A survey of protocols from 54 infant and toddler neuroimaging research labs
Authors: Hendrix Cassandra , Thomason Moriah E
Published: September 2021

Infant and toddler MRI enables unprecedented insight into the developing brain. However, consensus about optimal data collection practices is lacking, which slows growth of the field and impedes replication efforts. The goal of this study was to collect systematic data across a large number of infant/toddler research laboratories to better understand preferred practices. Survey data addressed MRI acquisition strategies, scan success rates, visit preparations, scanning protocols, accommodations for families, study design, and policies regarding incidental findings. Respondents had on average 8 years’ experience in early life neuroimaging and represented more than fifty research laboratories. Areas of consensus across labs included higher success rates among newborns compared to older infants or toddlers, high rates of data loss across age groups, and age-specific scan preparation and participant accommodation. Researchers remain divided on best practices regarding incidental findings and decisions in longitudinal and cross-sectional study design. This study provides a summary of practices honed over years of work by a large collection of scientists, which may serve as an important resource for those new to the field. The ability to reference data about best practices facilitates future harmonization, data sharing, and reproducibility, all of which advance this important frontier in developmental science.

RED IBEROAMERICANA DE INVESTIGACION EN CIENCIAS DE LA SALUD
Authors: Leal Montiel Jorymar
Published: September 2021

Las redes de investigación surgen con el avance y desarrollo de la ciencia en el siglo XX, a partir de los cambios generados en la sociedad por los canales de distribución y difusión de las tecnologías de la información y de la comunicación (TIC) en todas las regiones del mundo y especialmente en América Latina. En este contexto, las redes electrónicas de investigación y desarrollo (I+D) provienen de la evolución de la sociedad del conocimiento en el inicio de las redes en el sistema social o la llamada sociedad en red (1). En este sentido, a mediados de los años noventa en América Latina, se apreciaron los primeros cambios en las políticas de ciencia y tecnología que fortalecieron el desarrollo de las redes de I+D concentrados en la reorganización institucional de la gestión en los sistemas de ciencia y tecnología, así como en las modificaciones introducidas por las legislaciones que daban a los Estados una mayor responsabilidad en el fomento de las actividades de I+D, la integración de las universidades y los centros de investigación en dicha estrategia (2).
 
En el siglo XXI, en el marco de una sociedad globalizada, las redes de investigación juegan un papel importante como productoras de conocimientos e intercambio y transmisión de los mismos, partiendo de la interacción social, uno de los principales factores determinantes de la globalización de la ciencia, es la disponibilidad de los socios potenciales y la disposición a colaborar en las actividades de investigación conjuntas (3,4). Las redes de investigación se definen como asociaciones de grupos para actividades de investigación y desarrollo tecnológico a partir de programas y proyectos de investigación, orientadas al logro de resultados comunes provenientes de una política de desarrollo científico, social, tecnológico e innovativo en el área del conocimiento humano (5).
African Heritage in Mythology
Authors: Berezkin Yuri
Published: September 2021

Our analytical catalogue contains information on many thousands of folklore and mythological texts. The systemic approach to this material argues in favor of an African origin of episodes and images that were recorded in sub-Saharan Africa, the Indo-Pacific border of Asia and in America but are absent in continental Eurasia. Such a pattern corresponds to genetic and archaeological data concerning the early spread of the modern human from Africa in two directions, i.e. to the East along the coast of the Indian Ocean to Southeast Asia and Australia, and to the North into Europe, Central Asia and Siberia. The natural conditions of humankind in the Indo-Pacific Tropics and in the African homeland are essentially similar; conversely, in the Eurasian North, deep cultural changes and a loss of the African heritage are to be expected. Though there are no cultures in Asia that could be considered to be related to the ancestors of the earliest migrants into the New World still being identified by archaeologists, similar sets of motifs in South America and in the Indo-Pacific part of the Old World provide evidence in favor of the East Asian homeland of the first Americans. Later groups of migrants brought those motifs typical for continental Eurasia to North America. Though we take into account conclusions reached by specialists in other historical disciplines, big data on mythology and folklore is argued to be an independent source of information on the human past.

The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a pandemic health emergency, caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). Most people infected with the COVID-19 virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without requiring special treatment. Older people and those with underlying some medical problems are more likely to develop serious illness. Considering different classical and contemporary viewpoints, the newly identified COVID-19 can be categorized under agantuja vyadhi (exogenous disease) by inception, caused by bhoota (organisms), and transforming to nija (endogenous) leading to disequilibrium of kapha, vata, and pitta doshas and manifestation of clinical features of mainly pranavaha (cardio-pulmonary system), rasavaha (cardio-vascular system) and raktavaha (vascular and RES) srotas dushti (vitiation of channels). In Ayurveda, for a new disease, the treatment principle is designed on the basis of the nature of the disorder, etiology and location. Hence rasayana drugs for epidemic disease, disinfectants for microorganism, dosha (mainly kapha and vata) pacifying drugs and disease-location specific treatment i.e deepana (stomachic), pachana (digestive), shwasahara (anti-dyspnea) and kasahara (anti-cough) are being discussed in this paper. Apart from this, potential of mukhavaishadyakara (mouth cleansing agent), patimarsha-nasya (nasal smearing), krimighna (anti-viral), vishaghna (anti-toxic) and kshara (alkali) dravya (medicinal plants) are being highlighted as these groups of drugs are effective in subsiding kapha, vata, killing microorganism and protecting ojas (immunity) by virtue of their broad spectrum pharmacodynamic properties.

Preliminary phytochemical analysis of the rind extract of the plant showed the presence of phytochemical constituents such as alkaloids, phenolic compounds, steroids, tannins, flavonoids, glycosides, diterpenes and triterpenes. The plant extracts were evaluated for the antimicrobial activity by in vitro agar well-diffusion at a dose rate of 5mg/ml, 10 mg/ml and 15mg/ml against the microbial strains namely Staphylococcus aureus, Vibrio parahemolyticus, Listeria monocytogenus and Salmonella tymphimurium. The results of the antimicrobial activity showed effective inhibitory activity against all the tested organisms in a dose dependant manner.

Authors: Charafeddine Lama , Anka Mariam , Saad Therese , Tayeh Christelle , Charafeddine Lama
Published: September 2021

Neonatal thrombosis is a well-described morbidity occurring in the neonatal intensive care unit. Critically ill neonates are most vulnerable to developing thrombosis with serious complications. Fingers and toes ischaemia secondary to vascular occlusion following central lines insertion remains an uncommon occurrence. The therapeutic approach for peripheral tissue injury using local warming, anticoagulants, thrombolytics or topical hyaluronidase showed limited benefits and potential side effects. Here we report an unusual case of finger ischaemia treated successfully using topical nitroglycerine. This complements previous reports confirming the efficacy and safety of this drug and highlighting its potential benefit in neonates.

ENMG was consistent with supraclavicular nerve injury. Since the symptoms may mimic infection, the awareness of this complication will aid the clinician to avoid unnecessary use of antimicrobials.
