Introdução: A úlcera aguda de Lipschutz, rara e não venérea, acomete, majoritariamente, mulheres jovens e sexualmente inativas. Surge abruptamente com dor. Sintomas gripais costumam antecedê-la. As lesões são únicas ou múltiplas, necrótica, simétricas, localizadas em vulva ou períneo. Mycoplasma, Influenza A, Citomegalovírus e Epstein-Barr são possíveis etiologias, porém, geralmente, o agente não é identificado. É necessário diagnóstico diferencial com infecções sexualmente transmissíveis (IST) ulcerativas e doenças inflamatórias. Portanto, o presente relato torna-se relevante. Objetivo: Descrever um caso de úlcera de Lipschutz em paciente do sexo feminino e o diagnóstico diferencial com outras IST. Relato de caso: Mulher, 17 anos, G0P0, solteira, sem parceiro fixo, sexualmente ativa em uso irregular de preservativo, procurou ambulatório de IST em um hospital, em janeiro de 2023, devido a quadro de ferida vulvar, adinamia, disúria e febre iniciado há 7 dias. Negava comorbidades, úlceras genitais prévias ou tratamento para IST. Relatava odinofagia há 30 dias com melhora após antibioticoterapia. Ao exame físico, apresentava duas úlceras pouco dolorosas à manipulação, com fundo melicérico, localizadas em região vestibular e de pequenos lábios. Ao exame especular, havia presença de conteúdo branco amarelado espesso. Foi realizada testagem rápida para HIV, sífilis e hepatites B e C, não reagentes, e oferecido tratamento empírico para úlceras dolorosas. Prosseguiu-se a investigação diagnóstica com bacterioscopia por Gram de raspado de úlcera vulvar, exame a fresco de conteúdo vaginal e exames laboratoriais. Na bacterioscopia, não foram identificados microrganismos que pudessem explicar o quadro. Os exames sorológicos foram não reagentes para HIV, hepatites B e C, EBV (IgM e IgG), Herpes simples 1 e 2 (IgM e IgG), Venereal Disease Research Laboratory (VDRL), Anticorpo para Treponema pallidum e CMV (IgM). Conclusão: A úlcera de Lipschutz é benigna e autolimitada, não venérea e um diagnóstico de exclusão. Dada a raridade de sua ocorrência, é fundamental conhecê-la para tratar oportunamente e evitar iatrogenias.

La condición climática de Puyo es uno de los mayores problemas que afecta la tipología de construcción en esta ciudad. Aunque ya se han normado que las viviendas deberán finalizar en cubierta inclinada, hasta hace unos años en esta ciudad eran comunes las viviendas con terrazas que terminaban con losas de hormigón. Esta situación ha cambiado por las mismas condiciones climáticas que enfrenta la ciudad y porque es una de las zonas con mayores niveles de precipitación del país. Se venía fomentando ideas estandarizadas de construcción sin importar las características climáticas de esta ciudad. Una de las soluciones más implementadas para enfrentar los problemas inherentes a la humedad, ha sido la construcción de cubiertas metálicas inclinadas para proteger las estructuras. Este artículo se enfoca en analizar la humedad en las viviendas VI, VI2 Y VC (Prototipo de la vivienda particular construida en la zona de expansión urbana 1), para caracterizar la humedad de este punto en la región amazónica. Para alcanzar este objetivo se ha realizado un análisis experimental de la temperatura y humedad relativa interior de estas viviendas. De acuerdo a los resultados encontrados ninguna de las viviendas analizadas alcanza un rango óptimo de humedad, ni en la mejor de las condicionantes. Además, las estrategias planteadas de manera independiente como la ventilación tienen un impacto mínimo y hasta contraproducente por las altas temperaturas. Además, la ventilación natural favorece las condiciones de humedad, pero, aun así, no se logra un porcentaje recomendado. Finalmente, este artículo soporta que las viviendas deben plantear un análisis integral propio para sobrellevar las condiciones de la humedad en la ciudad de Puyo.

Published: May 2024

A demanda por Cuidados Paliativos (CP) vem crescendo no mundo, entretanto ainda persistem resistências para sua aceitação por parte de profissionais, pacientes e familiares, muitas vezes por desconhecimento sobre os benefícios dessa prática e dificuldades para aceitar a morte, prevalecendo mesmo em situações dolorosas de prolongamento da vida. Assim, o estudo buscou avaliar as percepções e conhecimentos sobre morte e terminalidade entre familiares de pacientes internados. Trata-se de investigação exploratória, com abordagem qualitativa, realizada em Hospital Regional do interior do Maranhão. Teve amostra intencional de 18 familiares de pacientes internados, e objetivou avaliar suas percepções sobre a assistência paliativa e terminalidade.  A coleta de dados usou entrevista semiestruturada com posterior análise temática em Braun & Clarke, emergindo três categorias temáticas: Todo mundo morre; Ninguém deseja morrer; Se for para morrer. A discussão teve por referencial teórico as representações sociais de Moscovicci. Os resultados mostraram que os familiares não ignoram a morte, mas diferem em suas representações sobre a terminalidade e autonomia do paciente, sendo que todos usam crenças religiosas para apoiar suas expectativas. Desconhecem ou compreendem equivocadamente os cuidados paliativos, mas são instintivamente favoráveis aos seus princípios. Conclui-se que as representações sociais podem ser influenciadas pelo diálogo entre pacientes, familiares e profissionais de saúde, revelando a importância de intervenções educativas na área de CP, pois a assistência prestada não aborda o tema e não favorece a participação de pacientes e familiares nas decisões e escolhas para o cuidado e a finitude, impactando na sua autonomia e bem-estar.

Authors: Smarandreetha Falsyawal Galang , Pasopati Rommel Utungga
Published: May 2024

Colleen Hoover's novel entitled Regretting You was first published in 2019. The novel reflects the intricate layers of human relationships of self-discovery, forgiveness, and lifelong family connections. Morgan and her teenage daughter, Clara, is dealing with the tragic deaths of Morgan's husband and Clara's father. As they deal with their grief and try to rebuild their lives, secrets and misunderstandings emerge, straining their relationship and causing them to experience dysthymia. Dysthymia is a lifelong form of depression, according to Michael E. Thase and Susan S. Lang. Then, how the symptoms of dysthymia depicted by Morgan and Clara in Colleen Hoover’s Regretting You? Employing a qualitative research approach, the researchers explore the symptoms of dysthymia, including changes in feeling, thinking, and behavior. Morgan and Clara's dysthymia evolves as they navigate the conflicts in the story, mainly due to the grief resulting from their loss. As a result, their mental and emotional health suffers greatly. This leads to the conclusion that their dysthymia exacerbates the tension in their mother-daughter relationship, making it difficult for them to communicate effectively and solve problems, all due to their enduring mild depression.

Published: May 2024

Bradycardia is a life-threatening arrhythmia that endangers life by compromising blood flow to the brain. During intubation, its prevention is life-saving—the benefit of atropine in preventing bradycardia before intubation is controversial in the literature. Objective: The objective of the study was to find and compare the incidence of bradycardia with and without atropine. Methods: This single-centre randomised controlled trial was conducted at a tertiary care pediatric emergency department for six months. After applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, children were divided into two groups. Group 1 was given atropine before intubation, and group 2 was not. The overall incidence of bradycardia in subgroups was noted, along with the number of attempts and intubation time. Data was analysed using SPSS 26.0. Results: 86 patents were included in the study, with 43 in both groups. The mean age of the participants was  69.02+109.10 days. 48  (55.8%) were males and 38 (44.2%) were females. The incidence of bradycardia was 7% (6 Patients), with no statistically significant difference in both the groups (p-value was greater than 0.05). The number of attempts for intubation and intubation duration was also neither associated with bradycardia nor with atropine use. (p-value> 0.05).Conclusion: There is a higher incidence of bradycardia during intubation in children, with no significant difference in its occurrence with the use of atropine.

Cervical incompetence is a significant cause of second-trimester pregnancy loss and preterm birth. Emergency cervical cerclage (ECC) is a surgical intervention aimed at preventing these adverse outcomes by providing mechanical support to a weakened cervix. Objective: To evaluate the outcomes of emergency cervical cerclage in terms of mode of delivery and the success rate of live birth in patients presenting to a tertiary care hospital. Methods: This descriptive case series was conducted in the Department of Gynecology at Lady Reading Hospital, Peshawar, from May 2023 to November 2023. Ninety-six patients with cervical incompetence underwent ECC under aseptic conditions by a single surgical team using standard procedures. Data on the mode of delivery and fetal outcomes were collected. Patients were followed up bi-weekly for the first month, then monthly until delivery. Statistical analysis included descriptive statistics to summarize the outcomes. Results: Out of 96 patients, 61 (63.5%) had vaginal deliveries, while 35 (36.5%) had cesarean sections. The majority of pregnancies (67.7%) resulted in live births, whereas 32.3% of the cases resulted in fetal death. Conclusion: Emergency cervical cerclage is an effective intervention for women with cervical incompetence, capable of prolonging pregnancy and improving neonatal outcomes.

Published: May 2024

Direct pulp capping is an essential technique in endodontic therapy, where it is used to preserve the vitality and functionality of the dental pulp when it has been exposed due to caries or trauma. Objective: The study aims to find the direct pulp capping in carious exposed permanent teeth, assessing the superiority between biodentin and mineral trioxide aggregate. Methods: This randomised control trial was conducted at Sardar Begum Dental College/Hospital Peshawar from January 2023 to June 2023. Data was collected from 112 patients. A total of 112 patients with carious-exposed permanent teeth requiring direct pulp capping were included in the study.  Participants in Group A underwent direct pulp capping using Biodentine, while those in Group B received direct pulp capping with MTA. Experienced endodontists performed the procedures following standardised protocols. Pre-operative and post-operative assessments included clinical examination, pulp vitality testing, and radiographic evaluation.  Results: Data were collected from 112 patients according to the study's methodology. A 24-month trial period of carrier and MTA proved that they could consistently have high clinical success rates of direct pulp cap for the carious surface of the permanent tooth. In the first 6 months, Biodentine was more successful, 85%, than MTA, 78%, but similar results were presented in 12 months (80% compared to 78%). The radiographic evaluation was done for the healt of periapical healing in the dentine to MTA, which revealed no statistical differences in all the radiographic follow-up intervals. Biodentine and Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) groups across all follow-up intervals. At 6 months, Biodentine demonstrated a mean healing score of 4.2 ± 0.8, slightly higher than MTA's 4.0 ± 0.7. Conclusion: It is concluded that both Biodentine and Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) exhibit comparable effectiveness in direct pulp capping of carious-exposed permanent teeth, with high clinical success rates and favourable periapical healing outcomes observed in both groups.

Water culture an economical method for re-sprouting in damaged Picrorhiza kurrooa plants
Authors: Atul  , Sharma Neeta
Published: May 2024

Picrorhiza kurrooa has been industrially over exploited for picrorhizin, kutkin, kerrin, vanillic acid, kutkiol, kutkisterol, etc., and this has resulted it being classed under vulnerable and endangered ecological status. Keeping this in view every singly plant of this genetic resource is of utmost importance. So, the plants, which were unable to survive in field conditions, were tried to re-sprout for re-plantation. The germplasm collected from Chamba and Kinnaur areas of Himachal Pradesh were planted in the beds and the damaged plants or the plants that were unable to survive in the field condition were uprooted. Significant amount of re-sprouting of 80-90% was observed when the lower tip of the cut portion of stolons is dipped in water culture at 25-300C. Age of cutting and the incubation temperature showed a significant effect on the average per cent sprouting of the stolons. This water culture technique has proved to be helpful in reviving the lost stock of the endangered plant, is economical and can be easily replicated/adopted by the poor farmers.

Authors: Shanmughavel P. , Francis K.
Published: May 2024

This paper presents the results of intercropping trials of turmeric (Curcuma longa) in the bamboo plantations using randomized complete block design. Productivity of turmeric in the intercropped stand was found to be lower (13.3 t/ha.) compared with raising (19.1 t/ha.) sole turmeric plantations. Similar results are observed in the bamboo stands. However, the land equivalent ratio of bamboo producing culms with turmeric intercrop found in the ratio of 1:2 and therefore suggested that turmeric can be recommended as an intercrop in the bamboo plantation.

Published: May 2024

School inclusion for autistic children in Morocco is a crucial issue for ensuring educational equity. Despite the efforts made in recent years in the field of autism, many challenges remain. The aim of this study is to investigate the educational experiences of parents of children with autism in Moroccan schools. It focuses specifically on parents of autistic children attending school in the two regions: Casablanca-Settat and Rabat-salé-kenitra, with a view to adapting educational programs to promote better social integration in more inclusive school environments. This study adopts a mixed-methods research approach, combining qualitative and quantitative methods, including semi-structured interviews with parents of autistic children, questionnaires to assess their satisfaction, and direct observations of children in the school context, aiming to provide an in-depth understanding of school inclusion for autistic children in Morocco. The results indicate a significant demand for adapting teaching methods for autistic children, as well as increased communication with the teaching team and better social integration. In addition, the level of acceptance of autism in Moroccan society is generally considered to be average or low, underlining the need for better care for autistic children. It is recommended that autism awareness programs be strengthened in schools to promote better understanding and acceptance within the educational community.

Published: May 2024

Introduction: Peripheral facial paralysis is a relatively common pathology which concerns both the general practitioner and the ENT specialist, the ophthalmologist, the neurologist and the pediatrician. The difficulty in therapeutic management lies in the lack of randomized and controlled studies. The functional and aesthetic after-effects can be the source of psychological suffering.
Material and method: This is a retrospective study, carried out within the ENT and CCF department of the Avicenne Military Hospital in Marrakech over a period of 5 years from January 2016 to December 2020. Data collection was carried out from the medical records of 47 patients hospitalized in the department during the study period. The texts were entered using the MICROSOFT OFFICE WORD2007 software and the graphics were entered using the MICROSOFT OFFICE EXCEL 2007 software.
Results: The age of our patients varied between 10 to 69 years, with a clear predominance of the age group of 45-60 years and an average age of 42 years, the majority of these patients, i.e. 87% were male. The monthly distribution showed a greater frequency in Winter. As for the antecedents, diabetes is the most common (34% of cases) followed by recurrence of PFP in 17% of cases. Regarding the severity diagnosis, the majority of our patients had stage IV (45% of our PFP). Although the etiologies are multiple, in our study, refrigerated PFs dethroned them with more than 68% of cases, followed by herpetic PFs which were recorded in 11% of cases.
As for the pick-up time, it is 55.3% in the first three days, and fortunately so. The bases of therapy were corticosteroid therapy and facial physiotherapy. Regarding the evolution of our patients, 35 cases had a complete recovery, 9 patients had an incomplete recovery including 3 with synkinesias and spasms and 3 cases did not recover. Our results showed that this same good development is correlated with the precocity of treatment.
Conclusion: PFPs are certainly often benign, they always require rapid and appropriate treatment. This pathology unfortunately causes functional, aesthetic and undoubtedly psychological after-effects requiring continuous long-term monitoring.
Location of Faults in Six Phase Transmission Line using a Neuro Fuzzy System
Authors: Kumar A , Ramesha M , Kiran Elemasetty , Kumar M , Nagaraju Malleboina , Chakravarthy M , Gururaj Bharathi
Published: May 2024

Fault location plays an important role in power systems. It is frequently used in transmission lines to reduce the system damage for growing electrical energy demand. However, the location estimation method itself is easy to be disturbed by different parameters and gives estimation errors. To solve this problem, this paper introduces a scheme that uses neuro fuzzy system (NFS) to locate all types of faults such as shunt faults, transforming faults, series faults and simultaneous faults in six phase overhead line (SPOL). This scheme has been performed on a 68 km, 138 kV, 60Hz, SPOL for all fault types by employing MATLAB software Simulink. Here, Haar wavelet transforms (HWT) are used to extract the current signals in order to evaluate the behavior and characteristics of higher frequency components. Then, the obtained HWT currents data are employed to construct the fault location scheme in SPOL based on NFS. The obtained experimental results confirm that by using the NFS, the maximum fault location error (MFLE) can be reduced by more than 10%. It can further reduce the maximum response time (MRT) for the operator to address the faults and ensure the power system reliability in the future. The test result executed in this investigation indicates that the NFS is resilient to wide changes in fault conditions, and it shows good performance and huge potential for location of faults in SPOL.
An insight into the pathophysiology of mucormycosis: Lesson learnt during COVID pandemic
Authors: Bhattacharyya Sukanti , Samashaptak Samashaptak , Chatterjee Purushottam
Published: May 2024

Mucormycosis, a lethal fungal infection caused by Rhizopus oryzae, has gained significant attention due to its association with the COVID-19 pandemic. The causal relationship between COVID-19 and mucormycosis is not yet fully understood. This narrative review focuses on the pathophysiology of mucormycosis, particularly in the context of COVID-19. Mucormycosis primarily affects immunocompromised individuals and is commonly observed in diabetic patients with COVID-19 who receive high doses of corticosteroids. The most common presentation of mucormycosis in COVID-19 is rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis. Early diagnosis and prompt initiation of treatment, including extensive surgical intervention and appropriate antifungal therapy, are crucial in preventing fatal complications. The global prevalence of mucormycosis varies widely, with a higher incidence in developing countries such as India. Diabetes mellitus remains the leading risk factor globally, while COVID-19 and corticosteroid therapy also predispose immunocompromised patients to mucormycosis. The impaired phagocytic activity in immunosuppressed individuals and the ability of Mucorales to acquire iron from the host play significant roles in the pathogenesis of mucormycosis. Endothelial damage and thrombosis, along with hyperglycemia, acidosis, and increased serum iron levels observed in COVID-19, contribute to the aggressive nature of mucormycosis in these patients. The review emphasizes the need for further research to establish a causal association between COVID-19, corticosteroid therapy, and mucormycosis, and highlights the importance of understanding the underlying mechanisms to improve the management and outcomes of patients with this devastating fungal infection.

Published: May 2024

The main direction of the economic and social development of the Republic of Azerbaijan is the intensification of agricultural production. Irrigation is a powerful means of intensifying agricultural production in the context of its specialization. In areas with insufficient moisture (especially typical for mountainous areas), irrigation is one of the decisive factors in growing high and stable crop yields. This requires the development of new technical solutions and the introduction of automated systems for low-intensity irrigation of agricultural crops that meet the requirements of ecology and environmental protection of their habitat, which makes it possible to improve the ecological state of irrigated lands and reduce water consumption. Per unit of production and increasing the yield of individual crops in irrigated fields.
Recuperar la Teoría Marxista de la Dependencia en Chile, 2023. Comparación Incorporada y Estrategia Socialista
Authors: Link-Chaparro Sebastian
Published: May 2024

Este artículo propone dos herramientas para recuperar las teorías marxista de la dependencia (TMD) y sistema-mundo (TSM) desde Chile a inicios de los 2020s. Con estas se busca enfrentar los peligros del mecanicismo y revisionismo (Marini, 1973) en su recuperación en un contexto marcado por el largo repliegue del movimiento popular (1994-2019). La primera herramienta corresponde al método de comparación incorporada de olas de protesta propuesto por Silver (2003). La segunda consiste en discutir los conceptos de estrategia y táctica, integrando la estrategia del Movimiento de Izquierda Revolucionaria 1967-1973 en patrones globales de desarrollo del pensamiento socialista. El artículo concluye dejando abierta la pregunta por una política de poder popular con perspectiva geopolítica.

El triángulo geoestratégico China, Rusia e Irán cuestiona el poder de la Tríada
Authors: Martinelli Martín Alejandro
Published: May 2024

La propuesta del artículo es analizar la irrupción de los polos emergentes China, Irán y Rusia, que tienden a asociarse en un triángulo geoestratégico. Este se ha ido gestando en la etapa posterior a la Guerra Fría y acentuado recientemente, en diferentes aristas. Se manifiestan ejes de presión en esas áreas neurálgicas de Eurasia: Asia-Pacífico (“Mediterráneo asiático”), Asia Occidental y Europa Oriental (“Mediterráneo euroárabe”). Abordaremos la noción de imperialismo centrados en las lógicas territorial y económica, y el ajuste espacial, considerando las escalas de centro, semiperiferia y periferia. Desde ese enfoque analizaremos la geoestrategia del eje tripartito y su impacto en la confrontación con la hegemonía estadounidense, en la reconfiguración geopolítica y mundial de la última década.
Del G7 a los BRICS+: la transición del sistema mundial y el escenario geopolítico
Authors: Merino Gabriel Esteban
Published: May 2024

La aparición de los BRICS y su desarrollo constituye uno de los hechos centrales para analizar la profunda transformación en el mapa del poder mundial y, en particular, las dimensiones política y geopolítica de la transición histórico-espacial contemporánea del sistema mundial. Su ampliación a once países a partir de la cumbre en Sudáfrica de 2023, a efectivizarse el  1 de enero de 2024, expresa el avance de los poderes emergentes en un escenario multipolar y de quiebre de la hegemonía estadounidense o angloestadounidense.  El problema central de este trabajo es indagar sobre la ‘naturaleza’ y el significado de los BRICS en relación a la dimensión geopolítica de la transición histórico-espacial del sistema mundial, para analizar a partir de allí la ampliación acontecida en septiembre de 2022, en plena etapa de “Caos Sistémico”. Las ideas principales del trabajo son que los BRICS expresan un ascenso e insubordinación de la semiperiferia y potencias medias de escala continental en articulación global y que su ampliación da cuenta de la extensión de este proceso a otros territorios del Sur Global, con importantes implicancias geopolíticas: se incorporan países clave de ‘Medio Oriente’ o de la región central de Afro-eurasia de cultura musulmana (Arabia Saudita, Egipto, Emiratos Árabes Unidos e Irán), se amplía la representación africana (Egipto y Etiopía) y está invitado a sumarse Argentina, lo que fortalecería el desarrollo del polo de poder suramericano.
Imperialismo “soft”: asistencia de Estados Unidos y lawfare en América Latina
Authors: ROMANO SILVINA MARIA , LAJTMAN TAMARA , GARCIA FERNANDEZ ANIBAL
Published: May 2024

El momento más álgido del imperialismo estadounidense se registra al inicio de la Guerra Fría, cuando se articularon diversas estrategias de expansión, incluida la asistencia para el desarrollo (como parte de guerra psicológica), articulada con las estrategias de Seguridad Hemisférica. Entendemos el “imperialismo soft” como una continuidad de esas estrategias, que se materializan en procesos de desestabilización como el lawfare. Esta guerra por la vía judicial contra gobiernos y sectores que cuestionan el orden neoliberal, se concreta especialmente en la asistencia destinada para aparatos judiciales, proyectándose también en sectores estratégicos a través de sanciones, o incluyendo operativos encubiertos en embajadas, en continuidad con la guerra psicológica. El artículo propone identificar las instituciones, dinámicas y procesos que dan cuenta de la presencia de agencias del gobierno de EE.UU. y su sector privado en casos concretos de lawfare, focalizando en la asistencia para la reforma judicial iniciada en la década de los ’80. Para ello se realiza un análisis de contenido de diversas fuentes del gobierno de EE.UU., de documentos de WikiLeaks, fuentes secundarias y material de prensa. Se concluye que la asistencia para aparatos judiciales, así como su proyección en sectores estratégicos, funciona como factor de presión, dentro de los Estados, para retomar o reforzar la vía neoliberal. Este proceso apunta también a una estandarización de los aparatos judiciales complementaria con la estandarización de las FFAA, según los intereses y necesidades de la seguridad nacional de EE.UU., núcleo de la expansión imperial.
An unusual case of Uterine window revealing the placenta: A Diagnostic dilemma between Scar dehiscence and the Placenta Accreta Spectrum.

Published: May 2024

Uterine scar dehiscence, or the "uterine window," is a complication of a repeat cesarean section. Preterm delivery, caesarean sections performed more than twice in the past, or less than a 24-month interval between deliveries are all connected with an increased risk. The terms Placenta Accreta Spectrum (PAS) and uterine scar dehiscence are frequently used interchangeably. A 25-year-old unbooked pregnant woman, gravida 3 para 2 live 1, presented to OPD at 37 weeks gestation. During the intraoperative phase, we discovered a silent scar dehiscence with partially visible placental lobes under the intact serosa mimicking the Placenta Accreta Spectrum. A lower-segment caesarean section was performed, and the placenta was totally separated. After the cesarean incision was closed, the myometrial defect was corrected. It is crucial to distinguish it from disorders in the Placenta Accreta Spectrum, as prenatal imaging can be deceptive if not performed with the requisite expertise to distinguish between the two conditions. This distinction will inform the treatment strategies for uterine dehiscence and PAS disorders, which are distinct.
