Формализация интересов социальных субъектов в конституциях стран СНГ
Authors: Белоусов Николай Васильевич
Published: November 2021

Категория «интерес» выступает объектом гуманитарных наук, включая юриспруденцию. Построение современного правового государства, гражданского общества, развитие в них личности зависит от реализации интересов всех указанных субъектов. В юридической науке интерес, как правило, рассматривается с точки зрения теории права, однако отсутствуют систематизированные конституционной отраслью знания. В этой связи цель исследования – на основе метода сравнительного правоведения выявить зарубежный опыт формализации интересов социальных субъектов в конституциях стран СНГ. В результате осуществленного сравнительно-правового анализа установлено многообразие интересов в их корреляции с индивидуальными (гражданин, человек, работник, иные лица, соотечественники, ребенок, несовершеннолетний, потребитель) и коллективными (народ, население, общество, партия и другие общественно-политические организации, общественные объединения) социальными субъектами.

Juárez
Authors: Garay Viñas Laura
Published: November 2021

Benito Juárez es uno de los personajes más representativos del panteón de héroes mexicanos. La carencia de diversidad de imágenes realizadas en su época, así como la explotación de una de estas en formato fotográfico, hizo posible la creación de variantes que desembocaron en la deformación, hasta cierto punto de gran creatividad, de las creaciones contemporáneas a la vida del personaje. Mediante el análisis de su fotografía y sus desembocaduras contemporáneas se puede vislumbrar la modificación de la imagen a través de los años y encontrar elementos incorporados en la idea de nación e identidad mexicana, como también la apropiación de discursos adaptados a distintos momentos y necesidades.
Otite media acuta: le abitudini difficili a perdersi e l’aderenza alle linee guida
Authors: Marchetti Federico , Tagliani Sara
Published: November 2021

A recent publication on the prescriptive attitude of American paediatricians towards a child older than two years of age with acute otitis media (OMA) showed that 98% of cases received antibiotic therapy, only in 4.5% of cases administered after “delayed prescription" (persistence or worsening of symptoms 48-72 hours after the onset). In accordance with the guidelines, the first choice drug in 80% of the cases was amoxicillin while the duration of therapy in many cases was longer than the 5 days recommended in the treatment of OMA in this age group. The indications and divergences of the main guidelines on the treatment of the OMA are discussed in the present paper. Guidelines are frequently disregarded in clinical practice, also in Italy, although the numerous studies available confirm their validity. Therefore, it is necessary to define indicators relating to the excessive use of antibiotics to identify specific areas of intervention that should be considered as priorities in punctual antimicrobial stewardship programmes aimed to improve clinical practice.

Published: November 2021

Background: OCR commonly occurs during strabismus surgery, producing bradycardia, arrhythmias and even cardiac arrest after manipulation of orbital structures. Ketamine is NMDA receptor antagonist and acts as an analgesic. Aim: To determine the effect of ketamine premedication on prevention of OCR during strabismus surgery. Study design: Randomized control trial Methodology: 60 patients were randomly divided into two groups i.e., Ketamine 0.75mg/kg (Group K) and control (Group C). Group K patients were premedicated with 0.75mg/kg ketamine while Group C patients did not receive any premedication. Heart rate and ECG were observed 30 sec before and continuously after traction on extraocular muscles was applied upto end of surgery for bradycardia and arrhythmias. Percentage change in HR and presence of arrhythmias was documented. All the data was collected using case report form and analyzed using SPSS version 15. Results: In Group C, 15(50%) cases had arrhythmias while in Group K, only 4(13.33%) cases had arrhythmias. Mean HR in Group C was 118.77±6.92/min and in Group K was 101.57±15.65/min. In Group C, oculocardiac reflex was present in 23(76.7%) cases and in Group K, OCR was present in 6 (20%) cases and prevented in 24 (80%) cases. Conclusion: Premedication with 0.75mg/kg IV ketamine significantly reduces the occurrence of oculocardiac reflex during strabismus surgery.

Published: November 2021

Aim: To determine the denture cleaning routine and habits in complete denture wearers according to cleaning frequency, patient age and life of dentures. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a self-administered questionnaire was designed to learn about patient’s attitudes toward denture cleanliness in the Prosthodontics department. A detailed questionnaire was applied for total 130 patients visiting the Department of Prosthodontics in the Rehmat memorial postgraduate hospital Abbottabad for follow-up care. Data was recorded and analysed by using SPSS version 15.0 for results. Results: Total 130 participants including 90 males (69.3%) and 40 females (30.7%). 48.6% of participants clean their dentures every day, 32.9% once a week, and 18.5 % only occasionally. The highest percentage is seen in Group 1, which is 41.2%. Approximately 77% of Group 2 participants clean their dentures at least once a week, including both daily and once-a-week denture wearers. 71 individuals had been wearing dentures for 3-5 years. 41.2% of them clean their dentures every day, while 58.6 percent clean them twice a week. 6-8 years denture wearers do not clean them on a regular basis. Most patients 42% use only water, while 30% use a combination of water and a toothbrush. Around 20% of participants used soap and water, but only 8% of denture wearers utilised cleansing tablets in addition to water. There was significant difference among all groups (P=0.001). Conclusion: In this study it has been observed that full denture patients have trouble cleansing their dentures. A lack of regular cleaning practises and decreased use of cleaning solutions is the primary cause of poor denture hygiene among the seniors. Dentists should educate patients regarding optimal denture maintenance and materials used for cleaning verbally and in written form. Keywords: Denture Complete Denture hygiene, cleansing Habits, Denture cleaning solution.

Published: November 2021

Introduction: Hip trauma is a debilitating event that leads to a major limitation in patient’s functional ability. The incidence of hip fractures increases with advancing age and are more common in old age individuals. Closed-suction drainage has been routinely used in total hip arthroplasty to prevent hematoma formation and surgical site infections (SSI). Objective: To compare the frequency of surgical site infections in patients undergoing hip surgery with closed suction drain placed at surgical site and without drain. Study Design: Randomized controlled trial. Place and Duration: The study was completed at department of Orthopedic Surgery Unit III, Bolan Medical College Hospital Quetta, Pakistan. The duration of study was from 1-April-2016 to 31-October-2017. Subjects and Methods: A total number of 176 patients who underwent hip arthroplasty were included in this study. Group A (n=88) patients underwent hip surgery with placement of drain and Group B patients underwent hip surgery without the placement of drains. Data analysis was carried out using SPSS v20.0. Chi-square test was applied to compare surgical site infections in drain group and without drain group. Effect modifiers were controlled by stratification. Post stratification Chi-square test was applied taking P-value <0.05 as significant. Results: The mean age of patients in this study was 42.26 (SD 9.86) years. There were 135 males (76.7%) patients in this study and 41 (23.3%) female patients. The mean duration of fracture was 39.41 (SD 7.74) days. There were 63 (35.8%) patients who presented with greater/lesser trochanteric fractures, 64 (36.4%) presented with sub-trochanteric fractures and 49 (27.8%) were presented with inter-trochanteric fractures. SSIs occurred in 7 patients in whom drain was inserted after surgery and in only 2 patients in whom drain was not inserted (p-value 0.08). There was no effect of confounder variables on the occurrence of SSIs. Conclusion: The risk of surgical site infections is same in patients undergoing hip surgery with closed suction drain placed at surgical site and without drain. Keywords: Hip fractures, Hip arthroplasty, Closed suction drains, Surgical site infections.

Published: November 2021

Background: Cesarean section delivery causes major risk factors in terms of intraoperative performance and blood loss while blood transfusion is a promising factor in emergency care in case of blood unavailability. Women undergoing cesarean section routinely require blood cross-matching. Aim: The present study aimed to evaluate the pattern of blood transfusion among women who underwent c/section at the tertiary care center. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 745 pregnant women who underwent cesarean section at Obstetrics & Gynaecology department of Quaid-e-Azam International Hospital Islamabad and PAF hospital Masroor, Karachi for duration of six months from January 2021 to June 2021. The demographic details, incidence of cesarean section, blood transfusion indications and types were recorded. Antenatal intraoperative and pre-operative details were also noted. Complications regarding blood transfusion were analyzed using multivariable analysis and EPI-statistical software v 3.5.3. Results: Of the total 745 cesarean sections, the prevalence of blood transfusion was 10.1%. About 75 women transfused 216 units of blood with packed cells tailed by Fresh Frozen Plasma (FFP). The prevalence of emergency cesarean section was 61 (81.3%) while general anesthesia was utilized in 27 (44.3%) cases. Fetal distress and placenta praevia were the common indications of cesarean section. Placenta praevia Respiratory rate (RR) was 5.01 (p<0.001). Other obstetric complications and risk factors were anemia, antepartum hemorrhage, hypertension, and previous cesarean section. The cross-matched transfusion ratio was 9.93 while the transfusion index and probabilities were 0.078 and 10.1 respectively. Conclusion: Our study found a higher prevalence of blood transfusion risks among pregnant women who underwent cesarean section. It has been observed that the risk of blood transfusion increased with placenta previa, preoperative maternal anemia, placenta abruption, and second stage cesarean section. During the antenatal period, the need for blood transfusion might be reduced with an increased concentration of maternal hemoglobin.

Authors: Ullah Ikram , Rehman Anees Ur , Sarfraz Saulat , Latif Sarfraz , Qazi Zia Us Salam , Awan Sadia Maqsood
Published: November 2021

Background: Anatomical position of sphenoid sinus, sellar and parasellar regions are located in the skull base having difficulty to approach due to presence of vital structures in its proximity. The presence of carotid artery and optic nerve in its lateral wall make the situation difficult due to lack of illumination and visual limitation. In the past traditional techniques to approach this region like external ethmoidectomy, transseptal transsphenoidal routes were used causing significant trauma, bleeding and risk of possible complication in skull base region. Aim: to access the efficacy and safety of the endonasal endoscopic approach to the sphenoid sinus Method: This study was done in the department of ENT Shaikh Zayed hospital Lahore, 33 patients who were diagnosed to have lesions involving sphenoid sinus. Detailed history, thorough ENT examination, relative investigations were done and all were managed naso-endoscopically. Results: The review of these cases showed that the endoscopic technique was found to have the advantages of being minimally invasive with no external incisions. There is less trauma to the patient, no need for operating microscope or intraoperative image intensifier. Conclusion: The conclusion of our study showed that naso-endoscopes are excellent tools for better visualization due to availability of different angled scopes and good illumination. The disease is better assessed and cleared identifying landmarks with quicker postoperative recovery and lesser overall morbidity. Over the last few years, endoscopic approach to these regions has gained much popularity because of advances in optics, endoscopes and illumination. Keywords: Endoscopic sinus surgery, sphenoid sinus

Authors: Zubair Ayesha , Fatima Sabahat , Nizami Saleha Akram , , Khalil Anas , Sattar Rabia , Shaheen Bashir Ahmed
Published: November 2021

Background: Primary hypothyroidism is associated with the synthesis, metabolism and lipid abnormalities of thyroid hormones. Individuals with hypothyroidism have been shown to have high low density cholesterol and low high density cholesterol. In individuals with normal thyroid the association is usually observed between total cholesterol and thyroid stimulating hormone. Due to lipid abnormalities one group of experts is of the opinion that individuals with TSH ≤10 mIU/L having features of hypothyroidism should be started with thyroxine medication. Whereas, the other group does not support this idea making the topic controversial. In Pakistan the association between thyroid function and lipid abnormalities have so far not been studied which leaves a room for research at this topic. Aim: To explore the association between mild hypothyroidism and lipid abnormalities in Pakistani population. Methodology: This cross sectional study is carried out at Alfalah Welfare Medical Society, Lahore as part of their medical checkup, all the subjects gave written informed consent. The study was done from January 2021 to July 2021. Results: Thyroid function test of 2312 (85.4%) of the subjects was found to be normal. Subjects with mild hypothyroidism among Group-I were 324 (11.9%) whereas mild hypothyroidism in group-II were 36(1.3%). Triglyceride (3.99±0.80 compared to 3.79±0.70 mmol/L, p˂0.0001), low density lipoprotein (2.59±0.60 compared to 2.29±0.39mmol/L, p˂0.0001) and high density lipoprotein was (1.10±0.14 compared to 1.14±0.15 mmol/L). Conclusion: In patients with mild hypothyroidism due to deranged lipid profile atherogenesis was observed. In continuation to it low high density lipoproteins were also observed in children and a raised triglyceride and low density lipoprotein in the adult population. On the other hand, in patients with mild hypothyroidism having low TSH levels no such abnormalities were observed. Keywords: Dyslipidemia, Subclinical Hypothyrodism, Thyroid

Developing a Small Business Educational Program for Growing Rural Businesses
Authors: Pett Timothy L. , Francis John , Veatch Wendy
Published: November 2021

This paper elaborates on the development of a small business certificate program in rural Kansas. Researchers and local practitioners suggest that there are differences between rural and urban small businesses and that most educational programs do not account for these differences. After exploratory research, the university team identified specific needs facing local businesses and tailored a program for their needs. A program structure and set of topics, paired with faculty experts was developed and implemented. Topics focused on developing an entrepreneurial orientation, as well as certain business fundamentals that were deemed critical to small rural businesses. Each topic was oriented toward the rural context where face to face business is more essential. A feedback loop was implemented leading to a shorter 8-week timeframe and some topic adjustments. To date, 378 firms have participated in the program and have shown an 80% survival rate. Specific feedback has indicated that business growth has occurred and that the respondents do perceive development in their entrepreneurial orientation. In addition, specific skill areas related to unique businesses have been improved. Lastly, the program participants have grown their regional business networks, which has been shown to be an important factor for rural business success.

Published: November 2021

The COVID-19 global crisis and the ensuing lockdown of large parts of society and economic life has been an exogenous shock to society (Kuckertz et al., 2020). It is predicted the impact on the small business sector is likely to be severe (Fairlie, 2020). The findings of this international qualitative study offer a first-hand and real-time account of the adversity encountered by small rural businesses during the first lockdown in the COVID-19 pandemic and insight into how their leaders exercised resilience. Drawing upon the evidence from 38 small business entrepreneurs and four business support organizations, the data pointed out three main challenges in terms of adversity relating to business model change, information flow and sense-making, and weak strategy. The study also brings new insight into five leadership practices and behaviors that help exercise entrepreneurial resiliency: personal and business experience of crises, positive mindset, personal faith, learning and leading, and relationships.
Small Business Development Centers and Rural Entrepreneurial Development Strategies: Are We Doing Enough for Rural America?
Authors: Dunne Timothy C. , Toyoshima Katie , Byrd Michael
Published: November 2021

Many states across the United States have significant rural populations, which typically face different sets of challenges than those closer to urban populations. This is particularly evident in the different types of opportunities that small businesses face in those rural areas. In recent years, various efforts - both at a national and local level - have been taken to increase those opportunities for rural small businesses. However, those efforts have not always produced the results that are envisioned. Utilizing information about Small Business Development Center (SBDC) strategies to serve small businesses in both rural and urban areas, we highlight the efforts that work to aid rural entrepreneurs as well as those that fall short.

Toni Morrison's Beloved
Authors: Terzieva-Artemis Rossitsa
Published: November 2021

Since its publication in 1987, this novel by Morrison has spurred an enormous wave of critical responses and interpretations. Undoubtedly, the most challenging aspect to any critic is the fact that Beloved rigorously defies hermeneutic foreclosures. I choose to read the novel as a key text which throws light upon liminal psychic experiences by using psychoanalysis and especially Julia Kristeva's theory of the abject, as well as the narratological approach of Bakhtin. Morrison deals with the problem of human survival on two levels, thus bridging the gap between historical narrative and personal history. One of these levels is the level on which the author makes a subversive record of the history of survival-in-suffering, and relates the communal history. The second level is the level of depiction of survival in the history-of-suffering, that is, each individual's history. Through analysis of the issues of language, memory, trauma, and the unconscious I will try to show how memory and trauma are both personal and communal, and how they shape - through language - the psychohistory of the individual.

Politicizing Aesthetics
Authors: Detsi-Diamanti Zoe
Published: November 2021

The aim of this paper is to explore the changing aesthetic and ideological connotations of the representation of America as an Indian woman in the sixteenth-century engravings of the discovery and conquest of the New World and the late-eighteenth-century political cartoons of America's national conflict and eventual secession from mother England. In both cases, the male enterprise of colonization and nation-making is aesthetically expressed in the fetishistic and symbolic representation of the female body as the simultaneously alluring and devouring female, seductively naked before the white male European, and as the victim of political violence and the national struggle for independence.

'Im-marginable Langscape'
Authors: Sabatini Federico
Published: November 2021

This paper explores the subtle union (and dis-union) between space and place and their relationship to human consciousness. It begins by delineating some crucial epistemological views which poignantly elucidate the essence of the topic (Aristotle, Bruno) and relates these closely to Joyce and Beckett. Spatial re-creation in early Joyce is analyzed next, in order to enlighten, in the style of Dubliners and A Portrait, the ability to render the materiality and volume of places (as argued in Hamon's theory of dynamic description) and the simultaneous a-material character of imagined or transcended space (such as the European Continent in Gabriel Conroy's imagination). Particular emphasis is put on the suspended states of spacelessness during which consciousness absorbs the surrounding physical world in a timeless feeling de-materializing space (as illustrated by Bachelard). Beckett's own depiction, in contrast, is defined as placelessness, a devaluation which shows a more de-material aspect than a-material spacelessness. Beckett's de-creation of real inhabitable places echoes/mirrors the absolute reduction of his language, whereas Joyce, by furthering his experimentation, accentuates the hypertrophic re-creation of places within an "immarginable" space, in which places melt into language, so as to enlarge a landscape and turn it into a personal, and yet universal, "langscape."

Woman as Alien
Authors: Oramus Dominika
Published: November 2021

This paper shows how Carter revitalizes the once-popular genre of catastrophic fiction. First I briefly characterize this genre and place Heroes and Villains in its context. Then I discuss decay and entropy depicted in the novel as symptomatic to the decay of pre-holocaust symbolic order. Next, I describe how the protagonist challenges the patriarchal social order based on the set of false binary oppositions and attempts to disrupt the old and to create a genuinely new feminist civilization. Similarly, Carter’s novel disrupts old schemes and set formulas of disaster fiction and creates a radically new fantastic narrative of society ruled by women-aliens.

Getting at 'The Figure in the Carpet'
Authors: Batta Tamás Ivor
Published: November 2021

According to Wolfgang Iser, "The Figure in the Carpet" by Henry James is concerned with questions of the nature of literary meaning. In Iser's paradigmatic interpretation James's story juxtaposes two radically different conceptions of meaning: according to one, meaning is something to be found in the text itself and the critic's job is precisely to "dig up" that meaning. According to the other, meaning is only structured, but not contained, by the text: meaning comes into being in the very process of reading, as reader and text interact with each other. Iser thinks it is this second view of literary meaning James subscribes to. As opposed to Iser, I place the interpretation of James's story in the context of Romanticism. In this reading, it is not two different conceptions of meaning that James juxtaposes, but two different modes of reading. One, exemplified by the narrator of the story, is superficial, journalistic, and platitudinous; the other, represented by Corvick and Gwendolyn, is passionate and profound and reflects James's own Romantic theory of reading. I also analyze a number of different theoretical texts by James, thus attempting to work out a more convincing hermeneutic fore-structure for interpreting the story than that of Iser's.
Queen Elizabeth and the “Judgement of Paris”
Authors: Stróbl Erzsébet
Published: November 2021

The antique story of the Judgement of Paris was adapted to the language of courtly praise of royal women in sixteenth-century England. Absorbing the early modern interpretation of the tale as the praise of a balanced life (triplex vita), the motif lent itself well to the flattery of Queen Elizabeth appearing in the genres of poetry, pageantry, drama, and painting. However, within the Elizabethan context, the elements of the myth were slightly transformed in order to fit the cultural and political needs of the court. From the mid-1560s onwards, the elaboration of the theme became part of a broadening classical discourse within the praise of Queen Elizabeth, and the introduction of a fourth goddess, Diana, from the early 1580s foregrounded the emergence of her Virgin Queen cult. Furthermore, the tale of the Judgement of Paris represented a synthesis of the flattery of female excellence and the growing popularity of the pastoral tradition in English literature which highlighted the conceit of praising Elizabethan England as the land of a new Golden Age.

From “Resolute” to “Dissolved”
Authors: Hargitai Márta
Published: November 2021

Marlowe’ s Doctor Faustus has a lot to offer when interpreted in the context of belief and disbelief. From the beginning, Faustus repeatedly reminds himself that he should be resolute, but at the end of the play, he wishes above all to be like beasts whose souls are soon dissolved in elements—he, however, is convinced that his soul “must live still to be plagued in hell.” This certainty of the existence of hell is the end-point, something we have not only expected but known from the beginning, when Faustus casually and mockingly calls hell a fable. In this paper, I discuss various aspects of the play’ s belief-disbelief spectrum, as well as that of fixity and change. I focus on Faustus’ s changes of belief-states arguing that he only dismisses old beliefs so that he can find a final saving belief and he only changes to reach a final state where he will need to change no more. The paper suggests that, in a way, he accomplishes both goals, but it is not exactly the way he imagined or hoped for.

Death assumes many faces in Macbeth, but the variety of corpses and ghosts which tyrannise the play’s protagonist signals problems larger than one man’s ruthlessness or paranoia. Contemporary ballads often feature similar ontological confusion about where and how life ends, sometimes imagining the dead with the same sense of their vital non-being, moral authority, cunning magic, and important place in the community. Like Macbeth, these ballads also powerfully theorise the way offical power reconfigures social space, reconstructing neighborhoods as places of surveillance and households as sites of neglect, streets as settings where poverty spreads, and families as traps where new life gets put out. In fastening their gaze upon dead bodies which subvert rot and defy decay, Macbeth and contemporary ballads picture the collective social body as something that sprawls and suffers and moves but does not grow, something that the state keeps alive but also near death.
'One Was a Woman, the Other a Man'

This paper explores the links between sexuality and subjectivity in Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye, Sula, Song of Solomon, and Paradise. The theories of Jacques Lacan and Nancy Chodorow are employed to examine the anatomical and social / symbolic factors that lead Morrison's subjects to adopt a gendered self. Chodorow's argument that the mother's gender and preoedipal relationship with her child have a profound bearing on the child's gender identity and subsequent sense of self is cited in addressing gender formation and male-female relationships in Morrison's novels. Lacan's view of gender formation as positioning the gendered subject in a particular position in relation to language / the Symbolic system is also considered. Lacan's and Chodorow's concepts are applied in a study of a number of issues pertaining to sexuality and identity, including: homosexuality and 'deviant' sexuality as perceived threats to normative patriarchal gender systems in The Bluest Eye and Paradise; the discord apparent in male-female relationships in Morrison's novels; and the marginalisation of mothers and women as 'other.'
Menace and Play

Irish Drama has changed radically over the last century, and especially during the last decade of the twentieth century. Globally, the state of Irish theatre has never seemed healthier. The vibrancy and recent accomplishments, in terms of box office and awards, of Martin McDonagh, Conor McPherson, Frank McGuinness, Marina Carr, Marie Jones, and of course Brian Friel bear this out. Just as clearly, there has been a dissolution of a dramatic practice that goes back to J.M. Synge and Sean O'Casey, that consolidated in the late 1950s and early 60s, and that later matured and modified, while retaining reasonably consistent artistic aspirations and fundamentals. I map this transition by portraying what seems to me to be shared dramaturgical conventions of an older male generation and the demise or depreciation of those practices (there is still residual evidence of it) in a younger one. I will argue that it is a shift from a post-colonial to a postmodern consciousness that accounts for much of the changes. To make my case, I will work primarily with Brian Friel, Tom Murphy and Frank McGuinness and offset them against Sebastian Barry, Conor McPherson, Martin McDonagh and Mark O'Rowe.

The objective of this study was to investigate the anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity of curcumin with combination of different drugs using carrageenan induced paw edema model and writhing test in mice. Nimesulide and tenoxicam were administered orally at different doses of 2.5, 5.0 and 7.5 mg/kg and the lower doses of these drugs were also administered orally with curcumin 60 mg/kg. After, 1 hour 0.1 ml of carrageenan (i.e. 10 mg/ml) was injected into the sub-plantar region of right hind paw of the Wistar Albino rats (150-200g) and paw volume was measured after 30 mins 1 hr, 2 hr and 3 hr using a Plethysmometer. In analgesic activity, the drug ketorolac was used with combination of curcumin and number of writhes induced by glacial acetic acid administration in mice were observed. Administration of carrageenan produced significant edema in the hind paw of rats. The edema was found to be significantly inhibited by combination of curcumin 60 mg/kg and the lower doses of nimesulide & tenoxicam in different time interval and having comparable effects as of higher doses of these drugs. Similar results were also observed in analgesic activity. From this study it can be concluded that curcumin having synergistic effect when administered with combination different anti-inflammatory and analgesic agents.

Aspirin (ASA) has been utilized against many inflammatory disorders. In recent years a growing body of research also suggests its efficacy against cancer. The use of ASA in these conditions requires long-term treatment. However, gastro-toxicity associated with ASA is a major challenge. Household species including turmeric, ginger, and cinnamon have enjoyed medicinal values including gastroprotective properties. Accordingly, their co-use with ASA may be beneficial in ensuring a safe long-term treatment. With this objective, the study was undertaken which revealed encouraging effects. A positive interaction was found with analgesic effect and anti-inflammatory effect of ASA. Further, these spices were shown to prevent gastro toxicity of ASA. In conclusion, ginger and turmeric can be used to complement the use of ASA against inflammatory disorders without the deleterious effects on stomach mucosa.

El gliosarcoma es un tumor raro del sistema nervioso central y de alto grado de malignidad. La OMS lo clasifica como variante del glioblastoma (grado IV) y es de mal pronóstico. Histológicamente se caracteriza por tener componentes gliales y mesenquimatosos. El cuadro clínico varía dependiendo de su localización y tamaño, los signos y síntomas más frecuentes son convulsiones, cefalea y déficit neurológico focal. El acercamiento diagnóstico inicial es la tomografía computarizada que aporta datos de sospecha; sin embargo, la resonancia magnética constituye el pilar diagnóstico, con importantes elementos de diagnóstico que se vuelven más significativos con el uso de secuencias  funcionales como la tractografía. Se presenta un caso clínico con revisión de la literatura y los hallazgos más significativos en los estudios de imagen.
Biomass equations for rockrose (Cistus laurifolius L.) shrublands in North-central Spain

Aims of the study: To construct biomass weight equations for rockrose (Cistus laurifolius L.) shrublands in North-central Spain comparing different methodologies and evaluating the applicability of the current Spanish open PNOA-LiDAR data.
Area of study: The growing extension of Mediterranean shrublands associated with a high wildfire risk in a climate change scenario is considered a relevant source of biomass for energy use and bioproducts. Quantifying the biomass load of the shrublands provides essential information for adequate management, calling for the development of equations to estimate said biomass loads in the most extensive monospecific shrublands.
Materials and methods: Biomass dry weight from 290 destructive sampling plots (ø4m) and 426 individual plants along with LiDAR data from PNOA were related to dasometric parameters to fit weight per surface and weight per plant equations.
Main results: Three new equations improve rockrose biomass estimations in North-central Spain: a) Weight per unit area (tDM.ha-1) equation (Eq. 1) based on apparent biovolume (product of crown cover in percentage by average height in meters) (Radj2 0.69, MAE 26.1%, RMSE 38.4%); b) Weight per plant (kgDM.plant-1) equation (Eq. 2) from height and crown diameter (Radj2 0.87, MAE 26.5%, RMSE 45.2%) and c) Weight per unit area equation (tDM.ha-1) (Eq. 3) based on LiDAR data contrasted with field data (Radj2 0.89, MAE 15.1%, RMSE 22.9%).
Research highlights: Eq. 1 and Eq. 3 combined with high resolution LiDAR information offer rockrose (Cistus laurifolius L.) biomass estimations without added field work costs that are an improvement on certain more general studies carried out in other areas of Spain.
Keywords: Shrub; wildfire prevention; forest energy; LiDAR; weight biomass equations.
