Nanotechnology has emerged as a groundbreaking approach offering new therapies and hope for treating malignant diseases. The remarkable and tunable optical capabilities of semiconductor-based nanoparticles, known as quantum dots (QDs), depending on size and composition, have enabled a multitude of applications in the biological areas. They are perfect for drug delivery, biomolecular tracking, in vitro and in vivo imaging, photodynamic therapy, and the diagnosis and treatment of different cancers due to their great photostability and resistance to photobleaching. Tagged with biopolymers, proteins, and antibodies, QDs accumulate at target sites, fluorescing upon irradiation for imaging or inducing apoptosis in tumor cells for therapy. Notably, carbon quantum dots exhibit low cytotoxicity, positioning QDs as a promising technique for diverse disease management1.
COMPARISON OF OPEN AND ROBOTIC ASSISTED LAPAROSCOPIC URETERIC RE-IMPLANTATION PROCEDURES IN PATIENTS WITH VESICOURETERAL REFLUX: NARRATIVE LITERATURE REVIEW
Authors: Alhawaj Husain
Published: September 2024

Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is a prevalent congenital urological disorder that can lead to recurrent urinary tract infections and renal scarring. Surgical intervention, particularly ureteric reimplantation, is often necessary to prevent these complications, with open surgery being the traditional approach. However, advancements in surgical techniques have introduced robotic-assisted laparoscopic ureteric reimplantation as an alternative. This literature review compares the outcomes, benefits, and limitations of open versus robotic-assisted ureteric reimplantation in treating VUR. The evolution of surgical management for VUR has been marked by continuous refinement, from early open surgical techniques to the introduction of laparoscopic and robotic-assisted procedures. While open ureteric reimplantation remains a gold standard with high success rates (ranging from 80.7% to 99.1%), robotic-assisted techniques have gained popularity due to their minimally invasive nature, which leads to shorter recovery times, reduced postoperative pain, and better cosmetic results, especially in pediatric patients. However, the robotic approach is not without challenges, including longer operative times, higher costs, and the necessity for specialized training. Both surgical methods have distinct complication profiles, with open surgery being more prone to wound-related complications and robotic surgery associated with risks like urinary retention and ureteral injury due to the lack of haptic feedback. The choice between these approaches should be individualized, considering the patients specific needs, the surgeons expertise, and resource availability. Additionally, long-term follow-up is crucial for monitoring recurrent UTIs, renal scarring, and other potential complications. The review concludes that while both techniques are effective, the decision should be guided by a comprehensive assessment of the patients condition and the surgeons proficiency with the respective technique.

Hypophosphataemia (phosphorus deficiency) is currently one of the most common disorders in highyielding dairy cattle. It may occur in clinical forms (lameness, periparturient recumbency and postpartum haemoglobinuria – PPH) or subclinical forms. Periparturient recumbency is the most commonly diagnosed condition associated with clinical phosphorus deficiency, but the currently available literature lacks comprehensive information concerning the effect of this condition on parenchymal organ dysfunction during lactation. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of periparturient recumbency in cows on selected parameters of liver, kidney and muscle function during peak lactation as well as on milk production. Based on the occurrence of periparturient recumbency and the values of inorganic phosphorus before calving, the selected animals were divided into two groups: I – X = 0.46 mmol/l and II – X = 0.45 mmol/l, and a control group was created from cows that were regularly monitored in the herds. Blood from the test cows was collected from the external jugular vein 3 weeks before parturition (collection I), between 4 and 7 days after parturition (collection II), and after around 40 days of lactation (collection III) and 100 days of lactation (collection IV). The blood test results obtained indicate that a decrease in Pi concentration after parturition often occurs in high-producing cows, hence low Pi concentrations before parturition may lead to periparturient recumbency. Cows with prepartum hypophosphataemia and periparturient recumbency (group I) show abnormalities in certain liver parameters during lactation. Liver supporting and protecting supplements should be used in these animals. Cows without preparturient hypophosphataemia did not show such severe changes in parenchymal organ function. Group I cows are at a greater risk of musculoskeletal damage during lactation. For these animals, it is advisable to use bedding and stall materials that reduce stress on this system. Clinical hypophosphataemia reduces milk production in cows.

The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG) injections on progesterone (P4) profiles and pregnancy rates (PR) in Brown Swiss cows with unidentified estrus between days 60 and 120 after parturition. A total of 80 cows were enrolled in the study. All cows had an intravaginal progesterone-releasing device (PRID) inserted for 9 days and received a GnRH injection on day 0. On day 8, PGF2α was administered, the PRID was removed on day 9, and fixed-time artificial insemination (FTAI) was performed 60 hours after PRID removal. Half of the cows (eCG+, n = 40) received a 600 IU injection of eCG when the PRID was removed on day 9, while the other half (eCG–, n = 40) did not. Blood samples were collected on days –10, 0, 8, 9, and during FTAI to measure P4 concentrations. The PR was 37.5% in the eCG+ group and 27.5% in the eCG– group (P = 0.4). At the time of FTAI, the dominant follicle diameter was significantly larger in the eCG+ group (15.5 mm) than in the eCG– group (12.4 mm) (P < 0.001). There was no significant difference in serum P4 concentration between the two groups, except on the day of FTAI, when P4 levels were 0.72 ng/mL in the eCG+ group and 0.94 ng/mL in the eCG– group (P < 0.05). In conclusion, the administration of eCG in addition to synchronization protocols may increase pregnancy rates in cows with unidentified estrus for at least 60 days postpartum.
Oryol-gorodok as a Starting Point of Ermak’s Campaign
Authors:   Berezniki Branch of the National Research Polytechnic University, Shilov Vladimir V.
Published: September 2024

The article examines the issue of where the decision about the expedition to Siberia under the leadership of Ermak Timofeevich was made and where it began in the estates of the Stroganovs in the region of the Northern Kama. The discussion of this complex and important event in the history of Russia not only continues actively in the academic circles but it is also clearly expressed today in the city of Chusovaya and the village of Oryol-gorodok in the Perm krai (territory, in which monuments to Ermak are erected, with the assertion that it is from these settlements that a campaign to “conquer Siberia” began. The article also considers the attitude of Ivan IV the Terrible to the settlement and development of the eastern borders of his kingdom. The paper explores the personality of the legendary ataman Ermak and the result of his campaign, which raised a number of controversial theoretical and conceptual questions. The reason for this lies in the incompleteness of the factual material and in its inconsistency. Despite the lacunae in the history of this issue, the article argues that Ermak “did not conquer” Siberia, but only restored the status quo in the region beyond the Urals, which ultimately contributed to the trends of progressive development in the new lands of the Russian state expressed in rapprochement and mutual cultural enrichment between the Russian settlers and indigenous peoples of Siberia.

The article explores the problem of the Courts of the Ryazan Grand Duchesses Anna Vasil’evna (1483–1501) and Agrafena Vasil’evna (1501–1514/1515). The main question concerns the existence of the court of the Grand Duchesses as a special independent structure. The reconstruction of the courts of Anna Vasil’evna and Agrafena Vasil’evna revealed that the persons who comprised part of their Boyar Duma, the palace administration, and the executive apparatus had previously been in the service of the Grand Dukes of Ryazan, or had close relatives (fathers, siblings) who were part of the courts of Grand Dukes. After the death of the Grand Duchesses, their servants moved to the court of Ivan Ivanovich Ryazanskiy. These facts indicate a high level of continuity between the courts of the Ryazan rulers. They also enable to state that during the periods of the regency of the grand duchesses it they did not have their own special, separate court, independent of the court of the Grand Dukes. The article is the first attempt to analyze the composition of the possessions of the Grand Duchesses of Ryazan. It considered the lands and income granted to the princesses, according to the wills of the Grand Dukes of Ryazan, the real estate that formed the widow’s subsistence inheritance, as well as the font of the Grand Duchesses. The authors come to the conclusion that during the 15th–16th centuries in the principality of Ryazan, the practice of allocating land holdings to widowed princesses was consistent with all-Russian traditions.
The Manifestation of Austrian Freedom by Joseph von Hormayr
Authors:   Northern (Arctic) Federal University named after M. V. Lomonosov, Ragozin German S.
Published: September 2024

The paper examines the issue of legitimation of Habsburg sovereignty by means of historical myth. The dissolution of the Old Reich and reformist discussion forced Austria to form a new self-representation. It was shaped by the historical knowledge as a political instrument for all ethnic communities of the Habsburg Empire. The challenge of conceptualization of AustrianGerman community and “the Austrian Freedom” was undertaken by a romanticist-historian Joseph von Hormayr. The article analyzes the works by Hormayr, e. g., “The Austrian Plutarch”, “Austria and Germany”; “The Army of Inner Austria under archduke Johann’s command during the war of 1809 in Italy, Tyrol and Hungary”; “History of Andreas Hofer, the hotel owner in Passayr”; “Small history of the Fatherland”; and “General contemporary history from the death of Frederick the Great to the Second Parisian peace treaty”. In these works, Hormayr and his Hungarian co-author Alajos Mednyánszky formulated the concept of “Austrian freedom” c justifying the Habsburg legitimacy and its Empire. It referred to Medievalism, e. g., the roots of Austrian statehood dating to the Babenbergs and “freedom of Austria” in the “Old Reich”. Furthermore, Hormayr presented the Austrian Germans as a separate community in “the German world” having rights to its own statehood and empire due to “unity and sovereignty” and the role of Antemurale Christianitatis during the Ottoman era. This concept of the “last stand of Christianity” came back during the Napoleonic warfare, according to Hormayr. In addition, the “Austrian freedom” turned out to be a common value for both Austrian Germans and non-Germanic ethnic communities of Austria, impacted further development of the Empire.

Published: September 2024

The article reviews the long-awaited reedition of the outstanding work by the emigrant historian M. V. Shakhmatov “Essays in the History of Political Thought in Ancient Rus’. Vol. 1. The teachings of the Russian chronicles of the pre-Mongol period on state power” (Prague, 1926) (Opyty po istorii drevnerusskikh politicheskikh idei. T. 1. Ucheniia russkikh letopisei domongol’skogo perioda o gosudarstvennoi vlasti). The paper considers the structure of the work, the author’s evaluation of the political system of Ancient Rus’, the opinions of contemporary emigrant reviewers from, who both noted the insufficient historical and philological analysis of the chronicles and gave Shakhmatov credit for in the first attempt at a systematic outline of political views of chronicles of the Ancient Rus’. The article also examines the republication itself and the preface to it by M. B. Smolin, focusing on a number of factual errors in the presentation of the historian’s biography. The change of the title of the monograph by Shakhmatov by the modern publisher, as well as numerous inaccuracies in the the list of his works and in general in all footnotes in the preface, are deemed inappropriate. An important question arises about the intended audience of this publication. If it is aimed at the general reader, as indicated in the abstract, then this does not correspond to the level of the book, which is, in fact, a scholarly dissertation. A professional reader will be very disappointed by the poor quality of the publication, which does not meet academic requirements. Nevertheless, we must be grateful to the publisher, who has turned to the outstanding heritage of the Russian foreign historiography more than once.

Dupuytren’s disease is a multifactorial polygenic disease accompanied by hand deformity with flexion contracture of the fingers. Despite the improvement of surgical treatment methods for this disease, the rate of postoperative relapses is high and can reach a third of cases or more. A search of scientific literature in databases was conducted using keywords and their combinations to analyze and systematize methodological approaches to the use of scales and questionnaires for patients with Dupuytren’s disease. 28 scales and questionnaires were found and analyzed, but only 11 of them correspond to the purpose of this study and can be recommended for use in real clinical practice. We divided these scales into four groups. Many diagnostic scales and questionnaires, on the one hand, expands the capabilities of the orthopedic traumatologist in diagnosing and assessing the dynamics of disease progression, but on the other hand, each of the analyzed scales separately does not make it possible to comprehensively assess the associated parameters. At the same time, the use of several scales on an outpatient basis and in a 24-hour hospital setting takes quite a lot of time.

A total of 204 full-text publications were identified based on the results of a targeted search, of which 107 fully met these inclusion criteria. Changes in the heliogeomagnetic environment affect almost all organs and systems. The largest number of studies are devoted to assessing the impact of space weather on the cardiovascular system (41 articles – 38,3%) and the nervous system (45 articles - 42,0%). However, the analysis found that also significant systems affected by space weather are respiratory systems (4 articles - 3,7%), digestive (5 articles - 4,7%) and reproductive systems (11 articles - 10,3%). In addition, the course of the infectious process depends on the influence of solar activity (5 articles – 4,7%).
Mikhail Nikiforovich Nikiforov. To the 165th anniversary of his birth
Authors: Zubritsky Alexander
Published: September 2024

The article is devoted to the life and work of the prominent Russian pathologist, bacteriologist, scientist, educator and organizer, Doctor of Medicine, Honored Professor of Moscow University Mikhail Nikiforovich Nikiforov (1858–1915), who was born into a Moscow bourgeois family. In 1883, he graduated with honors from the medical faculty of the Imperial Moscow University with the degree of a doctor and with the title of a district doctor. In 1887, he successfully defended his doctoral dissertation on the topic “On pathoanatomical changes of the spleen in recurrent fever”, in which he explained for the first time the origin of necrosis in the spleen in recurrent typhus. Throughout a relatively short but bright life, all scientific and pedagogical activity was inextricably linked with Moscow University, where the scientist went from student to head of the department and his scientific interests were various issues of general and private pathology (inflammation, tissue regeneration, anemia, circulatory disorders,histogenesis of granulation tissue, tumors, pathology of the nervous system infectious and gynecological pathology) and medical microbiology (methods of histological and bacteriological research). He is the author of scientific publications, including the first atlas of pathological histology, the first domestic textbook on pathological anatomy, which was republished many times, and manuals. He created a large school of pathologists, was the founder of the Society of Moscow Pathologists and the first Chairman of this society, was the first in Russia to use microphotography to accurately reproduce pathohistological changes in illustrative material for lectures, proposed in the field of microscopic technology a number of methods for monitoring the growth of microbes, staining microbes in sections and fixing objects, and in 1888 he proposed the optimal composition of the mixture for fixing blood smears (“Nikiforov’s mixture”). M. N. Nikiforov rose to the rank of Major General, active state councilor and held a number of important administrative posts. He died on June 23, 1915, in Moscow at the 57th year of life from angina pectoris and was buried at the Novodevichy Cemetery.

An analysis of the media environment has shown that Vietnamese cuisine is actively spreading in Russia. As a result, the Russian language began to actively borrow the names of Vietnamese dishes. The author has established that, in contrast to borrowings from the Vietnamese language of previous years, at present there is an active phonetic, morphological and semantic mastering of words of this lexical group. The graphic, morphological and semantic development of the culinaronym nem is analyzed in detail. The importance of using the category of culinary code when entering the Vietnamese loanword into the Russian language is established. Much attention is paid to understanding how Vietnamese culinaronyms are included in the Russian morphological system in terms of the category of gender and case. The word-culinaronym pho (the name of the soup) is studied as the dominant of the analyzed group of borrowings. It has been established that on the basis of this word a word-forming nest is formed. In morphological terms, the word is mastered as a proper noun, a common noun, an adjective. The results of the analysis of the functioning of the word pho show that the word, which at the beginning of its entry into the Russian language had the status of a culinaronym, now has the status of one of the most important slots of the concept “Vietnam”.
Nutrient removal from secondary wastewater effluent by adsorption with hydrotalcite: effect of calcination temperature and co-existing ions

Published: September 2024

Hydrotalcites have been investigated as adsorption systems for water treatment. However, there is a notable gap in the literature regarding studies analyzing their simultaneous removal of ammonium and phosphate pollutants. This work presents an analysis of the ammonium and phosphate adsorption process in real wastewater by commercial hydrotalcite calcined at different temperatures. In addition, an analysis of the effect of co-ions in the medium is performed, studying synergies and interferences between them. Optimal nutrient adsorption is achieved by calcining the adsorbent at 550 °C, facilitating a crystalline restructuring. During adsorbent hydration, the chemical memory effect allows phosphate to be incorporated into the interlamellar space, while ammonium is adsorbed mainly by electrostatic attraction when the zero-charge point is exceeded. The alkaline nature of water decreases adsorption capacities due to interference with the adsorbent's crystalline reestablishment process and a buffer effect. The latter effect favors the loss of magnesium from the adsorbent, which results in a lower phosphate adsorption capacity. By contrast, calcium in the medium improves phosphate adsorption but inhibits ammonium adsorption. In real wastewater, the removal performance of phosphate and ammonium reached 90 and 50%, respectively, with standardized doses of 150 mgads/mg PO43− and 80 mgads/mg N-NH4+.

Introdução: Na odontologia moderna, a estética vem ocupando um espaço cada vez mais expressivo, e o desejo por dentes mais brancos, a insatisfação com o alinhamento dos dentes e com a anatomia dentária, têm sido os motivos mais relevantes de procura dos pacientes nos consultórios odontológicos. Objetivo: O presente artigo tem como objetivo descrever, através de relato de caso clínico, uma abordagem terapêutica estética e conservadora para fechamento de múltiplos diastemas anterossuperiores com a utilização de facetas de resina composta. Relato de caso: Paciente do sexo masculino, 21 anos de idade, procurou atendimento queixando-se de insatisfação estética pelos diastemas apresentados. Por meio de um planejamento digital das facetas em resina, com mockup e modelo impresso em 3D, as restaurações foram feitas respeitando anatomia, forma, opacidade e cores dos dentes naturais do paciente. O resultado dos procedimentos adotados foi satisfatório, demonstrando que a técnica empregada foi eficaz, sendo capaz de devolver um sorriso estético e biológico ao paciente. A odontologia contemporânea tem ofertado cada vez mais materiais com capacidade de devolver estética e função em dentes de forma minimamente invasivas, além de passar total confiabilidade em tratamentos a longo prazo, agradando o paciente desde a apresentação digital do planejamento traçado pelo cirurgião dentista com previsibilidade dos resultados, até o momento final do tratamento. Conclusões: O recontorno estético com resina composta representa uma opção funcional e de baixo custo para o tratamento de pacientes que apresentam diastemas múltiplos, principalmente em pacientes jovens pela preservação da estrutura dentária e possibilidade de reparo, sendo considerado um procedimento reversível, rápido e de baixo custo.

Introdução: A sensibilidade dentária é o efeito adverso mais comum relacionado ao clareamento dentário. Na técnica de consultório, o peróxido de carbamida a 37%, surgiu como possibilidade de clarear e não causar sensibilidade. Objetivo: trata-se de um relato de caso, que avaliou a eficácia (mudança de cor) e a presença ou não de sensibilidade dentária quando fez-se o uso de um produto à base de peróxido de hidrogênio a 35% (PH) e outro de peróxido de carbamida a 37% (PC), na técnica de clareamento dentário de consultório. Relato de caso: Paciente de 25 anos, sexo masculino, submetido a estudo de boca dividida, onde no hemiarco esquerdo foi aplicado peróxido de hidrogênio a 35% e no hemiarco direito, peróxido de carbamida a 37%. Foram feitas 3 sessões, sendo PC com aplicação única de 45 minutos, e PH com 3 aplicações de 15 minutos, em seu respectivo lado de aplicação e intervalo de sete dias entre cada sessão. Os valores de sensibilidade foram analisados antes e depois de cada sessão por meio da escala visual analógica de dor, e a alteração de cor foi avaliada através da Escala Vita, analisando incisivos e caninos superiores, antes de cada sessão. Conclusões: O clareamento dental com o PH apresentou melhor eficácia clareadora e o PC apresentou ausência de sensibilidade durante o procedimento clareador.  Sugerem-se mais estudos do tipo ensaio clínico, com o PC, para que se possa, com uma amostra maior de pacientes, verificar suas vantagens no quesito sensibilidade, bem como sua efetividade clareadora.

Introdução: Disfunções temporomandibulares (DTMs) são um termo genérico para uma série de sinais e sintomas clínicos que envolvem os músculos mastigatórios, a articulação temporomandibular e estruturas associadas. O tratamento de pacientes com DTM deverá envolver uma equipe multidisciplinar e para que haja uma    intervenção eficaz no tratamento da disfunção é necessário que os profissionais envolvidos atuem em conjunto e tenham pleno conhecimento das funções estomatognáticas. Objetivo: o objetivo deste artigo é revisar a literatura sobre as formas terapêuticas das disfunções temporomandibulares e sua eficácia. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo sobre o panorama atual das terapêuticas utilizadas para o tratamento de disfunções temporomandibulares. Para compor o presente trabalho foi consultado o banco de dados da PubMed utilizando as palavras-chave “temporomandibular disorder” e “therapy” associados ao operador booleano AND. Os critérios de inclusão foram os artigos publicados, limitando-se ao período de 2020 a 2024 no idioma inglês. A busca computou um total de 545 artigos, dos quais foram excluídos os artigos que desviavam do tema proposto, artigos que abordavam técnicas com pouco embasamento científico e os artigos que não estavam disponíveis por completo. Resultados: os achados na literatura corroboram com a escolha em primeiro plano de um tratamento conservador, reversível e não invasivo. Dentre as opções destacam-se orientações de autocuidado, confecção de placa oclusal, terapias manuais, exercícios musculares, biofeedback e manejo farmacológico em casos de sintomas somáticos. A toxina botulínica tem sido sugerida para tratamento em casos de DTMs musculares, no entanto, com baixa evidência científica quanto aos efeitos adversos. Técnicas cirúrgicas são indicadas em casos de não resolução com terapias conservadoras. Conclusões: Apesar da grande diversidade nos protocolos, o tratamento conservador demonstra resolução do problema na maioria dos casos de DTMs e aqueles tratamentos que combinam várias técnicas evidenciam melhores resultados do que tratamentos isolados.

Introdução: O país adota, com a criação do Programa Previne Brasil, uma nova forma de financiamento da Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS), com a portaria ministerial 2.979/2019, a qual estabeleceu critérios para alocação de recursos, com foco para o desempenho e produtividade da APS. Tal modelo vem sendo alvo de críticas pelo campo acadêmico da Saúde Coletiva e por gestões municipais, que em diferentes situações demonstram perdas financeiras, sobretudo, devido ao componente de capitação ponderada. Objetivo: Sistematizar o desempenho da Atenção Primária à Saúde do município de Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, com base em indicadores de desempenho do Sistema de Informação em Saúde para a Atenção Básica (SISAB), e o financiamento da APS, com base no Sistema de Informações sobre Orçamentos Públicos em Saúde (SIOPS), entre os anos 2019 a 2022. Metodologia: Trata-se de uma pesquisa descritiva-exploratória, com utilização de dados secundários e sistematização dos sete indicadores de desempenho da APS via SISAB e das despesas com saúde, em especial gastos com a APS via SIOPS, do município de Natal/RN. Resultados: Dos sete indicadores analisados, o município de Natal alcançou a meta em dois indicadores, referente à proporção de gestantes com pelo menos seis consultas pré-natal realizadas (46% em 2022) e com realização de exames para sífilis e HIV (67% em 2022). O município destinou à Atenção Primária, em  2022, apenas 6,33% de todas suas despesas com saúde. Destaca-se, também, que a cobertura da APS no município é de 60%, havendo ainda um vazio assistencial para grande parte da população natalense. Conclusões: A análise de indicadores de saúde, torna-se importante ferramenta para a ação avaliativa do SUS, bem como dá suporte para a tomada de decisão por parte de gestores e equipes de saúde, além de produzir conhecimento crítico para a qualificação da APS.
