowledge on Tukano social structure by showing distinctive and exclusive features within the Amazonian scenario (such as language exogamy, patrilineality, specialized hierarchical clans or sibs, etc.). However, they also indicated some inconsistencies and paradoxes related to a discrepancy between the ideal model of hierarchy and patrilineality and a dynamic reality more attuned to equality and cognatic arrangements. Recent attempts to understand these paradoxes have focused on what a social unit actually means from an indigenous perspective, leading to new ideas about the fractal (multi-scale) character of such units and the way they work. These interpretations take the maloca (communal house) as a model, which evolves as it changes names, places, rituals, and specific narratives that serve to create permanent differences, which in turn produce disputes and alter kinship relations.
Nominações yuhupdeh: geração, cuidado e fortalecimento do nome-sopro-de-vida
Authors: Lolli Pedro , Felipe Henrique Junio
Published: May 2024

Resumo A proposta deste artigo é fazer uma discussão a respeito do que é denominado na região do alto rio Negro de ‘nome sagrado’, a partir da experiência etnográfica junto ao povo Yuhupdeh e tomando o benzimento de nominação como ponto de partida. Os ‘nomes sagrados’ são nomes próprios dados após o nascimento, escolhidos a partir de um estoque específico correspondente a cada grupo e conforme um princípio de senioridade que estabelece uma escala orientada pela ordem de nascimento – do irmão maior para o irmão menor. Ao mesmo tempo, eles também são designados de sopro de vida (na língua Yuhup, se diz hãg-wäg) e devem ser cuidados e protegidos para que possam crescer junto com as pessoas que os carregam. Mais do que abordar os nomes apenas como categorias classificatórias de parentesco ou prerrogativas – que determinam posições entre as pessoas através do gradiente da senioridade –, pretende-se abordá-los a partir daquilo que ativam, fazem e associam.
O que pode um mapa? Agência nos traços e caminhos dos desenhos do povo Hupd’äh
Authors: Marques Bruno
Published: May 2024

Resumo Neste texto, percorrem-se os mapas desenhados por comunidades do povo Hupd’äh durante a elaboração do Plano de Gestão Territorial e Ambiental da Terra Indígena Alto Rio Negro (PGTA), entre 2015 e 2019. Recentemente, trabalhos de mapeamento tomaram relevo nas comunidades, seja como demanda para a incorporação em atividades escolares, seja como mediadores em discussões mais amplas. O exercício proposto é o de realizar uma descrição etnográfica da produção destes desenhos, buscando delinear possibilidades de leitura antropológica. O texto é divido em quatro tópicos. Inicialmente, são apresentadas informações contextuais e históricas sobre os Hupd’äh, passando a uma breve descrição das oficinas realizadas nos trabalhos do PGTA. O cerne do texto trata dos mapas propriamente ditos, trazendo o processo de desenhar, a territorialidade que indicam seus traços, lugares, toponímias e histórias que compõem essas iconografias de n¯ih s’ah (‘nossa terra’). O tópico final pontua algumas leituras possíveis dessas iconografias como experiências compartilhadas entre anciãos e jovens e como uma linguagem possível para a afirmação territorial.

ABSTRACT Purpose To analyze the sensation of pain and the range of mandibular movements of adult individuals with temporomandibular disorder, before and after the application of the athletic tape. Method This is a double-blind randomized clinical trial, in which 22 adults with temporomandibular disorder participated, randomly allocated into two groups, with group A comprising 10 women and one man (mean age 28.2±8.3 years) and group B comprising nine women and two men (mean age 26.2±3.9 years). Group A was submitted to the application of the athletic tape on the masseter with 40% stretch and the group B to the application of the athletic tape on the masseter without stretching. All participants underwent the application of the Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (DC/TMD). Pain threshold assessment was performed using an algometer to apply pressure to measurement points. The measurement of mandibular movements was performed using a caliper. The athletic tape was glued using the I technique, with a fixed point over the insertion and a movable point over the origin of the masseter muscle. Participants remained with the athletic tape for 24 hours and were re-evaluated. Results There was pain relief in the group A in the temporomandibular joint on the right and at the origin of the masseter on the left. The group B showed a reduction in pain in the left anterior temporal region. No differences were found in mandibular movements after intervention, as well as no difference was found in the comparison by groups. Conclusion The use of the athletic tape over the masseter muscle, with stretching, for 24 hours produced relief from the sensation of pain, on the origin of the right masseter and in the right temporomandibular joint, and, without stretching, in the left anterior temporal muscle. There was no difference in the range of mandibular movements.

Authors: Silva Danielle Barreto e , Corrêa Camila de Castro , Weber Silke Anna Theresa
Published: May 2024

ABSTRACT Purpose To investigate oropharyngeal structures and functions in a pediatric population with Down Syndrome (DS) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and to correlate with the apnea/hypopnea index (AHI) and sleep questionnaires. Methods 12 Children with DS and OSA, between the age of 4 and 12 years old, underwent polysomnography (PSG); sleep questionnaires, Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire (PSQ) and Obstructive Sleep Apnea-18 (OSA-18); and speech-language evaluation using the Short Evaluation of Orofacial Myofunctional Protocol (ShOM). Results There was a positive correlation between ShoM higher scores and the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and between ShoM and the number of hypopneas. The orofacial myofunctional alterations observed in the studied group were: oral breathing, alteration in lip tonus and competence, tongue posture at rest and in swallowing, and occlusal alteration. There was also an increased risk for OSA according to the sleep questionnaires, as well as the presence of obesity and overweight, but without correlation with the severity of OSA. Conclusion All DS children show alterations in orofacial characteristics, higher scores being associated to severe OSA. Orofacial myofunctional evaluation may help to identify different phenotypes in Down syndrome children with Obstructive sleep Apnea, enhancing the need for a multidisciplinary approach.

ABSTRACT Purpose To verify the immediate effects of photobiomodulation on the production of salivary flow and the correlation of demographic, anthropometric and medication use data. Methods The study included 100 healthy individuals, aged between 18 and 76 years (mean 27.2 years), randomly split into an experimental group and a placebo group. Assessments of anthropometric measurements, self-perception of saliva production and sialometry were performed. Next, LASER irradiation was carried out at an infrared wavelength (808 nanometers) with 100 milliwatts (mw) of power at five intraoral points: on the sublingual glands and bilaterally on the submandibular and parotid glands, at doses of 9, 18 and 24 joules (J). Sialometry was repeated after each application. The control group received the same procedures with placebo equipment. Results There was a statistical association in the self-perception of reduced saliva in the experimental group for the 24J dose and in sialometry and in the reduction in salivary flow for the 18J and 24J doses and an increase to 9J, in both groups. There was no association when comparing the experimental and placebo groups. Multiple multinomial regression analysis revealed that the reduction or increase in salivary flow is independent of demographic, anthropometric and medication use variables. Conclusion The bioinhibitory action of photobiomodulation on healthy salivary glands occurred at a dose of 18J and 24J, while the biostimulant action happened at a dose of 9J, regardless of demographic, anthropometric variables and medication use. The self-perception of reduced salivary flow occurred at 24J.
Notes on Occupational Health, gender, and race in a postgraduate course: experience report
Authors: Hennington Élida Azevedo
Published: May 2024

ABSTRACT The race category is not part of the tradition of scientific production in Occupational Health (OH) in Brazil. In general, studies of ethnic-racial relations and work refer to barriers to accessing the labor/employment market and career advancement, and discriminatory and prejudiced relationships and actions in work environments, most of which come from the field of social sciences. Contributing to this scenario is the fact that health information systems have only recently been concerned with collecting and qualifying racial data. Likewise, race still remains invisible in OH training and stricto sensu postgraduate courses. This experience report aims to present a reflection on the recent inclusion of a class on social markers and work in a public health postgraduate program, analyzing significant aspects of teaching practice and the challenges of incorporating race and other axes of power and oppression into the debate in the field of OH. Faced with social inequalities and injustices in a structurally racist society like Brazil, there is no way for OH to disregard racism in the production of knowledge about work and its incorporation in the debate aimed at overcoming capitalism that exploits, sickens, and kills black workers.
Idea de universidad, neoliberalismo y movimiento feminista: Reflexiones desde una perspectiva de género
Authors: Rivera Andrea Garrido , Muñoz María Eugenia Soto , Molina Carolina Aparicio , Pérez Roxanna Correa
Published: May 2024

Introducción: El ensayo aborda la historia de la institución de educación superior como categoría conceptual, centrándose en el concepto de universidad y los modelos que predominan desde su génesis, como referentes que permiten caracterizarla en términos estructurales, y que requieren ser revisados desde una perspectiva de género. Propósito: El objetivo de esta reflexión es hacer un análisis crítico sobre la idea de universidad androcéntrica con la intención de promover la configuración de nuevas categorías conceptuales para la institucionalidad. Discusión: Los imaginarios de la idea de universidad que se desprenden desde la revisión conceptual dan cuenta de la presencia de una visión androcéntrica en su génesis, anclada en la neutralidad, lo que con algunos matices del neoliberalismo se mantiene al día de hoy. Lo anterior se expresaría en una academia subyugada a la rendición de cuentas, con una sofisticación de la segregación académica, donde la división generizada del trabajo sigue presente, así como también la emergencia de otras manifestaciones de desigualdad. Como un punto de inflexión se observa con atención como los movimientos sociales, y en especial movimientos feministas permiten dar un pequeño giro esperanzador a la condición instalada. Conclusión: La reflexión realizada en este ensayo por una parte presenta algunos conceptos que pueden aportar a la redefinición de nuevos marcos de referencia para caracterizar la institución universitaria desde la perspectiva de género, y por otra, proyecta la revisión de categorías importantes, no abordadas en este ejercicio, tales como decolonialidad, interseccionalidades, imbricación, movimiento queer, emanados de contextos universitarios empíricos a nivel nacional o internacional
Manual de cooperativismo y economía solidaria
Authors: Arango Mario
Published: May 2024

With this work, Mario Arango Jaramillo provides scholars of cooperativism and solidarity economy with a comprehensive manual on social economics. Through an engaging narrative, he takes us on a historical journey of cooperation, from the contributions of Greek philosophers to the current state of cooperativism in both developed and developing countries. Along this historical trajectory, he explores humanity's most significant moments, during which social thinkers made their contributions to the principles of self-management and solidarity. Furthermore, the author introduces us to the concept of solidarity economy as a new form of economic rationality that has enriched economic science with an ethical dimension. This perspective has enabled the transformation of self-managed enterprises and state socialism, thanks to the incorporation of a new economic factor: community. Lastly, he offers insights into the characteristics of existing solidarity enterprises in Colombia, both formal and informal, as well as other practical aspects of interest to those wishing to delve into the captivating world of social economics. Ultimately, it is a work that prompts readers to reflect on the context of their country. Keywords: Cooperativism, history of cooperativism, solidarity economy.
Healthcare Rights on Trial in Latin America: A Comparative Study
Authors: Gutiérrez Silva Rodolfo
Published: May 2024

Background: Many patients are being denied access to health services and medicines in Latin America; therefore, judges have to intervene. This trend of judicialization has accelerated during the past decade. In a similar vein, existing literature on the justiciability and judicialization of the right to health is concerned with the question of whether judges should intervene or not in the protection of the right to health. Objective: To evaluate the challenges arising from the litigation of the Right to Health in Colombia, Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico. Methodology: Qualitative, descriptive, and comparative analytical and methodological framework. It includes a literature review and 37 semi-structured interviews with judges, academics, and government officials. In addition, a jurisprudential analysis of the latest jurisprudence in the four countries was carried out through content analysis. Results: A Moderate-Downstream approach to litigation, concerned with the consequences of the judicialization process, is persistent in the four countries studied. This entails, first, the incorporation of some limits and conditions in the recognition of the right to health by courts and, second, in general terms, that judgments are not considering the structural causes affecting litigiousness. Structural causes such as corruption, pharmaceuticalization, institutional arrangements, and privatization are triggering the judicialization process. In terms of consequences, countries have also introduced new strategies, including tests, laws, policies, institutions, mechanisms, and practices. Conclusions: Courts should move towards intentional equilibrium in the recognition, remedies, monitoring, and evaluation of judgments. This entails being more reflexive and strategic rather than reactive and passive. In other words, the more immature the health system is, and the more structural causes are perceived, the more reflexive and strategic courts should be, and the more recognition, protection, monitoring, and evaluation should be promoted. States should also adopt strong measures against the structural causes and must operationalize a more practical rights-based approach to health.

This was to report a case of a 33-year-old Malay woman who was previously diagnosed with seronegative neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder ten years ago based on her clinical presentation, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the spine showed a long segment of the intramedullary lesion. Her diagnosis was revised to relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) when she had recurrent optic neuritis with an MRI showing juxtacortical and periventricular lesions. She was started on disease-modifying treatment and was well for six years until she noticed left eye central blurred vision, especially after taking hot showers or exposure to hot weather. Ophthalmological examination revealed left eye visual acuity 6/9 with a relative afferent pupillary defect. Humphrey's visual field also showed left centrocecal scotoma. She was treated with intravenous methylprednisolone with tapering oral prednisolone, which resulted in improvement of the left central scotoma, and her visual acuity reverted to baseline.

This was a case of an elderly gentleman with large bleeding basal cell carcinoma occupying almost three quarter of the forehead managed with adjunct usage of integra acellular dermal regeneration template after lesion’s wide local excision despite challenged with patient’s newly diagnosed bicytopenia to rule out haematological malignancy. Standard management of tissue reconstruction with purely living tissue (split skin grafting) has higher risk of graft rejection due to bare bone as wound bed. This limits the neo-graft ability to achieve optimal potential of imbibition and inosculation. Thus, dermal matrix usage makes split skin grafting difficult wound bed has higher chance of surviving and hence shortens healing time and reduces hospital stay.

Serous tumors are rare in the group of non-germ cell testicular tumors, ad are morphologically similar to serous ovarian tumors. Preoperative diagnosis of this tumor is difficult due to the lack of specific signs according to clinical and instrumental research methods. In turn, histological verification of a serous borderline tumor is also a difficult task and requires differential diagnosis, primarily with serous cystadenocarcinoma, which, unlike a serous borderline tumor, can metastasize and is generally characterized by worse prognosis. Immunohistochemical examination allows to exclude other tumors with a similar morphological structure, including mesothelial tumors. Due to the rare occurrence of testicular serous tumors, there is minimal clinical experience in the treatment of these tumors worldwide, and there is still no consensus on guidelines for their treatment. Radical orchiectomy is recommended for patients with border-line serous tumors.

This article presents a clinical case of a testicular serous borderline papillary tumor with a discussion of the literature data on the instrumental, morphological, and immunohistochemical characteristics of this rare tumor in men.

Undifferentiated pleomorphic prostate sarcoma is an extremely rare neoplasm. In the available literature, less than 50 clinical cases were described. Usually, the clinical manifestation of the disease is nonspecific and is primarily associated with bladder outlet obstruction. Additionally, most patients have normal levels of prostate-specific antigen, while ultrasound and MRI can visualize irregularly shaped lesions, often extending beyond the prostate gland. Diagnosis requires exclusion of other signs of specific differentiation, apart from fibroblastic and myofibroblastic. There is no established treatment plan for patients with pleomorphic prostate sarcoma due to extreme rarity of the disease. For localized forms of the disease, radical laparoscopic prostatectomy is often used, but more aggressive treatment options are also being considered, including total pelvic exenteration, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. However, in most cases metastasis is revealed after primary treatment. Regional metastases are often localized in the rectum, bladder, in the area of previous surgery, and regional lymph nodes, while distant metastases are found in the lungs, liver, bones and distant lymph nodes, thereby indicating aggressive progression and poor prognosis of the disease.

In this article, we present our own clinical observation of a patient with confirmed undifferentiated pleomorphic prostate sarcoma.

Introduction. The phase 3 CLEAR study demonstrated that lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab significantly improved efficacy versus sunitinib as first-line treatment for patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Prognostic features including presence and/or site of baseline metastases, prior nephrectomy, and sarcomatoid features have been associated with disease and treatment success. This subsequent analysis explores outcomes in patients with or without specific prognostic features.

Methods. In CLEAR, patients with clear cell RCC were randomly assigned (1:1:1) to receive either lenvatinib (20 mg/day) plus pembrolizumab (200 mg every 3 weeks), lenvatinib (18 mg/day) plus everolimus (5 mg/day), or sunitinib alone (50 mg/day, 4 weeks on, 2 weeks off). In this report, progression-free survival, overall survival, and objective response rate were all assessed in the lenvatinib-plus-pembrolizumab and the sunitinib arms, based on baseline features: lung metastases, bone metastases, liver metastases, prior nephrectomy, and sarcomatoid histology.

Results. In all the assessed subgroups, median progression-free survival was longer with lenvatinib plus-pembrolizumab than with sunitinib treatment, notably among patients with baseline bone metastases (hazard ratio (HR) 0.33; 95 % confidence interval (CI) 0.21–0.52) and patients with sarcomatoid features (HR 0.39; 95 % CI 0.18–0.84). Median overall survival favored lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab over sunitinib irrespective of metastatic lesions at baseline, prior nephrectomy, and sarcomatoid features. Of interest, among patients with baseline bone metastases the HR for survival was 0.50 (95 % CI 0.30–0.83) and among patients with sarcomatoid features the HR for survival was 0.91 (95 % CI 0.32–2.58); though for many groups, median overall survival was not reached. Objective response rate also favored lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab over sunitinib across all subgroups; similarly, complete responses also followed this pattern.

Conclusion. Efficacy outcomes improved following treatment with lenvatinib-plus-pembrolizumab versus sunitinib in patients with RCC – irrespective of the presence or absence of baseline lung metastases, baseline bone metastases, baseline liver metastases, prior nephrectomy, or sarcomatoid features. These findings corroborate those of the primary CLEAR study analysis in the overall population and support lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab as a standard of care in 1L treatment for patients with advanced RCC.
POLICY OF NEW HORIZONS OF UKRAINE IN THE ASIAN DIRECTION

Published: May 2024

The article examines the new horizons policy in relation to the Asian continent, which was announced by the President of Ukraine at the annual Conference of Ambassadors of Ukraine at the end of December 2022. It is stated that the policy of Asian countries regarding Putin’s war against Ukraine is the policy of a «toothless tiger». It is assumed that due to the war and collective Western sanctions against countries that bought Russian weapons, Russia lost its position as the number one arms seller to Southeast Asia, Central Asia, and India. It was recommended to the specialists of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine to strengthen the coordination of efforts between the member states of ASEAN, Central Asia, India, and China, to expand the International Contact Group for ensuring the defense of Ukraine (the Ramstein coalition) at the expense of these countries in order to defeat the russian occupier. It is emphasized that the russian-Ukrainian war has a fundamental impact on the world system of international relations in the security, economic, and trade components and destroys the European security system.
SOME HISTORICAL AND POLITICAL ASPECTS OF INTERNATIONAL PROTECTION OF REFUGEES AND IDPS
Authors:   Baku Slavic University, Nasirova Kamala Fuad
Published: May 2024

The article analyzes the historical and political aspects of international protection of refugees and internally displaced persons, the history of international protection of refugees and internally displaced persons, the political roots of the issue of refugees and internally displaced persons, the ancient, medieval and modern stages of the problem. In the article, the author emphasizes that the refugee phenomenon has political roots, and even emphasizes the importance of the role of historical and political elements among the causes of this problem. Therefore, the history of international protection of refugees and internally displaced persons gives grounds to say that this problem is primarily a product of the system of interstate political and military relations, international political cataclysms and transnational conflict situations. The article emphasizes that the international protection of refugees and internally displaced persons in scientific sources on international relations stems from the practice of the first interstate, inter-tribal agreement.

Dental implantation is widely used to achieve functional results of dentoalveolar region rehabilitation. Moreover, an increase in the volume of supporting tissues of approximately 43–77% is needed. In addition, current approaches for the augmentation of tissue structures do not always show the expected results. Problems with the growth of new supporting tissues are commonly caused by the reduced activity of inducing factors of local and systemic levels in the human body. A critical deficiency of the support structures significantly affects the result of ridge augmentation interventions. In this regard, a regenerative approach using biomaterials with inducing properties is relevant for modeling early processes of neovascularization and osteohistogenesis in the area of interest and achieves functional outcomes.
To review modern achievements of intraoral reconstruction of supporting tissue defects, including bioengineering for the regeneration of the alveolar ridge and covering structures.
An electronic search of literature sources was performed in PubMed using the keywords mentioned in PubMed and MeSH headings. The formats “review”, “systematic review”, and “clinical trial” were requested. The search depth was 20 years.
Of the 378 articles found, 44 met the inclusion criteria set for this review. The prerequisites for the reconstruction of the alveolar ridge focusing on early vascularization of de novo tissues were outlined, and the advantages and disadvantages of bone and soft tissue grafts using osteosubstituting biomaterials for bone augmentation and integumentary tissues were characterized. The results of research efforts in the framework of the use of mesenchymal stem cells, which play a crucial role in the regeneration of the alveolar bone and gum, were presented. The evolution of tissue engineering structures for intraoral integumentary tissues — from thin layers of epithelial cells to three-dimensional structures, which are the epithelized equivalents of the oral mucosa, was presented.
The rapidly increasing number of studies of the biomaterial properties of various chemisms, growth factors, and stem cells and the active development of tissue engineering currently indicate the prospects of scientific thought for the development of next-generation biomaterials, which can work effectively owing to their tissue regeneration activity and unique architecture.

BACKGROUND: Ultrasound assessment of cervical length is an integral part of a comprehensive examination during pregnancy, but it does not provide a complete picture of structural changes in the cervix. The use of E-Cervix elastography is a promising method to assess cervical remodeling throughout the gestation period.
AIM: The aim of this study was to evaluate the possibility of using automated cervical elastography in clinical practice to analyze the main parameters of cervical elasticity and hardness in pregnancy.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: This prospective pilot study included 136 patients with singleton pregnancies at gestational ages ranging from 7+0 to 41+0 weeks. Cervical elastography was performed using E-Cervix software of the W10 diagnostic ultrasound system (Samsung Medison Co., Ltd., South Korea) with evaluation of quantitative parameters such as hardness ratio, elasticity contrast index, internal os, external os.
RESULTS: Correlation analysis showed that hardness ratio decreased with increasing gestational age (ρ = −0.439) and decreasing cervical length (ρ = 0.408; p 0.001). In the group of patients with cervical length less than 25 mm, there was a decrease in hardness ratio compared to the control group (48.0 vs. 63.8%, respectively; p 0.001). The elasticity contrast index score, which reflects cervical tissue heterogeneity, increased with gestational age and cervical shortening (ρ = 0.368 and −0.450, respectively), the parameter being higher in patients with cervical length less than 25 mm [4.73 (IQR 4.21–5.90); p 0.001]. The increase in internal os and external os with gestational age (ρ = 0.433 and ρ = 0.365, respectively; p 0.001) indicates softening of the cervix and is accompanied by its shortening.
CONCLUSIONS: Results indicate decreased hardness and increased elasticity of the cervix with increasing gestational age and decreased cervical length. E-Cervix technology allows for assessing structural changes in the cervix throughout pregnancy, starting from early gestation.

BACKGROUND: Fetal growth restriction, which is considered as a multifactorial pathology, is a critical problem in obstetrics. The role of mitochondrial dysfunction in the pathogenesis of fetal growth restriction is not yet clear. However, it is known that it leads to oxidative stress, damage to cells and tissues, and dysfunction of key mechanisms for maintaining energy balance, the outcome of which may be the development of placental insufficiency. It is likely that AT-rich interactive domain-containing protein 1A (ARID1A) is involved in the development and function of the human placenta and may be an important marker in the development of fetal growth restriction.
AIM: The aim of this study was to evaluate ARID1A protein expression in the placental villous tree in late fetal growth restriction.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study included 50 placentas from children born at full-term gestation (37–40 weeks). The main study group consisted of placentas with late fetal growth restriction and without major extragenital pathology (n = 35). The control group comprised 15 placentas without fetal growth restriction (n = 15). Histological (n = 50) and immunohistochemical examinations of placentas (15 placentas in the main group and 10 placentas in the control group) using primary monoclonal antibodies to ARID1A were performed.
RESULTS: In the study group with fetal growth restriction, chronic placental insufficiency was verified in all cases, dissociated chronic placental insufficiency (25 cases; 71.4%) being predominant, of which 23 cases (92%) were compensated, including 16 cases (69.6%) with moderate circulatory disorders. Hypoplastic chronic placental insufficiency was diagnosed in ten cases (28.6%) and was subcompensated with the presence of pronounced circulatory disorders. In the arteries of the stem villi, the ARID1A protein expression area did not differ between the study groups (p = 0.096), while in the veins in the stem villi with fetal growth restriction, we verified a decrease compared to control (p = 0.05). In the vascular bed of the villi with subcompensated dissociated chronic placental insufficiency, ARID1A protein expression was higher compared to hypoplastic chronic placental insufficiency (p = 0.041).
CONCLUSIONS: Chronic placental insufficiency combined with fetal growth restriction is a serious complication of pregnancy with the development of structural and functional abnormalities and dysregulation of placental mechanisms. The ARIDA1A protein expression data obtained, depending on the degree of compensation for chronic placental insufficiency, may indicate the activation of compensatory metabolic mechanisms to maintain the functional activity of the placenta and preserve the viability of the fetus.

Objective: This study aims to assess the compatibility of the terms used in studies on substance use and addiction published within TÜBİTAK ULAKBİM TR index for the last ten years.
Methods: Studies using any of the keywords “substance, drugs, abuse, misuse, illegal substance, addictive substance, marijuana, cannabis, opium, morphine, heroin, opiate, opioid, opium, ecstasy, methamphetamine, amphetamine, addiction, user, narcotic, drug test, drug, stimulant and pleasure-inducing substance, bonsai, ecstasy, captagon”, conducted in Turkey and published in Turkish between 2013-2022 within TÜBİTAK ULAKBİM TR index were included. The articles were examined in terms of the equivalence of Turkish-English keywords; appropriate use of the terms user and dependent by current diagnostic criteria on; appropriate use of current names of substances, and particularly appropriate use of the terms related to cannabinoids.
Results: Inappropriate use of substance names was detected in 39.1% of 156 articles included. Inappropriate use of substance names was significantly more frequent in articles indexed in the field of social sciences [χ2 (2)=21.64, Cramer’s V=0.37, p=0.001]. Furthermore, appropriate use of substance names was significantly more frequent in studies whose first author works in health sciences [χ2 (2)=7.78, Cramer’s V=0.22, p=0.02].
Conclusion: Terminological problems in addiction studies, in terms of harmonization of Turkish-English keywords, use of the terms of user or addict, appropriate use of substance names, and especially terms specifically related to cannabinoids take attention. Inappropriate use of substance names was more common in disciplines other than health sciences. Efforts for appropriate use of language in addiction research may facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration.
