Authors: Petrenko O. M. , Badziukh S. V. , Tykhomyrov A. O.
Published: January 2024

Background. Chronic diabetic foot wounds and ulcers are serious complications of the course of diabetes mellitus (DM), which account for 85% of purulent-necrotic lesions of the lower extremities. Pathogenetic mechanisms of "chronization" of wounds in the form of hyperglycemia, neuropathy, and existing infection lead to metabolic disorders in the form of tissue hypoxia and activation of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) proteolytic enzymes.

Aim: to study the role of autologous plasminogen on healing processes in diabetic wounds by modulating MMP activity.

Materials and methods. 45 patients with chronic diabetic wounds, who were divided into 2 groups, participated in the study. Patients of the control group (n=25) were treated according to standard methods. Autologous plasminogen applications were used for treatment in 20 patients of the main group.

Results. On the 18th day of treatment, a 3.5-fold decrease in the activity of MMP-2,-9 and complete healing of wounds was noted in 16 patients. In 4 patients, the wound defects were closed by the method of autodermoplasty with complete engraftment of grafts. In the patients of the control group, the level of MMP activity remained stably high throughout the observation period.

Conclusions. The use of applications of autologous plasminogen allows to modulate the activity of MMP and create favorable conditions for the healing of chronic diabetic wounds.
A magas tibia osteotomia szerepe a varus gonarthrosis kezelésében : Narratív irodalmi áttekintés
Authors: Gömöri András Ménrót
Published: January 2024

A magas tibia osteotomia beavatkozás célját, indikációját, az optimális korrekcióval kapcsolatos kérdéseket, az osteotomia típusait, a különböző típusok előnyeit, hátrányait részletezem. Kitérek a magas tibia osteotomiát követő protetizálás technikai nehézségeire, választ kerestem arra a kérdésre, hogy a magas tibia osteotomia javasolható-e fiatal, aktív betegek esetében a varus gonarthrosis műtéti kezelésében. A magas tibia osteotomiát, mint ízületmegtartó műtétet, az 1950-es évektől alkalmazzák a varus gonarthrosis kezelésében. A megfelelően korrigált osteotomia úgy balanszírozza a terhelési viszonyokat, hogy a mediális compartmentben a terhelés csökken, de a laterális compartmentben nem teremt degeneratív folyamatot elindító fokozott terhelést. Az optimálisan korrigált tengelyviszonyok esetén a tehermentesített mediális compartmentben regeneratív porc alakul ki. A magas tibia osteotomia hozzávetőlegesen tíz évig biztosít fájdalmatlan funkciót, utána az esetek nagy részében szükséges a térd protetizálása. A magas tibia osteotomiát követő totál térdprotézis tízéves túlélése kissé alacsonyabb, mint a primer totál térdprotézis tízéves túlélése, de a különbség nem szignifikáns, azaz a magas tibia osteotomia nem befolyásolja negatívan az osteotomia után végzett totál térdprotézis kimenetelét, emiatt az magas tibia osteotomia a fiatal, aktív betegek esetében effektív, a proteizálást késleltető műtéti beavatkozásnak tekinthető a varus gonarthrosis kezelésében.

Authors: Reka Nadia Revina
Published: January 2024

Abstract-In today's dynamic business landscape,
manufacturing enterprises like PT SFP face the constant
challenge of optimizing their production processes to remain
competitive. The Enterprise Resources Planning (ERP)
architecture will be used to develop an integrated solution to
automate work order administration and master production
scheduling. The production and planning division is a very
important process and is interconnected with one another.
Since manufacturing is the most demanding business
process in a company's activities, the significance of the
planning system is greatly raised. Even though the company
already has an ERP system that is quite integrated, there are
still many processes that are still carried out offline which
causes manual inefficiency, this not only increases waiting
time but can also cause anomalies. This project provides
ERP development ideas, especially in the Production and
Planning module for PT SFP by implementing automation
and integration in the work order planning workflow to
improve business processes. It includes the business process
of creating Order Confirmation (OC) Receiving Date Input,
and automation of planning work order creation, usage
standards in the work order and the work order itself. This
system is expected to be more effective and efficient in the field
of production planning using ERP web-based that can be
accessed online.

Діти з особливими освітніми потребами відрізняються від нормотипових дітей не тільки особливостями їх пізнавальної діяльності, а й своїм підходом до навчання, яке визначається фактором їхнього розвитку. Розумне, цілеспрямоване навчання допоможе компенсувати певний їх дефект, а завдяки компенсаторним можливостям та гнучкості їх нервової системи у процесі виховання відбудеться розвиток особистісних якостей. Метою статті є теоретично обґрунтувати особливості навчання учнів з особливими освітніми потребами основам наук природничо-математичного циклу в країнах Європи. Акцентовано увагу на головній вимозі до сучасного освітнього процесу дітей з особливими освітніми потребами при вивчені дисциплін природничо-математичного циклу – забезпечення процесу самореалізації та формування соціальних компетенцій кожного учня. Розкрито особливості навчання дітей з особливими освітніми потребами у країнах Європи: створення відповідних умов, що допоможуть кожній дитині самовиразитись (активність до самореалізації), самоствердитись (активність, спрямована на самореалізацію), самоактуалізуватись (активність на збагачення своїх власних сил). У статті наголошено, що найефективнішими технологіями для навчання дітей з особливими освітніми потребами є інтерактив, так як саме він найбільш відповідає компетентнісному підходу до навчання і виховання дітей з особливими освітніми потребами. Обґрунтовано доцільність їх використання у країнах Європи, через те, що вони дають простір для саморегуляції, створюють умови для того, щоб школяр сам прийшов до виконання поставлених завдань. Зроблено висновок про те, що у країнах Європи навчання дітей з особливими освітніми потребами є невід’ємною складовою у загальному освітньому просторі, що базується на основних вимогах сьогодення щодо виховання молодого покоління з метою забезпечення соціальної адаптації дітей та їх відповідної самореалізації, а відтак застосовані технології для вивчення дисциплін природничо-математичного циклу дозволяють кожній дитині залишатися самою собою, не відчувати незручності, образи від порівняння з іншими учасниками групи, класу та просуватися в розвитку відповідно до своїх природних можливостей.

Reduction of arsenic uptake in lentil through arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi
Authors: Alam MZ , Kayes E , Talukder M , Choudhury M
Published: January 2024

Arsenic (As) is a carcinogenic and hazardous substance that poses a serious risk to human health. The present research focused on the transport of As in seven lentil varieties developed by the Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI) viz., BARI Mashur1, BARI Mashur 2, BARI Mashur 3, BARI Mashur 4, BARI Mashur 5, BARI Mashur 6 and BARI Mashur 7 and the role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMFs) in mitigating As phyto-toxicity in them. The transportation of As from soil to root, shoot, and grain was lower after week 13 than in weeks 6 or 10 after lentil seedling emergence. The As accumulation in grains was higher in BARI Mashur 1 than in other test genotypes. Treatment with AMF significantly increased growth and biomass accumulation in lentil genotypes compared to non-AMF plants. Furthermore, AMF effectively reduced As concentrations in roots and shoots of lentil plants grown in 8 and 45 mg kg-1 As-contaminated soils. This study revealed a remarkable variation among the BARI-developed lentil genotypes in terms of As accumulation in plant parts. Treatment with AMF could effectively reduce plant uptake of As and mitigate As-induced phytotoxicity in lentils. The results reveal a great potential of AMF to mitigate As toxicity in lentils caused by the transport of As from soil to the shoot mass and reallocation to grains. This may enable farmers to expand lentil cultivation in As- affected areas throughout the world.

Published: January 2024

The present article reports the content of mineral content (Ca, Mg, Fe, Cu and Zn), and moistute in some indigenous fishes. Mineral contents were determined by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AA-6800) after appropriate digestion of the fish samples, and moisture was determined by AOAC method. Calcium and magnesium content were found to be highest in Mola (Amblypharyngodon mola) followed by Ketchki (Coria soborna), the iron, copper and zinc amounts were higher in Ketchki (Coria soborna) than the Mola (Amblypharyngodon mola) fish. The other fishes contained little amounts of these minerals compared to the Mola and ketchki. Moisture content was in a range of 71.90 g % in Pangas to 80.73 g % in Ketchki. The Mola and ketchki are very rich in mineral contents (Ca, Mg, Fe, Cu and Zn), regular intake of which would certainly fill up the mineral deficiency of the people.

A cross-sectional, observational study was done in the Pulmonology Department of Combined Military Hospital (CMH) Dhaka Cantonment, Bangladesh, from September 2016 to February 2017, to explore the role of spirometry in the early detection of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) among smokers. A total of 70 participants were selected. After taking the detail history, spirometry and chest x-ray were done. The correlation between smoking and COPD was determined. Among the total respondents 44%, 40% and 15.7% had 10-15, 15-20 and >20 pack-year smoking history respectively. Forced expiratory volume in one second/Forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC) among these three groups of smokers were found 90%/91%, 77%/89%, and 58.4%/88% respectively. Among the participants, 20% had a change in chest X-ray and 23 (32.85%) of respondents had COPD. Among those 23 participants, 13 (18.57%) suffered from mild, 6 (8.57%) suffered from moderate, 3 (4.28%) suffered from severe, and 1 (1.43%) suffered from a very severe level of airway obstruction. Our results suggest that spirometry can be a valuable tool for the early diagnosis of COPD among smokers. Though it was found as a promising option in a small-scale study, further evaluation is necessary through a population screening to confirm its effectiveness.

El estudio se enmarca en dos presupuestos teóricos: el primero señala que la ortografía de la lengua escrita, al ser un producto cultural, se puede aprender de manera autodidacta si la persona cuenta con los recursos conceptuales y tecnológicos necesarios sistemáticamente dispuestos, y el segundo muestra que, cuando las TIC se incorporan didácticamente en proyectos educativos dirigidos al mejoramiento ortográfico los resultados se incrementan. Esta investigación sugiere implementar como recurso de trabajo el diseño e implementación de un MOOC con temas apropiados para el aprendizaje autodidacta de la ortografía.

The purpose of this paper is to conduct a bibliometric analysis of scientific publications that discuss the use of the decision tree method for breast cancer prediction. A total of 322 documents from Scopus were collected for analysis using bibliometric indicators such as productivity and citations. The bibliometric analysis produces scientific mapping based on the keywords co-occurrence, co-authorship, and co-citation analysis to reflect the conceptual, social, and intellectual structure of the research. The results of the analysis of evolution article found an exponential increase in citations and the number of authors in this study in the period 2005-2023, where China was the dominant country in conducting research. In the thematic map analysis, three research topics were produced, namely the medical field, the computer field and the bioinformatics field. Research topics in the use of the decision tree method for breast cancer prediction are included in the computer field. This study suggests that research on the use of the decision tree method for breast cancer prediction is a research topic that needs to be continuously improved.

Published: January 2024

Composite indicators have recently gained substantial interest for assessing peo-ple’s quality of life. While initial efforts have focused on the macro level of countries, lately these approaches have also been applied on more granular, local levels of administration. Among these approaches the Social Progress Index stands out as an applied policy tool with unique methodology and design principles. This paper documents the application of the Social Progress Index for the district level in the Košice region. The Index was applied to the entire territory of the Košice Region, which includes 11 districts and covers the period of six years 2015–2020. The indicators selected into the Index framework reflect the general principles of the SPI: they are non-economic (i.e. social or environmental), out-come-oriented, rele-vant to all units of observation (i.e. districts), and actionable. The results of the 2020 Košice Social Progress Index reveal a varying degree of societal outcomes across the districts. The highest performing districts of the region are the municipalities of Košice, where the Košice I district achieves the highest overall performance and Kosice II records the lowest performance within the city. The districts of Gelnica and Trebišov achieve the lowest Index score in the region. All districts of the Košice Region achieved an improve-ment in the Index over 2015–2020. The most significant change in SPI was in Košice IV district, in contrast, Gelnica district recorded the lowest growth. By discussing the method-ology, challenges and top level results, the paper contributes to a greater understanding of the needs and challenges of regional development in the region of Košice and to the ap-plication of composite indicators on local levels. The Index provides a basis for local and regional governments for planning and decision-making activities and for better public policies to reduce regional disparities and improve quality of life.

An Augmented Reality Hand–Eye Sensorimotor Impairment Assessment for Spaceflight Operations
Authors: Allred Aaron R. , Weiss Hannah , Clark Torin K. , Stirling Leia
Published: January 2024

INTRODUCTION: Following a transition from microgravity to a gravity-rich environment (e.g., Earth, Moon, or Mars), astronauts experience sensorimotor impairment, primarily from a reinterpretation of vestibular cues, which can impact their ability to perform mission-critical tasks. To enable future exploration-class missions, the development of lightweight, space-conscious assessments for astronauts transitioning between gravity environments without expert assistance is needed.

METHODS: We examined differences in performance during a two-dimensional (2D) hand–eye multidirectional tapping task, implemented in augmented reality in subjects (N = 20) with and without the presence of a vestibular-dominated sensorimotor impairment paradigm: the binaural bipolar application of a pseudorandom galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) signal. Metrics associated with both the impairment paradigm and task performance were assessed.

RESULTS: Medial-lateral sway during balance on an anterior-posterior sway-referenced platform with eyes closed was most affected by GVS (effect size: 1.2), in addition to anterior-posterior sway (effect size: 0.63) and the vestibular index (effect size: 0.65). During the augmented reality task, an increase in time to completion (effect size: 0.63), number of misses (effect size: 0.52), and head linear accelerations (effect size: 0.30) were found in the presence of the selected GVS waveform.

DISCUSSION: Findings indicate that this multidirectional tapping task may detect emergent vestibular-dominated impairment (near landing day performance) in astronauts. Decrements in speed and accuracy indicate this impairment may hinder crews’ ability to acquire known target locations while in a static standing posture. The ability to track these decrements can support mission operations decisions.

Heart Rate Variability as a Predictor of +Gz Tolerance During the High-G Selective Test
Authors: Bacevic Nenad , Ninkovic Milica , Drvendzija Milijana , Vidakovic Jelena , Bacevic Marina , Stepanic Pavle
Published: January 2024

INTRODUCTION: Preselection of pilot candidates in the military is critical and determines the quality of subsequent selection. The Aero Medical Institute in Belgrade uses the following centrifuge endpoints: peripheral vision loss, heart rate above 180 bpm, cardiac arrhythmias, and G-induced loss of consciousness to assess relaxed +Gz tolerance. The aim of this study was to evaluate heart rate variability (HRV) associated with cardiovascular adaptability to different types of stress as a predictor of +Gz tolerance.

METHODS: Thirty-six candidates were exposed to centrifuge runs, consisting of the following +Gz-acceleration phases: a 2-G plateau followed by an increase to 5.5 G, a decrease to 2 G, and ending with a plateau. Time-domain HRV indices were calculated for candidates, for a 60-s 2-G plateau, and for the entire test. The correlation was made between the groups that did (Group 1) and did not meet the criteria (Group 2).

RESULTS: The results show significantly lower values in all time domain HRV indices, namely standard deviation of the normal-to-normal interval (SDNN) and root mean square of successive differences, in Group 2. Mean SDNN values were 45.98 ± 24.80 ms (2-G plateau) and 109.99 ± 39.64 ms (entire test) in Group 1, while the SDNN were 22.99 ± 12.04 ms and 69.70 ± 33.45 ms in Group 2. Root mean square of successive differences was higher in Group 1 for the 2-G plateau and for the entire test.

DISCUSSION: The results suggest that HRV is positively correlated with +Gz-tolerance and can be used as an additional selection tool for military aircrew.

Published: January 2024

INTRODUCTION: Aircraft are manufactured according to design parameters that must account for the size and physical characteristics of the pilot. While cockpit dimensions, seats, restraints, and related components do not change substantially over the airframe lifecycle, it is conceivable that the occupant may, even if initially well-suited. This investigation focused on longitudinal body mass index (BMI) changes within a cohort of British Army Air Corps pilots.

METHODS: The study was a retrospective examination of electronic medical record data to assess longitudinal change within a representative cohort of Army pilots. Voluntary subjects were assigned unique subject numbers matched with individual electronic medical record data. Subject’s age, service length, height, weight, and BMI were extracted from routine historical aviation medical exams.

RESULTS: Among 106 British Army Air Corps pilots, the mean age was 35.3 yr (SD = 7.4) with average length of service as a pilot of 9.0 yr (SD = 5.2). Within the observed cohort, the mean change in individual weight over time was an increase of 4.6 kg (SD = 7.3). Height remained relatively stable with a mean increase of 0.6 cm (SD = 1.9). Given the increase in weight, BMI was noted to increase longitudinally with a mean of 1.3 kg · m−2 (SD = 2.4).

DISCUSSION: British Army pilots experience increases in BMI over time much like the general population. Results of this study serve to inform future policy related to the body composition of aviation applicants, the retention of previously qualified pilots, and the safety concerns of crashworthiness design specifications.

The article is dedicated to the famous anthropologist, successor of the school of anthropological reconstruction M.M. Gerasimov to candidate of bio-logical sciences Galina Vyacheslavovna Lebedinskaya. In 2024 she would have turned 100 years old. Brief biographical information and the creative path of the scientist are presented. In 1970, after the death of Mikhail Mikhailovich, Galina Vyacheslavovna headed the Laboratory of Plastic Reconstruction of the Institute of Ethnography of the USSR Academy of Sciences. She continues the traditions laid down by M.M. Gerasimov. The laboratory is constantly conducting scientific research to search for patterns of relationship between signs of external appear-ance and underlying bone structuresUnder her leadership, for the first time in the world, measurements of the thickness of the soft tissues of the face using ultrasound are being carried out on a modern population. A data bank is being created on the distribution of soft tissue thickness among representatives of various ethnic groups of the population of the USSR. Field studies are being conducted to study the correlations between such important features of appearance as the width of the nose and mouth with the bone base. New students appear in the laboratory, continuing to this day the development of improvements and clarifications of the method of anthropological reconstruction. Galina Vyacheslavovna is working on creating numerous sculp-tural and graphic portraits based on the skulls of ancient populations and histori-cal figures.

Published: January 2024

Introduction

Olfactory dysfunction (OD) is common among patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Validated and culturally specific tests, such as the “Sniffin’ Sticks” test (SST) and the TIB Smell Identification Test (TIBSIT), are crucial for the diagnosis and monitoring of OD. However, they have not been utilised in Hong Kong Chinese and their correlations are unknown.

Methods

Twelve CRS patients and twenty healthy volunteers were prospectively recruited from a joint allergy-otorhinolaryngology clinic in Hong Kong and performed both SST and TIBSIT. Demographics, baseline characteristics and all test results were compared and analysed.

Results

Patients with CRS demonstrated significantly lower test scores than healthy controls (all p < 0.001). Significant and strong correlations were observed between all composite and subtest scores, particularly between the composite SST and TIBSIT scores (ρ = 0.789, p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that the presence of CRS and increasing age were significantly associated with OD.

Conclusion

Both SST and TIBSIT are useful olfactory tests and are strongly correlated among Hong Kong Chinese. We advocate that either test can be used for measuring OD among CRS patients.

Published: January 2024

Ovarian cancer is a highly heterogeneous disease consisting of at least five different histological subtypes with varying clinical features, cells of origin, molecular composition, risk factors, and treatments. While most single-cell studies have focused on High grade serous ovarian cancer, a comprehensive landscape of the constituent cell types and their interactions within the tumor microenvironment are yet to be established in the different ovarian cancer histotypes. Further characterization of tumor progression, metastasis, and various histotypes are also needed to connect molecular signatures to pathological grading for personalized diagnosis and tailored treatment. In this study, we leveraged high-resolution single-cell RNA sequencing technology to elucidate the cellular compositions on 21 solid tumor samples collected from 12 patients with six ovarian cancer histotypes and both primary (ovaries) and metastatic (omentum, rectum) sites. The diverse collection allowed us to deconstruct the histotypes and tumor site-specific expression patterns of cells in the tumor, and identify key marker genes and ligand-receptor pairs that are active in the ovarian tumor microenvironment. Our findings can be used in improving precision disease stratification and optimizing treatment options.
Standardized risk-stratified cardiac assessment and early posttransplant cardiovascular complications in kidney transplant recipients

Published: January 2024

Introduction

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in kidney transplant recipient (KTR). There is a dearth of standardized guidelines on optimal cardiovascular evaluation of transplant candidates.

Methods

This single-center cohort study aims to determine the effectiveness of our standardized risk-stratified pretransplant cardiovascular screening protocol, which includes coronary angiography (CAG), in identifying advanced CVD, the proper pretransplant management of which could lead to a reduction in the incidence of major cardiac events (MACE) in the early posttransplant period.

Results

Out of the total 776 KTR transplanted between 2017 and 2019, CAG was performed on 541 patients (69.7%), of whom 22.4% were found to have obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). Asymptomatic obstructive CAD was observed in 70.2% of cases. In 73.6% of cases, CAG findings resulted in myocardial revascularization. MACE occurred in 5.6% (N = 44) of the 23 KTR with pretransplant CVD and 21 without pretransplant CVD. KTR with posttransplant MACE occurrence had significantly worse kidney graft function at the first year posttransplant (p = 0.00048) and worse patient survival rates (p = 0.0063) during the 3-year follow-up period compared with KTR without MACE. After adjustment, the independent significant factors for MACE were arrhythmia (HR 2.511, p = 0.02, 95% CI 1.158–5.444), pretransplant history of acute myocardial infarction (HR 0.201, p = 0.046, 95% CI 0.042–0.970), and pretransplant myocardial revascularization (HR 0.225, p = 0.045, 95% CI 0.052–0.939).

Conclusion

Asymptomatic CVD is largely prevalent in KTR. Posttransplant MACE has a negative effect on grafts and patient outcomes. Further research is needed to assess the benefits of pretransplant myocardial revascularization in asymptomatic kidney transplant candidates.
