The link between mammary cancer, excessive adipose tissue and cholesterol
Authors: Munteanu Camelia , Pop Bianca
Published: July 2022

Mammary cancer remains the most frequent worldwide type of cancer in females. From a health point of view, it is a huge challenge. As a definition, we can say that a group of biologically and molecularly heterogeneous diseases is represented by mammary cancer. An important causal factor for this disease is genetic predisposition, especially mutations in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene. The mammary gland is stimulated by hormones both morphologically and physiologically. The most significant of these are estrogens.

Estrogen is the main female hormone, but it is present in both females and males. Elevated levels of this hormone may increase the risk of developing mammary cancer. In post-climacteric excessive adipose tissue, estrogens biosynthesis is catalyzed by aromatase, converting adrenal androgens into estrogen. Risk factors for developing mammary cancer, such as excessive adipose tissue, age at menarche and the use of exogenous hormones may increase the risk of developing it.

The aim of this paper is to show the link between cholesterol, excessive adipose tissue, and the increased risk of developing mammary cancer.

: Splenic hematomas represent the most encountered splenic benign masses in dogs (Canis lupus familiaris), and they are usually secondary to splenic nodular hyperplasia. In most spayed bitches with urinary incontinence (UI), pelvic bladders are a common finding. In addition, ovariohysterectomy (OHE), hormonal imbalances, and various anatomical anomalies are responsible for the onset of urethral sphincter mechanism incompetence (USMI). This case report highlights the aggravating aspect caused by a splenic hematoma to develop a pelvic bladder in a mongrel bitch, that was sterilized seven years ago. A 14-years-old spayed German shepherd was presented to the Emergency Veterinary Hospital in Cluj-Napoca, with a history of apathy, incontinence, and foul kennel smell, for several months. The diagnostic was based on anamnesis, medical history, imagistic, and routine laboratory assays. The main findings were the presence of a pelvic bladder, splenic hematoma, and chronic cholecystitis. The bitch was admitted for 14 days. Surgical intervention was required, so a splenectomy was performed. Besides the surgical management and the supportive care, the bitch also received treatment for UI with phenylpropanolamine (PPA; Propalin 5%; 1.2 mg/kg 12h PO prn). Three days after surgery and treatment, the bitch recovered the urinary tonus, and UI was absent. The bitch was discharged two weeks after the surgical intervention. The presence of splenic hematomas can precipitate the development of UI by partially translocating the urinary bladder into the pelvic cavity (i.e., pelvic bladder), especially in old spayed bitches.
Facilitating Accountable Critical Thinking (FACT): A Perspective from a Novel Facet of Critical Medical Anthropology
Authors: Rajkumar R. Vinodh
Published: July 2022

A profession is not just a source to provide occupations to serve people by simply utilizing the knowledge as taught in the curriculum but to serve people with reproducible and verifiable facts. Professionals should be ready to abandon any indoctrinated knowledge if found worthless or harmful when applied. Not only that, the professionals should let the world know about the impracticality or harmfulness of any indoctrinated knowledge, and engage in critical thinking to generate better sustainable alternatives. In medical profession, rendering unbiased evidence-based support to the scientific facts is not possible without experimentations using similar methodologies. Though the greatest achievement of any medical invention (diagnosis, treatment procedure, prophylaxis, public health measure) is its generalizability, the tendency of the health care professionals to generalize a finding of someone or themselves without repeated applications in real-life situations has been an impediment. Critical thinking is the precursor for evidence-based practices in medical profession. It is highly difficult to shape the public health system into an evidence-based noble ‘School of Thought’ (preferably, nation-specific ‘School of Thought’) in order to eradicate iatrogenesis, pseudoscience, health inequities, statistical malpractices, quackery, professional degradation etc., for which important ‘Health Activism’ initiatives incorporating the principles of Salutogenesis, Homeostasis, Lifestyle medicine, Evidence-based practice, Transdisciplinarity and Teamwork, are needed. In fact, health care professionals should possess profound and flawless foundational knowledge about homeostasis. Anthropologists with any medical degree background could be competent enough to reveal various unexplored facets of critical medical anthropology to support standardization of the medical education and health care practices.

Published: July 2022

Background: Hospital Acquired infection may cause prolonged hospital stays, higher mortality, long- term disability, increased microbial drug resistance, and excess health-care costs. Recently HCAI has become a major issue in health- care safety that concerns the safety of patients and HCWs.The main aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of planned teaching programme regarding Hospital Acquired Infection and its prevention among B. Sc. Nursing first Year students.
Methods:One group pretest posttest research design was used to find out the effectiveness of planned teaching programme regarding Hospital Acquired Infection and its prevention .In this study, 60 B. Sc. Nursing first year students who were studying in SGRR College of nursing Dehradun, India were enrolled. Non probability purposive sampling technique was used to select the sample. The data were analyzed and interpreted by using descriptive, inferential statistics was used to find out association between the knowledge and selected demographic variables.
Results: Overall total Knowledge score showed that majority of B. Sc. Nursing first year students, 54 (90%) had inadequate knowledge, 6 (10%) of the students had adequate knowledge regarding HAI and its prevention and (mean +_SD) pre-test 12.70 +_3.993 as compare to post –test 16.95+_3.873.
Conclusion: ICU, HCWS report suboptimal levels of HAI and its prevention adherence. This finding in high-risk areas is particularly concerning given that it likely over estimate actual practice. Improving HAI control will likely require closing knowledge gaps in hospital infection control practice.

Anatomical patterns of kidney structure in yorkshire pigs in the age aspect
Authors: Pidchenko R. D. , Shchipakin M. V.
Published: July 2022

The Yorkshire pig breed was bred in the 19th century by the English farmer Joseph Tooley and presented at the agricultural exhibition in Windose in 1851. Pig breeders immediately appreciated this breed on merit for its calm disposition and unpretentious lifestyle, feeding and maintenance. Farmer Joseph Tuley decided to assign the name of the breed immediately, and in particular to link it with his county - Yorkshire. The Yorkshire pig was the result of crossing representatives of the white Leicester and Chinese and English long-eared. Farmer Joseph Tuley decided to breed a new bacon breed, which became the goal of his life and brought him fame and an impressive income. Yorkshire piglets were brought to Russia only in the post-war years and immediately became quite popular. Currently, this breed of pig ranks fourth in the world in terms of prevalence and popularity. There are about 1.5 million individuals of this breed of pigs in the Russian Federation. Currently, diseases of pigs associated with the urinary tract are very widespread. The causes of this pathology can be infectious microorganisms, injuries of various etiologies, metabolic disorders and vascular apparatus of the organs of the urinary system. This can lead to the occurrence of diseases such as nephritis, nephrosis, pyelonephritis, urethritis, cystitis. Without knowledge of anatomical and topographic features of the structure of the organs of the urinary system, it is problematic to diagnose diseases and pathologies, as well as to carry out timely treatment. The purpose of our study was to study the anatomical patterns of kidney structure in Yorkshire pigs in the age aspect. The material for the study was three age groups of pigs - newborns 1-7 days (early neonatal period); piglets 10-14 days (neonatal period); piglets 20-28 days (late neonatal period) weighing from 2000 to 3500 g. To achieve this task, a complex of traditional anatomical research methods was used: fine anatomical dissection, photographing and morphometry. During the study, it was found that the kidneys of Yorkshire pigs are located in the retroperitoneal space. Topographically, the right and left kidneys are located at the same level under 1-4 lumbar vertebrae. The kidneys of male Yorkshire piglets are much larger and larger in absolute and relative terms than those of females. The study also found that the maximum kidney growth in Yorkshire pigs in the observed period ranged from 10-14 to 20-28 days of age.

Published: July 2022

The article analyzes the occurrence and spread of animal rabies disease in the Smolensk region for 2017-2021. At the same time, the following were studied: the incidence rate among susceptible species of farm animals, domestic carnivores and wild fauna, the geographical location of disadvantaged territories in which natural foci of rabies were activated during the specified period and the results of work on preventive measures and the elimination of animal diseases with rabies.Starting from the 80s of the last century, the natural type of rabies epizootics began to spread on the territory of the region, this also indicates the presence of a reservoir of the causative agent of infection, the formation and persistent preservation of natural foci of rabies, supported not only by foxes, but also raccoon dogs, wolves.As the analysis of the epizootic situation of animal rabies disease shows, the main source and distributor of rabies in the region are representatives of the canine family, who have been supporting stable foci of sylvatic rabies for many years. Their share among infected wild animals for five years (2017-2021) accounts for 48.5% of cases of rabies, but at the same time, during the analyzed period, rabies of domestic animals increases and amounts to 50.2%, which is reflected in chart No. 1.Animal rabies has spread and is firmly rooted in the Smolensk region, which has actually turned into a vast, unified natural focal area.

Urolithiasis is a common disease, affecting a large number of people worldwide, affecting all the age groups from youngsters to old people. Urolithiasis is one of the most severe urologic disorders which are most prevalent in developed and developing countries. Lagerstroemia speciosa, belongs to the group of Lythraceae family, commonly called as crape myrtle is a medicinal plant that has traditionally been used as an antidiabetic, lowering blood glucose levels in the body. Banaba is the common name of Lagerstroemia speciosa. The current study was investigated for the in vitro antiurolithiatic potential of Langerstromia specoisa leaf extract (LSEE) against calcium oxalate (CaOx) urolithiasis. The mechanism of stone formation involves supersaturation, crystal nucleation, precipitation, crystal growth and aggregation of crystals. The CaOx crystal was characterized by FT-IR analysis. LSEE significantly inhibited the stone formation, nucleation, growth and aggregation of CaOx crystals. FT-IR characterization was used for analyzing the formation of calcium oxalate crystals, which will be used in growth and aggregation assays. LSEE has significant antiurolithiatic activity in vitro against CaOx urolithiasis, which could be attributed to its flavonoids, polyphenolic content, saponins and tannins.

Depression in chronic pain often manifests with symptoms of anxiety. Purpose: The aim of the study is to investigate the influence of depression, state and trait anxiety on pain intensity in patients with chronic pain and depression. Materials and Methods: Sixty-one patients with chronic pain and depression were studied. The study was phased. Тhe second stage was carried out three months after the first. All participants received antidepressant treatment. The severity of depression was assessed with HAM-D-17, the level of state and trait anxiety – with Spielberger's STAI and pain intensity – with VAS. The trait anxiety was studied during the first stage. Regression analysis was used to perform the purpose of the study. Results: The mean age of the sample was 55.6066±10.90608. Women comprised 91.8% of the sample, and men – 8.2%. A reduction in the mean values of the indicators in the second stage was reported. A regression analysis during the first stage showed that 60% of the variations in pain intensity were explained by the influence of the three variables (R=,616; R2=,379). Depression had the greatest impact and degree of influence on pain (t=3,372; p=,001), compared to state anxiety (t=,513; p=,015). The influence of trait anxiety was negligible (t=-,484; p=,630). The results of the analysis of the second stage were similar (R=,644, R2=,415). The influence of depression was significant (p=,011; t=2,626), compared to that of state anxiety (t=2,012; p=,049). Conclusions: Depression is the main variable influencing pain intensity. The search for symptoms of depression and their treatment is crucial for the management of chronic pain.

Published: July 2022

The Greek economy has so far failed to shift its production structure towards more complex, high value-added activities incorporating knowledge-intensive practices. Greece lacks a systemic “activating knowledge” dimension. Given the country’s low performance in innovation and knowledge diffusion relative to EU peers, we focus on two specific problem areas of Greek industry: skills and management practices. Both areas are key requirements to achieve robust productivity growth, in which Greece has been shown to be chronically lagging behind its peers. First, we provide an in-depth look at skills indicators to identify the scope for action, particularly in addressing mismatch. A novel result is that, by utilising mismatch indicators aggregated from microdata sourced from the recent OECD Survey of Adult Skills that was conducted as part of the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC), we show that Greece has the highest overskilling for professional occupations. We also corroborate previous findings about the negative relationship between skills mismatch and firm productivity. Second, we use firm-level data from the World Management Survey to give a review of management practices in Greek industry and explore the quality of these practices and their association with productivity. Finally, we use information from a novel survey on entrepreneurship, technological developments and regulatory change, and examine structural characteristics of innovation activity and technology adoption by Greek firms, with a focus on the role of size, ownership structure, global value chain participation and human resource practices. Our empirical findings provide valuable input into concrete policy proposals to increase productivity in Greek manufacturing.
Post-pandemic inflation: Phillips curve, trends, drivers and lessons
Authors:   Bank of Greece, Catiforis Christos
Published: July 2022

After several years of very low inflation, the world economy in 2021 and 2022 has been confronted with an abrupt and persistent rise in inflation rates not seen for decades. This paper investigates the main factors behind the surge in consumer price inflation in advanced economies and possible differences across them. It assesses the relative role of excess demand arising from the reopening of economies after the COVID-19 restrictive measures, global value chain and supply-side disruptions, higher energy prices, the “base effect”, and labour market pressures. We find that prices were initially pushed up by the fast world demand recovery combined with global supply disruptions, but eventually, especially since the war in Ukraine, energy prices have become the main driver of increased inflation. Differences in the contribution of the core inflation component across advanced economies, especially between the United States and the rest, reflect differences in output gaps and labour market tightness, while unit labour cost pressures remained muted almost everywhere. Given that inflation is expected to remain elevated for longer than initially anticipated, monetary authorities are expected to become more “conservative” again, defending their credibility. Past experience suggests that, as the economic slowdown becomes inevitable, the short-term costs of a gradual and orderly monetary policy normalisation to activity and employment are probably lower than the potential longer-term costs of a more popular prolonged accommodative policy. The anchoring of inflation expectations is not a free lunch.
Green finance in Europe: actors and challenges
Authors:   Bank of Greece, Anyfantaki Sofia , Migiakis Petros , Paisiou Katerina
Published: July 2022

Addressing climate change through mitigation and adaptation measures requires changes in policies, technologies and consumption behaviours towards a low emissions model of growth. These structural changes require appropriate financial solutions, in order to scale up financial flows that support sustainable growth. This paper focuses on the European dimension and considers the role of financial markets in the process of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and promoting climate change mitigation and adaptation. Global green bond markets have grown rapidly in recent years. Based on issue- and issuer-specific data, we find that the global market activity for financing projects within the scope of a green bond issuance has accelerated during the last years, with the aggregate amount of bonds issued in the period 2019-21 almost tripling compared with the period 2014-18. Moreover, we show that European markets and issuers lead this development, while private sector entities are increasingly making use of green bond markets as a source of funding. On the other hand, funding from green bond markets has been directed to few sectors of the economy, underlining the need for some policy-related initiatives. The increase in green bond issuance has come during a period of easy financial conditions, which could further highlight the need for policy initiatives aimed at enhancing the provision of incentives to investors towards green financing in the present changing market landscape. The improvement of the credibility, comparability and transparency of ESG ratings and assessments of CRAs is important to support sound investment decision-making and risk management, including those of central banks, which are increasingly incorporating climate change issues in their operations.
The Length-Weight Relationhsips (LWRs) of Some Fishes Along the Turkish Coasts of the Black Sea
Authors: SAMSUN Serap
Published: July 2022

In this study 288 length-weight relationships of some fish species from the Turkish coasts of Black Sea were gathered from 138 studies, which were conducted by several researchers between 1989 and 2021. For all species, the “b” values ranged from 2.49 for Trachurus trachurus to 3.75 for Alosa caspia. The expected range of 2.5<b<3.5 is confirmed for fish. It is thought that the high b value (3.75) given for A. caspia may be due to the size composition of the samples. Within species, a plot of log (a) vs b was used to detect outliers in weight–length relationships. In study, two outliers were determined for Mullus barbatus while, one outlier was determined for Belone belone, Alosa immaculata, Merlangius merlangus and Neogobius melanostomus.

Published: July 2022

This experiment aimed to evaluate the effects of Brahman crossbreeding and postmortem technologies (electrical stimulation and vacuum aging) on eating quality of loins from pasture-finished bulls. Fifty yearling bulls representing five Brahman-influenced types (n = 10 each): Brahman (BRAH), F1-Angus (F1ANG), F1-Chianina (F1CHI), F1-Romosinuano (F1ROM), and F1-Simmental (F1SIM) were supplemented on pasture until reaching a desirable conformation at a suitable live weight of ca. 480 kg. All carcasses were classified as “Bullocks” according to U.S. standards. Carcass’s right sides were subjected to high-voltage electrical stimulation (ES) while the left sides were not stimulated (NOES). Longissimus lumborum (LL) steaks from ES and NOES carcasses were allotted either to the vacuum aging control treatment for 2 d (NOAGING) or 10 d (AGING). LL steaks were evaluated for Warner-Bratzler shear force (WBSF) and sensory traits by trained panelists. No differences in WBSF, juiciness, or flavor ratings were detected among breed types (P > 0.05). Sensory ratings for tenderness-related traits varied little with breed type (P < 0.05). Steaks from F1ANG received higher ratings for muscle fiber tenderness, overall tenderness, and amount of connective tissue, and differed (P < 0.05) from those of F1ROM and F1SIM which received the lowest ratings. Bullock loins were more responsive to ES+AGING in WBSF reduction and desirable tenderness ratings than other postmortem treatments (P < 0.05) by reaching a greater proportion (72%) of “tender” (WBSF < 40.1 N) steaks than AGING (48%), ES (36%), and NOES-NOAGING (24%) samples (P < 0.01). Tenderness of bullock loin steaks is marginally improved by crossbreeding; therefore, the application of ES+AGING is necessary to ensure a higher proportion of tenderloin steaks.

Published: July 2022

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is complex autoimmune system disease and significant impact on the health of population in our world. Numerous studies confirmed that genetic factors play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of RA. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a common pro-inflammatory cytokine with various functions in different pathophysiologic systems, especially in the development of RA. The Interleukin-6 (IL-6)is affected by common, functionally important genetic polymorphisms. Serum Interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels were higher in rheumatoid arthritis subjects than in nonrheumatoid arthritis subjects. (IL-6) may be a potential biomarker in  rheumatoid arthritis (IL-6) concentrations in sera were measured by "enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)" technique using Human-Interleukin-6(Bioassay Technology Laboratory). The results of the present study demonstrate that highly significant differences. The aim of this study is to evaluate serum levels of IL-6 among Iraqi RA patients. the IL-6levels in the rheumatoid arthritis patients were higher than that of controls (126.6436± 30.63222), controls (119.0229 ± 54.50154),  P= 0.899. It is noteworthy that the  (IL-6) levels  in the current study were IL-6 levels were higher in males than in females when comparing male patients with female patients (181.7823±117.92967versus 110.4356±34.83798), P= 0.558.We conclude that there may be a correlation between high levels of (IL-6)  and rheumatoid arthritis.

Objectives: Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) has been used to control post-pleurodesis pain with contradiction results. We aimed to assess the efficacy of TENS on post- pleurodesis pain in relation to: (i) Interleukin 6; (ii) Interleukin 10; (iii) pain. Methods: Between September 2020 to October 2021, 68 patients underwent pleurodesis post posterolateral thoracotomy. Sixty patients were enrolled in the present study and randomized in two groups: Group A TENS group (30 patients) who received postoperatively TENS for 2 days and Group B placebo group (30 patients) without TENS. In both groups (i) serum cytokines (IL-6, IL-10) were measured by ELISA before surgery and at 1, 6, 12, 24 and 48 postoperative hours (POHs); (ii) at the same POHs, the pain score was measured using critical care pain observational tool (CPOT). Repeated measures of analysis of variance assess the difference between two study groups. A value of P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: In the current study, a total of 60 patients participated and they were randomly distributed into 2 groups (30 patients/group). Statistical analysis shown that there was a significant change of pre-post treatment at groups A, (p<0.05).

Due to the global urgency produced by the Covid-19 pandemic, the development of alternative, viable processes, accessible through low-cost and technological resources, became more than necessary. Such is the case of telemedicine which, since its appearance towards the end of the 1960s through telephone consultations, has been transformed according to technological development. Information and communication technologies currently allow the provision of information and medical care services in diverse and distant locations, which is why it turns out to be relevant in the case of the current pandemic. This review work is aimed at examining the current state of the scope in the use of telemedicine that occurred during the current Covid-19 pandemic, its link in the case of medical education in various realities; as well as the analysis, evaluation and proposals on the benefits and concomitant challenges regarding telemedicine in the future.

The experiment was conducted in the shade of the Department of Life Sciences, College of Education for Girls, Tikrit University, during the 2021 agricultural season. It was implemented as a factorial experiment according to the RCBC randomized complete block design, which included two factors, the first factor being Nano iron oxide in four concentrations (20,80,40.0 mg, L-1). The second factor is vitamin B3 in three concentrations (100,50.0 mg. L-1). And the overlap between them and three replicates for each factor. The results showed that spraying with Nano iron oxide gave the highest rate of vegetative growth and plant nutrient content compared to plants that did not spray. The treatment of spraying with vitamin B3 in the characteristics of vegetative growth and mineral content was better than the treatment of non-spray with vitamin B3As for the intervention factors, treatment F3N2 (spraying with Nano iron oxide at a concentration of 20/mg. L-1 + vitamin B3 at a concentration of 100 mg, L-1) outperformed all the interaction treatments in the vegetative growth characteristics of the plant and its mineral content.
