Published: April 2021

Several studies have demonstrated that the genetic polymorphisms in the genes encoding immune regulatory molecules, namely cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA4) and CD28, play a fundamental role in susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Several disperse population studies have resulted in conflicting outcomes regarding the genetic polymorphisms in these genes and RA risk. This systematic review and meta-analysis study was performed to reach a conclusive understanding of the role of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of CTLA4-rs231775, CTLA4-rs5742909, and CD28-rs1980422 in susceptibility to RA. Databases (ISI Web of Science, MEDLINE/PubMed, and Scopus) were searched to find the case–control studies surveying the association of CTLA4 gene rs231775, CTLA4 gene rs5742909, and CD28 gene rs1980422 polymorphisms and RA susceptibility in different population until August 2020. Association comparison between the polymorphisms and RA proneness was assessed using pooled odds ratio (OR) and their corresponding 95% confidence interval. This study was conducted on 16 population studies, comprising 1078 RA patients and 1118 healthy controls for CTLA4-rs231775, 2193 RA patients and 2580 healthy controls for CTLA4-rs5742909, and 807 RA patients and 732 healthy controls for CD28-rs1980422. Analysis indicated that G-allele, GG and GA genotypes, and dominant model for rs231775, recessive model for rs5742909, and C-allele, CC and CT genotypes, and recessive model for rs1980422 were significantly associated with increased RA risk. This meta-analysis showed that genetic polymorphisms of both immune inhibitory and activating genes, including CTLA4-rs231775, CTLA4-rs5742909, and CD28-rs1980422 polymorphisms, may increase susceptibility to RA.

Published: April 2021

Background:

The role of surgery in the treatment of patients with distant metastatic (M1) gastric cancer (GC) remains controversial currently. This study aimed to clarify the impact of primary tumor resection (PTR) on the survival of such patients.

Materials and Methods:

The surveillance, epidemiology, and end results database was adopted to extract eligible patients. We designed a retrospective case–control study. The patients were divided into two groups according to whether they received PTR. The 1:1 propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was performed to balance the confounding factors between no-surgery and surgery groups. The categorical variables were described with Chi-square tests. Cancer-specific survival (CSS) and overall survival (OS) were evaluated by Kaplan–Meier method with log-rank test. Cox proportional hazard models were utilized to identify prognostic factors of CSS.

Results:

A total of 1716 patients were included, including 1108 (64.6%) patients without surgery and 608 (35.4%) patients with surgery. After PSM, most confounders were well balanced between the two comparison groups. Survival analysis in matched cohorts indicated that surgery exerted significant survival advantages in both CSS and OS curves. The median CSS was 11.0 (9.8–12.2) months in the surgery group versus 9.0 (8.0–10.0) months in the no-surgery group (P < 0.001). Multivariable Cox regression analysis identified surgery as an independent prognostic factor for favorable prognosis (hazard ratio: 0.689, 95% confidence interval: 0.538–0.881, P = 0.003).

Conclusion:

Surgery showed significant survival benefits for the patients with M1 stage GC. Our study has provided additional evidence to support PTR for these patients.

Two cases are presented with coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19)-related hiccups: one during initial presentation and one 10 days after COVID-19 diagnosis. Hiccups in both patients were resistant to treatment and responded only to chlorpromazine. COVID-19 patients may present with hiccups and also may have hiccups after treatment. Resistant hiccups without any underlying disease other than COVID-19 should be considered in association with COVID-19 and may respond well to chlorpromazine.
Ecologia și geografia pădurilor primare de mesteacăn din Rusia
Authors: Yurkovskaya Tatiana
Published: April 2021

Pădurile primare de mesteacăn, spre deosebire de pădurile secundare sunt strict delimitate ecologic și geografic și se diferențiază în câteva tipuri distincte de păduri pe teritoriul Rusiei. Speciile Betula czerepanovii, B. davurica, B. pendula, B. pubescens, B. ermanii, B. litwinowii, B. raddeana participă la edificarea compoziției acestor păduri ca specii dominante și subdominante.

Factorii geografici determinanți pentru distribuția spațială a pădurilor primare de mesteacăn sunt latitudinea, longitudinea și altitudinea. Factorul de mediu determinant pentru distribuția în spațiul geografic este climatul. Lucrarea de față prezintă harta analitică a pădurilor primare de mesteacăn din Rusia precum și diagrama 3D a repartiției în raport cu coordonatele spațiale a tipurilor de păduri de mesteacăn pe teritoriul European și Asiatic al Rusiei. Se disting două categorii de păduri de mesteacăn, în raport cu distribuția lor geografică. Prima categorie include păduri în care domină Betula pendula sau/și B. pubescens. În arealul ocupat, aceste tipuri de păduri vegetează pe suprafețe compacte (păduri zonal, hemiboreale) sau sunt fragmentate și se prezintă sub forma unor crânguri într-o matrice edificată de vegetația stepică (păduri extrazonale). A doua categorie include păduri edificate de specii de mesteacăn cu areale bine delimitate. Se concentrează în condițiile extreme din nord și din sud ale zonei boreale și altitudinal, până la limita pădurilor în munți în partea continentală a Extremului Orient și în insulele din Pacificul de nord.

Articolul atrage atenția asupra unui moment important – anul 2020 - în evoluția sistemelor globale de poziționare satelitară (GNSS): celor două sisteme existente (GPS-Navstar și Glonass) li se adaugă două noi (BeiDou și Galileo). Sunt analizate atât elementele comune fiecărui GNSS, cât și situația fiecărui sistem în momentul noiembrie 2020. Pe baza acestor date sunt apoi susținute o serie de concluzii, care rezultă din creșterea numărului total de sateliți la peste 130 (o mai mare disponibilitate, precizie în poziționare, continuitate, eficiență și fiabilitate), mărirea gradului de compatibilitate (prin suprapunerea unor frecvențe emise) și a interoperabilității. Este evidențiat și efectul înmulțirii și modernizării segmentului de control de la sol (stații de monitorizare, sisteme complementare de îmbunătățire a poziționării bazate pe sateliți -SBAS). În final sunt amintite performanțele noilor receptoare, mai simple și mai ieftine, capabile să urmărească numărul maxim de sateliți și să recepționeze numărul maxim de semnale, făcându-le astfel utile în tot mai multe domenii de activitate.

Goat management in rural areas is still commonly done traditionally with little regard for health factors. One factor is the presence of parasitic worms in the goat's digestive tract which causes disturbed growth. The research aims to evaluate the effect of the addition of turmeric and multinutrient block plus (MNBP) in eliminating endoparasites and increasing feed intake of Jawarandu goats. The material used was 12 male Jawarandu goats weighing an average of 20 kg. A completely randomized design was used in this study with 4 treatments and 3 replications. Treatment T0: basal ration + MNBP; T1: T0 + 1% turmeric; T2: T0 + 3% turmeric; T3: T0 + 5% turmeric. The parameters observed were feed intake, weight gain, number of endoparasites and total eggs per gram of feces. Data analysis using analysis of variance significance level of 5% to determine the effect of treatment. If there is a treatment effect, it is followed by Duncan's multiple range test. The results showed a decrease in the number of endoparasites. The best treatment to induce an antibody system is T2 treatment, namely the addition of turmeric with a level of 3%. Feed intake was not significantly increasing although improving body weight gain in T2 and T3. The conclusion of the study is that the administration of MNBP and turmeric with a level of 5% has not been able to eliminate all endoparasites until the 28th day. MNBP and turmeric are useful as natural antioxidants. Increased level of turmeric can increase weight gain and immune system of goats.

Published: April 2021

Abstract

Amorphophallus companulatus (AC) is a plant from the Araceae family that contains high metabolizable energy and an alternative feedstuff for livestock. This study aimed to investigate the effect of feeding diet containing AC on slaughter weight, carcass weight, and abdominal fat of broiler chickens. The feeding trial lasted for 35 days. For the sample, 112 broiler chicks, all a day old (DOC) were used. The research had 4 treatment groups and 4 replications with 7 birds per replication. The four treatments were P0 (Control ration without AC); P1 (rations containing 5% of AC); P2 (rations containing 10% of AC); P3 (rations containing 15% AC). Slaughter weight, carcass weight, and abdominal fat weight data were analyzed by variance analysis and followed by Duncan's multiple range test with a confidence level of 0.05. The addition of AC tubers affected the slaughter weight, carcass weight, and abdominal fat weight of broiler chickens. The slaughter and carcass weight in chickens fed with the control ration was significantly (P <0.05) higher than the chicken fed with rations containing AC. The abdominal fat weight was significantly (P <0.05) higher in chickens fed with control rations compared to those fed with AC rations. In conclusion, AC tuber meal in the ration can reduce the slaughter weight, carcass weight, and abdominal fat weight of broiler chickens.

Published: April 2021

Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion (BRVO) is the second most frequent retinal vascular disorder. Hypertension and diabetes mellitus are common predisposing factors, which typically lead to atherosclerosis. Superotemporal Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion (STBRVO) is a major type of BRVO. In which retinal oedema and haemorrhages are limited to the area drained by the affected vein. Anti-VEGF injection is the treatment currently provided for the above said condition but it has high recurrent rate and expensive, thus Ayurvedic treatment will help in preventing further visual loss and improvement in visual acuity. Materials and methods: A patient of age 48 approached our OPD complaining of decreased and blurred vision especially at the lower part of visual field of right eye. He had developed the symptoms before 2 month and visited an ophthalmologist; he was diagnosed of STBRVO and took inj. Avastin, but didn’t have any satisfaction, thus he approached our OPD. He was under Ayurvedic treatment for 3 months. Results: There was improvement in visual field and acuity, reduction of macular oedema was found in OCT. Discussion: Here the condition occurred due to the Sanga (obstruction) in Raktha vaha srothas due to Kapha and leads to Vimarga gamana (reversed flow) of Vata, thus Srotho sanga hara treatment by reducing Kapha and making the flow of Vata in correct direction was adopted.
AYURVEDIC MANAGEMENT OF SECONDARY INFERTILITY DUE TO POLYCYSTIC OVARIAN SYNDROME AND TUBAL BLOCK: A CASE STUDY
Authors: Rineesha K.P  , Asha. S.T
Published: April 2021

Secondary infertility is defined as the inability of a couple to conceive who had at least one prior conception. Ovarian factor and tubal factor are the most frequent causes of secondary infertility in woman. Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is a common endocrinological disorder and it is characterized by menstrual irregularities and anovulation. It can be correlated with Nashtartava in Ayurveda. Tubal factor infertility occurs when an obstruction in fallopian tube and it can be correlated with Sanga srotodushti of Artavavaha srotas or Beejavaha srotas. A 36 year old female presented with a complaint of secondary infertility a diagnosed case of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and tubal block with a history of neonatal death due to preterm delivery at 24 week gestation and husband aged 38 year with normal semen analysis. The present case was treated on Ayurvedic management protocol including shodhana, samana therapies and uttaravasti. Treatment was started with Deepana - Pachana medicines. Then Udwarthanam, Virechanam, Mathra vasti and Uttaravasti were done which removes the srotorodha and helps in proper formation of each dhatu. Uttaravasti is the most effective local treatment in gynaecological disorders. Uttaravasti with hot potency medicine is very effective in treating tubal blockage. The outcome of the treatment resulted in twin pregnancy and delivered two female babies. So the present case signifies the fruitful outcome of Ayurvedic treatment in the field of infertility.

Authors: Sridevi. M  , B.S.Savadi
Published: April 2021

Menstruation is the end point of series of events which begin in the cerebral cortex and hypothalamus and ends at the uterus in the hypothalamic pituitary –ovarian uterine axis. Any break in this axis creates Menstrual Problems. PCOS is one such condition associated with abnormal gonadotropic secretion which in turn lead to menstrual irregularity acne and hirsutism- Its prevalence ranging from 2.2% to 26% with age ranging from 18-45 years. In modern science PCOS is managed by down regulating HPO axis using Hormonal Pills which have their own side effects. Therefore complete, comprehensive and holistic approach towards its understanding & treatment is the need of the age. Ayurveda has no direct correlation to PCOS. There are similar condition acc to symptoms are explained under the concept of Pushpaghni, Jathaharini. Here under PCOS w.s.r. to Oligomenorrhoea, interval between menses, duration of flow, amount of flow and other symptoms like pain are considered. The effect of Anjani vati (Trial drug) is compared with Krishna Tila Kalka (Control Drug) in two groups containing 30 patients each.
Performance of/or Debt
Authors: Rafolt Leo
Published: April 2021

On the occasion of its one hundredth anniversary, one bank opened a time vault. A group of indebted Croatian citizens decided to place their final testimony in it: The Black Book, a document containing all their memories, testimonies or references to the 2016 climax of the bank crises triggered by the sudden, unexpected inflation of the CHF. In exactly one hundred years someone will open this book, and thus re-discover the economy’s frank face. Meanwhile, Montažstroj offers a performance about the European precariat and the influences of debt-economics in our lives, not only financial, social and political, but existential as well. Their performance is, therefore, put in the context of contemporary political economic theories, mainly because of the intertextual connections with the contract with the Devil notion from Christopher Marlow’s Doctor Faustus, while critical references to Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, Jacques Derrida, Maurizio Lazzarato, Bernard Stiegler and Franco Berardi Bifo, attempt to re-contextualize the performance’s strategies in a wider problematic field of the decay of capitalism.
Melchior Palágyi: Der Gegensatz von Geist und Leben. Schriften zur schöpferischen Verbindung von Erkenntnistheorie und Vitalismus. Edited by Heiko Heublein. München: Albunea Verlag, 2018. 232 pp.
Authors: Noack Martin
Published: April 2021

Like no other, the Hungarian psychologist and philosopher Melchior Palágyi recognized the power of imagination not only as a prerequisite for the ability to imagine and think, but also as a fundamental condition for movement and perception. With the original theory of the “virtual imagination”, Palágyi’s ideas inspired Philosophical Anthropology and medicine after his death. Today, however, he and his theory seem to have been forgotten. The following review is therefore dedicated to the work “Leben und Geist” (Life and Spirit), edited by Heiko Heublein and published in 2018, which is a representative cross-section of Palágyi’s work. The review focuses on his reflections on the theory of perception, which are the core not only of the anthology, but of his oeuvre. The most important cornerstones of Palágyi’s theory of perception are the “theory of intermittent perception” and the “virtual imagination”.

Il coro come soggetto negato e l’eterno conflitto con l’individuo nel teatro di Einar Schleef
Authors: Settimi Linn
Published: April 2021

The paper aims to outline one of the fundamental figures in the theatrical aesthetic of Einar Schleef: the choir as removed protagonist of the tragic conflict. Starting from a description of choir as “pestiferous mass”, feared and therefore emarginated (as Schleef defines it in his controversial essay Droge Faust Parsifal), the article depicts the ambiguous and insolvable struggle between illusionary individual and failed community. A topic strongly pointed out in three significant productions: Goetz von Berlichingen by Johann W. Goethe, Vor Sonnenaufgang by Gerhart Hauptmann e Herr Puntila und sein Knecht Matti by Bertolt Brecht.
Le fonti, i metodi e le narrazioni della storia della videoarte in Italia negli anni Settanta
Authors: Parola Lisa
Published: April 2021

This essay derives from the primary need to make order between direct and indirect sources available for the reconstruction of the history of video art in Italy in the seventies. In fact, during the researches for the Ph.D. thesis it became clear that in most cases it is difficult to define, in terms of facts, which of the different historiographies should be taken into consideration to deepen the study of video art in Italy. Beyond legitimate differences of perspectives and methods, historiographical narratives all share similar issues and narrative structure. The first intention of the essay is, therefore, to compare the different historiographic narratives on Italian video art of the seventies, verifying their genealogy, the sources used and the accuracy of the narrated facts. For the selection of the corpus, it was decided to analyze in particular monographic volumes dealing with the history of the origins of video art in Italy. The aim was, in fact, to get a wide range of types of "narrations", as in the case of contemporary art and architecture magazines, which are examined in the second part of the essay. After the selection, for an analytical and comparative study of the various historiography, the essay focuses only on the Terza Biennale Internazionale della Giovane Pittura. Gennaio ’70. Comportamenti, oggetti e mediazioni (Third International Biennial of Young Painting. January '70. Behaviors, Objects and Mediations, 1970, Bologna), the exhibition which - after Lucio Fontana's pioneering experiments - is said to be the first sign of the arrival of videotape in Italy (called at the time videorecording), curated by Renato Barilli, Tommaso Trini, Andrea Emiliani and Maurizio Calvesi. The narration given so far of this exhibition appeared more mythological than historical and could be compared structurally to that of the many numerous beginnings that historiographyies on international video art identify as ‘first’ and ‘generative’. In the first part of the essay the 'facts' related to Gennaio ’70, as narrated by historiography on video art, are compared. In the second part the survey is carried out through some of the direct sources identified during the research, with the aim of answering to questions raised by the comparison between historiographies. Concluding, it is important to underline that the tapes containing the videos transmitted have not been found and seem to have disappeared since the ending of the exhibition. Nevertheless, the deepening of the works and documentation transmitted during the exhibition is possible thanks to other types of sources which give us many valuable information regarding video techniques and practices at the beginning of 1970 in Italy.

There are 40 students randomly selected per strand. They are tested using the Language Proficiency Test in English. The one-way Analysis of Variance was utilized in the study. The findings reveal that there is a significant difference (p<0.05) in the English language proficiency of the students from the five (5) strands. Moreover, the students from the STEM strand excel from the other strands. This further indicates that the STEM students are more superior and developed on the academic literacy, alternative understandings and adequate formulation of theories and concepts in dealing with different variations of linguistics skills.

The Correlation Between Blue Light Glasses and High School Student Retention in Class
Authors: Skelly Lauren , Talarczyk Patricia
Published: April 2021

Blue light is known to have a multitude of negative effects on the health and well-being of someone who is frequently exposed to the harmful light. Blue light glasses are able to provide temporary relief from blue light exposure through filtering out concentrations of blue light, discontinuing the transfer through the retina of the eye. The experiment consists of three reading comprehension tests, all of equal difficulty and length. There are two treatment groups: wearing blue light blocking glasses and not wearing blue light blocking glasses. After participating in the experiment, participants also answered a short survey in regards to their experiences with blue light during school and outside of school. The results of the study were inconclusive, showing little to no correlation between wearing blue light blocking glasses and improved test scores. The survey allowed for further discovery about the negative implications resulting from blue light exposure, as many participants felt blue light has harmed their health and focus both in the classroom and outside of school. Since there was no statistical significance between treatment groups, considerations should be taken into perspective for future research to ensure more accurate results. Overall, blue light blocking glasses did not improve the ability to retain more information for high school student participants.
