Authors: Afanasyeva Olyesya , Ivanov Evgeniy , Makushev Andrey
Published: November 2023

Abstract. The global brewing industry has recently undergone a series of changes, both related to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic (for example, the development of online sales), and based on structural changes caused by changes in consumer demand (reduction in total consumption due to the expansion of various alternative products, growth craft breweries, increased consumption of premium beer, etc.). The authors set a purpose to explore the industry for further use of information in order to establish the impact of new trends in the brewing industry on the hop industry. Methods. The calculations were carried out using the methods of statistical analysis of data from international and Russian official Internet resources. Scientific novelty. The main consumers of hop products are brewers. Accordingly, the identification of trends in the development of the brewing industry will serve as a good information base for making decisions about the direction of development of hop-growing. Results. Taking into account the global trend of accelerated development of craft brewing (China, USA), we can make an unambiguous conclusion about the great prospects for the development of aromatic hop varieties. In China, craft beer consumption is expected to triple by 2025. In the USA, consumers also prefer beer with unique flavors to the already fed up traditional beer drinks. Transnational companies, in turn, are trying to get out of the situation by making their products cheaper. In Brazil and Mexico, the main market share is occupied by subsidiaries of the large transnational company AB InBev. The German market has stabilized for a long time, a small negative dynamics of the market volumes is caused by a large number of alternative drinks. In Russia, beer consumption per person is also decreasing. However, beer sales in value terms continue to grow (mainly due to price growth). As of the beginning of 2022, 70 % of the Russian market was accounted for by transnational companies, which are the main consumers of hop extracts, the production of which is technologically more difficult than the production of hop pellets.

The purpose of the study was to study the state of the autonomic nervous system and the level of endogenous intoxication markers in animals during pregnancy, physiological and complicated by gestosis and toxic liver dystrophy (hepatosis) and their combination. Materials and methods were used in accordance with the assigned tasks. In the conditions of two farms specializing in the production of milk and located in the Belgorod and Pskov regions, studies were conducted, the object of which were cows of the Red-and-White and Holstein Black-and-White breeds at the age of 3–6 years with a gestational age of 240–250 days. As a result of experimental tests, it was revealed that in cows with moderate gestosis, in addition to traditional hypertension, proteinuria and edema, there is an increase in heart rate variability, tachycardia, hypersympathicotonia, neutrophilocytosis, lymphocytopenia and resorptive endotoxication. With a combination of gestosis and hepatosis, the appearance of new (integral) and strengthening of pathophysiological phenomena specific to each of these pathologies is observed. As a result, a symptom complex of severe pathology is formed with bradycardia, vagotonia, resorptive and metabolic endogenous intoxication, leukogram imbalance with a predominance of young cells, monocytopenia, eosinopenia, more pronounced neutrophilocytosis and lymphocytopenia, as well as a decrease in adaptive potential. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that, according to the data obtained, one of the directions of the progression of preeclampsia (gestosis) may be the development of comorbid pathology. At the same time, the deterioration of the animal's condition is a consequence of the aggravation of each of the associated pathologies and the formation of integral pathogenetic integration in the body. In this case, the choice of therapies should be focused on eliminating or alleviating the manifestation of gestosis and associated pathologies, as well as on leveling the pathogenetic mechanisms of comorbidity.

Published: November 2023

It is proposed to understand the economic security management of the enterprise as a set of measures aimed at planning, organizing, implementing and controlling the measures of identification, assessment, prevention and countermeasures against challenges, threats and risks that affect the efficiency of the use of corporate resources of the enterprise and the effectiveness of the course of its business processes. The hypothesis that the developed and effective systems and mechanisms for ensuring economic security in the past should be calibrated to the strategic orientations of enterprises, taking into account the threats of wartime, is substantiated. The content of the concept of economic security management is systematized. Strategic and tactical orientations, accents in the management of the economic security of the enterprise during the war period are proposed. It is claimed that the vast majority of wartime threats are not subject to managerial influence, however, awareness of their presence, their identification and specification, as well as the development of actions to respond to their manifestations and possible consequences through economic security management mechanisms can significantly reduce the probability of destabilization of the state of the economic structure and ensure survival of the business after relocation, destruction, bankruptcy, etc., in a different format or after taking restorative measures, which were included in the strategy of security-oriented management of the enterprise. It is assumed that in wartime, the most effective way to manage economic security is a functional approach, as it allows you to focus on threats that specifically affect one or another subsystem of the economic security system; allows you to redistribute costs for security-oriented measures depending on the needs arising in one or another part of the system and, as a result, provide comprehensive protection for all types of corporate resources of the enterprise and its business processes. It is proposed to shift the emphasis in the management of economic security during the war from the financial plane to personnel and the maintenance of highly qualified specialists; strengthen the protection of the company's information resources and transfer all business processes to a digital environment as much as possible, ensuring a high level of cyber security. This approach will make it possible to continue the economic activity of the enterprise even in case of its relocation or partial, and for some businesses, complete destruction of the material base.

Published: November 2023

The article discusses the grant support of the EU4Business initiative of the European Union, which helps small and mediumsized enterprises in six countries of the Eastern Partnership (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, the Republic of Moldova, Ukraine) to more effectively realize their potential and stimulate economic growth. The research is devoted to the grant instruments of two EU4Business programs in the period from 2022 to 2023: program No. 1 "EU support to the East of Ukraine – recovery, strengthening of peace and governance" and program No. 2 EU4Business for micro-businesses. It is emphasized that the main goal of program No. 1 is to build peace, economic recovery and social cohesion in the East of Ukraine through socio-economic reconstruction; and the goal of program No. 2 is to restore the activities of micro-entrepreneurs in the territories of Ukraine that were most affected by hostilities and were de-occupied, as well as to strengthen the stability of micro-businesses in war conditions from all other regions of Ukraine. The study reviewed the main eligibility criteria applied to potential applicants and considered the step-by-step algorithm for submitting applications for participation in the grant competition for micro-entrepreneurs who are registered and operate in the regions most affected by the war: Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Zaporizhia Kyiv (except Kyiv) Luhansk, Mykolaiv, Sumy, Chernihiv, Kharkiv, Kherson. It was emphasized that the winners of each of the competitions are determined automatically on a rating basis based on a comparison of the company's activity indicators before the war and during hostilities, therefore no calculations or business plans need to be made. Obstacles that potential grantees face on the way to EU4Business grant funding have been identified, namely: concerning general aspects of potential grantees' work with grant instruments and specific barriers in working with EU4Business grant instruments. It was concluded that the grant support of the EU4Business initiative of Ukrainian business, which contributes to the strengthening of entrepreneurs, is very important, since the stability of Ukraine's economy in the conditions of martial law depends on the competitiveness of business.

Published: November 2023

The article examines the role of risk management in the system of ensuring the sustainable development of the enterprise in uncertain conditions. The increasing uncertainty of doing business has resulted in the need to develop and implement effective tools to ensure the protection of the enterprise from various types of risks. The purpose of the article is to provide a summary of the theoretical and methodological advancements in enterprise risk management in uncertain conditions to ensure its sustainable development. Scientific approaches to the interpretation of the essence of the concepts "risk" and "risk management" are summarized and an author's approach to their interpretation is proposed. It is determined that risk management is a dynamic process, the effectiveness of which depends on the speed of response to changes in market conditions, the financial condition and economic situation of the management object. The sequence of stages of enterprise risk management is validated. In particular, the accumulation of information about the situation; diagnosis of the current situation; development of alternative options for management solutions; management decision-making; implementation of management decisions. The prerequisites for ensuring effective risk management of enterprise are defined. To ensure sustainable development, the common features inherent in all models of the enterprise's risk management system are determined. It is proposed to limit the risk at each stage of development of the risk situation. It was established that the effectiveness of risk management is directly related to the reasonableness of choosing a set of measures to prevent and/or minimize risk. Proposals are developed to improve the efficiency of enterprise risk management in conditions of rapid change of environmental factors. It is concluded that in a rapidly changing external environment, the determining prerequisites for ensuring the sustainable development of domestic enterprises are the integration of the risk management system into the overall management system of the enterprise and the formation of the correct perception of risk in its managers.
INFORMATION ECONOMY: OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS IN THE REALISATION OF NATIONAL INTERESTS
Authors:   Cherkasy State Technological University, Mann Ruslan
Published: November 2023

The article examines opportunities and threats in the realization of national interests in the conditions of the development of the information economy. Expert assessments of global technological risks, were considered, including: adverse consequences of technological progress for individuals, enterprises, ecosystems; digital inequality; digital concentration of power; ineffectiveness of cyber security measures; non-compliance with management technology; destruction of critical information infrastructure. It is noted that the given global risks form systemic needs that determine the main trends of change in modern society. It has been proven that the rapid transformations caused by informatization will change economic systems, new tools for coordinating economic interests will appear, which will lose the role of restraining counterbalances, which provokes imbalances and contradictions at all levels of socio-economic relations. A number of factors are outlined, which in their aggregate manifestation affect the balance of agreed economic interests at any level of the system of socio-economic relations. Among such factors, the following are defined: the uncertainty of the limits of intervention in the spheres of interests of the state, business and society; lack of timely methodical support of informatization processes; different vision of information economy development in each country; a change in the role of a person as a subject of economic activity as a result of the virtualization of the economic environment; the participation of the state in the processes of coordination of economic interests is based on the "right of the strong" and encourages each country to use economic institutions and tools to promote its own interests, provoking conflicts and new challenges on the world stage. It has been proven that new realities require a review of the limits of the protection of national economic interests in the conditions of the formation of new rules of the game and norms of the information economy in order to ensure the security component of the country's development. It is noted that such actions should be carried out within the framework of the formation of the regulatory environment of the information economy, which is a complex process that requires balancing the economic interests of key subjects in the paradigm of "state-population-business" relations and their subordination to national interests.
Transmission of the polymorphic dorsal pattern of the Iberian painted frog Discoglossus galganoi is compatible with simple Mendelian inheritance
Authors: Zamora-Camacho F. J.
Published: November 2023

To understand the evolutionary processes involved in the expression of ecologically relevant phenotypical variability it is necessary to disentangle the processes that govern the heredity of said traits. Such is the case of dorsal patterns in the Iberian painted frog, Discoglossus galganoi, which presents both a striped and a spotted morph. Here I studied whether the expression of such patterns is subjected to single-locus Mendelian heredity. I crossed males and females with each pattern in all possible combinations and calculated the percentage of each pattern in the offspring. The proportions obtained were compatible with single-locus Mendelian heredity.

Published: November 2023

Good indoor air quality (IAQ) is crucial for navy crew due to longer periods onboard, especially during pandemic. Increased frequency of the ship’s operations is required to prevent trespassing and illegal border crossings. This study aims to determine and compare the indoor air chemical parameters; carbon dioxide (CO₂), carbon monoxide (CO), and total volatile organic compounds (TVOC) at different ship conditions (alongside and sailing) and engine sequences (idling, cruising, full ahead and slowing down). The parameters were measured in four compartments, following the Industry Code of Practice on Indoor Air Quality 2010 (ICOP IAQ 2010). At different ship conditions, there were significant differences of indoor air chemical parameters in the common room, electrical room, and accommodation area 2. However, no trend of higher or lower concentrations was observed between the conditions due to ship operation, human activities, and occupancy. The engine sequences affect the indoor air chemical parameters, where the CO concentrations were recorded higher in all compartments, especially when the engine was running at 1000 rpm. In conclusion, the navy crew could be exposed to unacceptable IAQ conditions regardless of ship conditions and engine sequences. It is good to highlight that good ventilation is crucial to dilute the air pollutants onboard.

Published: November 2023

Automatic text summarisation involves creating a concise and coherent description while preserving essential information and context. Time constraints faced by educators prompted this study. Writing is a crucial skill for students, especially in English; however, many need more feedback on their mistakes. Writing, akin to scaffolding, necessitates the involvement of proficient essay writers to assess and review students' work. Scaffolding facilitates student engagement and improves learning outcomes, making it an effective instructional strategy. To address this issue, Lecturer Feedback Tools (LeFT), a Natural Language Processing web application system, is introduced to educators to provide feedback to enhance students' writing skills. It utilises four summarisations SpaCy, Gensim, Natural Language Toolkit, and Sumy. What sets this tool apart is its ability to record all operations in a database, ultimately boosting educators' productivity and students' work. The evaluation results show a consensus among participants, with 66.7% expressing the system's usefulness and 83.3% finding it easy to use, reflecting their satisfaction with the study's outcomes.

Authors: Yassir Lazrak
Published: November 2023

William Hanna and Joseph Barbera’s creation Tom & Jerry is widely regarded as one of  the greatest animated series of the 20th century. This iconic series is evidence of the lasting appeal of animation and its ability to captivate viewers for decades.With its innovative approach to visual storytelling, timeless humour, endearing characters, and most notably its artistic use of defamiliarization technique, Tom & Jerry has left  an indelible mark on the animation industry, providing amusement to viewers of all ages around the world and firmly soldifying its status as a true masterpiece. Based on the visual analysis method, this paper adapts Shklovsky’s technique of ‘defamiliarization’ from the field of literature to the domain of media studies, explaining its different facets and exploring its practical implications. By transcending the boundaries of its original literay context, this paper aims to throw light on the many ways in which defamiliarization manifests itself in Tom & Jerry animated series and how it has a big impact on getting viewers to change their habitual reactions to artwork and instead percieve it in a fresh, vivid, and intense way.
Filiaciones rotas. Tiempos y lenguas de la maternidad en Matilde Sánchez y Marta Dillon
Authors: Sánchez Cecilia
Published: November 2023

Desde la materialidad de una lengua que se carga de los afectos que atraviesan los cuerpos, El Dock (1993) de Matilde Sánchez y Aparecida (2015) de Marta Dillon construyen una singular memoria sobre el pasado de la militancia revolucionaria y el terrorismo de Estado en Argentina para postular políticas alternativas de la maternidad y de la vida común ajenas a los dispositivos de disciplinamiento, captura y desaparición de los cuerpos. Instaladas en un presente anacrónico poblado de desechos y restos, las narraciones exploran nuevas potencias de cuerpos que no se pliegan dócilmente a los roles de la víctima, el testigo o el militante disciplinado y obediente.
Enrique Lihn y su narrativa situada en los límites del horror y la Cháchara
Authors: Rojas Pachas Daniel Francisco
Published: November 2023

El presente artículo busca caracterizar el contexto de producción de Lihn durante las décadas del setenta y ochenta y dar cuenta de cómo el autor concibe su escritura poligenérica como un laboratorio que le permite investigar las deformaciones del lenguaje y realizar un estudio de teratología, destinado a diseccionar las monstruosidades que habitan la sociedad chilena y continental. En una primera instancia, el artículo se enfoca en las novelas de Lihn y la escritura situada como estrategia para generar una representación irreal y paródica de los vicios del poder y la cultura oficial durante la dictadura de Augusto Pinochet. Finalmente el trabajo analiza la figura de Gerardo de Pompier, la máscara retórica que Lihn utiliza a fin de resaltar la precariedad del campo cultural y las deficiencias en la industria editorial en nuestro continente.
“Howl” en performance: una experiencia sensorial y colectiva (Six Gallery, San Francisco, 1955)
Authors: Barelli Sofía Gina
Published: November 2023

El presente trabajo se propone indagar en la dimensión performática de la primera lectura pública del poema “Howl” (“Aullido”) de Allen Ginsberg. La noche del 7 de octubre de 1955, en la Six Gallery de San Francisco y frente a un auditorio completo—que contaba, entre sus presentes, con escritores como Jack Kerouac, Lawrence Ferlinghetti y Neal Cassady—, Ginsberg protagonizó una escena que con los años sería recordada como una instancia fundacional para la poesía norteamericana del siglo XX. Partiendo de las crónicas y los testimonios escritos sobre lo acontecido y, también, considerando a aquella ejecución del poema como una experiencia, fundamentalmente, sensorial y colectiva buscaremos analizar una serie de repercusiones corporales entre los presentes. El recorrido por las fuentes seleccionadas estará signado por un abordaje que pondrá en valor las percepciones de la escucha, el tacto, la vista e inclusive el gusto, en favor de reconocer a la performance poética como un “estar en común” que afecta, en la misma medida, a quienes leen y quienes escuchan.

Published: November 2023

Rice is a staple food commodity that is cultivated by the majority of farmers, both to meet household food needs, as well as to be sold and exchanged for other consumption needs. This study aimed to analyze the income of rice farming and the household expenditure of rice farmers. The research was conducted in Sungai Dua Village, Banyuasin Regency, South Sumatra Province. The location of the study was determined purposively because it has a distinctive land characteristic, namely in the form of a lowland swamp. The research sample consisted of 30 rice farmers who were taken at simple random sampling. The data was processed using a mathematical formula of farm income and household consumption expenditure, which is then explained in a quantitative descriptive manner. The results showed that the income of rice farming in Sungai Dua Village was IDR. 19,125,908.00 per growing season. Expenditures for rice production and household consumption were IDR. 5,935,652.00 and IDR. 6,004,888.89 per growing season, respectively. The income from rice farming in Sungai Dua Village is not sufficient to cover the needs of rice farmers for a year, considering that the intensity of rice cultivation in Sungai Dua Village is only once a year. Therefore, the government needs to provide solutions through various policies and programs that can help farmers increase their income and improve their welfare without having to leave their rice farming.

Craft entrepreneurs play an essential role in creating unique and difficult-to-replicate products that enrich, complement, and reflect our culture. The purpose of the article is to reveal the essence of craft production, clarify the definition of the term "craft product", as well as outline the ways of its promotion. The essence of craft production was revealed, and the state of its development in Ukraine was assessed. Attention is focused on the features of craft production, and the main differences between craft products and mass-produced products were characterized. It was determined that the products of craft production are exclusive products of high quality of local production, made by hand by a separately taken crafter and in a certain quantity. The research shows that it is not enough to create a unique product; for its successful sale, it is necessary to convey information about it to consumers. The article provides suggestions on ways to promote craft products and support their producers. The list of top platforms where you can find the best craft products from Ukrainian manufacturers was presented. The current state of support for craft production in Ukraine at the state level, individual business initiatives and territorial communities has been analyzed. It was proposed to create various open online platforms for crafters, which should essentially become a place for direct communication between the producer and the consumer, as well as a meeting place for the producers of craft products themselves, which will have a positive impact on the development of craft production. Craft production is relevant for small-scale farming in the countryside, so it is necessary to stimulate its development and promotion at the legislative level.

Education is one of the necessary conditions for employment. Often, getting an education requires significant expenses, so not everyone can afford to pay for college. Universities implement support programs for students to give them wider opportunities for obtaining an education. In addition, although students are classified as a non-working population, they sometimes engage in activities for which they receive wages, so they can be considered part-time workers. Previous research suggests that tuition assistance may reduce students' incentives to work and increase their consumer spending, making part-time job a secondary priority for economic reasons. This study aims to analyze the opportunities for part-time jobs for students who receive tuition assistance with the variables used, namely the tuition assistance scheme, gender, consumption expenditure, employment status, and employment sector. Sriwijaya University is the oldest university in South Sumatra, with students receiving tuition assistance in 2022 amounted to 4569 students. The sample used in this research is 100 students who receive tuition assistance. The data used for the analysis are primary data collected by the questionnaire method. The analysis technique used in this study uses a binary logistic regression model using the SPSS 22 analysis tool. The results showed that the variables of assistance schemes, consumption expenditures, and jobs in the service sector had a significant effect on students' part-time job decisions. The type of work in the service sector is the dominant factor for students working part-time. The results of this study can be used in developing government policies for part-time workers and students regarding time management.

Indonesia is a country with a majority of the population making rice the main food. With an increasing population, of course, it is necessary to maintain the quality of rice to reduce the risk of crop failure. In 2019, it was stated that nearly 40% of the world's crop was lost due to disease and pest infestation. Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is a technology that has been widely used for the observation and mapping of rice plants. The UAV's small size allows it to maneuver more, making shooting land easier and faster. These diseases and pest attacks can be detected by looking at the plant parts. The easiest part to detect is on the leaves because the signs of the disease can be seen clearly. However, it is not easy to recognize these diseases, it requires experts to identify diseases through a more accurate UAV image. Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is a deep learning method that is often used in digital image recognition. This is because CNN is trying to imitate the image recognition method in the human visual cortex. The CNN method in this study was used to classify healthy rice plants and diseased rice plants through UAV imagery

MD-ALL: an integrative platform for molecular diagnosis of B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Authors: Hu Zunsong , Jia Zhilian , Liu Jiangyue , Mao Allen , Han Helen , Gu Zhaohui
Published: November 2023

B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) consists of dozens of subtypes defined by distinct gene expression profiles (GEPs) and various genetic lesions. With the application of transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq), multiple novel subtypes have been identified, which lead to an advanced B-ALL classification and risk-stratification system. However, the complexity of analyzing RNA-seq data for B-ALL classification hinders the implementation of the new B-ALL taxonomy. Here, we introduce MD-ALL (Molecular Diagnosis of ALL), an integrative platform featuring sensitive and accurate B-ALL classification based on GEPs and sentinel genetic alterations from RNA-seq data.
In this study, we systematically analyzed 2,955 B-ALL RNA-seq samples and generated a reference dataset representing all the reported B-ALL subtypes. Using multiple machine learning algorithms, we identified the feature genes and then established highly sensitive and accurate models for B-ALL classification using either bulk or single-cell RNA-seq data. Importantly, this platform integrates multiple aspects of key genetic lesions acquired from RNAseq data, which include sequence mutations, large-scale copy number variations, and gene rearrangements, to perform comprehensive and definitive B-ALL classification. Through validation in a hold-out cohort of 974 samples, our models demonstrated superior performance for B-ALL classification compared with alternative tools. Moreover, to ensure accessibility and user-friendly navigation even for users with limited or no programming background, we developed an interactive graphical user interface for this MD-ALL platform, using the R Shiny package.
In summary, MD-ALL is a user-friendly B-ALL classification platform designed to enable integrative, accurate, and comprehensive B-ALL subtype classification. MD-ALL is available from https://github.com/gu-lab20/MD-ALL.

From 1 January to 31 December 2022, fifty-five institutions across Australia participated in the Australian Staphylococcus aureus Surveillance Outcome Program (ASSOP). The aim of ASSOP 2022 was to determine the proportion of Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia (SAB) isolates in Australia that were antimicrobial resistant, with particular emphasis on susceptibility to methicillin and on characterisation of the molecular epidemiology of the methicillin-resistant isolates. A total of 3,214 SAB episodes were reported, of which 77.5% were community-onset. Overall, 15.0% of S. aureus were methicillin resistant. The 30-day all-cause mortality associated with methicillin-resistant SAB was 21.4%, which was significantly different to the 16.8% all-cause mortality associated with methicillin-susceptible SAB (p = 0.02). With the exception of the β-lactams and erythromycin, antimicrobial resistance in methicillin-susceptible S. aureus was rare. However, in addition to the β-lactams, approximately 31% of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) were resistant to ciprofloxacin; 30% to erythromycin; 13% to tetracycline; 11% to gentamicin; and 2% to co-trimoxazole. One MRSA isolate, with a daptomycin MIC of 1.5 mg/L, harboured the A302V mprF and A23V cls2 mutations. When applying the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) breakpoints, teicoplanin resistance was detected in one MRSA isolate. Resistance to vancomycin or linezolid was not detected. Resistance to non-β-lactam antimicrobials was largely attributable to the healthcare-associated MRSA (HA-MRSA) clone ST22-IV [2B] (EMRSA-15), and to the community-associated MRSA (CA-MRSA) clone ST45-V [5C2&5] which has acquired resistance to multiple antimicrobials including ciprofloxacin, clindamycin, erythromycin, gentamicin, and tetracycline. The ST22-IV [2B] (EMRSA-15) clone is the predominant HA-MRSA clone in Australia. Nonetheless, 86% of methicillin-resistant SAB episodes were due to CA-MRSA clones. Although polyclonal, approximately 72% of CA-MRSA clones were characterised as ST93-IV [2B] (Queensland clone); ST5-IV [2B]; ST45-V [5C2&5]; ST1-IV [2B]; ST30-IV [2B]; ST97-IV [2B]; ST953-IV [2B]; and ST8-IV [2B]. As CA-MRSA is well established in the Australian community, it is important to monitor antimicrobial resistance patterns in community- and healthcare-associated SAB as this information will guide therapeutic practices in treating S. aureus bacteraemia.

Purpose: To introduce an intuitive method for measuring conjunctival microvascular blood flow velocity by imaging bulbar conjunctival microvessels using a slit-lamp biomicroscope equipped with a zoom lens and an ultra-high-speed camera.Methods: After obtaining consent from 10 patients (1 male, 9 females) who visited Yeouido St. Mary’s Hospital from August 21, 2020, to June 12, 2021, the patients were examined under a slit lamp microscope equipped with an ultra-high-speed camera and zoom lens. The blood flow in the conjunctival microvessels was photographed. The captured images were analyzed with ImageJ software to measure the blood flow velocity in the conjunctival microvessels, and we investigated whether the blood flow velocity correlated with the vessel diameter and age.Results: The median age of the subjects was 49.0 years. The mean conjunctival blood flow velocity in 53 microvessels was 0.786 ± 0.468 mm/s. The median conjunctival microvascular diameter was 7.06 μm (interquartile range 5.84 to 9.23 μm). The conjunctival microvascular diameter and blood flow velocity were not significantly correlated (Spearman’s p = 0.177), and the subjects’ age and conjunctival microvascular blood flow velocity were also not correlated (Spearman’s p = 0.669).Conclusions: In this study, the blood flow velocity in the bulbar conjunctival microvessels could be measured easily by means of image analysis using a slit-lamp microscope equipped with an ultra-high-speed camera with a zoom lens.
Preconception Care for Individuals with Diabetes

The incidence of diabetes has been increasing and, in parallel, so has the incidence of females in their childbearing years with diabetes. Preconception care is important in females with diabetes due many factors related to fertility, blood glucose control, and complications. For example, many individuals with Type 2 diabetes are obese, which can affect contraceptive efficacy, fertility, and fetal growth. Additionally, patients with all types of diabetes are at risk for disordered eating, which can be harmful to a developing fetus. Both hypoglycaemia and hyperglycaemia are known to increase the risk of adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes, including during the first trimester, when many females are not aware of pregnancy. Additionally, individuals with diabetes are at risk for complications, such as atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, nephropathy, retinopathy, and neuropathy, that can lead to complicated pregnancies. Importantly, several of the medications used to control blood glucose, and manage diabetes complications, are not recommended for use during pregnancy due to potential fetal harm. For these reasons, females with diabetes in their childbearing years are encouraged to utilise reliable contraception, so that pregnancies can be planned, or should be treated with medications with low teratogenicity potential. Thus, the preconception care of females with diabetes is complex, and the increasing prevalence of this patient population warrants greater awareness among clinicians. This narrative review summarises the current standard of preconception care for individuals with diabetes, including the management of contraception, weight, blood glucose, hypertension, and dyslipidaemia.
Mean Platelet Volume in Type 2 Diabetes: Correlation with Poor Glycaemic Control

Published: November 2023

Background: Diabetes is a global pandemic. Mean platelet volume (MPV) is an indicator of increased platelet activity, which is considered to play a role in the development of vascular complications in diabetes. Platelet volume is strongly and independently related with glycaemic control in Type 2 diabetes (T2D).

Aim: To study the MPV in patients with T2D, and its correlation with HbA1c, duration of T2D, and microvascular complications.

Methodology: This was a cross-sectional, observational study conducted at the Department of Medicine, Gandhi Medical College, Bhopal, India, during a period of 18 months on 300 patients with T2D. Blood glucose, HbA1c, MPV, fundoscopy, and 24-hour urine protein were done. Data were represented as mean+/-standard deviation and statistical analysis was done using SPSS software (IBM, Armonk, New York, USA).

Results: The mean age of patients was 56.64±8.69 years, with 52% of the patients being females. Of these patients, 18.3% had HbA1c between 6.5–8.0%, 51.7% between 8.1–10.0% and the rest above 10.0%. A total of 51% of the patients had diabetes for 6–10 years of duration and 30% for more than 10 years. Patients with higher HbA1c level and prolonged duration of diabetes had higher MPV (p<0.001). Patients with advanced diabetic retinopathy changes and nephropathy also had higher MPV (p<0.05).

Conclusion: Measurement of MPV in patients with T2D can be a useful and easily available prognostic marker, and hence assist clinicians to anticipate the occurrence of microvascular complications associated with the disease, especially in resource-poor settings, and reduce the burden of cost for the patient.
