Authors: Ramphul Kamleshun , Ramphul Yogeshwaree , Sombans Shaheen , Lohana Petras , Joynauth Jyotsnav
Published: April 2021

The most recent reports published by the American Heart Association have confirmed that cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death among Americans and 42.6% of deaths attributable to cardiovascular disease were related to coronary heart disease (CHD) [1]. Prior studies have shown that the incidence [2] and mortality rate [3] of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) among young adults have not improved over the last few decades in the United States. However, there are very limited updated data on the most recent impact of AMI in that particular age group. We therefore queried data from the 2017 National (Nationwide) Inpatient Sample (NIS) database to provide an updated assessment of the burden of AMI in the United States among young adults.

Authors: T. Ha Edward , Cohen Marc , J. Peterson Stephen , Aronow Wilbert
Published: April 2021

Introduction

The effect of the type of left ventricular hypertrophy in patients presenting with an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) on long-term outcomes is ill-defined. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prognostic effect of concentric (CH) or eccentric hypertrophy (EH) on adverse outcomes in patients presenting with ACS undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Material and methods

We analyzed 1-year follow-up data from a single-institution, retrospective, observational study that enrolled 1,153 patients who presented with ACS and were treated with PCI, for whom echocardiographic data were available.

Results

Normal geometry was observed in 718 (62.3%) patients, while 27.2% had CH and 10.5% had EH. The primary endpoint of all-cause death (n = 90, 7.8%) occurred in 6.4%, 8.0%, and 14.9% of patients with no, concentric, or eccentric hypertrophy, respectively (p = 0.005). Major adverse cardiac events (MACE – all-cause death, non-fatal myocardial infarction or stroke or hospitalization for bleeding) occurred in 13.9%, 17.8%, 30.6%, respectively (p < 0.001). Age (HR per year = 1.04 (1.02, 1.05), p < 0.001), female gender (HR = 1.56 (1.12, 2.16), p = 0.008), diabetes (HR = 1.49 (1.07, 2.06), p = 0.02), eccentric hypertrophy (HR = 1.58 (1.006, 2.47), p = 0.047), peak troponin I (HR per 1 ng/ml = 1.004 (1.001, 1.006), p = 0.004) and left ventricular ejection fraction < 50% (HR = 1.57 (1.12, 2.20), p < 0.008) were significant predictors of MACE.

Conclusions

The presence of eccentric hypertrophy in ACS patients undergoing PCI is an independent predictor of adverse outcomes at 1 year.

Introduction

the world is currently facing the pandemic of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The total number of cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is rising daily and no vaccine has yet been approved. While the pathophysiology behind the virus is still being studied, many possible several risk factors using small sample sizes have been found.

Material and methods

We conducted a pooled analysis using several databases such as Medline, Scopus, Wangfang, Web of Science, Research Square, medrxiv, and Google Scholar to identify studies reporting severe and non-severe groups of COVID-19 patients. The odds ratios as well as the 95% confidence intervals for hypertension, diabetes, and cerebrovascular disease leading to severe COVID-19 were calculated using R-software.

Results

Fifty-three articles were used for our analysis and they involved 30,935 confirmed cases of COVID-19 from several countries across the world. The odds ratio for severe COVID-19 in hypertensive patients, diabetics, and patients with a history of cerebrovascular disease was 2.58 (95% confidence interval (CI): 2.16–3.08, from 53 studies), 2.17 (95% CI: 1.72–2.74, from 44 studies), and 2.63 (95% CI: 1.80–3.85, from 25 studies), respectively.

Conclusions

Our analysis confirms that patients with hypertension, diabetes, or cerebrovascular disease are at a higher risk of a severe outcome of COVID-19. It is thus vital for physicians to identify the main risk factors for a severe outcome of this disease.
Icariin interferes with TDP43-induced inflammatory factor secretion and inhibits the JNK and p38 MAPK signaling pathway in vitro

Published: April 2021

Introduction

To investigate the molecular mechanism of icariin (ICA) intervention in TDP-43 mediated chondrocyte lesions of osteoarthritis.

Material and methods

HC-α chondrocytes were transfected with TDP-43 lentiviruses to generate TDP-43-overexpressing chondrocytes and treated with 5 μg/mL icariin. The level of TDP-43, JNK, p38 MAPK and relative factors were detected by Western blotting assays. TNF-α and IL-1β in the supernatant were determined by ELISA.

Results

Compared with the HC-α group, TDP-43 expression was significantly increased in the TDP-43-HC-α group and was not significantly different that of the HC-α+ICA group. However, TDP-43 expression in the TDP-43-HC-α+ICA group was significantly lower than that in the TDP-43-HC-α group. ELISA showed that the secretion of TNF-α and IL-1β in the supernatant of the TDP-43-HC-α group was significantly increased (P<0.01) compared with the HC-α group, but was significantly lower in the supernatant of the TDP-43-HC-α+ICA group than that of the TDP-43-HC-α group (P<0.01). ICA treatment reduced the expression of TDP-43 in chondrocytes and inhibited the elevation of inflammatory cytokines caused by TDP-43. ICA processing can also inhibit the activation of JNK/p38 MAPK related signaling pathways caused by TDP-43. Overexpression of TDP-43 reduced the formation of stress granules (SGs)in chondrocytes, and increased receptor for activated protein kinase C1 (RACK1) level. ICA could reverse these changes.

Conclusions

Icariin could interfere with TDP-43-induced secretion of inflammatory factors, inhibit JNK/p38 MAPK signaling. Our findings provided a new theoretical basis for the treatment of osteoarthritis.

Published: April 2021

Introduction

Systemic sclerosis/scleroderma (SSc) is a chronic autoimmune disease with connective tissue, multi-organ, and multisystem involvement. The disease has three main characteristics, namely vasculopathy, fibrosis, and autoimmunity. The effect of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) in aerobic exercise on other rheumatic diseases has been studied, for example in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). The purpose of this work is to investigate the effectiveness of HIIT of aerobics exercise on improving the inspiratory muscle, quality of life and functional ability for systemic sclerosis subjects.

Material and methods

The study was conducted on patients with confirmed systemic sclerosis who met the inclusion criteria. The research was carried out for 12 months in the outpatient clinic and gait laboratory of the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.

Results

After HIIT in aerobic exercise, we found significant changes in inspiratory muscle (SNIP values 45.67 [30.92] vs. 54.25 [22.71]), handgrip (13.14 [4.42] vs. 15.63 [4.08]), walking speed (184.70 [26.86] vs. 246.6 [12.30]), metabolic equivalent (3.53 [0.30] vs. 4.21 [1.25]) and Scleroderma-Specific Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index for all visual analog scale (VAS) domains except Disability Index. Exercise approaches are characterized by repeated cycles of exercise interrupted by rest. For a range of clinical conditions, HIIT in aerobic exercise is known to remedy blood vessel function.

Conclusions

Our results suggest that HIIT in aerobic exercise has improved functional ability, respiratory muscle strength, and quality of life in SSc subjects. Training twice a week in a 12-week HIIT program is considered to be safe for this population. We have to consider internal and external factors that influenced the result. A larger sample and further exploration of the feasibility of combined exercise in SSc patients should be the focus for future research.

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a rare autoimmune disease in which antibodies bind to acetylcholine receptors in the postsynaptic membrane at the neuromuscular junction. Muscle-specific kinase (MuSK) antibody-associated MG patients often have severe symptoms, including bulbar dysfunction, respiratory insufficiency, and atrophy of the facial and tongue muscles. Due to its fluctuating nature and the similarity to the symptoms other disorders MG is one of the most challenging medical diagnoses.Fluctuating character and the similarity of symptoms to those of other disorders make MG one of the most challenging medical diagnoses. Initial misdiagnosis of MuSK-MG can lead to worsening of symptoms. The diagnosis is confirmed by positive results on pharmacological testing, electrodiagnostictesting and serum antibodyassay. Symptomatic, immunoactive, and supportive approaches to therapy have very good effect and the prognosis is improved with precocious interventions.

Authors: MAHMOOD Waleed , AVŞAR Ercan
Published: April 2021

With the rapid spread of urbanization, competent authorities become increasingly anxious from air pollution risks and effect on citizens especially those with respiratory diseases. In this work, performances of six machine learning methods were analyzed for prediction of maximum ozone (O_3) concentration for the next-day. The models make the prediction using concentrations of six atmospheric components (PM2.5, PM10, Ozone (O3), Sulfur Dioxide (SO2), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), and Carbon Monoxide (CO)). The utilized machine learning methods are multilayer perception (MLP), Support Vector Regression (SVM), k-Nearest Neighbor (K-NN), Random Forests (RF), Gradient Boosting (GB), and Elastic Net (EN). After the predictions made by these models, the predicted values were further processed to be classified into one of the six air quality levels defined by United States Environmental Protection Agency. The prediction performances of the models as well as their corresponding classification results were analyzed. It was shown that MLP model gives the lowest RMSE of 2246 for prediction step while SVR achieved the highest accuracy score of 0.790.
Some Results on Palette Index of Cartesian Product Graphs
Authors:   Yerevan State University, Smbatyan Khachik
Published: April 2021

Given a proper edge coloring α of a graph G, we define the palette SG(ν, α) of a vertex ν ∈ V (G) as the set of all colors appearing on edges incident to ν. The palette index š(G) of G is the minimum number of distinct palettes occurring in a proper edge coloring of G. The windmill graph Wd(n, k) is an undirected graph constructed for k ≥ 2 and n ≥ 2 by joining n copies of the complete graph Kk at a shared universal vertex. In this paper, we determine the bound on the palette index of Cartesian products of complete graphs and simple paths. We also consider the problem of determining the palette index of windmill graphs. In particular, we show that for any positive integers n, k ≥ 2, š(Wd(n, 2k)) = n + 1.

Published: April 2021

This research aims to analyze the current strategic position of STAI in Kota Lubuklinggau, South Sumatra, Indonesia, and its development in the future. This research methodology uses a SWOT analysis of the total population and a sample of 13 respondents who come from the leadership elements of STAI. The results showed that STAI was an Islamic Religious College founded by the local government of Kota Lubuklinggau and Musirawas Regency, and the initiative of Lubuklinggau and Regency figures at that time. During the 26 years of existence, many changes have been seen based on data described in the external environment and the internal environment. The current strategic position of STAI is in the quadrant (IA), which is a stabilization growth strategy, which means that STAI can only grow according to its capabilities, even though business opportunities are still available. In other words, STAI growth cannot be drastic (fast), but rather gradual. So there is almost certainly a relatively greater chance of being exploited by competitors. Therefore, STAI must maximize its current strengths by identifying and then using it to seize opportunities by improving building facilities and infrastructure and public facilities and the quality of available lecturers so that they are not taken by other universities in Lubuklinggau City.

Published: April 2021

Os conflitos surgem diariamente no ambiente profissional devido a necessidade de comunicação e relacionamento entre as pessoas. Inúmeros fatores afetam o tipo do conflito, tais como as diferenças de opiniões, personalidades e etnia. Os conflitos impactam significativamente os resultados da organização, e assim, a gestão de conflitos nas relações de trabalho devem ser estudadas. Diante disso, o presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar os principais estudos sobre a gestão de conflitos nas relações de trabalho para auxiliar na escolha da melhor forma de resolve-los em situações intraorganizacionais. A metodologia do estudo foi baseada numa busca científica aleatória contendo os seguintes parâmetros de pesquisa: “gestão de conflitos”, “relações sociais”, “tipos de conflitos” e “novos modelos de gestão de conflitos”. A busca resultou em 17 itens que foram analisados para a construção da revisão. Os resultados apontam que os métodos de solução de conflitos podem ser valiosos para as empresas. Existe a necessidade de conscientizar as organizações e buscar conhecimentos para gerir as controvérsias de forma mais eficiente, buscando diminuir as consequências geradas pelo conflito. Por outro lado, a existência do conflito no ambiente organizacional pode permitir que as empresas sobrevivam e evoluam, não o eliminando, mas buscando responde-lo de forma construtiva. Portanto, não existe uma solução universal de conduzir a gestão de conflitos, mas com um gerenciamento adequado, as empresas podem obter melhor aproveitamento de seu capital humano, favorecendo o desenvolvimento empresarial.

Published: April 2021

A investigação defensiva é um tema pouco debatido no direito brasileiro. Apesar de haver muita controvérsia, o presente artigo faz uma abordagem sobre as categorias de investigação, além de desvendar o tratamento que é dado à investigação defensiva na Itália e nos Estados Unidos. O objetivo geral deste trabalho é destacar a importância da investigação defensiva para o equilíbrio processual penal. Os objetivos específicos deste artigo são os seguintes: apresentar a conceituação fundamental relativa à investigação defensiva; comentar sobre a natureza da investigação defensiva; classificar as categorias de investigação; discorrer sobre a investigação defensiva na Itália e nos Estados Unidos; ressaltar a necessidade da investigação defensiva no Brasil; observar o objeto e momento da investigação defensiva. Os procedimentos metodológicos aplicados nesta análise são de cunho bibliográfico e se baseiam em pesquisas na doutrina, jurisdição em livros e leis específicas. A investigação autônoma realizada pelo advogado e defensor público, neste trabalho, procura dar ênfase ao direito da defesa e a um processo justo, assim como a paridade de armas. Direciona-se aos princípios da igualdade e da ampla defesa auferindo os elementos de convicção favoráveis ao acusado, considerando o direito fundamental de todos. A investigação defensiva é benéfica não só ao acusado, mas a toda a sociedade que clama por justiça. A Ordem dos Advogados do Brasil – OAB, com o provimento em estudo, pretende fortalecer a defesa, para que haja equidade e equilíbrio no processo, ou seja, garantir a paridade de armas às partes, tal como deve ser.

Este artigo tem por objetivo compreender – em uma perspectiva interdisciplinar, articulando a Geografia com outras áreas do saber, especialmente com a História – a organização socioespacial da prostituição feminina na cidade de Planaltina (Distrito Federal, Brasil) nos anos de 1998 e 1999. Entre as principais áreas de prostituição feminina identificadas no Distrito Federal (Brasil), a cidade-satélite de Planaltina destacava-se por apresentar uma prostituição feminina do tipo tradicional ou “clássica”, voltada para o atendimento em casas de prostituição/bares. A metodologia adotada, constituiu-se em uma abordagem predominantemente qualitativa. Foi possível, através de observação e entrevistas, caracterizar a prostituição feminina da cidade, e identificar a ocorrência de uma intervenção institucional sobre o território de prostituição que impactou nas atividades das mulheres que ali atuavam. A partir deste estudo, foi possível compreender que as prostitutas possuem grande capacidade de adequar-se às cidades, tornando pouco eficazes as intervenções estatais forçadas e que não consideram os interesses do grupo. Com isso, busca-se estimular a superação da visão do território de prostituição "per si", para vislumbrá-la como um local de vida e sentimentos.
PERSPECTIVAS DO NOVO CONSTITUCIONALISMO ANDINO: PLURALISMO E BUEN VIVIR

Published: April 2021

O objeto deste estudo consiste em analisar as perspectivas do Novo Constitucionalismo Andino no que diz respeito ao reconhecimento de suas culturas plurinacionais e da concepção do Buen Vivir (Viver Bem) como uma alternativa de compreender a vida na terra. A justificativa do tema se dá pela importância em se discutir os impactos causados pela colonização na América Latina frente ao advento do Novo Constitucionalismo Andino e a necessidade de se repensar o Direito sob o viés Decolonial. O antropocentrismo transmitido durante os séculos de colonização europeia se rompe com o início de décadas de lutas sociais na América Latina que resultaram no surgimento de um movimento constitucionalista de caráter libertador, tendo em particular atenção às novas transformações constitucionais dos países da Bolívia e Equador. Os objetivos compreendem a análise do surgimento do Novo Constitucionalismo Andino e as perspectivas do Pluralismo e do Buen Vivir frente aos impactos da colonização da América Latina. A metodologia do estudo foi realizada por meio de artigos jurídicos, doutrina, revistas jurídicas e normas constitucionais. Portanto, inserir no texto constitucional preceitos filosóficos dos povos originários, que prezavam pela harmonia com a natureza, abre para o direito internacional a possibilidade de diálogo a respeito da necessidade de repensar os modelos e padrões de vida impostos.

En el Ecuador, la carne de cerdo es un producto de la canasta básica de todos los hogares; muchas empresas del ámbito comercial se dedican al expendio, sobre todo PYMEs, que se constituyen en la principal vía de distribución del producto cárnico. La merma en la carne de cerdo, se debe a su naturaleza biológica, la misma puede darse por deshidratación, cuando se evapora o por goteo de fluidos de la carne; así como en el proceso tradicional de despiece y limpieza de las partes del cuerpo del animal que son comercializadas y las más solicitadas requieren que se retire la piel, tejido adiposo, huesos, entre otros tejidos que terminan mermando el peso total para su venta. Se utilizó una metodología inductiva y partiendo de premisas generales, se procedió a realizar una revisión de la normativa de contabilidad internacional NIC2, que contiene el tratamiento de los activos biológicos y la merma de ellos en los registros de costos e inventarios. Además, se realizó una recolección de datos en una población infinita o desconocida contentiva de todas las pequeñas y medianas empresas dedicadas a la comercialización de carne de cerdo en la ciudad de Guayaquil, realizando un muestreo no probabilístico por disponibilidad, llegando a aplicar un cuestionario de preguntas cerradas en 22 empresas de la ciudad, dedicadas a la venta de carne de cerdo, para evidenciar el tratamiento contable que le están dando en la actualidad e indicar que debe ser registrada como un costo de producción.

Diagnosis of anxiety and depressive disorders in general medical practice is a very important problem of modern medicine. This review article provides basic information about the epidemiology and economic burden of anxiety-depressive disorders, their comorbidity with other mental and somatic diseases, and the connection with suicidal behavior. According to the Decree of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Belarus dated 02.03.2020 № 13 «On approval of the clinical protocol» «Diagnosis and treatment of patients with mental and behavioral disorders by general practitioners», this article focuses on depression, generalized anxiety, panic, mixed anxiety and depressive disorder in general medical practice. Relevant issues of low quality diagnosis of anxiety and depressive disorders are identified, which are associated both with the complexity of the clinical picture of the diseases in question and with organizational problems. Particular attention is also paid to the need for further integration of psychiatric care into general medical practice while increasing its accessibility and quality. For this, it is necessary to continue studying the best practices of foreign countries in which family and general practitioners have been providing psychiatric care to patients for many years.

Abstract. Aerosolized black carbon is monitored worldwide to quantify its impact on air quality and climate. Given its importance, measurements of black carbon mass concentrations must be conducted with instruments operating in quality-checked and ensured conditions to generate data which are reliable and comparable temporally and geographically. In this study, we report the results from the largest characterization and
intercomparison of filter-based absorption photometers, the Aethalometer model AE33, belonging to several European monitoring networks. Under controlled laboratory conditions, a total of 23 instruments measured mass
concentrations of black carbon from three well-characterized aerosol
sources: synthetic soot, nigrosin particles, and ambient air from the urban
background of Leipzig, Germany. The objective was to investigate the
individual performance of the instruments and their comparability; we
analyzed the response of the instruments to the different aerosol sources
and the impact caused by the use of obsolete filter materials and the
application of maintenance activities. Differences in the instrument-to-instrument variabilities from equivalent black carbon (eBC) concentrations reported at 880 nm were determined before maintenance
activities (for soot measurements, average deviation from total least square regression was −2.0 % and the range −16 % to 7 %; for nigrosin measurements, average deviation was 0.4 % and the range −15 % to 17 %), and after they were carried out (for soot measurements, average deviation was −1.0 % and the range −14 % to 8 %; for nigrosin measurements, the average deviation was 0.5 % and the range −12 % to 15 %). The deviations are in most of the cases explained by the type of filter material employed by the instruments, the total particle load on the filter, and the flow calibration. The results of this intercomparison activity show that relatively small
unit-to-unit variability of AE33-based particle light absorbing measurements is possible with well-maintained instruments. It is crucial to follow the guidelines for maintenance activities and the use of the proper filter tape in the AE33 to ensure high quality and comparable black carbon (BC) measurements among international observational networks.

Abstract. Small, shallow lakes represent the majority of inland freshwater bodies. However, the effects of climate change on such ecosystems have rarely been quantitatively addressed. We propose a methodology to evaluate the thermal response of small, shallow lakes to long-term changes in the meteorological conditions through model simulations. To do so, a 3D thermal-hydrodynamic model is forced with meteorological data and used to hindcast the evolution of an urban lake in the Paris region between 1960 and 2017. Its thermal response is assessed through a series of indices describing its thermal regime in terms of water temperature, thermal stratification, and potential cyanobacteria production. These indices and the meteorological forcing are first analysed over time to test the presence of long-term monotonic trends. 3D simulations are then exploited to highlight the presence of spatial heterogeneity. The analyses show that climate change has strongly impacted the thermal regime of the study site. Its response is highly correlated with three meteorological variables: air temperature, solar radiation, and wind speed. Mean annual water temperature shows a considerable warming trend of 0.6 ∘C per decade, accompanied by longer stratification and by an increase in thermal energy favourable to cyanobacteria proliferation. The strengthening of thermal conditions favourable for cyanobacteria is particularly strong during spring and summer, while stratification increases especially during spring and autumn. The 3D analysis allows us to detect a sharp separation between deeper and shallower portions of the basin in terms of stratification dynamics and potential cyanobacteria production. This induces highly dynamic patterns in space and time within the study site that are particularly favourable to cyanobacteria growth and bloom initiation.

Abstract. Because of the alkaline nature and high calcium content of cements
in general, they serve as a CO2-absorbing agent through carbonation
processes, resembling silicate weathering in nature. This carbon uptake
capacity of cements could abate some of the CO2 emitted during their
production. Given the scale of cement production worldwide (4.10 Gt in
2019), a life-cycle assessment is necessary to determine the actual net
carbon impacts of this industry. We adopted a comprehensive analytical model
to estimate the amount of CO2 that had been absorbed from 1930 to 2019
in four types of cement materials, including concrete, mortar, construction
waste, and cement kiln dust (CKD). In addition, the process CO2 emission
during the same period based on the same datasets was also estimated. The
results show that 21.02 Gt CO2 (95 % confidence interval, CI: 18.01–24.41 Gt CO2) had
been absorbed in the cements produced from 1930 to 2019, with the 2019
annual figure mounting up to 0.89 Gt CO2 yr−1 (95 % CI: 0.76–1.06 Gt CO2). The cumulative uptake is equivalent to approximately 55 %
of the process emission based on our estimation. In particular, China's
dominant position in cement production or consumption in recent decades also
gives rise to its uptake being the greatest, with a cumulative sink of 6.21 Gt CO2 (95 % CI: 4.59–8.32 Gt CO2) since 1930. Among the four
types of cement materials, mortar is estimated to be the greatest
contributor (approximately 59 %) to the total uptake. Potentially, our cement
emission and uptake estimation system can be updated annually and modified
when necessary for future low-carbon transitions in the cement industry. All

analysis results, are accessible at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4459729
