The role of probiotics in current algorithms for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome: A review
Authors: Andreev Dmitry N. , Maev Igor V.
Published: July 2023

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a widespread disease that affects working-age people and significantly reduces their quality of life. Many experts have suggested that the colon microflora in patients with IBS is characterized by dysbiosis, which leads to increased fermentation, excessive gas formation, and symptoms typical of the disease. Currently, alterations of the intestinal microbiota are considered one of the main mechanisms of IBS development, which warrants the use of probiotics with proven effectiveness as a part of the complex therapy. Certain probiotic strains (including Bifidobacterium longum 35624 and Saccharomyces boulardii CNCM I-745) have been shown to be effective in normalizing stool frequency and consistency in IBS patients, regressing abdominal pain, and normalizing quality of life.

Authors: Lychkova Alla E. , Samsonov Aleksey A. , Andreev Dmitry N. , Kuznetsova Elena I.
Published: July 2023

Aim. To identify the role of impaired motor function of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) in the overlap of functional disorders (FD).
Materials and methods. Thirty-two abdominal FD patients were followed up, with a predominance of women aged 33.76.1 years (75%). Men aged 31.85.6 years were 25%. All patients had symptoms of GIT FD established according to the Rome IV criteria, endoscopy, and abdominal ultrasound. In addition, patients underwent 2-hour pH-metry and electromyography of the abdominal organs using bipolar silver electrodes with a surface area of 0.50.6 cm2. The amplitude-frequency characteristics of slow waves and spikes and the power of phase and tonic contractions were analyzed using the Canon M hardware and software complex with a transmission frequency of 0.1 to 10 Hz and a noise level of 15 W.
Results. Overlapping clinical symptoms of motor disorders in gastrointestinal tract functional disorders are observed at a young age, mainly in women. The abnormal ratio of the gallbladder and common bile duct motility in overlapping GIT FD was 1:1.08, with a pronounced increase in contractions of the common bile duct, which could lead to an increase in pressure in the biliary system, pain, and insufficient flow of bile to the duodenum, disrupting the digestion and worsening the dyspepsia.
Conclusion. The study showed a tendency for higher incidence of functional disorders in young women. Patients with overlapping disorders also have more severe pain than those with isolated disorders.
Peculiarities of antibiotic therapy after pancreaticoduodenectomy
Authors: Gasieva Olga Yu. , Khatkov Igor E. , Vertkin Arkadiy L.
Published: July 2023

Aim. To reveal and evaluate predictors of infectious complications in the postoperative period after pancreatoduodenectomy.
Materials and methods. An analysis was made of 790 articles that dealt with the subject of complications after pancreatoduodenectomy.
Results. Seventy five articles met the inclusion criteria. Studies with small samples (less than 20 patients) were not considered. Based on the multifactorial nature of the problem of preventing infectious complications in the postoperative period, the results of the review are divided into several sections. PBD is highly effective in obstructive jaundice syndrome at the preoperative stage, but is associated with the risk of bile infection and complications in the postoperative period. These circumstances should be taken into account when determining the indications for PBD, choosing the method of decompression, in cases where stenting is used, attention should also be paid to the choice of material. Bacteriobilia is an independent predictor of surgical site infections (SSI) after PDR.
Conclusion. Changing the approach to antibiotic prophylaxis based on the antibiotic sensitivity of the microflora can lead to a decrease in the incidence of SSI, a reduction in the duration of hospitalization, the number of complications associated with long-term antibiotic therapy, a decrease in the rate of spread of antibiotic resistance and a decrease in the financial costs of the institution for a completed case of medical care.

Authors: Ledeneva Ekaterina M. , Vertkin Arkadiy L. , Sediakina Iuliia V. , Kurdjieva Svetlana S. , Shamuilova Marina M.
Published: July 2023

Over the last 10 years, the incidence of chronic pancreatitis (CP) has increased 4 times and nowadays is about 27.450 cases per 100 000 adults. In the outpatient gastroenterologist practice, patients with CP account for about 3545%, in the hospital gastroenterology department up to 2045%. CP criteria according to imaging methods fibrosis, duct dilatation and deformation, calcifications in the pancreatic parenchyma or its atrophy are formed at a late stage of the disease. Simultaneously, diagnosis at the early stage with potentially reversible changes remains difficult, due to the lack of clear instrumental and laboratory findings confirming minimal changes in the pancreas. However, some methods in combination with a detailed history taking, risk factors identification in comparison with the clinical features are of interest for the early diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis.

Published: July 2023

Perforated duodenal ulcer is a common pathology with fairly high postoperative mortality, especially in late diagnosis. In some cases, timely diagnosis of a perforative ulcer may be difficult and the results of the survey may be contradictory. The classical triad of clinical signs of perforative ulcers is not always observed in patients, sometimes the clinical picture is so unclear that the final diagnosis can only be made intraoperative. The article presents an analysis of the clinical case of difficult diagnosis and treatment of perforative duodenal ulcer in a patient in an acute period of ischemic stroke. In addition, the patient had severe concomitant somatic pathology with a high risk of systemic thromboembolism and at the same time a high risk of bleeding.
Opinions of gastroenterologists about intestinal microbiota modulating agents: results of the survey in focus groups
Authors: Golovenko Oleg V. , Golovenko Alexey O.
Published: July 2023

Aim. To study the opinions of gastroenterologists about drugs affecting the intestinal microflora.
Materials and methods. A qualitative survey was conducted in focus groups to study the patterns of prescribing drugs that regulate intestinal microflora in chronic gastrointestinal diseases. The survey included only outpatient gastroenterologists who managed patients with irritable bowel syndrome, an uncomplicated diverticular disease with clinical manifestations and excessive bacterial growth in the small intestine for at least 3 years.
Results. Physicians perceive the non-absorbable antibiotic rifaximin alpha as the drug of choice for treating these diseases; they are aware of its low bioavailability and suitability for repeated use. However, with severe clinical symptoms, some doctors tend to use systemic antibiotics before infectious or inflammatory complications are confirmed. It is due to the erroneous perception of systemic antibiotics as obviously more effective drugs than non-absorbable antibiotics. When choosing a drug, it is essential to consider the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhea, adverse changes in the microflora, and the patient's comorbidities.
Conclusion. Surveyed gastroenterologists consider rifaximin alfa (Alfa Normix) the most suitable drug that helps in routine practice achieve the desired result with a minimum risk of adverse events. Many study participants are skeptical about the effect of probiotics due to the lack of evidence but emphasize their safety and the request for probiotics from patients. Not all doctors are aware of metabiotics. Prebiotics and dietary fibers are perceived as agents that affect both the intestinal microflora and the stool frequency. Some healthcare professionals are concerned about prebiotics and probiotics registered as dietary supplements, which can cause patient misunderstandings. Identified opinions about such agents can be used in training gastroenterologists and developing clinical guidelines.
The Association of Joint Power Kinetic Variables with Running Injuries: A Case-Control Study
Authors: Dewald Matt , Dalland Jennifer , Stockland Josie
Published: August 2023

Background

There is conflicting data on which kinetic variables are important to consider with running injuries. Furthermore, less is understood regarding differences in these variables when considering demographics such as age, sex, weight, and running speed. The primary question was what joint power kinetic variables were different between non-injured and injured runners.

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to identify if there were differences in joint power kinetic variables between non-injured runners and injured runners.

Study Design

Case-Control Study

Methods

Kinetic data were collected on 122 runners (26 non-injured and 96 injured) over three years with a Bertec force plated treadmill and Qualisys 3D motion capture. The subjects were considered eligible if they self-identified themselves as runners or had running as a key component of their activity. The subjects ran at a comfortable, self-selected pace while two 10-second trials of recordings were used to calculate the means of peak power generated at the hips, knees, and ankles of each gait cycle. Foot strike was categorized by kinematic data. Two sample T-tests were used to compare peak power variables at the hips, knees, and ankles between non-injured and injured runners. Logistic regression analyses examined how a combination of demographics and peak power variables were associated with injuries.

Results

No peak power variable at the hip, knee, or ankle was significantly different between injured and non-injured runners (p=0.07-0.87). However, higher hip power absorbed was found to be protective against injuries (odds ratio, .16; 95% CI .025-.88) when considering demographics using a logistic regression model including sex, foot strike, BMI, speed, age, and power variables from the hip, knee, and ankle. The area under the ROC curve was .74, which is acceptable discrimination.

Conclusion

When controlling for age, sex, BMI, foot strike, and speed; higher hip power absorbed was found to be protective against injury. This could be due to the hip muscles’ unique role in absorbing force during early stance phase.

A Novel Intrinsic Foot Muscle Strength Dynamometer Demonstrates Moderate-To-Excellent Reliability and Validity
Authors: Xu Jennifer , Goss Dante D , Saliba Susan A
Published: August 2023

Background

Intrinsic foot muscle (IFM) weakness can result in reduced foot function, making it crucial for clinicians to track IFM strength changes accurately. However, assessing IFM strength can be challenging for clinicians, as there is no clinically applicable direct measure of IFM strength that has been shown to be reliable and valid with the foot on the ground.

Purpose

The purpose was to investigate the intra-rater and inter-rater reliability of a novel, budget-friendly IFM dynamometer and determine its agreement with a handheld dynamometer (HHD). The researchers also examined correlations of foot morphology and activity level to IFM strength.

Study design

Descriptive Laboratory Study

Methods

Two assessors measured IFM strength of 34 healthy volunteers (4 male, 30 female; age=21.14±2.57, height=164.66 ±7.62 cm, mass=64.45±11.93 kg) on two occasions 6.62±0.78 days apart with the novel dynamometer to assess intra- and inter-rater reliability. The HHD was used to measure IFM in the first session in order to assess validity.

Results

For the novel dynamometer, intra- and inter-rater reliability was moderate-to-excellent (ICC = 0.73 – 0.95), and the majority of the strength tests were within the 95% limits of agreement with the HHD. Wider foot morphology and a higher number of days walking over the prior seven days had small but significant correlations with IFM strength (dominant foot r = 0.34, non-dominant foot r = 0.39; r = -0.33, -0.39 respectively).

Conclusion

This novel IFM dynamometer is a budget-friendly ($75) tool that was shown to be reliable and valid in a healthy population.

Published: July 2023

This article aims to systematize the distinctive features of the modern fiscal policy of the Russian Federation, taking into account digitalization. The hypothesis of the study is as follows: the high dynamics of the penetration of information and communication technologies in social and economic processes, the lack of the need to modernize certain systems and the availability of the ability to build them anew in combination with the assignment of digitalization as a priority of state policy have allowed to make significant progress in improving the efficiency of fiscal policy. At the same time, the peculiarities of the state of the public administration system determine the digitalization emphasis on the fiscal component of fiscal policy and do not fully realize the potential of the controlling component in relation to public spending. The methodology of the study is based on general scientific methods of theoretical and methodological analysis of sources, abstract-logical approach, analysis and synthesis, formal-legal and method of content analysis. As a result of the study, the proposed hypothesis is proved and it is shown that the digitalization of taxes has great potential in the sphere of digital taxation of the tax system in modern Russia, allowing to comprehensively solve the problems of functioning and development of this system and overcoming its current crisis. It is shown that the digitalization of taxes is a priority area of digital taxation of the tax system in modern Russia. The author assesses the most significant problems facing the further digitalization of the country's tax and fiscal policy. These problems include: complication of tax evasion schemes (including — with the use of cryptocurrencies), technological dependence on imported software and hardware complexes, the risk of achieving excessive administrative burden on businesses and the self-employed.

Published: July 2023

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) recognizes the positive role of migrants in sustainable economic development and precisely include migration in three targets, and it’s linked indirectly to many more [1], [2]. Many experts of economic development also agree that remittances are perhaps the most highly visible and tangible benefit of emigration to the origin countries, especially for developing countries like Eritrea [3]. There is an emerging consensus in the literature that migration and remittance are part and parcel of an overall livelihood strategy through which households try to cope with shocks [4]. In the case of Eritrea, although the political and humanitarian aspect of emigration is highly investigated, its economic impact is hardly researched. This article tries to investigate the economic impact of emigration by giving more emphasis on the positive role of economic remittance. Thus this article aimed at providing an overview of general migration trends of Eritrea which primarily focus on remittances and their role on the home country. Using data triangulation analysis, diverse sources such as literature review, interviews of individual and family migrants in Sudan, as well as discussions with Eritrean students of higher institution and informants from host countries of Eritrean diaspora, this paper presents relevant findings that can help to realize the positive role of remittance to the Eritrean economy and adds to the literature which so far is very negligible. For Eritrea a low income country remittance constitute an important part of the economy. Economic remittance supplement the domestic incomes of millions of poor families mostly used for consumption rather than investment and are vital source of foreign exchange for Eritrea. Remittance to Eritrea is mostly sent to families and relatives through various means and the informal channel is the most predominant. This study finds that although the views towards the role of remittance is mixed for the long run, given the current economic and political situation, remittance is considered the life blood of the economy. Although migration has undeniable negative economic impact, this paper is limited only on the positive economic impact of migration.

Published: July 2023

Migration is a complex issue that has attracted worldwide attention in recent years. Migration is increasing due to many factors such as globalization, economic differences between countries, political instability, social conflicts, environmental problems and wars. This study was aimed at studying the factors influencing the migration of Mongols to South Korea. The survey was conducted among Mongolian citizens applying for a visa at the Consulate of South Korea, the sample consisted of 316 questionnaires. Quantitative data were processed by SPSS 23.0 and Smart PLS 3.0 programs to check the validity of metrological variables, descriptive data were calculated for each statistical variable, and correlation analysis was carried out. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to obtain the results. According to the results of the study, economic factors are the main factors influencing the migration of Mongolian citizens to South Korea. In other words, the outflow of citizens increases due to such economic factors as low stable income, the economic crisis, poverty, rising unemployment, the quality of medical care, and low living standards. The study also showed that socio-cultural, political and demographic factors have a significant impact on migration to South Korea, while environmental factors have little effect.

Principals’ Leadership Orientation and Students’ Academic Performance in Secondary Schools of Gedeo Zone, Ethiopia
Authors: Botha RJ Nico , Aleme Seyoum Gari
Published: July 2023

As accountability in educational leadership has increased, interest in finding the most rewarding type of principal leadership orientation that helps to improve student performance is enhanced. The lack of agreement on the most rewarding type of leadership orientation among task-focused, relationship-focused or/and change-focused behaviours, as well as the incidence of poor performance by students has resulted in the Gedeo Zone of Ethiopia commissioning us to conduct this study. The objective of the study was to identify the most profitable type of principal leadership orientation that enhances the success of students in the secondary schools of the zone. Three ineffective (least achievers) and three effective (best achiever) schools of the zone were chosen purposively, as sample for the study by using the maximum variation strategy. The total of the sample was 339, of which 321 (n=321) participated in the quantitative part of the study, while 18 were involved in the qualitative part. A questionnaire, semi-structured interviews and document analysis were used as instruments to collect the data. The quantitative data were analysed by using means, standard deviations, correlations, regressions, and line graphs, while the qualitative data were analysed via a content-analytical approach. The findings of this study revealed that high task and change-oriented behaviours among school leadership enhanced the students’ success, while high relationship-oriented behaviours intended to get a mere affiliation affected the learners’ success negatively. High task-oriented behaviours enable principals to initiate work, directing members towards goals, and monitoring members’ performance. The active engagement of principals in teaching and learning activities enhances students’ academic ‘achievements more than mere passive involvement to deal with the challenges they may encounter. Thus, principals are advised to exhibit high task and high change-oriented behaviours, as their engagement affects other stakeholders to play their role in improving students’ learning.

Authors: Ma Lei , Ismail Lilliati , Saharuddin Norzihani
Published: July 2023

Of the four basic skills, namely, reading, is a fundamental tool that supports the development of other skills. In Chinese tertiary education, reading is a compulsory core subject for students. Although the benefits of teaching English reading through literature circles have been recognized in other countries for decades, there is still an insufficient practice of this activity among English-major students in the Chinese university context. This study aims to investigate the attitudes of Chinese English-major students toward literature circles as a method of teaching reading, and to determine the benefits of reading literature in language learning. The study employs a one-shot case study involving only one group exposed to the treatment, followed by a measure. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected to determine the participants' attitudes toward literature circles and their perception of the benefits of reading literature. An intact class of 41 students participated in this extracurricular reading activity through the convenience sampling method. The result obtained from the eight closed-ended questions indicated that the participants generally held favorable views toward literature circles. The results from the focus group interviews confirmed the benefits of reading literature in terms of cultural, linguistic, and personal enrichment. The findings suggest that more longitudinal studies involving comparison groups or qualitative studies are necessary to better understand the benefits of literature circles.

Published: July 2023

Every institution has support services available for students, especially first-year students, that would help deal with issues they might need assistance with during their early years. Student support services offered at universities to assist students’ academic, social, or psycho-emotional needs help to enhance their overall welfare and academic achievement. This study investigated university student-teachers experiences and their implications for refined student support. A case study qualitative research design was employed for this study with 12 student-teachers (five male and seven female) as the sample. A focus group interview method was employed to generate responses, and the information was evaluated with thematic content analysis. This study reported that first-year students encountered various challenges classified into academic (inconsistency in keeping the timetable of lectures and lecturers, misplacement, and missing academic results), social (inadequacies in the transportation system and accommodation issues), and psycho-emotional (low self-esteem, external academic pressure, and suicidal ideation). It was also revealed that the respondents benefitted from extra classes by lecturers, tutorials from student associations and peers, assistance from the student affairs unit and students’ associations, and aid from the counselling unit, staff advisers, and clerics support services in the institution. Also, there is a need for improvements in the various support services available in the institution. Therefore, it was recommended that institutions only offer admission to students applying for education-related courses.
