Riesgo de complicaciones posteriores a la cirugía oral y maxilofacial en personas que viven con VIH: protocolo de una revisión sistemática
Authors: Kiener Espoz Maximiliano , Molina Telléz Cristóbal , Veloso Casado Valentina , Ramos Rojas José Tomás
Published: December 2024

Introducción: La infección por VIH y su progresión a SIDA han tenido un gran impacto global. En 2023, había 39,9 millones de personas viviendo con VIH y 1,3 millones de nuevas infecciones. En América Latina, los casos nuevos aumentaron un 21% entre 2010 y 2019. El VIH destruye los linfocitos CD4+, aumentando el riesgo de infecciones oportunistas y cánceres. La OMS define la enfermedad avanzada por VIH como un recuento de CD4+ inferior a 200 células/mm³. Aunque la terapia antirretroviral ha mejorado la sobrevida y morbilidad de las personas con VIH, aún hay desafíos en el manejo de complicaciones. En países desarrollados, las complicaciones orales han disminuido, pero en países en desarrollo siguen siendo comunes. La literatura sobre complicaciones quirúrgicas en personas que conviven con VIH es escasa y no concluyente, y las guías clínicas actuales se basan en opiniones de expertos. Objetivo: Esta revisión sistemática busca determinar si existe una asociación entre vivir con VIH y el riesgo de complicaciones tras la cirugía oral y maxilofacial. Metodología: Se incluirán estudios comparativos que evalúen la prevalencia de complicaciones de cirugía oral y maxilofacial en personas que conviven con VIH. La síntesis de datos se realizará mediante una síntesis narrativa y tablas descriptivas, y la evaluación de la certeza de la evidencia se hará con el enfoque GRADE. Resultado esperado: Esta revisión proporcionará información crucial para decisiones clínicas y políticas, e identificará áreas para futuras investigaciones. Las complicaciones esperadas incluyen alveolitis, hemorragia, absceso de espacios faciales, parestesia, equimosis, hematoma y fractura.
Bio-inspired Approaches for G-protein coupled receptors identification using Chou’s PseAAC
Authors: Alem Karima , Zekri Meriem , Souici-Meslati Labiba
Published: December 2024

Background: G–protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are key factors in cell-to-cell communication. GPCR activation is necessary for normal physiology of all organisms while dysfunction of GPCR signalling is responsible for many of the diseases. Consequently, GPCRs have a fundamental role in pharmacological research and are targets for many drugs. Objective: The problem is that many GPCRs remain orphans (have unknown function), they are not classified correctly, and new bioinformatics approaches are needed to address this issue. In our work, we focus on bio-inspired approaches, which are increasingly used in recent years because of their interesting inspirations from biological systems mechanisms and their good performances in many research areas. Methods: In this article, we use categories of bio-inspired well-known methods to identify GPCR function, which are swarm-based approaches and immunological computing. The proposed classifiers based on three popular swarm intelligence approaches are Ant Colony Optimization (ACO), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and PSO/ACO hybridization. The classification results are compared with these of the proposed immunological classifier based on the Artificial Immune Recognition System (AIRS), in order to identify the best bio-inspired method for the given problem. Results: The immune classifier (AIRS2) provided better results than swarm-based classifiers, specifically at the first levels (superfamily and families) Conclusion: It is interesting to adapt the bio-inspired algorithms in order to increase predictive accuracy at all GPCR hierarchical levels
Evaluation of a Probabilistic Framework for Traffic Volume Forecasting Using Deep Learning and Traditional Models
Authors: Tripathi Abhay Narayan , Sharma Bharti
Published: December 2024

Forecasting is a very important issue in the present times to optimize urban traffic management systems and their proper planning. It is often found that traditional forecasting models cannot fully approximate the non-linear and dynamic nature of traffic patterns. The presented paper proposes a framework that integrates multiple traditional models such as Autoregression (AR), Support Vector Regression (SVR), Exponential Smoothing, Historical Average, Random Walk and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) with deep learning models, especially Stacked Autoencoders, and enhances their predictive efficiency phenomenally. The forecast accuracy is then further enhanced through a dynamic probabilistic model integration strategy that adapts to real-time traffic conditions by dynamically weighting the models based on their performance. It is found that the hybrid framework proposed in the present paper performs much better than the traditional models in predicting traffic volume. Deep learning models with RMSE of 26.9976, AR (RMSE: 22.6679) and SVR (RMSE: 28.2221) provided remarkable prediction accuracy. Based on the results, the authors are confident that the integrated models are useful for real-time traffic management applications. However, they still have great potential for further refinement and optimization.

Authors: Saini Sonal , Singh Ajay Shanker , Katiyar Alok
Published: December 2024

In recent years, chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been widespread in public health. Therefore, the early prediction of these diseases can save many lives. Keeping this fact in mind, this study presents a new way to predict CKD using regression modeling, aiming to improve early detection and save lives. For this purpose, the first authors collected the data of 104 patients, then re-arranged them in ten different parameters and calculated their scores. Thereafter, a composite CATH score is calculated as an output variable. Then, a suitable regression model will be identified based on various parameters such as R-squared, Adjusted R-squared, and PRESS values. Thereafter, to identify the significance of the selected model, the authors performed an Analysis of Variances (ANOVA) at a confidence interval of <0.05. Results revealed that the developed model has a higher degree of fitness and is suitable for prediction purposes. Finally, the authors performed parameter analysis to identify the effects of various parameters on CKD.

Published: December 2024

Objective: The aim of the study was to assess knowledge among primary healthcare (PHC) physicians about asthma in Iraq.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted in Iraq. Data were collected from 400 physicians who completed the electronic asthma training course for four weeks starting in March 2023. This study used aconvenience sampling technique via email from participating physicians. A 15-item questionnaire based on the National Asthma Guideline for Primary Care Physicians was used to assess their knowledge about asthma. The Mann–Whitney test was used to compare knowledge scores based on gender, prior training in chronic respiratory disorders, and a personal history of bronchial asthma. The Kruskal–Wallis test was used to compare knowledge scores depending on the specialty and years of practice as a PHC doctor.

Results: The mean age of the participating doctors was 32.5 years, 67.9% were female, and 32.1% were male. Overall, the participants’ knowledge score was poor at less than 70%. The Mann–Whitney test revealed no significant difference in the knowledge scores of the participating physicians depending on their gender, previous asthma training, or personal history of bronchial asthma. A significant difference was found when comparing the knowledge scores of participating physicians depending on their specialty and duration of practice as a PHC doctor.

Conclusion: This study showed that PHC physicians’ knowledge about asthma based on the recommended national guidelines of Iraq was poor. Further research is required to examine the parameters associated with improving both understanding of asthma and compliance with the guidelines.

Multi-vector Approach in the Foreign Policy of the Post-Soviet Countries: Current Issues and Trends
Authors: Katagoshchina M. V. , Komleva V. V. , Kuzmenko E. A. , Shein S. A.
Published: December 2024

Multi-vectorism as a principle of foreign policy has been implemented by the CIS countries since the mid-1990s. Over 30 years, experience has been accumulated that allows us to judge the basis of real policy and multi-vectorism as a discourse in the information field. The attitude towards multi-vectorism in the foreign policy of the post-Soviet countries is very different, ranging from purely positive (mainly from the country’s political experts) to extremely skeptical (the Russian political science school). The article presents the results of the expert session of the Center for Research of International Humanitarian Communications of the Patrice Lumumba RUDN University “Multi-vectorism in Foreign Policy: Current Problems”, which took place on October 8, 2024 and discussed the problems of multi-vectorism: what are the limits of multi-vectorism as a means of maneuvering of post-Soviet political elites in the context of the emerging multipolar model of international relations, are common rules of the game possible for countries of different economic importance, what is the significance of situational alliances and temporary coalitions in the context of multi-vectorism. Based on the results of the discussion, the researchers came to the conclusion that multi-vectorism is an effective tactical resource of major playersmoderators, leaders of integration associations and military blocs, used to achieve strategic objectives in the areas of memorial policy, macro-regional security, humanitarian and economic cooperation. With such a balance of forces, middle-level countries risk becoming led and controlled objects of foreign policy ambitions of third countries.
Left-wing Populists Internet-discourse in France as a Self-representation before the European Parliament Elections in 2024
Authors: Myasnikov A. I.
Published: December 2024

The article analyzes the Internet discourse of left-wing populists in France as their representation in the run-up to the 2024 European Parliament elections (using the example of the Unbowed France movement). Modern politics increasingly relies on Internet technologies that form communication channels between political forces and influence their interaction. Thus, Internet communication between activists of various parties and movements during the pre-election period has become an integral part of the political struggle in France. The electoral successes of right-wing populism in France, represented by M.Le Pen, have led to increased interest in the study of this phenomenon. At the same time, the topic of left-wing populism, support for which has also increased during the last electoral cycles in France, has not yet been sufficiently studied in domestic political science. The methodology of the study is based on the analysis of the discourses of E.Laclau and Ch.Mouffe – identifying the antagonism of discourses, determining the nodal points and socio-political contradictions that led to the statements of left-wing populists. Based on the theory of P.Ibarra and J.Kitsuse, the main rhetorical strategies of left-wing populists are determined. The study has theoretical and practical significance for the academic community and specialists in the field of socio-political parties and movements. The work may be of interest to researchers of contemporary socio-political life in France.

Published: December 2024

Background: By addressing the clinical and social determinants of health within a specific population, population health management (PHM) is a new approach that seeks to improve health outcomes. The strategy, which is backed by technology and data analytics, places an emphasis on prevention, proactive care, and collaboration across healthcare institutions. Further research on PHM's tactics, results, and implications for nursing and health administration is necessary since, despite its transformative potential, its integration into healthcare delivery is still unequal. Aim: this paper is to critically analyze PHM's tenets, procedures, and results, with an emphasis on how it affects the provision of healthcare. In particular, it discusses the role of social determinants of health in attaining equality in care and examines the contributions made by nursing and health administration to the implementation and optimization of PHM frameworks. Methods: Using peer-reviewed research and case studies from high-impact publications, a thorough literature evaluation was carried out. Value-based care models and the Triple Aim were among the PHM frameworks that were examined. The focus was on determining the main results, obstacles, and enablers of effective PHM implementation.
Minimizing Radiation Exposure in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit: A Quality Improvement Approach on X-Ray Practices
Authors: Ryu Jae Hui , Shin Seung Han , Choi Young Hun , Kim Ee-Kyung , Kim Han-Suk
Published: December 2024

Purpose: Radiographic examinations are frequently performed for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). However, concerns are emerging regarding the safety of radiation exposure, especially in vulnerable preterm infants in periods of rapid cellular division. This quality improvement (QI) project aimed to reduce radiation hazards in level-IV NICU.Methods: We established an "X-ray prescription protocol" and educated the physicians to ensure that only essential radiographs were obtained. Additionally, we discouraged full-body infantograms and emphasized the prescription of targeted radiographs, such as chest or abdominal radiographs. Furthermore, to reduce the dose-area product (DAP, Gy·cm2) values, which act as a surrogate for radiation exposure, we provided training to radiologic technologists on meticulous collimation for each radiography session. We aimed to achieve a 30% reduction in the average monthly cumulative DAP per patient, which was calculated by dividing the total monthly DAP from radiographs in the NICU by the monthly average of patient admissions. Retrospective baseline data were collected 8 months pre-intervention and prospectively for 4 months post-interventions.Results: The average monthly X-ray count per patient was 28.3 in the pre-intervention period (October 2022 to May 2023), which decreased to 25.4 in the post-intervention period (June 2023 to September 2023), reflecting a 10.2% reduction (p=0.109). The average monthly infantogram count per patient showed an 18.0% reduction (25.9% to 21.2%, p=0.016), and the proportion of infantograms in the total X-ray counts decreased from 91.5% to 83.3% (p=0.017). The DAP value per X-ray decreased by 42.6%, from an average of 0.25 to 0.14 (p=0.011). The primary outcome, the average monthly cumulative DAP value per patient, showed a substantial reduction of 48.6%, dropping from 7.00 to 3.60 (p=0.004). The baseline characteristics and short-term morbidities of the patients did not differ significantly between the pre- and post-intervention period.Conclusion: Our QI approach, which included discouraging excessive prescriptions of infantograms and promoting optimal collimation, significantly reduced the average monthly radiation exposure in the NICU, benefiting both patients and healthcare workers.
Correlation between Blood Pressure and Left Ventricular Function in Neonates: A Retrospective Observational Study
Authors: Lee Na Mi , Yu Na Li , Yi Dae Yong , Yun Sin Weon , Chae Soo Ahn , Kang Hyun
Published: December 2024

Purpose: Ejection fraction, measured as the fraction of blood ejected from the ventricle in each heartbeat using M-mode echocardiography, serves as a primary indicator of left ventricular systolic function. This study explores the correlation between blood pressure and left ventricular systolic function in neonates using M-mode echocardiography.Methods: Neonates who underwent echocardiography in the neonatal intensive care unit between January 2011 and December 2020 were retrospectively studied.Results: Our analyses showed a significant association between ejection fraction and systolic blood pressure, but not with diastolic or mean blood pressure—both of which are more sensitive to hypotension. Ejection fraction was also not significantly associated with heart rate, urine output, or inotropic support in this study, suggesting that factors influencing urine output may not directly relate to ejection fraction. Additionally, we found that higher systolic blood pressure was correlated with advanced gestational age, the absence of patent ductus arteriosus, and no need for fentanyl administration. Notably, lower gestational age and lack of mechanical ventilation were both associated with increased hourly urine output, suggesting that developmental maturity and respiratory stability may influence renal function.Conclusion: Neonatal hypotension occurred secondary to decreased systolic cardiac function and peripheral vascular resistance. Neonatologists should carefully monitor the individual components of blood pressure and prescribe medications accordingly, considering that systolic blood pressure is correlated with ejection function.
Contra la interpretación de Jon Stewart sobre «Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius» y la filosofía de Berkeley
Authors: Prado Velásquez Alvaro Antonio
Published: December 2024

Este trabajo es una crítica al artículo del filósofo contemporáneo Jon Stewart, titulado: Borges and the Refutation of Idealism: A Study of «Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius». En dicho artículo se desarrolla una interpretación kantiana del cuento de Borges «Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius» como si fuera una refutación literaria de la filosofía de Berkeley, análoga a la supuesta refutación de la misma que Kant se adjudica. A este respecto, nos proponemos refutar cada una de las supuestas contradicciones e incoherencias que Stewart identifica en la filosofía de Berkeley y, así, demostrar que el cuento de Borges no es una refutación de ella.
Ensayo sobre la libertad en prisión y una dialéctica del tiempo
Authors: Guzmán Laureano , Sánchez Fernando
Published: December 2024

El presente ensayo se propone examinar cómo los individuos en contextos de confinamiento carcelario - quienes han contribuido activamente en el desarrollo de esta investigación - pueden no solo experimentar la libertad de manera gradual, sino también producir libertad creadora a través de un proceso dialéctico en relación con su pasado, presente y futuro; y cómo este último –al que le daremos una mayor preponderancia– tiene como elemento inherente el potencial de transformar ontológicamente su existencia. Para ello, nos basamos en tres tesis fundamentales: la idea de "libertad" en Jean-Paul Sartre, el "hombre histórico" en Friedrich Nietzsche y el concepto de "ser de lejanías" de Vicente Fatone. La imbricación de estas perspectivas permite comprender cómo una persona en un entorno de confinamiento puede desarrollar una libertad ontológica que trasciende las limitaciones ónticas y deterministas de su situación, modificando su ser y proyectándose hacia un futuro distinto.
rol de la figura de la mujer en la filosofía constructivista de Nietzsche.
Authors: Brun Rocio Marisol
Published: December 2024

Examinaremos aquí una interpretación del pensamiento de Friedrich Nietzsche, a menudo considerado misógino, que sugiere una lectura alternativa en la que se resalta la importancia de la figura de la mujer en su filosofía. Ciertos fragmentos de Nietzsche encuentran relación entre determinado tipo de figura de mujer con su noción de verdad y conocimiento, enriqueciendo su perspectivismo. Nuestra hipótesis de trabajo es que esto trae aparejado, a su vez, una afirmación de la vida. En otras palabras, sostenemos que la mencionada relación entre la figura de la mujer y la noción de verdad tiene un impacto directo y no menor en la filosofía del pensador alemán porque, a partir de una serie elementos y características que tiene la mujer, es posible reconstruir la noción de una verdad vitalista desde una afirmación no solo de lo femenino, sino que también —y justamente por ello— de la diferencia, la multiplicidad y la corporalidad como fundamentos de la construcción de un conocimiento vitalista.

FORENSIC IMPLICATIONS OF CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME IN RELATION TO RADIOLOGICAL AND ORHOPEDITION
Authors: RASOOL R , AFZAL H , NOONARI MA , KUMAR P , RAJPAR S , IMRAN S
Published: December 2024

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common peripheral neuropathy with significant clinical and forensic implications. The condition is characterized by compression of the median nerve within the carpal tunnel, leading to pain, tingling, and functional impairment. Accurate diagnosis is crucial not only for clinical management but also for forensic evaluations, especially in cases of occupational claims and medico-legal disputes. Objective: The purpose of this research is to investigate the forensic consequences of carpal tunnel syndrome regarding radiographic and ophthalmic examinations. Methods: This prospective study included 180 individuals, aged 18 to 65 years, of both genders. This study was conducted at the Department of Forensic Medicine LUMHS from January 2023 to June 2023. Group I comprised 90 patients diagnosed with CTS, while Group II included 90 individuals without CTS, serving as controls. Demographic data, including age, sex, and BMI, were recorded. CTS was confirmed using ultrasonographic and other diagnostic modalities. The cross-sectional area of the carpal tunnel at the pisiform (CSAp) and the carpal tunnel at the hook of the hamate (CSAc) was measured. Delta CSA was calculated as the difference between CSAc and CSAp. Sensitivity and specificity for CTS diagnosis were evaluated. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS Version 26.0. Results: The study found a predominance of females in both groups, with 63 (70%) females in Group I and 58 (64.4%) in Group II. The mean age in Group I was 47.34 ± 8.58 years with a mean BMI of 25.13 ± 10.49 kg/m², while Group II had a mean age of 49.53 ± 12.74 years and a BMI of 26.34 ± 11.61 kg/m². Group I demonstrated significantly higher CSAc values (18.5 ± 3.35 mm²) compared to Group II (9.8 ± 7.25 mm²; p < 0.004). The delta CSA was also higher in Group I (7.37 ± 8.32 mm²) compared to Group II (1.3 ± 2.13 mm²; p < 0.005). The CSAp values showed no significant differences between groups (Group I: 9.4 ± 3.6 mm²; Group II: 7.12 ± 9.6 mm²). A delta CSA threshold of 2 mm² demonstrated high diagnostic accuracy, yielding a sensitivity of 99.1% and specificity of 100% for Group I wrists.

This study delves into the analysis of bark texture images using deep learning methods to efficiently classify different wood species. With applications spanning from construction to furniture manufacturing, efficient and precise wood species classification is vital for effective forestry management and the timber trade. The research centers on a dataset featuring images of 50 distinct wood species, each characterized by unique texture patterns. Two deep learning models, Wide Residual Networks (WRN) and ConvNeXt, are employed and compared for their analysis purposes. Results consistently demonstrate WRN's superior performance, attributed to its architectural design and effective training strategy in capturing intricate texture patterns. Notably, WRN achieves impressive efficiency alongside high accuracy, precision, and recall rates of 97.23%, 97.29%, and 97.23%, respectively. WRN's success over the pre-processed dataset underscores its versatility and robustness in handling complex texture patterns. Overall, the study showcases the transformative potential of deep learning in revolutionizing tree species classification.

Forest destruction occurs due to low awareness in paying attention to the ecosystem, including illegal logging, theft of forest products, forest burning and poaching of forest animals. Efforts to conserve forests are carried out in various ways to arouse public awareness of the importance of forests for life. Forests will be threatened with destruction if the people living around the forest are not prosperous and are forced to destroy forests to meet their basic needs. A forest is a field of trees that as a whole is a communion of living organisms and their natural environment and which is designated by the government as a forest. Based on the provisions of Law Number 41 of 1999 concerning Forestry, the West Bali Forest Management Unit (FMU) is obliged to manage and regulate forest areas and products so that the forest areas in the Forest Management Unit in the West Bali FMU can be optimally useful. The author concludes as follows: first, the provisions on forest protection are contained in several Indonesian national legal instruments, including: 1. Law No. 41 of 1999 concerning Forestry Articles 49 & 50, Government Regulation No. 45 of 2004 concerning Forest Protection Article 10 paragraph (2) letter b, Government Regulation No. 4 of 2001 concerning the Control of Environmental Damage and Pollution related to forest and land fires and secondly in the context of forest protection in the UPTD area. The West Bali FMU is carried out through forest protection efforts, namely: Preemptive Efforts, Preventive Efforts, and Repressive Efforts.
