The missing link between human ecology and public health: the case of cancer
Authors: Modonesi Carlo , Oddone Enrico , Panizza Celestino , Imbriani Marcello
Published: February 2025

The primary role played by the 'ecological context' in clarifying the causes and dynamics of human health and disease is the topic of this article. It emphasizes that the challenging incidence of cancer and other diseases can be charged primarily to the effects of the worldwide dominant economic model. Human culture may act as a powerful force affecting the environment, biology and health of humans and other species. Human culture can be viewed as a special and extreme case of 'niche construction'. ', where human-specific traits, technologies and beliefs act together. The feedback between human activities and the environment can promote different trends in public health. This should provide the opportunity to rethink the consequences that our economic model produces both on the environment and on physical, mental and social health of our species.

[AIRM Guidelines for the use of Probability of Causation]
Authors: Moccaldi Roberto
Published: February 2025

Probability of Causation (PC) method is largely applied, since it is now the recognized tool to identify the causal nexus not only in compensation claims in insurance sector (for which it was initially used) but also to settle legal disputes both in civil and criminal matters. Thanks to the Italian Association of Medical Radiation Protection (AIRM), PC method has been recently proposed as an aid for the radiation protection occupational physician in medical assessments involving both the mandatory actions that, in case of suspicion of occupational disease, the physician needs to perform (report / complaint / reporting) and the expression of the fitness evaluation in case of return to work after cancer and clinical recovery.For all these uses PC value, calculated through the method, should be used in a flexible manner, and thus lead to different decisions, "modulated" on the basis of purposes and listed contexts; and this not only within the legal framework, but also in the strictly professional one. According to different purposes, different PC values are proposed as a reference for the decisions to be taken.

Purpose:

To evaluate the feasibility of a three-point flanged optic piercing intrascleral fixation technique for replacing a dislocated multifocal intraocular lens (IOL).

Design:

Retrospective cross-sectional study.

Methods:

In total, 13 eyes from 13 patients with a dislocated single-piece C-loop or double C-loop diffractive multifocal IOL were enrolled to undergo dislocated multifocal IOL replacement through three-point flanged optic piercing 120 degrees apart intrascleral fixation using 7-0 polypropylene sutures at 2.5 mm posterior to the limbus. Preoperative and postoperative uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), postoperative uncorrected intermediate visual acuity (UIVA) at 66 cm, uncorrected near visual acuity (UNVA) at 40 cm, residual refractive errors, and the amount of IOL decentration were evaluated.

Results:

There were six multifocal IOLs and seven multifocal toric IOLs. There was a notable improvement in visual acuity, with the mean UDVA improving from 0.79 ± 0.72 logMAR preoperatively to 0.06 ± 0.08 logMAR postoperatively (P = 0.004). The mean postoperative UIVA and UNVA were 0.04 ± 0.05 and 0.10 ± 0.12 logMAR, respectively. The mean residual refractive sphere, cylinder, and spherical equivalent were −0.04 ± 0.48 D, −0.29 ± 0.25 CD, and −0.18 ± 0.47 D, respectively. The mean residual cylinder was −0.25 ± 0.25 CD in eyes with multifocal toric IOL fixation. The mean amount of IOL decentration was 0.22 ± 0.05 mm.

Conclusion:

The three-point flanged optic piercing intrascleral fixation technique for dislocated multifocal IOLs could provide good distance, intermediate, and near vision alongside excellent IOL centration.

Authors: Shahin Moualla , Schmoeckel Julian , Splieth Christian , Mourad Mhd Said
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Aim:

This study aims primarily to investigate the characteristics of pediatric patients seeking emergency dental care and the according treatment in a specialized dental service and secondly to propose a data-based guidance for the management of dental emergencies in children.

Materials and Methods:

Records of the demographic and clinical characteristics of 332 children who attended specialized dental clinics seeking emergency dental care were collected. Statistical analysis was carried out. Based on the data, a proposal for management of emergency/pain patients was introduced.

Results:

Pain patients were high caries risk children (mean: 4.59 ± 3.65 dmft, 1.65 ± 2.73 DMFT). The main clinical diagnoses of pain patients in all different age groups were dental caries (63.6%). In general, the most frequent treatment was extraction (41.0%), and the most of these extractions needed to be performed under sedation (57.3%). Based on the analyzed data, a proposal for the management of emergency/pain patients was formulated.

Conclusion:

Dental caries was the main cause of emergency or pain-related dental visits among children, with tooth extraction under sedation being the common treatment. It is essential for general practitioners and specialized pedodontists to construct a treatment plan that not only manages the patient’s pain but also considers the long-term effects of the treatment on the patient’s future cooperation.

Authors: Shabana Nevine M. Abou , Elsayed Heba S. , Saleh Norhan E. , Barakat Khouloud M. , Ghanem Sara F.
Published: February 2025

Information on the use of levamisole as feed additive in the production of marine fish larvae is scarce and no data is available for sea bass larvae. The current contribution highlights the effects of levamisole incorporation in sea bass larval diet on its survival rate, growth performance, proximate analysis, intestinal histology and disease resistance against the pathogenic Vibrio anguillarum. Larvae were assigned to four treatments (L0, L1, L2, L3) with different levels of levamisole (0, 100, 200 and 300 mg kg-1 diet), respectively. Fish were allocated into four triplicated groups of larvae per treatment. The diets were fed to sea bass post larvae (0.18±0.003 g) for 56 days. During the experimental period, no deaths were reported. Then, larvae were challenged with V. anguillarum, two weeks post-treatment. Results demonstrated a significant enhancement (P<0.05) in growth performance, feed efficiency, crude protein and lipid contents of larvae fed 200 mg kg-1 levamisole supplemented diet. The highest larval survival rate (80%) was also reported in L2 after V. anguillarum challenge. Histological sections of the intestinal tract in fish fed L2 demonstrated the greatest improvement in the length and width of the villi with the highest incidence of scattered goblet cells in the lamina propria and the most marked increase in the branching of mucosal folds and muscularis thickness than their corresponding in the other groups. Thus, the current results demonstrated that administration of 200 mg levamisole kg-¹ diet would be optimum for enhancing survival rate, growth performance, proximate analysis, improving the intestinal architecture, and immunity of sea bass larvae.

Authors: Irizato Mariko , Minamiguchi Kiyoyuki , Fujita Yasuko , Yamaura Hidekazu , Onaya Hiroaki , Taiji Ryosuke , Tanaka Toshihiro , Inaba Yoshitaka
Published: February 2025

BACKGROUND

Gastric adenocarcinoma with enteroblastic differentiation (GAED) is one of the common subtypes of alpha-foetoprotein (AFP)-producing gastric cancer. GAED frequently results in venous invasion and liver metastasis, the latter being particularly linked to a poor prognosis. So far, the evidence for liver metastases from AFP-producing gastric cancer is only focused on those from gastric hepatoid adenocarcinoma, owing to their imaging similarities with hepatocellular carcinoma. This case report describes the characteristic diagnostic imaging findings of liver metastasis from GAED.

CASE SUMMARY

A 65-year-old man who had undergone a pyloric gastrectomy for GAED two years ago was found to have a liver tumor in the hepatic segment 7, accompanied by elevated serum AFP levels. Dynamic contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed the tumor showing peripheral-dominant enhancement in the arterial phase with persistent central enhancement in the delayed phase. Gadolinium-ethoxybenzyl-diethylenetriamine penta-acetic acid-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a signal drop in the tumor periphery in chemical shift imaging, along with arterial enhancement. Additionally, rim-like hypointensity surrounding the tumor was observed in the hepatobiliary phase. Postresection examination confirmed the tumor to be a metastasis from GAED. Histopathological examination revealed severe invasion of the tumor into the portal vein and hepatic vein surrounding the tumor, which explained the imaging features.

CONCLUSION

The imaging features of blood flow alternations resulting from vascular invasion may be crucial to diagnosing liver metastases from GAED.

Published: February 2025

BACKGROUND

Angiostrongylus cantonensis -induced acute parasitic infection is a rare food-borne disease in clinical practice. Lack of its specific laboratory markers and subsequent difficulty in detecting pathogens cause high misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis rates.

CASE SUMMARY

A 20-year-old male developed persistent neck and back pain after consuming raw snail meat, followed by urinary retention and low fever. After admission, the patient was misdiagnosed as viral infection and Mycobacterium tuberculosis in central nervous system. After detection of Angiostrongylus cantonensis in blood and cerebrospinal fluid by metagenomics next generation sequencing, albendazole was administered with ceftriaxone and methylprednisolone treatment simultaneously. With effective antiparasitic treatment, the patient weaned from mechanical ventilation successfully and transferred out of intensive care unit for hyperbaric oxygen and rehabilitation treatment.

CONCLUSION

This case highlights the diagnostic challenges of Angiostrongylus cantonensis infection and the importance of advanced sequencing techniques in identifying rare pathogens.

Authors: Hasan Bashar , Lafta Rahi Mahdi , Olewi Irhayyim Ahmed , Abdolkarim Hassan Tawfiq
Published: February 2025

Introduction: Despite modern surgical techniques that allow the knee to return to its normal position before the injury, returning to sports activities at a level similar to what the player was in is still a major challenge.
Objective The purpose of this paper is to set numerical limits based on standardized tests for athletes to return to sports safely after surgery.
Methodology: The sample’s study consisted of (20) injured athletes who underwent surgery for the anterior cruciate ligament and underwent rehabilitation at the specialized center for physical therapy and physical rehabilitation for a full year regularly and without interruption.
Results: The current study showed through the results achieved that the difference in the means between the two legs (the injured leg with the healthy leg) is very small, in addition to the torsion coefficient being limited between (±1) and Levene's coefficient being greater than the significance level (0.05), which means that there are no significant differences between the two legs (injured and uninjured).
Discussion: The results of the research should be contrasted with those of other research found in the literature.
Conclusions: The researchers concluded that there is high reliability for the tests used when evaluating the injured after cruciate ligament reconstruction because the results obtained indicated that the injured limbs were similar to the healthy limbs, which enables coaches and sports rehabilitation specialists to rely on these tests as an indicator to judge the return of injured players to sports safely after surgery.

Authors: Efendi Aco Wahyudi
Published: February 2025

In initiatives to enhance the quality of infrastructure, especially with regard to building stability and the avoidance of structural failure, the safety and comfort of visitors has taken center stage. In order to improve infrastructure, older or decaying buildings are frequently reinforced or renovated. This may entail repairing accumulated damage without requiring total demolition. In order to guarantee the structure's dependability and safety, these remodeling initiatives require careful assessment and study. Concerns over apparent settlement of the Ibu dan Anak Hospital building in Samarinda have been brought up, highlighting the significance of assessing structural integrity to guarantee ongoing safety and functionality. The purpose of this study is to conduct a thorough structural audit of the building in order to find any possible hazards and suggest any necessary improvements.
The study assessment the building's stability and forecasts future settlement by simulating its behavior under various circumstances, including dynamic and static load scenarios, using sophisticated modeling software such as GEOSLOPE-GEOSTUDIO (Student Version). According to the aforementioned analytical results, there are signs that the hard soil layer is not reached by the pile depth, which causes settlement. Over the course of the following year, the settlement increased from 15.89 cm in the first 178 days to 17.64 cm. The analysis indicates that the settlement will stay at 31.65 cm for the next five years, therefore after 1,780 days, it is deemed stable.
THE FORMULA “THE CHERRY ORCHARD” IN ROMAN TYAGUNOV’S POEM“NOBODY IS GUILTY OF ANYTHING...”: ON CULTURAL CLICHES IN ARTISTIC CONTEXTS
Authors: DOMANSKII YURI V.
Published: February 2025

The article examines the title formula “the cherry orchard” in Roman Tyagunov’s poem “Nobody is guilty of anything…”, which goes back to Chekhov’s last play. Like many formulas of this kind, formulas taken from the titles of classical literary texts, this formula has largely lost its semantic connection with the source text - Chekhov’s comedy - but has become an independent formulaic text in subsequent culture, a cultural cliché with its own meanings, which often depend on the contexts where the classical formula falls. In Tyagunov’s poem, the formula “the cherry orchard” is associated with the interaction of the subject (who, given that the poem in question is part of the cycle “Poetry of Suicide. Farewell Verses”, can be designated as a role-playing subject) and the addressee. The grammatical forms of their explication allow us to conclude that the subject is a man and the addressee is a woman; and their relationship is based on the fact that the cherry orchard donated by the addressee is destroyed by the subject; or the addressee gives a new cherry orchard to the subject in exchange for the cut down one. But in any case, the conclusion suggests itself about the special role of the cherry orchard in structuring subject-address relations; the formula under consideration acts in the poem as a motive thatforms the lyrical plot, which, as is known, is built on the interaction of the chorotope and the subject structure. In culture, the formula “cherry orchard” is a nomination of a place associated with a happy past that is gone forever, that is, it acts as a strictly chronotopic motive. In Tyagunov’s poem, this cultural cliché, being realized in the relations between the subject and the addressee, forms the artistic transmission of the author’s emotion, which is based on saying goodbye to life of one’s own free will.
