Background: Many view attrition as one of the biggest barriers
to effective delivery of cART in resource-limited settings in
sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). In this study, our objective was to describe
the incidence and predictors of attrition among adults enrolled in cART
programs in two referral hospitals in the northern coastal areas of
Eritrea. Methods: This was a retrospective review of patient
records of 464 patients [Male: 149(35.6%) vs. Females: 269(64.4%)]
aged 18 years who initiated cART between 2005 and 2021. The main outcome
measures were attrition (loss-to-follow-up (LTFU) plus mortality) and
associated outcomes. Kaplan-Meier statistics were used to evaluate
survival probability of attrition. Independent predictors of attrition
were evaluated using a multivariable Cox proportional hazard model.
Results: A total of 418 patients [Male: 149(35.6%) vs.
Female: 269 (64.4%)] were studied. At baseline, the mean (±SD) age
(SD) was 34(±11.2) years; median (±IQR) CD4 T-cell
count was 151 (IQR: 87-257) cells/µL. After a follow-up time of 39,883
months, 127 ((30.4%), 95% CI [26-35]) attrition events were
reported, translating into a cumulative incidence of 2.9/1000(2.4-3.5)
per 1,000 people-months (PMs) were reported. During the same period, 97
(23.11%) patients died, 32(7.7%) were LTFU, and 47(11.2%) transferred
out. In the adjusted multivariate Cox regression model, an increased
risk of attrition was associated with the year of enrollment (aHR =
1.07, 95% CI 1.00-1.15, p-value = 0.04); ethnicity (Afar: aHR=3.21,
95% CI: 1.84-5.59, p value < 0.001) (Others: aHR = 2.67, 95%
CI: 1.14-6.25, p value = 0.024) and cART backbone: (TDF+FTC: aHR=2, 95%
CI: 1.21-3.32, p value = 0.007). On the contrary, the risk of attrition
decreased per unit increase in baseline CD4
T-cells/μL (uHR=0.998, 95% CI 0.996-0.999, p-value<0.001).
Conclusion: Despite expanded treatment and decentralization of
cART programs, mortality due to advanced disease at enrollment remains
high in peripheral settings. A concerted effort is required to reduce
late enrollment and improve the management of patients with advanced
disease in decentralized programs.

Published: February 2023

Taking into consideration the history of the Russian media is invariably associated with close attention to the work of outstanding publicists. The first decades of the twenty-first century, which replaced the nihilistic attitude towards the Soviet period of the 90s of the twentieth century, became a period when the events of the social life of the country actualized interest not only in the facts of the national history of the past century, but also in various sources of education about them. In this regard, the corpus of journalistic works by authors of the twentieth century is of particular value. It seems that the inter-century twentieth anniversary was a period of "liberation" from the influence of ideological attitudes that are traditional for journalism of both the Soviet 70th anniversary and the non-Soviet periods of the twentieth century and even more so for those born in the post-Soviet period.

Capitalist development and educational structure of modernity
Authors: Oleschenko Yekaterina Olegovna , Rimsky Alexey Viktorovich , Simora Pyotr Ustinovich , Trofimov Roman Viktorovich
Published: February 2023

This article offers a theoretical overview of the connection between accumulation and educational change in the capitalist periphery. Civilizational dynamics, educational structure, transformation, and overcoming of cultural-religious radical discontinuities in modernity are determined by "vital redundancy" localization mechanisms and human existence crisis form neutralization, possibilities of their removal in rationalization, everyday asceticism, law and "serving" science. Unlike traditional culture, where the vital energy of man was poured into religious and festive rituals (carnival acts, dances, mystical ecstasy, etc.), in the culture of modernity, "anthropological redundancy" is displaced into the asceticism of labor and sublimated into the energy of capital accumulation, including symbolic capital (knowledge, status, etc.) as mass secular art. Based on the results, there is a rigid appropriation of vital and social redundancy of human existence in production, administrative, education, military, judicial, mass-cultural and other practices.

Cognitive linguistics sets a stress on the importance of considering the phenomenon of “embodiment” through the prism of studying the core role of the human body, the corresponding cognitive and linguistic anthropomorphic structures, and their influence on man’s sensemaking of the world. Within the framework of the article, it has been demonstrated using the material of the lexical structure of the polysemantic word arm that the structure and functioning of the human body predetermines the vital aspects of our thinking, verbalization and existence in general. Lexical invariant of this polysemantic word is defined as a cluster of dominant features that underlies the figurative metaphorical meanings of this word which can be considered as a part of our educational system. The description of functioning of the human body is projected onto abstract and concrete objects and environmental phenomena around us.

The study population consisted of Sukamulya village residents, and 463 Sukamulya village residents were sampled using total sampling. SPSS Version 26 for Windows was used for univariate and bivariate Chi-Square analysis. The results showed that 228 (49.2%) out of 463 of respondents had poor WASH practices. The results of the correlation test showed that there was a correlation between level of education and WASH practices with a score of Chi-Square 17,564 (p-value = 0,002). There is a correlation between education level and WASH practices at the stunting locus. Education affects a person’s perspective and decision-making, including environmental hygiene and health. Thus, the government and policymakers should hold WASH programs to educate the public about keeping the stunting locus clean.

En un contexto histórico en donde es clara la relación de la humanidad con la arquitectura, en tanto nos han aportado un inmenso legado ético y estético, y que, sin embargo, en la situación actual de la arquitectura se muestra en contradicción ya que prevalece el interés económico y la pronta ganancia por sobre el cuidado de la naturaleza, la sustentabilidad en las ciudades, la identificación estética de la arquitectura y el encuentro social a través del espacio público, se podría tener una primera caracterización de la arquitectura de emergencia. Los once trabajos aquí presentados colocan al centro el quehacer arquitectónico y desde ese punto ofrecen un contexto y diversidad de prácticas y respuestas. Dichos textos cuentan con reflexiones teóricas, exposición de búsquedas a manera de prácticas y valoraciones críticas de ejercicios de distintas escalas. Destaca en esta ocasión la práctica profesional del ejercicio “Reconstrucción de la vivienda Chiapas... una reflexión”, misma que nace del ejercicio mismo, de la búsqueda de soluciones en campo y no del ejercicio de investigación.

OBJECTIVE: We aimed to evaluate whether cognitive functional therapy (CFT) is an effective treatment for adults with chronic low back pain (LBP).

DESIGN: Intervention systematic review with meta-analysis.

LITERATURE SEARCH: We searched 4 electronic databases (CENTRAL, CINAHL, MEDLINE, and Embase) and 2 clinical trial registers (ClinicalTrials. gov and the EU Clinical Trials Register) from inception up to March 2022.

STUDY SELECTION CRITERIA: We included randomized controlled trials evaluating CFT for adults with LBP.

DATA SYNTHESIS: The primary outcomes were pain intensity and disability. Secondary outcomes were psychological status, patient satisfaction, global improvement, and adverse events. Risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias 2 tool. Certainty of evidence was assessed using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluations (GRADE) approach. Random-effects meta-analysis with the Hartung-Knapp-Sidik-Jonkman adjustment was used to estimate pooled effects.

RESULTS: Fifteen trials were included (9 ongoing and 1 terminated), of which 5 provided data (n = 507; n = 262 CFT, and n = 245 control). There was very low certainty for the effectiveness of CFT compared to manual therapy plus core exercises (2 studies, n = 265) for reducing pain intensity (mean difference: −1.02/10, 95% confidence interval: −14.75, 12.70) and disability (mean difference: −6.95/100, 95% confidence interval: −58.58, 44.68). Narrative synthesis showed mixed results for pain intensity, disability, and secondary outcomes. No adverse events were reported. All studies were judged to be at high risk of bias.

CONCLUSION: Cognitive functional therapy may not be more effective than other common interventions for reducing pain and disability in adults with chronic LBP. The effectiveness of CFT is very uncertain and will remain so until higher-quality studies are available. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2023;53(5):244–285.

Objetivo: Discutir a relevância da avaliação epidemiológica das intoxicações exógenas em crianças e como o levantamento destes dados podem fornecer interpretação dos aspectos toxicológicos envolvidos nessa faixa etária. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo de revisão da literatura, a partir de plataformas de pesquisa científica, foram realizadas buscas na BVS, SciELO, LILACS e Pubmed. Para reunir e sintetizar as informações-chave do estudo foi elaborado um instrumento que continha as seguintes variáveis: título, país e ano de publicação, nome dos autores, objetivo, metodologia e principais resultados. Resultados: Todos os artigos descritos nos resultados deste estudo utilizaram o Sistema Nacional de Informações Tóxico-Farmacológicas (SINITOX), que tem como objetivo principal coordenar a coleta, a compilação, a análise e a divulgação dos casos de intoxicação e envenenamento notificados no país. A intoxicação pode apresentar manifestações clínicas no organismo resultados da interação com determinados agentes químicos exógenos ao corpo. Considerações finais: As intoxicações alimentares em comparação com outros tipos de intoxicação, é a menos notificada nos órgãos responsáveis.  Ficou evidente que é preciso maior investigação dos sinais e sintomas clínicos por parte do SINITOX sobre a Intoxicação exógena em crianças.

Objectives:

The objectives of this study were to report the hospital-based incidence and a rare case series of Marcus Gunn jaw-winking phenomenon (MGJWP) in patients with congenital ptosis

Material and Methods:

This was a retrospective non-interventional case series. The medical records of all patients diagnosed with MGJWP over the past 3.5 years were retrieved from the electronic medical record. Patients with documented evidence of the presence of ptosis with MGJWP were included and analyzed for visual acuity, the presence of squint and amblyopia, and the presence of other aberrant regenerations.

Results:

A total of 198 patients were diagnosed with congenital ptosis, out of which 23 (11.6%) patients had MGJWP along with congenital ptosis and 175 (84.4%) patients have congenital ptosis without MGJWP. There were 12 males and 11 females. The mean age at presentation was 10.35 ± 8.4 years (range from 2 to 28 years). All the patients presented unilateral MGJWP. The right eye was involved in seven patients (30.4%) and the left eye in 16 patients (69.5%). Most of the patients had observed the onset of MGJWP by parents since birth. Visual acuity was measured by Snellen’s distance acuity chart in 15 patients. Eight patients were preverbal, and their vision was assessed by the fixation pattern, which was central, steady, and maintained. Nine patients (39.1%) were emmetropic, seven patients (30.4%) had astigmatism, and seven patients were amblyopic in the affected eye. Strabismus was noted in nine patients (39.1%) in this study. Monocular elevation deficiency was noted in five patients, three patients have exotropia, and one had hypotropia.

Conclusion:

All the patients had a mild form of MGJWP with no intervention required in any of the cases. The hospital-based incidence of MGJWP in congenital ptosis is 11.6%. Most of the patients had observed the onset of MGJWP by their parents since birth.

The activity coefficients of ions in polymeric ion-exchange membranes (IEMs) dictates the equilibrium partitioning coefficient of the ions between the membrane and the liquid. It also affects ion transport processes, such as conductivity, in ion-exchange membranes. Accurately predicting the ion activity coefficient without experimental data has been elusive as most models are empirical or semi-empirical. This work employs an embedding process that maps microscopic and macroscopic properties for modeling of ion activity coefficients in IEMs with molecular dynamics and machine learning (ML). This strategy is effective for accurately predicting activity coefficients in various IEMs materials including random copolymer and block copolymer systems. ML algorithms are increasingly being used for the analysis of complex systems when limited knowledge is available. The framework uses small experimental activity coefficient datasets in conjunction with polymer structure information and molecular attributes describing the solvation of ions and polymers to predict the ion activity coefficient in IEMs. Two different ML models were developed to estimate the molecular attributes and the ion activity coefficient. The best ML model accurately predicts the solvation descriptors and ion activity coefficient with an average mean absolute error of <7% and 10%, respectively. Adopting the said approach allow for the estimation of ion activity coefficients in IEMs without the need for new time-consuming MD simulation runs and experiments.
