Telemonitoring of implantable devices is a long known and established element of heart failure patients’ care. All companies that produce implantable devices also deliver remote monitoring systems. Clinical data show safety and efficacy in this kind of care. It prevents hospitalisations due heart failure exacerbations. It also allows to reduce costs of care by reducing the number of in office visits and transport costs. In COVID-19 pandemy time cardiologic associacions (including polish) recommend using remote monitoring systems to reduce the spreading of pandemy and the risk of infection in heart failure patients. Until now there was no possibility in the polish healthcare system to reimburse remote care. After Polish Health Ministry announcement this possibility appears for the first time. The Implantable Device Ambulance of Western Hospital in Grodzisk Mazowiecki has 88 patients with implanted ICDs and CRTDs under remote care. System Carelinc of Medtronic allowed the number of relevant clinical decisions. From March 2020 the patients in the telemonitoring group undergo remote visits which are reimbursed by the National Health Fund.
Anticoagulant therapy in elderly patients and cardiac implantable electronic devices
Authors: Wełnicki Marcin , Kurek Aleksandra , Stemplewska Zuzanna
Published: May 2021

The number of implantations of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED), as well as the prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF), is on the rise as the population ages. At the same time, regardless of the need for CIED implantation, many elderly patients require long-term anticoagulation therapy to prevent stroke. Those patients are considered a group of higher risk of perioperative complications of CIED implantation. This review article provides a summary of the indications, possibilities, and challenges of anticoagulation treatment in elderly patients with indications for CIED implantation.
Infection risk factor for cardiac implantable devices
Authors: Grydz Łukasz
Published: May 2021

Each year, 1.2-1.4 million devices such as pacemakers, cardioverter-defibrillators and devices with the resynchronization function are implanted, and for some time also electrodes for stimulating the His bundle or the left bundle branch. One of the most serious complications of electrotherapy is infections of implantable systems (CIED infection). Knowing the risk factors give the option to choose other therapies and reduce the risk of infection. Important patient-related factors include: diabetes, heart and/or kidney failure or dysfunction, COPD, the presence of neoplastic disease and use of anticoagulation in the short term before the procedure. According to the research, the number of treatments performed in the implanting centre and by the operator, as well as the number of electrodes, the method of preparing the operating field, or the method of inserting the electrodes, also seems to be important in the development of CIED infection. It is better to prevent the infection than to cure it, as possible complications can be deadly for the patient and costly for the health system.
Influence of pH and Cellic® CTec2 enzymes dose on the glucose yield after enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose at 45 °C
Authors: Marchwicka Monika
Published: May 2021

Influence of pH and Cellic® CTec2 enzymes dose on the glucose yield after enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose at 45 °C. The enzymatic hydrolysis with the use of industrial enzymes Cellic® CTec2 (Novozymes, Denmark) was carried out within the conditions recommended by the manufacturer and literature. Cellulose obtained by the Kürschner-Hoffer method from a wood of 3-year-old poplar (Populus trichocarpa) was used for the study. Three pH values of 4.8, 5.0 and 5.5 were applied. Also, three amounts of enzymes were used: 25, 50 and 100 mg per 100 mg of the dry mass of cellulose for each pH used. The temperature was 45 °C. Samples were taken after 24 h and subjected to chromatographic analysis to determine the glucose content in the hydrolysates, and then the process parameters allowing for the highest glucose yield after the enzymatic hydrolysis process. The highest glucose yield was obtained for pH 5.0 and 100 mg of enzymes per 100 mg of the dry mass of cellulose – 79 %.
Arosenius Translated. Digitisation as a Rephrasing of Meaning
Authors: Westin Jonathan
Published: May 2021

To analyse and discuss the procedures through which a digital copy is brought into being as a representation of the physical original, this study offers an in-depth exploration of a single digitisation effort, that of the Ivar Arosenius Archive. Using Actor-Network Theory as a theoretical framework, this article argues that to digitise is to translate, a work that demands expert knowledge in a series of disciplines such as information science, image processing, archiving and conservation. The translation functions to rephrase the archival material with the purpose of making it mobile and conform to those protocols that define something as being digital, all while enrolling associations which strengthens it as a digital original. However, through this process, the multi-sensory archive is reduced to an ocularcentric archive, potentially losing meaning.
Diversifying the Ocean Sciences: Thoughts on the Challenge Ahead
Authors:   California State University, Monterey Bay, Garza Corey
Published: June 2021

The lack of diversity in the ocean sciences is not a particularly big secret or a recent issue. In his inaugural column in 2000 for The Oceanography Classroom, Dean McManus wrote: “A particular challenge for higher education is to include more members of underrepresented groups in the study of the ocean. Fifteen years from now, 40% of the traditional undergraduate-age population will consist of these underrepresented groups, but today the ocean sciences have the lowest participation by underrepresented groups of any science.” Despite this prescient statement from McManus, little progress has been made in diversifying the ranks of the ocean sciences. In a recent National Science Foundation survey of current graduate students in the ocean sciences, approximately 8.8% of those surveyed identify as coming from a group that is considered part of a minority community in the United States (Black, Hispanic/Latinx, Native Alaskan, Native American, Pacific Islander). As might be expected, these numbers are even worse for the professional ranks of agencies, nonprofits, and university programs that focus on the ocean sciences. The lack of these communities’ representation in ocean science careers is underscored by the past year’s news reports, brimming as they have been with the brutality and injustices that those in BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) communities face daily. The STEM community, including the ocean sciences, is now, more than ever, being forced to confront the ways in which its institutions and culture contribute to the inequities facing BIPOC communities. Here, I draw upon my dual identity as a member of the ocean science and Latinx communities to discuss how the ocean sciences can enact meaningful changes around improving diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).

Thriving at Low pH: Adaptation Mechanisms of Acidophiles
Authors: Chen Xianke
Published: June 2021

Acid resistance of acidophiles is the result of long-term co-evolution and natural selection of acidophiles and their natural habitats, and formed a relatively optimal acid-resistance network in acidophiles. The acid tolerance network of acidophiles could be classified into active and passive mechanisms. The active mechanisms mainly include the proton efflux and consumption systems, generation of reversed transmembrane electrical potential, and adjustment of cell membrane composition; the passive mechanisms mainly include the DNA and protein repair systems, chemotaxis and cell motility, and quorum sensing system. The maintenance of pH homeostasis is a cell-wide physiological process that adopt differently adjustment strategies, deployment modules, and integration network depending on the cell’s own potential and its habitat environments. However, acidophiles exhibit obvious strategies and modules similarities on acid resistance because of the long-term evolution. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of acid tolerance network of acidophiles would be helpful for the intelligent manufacturing and industrial application of acidophiles.

Published: June 2021

The millennial generation has been known as the most anxious and depressed one, due to lack of more physical attachment. During these COVID-19 times, these problem had been widened for everyone - many had been panic about the illness, the media had played an awful hole on it, creating a scenario of huge risk for lives and jobs. We are facing a perfect storm, where we are not allowed to do most of the recreation and healthie programs - like visit the ones beloved, go to gym, go to a party. The use of internet have a lot of misinformation about the pandemic and even physicians, scientists and health politicians overload us with useless information. It was really hard to identify what was important. In this situation, dealing with uncertainty, anxiety and depression had created a huge problem for physicians and psychologists. How to help and support that. There are many strategies that we have used. First to diminish the search of information over COVID-19, selecting one trustable source. Second, contact your beloved ones, if possible with video call on an everyday basis. Third, develop a routine of physical activities in order to keep your body health. Fourth try to develop a health pattern of food. Together they can diminish the chance of having anxiety and depression. But if you need support for a professional, it’s important to have teams of professional available to give attention to that issues. The very first is a phone support or internet support, by teams that could discuss the problems and develop a personal strategy to deal with this situation. But when that is not enough, we must have a consultation with a physician or a psychologist. The approach must discuss fillings, worries and how to plan this isolation times. Most of us have a hidden agenda and fear that must be addressed and at this time it is important to allow the patients to talk about freely, and to develop empathy with their worries. After that we can promote some activities to diminish the fillings of anxiety and depression.
Role of Blood Lipid Levels and Lipid-Lowering Therapy in Stroke Patients with Different Levels of Cerebral Artery Diseases: Reconsidering Recent Stroke Guidelines
Authors: Kim Jong S.
Published: June 2021

Hyperlipidemia is an important risk factor for ischemic stroke; the Stroke Prevention by Aggressive Reduction in Cholesterol Level and Treat Stroke to Target studies have shown that statins are beneficial for patients with stroke and that a low target for low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) concentration may maximize this benefit. Based on these results, recent guidelines have emphasized the application of “high-intensity statins” and “low LDL-C target” strategies in patients with stroke. However, it should be kept in mind that the role of blood lipids as a risk factor and benefit of lipid-lowering therapy are different among patients with different levels of cerebral arterial diseases. Studies have suggested that hypolipidemia, but not hyperlipidemia, is a risk factor for small vessel diseases (SVDs) such as intracerebral hemorrhages, microbleeds, white matter hyperintensities, and perhaps, lacunar infarction. Although lipid-lowering agents might benefit certain patients with SVD, high-intensity statin and low LDL-C target strategies cannot be applied. In contrast, these strategies are important in patients with extracranial atherosclerosis, such as internal carotid disease, considering ample evidence of the benefits of lipid-lowering agents. Imaging studies have shown that statins stabilize vulnerable plaques in these patients. Although lipid-lowering agents are likely to benefit patients with intracranial atherosclerosis, the degree of their benefit and appropriate target LDL-C level for these patients remain unclear. More studies are needed to elucidate the appropriate lipid-modifying strategies in patients with stroke with different levels of cerebral artery disease.

Published: June 2021

The noise is defined as unwanted sound that causes discomfort and physical changes. This study was conducted to evaluate intensity of noise in the pediatric dental clinic and to investigate noise environment of a pediatric dentist. Human ear shaped microphone and mobile noise level meter were used for recording noise and calculating intensity of noise.
By recording according to the method specified by Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency (KOSHA) of Korea Ministry of labor and employment, the following results were obtained. For 16 experimental days, 8 hour time weighted average (8hr-TWA) was 49.33 dBA (A-weighted deci-Bell) on daily average with maximum 58.54 dBA and minimum 33.97 dBA. And Dose was 0.49% on daily average with maximum 1.28%, minimum 0.04%. These values are less than criteria of KOSHA standard (85 dBA, 100%). Comparing the highest noise level for each patient, pulp therapy group and Frankel grade I group were the highest.
The intensity of dental noise of pediatric dental clinic didn’t meet standard of KOSHA. It is necessary to re-evaluate noise environment by establishing new standards considering environment of pediatric dental clinic.

Published: June 2021

Eruption disturbances of the mandibular first molars can cause multiple problems in occlusal development although they are extremely rare. Early diagnosis and treatment are very important to prevent complications associated with eruption disturbances. The present case report describes the treatment of two cases of eruption disturbances of the mandibular first permanent molar. A fixed appliance composed of a cantilever spring with mandibular second deciduous molar as an anchor tooth was used to tract the impacted mandibular first permanent molar. The success of both cases shows that this novel traction appliance can be used to induce the eruption of an impacted mandibular first permanent molar within a short time in patients with intact mandibular second deciduous molar as an anchor tooth.

Published: June 2021

Inovação tecnológica e empreendedorismo tem sido temas em evidência, sendo assim muito discutido na contemporaneidade, em meios científicos, políticos e empresariais. Embora são conceitos diferentes, sugere-se a existência de uma relação entre eles. Assim, na tentativa de verificar a existência dessa associação, o presente estudo realizou uma pesquisa qualitativa e exploratória, que se utilizou de dados quantitativos. Os resultados mostram crescimento significativo aos longos dos anos verificados com enfoque para a P&D.  Houve também o aumento da atividade inovadora nas indústrias e do comércio também, o que é positivo para os pequenos negócios. A pesquisa ressalta também que os termos empreendedorismo e inovação, embora tenham alguma proximidade, expressam conceitos diferentes. O empreendedorismo consiste no processo por meio do qual indivíduos transformam ideias em oportunidades, a fim de gerar riqueza. A inovação, por sua vez, é o processo por meio do qual novos produtos e serviços ou processos são implementados; também visa à continuidade do negócio e a geração de receita chave para o crescimento econômico e o desenvolvimento social baseados no conhecimento. Assim, a novidade necessária à inovação consiste na principal diferença entre os termos. Com isso, nem todos os empreendedores são inovadores, como destacado por alguns conceitos referentes ao empreendedorismo.

Os Artrópodes constituem um filo que corresponde a cerca de 75% das espécies do planeta, e dentro dessa ordem, encontra-se a Classe dos insetos, principalmente os pertencentes à Ordem Diptera, que correspondem há mais de 150 mil espécies já descritas em todo o mundo. Os simulídeos, inseridos na subordem Nematocera com uma ampla distribuição geográfica, são organismos que apresentam uma grande importância médico-veterinária, por serem transmissores de patógenos, como vermes do gênero Mansonella e Onchocerca, que afetam tanto os seres humanos quanto os animais. Os simulídeos são animais que apresentam uma importância ambiental notável, onde devido ao aumento das concentrações de matérias orgânicas nos rios e ao aporte de dejetos domésticos, agrícolas e industrias, permitem que esses insetos possam ser considerados como organismos bioindicadores da qualidade do ambiente. Filogeneticamente, os simulídeos são um importante grupo na base dos Diptera, que correspondem aos mosquitos e moscas, cujos aspectos evolutivos têm sido pouco estudados. Uma vez que os estudos de desenvolvimento embrionário dos Diptera se restringem em sua maior parte à mosca-da-fruta Drosophila melanogaster, estudos de biologia do desenvolvimento de simulídeos são importantes para compreender aspectos evolutivos fundamentais da evolução do grupo. No presente artigo discutiremos a importância de se estudar os aspectos negligenciados desta numerosa Ordem de insetos.

A comunidade de organismos do solo, inclui espécies visíveis a olho nu (>2,0 mm), é representada por mais de 20 grupos taxonômicos. O solo é um ambiente heterogêneo e dinâmico, na qual se constitui uma enorme variedade de organismos e alta biodiversidade e abundância de seres vivos. Esse trabalho tem como objetivo analisar a diversidade e caracterizar o solo de uma área de Nim (Azadirachta indica), localizada Igarapé-açu, fazenda escola da UFRA, por meio de índices de diversidade para a macrofauna edáfica e a carta de Munsell para identificação da cor do solo. O trabalho foi conduzido durante 6 meses no período de março a setembro de 2018, contendo 4 visitas ao longo da pesquisa. Com isso foram realizadas 3 coletas para macrofauna edáfica e solo. Foram utilizados os índices de Shannon-Wiener, Simpson e Pielou, para avaliar a diversidade da macrofauna, e no solo, foram feitas coletas por blocos, onde cada bloco realizou-se 4 repetições com profundidades de 0 cm – 20cm, 20 cm – 40 cm, 40 cm – 60cm e 60 cm – 80 cm, em um total de 64 amostras. Tanto a macrofauna édafica como o solo, mostraram uma associação fundamental para o equilíbrio de um sistema onde abriga uma variedade considerável de vida. Conforme os índices de diversidade, pode-se perceber que existem grupos taxonômicos que dominante determinado habitat em prol da condição e o período que se encontram, indicando maior atividade na coleta 3, fato atrelado ao início do período seco, onde as folhas de Nim começam a cair. O solo da região foi caracterizado como latossolos com características argilo-arenosa. Foi possível, constatar que a macrofauna edáfica, associada com o meio solo como um todo, são fundamentais para o equilíbrio de um sistema que habita uma variedade inimaginável de vida. Sendo os representantes dos Diplopodas a espécie mais presente na área estudada.

Objetivou-se determinar a composição florística e estrutura fitossociológica de um fragmento de Caatinga em regeneração e estimar o estoque de biomassa nas plantas arbóreo/arbustivas, a fim de determinar seu potencial energético. Conduziu-se o trabalho na Fazenda Experimental Piroás (FEP), da Universidade da Integração Internacional da Lusofonia Afro-Brasileira (UNILAB), Redenção, Ceará. Na composição florística das plantas adotou-se o método de quadrantes. Estimou-se os parâmetros fitossociológicos das espécies: densidade absoluta (DA) e relativa (DR), frequência absoluta (FA) e relativa (FR), dominância absoluta (DoA) e relativa (DoR) e índice de valor de importância (IVI). A biomassa aérea total de cada espécie foi estimada utilizando equações alométicas. Observou-se 15 famílias e 27 espécies de plantas. A família Fabaceae destacou-se das demais, com 9 espécies. Os maiores números de indivíduos e IVI foram da Piptadenia stipulacea, Mimosa caesalpiniifolia e Bauhinia cheilantha. O estoque de biomassa das espécies refletiu o número de indivíduos e diâmetro dos mesmos, assim, T. gardneriana apresentou maior biomassa, devido maior diâmetro, seguida de M. Caesalpiniifolia e P. stipulacea, devido aos maiores números de indivíduos. Estas três espécies contribuem para a produção de biomassa do fragmento de Caatinga, representando possíveis alternativas a serem utilizadas como fonte de energia.

Authors: Feitosa Anny Kariny , Oliveira Carlos Wagner
Published: June 2021

Considerando-se os distintos problemas ambientais, especialmente os relacionados a práticas agrícolas predatórias, que provocam a degradação dos recursos naturais, propõe-se, neste estudo, a análise da associação de práticas agrícolas sustentáveis com as variáveis socioeconômicas: gênero, idade, escolaridade, estado civil e renda, de um grupo de produtores rurais dos municípios Crato, Juazeiro do Norte e Barbalha, na Região Metropolitana do Cariri, Estado do Ceará, no Nordeste do Brasil. Inicialmente, foram realizadas entrevistas a sessenta produtores rurais, com a finalidade de identificar as variáveis socioeconômicas acima descritas. A partir das entrevistas, foi, ainda, possível evidenciar se há, por parte dos produtores, a adoção de práticas agrícolas sustentáveis, representada pelo índice de sustentabilidade ambiental de cada propriedade pesquisada. Por fim, realizou-se tratamento estatístico das variáveis, por meio da estimação do coeficiente de Spearman (Spearman rank-order coefficient), através do programa Data Analysis and Statical Software - Stata, versão 11. A pesquisa revelou que, para a amostra consultada, as variáveis Gênero, Idade, Escolaridade e Renda não foram estatisticamente significativas para confirmar associação com o índice de sustentabilidade ambiental das propriedades; enquanto a variável 'Estado civil' demonstrou uma fraca correlação, sendo possível afirmar que os produtores(as) casados(as) ou em união estável estão mais associados(as) à adoção de práticas de manejo ambientalmente adequadas, resultando em um maior índice de sustentabilidade da propriedade.

Rosa Chacel: redes sutiles, marginalidad y exilio
Authors: Cárcamo Silvia
Published: June 2021

En el contexto del exilio republicano en América, Rosa Chacel construyó una imagen de sí misma distanciada de la autofiguración heroica que caracterizó el discurso de otros exiliados. Sostenemos que su posición en cierto modo marginal no le impidió entrar en sintonía, durante los años cuarenta y cincuenta, con una línea de narrativa argentina que privilegiaba lo insólito y lo extraño y, además, estableció redes sutiles con artistas y escritoras centrales del campo cultural argentino de las dos primeras décadas de su exilio en Rio de Janeiro y Buenos Aires (Norah Borges, Elvira Orphée y Silvina Ocampo). En segundo lugar, nos detenemos e interpretamos la valoración de la escritora exiliada que ocurre hacia las décadas del 70 y 80, por parte de algunos jóvenes escritores españoles y argentinos.

The history of formation of the foundations of higher education in Buryatia
Authors: Ivanova Liliya Borisovna
Published: May 2021

This article explores poorly studied aspects of the emergence and development of the foundations of higher education in Buryatia. Special attention is given to the historical analysis of the knowledge traditions of the Buryat society and educational practice of Buddhism, as well as to examination of the experience of proliferation of the Western secular culture in Siberia after its annexation to Russia. The author considers the key principles of functionality and main trends in evolution of the traditions of higher education in the context of specific historical conditions of the late XIX – early XX centuries. The article describes the pivotal historical periods of the formation of higher education in the region. It becomes clear that the educational institutions that existed in different historical periods  served as catalysts for the development of higher education in Buryatia. The author determines that the development of the foundations of higher education in the region was influenced by the main trends in the development of pre-revolutionary Russian society and the initial stage of Soviet modernization. However, the peculiarities of historical-cultural development of Buryatia substantiated the specificity of solution of educational problems that were grounded on the rich cultural-historical heritage of the Buryat ethnos, ethnic processes, and national traditions of the Russian system of education. Soviet modernization accelerated the establishment of the foundations of higher education. The opening of higher education institutions in the republic in 1932 prompted the development of higher education in Buryatia, as well as preparation of highly qualified specialists.

Introducción. La toxoplasmosis es una zoonosis que se transmite por vía oral al consumir alimentos contaminados con cualquier forma infectiva de Toxoplasma gondii. Su transmisión por agua ha sido documentada en varios países, incluido Colombia. Al no disponer de agua potable, la población rural de Sincelejo podría estar en riesgo de contraer toxoplasmosis por esta vía.Objetivo. Evaluar la contaminación por T. gondii del agua para consumo humano proveniente de jagüeyes de la zona rural de Sincelejo y establecer su relación con diferentes determinantes sociales de la salud en el área de estudio.Materiales y métodos. Mediante PCR anidada, se evaluaron 96 muestras de agua obtenidas en 48 fincas ubicadas en ocho corregimientos rurales de Sincelejo. En cada finca se obtuvieron dos muestras: una de agua cruda de jagüey y otra destinada al consumo directo. En cada finca se hizo una encuesta para recolectar información sobre características físicas de la vivienda, presencia de gatos, y disponibilidad de agua y sus usos. Las relaciones estadísticas se evaluaron con el test de Fisher.Resultados. De las 96 muestras analizadas, 13 resultaron contaminadas con T. gondii (13,5 %): nueve de agua cruda y cuatro de agua para el consumo directo. No se encontró asociación estadística entre las muestras positivas y los determinantes sociales de la salud evaluados (p>0,05).Conclusión. La población rural de Sincelejo podría estar en riesgo de contraer toxoplasmosis por el uso y consumo del agua proveniente de sus jagüeyes. La contaminación de estos cuerpos de agua por T. gondii puede estar influenciada por otros determinantes sociales de la salud no contemplados aquí.
Development of landscape conservation value map of Jeju island, Korea for integrative landscape management and planning using conservation value of landscape typology

Understanding landscape as a socio-ecological system where systematic interactions occur among diverse ecosystems and human society is necessary for a sustainable landscape and resource management. However, many countries with rapid economic growth, including South Korea, depend on conventional planning and policy decisions to meet increasing demands for the use of specific natural resources. Such resource-oriented planning and policy which neglect considerations for the surrounding landscape can result in conflicts of interest and regulation. We designed a landscape conservation value (LCV) map of Jeju Island, Korea to overcome rising managerial and policy issues with the provision of systematic perspectives of landscape. With a consideration for natural and human-modified characteristics of the landscape, we used landform and land cover data to create fundamental landscape types. Then, the LCV was assigned to each type by a board of landscape experts. Within a study region, we observed relatively high values in registered protected areas and unique landscapes, and areas where high and low values are aligned. The resultant LCV map can identify areas that potentially require an integrated approach to prevent adverse effects caused by a conventional approach.
Oyster farms are the main spawning grounds of the black sea bream Acanthopagrus schlegelii in Hiroshima Bay, Japan

Understanding the anthropogenic impact of oyster farms is essential for the management and conservation of marine fishes. In Japan, Hiroshima Bay is the region with the most intense oyster farming and thus suitable to study the impact of these farms. Here, we surveyed spherical planktonic eggs of the black sea bream Acanthopagrus schlegelii, one of the most abundant fish in the Bay. Our survey was performed at fourteen stations which included places with oyster farms and historical spawning grounds. We found the highest egg densities in four stations, one with historical spawning aggregations and three with major oyster farms. Besides, surveys at the innermost part of Hiroshima Bay, where two major rivers discharge, showed a low density of eggs indicating that black sea bream avoids spawning in low salinity areas. Our study suggests that oyster farms benefit spawners of black sea bream by providing more food sources than historical spawning grounds for efficient spawning. Yet, whether oyster farms represent a full advantage for the species remains unclear, particularly because they are known to host jellyfishes that prey on eggs and limit water flow that can influence the survival of fish eggs.

Staphylococcal mastitis (SM) is a frequent disease in the dairy cattle that is costly to treat. This study aimed to investigate the alterations in the levels of procalcitonin (PCT), neopterin (NPT), haptoglobin (HP), serum amyloid A (SAA), proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-8, TNF-α, IF-γ) and oxidative stress (OS) biomarkers in Holstein dairy cows with SM under field conditions. In addition, we also evaluated the role of examined biomarkers in disease pathogenesis and their use as diagnostic biomarkers for the disease in dairy cows. Fifty-three dairy cows with SM, including those with infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus (n = 42) and methicillin resistant S. aureus (MRSA) (n = 11) were selected for this study. In addition, 20 healthy dairy cows were enrolled as a control group. Higher serum levels of PCT, NP, IL-1β, IL-8, TNF-α, IF-γ, HP and SAA and a state of OS was detected in SM group in comparison with the controls. Moreover, the levels of all examined biomarkers in mastitic cows with S. aureus when compared with those infected with MRSA was not significantly different. All examined biomarkers demonstrated a significant degree of discrimination between SM cows and healthy controls (the area under the curve (AUC) ranged from 83.6 for SAA to 100 for PCT). Our study showed that SM in dairy cows was associated with substantial changes in serum PCT, NPT, Acute phase proteins (APPs), proinflammatory cytokines, and OS levels. This study demonstrates that clinical examination in tandem with quantification of PCT, NPT, APPs and cytokines, OS biomarkers could be a useful assessment tool for SM in dairy cows.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze noise experience and response to noise by patients and nursing staff in intensive care units (ICU).Methods: This study was a cross-sectional survey based on questionnaires administered to patients and staff in ICU to analyze the perceived noise level in the ICU environment, frequency of noise experience and noise level emitted by different sources, noise induced discomfort, response to noise, and the quality of sleep. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson's correlation coefficient.Results: Regarding the frequency of experience and noise levels emitted by various sources, patients carried the maximum number of human factors, and staff carried the highest number of medical devices or medical supplies. The quality of sleep caused by noise in patients was lower. Based on the correlation between the various variables, the higher the perceived noise level in the ICU environment, the higher the response to the noise (positive correlation) and the lower the quality of sleep (negative correlation).Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, a follow-up study is suggested to compare perceived noise levels of patients and staff. Practical strategies are needed to reduce noise based on noise levels and sources of noise experienced by ICU patients and staff.
