COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF HIGH-GRADE ASTROCYTOMA GRADE III: ANAPLASTIC ASTROCYTOMA – PREVALENCE, PATHOLOGY, TREATMENT, AND RECURRENCE
Authors: Oros Mykhaylo , Pulyk Oleksandr , Oros Jr Mykhailo
Published: June 2024

Anaplastic astrocytoma (AA), classified as a Grade III high-grade astrocytoma by the World Health Organization, represents a significant subset of malignant brain tumors. This literature review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of AA, covering its prevalence, types, pathological features, treatment modalities, and recurrence patterns. AA primarily affects adults between the ages of 30 and 50, with a slightly higher incidence in males. The tumor is characterized by increased cellularity, significant nuclear atypia, and brisk mitotic activity, distinguishing it from lower-grade astrocytomas. Pathologically, AA displays heterogeneity in molecular alterations, including mutations in the IDH1 and IDH2 genes, loss of heterozygosity on chromosome 10, and alterations in the p53 pathway, contributing to its aggressive behavior and resistance to conventional therapies. Standard treatment involves maximal surgical resection followed by radiotherapy and adjuvant chemotherapy with temozolomide, which has been shown to improve progression-free survival. Despite aggressive treatment, recurrence is common, often progressing to glioblastoma multiforme, a Grade IV astrocytoma, which portends a poor prognosis. Recent advancements in molecular profiling and targeted therapies offer hope for improved management and outcomes. Ongoing research into the tumor microenvironment and immunotherapeutic approaches holds promise for future therapeutic strategies. This review underscores the need for continued exploration of innovative treatments and personalized medicine to enhance survival and quality of life for patients with anaplastic astrocytoma.

Authors: Fitkalo Oleh S. , Arden John
Published: June 2024

The aim of the study: To investigate the characteristics of stress resistance among cadets under the influence of combat stress, identify the personality-psychological profile of students prone to depression, and establish the correlation with academic performance.
Materials and methods: The main group of participants in our study consisted of 45 cadets in their fourth year of training who were involved in combat operations and diagnosed with varying degrees of combat stress. The age range of the respondents was between 20 and 26.
In the study, a complex of psychodiagnostic methods was used, including the “Combat Stress Questionnaire” by Blinov O. A. (CSQ), the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) for diagnosing depressive symptoms, and an analysis of the academic performance of cadets who participated in combat operations. All developed express methods underwent appropriate standardization and practical testing, demonstrating high effectiveness.
According to the results of the study of depression levels in cadets, the following were diagnosed: 5 (11%) cadets had a high degree of depression, 9 (20%) cadets had an average degree of depression, 18 (40%) cadets had a mild degree of depression, and 13 (29%) cadets had no signs of depression.
Conclusions: All 45 (100%) cadets who participated in combat operations were in combat stress. 71.1% of respondents showed signs of depression. The result of the impact of combat stress is damage to the soldiers’ psyche, which takes the form of combat-mental trauma. The intensity of experiencing combat stress depended on the main factors: the strength and duration of the impact on the psyche and the individual psychological features of the body’s response to their impact, character and level of motivation.

Introduction. Birth defects (BDs) are an essential public health issue in children; the identification of probable risk factors should be a priority for the healthcare system.
Objectives: This study aimed to determine the probable risk factors for “model” BDs in newborns.
Methods. We collected and analyzed clinical-epidemiological and medical-statistic data from the primary records of children with BDs born in 2002–2022 using the “case-control” method, filling out the registration cards in maternity hospitals of Lviv Region (Ukraine).
Results. There were 1,279 healthy newborns’ cards and 1,286 cards of newborns with BDs filled out. No significant difference was found in terms of body weight, height, head circumference, and chest circumference (p>0.05) among children with BDs and the control group. The age of mothers with children affected by BD was 27.3±6.1 years and had no statistically significant difference from the age of mothers of children in the control group - 25.6±7.2 years (p>0.05).
Mothers who gave birth to children with BDs used drugs in the preconception period [OR=2.46; 95% CI: 1.75; 3.44] and the first trimester of pregnancy [OR=4.76; 95% CI: 3.18; 7.14] significantly more often (p<0.05) compared to mothers in the control group. Pre-pregnancy preparations were adequately conducted by 278 (21.6%) women who gave birth to children with BDs, which was statistically different from 563 (44%) women in the control group (p<0.05) [OR=2.85; 95% CI: 2.39; 3.39].
Conclusions. More efforts are necessary to identify drug safety issues during pregnancy and to improve the current information system for clinical practice.

Authors: Bek Nataliia , Besh Dmytro , Zimba Olena , Kovalchuk Iryna
Published: June 2024

A congenital anomaly of coronary vessels in the form of myocardial muscle bridges (MBs) is most commonly located in the left coronary artery’s system, specifically in the middle segment of the anterior interventricular branch. Typically considered a benign condition, it can be asymptomatic. However, the presence of MBs has been associated with various clinical manifestations, some of which pose threats to the life and health of patients, unresolved issues that include medical management tactics for handling such patients, specifics of assisting during complications and determining the need for intervention in asymptomatic cases. This article presents contemporary perspectives on the clinic, diagnosis, and treatment of symptomatic patients with MBs, considering concomitant myocardial ischemia. We presented a case of a 41-year-old male with the myocardial bridge in the left coronary artery characterized by a high degree of systolic compression of the vessel, widespread exercise-induced subendocardial ischemia with abdominal pain and WPW phenomenon.
UKRAINIAN ENCYCLOPEDIC AND DICTIONARY PUBLICATIONS AS A MEANS OF DISSEMINATING
Authors: Zhelezniak Mykola , Ishchenko Oleksandr
Published: June 2024

The article deals with topical issues of medical lexicography and encyclopedic studies. In particular, based on a review of Ukrainian (Ukrainian-language) specialized medical dictionaries and encyclopedias published in different years, starting from the end of the 19th century, the authors conclude that currently, no such reference work meets the expectations of modern readers and does not provide them with proper contemporary knowledge. In other words, for some reason, printed medical reference literature may not (rapid obsoleting of information, inaccessibility of sources, often inconsistency of terminology, its incompleteness) actively fulfill its reference function in contemporary society. Noteworthy that in Ukraine, where several academic medical institutes and specialized institutions of higher education operate, many medical dictionaries have been published for more than a century, including encyclopedic dictionaries, but no academic complete (multi-volume) encyclopedia on medicine has ever been compiled. The authors justify the need to create an extensive contemporary medical dictionary and encyclopedic resource, which would serve as a corpus of medical terms in Ukrainian and contain interesting and relevant knowledge in medicine, including descriptions of diseases, means and methods of treatment, as well as information on the history of medical science, its branches; provide information on prominent representatives of the medical field, leading medical centers of the country, medical education institutions, etc., the general contribution of Ukrainian medicine to the global medicine. Such a resource would be helpful both for specialists and the public, would be actively used in the professional activities of medical professionals and the education of students, and would generally contribute to the dissemination of quality medical knowledge in Ukrainian society.

Supplying phosphorus and zinc through foliar supplementation can be beneficial for crops experiencing higher demand compared to supply from soil. Phosphorus and zinc, an important micronutrient significantly influence various yield components of Boro rice production. A research investigation was conducted to evaluate the impact of foliar application of phosphorus and zinc on the Boro rice yield. The research included two varieties cv. BRRI dhan28 and BRRI dhan89 and five treatments of phosphorus and zinc fertilizer management viz. F1 (Recommended dose of fertilizers, RDF), F2 (RDF + foliar supplementation of 1% P at panicle initiation stage), F3 (RDF + foliar supplementation of 0.5% ZnSO4.7H2O at panicle initiation stage), F4 (RDF + foliar supplementation of both 1% P and 0.5% ZnSO4.7H2O at panicle initiation stage) and F5 (75% RDF + foliar supplementation of both 1% P and 0.5% ZnSO4.7H2O at panicle initiation stage). The study was conducted employing a randomized complete block design and it was replicated thrice. The application of phosphorus and zinc fertilizer through foliar supplementation significantly impacted the yield components of Boro rice. The highest plant height (96.60 cm), total tillers hill-1 (11.80), effective tillers hill-1 (11.50), panicle length (24.10 cm), grains panicle-1 (129.43), 1000-grain weight (25.12 g), grain yields (8.01 t ha-1), straw yields (8.04 t ha-1), biological yield (16.05) and harvest index (49.90 %) were resulted with BRRI dhan89 when applied with RDF + foliar application of both 1% P and 0.5% ZnSO4.7H2O at panicle initiation stage. Based on the findings, it can be inferred that BRRI dhan89 resulted in superior performance compared to BRRI dhan28 and RDF with a foliar application of both 1% P and 0.5% ZnSO4.7H2O at the panicle initiation stage performed best for BRRI dhan89.

Article 24A (5) of the 1945 Constitution regulates the composition, position, membership, and procedural law of the Supreme Court and subordinate judicial bodies. Initially limited to bankruptcy, postponement of debt payment obligations (PKPU), and commercial matters by Law Number 37 of 2004, the jurisdiction of the Commercial Court has expanded through other laws. This expansion raises two key issues: (1) The need for legal remedies for objections to decisions of the Competition Supervisory Commission (KPPU), and (2) The competence of the Commercial Court to address these objections. This research uses a normative juridical method, suggesting that legal remedies for objections to KPPU decisions should be regulated in a separate law, addressing decisions from institutions beyond the judiciary’s jurisdiction. The procedural aspects for contesting KPPU decisions, outlined in Article 45 of the Omnibus Law Number 6 of 2023, should first be determined within the competence of the Commercial Court as regulated by law. The current institutional arrangements and authority of the Commercial Court, as outlined in the Bankruptcy and PKPU Laws and laws on Intellectual Property Rights, should be revised through a dedicated Law on Commercial Courts. This law should define the court's structure, powers, procedural rules, and set time limits and sanctions for case resolution at both the Commercial Court and the Supreme Court.
Routing Protocol Mechanisms in Wireless Sensor Networks using Fuzzy Interface Algorithm
Authors: Kadhim Hashosh Ameer
Published: June 2024

Numerous sensor nodes make up a wireless sensor network. Sensor nodes work together to send information about the environment to the base station. Nodes are susceptible to failure during these operations due to power failure, hardware or software failure, etc.. Consequently, delivering dependable packages necessitates achieving two important objectives: energy efficiency and minimized error rate. A novel approach is proposed to distribute the workload among each sensor node to accomplish these objectives. When estimating the scope of communication between nodes, uncertainties are dealt with using the fuzzy logic method. During some weather hazards, the features and cables are particularly challenging to monitor with simple devices in the WAN area. Remote sensing units are used to check and display the feature conditions to resolve this issue. Using machine learning algorithms, the collected data will be analyzed and processed to create a prediction horizon that will be useful for environmental studies and early warning systems. The MatLab2020b simulation program, which has useful tools and learning applications, will be used to carry out this task. The FIS algorithm obtained a cost distance of just 629 m out of the total WSN sensor lengths of 2600 m, which is the best cost among all implemented routing protocol techniques in this study.

Researchers' interests and academic journals are crucial for advancing scientific inquiry. Journals serve as platforms for sharing and validating discoveries, fostering a symbiotic relationship that advances our collective understanding and pushes the boundaries of human knowledge. Journals, which encompass natural edge research and establish benchmarks for academic rigor. In this paper, an analysis, using text mining, of the publications of Iraqi researchers in scientific journals is used to extract the researcher's interest. In more detail, this paper utilizes the following technologies: pre-processing (tokenization, POS (“Part Of Speech”), normalization, case folding, lemmatization) – filtering (stop word elimination) - feature Extraction (TF-IDF), as well as classification using deep neural network classifier (DNNC), to address the problem of identifying the researcher's interests through texts (title &abstract) analysis. The Iraqi researchers’ data in the field of computer science from the years 2010-2022. As obtained from the Scopus repository, a total of 1170 papers were collected via API- key and scrubber depending on the keyword of computer science and the year. Furthermore, these papers were manually classified based on the hierarchical classification of the ACM journal. Finally, the best results obtained from a classification using DNN and TF-IDF as classifying terms achieved a precision of 90%, Recall of 90%, f1-score of 90%, and accuracy of 90%.
KAPSAYICI LİDERLİK İLE ÇALIŞANLARIN POZİTİF PSİKOLOJİK SERMAYE DÜZEYİNİN İLİŞKİSİ
Authors: Vural Özkan Gülşah
Published: June 2024

Amaç:
Bu çalışmanın temel amacı kapsayıcı liderlik ve boyutlarının çalışanların pozitif psikolojik sermaye düzeyi üzerindeki etkilerini incelemektir. Bunula birlikte, çalışanların pozitif psikolojik sermaye geliştirilmesinde bağlamsal faktörlerin önemine dikkat çekmeyi ve kapsayıcı liderliğin Türk kültüründeki etkilerini incelemeyi hedeflemektedir.

Tasarım/Yöntem:
Araştırmanın değişkenlerini ölçmek için Carmeli, Reiter-Palmon ve Ziv, (2010) tarafından geliştirilen Kapsayıcı Liderlik Ölçeği ve Luthans, Avolio, Avey ve Norman (2007) tarafından geliştirilen Pozitif Psikolojik Sermaye Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Çalışma grubunu İstanbul'daki 13 farklı sektörde çalışan 311 beyaz yakalı oluşturmaktadır. Demografik veriler tanımlayıcı istatistiklerle incelenmiş, araştırma hipotezlerini test etmek için Pearson korelasyon analizi ve basit regresyon analizi kullanılmıştır.

Sonuçlar:
Yapılan analizler sonucunda çalışanların pozitif psikolojik sermaye düzeyinin liderlerin kapsayıcılık düzeyinden etkilendiği tespit edilmiştir. Kapsayıcı liderliğin pozitif psikolojik sermayenin alt boyutlarıyla ilişkisi incelendiğinde umut, iyimserlik ve dayanıklılıkla anlamlı ilişkiler bulunurken özyeterlilikle anlamlı bir ilişki bulunamadığı görülmektedir. Kapsayıcı liderliğin pozitif psikolojik sermayenin alt bileşenlerinden iyimserlik düzeyini, umut ve dayanıklılığa göre daha güçlü düzeyde açıkladığı görülmektedir. Kapsayıcı liderliğin alt boyutları karşılaştırıldığında ise açıklık boyutunun pozitif psikolojik sermaye ve özyeterlilik dahil tüm bileşenlerinin ortaya çıkmasında ulaşılabilirlik boyutuna göre daha etkili olduğu saptanmıştır.

Uygulama Çıkarımları:
Pozitif psikolojik sermaye geliştirilebilir bir yapı olduğu için kapsayıcı liderlik ve pozitif psikolojik sermaye ilişkisinin saptanması liderlere astlarında pozitif psikolojik sermayeyi geliştirecek davranışlar konusunda yol gösterici olacaktır.

Özgün Değer:
Uluslararası literatürde kapsayıcı liderlik ve pozitif psikolojik sermayenin ilişkisinin incelendiği çalışma sayısının kısıtlı olduğu, Türkçe literatürde ise bu ilişkiyi inceleyen çalışmanın yer almadığı görülmektedir. Bu nedenle bu çalışma, liderlik ve pozitif örgütsel psikoloji literatürüne katkı sağlamaktadır.

Published: June 2024

Objetivo: Descrever os fatores que contribuem com a não adesão às medidas fotoprotetivas em pacientes diagnosticados com câncer de pele não melanoma. Detalhamento de Caso: Três pacientes do sexo masculino, residentes da cidade de Manaus, autodeclarados fototipo II, diagnosticados com câncer de pele não melanoma em tratamento, relatam exercer funções laborais que exigem grande exposição solar há mais de 20 anos. Nas consultas afirmaram desconhecer, antes do diagnóstico, o que são barreiras de fotoproteção; entretanto, após educação em saúde, ainda não fazem uso de protetor solar regularmente nem de outras barreiras físicas, como foi recomendado. Considerações Finais: Dos fatores que contribuíram para a falta de adesão às medidas profiláticas sugeridas pela equipe de saúde, destacam-se os referentes a baixa renda, por isso, não compravam o protetor solar ou não reaplicavam com frequência, além disso, observou-se que o medo do diagnóstico e do tratamento não foi um fator preponderante para que todos os pacientes deste estudo reduzissem o tempo de exposição solar, visto que seus respectivos trabalhos dependem desse agravante a sua saúde. Por fim, destaca-se a importância da avaliação socioeconômica dos pacientes para sugerir medidas passíveis de execução e constante conscientização da relevância do autocuidado para o tratamento.

Published: June 2024

Objectives:

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive reduction in renal function. It is a condition where the kidneys lose their normal function, especially excretory and regulatory functions. Urea and creatinine are good indicators of a normal functioning kidney and an increase in the serum indicates kidney dysfunction. Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine are widely accepted and the most common parameters to assess renal functions. The present study was done to assess the serum urea, creatinine levels, and BUN-creatinine ratio (BCR) in CKD subjects.

Material and Methods:

It was a record-based retrospective study. Data were obtained from the Medical Records Department. The patients diagnosed with CKD in August 2023 were extracted from the records. Details such as hospital ID, age, gender, and blood parameters such as serum urea, creatinine levels, and BCR were obtained. Categorical data were summarized as frequency (percentage).

Results:

It was found that the number of male patients was 24 (75.4%) and the number of female patients was 14 (24.6%). The majority of patients belonging to the age group category of 50–75 were 42 in number (73.6%). Abnormal creatinine values were found in 54 patients (94.7%).

Conclusion:

The present study found that male gender and age group 50–75 years were most commonly affected with CKD. The serum creatinine level was found to be predominately abnormal compared to the serum urea level and BCR.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of 12 weeks of resistance exercise training on body weight (BW), body mass index (BMI), total fat mass (FM), trunk, arm, and leg fat mass, and total lean body mass (LBM), arm, and leg lean mass of sedentary overweight healthy males. Twenty-nine sedentary overweight healthy males, aged 18-30 years, with a BMI ≥ 25, were enrolled in the study. The subjects were randomly assigned to either a resistance exercise group (REG, n=15) or an aerobic exercise group (AEG, n=14). Randomized subjects followed resistance (3 sessions/wk 60 min 2 sets × 12 repetitions of 5–7 exercises at 65% 1 repetition maximum in 1-4 weeks, 3 sets × 10 repetitions of 5–7 exercises at 75% 1 repetition maximum in 5-8 weeks, and 4 sets × 8 repetitions of 5–7 exercises at 85% 1 repetition maximum in 9-12 weeks,) and aerobic exercise programs (3 sessions/wk 60 min aerobic exercises at 40-50% heart rate reserve in 1-6 weeks and 70%–75% maximal heart rate in 5-8 weeks). At baseline and after the intervention session, total and regional body composition measurements were assessed using the Jawon make body composition analyzer (model IOI-353 Yuseong, South Korea). After the intervention study, there were significant differences observed between the groups regarding the investigated variables (BW, BMI, LBM, trunk, arm, leg lean mass, and arm fat mass p< .05). Both REG and AEG were significantly decreased the amount of total FM, BF, trunk fat mass, arm fat mass, and leg fat mass (p< .05). Trunk and arm lean mass were significantly improved only in the REG (p< .05). In conclusion, resistance exercise training is an efficient training protocol, which produced a better improvement in regional lean mass.

Bovine ephemeral fever is an arthropod-borne viral disease that primarily affects cattle and causes economic losses mainly due to the sudden decrease in milk yield. We aimed to reveal the biochemical reflection of the acute phase response by detecting the changes in serum acute phase proteins in cattle naturally infected with the bovine ephemeral fever virus. The material of this study consisted of 21 Simmental dairy cows (4–6 years old) naturally infected with bovine ephemeral fever virus (infected group) and 10 clinically and serologically healthy Simmental dairy cows (control group). The prevalence of the disease in suspected cattle was 52 per 100. It was determined that in infected cows levels of serum haptoglobin, serum amyloid A (P < 0.001), and ceruloplasmin increased significantly (P < 0.05), whereas levels of albumin decreased significantly (P < 0.05). It is thought that the acute phase proteins variation pattern for bovine ephemeral fever would be beneficial both in better understanding the pathogenesis of the disease and in determining the diagnosis and prognosis correctly.

Suxibuzone is a prodrug of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug phenylbutazone. The aim of this study was to investigate the nephrotoxicity of suxibuzone using the recommended dosage in euhydrated horses. Serum creatinine levels were used to monitor for the presence of acute kidney injury (AKI) in 11 systemically healthy horses treated orally with suxibuzone at the recommended dosage for five days. Symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA), urine gamma glutamyl transferase/urine creatinine, fractional excretion of sodium, urine protein-to-creatinine ratio, and urine sediment were assessed as additional monitoring parameters. A significant increase in creatinine was found in treated horses (P = 0.002), 27% (3/11) of treated horses were classified as having AKI compared to 0% of controls (0/10), and a strong correlation was found between the change in creatinine and the change in SDMA in treated horses (τ = 0.645, P = 0.012). The results of this study suggest that treatment with suxibuzone at the recommended dosage can induce AKI even in systemically healthy euhydrated horses.

Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is the most common reason for valve replacement surgery in elderly people. CAVD is a slowly progressive disorder ranging from a mild aortic sclerosis to a more severe aortic stenosis. This article describes a case of heterotopic ossification in the aortic valve accidentally found at necropsy of presumably healthy 21-year-old mare euthanized for reasons unrelated to the cardiovascular system. Histopathological examination confirmed mature lamellar bone in the aortic valve area. To our best knowledge, heterotopic ossification of the aortic valve is a rare condition in horses and it has been reported in only two cases.

This study aimed to strengthen the antioxidant defenses against the toxic effect of mercury, by administering a synthetic antioxidant (vitamin E) and a natural product rich in antioxidant compounds (virgin olive oil) to rabbits. Hepatic and renal biomarker levels, cortisol and testosterone synthesis, mercury concentration, relative weight of organs, and tissue architecture were studied. The results showed a significant decrease in the plasma alkaline phosphatase (ALP), plasma aspartate aminotransferase (AST), serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), plasma testosterone levels, and relative weight of the liver, testes, and adrenal in the mercury treated group (group M), while the other indices were significantly increased in the m-group compared to the control (group C). However, the group treated with olive oil combined with mercury (group O) showed a significant decrease in the ALP, AST, ALT, testosterone levels, and adrenal relative weight, while plasma creatinine, uric acid levels, mercury concentration in organs, and the kidney relative weight were significantly increased. Vitamin E supplementation (group E) led to a significant decrease in the ALP, testosterone levels, and adrenal relative weight, a significant increase was observed in plasma levels of triglycerides, creatinine, and uric acid. Histological sections of the liver, kidney, testis, and adrenal of group M showed severe tissue damage, while the other groups showed less important tissue alterations demonstrating that supplementation with natural or synthetic antioxidants can protect against the toxicity of heavy metals such as mercury, improving the health of rabbits.

The problem of waste as waste that continues to be produced not only by the industrial sector but also the household sector turns out to be a problem that is not only an environmental problem but also a social problem that has a long-term impact. Low public understanding and awareness then make the problem even worse. The habit of people who often litter and accumulate garbage in open areas will cause environmental pollution, especially soil which will then have an impact on the water content in the soil, blockages in waterways which can then cause disasters for the environment. To overcome this, waste management needs to be carried out comprehensively and integrated from upstream to downstream with a circular economy approach by the central government, local governments and the community, so as to provide economic benefits, healthy for the community, and safe for the environment. The application of the 4-R principle (reduce, reuse, recycle and replace) in waste management and encouragement to raise awareness of the dangers of waste must be instilled from an early age, especially in children and adolescents and society in general. The importance of 4R (reduce, reuse, recycle, replace) is very vital for the preservation of a clean and economical environment in Lhokseumawe City.
