Authors: Kearney Lauren E , Jansen Emily , Kathuria Hasmeena , Steiling Katrina , Jones Kayla C , Walkey Allan , Cordella Nicholas
Published: December 2023

Background

Tobacco smoking is an important risk factor for disease, but inaccurate smoking history data in the electronic medical record (EMR) limits the reach of lung cancer screening (LCS) and tobacco cessation interventions. Patient-generated health data is a novel approach to documenting smoking history; however, the comparative effectiveness of different approaches is unclear.

Objective

We designed a quality improvement intervention to evaluate the effectiveness of portal questionnaires compared to SMS text message–based surveys, to compare message frames, and to evaluate the completeness of patient-generated smoking histories.

Methods

We randomly assigned patients aged between 50 and 80 years with a history of tobacco use who identified English as a preferred language and have never undergone LCS to receive an EMR portal questionnaire or a text survey. The portal questionnaire used a “helpfulness” message, while the text survey tested frame types informed by behavior economics (“gain,” “loss,” and “helpfulness”) and nudge messaging. The primary outcome was the response rate for each modality and framing type. Completeness and consistency with documented structured smoking data were also evaluated.

Results

Participants were more likely to respond to the text survey (191/1000, 19.1%) compared to the portal questionnaire (35/504, 6.9%). Across all text survey rounds, patients were less responsive to the “helpfulness” frame compared with the “gain” frame (odds ratio [OR] 0.29, 95% CI 0.09-0.91; P<.05) and “loss” frame (OR 0.32, 95% CI 11.8-99.4; P<.05). Compared to the structured data in the EMR, the patient-generated data were significantly more likely to be complete enough to determine LCS eligibility both compared to the portal questionnaire (OR 34.2, 95% CI 3.8-11.1; P<.05) and to the text survey (OR 6.8, 95% CI 3.8-11.1; P<.05).

Conclusions

We found that an approach using patient-generated data is a feasible way to engage patients and collect complete smoking histories. Patients are likely to respond to a text survey using “gain” or “loss” framing to report detailed smoking histories. Optimizing an SMS text message approach to collect medical information has implications for preventative and follow-up clinical care beyond smoking histories, LCS, and smoking cessation therapy.

Authors: Awindaogo Felix , Acheamfour-Akowuah Emmanuel , Doku Alfred , Kokuro Collins , Agyekum Francis , Owusu Isaac Kofi
Published: December 2023

Background

Heart failure (HF) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally, with a high disease burden. The prevalence of HF in Ghana is increasing rapidly, but epidemiological profiles, treatment patterns, and survival data are scarce. The national capacity to diagnose and manage HF appropriately is also limited. To address the growing epidemic of HF, it is crucial to recognize the epidemiological characteristics and medium-term outcomes of HF in Ghana and improve the capability to identify and manage HF promptly and effectively at all levels of care.

Objective

This study aims to determine the epidemiological characteristics and medium-term HF outcomes in Ghana.

Methods

We conducted a prospective, multicenter, multilevel cross-sectional observational study of patients with HF from January to December 2023. Approximately 5000 patients presenting with HF to 9 hospitals, including teaching, regional, and municipal hospitals, will be recruited and evaluated according to a standardized protocol, including the use of an echocardiogram and an N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) test. Guideline-directed medical treatment of HF will be initiated for 6 months, and the medium-term outcomes of interventions, including rehospitalization and mortality, will be assessed. Patient data will be collated into a HF registry for continuous assessment and monitoring.

Results

This intervention will generate the necessary information on the etiology of HF, clinical presentations, the diagnostic yield of various tools, and management outcomes. In addition, it will build the necessary capacity and support for HF management in Ghana. As of July 30, 2023, the training and onboarding of all 9 centers had been completed. Preliminary analyses will be conducted by the end of the second quarter of 2024, and results are expected to be publicly available by the middle of 2024.

Conclusions

This study will provide the necessary data on HF, which will inform decisions on the prevention and management of HF and form the basis for future research.

The Daily Experiences of Hispanic and Latinx Dementia Caregivers Study: Protocol for a Fully Remote Daily Diary Observational Cohort Study (Preprint)
Authors: Mildrum Chana Sofía , Álvarez Lorelí , Poe Abigail , Bibriescas Natashia , Wang Danny Hai , DiFiglia Stephanie , Azuero Andrés , Crowe Michael , Puga Frank
Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND

The Hispanic and Latinx community is disproportionately affected by Alzheimer disease and related dementias (ADRDs). In the United States, approximately 8.5 million caregivers of individuals with ADRDs identify as Hispanic and Latinx people, and caregiving-related stress and burden place caregivers at elevated risk for poor mental health outcomes, as well as loneliness and social isolation. To date, there is limited knowledge about the daily stress experiences of Hispanic and Latinx caregivers. Given this knowledge gap, it is critical to examine how personal, cultural, and contextual factors influence daily stress, mental health, and resilience over time among Hispanic and Latinx ADRD caregivers.

OBJECTIVE

The goal of this protocol report is to present the rationale, methodology, planned analytical strategy, progress completed to date, and implications of future findings for “Nuestros Días” (Spanish for “our days”), a fully remote daily diary (DD), observational cohort study examining the day-to-day experiences of Hispanic and Latinx ADRD caregivers.

METHODS

The study will recruit a cohort of up to 500 Hispanic and Latinx caregivers of individuals living with ADRD. Participants will complete measures assessing contextual, individual-level, and cultural factors at 3 intervals (enrollment, 6 months, and 12 months). Each of the timepoints will be followed by 21 days of DD surveys to report on daily stress, stress moderators, and mental health variables.

RESULTS

Data collection began in March 2023 and is projected to end in December 2026. As of March 2024, we have enrolled 60 caregivers in the Nuestros Días study, 78.9% (n=15) of whom are Spanish speakers. The current completion rate for DD surveys is 79.4%, averaging approximately 18 surveys out of 21 completed. We expect to enroll 10 to 15 participants per month moving forward to achieve our enrollment goal.

CONCLUSIONS

Results from this study will identify which Hispanic and Latinx ADRD caregivers, and under what circumstances, appear to be at the greatest risk of experiencing poor mental health outcomes over time. This study represents a critical step forward in providing key guidance to develop effective, culturally sensitive interventions to support the health and well-being of Hispanic and Latinx ADRD caregivers, a historically underrepresented and underserved population in aging and caregiving research.

Published: December 2023

La adolescencia además de constituirse una etapa vital de desarrollo humano, podría considerarse también un periodo sensible para la aparición de conductas denominadas como “antisociales” y “delictivas”. El objetivo del presente estudio es caracterizar la prevalencia de las Conductas Antisociales y Delictivas en una muestra de 137 adolescentes entre11 y 17 años pertenecientes a la región caribe a través del Cuestionario A-D. A partir del análisis de resultados se encontró una mayor prevalencia sobre la manifestación de la conducta antisocial (CA) destacándose así comportamientos como el “uso de lenguaje ofensivo, la violencia como método de resolución de conflictos y el incumplimiento de tareas”; por su parte, en cuanto a la conducta delictiva (CD), aunque presentó una menor prevalencia en comparación con CA, se destacaron entre estas algunas como el “sustraer objetos de valor de lugares públicos, el causar daños en propiedades públicas y el acceder a clubes o adquirir bebidas prohibidas”. En Colombia y sobre todo en la región caribe, se necesita seguir ampliando los estudios científicos que permitan generar aportes hacia el acercamiento y la compresión de este complejo fenómeno, sobre todo tomando en consideración la población adolescente, debido a los diferentes factores de riesgos asociados en esta etapa.
Exploring How Internal Medicine Residents Approach Requests for Medical Assistance in Dying: An Exploratory Qualitative Study at the University of Calgary
Authors: Reich Krista M , Tan Amy , Hui Jacqueline
Published: December 2023

To develop Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) competencies and curricula, we aimed to create a framework outlining how internal medicine (IM) residents approach MAiD requests and identify subsequent learning gaps.

We used qualitative descriptive methodology to explore individual participant responses to three clinical vignettes centered on aspects of MAiD, followed by a group discussion. Responses were recorded and transcribed. Codes were reviewed and iteratively organized into themes, highlighting the steps taken for each MAiD scenario. Themes were compared and classified into broader categories within a framework to describe the participants’ overall approach to MAiD requests.

Three overarching categories illustrated the approach taken by participants when faced with MAiD requests: 1) Action: the pragmatic steps participants took to respond to requests 2) Decision: the rationale behind how participants decided if MAiD was an option; and 3) Reaction: the emotional reactions that arise from requests; each highlighted significant learning gaps. Participants lacked understanding in concurrent medical and symptom management, MAiD eligibility and referral criteria, roles and responsibilities, and were uncomfortable discussing MAiD.

IM residents not only require education on MAiD as a topic but on developing an approach to responding to requests and ways of addressing subsequent personal reactions.
A Large Lithium Overdose with Unusual Pharmacokinetics
Authors: Senecal Justin B , Alhashimalsayed Zaki , Levine Mitchell
Published: December 2023

Lithium has been used in psychiatry for 50 years and remains a first-line option for bipolar depression and mania. Approximately 7% of patients on lithium will develop toxicity at some point during their treatment. This can often be managed with isotonic crystalloid to promote excretion in the urine, but some patients will require hemodialysis.

Here we present the case of a 66-year-old female who presented after ingesting 12 grams of immediate-release lithium. Twenty-eight hours after ingestion, her serum lithium began to rise despite adequate urine output and normal renal function. We hypothesized that this was due to delayed absorption from a pharmacobezoar formation, resulting in pharmacokinetics that mimics what was previously described to occur with sustained release formulations.

This case exemplifies the importance of monitoring pharmacokinetic parameters in overdoses, as this can bring attention to issues of prolonged absorption. This has the potential to impact clinical decisions regarding hemodialysis or bowel decontamination.
Admissions for Presumed Social Reasons
Authors: Mah Jasmine Cassy , Searle Samuel , Koller Katalin , Latariya Gali , Nicholls Karen , Freter Susan , Von Maltzahn Maia , Rockwood Kenneth , Andrew Melissa K
Published: December 2023

“Social admission” is a non-diagnostic label referring to an admission to a hospital for which no medical or health condition is deemed amenable to reversibility or rehabilitation; rather, the patient’s social circumstances are felt to be the sole cause of hospitalization. There is a growing realization that medical facilities are experiencing an increase in socially vulnerable patient presentations. Clinicians also face challenges in caring for this patient population, which may have atypical presentations in which medical and social complexity often align. To better understand individuals admitted for social reasons and to guide future care and research, we review (i) the epidemiology, (ii) risk factors, and (iii) health outcomes associated with being labeled as “social admission.” We draw attention to factors that may improve care for this patient population and offer potential solutions with clinical relevance. Clinicians should remain mindful that patients labelled as “social admissions” often have complex underlying medical problems, which may be acute, and are at high risk of poor outcomes.
RésuméL’« admission sociale » est une étiquette non diagnostique qui fait référence à une admission à l’hôpital pour laquelle aucun trouble médical ou problème de santé n’est jugé réversible ou réadaptable; les circonstances sociales du patient semblent plutôt la seule et unique cause de l’hospitalisation. On se rend de plus en plus compte que les installations de soins de santé connaissent une augmentation du nombre de patients socialement vulnérables. Les cliniciens font également face à des défis dans la prise en charge de cette population de patients qui peuvent présenter des tableaux cliniques atypiques dans lesquels s’aligne souvent une complexité médicale et sociale. Pour mieux comprendre les personnes admises pour des motifs d’ordre social, et pour orienter les soins et les travaux de recherche à venir, nous examinons l’épidémiologie, les facteurs de risque et les résultats en matière de santé associés au port de l’étiquette « admission sociale ». Nous attirons l’attention sur des facteurs susceptibles d’améliorer les soins prodigués à cette population de patients, et proposons des solutions possibles et pertinentes sur le plan clinique. Les cliniciens doivent garder à l’esprit que les patients considérés comme étant des « admissions sociales » ont souvent des problèmes médicaux sous-jacents complexes, qui peuvent être aigus, et présentent un risque élevé de mauvais résultats.
The Safety of Anticoagulation Continuation in Electroconvulsive Therapy
Authors: Deng Lan , Dutta Dali , Koolian Maral , Cafaro Teresa
Published: December 2023

Background: Physiologic changes during electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) raise concern for intracranial bleeding, particularly in patients on anticoagulation. We conducted a systematic review and proportional meta-analysis on bleeding and thromboembolic outcomes in this patient population.
Methods: Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library, and APA PsycInfo were searched to identify relevant studies. A proportional meta-analysis was conducted on the incidence of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), thromboembolic events, and bleeding.
Results: Nine studies were included: one retrospective cohort study and eight case series. 772 ECT sessions were reported. No ICH event was reported. The pooled incidence was 0.21% (95% CI 0.01-0.66), 0.83% (95% CI 0.32-1.59), and 1.44% (95% CI 0.33-3.20) for ICH, bleeding, and thromboembolic events respectively. Conclusion: Although the evidence regarding the safety of continuing anticoagulation during ECTs is of low quality, primarily from case series, the pooled ICH incidence of less than 1% (0.21%) is a valuable reference for informed healthcare decisions.
RésuméContexte: Les changements physiologiques survenant au cours de l’électrochoc soulèvent des inquiétudes quant aux hémorragies intracrâniennes, en particulier chez les patients recevant une anticoagulothérapie. Nous avons réalisé une revue systématique et une méta-analyse proportionnelle sur les conséquences hémor-ragiques et thromboemboliques chez cette population de patients.
Méthodologie: Une recherche a été effectuée dans les bases de données Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library et APA PsycInfo pour relever les études pertinentes. La méta-analyse proportionnelle a été réalisée sur la fréquence des hémorragies cérébrales, des événements thromboemboliques et des saignements.
Résultats: Neuf études ont été retenues, soit une étude de cohorte rétrospective et huit séries de cas. On rapporte 772 séances d’électrochoc. Aucune hémorragie cérébrale n’est signalée. La fréquence regroupée est de 0,21 % (intervalle de confiance [IC] à 95 % de 0,01 à 0,66) pour l’hémorragie cérébrale, de 0,83 % (IC à 95 % de 0,32 à 1,59) pour le saignement et de 1,44 % (IC à 95 % de 0,33 à 3,20) pour les événements thromboemboliques.
Conclusion: Bien que les données probantes concernant les risques liés à la poursuite de l’anticoagulothérapie pendant les électrochocs soient de faible qualité, surtout celles des séries de cas, la fréquence regroupée de l’hémorragie cérébrale inférieure à 1 % (0,21 %) constitue un point de référence précieux pour prendre des décisions éclairées en matière de soins.
Islam and Christianity on the periphery of the Golden Horde in the Middle Don region
Authors:   Voronezh State University, Tsybin Mikhail V.
Published: December 2023

The purpose of the study is to analyze the data from the study of archaeolo­gical sites on the periphery of the Golden Horde in the Middle Don region, along with evidence from written sources about the spread of Islam and Christianity among the population of this area. Research materials: The paper examines the materials of Russian settlements, monuments of the Golden Horde circle (Novokharkovsky and Tagansky burial grounds), mausoleums near Krasnyi Village, and nomadic burials in the barrows. Written sources are involved (“Pimenov’s journey to Tsargrad,” the charters of Metropolitans Theognost and Alexei to the population of the Chervleny Yar). Results and scientific uniqueness: Archaeological materials allow us to talk about the coexistence of different confessional groups in the population on the periphery of the Gol­den Horde in the Middle Don region. The spread of Christianity in this area is associated with the Russian population. The information of the charters of Metropolitans Theognost and Alexei about the Christian population in the Prikhoper region is confirmed by the data of archaeological research. Among the population who left the Novokharkovsky burial ground, one can assume the spread of both Islam and Christianity. The influence of the traditions of Islam can be traced in the funeral rites of the Tagansky burial ground. The most striking evidence of the spread of Islam on the periphery of the Golden Horde in the Middle Don region is the mausoleums near Krasnyi Village. In the tombs studied in and around mausoleums, there are also remnants of paganism. Only a few nomadic burials in the barrows can be considered Muslim burials.
On the question of stu­dying Tatar variants of the epos about Idegey

Published: December 2023

The purpose of the study: The work is part of the authors’ research aimed at preparing a collection dedicated to the Tatar versions of the “Idegey”epos. It is aimed at reviewing and systematizing archival and published versions of the Tatar version of the dastan, “Idegey”, introducing unexplored variants into scientific circulation, compiling a complete list of texts, and providing their structural and textual analysis. Research materials: Archival and published versions of the Tatar dastan of “Idegey”. Information from literary and historical sources, along with scientific research, was used. The works of famous folklorists are involved, including studies on the dastan “Idegey” by famous folklorists Nigmat Hakim and Naki Isanbet. The scientific novelty of the study is due to the fact that on the basis of the study of archival materials, a review of all the variants known to us and a comparative analysis of individual episodes and motives were made. Based on the analysis, the changes to which the variants were subjected, the transformation of individual motifs, and all kinds of variations of the latter, the degree of preservation of dastan records from different times was revealed. The results of the study and its scientific novelty: the paper proves that the Tatar versions of the dastan about Idegey and Toktamysh were widely spread among the Tatars of the Volga-Urals, western Siberia, and the Crimea as is evidenced by the wide variability of the works. However, the main part of the variants came to us fragmentarily, in a strongly truncated form, and by the time they were fixed, with the exception of the variants recorded by V.V. Radlov and N. Hakim, the named genre ceased to exist in a living natural form. Despite this, the Tatar versions of the dastan “Idegey”, unlike the other Turkic versions which came through the works of ethnographers and historians, are undoubtedly more extensive and numerous, recorded in the original version or preserved in manuscripts in the Tatar language.
Finding the Guardians of Royal Blood: Observations on the Supply of eunuchs to the Harem in the Ottoman Empire and the Crimean Khanate through case studies and documents
Authors:   Ministry of National  Education, Ürkündağ Ayhan , Başer Alper ,   Afyon Kocatepe University
Published: December 2023

Research objectives: The first aim of this study, which deals with the supply process of the eunuchs, who formed the backbone of the harem organization in the Ottoman Empire and the Crimean Khanate, is to determine how the career of the eunuchs began in the palace of the sultan or the khan. Research materials: The main sources of data for this research are documents held within the Department of Ottoman Archives of the Presidency of the Republic of Turkey Directorate of State. Upon these documents, Ottoman and Crimean chronicles of the period were examined and evaluated. Research and novelty of the research: Both the Ottoman Empire and the Crimean Khanate established harem organizations and started employing eunuchs soon after the foundation of the state. These people, who were called eunuchs or castrates and had lost their masculinity due to natural or unnatural causes, were the backbone of the harem organization. It was found that the main method for supplying eunuchs to the harem was purchasing them from specialized merchants. Both states made efforts to identify children who had lost their masculinity due to natural causes and employ them in the harem. More over, in a very rare event in Ottoman history, Gazanfer and Cafer Aghas volunteered to be castrated out of a desire to be close to the Sultan during the reign of Selim II. The Ottoman administration paid special attention to social as well as physical characteristics of the eunuchs to be employed, and, for example, preferred that they learn Turkish in the Ottoman harem, under their own supervision. It was also observed that the Crimean Khanate attached great importance to the harem organization as in the Ottoman Empire. However, it has been revealed that the institutionalization in the harem organization was underdeveloped than in the Ottoman harem and that at least some of the eunuchs were part of the khan’s entourage and moved away from the palace when the khan was dethroned. It’s also been revealed that sometimes the information in the primary sources contradicts with the documents produced by the bureaucracy of the period. It’s been determined that a special emphasis was placed on the shaping of the eunuchs with the Ottoman high culture, and those who somehow lost their manhood, even if they were Muslims, lost their individual identity and were transformed into an officer belonging to the state.
Russian energy resources in the markets of NEA-3 countries and India in new conditions
Authors:   The Economic Research Institute FEB RAS, Dyomina O.V. , Mazitova M.G. ,   The Economic Research Institute FEB RAS
Published: December 2023

The article analyzes the main markets of the Asia-Pacific region from the perspective of assessing the niche of Russian energy resources: NEA-3 countries (Japan, the Republic of Korea, China) and India. Based on a synthesis of expert assessments from the leading research groups, it is shown that reduction in the size of the fossil fuel energy markets of Japan and the Republic of Korea is occurring at the fastest rate. Significant reduction in exports to these countries is predicted since these markets are traditional for Russia in the Asia-Pacific region. It was determined that in the current situation, the most promising in terms of export of Russian energy resources are India and China, whose role has increased many times under the conditions of sanctions restrictions imposed on Russia since 2022. It is shown that compensatory capabilities of the economies of China and India to compensate closed to Russia energy markets are limited. In the medium term there is a still high potential for increasing exports, in the long term this requires expansion of the transport infrastructure. However, despite all these limitations, it is possible to predict partial preservation of market niches in the markets of NEA-3 and India for the Russian fossil fuels. In the emerging hydrogen market, the niches of Japan and the Republic of Korea will likely be closed to Russia; in the markets of China and India, which focused on their own production, Russian products will most likely lose out in price competition.

Published: December 2023

This study explores the novel effect of Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) electromagnetic waves on the fermentation process of sticky rice tape, a traditional Indonesian food made from glutinous rice. ELF electromagnetic waves are waves consisting of magnetic fields and electric fields that do not require intermediaries in their propagation and have frequencies ranging from 0-300 Hz. The study uses a unique experimental method that exposes 2 kg of sticky rice tape, divided into 10 control and 10 experimental samples, each weighing 100 grams and wrapped in ziplock plastic, to ELF electromagnetic waves for two days. The study uses a device that generates ELF electromagnetic waves with a certain intensity and frequency. The study measures the changes in the pH, density, and taste of the sticky rice tape samples after the exposure. The results show that the experimental group’s sticky rice tape had a higher pH, higher density, and sweeter taste than the control group’s sticky rice tape. The study proves the effect of ELF electromagnetic waves on the fermentation process of sticky rice tape and provides insights for the development of new food processing techniques. The study demonstrates the applicability and innovation of using ELF electromagnetic waves for food fermentation.

Published: December 2023

Background: The assistance provided in Intensive Care Units is focused on specialized care for patients in
critical condition. Considering critical patients admitted to Intensive Care Units, multidisciplinary care consists of complex
and special care. In this context, the question arises about the role of multidisciplinary team assistance in implementing
adequate care centered on the patient as a whole and not just focusing on the disease. Objective: The study aimed to
investigate in national publications the challenges and perspectives of the multidisciplinary team's performance in the
Intensive Care Unit. Methodology: This is a bibliographic review article in which an exploratory research was carried out,
with a qualitative approach. The search took place in the LILLACS and SCIELO databases from February to May 2023. 22
scientific articles were analyzed using as inclusion criteria articles published in Portuguese; complete, published and
indexed in the aforementioned databases in the last ten years. Results: As a result, it became clear that the know-how of
different categories of health professionals working together plays a fundamental role in the care of critical patients in the
Intensive Care Unit and this requires these professionals to have scientific knowledge and technical skills in care services.
Furthermore, they must seek to provide qualified, comprehensive, multidisciplinary care based on scientific evidence. It was
concluded that assistance to critically ill patients in the Intensive Care Unit is highly relevant and essential. Conclusion: It
was observed that is essential for those professionals to carry out their activity in an ethical, holistic manner, aiming at
physical, biological, psychological and social care in order to guarantee patient safety at all moments of care through the use
of effective communication and noise free

This scientific study examines the experience of using astaxanthin in feeding tilapia fingerlings, and its effect on the physiological state of individuals. The work used a set of methods used in fisheries research - variation statistics and hematological tests. The data obtained during the study indicate that the use of astaxanthin at a concentration of 20.0 mg per 1 kg of feed gives the best indicators of the physiological state of tilapia fingerlings. Analyzing the data obtained after the completion of the experimental work, a significant increase in the level of hemoglobin concentration in the experimental variant by 1.3 times was established in comparison with the control variant.

The effect of shielded phenol derivatives in comparison with the water-soluble analog of vitamin E – Trolox, on the activity of sterlet sperm and on the fish-breeding indicators of fertilized sterlet eggs before the cryopreservation process was studied in this work. A positive effect of (L)-1-(2-((1-hydroxyphenyl)thio)acetin)pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid on sperm activity indicators has been established, which is expressed in an increase in the proportion of living cells and their lifetime. Evaluation of fish-breeding indicators of sterlet reproductive caviar indicates a greater survival rate of cells at the stage of gastrulation in the presence of L-derivative of phenol. The protective effect of this substance exceeds the activity of the reference compound - Trolox at all stages of the study. An increase in the survival of offspring in the early stages of development with the addition of an L-proline derivative makes it possible to consider it as a genetically active substance that enhances repair processes.

The Analysis of the financial stability of an organization is an important tool for assessing its financial condition and ability to withstand external economic factors. In today's business environment, where market volatility and economic instability are inevitable, checking financial strength before entering into a contract becomes a critical aspect of a successful transaction. One of the effective tools for analyzing financial stability is the Altman model. These models were developed by Professor Edward Altman in the 1960s and assess the likelihood of an organization's financial crisis. The financial stability of the organization was analyzed using the Altman model, net asset value assessment, capital structure, dynamics of net assets and additional coefficients.

A white Bengal tiger was determined to have a central retinal lesion and a central visual defect. Because of the known association between feline central retinal degeneration (crd) and taurine deficiency in domestic cats, plasma concentrations of taurine were measured in this tiger. Serum concentrations of taurine, methionine, and cystine also were measured in white Bengal tigers, orange Bengal tigers, taurine-sufficient domestic cats, and taurine-deprived and tissue-taurine-depleted visually impaired cats with crd. Hepatic and brain enzymes responsible for taurine synthesis were identified in tissue specimens from an orange Bengal tiger. Serum taurine concentrations were lower in white vs orange tigers, but were not as low as those in cats with crd. Thus, we concluded that taurine depletion did not account for the central retinal lesion in the white Bengal tiger.

Published: December 2023

The severity of lymphoproliferative disease associated with malignant catarrhal fever was extremely variable among 25 animals at the San Diego Wild Animal Park. Severe lymphoproliferative disease was seen in 3 of 10 Formosan Sika deer (Cervus nippon taiouanus), 3 of 6 Indian Axis deer (Cervus a axis), 3 of 6 Barasingha deer (Cervus d duvauceli), and 1 of 3 Nilgai (Boselaphus tragocamelus). Two Sika deer and 2 Barasingha deer had lesions morphologically indistinguishable from lymphosarcoma. Our findings were consistent with the hypothesis that alcelaphine herpesvirus-1 has oncogenic potential.
