Organ transplantation due to immune reactions
Authors: Sokolov N. V.
Published: September 2021

All organ transplants have the goal of implanting a given graft in a new location. In order to successfully achieve this goal a number of conditions are necessary, which lie, on the one hand, in the properties of the transplant itself, and on the other hand, in the properties of the organism accepting the latter. The graft should show the ability to be vital and adaptable in order to be preserved until, with the sprouting of new vessels, nutrition is established in the new environment; it should show the ability to grow and stability in order to overcome all those obstacles which are connected with its transfer into the new environment.
A case of removal of the vagus spleen
Authors: Bogolyubov V. L.
Published: September 2021

A wandering spleen, as we know, is a spleen that has left its normal, anatomical receptacle and moves freely in the abdominal cavity. Displacement of this organ may be congenital (due to the absence of normal ligaments and enteroptosis congenita), but much more often such a displacement is acquired. Causes of the latter are: trauma, increase of the spleen due to those or other disease processes (malaria, leukemia, tumors), especially general enteroptosis or, more correctly, general ptosis (omission) of abdominal organs, intestines, spleen, liver, kidneys, occurring due to distension of abdominal walls and weakening of intra-abdominal pressure in women who have many children.

On the effect of Omorol on urethral gonorrhea in men
Authors: Krivosheev N. P.
Published: September 2021

With the discovery of the contagious origin of gonorrhea in the form of the gonococcus discovered by Neisser (in 1879), a new era has dawned in the treatment of the disease: nowadays we must be guided by the clinical symptoms of the disease alone, but we must have in mind a substantial and valid criterion. The treatment of this disease has ushered in a new era: nowadays, in assessing the results of the treatment of gonorrhoea, we must not be guided only by the clinical symptoms of the disease, but we must have in mind a more substantial and valid criterion, namely the presence or absence of gonococci in the urethra secretions, and to better fulfill the task of therapy we must, upon establishing the diagnosis of the disease, disinfect the diseased urethra as quickly and reliably as possible.

The Hérelle phenomenon, its nature and significance from the point of view of biologists and clinicians
Authors: Tushnov M. P.
Published: September 2021

From individual facts through their generalization scientific hypotheses and theories are created, which in turn are the basis for new conquests of science. Therefore, it is not surprising that often a suddenly discovered fact produces a whole revolution in our views. Often such a fact, which in the beginning does not fit in our ideas, later serves as a starting point for the creation of a new theory. So it was with discoveries of phagocytosis, gemolysis, bacteriolysis, Kraus' precipitations, agglutination, anaphylaxis, etc. Apparently, the so-called "dʹHerelle phenomenon" has the same place nowadays.

Hacia simulaciones realistas de agarre robótico submarino en el contexto del proyecto TWINBOT
Authors: Ávila Mario , Solís Alejandro , Marín Raúl , Sanz Pedro J. , Martí José V.
Published: September 2021

El uso de tecnologías de videojuegos en las aplicaciones robóticas está siendo de gran ayuda tanto en el diseño de interfaces de usuario como en la implementación de servidores de simulación, que permitan un mayor realismo en las imágenes generadas por computador. Así mismo, cuando se procura realizar una simulación donde existe contacto de un brazo manipulador, como por ejemplo en tareas de peg-in-hole, estas tecnologías no están todavía suficientemente avanzadas. En este artículo describimos el estado actual de uno de los experimentos de simulación del proyecto TWINBOT, donde se procura realizar tareas de manipulación con tuberías, incluyendo recuperación, transporte e inserción. El sistema utiliza la nueva versión de la física de Unity, a través del objeto Articulation Body, el cual da un mayor grado de precisión en el cálculo de fuerzas tras una interacción robótica con un objeto. El escenario de la simulación es submarino, pudiendo apreciar el nivel actual alcanzado con este tipo de sistemas.

Comparativa entre modelos estocásticos de crecimiento bacteriano a distintas escalas
Authors: Martínez-López Nerea , Vilas Carlos , García Míriam R.
Published: September 2021

En la industria alimentaria la calidad y la seguridad del alimento, así como los procesos implicados en su producción, envasado y transporte, se optimizan acudiendo a la microbiología predictiva. Esta disciplina modela el comportamiento de microorganismos, tales como bacterias, empleando modelos primarios para describir su crecimiento. Uno de los mayores retos en este contexto es modelar y simular el crecimiento cuando el número inicial de bacterias (inóculo) es reducido, ya que la población se comporta estocásticamente. Existen distintas alternativas de modelado, dependiendo de (1) el grado de detalle de la solución requerida, (2) los tiempos de cálculo y (3) la facilidad de calibración de sus parámetros. En este trabajo se comparan las soluciones y tiempos de cálculo, a la vez que se discute la identificabilidad estructural, cuando se aborda el problema desde una escala microscópica, con modelado basado en individuos, o desde una escala mesoscópica, mediante la derivación de la equivalente ecuación de Fokker–Planck modificada.

The robotic neck mechanism considered in this paper has as main element a soft link that emulates a human neck with two DOF (flexion, extension and lateral bending). The mechanism is based on a Cable-Driven Parallel Mechanism (CDPM) with components easy to manufacture in a 3D printer.Due to the soft link properties and the platform mechanics, it is important to provide a robust control system. Two designs, a robust PID controller and a Fractional Order PI controller (FOPI) are proposed and compared, the fractional order control showing an enhanced performance. Both control approaches are tested in the real prototype, validating the soft neck feasibility and showing the robustness of the platform to mass changes at the neck tip.

De-Masking deafness: Unlearning and Reteaching Disability During a Pandemic
Authors: Kersten-Parrish Sara
Published: September 2021

In academic writing about disability, the impetus is typically used to subvert society's ableist structures and challenge misconceptions and misunderstanding around disability. However, due to the world-wide spread of COVID-19 and the restrictions put in place to reduce the virus's impact, such as asking people to wear masks in public places and the closing of universities and moving to entirely online learning, the author, who is deaf, found herself vulnerable and confronting a lack of access due to these measures. This reflexive paper will investigate how the pandemic and its effects forced the author to reconsider her ownership of her deafness. It will add to a growing body of autoethnographic disability research by contributing another facet to understandings around disability and self as they are actualized in the midst of the pandemic.
Expanding the meaning of citizenship: "evacuation" of people with disabilities in Russia from the institutions during COVID-19
Authors: Battalova Alfiya
Published: September 2021

In the wake of COVID-19, non-profit organizations that focus on providing social support services in Russia consolidated their efforts to take proactive measures to change internaty 1, the system of institutions for people with physical, mental, and intellectual disabilities. As a result of advocacy efforts by the non-profit organizations, 26 people from these institutions were evacuated and provided with temporary assisted housing. The decision to act proactively to prevent the spread of the virus among the residents of the institutions is indicative of the galvanized efforts of the non-profit sector to advocate for deinstitutionalization and assisted living. COVID-19 served as an opportunity for the non-profit organizations to emphasize the need for expediting deinstitutionalization reform. Drawing on media sources, the literature on disability and advocacy in Russia, and the conceptual framework of citizenship, this paper will provide an overview of the internaty system, analyze the legislative context of disability and COVID-19, and discuss the context of deinstitutionalization advocacy in Russia.

Authors: Gupta Pradeep , Mujalde Vikram Singh
Published: September 2021

Background: Congenital esophageal atresia with tracheo-esophageal fistula is a common congenital anomaly facing at our centre. There is various proposed anastomotic technique to avoid post-operative complications. In our center, feeding has been conventionally initiated after a contrast esophagogram done at the seventh day post repair. The current study tried to assess the benefits and risks of initiation of early feeding in these patients by placement of a Tran’s anastomotic feeding tube during the repair.Methods: Twenty-five patients had a trans anastomotic feeding tube inserted during trachea esophageal fistula repair and were followed up for different outcomes.Results: Twenty-five patients were operated out of which were sixteen males and nine were females. Early complications of esophageal atresia surgery such as anastomotic leak, surgical site infection, pneumonia and sepsis occur in eight patients. All the complications were managed successfully conservatively, however, one patient died due to anastomotic leak and subsequent septicemia.Conclusions: We conclude that early tube feeding is safe and does not increase risks of anastomotic leaks. It also reduces the need of total parenteral nutrition bringing down the costs of procedure in developing nations.

Lung cancer is one of the most common cancer worldwide and the leading cause of cancer‑related death. Needle biopsies of lung have been used for diagnosis of lung lesions. They are done CT guided or thoracoscopic guided procedures in our institution.

The aim is to study role of needle biopsy in early diagnosis of lung lesions and incidence of lung lesions in needle biopsies in our hospital with respect to age and sex.

A retrospective type of study. The histopathological records of our Hospital were reviewed for needle biopsies of lung lesions between January 2019 to December 2019 (One year). 35 cases noted during this period.

There were a total of 35 cases during the study period of one year. The specimens received were linear bits and average size was 0.5cm in length. Non-neoplastic lesions were eight (22.85 %) and neoplasms contributed to 15 cases (42.85%) along with inadequate biopsies (20 %) and normal lung biopsies (14.28 %).Maximum number of cases were reported in the age group of 51-70 years (28 cases) with male preponderance. In all age groups, malignant lesions were more common in which, Adenocarcinoma was predominant.

To conclude, in our study malignant neoplasms predominated over non neoplastic lesions. The most common histological type encountered in this study was an Adenocarcinoma.

To study the expression of Ki-67 and p16 in neoplastic lesions of uterine cervix and to evaluate the prognostic significance of tumour differentiation, histological type, stage and grade, depth of tumour invasion and lymphovascular invasion in women with neoplasia of uterine cervix.

This study was performed on 50 biopsies and surgically resected specimens of uterine cervix, which were fixed in 10% formalin, processed, paraffin embedded and cut into 3-5 microns thickness, stained with hematoxylin and eosin stains and immunohistochemical staining by p16 and Ki-67 antibodies was performed and studied.

Majority of cases of invasive carcinoma cervix were large cell non-keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma, 58 cases (48.2%). Majority of cases of invasive carcinoma cervix were seen in stage 2B, 40 (40.8%) cases followed by stage 3B, 24 (24.4%) cases. Out of 18 cases of large cell non-keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma, 12 (66.7%) showed 3+ positivity for Ki-67. 7 (53.8%) cases of stage 2A showed 3+ positivity, 3 (23.1%) cases each showed 2+ positivity for p16. 7 (36.8%) cases of moderately differentiated SCC showed 3+ positivity, 4 (21.1%) showed 2+ positivity and 5 (26.3%) showed 1+ positivity of Ki-67. Out of 10 stable patients, 4 (40.0%) showed negative p16 immunoexpression and all the 3 cases (100%) with recurrence showed 2+ positivity and 2 (100%) patients with metastasis showed 3+ positivity. Out of 10 stable patients, 6 (60%) showed negative Ki-67 immunoexpression and all the 3 (100%) cases with recurrence showed 3+ positivity and one each (50.0%) patient with metastasis showed 2+ positivity and 3+ positivity.

p16 and Ki-67 immunomarkers are useful as a diagnostic and prognostic tool in cases with recurrence and metastasis, helping in early detection of disease progression.
Study of variants of papillary carcinoma of Thyroid with a special emphasis on NIFTP (Non-invasive Follicular Thyroid Neoplasm with Papillary like nuclear features)
Authors: Krishna kanth G V R N , Jyoti N Nirmala
Published: September 2021

Rapid advances have taken place in the classification of papillary thyroid neoplasms with reclassification and addition of new variants. One such change is the addition of a new entity called NIFTP (Non-invasive Follicular Thyroid Neoplasm with Papillary like nuclear features). So called recognising its non-malignant potential.

The present study is a retrospective observational cohort study on thyroidectomy specimens collected between Jan 2018 to June 2021 focussing on variants of papillary carcinoma with special emphasis on recognising NIFTP – which has got good prognosis and is considered non-malignant.

Out of the 40 cases of papillary neoplasms 36 were PTC and 4 were NIFTP. Among the PTC cases 27 were classic PTC, 4 were FVPTC (Follicular Variant of Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma) 3 were papillary microcarcinoma, 1 was Warthin like Variant of PTC and 1 was Encapsulated PTC.

The Study concludes that special vigilance is required in strictly adhering to the criteria proposed by new 2017 WHO classification of Papillary tumours. Recognising NIFTP as it is a non-malignant entity should be given due importance.
Primary umbilical endometriosis – A rare presentation of cutaneous endometriosis
Authors: C Girija , Aslam K K Muhammed
Published: September 2021

Primary umbilical endometriosis is a rare condition with an overall incidence of around 0.5% to 1% among all the endometriosis cases, but at times it poses a diagnostic dilemma. In our institution we encountered a case of primary umbilical endometriosis presented to multiple surgical speciality departments. A prompt clinical examination with surgical biopsy was the key tool which lead to the diagnosis and providing a complete cure for the patient. Pelvic endometriosis affects 5-10% of women in the child bearing age group. The most pronounced symptoms are dyspareunia, pelvic pain, and infertility. Clinical presentations of umbilical endometriosis are as a nodule with or without associated umbilical pain and bleeding. This patient was given primary hormonal therapy and later underwent a biopsy which paved way for an accurate diagnosis of primary umbilical endometriosis. In this case of umbilical swelling, conditions like a benign nevus, lipoma, abscess, cyst, hernia, as well as metastatic deposit from a systemic malignancy were considered in the clinical differential diagnosis. However surgical excision helped us arrive at a definitive diagnosis and cure for the patient.

Authors: Dolynska O. O.
Published: September 2021

Problem Statement and Purpose. The article deals with the peculiarities of rural tourism development in Khmelnytskyi region. The purpose of our research is to study the current state, problems and prospects of rural tourism in Khmelnytskyi region. To achieve this goal we have performed the following tasks. For example, the development peculiarities of Khmelnytskyi regional tourist complex are revealed; identified spatial aspects of Khmelnytskyi region rural tourism development; the problems of Khmelnytskyi region rural tourism development are investigated; the perspective development directions of Khmelnytskyi region rural tourism are named. The essence of the concept of “rural” tourism is defined. The available tourist and recreational resources necessary for the development of rural tourism in Khmelnytskyi region are analyzed. The advantages and factors influencing the development of rural tourism in this region are identified. According to many scientists, due to the spread of COVID‑19 and the pandemic, rural tourism is the most developed, as this type of tourism is one of the most secluded types.
Data & Methods. To achieve the goal of the study, general scientific and special methods of geographical science were used. The negative and positive impact of green tourism on rural areas and the solution of socio-economic problems of the village are analyzed. Given the rich tourist and recreational resources of Khmelnytskyi region (favorable natural and climatic conditions, historical, cultural and ethnic heritage), the development of rural tourism is one of the ways to solve economic, social and environmental problems.
Results. Rural tourism promotes the development of the rural population employment, not only in the production sphere, but also in the service sector and promotes the development of rural areas, as well as stimulating the development of services: transport, communications, trade, services, recreation and other institutions in the countryside. The article deals with the ways to increase the efficiency of green tourism in Khmelnytskyi region. It is substantiated that the available resource potential of Khmelnytskyi region is not rationally used, due to the lack of sufficient information on this form of tourism. The study of the of green tourism development prospects in Khmelnytskyi region is very relevant in the context of decentralization. In accordance with the principles of reforming the system of governance in Ukraine, local governments should become the basis for decentralization, taking full account of local development and needs. The newly formed rural united territorial communities have great difficulties in filling local budgets with funds from economic activities on their territory. It is believed that rural tourism can become an industry that will actively fill the budget of rural united territorial communities.

This study is devoted to the analysis of international tourism flows directed into Ukraine.
Problem Statement and Purpose. Diagnostics of tourism flows according to regions of the world was carried out and the tendency of the increasing role of tourism both locally and internationally was noticed. The attractiveness of Ukraine for the tourism regions of the world was analyzed in detail by assessing tourist arrivals through the prism of the leading countries selection in each of them. This allows us to analyse the place of Ukraine in the tourism flows of these territories.
Special attention is paid to the flow of tourists within the country and the analysis of the most attractive areas for foreign tourists in terms of regional territories. The aim of the study is a modernized vision of the problem of tourism flows within one of the countries of the Central and Eastern European tourism subregion (according to the UNWTO methodology). The study identified how the geography of tourist origin affects these processes in a particular country (on the example of Ukraine). Due to such research, it is possible to assess changes in the economic, social and political systems, as well as the culture of the country in general and its regions in particular. In addition, it is possible to assess the impact on the population around the world.
Data & Methods. The study of international tourism flows is based on the recommendations of the UNWTO, as well as modern scientific research of national and foreign European researchers. The following research methods were used in the research process: analytical, descriptive, comparative, statistical.
Results. The results of the previous empirical study confirmed that different social groups have their own specific patterns of tourism activity. It also showed what groups responded the most to globalization and the possible consequences it may have for tourism activities. The growing mobility of the population and the consequences of the outbound tourism development are some of the main consequences of globalization. The study showed that the geography of interest in Ukraine by foreign tourists is expanding. To some extent, this can be justified by the war, which significantly reoriented the composition and direction of international tourism flows in Ukraine.
