The aim – to create a new method of assessing the development of long-term complications in STEMI patients by studying blood cell composition and its adaptation to practical application in general clinical practice.Materials and methods. The study was involved 148 patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) who was admitted from January 2014 to June 2020 to the intensive care unit. Some patients were evaluated retrospectively and were in group 1 (n=92). Group 2 – 56 patients, who were studied prospectively. The groups of patients did not differ in clinical and anamnestic characteristics and treatment. The study provided an annual observation period. The endpoint in group 1 was: death, stroke, exacerbation of coronary heart disease – including the need for revascularization, the developement or decompensation for heart failure, which led to hospitalization (in addition, group 2 was analyzed for onset of cardiac death).Results and discussion. There complex indicators were built, based on the analysis of the clinical profile and dynamics of laboratory parameters in patients with the onset of the endpoint – a modified leukocyte index (mLI), which contains the values ​​of the number and percentage of granulocytes, lymphocytes and monocytes on days 1, 3 and 10 of STEMI and leukocyte-platelet index (mLPI), which additionally includes indicators of platelet inhomogeneity in size (PDWc and P-LCR). These indices with their limit values ​​(mLI > 140 units and mLPI > 242 units) were more informative in predicting distant cardiovascular events than other laboratory markers (including neutrophil-leukocyte ratio, NLR). In a prospective study branch (group 2), the mLI and mLPI indicators also turned out to be more informative than other markers (in particular, the NLR indicator) in determining the propensity to occur as a combined endpoint (area under the curve 0.71 for both; p<0.0001), so and death (areas under the curve 0.78 and 0.84, respectively; p<0.0001). Based on the data obtained, a computer algorithm has been created that simplifies the risk assessment in AMI patients using the developed indicators.Conclusions. Created leukocyte and leukocyte-platelet indices are highly informative in predicting the risk of complications in patients within a year after AMI.

Abstract. Aquatic ecosystems and biota are often adversely affected by anthropogenic activities. Consequently, zooplanktons have been used to monitor anthropogenic impacts because of their sensitivity to their environment. Water quality and zooplankton community of the Eme River, Umuahia, was assessed between December 2017 and November 2018. The study was carried out in six stations in relation to human activities. Human activities in the watershed were dominated by sand mining. A quantitative filtration method was used for the zooplankton sample collection while standard sample collection and analytical methods were used for the water samples. The zooplankton species recorded were 27 while the most abundant zooplankton group was Rotifera. A known pollution indicator, Daphnia pulex, had the highest number of individuals. The effects of human activities in the watershed were reflected in the results of some of the physicochemical parameters of the river. The zooplankton assemblage and community structure also reflected the effects of human activities in the river. Combined effects of human activities and season contributed to the relatively low zooplankton abundance recorded particularly in some downstream stations. The impacts of sand mining on water quality and zooplankton were more remarkable in the downstream stations (4 6) where the activity was intense while a large number of children swimming and related activities during the dry season had some impacts in station 1. The dominance of indicator and tolerant species indicated that the river was undergoing eutrophication. Sand mining among other observed anthropogenic activities was a major contributor to the nutrient enrichment in the river. The major water quality parameters influencing the zooplankton community structure was revealed by canonical correspondence analysis.

Published: January 2022

Cassia leptophylla, Gold Medallion Tree (FOR295/FR363)

The gold medallion tree is planted primarily as a shade tree or as a decorative specimen for the yard or street. Many people like this tree because of its fast growth rate and showy, bright yellow clusters of flowers that bloom in the summer months. This tree loses its leaves for a very short period each year, but leaves are quickly replaced. Pruning the tree to one main leading stem from which major branches are attached can help increase its strength and sturdiness against strong wind events. The golden medallion tree is also naturally pest resistant, and as long as it is grown in areas where the temperature does not drop below freezing, it is an easy tree to care for. This 2-page fact sheet was written by Michael G. Andreu, Melissa H. Friedman, and Robert J. Northrop, and published by the UF Department of School of Forest Resources and Conservation, July 2012.

BEDSIDE LAPAROSCOPY AS DIAGNOSTIC TOOL REVIEW OF ABDOMINAL PATHOLOGIES IN CRITICALLY ILL PATIENTS: REVIEW
Authors: Coco Danilo , Leanza Silvana
Published: January 2022

Introduction: The diagnosis of abdominal pathologies in critically ill patients is often difficult because of inconclusive laboratory tests or imaging results, or the inability to safely transfer a patient to the radiology room. These causes give a delayed diagnosis of abdominal pathology in the intensive care unit (ICU) and increase rate of morbidity and mortality. The aim of this retrospective study is to evaluate the safety and diagnostic accuracy of bedside diagnostic laparoscopy in the identification of intra-abdominal pathology in critically ill patients.

Aim: The aim of this retrospective study is to evaluate the safety and diagnostic accuracy of bedside diagnostic laparoscopy in the identification of intra-abdominal pathology in critically ill patients.

Materials and Methods: A  literature research was carried out including PubMed, Medline, Embase, Cochrane and Google Scholar databases to identify articles reporting on importance of diagnostic accuracy of bedside diagnostic laparoscopy in the identification of intra-abdominal pathology in critically ill patients.

Conclusions: Bedside diagnostic laparoscopy represents a safe and accurate technique for diagnosing intraabdominal pathology in an ICU setting and should be taken into consideration when patient transfer to radiology or the operating room is considered unsafe or when routine radiological examinations are not conclusive enough to reach a definite diagnosis.

Background: Levofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that has broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, but it may induce kidney dysfunction. Clove oil (Oleum caryophylli) has antioxidant properties that may alleviate levofloxacin toxicity. This study aimed to examine the protective effect of clove oil on levofloxacin-induced nephrotoxicity in rat animal models. Methods: A total of 24 male rats were divided into 6 groups. One group did not receive levofloxacin to serve as the control. The treatment groups received a single daily administration of levofloxacin (93 mg/kg) with either placebo or clove oil (10 mg/kg, 25 mg/kg, or 50 mg/kg per body weight) pre-treatment. Another group received Curcuma extract pre-treatment as a comparison. Blood samples were withdrawn after 28 days of treatment to measure serum biomarkers (urea and creatinine), and the kidneys were removed to measure renal Malondialdehyde (MDA) and histopathological analysis. Results: The results showed that clove oil pre-treatment at a dose of 10 mg/kg was able to reduce renal MDA and serum biomarker levels (P<0.05). The effect was similar to that found in Curcuma-treated rats. In addition, clove oil (10 mg/kg) was also found to ameliorate renal histopathological damage due to levofloxacin. Conclusion: Based on biomarker and histopathological analysis, clove oil pre-treatment in rats provides a nephroprotective effect against levofloxacin toxicity.

Background: Trevo is a nutritional supplement with numerous bioactive natural products, with detoxifying and antioxidant properties. The purpose of this study was to investigate the ability of Trévo to protect against oxidative stress induced by lead in the kidneys of male Wistar rats. Methods: Thirty-five healthy male Wistar rats were divided into five groups of seven rats each, using a randomized design. I=control; II=15 mg/kg of lead acetate (PbA); III=2 ml/kg of trevo+PbA; IV=5 ml/kg of trevo+PbA; V=5 ml/kg of trevo. Animals were treated with trevo for five days before co-administration with lead intraperitoneally for 10 consecutive days. Animals were sacrificed 24hr after the last administration, blood samples were collected via cardiac puncture, and processed for assessment of urea, creatinine, and uric acid (UA), while the kidney samples were excised and processed for the following biochemical assays: Malondialdehyde (MDA), Glutathione-S-Transferase (GST), Catalase (CAT), Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), and Reduced Glutathione (GSH). Results: Injection of PbA caused a significant increase in the serum levels of urea, creatinine, and uric acid, and a significant increase (P<0.001) in the MDA concentration, and decreases in GSH concentration, CAT, SOD, and GST activities (P<0.05) as compared to the controls. Pretreatment with trevo prevented the oxidative stress induced by lead acetate in the kidney tissue samples and improve the renal function. The protective effect was evident at 5 ml/kg of trevo. Conclusion: The results showed that trevo was nephroprotective against lead toxicity and the activity might be linked to the presence of numerous antioxidant phytochemicals present in trevo.

ООО «PskovAgroInvest» pays great attention to the rearing of replacement young animals. The rate of increase in the intensity of raising heifers on the farm meets the standards and requirements of pedigree dairy cattle breeding. The farm uses stage-bystage rearing of replacement young stock, taking into account its age. A group approach to rearing young animals. Replacement heifers use natural and cultivated pastures in the summer. In recent years, the age of replacement heifers at the first insemination has noticeably decreased and approached the norm. At the same time, the live weight of animals at the first insemination increased, which in 2020 amounted to 460 kg, which opens up prospects for a further decrease in the age of the first insemination. This became possible due to an increase in the average daily growth in cultivation, which regularly increases every year and amounts to 756 g in 2020, which is 98 g, or 14.9%, more than in 2016. From table 2 it follows that in recent years, at all age periods, replacement heifers had a live weight exceeding the breed standard, which is 250 kg at 10-month-old, 290 kg at 12-month-old and 390 kg at 18-month-old age. At the same time, an increase in the average live weight of the replacement livestock is observed every year. So, in 2020, the value of the indicator was 278 kg at the age of 10 months, 331 kg at the age of 12 months, 463 kg at the age of 18 months, which is 16 kg, 54 kg and 75 kg, or 6.1%, 19, 5% and 19.3%, more than in 2016, respectively. Thus, the analyzed period allows us to conclude about the effectiveness of zootechnical work to improve the rearing of replacement heifers on the farm, but it must be continued in order to reduce the age of first insemination to 15–17 months with the optimal live weight of the livestock.

El presente artículo analiza la economía post pandemia del sector comercial del Carchi, considerando las dificultades que enfrenta este sector, aún antes de la crisis de salud. El objetivo fue identificar los indicadores del sector económico comercial de la provincia del Carchi en el período post pandemia entre los años 2019 y 2020, y analizar la afectación en el sector económico en el período post pandemia COVID-19. El estudio se desarrolló mediante un diseño no experimental, de enfoque cuantitativo y se basó en fuentes bibliográficas y documentales, principalmente se obtuvieron los datos del Servicio de Rentas Internas (SRI) y la Comisión Económica para América Latina(CEPAL). Entre los resultados se observó que, la economía en el Carchi empieza a recuperarse de manera leve en el segundo semestre del 2020, sobre todo en la ciudad de Tulcán, en parte debido al cierre fronterizo. El sector comercial se muestra entonces, como el más importante del Carchi, seguido del transporte y la agricultura, pero también como el más vulnerable a situación como la pandemia, que modifican de forma significativa el consumo de diversos productos. Para el año 2021 el Carchi empezó a mostrar signos de recuperación económica que se acercan a las cifras alcanzadas en el año 2019, no obstante, si no se incrementan los controles al contrabando y al comercio informal, los problemas en el sector comercial persistirán.

Published: January 2022

Problem and purpose. In the study of lyric works, there are tremendous opportunities to influence adolescents' personal formation, the development of their cognitive abilities, the enrichment of the value-semantic sphere. However, the insignificant progress of schoolchildren in understanding the lyrics during adolescence is noted, which is often a consequence of the dominance of didacticism in literature lessons. The research purpose is to determine the psychodidactic conditions for the development of adolescents' ability to understand lyric poetry. Methods. Theoretical and empirical methods were used in the study: operationalization of a theoretical construct, expert evaluation method, experimental research, qualitative analysis of written responses, statistical data processing (descriptive statistics, Kruskal-Wallis H test, Wilcoxon signed-rank test, Mann-Whitney U test). The total sample consisted of 311 students in grades 6-8 from four state general education schools in Moscow. Results. A system of psychodidactic principles and methods of developing adolescents' ability to understand lyric works has been created. The system is formed by the principles of open individuality, integrity, polylogueness, multidimensionality, value hierarchy. These principles are operationalized by highlighting the techniques for their practical implementation and are used as the basis for organizing the process of studying lyrics, as well as creating a psychodidactic textbook. The effectiveness of using the developed system for solving the problem was revealed: after training, the experimental group showed a statistically significantly higher level of understanding of poems, both in comparison with the results of the control group (p <0.01) and in comparison with their own results of initial diagnostics (p <0.001). Discussion and conclusion. In the course of the study, it was determined that psychodidactic conditions necessary for the formation of adolescents' ability to understand lyric poetry are, firstly, the organization of the process of studying lyrics based on the principles of open individuality, integrity, polylogueness, multidimensionality, value hierarchy; secondly, the inclusion of a psychodidactic textbook in the subject-subject interaction of the teacher and students, which determines the strategy and tactics of the activities modeled in it in the lessons of studying lyrics. The implementation of the specified conditions allows building the educational process taking into account the principles of adolescents' mental development, contributes to a significant interaction of a student with himself, the teacher, other students, the studied works.

Introduction. Volunteering is becoming more and more important in the life of civil society and for the formation of human capital, but at the same time there is a lack of comprehensive scientific practice-oriented psychological-pedagogical research on the concept of "volunteer activity". The purpose of this work is to determine the actual effectiveness of an interdisciplinary study of the psychological-pedagogical concept of “volunteer activity” in the educational space. Methods. Empirical data were obtained using the methods of psychosemantics and psycholinguistics (verbal self-descriptions "My volunteer activity" (schoolchildren and students) and "I am an organizer of volunteer activities" (teachers-organizers, leaders of volunteer centers/teams) were used; compilation of an associative dictionary, a "Personal Differential" technique. The data underwent the procedure of content analysis with the extraction of semantic units. To process the results obtained, an iterative method of cluster analysis – k-means clustering – was used; a comparative analysis of fields was implemented. The empirical study involved schoolchildren (N = 44, aged 14-17) and university students (N = 432, aged 18-20) engaged in volunteering and organizers of volunteer activities (N = 37, aged 35-40) from the Altai Territory. The total sample consisted of 910 people. Research results. The scheme of the interdisciplinary study has been tested, which makes it possible to construct the semantic space of a psychological-pedagogical concept of "volunteer activity". For each sample of respondents, two clusters were obtained: schoolchildren and university students (p≤0.01) – the measure of proximity varies from 4.59 to 9.52 for the first cluster and from 4.19 to 7.57 – for the second one; teachers-organizers (p≤0.05) – the measure of proximity varies from 2.67 to 4.89 for the first cluster and from 1.72 to 3.36 – for the second one; volunteer leaders (p≤0.05) – the measure of proximity varies from 2.67 to 4.33 for the first cluster and from 2.35 to 4.73 – for the second one. Significant differences and points of contact of semantic fields were revealed. The average values of the scales according to the "Personal differential" technique are as follows: for schoolchildren – 5, for university students – 16. Conclusion. The prospects for the implementation of this study are outlined, which consist in the empirical generalization of the continuity of implementation of volunteer practices; the structural analysis of psychological-pedagogical technologies and interactive forms of education, the development of a set of tools for assessing the effectiveness of the results of implementation of volunteer programs, the creation of an electronic database of the most effective and adequate practices.
