Published: December 2021

Introdução: As enteroparasitoses são doenças com um potencial de infecção cosmopolita, que afetam com alta frequência as faixas etárias que possuem imunidade debilitada, principalmente se os indivíduos estiverem em um ambiente propício a infecções. Todavia, esse tipo de doença pode ser evitado através de hábitos de higiene. Objetivo: Verificar o conhecimento sobre enteroparasitas e a atitude das crianças do Projeto Cidadão do Amanhã diante da prevenção de doenças. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo quase experimental, realizado com as crianças de 6 a 12 anos, cadastradas no Projeto Cidadão do Amanhã e atendidas na Clínica de Enfermagem da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, ambas na cidade de Santa Cruz-RN. Utilizou-se como amostra 40 crianças, sendo utilizado para coleta de dados dois instrumentos. Resultados: Verificou-se o conhecimento de escolares em quatro categorias: 1) Hábitos de higiene; 2) Contaminação alimentar; 3) Autocontaminação e 4) Dermatites tópicas, observando no resultado do pós-teste aplicado ao grupo 2, melhora de acertos nas respostas, de modo que acredita-se que a educação em saúde seja a principal forma de prevenção tanto das enteroparasitoses, quanto de outras doenças que possam vir a afetar a vida não apenas do grupo aqui estudado, mas da população em geral. Conclusão: Conclui-se que há a necessidade de implantação e implementações de ações e serviços de saúde, bem como o fortalecimento da educação básica, para promover a saúde da referida população e prevenir o acometimento de parasitoses.

Authors: Medeiros Renato
Published: December 2021

Este artigo apresenta partes dos resultados de uma pesquisa de doutorado que tratou da relação entre a concepção do projeto no ensino de Arquitetura e sua integração com o conteúdo tecnológico-construtivo, tendo em vista a importância da compreensão da materialização do artefato arquitetônico desde as fases iniciais do projeto. Buscou-se compreender a inserção dos conhecimentos relacionados às questões construtivas na concepção de projetos no atelier de ensino de arquitetura, no sentido de buscar promover uma melhor integração de conteúdos e gerar maior reflexão no processo projetual. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida nos cursos de Arquitetura e Urbanismo da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN) e durante um estágio doutoral tipo sanduiche, na Faculdade de Arquitectura da Universidade de Lisboa (FA-UL), em Portugal. No campo da sala de aula, afirma-se, ao final dessa investigação, que os estudos de caso demonstraram a importância do planejamento didático e clareza da definição de objetivos a serem alcançados nos ateliers de projeto. A identificação ou clareza quanto ao conteúdo dos produtos a serem entregues funciona como o estabelecimento de metas para os participantes, sejam eles professores ou alunos. A análise dos processos de ensino-aprendizagem demonstrou que também deve ser estimulado o uso do pensamento divergente e não convergente, a fim de tratar a arquitetura como um sistema, como já apontado por Boudon et al (2001), Cox (2005) e Deplazes (2010).
Application Progress of Gd-EOB-DTPA-Enhanced MRI T1 Mapping in Hepatic Diffuse Diseases
Authors: Xu Long , Wen Xing , Feng Xu , Kang Yao
Published: December 2021

Background:

In recent years, T1 mapping imaging based on Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has resulted in new research and clinical applications in hepatic
diseases.

Objective:

The objective of the study is to analyze, prospect, and summarize the Gd-EOB-DTPA-
enhanced MRI T1 mapping technology in hepatic diseases in recent years.

Main Findings:

Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced T1 mapping has been used more frequently in liver diseases
regardless of 1.5T or 3.0T MRI equipment. Volume interpolated body examination (VIBE)
mapping sequence seems to be the recommended MRI scan sequence. In the evaluation of T1 value
on liver function, the hepatobiliary phase 10 minutes after enhancement is the recommended
time point. The fat fraction and hepatic steatosis grade based on MRI-derived biomarkers are easier
to implement and popularize than a liver biopsy. Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI T1 mapping can
not only be used to evaluate the degree of liver injury, the stage of liver fibrosis, and the liver reserve
function of patients with liver cirrhosis but also to distinguish focal liver lesions and predict
the differentiation degree of hepatocellular carcinoma. At the same time, it has some value in predicting
tumor immunohistochemical indexes, such as Ki67, CD34.

Conclusion:

Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI T1 mapping has great potential in the application of
diffuse and focal liver lesions. It is a quantitative study, trying to select homogeneous research objects
and try to use the same standards in scanning sequence and scanning time, especially for the
study of liver function, which is a focus of future research. The research on the relationship between
T1 value and tumor immunohistochemical indexes is worth consideration.
Effect of Edaravone on MicroRNA Expression in Exosomes after Hepatic Ischemia-reperfusion Injury
Authors: Fei Yanxia , Shao Jiali , Huang Ge , Wang Lijuan , Zou Shuangfa , Sun Huiping , Zheng Chumei , Yang Jinfeng
Published: December 2021

Background and Objective:

Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (HIRI) results in serious complications after liver resection and transplantation. Edaravone (ED) has a protective effect on IRI. This study was designed to evaluate whether ED could protect the liver of rats from HIRI injury and explored its exosomal miRNA-related mechanism.

Methods:

The sham group, hepatic ischemia/reperfusion (IR group), and hepatic ischemia/reperfusion + edaravone (ED group) models were established. We determined the protective effect of ED by measuring alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD); enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for tumor necrosis factor- α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β); hematoxylin-eosin staining and immunohistochemistry for histopathological changes. Exosomal miRNAs were subjected to second-generation sequencing to identify their differential expression. The results were analyzed using bioinformatics methods and validated using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR).

Results:

HIRI rats showed higher levels of ALT, AST, oxidative stress, and inflammatory markers; ED attenuated these effects. The sequencing results showed 6 upregulated and 13 downregulated miRNAs in the IR vs. sham groups, 10 upregulated and 10 downregulated miRNAs in the ED vs. IR groups. PC-3p-190-42101 was screened as an overlapping differentially expressed miRNA, and RT-qPCR validation showed that its expression in HIRI rats was significantly decreased; ED prevented this downregulation. Moreover, the expression of PC-3P-190-42101 was significantly correlated with the level of inflammatory factors.

Conclusion:

These findings indicate that ED can regulate the level of inflammatory factors by affecting the expression of miRNA PC-3p-190-42101 in plasma exosomes to protect the liver from IRI.
'Mucormycosis': A Fungal Infection Threatening India During COVID-19' - A Review
Authors: Ashique Sumel
Published: December 2021

:

During the second wave of Covid-19 in India, doctors recently reported a outbreak of cases involving a rare infection-called the “black fungus”-among recovering and recovered Covid-19 patients. The frequency of bacterial and fungal coinfections has been continuously rising. At the same time, invasive pulmonary aspergillosis is increasingly being recognized in association with nCOVID-19. Currently, India is suffering from a newly maiming disease associated with nCOVID-19 infected patients; at the time of the treatment, it can be developed into rhino-orbital mucormycosis. There are some approved antifungal therapies for treating this fungal infection. The background, risk factors, and associated reports about the infection are described in this review.
The Impact of a Mobile App on Participation in Cardiac Rehabilitation and Understanding Barriers to Success: Comparative Cohort Study
Authors: Rivers John T , Smith Carla , Smith Ian , Cameron James
Published: December 2021

Background

Poor patient uptake of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) remains a challenge for multiple reasons including geographic, time, cultural, cost, and psychological constraints.

Objective

We evaluated the impact on CR participation rates associated with the addition of the option of mobile app–based CR (Cardihab) for patients declining conventional CR.

Methods

A total of 204 consecutive patients were offered CR following angioplasty; of these, 99 were in cohort 1 (offered conventional CR only) and 105 were in cohort 2 (app-based CR offered to those declining conventional CR). Patients in each cohort were followed throughout a 6-week CR program and participation rates were compared for both groups. Patients in cohort 2 declining both forms of CR were interviewed to assess reasons for nonparticipation.

Results

CR participation improved from 21% (95% CI 14%-30%) to 63% (95% CI 53%-71%) with the addition of the app (P<.001). Approximately 25% (9/39) of the group declining the app-based program identified technology issues as the reason for nonparticipation. The remainder declined both CR programs or were ineligible due to frailty or comorbidities.

Conclusions

Providing patients with the additional option of an app-based CR program substantially improved CR participation. Technology and psychological barriers can limit CR participation. Further innovation in CR delivery systems is required to improve uptake.
A Clinical Decision Support System for Sleep Staging Tasks With Explanations From Artificial Intelligence: User-Centered Design and Evaluation Study
Authors: Hwang Jeonghwan , Lee Taeheon , Lee Honggu , Byun Seonjeong
Published: December 2021

Background

Despite the unprecedented performance of deep learning algorithms in clinical domains, full reviews of algorithmic predictions by human experts remain mandatory. Under these circumstances, artificial intelligence (AI) models are primarily designed as clinical decision support systems (CDSSs). However, from the perspective of clinical practitioners, the lack of clinical interpretability and user-centered interfaces hinders the adoption of these AI systems in practice.

Objective

This study aims to develop an AI-based CDSS for assisting polysomnographic technicians in reviewing AI-predicted sleep staging results. This study proposed and evaluated a CDSS that provides clinically sound explanations for AI predictions in a user-centered manner.

Methods

Our study is based on a user-centered design framework for developing explanations in a CDSS that identifies why explanations are needed, what information should be contained in explanations, and how explanations can be provided in the CDSS. We conducted user interviews, user observation sessions, and an iterative design process to identify three key aspects for designing explanations in the CDSS. After constructing the CDSS, the tool was evaluated to investigate how the CDSS explanations helped technicians. We measured the accuracy of sleep staging and interrater reliability with macro-F1 and Cohen κ scores to assess quantitative improvements after our tool was adopted. We assessed qualitative improvements through participant interviews that established how participants perceived and used the tool.

Results

The user study revealed that technicians desire explanations that are relevant to key electroencephalogram (EEG) patterns for sleep staging when assessing the correctness of AI predictions. Here, technicians wanted explanations that could be used to evaluate whether the AI models properly locate and use these patterns during prediction. On the basis of this, information that is closely related to sleep EEG patterns was formulated for the AI models. In the iterative design phase, we developed a different visualization strategy for each pattern based on how technicians interpreted the EEG recordings with these patterns during their workflows. Our evaluation study on 9 polysomnographic technicians quantitatively and qualitatively investigated the helpfulness of the tool. For technicians with <5 years of work experience, their quantitative sleep staging performance improved significantly from 56.75 to 60.59 with a P value of .05. Qualitatively, participants reported that the information provided effectively supported them, and they could develop notable adoption strategies for the tool.

Conclusions

Our findings indicate that formulating clinical explanations for automated predictions using the information in the AI with a user-centered design process is an effective strategy for developing a CDSS for sleep staging.
Using Biological Feedback to Promote Health Behavior Change in Adults: Protocol for a Scoping Review
Authors: Richardson Kelli M , Saleh Ahlam A , Jospe Michelle R , Liao Yue , Schembre Susan M
Published: December 2021

Background

Many health conditions can be prevented, managed, or improved through behavioral interventions. As a component of health behavior change interventions, biological feedback is of particular interest given recent advances in wearable biosensing technology, digital health apps, and personalized health and wellness. Nevertheless, there is a paucity of literature to guide the design and implementation of interventions that incorporate biological feedback to motivate health behavior change.

Objective

The goal of this scoping review is to deeply explore the use of biological feedback as a component of health behavior change interventions that target adults. The objectives of the review include (1) mapping the domains of research that incorporate biological feedback and (2) describing the operational characteristics of using biological feedback in the context of health behavior change.

Methods

A comprehensive list of search terms was developed to capture studies from a wide range of domains. The studies to be included are randomized controlled trials published as primary research articles, theses, or dissertations targeting adults 18 years and older, who use biological feedback to change a health-related behavior. The following electronic databases were searched: Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, EBSCOhost, PsycINFO, and ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global. The screening and data extraction process will be guided by the Joanna Briggs Institute Manual for Evidence Synthesis and conducted by trained reviewers.

Results

Database searches were completed in June 2021. A total of 50,459 unique records were returned after the removal of 48,634 duplicate records. The scoping review is planned for completion in 2022.

Conclusions

To our knowledge, this will be the first scoping review to map the literature that uses biological feedback as a component of health behavior change interventions targeting adults. The findings will be used to develop a framework to guide the design and implementation of future health behavior change interventions that incorporate biological feedback.

CORRELATION OF SERUM ALBUMIN AND CREATININE WITH OXIDATIVE STRESS MARKERS IN PATIENTS HAVING NEPHROTIC SYNDROME
Authors: PARMAR GLORY S. , MISTRY KINNARI N. , GANG SISHIR
Published: December 2021

Objective: Children with nephrotic syndrome (NS) have a stressful condition, and oxidative damage may impair their treatment response. This study aims to gain a better understanding of the relationship between oxidative stress and NS to lay the basis for further research into improved diagnostic options, treatment, and prevention of the disease.
Methods: We took a blood sample from 100 Indian patients aged 2-14 y. Each patient was tested for oxidative stress. The buege method was used to assess MDA levels in patients. The pyrogallol method was used to measure SOD activity in blood serum, and the jollow method was used to measure glutathione levels.
Results: The levels of oxidative stress markers (MDA, SOD, and GSH) were compared between NS patients and the control. SOD and GSH concentrations were significantly decreased in the NS group when compared to the control. In contrast, MDA level was significantly higher in the NS group than in the control. In the correlation analysis, we found that the serum SOD activity was significantly positively correlated with serum albumin and creatinine level in patients with NS. Thus, oxidative stress in children with NS is indicated by reduced antioxidant potential because of low albumin. Therefore, it is thought that oxidative stress is implicated in the development of NS in Indian children.
Conclusion: We concluded that oxidative stress was intensified in children with NS due to decreased antioxidant levels caused by hypoalbuminemia.

Published: December 2021

The management and disposal of the sewage sludge (SS) generated by a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) as part of the municipal wastewater (MWW) treatment process is one of the main socio-environmental issues faced by this type of system. Taxco de Alarcón, Guerrero, in southern Mexico has had a WWTP operating since 2016, and the SS disposal is a task that must be addressed by the WWTP. Thus, the aim of this work was to evaluate the growth capacity of Panicum maximum, also known as mombaza grass (MG), by using SS generated within the "Taxco de Alarcón wastewater treatment plant" as substrate. To do so, 4 g of MG seeds were scattered over 5 kg (dry basis) of SS. As a control, a commercial compost soil was used, hereafter called pattern soil (PS). The experiment was carried out in triplicates for three months and drinking water (water used for human consumption) was used for crop irrigation. Each month a MG harvest was carried out. The response variables analyzed for MG were germination time (one month after plant emergence), height (HMG), growth rate GrMG, and yield (YMG), whereas in the SS and PS the content of organic matter was analyzed. Furthermore, the chemical composition was analyzed using scanning electron microscopy and X-ray energy dispersion spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) on the MG, SS, and PS. The results showed that MG germinated faster on PS (5 days) than germination on SS (7 days). However, the MG grown on SS reached a considerably higher height (45 cm) compared to the height reached on PS (17 cm). Furthermore, the maximum GrMG over SS was also higher than the maximum GrMG observed on the PS, 3.64 and 1.40 cm∙day-1, respectively. In terms of YMG, it was observed that on SS it reached an average monthly YMG of 416 g∙m-2, whereas in PS it reached a YMG of 72 g∙m-2. The chemical analysis detected P, K, Ca, Mg, and S, considered macronutrients in both substrates. Besides, some micronutrients identified in SS were Cu, Fe, Mn, and Zn, whereas in PS it was also possible to detect micronutrients except Mn and Zn. All the macronutrients detected in the substrates were observed in the harvested MG. However, in the MG harvested in PS, Mn and Zn were not detected. Hence, a feasible disposal strategy for the SS generated by the Taxco de Alarcón WWTP is as a substrate for grass forage MG by its high organic matter content, the significant presence of macro and micronutrients, and the performance shown by MG cultivated in SS. Furthermore, the SS characteristics provide added value and can be considered as organic amendments of agricultural soils.
Geology and geochemistry of jasperoids from the ‘Montaña de Manganeso’ district, San Luis Potosí, north-central Mexico
Authors: Madondo Joseph , Canet Carles , Núñez-Useche Fernando , González-Partida Eduardo
Published: December 2021

Large outcrops of jasperoids occur in the ‘Montaña de Manganeso’ mining district in north-central Mexico. They range from massive manganiferous jasperoids to highly brecciated, hematitic jasperoid. The jasperoids of ‘Montaña de Manganeso’ occur mainly as replacements of limestone, sandstone and shale, commonly nearby high-angle fault systems. The mineralogy of the jasperoids consist of quartz and its polymorphs (chalcedony, tridymite and cristobalite), Fe-Mn oxyhydroxides, calcite and minor barite. Many outcrops show evidence of several periods of brecciation and silicification. The geochemical signature of the jasperoids suggests that silicification was product of hydrothermal activity. The jasperoids display enrichment in elements of hydrothermal provenance such as Ba, Sr, As, Cr, Mo, Sb, Ni, Zn and Cu, whereas are strongly depleted in the elements indicative of clastic sources such as Ti, K, Th and Zr. Element ratios such as (Fe+Mn)/Ti, Al/(Al+Fe+Mn), Fe/Mn and U /Th, along with the Al-Fe-Mn and Fe-Mn-(Ni+Co+Cu)×10 ternary diagrams confirm a hydrothermal origin. Low ∑REE, an enrichment of LREE over HREE, negative Ce anomalies and positive Y anomalies (YPASS/HoPAAS) also support the hydrothermal processes. The geological evidence, in the form of a feeder zone and extensive hydrothermal alteration, show that the silica forming the rocks originated from ascending hot fluids.

Published: December 2021

The present work is a case study of 8 bipolar patients under lithium therapy, being all of them members of the lithium group of the Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre. It describes the dental management of bipolar patients under lithium therapy, emphasizing dental caries and the clinical method of intervention. The work was divided into three phases, existing a ninety-day interval between each ofthem. In the first part ofthe research, dental examinations were carried out and the patients were interviewed with the special purpose of describing each one of them regarding his buccal health. They were also inquired about their experience in living with the bipolar disease, about the medication taken and its side effects. The patients received dental treatment according to the clinical method as they also attended health educational sessions destined to increase their autonomy up to the dental dismissal. In the second and third phases, the exams that had been carried out in the first phase were repeated in order to analyze the commitment of each bipolar patient to the proposed dental treatment. The questions about the relationship between the bipolar patient and the treatment of this disease were also repeated. It was concluded that the results of the dental exams were related to the degree of stabilization of the bipolar disease; the patients detaining the best results in the dental treatment were those who had the bipolar disease stabilized. It was concluded that, having in mind the occurrence frequency of bipolar disease, it would be plausible that a denfist who works in the Public Service sooner or later would attend bipolar patients; bipolar patients are a peculiar population group that need a specific dental program; the planning and scheduling of these specific odontological programs for bipolars should take into account the disruptions in the dental therapy, caused by the disease and it is also necessary to renegotiate with the bipolar, his responsibilities and his motivation for buccal self-care, which will result in more frequent dental visits.

Published: December 2021

La monitorización del flujo de los sistemas de alcantarillado permite conocer el comportamiento real de cada sistema y sirve de herramienta primordial en la gestión de las aguas residuales. Para el diseño de sistemas de alcantarillado es necesario conocer los flujos de aguas residuales que serán transportados por el sistema y con base en estos volúmenes se debe estimar los factores que representan los patrones de consumo y las características propias de cada comunidad. En ausencia de información estos factores se deben estimar con ecuaciones empíricas existentes, desarrolladas en investigaciones realizadas en diferentes ciudades del mundo. El objetivo principal de esta investigación es estimar los factores propios del sistema de alcantarillado sanitario de San José de Cúcuta, para esto se implementó durante 19 semanas la monitorización del flujo de aguas residuales y al realizar el análisis de los datos se obtuvo la variación horaria del caudal entrante al sistema, con base en los caudales medidos, se determinó el factor de mayoración que representa las características propias de la ciudad; también se comparó el factor obtenido con los resultados de las ecuaciones empíricas existentes y se pudo identificar cuál de estas ecuaciones se ajusta mejor a las campañas de monitoreo.
Temperature-induced Multi-species Cohort Effects in Sympatric Snakes
Authors: King Richard
Published: December 2021

In reptiles, reproductive maturity is often determined by size rather
than age. Consequently, growth early in life may influence population
dynamics through effects on generation time and survival to
reproduction. Because reproductive phenology and pre- and post-natal
growth are temperature-dependent, environmental conditions may induce
multi-species cohort effects on body size in sympatric reptiles. I
present evidence of this using ten years of neonatal size data for three
sympatric viviparous snakes, Dekay’s Brownsnakes (Storeria dekayi),
Red-bellied Snakes (S. occipitomaculata) and Common Gartersnakes
(Thamnophis sirtalis). End-of-season neonatal size varied in parallel
across species such that snout-vent length was 36-61% greater and mass
was 65-223% greater in years when gestating females could achieve
higher April-May (vs. June-July or August-September) operative
temperatures. Thus, temperature had a larger impact during follicular
enlargement and ovulation than during gestation or post-natal growth.
Multi-species cohort effects like these may affect population dynamics
and increase with climate change.
Jefrem Bojovic’s letters addressed to Nil Alexandrovich Popov
Authors: Puzovic Vladislav
Published: December 2021

There are 19 unpublished letters written by latter bishop of Zica Jefrem
Bojovic, preserved in The Manuscripts Department of The Russian State
Library of Moscow. These letters, addressed to Nil Alexandrovich Popov, are
part of a personal collection of this famous Russian scholar in the field of
history and Slavic literature. Letters from this collection were written
from 1874 until 1886, while Bojovic was a student at The Moscow Spiritual
Academy and a professor in the Seminary of Belgrade. These letters are a
great source for Bishop Jefrem?s biography, especially for understanding his
relationships with Russia. They witness a sincere friendship with Popov, one
of the most prominent people in relations between Serbs and Russians, during
the second half of the 19th century. These letters are important in order to
understand Bojovic?s point of view, regarding the issues of Serbian social,
political and church life in the 9th decade of the 19th century. Serbian
Government led Pro-Austrian politics during that period of time, which
affected relationships within Serbian Church and society. The most
significant consequence was an uncanonical replacement of the Serbian
Metropolitan Mihailo (Jovanovic) and his hierarchy. Bojovic was the first
source witness of these events, who was actively supporting Metropolitan
Mihailo. During his studies in Russia, Jefrem Bojovic became a true lover of
Slavs, which formed his further views. The mentioned documents were analyzed
in this study for the first time, and they will hopefully enrich the
biography of Jefrem Bojovic. This study should help us to understand better
the occasions within the church, society and politics in Serbia during the
ninth decade of the 19th century.

Covid-19 pandemic has changed the lives of people around the world. The
specific situation in which the world found itself, required the adjustment
of the forms of human behaviuor, in terms of constant and timely
information. The study, conducted on a sample of 300 students and five
universities and high schools in Serbia, aimed to examine the way students
are informed about the Covic-19 pandemic, as well as students? attitudes
about measures taken by the Government of the Republic of Serbia to combat
the Covid-19 pandemic. Covid-19 has become an unavoidable topic in all
communication channels. The media and social networks transmit numerous
researches and theses on a daily basis and thus become the basis and the
most accessible source of information, but one can often come across various
information that leads to misconceptions. The most common information
channel is represented by social networks and media, after that, students
list friends as a source of information, then the Internet, doctors and
finally all of the above. Although almost a third of the respondents trust
the profession the most, that is, the doctor?s recommendations, as many as a
tenth of the surveyed students do not trust it. It is also worrying that the
majority of respondents do not have a positive attitude towards the measures
adopted by the Government of the Republic of Serbia with the aim of
combating the consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Effects of laser parameters on machining precision and quality of wave-permeable materials
Authors: Zhang Lin , Yang Zhen , Fang Zheng , Cheng Jian
Published: December 2021

Wave-permeable materials with certain metallic film patterns are of importance for electromagnetic wave transportation. Laser processing showed obvious advantages when fabricating such materials. The article studied the etching effects of key laser parameters on Al-coated composite materials. It is found that (1) a balance of etching quality and efficiency could be obtained when the operating laser energy density is about five to eight times that of the ablation threshold; (2) the effects of the laser focal spot size and the pulse overlap are interrelated to decide machining precision; and (3) the laser scanning trajectory affects the appearance of the etched surface, possibly due to the fiber bundle braided direction. The findings could benefit similar wave-permeable materials laser processing.

Published: December 2021

Low-power laser therapy (LLLT) has become a common practice in medicine, particularly in physical medicine and rehabilitation. The purpose of this review study was to evaluate the effect of low-level laser therapy on neurological disorders such as peripheral nerve regeneration, spinal cord injury, stroke, and neurodegenerative diseases. Laser therapy increases ATP synthesis and reduces oxidative stress by improving the efficiency of the electron transport chain in the mitochondria. It also activates transcription factors, suppresses inflammatory factors, and influences neurotrophic factors such as brain-derived neurotrophic factor and nerve growth factor. This review study affirms the beneficial effect of LLLT on neurorehabilitation since LLLT produced a significant amount of structural and cellular change. The results of this review suggest that laser therapy may be a viable approaches for treatment the neurological disorders.

El herpes zóster es una enfermedad infecciosa, aguda y autolimitada dada por la reactivación del virus varicela-zóster. Su frecuencia anual es de 0,74 a 3,4 casos por cada 1000 habitantes. Afecta a todas las razas. El género masculino presenta mayor prevalencia, siendo más frecuente en los adultos de 30 años de edad y en ancianos. Lo peculiar de esta entidad es que se caracteriza por ser de distribución metamérica-dermatomal, manifestándose comúnmente en regiones como el tórax, ubicación cervical o lumbosacra; sin embargo, un pequeño porcentaje afecta otras áreas y pares craneales; así en 10 a 17% al par craneal V (trigémino), existiendo una probabilidad de 76% de complicaciones oculares, y el compromiso de los pares craneales VII (facial) y VIII (vestibulococlear), que podrían causar el síndrome de Ramsay-Hunt. Una de las complicaciones a largo plazo es la neuralgia posherpética. A continuación, se presenta un paciente que cursó con esta patología, con afección en regiones infrecuentes: oftálmica y auricular...
