Published: October 2021

Undoubtedly, the outbreak of COVID-19 still represents an overanxious event for both society and population. The fear of getting infected is ubiquitous in the time of the pandemic. The population presented worrying thoughts related to the fact that the health care system was not able to provide enough services during the COVID-19 pandemic. The number of the hospital beds and ventilators was insufficient in order to ensure enough care, considering the increased number of COVID-19 cases that were admitted to the hospitals. Furthermore, people were fearful about the possibility of the global economy becoming decimated. The fright and also the feelings of anxiety related to the COVID-19 pandemic can become overpowering and create negative psychological states. In addition, mental health can be affected and influenced during outbreaks of infectious diseases and can be related to the misconception of symptoms, for example perception related phenomenon and corporal modifications. The population that could experiment these feelings, could instantly relate them to the coronavirus infection and express furthermore unpleasant sensations, in connection to more expressed anxiety and fear. Particularly affected were the healthcare workers of the medical system, who were the main combatants in this pandemic. The neuropsychological problems were difficult to avoid by the general population and this became even more difficult to be dealt with by the medical personnel.

The gastrointestinal microbiome contains at least 100 trillion microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, fungi), whose distribution varies from the mouth to the rectum spatially and temporally throughout one's lifetime. The microbiome benefits from advancing research due to its major role in human health. Studies indicate that its functions are immunity, metabolic processes and mucosal barrier. The disturbances of these functions, dysbiosis, influence physiology, lead to diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, obesity and colon tumorigenesis. The third most common form of cancer, colorectal cancer, is the result of many factors and genes, and although the link between dysbiosis and this type of cancer is poorly characterized, it has been shown that some bacterial species and their metabolites have a critical role in developing colorectal cancer. Also, gut microbiota plays a role in the inflammatory response and immune process perturbations during the progression of colorectal cancer. Some new technologies, such as metagenome sequencing, facilitated the progress by analyzing the metabolic and genetic profile of microbiota, revealing details about the bacterial composition, host interactions, and taxonomic alterations. This review summarizes the studies regarding the link between gut microbiota and colorectal cancer, targeting new therapeutic strategies.

Alternative splicing (AS) within the β-cell has been proposed as one potential pathway that may exacerbate autoimmunity and unveil novel immunogenic epitopes in type 1 diabetes (T1D). We used a computational strategy to prioritize pathogenic splicing events in human islets treated with interleukin-1β plus interferon-γ as an ex vivo model of T1D and coupled this analysis with a k-mer–based approach to predict RNA-binding proteins involved in AS. In total, 969 AS events were identified in cytokine-treated islets, with a majority (44.8%) involving a skipped exon. ExonImpact identified 129 events predicted to affect protein structure. AS occurred with high frequency in MHC class II–related mRNAs, and targeted quantitative PCR validated reduced inclusion of exon 5 in the MHC class II gene HLA-DMB. Single-molecule RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization confirmed increased HLA-DMB splicing in β-cells from human donors with established T1D and autoantibody positivity. Serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 2 was implicated in 37.2% of potentially pathogenic events, including exon 5 exclusion in HLA-DMB. Together, these data suggest that dynamic control of AS plays a role in the β-cell response to inflammatory signals during T1D evolution.

OBJECTIVE

To investigate the occupational and financial consequences for parents following the onset of type 1 diabetes in their child.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

A questionnaire assessing occupational and financial situations before and in the first year after the onset of diabetes was distributed to all families with a child ≤14 years of age at diagnosis with a diabetes duration of at least 12 months in nine German pediatric diabetes centers.

RESULTS

Data of 1,144 children (mean age at diagnosis 6.7 [3.6] years; 46.5% female) and their families were obtained. Mothers’ occupational status reflected in paid working hours was significantly reduced in the first year after their child's diabetes diagnosis (P < 0.001). Overall, 15.1% of mothers stopped working, and 11.5% reduced working hours. Mothers of preschool children were particularly affected. Fathers’ working status hardly changed (P = 0.75). Nearly half of the families (46.4%) reported moderate to severe financial losses. Compared with an earlier similar study in 2003, significant negative occupational consequences for mothers and financial burden on families remained unchanged in 2018 (P = 0.59 and 0.31, respectively).

CONCLUSIONS

Mothers of young children with newly diagnosed diabetes experienced negative consequences in their occupational situation. This inequality for mothers can have long-term negative consequences for their mental health and future economic situation. There is an urgent need for action to reduce the burden on families and to provide professional, social, and regulatory support, especially for mothers of young children with diabetes.

Definitions and forms of interaction of legal entities in the aspect of constitutional economics
Authors: Prykhodko O.V.
Published: October 2021

The article investigates the problem of interaction of subjects of economic relations in the aspect of constitutional economics, which is relevant for both legal science and practice.It is noted that in scientific doctrine there are different interpretations of the term interaction. Various scientists emphasize the specificities of an interaction as a certain process andprovide their own definitions of interaction. Given that the subject of this study is constitutional economics, the author’s definition is proposed.It is important to highlight, that if an economic relationshipinvolves a group of subjects endowed with state functions, on the one hand,and private entities, on the other,then their interaction is designed to satisfy both public and private interests. The participants are in a horizontal relationship with each other, not in a relationship of power and subordination. The interaction of governmental and non-governmental actors is aimed at achieving a clearly defined goal, including the establishment or change of legal regulation of certain economic relations, achieving certain economic results, implementing economic reforms, solving socio-economic problems, etc. 

Taking the Ukrainian legal reality into consideration, it is proposed to analyse some forms of interaction within the domestic economy, which are actively used in our country. Thus, it is noted that a common form of interaction between government and business is the creation of advisory bodies and working groups, which include both representatives of public authorities, civil society and business.It is noted that lobbying is a common form of public-private cooperation in the world, but there is no legislation on lobbying in Ukraine, and bills registered in parliament are characterised by significant shortcomings.One of the most successful models of interaction between government and business is public-private partnership, which helps to achieve synergies and implement large-scale projects in various sectors of the economy, including social, from road construction to space exploration.The social responsibility of entrepreneurs is also mentioned as a form of constructive interaction between government and business.
Legal thinking as a phenomenon of legal reality and its correlation with legal cognition
Authors: Borshchevsʹkyy I.V. , Hrynʹ O.D.
Published: October 2021

The article analyzes legal thinking, which is the core of the intellectual component of legal cognition and is a special kind of spiritual-practical and cognitive-evaluative intellectual operations aimed at setting certain tasks and solving problems in the legal sphere. Approaches to the definition of the categories «legal thinking» and «legal cognition» in the theory of law are considered, and their definitions and interconnection are presented, taking into account their features and characteristics. The point of view is substantiated that the essence of legal thinking can be viewed through the prism of the functions of this phenomenon of legal reality. A list of signs of legal thinking and their functions is provided. The opinion is argued that the process of cognition of the world of law and its individual aspects begins with sensations, perceptions and ideas, but this picture does not allow to deeply and comprehensively identify it. With the help of thinking, an individual discovers the relationship between objects, events and phenomena, finds out the causes and consequences of this interaction, and can also draw conclusions that will later provide a broader understanding of the essential features of individual legal phenomena. Thinking is viewed from the position of a superstructure over feelings and perceptions, which helps to discover new sides of phenomena and various objects of legal cognition.The opinion is given that legal knowledge in the process of legal activity acts as a creative process that bears the imprint of the personality of a lawyer. So, thinking by its nature is a creative process, it takes place when the law enforcement officer uses the opportunity to choose the rule of law to be applied in a particular case.At the general theoretical level, legal knowledge is defined as a scientific and non-scientific, intellectual creative process of obtaining and interpreting socially significant information mediated by law and cultural and historical factors, is carried out by an individual or collective subject, and is also focused on the possession of reliable information about law in all its forms and legal environment , in their interaction with the aim of resolving a legal problem and their further use in accordance with their social functions and personal interests.
Conciliation agreement in the Roman law (sociocultural context)
Authors: Vovk V.
Published: October 2021

The article provides insight into the content of the conciliation agreement as an alternative to settle the legal disputes based on the analysis of the key strategic foundations of the Quirite culture and provisions of the law of Ancient Rome. A special emphasis is placed on the fact that the extrajudicial, pre-judicial, and in some cases in-tra-judicial methods of the settlement of legal disputes are nowadays given a high status in the legal environment that confirms the general tendency to the humanization and democratization of the judicial proceedings. The article substantiates the necessity of going back to the historical context of appearance and formation of the conciliation agreement as a legal institute to improve the understanding of the nature and mechanism of this alternative method of dispute settlement, since the Roman law was and still is a foundation of modern legal systems of the European states. The stages of the development of conciliation agreement as an alternative method of dispute settlement were studied against the background of the culture of Ancient Rome and the main characteristic features of this institute were addressed, mainly: voluntary involvement (the parties pass a voluntary decision on reconciliation), alternativeness (the parties have to choose between the judicial, extra-judicial and pre-judicial dispute settlement), uncertainty (of the party or the party to the dispute is uncertain about the court decision in its favor), compromise (reaching an agreement, the parties arrive at a compromise in certain issues). In this case, it is emphasized that initially to settle the dispute extrajudicially, the Romans did not need any third parties (mediators). Following from the article, the conciliation agreement in the Roman law has formed as a contract, i.e. at its initial stage, it was the material law institute (contract) with the procedural consequences. Within the national sociocultural context, the application of conciliation agreement as an alternative method of dispute settlement is a way of searching for the new efficient methods of settlement of inter-individual relations. The research methodology is represented by a set of philosophical and general scientific methods. Determinants of which are comparative and hermeneutic, as well as socio-cultural and axiological approaches

But this method is not widely used because of the limited computing capabilities of the engineering programs dedicated to static load analyses and difficulties in interpreting the results of the computations. The commonly used computer programs enable one to determine the shape of buckling and critical load amplifier αcr

This paper presents a modified and innovative approach to the general method of assessing structural stability, which uses only three parameters, that is, the type of cross section, cross-section strength utilisation and αcr

Published: October 2021

One of the future technologies for a safe hydrogen storage media is  metal hydrides. Currently, Mg-based metal hydride has a safety factor and efficient for vehicle applications. However, the thermodynamic properties of magnesium hydride (MgH2) found a relatively high temperature. High desorption temperatures caused MgH2 high thermodynamic stability resulting desorption enthalpy is also high. In this study, natural mineral (iron ore) has been extracted from iron sand into powder of magnetite (Fe3O4) and used as a catalyst in an effort to improve the desorption properties of MgH2. Magnetie has been successfully extracted from iron sand using precipitation method with a purity of 85 % , where the purity of the iron sand before extracted was 81%. Then, MgH2-Fe3O4 was milling using mechanical alloying method with a variety of catalysts and milling time. The observation by XRD showed the material was reduced to nanocrystalline scale. MgH2 phase appears as the main phase. DSC test results showed with the addition of Fe3O4, the desorption temperature can be reduced up to 366oC, compared to pure pure MgH2 reached by 409o C. Furthermore, based on gravimetric test, the hydrogen release occurs at a temperature of 388o C, weight loss  of 0.66 mg during 16 minutes.

Tourism is one of the primary sectors that is expected to increase the regional government income. Therefore there is a need to observe the factors that affect the successfulness of tourism factors and products offered. Tourism products can be tourist destinations, where the characteristics of that particular destination can affect the decisions made by the tourist to return the place again. The characteristics of tourism in Aceh can be analyzed by using biplot analysis. Meanwhile, the effects of tourism characteristics on the number of tourists in Aceh from the year 2008 until 2013 is analyzed using panel data regression analysis that is approached by Fixed Effext Model (FEM). Based on the biplot graph, the cities that are superior in their number of all tourism products are Sabang and Banda Aceh. Cities other than these two cities tend to have a lower number of their tourism products. The biplot graph can explain the relationship between the variables of tourism products by 83.8%. Based on the model of fixed effect panel data, Aceh tourism products that affect the number of tourists in Aceh is the number of accommodations, restaurants, and tourist attractions. Fixed effect model explain correlation between the variables of tourism products to the number of tourists in Aceh by 78.8%.
PERFIL PSICOLÓGICO DE AUXILIARES DE DESENVOLVIMENTO INFANTIL COM ESTRESSE EM UMA ESCOLA PÚBLICA NO INTERIOR PAULISTA
Authors: RODRIGUES Isadora Moraes , SANTOS Alexandre dos
Published: October 2021

O termo estresse ou stress surgiu na física, mas atualmente pode ser definido como um desgaste geral do organismo devido à vivência de situações que despertam reações adversas, positivas ou negativas e vale destacar que atualmente há dados preocupantes sobre os níveis de estresse, principalmente, entre o sexo feminino, que apresenta uma frequência 59% maior se comparada ao sexo masculino. Com isso, o presente estudo teve como objetivo investigar em auxiliares de desenvolvimento infantil sintomas de estresse e também seu perfil psicológico à luz da psicanálise. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, cujo procedimento envolveu a aplicação de um Questionário Sociodemográfico, juntamente com o Inventário de Sintomas de Stress para Adultos de Lipp (ISSL). Nas auxiliares que foram identificados traços de estresse, na fase de resistência, foi realizada uma entrevista estruturada para identificar seus traços psicológicos, através da análise de discurso, método proposto por Liberman. Com isso, pode-se observar que as auxiliares que apresentaram sintomas de estresse na fase de resistência apresentaram também, segundo o método de análise de discurso, um perfil psicológico típico da fase oral secundária, característico de pessoas emocionalmente imaturas, com uma estrutura egoica desprovida de recursos para lidar com estressores da vida cotidiana.
 
PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE OF CHILDCARE ASSISTANTS WITH STRESS IN A PUBLIC SCHOOL IN PAULISTA COUNTRYSIDE
 
ABSTRACT
The term stress appeared in physics, but it may currently be defined as a general fatigue of the organism resulting from the experience of situations that trigger adverse reactions, either positive or negative, it is worth noting that there are currently alarming data on the levels of stress, especially among women, who report a 59% higher frequency when compared to men. Hence, the present study aimed to investigate the childcare assistant symptoms of stress and their psychological profile in the light of psychoanalysis. This qualitative research involved the application of a Sociodemographic Questionnaire, as well as Lipp's Stress Symptom Inventory for Adults (ISSL). The assistants who were identified any traits of stress in the resistance phase, a structured interview was conducted to identify their psychological traits, through discourse analysis, a method proposed by Liberman. According to the discourse analysis method, it can be observed that the assistants who presented stress symptoms in the resistance phase also presented a typical psychological profile of the secondary oral phase, a characteristic from people who are emotionally immature, who have an ego-structure that is deprived of resources to cope with the stressors of daily life.

Purpose. The article analyzes assessment methods of existing fire extinguishing agent (FEA) jet ballistics. FEA discharge velocity from the nozzle effect on FEA drops in the air motion and trajectory has been investigated. Applying a new method for calculating FEA jets ballistics has been grounded. With the help of mathematical modeling, calculations have been carried out for FEA flow rate indicators depending on the pressure and flow rate for a universal nozzle, which forms different jet discharge angles from solid to spray. A model has been developed that describes FEA jet ballistics for both universal and conical or conoid fire nozzles. Methods. A logical method based on forces influence on a water drop in a medium has been used, as well as an empirical method, i.e. experiment. Findings. To confirm the developed jet ballistics theory, a series of field tests has been carried out. A fire monitor with a universal nozzle has been used as a test unit under the following conditions: equivalent diameter 29 mm; pressure in front of the nozzle 0.6 MPa; flow rate at the outlet 35 m/s (calculated by numerical simulation); nozzle inclination angle in relation to horizon 30°; nozzle cutting height from the horizon 1 m. The discrepancy in the indices of calculated and experimental jet range did not exceed 3 %. An insignificant effect of medium density change on jet range capability has been revealed, that is, under the same initial conditions, but at different ambient temperatures, fire extinguishing agent jet range capability will differ. This should be taken into account when using fire extinguishing installations based on monitors in different climatic regions. Research application field. The research results will simplify nozzle fire equipment development and design process, algorithm construction for robotic fire extinguishing installations operation based on fire monitors. Conclusions. The developed method for calculating jet ballistics is fully correlated with in-situ indicators. Jet ballistics is highly effected by fire extinguishing agents nozzle discharge velocity and medium density in which the fire extinguishing agent is flowing. In the future, it is required to conduct a number of scientific studies to determine extinguishing agent discharge velocity from various nozzles dependences on pressure and consumption.

Published: October 2021

Purpose. The article analyzes the studies devoted to the use of personal respiratory and eye protection equipment by firefighters during fire suppression at power facilities. The authors propose a method that will ensure the continuity of actions to suppress a fire in contaminated environments that are immediately dangerous to life and health (IDLH) with the help of a constant supply of air from a safe area directly to the breathing apparatus. Methods. Based on the analysis of statistical data, the authors determine the frequency of using personal respiratory and eye protection equipment types at power facilities and dependencies of firefighting duration on the distance travelled to the heart of a fire. Findings. It was identified that in most cases, compressed air breathing apparatus (CABA) were used to suppress extra-period fires at power facilities. It was also determined that the total operating time of smoke diving squads in case of fires at power facilities at 260 and 300 atm pressure in compressed air cylinders includes: 1) travelling a distance to the heart of a fire and back; 2) suppressing a fire. The authors propose a method of combined action of a compressor and a self-contained breathing apparatus with compressed air that will increase the time of work of firefighters equipped with CABAs. Such a necessity may be caused by cases when the required time ofwork in IDLH environments exceeds the time of the protective CABA operation. Research application field. The study results make a significant adaptation of methods and the development of technical means necessary to solve problems of continuous fire suppression using personal respiratory and eye protection equipment. Conclusions. The authors propose a method to ensure the work continuity in IDLH environments by supplying air into a breathing apparatus from a safe area. In order to achieve the final result of the presented method, it is necessary to conduct a number of studies that includes: justification of the air compressor type and auxiliary devices; calculation of the required air volume in the manifold; analysis of permissible distances for steady device operation; investigation of the device operation effect on the convenience of movement of firefighters and on their physical condition.

In this regard, it is necessary to analyze the operational situation, simulate the conditions in which fire and rescue units operate, and then take into account the obtained results when making recommendations for fire and rescue units reorganization of towns and regions on the proposed territories. Methods. To achieve the objectives stated above applying mathematical and statistical models, the emergence process of events including fires, traffic accidents, emergencies has been described. Findings. The detailed analysis of the current operational situation on the studied territories with high engagement level of fire and rescue units has been carried out. Applying probabilistic-statistical modeling, it has been found that the emergence process of destructive events comply with Poisson’s distribution with the corresponding parameter. Research application field. The obtained results will make it possible to develop recommendations on reorganizing and improving fire protection of towns on the studied territories. Conclusions. In future, it is of interest to simulate the time characteristics of fire and rescue units’ operation in the region: to build an appropriate mathematical model, to study the employment time and arrival time of fire and rescue unit at the scene.
Camalote sign in intraventricular hydatid cyst: A rare presentation of uncommon disease
Authors: Kaushik Kaviraj , Choudhary Ajay , Ahuja Arvind , Varshney Rahul , Sharma Rajesh
Published: October 2021

Background:

Hydatid cyst is a common zoonotic condition in endemic areas. Intraventricular hydatid cyst is a rare entity with less than 50 cases published in literature. Floating water lily sign (also called Camalote sign) is very rare in intracranial hydatid cysts. Only a single case report of this sign exists in literature in intraventricular hydatidosis suggesting rupture of hydatid cyst leading to CSF dissemination and frequent poor outcome.

Case Description:

This case report describes the successful management of a 5-year-old child who presented with signs and symptoms of raised intracranial pressure due to large intraventricular hydatid cyst in the right frontal horn, and magnetic resonanace imaging of the brain showed hydatid cyst with typical camalote sign.

Conclusion:

Although very rare, the presence of camalote sign in intraventricular cysts is very categorical in establishing preoperative diagnosis of hydatid cyst, especially in endemic areas.
Concordantia Veteris et Novi Testamenti in the Mosaic of the Funerary Basilica of Via Dottor Consoli in Catania
Authors: DI CARO Dominique Maria
Published: October 2021

In 1930, it was discovered in the area of Via Dottor Consoli, in the northwestern sector of current urban centre of Catania, a cemetery complex used from the Hellenistic to the Byzantine era, by the Superintendence of Antiquities of Syracuse, under the direction of then Inspector G. Libertini. In that occasion, portions of the perimeter strip of a floor mosaic inside the basilica were brought to light, which during later excavation campaigns was completely excavated and detached in 1957 to be exhibited in the “salone di San Giorgio” of the Castello Ursino. Currently, it is kept in the storerooms of the ex-Manifattura Tabacchi (site of the future Regional Interdisciplinary Museum of Catania).

The mosaic of the basilica nave, dated to the middle of the sixth century AD, represents common secular themes on three registers: running felids, animals in combat and the marine scene with two men on a boat in front of a dragon with red coat dotted with white eyelets. In a panel there is a snake twisted around the trunk of a tree, in my opinion, to be identified with the Tree of knowledge mentioned by the sacred texts. In the Apocalypse, “the old serpent, which is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world” (Revelation 12, 9) becomes a great red dragon, who appears in the marine scene. An interpretative reading of the mosaic is proposed in the light of the rhetorical procedure of “significant inclusion” to enhance the unity and narrative continuity between the Old and New Testament.

Взаимодействием Er(NO3)3 с буферным раствором Hchc/Na(chc) (Hchc — циклогексанкарбоновая кислота) получен комплекс Er3(chc)9(Hchc)0.5 (1). Строение 1 установлено методом рентгеноструктурного анализа монокристалла. Комплекс представляет собой 1D координационный полимер с псевдогексагональной укладкой полимерных цепей. Цепи имеют необычную спиральную форму, а благодаря стерическим особенностям циклогексанкарбоксилат-аниона в полостях рыхлой упаковки цепей располагаются сольватные молекулы Hchc. Нагревание 1 на воздухе приводит к отщеплению молекул Hchc и образованию Er(chc)3, устойчивого до 200 °C.

The low-density polyethylene/aluminum (LDPE/Al) joint in Tetra Pak food container provides stability and strength to food packaging, ensures protection against outside moisture, and maintains the nutritional values and flavors of food without the need for additives in the food products. However, it was found that the adhesion strength of LDPE with Al is weak or almost non-existent, due to the non-polar hydrophobic LDPE surface. Therefore, it was necessary to apply surface treatment to LDPE. Plasma-assisted grafting of the LDPE surface with different molecular weight compounds of polyethylene glycol (PEG) was used to improve LDPE/Al adhesion. It was found that this surface modification contributed to significantly improve the wettability of the LDPE surface, as was confirmed by contact angle measurements. The chemical composition changes after plasma treatment and modification process was observed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). A surface morphology was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Adhesion characteristics of LDPE/Al adhesive joints were analyzed by the peel tests. The most significant adhesion improvement of the PEG modified LDPE surface was achieved using 10.0 wt.% aqueous (6000 M) PEG solution, while the peel resistance increased by approximately 54 times in comparison with untreated LDPE.

The Support Vector Machine (SVM) method is a method that is widely used in the classification process. The success of the classification of the SVM method depends on the soft margin coefficient C, as well as the parameter  of the kernel function. The SVM parameters are usually obtained by trial and error, but this method takes a long time because they have to try every combination of SVM parameters, therefore the purpose of this study is to find the optimal SVM parameter value based on accuracy. This study uses the Firefly Algorithm (FA) as a method for optimizing SVM parameters. The data set used in this study is data on public opinion on several films. Class labels used in data classification are positive class labels and negative class labels. The amount of data used in this study is 2179 data, with the distribution of 436 data as test data and 1743 data as training data. Based on this data, an evaluation process was carried out on the Firefly Algorithm-Support Vector Machine (FA-SVM). The results of this study indicate that the Firefly Algorithm can obtain the optimal combination of SVM parameters based on accuracy, so there is no need for trial and error to get that value. This is evidenced by the results of the FA-SVM evaluation using a value range of C=1.0-3.0 and =0.1-1.0 resulting in the highest accuracy of 87.84%. The next evaluation using a range of values ​​C=1.0-3.0 and =1.0-2.0 resulted in the highest accuracy of 87.15%.

Published: October 2021

ABSTRACT

Background:

In general, the role of vitamin D, [25 (OH)D], is to regulate calcium and phosphate metabolism by bone remodeling but the studies, in the recent decades, shown that low exposure at the sun and vitamin D deficiency are associated with the increased risk of many other extra-skeletal disorders, such as cancer diseases.

Content:

Several original studies and meta-analyses have evaluated the role of vitamin D in cancer prevention or the potential to improve cancer treatment outcomes. The broad field of antitumor effects of calcitriol and analogues in the treatment of cancer, as single agents or in combination with other anticancer agents, is mainly based on the mechanisms of inhibition of cancer cell proliferation and invasiveness, induction of differentiation, apoptosis and the promotion of angiogenesis.

Summary and Outlook:

The scientific evidence suggests that the provider of health care should consider the increasing of concentrations of 25 (OH) D through sun exposure or by supplementing with vitamin D of people with different ages to reduce the risk ills with Vitamin D deficiency besides the standard treatment of some chronic diseases, inclusive cancer disease beside the specific personalized antineoplastic treatments for every malignant disease.

Exercise: Preventive and Therapeutic Benefits in Cancer
Authors: Agarwal Shashi K.
Published: October 2021

Cancer is soon expected to overtake cardiovascular diseases as the leading cause of death in the world. As newer and often more expensive cancer treatments become available, several complementary modalities are gaining clinical importance. Exercise is one such modality. Increasing scientific data suggests that exercise, besides helping prevent several cancers, can also help improve outcomes across a range of cancer diagnoses. The mechanisms behind this protection and therapeutic effects are numerous and include changes in body composition, insulin sensitivity, oxidative stress, sex hormone levels, systemic inflammation, immune cell function, and DNA integrity. Exercise is easy to do, is inexpensive, and can be modified to the condition of the patient. This review summarizes the various benefits of structured activity in most major cancers affecting humans.
