Infeksi Cacing dan Penyakit Autoimun
Authors: Rusjdi Selfi Renita
Published: September 2023

Seiring dengan peningkatan kesejahteraan suatu negara, higiene dan sanitasi lingkungan juga semakin baik. Kesadaran untuk minum obat cacing dan lingkungan yang bersih menyebabkan prevalensi infeksi cacing yang berkurang,  namun diikuti dengan peningkatan insiden penyakit inflamasi termasuk penyakit autoimun. Korelasi negatif antara infeksi cacing dan penyakit autoimun ini juga sejalan dengan higiene hypothesis dan old friend hypothesis yang menyatakan bahwa peningkatan penyakit inflamasi terkait dengan kurangnya paparan mikroorganisme.
Penelitian sebelumnya menunjukkan bahwa cacing mempunyai efek imunomodulasi terhadap penyakit autoimun. Efek imunoregulasi ini terjadi karena infeksi cacing menimbulkan ruspon Th2 polarzed dan modified Th2 response yang mengaktifkan sel Tregulator (Treg). Keterlibatan sel Treg ini nantinya yang akan menekan berbagai proses inflamasi yang terjadi pada penyakit autoimun. Tulisan ini membahas peranan infeksi cacing dalam menghambat berbagai penyakit autoimun, seperti multiple sclerosis, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, rheumatoid arthritis dan insulin dependent diabetes melitus.

Envelhecimento bem sucedido: aspectos psicossociais
Authors: Bottino Cássio Machado de Campos , Ferreira Ricardo Barcelos
Published: September 2023

Desde a publicação do influente artigo escrito por Rowe e Kahn, em 1987, na revista Science, o conceito do envelhecimento bem sucedido passou a ser rediscutido. Estes autores sugeriram que o envelhecimento saudável seria caracterizado por baixa probabilidade para o adoecimento ou incapacitação, ótima capacidade cognitiva e funcional e engajamento social sustentado. Este conceito foi criticado por vários autores, dentre outras razões, por não incluir as aquisições positivas do envelhecimento (p.ex, resignação, resiliência), bem como diferenças sócio-culturais no conceito saúde-doença (Minkler and Fadem 2002; Torres, 2004). Dentre os inúmeros fatores potencialmente relacionados ao envelhecimento bem sucedido, coube-nos apresentar trabalhos de pesquisa recentes que discutissem a importância dos aspectos psíquicos a ele associados, ou as estratégias preventivas que pudessem ser adotadas para evitar que sintomas ou doenças psíquicas colaborassem para um envelhecimento patológico. Consultando a base de dados MEDLINE, no período de 1994 a 2071, encontramos 115 artigos, utilizando os unitermos “aged”, “sucessful aging”, “epidemiology”, “psychopathology”, e “depression”. Deste total, foram selecionados os artigos mais relevantes e atuais como fonte de dados para a presente revisão.

Authors: N. Hussein Farhad
Published: September 2023

Background: Recurrent aphthous is a common but poorly understood oral mucosal disorder. Impaired oxidant/antioxidant balance is associated with the tissue damage in recurrent aphthous. Aim: To evaluate lipid peroxidation and serum total antioxidant status (TAS) in aphthous patients treated locally by herbal medicine.Patients and methods: Patients were diagnosed and treated for recurrent ulceration in Outpatient Clinic, Mosul, Iraq, from September 2011 to February 2012. A total of 42 patients with recurrent aphthous ulceration (31 males and 11 females) and 25 healthy subjects as controls (19 males and 6 females) were included in the study. The patients were treated with aphthous cream that contained clove, thyme, mint, and liquerice, applied six times daily until cure or for two weeks. The patients were advised to use the cream for two weeks even the aphthous is healed. Blood samples were taken (5 mL) from patients before and after two weeks of treatment and other blood samples from the control group and analyzed for serum malodialdehyde (MDA) and total antioxidant status (TAS) by colorimetric methods. Results: In aphthous patients, serum MDA was significantly higher (p ≤ 0.001) than that in controls (1.82 ± 0.19 vs 1.06 ± 0.12 μmol/L), while serum TAS was significantly lower (p ≤ 0.001) than in the control group (1.16 ± 0.11 vs 1.70 ± 0.16 mmol/L). After treatment, serum MDA was decreased significantly (p ≤ 0.001) compared with the value before treatment (1.82 ± 0.19 vs 1.74 ± 0.17 μmol/L); however, serum TAS was increased significantly (p ≤ 0.05) after treatment compared with the value before treatment (1.16 ± 0.11 vs 1.2 ± 0.08 mmol/L). Both serum MDA and TAS in patients after treatment did not return to the control levels. The aphthous healed in most of the treated patient after 5-7 days, only two patients cured after 10 days of treatment. Conclusion: Aphthous ulceration in patients raises lipid peroxidation and reduces antioxidants. Aphthous treated with cream contained clove, thyme, ment and liquerice, healed within a week and the cured patients were associated with reduced lipid peroxidation and raised antioxidants status.

Authors: E. Sharquie Khalifa , R. Al-Rawi Jamal , M. Aljumaily Maqsood
Published: September 2023

Background: There are many risk factors that accentuate wrinkling like age, sex, occupation and smoking. Clinically, there is some sort of relationship between facial wrinkling and skin malignancy in association with sun exposure. Objective: To test the assumption whether skin cancer has relation with skin wrinkling frequency and sunlight exposure or not? Patients & Methods: A case-control study was conducted in Department of Dermatology and Venereology in Baghdad Teaching Hospital in the period from April 2011 through March 2012 on ( 57) patients with various skin tumors, and (79) respondents as a control group. Socio-demographic information, sunlight exposure duration measurement and full dermatological examination were done. Facial wrinkles were examined and measured according to wrinkle score in the group. Scores were simplified into: shallow (I, II), medium (III, IV) and deep wrinkles (V, VI). Results: The frequency of skin tumors were as follow; basal cell carcinoma (45.6%), squamous cell carcinoma (42.1%), and others (12.3%). Outdoor activity was more in patients with tumor, while about one third of control group only had outdoor activity (P<0.01). Shallow wrinkles are more frequent among indoor workers while there is no difference in frequency of medium and deep wrinkles among indoor and outdoor workers. Patients with superficial wrinkles more commonly affected with skin tumors than those with deep wrinkles. Conclusion: The present work had confirmed a negative association between the frequency of wrinkling score and skin tumors. Sunlight exposure had positive association with skin tumors, while outdoor activity may increase frequency of deeper skin wrinkling.

Simultaneous Motion Replanning and Gravity Model Refinement near Small Solar System Bodies
Authors: Paul Aditya Savio , Otte Michael
Published: September 2023

Strategic missions to orbit celestial bodies have primarily considered spacecraft trajectories as a two-step process: capture of the spacecraft within the gravitational influence of the body, followed by in-orbit maneuvers. Moreover, a priori maneuver planning approaches using Earth-based measurements tend to generate motion plans that have little scope of replanning, especially when the spacecraft is in the body’s vicinity. Fine-grained motion plans that respond to mission conditions require a detailed understanding of the gravitational forces around the body, which can provide essential information about the body. Our research focuses on a problem variant where the orbital maneuvers are designed to continually refine the onboard gravitational model of the body while simultaneously using the model to perform increasingly smoother orbital maneuvers. We develop a receding horizon approach. Starting with a (low-fidelity) gravity model created from Earth-based observations, the gravity model is continually updated as the spacecraft experiences varying gravitational forces. The updated model is simultaneously and continually used to replan the craft’s trajectory, ensuring that successive maneuvers respect the most up-to-date gravity model. The motion plan eventually attains a near-stable orbital motion. Such an approach has the potential to expand to autonomous missions to improve the mapping and exploration of smaller bodies.
Navigating a Colonial Legacy and Issues of Race and Racism as a South African Social Work Academic
Authors: Motloung Siphiwe
Published: September 2023

A colonial legacy, the nature of which subliminally instils ingrained reproductions of racial inferiority and superiority, makes it necessary to highlight the need to focus in more depth on the race and racism discourse of social work academics. As social work educators within the current South African higher education, the importance of social justice cannot be overemphasised. Considering the colonial undertones of South African social work education and the multicultural nature of South African society, in this article, I focus on the ethical implications of a colonial legacy and lingering race and racism issues for social work education. The article is derived from part of a qualitative study on discourses about race and racism with 16 academics within the higher education arena. In the article, I employed a non-probability sampling method, face-to-face interviews and a discursive data analysis approach. An excerpt of the interview with one academic Claire (white) is analysed by the researcher (black) with specific focus on Claire’s race and racism discourse. The focus is on critically and reflexively engaging with the ethical implications this has for social work education in the current era. It also contains my reflections as a social work academic navigating issues of race and racism. The findings evidenced seeming obliviousness to coloniality for Claire, which I inadvertently channel. This reflects the challenges of the South African commitment to moving beyond colonialism and the challenge this poses for social work values and ethics.

The present study was undertaken to explore the gastrointestinal tract of adult Channa striatus collected from Doaba region of Punjab. A total of 34 isolates were isolated and screened for antimicrobial activity against fish pathogens: Aeromonas hydrophila and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Four of these isolates were Gram positive. Of these four isolates, only one isolate PMS1 showed good antimicrobial activity against the Aeromonas hydrophila. The isolate exhibited high tolerance to low pH and strong adhesion capability. The isolate was found susceptible to all tested antibiotics. Based on in vitro assessment, biochemical and 16srRNA analysis the strain was identified as Lactococcus garvieae. Furthermore, extracellular metabolites were isolated and analyzed through Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry technique. The results revealed the presence of two compounds (1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11- Hexaethylcyclohexasiloxane and 2, 6 Lutidine 3, 5 dichloro-4- dodecylthio-). This study concludes that the isolate showed positive in vitro results and the metabolites do not confirm the pathogenicity of the strain. The findings suggest that further studies are required to evaluate the effect of Lactococcus garvieae PMS1 in fish.

Abstract Protection of Human Rights (HAM) is one of the characteristics of the rule of law. Violation of the right to life is a serious Human Rights violation that is qualified as a crime against humanity and a crime of genocide. Indonesia has enacted UU No.26 Tahun 2000 on Human Rights Courts as the basis for establishing a retroactive Ad Hoc Human Rights Court. Settlement of past gross human rights violations through the courts has been conducted in the 1999 East Timor case and the Tanjung Priok case in 1984. Both cases were terminated "free" at the Cassation and Reconsideration. From the judicial sociology review, both Judges' decisions are in fact extraction of interpretations of legal norms, moral values and social interests that live in society and become the nation's view. The sociological legal perspective provides the view that the judicial settlement has not been able to provide a sense of justice and beneficiary as a legal objective, therefore a non-judicial resolution is required for other cases of gross human rights abuses, as adopted by the Public Prosecution Service together with other government elements and Komnas HAM.

Published: September 2023

In the year 2022 a large number of remarkable scientific papers were published in the field of heart failure and heart muscle disease, to which the Hungarian Heart Failure community contributed with influential scientific activity. Results of landmark randomized clinical trials were published, and in recognition of the clinical and scientific activity of the Hungarian centers, notable activity was also demonstrated publishing these studies. In the field of cardiomyopathies several novel results were published in 2022. In connection with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) a landmark paper described the genetic architecture of the affected Hungarian population. An editorial comment was published in a highly ranked journal describing the myosin motor inhibition concept. An interesting paper about a retrospective analysis of cardiac amyloidosis patients, and MR specific differences between left ventricular noncompaction and dilated cardiomyopathy was published. Severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) was an ongoing pandemic in 2022 resulting in millions of deaths worldwide, affecting the heart of as much as 20–25% of those infected and causing several cardiac complications. Studies were published about the screening for myocardial injury and about the immunological response on disease itself and the vaccination against the virus. A joint scientific statement by the ESC also dealt with this topic. An impressive study was published about the prognostic value of anemia in patients with preserved, and mildly reduced and recovered ejection fraction and about the feasibility of baroreflex sensitivity measurements in heart failure subjects. In relation to drug therapy, a study is also worth mentioning about the cardiac efficacy and overall safety of SGLT2 inhibitors in patients treated with anthracyclines, and a network meta-analysis of randomized trials, analyzing the cardiovascular outcomes in patients treated with gliflozins. Finally, a focused issue of Cardiologia Hungarica on heart failure and myocardial diseases should be highlighted.

Bevezetés: A peripartum cardiomyopathia (PPCM) optimális, individualizált terápiája elengedhetetlen a mortalitás és a morbiditás csökkentésében. Eset: Egy 39 éves nőbeteg esetét mutatjuk be, aki 35 hetes gravidaként akut, dekompenzált, de novo csökkent ejekciós frakciójú szívelégtelenség (HFrEF) diagnózisával került kórházi felvételre (NTproBNP: 5680 pg/ml, NYHA IV). A transztorakális echokardiográfia (TTE) tág (LVEDD: 66 mm), normál falvastagságú, súlyos fokban csökkent szisztolés funkciójú bal kamrát (LVEF: 25%) igazolt. A súlyos, dekompenzált PPCM-re tekintettel a multidiszciplináris konzílium urgens császármetszést javasolt. Bromokriptint, illetve antikoaguláns és direkt vazodilatátor-kezelést indítottunk. Az emellett alkalmazott komplex antikongesztív, és a HFrEF-nek megfelelően bevezetett kombinált neurohormonális antagonista (ACEI + βB + MRA), illetve SGLT2i-terápia mellett állapota stabilizálódott, euvolémia elérhető és fenntartható volt. Szív MR-vizsgálata súlyos fokú szisztolés balkamra-diszfunkciót (LVEF: 22%, LVEDV: 191 ml), koronária-CT ép koszorúereket igazolt. NYHA II funkcionális osztályban történt hazabocsátást követően gondozását Szívelégtelenség Ambulanciánkon folytattuk. A súlyos balkamra-diszfunkció >6 havi optimális gyógyszeres terápia ellenére is perzisztált (LVEF: 25%, NYHA II), így primer prevenciós CRT-D implantációt végeztünk (bal Tawara-szár-blokkot, QRS: 140 msec-ot mérlegelve). A CRT-D-beültetés után a kontroll TTE már normalizálódott bal kamrai dimenziókat (LVEDD: 52 mm) és LVEF-et (56%) ábrázolt. 20 hónapos utánkövetés után betegünk jó klinikai állapotban van (NTproBNP: 203 pg/ml, NYHA I). Következtetés: Ugyan a PPCM lefolyása során gyakran remisszió lép fel, perzisztáló HFrEF esetén >6 havi irányelvek szerint optimalizált gyógyszeres kezelést követően az eszközös terápia mérlegelendő.
