Authors: Prasad Umakant Wallalwar  , Pradnya Dandekar  , Shweta Dadarao Parwe
Published: March 2021

The concept of Immunity is mentioned as ‘Vyadhikshamatwa’ in Ayurveda. In Ayurveda numbers of medicinal herbs are described under immunity-enhancing drugs category. The concept of immunity enhancer is explained under the category of Rasayan chikitsa in Ayurveda. These herbs are used in various diseases, especially by modulating the immune system. These herbs are called as Rasayan Dravyas. Ayurveda medical science comprises the herbs which are Rasayana and also which are non-Rasayana in nature. In Samhitas entirely enriched with enormous data of Rasayana medicinal herbs acting as immune modulators. The data of available Samhitas and researches show that these Rasayana herbs have immense potential as immune modulators. Advanced researches have proven that drugs like Guduchi, Haritaki, Ashwagandha, Brahmi, Jyotishmati act as a good immune enhancer. Theses herbs are mentioned in Ayurveda as Rasayana drugs. Experimental studies also have proven the role of Rasayana drugs as antioxidant, adoptogenic and having anti-stress activities. These Rasayana drugs as having immunity enhancer protect the health of a healthy person and protects them from any type of diseased condition. Charakacharya had mentioned Rasayanchikitsa adhyay as the first addhya of their chikitsasthan considering his aim as ‘Swasthasya Swasthya Rakshanam’. This means to protect the health of a healthy person as in priority by using immunity enhancer drugs as Rasayanas. This review article empowers such reviewed data on Rasayan medicinal herbs as a promising future target for immunotherapy.

Published: March 2021

Introduction: In the treatment of inoperable patients with severe aortic stenosis or at high surgical risk, transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is applied as an alternative to surgical aortic valve replacement. In our study, it was aimed to evaluate the factors affecting the length of stay in hospital of TAVI cases.
Method: After obtaining the approval of the ethics committee, the patients who received TAVI between 09.06.2012-19.01.2018 in the Interventional Cardiology unit of Dokuz Eylül University were retrospectively screened. A total of 243 patients were included in the study. Demographic data, preoperative accompanying diseases and echocardiographic results of the cases, the type of anesthesia applied, the duration of postoperative coronary intensive care, and a hospital stay were recorded. The analysis of the data was carried out in the SPSS 22.0 statistical package program,
Results: 53.5% of the patients who underwent transcatheter aortic valve implantation received general anesthesia, 46.5% received local anesthesia and sedation. 93.8% of the patients were discharged upon recovery. There was a significant difference between the postoperative length of stay in the hospital and the type of anesthesia (p=0.008). It was shown that patients who underwent general anesthesia were discharged later than patients who underwent sedation.
Discussion and Conclusion: Due to the high risks of surgery, it is of vital importance to shorten the length of stay in hospital in high-risk patients over 65 years of age who undergo TAVI.
Развилки судьбы фронтирного города: уроки Игарки
Authors: Замятина Н. Ю.
Published: March 2021

На примере Игарки – города, с создания которого началось промышленное использование Северного морского пути для экспорта сырья – рассматривается механизм эволюции фронтирного города. Под фронтирным понимается город, созданный в районе нового освоения в связи с вводом в оборот нового вида ресурса. После первой, пионерной, фазы развития такой город эволюционирует по одному из двух сценариев: либо формирования монопрофильного поселения, либо развития города-базы дальнейшего освоения. Монопрофильный город эффективен на небольшом отрезке времени, но при истощении ресурса или изменении условий его эксплуатации теряет жизнеспособность. База освоения обеспечивает условия эксплуатации все новых ресурсов, по сути – воспроизводства фронтира. Именно такие функции могут сохраниться в городе по исчерпании первоначального ресурса. Игарка пошла по первому пути, и автор задается вопросом, насколько предопределенным был этот выбор.

Частнопредпринимательский уклад в отечественной экономике 1920-х гг.: взгляд через век
Authors: Килин А. П.
Published: March 2021

Новая экономическая политика могла бы стать типичным примером регулирования многоукладной экономики, не реализуйся она государством «диктатуры пролетариата», лидеры которого декларировали примат плана перед рынком и уничтожение частной собственности. Частный сектор хозяйства был легализован, но поставлен в неравные условия с государственным и связанным с ним секторами, рамки допустимого для предпринимательской деятельности постоянно суживались, ее субъекты дискриминировались. По сути, нэп выполнял функцию своеобразного «шлюза», предоставляя ограниченную возможность адаптации существующих укладов к реалиям централизованного планового управления. Экономические акторы, находясь на различных позициях в политическом и социальном спектрах общества, эмпирически определяли допустимую степень соблюдения и возможного нарушения установленных законов и норм. Особую роль в этих процессах играл частнопредпринимательский уклад, охватывавший широкие слои населения и выступавший индикатором границ допущения рыночных отношений. На излете 1920-х гг. данный уклад получил свое законченное «ликвидационное» определение как нежелательного «замкнутого круга частного сектора хозяйства». Реализованное стремление государства получить контроль над всеми видами ресурсов, сконцентрировать их в своих руках и направить на приоритетные направления развития (модель мобилизационной экономики) повлекло за собой не столько ликвидацию предпринимательства, сколько трансформацию его в своего рода «неформальный уклад» советской экономической системы. Получивший институциональное закрепление в отечественных социально-гуманитарных науках, но интерпретированный с различных позиций в течение XX века укладный подход позволяет проанализировать объективность существования социально-экономической многоукладности 1920-х гг. и причины и динамику ее инкорпорирования советской мобилизационной системой

Operation of fitness centers during the COVID-19 pandemic: opinions of Brazilian managers
Authors: Soares Vinícius , Fernandes Paula Teixeira
Published: March 2021

The new coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has impacted sports-related professionals. Brazilian fitness centers remained closed between March and July, resulting in a large number of professionals being dismissed. Although our country is still far from overcoming COVID-19, fitness centers are back in operation. In this study, we interviewed gym managers to understand the socioeconomic effects of the pandemic and identify strategies to reduce the chances of SARS-CoV-2 transmission. We considered 85 responses via a Google Forms questionnaire and identified that disinfection of the environment and availability of 70% alcohol were in consensus. There was also agreement on social distancing, mask use, and temperature assessment. Our main concern relates to social distancing, which seems unfeasible in environments focused on sports practice. We believe that these measures may difficult virus circulation, but may be insufficient to prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection. Finally, the measures imposed by Brazilian state governors to restrict opening hours may worsen the implementation of social distancing in fitness centers.
Prosocial motivation as a mediator between dispositional mindfulness and prosocial behavior
Authors: Kil Hali , O'Neill David , Grusec Joan
Published: March 2021

Researchers have theorized that mindfulness leads to prosocial behavior through awareness of one’s personal goals and motivations. The present research examined the mediating effect of internalized prosocial motivation on the link between dispositional mindfulness and prosocial behavior. Undergraduate students (N=232) completed questionnaires assessing prosocial motivation and mindfulness. Prosocial behavior was assessed with the social mindfulness decision-making task. The results indicated that internalized prosocial motivation mediated the link between the mindfulness facet of acting with awareness and social mindfulness. The results suggest the importance of individual characteristics such as internalized prosocial motivation as mediators of the link between dispositional mindfulness and prosocial behavior. Given that only one facet of mindfulness—acting with awareness—was indirectly associated with prosocial behavior, the results also indicate that general measures of dispositional mindfulness may not be sufficiently nuanced when investigating these associations.
Volatility shocks and investment behavior
Authors: Huber Christoph , Huber Juergen , Kirchler Michael
Published: March 2021

We investigate how volatility shocks affect investors’ risk-taking, risk perception and forecasts. We run artefactual field experiments with two participant pools (finance professionals and students), differing in (i) the direction of the shock (down, up, or a neutral case) and (ii) the presentation format of the time series (prices or returns). Professionals’ investments are negatively associated with the price change and performance of the stock and their perceived risk increases to a similar extent following shocks of all directions. Students’ risk perception, in contrast, is more closely related to the frequency of negative returns rather than an increase in volatility.
PTPRC is differentially expressed in the lymph nodes of patients with metastatic breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: March 2021

Metastasis to the brain is a clinical problem in patients with breast cancer (1-3). Between the breast and the brain reside the secondary lymphoid organ, the lymph nodes. We mined published microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with metastasis to the lymph nodes in humans with metastatic breast cancer. We found that protein tyrosine phosphatase, receptor type C, PTPRC, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the lymph node metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to primary tumors of the breast. PTPRC mRNA was present at increased quantities in lymph node metastases as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Importantly, expression of PTPRC in primary tumors of the breast was correlated with patient post-progression survival, in lymph node negative patients but not in lymph node positive patients. Modulation of PTPRC expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the lymph nodes and the brain in humans with metastatic breast cancer.

Authors: Pond Richard S. , McCool Matison William , Bulla Brian A.
Published: March 2021

Intensive longitudinal research designs are becoming more common in the field of neuropsychology. They are a powerful approach to studying development and change in naturally occurring phenomena. However, to fully capitalize on the wealth of data yielded by these designs, researchers have to understand the nature of multilevel data structures. The purpose of the present article is to describe some of the basic concepts and techniques involved in modeling multilevel data structures. In addition, this article serves as a step-by-step tutorial to demonstrate how neuropsychologists can implement basic multilevel modeling techniques with real data and the R package, lmerTest. R may be an ideal option for some empirical scientists, applied statisticians, and clinicians, because it is a free and open-source programming language for statistical computing and graphics that offers a flexible and powerful set of tools for analyzing data. All data and code described in the present article have been made publicly available.

Mental health treatment in schools has the potential to improve youth treatment access. However, school-specific barriers can make implementing evidence-based interventions difficult. Task-shifting (i.e., training lay staff to implement interventions) and computer-assisted interventions may mitigate these barriers. This paper reports on a qualitative examination of facilitators and barriers of a school-based implementation of a computer-assisted intervention for anxious youth (Camp Cope-A-Lot; CCAL). Participants (N = 45) included school staff in first through fourth grades. Providers attended a training in CCAL and received weekly, hour-long group consultation calls for three months. In the second year, the sustainability of CCAL use was assessed. Qualitative interviews were conducted after the first year (initial implementation) and second year (sustainability). Interviews were analyzed using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research domains to classify themes. Although participants reported that CCAL included useful skills, they expressed concerns about recommended session length (45 minutes) and frequency (weekly). Time burden of consultation calls was also a barrier. School staff facilitated implementation by enabling flexible scheduling for youth to be able to participate in the CCAL program. However, the sustainability of the program was limited due to competing school/time demands. Results suggest that even with computer assisted programs, there is a need to tailor interventions and implementation efforts to account for the time restrictions experienced by school-based service providers. Optimal fit between the intervention and specific school is important to maintain the potential benefits of computer-assisted treatments delivered by lay service providers in schools.
How autonomy support mediates the relationship between self-efficacy and approaches to learning
Authors: Kulakow Stefan
Published: March 2021

The significant interplay between self-efficacy, perceived autonomy support andapproaches to learning in adolescent students is widely recognized. However, less is known about whether substantial differences exist between students from schools with different environments (student-centered vs. teacher-centered learning). To close this research gap, this study used latent mean comparison and multigroup multilevel mediation modelling with questionnaire data from a sample of German adolescent students (N = 1153; MAgeT1 = 13.97, SD = 1.37; MAgeT2 = 14.27, SD = 1.25) in two waves. Multigroup multilevel mediation modelling reveals that perceived autonomy support functions as a mediator in the association between self-efficacy and approaches to learning only for students from schools with a student-centered learning environment based on competency matrices in contrast to a teacher- directed learning environment. More specifically, adolescents’ approaches to learning can be enhanced through autonomy-supportive learning independently of their self-efficacy.

The tourism industry has an important role to improve economic and community welfare. In several regions, the industry boosts the regional economy as the main income source. Realizing this, the government has been currently trying to develop tourism potentials in their respective areas. North Sulawesi is one of the priorities for developing tourist destinations by the central government, and one of the tourist objects is Likupang. By setting Likupang as one of the priorities for developing tourist destinations, it will afford opportunities for the City of Manado to increase revenue from the tourism sector. Thus, a tourism management policy is needed to harmonize environmental, socio-cultural, and economic aspects. Manado City tourism management policy is assessed with The Exponential Comparison Method (MPE) by looking at the degree of importance based on experts’ opinions. Overall policy assessment refers to four aspects, namely environmental, socio-cultural, economic, and political aspects. Based on the weighting results, the availability of employment has the highest value. Meanwhile, for the assessment of alternative policies, the first integrated management policy between the main tourist objects around has the highest value.

He paints the barbarity of man in relation to his fellow man. It also presents the duality between the traditional society characterized by democracy, peace ... and the modern society based on dictatorship in which the government behaves as a state, as absolute master, and the governed in the eternal "- mute", "voiceless". It invites the recipients to renounce to the bad principle in order to establish democracy, a system that respects the individual freedom of the people, that of human rights, of professional promotion for the harmonious development of a sovereign and democratic State. The novel "The Shameful State" unfolds the spiral of the unpleasant reign of a megalomaniacal, criminal and lustful president, Colonel Martillimi Lopez, who "shamefully" manages power and ends with the crying and gnashing of his constituents' teeth. After having committed: pedophilia, adultery, assassination of opponents, he was deposed by his relatives who created an insurrection and was forced to hand over power to civilians to return to his native village.

A QUOI BON?

The title question related to the publication of our journal has a number of answer and reflection alternatives, both for its authors and readers alike.

One of the paradoxes of nowadays’ IT era is the avalanche of publications governed by the supreme god which is the INTERNET. In order to acquire the basic medical and scientific skills and to upgrade already trained physicians, the Internet has several paradoxical deficiencies:

The essence is, more often than not, buried under the pile of irrelevant or even false materials;

The information is, usually, unstructured, hard to categorize in a coherent system and incongruent;

Original articles end up in the public arena free of charge, after they lose their variety and newsworthiness;

The ease of access to this “treasure” gives the false impression of knowledge and control when, in fact, they can only be used effectively if they are personally studied.

Based on the above, there is the need to focus on instructing young physicians to think in a clinically medical way, within the mentor-apprentice framework, which is best illustrated by publishing highly visible articles.

Our journal aims at promoting, supporting and encouraging such win-win relations.

In a world continuously tempted by easiness and superficiality, we propose the narrow and bumpy road of hard intellectual work, started as early as student years. In a world of anti-elite levelling tendencies, we support the stringent need to create hierarchies based on authentic values. Last, but not least, in a blasé world, drowned in its own disillusions, we want to re-emphasize the perennial values of creativity, determination, consistency and vision.

Running the risk of falling down the pathetic side, we invite students, physicians and professors to join us in supporting this journal, as part of our belief in the transformative value of authentic science.

Endometriosis is a chronic disease of unknown etiology defined as the presence of ectopic endometrial and it affects approximately 10% of women in reproductive age. Sequelae of endometriosis are represented by infertility and chronic pelvic pain. GnRHa (gonadotropin releasing hormone) represent one of one medical approaches that were tried for endometriosis treatment.Choosing between agonists and antagonists means to compare risks and benefits. The antagonists of GnRH are less used because of their many side effects. GnRH agonists have many advantages such as: lower cost, less side effects and shorter treatment. The GnRH therapy is not only useful in the treatment of endometriosis but also in IVF. Nowadays, researches shows that the laparoscopic ablation is as efficient as the GnRH agonists therapy, but also a postoperative therapy with GnRH is indicated. Several protocols are actually available for IVF and Embrio Transfer. Also recent researches proved that a postoperative therapy with GnRH agonists in patients with endometriosis associated infertility raised the pregnancy rate and reduced pelvic pain.GnRH agonists can be considered as a first line therapy when severe pain is involved or second-line treatment in endometriosis in case of failure of therapy with oral contraceptives or progestins. GnRH is more efficient in the protocol of FIV than in the treatment of endometriosis.

Nowadays the laparoscopic approach represents the gold standard for acute cholecystitis, but we are facing little evidence regarding the elderly patients. The purpose of this study is to define the benefits in terms of early outcome for laparoscopic cholecystectomy in patients over 70 years old and to compare them with the open cholecystectomy through a retrospective study of patients that underwent a cholecystectomy during 12 months in the Emergency Hospital of Bucharest, Romania. Out of 49 patients, 20 had a laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) and 29 an open approach (OC). The mean age was 74,6 ± 4,2 (LC) vs. 77,2 ± 5,4 (OC) (P>0.05). There were 7 (33,3%) (LC) vs. 2 (7,1%) (OC) catarrhal cholecystitis, 13 (62%) (LC) vs. 9 (32,1%) (OC) phlegmonous cholecystitis, and 1 (4,8%) (LC) vs. 17 (60,7%) (OC) gangrenous cholecystitis (P=0.001, Cramer’s V=0,590). The median operative time was 90 (LC) vs. 60 (OC) minutes (P=0.001). There were no differences regarding the ASA risk scale (P=0,253). The median number of days to resume the diet was 3 (LC) vs. 4 (OC) (P=0.009). The median length of hospital stay was 72 hours (LC) vs. 120 hours (OC) (P=0.011). One patient died in the OC group and none in the LC group.To conclude, the laparoscopic approach in acute cholecystitis of elderly patients is safe. It is followed by a lower morbidity rate, a shorter length of hospital stay and by a more rapid return to normal activities.
HEPATIC HYDATID CYST OPERATED ROBOTICALLY

Published: March 2021

Based on a case operated in our clinic the paper discusses the various applications of robotic surgery in the surgical treatment of the hepatic hydatid cyst. We present the case of a 29- year-old patient who presented to our clinic with chronic abdominal pain (8 months) localized in the right upper quadrant, without irradiation and showing no other accompanying phenomena. The patient was hospitalized and after clinical and laboratory investigations we confirmed the diagnosis of hepatic multilocular hydatid cyst located in the V, VI and VIII segments. Surgery was performed under general anesthesia and with the help of the STANDARD da Vinci robotic system equipped with four arms. The parasite was intactivated, a partial pericystectomy was done and the remaining cavity was drained. The patient's postoperative evolution was favorable and she was discharged in the 8th postoperative day. The 8 month follow-up showed no complications or pathological changes. In conclusion, robotic surgery can be successfully used in the treatment of the hepatic hydatid cyst.
ANTERIOR CRUCIATE LIGAMENT RECONSTRUCTION IN POSTERIOR CRUCIATE LIGAMENT DEFICIENT KNEES - WHAT CAN BE SAVED?

Published: March 2021

The floppy Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) sign is a well-established arthroscopic and MRI indicator of Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) insufficiency. We explored the diagnostic and therapeutic options in such cases by retrospectively analyzing the management of a series of five consecutive cases of iatrogenic floppy ACL reconstructions which resulted in fixed posterior drawer. All patients were young athletes. Because their ACL rehabilitation program was failing they sought for a new medical expertise. In all cases arthroscopic PCL reconstruction was performed and the acquired injuries after the initial ACL reconstruction were treated. All patients regained full range of motion and stable knees. Confusion between a PCL and an ACL injury still seems to be high. If not addressed accordingly, the fixed posterior drawer may lead to irreversible damage of the knee joint.
THE DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS OF A GOSSYPIBOMA: A CASE REPORT

Published: March 2021

Gossypiboma” – retained foreign object (more frequently a surgical sponge) – is a rare complication of a surgical intervention, usually during an emergency or a time-consuming procedure. The clinical features include nonspecific general and digestive symptoms. Due to the surrounding inflammatory reaction, it leads to the formation of tumoral masses or fistulas, making the differential diagnosis even more difficult. We present the case of a 60-year-old woman with a history of diabetes, arterial hypertension and multiple surgical procedures of the upper abdomen, who was admitted for altered general state and a pain in the right upper and lower quadrant, where an abdominal mass that covered the skin and the right costal margin was found, mild fever and anemia. The MRI raises the suspicion of a sarcoma. The first surgical procedure (June 2014) uncovers a pus-filled collection which was drained resulting a fistula with a continuous secretion (the Pathology report suggested Actinomycosis). The patient received multiple antibiotics, without an improvement. In January 2015, a CT exam revealed a possible retained foreign object situated deeply in the hepatorenal recess. The patient had undergone surgery, through the peritoneal cavity, thus confirming the diagnosis, with the excision of the surgical sponge. The patient had a favorable postoperative course with the closure of the fistula. Even though the diagnosis of a retained foreign object may prove difficult, it needs to be taken into consideration for the differential diagnosis of any postoperative case presenting an abdominal mass, with inflammatory reaction and chronic post-excisional fistula.

Cerebral vascular malformations are hamartomas, classified into four distinct groups:arteriovenous malformations, cavernous malformations, capillary telangiectasias, anddevelopmental venous anomalies. These abnormal vascular entities have distinct histopathological, radiological, and clinical features, which make them different from one another. We report a case of a 37-year-old man, who presented with headaches, generalized grand mal seizures, and an episode of loss of consciousness, due to a left temporal cavernoma. Gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted MR images showed a left temporal “popcorn-like” lesion, with heterogeneousenhancement, measuring 15/17/18 mm, suggestive of a cavernoma (angiographically occultmalformation). The T2-weighted MRI showed a right cerebellar venous plexus, draining into alarger central vein and the angiogram revealed the pathognomonic caput medusae aspect of avenous angioma. Microsurgical resection of the left temporal cavernous malformation wasperformed using a left frontal temporal approach. The venous angioma was spared to avoid venousinfarction and cerebral edema with devastating vital consequences. The intra- and postoperativecourses were uneventful with total recovery. The seizures remitted under anticonvulsant therapy,and the postoperative computer tomography investigation were within normal limits. The venous angioma was situated in the right cerebellar hemisphere, rather than near the cavernoma, its location making this the particular aspect of this case.
