Published: June 2020

Background: The correlation between postoperative deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and inflammation in patients with permanent cardiac pacemaker implantation was analyzed. Methods: A total of 130 cases undergoing permanent pacemaker implantation in the 305 Hospital of Chinese PLA and Fuwai Hospital from May 2014 to February 2017 were selected. Of the 130 cases, 60 patients complicated with DVT were selected as the observation group, and the remaining 70 cases without complications of DVT were selected as the control group. The relationship and influence of various factors were explored. Results: The number of patients smoking and the number of subjects with DVT history in the observation group were higher than those in the control group. In the observation group, plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI)-1: Ag, PAI-1: Ac, thrombin-activated fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI): Ag, and TAFI: Ac levels were higher than those in control group (P<0.05). The levels of inflammatory factors of the peripheral blood of the observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group (P<0.05). In the correlation analysis of serum inflammatory factors and coagulation factors, CRP, IL-6, IL-10 were positively correlated with PAI-1: Ag level. Age, BMI, smoking history, number of implanted electrodes, DVT history, duration of immobilization and inflammatory factor levels had independent predictive value on postoperative complicated DVT. Conclusion: The serum inflammatory factors are closely associated with postoperative DVT in patients implanted with permanent cardiac pacemaker, and the serum inflammatory factors are a good reference for the evaluation of DVT.

Authors: QIU Chunyan , ZHANG Yue , CHEN Longhua
Published: June 2020

Background: Risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) is defined by genetic predisposition and environmental factors that often co-occur and interact, resulting in diversiform biological reactions. The present study attempted to investigate transcriptome alteration and adaptation associated with CRC progression. Methods: The study consisted of patients who presented at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, Guangzhou, China with a colonic neoplasm in 1992-2004. Microarray GSE41258 of the study was acquired from Gene Expression Omnibus and 253 included microarrays were categorized by groups of normal colon, early primary tumor, lymph node metastases primary tumor, advanced primary tumor and distant metastases. Short Time-series Expression Miner (STEM) was applied to discover tumor grade-dependent gene expression patterns. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses were carried out to explore functional enrichment of differential expression genes (DEGs). Results: Overall, 2870 significant DEGs were screened out on all groups. Six significant grade-dependent gene expression patterns were statistically significant. DEGs in all significant patterns were mainly assembled in GO terms of metastases and deterioration of tumor, epithelial proteins and cytokines, and protein binding and bridging. DEGs in profile 0 down-regulated with higher tumor grade, prominently enriched in KEGG pathways of metabolism. Conclusion: Besides many well-known colorectal cancer-related pathways, DEGs of profiles especially those down-regulated with CRC progression, clustered in various metabolic pathways including starch and sucrose metabolism, fatty acid metabolism, nitrogen metabolism, as well as xenobiotics biotransformation that link to tumorigenesis, demonstrating the impairment of physiological metabolic pathways in the context of tumor progression. These results gave a high potential for therapeutic strategies.

Published: June 2020

Background: As a result of the road traffic accidents 1.25 mln. of working-age people die each year on the roads. Frequency of the RTA is 11 times higher in our country than in Europe, that influence on demographic and economic situation in the republic. Creation of the math modeling and prediction of traffic mortality rate in Kazakhstan will allow to develop measure on its decrease. Methods: Short-term dotted prediction of population mortality level of Kazakhstan was used, in particular – methods of regressive analysis. General prognosis throughout the country up to 2021 was made on the basis of data for 1999-2018. The more relevant method for prediction is exponential function taking into account the features of mortality rate level trend. Results: Prediction of traffic fatalities without division into the age-related groups for 2019 is 2132±181 case with a probability 2/3. Expected levels for 2020-2027 cases, for 2021-1927 cases. Annual mortality decrease rate according to the 0-19 age-related at an average is 6.4% among men and 5.8% among women, according to age group as a whole – by 6.2%; from 20 up to 64 age related group – 5.1 % on all population category; older 65 age –group is by 2.2 %, 3.7 % among men, 2.9% among women as a whole. Conclusion: In the foreseeable future the number of traffic deaths in Kazakhstan will tend to decrease at a slower pace. Mortality rates due to road traffic accidents among working-age men will be 3 times higher than women in this age group.

Authors: BAGHERI Mehdi , FAZLI Mozhgan , SAEEDNIA Sara , GHOLAMI KHARANAGH Majid , AHMADIANKIA Naghmeh
Published: June 2020

Background: We aimed to assess the effect of sulforaphane (SFN) on breast cancer cell migration and also its effect on the expression of epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers and β-catenin. Methods: This study was performed in Shahroud University of Medical Sciences, Shahroud, Iran from 2017- 2018. In this experimental study, MDA-MB-231 cells were treated with different concentrations of SFN (5, 10, 20, 30 and 40 μM) at different time points of 24, 48, and 72 h. The control group was untreated cells. The inhibitory effects of different concentrations of SFN on cell migration at different time points were evaluated using scratch assay. Moreover, apoptosis was assessed by using flow cytometric analysis. The expression of βcatenin and EMT markers of ZEB1, fibronectin, and claudin-1 were determined by real-time PCR. Western blotting analysis of β-catenin was applied to determine its changes after SFN treatment. Results: SFN markedly inhibited the migration of cells at concentrations of 10, 20, 30, and 40µM after 24, 48, and 72 h. At relatively, high concentrations (30, 40µM), SFN induced apoptosis. Moreover, SFN reduced the gene expression of ZEB1, fibronectin, and claudin-1 after 72 h. The expression of β-catenin revealed a timedependent decrease at the concentration of 40 µM SFN. Conclusion: Downregulation of EMT markers and β-catenin showed accordance with the inhibition of migration. SFN could be a promising drug candidate to reduce metastasis in breast cancer.

Published: June 2020

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the health status of Iranians following the sustainable development goals (SDGs) introduction and to compare with those of the Middle East and North Africa region (MENA) and global. Methods: This comparative study used secondary data analysis to investigate socio-demographic and health status indicator. The sources included census, population-based surveys and death registries. The indicators in MENA were obtained from international databases including WHO, the World Bank and the Institute for Health Assessment and Evaluation (IHME). Results: Life expectancy and human development index increased following the HTP implementation. Among causes of death, 74.6% were attributed to non-communicable diseases (NCDs). There was an increasing trend in risk factors for NCDs in Iran, while at the same time Neonatal, infant and under-5 mortality rates reduced. Compared to the MENA, Iran has a lower maternal mortality ratio, neonatal, infant, and under-5 mortality rates, and a higher life expectancy. NCDs and road injuries accounted for a larger portion of disability-adjusted life years in Iran compared to the MENA and worldwide. Conclusion: Actions against communicable diseases and road traffic injuries are required together with continued efforts to address NCDs. Although Iran does not have a low global SDGs Index ranking, there is a need to develop a roadmap to accelerate achieving global health goals and SDGs implementation.

Background: Identification of liver flukes, Fasciola hepatica, and Fasciola gigantica by morphometric parameters is not always reliable due to the overlapping measurements. This study aimed to characterize the liver flukes of animals from different parts of Iran by the genetic markers, ITS1, and COXI. Methods: We collected flukes from infected livestock in six provinces of Iran from Sep to Nov 2016. The flukes were identified by amplification of a 680 bp sequence of ITS1 locus followed by a restriction fragment polymorphism (RFLP) assay. The genetic diversity among isolates was evaluated by amplification and sequencing of a 493 bp fragment of the COXI gene. Results: We obtained 38 specimens from Khuzestan, 22 from Tehran, 10 from Isfahan, 10 from Mazandaran, 4 from Kurdistan, and 3 from Ardabil provinces. PCR-RFLP analysis revealed two patterns, representing F. hepatica, and F. gigantica. Fifty specimens from cattle and sheep exhibited F. hepatica pattern and 37 from the cattle, sheep, buffalo, and goat that of F. gigantica. The phylogeny based on COXI revealed two distinct clades separating F. hepatica from F. gigantica. In our phylogeny, the Iranian F. gigantica isolates showed a distinct separation from the African flukes, while grouped with the East Asia specimens demonstrating a common ancestor. The F. hepatica isolates clustered with the flukes from different parts of the world, including East Asia, Europe, and South America. Conclusion: The present study revealed a substantial genetic difference between F. gigantica populations of Asia and Africa, while F. hepatica isolates from different parts of the world shared high similarities.

Published: June 2020

Background: In 2013, WHO estimated the annual diarrheal mortality rate among children less than five years in Egypt was 24 deaths per 100.000, 2% was due to rotavirus infection. Methods: Eight water samples were collected monthly from the Nile water stream passing through Giza over 12 months during June 2016 to May 2017. Totally, ninety-six water samples were collected and concentrated for the detection of rotavirus group A (RV-A) using RT-PCR. Multiplex semi-nested RT-PCR was performed to identify the genotypes P and G of RV-A. Results: The detection rate of RV-A was 18.75% (18/96), whereas the rate of rotavirus genotypes G and P were 61% (11/18) and 50% (9/18), respectively. Rotaviruses G1P[8] and G1P[4] were the most common genotypes identified in our survey. In addition, the seasonal distribution findings demonstrated that the highest detection rate was 37.5% in the winter season, followed by 20.8%, 12.5% and 4% in spring, autumn and summer, respectively. Conclusion: Multiplex semi-nested RT-PCR is a useful method for rapid detection and genotyping of RV-A in surface water samples.

Authors: Bozorgmanesh Mohammadreza , Siavashi Babak , Zehtab Mohammad Javad , Pendar Ehsan , Fallah Yousef , Abbaszadeh Farid , Golbakhsh Mohammadreza
Published: June 2020

Background: This study was conducted to develop a modified, parsimonious, faster to produce, easier to implement, and patient-specific drill guide template and also to examine if such a modification might affect the accuracy.
Methods: On two cadaveric spines, using reverse engineering, the orientation of pedicles and safe corridors for pedicle screw were determined. A drill template was designed with a surface that was the inverse of the posterior vertebral surface. The drill template was manufactured using rapid prototyping technique. To decrease the costs, the cervical spine corresponding prototypes were not manufactured. In contrary to previous studies, to preserve the stability from posterior element, the templates were designed in such a way that removing interspinous and supraspinous ligaments was not necessary. The accuracy was evaluated by computed tomography (CT) images and classified into three grades of 0: correct placement, 1: malposition by less than a half screw diameter, and 2: malposition by more than a half screw diameter.
Results: Of 20 positions available, we inserted 19 screws, because the trajectory of one of the patient-specific drill guide templates was misdirected. The overall accuracy rate for cervical pedicle screw (CPS) placement was 84.2% (16 of 19). Safely inserted screws, combining the grades 0 and 1 categories, were as high as 100%. We observed no “unsafe screw placement”.
Conclusions: The total cost and the latency period before the operation was reduced and the interspinous and supraspinous ligaments were preserved. A good applicability and high accuracy was obtained for subaxial CPS (SCPS) insertion.

A New Pattern of Distal Femoral Unicondylar Fracture in a Middle-Aged Man
Authors: Kalantar Hadi , Baghdadi Soroush , Dehghani-Firoozabadi Mohammadjavad , Panahi Saeed , Moslemi Sareh
Published: June 2020

Background: Distal femoral fractures are not common among all fractures and the incidence rises with age. While this kind of fracture is usually caused by low-energy trauma in the elderly, there are many known fracture patterns. We encountered a new pattern of fracture in a middle-aged man.
Case Presentation: A 56-year-old obese man presented to our hospital with direct trauma from a motor car accident. We encountered a bizarre pattern of distal femoral fracture, which was a biplanar unicondylar fracture in medial condyle of the femur through physeal remnant. This fracture was similar to the pattern of Salter-Harris type III fracture and unicondylar type of T-type simple articular epiphyseal fracture in Association for Osteosynthesis/Orthopaedic Trauma Association (AO/OTA) classification (type 43.C1.3). The fracture was fixed with two 7.3mm cannulated screws.
Conclusions: A direct trauma to the distal femur can result in different fracture patterns. In our case, a fracture through physeal remnant of distal femur has been occurred in a morbidly obese patient with radiographic signs of osteoarthritis (OA). We hypothesize that the conduction of axial and anterior to posterior forces through the weak epiphyseal line in a patient can cause a new pattern of fracture similar to AO/OTA type 43.C1.3.

Published: June 2020

Background: Acromion fractures are rare injuries that may occur because of shoulder trauma. This may be associated with distal clavicle fractures, which can be an indication for surgery. There are several methods, which are used for fixation of this type of fractures.
Case Presentation: In this paper, we presented a 34 years old man with acromion fracture in contribution with acromioclavicular (AC) joint dislocation. We applied a new method for fixation of this fracture. The fracture was fixed by 2 screws and AC Joint was fixed by a 4-hole hook plate.
Conclusions: It is important to be aware of acromial fracture to not miss them and also for early management, so that early recovery and satisfactory results can be gained
A Rare Tumor of the Trapezoid Bone in a Patient with Chronic Wrist Pain
Authors: Nejadhosseinian Mohammad , Farhoud Amir Reza , Dehghani Firoozabadi Mohammad Javad , Mortazavi Seyed Mohammad Javad
Published: June 2020

Background: Osteoid osteoma (OO) is a benign tumor that rarely occurs in carpal bones. Occurrence of OO in trapezoid is extremely rare. We present a patient with OO of the trapezoid as 7th reported case around the world.
Case Presentation: A 25-year-old man was referred to our clinic with a 12-month history of pain of his left wrist. He mentioned that he had wrist pain during manual activity and the pain was increasing over time. He did not have history of trauma. He was treated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) before being referred to our clinic; however, it did not work. Examination showed tenderness over the dorsoradial side of the left wrist. Conventional radiographs of the wrist were normal. Computed tomography (CT) demonstrated a halo radiolucent osteoid tissue surrounded by a sclerotic tissue in left trapezoid. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a focal hypointense lesion (nidus) in the trapezoid with 10 mm diameter. A focal increased uptake of 99mTc in his trapezoid was shown by bone scintigraphy. According to the clinical and imaging findings, we considered excisional biopsy with the diagnosis of OO of trapezoid bone. Surgery was performed through a dorsal incision. We performed en bloc excision. Histopathological findings confirmed the diagnosis of OO. The patient got pain-free on postoperative day 3.
Conclusions: Carpal bones tumor such as OO should be considered in differential diagnosis of patients with chronic wrist pain.

Inpatient prescribing of dual antiplatelet therapy according to the guidelines: a prospective intervention study
Authors: Moerlie Ashwin R. , Van Uden Renate C. , Mantel Aukje K. , Van den Bemt Patricia , Becker Matthijs L.
Published: June 2020

Background: In dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT), low-dose acetylsalicylic acid is combined with a P2Y12 inhibitor. However, combining antithrombotic agents increases the risk of bleeding. Guidelines on DAPT recommend using this combination for a limited period of between three weeks and 30 months. This implies the risk of DAPT being erroneously continued after the intended stop date.

Objective: The primary objective of this study is to assess the proportion of hospitalized patients treated with DAPT whose treatment deviated erroneously and unintentionally from the guidelines. We also assessed risk factors and the effect of a pharmacist intervention.

Methods: All patients admitted to the Spaarne Gasthuis (Haarlem/ Hoofddorp, the Netherlands) who used DAPT between March 25th, 2019, and June 14th, 2019, were, in addition to receiving regular care, reviewed to assess whether their therapy was in line with the guidelines’ recommendation and whether deviations were unintended and erroneous. In the event of an unintended deviation, the pharmacist intervened by contacting the prescriber by phone and giving advice to adjust the antithrombotic therapy in line with the guideline.

Results: We included 411 patients, of whom 21 patients (5.1%) had a treatment that deviated from the guidelines. For 11 patients (2.7%), the deviation was unintended and erroneous. The major risk factor for erroneous deviation was the use of  DAPT before hospital admission (OR 18.7; 95%CI 4.79–72.7). In patients who used DAPT before admission, 18 out of 58 (31.0%) had a deviation from the guidelines of whom 8 (13.8%) were erroneous. For these eight patients, the pharmacist contacted the prescriber, and in these cases the therapy was adjusted in line with the guidelines.

Conclusions: Adherence to the guidelines recommending DAPT was high within the hospital. However, patients who used DAPT before hospital admission had a higher risk of erroneous prescription of DAPT. Intervention by a pharmacist increased adherence to guidelines and may reduce the number of preventable bleeding cases.

Mathematical Techniques Employed in Planning a Construction Project: Case Study on the Construction of Retaining Walls
Authors: Marvin Merrick
Published: June 2020

The importance of planning and designing in construction projects is most apparent during the implementation of the respective activities; whereas the implications that normally arise from poorly controlled activities often result in overspending, delays, substandard products or complete failure of the project. There is the need for a comprehensive plan during the execution and control of construction activities; this is more so when the project is considered to be complicated by a variety of objectives. By employing mathematical techniques to the planning and designing of a project, it is theorized that this will enhance the administration of those matters influencing the project parameters of cost, time, quality and scope. The idea is applied to the study of a real project that involves the construction of retaining walls, so to justify the key steps in planning, moreover to integrate the parameters via mathematical techniques so to define the project baseline plan: inferential statistics applied in quality assurance, linear programming applied in the work breakdown structure, and decision theory applied in the networking/scheduling.
Exchange Rate Fluctuation and Tourism Sector Output in Nigeria
Authors: Ehigocho Peace Ogbeba , Izuchukwu Oji-Okoro , Abubakar Shehu Abba
Published: June 2020

It has been a major source of contention among economics scholars, that tourism is a major driver of socio-economic development in the world and serves as a major source of revenue across countries. Hence, this paper examines the effects of exchange rate fluctuation on tourism sector output in Nigeria for the period of 1995 to 2015, using the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM), granger causality test and co-integration approach to ascertain this relationship. Results revealed that exchange rate fluctuation indeed has a significantly negative effect on tourism sector output in Nigeria, and that an increased fluctuation reduces the contribution of the tourism sector to GDP. The granger Causality test result showed that there is a unidirectional causality and long run relationship between contribution of tourism sector to GDP and the contribution of the Tourism sector to employment, real effective exchange rate, and the international number of tourist arrival. Among various recommendations in the study is for the government of Nigeria to review existing economic policies that affect the exchange rate fluctuation, as these some of this policies may be responsible for the consistent increase in exchange rate fluctuation, as these could substantially reduce the number of tourist arrival and tourism sector output.
Od redaktorek. Sztuka w socjologii jakościowej bez rewolucji. Krótkie wprowadzenie
Authors: Rancew-Sikora Dorota
Published: June 2020

Niniejszy numer tematyczny skoncentrowany jest wokół dwóch pytań: po pierwsze, jakie miejsce zajmuje sztuka w jakościowych badaniach socjologicznych, a po drugie, jak za pomocą działań artystycznych i badawczych można zmierzyć się z problemem inności i obcości (także w relacji artystów i badaczy). Dotychczasowe doświadczenia wskazują, że najbliższe związki między nauką i sztuką realizowane są w ramach podejść krytycznych i zaangażowanych. Autorka wprowadzenia sugeruje, że kluczem do efektywnego zestawienia socjologii z działaniami artystycznymi w jednym projekcie badawczym jest rozdzielenie ich udziału na różne etapy lub poziomy badania: działania artystyczne najlepiej sprawdzałyby się na poziomie zaprojektowania i przeprowadzenia interwencji oraz zaangażowania uczestników i odbiorców dzieła, a zadaniem socjologów byłoby wspomaganie planowania i organizacji interwencji artystycznej, a następnie zbieranie materiałów dokumentujących jej przebieg, dokonanie ich analizy i interpretacji oraz ewaluacja projektu pod kątem jego wpływu na otoczenie społeczne i rozwój wiedzy o badanym aspekcie życia społecznego. Jest to stanowisko raczej umiarkowane niż radykalne, ale pozwalające zapewnić odrębność i specjalizację obu dziedzin wytwarzania wiedzy i uwzględniające ograniczenia i wymagania pochodzące z kontekstu społecznego. Elementy takiej strategii zastosowali autorzy i autorki artykułów zamieszczonych w tym tomie, koncentrując się na analizie dzieł i sytuacji ich tworzenia, pierwszy ruch pozostawiając artystom.
Following the Footprints of Edward S. Curtis: A Tale of the Vanishing Race
Authors: Kukiełko-Rogozińska Kalina
Published: June 2020

In 2007, Marie Clements, a Canadian playwright, was asked to prepare a play about the cultural history of Canada. She decided to write a play about Edward S. Curtis, the author of an epic series of photographic works titled The North American Indian, published between 1900 and 1930. Clements invited to the project Rita Leistner, a Canadian photographer, who was responsible for the graphic aspect of the play. Her task was to recreate the way taken by Curtis while immortalizing scenes from the life of the indigenous peoples. Both artists took a fascinating journey following the footsteps of Curtis documenting today’s presence of the First Nations in the United States and Canada. This article, based on the project of Clements and Leistner, discusses the ambiguity of the medium of photography, one which ‘recreates’the reality and at the same time allows the authors to‘create’ it. It presents three basic themes: the mission and work of Edward S. Curtis; the play titled The Edward Curtis Project: A Modern Picture Story by Marie Clements; and the photographs – prepared by Rita Leistner – which were used in play and then published in the book of the same title. The purpose of this text is to present the project of the Canadian authors in the context of visual sociology and anthropology, and to show the potential of photography as a means of building social discourse and creating a narrative of a specific community. It is founded on the assumption that the artistic project in question – based on (both passive and active) participation of the authors in the everyday life of the community presented in it – becomes a source of valuable research material, which can then be subjected to scientific interpretations.

The halal aspect is an important factor that must be considered by Muslims in choosing food. However, the low awareness and knowledge related to halal rules and thoyyib on food had caused various serious problems. To overcome this, several government regulations have been issued, but some people still find it difficult to understand the concept of halal products. In this regard, the Faculty of Pharmacy, Airlangga University through community service conducted socialization in two schools in Rungkut Surabaya district to increase community empowerment about halal lifestyle and the critical point of food prohibition at the young generation. The method used is an online pre-test to determine the initial understanding of the participants, education in the form of counseling and discussion, and evaluation of increased understanding through pre and post-test. As partners are students, teachers, and canteen managers in Madrasah Aliyah and Madrasah Tsanawiyah school grade. Based on the analysis conducted, the results show a strong correlation between halal certification, halal awareness, and halal composition. Socialization can increase the knowledge of students and employees in those schools about the halal lifestyle and the critical point of food prohibition. Halal certification on food products affects buying interest but halal awareness and knowledge about the composition of halal food is still low in its influence on buying interest
Honey application as a halal replacement material for fillet fish product in transportation
Authors: Sholahuddin Muhammad Athoillah
Published: June 2020

Fish is a food that is consumed by many people because fish contain high nutrition. Fillet products are diversification of fishery products that are quite popular with the community. That is because fillet products are easy to consume and have good nutritional content. However, fish fillet products are easily degraded during transportation. So that triggers traders to use hazardous materials in the form of formalin to increase the shelf life of fillet products. The shelf life of fish fillet products needs to be improved in order to obtain good quality and not be easily damaged by storing fillets at low temperatures and the addition of active ingredients in the form of honey. Honey also has antimicrobial properties so that it can be used as a food preservative. Honey can inhibit the growth of bacteria that cause decay. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of adding honey with different concentrations on the shelf life of white pomfret (Pampus argenteus) fillets at cold temperatures. This research was experimental by making honey solutions with different concentrations (0%: 10%; 11%). This research uses a completely randomized design (CRD). The shelf life test is done by calculating the value of TPC, Protein, pH, Tvbn, and organoleptic. TPC, Protein, pH, TVBN, and organoleptic test results showed that the addition of honey with different concentrations had a significant effect on the shelf life of white pomfret fish fillets. The best concentration of adding honey is at a concentration of 5%. While the shelf life that can be accepted by consumers can reach 6 days shelf life. The results showed that honey can be used as an alternative preservative in fish fillet meat that functions as an antimicrobial and fat oxidation prevention.

Published: June 2020

A method of singular stimulation based on principles of contrast, small-amplitude progressive rotation, continuous multidirectional stimulation, and supercompensation is proposed for treatment of obesity. The clinical, social, and economic efficiency of the methods of singular stimulation and aesthetic surgery in treatment of obesity has been estimated comparatively. It is shown that the efficiency of using the singular stimulation in shape modeling is higher compared to the aesthetic surgery. The social efficiency of the proposed method in treatment of obesity was 97.4%, while that of the aesthetic surgery is 33.0%. The economic expenses of patients for treatment of obesity by the method of aesthetic surgery are 5.4 times higher than those for treatment of the same pathology by the method of singular stimulation.
