Left Facial Primary Leiomyosarcoma Misdiagnosed as Atypical Fibroxanthoma and Immunochemical Markers Relevant to Diagnosis: A Case Report
Authors:   Rowan-Virtua School of Osteopathic Medicine, Stratford, New Jersey, USA, Tran Emily , J. Park Jasmine , N. Kulkarni Nandini , S. Gundlapalli Vinay
Published: February 2024

Soft tissue sarcomas are relatively rare neoplasms of mesenchymal origin that generally make up less than 2% of all adult malignant neoplasms. Atypical fibroxanthoma is a benign soft tissue tumor often confused with malignant variants of similar tumors such as leiomyosarcoma due to similar staining markers and cell morphology. We report a case of a 70-year-old caucasian male who initially presented with a 2 cm exophytic left facial lesion that was misdiagnosed as atypical fibroxanthoma upon biopsy. The patient underwent a wide local excision of the growing 11 cm mass and immediate reconstruction with a cervicofacial flap and full thickness skin graft. Pathological analysis of the specimen revealed the final diagnosis as confirmed primary leiomyosarcoma. Both the patient’s biopsy report and the surgical pathology report revealed similar negative findings (desmin, cytokeratin AE1/AE3, p63, SOX10) as well as similar positive findings (smooth muscle actin and CD68). Critical distinctions that led to a change in diagnosis from atypical fibroxanthoma to leiomyosarcoma emerged during the final pathological analysis, which revealed more widespread positive staining for smooth muscle actin and muscle-specific actin throughout the surgical specimen along with detailed cell and nucleus morphology of atypical spindle cells in the dermis and subcutis. This valuable information was not available during the initial biopsy when the lesion was smaller. It is possible that earlier diagnosis of primary leiomyosarcoma could have resulted in advanced pre-operative treatment and excision of the facial lesion, preventing involvement of surrounding areas such as the patient’s left eye, ear, and facial nerve.
Endocrine Disorders and Preterm Labor
Authors: Zhabitska Lesia
Published: February 2024

Preterm labor remains one of the most important problems in obstetrics and a common public health problem. It should be noted, that a large group of diseases associated with the development of prematurity are endocrine disorders and the share of various forms of endocrine disorders in pregnancy is increasing. Research objective: to study the structure and frequency of endocrine disorders in women with preterm labor. Materials and methods. A retrospective study was conducted to study the structure and frequency of endocrine disorders in 2,426 women with preterm labor. The frequency of endocrine disorders assessed, such as hyperandrogenism (polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS), non-classic сongenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), Cushing’s syndrome), thyroid disorders (hypothyroidism, autoimmune thyroid disease, hyperthyroidism), hyperprolactinemia, diabetes mellitus, including gestational diabetes mellitus; hyperparathyroidism. Results. The study showed that endocrine disorders were observed in 37% of women with preterm labor (898 women out of 2,426 women with preterm labor). In particular, 364 (15%) women with preterm labor had diabetes mellitus, including gestational diabetes mellitus, 339 (13,8%) - PCOS, 170 (7%) - non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), 3 (0.12%) - Cushing's syndrome. Hyperprolactinaemia was observed in 267 (11%) women with preterm labor, and hyperparathyroidism - in 2 (0.08%) women with preterm labor. Thyroid disorders occurred in 582 (23,9%) women with preterm labor. Among women with preterm labor and thyroid disorders, the largest group was women with mild thyroid dysfunction, such as subclinical hypothyroidism, isolated hypothyroxinemia, or TPOAb positivity - 379 (65%) women out of 582 women with thyroid disorders. It is significant, that women with preterm labor most often had uncontrolled endocrine disorders, whether poorly controlled pre-conception or first diagnosed during pregnancy - 503 (56%) women out of 898 women with ED. Conclusions. The high frequency of endocrine disorders among women with preterm labor (37%), revealed in our study, indicates that today endocrine disorders remain an important factor in preterm labor. In addition, results of our study showed, that among women with preterm labor and thyroid disorders, the largest group was women with mild thyroid dysfunction. It also implies that it is important to actively plan to assess early gestational thyroid function tests in women known to have thyroid disorders preconception. It is significant, that women with preterm labor most often had uncontrolled endocrine disorders, whether poorly controlled pre-conception or first diagnosed during pregnancy. This should be considered when developing a strategy for the prevention of preterm labor and planning a pregnancy in women with endocrine disorders.
Diabetic Ketoacidosis Induced ‘Terrible Triad’ Associated With Seizures And Acute Renal Failure: A Rare Case Report
Authors: Kavathia Shrenil
Published: February 2024

We report a case of diabetic ketoacidosis with a severely elevated triglyceride level (25,585 mg/dL) complicated by acute pancreatitis, renal involvement, and generalized seizures. The proposed mechanism is triglyceride excess due to increased lipolysis, resulting in the formation of excess free fatty acids. A 17-year-old male patient came to the emergency department with abdominal pain, headaches for 2 days, lethargy, and Kussmaul breathing. Diabetic ketoacidosis with several complications was diagnosed. The objective of this case report is to present and describe the clinical features, laboratory investigations, case management, and natural course of hypertriglyceridemia in DKA.

From a structural model reliability and validity five allusive dimensional perceptions of economic opportunity, financial, settled in sales, social and environmental. E l fourth factor reflected the construct, followed by the first and the fifth factor. Based on the theoretical and conceptual frameworks, the study of the entrepreneurial perception in vulnerable groups that are dedicated to the sale of coffee as a subsistence style is proposed. The findings allow us to establish a link between the rational choice theory and the theory of human capital with respect to the theory of the commons and the theory of social entrepreneurship as conceptual frameworks to highlight the intervention.
Сленгові неологізми в українському комунікативному полі періоду російсько-української війни
Authors: Павлушенко Ольга
Published: February 2024

Introduction. The article presents the results of a study of slang neologisms that appeared in the Ukrainian communicative field of social networks Facebook, YouTube, and Telegram during the full-scale Russian-Ukrainian war.
Purpose. The purpose of the proposed article is to analyze word-formation models of slang neologisms.
Methods. The research methods constituted a complete system, which combined in sequential application the interpretative and analytical method (at the stage of processing scientific sources in the direction of the selected linguistic problem), contextual analysis (at the stage of delineating the semantic volume of new lexical units in the colloquial and everyday speech of Ukrainians), word-formation analysis (at the stage of determining the derivational models of the investigated lexemes), statistical method (at the stage of structuring the analyzed lexical group in a quantitative dimension), descriptive method (at the stage of systematization of the obtained research results), theoretical generalization method (at the stage of formulating conclusions and research perspectives).
Results. The proposed study analyzed lexical innovations within the scope of lexical- semantic, morpheme, lexical-syntactic and abbreviation derivation. Attention is paid to such a type of lexical-syntactic word formation as holophrase, which became active in Ukrainian colloquial speech during the period under study. Their semantics was clarified in all cases of discovered new lexical units.
Originality. The empirical material covered by the study most fully represents slang neologisms that were recorded in the Ukrainian segment of Facebook, YouTube, Telegram from 2022 to 2023.
Conclusion. In the space of web resources, new phenomena of the Ukrainian language of the future are being formed today. The lack of censorship and linguistic correction contribute to the emergence of lexical neologisms, which objectify not only the conceptual essence of the national worldview, but also its emotional plane. The activation of word-forming resources affirms the vital energy of the Ukrainian language, its inner strength and invincible desire for development.
Мовно-естетична репрезентація образу сонцев поезії Євгена Маланюка
Authors: Гоцинець Ірина
Published: February 2024

Introduction. The research deals with the functional and semantic analysis of figurative structures with the name of the celestial body the sun, which are recorded in the poetic texts of Yevhen Malaniuk and are components of his individual picture of the world.
The purpose of the article is to trace the peculiarities of linguistic and aesthetic representation of images of celestial bodies in the language of Yevhen Malaniuk.
The article uses the methods of lexical-semantic, component and contextual analysis, the method of of textual identification, as well as functional-stylistic and interpretive-textual analysis.
Results. The associative and figurative connections of the nomination, which are relevant for the author's idiostyle, are identified and characterized, the mechanisms of its linguistic aestheticization in tropic structures – epithetical, metaphorical, comparative – are traced. These structures are differentiated according to their content and expressive and expressive parameters. The active individual-authorial renewal of the associative-figurative relations of the analyzed nomination sun in the poetic texts of Yevhen Malaniuk is noted.
Conclusions of the study and prospects for further research in this area. The recorded and analyzed figurative structures with the name of the celestial body sun confirm the stylistic status of this nomination as an important component of Yevhen Malaniuk's individual linguistic and poetic picture of the world. The analysis of the tropic development of the image of the sun gives grounds to assert the tangible influence of European modernism (in particular, expressionism) on the formation of the author's figurative and aesthetic system, as well as the continuity of the traditions of national literature. It is important that the reliance on semantic and structural prototypes established in the national literature in the poetry of Yevhen Malaniuk is organically combined with the search for innovative, individually authorial means of verbalizing thought. It is indicated that the prospect of the study is connected with the need for an in-depth study of the semantic and associative potential of the sun nomination and, more broadly, the names of celestial bodies in poetic texts and the establishment of regularities of their contextual figurative, aesthetic and expressive development in the idiostyles of Ukrainian authors.

A narrative about the Defense of Muslim Sacred Space in Arab Folklore of the Modern Era
Authors: Sokolov O. A.
Published: February 2024

For many centuries, the history of the Levant and Arabia have been marked by the conflicts for control of sacred spaces between representatives of various faiths, and this confrontation continues to this day. One of the most intense periods of this struggle was the era of the Crusades, the study of the memory of which in folklore sources is an important scientific task. Of significant interest in this case is the narrative about the defense of Muslim sacred space, which developed in the socalled Arabic Folk Epics. Although the threat to sacred space in this type of sources often comes not from the Franks (ifranj), but from the Byzantines (rūm), and the action itself in some monuments takes place in pre-Islamic times, the whole complex of stories about the threat to sacred space in Folk Epics can be considered an echo of the Crusades. The Franks and Byzantines in the Epics regularly threaten both Jerusalem and Mecca. It can also be assumed with a high degree of confidence that, thanks to the great popularity of Folk Epics in the Modern Era, the idea of a European threat to Muslim sacred space survived in the collective memory of the Arabs of Egypt and the Levant until the 19th century.

Climate as a determining factor in the economic development of the Middle East on the example of Medieval Iraq in the 10th century
Authors: Mishina Z. K.
Published: February 2024

A comprehensive study of the socio-economic relations in medieval Muslim society started late. This fact is evidenced by the limited number of researches related to this aspect of public life in the Middle East in the Middle Ages. In particular, modern researchers do not have sufϐicient data on the economic life of the region in the research period. The article analyzes the inϐluence of climatic conditions on the economic development of Iraq and as a consequence the entire ‘Abbasid state during the crisis of the 10th century. The paper describes in detail the natural disasters (ϐloods, hurricanes, earthquakes, droughts and others) that overtook the region in the 10th century, as well as their economic consequences.
On topoi in Arab Islamic historiography
Authors: Frantsouzoff S. A.
Published: February 2024

In the article the presence of topoi in early Arab Islamic historiography is substantiated for the ϐirst time. They are considered in the sense given to this term in literary criticism, i.e. as repetitive motives of folklore origin that were recorded in written form. For an example the author took the plot of surrender of a city (fortress) according to an agreement, in which the names of those who received mercy were enumerated, but the commander who concluded it forgot to inscribe there his name. At ϐirst the use of that topos is examined with regard to the capture of the city of Susa in Khuzestan by the Muslims (on the basis of the reports by al-Dīnawarī, al-Balādhurī and Ibn A‘tham al-Kūϐī and of their interpretations by Aliy I. Kolesnikov and Oleg G. Bolshakov). Then the same motive is analyzed in the tale about surrender of the fortress of al-Nudjayr which put the end to the “War of Apostasy” in Ḥaḍramawt. The assumption is made that Arab Islamic historians turned to topoi in order to make the narrative more entertaining and to ϐill up the lack of real information.

Authors: Arsenev M. N.
Published: February 2024

Abu-l-Ḥasan ‘Alī ibn Sulaymān al-Muqaddasī was a Karaite grammarian, lexicographer and exegete, who lived and worked in Egypt during the second half of the 11th cent. Several of his autographs / holographs and texts copied by him are preserved in the Second Firkovich collection of the National Library of Russia. This article sheds light on three manuscripts housed in its Evr.-Arab. I part. They contain abridgments of other Karaite scholars’ works made by ‘Alī ibn Sulaymān: 1) Kitа̄b al-anvа̄r va-l-marа̄qib by Abū Yūsuf Yaʻqūb Qirqisа̄nī (Ms. Evr-arab. I 1986); 2) Tafsīr al-alfа̄ẓ by Abū-l-Faraj Hа̄rūn (Ms. Evr-arab. I 4422); 3) Abridgment of the Yūsuf ibn Nūḥ’s commentary on the Torah by Hа̄rūn (Ms. Evr-arab. I 4423). They have never been fully described before and the ϐirst two have never been mentioned in the lists of his extant works. We summed up the features of his holographs based on their full descriptions, which might be helpful for future identifying of his holographs.

The article is devoted to the description of the manuscripts which include the writings of Dagestani authors found in the collection of the Institute of Oriental Manuscripts of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The authors of the article have compiled a catalog with these manuscripts from the fund of Muslim manuscripts which contains the title of the work in Arabic with transliteration into Russian, the author, the format of the manuscript, the number of lines and sheets in it, the subject, the date of correspondence, the scribe and the place of correspondence, if possible, to determine, as well as additional information about the manuscript, including paleographic. The study based on the materials of the catalog of A. B. Khalidov: the writings were identiϐied, re-examined, and described in more detailed way. In the collection of the Institute the writings authored by Sa‘id Arakani (al-Harakani) (1763–1834), Idris-afandi from Andirei (d. 1874), Hasan al-Alqadari (1834–1910) and many others were found.

Authors: Grouchevoy A. G.
Published: February 2024

The Mixed Council is an especial form of political interaction of Christians with ofϐicials and diplomats of Ottoman and Russian Empires. The Council was formed in equal numbers form the representatives of hierarchs and seculars. The Council existed in all regions of Ottoman empire inhabited by Christian population. The sources show that the Mixed Council created in order and control all school Institutions as also the schools process was ϐirstly created in the Antioch patriarchy under the pressure of famous diplomat N.P. Ignatieff who was Russian ambassador in Constantinople in 1864–1877 years. The Mixed Council was considered also as a possibility to diminish or even to avoid the inner conϐlicts of Christian population in Syria and Palestine. The active participation of Russian empire in the inner problems of Christian patriarchates may easily be explained by the volume of ϐinancial investments of Russian Empire/ 80% of budget of Jerusalem patriarchate and 30% of Antiochene patriarchy was composed from the money of Russian origin.
Translation of the chapter On the word of God Almighty (glory to Him!)” from the treatise of Nasir Khusraw Six Chapters” (Shish fasl)
Authors: Korneyeva T. G.
Published: February 2024

The article is devoted to the role of the Word of God in the process of creation of the world according to Ismaili ideas. God, according to the Ismaili philosophers, is transcendent and indescribable, so it is impossible not to attribute any attributes to Him, nor to deny their presence in Him. However, the creationist concept embedded in the text of the Koran demanded from Ismaili thinkers a rational explanation of how the cognizable plural emerged from the transcendent One. At the beginning of the 10th century, Abu'l-Hasan Muhammad B. Ahmad an-Nasafi adapted Neoplatonic ideas to Ismaili postulates, and later Abu Ya'qub al-Sijistani, Nasir Khusraw and partly Hamid al-Din al-Kirmani developed an-Nasafi's views. Nasir Khusraw (1004 — after 1074) paid much attention to the role of the Word of God in the act of creation, endowed it with being and made it the cause of Universal Reason. Readers are offered a translation of the chapter from the treatise of Nasir Khusraw “Six Chapters” (Shish Fasl), dedicated to the word of God and his role in the creation of the universe.
About Avicennа’s modification of Aristotelian hylemorphism: immaterialization of the human soul
Authors: Efremova N. V.
Published: February 2024

The article continues our study of the reception of aristotelian psychology in the philosophy of the greatest thinker of classical Islam — Ibn Sina (Avicenna, 980– 1037), which has been begun in this journal (2021, No. 4). Endowing aristotelism with an immortological dimension, the Muslim philosopher transforms hylemorphism into entelechism, justiϐies the substantiality of the soul, its incorporeality and incorruptibility. In avicennian reconstruction of aristotelian treatise “On the Soul” primary attention is paid to criticism of the opinions on the soul as harmony or mixture, as well as to the interpretation of Stagirite’s thesis about the non-magnitudeness of mind in a sense of assertion about soul’s immateriality resulting from its status as a substratum of intelligibles. The article also highlights Ibn-Sina’s modiϐication of the relevant statements regarding the organs of the rational soul.
Invocation of God in the formal structure of letters in Ferdowsi’s Shah-nameh
Authors: Lahuti S. V.
Published: February 2024

Invocation of God opens more than 60 letters in Abulqasim Ferdowsi’s Shahnameh (10–11cс.). It constitutes a part of a letter’s formal structure along with benedictions, salutation, etc. In some cases, the invocation is merely mentioned, in others it is presented in full, in up to 16 lines. Invocations of God mention God’s actions towards the sender or recipient of a letter, towards humanity in general, and towards the world, as well as God’s attributes and power over the universe. Then it can morph into an expression of gratitude or be followed by another part of the formal structure, usually a benediction, or by the main body of the letter. The specifics and the length of such invocations set them apart from other parts of the letter’s formal structure, as they are the only parts that deviate considerably from Sasanian as well as Arabo-Persian epistolary traditions. The paper deals with the methods by which the invocations of God are introduced in the text of the poem, principal themes of such invocations, and their role in the formal structure of a letter and in Shah-nameh in general.

Authors: Odhano Qurban Ali , Mari Dildar Ali , Hassan Noreen
Published: February 2024

With the complexity of individual projects, the need for coordination units in project organizationb becomes more important. With the involvement of various stakeholders, projects become more complex and require increased integration and communication. In order to achieve the overall strategic goals of the organization, the PMO as well as the organizational practices must follow the concept of sustainability in their process framework to meet the requirements of the project while minimizing work rework in project activities. Scope creep and poor execution of the project plan can lead to potential project failure. To avoid such failures and achieve the strategic goals of the organization, the need for a centralized system within the organization can ultimately be met through the establishment of a project management office. The study is still in its early stages, but it highlights the responsibilities of the PMO, the structure and levels of the newly created office, and the need for and challenges of establishing a PMO.

There is no significant difference in low achiever and high achiever students in learning science when using an interactive smart board; there is no significant difference in low achiever and high achiever students in learning science when using a traditional whiteboard. A pre-test and post-test control group design was used. There were 66 students, and the control and experimental groups were selected using a random assignment. A 30-item test was created and administered as a pre-test and post-test. The analysis provided concrete evidence that the interactive smart board was superior to the conventional whiteboard for the learning and development experience.
University Teachers and Moonlighting Payments in Northern Pakistan
Authors: Jehan Noor , Nawaz Fahim
Published: February 2024

There are studies on moonlighting, but literature on moonlighting wages and its determinants is scarce. To know the factors that influence the secondary job payments in government higher education institutions, I took a sample from all the public sector universities in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Pakistan in multi-stages with a total of 656 teachers. I have collected data from all 656 teachers and separated the sample who was undertaking second jobs or jobs. The activity of keeping a second job is mostly hidden which could only be revealed in an anonymous survey. The model was estimated in ordinary least square linear modelling. However, after solving many specification and BLUE requirements, certain linearity and normality issues could not be resolved, so generalized linear modelling was applied. Results reveal that location, age, hours of work at the second job, and job grades affect secondary job payment significantly. The study suggests cross-occupation studies in continuation of this research.

The study collected 10,000 Instagram posts utilizing the hashtag “old”, as this social media platform is primarily used by the generation of 2030. For the analysis, we employed techniques such as Term Frequency (TF) and Term Frequency Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF) analysis, LDA(Latent Dirichlet Allocation) topic modeling, and semantic network analysis. Results show that aging anxiety in the 2030 generation is primarily observed in six areas, namely the mental, physical, occupational, social, familial, and parenting domains. The most pronounced aging anxiety for the 2030 generation was identified in the mental domain. Furthermore, the 2030 generation commonly harbors concerns about midlife social relationships, the fear of facing changes, and apprehensions related to caregiving labor. Based on these research findings, we have outlined the experience of aging anxiety within the 2030 generation and provided strategies to alleviate it.
ANALYSIS OF METRICS FOR GAN EVALUATION

Generative-adversarial networks have become quite popular in recent years. In general, these networks are based on convolutional neural networks used in classification problems. In recent years, researchers have proposed and developed many variations of GAN network architectures and techniques for their optimization, as the learning process is quite complex and unstable. Despite great theoretical advances in improving network data, evaluating and comparing GANs remains a challenge. Although several metrics have been introduced to evaluate these networks, there is currently no consensus on which metrics best reflect the strengths and limitations of models and should be used to compare models and evaluate synthesized images. This paper discusses the two most popular metrics, Inception Score (IS) and Frechet Inception Distance (FID), which are used to estimate GAN networks.

Because these metrics are based on a pre-built Google Inception model used as a classifier for IS metrics and a feature extractor for FID metrics, the goal is to develop a program module to compare metric data using the base model (Inception) and custom models.

The scientific novelty is that these metrics were first used to compare cytological images using a model different from the one proposed by the authors - Google Inception.

The practical significance of the work is the development of a software module for calculating metric data for GAN networks used for the synthesis of cytological images.

 As a result, two basic models (BioCNN-1 and BioCNN-2) and a Python module for calculating IS and FID metrics for cytological images were developed. The developed module works with color images with a resolution of 64 x 64 pixels. Comparisons of metrics based on the base model and the developed models for estimating GAN networks for cytological image synthesis were compared.

It was shown that the metrics based on the developed models show better results The FID score reduced from 31.20 to 0.034 and the IS score increased from 3.52 to 3.81. A total metric calculation time reduced from 2 minutes to 15 seconds.

Published: February 2024

Background:

Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) disproportionately impact Latinx and other communities of color in the United States. The challenges for patients with ADRD and their informal caretakers can be attributed, in part, to the gaps that exist within health care services and systems.

Objective:

To understand the perspectives of barriers, beliefs, knowledge, and needs for the Latinx informal caregivers that take care of relatives with ADRD in the Upstate of South Carolina, region of Appalachia.

Methods:

This study was approved by the GHS-Prisma Health and Clemson University IRB, Study #Pro00086707. In-depth phone interviews were conducted with a sample of Latinx informal caregivers. A descriptive and interpretive phenomenological approach was used for analysis. Participants were recruited through community partnerships with local organizations.

Results:

Salient themes identified in this study included the relevance of caregiver’s degree of awareness about the disease and a perspective of Alzheimer’s disease as a progressive and degenerative disease. Critical moments identified encompassed challenges related to patient engagement with the outside world, their attitudes, and behaviors, as well as caregiver-related challenges with access to culturally and linguistically relevant resources needed to provide proper care. Caregivers identified several culturally relevant coping strategies used and motivators in providing care for their relatives with ADRD.

Conclusions:

Linguistically and culturally sensitive programs and resources that account for knowledge, assets, and needs of Latinx informal caregivers of ADRD patients are needed to improve the quality of care and decrease disparities in health outcomes for Latinx older adults.

Background: The efficacy of vitamin E in prevention of diabetes-related complications differs by Haptoglobin (Hp) genotype. Objective: To examine the role of Hp genotype in the relationship of vitamin E intake with brain volume in cognitively normal elderly patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods: Brain volumes for the superior, middle, and inferior frontal gyri and for the middle temporal gyrus were generated from structural T1 MRI in 181 study participants (Hp 1-1: n = 24, Hp 2-1: n = 77, Hp 2-2: n = 80). Daily vitamin E intake was assessed using the Food Frequency Questionnaire. Analyses of covariance, controlling for demographic and cardiovascular variables was used to evaluate whether the association of daily vitamin E intake with brain volume was modified by Hp genotype. Results: Average age was 70.8 (SD = 4.2) with 40% females, and mean Mini-Mental State Examination score of 28.17 (SD = 1.90). A significant interaction was found between vitamin E intake and Hp genotype in inferior frontal gyrus’ volume; p = 0.0108. For every 1 microgram increase in vitamin E intake, the volume of the inferior frontal gyrus decreased by 0.955% for Hp 1-1 (p = 0.0348), increased by 0.429% for Hp 2-1 (p = 0.0457), and by 0.077% for Hp 2-2 (p = 0.6318). There were no significant interactions between vitamin E intake and Hp genotype for the middle (p = 0.6011) and superior (p = 0.2025) frontal gyri or for the middle temporal gyrus (p = 0.503). Conclusions: The effect of dietary vitamin E on the brain may differ by Hp genotype. Studies examining the impact of vitamin E on brain-related outcomes should consider Hp genotype.

Background: Excess weight in adulthood leads to health complications such as diabetes, hypertension, or dyslipidemia. Recently, excess weight has also been related to brain atrophy and cognitive decline. Reports show that obesity is linked with Alzheimer’s disease (AD)-related changes, such as cerebrovascular damage or amyloid-β accumulation. However, to date no research has conducted a direct comparison between brain atrophy patterns in AD and obesity. Objective: Here, we compared patterns of brain atrophy and amyloid-β/tau protein accumulation in obesity and AD using a sample of over 1,300 individuals from four groups: AD patients, healthy controls, obese otherwise healthy individuals, and lean individuals. Methods: We age- and sex-matched all groups to the AD-patients group and created cortical thickness maps of AD and obesity. This was done by comparing AD patients with healthy controls, and obese individuals with lean individuals. We then compared the AD and obesity maps using correlation analyses and permutation-based tests that account for spatial autocorrelation. Similarly, we compared obesity brain maps with amyloid-β and tau protein maps from other studies. Results: Obesity maps were highly correlated with AD maps but were not correlated with amyloid-β/tau protein maps. This effect was not accounted for by the presence of obesity in the AD group. Conclusion: Our research confirms that obesity-related grey matter atrophy resembles that of AD. Excess weight management could lead to improved health outcomes, slow down cognitive decline in aging, and lower the risk for AD.
Magnetic Nanocomposites for Removal of Arsenic from Water

Published: February 2024

Arsenic significantly impacts human health and the environment and its removal from wastewater is still difficult. Magnetic nanoparticles have come to light as a viable arsenic remediation technique, providing a fresh and long-lasting water purification method. This study investigates the use of magnetic nanoparticles to remove arsenic by concentrating on their adsorption mechanism, kinetics, potential for adsorption, recovery, and promising use of this method in the future. Due to the extensive surface area and variable surface chemistry of magnetic nanoparticles, they can effectively adsorb arsenic from water sources. Because their magnetic properties simplify separation and regeneration, they may be used again with little to no efficiency loss. As a result, they reduce trash output by providing an ecologically acceptable alternative to traditional adsorbents. The present study also examines the kinetics and adsorption process of magnetic nanoparticles, emphasising their improved selectivity and capacity for adsorption. Due to these characteristics, the authors were able to successfully remove arsenic from wastewater, resulting in better water quality and decreased health hazards after exposure to arsenic. Additionally, the potential applications of magnetic nanoparticles in removing arsenic have been highlighted. It is envisaged that advances in material science and nanotechnology will create unique magnetic nanoparticles with even better performance. Combining hybrid materials and surface alterations can increase their effectiveness in wastewater treatment settings.

Published: February 2024

Records of precipitation and soil temperature, two of the most significant climatic elements impacting vegetation cover, were gathered as annual and monthly data over a period of 20 years from the European Center for Long-term Numerical Weather Forecasts. The goal of this study was to ascertain the impact of plant cover on climatic variations. The study’s final findings revealed that Mosul station had the greatest value of vegetation at 0.24 and Basra station had the lowest value at 0.15. The Mosul station recorded the maximum amount of precipitation, 1400 mm in the northern and central parts during the winter, and the lowest amount, 8 mm, during the fall and summer months in the districts west of the Rutba station. Using the Pearson test, it was discovered that the relationship between vegetation cover and soil temperature is inverse, and this, in turn, plays a significant role in the lack of vegetation cover in the southern regions because of nature. The desert of the region, as well as the lack of precipitation and high temperatures, is responsible for the region’s lack of vegetation. The highest value reached by the soil temperature was in the year 2018 at the Basra station.
