Authors: Vereshchynska A. P. , Urbanovych A. M.
Published: June 2024

Цукровий діабет 2 типу (ЦД2) - це метаболічне захворювання, яке характеризується системними ураженнями та призводить до хронічних ускладнень. Одним з поширених мікросудинних ускладнень ЦД2 є діабетична хвороба нирок (ДХН). Захворювання щитоподібної залози (ЩЗ) та ЦД2 взаємопов’язані та двонаправлені ендокринні розлади. Пацієнти із ЦД2 можуть мати різноманітні структурні зміни в ЩЗ, що вимагають оцінки за допомогою ультразвукового дослідження (УЗД). Крім того, зміни функціонального стану нирок прямо впливають на роботу ЩЗ, проте немає достатньо інформації про взаємозв’язок саме ДХН та морфологічних змін ЩЗ. 
Мета - дослідити особливості структурних змін ЩЗ у пацієнтів із ЦД2 та ДХН.
Матеріали і методи. У дослідженні взяло участь 125 пацієнтів із ЦД2 та ДХН, які перебували на стаціонарному лікуванні у ЛОДКЛДЕЦ в період з лютого 2022 р. по квітень 2023 р. Відповідно до ступеня ризику прогресування ДХН сформовано 4 групи, та проведено УЗД ЩЗ з метою обчислення об’єму та оцінки структури залози. Статистичні порівняння проводили за допомогою t-тестів незалежних вибірок для даних із нормальним розподілом і χ2-тестів для відсотків.
Результати. Виявлено збільшення об’єму ЩЗ відповідно до стадії прогресування ДХН (17,24±4,01, 18,36±30, 20,06±4,21 см3, р < 0,05). Доведено пряму кореляцію між ІМТ та об’ємом ЩЗ (r = 0,013; 0,137 та 0,85 відповідно до груп). Спостерігався позитивний кореляційний зв’язок у всі групах між креатиніном та об’ємом ЩЗ (r = 0,094; 0,372; 0,045, p < 0,01), а також між САК й об’ємом ЩЗ (r = 0,004; 0,097; 0,552, p < 0,01 відповідно). Крім того було відзначено негативний кореляційний зв’язок між рШКФ та об’ємом ЩЗ           (r=-0,278; -0,351; -0,362; р<0,01). Підтверджено прямий вплив збільшення рівня ТТГ на об’єм ЩЗ (r = 0,291; 0,231; 0,245, <0,05)  у всіх групах відповідно. Частка пацієнтів із вузловими утвореннями ЩЗ становила (36,8%, 51,5%, 68,8%, р < 0,05) та з ознаками АІТ (22,4 %, 18,2 %, 31,2%) у всіх групах відповідно.
Висновки. У пацієнтів із ЦД2 відповідно до ризику прогресування ДХН вірогідно збільшувався об’єм й поширеність вузлів ЩЗ, тоді як частота виявлення ознак АІТ була незначною.

Authors: Bjarnadóttir Margrét Vilborg , Anderson David , Anderson Kelley M , Aljwfi Omar , Peluso Alina , Ghannoum Adam , Balba Gayle , Shara Nawar
Published: July 2024

Background

The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated telehealth adoption across disease cohorts of patients. For many patients, routine medical care was no longer an option, and others chose not to visit medical offices in order to minimize COVID-19 exposure. In this study, we take a comprehensive multidisease approach in studying the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on health care usage and the adoption of telemedicine through the first 12 months of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Objective

We studied the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on in-person health care usage and telehealth adoption across chronic diseases to understand differences in telehealth adoption across disease cohorts and patient demographics (such as the Social Vulnerability Index [SVI]).

Methods

We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 6 different disease cohorts (anxiety: n=67,578; depression: n=45,570; diabetes: n=81,885; kidney failure: n=29,284; heart failure: n=21,152; and cancer: n=35,460). We used summary statistics to characterize changes in usage and regression analysis to study how patient characteristics relate to in-person health care and telehealth adoption and usage during the first 12 months of the pandemic.

Results

We observed a reduction in in-person health care usage across disease cohorts (ranging from 10% to 24%). For most diseases we study, telehealth appointments offset the reduction in in-person visits. Furthermore, for anxiety and depression, the increase in telehealth usage exceeds the reduction in in-person visits (by up to 5%). We observed that younger patients and men have higher telehealth usage after accounting for other covariates. Patients from higher SVI areas are less likely to use telehealth; however, if they do, they have a higher number of telehealth visits, after accounting for other covariates.

Conclusions

The COVID-19 pandemic affected health care usage across diseases, and the role of telehealth in replacing in-person visits varies by disease cohort. Understanding these differences can inform current practices and provides opportunities to further guide modalities of in-person and telehealth visits. Critically, further study is needed to understand barriers to telehealth service usage for patients in higher SVI areas. A better understanding of the role of social determinants of health may lead to more support for patients and help individual health care providers improve access to care for patients with chronic conditions.

Authors: Ma Yiran , Zhuang Xueyi
Published: June 2024

Elucidating the relationship between economic growth and CO2 emissions helps promote the coordinated and synergistic development of the economy and the environment. This study utilizes the Tapio decoupling model to analyze the decoupling relationship between economic growth rate and CO2 emissions in 14 cities of Liaoning Province from 2005 to 2020. Additionally, a model is established with the aim of determining CO2 reduction targets for achieving strong or weak decoupling states. Results showed that although most cities showed a strong or weak decoupling state, the decoupling performance in specific year was not ideal, the proportion of negative decoupling increased from 2017 to 2020. Liaoning Province faces significant challenges in decoupling economic growth rate from CO2 emissions, it needs to reduce its CO2 emissions (CE) by 5659.33 107 Kg or 5397.80 107 Kg to achieve strong or weak decoupling, respectively. Among the 14 cities, 8 cities have not achieved strong or weak decoupling. Cities such as Anshan, Yingkou, and Benxi face the greatest challenges, with a minimum required reduction of 25.72% in CE, 41.77% in Carbon Emissions per Capita, and 16.62% in Carbon Emissions per Unit of GDP. The research results can provide theoretical support for improving energy efficiency.

Authors: Elkhlifi Farid , Elbakkali Mohamed , Chetto Ouiam
Published: June 2024

Citrus is an economically important fruit crop with a long history of cultivation worldwide, and many citrus varieties are grown extensively in Morocco, both for domestic consumption and export. Nevertheless, the genetic diversity of this genus in Morocco has not been reported upon. Our objective was to explore phenotypic variations in grapefruit and pomelo genotypes for targeted breeding, enhancing key traits, and identifying opportunities for genetic improvement. We emphasize practical implications and outline future research directions for developing improved citrus varieties. This present study physiochemically analyzes eight grapefruit (Citrus paradisi) and two pomelo (Citrus maxima) cultivars to assess the genetic variability of these fruits’ physicochemical characteristics. The results revealed significant variance among the genotypes for all traits. For example, the phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) was higher than genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) for all the traits. Moreover, a high degree of heritability was recorded for seed number, β-carotene, vitamin C, juice yield (%), total soluble solids, titratable acidity, maturity index, fruit diameter, and fruit weight, whereas limited heritability was observed for fruit length, peel thickness, and segment number per fruit. The high genetic advance scores corresponded to the high degree of heritability estimates for seed number per fruit, β-carotene, juice yield, and vitamin C, suggesting the existence of additive genetic effects. Our principal component analysis (PCA) identified four components with cumulative variance of 93.20%, while hierarchical cluster analysis grouped the collection into five clusters. In conclusion, phenotypic distinctions among grapefruit and pomelo genotypes reveal opportunities for genetic enhancement through selection or hybridization. Varied traits, including seed count, vitamin C, beta-carotene, and juice yield, across genotypes suggest potential avenues for targeted breeding and practical applications in diverse citrus varieties.

Authors: Wahid A. Syaripuddin , Purwanti Sri , Pakiding Wempie
Published: June 2024

Guanidino acetic acid is a precursor of creatine which is synthesized from the amino acids glycine and arginine by transferring the amidino group from arginine to glycine, catalyzed by the enzyme L-arginine: glycine amidine transferase (AGAT) which takes place in the kidneys and pancreas, while betaine is known as a group donor methyl which functions in many metabolic processes such as energy metabolism, protein synthesis, carnitine and creatine. This research aims to determine the effect of adding Guanidino Acetic Acid (GAA) and betaine as feed additives in improving the performance and meat quality of broiler chickens. This research used 100 broiler chickens (DOC) with 6 chickens per unit which were reared for 35 days. The experimental design used was a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 5 treatments and 4 replications. Treatment consisted of P0 (Commercial feed,) P1 (Commercial feed + 0.06% GAA and no Betaine), P2 (Commercial feed + 0.06% GAA + 0.01% Betaine), P3 (Commercial feed + 0.12 % GAA and no Betaine), P4 (Commercial ration + 0.12% GAA + 0.01% Betaine). The parameters observed were performance, commercial carcass and muscle histomorphology. The results of the study showed that the addition of GAA and betaine had a real effect (P<0.05) and improved the performance of commercial carcasses and showed a better response to muscle histomorphology. The conclusion was that the addition of GAA 0.12% and betaine 0.01% through feed could improve the performance, commercial carcasses and muscle histomorphology of broiler chickens.

Abortion Due to Fetal Defects
Authors: Abdullah Arifin , Binti Hassan 'Affaf
Published: June 2024

Abortion is a word that symbolizes a crime in which the perpetrator must be punished because it is considered to have taken away a human being's right to life. However, sometimes abortion has to be carried out because if the pregnancy continues, the mother's life will be at stake due to the disability suffered by the occupant of her womb. Defects experienced by the fetus must be declared by a recognized medical expert in the field of pregnancy. This research question is how the laws and fatwas from Malaysian mufti clerics conclude the legal status of abortion due to fetal defects. In this research the author uses library research methods and is normative juridical in nature. Malaysia does not have specific laws governing abortion, so everything related to abortion will refer to Penal Code Section 312-316 (Act 574). Dr. Zulkifli Mohamad Al-Bakri, former Minister of Religion and Mufti of the 7th Federal Region stated in an article uploaded to Bayan Linnas No. 68 states that abortion is divided into two laws, namely mandatory if it has not reached the age of 120 days and haram if it has reached the age of 120 days or more unless the fetus being impregnated threatens the mother's life then it is permitted. Here it can be concluded that abortion is permitted if there is harm to the mother. If there is no harm, it is prohibited and forbidden.

Authors: Fadhli Muhajirul , Nurkhalis Nurkhalis
Published: July 2024

Promiscuity between men and women becoming a popular topic in modern society has resulted in the increasing pregnancy and abortion cases among the youths. This condition may lead to disruption in the order of the society. This article focuses on Imam Fakhruddin Al-Razi’s perspective in his book Mafatih Al-Ghaib about Prophet Yusuf (AS) resistance to Zulaikha’s seduction mentioned in the Quran. This study uses a qualitative approach with textual analysis as the method. The researcher conducted an in-depth analysis of the exemplary values reflected in the Prophet Yusuf’s (AS) behaviours in abstaining from immoral acts. The finding of the study shows that the Prophet Yusuf (AS) did three major acts in refraining himself from committing zina (adultery). First, mentioning the name of Allah SWT as a way to remember God's presence regardless of when and where. Secondly, resisting with all his might and even overcoming formidable obstacles, and finally, migrating to a new place. Prophet Yusuf (AS) is a religious figure who embodies noble and exemplary values that can establish a more moral and ethical society.
