Background: Neuromyelitis Optica (NMO) is an autoimmune inflammation of the central nervous system in which autoantibodies are released against Aquaporin-4 (AQP-4), astrocytic water channels. The disease is characterized by transverse myelitis and optic neuritis. Viruses could be inflammatory agents in the brain. Due to such inflammatory reactions, autoantibodies would cross the blood brain barrier. Therefore, recognizing the responsible viral agent may help us prevent or treat NMO. Objectives: To investigate the probable association between Cytomegalovirus infection (CMV) and Neuromyelitis Optica. Materials & Methods: This descriptive study was performed on 25 patients with NMO, 30 patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) referring to an academic MS Clinic and 30 healthy individuals in Isfahan City, Iran in 2016. In order to detect DNA of CMV in the sera of the studied groups, real-time PCR technique was used with hydrolyzing probes such as TaqMan. Beacon Designer 7 was used to design a primer and probe. The Chi-square test was used for statistical analysis in SPSS 16. Results: Three study groups had no significant difference in terms of age (P=0.33) and gender (P=0.599). All of the samples were negative for CMV DNA. There was no significant difference between three groups of study (P=0.33). Conclusion: Regarding the negative real-time PCR results of all samples, and especially using higher specificity of primers and probes in detecting this virus, it can be inferred that no significant correlation exists between CMV infection and NMO disease.

Background: In human behavior study, by peering directly into the brain and assessing distinct patterns, evoked neurons and neuron spike can be more understandable by taking advantages of accurate brain analysis. Objectives: We investigated the role of Event Related Potentials (ERPs) in pre-comprehension processing of consumers to marketing logos.. Materials & Methods: In the framework of an experimental design, twenty-six right-handed volunteers (13 men, 13 women) participated in 2013 in the University of Tabriz. An individual task with a presentation of familiar vs. unfamiliar logos was designed. Stimuli were displayed on a monitor controlled by a PC using the Mitsar® stimulus presentation system PsyTask. Statistical analyses of ERPs data were analyzed by repeated measures ANOVA. Results: Our results showed, when subjects were dealing with familiar logos, higher peak amplitude for the N1 component in right hemisphere of the brain can be observed. These variations on averages of early components of ERPs in occipital lobe can be referred to the pre-perceptual brain activities. Conclusion: Investigating early components of ERP can be utilized further as an effective factor in prediction of the consumers ‘preference particularly in neuromarketing field.

Background: Ventriculostomy-Related Infections (VRIs) are reported in 3%–29% of patients with Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (SAH), and is strongly associated with the placement of Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) catheters. Considering the risk of placement of a metal clip in an infected environment, the timing of clipping in these patients is a challenging issue. Objectives: To treat the patients with a ruptured aneurysm that simultaneously had infection induced by External Ventricular Drainage (EVD). Materials & Methods: This study was carried out from January 2016 to December 2018 in an academic hospital in the north of Iran. A total of 42 consecutive patients with spontaneous SAH treated with EVD were enrolled in this study. The results of laboratory tests of CSF (proven or suspected ventriculitis) and timing from ictus to aneurysm surgical clipping, length of VRIs, and patients’ outcomes were reviewed. Analysis of the obtained data was performed by ANOVA, Fisher exact test and the Chi-square test in SPSS 20. P values less than 0.05 were considered significant. Results: Among non-infected patients, the best time of clipping is less than 3 days that resulted in the least complications (P=0.047). Among the infected patients, the rate of death in patients undergone surgery 4-14 days later was more than the patients undergone surgery after 2 weeks and the rate of severe complications was even more after 2 weeks. Conclusion: If there is simultaneous brain aneurysm and infection induced by EVD, aneurysm clipping is better to be done in less than 3 day that reduces the vasospasm too, otherwise the clipping is better to be done after treatment of the infection i.e. 2-3 weeks later.

Published: February 2021

Background: Tuberculosis is the second most common fatal infectious disease after Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) in the world. The spine is involved in 50% of osteoarticular tuberculosis cases. Tuberculous Spondylitis (TS) is the most dangerous form of osteoarticular tuberculosis, because of its ability to destroy the vertebral body with subsequent permanent kyphosis and neurological deficits such as paraplegia. The treatment goals of TS are to eradicate the infection and provide stability for the affected spine. There is little information in the literature about systemic non-surgical treatment under the condition of spinal cord compression in TS. We report two cases of TS which was improved with non-surgical treatment. We believe that the clinico-radiological signs of spinal cord compression in these cases are not an emergency indication for surgery. Clinical Presentation and Intervention: Two women aged 34 and 26 years were hospitalized because of the upper motor neuron type weakness in both legs worsened gradually, descending numbness, without urinary or defecation problems. Magnetic resonance imaging depicted lesions on vertebral bodies supporting the diagnosis of TS. Both patients were received oral antituberculous therapy and their muscle force improved despite the kyphotic deformity in the first patient. Conclusion: Neuro-radiological evidence of spinal cord compression is not an emergency indication of surgery in the management of TS and clinical improvement can be obtained by non-surgical treatment.

Background: The common causes of 18p deletion syndrome are spontaneous errors in the chromosomal structure in the early stages of human embryonic development. Clinical Presentation and Intervention: In this study, a 29-year-old girl was introduced with the features of deletion of chromosome 18. In addition, GTG banding karyotype revealed that this case had a deletion involving the short arm of chromosome 18. In comparison with the usual phenotype of 18p deletion, many phenotypical features of this case were similar to the other cases of 18p monosomy. Conclusion: However, two new features; difficulty in speaking and persistent limb tremor, were found that had not been observed in previous studies on the 18p deletion. Speaking was without obvious pronunciation, and the patient’s physical movements were always unbalanced. These two features can be new signs for 18p deletion syndrome.

Background: The type of parent’s child rearing and the perception of problems by adolescents are one of the important reasons for the formation of inappropriate behavior and delinquency in adolescents. Objectives: The purpose of the present study was to determine the relationship of perceived parenting styles with self-control capacity and affective self-regulation among delinquent adolencents. Materials & Methods: The research type was descriptive-correlational. The population of this study included all delinquent adolescents (N=94) from the Guilan Provincial Reconstruction and Upbringing Center and temporary detention centers in 2017-2018. Seventy-three adolescents were selected and completed the Parenting Style Inventory (PSI), Tangney Self-Control Scale (TSCS) and Measure of Affect Regulation Styles (MARS). The data were processed using Pearson correlation coefficient and stepwise multiple regression analyses by SPSS V. 22 software. Results: Regression analysis indicated that authoritative parenting style positively (β=0.906, P<0.001) and authoritarian parenting style negatively (β=-0.537, P<0.001) 38% of the changes were predicted in the SCS among delinquent adolencents (F=20.511. P<0.001). Also, the authoritative parenting style negatively (β=-0.641, P<0.001) 41% of the changes were predicted in the MARS among delinquent adolencents (F=47.543, P<0.001). The permissive parenting style was not statistically significant in any of the regression analyses (P>0.05). Conclusion: Parenting styles have an effective role in the emergence and inhibition of delinquent behavior. It seems that authoritarian and authoritative parenting styles respectively play a role in improving and weakening self-control capacity and affective self-regulation in delinquent behavior among adolencents boys.

Background: Anxiety in psychiatric patients is more prevalent than the general population. Non-pharmacological methods for the treatment of anxiety are beneficial to the health of the patient, but it is not clear which of these approaches are more appropriate. Objectives: The aim of this study is comparison of the effects religious teachings and muscle relaxation on reducing anxiety in patients hospitalized to psychiatric hospital. Materials & Methods: This is a quasi-experipsychiatric study with pre and post-test with control group that was performed on patients hospitalized to the ward of psychiatric hospital during the period from March to June, 2016. Out of 100 patients under the Spielberger anxiety screening, 60 anxious patients were diagnosed and 45 subjects who entered the study were randomly assigned to three groups of 15. Univariate analysis of Variance was used to analyze the data. Results: There was a significant difference between the post-training scores in the three groups (P=0.0001 and F=19.11). According to the Bonferroni test, there was a significant difference between the mean scores after the training in both groups of religious teachings (P=0.001 and MD=8.03, and relaxation with control group (P=0.0001 and MD=12.48). However, there is no statistically significant difference between the mean scores after training in the groups of religious teachings with relaxation (P=0.094 and MD=4.45). Conclusion: The use of the religious teaching module reduces of anxiety in psychiatric patients; religious teachings and relaxation techniques are equally effective in alleviating the anxiety of psychiatric patients. Therefore, it is suggested that these complementary and low cost methods be used to reduce anxiety instead.

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is one of the significant risk factors for Alzheimer disease (AD). Defects in insulin signaling pathway induce AD hallmarks mainly through activation of glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) pathway. Objectives: In this study, we investigated the expression of GSK-3β and insulin receptor (IR) genes in the hippocampi of an animal model of sporadic AD and assessed the preventive effect of Catechin (CAT) and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) on their expression. Materials & Methods: Adult male Wistar rats were treated by intracerebroventricular streptozotocin (STZ) injection (3 mg/kg) at day 1 and 3 after cannulation. CAT was administered at a dose of 40 mg/kg for 10 days per gavage, and EGCG was administered at a dose of 3 mg/kg for 14 days into drinking water. Then the animals were decapitated, and their hippocampi were removed. Real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) was used to evaluate the alteration in gene expression. Results: There was overexpression in GSK-3β gene in STZ-treated rats (P≤0.05), which was brought back to normalcy by EGCG (P≤0.01). The IR gene also increased after STZ treatment, but CAT reduced IR expression (P≤0.05). However, the suppressive effect of EGCG on IR expression was stronger (P≤0.01). Conclusion: The neuroprotective activity of EGCG might be due to its influence on IR and GSK-3β expression.

Published: February 2021

One of the urgent tasks of criminalistics has been studied – the content and elements of forensic security of the participants of criminal proceedings have been determined. Traditionally, this activity is given considerable attention in the areas of criminal law, criminal procedure, as well as operative and search activities. The few works of criminalists mainly reflect the problems of anonymity of interrogating the witnesses, recommendations on tactical features of the interrogation and identification by the means of videoconference. Thus, there are currently no comprehensive studies of forensic aspects of ensuring security for the participants of criminal proceedings in Ukraine.

Systematization and improvement of theoretical provisions of forensic security of the participants of criminal proceedings, determining the content and elements of forensic aspects of the researched activity will facilitate both further development of forensic science and have a positive impact on investigative and judicial practice.

The author has defined such forensic aspects of ensuring the security for the participants of criminal proceedings as technical and forensic, tactical and forensic, methodological and forensic. Technical and forensic aspect should cover the development and improvement of scientific principles and forensic recommendations for the application of special technical means and methods of ensuring the security of persons. The content of tactical and forensic security of the participants of criminal proceedings will be the development of scientific principles and forensic recommendations for the application of organizational measures and tactical means and methods (tactics, tactical combinations, tactical operations) during the preparation, conduction and recording of certain investigative (search) actions with the participation of persons, in respect of whom security measures are provided. Methodological and forensic security of the participants of criminal proceedings should include the development of methodical recommendations on such specific features of investigating certain types of crimes due to the security of individuals, in particular due to the interaction of law enforcement agencies in ensuring the security for the participants of criminal proceedings, the use of special knowledge, cooperation with national state institutions, law enforcement agencies of other countries, etc.

A new approach to (key) keywords analysis: Using frequency, and now also dispersion
Authors: Gries Stefan Th.
Published: February 2021

A widely-used method in corpus-linguistic approaches to discourse analysis, register/text type/genre analysis, and educational/curriculum questions is that of keywords analysis, a simple statistical method aiming to identify words that are key to, i.e. characteristic for, certain discourses, text types, or topic domains. The vast majority of keywords analyses relied on the same statistical measure that most collocation studies are using, the log-likelihood ratio, which is performed on frequencies of occurrence in two corpora under consideration. In a recent paper, Egbert and Biber (2019) advocated a different approach, one that involves computing log-likelihood ratios for word types based on the range of their distribution rather than their frequencies in the target and reference corpora under consideration. In this paper, I argue that their approach is a most welcome addition to keywords analysis but can still be profitably extended by utilizing both frequency and dispersion for keyness computations. I am presenting a new two-dimensional approach to keyness and exemplifying it on the basis of the Clinton-Trump Corpus and the British National Corpus.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), a neurobehavioral disorder that most often occurs in children, is a condition that affects school-age children as a mental disorder. One of the therapies that can be used is integrated sensory therapy with a form of therapy that encourages a child to develop their physical abilities. Search this article to see the relationship of integrated sensory therapy to changes in behavior and concentration of children with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder). Searching for articles through google scholar, found 18 journals to be reviewed. There were several games that had a relationship between sensory therapy, integration of behavior changes and concentration of children with ADHD, short-term play increased children's concentration, guessing the contents of the glass increased children's concentration and behavior, socialization games decreased impulsive behavior, bowling increased children's concentration, game education, increased concentration play children, PECS (Picture Exchange Communication System) increases children's concentration, mazes increase concentration, cranks increase children's concentration, flashcards increase concentration, music increases concentration and decreases impulsive behavior and writing increases concentration and decreases impulsive behavior. There is 1 journal which states that there is no difference between the integrated sensory therapy group and the untreated sensory integration group. There is a relationship between integrated sensory therapy to behavior change and control of children with ADHD. Integration sensory therapy involves activities that manage the sensory system by providing vestibular, proprioceptive, auditory, and touch input so that it can reduce hyperactive behavior and increase constructive behavior in children with ADHD.
