Towards an integrated approach to teaching: a unified perspective on teaching skills
Authors: Vilcea C. , Pavel E.
Published: January 2023

This article postulates that teaching English had gone a long way before it was acknowledged that teaching grammar or teaching vocabulary could not be equated to teaching English. This realisation has changed teachers’ approach to teaching and learners’ awareness of the language’s ramified structure. By integrative approach it is understood the concurring of all teaching actions which address simultaneously language components and skills to the end of developing a full control of the language in learners. Faced with shortage of time, teachers avoid dealing with writing conventions, writing tasks or listening ones, to mention just a few of the time-consuming activities, in order to gain time for other skills which seem to prevail. Integrating in one’s teaching the pronunciation and writing conventions, the skills, vocabulary and grammar would offer a more integrative perspective of the learners on what they need or want to learn. By scrupulously relating the teaching items to other elements in the language, the progress would be faster, and the language would be better understood and learnt. At the same time, the article aims at establishing connections both within language and across domains of knowledge where English, or any other foreign language, plays the role of a means facilitating learning.
Co-constructing narratives throughout educational robotics in preschool small working groups
Authors: Monaco C. , Ceol T.
Published: January 2023

The research involved three Italian preschools, where children were considered as proper “researchers” about a new Programming Digital Storytelling (i-Code). Educational robotics was not considered as an interesting issue by itself, but it was managed as a tool that could support the construction of collective reasonings in small group discussions. The preschool children were involved into two research steps: (1) testing and evaluating the prototype of i- Code; (2) exploring and using the first complete version of the kit. The initial results show that: (a) children competently construct collective reasoning also concerning the world of robotics and the narrative co-construction can be enriched by i-Code; (b) the narrative coconstruction is much more effective when teachers play a modulation role inside the small groups.
The effect of intercultural communication in social media on figurative expressions usage
Authors: Alqahtani Demah Aamer
Published: January 2023

Figurative expressions, such as idioms, are used orally and in writing in everyday language. An idiom is an expression used by itself or as a part of a sentence, and its meaning cannot be derived from the literal meaning of its constituents. Idioms can add an extra level of difficulty to the language learning process (either L1 or L2) because after understanding the literal meaning of each word, the learner has to make sense of the figurative meaning and how to use it correctly. From a pedagogical point of view, social media platforms appear to be influential with regard to learning literal and figurative meaning because they provide a context where this new language item is being used. This research investigates the role of social media platforms in figurative language learning. Different idioms are retrieved from social media platforms to show the effect of intercultural inclusion between speakers of different languages (English and Arabic). It is expected that watching a video containing figurative expressions or reading the comment section where an idiom is used can help the learners infer the meaning and know precisely how to use it and in what context. Moreover, new idioms are starting to be translated and borrowed to different languages due to L2 learners' exposure to this idiom in different contexts, which gives them an accurate depiction of it. The light is shed on the role of bilinguals and L2 learners who can work as an intercultural link between speakers of Arabic and English.
Health and illness in memes – People’s attitudes in words and pictures
Authors: Santa (Campean) Gabriela Corina
Published: January 2023

The paper aims to analyse memes dealing with the antagonistic concepts of HEALTH and ILLNESS so as to reveal how the two concepts are perceived and expressed on the Internet. The corpus comprises a set of memes in English dealing with the concepts of HEALTH and ILLNESS retrieved from specific websites dedicated to the topic or social media networks. A conceptualisation of the messages conveyed by the memes represents an objective as memes embody people’s attitudes and beliefs rooted in their mental lexicon. The starting point is to detect memes dealing with the concepts of HEALTH and ILLNESS and group them according to the criteria of the concept and conveyed message, followed by a stage of analysis to detect similarities and differences in approaching the two concepts. The semantic meaning of the memes and the relevance of the pictures are considered together and analysed accordingly, as there is an indissoluble connection between words and images in memes. Additionally, the analysis will lead to the stage in which the memes are clustered into conceptual metaphors as they link to the mental lexicon and concepts in people’s thoughts. Consequently, the memes are analysed and conceptual metaphors are identified so as to unveil similarities and differences concerning the vocabulary, images and concepts. Finally, the conceptual metaphors are interconnected to reveal additional similarities and differences between the expressions of the concepts.
Neolocal but global? A cross-cultural insight into the neolocal discourse of craft beer industry
Authors: Soica Simona
Published: January 2023

Neolocalism, a movement that shifted the focus from the global to the local sense of place is highly illustrated by local food industry, particularly craft beer industry. Researchers have identified neolocal discourse indicators in terms of branding, environmental sustainability and community engagement. In this paper I look at the neolocal discourse of three craft breweries from Romania, France and United States of America as mirrored in the most active and interactive communication environment, the social media. My aim is to investigate the extent to which national cultures impact the neolocal discourse. I place the research within a cross-cultural framework in light of the cultural dimensions framed by Hofstede, and I carry out semiotic analysis of images and texts posted on the Facebook pages of three craft breweries, Mustață de bere, Romania, Deck & Donohue, France, and Bell’s Brewery, United States of America.
Size nouns in Romanian. Gliding along the quantifying – evaluating continuum
Authors: Tanase-Dogaru Mihaela
Published: January 2023

The paper looks at size nouns of the type grămadă ‘heap / pile’ in Romanian and classifies them into two categories: size nouns with a comparative interpretation (Doetjes and Rooryck 2003) and size nouns with a quantifying interpretation (Brems 2007; 2010), the latter reading being sometimes contextually extended to a third type of interpretation, the negative evaluation interpretation (Brems 2010). The two major types of readings that size nouns may have are read off a head-complement syntactic structure, typical for pseudopartitive constructions, which size nouns+de+N constitute a subcategory of (Tănase-Dogaru 2017). The comparative interpretation arises as a reflex of the semi-lexicality of the size noun, while the quantifying interpretation is a reflex of the size noun having lost its original lexical meaning, and therefore serving a functional role.

Sedentarism is a very actual problem in our society, and it has increasing rate because of the comfort that technology gives us. It can cause many health issues, starting with obesity and continuing with diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, cancer, osteoporosis, musculoskeletal diseases, depression, and cognitive function disorders. The objective of this study was to test the CoRehab software, which uses interactive games developed for each exercise, and prove its efficiency in prophylactic programs. The system uses motion tracking to control the games. The hardware consists of 5 motion-tracking sensors, a stabilizer platform, and a notebook with preinstalled software. Between the tests, we followed a prophylactic training program. Results: The scores of the second test in the daily score and precision categories were more miniature at 1.3%, but the values for stability and accuracy were more significant, with 11.5% and 10.5%. So, the program maintained a training level in 2 categories and improved it in the other two categories. Conclusion: Implementing this system in the kinetic prophylactic training programs could increase their efficiency, and it would help to follow the evolution of the subjects using it more accessible.

Authors: Antohe B.A. , Rata M. , Rata B.C. , Rata G.
Published: January 2023

Muscle lesions are among the most common injuries encountered in performance sports. Despite their high incidence, their diagnosis, classification, and treatment are constantly being debated. Most of the time, the severity of the injury indicates the recovery strategy (conservative, physical therapy, surgical, etc). Currently, due to advances in medical, pharmacological, and physical therapy, the treatment of muscle injuries can be greatly improved. Incomplete or incorrect recovery from a muscle injury can have a series of negative effects (financial or sports performance), which can affect the long-term career of athletes. Considering the incidence and costs that an injury can generate, in this paper, we set out to identify and present the latest approaches, used by specialists in the field, to facilitate the fastest recovery of athletes.

Certainty of climate information is essential for farmers in developing farming decisions but, climate forecasts produced by Climatology Station contain 30 per cent uncertainty. The fact that climatology station has carried out climate information dissemination to farmers in Lombok. However, many farmers experienced harvesting and planting failure due to climatic uncertainty. The objectives of this research are to describe the communication strategy implemented by the Kediri Climatology Station in communicating climate information to farmers on Lombok Island and to identify obstacles experienced in disseminating climate information. This research was conducted at the Kediri Climatology Station and on the island of Lombok using a descriptive method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive qualitative analysis. The results show that the strategies implemented by the Kediri Climatology Station were strategies to increase the station's credibility through the improvement of data collection technique and analysis to minimize uncertainty, compiling and packaging messages so that farmers easily understand them, conducting direct dissemination through climate field school (SLI) and indirect using media, trying to understand the social and economic conditions of the communicants as well as utilization of feedback. However, there are obstacles faced by the Kediri Climatology Station in providing climate information namely: many extension agents are reluctant to convey climate information to farmers, climate change that affects forecast accuracy, difficulty convincing the public, and lack of funds to conduct Climate Field School, limited personnel, and language barriers.

Diarrheal syndrome in COVID-19 is registered in 12–30% of patients. It is known to be associated with the severity and prognosis of the disease. The purpose is to describe the clinical features of mono- and mixed infections in children with gastrointestinal lesions during the COVID-19 pandemic. Material and methods. An observational retrospective study was conducted on the basis of Kazan Republican Clinical Hospital, which included observation of 160 children hospitalized with an infectious disease clinic that included gastrointestinal lesions. To confirm the COVID-19 diagnosis, standard methods were used (PCR, ICA, ELISA), for acute intestinal infection — bacteriological examination, determination of antigens in feces by LFIA. As part of statistical data processing (https://medstatistic.ru/calculators.html), we calculated the median, interquartile range, relative frequency (proportion), significance of differences between groups (Mann — Whitney test, chi-square, Fisher), the presence of a relationship between signs (rank correlation by Spearman). Results. Monoinfection was diagnosed in 50.6% of patients (81/160), in combination with rota- and noroviruses — in 39.4% (63/160), with bacterial pathogens — in 3.1% (5/160) of patients. Severe forms of the disease were not identified, signs of respiratory failure were observed in 1.9% (3/160) of patients. The gastritis variant of the gastrointestinal tract lesion was more often recorded with monoinfection (p < 0.05), gastroenteritis prevailed in combination with rotavirus infection (55.9%, 33/59). Interestingly, in the same groups, the proportion of children with colitis syndrome was high (23.5%, 19/81 and 40.7%, 24/59, respectively). Conclusion. Pediatric patients with the «diarrheal variant» of COVID-19 are the children, mostly younger one y. o. or older than seven y. o., with acute, but not «rapid» development of clinical symptoms, not requiring emergency hospitalization, who carry the infection in a mild or moderate form. Among the «intestinal» symptoms, gastritis or enteritis predominate, a short period of diarrhea, less pronounced than with classic AII (in frequency and duration) vomiting syndrome.

This literature review is devoted to the issues of non-drug and drug treatment of arterial hypertension in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Type 2 diabetes mellitus is the cause of severe disabling complications and a significant factor in increasing mortality. Arterial hypertension and diabetes mellitus are often combined and mutually burden each other’s course. Arterial hypertension increases the risk of formation and the rate of progression of micro- and macrovascular complications of diabetes. The presence of diabetes mellitus increases the risk of complications of hypertension by about 2 times. Achievement and stable maintenance of target blood pressure levels in people with diabetes and hypertension is one of the most important components of improving the prognosis. To do this, it is important to follow the recommendations for lifestyle changes, as well as the use of antihypertensive drugs. The article presents general issues of epidemiology and principles of determining the target level of blood pressure in different groups of patients. The issues of lifestyle changes and the choice of tactics for prescribing medications are discussed in detail, a brief description of the main groups of antihypertensive drugs is given.
Parameters of the global longitudinal myocardial deformation of the left ventricle in young women with connective tissue dysplasia
Authors:   Republican Clinical and Diagnostic Center, SMETANIN M. YU.
Published: January 2023

Diagnosis of undifferentiated connective tissue dysplasia (UCTD) is a complex and controversial problem in the clinic of internal diseases. The medical and social significance of UCTD in young women is due to the variability of symptoms and the progressive course with multiple organicity and polysystemic disease. In therapy and cardiology, attention is focused on the issues of timely diagnosis of heart failure (HF) in individuals with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LV EF). Expert-grade ultrasound scanners are used to identify preclinical signs of LV myocardial dysfunction and assess LV myocardial deformation. In young women with UCTD, the indicators of global longitudinal systolic LV deformation have not been specifically studied before. The purpose — to evaluate clinically the longitudinal deformation of the LV in young women with UCTD using speckle tracking echocardiography. Material and methods. Global longitudinal peak strain (GLPS_Avg) was assessed in 30 young women with UCTD (average age 24.2 (2.8) years). The control group included 32 practically healthy women, comparable in age (23.9 (2.4)) years without signs of UCTD. Results. The echographic parameters in both groups did not differ significantly (p>0.05) and were within the normative values. According to the GLPS_Avg assessment, it was found that the global longitudinal systolic LV deformation in the group of young women with UCTD was significantly lower than in the control group (p = 0.008). The results obtained may indicate a violation of the contraction and relaxation of the longitudinal fibers of the myocardium in young women with UCTD. Conclusion. It can be assumed that a reliable indicator of global longitudinal systolic LV deformation (GLPS_Avg) is explained by the presence in young women with UCTD of a defect in the connective tissue framework of the heart, which serves as a substrate for LV myocardial remodeling in this group of patients. Probably, there is a violation of the contraction and relaxation of the longitudinal fibers of the myocardium in young women with preserved LV EF. We can only guess the direction of further remodeling of the LV myocardium in young women with UCTD.

To assess the effectiveness of the work of a medical institution, it is necessary to analyze the quality of clinical diagnostics and compare clinical and pathoanatomic diagnoses. The purpose — to conduct a retrospective analysis of mortality in a multi-profile hospital by gender, age and nosological forms over the past 10 years. Material and methods. The data of 2195 protocols of postmortem pathoanatomic examination were studied, with the analysis of clinical and pathoanatomic diagnoses and taking into account the sex and age of deceased patients. The patients were divided into three age groups: young (up to 55 years old), elderly (56–70 years old) and senile (over 70 years old). Based on the final pathoanatomic diagnosis, the deceased patients were divided by nosology into 11 groups. Results. Over 10 years (2012–2021), 3731 people died in the hospital; 2195 of them (66.7%) were sent for a pathoanatomical autopsy. The frequency of discrepancy between clinical and pathoanatomic diagnoses averaged 6.7% (in 2012–2017), and over the past four years this percentage has fallen to almost zero. The analysis of mortality by nosological forms showed that cardiovascular diseases were found in 54.8% of all autopsies. The numbers of deaths in men and women were similar in almost all groups, only men had 1.5 times more repeated myocardial infarctions, and women were more often (1.5 times) diagnosed with diabetes as the main cause of death. It should be noted that diabetes, as a concomitant disease, was detected in every third patient in all groups, regardless of gender. In the group of oncological diseases, the leading position is occupied by colon cancer, which accounted for 37.7% of all tumors in men, while in women colon cancer was detected in 36.7% of deceased patients.

Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children associated with SARS-CoV-2 (MIS-C), which has signs of Kawasaki disease, can occur under the guise of various diseases and is characterized by a variety of clinical symptoms, severe damage to organs and systems. The polymorphism of the clinical picture of the disease causes difficulties in making a diagnosis, requires an integrated approach in the diagnosis and treatment of such patients, as well as long-term dynamic monitoring by specialized doctors (neurologist, cardiologist, hematologist, etc.). The article presents two clinical cases of children with MIS-C. The patients were hospitalized with suspected neuroinfection (meningitis?), however, a correctly collected medical history and clinical and laboratory data that met the WHO criteria made it possible to make the diagnosis and conduct adequate complex therapy.

PEDAGOGIA INSURGENTE: BUSCA POR RECONHECIMENTO E LUTA POR DIREITOS NO PENSAMENTO DE EMMANUEL LEVINAS
Authors: De Carvalho Felipe Rodolfo
Published: January 2023

Partindo da premissa de que o modelo pedagógico levinasiano incita a formação de alteridades insubmissas, este artigo pretende demonstrar como Emmanuel Levinas pensa a busca por reconhecimento, daí extraindo uma justificação legítima para as lutas por direitos. Isso é feito mediante uma leitura atenta das suas obras filosóficas e talmúdicas, que são exploradas numa espécie de diálogo com o pensamento frankfurtiano de Axel Honneth. Para tanto, após recuperar o traçado básico da pedagogia insurgente de Emmanuel Levinas, demonstra-se como ela está afinada com a sua filosofia, que opera paulatinamente um salto do ético ao político, especialmente quando enfatiza que aos outros não deve ser relegada uma mera posição de imobilismo e de aceitação do mal.
EU SOU MAKYESI: AUTOETNOGRAFIA NEGRA E A PERCEPÇÃO DA MINHA ANCESTRALIDADE MUKONGO EM SOLO ANGOLANO
Authors: Fernandes Mille Caroline Rodrigues
Published: January 2023

Entre os anos de 2018 a 2020 desenvolvi uma pesquisa em 8 (oito) províncias de Angola: Cabinda, Zaire, Uige, Bengo, Luanda, Malanje, Kwanza Norte e Kwanza Sul, as quais compunham os antigos Reinos Kongo, Ndongo e Matamba. O Interesse por estas províncias em específico foi por estarem ligadas ao processo do tráfico de africanos e africanas para o Brasil, precisamente para o Estado da Bahia devido as heranças percebidas através das marcas lexicais da língua Bantu no português, do uso de máscaras nos festejos, dos rituais de cura nas religiões de matriz Kongo-Angola e as formações de Kilombos[1]. Ao atravessar o Atlântico, pisar em solo angolano e retomar discussões históricas, entrevistando Reis, Rainhas, Ngangas, Mweni-xi, N’gola e Sekulos sobre a constituição do território que hoje chamamos Angola e como esta história, memória e ancestralidade constituem-se e inscrevem-se em nossos corpos diaspóricos negros e kilombolas na Bahia, mantendo-se vivos e vibrantes em nosso/a Ntu/Mutué (cabeça), Ntima/Muxima (coração) e Muanda/Nzumbi (espírito), minhas memórias da infância e adolescência foram acionadas, transpassando os portais ancestrais a partir do momento em que as autoridades tradicionais me reconheceram como Makyesi. Desta maneira, tomando emprestado a abordagem autoetnográfica negra, a proposta desta escrita é narrar, inicialmente, em que medida a vivência/experiência com a pluriversalidade de Angola e a percepção de mim como mukongo ativou minhas histórias e memórias pessoais, reconectando-me ao Eu-Makyesi, e em seguida, refletir como pesquisas desenvolvidas por mulheres negras estão fortemente entrelaçadas ao nosso ativismo negro.[1]A opção em utilizar a letra “k” para a grafia da palavra Kilombo e Kilombola é para enfatizar a origem deste termo que é bantu. E na grafia das línguas do grupo bantu não existem palavras que comecem com “qui”.

A DENÚNCIA COMO RESISTÊNCIA: A VIOLÊNCIA NOS CORPOS FEMININOS EM UMA PERSPECTIVA DE LONGA DURAÇÃO
Authors: Oliveira Angela Maria M de , Brito Fábio Leonardo Castelo Branco
Published: January 2023

O texto objetiva discutir, em uma perspectiva de longa duração, a experiência histórico-social de violência contra as mulheres no sertão piauiense, observando de que forma, do período colonial até a contemporaneidade, este processo se desdobra e se ressignifica, analisando, dessa maneira, tal violência como um fenômeno complexo e multi-diversificado, que abrange diferentes classes sociais, bem como cor, idade, região, escolaridade e estado civil. O argumento central desenvolvido atrela o processo em questão aos dispositivos de poder, geralmente masculinos, que configuram diferentes práticas de violência, tais como espancamentos, intimidações, humilhações e menosprezos, com a intenção de assujeitar mulheres. Entretanto, o poder é relacional, difuso, se por um lado existe a dominação masculina, por outro lado, existem as resistências femininas, elas ergueram suas vozes, deixaram claro que suas vivências e experiências não foram subservientes. Em termos teóricos, o texto se articula em torno de autores/as tais como Fernand Braudel, Michel Foucault, Walter Benjamin, Joan Scott e Pierre Ansart. Quanto à historiografia, dialoga com autores/as tais como Maria Beatriz Nizza da Silva, Maria Lúcia Mott, Mary Del Priore e Aníbal Quijano.

Recent Trends in Dry Eye Disease Treatment in Asia
Authors: Kawahara Atsushi
Published: January 2023

Purpose of review. Summarize recent trends in the treatment of dry eye disease (DED) in Asia.

Recent findings. In recent years, effective new generation eye drops, such as dicuafosol ophthalmic solution and rebamipide ophthalmic solution, which are mucin secretion stimulants, and cyclosporine ophthalmic solution, an immunosuppressive agent, have been approved in various countries for the treatment of DED. Additional newer adjunctive therapies such as laser acupuncture as an adjunctive therapy when eye drops do not provide satisfactory results, new generation intense pulsed light therapy and lid debris debridement for meibomian gland dysfunction-related DED, and human umbilical cord serum eye drops for severe DED are also of interest. These adjunctive therapies target the suppression of inflammation primarily.

Summary. New generation eye drops have made it possible to control mild DED. For patients with moderate to severe disease, the addition of eye drops and adjunctive treatment is recommended. Because DED with an unstable tear film is common in Asia, treatment of DED in Asia might first include mucin secretion-promoting eye drops, with anti-inflammatory treatment preferred if additional treatment is needed. In addition, further research is needed to improve treatment continuity because DED is a chronic disease requiring continuous treatment.

Background: European pond turtle is one of the two species of freshwater turtles in Iran. Regarding clinical examinations and diagnostic imaging techniques, it is necessary to have complete anatomical information on this turtle. Objectives: This study provided complete morphometric and normal two-dimensional computerized tomographic scanning information of the vertebrae of European pond turtles. Methods: Ten European pond turtles were used in this study. Computerized tomography (CT) scans were taken from each anesthetized turtle. Then, morphometric parameters were measured in the CT scans of the vertebral column. Results: Atlas was the shortest of the cervical vertebrae, and the eighth cervical vertebra was shorter than the previous vertebrae. The articular surface of the caudal articular processes of the eighth cervical vertebra was bent, and these surfaces were almost vertical. Transverse process width had remained constant in the cervical vertebrae. The transverse process was not observed in the dorsal vertebrae. The first dorsal vertebra had a different shape than others. Conclusion: The particular shape of the last two cervical vertebrae, especially the arched shape of the eight vertebrae. The seventh and eighth cervical vertebrae have the largest transverse distance between caudal articular processes that seem necessary for cervical motion. The limited space of the caudal cervical vertebrae inside the shell chamber can be the reason for the reduction in the length of these vertebrae. The absence of a spinous process in the seventh and eighth cervical vertebrae of the neck may be related to their specific position in the neck retraction.

Background: Formaldehyde is a volatile organic compound widely used in industry and medical fields such as Anatomy and Pathology. Exposure to this chemical negatively affects the skin, mucous membrane, and respiratory system. It can pass through the blood-brain barrier, potentially causing neurotoxicity. According to studies, formaldehyde might be involved in memory impairment and the cognitive decline process in Alzheimer disease (AD). Objectives: This study aimed to simulate chronic occupational formaldehyde exposure in rats and study its impacts on passive avoidance conditioning and anxiety. Methods: Twenty-four adult male Wistar rats were divided into four groups of 6 rats each. After an adaptation period, the rats were exposed to 1, 2, and 3 ppm formaldehyde vapor in an exposure chamber, 6 hours per day for 7 days. The control group was exposed to saline. After the exposure period, a shuttle box for passive avoidance conditioning and an elevated plus-maze test for assessing anxiety levels were performed. The data were analyzed by 1-way ANOVA and Duncan’s multiple range test for group comparison in SPSS and SAS software. Results: In the shuttle box test, formaldehyde dose-dependently decreased escape-through latency and increased the percentage of dark compartment entries (P<0.0001). In the elevated plus maze test, the percentage of time spent in open arms decreased by increasing the dosage (P<0.0001). Conclusion: Based on these findings, formaldehyde exposure can negatively alter brain function and cause memory impairment and anxiety.

Background: Detecting Döhle body inclusions in cat neutrophils is one of the most relevant toxic changes with clinical significance. It is necessary to study pre-analytical factors such as temperature and blood storage time on the formation of these toxic changes. Objectives: The present study sought to investigate the impact of blood storage time and temperature on Döhle or Döhle-like inclusions in cat neutrophils. Methods: Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) blood samples were obtained from 8 cats without evidence of Döhle inclusions on fresh blood smears (T0). Samples were stored at room temperature (RT) and 4°C as routine storage temperatures of samples in the laboratory. Smears were prepared 2 (T2), 4 (T4), 8 (T8), and 24 (T24) hours following the blood draw for each storage condition. Döhle or Döhle-like inclusions were assessed on each smear randomly selected. Results: The percentages of neutrophils with Döhle or Döhle-like inclusions in T8 and T24 increased significantly at RT and 4°C, respectively (P<0.001) compared to T0. The smears prepared from blood samples stored at RT contained more neutrophils with Döhle or Döhle-like inclusions than 4°C. A significant difference was not found in the percentages of neutrophils with these inclusions between the two temperatures at any storage times. Conclusion: The development of Döhle body-like in cat neutrophils occurs when the analysis is delayed, especially at higher storage temperatures. This condition may affect diagnosis and clinical decisions. Therefore, the blood smears should be prepared as soon as the blood is drawn to reduce pre-analytical changes.

Background: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an important healthcare-associated pathogen that is also an emerging zoonosis. Objectives: A cross-sectional study was conducted to investigate the prevalence of MRSA in dairy cattle farms in Kebbi, North-Western Nigeria. Methods: A total of 200 milk samples, consisting of 50 samples each from lactating cows, were collected and used. The samples were analyzed using bacterial culture and isolation and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Suspected MRSA isolates were identified via PCR detection of the mecA gene, and antimicrobial susceptibility profiles of the isolates were assessed using the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method. Results: Of the two hundred milk samples examined, the prevalence of MRSA was recorded at 18% (36/200) using phenotypic and genotypic characterization methods. The susceptibility to vancomycin was observed in all isolates, and they had a multiple antibiotic resistance (MAR) index of >0.4. Conclusion: This investigation showed the colonization of healthy dairy cows by multidrug-resistant MRSA.
