Approach in Management of Aplasia Cutis Congenita in a Newborn with Adam Oliver Syndrome
Authors: El Kadry Ihab H. , Koratum Tarek , Obaid Laila
Published: May 2020

Introduction:

Aplasia Cutis Congenita (ACC) is a rare congenital disorder characterized by the absence of skin and adjacent tissue that usually affect the scalp.
A large scalp defect in ACC with adjacent tissue anomalies is associated with high morbidity and mortality. The management of these lesions can
be challenging. The treatment can be either conservative, surgical, or combined.

Case:

A full-term newborn girl delivered with a huge scalp defect. The dura mater was exposed but intact and there was no Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF)
leakage. She also had bilateral talipes equinovarus and terminal reduction of multiple toes in the left foot. Genetic testing was positive for Adam
Oliver Syndrome. Conservative medical management was initiated at birth and continued until discharge at 4 weeks of age. The patient had a
regular follow-up with plastic surgery and neurosurgery teams. At 11 months old, the defect became smaller, hairless with good granulation tissue,
but still soft and compressible.

Conclusion:

Large scalp midline ACC is a rare, but potentially devastating disease when involved adjacent tissue. The choice of treatment is not
straightforward and it is mainly based upon the size, depth, and the risk of pre and post-treatment complications. Conservative management still is
an option with very complex ACC.
Cross-Interplay between Osmolytes and mTOR in Alzheimer's Disease Pathogenesis
Authors: Mueed Zeba , Mehta Devanshu , Rai Pankaj K. , Kamal Mohammad A. , Poddar Nitesh K.
Published: May 2020

Alzheimer’s disease, categorized by the piling of amyloid-β (Aβ), hyperphosphorylated tau, PHFs,
NFTs and mTOR hyperactivity, is a neurodegenerative disorder, affecting people across the globe. Osmolytes are
known for osmoprotectants and play a pivotal role in protein folding, function and protein stability, thus, preventing
proteins aggregation, and counteracting effects of denaturing solutes on proteins. Osmolytes (viz., sorbitol,
inositol, and betaine) perform a pivotal function of maintaining homeostasis during hyperosmotic stress. The
selective advantage of utilising osmolytes over inorganic ions by cells is in maintaining cell volume without compromising
cell function, which is important for organs such as the brain. Osmolytes have been documented not
only as neuroprotectors but they also seem to act as neurodegenerators. Betaine, sucrose and trehalose supplementation
has been seen to induce autophagy thereby inhibiting the accumulation of Aβ. In contrast, sucrose has
also been associated with mTOR hyperactivity, a hallmark of AD pathology. The neuroprotective action of
taurine is revealed when taurine supplementation is seen to inhibit neural damage, apoptosis and oxidative damage.
Inositol stereoisomers (viz., scyllo-inositol and myo-inositol) have also been seen to inhibit Aβ production
and plaque formation in the brain, inhibiting AD pathogenesis. However, TMAO affects the aging process adversely
by deregulating the mTOR signalling pathway and then kindling cognitive dysfunction via degradation of
chemical synapses and synaptic plasticity. Thus, it can be concluded that osmolytes may act as a probable therapeutic
approach for neurodevelopmental disorders. Here, we have reviewed and focussed upon the impact of
osmolytes on mTOR signalling pathway and thereby its role in AD pathogenesis.
RecQ Family Helicases in Replication Fork Remodeling and Repair: Opening New Avenues towards the Identification of Potential Targets for Cancer Chemotherapy
Authors: Jain Chetan K. , Mukhopadhyay Swagata , Ganguly Agneyo
Published: May 2020

Replication fork reversal and restart has gained immense interest as a central response mechanism to replication stress following DNA damage. Although the exact mechanism of fork reversal has not been elucidated precisely, the involvement of diverse pathways and different factors has been demonstrated, which are central to this phenomenon. RecQ helicases known for their vital role in DNA repair and maintaining genome stability has recently been implicated in the restart of regressed replication forks. Through interaction with vital proteins like Poly (ADP) ribose polymerase 1 (PARP1), these helicases participate in the replication fork reversal and restart phenomenon. Most therapeutic agents used for cancer chemotherapy act by causing DNA damage in replicating cells and subsequent cell death. These DNA damages can be repaired by mechanisms involving fork reversal as the key phenomenon eventually reducing the efficacy of the therapeutic agent. Hence the factors contributing to this repair process can be good selective targets for developing more efficient chemotherapeutic agents. In this review, we have discussed in detail the role of various proteins in replication fork reversal and restart with special emphasis on RecQ helicases. Involvement of other proteins like PARP1, recombinase rad51, SWI/SNF complex has also been discussed. Since RecQ helicases play a central role in the DNA damage response following chemotherapeutic treatment, we propose that targeting these helicases can emerge as an alternative to available intervention strategies. We have also summarized the current research status of available RecQ inhibitors and siRNA based therapeutic approaches that targets RecQ helicases. In summary, our review gives an overview of the DNA damage responses involving replication fork reversal and provides new directions for the development of more efficient and sustainable chemotherapeutic approaches.
Managing Cardiovascular Risk Factors without Medications: What is the Evidence?
Authors: Saha Sibu P. , Banks Melissa A. , Whayne Thomas F.
Published: May 2020

:

In this era of potent medications and interventional cardiovascular (CV) procedures, the
importance of beginning with and including Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes (TLC) is frequently forgotten.
A major goal of this review article is to show and emphasize that modification of CV risk
with nonmedication approaches makes an essential contribution to CV risk reduction.

:

Available information on TLC and modifiable CV risk factors was reviewed and assessed. Modifiable
major CV risk factors include diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, tobacco abuse,
obesity, stress, and a sedentary lifestyle. Age as a major CV risk factor is, of course, not susceptible
to modification.

:

A contribution to the control of CV risk factors can occur without the start of medications and there
is proof of benefit for beginning with a non-pharmacological approach. TLC can benefit all of the
major modifiable CV risk factors and there is good evidence for the additional benefit of supervised
and group TLC. TLC includes physical activity, diet, and smoking cessation.

:

Evidence for the benefits of TLC in reducing CV disease events is well established. However, medications
must be added in those patients with higher CV risk to obtain maximum cholesterol reduction
(lower is better for the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol) and good blood pressure control.

:

• The benefit of TLC is frequently forgotten in this era of potent medications and invasive procedures.
The benefits of diet and physical activity are emphasized with supporting data. Many motivated
patients can prolong their lives significantly by dedication to TLC.

:

• Therapeutic Lifestyle Change (TLC) especially encompasses increased physical activity, a
healthy diet, and smoking cessation.

:

• There is extensive proof for the benefit of TLC in contributing to cardiovascular (CV) disease
prevention.

:

• CV diseases have strong metabolic and inflammatory components, both of which can be improved
by TLC.
Microwave-assisted Synthesis of Benzoxazoles Derivatives
Authors: Özil Musa , Menteşe Emre
Published: May 2020

Background:

Benzoxazole, containing a 1,3-oxazole system fused with a benzene ring, has
a profound effect on medicinal chemistry research owing to its important pharmacological activities.
On the other hand, the benzoxazole derivative has exhibited important properties in material science.
Especially in recent years, microwave-assisted synthesis is a technique that can be used to increase
diversity and quick research in modern chemistry. The utilization of microwave irradiation is beneficial
for the synthesis of benzoxazole in recent years. In this focused review, we provide a metaanalysis
of studies on benzoxazole in different reaction conditions, catalysts, and starting materials by
microwave technique so far, which is different from conventional heating.

Methods:

Synthesis of different kind of benzoxazole derivatives have been carried out by microwave
irradiation. The most used method to obtain benzoxazoles is the condensation of 2-aminophenol or its
derivatives with aldehydes, carboxylic acids, nitriles, isocyanates, and aliphatic amines.

Results:

Benzoxazole system and its derivatives have exhibited a broad range of pharmacological
properties. Thus, many scientists have remarked on the importance of the synthesis of different benzoxazole
derivatives. Conventional heating is a relatively inefficient and slow method to convey energy
in orientation to the reaction medium. However, the microwave-assisted heating technique is a
more effective interior heating by straight coupling of microwave energy with the molecules.

Conclusion:

In this review, different studies were presented on the recent details accessible in the microwave-
assisted techniques on the synthesis of the benzoxazole ring. It presents all examples of such
compounds that have been reported from 1996 to the present. Benzoxazoles showed an extensive class
of chemical substances not only in pharmaceutical chemistry but also in dyestuff, polymer industries,
agrochemical, and optical brighteners. Thus the development of fast and efficient achievement of benzoxazoles
with a diversity of substituents in high yield is getting more noteworthy. As shown in this
review, microwave-assisted synthesis of benzoxazoles is a very effective and useful technique.
A Comprehensive Review on Alginate as Wound Dressing Biomaterial
Authors: Mohanto Sourav , Chakraborty Prithviraj , SoundraPandian Chidambaram , Manna Shubhradeep , Dutta Joni
Published: May 2020

Background:

The design and characteristics of alginate biomaterial have a significant role
in wound dressing and tissue regeneration. The ideal biomaterial for wound dressing must be biodegradable,
biocompatible, non-inflammatory, and non-toxic.

Objective:

Wound dressing should promote the re-epithelization process and protect the wound from
further infection by creating a moist environment. The physical and mechanical nature of the alginate
biopolymer has the potential to influence the pathophysiological mechanisms in the chronic wound.
The application of this biomaterial provides ample advantages than synthetic polymers.

Methods:

The wound healing process is a critical step involved in different phases. The presence of
cross-linkers, various drugs along with alginate leads to a decrease in the mechanical property of
dressing. Hence the choice of an effective material for dressing along with alginate is a very critical
decision. The therapeutic efficacy of the alginate dressing system (film, hydrogel, wafer, etc.) is influenced
by the incorporation of different materials such as bioactive agents, nanoparticles, crosslinkers,
nature of the excipients, etc.

Results:

The ion exchange occurring between dressing and exudates results in the formation of a gel,
due to the presence of glucuronic acid in alginate. This gel absorbs moisture and maintains an appropriate
moist environment and actively influences the pathophysiological mechanisms of the chronic
wound.

Conclusion:

This review provides detailed knowledge to researchers to work with alginate and also
knowledge about the incorporation of an appropriate material and its therapeutic efficacy in wound
dressing.

Authors: Steinrund Marie
Published: May 2020

Studies have shown that the nobility and the up and coming bourgeois elite acted somewhat differently when manifesting power and status. This article presents a case study research of owners of ironworks in the parish of Ramnäs, situated about 150 kilometers north west of Stockholm, to examine the way in which they manifested their power and status. The study will add to the debate on elites and material culture, but also to the question how elite groups were formed and reshaped during this period. The article will present two case studies on the interference of a nobleman and a member of the bourgeois elite with the renovation of the parish church and the (re)building of their own houses.

Published: May 2020

La harina integral de Cucurbita moschata posee un alto contenido de carotenoides totales que pueden contribuir a la pigmentación del tarso y la piel de pollos de engorde. El objetivo de la investigación fue evaluar el efecto de la sustitución de maíz en tres niveles por harina integral de zapallo (10 %, 12 % y 15 %) sobre el rendimiento productivo y la pigmentación de los pollos. Se utilizó un diseño experimental completamente al azar con cuatro tratamientos y cuatro repeticiones, cada una con 15 pollos de la línea Cobb 500 sin sexar. Se evaluaron las variables productivas de peso, ganancia de peso, consumo de alimento, consumo acumulado, conversión y pigmentación de piel y tarsos de los pollos con el uso del colorímetro Konica-Minolta CR-300. Los análisis de varianza de las variables consumo, consumo acumulado, ganancia de peso y peso acumulado presentaron diferencias estadísticas (p < 0,05) en las etapas primera y segunda entre los diferentes tratamientos. En la etapa de finalización, luego de 42 días, no se observaron diferencias significativas entre las variables estudiadas y se alcanzó un peso de 2 232,22 g a 2 384,00 g por pollo. Los resultados sobre la pigmentación de piel y tarsos muestran que la inclusión del 15 % de harina integral de zapallo generó diferencias significativas entre el tratamiento T0 y el tratamiento T2. Se concluye que la utilización de harina integral de zapallo en sus diferentes formulaciones logró resultados satisfactorios; sin embargo, el 15 % de esta harina resultó favorable sobre los rendimientos productivos y la pigmentación de los pollos.

Tablet-Based Telerehabilitation Versus Conventional Face-to-Face Rehabilitation After Cochlear Implantation: Prospective Intervention Pilot Study (Preprint)
Authors: Völter Christiane , Stöckmann Carolin , Schirmer Christiane , Dazert Stefan
Published: May 2020

BACKGROUND

Technologies allowing home-based rehabilitation may be a key means of saving financial resources while also facilitating people’s access to treatment. After cochlear implantation, auditory training is necessary for the brain to adapt to new auditory signals transmitted by the cochlear implant (CI). To date, auditory training is conducted in a face-to-face setting at a specialized center. However, because of the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on health care, the need for new therapeutic settings has intensified.

OBJECTIVE

The aims of this study are to assess the feasibility of a novel teletherapeutic auditory rehabilitation platform in adult CI recipients and compare the clinical outcomes and economic benefits of this platform with those derived from conventional face-to-face rehabilitation settings in a clinic.

METHODS

In total, 20 experienced adult CI users with a mean age of 59.4 (SD 16.3) years participated in the study. They completed 3 weeks of standard (face-to-face) therapy, followed by 3 weeks of computer-based auditory training (CBAT) at home. Participants were assessed at three intervals: before face-to-face therapy, after face-to-face therapy, and after CBAT. The primary outcomes were speech understanding in quiet and noisy conditions. The secondary outcomes were the usability of the CBAT system, the participants’ subjective rating of their own listening abilities, and the time required for completing face-to-face and CBAT sessions for CI users and therapists.

RESULTS

Greater benefits were observed after CBAT than after standard therapy in nearly all speech outcome measures. Significant improvements were found in sentence comprehension in noise (P=.004), speech tracking (P=.004) and phoneme differentiation (vowels: P=.001; consonants: P=.02) after CBAT. Only speech tracking improved significantly after conventional therapy (P=.007). The program’s usability was judged to be high: only 2 of 20 participants could not imagine using the program without support. The different features of the training platform were rated as high. Cost analysis showed a cost difference in favor of CBAT: therapists spent 120 minutes per week face-to-face and 30 minutes per week on computer-based sessions. For CI users, attending standard therapy required an average of approximately 78 (SD 58.6) minutes of travel time per appointment.

CONCLUSIONS

The proposed teletherapeutic approach for hearing rehabilitation enables good clinical outcomes while saving time for CI users and clinicians. The promising speech understanding results might be due to the high satisfaction of users with the CBAT program. Teletherapy might offer a cost-effective solution to address the lack of human resources in health care as well as the global challenge of current or future pandemics.

Judicial Committee of the Privy Council: The Persistence of a British Colonial Institution
Authors: Young, J. D. Harold
Published: May 2020

Following the British decolonization process, the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council (JCPC) continued as the final appellate court for many new states. Originally designed as a colonial court, the JCPC, therefore, continues to influence independent states. This testifies to the persistence of British colonial influence in the jurisprudence of former colonies. This research on the JCPC provides evidence colonial influences persist beyond the ceremonial and examines the Gambia and New Zealand as cases illustrating different paths to shedding this colonial institutional.

Published: May 2020

This article was reported as a research that involved Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Learning by using APOS theory framework to investigate Students’ Mathematical Understanding of sine rule and cosine rule concept. Sine rule and cosine rule concepts are taught to eleven-grade senior high school students in Indonesia. Students’ responses to five trigonometric problems involving sine rule and cosine rule were analyzed through this article. This study has confirmed that sine rule and cosine rule concept can be understood through STEM learning engagement because it has enabled students to obtain the appropriate mental structure at the action, process, object and schema levels. However, sustainable development needs to be done to improve mathematics learning that can build mental structures needed by students to understand mathematical concepts.

Problem and goal. One of the important components of the educational and methodical work of a teacher who teaches computer science to younger students is the quality control of the acquired system of knowledge of schoolchildren, which involves experimental pedagogical activity. Such experimental pedagogical activities include pedagogical experiments, the results of which are processed and analyzed using mathematical methods. Pedagogical measurements allow to justify the effectiveness of the implemented teaching methodology. Methodology. Pedagogical measurements are carried out in pedagogical research aimed at improving the content, methods, forms and means of teaching computer science to younger students using didactic games. The pedagogical experiment itself includes ascertaining, searching, forming and controlling stages. The analysis of the results of pedagogical measurements aimed at identifying the quality of the obtained knowledge in computer science of younger students can be effectively carried out using mathematical and statistical methods. Results. The conducted pedagogical measurements allow to draw a conclusion about how much younger students have subject knowledge in computer science, which is taught using didactic games; to identify the level of their worldview, logical thinking. Conclusion. Experimental pedagogical activity of the teacher in the process of teaching computer science to younger students allows to identify the effectiveness of such training, the level of subject knowledge of students. Analysis of the results of pedagogical measurements allows, if necessary, to correct the methodology and content of training in computer science.

L.N. Tolstoy's Principle of “Non-Resistance to Evil by Violence” in the Context of Russian Religious Philosophy of the Late XIX - Early XX Century
Authors: Evlampiev I. I. , Matveeva I. Yu.
Published: May 2020

The article discusses how the meaning of the principle of “non-resistance to evil by violence” was changing in L.N. Tolstoy's religious and philosophical teachings and how this principle was evaluated in Russian religious philosophy of the late XIX - early XX century. In the first version of Tolstoy’s teachings, set forth in the book “What is my faith?”, the principle of non-resistance was understood in a moral sense, as the norm for all people; its execution should lead to the perfection of earthly life. This idea of L. Tolstoy was sharply criticised by his contemporaries, who noted that there was no truly religious content in Tolstoy’s teachings, it was turning into a utilitarian doctrine of the earthly progress of mankind. Given this criticism, Tolstoy in his later works changed his understanding of the principle of non-resistance. Drawing a distinction between two levels of human life - “animal” and divine, Tolstoy recognised the principle of non-resistance to the law as the divine life of a man. As a result, the principle of non-resistance has acquired a religious rather than moral meaning, since the transition of a man to a divine life means a mystical transformation of his being. He is aware of his super-spatial and super-temporary unity with all people and with all being, and therefore can evaluate the consequences of his actions not only in the limited sphere of his life, but also in all infinite being. In this regard, a person realizes the absolute superiority of good deeds over evil, even if the latter are committed to confront evil. It is shown that some critics of Tolstoy came to a similar understanding of the religious meaning of the principle of non-resistance at the end of their lives (N.A. Berdyaev, L.P. Karsavin).
Ontology of Semantics in Information Technologies
Authors: Kolychev P. M.
Published: May 2020

The article analyzes ontological possibilities of the meaning of information setting. For this, a modern approach of information technologies is considered in relation to setting the meaning of textual information. At the same time, the problem of setting the meaning of number and the meaning of word (text) is formulated, which is discussed from the perspective of an ontological approach based on the solution of the problem of being, where the ontology of semantics is the result of such a solution. As the ontology itself, a relational ontology is chosen, the initial position of which is the thesis: “to be” means “to be distinctive”. Based on this, information is defined as the result of ontological distinction, which allows mathematical formalization through the operation of subtraction, which expresses the essence of ontological distinction. This in turn allows to build constantly a numerical order of the meanings of any information, including textual, while the meaning of the information is its place in such a numerical range. Such a method, called Relational method, leads to an exact numerical specification of the meaning of any information, and by dignity of this numerical form, the meanings of any information can be easily input into a computer with subsequent processing and operation of these senses.
From Dialogical Ontology to the Theory of Semiosphere: the Idea of the Dialogue of Cultures in the Philosophical Concepts of M. Buber and Yu. M. Lotman
Authors: Volkova Anastasia A.
Published: May 2020

Today, the dialogue is regarded as a basis for cultural being, while the dialogue of cultures has become a key notion in modern philosophical thinking. The concept of dialogue has been transformed over the past century, acquiring new meanings and changing its internal content from understanding it as an ordinary exchange of information to a complex creative interaction and mutual influence of different cultural and value consciousnesses. Not only different personalities, but entire ethnoses, cultures, and civilizations may become subjects of the dialogue, thus increasing the dialogue functionality up to the means of developing inter-cultural, inter-ethnic and inter-civilizational relations and accentuating commonality of the global historic process and cultural heritage of mankind. Appearing as a form of interpersonal relations in the ontology of M. Buber, who was one of the first to focus on the transition of relations from "subject-object" to "subject-subject", the concept of "dialogue" has become an important philosophical concept throughout the mid-XX century. Brand new turn of development of the theory of dialogue, and the entire human culture in General, was due to the concept of Semiosphere Yu.М. Lotman. The article deals with genesis of the philosophical concept of the dialogue between cultures in the 20th century. The focus is on its emergence - in the early 20th century - in M. Buber's theological concept and at the highest point of its development in Yu. M. Lotman’s semiotic philosophy.
Digital Society and Multi-Dimensional Man (Repositioning Marcuse’s One-Dimensional Man)
Authors: Chernyak A. Z. , Lemanto E.
Published: May 2020

One of the major concerns of the social philosophy is the technological revolution and its impacts on the social systems. Critical views on the systems from the social philosophers depart from the social predicaments of their time. The pivotal critic of Karl Marx in his work of Das Capital , for example, is on poverty caused by the system of capitalism. Capitalism, for him, only produces various social downturns such as slavery, oppressions, exploitations and impoverishment. Herbert Marcuse, meanwhile, pointed at the same problem, but he came from a different point of view from Marx. Marcuse criticized the abundant society. In One Dimensional Man Marcuse rendered a couple of incisive critics on the industrial society. Industrial society, for him, is marked by the abundance and surplus but this society is still oppressed under a new type of slavery, called voluntary slavery . We may briefly say that both philosophers rendered critics on the same matter of the industrial society, but the two stood on the different position. Marx’s critic was on the hungry and deficient society, while Marcuse on a satiated, plenteous and surplus society. The aim of this paper is to present of how Marcuse’s One-Dimensional Man ends in the digital age.
