Objective: Breast cancer is rare in men, accounting for less than 1% of all breast cancer diagnoses. Compared with females, it usually occurs at an older age, in a more advanced stage, and with positive estrogen receptors. The objective of this paper was to report five cases of breast cancer in men diagnosed at the San Borja Arriarán Clinical Hospital in Santiago de Chile between 2017 and 2022. The epidemiological, clinical, therapeutic, and evolutionary profiles were analyzed. The median age was 70 years, and the evolution time to diagnosis was 8 months. In four cases, the reason for consultation was self-palpation of a breast tumor and in one case due to axillary adenopathy. Four cases presented as cT1-T2 N0 and one case presented as T1N3M1 (cutaneous) (mean size 28 mm). The histology was infiltrating ductal carcinoma (three cases), one case of papillary cancer, and one of adenocarcinoma. The prognostic factors were positive estrogen and progesterone receptors in four cases (infiltrating and papillary ductal carcinoma) and triple-negative in one case (adenocarcinoma, metastatic debut). Treatment was surgery in four cases (total mastectomy with sentinel lymph node biopsy) and adjuvant radiotherapy and hormone therapy. The patient with metastatic debut was treated with palliative radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Follow-up of the five cases has been maintained. There are no deaths to date, but there was one case of visceral progression during hormone therapy.

Authors: Souto Andreza Karine de Barros Almeida , Resende Cristiano Augusto Andrade de , Ribeiro Rafael Brito Foureaux , Farias Andrea Arredondo , Barbosa Ana Carolina Silba
Published: January 2024

Background: Stage IV triple-negative breast cancer has a high mortality rate, and the treatment strategy will be based on the presence of biomarkers, disease burden, need for a response rate, and treatment tolerability. Among the various management modalities and effective treatments, capecitabine is a frequently used option due to its known benefits and relatively good tolerance. However, there are several commonly known adverse effects when using capecitabine, including non-immune hemolytic anemia, a very rare and unexpected side effect. Capecitabine is a form of fluoropyrimidine that is hypothesized to affect the structure of the red blood cell membrane, resulting in the destruction of these cells. Case report: A 71-year-old woman with stage IV triple-negative breast cancer with bone and skin metastases, negative PDL1, and germline mutations in BRCA1/2, with progression disease at first-line chemotherapy. Capecitabine was started at a dose of 2,000 mg/m2 /day, and after two cycles, she developed cytopenia, in addition to increased bilirubin and LDH, leading to the suspicion of hemolysis. She was evaluated by the hematological medical team with complementary tests such as reticulocytes, haptoglobin, and coombs D, the latter negative. Medullary infiltration was ruled out. Capecitabine has been suspended for 15 days, with normalization of tests. When it was reintroduced, there was a new alteration in laboratory tests. In the end, it was decided to permanently discontinue the drug, despite the clinical and radiological response. Final Comments: We present a very complex and challenging clinical case of a patient with metastatic breast cancer undergoing palliative treatment. Although the patient’s disease was controlled with the use of capecitabine, cytopenia developed with suspected medication-induced non-immune hemolytic anemia. This shows the usual complexity of treating patients with drugs that have both acute and chronic side effects.

Introduction: Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease, divided into many subtypes, the most common being invasive ductal. Breast tumors can be derived from epithelial tissue or mesenchymal cells. Most malignant breast tumors are made up of a single type of tumor. Cases where there are two or more types of malignant tumors occurring at the same time are rare. We report a case with different types of malignancies, i.e., non-special invasive ductal carcinoma, metaplastic carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma occurred together. Case report: A woman, 56 years old, with no family history of gynecological neoplasia, sought care referring to a painful and erythematous nodule in her left breast for about 25 days. On physical examination, a 15×11 cm, slightly mobile nodule with irregular borders was noticed in the left breast and palpable axillary lymph nodes. The mammogram showed an isodense nodule with internal calcifications, measuring 10.2×9.4×7.2 cm, in the superolateral quadrant (QSL) of the left breast (ME) — BI-RADS V. The central biopsy showed nonspecial invasive breast carcinoma (NOS), triple-negative, and KI67 30%. She underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and 5 months after the start, she showed evidence of tumor progression. The tumor was ulcerated and occupying the entire QSL of ME and on palpation of the armpit, multiple hardened lymph nodes on the left. Left radical mastectomy with axillary lymphadenectomy was performed. The anatomopathological examination of the specific specimen revealed different tumor types: ulcerated and moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma, invasive metaplastic breast carcinoma, with a negative immunohistochemical profile for RP, ER, and HER2, positive cytokeratin 7, and 70% Ki67. Two months after the mastectomy, she had tumor recurrence and underwent a new surgical approach. Plastron histopathology showed squamous cell carcinoma infiltrating skin, negative estrogen and progesterone receptors, and positive p63. She underwent radiotherapy and is currently being followed up, with no signs of recurrence.

Inequality in the distribution of resources and health care in the poverty quintiles: Evidence from Peruvian comprehensive health insurance 2018-2019
Authors: Huarachi Luis A , Lozano-Zanelly Glenn , Acosta Julio , Huarachi Carlos A , Moya-Salazar Jeel
Published: January 2024

Introduction: In many regions of the world, healthcare is inequitable and limited, affecting poor populations who need greater health opportunities. Given that Peru’s comprehensive health insurance (SIS) seeks to enhance its coverage for the entire population, it is important to know if its coverage benefits the poorest populations.

Objectives: To determine the allocation of SIS resources and care to the poorest quintile during 2018 and 2019 in Peru.

Methods: We conducted a secondary analysis of data from five Peruvian technical institutions. In 39,8207 Peruvian households, we analyzed the per capita budget assigned to the population affiliated with SIS in microregions of quintile 1 and quintile 2 (poor), and quintile 4 and quintile 5 (non-poor), health coverage, and the level of poverty considering the human development index (HDI) and the regional competitiveness index (RCI).

Results: The poorest regions are inversely correlated with HDI and RCI and have an average service of 25.0% affiliates. In poor areas, the allocated budget was lower (approximately $303,000 to $2.2 million), but the proportion of members requiring care was higher (>70.0%). The budget allocated to health was unfair (p<0.05) between poor areas (maximum resources from $96.28 to $108.14) and non-poor areas (maximum resources from $150.00 to $172.43). Low budget allocations and low household per capita income contributed to poverty in quintile 1 and quintile 2 (p<0.01).

Conclusions: the poorest regions have greater inequity and the majority of affiliates do not use or do not have access to SIS services, but they have a greater need for health care. In addition, poor regions have a high amount of population without SIS coverage, and low allocated budgets, which affects competitiveness and regional development.

Artemisia herba-alba (AHA), known as sheeh in Jordan, is recommended by regional traditional healers for the treatment of a variety of diseases. AHA has been used in folk medicine to treat colds, coughing, bronchitis, intestinal disturbances, diarrhea, neuralgias, arterial hypertension, and diabetes. The objectives of the current study were to identify the chemical compositions of the essential oil extracted from dried leaf powder of AHA cultivated in Jordan and investigate its antibacterial and antioxidant activities. The essential oil was isolated using hydro distillation, and the identification of artemisia herba-alba essential oil (AHEO) composition was performed using validated gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The antibacterial activity of AHEO was assessed against escherichia coli, pseudomonas aeruginosa, klebsiella pneumonia, and staphylococcus aureus and two clinical isolates (methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant staphylococcus epidermidis [MRSE]) using a disc diffusion method, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) values, using the micro-dilution broth method. Additionally, antioxidant activities were determined using DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging assays. The results revealed that the yield of AHEO was 4.41% v/w, with nearly 22 identified compounds, constituting approximately 96.80% of the total mass of essential oils. Monoterpenoids was the major compounds (71.90%), with alpha pinene being the major component, accounting for 17.20% of the composition. The total phenolic and flavonoid contents were 43.97 mg GAE/g and 30.11 mg CE/g, respectively. The antibacterial activity of AHEO against MRSE exhibited the highest inhibitory effect, while E.coli showed the highest MBC value. Furthermore, AHEO demonstrated significant antioxidant activity (IC50= 64.57 and 34.01 for DPPH and ABTS, respectively). The results indicate that AHEO possess good antioxidant and antibacterial properties, suggesting that they may be used as a supplementary food and antimicrobial agent.

Authors: Afra Ansaria
Published: January 2024

Cybersecurity is an organizational issue that should be looked at through the lens of various stakeholders. However, it is often treated as a siloed issue in which more is always seen as better. The CISOs, CIOs, and the key decision-makers struggle to understand how much security is enough. Cybersecurity solutions, referred to as controls, more often than not result in a residual risk. To assess this risk better, the security controls should be studied in further detail. The objective of this paper is to educate the audience with the various cyber security controls being used in the academia and in the industry. In order to circumvent the security issues faced by large organization, the tradeoffs of each controls should be studied further. The paper is meant to provide a balanced view providing the positive and the critical aspect of implementing some of the known security solutions. There is no one perfect formula when it comes to selecting security controls. However, picking a security control that are in line with the users’ needs will help reduce some of the risks associated with implementing the controls. An optimal solution requires a balanced approach towards the risk, cost, and benefit of the solution. The aim of the paper is to help the reader assess some of risks and the tradeoff associated with the security controls being practiced in the industry today.

Authors: Hidayati Al Fida , Siregar Yuanita Aprilandini
Published: January 2024

This research aims to describe the factors driving the development of a tourism village through local culture in Kepuhsari Village. Additionally, the study seeks to depict the process of local cultural commodification in the development of Wayang Villages, Kepuhsari. The research methodology employed is qualitative, utilizing direct observation and in-depth interviews as data collection techniques. The results indicate that the development of a tourism village through local culture in Kepuhsari is influenced by both internal and external factors. Internal factors involve the modern mindset of the community, the availability of cultural resources, economic factors, community efforts to preserve wayang (traditional puppetry), and the creativity of the local population. On the other hand, external factors include adapting to market trends and consumer preferences, as well as support and socialization regarding tourism villages from external entities. The commodification of local culture materializes through innovations in wayang, leading to various changes in its function, form, production processes, distribution, and consumption. These innovations serve as responses to market demands and external support, creating an environment conducive to the development of Wayang Villages as a tourism destination. This research provides a deeper understanding of the dynamics of local cultural commodification in the context of tourism village development, with a focus on the specific case of Wayang Villages in Kepuhsari. The implications of these findings can serve as a foundation for more targeted policy development, supporting the preservation of local culture while stimulating economic growth through the tourism sector.

Cases of bullying in Indonesia, particularly within the educational sphere, are attracting increasingly intensive attention due to their detrimental impacts. This research aims to explore social transformation in the educational context, specifically focusing on the role of teachers in establishing an environment free from bullying behaviors. The study employs a qualitative descriptive method with a case study design. Data collection utilizes observational techniques and in-depth interviews, subsequently undergoing analysis through processes of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. To ensure data validity, technical assessments are conducted through technical triangulation, source triangulation, and member checks. The primary findings of this research encompass several aspects. Firstly, physical forms of bullying involve behaviors such as shoulder grabbing, hitting, and foot stomping. Meanwhile, verbal bullying manifests through name-calling, forced borrowing, and the invocation of parental names. Secondly, the main causes of bullying behaviors stem from family factors, with the influence of media, including television broadcasts and mobile phones depicting violent scenes, also playing a contributing role. Thirdly, teachers' strategies in addressing bullying involve interventions between students, performing ablution, seeking explanations from both parties, and encouraging offenders to acknowledge their mistakes and apologize. The results of this study offer in-depth insights into the dynamics of bullying in the Indonesian educational environment, simultaneously serving as a foundation for the development of more effective and inclusive prevention strategies.

Published: January 2024

From 2012 to 2015, a team of scholars under the auspices of Groningen University excavated at Tell Abu Sarbut in the Eastern Jordan Valley. They uncovered Early Roman, Early Islamic and Middle Islamic remains. The Early Roman occupation was unexpected, as this period had not been documented in regional surveys or when the site was last excavated in 1988-1992. Evidence suggests the inhabitants of the estate or village had strong ties with Jewish communities west of the River Jordan. The three-meter-thick deposit of Early Islamic occupation showed the region’s interaction with the wider Islamic world. Middle Islamic remains had been extensively excavated in the earlier excavation as well.
