Cluster analysis of internal migration processes between federal districts of the Russian Federation
Authors:   Perm State University, Immis Maksim
Published: February 2024

In this article, the author investigated migration processes between the federal districts of the Russian Federation for the period from 2012 to 2016 using the method of cluster analysis and presented the result of the analysis. An open data source was used for the study - the website of the Federal State Statistics Service. Socio-economic indicators of the federal districts of the Russian Federation were selected. A set of selected factors was investigated using correlation analysis to remove multicolliner factors. The processed set was then used for cluster analysis. The class analysis was carried out using machine learning methods using the Python programming language in the Jupyter Notebook development environment. The KMeans algorithm (k-means method) was used for the analysis. To understand how many clusters should be indicated, hierarchical clustering was carried out using the Ward method, in which the distances between clusters are an increase in the sum of the squares of the distances of objects to the cluster centers obtained as a result of their union.It was found that the original set is divided into three clusters. These results were used in the work of the KMeans algorithm, which divided the entire data set into three clusters and assigned a label to each row of data. Next, the average value of each socio-economic indicator in each cluster was calculated. Then, using the RandomForestClassifier classification algorithm, the significance of each factor was evaluated. As a result of cluster analysis, a set of features was obtained - socio-economic indicators of the region that affect the inclusion of the district in one or another migration class. Thus, we have obtained a set of controlling factors that can help to adjust migration flows in the Russian Federation. It was also found that there is a third type of regions, in addition to receiving and "donor" regions.
Sensory Properties of Carbon Nanotubes Containing Impurity Boron Atoms
Authors:   Volgograd State University, Boroznin Sergey
Published: February 2024

Nanotubes, being one of the most sought-after materials in nanotechnology, are finding new applications. One such area is their use as highly sensitive sensors. However, in the practical application of nanotubes, it often turns out that, despite their positive sorption properties, the change in their electronic state does not occur after the capture of the analyzed substance. This fact significantly complicates the possibility of their use as sensor nanosensors. One of the ways to improve the electronic properties of carbon nanotubes by creating heterostructures on their surface is by modifying them with different atoms. In this case, one of the most effective for the substitution reaction is boron. It enables the creation of redistribution of electron density on the surface of nanotubes while making no significant changes to the topology of the nanotube surface. This paper analyzes a model experiment to study the possibility of using the nanotubes themselves as highly sensitive nanosensors with respect to carbon dioxide molecules. It is concluded that in order to control the sorption properties of carbon nanotubes for their use in fire-fighting devices, it is sufficient to modify them with impurity boron atoms without the introduction of additional functional groups.

This article is devoted to the issue of software protection based on the use of modern security methods. One of these methods is the introduction of procedures into the software system that should reduce the level of errors and the risks of vulnerability to the system and software. The key goal of the stage-by-stage implementation of the developed program is gradual detection of previously undetected errors and code defects. During this stage of software development both the customer and the executor may encounter a rather narrow range of errors related to partial data inconsistency when loading them into databases, as well as failures of program procedure execution due to the use of multi-user access. It is at this stage that the final picture of user interaction with the program is crystallized, and the degree of loyalty of the latter to the developed interface is also determined. If the output of the system to the design capacity after a number of modifications and improvements has occurred without any special complications, it means that the preliminary work on the project and the implementation of the previous stages of development were carried out correctly.

Authors: Sun Yuning , Zhu Junfeng , Zhu Boqian , Huang Jia
Published: February 2024

To solve the problems of traditional drug carriers such as their single structure and lack of graded release, this work designs and synthesizes a kind of microporous–mesoporous silica tube (MST) with a macroporous and mesoporous structure. Then, manganese dioxide (MnO2) nanoparticles prepared using the hydrothermal method are embedded in the macropores to form an MST/Mn micromotor, which is then loaded with heparin and urokinase for thrombolytic therapy. The motion behavior of the micromotor is also investigated. Both static and dynamic thrombolytic therapy are detected, and the results indicate that a better thrombolytic effect can be observed on the MST/manganese micromotor with a motion ability compared with the samples without a motion ability. This research is expected to provide ideas for the design of more effective thrombus treatment agents.

Abstract: This study examined the entrepreneurial knowledge and skills of engineering graduates and the entrepreneurial mindset of engineers. It also examined how entrepreneurial knowledge and skills affect the mindset of the entrepreneurial engineer. The study population consists of twenty-five Jordanian public and private universities that offer engineering programs. Based on the results of an overview of the engineering study plans of these universities, four universities were selected (The University of Jordan, Princess Sumaya University for Technology, Al- Hussein Technical University, Al-Hussein Technical University, Al-Ahliyya Amman University). The total number of engineering graduates participating in this study and whose responses were valid for the analysis was 65 students who graduated between 2016 and 2022. The results of this study indicated that the average entrepreneurial knowledge and skills of engineering graduates ranged between average and good. The findings also indicated that there is a statistically significant positive correlation between the entrepreneurial knowledge and skills of engineering graduates and their entrepreneurialmindset. The study concluded that it is essential for undergraduate engineering students to acquire entrepreneurial knowledge and skills that support their engineering major, and lead them to think broadly about their future careers and opportunities. Thus, entrepreneurial knowledge and skills enhance their competitiveness in innovative and rapidly emerging engineering industries. The study recommended the inclusion of entrepreneurship knowledge and skills in all engineering curricula and courses in universities.

The Ambitions of Wizards and the Warnings of Prophets: Religious Guidance on Climate Change?
Authors: Drees Willem B.
Published: February 2024

Secular wizardry and secular prophecy are two responses to climate change. Secular wizardry involves implementing technological solutions. Prophecy involves demanding conversion to a different way of life, warning against the hubris of “playing God.” Prophets do not predict the future but speak truth to power. Wizards are not playing God but striving for morally responsible action. What to do about climate change? Can religions provide guidance? Traditions are reformed when used to address current concerns, as scholars may see in the greening of religions. Replacing religions with a science-based cosmic epic has its own weaknesses, as do experiential green religions. Philosophical justification for addressing climate change is limited too, unless there is another underlying commitment, whether articulated in religious, humanist, or political terms. Humanity needs smart technology, but also appropriate pluralistic politics. The alternative is not prophecy but lament for the conditions that our grandchildren and their offspring will face.
Three-Legged Stool: A Peace Education Framework for Weaving Together Spirituality, Science, and Technology
Authors: Ardizzone Leonisa
Published: February 2024

Technological advancements and political-economic shifts are necessary to meaningfully address climate change. However, there is a difference between addressing climate change and transforming underlying behaviors to allow mass support of these changes, sustain the efforts of those working for change, and remodel global society so that changes are lasting and impactful. While technology is central, spirituality should be its companion. The spiritual component allows people to reimagine their relationship to the planet, to one another, and to global inhabitants who may be more devastatingly impacted by climate change. Grounded in the core values of holistic Earth care, relational existence, and global consciousness, this article explores how peace education encourages technological responses to climate chaos to be cognizant of the root causes of systemic violence in all its forms via intersectional, interspiritual, and interreligious lenses. The “three-legged stool” framework includes science, which imparts knowledge and evidence; technology, which offers solutions and adaptations; and spirituality, which provides grounding and transformational thinking.

Published: February 2024

In the next scientific article, an attempt is made to analyze the fables of Aesop, the founder of the classical genre of fables, as well as the conditions that led to the emergence of the genre of Kyrgyz fables, and consider them using historical and comparative methods. Indeed, in world practice, the emergence of the genre of fable, along with fairy tales about animals, was influenced by the Kyrgyz sages - Dzherenche Chechen, Akyl Karachach, Aldar Kuso, Asan Kaigy and others, who drew moral conclusions from the nature of animals. Attempts have been made to substantiate the hypothesis that people could also be influenced, based on facts. As a result, Aesop appeared in public, defended the rights of ordinary people with his fables, ridiculed his oppressors and demonstrated his superiority with eloquence and deep intellect. Also, Dzherenche Chechen, Akyl Karachach, Aldar Koso, Asan Kaigy and others, defended the interests of the general public and ridiculed the steps taken by the ruling class, images of animals and tried to establish justice

Background: Aerosols released during ultrasonic scaling can cause cross-contaminations. Infections like hepatitis and SARS-CoV-2 can spread through these aerosols. Preprocedural rinse is a cost-effective method to reduce aerosol contami-nation produced during ultrasonic scaling. Materials and Methods: This was a double-blinded randomised trial on 105 subjects diagnosed with chronic generalised periodontitis which was randomly allocated into three groups: Group I received 0.12% chlorhexidine (CHX), Group II received 5% Morinda citrifolia (noni) mouthrinse, Group III received distilled water. Participants were advised to mouthrinse for 60 seconds just before the start of ultrasonic scaling. The aerosols released during ultrasonic scaling were gathered on blood agar plates placed at three locations. Colony forming units (CFUs) were counted after 48 hours of incubation. Results: The highest CFU values were observed in the distilled water group and the lowest in chlorhexidine group (p<0.05). Patient chest area has the highest number of CFU than doctors’ and assistant chest area (p<0.05). Conclusions: Preprocedural rinsing with noni mouthwash can be used as an effective method of reducing aerosol contamination during ultrasonic scaling.

Objective: The purpose of the research was to com-pare the dimensions of the upper jaw between different age groups for the installation of mini-implants for rapid maxillary expansion. Materials and Methods: The study was descriptive, retroprospective and observational. Cone beam computed tomography was used for the evaluation of 30 patients between 7 and 56 years of age, divided into three groups, ten up to 14 years, ten from 15 to 30 years, and ten from 31 years and older. The premolar and molar regions were selected for the measurement of the maxilla in the coronal plane, both bone and soft tissue. To compare the measurements, the Kruskal Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests were used. Results: No statistically significant differences were found between the groups. The thicknesses of the bone tissue decreased from the first premolar to the second molar from 9.48 +/-3.71 mm to 5.40 +/-2.80 mm respectively, while the soft tissue thicknesses were more homogeneous with measurements of 0.56 +/-0.74 mm to 2.76 +/- 2.42 mm. Conclusions: The dimensions of the bone and soft tis-sue of the upper jaw, evaluated vertically for the installa-tion of mini-implants, were similar in all the age groups studied, with larger dimensions in men than in women at the premolar level. The dimensions of the maxilla for the palatal miniimplants were close to 9 mm in bone tissue and 3 mm of soft tissue at the level of premolars and 5 mm in hard tissue with 1 mm of soft tissue at the level of molars.

Aim: The aim of the study was to assess the oral health status and identify oral health perceived and unmet needs, and barriers in utilization of dental services among institutionalized elderly population in Chennai. Materials and Methods: Across sectional study was conducted among institutionalized an elderly population aged 65-74 years. Oral health status was assessed using the WHO Oral Health Assessment Form (2013). Self-perceived oral health needs and barriers in the utilization of dental services were assessed using a pre-tested questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and Pearson Chi Square Test was done to analyse the data. Results: There was a high frequency of periodontitis among the study participants. The unmet oral health needs were high. The self-perceived oral health condition was good among the study participants. The major barrier for utilization of dental services was the lack of information on oral health. Conclusions: In India, which is a developing country, a low level of dental care results from low-level financing of the Indian health care system. This, however, does not mean that even in the current poor economic conditions, it is impossible to improve the dental awareness of the residents of care homes. The improvement is also possible through the inclusion of dental check-ups into the schedule of general dental examinations of the residents performed once in 6 months.

Rights and Legitimate Interests of a Human in the Era of Development of New Biomedical Technologies
Authors: Motova Ekaterina
Published: February 2024

Problems related to the protection of human rights and freedoms in the healthcare sector are becoming increasingly relevant and significant. This is due to the entry of mankind into the post-industrial era, accompanied by the rapid development of new biomedical technologies. In this regard, a completely justified question arises: are fundamental human rights sufficiently well regulated at the legislative level? Based on this question, the goal of the study was set, which is to study the rights and legitimate interests of citizens in the field of regulation of biomedical technologies, the achievement of which is ensured by setting the following tasks: to reveal the etymology of the term “biotechnology”, giving it a justification not only from a linguistic, but also from a legal point of view; analyze the existing rights and legitimate interests of citizens in the biomedical industry, enshrined in international and domestic regulatory legal acts. To achieve the designated goal and objectives, the formal-legal and logical methods, as well as methods of analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, were used. The empirical base was formed by legal doctrine, international legal acts, regional acts, domestic legislation. As a result of the study, some domestic and foreign regulations affecting the rights and legitimate interests of citizens in the field of biotechnology development were characterized. It has been established that at the moment the rights and interests at the international and national levels are regulated only fragmentarily, which can lead to a violation of their violation in the healthcare sector. This suggests the need for further research on this topic.
Principles of Integrative Criminological Knowledge in Foreign and Russian Doctrine
Authors: Sudakova Tatyana
Published: February 2024

The article reveals questions about the inclusion of integrative processes of criminology in the general context of the development of science. Integration is represented by a natural, logical process of interpretation of scientific knowledge, based on complementary postulates – a focus on increasing the efficiency of science and at the same time on the specifics of the development of modern society. In the new context of the development of the post-classical stage of science with its polyparadigmality and the formation of metatheories, there was a request for the development of a qualitatively different integrative paradigm in criminology. The purpose of the article is to reveal the nature of the integrative ties of criminology in the conditions of the transformational processes of science and society at the postmodern stage with the formation of other laws of its subject-methodological aspects. The integrative potential of Russian criminology is associated today with the development of approaches to combining anti-crime theories and practices into a single holistic theory, the discovery of new connections and relations between the components of the system, including through the methodology of synergistic and holistic approaches. Modern Russian postmodern criminology, based on the integrative processes of science, has received impetus and is developing in a number of local areas of research, however, even today there are no conceptual and methodological decisions on the further development of its integration ties and without the support of an appropriate development methodology. Foreign criminology is characterized by a progressive integration approach, which is a natural stage in the development of its integration ties in the new paradigm conditions of postmodern.
Gaps and Conflicts in Certain Norms of Criminal Procedure Legislation Related to the Final Stage of Pre-Trial Proceedings
Authors: Nazyrova Natalia
Published: February 2024

Unregulated legal relations lead to violations of the rights of their participants, which is cause for special concern in the sphere of power relations that include, among other things, criminal procedure relations. Legislators have given the accused considerable rights and guaranteed their protection in the Constitution of the Russian Federation and the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation. However, a growing abuse of such rights by these participants of criminal court proceedings testifies to the necessity of eliminating the gaps and conflicts in the Criminal Procedure Code of the RF that they take advantage of. The article contains an analysis of the existing gaps and conflicts connected with the end of the preliminary investigation and the familiarization of the accused with the materials of the case. The author presents some scenarios for the regulation of the abovementioned criminal procedure legal relations that could contribute to achieving the existing tasks of the final stage of pre-trial proceedings and to simplifying the access of citizens to justice.
Typical Mechanisms of Criminal Invasion of Privacy on the Internet
Authors: Barinov Sergey
Published: February 2024

The author describes typical mechanisms of criminal violations of privacy on the Internet by singling out such their elements as: necessary conditions that create an opportunity for the perpetrators to implement the chosen crime mechanism; actions constituting preparation for the crime; actions constituting the crime itself; actions aimed at concealing the fact of crime or the traces left by the perpetrators. It is noted that the object of crime has its specific features — this information constitutes personal or family secrets. The author presents examples of investigation and court practice that characterize crime mechanisms. The description of typical models of crime mechanisms is a source of forensically relevant information, which could be used as a basis for building versions regarding the circumstances of the violations and the persons involved.
Optimizing the Use and Evaluation of the Results of Operational Investigative Activities as Evidence
Authors: Bryanskaya Elena
Published: February 2024

The current criminal procedure legislation provides a sufficiently detailed regulation of the process of proof in criminal cases. The object of proof, its means, the procedures of collecting, investigating, verifying and evaluating evidence are quite clear. However, both researchers and practitioners in the sphere of criminal court proceedings are still arguing about the rules of evaluating the results of operational investigative activities. Scholarly discussions at round tables and research conferences demonstrate that it is necessary to work out simpler algorithms for using operative information as evidence in a criminal case. Nevertheless, the procedural law still remains “at a standstill” and provides a rather superficial regulation of the evidentiary value of the results obtained during operational investigative actions. The author presents her opinion regarding the necessity of improving and optimizing means of proof by simplifying the procedural formalities of giving operational information the strength of evidence.
Renovation and Integrated Development of Territories: Essence and Correlation
Authors: Guseva Galina
Published: February 2024

At present, a multitude of dilapidated and precarious housing is an acute issue in the regions of RF. In Moscow, this problem is being eliminated by implementing the Renovation Program. According to Federal Law № 494-FL, unofficially called the law «on the integrated development of territories» or «All-Russian renovation», the regional implementation of projects for the integrated development of territories is under way. The purpose of this study is to determine the essence and correlation of renovation and integrated development of territories, taking into account specific needs of the regions. The research methodology is based on a theoretical analysis and systematization of existing approaches to the interpretation of the term «renovation» and its goals in the regional context, as well as an analysis of the legal framework for the integrated territorial development and renovation. There is no legal interpretation of the term «renovation» at the federal level; and, due to its multiple interpretations used in science, it proves difficult to define its essence. The paper studies the existing scientific approaches to the definition of «renovation» in the housing area. Based on the conducted analysis, the author's interpretation of the term «renovation» is proposed, which meets the norms of the current legislation and the needs of the regions. In addition, the author has suggested the ‘Tree of Renovation Goals’, which most comprehensively cover its impact on the urban environment and well-being of the population, as well as envisaging and emphasizing the individual needs of the regions.

Authors: Davydova Galina , Shchetinin Yury
Published: February 2024

The purpose of the study is to assess the possibility of changing the trade exchange of timber products between Russia and China, caused by external circumstances. First, the growing sanctions pressure on both countries; secondly, the cessation of roundwood exports from Russia to China from the beginning of 2022, which accounted for up to 60 % of the total foreign trade turnover in timber products between the countries; thirdly, a special military operation of Russia since February 2022. All this led to a severance of logistical and financial ties and complicated the economic state of the forest complex of both countries in 2022.
The article identifies and analyzes the most significant indicators that affect the efficiency of the development of forestry in Russia and China, as the basis of the forest industry. Including dynamics and trends in forest areas in both countries for 2010– 2021. which made it possible to show their multidirectional nature: in Russia, forest areas decreased by 0.37 %, in China - increased by 9.87 %. This indicates that contradictions between the owner of the forest and the forest business are growing in Russia, and vice versa in China.
It has been established that the total forest reserves in Russia are 4.7 times greater than in China, and the forest reserves per hectare of forest area are 1.35 times greater. This is the competitive advantage of Russian forests. But the study of the trend of their changes indicates a reduction in forest reserves over the study period in Russia, and an increase in China. The quality of forest management in our country needs to be improved.
It is noted that Russian and Chinese forests have been degraded. The reasons for this are different. Different outcomes and factors influencing reforestation in the countries studied. It is shown that in Russia during the study period, not only deforestation was observed, but also forest degradation, i.e. deterioration of the species composition, reduction of the species diversity of forest ecosystems.
The studied dynamics and trends in the parameters of development of the forestry sector of the two countries made it possible to determine the directions for deepening economic cooperation in the field of forestry relations in the context of sanctions pressure on Russia and China, aimed at their expansion, taking into account the observance of mutual interests.

Authors: Grigoryeva N. N. , Airapetov G. A.
Published: February 2024

Introduction A coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, called COVID-19 by the WHO has caused a pandemic of respiratory illness killed more than 6 million people. The severe infection has a significant negative impact on the entire musculoskeletal system.

The objective was to summarize literature data on the mechanisms of the condition and identify musculoskeletal symptoms of COVID-19.

Material and methods An internet search of PubMed, MedLine and eLIBRARY library databases using the search terms: COVID-19, aseptic osteonecrosis, post-COVID-19 syndrome, arthropathy, musculoskeletal system, spondylitis, osteoporosis was performed.

Results and discussion Musculoskeletal symptoms of COVID-19 are reported in 31-59% of cases. Mechanisms of musculoskeletal involvement of coronavirus infection include cytotoxic effect of the virus on osteogenesis cells, vascular inflammation and coagulopathy, “cytokine storm”, side effects of drug therapy and hypoxia. According to an etiological factor, musculoskeletal manifestations of SARS-CoV-2 include autoimmune (reactive arthritis, sacroiliitis, ankylosing spondylitis, axial spondyloarthritis, psoriatic arthritis) conditions caused by impaired circulation of bone tissue (aseptic osteonecrosis), infectious (septic arthritis, spondylitis, spondylodiscitis) and metabolic (osteopenia, osteoporosis) conditions.

Conclusion It has been established that COVID-19 infection has a negative impact on the musculoskeletal, endocrine and immune systems increasing the risk of degenerative diseases of the musculoskeletal system and infectious complications in orthopaedic patients early post surgery.

Introduction Elbow trauma is common accounting for 40-50 % of all musculoskeletal injuries in children. From them, lateral condyle fractures are the second most common fractures in the pediatric elbow with complications ranging from 3.3 to 54.8 %.

The objective was to determine the effectiveness of nonunion of the lateral humeral condyle (LHC) treated with bone grafts harvested from the patient's fibular shaft and the Ilizarov apparatus.

Material and methods We report surgical treatment of bone defect repaired with bone graft and the Ilizarov apparatus in 57 children with nonunion of the LHC. Maintained articulation between the non-united bone and the radial head, magnitude and direction of displacement, visible resorption of the epimetaphysis, bone deficiency, malaligned upper limb, late ulnar neuritis were the parameters used for outcome assessment. Depending on the type of surgical treatment the patients were divided into 3 groups: Group 1 (n = 13) included patients who underwent open osteosynthesis and bone fixation using 2-3 Kirschner wires; Group 2 (n = 30) consisted of patients who underwent surgery to repair the bone defect between the humerus metaphysis and an non-united fragment of the LHC fixed with wires and immobilized with a cast; Group 3 (n = 12) included patients who were treated with bone graft followed by fixation of the bone and the graft using Ilizarov wires and frame. Two patients underwent supracondylar osteotomy.

Results The outcomes were evaluated based on criteria to include non-union consolidation, joint function, limb alignment and condition of the growth plate. Long-term results were explored in 49 (85.9 %) patients out of 57 over a period of 6 months to 10 years. The results were rates as good in 39 (79.6 %) patients, as fair in 9 (18.36 %) and poor in one (2.04 %) case.

Discussion Various types of operations are reported for non-united fractures and non-unions of the cervical spine to include surgeries from open osteosynthesis to complicated reconstructions.

Conclusion Surgeries aimed at repair of bone defects using fibular autograft facilitated consolidation of non-unions and engraftments.

Introduction Among the generally accepted theories of the etiology and pathogenesis of palmar fascial fibromatosis, the role of infectious factors has not been considered; however, there are references to fungal skin lesions in patients with advanced contractures and several studies that identified fungal infection in surgical material from such patients.

The purpose of the work was to assess the pathogenetic and clinical significance of fungal infection of the palmar fascia in Dupuytren's contracture.

Materials and methods We studied 41 medical records of patients operated on for Dupuytren's contracture in stages II-IV. The surgical material was examined at the light-optical level (hematoxylin-eosin and methenamine-silver PASM stains) and with scanning electron microscopy.

Results Fungal infection of the palmar aponeurosis was detected in 20 out of 41 patients; various types of tissue reaction to the introduction of fungi into the palmar aponeurosis and the blood vessels perforating it were found. Groups of patients without signs of fungal invasion (n = 21) and with signs of fungal infection of the palmar aponeurosis (n = 20) were comparable in clinical and demographic characteristics, but significantly differed in the rate of early relapses, 0 versus 25 % in the group with fungal infection (p = 0.02).

Discussion The immunogenetic characteristics of patients with palmar fascial fibromatosis and characteristic skin lesions create general and local conditions for the introduction of fungal flora.

Conclusion Histological detection of pseudohyphae of the genus Candida in the palmar aponeurosis and the lumens of blood vessels in patients with Dupuytren's contracture verifies invasive candidiasis; the relationship between fungal infection of the aponeurosis and an increased rate of early relapses of contracture has been statistically proven. To increase the duration of the relapse-free period and potentially the life expectancy of patients, consultations with infectious disease mycologists and correction of modifiable risk factors for candidiasis are necessary.
The MasQsano Method. Detection of unknown cardiac diseases in health screening for athletes
Authors: Rodríguez Martínez Antonio , Berenguel Martínez Pablo
Published: February 2024

The sports medical examination is considered a starting point for any athlete before taking up physical or sporting activity. Its main objective is to detect pathologies that could put your life at risk and those that, once corrected, can enhance physical performance. This is why it must be carried out by a multidisciplinary health team with expertise in the area. In this way, it is important to review the scientific evidence and learn directly about the health status of a group of adult and child athletes, their incidence of cardiovascular diseases and the role of nursing in their application. This study evaluated a sample of 7340 athletes aged between 3 and 17 years, composed of 1693 females and 5647 males, who underwent a sports medical examination, according to a registered and previously established protocol in sports clubs in 2 Spanish provinces with the support of nursing staff during the year 2021. Of these, a total of 112 cases of cardiac pathologies were obtained, of which 54% were known to have a cardiac pathology and 64% were unknown. Of this group of unknown cardiac pathologies, 5.9% of the cases required surgical intervention, 21.1% are under review and 73% were discharged. The total number of cases with unknown cardiac pathologies represents 0.70% of the sample. The fundamental role of nursing in the application of this protocol was also determined.

The authors provide an overview of lip reconstruction of various defects. Lip reconstruction offers unique challenges to preserve not only lip function but also aesthetics.

Lip reconstruction must take into consideration the three anatomical layers that comprise the lip and defects that involve the mucosa, the muscle, the skin or more than one layer will help determine the modality of repair. The authors offer an algorithm based on defect location, tissue involvement, and severity of defect to simplify an often complex decision-making process.
