Cinema as a Means of Forming Attitudes Towards Health
Authors:   Saratov State Medical University, Grishechkina Natalya , Ustjantsev Vladimir ,   Saratov State University
Published: December 2024

The article analyzes the theoretical and methodological grounds for the effectiveness of film content in changing socially significant human behavior in relation to health and to the problems of the healthcare system in general. Based on specific examples, the possibilities of the entertainment masses of the media and the film industry in solving public health problems are demonstrated. The main directions of the effective use of cinema in the field of public health are considered with the aim of changing social behavior as well as determining specific social actions in relation to health. The place and role of cinema as an integral part of the content of public health programs in history and modernity is explored. The inclusion of cinema, as well as other social media, in the arsenal of instruments of influence on public health is considered in a broader aspect as a consequence of the emerging gap and contradiction between science and society, theory and practice, knowledge, and social ideas about health. The range of public health problems is determined, for the solution of which the use of film content is considered effective: prevention and treatment of socially significant diseases, birth control, and treatment of addictions. The main theoretical and methodological approaches in the use of film content as a tool for changing behavior models and attitudes towards their health are described. The entertainment education approach developed on the basis of the theory of social learning is used as the main methodological tool. The analysis of specific television series developed on the basis of this methodology makes it possible to identify new directions in solving public health problems, in particular the sociocultural features of health attitude models. Prospects for the development of the studied methodology in the modern expanding space of entertainment media masses are outlined.

The article is devoted to energy index modeling of vegetation phenology. Based on the dual sigmoidal model representation of the phenological cycle, an energy-index approach to phasing the stages of vegetation development and deactivation is proposed. The optimal laws for changing the amplitude of the model in the phases of development and decontamination have been determined, at which the energy released by vegetation into the environment can reach a maximum. The relationship between the LAI index and the phenological state of vegetation has been investigated. The study of the relationship of LAI with another phenological indicator of vegetation, in particular the prognostic phenological state of vegetation P. It is shown that despite the inverse logarithmic relationship between LAI and FPAR, and also due to the direct dependence of P and FPAR, averaged over all possible values of fv, the value of P increases in the presence of a direct relationship between LAI and fv.

Influential factors on accidental fall prevention behaviors of long-term care hospital nurses : A descriptive study
Authors: An Da Mi , Yang Jinhyang
Published: December 2024

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the influential factors of nursing home nurses that impact fall-prevention behaviors, thereby providing basic data to prepare effective measures that can increase nurses’ fall-prevention behaviors. Method: The participants were 136 nurses from 4 long-term care hospitals with more than 200 beds. The relevant data were collected from August 2 to August 31, 2021, and analyzed using independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's Correlation Coefficient, and Multiple Regression. Result: The factors that had a significant impact on the fall prevention behaviors of participants included not only the perception of patient safety culture (β=.18, p=.039) and the age (β=.21, p=.046) but also the perceived seriousness (β=.22 p=.012), the perceived barrier (β=-.17, p=.044), and the motivation of action (β=.18, p=.028), which are the sub-domains of fall-prevention behavior health beliefs. The regression model was revealed to be significant, and the total explanatory power of the variables for fall-prevention behaviors was 44.5% (p<.001). Conclusion: The influential factors on fall prevention behaviors of long-term care hospital nurses included perception of patient safety culture, fall-prevention behavior health beliefs, and age. This study has significance in that the results helped identify the influential factors on nursing home nurses’ fall-prevention behaviors, thereby providing fundamental data for effective fall prevention behaviors.
Happy and resilient? Mental health, resilience, substance use and sexual behaviour of college students in Bhutan: Policy implications
Authors: Sherab Kezang , Howard J , Choden Kezang
Published: December 2024

Bhutan is known for its guiding philosophy of Gross National Happiness (GNH). However, concerns have increased about the well-being of its young people, and many young people are leaving Bhutan, uncertain about their futures if they remain. A survey of 2471 Bhutanese college students in 2016 explored mental health, substance use, and sexual behaviour. The survey was repeated in 2023 with 2043 college students with the addition of the Brief Resilience Scale and questions about optimism and the future. A relatively low prevalence of problematic mental health, substance use, and sexual risk behaviour was identified, but the findings continue to raise concerns. Specific concerns identified related to suicidal ideation, an increase in current alcohol, tobacco and betel nut use, low-level condom use, over 50% not regarding themselves as resilient, and many wanting a future outside Bhutan. Evidence informed policy is required to shape and support responses to the health and well-being concerns identified and to create realistic pathways for young people to feel valued, appreciated and optimistic.
Student Performance in Reading and Literature: A Case of Middle Secondary Schools in Dagana, Bhutan
Authors: Basnet Mon Bdr , Gyeltshen Dr. Tashi , Dr. Yangdon
Published: December 2024

This study aimed to understand the perceptions of teachers and students regarding the performance of Class 10 students in Reading and Literature. Guided by a pragmatic paradigm, the study employed convergent parallel mixed methods. Quantitative data were collected through a survey questionnaire from 305 students of Classes 10 and 11. Qualitative data were collected through focused group discussions and semi-structured interviews with students (n=25) and English teachers (n=7). The study found that students’ poor reading habit is a challenge in scoring good marks in Reading and Literature. Similarly, students’ limited exposure to Literature is a challenge for them in responding to competency-based questions and in understanding the literary texts in the question papers. Teachers skipped most of the poems and essays to complete the syllabus, which also affected students’ performance in literature. Poetry is perceived as the most difficult genre, followed by novels, essays, and short stories. Further, teachers and parents are not able to motivate and encourage students to develop reading habits.  Study suggests teachers create adequate avenues for students to read, understand, interpret, and respond to literature in general and poems in particular.
Examining the relationship between motivation levels and academic achievement in mathematics: A quantitative analysis of Kuzhugchen Middle Secondary School
Authors: Kencho  , Shekhar Nath Mishra
Published: December 2024

Performance in mathematics has been declining over the years in Bhutan. There are many studies on motivation and mathematics. However, fewer papers are available in the Bhutanese context. Thus, of the many factors, this study investigated the impact of motivation on the academic performance of the students in the Kuzhugchen Middle Secondary School, Thimphu Dzongkhag (district). Out of 142 students, data were collected from 108 students (54 males and 54 females) selected using a proportionate random sampling. The t-test results revealed that there is a significant difference between academic performance and gender and no significant difference between motivation and gender. We also found a significantly small and positive correlation between the expectancy scale and academic performance, a moderate and negative correlation between the affect scale and academic performance, and no correlation between the value scale and academic performance. The findings of this study call for teachers, parents and other stakeholders to investigate the factors affecting mathematics performance and intervene accordingly. Furthermore, similar studies in other parts of the country, especially in rural areas, are recommended for new insights into motivation and academic performance.
Ranschburg Viktor, a magyar könyvkiadás európai nagykövete
Authors: Simon Melinda
Published: December 2024

A magyarországi könyvkiadás és könyvkereskedelem erős német gyökerei révén a 19. század folyamán és a 20. század első felében rendszeres kapcsolatban állt a német nyelvterület könyves cégeivel és szervezeteivel. A magyar könyves szakmának azonban csupán egyetlen olyan személyisége volt a korszakban, aki nemzetközi szervezetekben vezető tisztséget töltött be: Ranschburg Viktor. A róla szóló megemlékezések szórványos és felületes jellege miatt már igencsak időszerű volt egy egyéniségéhez méltó, alapos életrajz elkészítése. A szerző bemutatja Ranschburg Viktor 1872–1880 közötti gimnáziumi tanulmányi eredményeit, majd 1880–1884 közötti tanulóéveit a majna-frankfurti Joseph Baer & Co. cégnél. Első munkahelye 1884-től a Révai Testvérek könyvkiadó, majd 1885-től Révai Leó antikváriuma volt, majd 1891-től Magyarország egyik legnagyobb kiadójánál, az Athenaeumnál lett a kiadói osztály vezetője, ahol látványos gazdasági sikereket ért el. 1901-ben cégvezető, 1902-ben igazgató, 1903-ban ügyvezető igazgató lett. A szakmai közéletben is szép pályát futott be: a Magyar Könyvkereskedők Egyletében 1892–1900 között titkár, 1900–1906 között főtitkár, 1906–1919 között elnökhelyettes volt. Feleségétől három gyermeke született és számos gazdasági érdekeltségéből származó bevételéből jómódban éltek. A szabadkőműves mozgalomnak 1900-tól kezdődően volt igen aktív tagja. A tanulmány részletesen bemutatja és elemzi a Ranschburg Viktor által írt tanulmányokat és könyveket is. 1900-tól kezdődően vált rendkívül aktívvá nemzetközi porondon is. Ő képviselte a magyar szakmát a könyvkiadók nemzetközi kongresszusain (Lipcse 1901, Milánó 1906, Madrid 1908, Amszterdam 1910) és aktívan küzdött Magyarország csatlakozásáért a berni szerzői jogi egyezményhez. Külföldi szakmai elismertségének legkomolyabb eredménye az volt, hogy a könyvkiadók 13. nemzetközi kongresszusát – az ő meghívására – Budapesten tartották 1913-ban. Tevékenysége legmagasabb elismeréseként 1913–1921 között ő volt a szervezet megválasztott elnöke. Számos okból 1919-ben megvált az Athenaeumtól és lemondott a Magyar Könyvkereskedők Egyletében betöltött vezető funkciójáról is. (A könyvkiadók nemzetközi kongresszusa elnökségéről 1921-ben köszönt le, hogy személye ne gátolja az újrakezdést.) De nem vonult vissza: 1920-ban új, rendkívül modern palettájú könyvkiadót alapított Pantheon néven, amelyet két év alatt nyereségessé tett. Óriási energiával dolgozott továbbra is, de fizikuma már nem bírta a megterhelést. Súlyos szívbetegsége miatt 1930-ban, 68 évesen hunyt el.
La potencialité de l'archive
Authors: ANTELO Raúl
Published: December 2024

Le terme grec ἀρχή (arkhē) signifie métier, administration, c'est-à-dire fonder, régler ou gouverner quelque chose. Les théories contemporaines de l'archive abordent la déconstruction du sujet, la question de l'authenticité, la relecture de l'ontologie et le singulier-pluriel (Jean-Luc Nancy). Le concept de contre-archivage remet en question ce qui est considéré comme archivable et ce qui a été choisi pour être conservé selon les archives conventionnelles contemporaines.
Hacia el paradigma del archivo de artistas y escritores
Authors: BUGNONE Ana
Published: December 2024

En este capítulo se propone una forma de trabajo e investigación sobre los archivos artísticos y literarios, llamada el paradigma del archivo. Se analizan dos dimensiones: la epistémico-archivística y la poiética. La primera se basa en el abordaje investigativo, interpretativo y archivístico de los archivos de artistas y escritores. La segunda trata del aspecto creativo del archivo, específicamente los usos que de él realizan artistas y escritores en la producción de sus obras. Por otro lado, se analiza el caso particular del archivo del artista Edgardo Antonio Vigo, ubicado en La Plata (Argentina), los procesos de digitalización, accesibilidad y democratización que se vienen realizando en esa institución.
Walter Benjamin ante las postfilologías
Authors: CUARTAS Juan Pablo , ENNIS Juan Antonio
Published: December 2024

Este trabajo se ha propuesto explorar el estado de la cuestión en cuanto a lo que a grandes rasgos podemos llamar un retorno de la filología, que en las últimas dos décadas al menos ha generado un interesante número de discusiones en lo que podríamos llamar preliminarmente el espacio de la teoría, tanto en Europa (Agamben, Didi-Huberman, Hamacher) como en Estados Unidos (Warren, Gumbrecht, Said) y América Latina (Antelo, Link). Desde luego, no se pretende agotar con estas menciones una bibliografía bastante extendida y variopinta. Hay, sin embargo, un rasgo común a casi todxs ellxs, y este es el de la invocación en algún momento –en función de aspectos más o menos decisivos de su rescate o recuperación de la filología como práctica, savoir faire, modo de lectura o ethos del lector especializado, o bien como manera de pensar la superación de los límites discretos entre la lingüística y la crítica, más nítidos en tiempos recientes que antes del “giro lingüístico”– del nombre de Walter Benjamin. Lo curioso, sin embargo, es que en la obra de Benjamin la mención a la filología (al contrario de lo que sucede con muchas otras prácticas, especialidades, disciplinas o teorías) no se da de manera recurrente ni sistemática, no ocupa un lugar a primera vista decisivo o programático. Sin embargo, es claro que la metodología de Benjamin es impensable sin una forma particular de “mirada filológica” que muchos de estos autores se han ocupado de rescatar con mayor o menor detalle según el caso. El trabajo, así, se ocupa de recuperar algunas instancias tanto del trabajo de Benjamin como de la historia de su tradición y transmisión como diálogo crítico en el marco de la discusión contemporánea en torno a los alcances y condición de lo que se da en llamar filología.
Типология способов фальшивомонетничества
Authors: Печегин Денис
Published: December 2024

Согласно отчету Центрального Банка Российской Федерации «Данные о поддельных денежных знаках, выявленных в банковской системе России» в 2023 году количество зафиксированных в банковской системе случаев фальшивомонетничества достигло исторического минимума (с 2011 года) и составило 12 425 поддельных денежных знаков. Вместе с тем такие данные отражают лишь минимальный уровень криминализации фальшивомонетничества, масштабы которого в действительности более впечатляющи, поскольку, по оценкам экспертов, до 75% фактов использования таких знаков по объективным причинам квалифицируется как мошенничество, следовательно, не принимается во внимание в данных статистики надлежащим образом. При этом неоднозначность конструкции статьи 186 Уголовного кодекса Российской Федерации вызывает затруднения в правоприменении. Предмет настоящего исследования составляет толкование отличительных признаков фальшивомонетничества, придаваемое им судебной практикой. Использованы такие методы, как гегелевская диалектика, юридическая герменевтика (правовая экзегеза), типология, а также специальные юридические методы толкования права. Установлен ограничительный характер судебного толкования нормативно закрепленных способов фальшивомонетничества (изготовление, хранение, перевозка в целях сбыта и сбыт), обусловленный, в том числе их недостаточной ясностью; раскрыты проблемы такого толкования. На основе изучения приговоров по уголовным делам о фальшивомонетничестве в России за 2019-2023 годы, и правовой доктрины в статье предложена актуальная типология способов совершения данного преступления по признаку объективной стороны, определены вектор и приоритеты последующих исследований и вероятных законодательных преобразований. Исследование особенностей толкования отличительных признаков фальшивомонетничества, придаваемое им судебной практикой, демонстрирует, что основными способами совершения деяния являются различные, но немногочисленные формы изготовления, хранения, перевозки и сбыта, что в целом связано с особенностями выявления и пресечения преступлений указанной направленности в целом. Показатели типологии способов совершения анализируемого деяния, размещенные на графиках 1 и 2, позволили сделать ряд дополнительных выводов.
“WOMEN ON THE EDGE OF LIFE”. ABOUT HEROINES IN THE CAGE OF ADDICTION IN THE PROSE OF SYLWIA CHUTNIK
Authors:   University of Bialystok, Bialystok, Poland, Piechota Dariusz
Published: December 2024

This article is devoted to the works of Sylwia Chutnik, in which the author addresses the problem of alcoholism. The writer is particularly sensitive to all forms of social exclusion. She carefully observes heroines functioning on the margins, who are experiencing rejection not only from the immediate family but also from the local community, which becomes a painful experience, dooming the woman to homelessness and loneliness. In their characterization, the author deepens the psychological portraits, drawing attention to the economic and sociological problems that people addicted to alcohol face. The author accuses constant pressure from society and lack of support from loved ones to be some of the reasons of women’s descent into addiction. The topic of alcoholism appears in Chutnik’s prose in two variants. In the first one, the author presents the fates of heroines who fall into addiction. She is interested in various factors that influence the development of this disease. She enriches these stories with a sociological context, describing not only the mechanisms of addiction, but also the transformations in the area of alcohol chosen by Poles in the 1980s and 1990s. On that period psychotherapy was not a common phenomenon, and visits to a psychiatrist unequivocally condemned a person to social ostracism. In the second variant, the writer presents the fates of children growing up in families with alcohol problems. Their biographies are an example of people with the ACoA syndrome. Many of them suffer from manic-depressive psychosis. Anxiety disorders present in everyday existence, intensified by post-traumatic stress, contribute not only to problems with establishing close relationships, but also intensify fears of abandonment, feeling of shame and guilt, problems with expressing emotions and the accompanying loneliness.
THE PERFORMANCE OF BIVARIATE STATISTICAL MODELS IN LANDSLIDE SUSCEPTIBILITY MAPPING (CASE STUDY: CISANGKUY SUB-WATERSHED, BANDUNG, INDONESIA)

Published: December 2024

Landslide occurrences are common in hilly and mountainous areas, especially in tropical countries with high rainfall and intensive weathering. Landslide susceptibility mapping (LSM) is an initial effort to mitigate landslide hazards. This research conducted a comparative study of four LSM maps, namely frequency ratio (FR), information value model (IVM), weight of evidence (WoE), and Shannon entropy (SE), for the Cisangkuy Sub-watershed, West Java. Those models determine the relationship between the landslide density and the causative factors. The model utilized 76 landslide pixels and 15 causative factors. 70% of the landslides were used as training data, and the remaining was used for validation. The 15 factors were selected from 27 causative factors. The highly correlated causative factors were removed to address multicollinearity. In addition, only causal factors related to landslide data are involved in the modelling. The receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve and the landslide density index (LDI) method were used for model validation. All models indicate appropriate prediction rates for FR, IVM, WoE, and SE, which are 0.770, 0.790, 0.793, and 0.788, respectively. Based on the LDI analysis, the LDI values did not increase gradually from very low to very high susceptibility classes for each LSM map. However, the maps are still favorable because the classes that are most susceptible in all models have the highest LDI. The performance of the models may be influenced by the number of classes and classification methods used to categorize each continuous parameter, as well as the small quantity of landslide inventory data.
Epstein–Barr virus and immunity
Authors: Zotova Anna V. , Svitich Oksana A.
Published: December 2024

Epstein–Barr virus is the most widespread herpes virus in humans; the majority of the global population is infected by it. In children, the viral infection either lacks symptoms or leads to infectious mononucleosis. In a small percentage of people with latent infection, especially immunosuppressed patients, Epstein–Barr virus causes lymphoid and epithelial malignant neoplasms and a number of autoimmune diseases. Among other things, it is one of the causes of multiple sclerosis. Innate immunity is the primary protection from viruses, which the virus evades by using a number of strategies for successfully infecting people. It disrupts the innate immunity’s signaling pathways activated by Toll-, NOD-, RIG-I- and AIM2-like receptors, as well as cyclic GMP-AMP synthase. Epstein–Barr virus also counters the production and signaling of interferon, including JAK-STAT and TBK1-IRF3 pathways. Because of the differential modulation of the proviral and antiviral mechanisms of caspases and other cell cycle regulators at different infection stages, the virus actively interferes with the apoptosis and inflammation pathways to proceed infecting effectively. Using the activation of innate immunity to its advantage by triggering the pro-inflammatory response and the proteolytic cleavage of caspases which demonstrate proviral activity, the virus establishes latency and enters the phase of lytic reactivation. This promotes the development of serious life-threatening conditions, including cancer. The outcome of the infection is regulated by the delicate interaction between innate and adaptive immunity and the virus’ reproduction. In the absence of approved prophylactic vaccines, immunocorrection and antiviral therapy are the only possible methods of combating the virus and preventing the conditions associated with it. Understanding the mechanisms of various genes of Epstein–Barr virus involved in its life activity at different infection stages will help to find the right approach to developing preventive and curative treatments for this virus in the future.

Authors: Sahupala Peter , Parenden Daniel
Published: December 2024

The purpose of this study is as a source of information to study the potential of tidal energy at the estuary of the Maro River in the waters of Merauke Regency. This study uses a quantitative method, while the method for determining the location of the study used is the purposive sampling method where the data collection point is right at the end of the estuary of the Maro River because it faces directly onto the Arafura Sea. Tide data for 5 months, namely September 1, 2023 to January 31, 2024 with a pool area of 1,260,000 m2, with the consideration that from September to January there is a change of seasons that can significantly affect the tidal pattern. The tides are measured in two periods, namely the first tidal period starting at 01.00 AM to 12.00 AM and the second tidal period occurs at 01.00 PM to 12.00 PM. From the research data, it was obtained that the highest tides were in January 2024, namely the first-period tidal height difference of 5.333 meters and the energy produced was 5.292 kWh, and the second-period tidal height difference was 5.383 meters the energy produced was 5.349 kWh. The results of this study can encourage diversification of energy sources in Merauke and increase regional energy security as well as provide the data needed for further research and development of renewable energy technology, which can accelerate innovation of new technologies in the Merauke Papua region.
The Potential of Ramie Fiber as Reinforcement in Calcium Carbonate-Filled Polyester Resin Matrix Composites for Roofing Applications
Authors: Reinaldo Reinaldo , Setyanto Djoko
Published: December 2024

Polymer matrix composite roofing materials available in the Indonesian market typically consist of 30%wt chopped strand mat glass fiber embedded in unsaturated polyester resin, filled with 30 parts per hundred resin (PHR) calcium carbonate. The aim of this research is to evaluate whether natural ramie fibers can potentially replace glass fibers. In the first stage of the study, we compared three types of natural fibers abundant in Indonesia: banana stem fibers, sugarcane bagasse, and ramie. Showed that ramie fiber performed the best. Its flexural strength, flexural modulus, and impact toughness were the highest, measured at 191.57 MPa, 6691 MPa, and 0.056 J/mm², respectively. In the second stage, we produced composite material specimens with the same composition as commercial roofing materials but replaced the glass fibers with ramie fibers. Compared to the material without ramie fibers, the composite reinforced with ramie fibers shows an increase in tensile strength to 47.53 MPa from 34.62 MPa, an increase in maximum water absorption over 14 days to 3.746% from 1.145%, and an improvement in the sound transmission class to 26 dB from 23 dB. Additionally, the ramie fibers did not significantly affect the density of the composite material. However, the inclusion of ramie fibers resulted in a reduction of the elastic modulus to 1324 MPa from 1630 MPa, and a higher mass loss in the TGA examination, at 86.95% compared to 74.65%. Ramie fiber composites achieve the minimum roofing requirement of 40 MPa tensile strength, thus having the potential to replace glass fibers.

Do geopolitical risks affect stock market returns and volatilities: an analysis based on the TVP-VAR model
Authors: Lamine Ahlem , Zribi Sirine
Published: December 2024

This study examines the effects of geopolitical risk (GPR) shocks on stock market returns and volatility across G7, BRICS, and Gulf countries, using a time-varying parameter vector autoregression (TVP-VAR) model. By analyzing responses over short, medium, and long-term horizons, our findings reveal significant variations in how geopolitical risks impact stock markets across different countries and timelines. We observe that GPR-related impacts on stock returns weaken over time, while volatility effects tend to strengthen, suggesting persistent risks for investors in these markets. These insights provide new perspectives for portfolio management and investment strategies during times of geopolitical uncertainty.

Insights from an Interdisciplinary, Co-taught Course on Birth, Death, and Medical History
Authors: Gubbels Jennifer , Preston Margaret
Published: December 2024

This article discusses an interdisciplinary course titled: “Life’s Cycles: Birth, Death, and the History of Medicine” and seeks to offer ideas to faculty that might enhance their own courses. “Life’s Cycles” provides an enriching environment for science majors and non-science majors to learn the science, history and ethical dilemmas surrounding major medical and scientific discoveries. This is a four-week class to which students attend for 3.5 hours each day. Taught seven times since 2012 (with an average of 35 students), it is team-taught by two professors: one from history and the other biology. The course counts as an elective for the medical humanities and society minor and a scientific intersections course for the University’s general education plan. This paper describes the innovative use of student group collaboration and discussion of relevant texts related to the history of medicine and medical ethics. The course includes invited guest speakers such as local physicians, nurse midwives, grief counselors, and other medical personnel. It also invites guests who have experienced significant illness. Students learn how the practice of medicine has evolved as a science; an understanding of disease progression and the ethical treatment of patients through lectures, discussions, films, podcasts, books, and articles. Rich discussion arises from the varied experiences of science majors, humanities, and social science majors. For the final project, students collaborate on researching a disease, producing a paper and making a film that all showcase the scientific understanding of the disease, its history, treatment and an associated ethical dilemma. Students have commented that the class has changed their perspective and provided deeper understanding on major life events.
The role of troponin testing in the diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome: when and how?
Authors: Laarse Arnoud , Cobbaert Christa
Published: December 2024

Background and aim: The large number of publications on the role of troponin testing in the setting of patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome, in patients with stable angina, in patients with comorbidities, and in elderly residents makes it difficult to determine what to do (which troponin test), in what patients (acute or chronic coronary disease), and in which setting (testing in the ambulance, emergency department or Intensive Care Unit). The development of point-of-care troponin I and T tests has opened the door for early testing, but testing too early will conflict with the “troponin blind interval”. The recent improvements of analytical sensitivity of point-of-care troponin tests have created a vast number of new situations in which an early generated troponin result may lead to rapid diagnosis (in conjunction with ECG, anginal complaints, and physical examination) and rapid “rule in” or “rule out” decisions, which will lead to less admissions to the emergency department, less diagnostic activities like imaging procedures, and less costs of clinical care.

Methods: This review addresses developments of this field in the past 10 years since we asked the question “Will future troponin measurement overrule the ECG as the primary diagnostic tool in patients with acute coronary syndrome?”1

Findings: The sensitivity and reliability of the cardiac troponin I or T tests, including point-of-care cardiac troponin I or T tests, have been improved to a level that is indicated by the indication “high-sensitivity” (hs). These tests make it possible to determine cardiac troponin I or T values (i) in ≥50% of blood samples of healthy individuals, (ii) in blood samples of patients with acute myocardial infarction of very recent origin, (iii) in blood samples that show a rise of cardiac troponin I or T levels, and (iiii) in blood samples that show a fall of cardiac troponin I or T levels. An interesting development is the use of a second biomarker, of which copeptin is a promising adjunct. Instead of a second biomarker, clinicians are assisted by employing acute coronary syndrome scoring systems (such as the HEART score), for instance, to identify patients with low risk. The issue of specificity of elevated cardiac troponin I or T levels for acute myocardial infarction is scrutinized.

Conclusion: We conclude this review by stating that for patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome the protocols are refined for how and when to use cardiac troponin I or T tests for (i) prehospital triage to rule out low risk patients, and (ii) in hospital risk assessment of (very) high risk patients, including anamnesis, physical examination, and ECG. The continuing development of cardiac troponin tests improves the quality of diagnosis and shortens the interval to diagnosis and subsequent discharge from hospital, leading to less further clinical assessments, and less health care costs. In general, any new biomarker test should comply with filling in existing gaps in clinical care.
Long-lasting, Pathogeneses-related Drying of Diabetic Macular Edema
Authors: Ophir Avinoam
Published: December 2024

Center-involved diabetic macular edema (DME) is the major cause of vision loss in the working-age population. Enduring DME might progressively injure the foveal layers with subsequent visual acuity loss. Therefore, the primary aim of DME therapy is to achieve an early, long-lasting dry macula to improve or sustain visual acuity. Current drug treatment has not achieved this aim. Diffuse DME (DDME), the most challenging DME type, is characterized by a compromised diffuse vasculature. Its pathogeneses include vitreofoveal traction and tractional epimacular membrane, as well as two newly-recognized pathogeneses: a) extrafoveal traction, the most common one, which is primarily detectable by 3D optical coherence tomography, and b) transitional-phase type, which represents the early tractional process and is detectable only ultra-structurally. Hence, all DDME eyes are apparently tractional. Consequently, treatment of naïve-treated DDME eyes by early pars plana vitrectomy has achieved long-lasting dry maculae in 92%–100% of eyes, typically in one step, and habitually associated with improved visual acuity. The surgery also naturally included the elimination of leaking microaneurysms (the "focal DME" component) when they were present. The transitional-phase type presents circumstances for attaining efficacious outcome by grid laser photocoagulation as well. Hence, DME seems to approach a curative situation. Accordingly, a revised pathogenesis-related DME classification is presented.
