Oral Factor Xa (FXa) Inhibitors for Treatment of Heparin-induced Thrombocytopenia (HIT)
Authors: Munafo Nicholas , Patel Sagar , Willett Kristine C. , Morrill Amanda
Published: December 2020

Background::

Heparin is the most commonly used injectable anticoagulant for many indications,
ranging from the treatment of atrial fibrillation to the prevention of clotting in patients
undergoing surgery. Currently, only argatroban and bivalirudin are FDA approved for the management
of heparin induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) in the United States, both of which are direct
thrombin inhibitors. The agents being reviewed, apixaban and rivaroxaban, are oral direct factor
Xa (FXa) inhibitors. Currently, neither has FDA approval for use in HIT. The objective of this review
is to summarize the current evidence available regarding the use of oral factor Xa inhibitors
for the treatment of HIT.

Methods::

A literature search was conducted using Medline and Ovid Embase. Search terms included
heparin-induced thrombocytopenia, HIT, apixaban, rivaroxaban, Xa Inhibitor, direct thrombin
inhibitor, NOAC, and DOAC. Studies and case reports were included if they evaluated the efficacy
and safety of oral FXa inhibitors for the treatment of HIT. Additional literature and case reports
were found through bibliographic review.

Results and Discussion:

Currently, available literature includes an in vitro study with apixaban,
case reports, and retrospective and prospective cohort studies. The in vitro study evaluated the interaction
between apixaban and platelets in the presence of HIT antibodies, which assessed its potential
for use in HIT management. Fourteen case reports and one case series were also identified, of
which six described treatment with apixaban and eight with rivaroxaban. Lastly, four cohort
studies were published evaluating the use of direct acting oral anticoagulants (DOACs), including
oral factor Xa inhibitors in patients with HIT. Although there are no published randomized control
trials evaluating the use of FXa inhibitors in the management of HIT, there are several findings that
may guide clinicians on the use of these agents in practice.

Conclusion::

As indicated by the case reports, case series and cohort studies detailing clinical use
and described in this manuscript, there are data and positive patient outcomes that support the potential
use of these agents for HIT, and are an impetus for future studies.
Potential Impacts of Prebiotics and Probiotics on Cancer Prevention
Authors: Samanta Saptadip
Published: December 2020

Background::

Cancer is a serious problem throughout the world. The pathophysiology of cancer is multifactorial and is also related to gut microbiota. Intestinal microbes are the useful resident of the healthy human. They play various aspects of human health including nutritional biotransformation, flushing of the pathogens, toxin neutralization, immune response, and onco-suppression. Disruption in the interactions among the gut microbiota, intestinal epithelium, and the host immune system are associated with gastrointestinal disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, metabolic syndrome, and cancer. Probiotic bacteria (Lactobacillus spp., Bifidobacterium spp.) have been regarded as beneficial to health and shown to play a significant role in immunomodulation and displayed preventive role against obesity, diabetes, liver disease, inflammatory bowel disease, tumor progression, and cancer.

Objective::

The involvement of gut microorganisms in cancer development and prevention has been recognized as a balancing factor. The events of dysbiosis emphasize metabolic disorder and carcinogenesis. The gut flora potentiates immunomodulation and minimizes the limitations of usual chemotherapy. The significant role of prebiotics and probiotics on the improvement of immunomodulation and antitumor properties has been considered.

Methods::

I had reviewed the literature on the multidimensional activities of prebiotics and probiotics from the NCBI website database PubMed, Springer Nature, Science Direct (Elsevier), Google Scholar database to search relevant articles. Specifically, I had focused on the role of prebiotics and probiotics in immunomodulation and cancer prevention.

Results::

Prebiotics are the nondigestible fermentable sugars that selectively influence the growth of probiotic organisms that exert immunomodulation over the cancerous growth. The oncostatic properties of bacteria are mediated through the recruitment of cytotoxic T cells, natural killer cells, and oxidative stress-induced apoptosis in the tumor microenvironment. Moreover, approaches have also been taken to use probiotics as an adjuvant in cancer therapy.

Conclusion::

The present review has indicated that dysbiosis is the crucial factor in many pathological situations including cancer. Applications of prebiotics and probiotics exhibit the immune-surveillance as oncostatic effects. These events increase the possibilities of new therapeutic strategies for cancer prevention.
Nanoremediation: Tiny Objects Solving Huge Environmental Problems
Authors: Rónavári Andrea , Kónya Zoltán
Published: December 2020

Background:

The application of zero-valent iron nanoparticles (nZVI) to remediate soil and
groundwater has gained increased attention within the last decade, primarily due to their high reactivity,
cost-effectiveness and potential to treat a broad range of contaminants (e.g., chlorinated organic solvents,
inorganic anions, or metals).

Objective:

In this paper, the state of the art of applicability of nanomaterials, especially the most frequently
used nZVI in soil and groundwater, is presented. The purpose of this article is to give an overview
of the current knowledge pertaining to the synthesis, employment, limitations, and risk of iron
nanoparticles.

Methods:

Therefore, the authors have reviewed and discussed the recent patents and papers related to
the developments and approaches made on the synthesis of iron nanoparticles, emphasizing the justification
of green synthesis methods. The studies related to the effective use of nanoparticles in remediating
organic and inorganic contaminants are addressed. The potential limitations, challenges, and risks
of this innovative nanoremediation technology are also discussed.

Results:

Studies suggest that nZVI have successfully been applied in nanoremediation, however little is known about the particles’ fate and impacts. Additionally, it has already been proven that synthesis and modification can largely determine the physicochemical and biological properties of the particles.

Conclusion:

This review corroborates the suitability of nanoparticles in the remediation of contaminated media, simultaneously highlighting the work still needed to optimize the syntheses and careful use of such materials, concluding that comprehensive screenings should be performed prior nZVI applications to assess their behavior and impact on the environment and living systems.

studies on isolation of bioactive molecules and their pharmacological studies are recommended that could be of great
significance towards clinical application of this plant.
Potnet: Online Potable Water Quality Monitoring Network for Overhead Water Tanks in Rural Water Supply Schemes in India
Authors: Karuppiah Nagalakshmi , Vaithiyanathasamy Vaishnavee , Raji Anand Babu , Murugaiyan Suresh Valiyurar
Published: December 2020

Background:

Monitoring the quality of potable water is a challenging endeavor due to the
significant sources of contaminants, the majority of which are human-induced. Limited access to drinking
water owing to acceleration in industrialization, urbanization in consort with growing inhabitants,
unprocessed sewage discharge, and toxic industrial effluents causes different life-threatening diseases.
Manual water quality monitoring techniques vividly aggravate quality deterioration. Considering the
significance of the automatic water quality monitoring system, we need an in-situ, real-time, continuous
surveillance system to ascertain the quality of potable water. Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) motivated
us for a practical water quality monitoring system due to their continuous, real-time, and adaptive
infrastructure to provide an early alert in hazardous conditions.

Objective:

To design and implement an online potable water quality monitoring network for rural water
supply schemes in Nagapattinam district, Tamilnadu, India, to sense physiochemical parameters of potable
water such as pH, turbidity, conductivity and temperature.

Methods:

Online POTable water quality monitoring NETwork (POTNET) integrates the reimbursements
of WSN and different information and communication technologies for data acquisition, data
processing, and data visualization. The core hardware of POTNET contains off-the-shelf sensors (i.e.,
electrodes), a microcontroller, a data transmission system, a customized buoyage, and a sink node. It
senses physiochemical parameters of potable water such as pH, turbidity, conductivity, and temperature
in a pre-programmed time interval. Furthermore, it enables cloud storage for gathered information and
generates an alert to the preregistered user via mobile phones when there is a deviation of quality
measures from threshold values.

Results:

The system was implemented in three overhead tanks for seven days in order to validate the
stability of the buoy and efficiency of energy source, storage, and data transmission. It senses physiochemical
parameters of potable water such as pH, turbidity, conductivity, and temperature in its predefined
interval of 30 minutes. To check the system accuracy, the measured data values from developed
sensors were compared with the observed data values using a commercial multi-parameter water checker,
the Horiba® probe. Measured data were sent through the transceivers to the base station for data
logging in a suitable format for ease of data visualization and utilization.

Conclusion:

Extensive experimental results reveal that our POTNET can be employed for potable water
quality surveillance to help consumers or concern authorities to make a sound decision by providing
appropriate and real-time data.

Authors: Duda Oleksii , Matsiuk Oleksandr , Kunanets Nataliia , Pasichnyk Volodymyr , Rzheuskyi Antonii , Bilak Yuriy
Published: December 2020

Aim:

The aim of this work is to construct a system of interrelated procedures that are used
in the formation of data warehouses for information systems in smart cities.

Objectives:

Currently, the number of IoT devices integrated into the systems of information technology
support of the processes taking place in supply networks of resources of Smart City, is constantly
growing. While functioning, extensive sets of various types of information are generated. Using a single
database, it is not possible to store data sets collected for multiple resource networks on a large
city scale.

Methods:

This work is devoted to the research and improvement of processes of formation of data
hypercubes, which are an informational model of functioning of urban resource networks on the basis
of data coming from systems of IoT devices. Methods of information modeling and construction of
data hypercubes were used in research, taking into account the high dynamics and rapidity of resource
supply processes.

Results:

In this study, mainly the data hypercubes were constructed on the basis of the proposed improved
methods that work based on messages received from real-functioning systems of IoT devices
in urban resource networks. The use of this technology in the framework of information and technological
support of the processes in urban resource networks provides an opportunity for detailed analysis
of the current state of material resources of the city, and identifies trends in their changes and
states by comparing data belonging to different time periods and different by origin collections.

Conclusion:

The basic characteristics of the data warehouse, which provides information about urban
resource networks, are analyzed. The analysis and construction of data hypercubes prototypes on urban
resource networks were carried out. Classification and parameterization of many categories and
attributes were carried out to describe processes in urban resource networks, which allowed, using the
OLAP information technology based on hypercubes, to develop information technology of complex
multidimensional data analysis, obtained using IoT devices that characterize the flow of processes in
the urban resource networks. The obtained results propose the procedures of formation of data hypercubes,
containing information about the progress of urban resource networks, used in the development
of real information systems that collect data using IoT devices. The information technology of process
support in urban resource networks is developed for use in different types of resource networks in the
presence of several providers.
Uma quinta que fosse só sua: sobre a cidade e as serras
Authors: De Sá André Corrêa
Published: December 2020

A Cidade e as Serras, romance póstumo de Eça de Queirós, é um dos livros que mais controvérsia tem gerado na crítica especializada, que não consegue decidir-se sobre o tipo de ideias e de argumentos que nele se defendem, nem sobre as razões pelas quais se justifica voltarmos a examinar a história de Jacinto. Qualificado por uns, que na história do milionário que troca a Civilização pela Natureza, assim encontrando o sentido para a vida que em Paris lhe faltava, reconhecem o ponto mais alto da imaginação irónica de Eça e a esperança de um humanista que se empenhou em combater a injustiça económica e social, e desqualificado por outros, que o veem como a prova da decadência de Eça, que, abandonando os desígnios de transformação da sociedade que marcaram a sua carreira de escritor realista, traía a sua personalidade literária e nos oferecia, na última fase da obra, a apologia de um Portugal reacionário e tradicionalista. Apesar das diferenças entre os vários juízos críticos, todos nos dizem que A Cidade e as Serras corresponde ao espelho da relação que Eça mantinha com Portugal e, em sentido lato, com o Mundo Moderno. Mudando os termos da discussão, neste ensaio procuro mostrar o que acontece se resistirmos à tentação de explicar uma abstração como ‘Tormes’ nos termos de uma imagem de Portugal e dos portugueses. Concluirei argumentando que, se quisermos encontrar na lição exemplar de Jacinto um conjunto de sugestões ainda úteis acerca de como viver uma vida boa e gratificante, devemos ver a sua opção por Tormes como contingencial, privada e temporária, não como uma solução permanente e comunitária para o tédio moderno.
Ler textos literários em aula de PLE: Alguns pressupostos e interrogações
Authors: Xavier Lola Geraldes
Published: December 2020

Sendo a língua o meio primordial de aproximação à cultura do Outro, o seu ensino terá de ter em consideração contextos de aprendizagem que propiciem o contacto cultural. São vários os veículos privilegiados para esse contacto. A literatura é um deles, permitindo desenvolver a expressão de respostas pessoais, a análise e crítica de textos. É nesse sentido que aponta o CEFRL Companion volume with new descriptors (2018), do Conselho de Europa. O uso de textos literários no início da aprendizagem de uma língua estrangeira não é consensual. Pretende-se, aqui, refletir sobre os contributos da literatura em contextos de ensino e aprendizagem do Português como língua estrangeira (PLE) no ensino superior. Nesse sentido, faz-se uma breve revisão geral dos estudos sobre o assunto, explorando-se o valor acrescido da literatura e o ensino da literatura em aula de língua estrangeira, a partir de uma perspetiva intercultural.
O pensamento Taoista e o olhar de Alberto Caeiro – Entre a filosofia Taoista clássica Chinesa e as ideias de Alberto Caeiro
Authors: De Sá Patrícia Barroso
Published: December 2020

O presente artigo tem como principal objetivo comentar e analisar comparativamente duas obras literárias: a obra poética de Alberto Caeiro, heterónimo do ilustre poeta português Fernando Pessoa, e a obra clássica chinesa Dao De Jing(道德经，Dào dé jīng) que está na base da Filosofia Taoista. Deste modo, pretende-se comparar as ideias interpretadas em ambas as obras, analisando semelhanças e diferenças, de forma a compreender as mesmas e as razões por detrás de tais similaridades e afastamentos. Para tal, ter-se-á sempre em conta diferenças culturais, não só provenientes do facto de as obras se encontrarem em países muito díspares e longínquos fisicamente, como também do facto de se localizarem em épocas temporalmente muito distantes.
Sistema temporo-aspetual: Um estudo comparativo entre Português europeu e Mandarim
Authors: Yang Aoran
Published: December 2020

Sendo os dois parâmetros distintos, o tempo e o aspeto podem ser codificados em diferentes formas entre línguas humanas, bem como as relações internas subjacentes a estas duas categorias. Este artigo apresenta uma análise descritiva dos sistemas temporo-aspetuais do Português Europeu (PE) e do Mandarim, tendo como objetivo detetar algumas diferenças e semelhanças entre as duas línguas a este respeito. O estudo demostra que, apesar de existirem várias diferenças notáveis, ainda se destacam certas semelhanças entre o PE e o Mandarim relativamente a como se veiculam as informações temporais e aspetuais, especialmente no que se referem ao uso de adjuntos adverbiais e à expressão dos valores de perfetividade e de imperfetividade.

Krisis breekt uit: identiteit, politiek, cultuur
Authors: Van Oenen Gijs
Published: December 2020

Identity politics, like Krisis, has its origins in the early 1980s. This coincides with Michel Foucault’s rejection of demands or claims of identity as ‘to be left to the police’. In a strange but perhaps inevitable twist of fate, identity politics has later one become affiliated precisely with policing, leading to political correctness in which identity claims are both mandatory and subject to politically motivated censure. While initially in the service of emancipation, identity has thus become weaponized, which reflects an important shift in political and cultural sensitivities between the 1980s and the 2010s.
Filosofie als praktijk. Krisis na 40 jaar
Authors: De Haan Ido
Published: December 2020

In its forty years of existence, Krisis, as a journal of contemporary philosophy, has aimed to develop a new philosophical praxis. This praxis is sketched here in the first place as the practical work of making a journal, in the context of a community of philosophers discussing a canon of contemporary thinkers as well a range of shared problems. Yet beyond that, Krisis has always struggled with the question how, as a philosophical practice, it is related to other practices. The debate about “empirical philosophy” forms a crucial episode in this debate, in which Krisis has explored analytical, existentialist, pragmatist and Marxist approaches to a philosophy as praxis. Since then, this debate has shifted along four dimensions, of science, culture, politics and economy. In conclusion, it is argued that the entanglement of the praxis of Krisis with these four other practices makes it difficult to identify what is philosophical about Krisis.

Anomia y esquizofrenia cultural, las máscaras Kichwas y Shuar en Puyo, Ecuador
Authors: Rojas Ortiz Lina María , Angel Méric Olivier Gérard
Published: December 2020

El artículo pretende descifrar el por qué los jóvenes de las comunidades Kichwa y Shuar en situación de conflicto cultural en la ciudad de Puyo, en Ecuador, se refugian en el uso de diferentes máscaras tanto en contextos urbanos como rurales para construir su identidad social a costa de su identidad cultural. Dentro del cuadro teórico del relativismo lingüístico, se consideró el uso de una metodología propia a la etnografía comunicativa, como las entrevistas realizadas a los jóvenes voluntarios, e identificando categorías de análisis de acuerdo al contexto social, a sus discursos y al uso de sus palabras. Se describió como el joven que se muda de un modelo social comunitario rural hacia un entorno universidad citadino construye su integración social en un esquema de esquizofrenia cultura. Basada en un acercamiento a los diferentes “yo” resultando de los procesos de aculturación desde los conceptos de dinero, educación, tiempo y espacio, la investigación determinó el costo de la negociación entre el “yo” universitario y el “yo” comunitario. Se logró identificar una intensificación del proceso de aculturación para solucionar el conflicto cultural, evitar la discriminación y lograr una integración social con el uso de máscaras, síntomas de anomia y esquizofrenia cultural.

From Catherine II’s Coup to Alexander Pushkin’s "The Captain’s Daughter": A Reflection on Sartorial and Spiritual Searching in Russian Culture
Authors: Ivleva Victoria
Published: December 2020

This article examines the origins of different attributions of the uniform that Catherine II wore on the day of the coup in 1762 that brought her to the throne. It traces the importance of this episode in eighteenth-century culture and in Catherine’s self-representation by looking at memoirs, as well as by exploring the history of the Preobrazhenskii and Semenovskii regiments, in terms of the guards’ uniforms and their cultural meanings, and by studying royal ceremonies and the iconography of eighteenth-century portraits. The article then uses the lens of Pushkin’s novel The Captain’s Daughter (1836) to rethink this episode in the context of early nineteenth-century history, Pushkin’s personal biography and his thoughts on Russian history and culture.
The 21st Century Cures Act: A Competitive Apps Market and the Risk of Innovation Blocking (Preprint)
Authors: Gordon William J , Mandl Kenneth D
Published: December 2020

UNSTRUCTURED

The 21st Century Cures Act and the recently published “final rule” define standardized methods for obtaining electronic copies of electronic health record (EHR) data through application programming interfaces. The rule is meant to create an ecosystem of reusable, substitutable apps that can be built once but run at any hospital system “without special effort.” Yet, despite numerous provisions around information blocking in the final rule, there is concern that the business practices that govern EHR vendors and health care organizations in the United States could still stifle innovation.
We describe potential app ecosystems that may form. We caution that misaligned incentives may result in anticompetitive behavior and purposefully limited functionality. Closed proprietary ecosystems may result, limiting the value derived from interoperability. The 21st Century Cures Act and final rule are an exciting step in the direction of improved interoperability. However, realizing the vision of a truly interoperable app ecosystem is not predetermined.
Kajian Penggunaan Data Log Mahasiswa untuk Berbagai Permasalahan Analisis Pembelajaran
Authors: Kusumawardani Sri Suning , Syukron Abu Ishaq Alfarozi
Published: December 2020

Pada saat ini, penyelenggaraan sistem pembelajaran daring menjadi hal yang penting di tengah pandemi untuk menekan persebaran virus COVID-19. Namun, sistem ini sangat sulit menjaga motivasi dan tingkat keterlibatan mahasiswa karena tidak ada interaksi langsung antara pengajar dengan mahasiswa. Makalah ini meninjau penggunaan data log mahasiswa untuk kebutuhan analisis pembelajaran guna memprediksi kinerja atau kecenderungan drop-out mahasiswa dari suatu mata kuliah dengan melihat pada data log interaksi mahasiswa dengan sistem dan data demografis mahasiswa menggunakan suatu data terbuka, yaitu Open University Learning Analytics Dataset (OULAD). Dari tinjauan beberapa artikel penelitian yang merujuk pada dataset tersebut, ada beberapa hal yang perlu ditinjau: 1) permasalahan yang sering diangkat, yaitu prediksi kecenderungan gagal dari mata kuliah tertentu, prediksi kinerja, dan prediksi keterlibatan mahasiswa; 2) fitur yang digunakan pada saat pemodelan, yaitu fitur demografis dan interaksi, baik yang diringkas secara harian atau mingguan dengan berbagai representasi fitur; 3) metode analisis pembelajaran yang secara khusus menggunakan metode pembelajaran mesin yang sering digunakan, yaitu Decision Tree (DT), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP), dan Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM). Makalah ini juga mendiskusikan proses mitigasi dari mahasiswa yang berisiko, perancangan sistem data yang mendukung analisis pembelajaran, dan permasalahan yang sering ditemui pada saat proses pemodelan.
La bioseguridad en los archivos cubanos y la Covid-19
Authors: Borrego Alonso Sofía Flavia
Published: December 2020

Cuando se piensa o habla sobre la bioseguridad en archivos, bibliotecas y museos inmediatamente se hace una asociación con las medidas a tomar para proteger al personal de la Covid-19 y, aunque este es un elemento esencial porque al ser una enfermedad nueva constituye el eje de atención principal, cabe mencionar que en los archivos cubanos la bioseguridad se viene aplicando desde la década del 80 del siglo pasado. Las características climáticas de Cuba, las condiciones de ventilación/climatización en los archivos de todo el país y el riesgo biológico latente al que se expone el personal (existencia de bioaerosoles fúngicos) han contribuido con la implementación y generalización de normas vinculadas con la bioseguridad. El procedimiento para la limpieza y desinfección de depósitos, mobiliario y documentos de archivos existente que se ha actualizado recientemente para cumplir con las expectativas de este momento ante la pandemia de la Covid-19, se ha establecido con carácter de obligatorio de cumplimiento en todos los archivos cubanos. Por ello, el objetivo de este trabajo es exponer la importancia de la bioseguridad en los archivos cubanos y sobre todo en este periodo de Covid-19 (durante y post pandemia).

La industrialización del mango genera subproductos con potencial para reprocesarse y comercializarse. En este estudio, se obtuvo del mango ʻAtaulfoʼ maduro la pectina del polvo del pericarpio, que se evaluó con un análisis FODA (Fortalezas-Oportunidades, Debilidades-Amenazas) la propuesta de valor agregado de extracción de pectina. El pericarpio del mango ʻAtaulfoʼ maduro, fue deshidratado, molido y presentólas siguientes características: contenido de 34.36 ± 1.67% de fibra soluble, 22.86 ± 0.03% de fibra insoluble, 0.39 ± 0.01 de actividad de agua y 38.72 ± 0.8 grados de ángulo de reposo. El rendimiento de la pectina con respecto al polvo de pericarpio fue de 5.40 ±1 %, con 94.27 ± 8.7 kDa en peso molecular, 6.35 ± 0.63% de grupos metoxilo y 46.07 ± 0.87% de esterificación. El espectro en infrarrojo de la pectina de mango ʻAtaulfoʼ maduro fue similar al espectro de las pectinas de subproductos de cítricos comerciales. El pericarpio deshidratado del mango ʻAtaulfoʼ maduro, puede ser utilizado en la elaboración de fórmulas alimenticias y la pectina enla industria de productos deshidratados de mango como valor agregado.

Published: December 2020

La recuperación de las heridas en la piel es un proceso complejo e interrelacionado que se desarrolla a través de varias fases (hemostasia, inflamatoria, proliferativa y remodelación). El Aloe-gel (AG) ha sido considerado un biomaterial que puede coadyuvar en la modulación, regeneración y aceleración de la recuperación del tejido celular dañado e incluso se ha recomendado para su aplicación en heridas o quemaduras superficiales de tipo cutáneas.Debido a lo anterior, se ha promovido el uso del AG como un importante biomaterial que puede ser utilizado en la fabricación de recubrimientos para heridas (RH). Sin embargo, su aplicación directa sobre las heridas presenta desventajas, ya que puede inducir a deshidratación en la zona, rápida oxidación de sus fitoconstituyentes y baja proporción de solutos. Una estrategia que puede ayudar a conservar su actividad biológica y a sus componentes inalterados y funcionales, es su incorporación hacia matrices de polisacáridos como el alginato, pectina y quitosano. Aunque existen ya algunos biomateriales de esta mezcla que se han propuestos como RH, su aplicación en modelos in vivo es aún limitado. Por lo anterior, la presente revisión pretende documentar el desarrollo de RH con AG incorporado en polisacáridos y sus efectos en la recuperación de heridas in vivo.
Means of Implicitness in Russian Political Weblogs
Authors: Vidineeva Natalya Yu.
Published: December 2020

The study concerns genre characteristics of weblogs as well as the analysis of linguistic means of implicitness in political weblogs. The ongoing communication media development challenges researches with the investigation of its features. From the linguistic standpoint, the genre approach to media studies seems to be the most relevant. We assume that pragmatic genre studies meet the needs of weblogs investigation in the best possible way. This is due to taking into consideration the genre interlocutory nature and the factors of the speaker and the recipient. A weblog is a hybrid genre originating from personal diaries. We argue that weblogs can be considered a hypergenre which combines a weblog entry and commentaries to it. The theory of linguistic means of implicitness is developed by a number of researches. We aim at investigating the means of implicitness which bloggers tend to use. The relevance of implicit meaning studies lies in the lack of consensus on the nature of implicitness. Moreover, we consider it relevant to develop types of linguistic tools that implement implicit meanings. One more pressing research task is the description of linguistic means of implicitness typical of the Internet genres, specifically of the weblog genre. The study was conducted using qualitative general scientific and linguistic methods. The results show that Russian-speaking bloggers tend to use connotative words, idioms and allusions to implicate a negative assessment of political figures and events.

Aims:Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common condition affected by many
factors. We aimed to show the impact of the metabolic syndrome (MeTS) on
male sexual function based on VAI and the impact of increased levels of
the VAI was investigated in patients with ED among the patients with and
without MeTS. Methods:Participants who met MeTS criteria (Group 1, n=96)
and without MeTS (Group 2, n=189) were included in this cross-sectional
study. The MeTS diagnosis was made in the presence of at least three of
the following criteria: serum glucose level higher than 100 mg/dl, HDL
cholesterol level below 40 mg/dl, triglyceride level greater than 150
mg/dl, waist circumference greater than 102 cm and blood pressure
greater than 130/85 mmHg. Demographic data were recorded; biochemical
and hormonal tests were measured. Erectile and other sexual function
scores were recorded. The VAI was calculated using the
[(WC/39.68)+(1.88xMI)]xTG/1.03x1.31/HDL formula. Results:Mean age,
smoking volume, T and T/E2 ratios of the groups were similar
(p>0.05). Mean VAI was two-fold higher in patients in Group
1 (p<0.001) and erectile function score was lower in Group 1
than Group 2 (p=0.001). Other sexual function scores were similar
(p>0.05). The METS was associated with an increased risk of
ED (p=0.001). Logistic regression analysis showed that each integer
increase of the VAI was associated with a 1.4-fold increased risk of ED
(p<0.001). Higher T values were associated with a better
erectile function (p=0.03). For the VAI=4.33, receiver-operating
characteristic analysis showed a sensitivity of 89.6 % and specificity
of 57.7 %. Conclusion:Compared to non-MeTS, the presence of MeTS has
emerged as a risk factor for patients with ED with high VAI levels while
the other sexual functions are preserved. Management of ED patients with
MeTS should cover a comprehensive metabolic and endocrinological
evaluation in addition to andrological work up.

Objective: Our study aimed to the efficacy of silodosin in patients with
LUTS associated with BPH who were not-responder to previous ARs blocker
therapy. Methods: Patients who did not benefit from alpha blockers
treatment, but did not want surgical treatment are included in this
study. At enrollment, 75 patients and 75 patients were assigned to group
1 and group 2, respectively. Group 1 received silodosin 8 mg, group 2
received their previous α blocker. Results: Although, in group 1 mean
IPSS score at baseline was 20,81±0,97, and it significantly decreased to
17,12±1,25 at third months, in group 2 no significant changes were
observed. On the other hand in group 1 a decrease was also observed for
both IPSS sub score was significantly reduced at third months, when it
is compared with baseline. At the end of the third month, a significant
improvement in this parameter was observed after switching to silodosin,
as compared with first value (p< 0,05). As to the residual
urine, significant improvement was observed in the silodosin group but
no significant improvement was observed in group 2. Conclusion: This
study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness and safety of
silodosin in patients with BPH who had not achieved satisfactory symptom
control with other α blockers in routine clinical practice before
surgical treatment. Thus, at least patients who have different
comorbidities will be protected from morbidities of surgery.
