FRACTURE-DISLOCATIONS OF THE ELBOW: CAN THEY INFLUENCE THE PATTERN FRACTURE OF RADIAL HEAD?
Authors: Silva Thiago Augusto da , Malaquias Alexandre Martins , Cruz Marcio Alves , Kikuta Fernando Kenji , Mouraria Guilherme Grisi , Etchebehere Maurício
Published: June 2024

ABSTRACT Introduction: Radial head fractures are consistently part of a terrible triad of the elbow and can occur in association with Monteggia fracture-dislocations, transolecranon fractures, and their variations. Understanding the degree of comminution of the radial head fracture and the location of fragments determines the course of action to be taken. Objectives: To correlate fracture-dislocations with the pattern of radial head fracture (number of fragments) and involvement in the proximal radioulnar region. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study (level II) of patients undergoing surgery for radial head fractures associated with fracture-dislocations. Patients had radiographs in anteroposterior and lateral views, as well as tomography. The number of radial head fracture fragments and the presence of fractures in the proximal radioulnar region were correlated with the type of fracture-dislocation and demographic variables. Conclusion: Elbow fracture-dislocation types could not predict the number of fragments and the location of radial head fractures. However, most injuries presented three or more fragments in the radial head, and many had involvement of the proximal radioulnar region, suggesting high-energy trauma.

Published: June 2024

ABSTRACT Blepharoplasty in equines is rarely performed because periocular tissues present low mobility, especially in the lower eyelid, which frequently subjects this species to enucleation. Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is among the most common malignant neoplasms of the eyes and annexes, which increases local recurrences due to the lack of available safety margin. A 12-year-old Creole equine with a white coat presenting an ulcerative lesion on the lower right eyelid was treated. The treatment strategy considering the SCC suspicion was the surgical excision of the lesion and maintenance of the eye, followed by blepharoplasty for eyelid reconstruction. The hemi H-plasty technique was performed to reconstruct the right lower eyelid after a skin incision circumscribing the lesion and respecting a safety margin. Two parallel skin incisions were made from the base of the surgical wound, twice the length of the defect height, and small triangles of skin (Burow’s triangles) were excised, and then the flap was advanced into the wound and fixed. No postoperative complications or tumor recurrence were observed during the following 24 months of follow-up, and the technique ensured the functional and aesthetic reconstruction of the region.

ABSTRACT Chronic hepatitis (CH) is characterized by the replacement of hepatocytes for fibrotic tissue after injury, and treatment is not curative. Stem cell therapy has shown potential to reduce liver fibrosis. This report describes the management of a dog with CH with a mesenchymal cell-based approach. A 13-year old dog was presented with weight loss, vomiting, diarrhea, and lethargy. She was previously diagnosed with CH. Blood analysis showed hypoalbuminemia, increased serum activities of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and anemia. Three 2.5x106 bone marrow-derived mesenchymal cells transplantations were performed. After the first transplantation, the owner reported an improvement in clinical signs. Biochemistry evidenced a reduction in ALP activity. After the second administration, serum biochemistry showed a decrease in serum ALT and ALP activities, which kept falling after the third transplantation. There was an increase in albumin and total plasmatic proteins concentration. After six months, the dog came back for control and further improvement in clinical signs, new decrease in ALT activity and a mild increase in ALP concentration was observed. Increase in total and plasmatic protein were also observed. Stem cell-based therapy may be considered a promising alternative for liver diseases. It was safe and showed efficacy in this report.

Published: June 2024

ABSTRACT Leishmaniasis is one of the most important health dilemmas facing the World Health Organization (WHO), due to it being widespread and the great diversity of sand flies that transmit it. This study aimed to detect the presence of Leishmania parasites in the sand flies spread in Refugee camps by PCR- RLFP technique. A total of 437 sandflies were collected and classified into two species Phlebotomus papatasi and Phlebotomus sergenti. DNA was extracted from the female fly species, then the PCR reaction was amplified by two primers (LITSR, L5.8S) that transcribed a partial internal transcribed spacer (ITS)-1 gene for Leishmania parasite with a length of 320 bp. PCR showed the presence of Leishmania DNA in females of both P. papatasi (10%) and P. sergenti (20%). To determine Leishmania species transmitted by the two previous fly species, the RFLP-PCR technique was performed by the HaeIII enzyme for Leishmania DNA extracted from them. RFLP-PCR showed that P. papatasi females transmitted Leishmania major and P. sergenti females transmitted Leishmania tropica in Refugee camps. It could be concluded that leishmaniasis is widely distributed in Refugee camps due to the presence of its vector.

Circulação exacerbada: experiências comunicacionais na midiatização da saúde
Authors: Falchi Maria do Carmo Pasquali
Published: June 2024

Resumo Atualmente, no cenário da comunicação e saúde, pacientes ascendem às plataformas digitais para produzir conteúdo, interagir, buscar informações e criar uma comunidade de apoio. Nesse contexto, esses sujeitos elaboram a si mesmos e a enfermidades com base em diferentes sentidos produzidos e postos em circulação. Diante do exposto, este artigo tem como objetivo investigar como se constituem as experiências comunicacionais de pacientes com Síndrome de Turner (ST) e de seus familiares no contexto da midiatização da saúde, assim como averiguar como estas configuram o processo de circulação exacerbada. Para tanto, foram analisados comentários da página do Facebook da Turner Syndrome Global Alliance e do canal do YouTube Butterfly TV. Assim, a Circulação Exacerbada pode ser compreendida como uma processualidade na qual há a exaltação, o redimensionamento, a reconfiguração e o reforço dos sentidos por meio dos aspectos da vida íntima dos sujeitos. É por meio dela que sentidos são modificados e criados sobre o viver com a desordem cromossômica. Ou seja, a circulação exacerbada permite que as pacientes meninas e mulheres elaborem a si mesmas e deem novas configurações ao que é ter ST. Isso muda a relação de poderes existentes, colocando as pacientes como protagonistas no processo de compreender essa doença rara.
Influence of Neonatal Ankyloglossia on exclusive breastfeeding in the six first months of life: a cohort study
Authors: Batista Christyann Lima Campos , Pereira Alex Luiz Pozzobon
Published: June 2024

ABSTRACT Purpose To analyze the influence of ankyloglossia on the prevalence and duration of exclusive breastfeeding of full-term infants up to the sixth month of life. Methods Prospective cohort study, carried out with 225 mother-infant dyads who were followed up in the first six months of life in a center specialized in breastfeeding in a tertiary hospital. Full-term infants with asymptomatic ankyloglossia (no need for surgery) were compared with infants without change at monthly follow-up. Ankyloglossia was diagnosed using the Bristol Tongue Assessment Tool, with a positive diagnosis being considered for those with a score less than or equal to 5 considering functional and anatomical aspects. Statistical analyzes were performed using descriptive statistics, logistic regression (weaning determinants), relative risk, and survival curves (to analyze breastfeeding duration between groups with and without ankyloglossia). Results Ankyloglossia was associated with weaning (considered even partial) before the sixth month of life. After adjusted analysis, a higher risk of weaning was detected in infants with this alteration, with a risk present from the second month of life. In the survival analysis, the duration of breastfeeding in infants with ankyloglossia was shorter when compared to children without alterations. Conclusion Compared to infants with normal lingual frenulum, babies with ankyloglossia had shorter exclusive breastfeeding time, but well above the average observed in the general population. The risk of weaning for this group was also higher.

RESUMO O presente estudo teve por objetivo analisar a exposição aos agrotóxicos e os danos à saúde dos trabalhadores das plantações de cana-de-açúcar em Pernambuco. Trata-se de pesquisa participante desenvolvida em territórios rurais de cinco municípios com forte expressão em área plantada de cana-de-açúcar. Os dados primários foram produzidos em oficinas com trabalhadores rurais para construção de diagnóstico rural participativo, analisados mediante condensação de significados e interpretados à luz do referencial teórico da epidemiologia crítico latino-americana. Os resultados estão apresentados em três seções: i) Fluxograma do trabalho nas plantações de cana-de-açúcar; ii) Exposição aos agrotóxicos utilizados nas lavouras; iii) Danos à saúde do trabalhador. Conclui-se que a exposição permanente aos agrotóxicos envolve o trabalho nas plantações de cana-de-açúcar e emerge de um construto histórico e socioambiental, em que se encontram subsumidos os modos de vida dos territórios sob o domínio do agronegócio canavieiro. Recomendam-se políticas públicas de fomento à agricultura familiar com diversificação, escoamento e distribuição da produção agroecológica, além do fortalecimento da Atenção Primária à Saúde e de ações integradas de vigilância epidemiológica, sanitária, ambiental e do trabalhador.

Published: June 2024

ABSTRACT This paper examined the Front for Life (Frente pela Vida, FpV), a movement of organised civil society in the health field, which sought to achieve political impact in response to the health crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in the context of the Bolsonaro administration. Information was obtained through a document review of FpV publications, participant observation in meetings, demonstrations, livestreams and events in which the front participated or organised, as well as interviews of participants in its operating group. The analytical categories used were origin, trajectory, movements, management, the relationship between the FpV and the health sector reform movement, sustainability, challenges and the FpV’s prospects. The results showed that the FpV has led a large policy network of individual and collective subjects, scientific entities and organisations representing various segments of civil society to update the health sector movement and expand its social support base. Its trajectory has involved mainly technical, scientific and political action in multiple areas, working with the Executive, Judiciary and Legislative branches of government, as well as civil society. In conclusion, the FpV has proved to be an important social movement pressing the State to defend life and the universal right to health and to expand and strengthen Brazil’s Unified Health System, the SUS.

Published: June 2024

La salud mental perinatal refiere a los procesos psicosociales que ocurren en el embarazo, parto y puerperio. Se realizó un estudio con diseño cuanti-cualitativo, con muestreo por cuotas, con embarazadas y puérperas de tres hospitales en dos provincias argentinas en pandemia por Covid-19. Se realizó una encuesta presencial a 300 mujeres. Los resultados indican un leve aumento del tiempo dedicado a los cuidados y una disminución del dedicado al trabajo remunerado. Se encontró una gran preocupación por los cambios en la atención sanitaria, el cuidado y salud de sus hijos/as y la gestión cotidiana del cuidado. Se registró alta incidencia de ansiedad en embarazadas y depresión puerperal. Estudiar la salud mental materna y la organización de los cuidados bajo la perspectiva de género permite una comprensión más integral de los padecimientos de las mujeres madres entendidas como sujetos sociales.

Este estudo examinou a produção do cuidado nos serviços de saúde, adotando a metodologia participativa “rio da vida”. Realizado em uma comunidade ribeirinha no interior do Amazonas, a pesquisa utilizou essa abordagem reflexiva, envolvendo a criação de um rio com materiais artísticos, como lápis coloridos e cartolina. A técnica promoveu a proximidade com as histórias, trajetórias e empoderamento de agentes comunitários, usuários e cuidadores. Essa experiência profunda proporcionou insights sobre os desafios territoriais no acesso à saúde em situações urgentes. A gravação das narrativas durante os trabalhos coletivos serviu como método de coleta de dados, facilitando o diálogo entre a equipe de saúde e cuidadores; e enriquecendo a compreensão das dinâmicas regionais envolvidas no cuidado emergencial.
HEIDEGGER E A ESQUIZOFRENIA: O ESTADO DE PRIVAÇÃO DO DASEIN NOS SEMINÁRIOS DE ZOLLIKON
Authors: Moreira Nathalia Claro
Published: June 2024

O objetivo deste artigo é compreender a esquizofrenia através da interpretação fenomenológica de Martin Heidegger, examinando suas ideias apresentadas em "Ser e Tempo" e nas palestras que constituem os “Seminários de Zollikon”. Heidegger considerou a esquizofrenia não como uma simples anomalia fisiológica, mas como um estado de privação da abertura do Dasein ao estar-junto no mundo, o que resulta em uma pobreza de contato. O artigo analisa como essa privação modifica a capacidade do Dasein de tornar-presente, ou seja, de estabelecer relações significativas com o espaço e com o tempo, o que influencia a maneira como o indivíduo percebe e interage conceitualmente com o mundo e consigo mesmo. Em última instância, o artigo argumenta que, para Heidegger, é crucial analisar as psicopatologias fenomenologicamente, indo além das explicações fisiológicas e focando na experiência vivida e nas estruturas de significado que unem sujeito e objeto na cotidianidade.
Brooke on the Merton Thesis: A Direct Replication of John Hedley Brooke’s Chapter on Scientific and Religious Reform
Authors: van Eyghen Hans , van den Brink Gijsbert , Peels Rik
Published: June 2024

Awareness of the need for replication studies is growing in multiple disciplines. Replication in history and the humanities, however, is close to nonexistent. This article presents the results of a direct replication of John Hedley Brooke’s study into the role of Puritanism in increasing the legitimacy of (practical or applied) science. The study serves as a pilot for the possibility and feasibility of replication in history. We give an overview of both what replication studies are and Brooke’s original study. We subsequently revisit Brooke’s study. For this purpose, we reconstruct Brooke’s research protocol, revisit his sources, and include some new sources. We note minor points of divergence with the interpretation of sources on the dominance of Puritans in applied sciences. We conclude that the pilot study shows the importance of replication for history and that replication in history raises new challenges for replication studies.
Принципы права: проблемы применения

Published: June 2024

Федеральный закон от 31 июля 2020 г . № 247-ФЗ «Об обязательных требованиях в Российской Федерации» (далее — Федеральный закон № 247-ФЗ) определяет правила «лучшего регулирования» экономических отношений . В законе проводится идея замкнутого регуляторного цикла с включением общественности в процессы разработки и оценки действия нормативных правовых актов, а также определены принципы, которые должны применяться в рамках этих процессов (принципы установления и оценки применения обязательных требований) . Принципы права в статье рассматриваются на примере принципов, предусмотренных Федеральным законом № 247-ФЗ . Содержание указанных принципов дает основание полагать, что они имеют конституционно-правовую природу, которая раскрывается в решениях Конституционного Суда Российской Федерации . Автор предполагает, что содержание принципов установления и оценки применения обязательных требований шире, чем буквально сформулировано в Федеральном законе № 247-ФЗ, и на практике может быть дополнено позициями Суда . В связи с этим цель данной статьи — продемонстрировать конституционно-правовой характер принципов Федерального закона № 247-ФЗ, более полно раскрыть их содержание и возможное применение . Автор показывает, что принципы законности, обоснованности обязательных требований, исполнимости обязательных требований развивают конституционные принципы соразмерности и пропорциональности ограничений прав и свобод, баланса частных и публичных интересов, формируя тест на пропорциональность и соразмерность ограничений, порождаемых обязательными требованиями . Принципы правовой определенности и системности, открытости и предсказуемости основываются на принципе поддержания доверия к действиям государства, вытекающем из конституционных принципов юридического равенства и справедливости в правовом демократическом государстве . При рассмотрении принципов сделан акцент на их регуляторном потенциале и проблемах реализации, в том числе затронут ряд вопросов проведения оценки регулирующего воздействия и оценки применения обязательных требований . Также в статье исследуется правовое содержание основных понятий Федерального закона № 247-ФЗ: обязательные требования, охраняемые законом ценности, риск причинения вреда (ущерба) охраняемым законом ценностям .Для цитирования: Величинская Ю.Н.

О понятии процессуального права
Authors: Kozhevnikov Vladimir
Published: June 2024

Обращая внимание на традиционное деление в отечественной юридической науке системы права на такие разделы, как частное и публичное право, материальное и процессуальное, последний был сделан предметом настоящего исследования. Предлагаемые понятия анализируются как на общетеоретическом, так и на отраслевых уровнях. Различая две группы норм процессуального права, автор утверждает, что первую группу составляют процессуальные нормы, которые по объему регулирования охватывают потребности как минимум нескольких материальных отраслей права. Вследствие этого данной группе норм свойственна высокая степень внутренней организации, соответствующая уровню отрасли российского права, в частности, ясное подразделение этих норм на соответствующие институты. Речь идет о гражданско-процессуальных, уголовно-процессуальных и административно-процессуальных нормах, что дает основания рассматривать названные группы в качестве самостоятельных отраслей российского права. Ко второй группе процессуальных норм относятся нормы, действующие в сфере материального, государственного, финансового, трудового и ряда других отраслей, которые «обслуживают» потребности только «своей» материальной отрасли. Целью настоящего исследования явилось формирование авторского понятия процессуального права. В качестве гипотезы выступает констатация факта, согласно которому в большинстве своем процессуальное право необоснованно понимается как совокупность процессуальных норм, регулирующих процедуру применения соответствующих норм материального права компетентными органами государства и их должностными лицами. Методология работы включает общефилософские (диалектико-материалистический метод), общенаучные (анализ и синтез, индукция и дедукция, сравнение, абстрагирование и др.), специальные (филологический и др.), частно-научные (формально-юридический) методы. Результатом явилось следующее утверждение: юридический процесс немыслим без деятельности граждан-участников процесса, поэтому процессуальные нормы находятся как в отраслях процессуального права, так и в отраслях материального права. В связи с этим предлагается следующая трактовка процессуального права: это совокупность процессуальных норм, находящихся в отраслях процессуального и материального права, во-первых, регламентирующих процедуру применения норм материального права компетентными властными органами; вовторых определяющих правовой статус граждан, юридических лиц, других участников соответствующих процессов.

In the volumetric studies of the brain, there are often conflicting results due to the presence of confounding factors such as age and gender, and covariates like brain volume. At times, in comparison with a control group, for example, this large variability is enough to confound any effect due to the pathology. For this reason, data are generally corrected or normalized by empirical methods as found in other fields of brain studies. In this study, we proposed a normalization method based on a theoretical approach. This method, based on a simple geometrical brain model, has been tested by a comparison with the empirical ones in 16 brain regions, considering two samples of subjects: 19 dyslexics and 10 healthy controls. The results show a good and interesting agreement between data and model and give a new basis for the single subject brain volume normalization. In particular, it is possible to show how the amygdala and the whole brain volume should be thought of, as linked by shape and physiological relation due to the ratio between their volumes.
The Performance Comparison of Multiloop PID Controller on NCS Temperature Plant Based on UDP and TCP
Authors: Feriyonika Feriyonika , Hong Tjan Swi , Fuadi Miftah Hasan
Published: June 2024

Hardware implementations of networked control systems (NCS) are still rarely found in various research publications so that technical issues, such as how to measure random delay and substitute it into the control equation, still need to be studied further. This study is therefore aimed to compare the performance of NCS based on the used protocol in the ethernet network, i.e. user datagram protocol (UDP) or transmission control protocol (TCP), by applying it in room temperature plant. In this study, the controlled plant is influenced by the fan speed, heating, and window position plant. The heating plant is employed as the main control, while the others are set as sub-plants. The three plants use proportional–integral–derivative (PID) controller where they are regulated by fuzzy logic as the master control unit (MCU). The MCU and three PID controllers are located in the master terminal unit (MTU) while the actuators and sensors are located in the three different remote terminal units (RTU). The verification experiment shows that there is no overshoot on TCP-based NCS, while UDP has 0.725%. For the risetime, the response on UDP is faster than TCP (110.22 as compared to 138.18 s). The same thing also happened to the settling time, where the time with UDP was 101.86 s and 128.44 s for TCP.
A High-Precision Earthquake Catalog for Nevada
Authors: Trugman Daniel T.
Published: June 2024

The state of Nevada is home to one of the most seismically active regions in the world, with crustal deformation associated with the Walker Lane transitioning into Basin and Range tectonics as one traverses from west to east across the state. Despite hosting numerous prominent earthquake sequences over the past century and beyond, at present, there exists no unified research-quality earthquake catalog for the state and its surrounding region. Here, we present a newly compiled, high-precision catalog of more than 180,000 earthquakes occurring around Nevada from 2008 to 2023. The data processing workflow to create this catalog includes an absolute location step that accounts for topography and 3D variations in subsurface wavespeed, and a relative relocation step that refines event positions using differential times measured from waveform cross-correlation. We also provide an update to the local magnitude scale that better accounts for the observed distance attenuation of waveform amplitudes as well as local site effects. We describe some fundamental insights that can be derived from the new catalog, including regional variations in event depth distributions and sequence clustering statistics, and publish the catalog to the wider community to facilitate future research efforts.

Published: June 2024

Introduction Self-administered questionnaire recommended by international orthopaedic community is a practical instrument for use in pathological conditions related to the foot and ankle.

The objective was to validate the Russian-language versions of the FADI and FAAM questionnaires to be filled out by orthopaedic patients with forefoot disorders before and after surgical treatment.

Material and methods The study included 100 adult patients with forefoot disorders to be surgically treated. The average age of the patients was 52 ± 12.1 years with 97 % being females and 26 % being athletes. The  patients completed the FADI and FAAM questionnaires preoperatively and at 2 months after surgery and they were requested to fill out the SF-36 questionnaire and the LEFS scale preoperatively.

Results The Cronbach's α value was 0.91 for activities of daily living and 0.94 for sports measured with both questionnaires. The reproducibility of the questionnaires was demonstrated by high ICC values (≥ 0.992) and no  changes (ES < 0.01) in stable patients. Satisfactory construct validity was confirmed by significant correlations in activities of daily living and sports activities; criterion validity was confirmed by the dorsiflexion angle in the MCP1 and the daily (p < 0.001) and sports activities (p < 0.05). Convergent validity of the FADI and FAAM was identified with correlations measured with SF-36 and LEFS. Patients with moderate/severe impairment in range of motion had worse functional status scored with the FADI and FAAM as compared with those who had no/mild impairment. A significant improvement was seen postoperatively in non-athletes (p < 0.001). Sports activity significantly improved postoperatively in athletes (p < 0.05).

Discussion A limitation of the study includes the sample consisting mostly of patients with one type of  orthopaedic pathology (valgus foot). Another limitation is that the majority of patients were females, and the patients were treated in the same health care facility. We can conclude that in the future it would be advisable to test the Russian versions of the FADI and FAAM questionnaires in patients with other foot pathologies and to conduct multicenter studies using these questionnaires.

Conclusion The FADI and FAAM scores measured in the Russian population showed greater sensitivity to changes in the foot/ankle joint in individuals who had indications for surgical treatment for a foot condition.

Published: June 2024

Introduction Surgical treatment of patients with avascular osteonecrosis of the talus and post-traumatic hindfoot deformity is associated with high morbidity, difficulty of early disease detection, the discrepancy between patient expectations and orthopaedic requirements for surgical outcomes due to traditional methods. The use of customized ankle joint replacement may be a potential solution to this problem.

The objective was to evaluate the results of treatment of a patient with avascular osteonecrosis of the talus, crusarthrosis and hindfoot deformity using an original replacement method for the ankle joint and the talus.

Material and methods A 30-year-old patient with post-traumatic avascular osteonecrosis of the talus, crusarthrosis, equinovarus and adducted foot underwent replacement of the ankle joint and talus using the  method developed by the authors. Radiographic and tomographic methods were used for diagnosis. The  VAS  scale, AOFAS, FFI, EFAS questionnaires and pedobarography were used to assess clinical and functional results.

Results The results of treatment evaluated at 12 months showed maintained foot deformity correction, stability of a tailored construct with no signs of loosening and osteolysis. The clinical and functional result showed a 81/2 VAS decrease in pain, functional status improved by 4.3 times with functional foot index (FFI) improved by 2.2 times according to the AOFAS scale at 12 months.

Discussion Orthopaedic surgeons are conducting research aimed at preserving ankle motion in the treatment of  avascular osteonecrosis of the talus. A serious problem is associated with concomitant deformities of the hindfoot and available implants fail to solve this problem.

Conclusion The surgical method offered for the patient provided good clinical and functional results with the hindfoot deformity corrected within one stage reducing the treatment time.
Clinical development of ileofemoral thrombosis caused by malposition of the ileosacral screw
Authors: Grin A. A. , Darvin E. O. , Komarov V. I.
Published: June 2024

Introduction Treatment of unstable injuries of the pelvic bones is one of the unsolved problems in modern traumatology. The instability of the injuries is determined by the nature of the destruction of the posterior semi-ring of the pelvis. The most used technique for osteosynthesis of sacral fractures for unstable pelvic injuries is ileosacral screw fixation.

The purpose of the work was to demonstrate a clinical case of an iatrogenic complication: ileofemoral thrombosis caused by compression of the internal iliac vein due to malposition of the ileosacral screw.

Materials and methods Medical records of a 34-year-old patient injured in a traffic accident (front seat passenger) were studied, who was referred from a district hospital on the fourth day after the injury diagnosed with a fracture of the transverse process of L2 vertebra on the left, closed fracture of the pubic and ischial bones on the left, fracture of the lateral mass of the sacrum on the right. Alcohol intoxication. Traumatic shock stage 1. Treatment results were monitored throughout the inpatient and outpatient treatment periods. Long-term follow-up was 6 months.

Results Timely suspicion of the complication based on physical examination data with CT angiography that assisted to exclude internal bleeding and urgently carry out repeated surgical intervention to correct the  implant malposition, reosteosynthesis of S1 body without loss of reduction, to achieve regression of the clinical picture of ileofemoral thrombosis, and also to mobilize the patient in the shortest possible time. During inpatient treatment, regression of the symptoms of the complication was achieved, the patient was fully activated, and was discharged for outpatient follow-ups.

Discussion Variability in the anatomy of the sacrum and the characteristics of fractures hinder the navigation while inserting iliosacral screws, which in some cases result in malposition. Compression of the common iliac vein without damaging it causes difficulty in blood outflow and the development of a clinical picture of ileofemoral thrombosis in the early postoperative period.

Conclusion This clinical case shows that X-ray images in standard views are not a reliable method for diagnosing sacral injuries and are not sufficient for preoperative planning. The use of standard C-arm did not provide sufficient intraoperative visualization to correctly assess the position of the iliosacral screw, especially in cases with sacral dysmorphia. The 3D volumetric image reconstruction significantly influenced the correct perception of the anatomical structure of the bony structures of the pelvis. Malposition of the screw and its exit to the anterior surface of the sacrum caused disruption of the iliac vein outflow and development of thrombosis in the early postoperative period.

Рассмотрена проблема мониторинга эффективности инновационного проекта, направленного на синтез целевой информации в процессе выполнения научного исследования. Обоснована качественная зависимость роста объема (количества) привлекаемой и генерируемой ценной информации на разных этапах его выполнения от времени. Показано, что возрастание ценности синтезируемой информации обусловлено ее последовательным структурированием от данных к метаданным и далее – к установлению закономерностей исследуемой предметной области. Показано также, что переход к оцениванию себестоимости накапливаемой информации позволяет объединить временной ресурс проекта со всеми остальными ресурсами и тем самым свести мониторинг его эффективности к контролю степени достижения целевого эффекта, состоящего в получении ожидаемого объема новых (оригинальных) результатов.

The article addresses the problem of monitoring the effectiveness of an innovative project aimed at synthesizing target information in the process of carrying out scientific research. The qualitative dependence of the growth in the volume (quantity) of attracted and generated valuable information at different stages of the project is substantiated. The article shows that the increase in the value of synthesized information is due to its sequential structuring from data to metadata and further to the establishment of patterns in the subject area. It is also shown that the transition to estimating the cost of accumulated information makes it possible to combine the time resource of the project with all other resources and, thereby, reduce the monitoring of its effectiveness to monitoring the degree of achievement of the target effect, which consists in obtaining the expected volume of new (original) results.

THE NOTION OF SANCTIONS IN THE DOCTRINE OF INTERNATIONAL LAW
Authors: Karliuha Ye. K.
Published: June 2024

The article explores the issue of sanctions in international law with a focus on defining the term. This topic has been of interest to researchers for many years, but there is still no universally accepted approach to resolving it, both in terms of international law doctrine and its sources. This lack of clarity in terminology creates practical problems related to controversial practices in applying sanctions and their subsequent legal assessment from the perspective of international law. Given the increasing number of sanctions regimes, it is crucial to address these issues urgently. While foreign legal literature has made systematic attempts to tackle this problem, domestic literature has not paid sufficient attention to the concept of sanctions. Taken together, these factors point to the expediency of conducting this study, which aims to outline the range of measures that are defined as sanctions in modern international law.
Based on the analysis conducted, it is argued that the science of international law adopts two approaches in defining sanctions. The first, broad approach suggests that the concept of sanctions should encompass coercive measures taken by the injured state individually as self-help in the form of countermeasures and retorsions to ensure compliance with the violated obligations by the offending state, as well as coercive measures taken collectively by the UNSC under Chapter VII of the UN Charter to restore international legality. Instead, the second, narrower approach defines sanctions exclusively as coercive measures applied by the UNSC under Chapter VII of the UN Charter. The author concludes that the narrow approach is currently regarded as prevailing in the science and aligns with the provisions of modern international law.
Simultaneously, attention is drawn to the widespread phenomenon of so-called “unilateral sanctions” in the world practice, the definition and legal nature of which also remain controversial. The review of existing definitions concludes that they all share the common understanding of these measures as coercive measures taken by a state, group of states, or international organizations without the approval of the UNSC, with the intention of compelling another state to change its policy. This understanding of “unilateral sanctions” distinguishes them from “sanctions” in the strict sense of the term and as defined by the prevailing narrow approach. Nonetheless, the practice of state relations shows the widespread use of these measures and their identification as “sanctions” in domestic legislation. This suggests that, in reality, there are two distinct coercive measures referred to as “sanctions” in today’s international reality. These include coercive measures taken by the UNSC under Chapter VII of the UN Charter, as well as coercive measures taken by a state, a group of states, or international organizations without the approval of the UNSC to compel another state to change its policy.
PROTECTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT UNDER OCСUPATION: SCOPE AND CONTENT OF LEGAL OBLIGATIONS OF THE OCCUPIER
Authors: Nihreieva O. O.
Published: June 2024

The article is dedicated to the problem of the protection of the environment on occupied territories. Due to the fact that the law of occupation doesn’t contain legal rules establishing environmental obligations of the occupying power, the environment on the territories under its authority often becomes a victim of the overexploitation and destruction. At the same time, it is suggested that the current international law, in particular, international human rights law and international environmental law, can be used to fill gaps in the rules of international humanitarian law. Certainly, the scope and the content of occupier’s obligations will be different depending on the instruments applied for the protection of the environment. The author concludes that the occupying state may be bound by its own multilateral environmental agreements, multilateral environmental agreements of the state which territory is occupied or both groups of treaties. A case-by-case approach to environmental human rights protection can serve as a useful tool for the concretization of occupier’s environmental obligations.
Anesthesia Applications In Experimental Neurological Disease Modeling
Authors: Çetinkaya Ayhan , Çelik Hümeyra
Published: June 2024

Neuroscience, which covers the molecular mechanisms employed by the brain to cause neurological diseases and how they can be treated, remains current as the subject of high-budget investigations to develop early diagnosis and new treatment modalities with multidisciplinary approaches. For this purpose, creating the appropriate model with the correct modality and anesthesia in neurological in vivo experimental models is the most important phase to obtain accurate results and ensure animal welfare. To manage anesthesia in rodents, knowing the physiological characteristics of anesthetics and their risks will strengthen experimental procedures. Among the injectable anesthetics, ketamine, xylazine, and pentobarbital are the most frequently preferred agents for general anesthesia in short surgical procedures. Isoflurane and sevoflurane are inhaler anesthetics that are administered through a vaporizer because they are liquids. Important advantages of inhaled anesthetics, such as rapid induction and rapid withdrawal, make inhaled anesthetics stand out in neuroscience studies. In this review, the properties of frequently used anesthetic agents in rodents, their usage methods, and which model they are preferred will be discussed. For this purpose, the selection of appropriate anesthetics in animal models such as epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease, ischemia-reperfusion injury, traumatic brain injury, ischemic stroke, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, and ophthalmic surgical procedures and their side effects will be reviewed.
Tadeusz Kantor w sieci tekstów
Authors: Stangret Paweł
Published: June 2024

In his work Tadeusz Kantor referred to various types of texts. He used self-commentary and recontextualized his statements, also explaining his own works in various ways. The author describes what Kantor’s avant-garde style is. He focuses on borderline forms or statements which combine painting and literary creativity. In particular, the article looks at the ‘Definitions’ cycle, which consists of works on paper, Ideas and definitions, and Images-definitions, i.e. on a series of paintings (on canvas and paper) with texts on them. As shown by the author, Kantor’s painting, theater and literary works give each other a context, create a mutual network of intertextual relations. These connections are consciously created by the artist himself.
