Misdiagnosis of rarest subtype of sporadic Creutzfeldt Jakob Disease: a case report
Authors: Jabarkhil Aemal Aziz , Rasib Aziz Rahman , Asady Abdullah , Farzam Farhad
Published: July 2023

Background

Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (CJD), is a deadly degenerative condition of the central nervous system marked by rapidly progressive dementia. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) abnormalities in the cerebral cortex, basal ganglia, thalamus, and cerebellum could indicate severe acute diseases caused by a variety of factors. Although their MRI patterns may resemble those of CJD, clinical history, additional MRI findings, and laboratory testing are all necessary to provide a reliable difference. Here, we report a misdiagnosed case of probable VV1 subtype of sporadic CJD (sCJD) in which follow-up MRI supported the diagnosis.

Case presentation

A 41-year-old male patient attended the Neuropsychiatry Department with rapidly progressive dementia, akinetic mutism, and difficulty walking and speaking. His problem began with forgetfulness, disorganized behavior, and disorganized speech 7 months earlier which progressed rapidly and was accompanied by aphasia, apraxia, agnosia, and akinetic mutism in the last 2 months. On neurologic examination, hypertonia, hyperreflexia, frontal ataxia, bradykinesia, gait apraxia, and aphasia were noted. Based on clinical features and rapid symptoms progression the likely diagnosis of CJD was suspected. MRI and electroencephalography (EEG) were advised. MRI revealed features of diffuse cortical injury of both cerebral hemispheres also involving bilateral corpus striatum with evidence of cerebral volume loss. EEG showed lateralized periodic theta slow waves on the right side. According to the CDC’s diagnostic criteria for CJD, the diagnosis of probable sCJD was established. Supportive care and symptomatic treatment are provided for the patient. After a 1-month follow up the patient’s condition deteriorated significantly. The time-lapse from the first reported symptom to death was about 13 months.

Conclusion

The need of addressing CJD in patients presenting with rapidly progressive dementia is highlighted in this case report. In the early stages of the disease, interpretation of MRI results might cause diagnostic difficulties; therefore, follow-up MRI is critical in obtaining the correct diagnosis.
Προσδιορισμός της απελίνης (apelin) στο αμνιακό υγρό δευτέρου τριμήνου κυήσεων και καθορισμός της σχέσης των επιπέδων της με διαταραχές στην ενδομήτρια εμβρυική ανάπτυξη
Authors: Βραχνής Διονύσιος
Published: July 2023

Γενικό μέρος: Οι διαταραχές της εμβρυικής ανάπτυξης αποτελούν σημαντικό αίτιο εμβρυικής και νεογνικής νοσηρότητας και θνησιμότητας. Δυστυχώς δεν έχουν αποσαφηνιστεί πλήρως μέχρι σήμερα οι υποκείμενοι παθοφυσιολογικοί μηχανισμοί. Πληθώρα παραγόντων, μεσολαβητών και βιοχημικών δεικτών έχουν μελετηθεί σε μια προσπάθεια να γίνει εφικτή η πρόβλεψη αυτών των καταστάσεων και η αξιολόγηση της βαρύτητάς τους.Η απελίνη είναι μια λιποκίνη με πολλές βιολογικές λειτουργίες ειδικά στο φάσμα της ρύθμισης του μεταβολισμού. Την τελευταία δεκαετία ολοένα και περισσότερο ερευνάται ο ρόλος της απελίνης στην υπολειπόμενη εμβρυική ανάπτυξη. Μέχρι τώρα, οι περισσότερες μελέτες περιλαμβάνουν προσδιορισμούς της απελίνης στον μητρικό ορό ή στο αμνιακό υγρό του τρίτου τριμήνου κύησης. Όσον αφορά την ινσουλίνη, τα νεογνά διαβητικών μητέρων που παρουσιάζουν ενδομήτρια υπολειπόμενη ανάπτυξη εμφανίζουν ταυτόχρονα και δυσλειτουργία των β κυττάρων του παγκρέατος ως επακόλουθο της μειωμένης παροχής θρεπτικών συστατικών κατά την διάρκεια της ενδομήτριας ανάπτυξης. Η μακροσωμία επίσης οφείλεται σε εναπόθεση γλυκογόνου και λίπους στον κορμό του εμβρύου και αυτό προκαλείται από την εμβρυική υπερινσουλιναιμία.Ειδικό μέρος: Στη συγκεκριμένη προοπτική μελέτη εξετάζουμε τις συγκεντρώσεις της απελίνης και της ινσουλίνης στο αμνιακό υγρό 80 εγκύων γυναικών στις αρχές του δευτέρου τριμήνου κύησης που υπεβλήθησαν σε αμνιοπαρακέντηση ανάλογα με την ομάδα εμβρυικής ανάπτυξης που ανήκουν (SGA, AGA, LGA). Οι προσδιορισμοί έγιναν με την χρήση κατάλληλων Elisa kit. Η απελίνη και η ινσουλίνη μετρήθηκαν και στα 80 δείγματα. Η ανάλυση ανέδειξε στατιστικά σημαντικές διαφορές των συγκεντρώσεων της απελίνης μεταξύ των ομάδων (p=0,007). Συγκεκριμένα, οι συγκεντρώσεις της απελίνης στα μεγάλα για την ηλικία κύησης έμβρυα (LGA) ανευρέθηκαν σημαντικά χαμηλότερες σε σχέση με αυτές των ομάδων SGA και AGA. Οι διαφορές των συγκεντρώσεων ινσουλίνης των τριών ομάδων δεν ανευρέθησαν στατιστικά σημαντικές.Συμπερασματικά, διαπιστώνεται μια σαφής τάση προοδευτικής μείωσης των τιμών της απελίνης όσο το βάρος γέννησης αυξάνεται. Ο προσδιορισμός της απελίνης στο αμνιακό υγρό στις αρχές του δευτέρου τριμήνου ίσως μπορεί να αποτελέσει προγνωστικό δείκτη για τον προσδιορισμό του κινδύνου μακροσωμίας. Μελλοντικές μελέτες με μεγαλύτερο αριθμό περιστατικών αναμένεται να επιβεβαιώσουν τα παραπάνω ευρήματα, όπως επίσης θα μπορούσαν να επικεντρωθούν στην αλληλεπίδραση της απελίνης με άλλους ενδομήτριους μεταβολικούς παράγοντες.

Reflexões sobre a noção de autor na obra benjaminiana: um olhar a partir do relato autobiográfico "Varandas"
Authors: Gomes Enoque Alessandro
Published: July 2023

Tendo como pano de fundo o texto "Varandas" (presente na obra "Infância Berlinense: 1900), o presente artigo teve por objetivo refletir sobre a noção de autor na obra benjaminiana a partir de alguns dos seus textos que tratam da temática ("Experiência e pobreza", "O autor como produtor" e "O narrador: considerações sobre a obra de Nikolai Leskov"). Assim, pôde-se observar que o relato "autobiográfico" de Benjamin se encontra amparado, em um primeiro momento, no conceito de "rememoração". Desta maneira, ao tratar de sua infância burguesa na cidade de Berlim, Benjamin procura, na verdade, trazer à tona elementos para pensar criticamente a realidade social do momento presente, especialmente no que diz respeito ao avanço da técnica, do desencantamento do mundo e da desigualdade de classes no capitalismo.  Neste sentido, Benjamin apresenta o autor como aquele que tem duas faces principais: (a) aquela que insere a sua experiência no texto narrativo; e (b) aquela que insere seu posicionamento político aliada a uma preocupação acerca da qualidade do texto literário.

Legal Entropy in International Law
Authors: Chipiga Ilya V.
Published: July 2023

The article deals with the implementation of the principles and norms of international law. There are systematic violations and discreditations of the very essence of international law. Analyzing specific decisions and rulings of the European Court of Human Rights and political decisions of European states and the United States, we observe the possibility of developing and calculating the probabilities of compliance with the norms and principles of international law or their violation. We emphasize the foresight of Russia's policy of withdrawing from the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms.

We analyze the term legal entropy and its correlation with the entropy associated with the transfer of information in information theory. In this paper, we will consider the limited randomness on the issues of interest, determine the spaces of possible options for implementing the norms and principles of international law for specific countries, events, decisions of international judicial bodies on the example of the ECHR. Here are hypothetical figures for calculating entropy for the occurrence of each of the expected developments of the event in order to see the most probable picture of what happened or the future.

For the effective development of international law, it is necessary to introduce such a term as legal entropy, given that there is a stable correlation between jurisprudence and politics. This will allow for a more objective consideration of international law as a whole.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable, diverse cancer in which abnormal plasma cells produce and release monoclonal immunoglobulin (Ig), also known as monoclonal protein or M protein. MM is always preceded by monoclonal gammaglobulinemia of unknown significance (MGUS) and smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM). Diagnosis of MM is made from a bone marrow sample, which involves analysis of the appearance of plasma cells. Quantification of CD138+ plasma cells in core biopsies is performed using techniques such as immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and conventional cytogenetics. Urinalysis includes total protein by immunofixation and 24-hour urine by serum protein electrophoresis. FISH probes should detect the presence of at least del 13, del 17p, t(4;14), t(11;14), t(14;16), and 1q21 amplifications. Indeed, next-generation sequencing (NGS) has become an increasingly important tool in the diagnosis and treatment of MM. It can be used to identify genetic mutations, copy number changes, and clonal structures to help determine disease prognosis and treatment strategies. NGS can identify subclonal populations of cancer cells that are resistant to therapy and may lead to disease relapse, and can be used to identify potential targets for personalized therapy. For example, NGS can identify mutations in genes involved in drug resistance, enabling the selection of drugs that may be more effective in treating a patient's cancer. This systematic review analyzes 182 papers to determine the position and role of NGS in the diagnosis of MM. We first analyze the platforms and sample types used in the selected studies, and then start discussing the results.

Published: July 2023

Purpose:
To evaluate risk factors for intraocular pressure elevationafter vitreoretinal surgery with silicone oil tamponade and further develop predictive models to support clinical management.
Methods:
A retrospectively analyzed 824 eyes of 824 consecutive patients that presented to the Jiangsu Province Hospital between December 2015 and August 2019,
the IOP was measured from the preoperative visit and at the 1-week, 1-month, 3-month, and 6-month visits, and the final postoperative visit before silicone oil removal.Predictors were selected based on the p-value results of the univariate analysis.
Results：
Elevated intraocular pressure developed in 39.2% of the eyes postoperatively. The prediction model reached an accuracy of 0.7349. Single factor analysis revealed that age(p<0.001), myopia (p<0.001, OR=2.02[1.46-2.81]), retinal detachment (p=0.007, OR=5.97[1.41-53.42]), macular hole (p=0.009, OR=1.99[1.14-3.48]), lens status (p<0.001) and biological parameter (Axial Length p<0.01, Anterior Chamber Depth p=0.001, Lens Thickness p=0.028, White-to-White p= 0.02,) were risk factors, meanwhile the prediction model further found that hypertension, diabetes, the use of intraoperative laser and silicone oil viscosity can also influence the development of postoperative IOP elevation.
Conclusions：
Age, myopia, retinal detachment, macular hole and biological parameters have influence on postoperative intraocular pressure elevation for patients with silicone oil tamponade after pars plana vitrectomy. This may have some reference significance for reducing the incidence of high intraocular pressure after pars plana vitrectomycombined with silicone oil filling.
BioShield: Eco-friendly Super-Accumulator-Biopolymer based Heavy Metal Filter as a Plant Protector and Growth Stimulator
Authors: Swamy Sonia
Published: July 2023

Anthropogenic activities increase concentration of heavy metals in the environment to amounts that are harmful to plants, animals, and humans. Passing through food chains, these metals can affect biological functions, reduce plant yields, lead to food insecurity, accumulate in organs, even causing diseases such as cancer. The objective of this study was to determine optimal Super-Accumulator-Biopolymer from agro-wastes to reduce bioavailability of heavy metals and improve plant growth. It was predicted that if Super-Accumulator-Biopolymer (SAB) is made from carrageenan, chitosan, crosslinked-chitosan, and crosslinked-carrageenan and applied in hydroponics plant growth system for reducing heavy metals (HM), crosslinked chitosan SAB will be most effective, with 50% reduction in HM bioavailability and 25% improvement in promoting plant growth attributed to its highest bio-adsorption capacity. To study this, BioShields (Super-Accumulator-Biopolymers) were made from chitosan, carrageenan and two variations by crosslinking them with citric acid. Heavy metal aqueous solutions were passed through these BioShields. Three tests conducted were Bioavailability in Filtered Aqueous Solution (medium), Bioavailability in Plant Biomass, and Plant Growth Measurement. The results confirmed that hypothesis was partially correct; Across all tests, Crosslinked-Chitosan- Based-BioShield demonstrated highest efficacy. All variations of BioShields proved effective in exceeding 50% goal of bioavailability reduction and 25% goal of plant growth improvement. A few anomalies were associated with results of Carrageenan-Based-BioShield, but nevertheless, it proved viable when cross-linked with Citric Acid. Overall, BioShields are an effective solution, consistently yielding better results than direct exposure to HMs due to polymer networks, active binding sites, and biologically adhesive properties.

Authors: Heinen L. , Amrine D. E. , Larson R. L. , White B. J.
Published: July 2023

Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) is the costliest health condi­tion affecting feedyards in North America. Accurate identifica­tion of severe disease has the potential to aid in establishing an intervention to prevent a case fatality in individual animals. The study objective was to evaluate the diagnostic ability of predictive models to determine the probability a calf at first BRD treatment would finish the feeding period with the group or incur a negative outcome (railed or died). Additional com­parisons were made to evaluate potential benefits to predictive model performance by the addition of weather data, utilization of a data balancing technique, and creation of models for indi­vidual feedlots.

Use of oral boluses comprised of readily absorbed calcium salts and Solanum glaucophyllum leaf administered a single time after calving to reduce hypocalcemia in dairy cows
Authors: Goff J. P. , Riewer R. J. , VanWaardhuizen J. , Burchard M. R. , Zaebst C. , Silberhorn T.
Published: July 2023

Hypocalcemia is commonly observed in periparturient cows. If persistent beyond the first day of lactation, it contributes to poor milk production and other health problems (Neves et al., 2017). Oral Ca boluses can provide Ca for rapid absorption of Ca to support blood Ca concentration. Because their actions are short-lived (3-6 hrs), they are often administered at calving and again 12-24 hrs later. 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25 VD) and its analogs have been utilized to prevent milk fever, but must be given 1-3 days prior to parturition to be effective as 12-24 hrs are required to stimulate intestinal Ca absorption (Hove and Kris­tiansen, 1982). A major obstacle to the use of 1,25 VD to prevent hypocalcemia is administration within the effective window. Given too early, the dose must be repeated. Given too late, the cow can still suffer severe hypocalcemia. Solanum glaucophyl­lum (SG) is a plant whose leaves contain an inactive glycoside form of 1,25 VD. Within the rumen the glycoside is cleaved by rumen bacteria, liberating 1,25 VD which is rapidly absorbed into the blood. Our hypothesis is that administering a bolus with readily absorbable Ca and SG leaf will improve plasma Ca in periparturient cows when administered at the time of calv­ing. The Ca will sustain improved blood Ca concentrations for up to 12 hrs after calving and the SG leaf will stimulate intesti­nal Ca absorption from 12 hrs until 72 hrs after calving.

Published: July 2023

Masa Tanaman Belum Menghasilkan (TBM) karet merupakan masa yang sangat penting dan berpengaruh terhadap potensi produksi tanaman ketika disadap. Masa TBM yang umumnya berlangsung selama 5 tahun dapat dipercepat dengan kegiatan pemeliharaan yang optimal seperti pemupukan. Selain melalui tanah, pemupukan juga dapat diberikan secara langsung ke tanaman melalui daun menggunakan pupuk anorganik cair. Tulisan ini membahas tentang pengaruh pemberian pupuk anorganik cair melalui daun terhadap pertumbuhan tanaman karet belum menghasilkan. Penelitian dilaksanakan di Kebun Sukamangli dan Warnasari PT Perkebunan Nusantara IX, Jawa Tengah pada tanaman karet belum menghasilkan umur 2 tahun (TBM II). Penelitian pada bulan Januari - April (bulan basah) dan Agustus - September (bulan kering) tahun 2022. Jumlah tanaman yang diamati pertumbuhan lilit batangnya adalah 20-30 pada setiap perlakuan. Pupuk anorganik cair memiliki kandungan N, P, dan K masing-masing 3,5% yang diaplikasikan pada konsentrasi 6 ml/liter setiap 2 minggu. Aplikasi pupuk anorganik cair melalui daun sebagai pemupukan ekstra pada TBM I dan II diproyeksikan dapat mempercepat masa buka sadap pada akhir TBM IV. Hasil tersebut didasarkan pada peningkatan laju pertumbuhan lilit batang pada bulan kering sebesar 0,76 cm/bulan dan 1,27 cm/bulan pada bulan basah atau 13,2 cm/tahun yang sudah lebih tinggi 3,2 cm/tahun dibandingkan laju pertambahan lilit batang standar. Biaya pemupukan selama masa TBM menjadi lebih rendah Rp 6.117.180/ha dikarenakan tanaman karet dapat dibuka sadap lebih cepat sehingga tidak ada biaya pemupukan di TBM V. Pemupukan ekstra melalui daun selain mempercepat masa buka sadap dan mengurangi biaya pemupukan selama masa TBM tetapi juga dapat mempercepat pengembalian modal investasi.

Published: July 2023

Harga karet alam yang berfluktuasi sangat berpengaruh terhadap kesejahteraan petani karet. Produk berupa SIR 20 Indonesia mengacu pada harga Singapura Commodity (SICOM) yakni pasar berjangka internasional. Dalam 10 tahun terakhir harga karet berfluktuasi tinggi sehingga perlu kajian. Belum ada yang mengkaji apakah harga karet alam di tingkat internasional tertransmisi dengan baik ke tingkat petani, mengingat ada beberapa lembaga pemasaran dan pelaku usaha yang terlibat dalam industri karet di Indonesia, sehingga menarik juga untuk dikaji prediksi kontribusi setiap provinsi utama penghasil karet alam di Indonesia terhadap perubahan-perubahan harga karet. Manfaat penelitian untuk mengetahui ketersampaian harga di suatu pasar akan menyebabkan terjadinya perubahan pada pasar pengikutnya. Pemilihan lokasi penelitian dilakukan secara purposive sampling yakni data harga di tingkat SICOM dan petani di 8 provinsi produsen karet alam utama Indonesia. Data harga yang digunakan yakni sejak Januari 2016 hingga Desember 2021. Transmisi harga karet alam diukur dari harga internasional ke harga di tingkat petani digunakan analisis regresi linier sederhana, sedangkan untuk menganalisis integrasi pasar karet alam antar provinsi utama menggunakan metode analisa Vector Autoregressive (VAR) dan Vektor Error Correction Model (VECM) dengan menggunakan software Rstudio. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa harga karet pada tingkat pasar internasional telah tertransmisi dengan baik dengan harga di tingkat petani, artinya petani dengan mudah mengakses informasi harga internasional yaitu harga di SICOM. Hasil prediksi kontribusi perubahan harga/FEVD (Forcest Error Varians Decomposition) yang menunjukkan bahwa beberapa provinsi di Indonesia saling mempengaruhi terhadap perubahan harga di setiap provinsi produsen karet di Indonesia.

Kecamatan Selakau has a considerable risk of flooding, which occurs every year. Because it has a low topography, its location on the coast is undoubtedly greatly influenced by tides and is prone to tidal flooding. In an effort to anticipate and reduce the duration and frequency of rain by arranging the drainage system through technical study activities on drainage channels, especially on the Nyirih River drainage channel, which empties directly into the Selakau River.This research aims to examine the effect of the Selakau River's tides on the Nyirih River's drainage flow and the combination of tides and rainfall on the incidence of flooding in the Nyirih River channel. The research methodology used is the descriptive method. Hydrological analysis using the maximum daily rainfall data from Tebas Station. Then the Nyirih River water level tidal readings and the design discharge data are used in the hydrodynamic model analysis.Based on the analysis results using the HEC-RAS Version 6.1.0 software, the water level elevation from sta is at the highest tide conditions without rain. 0+000 to sta. 1 + 466,682 has exceeded the elevation of the existing channel cross-section so that it experiences inundation with a height of 0.02 m–0.4 m, and at sta. 1 + 694,439 to sta. 2 + 073.878, the water level is still below the existing cross-sectional elevation of the channel, so no inundation occurs. It shows that there is no effect or increase in water level elevation that occurs for the highest tide combination conditions with rainfall return periods of 2, 5, 10, and 20 years, and it is the same as the highest tide conditions without rain, which experience inundation with a height of 0.02 m-0.4 m. Normalization is inefficient and unsuccessful in decreasing floods since sea tides extensively impact the Nyirih along the river channel.

This Building Construction Project has obstacles to the ongoing excavation and Mgrading work, tools that need to be improved, and less supportive terrain conditions. As a result, the completion of work may be delayed leading to cost overruns. Therefore, the need for an active role of management, especially productivity calculations, to determine fundamental change steps so that these obstacles can be avoided or reduced. To analyze the machine's productivity, it must be by the theory of machine productivity related to the subject matter obtained and the appropriate stages of analysis. Thus, machine planning must be carried out carefully and precisely so that the effectiveness of optimal machine use and time can be achieved by calculating the productivity value of the machine. Based on the data analysis, the results of heavy equipment needs were obtained, namely, two units of excavated excavators, five units of dump trucks, and two units of Mgrading excavators. With the total costs incurred to complete the excavation and Mgrading work, namely for excavators Rp. 124,785,550.00 and dump trucks Rp. 11,496,875.00. To complete the excavation and Mgrading work takes 205 hours excavator and 13 hours dump truck.
