Treatment of thyroid dysfunction in a medical specialist’s office – the role of levothyroxine
Authors: Bornikowska Katarzyna , Zgliczyński Wojciech
Published: January 2022

Synthetic levothyroxine is the first line treatment for hypothyroidism, one of the most common endocrine disorders, independently its cause, in all age groups. The Polish Endocrinological Society, together with European Thyroid Association, American Thyroid Association and American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists, do not recommend the use of dried thyroid preparations, triiodothyronine or combined preparations of thyroxine with triiodothyronine. The objective of treatment is to achieve biochemical and clinical euthyroidism monitored by TSH and/or FT4 levels. The daily dose of levothyroxine depends on many factors, including the etiology and severity of hypothyroidism, age, body weight, pregnancy and comorbidities. Routinely, levothyroxine is administered on an empty stomach at least 30 minutes before breakfast (ATA 2014 recommend up to 60 minutes interval between meal and taking the drug). Levothyroxine can also be used in combination therapy in Graves’ disease. Currently, the routine use of synthetic sodium levothyroxine in patients with multinodular goiter is not recommended because it increases the risk of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women and atrial fibrillation in patients after 60 year of life.

Published: January 2022

Diabetes mellitus type-2 is a transformation of insulin function in peripheral tissues or disorders of pancreatic Î² cells. The combination of glycation and glucose oxidation in type 2 DM patients results in the formation of AGEs which can result in oxidative stress. One of the efforts to reduce oxidative stress is the use of natural ingredients as a source of antioxidants. For example, bitter melon (Momordica Charantia) and snakehead fish (Channa Striata) extracts. The combination of bitter melon and snakehead fish extracts against AGEs levels is still limited and has only been tested on Wistar rats and mice. This study aims to determine how much effect the combination of bitter melon and snakehead fish extracts has on AGEs levels in type-2 DM patients. This study was clinical experimental randomized double blind control trial. The experiment conducted at Purwosari Public Health Center, Surakarta and the examination of AGEs levels was in the Clinical Pathology Laboratory of Dr Moewardi Surakarta from July to August 2020. Comparative analysis if the results were normally distributed, in pairs, numerical data and consists of 2 groups then use the paired sample t-test. The results were significant if p

Published: January 2022

The Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) and procalcitonin are used to indicate systemic inflammation in variousmedical disorders. Both parameters were determined in this study to predict the severity of acute pancreatitis. This studywas a cross-sectional study using a retrospective approach to patients diagnosed with acute pancreatitis by using medicalrecord data from patients at Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusoso Hospital, Makassar, from January 2014 to May 2019. This studycomprised 35 patients hospitalized with acute pancreatitis, with a similar proportion of males and females. This studydiscovered that the mean age in this study was 44.17±12.9 years. The most prevalent cause was Gallstones (77.1%), themost severe degree was mild (54.2%), and the highest outcome was survival (77.1%). The NLR (9.93±11.19, p=0.011)increased in proportion to severity. However, additional analysis based on classification of disease severity revealed thatonly mild-severe NLR was significant (p=0.005). Procalcitonin (8.13±11.25, p=0.001) increased along with the increaseddisease severity, and the subsequent analysis showed that the distribution of severity was similar. The NLR can predict theseverity of acute pancreatitis but is less effective than procalcitonin. This study required a more proportional subjectpopulation and consideration of other factors.

Published: January 2022

The use of anticoagulants is one of the important pre-analytic factors in hematological tests. Both dipotassium (K2) andtripotassium (K3) Ethylene Diamine Tetraacetic Acid (EDTA) are widely used anticoagulants. International CouncilStandardization of Hematology (ICSH) and several researchers recommend the use of K2 EDTA due to its less hyperosmolareffect on blood cells compared to K3 EDTA. This study aimed to compare the results of Complete Blood Count (CBC) andErythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) using anticoagulant K2 EDTA and K3 EDTA. This study was an analytic observationalstudy with a cross-sectional design conducted from April to December 2018. The subject of the study were 103 healthyadults selected by consecutive sampling. Blood samples were collected in both anticoagulant tubes with a volume of 3 mLeach. Samples were tested twice, in the first 0 hours and the next 6 hours using Sysmex XN 1000 and Alifax Roller 20 LC.Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, paired T-test and Wilcoxon rank test were used for statistical analysis. The agreement testbetween both anticoagulants was carried out using the Bland Altman plot for parameters with a significant difference. Therewas a significant difference between both anticoagulants for the parameters of hemoglobin, hematocrit MCV, MCHC, RDW,PDW, MPV, PLC-R, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate in both the first and second tests. The agreement test using the BlandAltman plot showed that the difference in these parameters was within the Limit of Agreement (LOA) range of 95%. Thisstudy showed that there were differences in some parameters of complete blood count and erythrocyte sedimentation ratebetween the two anticoagulants (K2 K3 EDTA), but these differences were within the LOA range.

Published: January 2022

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a global health problem due to an increasing prevalence and incidence. HbA1c as aparameter for glycemic control is still above the desired target of 7%. Atherogenic Index of Plasma (AIP) is predicted to be anindicator of cardiovascular disease risk in T2DM. Dyslipidemia in T2DM patients showed a result of increased triglycerideand decreased HDL cholesterol levels. This study aimed to determine the relationship between HbA1c and AIP, triglycerides,and HDL cholesterol in T2DM patients. An analytical observational study using a cross-sectional method on 74 DMT2patients who underwent HbA1c and lipid profile examinations in January-March 2020. Atherogenic index of plasma wascalculated by the logarithmic equation (triglycerides/HDL cholesterol). Data were analyzed by SPSS 25.0. The relationshipbetween HbA1c with AIP, triglycerides, and HDL cholesterol using the Pearson correlation test. Atherogenic index of plasma(0.25±0.25) and triglycerides (211.92±146.09 mg/dL) were found to be higher in the poor glycemic control group (HbA1c> 7%) than AIP (-0.04±0.20) and triglycerides (108.96±38.96 mg/dL) in the good glycemic control group (p < 0.05). HDLcholesterol (40.08±12.64 mg/dL) was found to be higher in the poor glycemic control group than HDL cholesterol(52.28±18.12 mg/dL) in the good glycemic control group (p < 0.05). There was a significant positive correlation betweenHbA1c and AIP (r=0.411, p=0.000), HbA1c with triglycerides (r=0.418, p=0.000), and a significant negative correlationbetween HbA1c and HDL cholesterol (r=-0.233, p=0.046). Insulin resistance can cause lipid metabolism disorders,inflammation, oxidative stress, and coagulation disorders. Maintaining glycemic control and lipid control plays an importantrole in preventing diabetes complications. There is a significant positive correlation between HbA1c and AIP, HbA1c andtriglycerides, and a significant negative correlation between HbA1c and total cholesterol in T2DM patients.

Published: January 2022

The determination of myeloid and lymphoid lineage is essential for the diagnosis and therapy of acute leukemia. Immunophenotyping is the gold standard to determine the lineage of acute leukemia, but it is still constrained and relatively expensive. Mie Map RBC in the ADVIA 2120i is a parameter that can give additional information about myeloid and lymphoid lineage but has never been studied before. It is expected that Mie Map RBC can be used to differentiate the lineage of acute myeloid and lymphoid leukemia if immunophenotyping is not present. This study aimed to analyze the diagnostic value of Mie Map RBC with ADVIA 2120i towards immunophenotyping in determining myeloid and lymphoid lineage in acute leukemia. Child and adult patients diagnosed with acute leukemia (n=30) that had peripheral blood smear and bone marrow aspiration with blasts > 20% were examined using ADVIA 2120i. The Mie Map RBC lineage results were compared to the lineage of immunophenotyping. The sensitivity and specificity of the Mie Map RBC myeloid series are respectively 60.00%, 93.33%. The sensitivity and specificity of the Mie Map RBC lymphoid series are respectively 93.33% and 60.00%. The diagnostic accuracy value of Mie Map RBC is 76.67%. The determination of acute leukemia myeloid series lineage has high specificity. If there is no population outside the matrix of Mie Map RBC, it highly suggests myeloid series. On the other hand, the determination of acute leukemia lymphoid series lineage has a relatively low specificity meaning that the population outside the matrix of Mie Map RBC does not always suggest a lymphoid lineage

The objective of this research was to determine the correlation between Nitric Oxide (NO) levels with the severity ofsepsis, to describe the kinetics of NO levels, and to evaluate it in predicting mortality. This research was a longitudinal cohortobservational analytical study. The variables were serum NO levels and SOFA scores, which were serially evaluated. Thecorrelation test and difference test were used for statistical analysis. The survivor and the non-survivor group consisted of 14(41.18%) and 20 (58.82%) patients, respectively. There was a correlation between serum NO levels and the SOFA score at the24-hour observation (r=0.403; p=0.041). Non-parametric Mann-Whitney test showed that there was no kinetics of NOth levels at 0, 24, 72, and 144-hour observation (p-values =0.897 and 0.703, respectively). NO levels > 111,16 Î¼mol/L at the 24hour could predict the risk of death with hazard ratio 4.7 compared to NO levels < 111,16 Î¼mol/L. The survival rate ofpatients with serum NO levels <111,16 Î¼mol/L and > 111,16 Î¼mol/L was 83.3% and 37.5%, respectively. There was acorrelation between serum NO levels and SOFA scores at the 24-hour observation. However, there was no kinetics of NOlevels at serial evaluations. Nitric oxide levels with a cut-off of 111,16 Î¼mol/L at 24 hours could predict the survival of septicth patients. Utilization of serum NO level at 24 hour can be used to evaluate the severity of septic patients and aggressivemanagement if there is an increase in serum NO levels > 111,16 Î¼mol/L at 24 hours.

Neo-Victorian felony – Crime narratives in Graeme Macrae Burnet’sHis Bloody Projectand Ian McGuire’sThe North Water
Authors: Chalupský Petr
Published: January 2022

The neo-Victorian novel has been one of the most significant branches of contemporary British historical fiction for the past three decades. Thanks to works like A. S. Byatt’s Possession, Sarah Waters’ trilogy Tipping the Velvet, Affinity and Fingersmith and Michel Faber’s The Crimson Petal and the White, the genre has gained not only considerable popularity among readers, but also almost a canonical literary status. Although recent neo-Victorian fiction has been trying to find some new ways in which the genre could avoid stereotypical narratives, it still retains its most determining idiosyncrasies. One of them is an interest in the undersides of Victorian society, including the themes of violence and criminality, which is why these novels often resort to the genre of crime and detective fiction. This is also the case of Graeme Macrae Burnet’s His Bloody Project (2015) and Ian McGuire’s The North Water (2016), both historical novels set in Victorian Britain which were, respectively, shortlisted and longlisted for the 2016 Man Booker Prize. This paper attempts to show the different manners in which these two novels employ various forms of crime narratives so as to achieve their goal of presenting convincing and seemingly authentic insights into the more obscure aspects of the Victorian era.
Never mind the city guides: The topos of a city in urban fantasy (with interpretative emphasis on Neil Gaiman’s novel Neverwhere)
Authors: Boszorád Martin , Klimková Simona
Published: January 2022

The paper focuses on the phenomenon of urban fantasy with a particular interest in the topos of a city, which assumes great significance as a thematic and motivic element in the subgenre. The authors touch upon the relation between (sub)genre and topos/topoi in general, but also more specifically, between urban fantasy and the city, regarding the urban area as a distinct setting with a specific atmosphere, character or genius loci. Within this frame, the paper seeks to exemplify the aforementioned relations through an interpretative study of Neil Gaiman’s novel Neverwhere, which breathes life into the London underground scene. London Below comes to personify, literally, the vices of London Above via the use of anthropomorphic strategies. Moreover, the spatial peculiarities of the novel not only contribute to the creation of the fantastical atmosphere but they also function as a vehicle of social critique and a constitutive element of the protagonist’s transformation.

Authors: Pop Silvia Izabella , Krisztina Martha , Contac Laura Roxana , Henrietta Sandor
Published: January 2022

Introduction. It is well known that previously has been demonstrated a correlation between respiratory function and the harmonious craniofacial development and head posture respectively.

Aim of the study. The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between rapid maxillary expansion (RME) and the change in natural head position (NHP) resulting from the consequent change in airway resistance and to elucidate how RME influences NHP in terms of cephalometric angles in children with nasal obstruction.

Material and methods. The study included 12 girls and 8 boys who had a history of mouth breathing, as confirmed by the parents and ORL specialist and due to this fact, they underwent RME as part of orthodontic treatment. Dental casts, clinical photographs and lateral skull radiographs exposed in natural head position were obtained at the first visit (T1) and 8-10 months (T2) later for all subjects. In order to evaluate the patient’s lateral skull radiographs, I used AudaxCeph software, within which I created a new type of analysis. Student T test and Pearson correlation test were used to statistically analyze the results.

Results. Our findings demonstrate that no significant changes in any of the variables are observed in patients treated with rapid maxillary expansion, however a positive correlation was observed in the variables measured before and after the treatment, respectively between the anomaly and the measured values. Positivity can also be detected when examining the correlation between the patient’s gender and the measured values.

Conclusions. Based on the obtained results, we cannot state that there is a correlation between rapid maxillary expansion and cervical posture.

Published: January 2022

Background/Aim: Thorough knowledge of the endodontic anatomy and comprehensive understanding of root canal morphological variations are mandatory to ensure the successful outcome of the endodontic treatment. The purpose of this study was to compare the number of root canals of first and second lower premolars in a selected population to the root canal pattern reported by endodontic literature and to analyze the gender distribution.

Material and methods: A total of 376 preoperative periapical radiographs were obtained from patients living in the Mureş County of Romania. The X-rays were analyzed by 3 endodontists into determining whether the mandibular premolars had one, two or three root canals. The difference between male and female gender distribution was also examined. Endodontic treatment was then performed using the operating microscope to confirm the root canal configuration of the radiographic analysis. The results were compared to common knowledge of the endodontic literature.

Results: In this study, by using the radiographic method combined with direct observation aided by the operating microscope, 31.3% of first premolars and 14.6% of second premolars were found to have two root canals. A higher percentage of two root canals were found in females for both first (60.97%) and second premolars (76.9%).

Conclusion: In the Mureş County region, mandibular premolars with two root canals have a significantly higher rate than the literature reports. Female patients have a higher prevalence than male patients. This should concern clinicians from this area to be aware of these facts as it can unquestionably influence the tooth’s long-term prognosis.
Analysis of Changes in Shopping Habits and Causes of Food Waste Among Consumers Before and During the COVID-19 Pandemic in Poland
Authors: Nicewicz Robert , Bilska Beata
Published: January 2022

Food waste is a worldwide phenomenon that needs to be reduced. The causes of this problem vary widely. The study used the Computer-Assisted Web Interview method. There were 500 respondents from all over the country and among them 60% women and 40% men. The sample selection was purposeful. Before the pandemic began, the highest percentage of consumers shopped two to three times a week. As of March 2020, the frequency of this activity has decreased for every fourth respondent. Also during this period, an increase in the frequency of shopping alone was observed, as well as an increase in the number of people who outsource their shopping list to others. Nowadays, the vast majority of respondents usually create a shopping list before doing it and follow it. Before the pandemic, this was the case for only 46% of respondents, while during the pandemic it was the case for 81%. Exceeding the expiration date was the most common reason for throwing products in the trash before as well as during the pandemic. Over-shopping as a cause of food waste increased almost fourfold during the pandemic. A positive aspect is noticeable for the ‘I don’t throw food away’ response. The percentage of respondents increased from 16% to 21%. During both survey periods, respondents most often indicated that they throw away fruits, vegetables, bread, and dairy products. During the COVID-19 pandemic, consumers’ shopping behaviour changed. They attended grocery stores far less frequently, mostly on their own, and purchased larger quantities of products. Nonetheless, consumers planned their purchases and checked expiration dates before putting food in their shopping carts. Households were thus forced to respond quickly, adjusting their shopping behaviour. These behaviours have implications for the subsequent activities of retail merchants.

Authors: Maciejewska Monika
Published: January 2022

The impetus for the research presented in this article was the fact that universities have changed their mode of operation into distance learning as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. This shift was universal and forced, and triggered significant changes in the way the classes were carried out. Therefore, questions arose about how the main actors of this scene, namely teachers and students, cope with the new educational reality. The course conducted by the author of this article, covering the fundamentals of evaluation, under which students each year accomplish evaluation research projects addressing important issues related to education at the Faculty, has provided an excellent opportunity to reflect in this regard. To this end, students prepared and accomplished self-evaluation projects, the subject of which was their functioning in the remote education mode. The analysis of the collected data made it possible to distinguish the elements of remote education, which are particularly important from the perspective of young people studying in new, atypical conditions.

The scientific approach constitutes an approach to Indonesia's 2013 curriculum. Since it is imperative for Indonesian education, all teachers need to understand, manage, and apply it in the teaching-learning process. Unfortunately, many English teachers still use inappropriate methods as in the 2013 curriculum. This qualitative research aims at discovering the implementation of a scientific approach by English teachers at State Senior High School in Lhokseumawe. The objects were English teachers at SMAN 1 Lhokseumawe, SMAN 2 Lhokseumawe, and SMAN 5 Lhokseumawe. The tools used in this study were observation for three high school English teachers in the schools. The observation results toward the implementation of five scientific approach stages exposed that the English teachers did not carry out the five stages completely. The teacher should master, understand, and apply the teaching process by following the whole stages of the scientific approach. Class mastery and time management are vital for the learning process. Thus, the teachers should consider those points. Hence, interesting supporting media, appropriate learning material, and methods must be considered by the teachers in teaching so that the students will be motivated to learn.

The complexity of problems encountered in today’s world has forced educational institutions to re-envision their mission in order to successfully prepare a competent and skilled alumna who is able to face the future challenges on a global scale. To achieve this goal, a strategic policy and management, which involves different stakeholders and other parties, are needed. To prepare a competent human resource that is able to face each of the challenges and changes, a curriculum is required that meets the established standards as well as the job market demands. In this regard, this paper addresses the implementation of competency-based curriculum (CBC) in Indonesia. The introduction explains the overview of CBC, its aim and implementation, the relationship between English curriculum and environment, and English language syllabus. The second part discusses the main principles of the curriculum, the theoretical approach that relates to language description and some theories of second language learning that underpin the curriculum. Additionally, other factors that relates to curriculum such as the context and the assessment system including language curriculum innovation are also explored. The third part is the conclusion and identification which reports some of the unsolved issues that relates to the implementation of the curriculum.
Edna Pontellier's endeavors as the main character in Kate Chopin’s "The Awakening" in the nineteenth-century liberal feminism
Authors: Hellystia Devi
Published: January 2022

This study analyzed the struggle of Edna Pontellier in the 19th-century liberal feminism in the novel entitled The Awakening written by Kate Chopin. Liberal feminism assumes that the main problem of gender inequality is the domination of institutions by men. Men control the economic sphere, political sphere, along with other things. 19th-century liberal feminism put its focus on women's equal liberty. In general, the novel is about Edna Pontellier, the woman who was trapped in the figure of a mother and wife. She struggled as a woman in the 19th-century to get equal liberty and follow her desires. The researcher used the qualitative method in analyzing the struggle of Edna Pontellier. The results of this study show Edna’s struggles to pursue her desires through Mill and Taylor’s 19th-century liberal feminism theory. She wanted to get the same political rights, economic opportunities, and education that men get. The results also showed the two things that lead Edna to become a figure of liberal feminism: an unhappy married life and her desire to free herself.

На данный момент в Институте истории Национальной академии наук Беларуси ведётся реконструкция археологической экспозиции. Значительную часть экспонатов составляют предметы из железа, выявленные в ходе как плановых, так и спасательных работ. Ввиду сложных условий хранения, изделия сильно повреждены коррозией и могут быть утрачены. Поэтому в настоящее время в Институте истории остро стоит вопрос сохранения коллекций археологического железа. Данная статья наглядно иллюстрирует процесс стабилизации и консервации пары шпор, выявленных при охранных работах близ деревни Василевщина Дзержинского района Минской области.

В работе описывается опыт подготовки к экспонированию памятников из камня из коллекции Болгарского историко-культурного музея-заповедника, насчитывающей более 200 единиц хранения. Среди них - собрание надгробий XIII-XIV вв., декорированных орнаментальной резьбой, надписями, монохромной покраской, а также фрагменты архитектурного декора из известняка, туфового камня и гипса. Памятники относятся к периоду существованию Болгарского улуса в составе Золотой Орды. Значительное количество памятников имеет неудовлетворительную сохранность и нуждается в проведении реставрационно-консервационных работ. Кроме того, в условиях существующей экспозиции, музей не имеет возможности полноценно представить коллекцию. С целью создания условий для экспонирования лапидарных памятников в настоящий момент на базе Болгарского музея-заповедника создается лапидарий. Для сохранения объектов культурного наследия требуются объединённые усилия различных специалистов - реставраторов, хранителей, археологов. Параллельно с разработкой концепции экспозиции и ее пространственно-архитектурного решения проводится цикл реставрационных работ, освещающийся в настоящей статье.
СРАВНЕНИЕ МЕТОДОВ СТАБИЛИЗАЦИИ АРХЕОЛОГИЧЕСКИХ ПРЕДМЕТОВ ИЗ МЕДНЫХ СПЛАВОВ НА ПРИМЕРЕ МОНЕТ ХЕРСОНЕСА ТАВРИЧЕСКОГО
Authors: Струкова Екатерина Валериевна
Published: January 2022

В статье на примере нумизматических находок из раскопок Херсонеса Таврического рассмотрены основные методы стабилизации медных сплавов. В ходе этой работы монеты в зависимости от их сохранности и применяемых методов были разделены на семь групп. В результате проделанной работы были сделаны выводы по поводу эффективности применяемых методов. Стало ясно, что не все предметы из медных сплавов нуждаются в стабилизации. Обработка бензотриазолом может использоваться избирательно, с соблюдением необходимых мер безопасности и с обязательной проверкой результата. Метод глубокой промывки эффективен только для предметов, неглубоко пораженных активной коррозией. Обработка танином более эффективна по отношению к предметам, где хлористая медь осаждается по границам зерен металла. Обработка оксидом серебра доступна и эффективна, но при этом изменяется цвет поверхности предмета. При методе Розенберга также меняется цвет поверхности предметов. Комбинирование методов обработки танином и оксидом серебра показало высокую эффективность стабилизации и замедления коррозионных процессов. Однако это требует более пристального последующего наблюдения за предметами.

The desmoplastic fibroblastoma (DF) is a rare benign soft-tissue tumor of fibroblastic and myofibroblastic origin, and its occurrence in the oral cavity is rare. This study details a new case of an elevated lesion in the alveolar ridge of a 59-year-old woman, painful during mastication. The histopathological exam showed non-encapsulated stellate-to-spindle cells proliferation in a hypocellular collagen-rich stroma. Tumor cells were strongly and diffusely positive for vimentin, and some cells were focally positive for α-smooth muscle actin, CD99, and β-catenin. The exams were conclusive for DF diagnosis. The patient is in the follow-up period, and no recurrent lesions were detected within one year. Despite having similar clinical, pathological, and immunohistochemical features to the cases previously described, the DF in this report is at an unusual oral site and associated with painful symptomatology. Immunohistochemistry is an important tool in DF cases where the histopathological examination is not conclusive.
