Authors: Correa Caian Silva , Bertuzzi Cristian André , Kucharski Anna Julia Aparecida , Wilmsen Maurício Orlando
Published: August 2022

A rotina clínica e cirúrgica de cães e gatos é cada vez mais comum a ingestão de corpos estranho (CE). A ingestão de materiais não comestíveis não convencionais é o principal causa de obstrução do trânsito gastrointestinal. O estabelecimento do corpo estranho gera compressão das mucosas sendo capaz de evoluir para isquemia e necrose do órgão envolvido. Os casos são classificados de acordo com a etiologia, tempo, segmento afetado, grau de oclusão mecânica e suprimento sanguíneo. Os sinais clínicos dependem das características físicas do corpo estranho e pelo grau de comprometimento vascular. Os animais apresentam vômito, sialorreia, polidipsia, anorexia, perda de peso, diarreia, melena, tenesmo, taquicardia, taquipneia, dor abdominal, febre e alterações hemodinâmicas decorrentes do choque hipovolêmico e/ou séptico. O vômito persistente leva a perda de eletrólitos como potássio, sódio, ácido clorídrico e bicarbonato além de induzir quadros severos de desidratação. Outras alterações estão relacionadas a hipocalemia, hiponatremia, alcalose e/ou acidose metabólica. O diagnóstico baseia-se na associação do histórico, sinais clínicos, exame físico e imagem. A radiografia e a ultrassonografia abdominal são testes de triagem que ajudam no estabelecimento do diagnóstico definitivo. Atualmente, o uso da tomografia computadorizada auxilia em uma avaliação detalhada da vascularização intestinal, omento e peritônio. A avaliação clínica e laboratorial, assumem uma condição importante na correção dos distúrbios metabólicos apresentados pelo paciente. O tratamento cirúrgico é indicado quando existe risco de perfuração ou estase durante a passagem do corpo estranho através do trato gastrointestinal. Portanto, o objetivo desta revisão é apresentar os mecanismos relacionados aos principais sinais clínicos e métodos diagnósticos na obstrução intestinal intraluminal mecânica decorrente a ingestão de corpo estranho em cães.

Published: August 2022

A Mansonella ozzardi é uma filária humana que tem como vetor dípteros simulídeos e é amplamente distribuída na Amazônia. No Brasil esse parasito foi observado pela primeira fez em uma pesquisa nacional da ocorrência de filariose linfática na cidade de Manaus, Amazonas em 1949. Não há informações sobre a ocorrência de casos de mansonelose no município de Humaitá. Com o objetivo de determinar a prevalência de M. ozzardi em populações que residem em áreas ribeirinhas, ao longo do Rio Madeira, no Amazonas, foi realizado um estudo epidemiológico de prevalência nessa população. Foram examinados 183 moradores às margens dos rios Madeira, através da técnica da gota espessa de sangue, onde retirou-se aproximadamente 60 µL de sangue, sem uso de anticoagulante. Em seguida, foi feito a gota espessa de sangue. Transcorridas 5 a 10 horas, fez-se a desemoglobinização, corou-se com Giemsa e visualizou-se ao microscópio com aumento de 10 x e 40x. Não foram encontrados indivíduos infectados com M. ozzardi neste estudo. Este fato pode ser explicado pela técnica diagnóstica utilizada no estudo ser de baixa sensibilidade, ou até mesmo a existência de pacientes com baixas microfilaremias. Estudos futuros com técnicas diagnósticas mais sensíveis podem ajudar a esclarecer esta questão.

Recent coronavirus pandemic and its global socio-economic impact has re-emphasized the need for safe, fast, and efficient delivery of vaccines for humankind. With advent of technological advances, and to improve patient acquiescence, several techniques for fast, effective, and safe delivery of vaccines have been researched and published in the literature in last three decades. These delivery enhancement techniques include but are not limited to electroporation, microneedles (MN), ultrasound, iontophoresis, etc. This review aims at discussing the current research undergoing in vaccine delivery, specifically focusing on microneedles assisted, the historical background of microneedles and their introduction to drug delivery area, and a special focus on formulation challenges and stability in these systems. The review also sheds light on regulatory challenges one must keep in mind for bringing a successful microneedles-based vaccine delivery into market as well as a snapshot of current commercially available microneedles-based products in cosmetic and pharmaceutical industry.
Tumor-Specific Growth Factor (TSGF): A Futuristic Tumor Biomarker in Early Diagnosis of Cancer
Authors: Nair Bhagyalakshmi , Kuriakose Anisha , Baby Bilha , Nath Lekshmi.R.
Published: August 2022

Despite the significant improvement in the treatment modalities, cancer is one of the fastest-growing chronic disease conditions all over the world. Genetic and Epigenetic alterations in the normal physiology of the cell are the key factor for tumor development. These changes can trigger the production of abnormal protein expressions through stimulation of different signaling pathways and can deeply affect normal cell growth and proliferation. Any altered protein expression, genetic variation, micro-RNA or post-translational protein modifications that indicate tumorigenesis can act as an early signal termed as biomarker. Cancer, being a multistep process with accumulating genetic and epigenetic alterations, could be detected early with suitable biomarkers. There are several proteins such as AFP, CA-125, PSA, troponin, CEA, osteopontin, CA 19-9 that act as biomarkers which help in early detection, prognosis, and monitoring of disease progression, a hunt for newer biomarkers with higher specificity and sensitivity is still ongoing. Tumor-specific growth factor (TSGF) is one such budding and prevailing tumor biomarker used for the early-stage detection of several types of carcinomas. TSGF is a gene that helps in tumor angiogenesis and gets released during the preliminary stages from cancer cells that ensure the vascular proliferation of the same. In this review, the clinical investigations of TSGF in different kinds of malignancy is discussed in detail and suggests the possibility of using TSGF as a biomarker in early diagnosis of cancer.

Background. The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was declared a global pandemic. There is an urgent need for finding efficient medical treatments to diminish the high mortality rate of the mutant variants of the virus. This study aimed to determine the efficacy of edaravone in patients with moderate COVID-19. Methods. This single-center non-randomized controlled clinical trial was performed on hospitalized patients with moderate COVID-19. The patients were divided into two groups of intervention (n=17) and control (n=16). Patients in the intervention group received three doses of edaravone (30 mg) for three interval days (Days 2, 4, and 6). Admission to the intensive care unit (ICU), need for intubation, and mortality were the primary outcomes. Results. All cases had 15-60% lung involvement. Although edaravone reduced the admission to ICU, need for intubation, and mortality rate in patients with moderate COVID-19, the results were not statistically significant. Baseline characteristics, admission days, and clinical parameters were similar between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion. Administration of edaravone 30 mg for three days had no significant effect on the overall outcome of patients with moderate COVID-19. Practical Implications. In this study, none of the COVID-19 patients receiving edaravone had ICU admission, intubation, and mortality. However, no significant difference was found between the clinical outcomes of the control and intervention groups.

El miedo como herramienta política en la segunda ronda de las elecciones presidenciales del 2018 en Costa Rica
Authors: Aguilar Ramírez Esteban A.
Published: August 2022

El artículo forma parte de un proyecto más amplio que pretende analizar la contienda electoral del 2018 en Costa Rica a partir de la teoría de la justicia. El artículo se concentra en la forma en que el miedo puede ser utilizado como una estrategia política, más allá del control que se pueda ejercer sobre la población a través de este. Por tal motivo, se analiza la manera en que los partidos políticos contendientes en la segunda ronda electoral de las elecciones del año 2018 en Costa Rica utilizaron “el miedo” como una herramienta fundamental dentro de sus campañas electorales. Por un lado, la campaña del Partido Acción Ciudadana se enfocó en la amenaza a los derechos humanos, y por el otro lado, la campaña del Partido Restauración Nacional se concentró en la amenaza a la familia y a los valores tradicionales de la población costarricense.
Autocracy promotion in Russia’s foreign policy:
Authors: Gabrielli Francesco
Published: August 2022

Russia’s influence in its Near Abroad (called “Bližkoe zarubeže” in Russian) has created a permissive zone, in which the countries within that area can ignore their democratic commitments being aware that their loyalty to Russia can protect them against any possible interference of the US and the EU. The analysis of bilateral relations between Armenia and Russia on one side, and between Russia and Belarus on the other, has led to the identification of the four models of autocracy promotion: spontaneous emulation, hard power efforts (mainly concerning military intervention), rewards (primarily regarding economic assistance) and negative sanctions (or blackmailing). A combination of rewards and punishments has proved to be the most frequent tactic used by the Kremlin, which has also been facilitated by Armenia and Belarus’s weak linkage and leverage with Western democracy promoters. Russia’s “conservative” diplomacy, which has followed a realist approach, has not resulted in a rigorous autocratic promotion policy, but the Belarusian and Armenian cases demonstrate that in these two (non-democratic) regimes (and also in those of Central Asia) the presence of Russia is stronger than in the democratic ones, such as the Baltic States. Russia’s “sanctions” against Belarus have been less than those directed against Armenia, owing mainly to the former country’s proximity to Russia in the cultural arena and the strategic geopolitical location of Belarus in Eastern Europe. Armenia, on the other hand, has also been subject to direct military intervention by Russia, which was however limited to the first Artsakh war
Baja California y sus guerrilleros en los años setenta
Authors: Morales Tejeda Marco Antonio
Published: August 2022

La sociedad mexicana padecía a finales de los años sesenta del siglo pasado el agobiante peso sobre sus vidas de un sistema autoritario y represivo, que en no pocas ocasiones ahogó en sangre los legítimos anhelos de participación política de su población. Tal situación provocó un sinnúmero de manifestaciones situadas entre la protesta pacífica hasta la toma de las armas, especialmente luego de hechos de extrema crueldad, como la Matanza de Tlatelolco en 1968, con la que el régimen mostró de manera nítida su naturaleza. En todo el país los jóvenes, en una época en que a nivel mundial la juventud impulsaba una revolución contracultural y de valores, se petrificaron del miedo o asumieron prácticas radicales de lucha violenta para enfrentar la violencia institucional extrema, en sintonía con los ideales de la época, que consideraban posible la utopía. Muchos perdieron la vida, pero contribuyeron significativamente, al lado de quienes con métodos pacíficos enfrentaron estoicos la barbarie institucional, y terminaron por transformar la vida política de la nación hacia formas de expresión más civilizadas. Este trabajo de historia política analiza la relación y determinación mutua entre los actores de las llamadas historias regional e historia nacional, pretendiendo contribuir al conocimiento de lo que hoy somos como nación.

Authors: Yadav Anurag , Ramlingareddy  , SS Avinash , M. Malathi
Published: August 2022

Background: The concept of Total Laboratory Automation (TLA) is shifting towards the automation in individual process i.e., Task Targeted automation (TTA). Sample storage is one of the key areas in the Total Testing Process (TTP), hence we developed a robust method to reduce the TAT for blood sample retrieval in clinical biochemistry laboratory with zero added investment. We compared the sample retrieval time (TAT) improvement in sample retrieval with the old conventional and the new method of sample storage. Material and method: study was conducted at a medium-large scale lab with average sample of 1000-1200 per day. The blood sample vacutainers are stored in the refrigerator at controlled temperature for the duration of 48hrs as the lab policy. We requested the technicians to retrieve 10 patient samples from the storage for the duration of 5 days, with different person allotted each day. The samples for day were stored and retrieved the requested sample by conventional & new method. Result: our new method has shown a good improvement in the TAT for the retrieval of the stored blood sample for the retesting or the added parameter for testing on request. The conventional method had an average time to identify and retrieve sample was 9.2mins, which was significantly decreased to 1.4mins with the new method of sample storage and retrieval system. Conclusion: Study emphasis this procedure / process will help the small and medium scale laboratories in having a robust method of sample storage and retrieval at a very short TAT with a minimal or no extra investment.
A New Bayesian Structural Equation Modeling Approach with Priors on the Covariance Matrix Parameter
Authors: Liu Haiyan , Qu Wen , Zhang Zhiyong , Wu Hao
Published: August 2022

Bayesian inference for structural equation models (SEMs) is increasingly popular in social and psychological sciences owing to its flexibility to adapt to more complex models and the ability to include prior information if available. However, there are two major hurdles in using the traditional Bayesian SEM in practice: (1) the information nested in the prior distributions is hard to control, and (2) the MCMC iterative procedures naturally lead to Markov chains with serial dependence and the diagnostics of their convergence are often difficult. In this study, we present an alternative procedure for Bayesian SEM aiming to address the two challenges. In the new Bayesian SEM procedure, we specify a prior distribution on the population covariance matrix parameter $\mathbf{\Sigma}$ and obtain its posterior distribution $p(\mathbf{\Sigma}|\text{data})$. We then construct a posterior distribution of model parameters $\boldsymbol{\theta}$ in the hypothetical SEM model by transforming the posterior distribution of $\mathbf{\Sigma}$ to a distribution of model parameter $\boldsymbol{\theta}$. The new procedure eases the practice of Bayesian SEM significantly and has a better control over the information nested in the prior distribution. We evaluated its performance through a simulation study and demonstrate its application through an empirical example.

Einstein’s theory of relativity paved the way for scholars of the social sciences, since the concept of relativity is not exclusive to the field of physics. In the social sciences, specifically in sociology and law, the principles that make up the theory of the German physicist are also closely related to the aforementioned social sciences, with the aim of making the social system functional, or confront by coercing the punitive power of law (criminal law) to confront social enemies, respectively.
Liberal Islam versus Moderate Islam
Authors: Mazrui Ali A.
Published: August 2022

There is a tendency to equate liberal Islam with moderate Islam. Yet thereare occasions when to be liberal demands a sense of outrage and rebellion.The causes of the political radicalization of Islam are different from theroots of theological conservatism. For decades, the Royal House of SaudiArabia has been theologically conservative but not politically radical.Indeed, for a long time the monarchy in Riyadh was a classic example ofhow a Muslim regime could be politically pro-western without being culturallywesternized. Was the Saudi regime politically moderate withoutbeing doctrinally liberal?This journal debate has been rich in trying to diagnose the nature ofIslam’s radicalization, but relatively thin in diagnosing its causes. The bestdiagnosis of these causes in this collection comes from Graham E. Fuller:The Muslim world, feeling itself under siege, and with its sensitivitiesheightened by its witness of the struggle of Muslims right across the globalummah, is not currently operating in an environment conducive toeither intellectual openness or to liberal and reformist thought. TheMuslim world is simply hunkered down in a defensive and survivalistmode. Indeed, the forces of terrorism in the Muslim world must bebrought to heel. But this will not happen unless we see a change in hegemonisticAmerican policies, the explicit American embrace of Israeliright-wing policies in the occupied West Bank, and the linkage withAmerican fundamentalist Christian attitudes.I have never heard the problem better formulated. Indeed, there areglobal causes of Islamic radicalism and global reasons why “Muslim terrorism”has gone international. One factor is the “Latin Americanization” ...

Elevated level of liver (SGOT, SGPT) and pancreatic enzymes (S. amylase) with due consideration of critical level of these enzymes for abdominal
trauma may be preferred over radiological methods to avoid unnecessary delay and exposure to radiation.

Introduction - Chronic liver disease (CLD) is a common clinical condition affecting mankind.Its association with the diseases of other important
organs like kidney makes it a more devastating disease. Acute kidney injury (AKI) considerably affects the prognosis and outcome of patients with
CLD, hence it is important to prevent the development of AKI and identify the precipitating factors as early as possible, so that early interventions
can be done.1 A prospective observational study was done on 100 chronic liver disease patients admitted in J. A. group ofMaterial and methods -
hospitals Gwalior, over a period of 22 months from Nov. 2019 to June 2021. Detailed history and physical examination, biochemical and
radiological investigations were performed and data was collected using a standardised proforma. Out of the 100 patients 70 are patientsResults -
are male and 30 are females. Most of the patients belonged to Child - Pugh class C (60%), followed by class B (39%) and class A (1%).Overall,
alcohol was found to be the most common cause of chronic liver disease (59%), followed by hepatitis B virus infection (20%), Hepatitis C virus
infection(6%), NASH related CLD(2%), portal vein thrombosis(5%), Wilson's disease (1%), unknown etiology (7%). In males, the most common
cause of CLD was found to be chronic alcoholism(84.3%), followed by hepatitis B virus infection(8.6%), portal vein thrombosis and NASH related
hepatitis in 2.8% each and Wilson's disease (1.4%). In females most common cause of CLD was found to be hepatitis B virus infection
(46.6%),followed by hepatitis c virus infection (20%), portal vein thrombosis(10%), unknown etiology (23.3%). Ascites (78%) was the most
common sign of hepatic decompensation, followed by pedal edema (67%), jaundice (52%), altered sensorium(20%), GI bleed ( 22%), dilated
abdominal veins(18%), alopecia(10%). palmar erythema ( 8 %) and testicular atrophy(4%). Prevalence of AKI in CLD was found to be 30%, out
of which maximum no. of patients were in AKIN stage 3(48%), frequency of stage 1 & 2 AKI was 26.6% each. The most common cause of AKI in
CLD was found to be sepsis (40%), followed by GI bleed (26.7%), inappropriate use of diuretics (13. 3%), Paracentesis (6.6%)and diarrhea(10%)
severe vomiting ( 3. 3%). The in hospital mortality in the patients who developed AKI was considerably higher (56.6%) than the patients who did
not developed AKI (8.5%), signicant at p <0.05. CLD patients are at increased risk of developing AKI , and mortality rates areConclusion -
signicantly higher in patients of CLD complicated by AKI.

Authors: Rahman Dr. Md. Mizanur
Published: August 2022

Introduction: Bronchogenic carcinoma accounts for about one-third of all cancer deaths among males. The inclination is such among females as well. This disease is more communal in males than females. Decreasing the number of fractions required for palliative care should be of understandable advantage for both individual patients and the usage of radiotherapy resources. Methods: This prospective study was carried out in Sylhet MAG Osmani Medical College & Hospital from 1st July 2020 to 30th June 2021 to determine the effects of hypofractionated radiotherapy in an advanced stage of bronchogenic carcinoma. Completed data forms were reviewed, edited, and processed for computer data entry. The data analysis was performed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 25.0. Result: The age of the patients ranged from 41-70 years and the maximum prevalence of the disease was seen above the 50s. The male- to-female ratio was 6:1 in the intervention arm and 14:1 in the control arm. The male gender is predominant. All the male patients were tobacco smokers and the females were passive smokers. Lung cancer was found most in cultivators in this study. Cough, chest pain, dyspnoea and haemoptysis were considered as parameters of symptoms. Most of the patients presented with cough, chest pain, dyspnoea and some with haemoptysis. In Arm A, 67% of patients got relief from all the symptoms during treatment time. In the rest 33%, early side effects were developed and treated accordingly. Ultimately 87% of patients got relief from all the symptoms within 2 weeks of completion of treatment. In 13% of cases, there was no relief. In Arm B, 74% of cases got relief from all the symptoms during treatment time. In the rest 26% of cases, adverse reactions developed. These subsided automatically in some cases and others, supportive treatment was required. Finally, 83.33% of cases became free of symptoms and 16.67% of cases were having no symptomatic relief. ..........

O panorama do sistema educacional brasileiro revela o profundo e enraizado efeito que o processo de colonização impôs ao país, evidenciando a padronização e hegemonia europeia na construção do saber e do conhecimento, o que levam à exclusão e opressão de existências que não caibam no modelo universalizante de ser. Essa dominação acaba se estabelecendo nas bases dos diversos movimentos sociais, o que contribui para a consolidação de pautas engessadas, as quais perpetuam a invisibilidade dos grupos oprimidos. Ao ignorar a diversidade social, é desencadeada uma crise no que se refere à proteção dos direitos humanos, aqui notadamente trabalhada no âmbito do movimento feminista. E é nesse sentido que o presente texto se propõe a contribuir, evidenciando a necessidade de se repensar e reinventar essa educação, a partir da perspectiva do feminismo decolonial, incluindo categorias que representam e explicam as opressões sofridas por grupos vulneráveis.
Educação ambiental e os saberes tradicionais

Published: August 2022

O presente estudo tem como intuito compreender o diálogo entre os Saberes Tradicionais do Candomblé do Povo Bantu – cosmologia que cultua as energias da natureza denominadas Mukixi (plural de Nkisi) – e a Educação Ambiental (EA), já que com a contínua desvalorização desses saberes pertencentes a estes povos e comunidades tradicionais ocasiona práticas de violências epistêmicas e raciais. Essas relações desiguais de poder, iniciadas desde o Brasil Colônia, persistem até os dias atuais, reverberando nas formas de educação produzidas ou reproduzidas, por exemplo, nas instituições escolares. Partindo da possibilidade do ato de educar em uma perspectiva etnoecológica e para as relações étnico-raciais, esse artigo se volta para a reflexão sobre os potenciais dos saberes locais para um ensino da Educação Ambiental Crítica pautado em uma educação antirracista, libertadora e democrática, indicando então uma relação estreita e um diálogo entre Educação Ambiental e os Saberes Tradicionais do Candomblé do povo Bantu.

Authors: Hidayat Rachmat , Patricia Wulandari
Published: August 2022

The clinical manifestations of COVID-19 vary widely, ranging from asymptomatic to very severe respiratory distress. Both the body's immune response, both the natural body's immune response and the adaptive body's immune response, play a very important role in the course of COVID-19. Most patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 show symptoms of the respiratory system such as fever, coughing, sneezing, and shortness of breath. The most common symptoms are fever, dry cough, fatigue, and anosmia or ageusia. Other symptoms that can be found are productive cough, shortness of breath, sore throat, headache, myalgia/arthralgia, chills, nausea/vomiting, nasal congestion, diarrhea, abdominal pain, hemoptysis, and conjunctival congestion. A study concluded that more than 40% of fevers in COVID-19 patients had peak temperatures between 38.1-39°C, while 34% had fevers over 39°C.
The Role of CD4+ and CD8+ T Cells in COVID-19 (Corona Virus Disease 2019)
Authors: Hidayat Rachmat , Patricia Wulandari
Published: August 2022

The SARS-CoV-2 virus mainly acts on lymphocytes, especially CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, Analysis of a subset of lymphocytes may help in screening awal critical course of the disease.  Pincrease of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines, and decreased regulatory/regulatory T cells contribute to an excessive inflammatory response (increased cytokine production, cytokine release syndrome) with loss of control over the damaging immune response and increased tissue damage (e.g. in the lungs). Sometimes the body's response to infection becomes very exaggerated. for example, when SARS-CoV-2 enters the lungs, it will trigger an immune response, attracting immune cells to the area to attack the virus, resulting in local inflammation, in some patients, excessive/uncontrolled levels of cytokines will activate more immune cells, causing hyperinflammatory called cytokine storms, is a condition that can harm or kill patients.
Comparison of Immune Response and Immunobiology in COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease 2019) Mild-Moderate Degree and Severe Degree
Authors: Hidayat Rachmat , Patricia Wulandari
Published: August 2022

The difference in immunological profiles between mild-moderate and severe cases of COVID-19 can be seen in lower lymphocyte counts, leukocytes, and higher neutrophil-lymphocyte ratios. And lower percentages of monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils in severe COVID-19 cases. Proinflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-1, and IL-6, as well as IL-8 and infection markers such as procalcitonin, ferritin, and C-reactive protein, were also found to be higher in severe clinical cases. T Helper, T suppressor, and T  regulatory were found to be decreased in COVID-19 patients with lower numbers of T helper and T regulatory in severe cases.
