Rationale. BRCA1 associated triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is one of the most aggressive subtypes of breast cancer. At the same time, carcinomas that develop in carriers of BRCA1 mutations are characterized by extremely high sensitivity to DNA-damaging chemotherapy. Mitomycin C alone or in combination with platinum agents has already demonstrated promising results in the treatment of BRCA-associated ovarian cancer (OC) and metastatic breast cancer. In this article, we present the results of a retrospective study aimed at comparing standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimens (NACT) with mitomycin-based regimens for primary locally advanced BRCA1-associated TNBC.

The aim of the study is to determine the effectiveness of the combination of mitomycin and platinum compounds during neoadjuvant therapy in patients with primary locally advanced BRCA1 – associated TNBC.

Materials and methods. The study included 89 patients diagnosed with primary locally advanced BRCA1-associated TNBC. Patients were divided into three groups depending on the therapy: 1) 4 cycles of anthracycline and cyclophosphamide followed by 12 weekly injections of paclitaxel (n = 48) (AC + T), 2) 4 cycles of anthracycline and cyclophosphamide followed by 12 weekly injections of paclitaxel and carboplatin (n = 27) (AC + TCbP), 3) mitomycin C plus platinum followed by 12 weekly injections of paclitaxel (n = 14) (MR + T). Pathological complete response (pCR) rates were compared.

Results. The pCR rate in the MP+T group was 10/14 (71%). In patients with BRCA1-associated breast cancer who received AC + T and AC + TCbP regimens as NACT, the pCR rate was 17/48 (35%) and 19/27 (70%), respectively. The difference in pCR rate between mitomycin-containing therapy and the standard AC + T regimen was statistically significant (p = 0.03); the frequency of regressions was comparable to the frequency in the AC + TCbP group. During the 20-month follow-up period, no relapses were observed in the MR + T group. Relapses were more frequent in the AC + T group compared with the AC + TCbP group (16/48 (33%) vs 1/27 (4%), p = 0.003, Fisher’s exact test). The toxicity profile of the mitomycin-containing regimen included hematologic adverse events, the most common of which were anemia and leukopenia. Compared to standard regimens, nausea was significantly less pronounced. No patients reported alopecia with this regimen.

Conclusions. The addition of mitomycin C to neoadjuvant therapy for BRCA1-associated TNBC may be a promising treatment option for this category of patients and merits further study.

Recently, the role of vitamin imbalance in carcinogenesis has been actively discussed. Studies aimed at assessing their role in the processes of cancer development are various, and the evaluation of the initial level of vitamins is relevant when planning antitumor therapy.

Objective. To determine the state of the initial level of B vitamins and homocysteine before chemotherapy in patients of different oncologic profile.

Material sand Methods. The level of vitamins B1, B6, B9, active form of B12* and homocysteine in fresh frozen plasma was determined by enzyme[1]linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using test systems in 66 patients with verified malignant neoplasms before chemotherapy. The study included 66 patients: women n=40 and men n=26, with cancer: gastric n=12, colorectal cancer n=21, cancer lung n=11, cancer pelvic organs n=22.

Results. According to the results of the study the increase in the level of holotranscobalamin (Holo-TC) and decrease in homocysteine in comparison with reference values was observed in 100% of cases. Significant difference was found only for B1: reliable differences between patients with colorectal cancer and with pelvic cancer (in the latter the mean value of B1 levels was 2.4 times higher at p = 0.0425). According to the results of correlation analysis, a weak correlation between B12 and B9 was determined. When comparing the levels of vitamin B12 and homocysteine in patients after surgical treatment and without it, no significant differences were found.

Conclusion. Increased Holo-TC levels and decreased homocysteine levels by ELISA are characteristic of all varieties of solid cancer, independent of sex, age, stage and previous surgical intervention. A relative decrease in vitamin B1 is characteristic of colorectal cancer

Choice of adjuvant therapy for HER2-positive breast cancer in real clinical practice: analysis of physician preferences in the Russian Federation
Authors: Lubennikova E. V. , Artamonova E. V.
Published: May 2024

Adjuvant therapy with trastuzumab made a significant contribution to improving disease-free and overall survival rates in patients with HER2-positive breast cancer. However, in a number of clinical situations the risk of disease recurrence remains increased. Carrying out neoadjuvant treatment followed by post-neoadjuvant therapy, depending on the degree of pathomorphological response, is the modern standard, allowing to cure a significantly larger number of patients. This became possible thanks to the expansion of the arsenal of terget anti-Her drugs and the introduction into real clinical practice of double anti-HER2 blockade (trastuzumab + pertuzumab) and an antibody conjugate with a cytostatic drug – trastuzumab emtansine. To assess actual clinical practice in the Russian Federation, a survey study “Therapy of HER2-positive breast cancer” was conducted. The survey involved 50 specialists from different regions of the country who are directly involved in developing a treatment plan for patients, which allows them to reflect the preferences of leading chemotherapists regarding tactics for HER2-positive breast cancer. This publication reflects the results of part of the survey, devoted to the choice of adjuvant and post-neoadjuvant therapy for HER2-positive breast cancer. Identified a clear positive trend in favor of neoadjuvant treatment followed by post-neoadjuvant therapy using modern targeted drugs such as pertuzumab and trastuzumab emtansine. The survey results show that 68% of patients with RCB-II–III residual tumor receive post-neoadjuvant trastuzumab emtanzine, in 2021 this figure was only 24%. The absolute majority of patients who have not received neoadjuvant therapy, but have N2–3 stage, receive double anti-HER2 therapy with trastuzumab + pertuzumab in the adjuvant setting. High adherence to the therapy was noted, as 97% of patients complete the planned course of T-DM1, and 91.2% of patients complete a year of adjuvant anti-HER2 therapy. These figures are noticeably higher than the indicators of registration studies. Issues of effectiveness come to the fore in choosing therapy. Issues of drug availability remain relevant, but are not decisive. The survey also revealed factors that were not obvious at first glance and influenced treatment results.

Published: May 2024

The problem of non-developing pregnancy (NB) remains relevant due to the rather wide spread of this complication and is due to the search for prognostically significant causes of this pathology, the development of adequate prevention of the detected disorders [1–4]. Polymorphic variants of folate genes lead to excessive accumulation of HC in the blood and hypomethylation of DNA, which contributes to an increase in early miscarriage (the frequency of this pathology is 20–25% of all pregnancies). Carrying out periconceptional prophylaxis with high doses of folic acidreduces the level of free HC in the blood, but this technique is effective only when it begins 3 months before conception and in the early stages of embryo and fetus development (up to 12 weeks). The evaluation of laboratory and clinical data in the course of the study confirmed the effectiveness of the use of folic acid at a dose of 800 mcg in a high risk group for the development of NB (pregnant women with hyperhomocysteinemia (GHZ)) 16 weeks before conception and 12 weeks after conception.
Dark Matter and Dark Energy are Quantum Vacuum?
Authors: Zhang Ning
Published: May 2024

Our paper intends to use the effect caused by quantum vacuum to explain the missing mass problem and the cosmological constant problem. We were inspired by the entropic gravity idea and also noticed the attraction between two cold objects in thermodynamics phenomena. So we made a conjecture for the origin of gravity. Then gravitational and inertial forces can be naturally derived from this conjecture, according to this conjecture, the acceleration will change depending on the distribution of mass and energy in the universe, to solve the problem of the source of extra gravity. Moreover, our paper can explain the changes in rotation curves in the galaxy's outer parts under different external gravitational fields' strengths. At the end of the paper, we show a physical picture to solve the cosmological constant problem and attribute the dark energy as also the effect of vacuum. Here we show the possibility of quantum vacuum as a candidate for dark matter and dark energy.
Note for the Prime Gaps
Authors: Vega Frank
Published: May 2024

A prime gap is the difference between two successive prime numbers. The nth prime gap, denoted $g_{n}$ is the difference between the (n + 1)st and the nth prime numbers, i.e. $g_{n}=p_{n+1}-p_{n}$. There isn't a verified solution to Andrica's conjecture yet. The conjecture itself deals with the difference between the square roots of consecutive prime numbers. While mathematicians have showed it true for a vast number of primes, a general solution remains elusive. The Andrica's conjecture is equivalent to say that $g_{n}<2 \cdot {\sqrt {p_{n}}}+1$ holds for all $n$. In this note, using the divergence of the infinite sum of the reciprocals of all prime numbers, we prove that the Andrica's conjecture is true.
FOR A NEW IMPULSE TO RESEARCH ON SPECIAL RELATIVITY Notes on the mathematical formalism of Special Relativity
Authors: Scano Pier Sandro
Published: May 2024

Special Relativity has been continually taught and studied, for a long time now, essentially without modifications and without substantial developments. As if this theory were a closed chapter. On the contrary, it is full of stimuli and also problems and critical issues. This work shows the necessity of a strong resumption of the research on Special Relativity, which could be very productive both for General Relativity and for fundamental physics tout court. An analysis is conducted of some essential points of its mathematical formalism and of the physical interpretations derived from it. The common thread of the reasoning is constituted by the concept of proper time in the theory, starting from Einstein and Minkowski, up to the discussion on the 'lenght' of proper time, that means the question of geodesics in the curved space, that is in General Relativity. A family of themes far from being exausted. The conclusion is that we don't have a complete and definitive theory of space-time relations at all and that much remains to be done for a satisfying understanding of space and time.

Published: May 2024

Background

The coexistence of heart failure and diabetes is prevalent, particularly in Intensive Care Units (ICU). However, the relationship between the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, heart failure, diabetes, and the length of hospital stay (LHS) in patients with cerebrovascular disease in the ICU remains uncertain. This study aims to investigate the association between the TyG index and LHS in patients with heart failure and diabetes.

Methods

This retrospective study utilized the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC)-IV database to analyze patients with diabetes and heart failure. Participants were categorized into quartiles based on the TyG index, and the primary outcome was LHS. The association between the TyG index at ICU admission and LHS was examined through multivariable logistic regression models, restricted cubic spline regression, and subgroup analysis.

Results

The study included 635 patients with concurrent diabetes and heart failure. The fully adjusted model demonstrated a positive association between the TyG index and LHS. As a tertile variable (Q2 and Q3 vs Q1), the beta (β) values were 0.88 and 2.04, with a 95% confidence interval (95%CI) of -0.68 to 2.44 and 0.33 to 3.74, respectively. As a continuous variable, per 1 unit increment, the β (95% CI) was 1.13 (0.18 to 2.08). The TyG index’s relationship with LHS showed linearity (non-linear p = 0.751). Stratified analyses further confirmed the robustness of this correlation.

Conclusion

The TyG index exhibited a linearly positive association with the LHS in patients with both heart failure and diabetes. Nevertheless, prospective, randomized, controlled studies are imperative to substantiate and validate the findings presented in this investigation.

Published: May 2024

With so many online game players today, various problems arise. There are so many online game players today who carry out buying and selling activities on online game accounts containing virtual objects that are widely available in various marketplaces in Indonesia. However, in these activities, the buyer often suffers losses such as the account being hacked or re-accessed by the seller. For this reason, it is necessary to have the validity of buying and selling online game accounts containing virtual objects, and how to protect the law against the buyer who purchases an account containing virtual objects. This writing uses a normative juridical approach, namely by reviewing the provisions in the Civil Code regarding the validity of buying and selling and most importantly the Law No. 19 of 2016 regarding buying and selling in electronic systems, to then be analyzed descriptively qualitatively, namely by first providing a detailed description and analysis , systematic, and comprehensive regarding the laws and regulations, norms in various countries and legal theories which are then applied to the problems studied. The results of the study show that firstly, the activity of buying and selling online game accounts which contain virtual objects based on the Law No. 19 of 2016 is legal if the organizer does not prohibit the existence of buying and selling activities by third parties. Second, legal protection for buyers who purchase online game accounts containing virtual objects based on Article 30 of the Law No. 19 of 2016 is that the seller is prohibited from re-accessing accounts that have been sold, while based on Article 49 paragraph (3) Regulation No. 71 Of 2019 the buyer has the right to get a return of goods and money if there is a difference between the goods purchased and the goods received.
Glocalization: an analysis into it’s conceptual and strategic underpinnings
Authors: Alamuri Suryanarayana , Aluvala Ravi
Published: May 2024

Glocalization is a “simultaneity—the co-presence—of both universalizing and particularizing tendencies” emphasizing the need for tempering the effects of local conditions on global pressures. While the increasing presence of best-known fast food chain restaurants worldwide such as McDonald’s and KFC is a manifestation of globalization, the shrewd and strategic adaptations of their menu to satiate the local palates and tastes by these “Glocal Enterprises” is illustrative of glocalization. Conversely, the chief point of glocalization perspective is: “even the most local ways of carrying out business operations are more and more co-constituted by economic and social trends that are most global.” Language has a huge role to play in addressing the cultural and linguistic barriers and designing a successful global talent management and language learning solution that is complemented by local support. When used as an extension of the “Think Global, Act Local” grassroots movement, glocalization also refers to market advantage of local businesses versus global companies.  In the face of globalization, both the little guys and would-be entrepreneurs can emerge triumphant by tapping into their hometown markets and then scaling up. However, it is imperative that MNCs restructure the national economies to become and remain more resilient, sustainable, and inclusive in their globalization to glocalization migration odyssey.  An attempt would be made in this conceptual Paper to address this issue—a challenge and an opportunity—for the key players by enumerating the stories of successful transition into glocalization by several popular Multi National Corporations in the Indian context.

Published: May 2024

Background: The commencement of COVID-19 vaccination has had an impact on hospitalizations and deaths of patients. This study aims to investigate the effect of COVID-19 vaccination on children›s hospitalizations and deaths. Methods: This cross-sectional study examined 893 children infected with COVID-19 referred to Imam Khomeini hospital in Jiroft City in the south of Iran in 2022. Data collected and analyzed included demographic variables including age, sex, place of residence, underlying disease, vaccination status, injection dose of vaccine, history of contact with a patient with COVID-19, and clinical and laboratory characteristics such as erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), white blood cell (WBC), creatinine (CR) and days of hospitalization. The data were analyzed using SPSS-v20 software. Results: The average age±SD of the patients is 4.6±3.9 years. There were 302 (33.81%) children in the age group of 9 to 12 years and 133 (14.89%) of children were in the age group under one year. The most common clinical symptoms in children with COVID-19 were fever (67.41%), diarrhea (38.63%), and cough (30.57%). ESR and CRP were 27.72±20.8, and 25.51±32.8 respectively amongst the participants. Out of 893 children, 480 (53.75%) were vaccinated and 413 (46.24%) had not received the vaccine. Out of 480 vaccinated children, 460 (95.83%) were outpatient, and only 20 (4.16%) were hospitalized, and out of 413 non-vaccinated children, 241 (58.35%) were outpatient, and 172 (41.64%) were hospitalized. Conclusion: The results showed that vaccination led to a 95.83% reduction in hospitalization and a 100% reduction in long-term hospitalization. The COVID-19 vaccination is very effective in preventing the harmful effects of COVID-19 in future trends and pandemics.

Published: May 2024

Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic, nurses were praised as the main heroes of the fight against the disease, but pandemic conditions affected the balance between their work and family responsibilities. To this end, the present study aimed to explore the incidence of work-family conflict in nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at COVID-19 referral hospitals in Mazandaran Province, Iran, in 2021. The participants were 200 nurses who were selected using convenience and purposive sampling. The data were collected using the Work-Family Conflict Scale (WAFCS), which was distributed and completed online. The collected data were analyzed with SPSS-16 software using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: Most of the participants were working as nurses for an average of seven years and had been caring for COVID-19 patients for at least 4-6 months until the time of data collection. The mean work-family conflict score was 78.80±1.1. The data also showed that the severity of work interference with family (WIF) in both time and strain dimensions (83.81±0.3) was significantly higher than the severity of family interference with work (FIW) (65.90±0.3) in these two dimensions. Conclusion: Nurses faced an imbalance between work and family functions during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since nurses are at the forefront of the fight against the pandemic, it is necessary to pay special attention to their working conditions and family life. Moreover, effective and practical solutions should be provided by managers to resolve work-family challenges.

Authors: Hojaji Elham , Sadeghian Saeed , Pouraram Hamed
Published: May 2024

Background: Food security has always been emphasized as a primary goal of sustainable development policies. Events, such as the COVID-19 outbreak, climate change, wars, and unjust (cruel) sanctions against countries threaten global food security. Therefore, considering the importance of nutrition and food consumption in budget planning and household shopping, we indirectly examined the cost of providing an optimal food basket for the Iranian community, in total and by separating its components based on the average price of selected food items in urban areas from year 1399-1401 in the Solar Hijri calendar (2020 to 2022). Methods: In this cross-sectional costing study, the country’s desired food basket was used as a reference for cost measurement of an acceptable food basket, and information on food prices and household expenses was obtained from the Statistical Center of Iran and the Central Bank. The cost of providing an optimal food basket for the Iranian community, in total and for each component, was calculated for an individual and a family of four. After extracting the cost information of providing an optimal food basket in these three years, the data were compared and analyzed to study the trend. Results: Based on the costs of providing an optimal household basket, the average food cost for a family of four in 1399 (2020- 2021) was about 3.2 million Tomans, which increased by 27% to 4.365 million Tomans in 1400 (2021-2022), and in 1401 (October 2022), it reached 6.785 million Tomans, a 35% increase compared to 1400 (2021-2022). Conclusion: It is suggested to support vulnerable groups and target subsidies according to different income levels. The salaries and wages should be revised in line with inflation food prices and household expenses, and also policymakers and planners are suggested to monitor the prices.

Published: May 2024

Background: Gerascophobia is one of the factors affecting people’s quality of life. The present study sought to examine gerascophobia and its related factors in medical students at Kerman University of Medical Sciences. Methods: The participants in this cross-sectional study were medical students of Kerman University of Medical Sciences in 2023, who were selected using non-probability quota sampling. The data were collected using Lasher and Faulkender’s Anxiety about Aging Scale (AAS) and analyzed with SPSS-26 software. Results: The participants in this study were 230 medical students. The participants’ average age was 22.95±2.38 years, and 61.3% of the students were female. The mean scores for gerascophobia and the subscales of fear of old people, psychological concerns, physical appearance, and fear of loss were 57.66, 14.15, 13.20, 14.61, and 16.51, respectively. The linear regression analysis showed that the average fear of aging was higher in female students (P=0.019) and the students who did not have job experience and the experience of caring for older adults (P=0.007). Conclusion: In line with findings from the present study, it can be argued that to reduce gerascophobia and create a more positive attitude toward aging in medical students, suitable facilities should be provided to create more contact between medical students, especially female students, and older adults during their studies.

Published: May 2024

Background: Adherence to treatment plans and prescribed drugs is considered an important challenge in chronic patients, and non-adherence to the treatment plan in these patients causes worsening of the condition of the disease and a decrease in their quality of life. Therefore, this study was conducted with the aim of determining the effect of self-care program training on treatment compliance in hemodialysis patients. Methods: The present study was a Quasi-experiment study in which all eligible patients of the hemodialysis department of Sanandaj were selected by census method in two intervention and control groups. In two groups, before and one month after the intervention, a demographic questionnaire and a questionnaire of adherence to the treatment of kidney patients were completed. The intervention included three training sessions as well as a training booklet for the ward. But in the control group, the patients received the necessary care according to routine. Data were analyzed using spss-16 software and descriptive tests and Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney non-parametric tests. Results: The results of the study showed that the average age and standard deviation of the participants was 51.71±15.85 years and the participants were homogenous in both groups. The average total score of treatment adherence in the intervention group increased from 93.03±12.77 before the intervention to 105.23±24.39 after the intervention (P<0.05); However, in the control group before and after the intervention, the results of the Wilcoxon test did not show a significant difference. Conclusion: The program training and training for patients has led to an increase in patients’ awareness, improved patient care, and comprehensively and accurately points out all the information related to the patient’s condition, and provides them with the opportunity to ask and answer questions with nurses.

Published: May 2024

Las técnicas de Gianni Rodari y Edward de Bono tienen gran importancia pues promueven el interés del estudiante en el proceso de producción de textos a través de la experimentación, que se logra al aplicar la metodología lúdica y el pensamiento creativo en las aulas. Por esta razón, la investigación tuvo como objetivo analizar las técnicas de Gianni Rodari y Edward De Bono como una estrategia de enseñanza para mejorar el proceso de escritura creativa en estudiantes de educación general básica en Ecuador. El escrito se elaboró empleando un enfoque deductivo, respaldado además por una investigación documental con enfoque cualitativo. No obstante, en cuanto a los resultados obtenidos, se evidenció a través del informe presentado por el Instituto Nacional de Evaluación Educativa en las pruebas Pisa que el promedio de Ecuador en lectura es de 409, lo que lo sitúa en nivel 2 que corresponde al nivel mínimo de competencias. Esto se debe al desconocimiento de técnicas y estrategias innovadoras en el ámbito escolar. Se concluyó que dichas técnicas estimulan la imaginación al tiempo que refuerza la confianza y autoestima del niño o niña, mejora la capacidad comunicativa y de escritura, y desarrolla el pensamiento crítico desde la expresión personal.

Las competencias digitales, en la actualidad, han ganado relevancia dentro del plano educativo, siendo esenciales para la formación de estudiantes universitarios y su posterior desempeño profesional. El objetivo de esta revisión fue triple. En primer lugar, se describió el nivel de dominio de las competencias digital de los estudiantes y docentes universitarios. En segundo lugar, se describió la percepción de los estudiantes y docentes universitarios sobre las competencias digitales. En tercer lugar, se presentaron los retos y oportunidades de las competencias digitales en el contexto universitario. Para ello, se realizó una revisión de literatura en bases de datos, estableciendo un límite temporal de cinco años (2018-2023). Los resultados demostraron que el dominio de docentes y estudiantes universitarios fue alto, estableciendo una relación con la especialidad y el dominio de las tecnologías. En cuanto a la percepción, tanto docentes como estudiantes mostraron actitudes positivas a las competencias digitales. Finalmente, la principal ventaja hallada en esta revisión fue el uso de tecnologías por parte de los estudiantes universitarios, mientras que el principal reto fue la negativa por parte de los docentes para abandonar la educación tradicional.

Con la llegada de la Inteligencia Artificial (IA) a la educación, resulta pertinente generar información que dé cuenta de las formas en que los actores educativos entienden e implementan dichos recursos para establecer acciones de formación y lineamientos para el aprovechamiento de esta tecnología para la mejora educativa. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo conocer la percepción y usos de herramientas de IA en términos de la frecuencia y tipos de uso, las expectativas educativas entorno a ellas, así como los contrastes entre opiniones del profesorado y del estudiantado. La metodología utilizada fue cuantitativa, transversal de alcance inferencial-exploratorio. Se obtuvo una muestra intencional de N=227 docentes y N=180 estudiantes universitarios. Se realizaron análisis descriptivos sobre percepciones y usos de herramientas de IA, para posteriormente realizar un análisis de varianza para muestras independientes. Entre los principales hallazgos se observa que, el 20% del profesorado y el 33% del estudiantado utilizan herramientas de IA. Del análisis inferencial se obtienen diferencias significativas entre profesores y estudiantes en relación con las creencias que tienen sobre el impacto de la IA en el aprendizaje, así como sobre la capacidad del profesorado para identificar cuándo el estudiantado utiliza dichos recursos en realización de tareas escolares.
