The article presents a clinical case of congenital hypothyroidism. A child (girl) was born from a mother who was diag-nosed with hypothyroidism. The child is from dichorionic diamniotic twins. During intrauterine development, growth retardation of the second fetus was observed. The child was born by Caesarean section, with low body weight; the condition after birth was severe due to respiratory distress syndrome and prematurity. According to the result of neonatal screening, the level of thyroid-stimulating hormone was 305.75 µIU/ml, and ultrasound examination revealed thyroid gland agenesis. A diagnosis of hypothyroidism was made. A slight valvular stenosis of the pulmonary artery, an aneurysm of the interatrial septum with a defect, an incomplete vascularization of the retina of both eyes, and an inguinal hernia were revealed. The presence of dysembryogenesis stigma (hernia, aneurysm of the interatrial septum, low ears, macroglossia, moderate marbled cyanosis, flat-bridged nose, moderate hypotension) indicates the hereditary nature of the disorders. A theoretical analysis of possible candidate genes for the development of hypothyroidism was carried out. It was shown that the TSHR, NKX2-5, THRA, TSHB, TRHR, TBL1X, IRS4, PAX8, FOXE1, NKX2-1 genes are responsible for congenital hypothyroidism. It is noted that these genes are the regulators of the development and maturation of the thyroid gland or encode thyroid hormone receptors. Conclusion. For better understanding the etiopathogenetic mechanisms of the formation of congenital hypothyroid-ism, it is necessary to consider the possibility of confirmatory DNA diagnostics.

Authors:   Irkutsk State Medical University, Tkachuk Elena Anatolievna , Seminsky Igor Zhanovich ,   Irkutsk State Medical University
Published: April 2024

Background. Hereditary liver diseases are a serious problem in all age groups. Diagnosis of the hereditary liver disor-ders in many cases turns out to be difficult, and before final diagnosis, the patient can change more than one doctor and lose time, which can lead to a worsening of the disease. Therefore, the issue of timely diagnosis of hereditary liver diseases remains relevant. The lecture discusses the issues of diagnosing hereditary diseases occurring with liver damage. Both monogenic syndromes and multifactorial diseases are reviewed. Urea cycle disorders, aminoacidopathias and organic acidurias, lysosomal storage diseases, mitochondrial and peroxisomal diseases, disorders of fatty acids β-oxidation, carbohy-drate, lipid and cholesterol metabolism disorders and other diseases are described. The article describes the syndromes of liver disorders that occur in hereditary diseases; presents the combinations of individual syndromes having diagnostic significance. The pathogenetic aspects of the development of hepatic manifestations of hereditary diseases are considered. Conclusion. Symptoms of liver damage are often in the practice of any physician. Most of them are the manifesta-tions of somatic pathology. However, certain combinations of symptoms of liver damage (syndromes) indicate heredi-tary pathology. Therefore, it is extremely important to know the main liver syndromes in specific hereditary diseases, to understand the etiopathogenesis of such disorders and to carry out proper differential diagnosis.

Published: April 2024

The number of COVID-19 cases in Indonesia, with a total death toll of 143 445 people as of November 1, 2021, ranked second highest in Asia, disturbing many livelihoods, including the red brick industry. This study aims to analyze the extent to which environmental behavior manifests and assess the capacity and incentive driving forces that affect the environmental behavior of actors in the red brick industry during the COVID-19 pandemic. This research was conducted through questionnaires, data processing, and analysis of descriptive and inferential data using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The results showed that the environmental behavior of actors in the red brick industry was less good (12.12%), pretty good (69.69%), and good (18.18%). This study utilized the capacity and incentive variables as driving forces. The variables that contribute to capacity can be categorized as environmental knowledge, social capital, financial capital, natural capital, and physical capital. On the other hand, the incentive variables specifically encompass market signals and government incentives. Neither of the variables have been effective in motivating environmental behavior toward a better or optimal direction. Moreover, their concurrent influence on environmental behavior was weak (8.2%). The study of human behavior focuses on the causal chain. It is, therefore, multi-dimensional, meaning that control or influence of certain factors over behavior is relatively difficult to achieve. The optimal contribution of society toward environmental protection and control has not been realized.
Liver Transplantation: An Updated Criteria Selection for HCC
Authors: Hoang Duc Nam
Published: April 2024

In recent decades, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has appeared as main indication (40–60%) of liver transplantation (LT) — one of the most effective treatments for the disease. Inclusion criteria play a pivot role in order to improve the survival outcomes, as well as to minimize the recurrent rate after LT. Indications for LT in HCC, previously based on static staging (principally tumor burden), turned to a more active process with supplementary tumor biology in response to local-regional treatment. This enables patients beyond the widely-accepted Milan criteria (MC) to access LT without discouraging outcomes. Though considered too strict, MC remains the cornerstone of inclusion criteria, while many others which increasing extend beyond Milan have been applied. The LT inclusion criteria for HCC vary according to each institution, region, and country (whether it performs deceased-donor LT or living donor LT) and adapted over time. These criteria in fact were the truly predictive models for the risk of recurrent, and therefore the survival outcome post-LT. This chapter focuses on recent inclusion criteria and liver allocation policy for LT in HCC throughout the world.
Supporting Non-Clinical Staff through the Use of Clinical Supervision
Authors: Natchaba Nadjete
Published: April 2024

Clinical supervision is a commitment from supervisors to ensure the provision of quality services and nurture the professional growth of supervisees. Clinical supervision is made up of formative, normative, and restorative domains. While supervisors naturally focus on administrative and formative domains of clinical supervision, there needs to be a shift to focus more on clinical supervision’s restorative (self-related/self-care) domain. Given the workforce crisis, the unrest in the U.S., and post-pandemic residues, organizations must formalize clinical supervision to attend to their workforce. The study to assess the effectiveness of clinical supervision among non-licensed care coordinator, findings affirmed best clinical practices in the administrative and formative domains, while clinical supervision covering the restorative domain pointed to practices that were not deemed effective. Both care coordinators’ and supervisors’ views aligned on experiencing clinical supervision that did not prioritized discussions of “self” in supervision. Effective clinical supervision must equally focus on discussion in the three domains of clinical supervision, and supervisors must be equipped with the right tools to adopt the best clinical supervision practices. Crisis-based clinical supervision is one of the models supervisors can apply through the Just Practice framework to lean in more on the restorative domain of clinical supervision for non-licensed staff.

Authors: M. Goswami Rohan , Croome Kristopher , Bautista Jesus , Sharma Shriya
Published: April 2024

In recent years, remarkable advancements have been achieved in the field of liver transplantation, offering renewed hope and better outcomes for individuals with end-stage liver disease or acute liver failure who rely on orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) as their sole treatment option. Nevertheless, the scarcity of suitable donor organs continues to present a major hurdle for patients in need of liver transplants. Tragically, the demand for donor livers surpasses the limited supply, leaving numerous patients at risk of mortality while awaiting transplantation. In response to the persistent challenge of organ donation, scientists and medical experts are actively investigating the potential of extended criteria donors (ECDs) as a potential solution. ECDs encompass a wide range of potential donors, including older individuals and those with medical conditions or viral infections, who may not meet the conventional criteria for organ acceptance.
Pelvic Trauma
Authors: Güngör Erdal
Published: April 2024

Pelvic trauma (PT) occurs in 3% of skeletal injuries, presents significant challenges in trauma care. Among severe trauma patients admitted to primary care trauma centers, 10% exhibit pelvic fractures, often resulting from high-energy mechanisms. Pelvic fractures frequently result from high-energy mechanisms, are often associated with multisystem injuries, and can lead to catastrophic bleeding. There is a risk of serious morbidity and mortality in these injuries. According to trauma registries of many countries, unstable pelvic fractures are associated with mortality rates ranging from 8 to 32%. Their severity depends on associated nonpelvic injuries and/or hemorrhagic pelvic injuries. Prehospital and hospital management of severe pelvic trauma requires clear organizational and therapeutic strategies to control bleeding as quickly as possible. Mortality rates remain high, especially in patients with hemodynamic instability, due to rapid bleeding, difficulty in achieving hemostasis and related injuries. For these reasons, a multidisciplinary approach is important in the management of resuscitation, control of bleeding, and treatment of bone injuries, especially in the first hours of trauma. Multimodal treatment approach has become the gold standard in pelvic trauma. These include prehospital use of pelvic binders, appropriate imaging strategy, and appropriate use of surgical or interventional radiological control of bleeding.
Navigating the Shadows: Understanding and Managing Persistent Somatic Symptoms in Cancer Survivors
Authors: Bellman Val
Published: April 2024

The purpose of this chapter is to provide healthcare professionals, researchers and caregivers with insights on persistent somatic symptoms afflicting cancer survivors. These symptoms, including pain, fatigue, gastrointestinal distress, sexual dysfunction, respiratory issues, and cardiovascular, neurological and musculoskeletal complications often endure long after treatment completion, negatively impacting quality of life. Certain populations like childhood cancer survivors and those receiving intensive chemotherapy have higher somatic symptom burden. Possible mechanisms include accelerated aging, somatization tendencies, treatment side effects, mood disorders, and comorbidities. Assessing patient-reported outcomes and screening tools can facilitate early detection and management. Treatment strategies encompass pharmacological and nonpharmacological modalities targeting specific symptoms. Overall somatic symptom burden correlates with psychological distress and disability among survivors. Tailored, patient-centric rehabilitation programs over the cancer trajectory, from pretreatment through long-term survivorship, can mitigate symptoms. More research on persistent somatic complications is warranted to optimize evidence-based care for survivors’ multifaceted needs.

Authors: Y.F. Adam Abdelbagi , B.O. Osman Mohamed
Published: April 2024

In water-scarce arid region, integrated strategy for water resources management is critically needed to cope with water scarcity and the ever increasing demand and pressure on water resources induced by lessened rains, warming climate tendencies, population growth, and environmental sustainability considerations. In Sudan, despite the “relative” abundance of multi-sourced water quantities, yet the spatiotemporal variations adversely affect water availability and accessibility to the population majority in various arid and semiarid parts of country. Water deficit hampers achieving the socioeconomic development, especially in the concurrent climate change, large-scale transboundary river damming, conflicts over water resources, growing population, and economy contexts. Efficiently addressing of these issues and enhancing water resources management strategies are imperative necessities. Integrated water resources management (IWRM) approaches and GIS techniques can together improve decision-making and sustainable management strategies in these changing climatic and hydrological systems. IWRM as inclusive framework and participatory approach while GIS represents spatial analysis tool for water resource monitoring, vulnerability assessment, planning for addressing demands, and adaptation alongside accounting for population growth and climate change. This chapter discusses the state of water resources, efforts for efficient management, and prospects of enhancement in Sudan, to attain sustainability amidst the recently changing physical and anthropogenic environments.

Authors: Nguyen Van Trong , Ho Thi Thu
Published: April 2024

Platelet count disorders in patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) are intricate and involve complex mechanisms. This chapter aims to summarize knowledge on platelet count changes in the ECMO population. Thrombocytopenia occurs in about 21% during ECMO, declining over 2–3 days, persisting up to 7 days post-ECMO, with heparin-induced thrombocytopenia at 3.7%. Diagnosis relies on complete blood count with platelet count <150 G/L or rotational thromboelastometry (A5 EXTEM <35 mm and A5 FIBTEM ≥9 mm). Combination of thrombocytopenia and coagulation disorders may lead to bleeding (44.7%) or thrombosis (22.9%) in patients undergoing ECMO. Platelet testing every 6–12 hours is crucial, target in ECMO population for ≥100,000 × 10^9/L with bleeding and lower (≥50,000–100,000 × 109/L) without. Up to 50% of ECMO patients may require platelet transfusions, as per recent studies.

Authors: Can Mollaoğlu Murat
Published: April 2024

Tumors that have both neuroendocrine and exocrine components in the gastrointestinal system are rare. One of the rarest places in the gastrointestinal system is the colon. These tumors are called mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinomas (MANEC). To diagnose MANEC, the neuroendocrine and exocrine components that make up the lesion must be present at least 30%. A 70-year-old female patient with complaints of abdominal distension, malnutrition, nausea, and vomiting was admitted to our clinic from another center. The patient underwent blood tests, whole abdominal tomography, and colonoscopy. Right hemicolectomy and retroperitoneal lymph node dissection were performed with the preliminary diagnosis of colon cancer. Histopathological diagnosis was MANEC, and tumor stage was T3N1M0. Adjuvant chemotherapy was applied. Although MANEC is rare, it is a difficult and complex cancer to diagnose due to its nonspecific features. Diagnosis is made with histopathological and immunohistochemical evaluation along with clinical suspicion. Treatment is surgery and adjuvant therapy.
EXPLORING THE MULTIDIMENSIONAL HEALTH EFFECTS OF YOGASANA: A COMPREHENSIVE OVERVIEW
Authors: Rao Sobika , Pal Rameswar
Published: April 2024

The term “Yoga” is derived from the Sanskrit root “Yuj,” which translates to “to join,” “to yoke,” or “to unite.” Its global appeal stems from its evidence-based holistic approach. Today, a robust scientific consensus exists on the therapeutic benefits of Yoga, supported by a burgeoning body of research. Various Yogic practices, including asana (physical postures), pranayama (breath control), and dhyana (meditation), offer multifaceted health advantages. Yogasana, a cornerstone of Yoga, integrates physical postures with controlled breathing techniques to enhance physiological, psychological, and emotional well-being. As the third limb of Ashtanga Yoga, Yogasana yields diverse physiological effects, from cellular modulation to systemic improvements across the human body. Sukshma vyama, a subset of Yogasana, promotes localized blood circulation and facilitates articulation in synovial joints, thereby optimizing biomechanical alignment and mitigating muscular imbalances. Moreover, Yogasana induces slower, deeper breathing patterns, eliciting a predominant activation of the parasympathetic nervous system, which is crucial for stress management in modern society. Specific asanas stimulate digestive functions, facilitating the absorption and elimination of metabolic waste products, thereby fostering gastrointestinal health and optimizing the gut-brain axis. This chapter offers a comprehensive synthesis of scientific literature elucidating the physiological and psychological effects of Yogasana practice, providing an empirically grounded understanding of its therapeutic potential.

Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome and Hodgkin’s Lymphoma
Authors: Pivnik Alexander , Vukovich Arsen
Published: April 2024

Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) is defined as a clinically significant exacerbation of known low-symptomatic serious, more often infectious diseases, in conditions of a significant increase in the level of initially low levels of CD4+ T-lymphocytes in response to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) for HIV infection. Without prior etiotropic therapy for an opportunistic infection, its exacerbation with a pronounced clinical picture during HAART can be fatal for the patient. Lymphomas, including Hodgkin’s lymphoma (HL), are considered within the framework of this problem. Unlike other malignant lymphoid tumors that occur with low levels of CD4+ T-lymphocytes, HL develops with elevated levels of CD4+ lymphocytes in response to HAART in HIV-infected patients in the first months of starting antiretroviral treatment. HL was diagnosed in 8% of HIV-infected individuals without HAART. After the appointment of HAART, the frequency of HL increases to 17%. These data allow the problem of IRIS to be considered as the main one in the study of the etiology and pathogenesis of HL in HIV-infected patients.

Authors: Lakshmi Durga Mattaparthi , Pal Lalita , Wahid Aseeya
Published: April 2024

Even today, the generation of chemicals and energy is still reliant on fossil-based resources in industrialized countries. Biomass could be a valuable renewable energy source that could reduce dependence on fossil fuels as well as provide a significant reduction of carbon dioxide and greenhouse gas emissions. In this scenario, residue from natural oil extraction units is uplifted to produce biofuels as replacement of fossil fuels. In the process of bio-refinery, well established technologies were presented. Those are thermochemical treatment (pyrolysis, liquefaction, gasification, etc.), anaerobic digestion, catalysis, etc. Especially, importance is given to pyrolysis as it is the feasible technique to utilize residue and to produce wealthy products. The role of intrinsic bio-polymers in quantity of final pyrolytic products was discussed. Major process parameters were critically elucidated, however, the investigation of advanced pyrolysis technologies requires further research.
Effective Use of GCP in RPA Data Acquisition and Mapping
Authors: P. Hupy Joseph , Chandraskaran Aishwarya
Published: April 2024

Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPAs), commonly called drones, have established themselves as a valid remote sensing platform. These platforms, capable of flying on demand and in often otherwise inaccessible environments, have proven themselves to serve a niche data product where both high spatial and temporal scales are needed by the researcher. The use of RPAs as a research tool often comes the need to establish a high degree of horizontal and vertical locational precision outside of what conventional GNSS provides. Ground Control has been traditionally established with the use of ground surveyed Ground Control markers but is increasingly being established using Real Time Kinematic and Post-Processing Differential Correction methods. In forestry and natural resources science, being able to employ a reasonable degree of precision and accuracy is essential in the utilization of RPA as a data collection tool, yet past and present research trends show that no one method is superior to another and that different applications call for different forms of correction when factors such as cost, time, and efficiency are applied. This chapter explores the use of ground control in RPA data acquisition.

Authors: Tezer Murat
Published: April 2024

Metacognitive skills help students develop skills such as problem-solving, critical thinking, leadership, and responsibility. This chapter aims to examine the concepts of cognition, metacognition, metacognitive strategy, and metacognitive skill within a theoretical framework and to reveal the place of these concepts in education. In the research literature review method was used. In the light of the results obtained based on the research findings, it was determined that metacognitive strategies help students improve their cognitive skills during the learning process and are related to academic success. This research reveals the need to emphasize the importance and place of metacognitive skills in education, to teach students strategies, and to guide them when and where to use them. Additionally, students need to gain appropriate experiences and practice to develop their metacognitive skills. Metacognitive development begins at an early age and continues throughout the teaching process; therefore, it is very essential to carry out activities that support metacognition, especially at preschool and primary school levels. The general conclusion is that developing metacognitive skills increases students’ cognitive competencies and makes them responsible for their learning, which in turn enables students to become more independent learners and increases their overall academic success.

Analytická párová psychoterapie – teoretická východiska a praxe
Authors: Bucková Jolana
Published: April 2024

Analytická párová psychoterapie vychází teoreticky z konceptů stínu, komplexů a archetypových polarit jakou součástí individuačního vývoje. V praktické práci s párem využívá imaginativní a projektivní techniky. Při párovém sezení je možné analyzovat sny, imaginovat, pracovat v pískovišti nebo s obrazovým materiálem. Lze použít originální kresebné projektivní techniky, například „Snový strom“ a „Strom-dům-oheň-voda-postava“, obdobně lze v terapii využít karty DIXIT. Terapeut nechá partnery vzájemně interpretovat své obrazy. Snadno tak může oslovit témata nebo kvality, které jsou společné, ve kterých se partneři polárně doplňují a která jsou zdrojem konfliktu. Obrazy vznikají během sezení a nejsou tak zatíženy minulými párovými konflikty. Rozhovor nad kresbami je možné udržet v duchu vzájemného porozumění. Zprostředkujeme tak klientům náhled na vlastní i partnerovu jedinečnost a jinakost, což je podmínkou pro její přijetí a hledání konstruktivních cest při dalším budování vztahu nebo k dobrému ukončení vztahu neperspektivního.

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF LEONARDO AI, MIDJOURNEY, AND DALL-E: AI'S PERSPECTIVE ON FUTURE CITIES
Authors:   Dokuz Eylul University, Izmir, Türkiye, YILDIRIM ERDEM
Published: April 2024

This paper aims to deepen our understanding of the intricate role that Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays in the ever- changing landscape of urban design and planning, building on a seminal study conducted a year ago that utilized the Stable Diffusion 1.5 algorithm to investigate "AI's Vision of Future Cities". This Study, version 2.0, provides a comprehensive comparison and evaluation of three cutting-edge AI text-to-image generation algorithms: LeonardoAI, Midjourney and Dall-E with the same technique of the previous study. Using curated series of prompts that integrate a variety of crucial urban design themes, such as smart cities, sustainability, eco-design, biomimicry, and topology optimization, the study provides a nuanced evaluation of the unique capabilities, strengths, and limitations inherent in each of these advanced AI tools. In the findings, although LeonardoAI is proficient at providing a balanced thematic representation, it tends to produce less realistic images. Midjourney v5.2 is distinguished by its ability to generate visually striking yet exaggerated depictions of urban elements with variety. Dall-E 3 is the most usable and practical tool for generating clear and coherent urban elements, despite its logical limitations. The study concludes by emphasizing the context-dependence of the effective and meaningful application of AI tools in the multifaceted and complex domain of urban design. In addition, it argues that these AI tools are most effective when used in conjunction with conventional design and planning techniques. This research not only extends and elaborates on the previous study s findings, but it also explicit the visuality in rapid change of the AI image synthesis for the groundwork of future research avenues.

Caring for a sick relative is not without challenges. Family members who leave their homes to care for a sick relative in an unfamiliar hospital environment encounter more challenges than those who provide care in their familiar home environment. This hospital ethnography was carried out in one of the secondary hospitals in Ghana. Thirty-two caregivers were sampled using the purposive sampling technique. Data was collected through the semi structured interview guide. Using the qualitative exploratory case study, the study revealed that the challenges facing family caregivers are multidimensional. These challenges are classified into three major groups: institutional, environmental, and financial. In response to these challenges, caregivers developed different strategies such as denying themselves some pleasures of life, developing faith in God through prayers and giving the identification card given them by the hospital authority to other relatives who are not recognised by the health professionals as caregivers.

A crítica woolfiana se debruça sobre as menções ao bardo para comprovar quanto a sua obra foi determinante na formação da escritora em uma infindável ausência-presença. Woolf estabeleceu o diálogo com Shakespeare a fim de atualizar e moldar o seu próprio projeto literário. O objetivo deste artigo é analisar os efeitos dessa presença em Orlando, uma das mais famosas biografias ficcionais modernistas. No romance, Shakespeare está envolto em mistério, como um fantasma invisível, um personagem do qual não se fala, ele é apenas pressentido.
