Published: July 2024

This study aims to analyze the theme and thematic progression and compare both student’s and standardized descriptive texts. Additionally, the research would delve into the pedagogical implication in teaching a descriptive text. A text from a student of a senior high school in Semarang, Indonesia and a TOEFL Practice text were collected in the document analysis. Thematic analysis was done by applying SFL principles. The result showed that both texts employed textual and topical theme system mostly with model’s text using an interpersonal theme once. the student’s descriptive text had few missing themes which also indicated that it had grammatical mistakes that need to be given attention when teaching language to learners. Both texts served the thematic progression of zig-zag and reiteration as descriptive text aims to describe and identify an object. Although, the student had chosen few multiple patterns and seldom had no pattern in the text. Furthermore, the integration of thematic system studies and thematic development towards a descriptive text through modeling and construction activities can contribute greatly to providing substantial learning benefits to promote language proficiency and efficient communication skills.

Aim: To identify potentially adverse characteristics of atherosclerotic carotid plaque in terms of stroke risk.
Materials and Methods: The study is based on the analysis of US data obtained from 96 patients aged 47 to 84 years diagnosed with carotid stenosis. The patients were divided into 2 groups depending on the presence or absence of ischemic events. Examination methods: clinical, duplex US, brain MRI, statistical. In addition to the standard US criteria for the evaluation of carotid stenoses, superb microvascular imaging (SMI) and shear wave elastography (SWE) are used.
Results: Statistically significant association of the following characteristics of plaques with the presence of ipsilateral ischemia focus was established: maximum thickness (p = 0,04), presence of microvascularization according to SMI data (p = 0,02), degree of carotid stenosis (statistically significant in the right carotid circulation [p = 0,04]), stiffness of the plaque according to SWE data (significantly in the right carotid circulation [p = 0,001]), type of plaque echogenicity according to Gray-Weale-Geroulakos classification (on the right carotid artery; p = 0,04).
Conclusions: The presence of microvascularization according to SMI data and the low stiffness of the plaque according to SWE data can characterize the potential instability of the carotid plaque. These criteria should be added to the traditional US assessment of carotid plaques.

Published: July 2024

Aim: To evaluate the ultrasound criteria for venous thromboembolic complications in patients with thrombosis of varicose veins of the tributaries of the great saphenous vein (GSV).
Materials and Methods: The results of ultrasound examination of 52 patients with thrombosis of varicose veins of the tributaries of GSV were analyzed. The indicators of venous hemodynamics were compared with the control group (CG) (n=32).
Results: Varicose transformation of GSV and failure of its valvular apparatus were detected in 44 (84.6%) patients, in 8 (15.4%) patients the superficial venous highway was intact. Vertical reflux was diagnosed in varicose ectasia of GSV: local reflux in 14 (31.8%), widespread reflux in 14 (31.8%), and total reflux in 16 (36.4%) patients. The diameter of GSV in tributary varicothrombophlebitis was 8.9±0.27 mm (p<0.05 vs. CG) and 11.2±0.25 mm (p<0.05 vs. CG) in the horizontal and vertical positions, respectively. The proximal and distal borders of thrombosis exceeded the clinical ones by 15.26±1.21 cm (p<0.05) and 7.94±1.32 cm (p<0.05), respectively. The spread of tributary thrombophlebitis to the superficial venous highway was detected in 14 (26.9%) patients, among whom 12 (85.7%) patients had unfixed apices of thrombotic masses.
Conclusions: The results obtained convincingly demonstrate the need for early ultrasound examination of patients with tributary thrombophlebitis, which allows to identify the real limits of the thrombotic process, timely diagnose the transition of the thrombotic process to superficial and deep venous lines, effectively predict the risk of venous thromboembolic complications and choose the optimal surgical tactics.

Authors: Niemczyk Wojciech , Niemczyk Stanisław , Prokurat Monika , Grudnik Katarzyna , Migas Mateusz , Wągrowska Karolina , Lau Karolina , Kasperczyk Janusz
Published: July 2024

Gum recession is a common problem that in most cases does not cause any bothersome symptoms to the patient. They can affect people of any age and are most often diagnosed on the vestibular surfaces of the teeth. They are manifested by the exposure of part of the root through the apical migration of the gingival margin. Its etiology is not fully understood, but it is known that it consists of many factors. The authors discussed such factors as inflammation, gum biotype, patient’s age, mechanical and chemical damage, smoking, presence of tartar, cervical defects and their reconstruction, orthodontic treatment, occlusal overload and iatrogenic factors. Additionally, important risk factors also include genetic predispositions and abnormalities in the immune system. In addition, certain hygiene habits, such as improper brushing techniques or lack of regular check-ups at the dentist, may also contribute to the development of gum recession. Understanding the comprehensive nature of these factors is crucial to the effective treatment and prevention of this common condition. It is also worth taking into account the importance of educating patients on proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups to prevent gum recession.

Published: July 2024

Osteoarthritis is a significant socioeconomic illness that mainly affects the articular cartilage, a tissue with a low capacity for self-healing, making it an ideal target for regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. Current interventions to treat cartilage injuries may not be completely effective. In this study, we have developed a novel bioreactor that creates viscous shear stress by flow perfusion. This bioreactor could induce ex vivo maturation of biomimetic 3D cartilage scaffolds, providing a potential solution to this problem. Infrapatellar fat pad mesenchymal stem cells (IPFP-MSCs) were used as a cellular source of the functionalized 3D scaffolds made of 1,4-butanediol thermoplastic polyurethane (bTPUe) modified with pyrene butyric acid (PBA). Our results indicate that our bioreactor induced chondrogenic differentiation, as confirmed by DNA quantification, extracellular matrix determination, and metabolic assay, without any conditioned medium. To control the biomechanical stimulation on IPFP-MSCs, a low-intensity ultrasonic transmission system has been developed and embedded in the bioreactor. Combined with a finite element model (FEM), tissue growth and differentiation can be deconvoluted in real-time from the recorded ultrasonic propagation and interaction across the graft. The FEM reconstructs this complex interaction. This is the first time a low-shear stress-based bioreactor has been reported to not only induce chondrogenic evolution but also monitor it in real time.

We present a case of a 65-year-old male with lower respiratory tract infection who developed methemoglobinemia after starting dapsone therapy. The patient presented with cyanosis and dyspnea, and arterial blood gas analysis revealed a methemoglobin level of 14%. Dapsone was discontinued, and the patient was treated with methylene blue and Vitamin C IV infusion, which resulted in rapid improvement of symptoms and normalisation of methemoglobin levels. This case highlights the importance of recognizing dapsone-induced methemoglobinemia early and promptly initiating appropriate treatment to prevent complications.

Nanotechnology is a rapidly developing scientific discipline with promise for enhancing human well-being via its applications in nanomedicine. It describes the technology used to accurately manipulate atoms and molecules to create new materials with dimensions that are on the nanoscale. The usual size range of nanoparticles (NPs) is 1-100 nm. Since nanoparticles are important in preventing infections, they can be used as therapeutic nanocarriers having antibacterial properties. This paper reviews the literature on the various production techniques, characteristics, and biological uses of several nano-metal oxides (iron oxide, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, and cadmium oxide). The utilization of nanoparticles and their applications will grow due to the cost-effective ways available for biomodification. Because of their special qualities, nanoparticles are helpful in several scientific domains, including biology, materials science, engineering, electronics, and food science. Researchers have become interested in nanotechnology because of its benefits, particularly its potential uses in the healthcare system for improved diagnosis and treatment.

In various regions worldwide, especially in South Asia, the traditional use of the Kokum plant, scientifically known as Garcinia indica, has been prevalent for a long time. Kokum is recognized for its unique phytochemical composition, which includes anthocyanins, hydroxycitric acid, xanthochymol, ascorbic acid, and garcinol. Due to its antibacterial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties, Kokum is considered a valuable option for numerous medical purposes. The traditional use of kokum suggests that it has been an effective remedy for various ailments, and further research on microbiological targets and their potential applications in modern medicine or food preservation. Asthma is a substantial global health problem with increasing prevalence rates in many countries. Asthma prevalence in India had previously been estimated to be around 3% (30 million patients out of 300 million), with prevalence rates between 4% and 20% in children and 2.4% in individuals over the age of 15. It is expected to rise in the upcoming decades and is one of the main causes of illness and death in rural India. The aim of this study was to identify putative bioactive chemicals present in the kokum fruit and investigate their interactions with the Asthma proteins by molecular docking modelling. Anthocyanin had a docking score of -8.27 kcal/mol for 3rze, -8.28 kcal/mol for 7f61, and -6.31 kcal/mol for 7fy6. The consequence of Lipinski rule recommends that anthocyanin is the best curative drug for asthma. Docking results verify the application of anthocyanin as a potential and natural therapeutic agent to treat diseases. Further laboratory tests are necessary to confirm these experimental results, though.
