Emphysematous osteomyelitis is a rare form of osteomyelitis characterized by the presence of intraosseous gas. It is caused by gas-forming organisms, most commonly being members of the Enterobacteriaceae family (particularly Escherichia coli) or anaerobes. Comorbidities such as diabetes mellitus, malignancy, alcohol abuse, Crohn’s disease, and other etiologies causing immune suppression, predispose to this condition. A prompt diagnosis of this potentially fatal condition is required to expedite early management. We present a patient diagnosed with multifocal emphysematous osteomyelitis involving the pelvic bones, left proximal femur, vertebral bodies, ribs, and clavicle caused by E. coli to highlight the unusual diffuse involvement by this rare disease. In addition, we reviewed 58 reported cases of emphysematous osteomyelitis including our case. Our purpose in revising all these cases was to observe any significant difference in outcome (if any exists in mortality) based on age, gender, causative organism, site of involvement, and treatment received. However, we could not observe any significant difference in outcome.

BCR∷ABL1 translocation and JAK2V617F mutations are canonical variants of myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). Traditionally considered mutually exclusive, they may rarely coexist. We report the clinicopathological profile and treatment outcomes of four MPN patients with coexistence of these disease-defining genetic variants. Both mutations were detected simultaneously in three patients who did not harbor tell-tale signs of CML and were evaluated for both BCR∷ABL1 and JAK2V617F based on clues from hemogram, peripheral-blood and bone-marrow examination. All were treated with imatinib and hydroxyurea and attained major molecular response after 2–7 months. In another patient, JAK2V617F was detected 15 years after the diagnosis of CML at the time of evaluation of loss of hematological and molecular response. She was treated with dasatinib but no hematologic or molecular response was attained after 6 months despite good compliance. In conclusion, BCR∷ABL1 and JAK2V617F may rarely coexist in MPN with variable temporal evolution, clinicopathological profile, and treatment response.

Authors: Zhang Lan , Wei Jingge , Liu Xilei , Li Dai , Pang Xiaoqi , Chen Fanglian , Cao Hailong , Lei Ping
Published: July 2024

With the rapidly aging human population, age-related cognitive decline and dementia are becoming increasingly prevalent worldwide. Aging is considered the main risk factor for cognitive decline and acts through alterations in the composition of the gut microbiota, microbial metabolites, and the functions of astrocytes. The microbiota–gut–brain axis has been the focus of multiple studies and is closely associated with cognitive function. This article provides a comprehensive review of the specific changes that occur in the composition of the gut microbiota and microbial metabolites in older individuals and discusses how the aging of astrocytes and reactive astrocytosis are closely related to age-related cognitive decline and neurodegenerative diseases. This article also summarizes the gut microbiota components that affect astrocyte function, mainly through the vagus nerve, immune responses, circadian rhythms, and microbial metabolites. Finally, this article summarizes the mechanism by which the gut microbiota–astrocyte axis plays a role in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. Our findings have revealed the critical role of the microbiota–astrocyte axis in age-related cognitive decline, aiding in a deeper understanding of potential gut microbiome-based adjuvant therapy strategies for this condition.

Published: July 2024

As dengue season sets in across large parts of India with the onset of the monsoon, scientists warn that symptoms of COVID-19 and the mosquito-borne disease overlapand worry that the country’s healthcare infrastructure will not be able to cope with the double whammy. The virus is endemic and present around the year in southern India and in monsoon and early winter, it is present in northern India. The effect will be very critical because the major symptoms overlap and simultaneous infection is much more fatal.
Liquid-based cytology features of pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma: comparison with other non-ductal neoplasms of the pancreas
Authors: Kwon Minji , Hong Seung-Mo , Lee Kyoungbun , Kim Haeryoung
Published: July 2024

Background: Acinar cell carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignant epithelial neoplasm, which shares many cytomorphological features with other non-ductal pancreatic neoplasms such as pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasm (PanNEN) and solid-pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN). Due to the relative rarity of these tumors, pathologists are less familiar with the cytological features, especially on liquid-based cytology (LBC) which has been relatively recently introduced for endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration specimens.Methods: We evaluated the detailed cytological features of 15 histologically confirmed ACC (7 conventional smears [CS], 8 LBC), and compared them with the LBC features of SPN (n = 9) and PanNEN (n = 9).Results: Compared with CS, LBCs of ACC demonstrated significantly less bloody background. All ACCs demonstrated prominent nucleoli and macronucleoli on LBC. On comparison with the LBC features of SPN and PanNEN, most ACCs demonstrated a necrotic background with apoptotic debris while PanNEN and SPN did not show these features. Acinar structures were predominantly observed in ACC, while frequent pseudopapillary structures were seen only in SPN. Prominent nucleoli and macronucleoli were only seen in ACC.Conclusions: ACC had characteristic cytological features that could be observed on LBC preparations, such as high cellularity, necrotic/apoptotic background, nuclear tangles, acinar arrangement of cells, and macronucleoli. These findings also help distinguish ACC from PanNEN and SPN on LBC. It is important to be familiar with these features, as an accurate diagnosis on endoscopic ultrasound–guided fine needle aspiration cytology would have impact on the management of the patient.
Association between glucose-lowering drugs and circulating insulin antibodies induced by insulin therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes
Authors: Zhang Peng , Jiang Qing , Ding Bo , Yan Reng-Na , Hu Yun , Ma Jian-Hua
Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND

Insulin antibodies (IAs) affect blood glucose control in patients receiving insulin therapy.

AIM

To investigate the relationship between different hypoglycemic treatments and IAs in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

METHODS

This cross-sectional, retrospective study included 1863 patients with T2DM who were receiving exogenous insulin therapy. All patients received stable antidiabetic therapy in the last 3 months and IA levels were measured using an iodine-125 array.

RESULTS

A total of 1863 patients were enrolled. There were 902 (48.4%) patients who had positive IAs (IA level > 5%), with a mean IA level of 11.06% (10.39%-11.72%). IA levels were positively correlated with high fasting blood glucose (odds ratio = 1.069, P < 0.001). The proportion of positive IAs was lowest in patients using glargine only (31.9%) and highest in patients using human insulin only (70.3%), P < 0.001. The IA levels in patients using sulfonylureas/glinides (8.3%), metformin (9.6%), and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (8.2%) were all lower than in patients without these drugs (all P < 0.05).

CONCLUSION

Nearly half of patients on insulin therapy have positive IA antibodies, and IA antibody levels are associated with blood glucose control. Insulin glargine and a combination of oral glucose-lowering drugs were correlated with lower IA levels.

Authors: Yu Pei-Ling , Yu You , Li Shuang , Mu Bai-Chen , Nan Ming-Hua , Pang Min
Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND

Heart failure (HF), especially HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), presents complex challenges, particularly in the aging population where it often coexists with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

AIM

To analyze the effect of dapagliflozin treatment on cardiac, renal function, and safety in patients with HFrEF combined with T2DM.

METHODS

Patients with T2DM complicated with HFrEF who underwent treatment in our hospital from February 2018 to March 2023 were retrospectively analyzed as the subjects of this study. The propensity score matching method was used, and a total of 102 eligible samples were scaled. The clinical efficacy of the two groups was evaluated at the end of the treatment, comparing the results of blood glucose, insulin, cardiac function, markers of myocardial injury, renal function indexes, and 6-min walk test (6MWT) before and after the treatment. We compared the occurrence of adverse effects on the treatment process of the two groups of patients. The incidence of adverse outcomes in patients within six months of treatment was counted.

RESULTS

The overall clinical efficacy rate of patients in the study group was significantly higher than that of patients in the control group (P = 0.013). After treatment, the pancreatic beta-cell function index, left ventricular ejection fraction, and glomerular filtration rate of patients in the study group were significantly higher than control group (P < 0.001), while their fasting plasma glucose, 2-h postprandial glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, insulin resistance index, left ventricular end-systolic diameter, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter, cardiac troponin I, creatine kinase-MB, N-terminal pro b-type natriuretic peptide, serum creatinine, and blood urea nitrogen were significantly lower than those of the control group. After treatment, patients in the study group had a significantly higher 6MWT than those in the control group (P < 0.001). Hypoglycemic reaction (P = 0.647), urinary tract infection (P = 0.558), gastrointestinal adverse effect (P = 0.307), respiratory disturbance (P = 0.558), and angioedema (P = 0.647) were not statistically different. There was no significant difference between the incidence of adverse outcomes between the two groups (P = 0.250).

CONCLUSION

Dapagliflozin significantly enhances clinical efficacy, cardiac and renal function, and ambulatory capacity in patients with HFrEF and T2DM without an increased risk of adverse effects or outcomes.
Functional lumen imaging probe use in a high-volume practice: Practical and technical implications
Authors: Jiang Yan , Vazquez-Reyes Raul , Kamal Afrin , Zikos Thomas , Triadafilopoulos George , Clarke John O
Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND

The functional lumen imaging probe (FLIP) is a Food and Drug Administration approved tool to aid the diagnosis and management of esophageal disorders. However, widespread adoption of FLIP remains limited and its utility in high-volume practices remains unclear.

AIM

To analyze large sample data on clinical use of FLIP and provide insight on several technical aspects when performing FLIP.

METHODS

We conducted a retrospective comparative and descriptive analysis of FLIP procedures performed by a single provider at an academic medical center. There was a total of 398 FLIP procedures identified. Patient medical records were reviewed and data regarding demographics and procedural details were collected. Statistical tests, including chi-squared, t -test, and multivariable logistic and linear regression, were performed.

RESULTS

There was an increase in FLIP cases with each successive time period of 13 months (n = 68, 146, 184, respectively) with notable rises specifically for indications of dysphagia and gastroesophageal reflux disease. There was a shift toward use of the longer FLIP balloon catheter for diagnostic purposes (overall 70.4% vs 29.6%, P < 0.01). Many cases (42.8%) were performed in conjunction with other diagnostics/interventions, such as dilation and wireless pH probe placement. Procedures were nearly equally performed with anesthesia vs moderate sedation (51.4% anesthesia), with no major complications. Patients who had anesthesia were less likely to have recurrent antegrade contractions [odds ratio (OR) = 0.4, 95%CI: 0.3-0.8] and were also more likely to have absent contractility (OR = 2.4, 95%CI: 1.3-4.4).

CONCLUSION

FLIP cases have increased in our practice with expanding indications for its use. Given limited normative data, providers should be aware of several potential technical issues, including the possible impact of sedation choice when assessing esophageal motility patterns.
Endoscopic pancreatogastric anastomosis in the treatment of symptoms associated with inflammatory diseases of the pancreas
Authors: Jagielski Mateusz , Bella Eryk , Jackowski Marek
Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND

The outflow of pancreatic juice into the duodenum is often impaired in pancreatic inflammatory diseases. The basis of interventional treatment in these cases is anatomical transpapillary access of the main pancreatic duct during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), which ensures the physiological outflow of pancreatic juice into the lumen of the digestive tract. However, in some patients, anatomical changes prevent transpapillary drainage of the main pancreatic duct. Surgery is the treatment of choice in such cases.

AIM

To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of endoscopic pancreaticogastrostomy under endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) guidance.

METHODS

Retrospective analysis of treatment outcomes of all patients with acute or chronic pancreatitis who underwent endoscopic pancreatogastric anastomosis under EUS guidance in 2018-2023 at the Department of General, Gastroenterological and Oncological Surgery, Ludwik Rydygier Collegium Medicum in Bydgoszcz, Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, Poland.

RESULTS

In 9 patients [7 men, 2 women; mean age 53.45 (36-66) years], endoscopic pancreatogastric anastomosis under EUS guidance was performed because of the lack of transpapillary access during ERCP. Narrowing of the main pancreatic duct at the head of the pancreas was observed in 4/9 patients (44.44%). Pancreatic fragmentation (disconnected pancreatic duct syndrome) was diagnosed in 3/9 patients (33.33%). In 2/9 patients (22.22%), narrowing of the pancreatoenteric anastomosis was observed after pancreaticoduodenectomy. Technical success of endoscopic pancreaticogastrostomy was observed in 8/9 patients (88.89%). Endotherapeutic complications were observed in 2/9 patients (22.22%). Clinical success was achieved in 8/9 patients (88.89%). The mean follow-up period was 451 (42-988) d. Long-term success of endoscopic pancreatogastric anastomosis was achieved in 7/9 patients (77.78%).

CONCLUSION

Endoscopic pancreaticogastrostomy under EUS guidance is an effective and safe treatment method, especially in the absence of transpapillary access to the main pancreatic duct.

Dvajset let popotovanja po slovenski literaturi in kulturni sceni Buenos Airesa
Authors: Sarachu Vodopivec Julia
Published: July 2024

Based on the interpretation of the Hegelian dialectic carried out by Slavoj Žižek in the book For They Know Not What They Do: Enjoyment as a Political Factor (1998), the case of a specific translation experience, told in the first person by the translator, is analyzed as a dialectical process through which the translator becomes involved in a process of cultural integration that, at the same time, can be interpreted as self-aliena­tion from the process of constructing the translator’s own identity. Both the translator’s first-person narrative and the reflections in relation to its testimony are relevant material for those that approach the task of tran­slation, as well as for researchers in intercultural administration, historians of migration processes and Slovenian communities abroad, and researchers in cultural history, psychology, semiotics, and philosophy.

Published: July 2024

While the mobile environment is rapidly absorbing new beauty-related information, the information of mobile cosmetics apps is playing an important role in changing women's personality, beautiful appearance, and life. The purpose of this study is to understand the characteristics of mobile cosmetics apps from this point of view, and through this, the effect of cosmetics apps' utilization status and cosmetics consumers' purchasing behavior on purchase satisfaction. This study was conducted as an empirical analysis through theoretical consideration and questionnaire method. Previous studies, academic journals, reports, and presentation data were collected and analyzed to understand the characteristics and current status of the cosmetics market, and cosmetics purchase behavior through mobile cosmetics apps was analyzed. A questionnaire was conducted and empirical analysis was conducted to analyze the cosmetics purchase behavior, satisfaction, and usage status of cosmetics apps by consumers through the app. The results of the study are as follows. The group that uses mobile cosmetics apps the most is office workers under their 20s, and the preference for cosmetics apps is Olive Young, which is rich in product information, because it is well suited to the lifestyle of the 20s. Housewives in their 50s used offline more than apps. Through this, it can be seen that people in their 20s who are familiar with smartphones use mobile cosmetics apps more than those in their 50s who have difficulty using smartphones. As a result of analyzing the factors affecting the satisfaction of purchasing cosmetics through mobile cosmetics apps, acquisition of makeup information and easy purchase channels were found to have a great influence on purchase satisfaction.

Authors: LU JING YI , Jung Jung Ho ,   Korea Institute of Design Research Society
Published: July 2024

As the digitization of museums accelerates, service-oriented virtual humans are leading the museum industry's entry into the metaverse. However, compared to other countries, the application of service-oriented virtual humans in Chinese museums is still in its early stages. This study explores ways to enhance the user experience of service-oriented virtual humans in museums through emotional design and UX evaluation. Firstly, the study identifies emotional design elements and UX evaluation factors through prior research. Secondly, it discusses seven elements—visual, auditory, storytelling, interaction, pleasure, satisfaction, and convenience—across the three levels of emotional design(instinctive, behavioral, and reflective) using representative cases from Chinese museums. Thirdly, based on prior research, the study establishes UX evaluation criteria and selects expert interview subjects, identifying key factors affecting user experience: meaningful, pleasurable, convenient, usable, reliable, and interaction. Finally, the study synthesizes insights from case analysis and interview results. From an emotional design perspective, virtual humans are modeled after real people and incorporate traditional Chinese cultural elements in their appearance, using natural dialogue and emotional expression. They explain the background and history of artifacts and enhance participation through diverse interaction methods. Rich knowledge and engaging interactions attract visitor attention and enhance enjoyment. In terms of UX evaluation, diverse interactions increase immersion, while natural language and visual/auditory elements stimulate curiosity and engagement. Concise information delivery and voice interaction improve convenience. Functions such as inquiry response and route planning meet individual needs. Natural voice interaction and data security enhance trust, while improved voice recognition accuracy and facial expression consistency enhance user immersion and interaction experience.

The aim of this research is to determine the influence of the TikTok application on the moral development of children aged 5-6 years at AL - IKHLAS Kindergarten, Kademangan District. This research uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data was collected through observation analysis, interviews and documentation. The respondents in this study were three parents of students aged 5-6 years at TK AL – IKHLAS, Kademangan District. The research results show that the use of the social media platform TikTok has an important influence on children's moral development. Changes in behavior in early childhood caused by watching TikTok videos that involve deviations from the religious and moral values ​​taught at AL – IKHLAS Kindergarten, Kademangan District. Even though there are positive impacts such as increasing knowledge and increasing children's brain concentration, negative impacts also occur after watching videos on the TikTok application. Children easily imitate the style of adults on TikTok, use harsh language, and commit inappropriate actions as a result of watching TikTok content. This negative impact also spreads to learning activities at school. Therefore, it is important for parents to accompany their children when watching TikTok videos so that the videos their children watch can be directed towards watching positive videos.

Person and Essence: A Response to the Negative Reception of Metropolitan John Zizioulas’ Theology of Personhood
Authors:   University of Belgrade, Faculty of Orthodox Theology, Serbia, Đakovac Aleksandar
Published: July 2024

Critique is a desirable and necessary element in every domain of hu- man thought. Well-argued and well-grounded theological critique of- fers the potential for deeper insights and more precise explanations, all of which contribute to more successful communication of the Gospel message. Pointing out the shortcomings of our predecessors and teach- ers is therefore essential. This is what the patristic heritage teaches us. The Fathers always relied on their predecessors and teachers, but they also supplemented, interpreted, and sometimes corrected their state- ments. However, if theological criticism is based on the desire to pro- mote one’s own originality, or worse, to denigrate our predecessors, then it misses its mark and proves to be empty and unworthy of its preem- inent task — the building up of the Church. The work of Metropoli- tan John Zizioulas has left an indelible and profound mark on ecclesial theology. Precisely because of this, his insights are often the subject of both praise and sharp criticism. When it comes to criticism, this paper will deal with the objections raised against his teaching on personhood, which is at the heart of his Triadology, Christology, and anthropolo- gy, and consequently all other theological disciplines. It is our opinion that the criticisms of Zizioulas’ theology, at least as far as his teaching on personhood is concerned, are insufficiently grounded and that the objections raised are not valid. This is what we will attempt to argue in this paper. Our goal is not to present Zizioulas as an infallible author- ity. It is possible that in the future someone will offer a more complete and comprehensive teaching on personhood than Zizioulas’s, but in our judgment that time has not yet come. Due to the comprehensiveness of the topic, we are forced to omit many details and to try to provide a general overview of the controversy in this field.
Body as Image of God in Anthropology of Metropolitan John Zizioulas
Authors:   University of Belgrade, Faculty of Orthodox Theology, Serbia, Jovanović Stefan
Published: July 2024

The question of body and corporeality is strongly present in today’s society and culture. It is because of this that Metropolitan Zizioulas wrote about the place and role of the body in the context of orthodox ontology. For him, a body is a medium through which freedom unfolds, it is a way in which we are available for one another, and therefore it is also an icon of God, symbol of God in this effect. In which way does understanding of ontology, which is based on relations, affect the un- derstanding of the body? What is the role of body in the Church? What is the eschatological fate of the body? We will try to provide an answer to this and other questions in this paper.

The high and evenly distributed number of early marriages in Banyuraden Village, Gamping District, Sleman Regency should raise concerns in order to lessen the issue of family discord by bolstering the spiritual principles of Islam, which is the predominant religion practiced by the locals. One way to do this is by participating in one of the Toddler Family Development (Bina Keluarga Balita) activity groups. For this reason, Participation Action Research (PAR) was used to teach family resilience and conduct community service projects with pertinent themes. Planning, licensing, and communicating family resilience challenges are all part of the implementation at the BKB community group in the same village, Mutiara Hati Child Care Center. Additionally, a focus group discussion (FGD) was conducted about the creation of Islamically oriented family resilience materials associated with the BKB activities. The evaluation process is then preceded by socialization. The strengthening of Islamic-based family resilience materials that have been modified for BKB activities can still be done after completing this PKM activity.
