A review of advances in additive manufacturing and the integration of high-performance polymers, alloys, and their composites
Authors: Liu Yanting , Sing Swee Leong
Published: September 2023

In recent years, additive manufacturing (AM) has emerged as the most revolutionary technology in manufacturing, playing an indispensable role in many important areas due to its outstanding precision, ability to fabricate complex structures, and short production cycles. At the same time, the development of this technology has been accompanied by a constant search for materials suitable for it. These materials play important roles in the industry, have excellent properties but are difficult to process using traditional manufacturing methods, or are newly developed materials specifically for AM. While these explorations are being undertaken, attention to standards in the field will ensure that research is accelerated and on the right track. This paper presents each of the seven technique categories of AM. The focus of this paper is on the emerging materials for AM, such as polyetheretherketone, polyimide, high entropy alloys, and composites. Finally, international standards in the field of AM with perspectives on research in this area are also presented.
IT support services conceptual engagement model
Authors: Fahmy Tamer , Mullins Roisin
Published: September 2023

The Information Technology (IT) Support Engagement Conceptual Model was considered in light of IT service management (ITSM) frameworks, including the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) and the Service Support and Service Delivery (SSSD) models in addition to the Ansoff strategic planning model. The IT service growth strategies model proposes a standardized approach to frame the enterprise Business to Business (B2B) IT services growth strategies from operational efficiency, diversification, evaluation, and incubation. The model identifies the IT support service strategies and priorities by examining the product maturity and support service status in the organization. The IT Support Conceptual Engagement Model provides a standardized decision-making strategic framework to view the support service ‘onboarding’ decision-making criteria. This model proposes three service influencing constructs that are; impact, volume, and complexity, aligned with corporate strategy to govern the service delivery decision-making process. The main contribution of this paper is to introduce the IT Support Engagement Conceptual Model as a novel framework to explain how enterprises can capture, identify, and strategize opportunities to expand an organization’s IT services in line with the corporate objectives. The model recommends different approaches and strategies to deal with different impact, volume, and complexity influencing factors while catering to any organization’s nuanced factors.
On the Problems of Anthropogenous Forms
Authors: Loučková Jaroslava
Published: September 2023

Due to the growing human interference with the natural development of the earth's surface, the study of anthropogenous forms of the relief has become more and more important. This is especially the case in areas where raw materials are extracted on the surface, and consequently large quantities of overlying beds have to be transferred. Such accumulations of transferred material continuously disturb the character of the relief in these areas, whereas negative forms, i. e. quarries have gradually been filled up. Therefore, in the exploration of anthropogenous forms it is necessary to study refuse piles before all, and to consider especially the secondary denudation processes to which newly accumulated material is exposed, and which might make its recultivation difficult if not impossible. It is within the power of man to select the proper place as well as form for newly arising refuse piles so that they may not disturb the relief of the region. In Bohemia, the North Bohemian brown-coal district - which takes up a larger part of the Most and Sokolov Basins - may serve as an example of such transformed region. The area under investigation - in the vicinity of Teplice and Bílina - is situated in the north-eastern part of the brown-coal district. It displays almost all possible variations of anthropogenous forms, such as newly arising as well as older forms, partly or completely recultivated.

Authors: Jacoeb Joseph Ivan , Bernadus Realino Harjanto  , Tommy Nugroho Tanumihardja  , Joshua Kurniawan  , William Gilbert Satyanegara
Published: September 2023

Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (aSAH) is one of the challenging neurologic emergencies with a high mortality rate along with various permanent disabilities. In order to provide the patient with the most appropriate and accurate treatment, as well as to prevent further complications, a multidiscipline approach is required. This study aimed to review the various mechanisms, indications, management, and sedation of mechanical ventilation in aSAH, along with a review of prone positioning and acute respiratory distress management in aSAH. Although the main injured organ is the brain, aSAH also affects the respiratory system through various mechanisms. The usage of mechanical ventilation plays an important part in brain oxygenation and perfusion and helps prevent related complications. Levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood might play some roles in aSAH patients. No significant difference was found in using various sedative regimens. Prone positioning is indeed beneficial for the oxygenation of aSAH patients, provided that continuous monitoring is done. Blood glucose and calcium levels might be able to help predict the outcome of aSAH patients. Mechanical ventilation plays an important part in aSAH management. Clinicians must be aware of the impact of mechanical ventilation on neurological organs and the cardiopulmonary system. Balancing between oxygenation, ventilation, and sedation must be in line with aSAH condition. Several prognostic factors and tools can help predict aSAH mortality that might be able to help the clinician tailor aSAH management to their patient's needs.

Authors: Kalbouneh Ahmad Yousef , Shahin Loona , Aldabbas Kasem , Aburisheh Khaled
Published: September 2023

The present study endeavors to examine the correlation between CEO turnover and the financial performance of industrial firms in Jordan. The primary objective of this research is to assess how changes in the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) position affect the financial performance of an organization. This investigation encompasses three specific aspects by analyzing the timing of CEO turnover events in relation to key financial performance (FP) indicators, namely Return on Assets (ROA) and Return on Equity (ROE). Utilizing financial data collected from 33 firms between 2017 and 2021, a panel data regression analysis was conducted to reach meaningful conclusions. The results indicate a negative relationship between CEO turnover and FP, regardless of the timing of CEO dismissal, which highlights the low tolerance for poor performance in industrial firms in Jordan. Furthermore, the study found that ROE serves as a more accurate predictor of CEO turnover compared to ROA. Based on these findings, the study formulates several conclusions and recommendations, as well as potential directions for future research.

Authors:   Far Eastern Branch, Russian State University of Justice, Khabarovsk, Russia, Ornatskaya Tatiana A.
Published: September 2023

The system of domestic education, including legal education, has been in a state of transformation since the early 1990s. Copying the Western structure, returning to the origins of the domestic education system of the younger generation, have not yet formed clear trajectories of further movement among the representatives of the leadership of the educational system of the Russian Federation. In our opinion, in order to understand the processes currently taking place and predict the directions of development of domestic legal education in new conditions, it is important to study the experience of the transformation of legal education during the change of the form of the state in Russia, in the conditions of radical political transformations, the construction of the Soviet legal system. The presented article highlights the problems of the formation of the training of specialists of the judicial system of the Far East. The authors, using archival material, reveal the process of completing courses, pay attention to the academic disciplines taught, report on the problems of students’ academic performance. The results of the functioning of the course system for judges of the Far East, which operated in the 1920s, are summarized. The authors come to the conclusion that the systemic disintegration of the structure of social and political life created by October 1917 the prerequisites for the beginning of revolutionary events and marked the transition from one paradigm to another, characterized by a change in the state structure, ideology, political, economic and social relations. The educational space, being a part of public life, is generated on the basis of a set of ideological and state attitudes, therefore it has also been involved in the transformation process. The establishment of Soviet power in the Far Eastern region contributed to the opening of prospects for the development of legal education in the period under study. Despite the Bolsheviks’ rejection of the right of the Russian Empire, a new legal concept was gradually emerging, forming and developing. On its basis, the entire system of legal training of specialists for the Soviet judicial authorities was transformed.
Рreliminary Agreement and Related Contractual Constructions
Authors:   Russian State University of Justice, Moscow, Russia, Kirillova Anastasia O.
Published: September 2023

The article is devoted to identifying similarities and differences between a preliminary agreement and related legal structures (framework agreement, smart contract, option). For these purposes, the author analyzes the preliminary contract, the framework contract, the smart contract, as a result of which, as well as on the basis of the comparative method and the modeling method, he comes to the conclusion that the structures of the option, the framework contract are duplicated in relation to the preliminary contract, at the same time proving that this shortcoming can be eliminated by reforming the preliminary contract. The author concludes that a preliminary contract is a generalized concept that includes various legal relations aimed at their organization in the future, necessary to generate certain legal consequences, in particular legal relations associated with the conclusion of the main contract. In this regard, the article formulated a proposal on the possibility of creating a single special contractual structure of a preliminary contract, combining the features of an option and a framework contract. In addition, the article formulates recommendations on supplementing the current legislation with norms on the possibility of concluding a preliminary contract in blockchain-based systems.

Conclusions. The author comes to the conclusion that the main trends in the humanization of modern Russian criminal justice are the formation of a stable judicial practice of widespread use of preventive measures alternative to detention; the development of compromise and alternative ways of resolving criminal law conflicts that allow to compensate for the damage caused by the crime and avoid stigmatization of the person who committed the crime, as well as ensuring access to justice in conditions of modern digital society.
Risk assessment of Sanitation and water Infrastructure in informal settlements of Kisumu: Implications for Hygiene and Public Health
Authors: Othoo Calvince , Olago Daniel , Ayah Richard
Published: September 2023

Risk assessment encompasses assessment and reporting of the potential harm, danger and health concerns arising from the use or contact with potentially harmful materials or substance. In the context of urban sanitation and water, risk assessment may involve the assessment of the likely harm arising from the use of unprotected or unimproved water and sanitation facilities and likelihood of injuries that such facilities may exert on the community. Urban informal settlements, which remain the face of urban vulnerability in most developing countries, are dominated by unprotected sanitation facilities and water sources which have subsequently exacerbated the urban social and health vulnerabilities and risks. This article assessed risks from sanitation and water infrastructure in urban informal settlements and their implications on community hygiene and public health using the case study from Kisumu City, Kenya. The article is based on data collected using a modified WASHFIT risk assessment tool developed by the WHO. One hundred and fourteen water sources and 460 sanitation facilities were covered by the study. Findings from the study revealed that 87% of water sources studied were shared by multiple households, while 65% and were unprotected. Some improvements had been undertaken in only less than 20% of sanitation facilities, with large proportion accounting for the ventilated improved pit latrine type. The remaining more than one fifth or 80% of the facilities were poorly constructed traditional pit latrines. Water quality findings revealed that nitrate and thermotolerant coliform levels were higher across most water sources and beyond the minimum recommended thresholds by WHO drinking water standards. On the risk assessment scale, 67% of water sources and 70% sanitation facilities were categorised as “risky” respectively.
Peptide tyrosine-tyrosine combined with its receptors exhibits an anti-cancer potential in pancreatic cancer MiaPaCa-2 cell

Published: September 2023

Background

Pancreatic cancer is a common malignant tumor of the digestive system. It is the fourth major cause of tumor-related death and its morbidity is increasing, and hence it is imperative to develop effective forms of therapy for pancreatic cancer. Peptide tyrosine-tyrosine (PYY) is an important gastrointestinal peptide hormone. According to previous literatures, PYY has been shown to inhibit tumor proliferation in cellular and animal models, but there has been limited research on the detailed mechanism of PYY in pancreatic cancer. This study was to observe the effects of PYY on pancreatic cancer cell and investigate the possible mechanism.

Methods

The expression of Y1, Y2, and Y5 receptors on pancreatic cancer cell lines were detected by reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). The cytotoxicity of PYY toward the MiaPaCa-2 cell was evaluated by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay; the cell morphology and structure changes were observed under inverted microscope and transmission electron microscope respectively. Apoptosis and cell cycle were evaluated by flow cytometry. The activity of caspase-3 was determined by activity assay kits and Western blotting. The expression of survivin, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) were determined by RT-qPCR and Western blotting.

Results

Expression of Y2 receptor is the most abundant PYY receptor on pancreatic cancer cell. PYY inhibited MiaPaCa-2 cell proliferation, blocked it in G0/G1 phase, increased the proportion of apoptosis cells and caspase-3 activity, and reduced the expression of survivin, VEGF, and COX-2.

Conclusions

PYY weakened the ability of the pancreatic MiaPaCa-2 cell viability through cell cycle blocking and apoptosis inducing. The inhibition effect of PYY may be mediated by the Y2 receptor. The increased caspase-3 activity and reduced expression of survivin, VEGF, and COX-2 may serve as a novel mechanism in PYY inhibition effect on MiaPaCa-2 cell.
Effects of HIV status notification on reducing the risk of sexual transmission of
HIV in China
Authors: Bao Yugang , Jing Jun , Zhang Yanhui , Li Huasheng , Feng Liangui , Ning Zhen , Tan Hongzhuan
Published: September 2023

Background

The risk of HIV sexual transmission is much higher among people unaware of their
HIV status than among those aware. Only a few studies have indicated that the
incidence of unsafe sex can be reduced when people know their HIV status. This study
was to investigate this effect in China.

Methods

A cohort study consisting of two surveys was conducted at two different times
among a group of people living with HIV/AIDS, whose status was newly diagnosed with
HIV via sexual contact, in Shanghai, Chongqing, and Kunming. The first survey was
conducted among 823 people tested positive for HIV before notifying them of the HIV
status. The second survey was conducted among 650 HIV-positive people at six months
following the first survey (after notification of HIV status). The scope of survey
covered unsafe sex practices, number of unsafe sexual partners, and frequency of
unsafe sexual behaviors over the prior six months. Unsafe sex is defined as
unprotected anal or vaginal sex with partners who are HIV positive or whose HIV status
is unknown.

Results

The proportion of unsafe sex was reduced by about 85% after HIV status
notification. The risk of HIV sexual transmission was 15 times higher among persons
unaware of their HIV status than among those aware. Approximately 95% of new sexually
transmitted HIV infections stemmed from 56% of the infected persons unaware of their
HIV status in China.

Conclusion

Timely HIV status notification has the potential to significantly reduce unsafe
sex among HIV-infected persons and reduce the risk for HIV transmission via unsafe
sex.
Calcium requirements for Chinese adults by cross-sectional statistical analyses of calcium balance studies: an individual participant data and aggregate data meta-regression
Authors: Fang Aiping , Li Keji , Shi Haoyu , He Jingjing , Li He
Published: September 2023

Background

Chinese dietary reference intakes for calcium are largely based on foreign studies. We undertook meta-regression to estimate calcium requirements for Chinese adults derived from calcium balance data in Chinese adults.

Methods

We searched PubMed, Cochrane CENTRAL, and SinoMed from inception to March 5, 2014, by using a structured search strategy. The bibliographies of any relevant papers and journals were also screened for potentially eligible studies. We extracted a standardized data set from studies in Chinese adults that reported calcium balance data. The relationship between calcium intake and output was examined by an individual participant data (IPD) and aggregate data (AD) meta-regression.

Results

We identified 11 metabolic studies in Chinese adults within 18–60 years of age. One hundred and forty-one IPD (n=35) expressed as mg/d, 127 IPD (n=32) expressed as mg·kg body wt-1·d-1, and 44 AD (n=132) expressed as mg/d were collected. The models predicted a neutral calcium balance (defined as calcium output (Y) equal to calcium intake (C)) at intakes of 460 mg/d (Y=0.60C+183.98) and 8.27 mg·kg body wt-1·d-1 (Y=0.60C+3.33) for IPD, or 409 mg/d (Y=0.66C+139.00) for AD. Calcium requirements at upper intakes were higher than that at lower intakes in all these models.

Conclusion

Calcium requirement for Chinese adults 18–60 years of age approximately ranges between 400 mg/d and 500 mg/d when consuming traditional plant-based Chinese diets.

El IEH promedio calculado en función de las huellas hídricas totales de los cultivos fue de 61.66 %, en tanto el ISR promedio del fue de 38.34 %. Los índices propuestos permiten evaluar el estrés hídrico total en forma oportuna, contribuyendo al uso sostenible de este recurso.
PROTOCOLO PARA AMENIZAR A APARÊNCIA DE CICATRIZES LINEARESVISÍVEIS – ESTRIAS
Authors: Oliveira Camila Maiara Costa De , Lucietto Helen Caroline
Published: September 2023

A estria é uma afecção tegumentar adquirida que ocorre na segunda camada da pele, nos elementos dérmicos, devido a uma distensão deste tecido, ocorrendo em diversas fases da vida em que se caracteriza por um crescimento brusco. Apesar do estiramento mecânico deste tecido ser o principal fator causador desta afecção, sabe-se que a etiologia das estrias ainda precisa ser mais estudada e compreendida, pois ela é multifatorial e este estiramento do tecido pode estar relacionado com fatores genéticos e alterações endócrinas. O estiramento brusco do tecido dérmico ocasiona uma dilaceração das fibras colágenas e elásticas, provocando um desequilíbrio elástico localizado, formando as estrias. As estrias costumam ser avermelhadas ou arroxeadas, logo que surgem, podendo ser deprimidas ou discretamente elevadas. Quando elas se tornam esbranquiçadas, com leve enrugamento devido a atrofia epidérmica, a estria já se tornou mais antiga, dificultando o tratamento. Dar ênfase no tratamento para redução da espessura e densidade da pele, estimulando a produção de fibras elásticas e colágenas e prevenindo a flacidez, reduzindo e amenizando a aparência das estrias. Esse trabalho tem como finalidade desenvolver um protocolo que realmente amenize a aparência das estrias utilizando de três técnicas de aparelhos da eletroterapia associados com ativos. Resultando na redução de irregularidades da pele, promovendo vitalidade e recuperando a aparência jovial do tecido através do aumento dos níveis de colágeno e elastina, e assim desmistificar esta disfunção inestética que acarreta sérios problemas emocionais.

Published: September 2023

Purpose: In recent years, an importance increasing has been given to mental practices additional to motor practices in Stroke rehabilitation. Therefore, this systematic review aims to investigate the mental practices effects in different stroke phases on exteroceptive body awareness and functionality. Methods: five electronic portals were searched (PubMed, PEDRo, Science Direct, Web of Science), between January 2000 and July 2020. Selected studies involving mental practices additional to motor practices - conventional therapy, physical training, occupational therapy, motor task and daily activities. The methodological quality and findings evidence of each study were assessed and summarized. Results: twenty-one studies were selected for analysis. Several interventions used mental practices in stroke patient’s rehabilitation: Action observation (n = 7); Motor imagery (n = 11) and Body awareness therapy (n = 3). It seems that interventions with Action observation and Body awareness therapy have more effects in acute post-stroke patient’s functionality. However, Motor imagery intervention showed better results in chronic post-stroke patient’s functionality. All three interventions showed positive effects in exteroceptive body awareness. Conclusions: All interventions reported significant improvements in exteroceptive body awareness and functionality rehabilitation in post-stroke patients.

A fusão é definida na literatura como a união de dois germes dentários em nível de esmalte ou dentina, ou seja, a união de dois dentes decorrente de distúrbios durante o desenvolvimento na odontogênese, causando mudanças significativas da morfologia dentaria e consequentemente contribuindo para o acúmulo de biofilme e maior prevalência de cárie. Ao identificar o comprometimento pulpar decorrente da evolução da lesão cariosa, o tratamento endodôntico pode ser necessário. Por isso o objetivo desta revisão de literatura é abordar os aspectos do diagnóstico e tratamento endodôntico em dentes fusionados. Dentro deste contexto, observamos que a radiografia periapical contribui para o diagnóstico e planejamento do caso, porém pelas suas limitações, atualmente a Tomografia Computadorizada Cone Bem (TCCB) é o exame complementar que evidencia com maior qualidade a anatomia do dente. Considerando a complexidade anatômica nestes casos, podemos concluir que um criterioso exame clínico, associando a exames complementares com destaque para a TCCB, associada a métodos de magnificação, tem grande importância para reconhecimento da anatomia e sucesso do tratamento dos dentes fusionados.

Resultados: O preparo da alta hospitalar consiste em um conjunto de orientações que buscam tornar a mulher protagonista em seu cuidar, porém, grande parte das puérperas não receberam informações ou receberam informações incompletas, sobre o autocuidado e cuidados ao recém-nascido. Considerações finais: Existe uma grande lacuna entre a expectativa e a realidade quando se refere às puérperas frente aos cuidados a si mesma, e ao recém-nascido, ressalto que o profissional enfermeiro tem conhecimento científico, além de ser responsável por adotar estratégias de educação em saúde a fim de proporcionar uma alta segura e eficaz para a puérpera e o recém-nascido, além de capacitar e coordenar a equipe de enfermagem a fim de fornecer orientações atualizadas e coerentes com a individualidade de cada família. Contudo, mais estudos são necessários para compreender a abrangência dos sentimentos de cada puérpera neste momento tão importante de sua vida.

This study is to analyse the problem of slip flow via exponentially stretching/shrinking sheet in carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with heat generation effects. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into nonlinear ordinary differential equations via transformation of similarity. The bvp4c solver in Matlab is then used to resolve them numerically. Water is used as the base fluid together with single wall and multi wall CNTs. The flow parameters effect is investigated, shown in the graphs form, and physically evaluated for the dimensionless velocity, temperature, skin friction, and Nusselt numbers. The results show that there are unique solutions for stretching sheets and non-unique solutions for shrinking sheets. In addition, compared to the case of a linearly stretching/shrinking sheet, the region of the stretch/shrink parameter where the similarity solution exists for the case of exponential stretching/shrinking sheet is greater.
Legal Parameters of the Employer's Duty to Consult
Authors: Carabetta Giuseppe , Lorraine Paul
Published: September 2023

Significant workplace change requires consultation, and standard consultation obligations exist under legislation and statutory instruments. However, those provisions offer minimal guidance on how to approach consultation. The consultation cases tend to focus on compliance, adding little beyond saying consultation needs to be meaningful. Building on the foundation laid by the 2021 decision in Construction, Forestry, Maritime, Mining and Energy Union v Mt Arthur Coal Pty Ltd, this article considers what the parameters of the obligation to consult might — or should — be. It shows that there is an over emphasis in the authorities on timing, as a compliance trigger, rather than the substance of the obligation, and major decisions continue to show the obligation is poorly understood. It argues that clear parameters are needed on how to implement the duty to consult, and that these parameters need to come from statute or clear authority of the courts. Without restricting the inherent flexibility that is needed for consultation to work, or impeding the employer’s prerogative to make decisions, it asserts that there is a need for a deeper legal underpinning, and more active obligations, to shift the concept away from the conflictual paradigm of consultation being ‘triggered’ towards a more collaborative and productive approach.

Asteroid systems such as binaries and pairs are indicative of the physical properties and dynamical histories of small solar system bodies. Although numerous observational and theoretical studies have been carried out, the formation mechanism of asteroid pairs is still unclear, especially for near-Earth asteroid (NEA) pairs. We conducted a series of optical photometric and polarimetric observations of a small NEA 2010 XC15 in 2022 December to investigate its surface properties. The rotation period of 2010 XC15 is possibly a few to several dozen hours and the color indices of 2010 XC15 are derived as g − r = 0.435 ± 0.008, r − i = 0.158 ± 0.017, and r − z = 0.186 ± 0.009 in the Pan-STARRS system. The linear polarization degrees of 2010 XC15 are a few percent at the phase angle range of 58°–114°. We found that 2010 XC15 is a rare E-type NEA on the basis of its photometric and polarimetric properties. Taking the similarity of not only physical properties but also dynamical integrals and the rarity of E-type NEAs into account, we suppose that 2010 XC15 and 1998 WT24 are of common origin (i.e., an asteroid pair). These two NEAs are the sixth NEA pair and first E-type NEA pair ever confirmed, possibly formed by rotational fission. We conjecture that the parent body of 2010 XC15 and 1998 WT24 was transported from the main belt through the ν
6 resonance or Hungaria region.

BACKGROUND: Anxiety disorders are among the most common psychiatric illnesses, resulting in considerable functional impairment and distress. The stressful nature and complex work demands of studying and practicing paramedics make them more prone to psychiatric illnesses, one of which is anxiety.
AIM: This study aims to determine the prevalence of anxiety among paramedic students in Saudi Arabia.
METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted among paramedic students in the 3rd   and 4th   year of the Emergency Medical Services of the College of Applied Medical Sciences at all King Saud bin Abdulaziz University for Health Science branches in Jeddah, Riyadh, and Al-Ahsa’a, Saudi Arabia. We obtained the data from our sample size during May 2020. The study utilized the General Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) test to screen for anxiety and assess its severity in paramedic students.
RESULTS: There were 181 participants, of which 133 (73.5%) were male students. Most participants reported being unmarried, 99.4%. Regarding the GAD-7 test, 32.6% had no anxiety, whereas the most had mild anxiety, 43.1%, and 14.9% had moderate anxiety, with the fewest, 9.4% having severe anxiety.
CONCLUSION: Significant anxiety level was reported among the students, and most showed excessive worrying and nervousness, which affected them academically and occupationally. More research is required to assess the prevalence of anxiety among paramedic practitioners. Addressing the impact of anxiety on students at an earlier stage can improve their academic and work performance.

BACKGROUND: No study has been conducted to allow the evaluation of pulmonary dysfunction in Albanian population after medium-severe COVID-19 disease.
AIM: We aimed through this project to overview the spirometry data and correlation to other inflammatory markers in post COVID-19 young adults.
METHODS: A cross-sectional study was performed to access spirometry as pulmonary function test 3–6 months after COVID-19 in young adults  ≤45 years old, hospitalized for COVID-19, and presented no known history for previous pulmonary disease.
RESULTS: Among 61 patients, 41 (67.2%) females; mean age 30.6 ± 8.63 years, have undergone a spirometry test 3–6 months after COVID-19. Spirometry data for pulmonary function resulted: 4 patients (6.56%) with pulmonary dysfunction, among them 1 patient (1.64%) Forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1)/Forced vital capacity (FVC) <75%, with generalized bronchial obstruction and 3 patients (4.92%) with small airway obstruction (brochiolo-obstruction), FEF 25–75 <60%. According to criteria classification for disease, severity (SpO  <94% and/or pulmonary infiltrates >50%) 22 (36.06%) had severe COVID-19. Among two groups of COVID severity, resulted statistically significant (p < 0.05), the difference for visual analogue scale (VAS) for dyspnea perception reported during 1st  month post- COVID-19 after 6 min moderate physical activity and FEV1/FVC (Tiffeneau Index value) resulted no statistically significant changes between groups for inflammatory markers such as C reactive protein level, absolute lymphocyte count, FEF 25–75 or body mass index. D-dimer value had statistically significant change between two groups of COVID-19 severity. In two groups where present VAS dyspnea perception (≤5) and (>5), no significant correlation was found regarding FEV1/FVC and FEF 25–75 values among groups.
CONCLUSION: The results show that there are few patients that show obstructive pulmonary dysfunction evaluated by spirometry. As investigated by other published studies probably the effects in pulmonary function are improved after few months and bronchial hyper-reactivity post- COVID-19 needs further investigation.
