Authors: Putri Sheila Izdihar Hendra , Fitriana Maria
Published: October 2023

Green eggplant was a vegetable which used for cooking ingredients and has rich nutrients. To increase the green eggplant productivity, it was necessary to improve the quality of growing media so the plant nutrition will be fulfilled. This study aimed to find out the best composition of growing media for the growth and yield of green eggplant. It used a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with 10 treatments for the composition of the growing media. The results of the analysis of diversity showed that the application of rice husk charcoal and chicken manure had a very significant effect on plant height, number of leaves, stem diameter, flowering age, harvest age, number of fruits per plant, fruit length, fruit diameter, and total fruit weight per plant. The results of the orthogonal contrast test showed that the green eggplant grown on soil media was very significantly different from the green eggplant grown on other growing media in all variables. The best results were obtained from the treatment of rice husk charcoal: chicken manure: soil (2:1:1) on the variables of plant height was 42.26 cm, flowering age was 22.33 days, total fruit weight per plant was 538.44 g, fruit diameter was 38.16 mm, and average weight per fruit was 81.66 g. The treatment of growing media composition using a combination of chicken manure and rice husk charcoal was better than the growing media with just one organic matter.

Geomorphology of the NE Part of the České Středohoří Mts. in the Environs of Úštěk, Northern Bohemia
Authors: Váňa Ludvík
Published: October 2023

For this country has been made a geomorphological map in the field scale of 1 : 25 000. The geological structure is formed by Upper Cretaceous sediments and partly by overlying Tertiary volcanic rocks and pyroclastic material. Orographically belongs the NW part of this country to a volcanic mountain range České středohoří Mts. The SW part belongs to the Bohemian Cretaceous plateau. All this country lies on the N side of the Středohorský zlom fault dating from Oligocene - Miocene Ages (Saxonian tectonic movements - Savian phase). Along this fault may be seen a subsiding zone Úštěcká kotlina basin. These faults dating from Attic phase of Saxonian movements caused a small extent of the Post - Basalt level in the České středohoří Mts. which had been formed during Miocene age in a large area in North Bohemia and adjacent Saxonia as a peneplain. This plateau was disturbed and only in places preserved. It is limited nowadays to 2 small areas over 575 m a. s. but nevertheless it is the most characteristic feature of the NE part of the České středohoří Mts. Systematical geomorphology contains here plain and peneplain phenomena consisting of the post-basalt level mentioned above, denudation plains on the volcanits (trapp - plains) being very common in the plateau of Verneřice, denudation plains on the Cretaceous sediments being of the Pliocene age and forming large plateaus often in the uniform altitudes of 450 and about 270 m a. s. Both of the latter plains may be called structural plains, too, because they are influenced by the geological structure of the rocks. Two plains af piedmont proluvial sediments may be seen on the SE slopes of the České středohoří Mts. forming transitions into the river terraces which do not really occur in this country. There are only remnants of pebbles or erosional river terraces. The slopes may be called owing to their polygenic character the erosional - denudational ones and are divided into the steep, smooth and those on the loess sheets. Of the group of structural volcanic relief features exist in this country the conic summits, heaplike summits and dikes. The group of valley relief features contains outwash valleys (erosianal, V - shaped valleys), erosianal-accumulational valleys including flood plains, waterfalls with rapids and dellen. Other relief features include forms as follows: flood fans, landslides being very common owing to marly and tuffitic rocks, talus piles and block fields (seas of rock). Quarzit blocks and silicic conglomerates being the products of fossil weathering may be found in some places pointing to a former existence of the Oligocene peneplain.

Authors: Poudel Sadikshya , Angolkar Mubashir , Maldar Arif
Published: October 2023

Introduction: Hypertension and hypothyroidism are common problems in the community. Although the hypothyroidism prevalence in people with hypertension has been reported, there are limited studies about hypertension prevalence in hypothyroid patients. This study aimed to analyze the prevalence and age of hypertension among patients with overt primary hypothyroidism in a tertiary care center in India.

Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among hypothyroid patients who consecutively attended a tertiary care hospital in Karnataka, India from 1 November 2020 to 30 September 2021. Purposive sampling method was used. Data was tabulated in MS Excel version 16 and analyzed via Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 20.0.

Results: A total of 520 overt primary hypothyroid patients with 141 (27.1%) men and 379 (72.9%) women were included in the study. The mean age of the hypothyroid patients was 52.20 ± 16.414 years, with 58.27 ± 17.339 years of male and 49.95 ± 15.483 years of female (p < 0.05). The prevalence of hypertension among total hypothyroid patients was 225 (43.3%) (39-47.54, 95% CI) with 77 (54.61%) (46.29-62.93, 95% CI) in men and 148 (39.1%) (34.12-43.98, 95% CI) in women (p < 0.05). The mean age of patients with hypertension was 59.97 ± 13.218 years, with 65.39 ± 11.642 years of male and 57.15 ± 13.144 years of female (p < 0.05). 2

Conclusions: The prevalence of hypertension in hypothyroid patients was similar to prevalence in the general population and was higher in males than in females. The gender-wise distribution of patients with hypertension among hypothyroidism was more in females due to the high proportions of female in patients with hypothyroidism.

Authors: Haris Rafki , Wiria Aryanta
Published: October 2023

Background: Decubitus ulcers are injuries to skin and underlying tissue resulting from prolonged pressure on the skin. There are numbers of surgical methods have been devised over a year for treatment of decubitus ulcers. Double Limberg flap is our procedure of choice, which we present here as our experience. Case presentation: The study describe a 29 years old male with chief complaint is unable to move both limbs. One month before admission the patient admitted that he had been hit by the roof of the chicken coop while cleaning it. After the incident, the patient wan unable to move his legs. The patient also admitted that he was unable to control his urination and bowel movements. The patient also complained that there were ulcers in the buttocks that were caused by being in bed for a long time. At Dr. Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital, the patient is planned to undergo posterior stabilization. After the posterior stabilization is carried out, this patient was planned to have the ulcer closure using a Limberg flap. The double limber flap survived completely. Flap necrosis was not seen in this case. The largest defect covered by this flap. There was no recurrence of pressure sores in this patient in the 6 month follow-up period. Conclusion: The Limberg flap is a fast, accurate and reliable alternative surgical technique utilizing local tissue in treating sacral decubitus ulcer. Limberg flap repair is an effective technique with short learning curve, patient comfort, early healing, and least complications and recurrence rates are the advantages of this procedure.
Analysis of Some Special Functions for a Problem of Optimization of Analog Circuits
Authors: Zemliak Alexander
Published: October 2023

Further development of a generalized methodology for optimizing analog circuits is proposed. This methodology is based on the theory of optimal control. We have transformed the problem of minimizing the CPU time needed to optimize the circuit into the classical problem of minimizing the function in optimal control theory. In this case, we represent the process of optimizing the analog circuit as a controlled dynamic system. To analyze the properties of such a system, we propose to use the concept of the Lyapunov function of a dynamical system. The new special functions allow us to predict the CPU time for circuit optimization by analyzing the characteristics of the initial part of the process. It has been established that for any optimization strategy, there is a correlation between the behavior of these functions and the CPU time corresponding to these strategies.

Intraductal papillary neoplasms of the bile duct (IPNBs) represent a rare variant of biliary tumors characterized by a papillary growth within the bile duct lumen. Since their first description in 2001, several classifications have been proposed, mainly based on histopathological, radiological and clinical features, although no specific guidelines addressing their management have been developed. Bile duct neoplasms generally develop through a multistep process, involving different precursor pathways, ranging from the initial lesion, detectable only microscopically, i.e. biliary intraepithelial neoplasia, to the distinctive grades of IPNB until the final stage represented by invasive cholangiocarcinoma. Complex and advanced investigations, mainly relying on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and cholangioscopy, are required to reach a correct diagnosis and to define an adequate bile duct mapping, which supports proper treatment. The recently introduced subclassifications of types 1 and 2 highlight the histopathological and clinical aspects of IPNB, as well as their natural evolution with a particular focus on prognosis and survival. Aggressive surgical resection, including hepatectomy, pancreaticoduodenectomy or both, represents the treatment of choice, yielding optimal results in terms of survival, although several endoscopic approaches have been described. IPNBs are newly recognized preinvasive neoplasms of the bile duct with high malignant potential. The novel subclassification of types 1 and 2 defines the histological and clinical aspects, prognosis and survival. Diagnosis is mainly based on MRI and cholangioscopy. Surgical resection represents the mainstay of treatment, although endoscopic resection is currently applied to nonsurgically fit patients. New frontiers in genetic research have identified the processes underlying the carcinogenesis of IPNB, to identify targeted therapies.

The role of visual crowding in eye movements during reading: Effects of text spacing
Authors: Chiu Tzu-Yao , Drieghe Denis
Published: October 2023

Visual crowding, generally defined as the deleterious influence of clutter on visual discrimination, is a form of inhibitory interaction between nearby objects. While the role of crowding in reading has been established in psychophysics research using rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) paradigms, how crowding affects additional processes involved in natural reading, including parafoveal processing and saccade targeting, remains unclear. The current study investigated crowding effects on reading via two eye-tracking experiments. Experiment 1 was a sentence-reading experiment incorporating an eye-contingent boundary change in which reader’s parafoveal processing was quantified through comparing reading times after valid or invalid information was presented in the parafovea. Letter spacing was jointly manipulated to compare how crowding affects parafoveal processing. Experiment 2 was a passage-reading experiment with a line spacing manipulation. In addition to replicating previously observed letter spacing effects on global reading parameters (i.e., more but shorter fixations with wider spacing), Experiment 1 found an interaction between preview validity and letter spacing indicating that the efficiency of parafoveal processing was constrained by crowding and visual acuity. Experiment 2 found reliable but subtle influences of line spacing. Participants had shorter fixation durations, higher skipping probabilities, and less accurate return sweeps when line spacing was increased. In addition to extending the literature on the role of crowding to reading in ecologically valid scenarios, the current results inform future research on characterizing the influence of crowding in natural reading and comparing effects of crowding across reader populations.

Authors: Ruiz Ravelo Rodolfo Martín , Navarro Hernández Juan Carlos , Torres Ruiz Elizabeth , Hernández De Lira Perla Karina
Published: October 2023

La ingestión de un cuerpo extraño complicada con perforación del tracto digestivo es un hecho bien conocido. Aproximadamente entre el 80-90% de los cuerpos extraños ingeridos pasan por el tracto gastrointestinal sin ser detectados, expulsándose en promedio en el lapso de una semana, entre el 10-20% requieren extracción por vía endoscópica y aproximadamente el 1-4% ocasionan obstrucción o perforación intestinal requiriendo remoción quirúrgica; Sin embargo existen raras ocasiones en las que la perforación no genera sintomatología y el cuerpo extraño migra a otros sitios, siendo lo más común la invasión a estructuras del cuello y en muy pocos casos intraabdominal, el hígado es uno de los órganos involucrados. Donde pueden actuar produciendo respuesta inflamatoria local y como medio de colonización de microorganismos produciendo  en ocasiones la formación de un absceso intrahepático y en última instancia trombosis de la vena porta.

Schizoaffective disorder is a chronic mental illness characterized by a combination of symptoms seen in both schizophrenia and mood disorders. It is considered a subtype of schizophrenia spectrum disorders. People with schizoaffective disorder experience various symptoms, including hallucinations, delusions, disorganized thinking, impaired social functioning, and mood disturbances, which can manifest as manic, depressive, or mixed episodes. This case report examines a 33-yearold male patient diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder who presented with negative symptoms, depressive mood, and cognitive impairments. He also experienced visual hallucinations, which represents the particularity of this case. The patient had a history of congenital cataracts, which affected his visual acuity from an early age. Despite undergoing surgery to replace the affected lenses, he developed myopia and continued to experience visual impairment. This case highlights the differential diagnosis challenges in this rare situation. It also raises questions about the relationship between visual hallucinations and somatic impairments. The patient’s successful treatment included a combination of antipsychotic, antidepressant, and mood stabilizer medications. Recommendations were provided for continued outpatient treatment, psychiatric monitoring, and participation in support groups and therapy sessions.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. Symptoms vary from muscle weakness to vision loss and tend to worsen during flares and improve during periods of remission. Psychiatric symptoms are common in people with MS, impacting the quality of life and some features of MS (fatigue, sleep, disability, adherence to disease-modifying drugs). The main psychiatric manifestations of MS are depressive, bipolar, anxiety, schizophrenic, and obsessive–compulsive syndromes. We will present the case of a 46-year-old female patient who came to our clinic for disorientation to time and space, impaired recent and recall memory, auditory hallucinations, sad mood, irritability, and slightly decreased appetite for food.

Aim. TIntroduction. To evaluate in-hospital angiographic  and five-year posthospital clinical outcomes  of percutaneous  intervention strategy without stent implantation with immediate coronary  artery stenting technique in STEMI patients  with massive coronary thrombosis.

Material and methods. The  study  enrolled  116  patients  with primary STEMI myocardial  infarction with the signs  of massive  thrombosis  in the lumen of the main  epicardial  coronary   artery with TIMI thrombus  grade  greater  than 3 after antegrade blood  flow restoration. In the 1st group of delayed intervention at the primary stage the blood  flow was restored by small diameter balloon  inflation and/ or manual vacuum thrombus  aspiration until stable TIMI grade  3 blood   flow  was achieved,  at control  CAG on day 5-6  in 36 people  the stent was not implanted due to insignificance of infarct-related coronary  artery stenosis (stenosis less than 50% according  to QCA). Immediate stent implantation was performed  in 78 patients (group 2). The primary endpoint  was  the incidence  of adverse cardiovascular events, including total mortality, recurrent myocardial infarction, repeated revascularization of the infarct-responsive  artery. Secondary  endpoint: frequency of achieving optimal myocardial perfusion as  measured by  angiography – TIMI blood flow and Myocardial Blush Grade.

Results. The median follow-up  period  was  47  months.  The incidence  of the primary end point (MACE) was 15,8%  in group 1 and 23,1%  in group 2, with no  statistically significant difference  (p=0,408).   Overall mortality (10,5% and 11,7%),  the rate of repeat myocardial infarction (2,6%  and 5,1%),  and the rate of repeat target vessel revascularization (2,6%  and 6,4%)  were without significant advantage between subgroups.  Optimal reperfusion (TIMI-3 and Myocardial Blush Grade 2-3  after primary procedure  was achieved  in significantly (p=0,02)  more patients in group 1 (89%)  than in group 2 (69,2%)  ST segment resolution ≥70% after intervention was achieved in 87%  of cases  in group 1 and in 64,1%  of cases in group 2 (p=0,011).

Conclusion. In STEMI patients  with massive coronary thrombosis, the method of delayed percutaneous  intervention increases  the rate of achieving optimal blood flow  and allows  avoiding  stent implantation in the infarct-related artery in 50% of cases as compared to the method of immediate stenting. Both methods have comparable hospital and five-year clinical risks.

In the complex pathogenesis of idiopathic  pulmonary  arterial hypertension (IPAH), which includes changes  in biochemical  and  biophysical  processes in various cell  types  as  the cause  of structural and  functional  impairment, inflammation and thrombosis  of the pulmonary vessels,  hypoxia also plays an important role due to conformational changes  in hemoglobin  molecules  with changes  in their structure and oxygen  transport function impairment.

Aim: Using the method of Raman (Raman scattering) spectroscopy,  to study changes  in the conformation  and ability of hemoglobin  (Hb) to bind oxygen  in blood erythrocytes from the cubital vein in IPAH patients and healthy people. Materials and methods:  The study included 39 patients with newly diagnosed IPAH with functional  class  I – 2 patients, II – 13 patients, III – 22 patients, IV – 2 patients.  15 patients were treatment naive. In 24 patients a “washout” period of trial therapy was conducted  for 5–7 days. The control group included 10 healthy volunteers.

Results: It  was  established  that the  Raman  spectra  of Hb  of whole  blood erythrocytes and isolated red blood cells (RBC) of IPAH patients have significant differences  from the control  group.  The IPAH group  was characterized  by an increase  in the probability of finding heme in a «dome-shaped  form», which is typical for the deoxygenated  form of Hb, changes  in the conformation  of globin  and the porphyrin macrocycle   were revealed. A significant role in the change in the oxygen-transport function of Hb in IPAH was played  by a change in the conformation  of membrane-bound hemoglobin, which was characterized by an increase in the contribution of symmetrical vibrations of pyrrole rings in hemoporphyrin  relative to the control,  which required further study. Probably, the reason  for the decrease  in the ability of the oxygen  transport function of membrane-bound hemoglobin was the decrease  in the efficiency of electrostatic interaction  with the  protein  of band 3. In clinical case  positive  changes  in spectroscopy  parameters were shown in IPAH patient with the effective  use of selexipag.

Conclusions: For the first time, the possibility  of using a non-invasive method of Raman spectroscopy  to study changes in the oxygen transport function of erythrocytes in IPAH patients has been  proven,  which  can serve  as an additional method in the diagnostic algorithm of this disease.
Case report: role of cardiac MRI in the diagnosis of myocarditis
Authors: Butorova E. A. , Stukalova O. V.
Published: October 2023

Diagnosis  of myocarditis   remains  one of the  most difficult  clinical problems  in cardiology.  In connection  with the coronavirus  infection COVID-19 caused by the acute respiratory virus SARS-CoV-2,  non-invasive diagnosis of myocarditis  is an urgent task. The most  informative method for  diagnosing  myocarditis  is  magnetic  resonance  imaging  [1,2]. The arsenal of MRI includes  a number of pulse sequences that make it possible to identify and evaluate the process  of inflammation in its various phases. Various pulse sequences  (T2-weighted images  or T2-mapping, delayed contrast, T1-mapping) allow not only to diagnose the disease, but also to determine  the stages  of damage.  The ability of MRI to differentiate ischemic and non-ischemic  lesions [3] is used in emergency cardiology for various myocardial injuries.

The peculiarity of this clinical case  is the use of MRI diagnostics  in a patient with a typical clinical picture of acute coronary syndrome  in the emergency department of cardiology. The data of the contrast MRI of the heart allowed the patient to make the correct diagnosis.

Published: October 2023

BACKGROUND: Sensory stimulation can help individuals regain sensitivity by paying attention to sensory input and its relationship to the activity to be carried out. Sensory stimulation combined with functional exercise is the main determinant of functional improvement in stroke. The study of the intensity and duration of therapy has not been widely carried out.
AIM: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of sensorimotor stimulation given intensively to improve functional abilities in patients with stroke and to ensure that there was no deterioration in their medical condition as a result of initial therapy.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: This research method uses a pre-experimental design with a one-group pre-posttest involving 30 patients meeting predefined inclusion criteria in a one-group pre- and post-test design. The program consists of 16 sessions of sensomotoric stimulation and functional activity training in the physiotherapy gymnasium and daily sessions of ADL at home over 6 weeks. The efficacy of the program was evaluated by a stroke rehabilitation assessment of movement and a functional independence measure.
RESULTS: A significant difference was observed in both motor skill (p = 0.00) and functional ability (p = 0.00) obtained on the 6th week of assessment. In a comparison of the benefits of therapy in two gender groups (p = 0.96 and 0.20), age groups (p = 0.55 and 0.86), and stroke severity (p = 0.50 and 0.64). The result showed there is no significant difference in the benefits of therapy applied to all of these groups.
CONCLUSION: Sensomotoric stimulation given from the 1st day of stroke and continued intensively has been found to have a better impact on motor skills and functional ability.
The era of digital pharmacy. 3D printing - realities and perspectives
Authors: Dimitrov Milen , Georgieva Dilyana , Ilieva Sofiya , Petkova Valentina
Published: October 2023

3D printing is an innovative technology for building three-dimensional objects by laying down successive layers of material under the control of a computer software. It is entering pharmacy mainly because of its revolutionary potential to provide individualized dosage forms that meet the needs of each patient, due to the possibility to produce objects of many different sizes and shapes. An important aspect of personalized 3D tablets is the possibility to include several active substances in one dosage form, which would reduce the daily number of medications and the frequency of their administration and improve patient compliance. Another advantage of 3D printing is the possibility of producing small batches or even individual drugs for each patient. Despite the many advantages, 3D printing has several technological challenges to overcome before it becomes widely applicable in pharmacy. Five basic technologies are currently applied in pharmaceutical practice: powder-based printing, selective laser sintering, stereolithography, extrusion moulding printing, and electrohydrodynamic 3D printing. This article reviewed development, research focus, and prospects of each technology respectively.

Health Disparities for Immigrant Children: Focus on Epilepsy
Authors: Shah Prachi , Skjei Karen
Published: October 2023

Although health and health care disparities between immigrant and native-born adult populations in the United States are well documented, the pediatric literature is limited. Data suggest first- and second- generation immigrant children have worse health outcomes when compared with their native-born counterparts because of factors such as socioeconomic status, insurance and language barriers, authorization status, and bias/xenophobia. This article takes a broad look at existing research regarding health barriers for immigrant children, then focuses on the pediatric epilepsy literature to highlight the complex interplay of these disparity factors. Finally, we review the literature on existing interventions, including language concordance, community-driven educational efforts, and broad-scale policy changes that can be used to promote health equity in pediatric epilepsy and beyond. Research gaps are also identified.

Pathogenicity of Citrus Nematode (Tylenchulus semipenetrans)
Authors: Hagag Eman Samir
Published: October 2023

Citrus slow decline nematode, Tylenchulus semipenetrans, causes significant damage to all citrus-producing regions of the world and limits the production of citrus fruit under a wide range of environmental and edaphic conditions. T. semipenetrans is a semiendoparasite with a fairly narrow host rang that includes olive, grape, and citrus. No species in the genus citrus has been found to have resistance to T. semipenetrans but the only source of resistance incorporated into citrus is a dominate trait derived from Poncirus trifoliate. This chapter covers host preference among the citrus species and other hosts, biotypes, or races of T. semipenetrans and the relationship between different initial densities of T. semipenetrans and nematode infestation. Consequently, it is necessary to understand the environmental factors affecting parasitism to T. semipenetrans and management practices.

Published: October 2023

Sustainable agriculture relies on meticulous soil health assessment, including nematode indicators. They serve as vital bio-indicators, yet the study of beneficial nematodes remains unexplored. The goal of this chapter is to explore nematodes' significance in agriculture, covering their role in soil health, responses to climate change affecting crop production, and contributions to SDGs. Nematodes are valuable indicators due to their roles in nutrient cycling. Nematodes enhance soil health through various strategies, contributing to plant growth. Resistant pests are driving a shift towards eco-friendly pesticides, promoting biological control for plant protection and environmental preservation. EPNs rely on understanding adaptation and establishment in agricultural ecosystems. EPNs, known for their virulence and adaptable cultivation, combat insect pests effectively across various agricultural systems. The connections between nematodes, soil health, and pest management promise to advance sustainable agriculture, bolster environmental stability, and ensure food security.
