Effect of yttrium additions on microstructure and corrosion resistance of Incoloy 825 alloy
Authors: Salynova M. A. , Uglunts T. V. , Tolochko O. V.
Published: March 2024

The work is devoted to the study of the effect of microalloying with yttrium (Y) additives to improve the corrosion resistance of Incoloy 825 superalloy. The influence of Y on microstructure was evaluated by metallographic methods using optical and scanning electron microscopes, resistance to pitting and intergranular corrosion was evaluated by electrochemical and chemical methods of analysis. The paper describes changes in the structure, phase composition and hardness of cast samples with yttrium content of 0, 0.01, 0.05 and 0.1 wt. %. The obtained data correlate with the results of thermodynamic calculations of phase formation during crystallization. The influence of additions on the structure after strain hardening was investigated. Small addition (up to 0.01 wt. %) promotes increase of mobility of recrystallized grain boundaries. With increasing Y amount, the grain size decreases and hardness increases. It is shown that the greatest deoxidizing ability is observed at small additions of Y in the amount up to 0.01 wt. %, while the total amount of dissolved [O] decreased five times. Increasing the Y content reduces the ability to remove heavy inclusions from the melt, resulting in an increase in the proportion of oxide inclusions. The effect of additives on nitrogen [N] was not observed, and the volume fraction of nitride inclusions did not change, but the size of nitride inclusions decreased and the character of their distribution changed to uniform than in the alloy without Y. The results of pitting and intergranular fracture resistance tests showed that Y is an element that can be used to improve the corrosion properties of Incoloy 825 alloy. The best combination of resistance to the two types of corrosion was observed for the 0.01 wt. % Y sample.

Antecedentes: Los sistemas agrosilvícolas (SA) integran diversidad agrícola, forestal y cultural. En regiones costeras de México han sido poco estudiados, particularmente los manejados por mixtecos y afromexicanos de la costa de Oaxaca. Preguntas: ¿Qué SA se encuentran en comunidades mixtecas y afromexicanas?, ¿Cuáles son las especies útiles, formas de manejo, prácticas agrícolas y agroforestales de los SA? Especies de estudio: Diversas. Sitio y años de estudio: Santa María Chicometepec, Cerro de la Esperanza, Collantes, Santa Elena Comaltepec, San Agustín Chayuco, Santiago Tetepec, Oaxaca. Octubre 2021 a octubre 2022. Métodos: Se realizaron 60 entrevistas semiestructuradas a especialistas locales en tres comunidades mixtecas y tres afromexicanas. Se preguntó acerca de especies útiles, sistemas agrosilvícolas, prácticas agrícolas, agroforestales y de manejo. Se realizaron recorridos y colectas de ejemplares de herbario. Se describió cada sistema por sus prácticas agroforestales y de manejo. Se registró el número de especies útiles por categoría de uso y grupo cultural. Resultados: Se documentaron y describieron seis SA: milpa, potreros, solares, acahuales, piñal y cocotal. Las prácticas agrícolas en comunidades mixtecas se realizan con herramientas e insumos básicos y la producción tiene un fin de autoconsumo y venta local, mientras que en comunidades afromexicanas son tecnificadas y su destino es la venta regional. Linderos y árboles aislados fueron las prácticas agroforestales más comunes. Conclusiones: Mixtecos y Afromexicanos comparten SA, formas de manejo y prácticas agroforestales, difieren en las prácticas agrícolas. En los SA se conservan principalmente especies comestibles y maderables. El número de especies útiles es similar en comunidades mixtecas y afromexicanas.

Authors: Sordi Bárbara Araújo
Published: March 2024

Este artigo visa apresentar a prática de grupos reflexivos que atuam com violências de gênero na clínica de Psicologia da Universidade da Amazônia, do projeto “Sobre (Bem) Viver”, cujos serviços estendem-se às mulheres vítimas de violência doméstica e à população LGBTQIAP+. Realiza-se revisão bibliográfica sobre a Psicologia Feminista, proposta por Conceição Nogueira, e sobre o conceito de matriz colonial de gênero de Maria Lugones, para, como resultado, circunscrever a Psicologia Feminista Contracolonial como campo epistemológico e a metodologia das práticas circulares, de Kay Pranis, como técnica de facilitação. Conclui-se que há relevância social no projeto, com impacto direto na comunidade, assim como na formação pessoal e profissional das estudantes, que desenvolvem lentes críticas, políticas e historicamente contextualizadas que atravessam seus dispositivos terapêuticos, mas sobretudo pelo espaço crítico de fissura da Psicologia tradicional, com práxis comprometidas com enfrentamentos de violências estruturais.
RAP COMO DISPOSITIVO: RELATO SOBRE GRUPO DE ADOLESCENTES PRETAS/OS E O FAZER SAÚDE
Authors: Conselheiro Samuel Germano do Nascimento , Oliveira Elaine Cristina Tôrres , Mesquita Marcos Ribeiro
Published: March 2024

A reflexão sobre as particularidades que constituem o meio social se faz necessária no exercício da atenção à saúde de populações específicas, como a de adolescentes. Período de mudanças significativas, sobretudo entre pretas/os, a adolescência se configura como um momento para refletir em coletivo as experiências raciais construídas. Nesse sentido, o presente relato tem por objetivo apresentar uma vivência de discussão das questões étnico-raciais junto a um grupo de adolescentes. Para a construção de espaços de discussão, o rap foi escolhido como estratégia de aproximação e como recurso de criatividade (compreensão Winnicottiana). Sua utilização, tornou-se metodologia ideal para a expressão das experiências vividas e possibilitou a observação de marcas de uma sociedade racista e de modelos possíveis de negritude positiva. Percebeu-se o rap como estratégia potente para o fazer saúde, tendo vista o diálogo com as experiências e o acesso menos doloroso aos corpos minimamente silenciados.
O LUGAR DO INDÍGENA EM VÍDEOS DE MOBILIZAÇÃO POLÍTICA: TENSÕES ENTRE SUBJETIVIDADES E REGIMES DE VISIBILIDADE
Authors: Barros Thiago Almeida , Chagas Junior Edgar Monteiro
Published: March 2024

Este artigo consiste em análise de conteúdos audiovisuais da organização não governamental (ONG) Greenpeace Brasil publicados durante campanha contrária à instalação de barragens no rio Tapajós, no Pará. O corpus se concentra em três vídeos, nos quais jovens Munduruku narram suas experiências cotidianas na aldeia Sawré Muybu e destacam seus pontos de vista sobre a ameaça ao território. Considerando que a ONG tem potencial para atuar como um dispositivo de subjetivação política no campo das lutas socioambientais, desmembramos os vídeos em camadas de textos e imagens para avaliar se concentram características que permitam a reconfiguração de regimes de visibilidade e a exploração das potências políticas e criativas na criação de demandas. Identificamos marcadores que indicam caminhos para realocação do lugar dos indígenas em vídeos de mobilização política, no entanto, em processo permeado por tensões e modulações discursivas que comprometem o potencial enunciativo dos sujeitos em questão

Published: March 2024

O presente artigo aborda o discurso da demonização do Halloween, com o objetivo de analisar como este é exposto em publicações com a hashtag #naoaohalloween na plataforma digital Instagram. Utilizou-se um total de 831 publicações e uma amostra de 99, postadas no dia 31 de outubro de 2021. Os resultados foram divididos em três tabelas: a primeira com imagens e conteúdos escritos; a segunda os conteúdos em vídeos; e a terceira o público das postagens. Foi realizada uma análise qualitativa embasada pelos seguintes teóricos: Foucault (1996), Van Dijk (2017), Siwek (2018), Caro (2011), Mendonza (2021) e Silva (2018). A pesquisa apresentou o discurso religioso como dominante nas postagens. Os discursos dos evangélicos, dos protestantes e dos católicos defendem o Halloween como uma festa demoníaca e se utilizam de outras celebrações para este dia, apresentando um discurso dominador e controlador por parte da sociedade, que utilizam as redes sociais na internet para disseminação de mensagens contra o Halloween.

Serological markers of sarcopenia in ages 65 and over
Authors: Safonova Yu. A.
Published: March 2024

Aim. To determine serological markers of sarcopenia (SP) for use in general medical practice in people aged 65 years and older living independently.

Materials and methods. The study included 230 people aged 65 years and older (70 men and 160 women, median age 75 [68; 79] years) were consulted in a medical institution in St. Petersburg. The diagnosis of SP was made according to the criteria of EWGSOP2 (2018). The laboratory examination included clinical and biochemical blood analysis, determine the level of 25(OH)D, parathyroid hormone (PTH), C-reactive protein (CRP).

Results. The risk of SP increased at levels 25(OH)D less than 21 ng/mL (odds ratio 4.989; 95 % confidence interval 1.321–12.626; р = 0.0420), total protein less than 65 g/l (OR 8.567; 95 % CI 2.658–27.617; р = 0.00032), serum CRP 6 mg/l or more (OR 14.279; 95 % CI: 3.511–58.071; р = 0.00020) and decrease in the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) less than 62 ml/min/1.73 m2 (OR 12.108; 95 % CI 3.944–37.170; р = 0.00001).

Conclusion. Serological markers of SP, such as vitamin D, total protein, C-reactive protein in blood serum and eGFR can be used in general medical practice.

Published: March 2024

Aim. To determine the effect of visual impairment on the formation of visual hallucinosis.

Materials and methods. We studied 87 patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). The average age of the patients was 65.16 ± 8.22 years. The patients underwent a comprehensive neurological and ophthalmological examination, including optical coherence tomography of the retina.

Results. The presence of visual hallucinosis was reported by 50.6 % of patients with PD. Extracampine hallucinations (ECH) are the most common. ECH was detected at all stages of PD and in patients with different forms of the disease and patients with ECH have no cognitive impairment. In patients with ECH, there was no decrease in visual acuity, impaired color perception, contrast sensitivity, as well as ophthalmic diseases such as cataracts, glaucoma, etc. An important difference between patients with ECH and patients without ECH was a statistically significant thinning of the retinal layers. Complaints about the presence of illusions were detected in 18.4 % of patients with PD. According to the results of our study, patients with illusions were characterized by a marked decrease in visual acuity, impaired color perception and contrast sensitivity, and, apparently, the presence of illusions in patients with PD can be explained by impaired visual perception and amblyopia. According to the results of neuropsychological testing, patients with illusions have impaired visual-spatial functions. Visual hallucinationsis appeared in the late-stages of PD, patients over 65 years of age with mild cognitive impairment.

Сonclusion. As a result of our study, it was revealed that the development of visual hallucinosis in patients with PD is associated not only with central (cortical) mechanisms, but the peripheral part of the visual analyzer is also of considerable importance, primarily retinal damage and loss of visual afferentation.

Published: March 2024

Introduction. A clinical case of an 80-year-old patient with clinical and instrumental manifestations of amyloidosis caused by the deposition of non-mutant (“wild type”) transthyretin (Amyloidosis “wild type” TransThyRetin, ATTRwt) is described. A special feature of this case was the diagnosis of amyloidosis at the same time as the identification of symmetrical polyarthritis.

Aim. To present an example of successful diagnosis and timely treatment of ATTRwt amyloidosis.

Materials and methods. Male patient (80 years old) consulted a rheumatologist in an outpatient clinic with complaints of weakness and pain in the muscles of the upper and lower extremities, swelling and soreness of both wrist joints; with manifestations of multiple tunnel syndromes (ulnar canal, Guyon canals, bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome). In addition, the patient had a heart involvement which appeared as left ventricle hypertrophy, paroxysmal form of atrial fibrillation, chronic heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, intraventricular conduction defect and low QRS voltage. Due to the presence of cardiac manifestations along with neuropathy, transthyretinic amyloidosis was suspected.

Results. Polyneuropathy was confirmed by the results of electroneuromyography. AL-amyloidosis (immunoglobulin Light chain Amyloidosis) is excluded due to the absence of monoclonal proteins in the blood. The diagnosis was confirmed by the results of scintigraphy with with labeled technetium-99m pyrophosphate. Intensive accumulation of radiopharmaceutical was detected in the myocardium of the left ventricle. The study also confirmed the presence of polyarthritis, manifested by increased accumulation, in the area of the I metatarsophalangeal joint on the left, both wrist, shoulder and knee joints. The hereditary nature of ATTR amyloidosis was excluded by the results of genetic analysis, which did not reveal mutations in the transthyretin gene. The singularity of this case was in development of a symmetrical polyarthritis during amyloidosis manifestation. Pathogenetic therapy with tafamidis was initiated. Arthritis regressed after starting treatment with methotrexate.

Conclusion. Transthyretin amyloidosis is a chronic progressive life-threatening disease caused by the formation and deposition of transthyretin-derived amyloid fibrils. The variety of amyloid tropicity to various organs and tissues leads to it phenotypic heterogeneity, which makes it difficult to make a diagnosis on early stages. However, the detection of «red flags» symptoms signaling the presence of transthyretin amyloidosis can shorten the time before initiation of targeted treatment, contributing to the improvement of the patient’s quality of life.
Cardiovascular risk in patients with inflammatory arthritis
Authors: Anichkov D. A. , Shostak N. A. , Timofeev V. T.
Published: March 2024

Rheumatoid and other inflammatory arthritis (ankylosing spondylitis and psoriatic arthritis) have a high risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). It is caused by the accelerated development of atherosclerosis associated with a chronic systemic inflammatory process. Nevertheless, traditional CVD risk factors (hypertension, smoking, dyslipidemia) are also important for patients with inflammatory arthritis. The greatest amount of data has been accumulated regarding the relationship between CVD and rheumatoid arthritis. Due to the difficulties in diagnosing coronary heart disease and other CVD, it is of great importance to identify patients at high and very high risk. The use of scales for assessing the total cardiovascular risk SCORE/SCORE 2 with a coefficient of 1.5 allows to identify patients who need measures to reduce their high risk of CVD. Control of the of the disease activity, lifestyle modification, therapy with statins and antihypertensive drugs in accordance with current guidelines, caution when prescribing non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and minimizing the dose of glucocorticoids are the main components of the strategy for reducing the risk of CVD in patients with inflammatory arthritis.
Comparative multimodal sensory testing in multifocal motor neuropathy and multifocal variant of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy
Authors: Tumilovich T. A. , Grishina D. A. , Suponeva N. A. , Fedin P. A.
Published: March 2024

Background. One of the key distinctions between multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) and multifocal variant of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (mCIDP) lies in the presence or absence of sensory deficits. Nevertheless, existing literature suggests that MMN can also involve sensory fibers of peripheral nerves, complicating the differential diagnosis of MMN and mCIDP, which remains a relevant issue.

Aim. To evaluate the profile and intensity of objective sensory deficits and autonomic dysfunction in MMN and mCIDP, as well as to identify differential diagnostic markers.

Materials and methods. Out of 65 patients followed up in the study, 30 were diagnosed with MMN and 35 were diagnosed with mCIDP. A retrospective analysis of clinical and epidemiological characteristics was carried out. The evaluation encompassed clinical assessments of sensory symptoms (including on the NTSS-9 scale), assessments of the severity of autonomic dysfunction using the COMPASS-31 questionnaire, and neurophysiological multimodal sensory testing (including electroneuromyography, computer pallesthesiometry, and short-latency auditory evoked potentials).

Results. Patients with mCIDP were significantly more likely to have subjective (according to the NTSS-9 and COMPASS-31 scales) and objective (according to clinical examination) sensory deficits and autonomic dysfunction (p <0.05). A third of patients with MMN reported sensory complaints, yet there was no objective evidence of impaired pain sensitivity. Changes in vibration sensitivity were equally prevalent during clinical assessment in both groups (p >0.05). Electroneuromyography studies revealed significantly lower amplitudes of hand sensory nerve action potentials in the mCIDP group compared to MMN patients (p <0.05). At the same time, a third of patients with MMN with a previous history of disease of 13 [10.0; 16.0] years also had low amplitudes of hand sensory nerve action potentials. The mean value of the autonomic reaction threshold, as well as the cutaneous vibration perception threshold were significantly higher in mCIDP compared to MMN (p <0.05) when examining the hands.

Conclusion. Differential diagnosis of MMN and mCIDP at the onset and in early disease (under 5 years) poses no challenges. However, it has been shown that a third of patients with MMN in the long-term catamnesis of the disease have some kind of sensory impairment, which may complicate the differential diagnosis with mCIDP. In such cases, employing computer pallesthesiography to measure vibration perception threshold can aid in clarifying the diagnosis and determining optimal treatment strategies.

A description of the clinical and genetic characteristics of four Russian patients with Schaaf–Yang syndrome, caused by previously described and newly identified nucleotide variants in MAGEL2 gene, is presented. It was shown that the most severe clinical manifestations were found in a patient with the new identified variant c.1828C>T (p.Gln610Ter), while in a patient with a new nucleotide variant c.1609C>T (p.Gln537Ter) the manifestations of the disease were moderate. Considering the significant similarity of the clinical manifestations of Schaaf–Yang syndrome with Prader–Willi syndrome, the criteria for their differential diagnosis are outlined, the use of which will help optimize the process of molecular genetic analysis aimed at finding the etiologic factor.
Nerve transfer in children with acute flaccid myelitis for restoration of upper limb function (literature review)
Authors: Agranovich O. E. , Komolkin I. A.
Published: March 2024

The term “acute flaccid myelitis” is used to describe a condition characterized by acute flaccid paralysis of the limb, as well as damage to the motor neurons of the spinal cord. The absence of specific treatment, severe neurological deficit that persists in 75–95 % of patients in the long term indicates its severity.

The aim of the work is to describe acute flaccid myelitis in children, modern methods of treatment, and estimate the effectiveness of nerve transfers for restoration of the upper limb function.

The search for publications was carried out in the PubMed/MEDLINE, Google Scholar databases from 2003 to 2022, and data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (https://www.cdc.gov) were used. There were analyzed surgical treatments of 57 children with paresis of the upper extremities due to AFM (105 nerve transfers). Restoration of shoulder function (neurotization of n. axillaris, n. suprascapularis) was performed in 57 (54.3 %) patients, elbow flexion (neurotization of n. musculocutaneus) in 37 (35.2 %), elbow extension in 9 (8.5 %) (neurotization of the branch of n. radialis to m. triceps brachii), fingers flexion in 1 (1 %) (neurotization of the n. interosseus anterior branch), fingers extension in 1 (1 %) (neurotization of n. interosseus posterior).

The review demonstrated the effectiveness of nerve transfers in children with paresis of the upper extremities due to acute flaccid myelitis who were operated up to 1 year from the onset of the disease.

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a hereditary, autosomal recessive disease that debuts at different ages. Neurological symptoms are progressive and lead to significant limitation of life activity and reduced life expectancy. Currently, there are several drugs for the pathogenetical treatment of SMA. This article reflects the evolution of clinicians’ views on the treatment of patients with SMA as scientific evidence from clinical trials and experience in managing patients in real‑world clinical practice accumulates. The biggest debate is about the treatment of patients with 4 copies of the SMN2 gene. An analysis of the “SMA Families” patient registry database was carried out; data on two patients with 4 copies of the SMN2 gene with early onset of the disease were presented.
Treatment of Distal Radius Fractures in Elderly Patients:
A Review
Authors: Latypov Niyaz A. , Golubev Igor O.
Published: March 2024

Background. Distal radius fractures (DRF) are one of the most common injuries in the elderly population. Their incidence increases steadily, with epidemiologists predicting further growth. Despite its growing prevalence, the efficacy of surgical treatment for this pathology in elderly patients remains debatable.
Aim — to determine the optimal method for treating distal radius fractures in the elderly population basing on a comparative analysis of the literature data on various treatment methods, including conservative and surgical ones.
Methods. A search was performed in PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Google Scholar, and eLIBRARY databases according to the following keywords, their derivatives and combinations in the titles and abstracts: treatment, distal radius fracture, elderly. Initial analysis for meeting the inclusion criteria was performed on the article titles and abstracts, followed by analysis of the full-text articles. The sources with unavailable full-text versions were excluded from the analysis.
Results. Current epidemiological data were studied, specific aspects of physical examination of elderly patients with distal radius fractures were described, the main treatment methods were determined. The main treatment method remains the conservative one: closed reduction and immobilisation. Open reduction and internal fixation with a volar locking plate has become the leading surgical treatment method in recent decades, replacing such methods as closed reduction and fixation with wires or external fixation. At early follow-up, elderly patients operated on with volar locking plate show better functional results than those who received conservative treatment. However, at long-term follow-up, most studies show no significant differences in functional outcomes after surgical and conservative treatment, despite the differences in radiological data in favour of surgical treatment.
Conclusion. For the majority of elderly patients, conservative treatment may be the optimal treatment option. Surgical intervention using a volar locking plate may be justified for certain groups of elderly patients, as this method may accelerate rehabilitation after injury.

On the “Occidentalized Indianness” behind “Blue” Image in Midnight’s Children from the World Literature Perspective
Authors: Tan Chenhui , Li Limin
Published: March 2024

With the traits of exoticism and assimilation in world literature, the image of color “blue” in Salman Rushdie’s novel Midnight’s Children presents the “hybridity” with extremely rich connotation. It is showed from aspects of material life, identity pursuit and religion reconsideration, which reveal the “Occidentalized Indianness” in postcolonial South Asian Subcontinent. It not only critically implies the influence from the colonial authority and western centralism, but also conveys a wish of return and adherence to the essence of “Indianness”, another form of world literature.
Role of vitamin D in patients with Potts spine

Published: March 2024

Potts spine is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow growing gram-positive, acid-fast bacillus which becomes lodged in the bone via Batson’s venous plexus and lymphatic from primarily infected lung, lymph nodes, mediastinum and viscera, forming granulomatous inflammation and caseation necrosis. Pott's spine accounts for 2% of all cases of TB, 15% of extrapulmonary, and 50% of skeletal TB. The paradiscal, central, anterior subligamentous, and neural arch are the common vertebral lesions. Thoracic vertebrae are commonly affected followed by lumbar and cervical vertebrae. Vitamin D is known to play a role in regulating the immune system, and it has been suggested that a deficiency in vitamin D may contribute to the development of autoimmune disorders such as Potts spine. Studies have shown that individuals with Potts spine have lower levels of vitamin D compared to healthy controls. Additionally, vitamin D deficiency has been linked to an increased risk of spinal bone loss and an increased risk of spinal fractures in individuals with Potts spine.

Present study was prospective in nature conducted among 4f patients of Potts spine. All patients fulfilling inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria were taken up for the study. Study was carried out over a period of 2 years. Serum vitamin D was assessed.

Majority of the patients was in the age group of 41-50 years and most of them were male. In this study, serum vitamin D level was optimal (>30 ng/ml) in 16 (36.36%) cases, deficient (<20 ng/ml) in 16 (36.36%) cases and insufficient (20-30 ng/ml) among 12 (27.28%) cases.

Reduced serum levels of vitamin D are associated with increased spinal cord compression & disease severity as suggested by the bowel bladder involvement & sensory involvement at levels <20 ng/ml, level 1 spinal cord compression at optimal (>30 ng/ml) vitamin D level, level 2 spinal cord compression at 20-30 ng/ml (insufficient) and level 3 spinal cord compression at deficient (<20 ng/ml) vitamin D level. So, there is an inverse relationship between the level of vitamin D & severity of disease in Pott’s spine.
