Published: August 2024

La coinfección de tuberculosis (TB) y el virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana (VIH) tienen una relación bidireccional. En una dirección, la tuberculosis acelera la progresión del VIH hacia el síndrome de inmunodeficiencia adquirida, aumentando la carga viral y la mortalidad. En sentido opuesto, la infección por VIH ocasiona disminución en los niveles de linfocitos T CD4, afectando así la presentación clínica y el curso de la tuberculosis. El presente estudio tuvo por objetivo analizar la coinfección de tuberculosis y virus de inmunodeficiencia humana: prevalencia, manifestaciones clínicas y pruebas diagnósticas de laboratorio, mediante una metodología de diseño documental tipo descriptiva. Se evidenció que el país con mayor prevalencia de esta coepidemia fue Perú con un 39.07%, el sexo que predominó fue el masculino con una edad entre 30-44 años; los síntomas más recurrentes presentados fueron: fiebre, falta de apetito, pérdida de peso, dolor de cabeza y fatiga. Las pruebas de laboratorio para el diagnóstico de la tuberculosis fueron: baciloscopia, GeneXpert y cultivo bacteriano, para VIH fueron: ELISA o prueba rápida y recuento normal de células CD4. Se concluyó que, la coinfección representa un riesgo grave para el paciente, dado que ambas enfermedades se afectan mutuamente, debilitando el sistema inmunológico y manifestando un deterioro tanto físico como mental en el individuo afectado. Diagnosticar la coinfección podría resultar desafiante, ya que los síntomas tienden a superponerse o camuflarse entre ambas enfermedades. Por ende, se hizo necesario llevar a cabo una evaluación meticulosa que incluya pruebas específicas para cada una de las patologías.

Authors: Pareja Helen Brambila Jorge , Neto Gersio Cayres Pinheiro , De Freitas Maria Julia Elias , Pazinato Tiago Lyria da Silva , Da Cruz Manuela minatti Fernandez
Published: August 2024

Introdução: A colecistite aguda (CA) é uma inflamação da vesícula biliar frequentemente causada pela obstrução do ducto cístico por cálculos biliares, responsável por 90-95% dos casos. Complicações incluem gangrena, perfuração da vesícula e empiema, que ocorre em 6,3-26,6% dos casos complicados e pode evoluir para sepse se não tratado prontamente. O empiema da vesícula é mais comum em homens e idosos, especialmente com comorbidades. Sintomas incluem dor no quadrante superior direito, febre e náuseas. Diagnóstico envolve ultrassonografia, tomografia computadorizada e exames laboratoriais. Tratamento imediato com antibióticos e remoção ou drenagem da vesícula. Cirurgia laparoscópica é preferida. Objetivo: Demonstrar a importância do diagnóstico e tratamento adequado no empiema de vesícula. Métodos: A partir de um caso médico ocorrido na Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Presidente Prudente, e seu prontuário, foram coletadas informações para realização desse relato. Resultados: O empiema da vesícula biliar apresenta sintomas como dor aguda no quadrante superior direito, febre, náuseas, irradiação da dor para as costas e ombro, e sinal de Murphy positivo. Com o agravamento, surgem febre alta, calafrios e sinais de sepse. No caso relatado, a paciente estava afebril, dificultando o diagnóstico de empiema. Foi realizada uma colecistectomia videolaparoscópica, o padrão de tratamento para cálculos biliares. Conclusão: O tratamento imediato com antibióticos parenterais e remoção ou drenagem urgente da vesícula biliar é essencial para evitar complicações graves e morte. A colecistectomia laparoscópica é o padrão de tratamento, oferecendo vantagens como redução e menor custo médico.

Published: August 2024

Introdução: A colecistite corresponde a uma condição inflamatória da vesícula biliar que pode variar entre uma condição controlada até uma condição potencialmente fatal. Fístulas gastrointestinais são complicações cirúrgicas graves que podem ocorrer de diversas formas clínicas e são responsáveis por aumentar a morbimortalidade dos procedimentos cirúrgicos. A complicação da colecistite por fistula no trato gastrointestinal apresenta manifestações clínicas variáveis e inespecíficas, e seu diagnóstico muitas vezes é realizado incidentalmente no perioperatório da sua causa base e o tratamento se baseia na retirada da vesícula biliar e correção da fístula. Objetivo: Demonstrar a importância de um diagnóstico precoce frente a uma colecistite prevenindo assim possíveis complicações, como uma fistula. Métodos: A partir de um caso médico ocorrido na Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Presidente Prudente, e seu prontuário, foram coletadas informações para realização desse relato. Resultados: Tendo em vista que o diagnóstico da neoplasia na vesícula biliar é realizado em momento pós-operatório e seu tratamento é precisamente cirúrgico, opta-se por colecistectomia videolaparoscópica como modalidade terapêutica, mesmo que as indicações definitivas desse método ainda sejam controversas. Conclusão: A colecistite agravada por tumor tem um prognóstico difícil devido a fatores como a biologia agressiva do tumor, posição anatômica da vesícula biliar e diagnóstico tardio, que quando associados aos antecedentes pessoais de risco podem levar a complicações como formação de fístulas gastrointestinais. Portanto, é crucial um diagnóstico precoce, utilizando de exames histológicos ou de imagem e um tratamento cirúrgico adequado, assim como um acompanhamento pós-operatório para garantir uma recuperação sem complicações.
Corporate Social Responsibility: Evolution, Controversies, and Practical Implications for SinoAfrica Relations: A Meta-Analysis
Authors: Wafula Gideon Makhanu , Minja David
Published: August 2024

social responsibility has gained attention from media, academicians, politicians, practitioners and among business managers globally. More so, the increased economic engagement between China and Africa has heightened concerns about Chinese companies’ social responsibility practices in the region. This article conducts a meta-analytic review of existing relevant literature on the evolution, controversies, and practical implications for corporate social responsibility in Sino-Africa relations. This review investigated the development of social responsibility and identified areas that will inform future studies. The study methodology was hinged on review of relevant articles on CSR and content analysis from of CSR reports from several Chinese companies operating in Africa. In conclusion, the authors argue that there is need for a consensus to have a working definition of corporate social responsibility that suits African perspectives. Furthermore, legislation of CSR in Africa could provide clear guidelines for Chinese companies operating in the region, particularly those that are smaller in size, and therefore do not often publish CSR reports and struggle to meet their CSR commitments.
THE ANALYIS OF AUTHENTICITY IN JEAN-PAUL SARTRE’S PHILOSOPHY
Authors: Lubao Anathory , D. Etriga Rev. Dr. Munguci , Fredrick Wanjala AJ, Dr. Nafula
Published: August 2024

The definition of authenticity is still debated among philosophers and remains mainly obscure in the views of the majority of people. Our culture, for example, has believed for generations that one should “be oneself,” an imperative known as authenticity. The term ‘authenticity’ refers to an agreement between how something appears and what it actually is in all its applications. It implies something true and permanent. Furthermore, the ideal of “being oneself” necessitates the possibility of being “not oneself,” which makes it difficult to imagine how any individual could be anything other than who they are. Jean-Paul Sartre describes authenticity as an ideal ontological state. It is an approach to the predicament and absurdity of human existence as political, social, and metaphysical beings. At the core of Sartre’s conception of freedom is the notion of ‘radical freedom,’ which holds that humans have the capacity to choose whatever life they wish to live, but such a choice is equally forcefully and tied to responsibility. Humans must be able to bear the consequences of their choices in order to be authentically free. Sartre finds such freedom both liberating and frightening. This freedom places upon us the value of introspection, personal choices and the potentially transformative power of accepting the right to live as we choose. This study analyses the ethical relevance of Sartre’s concept of authenticity. We argue that, for authenticity in people’s lives, freedom in their daily endeavors and solidarity in their social and personal lives are indispensable. We pursue this inquiry by distinguishing between authenticity and concepts such as bad faith. We maintain that authenticity must account for personal liberation from the entanglement of societal norms and conventions that may sometimes limit our human potential and creativity. Accordingly, we contend that we can be ourselves by acting in accordance with our necessary dispositions in a given context.
UNRAVELING THE FACTORS BEHIND WATER QUALITY VARIATIONS IN THE MOUNTAINOUS CORUH RIVER VALLEY, NORTHEASTERN TURKEY
Authors: Berk Burcu , Özalp Mehmet
Published: August 2024

Water pollution within mountainous watersheds is recognized as one of the foremost environmental challenges of our era. Extensive research has confirmed that major causes of this pollution are various human activities in natural areas, such as urban expansion, mining operations, and changes in land use. Similar humaninduced impacts can be seen in the Coruh River Basin (CRB) as a result of the building of large dams and roads, mining operations, and urban growth. A thorough investigation is essential to determine the impact of these disturbances on the current surface water quality and to predict the level of water pollution. We chose three subwatersheds, Murgul Creek Watershed (MCW), Fabrika Creek Watershed (FCW), and Hatila Creek Watershed (HCW), within the CRB to assess the effect of disturbances on surface water quality and forecast the level of water pollution. Since each sub-watershed has different land use types and human impacts on it, we expect a different level of water quality status in the three sub-watersheds. Overall, the results demonstrated that apart from the negative impacts of land use type differences on surface water resources, the human-induced degradation clearly has negative impact on the water quality, particularly for some sampling locations and times. In addition, the results revealed that most of the surface water quality parameters in the HCW (mostly forested land) were significantly better than those in the MCW and FCW (both affected by human-induced degradation). The average ammonium concentration were 1.15 mg/l, 0.15 mg/l, and 0.06 mg/l for Murgul, Fabrika, and Hatila Creeks, while the mean nitrate was 2.51 mg/l, 3, 25 mg/l, and 1.79 mg/l, respectively. Moreover, TDS and conductivity values were also measured significantly higher in Murgul (216 mg/l; 443.89 μS/cm) and Fabrika Creeks (175 mg/l; 205.64 μS/cm) than Hatila Creek (111 mg/l; 133.43 μS/cm). Given the identification of certain water quality parameters surpassing critical threshold values, it becomes evident that mitigating the impacts of anthropogenic factors and enhancing land management practices within the study area are imperative.

Introduction: In this work, we present model guided development of a new Etoricoxib tablet formulation using a proprietary technology. Application of absorption modelling using GastroPlus to guide the product development process is presented. An integrated approach of using in vitro, modelling and in vivo pharmacokinetics (PK) data to demonstrate bioequivalence between newly developed formulation and the commercial formulation is presented. Methods: The MiSTTM technology is a combination of wetting-solubilizing agents with suspension-spray granulation technique. A physiologically-based biopharmaceutics model (PBBM) coupled with population PK and virtual bioequivalence was employed to guide the product development process. Commercially available GastroPlus 9.8 software was used for this purpose. Results: Based on the simulation outcome, it was concluded that the new cost-effective formulation manufactured using MiSTTM technology could be bioequivalent against the marketed formulation. This was further confirmed from the in vivo PK studies in normal healthy volunteers. Conclusion: The simulated data were in line with the observed PK data obtained from the in-house bioequivalence study. This work demonstrates application of predictive modelling and simulation tools to accelerate new product development
Preserve the US interchangeable standard that has helped drive physician and patient confidence in biosimilars
Authors: Reilly Michael S
Published: August 2024

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) proposed eliminating the distinction between biosimilars and interchangeable biosimilars, aiming to align with European policy and enhance biosimilar uptake. However, this move is misguided, as biosimilars diff er from generics and require individualized treatment plans. Physician confidence in biosimilars remains high, and the interchangeable standard has effectively built trust. Additionally, biosimilar uptake is influenced by formulary design, not interchangeability. Targeting pharmacy benefit managers practices could better support biosimilar adoption.
Representation of Polynomials Over Finite Fields With Circulants
Authors: Muratović Amela
Published: August 2024

Representation of polynomials over complex fields is well known. In this paper a similar representation is given for polynomials of degree less than $q-1$, over finite fields. The results are theorems that characterize the centralizer of the circulant of a permutation polynomial, and a formula for the calculation of the determinant of the circulant as the product of the determinants of the polynomials defined on the cosets of some multilpicative subgroup.

Characterizations of Measurability-Preserving Ergodic Transformations
Authors: Fatkić Huse
Published: August 2024

Let ($S, \mathfrak{A}, \mu$) be a finite measure space and let $\phi: S \rightarrow S$ be a transformation which preserves the measure $\mu$. The purpose of this paper is to give some (measure theoretical) necessary and sufficient conditions for the transformation $\phi$ to be measurability-preserving ergodic with respect to $\mu$. The obtained results extend well-known results for invertible ergodic transformations and complement the previous work of R.E. Rice on measurability-preserving strong-mixing transformations.

We obtain sufficient and (different) necessary conditions for the series $\sum a_{n}$, which is absolutely summable of order $k$ by a triangular matrix method $A$, to be such that $\sum a_{n}\lambda_n$ is absolutely summable of order $k$ by a triangular matrix $B$. As corollaries we obtain a number of inclusion theorems.

On Upper Dini’s Systems and U.S.C. Functions With Convex Limit Sets
Authors: Vuković Mirjana , Holý Dušan , Matejička Ladislav
Published: August 2024

We give an answer to the question in [HN] as to which upper Dini's systems of functions induces a Hausdorff metric topology on $U_0(X)$. We show that if $X$ is a locally connected metric space then the Hausdorff metric topology on $U_0(X)$ induces as an upper Dini's system of functions the set of all bounded upper semicontinuous functions vanishing at infinity with convex limit sets.

A Convolution Related to the Inverse Kontorovich-Lebedev Transform
Authors: Yakubovich S. B. , Britvina L. E.
Published: August 2024

We establish the mapping properties in the space $L_2({\mathbbR}_+;\frac{dt}{t\sinh \nu t})$, $0<\nu\le\pi$ for a convolution related to the transformation\[F(x)=\int\limits_0^\infty f(t) K_{it}(x)\,dt, \quad x\in{\mathbb R}_{+}\]involving the modified Bessel function $K_{it}(x)$ as a kernel. It is shown that the convolution operator of two $L_2$-functions exists as a Lebesgue integral and represents a continuous function on ${\mathbb R}_+$. As a consequence, we get the multiplication theorem for two modified Bessel functions of different subscripts. Further applications to the corresponding class of convolution integral equations are obtained.

Representation Theorems for Connected Compact Hausdorff Spaces
Authors: Džamonja Mirna
Published: August 2024

We present two theorems which can be used to represent compact connected Hausdorff spaces in an algebraic context, using a Stone-like representation. The first theorem stems from the work of Wallman and shows that every distributive disjunctive normal lattice is the lattice of closed sets in a unique up to homeomorphism connected compact Hausdorff space. The second theorem stems from the work of Jung and Sünderhauf. Introducing the notion of strong proximity involution lattices, it shows that every such lattice can be uniquely represented as the lattice of pairs of compact and open sets of connected compact Hausdorff space. As a consequence we easily obtain a somewhat surprising theorem birepresenting distributive disjunctive normal lattices and strong proximity involution lattices.

More on Hurwitz and Tasoev Continued Fractions
Authors: Komatsu Takao
Published: August 2024

Several new types of Hurwitz continued fractions have been studied. Most basic Hurwitz continued fractions can be expressed by using confluent hypergeometric functions ${}_0F_1(;c;z)$. This expression enables us to find some more general Hurwitz continued fractions. A contrast between Tasoev continued fractions and Hurwitz ones yields some more general Tasoev continued fractions. Some Ramanujan continued fractions are also discussed.
