Published: August 2021

In this article the perturbed Gerdjikov-Ivanov (GI)-equation which acts for the dynamics of propagation of solitons is employed. The balanced modified extended tanh-function and the non-balanced Riccati-Bernoulli Sub-ODE methods are used for the first time to obtain the new optical solitons of this equation. The obtained results give an accuracy interpretation of the propagation of solitons. We held a comparison between our results and those are in the previous work. The efficiency of these methods for constructing the exact solutions has been demonstrated. It is shown that these different technique's reduces the large volume of calculations.

Published: August 2021

There are many studies of single lung ventilation (SLV), which are mostly limited to reducing lung damage by changing ventilation strategies or comparing differences in lung damage caused by different lung isolation devices. There is no study comparing the morphological changes of ventilated lungs using different strategies of artificial lung ventilation. The aim of the study was to examine pathomorphological changes in the ventilated lung during thoracic surgery using SLV. A randomized study was performed on 40 patients who underwent thoracic surgery using SLV. After signing the informed consent, the patients were divided into two groups. In the control group (40 patients) with ventilation “by volume” (VCV), in the study group – ventilation “by pressure” (PCV) with the addition of PEEP 5 mm. During surgery in the thoracic cavity with the help of SLV performed transbronchial biopsy of the parenchyma of the ventilated lung to study the pathomorphological changes after ventilation with different modes. The biopsy was performed using a bronchoscope, which was inserted through the endotracheal tube into the lung, opposite the side of the operation (after the end of SLV and “inclusion” of the collapsed lung). The morphological changes caused by the ventilator were investigated. Pathomorphological examination of the non-collapsed lung (which participated in gas exchange during SLV) was as follows: the control group found significant changes in the alveolar wall with its edema, thickening of the interstitial lung, vascular occlusion, severe inflammatory cell infiltration and damage to alveolar structures. The alveoli collapsed and disappeared. The alveolar structures of the study group were better than the control group: pulmonary interstitial and alveolar exudates, as well as inflammatory cell infiltration were significantly reduced compared to those in the control group. The results of the study suggest that the use of PCV with “moderate” PEEP can significantly improve oxygenation and reduce acute ventilatory injury of the lungs compared to VCV during SLV.

Widespread use of antibiotics in clinical practice leads to the development of antibiotic resistance and encourages the search for new ways of modulation of their therapeutic effect. One of the potentially successful modulators may be Hydrogen sulfide, but the mechanisms of its action require careful studies, including toxicological. The aim of the study was to study the effect of Hydrogen sulfide levels on the embryotoxicity and fetotoxicity of oral and intravaginal Clindamycin phosphate administration. The experimental study was performed on 60 pregnant female rats, which were divided into 6 experimental groups: group 1 – control group; group 2 – high level of serum Hydrogen sulfide; group 3 – Clindamycin phosphate intravaginally; group 4 – Clindamycin phosphate intravaginally with high level of serum Hydrogen sulfide; group 5 – Clindamycin phosphate orally; group 6 – Clindamycin phosphate orally with high level of serum Hydrogen sulfide. We studied the dynamics of weight gain in pregnant rats, the number of corpora lutea, the number of implantation sites in the uterus, the number of live and dead fetuses, preimplantation and postimplantation mortality, as well as the dynamics of body weight gain and mental development of offspring. Artificially increasing the serum level of Hydrogen sulfide in pregnant rats led to an increase in maternal weight gain, an increase in the weight and cranio-caudal size of embryos, as well as a decrease in the number of resorbed fetuses and postimplantation mortality. The insignificant toxic effect of high doses of oral Clindamycin phosphate was leveled in the group with elevated indices of serum Hydrogen sulfide. Rats born to females with elevated levels of serum Hydrogen sulfide showed faster rates of weight gain and normal mental development according to the “open field” test.
Regression models of teleroentgenograhic indicators of the position of teeth and the profile of face soft tissues in juvenile aged persons with different face types according to Schwarz A.M.
Authors: Prokopenko O.S.
Published: August 2021

Considering the differences in the values of teleroentgenograhic (TRG) indicators in different racial, gender, ethnic, age, population, geographical population groups and numerical methods of TRG analysis, determination of normative values of cephalometric, gnatometric TRG-indicators, their interdependencies in the population of different countries is extremely important both for human anatomy and for the practice of dentists. This fully applies to residents of Ukraine of different age groups. The aim of the work is to develop and analyze regression models of teleroentgenograhic indicators of tooth position and facial soft tissue profile according to Schwarz A.M. in Ukrainian young men and young women with different facial types. Lateral teleroentgenograms of 49 young men (aged 17 to 21 years) and 76 young women (aged 16 to 20 years) with physiological occlusion as close as possible to orthognathic were analyzed. In the license package “Statistica 6.0” regression models of indicators of position of teeth and profile of soft tissues of the face according to the method of Schwarz A.M. depending on basic cephalometric and gnatometric indicators separately for boys and for girls with different types of the face are constructed. In young men, 16 of the 24 possible reliable regression models were constructed, in which the coefficient of determination is greater than 0.6 (R2=from 0.609 to 0.998). For young men with 1st (back face type) and 3rd (front face type) face types, the following models were created with respect to 5 indicators from 8 possible (respectively, angles Max1-SpP S-arz, distances Sn-Pn and Pog’-Por, angles Gl’LsPog’ and SnPog’-Pn; R2 = from 0.609 to 0.998 and angles Max1-SpP S-arz and Mand1-MP Schwars, distances Sn-Pn and Pog’-Por, angle Gl’LsPog’; R2 = from 0.609 to 0.946), and for young men with 2nd face types (average face type according to Schwarz AM) – for 6 indicators (angles Max1-SpP S-arz and Mand1-MP Schwars, distances Sn-Pn and Pog’-Por, angles Gl’LsPog’and SnPog’-Pn; R2 = from 0.690 to 0.990). In young women, 17 of the 24 possible reliable models with R2 greater than 0.6 (R2 = 0.628 to 0.958) were constructed. For young women with 1st type of face 6 indicators are modeled – angles Max1-SpP S-arz, distances Sn-Pn and Pog’-Por, angles Gl’LsPog’and SnPog’-Pn, the distance of Li-SnPog’(R2= from 0.663 to 0.958). For young women with 2nd face type, the following models were created for 7 indicators – angles Max1-SpP S-arz and Mand1-MP Schwars, distances Sn-Pn and Pog’-Por, angles Gl’LsPog’ and SnPog’-Pn, distances Li-SnPog’(R2= from 0.628 to 0.891). For young women with 3rd face type the smallest number of models with R2 larger than 0.6 was built, compared to all groups of persons with different face types – only 4 models for Max1-SpP S-arz angle, Pog’-Por distance, angles Gl’LsPog’ and SnPog’-Pn (R2 from 0.718 to 0.847).

An important element of evidence-based medicine is to take into account the individual variability of the indicators of the norm of intervertebral discs, which is undoubtedly the basis for early preclinical detection of their pathology. Mathematical modeling and comprehensive assessment of the parameters of the intervertebral discs can not only predict and determine the early manifestations of pathological changes, but also help to correct them in advance. The aim of the study was to calculate and evaluate the variability of absolute, calculated and relative metric parameters of intervertebral discs in the norm with the subsequent possibility of modeling standards based on individual linear dimensions of intervertebral discs of the lumbar spine and general anthropometric characteristics (body length and weight) in young men and men of the first period of adulthood (17-28 years), both in separate age groups and in the combined group. The series of MRI scans obtained on a Phillips Achieva 1.5T scanner measured the anterior, middle and posterior vertical dimensions, maximum sagittal and frontal dimensions of the intervertebral discs L1-L2, L2-L3, L3-L4, L4-L5 segments of the spine (IVDL1-L2, IVDL2-L3, IVDL3-L4, IVDL4- L5). We calculated the average height of the intervertebral discs, cross-sectional area and volume of intervertebral discs, as well as relative indicators - the ratio of the sum of sagittal and transverse dimensions, the sum of three dimensions, cross-sectional area and volume of intervertebral discs to the average intervertebral disc height. Statistical analysis of the obtained morphometric parameters was performed in the license package “STATISTICA 6.1”. The distribution of variation series indicators, their average values and standard errors, coefficients of variation and asymmetry were evaluated. It was determined that the sums of the transverse and sagittal sizes and the sums of the three sizes increase proportionally in the caudal direction, have a distribution of indicators as close as possible to normal, and their coefficients of variation are many times smaller than for cross-sectional areas and volumes. Indicators of the ratio of the sum of the sagittal and transverse size and the sum of the three sizes to the average height of the intervertebral discs have a variability of less than 10% and correspond to the characteristics of the general population. Body weight and length have significantly higher correlation coefficients with the sums of sagittal and transverse dimensions, the sums of three dimensions and cross-sectional areas than with the partial dimensions of the intervertebral discs.
Quantitative changes in the microstructure of the pancreas under the influence of sublethal dehydration, subsequent readaptation and correction
Authors: Kovchun V.Yu.
Published: August 2021

Dehydration is a pathological condition caused by insufficient water intake and is accompanied by metabolic disorders that have significant consequences for human health and performance. The endocrine system takes part in a number of functions of the water exchange system, optimizing body fluid volume. In the literature, there is no systematic data on changes in the pancreas under conditions of various types of dehydration. This article is devoted to the study of structural changes in the pancreas in conditions of sublethal degrees of various types of dehydration, followed by readaptation and correction with a drug that has anti-ischemic, membrane-stabilizing, antioxidant, hepatoprotective and immunomodulatory properties that allow to normalize protein, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. The purpose of the study was to research the features of changes in the endocrine and exocrine parenchyma of the pancreas by the method of morphometry of histological preparations under conditions of sublethal dehydration with subsequent readaptation and correction with thiazotic acid morpholinium salt. The study group consisted of 60 mature male rats, which were simulated sublethal degree of general, cellular and extracellular dehydration by the method of A.D.Soboleva, V.Z.Sikora, J.Ya.Bodnar. After reaching a severe degree of dehydration, part of the rats were transferred to a regular drinking diet, the second part received a corrector drug for 14 days. The animals were withdrawn from the experiment by decapitation under anesthesia on 24th, 44th and 104th days in accordance with the type of dehydration. After analyzing the results obtained, it was found that there were no significant differences in most morphometric parameters under conditions of exposure to sublethal dehydration in comparison with subsequent readaptation. Significant changes in the area of the islets of Langerhans and the area of nuclei of exocrinocytes were revealed under conditions of exposure to various types of sublethal dehydration in comparison with readaptation and correction; in all experimental groups. Other morphometric parameters of the pancreatic parenchyma had changes of varying statistical significance, which depended on the type of dehydration. It has been established that the use of the thiazotic acid morpholinium salt leads to partial restoration of the structural components of the pancreatic parenchyma in comparison with the period of readaptation.

Published: August 2021

Objectives: We recently examined the utility of flow cytometric analysis in the diagnosis of nodular
lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (NLPHL) by examining reactive T-cell features. This study
aims to compare these features in sequential biopsies of persistent or recurrent lymphadenopathy in patients
with NLPHL.
Methods: We reanalysed the histopathology and flow cytometry findings of 9 patients with multiple
biopsies for persistent or recurrent lymphadenopathy and either initial or recurrent NLPHL. A flow
cytometry signature was considered suggestive of NLPHL if ≥12% of T-cells expressed CD57 or ≥3% of
T-cells co-expressed CD4 and CD8.
Results: A flow cytometry signature considered suggestive of NLPHL was seen in 18 of 20 specimens.
Based on histopathology, 11 were diagnosed as NLPHL, 3 were initially underdiagnosed as atypical
lymphoid proliferation, and 4 were initially incorrectly diagnosed as negative or progressive transformation
of germinal centers. Flow cytometry showed similar expression patterns of CD57 and CD4/CD8 in T-cells
between initial and subsequent biopsies. The remaining 2 specimens lacked the flow cytometry signature
suggestive of NLPHL and were histopathologically diagnosed as reactive hyperplasia.
Conclusion: Flow cytometry analysis based on our criteria is highly sensitive in detecting NLPHL.
Correlation with the cytospin cytology may increase the diagnostic specificity. A negative flow essentially
ruled out the possibility of NHLPHL.

The processes of globalization, technology improvement and increasing competition put banks and insurance companies in need of increasing and changing the range of their services. The requirement to increase the level of profitability of their own activities stimulates the integration processes of banks and insurance companies and is one of the options to increase the supply of financial assets and increase demand for them. Was determined that when considering the integration processes between banks and insurance companies, it is important to study such areas of cooperation as the joint formation and use of financial resources, the creation of joint financial products and the conduct of joint marketing policy. During the analysis was proved, that bank deposits occupy the largest share among all other financial instruments and, as a result, provide insurers with the largest share of financial income, and investing in the capital of insurance companies remains a priority source of credit and investment resources for banks. The article proves that in Ukraine the most promising in the functioning of banks and insurance companies is a form of cooperation such as banсassurance, as the population has a greater demand for banking products and trusts more banks than insurance companies do. This concept of cooperation will lead to a synergistic effect, i.e. the demand for the purchase of one product (banking) will facilitate the purchase of another (insurance), which is the main purpose of bancassurance. The study identified the main benefits of cooperation between banks and insurance companies, including increased service because of a combination of banking and insurance products, providing non-traditional banking services, creating sources of additional income, reducing the cost of certain insurance services.
Educating Women, Recasting Patriarchy
Authors: Terem Etty
Published: August 2021

This article explores the development of reformist thought and the formulation of modern identities in colonial Morocco. In seeking to move beyond conceptualizing ideas of social reorganization and cultural revival as determined by the encounter between the colonizer and the colonized, it shifts the critical focus to interactions within Moroccan colonial society itself. Specifically, it situates a project of reform in girls’ education within a local and broader debate on the effective formula for educational and pedagogic restructuring that would ensure the advance of the Muslim community. This analysis demonstrates that ideas of social change and cultural innovation in colonial Morocco were shaped by divides and disputes among Moroccans themselves as much as by the colonial state and its policy initiatives.
Transnational Intimacies and the Construction of the New Nation
Authors: Kallander Amy
Published: August 2021

This article examines love as a facet of nation building in constructions of modern womanhood and national identity in the 1950s and 1960s. In Tunisia and France, romantic love was evoked to define an urban, middle-class modernity in which the gender norms implicit in companionate marriage signaled a break with the past. These ideals were represented in fiction and women's magazines and elaborated in the novel genre of the advice column. Yet this celebration was interrupted by concern about “mixed marriage” and the rise of anti-immigrant discrimination targeting North Africans in France. Referring to race or religion, debates about interracial marriage in Tunisia and the sexual stereotyping of North African men in France reveal the continuity of colonialism's racial legacies upon postcolonial states. The idealization of marital choice as a testament to individual and national modernity was destabilized by transnational intimacies revealing the limits of the nation-state's liberatory promise to women.

An ACGME-based comparison of neurosurgical and orthopedic resident training in adult spine surgery via a case volume and hours-based analysis
Authors: Lad Meeki , Gupta Raghav , Para Ashok , Gupta Arjun , White Michael D. , Agarwal Nitin , Moore Justin M. , Heary Robert F.
Published: August 2021

OBJECTIVE

In a 2014 analysis of orthopedic and neurological surgical case logs published by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), it was reported that graduating neurosurgery residents performed more than twice the number of spinal procedures in their training compared with graduating orthopedic residents. There has, however, been no follow-up assessment of this trend. Moreover, whether this gap in case volume equates to a similar gap in procedural hours has remained unstudied. Given the association between surgical volume and outcomes, evaluating the status of this disparity has value. Here, the authors assess trends in case volume and procedural hours in adult spine surgery for graduating orthopedic and neurological surgery residents from 2014 to 2019.

METHODS

A retrospective analysis of ACGME case logs from 2014 to 2019 for graduating orthopedic and neurological surgery residents was conducted for adult spine surgeries. Case volume was converted to operative hours by using periprocedural times from the 2019 Medicare/Medicaid Physician Fee Schedule. Graduating residents’ spinal cases and hours, averaged over the study period, were compared between the two specialties by using 2-tailed Welch’s unequal variances t-tests (α = 0.05). Longitudinal trends in each metric were assessed by linear regression followed by cross-specialty comparisons via tests for equality of slopes.

RESULTS

From 2014 to 2019, graduating neurosurgical residents logged 6.8 times as many spinal cases as their orthopedic counterparts, accruing 431.6 (95% CI 406.49–456.61) and 63.8 (95% CI 57.08–70.56) cases (p < 0.001), respectively. Accordingly, graduating neurosurgical residents logged 6.1 times as many spinal procedural hours as orthopedic surgery residents, accruing 1020.7 (95% CI 964.70–1076.64) and 166.6 (95% CI 147.76–185.35) hours (p < 0.001), respectively. Over these 5 years, both fields saw a linear increase in graduating residents’ adult spinal case volumes and procedural hours, and these growth rates were higher for neurosurgery (+16.2 cases/year vs +4.4 cases/year, p < 0.001; +36.4 hours/year vs +12.4 hours/year, p < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS

Graduating neurosurgical residents accumulated substantially greater adult spinal case volumes and procedural hours than their orthopedic counterparts from 2014 to 2019. This disparity has been widened by a higher rate of growth in adult spinal cases among neurosurgery residents. Accordingly, targeted efforts to increase spinal exposure for orthopedic surgery residents—such as using cross-specialty collaboration—should be explored.

Authors: Bojulaia Maryam , Pleasants Brandy
Published: August 2021

Creativity is a fundamental skill that needs to be promoted in order to develop individuals’ economic and social status. Formal education is an appropriate place to enhance creativity. Therefore, international governments and educational administrators have been paying more attention to creativity in the educational context. In contrast, there are many concerns regarding the lack of students' creative thinking. In particular, the Saudi Ministry of education acknowledged that their educational system struggles with a weak environment that hinders creativity. Thus, the Saudi Ministry of Education aims to enhance creativity as one of its main educational goals of the Saudi 2030 vision. This paper aims to assess Saudi high school STEM teachers’ understanding of creativity, as they are a key component for enhancing creativity in the school environment. The study was conducted in Saudi Arabia with nine Saudi high school STEM teachers. The qualitative data collection strategy included semi-structured interviews. The analysis approach was a priori coding based on the review of the theoretical foundations for creativity and innovation in European education. The analysis shows that Saudi high school STEM teachers have various definitions of creativity. Participants valued creative students by providing opportunities and establishing positive relationships with them. Teachers claimed they practiced creativity through instructional practices that engage students’ participation in the learning process. Participants were not satisfied with their professional development or the technical support provided by the Saudi Ministry of Education. The study results suggest further exploration and recommendations that enrich the research area of creativity in STEM education.
