A. MICKIEWICZ’S CYCLE „THE CRIMEAN SONNETS” TRANSLATED BY O. ASTAFIEV: ARTISTIC TRANSLATION OF THE REALITIES
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko national University of Kyiv, Ivanchyk Oleksandra
Published: June 2023

The article highlights the specifics of the artistic translation of the realities in A. Mickiewicz’s cycle “The Crimean Sonnets” translated by O. Astafiev into Ukrainian language. The research is based on: Adam Mickiewicz’s poetic cycle “The Crimean Sonnets”; Ukrainian-language version of the cycle, included in the anthology “By another’s fire” (2020), other editions of translations of Polish literature classic into Ukrainian; theoretical researches of the polonists R. Radyshevsky, N. Sydiachenko and other scientists. A. Mickiewicz’s life experience during his trip to the Crimea led to the creation of the original cycle “The Crimean Sonnets”. The article briefly reveals the creative history of writing one of the pearls of the Polish artist’s poetic work, outlines the stages of translation strategies for reproducing the origin in the language of T. Shevchenko and I. Franko. The analysis of the translation is performed in the context of the syncretism of the work on the compositional and ideological-thematic levels. In general, the artistic construction of “The Crimean sonnets” is synthetic, because it combines a verbal image of the panorama of the Crimea peninsula, philosophical problems, local traditions, traveling plot, the confrontation between man of the East and the European traveler, the synthesis of literary genres. The ideological specifics and artistic design of the original work implies a significant number of realities related to the geography and culture of the Crimea. Realities are translated into Ukrainian by transliteration. In some cases, the translator offered the notes with explanations, both from the author of the sonnets and from the translator. We find translated author’s notes to geographical, religious, historical, everyday realities, which are transliterated by A. Mickiewicz into Polish. O. Astafiev’s translation also contains author’s notes and his own additional explanations. There are some cases when the translator bypasses the realities that are clear to the Ukrainian reader. In many fragments, the interpreter performed contextual translation and proposed a modulation method. The poetic translation of the Crimean Sonnets by O. Astafiev into Ukrainian identifies one of his most important interpretive principles: in order to create an adequate version of a foreign text, one must know all the works of the author of the original against the background of the era, know the history of the country, life and customs of the people, its culture.
AUTHOR‘S WORLDVISION OF LEOPOLD BUCHKOVSKY‘S IN THE NOVEL «WERTEPY»
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko national University of Kyiv, Mishchuk Iryna
Published: June 2023

The article reveals the features of the “dialogic” creative method of the Polish writer Leopold Buchkowski, which was formed under the influence of the polyethnic environment in the region of the Polish-Ukrainian cultural border. In the novel “Wertepy” the writer creates a polyphonic image of a “small motherland”, in which each Other is a representative of another nationality and has his own voice, which is not a subject to the author’s speech, and the dialectic of “native” and “foreign” is devoid of ethnocentric motivation and is expressed in an opposition of “local” - “non-local”. It is noted that the artistic world of Leopold Buchkovsky, which was perceived by the artist as a multinational mosaic and to which he gave his own meanings, has been completely destroyed. It is pointed out that the characteristic feature of Leopold Buchkovsky’s artistic method is the versatility and ambiguity of the ethnocultural model of the art world, which results in different reading and a wide range of interpretations of the presented material. It is noted that his works are constructed in such a way that “the reader does not always have to perceive the world according to the author’s intentions”, on the contrary, he has the opportunity to “endow it with his own hypothetical structure, see in it what he considers important and valuable.” It is stipulated that the leading themes and dominant problems of Leopold Buchkovsky’s prose are extremely philosophical and universal issues of dramatization of the fluidity of the world, ephemerality of thinking, visions, inner states, and finally memory. It is stipulated that the author’s principle determines the specificity, uniqueness and originality of the work, begins with the author’s personality, which is the semantic foundation of literature. It is noted that in L. Buchkovsky’s “Wertepy” a certain plot sequence is preserved, it is possible to notice the lack of integrity of the presented images. It is stated that the space presented in the work, in which events unfold, is always clearly defined and limited by certain frameworks. It is pointed out that the space of Leopold Buchkovsky’s work, despite its anthropocentrism and secondary nature, is marked by extraordinary picturesqueness and sensuality, which have nothing to do with artistic decoration.

Authors: Gök İsmail , Şahin Mustafa , Tolun Tolga
Published: June 2023

The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between the influencing factors in the data set created with the help of canonical correlation in the factors affecting the purchase or sale of agricultural lands in certain neighborhoods in the Dulkadiroğlu district of Kahramanmaraş province and the most effective factor or factors compared to the others. For this, a survey was conducted with the parcel owners in the determined neighborhoods and a data set of 1000 people was created. As a result of the data obtained, the first data set of the study, in which the canonical correlation method was used, was the slope and irrigation status of the land, the average productivity rate of the land, and the presence of tractors and equipment used in the land, among the factors affecting the purchase or sale of agricultural lands; land parcel size, land purchase or sale price and for what purpose the land was bought or sold were also the second data set. The rate of canonical correlation coefficient in the data sets created according to the estimation results was found to be 40.32%. In the data set we compared, the average productivity of the land was determined in the first data set with the highest effect, while in the second data set it was determined as the purpose for which the land was bought or sold
Investigation of The Antiproliferative Effect of Colchicine on SNU-1 Gastric Cancer Cells
Authors: Yulak Fatih
Published: June 2023

In this study, colchicine's cytotoxic effects on SNU-1 cells were examined, and a probable mechanism behind its cytotoxicity was revealed. According to the results of the study, colchicine displayed considerable cytotoxicity with an IC50 value of 14.81ng/ml when it was administered to the cells for 24 hours at different doses ranging from 5 to 100ng/ml. Furthermore, according to mechanistic studies, usege of colchicine significantly increased both early and late apoptotic cells in flow cytometry experiments. The late apoptotic cell population percentage in the control group (5.14 ± 1.27%) dramatically increased to 22.83 ± 1.38% in 14.81ng/ml colchicine treated cells. The early apoptotic cell population percentage in the control group (2.00 ± 1.12%) increased to 6.57 ± 2.35% in 14.81ng/ml colchicine treated cells. ELISA method was used to evaluate how colchicine affects the expression of pro- and anti-apoptotic proteins in SNU-1 cells. Colchicine treatment increased pro-apoptotic Bax and cleaved caspase 3 activities, while anti-apoptotic BCL-2 levels decreased. It is concluded that colchicine increases apoptosis in SNU-1 cells, which leads to an overall increase in cell death. Colchicine's promise as an anticancer drug to treat stomach cancer, however, needs additional research to be determined.
Numerical Simulation of Episodic Aseismic Slip Events as Incomplete Nucleation of Seismic Slip Due to Heterogeneous Stress Distribution
Authors: Kato Naoyuki
Published: June 2023

Shear stress concentration at the deeper edge of a locked fault affects detachment of the fault, such as upward propagation of aseismic sliding, episodic aseismic slip events, and partial seismic rupture. Numerical simulations of earthquake cycles on a strike-slip fault were conducted using a rate- and state-dependent friction law to investigate the occurrence conditions of episodic aseismic slip events within a fault having uniform velocity-weakening friction. When the velocity-weakening zone is much wider than the critical nucleation zone size, a rupture that seismically or aseismically breaks a part of the velocity-weakening zone occurs during the interseismic period between large earthquakes. The partial seismic rupture results in a small earthquake, and the partial slow rupture results in an episodic aseismic slip event. The seismic or aseismic rupture is arrested in a low-shear-stress area, which is caused by the preceding large earthquake. The episodic aseismic slip events may be regarded as incomplete nucleation of an earthquake, because the rupture is arrested before acceleration to seismic slip, and this process may explain episodic aseismic slip events at seismogenic depths. The width of the area of preseismic sliding immediately before a simulated large earthquake is similar to that of episodic aseismic slip.

Published: June 2023

Health, as one of the pillars of a nation's development, has an important role. This is in line with the understanding of the World Health Organization that there are 12 public health indicators as proxies for health indicators in the Sustainable Development Goals. However, in Karanganyar Regency, the typography is located on the slopes of Mount Lawu, and most of them are rural areas, resulting in an uneven distribution of health workers and health service facilities. Therefore, this study aims to determine the distribution of health workers in Karanganyar Regency so that it can be a concern in formulating policies regarding the distribution of health workers in urban and rural areas. This study uses secondary data collected from the 2022 Karanganyar Regency Health Human Resource Information System data and the 2022 Karanganyar Regency Health Office Health Profile data. From the analysis results, it is known that the ideal distribution of health workers in Karanganyar Regency is based on the national ratio and is still concentrated around the district government and areas close to urban areas.

El universo virtual dónde cada día trasladamos más actividades cotidianas, aparentemente deslocalizado por los procesos globales de digitalización, paradójicamente requiere de una infraestructura física que genera gran impacto regional al consumir grandes cantidades de energía, recursos y territorio. En el presente artículo se cuestiona si los centros de datos, paradigma arquitectónico industrial de las TIC, favorecen nuevos ensamblajes sociotécnicos con su medio asociado en torno a procesos de reciclaje y aprovechamiento energético en una relación recursiva que expande la semántica tradicional del regionalismo arquitectónico.

Authors: Vieites Tania
Published: June 2023

Los niños y jóvenes pasan la mayor parte de su tiempo en el contexto escolar en compañía de sus iguales. Por este motivo, los centros escolares deben conocer las herramientas necesarias para enseñar y promover la convivencia e integrar esa enseñanza en el resto de las actividades del centro de forma programada y sistemática. Para ello, los centros deben primero definir las competencias que el alumnado necesita para aprender a relacionarse adecuadamente. La convivencia restaurativa enseña a aprender de los conflictos y a convivir en armonía, así como a unir grupos, resolver desacuerdos, comunicarse eficazmente y construir comunidad a través del diálogo.

Published: June 2023

Há evidências de que a prática de Mindfulness está associada com Funções Executivas e pode estimular habilidades socioemocionais na infância. Apesar dos benefícios potenciais, no Brasil ainda são poucos os programas estruturados que podem ser incorporados em ambiente escolar. Foi objetivo do presente estudo realizar a adaptação cultural do Kindness Curriculum for Preschoolers, programa baseado em mindfulness delineado para aprimorar habilidades socioemocionais em pré-escolares, para uso em escolas brasileiras. Para tanto, as lições do programa original foram traduzidas e adaptadas para o português do Brasil. Em seguida, em um estudo piloto, a intervenção foi implementada em uma escola pública com a participação de 19 crianças entre 5 e 6 anos de idade, seus responsáveis e professoras. Aspectos da viabilidade foram investigados com base em análises qualitativas de relatos verbais registrados em reuniões com as professoras. Possíveis efeitos em habilidades de regulação emocional, empatia, controle inibitório e teoria da mente foram analisados por meio de avaliação neuropsicológica e comportamental das crianças, realizada antes e após a intervenção. Os resultados revelaram indicadores de adequada viabilidade da versão adaptada, bem como melhora em medidas de comportamento empático e controle inibitório. Estudos futuros, como ensaios clínicos, serão necessários para melhor investigação da eficácia do programa.
Intenção e Atitudes de estudantes universitários/as brasileiros/as face à vacina COVID-19
Authors: Alves Regina , Oliveira Kelvin , Precioso José
Published: June 2023

A vacinação é uma importante medida preventiva para reduzir a pandemia da COVID-19 e o seu impacto em termos de morbilidade, mortalidade e hospitalizações. Para além disso, pode representar uma importante estratégia para o retorno à "normalidade" nos campus universitários. O presente estudo analisa as atitudes face à vacina COVID-19 e sua relação com a intenção de receber a vacina COVID-19 em estudantes universitários/as. Um estudo transversal foi realizado em março de 2021 com uma amostra por conveniência de 238 estudantes matriculados/as numa Instituição de Ensino Superior brasileira. Os dados para o estudo foram coletados por meio de um questionário online composto por informações sobre dados sociodemográficos, uma escala de atitudes e crenças sobre a vacina COVID-19 e uma pergunta sobre a intenção de receber a vacina COVID-19. Os/As estudantes que mostraram atitudes gerais mais positivas em relação à vacinação e crenças mais fracas de que a vacinação causaria efeitos adversos ou seria insegura foram considerados mais propensos a aceitar a vacina contra a COVID-19. Este tipo de informação é essencial para que as universidades invistam em campanhas para desmistificar as ideias erradas sobre os efeitos secundários da vacina.
Digitalización del Sector de la Consultoría: impulsores y facilitadores internos y externos
Authors: Brazo Pedro , Velicia-Martín Felix , Palos-Sanchez Pedro R
Published: June 2023

Literature has conventionally addressed the concept of Digitalization by focusing on the manufacturing industry, harmonizing and pairing its features with the service industry. This leads us to ask ourselves whether there is a single concept of digitalization or the digital transformation of the firm can vary depending on sales orientation. To answer our problem statement and research questions, we used a systematic literature review (SLR) and bibliometric analysis (BA) of digitalization to identify the most relevant articles on the subject. After analyzing a set of 1316 articles extracted from Scopus, EBSCO, PROQUEST, and the Web of Science databases, we found that the process of digitalization of a company should be studied differently depending on its underlying sector or activity. We also found that digital transformation in the consulting business has been facilitated and boosted by internal and external drivers that resulted in a change in the service digitalization paradigm in this sector, going from cost-saving strategies to value-added chains.
Eventos informativos sobre COVID-19 y su efecto en índices bursátiles. Una revisión de la evidencia empírica
Authors: Reimer Guillermina , Briozzo Anahí , Capobianco Guillermo
Published: June 2023

Este artículo sistematizó los estudios empíricos sobre efectos, de distintos eventos relacionados con la pandemia por COVID-19, en índices bursátiles. Se identificaron dos marcos conceptuales: eficiencia del mercado de capitales y finanzas conductuales. La revisión de la literatura, con una instancia de tipo sistemática y otra complementaria de naturaleza narrativa, mostró que los eventos informativos fueron sanitarios (anuncios de la Organización Mundial de la Salud, evolución de la pandemia, vacunas) y no sanitarios (medidas gubernamentales). El análisis concluye que, respecto a los índices bursátiles, el avance de la pandemia tuvo un efecto inicial negativo en los rendimientos, y positivo en la volatilidad. La comparación entre economías desarrolladas y emergentes indica que las repercusiones de las noticias son desiguales.
О НЕКОТОРЫХ ОСОБЕННОСТЯХ РЕАЛИЗАЦИИ СОЦИАЛЬНОЙ ПОЛИТИКИ В БУРАССР В 1980-Х ГГ.
Authors:   Бурятский государственный университет имени Доржи Банзарова, Ю. В. Наквасина
Published: June 2023

В статье рассматриваются основные направления социальной политики в области охраны материнства и детства. Еще с 1960-х гг. наметилась тенденция к снижению уровня рождаемости и складывание семьи с двумя детьми. В конце 1970-х — начале 1980-х гг. это побудило Советскую власть вернуться к решению вопросов демографии впервые со времен первых послевоенных лет и окончательно оформить в систему помощи и поддержки матерей. Система была введена через ряд постанов-ений и выражалась в виде новых пособий, отпусков по уходу за ребенком, изменений в графике работы, а также в создании сети детских учреждений, которые осуществляли заботу о здоровье и воспитании подрастающего поколения. Данные изменения привели к временному подъему рождаемости, который впоследствии был нивелирован социально-экономическими изменениями в стране.
МИФОПОЭТИЧЕСКОЕ СОДЕРЖАНИЕ НАЦИОНАЛЬНЫХ ОБРАЗОВ В ТУВИНСКОЙ И БУРЯТСКОЙ ДРАМАТУРГИИ
Authors:   Бурятский государственный университет имени Доржи Банзарова, С. С. Имихелова , А. Х. Херел ,   Институт развития национальной школы (Республика Тыва)
Published: June 2023

В статье рассматриваются в сравнительно-сопоставительном аспекте особенности мифопоэтической образности в произведениях тувинских и бурятских драматургов. Выделены образы матери, воина, коня, в неповторимом и самобытном облике которых выявлен вечный, сакральный смысл. Подчеркивается универсальный смысл материнского архетипа как хранительницы домашнего очага на разных этапах тувинской и бурятской драматургии. Утверждается, что женские образы представляют собой поэтическую переработку эпических сказаний, в которых образы матери или сестры героя-богатыря обладают силой женщины-воительницы небесного происхождения. С опорой на сложившуюся фольклорную традицию анализируются образы воина и его помощника — коня, в изображении которых подчеркнута роль чудесных сверхъестественных сил. Делается вывод о репрезентации образов-архетипов как отражении стремления народов к национальному самоопределению, о межкультурном диалоге, вызванном единым контекстом эволюционного развития двух национальных литератур.
В ПОИСКАХ РУССКОГО НАЦИОНАЛЬНОГО ЭПОСА: ЗАМЕТКА О БОГАТЫРСКИХ ПОЭМАХ РУБЕЖА XVIII‒XIX вв.
Authors:   Уральский федеральный университет, М. С. Яклюшина
Published: June 2023

В статье рассматриваются отдельные аспекты поэтики богатырских поэм рубежа XVIII‒XIX вв., в частности поэм «Илья Муромец» Н. М. Карамзина, «Альоша Попович», «Чурила Пленкович» Н. А. Радищева и «Бахарияна» М. М. Хе-раскова. С помощью методов культурно-исторического и сравнительного анализа мы подчеркиваем несколько элементов, указывающих на жанровые поиски и эксперименты авторов. Подробно отмечены два аспекта: различия в воззвании «к музе», с которого начинаются все поэмы, и различия в описании главного героя, богатыря. Мы видим, что обращения к «не-музе» в каждом из произведений одновременно и связывают их с традициями эпической поэмы, и декларируют отрицание элементов поэтики уходящего века. Описание главного героя разнится в поэмах: перед читателем может предстать как образ европейского рыцаря в латах, так и русского витязя с деревянной палицей. В зависимости от поставленных акцентов в образе делаются вы-воды о собственных приоритетах автора в поэтических экспериментах.
ОБРАЗЫ МИФИЧЕСКИХ ПТИЦ В СОВРЕМЕННОЙ РУССКОЙ ПРОЗЕ (Т. ТОЛСТАЯ «СВИДАНИЕ С ПТИЦЕЙ», Е. НЕКРАСОВА «СЕСТРОМАМ»)
Authors:   Иркутский государственный университет, Ю. М. Брюханова
Published: June 2023

В статье рассматриваются образы мифических птиц, которые, попадая в пространство авторского художественного текста, претерпевают ряд изменений. Изображение птиц Сирин и Алконост в рассказе Татьяны Толстой «Свидание с птицей» и птицы Гамаюн в рассказе Евгении Некрасовой «Сестромам» отражает тенденцию использования отдельных мифологических элементов в современной русской литературе, которая диктуется не попыткой выстроить целостную картину мира, ориентируясь на коллективное сознание, а стремлением разрешить вопросы личностного самоопределения или проживания травмы. В «Свидании с птицей» мифологический образ встраивается в мировосприятие главного героя — мальчика, чье детское сознание легко и свободно объединяет сказку с реальностью. В рассказе «Сестромам» появление мифического персонажа — результат внутреннего непроговоренного чувства вины главной героини. Так, в обоих рассказах подчеркивается, что трансформация образов мифических существ отражает частичное, локальное обращение к мифологи-ческой картине мира без апелляции к ее полноте и системности. В таком субъективно-индивидуальном варианте мифические элементы выполняют функцию дополнения образов главных героев и актуализируют возможности разрешения «личного» конфликта.
«СВОЕ» И «ЧУЖОЕ» В «ИСТОРИЧЕСКОМ ФЭНТЕЗИ» А. ИВАНОВА: ДИХОТОМИЯ ИЛИ ДУАЛИЗМ НАЦИОНАЛЬНОЙ КУЛЬТУРЫ?
Authors:   Иркутский государственный университет, М. Л. Штуккерт
Published: June 2023

Статья посвящена проблеме диалога культур в историческом метатексте А. Иванова («Сердце пармы», «Тобол» и ряд других романов). Специфика взаимодействия «своего» и «чужого» определяет природу национального начала, которое раскрывается в историософской идее вечного становления и пафосе освоения. Витальная сила национального бытия подчеркивается жанровой формой: при всей их синтетичности исторические нарративы А. Иванова тяготеют к героике и масштабности эпоса. Это обусловливает ряд сюжетных мотивов и специфику конфликта, но также задает способ поиска единства национального начала. Единение разных народов, создающих национальную общность, — процесс, идущий извне, не зависящий от воли от-дельных людей и даже правителей, обладающий метафизической природой. Создаваемая при этом мозаичная картина мира своей дробностью и эклектикой напоминает раннее средневековье с его героическими эпосами и пафосом рождения нового мира.

Published: June 2023

Developing students' scientific thinking in aqeedah and akhlaq (moral theology) is urgent, and a project-based learning method is needed for that process. This study explores how teachers can experience their Islamic behavior with their identities and impact project-based learning methods in learning moral theology in madrasah aliyah (Islamic high schools). This study uses a phenomenological approach to explore the Islamic behavior and identity of teachers in madrasah aliyah in developing project-based learning methods. A total of 20  moral theology teachers are involved in this study, and in-depth interviews are conducted to uncover the narratives of teachers' practices in utilizing project-based learning methods. The thematic analysis of two-group interviews with 20 teachers showed that Islamic behavior teachers' personal beliefs provided a religiously motivated narrative framework that facilitated interpreting one's experiences. Islamic behavior and teacher identity play a role in developing project-based learning methods based on moral theology. Islamic behavior is the main bond in developing project-based learning methods and the attribution of identity from God-given personality to learning in moral theology. Teacher identity, Islamic behavior, and students' scientific thinking develop when learning moral theology. Islamic behavior and the personal identity of madrasah teachers can improve project-based learning methods

Published: June 2023

Background: Mucormycosis is an angio-invasive fungal infection with high morbidity and mortality.  This infection seems to be increasing during the second wave of COVID-19. Objectives of this study were to identify and characterise the fungal species causing post-covid-mycosis, to analyze the cases for underlying co-morbidities if any and to correlate the associated risk factors with the progression of disease.
Methods: Prospective observational study which constituted conventional fungal culture of 188 tissue specimens collected from clinically suspected mucormycosis patients who had history of COVID.
Results: This study noted the occurrence of disease with predominance of males (72.03%). Most common symptoms were facial/periorbital swelling, followed by facial pain and headache. Among co-morbid conditions, diabetes mellitus was the most common (71.17%). Use of steroids (65.25%), antivirals therapy (22.86%), oxygen support (11.86%) used in management of COVID patients were found to be risk factors in post-covid-mucormycosis. radiological diagnosis showed involvement of paranasal sinuses (77.11%), followed by orbit (16.94%) and brain (5.90%). Mucor spp. was isolated in 21 cases. Although commonest fungus isolated was Aspergillus, analysis of the data for last 5 years showed a significant rise of Mucormycosis cases. Mortality was seen in 17.79% cases.
Conclusions: Fungal aetiology should be kept in mind in patients with above clinical presentations with history of recent COVID-19 infection especially who received steroids.
Comparison of early versus delayed enteral feeding following surgical treatment of gastrointestinal perforations
Authors: D. Rakshitha , Pingali Sri Hari Karthik Ram , D. N. Aman
Published: June 2023

Background: This study aimed to compare the outcomes of early versus delayed enteral feeding in patients who underwent surgical management of gut perforations.
Methods: The study included 80 patients who were divided into two groups: the early enteral feeding group (n=40) and the delayed enteral feeding group (n=40). The study evaluated several variables, including age, sex, diagnosis, type of operation, tolerance to feeding, paralytic ileus, serum albumin levels, wound infection, anastomotic leakage, and duration of hospital stay.
Results: The results showed that the early enteral feeding group had a significantly shorter duration of hospital stay than the delayed enteral feeding group (p=0.009). Additionally, the early enteral feeding group had a lower incidence of wound infection (p=0.041) compared to the delayed enteral feeding group. However, there were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of tolerance to feeding, paralytic ileus, anastomotic leakage, or diagnosis. Furthermore, the study found that serum albumin levels on day 4 and day 6 postoperatively were significantly higher in the early enteral feeding group compared to the delayed enteral feeding group. This finding suggests that early enteral feeding may improve nutritional status and promote faster wound healing.
Conclusions: In conclusion, the results of this study suggest that early enteral feeding may be beneficial for patients who underwent surgical management of gut perforations. Early enteral feeding was associated with a shorter duration of hospital stay, a lower incidence of wound infection, and improved nutritional status compared to delayed enteral feeding.

Background: Blood culture is widely accepted as the gold standard investigation for the diagnosis of blood stream infections (BSI). The number of blood cultures collected has a considerable impact on the organism isolation. This study aims to optimize the number of blood cultures needed, for an optimal diagnostic yield in BacT/ALERT VIRTUO system mainly in a resource limited setting.
Methods: All the blood cultures (BCs) obtained in BacT/Alert bottles per patient during a 24-h period were included as ‘one episode’ and categorized as single bottle, 1-set (2 aerobic bottles), 2 sets and 3 sets. BC bottles were incubated in the BacT/ALERT VIRTUO (bioMérieux) for a period of five days. Bottles flagged positive were subjected to Gram staining and culture plating. Colonies grown were identified by MALDI-TOF MS, VITEK MS, bioMérieux.
Results: Cumulative positivity rate increased (21.7%, 41.4%, 56.1%, 60.6%) and pathogen isolation rate increased (10.3%, 21.8%, 30.4% and 33.8%) progressively when collected in single bottle, 1, 2 and 3 sets respectively. The pathogen detection rate for GNB and GPC were 45.1% and 42.6% respectively with one bottle and this got upsurged to 85.6% and 98.9% for GNB and 83.6% and 98.2% for GPC when collected in ≤1 set and ≤2 sets respectively.
Conclusions: Two BC sets over a 24-h period can detect approximately 98% of the pathogens with a cumulative positivity rate of 60% and hence it is a justifiable alternative approach to the standard practice of 3-sets of BCs.

Statin-induced necrotizing autoimmune myopathy is an immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy related to the use of statins. It is a very rare disease, which usually presents with proximal muscle weakness and frank elevation in creatine kinase levels. Stopping statin and the use of immunosuppressive therapy are considered the mainstay therapy. Herein, we present a case of a 75-year-old patient with statin-induced myopathy based on the presence of proximal muscle weakness, magnetic resonance findings. The patient was treated with IVIg and corticosteroid therapy with a particularly good response to intravenous immunoglobulin. However, medications are accompanied by the not so friendly adverse events. Through this report we highlight the importance of understanding. This report highlights the importance of timely diagnosis and early use of combined immunosuppressive therapy to improve patients' outcome affected by this rare disease.

These days pathologies related to liver are increasing due to one or other factors. Here, we review a case of a girl with Budd Chiari syndrome (BCS), which is due to obstruction of hepatic veins, in turn causing portal hypertension. The pathology of the syndrome includes hepatic venous outflow tract obstruction due to thrombosis along the vein. This in turn leads to portal hypertension and increased pressure in the inferior vena cava (IVC). Clinically, it affects the heart, liver, esophagus, rectum, superficial skin. Early diagnosis can be done by Doppler and liver biopsy to prevent chronic complications of hepatic fibrosis and cirrhosis. The patient was a 13-year-old girl who had abdominal distension, pedal edema, discoloured and decreased urine and fever. On examining the patient, we found out stunted linear and intellectual growth as per her age, low IQ and communication deficits. On ultrasonography, a nodular liver surface with rounded edges and hypoechoic nodules within the parenchyma were seen. Biochemical investigations showed increase in liver enzymes. Also, there was free fluid in abdomen, few anechoic channels in periumbilical and perisplenic regions showing color flow on Doppler. Ascitic tap showed a high total cell count with a lymphocytic predominance. Based on history by the patient, radiological findings, Ascitic tap and biochemical investigations we have come to the conclusion that this is a case of BCS. After being admitted, we gave antibiotics, diuretic, folic acid, albumin, lactulose. Patient was discharged on propanolol as prophylaxis for portal hypertension.

Hypertrophic pachymeningitis (HP) is a rare form of diffuse inflammatory disease that causes thickening of the dura mater. It can involve the cranial or the spinal dura or both. An increasingly well-known symptom of IgG4-related illness, a fibroinflammatory syndrome that may affect almost any organ, is IgG4-related hypertrophic pachymeningitis (IgG4-RHP). It is estimated that IgG4-RHP may account for a high proportion of cases of hypertrophic pachymeningitis once considered idiopathic. Contrast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) shows pachymeningeal enhancement. Serum IgG4 levels may be elevated but are normal in most patients. However, most patients have elevated cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) IgG4 index. Hence, CSF IgG4 index could serve as a less invasive diagnostic marker of IgG4-RHP. Confirmation of diagnosis is by meningeal biopsy that shows swirling “storiform” fibrosis with lymphocytic infiltrates, obliterate phlebitis and IgG4 positive plasma cells. This case highlights the diagnostic dilemma of IgG4-RHP as gold standard of diagnosis is meningeal biopsy which has many of its own limitations. CSF IgG4 index could be an alternate option for meningeal biopsy when the procedure is contraindicated or uninformative.
Current treatment options for allergic rhinitis: a review
Authors: Swain Santosh Kumar , Singh Vasudha
Published: June 2023

Allergic rhinitis (AR) is an immunoglobulin E-mediated inflammatory reaction in the nasal mucosa caused by inhaled allergens such as dust, pollen, mold, or animal dander. AR is a common chronic disease that is often ignored, misdiagnosed, and/or mistreated. Clinically, AR is characterized by four major symptoms such as rhinorrhea, sneezing, nasal itching, and nasal congestion. It can be associated with certain co-morbid conditions like asthma and nasal polyposis. AR is diagnosed by taking proper history taking, nasal examination, and allergy tests. A proper understanding of the pathophysiology of AR can lead to improved treatment of this disorder. The treatment for AR should target symptoms to improve the quality of life for patients. Undertreatment of AR often impairs quality of life. The important concern in the treatment of AR is the patient’s adherence to the treatment. Novel treatments are needed for cheaper, early, better, and more permanent symptom resolution in AR. Evidence-based guidelines for AR treatment are helpful to improve disease control. The treatment of AR includes avoidance of relevant allergens, appropriate pharmacotherapy, immunotherapy, patient education, and follow-up. Intranasal corticosteroids are the most effective modality of treatment for AR. This review article discusses details of current treatment options for AR.

Published: June 2023

Background: Hamstring injuries amongst runners are some of the most prevalent sports injuries. However, the actual impact of these injuries on athlete’s best performance pre-injury is unknown. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of hamstring injury on athletes’ performance at return to sport phase of rehabilitation amongst track runners in Western Kenya.
Methods: Observational longitudinal study utilizing quantitative methods were used. The study setting was in the high-altitude western Kenya regions with accredited training camps. The functional assessment scale for hamstring injuries (FASH) was used to screen injuries and an observational checklist to record the conventional rehabilitation strategies. A moderator effect analysis for the variables was conducted followed by a multi-linear regression analysis to establish the effect of injury on performance. The results were presented in summary tables and graphs.
Results: A total of 221 (53% response rate) athletes participated in the study as having a hamstring injury. The study found that athletes took more time after injury compared to their personal best and before injury time records. The average best time for full marathoners was 2:17:19.46 (SD±0:10:54.804), before injury 2:18:05.36 (SD±0:11:06.879) and after injury 2:22:12.02 (SD±0:12:45.174).
Conclusions: The study concludes that the prevalence of hamstring injuries among endurance runners in Kenya’s Rift Valley region is still so high. The paper recommends emphasis on extensive strength training before return to sport to address deficits in muscle and eccentric strength on return to sport.

Conclusions: Dental caries and periodontitis were the two main reasons for extraction of teeth in Corona pandemic times.
Prevalence and prediction of occupational morbidities among male migrant workers in textile industries in Surat, India: a cross-sectional study
Authors: Maurya Bharati
Published: June 2023

Background: In the textile industry, male migrant workers from other Indian states predominate. Workers are more vulnerable to occupational hazards due to poor working conditions, such as long hours and workplace annoyances. These include noise, high temperatures, humidity, chemical fumes, and cotton or synthetic dust, which harm their health. This study investigated the morbidity patterns of textile migrant workers in Surat.
Methods: From April to November 2017, cross-sectional research was conducted in three blocks, utilizing multistage stratified cluster sampling to survey 348 TMWs. A pre-tested and pre-designed structured questionnaire was developed to collect data on three types of textile units: yarn, weaving, and processing. A bivariate and binary logistic regression examined the relationship between the self-reported prevalence of occupational morbidities (outcome variables) and occupation-related factors (predictor variables).
Results: Occupational morbidities affect 95% of workers. Self-reported morbidities include musculoskeletal morbidities (72.7%), respiratory morbidities (21.9%), ophthalmic morbidities (27.6%), skin morbidities (23.9%), and ENT problems (18.4%). Those working in weaving manufacturing units are 10% more likely to have ocular disorders (P<0.05). Those who engage in printing and dyeing processing units have a 27% higher chance of developing respiratory morbidities (P<0.05).
Conclusions: The prevalence of occupational morbidity is significantly higher among textile workers. The hazardous risk factors responsible for these morbidities can be mitigated by improving working conditions and implementing suitable protective measures for textile workers. Intervention initiatives are required to address textile workers’ health concerns.
