Published: January 2025

Background: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a surgical intervention to alleviate pain, restore joint function, and improve quality of life for patients with hip joint degeneration, often caused by osteoarthritis (OA). A common complication after THA is limb length discrepancy (LLD), which affects biomechanics and gait, leading to potential discomfort and reduced functional ability. Mild limb lengthening (MLL), a subtype of LLD, can significantly impact stride length, stance width, and overall recovery. Evaluating these parameters provides insight into the biomechanical effects of LLD and informs rehabilitation strategies aimed at optimizing post-operative outcomes.
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study assessed 40 patients who underwent THA at RSUP Prof. IGNG Ngoerah between November 2023 and May 2024. Patients were divided into two groups: those with MLL (≤2 cm) and those without LLD. Inclusion criteria included primary THA, three-month follow-up, and consent for participation. Patients with severe complications, such as polyethylene wear or muscle atrophy, were excluded. Gait parameters, including stride length and stance width, were measured, and functional outcomes were evaluated using the Modified Harris Hip Score (MHHS). Statistical analyses were conducted using SPSS version 26.0. The Shapiro-Wilk test assessed normality, while independent T-tests and Mann-Whitney U tests compared normally and non-normally distributed data, respectively.
Results: Significant differences were observed in stride length (p = 0.022) and stance width (p = 0.033) between patients with and without MLL. MHHS scores were lower in the MLL group (p = 0.033), indicating reduced functional recovery. However, no significant difference was found in the stride length of the non-THA limb (p = 0.482). These findings highlight the impact of MLL on gait and overall recovery.
Conclusion: Mild limb lengthening after THA significantly affects gait parameters and functional outcomes, as reflected in reduced stride length, altered stance width, and lower MHHS scores. Early identification and targeted rehabilitation strategies are critical for optimizing recovery. Future studies with larger cohorts and extended follow-up are recommended to explore long-term effects and refine intervention approaches.

Published: January 2025

Background: Bone metastasis is a disease that occurs when cancer cells began to spread from their original site to bone tissue. These cancer cells are able to reach bones due to osteomimicry, the ability to express genetic profiles that resemble the target location of metastasis.The most common primary cancers that cause bone metastases included lung cancer, breast cancer, and prostate cancer. Based on previous research, some factors that may influenced the likelihood of bone metastasis are such as: LDH, calcium, and CRP levels.
Method: The purpose of this study is to give an overview of the distribution of LDH levels, calcium levels and CRP levels in bone metastasis due to primary cancer: breast, lung, thyroid, prostate, and liver cancer at Prof. Dr. I.G.N.G Ngoerah General Hospital in January-March 2024. This study used a quantitative descriptive epidemiological study with a cross-sectional design. The study's dependent variable was bone metastasis, while the independent variable were primary cancer of: breast, lung, thyroid, prostate, and liver cancer, LDH level, calcium level, and CRP level. A total of 53 medical records were taken out of 186 patients with bone metastasis. The research lasted for 3 months, starting in January 2024 and ending in March 2024.
Results: This research found an abnormality in LDH and CRP levels on bone metastasis due to breast cancer; abnormality in LDH, calcium, and CRP levels on bone metastasis due to lung cancer abnormality in CRP levels on bone metastasis due to thyroid cancer; abnormality in LDH levels on bone metastasis due to prostate cancer; and abnormality in LDH and calcium levels on bone metastasis due to liver cancer.
Conclusion: In this study, it can be concluded that there are mostly abnormalities in LDH and CRP, but mostly normal calcium levels in patients with bone metastasis due to primary cancer: breast, lung, thyroid, prostate, and liver cancer at Prof. Dr. I.G.N.G Ngoerah General Hospital in January-March 2024.

Authors: H. A. Afang, , M. I. Bello, , S. Sabo,
Published: January 2025

Job creation has been widely acknowledged as a means of achieving economic sustainable development through the reduction of the level of social vices and generation of entrepreneurial mindset. However, the contribution of the informal sector has been little or even insignificant and thus implies a decline in entrepreneurial spirit, which is believed to hamper venture creation. This study adopted the descriptive survey approach and 489 respondents were sampled using the proportionate stratified sampling technique from the population of 15,558 small businesses across the twenty-three local government areas in Kaduna State. Entrepreneurship Event Model framework was adopted to underpin the study. The findings indicated a positive relationship between entrepreneurial spirit and job creation and the results further revealed that informal sector contribution does not significantly moderate the relationship between entrepreneurial spirit and job creation. The study recommended that policymakers should provide a conducive entrepreneurial ecosystem that will foster the development of entrepreneurial spirit, as it is capable of improving job creation which fosters economic development.

Published: January 2025

Идеальной системой для доставки молочнокислых и пробиотических бактерий в организм человека является кисломолочная продукция, обладающая, кроме того, высокой пищевой ценностью и пользующаяся стабильно высоким спросом у потребителей. Для производства большинства кисломолочных продуктов используются закваски, состоящие в основном из молочнокислых бактерий. Качество заквасок оказывает существенное влияние на качество самих молочных продуктов. При производстве заквасок необходимо обеспечивать их длительное хранение при условии сохранения жизнеспособности бактериальных клеток. Для этого используются методы, направленные на снижение или остановку метаболизма молочнокислых бактерий. К таким методам относятся замораживание, криоконсервация и сублимационное высушивание. Сохранение коллекционных культур микроорганизмов в течение длительного времени в жизнеспособном состоянии без изменения их биохимических, физиологических и производственно-ценных свойств является важнейшей задачей прикладной микробиологии.Поддержание штаммов в рабочем состоянии – необходимое условие любой работы с микроорганизмами. В обзоре приведены литературные данные о применяемых методах хранения культур микроорганизмов, их преимуществах и недостатках при работе с коллекционными фондами. В целях дальнейшего совершенствования методов хранения идет поиск новых подходов к переводу клеток в состояние покоя и подбор оптимальных защитных компонентов, а также применение при закладке культур на хранение комбинированных методов. На сегодняшний день криоконсервация и лиофилизация признаны надежными методами долгосрочного хранения для поддержания коллекционного фонда разных групп микроорганизмов. Однако, наиболее распространенным методом в работе коллекций является высушивание бактерий из замороженного состояния – лиофилизация.

Topic Identification behind Political Discourse: What was said and what was meant?
Authors: HADJ DJELLOUL Khadidja , BENZAYED M’hamed
Published: January 2025

When two speakers utter the same speech, using the same words; the meaning they convey to their audience can be completely different. In fact, speakers use words or terms to express ideas, but they do not always dictate their meaning or identify the topic of their speech. This generally occurs when political leaders use powerful words so as to be convincing and persuasive through their discourse. Thus, the aim of the study is to unveil the topics behind the speech of the Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak during the Arab Spring Uprising in 2011 and the British candidate speech for the Prime Minister campaign held by Andrea Leadsom on July 4, 2016. Despite the clear diversion of key terms in each speech; there was a clear difference, between what was said and what was meant for, in both.

Published: January 2025

This study was carried out by collecting tank milk samples every month, from a total of 240 farms producing cold chain milk for one year. Somatic cell count (SCC), total bacterial count (TBC), some nutritional elements (lactose, protein, casein, fat) and some physicochemical parameters (dry matter, fat–free dry matter, freezing point, density, free fatty acids, Soxhlet Henkel acidity degree) and citric acid were analyzed. According to the results; TBC were at the highest level in March (M), April (A) and June (J) (835.07 x103; 940.25 × 103 and 1007.30 × 103 cfu·mL–1), whereas between July (Ju) and December (De), TBC (446.09 × 103 and 795.15 × 103 cfu·mL–1) were significantly lower (P<0.001). The highest SCC were found in M, A and May (Ma), whereas the lowest SCC were found between September (S) and De. Between S and De, when SCC decreased, (varied between 236.13 × 103 cells·mL–1 and 284.43 × 103 cells·mL–1; P<0.05). Lactose values were found to be significantly higher in spring and summer compared to other months. A significant decrease was determined in protein values in the summer months compared to November (N) and De (P<0.05; P<0.01). It was also revealed that casein values were higher in the summer months Ma–August (Au) compared to the other lower months (P<0.01). For physico–chemical parameters, it was determined that non–fat solids and freezing point (FP) values decreased significantly during the summer months (P<0.01; P<0.001). The results obtained show that the parameters in question are seasonally affected, but these parameters change depending on the changes in both TBC and SCC values (high level of positive or negative correlation).

Published: January 2025

Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation (PAR) is a reversible post-translational protein modification catalyzed by enzyme  members of the poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs) family. PAR is receiving growing attention due to its involvement in various biological processes. Despite many studies on humans, very little data on PAR in livestock are reported in the literature. Since its involvement in the blastocyst implantation has been hypothesized and considered the importance of markers for predicting pregnancy success, with this study, we wanted to evaluate dynamic changes in PAR levels during peri-implantation and early pregnancy in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in buffalo species. Blood samples from 12 buffalo cows were collected on days 14, 19, and 28 after artificial insemination (AI), and PBMCs were isolated. Buffalo cows were divided ex post into pregnant (n=7) and non-pregnant (n=5) groups on Pregnancy-associated glycoproteins (PAGs) plasma concentrations and transrectal ultrasonography. The concentration of PAR levels (pg/mL) was determined in PBMC cellular extracts using the HT PARP in vivo Pharmacodynamic Assay II (Trevigen). The repeated measures ANOVA tested differences in mean values across time points and between experimental groups. This is the first study that evaluates PAR levels in bubaline PBMC during peri-implantation and early pregnancy. Results showed a different trend between the two groups. On day 14 after AI, the pregnant animals showed an increase of PAR compared to the non-pregnant group (23.12 ±18.96 vs 15.30 ±12.11 pg/mL, respectively), although the difference was insignificant. Interestingly, in the subsequent sampling period, the pregnant animals showed a constant decrease of PAR levels (19.64 ±8.81 and 3.49 ±4.71 pg/mL on days 19 and 28 after AI; p=0.019), reaching significantly lower levels compared to non-pregnant animals on day 28 after AI (3.49 ±4.71 vs. 18.75±5.76 pg/mL, respectively; p=0.001). The non-pregnant group showed a fluctuating trend of PAR (15.30 ±12.11, 29.09±17.30, and 18.75±5.76, on days 14, 19 and 28, respectively). In conclusion, although it can be considered an exploratory and preliminary study, results provide new evidence that PAR could be involved in mediating pregnancy success in dairy buffalo. However, further studies are needed to clarify the role of PAR modification during the establishment and maintenance of pregnancy in livestock.

Published: January 2025

This editorial comments on the review by Da Silva et al , published in the World Journal of Clinical Oncology which focuses on the molecular perspectives of lung cancer. With the rapid development of molecular technology, new diagnostic methods are constantly emerging, including liquid biopsy, the identification of gene mutations, and the monitoring biomarkers, thus providing precise information with which to identify the occurrence and development of lung cancer. Biomarkers, such as circulating tumor cells, circulating tumor DNA, and circulating RNA can provide helpful information for clinical application. Common types of genetic mutations and immune checkpoints include epidermal growth factor receptor, anaplastic lymphoma kinase, c-ROS proto-oncogene 1, programmed death-1 and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein. According to specific biomarkers, targeted therapy and immunotherapy can improve survival outcomes based on the types of gene mutation and immune checkpoints. The application of molecular approaches can facilitate our ability to control the progression of disease and select appropriate therapeutic strategies for patients with lung cancer.
Primary hepatic neuroendocrine tumor with a suspicious pulmonary nodule: A case report and literature review
Authors: Lv Hai-Yan , Liu Mei-Xuan , Hong Wen-Ting , Li Xia-Wei
Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND

Primary hepatic neuroendocrine tumors (PHNETs) are extremely rare tumors originating from neuroendocrine cells. Due to lack of neuroendocrine symptoms and specific radiographic characteristics, PHNETs are challenging to differentiate from other liver tumors.

CASE SUMMARY

This case involved a 67-year-old male who was admitted with a discovered hepatic mass and a suspicious lung lesion. Primary hepatic carcinoma was initially speculated based on the characteristic magnetic resonance imaging findings. The patient underwent a laparoscopic right partial hepatectomy, and subsequent immunohistochemical examination revealed a HNET. To exclude other potential origins, a positron emission tomography-computed tomography scan and gastrointestinal endoscopy were performed, leading to a final diagnosis of PHNETs. Then we conducted a literature review using the PubMed database, identifying 99 articles and 317 cases related to PHNETs. The characteristics, diagnostic methods, and treatment of PHNETs have been described. Finally, we elaborate on the presumed origins, pathological grades, clinical features, diagnosed methods, and treatments associated with PHNETs.

CONCLUSION

The diagnosis of PHNETs was primarily an exclusionary process. A definitive diagnosis of PHNETs relied mainly on immunohistochemical markers (chromogranin A, synaptophysin, and cluster of differentiation 56) and exclusion of primary foci in other organs. Radical surgery was the preferred treatment for early-stage tumors.

Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is a common malignancy in China, often diagnosed at an advanced stage, with poor prognosis. Standard treatments such as definitive chemoradiotherapy offer limited survival benefits. Recent advances in immune checkpoint inhibitors combined with chemotherapy have shown promise, but their effectiveness and safety in conjunction with radiotherapy for unresectable ESCC require further exploration.

AIM

To assess the safety and effectiveness of induction chemoimmunotherapy followed by definitive radiotherapy or concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) in locally advanced unresectable ESCC.

METHODS

This retrospective study included 80 patients with locally advanced unresectable ESCC who underwent induction chemoimmunotherapy followed by definitive radiotherapy, recruited from Zhejiang Cancer Hospital. All patients received 2-4 cycles of chemotherapy plus programmed cell death 1/programmed cell death ligand 1 inhibitor, were re-evaluated to be inoperable, then received definitive radiotherapy or CCRT. Primary endpoint was treatment safety and tolerance. SPSS 26.0 software was used for data analysis. Th Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis.

RESULTS

Thirty-seven (46.3%) patients received CCRT and 43 (53.7%) received radiotherapy alone. The most common treatment-related adverse events included radiation esophagitis (32/80, 40.0%) and anemia (49/80, 61.3%), with 22 (27.5%) experiencing grade ≥ 3 adverse events. No treatment-related deaths occurred. After median follow-up of 16.5 months, the median progression-free survival (PFS) was 14.2 months, and median overall survival (OS) was 19.9 months. The 1-year and 2-year PFS and OS were 55.8% and 31.6%, and 67.5% and 44.1%, respectively. Patients with partial response had better outcomes than those with stable disease: 1-year PFS 69.4% vs 43.9% (P = 0.011) and OS 83.2% vs 48.8% (P = 0.007). Induction therapy effectiveness and immunotherapy maintenance were independent prognostic factors for OS.

CONCLUSION

Chemotherapy combined with programmed cell death 1/programmed cell death ligand 1 inhibitor followed by definitive radiotherapy or CCRT in patients with locally advanced ESCC was safe and effective.
Transmembrane channel-like 5 drives hepatocellular carcinoma progression by regulating epithelial-mesenchymal transition
Authors: Li Jiao , Wang Zi-Yu , Jin Yan , Xu Jing , Ya Yun-Jin , Wan Ting-Qiu , Li Xi , Wang Xi
Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a difficult cancer to manage due to its highly invasive and metastatic nature.

AIM

To investigate the molecular function of transmembrane channel-like 5 (TMC5) in vitro and in vivo , with the objective of identifying novel diagnosis and treatment targets for HCC.

METHODS

The expression of TMC in cancer and normal tissues, along with its correlation with HCC prognosis, was analyzed using the GENT2, GEPIA database, and Human Protein Atlas. COX analysis was conducted to assess the relationship between TMC5 expression and overall survival in TCGA-LIHC patients. Further experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of TMC5 in cancer progression through loss- and gain-of-function assays in vitro and in vivo .

RESULTS

Bioinformatics revealed that TMC5 expression was generally higher in tumors than in normal tissues, and its expression was associated with poorer patient survival outcomes. TMC5 expression in HCC tissues and cells was consistent with the results of the bioinformatics analysis. Suppression of TMC5 expression reduced migration, invasion, and proliferation, while also decreasing the expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-associated molecules in MHCC97-LM3 cells. Conversely, higher TMC5 expression significantly increased cell migration, invasion, proliferation, and EMT in MHCC97 L cells. TMC5 knockdown significantly decreased both the formation and spread of nodules in liver tissue, whereas TMC5 overexpression promoted them.

CONCLUSION

Our study provides compelling evidence that TMC5 is highly expressed in HCC and drives cancer progression through the activation of EMT-mediated invasion. TMC5 could represent a valuable molecular target for the diagnosis and treatment of HCC.

The article presents the results of a 5-year study (2020–2024) of the state, limits of availability and productivity of the forage base for populations of key species of ungulates, as well as the determination of their optimal abundance (OA) in all five forestry districts of Ukraine. The options for minimum and maximum values of the food base of wild herbivores were fully surveyed and analysed. The following wild game species were subject to a more comprehensive survey: European elk, red deer, European roe deer, and wild boar. Alien species such as sika deer, mouflon, and fallow deer were surveyed to a more limited extent. The limits (OA-min and OA-max) of the acceptable total ungulate abundance depending on the productivity of hunting grounds were determined. Calculations of the allowable population density and the optimal abundance of ungulates depending on the quality score of the grounds were made: from the least suitable to the best. The calculation of the OA for the main species of ungulates in the hunting grounds of the five natural zones gave the following results: 1) in the Polissia zone, OA-min 65.7k thousand ind., average 564.9 thousand ind., actual OA-fact 112.1 thousand ind, OA-fact 42.4 thousand ind.; 2) in the Forest-Steppe zone, OA-min 81.3 thousand ind., OA-max 162.2 thousand ind., OA-fact 42.4 thousand ind.; 3) in the Steppe zone, OA-min (quality score 4.0) 122.9 thousand ind., OA-max (quality score 1.5) 193.5 thousand ind.; OA-fact 34.9 thousand ind.; 4) in the Carpathian zone OA-min (quality score 4.0) 55.5 thousand ind, OA-max (quality score 1.5) 142.3 thousand ind., OA-fact 50.5 thousand ind.; 5) in the Crimean zone, OA-min (quality score 4.0) 45.6 thousand ind. and OA-opt (quality score 1.5) 138.8 thousand ind., OA-fact 7.3 thousand ind. The actual OA increases in the order of Crimea (7.3) → Steppe (34.9) → Forest-Steppe (42.4) → Carpathians (50.5) → Polissia (112.1 thousand individuals), i.e. it changes, albeit gradually, by more than 15 times when moving from southern to northern zones. Within each zone, transitions from a quality score of 4.0 to 1.5 give an increase in OA by 3.5–4.0 times. The possibilities of a significant increase in the optimal number of ungulates in the lands of each of the considered natural zones (forestry and hunting districts) are shown, but only if fundamental changes in the principles of hunting management are provided.

Authors: Koushik G , Muthukumar P K
Published: January 2025

One of the vulnerable communities often subjected to marginalization and exclusion, the transgender community, often experiences various socio-economic challenges, that significantly impact the quality of life. This study examines the challenges faced by transgender individuals in rural Tamil Nadu, particularly in Chidambaram, a rural town in Tamil Nadu, and how these challenges affect their overall well-being. A total of 42 transgender people were identified through the snowball sampling method for collecting data using structured interviews. Statistical analyses, such as ANOVA, mean, and standard deviation, were performed using the SPSS software. The results of the study points out an extensive involvement in insecure occupations such as commercial sex work, beggary, and as informal labor among transgender individuals in Chidambaram. The study findings indicate that the transgender community in Chidambaram lacks adequate access to employment opportunities, which hinders their ability to earn a satisfactory income and improve their quality of life. The findings suggest that the transgender community in Chidambaram lacks access to employment opportunities that would enable them to earn a sufficient income for an improved quality of life. As a result, increased economic hardships directly hinder the overall standard of living. This study highlights the urgent requirement for specific interventions and policy measures aimed at reducing socio-economic inequalities and improving the well-being of transgender communities in rural areas of Tamil Nadu.

The relationships between gender, performativity, and monstrosity are explored in this paper based on the theories of Judith Butler and Paul B. Preciado, in conjunction with the concept of “corpo-inço”. The objective is to investigate how the concept of monstrosity, used by Preciado to critique naturalized gender normativities, relates to corpo-inço, a metaphor developed by Audrian Vinicius Cassanelli Griss to represent bodies that, like weed, resist and survive in hostile environments. The methodology involves a critical analysis of the works, highlighting the theoretical convergences between Butler's and Preciado's proposals applied to a paradigmatic case. Additionally, the reflections are expanded with contributions from Marcia Tiburi and Monique Wittig, which help deepen specific aspects of the discussion. The authors argue that sex and gender are social and historical constructs, which means we can reconsider and resignify our conceptions. Thus, the aim is to understand how these theoretical tools can help unveil gender norms. The findings indicate that the concept of corpo-inço favors an understanding that embraces different forms of existence marked by an intrinsic force of resistance, given its characteristic of existing in challenging contexts.

Our purpose is to outline guidelines for the psychoanalytic clinic from a decolonial perspective. To do this, we work theoretically with the logic of predication and the unconscious defense of the crypt. We use the three predicative declensions “I am”, “you are”, “he is”, highlighting the fateful and deadly function of the latter. And we take the crypt as a sign of corruption based on Pierce's semiotics. We use elements of Brazilian culture and an intervention carried out in an urban quilombo to highlight how these conceptual elements become key reading and interpretation for the psychoanalytic clinic. We return to decolonial authors and conclude by discussing six clinical principles: excavating a memory for the future, fissuring the current ideological discourse; name the enjoyment or construct a discourse about oneself; operate with the remains of language, opening cracks in the meaning arbitrated by the Other; thus, cracking the defense structured by the crypt; and, finally, recompose history and assume your own place of responsibility in it.

A esquizofrenia é um transtorno mental crônico e grave, caracterizado por períodos de agudização conhecidos como "surtos" e classificada como uma das principais síndromes psicóticas. Sua concepção evoluiu desde o conceito de "démence précoce" de Benedict Morel até a definição moderna proposta por Emil Kraepelin e Eugen Bleuler. O diagnóstico é clínico, com base no DSM-5 ou CID-10, e não há marcadores biológicos definitivos. A etiopatogenia da esquizofrenia envolve fatores neuroquímicos, genéticos e ambientais, como as teorias dopaminérgica e glutamatérgica. A prevalência global é de aproximadamente 1%, com maior incidência no sexo masculino e início entre 15 e 25 anos. Fatores de risco incluem histórico familiar, complicações pré-natais e estressores na infância, e comorbidades frequentes como transtornos obsessivo-compulsivos, transtornos do humor e uso de substâncias. O tratamento é baseado em antipsicóticos, com clozapina indicada para casos refratários, e terapias psicossociais, incluindo reabilitação. A internação é necessária em casos de risco elevado, e abordagens como ECT e estimulação magnética são utilizadas em casos resistentes ao tratamento. A evolução nos modelos diagnósticos e terapêuticos tem sido significativa, mas a falta de biomarcadores definitivos e a complexidade dos fatores envolvidos ainda representam desafios. Este estudo revisa a literatura recente sobre a esquizofrenia, destacando avanços nas abordagens diagnósticas, como neuroimagem, e tratamentos, e sugere áreas para futuras investigações, com o objetivo de melhorar o prognóstico e a reintegração social dos pacientes.

O Diabetes Mellitus (DM) é uma das principais causas de complicações graves, como amputações não traumáticas, afetando milhões de pessoas globalmente. A hiperglicemia crônica contribui para neuropatia, doença arterial periférica e infecções, que frequentemente evoluem para úlceras, gangrena e amputações. Diante da elevada incidência dessas amputações, muitas das quais poderiam ser prevenidas, este estudo visa caracterizar o perfil clínico-epidemiológico de pacientes diabéticos submetidos a amputações. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa, realizada a partir da base de dados PubMed e LILACS, utilizando-se como descritores “Amputation”, “Diabetes mellitus”, “Diabetic Foot” e “Epidemiology”. Durante a busca, obteve-se 474 artigos, sendo que, após a exclusão dos trabalhos que fugiam do escopo desta pesquisa, foram selecionadas 15 publicações. Constatou-se que o perfil de pacientes mais propensos a amputações é composto por indivíduos idosos, do sexo masculino, com baixa renda e escolaridade, com doença arterial periférica, tabagistas e úlceras anteriores. Dessa forma, os resultados expõem que fatores metabólicos, socioeconômicos e comportamentais influenciam significativamente as amputações em pacientes diabéticos. Assim, a caracterização dos fatores associados é crucial, pois permite subsidiar políticas públicas mais eficazes e direcionadas. Campanhas educativas e estratégias preventivas, como monitoramento precoce, capacitação de profissionais da saúde e promoção do autocuidado, foram destacadas como fundamentais para reduzir as taxas de amputações. Os achados ressaltam a importância de intervenções integradas que abordem não apenas os aspectos clínicos, mas também as condições socioeconômicas e comportamentais que contribuem para o desfecho clínico.

Este estudo objetiva identificar a percepção de docentes de enfermagem acerca do processo avaliativo no ensino superior a partir do discurso do sujeito coletivo. Empregou-se como estratégia metodológica em pesquisa qualitativa a construção do Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo, sendo uma amostra constituída de 10 participantes. A coleta de dados ocorreu no período de outubro a dezembro de 2023, em datas e horários marcados previamente com o participante. As entrevistas foram realizadas pela pesquisadora, mediante um roteiro semiestruturado contendo perguntas específicas. O gerenciamento e análise dos dados foi realizado no software Qualiquantisoft. Dos depoimentos coletados emergiram três Ideias Centrais: Entendimento sobre avaliação, Conhecimento sobre os tipos de avaliação e Forma de avaliação versus adequação aos objetivos propostos pela disciplina e plano de curso, em três discursos. Os resultados evidenciam que a atuação dos docentes nos cursos de saúde busca romper com velhos paradigmas da educação, pois percebe-se que estes contemplam mais a abordagem qualitativa de avaliação, especialmente nas avaliações práticas. Acredita-se que este seja um enorme desafio, tendo em vista as diretrizes curriculares e metodologias das instituições representarem, muitas vezes, caminhos contrários a um processo avaliativo mais democrático e pautado exclusivamente na formação futura de profissionais mais conscientes, autônomos, críticos e solidários.

A violência doméstica contra a mulher é uma realidade de muitas brasileiras que mesmo vivendo em um contexto no qual a mulher tem notoriedade e independência, uma grande maioria ainda convive com esse tipo de agressão dentro de suas casas. Tendo em vista esse panorama, o presente artigo foi elaborado a partir de uma pesquisa bibliográfica e de campo que teve como instrumentos de pesquisa um questionário aplicado a uma assistente social que desenvolve sua prática no CREAS de Matões - MA. O Objetivo geral do mesmo foi: Analisar as principais causas e consequências da violência doméstica contra mulheres no município de Matões - MA. O suporte teórico foi baseado nas concepções de Pinho, (2009); Masson (2015); Brasil (1988, 2006, 2015), além de outros autores. Como resultados alcançados, percebemos que a violência doméstica contra a mulher no município pesquisado tem se perpetuado devido ao pouco conhecimento das vítimas sobre os seus direitos. Além disso, a dependência emocional e financeira faz com que as mesmas permaneçam sofrendo violência dentro de seus lares. Portanto, conclui-se que para haver uma melhora nesse quadro se faz necessário a articulação de ações que visem informar e conscientizar as famílias sobre as leis que asseguram a integridade física e emocional da mulher. Dentre essas ações menciona-se palestras e cartazes informativos sobre os direitos alcançados pelas mulheres com Lei Maria da Penha.
Nella zecca di Sassari. Mezzo minuto inedito per Carlo V
Authors: Mandatori Gianluca , Piga Marco
Published: January 2025

La produzione monetaria di Carlo d'Asburgo nell'isola di Sardegna non fu unitaria; da un lato la zecca di Cagliari svolse il ruolo di zecca centrale, mentre dall'altro Alghero e Sassari assecondarono maggiormente le dinamiche delle comunità locali. L'articolo, dopo aver presentato tutte le monete battute dal Sovrano nell'isola, esamina un inedito "mezzo minuto", emesso dalla zecca di Sassari per rispondere alle esigenze del piccolo commercio, analogamente al caso di Alghero.
The Money Changer and the Mint: Vielmo Condulmer and the Zecca di Venezia
Authors: Stahl Alan
Published: January 2025

Nine paper account books in the Venetian archives from the estate records of the money changer Vielmo Condulmer document his bullion transactions with the Venetian mint from 1389 to 1413. From these books it is possible to trace the processing of a consignment of 58.4 kilograms of silver bullion of about 77.5% fineness from a German merchant on March 4, 1405; through his deposit of the bullion in the refinery two days later; and then his deposit in the mint on March 18 of the same silver refined to the requisite 92.5% fineness; and his final sale of the ingots from this silver to a wealthy Venetian merchant.
Su due Histamena di Basilio II e Costantino VIII conservati presso il Museo Archeologico “D. Ridola di Matera
Authors: Gargiulo Brunella
Published: January 2025

Il contributo affronta la presenza della monetazione aurea sotto Basilio II, durante il cui regno si assiste alla rarefazione dei nominali in valuta preziosa. L'argomento viene ripreso sulla base di due ulteriori rinvenimenti che provengono dal territorio materano, oggi conservati presso il Museo Archeologico “D. Ridola” di Matera. I due histamena aurei aggiungono consistenza al legame consolidato che la città di Matera ebbe con l'impero bizantino ancora nella prima metà del XII secolo.
The twice-found ongaro of Maccagno Inferiore and the Zagórze Śląskie hoard (tpq 1632)
Authors: Paszkiewicz Boris
Published: January 2025

In 1820, a hoard was found near an old manor house at Zagórze Śląskie (then Prussia, now Poland). The hoard was briefly and not quite correctly reported in a contemporary antiquarian journal, and next totally forgotten. Its concealment resulted most probably from events of the Thirty Years’ War or the plague of 1633. The hoard contained several untypical coins, possibly chosen for their religious message, among others, a unique ongaro of Maccagno Inferiore. This makes us to consider the time, ways and reasons of the contemporary inflow of north-Italian gold coins into the lands of the Bohemian Crown the area of Zagórze belonged to in the 17th century.
Don Abbondio: chi era costui...?
Authors: Ruotolo Giuseppe
Published: January 2025

La figura di don Abbondio, personaggio considerevole nel romano storico I promessi sposi di Alessandro Manzoni, è sinonimo di ecclesiastico vuoto di spirito sacerdotale, codardo e insicuro nella società della prima metà del XVII secolo. Per contro don Abbondio prestava denaro contro pegno e cambiava soldi, apprezzabili funzioni sociali non esenti da rischi e, anzi, abbastanza pericolose. Se ne propone il profilo organizzativo osservandolo nelle tre diverse stesure dell’opera manzoniana. Ne emerge la figura di un curato attento e preciso, ma in ogni caso privo di carità cristiana. La citazione nel romanzo di alcuni tipi monetari offre l’occasione per puntualizzare i sistemi ponderali in uso in zecche di diverse città d’Italia nel periodo in cui è ambientato il romanzo.
