Authors:   University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, North Carolina, Adams George L. , Subramanian Vinayak
Published: March 2023

Objective. To understand the impact of fluence and repetition rate on outcomes of superficial femoral artery (SFA) and popliteal artery laser atherectomy based on lesion type (calcific, homogenous, heterogeneous, and restenosis). Methods. Patients with de novo or restenotic (≥50%) SFA and popliteal artery atherosclerotic disease were enrolled. All lesions were sequentially treated with Turbo-Power laser atherectomy (Spectranetics) at 3 predetermined intensity settings: low (fluency, 40 mJ/mm2; repetition rate, 60 Hz); medium (fluency, 60 mJ/mm2; repetition rate, 40 Hz); and high (fluency, 60 mJ/mm2; repetition rate, 60 Hz). Angiography and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) were performed to characterize plaque morphology and evaluate residual stenosis. Follow-up was 30 days and medical records were reviewed through 12 months for adverse events. Results. Forty-five patients with 57 lesions (12 homogenous, 15 heterogeneous, 15 calcific, and 15 restenotic) were enrolled. Rutherford classification ranged from 2-5, average lesion length was 98.2 ± 91.2 mm, and average diameter stenosis was 82.5 ± 17.9%. Compared with baseline, all lesion types had significant improvement in final postprocedure (atherectomy + any adjunctive therapies) diameter stenosis. Prior to adjunctive therapy, the heterogeneous and restenosis groups saw improvement in minimum lumen area following each stage of the laser treatment. However, the calcific and homogenous groups saw little change in minimum lumen area between the medium- and high-intensity laser treatments. Within 6 months, a total of 6 patients had target-lesion revascularizations. No major amputations or deaths occurred through follow-up. Conclusion. Laser intensity settings during atherectomy should be selected based on lesion morphology. IVUS was essential in defining plaque morphology.

Authors:   Advanced Cardiac and Vascular Amputation Prevention Center, Mustapha Jihad
Published: March 2023

Despite advancing technologies available to treat CLI, we clearly have a long journey ahead of us on behalf of our patients. With the Journal of Critical Limb Ischemia, we are pleased to be able to provide a forum for original CLI work that will be reviewed by multidisciplinary, international CLI experts who understand the complex nature of CLI. The Editorial Board of Journal of Critical Limb Ischemia comprises physicians from across the globe who understand the difficulty and complexity of gathering CLI data. They are vascular surgeons, interventional cardiologists and radiologists, podiatrists, angiologists, and wound care experts. These experts are well aware of the reality of the advanced and complex nature of CLI disease with high 5-year mortality. Because of this, we believe that CLI trials should be modeled after diseases that have a high mortality rate over a short period of time. We must be able to capture the true nature of the disease and its impact on patients affected by it. If we continue to model CLI studies under the conventional nature of vascular disease in general we will never be able to achieve meaningful and convincing data to change the course of therapy. We desperately need new technologies to treat CLI to reduce the incidence of unnecessary amputations occurring in the United States and throughout the world. We clearly can, and must, do better. Our patients are demanding progress.

Purpose. Identification of prenatal factors influencing on the retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) development and severity of its course. Material and methods. A retrospective analysis of 90 case histories of premature patients was carried out. There were 3 groups of clinical trials: children without ROP development (30 children), children with ROP development with severe course of type I, requiring surgical treatment (30 children) and children with type II ROP that ended in spontaneous regression (30 children). Results. The detection of cervical ectopia in the mother can potentially be used as a risk factor for predicting the development of ROP and its severe course during screening. The presence of miscarriages in the mother’s obstetric history is associated with a high risk of ROP requiring surgical treatment. Maternal history of medical abortion does not significantly affect the risk of developing ROP in a premature newborn. The presence in the anamnesis of a mother of an undeveloped (missed) pregnancy is a risk factor for the development of ROP and its severe course in a premature baby. Threatened abortion in the 1st trimester and its treatment with progesterone analogues are associated with a reduced risk of developing ROP and a decrease in its severity. The development of preeclampsia is not associated with a high risk of developing and severe ROP. Somatic pathology, maternal hypertension and a history of hepatitis do not affect the development of ROP. Conclusion. The presence of an ectopic cervix in the mother, miscarriages and undeveloped pregnancy in an obstetric history are prenatal risk factors for retinopathy of prematurity. Key words: prenatal risk factors, retinopathy of prematurity, premature baby, cervical ectopia, miscarriage, missed pregnancy, preeclampsia

Purpose. To evaluate volume and nosological forms of ophthalmic surgery cases in the pediatric department of the ophthalmology surgery and analyze their effectiveness. Material and methods. A continuous retrospective number of all ophthalmic surgery in the pediatric ophthalmology department of the Khabarovsk branch of the S. Fyodorov Eye Microsurgery Federal State Institution for three years (from January 2019 to December 2021). Results. 5025 children aged from 1 month to 18 years old were operated. Surgical treatment of pathology of oculomotor apparatus was performed in 2304 (45.9%) patients, scleral remodeling in progressive myopia – 1088 (21.7%) people, probing for congenital lacrimal ducts obstruction – 619 (12.3%) children. In 463 (9.2%) children, surgical removal of the chalazion was performed. 166 (3.3%) children were operated for eyelid, conjunctival and orbital tumors. 120 patients (2.4%) underwent surgical revascularization for optic nerve atrophy of various origins. 96 children underwent surgical correction of various congenital eyelid anomalies. During this period, 169 premature babies (3.4%) were under observation in the department. Of these, at threshold stages of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), 34 patients underwent laser coagulation of avascular areas of retina, 22 patients received intravitreal ranibizumab injection, 14 children with stage 4 or 5 ROP underwent endovitreal intervention of traction retinal detachment. Conclusion. The volume of ophthalmic surgery performed in the pediatric department is quite high, the largest proportions are various methods for eliminating the pathology of oculomotor apparatus and scleral remodeling in progressive myopia. In most cases of strabismus and ptosis surgery, it was possible to achieve complete or partial elimination of pathology. Stabilization of the progressive course of myopia was achieved in 67.9% of cases, threshold stages of ROP – in 91.7%. The high demand of population for surgical treatment of pediatric ophthalmopathology indicates the need for further development and improvement of this area.

Published: March 2023

Аннотация. Главной целью данного исследования стало выявление мест распространения на территории Российской Федерации особого вида геоглифов – лесоглифов, сформированных в период существования Советского Союза, с целью последующего проектирования, создания, анализа и определения возможностей практическое использование карт геоглифов, полученных с использованием возможностей геоинформационных систем и технологий. На основе анализа литературных и интернет-источников, и данных дистанционного зондирования получены геоизображения лесоглифов – геоглифов, созданные путем посадки деревьев, формирующих необходимый рисунок. Лесоглифы являются наиболее интересными и крайне специфическими геоглифами более молодого (в отличие от наиболее известных) возраста, созданными в период существования Союза Советских Социалистических Республик. Подобные лесоглифы в виде надписей создавались к юбилейным датам, чаще всего Дня Победы. Но посвящались они и какому-нибудь другому особенному празднику или событию и могли быть посвящены, например, самому В. И. Ленину или годовщинам со дня рождения вождя трудящихся мирового пролетариата, Великой Октябрьской социалистической революции, образования Союза Советских Социалистических Республик, Коммунистическому союзу молодежи, Коммунистической партии Советского Союза либо ее съездам. Представляя собой надписи в виде разного рода поздравлений и лозунгов, чаще всего они имеют идеологическую направленность. Их делали массово, и сегодня сохранилось более пятидесяти подобных геоглифов. При этом наибольшее количество лесоглифов в разных вариантах посвящены именно В.И. Ленину и один из наиболее старых из них был высажен вблизи д. Макачёво Вологодской области в год его смерти в 1924 г. В больших количествах геоглифы советского времени начали появляться в СССР в 70-х годах XX в., когда по стране массово высаживалось огромное число деревьев. Тем не менее, информация о них стала известной не только местным жителям и широко доступной лишь с начала XXI в. – с развитием сети Интернет и увеличением доступности спутниковых снимков высокого разрешения. На данном этапе исследования с использованием методов анализа литературных и интернет-источников исследуемой тематики, инвентаризации, описания, сравнения, анализа, оценки, дистанционного зондирования Земли были выявлены местоположение, особенности пространственного распространения, количество и важнейшие характеристики лесоглифов на территории современной России.
Using Saliva and LAMP for Non-invasive Detection of Communicable Pathogens in Low Medical Access Regions Reham
Authors: Alhakeem Reham , Arruda Vitória , Steinberg Kaylin , Code Christian , Freitas Neves Adriana
Published: March 2023

Diagnosis of pathogens using invasive sample collection (blood, nasopharyngeal) and expensive equipment is slow to implement in a pandemic setting. Saliva is an under-utilized matrix that has a lot of potential to be utilized for diagnosing communicable diseases. This is a suitable matrix in places with low medical access or where the infrastructure is lacking due to an outbreak. With a noninvasive matrix it allows for faster sampling and reduces the amount of exposure of the disease to others including medical professionals. New molecular biology techniques can allow the capture and amplification of small amounts of viral DNA/RNA, bacterial DNA, or parasitic DNA. Several different techniques and tools could be used to amplify and diagnose viz. Polymerase Chain Reaction, Isothermal Loop-Mediated Amplification (LAMP). Recently, CRISPR-Cas, optimized Sanger sequencing and Next Generation Sequencing have been developed but it is not useful for routine diagnosis. For low access regions or where diagnostic testing infrastructure is lacking LAMP is clearly optimal due to its limited need for equipment and reagents. Collection of saliva is the best biofluid for low medical access regions. In this review we show that LAMP can be utilized to diagnose several diseases from a simple saliva sample in different regions of the world with low medical access. In this review we will look at specific pathogens and suggest using LAMP to diagnose from genomic material found in saliva.
The role ofLimch1alternative splicing in skeletal muscle function
Authors: Penna Matthew S , Hu Rong-Chi , Rodney George G , Cooper Thomas A
Published: March 2023

Postnatal skeletal muscle development is a highly dynamic period associated with widespread alternative splicing changes required to adapt tissues to adult function. These splicing events have significant implications because the reversion of adult mRNA isoforms to fetal isoforms is observed in forms of muscular dystrophy. LIMCH1 is a stress fiber–associated protein that is alternatively spliced to generate uLIMCH1, a ubiquitously expressed isoform, and mLIMCH1, a skeletal muscle–specific isoform containing six additional exons simultaneously included after birth in the mouse. CRISPR/Cas9 was used to delete the six alternatively spliced exons of LIMCH1 in mice, thereby forcing the constitutive expression of the predominantly fetal isoform, uLIMCH1. mLIMCH1 knockout mice had significant grip strength weakness in vivo, and maximum force generated was decreased ex vivo. Calcium-handling deficits were observed during myofiber stimulation that could explain the mechanism by which mLIMCH1 knockout leads to muscle weakness. In addition,LIMCH1is mis-spliced in myotonic dystrophy type 1, with the muscleblind-like (MBNL) family of proteins acting as the likely major regulator ofLimch1alternative splicing in skeletal muscle.
The effect of local economic shocks on local and national elections
Authors: Herreño Juan , Morales Matías , Pedemonte Mathieu O.
Published: March 2023

We study the reaction of voters to shifts in local economic conditions. Using the departure from the gold standard of US trading partners in 1931 and the US in 1933, we exploit heterogeneity in export destinations, creating local differences in expenditure-switching in US counties by isolating the aggregate effects of the monetary shocks using time fixed effects. We find significant changes in local voting behavior in response to both shocks, one originating abroad, and another domestically. The response to both shocks have similar magnitude. We argue that voters punished and rewarded incumbents regardless of the shocks’ origin, implying strong feedback from economic conditions to electoral outcomes.

Four treatments (Dadaguard Plus (0.05%), mugwort (Titepati) Oil (0.05%), azadiractin (Neem) Oil (0.25%), and tobacco extract (1%) of different botanicals and an absolute control) were evaluated in a field experiment against a lepidopteran pest, the leaf eating caterpillar infesting large cardamom, in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with an area of 4.2× 3.88 m2 in each experimental unit having 5 treatments with 4 replications at Khandbari, Sankhuwasabha, Nepal. Leaf-eating caterpillars cause a white papery thin epidermis-like structure at the primary stage and defoliation of the plant, leaving the midrib of the leaves, symptoms at the severe stage. Treatment-wise application of botanicals was done by using a high-volume knapsack sprayer, and the number of larvae per plant was counted at different time intervals, viz., 3, 5, and 7 days after spraying (DAS), to access the effectiveness of the treatments. The botanical pesticides caused significant differences in their effects against the leaf-eating caterpillar. Among the different botanicals, Dadaguard Plus (0.05 %) was found highly effective in managing the leaf-eating caterpillar in large cardamom, followed by neem oil (0.25%), tobacco extract (1%), titepati oil (0.05%), and untreated control, respectively. Dadaguard could be considered an effective botanical in the successful management of the pest leaf eating caterpillar due to its efficacy.

Las variables que más se relacionaron con el riesgo de mortalidad en el sitio de plantación fueron: exposición, fertilización, diámetro y CPR.
Brasil após a eclosão da Covid-19: relações entre a informalidade do trabalho e o recolhimento do FGTS
Authors: GOMES MARINA CAROLINE SOUSA VIEIRA
Published: March 2023

Em 1980, diversos fatores desencadearam a informalidade do mercado de trabalho brasileiro (VARGAS, 2016). Esse fenômeno cresceu exponencialmente durante a pandemia da COVID-19, que imprimiu nova dinâmica à economia mundial e deflagrou a pior crise da história do mercado de trabalho brasileiro (MATTEI; HEINEN, 2022). Os trabalhadores por conta própria chegaram a 24,4 milhões, 3% acima do trimestre anterior do ano de 2019 (mais 720 mil pessoas) e 8,7% superior (mais 2 milhões de pessoas) ao trimestre findo em maio de 2020 segundo dados informados pelo IBGE.
O volume de trabalhadores informais chegou a 48,7% da população ocupada, no fim do segundo trimestre de 2021 - dado mais recente -, ante 45,7% no primeiro trimestre de 2012 e o pico anterior de 48,5% no terceiro trimestre de 2019, segundo levantamentos, com base em micro dados da Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílios (Pnad) Contínua Trimestral. Isso significa que o Brasil tem hoje mais de 42,7 milhões de informais, o que inclui todos os trabalhadores sem carteira assinada e os por conta própria, cuja maioria é informal, mas exclui os empregadores, que são em sua maioria formais (GOMBATA, 2021).
Nesse cenário, a pesquisa se faz importante academicamente de forma imediata por trazer elementos importantes para se estudar as consequências da redução da formalidade no mercado de trabalho brasileiro para o desenho do sistema de tributação (e arrecadação) nacional. De forma mediata, a pandemia da COVID-19 (assim classificada pela Organização Mundial de Saúde) traz a necessidade de que sejam revisitados institutos e estruturas sociais para que se investiguem as consequências e a eventual necessidade de adaptação. Nesse sentido, justifica-se de forma mediata o estudo, diante dos impactos pandêmicos percebidos pelo mercado de trabalho.
Importance of the radiations in water splitting for hydrogen generation
Authors: Gunel Imanova , Ilkhom Bekpulatov , Anar Aliyev , Sami Barkaoui
Published: March 2023

The review article examines the production of molecular hydrogen from the decomposition of water by various irradiation methods. The article shows different types of radiation: UV radiation, visible radiation, gamma radiation, X-ray radiation and neutron radiation. Electrons generated by radiation inside a nanoparticle of radius R suspense in fluid water are diffused with equal probability in all directions inside the particle and gradually lose their kinetic energy as a result of elastic and inelastic collisions. Some of these electrons are transported to the nanoparticle surface during the physical and physicochemical stages of the process and emitted into the water. It is extremely important for the formation of nanostructured materials after exposure to ordered nanostructure from the new phase with a period of a few nanometers, promoting the preservation of the properties of materials under high irradiation.
‘Life-Changing Bubbles’ – How carbonated water can relieve swallowing problems for many dysphagia sufferers worldwide
Authors: John Mirams
Published: March 2023

Today, there are said to be some 590 million people of all ages around the world, who are suffering from a range of swallowing problems – probably about 4 million in the UK. Either living at home or as residents in some 20,000 Care Homes, with perhaps another 25,000 as patients in hospitals every day. Professor David Smithard, of the Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust, has been leading a national campaign for some years to raise general awareness of Dysphagia and to improve the treatment of patients with varying conditions. He and his team at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital have now completed a detailed Review of the use of carbonated water (CW) in the treatment of Dysphagia, which has just been published and can be accessed here: https://www.mdpi.com/2308-3417/8/1/6 The Review concludes that further evidence-based research is essential before CW can be adopted as standard in clinical practice – but that although the amount of evidence is small, there is a suggestion that swallows are safer and that secretion management improves, and consequently until further studies are undertaken, Carbonated Water should be limited to individual patient use. My experience as a Dysphagia sufferer is that the use of CW has resulted in life-changing benefits, and this paper is devoted to describing how CW worked for me, and what the practical requirements are, so that many others may be able to benefit as I have done. The paper has three sections: My Personal Experience, Practical Considerations, and Conclusions.

In the study we presented the complex analysis of theoretical and practical aspects of the print design as the innovative phenomenon in the design culture. We proved that the form and image transformation in the printed industry contributes to the activation of consumers’ attention and the increase of the informational message perception quality. We analyzed the pop-up phenomenon in the historical context and described the features of different paperfolding techniques that provide visual dynamics. On the base of the printing samples analysis we formed the classification of dynamical visual systems and considered the main methods of the image transformation in the terms of printing production. The results of the theoretical study were implemented in the series of the dynamical leaflets on social issues.

Information security has become a significant concern, and the protection of images transmitted over the Internet is vital, which requires a high level of security. The information in these images has been used without permission and, therefore, will have serious consequences, and the images can be secured in several ways. Data encryption and decryption have recently received much attention and development. Strong encryption and decryption is required, which is incredibly difficult to crack. In this paper, an encryption environment consisting of triple encryption methods was used to create a new encryption system, which depends on several stages, including the step involving the process of creating the key using the RSA algorithm and then using this generated key with the same RSA algorithm to encrypt the image, in the second stage using a method "zig_zag" in order to encrypt the image again based on the encrypted pictures generated from the first stage, in the third stage, encrypt the image generated from the second stage using the 2D CAT method. As for the setting of retrieval of the original photos using triple decryption methods in a reverse way, the idea was returned without losing its data. The image quality was excellent.
