Published: April 2024

Children may be at increased risk of pulmonary aspiration because of retention of gastric contents caused by pain or inadequate fasting. We performed this study to analyze the use of ultrasound for evaluation of gastric ultrasound in children less than 12 years. Two hundred children, 1-12 years of age belonging to ASA physical status I to II, scheduled to undergo elective surgery were included in the study. Patients were scanned in supine position followed by right lateral decubitus position (RLD). In qualitative assessment, the antrum was judged to contain fluid if it appeared to have an endocavitary lumen with hypoechoic content and distended walls. All measurements were taken with antrum at rest (between contraction) to avoid underestimating volume. It was observed that majority of the children were in Perlas grade 0, 116(58%) followed by 75 children in grade 1 and 9 children in grade 2. Using Karl Pearson’s Correlation coefficient, low positive correlation was found between gastric volume and fasting status solid (in hours) and the variation (correlation) was found to be statistically non-significant (r=0.139; p>0.05). There is no proportionate decline in gastric volume with increased duration of preoperative fasting. Ultrasonographic measurement of antral area can be of interest to anesthesiologist for accurate qualitative and quantitative estimation of preoperative gastric contents and volume. However, gastric ultrasonography has to be validated in further trials involving a larger patient population before it can become a routine standard of care in perioperative period.

Published: April 2024

Background: Oral health problems affected 55.6% of adolescents aged 10-14 in Indonesia. This can be prevented by maintaining oral hygiene. Many physical and psychological changes happen in the adolescent phase, and more attention is needed to maintain oral hygiene. Oral hygiene is influenced by various factors, including demographic and socioeconomic factors. Objectives: This study aimed to determine factors associated with oral hygiene among adolescents in Jember, Indonesia. Method: There were 409 students from eight different junior secondary schools in Jember Regency as participants in this study. The sample was obtained using the cluster random sampling method. Data on oral hygiene as a dependent variable was collected through the OHI-S examination. Data on sex, school, ethnicity, mother and father education, father and mother employment, monthly income, and number of children as independent variables was gathered from questionnaires and students' data from the school database. First, a univariate Spearmen test was run for all independent variables (p<0.05). The significant variables were then analyzed using multiple regression to determine factors associated with oral hygiene (p<0.05). Results: The average OHI-S score was 2.53, which was categorized as moderate. Multivariate analysis results showed that females were more likely to have better OHIS-S scores than males (B=-0.716; p=0.000); ethnic Javanese were more likely to have better OHI-S scores than Maduranese (B=0.293; p=0.004); and middle-income students more likely have better OHI-S than low-income students (B=-0.307; p=0.003). Conclusion: It can be concluded from this study that adolescents' socioeconomic background is associated with their oral hygiene. This suggests the need to give more attention to a new model of oral health promotion programs targeting gender, ethnicity, and lower-income groups.

Introduction: The sequelae of burns induce variable functional, aesthetic and psychological repercussions. They can be minor or major. The sequelae of burns are basically attributable to two causes: the male therapy conducted and the severity of the burn itself. Objective: To describe the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of burn sequelae in the "young" Dermatology Hospital of Bamako in Mali. Methodology: A descriptive and transversal study carried up on patients with burns sequelae and operated in Dermatological hospital of Bamako at the plastic and oncological service from January 2017 to December 2020. The study population consisted of all the patients (138 cases) with burns sequelae. Result: The sex ratio was 1.06. The mean age was 13.73 years (range: 7 months to 74 years). The most affected age group was paediatric with 65.90% of cases and the dominant age group was 0 to 5 years old with 41.3%. Hot liquid was the most frequently found causative agent at 52.9%, followed by fire and hot metal at 31.2% and 8%, respectively. Flanges were the most dominant (56.80%), followed by cupboards (33.73%) and ulcers on old burns (4.73%). Conclusion: A well-conducted therapy would not only reduce the severity of burn sequelae but also avoid them, which would allow empowering patients after burns and reducing the high costs associated with the management of these sequelae.
Effects of Insulin Resistance on Different Organs

Published: April 2024

Background: This review will encompass a comprehensive examination of insulin and insulin resistance, spanning its historical background, synthesis, functions, interactions, and related clinical symptoms. Within this section, we will delve into the underlying mechanisms and various scenarios, both physiological and pathological, that contribute to insulin resistance. The prevalence of insulin resistance among adults worldwide ranges from 15.5% to 46.5%. Excessive visceral fat is considered the main cause of insulin resistance. One of the tyrosine kinase receptors belonging to the Class II (Cysteine) family is the insulin receptor (IR). Adipose tissue functions as an endocrine organ, exerting influence over both glucose and lipid metabolism through the release of adipokines, pro-inflammatory factors. The transport of glucose into the interior of adipocytes relies on insulin and is facilitated by GLUT4 transporters. Adipose tissue is estimated to contribute approximately 10% of the overall glucose uptake stimulated by insulin throughout the body. The primary emphasis will be on scrutinizing insulin's functions and how insulin resistance manifests in specific bodily organs and tissues. We will also scrutinize factors like physiological, environmental, and pharmacological influences on insulin activity, along with clinical conditions associated with insulin resistance.

Published: April 2024

Background to the study: Nicotine, which is the most abundant constituent of tobacco cigarette is one of the most commonly abused drugs. The duo of obesity and tobacco smoking increases the risk of cardiometabolic disorders. Methodology: The experiment involved 48 male wistar rats separated into 4 groups of 8 rats each. All the animals were placed on high-fat diet (Margarine; blue band) in addition to the different doses of nicotine in the experimental groups. Group 1 served as control and received distilled water, Groups 2, 3 and 4 received 200µg/kg, 400µg/kg and 800µg/kg of nicotine oral solution respectively. The experimental groups were placed on their respective doses of nicotine solution for an initial four weeks. Thereafter, four animals in each group were sacrificed and blood samples collected to determine their nicotine exposure plasma levels of glucose, insulin and glycated hemoglobin. The remaining four animals in each group continued without nicotine for another four weeks after which they were sacrificed and blood samples collected to determine their nicotine withdrawal plasma levels of glucose, insulin and glycated hemoglobin. Results: The results showed that exposure to the three concentrations of nicotine (200, 400 and 800µg/kg respectively) significantly caused a rise in plasma insulin levels but dose-dependent reduction in both glucose and glycated haemoglobin compared to their control groups. Four weeks after withdrawal of initial 200µg/kg nicotine there were no significant changes in the levels of plasma glucose, insulin and glycated haemoglobin compared to the nicotine exposed groups. Withdrawal, after initial exposure to 400µg/kg of nicotine was associated with significant rise in both the plasma glucose and glycated haemoglobin but no significant change in insulin compared to their respective nicotine exposed groups. Cessation, after initial exposure 800µg/kg of nicotine resulted in significant rise in plasma levels of glucose, ..........
Reduced crimes
Authors: Sitnikova Aleksandra
Published: April 2024

The relevance of the research topic is evidenced by the desire of the legislator to recognize unfinished torts as completed acts due to their increased social danger. The dialectical method in combination with instrumental methods of cognition was used as a methodological basis. During the study, it was established that in the current criminal law, reduced offenses in the form of preparation and attempt are contained in eight chapters of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The legislative-textual approach to truncated crimes made it possible to identify a number of significant shortcomings in the texts of articles. In particular, in the same part of the articles there is an integration of completed and unfinished compositions, different in the degree of social danger, a combination of types of accomplices in one part of the article, and the formulation in different parts of the article of instructions on the liability of one accomplice , repetition of identical features in the disposition of the article, etc. Based on the results of the study, the author comes to a number of conclusions: in criminal legislation, along with traditional crimes, there are reduced crimes that represent structurally incomplete criminal acts. Reduced acts, the signs of which are specified in the regulations of the Special Part of the Criminal Code, are unfinished types of crimes, and reduced acts, the signs of which are given in the norms of the Special Part, are qualified as completed crimes due to their increased social danger. A text-centric approach to criminal legal regulations allows us to identify shortcomings in the legislative text and make proposals aimed at improving the quality of the legislative text by eliminating existing legislative and technical defects.

Authors: Chumakov Aleksey
Published: April 2024

The author considers the current features of the study of law enforcement practice in cases of embezzlement of budgetary funds. The analysis of the most effective research tools is presented, namely, the method of interviewing practitioners and the method of expert assessments. As an illustration of the application of these methods, the research process of studying the identity of a criminal as an element of criminalistic characteristics in cases of such a type of embezzlement of budgetary funds as fraud with maternity capital is analyzed. The paper substantiates the need for a criminologist-developer to study the materials of pre-investigation inspections, as well as the priority of identifying and investigating the most socially dangerous, highly organized embezzlement, with a corruption component. Criminology as a science should direct its main efforts to the development of methods of investigation of such crimes.
Legal regulation of cyberextremism and cyberterrorism: challenges and opportunities
Authors: Mel'nik Svyatoslav
Published: April 2024

The article is devoted to a comprehensive analysis of cyberterrorism and cyberextremism as the most dangerous social phenomena that have become widespread due to the development of information technologies, especially in the field of the Internet information and telecommunications network. The author investigates the theoretical concepts of understanding cyberterrorism as a legal definition, examines the historical features of the development of this phenomenon, identifies various approaches in the legal regulation of cyberterrorism in India, Nigeria and the Philippines. The author offers his own definition of cyberextremism, which is based on the compilation of constitutive features of cyberterrorism (as an self-determined phenomenon) and extremism. Particular attention is paid to the polysystem of legal regulation of the fight against cyberextremism and cyberterrorism (universal level of legal regulation, regional level of legal regulation and national legal regulation). The study of overseas experience of legal regulation allowed to shift the focus from the universal level of international legal regulation to the regional one, which will significantly affect the regional security structure. In the course of the study, the author came to the conclusion that the most promising area of regional cooperation in the fight against cyberextremism for the Russian Federation will be the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (further — SCO). This is due to the fact that the SCO is the only international organization that has a conventional regulation of extremism per se. The expansion of cooperation is appropriate given the fact that cyber extremism is a certain form of extremism, as well as the experience of the Republic of India as a SCO member state, which has relevant national legislation aimed at countering cyberterrorism

Humour, Subversion and Voice of a Subaltern: Reading “Truth Vow” as LeitMotif in Habib Tanvir’s Play Charandas Chor
Authors: Sweety Ruhel
Published: April 2024

In the cultural and sociological context, “Truth” and “Vow” appear as crucial motifs in Indian myths, Vedas, and epics. Truth is believed to be a virtue and a vow is a solemn promise that we make in different social, cultural, political, and religious contexts, and a truth vow combidly becomes a virtuous promise. The most prominent example of a truth vow is used in court cases, where the witness proclaims that “solemnly I vow to speak only and only truth” in Indian law proceedings (no one can assure that it really happens but the court believes it so). Other examples of vowing include marriage communion, religious occasions, and constitutional and self-motivation. One such leitmotif of “Truth Vow” extrapolates the dramatic narrative of the play “Charandas Chor”(1975) written by playwright Habib Tanvir. The truth, as a leitmotif, ferments subversive humour for the spectator and reader of the play. Playwright Tanvir presented truth not only as a virtue but binds it with a vow, thus enlarging it as a characteristic trait of the Protagonist. This leitmotif becomes a subjugating tool and with this, the marginalised character locates his own voice in the end. Therefore, this paper discusses the role of “Truth Vow” as leitmotifs in the play “Charandas Chor” (1975) along with its humour and utterance. The play has previously been read as a social critic, for its folk elements, and its subaltern representation, but here, the aim is to read truth as a voice, which even when suppressed by the hegemonic powers, resists in its disappearance. Here, the method of textual analysis is used to evaluate the play. The text is read to locate instances of the truth and its positioning and to negotiate with masses subverting aspects.

Este estudo examina a relação entre a exposição solar e o desenvolvimento do Carcinoma Basocelular (CBC), focando em sintomas, incidências geográficas e etárias, e métodos de proteção solar. Utilizando uma metodologia de revisão de literatura, a pesquisa acessa bancos de dados como PubMed, Scielo e Google Scholar para selecionar estudos que discutem a etiologia e prevenção do CBC. A seleção foi feita com base em critérios qualitativos e descritivos, excluindo pesquisas não pertinentes ao tema. Os resultados apontam a radiação ultravioleta como o principal fator de risco para o CBC, com a exposição solar destacada como um fator significativo. As estratégias eficazes de prevenção, como o uso de protetor solar e vestuário de proteção, são enfatizadas, assim como a importância do diagnóstico precoce para um prognóstico favorável. As abordagens preventivas também incluem redução da exposição ao sol e educação sobre os riscos associados ao bronzeamento artificial. A conclusão do estudo sublinha a necessidade crítica de implementar medidas preventivas e promover a educação sobre os riscos do CBC. Campanhas educativas para fomentar comportamentos de proteção solar desde a infância são essenciais para reduzir a incidência e impacto do CBC. Clinicamente, o manejo do CBC requer uma abordagem multidisciplinar que prioriza a prevenção e o diagnóstico precoce. Estratégias eficazes de proteção solar, conscientização sobre os riscos do bronzeamento artificial e vigilância dermatológica regular são fundamentais para diminuir a incidência de CBC e melhorar o prognóstico dos pacientes, reforçando a necessidade de uma educação proativa e uma abordagem preventiva na saúde pública.

To meet these expectations, banks have expanded their industry landscape to include retail, information technology and telecommunications through the use of services such as mobile banking, e-banking and real-time money transfers. While these advancements have enabled customers to access most banking services at their convenience, they have also come at a high cost to the banking sector. However, implementing AI in banking and financial services has drawbacks such as concerns about data security and privacy, algorithmic bias, and possible impact on operations. It is very important to address these concerns and ensure that AI is used ethically and responsibly as it becomes more prevalent in banking and financial services. This research paper aims to explore the impact of AI on the banking industry, focusing on its application in areas such as fraud detection, customer service, risk management and personalized marketing. Based on a comprehensive analysis of industry reports, academic research and case studies, this paper will examine the benefits and challenges of AI adoption in the banking industry, as well as the future implications of this technology for the industry.

Published: April 2024

Introducción: La sialoadenitis crónica es producida por cálculos, depósitos de moco, estenosis ductal o inflamación crónica, y afecta principalmente la glándula submaxilar. Inicialmente, se indica manejo médico; en casos recurrentes, adenectomía o extracción del cálculo son de elección. La morbilidad asociada a adenectomía por lesión del nervio facial, cicatriz externa, persistencia de síntomas y mayor tiempo de recuperación han llevado a buscar opciones más funcionales que respeten la fisiología de la glándula. Métodos: Estudio de serie retrospectiva de pacientes con enfermedad salivar benigna, adultos mayores de 18 años tratados con sialoendoscopia como primera opción. Se excluyeron pacientes con cálculos >1 cm. Resultados: Sialoendoscopia en 44 pacientes con patología no oncológica durante 5 años; 75 % fueron mujeres, mayormente afectó las glándulas submaxilares. La principal causa fue litiasis, cálculo de tamaño promedio de 10 mm. 78 % se trataron por vía endoscópica pura con papilotomía para inserción del equipo; en 3 no se encontró el conducto y 3 necesitaron sialoadenectomía abierta. 76 % permanecieron asintomáticos después del procedimiento. Hubo complicaciones infecciosas en 2. La mediana del tiempo quirúrgico fue de 75 minutos y seguimiento de 45 días. Discusión: frente a estudios disponibles en la literatura, hubo más mujeres, la glándula más afectada fue la parótida y la tasa de éxito fue mayor frente al artículo de Katz; pero al compararlo con otros fue estándar, y se reportaron menores tasas de complicaciones frente a los demás estudios citados. Conclusión: la sialoendoscopia es un tratamiento viable y seguro para la enfermedad salivar benigna.

La deformidad de orejas en pantalla o prominauris es una de las deformidades congénitas más frecuentes en la región de cabeza y cuello y representa la principal alteración del pabellón auricular, lo que afecta aproximadamente al 5 % de la población mundial. Las principales alteraciones que causan esta deformidad son la falta de formación del antihélix o una concha prominente. Las técnicas quirúrgicas de otoplastia se pueden agrupar en dos grandes grupos: las basadas en el uso de suturas y las que consisten en el corte del cartílago del pabellón auricular. En la actualidad existen una gran cantidad de técnicas quirúrgicas descritas en la literatura. El objetivo de este artículo es realizar la descripción de una técnica de otoplastia híbrida.

The separation and recovery of valuable metals from the Huayangchuan uranium polymetallic ore was investigated based on mineralogical research and mineral processing experiments. The most promising valuable elements in the ore, according to mineralogical studies, are U, Nb, and Pb. 95.75% of U and 93.00% of Nb are found in betafite, 46.85% of Pb is present in galena, 52.01% of Pb occurs in cerussite, and associated Ag exists primarily in galena. The beneficiation process involving gravity concentration, magnetic separation, and flotation was determined based on the mineralogical characteristics of the ore. The U-Nb concentrate with U grade of 3578 ppm and recovery of 83.18 %, Nb2O5 grade of 4391 ppm and recovery of 74.55 % can be obtained, and five elements including U, Nb, Pb, Ag, and Fe are recovered. Compared with the previous beneficiation experimental process, the flowsheet is greatly simplified and the beneficiation recovery efficiency has been improved. The results of this investigation can help to address the gaps in the processing of low-grade uranium deposits with similar mineralogical properties.

Generally, sub-Saharan countries suffer setbacks in regard to capital accumulation necessary to sponsor investment demands, thus promoting economic development. As a result, they look out for foreign sources such as foreign direct investment (FDI) to augment the investment-saving gap. Recently, due to global shake-ups and uncertainty, there has been a drastic fluctuation in the level of FDI inflow into the West African sub-region, especially in the two giant economies of Nigeria and Ghana. This attracted the attention of this research work. Thus, this study comparatively reassesses the contribution of FDI inflow to the economic development of these giant economies from 1980 to 2020 to determine which one of them benefits the most given the fluctuation in FDI inflows. The outcome reveals that FDI inflows have a significant influence on the economic development of both economies. In Nigeria particularly, evidence shows a strong positive correlation between FDI and Gross Domestic Product Per Capita (GDPPC), implying that the Nigerian economy is investment-driven in the period under consideration. Essentially, the Nigerian economy can achieve its desired development with FDI support. Similarly, findings indicate that FDI inflows into Ghana have a strong positive impact on economic development. Thus, a recommendation is made for the Ghanaian government to source more foreign resources by opening her economic borders wide for global integration. Pursuance of trade liberation policy for the purpose of attracting more foreign resources is critical to the attainment of sustainable economic development in both economies. Policy actions enabling stable macroeconomic conditions and a peaceful environment for smooth investment operations are key factors guaranteeing economic development.
Nanoparticle-functionalized acrylic bone cement for local therapeutic delivery to spine metastases

Published: April 2024

Aim: Polymethylmethacrylate bone cement is often used to reconstruct critical-sized defects generated by the surgical resection of spinal metastases. Residual tumor cells after a resection can drive recurrence and destabilization. Doxorubicin (DOX) is a common chemotherapeutic drug with unwanted side-effects when administered systemically. Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (NPs) are gaining attention for targeted drug delivery to bypass the negative side effects associated with systemic drug administration. An NP-functionalized cement was developed for the local release of DOX and its ability to suppress cancer cells was tested.
Methods: DOX was loaded onto NPs which were then mixed into the cement. Static contact angles were measured. Drug release profiles were obtained over a period of 4 weeks. Cement constructs were incubated with two-dimensional (2D) cultures of human bone-marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells and human osteoblasts, as well as 2D and three-dimensional (3D) cultures of breast and prostate cancer cell lines. Cell metabolic activity and viability were evaluated. Cell migration and spheroid growth of cancer cell lines were assessed in collagen-coated spheroid cultures.
Results: NPs were homogenously dispersed and did not alter the mechanical strength nor the wettability of the cement. A sustained DOX release profile was achieved with the addition of NPs to the bone cement. The release profile of DOX from NP cement may be modified by varying the amount of the drug loaded onto the NPs and the proportion of NPs in the cement. Cancer cells treated with the cement constructs showed a dose- and time-dependent inhibition, with minimal toxicity against healthy cells. Cancer cell migration and spheroid growth were impaired in 3D culture.
Conclusions: NPs were shown to be essential for sustained DOX release from bone cement. DOX-loaded NP cement can inhibit cancer cells and impair their migration, with strong potential for in vivo translation studies.
