Co-concevoir localement les outils de l’accompagnement du changement pour engager conjointement conseillers et éleveurs dans la transition.
Authors: LACOMBE Camille , GRESSIER Estelle , COUIX Nathalie
Published: December 2022

Le projet salsa avait pour objectif d’engager la transition agroécologique des élevages ovin-lait de l’AVEM, via la mobilisation d’un outil de diagnostic global des fermes, qui permettrait d’identifier les bonnes pratiques et les leviers d’action à mettre en œuvre pour améliorer les performances agroécologiques des fermes. La co-conception locale et chemin-faisant de cet outil au cours du projet a conduit à adapter l’outil à ses futures situations d’utilisation dans les fermes. Petit à petit, la logique initiale d’utilisation « prescriptive » a évolué vers une logique d’accompagnement des projets individuels des éleveurs, mobilisant l’outil simultanément comme support d’animation, de comparaison, de simulation ou de suivi des changements individuels, au sein de petits groupes locaux de pairs. Au cours de cette évolution, la participation et la place des éleveurs dans le conseil et l’accompagnement de leurs pairs s’est transformée, et l’activité de conseil a évolué au sein de l’AVEM.

Published: December 2022

Vinegar products have gained popularity as an all-natural antimicrobial agent in recent years. In the present study, the antimicrobial susceptibility of 29 Listeria monocytogenes strains isolated from ready-to-eat foods was detected against natural and commercial antimicrobial agents, vinegar produced from different raw materials, lemon juice, sodium bicarbonate, and hydrogen peroxide, by using the disc diffusion method. Different concentrations of antimicrobial agents were tested against varying cell densities of the L. monocytogenes strain (105, 106, and 107 CFU/mL). The inhibition zone diameter was measured to evaluate the antimicrobial effects of antimicrobial agents on L. monocytogenes strains. The inhibition zone diameters of L. monocytogenes strains were 6.0–8.8 mm and 6.0–11.3 mm against traditional and commercial vinegar types, respectively. The commercial vinegar types showed higher antimicrobial efficacy than the conventional ones. The inhibition zone diameters of L. monocytogenes strains against carbonate, lemon juice, and hydrogen peroxide were 6.0, 6.0–9.0, and 33.9–51.9 mm, respectively. The antimicrobial efficacy of hydrogen peroxide was the highest among the tested antimicrobial agents. This study showed that vinegar products have potential to be utilized as natural antimicrobials on food-borne pathogens like L. monocytogenes.

Authors: Delgado Hipatia , Tapia César , Borja Edwin , Naranjo Edwin , Martín Juan Pedro
Published: December 2022

The black amaranth (Amaranthus quitensis Kunth) is traditionally cultivated in the Ecuadorian highlands, where it has great social, cultural and food importance for the native population, and locally it is called ataco or sangorache. Currently, there are no data on the diversity and conservation status in which the ataco landraces are found. We have evaluated the phenotypic diversity of black amaranth landraces collected at two different times (1981-1986 and 2014-2015) in three representative Andean provinces for this crop (Imbabura, Tungurahua and Cañar). Thirty agro-morphological descriptors were used, 11 quantitative and 19 qualitative. Most of the quantitative traits showed high levels of variation, especially grain yield per plant. The qualitative traits showed less diversity, although the characters related to the plant pigmentation and the shape and attitude of the inflorescence were significantly discriminating between accessions from different provinces. Few significant differences were detected between both collects, so the farmers seem to be carrying out adequate on-farm conservation of the ataco germplasm. The agro-morphological information obtained in this study may be useful for enhancing the use of this plant genetic resource in future amaranth breeding programs, as well as for effectively managing the black amaranth collection from Germplasm Bank of the Ecuadorian National Institute for Agricultural Research (INIAP).

Welding is the process of coalescence of two metals/alloys for creating a seamless joint, is a quintessential fabrication process utilised in almost every manufacturing sector. There is a range of welding processes that are used according to their features and the requirement of the fabricator. The tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding process is an extensively used welding process owing to its inherent characteristics like high weld quality, surface cleanliness, and autogenous welding mode. Unfortunately, the TIG process suffers some drawbacks, the most pronounced one is the shallow weld bead and low depth of penetration (DOP). This renders the process unusable for welding thicker sections in a single pass and consequently requires multiple passes which adds to the expenditure. A modification to this process is the A-TIG welding where A stands for Activated, the method utilises activating flux material to augment the penetration depth and depth to width ratio (DWR) of the weld bead. The current work is comprehensive and focuses mainly on the basics of the A-TIG process, understanding of weld pool dynamics that are governing the depth of penetration, analysis of various flux materials for their effects on different metals/alloys and finally the outcomes fetched from using A-TIG process on different commercially important alloys.

Introduction. In recent times, changes in epidemiology of tongue cancer have been observed. morbidity among nonsmoking and non-abusing alcohol young women have been rising. Currently, etiology and pathogenesis of tumor development in this nosological group are unclear and require detailed analysis of epidemiologic and clinical data.

Aim. To analyze the clinical material on the incidence of tongue cancer among young women (under 45 years old) over a 10-year period and assess the prevalence of this pathology in this group, the methods of treatment and reconstruction used, and determine the prognosis.

Materials and methods. The study included 68 female patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue who received treatment between 2010 and 2020. mean age was 36.8 years (between 18 and 45 years; median – 39 years). None of the patients had history of alcohol abuse or smoking. In 32 (47.1 %) patients, primary diagnosis was made at stages I–II, in 36 (52.9 %) at stages III–Iv.

Results. In the last 10 years, a trend towards increased morbidity of tongue cancer among young women have been observed. In 2010, 2 cases of the disease were detected, in 2019–13, in 2020–14. mean follow-up duration was 40 months (median 32 months). Overall 5-year survival in this period was 72.5 ± 6.5 %, recurrence-free 5-years survival was 66.5 ± 6.6 %. Conclusion. Increase on tongue cancer morbidity among young non-smoking women is a new epidemiological trend worldwide. Etiological and pathogenetic factors of this trend have not been studied and require large multicenter studies for obtaining statistically significant results. Early medical resource utilization in this social group allows to perform adequate surgical intervention but requires the head and neck tumor specialist to pay attention to reconstructive surgery, quality and early patient rehabilitation allowing to preserve high quality of life, capacity for work and social activity.

Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma accounts for 20 % of all malignant non-melanoma skin tumors, which is one of the most common cancers worldwide. Antitumor treatment is usually very effective: cure rate reaches 90 %, while local recurrence rate is 25 %. The main treatment option for primary skin cancers is surgery. The most significant risk factors for locoregional recurrence include tumor location (head and neck), size (>2 cm), depth of invasion (>4 mm), tumor differentiation grade, perineural invasion, immune system disorders (immunosuppression), severe concomitant diseases, and previous treatment.

In patients with advanced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, 1-year, 2-year, and 3-year survival rates are 50–80, 30–35 and 15–16 %, respectively. Radiotherapy is a radical treatment option that increases the 5-year survival rate to 90 % and ensures good cosmetic results in 80 % of cases. There are 3 main variants of radiotherapy for cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma: sole radiotherapy according to a radical program, adjuvant radiotherapy in combination with surgery, and palliative radiotherapy. most frequently, radiotherapy is used as part of adjuvant postoperative treatment and is not initially considered as a sole conservative treatment for cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma patients below 45 years of age with resectable tumors, especially high-risk tumors. palliative radiotherapy is an affordable and effective method for combating painful symptoms; moreover, it often provides long-term local control.
Adult spinal muscular atrophy: problems of early diagnosis
Authors: Shpilyukova Yu. A. , Illarioshkin S. N.
Published: December 2022

Background. Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) associated with chromosome 5q is an autosomal recessive neuromuscular disease caused by a mutation in the SMN1 gene. Adult forms of SMA are relatively rarer and associated with significant diagnostic difficulties and pronounced delay in diagnosis. The available pathogenetic therapy for SMA has the greatest effect with an earlier start of treatment, so timely diagnosis of the disease significantly improves the overall prognosis.Aim. To evaluate the features of diagnosis of the adult SMA and summarize the first experience of such diagnosis in Russian patients.Materials and methods. We analyzed the archived medical records of 50 adult patients with SMA consulted at the Research Center of Neurology (Moscow).Results. The data of patients with SMA type 2 (n = 26), SMA type 3 (n = 21), SMA type 4 (n = 3) were analyzed. The delay time for diagnosis in SMA type 2 is 35 (0–270) months, with SMA types 3 and 4 – 108 (0–408) months. The diagnosis of SMA was the first diagnosis in SMA type 2 in 69 % of cases, in SMA types 3 and 4 in 29 % of cases. The most common first diagnosis in patients with SMA is myopathy, accounting for 52 % of all misdiagnosed cases. A small percentage of the use of needle electromyography in the diagnostic process was noted (1/3 of cases); in cases of its use, this did not accelerate the correct diagnosis. Creatine phosphokinase activity is often elevated in patients with SMA types 3 and 4 compared with SMA type 2 (p <0.05). Conclusions. To reduce the delay in the correct diagnosis of SMA and earlier initiation of pathogenetic therapy, it is necessary to increase the awareness of specialists about the features of diagnosis the disease and focus on alternative erroneous diagnoses, among which adult patients with SMA may “hide”. The key to confirming the diagnosis is DNA testing.
The study of the biomechanical aspects of the act of breathing in patients with myasthenia gravis and motor neuron disease using the ultrasound
Authors: Rushkevich Yu. N. , Galievskaya O. V. , Chernenko N. I. , Likhachev S. A.
Published: December 2022

Background. As motor neuron disease (MND) and myasthenia gravis (MG) progress, the respiratory muscles are involved in the pathological process with the development of respiratory failure, which is one of the main causes of death. Respiratory disorders due to weakness and pathological muscle fatigue are often diagnosed with a delay, which is associated with the moderation of changes in the early stages of the disease. The ultrasound examination is one of the additional methods for diagnosing dysfunction of the respiratory muscles, however, the lack of methodological recommendations leads to the heterogeneity of diagnostic data.Aim. To identify subclinical signs of impaired function of the respiratory muscles in the early stages of the development of MND and MG using ultrasound.Results. Ultrasonography was performed in 19 (44 %) patients with MND and 24 (56 %) with MG; the comparison group consisted of 35 healthy volunteers. Diagnostics was carried out with application of an Philips HD11 XE device (Philips, USA), using a linear transducer with a frequency of 5–12 MHz and a convex transducer of 2–5 MHz. Compared with the control, patients with MND showed a statistically significant decrease in the following parameters: diaphragm thickness, diaphragm movement amplitude, intercostal spaces, kidney right and left respiratory mobility during calm and deep breathing, and the diaphragm thickening coefficient on the left (U, р <0.05). Patients with MG showed a statistically significant decrease in the amplitude of diaphragm movement during deep breathing on the right, the size of the intercostal spaces during deep breathing on the left, and the coefficient of diaphragm thickening on the left (U, p <0.05).Conclusions. The obtained data reflect the presence of functional and structural changes in the respiratory muscles, caused by their weakness. Ultrasound signs of dysfunction of the respiratory muscles were established, indicating the presence of pathological fatigue and/or weakness of the respiratory muscles, which may indicate either developing or developed respiratory failure. Ultrasound is a non‑invasive, inexpensive and safe diagnostic method and can be a good and convenient way to detect dysfunction of the respiratory muscles, and in some cases can be an additional diagnostic method (for example, when correct spirometry is difficult to perform due to the presence of bulbar disorders in MND and MG).

Mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy is an extremely rare (1–9:1 000 000, Orphanet, 2021) multisystem genetic disease caused by mutations in the TYMP gene encoding the enzyme thymidine phosphorylase.The article presents the data of a thirteen‑year survey on 40‑year‑old patient D. with clinical manifestations of mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy syndrome associated with the previously undescribed missense mutation c.1301G>T (p.Gly434Val) of the TYMP gene. Detailed clinical picture (gastrointestinal dysfunction, cachexia, blepharoptosis, ophthalmoparesis, peripheral polyneuropathy and leukoaraiosis), electroneuromyography data (demyelination with secondary axonopathy), high blood serum level of dihydrothymine together with normal levels of thymidine and deoxyuridine made it possible to verify the diagnosis. Histopathological examination revealed atrophy of the longitudinal (outer) muscle layer of the small and large intestines and a significant decrease in the number of CD117+ cells (telocytes), signs of damage to the striated skeletal muscles of a mixed nature with a predominance of the myogenic pattern, as well the destruction of the myelin sheaths of peripheral nerves. Histochemical examination did not reveal “ragged red fibers” characteristic of mitochondrial pathology. Transmission electron microscopy demonstrated the presence of megalomitochondria in the myocardium.

Authors: Génova Fuster Mar , Díez Herrero Andrés
Published: December 2022

La dendrocronología es el estudio de los anillos de crecimiento en la madera de troncos, ramas y raíces, que permite la datación del periodo de vida del árbol o arbusto, y de los fenómenos naturales o antrópicos que afectaron al mismo durante su ciclo vital. Con ello se pueden datar y caracterizar procesos geodinámicos (internos y externos), formas del relieve y depósitos-formaciones superficiales del Cuaternario con los que se asocian los materiales leñosos. Incluso se han utilizado para el análisis y prevención de peligros naturales como movimientos de ladera, aludes de nieve, inundaciones, terremotos o erupciones volcánicas. Los estudios dendrocronológicos aplicados al Cuaternario se concentran sobre todo en Norteamérica y Europa; y dentro de nuestro país en el centro peninsular (Sistema Central y cuencas del Duero y Tajo) y en el Pirineo. La presencia de árboles y arbustos en ambientes de casi cualquier latitud y continente, la elevada resolución temporal de la técnica (precisión anual e incluso estacional), y su amplio rango de aplicación (desde unos pocos años a varios milenios), hacen de la dendrocronología una técnica de datación muy versátil y útil para los estudiosos del Cuaternario, tanto por sí sola como complementada con otras, como la datación radiocarbónica.

Authors: KÜÇÜKALP Abdullah , ÖZDEMİR Bülent
Published: December 2022

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of surgical treatment of extensor tendon injuries in the hand with appropriate primary repair techniques on clinical and functional outcomes, taking into account the mechanism of injury, concomitant injuries and injury sites. Materials and Methods: This is a cross-sectional study in which 103 patients who were operated between 2016-2020 in Orthopedics and Traumatology Clinic were evaluated retrospectively. Existing treatment modalities were evaluated in terms of etiological factors, anatomical regions, number of injured tendons, and injuries. Complications and functional outcomes were statistically evaluated according to anatomical regions, mechanism of injury and additional injuries. Results: 114 extensor tendon injuries of 103 patients (mean age: 37.2 years) were evaluated. The mean follow-up period was 26.8 months. Among the etiological factors, it is seen that the most common one is sharp object injury (57.3%). According to the Miller classification performed at the 8th week and 12th month in sharp object injury, moderate and poor outcome and the presence of complications were found to be statistically significantly lower than other injury types. A statistical correlation was observed between the accompanying injury (n: 21/103) and the occurrence of complications and functional outcomes. While there is no difference between complications, depending on the body regions, and functional results at 8. week statistically significantly lower functional results were found in zone-2 injuries at 12 months. Conclusion: While successful postoperative recovery primarily depends on the type of injury and associated injuries, good and excellent functional results can be achieved with early mobilization after surgery with the appropriate repair technique in any region.
Ranking Earthquake Sources Using Spatial Residuals of Seismic Scenarios: Methodology Application to the 1909 Benavente Earthquake
Authors: de Pro-Díaz Yolanda , Vilanova Susana , Canora Carolina
Published: December 2022

Historical earthquakes are of major importance in the analysis of seismic hazards, in particular for stable continental regions. In this article, we propose a methodology that uses seismic scenarios to provide constraints on the location of the seismic source of historical earthquakes. Our methodology involves generating seismic scenarios for the proposed seismic sources and comparing the results to the observed intensity field of the earthquake. To avoid the bias related to strongly heterogeneously distributed datasets, we focus on data points that are useful in discriminating between competing ruptures. These data are identified by the spatial patterns of residuals between seismic scenarios produced for each source. We apply this methodology to a test event—the 1999 Athens earthquake—for which both the magnitude and location are constrained by independent data, and to the 1909 Benavente earthquake, for which the magnitude is constrained by seismological studies, but the location is uncertain due to the very poor azimuthal coverage available. Within its application limits, the proposed methodology was capable of identifying the source of the Athens earthquake amongst different ruptures located few kilometers apart. The analysis performed for the 1909 Benavente earthquake suggests that the eastern strand of the lower Tagus Valley fault zone is the most likely seismic source for earthquake, amongst those proposed in the literature.

Published: December 2022

La adultez emergente es un período de transición que plantea múltiples demandas psicosociales que pueden afectar la salud mental y el bienestar de las personas. El objetivo general de este trabajo fue analizar las conexiones entre bienestar general, ansiedad y gratitud según las percepciones de la adultez. Los participantes fueron 344 venezolanos y venezolanas (69,19% mujeres) con una edad media de 22 años, seleccionados mediante muestreo no probabilístico. Los datos se recogieron mediante un formulario online que incluía: Escala de bienestar PERMA, Cuestionario de gratitud-6, Escala de ansiedad ANSILET y una pregunta abierta sobre la autopercepción de la edad adulta. Los resultados mostraron: niveles medios de bienestar general, ansiedad y gratitud en la muestra; diferencias estadísticamente significativas para bienestar y gratitud entre las mujeres, con un tamaño del efecto pequeño; aumentos significativos en la gratitud y el bienestar durante el recentrado del adulto emergente, y una disminución significativa de la ansiedad (en comparación con las etapas de la adolescencia tardía y extendida); correlaciones negativas significativas entre ansiedad y bienestar general, gratitud y percepción de la edad adulta, y correlaciones positivas significativas para el resto de las variables del estudio. También se encontró que el recentrado del adulto emergente tenía un papel predictivo en relación con el bienestar, la gratitud y la ansiedad tratadas como covariables en el modelo. Se concluye que las percepciones de recentramiento son una variable importante para explicar la salud mental, la gratitud, la ansiedad y el bienestar en el proceso de la edad adulta emergente.

An analysis of the clinical manifestations of complications caused by the toxic effect of chemotherapeutic drugs used in the treatment of malignant neoplasms was carried out. The variety of clinical symptoms that develop against the background of chemotherapy for malignant neoplasms leads to difficulties in differential diagnosis of a primary neurological disease and the identification of complications during treatment. The severity of these complications depends on a number of factors, including the drug used, its dosage and duration of use, the use of various methods of combination therapy and radiation methods, as well as the presence of comorbid pathology in patients. A clear understanding of the mechanisms of development of neurotoxicity and timely diagnosis of such conditions is a priority task of modern clinical medicine Modern methods of treating patients with malignant neoplasms should be based on a multidisciplinary medical approach, including a set of measures to prevent unwanted toxic effects of treatment, stratify individual mortality risks and develop methods of rehabilitation and medical examination.

Aim      To compare variables of transthoracic EchoCG for determining echocardiographic predictors and their prognostic role in the development of persistent paroxysmal ventricular tachyarrhythmias (VT) in patients with ischemic CHF who had been implanted with a cardioverter defibrillator (CD) for primary prevention of sudden cardiac death.

Material and methods  This single-site prospective study included 176 patients with CHF of ischemic origin aged 58.7±7.4 years with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LV EF) of 30 % [25; 34] % who had been implanted with CD. The follow-up duration was 24 months. The primary endpoint was a newly developed persistent paroxysm of VT (duration ≥30 sec) detected in the “monitored” VT area or a VT paroxysm that required electric treatment. The echocardiographic picture was evaluated by 28 variables. Statistical analysis was performed with the c2, Fisher’s, and Mann—Whitney tests, and the one-factor logistic regression (LR). Prognostic models were developed with a multifactorial LR. The model accuracy was evaluated by 4 metrics: area under the ROC (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic efficacy.

Results The primary endpoint was observed in 60 (34 %) patients. Mean time to a persistent VT episode was 19.2±0.8 months (95 % confident interval (CI): 17.5–20.8). Superior-inferior dimensions of the right and left atria (RA and LA, respectively) and the left atrial volume (LAv) were independent predictors for VT. The odds of VT development in patients of the study cohort increased with RAl ≥4.5 cm (odds ratio (OR), 1.6; 95 % CI: 1.4–1.9; р=0.03), LAl ≥5.5 cm (OR, 2.5; 95 % CI: 1.01–6.1; р=0.04), LAv ≥95 ml (OR, 3.2; 95 % CI: 1.3–17.5; р=0.01). A comprehensive analysis of echocardiographic variables proved the prognostic potential of LAv that was linearly associated with the development of VT. The metrics of the best prognostic model were AUC 0.7±0.07 with 95 % CI: 0.54–0.83; specificity, 20.9 %; sensitivity, 95.7 %; and diagnostic efficacy, 47 %.

Conclusion      This study allowed evaluation of capabilities of transthoracic EchoCG for predicting the probability of VT in patients with CHF of ischemic origin and reduced LV EF. It was shown that linear and volumetric atrial dimensions could be used for stratification of risk of VT and for determining the tactics for primary prevention of sudden cardiac death in this patient category.

O presente artigo é resultante de uma pesquisa que teve por objetivo analisar os itens das provas de Matemática - 8ª série -, do Sistema Nacional de Avaliação da Educação Básica (Saeb), dos anos de 1997 e 1999, considerando-se os seus aspectos qualitativos e quantitativos. Os aspectos qualitativos foram analisados por meio da análise da validade de conteúdo e dos procedimentos efetivos da elaboração dos itens. Os aspectos quantitativos foram analisados, considerando-se as propriedades estatísticas, as quais incluíram procedimentos de análise da Teoria Clássica dos Testes (TCT) e da Teoria de Resposta ao Item (TRI). As análises realizadas mostraram que as avaliações de desempenho, principalmente as de larga escala, devem levar em conta os aspectos psicométricos e pedagógicos dos itens de forma integrada, sem privilégio de nenhuma delas. Dessa forma, constata-se que há uma maior compreensão dos resultados dessas avaliações, os quais poderão reverter em políticas mais adequadas de intervenção na busca da melhoria da qualidade da educação, propósito final do Saeb.
Adolescents’ experiences of identity development in schooling
Authors: Davies Hayley , O'Neill John
Published: December 2022

Teachers, schools, and the wider education system have a responsibility to nurture young people’s identity development and to optimise youth wellbeing. For the study, 10 adolescents shared their experiences and perspectives of identity development and the extent to which their identity impacted on their wellbeing and subsequent learning experiences. The adolescents’ perceptions of identity directly informed the way they felt about themselves and thus impacted directly on their wellbeing. Identity and wellbeing had implications for learners’ dispositions and motivation to learn; students who had a positive sense of identity and wellbeing felt more positively about their learner identity and were more engaged in learning.

This study aimed to describe the established harmony between religion and culture within the traditional Gayo marriage custom. In addition, it determined whether the blending[SM1]  of religion and culture in traditional Gayo marriages adheres to fiqh munākahat. This study was descriptive and qualitative field research using the sociological juridical approach. Interviews and documentation were used as data collection methods. Meanwhile, to identify informants, researchers employed a purposive sampling technique. The important finding of this study was that in traditional Gayo marriages, religion and culture are harmonized appropriately and without coercion. The acculturation of fiqh munākahat evidences harmonization: ta'aruf (introduction), khitbah (proposal), marriage advice, discussions, i'lanu nikah (marriage announcement), and hospitality. The acculturation of the fiqh munākahat concept is found in the procession of the risik kono (introduction of the bride and groom's family), the munginte (proposal), the beguru (giving advice), the betelah (discussion), the segenap and begenap (discussion and family), the mah bai (accompanying the groom) and mah beru (accompanying the bride), mah kero opat ingi (carrying rice for four days) and tanag kul (a visit to the bride's house). Moreover, only two of the five Gayonese marriage customs adhere to the fiqh munākahat: ango/juelen (patrilineal) and kuso now (to and fro) marriages. In contrast, engagement marriages (matrilineal), Naik (eloping) and mah tabak (marriage submission) are not in line with fiqh munākahat.

This research seeks to reveal the multiple roles of working women in realizing family resilience. This research argues that family resilience will determine the resilience of a nation. The research was conducted through interviews and observations on 15 civil servants (PNS) at the State Islamic University (UIN) of Salatiga. They consisted of 6 lecturers, 6 educational staff, and 3 postgraduate students. The results of the study show that women had a central role in realizing family resilience. The multiple roles that women played as a wife, mother, community member, and worker indicate their strong personality. They were women who were able to pursue their family resilience in their own way, depending on the conditions and situations that they faced. They were not only concerned with domestic affairs, but also other affairs in society and at work. They were able to negotiate their multiple roles to maintain their existence without abandoning their role in the family as a wife and mother. Some of the important practices that these women implemented include building communication and openness, implementing the principle of mutuality in carrying out tasks at home, acting smart to seize opportunities and not being monotonous, setting priorities between several tasks or jobs, and increasing spirituality/religiosity and minimizing negative effects of using social media on children.
Lipid disorders – the comparison between general population and haemodialyzed patients. Will the Oral Fat Tolerance Test improve the diagnostic?
Authors: Cader Aleksandra , Stępniewska Joanna , Różański Jacek
Published: December 2022

The cardiovascular events are frequent complications in chronic kidney disease (CKD). In the general population the risk factors of CV disease are well established and divided into two groups: non-modifiable, and modifiable. The best-known modifiable risk factors leading to the atherosclerotic plaque formation are lipid disorders. In comparison, an association between serum lipid profile in haemodialyzed patients and cardiovascular mortality is more complex and still unclear. Furthermore, it is important to note that recent studies suggest an inverse relationship between lipid disorders and CV mortality in a haemodialyzed population called ‘reverse epidemiology’. The disparity between the general and haemodialyzed populations may be supported by the fact that the haemodialysis process itself contributes to the development of dyslipidaemia. Moreover, the chronic kidney disease is associated with metabolic abnormalities which can increase the risk of CVD occurrence. It is estimated that one-third of the patients on haemodialysis have lipid profile abnormalities, the most common one is hypertriglyceridemia. The assessment of the lipid profile has so far been performed in a fasting and non-fasting (postprandial) state, but both of these methods have some limitations. This review evaluates the current knowledge about lipid profile abnormalities in haemodialyzed patients and discusses a potential role of the Oral Fat Tolerance Test (OFTT) as a new tool in clinical practice that may improve the diagnosis of postprandial hypertriglyceridemia.
