Authors:   Kharkiv  National  Medical  University, Dunaieva І. , Kravchun N. ,   Life Park medical center, Kharkiv
Published: July 2021

Context. In a pandemic caused by a coronavirus infection, a special risk group are the patients with cardiovascular disease, hypertension and diabetes mellitus in particular, which are the most common risk groups among the general population. The spread of coronavirus disease is particularly dangerous in terms of decompensation of chronic complications, specific damage to the cardiovascular system, especially in cases of severe infection and high risk of adverse outcomes in the above cohort of patients. The combination of coronavirus disease and cardiovascular disease poses additional difficulties in diagnosing, identifying, and prescribing appropriate therapy, including antihypertensive therapy. Therefore, it is important to address the possible risks and complications in people with hypertension and diabetes mellitus in the conditions of coronavirus disease COVID-19 and the features of the antihypertensive therapy prescription. Objective. To investigate the peculiarities of treatment of patients with arterial hypertension in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, to analyze possible risks and complications based on the results of studying the literature. Materials and methods. Content analysis, methods of systemic and comparative results, as well as bibliosemantic evaluation of current research in the literature on the prescription of antihypertensive therapy in patients with hypertension and diabetes in the conditions of coronavirus COVID-19 were used. Sources of information were searched in scientometric medical databases, namely PubMedNCBI, Medline, Web of Science and Google Scholar, etc. by keywords: diabetes, hypertension, antihypertensive therapy, COVID-19, complications, cardiovascular risk. 174 scientific works in English, Ukrainian and Russian were analyzed and sources were selected, which contain questions about the risks of patients with hypertension and diabetes in the conditions of coronavirus disease, including those related to the appointment of antihypertensive therapy. Results. RAAS inhibitors, which provide better blood pressure control, may partially help to maintain the immune system imbalance in hypertension. In patients with hypertension during a viral infection, blood pressure levels and cardiovascular risk should be monitored. Conclusions. Constant monitoring of hemodynamic parameters, ECG and ECHO-CG – should be under the control according to the indications. The association of RAAS blockers (ACE inhibitors and ARBs) with an increased risk of infection in patients and worsening of COVID-19 has not been established so far, so patients with CVD should continue to take them. Patients who have survived coronavirus disease should be included in the medical rehabilitation programs for faster and better recovery of various systems, primarily respiratory and cardiovascular, as well as to improve quality of life and reduce the risk of disability.

The review of the applications for grants of the National Research Foundation of Ukraine revealed evidence that many applicants-clinicians are not aware of the principles of Good Clinical Practice (GCP) that are implemented in different forms in the vast majority of research involving human subjects across the globe. In the essay, based on the experience of researching at Danylo Halytsky Lviv National Medical University (Ukraine), Loma Linda University (USA), Friedrich Schiller University Jena (Germany), as well as industry (Sanofi-Aventis-Deutschland GmbH., Frankfurt am Main, Germany), the author shares his thoughts about the gaps in education, training, regulations and administrative flaws that prevent more rapid progress in clinical research in Ukraine. Despite the complexity of the problem, implementation of relatively simple steps at institutional and/or national levels, as suggested, can boost the efficiency of research, increase the quality of applications and move clinical research in Ukraine to a qualitatively different level

Background. The diagnosis of early pyogenic vertebral osteomyelitis is essential for prompt determination of treatment strategy and prevention of suppurative-destructive complications, although the nonspecifi c clinical manifestation obstructs timely disease detection. Aim. To analyse the clinical accuracy of various radiological imaging methods for early detection and control over vertebral osteomyelitis course Materials and methods. A retrospective study of standardized clinical data of patients (N = 54) who underwent treatment at the Neurosurgery Department of the MМCC WR between 2010 and 2020 was carried out. Patients were observed for 12–36 months. Study fi ndings and discussion. Our study revealed that during radiological imaging, infl ammatory changes in the vertebrae specifi c to osteomyelitis were not found in any case, which signifi cantly delays the diagnosis. The study analysed and grouped radiological signs of the infl ammatory process spread in the vertebrae in case of spondylodiscitis by CT and MR stages. Spondylodiscitis was diagnosed by CT of the spine in the late third stage only in 29.0 % of patients. Nonspecifi c destructive changes of vertebrae were detected in 51.6% of persons, which required additional MRI examination to establish the diagnosis. In 19.4% of those examined in the presence of the fi rst MR stage, no specifi c CT signs of osteomyelitis were found. MRI scan of the spine is the main specifi c (93 %), accurate (94 %) and sensitive (97 %) method for early detection of pyogenic osteomyelitis. Although according to the world literature, MRI is not sensitive enough to assess the dynamics of the infl ammatory process in the spine, the progressive increase in signal intensity of vertebral cortex on T1-weighted images within aff ected vertebrae correlates well with infl ammation resolving and C-reactive protein (CRP) level normalization. We described this radiological sign as a «vertebral rim» phenomenon (VRP). In our study, a reliable correlation was found between CRP level and the «vertebral rim» phenomenon on MRI. Conclusions. For early detection of pyogenic vertebral osteomyelitis, MRI examination is the main specifi c and sensitive method. We suggest combining the CRP level and «vertebral rim» sign in practice as dynamics of spondylodiscitis markers and justifi cation of antibacterial therapy strategy.

Introduction. Anti-plagiarism evaluation is an integral component of the system of educational and scientific activities in particular and higher education in general. Modern areas for combating academic plagiarism include programmatic verification, optimizing the evaluation by implementing new algorithms, applying online and desktop software based on academic integrity strategies. This is why the process of technical verification of scientific papers requires significant time and physical resources. Aim. To optimize measures used to eliminate academic plagiarism based on the analysis of initial results and the experience of anti-plagiarism evaluation in terms of the implementation of academic integrity principles. Material and methods. The Code of Academic Ethics of Lviv National Medical University (LNMU) determines basic concepts and the task of academic integrity, regulates basic principles of organization and control. According to the Law of Ukraine “On Higher Education” and applicable orders, university standards and regulations, LNMU Scientific Department conducted an expert assessment and plagiarism evaluation of 5992 scientific and methodological papers submitted for 3 years. The evaluation of all scientific papers in terms of academic integrity is carried out considering the percentage of uniqueness and results of direct semantic analysis. The comparative pedagogical analysis of primary results was also conducted. Results. Unichek, Plagiarism Detector Pro, Viper, Antiplagiarism.NET, etc. and free Advego Plagiatus software is used at the university based on the shingle method for plagiarism detection. Links to software and services for initial verification of scientific papers for plagiarism are included in the LNMU methodological guidelines to provide technical support of scientific and educational work assessment. In 954 small and medium length scientific papers (15.92% of the total sample), violations of scientific communication were found: copying, signs of the conflict of interest. 778 (12.98%) of abstracts and articles were finally rejected (as a result of refusal to revise and negative results of the repeated evaluation. Conclusions. Primary results of anti-plagiarism evaluation cause concerns in terms of their academic integrity: higher incidence of self-plagiarism and replications of scientific research results in articles and abstracts of young scientists. It is crucial to comprehensively and fully review documents determining plagiarism prevention and establishing responsibility for academic plagiarism, specifying the procedure for considering appeals
IVAN PULUJ AND THE DISCOVERY OF X-RAYS

On January 5, 1896, the Austrian newspaper Die Presse published an article entitled “A Sensational Discovery”. It was dedicated to the discovery of X-rays made on November 8, 1895 by the German physicist Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen. Having taken into account the contribution of other scientists, the precondition of the given epochal, yet unexpected, discovery was, first and foremost, the work of the Ukrainian scientist Ivan Puluj. It was Puluj who laid the foundation for X-ray science. He explained the nature of X-rays, discovered that they can ionize atoms and molecules, and defined the place of X-ray emergence and their distribution in space. In 1881, Puluj constructed a cathode lamp (“Puluj’s tube”) which was fundamentally a new type of light source. In the same year, in recognition of this discovery, Puluj received an award at the International Exhibition in Paris. Investigating the processes in cathode-ray tubes, Ivan Puluj set the stage for two ground-breaking discoveries in physics, namely X-rays and electrons. Puluj used his cathode lamp in medicine as a source of intense X-rays which proved to be highly efficient. The exact date of the first X-ray images received by Puluj remains unknown. High-quality photographs of the hand of an eleven-year-old girl, taken on January 18, 1896, are preserved. Multiple X-ray images clearly visualized pathological changes in the examined structures (fractures, calluses, tuberculous bone lesions). High-quality images were obtained by means of the anticathode in the design of Puluj’s lamp, which was the first in the world. The image of the whole skeleton of a stillborn child (published on April 3, 1896 in The Photogram) is considered to be the starting point of using X-rays in anatomy.
HISTORY OF JULES BORDEAUX IDEAS (dedicated to 150 anniversary of the birth of a scientist)

The experimental period in the history of immunology as a science can be attributed to the years of scientific activity of the world-famous bacteriologist and immunologist Jules Bordeaux, who was the first to experimentally prove the physicochemical nature of such immune reactions as agglutination, hemolysis, precipitation. He was also involved in revealing the nature of phagocytosis reactions and established the relationship between the virulence of the microorganism and the presence of a capsule and phagocytosis. Owing to the discovery of Jules Bordeaux, mankind became aware of the cytotoxic properties of blood serum. Bordeaux’s scientific heritage was the elucidation of the role of complement in immunological processes, which was proved experimentally during the work of a young scientist at the Pasteur Institute in the laboratory of I. I Mechnikov, who considered J. Bordeaux one of his favorite students. In collaboration with Octave Zhangou, the complement fixation reaction underlying Wasserman’s reaction was first proposed. Bordeaux is well known around the world for the «driving force» of immunity — the connection of antigen to antibody. He can be regarded as one of the founders of the method of serodiagnosis. Bordeaux was the director of the Pasteur Institute in Brussels for 35 years, the world’s only autonomous Pasteur Institute unrelated to Paris. Jules Bordeaux’s scientific legacy continued and became the basis for many epoch-making discoveries in medicine, including the explanation of the mechanisms of anaphylaxis, the study of blood clotting, the discovery of blood groups, etc. The theoretical substantiation of immunological reactions became the beginning of a new diagnostic direction in laboratory practice — immunoassay, which includes thousands of modern laboratory methods
La dignidad humana: propuestas de protección jurídica
Authors: Beltrán Gretcher Lamas , Molina Angélica María
Published: July 2021

La dignidad humana es una categoría prejurídica, pues constituye aquel rasgo o cualidad primigenia e innata que ostenta el ser humano por naturaleza. Sin embargo, como fundamento de todos los derechos humanos, valor por excelencia y principio fundamental, sí precisa de tutela jurídica y respaldo por los ordenamientos jurídicos en general, para cuyo logro es indispensable un adecuado tratamiento doctrinal que siente las bases para su correcta consagración legislativa. La presente investigación se centró en las esferas constitucional y penal y se diseñó para dar respuesta al insuficiente tratamiento doctrinal y normativo de la dignidad humana en los ámbitos constitucional y penal, lo que limita su protección por los ordenamientos jurídicos.

Los métodos utilizados fueron el análisis -síntesis y teórico- jurídico, brindando como conclusiones en la presente investigación un concepto de dignidad humana y una visión de la misma desde una arista constitucional y penal.
Rigidez constitucional ¿flexible?
Authors: Cruz Rodríguez Michael
Published: July 2021

En este artículo se sostiene que la Corte Constitucional colombiana ha desempeñado un importante papel político para evitar la concentración del poder y defender su posición institucional, mediante la creación de una doctrina de la sustitución de la constitución lo suficientemente dúctil como para responder a los desafíos del contexto político. Esto le ha permitido adoptar estratégicamente decisiones que intervienen en el ámbito político sin perder su carácter judicial ni minar la legitimidad del control constitucional. Con todo, la refracción de la teoría ha producido un nuevo elemento teórico paradójico: la flexibilidad de la rigidez constitucional en relación con ciertos contextos políticos. Para demostrar este argumento, se examinan todas las decisiones judiciales producidas por la Corte relacionadas conceptualmente con la doctrina y se evalúan sus efectos institucionales en el ámbito político.
El juez español y la interpretación de normas

Published: July 2021

El papel de los jueces constitucionales en los Estados contemporáneos que han incluido un control de constitucionalidad en sus constituciones es el tema central que desarrolla el presente artículo de reflexión, en donde se realiza un análisis de la consolidación de la jurisdicción constitucional y los alcances de su interpretación frente al papel tradicional del parlamento. El texto aborda un análisis de las técnicas de interpretación constitucional y la norma convencional, estableciendo un análisis argumentativo, fundamentado en la doctrina constitucional autorizada. Tal análisis lo liga a los poderes de interpretación del juez constitucional, quien ostenta la autoridad de interpretación en las democracias constitucionales como la española.
Deciphering the phenomenon of land grabbing within the framework of the European Union
Authors: Fillol Mazo Adriana , Soriano García José
Published: July 2021

When we talk about land grabbing, or problems around land, we do not really think that this is a phenomenon that is also occurring within the EU, but rather we think mainly of other parts of the world, such as the Global South, Latin American states or Africa. However, the reality is that in Europe today, the concentration of land under increasingly large farms controlled by fewer hands (partly as a result of land grabbing and reduced access to land for small-scale food producers) is accelerating. The aim of our work is to provide an overall legal, social and political analysis of the phenomenon of land grabbing, particularly of agricultural land, within the EU, presenting the main legal and political challenges that arise ad intra.

 

We will also focus on the analysis of certain European Directives that have an impact on the Union's policy on biofuels and therefore also on possible ad extra land grabs that are carried out within the framework of the European Union. The issues presented in this work are complex and multidisciplinary, so we can approach them from different perspectives. However, in order to shorten the scope of the study, we have taken into account the basis of land grabbing within the framework of European Union law. In this sense, the scientific method that has been used is the legal-sociological one, insofar as it is the one that we consider the most appropriate for the multidisciplinary approach. This method consists of analyzing the current state of the rules and the interrelationship between the possible legal sources but taking into account the social, economic, political and historical elements that allow to explain the effectiveness, rationale and applicability of the rules. This work has also required the use of a variety of methodological techniques, such as social and legal analysis, legal deduction and induction, description and interdisciplinarity.
La teoría de la Legislación, la reforma rural integral y la responsabilidad social empresarial, frente a la vinculación laboral de excombatientes en el pos-conflicto colombiano
Authors: Filigrana Cortes Jose Luis , Buitrago Escobar Adriana María
Published: July 2021

A través de la implementación de un mecanismo de justicia alternativo, como lo es la “Justicia Transicional.” Se han consolidado acuerdos para la terminación del conflicto armado, entre el desmovilizado grupo FARC EP y el Estado colombiano, que referente a la búsqueda de una salida a tal conflicto, han decidido silenciar las armas y darles vida a las ideas, mediante los denominados diálogos de paz. La consecución exitosa de tales acuerdos, radica en que la discriminación laboral a excombatientes, se suprima. Para tal fin, el presente artículo, tuvo como objeto, analizar la aplicación de las teorías de la Legislación y la Responsabilidad Social Empresarial, en adelante R.S.E., como al otorgarles a las empresas de Colombia –públicas o privadas- la exigencia moral de garantizar el derecho al trabajo para lograr su reinserción a la vida civil. En la misma línea, y bajo la implementación de la Reforma Rural Integral, en adelante, R.R.I. surge como un mecanismo agente de paz, capaz de crear fuentes de acceso a un empleo digno para excombatientes, en aras de erradicar la posibilidad de la retoma de las armas por parte de la referida población, ello en cumplimiento con el acuerdo y con el objeto principal de consolidar el acceso al trabajo como una garantía apropiada de no repetición.

Published: July 2021

Justicia y otros significantes con los que ha hecho cadena conforman un campo para analizar el sentido otorgado a las demandas sociales contemporáneas de goce de derechos. Se argüirá que lo que sostiene la relación entre justicia y otros significantes, así como las demandas articuladas en su nombre, es el sujeto del inconsciente. Con base en esto, se descifrará qué corresponde a operaciones de sentido y deseo, y qué atañe al goce, con miras a articular una perspectiva analítica sobre la configuración política contemporánea de la sociedad colombiana.
El consentimiento en sede penal. Propuestas de regulación

Published: July 2021

La problemática que hoy genera la inexistencia de una opinión unánime referido al consentimiento penal, que de algún modo conmine a que los cuerpos normativos penales lo declaren o acojan de manera expresa en su texto; y la verdadera existencia de una laguna cognitiva en nuestro país relacionado con nuestro objeto de estudio, motivan esta investigación.  A partir de la sistematización de los presupuestos teóricos que la sustentan, su fundamentación como causa de atipicidad, justificación o atenuación de la sanción penal y el estudio de Derecho comparado, se identifican tales deficiencias. Como principal resultado, se obtiene una propuesta de regulación de la institución en sede penal, en aras de que constituya una garantía para la seguridad y certidumbre del tráfico jurídico.

Las prácticas docentes inclusivas. Un camino sobre sus incidencias
Authors: Torres José
Published: July 2021

La aparición y consolidación de la inclusión en el quehacer social y sobre todo en el educativo, tienen como propósito reducir la brecha de desigualdades que existen en las sociedades modernas. Las prácticas docentes que se llevan acabo en las aulas de clase, son el principal vínculo educativo para reducir las barreras para el aprendizaje. El presente artículo muestra un estado de conocimiento de las prácticas docentes inclusivas, con una inicidencia entre los años 2010-2020. Los hallazgos permiten realizar una exposición mediante cuatro núcleos analíticos: 1. Evolución del concepto de educación inclusiva, 2. La teoría de las prácticas docentes inclusivas, 3. Actitudes y autoeficacia; y 4. La evaluación de las prácticas para la inclusión. Los resultados muestran que el desarrollo teórico se sigue orientando hacia concretar una definición en común de educación inclusiva, dado que cada región la interpreta de acuerdo con las necesidades de su contexto y las propuestas metodológicas que generan a partir de diversas experiencias en países del continente europeo; ya que aún existen países de Iberoamérica marcados por la desigualdad social y vacíos en el desarrollo de estudios al respecto.

The appearance and consolidation of inclusion in social work and especially in education, have the purpose of reducing the gap of inequalities that exist in modern societies. The teaching practices that take place in the classrooms are the main educational link to reduce barriers to learning. This article shows a state of knowledge of inclusive teaching practices, with an initiation between the years 2010-2020. The findings allow an exposition through four analytical nuclei: 1. Evolution of the concept of inclusive education, 2. The theory of inclusive teaching practices, 3. Attitudes and self-efficacy; and 4. The evaluation of practices for inclusion. The results show that the theoretical development continues to be oriented towards specifying a common definition of inclusive education, given that each region interprets it according to the needs of its context and the methodological proposals generated from various experiences in countries of the European continent; since there are still Latin American countries marked by social inequality and gaps in the development of studies in this regard.
Esbozo de una genealogía del Yo. Una revisión del dispositivo narrativo de la subjetividad
Authors: Salinas Pedro
Published: July 2021

A un nivel psicosocial, la experiencia del yo se encuentra inmersa en un régimen de dispersión y consecuente tensión que rige todos los ámbitos de la cultura humana que vinculan al colectivo con el individuo. En el presente escrito, quisiera abordar la problemática de un yo descentrado, comprendido como consecuencia de una noción moderna del sujeto que fue fuertemente influenciada por Descartes. En el ejercicio cartesiano de diferenciación del entorno y del sí mismo, el yo vio fortalecida su constitución autónoma y autorreflexiva que, en contraste con la noción pre-moderna del sujeto, se caracteriza por su individualidad y subjetividad. Estos rasgos, como será examinado, corresponden a dos órdenes distintivos de la experiencia del yo descentrado. A partir de ahí, se propondrá que el yo, como principal dispositivo narrativo y estético-epistemológico de la modernidad, sufriría un progresivo debilitamiento que sería advertido por primera vez por los aportes de Nietzsche.

At a psychosocial level, the experience of the self is immersed in a regime of dispersion and a consequent tension which rules all scopes of human culture that links the collective with the individual. In the present work, I would like to approach the problematic of a decentered self, understood as a consequence of a modern notion of the subject, which was strongly influenced by Descartes. In the cartesian exercise of differentiation between environment and the oneself, the self was strengthened in its autonomous and self-reflective constitution that, by contrast with the premodern notion of the subject, is characterized for its individuality and subjectivity. As it will be examined, this feature corresponds to two distinctive orders of the experience of the decentered self. From there on, it will be proposed that the self, as the main narrative and aesthetic-ontological apparatus of modernity, would suffer a progressive weakening which would be first noticed by the contributions of Nietzsche.

Waste that is not managed properly can cause the environment to become dirty and cause silting of the river which results in flooding. The amount of waste production is in line with the large number of residents, the higher the population growth rate, the higher and the rate of waste production. Waste management cannot only be done downstream, but also starts from upstream. Many programs have been carried out in waste management, one of which is a waste bank. The waste bank program encourages people to do sorting before depositing inorganic waste in the waste bank. Inorganic waste that can be recycled, such as plastic bottles used for mineral water, can be economically valuable by being put in a tube in a waste bank, while organic waste such as vegetable and fruit residues can be further processed into eco-enzymes.  This activity aims to transfer knowledge and technology for processing organic waste into eco-enzymes, so that the community can participate in preserving the earth. The method of activities carried out was counseling and demonstration. This activity achieved the target in accordance with the objectives; this can be seen from the participation and enthusiasm of the community during the activity.
Cooperative and Teacher Directed Learning Classrooms: Places for the Development of Metacognitive Skills for Reading Proficiency
Authors: Nwosu Kingsley Chinaza , Unachukwu Gabriel Chidi , Hickman Greg P.
Published: July 2021

Introduction.  Persistent abysmal academic achievement among adolescents in Nigerian secondary schools has become a concern among stakeholders in the Nigerian system of education. This, over time, has been linked to poor reading culture and reading skills, worsened by unproductive instructional approaches adopted by teachers for reading proficiency. An investigation into effective instructional approaches to arm adolescents with metacognitive skills for reading proficiency becomes imperative. This study, therefore, investigated the impact of cooperative learning and teacher-directed learning approaches on secondary school students’ development of metacognitive skills for reading proficiency. Method.  We adopted a quasi-experimental research design in our study. One hundred and eighteen early adolescent students were sampled from three public secondary schools in Anambra state. The instrument used in the study is an open-ended metacognitive skill for reading proficiency questionnaire (OMSRPQ). Three operations were used for the experiment: 1) task understanding, 2) strategy understanding, and 3) management of learning process. The sum of these three operations is the overall metacognitive skills of the students. Results.  Our findings showed that students in cooperative integrated reading and composition (CIRC) learning approach differed significantly from those in the teacher-directed instructional (DI) approach and the control group (C1) in task understanding operation F (2, 118) = 8.783, p <.01, strategy understanding F(2,118) = 6.324, p <.01and the overall metacognitive reading skills F(2, 118) = 7.047, p < .01. No significant mean differences occurred among the groups in management of learning process skills F (2,118) = 2.949, p >.05. Adjusted omega squared (est. ω2) test showed large to moderate effect sizes in the operations that were significant. Discussion and Conclusion.  We concluded that metacognitive skills for reading could be better enhanced in cooperative learning approach. Based on these findings, the researchers recommended that CIRC can be used in developing metacognitive skills needed in secondary school reading classrooms.

Introducción.  El objetivo de este estudio es conocer si existen diferencias en atención selectiva y sostenida entre niños con diferentes subtipos de TDAH y niños con trastornos del aprendizaje (TA), para mejorar el diagnóstico diferencial entre TDAH y TA y entre los diferentes subtipos de TDAH. Método.  La muestra estuvo formada por 437 niños que acudieron a un centro de psicología, de los cuales 234 tenían TDAH y 203 TA (en los que se descartó un diagnóstico de TDAH). Se aplicaron pruebas de atención sostenida y selectiva (Caras, d2, EMAV, AGL, CSAT y CPT-II) a los participantes durante su evaluación y se realizaron análisis descriptivos, ANOVAs de un factor y pruebas F planeadas. Resultados. Las diferencias entre los distintos indicadores de las pruebas utilizadas para medir la atención sugieren que los niños con TDAH tienen dificultades en el rendimiento en atención selectiva y sostenida y procesan la información de forma significativamente más lenta que los niños con TA. Discusión y conclusiones.  Los indicadores de algunas de las pruebas utilizadas podrían ser de utilidad para hacer un diagnóstico diferencial entre los niños con TDAH y con TA y para poder establecer un plan de intervención de tratamiento individualizado.

Published: July 2021

For many years, social capital has been the subject of research in various areas and social environments. What is worth diagnosing is not so much its functioning or formation, but its management, i.e. deliberate development aimed at achieving individual or collective benefits. The cultural borderland region of the Racibórz area, especially the town, is a good case for an analysis of such phenomena, because, over the centuries, the town has been part of various administrative and economic regimes and thus has developed forms of social capital independent of state structures. The main research questions in this paper are the following: What remains of them today? Are they subject to management processes?
A suggested design for a tissue level dental implant
Authors: Alhamdani Faaiz Y. , Al-Ghali Basma A.
Published: July 2021

Objectives:

The aim of the study was to test the stress distribution around a newly suggested design for tissue-level dental implant.

Material and Methods:

Newly designed modified reverse buttress thread dental implant is tested for the stress over the surrounding bone. Nine implant dimensions of this design were examined on two types of materials; commercially pure Titanium (TiG4) and Titanium alloy (TIG5). These nine implant dimensions, which can be used in the full dental arch are: (diameter/length; 3.5/11, 4/11, 4/9, 4.5/11, 4.5/9, 5/11, 5/9, 5/7, and 5.5/7 mm). The suggested implant was designed using Autodesk Inventor 202. ANSYS Workbench 2020 R2 was used for meshing and 3D finite element analysis.

Results:

Maximum Von Mises stress over the cortical bone is higher in the TiG5 model in all implant dimensions. The highest stress value was reported in the implant 4/9 mm dimension in both models. TiG5 model has the highest stress values over the cancellous bone. The higher level of stress over the surrounding cortical bone lies at the surface of the cortical bone, whereas the maximum stress over the surrounding trabecular bone was noticed near the tip of the first and second dental implant thread.

Conclusion:

Reasonable levels of stress were reported in the suggested design in both models. However, it would be justifiable to choose the TiG4 model for the suggested tissue level implant with the exclusion of a 4/9 mm dimension to ensure minimal stress over the surrounding cortical bone.
Tranexamic acid to reduce operative blood loss in brain tumor surgery: A meta-analysis

Background:

Major blood loss during neurosurgery may result in a variety of complications, such as potentially fatal hemodynamic instability. Brain tumor and skull base surgery is among the high bleeding risk procedures. Tranexamic acid (TXA) has been found to reduce bleeding events in various fields of medicine.

Methods:

We searched for all randomized controlled trials published in English or Bahasa which compared the use of TXA with placebo in brain tumor surgery. The studies should include adult patients with intracranial tumor who received TXA before skin incision. The primary and secondary outcomes are intraoperative blood loss and the need of transfusion.

Results:

This meta-analysis included a total of 200 patients from three studies. TXA resulted in less blood loss with pooled mean difference of −292.80 (95% CI, −431.63, −153.96,P<0.05). The need of transfusion was not significant between TXA and control group (pooled mean difference −85.36, 95% CI, −213.23 – (42.51), P=0.19).

Conclusion:

TXA reduced the volume of blood loss but did not reduce the need of blood transfusion.
Coil embolization with overlapping horizontal low-profile stents to treat a giant thrombosed fetal posterior cerebral artery aneurysm using contralateral approach through anterior communicating artery: Case report

Background:

The treatment of internal carotid artery (ICA) – posterior communicating artery aneurysms (ICPC aneurysms) is challenging when a fetal posterior cerebral artery (PCA) arises from the saccular neck. This complex angioarchitecture renders endovascular approaches difficult. Giant thrombosed IC-PC aneurysms are also hard to treat by endovascular coiling because its flow-diversion effect is insufficient.

Case Description:

We report the first case of a ruptured giant thrombosed IC-PC aneurysm associated with a fetal PCA that was successfully treated by coil embolization with retrograde overlap horizontal stenting using low-profile stents introduced through the contralateral ICA. The aneurysm was completely occluded and follow-up MRI scans demonstrated the reduction of the aneurysmal size.

Conclusion:

Our technique is advantageous because low-profile stents can be used to treat lesions not accessible with flow-diverter stents due their presence in complex angioarchitectures, and overlap stenting may have flow-diversion effects that can result in the complete occlusion of giant thrombosed aneurysms.

Plants constituents are a reliable source of the remedial need of humanity for ages by being the basis of the traditional medicinal system and often serving as the prototype for designing modern medicine. Several plants are used in traditional medicine for ages without proper administration guidelines in terms of dosages. Several toxicological analyses revealed side-effects of such therapies beyond a specific dose. One such plant is Alstonia scholaris, widely used in numerous traditional medicines to treat diseases like ulcers, asthma, diabetes, etc. The present study investigated the neurotoxic effect of the plant extract through oxidative stress in Swiss albino mice. The treated mice showed anxiety, neophobic and depression-like properties compared to control mice. The biochemical parameters show an increase in Malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration while decreasing the total protein content in different brain regions of treated mice. The Glutathione Reductase (GR) activity shows an increase in treated mice compared to the control one. The study indicates that Alstonia scholaris may cause severe damage to the central nervous system when administered without a proper guideline.
