Introduction
There are several controversies regarding thoracic outlet syndrome. This manuscript evaluates the utility of ChatGPT in providing insights into the controversies surrounding neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome (nTOS).
Methods
The following questions were chatted with ChatGPT based on OpenAI's GPT-4 architecture, which was last updated in September 2021. What is your opinion regarding the psychological abnormalities in patients with nTOS? What is your opinion about the role of duplex ultrasound in the diagnosis of nTOS? In your opinion, which one is preferred? First rib resection or only scalenectomy for the surgical management of nTOS?
Results
ChatGPT was accurate in addressing the psychiatric disorders associated with nTOS and the outcome of different types of surgical intervention while it failed to highlight the role of duplex scanning in this disease apart from ruling out another differential diagnosis.
Conclusion
While ChatGPT offers valuable insights, it should be noted that its last update was in September 2021. Hence, some newer developments in the field may not be addressed. Nonetheless, a comprehensive approach to understanding and managing nTOS, combining both clinical expertise and technological advancements, is vital for the well-being of patients.

Published: May 2024

Introduction: The occurrence of Internal Carotid Artery (ICA) pseudoaneurysm after trauma is rare. According to the literature, most cases of ICA pseudoaneurysms were associated with vehicle accidents and males were most affected. The treatment of traumatic ICA pseudoaneurysm (TICAP) with open surgery poses excess risk, thus endovascular treatment strategies have been applied during last decade. Case report: In this manuscript, we presented a patient, a twenty-year-old young man who was injured in a traffic accident and was admitted to the Clinical Center of Montenegro. After the, the final angiographic control showed the symmetry of the arterial and venous timing in both hemispheres of the brain. The patient was discharged from the hospital seven days after the endovascular procedure and did not complain of further bleeding episodes or any neurological deficit during the 24-month follow-up. Conclusion: CTA or MRA are commonly used imaging modalities to evaluate aneurysm involving carotid arteries, but gold standard tool is digital subtraction angiography. Given our case experience, trauma patients who have persistent epistaxis associated with a midface fracture must be monitored for a longer postoperative period.

Published: May 2024

Introduction: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a slowly progressive degenerative disease characterized by tremors, rigidity, bradykinesia, and postural instability. The pathogenesis of PD is characterized by neurodegeneration of dopaminergic neurons. The prevalence is 1% in the population over 60 years. Chronic use of antiparkinsonian therapy leads to psychomotor and autonomic complications. Impulse Control Disorders (ICDs) are described as the inability of a person to resist an impulse or aspire to a particular behavior that harms that person or their environment and impairs their daily functioning. Social cognition is the ability to make inferences about another person through the perception of their emotions and current mental state. Aim: In the study, social cognition was examined in patients with Parkinson's disease between those with ICD and those without ICD. Material and methods: The study involved 24 patients diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, of which 13 patients had ICD while 11 patients did not have ICD. Participants were diagnosed and tested at the Clinic of Neurology at the University Clinical Center of Serbia. The used tests are the Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test (RMET) and the Faux-Pas Recognition Test adapted to the Serbian language. Results: By testing the difference between the group of patients with and without ICD, no statistically significant difference was found in terms of age, sex, duration of disease, presence of motor complications, and treatment with levodopa, dopamine agonists, or amantadine. A statistically significant difference was found in the achievements on social cognition tests between patients with PD and healthy controls. Conclusion: A statistically significant difference was found in the achievements on social cognition tests between patients with PD and healthy controls. No statistically significant difference was shown in the achievements on the tests of emotional recognition and tests of the theory of mind between the group of patients who had ICD and those without ICD.

Published: May 2024

Systemic hypertension is the largest causes of morbidity and mortality in the world and is one of main causes that leading to increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Less than half of hypertensive patients are aware of their condition, despite it is currently undertreated, but the control of high blood pressure is successful. This will reduce the global burden of illness and death. The etiology of hypertension includes a genetic predisposition and a complex interaction of pathophysiological, genetic and environmental factors. Hypertensive patient needs to measurement of blood pressure (BP), studying of expected risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and other organ damage, or knowing of secondary reasons for hypertension. Lifestyle changes are effective in lowering blood pressure and stopping the consequences of hypertension and CVD, along with dietary adjustments and increased physical activity. Pharmacological treatment are efficient in controlling blood pressure and stopping the consequences of cardiovascular disease in the elderly patients. The first-line antihypertensive drugs consists of ACE inhibitor (angiotensin converting enzyme), angiotensin II receptor blocker, dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker, and thiazide diuretic.

Published: May 2024

In the context of drug design and development, phytochemical and synthetic libraries are starting places for searching leads. However, knowing crystal structure of receptor may help scratching molecules that complements available interaction sites using de novo molecular design approaches. This research describes the implementation of genetic algorithm optimization technique for construction of molecular scaffold composed from sp2 carbon, oxygen and nitrogen atoms. Using Matlab, functions for molecule construction, crossover, mutation and fitness measurement were individually programmed. Fitness function was derived from AutoDock3.05 function which calculates molecular interaction energy with protein using grid map. The approach was successfully applied to design glutathione-S-transferase inhibitory molecule at sub-site of the binding pocket that is originally occupied by g-glutamyl and cysteinyl moieties of glutathione substrate. Starting from scratches, the approach was able to design molecular scaffolds complementarily filling the pocket.

Published: May 2024

Optic Disc (OD) and Optic Cup (OC) damage is caused by the eye condition glaucoma. OD is the morphological structure that is apparent in the cross-sectional view of the optic nerve connecting to the retina, while OC is the core region of OD. The morphological changes in the optic disc (OD) and optic cup (OC) often happen before visual field issues when glaucoma begins. Optic nerve head damage caused by glaucoma is permanent. Glaucoma is the greatest global cause of irreversible blindness, according to data from the World Health Organization (WHO). Only 10 to 50 percent of glaucoma patients, according to population-level surveys, are aware that they have the condition. As a result, glaucoma early identification is crucial for preventing irreversible eye damage. Glaucoma is a vision disorder that frequently affects older people and renders them permanently blind. Glaucoma affects 2.5% of people of all ages and 4.8% of people over the age of 75. Using MobileNetV2, this study suggests a unique deep transfer learning model for categorizing glaucoma. With regard to the error, with the least amount of expense, MobileNetV2 is a framework that optimizes memory consumption and execution speed. To increase the dataset and MobileNetV2's precision, data augmentation techniques were used. Using the HRF dataset, the suggested deep learning model's effectiveness is assessed. Results from the suggested procedure are accurate to 98%. Medical professionals can find the optimum course of treatment for their patients with the help of automated glaucoma classification.

Impact of nutritional risk factors on the development of multiple sclerosis
Authors: Gomanova L. I. , Balanova Y. A.
Published: May 2024

The literature review considers the data on the assessment of the influence of alimentary factors on the development of a severe neurological disease - multiple sclerosis (MS). MS is a polyetiologic disease, the risk of development of which is influenced by both infectious (Epstein-Barr virus, herpes simplex virus, influenza virus, etc.) and noninfectious factors (genetic predisposition, smoking, geographic region of residence, etc.). MS is a progressive demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS), which leads to neurodegeneration accompanied by a variety of clinical manifestations. The pathogenesis of MS is characterized by immune-mediated damage to the myelin sheaths of nerve fibers, which is manifested by inflammation, neurosynaptic damage, and destruction of white matter, axons, and blood vessels. Rapid non-evolutionary dietary and lifestyle changes, which are driven by urbanization, industrialization and globalization of the food market, are leading to an increase in most chronic non-communicable diseases, including MS. The effects induced by alimentary factors are due to changes in the microbial composition of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), immune cell function, enzyme systems functioning, etc. The aim of the work is to study the influence of micro/macronutrients, as well as the nature of the diet on the risk of MS development, to assess the role of nutrition in the primary prevention of MS. It has been shown that a diet characterized by a high content of animal fats and trans-isomers of fatty acids (TFA), increased consumption of meat products, but low content of vegetables, fruits and whole-grain products is associated with a higher risk of MS development. Regular inclusion in the diet of sources of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) (vegetable oils, seeds, nuts, marine fish) and vitamin D (fatty fish, caviar, butter, egg yolk) leads to lower relapse rates and less new brain lesions among MS patients. The literature review was conducted using open sources posted in electronic databases: PubMed, Medline, Scopus, Google Scholar, World Bank publications, WHO, eLibrary, Cyberleninka, Web of Science.
Identifying professional and pedagogical deficiencies of a medical university teacher
Authors: Getman N. A. , Kotenko E. N.
Published: May 2024

In this article, the authors presented certain results of a study devoted to identifying deficiencies in the psychological and pedagogical activities of medical university teachers. A definition is given to the concept of professional deficits as a lack (limitation) in professional competence that prevents the effective implementation of professional actions. The purpose of this work was to describe the areas of professional deficits of teachers of higher medical schools. In the article, the authors tried to answer the questions: How ready are the teaching staff of a medical university for changes in the higher education system? What professional deficiencies most often arise among teachers and how to deal with them? A number of studies conducted at the Department of Pedagogy and Psychology of Further Education indicate that university teachers have a number of professional deficiencies. The reasons for these deficits are varied, since the work experience of teachers, areas of professional deficits, etc. vary.
The work was based on regulatory documents, such as “Strategic priorities in the implementation of the state program of the Russian Federation “Development of Education” until 2030.” Professional deficits were examined in five main areas of professional pedagogical activity: scientific-theoretical, methodological, psychological-pedagogical, communicative and general pedagogical. Research on deficits in these areas has been conducted and analyzed. Professional deficits were identified through a sociological survey of teachers in offline and online formats using a specially created questionnaire. The questionnaire was developed using tools from various areas of psychological and pedagogical knowledge. The set of these deficits is unique for each teacher. No teacher is immune from professional difficulties: both young and experienced teachers face them.
Professional pedagogical deficits depend not only on the personal characteristics and developed competencies of the teacher, but also on the developing educational environment in which he is located. Purposeful work in this direction will help to overcome professional deficits. This activity is carried out by the Department of Pedagogy and Psychology of Further Education during advanced training and professional retraining of university teachers.

Objective: Objective of study was to examine the effects of psyllium husk on different lipid profile parameters ofprimary hyperlipidemic patients.Methods: Protocol of research was single blind placebo-controlled study. Research was conducted in JinnahHospital Karachi, Pakistan, from January 2008 to June 2008. Forty hyperlipidemic patients were included in thestudy. 20 patients were on placebo as control/compare group, and twenty were on psyllium husk, ten gram daily,in divided doses for the period of 12 weeks. Hyperlipidemic patients with other diseases were excluded from thestudy. Serum cholesterol and triglycerides were estimated by the enzymatic calorimetric method. Serum HDLCholesterol was determined by direct method, at day zero and at last day of the treatment. LDL-Cholesterol wascalculated by Friedwald formula (LDL= Tc- (TG/5 + HDL-C).Results: Data were expressed as the mean ± SD and “t” test was applied to determine statistical significance ofresults. P value lesser than 0.05 was the limit of significance. Two patients discontinued taking drug given, due tometallic test of psyllium husk. Psyllium decreased serum total cholesterol from 228.27±4.89 mg/dl to 199.22 ±2.30 mg/dl, triglycerides from 169.27± 9.92 mg/dl to 164.5±8.56 mg/dl, LDL-Cholesterol from 159.72 ± 5.70 to129.55± 2.81 mg/dl, and increased serum HDL-Cholesterol from 34.61±1.85 to 36.77±1.96 mg/dl in 90 days oftreatment. Results of all parameters were significant when paired ‘t’ test was applied for result analysis.Conclusion: At end of the research work we concluded that psyllium is very effective agent to maintain lipid profile parameters at normal limits in hyperlipidemic patients.Keywords: Triglycerides, Primary hyperlipidemia, Heart diseases, Psyllium, Total-Cholesterol , LDL-Cholesterol,hDL-Cholesterol.
Ecopolítica feminista
Authors: Fosado Centeno Ericka
Published: May 2024

La degradación ambiental, la desigualdad y la violencia hacia las mujeres son situaciones que necesitan atenderse para alcanzar un orden justo y sustentable. De ahí que sea necesario enriquecer cuerpos teórico-metodológicos que posibiliten conectar problemáticas socioambientales diversas. Y, aunque el vínculo entre feminismo y ecología ha producido conocimientos y herramientas plurales, estas posturas no suelen articularse; por el contrario, prevalecen nociones erróneas y violencias epistémicas que entorpecen el debate. El propósito de este trabajo es sistematizar analíticamente distintas vertientes para avanzar en la comprensión de cómo se conecta la instrumentalización de la naturaleza con la lógica de género. Para ello se revisaron textos clásicos y compilaciones actuales identificando su sustento epistemológico y sus métodos. Como resultado se propone la formulación de un campo de estudio denominado ecopolítica feminista para observar la retroalimentación entre las lógicas, las prácticas y los procesos que producen y son producidas por un orden socionatural configurado por el género.
Lo personal es político. ¿Lo doméstico es urbano?
Authors: Berardo Martina Daniela
Published: May 2024

Aunque la perspectiva feminista ha cobrado relevancia en el campo de los estudios urbanos durante la última década, las propuestas que vinculan género y espacio distan de ser hegemónicas. En este campo prima un abordaje estanco del espacio doméstico y el espacio urbano, al mismo tiempo que abundan los desarrollos teóricos sobre este último aspecto en detrimento del primero. Las consecuencias de la pandemia de COVID-19 en los usos y apropiaciones de la ciudad han convocado a complejizar la perspectiva teórica desde la cual estudiamos ambos espacios. A partir de la revisión bibliográfica, este trabajo se propone elaborar una propuesta teórica para analizar el espacio doméstico y el espacio urbano de forma relacional. Para ello, en la primera parte se recupera la crítica que delinea la teoría feminista clásica y el feminismo marxista hacia la dicotomía público-privado. Se pone énfasis en el cuestionamiento hacia la separación de la esfera pública y privada propio de la teoría política liberal, así como en la escisión entre producción y reproducción emanada de la economía política clásica. En la segunda parte, se avanza sobre las perspectivas que vinculan género y espacio: primero se recogen las propuestas teóricas surgidas a fines del siglo XX en el norte global; luego se destacan las principales líneas de investigación latinoamericanas que abordan la relación entre género y espacio urbano. Por último, a partir de la lectura crítica de estos aportes sobre género, domesticidad y espacio urbano, se ofrece una propuesta teórica para pensar los vínculos y tensiones entre el espacio doméstico y el espacio urbano: así como lo personal es político, lo doméstico es urbano. No se trata de una equivalencia simple que borra las especificidades de cada uno de estos conceptos, sino de atender a las relaciones de mutua influencia entre ambos que responden a sus fronteras porosas, lábiles, móviles y en constante redefinición.
