Authors: Castro Cortés Samantha , Sánchez Gutiérrez Karla Itzel , Rodríguez Castro Renata Fernanda , Rodríguez Trujillo Néstor Daniel
Published: October 2024

Nocardiosis is a rare but potentially fatal opportunistic infection caused by Nocardia species, predominantly affecting immunocompromised individuals. This case report details the clinical course, diagnostic workup, and management of a 63-year-old female with a history of renal transplantation. Initial investigations, including imaging studies, revealed multiple cavitary pulmonary nodules and a solitary brain lesion, raising concerns for disseminated infection. The diagnostic challenge was compounded by the broad differential diagnosis in this patient population, including fungal, mycobacterial, and other opportunistic infections. Empirical antimicrobial therapy was initiated, and subsequent microbiological confirmation of Nocardia asteroides from bronchoalveolar lavage specimens established the diagnosis. Despite initial therapeutic response, the patient developed worsening neurological symptoms indicative of CNS involvement, necessitating prolonged treatment with a combination of trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and imipenem. This report underscores the importance of early recognition, comprehensive diagnostic evaluation, and individualized therapeutic approaches in managing suspected nocardiosis in immunocompromised patients. Furthermore, it discusses the diagnostic pitfalls, highlights the need for a high index of suspicion, and reviews current therapeutic recommendations for both pulmonary and disseminated nocardiosis, providing a valuable reference for clinicians managing similar cases.

Methods. Development of a three-band irradiation system that ensures the implementation of automatic tracking in both receiving ranges. Analysis of the characteristics of a three-band irradiation system that ensures the implementation of reception and automatic tracking in both receiving ranges. Results. Development of a three-band irradiation system that ensures the implementation of automatic tracking in both receiving ranges. Analysis of the characteristics of a three-band irradiation system that ensures the implementation of reception and automatic tracking in both receiving ranges. Conclusion. The irradiation system of the multi-band reflector antenna for mirrors with profiled surfaces is proposed, with the implementation of combined signal reception in the C(Rx) and K(Rx) frequency ranges with a 21 % band and signal transmission in the C(Tx) frequency range with a 16% band, and the formation of partial RPs in both receiving ranges for the implementation of a monopulse angular tracking system. The following characteristics of the irradiation system are implemented: cross-polarization isolation of more than 30 dB, the formation of identical partial RPs and a stable tracking mode based on signals from onboard repeaters in communication systems with frequency reuse.
Epilepsy in Loeys-Dietz Syndrome: The Rare Concurrence of a Connective Tissue and Neuronal Migration Disorder
Authors: Mir Fatima Farid , Ashraf Mohammad
Published: October 2024

We present a 7-year-old girl who presented to our emergency department in active status epilepticus. Seizures responded to standard antiepileptic medications; however, baseline work-up for seizure etiology remained unremarkable. Her new-onset seizures were further investigated via EEG and MRI brain, which revealed focal epileptiform discharges and periventricular nodular heterotopia, respectively. Concurrently, the clinical evaluation revealed extensive marfanoid features, and a personal history of eczema and asthma. Her family history was pertinent for aortic valve disease, asthma, and tall stature. Given the peculiar skeletal features, allergic propensities and coexistent weighty family history, a molecular genetic panel analysis for Marfan Syndrome and Loeys-Dietz Syndrome (LDS) were sought. Genetic testing revealed an underlying heterozygous variant in the TGFBR-1 gene; thereby confirming the presence of LDS. The child had responded well to single antiepileptic agent therapy and was discharged in good condition with regular outpatient cardiac and neurology follow-up. This is a unique case reported of a child with genetically diagnosed LDS concurring with an underlying neuronal migration disorder, manifesting in an acute, severe, and lifethreatening fashion.
Immune Thrombocytopenia Following Dengue Fever
Authors: Nandi Madhumita , Gupta Nikhil
Published: October 2024

Introduction: Dengue is an endemic mosquito-borne infection in tropical countries. The manifestations vary from asymptomatic infection to classic dengue fever, to more critical forms like dengue hemorrhagic fever and dengue shock syndrome. The critical phase occurs typically within the timeline of 4-7 days from the onset of symptoms.
Case Report: We, hereby, report the case of a 7-year-old girl child who initially recovered from classic dengue fever. However, she was readmitted 18 days after the onset of initial symptoms with major bleeding manifestations due to immune thrombocytopenia responding to intravenous immunoglobulin.
Discussion: Dengue fever may be associated with mild to moderate thrombocytopenia in the febrile phase and moderate to severe thrombocytopenia in the critical phase. Here, the index case developed thrombocytopenia much after the expected critical phase was over.
Conclusion: Awareness of this possibility and continued monitoring, even after apparent recovery from dengue, is important for detecting and managing late-onset thrombocytopenia.

Authors: Salih Sabir Salah A. , Abdalkafi Babiker A. , Bizzari Rikaz A. A. , House Abdulrahiman Ch. , Al Bana Mohammad Abdullatif , Howidi Nourhan Roshdi , Manaf Sadaf Binu
Published: October 2024

Background: Respiratory viral infections strain healthcare globally, accounting for 15% of encounters in the UAE. However, seasonal prevalence in the region remains unclear. This hospitalbased study aims to understand viral causes of upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs) in children under 13, focusing on influenza and RSV.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective chart review at Hatta Hospital in Dubai, collecting data from pediatric patients under 13 years old with URTI diagnoses from 2022 to 2023. Nasopharyngeal aspirate samples were analyzed using a multiplex chain reaction (mPCR) assay to identify viral pathogens. Data were collected from the hospital’s emergency department, walk-in clinic, and admitted patients.
Results: During the study period, 2714 samples were analyzed, with 1870 (69%) testing positive for any respiratory pathogen. Most infected individuals were males (56.7%), aged between 1 and 3 years (37.9%). Single viral infections were predominant (85.3%), with 27.3% attributed to Human Enterovirus/Rhinovirus, 26.6% to Influenza A, and 10.2% to respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). The RSV season was observed to span from August to December, peaking in October, while Influenza A had semi-seasonal peaks in June and October. Hospital admissions varied significantly between single (21%) and multiple viral infections (27%). Of 340 children hospitalized with single viral infections, 28.2% were infected with Human Enterovirus/Rhinovirus, 16.7% with RSV, and 13.5% with Influenza A.
Conclusion: The study provides insights into viral epidemiology among children in the UAE, highlighting the high prevalence and seasonal peaks of viral pathogens. Awareness of these trends can reduce unnecessary streptococcal testing and antibiotic overuse. Understanding the seasonal patterns aids in optimizing prophylactic measures and vaccination strategies for RSV and influenza, benefiting high-risk infants and children.

Pain perception in Goldfish (Carassius auratus)
Authors: Qiu Jiajun
Published: October 2024

This paper proposes two hypothetical experiments that explore evidence of pain perception of goldfish (Carassius auratus). Early anatomical studies find the presence of nociceptors in fish, evidence of the capacity to suffer. A 2003 study of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) provides evidence of pain perception in the particular species. Now, it is known that members of Infraclass Teleostei can sense pain, but not as much is known about pet goldfish in homes. In an endeavour to determine whether goldfish can perceive pain, this paper proposes two hypothetical experiments. The findings of the following experiments will provide insights into the evolution of pain perception in vertebrates, awareness and intelligence in goldfish, and motivation behind goldfish behaviour.

Authors: Kobojek Elżbieta
Published: October 2024

Ważnym elementem rzeźby nizinnej części Polski są wydmy śródlądowe. Cechy wyróżniające ekosystem wydmowy, do których należą: wybitna jednorodność materiału (piaski drobnoziarniste i średnioziarniste), skład mineralny zdominowany przez kwarc, przepuszczalność i suchość podłoża, bardzo słabe gleby, ubóstwo składników pokarmowych dla roślin, mają duży wpływ na sposób jego użytkowania. Obecnie w środkowej Polsce wydmy są głównie zalesione. W obrębie gminy Uniejów najwięcej wydm śródlądowych występuje w dolinie Warty. W artykule przedstawiono rozmieszczenie i genezę wydm, cechy ekosystemu, formy współczesnego użytkowania oraz jego zmiany w ciągu ostatnich stu lat. Szczególną uwagę zwrócono na rolę wydm w lokalizacji zabudowy wiejskiej w dolinie Warty. Suche, piaszczyste obszary wydmowe pozostające poza zasięgiem wód powodziowych wielokorytowego systemu Warty bardziej sprzyjały zabudowie niż okresowo zalewane fragmenty dna doliny. Zasięg zabudowy wiejskiej, zwartej i rozproszonej, prawie nie uległ zmianie w ciągu ostatnich stu lat.

Taking Stock of Research about Initial English Language Teacher Education in Colombia
Authors: Castañeda Trujillo Jairo Enrique
Published: October 2024

This article presents a literature review based on research related to pre-service English language teachers (PELT) in Colombia that have been published in specialized Colombian journals during 2010-2020. The result was a corpus of 41 articles, of which I analyzed who wrote them, the research design used in each one, and the main topics covered in the research or pedagogical experiences. The results show a growing interest in research on PELTs from different epistemologies and research areas. Furthermore, researchers are increasingly conducting their research from narrative research under a critical or decolonial position. Finally, although many of the central themes revolve around teachers’ linguistic competencies and abilities in training, other issues have increased in recent years, such as teacher identity from different angles, critical pedagogies, and reflection of teaching processes.

Mental health is a severe illness in pandemic times. During this pandemic, people were worriedabout money, food, general health, and their jobs, but no one was worried about people who sufferedfrom some mental disorder. Some people see mental health as a joke, and they do not give it therelevance it deserves.

AbstractThis article presents a reflection and a potential applicative proposal about Problem-Based Learning (PBL), in order to change the perspective that students and teachers of public schools and technological adult institutions have about the learning of English in Tunja. This proposal intends to raise awareness about the language learning process, which may not only be the acquisition of rules and grammar structures but also a means to develop critical thinking skills in the students. This process will be developed through six stages, in which students will be invited to reflect and question their learning processes. Problembased learning may help us to change the wrong perception that our students and EFL teachers have regarding the value of learning and using the English language.Key words: problem-based learning, critical thinking, Language learning, Problematic situations, Teaching practices, Public InstitutionsResumenEste artículo presenta una reflexión y una posible propuesta de aplicación sobre el aprendizaje basado en la solución de problemas, con la cual se espera cambiar la perspectiva que los estudiantes y profesores de colegios de instituciones públicas tecnológicas para adultos de la ciudad de Tunja tienen sobre el aprendizaje del idiomainglés. Esta propuesta busca que el aprendizaje de una lengua extranjera no se oriente solamente a la adquisición de reglasy estructuras gramaticales, sino que también sea un medio para desarrollar habilidades de pensamiento crítico en los estudiantes.Este proceso se realizará a través de seis etapas en las cuales se invitará a los aprendices a que reflexionen e indaguen sobre sus procesos de aprendizaje. El aprendizaje basado en problemas nos podría  ayudar a cambiar la percepción errónea que nuestros estudiantes y profesores de lengua extranjera tienen respecto a la utilidad del aprendizaje y el uso de la lengua inglesa.Palabras clave: aprendizaje basado en la Solución de Problemas, Pensamiento Crítico, Aprendizaje de una lengua, Situacionesproblemáticas, Prácticas de enseñanza, Instituciones Publicas
