Identification of Kudoa ⁠thyrsites in Atlantic mackerel (Scomber ⁠scombrus) displaying post-mortem myoliquefaction: a case study in Scotland
Authors: Soares S.M.C. , Black J. , Bradley D.C. , Fordyce M.J. , McIntosh R.E.
Published: July 2023

Atlantic mackerel (Scomber scombrus) is a very important and valuable pelagic fish in Scotland. This species is known to be one of the hosts for Kudoa thyrsites, the myxosporean agent of post-mortem myoliquefaction, known as ‘soft tissue’. To date, there have been no official reports of the parasite in Scottish waters, however, the soft tissue condition is known to be found in Scottish landed mackerel. Its impact on this fishery is therefore unknown. The present study aims to report the presence of K. thyrsites-induced post-mortem myoliquefaction in mackerel caught from Scottish waters. Four commercial-sized mackerel displaying features of soft tissue were sampled. The histopathological examination revealed areas of muscular fibre necrosis and the presence of several multivalvulid myxospores in the interstitial space between the muscular fibres and among the liquefied necrotic areas. The presence of the K. thrysites was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in three of the four mackerel muscle tested and showed 100% identity with K. thyrsites isolate MH899081.1.

O Brasil está entre os países com maior volume de procedimentos estéticos realizados em todo o mundo. Entre os procedimentos existentes, está a realização de preenchimentos cutâneos para a melhora da aparência e redução de rugas e sulcos. O preenchimento é realizado, em geral, com bioestimuladores da produção de colágeno. O objetivo geral do presente artigo foi investigar a eficácia da hidroxiapatita de cálcio na produção de colágeno e melhora da aparência cutânea. Como metodologia, foi adotada a revisão integrativa de literatura, caracterizada pela busca por um número significativo de evidências científicas relacionadas a uma temática, de modo a orientar a prática clínica. Os resultados indicam que existem poucas pesquisas relacionadas à temática. Conclui-se que é necessária a produção de um número maior de estudos relacionado ao tema, os quais incluam amostras maiores, para que seja possível garantir a eficácia do tratamento em longo prazo ou mesmo uma eficácia mais significativa em comparação com outros tratamentos

COVID-19 vaccine: Psychological impact in a Portuguese sample
Authors: Batista Patrícia
Published: July 2023

In view of the current pandemic situation the world is experiencing, an increase in knowledge has become central in finding solutions to overcome this public health crisis. Due to the urgency of developing a vaccine to try to control the crisis, we intend to understand the Portuguese population’s perception about the levels of anxiety regarding the development, availability, and adhesion to COVID-19 vaccines. Thus, a cross-sectional questionnaire was carried out in Portugal from October to December 2020 on 921 respondents. Most of the participants reported mild to severe anxiety symptoms. The reported anxiety levels were similar in terms of both the general anxiety felt towards the disease and the anxiety associated with the availability and effectiveness of a vaccine. These results imply that official’s government should be informed regarding specific political strategies on this topic, the need for appropriate awareness campaigns, and the required action to increase health literacy.

Medical nutrition therapy for diabetes mellitus
Authors: Chon Suk
Published: July 2023

Background: Lifestyle modifications including medical nutrition, exercise, and behavioral psychological therapy play a pivotal role in the treatment of diabetes mellitus. In this study, we discuss the fundamental and essential aspects of medical nutrition therapy for treatment of diabetes mellitus based on the medical nutrition recommendations of the Korean Diabetes Association.Current Concepts: Patients with diabetes should receive education for individualized medical nutrition therapy from a qualified clinical dietitian. Overweight adults or those with obesity must lose at least 5% of their body weight. The percentages of carbohydrate, protein, and fat intake are individualized based on treatment goals and preferences. A Mediterranean, vegetarian, low-fat, low-carbohydrate, and Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension diet may be used based on individualized plans and priorities. Patients with diabetes are recommended to consume carbohydrates from fiber-rich whole grains, legumes, vegetables, raw fruits, and dairy products and to reduce intake of sweetened beverages. It is not necessary to limit protein intake. Patients with diabetes are recommended to replace foods high in saturated and trans fatty acids with foods rich in unsaturated fatty acids. Routine administration of unsaturated fatty acid supplements is not recommended. Sodium intake should not exceed 2,300 mg/day. Routine use of micronutrient supplements such as vitamins and minerals to improve blood glucose levels is not recommended. Patients using insulin or insulin secretagogues should be counseled to avoid hypoglycemia if they consume alcohol.Discussion and Conclusion: Medical nutrition therapy, which has been shown to treat diabetes and prevent a variety of cardiovascular risk factors and complications, should be utilized aggressively by all healthcare providers who treat patients with diabetes.

Determining the effective immunizing dose of a vaccine is one of the important pillars of a vaccination strategy. In this regard, this article presents the results of studies to determine the effective immunizing dose of a candidate cowpox vaccine prepared from the BIEMG-51 strain of the vaccinia virus. At determining a immunizing dose of the vaccine, it was found that in all animals vaccinated at doses of 103 TCID50, 104 TCID50, 105 TCID50, antibodies were not detected in the serum neutralization test (SNT). However, these vaccinated calves at the indicated doses were resistant to the challenge, while the unvaccinated group responded to the challenge and fell ill with the characteristic clinical signs of cowpox. The obtained primary results give grounds for improving the technology of vaccine preparation and in-depth study of the factors of cellular immunity of vaccinated animals in case of poxvirus infections.

It is investigated antioxidative activity of bile at various categories of patients with acute cholangiogenic an infection. The used technique for the first time is offered for research of bile. It is revealed, that in norm bile possesses antioxidative activity. At obstruc bilious channels and development of their inflammation there is an exhaustion antioxidative properties of bile and substantial growth in it of quantity of the substances possessing prooxidative activity. Originally, the increase prooxidative activity of bile is caused by a bilious hypertensia and a mechanical jaundice. In process of progressing destructive processes in bilious ways prooxidative activity of bile accrues and is accompanied by the expressed insufficiency antioxidative protection. Dynamics peroxidative the processes registered in bile, reflects not only presence of pathological process, but also weight, and depth of defeat.

To estimate the peculiarities of ghrelin basal secretion there were examined patients aged 35-55 with metabolic syndrome manifestations (n = 96) and practically healthy (n = 26). There was established that ghrelin levels in the main group were authentically lower than in the control one and were reducing as there was the increase of manifestation degree of carbohydrate metabolism disorder. At correlation analysis with the main MS components there was revealed the negative connection with anthropometric parameters - Body Weight Index , Waist Circumference, Waist Circumference / Hips Circumference, systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure and indexes IR - HOMA-IR and positive with Reciprocal of НОМА-R.
