Published: April 2023

Control system performance engineering is aimed at meeting predetermined specifications, for example, accuracy, response speed to steady-state, spike (maximum overshoot) and steady-state error. In general, designers calculate how much Gain is given to the system to obtain a predetermined performance specification. In general, to calculate the Gain is done by using the Trial Error technique. The Pole Placement method explains that a system is said to be stable if and only if the poles of its characteristic equation are to the left of the imaginary axis in the s-plane. Therefore, it is always strived for the location of the poles to have a certain pattern to obtain the desired performance. For a fully controlled system, the selection of the desired pole position can be done arbitrarily through the feedback element. Pole placement can be done using a state feedback control signal. The location and arrangement of the roots (poles) will determine the performance characteristics of a system. To change the performance of a system can be used with state variable feedback (State variable feedback), which can be done easily. To find out how much Gain value is needed, it can be known by using the Pole Placement Method in which the State Feedback Matrix Gain is determined by the T Transformation Matrix, namely by determining the coefficient value of the polynomial characteristic equation of the plant matrix.

The role of participation in the implementation of village development is a very important component for the success of the village development program. So that community participation can run optimally. Therefore, the village government should play an active role in developing community participation in the implementation of development programs. The purpose of this study is to find out how community participation in the implementation of village development is to optimize community welfare. This study uses a qualitative descriptive research method using interview and observation techniques. This study uses "key informants, main informants and additional informants".

The result shows that the process of community participation in the implementation of village development is quite good, starting from decision making, implementation of development and evaluation of development. Where the community already has the responsibility in village development, participates in the implementation and participates in the evaluation of development. But there are factors that hinder the process of community participation in the implementation of village development, namely the village government does not have the ability to explain to the community what development will be carried out so that people do not understand and do not understand which results in people not wanting to participate in village development.

The conclusion from the results of this study is that community participation in the implementation of village development in Bandar Klippa Village is quite good, as can be seen from the enthusiasm of the community in implementing village development.

General elections are a means of upholding people's justice and this is the only process to build a country's political ethics. In elections, citizens are given as much freedom as possible and guaranteed by the constitution to express their political aspirations. Through elections, citizens will come to the polls and have been regulated by the state through special regulations regarding general elections. Citizens will give their political rights so that in the future a government structure will be created that will organize state governance for public services and accelerate development. The problem is, is an election valid if the citizen's participation is minimal or far from what we expect? Like the term white group (abstentions) where citizens are very passive and do not give their political rights. We will enter the political year and the 2024 elections are getting closer. Can the abstentions increase or decrease? This is certainly a very relevant question so that the legality of elections can be better because every citizen's political election participation is a supporting factor for the success of elections.

What Makes News Sharable on Social Media?
Authors: Chen Xi , Pennycook Gordon , Rand David
Published: April 2023

With the rise of social media, everyone has the potential to be both a consumer and producer of online content. Although one might assume that people share news because they believe it to be true, worldwide concerns about the spread of misinformation suggest that truthfulness may not be a dominant driver of sharing online. Across three studies (total N=4,786), we investigate what content dimensions are associated with social media sharing intentions for a wide range of news headlines. When we examine the relationships between content dimensions using factor analysis, we consistently find separate factors capturing perceived accuracy and evocativeness. The perceived accuracy factor was positively correlated with both sharing intentions and the headline’s objective veracity. However, while the evocativeness factor was also positively correlated with sharing intentions, it was consistently negatively correlated with the headline’s objective veracity.

Authors: Mahyuni Mahyuni , Topan Muhammad
Published: April 2023

Indonesia's forest management is still unable to fulfill the constitutional mandate, thus driving the rate of forest degradation and deforestation. This very high damage occurred in the concession area, therefore forest management in customary lands must be returned to indigenous peoples who do have constitutional rights. Furthermore, based on previous research conducted by the World Resource Institute, forest management under the control of indigenous peoples runs more effectively than forest management outside the scope of adat and can reduce the rate of forest deforestation. The purpose of this research is to answer 2 (two) main issues, namely; (1) Analyzing forest protection based on local laws of the Dayak Kotabaru indigenous people on environmental sustainability; (2) Finding a forest protection model based on the local law of the Dayak Kotabaru indigenous people in Kalimantan Selatan. The research method used in the first year is an empirical research method that examines the forest protection model based on local laws of the indigenous Dayak community in Kalimantan Selatan. In the second year, using the socio-legal research, discovered the concept of regional policies in forest management based on the values ??contained in the local legal system of the Dayak indigenous people in Kalimantan Selatan.

Carbon emissions and radiative forcings from tundra wildfires in the Yukon–Kuskokwim River Delta, Alaska
Authors: Moubarak Michael , Sistla Seeta , Potter Stefano , Natali Susan M. , Rogers Brendan M.
Published: April 2023

Abstract. Tundra environments are experiencing elevated levels of wildfire, and the
frequency is expected to keep increasing due to rapid climate change in the
Arctic. Tundra wildfires can release globally significant amounts of
greenhouse gasses that influence the Earth's radiative balance. Here we
develop a novel method for estimating carbon loss and the resulting
radiative forcings of gaseous and aerosol emissions from the 2015 tundra
wildfires in the Yukon–Kuskokwim Delta (YKD), Alaska. We paired burn depth
measurements using two vegetative reference points that survived the fire
event – Sphagnum fuscum and Dicranum spp. – with measurements of local organic matter and soil carbon
properties to estimate total ecosystem organic matter and carbon loss. We
used remotely sensed data on fire severity from Landsat 8 to scale our
measured losses to the entire fire-affected area, with an estimated total
loss of 2.04 Tg of organic matter and 0.91 Tg of carbon and an average loss
of 3.76 kg m−2 of organic matter and 1.68 kg m−2 of carbon in the
2015 YKD wildfires. To demonstrate the impact of these fires on the Earth's
radiation budget, we developed a simple but comprehensive framework to
estimate the radiative forcing from Arctic wildfires. We synthesized
existing research on the lifetime and radiative forcings of gaseous and
aerosol emissions of CO2, N2O, CH4, O3 and its
precursors, and fire aerosols. The model shows a net positive cumulative
mean radiative forcing of 3.67 W m−2 using representative concentration pathway (RCP) 4.5 and 3.37 W m−2
using RCP 8.5 at 80 years post-fire, which was dominated by CO2
emissions. Our results highlight the climate impact of tundra wildfires,
which positively reinforce climate warming and increased fire frequency
through the radiative forcings of their gaseous emissions.
Emulating lateral gravity wave propagation in a global chemistry-climate model (EMAC v2.55.2) through horizontal flux redistribution

Published: April 2023

Abstract. The columnar approach of gravity wave (GW) parameterisations in weather and climate models has been identified as a potential reason for dynamical biases in middle atmospheric dynamics. For example, GW momentum flux (GWMF) discrepancies between models and observations at 60° S arising through the lack of horizontal orographic GW propagation is suspected to cause deficiencies in representing the Antarctic polar vortex. However, due to the decomposition of the model domains onto different computing tasks for parallelisation, communication between horizontal grid boxes is computationally extremely expensive, making horizontal propagation of GWs unfeasible for global chemistry-climate simulations. To overcome this issue, we here present a simplified solution approximating horizontal GW propagation through redistribution of the GWMF at one single altitude by means of tailor-made redistribution maps. To generate the global redistribution maps averaged for each grid box, we use a parameterisation describing orography as a set of mountain ridges with specified location, orientation and height combined with a ray-tracing model describing lateral propagation of so-generated mountain waves. In the global chemistry-climate model (CCM) EMAC (ECHAM MESSy Atmospheric Chemistry), these maps then allow us to redistribute the GW momentum flux horizontally at one level obtaining an affordable overhead of computing resources. The results of our simulations show GWMF and drag patterns which are horizontally more spread-out than with the purely columnar approach, GWs now also are present above the ocean and regions without mountains. In this paper, we provide a detailed description of how the redistribution maps are computed and how the GWMF redistribution is implemented in the CCM. Moreover, an analysis shows why 15 km is the ideal altitude for the redistribution. First results with the redistributed orographic GWMF provide clear evidence that the redistributed GW drag in the Southern Hemisphere has the potential to modify and improve Antarctic polar vortex dynamics, thereby paving the way for enhanced credibility of CCM simulations and projections of polar stratospheric ozone.
A neural network-based method for generating synthetic 1.6 μm near-infrared satellite images
Authors: Baur Florian , Scheck Leonhard , Stumpf Christina , Köpken-Watts Christina , Potthast Roland
Published: April 2023

Abstract. This study presents an extension to the method for fast satellite image synthesis (MFASIS) to allow simulating reflectances for the 1.6 μm near-infrared channel based on a computationally efficient neural network with improved accuracy. Such a fast forward operator enables using 1.6 μm channels from different satellite instruments in applications like model evaluation or operational data assimilation. It thus paves the way for the exploitation of additional information at this frequency, e.g. on cloud phase and particle sizes, which is complementary to the visible and thermal infrared range. To achieve similar accuracy for 1.6 μm NIR as for the visible channels 0.4–0.8 μm, it is important to represent vertical gradients of effective cloud particle radii, as well as mixed-phase clouds and molecular absorption. A comprehensive dataset sampled from IFS forecasts is used to develop the method. A new approach for describing the complex vertical cloud structure with a two layer model of water, ice and mixed-phase clouds optimized to obtain small reflectance errors is described and the relative importance of the different input parameters describing the idealized profiles is analyzed. Additionally, a different parameterization of the effective water and ice particle radii was used for testing. Further evaluation uses a month of ICON-D2 hindcasts with effective radii directly determined by the two-moment microphysics scheme of the model. The fast neural network approach itself does not add any significant additional error compared to the profile simplifications. In all cases, the mean absolute reflectance error achieved is about 0.01 or smaller, which is an order of magnitude smaller than typical differences between reflectance observations and corresponding model values.
Evaluating wind profiles in a numerical weather prediction model with Doppler lidar
Authors: Pentikäinen Pyry , O'Connor Ewan J. , Ortiz-Amezcua Pablo
Published: April 2023

Abstract. We use Doppler lidar wind profiles from six locations around the globe to evaluate the wind profile forecasts in the boundary layer generated by the operational global Integrated Forecast System (IFS) from the European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). The six locations selected cover a variety of surfaces with different characteristics (rural, marine, mountainous urban, and coastal urban). We first validated the Doppler lidar observations at four locations by comparison with co-located radiosonde profiles to ensure that the Doppler lidar observations were of sufficient quality. The two observation types agree well, with the mean absolute error (MAE) in wind speed almost always less than 1 m s−1. Large deviations in the wind direction were usually only seen for low wind speeds and are due to the wind direction uncertainty increasing rapidly as the wind speed tends to zero. Time–height composites of the wind evaluation with 1 h resolution were generated, and evaluation of the model winds showed that the IFS model performs best over marine and coastal locations, where the mean absolute wind vector error was usually less than 3 m s−1 at all heights within the boundary layer. Larger errors were seen in locations where the surface was more complex, especially in the wind direction. For example, in Granada, which is near a high mountain range, the IFS model failed to capture a commonly occurring mountain breeze, which is highly dependent on the sub-grid-size terrain features that are not resolved by the model. The uncertainty in the wind forecasts increased with forecast lead time, but no increase in the bias was seen. At one location, we conditionally performed the wind evaluation based on the presence or absence of a low-level jet diagnosed from the Doppler lidar observations. The model was able to reproduce the presence of the low-level jet, but the wind speed maximum was about 2 m s−1 lower than observed. This is attributed to the effective vertical resolution of the model being too coarse to create the strong gradients in wind speed observed. Our results show that Doppler lidar is a suitable instrument for evaluating the boundary layer wind profiles in atmospheric models.

Maintain the study of crisis management and effective communication methods within the scope of guidance work in this study training process. The elements that make up the educational institution are the management school, teacher, student and institution bodies. Educational institutions include many people with different backgrounds, identities, cultures, understandings and perception skills. Therefore, they are crisis facilities for a space that contains so many different components. Because it is very difficult to answer all these people and satisfy them all at the same time. The school administration consists of the school principal and vice principals, and this team is responsible for school administration and administrative affairs. When this team becomes inadequate and dysfunctional, an environment suitable for crisis occurs. The inability of the managers to understand the main lines of protection and to produce appropriate solutions for the situation, the existing and scattered analysis of the management, and the inability to use the available resources correctly pave the way for crises. In order to manage the crisis well within the scope of school guidance studies, it is necessary to maintain both internal communication and communication with the school environment. Thus, it can collect and mobilize the necessary information for the crisis. The management staff, on the other hand, achieves effective and good results in crisis management with the team spirit established during the training process. Because crisis management is a team work. The school administration continues to evolve during this time. Keywords: Educational Institution, Guidance, Crisis Management, Effective Communication

Zorunlu veya isteğe bağlı olmasına bakılmaksızın göç olgusu, fiziki bir hareketlilik olarak tanımlansa da göçmenler beraberinde kimliklerini ve kültürlerini de taşımaktadırlar. Dolayısıyla bu yönüyle göç olgusu, bir kültür ve kimlik hareketliliğini de ifade etmektedir. Bu sebeple çeşitli nedenlerden dolayı yer değiştirmiş göçmen ve onları misafir eden yerel toplumların ilk karşılaşma anları, bu karşılaşma anlarında yaşamış oldukları deneyimler, devam eden göç sürecinin önemli bir parçasını oluşturmaktadır. Bu karşılaşmada çeşitli uyum ve çatışma alanları ortaya çıkabilmekte ve bu alanlar zamanla değişim ve dönüşüme uğramaktadır. Göçmen ve yerel toplumların ilk karşılaşma anı gelecek açısından ele alınması gereken önemli bir çalışma alanı olarak ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu çalışma, 2011 yılında zorunlu nedenlerden dolayı Türkiye’ye doğru başlayan Suriye kitlesel göçüne, bu göç dalgası sürecinde yaşanan ilk karşılaşma deneyimlerine ve değişen algılara odaklanmaktadır. Bu kapsamda Harran Üniversitesi öğrencileri örnekleminde; sekiz yerel genç öğrenci ve Türkiye’ye zorunlu göç ile göç etmiş sekiz Suriyeli öğrenci ile ilk karşılaşma deneyimleri ve değişen algılar üzerine yarı-yapılandırılmış görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Görüşmelerden elde edilen bulgular Erving Goffman ve Zygmunt Bauman teorileri bağlamında “Karma Temaslar, Gruplaşma, Damga ve Belirsizlik” başlıkları altında ele alınmıştır. Zorunlu göç sürecinin ilk yıllarında hem yerel hem de sığınmacı toplumda herhangi bir gruplaşmanın olmadığı, özellikle yerel toplumda dayanışma ve empatinin hâkim olduğu durumlar saptanmıştır. Fakat süreç içerisinde sığınmacı ve yerel toplumlar arasında çeşitli sıkıntıların yaşandığı; biz ve onlar gruplarının oluşmaya başladığı görülmüştür. Bu durum beraberinde sığınmacı bireylere karşı damgalama pratiklerine sebep olmuştur. Bütün bunlarla beraber her iki toplum arasında karşılıklı olarak doğru zannedilen yanlışların karşılıklı ayrışma ve ötekileştirme süreçlerini hızlandırdığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Background: Vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) therapy also called negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is an emerging therapeutic option for diabetic foot ulcers. So, the current study intends to compare vacuum-assisted closure therapy and conventional open therapy in diabetic foot ulcers. Methods: A prospective case-control study was conducted and 54 patients were randomly allotted into 2 groups during the study period. The cases group includes patients undergone VAC therapy and the control group includes patients undergone conventional open therapy. Results: Patients in Group A had fewer positive wound cultures and secondary amputations as compared to Group B. VAC therapy was found to considerably improve the meantime to complete wound healing (24.22 days vs. 32.66 days). Secondary amputations were performed on 0% of patients in group A and 11.11 percent of patients in group B. The average hospital stay for group A was 20.33 days and 26.77 days for group B. Conclusion: When compared to standard dressing, VAC treatment considerably lowers the time to complete wound healing, accelerates granulation tissue production, and reduces ulcer area. The VAC treatment group had no significant increase in bleeding or infection, ac-cording to the research.

Depression and anxiety disorders are the most common mental illnesses and account for much of the disease burden. They affect an individual at some point in the life span having direct impact on overall health affecting a person’s daily life. Although these are common disorders, they can also be quite serious and in most cases are highly or completely treatable. Despite the magnitude of the problem, scarcity of psychiatrists coupled with lack of awareness in the general population, result in most patients not receiv-ing adequate treatment. A lot of patients approach primary health care physicians seeking treatment for some somatic symptoms of depression or anxiety. Given sufficient sensitization and training, they can facilitate early identification and ensure proper treatment. Furthermore, the decisions regarding response and duration of treatment and need for adjunctive therapy or alternative medication can be made in conjunction with a team of mental health care providers.

Published: April 2023

Background: Internet addiction generally refers to an individual’s incapability to control the use of the internet including any online-affiliated compulsive behaviour, which ultimately causes marked distress and functional impairment in daily life. The word “addiction” has usually been associated with substance but severe dependence and addictive patterns have led to the surfacing of the new word “Internet Addiction”. Internet addiction is a unique and attractive subject considered as a behaviour-based addiction in recent years. Objectives: To study and compare internet addiction among medical and engineering students. Methods: Cross-sectional study was conducted among students from local medical and engineering colleges, using the Youngs Internet Addiction Test, a reliable and valid measure of addictive use of the Internet, consisting of twenty items that measure the magnitude of Internet Addiction. Results: Among 514 medical students, 25% were normal, 48% had mild addiction, 23% has moderate addiction and 4% were severely addicted to non-academic purpose usage of the internet. Among 623 engineering students, 20% were normal, 53% had mild addiction, 22% had moderate addiction, and 5% were severely addicted. In our present study, engineering students showed more internet addiction than medical students. Conclusion: Poor academic activity, poor integration in extracurricular activities, and other problems due to excessive Internet use, require strategies to be developed and implemented to treat pathological Internet usage.

Published: April 2023

The management of Common Mental Disorders (CMDs) in the Indian context is a complex issue and India has constrained mental health services infrastructure in District Mental Health Programme (DMHP) setting. Mental health interventions should be specific and feasible and relevant in the Indian population. DMHP is an important tier and bridged the gap between the tertiary care centres and the primary health care centres. Mindfulness-based interventions are effective in the management of common mental disorders in the community setting. Mindfulness based Cognitive therapy would reduce depressive relapse in patients. Mindfulness skills improves effective self-regulation of anxiety related cognition, emotion, sensation and behaviour. In DMHP training framework of mindfulness skills based sub-modules, mindfulness-based stress reduction, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) modules could be incorporated. This framework targets relationship to thoughts and feelings (both physical and emotional) via decentring. This framework which is a practical, feasible strategy in the management of CMDs in DMHP setting of various states in India. Developing a need-based mindfulness-based interventions framework would be instru-mental in guiding the planning and prioritization of mental health care in India in 21st century

Understanding the effect and extent of diagenesis on the isotopic compositions of Sr in marine carbonates is a critical prerequisite for their use to unravel past environments. Here, we explore the dominant controls on carbonate 87Sr/86Sr of a Late Ordovician section from the Monitor Range, USA. Our results reveal a distinct increase in 87Sr/86Sr from 0.70794 to 0.70830 in the mid-upper D. ornatus zone, which is markedly higher than the published datasets of contemporaneous samples with a relatively lower and stable 87Sr/86Sr ratio of ~0.7079. These elevated 87Sr/86Sr ratios suggest a local and post-depositional overprint and cannot be interpreted to reflect the 87Sr/86Sr of the coeval seawater. Furthermore, 87Sr/86Sr exhibits statistically significant positive correlations with geochemical indicators for diagenesis ([Mn], [Fe], Mn/Sr, Fe/Sr), indicating that diagenetic alteration is the principal control on the observed radiogenic 87Sr/86Sr values. Using a numerical model of marine diagenetic fluid-rock interaction, we demonstrate that the observed Sr isotopic and elemental data can be best explained by the chemical variations in bulk carbonates associated with diagenetic alteration. Our results highlight that diagenesis may significantly alter the pristine 87Sr/86Sr ratios of carbonates than previously thought, although the samples satisfy the stricter geochemical criteria of Sr isotope preservation ([Sr] > 300 ppm, [Mn] < 300 ppm, [Fe] < 1000 ppm, Mn/Sr < 0.2, Fe/Sr < 1.6), pointing to the need for more caution when using bulk carbonate 87Sr/86Sr as a tracer of paleoenvironmental changes.

El Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) es una bacteria en forma de espiral o en S que se encuentra en la mucosa que recubre el estómago, daña el tejido estomacal y duodenal, causando inflamación y úlceras. El descubrimiento del Helicobacter en 1982 y su implicación clínica en las enfermedades gastrointestinales ha sido considerado uno de los principales hallazgos de la gastroenterología.

La Agencia Internacional para la Investigación del Cáncer (IARC) demostró la asociación entre la infección por Helicobacter pylori y el cáncer gástrico. A pesar de que se ha observado una disminución general de la incidencia de este cáncer, sigue siendo el cuarto tipo más común y la segunda causa de muerte por cáncer en todo el mundo.

El Helicobacter afecta a cerca de dos tercios de la población mundial y su prevalencia está fuertemente relacionada con las condiciones socioeconómicas. En países en vía de desarrollo, afecta a más de 80% de los adultos en contraste con el 20% en países desarrollados.

Hemoglobinopatías es el término médico que designa a un grupo de trastornos que afectan a las células rojas de las sangre. El estado homocigoto para la hemoglobina S es la forma más común y severa, aunque también se incluyen heterocigotos compuestos para la hemoglobina S

Se realizó un estudio observacional, descriptivo y transversal donde se exponen los resultados de 25 años del programa de pesquisaje prenatal de hemoglobinopatías SS y SC en la provincia Villa Clara, Cuba, en el período comprendido de 1988 a 2012.

Se diagnosticaron 4 660 embarazadas portadoras de estas hemoglobinopatías y se estudiaron 4 193 cónyuges. Se identificaron 144 parejas de alto riesgo y 126 de ellas aceptaron procedimientos de diagnóstico prenatal. Se diagnosticaron 24 fetos afectados, de los cuales en 17 casos la pareja decidió la interrupción electiva de la gestación. La tasa de prevalencia ajustada de estas hemoglobinopatías en Villa Clara durante el periodo estudiado fue de 0,95 por 10 000 nacidos vivos.

Los papilomas orales son lesiones benignas provocadas por el virus del papiloma humano, que infectan las células epiteliales basales de la piel y las mucosas. Las lesiones orales causadas por la infección del virus del papiloma humano incluyen el papiloma escamoso, la verruga vulgar, el condiloma acuminado y la hiperplasia epitelial multifocal.

Se presenta el caso de un paciente de 16 años con papilomas orales, con una presentación simultánea de papilomas escamosos a nivel de la lengua y una hiperplasia epitelial multifocal en la mucosa labial y retrocomisural. El manejo terapéutico fue realizado en la cátedra de Cirugia Bucal en el quirófano de la Clinica Odontológica de la Universidad del Valle Sede La Paz.

Después de obtener el consentimiento escrito por parte del paciente, se procedió a la biopsia excisional de las lesiones. El examen histopatológico mostr6 un epitelio plano estratificado no queratinizado, con disposición papilar y alteración de la polaridad por presencia de células displásicas y coilocitos que ocupan un tercio del espesor del epitelio, estroma fibromuscular e infiltrado inflamatorio linfocitario disperso.

El profesional del área de la salud debe estar familiarizado con los papilomas orales, para poder identificarlos, evitar contagios y la extensión de los mismos a otros sectores de la cavidad oral y para realizar el tratamiento oportuno de estas lesiones.

KIKUCHI-FUJIMOTO DISEASE: THE FIRST CLINICAL OBSERVATION OF A RARE CASE IN KAZAKHSTAN
Authors: Selivanov M. , Turgunova L. , Zinchenko A. , Bruner O.
Published: April 2023

Relevance: Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD), also known as histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis, is a rare underlying cause of benign lymphadenopathy, typically accompanied by fever and fatigue. Diagnosing this rare condition causes difficulties. Even though more than half a century has passed since the first described case, KFD is still hard to diagnose. Therefore it is of utmost importance to perform all the necessary diagnostic tests to avoid misdiagnosing and prescribing the wrong and often too-aggressive treatment. This article describes the first clinical case of KFD in the Republic of Kazakhstan.
The study aimed to share the clinical course and the specifics of a diagnostic search involving histological and immunohistochemical tests in KFD.
Methods: The paper describes a clinical case of KFD.
Results: We reported a case of KFD in a 35-year-old man who applied for cervical lymphadenopathy and fever. The diagnosis was made on histological and immunohistochemical analysis of a lymph node. Rapid regression of lymphadenopathy marked the evolution of the disease.
Conclusion: This clinical observation describes a rare case of KFD; its cases have not been previously described in Kazakhstan. KFD is prone to the benign course and spontaneous regression. However, difficulties remain in KFD diagnosis since symptoms such as lymphadenopathy and fever more often resemble lymphoma or tuberculosis. Non-tumor lymphadenopathy can also produce high metabolic activity manifested by an intensive accumulation of radiopharmaceuticals, according to PET-CT. Clinicians should be highly suspicious of KFD in young patients with cervical lymphadenopathy and fever to avoid misdiagnosis.
