Hypothyroidism is the most common long-term consequence after total thyroidectomy. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the lipid profile and liver function in patients after hypothyroidism. Sixty patients who underwent a surgical operation to remove thyroid were included in this study, and thirty healthy subjects were used as a control. The study was conducted at Al-Sadr Medical City in Al-Najaf city, in Iraq, from October 2020 to March 2021. Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) was very high in patients at a hypothyroid stage after hypothyroidism. The results showed a significant increase in total cholesterol, triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and the ratio of total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL). The study also revealed a significant increase in the liver enzymes aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) and a significant decrease in alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in patients with thyroidectomy compared to the control group. The correlation matrix revealed a strong positive correlation between TSH levels and total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, AST, ALT, and ALP. It was concluded that hypothyroidism, the major consequence of thyroidectomy, causes dysfunction in lipid metabolism and liver enzymes resulting in secondary hyperlipidemia and liver dysfunction.

VACTERL represents an acronym for a broad spectrum of congenital anomalies such as vertebral anomalies, anorectal anomalies (anal atresia), cardiac anomalies, tracheoesophageal fistula or atresia, renal anomalies, and limb anomalies. We present the case of a male fetus with multiple anomalies consistent with VACTERL association such as scoliosis, imperforate anus, common truncus arteriosus, tracheoesophageal fistula associated with inferior esophagus atresia, polycystic kidneys, with short right ureter, lower limb hypoplasia micrognathia, hygroma, duodenal atresia, and cloacal malformation, with an aberrant omphalomesenteric duct. The presented case highlights the crucial importance of pathologists specialized in the dissection and confirmation of fetal abnormalities as an essential part of the multidisciplinary team that establishes the management of complicated pregnancies with this type of pathology.

Authors: Saluja Alvee , Verma Jyoti , Anees Shahbaz , Nangia Anita , Dhamija Rajinder K.
Published: November 2022

Morvan’s syndrome is a rare anti-contactin-associated protein-like 2 (CASPR2) antibody-mediated autoimmune disorder. The clinical features of this syndrome include muscular twitching, insomnia, dysautonomia, peripheral nerve hyperexcitability, and fluctuating delirium. An underlying tumor is commonly found among Morvan’s syndrome cases, with thymoma being the most frequent association. We describe an unusual case of a 39-year-old female with excruciating bilateral leg pain, insomnia, hyperhidrosis, peripheral nerve hyperexcitability, serum anti-CASPR2 antibody positivity, and a solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas on histopathology. Furthermore, the patient’s symptoms improved after receiving intravenous immunoglobulin (0.4 g/kg per day for 5 days). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of Morvan syndrome associated with a solid pseudopapillary pancreatic tumor to be reported in the literature to date. Our case adds to the spectrum of malignancies that are associated with Morvan’s syndrome. The recognition of this rare syndrome and its various associations are important for the neurologist, as it is a potentially treatable condition.

Authors: Nebhinani Naresh , Mattoo Surendra , Wanchu Ajay
Published: November 2022

Objectives:

Enhancement of quality of life and social support havebecome important therapeutic goals among people living with HIV. However, research from developing countries is sparse in this area. Index study was aimed to assess association of social support, coping, and quality of life with psychological morbidity among people living with HIV.

Materials and Methods:

In this cross-sectional study, 100 people with HIV were recruited through purposive sampling who were not receiving antiretroviral therapy. To assess social support, coping, and quality of life social support questionnaire, coping strategy check list and World Health Organization quality of life-HIV BREF were administered, respectively.

Results:

Quality of life domain scores fell in the moderate category and spirituality, religion, and personal belief domain had maximum score. Educated, married, employed, and male subjects reported better quality of life. Females reported greater use of internalization and emotional outlet coping strategies. Low social support, lower quality of life (in all domains and total score), and greater use of internalization coping strategy were significantly associated with psychiatric morbidity.

Conclusion:

Internalization coping, low social support, and lower quality of life were associated with greater psychiatric morbidity. Therefore, to improve their mental health and overall course of HIV, multipronged interventions should be implemented for promoting the adaptive coping, social support and quality of life.
From descriptors to intrinsic fish toxicity of chemicals: an alternative approach to chemical prioritization
Authors: Samanipour Saer , O'Brien Jake , Reid Malcolm , Thomas Kevin , Praetorius Antonia
Published: November 2022

The European and US chemical agencies have listed approximately 800k chemicals where knowledge on potential risks to human health and the environment are lacking. Filling these data gaps experimentally is impossible so in-silico approaches and prediction are essential. Many existing models are however limited by assumptions (e.g. linearity and continuity) and small training sets. In this study we present a supervised direct classification model that connects molecular descriptors to toxicity. Categories can be either data-driven (using k-means clustering) or regulatory-defined. This was tested via 907 experimentally defined 96h LC50 values for acute fish toxicity. Our classification model explained ~90% of variance in our data for the training set and ~80% for the test set. This strategy gave a 5-fold decrease in the incorrect categorization compared to a QSAR regression model. Our model was subsequently employed to predict the toxicity categories of ~32k chemicals. A comparison between the model-based applicability domain (AD) and the training set AD was performed, suggesting that the training set based AD is a more adequate way to avoid extrapolation when using such models. The better performance of our direct classification model compared to QSAR methods, makes this approach a viable tool for hazard and risk assessment of chemicals.
Quantifying the Ultrafast and Steady-State Molecular Reduction Potential of a Plasmonic Photocatalyst
Authors: Warkentin Christopher , Frontiera Renee
Published: November 2022

Plasmonic materials are promising photocatalysts as they are well-suited to convert light into hot carriers and heat. Hot electron transfer is suggested as the driving force in many plasmon-driven reactions. However, to date there are no direct molecular measures of the rate and yield of plasmon-to-molecule electron transfer, or energy of these electrons on the timescale of plasmon decay. Here, we use ultrafast and spectroelectrochemical surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy to quantify electron transfer from a plasmonic substrate to adsorbed methyl viologen molecules. We observe a reduction yield of 2.4 - 3.5 % on the picosecond timescale, with plasmon-induced potentials ranging from -3.1 to -4.5 mV. Excitingly, some of these reduced species are stabilized and persist for tens of minutes. This work provides concrete metrics toward optimizing material-molecule interactions for efficient plasmon-driven photocatalysis.
Characteristics of cognitive impairment in multiple sclerosis patients depending on different risk factors
Authors: Odintsova Tetiana A.
Published: November 2022

Cognitive impairment (CI), along with motor deficit, is a crucial component of a disability aggravation in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. The aim of this study was to asses characteristics of CI in separate cognitive domains depending on socio-demographic (age, sex, level of education), disease parameters (severity, course type and disease duration) and external factors (smoking). The current study enrolled 137 MS patients (102 women and 35 men) aged from 22 to 69 years. All participants were divided into two groups depending on the disease course: group А – patients with relapsing-remitting (RR-MS) type (n=106) and group B – participants with progressive forms of the disease (n=31). The following study discovered that disruption of separate cognitive domains was present even without the apparent CI according to MоCA (Montreal Cognitive Assessment): executive functions impairment (p=0,0013) was found most frequently in case of RR-MS, and memory (p=0,0233) decline in case of progressive forms. In the group A moderate CI were associated with decrease of memory (p<0,0001), attention (p=0,0061), executive functions (p=0,0005), language (p=0,0080) and abstract thinking (p=0,0018); severe CI – with disorders of attention (p=0,0055), language (p<0,0001) and abstract thinking (p=0,0144). As for the group B, moderate CI were associated with decline of abstract thinking (p<0,0001), and severe CI – with impairment of memory and executive functions (p=0,0337). Level of physical disability and smoking impact CI independently of MS course, meanwhile, presence of higher education proves to be beneficial for preserving cognitive functions. In addition, disease duration, number of exacerbations and male gender (concerning attention decline) can affect cognition in relapsing-remitting course of MS.

Published: November 2022

La hipertensión y la diabetes son los factores de riesgo modificables de las enfermedades cardiovasculares asociados a casi un tercio de todas las muertes en la Región de las Américas cada año (2,3 millones). A pesar de los avances en la detección y el manejo clínico de la hipertensión y la diabetes, existen brechas sustanciales en la implementación a nivel regional y mundial. El considerable solapamiento en los factores de riesgo, el pronóstico y el tratamiento de la hipertensión y la diabetes crea una oportunidad única para un modelo unificado de implementación para el manejo a nivel poblacional. En este informe se pone de relieve una iniciativa importante de este tipo, el programa HEARTS en las Américas de la Organización Panamericana de la Salud, basado en el paquete técnico HEARTS para el manejo de las enfermedades cardiovasculares en la atención primaria de salud. El programa HEARTS tiene como objetivo mejorar la implementación de la atención preventiva de las enfermedades cardiovasculares en los sistemas de atención primaria de salud mediante seis componentes pragmáticos basados en la evidencia: Hábitos y estilos de vida saludables: asesoramiento para los pacientes; Evidencia: protocolos basados en la evidencia; Acceso a medicamentos y tecnologías esenciales; Riesgo cardiovascular: manejo de las enfermedades cardiovasculares basado en el riesgo; Trabajo en equipos; y Sistemas de monitoreo. Hasta la fecha, los proyectos de implementación de HEARTS se han centrado principalmente en la hipertensión, dado que es el principal factor de riesgo modificable de las enfermedades cardiovasculares y puede tratarse de una manera costo-eficaz. El objetivo de este informe es describir las oportunidades para la integración de la política y la atención clínica en el marco HEARTS para la hipertensión. Se podría evitar una significativa carga mundial de enfermedad con un manejo integrado de la atención primaria de estos problemas de salud. Por lo tanto, existe una urgencia en la aplicación de las enseñanzas de HEARTS para salvar estas brechas en la implementación y mejorar la detección, el tratamiento y el control integrados de la diabetes y la hipertensión.

Published: November 2022

Background

Surveillance of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and antimicrobial use (AMU) in Europe is currently annual.

Aim

To study the feasibility and scalability of a quarterly AMR/AMU surveillance system in the European Union/European Economic Area (EU/EEA).

Methods

We conducted a longitudinal study within the scope of the EU-JAMRAI project. Seventeen partners from 11 EU/EEA countries prospectively collected 41 AMU and AMR indicators quarterly from September 2017 to May 2020 for the hospital sector (HS) and primary care (PC). Descriptive statistics and coefficients of variation (CV) analysis were performed.

Results

Data from 8 million hospital stays and 45 million inhabitants per quarter were collected at national (n = 4), regional (n = 6) and local (n = 7) levels. Of all partners, five were able to provide data within 3 months after each preceding quarter, and eight within 3–6 months. A high variability in AMU was found between partners. Colistin was the antibiotic that showed the highest CV in HS (1.40; p < 0.0001). Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli presented the highest incidence in HS (0.568 ± 0.045 cases/1,000 bed-days per quarter), whereas ciprofloxacin-resistant E. coli showed the highest incidence in PC (0.448 ± 0.027 cases/1,000 inhabitants per quarter). Barriers and needs for implementation were identified.

Conclusion

This pilot study could be a first step towards the development of a quarterly surveillance system for AMU and AMR in both HS and PC in the EU/EEA. However, committed institutional support, dedicated human resources, coordination of data sources, homogeneous indicators and modern integrated IT systems are needed first to implement a sustainable quarterly surveillance system.

Discutimos relações mínimas de consistência e coerência em processos de ensino e aprendizagem na interface da Teoria da Aprendizagem Significativa (TAS) e do Ensino de Ciências pela Pesquisa (ECP). Para isso, analisamos trabalhos que, explícita ou implicitamente, tenham realizado tal amálgama nas edições de 2013, 2015 e 2017 do ENPEC/ABRAPEC, ambiência que promove e dissemina conhecimentos acadêmicos de relevância e impacto; procedimentalmente, utilizamos a Análise Textual Discursiva (ATD) em uma abordagem descritiva de uma revisão narrativa, em que a busca das fontes não é sistemática e é usualmente menos abrangente, embora útil como exploração primária ao campo de pesquisa. Cinco categorias argumentativas foram identificadas: (i) autores de referência com relação à TAS; (ii) abordagens metodológicas; (iii) alfabetização científica e suas potenciais contribuições ao ensino de ciências; (iv) o estudante como sujeito ativo/participativo no seu aprendizado; e o (v) uso de tecnologias digitais como estratégia de qualificação ao ensino de ciências. Os resultados indicaram que os autores mais frequentes foram Ausubel, Novak e/ou Gowin; as abordagens metodológicas dos trabalhos não foram mormente definidas, embora mencionados ações/instrumentos; quanto à alfabetização científica, houve ênfase nos estudantes, constatando-se que a mera apropriação de recursos midiáticos não subjaz fundamentos do conhecimento especializado que o ensino de natureza científica requer; em relação ao estudante como sujeito ativo/participativo, isso se pôde ver induzido pelo uso de metodologias na configuração de espaçostempos que privilegiaram a reflexão/problematização de saberes e fazeres; quanto às tecnologias digitais, elas foram recorrentemente recomendadas em abordagens didáticas, mediadas diretivamente pelo professor com ênfase em participação, cooperação e pesquisa.

Published: November 2022

Music plays flourished in the world of the Korean popular play during the Korean Liberation Period. Among them, the cases that drew the interest and curiosity of the audience by composing a narrative based on existing songs and using popular songs as the main theme are particularly noteworthy. The Sorrow of Wanderer is a representative example, but it has not been made meaningful approach so far. It may be mainly because the script has not been excavated until now. Since the script was recently discovered, however, a way to study the status of performances in the 1940s and their characteristics has been opened. Moreover, a path has been opened to discuss the relevance to the popular song of the same name and to conduct meaningful historical research on the production team and creative subject. This study, based on the excavated script of The Sorrow of Wanderer , aims to discuss its birth and transformation, creative subject and reason for change, musical composition and narrative characteristics, and performance effects. It is expected that the academic discussion on this work will not only examine itself, but will be also a help in the study of the overall characteristics of the musical plays that flourished during the Korean Liberation Period.
Operational Aspects of Gochwi (Processional Band) Performed in Rites for Granting an Honorific Title right after the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592
Authors:   National Gugak Center, Kim Jongsu
Published: November 2022

When bringing precious things such as royal edict (敎書), investiture book (冊), and royal seal (寶), the processional band, called gochwi (鼓吹), is set up together with the small scale royal emblem (細仗). Compared to the front gochwi (前部鼓吹) accompanied during the king or queen's travels, this band is small scale, so to distinguish it from the front gochwi, it is called sejang gochwi (細仗鼓吹) for convenience's sake. There is an opinion that the sejang gochwi with the small scale emblem only lead in front without playing. To interrogate this, this study examines various cases of gochwi used in the rites for granting an honorific title from the King Seonjo (宣祖) to King Injo (仁祖) era.…
Study on the Hierarchization of Teaching and Learning Contents of Jeongga
Authors:   National Gugak Center, Jeong Miyoung
Published: November 2022

It is well known that the content should be hierarchically organized according to school level and grade group in education. Therefore, this study aims to hierarchize teaching and learning contents for jeongga--including gagok, gasa, and sijo--a representative vocal genre of gugak. To this end, it analyzes the contents of the jeongga-related curriculum and the related contents of elementary, middle, and high school textbooks of the 2015 revision curriculum.
As a result, sijo and gagok in the music curriculum and textbooks are established to some extent while there is little content on gasa and thus it requires to develop music pieces for its education and revitalize it. In addition, most jeongga pieces are not presented in a systematic way for teaching and learning to suit the school level; above all, the same pieces of sijo and gagok tend to be presented repeatedly regardless of school level.
Based on this analysis, five factors, such as 'genre and music piece', 'activity area', 'score and music length', 'score form', and 'learning activity', are selected as elements and considerations necessary for hierarchical research. According to these factors, a plan should be sought to hierarchize teaching and learning contents according to school level and grade group. I believe that such discussion is necessary at the time of the revision of the current music curriculum and textbooks, and I hope that the discussion on the hierarchization of various gugak genres as well as the jeongga will continue.

Laku Pancawisaya: Ajaran Tokoh Wayang Semar dalam Mereduksi Krisis
Authors: Yusuf M.
Published: November 2022

This article aims to describe what is the pancawisaya practice and what values it contains, and how Pancawisaya practice to reduct the problem of crises. Pancawisaya practice is a teaching that contains a reflection of the wisdom of life that was taught by Semar to Arjuna after the death of his father, Prabu Pandu Dewanata. Semar is a representation of a problem solver or crisis counselor because he is a protector and guidance officer, and has a noble personality. Pancawisaya practice contains philosophical and mystical values as is the practice of Javanese figures in general who love to mystical. Examining from soul processing contains similarities with the value of Sufistic / Sufism akhlaqi. Examining the concept of behavior in getting happiness contains similarities to the concepts of Aristotales, Socrates, Plato, Pythagoras and several other Muslim philosophers, such as al-Faraby, Ibn Miskawayh, al-Haytam, al-Ghazali. Pancawisaya practice to reduct the problem of crises teaches optimism in action. To resolve a crisis situation, humans must return to the meaning of life from the results of managed positive thoughts. Positive thoughts are formed through the Sufistic experience that is carried out; in the form of meditation, meditation, or seclusion.

Penelitian ini dilakukan pada saham-saham dalam Indeks LQ45 pada periode Februari 2019 – Januari 2021 sebanyak 54 saham. Teknik pengambilan sampel menggunakan teknik purposive sampling yang menghasilkan 9 sampel penelitian. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa dengan pendekatan Price Earning Ratio (PER) diperoleh 2 saham yang berada pada kondisi overvalued dan 7 saham yang berada pada kondisi undervalued sedangkan dengan metode Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) diperoleh 5 saham tidak efisien atau saham perusahaan yang berada pada kondisi overvalued dan 4 saham efisien atau saham perusahaan yang berada pada kondisi undervalued. Berdasarkan penggunaan metode Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) diperoleh hasil bahwa nilai MAD CAPM lebih kecil dibandingkan dengan nilai MAD PER (0,011 < 0,077) yang berarti bahwa  metode CAPM lebih akurat dibandingkan dengan pendekatan Price Earning Ratio (PER) sebagai dasar dalam pengambilan keputusan investasi saham. Dengan demikian, metode CAPM dapat digunakan oleh para investor sebagai dasar dalam pengambilan keputusan investasi untuk mendapat return yang maksimal dan meminimalisir risiko pada masa pandemi Covid-19.
