Authors: Mansoorabadi Elham , Sattarian Maryam , Rezania Mohammad Reza , Moradi Ebrahim , Shamsadiny Mohammad
Published: November 2022

Background: In March 2020, the world health organization declared the outbreak of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) as a pandemic. COVID-19 is a highly contagious disease. Kish is a touristic island that is located in the south of Iran. The aim of the present study was to investigate the epidemiology of COVID-19 on Kish island. Methods: In the present cross-sectional study, the residents of Kish Island, Iran, who were checked with COVID-19 polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test from February to August 2020 were included. The PCR test was obtained from symptomatic individuals or those people who had exposure to suspected COVID-19 cases. Data were collected from their medical records and analyzed based on their PCR test results. Results: A total of 4859 individuals were checked with COVID-19 PCR test. The result was positive in 1251 (25.75%) cases and negative in 3608 (74.25%). The mean age was 37.32 years. The majority of the individuals were men. Most of the participants were office employees. The number of housewives was approximately double in COVID-19 positive patients compared with the patients with negative results. About 40% of the individuals with positive results had a history of exposure to suspected COVID-19 cases. The prevalence of exposure to suspected COVID-19 cases and recent travel was significantly higher among positive cases (P<0.001). There was a significant correlation between the delay between the onset of the symptoms and performing PCR. Longer delays were seen among the deceased patients. Conclusion: It seems that more precise policies should be taken to avoid contact with symptomatic patients and people who had a history of travel to the island.

Published: November 2022

Background: Zinc plays an important role in some metabolic and signaling pathways of the immune system and may improve the signs and symptoms of neonatal sepsis. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of zinc supplementation in neonatal sepsis. Methods: This randomized controlled trial included 50 neonates with sepsis admitted to Bandar Abbas Children’s hospital, Iran, from 2018 to 2019. Patients were randomly allocated into two groups: the zinc group received standard antibiotics plus 1 mg/kg zinc gluconate twice a day for 7 days starting within the first 24 hours after admission, while the control group only received antibiotics. Complete blood count (CBC) with differential, C-reactive protein (CRP), and platelets were measured on the first day of admission. Blood sampling was done again after 48 hours based on the patients’ condition. Patients’ information such as age, sex, gestational age, birth weight, time to the improvement of clinical and laboratory findings, hospital length of stay, mortality, change in the antibiotic regimen, and signs of sepsis were noted. Results: The two study groups were similar concerning age and sex. Birth weight, gestational age, duration of hospital stay, time to the improvement of clinical findings, baseline CRP, and change in the antibiotic regimen were comparable in both groups (P>0.05). The time to the improvement of laboratory findings was significantly lower with zinc supplementation compared with controls (6.56±2.95 vs. 8.36±3.34 days, P=0.022). Further, final CRP significantly decreased compared to baseline CRP in both groups (P<0.001); however, this reduction was greater in the zinc group (final CRP: 3.60±1.87 vs. 5.12±2.11 mg/L, P=0.015). Moreover, no mortality was reported in either of the groups. Conclusion: Zinc supplementation had no effect on hospital length of stay in neonatal sepsis; however, it reduced the time to the improvement of laboratory findings, especially CRP.

Published: November 2022

Introduction: Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is one of the most common respiratory infections and is clinically divided into typical and atypical. The most common causal microorganism for typical pneumonia is Streptococcus pneumoniae. Conversely, the most frequent microorganisms in typical pneumonia are Mycoplasma pneumonia and viruses. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the frequency of M. pneumonia in children with diagnosis of pneumonia. Patients and Methods: The present study is a descriptive-analytical study. This study was conducted on 195 children with M. pneumonia. The diagnosis was confirmed by clinical features, laboratory data and radiological findings. Results: In this study, the mean age of patients was 4.89 years since 61.5% of patients were boys. Of them, serum IgMwaspositivein13 patients and IgG was positive in 41 patients. Among the clinical symptoms, fever, cough and runny nose were the most common symptoms. Patients with positive IgM usually were older and had higher fever than other patients while their serum C-reactive protein (CRP) level was significantly higher (P< 0.05). Conclusion: The results of this study showed that frequency of M. pneumonia increase with age. High grade fever and sever cough are more common in children with M. pneumonia. Among the laboratory findings higher CRP level is reliable predictor marker for M. pneumonia infection.

Authors: Razavi Mahshid , Shams Nasim , Pirasteh Seyed Mohammad Ali
Published: November 2022

Introduction: Paranasal sinuses are four air-filled spaces in face. The maxillary sinuses are important for dentist because of their location. The volume of them can be affected by various factors and make them prone to sinusitis. Objectives: This retrospective study examined maxillary sinus volume in relationship with nasal septum deviation (NSD) by using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Materials and Methods: From our CBCT archives, we retrospectively selected 210 CBCT images and 420 healthy maxillary sinuses. The maxillary sinuses were calculated using the NNT Viewer software by importing CBCT images. In this study, NSDs were classified into three levels of severity: mild, moderate, and severe. In patients with NSD, bilateral sinus volumes were compared and allowed us to determine the difference in maxillary sinus volume. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS (P<0.05). Results: The average volume of the right and left maxillary sinuses is 13.04 ± 3.37 cm3 and 13.59 ± 3.33 cm3 , respectively. The prevalence of NSD in population of this study was 89.5%. Both sides of the maxillary sinuses were significantly larger in male patients than female patients (P<0.05). The negative correlation between age and maxillary sinus volume (P<0.05) showed that maxillary sinus volume decreased with age. For cases of moderate and severe NSDs in the same direction as the deviation, the maxillary sinus volume is significantly smaller than that on the opposite side (P<0.05), while there was no significant difference in mild cases of deviation (P>0.05). Conclusion: In moderate and severe groups, maxillary sinus volume was smaller on the same side compared with the opposite side of deviation, and maxillary sinus volume is greater in male patients than female patients, and it decreases with age.

Introduction: The patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) who are affected with COVID-19 may be at a higher risk for severe disease and complications. Considering the current COVID-19 pandemic, there is a need for studies investigating the various aspects of COVID-19 in patients with MHD. Objectives: The present study aimed to identify the risk factors associated with higher COVID-19- related mortality in patients under MHD. Patients and Methods: The present retrospective study included 90 patients under MHD who were hospitalized with COVID-19 and diagnosed using the reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) from March 20, 2020, to December 20, 2020. Results: The participants’ mean age was 57.5±18.61 years, and 49 patients (54.4%) were men. Moreover, 35 patients (38.9%) were expired due to COVID-19. The most common underlying diseases included diabetes mellitus, hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. The patients expired due to COVID-19 had a significantly higher chance of needing oxygen therapy, mechanical ventilation, and intensive care unit admission compared to survived patients. Moreover, a significant negative relationship between mineral-multivitamin supplementation and COVID-19-related mortality was detected. The prevalence of dyspnea was significantly higher in the expired patients compared to survived patients. Conclusion: The COVID-19 patients under MHD are high-risk for severe disease and mortality. Therefore, hemodialysis centers should establish strict preventive measures.

Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is the leading cause of hypercalcemia. Total serum calcium level >3.5 mmol/L is associated with a high risk of a hypercalcemic crisis, manifesting with nausea, vomiting, dehydration, myalgia’s, abdominal pain, acute pancreatitis, acute kidney injury (AKI), cardiac rhythm disorders and disturbances of consciousness. We report here a case of PHPT, manifested with hypercalcemic crisis during pregnancy. A 30-year-old woman in the first trimester of pregnancy admitted complaining on loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, lower abdomen pain, weakness, and leg pain during the last 10 days. She had a history of two uncomplicated pregnancies, and two episodes of renal colic, her kidney function was normal 2 weeks prior to admission. Work-up showed hypochloremia, hypokalemia, hyponatremia, total serum calcium was 5.34 mmol/L, and serum creatinine 226 µmol/L, and she underwent urgent hemodialysis (HD). Her parathyroid hormone (PTH) was 948 pg/mL, and imaging revealed missed miscarriage 9-10 weeks, soft tissue mass 30x20x33mm near the lower pole of the left lobe of the thyroid gland, small stones in renal calices, and polysegmental pneumonia. She received antibiotics, calcimimetics, and every-day hemodiafiltration (HDF), and underwent vacuum aspiration of uterine cavity and surgical removal of the parathyroidoma. Her PTH shortly returned to the reference level, and serum creatinine dropped to 140 µmol/L after kidney replacement therapy (KRT) secession. Pathology confirmed the diagnosis of parathyroid adenoma. PHPT should be included in the diagnostic algorithm of AKI in pregnancy along with vomiting of pregnant, sepsis, pre-eclampsia and other causes. Successful management of PHPT complications in pregnancy demands multidisciplinary team.

Published: November 2022

Severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), which produces COVID-19, is the most deadly coronavirus ever identified. Essential treatments and nutrition are crucial for improving the immune system against viral infection. As studies recommended checking the nutritional state of COVID-19-infected individuals before treatment, we aimed to review the therapeutic, preventive, and immune-boosting effects of some minerals and vitamins on COVID-19. This review emphasizes the possible therapeutic, preventive, and immune-boosting effects of some minerals such as zinc, selenium, iron, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, and magnesium and vitamins C, D, and E on COVID-19 patients. Regarding the evidence that shows the preventive effects of vitamins and minerals on serious COVID-19, it seems that clinicians have to consider these factors precisely.

Authors: Saboktakin Lida
Published: November 2022

Introduction: Prevalence of obesity can predispose children to development of fatty liver disease which, given the asymptomatic nature of this disease, may turn into cirrhosis at the end of adolescence if it is not treated. Objectives: This study aimed to compare overweight and obese children with normal weight ones in terms of prevalence of fatty liver disease. Patients and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted from 2019 to 2020. A total of 952 children in the 6-18 years age group admitted to the Children medical and training center (Tabriz University of Medical Sciences) were enrolled using multistage cluster random sampling. The participants included 408 normal weight, 314 overweight, and 230 obese children. Chi-square and ANOVA tests were performed to compare the demographic information, anthropometric indices, and liver ultrasound results of the members in the three groups. P value less than 0.05 was considered significant. Results: The prevalence rate of fatty liver disease in all participants was 16.91%, whereas that in the overweight and obese children was 29.59%. The results suggested that the prevalence of fatty liver was increasing in normal weight, overweight, and obese children. Conclusion: Overweight and obesity in children led to the development of fatty liver. Preventive measures must be taken because one third of the studied obese and overweight children developed fatty liver disease.

Background and aims: Highly active oxygen causes DNA or protein damage. This study aimed to determine the effect of the extract of three medicinal plants, royal jelly, and metformin on the survival of human dermal fibroblast (HDF) cells under oxidative stress induced by H2 O2 . Methods: Hydroalcoholic extracts were prepared from Nigella sativa, Carum carvi seeds, and Taraxacum officinale flower. The growth curve of HDF cells was plotted in Dulbecco’s modified eagle medium (DMEM). The cells were exposed to H2 O2 stress and treated with different concentrations of the extracts, royal jelly, and metformin. The cells viability was then calorimetrically analyzed during different times in 69-well plates. Results: The exponential growth phase of HDF cells was observed during 24–72-hour growth. High cell survivals were seen during 72 hours of exposure to 25 mg/mL royal jelly (99.13±3.22%), 15 mg/mL C. carvi extracts and N. sativa (97.87±3.25% and 96.22±5.47%, respectively), 10 mg/mL royal jelly (96.14±4.72%), 16 mg/mL metformin (91.23±5.34%), and 8 mg/mL T. officinale (86.31±7.44%), respectively. These results were significantly higher than the results of 48 and 24 hours of exposure to 15 mg/mL N. sativa (P=0.013), 15 mg/mL C. carvi (P=0.019), and 16 mg/mL metformin (P=0.027). Moreover, royal jelly (25 mg/mL) significantly indicated greater effect on the cell survival compared with the highest concentrations of the extracts and metformin at different exposure times (P=0.016-0.032). Conclusion: Royal jelly, N. sativa, and T. officinale extracts revealed remarkable effects on the stressed HDF cells; therefore, they can be proposed for treatment of wounds and burns after clinical analysis.
E-cigarette: A Cessation Solution or a New Gateway to Smoking Combustible Cigarettes
Authors: Mastaneh Zahra , Mouseli Ali
Published: November 2022

Background: Over the past decades, electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) has entered into the tobacco industry as a safe alternative to combustible cigarettes. The aim of the current study was to investigate the effects of e-cigarette on smoking cessation. Materials and Methods: Related studies were extracted by specific keywords from PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Scopus. The inclusion criterion was the relevance of the studies to the aim of the study from 2010 to 2022. Finally, the contents were summarized by content analysis. Results: Due to the non-combustible property of tobacco, many people consider it less harmful. Other features such as different flavors, availability, and modern appearance make it user-friendly. Nevertheless, numerous studies declared the harmful effects of e-cigarettes on the lungs, platelets, and vascular tissue because of the formation of new suspected toxic compounds. Moreover, it has been reported that the use of e-cigarettes not only does not contribute to smoking cessation but also increases people’s desire to conventional smoking, especially in e-liquids containing nicotine. Conclusion: The potential of e-cigarette as a safe tool for smoking cessation remains debatable. In addition, due to the greater attraction of young adults, countries should enact laws regarding the distribution, access, and prohibitions.

Published: November 2022

In the general structure of joint diseases in terms of incidence, coxarthrosis ranks second after gonarthrosis and first in terms of the degree of disability. The development of this disease is accompanied by a persistent, severe pain syndrome, as well as functional disorders such as lameness, limited mobility, and then premature disability of patients. The main factors for the occurrence of coxarthrosis are congenital, but there are also internal factors that lead to a decrease in the resistance of the cartilage itself when performing standard loads (walking). To prevent exacerbations during the period of remission of coxarthrosis, physiotherapy exercises are prescribed to prevent exacerbations. The authors developed an optimal exercise therapy scheme for patients with coxarthrosis and compared the effectiveness of the therapy in patients treated with traditional physical therapy and an original set of physical exercises. This comparison showed that the values obtained when testing on a visual analogue scale (assessment of pain intensity) in all two analyzed samples correspond to the presence of severe pain in patients. As a result of the treatment, the indicator significantly (p<0.05) decreased by 58.6% in the experimental group and by 16.9% in the control group. The values of pain assessment according to the Lequesne index, noted by patients, also decreased in all two groups ‒ by 11.9% in the control group (p<0.05), by 46.3% in the experimental group (р<0.05). At the same time, according to the Harris test, the assessment of pain intensity in patients after treatment decreased approximately the same as in the control group (by 60.9%, p<0.05). The results of the study showed the best results in reducing pain, eliminating stiffness of movements and increasing the functionality of the musculoskeletal system.

La participación como un acto educador y constructor de la Ciudad Educadora
Authors: Rodríguez Rodríguez Jahir
Published: November 2022

El documento se desarrolla en cuatro capítulos los cuales centran su reflexión en las relaciones que se establecen entre la escuela y la ciudad, en donde la participación, el dialogo y la democracia se constituyen en los elementos que articulan la nueva ciudadanía.

En palabras iniciales, se presenta un debate entorno al concepto de Educación pensado y reflexionado desde la filosofa alemana, Hannah Arendt; en el primer capitulo, la ciudad como espacio educador, se plantean unos argumentos a favor de la tesis de que la ciudad es esencialmente un espacio donde se educa, construye la ciudadanía, y es la ciudad la que tiene que jugar un papel en el respeto y la construcción de las identidades múltiples y sus valores que reclama la época contemporánea; en el segundo capitulo, el currículum de la ciudad, recupera la idea que existe a lo largo de los espacios construidos socialmente por el hombre como ser histórico, otra educación, que se vive y disfruta en cada rincón de la ciudad, como un currículum oculto que se habre a la vida de la ciudad en cada momento que se busca su quehacer pedagógico; en el tercer capitulo, la participación como proceso educativo, se reflexiona sobre el papel político de la participación y esta como contribuye a una democracia más abierta, donde la participación debe estar destinada no solo a consolidar la democracia como régimen político, sino a potenciar y fortalecer el desarrollo de la democracia como un estilo de vida que favorece nuestra convivencia; en el capitulo cuarto, se reseña una experiencia de participación ciudadana desarrollada en nuestra ciudad, en el proceso de presupuesto participativo, como un proceso de participación ciudadana, donde la participación se revitaliza cuando los ciudadanos nos convencemos de que tenemos una actitud que asumir y que hacer respetar; y finalmente se deja consignado un sueño de escuela y un propósito de Ciudad Educadora, a manera de reflexión.
La participación de las mujeres en el proceso de formación del Estado Nacional en Argentina de finales del siglo XIX. Reflexiones desde una perspectiva de género
Authors: Anzorena Claudia
Published: November 2022

En este artículo propongo reflexionar, desde un puno de vista de género, en torno a la participación de las mujeres en la formación del Estado Nación en Argentina. En Argentina el proyecto de masificación de la educación moralizadora y civilizadora, que acompañó la creación de la Nación en la segunda mitad del Siglo XIX, se dio simultáneamente con la feminización de la docencia, la generalización de la escuela mixta y la propuesta de un currículo único. Este proceso tuvo como protagonistas escasamente reconocidas a las mujeres, porque fueron especialmente “convocadas” para la creación y difusión de valores, conocimientos y símbolos reforzadores de sentimientos de nacionalidad, no sólo por su papel dentro de la familia sino especialmente por su “misión” en el proyecto educativo nacional.

La participación de las mujeres en dicho proyecto tiene como consecuencia que hoy se considera, falsamente, saldada la deuda educativa con las mujeres y garantizada la igualdad de oportunidades.

Cartographic analysis of the historical transformation of hydronyms (a case study in the Crimean Peninsula)
Authors: Lisetskii Fedor
Published: November 2022

Scientific support for the reconstruction of historical transformation and recreation of lost geographical names (toponyms) makes it possible to form a spatio-temporal toponymic system, which can be considered as part of the intangible cultural heritage. One of the effective approaches to these problems can be the Application of the historical and geographical approach in toponymy, in particular, the historical and cartographic method based on the comparison of maps of different time periods. The territory of the Crimean Peninsula has long been distinguished by the multi-ethnic composition of the population, but the regional toponymy has been decisively developed from the 13th to the 18th centuries and has a Turkic basis. Mass renaming of settlements on the Crimean Peninsula (as a result of four waves of renaming in 1944–1949) was reflected in deturkification, which affected the change in the names of rivers and lakes, although to a lesser extent. The aim of this work was to establish a list of renamed (modified) autochthonous hydronyms and their transformation over two centuries by historical and geographical periods, using cartographic data. The author compiled a regional database of names of rivers and lakes (potamonyms and limnonyms), which includes 214 rivers and 42 lakes. The author also analysed the Slavic-Turkish hydronyms with their multidirectional transformations over a long period of interaction, which were reflected in cartographic sources. As a result, 68 potamonyms and 26 limnonyms were identified from the pool of proper names of rivers and lakes on the Crimean Peninsula, which from 1774 to 2000 had 77 variants of stable—less often short-term—renamed indigenous (mainly Turkic) hydronyms according to cartographic sources. Five major renaming periods reflected on the maps (1790–1800 and 1918–1945 (by 5.8 % of the total), 1841–1864 and 1956–1964 (by 4.5 %), 1953–1955 (13 %)) have been identified. The information basis (more than 90 lost hydronyms and their variants) for further toponymic (etymological, lexical, etc.) interpretations was created by using the results of a historical and cartographic study covering more than two centuries of the history of creating maps of the Crimean Peninsula.

There are several approaches to the process of studying the history of the formation of ethnic groups in the region, in particular, the historical-socio-geographical one, in which the influence of the natural (landscape-paleogeographical) factor on the processes of development and settlement of the territory is considered in a retrospective aspect. The purpose of the study is to show the need to take into account the historical process of territory development, i.e. conducting a retrospective analysis in assessing the landscape-ethnographic situation. Along with natural methods, archaeological methods are used (excavations, stratigraphy of cultural layers, methods of absolute dating, metallography) and historical and sociocultural (historical sections, diachronic, comparative). Comprehensive historical and geographical information is necessary for almost any geographical research. The spatial and temporal basis of the regions provides for the creation of an information database (history of landscape development during the existence of man, in particular, changes in nature management practices) and includes the obligatory historical and geographical analysis and synthesis of the region, carried out by studying event processes and their consequences. As a result, a historical-geographical periodization is created, which makes it possible to study the relationships in the “landscape–ethnos–nature use” system over historical time and determine the dynamics of the formation of the ethnic picture of the region. In the course of the study, the following periods of development of the landscapes of the Crimean Peninsula were identified: the Late Bronze Age, the Early Iron Age, antiquity and the Middle Ages. The synthesis of the obtained information makes it possible to create schemes of historical-geographical zoning into multi-temporal slices. The results obtained will make it possible to trace the continuity of the cores of the formation of ethnic communities, models of their settlement systems, schemes of migration processes for various time slices. The practical significance of the project lies in the creation of a series of electronic maps of the change in the ethnographic situation of the Crimean peninsula during human development, which will be completed with an integral geographic information system.
Historical and cultural heritage of Anabar District of Yakutia: mapping of preservation and representation
Authors: Filippova Viktoriya
Published: November 2022

The article is devoted the identification and fixation of objects of historical and cultural heritage of the Khatango-Anabar region located on the territory of two subjects: the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) and the Krasnoyarsky Kray. The research was carried out with the involvement of official sources, local history literature, archival documents and materials collected during expeditions to the settlements of Saskylakh and Yuryung-Khaya (Anabar District in Yakutia), Khatanga and Popigai on Taimyr. This made it possible to supplement the List of cultural heritage objects of the Anabar National (Dolgan-Evenki) ulus (district) of Yakutia and the rural settlement Khatanga of the Taimyr Dolgan-Nenets municipal district of the Krasnoyarsk Territory. So, instead of 1 archaeological site recorded in the official documents of Anabar District, information about 26 sites was entered into the database. The table of the Unified State Register of Cultural Heritage Objects (Historical and Cultural Monuments) of the Peoples of the Russian Federation was taken as the basis of the database for mapping the historical and cultural heritage of the studied region. The legend of thematic maps was based on symbols from the map “Cultural, spiritual and natural heritage” from the National Atlas of the Arctic. The general characteristics of the identified objects of historical and cultural heritage of the studied region are given, their geographical locationcarried out. In the study, the objects of historical and cultural heritage of the Khatango-Anabar region were mapped using GIS technologies. Mapping was carried out using licensed softwareArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online. The compiled maps make it possible to assess the current state of the historical and cultural environment of the Khatango-Anabar region—the main area of one of the representatives of the indigenous peoples of the Arctic—Dolgan.
