Authors: Ancupova Lina , Morozov Artem , Askerov Elshad , Sergeev Alexey , Belyak Maria , Pototskaya Lydia
Published: April 2022

Relevance: Neoplasms of the large bowel are one of the most common diseases among all malignant neoplasms of the gastrointestinal tract. The predominant localization is the rectosigmoid junction. The rarest disease is a neoplasm of the appendix. Purpose: Diagnosis of the neoplasm of the appendix with extension into cecum cupula and into the anterior abdominal wall and description of the results on the example of a clinical case. Materials: We present a case of patient I., male, 34 years old. He is a hypersthenic overweight person, essential hypertension stage I, rate III, risk 3. Results: Patient I. was first admitted in a private clinic (Tver, Russia) in September 2020 after the 1 day of onset. A clinical presentation complies with appendicitis. He was sent to the emergency surgery department after the examination by the surgeon. There he underwent a diagnostic laparoscopy, conversion, laparotomy with preservation of the appendix, and draining of the abdominal cavity. The second visit to a private clinic was in May 2021. The CT scan of the abdominal organs was performed and an infiltrate was detected in the cecum cupula with a small area of suppurative complication. Then the patient was hospitalized in the surgery department, where he was prescribed antibiotic therapy for periappendiceal mass and recommended a planned appendectomy. In September 2021, the patient turned to the surgery department at the place of residence due to the deterioration. He underwent a laparotomy in the right iliac region, viscerolysis, median laparotomy, rightsided hemicolectomy for adenocarcinoma of the appendix, ileotransverse anastomosis by the side-to-side method, drainage of the abdominal cavity. Conclusion: Acute appendicitis remains a challenge for practicing surgeons despite being common and well-studied. Acute appendicitis is characterized by pronounced clinical symptoms. But it also has many hidden forms that mimicked other diseases. That’s why the establishment of this diagnosis is difficult even for experienced clinicians. This clinical case demonstrates certain difficulties in the timely diagnosis of the appendix neoplasm. This is because the development of most appendix tumors is asymptomatic or resembles the clinic of acute appendicitis. The tumors are detected by chance, or during visualization, or during appendectomy. Only early diagnosis of the disease, knowledge of the treatment strategy and timely initiation of appropriate therapy can improve the prognosis of patients, reduce the risk of disability and death. It is undoubtedly important in clinical practice.

Dental implantation, viewed as an independent research-based method used to treat patients with partial and complete adentia, has a special place among the major dental specialties. There are surgical algorithms and established methods for using dental implants available. The classical two-stage implantation protocol with delayed loading is considered the most reliable and predictable, featuring the lowest complication rate. The increased interest in direct dental implantation with immediate loading can be accounted for by psycho-emotional factors, accelerated implant osseointegration, better functional and aesthetic results, prevention of alveolar process bone atrophy, as well as reduced volume of surgical and orthopedic interventions. The stability of dental implants after direct implantation and immediate loading has been found to match the stability of implants after employing a two-stage technique. The primary stability of dental implants installed directly into the hole of the removed tooth on the anterior mandible is due to a small volume of spongy substance at a significantly thick cortical layer, possible installation of an implant with a length exceeding the length of the tooth root, the availability of a proper keratinized gum zone, as well as the removal from occlusion temporary structures on implants.

Published: April 2022

The etching solution is used to remove the inert surface layer of the hard tissues of the tooth, change the wetting parameters and create conditions for micromechanical adhesion. The most commonly used gel is 37% orthophosphoric acid. However, silicic acid as a thickener in the composition of etching gels, when interacting with hydroxyapatite of the tooth, gives a precipitate in the form of silicon oxide — silica. Scanning electron microscopy makes it possible to see the accumulation of round silica nanoparticles, approximately 20–40 nm in diameter. According to studies, the formation of silica particles does not affect the quality of restoration, so there is no need to remove them from the surface of demineralized dentin. The purpose of this review article is to study scientific data on the formation of an insoluble precipitate after the interaction of inorganic acid in the form of a gel with components of the inorganic enamel matrix (hydroxyapatite), and its effect on the adhesion quality of the filling material. Materials and methods: Electronic search of articles was carried out using search engines and databases Google Scholar, Pub Med. The articles are included, the content of which concerns the topic of determining the sediment formed when etching the tooth surface with orthophosphoric gel. The publication date criterion has been selected since 2011. Results: 69 articles were reviewed during the review process. After analyzing the literature according to the inclusion criteria, the total number was 20 publications. Conclusion: When etching dentin with a solution of orthophosphoric acid in the form of a gel, a precipitate of silicon oxide is formed. This is due to the presence of a thickener in the gel in the form of silicic acid. Silicic acid, or silica gel, reacts chemically with hydroxyapatite of the tooth. As a result, silica is formed, which remains on the surface of demineralized dentin in the form of round nanoparticles with a size of 20–40 nm. According to studies, the formation of silica particles does not affect the quality of restoration, so there is no need to remove them from the surface of demineralized dentin.
VARIANT ANATOMY OF TRANSITIONAL OCCLUSION DENTAL ARCH AT OPTIMAL OCCLUSAL RELATIONSHIPS
Authors: Kochkonyan Taisiya , Domenyuk Dmitry , Shkarin Vladimir , Dmitrienko Sergei , Domenyuk Stanislav
Published: April 2022

Through the transitional bite period, the variability of the dental arch shape and size is due to the replacement of milk teeth with permanent ones, which feature different odontometric values. The aim of this study was to identify the main linear and angular parameters of dental arches, in view of the trusive position of the incisors with optimal functional occlusion. A stratified study was involved 76 children ages 8–12 years old, who were divided into three groups (protrusive, retrusive and mesotrusive dental arches). An analysis of cone-beam computed tomograms and plaster models of jaws was carried out, which was preceded by obtaining informed consents according to the Ethics Committee requirements. The study revealed certain features of the variant anatomy of transitional occlusion dental arch. The calculated factors allowed identifying the proportionality of the dental arch parameters to odontometric indicators. During that, the dental-diagonal factor (the ratio of the dental arch length to the incisor-molar diagonals) for the upper jaw was 1.06±0.01, for the lower arch being equal to 1.09±0.01, in all types of dental arches, which is a fact to be used in clinical orthography to predict the location of the dental arch incisor (central) point in case of shape anomalies, specifically in the anterior part. The angular parameters of the diagnostic dental pentagon will allow simulating the geometric and graphical construction of arches through the transitional occlusion period.
Recrear al sujeto en el poema Los salmos fosforitos, de Berta García Faet
Authors: Benot Juan Gallego
Published: April 2022

Este artículo propone un acercamiento a Los salmos fosforitos, de Berta García Faet, a partir de teorías de la crítica feminista contemporánea sobre la subjetividad. Tras una introducción sobre los aspectos fundamentales de la construcción del sujeto, se presenta una lectura que comprenda esta creación poética como un plagio de Trilce, de César Vallejo, no con el fin de recrear un genio a la manera tradicional, sino de transgredir las fronteras discursivas eliminando el componente estructurador de la subjetividad en el arte, la originalidad. Así, se argumenta que Los salmos fosforitos presenta una forma de atender a las complejidades del lenguaje poético desde un punto de vista desubjetivado.
Feminismo y cover girls: una traducción intersemiótica en revistas femeninas contemporáneas
Authors: León Paola V. Monter
Published: April 2022

Este artículo problematiza la construcción de nuevas narrativas visuales en torno al ser mujer en destacadas portadas de revistas femeninas mexicanas, publicaciones que se han apropiado de los principales rasgos distintivos del movimiento feminista actual, para generar nuevas significaciones a través de un mismo punto de anclaje y soporte: el cuerpo. Estas construcciones, que surgen con el neologismo femvertising, tendencia publicitaria que busca “empoderar a las mujeres y niñas” mediante mensajes profemeninos, pueden estudiarse como resultado de una traducción intersemiótica que apuesta por un cambio generacional en la representación de la feminidad.
La discursividad feminista como pulso de vida, desde las lenguas del sur global contemporáneo
Authors: Enrico Juliana
Published: April 2022

En un mundo que deviene sur, pleno de violencias y depredaciones humanas y de género hacia la propia humanidad y hacia la naturaleza, indagaremos las resonancias de las feministas tercermundistas negras en los feminismos del sur y cuir, interrogando los efectos críticos de la traducción cultural transfronteriza. Presentaremos una reflexión sobre los aportes de la discursividad feminista del tercer mundo (en el tránsito de fronteras queer / cuir), a la teoría política contemporánea y a los discursos sociales antagonistas, en el marco de las problemáticas del sur global. La idea es pensar las relaciones históricas y sociales entre lenguaje, poder e identidad a través de la voz de la tradición del silencio, estallada sin vuelta atrás en los nuevos imaginarios del presente.

Proposal of leaf chlorophyll content and its a/b ratio measurement method using a filter-free multiple wavelength sensor
Authors: Choi Yong-Joon , Watanabe Nobuhiro , Takahashi Kazuhiro , Toda Seitaro , Takayama Kotaro , Noda Toshihiko , Sawada Kazuaki
Published: April 2022

In this study, we proposed a miniaturized system that can detect chlorophyll content and its a/b ratio simultaneously to measure the health condition of plants. In order to solve the problems of general measurement systems such as large-scale equipment and fracture measurement, a filter-free multiple wavelength sensor was used to evaluate the current ratio due to wavelength changes. Current characteristics demonstrated that the sensor due to the chlorophyll a/b ratio and changes in their concentrations are proportional to the spectral characteristics. As a result of measuring the extracted chlorophyll of plants and leaves, the centroid wavelength value of the transmission spectrum showed linear data from the current ratio of the sensor. The proposed method enabled simultaneous measurement of the chlorophyll content and its a/b ratio of plants with a non-destructive and compact device and is expected to be applied to the agricultural field.
Used activated carbon – what to do about it?
Authors: Ciahotný Karel
Published: April 2022

The use of activated carbon in environmental protection and other separation processes has expanded considerably in recent years in the technologically advanced countries of the world. World production of this interesting adsorbent material is currently approaching 1 million tons per year and is growing constantly. The largest use of activated carbon is in the field of drinking and wastewater treatment, waste gas treatment, chemical methods of gold mining and refining processes in industrial, pharmaceutical and food processing. The sorbent used needs to be regenerated in order to be able to continue to serve or to dispose of it ecologically if its regeneration or reactivation is not possible. The article deals with the possibilities of the restoration of sorption properties of used by regeneration and reactivation procedures, describes the differences between these processes, and also deals with evaluation of the sorption capacities of carbonaceous sorbents with restored sorption capacity.
The technologies that use integrated regeneration of the saturated adsorbent directly in the adsorption plant and technologies that replace the saturated adsorbent with new ones, which show more favorable investment costs, are currently used in the operational practice. The saturated adsorbent used with organic substances is usually not disposed of, but regenerated or reactivated in the regeneration / reactivation plant. Both of these technologies have also been introduced and operated in the Czech Republic in the past.
In the Czech Republic, there are currently two industrial facilities in operation designed to regenerate activated carbon saturated with organic substances.
In the case of regenerated / reactivated sorbents, it is important to have a suitable sorbent certificate with a restored structure, which determines the degree of restoration of the porous structure of the sorbent. Because of this, it is necessary to adjust the expected adsorption capacity of the sorbent with a restored porous structure for the captured substances, and subsequently also the sorbent exchange interval. Only in this way will the adsorption equipment meet the emission limits determined throughout the operation.
Fire risk problem of aluminum foundry
Authors: Skácel František , Tekáč Viktor
Published: April 2022

During various modes of operation of the melting furnace, a large amount of aerosol particles consisting mainly of amorphous carbon is generated irregularly depending on the current state (especially during the loading of the return material), accompanied by the development of significant amounts of volatile organic compounds and methane. The resulting mixture of organic substances is not quantitatively eliminated in the afterburner chamber of the melting furnace. The VOC mass flow remains almost unchanged and only the methane mass flow decreases. The mass flux of aerosol particles, on the other hand, increases after passing through the afterburner chamber, with particles of aluminium metal contributing significantly to this increase. The aerosol particles trapped on the textile filter of the melting furnace are thus composed of particles of amorphous carbon and particles of inorganic origin (metallic aluminium and limestone). The structure and surface properties of the carbon particles pose a significant risk of textile filter ignition.
From the measurement results obtained, the following solution to the hazardous condition of the plant can be found:
(a) a change in the existing technology, for example: changing the design of the part of the melting furnace into which the return material is fed; changing the heat input and the mode of the gas burner and fan in this part of the furnace; a significant reduction of the flue gas flow in the A-gauge and afterburner chamber or change of machining emulsion;
(b) the installation of an additional gas burner in the newly installed afterburner chamber, to which the flue gases from the part of the melting furnace into which the return material is fed would be discharged in the existing return material inlet mode.

Published: April 2022

There exists lack of readiness and challenges for the medical faculty to teach online. During COVID-19 pandemic, the need for constant support and training the faculty at different levels for the online teaching platform has been unanimously felt. Thus, identifying challenges of faculty and their needs is useful to achieve positive learning outcomes of online teaching. A cross-sectional online survey was conducted. The questionnaire was sent via E-mail or What’s app to the faculty who were involved in online teaching at our institute as well as other different medical institutions during the COVID-19 pandemic. Majority agreed that they have adequate knowledge and skills regarding online preparation and delivery of the classes. However, over ninety percent also felt the need to have more creative resources for online classes. More than half did not feel confident to handle technical issues. Student engagement factors were the common hurdles in online teaching and majority felt lack of connectedness with the students during online teaching. The need for further training for online teaching platform was uniformly expressed. Online teaching platforms have been considered useful for learning and it was suggested that online teaching should be continued as adjunct to online teaching in medical education post pandemic. It can be concluded that the medical faculty needs further training to be competent in their role to ensure the online learning environment. Online teaching methods can be incorporated in the medical curriculum to effectively facilitate learning of the students.
Total Hip Arthroplasty with Sub-Trochanteric Femoral Shortening Osteotomy for Post-Infective Hip Dysplasia-A Case Report
Authors: Sarkar Aruddha , Sen Biswarup
Published: April 2022

Total hip arthroplasty is a surgical option for patients with symptomatic arthritis secondary to severe hip dysplasia. These cases are associated with difficulty in identifying the true acetabulum and achieving stable fixation of the acetabular component is challenging. On the femoral side, femurs in dysplastic hip have increased anteversion, shorter femoral necks and reduced intramedullary canal size. The outcome of total hip arthroplasty in these patients improves with restoration of the anatomical centre of the hip. But restoration of the hip centre in a dysplastic hip can lead to excessive limb lengthening and traction nerve injury. So, additional femoral shortening is necessary to allow hip reduction and to avoid excessive limb lengthening. Sub-trochanteric femoral shortening osteotomy is therefore a viable option and can be extremely useful in addressing the limb length discrepancy, facilitate reduction, equalize limb lengths, and protect the sciatic nerve. We report a case of post-infective dysplasia of hip where sub-trochanteric femoral shortening osteotomy was done along with total hip arthroplasty.

COVID 19 pandemic is sweeping across the globe, causing adverse societal and economic consequences affecting mental health. Studies have documented increased prevalence of mental disorders including anxiety. Because of paucity of studies accessing mental disorders, we conducted a comparative study analyzing prevalence of anxiety among different professions using GAD-7 scale during COVID-19 pandemic in India. We conducted this study using completely voluntary anonymous GAD-7 Questionnaire by distributing hard copies and e-copies among > 20 years of age Indians, understanding English and willingness to participate after taking informed consent and ethical committee approval. Prevalence of anxiety among total study population of 4333 was 80.5% including 79.3% medical profession group, 85.1% business group, 79.8% teachers, 78.8% students and 82.4% non-medical profession group. Higher overall prevalence of mild anxiety was observed among all profession groups. Prevalence of mild anxiety was higher in male group and moderate anxiety in females and the difference was statistically highly significant. Results show significantly high prevalence of anxiety among all professions, gender and age groups in Indian population. Globally, COVID-19 pandemic has catastrophic effect on psychosocial and mental health. Our study analyzing prevalence of anxiety among different professions during COVID-19 pandemic in India found significantly high prevalence of anxiety among all professions, gender and age groups, necessitating increased focus on multilevel India specific mental health interventions and strategies for curbing and preventing mental health problems and need for further research.

Published: April 2022

Background: The analysis of lymph node enlargement in the neck is not an easy task. It is a challenge for surgeon to assess its clinical behaviour and come to a final diagnosis. Those diseases which can be neoplastic also demands correct diagnosis for further management. The study intends to find out systematically the various pathological conditions presenting with enlarged lymph nodes in the neck, also the various modes of clinical presentation and behaviour of these conditions. Relevant investigations have also been studied. Methods: The study population consisted of patients above 12 years presenting with cervical lymph node enlargement. The proforma which was drafted is used. Patient was examined systematically giving utmost importance to local examination. After making a clinical diagnosis, further relevant investigations were done to confirm the diagnosis. Treatment was instituted appropriately and patients were followed up. Results: Majority of the cases in this study had non-neoplastic causes for cervical lymphadenopathy in which tuberculosis is most common. Male to female ratio of 1.38:1 is noted with most cases between 20 and 40 years. Posterior triangle group of lymph nodes was most commonly affected in tuberculosis. In lymphomas level 2 group of lymph nodes is most commonly involved. Variable results were noted among the groups of lesions, with regard to local characteristics like number, laterality, mobility and involvement of other group of lymph nodes, etc. FNAC by virtue of it being inexpensive, quick in getting the results and easy to perform, is one of the important and essential diagnostic procedures. Conclusion: Clinical symptoms in cervical lymphadenopathy is of limited significance because clinical behaviour can be highly variable and mostly non-specific. As cervical lymphadenopathy is an important condition, which always calls for meticulous attention, analysis and treatment. FNAC is found to be a frontline investigation of choice with ......

Diaphragmatic ruptures represent a rare clinical entity, but potentially serious and often integrated into multiple traumas. Our study was about 17 cases collected in the visceral surgery department of CHU Hassan II in Fez, over a period of 8 years from January 2012 to December 2020. We reviewed the literature, in order to highlight the main characteristics of these lesions. In our series, the mean age of our patients was 46 years, with a predominance of men and a sex ratio of 3,2. Left RTDs are more common, but the incidence of right RTDs is increasing. Clinically, dyspnea and abdominal pain are the main functional signs, each presenting 58.82% of all symptoms. Radiologically, abdominal CT is performed in all patients and confirmed the diagnosis. The treatment was surgical in all patients: a midline laparotomy was performed in 14 patients (82%), on the other hand laparoscopy was performed in 3 patients (18%). The stomach and colon are the most herniated organs. The modalities of repair of the diaphragmatic rupture were simple silk raffia in 88% of cases and prosthetic repair in 12% of cases. The mortality of trauma victims of a ruptured diaphragm is mainly due to associated injuries, especially severe head trauma. The morbidity is mainly pulmonary; it is represented by functional sequelae, which must be prevented by respiratory physiotherapy.

Introduction: the omphalocele is defined as a congenital malformation of the abdominal wall from the umbilical ring leading to non-integration of the viscera covered by an amniotic and avascular membrane. The cord still fits over the membrane. There are sometimes cavities between the viscera and the membrane that contain wharton jelly. The frequency is 1 case in 6000 births in France and 1 case in 5000 in Germany. We conducted this study in order to describe the epidemiological aspects and to evaluate the therapeutic results of omphaloceles in the regional hospital of Kayes.

Foreign body granulomatosis has many etiologies, including the injection of oral medications intravenously. The insoluble filler materials that are used in the medications can lodge in pulmonary arterioles and capillaries, which can trigger foreign body giant cell reaction, chronic inflammation, thrombosis, and fibrosis,. On imaging, this may present with multiples micronodules. Here, we present a case of 65 years old patient, with history of heavy smoking, intravenous drug abuse and intravascular talcosis diagnosed by biopsy; presented to the emergency room for respiratory distress with fever and productive cough, A thoracic CT was requested, it showed an alveolar consolidation of left lower lobar with centrilobular periarteriolar micronodules. The majority of the nodules was calcified, related to her disease (talcosis IV).

A 30-year-old man presented to the ophthalmologic clinic with sudden onset of vertical and torsional diplopia. Concomitant skew deviation with right hypertropia was observed. Funduscopy revealed that the fovea was located above the lower edge of the optic disc in the right eye; incyclotorsion was present. Conversely, the fovea was located below the lower edge of the optic disc in the left eye; excyclotorsion was present. He was diagnosed to have ocular tilt reaction (OTR). Neurological examination was unremarkable. Cranial magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated no abnormalities and no evidence of acute ischemia, demyelination, or vestibular nerve abnormality. The patient was followed without any treatment. One month later, his diplopia had disappeared. Incyclotorsion in the right eye and excyclotorsion in the left eye were also improved. Torsional deviation is difficult to detect with a standard eye exam. A fundus photograph is useful for diagnosis in such cases if it can be obtained.

Emphysematous pyelonephritis is a diagnostic and therapeutic emergency, the management depends on the radiological classification of Hyaung and Tseng, the patient's condition and the presence of risk factors namely: thrombocytopenia, acute renal failure, shock and disturbances of consciousness.Conservative treatment based on antibiotic therapy, percutane drainage is most often indicated, and nephrectomy is reserved for severe forms. We report a case of rare emphysematous pyelonephritis complicated by a large retroperitoneal collection. The treatment was an antibiotherapy associated with percutaneous drainage and the evolution was favorable.

Hydatid cyst of the parotid gland remains an exceptional condition and an unusual location for hydatid cyst, even in countries where hydatidosis is endemic. We report a case of parotid hydatid cyst revealed by the appearance of left parotid swelling. The diagnosis was evoked preoperatively on the data of the parotid tomodensitometry which had objectified an encapsulated cystic mass and seat of calcifications. Surgical treatment consisted of exofacial parotidectomy. The cyst contained a whitish gelatinous substance with a thick fibro-inflammatory wall. The cystic contents consisted of proligerous membranes with scolices. The post-operative consequences were simple. Remote monitoring, clinical and tomodensitometric, had not detected recurrence with a follow-up of eighteen months.

Annular pancreas is a rare developmental anomaly. Partial annular pancreas is less known and is very rare. A band of pancreatic tissue continues from the pancreatic head and incompletely encircles the pancreas. This typically gives a “crocodile jaw” configuration. In symptomatic cases patients present mostly in 3rd to 6th decade of their life, with abdominal pain, postprandial fullness, vomiting, upper gastrointestinal bleeding, acute or chronic pancreatitis, and in rare instances, biliary obstruction. The person can also be asymptomatic; in that case it will be an incidental finding. We are presenting a case of partial annular pancreas causing nonspecific symptoms. This was an incidental finding, studied and managed in a tertiary care centre.

Teratoma is germ cell tumor which contains tissue elements of all three germ cell layers. Testicular teratoma is subtype of non-seminomatous germ cell tumors. It is divided into two types according to age – Prepubertal and Postpubertal teratoma. Histologically it is divided into mature and immature teratoma. Intratubular germ cell neoplasia in situ (ITGCN) is common feature associated with teratoma. We are presenting case report of 40 yrs old male presenting with painless scrotal mass. On examination left testis was enlarged with firm to hard scrotal mass. Right testis was normal. Patient underwent orchiedectomy and biopsy taken which diagnosed as postpubertal immature teratoma with ITGCN on histology.
Synergistic Effects of Phytogenic Compounds on Early Growth Parameters of Native Chickens

Published: April 2022

The survival of native chickens during the first 6 weeks of growth is less than 50%. Hence, this study proposes the introduction of prophylactic antibiotics for poultry diseases prevention and treatment. However, the ban on antibiotics has prompted the search for plant-based biomedicines. Therefore, this trial aimed to determine the effect of phytogenic compounds (PC) of five herbs as water additives on the survival and growth responses of native chickens. A total of 204 Bisaya chickens (unsexed) were randomly assigned to 4 treatments replicated three times with 17 chickens in each replicate. Chickens were fed ad libitum and received water with 1.5 g antibiotics/1000ml water (control), 20 ml PC/1000ml water (T2), 40 ml PC/1000ml water (T3), and 60 ml PC/1000ml water (T4) for 35 days. No significant differences were observed on feed intake for chickens in antibiotics and PC treatments, however, the 60-PC group consumed slightly higher feed intake, compared to chickens under antibiotics and the other level of PC supplementation. Chickens in 60-PC ate 4-12% more feed than the others at the end of the trial period. Cumulative water used per kg feed did not differ among the experimental groups. The control and the PC supplemented chickens shared homogenous body weight and weight gains patterns, averaging 403.79 to 415.20g and 85.49 to 86.85g, respectively. Supplementation of 40-PC and 60-PC in drinking water for native chickens reduced the mortality rate and comparable feed conversion ratio with antibiotics. The 60-PC as a phytogenic water additive could enhance the growth performance, increase the survival rate, reduce mortality, and improve feed conversion ratio correlative to antibiotics.
