Published: September 2022

Objectives: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has become quite common all over the world. Severe pain may also develop after laparoscopic procedures. Postoperative pain can cause changes in many systems and increase the risk of complications. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of ultrasound-guided Transversus Abdominis plane block on recovery and postoperative hemodynamic parameters in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods: The patients were divided into 2 groups as those who received paracetamol for postoperative analgesia and those who received paracetamol and TAP block. Postoperative hemodynamic parameters, peripheral oxygen saturations, VAS scores and Aldrete Scores of the patients were recorded from the patient files and compared. Results: VAS scores and systolic-diastolic arterial pressures were statistically significantly lower and Modified Aldrete scores and oxygen saturations were statistically significantly higher in patients with TAP block. Conclusion: We showed that in addition to conventional analgesia methods in patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy, TAP block applied with USG facilitates postoperative pain control, provides a more stable hemodynamics and both better and earlier recovery. It will provide an advantage in terms of both recovery and complication risk, especially in patients with cardiovascular system disorders.

Hospital-acquired infections especially those occur in intensive care units are an important source of mortality, morbidity, and cost. Plant materials have been an important source for antimicrobial agents for ages. To date, the antimicrobial activity of plant materials were generally tested using their extracts. There are only a few studies that deal with the antimicrobial activity of raw fibers and fabrics. This study aims to investigate the antimicrobial properties of raw hemp fibers and hemp fabrics that are in commercial production and compare them to the widely used cotton textiles. The antimicrobial activity was tested using the “disc diffusion method”. Hemp fiber and fabrics did not show any antimicrobial activity against 21 bacteria types. Contrary to the limited study in the literature, it was concluded that hemp fibers are not effective against nosocomial infections, but new studies with different fiber types are needed.

Objective: Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a reliable treatment modality in patients with systolic dysfunction. However, not every patient appears to benefit from CRT. The systemic immune inflammation index (SII) is closely linked to the poor prognosis of various cardiovascular disorders. However, there is no study investigating whether SII has predictive value in determining response to CRT in dilated cardiomyopathy patients. Therefore, we intend to investigate the association between SII and response to CRT.

Methods: A total of 220 patients (mean age 61.2±10.8 years; 120 men) implanted with CRT were involved in this study. Echocardiographic and laboratory measurements were evaluated prior to CRT. Response to CRT was determined as a≥ 15% decrease in left ventricular end-systolic volume at one-year follow-up.

Results: Patients grouped as CRT responders and non-responders. Of these, 143 (64.6%) were considered to be CRT responders, while the remaining 77 (33.4%) were non-responders. Female sex (OR: 3.823, CI: 1.568-9.324 p=0.003), QRS duration (OR: 1.224, CI: 1.158-1.335 p
Drug-induced urticaria and angioedema
Authors: Vorzheva Irina I. , Chernyak Boris A.
Published: September 2022

Urticaria and angioedema are the most common manifestations of drug hypersensitivity and are caused by drugs that differ in chemical nature and mechanisms of action. The pathogenesis of drug-induced urticaria and angioedema can be based on immunological and non-immunological reactions. Immunological (allergic) urticaria and associated angioedema most often develop due to immunoglobulin E-mediated reactions. Non-immunological hypersensitivity is caused by the direct action of an agonist drug on target cells, followed by the release of a wide range of inflammatory mediators and cytokines, or the effect of drugs on the metabolism of several biologically active substances that stimulate inflammatory cells. Isolated angioedema (not accompanied by urticaria) may be a sign of drug allergy but is more often due to heterogeneous non-immunological reactions that activate mastocytes and basophils in various ways. Another common variant of drug-induced isolated angioedema is not associated with target cell degranulation but develops according to different mechanisms, leading to excessive bradykinin accumulation. Finally, some drugs may exacerbate the pathology of the complement system in patients with hereditary or acquired angioedema.
Here, the etiology, pathogenesis, clinical picture, diagnosis, principles of therapy, and prevention of heterogeneous variants of drug-induced urticaria and angioedema are considered from modern positions.

Caixas; nossos insumos / Boxes; our inputs
Authors: Fampa Gabriel
Published: September 2022

Caixas; nossos insumos é uma crônica literária redigida em diálogo com uma experiência artística intitulada Caixas, que realizo e registro em 2020. O texto é uma narrativa ficcional de natureza autobiográfica e informal em que um personagem com tendências hipocondríacas relata sua vivência com as dores e preocupações que sente em relação ao próprio corpo. O corpo, então, está no foco da escrita e mostra-se incerto de sua estrutura, débil em seu funcionamento e assustado com sua vulnerabilidade. O diálogo entre texto e a obra Caixas ocorre no uso de palavras-chave ao longo da narrativa. Na obra fotografada, 50 líquidos foram despejados em caixas de papelão, de modo a deixar que elas absorvessem essas substâncias,  desmanchando-se como consequência. Cada líquido citado despojadamente no texto é um dos que foram despejados nas caixas, entre os quais constam, por exemplo, vitamina D3 líquida, água do Atlântico, estalactite de uma garagem, cachaça, gasolina comum, óleo e analgésicos em gotas. Em meio a outras motivações, procuro no trabalho um diálogo com a própria condição de um corpo na contemporaneidade, marcado por consumo, incertezas, precariedade, fragilidade, anseio e sujeição às forças externas que o afetam, seduzem, lhe despertam desejos e o desmancham e conformam.Palavras-chave: Corpo. Consumo. Debilidade. Autobiografia ficcional. Escritos de artista.Abstract Boxes; our inputs is a literary chronicle written in dialogue with an artistic experience entitled Boxes, which I produce and record in 2020. The text is a fictional narrative with an autobiographical nature in which a character with hypochondriacal tendencies reports his experience with pain and worries he feels with his own body. The body, then, is the focus of the writing and  is shown to be uncertain of its structure, weak in its functioning and frightened by its vulnerability. The dialogue between the text and the work Boxes occurs in the use of keywords throughout the narrative. In the photographed work, 50 liquids were poured into cardboard boxes in order to let them absorb these substances. Each liquid freely mentioned in the text is one of which was poured into the boxes, which include liquid vitamin D3, Atlantic water, stalactite from a garage, cachaça, gasoline, oil, painkillers in drops, among others. In the work, among other motivations, I seek a dialogue with the condition of a body in contemporary times, marked by consumption, uncertainties, precariousness, fragility, yearning and by subjection to external forces that affect, seduce, awaken desires and break and conform. Keywords: Body. Consumption. Fragility. Fictional autobiography. Artist’s writings.

SOCIETY, CULTURE, AND COGNITION: INTERCONNECTIONS IN MATHEMATICS EDUCATION
Authors: Mendes Iran Abreu
Published: September 2022

In this article, we maintain that the production of scientific knowledge is a product that is continuously linked to social reality as it is a constructive movement characterized by the socio-dynamics of culture. Elaborated in the form of an argumentative essay, it discusses the constitution of socio-cultural processes that mobilize reading, understanding, and explanation of the reality experienced and validated by human society. It was with this understanding that we conducted our inquiries, discussions, and reflections on the possibilities of establishing a Mathematics Education centered on the interconnection of mathematics, society, cognition, and culture (MSCC). Based on our reflections, we point out indicators for interactive and integrative mathematics teaching, which argues for the development of a mathematical educator who acts as a mediator of operationalized learning in favor of the emancipation and social transformation of students.

Published: September 2022

Se analizó desde la literatura el concepto de emprendimiento social, bajo un nivel descriptivo con diseño documental; en el ámbito académico se consideran las escuelas: de la empresa social, del emprendedor social e innovación social. Debemos considerar que un emprendedor tiene la capacidad de identificar las oportunidades y hacer frente a los riesgos que se presenten en el mercado; toma muy en cuenta su experiencia y capacidad innovadora, el cual le permite consolidar sus proyectos y contribuir al crecimiento económico a través de sus competencias y habilidades; es una necesidad de orden mundial encaminar proyectos emprendedores bajo una cultura de innovación. Se concluye que la definición de emprendimiento social es amplio y poco estudiada, se evidencia la falta de un consenso para la delimitación conceptual y a través de ella se busca minimizar los problemas sociales.

Physicochemical phenomena occurring under the action of electric field forces near the phase boundaries of weakly conductive continuous media are analyzed. It is shown that the creation of high-intensity electric fields in these media directly at the phase boundaries, where the main resistances to mass transfer processes are concentrated, makes it possible to intensify the processes of dispersion and demulsification by electric field forces at low energy consumption.

The paper presents the results of drying potatoes with a synergistic effect of heat and ultrasonic vibrations in the range of 130-175 dB. The curves of the drying rate and the dependence of the average drying rate on the sound pressure level for two drying periods (high and low moisture content) were plotted. The mechanism of free liquid removal at the initial stage of drying due to ultrasonic dispersion is revealed, the trigger of which is the sound pressure level of 150 dB.

Contemporary lexicography, "augmented linguistic reality" and terminographic challenges
Authors:   Institute of Linguistics, Russian Academy of Sciences, Riabtseva N.K.
Published: September 2022

The paper shows that rapidly developing digital technologies radically transform con-temporary lexicography and its principles in representing linguistic information, particularly for various intellectual systems and applications. New active trends in the evolution of lexi-cography and in the compiling and functioning of innovative lexicographic resources are re-vealed. Particular attention is paid to a most urgent problem within contemporary cross-linguistic scientific communication — the lexicographic representation of modern terminolo-gy, which is stimulated by digital technologies, acquires fundamentally new properties and becomes more dynamic, multiword, compositional, context-aware, cross-disciplinary, etc.

Introduction: To identify the specific Anopheles mosquito sibling species responsible for malaria transmission, determine their vectorial potential, and predict suitable control measures, this study investigated genetic identities, human blood feeding, and sporozoite infection rates of endophilic Anopheles mosquitoes in Gaa-Bolorunduro, a cattle rearing community in Kwara State, Nigeria.

Methodology: Monthly pyrethrum spray collections of Anopheles mosquitoes were conducted for one year in addition to PCR characterization of sibling species and ELISA probing of human blood meal and sporozoite infections. Mean numbers and human blood indices (HBI) of the different Anopheles sibling species identified were compared.

Results: The total of 668 PCR-identified mosquitoes comprised 50.8% An. arabiensis, 46.7% An. gambiae, and 2.5% An. coluzzii. Annual mean numbers of An. arabiensis was significantly higher (p = 0.001) than An. coluzzii but not An. gambiae (p = 0.602). Proportions of An. arabiensis found with human blood (0.29) were lower compared to An. gambiae (0.72) and An. coluzzii (0.75). However, the annual mean HBI of An. arabiensis was not significantly higher than An. gambiae (p = 0.195) and An. coluzzii (p = 0.249). Plasmodium falciparum sporozoite infection rate was 1.6% in An. gambiae, 0.9% in An. arabiensis and 0% in An. coluzzii.

Conclusions: The prevalent An. arabiensis and An. gambiae mosquitoes found indoors, despite the outdoor cattle population barrier, could be targeted by community-scale utilization of long-lasting insecticide-treated bed nets. Further studies on outdoor mosquito surveillance and bovine blood meal identification are required for the recommendation of suitable complementary vector control measures for the community.

Introduction: There is limited information about the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) disease in Latin-American countries. Our objective was to describe the clinical characteristics and outcomes of COVID-19 patients in Mexico.

Methodology: We conducted a retrospective cohort study with 333 consecutive patients who were admitted to Hospital de Especialidades "Dr. Antonio Fraga Mouret" in Mexico City with COVID-19 between April 1, 2020, and June 30, 2020. Demographic, clinical, laboratory data, treatment details and 30-day outcomes were analyzed.

Results: The patients studied included 52% men (172/233) and the median age was 45 years. Up to 75% (250/333) of patients were classified as overweight or obese. There were 185 (56%) inpatients; 85% (158/185) were hospitalized in the general ward, and 15% (27/185) in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Laboratory measurements showed significant differences between inpatients and outpatients such as lymphocyte-count (median 0.8 vs 1.2×109/L, p < 0.001), LDH (median 650 vs 294 U/L, p < 0.001), CRP (median 147 vs 5 mg/L, p = 0.007), CK-MB (median, 15 vs 10 U/L, p = 0.008), ferritin (median, 860 vs 392 ng/mL, p = 0.02), and D-dimer (median, 780 vs 600 ng/mL, p = 0.15). These differences were seen between survivor and non-survivor patients as well. The rate of death in mechanically ventilated patients was 94% (67/71). Mortality at 30-day follow-up was 57% (105/185).

Conclusions: We observed that majority of the non-survivors were obese and young. Complications leading to death was observed in majority of the cases.

Introduction: Tularemia is a zoonotic disease that primarily affects adults and children in rural areas. Late diagnosis in children is often associated with treatment failure and accessory surgical procedures.

Objective: To analyze the diagnostic and treatment options of pediatric tularemia during the last outbreak in Kosovo during years 2014 and 2015.

Methodology: This retrospective study includes 36 children treated for Tularemia at pediatric department. The diagnosis was based on clinical, serological, and PCR testing.

Results: Of the 230 patients treated for tularemia, 36 (16%) were children with a median age of 9.4 years old (range 2–15 years). Major clinical manifestations included fever (97%) and swelling of lymph glands (94%), and the duration of symptoms prior to hospitalization was two weeks (range 3-60 days). Leukocytosis (41%), along with an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (97%) characterized the laboratory findings. Both serology and PCR were used to confirm tularemia in children in 100% of cases. Due to abscess formation, suppuration, and high prevalence of tuberculosis, surgical procedures were used as accessory therapy and for diagnosis in half of the patients (50%). Gentamycin was the first drug of choice (97%), while 3 patients experienced relapses. Since the majority of the patients (72%) used unsafe water from wells in rural regions, the outbreak was thought to be water-related.

Conclusions: Every febrile child with swollen glands should be suspected of having tularemia. Gentamycin continues to be the preferred treatment for unilateral cervical glandular type. Successful therapy depends on early diagnosis and supplemental surgical procedures.

Introduction: Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) O157:H7 is associated with intestinal infection in humans and is considered an important cause of food-borne diseases. The aim of the study was to assess the incidence of E. coli O157:H7 in fecal samples of healthy cattle collected in slaughterhouses (n = 160) and from five farms (n = 100).

Methodology: E. coli isolates were detected on MacConkey agar. A total of 236 E. coli isolates were recovered from fecal samples of healthy cattle. We used sorbitol MacConkey medium to detect non-sorbitol fermenting colonies. These bacteria were examined for the presence of O157:H7 antigen by latex agglutination. The isolation of E. coli O157:H7 has been confirmed with PCR amplification of rfbEO157 and fliCH7 specific genes for serogroup O157 and with multiplex PCR of stx1, stx2, eaeA, and ehxA. All isolates were examined for their susceptibility to 21 antibiotics by the disc diffusion method.

Results: Of the 236 E. coli isolates, 4.2% (10/236) were positive for STEC O157:H7. Shiga toxin gene (stx2) and ehxA were present in 70% of isolates, stx1 and eae were confirmed in 60% of the isolates. Other virulence factors screened (fimH, sfa/focDE, cdt3, traT, iutA, and hlyA) were present among the 10 isolates. All E. coli O157:H7 isolates were sensitive to amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, cefotaxime, cefepime, aztreonam, colistin, and sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim. All isolates belong to the phylo-group E.

Conclusions: This is the first study of the incidence of E. coli O157:H7 in cattle in Tunisia. Our finding proves the existence of STEC O157:H7 in healthy animals producing food for human consumption which could be a source of food-borne disease.

Introduction: Chongqing is among the areas with the highest rubella incidence rates in China. This study aimed to analyze the temporal distribution characteristics of rubella and establish a forecasting model in Chongqing, which could provide a tool for decision-making in the early warning system for the health sector.

Methodology: The rubella monthly incidence data from 2004 to 2019 were obtained from the Chongqing Center of Disease and Control. The incidence from 2004 to June 2019 was fitted using the seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (SARIMA) model and the back-propagation neural network (BPNN) model, and the data from July to December 2019 was used for validation.

Results: A total of 30,083 rubella cases were reported in this study, with a significantly higher average annual incidence before the nationwide introduction of rubella-containing vaccine (RCV). The peak of rubella notification was from April to June annually. Both SARIMA and BPNN models were capable of predicting the expected incidence of rubella. However, the linear SARIMA model fits and predicts better than the nonlinear BPNN model.

Conclusions: Based on the results, rubella incidence in Chongqing has an obvious seasonal trend, and SARIMA (2,1,1) × (1,1,1) 12 model can predict the incidence of rubella well. The SARIMA model is a feasible tool for producing reliable rubella forecasts in Chongqing.
