Background: allergic rhinitis (AR) is the leading pathology in pediatric practice. Improvement of the diagnostic accuracy and preventive measures in AR is the priority task. Aim: to evaluate the efficacy of the proposed cascade algorithm of diagnosis and preventive medicated therapy for children at high risk of AR. Patients and Methods: a retrospective epidemiological analysis was conducted in five regions of the Central Federal District for 2017–2021, where the main risk factors of AR were identified. The article proposes a screening cascade and a three-step diagnostic algorithm of AR, as well as high-risk group identification with the indication of preventive medicated therapy. The efficacy of the proposed technique was evaluated in the catamnestic study. Results: during the follow-up, there was a steady increase of AR in all regions — from 1,472 to 2,684%. 28 risk factors were identified, of which 12 were controlled factors. According to the highest risk factor probability, 4 age groups were identified: from birth to 5 years, 6–7 years, 8–12 years and children 13 years and older. In the group receiving preventive therapy, AR was verified in the catamnesis 2 times less common — in 12 instead of 24%. Thus, the patients at high risk of AR require preventive medicated therapy and constant follow-up at certain age periods. Conclusion: this article presents the evaluation of the proposed diagnostic cascade efficacy, the identification of the group at high risk of AR and the justification concerning the use of preventive medicated therapy of AR in this group during acute respiratory infection. KEYWORDS: allergic rhinitis, preventive therapy, polymorphism, heart rate variability, microcirculation.

The incidence of influenza and acute respiratory infections (ARI) continues to grow, including due to limited opportunities for immunoprophylaxis of the most common respiratory infections, in particular, acute respiratory viral infections (ARVI). Attempts are being made to reduce the children susceptibility to respiratory pathogens through the rational use of nonspecific immunoprophylactic agents, among which bacterial lysates (BL) occupy a special place. BL key patterns, contributing to the prevention of viral infections, are innate immune response activation, excessive inflammatory response prevention, adaptive immune response stimulation. BL contain fragments of inactivated various pathogenic bacteria strains that are important in the ARI etiology. Obtaining lysates of bacterial strains is possible by mechanical or chemical lysis. The article discusses the results of preclinical and clinical studies on BL, as well as suggests the expediency of further study concerning the BL pharmacodynamic effects within the modern concept of trained immunity. The authors conclude that BL as a trained immunity inducer according to the rationally selected regimen can contribute to the respiratory infections' prevention both during COVID-19 pandemic and post-pandemic period.

This article summarizes modern scientific data on the efficacy and safety of prescribing physical activity (PA) to children and adolescents with congenital heart defects (CHD), as well as practical recommendations for actual amount of PA in this category of patients, depending on their initial functional status. The preferences and benefits of PA with controlled amount, rather than its limitation in patients with CHD, have been demonstrated. An individual exercise regime can safely be indicated to each patient with CHD according to the team approach and thorough assessment. However, there remains a large gap in the literature regarding recommendations for PA in children with CHD, despite the fact that this research area is one of the priorities worldwide, since PA is a powerful tool in optimizing the health of children with CHD. There are only a limited number of publications with a small sample size, which indicates the need for further research to assess the PA contribution to the recovery of children with CHD, especially with combined defects.

Aim: to present data on kidney tumor clinical patterns and leading symptom sets at the examination stage in the tertiary care (specialized department in a hospital setting) based on modern diagnostic methods for the detection of kidney tumors. Patients and Methods: this paper presents the results of a pilot study concerning the patterns of renal tumors (including nephroblastoma) in children and adolescents living in the Krasnoyarsk Territory. The data obtained are necessary for solving scientific and practical tasks to improve the provision of medical care in this pathology. The case histories of 57 children and adolescents with renal tumors who were hospitalized for examination and treatment in the Department of Oncology and Hematology (Krasnoyarsk Regional Clinical Center for Maternal and Child Welfare) from 2011 to 2021 were analyzed. All patients lived on the territory of the Krasnoyarsk Territory. Results and Discussion: the study, conducted for the first time in the Krasnoyarsk Territory, presented the main symptom set of renal tumors in children, including clinical manifestations, as well as data of laboratory and instrumental research methods at the stage of primary tumor diagnosis. The most common specific clinical manifestation of the renal tumor was palpable volumetric mass of the abdominal cavity and abdominal volume increase, which was consistent with the literature data. Abdominal pain and anemia were most common among the non- specific symptoms. Ultrasound showed high efficiency for the primary tumor diagnosis, while computer and contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging proved to be indispensable for the clinical tumor assessment (its spread and metastasis) for more rational treatment tactics.Conclusions: information about clinical manifestations (given the specific and non-specific symptoms), concomitant pathology, data from instrumental and laboratory research methods at the stage of primary tumor diagnosis in children living in Eastern Siberia were presented for the first time.

Aim: to study the effect of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) supplement on the balance of fatty acids in female pregravidar preparation. Patients and Methods: the study included 42 female patients of the reproductive age who were planning pregnancy in the nearest future. The main group consisted of 24 female patients who took a drug containing omega-3 PUFA 585 mg for the pregravidar preparation. The control group included 18 female patients who took drugs containing folic acid 400 μg in a daily dose, iodine 200 μg, vitamin D 2000 U. The follow-up period of female patients and results control of the laboratory parameters during the treatment was 3 months. Then, the follow-up was based on the results of the reproductive performance implementation in a year. Results: during the therapy, omega-3 PUFA intake leaded to a slight increase of the fatty acids (FA) content, i.e., to the normalization of this indicator, which didn't not require constant control of the FA level and did not limit the time of use. Besides, when omega-3 PUFA was prescribed, the frequency of inevitable miscarriage might decrease (OR 2.6, 95% CI 1.2–14.7), however, this statement requires further study and confirmation in a larger number of female patients. Conclusion: the additional prescription of omega-3 PUFA for the pregravidar preparation has a positive effect. At the same time, routine determination of the fatty acids level and its control during the intake is not required before the prescription. The intake of omega-3 PUFA during pregnancy and in the early neonatal period is important for the subsequent normal functioning of the child's body.

Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is an integral term for a group of conditions in which the fetus does not reach the size potentially embedded in its genome. FGR is the main cause of perinatal mortality. Commonly, FGR develops due to placental insufficiency. At the same time, there are very few levers of control on this pathology by obstetricians and gynecologists. The authors present preclinical and clinical study review concerning drugs for the FGR prevention and its therapy, as well as the role of nitric oxide (NO). Currently, it is possible to determine the risk group based on the history and data from the first trimester screening, as well as to use acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) for the preventive measures. During the study, there are several drugs that can potentially not only prevent FGR but also improve the condition course with, when the diagnose is already established. Conducting randomized clinical trials, where the primary endpoint would be the FGR, will allow to assess the safety and efficacy of the proposed medicines and advance them into clinical practice.

Aim: to evaluate the efficacy of an antiseptic disinfectant containing benzyl-dimethyl-[3-(tetradecanoylamino)propyl] ammonium chloride as an active ingredient in the form of vaginal suppositories as a preoperative management for scheduled surgery in women with vaginal microbiocenosis disorder. Patients and Methods: a prospective open-label study of the prevention of postoperative complications in 58 women admitted to a gynecological short-stay unit was conducted. The initial examination included history taking, comprehensive clinical and laboratory examinations, bacterioscopy of cervical and vaginal discharge with Gram stain, and vaginal discharge pH measurement. Surgery (diagnostic dilation and curettage along with hysteroscopy for endometrial hyperplasia) was scheduled in all women. 8.0±1.0 days before surgery, preoperative treatment to prevent infectious complications was performed using benzyl-dimethyl-[3-(tetradecanoylamino)propyl] ammonium chloride monohydrate in the form of 15-mg vaginal suppositories (1 suppository), once daily for 7 days. 30 days after surgery, re-examination of vaginal microflora and microbiocenosis was performed in all women. Results: an increase in WBC count, mixed microflora, and Candida spores were detected at the first visit. Before preventive treatment, vaginal microbiocenosis was characterized by a decrease in the number of obligate microbes in the vaginal biotope. No infectious postoperative complications were reported, and the early and late postoperative period was uneventful. In 56 women (96.5%), normocenosis was revealed (19 women were previously diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis, 25 with candidiasis, and 12 with nonspecific vaginitis). Two women (3.5%) had intermediate-type vaginal microbiocenosis. In 54 women (93.1%), the preparation was well-tolerated, while 4 women (6.9%) complained of short-term burning. Conclusions: the preparation can be recommended as a preventive antiseptic agent before scheduled minor gynecological surgeries in women with vaginal microbiocenosis disorder.

International Clinicians and Academics Supporting the Refugee Journey- personal narratives from the field.
Authors: Kelly Clive
Published: October 2023

Life isn’t always easy, but some have it much harder than others. I’ve spent most of my life looking after people with disability and disease. And within the last decade, I’ve also become involved in caring for refugees as a medical volunteer. Western society is generally sympathetic to those with illness, and at least until recently, those of us responsible for their care have received recognition and usually appreciation. However, our society is much more divided when it comes to refugees. Opinions vary widely and there has been significant resistance to accepting refugees into the UK and some other western countries. Supporting them, even in their own countries, can generate adverse comments or criticism, sometimes from unexpected quarters. This article is a reflection on my role, both as a doctor and a humanitarian, in supporting refugees. I cover concepts and discuss how these might relate to the provision and development of medical services in parallel. A short commentary on the challenges of supporting them in other countries is included. I describe my experience and achievements, along with the challenges we have faced. I invite comments and constructive criticism, as I believe it is important to share and exchange experience and perspective without rancour.

In particular, the effectiveness of SVM is analyzed in determining factors affecting the profitability/unprofitability of organizations in the Nizhny Novgorod region engaged in agricultural production. The considered factors included the size of the organization and the amount of available economic resources. Using a recursive extraction procedure, five most decisive factors that affected the profit obtained in 2007–2017 were selected for each of the 12 types of agricultural products considered. For each subsample, models were built using SVM (with different cores and parameters), the most optimal among which was selected and its accuracy was evaluated. As a result, the considered factors were ranked according to their impact on the profitability/unprofitability of an organization, depending on the types of products produced.

Published: October 2023

La Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) destaca que la maloclusión ocupa la tercera posición en las prioridades de los problemas odontológicos de Salud Pública Global, debido a su amplia prevalencia, lo que la califica como una cuestión relevante en salud pública. La mordida cruzada anterior se caracteriza por la colocación inadecuada de los dientes anteriores superiores, que se superponen por dentro con respecto a los dientes inferiores. Esta discrepancia oclusal específica requiere una intervención oportuna para evitar el agravamiento, potencialmente hasta una etapa esquelética, en la edad adulta, donde la corrección a menudo requeriría procedimientos quirúrgicos ortognáticos. En este contexto, el propósito de este estudio fue realizar una revisión exhaustiva de la literatura para ilustrar la relevancia del tratamiento temprano de la mordida cruzada anterior, utilizando una adaptación del aparato ortopédico Bionator de Balters. Este método fue empleado con el fin de abordar la maloclusión de Clase III en la fase de dentición mixta. El análisis tuvo como objetivo determinar la eficacia de este enfoque cuando se implementa de manera temprana, con el fin de tratar de manera satisfactoria esta irregularidad oclusal.

Este trabajo identifica varios enclaves discursivos que naturalizan la violencia de género. Se analizó un corpus sobre un femicidio emblemático vinculado a la élite política argentina en los años noventa. Se seleccionaron cuatro crónicas –dos contemporáneas al crimen y dos a 20 años del asesinato a María Soledad Morales– de tres periódicos. Los resultados indican que, si bien con el tiempo se modificaron los tipos de nominalizaciones, existe una matriz enunciativa que perdura. Esto permitió reconocer el funcionamiento de mecanismos discursivos de formación ideológica y las relaciones de continuidad/discontinuidad sociohistórica.

Mergers, acquisitions, and other corporate restructuring activities are regarded as one of the strategic steps to maintain the company's existence and to carry out business growth, which can be done when the company is in financial difficulties or when the company intends to develop its business and increase its revenue. However, there have often been problems in the past related to employment relations and other legal issues on employment law. This study aims to determine the legal impact of merger, acquisitions, and other corporate restructuring activities on employment relations based on employment regulation in Indonesia after enactment of Law concerning Job Creation. This study uses the normative juridical method with descriptive analysis characteristics. The results of the study show that in the event of a corporate restructuring activities, the employment relationship may continue as long as there is no termination of employment, whether it arises at the initiative of the employer or the employee. The law provides preventive as well as repressive protection for employees in the event of corporate restructuring activities.

Published: October 2023

Objective: To determine the predictive ability of mandibular third molar in estimation of chronological age

Material and methods:  This is cross sectional descriptive study was conducted at Saidu college of Dentistry, Swat on 120 participants. The inclusion criteria were both males and females, age from 13 to 25 years, having good quality panoramic X-ray clearly showing lower third molar area. Participants with dental anomalies like oligodontia, Dentinogenesis/Amelogenesis imperfecta, fracture affecting angular region of mandible were excluded. Age, sex and tooth mineralization of lower third molar were recorded.  Linear regression was applied using age as dependent and maturation stages of third molar as independent variable.

Results: The mean age was 16.85±2.39 years. The females were 78 (65%) and males were 42 (35%). Overall the model shows that in 79.9% participant the variation in age can be explained by maturation stages of third molar and gender. The regression equation for age estimation is age= 11.42+1.68x(maturation stage) + 0.13x(gender).

Conclusion: Mandibular third tooth maturation stages are useful in prediction of chronological age of the patients.

Background: This study compared the efficacy of prophylactic antibiotics with seven days of conventional antibiotics. Objective: This present study was carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of three doses of prophylaxis with ceftriaxone and metronidazole. Methodology: This parallel arm, randomized control trial was conducted among fifty patients, consisting of 25 cases and 25 controls, with acute appendicitis admitted at Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Popular Medical College Hospital, Dhaka, and Ad-din Barrister Rafique Ul-Haq Hospital, Dhaka, during the period of November 2021 to April 2022. This study was done to evaluate the efficacy of three doses of combined prophylactic antibiotics, ceftriaxone and metronidazole, in acute non-perforated appendicitis cases. The patients in the control group were treated with seven days of conventional antibiotic therapy to compare the efficacy with three doses of prophylactic antibiotics.
Results: Among 9 wound infections (15%), 4 patients were in the control group (36.5%), and 5 (40.5%) were in the case group in the study group with combined surgical prophylaxis of ceftriaxone and metronidazole (P=0.001). One patient develops both a wound infection and an intra-abdominal abscess. The study also found that amount to patient (3.3%) with intra-abdominal abscess formation 01 (50%) in control group and 01(50.0%) in combined prophylaxis group (ceftriaxone and metronidazole) (P>0.3).
Conclusion: In conclusion no significant difference could be found between the patients who received combined three doses of ceftriaxone and metronidazole and the control groups with regard to age, sex, distribution of symptoms before admission, preoperative temperature, duration of surgery, hospital stay, and concomitant diseases both overall and within each of the three groups of appendiceal examination.

Spectrophotometric reagents 3-(2-pyridyl)-5,6-diphenyl-1,2,4-triazine (PDT) and 3-(2-pyridyl)-5,6-bis(p-methoxyphenyl)- 1,2,4-triazine (PBMPT) were prepared from commercially available reactants simply by condensing pyridyl-2-hydrazidine with 1,2-dicarbonyl compounds. These organic reagents were used further to determine the trace amount of iron in various natural and food samples by spectrophotometric method. The absorptiometric features of iron (II) complexes of PDT and PBMPT were determined. The molar absorptivites of iron (II) complexes of PDT and PBMPT were found to be 24,181 L mol-1 cm-1 (at 556.0 nm) and 32,091 L mol-1 cm-1 at (561.8 nm) respectively. The reliability of these absorptivities were verified by standard addition technique and also by comparing the results of atomic absorption spectroscopy method. The complexes of both the reagents obey Beer’s law within the experimental concentration range 0.032mg/L - 0.159 mg/L.

Published: October 2023

The simulations of Severe Cyclonic Storm (SCS) Mora (28-31 May 2017) generated over the Bay of Bengal (BoB) are performed in this study to analyze its features, landfall, and track using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. WRF-ARW model has been used on a 10 km Horizontal Resolution (HR) domain for 96, 72, 48, and 24-hour lead time simulations. The model's performance is assessed by examining Mean Sea Level Pressure (MSLP), vertical distribution of velocity components, wind flow pattern, relative vorticity, vertical wind shear, relative humidity, latent heat flux at the surface, and track pattern. The simulated results are compared carefully to the observations from the Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD) and the India Meteorological Department (IMD). The findings are reasonably consistent with the observations. The simulated track is also reasonable even up to 72 hours in advance. Finally, the study's results suggest that the WRF model can be used as an effective tool in predicting TCs over the BoB.

Chương trình mục tiêu quốc gia xây dựng nông thôn mới ở Việt Nam: lăng kính hành vi về sự tham gia của người dân
Authors: Diệp Thanh Tùng
Published: October 2023

Nghiên cứu này được thực hiện nhằm phân tích hành vi tham gia của người dân trong chương trình mục tiêu quốc gia xây dựng nông thôn mới ở Việt Nam. Dữ liệu được thu thập ở 7 tỉnh, đại diện cho các vùng kinh tế của cả nước. Phương pháp đo lường chỉ số tham gia được điều chỉnh từ lý thuyết thang đo tham gia. Sau đó, phương pháp cấu trúc tuyến tính được sử dụng để đo lường ảnh hưởng của các yếu tố hành vi và nhận thức của người dân đến sự hài lòng và mức độ tham gia của người dân. Kết quả nghiên cứu chỉ ra rằng, các yếu tố đẩy xuất phát từ việc cảm nhận và lợi ích mong đợi của người dân là yếu tố quyết định đến sự hài lòng và mức độ tham gia. Trong khi đó, tác động của yếu tố kéo thông qua truyền thông nhà nước không thật sự ảnh hưởng đến hành vi tham gia. Từ đây, các khuyến nghị chính sách tập trung vào cách tiếp cận từ dưới lên để đảm bảo các hoạt động xuất phát từ nhu cầu và lợi ích của người dân, phù hợp với định hướng của chính phủ và đảm bảo sự phát triển bền vững của chương trình.
