The Effect of Systolic Blood Pressure on Cement Penetration Depth in Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty
Authors: Shen Michelle
Published: December 2022

Background: Cement Penetration Depth (CPD) into bone is an important factor for successful Total Knee Arthroplasties (TKA). Our study investigated the effect of Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) on average tibial, femoral and total CPD in primary TKA.

Methods and Findings: In this retrospective cohort study, patients who had a primary TKA between November 2018 and February 2020 at four, academic medical centers were included. CPD was evaluated according to the Knee Society Radiographic Evaluation System on radiographs one month post-operatively. Two independent evaluators measured four zones of tibial penetration and three zones of femoral penetration and averaged their results. The measurements were combined to create an average tibial, average femoral and average total CPD. SBP was collected at the 3/4 time of surgery length- the estimated time of cementation.

1221 primary TKA cases were included in the study – 1128 in the tourniquet group and 93 in the tourniquet-less group. There were no significant differences between the age, sex, BMI, or LOS between the two cohorts. A multiple, multivariate analysis was performed. In the tourniquet-less group, SBP did not significantly affect average tibial CPD (p=0.98), average femoral CPD (p=0.45), or average total CPD (p=0.23). However, tourniquet use was found to significantly increase average femoral (p<0.001) and total penetration (p=0.001).

Conclusion: SBP did not significantly affect tibial, femoral, or total CPD in patients undergoing tourniquet-less, primary TKA. However, the use of a tourniquet significantly aids in average femoral and total CPD. The clinical significance of this difference needs further investigation.

LINGUOPRAGMATIC ASPECTS OF ARMENIAN HEALTH PSAS
Authors: KHARAZYAN Heghine
Published: December 2022

PSAs have developed in Armenia during the recent years. Though they are rather few in number, it is possible to group them thematically. One of the most important themes of Armenian PSAs is healthcare, with topics like prevention of smoking, HIV/AIDS, and Coronavirus infection. For the purpose of effectiveness, print PSAs incorporate linguistic texts and images. The intentional application of both linguistic and extra[1]linguistic means aims at fostering the illocutionary force of advertisements in promoting healthy lifestyle.
CONCEPTUALIZATION OF TIME IN BRITISH AND ARMENIAN FOLK TALES: METAPHOR AND METONYMY
Authors: MADATYAN Lusine
Published: December 2022

Thе paper deals with the conceptualization of time with metonymies and metaphors in British and Armenian folk tales. Folk tale text as an imaginative and fictitious phenomenon carries some vivid aspects of unconscious and is considered to be a valuable material for linguistic research.
The examples under analysis illustrate that in both British and Armenian folk tales the abstract concept of time is metaphorized as subject, space, and object. Moreover, the study shows that rituals, lifestyles, agricultural activities, natural phenomena, food products, and names of kingdoms are widely used as metonymies in the folk tale genre.

Effects of Climate Change on Animal Husbandry
Authors: BULUT Mutlu , ÖZDEN Cevher
Published: December 2022

Climate has a significant impact on agricultural production. According to scientific data, climate change is having a growing impact on the planet's life, and different regions of the world are experiencing this impact in different ways. The greatest challenge to achieving sustainable development is climate change, which also poses a serious risk to the survival of humanity. It will have far-reaching consequences within the context of animal production, and particularly in regions of vital importance to the world's nutrition and livelihoods. All species have ideal climatic parameters for survival in animal husbandry, and changes to these variables have a negative impact on the quality and quantity of farm animals and animal products. There are four key areas where the effects of climate change on animal productivity can be studied. These include effects on pasture quality, effects on animal diseases and pests, effects on animal health, growth, and reproduction. They also include implications on the availability, quality, and price of feed crops. Planning for the sector's future is crucial in order to meet the population's food needs, lessen the impact of climate change on livestock output, and reduce the sector's contribution to global warming. Adapting animal husbandry to climate change is required to reduce all these harmful effects.

Published: December 2022

Currently, people in Indonesia are starting to become aware of consuming proper drinking water so the demand for proper drinking water increases every year. This is an opportunity for Club mineral water to meet market demand. Club’s drinking water brand has started to gain public attention, as shown by the Club’s brand being included in the category of five bottled drinking water based on consumer choice according to Indonesia’s Top Brand data. Even so, the Club has the lowest market share percentage when compared to its four competitors. Furthermore, looking at the internal sales performance of the Indofood CBP’s group, sales of the beverage division were smaller than other divisions. This shows that the Club needs to analyze its strategy to improve its sales performance so the company can become a leader in its market. This study further analyzes how the company runs its business from an external and internal perspective. This study uses external analysis such as PESTEL analysis, Porter’s five forces, consumer analysis, and competitor analysis. Moreover, there are also internal analyses such as analysis of the company’s core competencies, resource-based analysis, and VRIO. Then a further analysis was conducted by using a SWOT analysis to determine the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats to the Club’s mineral water products. This study uses qualitative and quantitative methods using a survey of Club mineral water customers. The researcher also analyzed the position of the Club’s mineral water compared to its business competitors in terms of sales, followers on Instagram social media, frequencies of Instagram posting, and how competitors use digital media. After that, the TOWS matrix will help the Club’s mineral water develop its business and sales. The recommendations given include that the company should know its core competencies to develop, makes product innovations that are different from its competitors, improve the way product promotions are delivered, and optimizes digital media as a sales tool. Strategy implementation in the form of a Gantt chart is made based on these recommendations so that PT ICBP Club could implement it properly.

Authors: Sarmiento-Sarmiento Guido , Manrique-Nuñez Horacio , Lipa-Mamani Luis
Published: December 2022

Imidacloprid is a neonicotinoid insecticide used to control insect pests in avocado (Persea americana); its excessive application could generate residues above the maximum residue limits (MRL) in the fruit, causing a serious health risk to consumers. The objective of this work was to determine the residues and dissipation of imidacloprid in avocado fruit, Hass variety. The treatments were the doses of Imidacloprid (0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 mL.L-1) under the commercial formulation Thunder 350SC and the forms of application (sprayed to foliage and drip at the foot of the plant). There were six treatments in a completely randomized experimental design with three replications and 18 experimental units (plants). Quantification was by HPLC (QuEChERS). The evaluations were carried out on two matrices (avocado fruit peel and pulp) at 1, 3, 7 and 14 days after the application of Imidacloprid. The application of the 0.5 mL.L-1 dose by drip at the foot of the plant resulted in lower residual and a higher percentage of dissipation in both matrices, higher daily dissipation rate in the pulp, with imidacloprid concentrations that did not exceed the MRL (0.7 mg.kg-1). The application of 1.5 mL.L-1 by spraying resulted in higher residual, and in a lower percentage of dissipation in both matrices, with imidacloprid concentrations in the peel exceeding the MRL at 7 and 14 days. In the pulp, none of the treatments exceeded the MRL.

The SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic is a leading medical problem that is in the focus of attention of representatives of all medical specialties. In addition to fighting the COVID-19 infection itself, the task of preventing and treating a wide range of complications arising after the disease is becoming increasingly urgent. One of these complications is avascular necrosis (AN) of bone tissue – a severe pathology that leads to serious suffering, a decrease in the quality of life and disability of patients. For the period from 2020 to 2022 there are 9 reviews in the world literature devoted to the pathogenesis, clinical features and treatment possibilities of this complication. During the same period, 5 articles were published describing clinical observations of AN after suffering COVID-19.The purpose of this work is to demonstrate our own clinical observations, as well as to review the available literature data on the problem of AN after COVID-19 infection. Based on the analysis, it can be concluded that AN after SARS-CoV-2 infection most often develops in the femoral head (>50% of cases), occurs regardless of the severity of the disease and the cumulative dose of glucocorticoids used in the acute period of the disease. It seems advisable to perform an MRI of the hip joints at least once every 3 months for all patients who have had COVID-19 in severe and moderate form during the first year after convalescence.

Authors: Gubar E. E. , Korotaeva T. V.
Published: December 2022

Among the variety of clinical manifestations of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) – including peripheral arthritis, dactylitis, enthesitis, and axial disease – spondylitis is the least studied. There is no generally accepted definition of axial PsA (axPsA), nor is there any common terminology or diagnostic criteria for it. In the rheumatology community, there is also no consensus regarding radiological and MRI assessment of axial involvement in PsA patients, while disease activity indexes and the therapeutic tactics are borrowed from those used in treating axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS). However, despite a range of similarities in immunopathogenetic mechanisms of axPsA and axSpA, there are also certain differences that may affect the treatment response in these patients. The aim of this review is the analysis of data on axial disease in PsA. The article discusses the genetic features, clinical presentations, imaging techniques, differential diagnostics and treatment options of axPsA.

Published: December 2022

Calcium pyrophosphate crystal deposition disease (CPPD) is a disease caused by the deposition of calcium pyrophosphate crystals, mainly in the articular cartilage, and often manifests as severe acute or chronic arthritis. Therapy given in such cases with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, colchicine, methotrexate and glucocorticoids is often effective. In these cases, the possibility of prescribing biological drugs, primarily interleukin 1 (IL-1) inhibitors, is being considered. The article analyzes the experience of using Anakinra, an IL-1 receptor antagonist, registered in the Russian Federation in 2021, in 5 patients with persistent arthritis in CPPD. The article also presents an analysis of data from key studies on the use of the drug in patients with CPPD.

Authors:   Department of Neurology, Farwanya Hospital, Kuwait, Khedr Diana , Alkhashan Sulaiman ,   Department of Neurology, Farwanya Hospital, Kuwait
Published: December 2022

Background: Focal seizures related to non-ketotic hyperglycemia (NKH) are rare in clinical practice. Plasma glucose levels are usually above 16.6 mmol/L and with normal or slightly elevated serum osmolality. The occurrence of focal seizures may be augmented by the absence of ketoacidosis. Electroencephalogram (EEG) during seizures usually confirms the diagnosis, however, the absence of epileptiform discharges does not rule out seizures. A non-ketotic hyperglycemiaassociated occipital lobe seizure can manifest itself as color flashes, blurry vision with periodic confusion, and usually resolves with insulin treatment and rehydration. Recently, seizures associated with nonketotic hyperglycemia have been found to be associated with subcortical T2 hypointensity on magnetic resonance imaging, especially in the occipital lobes. However, the mechanism remains unclear, although iron accumulation is suggested. Case Presentation: We present a case 41- year-old male patient who presented headache, left-sided visual disturbances in the form of seeing round, colored flickering lights with left homonymous hemianopia and occipital lobe seizures associated with nonketotic hyperglycemia found to have a blood glucose of 18 mmol/L with a normal anion gap of 10 and calculated serum osmolality of 303 mOsm/L. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain showed subcortical T2 and flair hypointensity due to iron accumulation .The patient’s visual disturbances and seizures responded to rehydration and insulin treatment. Conclusion: In conclusion, nonketotic hyperglycemia can be associated with occipital lobe seizures supporting the role of iron accumulation as a mechanism for subcortical T2 hypointensity in magnetic resonance imaging. Hyperglycemia should be taken into consideration when making an etiologic diagnosis of homonymous hemianopia.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji bagaimana gender dan pembagian pekerjaan rumah tangga permeabel kebahagiaan suami-isteri, korban Erupsi Merapi 2010, yang tinggal di Huntap Dongkelsari dan menghadapi dampak Covid-19. Survei dilakukan terhadap 90 responden yang dipilih secara acak. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui observasi, kuesioner, wawancara, dan dokumentasi. Data dianalisis menggunakan regresi logistik biner. Hasil penelitian menunjukan empat pekerjaan rumah tangga permeabel kebahagiaan suami-isteri, yaitu: menyiapkan makan pagi oleh isteri yang dulu bekerja, usia perkawinan 11 tahun lebih, memiliki kambing, lahan, ayam, TV, HP, sepeda motor, anggota keluarga lebih dari lima, berpenghasilan tinggi, punya mobil, perhiasan, tabungan, dan sekarang menjadi ibu rumah tangga cenderung kurang bahagia. Membersihkan rumah oleh isteri yang memiliki sepeda motor, usia 31 tahun ke atas, memiliki ternak kambing, tabungan, pendidikan tinggi, berpenghasilan tinggi, memiliki lemari es, dan ternak sapi cenderung merasa bahagia. Mencuci pakaian oleh suami dan isteri cenderung membuatnya bahagia. Memperbaiki rumah oleh suami-isteri yang memiliki ternak ayam cenderung tidak bahagia. Pasangan dengan 4 anak atau lebih cenderung kurang bahagia. Isteri yang tidak memiliki lahan tetapi memiliki sepeda dan sepeda motor cenderung bahagia. Secara keseluruhan, isteri cenderung lebih gigih dalam berjuang menghadapi dampak Covid-19 demi keluarga dibandingkan suami. Situasi ini seharusnya menjadi pelajaran betapa pentingnya kesetaraan gender bagi kebahagiaan suami-istri.
