Authors: Yavasoglu Nese G. , Eren Yasemin , Tatar Idil G. , Yalcınkaya Irfan
Published: February 2021

Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) have been shown to decrease the risk of ischemic stroke in non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). This study aims to investigate whether DOACs result in a significant change in lesion volume and the severity of the subsequent disability in patients who have experienced a stroke.

Methods:

The study included a total of 137 patients with NVAF and acute stroke. The cohort included 76 patients using DOACs, 21 patients using acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), and 40 patients with newly diagnosed atrial fibrillation (NDAF) who did not use antiaggregants or anticoagulants. Diffusion-weighted MRI was performed 6–12 hours after the first stroke symptoms and infarct volumes were measured by two independent observers. Baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score at discharge and period of hospitalization were calculated.

Results:

When patients using DOACs due to NVAF and patients with NDAF were compared, the volumes of patients using DOACs (median 7.8 vs 23.1 cm3; P ≤ 0.01) were statistically significantly smaller. However, there was no difference in volume between ASA users (median 16.9 cm3; P = 0.16) and patients with NDAF. The DOACs group was significantly different compared to the NDAF group in terms of NIHSS scores (median 4.4 vs 8.3; P ≤ 0.01) and mRS scores at discharge (median 1.7 vs 2.7; P ≤ 0.01), and period of hospitalization (median 6.4 vs 10.4 days; P ≤ 0.01).

Conclusion:

We observe, while using DOACs, the infarct volumes of patients who experience stroke are smaller than those with NDAF and using ASA, as well as mRS scores at discharge are low and length of hospital stay is short.
Round spermatid injection into human oocytes
Authors: Hanson Brent M , Kohn Taylor P , Pastuszak Alexander W , Scott Richard T , Cheng Philip J , Hotaling James M
Published: February 2021

Many azoospermic men do not possess mature spermatozoa at the time of surgical sperm extraction. This study is a systematic review and meta-analysis evaluating outcomes following round spermatid injection (ROSI), a technique which utilizes immature precursors of spermatozoa for fertilization. An electronic search was performed to identify relevant articles published through October 2018. Human cohort studies in English involving male patients who had round spermatids identified and used for fertilization with human oocytes were included. Fertilization rate, pregnancy rate, and resultant delivery rate were assessed following ROSI. Meta-analysis outcomes were analyzed using a random-effects model. Data were extracted from 22 studies involving 1099 couples and 4218 embryo transfers. The fertilization rate after ROSI was 38.7% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 31.5%–46.3%), while the pregnancy rate was 3.7% (95% CI: 3.2%–4.4%). The resultant delivery rate was low, with 4.3% of embryo transfers resulting in a delivery (95% CI: 2.3%–7.7%). The pregnancy rate per couple was 13.4% (95% CI: 6.8%–19.1%) and the resultant delivery rate per couple was 8.1% (95% CI: 6.1%–14.4%). ROSI has resulted in clinical pregnancies and live births, but success rates are considerably lower than those achieved with mature spermatozoa. While this technique may be a feasible alternative for men with azoospermia who decline other options, couples should be aware that the odds of a successful delivery are greatly diminished and the prognosis is relatively poor.

Authors: El Mouzan Mohammad I. , Winter Harland S. , Al Sarkhy Ahmed A. , Korolev Kirill , Menon Rajita , Assiri Asaad A.
Published: February 2021

Background:

Studies have reached different conclusions regarding the accuracy of dysbiosis in predicting the diagnosis of Crohn's disease (CD). The aim of this report is to assess the utility of mucosal and fecal microbial dysbiosis as predictors in the diagnosis of this condition in Saudi children.

Methods:

Tissue and fecal samples were collected prospectively from children with final diagnosis of CD and from controls. Bacterial DNA was extracted and sequenced using Illumina MiSeq chemistry. The abundance and diversity of bacteria in tissue and fecal samples were determined in relation to controls. Sparse logistic regression was calculated to predict the diagnosis of CD based on subject's microbiota profile.

Results:

There were 17 children with CD and 18 controls. All children were Saudis. The median age was 13.9 and 16.3 years for children with CD and controls respectively. Sex distribution showed that 11/17 (65%) of the CD and 12/18 (67%) of the control subjects were boys. The mean area under the curve (AUC) was significantly higher in stool (AUC = 0.97 ± 0.029) than in tissue samples (AUC = 0.83 ±0.055) (P < 0.001).

Conclusions:

We found high AUC in mucosal and fecal samples. The higher AUC for fecal samples suggests higher accuracy in predicting the diagnosis of CD.

Published: February 2021

Background:

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most common cancer in women and the third most common in men worldwide, with a significantly rising incidence in the Middle East region over the last few decades. This study investigates the histopathological and epidemiological characteristics of colonoscopic findings in a population with an average risk of CRC in Kuwait.

Methods:

In this study, 1,005 asymptomatic average-risk Kuwaiti adults aged over 40 years had their first colonoscopy screening during the 2015–2018 period. Data on lifestyle behaviors (cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption, and physical activity), body mass index (BMI), and comorbidities were routinely collected from these individuals. All colorectal polyps or masses were assessed for their site, size, and number and then resected and sent for histopathological examination.

Results:

The mean age of the participants was 54 years, and 52.2% were women. In screened individuals, the polyp detection rate, adenoma detection rate, and carcinoma detection rate were 43.8%, 27.7%, and 1.2%, respectively. Tubular, tubulovillous, and villous types of adenoma constituted 17.3%, 2.8%, and 1.3% of all screened participants. Neoplastic lesions, particularly in the proximal colon, were more common among men aged 40–49 years. Age of 70 years and older (OR: 9.6; 95% CI: 4.7–19.9; P < 0.001), male gender (OR: 1.6; 95% CI: 1.1–2.3; P = 0.011), increased BMI (OR: 1.05; 95% CI: 1.02–1.08; P = 0.001), and smoking (OR: 3.5; 95% CI: 2.3–5.4; P < 0.001) were the most significant independent risk factors for colorectal neoplasia.

Conclusions:

The high adenoma detection rate (ADR) in Kuwaiti population calls for the establishment of a national programe for CRC screening. The higher ADR in those younger than 50 years calls for assessment of the threshold age at which to start screening.
Mini-Workshop: Superpotentials in Algebra and Geometry
Authors: Bossinger Lara , González Eduardo , Rietsch Konstanze , Williams Lauren K.
Published: February 2021

Mirror symmetry has been at the epicenter of many mathematical discoveries in the past twenty years. It was discovered by physicists in the setting of super conformal field theories (SCFTs) associated to closed string theory, mathematically described by

\sigma

-models. These

\sigma

-models turn out in two different ways: the A-model and the B-model. Physical considerations predict that deformations of the SCFT of either

\sigma

-model should be isomorphic. Thus the mirror symmetry conjecture states that the A-model of a particular Calabi–Yau space

X

must be isomorphic to the B-model of its mirror

X

. Mirror symmetry has been extended beyond the Calabi–Yau setting, in particular to Fano varieties, using the so called Landau-Ginzburg models. That is a non-compact manifold equipped with a complex valued function called the superpotential.

In general, there is no clear recipe to construct the mirror for a given variety which demonstrates the need of joining mathematical forces from a wide range. The main aim of this Mini-Workshop was to bring together experts from the different communities (such as symplectic geometry and topology, the theory of cluster varieties, Lie theory and algebraic combinatorics) and to share the state of the art on superpotentials and explore connections between different constructions.

A particular effort was invested in exploring the interrelations with free probability. This established an interesting dialogue between researchers working in real algebraic geometry and those working in free probability, from which emerged new exciting and promising synergies.
Boundary Element Methods
Authors: Chaillat-Loseille Stéphanie , Hiptmair Ralf , Steinbach Olaf
Published: February 2021

The field of
boundary element methods
(BEM) relies on recasting boundary value problems for (mostly linear) partial differential equations as (usually singular) integral equations on boundaries of domains or interfaces. Its main goal is the design and analysis of methods and algorithms for the stable and accurate discretization of these integral equations, the data-sparse representation of the resulting systems of equations, and their efficient direct or iterative solution.

Boundary element methods play a key role in important areas of computational engineering and physics addressing simulations in acoustics, electromagnetics, and elasticity. Thus progress in boundary element method, both theoretical and algorithmic, is definitely relevant beyond mathematics. Boundary element methods had been developed for many decades, but during the past two decades the field has seen a surge in research activity, spurred by algorithmic and theoretical breakthroughs concerning BEM for electromagnetics, time-domain methods, new approaches to eigenvalue problems, adaptivity, local low-rank matrix compression, and frequency-explicit analysis, to name only a few.

The contributions in this report give an impressive panorama of the many and diverse current research activities in BEM. They range profound mathematical analyses with striking results to new algorithmic developments. On the one hand, the results are based on a large variety of tools from many areas of mathematics. On the other hand, research in BEM blazes the trail for progress in the numerical treatment of non-local operators, a field that is rapidly gaining importance.

Mini-Workshop: Kronecker, Plethysm, and Sylow Branching Coefficients and their Applications to Complexity Theory
Authors: Bessenrodt Christine , Bowman Christopher D. , Giannelli Eugenio
Published: February 2021

The Kronecker, plethysm and Sylow branching coefficients describe the decomposition of representations of symmetric groups obtained by tensor products and induction. Understanding these decompositions has been hailed as one of the definitive open problems in algebraic combinatorics and has profound and deep connections with representation theory, symplectic geometry, complexity theory, quantum information theory, and local-global conjectures in representation theory of finite groups. The overarching theme of the Mini-Workshop has been the use of hidden, richer representation theoretic structures to prove and disprove conjectures concerning these coefficients. These structures arise from the modular and local-global representation theory of symmetric groups, graded representation theory of Hecke and Cherednik algebras, and categorical Lie theory.
The role of saline nasal sprays or drops in nasal hygiene: a review of the evidence and clinical perspectives
Authors: Santoro E. , Kalita P. , Novak P.
Published: February 2021

Background: This article provides, for the first time, a comprehensive view on everyday practice and evidence-based advice on the regular use of saline nasal sprays or drops to support nasal function and to help protect from airborne pollutants, pollens and viruses. Method: An extensive literature search was conducted with PubMed, Google Scholar and national healthcare databases to identify and summarise the evidence available to date on the role of saline nasal sprays or drops in nasal hygiene. Clinical perspectives from international respiratory specialists were included. Results: Following the PubMed searches, twenty-three articles were assessed in adults and children using isotonic or hypertonic saline nasal sprays and drops, including five systematic reviews and 11 randomised controlled trials. Six national clinical guidance documents were included from the other database searches to give a total of 29 articles. The findings support that regular, daily use of saline nasal sprays or drops could provide relief from nasal symptoms in adults and children with upper respiratory tract infections or allergic rhinitis; future studies are expected to demonstrate benefit following air pollutant exposure. No serious adverse events were reported. National guidance recommends daily nasal hygiene with saline sprays and drops, some from infancy. Conclusion: Regular, daily use of saline nasal spray or drops could reduce the effects of noxious stimuli in the nose, helping to support respiratory health.

Caregivers' Experiences of Informal Support in the Context Of HIV/AIDS
Authors: D'Cruz Premilla
Published: February 2021

Social support is an important buffer for family caregivers of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHIV/AIDS). With limited formal support options, these caregivers have to rely increasingly on informal networks. Yet, accessing this avenue is also fraught with difficulty due to the stigmatising nature of HIV infection. Research in this area is not just not sparse, but focusses largely on sources of support and the circumscribing effects of stigma. To further our understanding, a qualitative study was conducted using various concepts from social support theory. Twelve family caregivers in Mumbai, India, were interviewed, using the in-depth interview method. An iterative, thematic analysis was done through which themes and major themes were identified. Major themes included sources of support, types of support received, spontaneous support, soliciting support, caregivers' perceptions of support experiences and reciprocity. The findings raised several issues for intervention.

Music as a Metaphor for Thesis Writing
Authors: Van Schalkwyk Gertina
Published: February 2021

In the final throws of writing a doctoral thesis the struggle was to find a structure for presenting the vast amounts of literature that had to be integrated and synthesised to form a coherent whole and linking psychology and music, the basis for my thesis. As a systems theorist and adherent to social constructionist views, the metaphor plays an important role in constructing realities, and the framework that came to mind for structuring and presenting my thesis was that of the concerto from the Western classical music genre. In this paper I will explain how this metaphor was used for organising and structuring my research and presenting a systems paradigm as a coherent whole.
Redefining our Understanding of Narrative
Authors: Rodriguez Amardo
Published: February 2021

This paper is born out of my concern about the increasing use of narrative as merely a different methodology. I argue that narrative as methodology ultimately depoliticizes the potentiality of narratives. Narrative simply becomes one of the many methods that belong to qualitative inquiry. We generally discuss narrative as story-telling. We also focus on doing good narrative analysis. In this paper I recast in narrative in language of cosmology so as to highlight the libratory potentiality that narrative affords persons who strive for a new and different world. I discuss narrative in terms of being in the world. I also unpack the implications that attend to this emergent way of understanding narrative for qualitative inquiry. The paper ends with a discussion of how our narrativeness complements a world that is increasingly seen as complex and quantum.

Commercial and Green Corrosion Inhibitors for Reinforced Concrete Structures: A Review
Authors:   Department of Civil Engineering, Iraq University College (IUC), Basra, Basra, Iraq, Asaad Mohammad Ali
Published: February 2021

Civil construction projects have always met with corrosion issues affecting reinforcements, both in circumstances where the relevant standards were not observed during concrete design and preparation and in structures close to bridges, coasts, ports, quays and so on, where exposure to an aggressive environment can lead to damage such as rust spots, cracking and delamination of the concrete cover, which constitutes a hazard for the end-user. Inhibitors are frequently simple to apply and extensively utilised to reduce the corrosion rate of many steel structures in the aggressive environments without causing any significant disruption to the process. The article reviews information related to the mechanism of corrosion prevention methods to increase the service life of structures in coastal areas. This is included commercial inhibitors (inorganic and organic), sealers and barriers, eco-friendly inhibitor, and green inhibitor combined with nanoparticles. An analysis of the published literature demonstrates a general agreement that one of the most significant problems affecting reinforced concrete structures is corrosion of the steel reinforcements.

Kepemimpinan Transformasional Di Era Post Modern
Authors: Suseno Wasis
Published: February 2021

Abstract: The modern Post era we are currently facing has the character of: attacking the special, universal, total, and absolute status of truth as understood in modernism. Single and universal truths are not recognized. There are only true truths for every society or community. Then truth is understood as fragmented into equal truths without a single normative accout beyond it. There is no tradition or ideology that stands on other traditions or other ideologies. What one believes to be true is no longer a single truth but part of truth pluralism. Therefor a leader understands the leadership of transformation in the post moderent era, apostle Paul explains, there are three levels of Transformational in the life of Believers, namely: 1) Position Transformation; 2) Behavior Transformation; 3) Community Transformation. If we can describe, the leadership of transformation in post-modern era, must have three real roles in leadership, 1. Spiritual Formation, 2. Theological Proficiency, 3. Practical & Ministry Proficieny. These three skills will be discussed in this paper.

Abstrak: Era Pos modern yang kita hadapi saat ini bersifat: menyerang status kebenaran yang khusus, universal, total, dan absolut sebagaimana dipahami dalam modernisme. Kebenaran tunggal dan universal tidak diakui. Hanya ada kebenaran sejati untuk setiap masyarakat atau komunitas. Kemudian kebenaran dipahami sebagai terfragmentasi menjadi kebenaran yang setara tanpa satu pernyataan normatif di luarnya. Tidak ada tradisi atau ideologi yang berdiri di atas tradisi atau ideologi lain. Apa yang diyakini sebagai kebenaran bukan lagi kebenaran tunggal melainkan bagian dari pluralisme kebenaran. Untuk itu seorang pemimpin memahami transformasi kepemimpinan di era post moderent, Rasul Paulus menjelaskan, ada tiga tingkatan Transformasi dalam kehidupan Orang Beriman, yaitu: 1) Transformasi Jabatan; 2) Transformasi Perilaku; 3) Transformasi Komunitas. Jika bisa kita gambarkan, kepemimpinan transformasi di era postmodern, harus memiliki tiga peran nyata dalam kepemimpinan, 1. Formasi Spiritual, 2. Kecakapan Teologis, 3. Practical & Ministry Proficieny. Ketiga keterampilan tersebut akan dibahas dalam makalah ini.
Misi Yesus Ke Samaria: Analisis Yohanes 4:31-38
Authors: L.M. Yusuf
Published: February 2021

Abstract: The conversation between Jesus and the Samaritan woman was one that provoked a reaction from the disciples. After the conversation, the disciples immediately responded to the attitude of Jesus serving the Samaritan woman. However, it must be understood that this conversation was the starting point for the emergence of mass conversions in Samaria. The simple approach adopted by Jesus has brought about a sincere conversion of ethnic Samaritans who are often considered pagan by Conservative Jews.

Abstrak: Percakapan Yesus dengan perempuan Samaria merupakan salah satu dialog yang menimbulkan reaksi para murid. Pasca percakapan tersebut langsung menimbulkan responss cepat para murid atas sikap Yesus yang melayani perempuan Samaria. Namun perlu dipahami bahwa justru percakapan tersebut menjadi titik awal munculnya pertobatan massal di Samaria. Pendekatan sederhana yang dipakai oleh Yesus telah membawa pertobatan yang sungguh-sungguh dari etnis Samaria yang sering dianggap kafir oleh orang Yahudi Konservatif.
La violence des frères
Authors: Ropp Laurent
Published: February 2021

L’étude des récits de massacres perpétrés par des protestants dans les écrits d’un calviniste anonyme de Millau et des castrais Jean Faurin et Jacques Gaches permet d’examiner les regards de ces réformés sur les violences commises par leurs coreligionnaires. Les auteurs ne semblent pas dissimuler ces actes et rien ne montre qu’ils transforment délibérément les comptes rendus des événements en faveur des huguenots. Le caractère partial de certains récits peut être établi lorsqu’on envisage la possibilité dont les témoins disposent de relativiser la brutalité de leurs coreligionnaires et quand on prend garde aux descriptions des origines des meurtres collectifs. Jean Faurin et l’anonyme de Millau, qui écrivent au temps des troubles, approuvent certaines tueries tandis que Jacques Gaches, qui prend la plume après le retour de la paix, condamne les violences protestantes, y compris lorsqu’il s’agit de représailles.
« Fortifier contre tous assaulx » Psaumes et militances réformées, l’esprit et la règle (XVIe-XVIIIe siècle)
Authors: Bernat Chrystel
Published: February 2021

À la croisée de la liturgie, du rite, de l’hymnologie, les psaumes forment un objet historique multidimensionnel qui déborde l’histoire des pratiques confessionnelles. Ce donné religieux – au sens premier de connaissance offerte dans l’expérience –, relève de l’énoncé croyant et à ce titre constitue, en milieu protestant, un repère socialement construit à partir duquel se dressent (et d’emblée se débattent) des communautés confessantes en butte en France au catholicisme dominant. Leur chant, aussi matriciel et identifiant que stigmatisant, accompagne la naissance, les conquêtes et les vicissitudes des sociétés réformées qui revendiquent leur existence et se façonnent avec les psaumes, au point d’en symboliser aux yeux des adversaires le tout premier étendard et la bannière principale. Rendus à leur quintessence – au chant de combat qu’ils forment –, les psaumes sont le terrain d’une histoire sociale et religieuse féconde : la ressource biblique et l’énoncé déclaratif d’une minorité confessionnelle en survie qui trouve avec eux à se défendre et à célébrer sa foi. À partir des textes réformateurs, de la réglementation synodale et de la législation royale qui tentent d’en réguler les usages, cette enquête explore la valeur heuristique des psaumes, et cherche à identifier les raisons de leur centralité dans le calvinisme français. À la fois pièce maîtresse de la piété réformée et modalité de l’insoumission huguenote, les psaumes semblent une composante majeure de la militance protestante dont l’étude scrute les motifs et les déclinaisons, les principes et les règles. Elle vise à comprendre comment le chant des psaumes devient le mode mélodique de l’engagement religieux réformé, un repère communautairement constitué et confessionnellement clivant dans la France catholique de la période moderne.
Du bûcher au champ de bataille
Authors: Föllmi Beat
Published: February 2021

Dès le XIXe siècle, l’historiographie française a fait de l’usage militant des psaumes de Genève un lieu incontournable. Le célèbre psaume 68 de Théodore de Bèze (« Que Dieu se montre seulement »), dit le « psaume des batailles » a même été élevé au rang de « marseillaise huguenote » (Orentin Douen). Or une étude critique des sources montre que les attestations, historiographiquement vérifiables, de l’usage militant du chant des psaumes sont en réalité fort rares pour le XVIe siècle. L’article retrace le Sitz im Leben du chant militant des psaumes, du chant individuel des premiers martyrs au « chanteries » collectives des années 1560. Il examine ensuite les psaumes auxquels l’historiographie apologétique a prêté un usage militant. Analysant les aspects textuels, les difficultés musicales et l’usage proposé dans les « arguments » des Psautiers, il en résulte que trois psaumes seulement pourraient avoir été utilisés dans les conflits militaires du XVIe siècle.
FREQUÊNCIA DE DISTÚRBIOS DO SONO EM TRABALHADORES RURAIS
Authors: Sousa Milena Nunes Alves de , Silva Oliveira Cíntia , Formiga Marcus Winícius Mendes , Araújo Neuza Caroline Suassuna
Published: February 2021

Contexto: Os trabalhadores rurais, em sua grande maioria, possuem baixa qualidade de vida, pois trabalham incessantemente por uma remuneração baixíssima ou sofrem com a instabilidade do desemprego devido à sazonalidade da atividade. Objetivo: Analisar, a partir de uma revisão sistemática da literatura, a frequência de distúrbios do sono em trabalhadores rurais. Métodos: Revisão sistemática realizada na Medical Literature and Retrivial System Online (PUBMED), The Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO) e Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), com publicações entre os anos de 2010 a 2020, em português e inglês; já na base de dados Science Direct (SD) foram selecionados artigos de pesquisa dos últimos cinco anos, de 2015 a 2020; ambos levaram em consideração a avaliação dos distúrbios do sono em trabalhadores rurais. A partir da pergunta norteadora, procedeu-se a seleção do material a partir das combinações dos descritores: "Rural workers" OR farmers AND "sleep disorders" – empregados no PUBMED e no SD – e "Trabalhadores rurais" OR agricultores AND "distúrbios do sono" – aplicados no SCIELO e na BVS. Após a identificação inicial dos artigos, foi realizada leitura aos pares e seleção conforme de critérios de elegibilidade. Resultados: Foram selecionados oito artigos. A maioria dos estudos foi Estudo de Coorte. É muito comum trabalhadores rurais apresentarem distúrbios do sono, bem como ansiedade e depressão, principalmente aqueles que não possuem um trabalho fixo, dependendo das colheitas. Conclusão: O desenvolvimento de distúrbios do sono em trabalhadores rurais tem causa multifatorial e é determinante para outros agravos, necessitando de intervenções o campo da saúde do trabalhador

Published: February 2021

Human life on Earth depends on the continuous availability of oxygen. Conditions for the entry of oxygen into the body’s cells change in time and space, are easily broken, thus causing the possibility of development of hypoxia - a condition of oxygen starvation of tissues. The second part of the review is devoted to information about the successful use of oxygen-rich water in domestic therapeutic and surgical practice in complex treatment to reduce the negative effect of hypoxia in patients with chronic heart failure and generalized peritonitis complicated by intestinal insufficiency syndrome. Authors consider a common method for improving the supply of oxygen to the body using enteral oxygen therapy - oxygen cocktails in diseases of the cardiovascular system, lungs, bronchi and gastrointestinal tract, atopic dermatitis, placental insufficiency, as well as to improve physical performance, reduce the level of neuroticism and normalize the psychoemotional status. The first part of the review provides data on the modern understanding processes providing oxygen homeostasis in cells, on the critical component responsible for regulating the molecular response to hypoxia - the Hypoxia-Inducible Factors (HIFs) of the family of transcription factors. The possibility to compensate for the lack of oxygen in the body by delivering it to cells and tissues was indicated to consider water and various oxygen cocktails. Data from experimental studies of the biological effect of oxygenated drinking water are analyzed, as well as the results of studying the effects of oxygen-enriched drinking water with the participation of volunteers. The issue of the formation of oxygen (free) radicals when drinking oxygen-enriched drinking water is considered. The review draws specialist’s attention to the problem of the biological effect of oxygen-enriched drinking water, its insufficient knowledge and the possible yet unrealized potential in terms of preventing various diseases and maintaining optimal human health.
Measures aimed at preventing in medical institutions the transmission of Epstein–Barr virus infection (review)
Authors: Solomay Tatiana V. , Semenenko Tatiana A.
Published: February 2021

To systematize the existing methods, techniques, and means of non-specific prevention transmission of the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in medical institutions, the authors perform a comprehensive analysis of data from domestic and foreign literature. Information was collected using Scopus, Web of Science, MedLine, the Cochrane Library, PubMed, RSCI, Cyberleninka. The analysis revealed data confirming the relevance of EBV infection for different areas of clinical medicine. Researchers do not classify EBV as a causative agent of diseases associated with medical care. Measures aimed at preventing transmission of EBV infection similar to those of other illnesses should consider the existing mechanisms of the transmission and the pathogen’s characteristics. The lifetime persistence of EBV in the human body, the presence of the pathogen in various organs and tissues during the active infection, the polymorphism of clinical manifestations of the disease, along with errors in compliance with disinfection and sterilization regimes, create a risk of cross-infection in medical institutions of various profiles. Intensive introduction into medical practice of modern including invasive methods of diagnosis and treatment assisted reproductive technologies; medical equipment contributes to the emergence of new factors of transmission of EBV infection and requires the development of standard protocols for their disinfection and sterilization. To improve medical staff’s competence it is necessary to introduce more widely training activities on preventive and anti-epidemic measures in the system of continuing medical education.
