He was the first oncologist-scientist in Serbia. Đ. Joannović's death occurred in the night following the incident and humiliation experienced in Petar Živković's cabinet. It was certainly a big emotional blow, a disappointment, and shock for Đ. J. Like old Serbs who used to die for their honor, he committed suicide.
Criminal profilers: Human lie detectors
Authors: Bjelajac Željko , Filipović Aleksandar
Published: June 2023

For a long time, people have demonstrated a natural tendency to analyze and assess fellow humans as well as animals, objects, and similar entities, even in everyday scenarios. However, it is a little bit strange that criminal profiling became integrated into standard investigative practices within law enforcement not before the 1980s. Criminal profilers primarily fulfill their role by working on the resolution of intricate crimes where the identity of the perpetrator is unknown. On the other hand, they also have a suppressive impact, and to a lesser degree, a preventive influence, which is enhanced by considering the risk factors associated with the emergence of criminal behavior, as well as the study of criminal phenomenology. The techniques employed in criminal profiling aid in the timely identification of symptoms that indicate a combination of biological, social, and environmental factors, including learning and situational elements. As we navigate through the factors contributing to the development of criminal behavior, as well as the suppression and prevention of crime through the efforts of criminal profilers, we reach the significance of their role in detecting deception and the essentiality of human presence and intervention in diverse formal conversations, encompassing law enforcement, social work, and education. The aim of this paper is to systematically shed light on the factors contributing to the development of criminal behavior, to investigate the phenomenology of crime and to highlight the role of criminal profilers in the prevention and suppression of crime, as well as to analyze their role in the process of lie detection, while giving recommendations for the incorporation of profiling techniques into the body of knowledge and skills of teachers, pedagogues, psychologists, social workers, and others. The methods used in this study include a quantitative and qualitative analysis, using primary and secondary sources, as well as a comparative analysis.
Structural PCA-MLR model of the innovation environment in BRICS countries
Authors: Petkovski Ivana
Published: June 2023

The process of globalization forces market changes in the form of intense competition. Economies can survive by getting competitive advantage in the global market through developing innovation. The main target of this empirical research is to discover the most important innovation components that constitute structure of the global innovation index (GII) and judge their influence in emerging BRICS economies. Innovation process is discussed on the grounds of GII ranking scores accumulated from 2011 to 2021. The research outcome of the Principal Component Analysis adopted nine components that represent seven dimensions. Extracted components are further used in the regression analysis to establish a multiple linear regression (MLR) equation for predicting the GII score used in the overall ranking. Derived regression solution introduced valuable MLR results with high coefficient of determination where 98.2% of the GII values are explained by the extracted components. The dominant effects on GII are attained in innovation components that include general infrastructure and knowledge workers. Moreover, comparison analysis of the actual and computed GII scores illustrated 99.1% overlap between the two values. Evaluated results of the PCA-MLR analysis serve to investigate the success in developing innovation performances in emerging economies by comparing innovation index accomplished by BRICS.
Use of big data analytics for small and medium sized businesses

Published: June 2023

Small and medium sized business has an important place in the economy of all countries. In modern conditions of Industry 4.0 development, the introduction of big data analytics into the performance of small and medium-sized businesses can become the basis for sustainability growth of their functioning and their competitive advantages' development. However, the use of Big Data technology is not typical for small and medium enterprises. At the same time, the issues of big data analytics use by small and medium-sized businesses in the context of their resource and infrastructure constraints are poorly studied. The purpose of this article is to develop a conceptual model for the implementation of big data analytics in the activities of small and medium-sized businesses, taking into account their digitalization problems. The study was made on the basis of the Russian economy data. The analysis of the issues of big data analytics' use for small and medium-sized businesses was based on the methodology of system analysis with the identification of object, environment and project-process development subsystems. The novelty of research consists in the fact that the development model of the structure of big data use was carried out in accordance with the content of the main tasks that must be solved within data management life cycle. The results of the study showed that the main issues of the introduction of big data analytics in the activities of small and medium-sized businesses are associated with a lack of understanding of its benefits by entrepreneurs. Also significant problems are the lack of financial resources and the lack of qualified employees capable of strategic administration of these processes. Given these problems, the authors conclude that the model for use of big data analytics by small and medium-sized businesses should be based on the use of cloud software and analysis of projects with open source big data. The article suggests the structure of the model for big data use by small and medium-sized businesses. This paper contributes to the development of ideas about the directions of digitalization of small and mediumsized businesses in order to increase the sustainability of this economic sector in the context of Industry 4.0. Further research by the authors is connected with effectiveness evaluation of mechanisms and tools of government support made for digital business transformations.
Universality of facial expressions: An interplay between biology and culture
Authors: Barzut Vesna , Đorić Valentina
Published: June 2023

The majority of people almost effortlessly read emotions based on the facial expressions of other people. Numerous studies suggest that even newborns are showing interest in faces and facial expressions suggesting that this ability might be relevant from the evolutionary standpoint. This is additionally supported by cross-cultural studies that clearly demonstrate the existence of a limited number of basic emotions which are universal. Furthermore, the influence of culture and the living environment is evident regarding emotional display and recognition accuracy. From a developmental standpoint, available data suggest that the development of facial expressions recognition could be described by an inverted U curve. Starting from childhood through adulthood, we are developing the same sort of expertise in facial expression recognition. Later, with aging, the recognition of particular expressions is declining. The exact underlying mechanisms that play a role here are not fully grasped yet. In this review, we shortly summarized previous studies that investigated the universality of facial expressions and cultural effects on facial expressions recognition. Furthermore, the potential developmental courses were explained and some of the open questions were outlined regarding this topic.

Authors: Ardiansyah Muhammad , Barus Baba , Puspita Gita , Jaya Adi
Published: June 2023

Oil palm is a carbon absorbing plant that stores it in biomass. To monitor biomass, especially in large areas of oil palm plantations, remote sensing data can be used combined with machine learning algorithms. The aims of this study were to estimate oil palm biomass carbon according to age class using non-destructive methods, as well as analyze the relationship between the reflectance of Sentinel 2 image oil palm and oil palm biomass carbon, and estimate the distribution of oil palm biomass carbon using a learning algorithm random forest (RF) engine. Measurement of biomass at the study site was carried out non-destructively using stratified purposive sampling. The closeness of the relationship between Sentinel 2 image and measured oil palm biomass is assessed from the coefficient of determination of the regression equation. Estimation of the distribution of biomass carbon in all research locations was carried out using the RF method with the Dzetsaka classification tool. The results showed that the highest biomass carbon stock was obtained in oil palm aged 20 years with an average of 59.6 tons C/ha, while the lowest biomass carbon stock was obtained in oil palm aged 17 years with an average of 32.9 tons C/ha. The reflectance value of Sentinel-2 image on the blue, green, red, and near infrared channels has a positive correlation to biomass carbon from oil palm with an R² greater than 0.8. The classification of biomass carbon with the RF approach applied to Sentinel-2 image gives an adequate accuracy value of 76.40% in the combination of the proportion of training and testing data 60% : 40%.
Las nuevas formas de la diplomacia
Authors: González Olvera Pedro
Published: June 2023

De manera reciente, la diplomacia –como práctica y como objeto de estudio– ha recibido un renovado interés en los más diversos círculos académicos del mundo. Son innumerables los artículos y los libros publicados tan sólo en lo que va del siglo XXI. La aparición de nuevos actores de las relaciones internacionales o la intensificación de su participación en ese campo, así como la cada vez más intensa utilización de los nuevos medios de comunicación por las Cancillerías de prácticamente todos los países y de los nuevos actores ha dado como resultado la multiplicación de la interacción entre ellos y la aparición de supuestas nuevas formas de la diplomacia, de manera que toda acción que traspasa una frontera nacional se le ha denominado con un nombre al que le antecede el término diplomacia. En este artículo buscamos demostrar que en realidad la diplomacia mantiene su esencia y que las que se consideran nuevas formas de la misma, en realidad no lo son tanto. En la misma línea, se suele afirmar, equivocadamente, que las herramientas novedosas usadas en el ejercicio de la diplomacia la han transformado, confundiendo el contenido con el contenedor, lo cual solo contribuye a una multiplicidad de términos que no tienen sentido.
Derechos humanos de First Nations, Inuit y Metis: una tarea pendiente en la política canadiense
Authors: Pompa Dávalos María Elena
Published: June 2023

El ensayo revisará la relación entre la “Declaración de las Naciones Unidas sobre los derechos de los pueblos indígenas” (UNDRIP) adoptada por la Asamblea General en 2007 y por Canadá en 2010, con la posterior creación de la “Comisión de la Verdad y Reconciliación”, ambos como instrumentos de diplomacia indígena. Lo anterior, servirá como punto de partida para conocer la situación federal de comunidades indias que han enfrentado por décadas discriminación e imposición de políticas de asimilación a patrones culturales que les son ajenos, lo que conlleva la pérdida de tradiciones sociales y económicas, y en casos extremos algunos fueron víctimas de las llamadas residential schools católicas desde inicios del Siglo XX, establecidas por la Indian Act de 1876.
The long-term perspective in the study of the history of international relations
Authors: Sarquís Ramírez David Jamile
Published: June 2023

This essay explores the possible answers to the question, when do international relations (IR) appear? The question itself invites a distinction between IR as theory and as practice. The traditional landmark for the latter has been the mid-seventeenth century, after the signing of the peace treaties that put an end to the Thirty Years war (1648) and gave way to the emergence of the Westphalian model on international relations. This landmark has been justified based on the specificity of interaction between the newly born sovereign states, which changed the scene of previous exchanges among independent polities. In spite of the validity of the argument, the long-term view proposes enhancing the historical horizon for the study of international relations in search of precedents to cast light both on the sociological regularities and the historical singularities in the modes of interaction among independent polities at a larger scale. The aim is to break away from the etno-centricity of the Westphalian model and the cultural dominance of western thought, which has traditionally neglected regional experiences in different latitudes and assumes that international relations is an exclusively European tradition. From this perspective, the emergence of IR as theory must also be reconsidered.

Interview with Professor Kalevi Holsti: Brief Reflections on the Discipline of International Relations and World Problems
Authors: Sarquís Ramirez David Jamile , Lozano Vázquez Alberto
Published: June 2023

The long-run trend in the decline of interstate war is notable. Once a common feature of all civilizations and geographical areas, the world since 1945 has featured a very low probability that two or more states would resolve their conflicting interests by armed conflict. The probability that in any given year war between states will occur has declined to less than one percent. This pattern contrasts with the prevalence of domestic violence since 1945. Wars within states have made up the vast majority of armed conflicts, but our models of International Politics have little to say about them. But the benign International situation of the post Cold War era has begun to crumble. The Russian attack on the Ukraine, tensions over Taiwan, the lapse of arms control agreements, the arms build-up of China and India are indicators of increased dangers and greater probabilities of armed conflicts between states. Cyber wars, as between Israel and Iran, have also appeared. The certainties of the Cold War era have been replaced by uncertainties and higher risks.

Fluid-Structure Interation of a Rigid Wing for Minesto Deep Green, a Tidal Energy Device
Authors:   Applied Computing & Engineering Limited, Hung Daniel , Mosquera Anthony , McGlinchey Don
Published: June 2023

Fluid structure interaction (FSI) analysis has been performed on the main wing structure of an underwater renewable energy tidal flow device using methods of different fidelity. A lower fidelity method represented the wing as a series of beams (1D line elements) which deflect and rotate under hydrodynamic load. These deflections and rotations were used to update the geometry for the hydrodynamic model where updated forces and moments were calculated using potential flow theory with integral boundary layer (2D panel methods). The higher fidelity method represented the wing using a combination of 3D solid elements for the foam structure inside the wing and 2D shell elements for the carbon fibre wing stiffening beams and fibre glass wing skin. The results of a modal analysis of the wing structure were used in a 3D CFD simulation that coupled the modal equations with the Navier-Stokes equations to compute the deformed shape of the wing under hydrodynamic load. In both cases, the maximum deformations of the wing were quite small (<25mm) compared to the wing size (12m span, 3.3m maximum chord) but the effect on hydrodynamic characteristics was quite different. The low fidelity analysis made the assumption that the wing cross-sectional shape profile did not change, although it could move and rotate. There was no significant change in the predicted hydrodynamic characteristics between the deformed and undeformed wing shapes. The contribution of the foam to the stiffness of the wing was not included in the low fidelity analysis as it was thought to be minor contributor due the much lower Young’s Modulus compared to the carbon fibre and fibre glass of the main wing structure. In contrast, the high fidelity method resulted in about a 15% reduction in lift and 6% in drag forces due to deformation of the wing cross-section profiles rather than bending and twisting of the wing which the low fidelity analysis showed not to be significant. The effect on energy yield of these changes is estimated to be very small.

Published: June 2023

The building sector is currently involved in a process of change as a result of concerns about the sustainability of the construction industry. For this reason, the application of circular economy criteria that are committed to the development of new, more sustainable construction materials has become one of the major challenges included in the European Green Pact. In this research, the physical and mechanical characterisation of a new plaster composite material with the incorporation of recycled rubber granular particles and glass wool waste fibres has been carried out. It has been possible to replace up to 30% of the original plaster material with recycled raw material, improving the thermal behaviour of the prefabricated plaster plates. In addition, good mechanical performance has been obtained and the weight of the precast elements has been reduced. Finally, using the FlexSim simulation software, different scenarios have been examined which have permitted to know the increases in productivity in the manufacturing process derived from the use of these lightened sustainable materials, as well as to verify the reduction in fuel consumption (litres/plate) and CO2 emissions during transport. For all these reasons, the application of circular economy criteria applied to waste management is fundamental to progress towards the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.

Key Words: circular economy, building/construction industry product innovation, sustainable prefabricated construction, efficiency, simulation.

Solitary fibrofolliculoma on the nasal septum: a case report
Authors: Chi Young Hoon , Woo Joo Young , Koh Tae Kyung , Koo Soo Kweon , Son Hyuni
Published: June 2023

Fibrofolliculoma is a benign, perifollicular, connective tissue tumor that usually arises in the form of multiple lesions; it is rarely seen as a solitary lesion. The lesions are clinically asymptomatic, 2 to 4 mm skin-colored, soft dome-shaped papules. Here, we report a patient who visited our hospital with a palpable lesion on the nasal septum. The lesion did not cause pain upon palpation, and nasal endoscopy confirmed an irregular wart-like lesion measuring 6 × 6 mm in the left anterior nasal septum near the columella. Other otolaryngology findings were normal, and there were no similar lesions in other parts of the body. None of the patient’s family members were known to have had such lesions. An excisional biopsy was performed on the mass for removal of the lesion, and histological examination confirmed the lesion as fibrofolliculoma. We report the first case of solitary fibrofolliculoma in the nasal septum in a healthy 62-year-old woman along with a review of the relevant literature.

Published: June 2023

The first decade of the 21st century in the study of yedoma marked by the widespread use of AMS radiocarbon dating on microinclusions extracted directly from the ice wedge. These studies, together with a detailed study of stable isotope composition, were carried out at Lomonosov Moscow State University (Yu. Vasil'chuk and A. Vasil'chuk) on yedoma sections of Western Siberia, the lower Kolyma, Central Yakutia, together with specialists in the radiocarbon dating: J. van der Plicht, J.-Ch. Kim, H. Jungner, L.Sulerzhitsky. Isotope study of Yedoma sections on the right bank of the Yenisei Bay was begun (A.Vasiliev, E.Gusev, I.Streletskaya and others). During this period, active isotope and radiocarbon studies of yedoma began by the participants of the Russian-German expedition (A.Andreev, A.Chizhov, A. Derevyagin, G.Grosse, H.-W.Hubberten, L. Schirrmeister, S. Wetterich etc.) in the Anzhu Islands, the Lena Delta, and Arctic coast of Western Yakutia. In Chukotka, yedoma was studied by researches of the Anadyr station (A.Kotov). Researchers from the University of Fairbanks (M.Kanevsky, Yu.Shur, H.French, M. Bray and others) continued to study the Fox Tunnel as well as northern Alaska yedoma. Radiocarbon dating, the study of mammoth fauna, and stable isotopes were started by Canadian scientists (C. Burn, D.Froese, G. Zazula and others) on the Yukon yedoma. The study of Paleolithic sites in the yedoma sections were started of the Yana River and the New Siberian Islands (V. Pitulko, E. Pavlova etc.)

This article is devoted to the analysis of the need to organize and implement measures of public control over the activities, acts and decisions of regional operators and owners of special accounts. The paper examines the role and place of the institution of public control in the system of legal guarantees for the implementation and protection of the constitutional principles of democracy and the participation of society in the management of state affairs. The necessity of including the activities, acts and decisions of regional operators and owners of special accounts that carry out work within the framework of the organization and functioning of capital repair funds in the Russian Federation into the objects of public control is substantiated. The article uses a number of methods of scientific research, in particular: analysis; synthesis; formal-logical; classification; comparative-legal; historical-legal; statistical; sociological, etc. The paper formalizes and explores the main problems that hinder the organization and implementation of public control measures in relation to the activities, acts and decisions of regional operators and owners of special accounts, due to the need for further development of legislation regulating both the institution of public control and the organization, as well as the activities of capital repair funds in Russia, regional operators and owners of special accounts. In this regard, the authors have developed and substantiated a system of measures to resolve these problems, including by making appropriate amendments and additions to the Constitution of the Russian Federation, the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, as well as legislation on public control in the Russian Federation.

The “Horizontal Y” shaped queuing model in which there is bulk infinite arrival of patients, but available M services are limited. The discrete flow of patients in the system is reduced in continuous flow and a diffusion equation is used. In terms of means and variances of inter-arrival time distribution, this process of the number of patients and the number of servers is used, imposing reflecting boundaries. The inspiration for this analysis came from Aradhye and Kallurkar [2], and Armony [3], who explained that hospitals are complex systems whose problems can be resolved utilizing queuing theory. The present paper deals with a double-ended queue in which patients wait in a queue for services. The discrete distribution equations for queue size with various cases have been derived. Finally, the expected length of the queue, i.e., LC and the expected finite server, i.e., LS have been derived.

The purpose of the present research is to perform a retrospective analysis of 242 ventricular shunts implanted in childhood due to infantile hydrocephalus, submitted to a long-term follow-up (27.84 ± 6.13 years) and investigate the factors influencing the survival of the shunt, applying modern mathematical approaches. The contingent consists of 242 patients who were shunted due to infantile hydrocephalus in childhood, 55% of whom were under 6 months old when the shunt was implanted. For the entire follow-up period, patients underwent 375 revisions (average 1.55 revisions per shunt), 38% are without shunt failure, with only one revision – 26%, with two – 14%. The remaining 22% have 3 or more revisions (4.58 shunt revisions) and they make 65% of all revisions. 68.5% of all revisions are due to mechanical complications; to functional (inadequate drainage) – 7.5%. 9.1% of the patients had inflammatory complications. We found that the age at shunting (under 3 months – the worst trend) and the interval to the first revision (over 6 months – a smaller number of revisions) are of the biggest importance for the number of the following revisions. If the patient survives one year after shunting without failure, the risk of such is under 50% during the whole shunt existence.

The aim of this paper was to investigate in detail the biomechanics of the knee during different static loadings on the spine using electromyographic (EMG) signals from six main surface muscles acting in the knee joint; three components of the ground reaction force measured by a force plate; knee flexion joint angle measured by a flexible goniometer; and the distances between the bones (femur and tibia) forming the knee joint measured by an echograph. The measurements were taken without weight (reference straight position) and with a weight of 2, 5, 10, 15, 17, and 20 kg placed in a rucksack on the spine. The results showed that the forces in the horizontal and sagittal planes were negligible, and the reaction in the frontal plane increased and was linearly dependent on the carrying weight. The distance between bones decreased linearly with increasing weight for all participants from 3.94% to 53.92% from the referent position. The knee angle varied and in many cases decreased with increasing weight. The calculated correlation coefficients between mean EMG signals and loading weight showed that the adjustment of different subjects’ musculature to increasing load is individual. In general, knee joint balance is a dynamic individual process.

The hippocampus is an archicortical structure, consisting of subfields with unique circuits. Understanding its microstructure, as proxied by these subfields, can improve our mechanistic understanding of learning and memory and has clinical potential for several neurological disorders. One prominent issue is how to parcellate, register, or retrieve homologous points between two hippocampi with grossly different morphologies. Here, we present a surface-based registration method that solves this issue in a contrast-agnostic, topology-preserving manner. Specifically, the entire hippocampus is first analytically unfolded, and then samples are registered in 2D unfolded space based on thickness, curvature, and gyrification. We demonstrate this method in seven 3D histology samples and show superior alignment with respect to subfields using this method over more conventional registration approaches.
Broca’s area, variation and taxic diversity in early Homo from Koobi Fora (Kenya)
Authors: Beaudet Amélie , de Jager Edwin
Published: June 2023

Because brain tissues rarely fossilize, pinpointing when and how modern human cerebral traits emerged in the hominin lineage is particularly challenging. The fragmentary nature of the fossil material, coupled with the difficulty of characterizing such a complex organ, has been the source of long-standing debates. Prominent among them are the uncertainties around the derived or primitive state of the brain organization in the earliest representatives of the genus Homo, more particularly in key regions such as the Broca’s area. By revisiting a particularly well-preserved fossil endocast from the Turkana basin (Kenya), here we confirm that early Homo in Africa had a primitive organization of the Broca’s area ca. 1.9 million years ago. Additionally, our description of KNM-ER 3732 adds further information about the variation pattern of the inferior frontal gyrus in fossil hominins, with implications for early Homo taxic diversity (i.e. one or two Homo species at Koobi Fora) and the nature of the mechanisms involved in the emergence of derived cerebral traits.
Judicialización y política urbana: Ciudadanos, políticos y jueces en la suspensión de Transmilenio por la Séptima en Bogotá.
Authors: Montero Sergio , Sotomayor Luisa
Published: June 2023

Este artículo analiza la suspensión del proyecto de transporte BRT Trans-milenio por la Carrera Séptima de Bogotá a través de demandas judiciales. Con base en 23 entrevistas y una revisión de documentos legales y judiciales, mostramos cómo la creciente judicialización de la planeación urbana en Bogotá está reconfigurando las formas de hacer política urbana, abriendo nuevas formas de incidir en decisiones de ciudad y empoderando a ciertos actores y discursos en la gobernanza urbana. En este caso, propietarios, ciudadanos educados de clase media y políticos lograron suspender el proyecto y defender sus intereses y visiones de ciudad a través de la movilización de conocimiento legal. El artículo concluye resaltando la necesidad de conceptualizar mejor las posibilidades y límites de la judicialización para democratizar la planeación y la política urbana, algo que no se ha tratado con la suficiente atención en los estudios urbanos latinoamericanos.
Circulación del concepto de Smart Cities en Chile: implicancias para nuevas formas de planificación urbana y gobernanza
Authors: Ulriksen Constanza
Published: June 2023

Si bien en Chile el concepto de Smart Cities (SC) ha atraído cada vez más la atención de la academia, así como de los sectores público y privado, surge la necesidad de comprender qué significa el término y qué implicancias está teniendo en las nuevas formas de gobernanza y planificación urbana. A partir del enfoque de movilidad de políticas, esta investigación busca responder cómo circulan las ideas propias del concepto de SC en Chile. Haciendo uso de métodos mixtos (etnografía de eventos y análisis de la red social Twitter), se muestra que el concepto circula por circuitos con gran participación de empresas privadas y liderado por instituciones públicas económicas vinculadas a los ámbitos de innovación y transformación digital. A diferencia de lo que afirman algunos autores, el concepto no se estaría posicionando como “un nuevo tipo de urbanismo” o una “nueva política urbana”, sino que representaría una narrativa urbana para el desarrollo de industrias tecnológicas en la ciudad.

Published: June 2023

O objetivo deste artigo é identificar o estado da arte sobre as pesquisas acerca da logística inteligente e de serviços inteligentes na logística. Com a finalidade de alcançar o objetivo proposto, foi utilizado o procedimento metodológico de revisão sistemática da literatura, seguindo o protocolo proposto por Pagiani, Kovaleski e Resende (2015), denominado Methodi Ordinatio. Com os resultados encontrados foi possível sintetizar o conhecimento acerca do tema, bem como apontar os principais autores, periódicos e países que realizam pesquisas concernentes às áreas supramencionadas. Ainda que os resultados apontem um crescimento nas pesquisas que abordem logística inteligente e serviços inteligentes na segunda metade da década de 2010, é possível inferir que existe necessidade de avançar em pesquisas nessa área, notadamente pelo fato de os dados mostrarem a capacidade de aplicação em diferentes campos da logística em particular, e na Gestão da Cadeia de Suprimentos, em geral.
R-Spondins and Wnt Signalling Pathway: A Periodontal Perspective
Authors: Savithri NK , Sangeetha S , Mary Jesintha , Gayathri PM
Published: June 2023

Periodontitis is a multifactorial chronic condition associated with the formation of a dysbiotic biofilm, leading to inflammation that can modulate cell signaling. R-spondins (Rspos) are cysteine-rich secreted glycoproteins which control a variety of functions which are essential for embryonic development and tissue homeostasis. Numerous studies have explained about their pivotal role in critical developmental regulators, the most important finding being Rspos synergise Wingless/Integration (Wnt) signaling. Novel receptors for Rspos, the Leucine-rich repeat containing G protein-coupled (LGR) receptors, proposed that Rspos potentiate canonical Wnt signaling via these receptors. Here, authors discussed about the Wnt signaling and outlined the biological role of Rspos in tissue development and homeostasis and explore the possibility that Rspos may be used as therapeutic targets. Wnt5a is important for promoting periodontal ligament remodeling and impairing regenerative responses modulated by the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, for alveolar bone formation.
Co-existence of Obstructive and Septic Shock in a Patient Identified by Point of Care Ultrasonography: A Case Report

Published: June 2023

Shock is a state of acute circulatory failure leading to decreased organ perfusion, inadequate delivery of oxygenated blood to tissues, and resultant end-organ dysfunction. A 45-year-old male patient a known case of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) presented to the Emergency Room (ER) with a complaint of fever for four days and shortness of breath for one day. The patient had a wound discharging pus over the dorsum of the right foot for two weeks following trauma. On examination, the patient’s vitals were: pulse rate-88 Beats Per Minute (bpm), respiratory rate-26 breaths per minute, SpO2 -78% room air, Blood Pressure (BP)-82/40 mmHg mean arterial pressure- 54 mmHg. As a protocol of shock evaluation, Point Of Care Ultrasonography (POCUS) showed a distended Inferior Vena Cava (IVC), dilated right atrium and ventricle, and good left ventricular systolic function. Given the presence of right leg swelling, ultrasound was done, which showed a thrombus in the popliteal vein. Noradrenaline infusion was started to maintain a mean arterial blood pressure of 70 mmHg. A diagnosis of obstructive shock due to pulmonary embolism was strongly suspected, and thrombolysis with injection streptokinase was done. After two hours of thrombolysis, Two-Dimensional (2D) Echocardiography (ECHO) revealed normal right atrium and ventricle size and IVC collapsibility index of 70%, but the patient’s blood pressure didn’t improve significantly. So, adequate intravenous fluid was given as per the septic shock protocol. But, the noradrenalin requirement didn't improve. The patient was put on broad-spectrum antibiotics. Blood culture showed growth of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. So, a diagnosis of co-existing septic shock with obstructive shock was made. The patient improved and discharged in stable condition. The present case report highlights the co-existence of septic shock and obstructive shock and the usefulness of POCUS in differentiating and managing various shocks.
