Tratamiento quirúrgico de las várices
Authors:   , Pérez Águila Luis
Published: December 2024

El tratamiento de las várices data desde antiguo. Hipócrates recomendaba incisiones en las várices inflamadas; Celso prefería las cauterizaciones, Avicena ligaba y seccionaba el vaso cauterizándolo luego con un hierro calentado al rojo. Pero el estudio verdadero del tema se encuentra en un libro publicado por Ambrosio Paré en el año 1614. Luego en 1744 J. L. Petit, se refiere a las várices y su tratamiento. Por último, Briquet en su tesis del año 1822 realiza un estudio más acabado sobre el tema hasta esa época.
Ideas actuales sobre la protección hepática
Authors:   , Fernández Tomás Ángel
Published: December 2024

Como concepto fundamental, dirigimos nuestra atención sobre la protección de la unidad anatómica del hígado, el hepatocito, dándonos así un margen de seguridad en lo que concierne a su esencial funcionalismo y favoreciendo su gran capacidad de regeneración, cuando existen lesiones que tratan de destruir su integridad anatomo-funcional parcial o totalmente. Dentro de las hepatopatías, debemos considerar en especial las que nos ofrecen una insuficiencia funcional o aquellas en donde existen posibilidades de que ésta se presente, tratando entonces en lo posible de favorecer la reparación y regeneración de eventualidades a veces mortales a que se ve expuesto el enfermo. Los resultados de nuestra terapéutica los vamos jalonando con las distintas pruebas de diagnóstico funcional. Adelantando conceptos, salta a la vista que ocuparse de los medios dietéticos que cronológicamente han aparecido hasta las ideas actuales es suficiente motivo para explayarse, desde que representan nada menos que los medios terapéuticos que dispone el práctico para evitar las contingencias arriba expuestas. De los diversos elementos que disponemos para la protección hepática, haremos mención de los tres pilares de importancia fundamental: hidrocarbonados, proteínas y grasas, sin relegar de manera alguna un segundo plano las vitaminas.

Antiplatelet agents are the cornerstone of treatment
for patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS)
undergoing Percutaneous transluminal coronary
angioplasty (PTCA)
AIM: To study comprehensively by conducting an
observational comparative study between
clopidogrel and prasugrel in ACS patients with
scheduled Percutaneous transluminal coronary
angioplasty.
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to
compare the effectiveness of Prasugrel &
Clopidogrel in the patients with acute coronary
syndromes undergoing PCI by measuring bleeding
risk (major and minor) ischemic events and other
outcomes after loading and maintenance dose of
both the drugs. The patients were also assessed for
safety and efficacy.
METHODOLOGY: A cross-sectional study was
conducted which comprised of 120 participants
who are undergoing PTCA procedure with Acute
coronary syndrome patients were assessed for the
primary safety and efficacy endpoint that is major
bleeding events, ischemic events and in secondary
endpoint patients were observed for the incident
of nonfatal MI, nonfatal stroke, re hospitalization,
revascularization due to cardiac ischemic events at
days 30 and 90 during the study.
RESULTS: The study included 120 ACS patients
undergoing PTCA, divided into two groups: Group
1 (prasugrel) and Group 2 (clopidogrel). Key
demographic factors assessed were age, weight,
gender, and clinical presentation of ACS. Among
prasugrel recipients (58 patients), outcomes
showed effective prevention of ischemic and
bleeding events. In contrast, 20 of the 62 patients
on clopidogrel experienced complications such as
ischemic events, minor bleeds, chest discomfort,
and required hospital revisits for symptom
evaluation.
CONCLUSION:In conclusion, this study
highlights the superior clinical outcomes associated
with prasugrel compared to clopidogrel in ACS
patients undergoing PTCA, particularly in reducing
ischemic and bleeding events. The Use of prasugrel
to better approximate a patient’s ischemic risk may
yield a more appreciable therapeutic benefit, a
hypothesis that needs further study.

ABSTRACT
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder impacting reproductive-aged women, manifesting through hormonal imbalances, metabolic irregularities, and reproductive health issues. It is one of the leading causes of infertility, also contributing significantly to various metabolic and psychological conditions. Effective management of PCOS depends on early and accurate diagnosis, a comprehensive understanding of it’s underlying mechanisms, and the application of individualized treatment strategies.

Aim of the Study: This study seeks to consolidate existing knowledge on PCOS, outline diagnostic criteria, examine pathophysiological mechanisms, and evaluate both conventional and modern therapeutic approaches. This study aims to promote improved health outcomes and care strategies for women with PCOS by examining recent research findings.

Materials and Methods: A systematic review of scientific literature was conducted through PubMed, Google Scholar, and other databases, focusing on diagnostic advancements, insights into pathophysiology, and innovative therapeutic methods for PCOS. Only studies published from 2019 onwards were included to ensure the use of the most recent data and developments in the field.

Results: Although research has advanced, PCOS remains a complex condition with significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Recent studies propose innovative diagnostic and treatment approaches that offer clinicians alternative options for cases that do not respond to standard management methods.

Conclusions: PCOS continues to present a significant challenge in women’s health. Ongoing research into diagnostic techniques and treatment options enriches current guidelines, facilitates the creation of standardized protocols, and supports more timely and effective management strategies tailored to individual needs.

Published: December 2024

Pregnancy and the first year after birth are special periods for the monitoring and treatment of mental illness. During these periods, numerous conditions are diagnosed including depressive disorders (11%), anxiety disorders (15%), bipolar disorders (20.1%) and psychotic disorders (0,1-0,2%). Of interest is the potential impact of psychiatric treatment on plans to have children and the need for treatment during pregnancy.

Aims: To identify the factors enabling the psychiatrist, in collaboration with obstetricians, anesthesiologists, and psychologists, to take the risk of prescribing in pregnancy and the postpartum.

Methods: A literature review was conducted using the PubMed database with the search items identical to keywords.

Results: Still many psychiatric disorders in pregnancy and the postpartum left unrecognized and undertreated, which might increase the risk of complications and development problems for foetus and infant due to medical and psychological factors. Mental disorders are the leading causes of maternal death which might be associated with stigma and fear, making it impossible to ask for professional help.

Conclusions: The appropriate medical care for pregnant women and mothers with psychiatric disorders should include the whole service of medical professionals familiar with all the complexity and difficulty of mental disorders. The decision of treatment in such cases always has an impact not only on mothers but also on newborns.

Published: December 2024

Despite the numerous controversies associated with electroconvulsive therapy, in its favor is the relatively low number of contraindications, side effects and high level of safety.

Purpose: The purpose of the publication was to collect and organize information on the use of electroconvulsive therapy in psychiatry and its effectiveness in specific disease entities, such as depression, schizophrenia, bipolar affective disorder and PTSD.

Methods: A literature review was conducted using PubMed and Google Scholar containing information on the use of ECT in psychiatry. The search focused on the words electroconvulsive therapy, ECT, schizophrenia, depression, PTSD, bipolar affective disorder. Priority was given to using recent articles.

Results: According to the most reliable sources, electroconvulsive therapy has a beneficial therapeutic effect in patients with depression, PTSD, schizophrenia and bipolar affective disorder.

Conclusions: Due to the commonness of mental illnesses and the co-occurring resistance to pharmacological treatment, modern psychiatry is looking for alternative methods. One of them is electroconvulsive therapy, which has undergone modifications over time and is today considered a method with a high safety profile. Beneficial effects of the use of ECT can be observed in patients with bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and depression, and research on its effectiveness in the case of PTSD is still ongoing. ECT can be used in pregnant women, in patients with treatment-resistant depression and at high risk of suicide.

Published: December 2024

This study offers ecocritical discussions of Sinan Antoon’s The Book of Collateral Damage (2019), focusing on the author’s ecoconsciousness and equitable treatment of all ecological entities. Through a close reading of the novel, this study examines how Antoon develops an inclusive project which traverses the spectrum from anthropocentric to biocentric to ecocentric values, giving value to humans, flora, fauna, air, water, soil, and even artificial environments. Furthermore, it demonstrates how Antoon enlarges his scope of awareness by creating an integrated ecocritical approach in both content and style in his novel. It concludes that Antoon’s thoughtful depiction of an inclusive and integrated eco critical project deserves a place on eco-fiction lists.

Problems and features of normative legal regulation of "cover documents" using in operational investigative activities
Authors: Tambovtsev Andrei
Published: December 2024

Introduction. The implementation of operational investigative activities by officials of operational investigative activity subjects and persons providing them with confidential assistance objectively requires the concealment of a significant amount of information about themselves, as well as about the operational investigative means and methods they use. However, the objective reality in which operational investigative activities are carried out often does not allow concealing the very fact and circumstances of its implementation. In such conditions, it is tactically more advantageous and rational to disguise the implementation of operational investigative activities under other types of social activity, using for this purpose a covert-conspiratorial toolkit, which includes the so-called cover documents – documents that encrypt the identity of officials, departmental affiliation of enterprises, institutions, organisations, divisions, premises and vehicles of bodies implementing operational investigative activities, as well as the identity of citizens providing them with assistance on a confidential basis. Russian operational-search legislation regulates their use extremely sparingly and illogically, which gives rise to theoretical and practical problems of using this functional-legal institute of operational-search activities. In this work, the author analyses the modern normative legal regulation of this sphere. Methods. The study used general scientific dialectical, comparative legal, formal logical methods and the method of content analysis. This made it possible to identify evidence of a normative legal deficit in terms of regulating the lawful and safe circulation of special chemical substances for operational-search purposes in the prevention, suppression and detection of crimes, and the search for criminals. Results. Based on the analysis of a number of federal laws, inconsistent and contradictory provisions of individual articles designed to regulate the use of cover documents by operational-search activity subjects were identified. This gives rise to a conflict of laws in their legal interpretation and subsequent implementation in practice. The study allowed the author to state a certain inadequacy of the legal regulation of the use of cover documents by operational-search activity subjects and participants and the need for the earliest possible optimisation of the regulatory system in the area under consideration in accordance with the proposed authentic approaches. In conclusion, the author formulates individual proposals for the interpretation of current legal norms and their editorial correction.

The purpose of the study: to substantiate the need for educational work in the direction of health and self-preservation in educational institutions of higher professional education of the Ministry of the Interior of Russia. Objectives: to analyse the physical condition of cadets after conducting experimental work; to determine the level and dynamics of motor activity of cadets in educational institutions of higher professional education of the Ministry of the Interior of Russia. Methods and structure of the study. The survey involved second-year cadets of the faculty of operational detective’s training of St. Petersburg University of the Ministry of the Interior of Russia aged 18 to 22 years. The average age was 19,09+2 years. The study was conducted using the diagnostic survey method including the ODA-23+ motor activity questionnaire developed at the Federal State Budgetary Institution “State Research Center of Preventive Medicine” of the Ministry of Health of Russia (Andronov D. M., Krasnitsky V. B., Bubnova M. G., 2013). During the experimental work, classes were held using the methodology of the Japanese scientist, Doctor of Sciences Izumi Tabata, and educational discussions about health and self-preservation. Results. The study showed that the motor activity of cadets increased after the experimental educational work in the field of health and self-preservation. Based on the data obtained, it can be concluded that the main goal of the educational work of a teacher in educational institutions of higher professional education in the field of maintaining and strengthening health is to improve the knowledge and motivation of students in the field of health and self-preservation.

Authors: Kostina Elena , Agapov Valery
Published: December 2024

Introduction. The results of an empirical research of basic beliefs and attachment depending on the level of organisational support perceived by cadets are presented. The aim of the research is to identify the psychological features of level differences in the organisational support perceived by cadets. Research methods: the questionnaire of perceived organisational support; the Scale of basic beliefs; the methodology “Attachment Interview for Adults”; the methodology for diagnosing the level of professional burnout by V.V. Boyko. Comparative and multivariate discriminant analysis was used to identify significant differences of the studied phenomenon. Results. A high level of perceived organisational support is observed in the case of emotional involvement in service activities. In this case, cadets feel themselves as a part of the team and share its goals and values, demonstrate a high sense of duty before the team. Achievements of the organisation are considered equal to their own. The cadets' openness to take responsibility for failures and the desire to overcome them are complemented by sensitivity to justice, belief in kindness and the need for social contacts. The authors found that motivation for helping to achieve the organisation's goals prevails. It is manifested in the cadets' participation in various projects and activities aimed at developing the organisation and improving its efficiency.
Legal Subjectivity Issue in Eastern Discursive Practices: Problem stating
Authors: Lomakina Irina
Published: December 2024

Introduction. The article deals with the problem of understanding legal subjectivity; it is noted that the image, social purpose and ontological essence of the subject of legal relations itself depends on the type of legal understanding. The Eastern legal tradition, in contrast to the individualistic Western one, revealed a collective subject to the world. Individuality of this subject is maintained in potency and manifests itself only under special conditions and within a certain social structure. To understand legal subjectivity in the civilisational (broad) sense, a new approach taking into account the diversity of human existence forms is needed. Methods. This article proposes a post-classical anthropological legal approach that highlights the contextuality of legal phenomena and actualises their relativity. Results. The article provides evidence that legal subjectivity is not reducible to individualistic interaction alone. Eastern cultures shape legal identity differently, and discursive practices highlight different variations of mutual recognition in which the individual, status group and society as a whole act towards each other with different degrees of dominance. The author argues that each culture creates its own ideal image of a human being in the world of law: sometimes it acts as a “creator”, sometimes as a “creation”, and sometimes it combines both at the same time. This, in turn, implies a certain set of values that adapt a person to the social system in which he actually lives and realises his socially significant needs. The article actualises the idea that legal subjectivity is a construct formed by a person as a social being at all stages of his formation, potentially claiming a universal legal order.

Authors: Gaidamashko Igor , Zlokazov Kirill , Fedotov Andrey
Published: December 2024

Introduction. The The article deals with the application of artificial intelligence technology to enhance the effectiveness of professional psychological selection within internal affairs bodies. The importance of this study lies in the need to carefully select and train candidates for service in order to form the backbone of the personnel of the internal affairs bodies in the Russian Federation. In order to select the right candidates, it is necessary to enhance the process of differential ability. Additionally, this study highlights the scientific need to improve psychological support for personnel, development of methodology, methods and procedures of psychological diagnostics as a field of scientific knowledge. The research methods are general scientific methods of process information to organise knowledge about professional psychological selection and the application of neural network classification. The empirical methods used are the construction of a decision tree and neural network classification. The research sample comprises candidates for training in the educational organisation of internal affairs bodies. The results of the research can be summarised as follows: a) decision rules (decision tree) for the classification of applicants, revealing the regularities of their distribution into categories of professional suitability based on their personal and professional qualities; b) a neural network model for the differentiation of applicants into categories of professional suitability based on their personal and professional qualities. This model has shown good accuracy in selecting candidates. Theoretical results are findings about the possibility of individualisation of psychological support and improving educational work with students who have been referred to different categories of professional suitability on the basis of individual combinations of personal and professional qualities. Theoretical results also concern the improvement of educational work with students. The potential for enhancing the capacity of psychodiagnostic techniques to differentiate between individuals and the procedure for examining the personal and professional qualities of candidates for service, which reduce the risk of inaccuracies in their measurement, are outlined. The conclusion outlines the theoretical and methodological prospects for applying neural network classification method as a component of artificial intelligence technology in the selection of candidates for service in the internal affairs bodies of the Russian Federation.
To the content of the concept of “internal affairs bodies” in a historical context
Authors: Malygin Aleksandr , Abdrahmanov Al'bert
Published: December 2024

Introduction. The term “internal affairs” has become so widespread in our everyday life (including scientific) that it seems as if it has always existed.It may seem that it pretends to be some basic theoretical concept. The author of this article attempts to clarify this situation, to find out when and under what circumstances the concepts of “internal affairs”, “bodies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs”, “institutions of internal affairs”, “internal affairs bodies” entered the record and scientific turnover. This task seems to us to be urgent and highly relevant. Methods. The research was based on dialectics, acting as a general methodology of scientific cognition. General scientific, special and private-scientific methods were used. The study of relevant historical documents with the use of analysis, synthesis, induction and deduction was carried out. The obtained results were processed using the interpretative method. The comparison of functions and subdivisions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in different historical periods was carried out. The principle of historicism allowed us to study the dynamics of formation and development of the terms “internal affairs”, “internal affairs bodies”. Results and their discussion. It is revealed that the very concepts of “internal affairs”, “internal affairs bodies” and other derivatives of them appeared only at the end of the XVIII century. In the “Mysterious Constitution” N. I. Panin outlined a new system of central bodies of branch state administration. One of the eight directions of “state government” he singled out “Spiritual law and morals of citizens, which is called internal politics”. Eight ministries were createdin September 1802. Seven of them were “specialised”, profile ones: the Military and Army, Naval, Justice, Commerce, Finance, Foreign Affairs, Public Education. The leadership of the other spheres of activity of society and the state was entrusted to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The Ministry of Internal Affairs took an exclusive position in the part of the management of places: governors, local selfgovernment bodies were subordinated to it. The concept of “internal affairs” was not precisely defined for a very long time. This continued until the beginning of the twentieth century and in the post-revolutionary years. Numerous reorganisations of the Ministry did not allow forming a definition of the terms in issue. Conclusion. As a result of the research, the authors conclude that the concept of «internal affairs bodies» cannot claim universal application to different historical periods. There are no unified criteria for attributing the functions performed by certain links of the state apparatus to «internal affairs».

The construction sector has long been known for its complicated safety requirements, which are critical to ensure the well-being of workers on site. However, interpreting these requirements and maintaining compliance can be difficult due to the amount and complexity of the paperwork involved. This leads to difficulty extracting safety information from requirement documents. Besides, information that is presented in a manner similar to human-like responses can improve employee understanding. This study proposed a Construction Safety Query Assistant (CSQA) approach to enhance the extraction and knowledge of construction safety regulations using Large Language Models (LLMs). CSQA comprises of three primary components: (1) the Construction Safety Investigation Module (CSI), which gathers and processes safety regulation documents through text extraction and preprocessing to build a searchable database; (2) the Safety Condition Identification Module (SCI), which utilizes LLMs to interpret user queries and extract relevant information from the CSI database, capitalizing on the models' ability to understand context and subtle textual nuances; and (3) the Safety Information Delivery Module (SID), which presents the retrieved information to users and integrates a feedback loop to refine the accuracy and relevance of responses based on user interaction. The CSQA approach was validated with 2 case studies that offered more contextually relevant, possibly lowering non-compliance risks, improving worker safety, and simplifying the consultation process in the construction sector. This study emphasizes its potential to transform access to crucial safety information in the construction industry.

Published: December 2024

Despite ongoing efforts to boost safety through new regulations and technologies, the construction industry still grapples with significant safety and accident issues. Construction sites are complex and dynamic environments, teeming with workers, vehicles, and machinery engaged in various activities. This complexity often leads to unpredictable hazardous events, making safety management a challenging task heavily reliant on the experience of safety managers. This paper introduces a framework to aid safety managers in risk assessment by developing an advanced simulation system. The system merges 4D Building Information Modeling (BIM) Simulation with 3D Agent-Based Modeling and Simulation (ABMS) within a game engine environment. This integration allows for the simulation of various entities (agents) and their interactions on a construction site, offering a detailed view of potential hazards. The proposed system features an automatic Prevention through Design (PtD) method. This method predicts hazards by analyzing the likelihood of occurrence, vulnerability, and exposure values during the planning phase. It simulates agent behaviors, records interactions leading to hazardous events, and visualizes these interactions as hazard exposure heatmaps in the 4D BIM model. The model reflects various site configurations over time, helping safety managers to strategically organize activities and workspaces to minimize risks. The framework follows the ISO 31000:2018 risk definition and addresses the complexity of construction site systems and their risk management issues. It discusses the key components of the framework, including the rules of agent behavior based on game theory, management of BIM data for 3D scenario creation, and a detection and visualization system for monitoring agent interactions. Overall, this framework seeks to enhance risk assessment effectiveness in the construction industry by leveraging BIM and advanced simulation techniques to provide valuable insights for improving site safety management.
