Authors: - Uma Namasudra , - Biplab De , - Debabrata Bhaumik
Published: February 2024

The very young edible shoot of bamboo- Melocanna baccifera is widely used as a raw food ingredient for several dishes of Tripura Tribes. In Kokborok (Tribal language - the 3rd Official Language of the state-Tripura, India), it is known as Muia. It’s soft part is used almost daily & vigorously by the Tribal people, allowing it as one of the major ingredient of almost all curry. There is very little scientific analysis regarding the biological activities of different food items of Tribal people of Tripura. Few therapeutic activities of this young edible shoot and it’s different part were performed based on the availability of facilities of laboratories but the quantitative estimation of this edible shoot was not carried out. Therefore, it is pertinent to study quantitative estimation of food value of edible young shoot. Methanolic shoot extract of bamboo-Melocanna baccifera (MEMB) has transpired the presence of several components like, protein, carbohydrate, minerals like sodium, chloride, phosphate, calcium potassium, alkaloids, fixed oil along with few bioactive constituents like flavonoids, triterpinoids, glycosides. MEMB was able to show some pharmacological activities like analgesic activity, anti-diabetic activity & hepatoprotective activity along with antimicrobial activity. So, the shoot of Melocanna baccifera is protective as well as nutritious food for Tribal people of Tripura, India. That’s why, nowadays, a section of non-Tribal people of Tripura also used to consume the said food ingredient in several dishes.

Har Sociologisk Forskning något att säga om klimatkrisen?
Authors: Rabe Linn
Published: February 2024

Denna artikel engagerar sig i den pågående akademiska diskussionen kring sociologins roll i att utveckla kunskap om klimatförändringar, genom att utforska det vetenskapliga samtalet om klimatförändringar i tidskriften Sociologisk Forskning. En systematisk översikt av alla artiklar som publicerades mellan 2012 och 2022 identifierar 15 texter som berör klimatförändringar i Sociologisk Forskning. Hälften använder klimatförändringar som illustrativa exempel, medan den andra hälften främst fokuserar på empirisk tillämpning av sociologiska teorier inom de komplexa verkligheter som klimatförändringarna bidrar till. Det förefaller dock som att publikationerna i Sociologisk Forskning kanske inte helt representerar den svenska forskningen om klimatförändringar och aktualiserar där med förhållandet mellan allmänsociologi och underdisciplinen miljösociologi. Denna översikt av publikationer i Sociologisk Forskning ger en kontextuell bakgrund för det särskilda numret "Klimatkris" och för den vetenskapliga dialogen kring klimatförändringar inom sociologin. Avsikten är att belysa argument för och stödja ytterligare diskussion om hur sociologin meningsfullt kan bidra till förståelsen av denna komplexa globala utmaning.

Мета роботи. Провести систематизацію наукових доказів ефективності застосування різних лікувальних засобів при герпесвірусних інфекціях людини в клінічній практиці. Матеріали та методи. Представлені рекомендації є оновленням відповідного документу 2012 року щодо лікування герпесвірусних інфекцій з врахуванням нових наукових доказів, накопичених протягом останнього десятиліття і опублікованих у рецензованих періодичних медичних  виданнях, що втдозмінюють підходи до лікування герпесвірусних інфекцій. Здійснено аналітичний огляд наукових публікацій, присвячених вивченню класифікації, клінічних проявів та різних аналогів нуклеозидів, аденіну арабінозиду, артесунату та імунотерапевтичних інтервенцій для лікування або профілактики герпесвірусних інфекцій. Результати і обговорення. Приймаючи до уваги пантропізм герпесвірусних збудників і здатність до індукції мультиорганних уражень із залученням різних патогенетичних шляхів, медичні фахівці всіх спеціальностей повинні бути належним чином поінформовані з проблеми герпесвірусних інфекцій та, відповідно, вміти своєчасно виявляти, лікувати та попереджати різні форми герпетичних інфекцій. На відміну від збудників ГРВІ і багатьох інших вірусних агентів, здатних інфікувати Homo sapiens, герпесвіруси мають складну адаптивну програму паразитування в організмі людини, що передбачає тонке реципрокне маневрування збудника під час реалізації репродуктивного потенціалу у відповідь на тиск з боку імунного нагляду організму хазяїна з метою ухилення від імунної відповіді. Основу сучасної противірусної терапії при герпесвірусних інфекціях складають ациклічні аналоги нуклеозидів як специфічні віростатичні протигерпетичні хіміопрепарати, основнимй механізм дії яких полягає у вибірковій блокаді елонгації вірусної ДНК під час реплікації (табл. 2). Ацикловір ефективний здебільшого при інфекціях, викликаних альфагерпесвірусами, однак не бета- і гамма-герпесвірусами, коли використовують переважно ганцикловір, фоскарнет та цидофовір. Розрізняють епізодичну і супресивну терапію герпесвірусних інфекцій противірусними хіміопрепаратами. Епізодичну терапію призначається у разі первинної інфекції та при поодиноких важких епізодах реактивації латентного або персистуючого герпесвірусу в гостру фазу патологічного процесу. Супресивна терапія може включати індукційну і підтримувальну фазу або складатися тільки з підтримувальної фази залежно від важкості інфекційного ураження. Рекомендації, засновані на наукових доказах, створенні для регламентування, стратифікації та оптимізації надання медичної допомоги пацієнтам з герпесвірусною інфекцією. Висновки. Розглянута доказова база різних аналогів нуклеозидів, аденіну арабінозиду, артесунату та різноманітних імунотерапевтичних інтервенцій, призначених з метою лікування або профілактики герпесвірусних інфекцій. Підкреслено мультидисциплінарність та персонірусними ураженнями. Дані рекомендації будуть корисними для лікарів різних спеціальностей з огляду на безпрецедентний пантропізм герпесвірусних агентів людини.

Authors: Sahin Damla Arslantunali , Son Cagdas Devrim , Hasirci Vasif
Published: February 2024

Aim: Small defects after any injury to the periperal nerves results in self-regeneration. However, for larger defects, suturing or grafting are necessary, which may have limitations. Thus, research on nerve guidence conduits is needed without drawbacks. The aim of the study was to develop hydrogel-based conduits containing interpenetrating network (IPN).
Methods: Methacrylated gelatin (GelMA)-methacrylated hyaluronic acid (HaMA) IPN was filled the poly(2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate) (pHEMA) the outer conduit. Schwann cells (SCs) were used on the pHEMA and the distal end of the tube was injected with netrin-1 to support model SH-SY5Y cells.
Results: 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) showed that methacrylation degrees were 94% ± 2% for GelMA and 60% ± 7% for HaMA. The fraction of HaMA increased the degradation rate; pure HaMA degraded in 3 weeks, while pure GelMA in more than 5 weeks. An increase in the fraction of 2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate (HEMA) from 20% to 56% decreased the porosity and the pore size, significantly. SH-SY5Y cells migrated along the conduit in the presence of netrin-1. NeuN expression was increased in 2 weeks indicating neuronal activity.
Conclusions: SH-SY5Y cells produced neurites in the IPN. pHEMA conduit including GelMA-HaMA IPN is a good candidate for peripheral nerve regeneration applications. As future studies, the conduit will be tested in vivo for nerve regeneration.
Cuban policosanol: a natural compound for ischemic stroke treatment
Authors: Molina Cuevas Vivian , Oyarzábal Yera Ambar
Published: February 2024

Stroke is among the leading causes of mortality and disability; therefore, it constitutes a relevant health problem. Cuban policosanol presents lipid-lowering, antiplatelet, antioxidant and vascular endothelium protective properties, all of which give it a comprehensive anti-atherosclerotic effect. This review is aimed to show, analyze and discuss the main preclinical and clinical evidence of the effects of Cuban policosanol on ischemic stroke. Preclinical studies evidenced the anti-ischemic effects of preventive and therapeutic oral treatment with Cuban policosanol in Mongolian gerbils with cerebral ischemia induced by unilateral and permanent ligation of a carotid artery, and in global cerebral ischemia induced by bilateral clamping and recirculation of both carotids; being similar or superior to other anti-ischemic agents. Also, combination therapy with aspirin produced greater anti-stroke efficacy compared with aspirin monotherapy, but being similar to policosanol plus atorvastatin combination. This anti-stroke effect was associated to a serum thromboxane A2 (TxA2) concentrations reduction and prostacyclin (PgI2) increase, leading to a favorable TxA2/PgI2 balance, and also to the malondialdehyde (MDA) and sulfhydryl groups (SHG, lipid peroxidation and protein oxidation markers, respectively) reduction. Cuban policosanol combined with aspirin (standard therapy) improved and benefited patients with prior ischemic stroke in terms of functional and neurological outcomes, in open-label studies and in randomized, double-blind, controlled studies. These beneficial effects on stroke patients were associated with antioxidant and antiplatelet effects of policosanol. Also, the combinations of Cuban policosanol plus aspirin and atorvastatin plus aspirin compared in a clinical study significantly and similarly improved the neurological recovery of patients with ischemic stroke. Cuban policosanol was safe and well tolerated, with no serious adverse events occurring during the trials. In conclusion, Cuban policosanol is a safe and effective natural drug for ischemic stroke treatment, which is supported by preclinical and clinical evidences.
Estimation-free Prediction Algorithms
Authors: Assimakis Nicholas , Adam Maria , Tsinos Christos , Polyzos Athanasios
Published: February 2024

For Time-varying, Time-invariant, and steady-state systems, Kalman Filter can be implemented as a prediction algorithm, since it produces the state prediction and the corresponding prediction error covariance matrix via the state estimation and the corresponding estimation error covariance matrix. Lainiotis Filter is equivalent to Kalman Filter and can be used to compute the prediction. In this paper, for Time-varying, Time-invariant and steady state systems, estimation-free Prediction Algorithms are derived via Kalman and Lainiotis filters; they are equivalent and compute iteratively the prediction and the corresponding prediction error covariance matrix. The estimation and the corresponding estimation error covariance matrix are not needed and are not computed. The proposed estimation-free prediction algorithms are faster than the Kalman filter.
Metadherin promotes stem cell phenotypes and correlated with immune infiltration in hepatocellular carcinoma
Authors: Wang Yi-Ying , Shen Mei-Mei , Gao Jian
Published: February 2024

BACKGROUND

Metadherin (MTDH ) is a key oncogene in most cancer types, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Notably, MTDH does not affect the stemness pheno-type or immune infiltration of HCC.

AIM

To explore the role of MTDH on stemness and immune infiltration in HCC.

METHODS

MTDH expression in HCC tissues was detected using TCGA and GEO databases. Immunohistochemistry was used to analyze the tissue samples. MTDH was stably knocked down or overexpressed by lentiviral transfection in the two HCC cell lines. The invasion and migration abilities of HCC cells were evaluated using Matrigel invasion and wound healing assays. Next, we obtained liver cancer stem cells from the spheroids by culturing them in a serum-free medium. Gene expression was determined by western blotting and quantitative reverse tran-scription PCR. Flow cytometry, immunofluorescence, and tumor sphere formation assays were used to characterize stem-like cells. The effects of MTDH inhibition on tumor growth were evaluated in vivo . The correlation of MTDH with immune cells, immunomodulators, and chemokines was analyzed using ssGSEA and TISIDB databases.

RESULTS

HCC tissues expressed higher levels of MTDH than normal liver tissues. High MTDH expression was associated with a poor prognosis. HCC cells overexpressing MTDH exhibited stronger invasion and migration abilities, exhibited a stem cell-like phenotype, and formed spheres; however, MTDH inhibition attenuated these effects. MTDH inhibition suppressed HCC progression and CD133 expression in vivo . MTDH was positively correlated with immature dendritic, T helper 2 cells, central memory CD8+ T, memory B, activated dendritic, natural killer (NK) T, NK, activated CD4+ T, and central memory CD4+ T cells. MTDH was negatively correlated with activated CD8+ T cells, eosinophils, activated B cells, monocytes, macrophages, and mast cells. A positive correlation was observed between the MTDH level and CXCL2 expression, whereas a negative correlation was observed between the MTDH level and CX3CL1 and CXCL12 expression.

CONCLUSION

High levels of MTDH expression in patients with HCC are associated with poor prognosis, promoting tumor stemness, immune infiltration, and HCC progression.
Practice effects on dual-task order coordination and its sequential adjustment
Authors: Strobach Tilo
Published: February 2024

When the performance of two tasks overlaps in time, performance impairments in one or both tasks are common. Various theoretical explanations for how component tasks are controlled in dual-task situations have been advanced. However, less attention has been paid to the issue of how two temporally overlapping tasks are appropriately coordinated in terms of their order. The current study focuses on two specific aspects of this task-order coordination: (1) the potential effects of practice on task-order coordination performance and (2) its relationships with cognitive meta-control mechanisms that adjust this coordination. These aspects were investigated in a visual-auditory dual-task combination with randomly changing task orders across trials after four sessions of dual-task practice (N = 24) and single-task practice (N = 24). The results demonstrated that task-order coordination improves during dual-task practice, and in contrast to the effects of single-task practice. Practice, on the other hand, did not show substantial evidence of an effect on the adjustment of task-order coordination. This practice-related dissociation is consistent with the assumption that (1) task-order coordination and (2) its sequential adjustment are separable sets of processes.

Dedications of the holy tables of the parish churches of the Kola deanery in the first half of the XIX century
Authors:   Barents Centre of the Humanities of the Kola Science Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Kozhevnikova Yulia N.
Published: February 2024

The article deals with the previously unexplored issue of the consecration of the holy tables of the parish churches of the Kola deanery in the first half of the XIX century. The research is based on the data of the statements compiled for the Arkhangelsk Ecclesiastical Consistory in 1844 and preserved in the National Archive of the Republic of Karelia. For the first time, the number of main and additional holy tables in the churches of the deanery district is determined and the features of the existing spectrum of church names are revealed. It turns out that the system of patronal dedications of the existing temples was formed at the end of the XIV–XVII centuries under the influence of the monastic culture of the region and was characterized by stability. In the deanery there were developed traditions of veneration of popular saints of the Ancient Church.
Men’s gymnasium named after Emperor Alexander III in the school system of the Baku province
Authors:   Faculty of Asian and African studies of St. Petersburg State University, Besherov Pena
Published: February 2024

After the annexation of the Azerbaijani lands to the Russian Empire, the Russian-speaking population gradually began to move to these territories of Transcaucasia, as a result of which there was a need to create educational institutions for immigrants. There was no state-owned men's gymnasium in Baku, but a private gymnasium was opened, established on the initiative of citizens. Subsequently, its status was upgraded to a classical men's gymnasium, the history of which is devoted to this work. The article for the first time examines the ethnic, class, confessional composition, and academic performance of students. The list of subjects taught the financial condition of the educational institution and the costs of maintaining the teaching staff and conducting classes were also in the field of view. Additionally, the impact of the revolutionary events of 1905 on the organization of the educational activities of the men's gymnasium in the Baku province was assessed.

INTRODUCTION. Subacromial impingement syndrome (SAIS) is one of the most common reasons that makes patients seek treatment for shoulder pain.
PURPOSE. To assess the effectiveness of surgical and conservative treatment of patients with subacromial impingement syndrome.
MATERIALS AND METHODS. The clinical results of 48 patients with SAIS stage 1, 2 according to Neer, divided into 3 groups, were analyzed: 1) conservative group without rotator cuff tears (16 patients), 2) conservative group with partial rotator cuff tears (16 patients); 3) surgical group (16 patients). The patients of the conservative groups were treated according to the rehabilitation protocol including myofascial release techniques, physiotherapy, manual therapy, exercises. The patients of the surgical group underwent an arthroscopic subacromial decompression. The follow-up period was at least 24 months. The clinical condition of the patients was assessed using ASES, VAS scales and SANE questionnaire.
RESULTS. The study did not reveal a statistically significant difference of the surgical and conservative treatment groups according to VAS and ASES. There was a statistically significant difference in the results of the SANE questionnaire (p = 0.008) with better results in the conservative groups. Longer rehabilitation was noted in patients of the surgical group.
DISCUSSION. Ketola et al. compared clinical results of surgical group of patients who underwent the subacromial decompression and the conservative group who performed the exercises. There was no statistically significant difference found in VAS level results, subjective shoulder function assessment. Paavola et al. have not found statistically significant difference in VAS scale results between surgical group, group of diagnostic arthroscopy and conservative group of patients with rotator cuff tendinopathy.
CONCLUSION. The conservative treatment of subacromial impingement syndrome with physiotherapy and manual therapy let achieve good and excellent results.

Noise refers to unwanted sound that causes great discomfort to the ears and is usually measured in decibels. Very high levels of sound above 100 dB cause permanent hearing loss. This study deals with the effect of noise in the academic areas of the University of Kufa, Kufa River Campus (Faculty of Urban Planning, Faculty of Law, Faculty of Archeology). Kufa River campus area is exposed to several types of external noise. Noise field data has been measured and collected for 98 station points. The noise intensity ratio was measured using the Sound Level Meter at three different times during the working hours: in the morning (8.30–10.30), at noon (10.30–12.30), and in the afternoon (12.30–2.30). The data were analyzed using the Excel program (percentile method) to obtain noise level values at 10%, 50%, and 90% of the data after arranging them ascendingly. The equivalent noise level (Leq) is calculated as well. The equivalent noise level data is converted to a GIS program for mapping and studying the spatial variation of noise intensity using the Spline interpolation method. The results showed that the effect of external noise is much greater than the effect of internal noise. The highest noise intensity at the points near the fence reached 94 decibels, the lowest noise ratio was in the center of the faculty of physical planning, and the points near the green trees reached 45.1 db.
Clinical Features, Diagnosis and Treatment of amyloidosis: A Review
Authors: Al-Ameen Safaa , Mohammed Rafad
Published: February 2024

The name Amyloid is derived from the word "Oid", which means semi-starch, which is a protein that transforms into the shape or amyloid state when a distortion or a change occurs in its secondary structure as it becomes insoluble, shaped, and assembled as beta folded sheets. The structure of the amyloid protein can be seen by the electronic microscope as a group of non-branched fibers, with unspecified lengths and cross-sections between (7.5–10) nanometers. Also, the distinguished structure (the folded beta sheets) is clearly seen, and this structure is responsible for the unique pigmentation that is shown by the amyloid proteins with the Congo red stain.
Detecting Anomalous Images in Astronomical Datasets
Authors: Alonso Pedro , Zhang Jun , Li Xiao-Dong
Published: February 2024

Environmental and instrumental conditions can cause anomalies in astronomical images, which can potentially bias all kinds of measurements if not excluded. Detection of the anomalous images is usually done by human eyes, which is slow and sometimes not accurate. This is an important issue in weak lensing studies, particularly in the era of large-scale galaxy surveys, in which image qualities are crucial for the success of galaxy shape measurements. In this work we present two automatic methods for detecting anomalous images in astronomical data sets. The anomalous features can be divided into two types: one is associated with the source images, and the other appears on the background. Our first method, called the entropy method, utilizes the randomness of the orientation distribution of the source shapes and the background gradients to quantify the likelihood of an exposure being anomalous. Our second method involves training a neural network (autoencoder) to detect anomalies. We evaluate the effectiveness of the entropy method on the Canada–France–Hawaii Telescope Lensing Survey (CFHTLenS) and Dark Energy Camera Legacy Survey (DECaLS DR3) data. In CFHTLenS, with 1171 exposures, the entropy method outperforms human inspection by detecting 12 of the 13 anomalous exposures found during human inspection and uncovering 10 new ones. In DECaLS DR3, with 17112 exposures, the entropy method detects a significant number of anomalous exposures while keeping a low false-positive rate. We find that although the neural network performs relatively well in detecting source anomalies, its current performance is not as good as the entropy method.
He-rich Hot Subdwarf Stars Observed in Gaia DR3 and LAMOST DR7: Carbon and Nitrogen Abundances and Kinematics

Published: February 2024

We conducted an analysis of the abundances of He, C, and N in 210 He-rich hot subdwarfs observed within both the Gaia Data Release 3 (DR3) and LAMOST DR7 data sets. This analysis involved fitting the LAMOST spectra with Tlusty/Synspec non-LTE synthetic spectra. By examining the Galactic spatial positions, velocity vectors, and orbital parameters of these stars, we determined their Galactic population memberships utilizing LAMOST radial velocities and Gaia DR3 parallaxes along with proper motions. Our investigation revealed two positive correlations of C and one positive correlation of N with respect to the He abundance. We found a clear C abundance dichotomy where approximately 82% of the stars show N enrichment above the solar value. Moreover, we observed a bimodal distribution of C abundances, prominently evident in both the Galactic thin and thick disks but absent in the halo population. Furthermore, we found that the scenario of the merger channel of double helium white dwarfs is inadequate to explain the formation of C-deficient He-rich hot subdwarfs.
Discovery of Magnetically Guided Metal Accretion onto a Polluted White Dwarf

Published: February 2024

Dynamically active planetary systems orbit a significant fraction of white dwarf stars. These stars often exhibit surface metals accreted from debris disks, which are detected through infrared excess or transiting structures. However, the full journey of a planetesimal from star-grazing orbit to final dissolution in the host star is poorly understood. Here, we report the discovery that the cool metal-polluted star WD 0816–310 has cannibalized heavy elements from a planetary body similar in size to Vesta, and where accretion and horizontal mixing processes have clearly been controlled by the stellar magnetic field. Our observations unveil periodic and synchronized variations in metal line strength and magnetic field intensity, implying a correlation between the local surface density of metals and the magnetic field structure. Specifically, the data point to a likely persistent concentration of metals near a magnetic pole. These findings demonstrate that magnetic fields may play a fundamental role in the final stages of exoplanetary bodies that are recycled into their white dwarf hosts.

Research data show that in the last 50 years (1938-1991) there has been a trend of decreasing sperm concentration in the male population in Europe by 2.3% and in the USA by 0.8%. The reasons for such negative trend are not known, but it is assumed that lifestyle and environmental factors have an influence on genetic factors. Aim of this study was to evaluate sperm quality in young, healthy men in our country, and to compare sperm quality in our population with others in the world. Material and methods: Ejaculates from 203 healthy male subjects, aged 18-32, were stored in a thermostat at 36⁰C and analyzed manually on a native slide and hematoxylin-eosin-stained slides, under a phase contrast microscope. Sperm motility was assessed at two-time intervals, group A, 60 minutes after ejaculation and group B, 120 minutes after ejaculation, while sperm concentration and sperm morphology were assessed at one time interval. Results: Semen analysis showed an average volume of ejaculate 3.45 ± 1.5 ml, sperm concentration in 1 milliliter62.4 ± 39.2 x10(6) /ml, while total sperm concentration was 211.2 ± 173.2 x10(6). In group A, values for progressive spermatozoa were 48.6 ± 18.1 x10(6) /ml and in group B, values for progressive spermatozoa were 47.9 ± 17.3 x10(6) /ml. There was no statistically significant difference between the two time intervals (group A and group B) when interpreting sperm motility, p>0.005. Analysis of morphology of spermatozoa showed a mean value of 6.9% for morphologically normal spermatozoa. Conclusion: The quality of ejaculate in young men in North Macedonia is in the range of reference values according to WHO, and also our results are similar to those from Germany, Turkey, Bulgaria, Faroe Islands.

Tooth eruption is а continuous process by which developing teeth move through the soft tissue, oral epithelium, jaw bones and overlying mucosa, to emerge in the oral cavity, contact the teeth of the opposing dental arch, and enable teeth functional position in mastication. Abnormal tissue interactions during tooth development may be potentially revealed as ectopic tooth development, ectopic eruption or tooth impaction. In human dentition, permanent tooth impaction is relatively common. Impaction of the first permanent molar is an uncommon condition and few cases are reported in the literature. It is essential to diagnose and treat the impacted permanent molars as early as possible because treatment at a later stage is usually more complicated due to the tendency of malocclusion to increase with time. We report a case with impaction of the maxillary first permanent molar and impaction of all, maxillary and mandibular permanent second molars. This condition compromise masticatory function. Unilateral mastication also compromises the function of temporomandibular joint. The aim of this case-report was to present orthodontic treatment with Schwartz removable appliance in a patient with maxillary left-side impaction of the second premolar, first molar and second molar. The goal of the first phase was positioning the maxillary first molar into the dental arch with good bone and periodontal support. The surgical intervention, operculectomy, was done and the orthodontic treatment started by traction of the first molar with elastic ligature attached from the bonded bracket to the mobile appliance. One month later the tooth movement was obvious.
Characteristics of the job demands of healthcare workers in different segments of the healthcare sector
Authors: Bachanovikj Marina
Published: February 2024

Healthcare workers are exposed to various demands at their workplace (physical, psychological, social or organizational aspects of work) that impose constant physical and/or psychological effort on a worker. The aim of this study was to determine the characteristics of the job demands of healthcare workers in different segments of the health sector in RNM, categorized into three groups: healthcare workers in hospital activity, healthcare workers in outpatient activity and technical support and administrative staff. Material and methods: This is a cross-sectional descriptive-analytical study, in which 418 employees participate, classified into three groups according to their work tasks in health institutions: healthcare workers in hospital activity, healthcare workers in outpatient activity and technical support and administrative staff. The statistical analysis has been done in statistical programs: STATISTICA 12.0; IBM SPSS Statistics 20.0, and the processed data are presented in tabular forms. Results: The difference among the three groups of respondents in terms of the following demographic characteristics and job characteristics: gender, marital status, type of employment contract, total years of service, length of service at the current workplace and number of working hours per week, is insignificant, i.e. the three groups of respondents are homogeneous on these issues. The average value of the physical job demands at the level of the entire analyzed sample is significantly higher compared to the average values of all other job demands. The most common job demands for each of the groups (physical, organizational, emotional and cognitive job demands) have been determined, and a comparison has been made among the three groups of respondents regarding the most significant job demands. Conclusions: The difference registered in the physical job demands in relation to the three groups of respondents is statistically significant. Healthcare workers in hospital activity, compared to the technical support and administrative staff and the healthcare workers in outpatient activity, are more exposed to the different types of job demands. The higher average values of the physical job demands among respondents employed in hospital activity and outpatient activity in relation to technical support and administrative staff are also highlighted.

Published: February 2024

Vitiligo is an acquired depigmentation deficit with a high prevalence, ranging from 0.5% to 7.8%. The aim of the study was to measure the quality of life (QL) of patients with vitiligo, expressed through the Dermatological Quality of Life Index (DLQI). Materials and methods: This cross-sectional study was realized in a period of 1 year. Two questionnaires were used in the study. Тhe first questionnaire contains data from the DLQI, designed for use in adults over 16 years of age, taken from the Cardiff University in the UK. The second questionnaire contains demographic and clinical characteristics of patients (age, gender, place of residence, marital status, education), activity, comorbid diseases and BMI, age at onset, site of onset of lesions, duration of disease, family history, type, activity, natural course, body mass index (BMI) and therapy. Results: Among 71 subjects included in the study, the total score of the DLQI ranged from 0 to 28 (from a maximum of 30 points), and the average was 11.70 ± 5.7. Female patients had greater QL impairment (total mean value of 8.03) than men (5.99); there was a statistically significant difference between  both sexes (P = 0.019). The total score of QL in terms of symptoms related to the condition in the six domains strongly affected QL of 45.1% of patients. The QL was significantly worse in the studied group of 16-30 years (13.85 ± 5.3) compared to the population of 51-60 and over 60 years (6.75 ± 5.7, and 7.0 ± 2.3). As the age of patients advanced, the QL improved. Subjects with higher education had a higher score (14.41 ± 6.6; p=0.001). Conclusion: Female patients with vitiligo have impaired QL in comparison to male. With age, the QL in patients with vitiligo improves. Patients with a lower degree of education have a better QL
