Published: December 2024

Objective: The gram-negative bacterium Vibrio cholera is the cause of the acute infectious bacterial illness cholera. It often spreads via ingesting contaminated food or water. Diarrhea and severe dehydration are symptoms of cholera. It can be lethal within hours if untreated. A fresh cholera outbreak struck many Iraqi cities in 2022 based on the World Health Organization's verified data. Methodology: A total 32 instances in all were recorded in the Medical City in Baghdad between June and November 2022, with the causal agent being found in stool samples from individuals who had been diagnosed as being infected. Distribution of the collected data is based on age and gender. Additionally, the isolated bacteria were tested for susceptibility to a variety of antibiotics, including Ciprofloxacin, Tetracycline, Ampicillin, Trimethoprim, and Supremethoprim. Statistics were applied to the obtained data. Results: Male were shown to have 55% more infections than female, who had 45%. Regarding demographics, it mostly targets the 22–42 age bracket. The greatest instances of cholera occurred in July and August, with the infection rising in the summer more than in the autumn. Statistics revealed that each antibiotic's sensitivity and resistance regardless of the patient's age and gender. The bacterial isolates were sensitive to Ciprofloxacin and Tetracycline. And resistant to other tested antibiotics. Conclusion: The antibiotic sensitivity of cholera was regardless to age and gender. Further studies needed to study the disease distribution according to geographical area in Baghdad as well as study the medical profile of infected people. Study sensitivity of the infected bacteria to other recent antibiotics is also recommended.
The Effect of Computers and Means of Communication on Students' Athletic Performance in Physical Training

Consequently, the following conclusions could be drawn from the research of the sources provided. Multimedia is a relatively new concept in the teaching and learning process, and different people have given it varied definitions. Some individuals only connect multimedia with computer-based education. But without any doubt it goes beyond this. The word ‘multi’ in multimedia means ‘many’, this has a implication that many media are combined together to form one media of teaching and learning which is done through use of the PC [1, 2, 11, 13]. The pc develops into function as the compiler. The other word that would be used is ‘interconnection’ of different media to form a single medium. This is capable of being talked about in details later. “Multimedia” is a phrase which may be defined as one that is currently popular among educational technologists. Unless its meaning is specified, the term may mean “a wise blend of different mass media including print, audio and video” or it will mean the development of computer technologies that are mass-produced and yet still provide options for individual utilization when it comes to acquiring knowledge. In other words, multimedia combines various forms of learning into an academic device that allows the plurality of approaches to curriculum delivery. “Multimedia is that the enthralling interconnection of hardware and software which allows one to use video, animation, audio, graphics and test resources to create competent presentations for a reasonable desktop”. “Multimedia is defined as the system that includes or can include text, pictures, sound, animation and video, of which one or several are structured in some kind of program”. Multimedia of today may well be an intricately designed and executed blend of words, graphics, music, texts and visuals, animation and video. as soon as one permits an user or the viewer of a multimedia project to control ‘what’, ‘when’ and ‘how’ of the weather that are being brought and presented then it becomes hypermedia.

Authors: AL-Khateeb Dalia Sadiq Mahdi , Sepahvand Heshmatollah
Published: December 2024

Multi-component reactions (MCRs), one of the most powerful approaches to synthesizing complex structures from the fastest path, have grabbed much attention and have recently been used to functionalize the surface of nanomaterials. Here, we focus on an isocyanide-based multi- component reaction for one-pot functionalization of the graphene oxide surface. This led to α- hydroxy amide decorated graphene oxide with the ability to immobilize Gold nanoparticles and serve as a neoteric catalytic system. This nanocatalyst was characterized by means of SEM, TEM, ICP-OES, FTIR, XRD, Raman, and BET techniques. This employed multifunctional nanostructure as an efficient and recyclable heterogeneous aerobic catalyst for the oxidation of primary and secondary aliphatic and aromatic alcohols to their aldehydes and ketones in water at mild temperature in good to excellent yields. Further, this method showed that recycling of heterogeneous catalysts has a high possibility of being re-used with their performances as it was new with no sign of gold leaching.

Published: December 2024

Renal hydatidosis is a rare condition, constituting less than 3% of all hydatid cases. It can mimic common urological conditions, such as staghorn calculi, leading to diagnostic challenges. We present a case of renal hydatidosis initially suspected as a staghorn calculus. A 56-year-old woman presented with a one-year history of progressive right-sided lumbar pain and intermittent hematuria. Imaging revealed a staghorn calculus with significant pelvicalyceal dilation. Laparoscopic surgery for stone removal uncovered multiple calcified hydatid cysts. Postoperative hydatid serology was positive, confirming renal hydatidosis. The patient was treated with albendazole, and a favorable clinical outcome was achieved. This case highlights the importance of considering hydatid disease as a differential diagnosis for renal stones, especially in endemic regions, to ensure appropriate surgical management.
Open Repair of a Late Type IA Endoleak after Endovascular Aneurysm Repair for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm: A Case Report
Authors: Lee Seock Yeol
Published: December 2024

A 70-year-old man presented with a late Type Ia endoleak following an endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) procedure for an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) performed at my institution 10 years ago. An additional aortic extension cuff was placed above the previously implanted aortic stent graft using an endovascular approach. Despite this intervention, the Type Ia endoleak persisted, and it was concluded that further endovascular treatments would be insufficient, necessitating surgical repair. The patient subsequently underwent open repair surgery due to the risk of rupture. The procedure involved removal of the stent graft, aneurysmectomy, and replacement with a bifurcated aortoiliac graft. Additionally, a suprapubic femoro-femoral crossover bypass surgery was performed to resolve the intimal damage to the left common iliac artery that occurred during stent graft removal. Open repair offers a definitive solution for complex endoleaks when endovascular methods are ineffective. However, the removal of the stent graft can result in arterial intimal injury, necessitating additional measures such as a suprapubic femoro-femoral crossover bypass to ensure adequate blood flow.

Published: December 2024

Cleft lips and palates are congenital anomalies affecting the mouth and face. For fully edentulous patients with a cleft palate, crafting complete dentures is particularly challenging. These dentures, which incorporate an obturator and extend into the palate, must be meticulously designed to address issues related to appearance, speech, swallowing, and chewing. Treatment for cleft lip and palate aims to restore function, speech, and aesthetics through the use of fixed prostheses, removable prostheses, and implants. The approach should follow key principles of oral rehabilitation, including maintaining proper physiology, stability, aesthetics, hygiene, and considering patient expectations. To ensure the durability of prosthetic solutions, it is crucial to respect both the periodontal and dental tissues and the biomechanics of the prosthesis. Palatogram is an effective and straightforward technique for assessing and verifying palatal contours, which helps in addressing speech deficiencies related to affected sounds. Managing completely edentulous adults with cleft palates, particularly those who have not undergone surgical intervention, presents a significant challenge for prosthodontists. This case report explores the use of a conventional complete denture for a cleft palate patient, utilizing the palatogram technique to precisely record the palatal contours, the neutral zone technique to optimize denture stability by aligning forces in harmony with oral musculature, and monoplane teeth to reduce lateral forces and enhance denture stability. Together, these techniques aim to improve speech, mastication, and comfort, providing a functional and aesthetic prosthesis suited to the patient’s unique anatomical needs. This case demonstrates the successful rehabilitation of an edentulous cleft palate patient using a conventional complete denture with specialized techniques to address the unique anatomical and functional challenges presented. The neutral zone technique, monoplane teeth arrangement, and palatogram technique were crucial in achieving a stable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing denture. These methods helped optimize denture retention and stability, improve phonetics, and enhance masticatory efficiency, providing the patient with a significant improvement in quality of life and self-confidence. For patients unable to pursue more invasive and costly implant-supported options, such techniques offer a viable and effective solution for complete denture fabrication, allowing for functional and aesthetic rehabilitation within economical constraints.
The last smallpox outbreaks in the world – eradication efforts in Somalia – selected memories of a WHO field epidemiologist.
Authors: Hanson Stefan
Published: December 2024

Somalia was the last country in the world with smallpox. The government tried to control smallpox through mass vaccination in the 1970s. This was not successful. Contributing to this was a nomadic, highly mobile population and resistance to vaccination. The low vaccination coverage led to importations from neighboring countries, Kenya and Ethiopia and increased transmission inside the country. There was a major outbreak in Mogadishu in August 1976, which continued up to January 1977. It was followed by additional outbreaks in the south of the country, mainly in the area between the Juba and Shabelle rivers, particularly in Baydhabo district. The control method was then shifted to the regular WHO approach of surveillance, containment and ring-vaccination. A reward of 200 Somali shillings was introduced for any new reported smallpox case. Surveillance was intensified. This led to a sharp increase in reported cases in June 1977 – a peak was reached in the middle of July 1977. Then 25 experienced WHO field epidemiologists arrived. I was one of them and was posted to Gedo one of the regions, which still had smallpox. Transmission was gradually brought under control. At the beginning of August, it was clear that transmission mainly consisted of spread between small nomadic groups. These outbreaks were difficult to find and had to be located by temporary searchers sent out on foot. By the end of November there were still five pending outbreaks in Gedo. I give an account of what working in a tough, sometimes hostile area entailed and how we solved the problems encountered there. Those were the last smallpox cases in Gedo. The success was to a large extent dependent on close cooperation with the local people, particularly the camel herders. Without their engagement smallpox would not have been eradicated so quickly in Gedo and thereby not in Somalia.
Can teaching transform underprivileged children´s situation by improving their quality of life? Some experiences through a teacher´s lens
Authors: Abdikani Maryama
Published: December 2024

This article reflects on my six-month teaching experience at the Galkayo Education Center for Peace and Development, an institution dedicated to providing educational opportunities to marginalized communities, with a particular emphasis on girls and women. Situated in a region frequently impacted by conflict and social inequality, the Center serves as a beacon of hope, striving to dismantle the barriers that prevent access to education.
Throughout my time there, I encountered a range of challenges, including significant resource limitations, inadequate infrastructure, and entrenched cultural norms that often prioritize traditional roles over educational pursuits for girls. These obstacles tested my adaptability and resilience as an educator. Yet, amidst these difficulties, I witnessed remarkable stories of student empowerment and academic growth.
The article delves into the diverse backgrounds of the students, illustrating their unique challenges and aspirations. It highlights how education not only equips them with knowledge but also fosters self-confidence and agency, enabling them to challenge societal norms and envision brighter futures.
By examining these experiences through a teacher's lens, the article poses a critical question: can teaching genuinely transform the situations of underprivileged children by improving their quality of life? It argues that education serves as a catalyst for change, suggesting that when given the right support and opportunities, students can transcend their circumstances and contribute positively to their communities. Ultimately, this reflection underscores the profound impact that dedicated teaching can have in fostering resilience and hope in even the most challenging environments.
THE MEDIATING ROLE OF HEDONIC CONSUMPTION AND MATERIALISM IN THE EFFECT OF THE CONSCIENTIOUSNESS PERSONALITY TRAIT ON ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIOUS CONSUMPTION
Authors: Özsalman Emre , Sever Sami , Çatı Kahraman
Published: December 2024

The transition from a production society to a consumption society has increased the destruction of the world's ecosystem. However, a growing number of customers are making efforts to lessen the impact of their purchases on the environment. To identify the determinants of influence on purchasing behavior, the mediating role of materialism and hedonic consumption in the relationship between conscientiousness and environmentally conscious consumption was investigated in this study. Quantitative research was used to collect data from 562 people through a survey technique. While environmentally conscious consumption and hedonism were investigated in one dimension, materialism was investigated in the dimensions of luxury tendency and feeling of deprivation, and the personality trait of conscientiousness was investigated in the dimensions of being planned and careful. Results of the study reveal that the luxury consumption tendency has a mediating impact on the relationship between sub-dimensions of conscientiousness personality traits (being careful, being planned) and environmentally conscious consumption behavior.

Published: December 2024

A síndrome do impacto no ombro (SIO) é uma condição inflamatória e degenerativa caracterizada pela compressão mecânica de estruturas no espaço umerocoracoacromial. Comumente afeta indivíduos entre 40 e 50 anos, mas também ocorre em adultos jovens devido a atividades laborais e esportivas. A SIO é a afecção mais prevalente da cintura escapular. Diagnóstico precoce e tratamento adequado são essenciais para prevenir a progressão da doença. Este estudo apresenta evidências recentes,  modelos de tratamento, destacando a fisioterapia e a parte da ortopedia no manejo conservador da SIO. Foi realizada uma revisão da literatura científica abrangendo livros e artigos de periódicos nacionais e internacionais. O tratamento conservador da SIO inclui analgésicos, anti-inflamatórios e fisioterapia, sendo esta última crucial para a recuperação funcional. A fisioterapia não apenas alivia a dor e melhora a mobilidade, mas também educa os pacientes sobre posturas e atividades a serem evitadas. Técnicas como terapia manual, exercícios de fortalecimento e estabilização, e modalidades eletroterápicas têm mostrado eficácia significativa. A abordagem conservadora é amplamente utilizada e eficaz, com a fisioterapia sendo a modalidade mais indicada. A escolha do tratamento deve ser personalizada, considerando a fase da doença e a resposta do paciente. Nos casos em que o tratamento conservador não é suficiente, a cirurgia pode ser considerada. Um plano de tratamento multifacetado pode otimizar os resultados e melhorar a qualidade de vida dos pacientes com SIO.

Published: December 2024

As doenças pulmonares intersticiais (DPIs) são constituídas de um grupo heterogêneo de condições caracterizadas por inflamação e fibrose progressiva do parênquima pulmonar, afetando principalmente os alvéolos, o interstício e os capilares pulmonares. Estas doenças apresentam etiologias diversas, incluindo fatores ambientais, ocupacionais, doenças autoimunes e causas idiopáticas, como a fibrose pulmonar idiopática (FPI), a forma mais estudada e prevalente. A FPI é associada ao padrão histológico de pneumonia intersticial usual (PIU), cuja identificação é frequentemente realizada por meio da tomografia computadorizada de alta resolução (TCAR), considerada padrão-ouro no diagnóstico.
As exacerbações agudas, frequentes na FPI, configuram-se como complicações graves que se manifestam por deterioração súbita da função respiratória, com alta mortalidade, frequentemente superior a 50% em três meses. O manejo dessas exacerbações requer integração multidisciplinar e estratégias terapêuticas que incluem suporte ventilatório, corticosteroides e, em alguns casos, imunossupressores. Terapias emergentes, como antifibróticos e biológicos direcionados, demonstram potencial, mas ainda carecem de validação clínica robusta.
Os avanços em biomarcadores e nas técnicas "ômicas", como a proteômica, têm fornecido perspectivas promissoras para a personalização do diagnóstico e do tratamento. No entanto, desafios persistem, como a padronização de critérios diagnósticos e o acesso limitado a terapias em alguns contextos. A sistematização do conhecimento sobre DPIs e suas complicações, aliada a esforços contínuos em pesquisa, é essencial para melhorar os desfechos clínicos e a qualidade de vida dos pacientes, tornando-se um pilar fundamental para o avanço na abordagem dessas doenças.

Introdução: O Treponema pallidum é uma bactéria responsável por causar a sífilis. Essa condição pode ser transmitida por via sexual, sanguínea e vertical. A sífilis gestacional, se não realizada o tratamento adequado, pode acarretar em repercussões materno-infantil. A sífilis congênita é uma condição onde o feto já está infectado por essa transmissão vertical, possibilitando um aumento da morbimortalidade. O pré-natal adequado é recomendado para prevenção dessas condições. Objetivo: Analisar a possíveis complicações que a sífilis gestacional pode acarretar, além de analisar a importância do pré-natal adequado para prevenção dessas complicações. Método: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa dos últimos 5 anos, do período de 2019 a 2024, utilizando as bases de dados da Literatura Latino–Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS) e BDENF. Os descritores utilizados foram: "pré-natal" "adequado" "prevenção". Foram encontrados 33 artigos, sendo eles submetidos aos critérios de seleção. Os critérios de inclusão foram artigos que se relacionavam à proposta estudada e que foram disponibilizados na íntegra. Os critérios de exclusão foram relatos de caso, artigos que não se relacionavam à proposta estudada e que foram disponibilizados na forma de resumo. Resultados e Discussão: A SG requer intervenção imediata, no intuito de reduzir a transmissão para o feto. Nesse sentido, a identificação, por meio do acompanhamento pré-natal adequado, no mínimo 6 consultas, é importante para o rastreamento dessa condição e, se identificado, iniciado o tratamento, com objetivo de impedir a infecção fetal, se ainda não infectado, ou se já infectado, minimizar os danos. Essa infecção pode acarretar em complicações como aborto, obito fetal, compromeitmento auditivo, fisico e visual. Conclusão: Nessa perspectiva, nota-se a importância do pré-natal para o rastreamento e tratamento dessa condição, auxiliando na redução da morbimortalidade. As complicações dessa infecção vão desde formas assintomáticas até o óbito fetal.

O processo de erupção dentária se inicia na fase embrionária, onde promove várias etapas até o seu completo irrompimento na cavidade oral. Durante a cronologia dentária, o dente pode ser influenciado por diversos fatores, entre eles, pode-se destacar a erupção tardia devido ao excesso do tecido gengival fibroso que recobre a região de coroa do dente. Sendo assim, faz-se necessária a cirurgia de ulectomia, o qual consiste na remoção da fibrose gengival dos dentes permanentes não erupcionados. O presente artigo tem como objetivo relatar um caso clínico de ulectomia em paciente pediátrico com retardo eruptivo em incisivos centrais permanentes. Paciente do sexo masculino de 7 anos de idade, compareceu à clínica de odontopediatria do centro Universitário Brasileiro-UNIBRA acompanhado pela responsável, com queixa  de que os dentes anteriores “não nasciam”. Na anamnese, constatou-se ausência de alterações sistêmicas e não houve relato de fatores extrínsecos que pudessem resultar em tal retardo, como traumatismo dento alveolar local ou perda precoce do dente decíduo. Ao exame clínico, notou-se a presença de espessa faixa de tecido gengival com coloração mais pálida no elemento 11 e, ao toque, evidenciava-se que a coroa do dente não havia erupcionado. Para análise radiográfica do caso, foi realizada a técnica periapical modificada, assim como a panorâmica, onde foi possível observar a presença do elemento dentário correspondendo ao estágio 8 da classificação de Nolla, o que constata a real necessidade da cirurgia, uma vez que, mesmo com a formação radicular de ⅔ o dente não estava em boca. Após 19 dias de proservação, observou-se um adequado posicionamento do dente 11. Entretanto, este relato de caso teve como diferencial, a exodontia dos dentes 52 e 62, que foram necessárias para que houvesse abertura de  espaço ao dente 21 irromper na cavidade oral. Conclui-se, com este caso, que a abordagem cirúrgica da ulectomia é eficaz para o tratamento dos elementos dentários retidos, a fim de possibilitar características estético-funcionais satisfatórias.

Congenital abnormalities remain a leading cause of death in toddlers, with a global death rate of 8.7 per 1000 live births in 2016. Cleft lip, a congenital birth defect, has an incidence rate in Indonesia that increases by an average of 7,500 cases per year. One of the exogenous factors influencing the occurrence of orofacial clefts (OFC) is maternal supplement intake. This study aimed to assess the relationship between maternal supplement consumption and the incidence of OFC in children and identify the dominant factors in maternal supplement intake. The study employed an observational analytic method with a case-control approach, involving 70 maternal samples calculated using the Lemshow formula. Data for the case group were obtained from mothers who underwent treatment at RSAB Harapan Kita Jakarta. The sampling method used was non-probability convenience sampling, and the data were analyzed using univariate, bivariate, and multivariate methods. The results showed a tendency for supplement consumption and maternal zinc requirements to increase the risk of OFC in children. However, a significant relationship was found between the timing of supplement consumption and the adequacy of folic acid, Vitamin B6, and Vitamin B12 supplements. In the multivariate analysis, the dominant risk factors were the need for folic acid and zinc in mothers. Based on the study results, it is recommended that local government regulations consider these factors to optimize the management and prevention of non-syndromic OFC in children, especially in Jakarta.

This study examines the pedagogical environment of higher educational institutions in musical directions and the cognitive characteristics of students within such settings. Musical education, characterized by individual-focused pedagogy, deviates significantly from traditional, collective-oriented higher education systems. These differences highlight the necessity for specialized pedagogical approaches. The primary aim is to identify and analyze the specific pedagogical and cognitive characteristics within music education environments. Objectives include assessing the role of intrapsychic and interpsychic factors in shaping pedagogical interactions and exploring the implications for curriculum development and student engagement. The study employed a combination of literature review, pedagogical observation, documentary analysis, testing, experiments, and statistical methods to evaluate the unique aspects of music education environments. The research highlights the distinctiveness of the musical education environment, which prioritizes emotional engagement and individualized learning. Key findings reveal that music students often demonstrate heightened individualism, emotional reliance, and unique cognitive features shaped by their immersive creative environment. However, limited social interaction and conceptual thinking pose challenges to broader cognitive development. Despite this, over 90% of graduates pursue careers aligned with their specialized training. The pedagogical environment significantly influences the formation of cognitive and professional attributes. Interpersonal and environmental factors play a central role, with implications for fostering meaningful values in professional education. Further studies should focus on developing tailored pedagogical technologies that address the specific needs of music education systems. These technologies should integrate cognitive and emotional dimensions to enhance professional training outcomes while addressing identified gaps in social and conceptual development.

After the phone, social media has become one of the most effective communication tools for today's people. People share many experiences from their daily lives to education and marketing on these platforms. At the same time, social media enriches these shares with videos, pictures, audio and written texts and presents them to other people. This study aimed to investigate the effects of parents' shares on social media on children and businesses. The impact of social media has affected parents' family relationships and parenting habits. The digital traces that parents create about their children, storing various memories about their children, documenting their growth processes, creating social networks in this sense, strengthening family ties and even sharing experiences with other parents represent the positive side of sharenting. However, sharenting, as a form of interaction between parents and social media, carries certain risks beneath its innocent appearance. First of all, children's privacy is violated. A picture that seems innocent at first may also cause children to encounter some bullying in the future. Written or visual products shared without children's permission may even cause psychological damage in the future. Our study is based on the thesis that sharing can offer opportunities for marketing strategies. Many consumers are positively affected by innocent images of children and may form closer relationships with the brand. In many cases, these images can offer advantages for businesses to develop products. Businesses can influence parents through their children, encouraging them to buy more products and increasing brand reliability. In fact, short photos of parents with their children can enable businesses to produce content that supports these moments, thus creating an emotional connection and increasing consumer loyalty. All of this is possible if the right strategy is used. In addition to academic studies, professional opinions of the business world on social media were also used in the presentation of this study. The practical implications of the study reveal that parent sharing, if used correctly, can be beneficial in terms of marketing without causing psychological or social harm to children.
