Introduction : La tuberculose est une maladie infectieuse à transmission interhumaine liée au bacille de koch (BK). Elle est l’une des pathologies infectieuses causant le plus de décès dans le monde. Notre objectif était de déterminer les aspects épidémiologiques, cliniques et évolutifs de la tuberculose au service de Médecine Interne de l’Hôpital National Donka.

Matériel et Méthodes : Il s’agissait d’une étude rétrospective de type descriptif portant sur les dossiers médicaux des patients au service de médecine interne (SMI) de l’hôpital national Donka sur une période d’étude allant de janvier 2017 à juin 2023. Nous avons inclus, tous les dossiers des patients âgés de plus de 15 ans durant la période d’étude et présentant les signes d’imprégnation tuberculeuse. Résultats : Durant la période d’étude 145 patients avec 81 (55,86 %) hommes et 64 (44,14 %) femmes ont été colligés. L’âge moyen de nos patients était de 44 ans avec une prédominance masculine soit un sex-ratio de 1,26. Soixante-quinze patients (51,72 %) étaient des patients infectés par le virus de l’immunodéficience humaine (VIH). La tuberculose était de localisation multifocale dans 69 (47,59 %) des cas, neuro-méningée chez 31 (21,38 %) des cas et pulmonaire dans 45 (31,03 %) des cas. La symptomatologie clinique était dominée par l’altération de l’état général et la fièvre chez tous nos patients, les vomissements chez 61 (42,07 %) patients. Les signes radiologiques les plus fréquents étaient les nodules pulmonaires (53,36 %) et les adénopathies profondes (36,42%). La tuberculose était confirmée par gène expert dans 38,27% des cas. L’intradermo-réaction à la tuberculine était positive dans 42 % des cas. L’évolution était favorable chez 68 % des patients, vers une aggravation dans 32 % des cas avec un taux de décès de 26%. Conclusion : La tuberculose demeure encore un problème de santé publique dans nos régions surtout depuis l’avènement du VIH/Sida. Cette affection concerne surtout les hommes dans notre contexte.

Authors: Tuğ Aida , Yıldırım Hasan
Published: March 2024

In this study, the reproductive capacity of endemic Jurinea cadmea subspecies, J. cadmea subsp. cadmea, and J. cadmea subsp. nifensis was investigated, focusing on pollen, stigma, seed viability, and seed germination. Plant materials were collected from natural populations in Western Anatolia (Nif Mountain, Bozdağ, Babadağ and Muğla Oyuklu Mountain) between 2017 and 2020. The tests employed in this study included the MTT (2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide-thiazolyl blue) test for pollen viability, the Peroxide test for stigma viability, the TTC (2,3,5-triphenyl tetrazolium chloride) test for seed viability, and seed germination tests under different conditions, with and without pre-treatment (wet-cold stratification). The study revealed high viability of mature pollen, stigma, and seeds, indicating successful reproductive capacity. Seed germination experiments showed that most populations exhibited high germination rates in light conditions. After 30 days of stratification, seeds showed very low germination in light and dark conditions, but after 60 days at 4⁰C, Nif Mountain, Bozdağ, and Muğla Mountain (short) populations exhibited germination rates above 80%. However, Babadağ population showed low seed germination in light and dark conditions. This study has significantly contributed to our understanding of the reproductive biology of both subspecies.

The objective of this study was to determine the frequency and factors leading to emergency peripartum hysterectomy in pregnant women at a tertiary care hospital in Karachi. This cross-sectional study was conducted at the Department of Gynaecology & Obstetrics JPMC, Karachi, Pakistan, from August 11, 2021, to February 10, 2022. All patients who met the inclusion criteria and visited JPMC, Karachi, were included in the study after obtaining consent. The study noted the factors leading to the development of emergency peripartum hysterectomy, and patients were followed by the researcher for the development of this condition. All collected data were entered into a proforma and used electronically for research. The mean maternal age was 30.04±3.87 years. Emergency peripartum hysterectomy was found in 25 (14.9%) women. The factors leading to peripartum hysterectomy were noted as placenta accreta in 5 (20.0%) women, placenta increta in 3 (12.0%) women, and placenta percreta in 17 (68.0%) women. It can be concluded that peripartum hysterectomy is prevalent in pregnant women, with placenta percreta being the common factor leading to peripartum hysterectomy, followed by placenta accreta. Further large-scale work is recommended for the validation of the current findings.

With the application of remote education due to the pandemic, Ecuadorian teachers contextualized the curriculum to the needs of their students. The objective was to analyse emerging dialogue patterns during the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on teachers’ experiences and stories about their interaction with their students. The research was qualitative in which the method of indirect observation of the transcription of 73 semi-structured interviews with teachers from educational institutions in Ecuador was applied through the Zoom platform. To analyze the results, they were categorized and conceptualized following the triple pattern of dialogue and discourse proposed by Mehan in its three dimensions: initiation, response and evaluation. Three phases were established: construction of the final indirect observation instrument; quality control of the information so that there is no subjectivity through the agreement of the criteria of three research authors; and the interpretation of indirect observation through contextualization by curricular contents, methodological strategies and didactic resources. It is revealed that teachers demonstrated remarkable adaptation during the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on emotional containment and creativity.
The difference in the world perception between a hysteric and a neurotic
Authors: Spytska Liana
Published: March 2024

The research significance is determined by the necessity to gain a more profound comprehension of the influence of mental disorders on an individual's perspective of the world. The research intends to conduct an empirical study to identify and compare the levels of personal indicators of world perception in individuals with hysterical and neurotic disorders. The methodology employed in investigating this issue involved surveying participants, which gathered data on the psychological condition and perception of the environment among the individuals involved in the study (n=62). The study employed various methods of scientific inquiry, including system analysis, comparison method, logical analysis, classification, synthesis, and deduction, in addition to conducting interviews with the respondents. It defines the terms “neurotic” and “hysteria”, describes the causes and consequences of an unstable emotional state, determines the connection between an unstable emotional state and neurotic and hysterical personality disorders, uncovers potential physiological causes for the development of these disorders, lists and describes physiological and sociocultural factors that shape a person's worldview, and explores personal factors that influence. The research materials possess practical significance as they provide empirical evidence of the impact of hysterical and neurotic personality disorders on an individual's perspective of the world.

Published: March 2024

We aimed to gain insight into student experiences of simulation-based education (SBE), particularly in regards to (1) current provision of SBE, (2) learning opportunities and (3) areas for improvements, innovation and focused initiatives. This was to create focussed initiatives that can assess and address specific needs to improve SBE for learners and educators alike.

Medical students were surveyed with 41 questions on their experiences of SBE using an 11-point Likert scale (0 – strongly disagree, 10 – strongly agree). Results were analysed by individual questions and presented as median (interquartile range) or percentage (

246 students participated, with 76.0% (187/246) completing all questions. 99.2% of students (235/237) had participated in SBE. The most valuable elements of SBE were learning a new skill under supervision (90.3%, 187/207), applying prior knowledge to a clinical scenario (73.4%, 152/187) and identifying gaps in knowledge/skill (73.4%, 152/187). Simulation was thought to improve medical knowledge (95.2%, 218/229) and technical skills (87.3%, 200/229). Twenty-one per cent (41/197) of students reported a negative experience and 23.5% (48/204) felt anxious. Students strongly agreed that simulation was beneficial to their training (9 [8–10]) and that there should be more SBE (8.5 [8–10]).

Medical students find SBE accessible and valuable to their education. By analysing student perspectives (such as self-reported negative experience), targeted areas for further research and focussed initiatives can be implemented.

Authors: Sugumaran Divya , Mahadevan Abirami , Sivalingam Kalpana
Published: March 2024

Background:
Glomangiomyoma is a rare histological variant of glomus tumour. Clinically, it was referred to as enlarged cervical lymph node and is challenging to diagnose. Only one case was reported in the neck of a child so far in the literature.
Case summary:
A 10 year old girl presented with the complaints of painful progressive neck swelling in the left side for two and half year. Sonography and Contrast enhanced CT neck suggested a slow flow vascular malformation and fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) was inconclusive, demonstrating only a few blood cells. The mass was removed in toto under general anaesthesia without postoperative complications. The histopathology confirmed it to be glomangiomyoma
Conclusion:
It is an extremely rare variant of glomus tumour and only one case of a Glomangiomyoma reported in the neck of a child. Although it is a rare occurrence, when encountering a subcutaneous mass that initially appears a venous malformation but exhibits pain, consideration should be given to glomus tumours or related conditions.
A simple long term storage solution for human tissues as continuous source of DNA/RNA for PCR analysis
Authors: Bhatia Sudhir
Published: March 2024

Aim: In molecular biology, there is a need for tissue storage solutions for long term analysis in order to have a suitable source of nucleic acids (RNA and DNA). There are many reports to store the tissue samples in different solutions like ethanol, DMSO as well as with storage in liquid nitrogen, but a suitable storage solution for tissue at room temperature is still missing. Therefore, a solution called Genekam Tissue Storage Solution (GTSS) is developed, which can be used to store the tissues at room temperature for a long time.
Materials and Methods: Human tissues were stored in this solution for 4 years. as these are tested with conventional and real time PCR for the presence of internal controls after the isolation of RNA and DNA over the period of 4 years, along with spectrometric testing.
Results: Results of internal controls for human housekeeping genes like beta-globin and beta-actin were successful in nucleic acid isolations. Spectrophotometric values of all nucleic acid isolation range from 1.03 to 33.8 ng/µl (1.03 to 33.8 µg/ml).
Conclusion: In this work, it may be the first time about the successful development of a simple long-term noncryogenic storage solution for human tissues at room temperature as a continuous source of DNA and RNA for molecular biological analysis.

Published: March 2024

Background:
Inflammation caused by Opisthorchis viverrini infection increases the risk of cholangitis, cholecystitis, and lead to bile duct cancer (cholangiocarcinoma or CCA). However, only certain infected individuals are susceptible to CCA, suggesting the involvement of host factors in cancer development. Additionally, there are reports indicating differences in the locations CCA.
Aim:
This study aims to investigate cellular inflammatory responses in the common bile duct (CB), intrahepatic bile duct (IHB), and gallbladder (GB) in susceptible and non-susceptible hosts following O. viverrini infection.
Methods:
Thirty Syrian golden hamsters (a susceptible host) and 30 BALB/c mice (a non-susceptible host) infected with O. viverrini were studied at 6 time points (5 animals per group). Histopathological evaluations were conducted on samples from the IHB, CB, and GB. Inflammatory cell infiltration was quantitatively assessed and compared between groups and time points. Statistical analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA, with a significance level of p<0.05.
Results:
Inflammation was significantly more pronounced in the IHB compared to the other 2 biliary locations. Comparison between susceptible and non-susceptible hosts, the intensity of inflammation was higher in the OV+H group than in the OV+M group (p<0.05).
Conclusion:
This study highlights the association between host response to inflammation, tissue location and host susceptibility, with the IHB showing particular susceptibility to inflammation and pathological changes. These findings contribute to our understanding of the increased risk of CCA in susceptible hosts.

Authors: Khadim Massar , Zaid Nazih
Published: March 2024

Background:
Fertility plays great role in animal reproduction since high quality semen improves sheep industry reproduction. The current worldwide data revealed the closely related of CNP to reproductive function of rams.
Aims:
Evaluation the effect of CNP on cooled sperms using the traditional and molecular assays.
Methods:
Totally, 20 testicular samples were collected, processed to obtain the semen samples and divided into two parts; one treated with the suitable dose of CNP and the otherserved as a control. Sperm samples of both groups were cooled for 3 days and tested at 0 0h, 24h, 48h and 72h.
Results:
The findings revealed that the suitable dose of CNP-treated sperms was 0.0110-13. Values individual motility, live sperms and sperm concentration were reduced significantly in CNP-24h, CNP-48h and CNP-72h when compared to control; however, abnormal sperms were increased in both control and CNP groups at 24h, 48h and 72h when compared to values of 0h. Concerning turbidmetric analysis, significant reduction in values of lag time was observed in CNP when compared to control at all times of cooling intervals. In both CNP and control groups, motility index was decreased at 24h, 48h and 72h when compared to 0h. For velocity, significant increases were showed in CNP compared with control at all cooling intervals. However, values of both groups were increased significantly at 24h, 48h and 72h times when compared to 0h. FRMS of CNP was elevated at 0h and decreased at 24h, 48h and 72h when compared to control. Expression of hNPR-B gene was reduced gradually in sperms of CNP and control groups at times of cooling intervals.
Conclusion:
For our knowledge, this first Iraqi study targets the effect of CNP on epididymal sperms of rams. However, changes occur after excessive CNP exposure remains unclear, and toxicological profile of CNP required furthermore supplements.
Suppressive effect of Yokukansan on glutamate released from canine keratinocytes
Authors: Kasuga Yoichiro , Hu Ailing , Kawakami Zenji , Tabuchi Masahiro , Yamaguchi Takuji , Kobayashi Hiroyuki , Ikeda Shigaku
Published: March 2024

Background:
Canine atopic dermatitis (CAD) is caused by skin barrier dysfunction due to allergen exposure. Excessive glutamate release in the skin is associated with delayed skin barrier function recovery and epidermal thickening and lichenification. Treatment with Yokukansan (YKS), a traditional Japanese medicine, reduces dermatitis severity and scratching behavior in NC/Nga mice by decreasing epidermal glutamate levels. However, the association between canine keratinocytes and glutamate and the mechanism by which YKS inhibits glutamate release from keratinocytes remains unknown.
Aim:
We aimed to investigate glutamate release from canine progenitor epidermal keratinocytes (CPEKs) and the inhibitory effect of YKS on this release. We also explored the underlying mechanism of YKS to enable its application in CAD treatment.
Methods:
Glutamate produced from CPEKs in the medium at 24 h was measured. The measurement conditions varied in terms of cell density and YKS concentration. CPEKs were treated with a glutamate receptor antagonist (MK-801), a glutamate transporter antagonist (THA), and a glutamate dehydrogenase inhibitor (epigallocatechin gallate; EGCG), and the inhibitory effect of YKS, YKS + THA, MK-801, and EGCG on this release was determined. MK-801 and glutamate dehydrogenase inhibitor were tested alone, and THA was tested in combination with YKS. Finally, glutamine incorporated into CPEKs at 24 h was measured using radioisotope labeling.
Results:
CPEKs released glutamate in a cell density-dependent manner, inhibited by YKS in a concentration-dependent manner. Moreover, YKS reduced the intracellular uptake of radioisotope-labeled glutamine in a concentration-dependent manner. No involvement of glutamate receptor antagonism or activation of glutamate transporters was found, as suggested by previous studies. Additionally, EGCG could inhibit glutamate release from CPEKs.
Conclusion:
Our findings indicated that glutamate release from CPEKs could be effectively inhibited by YKS, suggesting the utility of YKS in maintaining skin barrier function during CAD. Additionally, CPEKs are appropriate for analyzing the mechanism of YKS. However, we found that the mechanism of action of YKS differs from that reported in previous studies, suggesting that it may have had a similar effect to EGCG in this study. Further research is warranted to understand the exact mechanism and clinical efficacy in treating CAD.

A Caracterização morfométrica auxilia o estudo do comportamento da bacia hidrográfica, principalmente no aspecto envolvendo riscos de processo erosivo relacionado a enchentes. O presente estudo teve como objetivo caracterizar a morfometria das microbacias Água do Jaú e Água da Ema, localizadas no município de Rolândia – PR, utilizando software AutoCad como ferramenta de digitalização e quantificação de canais e carta planialtimétrica folha de Arapongas como base cartográfica.  Encontram-se entre as seguintes coordenadas UTM: 7414000 a 7428000 Km N e 448000 a 456000 Km E, com uma área total de 5.081 ha. Os resultados demonstram microbacias de 2a ordem de ramificação de canais e baixa densidade de drenagem. O índice de conformação, fator de forma e o coeficiente de compacidade indicam formato alongado. O índice de sinuosidade indica tendência a canais retilíneos. A declividade média das microbacias classificou o relevo como ondulado. Os parâmetros dimensionais juntamente com os índices morfométricos relacionados a forma, relevo e de composição e padrão da rede de drenagem permitiram inferir que as áreas de estudo apresentam baixa susceptibilidade a enchentes e riscos de erosões, refletindo tendência a conservação dos solos e dos recursos hídricos.
Modelos psicológicos y antropológicos de la comunicación en los pequeños grupos
Authors: Roiz Célix Miguel
Published: March 2024

Se revisan conceptos teóricos relativos a la comunicación interpersonal y a la comunicación en pequeños grupos., y las diferencias entre estos dos tipos de comunicación son sometidas a discusión. Se elabora un modelo general que asume la comunicación interpersonal como parte de la comunicación de grupo, habida cuenta de que toda comunicación entre dos o más personas tiene siempre como referencia el contexto grupal (sistema de valores, estructura de poder, normas, etc.). Se discuten algunos modelos de comunicación interpersonal y de comunicación entre pequeños grupos, entre los que se incluyen los enfoques interaccionistas, sistémicos y antropológico-culturales. Se evalúan los posibles efectos de las innovaciones en tecnología de las comunicaciones sobre la interacción en pequeños grupos. Se revisan las consideraciones de R. E. Rice relativas al empleo de canales artificiales y naturales en la comunicación entre pequeños grupos (por ejemplo, véase Rice, R. E., Williams, F., ?Theories Old and New: The Study of New Media?, in The New Media: Communication Research and Technologie, Beverly Hills: Sage, 1984).
La medida de la incidencia, prevalencia y problemas causados por drogas ilegales
Authors: Comas Arnau Domingo
Published: March 2024

Una revisión de la literatura reciente sobre problemas relacionados con el uso de drogas en Europa y Estados Unidos, enfocados en modelos de investigación de las ciencias sociales así como también concernientes a estudios medico-biológicos y antropológicos. Se discute la dicotomía entre la aproximación de investigación ?liberal? y la ?moralista?. Los métodos de muestreo y análisis se investigan al detalle, especialmente los sistemas de notificación e información sobre uso de drogas y la construcción de indicadores y modelos matemáticos para el análisis. Se evalúan las diversas metodologías considerando el coste y facilitando algunas sugerencias para introducir un acercamiento investigador combinando diferentes técnicas.
Consolidación democrática. Definición, modelos, hipótesis
Authors: Morlino Leonardo
Published: March 2024

El concepto de consolidación democrática es definido y analizado, en referencia a los aspectos de transición, instauración, y persistencia en las dinámicas de la democracia, y comparadas con conceptos similares, como, estructuración, encapsulamiento e institucionalización. Se describen las diferentes formas y niveles de consolidación y se quedan identificadas las características empíricas comunes que han tenido lugar más frecuentemente en procesos de consolidación democrática. Basándose en dicho análisis, se presentan dos modelos principales de consolidación: consolidación a través de partidos políticos y consolidación política. Se presenta una tentativa para explicar los procesos de consolidación y sus resultados en aquellos países del Este de Europa y América Latina donde tuvieron lugar. Se proponen y documentan diversas hipótesis relativas a la influencia de varios factores políticos en el proceso.
La teoría orteguiana de la acción social
Authors: Pellicani Luciano
Published: March 2024

Una Discusión de la teoría sociológica de José Ortiga y Gasset es introducida mediante una breve revisión de las ideas de Kart Popper, Carl Menger Emile Durkheim, Max Weber, y otros, que han influido a Ortega o han sido objeto de su crítica o reacción en contra. Ortega era consciente del misterio central: esto es, la naturaleza de lo social. Resalta así mismo, que el hombre posee una herencia tanto biológica como cultural. Ortega considera lo social como una edificación simbólica construida de normas comportamentales, de las cuales los individuos son prisioneros, y sus tendencias llegan a ser deshumanizantes y alienantes. A pesar de todo, ello es necesario como principio de continuidad, que permite avanzar a la sociedad, aunque con dolorosa lentitud.
Estudio sociológico sobre la ruptura matrimonial en Madrid capital (1981-84)
Authors: Borrajo Iniesta Santiago
Published: March 2024

Se analiza la estadística sobre divorcio en España (1981-1984), poniendo particular atención en su capital, Madrid. Los factores examinados incluyen la duración del matrimonio, la edad de los miembros de la pareja en la unión y en el divorcio, y el número de niños. Se observa que, puesto que el divorcio en España es legal desde hace poco tiempo, cierto efecto de acumulación, es decir, parejas que ya se habían separado anteriormente ahora están obteniendo divorcios legales. También se trata brevemente un estudio de 1978 de actitudes con respecto al divorcio.
La política social en el estado de bienestar: el desafío de los sistemas complejos
Authors: Lucas Marín Antonio , Donati Pier Paolo
Published: March 2024

Es incorrecto asumir que la actual crisis en los medios del estado de bienestar supone también una crisis estructural en la política social; la política social en la sociedad postindustrial debe ser distinguida, estructural y culturalmente, del estado de bienestar. Así, se discuten la naturaleza de la ciudadanía y de los valores en la sociedad post-industrial. Los sistemas sociales post-industriales se caracterizan por la complejidad y la diferenciación social. Las tendencias actuales van hacia la desregulación, la descentralización, y la privatización. Se hace necesario entender un nuevo marco conceptual para estos procesos sociales complejos; el articulo hace una tentativa para definir ese marco basándose en el interaccionismo simbólico Talcott Parsons y Niklas Luhmann.
Movilidad social y cambio social en España
Authors: Rodríguez Menes Jorge
Published: March 2024

Esta investigación analiza las tendencias de movilidad social en España en los últimos cincuenta años y su relación con los cambios estructurales en la sociedad desde el modelo de ?logro de estatus?. El modelo incluye la educación y primera ocupación del hijo, la educación y ocupación del padre cuando el hijo tenía dieciséis años y cohortes de entrada del hijo en el mercado de trabajo. A partir de análisis de regresión múltiple sobre datos de 4342 españoles pertenecientes a una encuesta llevada a cabo en 1988 por el Centro de Investigaciones Sociológicas, se pone de manifiesto que a lo largo del tiempo (un índice de modernización), al aumentar las oportunidades educacionales de los españoles así como sus oportunidades ocupacionales iniciales, se debilitaron los procesos de transmisión intergeneracional de estatus: es decir, disminuyeron los efectos directos e indirectos de la educación y ocupación del padre sobre la primera ocupación del hijo. La modernización también reforzó la relación entre los logros educacionales de los españoles y las recompensas ocupacionales.
