Background: Diffuse interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a heterogeneous group of pulmonary disorders with varied clinical, radiological, and histopathological presentations. This study aims to examine the demographic, clinical, radiological, and diagnostic characteristics of patients diagnosed with ILD. Methods: A total of 150 patients diagnosed with ILD were included in the study. Demographic data, clinical symptoms, and comorbidities were recorded. High-resolution CT (HRCT) thorax imaging was used to assess radiological abnormalities. The final diagnoses were based on clinical evaluation, imaging findings, and histopathological examination. Results: The study cohort consisted predominantly of males (59.3%) aged between 50-69 years. The most common clinical symptoms were exertional breathlessness and cough. Radiological findings on HRCT included ground glass opacities (52.5%), interlobular septal thickening (39.3%), and honeycombing (28.7%). A diffuse pattern of lung involvement was observed in the majority of patients. The most frequent ILD diagnosis was Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF), followed by Non-IPF Idiopathic Interstitial Pneumonia and Nonspecific Interstitial Pneumonia. Conclusion: The study highlights the importance of careful clinical and radiological assessment in the diagnosis of ILD, which remains challenging due to the heterogeneity of the disease.

Published: February 2025

Benign recurrent sixth nerve palsy is a rare phenomenon, and the majority of reported cases suffer from their first episode in early childhood. In this case report, we present a benign recurrent isolated left 6th nerve palsy in a nine-year-old boy. All episodes were precipitated by an upper respiratory tract infection and resolved within 2-3 weeks. Extensive investigations with two MRI scans, two lumbar punctures and several blood tests showed no underlying cause. This diagnosis of exclusion is worth considering in an otherwise well-appearing child, especially if precipitated by febrile illness.

Authors: Bentefouet, et al Tonleu Linda
Published: February 2025

Introduction : la maladie de Rosai Dorfman-Destombes (RDD) est une histiocytose rare, bénigne, ubiquitaire, d’étiopathogénie complexe. Le but de notre travail était de rapporter les particularités épidémiologiques et clinicopathologiques de 17 cas de la maladie de Rosai-Dorfman diagnostiqués à Dakar.

Patients et méthodes : il s’agit d’une étude rétrospective sur une période de sept (07) ans allant du 1er janvier 2015 au 31 décembre 2021. Nous avons colligé 17 cas de RDD à partir des archives des comptes rendus d’examens histologiques.

Résultats : L’âge moyen des patients était de 11,69 ans ± 12,30. Le sex ratio de 2,4. La maladie de RDD était de localisation ganglionnaire chez 16 patients. Une seule atteinte extra-ganglionnaire pure de localisation orbito-palpébrale a été notée. Les prélèvements étaient des microbiopsies et des biopsies-exérèses, soit 17,64% et 82,35% respectivement. A l’examen macroscopique, la taille moyenne des ganglions était de 2,94 cm, avec des extrêmes de 1 cm et 7 cm. Tous les prélèvements ont fait l’objet d’une confirmation histologique. L’étude immunohistochimique était réalisée chez 09 patients soit 52,94% des cas, montrant une positivité des marqueurs PS100 et CD68 et une négativité du marqueur CD1a confirmant ainsi le diagnostic de maladie de RDD.

Conclusion : le diagnostic de RDD repose sur des arguments clinico-pathologiques. Toutefois l’immunohistochimie reste nécessaire pour le diagnostic différentiel.
ETUDE DE LA RELATION ENTRE LE CAPITAL ANTIOXYDANT ET LA FONCTION RENALE CHEZ LES DIABETIQUES DE TYPE 2 A DAKAR
Authors: AHMAT ARDJA ALI
Published: February 2025

Résumé
Résume

INTRODUCTION : L’hyperglycémie du diabète de type 2 (DT2) est responsable d’une glycolyse accrue qui par accroissement du potentiel de la membrane mitochondriale augmente la formation des radicaux libres. Ce qui entretient un stress oxydant qui a été décrit comme un facteur de risque cardiovasculaire pouvant toucher tous les organes. Cette étude a pour objectif d’évaluer la relation entre le capital antioxydant et la fonction rénale chez les diabétiques de type 2 vivant dans la région de Dakar (Sénégal).

METHODOLOGIE : Nous avons mené une étude transversale de type cas-témoins, portant sur 48 patients donc 24 diabétiques et 24 non diabétiques. Les paramètres tels que le sexe, l’âge, l’Indice de masse corporelle (IMC) ont été mesurés. Pour les paramètres biologiques, nous avons mesuré la glycémie à jeun, l’urée, la créatinine, l’acide urique, le cholestérol total, les triglycérides, le cholestérol HDL, le cholestérol LDL grâce à la méthode enzymatique et par la méthode colorimétrique l’hémoglobine glyquée, l’Albumine, le cuivre et le zinc.

RESULTATS : Nos patients diabétiques avaient une diminution de débit de filtration glomérulaire (DFG) (20%) avec un taux DFG inférieur à 60 ml/mn/1,73 m²), une hypoalbuminémie (33%) des patients et une réduction du rapport Cu/Zn. Une corrélation a été trouvée entre l’augmentation d’hémoglobine glyquée et l’hypoalbuminémie (r=-0,3 ; p=0,038) de même que celle de la glycémie et la diminution du rapport Cu/Zn (r=-0,31 ; p=0,03). Tandis que tous les témoins avaient un bilan normal.

CONCLUSION : La surproduction des espèces réactives d’oxygène consécutives à l’hyperglycémie chronique du diabète de type 2 semblent être les facteurs favorisant la survenue des altérations de la fonction rénale. Ainsi un régime riche en substances antioxydantes pourrait être une piste potentielle pour la prévention de l’altération de la fonction rénale secondaire au DT2.

Published: February 2025

This research examines the execution of the zoning-based New Student Admissions (PPDB) policy at SMA Negeri 2 Padang, in alignment with the Regulation of the Minister of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia Number 1 of 2021. This policy aims to enhance equitable access to and the quality of education across Indonesia, stipulating that schools must admit a minimum of 50% of new students through the zoning pathway, which is determined by residential proximity. Nonetheless, enacting this policy encounters many challenges affecting educational institutions, local government bodies, and the broader community. This study employs a qualitative descriptive methodology, utilizing comprehensive interviews with school principals, educators, PPDB committee members, parents of students, and representatives from the Education Office. Additionally, data collection methods encompass the analysis of relevant policy documents and direct observational research. The findings indicate significant impediments to policy dissemination and the technical dimensions related to zoning. Numerous parents express confusion regarding the metrics for distance measurement and the allocation of quotas for academic achievement, affirmative action, and transfer pathways. The inadequacy of school infrastructure further contributes to public discontent. Despite the policy’s intent to foster equity, the perception of preferred schools persists. Enhanced dissemination of information, rigorous policy oversight, and infrastructural enhancements are imperative in educational institutions in less developed areas to effectively realize the objective of educational equity.

Published: February 2025

The novel coronary pneumonia epidemic has led to dramatic changes in both the order of life and consumer behavior. Major public health and safety issues are a serious impediment to a healthy tourism industry. Therefore, it is necessary to study the impact of digitization of public health on the tourism demand of urban residents. In this paper, we develop a tourism demand model and analyze the factors influencing tourism demand. Based on data related to urban residents' tourism collected from statistical yearbooks, the impact of public health digitization on urban residents' tourism demand is studied using methods such as the attractiveness of tourist destinations. The validation session is carried out in terms of both time series and spatial distribution. The results of the impact on the time series tourism demand show that the number of tourists increased by 287.63% in just one year. The total number of tourists in China reached 1,844,900. The growth rate of total tourism consumption was up to 582.47%. The tourism trip rate increased to 213.47%. The results of the spatial distribution impact narrowed the ratio of the share of different value zones to the total number of tourists in the country, minimizing from 0.33, 0.49, 0.11 to 0.35, 0.38, 0.31, and from 0.71, 0.2, 0.1 to 0.37, 0.34, 0.33, respectively. it is thus clear that digital technology is a powerful tool for the full recovery of tourism in the post-epidemic era. Digital transformation of public health can better contribute to the revitalization of tourism and enhance the safety of consumers' travel.

Law enforcement against notaries involved in the embezzlement of Land and Building Rights Acquisition Duty (BPHTB) aims to uphold justice and maintain the integrity of the notary profession. Notaries involved in BPHTB embezzlement violate criminal law and the professional code of ethics, making them subject to criminal and administrative sanctions. The law enforcement process includes investigation, prosecution, and court decisions carried out in accordance with applicable laws and regulations to ensure legal certainty and protect the rights of the parties involved. The research method used is normative juridical research, employing a statutory approach, case approach, conceptual approach, and analytical approach, based on primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. The legal material collection technique involves identifying and inventorying positive legal rules, while the legal material analysis technique used is grammatical and systematic interpretation. The research findings indicate that regulations regarding notaries receiving entrusted BPHTB funds for payment to the state treasury are not clearly stipulated in existing laws or regulations. However, if a notary receives authorization from a client to pay the tax, they are responsible for the entrusted funds as an agreeing party, not as a notary. This creates legal bias because the notary changes their role to an agreeing party, potentially causing public concern due to unclear legal protection. Law enforcement against notaries who commit BPHTB tax embezzlement refers to Articles 372 to 376 of the Indonesian Criminal Code (KUHP) on embezzlement, as the Notary Position Law (UUJN) does not explicitly regulate such offenses. Sanctions include imprisonment and fines under the Criminal Code, as well as professional sanctions ranging from written warnings to dishonorable discharge or license revocation by the Minister under the UUJN
Biosensing measurement and psychological mechanism exploration of emotional responses in English learners
Authors: Li Caiping
Published: February 2025

Emotions have an important role in English language learners (ELL), impacting motivation, engagement, and performance. Understanding how emotions influence ELL performance is critical for creating effective instructional programs. Previous research has explored emotional reactions utilizing self-reports or behavioral observations, but only a small amount of research has used biosensing technology to offer objective, real-time data on emotional states. The purpose of this research is to examine English learners’ emotional responses using biosensing measurements to investigate the psychological mechanisms supporting these responses and offer knowledge about how emotions influence language learning. The investigation involved 150 English language learners. Biosensing devices were used to evaluate physiological indicators such as heart rate variability, skin conductivity, and facial expressions while students completed English language tasks. Furthermore, psychological mechanisms were investigated using questionnaires and interviews, yielding qualitative insights into how learners experience and handle their emotions during the learning process. Statistical analysis, such as regression, descriptive, correlation analysis, ANOVA, and chi-square statistics, was used to investigate the association between emotional responses and language learning efficacy. The findings show a strong association between good emotional reactions and better language learning outcomes, whereas negative emotions, such as anxiety, are associated with lower engagement and performance. Finally, this approach emphasizes the relevance of understanding emotional dynamics in language learning and the necessity of developing methods to enhance positive emotional involvement.

Published: February 2025

This study explores the biomechanical mechanisms and long-term effects of sports intervention on improving the intrinsic capacity of elderly people. Through experiments and model simulations, the effects of sports intervention on muscle strength, gait stability, joint mobility, fall risk, physical function, and mental health of elderly people are evaluated. The experimental results showed that the experimental group showed significant improvement in various indicators after intervention, especially in muscle strength (38.4 ± 5.2 Nm increased to 45.6 ± 4.8 Nm, p < 0.05), gait stability (decreased from 45.3 mm to 35.1 mm, p < 0.05), joint range of motion (increased from 102.1 ± 8.3° to 114.3 ± 7.5°, p < 0.05), and fall risk (decreased from 27.3% to 12.3%, p < 0.05). In contrast, the control group did not show significant changes. The SF-36 physical function score also significantly improved (from 47.2 ± 6.3 points to 63.5 ± 5.6 points, p < 0.05), and the mental health score increased from 56.4 ± 7.1 points to 70.1 ± 6.3 points (p < 0.05). The simulation analysis results are highly consistent with the experimental data, and the model simulation has small errors in predicting muscle strength, gait stability, and other aspects compared to the actual experimental data, further verifying the effectiveness of the exercise intervention. In summary, this study indicates that sports intervention can effectively improve the physical function and mental health of elderly people by improving biomechanical indicators such as muscle strength, gait stability, and joint mobility, thereby reducing the risk of falls and enhancing their quality of life. The high consistency between model simulation and experimental data provides scientific basis and technical support for future health interventions for the elderly.

Authors: Gonçalves Fernandes Ilha , Resende Marinato Brenda , Elias Rodriguez Isabelle
Published: February 2025

Introdução: Nas últimas décadas, a elevada prevalência de quedas entre idosos tem se mantido constante. Avaliações apropriadas permitem identificar aqueles com maior risco, viabilizando a adoção de medidas preventivas. Objetivo: Identificou-se os instrumentos de avaliação mais frequentemente utilizados por fisioterapeutas para triagem do risco de quedas em idosos e a utilização de evidência científica na escolha dos instrumentos. Métodos: Este é um estudo observacional de corte transversal, a coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de um questionário digital, que abordava aspectos como formação acadêmica, público atendido, instrumento utilizado para avaliação do equilíbrio e de risco de quedas, além de tipo de desenho de estudo selecionado para embasar a escolha dos testes. Resultados: Participaram 32 fisioterapeutas. A Escala de Equilíbrio de Berg (EEB) e o teste Timed Up and Go (TUG) foram os instrumentos mais citados para avaliação de equilíbrio, sendo o TUG predominante para triagem de risco de quedas. A EEB não foi usada para esse fim. Estudos de caso foram a principal fonte de evidência para a seleção dos instrumentos. Cerca de 22% (n=7) dos fisioterapeutas relataram não realizar avaliações de risco de quedas em idosos.

A DEFESA PESSOAL COMO NÍVEL DE FORÇA POLICIAL: Avaliação das técnicas do Manual de Defesa Pessoal Policial da Polícia Militar de Goiás
Authors: Denis da Costa Leon
Published: February 2025

This article aims to present an assessment of police self-defense techniques implemented by the Military Police of Goiás as a level of force to respond to police calls and interventions. The study was conducted based on 649 responses from military police officers who joined the force in 2023 and completed the training course. The questionnaire included closed-ended questions about the effectiveness and degree of learning difficulty in relation to the techniques set out in the manual and which were taught inclasses inMilitary Police Academy. The results suggest that most respondents positively assessed the techniques, with a predominantly and moderately difficult and easy degree of difficulty. It is worth noting that 47% of respondentshad no prior knowledge of self-defense or martial arts and 31% declared themselves to be beginners. The police officers reported a lower degree of difficulty in learning techniques involving handcuffs and police baton because they are police instruments, while techniques with free hands require more training time.

ABSTRACTThe formulation of evidence-based public policies presents a significant challenge in Brazilian public security, particularly given the complexity of police operations in large urban centers. In this regard, the primary objective of this study was to define the typology of police occurrences, their spatial and temporal distribution, and the resources required for their response. The study provides a comprehensive diagnosis of the services performed by the Polícia Militar de Mato Grosso do Sul (PMMS) throughthe Centro de Operações da Polícia Militar (COPOM) in Campo Grande-MS during the year 2023. A descriptive and quantitative research approach was applied, using operational data from COPOM for temporal and spatial analyses. Hotspotsand descriptive statistics were applied to examine the distribution of incidents throughout different times of the day, days of the week, and months of the year. The findings indicate that noise disturbance, domestic violence, and physical assaultwere the most frequently reported incidents. Domestic violencewas predominantly concentrated in peripheral areas and exhibited an increase during nighttime hours. The highdemand for police services occurred in December, coinciding with a higher rate of unanswered calls. Furthermore, the study identified that the allocation of police patrols could be optimized to more effectively address critical periods. The conclusions underscore the need for preventive policies and resource reallocation to enhance service efficiency. Additionally, the study highlights the importance of simplifying police reportsand implementing strategies to reduce response times.Keywords: Data science;Police;Public service;Public safety.
CENÁRIO ATUAL NO TRATAMENTO PARA O CÂNCER DE PRÓSTATA: UMA REVISÃO BIBLIOGRÁFICA
Authors: das Dores Pereira Neto Ubiracyr , Porto Mendanha Raquel , Oliva Spaziani Amanda
Published: February 2025

Introdução: O câncer (CA) de próstata é o segundo câncer mais comum em homens no Brasil, perdendo para o câncer de pele. Segundo a OMS, o CA de próstata representa cerca de 7,3% de todos os cânceres. É assintomático nas fases iniciais, se realizado o diagnóstico precoce seu prognóstico é favorável. Objetivo: Considerando a relevância do tema, este trabalho objetiva abstrair da literatura as informações relevantes e atuais acerca do tratamento de CA de próstata. Metodologia: A metodologia utilizada foi a pesquisa bibliográfica de artigos em plataformas de busca de relevância científica: PubMed, SciELO e Google Acadêmico, com o uso dos descritores em português, inglês e espanhol: "câncer de próstata", "atualizações em tratamento" e "avanços no tratamento do câncer". Os descritores foram aplicados de forma individual e combinada. Resultados e Discussão: Foram selecionados 10 artigos, dos últimos 5 anos, que exploram as abordagens no tratamento do câncer de próstata além da prostatectomia parcial e total. O uso de terapias hormonais, radioterapia localizada, novos medicamentos direcionados como Inibidores de Receptores Andrógenos e novas imunoterapias avançadas de Checkpoint Imunológico, demonstram avançossignificativos. Essasimunoterapias ajudam a liberar oslinfócitos T (LT) do sistema imunológico para atacar as células cancerosas, permitindo uma resposta imunológica eficaz. A terapia com células T de receptores de antígenos quiméricos (CAR-T), que envolve a modificação genética dos LT do próprio paciente para que possam reconhecer e atacar células cancerosas específicas, está sendo explorada para o câncer de próstata. Como o medicamento tisagenlecleucel que modifica geneticamente os LT para reconhecer antígenos específicos presentes nas células do câncer de próstata, para gerar uma resposta de ataque específica do carcinoma. Conclusão: Apesar dos avanços no tratamento do câncer, as novas terapias enfrentam desafios como a necessidade de personalizar os tratamentos, gerenciar os efeitos colaterais e garantir acesso equitativo às novas tecnologias, além do alto custo dos medicamentos e dificuldades regulatórias. É substancial a atualização do profissional médico acerca das evoluções tecnológicas para otimizar o cuidado ao paciente e obter melhora clínica efetiva.
Historiografía y aspectos teórico-metodológicos para un estudio social del agua en los ingenios azucareros del norte de Argentina
Authors: Hernández Aparicio Nicolás
Published: February 2025

Los últimos años del siglo XX y, con mucha mayor profundidad, el inicio del XXI, potenciaron el estudio del agua como objeto de las ciencias sociales. En países como México, Cuba y Venezuela, el desarrollo temático ha sido muy prolífico, al punto de constituir una tradición de investigación muy sólida. En Argentina, por el contrario, la historiografía ha descubierto al líquido como un eje reciente en los estudios locales y regionales. En este artículo se realiza una revisión del estado actual de las líneas temáticas abordadas alrededor del agua, con especial atención en aquellos que se han ocupado de la relación entre la producción agropecuaria y la refinación azucarera en los ingenios del norte del país. Con esto, se trazan líneas de diálogo con espacios ya consolidados en otras regiones latinoamericanas, estableciendo contrastes y posibilidades de análisis en los nuevos estudios.
El río y los manglares en el paisaje cultural de la Cuenca del Papaloapan
Authors: León Estrada Xóchitl del Alba , López Rosas Hugo
Published: February 2025

El objetivo de este artículo se centra en el paisaje de la cuenca del río Papaloapan, en el sur de la entidad veracruzana, específicamente el área de Tlacotalpan y sus comunidades aledañas por ser un territorio que contiene manifestaciones culturales y características naturales que configuran un paisaje cultural único, en cuyos elementos materiales e inmateriales se aprecia la relación naturaleza-sociedad. Tlacotalpan se sitúa sobre una región multicultural cuya ocupación se remonta al periodo preclásico mesoamericano (1200 a. C.-200 d. C.). Ecológicamente, el área de estudio se sitúa dentro del sistema lagunar de Alvarado, por lo que es conveniente hablar de un tipo de vida lacustre desarrollado por mucho tiempo. Desde dos aproximaciones disciplinares complementarias, se muestra cómo sociedades de diversas filiaciones étnicas se asentaron sobre la planicie fluvial y aprovecharon los recursos naturales del río, lagunas y humedales para satisfacer sus necesidades. La huella antrópica que por años ha impactado la región de estudio es analizada desde las perspectivas antropológica y ecológica para resaltar no solo la importancia de un ecosistema en el desarrollo sostenible, sino de todo un entramado sociocultural de adaptación a un ambiente singular en el que se observan relaciones de interdependencia, subsistencia, reciprocidad y construcción continua del paisaje cultural y el patrimonio biocultural.
Desafíos hídricos en el crecimiento periurbano
Authors: Casas Cervantes Abril , Gran Castro Juan Alberto
Published: February 2025

El crecimiento del Área Metropolitana de Guadalajara (AMG) hacia el municipio de Tlajomulco de Zúñiga es un claro ejemplo, tanto a nivel estatal como nacional, del uso discontinuo del suelo urbano en espacios rurales próximos a la ciudad; es decir, de crecimiento periurbano. Lo anterior resulta en una mancha urbana con zonas periféricas carentes de infraestructura básica para garantizar el acceso a servicios básicos como el agua e, irónicamente, en espacios con presencia de inundaciones cada vez más catastróficas debido a la falta de infiltración del agua y a la deficiente planeación territorial. Esta es una investigación de tipo exploratoria que analiza los procesos de urbanización con relación a los problemas de agua, particularmente en torno al abastecimiento domiciliario deficiente y a los eventos de inundación en el municipio de Tlajomulco. Para ello, se implementó una metodología cuantitativa a partir del diseño y estimación de indicadores en torno a tres dimensiones analíticas: crecimiento urbano, periurbanización y problemas de agua. Los resultados muestran que los problemas de agua en Tlajomulco se vinculan con los procesos políticos que propician pautas de crecimiento urbano a partir de un modelo de vivienda que rebasa la capacidad del municipio en términos de la respuesta gubernamental, pero también la capacidad del territorio en términos ambientales.
