Outcome of Different Treatment Modalities in Non-caseating Granulomatous Mastitis: A Narrative Review
Authors: Nasrin Shamima , Alam Ovi Mir Rasekh , Arif Abdus Salam , Hasan Md Jahid
Published: March 2023

Granulomatous mastitis (GM) is a benign inflammatory condition of breast disease that affects women of childbearing age with a history of breastfeeding. The rarity and complex pathophysiology make the diagnosis and management quite dilemmatic for clinicians. This review explored the available treatment options for the disease condition in light of the recent literature. Surgery alone, intervention with or without steroids, antibiotic therapy, abscess drainage, methotrexate therapy, and antibiotics are widely used in different settings. However, surgery (with or without steroids) showed a higher recovery rate along with a lower recurrence rate. Steroid therapy is promising, but its use is limited due to the higher number of recurrences. In addition, the use of methotrexate showed an increased remission rate, but the toxicity profile was still high. However, treatment outcome mostly depends on the severity of the disease and individual physical status, and therefore, a comprehensive evaluation of the patients is crucial. This review recommended the formulation of a standard guideline for uniform management of granulomatous mastitis conditions in our country.

Energy is one of the most important needs for humans to support daily life, especially for developing countries such as Indonesia. One of the energies needed in human life is electrical energy. For this reason, innovation was developed, namely a dry-type Single-Phase Transformer with a core geometry approach developed in the AL 1.01 building of the State Polytechnic of Malang. Calculations performed on the tool are to calculate the value of windings per volt (GPV) and the number of primary and secondary windings. Its manufacture uses a toroid-shaped transformer core. The core specification of the transformer is an outer diameter of 15cm, then an inner diameter of 5.8 cm, and a height of 7cm. The toroid transformer core that will be used is previously isolated from the transformer first to avoid leakage current which can cause heat in the transformer core. The density of the email wire from the transformer winding both from the primary and secondary windings will affect the performance of the transformer, the more tightly the email Wire is wrapped in the transformer core, the vibration generated from the transformer will be smaller, this will affect the voltage losses later in the transformer testing phase carried out using different beaban, each load changes the efficiency of the transformer that has been made will also change, this is because each load tested has different factors.

Transformers are critical equipment in electrical power system which assist in transmitting electrical energy from generators to consumers. Oil insulation is one of the key component in power transformer. Poor quality of oil insulation can be fatal to the transformer, especially when a disturbance occurs. Oil insulation can affect the aging of power transformers and the failure can disturb the continuity of electrical energy supplied to consumers. There are three things that affect the condition of transformer oil insulation, namely chemical, electrical, and physical. The test results of oil insulation parameters that were collected was assessed individually, such as Interfacial Tension (IFT), colour, breakdown voltage (BDV), acidity, and water content. Then, the condition assessment of power transformer oil insulation using a scoring matrix method proposed in CIGRE TB 761 was performed to determine the assessment index of oil insulation conditions of two 150 kV power transformers based on the results of various oil testing. Lastly, recommended action is provided based on the analysis.
Effects of glioblastoma-derived extracellular vesicles on the functions of immune cells

Glioblastoma is the most aggressive variant of glioma, the tumor of glial origin which accounts for 80% of brain tumors. Glioblastoma is characterized by astoundingly poor prognosis for patients; a combination of surgery, chemo- and radiotherapy used for clinical treatment of glioblastoma almost inevitably results in rapid relapse and development of more aggressive and therapy resistant tumor. Recently, it was demonstrated that extracellular vesicles produced by glioblastoma (GBM-EVs) during apoptotic cell death can bind to surrounding cells and change their phenotype to more aggressive. GBM-EVs participate also in establishment of immune suppressive microenvironment that protects glioblastoma from antigen-specific recognition and killing by T cells. In this review, we collected present data concerning characterization of GBM-EVs and study of their effects on different populations of the immune cells (T cells, macrophages, dendritic cells, myeloid-derived suppressor cells). We aimed at critical analysis of experimental evidence in order to conclude whether glioblastoma-derived extracellular vesicles are a major factor in immune evasion of this deadly tumor. We summarized data concerning potential use of GBM-EVs for non-invasive diagnostics of glioblastoma. Finally, the applicability of approaches aimed at blocking of GBM-EVs production or their fusion with target cells for treatment of glioblastoma was analyzed.

Medicinal plants are long known for their therapeutic applications. Tinospora cordifolia (commonly called gulancha or heart-leaved moonseed plant), a herbaceous creeper widely has been found to have antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, and anti-cancer properties. However, there remains a dearth of reports regarding its antibiofilm activities. In the present study, the anti-biofilm activities of phytoextractof T. cordifolia and the silver nanoparticles made from this phytoextract were tested against the biofilm of S.taphylococcus aureus, one of the major nosocomial infection-producing bacteria taking tetracycline antibiotic as control. Both phytoextract from the leaves of T. cordifolia, and the biogenic AgNPs from the leaf extract of T. cordifolia, were found successful in reducing the biofilm of Staphylococcus aureus. The biogenic AgNPs formed were characterized by UV- Vis spectroscopy, Field emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE- SEM), and Dynamic light scattering (DLS) technique. FE- SEM images showed that the AgNPs were of size ranging between 30 and 50 nm and were stable in nature, as depicted by the zeta potential analyzer. MIC values for phytoextract and AgNPs were found to be 180 mg/mL and 150 μg/mL against S. aureusrespectively. The antibiofilm properties of the AgNPs and phytoextract were analyzed using the CV assay and MTT assay for determining the reduction of biofilms. Reduction in viability count and revival of the S. aureus ATCC 23235 biofilm cells were analyzed followed by the enfeeblement of the EPS matrix to quantify the reduction in the contents of carbohydrates, proteins and eDNA. The SEM analyses clearly indicated that although the phytoextracts could destroy the biofilm network of S. aureuscells yet the biogenicallysynthesizedAgNPs were more effective in biofilm disruption. Fourier Transformed Infrared Radiations (FT- IR) analyses revealed that the AgNPs could bring about more exopolysaccharide (EPS) destruction in comparison to the phytoextract. The antibiofilm activities of AgNPs made from the phytoextract were found to be much more effective than the non-conjugated phytoextract, indicating the future prospect of using such particles for combatting biofilm-mediated infections caused by S aureus.
“Everything will be all right (?)”: Discourses on COVID-19 in the Italian linguistic landscape
Authors: Bagna Carla , Bellinzona Martina
Published: March 2023

The study of the linguistic landscape (LL) focuses on the representations of languages on signs placed in the public space and on the ways in which individuals interact with these elements. Regulatory, infrastructural, commercial, and transgressive discourses, among others, emerge in these spaces, overlapping, complementing, or opposing each other, reflecting changes taking place and, in turn, influencing them. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected all aspects of life, including cities, neighborhoods, and spaces in general. Against this background, the study of the LL is fundamental not only to better understand the ways in which places have changed and how people are interpreting and experiencing them but also to analyze the evolution of COVID-19 discourses since the pandemic broke out. This contribution aims to investigate how and in what terms the COVID-19 pandemic has had an impact on the Italian LL, considered both in its entirety, as a single body that, regardless of local specificities, responded to and jointly reflected on the shared shock, and specifically, assuming the city of Florence as a case study. The data collected in the three main phases of the pandemic include photographs of virtual and urban LL signs and interviews, which were analyzed through qualitative content analysis with the aim of exploring citizens' perceptions and awareness of changes in the LL of their city. The results obtained offer a photograph of complex landscapes and ecologies, which are multimodal, multi-layered, and interactive, with public and private discourses that are strongly intertwined and often complementary. Furthermore, the diachronic analysis made it possible to identify, on the one hand, points in common with the communication strategies in the different phases, both at a commercial and regulatory level. On the other hand, strong differences emerged in the bottom-up representations, characterized in the first phase by discourses of resilience, tolerance, hope, solidarity, and patriotism, and in the second and third phases by disillusionment, despair, and protest.

Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a cardiac valve disease that not only affects the mitral valve (MV), provoking mitral regurgitation, but also leads to maladaptive structural changes in the heart. Such structural changes include the formation of left ventricular (LV) regionalized fibrosis, especially affecting the papillary muscles and inferobasal LV wall. The occurrence of regional fibrosis in MVP patients is hypothesized to be a consequence of increased mechanical stress on the papillary muscles and surrounding myocardium during systole and altered mitral annular motion. These mechanisms appear to induce fibrosis in valve-linked regions, independent of volume-overload remodeling effects of mitral regurgitation. In clinical practice, quantification of myocardial fibrosis is performed with cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging, even though CMR has sensitivity limitations in detecting myocardial fibrosis, especially in detecting interstitial fibrosis. Regional LV fibrosis is clinically relevant because even in the absence of mitral regurgitation, it has been associated with ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death in MVP patients. Myocardial fibrosis may also be associated with LV dysfunction following MV surgery. The current article provides an overview of current histopathological studies investigating LV fibrosis and remodeling in MVP patients. In addition, we elucidate the ability of histopathological studies to quantify fibrotic remodeling in MVP and gain deeper understanding of the pathophysiological processes. Furthermore, molecular changes such as alterations in collagen expression in MVP patients are reviewed.

This article presents an output power regulation system for micro fuel cells to help enhance the stability of the fuel cell in a portable micro power system. The structure of an MCU-controlled DC-DC converter is proposed. Then, the output characteristics of a selected fuel cell stack and the DC-DC converter’s power control functions are estimated by a system-level model. Based on the simulation results, the model provides a power regulation system which is implemented, and the test shows that it fulfills its intended function and the output power is regulated to a fixed level of 5 W–40 W with good efficiency.
