Published: January 2025

Įvadas. Lietuvoje tyrimų su senyvo amžiaus pacientais, nustatant senatvinio silpnumo sindromą, atlikta mažai. Trūksta tyrimų, kurie analizuotų geriatrinės depresijos sąsajas su senatviniu silpnumu.

Tikslas. Įvertinti senatvinio silpnumo sindromo ir depre­sijos pasireiškimą bei šių rodiklių sąsajas tarp ambula­torines slaugos paslaugas namuose gaunančių pacientų.

Metodai. Tyrime dalyvavo 147 respondentai. Tyrimas atliktas X asmens sveikatos priežiūros įstaigoje. Taikytas kiekybinis tyrimo metodas – apklausa. Duomenys rinkti nuo 2024 m. vasario iki 2024 m. balandžio mėn. Naudoti klausimynai: Edmontono silpnumo skalė ir Geriatrinės depresijos skalė. Tyrimas atliktas laikantis etikos prin­cipų. Duomenų statistinei analizei atlikti buvo naudojama SPSS (angl. Statistical Package for Social Science) ir MS Excel 2010 programos.

Rezultatai. 79,6 proc. (n=117) tiriamųjų turėjo senatvinio silpnumo sindromą. Maža dalis (n=4) respondentų buvo visiškai sveiki, o 40,1 proc. (n=59) nustatytas vidutinis silpnumas, 10,2 proc. (n=15) − sunkus silpnumas. Paaiš­kėjo, kad 77,6 proc. (n=114) respondentų turėjo depresi­jos požymių. Kuo didesni depresijos požymiai (r=0,579; p<0,001), tuo aukštesnis senatvinio silpnumo lygis.

Pagal sindromo lygį beveik pusei respondentų nustatytas vidutinis silpnumas, trečdalis turėjo lengvą silpnumą, o dešimtadalis – sunkų. 2. Daugiau nei pusė respondentų turėjo depresijos po­žymių. Gauta, kad kuo didesnis respondentų amžius ar žemesnis išsilavinimas, tuo depresijos pasireiškimo lygis yra aukštesnis. 3. Kuo didesni depresijos požymiai, tuo aukštesnis ir senatvinio silpnumo lygis.
Evaluación del potencial de reducción de los gases de efecto invernadero de los certificados de servicios ambientales otorgados en el Paraguay bajo el marco de la Ley 3001
Authors: M Montero  , Lorena Muñoz del Campo
Published: January 2025

Nature-based solutions, consisting of the protection and restoration of forests due to their particular characteristic of acting as carbon sinks, have emerged as measures to combat climate change. To protect these forest ecosystems in Paraguay, Law 3001 was enacted, establishing the valuation and compensation of environmental services. This law aims to conserve, protect, recover, and sustainably develop the country's biological diversity and natural resources through the fair, timely, and adequate valuation and compensation of environmental services. This study evaluates the potential reductions of greenhouse gases (GHG) of certificate holders of environmental services in Paraguay under the framework of Law 3001. The results show that CO2eq sequestration by certified areas represents 10% of GHG emissions in 2017; therefore, a total of approximately 2,578,042 - 3,338,438 hectares of certified areas are needed to offset 50% of Paraguay’s GHG emissions. It concludes that focusing efforts on directly reducing the country's emissions, considering its different sectors, is crucial. Furthermore, implementing forest restoration measures, which can be a new approach to Law 3001, and considering sustainable measures for agricultural activities such as the implementation of agroforestry, silvopastoral production, and forest management silvopastoral systems to achieve SDGs as established in the Paraguay National Development Plan 2030 (PND), is recommended.
The Quadrant Localization Technique for Percutaneous Balloon Compression Surgery is Beneficial for Patients with Classic Trigeminal Neuralgia: A Retrospective Study
Authors: Jiang Xinghua
Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND: The Hartel anterior approach is a commonly used puncture method in percutaneous balloon compression (PBC) surgery. However, anatomical variations along the puncture path, and visual errors on x-ray 2-dimensional imaging, may increase the difficulty of a successful first attempt. Our clinical practice has shown that employing the quadrant localization technique to plan puncture points and angles can enhance the puncture success rate.

OBJECTIVES: We will demonstrate that the quadrant localization technique increases the success rate of the first puncture of the foramen ovale and the initial placement of the balloon catheter, thereby improving the efficiency of PBC surgery.

STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective study.

SETTING: A single center, tertiary general hospital.

METHODS: This study included a total of 371 patients with classic trigeminal neuralgia who underwent PBC surgery from January 2019 through May 2023. All patients received general anesthesia and underwent PBC surgery under radiographic guidance. In total, 170 patients underwent a puncture using the quadrant localization technique (Group Q), and 201 underwent a puncture using the conventional Hartel anterior approach (Group P).

RESULTS: Group Q demonstrated higher success rates for the first puncture and insertion of the balloon catheter, along with a lower total radiographic radiation dose, shorter surgical duration, and shorter hospital stay (P < 0.05). However, there were no significant differences in PBC success rates or the incidence of puncture-related side effects and complications between the 2 groups (P > 0.05).

LIMITATIONS: This study lacked information on long-term complications and pain recurrence rates. Also, single-center results may be influenced by institution-specific practices and physician-related biases.

CONCLUSION: In PBC surgery, the quadrant localization technique improves efficiency and reduces hospital stay compared with the conventional Hartel anterior approach, without increasing the risk of complications.

KEY WORDS: Classic trigeminal neuralgia, percutaneous balloon compression, puncture, quadrant localization technique, surgical side effects, surgical complications, retrospective study, balloon catheter, Hartel anterior approach
A Novel Ultrasonographic Method to Quickly and Accurately Access the C2 Dorsal Root Ganglion
Authors: Guan Zhonghui
Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND: Occipital neuralgia manifests as pain in the cutaneous distribution of occipital nerves, with the greater occipital nerve stemming from the C2 spinal nerve and the lesser occipital nerve originating from the C2 and C3 spinal nerves. While pulsed radiofrequency ablation of the C2 dorsal root ganglion (DRG) is an effective treatment for refractory occipital neuralgia, accessing the C2 DRG remains a clinical challenge even under fluoroscopic guidance.

OBJECTIVE: We aimed to develop an ultrasonographic method for quickly and accurately accessing the C2 DRG.

STUDY DESIGN: This is a prospective, observational cohort study.

SETTING: Our study was conducted in the Department of Pain Management, Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China.

METHODS: Unlike the C3-C8 foramina, which are ventral to the corresponding facet joints, the C2 foramen is positioned more posteriorly, dorsal to the C1-C2 atlantoaxial joint and longitudinally aligns with the cervical facet joints of C2-C3 and C3-C4. This unique anatomical feature allowed us to rapidly identify the C2 foramen in the sonographic longitudinal-axis view, what we call the “Stage-light Sign.” Further exposure of the C2 DRG in the oblique-axis view we call the “Turtle Sign.” The following procedural parameters were prospectively obtained: the time required to identify the C2 DRG target, the time needed to reach the target from the point of skin puncture, the number of puncture attempts required to reach the target, and the minimum sensory testing voltage to evoke paresthesia responses in the cutaneous occipital nerve distributions. Clinical outcomes were assessed by serial pain severity using the Numeric Rating Scale at baseline and up to 3 months post the C2 DRG pulsed radiofrequency ablation procedure.

RESULTS: The correct placement of the needle tip was initially confirmed with fluoroscopy, with the injected contrast medium distributed along the C2 spinal nerve. Importantly, electrical sensory stimulation elicited paresthesia in the headache area in all patients, with the required voltage being 0.35 ± 0.02 V. Furthermore, treatment outcomes supported the correct needle tip position, as pulsed radiofrequency ablation treatment led to sustained pain reduction. It took 36.2 ± 2.2 seconds to obtain the final “TurtleSign” view of the C2 DRG. Once the target was identified, it required a single puncture attempt to reach it, with a duration of 36.3 ± 2.5 seconds from puncturing the skin to reaching the target.

Limitation: We only followed patients for up to 3 months postprocedure.

CONCLUSION: We have developed an ultrasonographic method to quickly and accurately access the C2 DRG, which has the potential to greatly facilitate treating the C2 DRG for managing occipital neuralgia.

KEY WORDS: Occipital neuralgia, ultrasound, C2 dorsal root ganglion, C2 foramen, pulsed radiofrequency ablation, longitudinal-axis view, oblique-axis view, needle insertion
A CRIMINOLOGIA CRÍTICA E OS CONFLITOS AGRÁRIOS: RESISTÊNCIA DOS MOVIMENTOS SOCIAIS DE LUTA PELA TERRA
Authors: Silva Karla Karoline Rodrigues , Rosero Álvaro Mauricio Chamorro
Published: January 2025

A questão agrária no Brasil evidencia um sistema jurídico que privilegia grandes proprietários em detrimento das populações vulneráveis, intensificando a concentração fundiária e a violência nos conflitos rurais. O estudo utiliza o método dedutivo, partindo da análise geral da atuação dos movimentos sociais de luta pela terra, associado à criminologia crítica, para examinar como esses sujeitos são percebidos na sociedade. Também recorre à análise documental, com base em dados e estatísticas da Comissão Pastoral da Terra (CPT).  Tem-se como objetivo geral analisar, sob a ótica da criminologia crítica, os mecanismos de criminalização e exclusão enfrentados pelos movimentos sociais rurais no Brasil. Os objetivos específicos são: a) investigar a questão agrária e as formas de resistência dos movimentos sociais na luta pelo acesso à terra; b) examinar como a criminologia crítica explica a perpetuação da violência nos conflitos agrários e c) identificar a seletividade nas violências direcionadas aos sujeitos do campo, especialmente integrantes dos movimentos sociais. À luz da criminologia crítica, os integrantes dos movimentos sociais são tratados como “bodes expiatórios” de um sistema que perpetua a concentração fundiária. Estigmatizados como “invasores”, são deslegitimados em suas reivindicações por reforma agrária, reforçando a exclusão e a violência estrutural no campo brasileiro.

Authors: M. Jebur Yousif
Published: January 2025

The Hexagon OBTI test is a commercial kit made for the purpose of forensically identifying human blood. The test process is straightforward and does not need for a lab environment. To reduce between-sampling variation, all samples (blood) were taken from the researcher, a healthy male who was 33 at the time of collection. Blood thinners were created using liquid blood supplies and deionized water in the following dilutions: 1:10, 1:100, 1:1000, 1:100,000, 1:1,000,000, 1:10000000, and 1:100000000. The samples were analyzed by Hexagon OBTI and Kastel-Meyer, and the findings of both tests were positive up to a dilution of 1:1000 in the case of the former and 1:1000000 in the case of the latter. The result was a more sensitive OBTI test than Kastel-Meyer , the OBTI test is therefore suitable for identification of human blood at crime scenes

In the study, 50 patients and 50 healthy controls were gathered. Periodontal evaluations were performed on all individuals. The following clinical indicators were noted in order to assess the periodontal health of the patients: pocket depth, bleeding on probe (BOP), and approximate plaque index (API). Using the PCR technique, the presence of P. gingivalis was determined in samples from gum pockets.
Biosynthesis Silver nanoparticles by using Supernatant staphylococcus epidermidis and antibacterial Activity of resistant pathogenic bacteria
Authors: Daood Nisreen , Abdel Qader Maitham
Published: January 2025

Nanotechnology is a contemporary technological field that emerged towards the conclusion of the twentieth century. This technique gained widespread recognition and played a pivotal role due to its capacity to effectively address the challenges encountered by medications, namely by enhancing absorption and disintegration. Furthermore, the importance of stability and accurate distribution of therapy to the intended site has been emphasized by (1) ; (2). Nanotechnology refers to the manipulation and fabrication of particles that are smaller than 100 nanometers in size (3) in order to enhance the surface area. The area-to-volume ratio facilitates chemical interactions between individual atoms (4). The present work used a bacterial filtrate derived from Staphylococcus epidermidis bacterium and silver nitrate. The GC-Ms analysis of the bacterial isolate extract identified many highly concentrated active chemicals, including methyl phenyl sulfoxide, 2, 3 Friedelin, and 1, 3, 5-triphenylcyclohexane.
 The UV-visible light spectrum of silver nanoparticles showed the highest absorbance peak at wavelength 416. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed four peaks at levels 111, 200, 220, and 311. The Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) spectrum of the extracellular bacterial filtrate and the resulting silver particles showed several bands in the range 500-4000 cm-1, which indicate O-H groups for alcoholic and phenolic compounds, N-H groups for amino acids, C=C for alkanes, and S= O belongs to sulfur compounds. Field-Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FSEM) showed that silver nanoparticles are located within a nanoscale orbit. Their sizes reached 37.78-61.29 nanometers, with an average of 19.75 nanometers. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), which accompanies the scanning electron microscope examination, recorded the weight percentage of silver as equal to 88%.
Silver nanoparticles manufactured from the extract of Staphylococcus epidermidis bacteria were effective against multi-antibiotic-resistant pathogenic isolates. Staphylococcus aureus bacteria were more resistant, with an average diameter of inhibition of 11.11 mm. While Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria were more sensitive, with an average diameter of inhibition of 14.57 mm, the concentration of 200 µg/ml was the most effective.

Since their discovery, diazepines have been essential derivatives that can be found in nature or synthesized in laboratories. We synthesized a new diazepine (4-6), namely 2-[4-(4-chlorophenyl)-2,5-dihydro-1H-1,5-benzodiazepin-2-yl]phenol (4), 2-(4-{2-[(dioxo-l6-sulfanyl)oxy]phenyl}-2,5-dihydro-1H-1,5-benzodiazepin-2-yl)phenol (5), and 2-[4-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,5-benzodiazepin-2-yl]benzene-1,3-diol (6). These derivatives are synthesized from 2-hydroxy acetophenone with aldehyde derivatives, such as 4-chlorobenzaldehyde, 2-sulfobenzaldehyde, and 2,6-dihydroxybenzaldehyde. The chalcone compounds reacted with 2,4-diaminobenzene to form their final derivatives (4–6). Characterization of these derivatives by FTIR and 1H-NMR The diffusion method determines how these derivatives interact with various bacteria, such as Bacillus subtilis, S. aureus, and E. coli. The sulphonyl group in derivative 5 increase biological activity more other derivatives 4 and 6. The van der waals (vdw radius) for each atom were 1.20, 1.52, 1.70, and 11.80 for H, O, C and S atoms that calculate by used pymol.

Background: This study compares the efficacy, safety, and resource utilization of brachial plexus + cutaneous nerve blocks (RAG) versus conventional anesthesia (CAG) in patients undergoing clavicle fracture surgeries. Methods: A total of 100 patients were enrolled and equally divided into the RAG (n=50) and CAG (n=50) groups. Baseline characteristics, intraoperative and postoperative outcomes, postoperative complications, length of hospital stay, and resource utilization were evaluated. Pain control was assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and patient satisfaction was measured with a satisfaction score. Results: Baseline characteristics were comparable between the groups. Significant differences were observed in postoperative pain control, with the RAG group demonstrating lower VAS scores at all postoperative intervals (p < 0.001). Patient satisfaction was significantly higher in the RAG group (9.5 ± 0.8 vs. 8.3 ± 1.3, p < 0.001). Although no significant differences were found in respiratory depression, nausea, or wound infections, the RAG group showed trends toward reduced nausea and prolonged recovery. The RAG group also had a significantly shorter length of hospital stay (2.8 ± 0.7 days vs. 3.4 ± 1.0 days, p < 0.01) and reduced supplemental analgesic use (20% vs. 50%, p < 0.001). Ultrasonographic guidance was used in 80% of RAG cases. Conclusion: Brachial plexus and cutaneous nerve blocks provide superior postoperative pain control, greater patient satisfaction, and shorter recovery times compared to conventional anesthesia. These advantages, coupled with reduced reliance on supplemental analgesics, make regional anesthesia a more efficient and cost-effective option for clavicle fracture surgeries. Ultrasonographic guidance may further enhance the application of this technique in clinical practice.

Published: January 2025

Background: Thoracic aortic pseudoaneurysms due to Salmonella infection are rare but life-threatening complications. Early diagnosis and effective treatment are essential to improve patient outcomes. Case presentation: We report an 82-year-old man with a history of multiple comorbidities who presented with symptoms of systemic infection, including fever and weight loss. The diagnosis was confirmed by urine and blood cultures and imaging studies, which revealed an abdominal aortic pseudoaneurysm secondary to Salmonella enterica serotype enteritidis. Intervention: The patient underwent endovascular aortic repair with a stent graft. Despite the complexity of the case due to the patient's critical condition, the procedure was successfully performed with a nearly complete exclusion of the pseudoaneurysm. Post-operative management included a prolonged course of antibiotics and monitoring for potential complications. Outcomes: The patient experienced a gradual improvement in his overall condition, with follow-up imaging showing progressive occlusion of the pseudoaneurysm. After three months he was asymptomatic and subsequent CT scans confirmed stable stent position and satisfactory aortic flow. Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of timely intervention for Salmonella-related pseudoaneurysms, especially in high-risk patients. Endovascular repair is a viable alternative to traditional surgical methods and offers a less invasive option for patients with significant comorbidities.

An “appropriate” education for a practice-based evidence approach in design education
Authors: Branzaglia Carlo
Published: January 2025

Design occupies a space between theory and practice, strategy and tactics, discipline and craft. Its approach is now applied across a wide range of formulas and contexts. To maintain its ability to engage with reality, design must adopt an interpretation that manages increasingly complex models, while suggesting future educational frameworks. The objective of design is to practically intervene to modify reality, which makes its disciplinary dimensions somewhat ambiguous: It is rich in tools but lacks the foundational axioms of a discipline. A transdisciplinary perspective can be valuable in developing a reliable model and an affordable methodology. However, this perspective must be built on areas of knowledge in which the practical activity complements the theoretical evidence; that is, fields where the engagement with the public (both collectively and individually) is strong. Therefore, a stimulus can come from personal care practices such as medicine, psychology, or pedagogy. In these areas, recurring patterns (or, better, Gestalt) can help shape an anthropological dimension, one that reflects the contextual and functional nature of design.

Ephrin type-B receptor 2 (EphB2) is a member of the Eph family tyrosine kinase receptors. EphB2 binds to ephrin-B1, ephrin-B2, and ephrin-B3, which are critical regulators of vascular and neural development, influencing cell migration and axon guidance. EphB2 is overexpressed in several tumors, including glioma, breast cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, and malignant mesothelioma, where it functions as a tumor promoter. Therefore, the development of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) targeting EphB2 is essential for the diagnosis and treatment of EphB2-positive tumors. In this study, we developed novel mAbs for human EphB2 using the Cell-Based Immunization and Screening method. Among the established anti-EphB2 mAbs, Eb2Mab-12 (mouse IgG1, kappa) showed reactivity toward EphB2-overexpressed Chinese hamster ovary-K1 cells (CHO/EphB2) and an endogenously EphB2-expressing cancer cell line (LS174T), as confirmed by flow cytometry. The dissociation constant (KD) values of Eb2Mab-12 for CHO/EphB2 and LS174T were determined to be 1.7 × 10−9 M and 4.4 × 10−10 M, respectively, using flow cytometry. Furthermore, Eb2Mab-12 exhibited no cross-reactivity with other members of the EphA and EphB receptors. These results indicate that Eb2Mab-12 possesses high affinity and specificity in detecting EphB2, suggesting its potential application in tumor therapy.

The aims of this study were to investigate relationships between the angular velocity of the lower limb and the foot velocity during instep and toe-poke kicking and to compare the angular velocity of the lower limb and the foot velocity between instep and toe-poke kicking. Twelve semi-professional futsal players were recruited in this study. Each participant performed instep and toe-poke kicking with the dominant limb to the ball which placed at a kick point (second penalty) of 10m distances from the goal and hit the target (1x1 m), which was centered between the goalposts. Kicking was randomly assigned for each participant and recorded by 6 infrared cameras at 200 Hz. The results found that hip angular velocity was significantly correlated with the foot velocity, similar to knee angular velocity and the foot velocity during instep and toe-poke. Hip angular velocity was significantly different between instep and toe-poke (p<0.05). Toe-poke kicking (6.64±0.88 rad/s) recorded higher hip angular velocity than instep kicking (5.68±4.10 rad/s). In conclusion, the angular velocity of the lower limb and the foot velocity were important factors for the ball velocity. Toe-poke was a more successful goal scoring maneuver than instep. However, there were other important factors affecting the ball velocity and accuracy, which was the position of foot-to-ball contact. When futsal players have experienced kicking with instep and toe-poke, they can decide and adjust their skills appropriately in competitive games.

VIP/Hospitality event packages- using online reviews to improve the ticket purchase journey map
Authors: Fry Jonathan , Fuller-Love Nerys , Owen Roger
Published: January 2025

An enhanced online purchase journey map for VIP (Very Important Person)/hospitality packages is proposed where customisation is advocated to improve customer purchase experiences and mitigate frustrations. Marketing premium experiences with higher prices vs face-value tickets increases consumer expectations which may result in reputational consequences for organisations via reviews. Exploratory mixed methods were initiated by a qualitative analysis of online reviews of two hospitality event ticketing companies. The most common themes established were customer service, expectations, booking/payment process, pricing and value for money. Online survey findings (n=312) of sports and entertainment consumers established the main ticketing frustrations as additional fees, online queuing and time to complete the order. The first managerial implication is that event organisations could adopt the methodology of linking online review analysis with journey mapping and enhance with consumer focus groups regarding proposed changes. Secondly, organisational internal ownership measures within the journey map could be implemented.

Dynamics of the activities of construction sector enterprises
Authors: LOPATKA Serhii
Published: January 2025

The paper characterizes the features of the activities of construction sector enterprises. Structural shifts in the construction sector reflect the complex economic, political, and social processes occurring in the country. In the current conditions, characterized by economic instability, constant changes in the regulatory and legal environment, integration into the European economic space, and the impact of military actions, construction enterprises are forced to adapt to new challenges and transform their approaches to business operations.
The dynamics of the volumes of construction products produced by type from 2014 to 2023 have been determined. Given the importance of the construction sector for the restoration of infrastructure and housing stock, the government is actively implementing support programs, including funding large infrastructure projects, subsidizing housing construction for internally displaced persons, and restoring critical infrastructure facilities, which was reflected in the growth of volumes in 2023. There is also a strengthening of regulatory control to ensure transparency in public procurement and the licensing of construction activities.
The distribution of the volumes of construction products produced by the type of construction has been carried out. Changes in the indices of construction products by types have been analyzed, particularly residential, non-residential buildings, and engineering structures. From 2011 to 2023, significant fluctuations in the construction product indices were observed. The largest decline in building construction occurred in 2022, which is related to the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine, active combat operations, and a decrease in investment activity.
It has been established that the adaptation of construction enterprises to changes in demand is based on flexible responses to the needs of infrastructure construction, the use of government programs, while maintaining activity depends on further economic stabilization, investment support, and security.
