Morning glory syndrome (MGS) is uncommon in Nigeria as is less commonly seen in Africans. It is one of the congenital excavated optic disc dysplasia apart from optic disc coloboma and peripapillary staphyloma. We report a case of morning glory disc anomaly (MGDA) with associated retinal detachment in a 9 year old boy, who presented with complaint of poor vision in the left eye incidentally noticed when he covered the right eye following a trivial trauma to the eye. Ocular examination revealed the best corrected visual acuity of 6/5 in the right eye and no perception of light (NPL) in the left eye. Cycloplegic refraction with tropicamide and cyclopentolate was OD: -0.50DS/-0.50DC×180 in the right eye and OS: -6.00DS/-0.50DC×180 in the left eye. He was not fixating with the left eye on cover test but demonstrated a 4-degree exotropia assessed with a prism bar. Anterior segment examination revealed a normal finding except for an afferent pupillary defect in the left eye. Funduscopy was normal in the right eye, but left eye revealed a large excavated optic disc with a central area of fibroglial tissue, multiple thin blood vessels emerging from the edge of the disc running radially in an abnormally straight course over the peripapillary retina. There were areas of peripapillary pigmentary changes and retinal detachment. MGS is an anomaly of the Optic nerve head usually presented with different ocular and non-ocular abnormalities, and it may be the cause of severe visual impairment in early childhood and subsequent development of amblyopia.

Authors: Tiwary Manish Kumar , Manhas Yogesh
Published: October 2024

Neurogenic pulmonary edema (NPE) is a relatively rare life-threatening complication characterized by the acute onset of pulmonary oedema. Although many pathogenic theories have been proposed exact mechanism or aetiology is unknown. We report a case of a female patient who presented with dyspnoea following tonic-clonic seizures. Further investigations excluded cardiogenic aetiology and significant improvement in the patient within 24 h supports the diagnosis of NPE as the primary pathology. We report a case of recurrent NPE in a 24-yr old female patient with seizure disorder managed by us in our department.

Authors: Patil Swapnil A. , Nikam Rahul M. , Sonawane Ratnadip S. , Akre Ajinkya H. , Shaji Febin M.
Published: October 2024

Glomus tumors are rare, benign, and vascular neoplasm of the glomus body, accounting <2% of all soft tissue tumors. The most common site is the subungual region of the fingers and toes. Extradigital sites, including the forearm, are uncommon and usually misdiagnosed because of their rarity and nonspecific presentation. Diagnosis is often delayed due to low level of suspicion. A strong clinical suspicion, magnetic resonance imaging, and a properly planned surgery remain the treatment. We report a 42 year old male presented with painful right forearm swelling for the last 1 years who had undergone surgical excision.

Published: October 2024

While thrombotic events are uncommon in individuals with Factor VII deficiency, they have been documented, particularly when other prothrombotic risk factors are present, such as recent surgical interventions, trauma, or factor replacement therapy. This case report discusses a 45-year-old male with a known history of Factor VII deficiency who initially presented with symptoms of fever and productive cough, leading to a diagnosis of lobar pneumonia based on clinical examination and chest X-ray results. However, after four days of hospitalization, the patient exhibited persistent coughing, occasional hemoptysis, and breathlessness, raising clinical suspicion of pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE), which was later confirmed via computed tomography pulmonary angiography. Treatment with anticoagulation led to significant clinical improvement. This case illustrates that despite having Factor VII deficiency, the patient developed PTE.
Malignant melanotic nerve sheath tumour of chest wall: a rare and diagnostically challenging case
Authors: Qayoom Sumaira , Goel Divya , Jaiswal Riddhi , Akhtar Naseem
Published: October 2024

Malignant melanotic nerve sheath tumour (MMNST), previously known as melanotic schwannomas (MS) comprise less than 1% of nerve sheath tumors and around 200 cases have been reported in the literature. According to the WHO 5th edition, it is now classified as malignant neoplasm due to its local recurrence rate and metastatic risk. Although it is classified as malignant, the histopathological criteria for malignancy and prognostic factors remain ill-defined due to its rarity. It also poses a diagnostic challenge as it resembles closely other benign as well as malignant melanin producing tumors. We report here a case of 33 year old female who presented with chest wall swelling and was diagnosed as MS (now classified as MMNST) on histopathology and immunohistochemistry. This case highlights the diagnostic difficulties and the importance of careful histological evaluation and long-term follow-up.
Basic principles of anchorage: a review
Authors: Sharma Disha , Thakur Gaurav , Gurung Deepak , Thakur Amrita
Published: October 2024

During orthodontic treatment, teeth are subjected to various forces and moments, which generate reciprocal forces of equal magnitude but opposite direction. To prevent unwanted tooth movements and ensure successful treatment outcomes, it is essential to effectively manage these reciprocal forces. Numerous studies have explored different anchorage systems in terms of their application, function, and effectiveness. However, practitioners often find it challenging to interpret these findings due to the diversity in study designs, sample sizes, and methodologies. A solid understanding of anchorage principles is crucial for applying them effectively. Anchorage control is a critical factor in designing orthodontic appliances. While extraoral devices can provide stable anchorage, their effectiveness heavily relies on patient cooperation. In contrast, intraoral anchorage tends to be less stable, often necessitating complex appliances and sometimes the extraction of teeth. Nonetheless, intraoral systems have the advantage of requiring less patient compliance. To achieve treatment objectives, it is vital to establish a biomechanical setup that delivers the appropriate type and magnitude of force. This foundational understanding of anchorage principles will enhance the effectiveness of orthodontic treatments.
Relationship between Low Carbohydrate Diet and Postpartum Anxiety and Depression: Iranian Maternal and Child Health Cohort Study
Authors: Najafi Kobra , Mozaffari-Khosravi Hassan , Hosseinzadeh Mahdieh
Published: October 2024

Introduction: Postpartum depression, a form of depression, is a relatively common but serious medical condition that occurs following the birth of a baby. This study aimed to determine the relationship between the carbohydrate diet and the occurrence of anxiety and postpartum depression symptoms in women participating in the initial phase of the Maternal and Child Health Cohort Study, Yazd, Iran.
Methods: This study was conducted on the data of 1028 pregnant women from the Yazd Maternal and Child Health Cohort Study. The study tools were food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) and postpartum depression questionnaire. Data related to dietary intake at the beginning of the study were collected in the first visit after pregnancy diagnosis and data related to depression in the second month after delivery. Carbohydrate intake score was calculated for each person according to summing up assigned scores to deciles of percentages of energy from macronutrients. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to estimate the odds ratio (ORs) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of postpartum depression and anxiety across quartiles of low carbohydrate diet scores.
Results: Based on the multivariable-adjusted model, there was no significant association between low carbohydrate diet score and odds of postpartum depression (P=0.08). However, multivariable-adjusted model significantly indicated an association between low carbohydrate diet score in second tertile and the odds of postpartum anxiety (P=0.02) (OR: 0.36, 95% CI: 0.15-0.86).
Conclusion: After adjusting the confounders, women in the second tertile of low carbohydrate diet score might have 64% lower chance of depression versus those in the first quartile. While low or high carbohydrate intake does not affect postpartum anxiety and depression, moderate carbohydrate intake might be anxiety protective.

Published: October 2024

Introduction: Social anxiety is characterized by marked anxiety, cognitive and emotional dysfunction in social situations and can lead to social avoidance behavior. The purpose of this study was to investigate the mediating role of self-criticism in the relationship between the fear of negative evaluation and self-compassion with social anxiety in Yazd medical students.
Methods: A correlational research study was conducted using structural equation modeling. The statistical population of the research consisted of all students of medicine, pharmacy and dentistry of Shahid Sadougi University of Medical Sciences in Yazd in the academic year of 2021-2022. The sample size of 250 people was determined; sampling was done by voluntary sampling method. Research instruments included social anxiety scale (Jarabek, 1996), fear of negative evaluation (Leary, 1983), short form of self-compassion (Rees et al., 2011) and self-criticism (Thompson and Zaroff, 2004), which were published online. Finally, the data of 227 students were analyzed by Pearson correlation and structural equation model using SPSS16 and Amos24 software.
Results: The results showed that the direct effect of fear of negative evaluation and self-criticism on social anxiety was significant (P<0.001) the direct effect of self-compassion on students' social anxiety was insignificant (P<0.05) and the direct effect of fear of negative evaluation and self-compassion on self-criticism was also significant (P<0.001). Similarly, the bootstrap results showed that the effect of fear of negative evaluation and self-compassion on social anxiety through self-criticism was significant (P<0.001).
Conclusion: Fear of negative evaluation significantly influences social anxiety, highlighting self-criticism's mediating role in this relationship.
A escrita como sistema linguístico e o jogo significante: um olhar sobre a aquisição da escrita a partir da teoria do valor de Saussure
Authors: Filho Jomson Teixeira da Silva
Published: October 2024

Este artigo tem como objetivo principal apresentar um questionamento da concepção de escrita como representação de um significante primeiro e natural, a fala. Para tanto, apoiamo-nos na noção de escrita advinda de Saussure no Curso de Linguística Geral (2003 [1916]) a partir da noção de sua Teoria do Valor. Revisitamos a relação entre o sujeito e língua(gem), especialmente no que diz respeito à aquisição do sistema linguístico da escrita da língua. Baseando-nos em autoras como Lier-De-Vitto & Andrade (2008), Mota (1995), Bosco (2005), Faria, (1997) e De Lemos (1992 e outros), pretendemos discutir sobre a possibilidade de uma perspectiva da escrita que considera o funcionamento linguístico-discursivo, o jogo significante e suas relações vistas a partir da Teoria do Valor, para a interpretação de fenômenos que emergem da relação do sujeito com a escrita. Nesse sentido, apresentamos dados de escrita infantis, coletados de trabalhos das referidas autoras para melhor discutir tais fenômenos, inclusive aqueles que estão pautados na relação oralidade/escrita.
Memória da violência “dos” indígenas nA Matutina Meyapontense
Authors: De Paula Maria Helena , Alves Maria José , De Paula Jason Hugo
Published: October 2024

O presente trabalho faz uma análise de excertos do jornal goiano A Matutina Meyapontense, com o objetivo de conhecer como nele foram tratados os indígenas. Neste intuito, selecionamos o campo lexical “violência” e elencamos algumas ocorrências em que o jornal traz construções referentes a práticas que teriam sido cometidas pelos indígenas; por outro lado, foram inventariadas ocorrências em que a violência contra os indígenas também se faz registrar. Possíveis motivações são dadas nas páginas do jornal que justificam as práticas de violências e corroboram para a construção do imaginário popular registrada na historiografia goiana, contribuindo com a memória de violência “dos” indígenas. Há que se pensar em como foi construído um “léxico de violência” para o indígena e a quem interessava essa representação; os interesses que permeavam as decisões tomadas quanto à ocupação das terras e aos processos de aldeamentos, conforme se vê no inventário léxico dA Matutina. Os resultados da pesquisa são discutidos à luz de referenciais teóricos do campo dos estudos da linguagem, que se dedicam ao estudo da comunidade social a partir dos seus aspectos linguísticos, com vistas a perceber as nuances depreendidas pelos discursos dos conselheiros e redatores desse jornal que circulou entre 1830 e 1834.

Published: October 2024

West Java is one of the provinces in Indonesia with a high level of seismicity. During August 2024 alone, there have been 134 earthquakes with 23 earthquakes centered on land. The high seismicity on land is caused by the many faults on the mainland of West Java. This paper presents the results of research on fault patterns in mainland West Java from earthquake data from 1953 - 2023. The data of this research was obtained from the USGS, BMKG, GFZ, IRIS and Global CMT websites. The selected data is an earthquake with a magnitude of ≥ 5 SR and a depth of ≤ 40 km with an area boundary of 5°85 ́- 8°13 ́S and 106°74 ́- 108°76 ́ E. Using the Focal Mechanism Method, it can be found that the fault pattern that causes earthquakes in West Java in 1953-2023 is 5 reverse fault, 2 Normal fault, and 1 Strike-slip Fault. The results of this research are expected to be used as material for the preparation of earthquake disaster mitigation in West Java.

Russian science of public relations: stages of formation, specifics, development formats
Authors: Krivonosov A. D.
Published: October 2024

INTRODUCTION. Any social institution presupposes scientific reflection of its activities. The purpose of the study is to trace the history of the formation of Russian scientific knowledge about public relations (PRology) as a component of a social institution, to characterize various approaches to scientific reflection of PR activities; to identify its national specifics and to determine possible foresights.

MATERIALS AND METHODS. General scientific methods of deduction and induction, synthesis and analysis were used. The rather small domestic literature on the theory and history of PR knowledge was studied and analyzed.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION. It is analyzed various points of view on the science of public relations – classifying, problematic and historical. The analysis of the development of the Russian theory of public relations is given and the main characteristics of the stages of formation of Russian knowledge about PR are revealed, which generally correspond to the periodization of public relations in Russia. In the last five years, monographs and dissertations on the theory of PR have not appeared, but a significant number of works on media communications indicate the vulgarization of scientific knowledge about public relations due to the lack of a single scientific view on the nature and specificity of media communications. The tasks of the current stage of development of scientific knowledge about PR are outlined: reflection of the state of the PR industry; creation and legitimization of a single professional glossary; registration and generalization of regional experience in the field of communications; comprehension of the experience of European public relations.

CONCLUSION. Among the foresight directions, the following are named: characteristics of the “model” mechanism of scientific description of modern PR-activity on the example of the communication model of G. Lasswell, operationalization in the scientific continuum of the concepts of “communication product”, “communication technology”. The area of application of the research results may be issues of the history of communication disciplines. In the prospects of scientific research, problems of interdisciplinary interaction of communication disciplines and the advancement of foresight topics of scientific research, reflecting the reflection of practical activities in the field of integrated communications, may be identified.
Chronotope of an thing or chronotope thing: a thing as a structurizer of space and time
Authors: Soloviev A. V.
Published: October 2024

INTRODUCTION. The study is a philosophical and cultural analysis of the “thing” concept as a cultural form that structures the space and time of an individual’s daily existence. The main focus is on the role of things in creating and representing the chronotope, which is a combination of space and time. Things act as structurizers of space and time and occupy two positions in relation to the chronotope: 1) as an internal thing within the chronotopic space, and 2) as an external thing outside the chronotope. This allows things to fully realize their symbolic functions. The aim of the study is to substantiate the argument that things, as carriers of meaning and symbolic objects, play a crucial role in structuring and stabilizing human culture through their chronotopic indicators.

MATERIALS AND METHODS. The material obtained as a result of the analysis and synthesis of both philosophical and cultural studies of the thing as an object and phenomenon of culture is presented.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION. Thing is a complex entity and cultural form that interacts with the chronotope bidirectionally, objectifying and subjectivizing it. It can act as an “thing” and as a “phenomenon”, and its symbolic meaning can be deep and multifaceted.

CONCLUSION. The material presented in the study is intended to fund applied research on the spatial and temporal structure of human daily life, as well as for socio-cultural design in the field of preservation and actualization of cultural heritage.

Published: October 2024

The molecular classification of breast cancer plays a pivotal role in developing personalized treatment strategies, with the aim of improving therapeutic outcomes. Despite significant advancements, current diagnostic workflows are hindered by several challenges, including pre-analytical variability, interpretive ambiguity, and inconsistencies in threshold definitions, particularly in cases involving human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-low breast cancer. In this context, liquid biopsy technologies have emerged as promising tools for refining breast cancer diagnostics. Techniques such as circulating tumor DNA and circulating tumor cell analysis provide a non-invasive approach to assessing tumor-associated biomarkers. These methodologies are particularly advantageous for analyzing low-abundance materials, such as formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded samples and liquid biopsies, thus enhancing the precision of molecular classification and informing more targeted therapeutic decisions for breast cancer patients. This review aims to explore the potential of liquid biopsy in addressing the limitations of current diagnostic practices, with a specific focus on its application in HER2-low breast cancer. Furthermore, it advocates for a transition toward high-throughput RNA-based screening and quantification, which may address critical unmet clinical needs.

esfera mundial que é o agravamento do efeito estufa pela emissão de gases na atmosfera. O dióxido de carbono como o principal gás emitido pela atividade antropológica é também o que mais contribui com a intensificação do efeito estufa. Desta maneira vem se buscando alternativas para mitigar os efeitos das emissões atmosféricas, uma das alternativas encontradas é o sequestro e estocagem de carbono no solo. O presente estudo foi realizado na área do Centro Agrotecnológico de Palmas – TO, onde foram avaliados um sistema de plantio com cana de açúcar e uma área de mata nativa, ao qual se buscou avaliar o estoque de carbono em duas profundidades 0-10 e 10-40 cm. Utilizou-se o delineamento inteiramente casualizado (DIC), esquema de parcelas 2x2 com 5 repetições, onde se avaliou os parâmetros umidade do solo (%), densidade do solo (g/cm3), matéria orgânica (g/kg), carbono orgânico total (g/kg) e estoque de carbono no solo (mg.ha-1). Através da analises dos resultados obtidos pode-se concluir que o estoque de carbono tende a aumentar com a profundidade, o que foi demonstrado em ambas as áreas e ao se comparar as duas áreas não se obteve diferenças significativas nos estoques de carbono em ambas as profundidades o que demonstra que a cana-de-açúcar pode ser uma alternativa para a estocagem de carbono no solo, porém é importante ressaltar que outros fatores devem ser levados em consideração.Palavras-chave: Efeito estufa, estoque de carbono, cana de açúcar.
