Aproximación histórica a las formas interlocutivas de tratamiento en documentación archivística canaria (siglo XVIII - primer tercio del siglo XIX)
Authors:   , Padrón Castilla Elena
Published: November 2023

This thesis offers an approach to the historical description of the forms of the address system in that Spanish of the Canary Islands, as it is reflected in our selection of an amount of archival documentation, whose chronological framework spans from the eighteenth century to the beginning of the nineteenth century. The main aim of this research, therefore, has been to describe the interlocutionary forms of the address system in the Canary Islands. Since there was no previous corpus to enable this study, the first specific objective was the selection and transcription of all those archival documentation dated in the Islands within the chronological framework and containing at the same time the phenomenon under study. Thus, it has been configured a corpus of 307 documents analyzed according to the type of producer: on the one hand, epistolary documentation, consisting of official letters produced within the public administration and also, private letters between private individuals; on the other hand, inquisitorial documentation, which has proved to be of great importance for two subjects: bearing witness to some uses closer to the immediacy of communication and, besides, giving space not only to the voice of the upper strata of society (as it usually happens with the preserved letters), but also to the lower social strata, generally less represented in the historical corpus. From these 307 documents, all the occurrences of interlocutionary forms of address (both pronominal and nominal) and their concordance with other grammatical forms (such as unstressed personal pronominal forms, possessive and verbal forms) have been described and analysed. After examining the linguistic data emanating from the corpus and cross-referencing them later with the different sociolinguistic, textual and pragmatic-discursive variables, it has been possible to pool all the results obtained in each analysed period for both singular and plural forms. In this way, we have been able to show the chronology of the collected forms and, at once, the uses reflected in the studied corpus, also providing the first archival documentation in the Spanish of the Canary Islands, to date, of some of the pronominal developed forms.

Published: November 2023

Bank Sampah Sumber Rejeki in Cilacap City provides an opportunity for customers to deposit waste and receive monetary rewards. Unfortunately, current data management is still manual through unstructured notebooks, potentially resulting in data loss due to notebook damage, difficulty in finding customer information, and delays in making performance reports. This research aims to develop a website-based management information system that is tailored to the needs of the sampah bank. This system includes customer data management, recording waste deposit transactions, recording customer balance withdrawals, and improving waste bank data security. Data was collected through direct interviews with the manager of Sumber Rejeki Waste Bank. The development method used is Feature Driven Development (FDD) using the PHP programming language and MySQL database. In addition, testing this system also involves the black box testing method to ensure the functionality is as expected. The result of this research is a web-based system that is significant in improving the efficiency of managing customer data, transactions, and waste bank performance reports. The implementation of this system reduces the risk of errors and data loss due to manual recording and provides easier access for customers to view transaction history in the waste bank.
ADAPTAR LOS CLÁSICOS DE LA LITERATURA ESPAÑOLA PARA LOS PRIMEROS LECTORES, ¡MENUDO RETO!
Authors: Mauclair Patricia
Published: November 2023

Llama la atención en España la presencia de numerosas adaptaciones de algunos de los grandes clásicos de la literatura española en la sección infantil y juvenil de las bibliotecas y de las librerías. La convicción generalizada de que la formación humanística debe sustentarse en la lectura de los clásicos parece justificar la necesidad de facilitar la lectura a quien no pueda realizarla en su versión original. Nuestro trabajo se centrará en los álbumes ilustrados protagonizados por el Cid, Don Quijote, Lazarillo y Platero editados para los primeros lectores: después de analizar el proyecto editorial que sostiene tales publicaciones, veremos de qué manera dichas adaptaciones intentan dar a conocer los clásicos a los más pequeños.
EL LIBRO ÁLBUM Y LA CIUDAD: UNA CREACIÓN COLABORATIVA ENTRE ESTUDIANTE DE ARQUITECTURA Y ALUMNOS DE PRIMARIA
Authors: Genet Verney Rafaèle , Thuilier Sabine
Published: November 2023

El libro álbum, como objeto de creación artística, posee un valor indiscutible en la enseñanza de la lengua y la literatura y de las artes plásticas. Permite, gracias a su estructura sinérgica entre texto e imagen, adquirir competencias vinculadas con ambas materias además de generar capacidadesinherentemente creativas. Es cada vez más frecuente que el escenario principal de los libros álbumes sea la ciudad al ser el espacio vital donde se desenvuelven los niños y las niñas de hoy en día, por lo que se convierte también en un instrumento para apropiarse el espacio urbano desde el imaginario. Tras un marco teórico sobre el libro álbum a modo introductorio, este artículo se centra en analizar las transformaciones de la urbe a través de su representación en los libros álbumes para posteriormente indagar sobre el valor educativo de su uso en el aula y las distintas maneras de acercarse a él en los procesos de enseñanza/aprendizaje. Concluye presentando una propuesta colaborativa de creación de libro álbum sobre la ciudad entre estudiantes de la escuela de arquitectura de Clermont-Ferrand (Francia) y de una escuela primaria en el marco de una asignatura de máster sobre la sensibilización a la arquitectura.

UNLOCKING RELIEF: THE MAGIC OF MANUAL MUSCLE RELEASE AND STRETCHING WITH HOT PACKS FOR PIRIFORMIS SYNDROME
Authors: Kumar Pankaj , Chhabra Deepak , Choudhry Dimple , Malika Malika , Yadav Pankaj
Published: November 2023

Sciatica, or buttock discomfort, is another name for the condition known as piriformis syndrome, in which the piriformis muscle irritates the sciatic
nerve, resulting in tingling, numbness, and pain. Various physiotherapy treatments, including manual muscle release and stretching exercises, have
shown promise in addressing this condition. However, there is limited literature comparing the effects of these techniques on piriformis syndrome.
Therefore, this quasi-experimental study aimed to compare the inuence of manual muscle release and stretching exercise, both accompanied by
hot packs, on the visual analog scale (VAS) scores in patients with piriformis syndrome. A total of 30 patients with piriformis syndrome, aged
between 18 to 55 years, were randomly assigned to two groups: Group A(treated with manual muscle release and hot packs) and Group B (treated
with stretching exercise and hot packs). VAS scores were measured at the beginning (week 0) and after 3 weeks of treatment (week 3). Statistical
analysis using t-tests revealed signicant differences in VAS scores between the two groups at 3 weeks. Notably, manual muscle release with hot
packs was found to be more effective in improving the condition compared to stretching exercises with hot packs. These ndings shed light on the
potential benets of manual muscle release in conjunction with hot packs for piriformis syndrome patients. Future research can further explore
longer treatment durations, follow-up assessments, and additional outcome variables to enhance our understanding of this condition.

Background: Detection of thrombocytopenia associated with fever helps to narrow differential diagnosis and management of fever. It also helps to
know the various complications of thrombocytopenia and its management and outcome of the patient. Infection is a common cause of
thrombocytopenia. 100 patients aged > 16 years with fever and thrombocytopenia seen betwee Methods: n November 2018 to October 2020, in a
medical college hospital, Vijayanagar Institute of medical sciences(VIMS), Ballari, were included for this study. IRB approval was taken before
the collection of data for the study. Infection was the commonest cause of throm Results: bocytopenia and dengue was the commonest infection.
Bleeding manifestations were seen in 12 % of patients. Petechiae/purpura as the commonest bleeding manifestation followed by gum bleeding.
Good recovery was noted in 92% while 8% had mortality. 50% of patients with platelet count below 20,000 does not needed platelet transfusion.
Conclusions: Infections, particularly dengue was the commonest cause of fever with thrombocytopenia. In majority of patients,
thrombocytopenia was transient and asymptomatic but in signicant number of cases there were bleeding manifestations. Spontaneous bleeding
was noted in platelet count of < 20,000/mm3 in majority of patients, petechiae /purpura was seen in platelet count in range of 20,000- 40,000/mm3.
On treating the specic cause drastic improvement in platelet count was noted during discharge and further follow-up. Disclosure summary: The

Authors: Gupta Anshul , D'souza Maria , Vani Kavita , Kapur Neeti , Chumber Shishir
Published: November 2023

Trauma-related injuries are a signicant cause of mortality, necessitating rapid and accurate diagnostic methods. Ultrasonography, particularly the
Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma (FAST), offers a non-invasive, radiation-free, and swift means of assessing acute trauma cases.
In seventy participants with acute trauma, ultrasonography ndings were correlated with CT scans and intraoperative observations.
Ultrasonography, particularly FAST, emerges as a valuable diagnostic tool for acute trauma. Its non-invasive, rapid, and reliable nature positions it
as an essential asset in the initial assessment of trauma patients, facilitating timely decisions for surgical intervention or conservative treatment.
Optimal V2X operation of EV fleets with PV-battery charging station for demand-side flexibility provision
Authors: Bellizio Federica , Heer Philipp
Published: November 2023

The increasing number of electric vehicles expected on the road in the coming years poses new threats to the reliability of the power system. However, it can also play a key role as a source of demand-side flexibility to support the system in managing uncertainty resulting from the integration of renewable and distributed energy resources. In this paper, a novel operational tool for vehicle-to-everything operation of electric vehicle fleets with photovoltaics-battery charging station for demandside flexibility provision is proposed. The tool provides electric vehicle aggregators with a risk-aware flexibility quantification, robust market bids and real-time control decisions. The approach was tested on real demonstrators in Switzerland, highlighting the cost-benefits of demand-side flexibility provision.
Simulated Able-Bodied Lower-Limb Joint Loading While Walking on Unexpected Uneven Terrain
Authors: Stewart Kristen M. , Klute Glenn , Neptune Richard R.
Published: November 2023

Walking on uneven terrain is a common task throughout daily living and can cause changes in lower-limb kinematics and mechanics. Joint loading, while difficult to measure experimentally, may also increase on uneven terrain, which could contribute to the development of joint pain and debilitating conditions. This study investigated how lower-limb joint loading is affected during a step on coronally-uneven terrain and during the subsequent recovery step using data from individuals without mobility impairments (n=5) and musculoskeletal modeling and simulation, which can be used to reliably estimate joint contact forces. The simulations indicated changes in joint loading during both the uneven and recovery steps on uneven terrain compared to level-ground walking, and these changes varied throughout stance. During both the uneven and recovery steps, the largest increases in peak joint contact forces and impulses were at the ankle joint during early stance. These results suggest that individuals may rely more on early compensations at the ankle than compensations at the hip or knee throughout stance. Future work should include populations with mobility impairments and investigate if different compensatory strategies or interventions can influence the outcomes.

A Tinea Capitis, ou infecção fúngica do couro cabeludo, é uma condição dermatofítica que afeta principalmente crianças e é causada por dermatófitos, que são fungos capazes de infectar tecidos queratinizados. Existem três grupos de dermatófitos: antropofílicos, zoófilos e geofílicos. As manifestações clínicas variam desde lesões pouco inflamatórias a placas inflamatórias granulomatosas, dependendo da etiologia e resposta imune do hospedeiro. O diagnóstico envolve sinais clínicos, exames laboratoriais, como cultura fúngica e exame direto, e tricoscopia.

A Tinea Capitis é diferenciada de outras condições que causam alopecia e descamação do couro cabeludo, como a alopecia areata e a tricotilomania. O tratamento inclui antifúngicos sistêmicos e tópicos, com o objetivo de erradicar o fungo, aliviar os sintomas, prevenir a alopecia cicatricial e reduzir a transmissão. O tratamento sistêmico requer monitoramento devido a possíveis efeitos colaterais e interações medicamentosas. O tratamento tópico ajuda a prevenir a disseminação secundária de esporos de fungos. Crianças refugiadas de origem africana enfrentam desafios para obter tratamento eficaz, mas a griseofulvina tem se mostrado eficaz na maioria dos casos, com poucos efeitos colaterais. É importante combinar tratamentos tópicos e orais para minimizar a propagação da doença. O diagnóstico diferencial envolve a distinção entre Tinea Capitis, tricotilomania e alopecia areata. Além disso, a abordagem de saúde mental e os desafios enfrentados pelas pessoas afetadas são destacados. O trabalho enfatiza a importância do diagnóstico precoce, do tratamento eficaz e da pesquisa contínua para melhorar as estratégias de tratamento e prevenção, visando melhorar a qualidade de vida das pessoas afetadas por essa infecção. O conhecimento, a conscientização e o investimento em cuidados relacionados à Tinea Capitis são essenciais para garantir tratamentos mais eficientes e apoio abrangente aos pacientes, abordando não apenas questões médicas, mas também emocionais e sociais relacionadas à doença.

Sphinx and Gorgons: The Evolution of the Psychoanalytic Bestiary - Reinterpretations
Authors: Stępnik Małgorzata
Published: November 2023

In 1924 Beata Rank de domo Minzer (1886 – 1967) publishes an essay whose title translates as: The Role of a Woman in the Evolution of a Society. The text written by an eminent Polish born psychoanalyst is largely devoted to the (very early) reinterpretation of a specific bestiary developed by Freudians. In this constellation of figures, borrowed from the ancient imagery, a special place is occupied by female-animal hybrids and monsters: the Sphinx, Medusa, or Chimera. The main aim of this article is to trace how these character have been filtered through the prism of interpreting the écriture féminine - above all, in the spirit of Hélène Cixous, somehow foreshadowed by the early thought of Beata Rank. The considerations taken up in the text will be illustrated by chosen examples of oeuvres by contemporart Polish artists.
From “Lure” to “Cure”. From Critical Spectatorship to a Relational Space of Reverie
Authors: Walsh Maria
Published: November 2023

In her article, the author proposes to address the psychic ‘work’ of the moving image by aligning it with aspects of post-Bionian psychoanalytic theories that allude to virtual spaces as sites of reverie that, in enabling pre-linguistic ‘feelings’ to find expression, might produce shifts in thinking about disturbing or traumatic conditions and experiences. Her approach to psychoanalytic theory and the moving image is tested out in relation to one case study: Jeamin Cha’s artists’ film Sound Garden (2019), a film that refers to practices of counselling engaged in by four female protagonists who, on the soundtrack, reflect on their work and well-being in the context of neoliberalism in South Korean institutions.
Mobilizowanie i relatywizowanie przemocy. Interakcyjny wymiar przemocy w stojącej przed dylematem moralnym grupie, w której pozycja żadnej osoby nie jest uprzywilejowana
Authors: Rapior Waldemar
Published: November 2023

Przyjmując perspektywę mikrosocjologii, etnometodologii i socjologii Goffmanowskiej, badam relację między sztucznością (teatralnością) sytuacji decyzyjnej, dynamiką afektywną wytworzoną w „laboratorium” (w sali teatralnej) oraz procesami interakcyjnymi między uczestnikami. W celu odsłonięcia milcząco stosowanych metod koordynacji działań (w przeciwieństwie do jawnego stosowania się do reguł instytucjonalnych), skorzystałem z nowatorskiej metodologii. Wraz z artystami sztuk performatywnych stworzyliśmy sztuczną sytuację badawczą (interaktywne przedstawienie teatralne), w którym sześć osób znalazło się w sytuacji dylematu moralnego. Interakcje tych osób zostały sfilmowane, a następnie przeanalizowane za pomocą wideografii. Pozycja żadnej osoby nie była uprzywilejowana. Co się dzieje, gdy obce sobie osoby zajmujące równą pozycję spotykają się z dylematem moralnym? W artykule skupiam się na analizie przemocy, która pojawiła się w grupach lub z którą grupy musiały się zmierzyć. Pokażę, jak przemoc jest społecznie mobilizowana i relatywizowana w celu zachowania ładu interakcyjnego.
Polscy i iraccy artyści w Bagdadzie, czyli peryferyjne kapitały kulturowe i negocjowanie modernizmu
Authors: Cegielski Max
Published: November 2023

W 1943 roku w Bagdadzie artyści-uchodźcy z Armii Andersa (m.in. Józef Czapski) współpracowali z pionierami irackiego modernizmu (m.in. Dżawadem Salimem). Irakijczycy wspomagali Polaków np. użyczając swoich pracowni, malarze prezentowali też wspólnie prace na wystawach. Przyjaźń członków peryferyjnych elit z odmiennych kultur umożliwiła im określenie się i opór wobec kolonialnej dominacji Anglików oraz nowe spojrzenie na lokalne (mezopotamskie i arabskie) tradycje sztuki. Wpłynęło to na rozwój irackiej sztuki nowoczesnej oraz powstanie Baghdad Group for Modern Art, twórczo polemizującej z zachodnimi wzorami i łączącej je z tradycjami Bliskiego Wschodu. Zestawiając polskie i arabskie źródła autor pokazuje artystyczną relację Polsko-Iracką w świetle teorii postkolonialnych, relacji centrum - peryferie oraz typów kapitałów kulturowych Pierre’a Bourdieu.
Gra o sumie zerowej. Ekonomia wstydu w filmie „Pora na czarownice”
Authors: Kiełpiński Łukasz
Published: November 2023

W artykule autor analizuje sposób reprezentacji grup społecznie wykluczonych w filmie Piotra Łazarkiewicza Pora na czarownice (1993). Tworząc pierwszą polską pełnometrażową produkcję dotykającą rodzimego kontekstu problemu AIDS, reżyser deklarował chęć stworzenia dzieła zaangażowanego społecznie. Z jednej strony chodziło o pokazanie surowej rzeczywistości okresu transformacji ustrojowej wbrew eskapistycznym tendencjom ówczesnego polskiego kina. Z drugiej zaś strony celem filmu było zabranie głosu w obronie zakażonych HIV i potępienie nietolerancji. Symbolicznie dowartościowując jedną grupę, twórca zdaje się jednak prześlepiać kompensacyjne stygmatyzowanie klasy ludowej. Zjawisko opisane jest w tekście za pomocą analizy sposobu konstruowania inności w filmie oraz poprzez odwołanie do kontekstu jego recepcji w polskiej prasie pierwszej połowy lat 90. XX wieku.
Determination of the dynamics of the wheel of a mobile machine
Authors: Antoshchenkov Roman , Antoshchenkov Victor , Fabrychnikova Irina , Smitskov Dmitriy , Kis Oleksandr
Published: November 2023

A sensor, which consists of a three-axis accelerometer, a gyroscope, and a magnetometer, has been developed to determine the dynamics of the wheel of a mobile machine. The sensor is connected to a microcontroller, which transmits the received data via a 2.4 GHz channel. It is mounted coaxial to the center of the wheel. At the first processing stage, the accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer data values are adjusted. The corrected accelerations and angular velocities signal are processed using a Butterworth filter. Filter Madgwick determines the angles of orientation of the sensor in space. In the next step, we remove the centrifugal component from the accelerations. Next, the gravitational component is subtracted from the accelerations, and its real value is obtained. The speed of the wheel is obtained by integrating accelerations. The Kalman filter processes the angular velocities, acceleration, and velocities. The measurement noise covariance matrix and the evaluation process matrix are calculated based on sensor errors. The results of experimental studies of the proposed method and sensor for determining the wheel dynamics of mobile machines on tractors with a 4x4 wheel arrangement were carried out. The sensors were installed on all wheels of the tractor. The developed wheel dynamics sensor allows us to determine the slippage of the engines of a mobile machine. This method of determining slipping is entirely accurate and does not require intervention in the design of the machine. The determination of the speed of rotation of the wheels of a mobile machine is based on the determination of the angular speed of rotation, which is measured with a gyroscope and accelerometer located in the center of the wheel of a mobile machine.

Medicinal plants are extensively used throughout the world to treat a variety of ailments because of their safety, efficacy and affordability. Lawsonia inermis or Henna is commonly used in folk medicine for the cure of several illnesses. Particularly, it is used as a hair and hand dye. The objective of this study is to offer the most recent information regarding the pharmacological and phytochemical profile of the medicinal plant that is backed by evidence. Only indexed research and review papers were taken into account for the present study's data gathering in order to ensure authenticity. Only articles published in English language were considered for this study. To conduct a literature survey, various databases such as Scopus, Google Scholar, PubMed, Science Direct, and MEDLINE were searched without any year limit. The following keywords are used to search the data: “Lawsonia inermis”, “medicinal plants”, “herbs”, “phytochemical”, “pharmacological”, “in vivo“, “in vitro”, “Henna” and “toxicity”. The study's findings showed that the plant contains a variety of potent phytochemicals, including Lawsona, linarigenin, linarisenin, luteolin, lawsochrysin, lawsoniaside, lawsonaphthoate e.tc. The fruits, leaves, and stems of L. inermis have all been demonstrated to have potential pharmacological effects in previous investigations. So far, its antioxidant, cytotoxic, antimicrobial, antiprotozoal, immunomodulatory, hypoglycemic, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer properties have been documented. Even though many aspects of the plant have been researched, additional study is still necessary to completely understand the mechanism behind its pharmacological actions, to confirm its medicinal efficacy, and to justify its usage in traditional medicine.

Infectious bursal disease (IBD) or Gumboro disease is an acute, highly contagious viral disease of young chickens characterised by haemorrhagic syndrome, severe damage in the cloacal bursa, immunosuppression, and high mortality, generally at 3–6 weeks of age. The present study was performed to investigate the molecular characteristics and histopathological effects of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) isolated from broiler and pullet flocks in eastern and central Algeria. Fifty-five chickens collected from eleven broiler and pullet farms were investigated for IBD outbreaks over the period of 2019–2020. Only the birds with clinical signs and macroscopic lesions indicating IBD were selected for histopathological examination and molecular investigations using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) followed by sequencing. Except for Flock No4, all the birds in the study showed microscopic lesions of IBD. RT-PCR confirmed IBDV infection in samples from flocks No1, 2, 3, 9, 10, and 11. Using sequencing, a very virulent IBDV (vvIBDV) strain was detected in samples No10 and 11. The studied strains exhibited four conserved amino acids (222A, 256I, 294I, and 299S), characteristic of vvIBDV. According to the phylogenetic tree, the two strains in the study were closely related to previously isolated vvIBDVs and clustered together. This result may explain the frequent vaccine failure against IBD observed in broiler and pullet flocks in Algeria.

The Demoiselle Crane (Grus virgo) is one of the most threatened bird species in the world as it is indicated as “Least Concern” under the IUCN and Bird Life International category. To evaluate the current status and threats to G. virgo from Lasbela coast, two field stations were selected i. e, Siranda lake and Sonmiani area. Data were based on daily observation monitored during February, March, April, September, October, November, and December during 2020-2021. The line transit method and questionnaire-interview based survey was used to estimate the bird population and threats to birds population. Total of 322,143 numbers of cranes were observed in which 142700 in autumn and 179443 during spring season. Area wise distribution of cranes were detected at 271701 from Sarinda lake while, 50442 cranes were observed from Sonmiani area. It was also noted that during autumn overall 136850 cranes were observed in flying mode while 5850 were observed at resting stage, however in Spring 167330 were in flying and 12113 were at resting. Overall, high population was observed during spring season at 55.7% while population during autumn was observed at 44.29%. It was also noted that during present study the percentage of flying cranes are higher than the resting cranes and higher numbers were observed from Sarinda lake compared to Sonmiani area. This maybe because the Sarinda lake is far from city area so cranes prefer to rest compare to Sonmiani area. The hunting information was collected from local community, government agencies and personal visits at local areas. It was noted that total of 116 numbers of cranes were hunted during the study period from which 74 cranes were hunted using gunshot and 42 cranes were caught alive. Most of the hunting cranes were operated during March. We may assume that these sites (study area) are short term stay for these guest birds. However, due to certain reasons it may also be noted that flying cranes are higher than the resting cranes which shows that these sites also indicate the threats to the cranes. It may also suggest that hunting must be prohibited and Sarinda lake should be declared as Ramsar site for the conservation of migratory birds.

Ficus plants have traditionally been used as potential remedies for treating various diseases. Hepatotoxicity is one of the severe threats to human health which must be adequately cured. The study was planned to investigate the hepato-protective potential of methanolic extracts of fruit and leaves of Ficus carica and Ficus benghalensis against carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced hepatotoxicity in an experimental rat model. The study was planned using a randomized control design (RCD). The study included 6 groups of animals (n= 5 per group) having average body weight (230±20 g), out of which 5 groups were treated with CCl4 (15 µL kg-1 body weight), and the remaining one was left as healthy control. Four of the five CCl4-treated groups were administered individually with fruit and leaf extracts (25 mg kg-1 body weight) of F. carica and F. benghalensis, while the fifth was left as CCl4-treated control. The total serum bilirubin (TSB), total serum protein (TSP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels of the control group during the treatment period ranged from 0.54±0.16 to 0.59±0.15 mgdL-1, 8.56±0.73 to 8.66±0.75 gdL-1, 46.00±21.41 to 49.41±22.68 UL-1, 41.6±13.99 to 44.41±13.16 UL-1, and 139.80±28.72 to 145.62±28.82 UL-1, respectively. CCl4 administration significantly (p<0.05) increased the TSB, ALT, AST, and ALP levels in the range of 1.48±0.30-2.30±0.19 mgdL-1, 147.6±34.22 to 233.81±14.94 UL-1, 118.8±15.88 to 167.8±16.4143 UL-1, and 213.8±21.46 to 260±26.664 UL-1, respectively. The elevated TSB, ALT, AST, and ALP levels were significantly (p<0.05) decreased after F. carica and F. benghalens extract treatment to 1.06±0.15-1.70±0.21 mgdL-1, 115.00±28.19-190.21±25.68 UL-1, 89.8±16.29-111.8±23.81 UL-1, and 195.38±42.29-218.4±35.02 UL-1 respectively. Moreover, TSP level was significantly decreased after CCl4 administration and improved after extract treatment. It was concluded that methanolic extract from the leaf and fruit of both F. benghalensis and F. carica protects against CCl4-induced hepatotoxicity in rats.

Published: November 2023

Since Tribulus Terrestris (TT) is known as an aphrodisiac and natural muscle-enhancing nutrition, this study aimed to investigate the effects of TT on the male reproductive system, including sex hormones, testicular histology, and sperm parameters. In this study, 35 adult male Wistar rats were randomly divided into five groups of seven rats including Control, Sham (normal saline, 2.5 ml), TT1, TT2 and TT3 (2.5, 5 and 10 mg/kg body weight, respectively). One day after receiving the last TT administration (by gavage once daily for 60 days), rats were sacrificed, testes were removed, blood samples were taken from the heart, and sperm analysis was performed. Results showed that administration of TT extract was significantly increased serum hormonal levels (Testosterone, FSH in 2.5 and 10 mg/kg, respectively), sperm parameters (sperm count and motility in 5 and 10 mg/kg of TT), and histology of the testis (the mean number of Sertoli (5 and 10 mg/kg of TT), Leydig in 2.5 mg/kg of dose) in rats (p<0.05). TT extract improves reproductive system parameters and fertility in the male rats. TT may also have beneficial effects on the male reproductive system by increasing the Testosterone hormone levels, sperm motility and testis histology.

Dementia is a progressive disorder that weakens the intellectual abilities and causes the cognitive, behavioral, and functional decline in occupational and social areas. This research is targeted to extract a profile for the dementia diagnostic and clinical characteristics by evaluating the near-term effects of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease dementia (PD-D). A total of 240 individuals, including 60 AD patients, 60 PD-D patients, and 120 healthy controls, were included in the study. Data of individuals treated in a local dementia outpatient clinic between 2013 and 2023 were obtained from the clinic database. AD and PD-D diagnoses were made based on the revised National Institute on Aging and Alzheimer’s Association (NIA-AA) criteria and movement disorder society (MDS) clinical diagnostic criteria, respectively. Functional, clinical, and neuropsychological evaluations of the patients were made by the same neurologist. Dementia staging and daily living activities were determined and categorized. In the patient group, functionality and instrumental activities of daily living (ADLs) scores were significantly worse than those of the control group, but there was no difference between the AD and PD-D groups. Calculation, verbal fluency, word list, early learning, and clock drawing test scores were lower in the AD group than in the PD-D group. Apathy, disinhibition, elution, irritability, abnormal motor movements, sleep, and appetite scores were significantly higher in the patient group than in the control group. While depression parameters were not significantly different between all the groups, hallucinations and anxiety parameters were significantly higher in the PD-D group than in the AD group. As an important predictor of independent living and the burden of disease, functional impairment is an important issue in patients with AD compared to those with PD-D. This study also highlights the neuropsychiatric perception disorder in terms of functional loss in AD and significant anxiety disorder for PD-D accompanied by early functional losses.
