PECULIARITIES OF THE COURSE OF PULMONARY SARCOIDOSIS AGAINST THE BACKDROP OF SYSTEMIC VASCULITIS AND THE INFLUENCE OF A SET OF TRIGGERS
Authors: Lishchuk-Yakymovych Khrystyna , Cherniuk Nataliia , Derkach Marianna , Tolokh Olga , Majsiak Emilia
Published: January 2025

The review focused on managing patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis against the backdrop of systemic vasculitis and the influence of a set of triggers which can be manifested by basal lymphadenopathy, infiltration of lung tissue, and damage to the eyes and skin, histologically characterized by the formation of non-caseous epithelioid-cell granulomas. A clinical case for managing patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis against systemic vasculitis was proposed. In this clinical case, it is crucial to consider the multifactorial nature of the pathology in the patient with the dominance of exogenous triggers (autoimmune pathology, sensitization, exposure to infectious factors, chemicals, stress), which can trigger the development of PS, complicate the course of accompanying pathology, and deteriorate the quality of life. Additionally, diagnosing PS in patients with other lung pathology, such as bronchial asthma, is often tricky and can affect the course of the underlying disease. Long-term immunosuppressive therapy may cause a secondary infection (viral, bacterial, fungal), which may require adequate etiotropic therapy.

Authors: Ningrum Retno Amalia , Farid Muhammad
Published: January 2025

Uganda was one of the countries, which have received South Sudanese refugees since 2013. Since that period of time, South Sudanese refugee children in Uganda have faced challenges such as school dropouts, health issues, hunger, and family loss. Amid this crisis, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) intervened through Dubai Cares to support the rights of South Sudanese refugee children in Uganda through education program. The research employs a qualitative method by analyzing primary data from official government reports and websites, as well as secondary data from academic literature, reports, and online newspaper publications to examine the implementation of the Dubai Cares project for South Sudanese refugee children in Uganda. The concept of soft power is used to understand how the UAE leverages the Dubai Cares as a soft power instrument. Soft power concept serves to confirm that the UAE uses Dubai Cares to spread the country’s influence without resorting to coercive measures. The study finds that Dubai Cares enhances the UAE's attractiveness, reputation, and influence on the international stage through its educational programs for South Sudanese children in Uganda.

Authors: Das Gokul , Murugesan A. , Gupta Sushil , Adhisivam B.
Published: January 2025

Objectives:

The objectives of this study were to evaluate whether gastric lavage with expressed breastmilk (EBM) decreases the incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) among very low-birth-weight (VLBW) infants compared to standard care.

Material and Methods:

This open-label randomized controlled trial included VLBW infants who were randomized to receive either gastric lavage with EBM (intervention group) or standard care (control group). The primary outcome assessed was the incidence of NEC. Secondary outcomes were mortality, duration of hospital stay, days to achieve full feeds, and weight gain at discharge.

Results:

A total of 99 neonates were enrolled (51 in the intervention group and 48 in the control group). NEC rates were similar in both groups (5.9% vs. 4.2%; P = 0.39). However, there was a significant reduction in mortality in the intervention group (1.9% vs. 14.6%, P = 0.04).

Conclusion:

Gastric lavage with EBM did not reduce the incidence of NEC in the population studied, but there was a significant reduction in mortality in the intervention group.

Published: January 2025

Transition-metal hydrides (TMHs) find numerous applications across fields, from catalysis to H2 storage. Yet, determining the structure of TMHs can remain a challenge, as hydrogen is difficult to detect by X-ray based or classical spectroscopic techniques. Considering that deuterium isotope (D) is a quadrupolar nucleus (I = 1) and that a quadrupolar coupling constant (CQ) depends on the distance between D and its bonding partner E (dED), we evaluate this trend across molecularly-defined transition-metal deuterides (TMDs) through a systematic investigation across TM block elements using both computations and experiments. We show that the M–D bond distance (dMD) in [Å] correlates with the CQ values in [kHz] as dMD = 7.83(CQ + 28.7)-1/3 - independently from the nature of the TM - with an accuracy > 0.04-0.08 Å. Based on experimental CQ values measured by 2H solid-state NMR, this simple correlation is then used to obtain the M-D bond distances in two silica-supported TMDs (M = Zr and Ir), notable heterogeneous catalysts, representing early and late TMDs, where evaluating M-D bond distances by other means is very challenging. Considering the ease of measurement, this method is readily applicable to a large range of diamagnetic terminal M–Ds, from molecular to surface sites, making 2H NMR a method of choice to measure TMDs bond distances.

Published: January 2025

The popularity of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) photogrammetry is growing worldwide due to its low-cost advantage in collecting high-resolution 3D topographic models. This research aims to ascertain the impact of Ground Control Points (GCPs) located on building roofs on facade accuracy. A UAV survey covering 10.37 hectares was conducted to achieve this goal. The research utilised 91 GCPs for geo-referencing, with 38 on the ground and 53 on the roofs of the buildings in the area. Images were obtained with three different flight patterns: single (S), double (D), and circular (C), which represent flight routes. The images acquired from the flights have been subjected to two distinct GCP configurations, and two models were obtained for each flight pattern. The point cloud produced by a robotic total station was used to ensure the accuracy of the facades of the buildings in the models. The standard deviation (std. dev.) of the distances between the points on the facade and the reference planes (RPs) were used as a measure of accuracy. The std. dev. values of the model facades were compared by each other while considering the number of points of the surfaces. Average std. dev. values of the models fluctuate within a range of 7 to 11 cm

Published: January 2025

The objective of this study was to explore if using ANDHII improves NCP confidence and documentation quality. This quasi-experimental trial was conducted with n = 43 undergraduate dietetic students. NCP confidence was measured before and after a traditional case study, and after an ANDHII case study. Documentation quality was measured using a validated quality audit tool. Confidence increased from time 1 to time 2 (p = 0.008), and from time 2 to time 3 (p = 0.003). Documentation quality was higher for the ANDHII documentation compared to the non-ANDHII documentation (p < 0.001) but lower when compared to the traditional ADIME (p = 0.03). Familiarizing students with ANDHII improved NCP confidence. Opportunities exist to improve ANDHII functionality and positively impact documentation quality.

Metformin is the most commonly used drug in antihyperglycemic treatment in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2 DM). In recent years, there have been many studies reporting B12 deficiency in diabetic individuals using metformin drug. This study evaluates B12 deficiency in individuals with T2 DM diagnosis using metformin in our hospital. This study is a cross-sectional and descriptive research. In this study, the data of 786 patients who applied to the Mugla Education and Research Hospital Internal Medicine outpatient clinic with T2DM diagnosis and used metformin between January 01, 2018 and March 01, 2019 were evaluated. Demographic data, vitamin B12, HbA1c levels of the patients were obtained retrospectively from the hospital information system records. Patients with missing data were excluded from the study.347 (44.1%) male and 439 (55.9%) female patients were included in the study. Metformin dose of 248 (31.6%) of the patients was 1000 mg or less, 123 (15.6%) was 1700 mg, 414 (52.8%) was 2000 mg or more. According to the distribution of medication use, 161 (20.5%) patients were receiving metformin only, 322 (41%) patients were receiving metformin + other oral antidiabetic agents (OAD), and 303 (38.5%) patients were receiving metformin + insulin treatment. Vitamin B12 deficiency (57.8%) was higher in patients aged 60 years old and was over who used metformin (p<0.001). 347 (44.1%) of the patients included in the study received vitamin B12 replacement. We detected serious B12 deficiency in patients with T2DM who used metformin, especially in patients aged over 60 years old. Therefore, we emphasize the importance to monitor vitamin B12 levels in patients who are started on metformin and to perform B12 replacement in patients who are found to be deficient.

Authors: John Siju , Mishra Dinesh Kumar
Published: January 2025

Gender, location, and religious diversity are the main topics of this research, which examines the connection between social values and learning practices among secondary school pupils in Satna District. 770 peoples from both rural and urban locations had their data examined using a stratified random sample technique. Aspects like responsibility, equality, service, peace, tolerance, and environmental care were all assessed in the survey. In everything save environmental concern, where no discernible difference was seen, female students had higher mean scores. In service and equality, rural students outperformed their urban counterparts, but there were no discernible differences in other areas. Though not much in other areas, religious membership had an impact on how people saw equality. In order to promote holistic development, our results underscore the need of context-sensitive educational interventions by highlighting the complex interactions between demographic determinants and value formation.

Authors: Chandanshive Ajit Baburao
Published: January 2025

This study examines the work-life balance and well-being of employees from the IT and Education sectors, focusing on gender differences and sector-specific challenges. The research explores how work-life balance impacts employee well-being in these distinct sectors and investigates the role of organizational culture, job demands, and personal coping strategies. The study involved 60 employees (30 male and 30 female) from Pune district, with 15 males and 15 females from each sector, all with at least 10 years of experience. Data was collected using the Work-Life Balance Scale (WLBS) and the Ryff Scales of Psychological Well-Being (PWBS). Statistical analysis revealed no significant difference in work-life balance between the IT and Education sectors (t=0.27, not significant) or between male and female employees (t=0.26, not significant). However, employees in the Education sector reported significantly higher well-being compared to their IT industry counterparts (t=2.66, p<0.01). Additionally, female employees reported better well-being than male employees (t=3.919, p<0.001). The study concludes that work-life balance issues are not significantly affected by gender, but sector-related differences in well-being exist, with the Education sector showing higher well-being scores. These findings highlight the importance of understanding sector-specific challenges to enhance employee well-being and work-life balance.
Authentication of Java Turmeric (Curcuma xanthorrhiza) from Turmeric (Curcuma longa) Using a Combination of UV-VIS-IR Spectrum and Chemometrics
Authors: Izzati Mumpuni Nur , Syafitri Utami Dyah , Mohamad Rafi
Published: January 2025

Java turmeric (Curcuma xanthorriza) and turmeric (Curcuma longa) show similar colors, so they have the potential to be adulterated with each other, especially if they are presented in powder. This research aims to develop an analytical method for authenticating both types of samples with adulterant concentrations of 0.01% w/w and 0.005% w/w for the infrared range and 0.5 μg/g and 1 μg/g for the UV-Vis range. The pure sample was extracted for 40 minutes with 1:10 ethanol using ultrasonication. The extract was then concentrated using a rotary evaporator and freeze dryer. Adulterant samples were prepared by mixing both types of extracts. The absorption of the solution was measured at a wavelength of 200–800 nm and a wave number of 4000–400 cm-1. Multivariate analysis using partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) and soft independent modeling of class analogies (SIMCA) was performed on the spectra. PLS-DA has not been able to authenticate adulterated samples. However, SIMCA analysis can detect differences between pure curcuma and adulterated samples in the infrared range until a concentration of 0.005% w/w, while it can only authenticate correctly in the UV-Vis range until a 1 μg/g concentration.
