MELENEY'S GANGRENE: IMPROVING MORBIDITY AND MORTALITY – AN INSTITUTIONAL EXPERIENCE
Authors: Prasad Dharini , Kamalraj M. , Santhi B.
Published: December 2024

Meleney's gangrene, also known as necrotizing fasciitis or synergistic gangrene of the abdominal wall, is
a rare but often fatal condition that requires prompt diagnosis and aggressive treatment. Its mortality
rate ranges from 34% overall to over 90% in diabetic patients due to its rapidly progressive nature and resultant systemic sepsis.
Efforts have been made to reduce morbidity and mortality, ensuring better quality of life. We performed a retrospective analysis
of patients presenting to our institute over a 6-month period with Meleney's gangrene, who experienced improved outcomes and
lower mortality through a proactive, multidisciplinary approach to management. Elements of this approach included early
recognition and evaluation of the condition, timely surgical debridement, a low threshold for re-debridement, targeted
antibiotic therapy, the utilization of advanced wound care techniques, and supportive care. The mortality rate observed at our
hospital (27%) were lower than the reported average. We also analysed the demographic characteristics, onset,
microbiological prole, comorbid illnesses and wound management techniques employed. Our ndings suggest that a
comprehensive strategy can lead to better patient outcomes and reduced morbidity in this challenging clinical scenario.

Published: December 2024

Mumps is an acute disease of children and young adults, caused by a paramyxovirus of which there is only a single serotype. The mumps virus is
only known to infect humans.1 With the implementation of widespread vaccination, the incidence of mumps in the population has decreased
substantially. 2 It is transmitted through direct touch or airborne droplets from infected people's upper respiratory tracts. Mumps is most commonly
recorded in children between the ages of 5 and 9; however, adults and adolescents can also contract the illness. The mumps starts with non-specific
symptoms such myalgia, headache, malaise, and low-grade fever after an incubation period of about two to four weeks. Days after the onset of these
symptoms, the parotid salivary glands expand unilaterally or bilaterally; in 10% of instances, other salivary glands are also affected.1
A CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK FOR ELECTROLYTE RETRIEVAL FROM USED DIALYSATE THROUGH ELECTRIC FIELD-DRIVEN ION SEPARATION
Authors: Rupchandani Chirag Dinesh
Published: December 2024

This paper introduces a novel approach to recycling electrolytes from used dialysate, offering a potential pathway to reduce the high costs and
environmental impact of hemodialysis. By applying a uniform electric field to selectively separate the ionic components from non-ionic wastes,
this method aims to retain valuable electrolytes while eliminating urinary by-products. It proposes the use of a uniform electric field generated
between the plates of a capacitor to control the movement of electrolyte ions, while allowing regular diffusion so as to facilitate the motion of
urinary wastes, which are primarily covalent and hence virtually unaffected by electric field. Such an approach could significantly decrease the
need for new electrolyte solutions in dialysis, particularly benefiting resource-limited settings. This conceptual framework suggests a path forward
for experimental validation and optimization, potentially paving the way for a sustainable, cost-effective advancement in dialysis technology.

Published: December 2024

Tracheostomy is a widely accepted procedure for maintaining airway patency, but it can lead to both early and late complications. While rare, tracheostomy tube (TT) fracture is a serious complication that may occur, particularly in patients who have used the device for an extended period. We report the case of a patient with a long-term metal tracheostomy tube who presented to the emergency department with acute dyspnea due to the fragmentation and displacement of the TT into the tracheobronchial tree. This unusual event prompted urgent intervention for foreign body removal. After stabilization, a chest X-ray confirmed the position of the fractured tube, and although bronchoscopic removal was planned, the patient was able to expel the broken tube spontaneously following a vigorous coughing effort. This case highlights the importance of careful monitoring in long-term tracheostomy patients, as well as the potential risks associated with prolonged use of tracheostomy tubes. Regular cleaning, routine surveillance, and scheduled replacement of the tube are critical preventive measures to reduce the risk of such complications.
Advancing Natural Language Processing for Underrepresented Tibeto-Burman Languages in Northeast India
Authors: Kuotsu N John
Published: December 2024

Natural Language Processing (NLP) plays a vital role in bridging digital divides by facilitating communication and information access across diverse linguistic communities. This paper analyses the particular difficulties and the potential directions of constructing NLP resources for the Tibeto-Burman languages that are used in the North-East India: The region is linguistically diverse; however, it does not possess large-scale language resources. Some of the special characteristics of the Tibeto-Burman languages include tonal system, morphological complexity, distinctive syntactic features and script variety which present major obstacles to NLP applications including machine translation, speech recognition and named entity identification. The lack of digital corpora and annotated datasets is another challenge which adds to the problem. Focusing on the case studies, as well as the recent trends of the field, this work describes the emerging and promising techniques like transfer learning, data augmentation, and community-driven development. These methods seek to address the issues of limited data and increase the efficiency and effectiveness of applying NLP tools to the Tubeto-Burman languages in North-East India. Ultimately, improving NLP tools in this area helps to strengthen language documentation and ensure equal access to digital resources, as well as promoting the global development of NLP field knowledge and research. Addressing these challenges can pave the way for more inclusive and effective communication technologies across diverse linguistic landscapes.

Narracje rodzinne w perspektywie biograficznej
Authors: Mazurek Emilia
Published: December 2024

Wspomnienia rodzinne relacjonowane poprzez opowiadanie są pomocne w skonstruowaniu opowieści o sobie, autonarracji, zapewniającej poczucie ciągłości siebie jako osoby i poczucie przynależności do własnej rodziny pomimo zmieniających się okoliczności. Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie narracji rodzinnych jako opowieści, które tworzą, uzupełniają, wzbogacają narrację autobiograficzną. Problem ten został wyjaśniony w oparciu o założenia teorii ekologii narracyjnej autorstwa Kate McLean oraz modelu ekologicznych systemów narracji rodzinnych Robyn Fivush i Natalie Merrill. Zgodnie z założeniami obu koncepcji opowieści, z którymi człowiek ma kontakt w biegu swojego życia, można przyporządkować do pewnych systemów, które są dynamiczne, przepuszczalne, elastyczne i pozostają ze sobą w interakcji. Dzięki temu jednostka ma dostęp nie tylko do tych narracji, które dotyczą jej samej i których jest autorem, ale także do opowieści o innych bądź o sobie tworzonych przez innych oraz do narracji kultury.

Authors: Pereira Marcio Mendes , Monteiro Júnior Francisco das Chagas , Yamamura Sayuri
Published: December 2024

Fundamento: A fração de ejeção do ventrículo esquerdo (FEVE) é o parâmetro tradicional na avaliação da função cardíaca, porém apresenta limitações na detecção precoce de disfunção. O Strain Longitudinal Global (SLG) e o Trabalho Miocárdico (TM) são alternativas promissoras, sendo este último menos influenciado pelas condições de carga. O cálculo do TM depende dos tempos dos eventos valvares (TEV), obtidos por métodos que podem gerar resultados divergentes.

Objetivos: Comparar o impacto das diferentes formas de aferição dos TEV, sendo elas: análise visual (AV), Doppler tecidual (TDI) e Doppler pulsátil (DP) nos Índice de Trabalho Miocárdico Global (ITMG), Trabalho Miocárdico Construtivo Global (TMCG), Trabalho Miocárdico Desperdiçado Global (TMDG) e Eficiência do Trabalho Miocárdico Global (ETMG).

Método: Estudo clínico transversal com 35 pacientes saudáveis, que foram submetidos a ecocardiografia entre outubro de 2022 e março de 2023. O TM foi avaliado por meio do software EchoPAC, com aferição dos TEV por AV, TDI e DP. Os resultados foram analisados por testes de ANOVA e Friedman, seguidos de análises post-hoc com nível de significância de 5%.

Resultados: O ITMG apresentou variação significativa entre os métodos de aferição dos TEV, sendo menor pela AV em comparação ao TDI e DP (p<0,001). Os índices TMCG, TMDG e ETMG não demonstraram diferença estatisticamente significativa entre os métodos.

Conclusões: O método de aferição dos TEV implica em diferença estatisticamente significativa no ITMG, mas não afeta os demais índices de TM.

ДИНАМИКУ ИНВЕСТИЦИЙ В ЦИФРОВУЮ ЭКОНОМИКУ:
ЭМПИРИЧЕСКИЙ АНАЛИЗ ГЛОБАЛЬНЫХ ТРЕНДОВ
Authors: Успаева М.Г.
Published: December 2024

Статья посвящена исследованию взаимосвязи между уровнем монополизации рынков и динамикой инвестиций в цифровую экономику в глобальном контексте. На основе эконометрического анализа панельных данных по 50 странам за период 2010 – 2022 гг. выявлены статистически значимые эффекты концентрации рыночной власти на приток венчурного капитала и корпоративных инвестиций в ИКТ-сектор. Показано, что монополизация стимулирует инвестиционную активность доминирующих игроков, но ограничивает возможности для новых инноваторов. С помощью кластерного анализа определены страновые паттерны взаимодействия монополизма и инвестиций, обусловленные институциональными факторами. Сделан вывод о необходимости сбалансированной конкурентной политики для обеспечения инклюзивного цифрового развития. Результаты исследования значимы для формирования стратегий инвестиционного и антимонопольного регулирования в условиях перехода к цифровой экономике.

КОДИФИКАЦИИ РОССИЙСКОГО ПРАВА В XIX – НАЧ. XX ВВ.
Authors: Шатковская Т.В. , Динаева З.Д.
Published: December 2024

В статье проанализирован и обобщен опыт российских кодификаторов XIX-нач. XX вв. по решению проблемы объединения разнообразного нормативного материала в ходе кодификационных работ. На основе архивных данных автор доказывает, что единство правового пространства в Российской империи обеспечивалось не только административными, но и юридическими средствами. Двухуровневая модель кодификации, исследование местных правовых особенностей, их соотношение с основными началами общеимперского права способствовали постепенному распространению действия общероссийских законов в Западных губерниях и на Кавказе. С помощью кодификации сохранялось своеобразие российской государственности. Оно заключено в уникальном опыте мирного сосуществования народов в составе трансформирующейся Российской империи.
ПРАВОСОЗНАНИЕ И ПРАВОВАЯ КУЛЬТУРА В
УСЛОВИЯХ СОВРЕМЕННОЙ РЕАЛЬНОСТИ
Authors: Умарова А.А.
Published: December 2024

Человеку на протяжении своего существования и развития всегда были присущи те или иные признаки и формы правосознания. Однако, как правило, правосознание основывалось на страхе перед Господом, государственными образованиями или людьми. Современное правосознание берет свое начало с формирования буржуазного общества, то есть примерно с XIX века нашей эры. Именно в этот период начали появляться различные нормативные правовые акты, определяющие правосознание и правовую культуру современного человека: конституции, декларации, конвенции и другие акты, предусматривающие права, свободы, законные интересы и обязанности человека как личности и личности как человека. Правосознание и правовая культура человека видоизменяются и совершенствуются каждый день в соответствии с совершенствованием законодательных норм и развитием информационных технологий. Именно об общих вопросах правовой культуры и правосознания, об их формах в современном мире и роли и месте в условиях цифровой реальности пойдет речь в настоящей научной статье.
