Published: June 2024

Several recent studies have investigated the use of hypofractionated radiotherapy (HFRT) for various cancers. However, HFRT for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with or without concurrent chemotherapy is not yet widely used because of concerns about serious side effects and the lack of evidence for improved treatment results. Investigations of HFRT with concurrent chemotherapy in NSCLC have usually been performed in single-arm studies and with a small number of patients, so there are not yet sufficient data. Therefore, the Korean Society for Radiation Oncology Practice Guidelines Committee planned this review article to summarize the evidence on HFRT so far and provide it to radiation oncology clinicians. In summary, HFRT has demonstrated promising results, and the reviewed data support its feasibility and comparable efficacy for the treatment of locally advanced NSCLC. The incidence and severity of esophageal toxicity have been identified as major concerns, particularly when treating large fraction sizes. Strategies, such as esophagus-sparing techniques, image guidance, and dose constraints, may help mitigate this problem and improve treatment tolerability. Continued research and clinical trials are essential to refine treatment strategies, identify optimal patient selection criteria, and enhance therapeutic outcomes.
Intangibilité des frontières versus droit à l’autodétermination
Authors: Dumont Gérard-François
Published: June 2024

Au cours de l’histoire contemporaine, le processus d’élaboration d’un droit international a consacré deux principes : celui du droit des peuples à disposer d’eux-mêmes a été inscrit dans la Charte de l’ONU de 1945, tandis que celui de l’intangibilité des frontières a été affirmé par la jurisprudence internationale et mis en œuvre lors de grands soubresauts géopolitiques (décolonisation, implosion des régimes communistes, accords mettant fin aux guerres de l’ex-Yougoslavie…). Toutefois, ces deux principes sont appliqués à géométrie variable, notamment parce qu’ils s’avèrent contradictoires. L’exemple du Caucase du Sud, avec l’évolution du conflit concernant le Haut-Karabagh, et en conséquence l’Arménie et l’Azerbaïdjan, permet d’illustrer tout particulièrement les questions géopolitiques passées, actuelles et futures que posent ces deux principes.

L’adaptation sociale dépend en grande partie du développement des capacités en théorie de l’esprit. Comprendre les états internes d’autrui comme pouvant être différents des siens, concevoir et prendre en compte une pluralité de points de vue permettent de comprendre et d’anticiper les comportements interhumains afin de s’ajuster dans les interactions sociales réciproques. Un déficit dans ces aptitudes signe comme dans l’autisme des difficultés communicationnelles plus ou moins importantes.

Youth Gun Violence
Authors: Harries Michael
Published: June 2024

Gun violence is a rapidly growing concern for youth. As rates of death by firearm rise, so does exposure to firearm violence and high levels of accompanying morbidity. Although gun violence cannot be attributed to any one cause, it is important pediatric health care providers understand the prevalence of this issue. Additionally, the long-term health effects are profound with many victims of, and witnesses to, gun violence experiencing new symptoms of general anxiety disorder. There are numerous initiatives taking place at the individual, local, and national levels to address this public health crisis. An overview of such interventions is also presented. With better screening and treatment of upstream and downstream symptoms of youth gun violence, pediatricians can decrease the morbidity and mortality that results from firearm use.

Bronchiolitis: Safely Doing Less Is the Next Big Thing
Authors: Weis Amy , Hailey Claire
Published: June 2024

Bronchiolitis is a viral lower respiratory tract infection primarily affecting children younger than 2 years; a common cause of health care encounters, including hospitalization; and a considerable economic burden for health care systems in the United States and worldwide. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) most recently updated its bronchiolitis guideline in 2014 and reaffirmed supportive care as the mainstay of treatment. Despite these recommendations, there is still significant variability in care provided for these children, especially in bronchodilator usage, radiography, and high-flow nasal cannula. Since the 2014 AAP guideline, many pediatric hospitalists have undertaken quality initiatives to improve the adherence to published guidelines, yet a large gap remains between what is recommended and what is practiced. This article presents research on the efficacy of common interventions as well as an introduction to diagnostics and treatments potentially on the horizon.

Published: June 2024

The purpose of this review is to summarize the current evidence regarding the management of streptococcal pharyngitis in children. This article aims to provide a valid support to discriminate streptococcal pharyngitis from viral cases and treat it appropriately to avoid the development of complications. Differential diagnosis based only on clinical features is not always easy. For this reason, different clinical scores were created to provide an accurate diagnosis. Microbiological tests are valuable tools as well, but their use is not recommended unanimously. Concerning treatment, all guidelines agree on the drug to be used. However, doubts remain about the optimal duration of antibiotic therapy, especially in this specific historical moment as we are experiencing a peak in streptococcal infections.

Infinite Population Models and Random Drift
Authors: Abrams Marshall
Published: June 2024

Philosophers of science sometimes seem to imply that there are evolutionary models in which a counterfactual infinite population of organisms plays a crucial role. As is sometimes noted, this idea is incoherent if “infinite population” is understood literally. This paper uses case studies of modeling in evolutionary biology to examine roles that “infinite population”, and assumptions about random drift, play in modeling practices. Sometimes various effects of the absence of drift are understood as having to do with limits as population size goes toward infinity; in other cases these effects are conceptualized as having to do with large population sizes. Some models make assumptions about population size and effects of drift that might seem inconsistent: in some cases drift is included in part of a model, but excluded in another, or excluded even though population size is treated as finite. Because of such facts, I argue that there is no fixed set of assumptions associated with drift or its absence, and that there is no clear meaning for “infinite population” and similar terms. Rather “infinite population” is figurative language that is merely associated with various assumptions about the absence of drift.
Cinéma et imaginaire topographique

Published: June 2024

Définir les contours d’un « imaginaire topographique » qui préside aux modalités de descriptions de lieux au sein d’une multitude de productions culturelles : telle est l’ambition de cet ouvrage. À travers l’analyse de trois œuvres considérées comme des jalons dans le développement de cet imaginaire, celles de John Ford, de Jean-Marie Straub et Danièle Huillet et de Tariq Teguia, l’objectif est de saisir la façon dont les cinéastes s’inscrivent dans certaines traditions iconographiques liées aux représentations topographiques, tout en inventant de nouvelles images des lieux qu’ils enregistrent. La prise en compte de ces lieux ainsi que de la longue durée dans les analyses de films permet de porter un regard nouveau sur des œuvres déjà connues et de saisir leurs relations avec des films plus contemporains, à travers un problème d’image spécifique, celui de l’invention de lieux proprement filmiques.
Le rapport entre les proverbes et la littérature catalane contemporaine : un exemple chez Carner
Authors: Dasca Maria
Published: June 2024

Difficilement repérables dans certaines expressions de la littérature catalane contemporaine, les formes simples (einfache Formen, selon André Jolles) sont à l’origine de certaines créations humoristiques ou didactiques qui ont suscité l’intérêt d’ethnologues et d’écrivains. Un exemple est celui du poète Josep Carner, qui recueillera, tout au long de sa vie, un ensemble assez riche de proverbes. À la base de ses recherches, on voit l’importance qu’il a porté à ce sous-genre qui partage plusieurs caractéristiques avec la poésie (la subtilité, la brièveté ou son caractère révélateur d’une pensée morale ou d’une vérité cachée).

Authors: Alduaij Alwaleed , Sundaram Hariharan
Published: June 2024

Materials are a core part of the development in mechanical turbines, where there is always potential for life-improvement. The demand for alloys with durability, low cost, and long service cycles are evergreen. The materials used in turbomachinery must have excellent resistance to thermal fatigue, as well as high temperature oxidation and corrosion resistance. Good creep resistance is also an important consideration, especially for large blades and multi-airfoil latter stage nozzles. Development of new alloy compositions and material characterization plays a critical role in advanced machinery evolution. In this work, some of the available characterization methods are applied to analyze and study the effect of heat treatment, service effect and aging on alloys.

Published: June 2024

ABSTRACT

Background:

Fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) are commonly used in prosthodontics to restore missing teeth and improve oral function and esthetics. The selection of prosthodontic materials significantly impacts the fracture resistance of FDPs, thus influencing their clinical success. This study aimed to assess the fracture resistance of different prosthodontic materials commonly used in FDPs through in vitro testing.

Materials and Methods:

Thirty standardized FDP specimens were fabricated using three different materials: Monolithic zirconia, heat press lithium disilicate, and metal ceramic. Each group consisted of ten specimens. The specimens were subjected to standardized loading using a universal testing machine until fracture occurred. Fracture resistance values were recorded in Newtons (N) and statistically analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by post-hoc Tukey tests.

Results:

The mean fracture resistance values for the three materials were as follows: zirconia, 1450 N; lithium disilicate, 1200 N; and metal ceramic, 950 N. Statistical analysis revealed a significant difference among the groups (P < 0.05). Post hoc Tukey tests indicated that zirconia exhibited significantly higher fracture resistance compared to lithium disilicate and metal ceramic (P < 0.05). However, there was no significant difference in fracture resistance between lithium disilicate and metal-ceramic groups (P > 0.05).

Conclusion:

Within the limitations of this in vitro study, zirconia demonstrated the highest fracture resistance among the tested materials for FDPs, followed by lithium disilicate and metal ceramic. The findings highlight the importance of material selection in achieving optimal clinical outcomes and longevity of fixed dental prostheses.

Pathological mechanism of immune disorders in diabetic kidney disease and intervention strategies
Authors: Zhou Tong , Fang Yi-Lin , Tian Tian-Tian , Wang Gui-Xia
Published: June 2024

Diabetic kidney disease is one of the most severe chronic microvascular complications of diabetes and a primary cause of end-stage renal disease. Clinical studies have shown that renal inflammation is a key factor determining kidney damage during diabetes. With the development of immunological technology, many studies have shown that diabetic nephropathy is an immune complex disease, and that most patients have immune dysfunction. However, the immune response associated with diabetic nephropathy and autoimmune kidney disease, or caused by ischemia or infection with acute renal injury, is different, and has a com-plicated pathological mechanism. In this review, we discuss the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy in immune disorders and the intervention mechanism, to provide guidance and advice for early intervention and treatment of diabetic nephropathy.

Published: June 2024

Diabetes is a heterogeneous metabolic disease characterized by elevated blood glucose levels resulting from the destruction or malfunction of pancreatic β cells, insulin resistance in peripheral tissues, or both, and results in a non-sufficient production of insulin. To adjust blood glucose levels, diabetic patients need exogenous insulin administration together with medical nutrition therapy and physical activity. With the aim of improving insulin availability in diabetic patients as well as ameliorating diabetes comorbidities, different strategies have been investigated. The first approaches included enhancing endogenous β cell activity or transplanting new islets. The protocol for this kind of intervention has recently been optimized, leading to standardized procedures. It is indicated for diabetic patients with severe hypoglycemia, complicated by impaired hypoglycemia awareness or exacerbated glycemic lability. Transplantation has been associated with improvement in all comorbidities associated with diabetes, quality of life, and survival. However, different trials are ongoing to further improve the beneficial effects of transplantation. Furthermore, to overcome some limitations associated with the availability of islets/pancreas, alternative therapeutic strategies are under evaluation, such as the use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) or induced pluripotent stem cells for transplantation. The cotransplantation of MSCs with islets has been successful, thus providing protection against proinflammatory cytokines and hypoxia through different mechanisms, including exosome release. The use of induced pluripotent stem cells is recent and requires further investigation. The advantages of MSC implantation have also included the improvement of diabetes-related comorbidities, such as wound healing. Despite the number of advantages of the direct injection of MSCs, new strategies involving biomaterials and scaffolds have been developed to improve the efficacy of mesenchymal cell delivery with promising results. In conclusion, this paper offered an overview of new alternative strategies for diabetes management while highlighting some limitations that will need to be overcome by future approaches.
Determination of hallucinogenic active substances of Ephedra distachya L., a cosmopolitan plant species, by GC-MS Method
Authors: Uysal Handan , İnce Mehmet
Published: June 2024

Hallucinogens are defined as substances that, when used, distract the person from the real world and direct them to utopian thoughts. In people who use these substances, time and space become unimportant, and thought, perception and sensory disorders are observed. Prime examples of hallucinogens are marijuana, phencyclidine, lysergic acid diethylamide, and psilocybin. All these addictive substances affect vital organs such as the central nervous system, liver and kidneys, and also cause many fatal diseases such as tuberculosis, cancer and gangrene. This study was carried out to draw attention to the Ephedraceae family, which is used constantly throughout the day because it makes people feel good, is cosmopolitan and grows easily and everywhere, and its use is not prohibited. Especially the above-ground parts of Ephedra distachya L. such as stem, seeds and flowers are used among the public. For this reason, methanol and water extracts of these dried and powdered parts were prepared and evaluated for all chemical components by GC-MS method. According to the GC-MS data obtained, hallucinogenic active ingredients were found only in both extracts of the body part. In addition, determining the potential active substances of herbal extracts is very important for both public health and criminal perspective.

Frozen shoulder is a clinical syndrome char-acterized by painful restriction of both active and passive shoulder movements due to abnormalities within the shoulder joint or remote. Prevalence of this disease is around 2.1 - 5% and women suffer more than men be-tween age group of 40-60 years .According to Ayurvedic principles, frozen shoulder can be taken as“Avabahuka”(Frozen shoulder), as its clinical features are almost similar. Ayurvedic principles of manage-ment for these diseases are more effective than other pathies . In modern medicine the current management has many side effects and having success rate of 58% only.Even on surgical decompression recurrence is also there. Aim:- To determine the effect of Masha Taila(oil) and physiotherapy in the management of Avabahuka w.s.r.to Frozen Shoulder.

AN AMELIORATIVE STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE (S.O.P) OF DIURETIC AYURVEDIC DRUG TANKANA (BORAX) PURIFICATION
Authors: Ballav Sourav , Maity Gouranga
Published: June 2024

Background- Purified Tankana (Borax) is widely used in daily clinical practice. Tankana (Borax) is also known for its forced diuretic action, antidotal activity against schedule “E” irritant poison and as a chelating agent against heavy metal poisoning. 500 gm unpurified Tankana (Borax) was collected from the West Bengal (India) local market and identified as a raw product. Then Tankana (Borax) authenticated critical macroscopic and or-ganoleptic study and analysis at Sri Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara College of Ayurveda Pharmacy, Hassan, Karnataka (India). Tankana Sodhan was done in the Department of Rasa Shastra, Sri Dharmasthala Manju-natheshwara College of Ayurveda, Hassan, Karnataka (India). Authentication Reference-SDMCAH/MD (Ayu)/SINO-03/2017. Tankana (Borax) purification is done with the help of Standard Operating Procedure.
Our study aimed to present a unique and ameliorative approach to the standard purification process of Tankana (Borax). This approach, detailed in our research, offers a new perspective on the purification of Tankana (Borax) and its implications in Ayurvedic medicine.
Observation and Result—The purification process significantly impacted the properties of Tankana (Borax). Af-ter the process, Tankana (Borax) lost 50% of its total weight. This study revealed that we obtained 250gm of purified Tankana (Borax) out of the initial 500gm of unpurified Tankana (Borax). This finding underscores the transformative effect of the purification process on the substance.
Conclusion—The purification process is genuinely transformative for Tankana (Borax). The crystalline, unpuri-fied raw product changes remarkably into a puffy white powder. This process results in a significant weight loss of the raw unpurified Tankana (Borax), which we attribute to the evaporation of water and the elimination of other unwanted harmful substances. This finding piques our curiosity about the potential implications for clinical practice and pharmaceutical applications.

Published: June 2024

Neurological disorders are of excellent incidence today and affect our day-to-day lives. More than 600 known neurological disorders and conditions affect the human nervous system and are hampering the working potential of humans. For many of them, treatment options are minimal. The increasing dissatisfaction with the side effects and long-term consequences of today’s potent and fast-acting medications has led people to seek alternatives. Hence, many are looking towards the safest alternative therapies, of which Ayurveda stands in the first line. This trend indicates the potential for Ayurveda to emerge as a significant medicinal science globally, not only just in India. Neurological disorders can be correlated in Ayurveda under Vatavyadhi. Vata vyadhi is not a single disease but a group of disorders affecting all body systems. Pakshaghata (hemiplegia), Ardita vata (facial paralysis), Sandhigata vata (osteoarthritis), Grdhrasi (sciatica), etc., come under vata vyadhis. Traditionally, a large number of herbs are used to manage Vata vyadhi. One among them is Veerataru (Dichrostachys cinerea Linn.), which is not highlighted in the practice of Ayurveda. Acharya Susruta quoted Veerataru in Veerataradi gana as having complex actions like HANTI VATAKRTAN GADAN (eradicates diseases of vata), RUJAPAHA (reduces pain), and Bhavamisra mentioned in Guduchyadi varga and it is attributed to have the property of action like ANILARTIJIT (overcomes the pain due to vata). Raja Nighantukara mentioned it as VATAMAYA VINASANA (destroys diseases of vata), VATA VIKARANUT (acts on vata disorders), etc., as described by various Acharyas which are essential in treating Vatavyadhi.
BRAHMI GHRITHA PRATIMARSHA NASYA FOR MEMORY: A REVIEW ARTICLE
Authors: N Bhat Harikrishna , Purohit Rohini , Padyana Subrahmanya , Komalankutty Anagha
Published: June 2024

Memory is the recalling of past information and retaining that information in learners. Memory impairment is a common concern among individuals of all ages, with implications for daily functioning and quality of life. The physiological actions of memory are regulated mainly by neurotransmitters and synaptic neurotransmission, among other factors involved. The involvement of neurotransmitters is evident in various diseases involving im-pairment of memory.
Among the various components that impair the neurotransmitters, the involvement of the nasal microbiome is also one of them. Studies have found several commonly "health-associated" sinonasal bacterial taxa to be posi-tively associated with higher neurotransmitter concentrations and negatively associated with depression severity. In dementia-related diseases, the influence of the nasal microbiome is also noted.
Hence, an ideal treatment targeting memory would be nasya. Pratimarsha nasya is mentioned as a procedure in dinacharya. Pratimarsha nasya has a preventive component for many diseases. This fact enables us to hypothe-size that it may influence the nasal microbiome and hence maintain the neurotransmitters, thus acting on memory. Brahmi Gritha Pratimarsha Nasya, an Ayurvedic nasal medication containing Bacopa monnieri (Brahmi), has been traditionally used to enhance cognitive function and memory. This systematic review aims to evaluate the efficacy of Brahmi Gritha Pratimarsha Nasya in memory enhancement. The data in our study also shows the influence of pratimarsha nasya on memory.
A RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL TO COMPARE THE EFFECT OF JATHYADI GHRITA WITH POVIDONE IODINE OINTMENT IN DUSHTAVRANA
Authors: C Akhila , C.V Deepthi , Valsalan Pravini
Published: June 2024

Dushtavrana is a commonly encountered problem faced in surgical practice. The presence of Dushtavrana worsens the condition of the patient with different complications which may become fatal and life-threatening. Good wound healing with minimal scar formation and pain is the prime motto of every surgeon. Many formula-tions have been in use for centuries. One of these is a polyherbal drug, Jathyadi Ghrita. The present study com-pares the effect of Jathyadi Ghrita and Povidone Iodine ointment on relief in signs and symptoms of Dushtav-rana. Clinically diagnosed 34 Dushtavrana patients were divided into groups A and B. Group A (Trial group) managed with Jathyadi Ghrita. Group B (the control group) was managed using the Povidone Iodine ointment application. The study duration was 28 days in both groups, with 17 participants in each group. Assessment was done on 0th, 7th,14th ,21st and 28th day. The data obtained was statistically analysed and interpreted. The assess-ment was done on the 0th,7th,14th,21st and 28th day. The collected data were subjected to statistical analysis using appropriate statistical methods. Frequency and percentages were calculated for qualitative variables, while mean and SD were calculated for quantitative variables. Nonparametric methods were employed to analyse the data. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to assess the significant effect before and after treatment within each group. The Mann Whitney U test was used to compare two groups based on before and after treatment values. P value less than 0.05 is statistically significant. All analyses were carried out with the help of the software SPSS 23.0. Statistically significant changes were noted in pain and itching sensation by management with Jathyadi Ghrita in Dushtavrana compared to Povidone Iodine ointment. Considering all observations, statistical analysis was done, and conclusions were drawn. The study results statistically reveal that Jathyadi Ghrita shows better results than Povidone Iodine ointment in managing pain, itching sensation, burning sensation, ulcer size, and discharge. Thus, the null hypothesis is rejected, and the alternate hypothesis is accepted.

Purpose: To investigate the clinical effect of PDCA（Plan-Do-Check-Act） circulation mode in patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) using continuous positive air way pressure (CPAP) ventilator. Methods: 83 patients with OSAHS who were treated in the department of otorhinolaryngology head and neck surgery were randomly divided into PDCA group (n = 41) and control group (n = 42). The nursing outcomes of the two groups were compared. Result: The rate of reaching the standard wearing time length of non-invasive ventilator in the PDCA group was 80.49%, which was significantly higher than that in the control group (35.71%), and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=17.005, P<0.05). The compliance rate of patients in the PDCA group (90.24%) was higher than that in the control group (73.80%), and the difference was statistically significant (Z= 2.571, P<0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions in the PDCA group was 19.51% lower than that in the control group (64.29%), and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=17.005, P<0.05). The score of fatigue in the PDCA group (4.17 ±1.223) was significantly lower than that in the control group (6.45 ±0.803). Conclusion: PDCA circulation nursing model can effectively improve the up-to-standard rate of time length of patients wearing non-invasive ventilator, reduce the incidence of adverse reactions, improve patient compliance and reduce patient fatigue, which is worthy of clinical promotion.

Key words: PDCA circulation nursing model; the up-to-standard rate of time length of non-invasive ventilator; compliance; incidence of adverse reactions; fatigue degree.
