A Review on Medical Child Abuse and Child Protection
Authors: Ajlan Al-Jarshawi Mustafa Hussein , Al-Imam Ahmed
Published: November 2021

Background
Medical child abuse describes a child receiving unnecessary, harmful, or potentially harmful medical care at the caretaker's instigation.
Objectives
To focus on medical child abuse as an entity and emphasize its epidemiology, clinical presentations, prevention, and management.
Results
In the UK, the annual incidence of medical child abuse in children below one year increased to 3:100,000, while its prevalence in Arabs, including Iraq, is ambiguous due to lack of evidence and improper clinician's awareness. The mean age at diagnosis is 14 months to 2.7 years. Female caregivers are the most common offenders. Clinically, medical child abuse could fit into three stages; falsification of illness story, falsification of illness story and physical signs' fabrication, or induction of illness in children. A successful diagnosis mandates a comprehensive review of medical records to identify discrepancies between caregivers' stories versus clinical findings or investigations. Management requires recognizing abuse, halting it, securing the child's safety, maintaining the family's integrity when possible, and aborting unnecessary lateral referrals within the healthcare system.
Conclusion
Reported cases of medical child abuse are increasing steadily, while less severe ones go unrecognized. No diagnostic tool can help other than the physician's high index of suspicion. The management follows the same principles applied for other forms of child abuse, while good medical practice ensures its prevention.

Abstract
 
Background: Hair loss is a common skin condition. Hair is not a vital organ but losing it has a worse effect on the psychological state of the patient and may interrupt his daily social activities. Telogen effluvium founded to be the commonest noninflammatory cause to diffuse hair loss. Since nutritional disturbances are one of the triggering factors for it. It might be useful in the management of TE Due to the limited number of studies& little information is available on this subject possible role of vitamin D or its deficiency should be studied further.
Aim of the study:  to determine the association between Telogen effluvium and vitamin D level.
Materials and methods: This is a case-control study performed in a period between December 2018 until June 2020; in Baghdad dermatology center at medical city. One hundred women who were seeking treatment for diffuse hair shedding and who hadn’t received treatment or supplements yet and One hundred fifty control subjects are chosen from patients who were referred to the dermatology clinic for the treatment of nevi and who are not pregnant or lactating, had no systemic or local scalp diseases are included in the study. Full History, physical examination performed for all cases including looking for cutaneous diseases, supplements & drug intake. Serum Vitamin D3 is measured using (Ichroma (TM), Boditech Med Inc., Korea).
Result: A total of 250 females were included in this study, 100 of them got telogen effluvium &  150 were patients who attend dermatology clinic seeking treatments for nevi or skin tag (control group) .The mean age of  cases was (22.59 ±4.837 year) that wasn’t significantly different from mean age of control group (23.647±6.022 years) (p-value =0.127). The mean level of Vitamin D was significantly lower than that of control group (11.16±4.49) Vs (18.98±10.65), P value <0.001. Vitamin D mean level in acute phase was significantly higher than that of chronic phase pts. (11.68±4.77 & 9.93 ±3.55 respectively), p value=0.04. Mean vit. D among symptomatic patients. (9.7 ± 3.5) was significantly lower than that among asymptomatic pts. (13±4.19) (p=0.001).No significant association were noticed between job & residence of the patients of both groups, (P-value =0.283 & 0.069 respectively (.
Conclusion: Age mean difference was not significant among cases and controls. Deficiency in vitamin D may assume a possible leading cause of telogen effluvium among women with hair loss. Cases were significantly associated with low level of Vitamin D3 than controls.Low level of vitamin D was dominant among housewives, urban women, and among symptomatic patients with acute duration.

Polyneuropathy is a common disorder of the peripheral nervous system. Diabetic neuropathy is the most common and most studied variant of polyneuropathies. The duration of carbohydrate metabolism disorders and inadequate glycemic control are risk factors for nervous system damage in diabetes. Distal neuropathy is a common type of neuropathy associated with diabetes. Interconnecting pathological mechanisms initiated by high blood glucose result in the damage of peripheral nerve fibers. Clinical presentations of distal neuropathy depend on the damage of proximal or distal and sensory or motor nerve fibers and the involvement of the vegetative nervous system. Medications improving metabolic processes in nerve fibers and reducing the severity of peripheral nerve damage are beneficial in addressing the harmful effects of hyperglycemia. Neurometabolic therapy includes thiamine, pyridoxine, and cyanocobalamin (B vitamins) which provide neurotropic effects. B vitamins acting as co-factors in many enzymatic reactions significantly affect the normal functioning of nerve fibers. B vitamins are effective and safe agents used to treat peripheral nervous system diseases for many years. This paper discusses the potential use of B vitamins for diabetic neuropathy and the COVID-19 treatment and rehabilitation.

Role of the endocrine system in maintaining glucose homeostasis in health and disease
Authors:   I.M. Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University (Sechenov University), Moscow, Russian Federation, Nedosugova L.V.
Published: November 2021

This paper highlights fundamental views on the mechanisms of maintaining glucose homeostasis as these mechanisms are explained in the lectures on diabetes. The authors discuss hormonal mechanisms of glycemic regulation after meal and fasting, biochemical processes of lipid, protein, and carbohydrate metabolism, and their relationships to maintain energy balance under normal conditions. The role of insulin as the important anabolic hormone stimulating ATP synthesis in a cell and endogenous energy accumulation in liver and muscle glycogen, and neutral lipids, the primary energy substrate, is described. In addition, insulin affects DNA and RNA synthesis via the pentose phosphate pathway and 6-ribulose 5-phosphate, allowing for endogenous protein synthesis in protein malnutrition. The effects of contrainsular hormones supplying the body with energy under starvation (i.e., glucagon and catecholamines, which stimulate glycogenolysis, and glucocorticoids that stimulate gluconeogenesis, thereby maintaining normal blood glucose levels) are described in detail. Furthermore, the paper uncovers the mechanism of switching from carbohydrate metabolism to lipid metabolism mediated by somatotropin to preserve energy balance. Finally, the mechanisms of hyperglycemia in insulin deficiency and the appearance of clinical signs of diabetes and other endocrine disorders are addressed. KEYWORDS: carbohydrate metabolism, glucose, glucose transporters, glycolysis, glycogenolysis, gluconeogenesis, lipolysis. FOR CITATION: Nedosugova L.V.

To date, obesity is a global epidemic that resulted in increased morbidity and mortality, including those associated with thrombotic conditions. Metabolic syndrome (MS) is characterized by abdominal obesity, glucose metabolism disorders, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. Patients with MS have higher risks of thrombosis and cardiovascular events. Hemostatic disorders in women with obesity and MS are an important clinical issue. Hemostatic abnormalities in these patients (hypercoagulation, hypofibrinolysis, platelet dysfunctions) increase the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality and venous thromboembolism (VTE). Combined oral contraceptives (COCs) increase VTE risk in women with obesity. During pregnancy and postnatal period, obesity is one of the most common causes of VTE. In postmenopause, obesity and MS, and COCs prescribed as menopausal hormone therapy require close attention in controlling hemostatic parameters. This paper reviews significant hemostatic abnormalities in obesity and MS and discusses the role of these conditions in developing hemostatic disorders and VTE in women of reproductive age and postmenopause. KEYWORDS: obesity, metabolic syndrome, hemostasis, combined oral contraceptives, pregnancy, postmenopause, venous thromboembolism. FOR CITATION: Kuzina I.A., Goncharova E.V., Martirosyan N.S. et al.

Published: November 2021

The purpose of this study is to examine the validity and reliability of the Distance Education Attitude Scale for Teachers, which was developed to reveal teachers’ attitudes towards distance education during the COVID-19 outbreak. Statistical analyses were performed on 458 of the collected forms. The study group was randomly divided into two and the EFA process was conducted with 205 participants and the CFA process with 253 participants. KMO and Bartlett tests were performed to determine the suitability of the data for EFA. The KMO value was 0.0885 and the Bartlett test was statistically significant (χ2=3141, df=703, p<0.001). EFA results show that the DEASFT structure consists of 21 items and two factors, and these factors are named as “Benefits of Distance Education” and “Limitations of Distance Education”. CFA was applied on the data of 253 different people to the factor structures obtained as a result of AFA Analyses. One item was dropped from the scale because p values (0.178) is bigger than 0.05. According to fit indices (χ²/df < 1.5, CFI=0.953 > 0.9, TLI=0.942 > 0.9, SRMR=0.0735 < 0.8, RMSEA=0.0427 < 0.05), the scale is validated. The final version of scale has two factors and 20 items. Cronbach Alpha and composite reliability coefficients were calculated for reliability. For factor 1 Cronbach α=0.847 and McDonald’s ω=0.836. For factor 2 Cronbach α=0.815 and McDonald’s ω=0.845. The results of the analysis show that the scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool for determining teachers’ attitudes towards distance education.

Logoi and Muthoi: Further Essays in Greek Philosophy and Literature edited by William Wians
Authors: Bernabé Alberto
Published: November 2021

This volume of essays is the second devoted to exploring philosophical themes in Greek literature that William Wians has edited. The first, Logos and Muthos: Philosophical Essays in Greek Literature, was published in 2010. Both attempt to correct and clarify the old schema of Nestle’s Vom Mythos zum Logos [1940], a work tinged with the ideology that prevailed in Germany at the time. To this end, the volumes propose to avoid simplistic schemas, such as that of the “Greek miracle” or of the transformation of the irrational into the rational. Muthoi and logoi are realities that have much richer and more complex relationships with each other than the mere substitution proposed by Nestle.

Hellenistic Astronomy: The Science in Its Contexts edited by Alan C. Bowen and Francesca Rochberg
Authors: Geller M. J.
Published: November 2021

One of the daunting challenges involved in reviewing a 750-page standard tome on a subject like astronomy is being able to evaluate all aspects of the volume, covering technical data as well as any possible impact of subject matter on other disciplines. The editors, mindful of their readership consisting of both “insiders” and “outsiders”, have taken decisive steps towards making Hellenistic astronomy accessible and comprehensible, with an appropriate balance between complex graphs and arithmetic equations and more general topics, as well as a glossary of technical terminology. The present reviewer, an unrepentant “outsider”, will attempt to focus on some key issues involving the connections between Babylonian and Greek astronomy in the period in question, as well as the impact of astronomy as a whole.

Michel Scot: Liber particularis, Liber physonomie. Édition critique, introduc­tion et notes by Oleg Voskoboynikov
Authors: Juste David
Published: November 2021

Michael Scot (d. ca 1235) has long been known as an important figure in medieval intellectual history. Translator (from Arabic) of Greek scientific and philosophical texts, notably of al-Bitrūjī and Averroes, he spent the last years of his life as an astrologer at the court of the Holy Roman emperor Frederick II (1220–1250) in Palermo. It is at the request of the emperor that Scot composed his major work, the Liber introductorius, a massive encyclopaedia in three parts dealing respectively with astrology and astronomy (the Liber quatuor distinctionum), cosmology (the Liber particularis), and physiognomy (the Liber physonomie).

Le De anima alchimique du pseudo­-Avicenne by Sébastien Moureau
Authors: Ferrario Gabriele
Published: November 2021

Adapted and expanded from Moureau’s doctoral thesis defended in 2010 at the Université Catholique de Louvain, this monograph extends over two substantial volumes for a total of more than 1,400 pages thoroughly annotated in more than 3,500 footnotes. Numbers apart, Moureau’s praiseworthy effort aims to contribute to the study of the alchemical works of pseudoAvicenna by presenting the first critical edition of an extensive, very complex, and deeply influential treatise, the De anima, and its first annotated French translation. Moureau’s book rigorously achieves this and offers much more.

Galen: A Thinking Doctor in Imperial Rome by Vivian Nutton
Authors: Das Aileen R.
Published: November 2021

The popularity that ancient medicine and Galenic studies in particular now enjoy in anglophone scholarship is owing in no small part to the author of the monograph under review. Through his textual critical and analytic work over the past 50 years, Nutton has made the life, writings, and thought of the secondcentury ad Greek doctor Galen of Pergamum (d. ca 216) more accessible to generations of students and scholars. As Nutton admits in the introduction, the present book has the apologetic aim of defending his careerlong interest in Galen against critics who might view Galen’s obsolete medical theories and practices as evidence of a lack of intellectual worth.

Published: November 2021

Kedai kopi merupakan tempat untuk para penikmat kopi dan juga sebagai tempat bersantai bersama teman yang lainnya. Namun dimasa pandemi covid-19 seperti saat ini, hal tersebut sudah sangat sulit dilakukan. Hal ini diakibatkan karena adanya aturan untuk tidak berkumpul dan berkerumun. Dengan begitu para pemilik kedai kopi mendapatkan efek yang cukup signifikan akibat sepinya para pelanggan. Untuk itu perlu dibuat sebuah aplikasi yang bisa membantu dalam memberikan pelayanan kepada para penikmat kopi. Situasi ini membuat para pemilik kedai kopi harus mencari terobosan untuk menaikan pendapatan mereka, salah satunya melalui penjualan secara online khususnya dengan menggunakan perangkat mobile. Aplikasi ini akan menjembatani antara para pemilik kedai kopi dengan para penikmat kopi dalam transaksi dimasa pandemi saat ini. Aplikasi yang dibangun berbasis mobile dengan sistem operasi android untuk pengguna. Metode yang digunakan dalam penyusunan penelitian ini menggunakan model Waterfall. Sistem aplikasi ini menggunakan Android Studio dan Visual Studio Code sebagai Integrated Development Environment (IDE) serta XAMPP sebagai bundle untuk web server (Apache) dan database (MySQL) dengan tools Unified Modelling Language (UML). Aplikasi ini bisa membantu bagi para pemilik kedai kopi untuk memberikan informasi mengenai produk yang dijualnya juga promo serta diskon yang ada dan penikmat kopi bisa tetap menikmati kopi karena adanya kemudahan dalam mengakses aplikasi.
