Emergency Federalism: Calling on the States in Perilous Times
Authors: Giuliano Adam
Published: September 2024

The attacks of September 11 prompted a historic debate concerning terrorism and domestic emergency response. This ongoing dialogue has driven policy decisions touching upon both liberty and security concerns. Yet despite the enormous effort that has gone into the national response, the role of the sovereign states, and with it federalism, has received comparatively little attention. This Article explores the relevance of federalism within the context of the "War on Terror" and in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Acknowledging that theories of federalism developed elsewhere are insufficient, he outlines a doctrine of 'emergency federalism.' The author argues that the Framers consciously retained federalism in times of threat and conflict analogous to today's challenges. He finds that, relative to the national authority, the scope of states' interests wax and wane depending upon the severity of the threat and the territorial context, though in no instance are they completely extinguished. Giuliano shows that this design reflects a judgment, written into the Constitution, that emergency federalism enhances both security and liberty relative to a more unilateral approach. He then illustrates how the experience of September 11, the national response since that date, and Hurricane Katrina together indicate that increasing the states' role should, in practice, promote both security and liberty. Having described emergency federalism and identified its potential advantages, the Article concludes by suggesting possible legal and policy reforms, including those based on the conclusion that the National Guard is constitutionally. unstable as currently constituted.
Ratification of Reapportionment Plans Drawn by Redistricting Commissions
Authors: Kumar Poonam
Published: September 2024

Partisan gerrymandering is a danger that threatens the foundations of the American democratic structure. This Note argues that partisan gerrymandering must be eliminated in order to foster political competition and ensure government accountability. Without a judicial solution, redistricting commissions present a viable option to help cure the ills of partisan gerrymandering. This Note argues that automatic and mandatory state supreme court judicial review must be the process by which the redistricting plans drawn by these commissions are ratified. Automatic judicial review permits redistricting to remain a legislative task while giving the judiciary a quintessential judicial task. In addition, this Note argues that automatic state supreme court review of the reapportionment plans provides a fairer and more efficient ratification mechanism that can greatly influence the effectiveness of redistricting commissions in combating partisan gerrymandering.

Interplays between host pattern-recognition receptors and pathogen ligands in immunogenic cell death
Authors: Li Chuang , Qin Chao , Wei Yichen , Shao Xiaolong
Published: September 2024

The strategic induction of cell death serves as a crucial immune defense mechanism for the eradication of pathogen infections within host cells. Investigating the molecular mechanisms underlying immunogenic cell pathways has significantly enhanced our understanding of the host’s immunity. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the immunogenic cell death mechanisms triggered by pathogen infections, focusing on the critical role of pattern recognition receptors. In response to infections, host cells dictate a variety of cell death pathways, including apoptosis, pyroptosis, necrosis, and lysosomal cell death, which are essential for amplifying immune responses and controlling pathogen dissemination. Key components of these mechanisms are host cellular receptors that recognize pathogen-associated ligands. These receptors activate downstream signaling cascades, leading to the expression of immunoregulatory genes and the production of antimicrobial cytokines and chemokines. Particularly, the inflammasome, a multi-protein complex, plays a pivotal role in these responses by processing pro-inflammatory cytokines and inducing pyroptotic cell death. Pathogens, in turn, have evolved strategies to manipulate these cell death pathways, either by inhibiting them to facilitate their replication or by triggering them to evade host defenses. A deeper understanding of immunogenic cell death is crucial for developing novel immunotherapies, advancing infectious disease and cancer treatment, and revealing the complex interactions between dying cells and the immune system. This review aims to provide systematic summarization as well as recent proceedings regarding the dynamic interplay between host immune mechanisms and pathogen strategies, highlighting the intricate co-evolution of microbial virulence and host immunity.

A modelagem de distribuição de espécies (MDE) usa dados de presença para identificar áreas adequadas às espécies e auxiliar no planejamento para a conservação. Dados oriundos de ciência cidadã podem preencher a lacuna de informações, possibilitando a construção de bons modelos para espécies ameaçadas. Neste estudo, avaliamos o potencial da ciência cidadã para prover dados acurados para a MDE, utilizando o caso do papagaio-de-peito-roxo (Amazona vinacea). Construímos uma base de dados de presença fornecida pelos especialistas e pesquisadores de campo e identificamos municípios com registros de presença no WikiAves, mas ausentes em nossa base de dados. Solicitamos para 233 usuários as coordenadas acuradas de registros em 104 municípios, e usamos área de ocupação (AOO), extensão de ocorrência (EOO) e representatividade nas ecorregiões para analisar o acréscimo de informações. Recebemos respostas de 121 usuários (52%) com 122 registros acurados em 69 municípios. A AOO e EOO aumentaram 27% e 6%, respectivamente, e o número de ecorregiões representadas aumentou de sete para oito, sendo que em quatro o número de registros mais que dobrou. As informações recebidas possibilitaram preencher a lacuna existente na base de dados de presença em Minas Gerais e Espírito Santo, permitindo a construção de um MDE mais robusto para orientar ações de conservação. Este trabalho fornece uma evidência de que a ciência cidadã é uma poderosa ferramenta para a ciência e conservação, e aponta dois aspectos para torná-la ainda mais efetiva: a coleta de mais registros acurados pelos observadores de aves e a disponibilização dessas informações nas plataformas de ciência cidadã.

Current approaches to the management of jejunal variceal bleeding at the site of hepaticojejunostomy after pancreaticoduodenectomy
Authors: Garbuzenko Dmitry Victorovich
Published: September 2024

Jejunal variceal bleeding at the site of hepaticojejunostomy after pancreaticoduodenectomy due to portal hypertension caused by extrahepatic portal vein obstruction is a life-threatening complication and is very difficult to treat. Pharmacotherapy, endoscopic methods, transcatheter embolization of veins supplying the jejunal afferent loop, portal venous stenting, and surgical procedures can be used for the treatment of jejunal variceal bleeding. Nevertheless, the optimal management strategy has not yet been established, which is due to the lack of randomized controlled trials involving a large cohort of patients necessary for their development.

Authors: Tao Yi , Wang Yi-Fei , Wang Jun , Long Shuang , Seyler Barnabas C , Zhong Xiao-Fei , Lu Qiang
Published: September 2024

Echinococcosis is a zoonotic disease caused by parasites belonging to the genus Echinococcus that primarily affect the liver. The western plateau and pastoral areas of China are high-risk regions for hepatic cystic echinococcosis and hepatic alveolar echinococcosis (HAE). The high late mortality rate associated with HAE underscores the critical need for early diagnosis to improve cure rates and mitigate the disease burden in endemic areas. Currently, the World Health Organization recommends ultrasonography as the preferred initial screening method for hepatic echinococcosis. However, distinguishing between specific types of lesions, such as those of hepatic cystic echinococcosis and HAE, and other focal liver lesions is challenging. To address this issue, contrast-enhanced ultrasound is recommended as a tool to differentiate solid and cysto-solid hepatic echinococcosis from other focal liver lesions, significantly enhancing diagnostic accuracy. In this comprehensive review, we discuss the progression of hepatic echinococcosis and detail the imaging features of various types of echinococcosis using conventional, contrast-enhanced, and intraoperative ultrasound techniques. Our objective is to provide robust imaging evidence and guidance for early diagnosis, clinical decision making, and postoperative follow-up in regions with high disease prevalence.

BACKGROUND

Primary liver cancer is the sixth most common cancer worldwide, with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) being the most prevalent form. Despite the current availability of multiple immune or immune combination treatment options, the prognosis is still poor, so how to identify a more suitable population is extremely important.

AIM

To evaluate the clinical effectiveness of combining lenvatinib with camrelizumab for patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related HCC in Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stages B/C, considering various body mass index (BMI) in different categories.

METHODS

Retrospective data were collected from 126 HCC patients treated with lenvatinib plus camrelizumab. Patients were divided into two groups based on BMI: The non-overweight group (BMI < 25 kg/m2, n = 51) and the overweight/obese group (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2, n = 75). Short-term prognosis was evaluated using mRECIST criteria, with subgroup analyses for non-overweight (BMI: 18.5-24.9 kg/m2), overweight (BMI: 25-30 kg/m2), and obese (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2) patients. A Cox proportional hazards regression analysis identified independent prognostic factors for overall survival (OS), leading to the development of a column-line graph model.

RESULTS

Median progression-free survival was significantly longer in the obese/overweight group compared to the non-overweight group. Similarly, the median OS was significantly prolonged in the obese/overweight group than in the non-overweight group. The objective remission rate and disease control rate for the two groups of patients were, respectively, objective remission rate (5.88% vs 28.00%) and disease control rate (39.22% vs 62.67%). Fatigue was more prevalent in the obese/overweight group, while other adverse effects showed no statistically significant differences (P > 0.05). Subgroup analysis based on BMI showed that obese and overweight patients had better progression-free survival and OS than non-overweight patients, with obese patients showing the best outcomes. Multifactorial regression analysis identified BCLC grade, alpha-fetoprotein level, portal vein tumor thrombosis, and BMI as independent prognostic factors for OS. The column-line graph model highlighted the importance of BMI as a major predictor of patient prognosis, followed by alpha-fetoprotein level, BCLC classification, and portal vein tumor thrombosis.

CONCLUSION

BMI is a long-term predictor of the efficacy of lenvatinib plus camrelizumab, and obese/overweight patients have a better prognosis.
Evaluating genetic insights into ulcerative colitis and anxiety: Limitations and future directions
Authors: Peng Ying , Long Xi-Dai
Published: September 2024

We reviewed the study by He et al , which investigates the genetic correlation between ulcerative colitis (UC) and anxiety using bidirectional Mendelian randomization. This study reveals a genetic link between UC and anxiety, diverging from prior research associating higher anxiety with Crohn’s disease. While the study's use of large-scale genome-wide association studies data is commendable, it faces limitations such as single nucleotide polymorphism selection biases, lack of multiple testing corrections, and a reliance on European populations. Future research should address these limitations, incorporate diverse populations, and explore psychotherapeutic interventions to improve UC management and patient outcomes.
Critical analysis of the effects of proton pump inhibitors on inflammatory bowel disease: An updated review
Authors: Goyal Omesh , Goyal Manjeet Kumar
Published: September 2024

This letter critically evaluates the effects of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) on inflammatory bowel disease, particularly focusing on Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), as discussed in Liang et al ’s recent review. While the review provides significant insights, it relies heavily on cross-sectional and observational studies, which limits the ability to draw causal inferences. The heterogeneous study populations and inconsistent definitions of long-term PPI use further complicate the findings. This letter also highlights the need for rigorous control of confounding factors and considers the potential publication bias in the existing literature. The implications of these issues are discussed in the context of both CD and UC, and future research directions are proposed to address these shortcomings.

Published: September 2024

In this letter, we review the article “Effects of elafibranor on liver fibrosis and gut barrier function in a mouse model of alcohol-associated liver disease”. We focus specifically on the detrimental effects of alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) on human health. Given its insidious onset and increasing incidence, increasing awareness of ALD can contribute to reducing the prevalence of liver diseases. ALD comprises a spectrum of several different disorders, including liver steatosis, steatohepatitis, fibrosis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. The pathogenesis of ALD is exceedingly complex. Previous studies have shown that peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) regulate lipid metabolism, glucose homeostasis and inflammatory responses within the organism. Additionally, their dysfunction is a major contributor to the progression of ALD. Elafibranor is an oral, dual PPARα and δ agonist. The effectiveness of elafibranor in the treatment of ALD remains unclear. In this letter, we emphasize the harm of ALD and the burden it places on society. Furthermore, we summarize the clinical management of all stages of ALD and present new insights into its pathogenesis and potential therapeutic targets. Additionally, we discuss the mechanisms of action of PPARα and δ agonists, the significance of their antifibrotic effects on ALD and future research directions.
A High-Resolution Geochemical and Petrological Investigation of Bifurcating Chromitite Layers of the UG1 Footwall at Impala Platinum Mine, Rustenburg

Published: September 2024

One of the most enigmatic features of the world’s largest layered intrusion, the Paleoproterozoic Rustenburg Layered Suite of the Bushveld Complex, is the bifurcation of chromitite layers associated with the UG1 chromitite. Despite nearly a century of research, no consensus exists regarding the process(es) responsible for the formation of these bifurcated chromitites. Here we report the results of a high-resolution geochemical and petrological investigation conducted on an ∼195 m2 exposure of anorthositic footwall of the UG1 exposed by mining activities at No. 11 Shaft, Impala Platinum Mine, Rustenburg. Samples were taken from four sample cuts across the footwall exhibiting complex chromitite bifurcations in order to study lateral and vertical variations in the mineral chemistry of plagioclase and chromite and the Sr-isotopic composition of plagioclase as determined by LA-MC-ICP-MS. Our investigation supports the idea that several processes were responsible for the formation of the macroscopic features observed in the studied exposure. A sequence of numerous alternating layers of thin chromitite and anorthosite occurring between a thick basal and upper chromitite layer likely formed during a period of intense seismicity related to the emplacement of the Bushveld Complex. Chromite within these chromitite layers is thought to have nucleated and grown in situ on the chamber floor from a basal magma layer with a composition close to the chromite–plagioclase cotectic. This happened in response to the introduction of evolved, H2O-rich interstitial melts from the compacting crystal mush into the basal magma layer, a process aided by repeated shock waves passing through the chamber. Evidence for the involvement of H2O-enriched melts in the genesis of these thin chromitite layers is preserved in plagioclase that is anomalously calcic and poor in K2O compared to the plagioclase found in the intervening anorthosite layers and the relative abundance of phlogopite within chromitite layers. Additional bifurcations formed in response to the injection of chromite-rich slurries from the thick upper chromitite layer into the sequence below.

A cerveja é uma bebida popularmente conhecida em todo o mundo, com mais de 3000 compostos em sua composição, incluindo componentes inorgânicos, que se originam na bebida por meio de matérias-primas ou fatores externos. Dependendo de sua especiação e concentração, esses componentes presentes na bebida podem ser essenciais ou tóxicos ao organismo humano e podem influenciar na fabricação da cerveja, afetando o sabor e a estabilidade. Embora outros elementos possam ser encontrados, a legislação brasileira controla apenas as concentrações de As, Pb e Cd. Nesse contexto, este artigo tem como objetivo reunir informações presentes na literatura científica publicada desde o ano 2000 sobre a origem dos componentes inorgânicos na cerveja, os diferentes métodos de preparo aplicados, bem como as técnicas espectroanalíticas utilizadas para quantificação desses componentes. Acreditamos que essas informações podem ser úteis tanto para pesquisadores quanto para nutricionistas, mestres cervejeiros e consumidores em geral.

Tek ebeveyn aile yapısı, herhangi bir nedene bağlı olarak yalnız kalan bir ebeveyn ve ebeveyne bağlı çocuk/çocuklardan oluşan aile yapısı olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Türkiye’de hane halkının %7,8’ini tek ebeveyn yapısına sahip aileler oluşturmaktadır. Oranı giderek artan tek ebeveyne sahip çocuklar güven duygusunun yitirilmesine bağlı güvensizlik, düşük benlik algısı, ihmal ve istismar, davranış bozuklukları gibi birçok risk ile karşı karşıya kalmaktadır. Çocuğun 1-3 yaş döneminden itibaren keşfettiği ağladığında ebeveynin yanında olması ve ilgilenmesi sosyal öğrenme ile bilinçaltına atılmaktadır. Bu süreçte çocuk bir problem ile karşılaştığında ve baş edemediğinde ebeveyn desteğinin alınabilmesi hafızasına yönelik psikolojik problemleri bedene yansıtarak ebeveyn desteğini sağlamaya çalışmaktadır. Psikolojik problemlerin bedene yansıtıldığı ve görülme oranı yüksek olan semptom ise psikosomatik ağrı olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Psikosomatik ağrı, genellikle anksiyete ile ortaya çıkan bir ağrı çeşididir. Yapılan çalışmalarda anksiyete seviyesi yüksek olan çocuklarda psikosomatik ağrı görülme olasılığının arttığı belirtilmektedir. Çocuğun üzüntü, ebeveyne duyulan öfke, güvensizliğe ve belirsizliğe bağlı anksiyete gibi ifade edemeyeceği kadar yoğun bir duygu yaşaması psikosomatik ağrıların görülmesine neden olmaktadır. Pediatri hemşireleri, tek ebeveyne sahip çocukların karşı karşıya kaldığı risklerin belirlenmesi ve önlenmesinde öncül görevi üstlenmektedir. Bu doğrultuda hemşire; risklerin değerlendirilmesi, ağrı kontrolünde farmakolojik/ nonfarmakolojik yöntemlerin uygulanması büyüme ve gelişme takibi, terapötik iletişim ve oyun, multidisipliner yaklaşım ile ekonomik, hukuksal ve toplumsal müdahalelerin yürütülmesinde aktif rol almaktadır. Bu derlemenin amacı tek ebeveyne sahip çocuk ve psikosomatik ağrı ilişkisini inceleyerek çocuk hemşirelerinin rollerini açıklamaktır.

This study aimed to examine the effects of social isolation during COVID-19 pandemic on dietary and exercise habits of nursing academics. This cross-sectional study was conducted with 393 nurse academics working in Turkey who agreed to participate in the study. During lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic, approximately 10% of the participants received professional support for diet and exercise. The habits such as consumption of foods that strengthen the immune system and the time spent passively increased, whereas the habit of fast food consumption decreased. The nursing academics in this study showed a positive attitude toward diet and exercise because of their increasing age and the presence of chronic diseases; thus, high scores were observed on the diet and physical activity subscales of the Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scale (HLBS II) used in this study (p ˂ 0.05). Thus, it is very important for nurse academics to display healthy lifestyle behaviors during the course of the pandemic to be role models for increasing the awareness of the public about the appropriate diet and exercise

Authors: Dağlar Özge Şiir , Acar Zehra
Published: September 2024

The aim of this study is to determine the views and experiences of midwifery and nursing students about obstetric violence during the birth process.
This cross-sectional and descriptive study was conducted with 201 midwifery and nursing students studying at a university and taking part in labor between January and May 2023. “Personal Information Form”, “Obstetric Violence Diagnosis Form” and “Witnessing Obstetric Violence Form” developed by the researchers were used to collect data.
The mean age of the participants was 22.14±2.28, and 40.3% were studying in nursing and 59.7% in midwifery. 59.2% of the students took an active role in the birth process. Midwifery students defined the types of violence more than nursing students: "routine enema, perineal shaving and amniotomy", "restriction of the movements/gait of the pregnant", "application of fundal pressure", "prohibition of eating and drinking during the birth process" and "giving baby food without permission". It was determined that midwives mostly witnessed "prohibition of eating and drinking during labor (85%)" and "blaming the pregnant woman in case of insufficient pushing (83.3%)", while the nurses witnessed "frequent vaginal examinations performed by different people (67.9%)" and "prohibition of accompanying persons (66.7%)".
In this study, it was seen that midwifery and nursing students did not have enough awareness of obstetric violence. In midwifery and nursing education, it is thought that giving education to provide respectful care to the mother during the birth process will contribute to the prevention of obstetric violence and the positive birth experience of mothers.
Occupational Health and Safety in Fuel Stations: Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment
Authors: Özbakır Okan
Published: September 2024

Fuel stations are fuel storage facilities located in urban and rural areas. The fuels sold at these stations have the potential to cause occupational diseases as well as fire and various accidents. In terms of occupational health and safety, the workload and risks that gas station employees are exposed to vary. Employees are not only limited to basic tasks such as refueling, sales and communication, but also undertake additional security and service responsibilities. In this study, considering a fuel station serving in Iğdır province, hazards that may affect employees and customers were identified and the risks that may occur as a result of these hazards were rated by matrix method. It was determined that the probability (i:3) and the result (c:5) are high (r:15) for the risk of fire and explosion that may be caused by leaks that may occur during refueling of vehicles. Among the preventive measures, it has been revealed that the risk value r:15 should be aimed at eliminating the sources that may cause or create sparks. It has been observed that the fact that employees do not have adequate training on the risks arising from the conditions of the execution of the work (r:10) and that they are not adequate about what to do in emergencies (r:10) are among the important risks for the enterprise. In addition, the study recommended that deficiencies related to the existing electrical system (r:10) and equipment, which pose a high risk, should be eliminated. It predicts that unsafe actions and conditions in the stations can be controlled by establishing and properly implementing occupational health and safety strategies in the workplace for employees.
