Authors: Dotare Taishi , Maeda Daichi , Matsue Yuya , Nakamura Yutaka , Sunayama Tsutomu , Iso Takashi , Nakade Taisuke , Minamino Tohru
Published: June 2023

Background
Although nutritional assessment and education are important for patients hospitalized with heart failure, the extent of their implementation in real-world clinical practice is unknown. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to investigate the evaluation and management of nutrition during hospitalization for heart failure using a questionnaire survey for cardiologists.
Methods
In this cross-sectional multicenter survey, 147 cardiologists from 32 institutions completed a web-based questionnaire (response rate, 95%).
Results
The survey showed that 78.2% of the respondents performed a nutritional assessment for hospitalized patients, whereas 38.3% used objective tools. In contrast, only 9.5% of the respondents evaluated the presence or absence of cardiac cachexia. Most respondents (89.8%) reported providing nutritional education to their patients before hospital discharge. However, compared with the number of respondents who provided information on sodium (97.0%) and water (63.6%) restrictions, a limited number of respondents provided guidance on optimal protein (20.5%) and micronutrient (9.1%) intake as part of the nutritional education. Less than 50% of the respondents provided guidance on optimal calorie intake (43.2%) and ideal body weight (34.8%) as a part of the nutritional education for patients identified as malnourished.
Conclusions
Although nutritional assessment is widely performed for hospitalized patients with heart failure, most assessments are subjective rather than objective. Nutritional education, frequently provided before hospital discharge, is limited to information on water or salt intake restrictions. Therefore, more comprehensive and individualised nutritional assessments and counselling with a scientific basis are required.

Published: June 2023

Background and Objectives:
Hepatic steatosis has become the most common cause of chronic liver disease among children worldwide. Lipophagy has been considered as a pathway affecting steatosis development and progression. This study aimed to evaluate the immunohistochemical expression of Beclin1 and LC3A in pediatric hepatic tissues with steatosis and to correlate their expression with clinicopathological parameters.
Methods
This study included 81 Egyptian pediatric patients with hepatic steatosis. Also, 21 pediatric cases without hepatic steatosis were included. All specimens were stained by Beclin1 and LC3A antibodies.
Results
Higher beclin1 expression was significantly correlated with higher stages of fibrosis and distorted liver architecture in chronic liver diseases group, (P = 0.043) for both. The higher positivity, percentage and median values of H score of LC3A expression were seen in control group rather than in chronic liver disease group or the inborn error of metabolism group (P = 0.055, 0.001, 0.008 respectively). Higher positivity of LC3A was significantly associated with higher stages of fibrosis and distorted liver architecture in the studied inborn error of metabolism group (P = 0.021) for both.
Conclusions
Fluctuation of autophagy at different stages of pediatric hepatic steatosis and different disease etiology proved by different intensity grades of Beclin 1 and LC3A immunohistochemical expression.

Published: June 2023

Introduction: Due to a lack of time and staff, informed consent (IC) in clinical practice often lacks clarity, comprehensibility and scope of information. Digital media offer great potential to enhance IC, but are still too rarely used. Aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of multimedia-supported compared to traditional paper-based IC.
Methods: In the randomized, controlled, three-arm DICon (Digital Informed Consent for urological surgery) study 70 patients with an indication for prostate biopsy were randomized 1:1:1 to receive traditional paper-based IC vs. multimedia-supported information before IC vs. multimedia-supported information during IC. Patient satisfaction, anxiety and information gain were measured by validated questionnaires 2 weeks and directly before the procedure and time efficiency was recorded. Statistical analysis was performed using Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn's test (one-way ANOVA) and two-way ANOVA (with bonferroni post-test).
Results: Multimedia information prior to the consultation saved 32.9% time compared to paper-based (5.3 min. vs. 9.5 min; p<0.05) and 60.4% time compared to shared multimedia information (5.3 min. vs. 13.9 min.; p<0.001), with no difference in satisfaction (62.6 vs. 62.7 vs. 68.6 of max. 80; p=0.07), anxiety (8 vs. 8.1 vs. 7 of max. 16; p=0.35), or information gain (6.5 vs. 5.7 vs. 6.7 of max. 10; p=0.23). Results on satisfaction (56.6 vs. 62.6 vs. 66; p=0.06), anxiety (7.2 vs. 7.2 vs. 6.8; p=0.84), and information gain (7 vs. 6.4 vs. 5.9; p=0.43) remained stable over time.
Conclusions: Multimedia-supported IC provided improved time efficiency (33% gain) compared to traditional paper-based IC, with comparable satisfaction, anxiety and information gain. Multimedia-supported information materials should therefore be used more frequently in patient education.
Case Report: Psychiatric comorbidity in the setting of encephalomalacia and gliosis
Authors: Leong Wei , Chadha Priyal , Bach Edward
Published: June 2023

Background
We report a case of an adult female with a history of multifocal encephalomalacia and gliosis following multiple strokes confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging, who presented with neuropsychiatric symptomatology. Encephalomalacia and gliosis of the brain are pathological changes in brain tissue associated with cerebral vascular and traumatic injury, and can present with a variety of symptoms ranging from cognitive decline to psychosis. Neurological manifestations following a stroke are well-documented, but there are few reports of adults with psychiatric symptomatology in the setting of encephalomalacia and gliosis in the caudate nucleus following stroke. Herein we discuss the psychiatric symptom profile and management associated with this lesion, while emphasizing the importance of brain imaging to gain a deeper understanding of its correlation with psychiatric manifestations.
Case presentation
A 64-year-old female with a history of multiple strokes and psychiatric history of generalized anxiety disorder was admitted to an inpatient psychiatry unit due to a 3-month history of worsening anxiety, depression, and functioning. Brain imaging revealed a new-onset focus of encephalomalacia and gliosis of the body of the left caudate, consistent with a transient ischemic attack diagnosed 3–4 months prior to psychiatric hospitalization. While admitted, the patient was treated with risperidone, sertraline, trazodone, gabapentin, and lorazepam with improvement in symptoms of anxiety, mood, and functioning.
Conclusions
Brain imaging in psychiatry is typically used to differentiate organic or structural causes of psychiatric symptoms from functional disorders, but lesions in specific areas of the brain and their clinical correlates are not well-characterized. This case in particular provides support for the involvement of the caudate nucleus in the development of neuropsychiatric symptoms, and is important for understanding the psychopathology of neuropsychiatric disorders with potential to guide treatment for these patients.
Cargo chain: Cargo Management in Port Logistics with Blockchain Technology
Authors: Kasaei Amirmohsen , Albadvi Amir
Published: June 2023

Efficient port management and logistics operations are critical to global trade and transportation services. However, current port logistics transport systems are highly centralized and offer limited opportunities for collaboration between different stakeholders. In addition, existing systems fail to provide traceability, transparency, information security, and immutability of data stored and exchanged during various operational processes. As a result, the productivity of port terminals is adversely affected, Blockchain is an emerging technology that provides traceability, transparency, and audibility through immutable provenance data of trusted on-chain transactions decentralized without intermediaries or trusted third parties. In this research, we discuss the potential role of blockchain technology for port logistics operations and services. We present frameworks that improve port logistics operations and utilize permissioned blockchain architectures to design a cargo chain for the port. Finally, we outline open research issues and challenges that are barriers to adoption.
Research on an Improved YOLOv7 Algorithm for Road Surface Crack Detection
Authors: Weng Guangliang , Liu Dongsheng , Liu Linya , Wan Qianghua , Wu Songying
Published: June 2023

This paper proposes an improved YOLOv7 algorithm for road surface crack detection to address the issues of low accuracy and inefficiency in complex background scenarios. Firstly, road surface crack sample data images with varying degrees of damage are collected in different road sections. The data is then processed using bilateral filtering and histogram equalization to create a high-quality road surface defect database. Next, efficient pyramid spatial attention (EPSA) modules and efficient spatial channel dual attention (SA) modules are embedded in the Backbone module of the original YOLOv7 network. Furthermore, improvements are made to the feature fusion path of the E-ELAN module by introducing skip connections and 1×1 convolutional structures between ELAB modules, enhancing the detection efficiency and overall performance of the network model. The preprocessed data is then used to train the improved YOLOv7 model, and the attention decision mechanism of the model is analyzed using Grad-CAM technology. Finally, a road surface defect intelligent detection system is developed based on the PyQt5 framework. Experimental results show that the improved YOLOv7 model achieves the highest recognition accuracy, recall rate, and mAP0.5 value for road surface cracks at 98.95%, 97.08%, and 98.97%, respectively. Compared to the original YOLOv7 model, the improved model demonstrates improvements in various evaluation metrics, meeting the requirements of road surface crack detection.

Published: June 2023

Background:
Patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer (PC) sometimes experience gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) due to tumor invasion of the gastrointestinal tract (tumor bleeding), and no standard treatment has been established yet for this complication. Palliative radiotherapy (PRT) could be promising, however, there are few reports of PRT for tumor bleeding in patients with unresectable PC. Therefore, we evaluated the outcomes of PRT for tumor bleeding in unresectable PC patients.
Methods:
We reviewed the medical records of patients with unresectable PC diagnosed at our institution between May 2013 and January 2022, and identified patients with endoscopically confirmed tumor bleeding who had received PRT. PRT was administered at a total dose of 30 Grays (Gy) in 10 fractions, 20 Gy in 5 fractions, or 8 Gy in a single fraction, and the dose selection was left to the discretion of the radiation oncologists.
Results:
During the study period, 2562 patients were diagnosed as having unresectable PC at our hospital, of which 225 (8.8%) exhibited GIB. Among the 225 patients, 63 (2.5%) were diagnosed as having tumor bleeding and 20 (0.8%) received PRT. Hemostasis was achieved in 14 of the 20 patients (70%), and none developed grade 3 or more adverse events related to the PRT. The median time to hemostasis was 8.5 days (range, 7–14 days). The rebleeding rate was 21.4% (3/14). The median hemoglobin level increased significantly (p < 0.001) from 5.9 g/dL to 9.1 g/dL, and the median volume of red blood cell transfusion tended (p = 0.052) to decrease from 1120 mL (range, 280–3360 mL) to 280 mL (range, 0-5560 mL) following the PRT. The median overall survival (OS) was 52 days (95% confidence interval [CI], 39–317). Of the 14 patients in whom hemostasis was achieved, chemotherapy could be started/resumed in seven patients (50%), and the median OS in these patients was 260 days (95% CI, 76-not evaluable [NE]). Three patients experienced rebleeding (21.4%), on days 16, 22, and 25 after the start of PRT.
Conclusion:
This study showed that PRT is an effective and safe treatment modality for tumor bleeding in patients with unresectable PC.
Screening for differentially expressed memory genes on a diabetes model induced by high sugar diet in Drosophila melanogaster: potential players for memory deficits
Authors: Loreto Julia Sepel , Ferreira Sabrina Antunes , de Almeida Pamela , Rocha João Batista da , Barbosa Nilda de Vargas
Published: June 2023

Type two diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has been shown to affect a series of cognitive processes including memory, increasing the risk for dementia, particularly Alzheimer's disease (AD). Although increasing evidence has supported that both diseases share common features, the pathophysiological mechanisms connecting these two disorders remain to be fully elucidated. Herein, we utilized Drosophila melanogaster fed on a high-sugar diet (HSD) to mimic T2DM, and investigate its effects on memory as well as identify potential molecular players associated with the memory deficits induced by HSD. Flies hatched from and reared on HSD for 7 days had a substantial decrease in short-term memory (STM). The screening for memory-related genes using transcriptome data revealed that HSD altered the expression of 33% of memory genes in relation to the control. Among the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) with a fold-change (FC) higher than two, we found five genes, related to synapse and memory trace formation, that could be considered strong candidates to underlie the STM deficits in HSD flies: Abl tyrosine kinase (Abl), Bruchpilot (Brp), Minibrain (Mnb), Skaker (Sh), and Gilgamesh (Gish). We also analyzed genes from the dopamine system, one the most relevant signaling pathways for olfactory memory. Interestingly, the flies fed on HSD presented a decreased expression of the Tyrosine hydroxylase (Ple) and Dopa decarboxylase (Ddc) genes, signals of a possible dopamine deficiency. In this work, we present promising “biomarkers” to investigate molecular networks shared between T2DM and AD.

Published: June 2023

Background: to analysed the effect of Orthosiphon aristatus on repairing skin lesions by regulating cytokines such as IgE, IL4, IL22, PGE2, NO in DNCB-induced Atopic Dermatitis BALB/C Mice Model
Methods: used BALB/C Mice which were sensitized by DNCB for 21 days to developed atopic dermatitis model. Mice were administered oral Orthosiphon aristatus extract once daily (on last 14 days after 7 days of sensitization). The doses given were divided into 6 groups: 17.5 mg/kgbw, 35 mg/kgbw, 70 mg/kgbw, and 140 mg/kgbw. We analysed the levels of cytokines such as IgE, IL4, IL22, PGE2 obtained from the blood. Additionally, we also measured morphological skin lesion severity to confirmed the amelioration effect clinically.
Results: Administration of Orthosiphon aristatus extract reduced the skin lesion severity in all intervention groups. The clinical improvement was supported by decrease of IgE, IL4, IL22, and PGE2 in dose dependent manner.
Conclussion: Orthosiphon aristatus alleviates DNCB-induced Atopic Dermatitis BALB/C Mice Model clinically through downregulating of IgE, IL4, IL22, PGE2, NO levels.

Purpose
Given the relatively scarce evidence on mental health of the military personnel in the South Asian region, this study was conducted to assess the burnout status and factors associated with burnout among Army personnel in Sri Lanka.
Methods
A cross-sectional study was conducted in a selected Security Forces Headquarters in Sri Lanka using a self-administered questionnaire including the validated Sinhala version of the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI) to assess the burnout status. The 19-item CBI assessed three burnout subscales (personal, work-related, and client-related) using a five-point Likert scale. The summary statistics of the overall and subscale burnout scores were presented with mean (SD) and median (IQR). The statistically significant factors in the bivariate analysis (p < 0.05) were included in the multiple linear regression model to assess the independent associations of the factors with the overall burnout score.
Results
The response rate was 80.2% (n = 481). The majority were males (n = 467,97.5%). The mean (SD) age was 39.6 (4.8) years. The mean (SD) overall burnout score was 26.5 (13.3). In the bivariate analysis, service duration, job satisfaction, perceived satisfactory physical health and mental health revealed statistically significant results (p < 0.05). In the multiple linear regression, satisfactory level of perceived physical health (p = 0.046) and perceived mental health (p < 0.001) emerged as statistically significant independent predictors of overall burnout score.
Conclusion
The overall burnout score is relatively low among the Army personnel in the selected Security Forces Headquarters in Sri Lanka. Satisfactory levels of perceived physical health and mental health are significant independent predictors of burnout among Army personnel.

Published: June 2023

Background: we sought to determine the clinical and growth parameters associated with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in infants with necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) and spontaneous ileal perforation (SIP).
Methods: Retrospective cohort study comparing clinical information before and following NEC/SIP onset in neonates with and without severe ROP (Type 1 and 2).
Results: Those with severe ROP (32/109, 39.5%) had lower GA, BW, chorioamnionitis, later median onset of ROP diagnosis and received Penrose drain and had higher AKI, poor weight z scores, poor linear growth, longer duration of ventilation and higher FIo2 than those without ROP following NEC/SIP. The GA and diagnosis at later age remained significant for any ROP on multi regression modelling.
Conclusion: The surgical NEC/SIP infants with severe ROP were more likely to be younger, smaller, had AKI, had higher oxygen exposure and poor weight gain and linear growth than those without severe ROP.
New binary [72,36,12] self-dual codes from block circulant matrix
Authors: Yu Cong , Zhu Shixin , Wu Tingting
Published: June 2023

In this work, we use five different forms of generator matrix to construct self-dual codes over $\mathbb{F}_{8}$. Then we establish a mapping from $\mathbb{F}_{8}$ to $\mathbb{F}_2$} which enables us to map a linear code of length $n$ over $\mathbb{F}_{8}$ to a binary linear code of length $3n$ and preserves orthogonality. We employ the five forms of generator matrix to construct binary [72,36,12] self-dual codes and find 180 singly-even and 1 doubly-even codes with new parameter in their weight enumerators which are not known before. We summarize all of our discoveries in tables.
Toward an Equity Agenda for Black Girls and Women in STEM Learning Spaces and Careers: Noticing, Validating, and Humanizing
Authors: King Natalie S
Published: June 2023

This editorial and themed issue is a call to redirect our efforts from teaching Black women and girls how to navigate and persist in toxic STEM learning environments to a greater vision of being and becoming. As we consider what becoming means for Black girls who transition into Black women in STEM learning spaces and careers, there is often an untold story of struggle, resistance, and resilience. I present the experiences of three Black women physicists who in very recent years became the first, while contributors in this issue share cutting-edge scholarship on how Black girls engage in youth participatory action research, the role of race and gender discrimination on Black girls’ mathematical attitudes and beliefs, and how Black girls develop scientific literacies in elementary classrooms. Additional research explores how Black women experience imposter syndrome in their pursuit of terminal STEM degrees, while the final piece in this issue shares counternarratives of Black women engineering teachers by drawing attention to aspirational capital and communal support. We elevate the voices of Black women and girls to author their own stories as unsung heroes in this body of work and reposition them as experts of their experiences. This courageous and radical shift requires coconspirators and agitators to move the equity agenda forward so that Black girls and women are not burdened with the labor of undoing, disrupting, and dismantling systems of oppression that they did not create.
Discomfort, Resistance, and Othering: A Poetic Inquiry into Urban Teacher Preparation Program Redesign
Authors: Favors Welch Shaneeka , Neely Adrian N. , Mason Chisholm Glenda , Behm Cross Stephanie
Published: June 2023

This article explores the experiences of three Black female doctoral students and one White female professor as they engaged in a doctoral seminar course on the redesign of an undergraduate urban teacher preparation program at their university. Borne out of a promise to one another to write about our experiences navigating increasingly complex and politicized dynamics within the college, we explore how we, as current and future teacher educators, make sense of reform in teacher preparation. We drew from the literature on neoliberalism, whiteness as a wicked problem in teacher education, colonialism, and teacher educators’ work in the “swamp” throughout our course, for our proposals, and this article. We utilized poetic inquiry methodology to explore the real, everyday implications of program redesign in our lives and our careers. Equally important is our use of critical race theory to examine and make sense of our experiences as we engaged in this work. We discuss differences across our program redesigns, our reflections on why those differences might exist, and a reflection on the process of engaging in this way in a doctoral program. Our findings revealed feelings of discomfort with and resistance to a teacher education program redesign that centers racialized contexts in the spirit of social justice. We concluded with implications for research, policy, and the practice of teacher education as we write to understand, write to resist, and write to survive.
A strengths-based qualitative exploration of academic motivation strategies among lower-income Black college women attending PWIs
Authors: Leath Seanna , Jones Martinque , Chavous Tabbye
Published: June 2023

The present study explored motivating factors and sources of interpersonal and institutional support related to the academic persistence and success of self-identified lower-income Black women attending predominantly White institutions (PWIs). Data were drawn from interviews with a sample of 12 Black undergraduate women. Our analyses suggest that participants: (1) drew on positive academic experiences within and outside the classroom; (2) focused on short-term goals and long-term ambitions of upward social mobility and career success; and (3) considered academic persistence a form of resistance against deficit-based narratives of Black womanhood. Authors discuss implications for higher education policies and practices related to Black women’s academic success.

Published: June 2023

This disquisition is a phenomenological exploration of the lived experiences and identity construction of Black women undergraduates (BWU) at predominantly white institutions (PWIs). While recent literature has focused on Black women and graduate studies, this article’s explicit focus on BWU provides a needed perspective in the field, contributing to our growing understanding of the experiences of Black women at PWIs. The purpose of this study was to examine BWUs’ academic, social, and cultural lived experiences and the ways in which they constructed their identities within their respective PWIs environments. Situated upon a critical race feminist theoretical framework, data was collected through semi-structured interviews with seven participants.  Findings reveal that BWU engage in various degrees of negotiating contexts, managing subjectivities, and (re)defining identities while navigating their respective campuses. This study supports extant and emerging literature centered on the experiences of BWU at PWIs, and extends the field’s understanding of the intersection between their lived experiences and their identity construction while attending PWIs, specifically.  Our findings illuminate PWIs’ responsibility to transform systems and practices in order to foster positive academic and social experiences for BWU.
Breast Cancer Classification Using Outlier Detection and Variance Inflation Factor
Authors: Juarto Budi
Published: June 2023

In terms of malignant tumors, breast cancer is one of the most prevalent. Breast cancer is a form of cancer that develops in the breast tissue when the surrounding, healthy breast tissue is overtaken by the uncontrollably growing cells in the breast tissue. Several features or patient conditions can be used in a machine learning approach to predict breast cancer. Machine learning will be utilized in these situations to determine if the cancer is malignant or benign. The Wisconsin Breast Cancer (Diagnostic) Data Set, which contains 32 characteristics and 569 collected data, was the dataset used in this research.. Feature selection in this study is done by eliminating outliers using the upper and lower quartile of each feature then feature selection is also carried out on features that have features that have a high variance inflation factor. The machine learning methods used in this research are Logistic Regression, Random Forest, KNN, SVC, XG Boost, Gradient Boosting, and Ridge Classifier. The selection of this method is based on the target that will be predicted by 2 labels, namely benign cancer, and malignant cancer. The result obtained is that the selection of features using the variance inflation factor increases the accuracy of the previous Logistic Regression and Random Forest methods from 98.25% to 99.12%. The method that has the highest level of accuracy is the Logistic Regression and Random Forest methods which have a value of 99.12%. The next research will be developed by trying other optimization techniques for hyperparameter tuning.

Several people try to break into vehicles and steal vehicles left by their owners, sometimes even without the owner's knowledge. There are still various ways that can be done to a turn on the vehicle without the key from the vehicle so that the vehicle can be stolen easily. Due to the ease of break-in from some vehicles, several additional security implementations can be installed. One of these ways is to implement IoT and RFID. There are several implementations of IoT as an extra device for safety and tracking vehicles. RFID can be Implemented as an additional key or access. IoT and RFID can be combined to provide additional safety for vehicles and prevent vehicle theft. This research aims to propose a device that uses IoT technology and RFID to keep the vehicle safe and track the use of the vehicle. This research use Arduino, RFID, and GPS module. The proposed device was tested under various conditions of RFID use and the level of accuracy of the GPS module used. The test results show that the proposed tool can work well for security and tracking needs.

Manoel Bomfim: O pensamento educacional higienista e a perspectiva (des)colonial
Authors: Adams Telmo , Arrua Andrew Reis
Published: June 2023

O artigo apresenta um ensaio crítico do pensamento educacional de Manoel Bomfim, condicionado pelo pensamento higienista vigente no final do século 19, para identificar em que medida o autor reproduziu características que hoje reconhecemos como colonialidade ou descolonialidade. A partir de uma contextualização do seu pensamento, por meio de um estudo bibliográfico, conclui-se que a produção de um pensamento pedagógico, a partir de sua experiência de professor, ampliou a visão de educação higienista da época para uma compreensão de saúde preventiva. Como um dos precursores da luta pela universalização do direito à educação, rejeitou determinismos que relacionavam as inferioridades raciais e condições ambientais à impossibilidade de um desenvolvimento autônomo dos países latino-americanos, denunciando que as causas dos males de origem se devem à exploração das colônias pelas metrópoles.
Atividade física e saúde na educação física escolar: perspectivas de professores formadores
Authors: Nascimento Kessiane Fernandes , Torres Aline Lima , Ferreira Heraldo Simões
Published: June 2023

Este estudo objetivou analisar a compreensão de professores do ensino superior acerca da relação teórico-metodológica entre atividade física e saúde nas aulas de Educação Física escolar. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida com sete professores de um curso de licenciatura em Educação Física de uma instituição privada que responderam um questionário composto por seis questões. O resultado mostrou ampla diversidade na compreensão da concepção de saúde, havendo entre eles tanto os que a associaram exclusivamente à ausência de doenças, como os que a entenderam como um direito social de perspectiva coletiva. Ao relacionar a saúde com a Educação Física escolar, percebeu-se que ainda existe a ideia de que esta disciplina é a principal responsável por abordar o tema, desconsiderando uma proposta coletiva e colaborativa entre os diferentes atores da escola. Com relação à atividade física no contexto da Educação Física escolar, cinco participantes posicionaram-se estabelecendo uma relação de causalidade com a saúde, e apenas dois a relativizaram a outros fatores. Ainda há um distanciamento significativo entre a compreensão de alguns professores e a proposta trazida pelo paradigma atual da Promoção da Saúde no que concerne à relação teórico-metodológica entre atividade física e saúde no contexto das aulas de Educação Física escolar.

Precision Medicine in Head and Neck Cancer
Authors: Park Hye-sung , Kang Jin-Hyoung
Published: June 2023

Technological advancement in human genome analysis and ICT (information & communication technologies) brought ‘precision medicine’ into our clinical practice. Precision medicine is a novel medical approach that provides personalized treatments tailored to each individual by precisely segmenting patient populations, based on robust data including a person’s genetic information, disease information, lifestyle information, etc. Precision medicine has a potential to be applied to treating a range of tumors, in addition to non-small cell lung cancer, in which precision oncology has been actively practiced. In this article, we are reviewing precision medicine in head and neck cancer (HNC) with focus on tumor agnostic biomarkers and treatments such as NTRK, MSI-H/dMMR, TMB-H and BRAF V600E, all of which were recently approved by U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Authors: Yoon Young Soo , Kim Geon Hwi , Min Kyung Hee
Published: June 2023

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common skin cancer. Ultraviolet radiation exposure and genetic predisposition are known to be the most important etiological factors. Multiple BCC is often associated with genetic familial conditions such as BCC syndrome, basal cell nevus syndrome. We present a case of 54-year-old female who had multiple BCC that had reoccurred. She was completely cured after receiving radio-chemotherapy for leukemia 16 years ago. She had multiple lesions (scalp, left thigh, right popliteal fossa, and right buttock), and had underwent wide excisions of all lesions. All biopsies revealed BCC. Six years later, she had also multiple lesions; left forehead, frontal vertex scalp, parietal vertex scalp, right occipital scalp, and lower abdomen. We performed wide excision. Histopathological examination revealed BCC. She had no signs of any BCC associated syndrome. We report a rare case of nonsyndromic multiple BCC that reoccurred at the new site.
Transoral Drainage of Plunging Ranula using Intraoperative Ultrasonography after Sublingual Gland Resection: A Case Report
Authors: Kim Seo Bin , Kim Yeong Joon , Lee So Yeon , Lee Hyoung Shin
Published: June 2023

Sublingual resection is known as the most effective treatment of choice to prevent recurrence in patients with plunging ranula. In this case report, we present our experience with a 37 year-old man with prolonged upper neck mass diagnosed as plunging ranula. He had persisting mass lesion even after 4 times of sclerotherapy. Due to fibrotic change the pseudocyst could not be drained after removing the sublingual gland. To resolve the mass lesion, ultrasonography guided transoral drainage was performed. Intraoperative ultrasonography may be useful for transoral drainage of plunging ranula difficult to approach after sublingual resection.

Taş Mastik Asfalt (TMA) kaplamalar dayanıklılığı ve çatlaklara karşı direnci artırmak gibi avantajlara sahiptir. Kesikli gradasyonlu TMA kaplamaları tekerlek izini azaltması, yorulma çatlaklarını geciktirmesi nedeni ile daha fazla tercih edilmektedir. TMA kaplamaların filler ve bitüm oranı geleneksel asfalt kaplamalara göre daha fazladır. TMA kaplamalarının olumlu yönleri yanında önlem alınması gereken bazı olumsuz yönleri de mevcuttur. Plentte üretimin yapılıp yolda uygulanmasına kadar geçen zaman içinde bitüm aşağıya doğru süzülmektedir. Bitümün süzülmesi kaplamadaki homojenliğin bozmaya sebep olmaktadır. Bunun yanında TMA karışımı finişer ile yola serilip silindirle sıkıştırma yapılması sonucunda bitümlü bağlayıcı, kaplamanın içinden yüzeye doğru çıkarak kusma yapmaktadır. Bu çalışmada sabit gradasyona sahip, elyaflı ve elyafsız TMA karışımları için farklı agrega ve bitüm kullanılmasının süzülme yüzdesine etkisi araştırılmıştır. Yapılan Schellenberger bitüm süzülme deneyleri sonucunda bitüm özgül ağırlığı ve yumuşama noktası artışının süzülme yüzdesini azalttığı gözlenmiştir. Farklı agrega ile aynı rafineri bitümünden hazırlanan karışımlarda, agregaların bitüm absorbsiyonlarındaki azalmanın süzülme yüzdesini artırdığı ancak agregaların soyulma mukavemetlerinin artışı ve karışımın ince agrega kısmında Sedimanter Kayaç sınıfından agregaların kullanılması süzülme yüzdesini azalttığı tespit edilmiştir.

The research was carried out in the ecological conditions of the Ranya region of Sulaymaniyah province, Iraq in the summer growing season of 2020. The goal of the study was to investigate the impact of humic acid on the growth and yield of corn. The trial included two commercial cultivars (DKC6050 and DKC6664) and soil application of four rates of humic acid (HA1: 0 kg/ha, HA2: 60 kg/ha, HA3: 120 kg/ha and HA4: 180 kg/ha). The experiment was conducted according to the split-plot experimental design in randomized blocks. In the study, a trial pattern was designed so that varieties were placed in the main plots, and doses of humic acid were placed in the subplots for a more precise investigation of their effects on the cultivars. In the experiment, the characteristics of growth, yield, and yield components were examined. According to the results, it was determined that applying humic acid positively affected all vegetative and yield parameters except for the germination time, cob diameter, protein ratio, and oil ratio. As the result of the interaction between the cultivars and the humic acid doses, significant results were obtained for seed yield, 100 seeds weight, yield per plant, cob diameter, harvest index, leaf area index, stem diameter, and silk appearance time. The highest grain yield was obtained from the DKC6050 variety (9844.8 kg/ha). Responses of cultivars to humic acid were the same and therefore no appreciable differences were observed between cultivars for comparison. However, it has been determined that the DKC6050 variety is a promising variety in terms of many characteristics and can be cultivated in the ecology where the research is carried out.

El objetivo de la investigación fue evaluar el vigor en el cultivo de jamaica (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) utilizando rizobacterias de Pseudomonas fluorences bajo condiciones de estrés ocasionado por sulfato de cobre (CuSO4), como una alternativa para la fitorremediación de suelos contaminados con aguas residuales. El experimento se realizó en las instalaciones del Colegio de Postgraduados, Campus Montecillo, México. Se utilizaron semillas de dos variedades de jamaica (var. Criolla y var. Araña) inoculadas con células de seis cepas bacterianas (M83, M67, M88, L168, M82_A y M82_C), las cuales fueron sembradas y cultivadas en un invernadero para determinar: longitud del tallo (LT), longitud de la raíz (LR), biomasa seca de la raíz (BSR), contenido de clorofila (CCL), número de hojas (NH), diámetro del tallo (DT) y volumen radical (VR). El diseño experimental implementado fue de bloques completamente al azar con un arreglo factorial (4 x 2 x 2 x 2). Las concentraciones de CuSO4 utilizadas en la siembra fueron 10-2 de concentración molar (M) para la var. Criolla y 10-6 M para la var. Araña. El tipo de suelo fue determinante porque causó diferencias significativas en la mayoría de las variables evaluadas, excepto en la LR, BSR y VR. La inoculación con cepas bacterianas causó inhibición en el crecimiento del DT en la var. Araña a los 80 días después de la siembra (dds). Las cepas que promovieron el crecimiento vegetal de las plantas de jamaica fueron la M83, M67 y M82 utilizadas en ambas variedades. Se concluye que las plantas de jamaica no presentaron efectos negativos debido a la condición de estrés causada por CuSO4. De manera general, la variedad que tuvo una mayor tolerancia al CuSO4 fue la var. Criolla, por lo cual, se puede considerar como una alternativa para la fitorremediación de suelos contaminados con aguas residuales.

El crecimiento urbano disperso en la Zona Metropolitana de Toluca (ZMT) se ha acelerado en las últimas décadas, y el ordenamiento ecológico y la planeación urbana se han visto rebasados. A la par, no se cuenta con estudios que orienten a la toma de decisiones para el aprovechamiento y el uso correcto del territorio. El objetivo de este estudio fue generar un modelo de evaluación de aptitud territorial para orientar la dirección del crecimiento urbano, a través de un análisis de capacidad de carga del territorio para un desarrollo urbano sustentable de la ZMT. Se identificaron zonas de expansión urbana de impactos en áreas con valor ecológico y ambiental, y áreas de riesgos socionaturales, con respecto al crecimiento urbano actual. Se proponen alternativas para reorientar la dirección y forma del crecimiento urbano con criterios de preservación de zonas productivas y ambientales.

Las aplicaciones de malatión UBV se consideran como una acción fundamental en el combate del picudo del algodonero Anthonomus grandis, Boheman, considerada como la principal plaga en la Comarca Lagunera. El presente estudio se realizó con el objetivo de conocer el efecto que generan las aplicaciones aéreas de malatión UBV en la fauna insectil benéfica asociada al cultivo del algodonero. Los muestreos se realizaron en cuatro predios con diferente número de aplicaciones aéreas durante el mes de agosto en los ciclos agrícolas 2018 y 2019 ubicados en el estado de Durango. Los muestreos consistieron en 20 golpes de red en cinco puntos de cada localidad, dando un total de 100 golpes por predio, posteriormente los insectos colectados fueron clasificados e identificados en el laboratorio. Las variables evaluadas fueron el número de insectos por 100 golpes de red de cada especie o grupo taxonómico. En el ciclo 2018 el predio de Lucero con dos aplicaciones aéreas presentó un mayor número de insectos entomófagos a comparación de los demás predios (F = 7.088, gl = 3, p = 0.001), en Britingham se realizaron tres aplicaciones aéreas, dos en Horizonte y en Pamplona únicamente una. En el ciclo 2019 no se observó una diferencia significativa entre los predios (F = 0.798, gl = 3, p = 0.503), en el predio de San Sebastián se realizaron tres aplicaciones aéreas, dos en Lucero, una en Jauja y Pamplona no tuvo aplicaciones. En el año 2018 los más abundantes fueron C. carnea, H. convergens y O. tristicolor, mientras que en el año 2019 C. carnea, O. tristicolor y H. convergens en orden descendente.

The built heritage located in the historic center of the city of Tampico, declared a heritage zone of historic and artistic monuments in 1990, was built between 1890 and 1930 from the Porfiriato period, considered the time of the oil boom. In that sense, the architectural and visual history of the city is compromised in its construction with a landscape built as a consequence of the social needs and consumption of merchandise; companies and industry, which were determinants of that historical moment and gave a representative cultural meaning. This study considers particularly those historical buildings that contain on their facade’s inscriptions, names, numbers or symbols, as a historiographic narrative of the visual and discursive meaning named identification inscriptions. The contribution of a formal study for the defragmented narrativity of the graphic historicity with its own inscribed characteristics of the culture of Tampico, which, due to the affectations caused by diverse factors, put at risk its permanence and veracity in a structural and formal way, becomes important. This is how the contextual historiographic narrative contributes to point out the inscriptional graphic value.
