The development of 3D printing technology has had a significant impact on the medical field. This technology has made it possible to create custom-made implants that can be flexibly adapted to the bone defects of individual patients. In this study, total hip arthroplasty (THA) using the custom-made implant developed in Japan, was reviewed in patients with severe acetabular bone defects. The accuracy of each implant placement was examined.

We retrospectively studied 10 patients who underwent THA with T-REX® (Teijin Nakashima Medical) at our institution between 2020 and 2022. A 3D pelvic model of each patient was created based on preoperative computed tomography (CT) data. The 3D CAD system was used to preoperatively plan the construction of an augmentation and a flange, where necessary. A pelvic model and an implant copy made to the same shape as the custom-made implant were used as a patient-specific guide. Postoperative CT data confirmed implant placement and determined alignment errors.

The absolute errors of implant alignment were 3.92 degrees for inclination, 1.81 degrees for anteversion, and 5.48 degrees for rotation. Absolute errors of 1.87 mm in the internal/external direction, 1.55 mm in the anteroposterior direction, and 1.10 mm in the vertical direction were also observed.

In conclusion, T-REX® implants can be accurately placed during THA in cases with severe acetabular bone defects. These implants can be expected to provide firm initial fixation by taking advantage of the flexibility in their design, making them a useful treatment option for patients.

Published: March 2024

Morpho-functional analysis is a major aspect of preoperative planning for THA. This study aims to investigate whether pain or movement restrictions correlate with the morphofunctional parameters pelvic tilt, pelvic bend and pelvic rotation. Pre- and postoperative CT and EOS images, as well as score values of 201 Japanese patients were analyzed. No statistical relevant correlation between the score values and the parameters could be found (|rmax| = 0,38). However, the statistical power was found to be low for our data ((1-β ~ 0.10). Further research with larger data sets is desirable.

Published: March 2024

One of the goals of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is to restore of extend the range of motion of the knee joint. A small proportion of patients who are candidates for TKA exhibit fixed flexion contracture (FFC), a condition which prevents the knee from reaching full extension and can be associated with preoperative coronal deformity. In treating FFC, surgeons have two options, either through extensive soft tissue releases or through additional resections of bone on the proximal tibia and distal femur to increase the extension gap. Usually, FFC can be corrected with just soft tissue release, however, sometimes needs to be combined with additional bone resections, especially in cases with varus or valgus coronal deformity. However, additional bone resections beyond 11mm on the femoral side can be associated with knee instability. We therefore asked, is there a relationship between preoperative coronal deformity and intraoperative bone resections required to treat patients with extreme FFC?

We analysed 3922 navigated TKA cases undertaken at our institution between March 2007 and October 2022. From this set, we identified 127 patients with extreme fixed flexion contracture (FFC) of greater than 150 and with post-operative FFC less than 50, indicating that the FFC had been resolved. Using simple linear regression and calculating the Pearson correlation coefficients, we related the preoperative coronal deformity to the maximum femoral and tibial resection depths between the medial and lateral sides. We then calculated the statistical significance and coefficient of determination.

For the 127 cases, the coefficients of determination were calculated to be 0.19 for the proximal tibia and 0.22 for the distal femur (p < 0.025). The correlation coefficients for the relationship between coronal deformity and femoral or tibial resection depths were 0.47 (p< 0.025) and -0.43 (p< 0.025), respectively.

In this study, we determined there was a moderate correlation (indicated as |0.40 – 0.59|) between the tibial and femoral bone resections required to treat extreme FFC in patients with varying degrees of preoperative coronal deformity. In planning to treat extreme FFC, surgeons should pay attention to the preoperative coronal deformity of patients as this will likely be an important factor in determining the required steps in successfully treating the FCC.

Published: March 2024

Introduction: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is an increasingly frequent option in the treatment of breast cancer. One of the goals of neoadjuvant chemotherapy is to change the indication for a mastectomy to a conservative surgery, and for axillary lymphadenectomy to sentinel lymph node assessment. Methods: This was an observational, cross-sectional, retrospective study that evaluated response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer patients undergoing surgical treatment. Patients were divided into three groups when the surgery indication was changed after neoadjuvant chemotherapy: downgrade, unchanged, upgrade. Results: During the study period, 355 patients were included with a mean age of 55 years. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy promoted a downgrade in 38.7% of patients with indication for mastectomy and an upgrade in 36.8% of patients with indication for conservative surgery; in the total group, the maintenance of indication for surgery was 62,2%. In the axillary approach, lymphadenectomy downgrade was 6.9% and sentinel lymph node biopsy upgrade was 34% with 27% being due to positivity and 7% due to disease progression. Multivariate analysis found a significant difference between clinical staging and change in surgical indication for both breast and axilla (p<0.0001). In the multivariate analysis of pathologic complete response and change of indication for breast and axilla surgery, triple negative and HER-2-positive tumors showed a significant difference (p<0.0001). Conclusions: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy was able to perform a downgrade of breast and axilla surgery in few patients and there was no relationship between the change of indication and pathologic complete response

Published: March 2024

Introduction: Breast carcinoma is considered the most common malignancy in women, with a high incidence in Brazil and in the North region, surpassed only by non-melanoma skin cancer and cervical cancer. The HER2+ molecular subtype tends to grow and spread more quickly than other subtypes, resulting in the second worst outcome, behind only the triple-negative subtype. Methods: This was a retrospective, descriptive epidemiological study, using data from the medical records of 192 patients with HER2+ breast cancer treated at the Fundação Centro de Controle de Oncologia do Amazonas (FCECON), from 2014 to 2018. Results: The mean age of patients was 52±12 years. The predominant origin was Manaus. AM (53.1%). The most common education level was complete secondary education (36.5%) and the occupation was self-employed (37%). Most diagnoses were made in 2014 (23.4%). Regarding staging, the most common ones were stages IIIA and IIIB, both 20.83%. Concerning treatment, all patients (100%) underwent radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and surgery in 80.2%, including mastectomy (58.33%) and quadrantectomy (21.87%). Local recurrence and distant metastasis were both found in 7.3% of patients. With respect to the outcome, patients in follow-up predominated (53.6%), while mortality rate was 0.5%. Conclusions: The series demonstrated that patients with HER2 breast cancer present advanced staging and undergo neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgery. The center in the present study is an institution that receives patients from several municipalities in the countryside of Amazonas and other states, and thus, many patients with advanced stages are cared for, since many such cities have no resources to perform mammography, compromising screening.

Published: March 2024

Introduction: The justification for this study emerged from the need to evaluate the performance of axillary lymphadenectomy in patients with positive sentinel lymph nodes who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Axillary lymph node dissection is an invasive and potentially morbid procedure designed to achieve complete remission of breast cancer and prevent unnecessary radical surgery. With the omission of the axillary lymphadenectomy, surgical complications are avoided including lymphedema, stress is decreased, and the quality of life improves in these patients. This study aimed to evaluate axillary recurrence in breast cancer patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy after the omission of radical axillary lymph node dissection in patients with positive sentinel lymph nodes. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted with ten patients from a clinic specializing in cancer diagnosis and treatment in Teresina (PI), Brazil, diagnosed with breast cancer from January 1998 to February 2021. These patients had positive sentinel lymph nodes and did not undergo axillary node dissection after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Results: The median patient age at diagnosis was 52 years. All of them had clinical axillary involvement and received neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimen with doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, and paclitaxel. In addition, they all received adjuvant radiotherapy in the postoperative period and the mean number of sentinel lymph nodes (SLN) removed was two. At a median follow-up of 39.5 months, there was no axillary recurrence and 90% of the patients were alive. Conclusions: At a median follow-up of 39.5 months none of the patients presented axillary recurrence.

Lobster air tawar (Cherax quadricarinatus) merupakan komoditas perikanan air tawar yang sangat menjanjikan sebagai pengganti lobster air laut. Proses penetasan telur merupakan salah satu faktor yang sangat menentukan keberhasilan dalam kegiatan budidaya lobster air tawar. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengevaluasi presentase derajat penetasan telur dan kelangsungan hidup benih lobster air tawar yang ditetaskan menggunakan metode inkubasi.Penelitian ini menggunakan metode rancangan acak lengkap dengan 4 perlakuan dan 3 kali ulangan. Perlakuan A sebagai kontrol (penetasan telur lobster secara alami), Perlakuan B (inkubasi fase 2 atau 4-6 hari setelah terjadinya fertilisasi), Perlakuan C (inkubasi fase 4 atau 10-12 hari setelah terjadinya fertilisasi), Perlakuan D (inkubasi fase 6 atau 16-18 hari setelah terjadinya fertilisasi). Telur uji yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini diperoleh dari 1 induk yang sama. Sedangkan penetasan secara alami menggunakan telur dari induk yang berbeda. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa derajat tetas telur lobster yang ditetaskan secara alami dan inkubasi berbeda nyata (p<0,05). Pada penetasan secara inkubasi derajat tetas telur terbaik berada pada fase 4 yaitu sebesar 91,1±3,85a dengan derajat kelangsungan hidup benih sebesar 91,66±14,43a. Dengan demikian, penetasan telur lobster air tawar pada berbagai fase perkembangan embrio dengan suhu optimum 30°C sebaiknya dilakukan pada fase 4 atau 10-12 hari setelah terjadinya fertilisasi dengan waktu tetas telur selama 33 hari.

O presente artigo analisa as concepções sobre o espaço educativo presentes nas proposições de três importantes autores: Johann Pestalozzi, Maria Montessori e Célestin Freinet. Uma vez que todos eles questionaram, em diferentes medidas, os modos de organização do espaço educativo, busca-se, com este texto, compreender e comparar seus objetivos educacionais e os modos como pensaram a manipulação do espaço escolar para alcançá-los. Partindo-se das contribuições de Pierre Bourdieu (2010), para quem o espaço funciona como um dos dispositivos de promoção da violência simbólica, pretende-se lançar luz à discussão sobre esta variável que é tão importante para o desenvolvimento do trabalho educativo, mas que nem sempre ocupa a devida atenção nas discussões acerca da educação.

Published: March 2024

Introduction: In this specific research study, a remarkably accurate and significantly simplified approach has been presented.Material and Metods: this research is encompasses three crucial stages. Firstly, the length of the signal is effectively diminished to an optimal magnitude through the utilization of a technique widely known as windowing. This technique plays a pivotal role in reducing the signal to an ideal size, ensuring the subsequent stages are executed with utmost precision. Secondly, the pertinent features are extracted from the shortened signal, specifically focusing on the Fractal Dimension, the Hurst Exponent, and the Ratio of Determinism to Recurrence Rate. These features are chosen due to the inherent nonlinear nature of the signal, as they provide valuable insights into the complex patterns and structures present within. Lastly, the extracted features undergo Logistic Regression, a widely employed classification algorithm, to effectively categorize and classify them. This step plays a crucial role in providing a clear and concise understanding of the underlying characteristics of the signal.Results: The implementation of the proposed method not only achieves an outstanding accuracy rate of 99.66%, but it also exhibits a linear time complexity, ensuring efficient processing. Additionally, this method leads to a significant reduction in the length of EEG signals, which is of utmost importance in practical applications.Conclusion: The primary objective of this proposed method revolves around the introduction of an online approach that can seamlessly integrate into healthcare systems. This objective is derived from a comprehensive analysis and evaluation of the obtained results, ensuring the method's practicality and effectiveness are thoroughly assessed.

Introduction: As a key custodian of public health, the Vice-Chancellor for Treatment Affairs in medical sciences universities plays a pivotal role in delivering healthcare services to the citizens through electronic service desk. In this study, we conducted an evaluation and ranking of the e-service desks managed by the Vice-Chancellor of Treatment Affairs at Iranian medical sciences universities.Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study conducted in Iran between 2022 and 2023 assessed e-service desks in medical sciences universities. The study included 51 desks categorized by their electronic service methods. Subsequently, e-services were evaluated and scored based on components, which are provided by the national administrative organization for employment. The evaluation components encompassed a) use of an e-service desk to provide services; b) provision of an information package; c) availability of a flowchart outlining the service; d) clarity of the service recipient; and e) electronic collection of user opinions. The total points and the average of each desk were calculated to rank them.Results: The assessed e-service desks were categorized into three groups based on the method of providing electronic services: service provider, service recipient, and not categorized. After evaluating each e-service desk, the highest and lowest points of e-service desks were 708 and 2. The result indicated that only 31 e-service desks achieved an average score of 50% or above.Conclusion: It could be concluded that electronic government (e-government) has been partially implemented in the field of treatment throughout a developing country. However, the absence of a unified model to serve as a guideline for designing e-service desks has resulted in an undesirable diversity in the services offered and their delivery methods. It is recommended that medical sciences universities adopt and adhere to a unified model when designing e-service desks for the provision of healthcare services electronically.
Ammonia Accumulation as a Proxy to Determine Cage-change Frequency in Antelope Ground Squirrels (Ammospermophilus leucurus)
Authors: Ellis Megan M , Brune Jourdan E , Patil Karuna , Brabb Thea L
Published: March 2024

Due to a lack of evidence-based standards for cage-change intervals for antelope ground squirrels (AGS, Ammospermophilus leucurus), we evaluated cage ammonia accumulation in our colony of adult, wild-caught AGS and identified factors that influenced ammonia levels. Intracage ammonia was measured daily in singly housed AGS in static caging that contained a running wheel and 1/2, 3/4, 1, or 2 quart (qt) of corncob bedding. Cages were changed when ammonia levels reached greater than 50 ppm, our upper acceptable limit for ammonia based on mouse studies of ammonia aversion and toxicity. We also measured average daily water consumption over 2 wk to examine any correlation between water use and ammonia accumulation. We hypothesized that the desert-dwelling AGS would not reach intracage ammonia levels of greater than 50 ppm in a 2-wk interval at any bedding volume. Our data showed that intracage ammonia was highly variable among individuals and was significantly associated with water consumption and bedding volumes. Seventeen percent of AGS on 1/2 qt of bedding and 18% on 3/4 qt of bedding reached greater than 50 ppm ammonia before 7 d. All AGS on 1 and 2 qt of bedding remained below 50 ppm ammonia for 1 wk. Even when maintained on 2 qt of bedding, not all AGS remained below 50 ppm ammonia for 2 wk. Therefore, we concluded that the most appropriate option was weekly cage change for singly housed AGS on 1 qt of bedding in static caging.
Conflictos interculturales en la lengua y la cultura japonesas. Prácticas en la docencia para encontrar soluciones en el aula.
Authors: Suzuki Yuko
Published: March 2024

A menudo se dice que aprender un idioma es aprender una cultura, y el japonés, una lengua muy diferente de las europeas, está muy fuertemente influenciado por su cultura. La adquisición de una segunda lengua influye en la identidad del individuo, fomenta su competencia plurilingüe y pluricultural y enriquece su desarrollo humano. Sin embargo, también es cierto que existen varios conflictos interculturales antes de llegar a este punto. En este artículo analizaremos dichos conflictos a través de entrevistas de historias de vida con tres españoles que han vivido en japón durante un largo periodo de tiempo, así como a través de un capítulo del reciente video “¡activa tu japonés!” (2022). Este trata la mediación desde la perspectiva de los estudiantes de japonés. Se utilizará como eje metodológico el concepto de mediación, considerado por pym (2014) como sinónimo de traducción, pero que aporta un énfasis en el proceso de situarse entre dos culturas diferentes. De esta manera, veremos que el proceso traductor o mediador no es necesariamente un acto positivo, sino que puede manifestarse también en la forma de conflictos interculturales que pueden llegar a tener un profundo impacto en la identidad y en el carácter del individuo.
Leo Tolstoy’s translation of Gospels in light of 20th century translation studies
Authors: Kalashnikov Alexander
Published: March 2024

This article is devoted to the ideas of Leo Tolstoy on translation issues represented in his almost unknown book Soedineniye i perevod chetyrekh Evangelii (The Four Gospels Harmonized and Translated) (Tolstoy 1957; Tolstoy 1896; Tolstoy 1904 a, b), in which the major parts of the New Testament were translated and commented upon with regards to the official (a.k.a. Synodal) translation into Russian as well as the original Greek text. Though Tolstoy attempted to simplify and even omit some passages as irrelevant, many of his translation methods had a clear correlation with the approaches formulated in 20th century theory of translation, namely semantic analysis, inner and surface structures and cultural equivalence.
La traducción de Irlanda: Popular Tales (1804) de Maria Edgeworth en francés
Authors: Fernández Carmen María
Published: March 2024

Maria Edgeworth (1768-1849) fue la escritora angloirlandesa más popular del siglo diecinueve. Famosa por su ingenio y vena pedagógica, Edgeworth produjo un prolífico corpus de ensayos, trabajos educativos y novelas feminocéntricas, la mayoría de las cuales fueron traducidas en el continente. Este artículo analiza la representación de Irlanda en dos versiones al francés de una de las historias de Popular Tales (1804) teniendo en cuenta que Francia se veía como una cultura superior y que Irlanda suponía un territorio exótico para los lectores europeos. Tras una contextualización de cada traducción, nos fijaremos en la comparación con el texto tal y como se publicó en Gran Bretaña. Tanto la traducción de los Pictet como la de Bertin suponen alteraciones importantes porque presentan un mundo refinado y eliminan elementos que podrían chocar a los lectores. Como consecuencia, la recepción de Edgeworth en los países francófonos difiere de la obtenida en Gran Bretaña.

Los estudios de Traductología en China han experimentado un resurgir en los últimos años debido, entre otras muchas razones, al auge de las traducciones y al desarrollo de los estudios relacionados con la lingüística aplicada en ese país. Se han recuperado para la Traductología actual figuras emblemáticas de los inicios de los estudios traductológicos en China, como es el caso de Ma Jianzhong (1845-1900), muy conocido en el ámbito de la lingüística tradicional china, y autor de un manifiesto sobre la Traducción que trasladamos al español y estudiamos en el presente trabajo. La aportación de Ma Jianzhong a los estudios traductológicos chinos estuvo silenciada durante muchos lustros, a pesar de la innegable modernidad que supuso en su época.
Una propuesta para la inclusión del parámetro protocolo de cabina en la evaluación de la calidad de la interpretación simultánea de conferencia
Authors: Marti Velázquez Olivier François
Published: March 2024

En este artículo, se presenta un nuevo parámetro, protocolo de cabina, como valor normativo para calificar la calidad de la interpretación simultánea de conferencia y obtener un nuevo sistema de evaluación. La profesión ve mermado el desempeño del intérprete en la percepción del compañero de cabina y del usuario, por desconocimiento de los componentes del protocolo de cabina, particularmente, del ruido, que impacta negativamente al producto. En los modelos teóricos, el parámetro protocolo de cabina, no ocupa un lugar preponderante para la evaluación de la calidad. Por estas razones, esta investigación tiene como objetivo analizar y segmentar el parámetro y categorizar al intraparámetro ruido, para que el intérprete simultáneo pueda considerar la eliminación de éste último como pieza clave para la optimización de su producto. La resolución del problema del ruido en la profesión puede llevar a una revolución de la manera de interactuar con la cabina.
An Account of the Subtitling of Offensive and Taboo Language in Tarantino’s Screenplays
Authors: Ávila Cabrera José Javier
Published: March 2024

Offensive and taboo language presents a challenge for subtitlers, given the impact that it can have on an audience, particularly in its written form (Díaz Cintas 2001b). The present paper contains a descriptive analysis of the subtitling of offensive and taboo language, mainly from English into Spanish, from a translational, linguistic and technical point of view. Based on three of Quentin Tarantino’s films – Reservoir Dogs (1992), Pulp Fiction (1994) and Inglourious Basterds (2009) –, particular attention is paid to the way in which these terms and expressions were subtitled for the benefit of a Spanish audience. By using a multi-strategy design in which mostly quantitative and some qualitative data are combined, the main goal of the paper is to look into the way this type of language was subtitled in these films, thereby enabling other scholars to use this same methodology when undertaking research on similar projects, in the same or in different language combinations.
La medicina en televisión: implicaciones para la traducción. El caso del doblaje de las series sobre médicos
Authors: Villalba Jiménez Rubén
Published: March 2024

El presente estudio parte de la concepción de la traducción de productos audiovisuales médicos como un fenómeno comunicativo y social de masas con implicaciones directas en la labor traductora. Esta traducción médica audiovisual vendría caracterizada por una triple dimensión: terminológica, social y audiovisual. Emprendemos, pues, un estudio mediante el cual evaluamos la precisión y calidad de la versión doblada al español de una serie médica de habla inglesa. Para ello, sometemos un capítulo de la serie a un doble análisis: traductológico, comparando las réplicas de ambas versiones mediante las técnicas de traducción empleadas, y facultativo, mediante la elaboración de un cuestionario diseñado para conocer la valoración médica. Los datos obtenidos revelan un número importante de casos en los que se incumplen los parámetros de calidad terminológica y comunicativa, lo que resulta en un cierto grado de desacuerdo por parte de los facultativos respecto a la versión doblada.
Sobre las peculiaridades de la traducción al español de los “nombres parlantes” en las obras de N. V. Gógol

Published: March 2024

En el presente artículo se estudian las particularidades de la traducción de los nombres parlantes al español en las obras de N. V. Gógol. Se destaca la necesidad de descifrar y transmitir la semántica de estos nombres propios de los personajes de una obra porque frecuentemente se convierten en el único medio de creación del efecto cómico presente en el original, y, al mismo tiempo, contienen información extralingüística que el traductor debe transmitir al lector. Se ofrece un análisis de la semántica y prágmática de los nombres propios parlantes, teniendo en cuenta su componente extralingüístico y se investigan los métodos utilizados por el traductor en algunas de las traducciones existentes, insistiendo en la necesidad de una correcta transferencia de los significados de los mismos y subrayando el papel del contexto en la transmisión de sus significados.

It is essential for pre-service teachers to hold positive beliefs about information and communication technology (ICT) and possess digital skills to integrate digital technology successfully into the teaching and learning environments. Although numerous studies have examined teachers’ attitudes toward ICT, little research has examined teachers’ ICT competency beliefs. This research aimed to explore pre-service teachers’ ICT competence beliefs. We used an instrument developed by previous researchers for data collection. The results showed that the pre-service teachers had good ICT competence beliefs. A few gender differences were found between participants’ mean scores on six dimensions of the data collection instrument. No gender differences were found for many items. It was found that there were no significant differences in the years of study of participants across five different grade levels. However, the lowest mean scores were found in analyzing and reflecting, problem-solving, and information and data literacy. Conversely, the highest mean scores were detected in communication and collaboration, digital content creation, and safety and security. Based on these findings, recommendations have been made for practice and future research.

Children are considered one of the main user profiles of metaverses, since they get into those digital universes by playing sandbox video games as Fortnite, Minecraft, or Roblox. However, a lack of research focused on the how, why and outcomes of this vulnerable target in metaverses has been noted. This study aims to investigate the behavior of children in the metaverses through their use of video games and the perceptions of their parents, considering them an indirect target. A total of 31 semi-structured interviews were conducted with children aged between six and 12 years old and their parents. Also, a non-participatory observation of five children while they were playing video games in their domestic environments were carried out. Results show that children play sandbox video games to have both online and offline presence, interacting with familiar people and strangers to feel connected to the community. Also, they recognize brands in those universes and the importance of designing avatars. For its part, parents identify some negative outcomes of video games, but their perception is mainly positive, above all in terms of collaboration and participation. A dichotomy between observation findings and parents’ response has been noted, reflecting a need of digital literacy in terms of communication.

EL CASO ADMINISTRATIVO NO PREVISTO EN LA ACTUALIDAD
Authors: Massimino Leonardo
Published: March 2024

Resumen: Este trabajo analiza el modo en que los jueces resuelven e integran en la actualidad los casos no previstos en materia de derecho público. Las conclusiones revelan principalmente que el cambio de fuentes del derecho, operado como consecuencia de la incorporación de los derechos humanos en el ordenamiento juridico, trajo aparejadas nuevas estrategias de integración de los casos administrativos no previstos y, más precisamente, de resolución de los conflictos públicos. También se evidencia que la integración normativa se efectúa acudiendo a otras normas análogas o por vía de la supletoriedad a otros textos normativos,sin que la cuestión administrativa vea alterada su calificación jurídica.
Correlation between Umbilical Cord Torsion and Doppler Parameters of the Umbilical Artery: A Single-Center Retrospective Case-Control Study
Authors: Li Yuan , Zhang Dirong , Shi Yu
Published: March 2024

Background: Umbilical cord torsion is one of the known causes of perinatal fetal death, adding to the increase in perinatal morbidity and mortality. However, there is no study on the relationship between umbilical cord torsion and the changes in umbilical artery Doppler parameters. Methods: The subjects included 962 pregnant women who were discharged from our hospital from January 2015 to November 2021 and were eligible for inclusion (415 in the study group and 547 in the control group). The measurement data of umbilical artery Doppler parameters (peak systolic velocity (PSV), systolic/diastolic ratio (S/D), resistance index (RI), pulse index (PI)) were collected from 21 to 40 weeks of gestation, and the differences among the collected parameters were statistically analyzed. Results: The peak systolic velocity (PSV) of umbilical artery were positively correlated with gestational age, while the Doppler resistance parameters (S/D, RI, PI) of the umbilical artery were negatively correlated with gestational age. The mean values of umbilical artery Doppler parameters (PSV, S/D, RI, PI) in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group at the same gestational age (p < 0.05). Conclusions: The decrease of Doppler parameters in the umbilical artery in late pregnancy was significantly related to umbilical cord torsion, which may be used as a reason for prenatal ultrasound screening for umbilical cord torsion. In the future, we need to combine further perinatal and prognostic data to carry out a prospective study.

Published: March 2024

Introduction. Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common rheumatic disease in children [1]. The etiology of the disease is currently unknown, but there are many works on the role of the intestinal microbiota in JIA and its interaction with antirheumatic drugs (methotrexate). There are a number of data on the effect of methotrexate on the intestinal microbiota. The article provides a review of the literature on the involvement of the intestinal microbiota in the induction of autoinflammation and the possible antagonism between the intestinal microbiota and methotrexate.
