Spontaan hemoperitoneum tijdens de zwangerschap: een zeldzame vorm van acute abdominale pijn tijdens de zwangerschap
Authors: Brusselmans F. , Loccufier A.
Published: February 2022

A spontaneous Hemoperitoneum during Pregnancy: a rare complication during pregnancy

Background. Acute abdominal pain during pregnancy is a common cause of referral to the emergency department. Making the correct diagnosis is challenging, because symptoms in pregnant women can be non-specific or referred as a normal symptom caused by uterine growth.

Case report series. Three cases are discussed. All of them are primigravida (39w5d, 36w2d and 23w6d). They attend at the emergency department because of acute abdominal pain, without vaginal blood loss, in absence of clear contractions and with good fetal conditions. The diagnosis is established by clinical assessment, blood results and medical imaging. The most favorable imaging for the diagnosis of free fluid is the execution of an abdominal ultrasound. In absence of fetal distress or signs of hypovolemic shock, watchful waiting could be applied. If the decision is made for surgical intervention, it consists of establishing hemostasis by laparoscopy or laparotomy. Maternal mortality is low, in contrast with a high perinatal morbidity and mortality.

Conclusion: SHIP is a rare complication during pregnancy with a high perinatal morbidity and mortality. In half of the cases an association with endometriosis can be found. Recognition of SHIP is crucial to improve pregnancy outcomes.

Published: February 2022

Background: Haemoglobin disorders such as Sickle cell disease (SCD) have been acknowledged to be of great public health concern by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2006. To reduce the tremendous public health and economic burden SCD exerts on many countries, the WHO is urging countries, especially those in Africa, to increase public awareness of the disease. Such awareness programmes among the young unmarried population will go a long way to prevent the birth of children with this painful genetic condition.

Purpose: This study therefore sought to assess the level of knowledge, attitude to people living with SCD, and perception of SCD among undergraduate students of the University of Cape Coast, Ghana.

Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out. A total of 400 participants were selected using multistage sampling technique. Data was collected using a pretested, self-administered questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS software, version 25.

Results: Almost all the students (96.75%) were aware of SCD. School and the media were the main sources of information (50.65%, 32.3% respectively). The mean knowledge score was 4.73 ± 2.41 (maximum score of 12) with 62%, 35.8% and 2.3% of participants having inadequate, moderate and adequate knowledge respectively. Majority of the participants (81.8%) had positive attitudes towards people living with SCD. Most respondents (78.5%) were likely to perform premarital genotype screening.

Conclusion: In general, there was inadequate knowledge on SCD despite the high level of awareness among participants.

Recommendation: Findings of the study highlights the need for continuous effective health education on sickle cell disease to students whose reproductive health choices will either increase or decrease the sickle cell disease burden in the very near future.
A magyar diplomácia újjászületése Afrikában Déli nyitási kísérletek a magyar külpolitikában a 19-20. században: fókuszban az 1960-70-es évek
Authors: Solymári Dániel , Tarrósy István
Published: February 2022

A 2015-ben meghirdetett „déli nyitás” stratégiával új időszámítás vette kezdetét a magyar külpolitikában. A külügyi fókusz – egyebek mellett – a szubszaharai afrikai gazdasági kapcsolatok erősítését tűzte ki célul. 2019-ben pedig kormányzati Afrika-stratégia született, és az 1989-es magyar rendszerváltás óta abban az évben zajlott először hivatalos miniszterelnöki, 2022- ben pedig államelnöki látogatás a Szaharától délre fekvő afrikai országban. Mindez azonban messze túlmutat a magyar afrikanisztikán: közvetett módon a magyar diplomácia 1960-as és 1970-es évekbeli pragmatikus és építkező külpolitikájának a folytatása, amely az 1989-ben meghatározott külpolitikai prioritások sorában háttérbe szorult. A jelen írásunk azokat a politikatörténeti alapokat mutatja be – kiemelten az 1960-as és az 1970-es években Afrikában elért eredményekre –, amelyek megteremtették a lehetőségét az önálló, később kibontakozódó magyar külpolitikának.

The main objective of the study is the formulation and evaluation of effervescent floating tablet of levofloxacin by using limonia acidissima and xanthan as natural gum. The preformulation study of levofloxacin was conducted and λmax was found at 288 nm. The Effervescent Floating tablets containing levofloxacin were prepared by direct compression technique using Limonia acidissima and xanthan gum combination and varying concentrations of different ratio of polymers with Sodium bicarbonate and citric acid. All the ingredients were accurately weighed and passed through different mesh sieve no. 40. Drug, Polymer and other excipients (except talc and magnesium streate) were mixed thoroughly, passed thoroughly, passed through sieved number 40. Then, except Magnesium stearate all other ingredients were blended uniformly in glass mortar. Various formulations of effervescent floating tablet of levofloxacin F1,F2,F3,F4,F5,F6,F7 and F8 was prepared. The prepared granules was evaluated for different parameters like Bulk density, Tapped density, Angle of repose, Carr's index, Hausner's ratio, which shows the excellent flow properties of formulation. The physical characteristic of levofloxacin effervescent floating tablets (F1 to F8) such as thickness, diameter, hardness, friability, weight variation and drug content were determined and results of the formulations (F1 to F8) found to be within the limits specified in official books. The drug content of all the formulation were found to be in the range of 95.2 to 99.2. Effervescent floating tablet of different formulations were noted. With reference to buoyancy studies results it can be concluded that the batch containing limonia acidissima showed good buoyancy lag time (BLT) and total floating time (TFT). Formulation F1 and F8 containing xanthan gum showed good BLT of 28 and 78 sec and TFT of more than 12 hrs. The drug released from formulation F1 to F4 was found to be 93.2, 93.3, 94.2 and 90.1% for levofloxacin respectively. The drug released from formulation F5 to F8 was found to be 89.3, 88.1, 90.1 and 95.1 % for levofloxacin respectively.

TRANSLATED WORKS BY ALIHANTURA SAGUNI: GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND PRIMARY ANALYSIS
Authors: Arslonov Zarifjon
Published: February 2022

The scientific heritage of Alikhantura Saguni (1885-1976) is of two types: works by the scholar himself and translated works. The article describes the translated works of the scholar, including “The History of Bukhara or Mawarannahr” by Herman Vamberi, “Musical Treatise” by Darvesh Ali Changi, “Navadir al-Waqai” by Ahmad Danish, “Tuzuks” by Amir Timur, the history of their writing, their content and specificity, as well as a preliminary analysis. Alikhantura Saguni’s personality is known to all through his political activities. However, his scientific heritage has not yet been adequately studied. For example, even though his works “The Sorrows of Turkestan” and “History of Muhammad” have been published several times, they have not been studied in detail, such as the political, educational, and religious environment, sources, and current state of affairs. If we talk about the translated works described and analyzed in this article, they are among the masterpieces in their field. For example, Amir Timur’s Tuzuks was written in Turkish, but today only Persian copies are preserved, which is considered unique in its field. The issue of the seven types of notes mentioned in Changi’s Musical Treatise shows how valuable this work is in music. However, in Europe, only one record is known. Another historical source translated into Uzbek by Saguni is “History of Bukhara or Mawarannahr” by Herman Vamberi, a Hungarian known for travelle knowledge of Oriental languages. This work is of specific importance. It covers the history of Central Asia from the earliest times to the second half of the XIX century. It relies on many primary sources. Ahmad Danish’s “Navadir al-Waqa’i” on the history of the Bukhara Emirate is another discovery by Saguni. The translator himself spoke in detail about the importance of this work in the introduction to the book. All the works translated by Alikhantora Saguni are of great importance with their unique information.

Authors:   , Corin Alan Clifford
Published: February 2022

The purpose of this investigation was to determine the relative effect of the four-electrode as opposed to the pen-electrode interferential current method in the treatment of myofascial pain syndromes. This was a randomised clinical trial consisting of two groups. Group A received four-electrode interferential current therapy, while Group B received pen-electrode interferential current therapy. Each group consisted of 15 subjects, between the ages of 18 and 55 years, selected from the general population. Subjects diagnosed with active myofascial trigger points in any of the following muscles: trapezius, levator scapulae, supraspinatus, infraspinatus and rhomboid major and minor, were admitted into the study. Each subject received five treatments over a period of three weeks followed by a one-month follow-up consultation. Each subject was assessed by means of the CMCC Neck Disability Index, short-form McGill Pain Questionnaire and the Numerical Pain Questionnaire; as well as pain threshold readings by means of an algometer and cervical spine ranges of motion measurements by means of a cervical goniometer. Readings were taken at the first, fifth and follow-up consultations for all subjective and objective measurements.
A homoeopathic drug proving of the fungus Pycnoporus sanguineus
Authors:   , Morris Catherine Anne
Published: February 2022

The fungus Pycnoporus sanguineus was selected for this research project because of its similarity in appearance to a human kidney. It was initially thought that a connection to the Doctrine of Signatures could be proved, however, this was not the ultimate purpose of this research project. The purpose of this placebo-controlled investigation was to determine the effects of the thirtieth centesimal (30CH) potency of Pycnoporus sanguineus on individuals of average health; in order to discover the totality of symptoms produced by the remedy so that it may be prescribed according to the law of similars, as required by Homoeopathic science. It was hypothesised that this study would produce a list of symptoms associated with this substance, Pycnoporus sanguineus, which, can then be used Homoeopathically (according to the totality of symptoms produced by the drug so that it may be prescribed according to the law of similars) in the treatment of disease where no other remedy has yet acted precisely and thus be able to cure a class of cases that until then could only have been partially covered by existing remedies (Sherr 1994:58). This Homoeopathic drug proving of Pycnoporus sanguineus 30CH took the form of a double blind, placebo controlled trial on 30 subjects who met all the inclusion criteria. Fifty percent (15 of the 30) of the subjects received placebo in a randomised fashion, so that neither the provers nor the researcher knew who was receiving placebo or verum. As an added control measure, the provers were unaware of the substance, which they were proving or in which potency it was being proved. The study design consisted of two groups: one control group with placebo controls and the other experimental group, which also has intraindividual controls in which the prover serves as his or her own control i.e. the recorded state of the prover prior to the administration of the proving substance served as a control or baseline for comparison to the prover under the influence of the proving substance.

Published: February 2022

The first objective was to investigate the effect of Sutherlandia frutescens 30CH on healthy provers and to record the signs and symptoms produced, so that it could be prescribed according to the Law of Similars, as required by homoeopathy. The second objective was to analyze the symptoms obtained from this proving in a direct comparison to the effects of the major pharmacologically active compounds present in Sutherlandia frutescens. A double blind proving of Sutherlandia frutescens 30CH was conducted. Twenty-four provers were selected and randomly divided into two groups, those receiving medicated powders (18 subjects) and those receiving the placebo powders (6 subjects). As an added control measure, the subjects were also ignorant to both the nature of the proving substance and the administered potency. Prior to taking the remedy, each patient provided their own case history and received a physical examination so as to establish each individual's baseline. Each prover was then required to keep a daily journal, in which all symptoms were recorded in accordance with a suggested guide. The researchers then collated the data and translated the symptoms produced into Materia Medica and repertory language. Finally a homoeopathic picture of the remedy emerged in which marked themes exist. These themes and central characteristics of the remedy were then compared to the toxicology of the major chemical constituents of Sutherlandia frutescens. Data was analyzed by

Problem.The article, which is a continuation of our research on the decanonization of genres in the 1990s, clarifies the specifics of modeling the image of the interviewee in the genre conglomerate of the Kinokurer newspaper (1995). Methodology. Descriptive, systematic methods were used in the study. The descriptive method allows you to capture all the information needed to cover the topic of a scientific article. The systematic method allows to find out the specifics of modeling the image of the interviewee by analyzing the elements of journalistic texts and establishing relationships between them. The object of the study is the image of the interviewed in the genre conglomerate of the newspaper "Kinokurer" (1995). The subject of the research is the peculiarities of modeling the image of the interviewee in the genre conglomerate of the newspaper "Kinokurer" (1995). Conclusions. In mini-journals, journalists model the images of the interviewees, often identifying some of their character traits and using parceled sentences that attract the recipient's attention, epithets, metaphors, periphrases, antitheses, gradations, apocrypha, aposiopesis, portrait details that perform not only descriptive but and emphasize the character trait of the interviewee or record a change in his emotional state. Interviewers create conditions for the maximum self-disclosure of the multifaceted personality of the interviewees through questions focused mainly on the creativity of the interviewees, their values, personal life, etc. To increasethe informativeness of the interview and its character potential, interviewers sometimes use questioning. Answers that include the self-characteristics of the interviewees, verbalization of their attitude to the present, relatives, colleagues, film directors, etc., memories, self-criticism, are the technology of self-modeling the image of the interviewees. The genre conglomerate "mininaris + interview" thanks to the polyphony created by the author or polyauthor allows to expand the range of means of modeling the image of the interviewee. Keywords: genre conglomerate, interviewee, interviewer, image-modelling tools.

Authors: Saad Correa Elizabeth , C. da Silveira Stefanie
Published: February 2022

The journalistic industry is facing a crisis since the Internet started to challenge its solid and old business model. The media companies and only them held the spaces for advertisers to reach thousands of people at the same time with their message. Once the monopoly has fallen, the revenues started dropping, the circulation of newspapers decreased deeply and the consumer’s attention moved to other platforms like social media, for example. Taking this into account, we intend to present here a discussion about the news business models, including revenue models, that are being adopted by some Brazilian industry examples. Our work is a didactic research considering business models is still an unsolved issue for this industry. Since there is no paradigm, what we present is a panorama of choices, remixes and customized adaptations. As ours research questions we have: RQ1: What kind of new business/revenue models are being adopted by media?RQ2: What are the differences between Brazilian big publishers and independent media strategies?To bring light and develop this questioning we start discussing innovation in journalistic industries. Also, we follow our discussion here with an outlook on the business models existent and the new ones that are being adopted or created by media companies. To end our work we present a list of strategies that are being used in mainstream firms from Brazil and also the ones that are created or adopted by the new companies that are born in the actual digital context. As our research method, we adopt the non-participant observation of the market and the companies here specified and the use of documents and media articles that present the strategies used by journalistic brands to face the revenue crisis. The main finding of the research isthat most of the companies are adopting the same strategies, in a “wave movement”, where once one companie gives it a try the other go with the flow.

The contagion is eased by bad habit like does not wash hand after touching others or stuff. To date, data says that The Covid-19 morbidity rate is still highest in a densely populated place. Even though several mechanisms in the community have been done to prevent the spreading of this disease, but the spread is still relatively high and needs medical treatment intervention in the health care system especially in the hospital.1 Moreover, the daily hospital treatment of Covid-19 patientsâ€™ needs appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) to protect and to minimalize the risk of infection to health workers.

Published: February 2022

Introduction: House dust mite (HDM) allergy has been reported as an actual cause of asthma in children. Subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) is a recommended treatment for HDM allergy patients. However, there were limited data about the characteristic of pediatric patients with HDM-SCIT, particularly in Indonesia. This study was aimed to evaluate the characteristic of pediatric patients with allergic asthma.

Methods: Study participants were pediatric patients confirmed with HDM allergy from Skin Prick Test (SPT) in the pediatric allergy-immunology outpatient clinic in Saiful Anwar Hospital Malang, Indonesia. Patients who were treated with HDM-SCIT in the early build-up phase of treatment were included in this study. Demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients were recorded. Peripheral blood samples were drawn to evaluate the total eosinophil count (TEC), total basophil count (TBC), neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), specific IgE (sIgE) and total IgE (t-IgE) level. Clinical diagnosis of asthma was classified according to the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) criteria. The evaluation of asthma control was assessed by the Asthma Control Test (ACT) score. 

Results: Thirty-two patients were enrolled in this study, including 14 male and 18 female. The mean age of children was 6.92 ± 2.60 years old. There were 21 subjects with uncontrolled asthma and 11 subjects with partially controlled asthma. Demographic characteristics including age, sex, nutritional status and family history were not significantly different between uncontrolled and partially controlled asthma groups (p> 0.05). TEC, TBC, NLR, and tIgE were not different significantly among groups (p> 0.05). This study showed that the mean of sIgE serum level was higher in uncontrolled asthma compared to partially controlled asthma group (p= 0.022). Moreover, it was a negative significant correlation between sIgE serum level and ACT score (p= 0.002, r= -0.532). 

Conclusion: Higher sIgE levels were correlated with poor asthma control in HDM-SCIT patients.

Introduction: Septic arthritis (SA) is a serious joint infection associated with significant morbidity that can cause permanent damage with articular cartilage destruction, osteonecrosis, and lifelong deformities. Here we present a good outcome of newborn septic arthritis with prompt treatment.

Case Presentation: A one-month-old boy was brought with swelling of both knee joints two weeks before admission. He has a history of preterm birth and was hospitalized in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) because of neonatal pneumonia and sepsis. Several days after treatment, he came with swollen on both knees, both knee joint synovial liquid and sputum culture showed Klebsiella pneumoniae. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) was found intra articular fluid and erosion of the epiphyseal cartilage suspect infection process. After establishing the diagnosis of SA, we initiated treatment with cloxacillin 60 mg/kgs body weight for 14 days. He underwent debridement and physiotherapist. One year after discharge, the physical examinations showed normal findings and had a normal gait.

Conclusion: It can be concluded that prompt diagnosis and treatment of SA on the newborn will have a good outcome with no sequelae. An early diagnosis of SA can guide clinicians to initiate a standardized treatment and improve patient outcomes.

Abstract. Furans are emitted to the atmosphere during biomass burning from
the pyrolysis of cellulose. They are one of the major contributing volatile organic compound (VOC) classes to OH and NO3 reactivity in biomass burning plumes. The major
removal process of furans from the atmosphere at night is reaction with the
nitrate radical, NO3. Here, we report a series of relative rate
experiments in the 7300 L indoor simulation chamber at Institut de Combustion Aérothermique Réactivité et Environnement, Centre national de la recherche scientifique (ICARE-CNRS),
Orléans, using a number of different reference compounds to determine
NO3 reaction rate coefficients for four furans, two furanones, and
pyrrole. In the case of the two furanones, this is the first time that
NO3 rate coefficients have been reported. The recommended values
(cm3 molec.−1 s−1) are as follows: furan, (1.49 ± 0.23) × 10−12; 2-methylfuran, (2.26 ± 0.52) × 10−11; 2,5-dimethylfuran, (1.02 ± 0.31) × 10−10;
furfural (furan-2-aldehyde), (9.07 ± 2.3) × 10−14; α-angelicalactone (5-methyl-2(3H)-furanone), (3.01 ± 0.45) × 10−12; γ-crotonolactone (2(5H)-furanone), <1.4 × 10−16; and pyrrole, (6.94 ± 1.9) × 10−11. The furfural + NO3 reaction rate coefficient is found to
be an order of magnitude smaller than previously reported. These experiments
show that for furan, alkyl-substituted furans, α-angelicalactone,
and pyrrole, reaction with NO3 will be the dominant removal process at
night and may also contribute during the day. For γ-crotonolactone,
reaction with NO3 is not an important atmospheric sink.

Abstract. Tropical mangrove forests are important carbon sinks, the soil being the main reservoir of this chemical element. Understanding the variability and the key factors that control fluxes is critical to account for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, especially in a scenario of global climate change. The current study is the first to quantify methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions using a dynamic chamber in Amazon natural mangrove soils. Sampling points were selected in a contrasting topographic gradient, the highest point being where flooding occurs only at high tides during the solstice and on the high tides of the rainy season of the new and full moons. The results showed that mangrove soils are sources of greenhouse gases, and CO2 fluxes were not different between seasons, and only in the dry period were they greater in the high topography. Only in the low topography, the CH4 fluxes were higher in the rainy season. However, in the dry period, the low topography soil produced more CH4. Soil organic matter, carbon and nitrogen ratio (C / N), and redox potential influenced the annual and seasonal variation of CO2 emissions; however, they did not influence CH4 flux. To account for global GHG emissions, in the Amazonian estuary mangrove soil produced 35.4 Mg CO2-eq ha−1 yr−1.

Abstract. China is the largest reforestation country in the world and the accurate estimation of its forest biomass carbon (C) pool is critical for evaluating the country’s C budget and ecosystem services of forests. Although several studies have estimated China’s forest biomass using national forest inventory data, most of them were limited to the period of 2004–2008. In this study, we extended our estimation to the most recent period of 2014–2018. Using datasets of eight inventory periods from 1977 to 2018 and the continuous biomass expansion factor method, we estimated that the total biomass C pool and average biomass C density of Chinese forests increased from 4717 Tg C (1 Tg = 1012 g) in the period of 1977–1981 to 7975 Tg C in the period of 2014–2018 and 38.2 Mg C ha−1 to 45.8 Mg C ha−1 (1 Mg = 106 g), respectively, with a net increase of 3258 Tg C and an annual sink of 88.0 Tg C year−1. Over the recent 10 years (2009–2018) the averaged national biomass C density and C sink showed a respective increase of 5.0 Mg C ha−1 and 91.5 Tg C year−1 much larger than those of 39.6 Mg C ha−1 and 63.3 Tg C year−1 in the period of 1977–2008. These pronouncing increases were largely attributed to afforestation practices, forest age growth, and environmental changes. Our results have documented the importance of ecological restoration practices and provided an essential basis for assessing ecosystem services and achieving China's C neutrality target.

Abstract. Knowing the components of ecosystem scale carbon exchange is crucial in order to develop better models and future predictions of the terrestrial carbon cycle. However, there are several uncertainties and unknowns related to current photosynthesis estimates. In this study, we test the use of four different methods for quantifying photosynthesis at the ecosystem scale, of which two are based on carbon dioxide (CO2) and two on carbonyl sulfide (COS) flux measurements. The CO2-based methods use traditional flux partitioning and artificial neural networks to separate the net CO2 flux into respiration and photosynthesis. The COS-based methods make use of a unique five year COS flux data set at a boreal forest and include two different approaches to determine the leaf scale uptake ratio of COS and CO2 (LRU), of which one (LRUCAP) was developed in this study. LRUCAP was based on stomatal conductance theories, while the other was based on an empirical relation to measured radiation (LRUPAR). We found that for the measurement period 2013–2017 the artificial neural networks method gave a GPP estimate very close to that of traditional flux partitioning at all time scales. COS-based methods gave on average higher GPP estimates than the CO2-based estimates on daily (23 and 7 % higher, if using LRUPAR or LRUCAP in GPP calculation, respectively) and monthly scales (20 and 3 % higher), as well as a higher cumulative sum over three months in all years (on average 25 and 3 % higher). LRUCAP was higher than measured LRU at high radiation leading to an underestimated GPP during midday. However, in general it compared better with the CO2-based methods than LRUPAR -based GPP calculations. The applicability of LRUCAP at other measurement sites is potentially better than that of LRUPAR since its parameters are based on literature values and simple meteorological measurements, while the radiation relation in LRUPAR might be site-specific. This, however, requires further testing at other measurement sites.
