Authors: Mawlah Yasir , Darraji Mustafa , Imari Mustafa
Published: September 2022

Background: Infertility is a serious health issue that affects people all around the world. One of the most common reasons for male infertility is sperm abnormalities. Researchers and scientists have been searching for a novel genetic marker to detect or recognize the genetic malfunction that causes sperm abnormalities. Micro-RNA (miRNAs) are small non-coded RNA molecules that present intra and extra-cellular and regulate gene expression. Objective: This studies began to search for a relation between miRNA expression levels and other diseases that may be related to them, considering that the main role of miRNAs was the down-regulation of genes. Methods: The main technique used in this study was to synthesize a complementary DNA (cDNA) (revers transcription method) of extracted total RNA by TRIzol then amplification of candidates’ miRNAs genes by Reverse Transcriptase Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction RT-qPCR. Results: Studies found that miRNAs have a role in defining sperm qualities such as sperm count, motility, and shape. In this study, we chose the most miRNAs referred to in the previous study as a potential seminal fluid marker (miR-10a, miR-10b, miR-135a and miR-135b) to test them as potential infertility-related miRNAs markers (Asthenospermia AS, Oligospermia OS, Astheno-Oligospermia ASOS) in addition to health normal sperm NS. Conclusion: the main aim of this study was to find the miRNAs expression pattern to find a way to help scientists track the genetic causes of male infertility issues and a novel method to distinguish infertility genetically diseases. Conclusion: The findings may serve as a potential genetic marker for male infertility and provide a background for future research that targeted miRNAs as a molecular marker for medical and forensic fields, also as an infertility disease potential treatment.

Authors: Mohamedamin Pakstan , Fatahi Nabi
Published: September 2022

Background: violence is considered to be a global phenomenon; committing violence significantly impacts individuals physical and psychological states. There are several risk factors for increasing violence, of which personality traits represent the most substantial risk. Objective: the current research aims to examine the association among the ‘big five’ risk factors and involvement in violence among high school students in the north of Iraq. Methods: The sample comprised 468 students, 242 boys, and 226 girls aged 16 to 20. Two self-report instruments were used for data collection. Firstly, we divided the Maudsly Violence Questionnaire into two factors: acceptance of violence and machismo. Secondly, we used the Big Five Inventory, which includes questions on extraversion, neuroticism, agreeableness, consciousness, and openness. Result: the result showed a significant positive correlation between extraversion, neuroticism, and violence involvement. Agreeableness, openness, and consciousness were negatively correlated. In terms of demographic variables, the findings suggest that boys are more likely to be involved in violence than girls. The results indicated that personality traits neuroticism, extraversion, agreeableness, openness, and consciousness predicted violence. Conclusion: personality traits significantly impact individuals’ behaviors that reflect their lives. The potential for violence is a predictor for detecting and preventing violent actions and could be used in many justices and governmental systems.

Published: September 2022

Background: Coronary New blood in the vascular bed after Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) may represent a turning point between ischemia and normal tissue nutrition. Its quantification can help to better understand coronary artery hemodynamics after revascularization. Objective: Quantification of coronary sinus blood flow changes over time after Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) using Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE). Methods: Prospective basic research, with repeated measurements on hospital sample of 61 patients whom CABG was conducted. We performed TTE recordings to measure CS flow before and two times after CABG (1 and 6 postoperative day). We measure CS diameter, Velocity Time Integral (VTI) and systemic hemodynamic data. Data needed for LV mass calculation were recorded once. During statistical analysis we define: α = 0,01, β = 0,01 (power = 1- β β= 0,99), Sample size = 60, Effect size= 0,68. We used ANOVA for Repeated Measures as main statistical test in SPSS. Results: Preoperatively we found low overall CS flow of 181 ±72 ml/min (0,68 ±0,30 ml/gram-LV/min). After surgery there was constant increase of CS flow from 276 ±79 ml/min (1,13 ±0,35 ml/gram-LV/min) first postoperative day, to 355 (±99) ml/min (1,30 ±0,46 ml/gram-LV/min) sixth postoperative day. Discussion: Amount of new blood was statistically significant after CABG with P<0,001. Same result was found after classifying patients per number of graft received, with the highest amount of new blood after four bypasses. Amount of new blood was not different if patient gets two or three bypasses. Conclusion: There was significantly new amount of blood in coronary bed after CABG, with constant increase over first 6 days.

Published: September 2022

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is one of the most serious neurodegenerative diseases. PD is characterized by progressive death of dopamine producing cells in Substantia nigra pars compacta within human brain causing serious locomotor defects such as tremor as well as non-motor symptoms including metabolic deficiency and constipation. Despite the plethora of information regarding the underlying mechanisms related to locomotion impairment, signal pathways/genes involved in metabolic deficiency and constipation remain unclear. This study aims to explore the most important key genes involved in metabolic syndrome and constipation observed in PD patients. To achieve this goal, real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT PCR) of a group of genes supposed in previous findings to have a role in these syndromes in rotenone - induced PD Drosophila model was performed. One -day- old Canton S flies were fed on filter paper saturated with rotenone glucose solution(5mM rotenone in 10% glucose) at 25 ̊C for 24h.Thereafter, we focus on genes whose up-regulated expression level for all subsequent experiment. Next, metabolic parameters (total protein, lipid and carbohydrates), rate of food consumption and defecation in flies that’s knocking down in the corresponding genes were evaluated. Results revealed that feeding rate decreased when CG17544 and CG16848 genes were up-regulated; consequently those flies had reduced body weight. Meanwhile, knocking down CG16848 and CG12913. This study provide evidence that using the human homologues of these Drosophila genes for molecular docking of new pharmacotherapeutics may help to enhance the quality of life of PD patients through improving metabolism as well as defecation.

Published: September 2022

Objectives: This study aimed to compare changes in the lower dental arch after bonding two different shapes of Nickel titanium fixed retainers. The study was focused on whether the different shapes and sizes of retainers influence periodontal tissue response during one year of the post-treatment phase. Material and methods: Sixty subjects in total, of age (16-25), were randomly divided into two groups, every 30 subjects, upon finishing orthodontic treatment. Each group was divided into two subgroups according to growth factor (16-19) and (20_25) years old. First group FR was bonded Flat Nickel-titanium Retainer, thickness .010” x .029”, manufactured by Forestadent and to other 30 other subjects was bonded multistranded round Nickel -titanium retainer thickness ø 0.44mm/17”, manufactured by Dentaurum. Subjects had to come for checkups in 3,6,9, and 12 months, where four periodontal parameters were evaluated Plaque Index, Calculus Index, Gingival Index and Probing Depth. Results: There were statistically significant differences for the Plaque Index in favour of the Flat retainer. Also, the Gingival Index was higher in the Round retainer group but only after 12 months of retention. Pocket depth values increased in the first 3 months and then again showed the difference in the 12-month follow-up. Conclusions: Flat retainers showed less periodontal tissue response, lower Plaque Index, Gingival Index and less Pocket Depth compared to the Round retainers used in this study. But again, we found both types of fixed retainers initiate some periodontal response anyway.

Introduction: Dengue infections have become a considerable threat to public health systems in developing countries. This study determines seroprevalence of dengue virus, seropositivity of Dengue NS1 antigen, IgM and IgG antibodies, Seasonal variation of dengue infection, and demographic profile of dengue-positive patients.
Methods:
A retrospective study was conducted at the Microbiology Department of Gayatri Vidya Parishad Institute of Health Care and Medical Technology, Visakhapatnam, India, from January 2018 to December 2019. A total of 5554 samples were collected from patients who were suspected of suffering from Dengue fever in the Medicine and Paediatrics wards.
The patients were checked using Dengue Duo rapid test method from a commercial supply for combined Dengue NS1 antigen, IgM, and IgG antibody detection.
Results:
A total of 5554 serum samples were analyzed, among which 1045 were Dengue positive. The seroprevalence of dengue was 21.13% (95% confidence intervals (CI) 19.8– 22.6%) in 2018 and 15.40% (95% CI 13.9– 16.9%) in 2019. NS1 was positive in 835 (79.9%), IgM was positive in 26 (2.48%), IgG was positive in 116 (11.10%), and 68 were positive with both antigens and both antibodies. An outbreak occurred from July to October, indicating increased vector transmission in the monsoon and post-monsoon periods.
Conclusion: The present study confirms that Dengue is mainly a disease of the rainy season, and effective implementation of vector control measures through efforts toward vector breeding source reduction and using personal prophylactic measures against mosquito bites will help in reducing the dengue prevalence in the community.

Authors: Louis Muller , Chacon Daniel , Adereti Christopher , Sanz Alexander , Prieto Claudia , Quailey Cheyenne , Powis Tahirah
Published: September 2022

People living with a disability represent one of the most marginalized populations, with substantial disparities being observed in healthcare utilization. This extends to colorectal cancer screening, as people living with disability are significantly less likely to receive or attend cancer screening programs. Although it is proposed that people with disability share many of the same barriers to cancer screening as people without disabilities, the low utilization rate among people with disabilities suggests that there are additional barriers and challenges. Hence, this literature review aims to identify and discuss the barriers to colorectal cancer screening in people with disabilities, inclusive of both physical and intellectual disabilities. We identified a range of barriers at individual and systemic levels that had a substantial impact on the participation in colorectal cancer screening by people with disabilities.
Comparison of deep neck infections in children and adults from diagnosis to treatment: A cross-sectional retrospective study
Authors: Sizer Bilal , rma Enes , lmaz mit , u smail
Published: September 2022

Background: Although deep neck infections (DNI) are less common today with antibiotics and oral care, they carry a serious risk of morbidity and mortality, especially when complications develop. These infections spread in potential cavities created by the layers of the deep neck fascia. Since the process of DNI in children and adults may differ, it was aimed to examine the patients in two groups, children and adults. Demographic characteristics, clinical findings, diagnosis and treatment processes of children and adults with DNI were presented and compared. In addition, another aim of the study was to examine the differences between the most common deep neck infections in the study.
Methods: The medical files of 166 patients aged 1-78 years diagnosed with DNI were scanned retrospectively. In our study, when the differences between adults and children were taken into account about DNI, the 9 most common diagnoses were compared in terms of age, complaints, examination findings, radiological imaging reports, complete blood count, C-Reactive Protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, surgical procedures, medical treatment, hospitalization time and mortality rates.
Results: The three most common causes of DNI were dental problems, lymphadenitis and tonsillitis. When the imaging methods requested for diagnosis were examined, it was seen that 52.4%(n=87) of those performed were computed tomography and 43.4%(n=72) ultrasonography. During treatment, all patients received prophylactic antibiotherapy. Tracheostomy was performed in 9 of 15 patients who developed respiratory distress during follow-up.
Conclusions: Although the decreasing frequency of DNI, technological developments and increasing awareness, it still carries a serious risk of mortality and morbidity due to its potential and important complications. Due to inadequate dental and oral care, dental problems are still the most important factor in the aetiology of DNI. Reducing morbidity and mortality depends on rapid diagnosis and appropriate treatment selection.

Published: September 2022

Background: Theory lectures in pharmacology are covering various oral and parenteral routes of drug administration, mainly focusing on knowledge domain, but soft and psychomotor skills were less taught in undergraduate students. Demonstrating correct method of subcutaneous route of drug administration and communication skills as introduced by competency-based medical education (CBME) competency-based curriculum will help in early acquisition of the skills and minimize the errors in administration in insulin, heparin, and vaccines.

Aim and Objectives: The aims of this study were to teach the subcutaneous drug administration (S/C) and communication skills to undergraduate students in pharmacology and to evaluate the perception of students and teachers toward new CBME curriculum.

Materials and Methods: Correct technique of subcutaneous drug administration was demonstrated on mannequins after browsing through the videos of S/C route. Students were told to perform it independently on mannequins. Perception of students and staff members were collected with pre-validated questionnaire provided after the practical teaching hours.

Results: In our study, majority of students (94%) felt that learning S/C route of drug administration correctly will help in managing various patients like administration of insulin in diabetic patients in their near future days. They were well advanced in communicating with patients regarding usage of medications and were (90%) also in favor of introduction of this experiment in UG curriculum.

Conclusions: Our study concluded that subcutaneous teaching technique introduced by CBME curriculum in practical classes was well accepted by students and were more confident in soft skills and psychomotor skills at the end of the study.

Published: September 2022

Background: Now-a-days, myocardial infarction (MI) is one of the most prevalent disorders. Lack of blood supply causes MI/heart attacks. Ischemia or a lack of oxygen causes heart tissue damage and is ultimately fatal. Several studies demonstrated the association of magnesium deficiency with MI.

Aim and Objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate the levels of serum magnesium in MI patients and to compare them with normal healthy individuals.

Materials and Methods: The present study assessed magnesium levels in 50 MI and another 50 without MI, healthy participants serve as a control. All the study participants were recruited from Government Medical College, Amritsar.

Results: In normal individuals (n = 50), the Mean ± standard deviation (SD) of serum magnesium was 1.994 ± 0.28 mg/dl and SE. of 0.04, while in MI patients Mean ± SD was 1.13 ± 0.49 mg/dl and SE of 0.07. The mean of magnesium was significant (t = 10.8, P < 0.001) high in MI patients as compared to the control.

Conclusion: Thus, it concludes that magnesium can be used as a diagnostic investigation tool for assessing patients suffering from MI.

Proletariaatti, intelligentsija ja kulttuuri Neuvostoliiton musiikkipolitiikassa 1920- ja 1930-luvuilla
Authors: Parkkinen Jari
Published: September 2022

Artikkeli käsittelee työväen ja kulttuurin käsitteellistämistä Neuvostoliiton musiikkikeskusteluissa 1920- ja 1930-luvuilla. Työväen ja proletariaatin käsitteet olivat keskeisessä roolissa Neuvostoliiton kulttuuripoliittista suuntaa kehitettäessä, ja myös Neuvostoliiton musiikkikentällä nähtiin järjestäytymistä ja poliittista asemoitumista proletariaatin käsitettä hyödyntämällä. Proletariaatin käsitteestä neuvoteltiin suhteessa Venäjän imperiumin ajalta säilyneisiin musiikki-instituutioihin, ohjelmistoihin ja laajemmin nk. musiikki-intelligentsijan asemaan ja käytänteisiin, mikä muokkasi ”proletariaatin” ja ”proletaarikulttuurin” merkityksiä ja käyttötapoja. Tämä keskustelu osoittaa, kuinka työväen kaltaiset, näennäisen selkeätkin yhteiskuntasuhteita kuvaavat käsitteet, joutuvat poliittisten muutosten myötä uudelleenmerkityksellistämisen kohteiksi ja muovaavat sitä, mitä ”proletariaatilla” tai ”työväenkulttuurilla” voidaan tarkoittaa.

Tämä Väki Voimakas -vuosikirja sisältää runsaasti näkökulmia ja tulkintoja, jotka sivuavat eri tavoin kysymystä siitä, miten suomalainen työväenliike ja ennen kaikkea sen tekijöinä toimineet yksilöt jäsensivät liikkeen ideologiaa ja poliittisia tavoitteita suhteessa uskonnollisuuteen. Eräs kirjanjohtoajatuksista on kriittisyys edellä hahmoteltuja kahtiajakoja kohtaan. Artikkelien tarkoituksena on monipuolistaa näköaloja työväenliikkeen historiaan etenkin suunnalla, jota on pitkään määrittänyt jyrkkä katkos kirkon ja poliittisesti organisoituvan sosiaalidemokratian välillä. Tässä tutkimuksellinen katse ei kuitenkaan rakennu liikkeiden ja instituutioiden tasolta käsin vaan se etsii vastauksia kysymykseen, mitä 1900-luvun taitteen yksilöt saattoivat ajatella ja kokea luoviessaan työväenliikkeen, sosialistisen ideologian, luterilaisen kirkon ja toisaalta myös henkilökohtaisten vakaumusten punomissa rihmastoissa – joissa ei ollut aina selvää, missä yksi käsitteellinen kategoria alkoi ja toinen loppui.
Työväkeä tavoittamassa
Authors: Sopanen Matleena
Published: September 2022

Artikkelissani tutkin työväestöön kohdennettua sisälähetystyötä 1800- ja 1900-lukujen taitteen Suomessa. Modernisaation murroksessa evankelis-luterilaisen kirkon ympärille rakentunut perinteinen kristillinen tapakulttuuri alkoi hiljalleen murentua muun muassa teollistumisen, yhteiskunnan demokratisoitumisen sekä uusien hengellisten ja maallisten maailmankuvien ristipaineessa. Kirkko koki etenkin eriuskolaisten sekä nousevan työväenliikkeen pyrkivän horjuttamaan sen vakiintunutta asemaa. Vaikka työväestön vaatimukset elinolosuhteidensa ja oikeuksiensa parantamisesta herättivät papeissa jonkin verran vastakaikua, koki sielunpaimenien enemmistö kirkkoa ja papistoa kritisoivan sosialistisen työväenliikkeen olevan uhka yhteiskuntarauhalle. Tehostetun sisälähetyksen keinoin työväen toivottiin pysyvän kristinuskon ja kirkon vaikutuspiirissä. Tarkastelen sisälähetyksen kenttää maallikkosaarnaajien kautta. Artikkelissani keskiössä ovat Suomen evankelis-luterilaisen kirkon saarnalupatutkinnon suorittamiseen pyrkineet miehet. Saarnaluvan saaneet maallikot työskentelivät sekä paikallisseurakuntien että kristillisen yhdistyskentän palveluksessa. Nopeasti muuttuvassa yhteiskunnassa myös maallikkosaarnaajien asema tuli uudenlaisen kiinnostuksen kohteeksi: niin yhdistykset kuin kirkkokin pyrkivät kasvavassa määrin hyödyntämään maallikoiden osaamista sisälähetystyössä. Samanaikaisesti epävakaat ajat ruokkivat tarvetta maallikkosaarnaajien heterogeenisen joukon tarkempaan valvontaan. Työväestöön kohdistuvan sisälähetyksen lisäksi tarkastelen artikkelissani myös maallikkosaarnaajan asemaa modernisoituvassa Suomessa.
Sosiaalidemokraattinen työväenliike ja moderni länsimainen esoteria 1900-luvun alun Suomessa
Authors: Harmainen Antti , Järvenpää Juuso , Kemppainen Mikko

Artikkeli kartoittaa Suomen Sosialidemokraattisessa Puolueessa (SDP) vaikuttaneiden henkilöiden kautta esoteeristen aatteiden vaikutusta puolueen ideologiassa. Erityisenä tapaustutkimuksena kirjoittajat nostavat esille Tampereen työväenliikkeen piirissä toimineita henkilöitä, joiden keskuudessa esoteeristen liikkeiden välittämät ihanteet saivat jalansijaa. Artikkeli osoittaa, että huolimatta muutamien puolueen johtavien ideologien kielteisestä suhtautumisesta huolimatta esimerkiksi teosofia ja spiritualismi herättivät kiinnostusta aina SDP:n poliittisia ydinverkostoja myöten.

Tämänvuotinen Työväen historian ja perinteen tutkimuksen seuran Väki voimakas -sarjan vuosikirja käsittelee seksin ja seksuaalisuuden teemaa työväen näkökulmasta. Jo varhain suomalaisessa työväenhistoriassa ja -tutkimuksessa on käsitelty luokan ja sukupuolen välistä yhteyttä. Vuosikirja jatkaa tätä tutkimuksellista perinnettä, ja siinä lähestytään seksin ja seksuaalisuuden merkitystä suomalaisen työn, työväen ja työväenliikkeen historiassa ja nykyisyydessä. Seksin ja seksuaalisuuden tutkiminen sosiaalisena ilmiönä ja konstruktiona avaa myös uusia näkökulmia työväen historiassa ja tutkimuksessa. Työväki ja seksuaaliset vähemmistöt ovat historiassa usein olleet vallankäytön kohteena. Edelleen monissa maissa työväen ja seksuaalisten vähemmistöjen oikeuksia rajoitetaan ja heidän oikeuksiaan kyseenalaistetaan. Suomi ja Pohjoismaat eivät ole tässä poikkeus vaan myös täällä etenkin nationalistiset ja arvokonservatiiviset voimat tahtovat rajoittaa työväen ja eri vähemmistöjen oikeuksia palauttaakseen kuvitteellisia “perinteisiä” kansallisia arvoja yhteiskuntaan.
Liikaa vai liian vähän lapsia?
Authors: Suominen Riikka
Published: September 2022

Riikka Suomisen artikkeli käsittelee reproduktion murrosta naisten lisääntymiseen liittyvien toiveiden ja pyrkimysten kautta 1900-luvun alun Suomessa. Reproduktion murros viittaa 1900-luvun alkupuoliskolla tapahtuneeseen väestölliseen muuntumiseen, jolloin lasten saamiseen liittyvä ajattelu ja toimintamallit muuttuivat ja kokonaishedelmällisyys pieneni pysyvästi. Suominen tuo tutkimuksessaan esille, millaisia lastensaantiin liittyviä toiveita ja -pyrkimyksiä naisilla oli 1900-luvun alun Suomessa. Hän lähestyy kysymystä kolmesta näkökulmasta: millaisia pyrkimyksiä naisilla oli saada lapsia, säännöstellä syntyvyyttä ja keskeyttää raskaus?
Lydia Virtanen Karkkilan profeettana ja keisarina
Authors: Lintunen Tiina , Rentola Kimmo
Published: September 2022

Tiina Lintunen ja Kimmo Rentola tarkastelevat artikkelissaan yhteiskunnan naiselle asettamia odotuksia sekä poliittisen jayhteiskunnallisen toiminnan mahdollisuuksia 1900-luvun alun ja puolivälin Suomessa erään poikkeuksellisen naisen kautta. Tarkastelun keskiössä on karkkilalainen Lydia Virtanen (1901–76). Hän oli jo 1920-luvulla johtamassa ensin vasemmistonuorten julkista ja sitten kommunistien salaista toimintaa Högforsissa. Sodan jälkeen kommunistien aseman laillistuessa hänen asemansa paikkakunnan poliittisessa elämässä vankistui. Vaatimattomista oloista lähtöisin olevasta ompelijasta tuli kauppalan henkinen johtaja, jota alettiin kutsua Karkkilan profeetaksi tai maskuliinisesti Karkkilan keisariksi. Lydia Virtanen rikkoi monenlaisia rajoja, myös yksityiselämänsä puolella. Hänen rakkautensa naiseen oli tarkasti varjeltu salaisuus. Artikkelissa pohditaan, miten oli mahdollista, että kahdesti valtiopetoksellisesta toiminnasta tuomittu naimaton työläisnainen saavutti korkean statuksen erittäin miesvaltaisessa yhteisössä ja nautti arvonantoa yli sukupuolten ja puoluekentän rajojen.
Muukalaisten seksualisointi sodanjälkeisessä suomenruotsalaisessa tehdasyhteisössä
Authors: Kaihovirta Matias
Published: September 2022

Matias Kaihovirta tutkii artikkelissaan  ruotsinkielisen ruukintyöläisen ja ay-toimitsijan Alfons Flemmichinpäiväkirjojen valossa sukupuolittuneita ja seksualisoivia käsityksiä suomenkielisistä työntekijöistä, jotka muuttivat kaksikieliselle Åminneforsin tehdaspaikkakunnalle toisen maailmansodan jälkeisenä ajanjaksona. Päiväkirjassa suomalaisia muuttajia kohtaan esiintyy muukalaisvihamielisiä näkemyksiä, jotka perustuivat ruotsinkielisen työväestön omaksumaan suomenruotsalaiseen etnonationalismiin. Artikkeli avaa myös tältä osin historiallisen näkökulman etnonationalismin ja sukupuolen yhteyksiin, mikä on läsnä myös nykypäivän suomalaisessa työelämässä.

Bioenergía a Partir de Biomasa Residual Estudio de Caso: Plaza de Mercado Trinidad Galán de Bogotá D.C
Authors: Varela Berna Carlos Yesid Varela , López German Arturo
Published: September 2022

La biomasa residual, producida a diario en las plazas de mercado de la ciudad de Bogotá, está conformada por residuos orgánicos no procesados, que tienen potencial energético aprovechable para convertirse en bioenergía (calor o electricidad), mediante la biodigestión anaeróbica; además, de producir un sustrato estable que puede servir como enmienda agrícola. Se realiza un estudio de caso en la plaza de mercado Trinidad Galán, que indica que es posible instalar un sistema de aprovechamiento de este recurso para la producción de electricidad y suministro de calor. El sistema propuesto, tiene como objetivo poder generar un ahorro energético y posibles rendimientos económicos mediante la comercialización de la enmienda generada. Estos ahorros y beneficios ayudarían a cubrir los costos de construcción, instalación y operación del sistema, haciéndolo autosostenible.

Verzekeraars verbreken relatie met frauderende belangenbehartiger. Rb. Den Haag (vzr.) 25 mei 2022, ECLI:NL:RBDHA:2022:5296

Twee verzekeraars constateerden, na een daartoe strekkend onderzoek, dat een belangenbehartiger, die een slachtoffer bijstond die in korte tijd tweemaal betrokken was bij een verkeersongeval, dezelfde schade bij ieder van hen had geclaimd. Hierop hebben de verzekeraars de samenwerking met de belangenbehartiger opgezegd. Voorts zijn zijn gegevens in het Extern Verwijzingsregister opgenomen. De belangenbehartiger kwam hiertegen op bij de Haagse voorzieningenrechter. De rechter stelde de verzekeraars echter in het gelijk. De getroffen maatregelen waren juist en proportioneel. Ook in een gelijktijdig gestart deelgeschil trok de frauderende belangenbehartiger aan het kortste eind.

Tillaux fracture in adults: Case report and review of literature
Authors: Mansurov Djalolidin , Juraev Ilkhom , Mukhsinov Kakhramon
Published: September 2022

Avulsion fractures of the distal tibia with rupture of the anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament are known as Tillo’s fractures. This injury is commonly seen in adolescents as type III Salter-Harris epiphysiolysis due to distal weakness of the tibia due to closure of the epiphysis. In adult patients, this type of fracture becomes atypical due to the presumed tear of the ligament to the bone avoiding avulsion. However, in recent decades, some cases have been described in the literature.The aim of this study is to present a case of Tillo’s fracture in an adult and add a comprehensive review of the literature regarding the mechanism of injury, associated lesions, treatment, postoperative care, and follow-up.
