The Gallstone Ileus, a Retrospective Study and Review of the Literature
Authors: Arslani Nuhi
Published: January 2024

Introduction: Gallstone ileus (GI) is a rare complication of cholelithiasis and is one of the most irregular forms of all mechanical bowel obstructions. It is, however, a more common cause of non-strangulating mechanical small bowel obstruction, accounting for 1% to 4% of all patients and up to 25% in the elderly.

The diagnosis is often delayed since symptoms may be intermittent, and investigations may fail to identify the cause of the obstruction. As a result, gallstone ileus continues to be associated with relatively high rates of morbidity and mortality.

The cornerstone of healing is the removal of the stone that represents obstruction. As is the case with cholelithiasis, women are more frequently affected.

Material and Methods: This article aims to review the incidence of gallstone ileus in our country in the literature, addressing the pathophysiology, clinical presentation, radiological findings, and treatment options. A literature search was done on gallstone ileus for 2005-2018.

Results: The patients in the study presentation were both genders and older. They all came to INP because of abdominal pain and general nausea. All had CRP elevation present. Leukocytosis was present in only 2/3 of patients. AST was elevated in one patient and ALT in 2. All changes in laboratory parameters indicate the instability of marker changes and, consequently, the unreliability of use alone without other diagnostic methods. A CT scan was performed on all three patients, but one still needed to be uploaded to the system at the time of writing.

Conclusions: Ileus due to gallstones is a rare disease. It is an uncommon cause of mechanical small bowel obstruction. It is a rare complication of chronic cholecystitis and occurs when a gallstone passes through a fistula between the gallbladder and small bowel before becoming impacted at the ileocecal valve. The use of radiological imaging is invaluable in the diagnosis of gallstone ileus. These authors recommend a low threshold for investigation. There is evidence for using AXR as a quick first-line investigation; however, CT scanning is a powerful and gold-standard tool to diagnose the condition and guide its management.
Emergency Treatment of Ruptured Abdominal Aneurysm
Authors: Nuellari Edmond , Llambro Maxim
Published: January 2024

Introduction: Abdominal aneurysm is considered a formidable pathological condition that requires prompt treatment. Its progressive increase leads to rupture and massive internal bleeding, which requires the most effective medical care. However, despite the improvement in medical equipment and postoperative care, mortality due to ruptured abdominal aneurysms is still close to 50%, which is primarily related to the severity of the pathology and open surgical intervention.

Materials and Methods: 46 patients diagnosed with rupture of the abdominal aorta took part in the study. Selection criteria were a history of abdominal aortic rupture, conservative/operative treatment for the disease, and absence of other complications (acute renal failure, liver infarction) that could affect the results of the study.

Results: Since January 2018, 46 cases of ruptured AAAs have been diagnosed. In all forty-six cases, surgical intervention was used: open surgery or endovascular technique. All 100% of patients had a previous history of diagnosed abdominal aortic aneurysm, for which they underwent periodic ultrasound examinations.

As a result of the study, it was found that endovascular aortic aneurysm correction is the optimal method for both planned and emergency treatment of aortic aneurysm and its rupture. According to the Cochrane Specialized Register, it was established that endovascular repair is associated with a reduction in early morbidity and mortality after abdominal aneurysm, compared with other methods of surgical treatment. Furthermore, the study found that, unlike open surgery methods, endovascular techniques are associated with a lower risk of complications in the form of intestinal ischemia.

Conclusions: Inferior quality studies and lack of information limit the conclusions of this review. From the statistical data shown in this paper, it can be concluded that there is a difference between endovascular and open methods of treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm rupture. Mortality within the first 30 days after treatment and short-term complications are significantly lower in patients using EVAR. Systemic complications are also more prevalent in patients who were prescribed open surgical treatment.
Current Perception of Nature vs.Nurture Debate among Students at the University of Medicine of Tirana
Authors: Marku Ervin , Miska Xhesika , Neçaj Ledi
Published: January 2024

Introduction: One topic still debated in the scientific community and beyond is the influence of genetic or environmental factors on an individual's behavior. The essence of this debate lies in discussing the role and impact of genetic and environmental factors on an individual's behavior, known otherwise as the nature-nurture debate.

In a survey-type study, we sought to assess perceptions of the nature-nurture argument among first-year technical medical sciences students at the University of Tirana, Albania.

Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using a survey-type questionnaire on a sample of 100 first-year medical university students at the Faculty of Medical Technical Sciences, University of Medicine in Tirana, in April 2023. The questionnaire was based on six specific questions underlying the potential impact of genetic (nature) and environmental factors (nurture) influencing certain types of behavior, such as personality, sexual orientation, and intelligence—or psycho-emotional stress.

Results: According to the analysis of the data collected on our sample of students, 84.9% of them perceive that acquired factors (nurture) influence more than innate factors (nature) in forming personality traits, whereas 15.1% perceive the opposite. After adjusting for potential confounders, environmental factors remained statistically significant compared with genetic factors (odds ratio 1.42, 95% CI 0.65 to 0.97). 

Conclusion: Genetic and sociological research has shown that genetics, life experiences, and environmental factors influence the expression of key traits in shaping behavior. In this study, we confirm the perception of this interaction among medical students. For some aspects of behavior, students are less likely to believe in genetic explanations and more likely to believe in environmental causes.

Published: January 2024

Introduction: Patients with life-threatening injuries are a significant concern in the emergency department (ED). These injured people require timely care, as their lives depend on it, and a longer wait can result in organ failure, irreversible damage, and poor survival outcomes.

The purpose of this research is the evaluation, epidemiology, management, diagnosis, treatment, systematization, and the results obtained for the injured in life-threatening cases with trauma, reducing morbidity, disability, and mortality while increasing survival.

Material and Methods. In this retrospective study, we researched and analyzed the data of patients with critical traumatic injuries in DE treated from January-December 2021

Results. During the study period, we analyzed 75,899 ED patients. Of these, 627 cases, or 0.83%, were severely injured and traumatically admitted as a life-threatening traumatic medical emergency in the resuscitation room. Attacked age were males 507 cases or 80.87% and females 120 cases 19.13% and over 16 were 46 cases or 6.67%. The main problem in the admission of the sick was the injured with disorders of consciousness, shock, cardiac, and respiratory failure, as well as issues at the systemic level.

Authors: Dashi Florian , Qirinxhi Mishel , Muça Aurora , Cecia Arba , Bardhi Norik , Qirinxhi Denis , Alimehmeti Ridvan
Published: January 2024

Introduction: Lipoma is a common benign, slow-growing soft tissue neoplasm. Periosteal lipomas of the proximal radius causing posterior interosseus nerve (PIN) palsy are the rarest. 

Due to specific anatomical relationships, proximal antebrachial lipomas can easily compress PIN. We present a case report and report on the related literature.

Material and Methods: A 55-year-old female was admitted complaining of a progressively growing lump in the anterior-lateral antebrachial region near the left elbow. The recent onset of weakness in finger extension was more evident during manual work. 

MRI showed a well-defined oval lesion in the dorsal aspect of the proximal radius bone with inter-muscular laying between m. supinator et extensor carpi radialis brevis of 7x5x3 cm in diameter. EMG study confirmed PIN compression syndrome.

An en-block extirpation was performed through extensor muscles. PIN and its muscular branches were well preserved. Histological examination confirmed lipoma. The postoperative course was uneventful, and a good recovery was seen within 12 days. 

We revised three other similar cases operated for the same Clinical diagnosis by our team. 

Pertinent literature was reported. 

Discussion: Periosteal radius lipoma related to compression of PIN has rarely been reported in the literature. We say our operative series and the surgical technique. MRI and EMG are the standard diagnostic methods. The intermuscular approach is safe for total tumor removal in experienced hands.

Conclusion: Periosteal lipoma compressing PIN is a rare clinical finding. Total removal may be obtained through an intermuscular approach. Intraoperative monitoring can assist in preserving tiny PIN branches

Published: January 2024

Introduction: Surgical site infections (SSIs) pose a global health concern. While various pathogenic microorganisms can cause SSIs, a predominant causative agent is Staphylococcus aureus, particularly its methicillin-resistant strain (MRSA). MRSA, known for its resistance to multiple antibiotics, significantly complicates treatment options, leading to increased morbidity. In some cases, particularly among patients with pre-existing comorbidities, MRSA infections can prove fatal. Moreover, eradicating MRSA from hospital settings presents a formidable challenge.

This study aims to report on two young, otherwise healthy patients who developed MRSA infections in their surgical wounds during hospitalization.

Case Descriptions: A 22-year-old female patient developed an MRSA infection following an appendectomy and a 12-year-old male patient exhibited similar complications post-orchiopexy. In both cases, MRSA presence was confirmed through microbiological cultures a few days post-surgery. Repeated cultures indicated successful MRSA eradication after isolation and initiation of targeted antibiotic therapy based on antibiograms. Once their general health stabilized, the patients were discharged and continued outpatient antibiotic treatment for a prescribed duration.

Conclusion: These cases emphasize that MRSA infections, typically associated with elderly patients or those with underlying health conditions, can also occur in younger, healthier individuals. Eradicating these infections remains a significant challenge for healthcare facilities encountering MRSA.

Keywords: Staphylococcus aureus, Methicillin-resistant, young patients, Surgical site infections.
Percutaneous Cannulation for Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery: The Safest and Effective Technique for the Future.
Authors: Kuci Saimir , Ibrahimi Alfred , Goga Marsela , Likaj Ermal , Dumani Selman , Kacani Andi , Veshti Altin
Published: January 2024

Introduction:  In recent years, contemporary minimally invasive cardiac surgery techniques have been used in many cardiac surgical clinics.

With the expansion of minimally invasive operations, ECMO, and some interventional therapies, the current cardiac surgical landscape requires a thorough knowledge of peripheral cannulation techniques. A venous cannulation that is not flawlessly performed can lead to serious life-threatening complications in several steps. The technique we describe step by step is the current gold standard in terms of safety and efficacy: from the use of ultrasound for ultrasound-guided puncture to the safe advancement of super stiff guidewires using a sentinel catheter and concluding with smooth insertion of the venous cannula over the stiff guidewire up to the SVC. Moreover, a list of bailout maneuvers to solve complications and a report of institutional clinical experience since adopting this technique are presented.

Conclusion: In our experience, however, the fact is that patients' perceptions and expectations have changed. Patients increasingly ask for a therapeutic approach that leaves the sternum intact. Those doctors who want to meet this new challenge must realize that minimal incisions in cardiac surgery require excellent technical skills. For this reason, doctors should become familiar with current study data.

Birefringence Technique for Evaluating Thermal Stresses in Railroad Rails
Authors: Fadhil Aqeel , Washer Glenn , Poudel Anish
Published: January 2024

This paper discusses the development of an in situ noncontact electromagnetic acoustic transducer (EMAT) nondestructive evaluation technology to determine rail neutral temperature and estimate rail stress in continuous welded rail (CWR). Stresses develop in CWR due to a lack of expansion joints to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction of the rail when ambient temperatures vary over time. The novelty of the work presented is the usage of ultrasonic birefringence properties using EMATs to estimate thermally induced stresses in rails. EMATs produce polarized shear waves propagating through the rail web in the pulse-echo mode. Experimental tests were performed on machined 136RE and 141RE rail material with applied compressive and tensile stresses to explore the stress-birefringence behavior. Two additional sets of experimental tests were conducted on full-size rail sections with in situ surface conditions to study variations in the in situ birefringence and the acoustic stress constant in different rail materials including 115RE rail, 119RE rail, two different 136RE rails, and 141RE rail. The results show a highly linear relationship between the stresses applied and the measured acoustic birefringence.

EU Expert Bodies in Light of the Glyphosate Saga and the Dieselgate Scandal
Authors: Szegedi László
Published: January 2024

Several scandals shed light on the eroding capacity and legitimacy of the Single Market’s scientific decision-making in the current era of constant economic, environmental and societal challenges when the need for solid science has never been greater. A sector-specific nature still characterises the EU law and the Single Market competencies. Yet, the emerging relevance of the EU law’s horizontal evolution inevitably leads us to the cross-sectoral elements of EU expert bodies and scientific decision-making. The purposes of this paper are 1. to describe the evolution of EU expert bodies with the comparison of two relatively diverse policy areas of the EU’s food sector and transportation, which are similarly characterised by the scandals of the glyphosate saga and the Dieselgate scandal; 2. to explore the sector-specific elements of the scientific decision-making of these
Bilateral Cooperation to Promote Sustainable Development in the 21st Century: A Case Study of Hungary and Bangladesh
Authors: Hossain A. N. M. Zakir , Sheikh Mosa Shrabony
Published: January 2024

The European Union (EU) has increasingly focused on democratising innovation and promoting engagement in research to address policy concerns collectively. In the 21st century, attaining sustainable development is a global priority, and governments face complex hurdles in meeting their goals. Alone, unilateral initiatives to encourage socio-economic or political progress are inadequate, needing bilateral or multilateral collaborations to bridge gaps between political and economic interests. Bilateral Investment Treaties (BITs), negotiated since the late 1950s, influence sustainable development aims and share common features despite diverse categorisations. This study, based on secondary data and grey literature, investigates how bilateral relationships shape international cooperation and sectoral priorities in the context of sustainable development goals. Focusing on Bangladesh and Hungary, the study highlights their cooperation in areas like human resource development and energy projects as key milestones towards sustainability. Leveraging a knowledge economy and strategic lessons can contribute to achieving sustainable development, which is particularly crucial in the face of natural disasters. The study’s findings have practical implications for policy guidelines to bolster the Bangladesh–Hungary bilateral relationship for advancing long-awaited sustainable development goals in the 21st century.
Animal Models of Mitochondrial Diseases Associated with Nuclear Gene Mutations
Authors: Averina O. A. , Kuznetsova S. A. , Permyakov O. A. , Sergiev P. V.
Published: January 2024

Mitochondrial diseases (MDs) associated with nuclear gene mutations are part of a large group of inherited diseases caused by the suppression of energy metabolism. These diseases are of particular interest, because nuclear genes encode not only most of the structural proteins of the oxidative phosphorylation system (OXPHOS), but also all the proteins involved in the OXPHOS protein import from the cytoplasm and their assembly in mitochondria. Defects in any of these proteins can lead to functional impairment of the respiratory chain, including dysfunction of complex I that plays a central role in cellular respiration and oxidative phosphorylation, which is the most common cause of mitopathologies. Mitochondrial diseases are characterized by an early age of onset and a progressive course and affect primarily energy-consuming tissues and organs. The treatment of MDs should be initiated as soon as possible, but the diagnosis of mitopathologies is extremely difficult because of their heterogeneity and overlapping clinical features. The molecular pathogenesis of mitochondrial diseases is investigated using animal models: i.e. animals carrying mutations causing MD symptoms in humans. The use of mutant animal models opens new opportunities in the study of genes encoding mitochondrial proteins, as well as the molecular mechanisms of mitopathology development, which is necessary for improving diagnosis and developing approaches to drug therapy. In this review, we present the most recent information on mitochondrial diseases associated with nuclear gene mutations and animal models developed to investigate them.
The Potential and Application of iPSCs in Gene and Cell Therapy for Retinopathies and Optic Neuropathies
Authors: Lapshin E. V. , Gershovich J. G. , Karabelsky A. V.
Published: January 2024

This review focuses on in vitro modeling of diseases and the development of therapeutic strategies using iPSCs for the two most common types of optical pathologies: hereditary neuropathies and retinopathies. Degeneration of retinal ganglion cells and the subsequent optic nerve atrophy leads to various types of neuropathies. Damage to photoreceptor cells or retinal pigment epithelium cells causes various retinopathies. Human iPSCs can be used as a model for studying the pathological foundations of diseases and for developing therapies to restore visual function. In recent years, significant progress has also been made in creating ganglionic and retinal organoids from iPSCs. Different research groups have published data pertaining to the potential of using iPSCs for the modeling of optic neuropathies such as glaucoma, Leber hereditary optic neuropathy, etc., including in the development of therapeutic approaches using gene editing tools.

Published: January 2024

Professionals working with adolescents invest enormous resources and energies to find a tailored approach to improve patients' compliance and promote their access to care. As a re-sult, Panksepp's Primary Emotive Systems (PES) can be useful instruments to develop tai-lored treatment plans specific for this age. We aimed to find a PES specific for adolescence, correlated to psychopathological fea-tures, in order to guide mental health professionals in approaching and treating adolescent psy-chiatric patients. This is a cross-sectional study. We recruited 156 patients seeking help during their first evaluation and divided the sample into two different age groups: 114 were 14-19 years old (ADO) and 42 were 20-65 years old (ADULT). They performed a psychopatholog-ical evaluation. We found strong associations between PLAY PES and psychopathological features in the ADO group (not in the ADULT group). Then we sub-divided the ADO and the ADULT group in HIGH-PLAY(HP) and LOW-PLAY(LP) and performed a One-Way ANOVA. In the ADO group, we found significant differences between HP and LP group psychopathological features, but the same was not found in the ADULT group. PLAY is an emotive system that is highly correlated with psychopathological features in our sample of adolescents seeking help. This correlation was not found in ADULT patients. For these results, we suggested PLAY can be a useful instrument to treat help-seeking adoles-cents with mental health issues.

Purpose – This study aims to develop a teaching model of the Malay language for non-native and foreign speakers in schools. Implementing this model can assist educators in teaching the Malay language to students who do not use it as their first language in everyday use.
Methodology – This study used a qualitative approach to develop teaching models for non-native and foreign Malay speakers. Interviews were conducted with 27 teachers and 23 stakeholders who are experts in teaching the Malay language, especially in teaching non-native speakers. A prototype model was developed thematically as a result of interviews using ATLAS.ti 22. Further, the prototype model was used by ten teachers from primary, secondary, and international schools in their teaching.
Findings – This study has succeeded in developing a model for teaching the Malay language to non-native speakers and foreigners that includes five elements: teaching strategies, individual differences, input, social, and motivation. This model strongly emphasises instruction involving interaction, communication, and bilateral relations as a medium for students’ language acquisition and meaningful input. Verbal interaction between teachers and students can stimulate and improve students’ language skills in learning Malay.
Significance – This model can help teachers teach the Malay language to non-native speakers and foreigners with a greater focus onachieving learning objectives. This model is expected to expand the usage, cultivate interest, and facilitate teaching the Malay language in educational institutions.

Purpose – With the evolving demands of the global and Chinese economies, cultivating critical thinking and creativity has become imperative for social and economic development. However, contemporary educational practices have not kept pace with thisessential need. This study examines the effects of project-based learning and project-based flipped classrooms on critical thinking and creativity in higher vocational colleges. Moreover, this research delves into the disparity and comparative analysis between the twoapproaches.
Methodology – A between-group quasi-experimental study was designed. Data were collected from 120 respondents from one highervocational college in Shanxi District using cluster sampling. The Ennis-Weir Critical Thinking test and District creativity test wereused to collect data for further analysis. Data were analysed using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and paired-sample t-test. Pairedsample t-tests are employed to test the effects of two teaching methods, while ANCOVA is used to compare the discrepancy between the two methods. With the combination of paired sample t-test and ANCOVA, the more effective teaching method can be determined.
Findings – The results indicated that project-based learning and flipped classrooms significantly affected critical thinking and creativity. Besides, the project-based flipped classrooms had a larger effect on critical thinking and creativity, proving to be a more effective teaching approach to transform the present curriculum pedagogy.
Significance – This study theoretically integrates class activities into higher-order thinking skills and guides teachers and educators tocultivate talents in higher vocational education.
UNDERSTANDING MOTIVATION LOSS AND BEHAVIORAL DISENGAGEMENT OF TERTIARY STUDENTS IN FLEXIBLE LEARNING: A SELF-DETERMINATION THEORY PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Española Raymon , Jerome A. Ouano
Published: January 2024

Purpose – Flexible learning is a delivery modality associated with positive outcomes, but its use at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic has been associated with dark student experiences, such as poor interest and dishonesty among students. To understand how and why many tertiary students lost their motivation and became disengaged in pandemic-era flexible learning, this qualitative research was designed.
Methodology – A total of 27 tertiary students in five separate groups volunteered to be interviewed. A focus group discussion protocol was developed based on the propositions of Self-Determination Theory (SDT) and this protocol produced about eight hours of narrative data in audio form. The researcher performed thematic analysis to make sense of the transcriptions of the data, and the initial codes and themes were subjected to an external audit for purposes of methodological integrity.
Findings – Eight need-thwarting behaviors of key social agents emerged, such as instructors’ rigid and negligent behaviors, peers’indifferent and selfish behaviors, and burdensome behaviors of people at home. These behaviors were tied to participants’ cognitiveappraisals of psychological need frustration that emerged in eight themes, which comprised having problems balancing school and home obligations, believing that outputs were misevaluated, and feelings of disconnection from peers. These appraisals could be related to seven themes of motivation and engagement issues reported by participants, notably amotivation, poor concentration, low effort, and dishonesty.
Significance – The findings highlight the importance of addressing these need frustrations in order to improve tertiary students’ motivation and engagement in academic tasks delivered through flexible learning in higher education.

At present, modern information technologies are developing very rapidly. A lot of different software tools are being created to improve and simplify people's lives. This is especially true in the context of distance learning. In the context of online learning, the traditional form of conducting dictations needs to be transformed. Therefore, it is possible to propose automation of the process of conducting and checking dictations using software. The paper analyzes scientific research and publications of the current state of language synthesis technologies and text similarity testing. With the help of C# and the language synthesis libraries of Microsoft, Google, Amazon, software has been developed that allows the user to listen and type text, and then automatically check it with the initial sample. The conducted testing for different types of errors showed the possibility and expediency of development the system for conducting and checking dictations. Follow-up activities will focus on improving the effectiveness of the program. The use of such programs will help improve the organization of conducting and checking dictations during distance learning and self-training of students.

Authors: Matamala Jose , Barrera Lagos Alba
Published: January 2024

El acoso laboral es una forma de violencia que tiene por objeto la degradación moral y psicológica. En el ámbito de la minería, la temática ha sido escasamente investigada. Objetivo: Analizar las formas del acoso laboral a partir de las vivencias de trabajadores/ as de la minería del cobre y su vinculación con las características de la organización del trabajo. Método: Investigación cualitativa con un diseño narrativo, desde la Psicodinámica del Trabajo. Resultados: se realizaron 20 entrevistas semiestructuradas de las que emergieron cuatro formas de acoso laboral: 1) Disciplinar la subjetividad productiva, 2) Agobiar el trabajo vivo, amenazar con ser sobrante 3) Incitación a la transgresión de la seguridad prescrita y 4) El rechazo y la degradación de la fuerza de trabajo femenina. Discusión: La organización del trabajo minero recurre a la brusquedad para sobrellevar las exigencias del trabajo, la promoción de la desvalorización del factor humano, la restricción de los límites morales a través de las acciones paradojales sobre la seguridad en el trabajo o la predominancia del cinismo viril como vía de la competencia hostil hacia las mujeres. Estos aspectos constriñen la subjetividad minera y demarcan su sufrimiento en el trabajo.
