IMMUNOHISTOCHEMICAL EVALUATION OF P16 AND Ki67 IN PREMALIGNANT AND MALIGNANT LESIONS OF ORAL CAVITY
Authors: Uz Zama Qamar , Agarwal Pooja , Goel Aparajita , Pratap Singh Akhil , Saxena Prachi
Published: December 2024

Introduction: Oral cancer is one of the top three types of cancer in the India. Cell cycle protein P16 along with
proliferation marker Ki67 provide significant assistance in grading OSCC. Ki67 marker also used to determine the
tumor behavior, prognosis which plays a major role in deciding the treatment modalities. AIM: Immunohistochemical evaluation of p16 and
ki67 in premalignant and malignant lesions of oral cavity. The cross-sectional study was conducted Material and Method: in the Department of
Pathology in collaboration with the Department of ENT at Sarojini Naidu Medical College, Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India over a period of 18 months
from September 2022 to May 2024. A total 155 histopathologically diagnosed cases were included out of which 23 cases were premalignant and
132 cases were malignant. Post operative specimens were fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin. The initial diagnosis was made by
Haematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) stained tissue sections. Sections from the same block were subjected to IHC Staining antibody to p16 and ki67
antigen. The data was entered into Microsoft Excel 2016 and analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) statistical software
version 23. The inferential statistics included the use of the Chi-square test. Results: It was observed that p16 immunoexpression increased with
increase in histological grades. We observed that percentage of cases were inversely proportional to the immunohistochemical grading .We
observed that Ki-67 immunoexpression was more in malignant cases than premalignant. Conclusion: Higher histological grades indicate higher
P16 and Ki67 expression while they were not associated with age, gender and site of lesion. Dual positivity is higher among PDSCC cases
(66.67%) followed by MDSCC cases (50.0%), also shows the staining intensity of Grade 2 further showing the higher invasiveness when follow
up clinically. P16 is widely used as a surrogate biomarker for HPV infection and its expression is the most important immunohistochemical
marker to differentiate HPV negative and HPV positive OSCC for better management of patients. Ki-67 antigen is a proliferative marker used to
determine the tumor behavior, prognosis which plays a major role in deciding the treatment modalities. Thus investigation of IHC marker panels
with clinicopathological parameters can be helpful for better assessment of patients with Oral premalignant and malignant lesions.

ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION IN MIDDLE-AGED OBESE MALE : A CASE STUDY
Authors: Sharma Rajkumar
Published: December 2024

Erectile dysfunction (ED), a prevalent medical condition, is characterized by the inability to achieve and sustain a
satisfactory penile erection. It is intimately associated with obesity and cardiovascular health. This scholarly article
delves into the intricate relationship between obesity and ED, focusing on the underlying mechanisms involving oxidative stress, inflammation,
and insulin and leptin resistance, which contribute to the development of both conditions. Comprehending the link between obesity and ED
assumes paramount importance, given the global public health concern surrounding obesity. ED not only impairs physical abilities but also exerts
significant psychological and emotional consequences. It can instigate anxiety, depression, diminished self-esteem, and strained interpersonal
relationships for both affected individuals and their partners. Notably, few studies have systematically investigated a prevalent population of
young nondiabetic obese men, who may potentially derive considerable benefit from early assessment for ED, considering the short- and longterm ramifications of this condition. This research endeavors to enhance our comprehension of the intricate interplay between obesity and ED, as
well as propose integrated treatment modalities to enhance management. By presenting a detailed case study of a middle-aged obese male
grappling with ED, it furnishes invaluable insights for healthcare professionals confronted with similar scenarios.

Published: December 2024

Background: Periorbital melanosis, is a multifactorial condition affecting both genders of all ages. Though there is a
platter of treatment options , often patients are left dissatisfied. This study compares 20% glycolic acid peel with 30%
lactic acid peel pertaining to response and side effect profile . The aim of this study was to assess Aims & Objectives: the outcome of 20%
glycolic acid versus 30% lactic acid peel in periorbital melanosis among patients above 18 years and below 60 years attending the dermatology
out-patient department. This was a cross-sectional study conducted in the Skin Outpatient Department Materials & Methods: (OPD) of a
tertiary care hospital on patients clinically diagnosed with periorbital melanosis, aged between 18 and 60 years. The sample size for the study was
126 patients selected through purposive sampling, and the patient were randomly divided into two groups (one group underwent 20% glycolic
acid (GA) peel (Gr-G), while the other group underwent 30% lactic acid (LA) peel (Gr -L)), with 63 patients in each group. Both groups
underwent 6 sittings at 2-week intervals, with respective agents. Based on the findings in our study Results: , the inference was that 30% lactic
acid was better for treating periorbital melanosis than 20% glycolic acid and this could be attributed to minor smoothening out of wrinkles
secondary to the moisturizing effect of lactic acid, in addition to the regular periodic reduction of the periorbital melanosis and minimal side
effects. Periorbital melanosis is an important cosmetic concern and remains one of the difficult case Conclusion: s to treat in dermatology. The
authors through this study hope to shed light on the effects of chemical peeling using glycolic acid and lactic acid and the feasibility of these
options among the armamentarium of treatment options already available for periorbital melanosis.

The need for energy conservation has become increasingly urgent in today's world, especially as energy costs continue to rise and the demand for sustainable living grows. For persons with physical disabilities, simple tasks like turning light switches on and off can be challenging, resulting in higher energy usage, increased electricity bills, and increased physical strain. Existing solutions often prioritize energy efficiency but overlook affordability and accessibility, making them impractical for low-income households. To address these issues, this paper proposes an affordable automated energy-saving lighting switch control system using Arduino Uno, ultrasonic sensors for human presence detection, and a relay to control lighting. A person-counter mechanism ensures accurate operation based on room occupancy. Experimental results shows that the proposed system achieves 100% accuracy in detecting human presence in a room, effectively reducing energy consumption from 0.4 kWh to 0.2 kWh per day, which corresponds to 50% energy savings. Additionally, it is 42.41% less expensive than the most affordable system compared in the paper. These findings underscore the system’s potential to offer an affordable, accessible, and energy-efficient solution that enhances the convenience and comfort of disabled persons while contributing to energy conservation efforts.
Denaro, cultura, bellezza

The history of the Botti is both family biography and an account of a Florentine company that was present on the most important economic markets of the first half of the sixteenth century (Florence, Pisa, Cádiz, Seville, Venice, Valladolid, Rome, Antwerp and Lyon). Their enduring commercial activity abroad and the intensity of their economic relations beyond their home city fostered encounters of different cultures. They were protagonists of an intercultural exchange which on the strength of a solid foundation of money and finance spread the taste for beauty and Florentine Renaissance culture. They contributed to the realisation of the ‘Florence factor’, which is held to be the precursor of the ‘Italy factor’, namely the ability to produce attractive things appreciated throughout the world. Not only did the Botti family use their wealth, artistic taste and culture to grow economically, they also played a role in making their city an essential point of reference for the Italian Renaissance, thus benefiting artists as well. Their commercial earnings allowed them to assemble a splendid collection of artworks, which the last member of the family, Matteo di Giovanbattista, left to the Medici; these works included Raphael’s La Velata, reproduced here on the cover.

Introduction: abdominal obesity and dynapenia negatively affect life and increase disability in hemodialysis patients, while leisure activities can bring benefits.Objective: to evaluate the association between leisure activities and abdominal obesity and dynapenia in individuals on hemodialysis.
Methods: a cross-sectional epidemiological census of 1,021 hemodialysis patients from all hemodialysis units in the Metropolitan Region of Greater Vitória, Espírito Santo, Brazil. Dynapenia was assessed by handgrip strength and abdominal obesity by the conicity index. Leisure was measured using the Leisure Practices Scale. Differences in proportions between independent variables and the outcome were tested by chi-square tests and variables with p<0.05 were used in Binomial Logistic Regression.
Results: high engagement in manual leisure activities protects older people (OR=0.46; 95%CI=0.27 - 0.92) from dynapenic abdominal obesity. In adults, involvement in virtual leisure activities, whether low (OR=2.09; 95%CI= 1.17 - 3.75), medium (OR=2.83; 95%CI= 1.54 - 5.19) or high (OR: 2.64; 95%CI= 1.49 - 4.68) increased the chances of presenting dynapenic abdominal obesity.
Conclusion: leisure activities are associated with dynapenic abdominal obesity in both the elderly and adults. Activities that favor sedentary behavior increase the chances of adult individuals on hemodialysis presenting OAD, while high engagement in activities that require some physical effort for older people acts as a protective factor.

Introduction: diabetes mellitus significantly contributes to chronic ulcers, with over 30% of diabetics over 40 affected by lower limb ulcers, which can lead to severe complications if untreated. The Progressive Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRO-PRF) tissue regeneration matrix can be a technique to improve the dimensions of the membrane, its strength and cell distribution, aiding in the treatment of tissue reconstruction.
Objective: to describe a series of cases of diabetic ulcers treated with autologous tissue regeneration matrix (PRO-PRF).
Methods: a prospective, interventional case series study using a new tissue regeneration matrix protocol for the treatment of diabetic ulcers. This is an autologous matrix obtained by collecting peripheral blood and centrifuging it in a protocol of progressively increasing speeds.
Results: 29 patients were evaluated with a mean age of 60.54±9.75 years. 82.8% of the sample was male with an average body mass index (BMI) of 29.29±8.04Kg/m2 . Most of the lesions (41.4%) were located on the hallux. The median number of days of treatment was 14 (25% percentile of 7 and 75% percentile of 63 days). Statistical analysis showed a significant reduction in the size of the ulcers after treatment with PRO-PRF.
Conclusion: the use of PRO-PRF proved to be an easy-to-use, low-cost and effective therapeutic option for treating chronic skin wounds on diabetic feet.

Early initiation of breastfeeding, duration, and exclusivity are internationally recommended practices to maximize impact in preventing and reducing the double burden of malnutrition, reducing child mortality and other morbidities, improving child development, and reducing health costs. The protection, promotion, and support of breastfeeding are also central to countries' commitments to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Global progress in breastfeeding rates has been reported in past years. However, many children are still left behind and are not receiving the numerous benefits of breastfeeding. There are also relevant inequities in breastfeeding rates across global regions and countries and between groups from different socioeconomic statuses and cultural backgrounds within countries. These inequities are also extended to the frequency and availability of comparable standardized indicators worldwide. In 2023, globally, only 39% of the countries provided information on exclusive breastfeeding rates to the age of six months, and 7% assessed their overall breastfeeding support programs in the past five years. The increase in the coverage and frequency of monitoring globally agreed breastfeeding targets and the assessment of the impact of breastfeeding programs are imperative to providing breastfeeding support for all and increasing breastfeeding prevalence equitably. Breastfeeding can be an equalizer in society; no one should be left behind. Only this way can breastfeeding mums be celebrated in all their diversity and journeys, attending the 2024 World Breastfeeding Week call.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity (ADHD) is a prevalent neurobehavioral disorder affecting children's social, academic, and emotional development, with rising global incidence among children. This study assessed ADHD knowledge among 30 primary school teachers. A Quantitative approach-non-experimental univariate descriptive design was adapted to assess ADHD knowledge among 30 primary school teachers. Data was collected via Google Forms, with oral consent obtained from the principal. Convenient sampling was employed for participant selection. Using a structured questionnaire, the results showed that 90% of teachers had inadequate knowledge about ADHD, with no teachers demonstrating adequate understanding. The study found a correlation between teaching experience and ADHD knowledge but no significant relationship with other demographic factors. Data were collected via a Google Form, and statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS software.

Background and objective: The study of the S1P signaling pathway in the context of diabetes offers a novel perspective for understanding the mechanisms underlying cognitive decline and developing new therapeutic strategies. Material and methods: The study involved 24 Wistar rats, divided into three groups: group 1 was given distilled water and served as a control group; group 2 was made up of rats made diabetic and given distilled water; group 3 was made up of rats made diabetic and treated with D-erythro-dihydrosphingosine (SPK1 and SPK2 inhibitor). Behavioral tests included object recognition and maze tests, and Rt-PCR was used to assess sphingosine-1-phosphate expression. Results: The study revealed significant differences in weight between rats, with a notable decrease observed from day 7 onwards. It also revealed significant differences in the time spent exploring objects and the mental influence of diabetes on the acquisition of spatial knowledge. The study also revealed that diabetes affects working memory and inhibits S1P expression in the hippocampal region. Conclusion: The study reveals significant differences in exploratory behavior and memory capacity between diabetic and normal rats, highlighting the negative effects of diabetes on memory.
The Interest-Based Relations of the Ruling Elites as the Determining Main Variable in U.S.-Egypt Relations and the Hegemony
Authors: Fidan Hasan
Published: December 2024

This study claims that the main determinant in US-Egypt relations during the Mubarak era (1981-2011) were the mutual interests of the power elites of both countries. That process which began at the political level between the two countries during the Sadat era (1970-1981), evolved into reciprocal economic and political relations among the ruling elites of both Cairo and Wahington, gaining a social dimension during the Mubarak era. The relations among the power elites of the two countries have been very influential in determining bilateral relations and foreign policy.
In this study, case analysis and process analysis research techniques have been utilized. The relations between the US and Egypt are evaluated according to the basic concepts of Neo-Gramscian theory, considering material resources, institutions, ideology, the concept of the historical bloc and hegemonic social classes. The hypothesis that the most decisive dynamic in the political determination between the US and Egypt are mutual interest relationships and ideological alignments among the hegemonic social classes will be explained on applying the Gramscian concepts onto historical and interaction between both actors.
