Research objective: to assess the morpho-functional status of the fetoplacental complex and hemostasis system in pregnant women with congenital malformations in the fetus to prevent antenatal fetal death and determine further tactics of management and delivery.Materials and methods. The state of fetoplacental circulation was studied in 120 pregnant women with fetal congenital malformations in the third trimester by Doppler assessment of blood flow in the umbilical artery (UA) and middle cerebral artery (MCA) in the fetus, with resistance index, pulse index and maximum systolic and terminal diastolic velocities ratio. The functional activity of the hemostasis system was assessed by low-frequency piezoelectric thromboelastography. Morphological examination of the placenta was performed. The control group included 25 pregnant women without fetal congenital malformations.Results. In case of Doppler flow disturbances in UA and combination of these disturbances with hypercoagulability, the probability of antenatal fetal death if there were congenital malformations ranged from 2–3 to 7–14 days (r = 0.51 and r = 0.55, respectively). A high risk of antenatal fetal death occurred with blood flow disorders in the UA and MCA (r = 0.70), as well as with blood flow disorders in the UA in combination with hypercoagulation and inhibition of fibrinolysis (r = 0.78). The highest risk of antenatal death occurred in case of impaired blood flow in the MCA with hypercoagulation and inhibition of fibrinolysis (r = +0.99).An urgent delivery within a day is indicated when there are blood flow disorders in the UA or MCA, combined with hypercoagulation and inhibition of fibrinolysis. The respiratory distress syndrome is treated by administering a surfactant at gestational ages up to 34 weeks. Delivery within 2–3 days is indicated in case of impaired blood flow in the UA and hypercoagulation, this allows preventing of respiratory distress syndrome with corticosteroids if the gestational age is less than 34 weeks. Conclusions. In pregnant women with fetal congenital malformations, significant disturbances in blood flow in the UA (increased resistance index and maximum systolic and final diastolic velocities ratio) and decreased pulse index in the MCA were revealed, which indicates intrauterine hypoxia and centralization of blood flow. The functional activity of the hemostasis system was characterized by an increase in the blood coagulation potential in the vascular-platelet, a coagulation unit, which was accompanied by morphological and functional changes in the placenta in response to hypoxia.Implementation of the proposed algorithm for perinatal support of pregnant women with fetal congenital malformations and placental dysfunction helps to optimize pregnancy management and delivery, reduce perinatal morbidity and mortality.

The main goal of Asherman’s syndrome treatment is to restore the volume and shape of the uterine cavity, regenerate the endometrium and reproductive function. Recently, in addition to ultrasound diagnostics of intrauterine synechiae, office hysteroscopy is widely used. The most standardized stages of Asherman’s syndrome treatment are hysteroscopic dissection of the uterine cavity synechiae and endometrium re-adhesion prevention in the postoperative period, which is achieved by the introduction of the intrauterine device, anti-adhesive drugs or balloon catheters inserted intrauterinely. The main difficulties are to find effective ways to prevent adhesion that occurs after removal of mechanical means from the uterine cavity and ways to restore the endometrium morphology in patients wishing to achieve pregnancy. The most promising technique in this area is the use of autologous endometrial stem cells. Here is a case of treatment of a reproductive age patient with infertility and Asherman’s syndrome. The clinical case was a part of a clinical trial Clinical Trials.gov Identifier: NCT04675970. On the eve of the operative stage for uterine cavity synechiae separation 20.0 ml of venous blood was taken. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were isolated from the patient’s peripheral blood using the magnetic separation method of the autoMACS Pro Separator (Miltenyi Biotec). According to the international instructions, 6th passage MSCs were clinically used. Confirmation of belonging the derived cells to the MSCs group was performed using the set Bio-Techne FMC-020 (Great Britain). In addition, MSCs were differentiated to endometrial cells, which was confirmed using endometrial cell matching markers in generations P0-P3 (passage 0 – passage 3) with the MicroBead Kit (USA). The operative stage of treatment included office hysteroscopy, mechanical synechiolysis in the endocervix and endometrium and introduction of a silver-containing intrauterine device. Subendometrial injection of autologous endometrial MSCs was performed to restore the endometrium structure at the end of hysteroscopy. High dose adjuvant estrogen therapy followed for 3 weeks. Pregnancy was achieved spontaneously 2 years after the intervention. The patient gave birth to a full-term baby girl.The results of the clinical case indicate the prospects for the use of autologous blood stem cells converted into endometrial cells in the treatment of infertility in patients with CA in the absence of effect from previous attempts to restore fertility by traditional therapies.

Research objective: to improve the effectiveness of diagnosis and prognosis of complications in women of reproductive age with atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance/cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (ASCUS/CIN) of the cervix in Trichomonas and papillomavirus infection by studying the main biochemical and immunological parameters of vaginal contents. Materials and methods. 200 women of reproductive age with ASCUS/CIN of the cervix were examined against the background of papillomavirus infection associated with trichomoniasis, who were divided into three main groups according to the results of the PAP-test. Group I consisted of 50 patients with ASCUS, II – 118 women with LSiL, III – 32 patients with HSiL. The control group included 50 healthy non-pregnant women. The analysis of biochemical parameters of vaginal contents was carried out, which included determining the concentration of total protein, urea, studying mineral and lipid metabolism, glucose, enzyme activity, as well as factors of non-specific resistance – secretory immunoglobulin A and hydrogen peroxide.Results. There was a 2.6-fold increase in the amount of discharge from the genital tract and their pathological nature in patients with urogenital trichomoniasis and ASCUS/CIN against the background of papillomavirus infection, an increase in acidity by 1.2 times, the indicator of the amine test by 13 times, protein concentration by 2.3 times, compared with similar indicators in healthy women. Analysis of mineral metabolism in this contingent of patients revealed a decrease in the concentration of copper ions by 1.7 times, iron by 1.9 times, and calcium by 1.6 times. Evaluation of the enzyme activity revealed an increase in the level of alkaline phosphatase by 3.7 times, creatine phosphokinase by 10.6 times, AST by 6.5 times, ALT by 9.1 times, lactate dehydrogenase by 5.4 times, and α-amylase by 3.3 times compared to women in the control group. A decrease in the average value of sІgA content in patients with ASCUS/CIN on the background of HPV and Trichomonas invasion was found than in healthy women by 1.7, 1.9 and 2 times, respectively, in the I, II and III main groups, which can serve as a predictor of the development of post-trichomonas vaginal dysbiosis.Conclusions. Analysis of the results of studies of vaginal contents in women with ASCUS/CIN against the background of human papillomavirus and Trichomonas invasion revealed significant changes in biochemical parameters and factors of non-specific resistance, determining the corresponding pathological changes in the functional activity of the vaginal epithelium and the composition of the vaginal biotope.

Published: June 2022

Introduction: One of the worrying and increasing environmental problems is urban and industrial waste water pollution, such as chromium (Cr). Given the destructive effects of Cr  and non-degradability, its removal is of great importance. Adsorption method by low-cost biosorbents has been a successful method in during the last decade. This study aims to examine the effect of usual and acid-modified fig leaves powder as a biosorbent for removing of Cr (VI) from a synthetic aqueous solution.
Methods: Laboratory tests were designed and implemented, including solution making of Cr (VI) and then  in order to study the effect of different parameters, including solution pH, contact time, solution concentration, and adsorbent dosage, the secondary amount of chromium concentration was measured and compared by atomic absorption spectrometer.
Results: The results showed that for usual adsorbent, optimum parameters included pH 2, 200mg/l initial concentration, 40g adsorbent concentration, and 120min equilibrium time while for the modified adsorbent, optimum parameters were pH 3, 300mg/l initial concentration, 40g adsorbent concentration, and 120min equilibrium time. The maximum adsorption percentage of Cr (VI) in the first case was 54.33% and in the second case was 91.50%. In addition, by examining adsorption isotherms and kinetic models, it was found that Cr adsorption in both cases  follows Langmuir isotherm (R2=0.942 for usual and R2=0.975 for modified adsorbent) and pseudo-second order kinetic model (R2=0.976 for usual and R2=0.982 for modified adsorbent).
Conclusion: More efficient removal of Cr using a modified adsorbent compared to usual adsorbent and previous studies indicates the suitability of modified fig leaves powder as an adsorbent of Cr (VI).

Vaginal atrophy is one of the most common complaints in postmenopausal women. Symptoms of vaginal atrophy include dryness, itching, bleeding, and dyspareunia. According to Traditional Persian Medicine (TPM), the using of moisturizing plants can treat dry mucous membranes. TPM suggests the use of marshmallow (Alcea angulata) to moisturize dry mucus with its mucilage. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Alcea on the treatment of vaginal atrophy. This double-blind, clinical trial was conducted on 60 postmenopausal women with vaginal atrophy (40 – 65 years of age). The patients were randomly assigned into two groups of treatment and control (n = 30). The treatment group received Alcea vaginal suppository 5% (125 mg), and the control group received placebo. Both groups used suppositories every night for two weeks and every other night for six weeks. Vaginal Maturation Value (VMV), symptoms of vaginal atrophy, and pH were compared before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using SPSS 16. VMV was increased in the treatment group, from 40.30 ±13.27 to 46.40 ± 11.27, (p ˂ 0.0001) compared to the control group, in which the change of VMV was not significant (p ˂ 0.122). The vaginal pH was significantly decreased in the treatment group, from 6.45 ± 0.92 to 5.52 ± 0.62, (p ˂ 0.0001) compared to the control group, in which the change of pH was not significant (p ˂ 0.257). The symptoms were significantly reduced in the treatment group. It seems that Alcea vaginal suppository can be useful as a natural product to relieve the symptoms of vaginal atrophy.

Back pain is a common complaint seen in patients after coronary angiography. This study investigated the efficacy of ear acupressure for reduction of back pain in patients after coronary angiography. In this trial, 120 patients recruited from a post-angiography ward were allocated to an ear acupressure or a control group. Pain assessment in intervention group was performed immediately after participants entered post- coronary angiography ward (T0), twenty minutes after entering the ward (T1), and two, four, and six hours after the intervention (T2–T4). Pain in control group was assessed at the times similar to intervention group. Data were analyzed using the SPSS software (v. 19) by Chi-square, Fisher’s exact, independent t tests, Friedman test, Wilcoxon signed-rank, and Mann-Whitney U test. Final data analysis was done on the data gathered from 58 participants in the control group and 59 in the ear acupressure group. The pain intensity at T1–T4 for patients in the control group was significantly higher than T0 (P < 0.001), while patients in the ear acupressure group reported that pain intensity at T2–T4 was significantly higher than T0 for them (P < 0.001). Only at T1 and T2, pain intensity in the ear acupressure group was significantly less compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Ear acupressure in this study was effective to some extent in reducing back pain after coronary angiography. Future studies can be designed to examine the effects of ear acupressure using different ear acupressure points on the back pain after coronary angiography.

Experiencing complications within the first two weeks after stroke leads to a high risk of mortality and length of hospitalization. The present pilot study was intended to investigate the hypothesis that adult patients treated with safflower or not would present with fewer neurological complications following 15 days. In a randomized controlled trial, subjects diagnosed with ischemic cerebrovascular accident (CVA) based on focal neurological findings on brain imaging who met the inclusion criteria of our study were recruited from Ghaem Hospital, Mashhad, Iran, between 2016 and 2017. Thirty-six patients were included in the survey and randomly allocated into treatment (A) and control (B) groups. An oral syrup of safflower extract and nasal drop of safflower oil were additionally prescribed for group A. Group B only received a standard anti-ischemic regimen. The primary outcome measure was the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score (NIHSS) over 15 days. Safflower treatment led to a notably higher mean difference in the NIHSS score between the baseline score and 15-day post-treatment score in group A in comparison to group B (p < 0.001). However, adjustment for covariates (age, gender, and baseline measures) showed no significant reduction in neurological status between them (p = 0.340). There was a statistically significant difference in neurological symptom scores between the groups (p = 0.044). Based on this pilot study, adjuvant treatment with safflower in addition to the standard anti-ischemic regimen can be more effective than individual conventional drugs for treating ischemic CVA among adults.

In this study, we carried out a bioassay-guided fractionation of the most active extract Polygonatum orientale Desf. rhizome, in order to isolate and identify the fraction/s or compound/s responsible for wound healing activity. The wound healing process considered via scratch wound assay on NIH-3T3 fibroblasts. The results showed that the methanol extract and its fractions A5 and A6 showed excellent wound healing effect and were rich of bioactive glycoside compounds. Fraction A6 was selected for further fractionation and two sub-fractions B5 and B6 showed acceptable wound healing on fibroblasts. B5-P (sucrose) and B6-P were isolated as two active compounds from theses fractions that significantly reduced wound area, without any toxicity at very low concentrations (50-200 ng/mL). These results supported the traditional use of P. orientale rhizome for wounds treatment and showed that the accelerated wound healing activity of the rhizome is due to the presence of bioactive polar compounds.

Published: June 2022

According to Persian Medicine (PM), humors that can replace the consumed body compounds, while contributing to health maintenance, is called ‘fine humor’ (khelt-e saleh). However, a limited number of foods and beverages have been mentioned as the producers of fine humor. These substances are particularly important in maintaining health in vulnerable populations including pregnant women, lactating mothers, the elderly, infants and children. They also play an important role in certain treatment plans during illness and injury and after recovery. The present study was designed to investigate properties of fine-humor producing materia medica, as described by PM resources. Based on the search performed in PM textbooks, 63 substances were found to have this property. The most frequent Mizaj types were hot-wet (33.34%), hot-dry (19.05%), and cold-wet (17.47%). The highest organ tropism belonged to kidneys and bladder, brain, liver, sex organs, stomach and lungs respectively. Examining drug actions indicated obesogenous (53.97%), enhancing sperm production and sexual potency (42.86%), laxative (39.69%), and tonic (33.34%) actions to be the most prevalent effects of these substances in the body. By integrating these substances into diets, health promotion for children, the elderly, and mothers during nursing and pregnancy may be achieved. Additionally, patients can benefit from a fine-humor producing nutrition both for 1) prevention of chronic diseases and 2) during disease recovery, acute phases of illness, anemia, and metabolic illnesses. Further studies are recommended to analyze the components and nutritional value, and the use of PM capability in culinary medicine.

Pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches have been applied in managing insomnia. The risk of tolerance and dependence on conventional medications and their other side effects leads the surveys to complementary and alternative medicine. This overview aimed to compile the clinical trials on herbal remedies in managing insomnia for facilitating future studies on medicinal plant in this issue. The keywords “Medicinal plant”, “Herbal medicine” in combination with “Hypnotic and sedative”, “Insomnia” or “Sleep” were searched through PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scopus electronic databases from 1st January 2000 to 31st August 2020. Then, all clinical trials focusing on the efficacy of medicinal plants on insomnia were collected. Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 36 articles were selected, included 16 medicinal plants (23 studies) as a single herb and 13 polyherbal formulations. The most prevalent route of administration among these trials was oral. Matricaria chamomilla L., Valeriana officinalis L., Viola odorata L., and Passiflora incarnata L. were among the most prevalent effective herbal medicines on insomnia. Also, the modulation of the GABAergic system was the most common target of these medicinal plants. Herbal remedies can be introduced as safe and effective alternatives for conventional medications in managing insomnia. The popular herbal medicines, such as M. chamomilla, V. officinalis, V. odorata, are suitable for further therapeutic development. Other cited medicinal plants in this review can be more investigated in improvement of sleep.

Si bien la imposición de requisitos de salud (RS) no es un elemento nuevo en el control de las migraciones contemporáneas y no contemporáneas. Si es un dispositivo biotecnopolítico recurrente en diferentes países para gestionar la gobernanza de la migración y la salud al operar como un filtro que privilegia ciertos cuerpos migrantes sobre otros. En Australia, desde hace décadas existe una extensa infraestructura de vigilancia que relaciona migración, salud, discapacidad y raza, que reproduce, por un lado, una geopolítica del riesgo que sitúa al sur global en desventaja. Y, por otro lado, articula un complejo sistema de seguimiento a nivel global a través de dispositivos de vigilancia informática que operan en complicidad con otros estados receptores de migraciones como Canadá, Estados Unidos, Nueva Zelanda y el Reino Unido. El objetivo de este estudio es utilizar el caso australiano como referencia para analizar las posibles consecuencias de imponer un «pasaporte de vacunación» como requisito sanitario global bajo el régimen de COVID-19.

Authors: Estrada Villaseñor Cecilia , Rodríguez Calles Luis
Published: June 2022

El artículo presenta un análisis sobre el acceso a la vivienda de los inmigrantes en España desde una perspectiva de los derechos humanos. Este colectivo que reside en barrios y municipios españoles tiende a concentrarse en determinadas zonas de viviendas baratas y degradadas y que, consecuentemente, terminan siendo estigmatizadas por la población nativa. No en vano, los inmigrantes encuentran especiales dificultades para acceder a una vivienda digna por una serie de cuestiones, pero, fundamentalmente por una situación económica precaria derivada, en algunos casos, de la ausencia de políticas públicas eficaces y de las actitudes excluyentes por parte de los propietarios y arrendatarios de vivienda. Sobre este último punto, se propone un análisis a tres niveles para el estudio de la exclusión social: el Estado, el mercado y la sociedad civil, (macro, meso y micro) para observar así la influencia de estos agentes en el grado de cumplimiento del derecho humano a la vivienda que experimenta el colectivo inmigrante en España.

Authors: Genç Koray , Türkay Oğuz , Ulema Şevki
Published: June 2022

Con la continuación del impulso de crecimiento de la movilidad turística internacional, y los efectos negativos del turismo en destinos importantes, los gobiernos locales, las organizaciones internacionales de turismo y la comunidad académica centraron su atención en lo que se debería hacer para eliminar estos efectos negativos. Otro tema importante por considerar es la gentrificación del turismo. Esta situación indica que la dinámica básica de los asentamientos y la población local se ha visto sacudida. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo evaluar las razones y los efectos de la gentrificación turística en Barcelona y Venecia, que atraen una demanda turística excesiva y con frecuencia llegan a la agenda con movimientos urbanos o sociales contra el turismo. Se han utilizado fuentes de datos secundarias para este propósito. En última instancia, se subrayó que la gentrificación del turismo debe ser considerada por los tomadores de decisiones como un proceso que desencadena muchos efectos negativos, ejerce presión de desplazamiento sobre la población local y provoca cambios sociales radicales.
La gestión sostenible aplicada al sector hotelero en Galápagos
Authors: Torres Molina Samanta Victoria , Muñoz Barriga Andrea
Published: June 2022

La presente investigación analiza la situación actual de la planta hotelera en Puerto Ayora, Galápagos, desde una perspectiva de sostenibilidad de los establecimientos hoteleros. Para el análisis se consideraron los instrumentos voluntarios de gestión sostenible en favor de la conservación que aplican los establecimientos hoteleros. Se determinaron las medidas adoptadas por las mismas entidades para ser consideradas sostenibles o si únicamente manejan un marketing greenwashing para mostrarse como tales. Es difícil calificar a Galápagos como un destino completamente sostenible, sobre todo en la modalidad de turismo con base local, a pesar de que cada vez se han dirigido más esfuerzos hacia este objetivo. Por ello es necesario que la gestión y el desarrollo del turismo se planifiquen con base en los tres pilares de la sostenibilidad y no únicamente en la búsqueda de incrementar el número de turistas para conseguir un beneficio económico.

Poučevanje težavnih študentov: 10. učna delavnica za mentorje družinske medicine: zbornik predavanj
Authors: Zelko Erika , Virtič Tina
Published: June 2022

Steinert je kot 'težavne' študente opredelil tiste, ki jim ne uspe izpolniti pričakovanj izobraževalnega programa. Običajno taki študentje zahtevajo več nadzora, več časa, kar pomeni manj časa za bolnike. Mentorji in učitelji pa v tem primeru potrebujejo dodatna znanja in pedagoške veščine. Veliko je napisanega o težavnih bolnikih, nekoliko manj zapisov pa najdemo o težavnih študentih, še posebej, če iščemo definicije med medicinskimi članki. Ena od definicij navaja: »Težavni študentje so vztrajno moteči, radi kljubujejo navodilom, zahtevajo pozornost ali so popolnoma nemotivirani za delo. So študentje, ki ignorirajo avtoriteto in povzročajo učiteljem stres, frustracije in jezo.« Poučevanje težavnih študentov je tako izziv za učitelje kot za študente. V pričujočem zborniku smo opisali nekaj orodij, ki nam pri tem lahko pomagajo. Svoje izkušnje s poučevanjem na področju Družinske medicine in izobraževanjem, so z nami delili tako študentje kot bodoči zdravniki družinske medicine in mentorji.

Prosopis cineraria is a large perennial, therapeutic and multi-use tree of the family Fabaceae. Locally, it is known as ‘khejri or Kandi.’ Kandi is also called “desert’s king” with homeopathic worth. The plant is rich in bioactive compounds such as heneicosanoic acid, methyl heptacosanoate, 4-hydroxy benzoic acid and methyl 2-methoxy-5-hydroxycinnamate, methyl 4-hydroxycinnamate and O-Coumaroylglycrol which are accountable for many pharmacological actions. The literature was taken from peer-reviewed scientific publications from the database i.e., google scholar using keywords Kandi, Phyto-chemistry, Prosopis cineraria, etc. This review aims at relating the description, taxonomical organization and phytochemical outlines of Prosopis cineraria. It is concluded that the Thar desert is suitable for several tropical and sub-tropical drought-tolerant plants with numerous health benefits and other uses. It is therefore suggested that proper care and utilization of such drought-prone plants should be focused to combat emerging diseases. It was detected from the research studies that khejri has huge aids due to pharmaceutical and remedial value. It is used to cure many chronic diseases without showing side effects. Different pests attack can damage the tree of which approx. 153 species are examined universally. The pests grow extreme during winter while low in summer.

Background: Vitamin D and protein deficiencies are amongst the most prevalent malnutrition problems of India and several other developing nations. In the present study an attempt has been made to develop a Vitamin D and protein rich energy bar utilizing mushroom powder. Among the vegetarian foods, mushroom is a very good source of Vitamin D and also rich in good quality protein. Methods: Twelve formulations of energy bar prepared with varying proportions of mushroom powder (0-30%), sweeteners (40-50%) and cereals (20- 45%) were analyzed for nutritional, anti-oxidative, sensory, color and textural properties. Result: A significant improvement in vitamin D, protein, crude fiber, ash and antioxidant activity contents of energy bars with increasing proportions of mushroom powder was observed. Energy bar prepared with 20% mushroom powder, 40% sweetener, 25% cereals, 10% peanuts and a 5% dry fruits showed good sensory acceptability along with a good amount of vitamin D (423.99 IU/100 g), protein (15.18 g/100 g), antioxidant activity (78.52% scavenging of DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) crude fiber (4.76 g/100 g) and ash content (2.60 g/100 g). Single bar (50 g) of this snack can provide 53% of recommended dietary allowance (RDA) of Vitamin D and 12.7% of RDA of protein for an adult.

Background: Aeromonas hydrophila is considered a major bacterial pathogen in Indian aquaculture. The various experimental trials are being conducted as a control measure against A. hydrophila infection in fish. The study evaluated the effect of dietary inclusion of crude dried leaf powder of Eupatorium odoratum at 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5% to study the immune response and disease resistance in fingerlings of Cyprinus carpio experimentally infected with A. hydrophila. Methods: The fingerlings of C. carpio were orally administered crude dried leaf powder of E. odoratum at 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 % through feed for 55 days followed by challenge with A. hydrophila. The biochemical, haematological and immunological parameters of the fish samples analyzed on 55th and 62nd day of the feeding trial to evaluate the immune response and disease resistance. Result: The comparative analysis of biochemicals, haematological and immunological parameters confirmed that the fingerlings fed with dry crude leaf powder of E. odoratum at 0.5-1.0% showed enhanced leucocytes count, hemoglobin, lysozyme activity, superoxide anion production, bactericidal activity, the total protein and albumin content in pre and post-infected experimental groups. The highest relative survival percentage of fingerlings was recorded in groups fed with 1.0% dietary inclusion of dried crude leaf powder of E. odoratum. Thus, the study concludes that dietary inclusion of crude dried leaf powder of E. odoratum at 1.0% level imparts improved immune response and resistance against A. hydrophila infection.
