Use of AbobotulinumtoxinA in Adults with Cervical Dystonia: A Systematic Literature Review
Authors: Fasano Alfonso , Paramanandam Vijayashankar , Jog Mandar
Published: July 2020

Cervical dystonia (CD) is a neurological movement disorder characterized by sustained involuntary muscle contractions. First-line therapy for CD is intramuscular injections of botulinum neurotoxin (e.g., abobotulinumtoxinA) into the affected muscles. The objective of this systematic literature review is to assess the clinical evidence regarding the effects of abobotulinumtoxinA for treatment of CD in studies of safety, efficacy, patient-reported outcomes, and economic outcomes. Using comprehensive electronic medical literature databases, a search strategy was developed using a combination of Medical Subject Heading terms and keywords. Results were reviewed by two independent reviewers who rated the level of evidence. The search yielded 263 publications, of which 232 were excluded for being duplicate publications, not meeting the selection criteria, or failing to meet predefined eligibility criteria, leaving a total of 31 articles. Clinical efficacy, patient-reported outcomes, and safety data were in 6 placebo-controlled trials (8 articles), 6 active-controlled trials, and 16 observational studies (17 articles). Data on health economic outcomes were provided in one of the clinical trials, in two of the observational studies, and in one specific cost-analysis publication. This review demonstrated that the routine use of abobotulinumtoxinA in CD is well-established, effective, and generally well-tolerated, with a relatively low cost of treatment.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is among the most common and lethal human cancers worldwide. Despite curative resection, high recurrence of HCC remains a big threat, leading to poor patient outcomes. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) pre-S mutants, which harbor deletions over pre-S1 and pre-S2 gene segments of large surface proteins, have been implicated in HCC recurrence. Therefore, a reliable approach for detection of pre-S mutants is urgently needed for predicting HCC recurrence to improve patient survival. In this study, we used a next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based platform for quantitative detection of pre-S mutants in the plasma of HBV-related HCC patients and evaluated their prognostic values in HCC recurrence. We demonstrated that the presence of deletions spanning the pre-S2 gene segment and the high percentage of pre-S2 plus pre-S1 + pre-S2 deletions, either alone or in combination, was significantly and independently associated with poor recurrence-free survival and had greater prognostic performance than other clinicopathological and viral factors in predicting HCC recurrence. Our data suggest that the NGS-based quantitative detection of pre-S mutants in plasma represents a promising approach for identifying patients at high risk for HBV-related HCC recurrence after surgical resection in a noninvasive manner.

Helminth parasites release extracellular vesicles which interact with the surrounding host tissues, mediating host–parasite communication and other fundamental processes of parasitism. As such, vesicle proteins present attractive targets for the development of novel intervention strategies to control these parasites and the diseases they cause. Herein, we describe the first proteomic analysis by LC-MS/MS of two types of extracellular vesicles (exosome-like, 120 k pellet vesicles and microvesicle-like, 15 k pellet vesicles) from adult Schistosoma haematobium worms. A total of 57 and 330 proteins were identified in the 120 k pellet vesicles and larger 15 k pellet vesicles, respectively, and some of the most abundant molecules included homologues of known helminth vaccine and diagnostic candidates such as Sm-TSP2, Sm23, glutathione S-transferase, saponins and aminopeptidases. Tetraspanins were highly represented in the analysis and found in both vesicle types. Vaccination of mice with recombinant versions of three of these tetraspanins induced protection in a heterologous challenge (S. mansoni) model of infection, resulting in significant reductions (averaged across two independent trials) in liver (47%, 38% and 41%) and intestinal (47%, 45% and 41%) egg burdens. These findings offer insight into the mechanisms by which anti-tetraspanin antibodies confer protection and highlight the potential that extracellular vesicle surface proteins offer as anti-helminth vaccines.

Authors: Molina Rosa , Manno Giorgio , Lo Re Carlo , Anfuso Giorgio
Published: July 2020

This paper deals with the characterization and evolution of dune systems along the Mediterranean coast of Andalusia, in the South of Spain, a first step to assess their relevant value in coastal flood protection and in the determination of sound management strategies to protect such valuable ecological systems. Different dune types were mapped as well as dune toe position and fragmentation, which favors dune sensitivity to storms’ impacts, and human occupation and evolution from 1977 to 2001 and from 2001 to 2016. Within a GIS (Geographic Information System) project, 53 dune systems were mapped that summed a total length of ca. 106 km in 1977, differentiating three dune environments: (i) Embryo and mobile dunes (Type I), (ii) grass-fixed dunes (Type II) and (iii) stabilized dunes (Type III). A general decrease in dunes’ surfaces was recorded in the 1977–2001 period (−7.5 × 106 m2), especially in Málaga and Almería provinces, and linked to dunes’ fragmentation and the increase of anthropic occupation (+2.3 × 106 m2). During the 2001–2016 period, smaller changes in the level of fragmentation and in dunes’ surfaces were observed. An increase of dunes’ surfaces was only observed on stable or accreting beaches, both in natural and anthropic areas (usually updrift of ports).

Published: July 2020

Remote sensing technologies have been widely studied for the estimation of crop biometric and physiological parameters. The number of sensors and data acquisition methods have been increasing, and their evaluation is becoming a necessity. The aim of this study was to assess the performance of two remote sensing data for describing the variations of biometric and physiological parameters of durum wheat grown under different water regimes (rainfed, 50% and 100% of irrigation requirements). The experimentation was carried out in Policoro (Southern Italy) for two growing seasons. The Landsat 8 and Sentinel-2 images and radiometric ground-based data were acquired regularly during the growing season with plant biometric (leaf area index and dry aboveground biomass) and physiological (stomatal conductance, net assimilation, and transpiration rate) parameters. Water deficit index was closely related to plant water status and crop physiological parameters. The enhanced vegetation index showed slightly better performance than the normalized difference vegetation index when plotted against the leaf area index with R2 = 0.73. The overall results indicated that the ground-based vegetation indices were in good agreement with the satellite-based indices. The main constraint for effective application of satellite-based indices remains the presence of clouds during the acquisition time, which is particularly relevant for winter–spring crops. Therefore, the integration of remote sensing and field data might be needed to optimize plant response under specific growing conditions and to enhance agricultural production.

Published: July 2020

Groundwater is critical for supporting socioeconomic development but has experienced gradual decreases in recent decades due to rapid population growth and economic development throughout the world. In recent years, the utilization of transboundary groundwater resources has received extensive attention globally. Because transboundary aquifers do not follow borders and are concealed, neighboring countries are prone to experiencing conflicts over the use of these transboundary groundwater resources. Therefore, an accurate and comprehensive assessment of the development potential of groundwater resources in these transboundary aquifers is necessary for the rational and fair use of those groundwater resources. Transboundary groundwater resources are an important water source for life, production, and ecological water use in Central Asia, which has a distinctive continental arid and semi-arid climate, and surface water resources in this region are relatively scarce. Considering the existing problems related to the utilization of groundwater resources in the transboundary aquifers in this region, we propose developing strategies for on-demand water abstraction, enhancing the ecological protection of transboundary aquifers, and strengthening international cooperation. This paper summarizes the distribution of 34 transboundary aquifers in Central Asia and analyzes the status and potential of groundwater resource uses in these transboundary aquifers.
Seasonal and Diurnal Variation of Air/Water Exchange of Gaseous Mercury in a Southern Reservoir Lake (Cane Creek Lake, Tennessee, USA)
Authors: Crocker William C. , Zhang Hong
Published: July 2020

A year-long field study of mercury (Hg) air/water exchange was conducted at a southern reservoir lake, Cane Creek Lake (Cookeville, TN, USA). The Hg air/water exchange fluxes and meteorological data including solar radiation (global solar radiation, Rg and ultraviolent radiation, UVA), water and air temperatures, relative humidity, and wind speed were collected to study the daily and seasonal trends of the Hg air/water exchange at the lake in relation to solar radiation and wind speed. The Hg exchange fluxes generally exhibited diurnal patterns with a rise in the morning, a peak around noontime, and a fall in the afternoon through the evening, closely following the change of solar radiation. There were cases that deviated from this general daily trend. The Hg emission fluxes were all below 3 ng m−2 h−1 with the daily mean fluxes < 2 ng m−2 h−1. The fluxes in the summer (mean: 1.2 ng m−2 h−1) were higher than in the fall (mean: 0.6 ng m−2 h−1) and winter (mean: 0.7 ng m−2 h−1). The daily and seasonal trends of the Hg air/water exchange fluxes are similar to the trends of the changes of the dissolved gaseous mercury (DGM) concentrations in the lake observed in our previous study. Solar radiation was found to exert a primary control over the Hg air/water exchange, while wind speed appeared to have a secondary effect on the Hg exchange. The two-thin-film model was used to calculate Hg emission fluxes from the Cane Creek Lake water.

Authors: Baradei Sherine El , Sadeq Mai Al
Published: July 2020

Both energy and availability of water with good quality are essential for the well-being of humans. Thus, it is very important to study the parameters that would affect water quality, so as to come up with mitigation measures if water quality would be at risk or negatively affected. Moreover, it is very important to always search for new energy resources, especially if they are renewable. This research study is concerned with studying solar canals and their effect on evaporation and water quality variables of canals covered by solar cells, as well as the effect on power production. Both a mathematical model and an optimization study were done, in order to determine the previously mentioned effects, and thus, to determine the most favorable covering percentage of the case study canal’s area that would lead to minimum evaporation volumes, maximum power, and yet preserving and meeting the standards of the water quality variables of the covered waterway. Water quality variables that were investigated are dissolved oxygen concentration, algae, nutrients, and pH of the water. It was found that, between 33% and 50% covering of the canal, the optimum conditions will be met.

Authors: Edalatkhah Abbas , Jafari Mohammad Ali , Valizadeh Sima , Esmaeili Alireza , Zarepur Ehsan
Published: July 2020

Objective: Necrotizing fasciitis of the perinea, referred to as Fournier’s gangrene, is a necrotizing infection of the perinea. To the best of our knowledge, there is no report on the Fournier’s gangrene following an ant bite and this is a rare case report of this type. Case Presentation: In this rare case report we describe a 20-year-old man who developed Fournier’s gangrene following an ant bite which resulted in his death. He sustained numerous ant bites in the perinea. Subsequently, he suffered from itching of the area and had scratched the area frequently leading to dermal ulcers and laceration, pain, and swelling of the scrotal area followed by fever and diminished consciousness. Finally, he presented to the emergency room (ER) after 72 hours of ant bites with a shock. Physical examination revealed extensive necrosis of scrotum. The primary treatments including antibiotic therapy, normal saline solution, and dopamine were not effective. Conclusion: Even a simple nonpoisonous insect bite can lead to Fournier’s gangrene and death. Paying greater attention to the site of bite, especially in the perinea which is anatomically more susceptible to infection, observing hygienic principles, and quick access to healthcare centers may prevent the patient’s death.

Published: July 2020

The current coronavirus pandemic forces us to realize the significance of the careful utilization of financial and health-care resources. At the same time, it is important to ensure the ability of urologists to function through this crisis to provide essential and emergency services. With regards to urological procedures, a triage of non-emergent operations is hence recommended considering various disease-related factors. Case conduct should also be categorized based on the up-to-date information of the evolving national, regional and local conditions of this pandemic, as marked variation in these conditions can lead to significant differences in decision-making. Over the coming weeks and months, we are bound to face an increasingly difficult task of treating Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infected patients presenting with urological ailments. Instituting well-thought plans to perform the un-deferrable urological procedures and emergencies during this pandemic will go a long way in keeping the surgeons and health-care workers safe to perform essential duties.

Authors: Rybakova Natal'ya , Glazunov Yuriy
Published: July 2020

The results of an 18-year monitoring of the growth of European larch (Larixdecidua Mill.) in the zone of influence of the Moscow Ring Road (MKAD), one of the largest highways in the European part of Russia with a load of about 9 thousand cars per hour, are presented. The studies have been carried out on three trial plots located at 15, 35 and 100 m (control) from the highway. The morphometric parameters of European larch were determined 4, 8 and 18 years after planting four-year-old seedlings. Significant inhibition of European larch growth near the MKAD was revealed by height, trunk diameter, and crown parameters. The largest negative impact of the MKAD on its growth was manifested in the first 4 years after the creation of forest crops. The area of influence of the motorway on larch stands is about 40 m. Dendrochronological analysis of larch wood has showed that the total annual growth in the control section is significantly higher than in the area near the highway. Moreover, the growth of early wood in the area near the Moscow Ring Road is on average 23% higher than in the control one, the growth of late wood in the control area exceeds the growth in the area near the Moscow Ring Road by 34%. An analysis of the radial increment of European larch wood has showed that the growth of early wood is most closely related to the total amount of rainfall in May, June and July (correlation coefficient r = 0.33), of late wood to the amount of heat in August and September (r = - 0.44)

Published: July 2020

The entire solid-state world is crystalline and therefore mineral. The phenomenon of crystallization produces crystals (solid bodies), thus dissymmetrizing certain space, i.e., it orders and organizes the chaotic movement of atoms and molecules. Crystallization leads to both the formation of mineral crystals and complex mineral dissipative textures (self-organizing systems), some of which were named «living» objects. Both «living» and «inert» worlds represent a single mineral world, the study of which should be based on a similar methods of ontogeny.

Mineralogical-geochemical features of corundum
Miaskite-pegmatite from mine no. 210 (Ilmeny mountains, South Urals):
preliminary results
Authors: Rassomakhin M.A. , Sorokina E.S. , Somsikova A.V.
Published: July 2020

Miaskite-pegmatite of mine no. 210 exhibits an unusual mineral composition for the Ilmeny Mountains. It contains a signifcant amount of sapphire-like corundum (uncommon of nepheline-bearing pegmatites) and various Th-bearing minerals («thoro-aeschinite», pyrochlore, phosphates). Pegmatite has a zonal structure, in which the central nepheline and lateral feldspar zones difer in composition of rock-forming and accessory minerals. Corundum is found in all zones of pegmatite. Accessory minerals of the central, eastern, and western zones include (i) Ti-niobates (columbite, pyrochlore, srilankite), zircon, spinel and thorianite, (ii) columbite, pyrochlore and zircon, and (iii) columbite, «ilmenorutile», toro-aeschinite, monazite-La and Ce, and zircon, respectively. The calculations based on two-feldspar thermometer for diferent pegmatite zones show a decrease in temperature from the periphery toward the center, which is in agreement with the variability of mineral assemblages. Pegmatite is strongly altered, which is expressed in the formation of cancrinite and sodalite, hydration of pyrochlore of the central zone, and signifcant compositional changes of Ti-niobates in the lateral zones of pegmatite. The Rb-Sr age of corundum miaskite-pegmatite is ~275 Ma, but the Rb-Sr system is signifcantly destroyed. The initial 87Sr/86Sr(275) isotopic ratio and ?Nd(275) value of the mineral indicate its crustal formation conditions. The geochemistry of corundum points to its multistage crystallization. The data points on Fe vs. Ga / Mg and FeO – Cr2O3 – MgO – V2O3 vs. FeO + TiO2 + Ga2O3 plots correspond to both «magmatic» and «metasomatic» corundum.
SILENCE IN THE STRUCTURE OF LISTENING AS A TYPE OF SPEECH ACTIVITY (ON THE MATERIAL OF CONSTRUCTIVE SPEECH BEHAVIOR)
Authors: Kopylova T.R.
Published: July 2020

This article considers silence as an indispensable prerequisite for listening, a receptive type of speech activity. The study is based on the day-to-day discourse. This article explores dialogues with horizontal and vertical, as well as hierarchical types of interaction that determine the features of silence functioning in them. In communicative science they distinguish active, empathic and passive listening depending on the communicant’s intention, his/her attitude to the speaker’s point of view and status. The purpose of this work is to identify the most frequent combinations of silence with other elements of communication that can act as markers of one or another type of communication. Such combinations of null and materially expressed markers led us to conclusion that the type of listening corresponds to the type of constructive speech behavior - politeness or tolerance.

MOTIF OF SPIRITUAL “INITIATION” IN BORIS RYZHY’S POETRY
Authors: Darenskiy V.Yu.
Published: July 2020

The article is devoted to the analysis of existential meanings of Boris Ryzhy’s poetry. It is shown that his texts are saturated with the symbolism of radical personal transformation, which is traditionally denoted by the term “initiation” or the metaphor of “second birth”. They reveal an important archetypal meaning of the experience of symbolic death for the spiritual resurrection of man into a new life. “Death” as an artistic symbol represents the primary existential state of the meaningless and finite world; accordingly, the poetic text reflects the existential effort of struggle with death and human repose in Eternity. Due to this, B. Ryzhy’s poetic text stimulates the reader’s consciousness to go beyond everyday life and experience the “ultimate” existential meanings and States.

Authors: Ninta Tarigan Sylva Flora
Published: July 2020

ABSTRAK Faktor degenaratif (penuaan) dapat berdampak pada berbagai aspek kehidupan, baik aspek sosial, ekonomi, maupun kesehatan. Data Dinas Kesehatan Kabupaten Bone Bolango tahun 2017 menunjukkan bahwa 89,6% lansia tidak memanfaatkan pelayanan kesehatan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pemanfaatan pelayanan kesehatan pada lansia di wilayah kerja Kecamatan Tilongkabila ditinjau dari tingkat pengetahuan. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan adalah  survey analitik dengan rancangan cross sectional untuk menganalisis hubungan antara tingkat pengetahuan dengan pemanfaatan pelayanan kesehatan pada lansia di wilayah kerja Kecamatan Tilongkabila. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah seluruh lansia yang berumur 50 tahun yang mendapatkan pelayanan kesehatan di 4 desa dengan jumlah 1.190 orang. Sampel diperoleh sebanyak 299 orang yang diambil menggunakan teknik stratified random sampling. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara dengan menggunakan kuesioner. Analisis data menggunakan uji korelasi spearman rank. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa ada hubungan antara tingkat pengetahuan lansia dengan pemanfaatan pelayanan kesehatan (p=0,001), artinya pengetahuan sudah baik, namun masih ada yang belum mengikuti pelayanan kesehatan karena faktor jarak rumah. Diharapkan bagi petugas kesehatan lebih meningkatkan pengetahuan lansia melalui optimalisasi posyandu lansia.

Abstract—Recent trends in
the field of prosthetic technology are shifting towards all-digital approaches.
These digital technologies have the potential to augment the current models of
clinical healthcare and reach more amputees than currently possible.
Unfortunately, most of the equipment needed to design and build digitally
shaped prostheses is expensive or requires a high level of expertise. Objective:
This paper developed several methods to enable the digital fabrication of
prostheses using only low cost tools that do not require extensive specialized training.
Methods: The authors built a cell phone application in Android Studio
that enables automated collection of image data which can be rendered into
accurate 3D-models using photogrammetry on a remote server. They then developed
a new protocol to shape these residual limb models into functional prosthetic
sockets using the freely available software Autodesk Meshmixer. Results:
Finally, the authors ran a case study where they rectified a prosthetic socket for
an amputee and compared this model to a socket built by a clinician. Conclusion:
This case study showed that these new methods can successfully create accurate
and functional prosthetic sockets. Significance: By leveraging
ubiquitous low cost smartphone technology, the authors believe that amputees in
underserved areas, who currently face large barriers both in cost and physical
access to proper care, could soon be able to obtain affordable prosthetic limbs.

Slowing It Down: Embodied Complicity and the Challenges of Feminist Solidarity at the 2017 Beirut Workers’ Day March
Authors: Finn Allison
Published: July 2020

Complicity and coloniality are not abstract forces, but deeply personal experiences and questions. Through an ethnographic meditation of the 2017 Beirut Workers’ Day March, this paper explores how feminist activists, researchers, and advocates can openly work through moments in which we are complicit in oppression. Drawing on Sara Ahmed’s concept of encounter as method, the author reflects on the dynamics of solidarity, sponsorship, control, and privilege at the march, an annual event calling for the rights of migrant domestic workers and an end of the kafala (sponsorship) system in Lebanon, co-organized by migrant domestic worker activists, non-governmental organizations, and feminist communities. The paper contextualizes the encounter by defining the kafala system as a patriarchal state structure, proposes a distinction between “complicit feminisms” and moments of feminist complicity, and explores how coloniality infiltrates individual bodies and collective action. Then, the author relays her experience of embodied privilege and systems of control at the march, as a feminist supporter and volunteer member of the security team charged with keeping protestors safe. This paper builds on traditions of feminist self-critique and celebration, in analyzing the struggles and successes of solidarity between migrant domestic worker activists and feminist communities in Beirut. Complicity is inevitable when our bodies are markers of privilege, even when we are engaged in feminist, anti-racist, and anti-capitalist practices. This does not mean that we should uniformly retreat, but that we need to interrogate our good intentions and the way that power is constructed within our bodies, and adapt – tactically, individually, and collectively.

Authors: Priatna Endang , Rohayatin Titin , Irawaty Tinda
Published: July 2020

Pada tahun 2013, 2018, dan 2019 terjadi penangkapan terorisme di Kota Cimahi. Kota Cimahi dianggap rawan menjadi tempat persembunyian teroris. Maka penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengawasan Pemerintah Daerah Kota Cimahi dalam penanggulangan terorisme. Metode penelitian yang digunakan yaitu desktiptif dengan pendekatan kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Pemerintah DaerahKota Cimahi dalam penanggulangan terorisme, melalui Kantor Kesatuan Bangsa dan Politik (Kesbangpol) Kota Cimahi bersinergi dengan pihak kepolisian dan juga masyarakat Kota Cimahi. Melalui Forum Kewaspadaan Dini Masyarakat, Kesbangpol bersama dengan pihak kepolisian, memberi edukasi kepada masyarakat terkait radikaslime dan terorisme. Baik pihak Kesbapol dan kepolisian, telah memiliki SDM yang berkompeten dalam pengawasan. Hanya saja sejauh ini yang menjadi kekurangan adalah terkait kuantitas dari SDM di kepolisian. Perencanaan pengawasan dalam penanggulangan terorisme di Kota Cimahi dilakukan dengan pemetaan tugas kepada masing-masing unit yang ada di kepolisian. Anggaran khusus untuk penanganan terorisme belum ada. Jadi, kesimpulannya adalah pengawasan penanggulangan di Pemerintah Kota Cimahi dilakukan dengan cara mengajak masyarakat untuk melihat lingkungan sekitarnya, dan apabila ada hal yang mencurigakan bisa langsung melaporkan kepada Pemerintah atau pihak kepolisian.
