La universalización de los derechos humanos bajo examen: a 70 años de la Convención sobre los derechos políticos de la mujer
Authors: Carreras Presencio Ana Isabel
Published: October 2023

En 2023 se conmemora el 70 aniversario de la apertura a la firma de la Convención sobre los derechos políticos de la mujer. Este tratado multilateral fue adoptado en una época histórica de internacionalización de los derechos humanos que, luego de setenta años, es necesario someter a examen. El análisis parte del trabajo realizado por el movimiento internacional de mujeres organizadas junto a las instituciones internacionales del momento en pos de la consecución regulatoria de derechos universales en igualdad. La investigación sigue una marcada clasificación de análisis histórico del contexto jurídico internacional, desde una perspectiva neutra y desde una perspectiva específica que permite formar dos bloques de análisis comparativos con el objetivo de demostrar que la validez neutral de la norma es posible cuando se queda en superficie para alejarse de controversias y oposición, regulando la vida internacional de los sujetos. Sin embargo, esa validez neutral de la norma falla cuando regula el sistema universal de los derechos humanos sin alcanzar específicas características y distintas propiedades de la persona. El fenómeno sociológico escogido es abordado a través de material doctrinario de distintas disciplinas sociales que lo han investigado en profundidad, contextualizándolo en la historia y en el plano jurídico y axiológico de universalización del momento.

Pharmaceutical management of hemorrhagic stroke: Optimizing outcomes following intracranial hemorrhage evacuation
Authors: Shah Siddharth , Lucke-Wold Brandon
Published: October 2023

Stroke can be mainly categorized into hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke. Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a subtype of hemorrhagic stroke that is caused due to unconstrained bleeding within the parenchyma of the brain. ICH is one of the major conditions that have a high rate of disease and a high rate of death in a given population. Risk factors for ICH emerged to be age, male gender, hypertension, and intake of alcohol in huge quantities. The frequency of ICH is increased where hypertension is mainly untreated. To improve the prognosis and outcomes of an ICH patient, we need to perform emergent evacuation of blood from the brain parenchyma and prevent edema formation while restricting further neuronal damage due to surgical intervention. Evidence-based guidelines exist for ICH and form the basis for a care framework. The pharmaceutical management of ICH from current literature includes an aggressive reduction in blood pressure, tranexamic acid use, and recombinant activated factor VII administration. In addition, advanced imaging, surgical evacuation of ICH, and minimally invasive surgery techniques for hematoma evacuation could provide great benefits to patients with a large ICH.

Introduction

The aim of the study was to determine the genetic diversity of Echinococcus multilocularis in pigs in highly endemic areas in Poland, as well as to attempt to confirm the occurrence and geographical distribution of haplotypes characteristic for these areas, which were previously described on the basis of examination of adult tapeworms isolated from foxes.

Material and Methods

Twenty samples of E. multilocularis larval forms were obtained from pigs’ livers in four provinces of Poland. Genetic analyses were conducted on sequences of two mitochondrial genes: cox1 and nad2.

Results

Seven haplotypes were found for the cox1 gene (OQ874673–OQ874679) and four haplotypes for nad2 (OQ884981–OQ884984). They corresponded to the haplotypes described earlier in foxes in Poland (some of them differing only in one nucleotide). The analysis showed the presence of the Asian-like haplotype in both the cox1 and nad2 genes. The remaining haplotypes were grouped in the European clade. The geographical distribution of haplotypes identified in the pig samples was noticed to bear a similarity to the distribution of haplotypes previously isolated from foxes in the same regions.

Conclusion

The characteristic geographical distribution of E. multilocularis haplotypes in Central Europe (including the presence of the Asian-like haplotype) previously described in the population of definitive hosts (foxes) has now been confirmed by the analysis of samples from non-specific intermediate hosts (pigs).

Objective: The current study aimed to evaluate the role of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) to serum albumin (B/A) ratio (BAR) in predicting mortality in Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients in the emergency department (ED) at King Fahad Hospital, Saudi Arabia.
Methods: This observational retrospective cohort study was conducted by including the data of patients from the ED admissions logbook, from January 2020 until June 2021. All patients aged 18 years and above with positive polymerase chain reaction test results for COVID-19 were included.
Results: Results showed that 534 (100%) patients visited the ED. The median value of BUN in the nonsurvivor (expired) group was higher than in survivors (alive). In contrast, the albumin value was lower in the expired patients than in the alive patients.
Conclusion: The BUN, albumin, and their ratio are the critical variables in predicting the mortality of COVID19-infected patients. Hence, BAR level is a reliable way to predict the in-hospital COVID-19 patients' mortality in the ED.

Background: With an incidence of 6 instances per 1,000 persons, epilepsy is a neurological illness that develops because of excessive neuronal impulses. Prejudice and social stigma are associated with epilepsy, and these factors affect kids more than the condition itself. Families dissuade their kids from participating in school, sports, and other activities because of stigma. We aimed to assess the level of knowledge concerning epilepsy among schoolteachers in Riyadh.
Methods: A cross-sectional study targeting 253 female and male schoolteachers in 13 schools in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Data were collected via a paper-based self-administered questionnaire using an epilepsy questionnaire that contains three sections to assess schoolteachers' knowledge, attitude, and social impact toward epilepsy, data were analyzed via SPSS.
Results: Out of a total of 253 schoolteachers, 96.4% know about the disease epilepsy, and 60.5% of them had seen an epileptic seizure before. The majority 71.5% reported that epilepsy is a neurological disorder. Female schoolteachers 31.2% and male 7.1% believe that traumatic brain injury is the cause of epilepsy, there is a significant statistical correlation between the cause of epilepsy and gender (p = 0.004). 30.8% of females think epilepsy is an incurable disease unlike males 10.7% think that it is curable, there is a significant statistical relation (p = 0.001)
Conclusion: The primary findings indicated that schoolteachers in Riyadh city have somewhat of a positive knowledge toward epilepsy. However, there is still a need to enhance certain aspects of schoolteachers' knowledge about epilepsy and increase awareness about the disease to avoid complications and discrimination.
Análisis del ambiente de la guerra ucraniana desde los actores
Authors: Espinel-Bermúdez Jorge Ricardo
Published: October 2023

El 24 de febrero de 2022, Rusia da inicio a una “operación militar especial” con el propósito de desmilitarizar y nesnazificar Ucrania (Guerra, 2022), cuya intención la justifica el presidente de Rusia como una operación de defensa propia porque afecta los intereses del país que se veían afectados en las intenciones por parte de Ucrania a formar parte de la Unión Europea y sobre todo de la OTAN. Adicionalmente, como una parte previa de este conflicto y que toma una forma violenta, se presenta después de las protestas estudiantiles en Kiev en la plaza de Maidán durante el año 2013, debido a la negativa del gobierno ucraniano de no firmar un acuerdo con la Unión Europea (Kurkov, 2014). Esto  con llevó a que el presidente Viktor Yanukovich renunciara, y que las regiones de Donestk y Lugansk se alzarán contra el gobierno ucraniano al ser regiones pro-rusas (France 24, 2022).

Os Papilomavírus Humano (HPVs) são membros da família Papilomaviridae. O vírus destaca-se pelo seu tropismo por células epiteliais, infectando exclusivamente mucosa epitelial e cutânea. O HPV-16 e HPV-18 são subtipos classificados como de alto risco, conhecidos por sua oncogenicidade, fortemente associados aos cânceres anais, genitais e de orofaringe. Lesões por HPV representam um grande grupo de doenças sexualmente transmissíveis. O objetivo do presente estudo consistiu em realizar uma revisão narrativa sobre a associação entre lesões por HPV e carcinomas genitais e da cavidade oral. Realizamos uma busca na base de dados eletrônicos PubMed, Lilacs, Scielo, Medline e Google Scholar, sendo utilizados artigos publicados entre os anos de 2017-2021, ao fim, foram selecionados 36 artigos. Grande parte das infecções por HPV são subclínicas, ou seja, não apresentam sintomatologia importante e tendem a desaparecer espontaneamente. Desta forma, faz-se necessário ter conhecimento a respeito dos aspectos clínicos e comportamentais dessas lesões, possibilitando o diagnóstico precoce, evitando a evolução para estágios mais invasivos, favorecendo um tratamento efetivo e melhor prognóstico.

A psoríase é uma patologia cutânea inflamatória e crônica que atinge de 2% a 3% da população adulta, ocorrendo antes dos 18 anos em cerca de 30% dos casos. A faixa etária pediátrica também pode ser vítima de estigmatização em virtude das lesões de pele e representa uma população com risco para problemas psiquiátricos, metabólicos e sociais. O tratamento pode ser difícil, se valendo de medicações tópicas ou sistêmicas. Contudo, o uso de imunobiológicos em crianças na sua maioria é baseado na experiência em adultos e deve ser realizado para casos específicos. Reporta-se um caso clínico de uma paciente pediátrica portadora de psoríase com lesões estigmatizantes em face que obteve boa resposta ao uso do biológico Etanercepte, mas que suspendeu tratamento após período gestacional, retomando uso de Ustequinumabe após lactação. O estudo demonstra a importância da integridade corporal e emocional do paciente e que a associação de múltiplas situações de risco e traumas constantes pode contribuir para a fragmentação da sequência das etapas de desenvolvimento e de aquisição das habilidades necessárias ao aprendizado e ao desempenho dos papéis sociais. Neste estudo também discutimos as possibilidades do tratamento da psoríase durante o ciclo gravídico-puerperal.

Objetivo: Realizar um levantamento do estado atual da odontologia digital na rotina dos cirurgiões dentistas do estado do Espírito Santo. Métodos: Foi enviado um questionário virtual respondido por 244 cirurgiões-dentistas (CDs), obtidos por meio de amostra por conveniência devidamente inscritos no Conselho Regional de Odontologia, seção Espírito Santo (CRO-ES). As análises foram feitas utilizando os seguintes parâmetros comparativos: especialidade e tempo de atuação. Resultados: Houve variáveis relevantes entre a presença ou não de ter uma especialidade e o uso da tecnologia na prática clínica (p=0,03). Encontrou-se diferença estatística referente à associação entre a experiência profissional por ano de formado e o fato das tecnologias digitais melhorarem a qualidade dos métodos de tratamento dos pacientes (p=0,028). Consegue-se associar a presença ou não de ter uma especialidade e diálogo com laboratório referente ao fluxo digital (p<0,01). A experiência profissional também foi associada com o diálogo com o laboratório sobre o fluxo de trabalho (p-<.001). Conclusão: Assim, fica claro que o fluxo digital está evoluindo para ser introduzido no cotidiano do paciente, porém ainda há muitas limitações, devido à falta de conhecimento e de uso dos dentistas, por isso cada vez mais há uma necessidade de dialogar com o laboratório, devido à necessidade de existir uma harmonia, a fim de qualificar o tratamento.
Secondary piggyback intraocular lens for posterior microphthalmos

Published: October 2023

We describe a rare case of posterior microphthalmos (PM) submitted to cataract surgery and highlight the problem of high residual hyperopia in these eyes due to the limited commercial availability of a high-powered intraocular lens (IOL). A 50-year-old highly hyperopic man who pretended refractive surgery presented in our hospital. Pre-operative Snellen best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 20/125 in the right eye with a spherical correction of +17.00 D and 20/40 in the left eye with a spherical correction of +18.75. The anterior segment and fundus exam were typical for PM. Optical axial length was 15.50 mm in the right eye and 15.53 mm in the left eye and anterior segment dimensions were within normal limits. IOL power calculation for emmetropia ranged between +51.5 and +62.5 D using modern IOL formulas. Cataract surgery was performed in a bilateral and sequential manner with the implantation of monofocal foldable acrylic +45.0 D IOL with the improvement of spherical correction to +11.00 D bilaterally. Secondary implantation of supplementary sulcus IOL with the maximum +10.0 D power was then performed bilaterally and sequentially with a final BCVA of 20/125 in the right eye with spherical correction of +5.75 D and 20/40 in the left eye with spherical correction of +5.25 D. Piggyback IOL implantation is beneficial and, in most times, necessary in PM since one IOL will not be sufficient to achieve emmetropia. Different piggyback strategies in regard to timing (primary vs. secondary) and chosen IOLs (in-the-bag, sulcus, and iris-claw) can be used.

Published: October 2023

Elizabethkingia meningoseptica is often reported as a hospital-acquired infection. We present an unusual fatal case of community-acquired meningitis probably secondary to contamination of the breast pump and feeding bottle used at home. Despite being a Gram-negative bacillus, it is extremely sensitive to antibiotics used to treat Gram-positive infections. There is a lack of protocolized effective treatment regimens and the organism demonstrates in vitro resistance to many antibiotics but a changing pattern of resistance as seen in our case is not reported till date. E. meningoseptica is an emerging potential source of neonatal infection and is an upcoming public health problem.
Vulvar donovanosis – An unusual cause of genital ulcer in a female
Authors: Balakrishnan Padmapriya , Vijayan Sharmila
Published: October 2023

Genital ulcer is one of the common complaints which is encountered among adolescent and adult patients. Amongst the various causes, donovanosis is a rare entity due to the widespread use of antibiotics. Most of the genital ulcers are diagnosed clinically and treated empirically. Some need further evaluation when they do not respond to empirical treatment. Diagnosis is often delayed due to late presentation, lack of suspicion, use of inappropriate diagnostic investigations, and the treatment is challenging due to antibiotic resistance. We are presenting a case of vulvar donovanosis in a 40-year-old female diagnosed with cytopathology due to its rare incidence in this advanced antibiotic era.
Spectrum of World Health Organization global priority pathogens in hospitalized children - A single center experience
Authors: Sheikh Samrin , Mulye Swati Joshi
Published: October 2023

Objectives:

To study the spectrum of World Health Organization (WHO) global priority pathogens in hospitalized children at our center.

Material and Methods:

This cross-sectional study was conducted between April 2021 to September 2022 in the Department of Pediatrics at Sri Aurobindo Institute of Medical Sciences and Post Graduate Institute (SAMC), Indore. All children admitted to the Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine Department; Ward, Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, and Pediatric Surgical intensive Care Unit and with culture (Blood, urine, cerebrospinal fluid, and other body fluids/tissue) having grown at least one of the WHO priority pathogens, were studied.

Results:

In this study period, 100 children had positive cultures. We found that urine specimens had the most bacterial isolations 35 (35%), followed by blood 24 (24%). Escherichia coli was the most often isolated organism [25 (25%)], followed by Staphylococcus aureus [18 (18%)]. About 80% of E. coli and 70.59% of Klebsiella spp. were resistant to third-generation cephalosporins due to extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL), while 50% of S. aureus were Methicillin-resistant. In all, over half of the Enterobacteriaceae were resistant to carbapenem (49.21%) or third generation cephalosporins (55.56%) due to ESBL. Pseudomonas aeruginosa carbapenem resistance was found in 11.11% cases.

Conclusion:

In this study, WHO priority list pathogens, Enterobacteriaceae, methicillin-resistant S. aureus, Klebsiella species, and E. coli all show significant antimicrobial resistance (AMR). On the other hand, AMR trends for Acinetobacter baumanni, P. aeruginosa, and S. aureus (vancomycin resistant) are lower than the estimations provided by the WHO globally.

Published: October 2023

A 3.1-year-old girl presented with short stature and developmental delay. She had a high-pitched voice, broad forehead, midfacial hypoplasia, hypoplastic labia, and bilateral mesoaxial polydactyly involving upper limbs. Biochemical reports were suggestive of isolated growth hormone deficiency (GHD) and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a large hypothalamic hamartoma (HH). The presence of auxological, clinical, and biochemical findings of GHD together with polydactyly and HH clinched the diagnosis of Pallister-Hall Syndrome. There are approximately 100 cases reported worldwide, which points toward the rarity of this disorder. Moreover, in contrast to most cases, our case had significant developmental delay.
PHILOSOPHICAL (THEORETICAL) ASPECT OF CREATIVITY
Authors: Yakunina Kateryna
Published: October 2023

The article proposes a theorization of the phenomenon of creativity in its philosophical, social, aesthetic and psychological dimensions. Creativity as an epistemological and axiological problem is described by a significant number of researchers and scientists in various fields. At the same time, its ontological dimension remains the prerogative of psychological research, neglecting the social dimension and the meaning of creativity for the individual and humanity as a whole. The proposed analysis allows tracing the various essences and manifestations of creativity for a person and society. Questions about the essence of the concept of "creativity" were studied by many scientists in such fields of knowledge as philosophy, psychology, aesthetics, sociology, etc. This concept has a rather weighty historical aspect of consideration – from Plato to the present day, thinkers have been interested in the question of the inner urges and incentives of a person. But regardless of the signs that stood out for centuries and outlined, shaped this phenomenon, the XXI century brings its corrections, synthesizing phenomena and looking for new approaches to their study. Now, when we talk about creativity, we often stray far from its functional and cultural-artistic significance, we try to reflect it in modern political and scientific-technical processes, or in a radically new, free-thinking, freedom-loving and/or performative aspect. That is why the purpose of the research is to theorize the phenomenon of creativity in the context of modernity. When theorizing creativity, researchers use such concepts as novelty, creating something new, objectification of acquired and/or unconscious experience, catharsis, going beyond the ordinary, loneliness, rejection by society, criticism, challenge, dialogicity, performativity, etc. All these analogies allow us to understand the essence of the phenomenon in a collective and individual dimension. Moreover, centuries of rethinking creativity make it possible to understand and predict the benefits of creativity. However, the entire body of research cannot answer the question of the essentiality of the creator, his alienation from society and from his own creation. Moreover, creativity evolves along with Man, and at the time of expanding the capabilities of AI, it is difficult for us to predict this process.
VARIETIES OF THE LIBERAL TRADITION ACCORDING TO FRIEDRICH HAYEK'S CLASSIFICATION
Authors: Khalamenkov Mykola
Published: October 2023

Liberalism recognizes freedom, limited government, free market, individualism, progress, rationality as the most important factors of social welfare. However, different currents of liberalism interpret these terms differently. Actually, the difference lies in the understanding of the basic principles of liberal theory, which sometimes blurs the very meaning of the term "liberalism". Therefore, the question naturally arises: what is liberalism, if even the fundamental value of this ideology is interpreted by prominent representatives of the liberal camp in a radically opposite way? In this article, the author, relying on the famous liberal thinker of the 20th century, Friedrich Hayek, examines the differences between the two main liberal traditions: Anglo-Saxon (British) and continental European. These are completely antagonistic varieties of liberal thought. However, in the 19th century, their synthesis took place, which gave rise to many branches of liberal teaching over the time. In particular, modern varieties of liberalism cannot be understood without studying the basic liberal traditions. And the very lack of coherent integrity of ideas calls into question the possibility of using the term "liberalism" to describe a unitary political theory.

Production decreased often occur in Indonesia's oil and gas fields which becomes a problem for oil well exploration. Thus the role of the company demands to be able to re-optimize the flow rate of oil production in the oil and gas field. One of the workover jobs was stimulation. The function of the work was to stimulate the wells mechanically and chemically which aimed to increase the productivity of wells that have experienced a decrease in oil production, in which mechanical stimulation was in the form of coiled tubing units and bullhead used chemical stimulation, namely acidizing and solvent. To prove the economy of the coiled tubing unit and bullhead stimulation work, calculations and analysis of economic indicators such as net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR), and payout time (POT) can be carried out.

В данной работе дана систематизация шкал и опросников, используемых для диагностики дискогенного хронического болевого синдрома (ХБС) в России и за рубежом. Проведен анализ русскоязычной и зарубежной литературы с глубиной поиска 5 лет (2016 – 2021 гг.) в следующих базах данных: e-Library, PubMed, Oxford Press, Clinical Keys, Springer, Elsevier, Google Scholar. Для диагностики боли в спине и оценки особенностей ее течения в динамике используются как стандартизированные исследования, включающее сбор жалоб, анамнеза, объективный осмотр, оценка неврологического статуса, так и валидные шкалы и опросники. Для своевременной диагностики и наблюдения за развитием ХБС у пациентов с дегенерацией межпозвонковых дисков (ДМД) предложен широкий круг шкал и опросников, которые мы распределили на 4 группы: шкалы для оценки качества жизни пациентов с дискогенным ХБС; шкалы для оценки характеристик боли при дискогенном ХБС; шкалы для оценки исходов заболевания при дискогенном ХБС; шкалы для оценки нетрудоспособности при дискогенном ХБС. В первой части тематического обзора представлен анализ преимуществ и недостатков шкал для оценки качества жизни пациентов с дискогенным ХБС. Группа шкал для оценки качества жизни пациентов с вертеброгенным ХБС является наиболее востребованной в мировой неврологической практике, однако необходима адаптация к применению в отечественной клинической практике таких шкал, как Функциональная шкала боли в спине Стратфорда; Индекс нарушения жизнедеятельности, связанного с болью; Оценка пациентов боли в пояснице и ее последствий PAL-I. Также было отмечено отсутствие российских шкал, используемых для диагностики боли в спине и оценки особенностей ее течения.

В статье высказывается мысль, что благодаря развитому музыкальному восприятию человек реагирует не только на эстетические, но и оздоравливающие свойства музыки. Для развития музыкального восприятия важен музыкальный материал. В качестве примера приводится древнекитайская традиционная камерная музыка — вокальная и для солирующих инструментов. Подчеркивается роль пентатоники, приоритет мелодики, специфичнских мелодических оборотов, монологического склада, исполнительских средств музыкальной выразительности, музыкального содержания определенной направленности.
Ordem de palavras em exclamativas com demonstrativos em Português Europeu
Authors: Joana Carvalho  , Brito Ana Maria
Published: October 2023

This paper focuses on the study of the syntactic position filled by the demonstrative determiner (este, esse, aquele) in nominal wh- exclamative sentences in European Portuguese (EP) like ‘Que menina esta!’. We draw on works on Spanish and Catalan (Castroviejo Miró 2006 a,b; Alonso Cortés 1999) and develop a hypothesis capable of explaining why the demonstrative in EP can occupy such a position, which apparently is a post-nominal one. We defend the hypothesis that in this type of exclamative the post-nominal position of the demonstrative is the result of an elliptical predicative clause. In order to understand the position of the demonstrative, we also analyse the structures of wh-exclamatives, of predicative clauses and of degree phrases.

Komoditas perkebunan unggulan di Kecamatan Sungai Kakap, Kabupaten Kubu Raya  adalah tanaman kelapa dan tanaman pinang dengan produktivitas untuk tanaman kelapa pada tahun 2020 sebanyak 38.810 ton dari luas tanaman kelapa sebesar 32.284 Ha, dan kapasitas produksi pinang pada tahun 2021 sebanyak 652 ton dari luas perkebunan tanaman pinang sebesar 902 Ha. Limbah sabut pinang dan tempurung kelapa belum dimanfaatkan secara optimal oleh masyarakat untuk diolah menjadi produk-produk yang memiliki nilai tambah dan bermanfaat dalam meningkatkan pendapatan dan perekonomian masyarakat. Limbah sabut pinang dan limbah tempurung kelapa hasil dari perkebunan hanya ditumpuk hingga membusuk, bahkan tidak jarang dibakar sehingga menyebabkan pencemaran udara. Berdasarkan penelitian yang telah dilakukan, pada aspek teknis diperoleh mutu arang briket terbaik dengan komposisi campuran bahan baku limbah sabut buah pinang dan tempurung kelapa dengan variasi campuran perekat tepung tapioka sebanyak 30%, yang menghasilkan nilai parameter kadar air sebesar 6,56%, nilai kadar abu sebesar 4,52%, nilai kadar zat mudah menguap sebesar 3,52% dan nilai kadar karbon terikat sebesar 5.238 Cal. Sedangkan pada aspek keuangan dapat disimpulkan bahwa usaha produksi arang briket ini dinilai layak untuk dilakukan. Pertimbangan kelayakan tersebut dilihat berdasarkan perhitungan break event point (BEP), dimana untuk mendapatkan modal kembali hanya dibutuhkan sebanyak 22.053 kg produk arang briket yang terjual dalam waktu sekitar 22 bulan pada pendapatan Rp.30.350.748. Dari perhitungan didapatkan nilai NPV sebesar Rp. 75.493.892 lebih besar dari nilai project cost sebesar 39.500.000 sehingga usaha dapat dikatakan layak untuk dijalankan. Dari perhitungan IRR didapatkan hasil IRR sebasar 65%. Usaha dinilai layak apabila IRR > MARR dimana MARR=15%, karena IRR > 65% maka usaha produksi arang briket dinilai menguntungkan dan layak untuk dijalankan.
