Gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is a critical and potentially life-threatening condition frequently observed in the intensive care unit (ICU). This literature review consolidates current insights on the epidemiology, etiology, management, and outcomes of GI bleeding in critically ill patients. GI bleeding remains a significant concern, especially among patients with underlying risk factors such as coagulopathy, mechanical ventilation, and renal failure. Managing GI bleeding in the ICU requires a multidisciplinary approach, including resuscitation, endoscopic intervention, pharmacologic therapy, and sometimes surgical procedures. Even with enhanced management strategies, GI bleeding in the ICU is associated with considerable morbidity and mortality, particularly when complicated by multi-organ failure. This review reiterates the need for adequate resuscitation and interventions in managing GI bleeding in critically ill patients, aiming to enhance survival rates and improve the quality of care within the ICU setting.
Thrombolysis and extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation for cardiac arrest due to pulmonary embolism: A case report
Authors: Yuan Guan-Xing , Zhang Zhi-Ping , Zhou Jia
Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND

Cardiac arrest caused by acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is the most serious clinical circumstance, necessitating rapid identification, immediate cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and systemic thrombolytic therapy. Extracorporeal CPR (ECPR) is typically employed as a rescue therapy for selected patients when conventional CPR is failing in settings where it can be implemented.

CASE SUMMARY

We present a case of a 69-year-old male who experienced a prolonged cardiac arrest in an ambulance with pulseless electrical activity. Upon arrival at the emergency department with ongoing manual chest compressions, bedside point-of-care ultrasound revealed an enlarged right ventricle without contractility. Acute PE was suspected as the cause of cardiac arrest, and intravenous thrombolytic therapy with 50 mg tissue plasminogen activator was administered during mechanical chest compressions. Despite 31 minutes of CPR, return of spontaneous circulation was not achieved until 8 minutes after initiation of Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support. Under ECMO support, the hemodynamic status and myocardial contractility significantly improved. However, the patient ultimately did not survive due to intracerebral hemorrhagic complications, leading to death a few days later in the hospital.

CONCLUSION

This case illustrates the potential of combining systemic thrombolysis with ECPR for refractory cardiac arrest caused by acute PE, but it also highlights the increased risk of significant bleeding complications, including fatal intracranial hemorrhage.
Diabetic foot attack: Managing severe sepsis in the diabetic patient
Authors: Balakrishnan Kisshan Raj , Selva Raj Dharshanan Raj , Ghosh Sabyasachi , Robertson Gregory AJ
Published: December 2024

Diabetic foot attack (DFA) is the most severe presentation of diabetic foot disease, with the patient commonly displaying severe sepsis, which can be limb or life threatening. DFA can be classified into two main categories: Typical and atypical. A typical DFA is secondary to a severe infection in the foot, often initiated by minor breaches in skin integrity that allow pathogens to enter and proliferate. This form often progresses rapidly due to the underlying diabetic pathophysiology of neuropathy, microvascular disease, and hyperglycemia, which facilitate infection spread and tissue necrosis. This form of DFA can present as one of a number of severe infective pathologies including pyomyositis, necrotizing fasciitis, and myonecrosis, all of which can lead to systemic sepsis and multi-organ failure. An atypical DFA, however, is not primarily infection-driven. It can occur secondary to either ischemia or Charcot arthropathy. Management of the typical DFA involves prompt diagnosis, aggressive infection control, and a multidisciplinary approach. Treatment can be guided by the current International Working Group on the Diabetic Foot/Infectious Diseases Society of America guidelines on diabetic foot infections, and the combined British Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society-Vascular Society guidelines. This article highlights the importance of early recognition, comprehensive management strategies, and the need for further research to establish standardized protocols and improve clinical outcomes for patients with DFA.

Authors: Hardi Nicholas , Natalia Natalia , Theresia Fransisca
Published: December 2024

Mental disorders were prevalent worldwide, and healthcare utilization was crucial. Initiating and sustaining treatment for individuals with mental disorders was compulsory to achieve recovery, disease burden reduction, and improved quality of life. As an attempt to obtain external assistancen to cope with mental health problems, help-seeking began from the ability to perceive a need for care that raises the seeking help intention. Mental health literacy (MHL) and mental health belief (MHB) influence individuals’ awareness of mental health problems and determine their help-seeking behavior. This review aimed to comprehend help-seeking behavior promotion through MHL, MHB, and interventions known to improve them. Publications within the last 5 years from PubMed and Google Scholar were used as references, including citing the original articles. MHL was influenced by age and gender. Religion, culture, age, and gender have been identified as factors thataffect MHB. Psychoeducation is considered an essential strategy to promote help-seeking behavior, which could be performed individually or in an empowered community. Efforts to understand various populations’ MHB, enhance MHL, and encourage help-seeking behavior should be endorsed. Therefore, early intervention to prevent further mental health burdens could be conducted.

Behavioral description of the endangered lizard Liolaemus arambarensis in its natural Restinga environment through continuous filming
Authors: Gregol Rafaela Kleinubing , Souza Débora Newlands de , Verrastro Laura
Published: December 2024

Behavioral description is of key importance for the development of research and conservation projects for animals. Lizards are commonly classified by their foraging behavior, which can occur in a spectrum from “strictly ambush” to “wide-foraging”. Such characteristics are of taxonomic importance and play a crucial role in ecological function. Classic studies investigating foraging in lizards usually observe individuals in the field, but observer bias and other impacts may be poorly accounted for. We use surveillance cameras to describe the behavior of an endangered sand lizard. Continuous video was captured from 3 points within the study area on the dunes coasting the Patos Lagoon (Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil) for 48 days mostly during the hot season, which was screened for the appearance of the species, resulting in 7.35 hours of lizard footage. The behaviors performed were then identified and denoted. From this we observed that the individuals spent 90% of the time stationary, and in the remaining 10% they were found mostly dislocating, changing body posture or performing a sexual/territorial display. It was then possible to classify the species as a typical ambush predator. In addition, the predation footage obtained fit perfectly with that model. The recordings also showed other native vertebrate species as well as invasive wild-boars, which are a threat to the ecosystem. These findings inform the management and conservation needs of the Restinga habitat, that already faces many preservation challenges, and expand the prospects for future work both for the ethology and ecology of lizards.

Black Shadow: Effect of Energy Poverty on the Informal Economy in Developing Countries
Authors: Ngnouwal Eloundou Georges , Ondoua Beyene Blaise Ondoua Beyene , Emmanuel Ongo Nkoa Bruno
Published: December 2024

Energy poverty is a major problem in developing countries, with informal businesses often forced to use inefficient generators or equipment to produce electricity, which can lead to high production costs and lower productivity. As a result, these businesses may be less competitive on the market, which may lead them to operate informally to avoid the high costs associated with regulation and taxes. The aim of this paper is to assess the effect of fuel poverty on the informal sector in developing countries. We start from a sample of 95 developing countries, over the period 1993-2017, specify and estimate a static and dynamic model by Robust Pooled Ordinary Least Squares (Robust POLS) and System Generalized Method of Moments (sGMM). The results suggest that energy poverty increases informality in developing countries. The analysis remains robust to the consideration of disaggregated indices of fuel poverty, and alternative measures. The mediation analysis suggests that the effect passes through several mediators. Our policy recommendation is to improve access to clean energy and electricity for developing countries, which has an impact on informal entrepreneurship.

Published: December 2024

Objective: For successful embryo implantation in women with high pulsatility, uterine vascular resistance and pulsatility must be reduced. We examined the effects of amlodipine on uterine pulsatility index (PI), resistance index (RI), and embryo transfer (ET) outcomes in women with prior implantation failure and at least one elevated uterine PI measurement (especially higher than 3).Methods: Between February and November 2023, our reproductive facility conducted a single-center randomized clinical trial, enrolling 100 patients with previous implantation failure and at least one uterine PI measurement exceeding 3. Participants were randomly assigned to receive either amlodipine (5 mg) or placebo (n=50 per group). Hormone replacement therapy was the predominant method for endometrial preparation. Transvaginal ultrasonography was used to measure uterine artery resistance and pulsatility on day 1 or 2 of menstruation. Women in the amlodipine group received 5 mg nightly. Following repeat transvaginal ultrasound to assess PI and RI, ET was performed. If a positive pregnancy test was obtained, treatment continued for a total of 7 weeks.Results: Amlodipine reduced blood flow indices in the uterine artery. Among placebo recipients, 18% tested positive for beta-human chorionic gonadotropin, compared to 26% of medication recipients. However, this difference was statistically insignificant (p=0.472). Gestational sacs were observed in 12% of the placebo group and 22% of the medication group, but this difference was also insignificant (p=0.28).Conclusion: Amlodipine appears to reduce uterine pulsatility and resistance during ET. Despite the absence of significant differences in pregnancy outcomes, this promising drug merits further study in women with implantation failure.

This study aimed to determine the association between the ORP in FF and IVF/ICSI outcomes.Methods: This cross-sectional study involved data collection from 341 couples undergoing IVF/ICSI treatment. The FF sample was taken from the first follicle to exceed 18 mm during oocyte retrieval and was analyzed for ORP using the MiOXSYS system (Caerus Biotechnologies).Results: ORP in FF exhibited a statistically significant negative correlation with the fertilization rate (correlation coefficient, –0.126; p=0.019). The ORP levels in the FF from the group with a lower fertilization rate (<80%) were significantly higher than those in the group with a higher fertilization rate (≥80%) (89.90 mV vs. 78.98 mV, p=0.030). No significant correlations were found between ORP in FF and other outcomes.Conclusion: Our findings suggested that the ORP in FF may be correlated with the fertilization rate and could be evaluated as a predictor of fertilization in ICSI.

Published: December 2024

This study explores the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) with finite difference methods (FDM) to enhance the numerical solution of partial differential equations (PDEs) in physics, engineering, and data science. Traditional FDM approaches, though effective for approximating solutions to PDEs, face limitations in handling high-dimensional, nonlinear, or computationally intensive problems due to constraints in grid size and stability. AI techniques, particularly machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL), offer promising enhancements, including adaptive grid refinement, optimized time-stepping, and model selection, which significantly improve accuracy and computational efficiency. Using Python-based implementations, this research investigates AI-augmented FDM for various PDEs, including the heat equation, wave equation, Laplace’s equation, and Burger’s equation. Simulation results demonstrate that AI-enhanced FDM not only achieves robust performance but also reduces computational costs by focusing resources on high-error regions in real time. These findings highlight the potential of AI-driven techniques to revolutionize numerical modeling in applications such as fluid dynamics, climate modeling, and wave propagation. This interdisciplinary approach opens avenues for scalable and efficient solutions to complex PDEs, with implications for diverse fields like healthcare, finance, and geophysics. Future research will focus on extending these methods to more intricate PDEs and exploring their application in real-world, resource-constrained scenarios.

Scientific research especially in social sciences is a result of accumulated experience and expertise
from previous studies. this Research aims to examine the development of academic and professional
accounting in Non-Profit sector from an international perspective by reviewing the previous
literature associated with the comprehensive accounting function in Non-Profit sector, starting from
the current accounting framework down to the role of the stakeholders’ theory by summarizing and
analyzing the accounting academic research findings in this area to identify the main strengths and
weaknesses points. This will contribute to developing the comprehensive accounting function in
the non-profit sector. Furthermore, in terms of the legislative and regulatory side. there are growing
doubts about: is the accounting thought able to improve the financial regulation in NPOs in this
way? The main motivation for the researchers to conduct this study was the findings of many
academic studies that indicated the inadequacy of the current accounting framework and regulation
(traditional) to meet the requirements of the accounting function in NPOs from the stakeholders’
perspective, The Researchers observed by tracking the accounting thought’s development in the
financial accounting standards-setting process- in general – that it lies between two main
perspectives. The first perspective considered the accounting standards’ development came to
provide more information for decision-making, especially with the growing groups and
requirements of stakeholders meanwhile the second perspective considered the accounting
standards’ Development was a natural result of the business environment’s development and the
need for new methods and tools by accounting function to give credibility and legitimacy to the
organizations’ activities

Published: December 2024

La descarga de aguas residuales de colorantes procedentes de diferentes industrias constituye un gran peligro para el medio ambiente; su rápida y eficiente remoción es una prioridad importante para los seres vivos. Los colorantes son uno de los más importantes contaminantes del agua debido a su amplio uso en diferentes industrias. Debido a su compleja estructura, son difíciles de degradar, por lo que es necesario buscar alternativas para su adecuada eliminación del agua. Debido a factores como su efectividad, selectividad, fácil operación, entre otros, la adsorción es uno de los métodos más ampliamente utilizados para la eliminación de dichos colorantes. Una de las ventajas de este método en la actualidad, es el empleo de nanomateriales, es decir, materiales a una escala muy pequeña que presentan grandes áreas superficiales, lo que permite tener una mayor oportunidad de remover los colorantes del agua. El óxido de grafeno, los nanotubos de carbono y los puntos cuánticos de grafeno han mostrado un destacado desempeño en la remoción de los colorantes catiónicos y aniónicos presentes en agua y tienen una prometedora aplicación en esta área debido a su naturaleza no tóxica, su alta velocidad de adsorción y su capacidad selectiva. El objetivo del trabajo es dar a conocer el potencial que tienen los nanomateriales de carbono en la remoción de colorantes del agua.
