A fibromialgia é uma condição clínica caracterizada por dor musculoesquelética crônica generalizada, geralmente, acompanhada por outros distúrbios neuropsicológicos. O presente artigo objetivou analisar a percepção de mulheres fibromiálgicas, na menacme, sobre a própria condição clínica. O estudo tem caráter observacional, com abordagem qualitativa, realizado com 10 mulheres portadoras de fibromialgia, de diferentes municípios do Estado da Bahia, a partir de entrevista semiestruturada sobre a experiência vivenciada pelas participantes, o impacto sobre a rotina delas e as mudanças notadas após o diagnóstico e o tratamento. Observou-se que as participantes referem a dor como o principal motivo que as levaram a procurar o serviço médico, sendo o estresse referido como principal fator que influencia no aumento da dor musculoesquelético. A terapêutica formada pela associação entre os medicamentos e atividades físicas diárias proporciona maior qualidade de vida às entrevistadas. A síndrome fibromiálgica é uma condição debilitante que impacta diretamente na vida social e laborativa das mulheres portadoras dessa condição. Dessa forma, o diagnóstico correto pelo médico é fundamental, assim como o tratamento adequado adaptado a cada perfil sintomático. Novas pesquisas ainda são necessárias, principalmente no que tange ao tratamento, bem como a elucidação da influência dos hormônios gonadotróficos na diminuição do limiar de sensibilidade à dor.

Published: July 2020

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate temporal prevalence trend, cardiometabolic risk factors, and the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and all-cause mortality (ACM) in incident young- and usual-onset type 2 diabetes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

From the U.K. primary care database, 370,854 people with a new diagnosis of type 2 diabetes from 2000 to 2017 were identified. Analyses were conducted by age-

group (18–39, 40–49, 50–59, 60–69, 70–79 years) and high-/low-risk status without history of ASCVD at diagnosis, with subjects with two or more of current smoking, high systolic blood pressure, high LDL cholesterol (LDL-C), or chronic kidney disease classified as high risk.

RESULTS

The proportion of people aged <50 years at diagnosis increased during 2000–2010 and then stabilized. The incidence rates of ASCVD and ACM declined in people aged ≥50 years but did not decrease in people <50 years. Compared with people aged ≥50 years, those aged 18–39 years at diagnosis had a higher proportion of obesity (71% obese) and higher HbA1c (8.6%), and 71% had high LDL-C, while only 18% were on cardioprotective therapy. Although 2% in this age-group had ASCVD at diagnosis, 23% were identified as high risk. In the 18–39-year age-group, the adjusted average years to ASCVD/ACM in high-risk individuals (9.1 years [95% CI 8.2–10.0]/9.3 years [8.1–10.4]) were similar to the years in those with low risk (10.0 years [9.5–10.5]/10.5 years [9.7–11.2]). However, individuals aged ≥50 years with high risk were likely to experience an ASCVD event 1.5–2 years earlier and death 1.1–1.5 years earlier compared with low-risk groups (P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONS

Unlike usual-onset, young-onset type 2 diabetes has similar cardiovascular and mortality risk irrespective of cardiometabolic risk factor status at diagnosis. The guidelines on the management of young-onset type 2 diabetes for intensive risk factor management and cardioprotective therapies need to be urgently reevaluated through prospective studies.

Authors: Mursalin Mursalin
Published: July 2020

The quality of ice cream is largely determined by the type of emulsifier used.  The utilization of an appropriate emulsifier will produce ice cream with good quality. A mixture of Mono-Diacylglycerol made from fully Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Oil (furthermore in this paper we named it as MDAG) and Tween-80 in various comparisons was used as an emulsifier in ice cream making and their effects were analyzed. The composition of the mixture was determined based on 5 types of HLB values, namely 4.5 (E1); 5.3 (E2); 6.1 (E3); 6.9 (E4); and 7.7 (E5); obtained from a mixture of MDAG and Tween-80 (87.5: 12.5); (80.8: 19.2); (74.2: 25.8); (67.5: 32.5); and (60.8: 39.2), respectively. The five treatment levels of the mixture composition of the two types of emulsifiers were arranged in a completely randomized design with 4 replications. The parameters observed were overrun, melting time, texture, and consumer preferences for taste and overall acceptance. The data obtained were statistically analyzed using ANOVA, followed by Duncan New Multiple Range Test (DNMRT) . The results showed that the composition of the mixture of MDAG and Tween-80 had a very significant effect on overrun, melting time, texture, taste, and overall acceptance of the ice cream produced. The best quality ice cream was obtained from the mixture composition of MDAG and Tween-80 at HLB 6.1 with MDAG: Tween-80 (74.2: 25.8) with an overrun value of 68.43%, melting time of 21.13 minutes, texture score of 4.76 (as good as a local commercial ice cream produced in Kumpeh District, Muaro Jambi), preferences score of taste was 5.92 (from a score interval of 1-7), and an overall acceptance score was 5.56 (from a score interval of 1-7).

Published: July 2020

Many tertiary students do not complete all the steps of their tertiary education because they encounter difficulties in adjusting themselves to university life. The aim of this research was to determine the role of upbringing (by both father and mother) and the “college self-efficacy” (the self-confidence of the students in completing their study obligations) regarding college adjustment (CA) [US term] of first-year students of the Faculty of Technology of University X [name concealed], in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. 139 students were involved in this research, and completed an instrument to measure the research variables. The research data was processed, using regression analysis, to determine the contributions of patterns of upbringing and self-efficacy of the students, regarding college adjustment. Based upon the analysis conducted in the research, the results indicated that the parenting style and college self-efficacy generally had a role in the college adjustment of the student. However, the results more especially indicated that a pattern of permissive maternal upbringing had a significant negative contribution to their CA, and that college self-efficacy had a significant positive contribution to that CA. This paper then discusses the magnitude of the role of the parent, compared to the self-efficacy of the student in his or her achievements, when undertaking tertiary education.  

 

Banyak mahasiswa tidak menyelesaikan jenjang sarjana karena mengalami hambatan penyesuaian diri di masa kuliah. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mengetahui peran pola pengasuhan (ayah dan ibu) dan college self-efficacy (keyakinan diri mahasiswa menyelesaikan kewajiban studi) terhadap college adjustment (CA) mahasiswa Fakultas Teknik tahun pertama Universitas X Bandung. 139 mahasiswa tergabung dalam penelitian ini dan mengisi instrumen yang mengukur variabel penelitian. Data penelitian diolah dengan analisis regresi untuk menentukan kontribusi pola asuh dan keyakinan diri mahasiswa terhadap college adjustment. Berdasarkan analisis yang dilakukan dalam penelitian ini, hasil penelitian menunjukkan parenting style dan college self-efficacy secara umum berperan terhadap college adjustment mahasiswa. Akan tetapi, hasil lebih khusus menunjukkan pola asuh permisif ibu berkontribusi signifikan negatif terhadap CA, dan college self-efficacy berkontribusi signifikan positif terhadap CA. Tulisan ini kemudian membahas besaran peran orangtua apabila dibandingkan dengan keyakinan diri mahasiswa dalam keberhasilannya menempuh pendidikan tinggi.

Published: July 2020

The fictional narrative is a form of literature often found in everyday life, such as in novels or short stories, comic strips in newspapers, and in poetry. Reading fictional literature has a positive effect, however previous research had not as yet shown any conclusive evidence that such reading increases empathy. This research was aimed at testing the influence of reading fictional narratives on empathy, mediated by narrative engagement. The method used in the research was an experimental one, with a pre-test/post-test control group design. 194 undergraduate students were actively involved as the research participants. The results of the analysis of data, using a Wilcoxon signed-rank test and a causal step approach indicated that reading a fictional narrative may significantly increase the empathy of the reader, and that the relationship of these two variables were partially mediated by narrative engagement. This research provided supportive data to the idea that fictional narratives may raise levels of empathy and that that influence is mediated by the variable of narrative engagement. The public is enjoined to read fictional narratives, such as novels, comics, short stories and poetry of a variety of genres, to experience an increase in empathy.

Published: July 2020

This study evaluated the effects of seed priming on germination and growth of A. millefolium by means of laboratory and greenhouse experiments conducted during 2018 in the Agricultural University of Athens. Treatments were GA3 (400 and 800 ppm), potassium nitrate (2% and 4%), polyethylene-glycol (soaking for 12 and 24h) besides an untreated control. Experiment in Petri dishes revealed that GA3 at 400 ppm, potassium nitrate (at concentration 2 and 4%) and PEG significantly increased germination percentage of A. millefolium, while germination rate was also significantly improved as a result of all seed priming techniques. In addition, due to the soil experiment, seedling emergence was significantly increased by GA3 at 400 ppm, potassium nitrate (at both concentrations) and PEG compared with the untreated seeds. Dry biomass of the young seedlings was significantly enhanced by means of GA3 (at 400 and 800 ppm), KNO3 (4%) and PEG for 24 h, indicating the potential effect of seed priming on first growth as well. The results of the present study revealed the significant positive effects of seed priming on A. millefolium seed germination, seedling emergence and early growth.

Authors: Sangadieva Erzhen Gendenovna
Published: July 2020

The problem of the concept of world in a literary work has always been fundamental within the framework of literary studies. This article examines the definition of the concept of world in the anthology of Bair Dugarov “The Saga of Samsara. The author reviews the key concepts, such as space and time, their analysis within the structure of compilation, which attracted poet’s attention to the concepts of ethnic world of Mongolian-language peoples, taking into account the specificity of traditional ethnic culture, confessional views, peculiarities of mentality and philosophical aspects of the problem of the world and human being. Research methodology is based on the semiotic approach, structural-semantic, axiological and narrative methods. The scientific novelty consists in analysis of the concept of world in the works of Bair Dugarov as a unique phenomenon of Buryat poetry with vivid ethno-national and religious-sacral traits. The main conclusion lies in the fact that the supertemporal essence of a human being – as an intrinsic part of an ethnic group, carries of moral, and ethical values, capable of assessing himself and the entire world – is being reached through the examined concepts.
The transformation of folklore tripling method in translation of Chinese tales about animals
Authors: Vorontsova Galina
Published: July 2020

The goal of this research is the description of transformation in translation of tripling in a Chinese tale about animals. The subject of this research is structure of the tale “Tiger and Buffalo” in the original and in translation, as well as implementation of the principle of triples in translating this folk art. The tale “Tiger and Buffalo” was selected as an example, since it most fully reflects the functioning mechanism of tripling method of an action, although such mechanisms of transformation of text structure in translation into the Russian language are also present in others Chinese tales about animals. It is demonstrated how the classical folklore tripling method of an action functions in a Chinese tale, and which modifications experiences the structure of a tale in translation into the Russian language. A metaphrastic triple repeat in a Chinese tale in translation into Russian transforms into three different forms of expression. In translation, it does not retain its syntactic parallelism from the Chinese original, and expressions change its structure. The author establishes that the main fabric of narration in the tale “Tiger and Buffalo” is comprised by three key semantic groups of tripling of action; and two brief mirror dialogues are located in between them. The last line of each third level of tripling action contains the transformation of pattern established in the process of reiteration; this results in a significant narrative arc  and change of the formed pattern reflected lexically and syntactically. The scientific novelty consists in discussion of the question on transformation experienced by tripling in translation into a language with other typology. The translator’s need for active use of the means of synonymy instead of tripled metaphrastic reiteration presented in the original text, as well as the need for transformation of textual structure of a Chinese tale into the Russian language, emerge due to diverse way of thinking of a Russian contemporary translator and creators of a folk tale who lived in a different historical era. The conclusion is made on a prevalent influence of aesthetic ideal of a separate language and culture upon textual structure of a folk tale.
Cognitive scenario of “school attendance” in linguistic consciousness of the Russians and Chinese
Authors: Zhang Dong
Published: July 2020

The goal of this work consists in determination of similarities and differences of cognitive scenario of “school attendance” in linguistic consciousness of the Russians and Chinese. The linguistic terms “concept”, “scenario”, and “frame” are clarified. Comparison is conducted on lexicographic meanings of lexical units 学生 and ‘student’. The author analyzes the associative fields of ’学生 – ‘student’, 小学 – ‘elementary school’, 中学 – ‘middle school’, and ‘school’; compares the scenarios of “school attendance” in Russia and China. The relevance of this work is substantiated by the trend of strengthening of cooperation and exchange in the sphere of education between Russia and China. Cognitive analysis of associative field allows reconstructing the concept as a unit of individual mental lexicon, and cultural phenomenon. The concept is defined as a core meaningful unit of memory, mental lexicon, conceptual scheme of the entire worldview reflected in a human psyche. The frame is a special type of cognitive model, which represents knowledge belonging to either specific or common situations; while scenarios are the structures of knowledge particularly designated for recurrent sequence of events. The article applies a free association experiment that is one of the means of externalization of linguistic consciousness. The scientific novelty lies in selection of the relevant, but insufficiently explored topic – the comparative study of cognitive structures in the sphere of education of Russia and China. As a result, the author determined the differences in cognitive scenario of “school attendance” in linguistic consciousness of Russian and Chinese students. The differences consists in the following: 1) school uniforms; 2) distance between school and home; 3)requirements for physical training of the students (Chinese students to morning exercises, some activities between the lessons, and eye exercises; 4) ceremonies and rituals (on Mondays, Chinese schools do the national flag-raising ceremony; and welcoming ritual at the beginning of each lesson); 5) and length of the education process. The acquires results may be valuable in further comparative study of Russian and Chinese educational discourse.

Falsification of content: decadence and simplification as the extreme forms of internal protest of the heroines of M. V. Krestovskaya’s novella “The Outcry”
Authors: Kharitonova Anna
Published: July 2020

This article examines novella by Maria Krestovskaya “The Outcry” (1900) in the context of reception of the phenomenon of decadence in Russian literature of turn of the XIX – XX centuries. This novella by the mostly forgotten writer, who in her works refers mostly to the female topics (love, family, and profession), is currently of particular interest from the perspective of reflection of cultural trends of that time. A “typical female story” about the unhappy marriage, aimed against the power of money, insincerity and lack of freedom, puts decadence to the forefront of narration as a cultural emblem of the era, revealing the inner motifs and mechanism, which led one of the heroines to an ostentatiously decadent behavior. A contrasts form of protest against the bourgeois world in the novella is the ideology of simplification. The scientific novelty of the conducted research is defined by paucity of research on the works of M. V. Krestovskaya, and absence of special works within the modern literary studies dedicated to her writing heritage. The author’s contribution consists in introduction of novella “The Outcry” into the extensive Russian-European cultural and historical-literary context, as well as its analysis from the perspective of worldview trends and aesthetic influences of the late XIX – early XX centuries. The research proves that this text, which is not the only resort of M. V. Krestovskaya to a new type of here of the “end of century”, can be justifiably attributed to the body of work devoted to the heroes-decadents.

The object of this research is the theatricalizes “Danse Macabre” in the Catalonian city Verges is the only extant in La Bisbal province testimony of the popular in Medieval Western Europe traditions of Macabre. “Danse Macabre” in Verges takes place on a Maundy Thursday: five actors-skeletons with the symbolic inventory in their hands – scythe, colors, urns with ash and hourglass – move to the sounds of drums and remind spectators on the brevity of life and implacable approach of death. The presence of Macabre images in the Medieval art and literature is substantiated by crisis mentality caused by the Black Death and military conflicts. The conclusions on the archetypical features and authentic elements in Catalonian “Danse Macabre” are based on the research of historical-literary context, examination of the main scientific hypothesis regarding the Iberian trace in the emergence of this synthetic genre form, analysis of the circle beginning of Catalonian “Dance Macabre” under the influence of oriental presence on the peninsula. The author assesses modern approaches towards “Danse Macabre” with their sad procession of the representatives of all social classes to mass manifestations of democratic spirit of irreconcilability and resistance, democratic satire that is fighting for social equality facing death and acting against impunity of the powers that be.

The transpalpebral approach “eyelid incision” for surgical management of intracranial tumors: A 10-years’ experience
Authors: Elnokaly Mohamed , Mao Gordon , Aziz Khaled A.
Published: July 2020

Background:

The minimally invasive approaches to the anterior skull base region through fronto-orbital craniotomy remain a highly accepted option that gains countenance and predilection over time. The transpalpebral “eyelid” incision is an under-utilized and more recent technique that offers a safe efficient corridor to manage a wide variety of lesions.

Methods:

We carried a retrospective study of 44 patients operated on by the fronto-orbital craniotomy through transpalpebral “eyelid” incision for intracranial tumors, in the time period from March 2007 to July 2016. The results from surgeries were analyzed; extent of tumor resection, length of hospital stay, cosmetic outcome, and complications.

Results:

Out of the 44 intracranial tumor cases, we had 16 male and 28 female patients with median age 54 years. We had 19 anterior skull base lesions, 8 middle skull base lesions and 8 parasellar lesions. We also operated on four frontal intraparenchymal lesions and four other various lesions. Total resection was achieved in 32 cases (72.7%), with excellent cosmetic outcome in 43 cases (97.7%). Average hospital stay was 6 days. No major complications recorded. Three cases (6.8%) had complications that varied between pseudomeningocele, wound infections, and facial pain. Follow-up average period was 23.6 months.

Conclusion:

The fronto-orbital approach through eyelid incision remains a reliable approach to the skull base. It provides natural anatomical dissection planes through the eyelid incision and a fronto-orbital craniotomy, creating a wide surgical corridor to manage specific lesions with consistent surgical and cosmetic outcome.
Aggressive internal and external decompression as a life-saving surgery in a deeply comatose patient with fixed dilated pupils after severe traumatic brain injury: A case report
Authors: Ebise Hiroki , Kubota Yuichi , Ohbuchi Hidenori , Arai Naoyuki , Inazuka Mayuko , Chernov Mikhail , Kasuya Hidetoshi
Published: July 2020

Background:

To maximize control of the intracranial pressure in deeply comatose patients with malignant cerebral swelling, combination of the surgical techniques for internal and external brain decompression may be reasonable, as demonstrated in the presented case.

Case Description:

A 55-year-old man was admitted with Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score 4, maximally dilated pupils, and absence of the pupillary light and vestibulo-ocular reflexes. Head CT revealed massive acute subdural hematoma, prominent brain shift with subfalcine and transtentorial herniation, and diffuse subarachnoid hemorrhage. Large size decompressive craniectomy and evacuation of subdural hematoma were done, however, prominent swelling of the brain and its protrusion through the bone defect remained. Therefore, extensive temporal lobectomy and removal of the bulk of temporal muscle were additionally attained followed by lax duraplasty. Gradual recovery of the patient was noted from the 1st postoperative day, and on the 70th day, his GCS score was 4T4. Three months later, his condition corresponded to the Glasgow Outcome Scale score 3 (severe disability).

Conclusion:

Aggressive internal and external decompression with combination of large size craniectomy, extensive temporal lobectomy, removal of the bulk of temporal muscle, and lax duraplasty should be considered as possible life-saving option in cases of neurosurgical emergencies with malignant cerebral swelling.
Extremely rare case of retropharyngeal space benign plexiform schwannoma - Excised through Smith- Robinson Approach
Authors: Sakhrekar Rajendra , Peshattiwar Vishal , Jadhav Ravikant , Kulkarni Bijal , Badhwar Sanjiv , Kale Hrishikesh , Yedave Rammohan
Published: July 2020

Background:

Approximately 25–45% of schwannomas are typically slow-growing, encapsulated, and noninvasive tumors that occur in the head-and-neck region where they rarely involve the retropharyngeal space. Here, we report deep-seated benign plexiform schwannoma located in the retropharyngeal C2-C5 region excised utilizing the Smith-Robinson approach.

Case Description:

A 30-year-old male presented with dysphagia and impaired phonation attributed to an MR documented C2-C5 retropharyngeal schwannomas. On examination, the lesion was soft, deep seated, and extended more toward the right side of the neck. Utilizing a right-sided Smith-Robinson’s approach, it was successfully removed. The histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of a plexiform schwannoma.

Conclusion:

Retropharyngeal benign plexiform schwannomas are rare causes of dysphagia/impaired phonation in the cervical spine. MR studies best document the size and extent of these tumors which may be readily resected utilizing a Smith-Robinson approach.

Authors: Sharma Jeevan Kumar , Kalidindi Kalyan Kumar Varma , Sangondimath Gururaj , Mallepally Abhinandan Reddy , Marathe Nandan , Chhabra Harvinder Singh
Published: July 2020

Background:

Few studies have reported on the long-term outcomes of Goel and Harms C1-C2 fusions in the Asian population.

Methods:

This was a retrospective analysis of 53 patients undergoing Goel and Harms fixation (2010 –2018). Clinical outcomes were assessed utilizing the neck disability index (NDI), Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) score, and visual analog scale (VAS). Outcomes were then correlated with fusion rates (using dynamic X-rays), atlanto-dens interval (ADI), and space available for cord (SAC) data.

Results:

The study’s 53 patients averaged 49.98 years of age and included 42 males and 11 females. The mean preoperative versus postoperative scores on multiple outcome measures showed NDI 31.62 ± 11.05 versus decreased to 8.68 ± 3.76 post, mean JOA score (e.g., in 41 patients with myelopathy) improved from 13.20 ± 3.96 to 15.2 ± 2.17, and the mean VAS decreased from 4.85 ± 1.03 to 1.02 ± 0.87 and showed restoration of the ADI (1.96 ± 0.35 mm) and SAC (20.42 ± 0.35 mm). A 98.13% rate of C1-C2 fusion was achieved at 12 postoperative months.

Conclusion:

Goel and Harms technique for C1-C2 fusion resulted in both good clinical and radiological outcomes.
Posttraumatic thoracic epidural capillary hemangioma – A rare case report
Authors: Sudhir G. , Jayabalan Vignesh , Manohar T. H. , Gadde Saikrishna , Kumar Venkatesh , Kailash Karthik
Published: July 2020

Background:

Capillary hemangiomas are benign vascular lesions commonly seen in subcutaneous tissues. The most common site of origin is from the vertebral body, and only a few cases of isolated lesions in thoracic epidural space, especially after trauma, have been reported in the literature.

Case Description:

We report a case of 63-year-old male with progressive bilateral lower limb weakness and exaggerated lower limb deep tendon reflexes without bowel and bladder involvement. His history revealed T7 fracture with paraparesis which was treated surgically, and implants were removed a year later. MRI showed an epidural lesion from T6-T8 extending into the right T7-8 foramen which showed hypointensity on T1, hyperintensity on T2, and homogenous enhancement in contrast images with severe cord compression. Laminectomy was done and the lesion was removed en bloc. Histopathological examination revealed it to be capillary hemangioma. The neurology came back to normal after 3 months.

Conclusion:

Although capillary hemangiomas are rare lesions, it has to be considered in the differential diagnosis of epidural space-occupying lesions which require early surgical removal to prevent a progressive and permanent neurological deficit.
