Published: August 2023

The article provides data on the history of creation, study of the functions and role of the "hunger hormone" ghrelin in the human body and animals The regulatory effect of ghrelin on formation is described in detail appetite and eating behavior, the amount of its content in the blood under different conditions. Establishing the role of ghrelin in physiological processes is an important discovery. Actuality of theme. New data appear every year on the role of ghrelin in various processes. The conducted research is relevant and up-to-date. Main part. The role of ghrelin in conditions of chronic stress and depression, dysfunction is shown hypothalamus and obesity. Ghrelin is one of the main regulators of appetite and eating behavior. It plays an important role in the regulation of biochemical processes related to digestion, mainly by influencing the synthesis of various enzymes. The hormone is a powerful stimulator of gastric secretion and motility of the organs of the digestive system, including the gallbladder, which prevents bile stagnation and improves the function of other organs and systems. The work of scientists has opened another direction of the properties of ghrelin regarding its effect on the psyche. It becomes clear why some people who are in a state of stress or depression begin to overeat. According to the authors, ghrelin coordinates the body's overall behavioral response to stress and affects mood, stress and the level of energy consumption by the body. Conclusions. Therefore, ghrelin plays an essential role in the functioning of many organs and body systems. As an orexigenic hormone, it is one of the most important regulators of appetite and eating behavior, the level of which depends on the nature and mode of nutrition. Activating neurons of the hypothalamus leads to a positive energy balance due to stimulation of food consumption and increased utilization of fat

Authors: Butska Kateryna
Published: August 2023

The article is dedicated to a comparative study of reflections on memory in the works by O. Zabuzhko and D. Ugrešić. The purpose of the article is to highlight the differences and similarities in the writers’ interpretations of the post-communist turn in collective memory. The scientific novelty of the article is defined by the fact that it is the first attempt of comparative study of reflections on memory in the works by O. Zabuzhko and D. Ugrešić in Ukrainian literary studies. The novels “The Museum of Abandoned Secrets” by O. Zabuzhko and “The Museum of Unconditional Surrender” serve as the material for the study. The context of the analysis is expanded by looking at the writers' publicist work, namely the collections of essays “Culture of Lies. Antipolitical Essays” by D. Ugrešić and “Chronicles of Fortinbras” by O. Zabuzhko. The main research methods used in the article are the comparative and the cultural historical. Conclusions. The common features of the interpretation of memory issues in the works of the selected authors are their interest in changing the discourse of memory as a result of the fall of communism, their attention to ideological manipulations with collective memory, and a clear opposition between "official history" and private memories. The main differences in the writers' reflections are defined by the fact that D. Ugrešić's criticism is directed primarily against nationalist narratives of the past, while O. Zabuzhko reflects on the tragic consequences of imperial influence on the collective memory and identity of Ukrainians.
Colloquiality as a concept of the history of language
Authors: Tsurkan Maria
Published: August 2023

Speech phenomena have long been the object of consideration in the history of literary language. They were interpreted as phenomena of vernacular speech, since the subject of this branch of linguistics is the study of the ways of formation of literary language against the background of interaction with spoken language, which has areal and social differentiation. The need to use the terms vernacular language, vernacular element, vernacular style disappeared due to two factors: 1) the researchers linked these concepts with a certain abstract model in the general picture of the history of the literary language, the formation of the Ukrainian literary language based on written sources and the influence of the language of folklore; 2) in stylistics, a colloquial (colloquial and everyday) style of literary language was distinguished, which is based on oral colloquial everyday language with territorial and social variants. The purpose of the article is to describe the relationship between the functional and stylistic category "vernacular" and the historical-linguistic concept "vernacular". Materials and methods. The use of the term "eloquence" in modern linguistic stylistics is interpreted through the use of methods of analysis, synthesis and generalization of scientific theories. Conclusions. Colloquiality is a category that unites units of literary and non-literary oral conversational and everyday sphere of use in their stylistic function (nominative, emotional-expressive, socio-cultural and communicative-pragmatic). The appearance of language units with a colloquial register in this or that micro-context is motivated by the writer's artistic intention, the chosen theme of the work, stylized communicative situations in which it unfolds.

Published: August 2023

Introduction

Anti-Black racism is a social determinant of health that has significantly impacted Black children and families. Limited research has examined anti-Black racism during the early years—a critical period of development. In this study, we sought to understand the manifestations of anti-Black racism in early childhood and explore its impact on Black children and families.

Methods

This qualitative research project was informed by critical race theory, Black Critical Theory and interpretive description. Early childhood educators (ECEs) and parents with Black children between the ages of 18 months and 5 years (n = 15) participated in virtual, semistructured interviews.

Results

Awareness of and protection against anti-Black racism was a constant in Black families’ lives. Parents felt as though they had to remain hypervigilant and overprotective of their Black children, knowing they were liable to encounter racial violence. The early learning environment was a source of heightened stress for families, given the significant amount of time young children spend in child care. Black children were often “othered” in predominately White spaces and had been objectified by White ECE staff and children. Parents worked to instill a strong sense of self-confidence in their children to counteract the negative impacts of racial discrimination.

Conclusion

Results from this study suggest that children as young as 18 months are experiencing racial violence and adverse childhood experiences. Findings may contribute to antiracist policy development and a focus on more inclusive early childhood education for Black children and families.

Introduction

In Canada, people experiencing socioeconomic inequities have higher rates of late diagnosis and lower survival rates than the general population. Palliative care services focussed on this population are scarce. We developed a community-based nursing intervention to improve access to palliative care for people experiencing socioeconomic inequities and living with life-limiting illnesses in an urban Canadian setting.

Methods

This community-based, qualitative research study combined critical and participatory research methodologies. The study was conducted in partnership with the Palliative Care Outreach Advocacy Team (PCOAT) based in Edmonton, Alberta, a team dedicated to serving populations experiencing socioeconomic inequities who require palliative care. Following an exploratory phase that served to delineate the intervention, we undertook a one-year pilot implementation during which a part-time registered nurse (RN) joined PCOAT. The RN engaged in trust building, resolution of health and practical needs and complex care coordination. Twenty-five patients participated in the intervention. Participants were interviewed at least once to explore their experiences with the intervention. Data were analyzed through thematic analysis.

Results

Most participants were men, were Indigenous and had advanced cancer. Participants had significant financial concerns, lived or had lived in precarious housing situations and had previously faced serious challenges accessing health care. Participants reported social and health needs including housing, finances, transportation, symptom control, harm reduction and end-of-life care. Participants reported improved access to health and social services and expressed satisfaction with the study intervention.

Conclusion

Study findings suggest the study intervention may have contributed to improved access to palliative care, improved experiences for participants and increased equity in the delivery of care.
Systematic news media scanning and synthesis: creating a dataset of emergent initiatives and localized responses to public washroom provision in Canada during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Leroux Janette , McCullogh Emily
Published: August 2023

News media are an underused source of localized information on complex and structural public health issues that are neglected in policy and unaccounted for in mainstream data collection. We applied systematic review search methods to online news media and developed a dataset highlighting municipal reactions and initiatives in response to public washroom pressures during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. Reliance on consumer-based models of washroom access “became news” amid the closures and lockdowns. Our results showed that many municipalities were grappling with the issue, but overwhelmingly responding with temporary and pandemic-specific measures that did not address the needs of marginalized groups.

Durum Wheat Breeding for Enhanced Safety and Nutritional Value: A GWAS Approach to Tackling Aluminum Uptake
Authors: ALSALEH Ahmad
Published: August 2023

The importance of producing safe and high-quality food is on the rise, and developing durum wheat varieties with low aluminum content is crucial in meeting this demand. Breeders can achieve this goal by developing new varieties that are more resistant to aluminum uptake. To reach this purpose, aluminum levels in a diverse collection of durum wheat genotypes were evaluated, including Turkish-released cultivars and local landraces, by using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry was used. The results revealed that genotypes ranged from 0.9 to 24.6 mg kg-1, with an average of 3.31 mg kg-1, while 93.1% of them had a low content of ≤ 5 mg kg-1. A genome-wide association study is a robust method for uncovering genetic variations linked to specific traits. In this study, two marker-trait associations were identified on chromosomes 2A and 3A, which explained a phenotypic variation of 14 and 71%. These findings highlight the need for continued monitoring to ensure safe and healthy food for consumers and suggest that collaborative genome-wide association studies and marker-assisted selection can accelerate the development of new durum wheat varieties with reduced aluminum levels. However, further research is necessary to confirm and validate the genetic factors contributing to aluminum content variation among different durum wheat genotypes, although the study's methodology was robust.

New Design of Encryption with Covertext and Reordering
Authors: Ardhianto Eka
Published: August 2023

Documents for some entities are confidential and important, so security is required. Encryption with Covertext and Reordering (ECR) is a text-based document security model. ECR uses a random key to generate the ciphertext. The ECR’s random key is selected using the human-generated method. This research aims to increase the level of document security based on the ECR mechanism. This paper proposes a new method by using a random key in a permutated table. The random key is generated automatically by a function. The entropy is used as a measurement of the security level of the encrypted documents. The experimental shows that the permutated table inside the ECR provides better entropy values. It implies a better security level. The use of permutated tables also makes it easier to use ECR to secure documents.

Semarang University (USM) is a private university in Semarang that has the most 2 students in Central Java. Based on the 2019 USM tracer data showing horizontal alignment, namely how close the relationship between the field of study and alumni work is, it appears that there is still a discrepancy in the ability of graduates with stakeholders.  The Apriori algorithm is the best-known algorithm for finding high-frequency patterns  Rules that state associations between attributes are often called affinity analysis or market basket analysis. The use of the Apriori Algorithm in data mining calculations using data from the Semarang University tracer that the limit of the minimum support is 50% and the minimum confidence is 100% so that it forms 4 rules. From the four rules produced that modeling using the Apriori Algorithm can produce several rule formations so that it can provide an evaluation to the University for compiling steps, this can be seen because the resulting rules are different because each graduate relationship with the desired desires and different styles.

Published: August 2023

Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) can be described as an acute, transiently occurring form of heart failure. It typically causes systolic dysfunction of the left ventricle (LV). Perhaps what is of most significance is the reversible nature of TTS, with many patients achieving recovery within a few weeks to months. TTS can be referred to by other names, attributed to its various precipitants, as well as the structural manifestations of the syndrome. Physical and emotional stressors have been identified as the most common of causes, hence the terms ‘stress cardiomyopathy’ and ‘broken heart syndrome’. Precipitants can range from psychological, and hormonal, to molecular mechanisms. The symptoms of TTS can coalesce with other conditions and hence give rise to many differential diagnoses. Most patients present with dyspnoea and chest pain. The latter also presents in acute coronary syndrome (ACS); thus, ACS is a common differential diagnosis for TTS. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic saw a drastic increase in mental health concerns which have persisted beyond this period. Further studies into personality disorders and their potential predisposition to COVID-19 and thus TTS would advance our understanding of the neuropsychiatric triggers of TTS. There is also a need for a single sensitive and specific diagnostic test for TTS as its diagnosis relies on the culmination of clinical presentation, echocardiography, cardiac catheterization, and cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR).

Published: August 2023

Aims

Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are used increasingly for patients with heart failure or chronic kidney disease to improve cardiac and renal outcomes. The use of these medications in patients with left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) is still limited and lacks evidence regarding the safety profile. In this study, we aimed to report our experience in treating 20 patients, supported by LVAD, with SGLT2 inhibitors.

Methods

We studied the safety profile of SGLT2 inhibitors (dapagliflozin and empagliflozin) in 20 patients (mean age 64.7 ± 12.2 years, 75% male) supported by LVAD as destination therapy. All patients have diabetes mellitus and were prescribed SGLT2 inhibitors for glycemic control.

Results

SGLT2 inhibitors were well tolerated with no major adverse events. Few suction events were reported in three patients without the need for pump speed adjustment. There was no change in mean arterial pressure (71.1 ± 5.6 vs. 70.1 ± 4.8 mmHg, P = 0.063). Modest decline in renal function was observed in six patients within the first weeks after drug initiation. There were no events of diabetic ketoacidosis or limb amputation.

Conclusion

SGLT2 inhibitors are safe in patients with LVAD and may potentially improve cardiovascular and renal outcomes in this special population.

Sixty maxillary premolar teeth extracted for orthodontic reasons were divided into two main groups according to the type of bracket (metal brackets n=30, 3D-printed brackets n=30) and further divided into two subgroups according to the type of adhesive (flowable composite, Tokuyama SuperLow; non-flowable composite; 3M Transbond XT). SBS and ARI score evaluations were conducted in the experimental and control subgroups (n=15). Statistical analysis was performed by a one-way analysis of variance, a post-hoc test, and Fisher’s exact test. Statistical significance was accepted as P < 0.05.

Results

The bond strength of the specimens was significantly affected by the type of composite and bracket type (P < 0.001). However, the SBS values were within or above the desired range for orthodontic treatment in all groups. The highest SBS value was obtained in the Metal Bracket-Transbond XT group (15.03 ± 6.66), while the lowest SBS value was observed in the 3D-Printed Bracket-Transbond XT group (7.91 ± 3.07). It was noted that of all materials evaluated, the most common non-enamel-damaging adhesive–cohesive fractures were in 3D-Printed Bracket Tokuyama SuperLow group (n=13).

Conclusions

It is recommended that 3D-printed orthodontic brackets have sufficient and acceptable SBS levels for clinical applications and bonding using non-flowable adhesives to produce high SBS values and using flowable adhesives generating high ARI scores.

El estudio de la dinámica forestal nos ayuda a ver las tendencias de los bosques hacia el futuro. En esta investigación se evaluó la dinámica forestal a partir de la mortalidad y el reclutamiento en dos parcelas permanentes ubicadas en bosques premontanos entre los 800 y 1500 msnm en la provincia de Satipo, en el departamento de Junín, en la Selva Central del Perú. La parcela Santa Teresa Bosque Primario Intervenido (P-SPI) localizada en un bosque primario registró una población inicial de 698 individuos arbóreos, fue remedida después de un periodo intercensal de 5 años, registrando 80 individuos muertos, 77 reclutas, con una población final de 695 árboles y presentó una tasa anual de mortalidad de 2,43% y una tasa anual de reclutamiento de 2,35%. Mientras que, la parcela Santa Teresa Bosque Secundario Tardío (P-SST) ubicada en un bosque secundario tardío presentó una población inicial de 832 árboles, fue remedida después de un periodo intercensal de 8 años, registrando 152 individuos muertos, 101 reclutas y una población final de 781 árboles, obteniendo una tasa anual de mortalidad de 2,52% y una tasa anual de reclutamiento de 1,73%. Los resultados indican que el bosque P-SPI se encuentra en equilibrio dinámico, mientras que P-SST presenta un moderado decrecimiento en su densidad arbórea. Las familias Euphorbiaceae, Urticaceae, Burseraceae y Moraceae presentaron los mayores niveles de reclutamiento entre ambos bosques. Mientras que, las especies forestales Senefeldera inclinata, Vochysia venulosa, Alchornea glandulosa, Clarisia biflora e Inga ruiziana por su reclutamiento y usos reportados deben ser consideradas en proyectos de restauración ecológica en el ámbito de estudio.

For many years, Prof. Dr. med. Max Geraedts, M. San., Head of the Institute for Health Services Research and Clinical Epidemiology of the Department of Medicine at the Philipps University of Marburg, has been conducting quality and patient safety-related health services research in the outpatient, inpatient and nursing sectors on the basis of primary and secondary data - primarily with the support of ministries, BMBF and with the help of the Innovation Fund. As an experienced researcher, he knows exactly what is possible on the one hand, but what would be possible on the other, if the necessary data were available. Monitor Versorgungsforschung‘ spoke with Prof. Geraedts, the congress president of the 22nd DKVF, about what the scientific community can expect from 4 to 6 October 2023.

When you talk to Marcus Quack, the DACH managing director of Revvity, and ask him what the few-month-old company actually does, he first has to take a deep breath. Previously, the company was still associated with PerkinElmer, whose applied, food and enterprise services were bought for almost 2.5 billion US dollars by the private equity company New Mountain Capital. The new scientific solutions company Revvity, on the other hand, continues to support pharmaceutical and biotech companies as well as diagnostics labs, universities and governments under a new name. ‚Monitor Versorgungsforschung‘ spoke with Marcus Quack about the company‘s rather lofty goals and a possible link to health services research.

Complex acute pain therapy is a therapeutic measure for special pain therapy and symptom control in patients with severe acute pain conditions. This severe acute pain can occur, for example, after operations, accidents or also with severe, exacerbated tumours. Complex acute pain therapy is coded using the operation and procedure code (OPS) 8-919 (DIMDI, 2023). In 2021, there were a total of more than 16.6 million hospital cases in Germany, and complex acute pain treatment was prescribed for more than 200,000 of these cases (InEK, 2023). Based on hospital diagnoses, it is known that there are regional differences in Germany for osteoporotic fractures as well as hospital deaths after femoral fracture and heart failure, among others (Möckel, 2022; Möckel et al., 2020, 2023; Wachter et al., 2015). A study by Hoffmann et al. (2020) was additionally able to show that there are regional differences in Germany in the prescription of the painkiller metamizole. In this analysis, the prevalence of use was lowest in Saxony with 7.0% and highest in Schleswig-Holstein with 11.1% (Hoffmann et al., 2020). It should also be noted here that between 1998 and 2008-2011, the use of painkillers in Germany increased from 19% to 21%. This increase is primarily due to over-the-counter painkillers (10.0% to 12.2%), whereas the use of prescription painkillers remained constant (Sarganas et al., 2015). In the study by Sarganas et al. (2015), females, increasing age, obese individuals and smokers showed the higher odds of using prescription painkillers. In contrast, higher socioeconomic status and more weekly physical activity were associated with lower odds (Sarganas et al., 2015).

An important area of health care is advance planning for medical emergencies, which can be regulated individually by precautionary documents. Precautionary documents such as living wills and powers of attorney can be drawn up by all people of full age and are very well known among the population, but are still little represented in the younger age groups (IfD Allensbach 2014). The topic is complex and addresses medical, ethical and legal aspects. There are also misconceptions about precautionary documents. This can contribute to fear of contact and prevent careful individual provision for an emergency. Even in samples where high prevalences of existing precautionary documents are found, uncertainties are cited with regard to their precise preparation and application (Elmeadawy et al. 2017). The internet is an increasingly important source of information for citizens on health issues.
