Clinical trials of COVID 19 vaccines and vaccination campaign: ethical issues
Authors: Goncharova VE
Published: October 2021

For many centuries, infectious diseases have posed a serious threat: epidemics and pandemics claim lives and multiply the burden on health systems and countries' economies. Humanity managed to defeat a number of infections only thanks to specific preventive measures, i.e., vaccination. In 2020, society faced the new COVID-19 virus that has swept the whole world. The situation required swift and decisive action, including in what concerned vaccine development. It has also raised a number of ethical issues. The article analyzes ethical issues related to clinical trials and vaccination against COVID-19 by studying the regulations, literary sources and bioethical incidents. The key problems identified are: human participation in clinical trials during a pandemic, availability and, simultaneously, voluntariness of vaccination, public confidence in the SARS-Cov-2 vaccines approved for clinical practice. The study showed that the basic principles of clinical trials, voluntariness and awareness, are violated. It was revealed that despite all the efforts of public organizations and WHO initiatives in the world, there is a pronounced imbalance in the availability of the developed vaccines, while the vaccination voluntariness principle is violated by application of various mechanisms to put pressure on people, and public confidence in the developed vaccines can be called insufficient. In general, the problem of vaccination against COVID-19 remains relevant and requires comprehensive discussion.
The impact of risk perception on emotional distress in individuals with a family history of cancer
Authors: Ciucă Andrada , Moldovan Ramona , Pintea Sebastian , Băban Adriana
Published: October 2021

Purpose: Understanding the factors impacting individuals’ emotional distress in the context of a family history of cancer is key in designing and implementing psychosocial interventions. Our study investigated the extent to which having a family history of cancer is associated with emotional distress and whether the perceived risk to develop colorectal cancer (CRC) plays any role in this equation. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 253 individuals from the general population who volunteered to take part in this study. We assessed their family history of cancer and perceived risk for developing CRC, and assessed the emotional distress. Findings: Individuals with a family history of cancer have higher levels of emotional distress compared to individuals without a family history, t(251)=-10.16, p<.001. Our data show that risk perception to develop CRC moderates the relationship between the family history of cancer and emotional distress (β=0.38, CI=(1.68, 5.92), r2=0.24, p<.001, d=0.25). Conclusion: This study was aimed at corroborating the role family history of cancer and risk perception have in explaining the emotional distress associated with cancer. Our results contribute to a clearer understanding of the impact family history of cancer has on emotional distress and show that risk perception is key in this relationship.
Instrumentos líticos de cuarzo, prácticas sociales y vida campesina durante el primer milenio de la Era en el este de Catamarca, Argentina
Authors: Egea Débora , Moreno Enrique
Published: October 2021

En la reproducción social cotidiana, las poblaciones humanas utilizan diferentes herramientas para resolver actividades. Una de las formas de acceder a estos instrumentos es a través del estudio de la formatización de filos, puntas y superficies líticas. En este trabajo nos interesa introducirnos en la forma en que manufacturaron sus herramientas las poblaciones que habitaron la Sierra de El Alto-Ancasti (Catamarca, Argentina) durante el primer milenio de la era. Se evalúan las características técnicas, morfológicas y funcionales de los instrumentos líticos de diferentes sitios excavados en el este catamarqueño para analizar diferencias en los sitios arqueológicos estudiados. Además, este trabajo constituye un aporte al análisis de los instrumentos manufacturados en cuarzo, materia prima que presenta algunas particularidades en cuanto a su dureza y calidad para la talla, pero que representa prácticamente la totalidad de la tecnología lítica en los sitios trabajados en una vasta zona del centro-norte de la Argentina.
La tecnología cerámica en ocupaciones del Holoceno tardío (ca. 1900 años AP) en el valle de Ongamira (Córdoba, Argentina)
Authors: Robledo Andrés , Gasparotti Leticia
Published: October 2021

Se presentan los primeros resultados obtenidos del análisis del conjunto cerámico recuperado en las excavaciones del sitio Parque Natural Ongamira 1, localizado en el valle de Ongamira (Ischilín, Córdoba, Argentina). Se propone indagar sobre su manufactura, uso y descarte de acuerdo a los contextos identificados, para realizar los primeros aportes sobre las prácticas de producción y uso de esta materialidad para el valle. A partir de los estudios macroscópicos y microscópicos se pudo identificar la presencia de al menos seis vasijas en diferentes contextos de ocupación, las cuales muestran diferencias tanto en sus pastas como en los acabados superficiales y decoraciones. Los análisis microscópicos de petrografía de pastas permitieron identificar cuatro tipos de variantes en su composición, dos de ellas con posible origen local. Esto permite indagar en las relaciones entre los habitantes del valle hacia los 1900 años AP a través de las características de los objetos cerámicos utilizados.
Life After COVID-19: What if We Never go Back to the Office?
Authors: Murphy Kevin R.
Published: October 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a substantial increase in the use of remote work for occupations where this modality is feasible. This paper speculates on the likely outcome of this unplanned experiment by asking what might happen if we never go back to the office. I predict that: (1) managers will find an adjustment to permanent remote work difficult, (2) some tasks will become increasingly difficult to perform, (3) female employees will suffer, (4) many employees will respond positively to doing away with the office, but this response will be far from universal, and (5) organizations will thrive, particularly organizations that are already rich and powerful.
Uveal Tumor with Retinal Detachment – Case Report of a Rare Malignancy
Authors: Mărginean Claudia Raluca , Rațiu Alexandra Mihaela
Published: October 2021

Introduction: Melanoma, a type of tumor originating from melanocytes, can have different anatomic locations. Ocular melanoma represents about 5% of total melanomas and is a rare condition, with an overall incidence rate of 5.1 cases/million/year. The most frequent location of uveal melanoma is the choroid (90%), followed by the ciliary body (6%) and the iris (4%). The most frequent symptoms of choroidal melanoma are blurred vision and photopsia. The therapeutic approach of uveal melanoma can be classified into two main categories: globe preservation treatments and enucleation.

Case presentation: We present the case of a male patient diagnosed at the age of 72 years with right choroidal melanoma, who had a preexisting condition of visual impairment due to the presence of right mature cataract. The diagnosis was delayed in the course of the disease, as retinal detachment had already been installed. The patient was treated with local radiotherapy.

Conclusion: Uveal melanoma is a malignancy in which a novel therapeutic approach, including magnetic resonance imaging is needed in order to improve the outcome of these patients, preserve vision and prevent systemic extension of the disease.
Reading Cassirer's philosophy of myth: early signs of Heidegger's late philosophy?
Authors: Sylla Bernhard Josef
Published: October 2021

Reading Cassirer’s philosophy of myth: early signs of Heidegger’s late philosophy? In 1928, Heidegger’s book review of the second volume of Cassirer’s Philosophy of Symbolic Forms (The Mythical Thought) was published in the Deutsche Literaturzeitung. Cassirer’s text date of 1925, hence it is possible that Heidegger had read it even before the publication of Being and Time. What makes both texts worthy of a closer examination is the fact that several central motifs and terms of Heidegger’s later philosophy are already present in these two texts. Heidegger focuses particularly on Cassirer’s reflections on the representation of mana (Mana-Vorstellung) in mythical thinking. This representation involves not only the distinction between the familiar and the unfamiliar, the ‘uncanniness’ or ‘not-at-homeness’ that befalls mightily the Dasein, but also the distinction between the sacred and the profane and that of the four world regions (Weltgegenden) and its organization in form of a cross. Although not everything that Heidegger announces is interpretable as full awareness of the future impact of these traces, one would wonder if the density with which they appear would be mere accident. Thus, the article contributes to the debate on the issue of the emerging of Heidegger’s late thought and its origins which can be traced back to the stage of genesis, or rather, the final draft of Being and Time.

Authors: Горян Элла Владимировна
Published: October 2021

Объектом исследования являются отношения, возникающие при обеспечении информационной безопасности в киберпространстве. Характеризуются положения Национальной стратегии кибербезопасности и Закона о кибербезопасности Таиланда как ключевых документов, определяющих систему гарантий информационной безопасности. С целью получения наиболее достоверных научных результатов использованы системно-структурный, формально-логический и формально-юридический методы. Закон о кибербезопасности 2019 года устанавливает эффективный механизм обеспечения информационной безопасности в киберпространстве как в институциональном аспекте, так и нормативно-правовом. В первом случае создана вертикаль государственного управления и мониторинга, во втором – определены секторы КИИ и минимальные требования к организациям КИИ. Отличительной чертой рассматриваемого закона является нормативное обоснование ограничения прав и свобод человека при реализации его положений, а также установление уголовных санкций за совершение преступлений должностными лицами как государственных органов, так и частных компаний. Такие санкции выступают в качестве дополнительной гарантии прав и свобод человека в сфере информации и персональных данных. Ключевые слова и словосочетания: кибербезопасность, национальный механизм, Таиланд.

Authors: Гусева Марина Анатольевна , Андреева Елена Георгиевна , Али кызы Али кызы Курманжан
Published: October 2021

Активный образ жизни современного человека определяет выбор его повседневного гардероба. В качестве базовой плечевой одежды большинство потребителей предпочитают изделия «быстрой моды» (футболки, толстовки, куртки), силуэт, покрой и конфекцион-пакет которых обеспечивают достаточный уровень эргономического соответствия при оценке показателей качества. Цикличность моды неизбежно приводит к обновлению: потребители меняют модные привычки и модели одежды сложного кроя, прилегающего и полуприлегающего силуэтов, изготовленные из материалов сложной фактуры, периодически становятся востребованы. В настоящее время быструю смену модных тенденций сопровождает ускорение процесса проектирования одежды, основанное на включении в САПР модулей виртуальных примерок. Симуляция посадки проектируемых изделий на электронных фигурах позволяет оценить эстетический образ, качество конструктивного решения в статике и динамике. На адекватность виртуального макетирования непосредственно влияют загруженные в САПР обучающие выборки, представляющие собой базы трехмерных и плоскостных конструкций одежды и библиотеки визуализации посадки проектируемых изделий на электронных манекенах. В статье представлены результаты тестирования инструментария программы CLO3D для процесса проектирования одежды с меховой отделкой. Проведенная виртуальная примерка показала преимущество симулятивного макетирования изделий со сложной фактурной поверхностью, выраженное в быстром получении результатов анализа пространственной формы исследуемых моделей на соответствие эстетических и эргономических показателей качества объектов без изготовления их натурных аналогов. Ключевые слова и словосочетания: цифровые двойники фигур, оценка внешнего вида, динамическое соответствие.

Published: October 2021

Still, there is a lack of research on the dark side or destructive leadership. The purpose of this research is to add the literature on the two shades of destructive leadership, that are aversive and exploitative leadership, and their shadow in the form of counterproductive work behavior on the nursing professionals. Using 485 samples collected from the nurses of different hospitals of Pakistan, the model is tested through multiple linear hierarchical regressions, correlation analysis, and confirmatory factor analysis in Smart PLS software. The results reveal that people working under aversive and exploitative leaders are more likely to indulge in counterproductive work behavior. Still, proactive personalities have an essential impact which weakens the relationship between destructive leadership and counterproductive work behavior. Results of this study describe a vital requirement for corporate leaders to strengthen their recruitment process in such a way that people with aversive and exploitative attitudes ought to understand how to treat their subordinates before they enter top roles to discourage their workers from indulging in counterproductive behavior.

Accessing the veins for blood delivery, sampling or nutrition is a critical factor in the process of care and management of pediatric patients. In this regard, the peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) is one of the main alternatives which could be applied effectively as traditional central venous devices in neonates and adults. Due to their essential role in providing safe central venous entry, PICCs could be applied extensively in patients who are critically ill. The main aims of the present study are to review approximately all relevant publications concerning PICC procedures, any possible complications, and the most appropriate decision for preventing these complications due to their high mortality rate. We carried out a comprehensive search on PubMed, HubMed, EMBASE, MEDLINE, Science Direct, Scopus, MEDLINE, and EMBASE databases for identifying the most relevant publications related to potential complications following the application and insertion of PICCs in hospitalized children and infants. Through appropriate care of catheters, the rate of possible infectious, mechanical and thrombotic complications would decrease considerably compared to those patients who received traditional central venous catheters. However, the process of vascular access in neonatal and children is very challenging. Any delay or denying treatment due to the lack of vascular access is intolerable. In this regard, anesthesiologists must achieve extra knowledge of various vascular devices.

Erosive tooth wear (ETW) refers to the chemical dissolution of mineralized tissues by acids of non-bacterial origin. It occurs in the primary as well as the permanent dentition. In this study, our objectives were to investigate and compare the impact of chlorhexidine gluconate (CHX), essential oils (EO), and cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) on ETW protection produced by conventional fluoride kinds of toothpaste. A clinically relevant in-vitro erosion/abrasion pH cycling model was employed to test the effect of the aforementioned mouthwashes on modulating the ability of NaF and SnF2 types of toothpaste. The mean dentin surface loss associated with NaF toothpaste was significantly lower than for the SnF2 toothpaste. On the other hand, enamel surface loss with SnF2 toothpaste was significantly lower than for the NaF toothpaste. Also, the surface loss of erosion was significantly higher when associated with abrasion than without brushing and for both enamel and dentin. There was no significant difference in the surface loss among all types of mouthwash. Commonly used types of mouthwash containing antimicrobial agents or additional fluoride do not impact fluoride toothpaste action on erosion/abrasion. Also, considering erosion only, the tested SnF2 dentifrice provided better protection against surface loss of enamel than the other.

We carried out a prospective case series study in order to evaluate the laryngeal complications of the endotracheal tube. Two hundred patients aged 15 years and above who were subjected to endotracheal intubation for less than 5 hours were enrolled in the study. The data were collected from the Al-Salam Teaching Hospital in Mosul, Iraq. A preoperative assessment was accomplished clinically using 70º and/or 90º Hopkins rods or fiber optic laryngoscopy. As part of the assessment, the patients' voices were recorded as well. Five to seven days after the procedure, the same assessment was repeated and compared to the preoperative data. If the postoperative examination and the voices were similar to the preoperative data, no follow-up was performed. If any abnormality was found in the larynx, the examination was repeated once weekly for one month or until the voice was recovered. In our study, five patients (2.5%) had intubation-related laryngeal injuries. The intubation period, changes in the position of the head or body of the patient during anesthesia, and the difficulty of intubation raised the possibility of laryngeal injuries. In general, intubation is a safe procedure; however, a laryngeal injury may appear as a rare complication. We found that there is a relation between the intubation period, changing the position of the patient during intubation, and difficulty of intubation with the occurrence of laryngeal injury.

Crohn’s disease is characterized by persistent or recurrent chronic inflammation that may affect any segment of the gastrointestinal tract. It has an oscillating evolution, with periods of activity alternating with periods of remission. Crohn’s disease has a significant impact on the economic status due to its increasing prevalence, often affecting young people. Suitable management for these patients involves frequent evaluations. Even though colonoscopy is the gold standard for the assessment of severity and mucosal healing, it is an invasive maneuver, not easily accepted by patients, and it does not have good repeatability. Intestinal ultrasound has the advantage of being non-irradiating, non-invasive, well-tolerated, cheap, and easy to repeat. Ultrasound parameters such as bowel wall thickness, intestinal wall architecture, intramural vascularisation, proliferation of mesenteric fatty conjunctive tissue, and intraperitoneal fluid can provide good information regarding the severity of the disease, the differentiation between remission and relapse, and its complications. Some of the latest studies show good correlations between ultrasound parameters and inflammation markers (C-reactive protein, fecal calprotectin) and clinical severity scores of Crohn’s disease. Consequently, the importance of intestinal ultrasound has increased lately, and recent studies support its use to evaluate the severity of inflammation, differentiate between active disease and relapse, monitor therapy response and guide treatment, evaluate prognosis, and diagnose complications.

Spontaneous intracranial hypotension is a rare clinical entity caused in most cases by a cerebrospinal fluid leak occurring at the level of the spinal cord. Cranial dural leaks have been previously reported as a cause of orthostatic headaches but, as opposed to spinal dural leaks, were not associated with other findings characteristic of spontaneous intracranial hypotension. We present the case of a male admitted for severe orthostatic headache. The patient had a history of intermittent postural headaches, dizziness, and symptoms consistent with post-nasal drip, which appeared several years after head trauma. Brain imaging showed signs consistent with intracranial hypotension: bilateral hygromas, subarachnoid hemorrhage, superficial siderosis, diffuse contrast enhancement of the pachymeninges, and superior sagittal sinus engorgement. No spinal leak could be identified by magnetic resonance imaging, and the patient had a rapid remission of symptoms with conservative management. Further work-up identified an old temporal bone fracture which created a route of egress between the posterior fossa and the mastoid cells. Otorhinolaryngology examination showed pulsatile bloody discharge and liquorrhea at the level of the left pharyngeal opening of the Eustachian tube. The orthostatic character of the headache, as well as the brain imaging findings, were consistent with intracranial hypotension syndrome caused by a cranial dural leak. Clinical signs and imaging findings consistent with the diagnosis of apparently “spontaneous” intracranial hypotension should prompt the search for a cranial dural leak if a spinal leak is not identified.
