Innovative vector of Norway's maritime industry development
Authors:   Far Eastern Federal University, Kravchuk Aleksey A.
Published: February 2023

According to the updated Norwegian maritime strategy, its further economic growth will be closely linked with the maritime industry development, which is focused on satisfying the world economy's growing demand for food, energy, and transportation services. Along with supporting the traditional sectors of its maritime industry (offshore hydrocarbon production, fishing, coastal aquaculture, shipping, etc.), Oslo plans to develop some innovative areas of the industry, such as offshore aquaculture, offshore renewable energy and “green” shipping, which are the main research objects of this work. The author presents an analysis of the main innovative projects implemented by Norway in various sectors of its maritime economy. Amid the international community's concern over the global environmental situation, Oslo is actively developing and implementing advanced technological solutions in its maritime industry, which can not only reduce the level of negative impact on the environment, but also significantly improve its economic performance. A key feature of Norway's maritime industry development is the deepening of intersectoral collaboration, which enabled it to implement oil and gas technologies into offshore aquaculture and offshore wind energy, as well as traditional net-pen aquaculture technologies into offshore solar energy projects. Particular attention in the article is paid to the digitalization of Norway's maritime industry, aimed at ensuring automation or, in some projects, complete autonomy of the utilization of different floating and fixed maritime constructions (vessels, offshore fish farms and power plants).Moreover, the author assesses the Norwegian government's efforts in facilitating further maritime industry development, which includes educating specialists in information and communication technologies, expanding international cooperation, implementing public-private partnership programs, searching for new sales markets and revising the state investment system. In conclusion, the author suggests that in the future the global demand for environmentally friendly innovative technologies produced by Norway will increase, thereby providing for new employment opportunities, development of the national maritime industry and, as a result, the country's sustainable economic growth.
The victory of the Soviet state in World War II: Peculiarities of early memories in official sources as illustrated by a reference calendar for the year 1946
Authors:   Omsk State Pedagogical University, Levina Zhanna E.
Published: February 2023

The aim of the present article is to highlight the problem of official memories of World War II and the Great Patriotic War, the initial scheme for the formation of stereotypes of memories by means of official information. It is possible to reach this aim by referring to the provisions and principles of the theory of cultural memory and the concepts of collective (superindividual) memory. The choice of the calendar as the main source is due to the fact that the calendar, being a cultural phenomenon and an element of everyday life, can structure the world outlook and world attitude of society; it sets and creates stereotypes - memories and stereotypes of upbringing, and it forms rational and emotional memories. The calendar as a historical source can highlight some separate elements in the mechanism of the historical memory formation. Attention to the calendar as a reference book is determined by the encyclopedic content of this type of periodicals that includes: official and operational information about political, social and economic, scientific, cultural events in the country and in the whole world, review articles on the most relevant topics, political agitation notes, as well as political and informational texts. Such traditional official sources of the Soviet period as the copies of the speeches by Joseph Stalin, the copy of the report by Vyacheslav Molotov, as well as statistical materials, reference and review articles, the chronicle of the main historical events included in the 1946 edition, make it possible to single out the problem of the government and the people, the state and the people as the main themes of understanding in the official memories of this period. A great attention is paid to the role of the main parts of the social basis of the Soviet state. The war is seen as a test for the legitimacy and solvency of the state. The victory is presented as the victory of a new type of the state which is superior to other state forms in all spheres. The main provisions and structure of the historical presentation of the Great Patriotic War used in the reference calendar is preserved in scientific publications until the mid-1980s. Some specific political characteristics of the current events and strategic development plans demonstrate the preservation of the ideas about the “common past of a united humanity”, the equality of participants in the world historical process, “global generosity”, Russia as the family of peoples, the peculiarities of national culture and character formed by the Russian social thought in the second half of the 19th-early 20th centuries.
The explosion on 1 August 1918 in Omsk
Authors:   Omsk State Technical University, Petin Dmitriy I.
Published: February 2023

The aim of the work is to analyze the causes and consequences of a tragic incident - an explosion of ammunition in Omsk at the cargo yard of the city railway station on August 1, 1918. The incident is first studied in historiography. The following objectives are reached in the study. Firstly, the complex of sources that give an idea of the event were studied. Secondly, the factors and actions of specific individuals and forces that led to the tragedy and influenced the course of the investigation of its causes were identified. Thirdly, the research aspects were determined that emerged due to the anthropological study of the event regarding the situation of the Civil War. For the preparation of the work, mainly unpublished sources, stored in the Historical Archive of Omsk Oblast, were used. These are the protocols of interrogation of witnesses and materials of office work, which are part of the investigation file in the fund of the Omsk District Court, and the records of the victims of the explosion, made in the registers of the Orthodox churches of Omsk, available in the fund of the Omsk Spiritual Consistory. Memoirs, periodicals, and photographic documents were also used. The connection between the general historiography of the topic and the issue under study is described. The anthropological approach combined with the comparative historical and problematic chronological methods formed the theoretical basis of the work. Particular attention in the publication is paid to an attempt to a “politicized use” of the tragedy by representatives of the right-wing conservative public, who saw the cause of the incident, like all Russia's failures, as a “German-Bolshevik trace”. In conclusion, the author states the inconsistency of the initial version of the investigation about the malicious intent of certain political forces. The inquest recognized the cause of the tragedy as criminal negligence, initiating the closure of the case. This was also facilitated by the changed political conjuncture of the anti-Bolshevik Omsk, which perceived the incident as a local one. In the case under consideration, the anthropological vision of the past orients us towards comprehending the circumstances of the military and political everyday life of the Civil War, the psychology of the tragedy's contemporaries who lived in the militarized society, the influence of the phenomena of captivity and the human factor. The work is intended for a wide range of readers, including specialists who study military history, military anthropology, the Civil War in Russia and Siberian everyday life in this period.
English-language researchers of the 20th century about the events in the North Caucasus in 1917-1921
Authors:   Institute of History, Archeology and Ethnography of the Dagestan Federal Research Center, RAS, Salikhova Leila B.
Published: February 2023

The period from 1917 to 1921 occupies a special place in the history of the North Caucasus. But, despite the fact that the revolutions of 1917 in Russia and their consequences attracted and continue to attract the attention of both native and foreign historians, there were gaps in foreign literature in the border areas of Russia at the beginning of the 20th century. The aim of the article is to provide an overview and analysis of the works of English-language authors of the 20th century on the subject, their introduction into scholarly use to present a broader and more productive view of the problem. The study was based on the works of the 20th century foreign (Anglophone) researchers, translated by the author of the article. The main scientific methods used in the article were: the method of description, synthesis, analysis, principle of objectivity, etc. The article shows that in the first works of English-language authors material about the events in the North Caucasus was found among memoirs, descriptions of campaigns and military events recorded by military leaders, eyewitnesses and contemporaries of the period. Their attention was attracted by the troops of L. Bicherakhov and A.I. Denikin, actions in the North Caucasus, “ghost governments”, etc. By the middle of the 20th century and in the following years, monographic studies began to appear, in which, along with the study of events in the Transcaucasus (Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia), one can also single out material on the North Caucasus. Researchers began to draw on more extensive material, mainly from foreign archives and libraries that had Soviet material. With the collapse of the USSR, interest in the Caucasus increased, and researchers turned to the past of the region to study the processes taking place at the present stage. The works of Anglophone authors provide an opportunity to comprehend the historical background of the peoples of the North Caucasus related to the history of Russia as a whole from the point of view of foreign researchers. Their works contain conclusions about the influence of the events of 1917-1921 in the North Caucasus on changes in the military and political situation in the Caucasus and South Russia. But some of them miss moments associated with the intervention of foreign powers. Nevertheless, the materials of Anglophone researchers significantly complement the history of the period of the Civil War and intervention in the North Caucasus, represent the view of foreign authors.

Authors: Ye Linhui , Gao Zengxin , Rohani Saeed
Published: February 2023

Intervertebral disk degeneration remains one of the most challenging health problems. In the current study, allopurinol was loaded into the chitosan nanoparticles and then incorporated into chitosan/alginate hydrogels and then further studied for its disk regeneration potential in a rat model. In vitro studies were performed to characterize the hydrogel system, including scanning electron microscopy, cell viability assay, cytoprotection assay, cell migration assay, swelling assay, and drug release assay. In vivo study was performed in a rat model of the intervertebral disk injury. Animal studies showed that allopurinol-loaded hydrogels had significantly higher disk regeneration potential compared with other experimental groups. The gene expression studies showed that the animals treated with allopurinol–loaded hydrogel had significantly higher tissue expression levels of type I and type II collagen genes than other groups. Furthermore, the tissue expression levels of nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) genes were significantly lower in this group. The relative expression levels of type I collagen, type II collagen, NF-κB, and GPx genes in the allopurinol-loaded hydrogel group were 2.77 ± 0.2%, 2.86 ± 0.25%, 0.58 ± 0.03%, and 0.45 ± 0.02%, respectively. We showed for the first time that allopurinol-loaded hydrogel promoted intervertebral disk repair, which could be due to its potential to modulate oxidative stress, reduce inflammation, and improve matrix synthesis.
(official) Extraction of Herbarium material for chemical profiling - Protocol #1 v2
Authors: M. Borges Ricardo
Published: February 2023

From the perspective of the documentation of plant biological diversity, herbaria are the repository of intraspecific and interspecific variability. The rich assortments contained in these collections essay the diversity over time and space, in addition to fulfilling a referential function, keeping material testimonies of works in different areas of knowledge. This project aims to establish an integrated platform for the development of the application of chemotaxonomy as a classificatory parameter using samples from botanical collections. For this, this project proposes the investigation and application of quality control samples and analysis using a validated method following an analytical rigor that allows data obtained from different batches to be evaluated altogether. With the optimization and validation of the method, it is expected to establish a unique procedure, which can be adopted by other research groups that are interested in contributing to a progressive growth of analytical data from samples collected in herbaria in Brazil and in the World; this includes the logistics for disseminating the quality control samples for batch corrections. Initially, Solanaceae species will be used as proof of concept. Thus, it is hoped that it will be possible to point out the metabolic distinction in the form of biomarkers resulting from multivariate analyzes that are characteristic of genera and species within the Solanaceae family. This project will also allow the mass cataloging of NP of the analyzed samples; all identified compounds will have their spectral data submitted to open databases/repositories. Still, it will be possible to integrate efforts in the search for organisms and compounds of high value from different natural sources or inspired by them, applying chromatographic, MS and NMR techniques, in combination with the methodologies of dereplication and chemometric analysis and with the aid of studies using in silico molecular modeling.

A Review Study of Eggshell Powder as Cement Replacement in Concrete
Authors: Mahmood Lavan , Rafiq Serwan , Mohammed Ahmed
Published: February 2023

The extensive usage of cement concrete leads to a 5% to 7% release of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) gas into the atmosphere resulting in increased global warming. Also, the increase in world population and industry has led to the generation of by-product waste materials such as eggshells. Landfilling non-treated eggshells sometimes cause environmental and health matters due to their odor. The use of eggshell powder as partial cement replacement is a considerable solution for recycling the waste eggshells and decreasing the cement. It is believed that eggshells powder (ESP) are rich in calcium oxide and can enhance the strength and durability of concrete. The objective of this study is to analytically review the currently available experimental studies on the effectiveness of partial replacement of ordinary Portland cement by some percentage of eggshell powders ranging between 0-25% in concrete mixes. The database was created for the concrete mixes containing eggshell powder with corresponding concrete properties such as compressive strength, flexural strength, split tensile strength, slump, and density based on nine different research groups. The results from the previous works were analyzed and discussed. The model for predicting compressive strength was established according to multilinear regression analysis using curing time, water-cement ratio, and ESP content for 92 tested data. It was concluded that eggshell powder has less strength reduction than curing time and water-cement ratio.

Published: February 2023

During quick developing and increasing the requirement of the human life, with the progressing civilization in history, glass instruments (different types, sizes, shapes, and equipment) were one of the helpful parameters in human life. With increasing population and developing equipment, increase the production of glass in the world and recycling of waste glass become one of the main subjected by researchers to develop a quick and economic way to reuse waste glass especially color glass. This article includes a review of previous work for using a different type of waste glass (cathode ray tube, heavy glass, food, medical glass, door and window's glass, spent fluorescent glass, color and un-color glass) as a replacement to fine aggregate in mortar and showing its effect on the fresh and mechanical properties of mortar. The results show that, based on the chemical composition and grinding of particles had a different effect on the early and mechanical properties. The optimum percentage range of using waste glass which can provide property near to control mix vary between 20-30%. The effect of glass granular on fresh and mechanical properties of the mortar is dependent on the particle grading and its chemical composition in which, when 25% of waste glass from brawn bottle used in mortar increase 10% in compressive strength and decrease flexural strength by 6% while using 25% of heavy weight waste glass decrease 10% of compressive strength and 9% of flexural strength of the mortar.
The Impact of Exterior Additions on Cohesive Design Relationships: Heritage Buildings of Sulaimani City as a Case Study
Authors: Fakhri Yousor , Faraj Raz
Published: February 2023

The addition is one of the important concepts that accompanied the history of human civilizations since ancient times. It represents a civilized product that embodies human cognition as well as social and utilitarian demands throughout history. Designing for the historic context inherently brings challenges and necessitates a comprehensive understanding and sympathetic analysis of all aspects of the existing structure or buildings. A comprehensive understanding of the nature of heritage structures, as well as conservation philosophy, may help guide interventions or new additions. Will result in the most efficient adaptation process, preserving the original characteristics while developing the new structure. The aim of this study is to determine the compatibility of the new addition's architectural expression in relation to the characteristics of a heritage building. This technique is based on architectural and statistical analysis, which considers the heritage character of a historical structure in relation to its values. According to the results, the nature of additions should first be clearly characterized, and each new addition should reflect the identification of its own time. Rather of changing the scale or shape of the old structure, a new addition should complement and contribute to the feeling of proportion, emotion, and historical formation.

A Commentary on the Applications of Python in Resolving Issues Concerning Energy and the Ecosystems
Authors: Fadziso Takudzwa
Published: February 2023

The energy industry is just getting started with applying it to problems with energy and ecosystems so they can find solutions. Python's popularity has increased across a variety of sectors, including businesses, academic institutions, government agencies, and research organizations. The true potential it possesses to automate a variety of processes while simultaneously increasing the capabilities of various industries to predict outcomes has been observed. Because of the digital transformation, such as sensors and high-performance computing services, which enable artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), big data acquisition, and storage in digital oilfields, its popularity has been on the rise in the industry that deals with energy and ecosystems. This is one of the primary reasons why. This can be easily verified by conducting a quick search for the number of publications that have been produced in the field of energy and ecosystems by the Society of Petroleum Engineers over the past few years. Without having to invest in pricey software, the production and reservoir engineers will be able to better manage the production operation thanks to this development. In addition to this, it will lead to a decrease in the overall operating costs and an increase in revenue. As a result, it has been demonstrated to be a promising application that has the potential to bring about a revolutionary change in the industry of energy and ecosystems and to transform the features that are already in place for the purpose of resolving issues related to energy and ecosystems.
Effect of high-intensity aerobic exercise on serum uric acid in hypertension: compare with moderate-intensity aerobic exercise
Authors: Chen Yi-Wen
Published: February 2023

Hypertension is one of the major risk factors for cardiovascular morbidity and morbidity since high blood pressure can cause damage to microvascular and macrovascular organs. The Sixty non-smoker participants were divided into two main groups. Thirty participants group with high-intensity aerobic exercise and a second thirty group with moderate-intensity aerobic exercise. The electrical treadmill exercise is used three times per week for eight for each 25-30 minutes. Peripheral arterial blood pressure measurements and blood investigation in the form of serum uric acid and renal function tests were tested for each participant. The resulting data showed a significantly decreased effect on both serum uric acid and renal function tests in high-intensity intervals and continuous moderate exercise with more improvement with continuous moderate exercise 16% in serum uric acid and 27.5 % in creatinine. In conclusion, moderate continuous exercise reduces serum uric acid and creatinine better than high-intensity interval exercise. Both have the same effect on blood pressure and urea, but moderate continuous exercise has a crystal-clear effect that cannot be denied.

Published: February 2023

Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) DQ2 and DQ8 are the known risk genotypes for Celiac Disease. Diagnosis of celiac disease requires serology testing and intestinal biopsy however, genetic testing could also be implemented because of its high negative predictive value. Our study, initiated prior to the publication of 2020 guidelines, evaluated the utility of HLA DQ2 and DQ8 genotyping in the cohort of 537 children with celiac disease and their 1420 first-degree relatives. We attempted to evaluate its applicability in low-middle-income countries like India. Prevalence of celiac disease was observed at 18.52% and 15.68% based on serological and histopathological diagnosis in first-degree relatives. HLA DQA1*0501 and DQB1*0201 alleles were the most frequently observed alleles in index cases (84.4% versus 86.4%), biopsy proven first-degree relatives (77.9% vs 72.15) and serology negative first-degree relatives (67.7% vs 58.3%) (p<0.001). A strong association of DQA1*0501 and DQA1*0301 alleles was observed with high serology positivity (p<0.05). The majority of the subjects in our cohort had histopathologic scores of 3c (54.80%), 3b (22.13%), 3a (22%) and grade 2 (1.05%) (p<0.001). HLA DQB1*0201 was observed as 100% in cases with Marsh grade 2, 72.5% in grade 3a, 82.7% in grade 3b and 85.6% in grade 3c (p=0.017) mucosal lesions. HLA DQA1*0501 and DQB1*0201 alleles of the DQ2 genotype also predicted the severity of intestinal mucosal damage assessed by Marsh grading when used in conjunction with anti-tTG-IgA. When performed in-house using polymerase chain reaction-sequence specific primers method, the assay was economical in identification of mucosal severity in index cases and the first-degree relatives. Its value as a model for additive predictive value in the diagnostic algorithm of cases with tTG-IgA less than 10 times of the upper limit of normal needs further evaluation.
Sign Language and Multimodality as Indicators of Health for Deaf Newborns and Young Children: Guidance for Families and Medical Professionals
Authors: Humphries Tom , Mathur Gaurav , Napoli Donna , Rathmann Christian
Published: February 2023

Sign languages are complex and intact human languages essential to the development and health of deaf children and adults. Yet, still, many families and medical professionals think the optimal option for deaf children is to be raised with spoken language, usually including a cochlear implant. Cochlear implants, however, have variable outcomes with language acquisition. Medical professionals, especially pediatricians, need to update their knowledge and understanding of best practices to ensure they more appropriately support families to protect the overall health of their deaf child. The child who does not have a firm first language foundation is at risk of poor (neuro-) cognitive, psycho-social, and socio-emotional development. Developmental delays and life-long, irreparable damages can and should be prevented. Ultimately, securing a firm first language foundation is a matter of health. It is essential to back away from the concept of one-choice-fits-all and, instead, begin with exposing the deaf child to a visually accessible sign language in a multimodal and multilingual environment as soon as it is known that the child is deaf. With a sign language as the linguistic foundation, other practices automatically make more sense –including hearing aids and/or cochlear implants – and those other practices have a greater chance of success, even the development of spoken language(s) (including speech) and written language(s), which has been shown to be supported by the presence of visually accessible sign language(s) in the child’s environment.

For the study, records of clinical activity were analysed prospectively and in real time, to compare the type of visit, reasons for consultation, adequacy and complexity of the consultation during a week of May 2019 versus a week of May 2021. Results: During 2019 and 2021, a total of 88 General Practitioners participated in the study, collecting information of a total of 579 working days. We found statistically significant differences (p<0.001) in the number of face-to-face consultations (from 67.6% to 27.6%), phone consultations (from 8.31% to 35.4%) and remote consultation (from 0 to 11.3%), in 2019 and 2021, respectively. Clinical complexity, number of visits per day and number of reasons for consultation did not change significantly. The adequacy of the reasons for consultation decreased from 88.1% in 2019 to 83.8% in 2021 (p<0.001). Time to check medical tests, for reports and referrals increased significantly. The delay at 2 hours from the start of the consultation did not vary, but toward the end of the shift there was a significant increase of more than 6 minutes. Whereas fatigue at the beginning of the shift was higher in 2021 than in 2019, fatigue at the end of the day did not vary. Conclusions: In May 2021 doctors start the shift already tired, face-to-face visits decreased by more than half, phone consultations increased and the remote consultation was established in primary care services in Catalonia. The number of visits increased slightly, whereas the number of reasons for consultation and their adequacy did not substantially change. Clinical work without a patient and the delay at the end of the shift increased. A break of ten minutes per day was maintained. Further studies are needed to verify if this new pattern persists over time.

As a result of technical progress in the exploration of erectile dysfunction by caverno-venous leaks, initiated by conventional radiography under artificial erection, authenticated by ultrasound under pharmacological stimulation, cavernoscanner is proving to be an indispensable tool for their precise localization. The study of 337 consecutive examinations carried out over 5 years (2015-2020) with the Vizua platform made it possible to confirm the initial classification proposed by Virag and Paul, distinguishing between no leakage (A), deep leakage (B), superficial leakage (C), and the addition of deep and superficial leakage (D); and to identify two additional locations: opacification of the corpus spongiosum and leakage from the bottom of the corpora cavernosa. A total of 11.57% had no leakage, giving an efficiency of 88.3% for the orientation by pharmacologically stimulated ultrasound; 20.17% had a deep leakage, of which 10.9% were isolated; 15.3% had a superficial leakage, of which 5.4% were isolated; finally 46% had mixed leakage, of which 20.47% had no communication with the corpus spongiosum and leakage through the floor of the corpora cavernosa. CT scan was performed under pharmacological stimulation and contrast medium perfusion with 3 acquisition passages: filling, state phase and emptying. The study of the native and reconstructed images allows the systematized localizations, the evaluation of the severity of the leakage based on the rigidity obtained and the speed of evacuation with or without bladder opacification. Complications are minor (ecchymosis) and the very rare persistence of a rigid erection (n=3) well controlled by injection of the alpha-blocker etilefrine.
Challenges associated with active lupus nephritis in pregnancy and distinguishing between lupus nephritis and preeclampsia: Case report of a high-pressure situation
Authors: Saklecha Anokhi , Smith Chelsey
Published: February 2023

Active lupus nephritis poses severe maternal and fetal risks in pregnant patients. Management in pregnancy is challenging and limited by lack of pregnancy-safe medication options. Preeclampsia is an associated maternal risk that shares many clinical features with lupus nephritis, often making it difficult to identify the primary disease process. In this report, we present a case of severe preeclampsia superimposed on active lupus nephritis in a 25-year-old pregnant female. We highlight the risks and management options for lupus nephritis in pregnancy, the overlaps in presentation between lupus nephritis and preeclampsia, and techniques to clinically distinguish between the two.

Background: International research indicates that patients’ needs for return-to-work (RTW) support should be addressed and integrated within the curative healthcare process and as early as possible in the treatment process. Using intervention mapping, a hospital based RTW intervention, named BRIDGE (Bridging health care and workspace), was developed with an emphasis on bridging the gap between healthcare and the workplace. The aims of this evaluation were (a) to determine whether BRIDGE contributes to restoring participation and increasing quality of life for BC patients during their RTW process; and (b) to identify the needs and experiences of patients and healthcare professionals during this transmural intervention process. This paper describes the quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the intervention. Method: The mixed-method design of this study assessed quantitative outcome measures on patient level (perceived Quality of life), number of days on sick leave, relapse and experience with RTW support; and on healthcare worker level (days of duration of the RTW guided process, perception of satisfaction with RTW support and time spent by the occupational therapist and the multidisciplinary team). Semi structured interviews were used to evaluate qualitative measures on patient level, focus-group discussion was used to collect healthcare providers’ perceptions. Results: Of all eligible patients (n =179), 79 accepted to participate. Randomisation attributed 43 participants to the intervention group (IG) and 36 to the control group (CG). The outcomes showed that patients felt respected and empowered in their choices and actions regarding their professional career and that health care providers perceive the intervention as valuable support for their patients. Conclusions: The BRIDGE intervention is highly appreciated both by HCPs and BC patients. Improvements can be made by elaborating the thoughtful follow-up which enables the BCM to stay in touch, to enable indication of the right moment for each patient to engage in the RTW process. It also would reinforce insights for the BCM to provide the type of service that fits patients’ and all other stakeholders’ needs. On the other hand, HCPs are not comfortable with the content as well as the potential impact. More emphasis on the thoughtful follow-up is needed to motivate HCPs to align with the idea of the BRIDGE intervention.

The SARS-CoV-2 virus leads to symptoms ranging from mild flu symptoms to severe COVID-19 pneumonia requiring mechanical ventilation and even death. According to epidemiological observations, diabetes mellitus is a major risk factor for severe outcome, next to older age, s, hypertension, and other serious chronic illnesses. Recent studies have determined that the oral cavity mucosa is the main entry portal for the SARS-CoV-2 virus into the body. The viruses accumulate in the mouth at locations where the main viral receptor is highly expressed. The oral pathway of the virus into the body and the contributing factors are described in this review. The immune system of people with diabetes is generally impaired. Diabetes induces chronic systemic inflammation, which regularly manifests as periodontitis in the oral cavity. Furthermore, frequent hyperglycemia leads to additional weakening of the mucosal immune barrier. These findings provide plausible explanations for the more frequent severe courses of respiratory viral infections in diabetes patients. An oral examination helps to identify patients at elevated risk. Activated matrix metalloproteinase-8 (aMMP-8) is an established biomarker for measuring the degree of oral inflammation and is an indicator of the destruction of collagen and bone structures in the mouth. aMMP-8 point-of-care tests are readily available. We propose that the current recommendations for the prevention of SARS-CoV-2-associated severe COVID-19 disease should be extended to consider the aspects of measuring and sanitizing oral health, as well as to include preventive regular daily disinfection of the mouth and the pharynx.
Suppression of Multiple Sclerosis by Ultraviolet Light
Authors: Plum Lori , DeLuca Hector
Published: February 2023

The inverse relationship of multiple sclerosis to sunlight exposure was proposed at least 50 years ago but conclusive evidence is unavailable. Since the proposal was made, many researchers have jumped to the conclusion vitamin D mediates this effect. Vitamin D is a pro-hormone produced in the skin by ultraviolet irradiation and/or sun exposure. In addition, an inverse relationship between plasma levels of the vitamin D metabolite, 25(OH)D3, and a reduced incidence of multiple sclerosis has been noted. As a result of the relationship clinical trials have been carried out to determine if vitamin D supplementation can suppress the disease. The results have not supported this idea. In an animal model of multiple sclerosis (experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis) the vitamin D hypothesis was refuted. Ultraviolet irradiation, on the other hand, consistently reduces the incidence and severity of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. Because experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis is a widely accepted model of human multiple sclerosis, clinical trials testing the efficacy of the narrow band ultraviolet light in suppression of multiple sclerosis appear warranted. If in fact this narrow band light does suppress human multiple sclerosis, isolation and identification of the compound produced by this light should be initiated.
