Authors: Eswari Prasanna P  , Katika Surya Gowthami  , Asha Latha A  , Rajendra Prasad M
Published: June 2022

Background: Laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation are frequently associated with sympathetic stress response. Lignocaine and esmolol are useful to decrease the sympathetic response to laryngoscopy and intubation.
Aims and Objectives: The aim of the study was to study the effectiveness of lignocaine and esmolol administered intravenously before laryngoscopy and intubation in attenuating the sympathetic response.
Materials and Methods: The prospective, randomized, and controlled study was conducted in Maharajah’s Institute of Medical Sciences Hospital for a period of 18 months from January 2016 to June 2017. A clinical comparative study of attenuation of sympathetic response to laryngoscopy and intubation was done in 90 patients posted for elective surgeries. The sample size estimation is calculated based on findings from the previous study done by Singh et al., (2013).Group I was control group. In this group, no drug was administered. Group II was lignocaine group. Here, patients received 1.5mg/kg lignocaine i.v. bolus. Group III was esmolol group. All patients in this group received 2mg/kg i.v. bolus. Statistical Analysis: Descriptive data presented as Mean±SD and in percentage. Pair-wise comparison between the groups was done by “Z” test. For all tests,“Z” value of >1.96 was considered significant and “P’ <0.05” was considered significant.
Results: Esmolol at a bolus dose of 2mg/kg i.v. administered 3 min before laryngoscopy and intubation is more efficient than lignocaine given at a dose of 1.5mg/kg.
Conclusions: Esmolol at bolus dose of 2mg/kg i.v. administered can be recommended to attenuate sympathetic responses due to laryngoscopy and intubation.

Published: June 2022

Background: Several forms of hemoglobin variants might be present in the population being fully or partially silent. Furthermore, a high percentage of the population is already suffering from type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) which is mainly monitored by HbA1cestimation. As the structure of hemoglobin molecule is altered by the variant status hence, this might have an impact on the HbA1c estimation.
Aims and Objectives: The study aimed to assess the prevalence of hemoglobin variant and its effect on the HbA1c estimation.
Materials and Methods: Samples from 439 individuals were taken and evaluated for any hemoglobin variants,andalso, the HbA1c values were measured.
Results: About 27.4% of the study population were found to have hemoglobin variants, out of this 27.4%, 19.5% were Hb E carrier and 6.45% were Hb E diseased. About 22.3% of the population were suffering from DM. Hb variants had significant effect on HbA1C measurement in the overall study population and in the normal population with P<0.001. Two-way ANOVA also showed Hb variant and diabetes status significantly affected HbA1C value with P<0.001 in the study population.
Conclusion: All the patients should be properly evaluated for Hb variants before interpreting the results of Hb A1C to prevent improper management.

Authors: Tushar M Kalekar  , Viraj P Shah  , Sameeh Uz Zaman  , Saad Muhammad Jaweed Shaikh  , Rachit Khandelwal
Published: June 2022

Background: Beta-thalassemia is a group of inherited blood disorders that are characterized by reduced levels of functional hemoglobin. These patients require lifelong blood transfusions, leading to iron deposition in various tissues. Prompt detection of myocardial iron helps to assess the extent of myocardial damage and its complications.
Aims and Objectives: Our study aims to establish the role of T2* cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and its comparison with serum ferritin levels in detecting iron overload in beta-thalassemia major (TM) patients.
Materials and Methods: This prospective study included 30 pediatric patients admitted to our institute with beta-TM. The patients underwent T2* cardiac MRI examinations, myocardial iron quantification was assessed, and patients were divided into groups based on the severity of iron overload.
Results: In this study, there were 18 males and 12 females. Out of the total studied cases, 15 (50%) showed no evidence of iron overload, 8 (26.67%) showed mild, 4 (13.33%) showed moderate, and 3 (10%) showed severe cardiac siderosis, based on the cardiac T2* values obtained.
Conclusion: T2* cardiac MRI is an accurate and invaluable tool that helps to detect iron overload in beta-TM.

Published: June 2022

Background: The prevalence of hypertension (HTN) and associated factors across social groups including tribal communities as a major non-communicable disease across world is a topic of very high contemporary relevance, especially when it is misconceived as a cause of morbidity only for the richer strata of the society.
Aims and Objectives: The present study was conducted to assess the prevalence of HTN and its associated factors among tribal population in South Rajasthan.
Materials and Methods: The cross-sectional study is based on a sample of 300 adult members living in 160 randomly selected tribal households in Udaipur district.The information collected included systolic and diastolic blood pressure along with a set of associated sociodemographic, behavioral risk factors, level of physical activities, and body mass index. The descriptive statistical measures such as class frequencies, mean, standard deviation, and Chi-square test of significance for association were used.
Results: The estimated overall prevalence of HTN was 23.33% with 29.05% for male and 17.76% for female tribal adult population. The sex, age,family history of HTN, occupation, socioeconomic class, and landholding size were found significantly associated with HTN.The risk factors such as alcohol consumption, smoking, and additional salt intake emerged with odds ratio of 1.83, 2.94, and 1.14, respectively.
Conclusion: The health intervention focused to increase physical activity and to reduce alcohol consumption, smoking, and additional salt intake can prove to be effective control measures for emerging problem of HTN in tribal area.

Authors: Sarika P Patil  , Sushant S Chavan  , Amol D Kinge  , Vikrant S Pagar
Published: June 2022

Background: The COVID-19 vaccination program was introduced in India on 16 January 2021. The Government-issued fact sheet was the only source of information regarding Adverse Events Following Immunizations (AEFIs) for these vaccines.
Aims and Objectives: The objective of this study was to assess the AEFI reported following COVISHIELD vaccination in an urban health center.
Materials and Methods: The spontaneous reporting method was used for data collection for 3 months. A data collection form was designed to collect the data from the study population who reported adverse events. Collected data were analyzed and categorized by severity and seriousness. The causality assessment was done using the World Health Organization’s causality assessment algorithm.
Results: A total of 3,486 doses of COVISHIELD vaccine were administered at the study site during the study period. In all, 306 AEFIs were reported from 190 subjects with an incidence rate of 5.45%. The majority of the subjects with AEFIs belonged to the age group of 18–45 years. Out of the total 306 AEFIs, 287 AEFIs were expected as per the fact sheets. Most of the AEFIs (59.47% [n=182]) were observed at the system organ class of “General disorders and administration site conditions.” After the causality assessment, out of 433 AEFIs to COVISHIELD vaccine, 94.22% (n=287) of events were categorized to have “consistent causal association with immunization.” All of them recovered from their adverse events without any sequelae.
Conclusion: Most common AEFI after COVISHIELD vaccination was found to be general disorders and administration site conditions. No severe AEFI reported.
Rapidly Expanding Glacial Lakes in Nepal Himalaya
Authors: Khadka Nitesh , Ghimire Shravan Kumar , Sharma Shankar , Hamal Kalpana
Published: June 2022

The retreat and shrinkage of glaciers due to climate change are the causes for the formation and expansion of glacial lakes in the Himalayas. This study presents the rapidly expanding glacial lakes in Nepal Himalayas between 1988 and 2018 based on the published glacial lake inventories produced from Landsat imageries (30 m). Glacier-fed end moraine-dammed glacial lakes whose surface area was?0.1 km2 in 2018 with an expansion rate of more than 30% in 1988-2018 were regarded as rapidly expanding glacial lakes. The results show that 19 rapidly expanding glacial lakes are heterogeneously distributed in different sub-basins of Nepal. Among the sub-basins, Dudh Koshi sub-basin has a maximum (5) number of rapidly expanding glacial lakes. The total surface area of these 19 glacial lakes expanded by ~133%, from 4.12±0.61 km2 in 1988 to 9.62±1.04 km2 in 2018. Regular monitoring of rapidly expanding glacial lakes is required because the rapid expansion heightens the risk of GLOF by developing more potential flood volume and the expanding lakes can reach sites of possible avalanches.
Cointegration between Macroeconomic Variables and Stock Market Returns in Nepal
Authors: Rana Surya Bahadur
Published: June 2022

This paper examines the long-run relationship between selected macroeconomic variables and the stock market returns in Nepal over 1995-2020 periods. Based on the ARDL bounds testing approach, the study reveals significant long-run positive impact of real GDP growth, and negative impact of exchange rate and inflation on stock market returns in Nepal. The result of error correction representation shows that any short-run disequilibrium among the variables tends to return to their long-run equilibrium with speed of adjustment of 47.57 percent in a year. The study results imply that policy makers should come up with policies to accelerate the pace of economic growth and should initiate export stimulating policies to ensure the positive impact on stock market. Finally, the study results also suggest that controlled and stabilised interest rate environment enhances depth and breadth of stock market trading by attracting significant number of prospective investors demanding more investments in stock market of Nepal.
Abordaje del vértigo en medicina general
Authors: Masis Marroquín Adriana Carolina , Soto Chaves Génesis María , Camacho Quesada Javier , Camacho Quesada Javier , Aguilar Víquez Etilma
Published: June 2022

El vértigo es una causa frecuente de consulta a los servicios de atención médica. Este se define como la ilusión de movimiento de uno mismo o de su alrededor, e implica una asimetría entre la actividad de las vías vestibulares. Es causado por etiologías muy diversas, en su mayoría benignas, por ejemplo, el vértigo posicional paroxístico benigno, sin embargo, también puede ser un hallazgo de patologías que ponen en riesgo la vida. El abordaje del paciente con vértigo implica una historia clínica detallada y la aplicación de pruebas particulares en el examen físico que permiten valorar la función del sistema vestibular. De forma inicial, el médico tratante debe buscar y descartar aquellas etiologías de origen central que amenazan la vida del paciente y ameritan ser manejados en servicios de urgencias. Una vez descartadas las causas de origen central, es importante para el médico general conocer las causas más comunes de vértigo periférico, sus características clínicas y su abordaje terapeútico; así como identificar aquellas que ameritan ser referidas a servicios especializados.
Actualización sobre neuroplasticidad cerebral
Authors: Guadamuz Delgado Jennifer , Miranda Saavedra Mario , Mora Miranda Natalia
Published: June 2022

La neuroplasticidad es la capacidad del cerebro para reorganizar la actividad neuronal o un reajuste en su funcionalidad. Esto es debido a conexiones neuronales que responden a factores ambientales, por estimulaciones sensoriales o consecuencias en el desarrollo normal. Estas capacidades que presenta el cerebro se ven más favorecidas en edad temprana ya que presentan una mejor absorción de información y de regeneración en las neuronas por medio de una respuesta rápida de la sinapsis.
DIFFERENTIATED APPROACH TO PREVENTION AND TREATMENT OF ACUTE LEFT VENTRICULAR FAILURE IN PATIENTS WHO UNDERWENT CORONARY ARTERY BYPASS GRAFT SURGERY WITH CARDIOPULMONARY BYPASS
Authors: Cherniy V. I. , Kurylenko Y. V.
Published: June 2022

Introduction. Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the accumulation of atherosclerotic plaques in the blood vessels that supply the heart with oxygen and nutrients. Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a strategy for myocardial revascularization that is indicated for patients with three or more coronary artery demage, high SYNTAX, diabetes, and left ventricular systolic dysfunction. Despite the tremendous development of equipment, surgical and anesthesia techniques, in the perioperative period, there are still complications. The most formidable complication after such an operation of CABG with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is the development of acute left ventricular failure (ALVF).

The aim. To study the effectiveness of the principles of a differentiated approach to the prevention and correction of ALVF in patients who underwent surgery - CABG with CPB.

Materials and methods. 500 cardiac surgery patients with coronary heart disease were operated on at SIS “Research and Practical Center of Preventive and Clinical Medicine” SAD. In all the cases, coronary artery bypass grafting was performed using cardiopulmonary bypass. In order to verify the principles of a differentiated approach to the correction and prevention of ALVF, the study was divided into three stages. At the first stage, the problem of the metabolic component of ALVF correction was studied (60 patients). On the second - the problem of diagnosis and correction of hypophosphatemia (60 patients with preoperative hypophosphatemia). On the third - diagnostic properties of the innovative method "Phasagraphy" (80 patients).

Results. The introduction of a combination of levocarnitine and arginine, fructose-1,6-diphosphate - in case of hypophosphatemia, in the treatment of ALVF can reduce the recovery time of hemodynamics and reduce the total dose of inotropic drug (dobutamine) needed to achieve stabilization. The LF/HF indicator reliably reflects the ratio of sympathetic and parasympathetic parts of the autonomic nervous system, responds to disturbances and restoration of hemodynamics. The βT index of the phasagraphy method is related to clinical data on myocardial status.

Conclusions. To prevent the development of ALVF in patients with coronary heart disease requires a differentiated approach: perioperative diagnosis of hypophosphatemia and its correction. In the case of ALVF after CABG surgery in patients with coronary heart disease to stabilize hemodynamics, the use of inotropic support with dobutamine and metabolic support with a combination of levocarnitine and arginine. As monitoring of myocardial condition it is advisable to use LF/HF indicator of variation pulsometry and βT method of phasagraphy.
QUALITY CONTROL OF THE WORK OF A FAMILY PHYSICIAN IN UKRAINE AS A KEY TO SUCCESSFUL PRACTICE
Authors: Vysochina I.L. , Bashkirova N.S. , Anoshko A.N.
Published: June 2022

Summary. In the context of the reform of the medical industry in Ukraine, the issue of ensuring effective quality control of the provision of medical care and its proper organization in healthcare institutions, and primarily primary care providers (PCP), has become topical. Today in Ukraine, the control of the work of general practitioners-family doctors (audit) is a continuous process, the purpose of which is to improve the quality of medical care. The audit is characterized by a systematic approach, which makes it possible to identify problems, assess the achieved level of quality, plan, and implement changes aimed at improving the quality of medical care.

The audit of the work of doctors is divided into professional and administrative, as well as internal and external. The audit of the work of general practitioners - family doctors, as a rule, is a combination of all these types.

Internal quality control is carried out by the general/medical director of the PCP provider and the medical boards of the institution, and is divided into audit of the structure, process and result. In addition, there are forms of internal audit of the work of family doctors: self-control and self-assessment of quality, mutual assessment between colleagues, and assessment of the head of the PCP provider.

The external audit of the PCP supplier is represented by non-departmental, public and departmental control. The subjects of control are the authorized bodies outside the medical institution. External quality control of the provision of medical care is carried out by state authorities, clinical expert commissions of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, public organizations. The financial audit is carried out by the National Health Service of Ukraine and the Department of Audit and Analytics of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. Administrative audit is carried out by the Department of Audit and Analytics of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine.

Conclusions. In general, control over the activities of general practitioners - family doctors is an ongoing process and involves a systematic approach. Internal audits are conducted by members of the same profession, providing a unique opportunity to identify non-compliance with standards and change tactics before it leads to adverse consequences. External audit is carried out by state institutions. The balanced application of these two forms of audit allows to achieve a high quality of work of doctors. General practitioners - family doctors should strive for quality and regular internal audit as the main corrective factor in the implementation of quality care in family medicine.
La confiance dans le dispositif : une obstination déraisonnable
Authors: Sainton J. , Derzelle M.
Published: June 2022

L’évolution législative récente relative à la fin de vie, qui tend à substituer la procédure à la relation, interroge. Aujourd’hui, chaque question semble devoir être obstinément transformée en problème à résoudre, et donc à résoudre techniquement. Nous évoluons dans un contexte marqué par la primauté de la technique et du droit sur le sens et sur le rapport humain. Ce paradigme, confronté à nos limites, accentue la double angoisse de la fin de vie : la peur de souffrir et la peur de mourir. Il favorise également une compréhension nominaliste de la liberté : l’autonomie n’est plus comprise comme un accomplissement, mais comme un refus, une émancipation du réel. La loi du 2 février 2016 rend compte de ce déplacement, elle qui nous invite à placer notre confiance non plus dans la personne mais « dans le dispositif ». Ainsi des directives anticipées, dont la finalité est de faire droit à l’autonomie, réduite à la maîtrise, au contrôle des conditions du mourir. Le dispositif, qui fera dépendre l’autonomie d’une exigence de conformité à la technique, devient le symptôme d’une profonde désubjectivation. La médicalisation de la mort obère la question de la mort. Et cette désymbolisation de la mort va de pair avec son individualisation, le sujet étant laissé de plus en plus seul. Il conviendrait de rendre à la parole et au sens leur souveraineté. Car les enjeux de la fin de vie sont des enjeux de sens — non de moyens.
From Jean-Paul Sartre to Critical Existentialism
Authors: Russo Maria
Published: June 2022

This article examines Sartre’s works in which his attempt to find an existentialist ethics is evident. Most of the clues to this project are to be found in texts published posthumously since during his lifetime he never managed to fulfil the promise he made at the end of Being and Nothingness. It will be argued that this existentialist ethics owes a strong debt to Kantian philosophy, even if it confronts more directly the historical dynamics of violence and oppression. Despite the fact that this project is unfinished and only sketched out, it is possible to ask what Sartre’s direction of development would have been, pointing to the outline of a normative theory, Critical Existentialism, that could have its place in contemporary ethical debate.

On one typological rarity: The causative in Tsugni Dargwa
Authors: Sulaibanov Gasangusen
Published: June 2022

The paper deals with a typologically rare and perhaps even unique case of causative marking attested in the dialect of Tsugni (Dargwa group, Nakh-Dagestanian family). Whereas all dialects and languages of the Dargwa group that have been described before express the causative by a suffix (the suffix -aq in most cases), the causative derivation in Tsugni is marked by a stress shift — from the verbal stem to the infl ectional suffix following it. In this connection, the paper also describes the stress patterns attested in the verbs in Tsugni and some other Dargwa dialects. In the final part of the paper we discuss how this unusual marking pattern could arise and what its lexical source could be.
Trochaic tetrameter in Russian folk spiritual verses of late tradition: Some issues of metrics and rhythmics
Authors: Petrov Alexander
Published: June 2022

The article represents the first experience in analyzing the metrical and rhythmical organization of Russian folk spiritual verses written in trochaic tetrameter in the 19th–20th centuries. These verses existed not only orally, but in writing as well. The criteria for the selection of folklore material and its preparation for research are substantiated. The sample consists of 4447 lines, 93 texts were analyzed. The analysis is based on the principles of the “Russian method”. The purpose of the article is to test the hypothesis about different rhythmical structure of lines with feminine and masculine endings. According to this hypothesis, accentual dissimilation is progressive in feminine lines and regressive in masculine lines, which is also confirmed by some literary and folklore materials. The array of lines was differentiated by feminine and masculine rhymes; rhythmical tendencies were identifi ed on the basis of a separated analysis. The metrical repertoire of the bearers of the folklore tradition was revealed; the nomenclature of rhythmical forms was identified; accentual profi les were created; the data are presented in 25 tables. The research has shown that in lines of diff erent types the principle of regressive accentual dissimilation is observed, but in masculine lines dissimilation is more intense than in feminine lines. An important feature of the rhythm of spiritual poetry is the abundance of misplaced accents (emphatic syncopations). Taking into account the mobility of stress in folklore, I propose three models of rhythmical analysis. The fi rst model is based on the hypothesis of regular syncopations; the second one proposes the correction and exclusion of some cases of syncopations; the third one takes into account the regular shifts of stress to a metrically strong position, with elimination of all misplaced accents. As far as I could discover, an adequate characteristic of the rhythm of folklore verse does not require constant “fine tuning”. It is quite possible to use the basic model with checking the accentual variants by dictionaries.
Between Service To The King And The Black Legend
Authors: Serrano Larráyoz Fernando
Published: June 2022

At the trial of Jacques de Rue, the chamberlain of King Charles II of Navarre, after he was arrested in France (March 1378), we learn that the doctor Ángel de Costafort was implicated in several of the king of Navarre’s plans to poison people. The credibility of the testimonies given in this trial is questionable due to the use, or not, of torture, a fact about which historians disagree. Besides Costafort’s personal biography, constructed from the scant documentation conserved in the Royal and General Archive of Navarre (Pamplona, Spain), he is linked on the basis of his signature and personal seal to the practice of alchemy.
Il segnalamento del delinquente di Salvatore Ottolenghi

Published: June 2022

I dermatoglifi, essendo completamente diversi da un essere umano all’altro, segnalano la diversità umana. Per questo motivo, e per le loro caratteristiche di unicità, classificazione e inalterabilità, le creste papillari sulla punta delle dita rappresentano elementi di una sicura differenziazione tra una persona e l’altra. Di conseguenza, le impronte digitali sono molto utili nell’identificazione di un essere umano.Salvatore Ottolenghi fu il primo ad utilizzare il sistema di impronte digitali per identificare gli individui e introdusse questo sistema nel suo “Cartellino di riconoscimento” nel 1902. Essendo sicuro della validità scientifica di questo metodo, lo considerava libero da potenziale interpretazione personale. Secondo lui “le impronte digitali, per loro natura, formano disegni speciali dalla nascita; questi non cambieranno per tutta la vita e saranno assolutamente diversi da un essere umano a un altro”. Questo metodo di identificazione delle impronte digitali fu immediatamente perfezionato da Giovanni Gasti, scelto da Salvatore Ottolenghi come suo assistente personale presso la Scuola di Polizia Scientifica. Per questo motivo, il metodo è stato chiamato “Sistema Gasti (Sistema Gasti)”. Fu usato per tutto il Novecento.

Microscopic examination of sputum using the Ziehl-Neelsen stain is the gold standard for TuberculosisÂ (TB), but it must be performed by experts with special skills. The purpose of this study is to accelerateÂ the determination of the microscopic results using the Ziehl-Neelsen stain. This research is an experimental method in which the test sample is treated and the sputum sample is controlled with up to 25 samples. The method development is very important to increase the sensitivity and specificity of the results of TB examination using microscopes. This observation shows that the indirect cytospin method has a narrower reading range on a circle with a diameter of only 7 mm, making it easier for a bacterial count compared to the traditional direct method with a size of 2 x 3 cm oval shape.Â The results of the microscopic examination were 21 positive specimens and 4 negative specimens. Mycobacterium tuberculosis with Ziehl-Neelsen staining gave the same results with a sensitivity and specificity of 100%.

The Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) programs aim to improve the nutritional and health status, growth and development, and survival of children in Indonesia. Knowing the relationship between maternal factors and family factors in feeding infants and children under 6-23 months. This study used secondary data and analysis of the 2017 Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS). The research design used was an analytic observational design using a cross-sectional type to determine the relationship between maternal factors and family factors in feeding infants and toddlers 6-23 months. The sample used is 4869 with a minimum sample of 790 samples. The unit of analysis for this study was all children who were born alive from all live births from mothers who had children under five years of age 6-23 months and children who were born alive and were the last child of a mother who had already had a birth. Data analysis used univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analysis. Multivariate analysis using multivariate logistic regression. The results found that most of the children had the practice of IYCF not according to the recommendations (72.2%). Factors related to IYCF practices are a place of residence, socioeconomic, parity, mother's education, and mother's age, while the most dominant factor related to IYCF practice is socioeconomic. It is necessary to improve education, socialization, and movements toward families, so that the community, especially mothers with children aged 6-23 months.

Objectives. The study aimed to test the ethanol extracts of ten medicinal plants for xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity.

Methods. The degree of xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity was determined by measuring the absorbance spectrophotometrically at 290 nm, which is associated with uric acid formation. The selected medicinal plants included Piper lolot C.DC. (Piperaceae), Pandanus amaryllifolius R.(Pandanaceae), Brassica juncea L. (Brassicaceae), Piper betle L. (Piperaceae), Perilla frutescens L. (Lamiaceae), Anacardium occidentale L. (Anacardiaceae), Polygonum barbatum L. (Polygonaceae), Artocarpus Altilis P. (Moraceae), Vitex negundo L. (Verbenaceae), Annona squamosal L. (Annonaceae), which were selected based on folk medicine.

Results. The results showed that the Piper betle L. has a strong ability to inhibit xanthine oxidase with an IC50 value of up to 1.18 μg/mL, compared to allopurinol 1.57 μg/mL. Different parts of Piper betle L. were compared and the leaves of Piper betle L. showed the best value for xanthine oxidase inhibitory and antioxidant activity.

Conclusions. Piper betle L. showed the best potential for inhibition of xanthine oxidase among ten medicinal plants. Piper betle L. leaf extract showed strong xanthine oxidase inhibitory and antioxidant activity, compared to the whole plant, and the stem extract, which promises to be applied in the treatment of gout.

Objects. Due to the polymer waste accumulation, the search for new directions for their utilization is urgent. Chemical recycling methods are of considerable interest, which allow one to obtain the original monomers or change the compositions of the copolymers. From the point of view of building a circular economy, a promising material is polyethylene terephthalate (PET), on the basis of which amorphous copolyesters can be obtained. The study aimed to analyze the simultaneous glycolysis and interchain exchange reactions of PET in the presence of the oligoethylene phthalate modifier with hydroxyl end groups and the study of isothermal crystallization of poly(ethylene phthalate-co-terephthalates) with different phthalate contents obtained in this way.

Methods. Oligoethylene phthalate is synthesized by polycondensation. Poly(ethylene phthalateco-terephthalates) were obtained by the interaction of post-consumer PET with oligoethylene phthalate. The composition of the oligomer and copolymers was confirmed using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, thermal characteristics and crystallization half-times were determined by differential scanning calorimetry.

Results. In this work, the use of the post-consumer PET chemical recycling process, aimed at obtaining copolyesters under the influence of small modifier amounts was proposed. The process consisted in carrying out the combined interchain exchange and degradation with a complex oligoester different from PET. Poly(ethylene phthalate-co-terephthalate) copolymers were obtained via reaction of post-consumer poly(ethylene terephthalate) flakes and synthesized oligoethylene phthalate resin in the melt phase in the absence of catalyst. The effect of phthalate concentration in polymer on the isothermal crystallization of phthalate substituted poly(ethylene terephthalate) was estimated.

Conclusions. The hypothesis about the possibility of using an oligoester modifier to obtain the PET-based copolymer at the high rate and without reducing the molecular weight to values characteristic of a monomer or oligomer has been confirmed. The process can be used to obtain random copolyesters based on post-consumer PET. The phthalate unit concentration increase is followed by decrease in the glass transition temperature, temperature and heat of fusion, and increase in crystallization half-times. Phthalate has a better ability to retard PET crystallization than 2-methyl-1,3-propanediol or furandicarboxylic acid, but is inferior to some of the other modifiers known.

The alteration of the senses of taste and smell in relation to COVID-19 is a widely known phenomenon; however, this alteration has not been exhaustively characterized in the international literature. The following study is proposed with the aim of describing the alterations in the senses of taste and smell in relation to COVID-19 by means of their subjective evaluation. The nature of the study is observational, descriptive and cross-sectional, and was applied to patients who sought medical attention via remote consultations carried out on virtual platforms of the Service of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery of the Clínicas Hospital, San Lorenzo, between the months of March and October of 2021. We included 440 patients aged 31.3 ± 9.9 years (18 to 60 years), 308 (70%) female, 388 (88%) from urban areas, with evidence of infection by SARS-CoV-2 by RT-PCR in 260 (59%), predominantly without comorbidities 232 (53%), with fever as the most frequently reported symptom 352 (80%), treated more frequently with NSAIDs 208 (47%) and/or Paracetamol 216 (49%). Both taste and smell alterations in patients who have had COVID-19 have been shown to appear more frequently 1 to 7 days after the onset of symptoms (207 for smell, 184 for taste), occurring more frequently with a total decrease of both senses (anosmia 302 and ageusia 216), recovering completely in most cases (214 and 216) and within a period of 1 to 4 weeks (140 and 130).
