Any mastering of the movements technique, which is formed as a result of prolonged physical or sports exposure, depends on the activity coordination of the central nervous processes and the working muscles. In order to quickly achieve the result of improving the vestibular stability, a technique was developed aimed at changing the state of consciousness by focusing attention on performing coordination exercises along the specified trajectories and requiring the completion of tasks for a normative period of time. The purpose of the study is to determine the influence of transdynamic motor actions on improving the vestibular stability of students – future architects, mining technicians, environmental engineers, occupational safety specialists, water use engineers, automation engineers, etc. The results of the implementation of the author’s methodology for improving the vestibular stability in the course of training sessions with 42 students and preparing them for professional activity in the agrarian region were presented. In addition to the vestibular stability, the development processes of key physical qualities during the academic year were studied. The effectiveness of the technique has been proved, which contributed to the improvement of the vestibular stability by 10–15% in 8–10 practical sessions after a long absence of motor activity, and can also be used in game sports to increase athletic performance by 5–8% per year.

El sistema de partidos en México: fragmentación y consolidación
Authors: Méndez de Hoyos Irma
Published: October 2023

En este artículo se analizan algunas de las características del actual sistema de partidos en México, en particular su grado de fragmentación y el funcionamiento de sus partidos. Se argumenta que la creciente fragmentación de dicho sistema podría vincularse con el deterioro de las funciones de representación e institucionales de los partidos. En este sentido se explora la relación del número de partidos con una serie de indicadores de las funciones sistémicas de los partidos como la competitividad electoral, la participación política y la estabilidad gubernamental, así como la confianza en los partidos políticos y la satisfacción ciudadana con la democracia. El propósito es discutir algunas de las características del nuevo sistema de partidos mexicano en el marco de la consolidación democrática, y al mismo tiempo explorar la relación de su funcionamiento con el crecimiento del número de partidos en el periodo 1979-2003.
Propagandowy obraz operacji Cedar Falls ze stycznia 1967 r. w okresie wojny wietnamskiej
Authors: Masny Patryk
Published: October 2023

Celem artykułu jest analiza propagandowego obrazu operacji Cedar Falls, trwającej od 8 do 26 stycznia 1967 r., w oparciu o materiały amerykańskie, północnowietnamskie oraz polskie. Była ona największą ofensywą do tego momentu wojny wietnamskiej, angażującą blisko 30 000 żołnierzy amerykańskich i południowowietnamskich. W raportach podsumowujących została uznana za zakończoną sukcesem. Nie dziwi zatem, że z racji swej skali oraz przebiegu stała się także obiektem propagandy. W artykule omawiam i dokonuję analizy propagandowego obrazu tej operacji we wspomnianych wyżej materiałach oraz wykazuję obecne w nich podobieństwa i różnice. Przyglądam się czy przedstawienie tej ofensywy w polskiej „Trybunie Ludu” jest odmienne od tego ukazywanego w materiałach północnowietnamskich uwzględniając fakt, że oba te kraje należały do tego samego zimnowojennego bloku. Analizuję, na ile propagandowy obraz tej operacji u poszczególnych stron jest zgodny z rzeczywistym przebiegiem działań oraz dlaczego pewne elementy zostały zmienione i w jaki sposób. Warte podkreślenia są pewne charakterystyczne motywy w poszczególnych materiałach. W „Trybunie Ludu” łączono Cedar Falls i przeprowadzoną niemal w tym samym czasie w delcie Mekongu nieudaną operację Deckhouse V, starając się niejako rozciągnąć klęskę tej drugiej na Cedar Falls. „Trybuna” pisała o wysiedleniu do obozów koncentracyjnych uchodźców z Żelaznego Trójkąta, łącząc w ten sposób Amerykanów w Wietnamie z Niemcami doby II wojny światowej. Amerykańskie materiały starały się podkreślać rzekomo wyjątkowy w skali historycznej humanitaryzm wobec mieszkańców Żelaznego Trójkąta. Propaganda komunistów wietnamskich znacząco zawyżała straty Amerykanów w Cedar Falls oraz oskarżała ich o użycie broni chemicznej w formie toksycznych gazów.
Macrocomparativistics: new in the study of Slavic and Turkic languages
Authors:   Osh State University, Zulpukarov Kapar Z. , Zulpukarova Aida K. , Surkeeva Venera B.
Published: October 2023

The article is devoted to the comparative analysis of the names of parts of the human head in the Slavic and Turkic languages. The relevance of its topic consists in the debatable nature of the problems of the origin of the Russian words ‘rot (mouth)’, ‘usta (mouth)’, ‘ukho (ear)’, ‘litso (face)’ and others, in the ambiguity of scientists’ opinions regarding their etymology and in the importance of solving relevant issues for the theory of linguogenetics. The purpose of the article is a comparative analysis of the nominees of human head parts in the Slavic and Turkic languages in the aspect of nostratics. In the course of the research, methods of comparison, analogy and reconstruction were used, the identity of the origin of the names of the ear, mouth, face and some other parts of the head in the Slavic and Turkic languages was established, and the position that the formal-sound and semantic differences of the compared words do not go beyond the general laws of language divergence was substantiated. The results of the work can be useful for the theory of comparative historical linguistics and for the practice of compiling etymological dictionaries of the languages of Eurasia.

Singularity of proper names in Wes Anderson’s film story “The Grand Budapest Hotel”
Authors:   Kuban State University, Dukhovnaya Tatiana V.
Published: October 2023

The article analyzes proper names in Wes Anderson’s film “The Grand Budapest Hotel”. It examines structural, semantic and pragmatic characteristics of the film proper names. The results of the research show that fictional characters’ names perform different functions, namely, characterizing, stylistic, expressive, referential. Etymological meaning of a personal name is an important source of information about characters. Geographical names are all fictional but they are formed according to word-building patterns of different languages. Names of hotels take a special place in the film onomastic system. Other names of objects allude to some real historical phenomenon. Proper names play a significant role in building, representing, and understanding the fictional world depicted in the film created by Wes Anderson.
To the question of intertextual relations of Russian phenomenological tradition and the philosophy of all-unity in B. Pasternak’s novel “Doctor Zhivago”
Authors:   Kosygin Russian State University, Radomskaya Tatiana I. , Fedorov Maksim L. ,   Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: October 2023

The article shows how the peculiarities of the development of the Christian theme in Doctor Zhivago were predetermined not only by the author’s personality, but also by the philosophical and theological searches of the first third of the 20th century — the philosophy of the unity of S.N. Bulgakov, the phenomenological school of E. Husserl in the transmission of G. Shpet, as well as the domestic phenomenological tradition analyzed by S.L. Frank. In this regard, for the first time, we have attempted to compare the phenomenological image in Christian hymnography with the artistic image of the novel, which tried to capture the Divine in the earthly, which made it possible to identify the uniqueness of the phenomenological image in the work. The unity of man with the world and the Creator — this theme defines the range of thoughts of the author and his protagonist and corresponds to one of the main provisions of the “Philosophy of Economy” S.N. Bulgakov on the identity of subject and object, which determines the presence of intertextual links between the “Philosophy of Economy” and the text of the novel. A special Christian phenomenology, which creates a certain image of the world, is closely connected with the philosophy of unity. Thus, earthly life appears spiritualized by the Divine presence and, in a certain sense, becomes a phenomenon of the noumenal essence. The article shows that Pasternak’s comprehension of spiritual reality has its own distinctive features. In this regard, the article reveals similarities and differences between the spiritual texts of modern Pasternak — the Akathist of Mitr. Trifon (Turkestanov) “Thank God for everything!” and the text of the novel. Thus, if the Russian phenomenological tradition represented in the akathist, according to S.L. Frank, is characterized by a combination of “the immanent presence of the Divine principle <…> with a keen sense of transcendence”, then in the image of Pasternak, striving to capture the divine in the material, there is an immanent, soul-sensual comprehension of spiritual reality, the ideal domain of meanings becomes immanent to the earthly dimensions, the phenomenological image, sometimes, ceases to denote the noumenal essence. This development of the Christian theme in the novel, in particular, is associated with a sense of equality between man and God, but not with the hierarchy of the world, which is consonant with the general type of worldview of the beginning 20th century.

The new insincerity: about the work of Zakhar Prilepin
Authors:   Patrice Lumumba Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia, Zhuchkova Anna V.
Published: October 2023

In the work, a comprehensive study of Z. Prilepin’s creativity is carried out. On the one hand, the dynamics of the author’s poetics can be traced from the early works of the noughties (“Sankya” and “Sin”) to the latest texts — “Some will not go to hell” and “Militia romance”. On the other hand, Prilepin’s work fits into the general literary context of the noughties, and comparing the basic characteristics of Prilepin’s text with such trends of Russian literature as “trench prose”, “new realism” and “new sincerity” allows us to conclude about the typological similarity of Prilepin’s work and D. Prigov’s “new sincerity”. Special attention is paid to the analysis of the leading author’s strategies aimed at establishing contact with the reader and identifying communicative methods of influencing the reader, designed to create a sense of the author’s “sincerity” in the latter, whereas in fact we are not talking about sincerity as a depth of affect, but about “new sincerity” as a special kind of cultural construct.
Polygenre of A. Polyarinov ‘s prose
Authors:   Moscow Polytechnic University, Shapiro Angelina M.
Published: October 2023

In modern science fiction, dystopia occupies a special place, as evidenced by the works of T.T. Davydova and O.V. Bogdanova. Along with classic fiction, dystopia can be called the most popular genre modification in modern literature. Unlike utopia, which seeks to paint an image of an ideal society where there will be no place for wars, suffering, or injustice, dystopia is a nightmarish image of any society. This book review characterizes the polygenre of the prose of the modern writer Alexey Polyarinov — dystopian, fairy-tale and mythological features. To achieve this goal, two main novels are considered in detail — “Center of Gravity” and “Reef”, special attention was paid to the analysis of the images of the central characters of these works. The genre features of the dystopia of the novel “Center of Gravity” are identified and comprehensively considered, fragments of the text emphasizing the fabulous motives of the plot are also analyzed. In the novel “Reef” considers the problem of sectarianism and the methods of mental influence that the head of the sect uses to completely subjugate the will of the sectarians. The complex problem of relationships within the family is also explored. Examples of mythological images of the novel, important for the disclosure of the plot, are given. The relevance of this study is due to the interest in modern Russian literature, the main problems that are currently being addressed in it, its artistic trends.
Anna and Zakhar, or The hero of our time
Authors:   Patrica Lumumba Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia, Ovcharenko Alexey Yu.
Published: October 2023

The article analyzes the proposed by the famous literary critic Anna Zhuchkova’s creative evolution research methodology of the artistic style of Zakhar Prilepin. The presented assessment of the writer’s literary work, based on a thorough knowledge of the texts, has an objective chronological form, which allows us to determine the role and significance of Z. Prilepin’s prose more accurately in the literary process of the early 21st century. It is clarified that the analysis of Z. Prilepin’s prose is based on the methodology of biographical research proposed by I.N. Rozanov, Russian formalists (G.O. Vinokur) and rethought in the works of Yu.M. Lotman. A. Zhuchkova updated the genre of “biography of the writer”, the concept of “writer’s reputation” in the dynamics of the historical and literary process of the first decades of the XXI century in Russia. Relevant for postmodern discourse is the analysis of the genesis and dynamics of the concept of “sincerity” in the Russian historical and literary process from Apollon Grigoriev to the theorists of the Commonwealth “The Pass” and Vladimir Pomerantsev’s textbook article “On the sincerity of literature” (1953), the emergence and evolution of “New Sincerity” in Russian literature from D.A. Prigov to D. Vodennikov, problems of restoration of classical romantic discourse, remythologization of the ideals of the “romantics of the revolution”, transformation of the “trench truth” genre in the texts of “new realism” by Z. Prilepin, A. Karasev, D. Gutsko, O. Ermakov, etc.

Authors: Kim Jayoung , Kim Bora
Published: October 2023

Purpose: Sedum kamtschaticum Fisch. (SK), a plant native to Korea, was studied as a natural preservative and antiaging cosmetic ingredient.Methods: The stems and roots of SK were separated; extracted through reflux with 70% ethanol; and fractionated with n-hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, n-butyl alcohol, and water. The ethyl acetate fractions were evaluated for their antiaging effects, including antiglycation activity and elastase and collagenase inhibitory activity. Their antimicrobial activity on seven microorganisms was evaluated using the paper disk diffusion method and challenge test. In addition, the stability of lotion formulations and skin penetration were assessed using the Franz diffusion cell method.Results: The ethyl acetate fractions of SK with the best antioxidant effects exhibited better antiglycation and collagenase-inhibitory activity than the positive control as well as excellent antibacterial effects against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Emulsion formulations containing 0.05% and 0.1% SK stem extract exhibited synergistic preservative effects. The SK stem extract displayed the ability to penetrate into an artificial membrane and human cadaver skin.Conclusion: SK extracts can be used as antiaging and antimicrobial cosmetic materials.
Design Shape of Combining the Uniform Layer Cut and Graduated Cut according to the Length, Head Area Division, and Slice Line
Authors: Guk Hye Ran
Published: October 2023

Purpose: This study focused on the combination of uniform layer cut and graduated cut to provide basic data on haircuts by demonstrating design changes according to the hair length, head area division, and slice lines.Methods: The head area was divided into the top golden medium point, golden point, and golden back medium point. The upper part of the head was used for the graduated cut with a head angle of 75°, and the lower part was used for the uniform layer cut with a head angle of 90°. Slice line A, parallel line, and V-line were applied only to the top of the head. The cut was started based on the sites 15, 20, and 25 cm from the nape point.Results: The A line became longer as the hair length reached the face line. Consequently, the face and neck lines were covered, and the weight, volume, and expansion were increased. The V-line became shorter, as the hair length reached the face line. Thus, the face and neck lines are prominent, and the volume feeling is increased because of the curling phenomenon. As the point of the head area division increased, the hair length became shorter, and volume and vitality increased. As the point of the head area division went down, the hair length became longer, and the volume, weight, and expansion increased. A graduated high angle of treatment was formed by the lightness at the bottom and the volume by the weight line at the top. The uniform layer showed a rough texture with rhythm, lightness, and round shape.Conclusion: The top and golden points where the head shape protrudes during cutting should be cut more precisely. The cut line is not slick as the incline is severe. Combing and posture are more important than cutting. When combing once, exercise care when combing from the roots, and during cutting, stand in front of the body while changing the body’s position. This study verified creative haircuts.

Ketidakpastian nilai keserasian alat yang diakibatkan oleh bervariasinya data cycle time akan menyebabkan rata-rata nilai keserasian alat yang dihasilkan kurang sesuai dengan kondisi yang sebenarnya. Penelitian ini mengaplikasikan metode probabilistik yaitu Monte Carlo pada penentuan keserasian alat. Perhitungan nilai probabilitas match factor (MF) dilakukan untuk mengetahui kemungkinan nilai keserasian alat sama dengan satu, kurang dari satu dan lebih dari satu dan kemudian dapat diketahui rentang cycle time yang optimal untuk alat angkut dan alat gali muat. Hasil yang didapatkan pada MF1, probabilitas nilai MF < 0,8 adalah 99,1%, 0,8 < MF ≤ 1 adalah sebesar 0,9% (dari fungsi log logistik) dan MF > 1 adalah 0%. Pada MF2, probabilitas nilai MF < 0,8 adalah 78,8% (dari fungsi logistik) dan 0,8 < MF ≤ 1 adalah sebesar 18,2% (dari fungsi logistik) dan MF > 1 adalah 3%. Probabilitas menggunakan dua kali standar deviasi (MF2) yang dipakai untuk menentukan rentang cycle time alat angkut maupun alat gali muat yang perlu dijaga agar lebih optimal dalam bekerja. Rentang cycle time yang optimal untuk mendapatkan 0,8 < MF ≤ 1 adalah 900-1300 detik untuk alat angkut dan 15-35 detik untuk alat gali muat.

Las aguas residuales aportan nutrientes para los cultivos y aumentan el volumen de agua disponible para el riego, pero representan contingencias como la salinización y sodificación de los suelos, toxicidad en las plantas y riesgos para la salud humana. Con el objetivo de identificar los riesgos de salinización y sodificación de los suelos en los distritos de riego Tula y Alfajayucan, se realizó la caracterización física y química de 70 muestras de agua tomadas en canales, ríos, presas y manantiales. Se realizó el análisis de los parámetros pH y conductividad eléctrica (CE), y se determinó la concentración de los iones Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+, CO32–, HCO3–, Cl–, SO42–, B y PO43–. Solo el 5.7 % de los sitios muestreados tiene buena calidad agronómica, de acuerdo con la CE; en todos los sitios muestreados predominan los iones Na+, HCO3– y Cl–, que dan lugar a la formación de las sales NaHCO3 y NaCl, que son tóxicas para la mayoría de los cultivos; existe riesgo de reducción en la infiltración del agua en el suelo en el 65.7 % de los sitios muestreados; en el 87.1 % de los sitios, el boro se encuentra en concentraciones que pueden ser tóxicas para los cultivos, y en el 48.6 % se supera la concentración de 2 mg/L de ortofosfatos. Con los parámetros evaluados, se concluye que la calidad agronómica de las aguas utilizadas en los distritos de riego Tula y Alfajayucan es deficiente, por los riesgos altos de salinización y sodificación del suelo, así como de toxicidad para los cultivos.
Is modern medicine in need of an overhydration marker in kidney failure? The accuracy of available fluid overload markers and the potential of the new ones.

Published: October 2023

Overhydration (OH) is a prevalent medical problem occuring in patients with kidney failure, but a specific marker has still not been found. Currently, clinicians employ techniques such as bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS), ultrasound (US) markers of fluid overload or markers of heart and kidney function such as NT-pro-BNP, GFR or creatinine levels. New serum markers, including but not limited to Ca-125, Galectin-3 (Gal-3), Adrenomedullin (AMD) and Urocortin-2 (UCN-2), are presently under research, displaying promising results. The necessity to ascertain a more precise marker of overhydration is urgent mainly because physical examination is exceptionally imprecise. Signs and symptoms of fluid overload, like edema or gradual increase of body mass, are not always present, notably in patients with chronic kidney disease. This review paper summarizes actual knowledge of a patient's hydration status estimation, focusing specifically on kidney diseases.
From Shallow to Deep Bioprocess Hybrid Modeling: Advances and Future Perspectives
Authors: Agharafeie Roshanak , Ramos João Rodrigues Correia , Mendes Jorge M , Oliveira Rui
Published: October 2023

Deep learning is emerging in many industrial sectors in hand with big data analytics to streamline production. In the biomanufacturing sector, big data infrastructure is lagging comparatively to other industries. A promising approach is to combine Deep Neural Networks (DNN) with prior knowledge in Hybrid Neural Network (HNN) workflows that are less dependent on the quality and quantity of data. This paper reviews published articles over the past 30 years on the topic of HNN applications to bioprocesses. It revealed that HNNs were applied to various bioprocesses, including microbial cultures, animal cells cultures, mixed microbial cultures, and enzyme biocatalysis. HNNs were mainly applied for process analysis, process monitoring, development of software sensors, open- and closed-loop control, batch-to-batch control, model predictive control, intensified design of experiments, quality-by-design, and recently for the development of digital twins. Most previous HNN studies combined shallow Feedforward Neural Networks (FFNNs) with physical laws, such as macroscopic material balance equations, following the semiparametric design principle. Only recently, deep HNNs based on deep FFNNs, Convolution Neural Networks (CNN), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks and Physics Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) have been reported. The biopharma sector is currently a major driver but applications to biologics quality attributes, new modalities, and downstream processing are significant research gaps.

The interrelatedness of social-structural aspects and psychological features with the vaccination intention provides the context to explore personal psychological fea-tures related to general decision-making and vaccine-related dispositions, and their contribution to the intention to vaccinate, within post-pandemic circumstances, after the imposed possibility of choosing a vaccine brand. The aim of our study was to map the function (promotive, protective, risk, vulnerability) of a set of psychological aspects in the intention to vaccinate, in people with different social roles regarding the vaccination. We surveyed three samples of people: healthcare providers (HPs), parents, and lay people, within the context of the after-pandemic. Negative vaccine attitudes lower intention to vaccinate in all regression models (all βs ranging from -.128 to -.983, all ps < .01). The main results indicate that, regardless of the sam-ple/social role, there is a shared attitudinal core for positive vaccination intention. This core consists of [high] trust in large corporations, government, and healthcare systems, as well as perceived consensus on vaccine safety/efficacy and experience of freedom (protective factors), and [low] vaccination conspiracy beliefs, trust in social media, and choice overload (risk and vulnerability factors, respectively). There are no common promotive factors of intention to vaccinate; for parents, perceived consensus on vaccines, and trust in corporations and the healthcare system play such roles, for HPs experience of freedom is obtained as a unique promotive factor. In contrast, for laypeople, no unique promotive factors were found. These results and guidelines for the promotion of positive vaccination behavior are further discussed.

Saline water irrigation contributes significantly to forage yield. However, the salinity threshold for safe saline water irrigation of tall wheatgrass in coastal saline-alkaline land remains unclear. In this study, 2 g L‒1, 3 g L‒1, 4 g L‒1, 5 g L‒1, and 8 g L‒1 saline waters were used for irrigation. Two irrigations with 2+3 g L‒1 saline waters produced the highest yield, followed by one irrigation with 4 g L‒1 or 5 g L‒1 saline water. After rainfall’s leaching, the soil electrical conductivity (EC1:5) reduced by 41.7%‒79.3% for the saline water irrigation treatments. In combination with saline water irrigation, plastic film mulching can be used for sward establishment of seed propagated tall wheatgrass. However, irrigation with high salinity of drainage water enhanced the risk of plant death. Further, a pot experiment demonstrated that irrigation with 5 g L‒1 saline water led to the least reduction of forage yield and the highest crude protein content in leaves. However, the plants irrigated with ≥7 g L‒1 saline water enhanced soil salinity and reduced plant height, leaf size, and gas exchange rate. Conclusively, one irrigation with ≤5 g L‒1 saline water at the end of April or early May could be acceptable to maximize the forage yield of tall wheatgrass and minimize soil salinization risk in the coastal saline-alkaline land around the Bohai Sea.

Phosphorus deficiency highly interferes with plant growth and development. Plants respond to the persistent P deficiency by coordinating the expression of genes involved in the alleviation of the stress. Promoters of phosphate transporter genes are of great choice for the development of genetically modified plants with enhanced phosphate uptake abilities, which improve crop yields in phosphate-deficient soils. In our previous study, the sugarcane phosphate transporter PHT1;2 gene, showed a significantly high expression under salinity stress. In this study, the Erianthus arundinaceus EaPHT1;2 gene was isolated and characterized using various in-silico tools. The deduced 542 amino acid residues have 10 transmembrane domains, with a molecular weight and isoelectric point of 58.9 kDa and 9.80, respectively. They displayed 71–96% similarity with Arabidopsis thaliana, Zea mays, and Saccharum hybrid. To elucidate the function of the 5’ regulatory region, the 1.1kb promoter was isolated and validated in tobacco transgenics under Pi stress. The EaPHT1;2 promoter activity was detected using the β-glucuronidase (GUS) assay. While the EaPHT1;2 promoter showed 3 to 4.2-fold higher expression than the most widely used CaMV35S promoter. The 5’ deletion analysis with and without 5’UTR regions, revealed that a small size 374 bp fragment with the highest promoter activity among 5′ truncated fragments, which was 2.7 and 4.2 times higher than the well-used CaMV35S promoter under normal and Pi-deprivation conditions, respectively. The strong and short promoter of EaPHT1;2 with 374 bp showed significant expression in low Pi-stress conditions and it could be a valuable source for the development of stress-tolerant transgenic crops
Ramifications of m6A Modification on ncRNAs in Cancer
Authors: Mehmood Rashid
Published: October 2023

N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is an RNA modification wherein N6-position of adenosine is methylated. It is one of the most prevalent internal modifications on RNA and regulates various aspects of RNA metabolism. M6A is deposited by m6A methyltransferases, removed by m6A demethylases and recognized by reader proteins, which modulate splicing, export, translation and stability of the modified mRNA. Recently evidence suggests that various classes of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) including microRNAs (miRNAs), circular RNAs (circRNAs), and long con-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are also targeted by this modification. Depending on the ncRNA species, m6A may affect processing, stability, or localization of these molecules. The m6A modified ncRNAs are implicated in a number of diseases including cancer. In this review, I summarize the role of m6A modification in the regulation and function of ncRNAs in tumor development. Moreover, the potential applications in cancer prognosis and therapeutics is discussed.

Background and Objectives: Cardiovascular disease is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality among the diabetic population. Given the high prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) in Saudi Arabia and the high prevalence of heart failure in the diabetic population, this study assesses the echocardiographic changes in Saudi patients with type 2 DM (T2DM) compared with healthy controls. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective case control study, 80 patients with diabetes (45 males, age: 58.78±10.2 years) were compared with 80 controls (45 males, age: 58.6±10 years) who underwent an echocardiographic study in the King Saud University Medical City, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Results: There were no significant differences between patients with diabetes and controls in terms of aortic root diameter, left atrium diameter, posterior wall, interventricular wall thickness, left ventricular diameters and ejection fraction. However, diastolic dysfunction was statistically significantly higher in the diabetic group compared with the control group (P <0.05). Conclusions: This is the first case control study in Saudi Arabia that assesses echocardiographic parameters in T2DM patients. DM is an independent risk factor for diastolic dysfunction regardless of its association with hypertension and dyslipidemia.
