Authors: Yang He , Tang Minggao , Xiao Xianxuan , Cai Guojun , Wei Yong , Li Songlin , Li Huajin , Xie Jingwei
Published: June 2024

Reservoir impoundment induces a large amount of cumulative deformation of landslide body, leading to damage to the geological environment. Due to many yearly cycles of reservoir water fluctuation, the cumulative deformation of landslides tends to be stable, showing a self-adaptive deformation phenomenon. The study of the self-adaptive deformation mechanism is very important for evaluating landslide stability and achieving the safe operation of hydropower stations. To study the mechanism of self-adaptive deformation, two sets of physical models were used to monitor the groundwater, earth pressure, and cumulative deformation of landslide under periodic fluctuations of the reservoir water level. The results showed that the soil consolidation compaction, release of sliding stress, and increase in permeability are the three main factors of the self-adaptive deformation of landslide accumulation. The overall permeability decreased first and then increased, the front permeability increased greatly, and the middle and rear permeability decreased. The main factors that affected the permeability change were deformation and seepage force.

Published: June 2024

The development of new hydro turbines or the optimization of traditional hydro turbines is one of the research directions that scholars have been interested in to broaden the source of hydropower and improve energy efficiency. In our previous work, a Francis turbine was used in the water supply systems of high-rise buildings to properly control water pressure inside the pipeline and recover excess water energy. In this paper, an optimization study of the volute for the sectional shape, design method, inlet parameters, outlet width, and tongue was conducted using numerical simulations to improve the hydro turbine performance. The simulated results show that a circular section could better enhance the flow velocity inside the volute and make the flow velocity distribution more uniform at the volute outlet, and the equal mean velocity method is a more suitable volute design method in this special condition. The results of range analysis show that the water head reduction increases significantly with the increase in the inlet height, and both inlet height and outlet width have a significant effect on the efficiency. In addition, in the tongue optimization, a larger tilt angle corresponds to smaller output power and water head reduction; a larger stretch length in the limited angle range corresponds to larger output power and lower efficiency. Ultimately, the output power of the hydro turbine was increased by 18.65% and the efficiency by 2.1% through the volute optimization.

Abstract. Analysis of predictors of the effectiveness of new methods of treating common somatic diseases is increasingly becoming an integral part of modern scientific medical research, since it solves several problems. Purpose: a comprehensive assessment of predictors of the effectiveness of medical rehabilitation of patients with polypous rhinosinusitis based on various mathematical approaches. Material and methods: The study was carried out on the basis of the Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Maxillofacial Surgery of the Federal State Budgetary Institution «Clinical Hospital No. 1» of the UDP of Russia with the participation of 30 patients with PRS; the average age of the patients was 42.9+0.51 years. All patients gave written informed consent to participate in the study. Comprehensive rehabilitation of patients included the endonasal use of Nasonex, subcutaneous administration of the drug dupilumab, an alternating magnetic field and low-intensity infrared laser radiation. Results: Statistical analysis of predictors of treatment efficacy in patients with polyposis rhinosinusitis who received dupilumab, low-intensity infrared laser into the nasal cavity and alternating magnetic field was performed. Matrix correlation analysis of 15 indicators characterizing the initial state of patients showed the presence of pronounced multicollinearity, which allowed us to reduce the number of independent variables to four. Regression analysis to assess the predictor significance of these indicators (results of SNOT-32 questionnaire, Lund — Mackay scale, blood content of eosinophilic cationic protein and interleukin 4) showed that Lund — Mackay scale values have an unreliable effect on the change of the dependent variable — parameters of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). It was revealed that the accuracy of the prediction is quite high and exceeds 90 %. Application of other variants (logit regression and piecewise regression) proved to be less effective It is proved that the effectiveness of treatment is maximized at the minimum values of the above mentioned independent variables.

Authors:   Moscow Scientific and Practical Center of Dermatovenereology and Cosmetology of the Moscow Healthcare Department, Nazarenko A.R.
Published: June 2024

Аbstract. Relevance. Over the past decades, laser devices have been regarded as the method of choice in the treatment of a wide range of skin conditions, including acne. This is the reason for the active search for new methods of therapy, adherence to which in patients with acne would be higher. From this point of view, the increase in the efficiency of broadband pulsed light (IPL) in combination with low doses of minocycline has all the prerequisites for inclusion in the therapeutic complex in the treatment of patients with acne. Purpose of the study. To study the efficacy and safety of using a combined method of therapy with broadband pulsed light and low doses of minocycline in patients with papulopustular acne, taking into account the concentration of MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-9 in blood serum and the DISS index. Material and methods. Under observation were 100 patients (76 women) and (24 men) aged 18 to 45 years with a diagnosis of papulopustular form of acne, moderate severity. All patients, depending on the initial violation of the skin microbiota, were divided into two groups: group 1–50 patients, group 2–50 patients, each group was divided into subgroups depending on the type of therapy: subgroup A — 25 patients, subgroup B — 25 patients. All patients underwent a study of the concentration of MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-9 in the blood serum. Research results. The results of comparing the levels of MMP-1, 2, 3, 9 and the DISHS index before and after various methods of therapy in patients with papulopustular acne, of moderate severity in subgroups 1B and 2B showed a more significant trend towards a decrease in MMP-1, 2, 3, 9 and the DISHS index relative to subgroups 1A and 2A. Conclusions. Analyzing the results of the study, we can conclude that the use of a combined method of treatment in patients with papulopustular form of acne, of moderate severity, demonstrated greater efficiency in the dynamics of reducing the levels of MMP-1, 2, 3, 9 concentrations, as well as reducing the total index DISH compared with low-dse minocycline and a topical retinoid.
THE MNEMONIC POTENTIAL OF THE AUTHOR’S EPIGRAM (using the example of Igor Guberman’s poetry)
Authors: Zhilyakov Sergey V.
Published: June 2024

The article is devoted to the consideration of the author’s epigram by the poet Igor Guberman as a genre with mnemonic (memorable) potential. It is understood that inheriting an ambivalent nature borrowed from the previous ritual tradition, Igor Guberman’s epigram in its architectonic organisation simultaneously contains the ridiculous and the serious, the personal and the impersonal (‟alien”), the subjective and the objective. The latter, as deposited in the memory of the past, is used as a mnemonic demonstration of the material tested by life experience, which enters into a dialogical relationship with a subjective artistic worldview. In the course of the analysis of Igor Guberman’s author’s epigrams, called ‟gariki” by analogy with the derivative of Garik – the colloquial form of the author’s name, – it turns out that the mnemonic attribute as a permanent property of the genre, inherited from past times, is represented in it in different ways and to a large extent much wider than in the classical epigram. Thus, the mnemonic potential of the author’s epigram contains, in addition to the motifs of famous works, paraphrases and recitations of famous sayings that have become winged, allusions to general literary ‟topos” and reminiscences from the poems of poets, recognisable by the images used, rhythm and verse organisation. It is concluded that the variety of use of Igor Guberman’s rich mnemonic potential by the author’s epigram indicates the voluminous functionality of the genre, involving artistic resources not only in the direction of reproducing the invariant (‟genre memory”), but more focusing efforts on the path of renewal in line with the detached perception of tradition (‟genre memory”), which allows to appear to it in the fullness of aesthetic perfection.
FEATURES OF FUNCTIONING OF EXPRESSIVE REDUCED VOCABULARY IN CONTEMPORARY FICTION TEXTS
Authors: Galustyan Laura S. , Sergeyeva Yelena V.
Published: June 2024

This article is devoted to the consideration of the category of expressiveness and its embodiment in literary language and art text. Expressive lexical units belonging to the reduced lexicon in fiction works of the first quarter of the 21st century (“Textˮ by Dmitry Glukhovsky, “Earthˮ by Mikhail Elizarov and “Hijackingˮ by Danil Korecki) are singled out and their functions are determined. The analysis is carried out on the material of various lexicographic editions, among which both explanatory dictionaries and highly specialised dictionaries (dictionaries of argot, jargon) are used. The most common functions that were identified in the context of the named works are the following: characterisation of the linguistic picture of the world of the hero and the author, the “anti-aestheticˮ artistic picture of the world of the author (author’s intention) and a means of characterisation of the character – speech or author’s when using non- self-directed speech. It is indicative that some functions can be combined in the text, which is confirmed by the examples from contemporary works of fiction given in the article. It is concluded that the use of reduced expressive vocabulary in the modern fiction text demonstrates both general linguistic processes and methods of creating artistic imagery, the specificity of which is associated with a kind of “anti-aestheticˮ.
THE INTERACTION OF LEGAL SYSTEMS AS LINGUISTIC COMMUNITIES (P. 1)
Authors: Volfson Vladimir L.
Published: June 2024

Law as a linguistic phenomenon has seldom been a subject of research in the Russian civil law studies, as well in national jurisprudence at large. As for attempts at systemising descriptions of the semantic interaction of legal systems, its properties and types, they are barely existant. At the same time, the cases of such interaction per se seem to lie on the surface. The article examines the general properties of such interaction, identifies the essential features of its main varieties and offers descriptions and solutions to the most interesting issues within each one. Doing so, the author makes use of some case modelling. Along with well-known kinds of semantic interaction, such as the characterisation problem and the application of foreign law (in conflict law), comparative studies and incorporation, the article also refers to interpenetration of various schemes of meaning within same jurisdiction. The author puts all the matters in the context of linguistic problem and approaches them from the standpoint of his understanding of private law. The scientific outcome can be seen in the attempt to create a general theory of semantic interaction of legal systems based on general properties of such interaction and on the disclosure of its individual types.
SOVIET DIPLOMATIC SUPPORT TO THE REPUBLIC OF CHINA IN 1937–1939
Authors: Novikov Mikhail V.
Published: June 2024

The article considers the issue of the Soviet Union’s diplomatic support to the Republic of China at the initial stage of the Sino-Japanese War (1937–1939). It is noted that due to the outbreak of war, the Chinese government received real support neither from the League of Nations nor from the imperialist states since no one wanted to quarrel with Japan. It is emphasised that the leadership of the USSR had repeatedly unsuccessfully tried to negotiate with the imperialist powers on collective action against Japan, including, above all, the sanctions policy. Soviet diplomacy was ready to single-handedly support various foreign policy demarches of the leadership of the Republic of China. The data on numerous speeches by representatives of the USSR in the League of Nations in support of China are given. The active position of Soviet diplomacy during the so-called Brussels Conference is considered; their the Council of the League of Nations delegated the problem of Japanese aggression against China. It is emphasised that during the work of the Brussels conference, the delegations of Western countries demonstrated being uneager to aggravate relations with Japan; they only offered to search for peaceful ways to resolve the conflict, refused to accept collective sanctions against Japan or provide real international assistance to the victim of aggression – China. It is emphasised that Soviet diplomats continuously supported various initiatives of the government of the Chinese Republic in the League of Nations, only to be excluded from this organisation on December 14, 1939, after the USSR started war against Finland.
RECEPTION OF AUBREY BEARDSLEY’S WORK IN THE NOVEL “THE APES OF GOD” BY WYNDHAM LEWIS
Authors: Novokreshchennykh Irina A.
Published: June 2024

The article is devoted to the study of Wyndham Lewis’s perception of Aubrey Beardsley’s graphic and literary works. We apply an aesthetic-poetological method and historical-literary method and biographical method. The comparison of Beardsley’s novels «Under the Hill» and Lewis’s «The Apes of God» is associated with the experience of graphic creativity of the authors, with their interest in Catholicism, with parody and the grotesque. An analysis of direct references to Beardsley in the context of “table talk” and aphorisms of Wilde, Beardsley and Whistler shows that Lewis does not completely deny the experience of the 1890s. Rather Lewis pays a lot of attention to them in the form of reminiscences, following the aesthetics of objectivity. If the era of 1890s is characterized in Lewis’s novel with the help of food metaphors, then the pictures of modernity are created with the help of battle, military vocabulary. Lewis characterizes fictional heroes of the 20th century through the artists of the nineties of the 19th century – Beardsley, Wilde, Whistler, Leverson. If Wilde and Whistler are recognized by Lewis in the artistic world of the novel through Pierpoint, Zagreus and Osmund, then the name of Aubrey Beardsley is more associated with the image of Sib. The heroine of the novel (whose prototype is Ada Leverson) is created through characteristics reminiscent of Beardsley’s drawings, which combine masses of black and white and which are associated with the tradition of the «Fetes Galantes».
Forming of readiness for motherhood among female students in the extracurricular process of a higher educational organization
Authors: Tkacheva Yulia G.
Published: June 2024

The relevance of the article is due to the existing demographic problems closely related to the transformation of traditional stereotypes of reproductive behavior among modern youth, the changes in the models of traditional family relations and the devaluation of the motherhood value in society. This actualizes the problem of forming readiness for motherhood among girls and young women, using the educational potential of the higher educational organization. The author considers readiness for motherhood as a psychological and pedagogical phenomenon that has complex nature and requires of woman having an appropriate set of special skills and abilities in the field of motherhood and childhood, a firm civil and social position, a formed system of values, attitudes and personal qualities, which implies systematic and pedagogically justified impact. In this regard, emphasis is placed on the need to develop and implement an additional educational program in the extracurricular process aimed at forming a system of ideas among students about the essence of motherhood and maternal functions, obtaining primary skills of upbringing, development and child care, solving socio-economic and legal problems that arise at the same time. Usage of various types and forms of organization of extracurricular activities of female students, methods of active and interactive learning, a specially developed set of tasks, as well as the involvement of specialists from specialized organizations and teachers of higher education organizations in the program implementation allowed to form each of the components of the students' readiness for motherhood and the phenomenon on the integral basis.

The problem of developing competence in English academic writing at the master's level
Authors: Starostina Natalya V. , Petrischeva Olga S.
Published: June 2024

The article discusses the problems of teaching academic writing in a non-linguistic university and proposes possible ways of solving them. The research analysis on the topic is presented and the urgency of the topic in international academic interaction is highlighted. The results of the survey on the attitude of master’s students to the academic writing tasks are described. The methods of statistical analysis were used to explain and interpret the survey’s results. The survey has displayed a controversial attitude to the writing tasks. The authors stress that one of the reasons for the negative attitude to the writing tasks is that the writing competence is not developed enough as compared to reading, speaking, listening. The students are not aware of the interdependence of all competences and have low motivation for studying academic writing. The teacher’s task is to incorporate academic writing tasks in the course of studies, keeping to the principle of complex competence teaching. Academic writing tasks have to promote students’ autonomy and improve their professional skills. The survey concludes that there is a huge potential for the development of motivation and skills in academic writing.

Authors: Noori Omar , Maitz Peter , Cha Jeon , Issler-Fisher Andrea C
Published: June 2024

Background: Hair bleaching has become a common cosmetic procedure and the use of cytotoxic chemicals can cause serious burns to the skin. Methods: A retrospective case series from 2016 to 2020 in the two major statewide tertiary referral burns centres in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Results: We present 14 patients (mean age 27 years) with skin burns secondary to hair-bleaching procedures. The majority of these burns had full thickness components (71%, n = 10) requiring grafting surgery (n = 6). The mean size of all burns was 0.6 per cent (0.1%–2.5%) of total body surface area. One patient received adequate first aid at the time of injury. Most burns occurred in a professional setting (71%, n = 10). Conclusion: This case series highlights the dangerous nature of hair-bleaching chemicals. Rigorous education, training, first aid management, and clear informed consent between proceduralists and clients are needed in order to prevent this physiologically and psychologically debilitating accidental injury.

Published: June 2024

Since 2001, almost all teacher education programmes in Sweden have included a final thesis. Research on teacher students’ theses in Sweden has been relatively limited in scope. In this paper, our aim is to map the research methods and topics of theses in Swedish teacher education between 2005 and 2023. The specific research aims are to quantify the prevalence of theses, to analyse changes over time, and to identify the prevalence in theses per university in relation to the following variables: methodological approach, research methods, and topic areas investigated. The titles, abstracts, and keywords of 32,199 theses from 29 universities were analysed, and the results indicated that overall there is no large change in either methodological approach, methods used, or topic areas investigated depending on university. The trend lines show an extreme increase in the use of qualitative, but not quantitative, approaches. The most prevalent method was interviews, which were used in approximately 47% of theses. Many of the theses that mentioned multiple methods also involved interviews. In contrast, the use of surveys has decreased (from 25% to 10%), while document analysis, phenomenography and interventions has increased, although with just a few percent points. With regard to topic areas, learning and instruction was the most prevalent, accounting for 26% of all theses. Furthermore, there has been an increase in the topic areas, including special education, multiculturalism and citizenship, and relational pedagogy.
Egyptian Pilgrimage Route (Darb Al-Hajj Al-Misriy). A Key Link in the Sacred Geography of the Islamic World (17th–18th Centuries)
Authors: Кириллина С.А.
Published: June 2024

В Средние века в мире ислама сложилась разветвленная сеть паломнических путей в святые земли Аравии, среди которых особое место занимал маршрут египетского каравана хаджа, который аккумулировал массы паломников из Магриба, центральных районов и восточного побережья Африки. Он проходил через Суэцкий перешеек, Синайский полуостров, порт ʻАкаба до Мекки. Будучи самым популярным паломническим маршрутом в доосманское время, дарб ал-хадж ал-мисрий сохранил свою значимость и востребованность в османскую эпоху. Как и в других частях арабо-османского мира, в Египте институт паломничества и связанные с ним многообразные мероприятия отражали уровень эффективности работы местных властей. В то же время контроль османских султанов над ключевыми паломническими маршрутами, в том числе над египетским, служил делу идеологического единения сообщества мусульман – уммы. При османах дарб ал-хадж ал-мисрий совершенствовался и модернизировался. На траектории продвижения паломников появлялись новые места для отдыха и водопоя, ремонтировались и расширялись старые. Узловые стоянки на пути хаджа представляли собой укрепленные пункты с крепостными сооружениями, защитными и сигнальными башнями, колодцами и каменными резервуарами с питьевой водой, небольшими мечетями, постоялыми дворами – ханами, загонами для животных, складами и рынками. Однако с развитием и модификацией современной инфраструктуры традиционные «паломнические тропы» стали неминуемо приходить в упадок, постепенно превращаясь в памятники истории.

In the Middle Ages, the Islamic world developed an extensive network of pilgrimage routes to the holy lands of Arabia. The Egyptian Hajj caravan route playing a special role, drawing large numbers of pilgrims from the Maghreb, central regions, and the eastern coast of Africa. It traversed the Isthmus of Suez, the Sinai Peninsula, and the port of Aqaba en route to Mecca. As the most popular pilgrimage route in the pre-Ottoman era, the darb Al-Hajj Al-Misriy remained significant and in high demand during the Ottoman period. In Egypt, as in other parts of the Arab-Ottoman world, the institution of pilgrimage and its various associated activities demonstrated the effectiveness of local governance. Moreover, the Ottoman sultans' control over key pilgrimage routes, including the Egyptian one, reinforced the ideological unity of the Muslim community, the Ummah. Under the Ottomans, the darb al-hajj al-misriy was improved and modernized. New rest stops and watering spots emerged along the pilgrims' route, while old ones were renovated and expanded. Key stops on the Hajj route featured fortified posts with defensive and signal towers, wells, stone water reservoirs, small mosques, inns (khans), animal pens, warehouses, and markets. However, with the development and modification of modern infrastructure, traditional 'pilgrimage trails' inevitably began to decline, gradually transforming into historical monuments.
The Sacred Space of Hagia Sophia / Aya-Sofia in the Perception of European Artists
Authors: Якушев М.И.
Published: June 2024

В статье рассказывается об истории храма Святой Софии, пережившей несколько периодов в своей истории: византийский, латинский, вновь византийский, османский и турецкий. Падение Константинополя и обращение Софийского храма в главную мечеть османских султанов положил конец его посещению христианскими паломниками и путешественниками, изменил ее внешний и внутренний облик, который до 2-й пол. XVII в. оставался неизвестным для европейцев. С появлением первого художника и путешественника внутри мечети в 1672 г. дало представление о том, как изменился и менялся ее облик в результате предпринимаемых султанами шагов по исламизации внутреннего и внешнего убранства мечети. В результате в середине 2-й половине XVIII в. Айя София практически полностью приобрела вид традиционной мечети. После реставрации Гаспара Фоссати (1847-1849 гг.,) Софийская мечеть частично вернула себе прежний византийский облик. В изданный альбом цветных литографий с изображениями Софийской мечети Фоссати включил акварели с ее видами до и после капитального ремонта. Благодаря работам европейских художников у современного зрителя и читателя есть возможность проследить динамику изменения облика мечети в сторону еще большего омечетивания и частичного возвращения ей утраченного византийского облика, когда Айя София превратилась из действующей соборной мечети в государственный музей в 1935 г.

The article tells about the history of the Church of Hagia Sophia, which has gone through several periods: Byzantine, Latin, Byzantine again, Ottoman and Turkish. The fall of Constantinople and the conversion of Hagia Sophia Church into the principal mosque of the Ottoman sultans put an end to its visits by Christian pilgrims and travellers, changed its appearance and internal view, which remained unknown to Europeans until the 2nd half of the 17 century. With the appearance of the first artist and traveler inside the mosque in 1672, it gave an idea of how its view had changed and changed as a result of the efforts taken by the sultans to Islamize the interior and exterior view of Aya-Sofia Mosque. As a result, in the middle of the 2nd half of the 18 century Hagia Sophia almost completely acquired the appearance of a traditional mosque. After the restoration of Gaspar Fossati (1847-1849), the Aya-Sofia Mosque partially regained its former Byzantine appearance. In the published album of color lithographs with images of the Sofia Mosque, Fossati included watercolours with its views before and after major repairs. Thanks to the works of European artists, the modern viewer and reader have the opportunity to trace the dynamics of the change in the appearance of the mosque towards even greater marking and partial restoration of its lost Byzantine appearance, when Aya-Sofia turned in 1935 from an acting mosque into a state museum.
Al Jahra as a Symbol of Kuwaiti Military Valor
Authors: Мелкумян Е.С.
Published: June 2024

В статье анализируется феномен сакрализации битвы при Эль-Джахре, которая произошла в 1920 г. между ихванами Недждийского эмира Абдель Азиза Аль Сауда (Ибн Сауда) в ходе его завоевательного похода, результатом которого стало образование Саудовского королевства. В новейшей истории Кувейта битва при Эль-Джахре была превращена в символом воинской доблести и героизма кувейтцев, проявивших готовность к единению и солидарности. В статье рассматривается изложение работ по истории Саудовской Аравии, в которых эта битва была представлена как незначительный эпизод, не оказавший какого-либо влияния на ход военной кампании Ибн Сауда по захвату территорий, вошедших в состав создаваемого им государства. В этих работах тот факт, что войска ихванов не захватили Эль-Джахру, объясняется исключительно вмешательством британцев. В историографии современной истории Кувейта битва при Эль-Джахре описывается как подвиг кувейтцев, выдержавших осаду крепости, куда они отступили, и вынудивших своих врагов уйти, понеся огромные потери. Автор статьи анализирует различные тексты с изложением событий, связанных с битвой при Эль-Джахре, с тем, чтобы продемонстрировать мифологизацию этого исторического события, которое было превращено в национальный символ героизма кувейтского народа, что стало важнейшим элементом в формировании национальной кувейтской идентичности.

The article analyzes the phenomenon of sacralization of the Battle of Jahra, which took place in 1920 between the Ikhwans of Emir of Nejd Abdul Aziz Al Saud (Ibn Saud) during his conquest campaign that resulted in the establishment of the Saudi kingdom. In recent Kuwaiti history, the Battle of Jahra has become emblematic of the military valor and heroism demonstrated by Kuwaitis, reflecting their commitment to unity and solidarity. The article examines historical works on Saudi Arabia that portray the battle as a minor event with little impact on Ibn Saud's military campaign to expand his emerging state's territories. These works solely attribute the Ikhwan forces' failure to capture Al Jahra to British interference. Contemporary Kuwaiti historiography depicts the Battle of Jahra as a heroic stand by the Kuwaitis, who defended the fortress they had retreated to, repelled their foes, and inflicted severe losses on them. The article's author analyzes various narratives about the Battle of Jahra to expose its mythologization into a national symbol of Kuwaiti heroism, a key component in shaping Kuwaiti national identity.

Published: June 2024

Objetivo: Determinar la relación entre la ejecución presupuestal de transferencias financieras del Seguro Integral de Salud (SIS) y la disponibilidad de suministros médicos en establecimientos de tercer nivel del Ministerio de Salud (MINSA) en Lima Metropolitana. Material y método: Estudio transversal, realizado en 20 establecimientos del nivel III en Lima Metropolitana. La información sobre ejecución presupuestal (total, en gastos de reposición, de medicamentos, y de materiales o insumos) se obtuvo de las Actas de Cierre de Supervisión Financiera de la Gerencia Macrorregional del SIS; mientras que la disponibilidad de suministros médicos (productos farmacéuticos, dispositivos médicos y/o productos sanitarios) fue recolectada del portal web Mundo IPRESS (por el acrónimo de Instituciones Prestadoras de Servicios de Salud). Para correlacionar ambos conceptos se utilizó el test de Spearman (rho), considerándose un valor p<0,05 como significativo. Resultados: La ejecución presupuestal global no se relacionó con la disponibilidad de suministros médicos (rho=-0,014; p=0,955). La evaluación por componentes evidenció que la ejecución presupuestal en medicamentos se relacionó positivamente con la disponibilidad de suministros (rho=0,417; p=0,045), lo cual también fue válido en el análisis solo para hospitales (rho: 0,594; p=0,032). Si bien la ejecución presupuestal en materiales e insumos para hospitales se relacionó con la disponibilidad de suministros, dicha relación fue inversa (rho=-0,552; p=0,043). Conclusiones: La ejecución presupuestal general de transferencias financieras del SIS no se relacionó con la disponibilidad de suministros médicos, a excepción del componente de gasto en medicamentos.

The coexistence of psychiatric disorders and cardiovascular diseases represents a complex clinical challenge, often necessitating the concurrent use of medications from both therapeutic categories. While these medications are essential for managing their respective pathologies, their combined use can lead to interactions that may affect treatment outcomes and patient safety. Understanding the interactions between psychotropic drugs and those used in cardiovascular diseases is crucial for healthcare professionals to optimize therapeutic regimens and minimize potential adverse effects. This article aims to explore the various types of interactions between psychotropic and cardiovascular medications, analyze their underlying mechanisms, evaluate the clinical implications, and propose strategies to reduce risks and optimize treatment outcomes. By understanding these interactions, healthcare professionals can enhance clinical decision-making and provide safer and more effective pharmacotherapy for patients with complex medical needs.

Eating Disorders are behavioral conditions characterized by severe and persistent disturbance in eating behaviors and associated distressing thoughts and emotions. Eating Disorders have become a major health issue in our current society for both men and women. People with eating disorders, in particular those with Anorexia Nervosa, are at high risk in terms of their health and safety. Unfortunately, they have the highest mortality of any psychiatric illness. Mortality rates are over 5 times higher than the general population. Both their physical and suicidal behaviors contribute to this risk. The risk of others is less of a concern. Disturbed eating behaviors such as dietary restriction, episodes of binge eating, excessive exercise, self-induced vomiting and the use of laxatives make it difficult for a person to maintain a healthy body weight and lead to the development of physical and psychological symptoms of nutritional imbalance and starvation. The factors involved in the assessment of risk in people with eating disorders include medical risk, psychological risk, psychosocial risk and insight/capacity and motivation.

O achado de hipertensão pulmonar (HP) em avaliação ecocardiográfica é frequente e preocupante. No entanto, o ecocardiograma é apenas um exame sugestivo e não diagnóstico de HP. Quando se suspeita de acometimento direto da circulação pulmonar, está indicada medida hemodinâmica invasiva para estabelecer o diagnóstico. Essa avaliação permite, além da confirmação diagnóstica, a correta identificação do território vascular predominantemente acometido (arterial pulmonar ou pós-capilar). O tratamento com as medicações específicas de HP (inibidores da fosfodiestarese 5, antagonistas do receptor de endotelina, análogos da prostaciclina e estimulador da guanilil ciclase solúvel) é comprovadamente eficaz para pacientes com hipertensão arterial pulmonar, mas seu uso em pacientes com HP decorrente de doença cardíaca de câmaras esquerdas pode até mesmo ser prejudicial. Discutiremos nesta revisão o critério diagnóstico, a maneira de proceder a investigação etiológica, a classificação clínica e, finalmente, as recomendações terapêuticas na HP.
