INTRODUCTION. Despite the fact that more than 150 years have passed since the first mention of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), the issues of etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of this disease are still not fully resolved. However, the results of recent research in the field of genetics with the identification of genes associated with ALS, understanding the mechanisms of disease development and, as a result, the creation of effective drugs give hope that in the near future the disease will cease to be fatal. AIM. To analyze domestic and foreign publications on the etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. To present a clinical case of a patient with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. MATERIAL AND METHODS. The analysis of domestic and foreign publications for the period 1997-2024 is carried out. The sources of the Russian scientific electronic library eLibrary, RSCI databases, PubMed were used. CASE PRESENTATION. A patient is presented who, at the age of 56, developed mixed paresis of the right hand, followed by the development of mixed tetraparesis and simultaneously bulbar syndrome within 3 months. Differential diagnosis was performed between spondylogenic cervical myelopathy, endocrinopathy and ALS. Based on anamnestic data, clinical picture, rate of progression of symptoms, results of electroneuromyography, lack of improvement against the background of therapy, the main diagnosis was made: amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a primary generalized form with mixed tetraparesis, bulbar syndrome. 2 weeks after discharge from the hospital in a stable condition, the patient was diagnosed with COVID-19 coronavirus infection, with a rapid fatal outcome from respiratory failure (7 months after the debut of ALS). CONCLUSION. A feature of the described ALS case is a rather rare primary generalized form of the disease (having such unfavorable prognosis factors as the development of bulbar syndrome at the beginning of the disease, a short time period from the appearance of the first symptoms to diagnosis), the presence of masking pathology in the form of spondylogenic myelopathy and the addition of COVID-19 with a rapid fatal outcome. With all the severity of ALS and an unfavorable prognosis, the presence of comorbid pathology can make the course of the disease even more dramatic.

AIM. To evaluate psychoemotional status and the influence of affective, motivational and asthenic disorders on the efficiency of rehabilitation using virtual reality technologies in patients in the acute period of ischemic stroke. MATERIAL AND METHODS. 160 patients diagnosed with ischemic stroke were examined. Depending on the volume of therapy, the patients were divided into two groups: the 1-st group – 80 patients who received therapy using virtual reality (VR) technologies in addition to basic therapy and standard methods of early rehabilitation; the 2-nd group – 80 patients who received only basic therapy and standard methods of early rehabilitation. Neuropsychological testing was performed on the 4-th day of hospitalisation using scales to assess cognitive function, apathy, aggression, asthenia, depression, and anxiety. From the 5-th day of hospitalisation, patients in the 1-st group underwent VR-therapy for 10 days with evaluation of the dynamics of the main psychoemotional parameters and their impact on the effectiveness of rehabilitation (Δ RE). RESULTS AND DICUSSION. All patients had subclinical depression, clinically expressed anxiety, moderate levels of physical, mental, general asthenia, apathy and physical aggression with prevalence of physical asthenia and the combination of depression/physical aggression in the 1-st group of patients. The greatest comorbidity was found with respect to depression, physical asthenia, anxiety and physical aggression scores. Significant improvement was demonstrated with respect to all indicators except the level of apathy and mental asthenia in both groups and general asthenia in the 2-nd group after therapy. A more significant regression was found with regard to anxiety, general aggression, mental and physical asthenia in the 1-st group of patients. The negative correlation of Δ RE with the level of apathy and the combination of apathy/depression indicated a negative impact of these disorders on the effectiveness of VR - rehabilitation. Positive correlations of Δ RE with the parameters of physical aggression and the combination of anxiety/physical aggression show the expediency of VR-therapy in the rehabilitation of patients with a high level of these emotional disorders. CONCLUSION. The positive effect of VR-intervention on the regression of anxiety, asthenic and aggressive post-stroke disorders determines the prospect of introducing this method into the program of early rehabilitation of patients with ischemic stroke.

Chronic back pain is an actual problem of clinical medicine, the pathogenesis of which includes peripheral nociceptive stimulation, peripheral and/or central inflammation, abnormality of the central pain modulation network and mixed onset of various pathological mechanisms. Sources of nociceptive signal generation include the intervertebral disc, muscles, fasciae, facet joints, sacroiliac joints, pubic symphysis, ligaments and joint capsule, and other structures that contain nociceptors. Any event that causes tissue degeneration activates a massive inflammatory response that infiltrates the MPD, joints, muscles, fascia and other tissues, stimulates nociceptive receptors to produce inflammatory substances, which directly damages the nerve root and causes pain. Simultaneously, the damaged MPD and endplate stimulate pathological and invasive growth and proliferation of vessels and nerves in the MPD. Increasing evidence also suggests that systemic inflammation plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of chronic back pain. The central mechanism of back pain involves altered sensory processing in the brain. Dysfunction of the descending pain modulation system results in amplification of pain information in the brain. Since monotherapy for chronic back pain is not optimal, it is necessary to promote the comprehensive treatment recommended by current international clinical guidelines and it is reasonable to combine several therapies to improve the clinical effect of therapy. The combination of Tizanidine and Mirtazapine is an effective pharmacotherapy for chronic back pain. KEYWORDS: Chronic back pain, pathogenesis of dorsalgia, Tizanidine, Mirtazapine

Published: October 2024

The English language level of students-foreigners who are going to study at Ukrainian Universities plays a crucial role especially in the cases when their future practical lessons and lectures are delivered in English. The group of Turkish students who had to undergo the training in Medical University as future doctors demonstrated during the preliminary linguistic tests that English (and Ukrainian) knowledge of the majority of students was even lower than A1 level. The causes were as follows: the low level of school education, geographical position of their native places, i.e. their remoteness from the cultural centers of the country, age (the younger the worse) and others. The situation made the Ukrainian teachers, who were responsible for their English training, use some uncommon methods, which should have led to positive results. The methods are as follows: first of all to brake the opposition “teacher – students” which allows to put teachers and students in the same social position; to forbid the use of computer translator during the lessons except for learning the new lexis to stop the irresponsible attitude of students to classes; to control psychological situation during the training and follow the University psychologists advices. The results of such methods use are described in the presented article.

Silvio Ceccato, from language to thinking and return. One century ago the new Prometheus was born
Authors: Amietta Pier Luigi
Published: October 2024

The centennial anniversary of the birth of Silvio Ceccato has just occurred, on January 25th, 2014, recalling the genius of the creator of “Adam II”, and father of the Third Cybernetics, without any acknowledgment by the intellectual establishment. It is shameful. This contribution, included among the others in a Constructivist journal (Ceccato was an operationist), is meant to be a small revenge for someone who Walter Fornasa has defined “the greatest removed of italian culture”. This contribution is highlighting both the fundamental elements of the vision of this mind spelaeologist and the reasons explaining why Ceccato is a fallen Titan, but also someone whose bright research freed human thinking from metaphysical fogs and has opened the way to a new andragogy.

Berdasarkan hasil pengabdian masyarakat di SD Muhammadiyah 17 Kota Semarang, ditemukan bahwa banyak anak-anak yang belum memahami pentingnya mencuci tangan sebelum makan dan memilih makanan yang sehat. Melalui edukasi interaktif mengenai keamanan pangan dan kebersihan pribadi, siswa diajarkan tentang sumber penularan penyakit, cara mencuci tangan yang benar, dan pentingnya menjaga kebersihan tubuh. Kegiatan ini berhasil meningkatkan kesadaran siswa terhadap pentingnya kebersihan pribadi dan keamanan pangan. Selain itu, sesi diskusi dan tanya jawab menunjukkan antusiasme siswa dalam memahami materi yang diberikan. Kegiatan ini menunjukkan bahwa edukasi tentang food safety dan personal hygiene sejak dini efektif dalam meningkatkan pengetahuan siswa dan mencegah penyakit bawaan makanan.

This study investigates the awareness and attitudes of secondary school teachers in the Begusarai, Samastipur, and Khagaria districts towards environmental issues. As educators play acrucial role in shaping future generations, their understanding and perspectives on environmental concernsare paramount. The research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews, to gather comprehensive data on teachers' knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to environmental education. The sample includes 300 secondary school teachers, randomly selected fromvariousschoolsacross thethree districts. Thesurvey instrument comprises questionson environmental knowledge, attitudes towards environmental protection, and the incorporation of environmental topics in their teaching. Additionally, in-depth interviews provide nuanced insights into the teachers' motivations, challenges, and suggestions for improving environmental education. The findings reveal a moderate level of environmental awareness among the teachers, with significant variations based on factors such as age, teaching experience, and educational background. While most teachers recognize the importance of environmental education, there is a noticeable gap between awareness and practical implementation in the classroom. Key barriers identified include a lack of resources, insufficient training, and a crowded curriculum. The study concludes with recommendations for enhancing environmental education in the region, including targeted professional development programs, the integration of environmental topics across subjects, and increased support from educational authorities. By addressing these issues, it is hoped that teachers will be better equipped to foster environmentally conscious attitudes and behaviors among their students, contributing to the broader goal of sustainable development.

O presente estudo teve como objetivo analisar os constituintes e indícios de validade dos instrumentos avaliativos do estilo de vida (EV) em adultos. Revisão integrativa, sem delimitação temporal, com coleta de dados nas bases Science Direct, Cinahl, Scopus, Medline/Pubmed e Scielo. Foram selecionados oito estudos que utilizaram os questionários EV Fantástico, Questionário de experiência do paciente, MEDLIFE, MLCDP, questionário de triagem “prescrever vida saudável”, MOCHAD-10, KomPAN e CHAT. Os domínios mais presentes foram hábitos alimentares, atividade física, relacionamentos, sono, estresse, lazer, bem-estar, tristeza e uso de drogas lícitas (álcool e tabagismo). A maioria dos instrumentos tinha boa consistência interna e viabilidade para aplicação, contudo apenas um instrumento foi validado para o Brasil e este é multidimensional, o que o torna de difícil aplicação. Conclui-se que a avaliação do EV em adultos ainda é campo aberto para a pesquisa, pois os diferentes instrumentos analisados têm limitações, não havendo um questionário ideal e completo para avaliação do EV saudável em adultos.

A implantação de certificações e normas de controle de qualidade em serviços de alimentação tem sido vista como uma forma de alcançar um padrão de identidade e qualidade que atendam ao consumidor, à empresa e à legislação específica. A intensa urbanização e industrialização estimularam o crescimento e desenvolvimento do segmento do mercado que oferece refeições fora do lar. Essa tendência fez crescer também a exigência do cliente e necessidade de adequação das empresas na busca de formas de controle mais apurados para a produção de alimentos seguros. Com o objetivo de verificar a relevância da certificação em qualidade em serviços de alimentação, foi realizada revisão narrativa da literatura em publicações realizadas nas bases de dados do Portal de Periódicos da CAPES. Diante das publicações estudadas, constatou-se que o processo de certificação em qualidade para os serviços de alimentação possui potencial para expansão, verificando sua atuação mais voltada atualmente para a indústria de alimentos. Diante disso, torna-se imprescindível a adoção de certificações em qualidade nos serviços de alimentação, buscando englobar todos os processos da empresa de maneira a atuar em conjunto para se atingir um objetivo comum, a qualidade.

Background: Competency frameworks play a crucial role in guiding the education and training of doctoral candidates in diagnostic healthcare Fields. This scoping review aims to systematically map the existing literature on the development of competency frameworks and competency profiles tailored for doctoral-level education in diagnostic healthcare professions, particularly Pathology. Methodology: The Arksey and O’Malley framework was applied to undertake this scoping review. A comprehensive search strategy was developed using a combination of medical subject headings (MeSH) terms and keywords related to competency frameworks, clinical competence, professional competence, diagnostic healthcare profession, doctoral education, and synonyms. Electronic databases such as PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science were searched, along with targeted searches of grey literature sources like Google scholar. We screened studies for inclusion by title and abstract, and we included studies of any type that described the development of a competency profile/framework for doctoral candidates in a Diagnostic healthcare profession. Data compilation was qualitative. Results: The total records identified from the databases were n=204,351. Out of these the records removed before screening were Duplicate records removed (n =137,300). Records marked as ineligible by automation tools (n =51030), Records removed for other reasons (n =12,521). Records screened were n=3500. Based on the exclusion criteria n=3253 records were excluded. Reports which could not be retrieved were n=122. Finally, n=135 reports were assessing for eligibility and out of these n=71 were excluded from Allied Health Sciences and n=64 were excluded because they focused primarily on competencies of Nursing students. Finally, n=21 studies were included in the scoping review and the findings were charted. Conclusion: We observed significant variation within the conduct and reporting of the competency framework development process. While some variation can be expected given the differences across and within medical professions, our results suggest there is some difficulty in determining whether methods were fit-for-purpose, and therefore in making determinations regarding the appropriateness of the development process. This uncertainty may unwillingly create and legitimize uncertain or artificial outcomes. There is a need for improved guidance in the process for developing and reporting competency frameworks.
