Authors: Pidchenko R. D. , Shchipakin M. V.
Published: June 2023

Yorkshire pigs occupy one of the first places in livestock farms in different parts of the world. This is due to the fact that breeding boars of this breed are widely used by farmers and owners not only of large livestock complexes, but also by private farms for crossing with other breeds of adapted pigs to increase the meat indicators of offspring. Pigs of this breed are very sensitive to sudden changes in ambient temperature, often suffer from overheating or hypothermia, which can affect the health of internal organs and body systems and can lead to diseases of the urinary system in general and in particular the bladder. The purpose of our study is to study the features of the histological structure of the bladder wall in Yorkshire piglets in the age aspect. Cadaver material for the study was delivered to the Department of Animal Anatomy of the Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of the Russian Academy of Sciences from the Idavang Agro pig breeding complex in Nurma village, Tosnensky district of the Leningrad Region. The study was conducted in three age groups, according to the periodization of pig life: the first stage of development – newborn piglets (1-4 days of the postnatal period); the second stage of development – the first dairy (5-21 days of the postnatal period); the third stage of development – the second dairy (22-45 days of the postnatal period). From the first stage of development, newborn one-day-old piglets were used; from the second stage – animals 10-14 days; from the third – piglets 28-30 days of the postnatal period of ontogenesis. The average body weight of piglets of group 1 is 550 g.; Group 2 is 1800 g.; Group 3 is 3000 g. In total, five piglets were inherited in each age group. The age was determined by the bonus cards and from the words of the chief veterinarian of the farm. To achieve this task, a set of traditional morphological research methods was used: fine anatomical dissection, histological, photographing and morphometry. Histological examination revealed that in Yorkshire piglets, the bladder wall has a typical histological structure and consists of mucous, muscular, and serous membranes. Morphometric indicators of histological structures of the bladder wall were determined and it was concluded that these values of thickness and diameter in males slightly exceed those in females.

Published: June 2023

Malnutrition syndrome is widespread in veterinary gastroenterological practice, since most pathologies of the digestive system are accompanied by the development of maldigestion and malabsorption in the intestinal mucosa and the development of a disorder in the subsequent transport of nutrient substrates, detrimental to animal health.Studies have been conducted to study the relationship of the morphofunctional state of the hepatobiliary and gastrointestinal systems in dogs with chronic gastroduodenitis with malnutrition syndrome. Scientific research was carried out during 2022 at the Donskoy State Agrarian University and at the Bely Klyk veterinary clinic (Novocherkassk) as part of a project on scientific research topics included in the scientific work plans of scientific organizations and educational institutions of higher education that carry out scientific research at the expense of federal budget "Development of a comprehensive algorithm for diagnosing and correcting disorders of the hepatobiliary and gastrointestinal systems in dogs with malnutrition" (state registration number 122030200112-4). It was revealed that malnutrition syndrome is widespread in gastroduodenal pathology in dogs, causing weight loss, development of metabolic disorders and worsening the prognosis of the underlying disease. As a result of biochemical studies of the blood of sick animals with chronic gastroduodenitis with malnutrition syndrome, a disorder of proteinenergy and water-electrolyte metabolism, as well as liver dysfunction with the development of oxidative stress of hepatocytes, was established. The presence of a relationship between the level of morphofunctional disorders of the hepatobiliary and gastrointestinal systems in chronic gastroduodenitis in dogs, accompanied by a violation of the absorption and digestion of nutrient substrates in the intestinal mucosa, was revealed. The results obtained in the framework of this study increase the usefulness of the examination of animals and the validity of the clinical diagnosis, as well as form promising directions for the scientific search for more effective means of preventing and treating gastrointestinal diseases.

The relationship of polymorphic variants of MSTN, CAST, PRLR genes with working qualities and body types of Vyatka horses was studied. The purpose of the research is to assess the genetic and breeding potential of the Vyatka breed horses, as well as to study the relationship between the MSTN, CAST, PRLR genotypes and the economically useful qualities of horses. The method of DNA extraction from Vyatka horse hair follicles using ExtraGene DNA Prep. was applied. When scanning the mutations in the loci MSTN (n=43), CAST (n=41) and PRLR (n=41), DNA amplification the method of allele-specific PCR was performed. The frequency of alleles and genotypes was calculated using MS Excel 10. As a result of research, the dependence of Vyatka horses working qualities on the frequency of occurrence of myostatin MSTN alleles (g.66493737 T>C) was noted. The horses with a higher occurrence of the MSTN/C allele have more productive movements than the individuals with the T/T genotype typical for aborigines. Vyatka horses with the T/T genotype are more versatile, and also show better results in sledding, while the horses with the T/C genotype are better under saddle. The horses with the T/T genotype have the highest bony index but the lowest massiveness index. The MSTN T/T (0.581) homozygous genotype for the "wild" allele predominates in Vyatka horses. A relation ship between body types and the calpastatin gene (CAST) has been revealed for the first time in horse breeding. The horses with the G/A genotype turned out to be the most massive and bony, the horses with the A/A genotype were lighter, the highest frequency of occurrence of the CAST G/A genotype (0.463) was noted, the CAST G/G genotype is rare in the breed (0.171). A relationship between the frequency of occurrence of prolactin receptor genes (PRLR) and body types of horses was not found. The frequency of occurrence of PRLR C/C (0.366) and PRLR G/C (0.390) genotypes is approximately identical, the PRLR G/G genotype is less common (0.244). The study of genes associated with economically useful qualities in all breeding stallions will enable to conduct more efficient breeding, using the desired genotypes, which is important for small breeds.
Morphofunctional characteristics of the skin in the assessment of adaptive capabilities in wild boars (sus scrofa scrofa (l., 1758)

Published: June 2023

The study of the mammalian skin reveals a wide range of adaptations of animals and their organs to various conditions of existence.The aim of the work is to establish, on the basis of factual material, the morphological and functional features of the skin of wild boars (Sus scrofa scrofa (Linnaeus 1758)) in conditions of adaptation to adverse natural and climatic factors.The skin samples of 6 adult individuals (males) of wild boar (Sus scrofa scrofa) caught in the autumn-winter period were studied. The morphometric parameters of the skin layers and their components were measured, based on the primary data, the total thickness of the skin and epidermis, the ratio of the outer and inner layers of the epidermis were calculated. The established absolute values of indicators (microns) were converted into relative values (%), the ratio of the stratum corneum and the underlying rows of the epidermis was found. The results obtained were processed using the Statistica (6.0) software package.In the studied animals, the skin is quite thick, with a wide variability of the indicator. We noted a well-developed epidermis in the skin of wild boars, its thickness averaged 72.99 microns. The stratum corneum, on average, reached a thickness of 36.13 microns (44.75-56.65% of total epidermis thickness), with a low level of variation (8.58%), which may be genetically deter mined. The dermis of the wild boars’ skin is well developed; it consists of densely packed, medium-sized bundles of collagen fibers that form ties with a heterogeneous binding, which indicates a high density and strength of the skin under mechanical stress and, possibly, is associated with sexual characteristics (the ability of the skin to withstand blows during fights) . Inclusions of adipose tissue were found in the lower layers of the dermis.The sebaceous glands are large, well developed, actively functioning in winter (as evidenced by the lipid mantle of the stratum corneum). A significant level of group variation was established, due to the wide individual variability of the indicators of functionally active structures (skin glands) in the studied animals, while the indicators of other derivatives of the epithelium – hair follicles, were distinguished by a very low level of variability.The data obtained allow us to conclude that the variability of the skin structure and its derivatives in wild boars have a certain significance in the process of adaptation to the effects of adverse climatic conditions, depending on the season of the year.

Published: June 2023

The importance and necessity of confirming the diagnosis of tick-borne borreliosis (Lyme disease) in dogs at the initial stages is due to the possibility of timely prescribing specific treatment and reducing the recovery time of animals. In the conditions of a veterinary clinic in St. Petersburg, tick-borne borreliosis was diagnosed in dogs, taking into account the parasitism of ixodid ticks, erythema at the site of their attachment, depression, lowgrade fever, anorexia, lameness, paraplegia, and confirmed by the PCR. In dogs of one of the experimental groups, after removing the ticks, the Borrelia Test test system was used to detect the pathogen Borrelia burgdorferi. Dogs were treated with tertacycline preparations - "Doxycycline", "Doxyfin" and fluoroquinolones - "Enroflaxocin". It was found that the oral administration of drugs "Doxycycline" and "Doxyfin" to dogs at the rate of 10 mg / kg of animal weight, 1 time per day, for 28 days is equally effective in Lyme disease. The alternation of the use of bacteriostatic antibiotics of the tetracycline series and fluoroquinolones has a greater therapeutic efficacy compared to the use of only drugs of the tetracycline group. The use of drugs "Enroflaxocin" and "Doxycycline" reduced the recovery time of animals to three weeks compared to 28 days when animals were treated only with tetracycline antibiotics. The early timing of the detection of borrelia in ixodid ticks made it possible to timely prescribe treatment to animals. In dogs of this group, it was possible to avoid the development of a severe course of tick-borne borreliosis, accompanied by a long period of fever, the development of signs of anorexia, depression, lameness, and the use of drugs from the fluoroquinolones and tetracyclines groups reduced the recovery time of animals to two weeks

Published: June 2023

Salmonellosis is one of the most widespread zoonoses. Control of salmonellosis is becoming a matter of great importance as the number of cases of Salmonella infection increases, new Salmonella serovars emerge and the bacteria contaminate food products and environment easily. Salmonella infantis is one of the most common serovars among those isolated recently from poultry products and meat products and that translates into need to develop new and effective treatment methods concerning infection caused by this serovar. In the present publication we study the comparative effectiveness of different antimicrobials selected for therapy of chicks, which have been experimentally infected with Salmonella infantis. For the experiment we employed as many as 275 Hisex Brown chicks which we had divided into 11 groups (n = 25 in each group). We administered the drugs via drinking water at a concentration 200 mg/L for 5 days. The treatment began 24 hours before the challenge. On the second day of life the chicks were challenged by intraperitoneal injection with 1.5 x 10^8 CFUs of one-day old agar culture of S. infantis in 0.5 mL isotonic saline (1 McFarland). The observation period in the experiment was 15 days following the drug withdrawal. The study of comparative effectiveness of aforementioned drugs for treatment of chicks, infected with S. infantis, demonstrated the highest therapeutic effectiveness of fluoroquinolone class of antimicrobials. The survival rate for the chicks, receiving enrofloxacin and ciprofloxacin, was 96 %. The survival rate for the chicks, receiving ofloxacin per os, was 92 %. Tilmicosin and chloramphenicol showed lower therapeutic effectiveness, 44 % and 36 % respectively. When we used tylosin, amoxycillin, doxycycline or apramycin, the results were at their worst as the mortality rate of the chicks was 80-96 %.

Published: June 2023

The problem of trichinosis on the territory of the Far East has a pronounced natural focal character with the predominant circulation of the causative agent of trichinosis in wild animals. The main species circulating in the Amur Region is the capsule- forming species T. spiralis. The ability to form capsules is one of the biological features of Trichinella larvae and a necessary component of the process of their survival. The thickness of the walls of the capsule gradually increases while the larva and intracapsular muscle sarcoplasm with nuclei remain alive. At the same time, the morphological variability of Trichinella capsules under the influence of many ecological and biological factors was noted.The goal is to determine the morphological features of the capsules of Trichinella larvae in wild animals in the Amur region.We conducted studies of the muscle tissues of wild animals by the method of compressor trichinelloscopy and the method of digestion in artificial gastric juice, according to MUK 4.2.2747-10 "Methods of sanitary and parasitological examination of meat and meat products" to determine the presence of Trichinella larvae. To establish the morphological features, the length and width of the capsules, the thickness of the capsule wall from the sides and at the poles, and the thickness of the larva itself were determined using an eyepiece micrometer. The capsule shape index (V) was calculated as the ratio of the diameter to its length (V=D/L). The shape of capsules of Trichinella larvae in different species of wild animals was determined. The relationship between the morphological parameters of the capsule of the larvae of Trichinella has been established. Indicators of the thickness of the wall of the capsule from the sides and the thickness of the wall of the capsule at the poles can be used to determine the age of Trichinella larvae.

Due to the ability of ixodid ticks to transmit pathogens transovarially and transphasically, natural foci of dangerous diseases are formed, which is important for preventive measures. Of particular danger are foci of diseases that have formed on the territory of settlements. The aim of our study was to determine the therapeutic efficacy of the insectoacaricidal drug for veterinary use "OKVET Tabs Express for dogs". In the period from June 24 to August 27, 2022, the study drug was tested on 28 dogs of both sexes with a confirmed diagnosis of ixodidosis aged from 10 months to 10 years in the farms of the Meghri district of the Syunik region of the Republic of Armenia. The species affiliation of ticks found in the studied dogs was determined jointly with the specialists of the Laboratory of Molecular Parasitology of the Scientific Center of Zoology and Hydroecology of the National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Armenia using determinants. According to the results of the experiment, it was found that 40% of all ixodid ticks found on dogs were R. turanicus Pomerantsev 1936, and ticks R. sanguineus Latreille, 1806 and H. scupense Schulze, 1919 were found in 30% of cases. After a single oral administration of the drug, we did not observe the presence of ticks in animals during daily examination for 65 days. In animals during the entire experiment, no deviations from physiological norms and anxiety were found, signs of allergic and other visible side effects were not detected

Published: June 2023

Modern technologies of cattle breeding imply the maximum use of the productive potential of animals, the realization of which is hindered by various diseases, one of which is genital mycoplasmosis. According to domestic and foreign scientists, this disease is quite widespread in livestock enterprises. Considering that mycoplasmosis is characterized by a long latent period, its diagnosis is associated with a number of difficulties, therefore, a significant role belongs to the diagnostic aspects of immuno-metabolic changes occurring in the body. In addition, it is necessary for the development of rational therapy. We have studied the effect of tulatromycin therapy in patients with genital mycoplasmosis of cows on the content of total protein, absolute and relative content of albumins and globulins, immunoglobulins and their classes in blood serum. For the experiment, 3 groups of animals were formed: the first - cows with mycoplasmosis (without treatment); the second - cows with mycoplasmosis, for the treatment of which tulatromycin was used; the third – clinically healthy cows (control). The results of studies have shown that the use of tulatromycin in this disease leads to the recovery of 75% of infected animals. significant redistribution of the content of immunoglobulins in the blood serum of cows. An increase in the content of Ig G by 44% and a decrease in the concentration of Ig M and Ig A by 37% and 31.5%, respectively, were found. However, the indicators characterizing the state of protein metabolism, except for the total protein content, did not undergo significant changes

Published: June 2023

Diseases of bacterial etiology are a serious problem hindering the development of the poultry industry, causing serious economic damage to it.Herein we present the results of studies of the effect that drugs of different antimicrobial groups (ditrim and furazolidone) have on leukogram of Hisex Brown chicks. We studied blood values in 3 groups, group I received pure drinking water, group II received ditrim via drinking water at a concentration of 200 mg/L 10 consecutive days, whereas group III received furazolidone in the same manner. Blood samples were collected at Day 1, Day 3, Day 5, Day 7 and Day 9 after the drug withdrawal. We performed leukocyte count in chick blood in each group, then in blood smears we calculated the number of eosinophils, basophils, pseudoeosinophils, lymphocytes and monocytes. We also calculated percentages of separate white blood cell types in order to perform the white blood cell differential. We discovered that administration of furazolidone via drinking water causes a long-term decrease in leukocyte number while such decrease was not observed following administration of ditrim. Leukopenia was observed in chicks of group III at Day 1, Day 5 and Day 7, their values differing from the control values by 26%, 12% and 25% respectively. Besides the administration of furazolidone via drinking water caused changes in leukogram, manifesting in prolonged dynamics of pseudoeosinophil number and lymphocyte number, and also in transitory change in eosinophil number. We did not observe such effect on blood values following the administration of ditrim to the chicks of Group II, except for transitory eosinopenia at Day 9 of our experiment

The state of the immunobiochemical status of the blood of cows when using a drug containing gm-csf was studied on 15 animals with a hypofunctional state of the ovaries. The animals were divided according to the principle of analogues into three groups. The animals were included in the experiment 45- 60 days after calving without signs of sexual cyclicity. The cows of the first group were injected with a drug based on gm-csf (granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor), the cows of the second one - follimag, the third group served as a negative control without the introduction of drugs. Evaluation of the efficacy of the use of gonadotropic and recombinant drugs showed that the use of the agent based on gm-csf turned out to be the most effective in comparison with follimag and the negative control. After the use of the drug of recombinant interferons, the content of circulating immune complexes turned out to be lower by 30.9%, malon dialdehyde - by 17.1%, medium molecular peptides - by 34.9% TNFα - by 21.0%, IL-1β - by 41.1%, IL-2 - by 35.9%, with an increase in serum bactericidal and lysozyme activity by 13.8% and 21.7%, respectively, phagocytic index - by 12.9%, phagocytic number - by 18.4%, progesterone - by 5.09 times, estradiol - by 29.3%, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate - by 78.9%, IL-4 - by 44.6%, IL-10 - by 20.3%, which indicates activation the humoral link of general nonspecific resistance, an increase in the content of anti-inflammatory cytokines, with a decrease in the intensity of lipid peroxidation processes, the level of proinflammatory cytokines against the background of the restoration of the hormoneproducing function of the sex gonads. Changes in the indicators of the immunobiochemical blood status of cows are reflected in the activation of the functional activity of the ovaries, the manifestation of full-fledged sexual cycles by animals and successful insemination.
The efficacy of glucosamine application for feed lectins neutralization as gastroenteritis prevention approach
Authors: Dabravolski S. A. , Kavalionak Y. K.
Published: June 2023

Gastroenteritis in piglets after weaning is a common disease that significantly reduces feeding efficiency, impairs performance and leads to financial losses. In this paper, we have proposed a method for the prevention of gastroenteritis by neutralizing provender lectins with glucosamine (GluA). Lectin proteins are anti-nutritional factors in provender and one of the etiological factors causing gastroenteritis. In our in vitro experiments we found that GluA effectively neutralises provender lectins. Industrial pig farms testing of the use of 0.1 g of GluA per 1 kg of provender to neutralise provender lectins as a means of preventing gastroenteritis showed that GluA effectively reduces the incidence of gastroenteritis and the number of severe cases of the disease. In the experimental groups the disease developed in a later period, when the body is more adapted. The average duration of the disease, nonproductive disposal and the number of relapses were also lower, which demonstrate the high efficiency of GluA application at a dose of 0.1 g per 1 kg of provender for the prevention of gastroenteritis in piglets.

O trabalho ora apresentado tem por objetivo detectar os impactos causados pelas redes sociais, em especial o Facebook, na rotina dos adolescentes coxixolenses. De acordo com Lemos (2005), Levy (1998), Castells (1999) Recuero (2009), Rosa e Santos (2013), entre outros, veremos que a adesão às redes sociais de internet é uma realidade presente nos novos modos de se relacionar na Pós-modernidade. Mediante leitura da literatura que aborda a temática foi elaborado e aplicado um questionário, onde o mesmo foi aplicado nas turmas de 1°, 2º e 3º ano do Ensino Médio da Escola Manoel Honorato Sobrinho da cidade de Coxixola. Os respondentes do questionário estavam divididos em 65% do sexo feminino e 35% do sexo masculino. Desses mais da metade se concentrava na turma do 1º ano representando 54% dos pesquisados, enquanto a turma de 2º ano correspondia com 31% e a do 3° ano com 15%. No que diz respeito à faixa etária dos pesquisados, metade desses tinham entre 15 e 16 anos. Os dados apresentados nus questionários mostram que 6% dos adolescentes pesquisados além de possuírem outras reses sociais possuem também o Facebook. Outo dado interessante é que esses adolescentes utilizam aparelhos celulares para acessar suas contas nas redes sociais, esse dado sugere a variável de que tal fato tenha gerado um consumismo nesses adolescentes. Os dados ainda mostram que segundo os adolescentes coxixolenses o fato desses possuírem conta em redes sociais e muitos passarem mais de três horas diárias de dedicação às mesmas, isso não alterou de forma significativa a rotina dos mesmos. Diante dos dados apresentados na pesquisa pudemos constatar que tal fenômeno que se configura na esfera global, mesmo de forma tímida e muitas vezes sendo negado pela população pesquisada esse apresenta-se na população adolescente coxixolense.

Published: June 2023

Fractional calculus is one of the evolving fields in applied sciences. Delay differential equation of non-integer order plays a vital role in epidemiology, population growth, physiology economy, medicine, chemistry, control, and electrodynamics and many mathematical modeling problems Fractional Delay differential equations usually lacks analytic solutions and some of these equations can only be solved by some numerical methods. In this review article we present a comparative study on some standard numerical methods applied to solve linear fractional order differential equations with time delay. Fractional finite difference method (FFDM), Predictor-corrector method (PCM) with new and extended versions has been discussed in this article. All above mentioned methods use the Caputo type fractional differential operator to define fractional derivatives. Solution of a real-life problem formulated by FDDEs has been discussed under these methods. Results have been presented in tabular and graphical form to analyze the efficiency and scarcity of mentioned methods. These graphical and numerical comparisons are provided to illustrate and corroborate the similarity and differences between these methods.

The high burden of kidney disease, global disparities in kidney care, and poor outcomes of kidney failure bring a concomitant growing burden to persons affected, their families, and careers, and the community at large. Health literacy is the degree to which persons and organizations have or equitably enable individuals to have the ability to find, understand, and use information and services to make informed health-related decisions and actions for themselves and others. Rather than viewing health literacy as a patient deficit, improving health literacy largely rests with health care providers communicating and educating effectively in codesigned partnership with those with kidney disease. For kidney policy makers, health literacy provides the imperative to shift organizations to a culture that places the person at the center of health care. The growing capability of and access to technology provides new opportunities to enhance education and awareness of kidney disease for all stakeholders. Advances in telecommunication, including social media platforms, can be leveraged to enhance persons’ and providers’ education; The World Kidney Day declares 2022 as the year of “Kidney Health for All” to promote global teamwork in advancing strategies in bridging the gap in kidney health education and literacy. Kidney organizations should work toward shifting the patient-deficit health literacy narrative to that of being the responsibility of health care providers and health policy makers. By engaging in and supporting kidney health–centered policy making, community health planning, and health literacy approaches for all, the kidney communities strive to prevent kidney diseases and enable living well with kidney disease.

Nowadays, the rapid and effective delivery of health services is a very important issue. The integration of health services into technology-based systems has ensured the integration of the health field with an innovative style. With the development of technology and the diversification of technological tools, important steps have been taken in the digitalization of health services. These steps are taken for the digitalization of health services offer great opportunities for the health sector. The fact that health institutions follow the digitalization process closely and adapt quickly to this process has brought many advantages. This process provides great convenience in terms of providing better health services for both individuals who want to benefit from health services and all other stakeholders, as well as health personnel working in private or public institutions. Moreover, the concept of digital health, which has gained importance with the digitalization of health services, has many applications in itself. These are wearable technologies, virtual reality technologies, tele-medicine, e-health, 3d printers and m-health applications. Among these applications, mobile health technology makes a significant contribution to the delivery of health services. İndividuals witness new developments in technology day by day and adapt easily to these developments. İncreasing demand for smartphones/devices is a result of these developments. Therefore, mobile health applications that enable remote access and can be easily downloaded to smart devices are actively used by many users. İt is possible to say that mobile health applications have positive effects as well as negative effects, especially on privacy and trust. Examples of these mobile health applications developed by the Turkey Ministry of Health are applications such as “Hayat Eve Sigar”, “Korona Onlem”, “E-Nabız”, “MHRS (Central Physician Appointment System)” which have been popular recently. İn this study, it is aimed to examine the positive and negative effects on health services by giving information about mobile health applications developed by the Turkey Ministry of Health for both citizens and health personnel.

The automotive industry requires ultra-reliable low-latency connectivity for its vehicles, and as such, it is one of the promising customers of 5G ecosystems and their orchestrated network infrastructure. In particular, Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) provides moving vehicles with localized low-latency access to service instances. However, given the mobility of vehicles, and various resource demand patterns at the distributed MEC nodes, challenges such as fast reconfiguration of the distributed deployment according to mobility pattern and associated service and resource demand need to be mitigated. In this paper, we present the orchestrated edges platform, which is a solution for orchestrating distributed edges in complex cross-border network environments, tailored to Connected, Cooperative, and Automated Mobility (CCAM) use cases within a 5G ecosystem. The proposed solution enables collaboration between orchestrators that belong to different tiers, and various federated edge domains, with the goal to enable service continuity for vehicles traversing cross-border corridors. The paper presents the prototype that we built for the H2020 5G-CARMEN trials, including the validation of the orchestration design choices, followed by the promising results that span both orchestration (orchestration latency) and application performance-related metrics (client-to-edge and edge-to-edge service data plane latencies).

In a moment when the “value” of postsecondary education has been repeatedly called into question, this study responds by identifying long-term effects of the undergraduate experience with particular attention to the general education curriculum. Specifically, it draws on 559 written responses from a wide range of alumni to identify which elements of their undergraduate education are still most salient. Of these elements, coursework emerged as most important for alumni, who cited its contributions to their development of self-understanding, interpersonal skills, career preparation, and intellectual skills such as critical thinking. Alumni also indicated that perceptions of coursework shifted with time so that courses that did not seem useful at graduation ultimately provided valuable preparation for their lives and careers. In negative accounts, alumni described a lack of guidance through curricular requirements. This study demonstrates an approach that can yield more nuanced and complex information about the general education curriculum’s long-term effects by including respondent writing as a supplement to the data gathered through closed-entry surveys. Analyzing what college alumni write about their undergraduate education proves not only to be a promising approach for understanding how to improve general education curricula more effectively, but to also further evidence for proclaiming the importance of general education.
Orthosis For Correction Of Bilateral Claw-Hand In Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease: A Case Report
Authors: CEYLAN İsmail , CANLI Mehmet
Published: June 2023

Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) is a common inherited peripheral nerve disorder. Although lower extremity deformities are more common in patients with CMT, claw-hand deformities and monkey hand deformities are also frequently seen. If these deformities are not corrected, they impair the biomechanics of the hand. Orthoses made of thermoplastic material are often used to correct these deformities. In this case, the results of the lumbrical bar orthosis applied to the bilateral claw-hand deformity in a patient with CMT are presented. Before and after orthosis use, dexterity was evaluated with the Purdue Pegboard test, hand grip strength was evaluated with a manual hand dynamometer, and pinch strength was evaluated with a pinchmeter. As a result of the evaluations, it was seen that the lumbrical bar orthosis corrected the claw-hand deformity, but did not cause improvements in hand grip strength, pinch strength and dexterity.

The isomers estragole (EST) and anethole (ANT) has been reported to present anti-inflammatory activity in different experimental models of inflammation. This study investigated the effects of EST and ANT on leukocytes migration into the knee joint, the activity of myeloperoxidase (MPO), the levels of nitric oxide (NO), cytokines and the oxidative status in the joint tissue. EST and ANT equally inhibit the zymosan-induced neutrophils influx and the levels of NO and MPO activity into the joint. EST reduced the levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 at the dose of 250 mg/kg and500 mg/kg. Only 500 mg/kg ANT reduced in minor extension the levels of TNF-α and IL-6. In contrast, the IL-10 joint levels were increased in mice treated with both ANT and EST. In addition, both EST and ANT reduced the zymosan-induced oxidative stress in the joint; however, ANT was more potent than EST to this respect. The latter could be attributed to an additional reactive species scavenging due to the double bond of the propenyl chain conjugated with the aromatic ring in ANT, but not present in EST. This same structural difference should be responsible by the distinct modulation of zymosan-induced cytokine production in the joint.

Infants aged 0-6 months are the most vulnerable to growth disorders. One way to increase a baby's weight is through baby SPA. This study aimed to determine the effect of infant SPA on weight changes in infants aged 3-6 months. This study used a quasi-experimental design with a control group pre-post test design approach. The population in this study were all infants aged 3-6 months at Ain Hartoko SPA, Tempeh District, Lumajang Regency, in July 2022. As many as 42 infants were divided into two groups, the experimental and the control groups, using the accidental sampling technique. The results showed that the baby's weight gain in the experimental group was mostly classified as overweight (56.3%), while in the control group, most were normal (62.5%). The Wilcoxon test results for the p-value for the experimental and control groups were both 0.000, so they experienced an increase in body weight after two weeks. The Mann-Whitney test results obtained p-value=0.045 <0.05, so infant SPA affects weight changes in infants aged 3-6 months. Health workers are expected to conduct counseling about infant SPA in collaboration with Toddler Posyandu cadres in the village to overcome failure to thrive in toddlers.

Based On the Theory of Planned Behaviour perspective, basic life support intention is determined by attitudes, perception of a social norm, perceived self-efficacy, and control ability in performing basic life support. This study analyzed the validity and reliability of the basic life support intention questionnaire, designed to measure basic life support intention among nurses. A total of 48 items were developed based on literature reviews encompassing four main constructs: attitude, social norms, self-efficacy, and control ability. The questionnaire then underwent a validation process, including construct and content validity (CVI) and reliability analysis.  This study was conducted on nurses in Dr. Soebandi Hospital Jember. The questionnaire was distributed to 160 nurses, of whom only 80 questionnaires were returned. The results of the CVI test on 36 questionnaire statements found that the CVI value was in the range 0,85-1. In comparison, the results of the construct validity test on 48 questionnaire statements were found to be valid and obtained 21 statement items. Reliability test-retest results obtained a coefficient correlation value of 0,75 and an alpha value of 0,669, which means it is reliable. The final set of basic life support intentions consisted of 21 items measuring attitude (four items), social norms (seven items), self-efficacy (six items), and control ability (four items) of practicing basic life support intention. The basic life support intention questionnaire was shown to be valid and reliable.
