Published: July 2024

Mastitis is a problem associated with mammary gland and results in drop in milk production. The significance is more in milch animals as milk is the primary product. Use of antibiotics for treating mastitis is not only adds to expenses but also raises the concern of antimicrobial resistance among the consumers. Use of nano-minerals may be a good alternative for treating mastitis in domestic animals. Nano-minerals can be defined as minerals of 1-100 nm range. The nano-minerals have unique properties as compared to their counterparts. Due to the biocidal properties, mineral nanoparticles of Ag, Au, Se, Cu, Zn, etc., in the diet as feed additive can control or reduce the subclinical mastitis, and thus can be a potential alternative of antibiotics. The nano-minerals act efficiently against mastitis causing agents, thanks to their anti-microbial, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory properties. Though the results are encouraging, use of nano-minerals as a preventive and curative to subclinical mastitis is in its infancy. Further studies are warranted to validate the route of administration and evaluate its efficacy in long-term use in varied animal species. Moreover, the side effects of application of nano-minerals have to be studied before recommending in commercial scale.

Authors: Dokoohaki Roya , Ebrahimzadeh Malihe , Sharifi Nasrin
Published: July 2024

Background: One of the most dangerous complications after endotracheal intubation or tracheostomy is tracheal stenosis. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the personal and clinical characteristics of tracheal stenosis following intubation or tracheostomy in intensive care unit patients. Methods: This is a nested case-control study. Thirty-five patients who suffered from tracheal stenosis from March 2016 to March 2021 and had been intubated and tracheostomized in intensive care units (ICU) were selected for the case group. The control group included 105 patients intubated and tracheostomized in ICU during the same period without tracheal stenosis. A demographic and clinical characteristics questionnaire was used to collect data from the patients' medical records. Results: The mean length of intubation (P < 0.001), endotracheal and tracheostomy tube cuff pressure (P < 0.001), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (P = 0.043), intubation history (P = 0.045), and airway management (P < 0.001) showed significant differences between the case and control groups. The logistic regression model revealed that COPD (OR = 8.519, P = 0.037), intubation history (OR = 3.939, P = 0.013), length of intubation (OR = 1.118, P = 0.003), age (OR = 0.960, P = 0.030), and endotracheal and tracheostomy tube cuff pressure (OR = 1.988, P < 0.001) were associated with tracheal stenosis. The time interval between intubation/tracheostomy ranged from approximately 28 to 938 days. Conclusions: Given the impact of certain care practices during hospitalization on the occurrence of tracheal stenosis, such as the mean length of intubation, endotracheal and tracheostomy tube cuff pressure, and airway management, it is recommended that standardized training on these interventions be prioritized for staff in intensive care departments. Additionally, attention must be given to specific patient characteristics, such as age, COPD, and history of intubation.

Algoritmizované rozhodování znamená převod části aplikace a interpretace práva do formy algoritmů. Formální reprezentace práva v algoritmech se uplatní zejména v jednoduchých (triviálních) případech, které při aplikaci vykazují prvky stereotypu a vystačí si s mechanickou aplikací, tj. nevyžadují prakticky žádnou dodatečnou lidskou představivost. Na praktických případech se snažíme demonstrovat, že v určitých typech případů (triviálních) lze obsáhnout všechny relevantní skutkové a právní okolnosti pro rozhodování do formální struktury (např. do sady otázek v checklistu), a tím redukovat právo na mechanickou aplikaci. Příspěvek vymezuje okruh právních otázek – triviálních otázek, které by bylo možné bez rizika podřídit algoritmizaci. Triviální právní otázka je složena z absolutních, binárních nebo faktických dat.

Script modification in late medieval Ireland: a case-study of Tadhg Ua Ríghbhardáin (fl. 1470s)
Authors: Kobel Chantal
Published: July 2024

This article presents a palaeographical and codicological examination of RIA MS 3 B 22 and RIA MS 3 B 23, two fifteenth-century volumes thought to have originally belonged together, written by Tadhg Ua Ríghbhardáin. RIA MS 3 B 23 contains a copy of The Monastery of Tallaght and an interpolated copy of Apgitir Chrábaid, both of which display certain palaeographical ‘peculiarities’ not found elsewhere in either manuscript volume. According to Gwynn and Purton (1911–12), these ‘peculiarities’ were probably copied from an exemplar. It is argued here, however, that these ‘peculiarities’ were introduced by Ua Ríghbhardáin himself and that he was assisted by another scribe who also employed unique palaeographical features. It is shown that Ua Ríghbhardáin deviated from his typical graphic repertoire and consciously modified his script when copying these texts. An overview of script modification in medieval Ireland is offered first, outlining the sources from which letterform variations were derived and the purpose for which scribes used them. This is followed by a palaeographical study of Ua Ríghbhardáin’s main scribal characteristics and, in turn, the ‘peculiarities’ employed by him and his assistant. Lastly, palaeographical and codicological features in the two manuscripts are reconsidered and it is suggested that they may not have been associated until much later in their history, contrary to previous suggestions that the two originally formed a single codex.

A new species of Paranerilla Jouin & Swedmark, 1965 (Annelida: Polychaeta) from Brazil
Authors: Mendes Samuel Lucas da Silva Delgado , Rodrigues Jaqueline Carvalho , Rizzo Alexandra E.
Published: July 2024

Nerillids are small marine annelids, once placed at the artificial group ‘Archiannelida’, which contained all families of the exclusively interstitial polychaetes. Nerillidae is the most species rich family among them, with 71 species grouped into 15 genera, and represents an important component of the interstitial fauna, occupying a wide bathymetric range. Despite its problematic placement among the ‘Archiannelida’ families, the group per se is considered monophyletic. Currently, only two species of Paranerilla are valid, both being reported from the northern hemisphere. It is presented herein as the first description of a species of Paranerilla from tropical waters, named as Paranerilla schiavettii sp. nov., which is also considered as a unique record by the presence of a modified acicular spine in noto- and neuropodia from chaetiger 3–7, not mentioned in its congeners descriptions. Hence, we also propose an emendation on the genus diagnosis to embrace the presence of acicular spines within Paranerilla. So, the presented information complements the current knowledge about the group’s taxonomy and expands its distribution to South Atlantic waters.
Network-based Multi-omics Disease–Drug Associations Reveal Drug Repurposing Candidates for Covid-19 Disease Phases

Published: July 2024

Background

The development and rollout of vaccines and the use of various drugs have contributed to controlling the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic. Nevertheless, challenges such as the inequitable distribution of vaccines, the influence of emerging viral lineages and immunoevasive variants on vaccine efficacy, and the inadequate immune defense in subgroups of the population continue to motivate the development of new drugs to combat the disease.

Aim

In this study, we sought to identify, prioritize, and characterize drug repurposing candidates appropriate for treating mild, moderate, or severe Covid-19 using a network-based integrative approach that systematically integrates drug-related data and multi-omics datasets.

Methods

We leveraged drug data and multi-omics data and used a random walk with restart algorithm to explore an integrated knowledge graph comprising three subgraphs: (i) a Covid-19 knowledge graph, (ii) a drug repurposing knowledge graph, and (iii) a Covid-19 disease state-specific omics graph.

Results

We prioritized 20 US Food and Drug Administration-approved agents as potential candidate drugs for mild, moderate, and severe Covid-19 disease phases. Specifically, drugs that could stimulate immune cell recruitment and activation including histamine, curcumin, and paclitaxel have potential utility in mild disease states to mitigate disease progression. Drugs like omacetaxine, crizotinib, and vorinostat that exhibit antiviral properties and have the potential to inhibit viral replication can be considered for mild to moderate Covid-19 disease states. Also, given the association between antioxidant deficiency and high inflammatory factors that trigger cytokine storms, antioxidants like glutathione can be considered for moderate disease states. Drugs that exhibit potent anti-inflammatory effects like (i) anti-inflammatory drugs (sarilumab and tocilizumab), (ii) corticosteroids (dexamethasone and hydrocortisone), and (iii) immunosuppressives (sirolimus and cyclosporine) are potential candidates for moderate to severe disease states that trigger a hyperinflammatory cascade of Covid-19.

Conclusion

Our study demonstrates that the multi-omics data-driven integrative analysis within the drug data enables prioritizing drug candidates for Covid-19 disease phases, offering a comprehensive basis for therapeutic strategies that can be brought to market quickly given their established safety profiles. Importantly, the multi-omics data-driven integrative analysis within the drug data approach implemented here can be used to prioritize drug repurposing candidates appropriate for other diseases.
Using Interventional Pharmacoeconomic Clinical Trials and Outcomes-Based Contracts to Repurpose Generic Drugs with Cost-Savings
Authors: Kerdemelidis Savvas
Published: July 2024

The inability to enforce a monopoly price over low-cost therapies, such as repurposed generic drugs by using patents for new medical uses, means that pharmaceutical companies are not interested to develop these potentially lifesaving therapies, even if clinical trials would be significantly cheaper. With the cost of new drugs increasing unsustainably, new financial models are needed that can incentivize the development of such low-cost therapies, by leveraging the cost-savings they generate for payors. For example, by conducting a trial comparing a low-cost generic drug to an expensive patented drug, the cost-savings from patients taking a low-cost therapy rather than an expensive drug during the trial itself can exceed the cost of running the clinical trial, which means it is “self-funding,” while also potentially improving patient outcomes due to better safety, efficacy, convenience, or accessibility. This is referred to as “interventional pharmacoeconomics” or a “revolving research fund” and allows the sponsorship of clinical trials that can be entirely funded by payors. “Prize-like” outcomes-based contracts or advance market commitments can also be combined with such self-funding trials to incentivize obtaining regulatory approval and solve the “last-mile” problem. Self-funding trials can provide significant cost-savings for payors without financial risk. This article illustrates a four-step process for conducting such self-funding trials and other ethical, commercial, political, and legal barriers that need to be overcome in order to scale this novel and practically unlimited source of funding for the development of low-cost therapies.

Authors: Alabid Baha , Odeh Anas , Bani Salem Moath , AbuHaltem Omar , Al-ayyat Haitham
Published: July 2024

Abstract: Acute kidney injury is a common problem in the critically ill patient. It is often part of the multi system organ failure syndrome where other organs such as the lungs are involved. In the critically ill patient, primary pathology in one organ can affect other organs, and systemic illness can affect both at the same time. In this review article, we closely examine the definition and stages of dysfunction in lungs and kidneys and the relationship between the physiology and pathology of these two organs as they interact and affect each other in the critically ill patient. We also seek to understand the effects common intensive care units interventions have on both those organs, with a special emphasis on external life support devices such as mechanical ventilation, dialysis and extracorporeal membranous oxygenation.

Published: July 2024

In today's highly competitive market, the packaging of a product is a very important factor in influencing the purchasing decisions of potential buyers. There was an increase in the overall level of competition that existed between the various packaged items. This is due to the fact that the product packaging has a considerable impact on the intention of the buyer to make a purchase. The purpose of this study is to investigate, among students at one of the institutions in Malaysia, the influence that product packaging has on the intention to make a purchase of the product. A quantitative approach was used and a total of 331 respondents who were randomly selected from the populations. This paper used various types of analysis, including descriptive analysis, frequency analysis, reliability analysis, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis, were utilised. All analyses were developed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) software. The findings demonstrate that all hypotheses were accepted. According to the findings, the colour of the product packaging, the type of material used in the packaging, the design of the packaging, the size and shape of the packaging, and the purchaser's purpose to make a purchase all play a role in the consumer's decision to make a purchase.

Published: July 2024

Concern has been expressed by people living in all parts of Malaysia regarding the high number of traffic accidents. This study demonstrates that a mix of human qualities may be responsible for the increase in the accident rate experienced by motorcyclists while they are travelling on public roadways. There is a possibility that human factors, such as riding anger, riding attitude, and a lack of mindfulness, are the most common causes of motorcycle accidents. Research on the frequency of traffic accidents in Malaysia is still in its preliminary stages. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the association between riding anger, riding attitude, mindful driving, and the likelihood of being involved in a road accident. This investigation makes use of a quantitative methodology by means of a questionnaire that is disseminated to customers who are shopping at licenced Yamaha dealers in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor. The findings of structural equation modelling indicate that factors such as riding anger, riding attitude, and mindfulness have a significant impact on the likelihood of being involved in a road accident. The explanation of the current study, which includes both theoretical and practical relevance, as well as suggestions for reducing the number of accidents involving people who use roads, is presented here.

Detecting Earning Manipulation Using the Beneish M-Score Model: Evidence from Public Listed Companies in Malaysia
Authors: Leslie Boni  , Kamaluddin Amrizah , Kusumaningtias Rohmawati
Published: July 2024

This paper aims to examine the association between earning manipulation using the Beneish M-Score Model and share price with market capitalisation as the control variable among public listed companies (PLCs) in Malaysia. The study was performed over a four-year period from 2017 to 2020 using the financial data of 65 PLCs under the Financial Times Stock Exchange (FTSE) Bursa Malaysia Top 100 Index, including various industries except the financial service industry. The Beneish M-Score Model comprised eight variables or ratios to identify earning manipulations, namely Days Sales in Receivable Index (DSRI), Gross Margin Index (GMI), Asset Quality Index (AQI), Depreciation Index (DEPI), Sales Growth Index (SGI), Sales, General and Administrative Index (SGAI), Total Accruals to Total Assets (TATA), and Leverage Index (LVGI). The market price was measured using the year-end share price. The findings found that there was a weak negative association as well as a statistically insignificant relationship between earning manipulation and share price, which suggests that earning manipulation is influenced by other factors excluding share price. The findings did not support the argument that there was a significant relationship between earning manipulation and share price where companies had been discovered to have engaged in earning manipulation. The study is crucial for the stakeholders that expect companies to achieve the maximum returns and stability in investments and to protect owners’ rights.

Published: July 2024

Halal business and Islamic finance adhere to the same fundamental principles and core beliefs. However, there is a divergence between these two industries, particularly in Malaysia, where the utilisation and adoption rate of Islamic financial facilities is still relatively low. This disconnect is particularly prevalent in Malaysia. In order for a company to run in a manner that is really halal, not only must it concentrate on halal production, but it must also finance the firm using shariah-compliant financing; this is something that has not yet been entirely accomplished. As a result, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the survey instrument in determining the influence of relative advantage, complexity, compatibility, top management support, owner-manager expertise, competitive pressure, and customer pressure on the desire to adopt Islamic finance facilities. Specifically, the aim of this study is to review the usefulness of the survey instrument in determining these factors. At the Halal Fiesta (Halfest), a survey was carried out with 30 halal-certified companies utilising a straightforward random sampling approach. This survey served as a preliminary assessment. The findings of the study provide evidence that there is a need for additional improvement and suggest that the survey instrument is appropriate for a more in-depth study that involves a bigger and more representative sample within the halal business.

Published: July 2024

O Brasil é um dos maiores produtores de tomate do mundo. Durante o processo de industrialização deste alimento, são gerados resíduos, conhecidos como pomace de tomate, que geralmente são descartados. O pomace, composto por casca, semente, fibras e restos de polpa de tomate, é um subproduto valioso, com potencial para ser utilizado na criação de novos produtos. Este trabalho tem como objetivo estudar a isoterma de equilíbrio do pomace de tomate seco a 95°C, utilizando os modelos matemáticos de Henderson e Henderson-Thompson para isoterma de adsorção. Foram analisadas a umidade de equilíbrio, a umidade teórica e a atividade de água. Após as análises e o estudo do gráfico da isoterma, os coeficientes de determinação encontrados foram 1 para o modelo de Henderson-Thompson e 0,548 para a curva obtida com os dados experimentais. Os resultados mostraram que os dados seguem uma curva sigmoidal e que o modelo de Henderson-Thompson se ajustou adequadamente aos dados experimentais. Em contraste, o modelo de Henderson não apresentou resultados plausíveis, indicando que os dados não se ajustaram a este modelo. Assim, o pomace de tomate demonstrou ser um subproduto promissor, com potencial para aplicação em novos produtos, destacando a importância do reaproveitamento de resíduos na indústria alimentícia.
The Impact of the Enactment and Operation of the Healthy City Basic Ordinance on Adults’ Healthy Lifestyle Practices
Authors: Lee Sieun , Lee Yuri ,   Academy of Urban Health
Published: July 2024

The World Health Organization’s “Healthy Cities” initiative seeks to enhance community well-being by improving urban environments and promoting healthy lifestyles such as smoking cessation, moderate alcohol consumption, and increased physical activity. These efforts aim to reduce chronic diseases and manage obesity. However, the effectiveness of these initiatives often lacks quantitative evaluation, especially regarding the impact on the health lifestyle practices of adults in the community. This study evaluates the impact of the Healthy City Ordinance on local adult health behaviors in 214 Korean municipalities by analyzing data on smoking cessation, alcohol consumption, and walking practice from 2008 to 2020, using ecological analysis. This study assesses the impact of Korea’s Healthy Cities Basic Ordinance on adult healthy lifestyle practices using ecological analyses from 2008 to 2022, finding a significant reduction in smoking and high-risk drinking rates, but no significant change in walking rates, suggesting that while the ordinance positively influences some health behaviors, its effects are not uniformly distributed across all health behavior areas. This study highlights the importance of healthy city ordinances in public health by providing evidence that supports the development of sustainable health promotion strategies, emphasizing the role of ordinances in policy-making, and offering insights that aid in the effective design and implementation of health policies, potentially guiding future research and strategic approaches in the field.
Adopting the N-minute city Approach to Revitalize Healthy Cities
Authors: Lee Eunjin ,   Academy of Urban Health
Published: July 2024

In recent years, as a sustainable urban development idea, the ‘N-minute city’ concept, which seeks to create services and urban facilities necessary for daily life in a short distance and accessible within a short period of time, is emerging. Policy attempts to create a self-sufficient N-minute living area through walking and cycling, rather than focusing on cars, such as Paris’ ‘15-minute city’ and Melbourne’s ‘20-minute city’ are being actively pursued. In addition to compact spatial planning, the N-minute city can promote healthy activities (walking, cycling, public transportation, etc.) and increase social communication in daily life. Accordingly, we raise the need to introduce urban plans and implementation strategies that have been proposed as a way to realize various ‘N-minute cities’ as a way to revitalize a healthy city to create a healthy urban environment and form cooperative relationships between various entities in Si Heung city.

КРИЗИС ДВОРЯНСКОЙ СЕМЬИ В 70-Е ГОДЫ XIX ВЕКА В РОМАНЕ Ф.М. ДОСТОЕВСКОГО «ПОДРОСТОК»

Фёдор Достоевский в 1875 году представил вниманию общественности свой новый роман «Подросток», который критика, писатели-современники и читатели не поняли и не приняли, поставив на произведении штамп авторской неудачи. Весь XX век этот роман никогда не изучался в вузовских аудиториях, не было его и в школьных программах. Первым, кто назвал этот роман, как «одно из самых гениальных и недостаточно еще оцененных творений Достоевского» был русский философ Н.А. Бердяев.
Вечная проблема «отцов и детей» в романе «Подросток», исследуемая Ф.М. Достоевским в новом ракурсе, чем у других русских писателей-классиков. Писатель сместил акцент в своём произведении на «дети и отцы». Проблема воспитания подрастающего поколения всегда волновала Достоевского-мыслителя. В данном романе нет    ни одной нравственно здоровой дворянской семьи, все находятся в состоянии распада или раздора. Достоевский отмечал, что прошли времена дворянского семейного лада, каким его изображал Лев Толстой в своих романах. В пореформенной России 70-х годов XIX века происходит разрушение основы архетипа дворянской семьи. Новое время породило семью-мезальянс и её детей-изгоев.
Тема отцов представлена в романе чёткой оппозицией в сословном и аксиологическом плане: кровный отец-дворянин-скиталец по Европе, духовный отец–странник-праведник по России. У автора слово «подросток» указывает не столько на возрастной ценз главного героя, сколько на ценностный этап на пути познания им истины. Взросление, самооценка и самосуд главного героя автор раскрывает через его записки. Исповедь главного героя – это этапы его исканий, поиски ответов на ценностно-смысловые и онтологические вопросы: кто он в этом мире: «князь», «будущий миллионер», «игрок», «шантажист», «грешник»? Нигилистическая идея сына – стать русским Ротшильдом порождает в герое двойника и душу паука. Главный герой проходит нравственные и духовные мытарства, чтобы обрести кровного и духовного отца и выйти из состояния сиротства.  Дан анализ русскому двойничеству философом Н.А. Бердяевым и писателем-критиком Д.С. Мережковским контексте данного романа. В  предсмертном письме Достоевский признавался в  своём личном раздвоении  и стремился    распознать этот недуг у себя и  у своих героев.

Қазақстан президенттерінің жолдауындағы «мен» есімдігінің коммуникативті мақсатының түрлері сипатталып, қай президенттің қолданысында қандай коммуникативті интенцияның басым екені анықталады. Мақаланың ұсынған гипотезасы –  ҚР-ның экс-президенті Н.Назарбаев пен қазіргі президенті Қ.Тоқаев жолдауларындағы «Мен» тұлғалық көрсеткішінің бағалауыштық және прагматикалық аспектілерінде айырмашылық барын, ондай айырмашылық президенттердің жеке тұлғалық дискурсымен байланысты екенін анықтау.
Жолдау мәтіндеріндегі «мен» категориясының қолданысын талдау саяси тұлғаның репрезентациялық болмысын сипаттауға мүмкіндік тудырады. Сөйлеуші демонстрациялық «мен» есімдігін қолдану арқылы мінез-құлқынан, психологиялық-ментальды жай-күйінен, прагматикалық интенциясынан хабар береді. Мақаланың мақсаты – осындай жеке дискурс сипатына ие тұлғалық қасиеттердің жолдау мәтіндеріндегі көрінісін анықтау. Зерттеуде ой-тұжырымды бекіту мақсатында қолданылу жиілігін есептеу принципі қолданылып, сандық көрсеткіштерге арқа сүйедік.
Bagaimana Return On Assets (ROA), Leverage dan Capital Intensity Mempengaruhi Agresivitas Pajak
Authors: Wehdawati Wehdawati
Published: July 2024

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh Return On Assets (ROA), leverage, dan capital intensity terhadap agresivitas pajak pada perusahaan pertambangan yang terdaftar di Bursa Efek Indonesia (BEI) periode 2018-2020. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ROA memiliki pengaruh negatif signifikan terhadap agresivitas pajak, artinya perusahaan dengan profitabilitas yang rendah lebih cenderung melakukan tindakan agresif terhadap kewajiban pajak mereka. Leverage ditemukan tidak berpengaruh signifikan, menunjukkan bahwa tingkat utang perusahaan tidak mempengaruhi kecenderungan untuk menghindari pajak. Sebaliknya, capital intensity berpengaruh positif signifikan terhadap agresivitas pajak, menandakan bahwa perusahaan dengan investasi tinggi dalam aset tetap lebih cenderung menggunakan strategi pengelolaan pajak yang agresif. Hasil koefisien determinasi (adjusted R2) dari ketiga variabel independen mempengaruhi agresivitas pajak sebesar 89,8%, sedangkan 10,2% dijelaskan oleh variabel lain. Pembaharuan dalam penelitian ini yaitu terletak pada variabel independen, yaitu ROA, leverage dan capital intensity. Berbeda dengan penelitian sebelumnya yang menggunakan variabel kepemilikan institusional, koneksi politik dan corporate social responsibility (CSR).

A decrease in the mediator activity of nerve structures in organ tissues leads to the development of neurodystrophic changes and an increase in their sensitivity to certain influences. In these planets, it is important to assess the morphological characteristics of target structures, taking into account the neurodystrophic component of the disease. The aim of the study was to determine the activity of the peripheral adrenergic link of the trophic reflex and assessing the morphological features of the mucous membrane of the vocal folds in chronic hypertrophic laryngitis in patients with neurovegetative disorders. Materials and methods: the study involved 45 patients (37 men and 8 women) aged 23 to 72 years with a diagnosis of chronic hypertrophic laryngitis. An objective study of the upper respiratory tract, a cytological study of reprinted smears from the affected areas of the larynx, a study of the functional state of the ANS, as well as a histological and histochemical study of the removed tissue were carried out. Results. The examined patients were found to have dysfunction of the ANS in the form of insufficient or excessive autonomic support of activity. Morphological signs of keratinization of the epithelium of the mucous membrane of the vocal folds and its active proliferation, as well as dystrophic and atypical changes in cellular elements revealed as a sign of insufficient, tact and a sign of excessive vegetative support of activity. It was found that with insufficient vegetative support of activity, the proliferative activity of epithelial cells is more pronounced than that of a chemer with excess. The same applies to keratosis with atypia and dystrophic changes in the epithelium. Conclusions. The activity of the interstitial adrenergic nerve structures of the mucous membrane of the vocal folds correlates with the characteristics of autonomic activity. The weakening of the processes of synthesis, accumulation and excretion of neurotransmitter is associated with insufficient vegetative support of activity, and their strengthening is associated with excessive. The amount of neurotransmitter in peripheral nerve fibers and endings depends on the nature and intensity of manifestations of neurogenic dystrophies developing in executive tissues – targets of adrenergic innervation.
