Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects around 13% of the adult population, has become a considerable concern worldwide, and is characterized by inadequate renal clearance, resulting in the accumulation of various potential toxic compounds. Metabolomics, one of the many important parts of “omics” science, refers to the systematic study of metabolites in a living system and their changes because of pathophysiological and genetic modifications. The use of metabolomics in the nephrology field of research has offered a better understanding of the pathomechanisms of CKD. The most recent technologies used for the evaluation of plasma and urinary metabolites are nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass spectroscopy (MS). A major research direction of modern medicine is to develop new therapies and new biomarkers for the early diagnosis of patients with CKD. Experimental studies of renal metabolism unequivocally demonstrated that kidney function has a huge impact on several circulating metabolites. Moreover, metabolites themselves appear to have an essential role in CKD pathogenesis/complications, being recognized as potential biomarkers with prognostic, diagnostic, and therapeutic value for the disease. The present paper provides a bird’s eye view on metabolomics and a summary of the most recent studies of metabolomics carried out in patients with CKD.

Mitral valve regurgitation (MR) is the most common valvular heart disease. Diagnosing and managing mitral regurgitation is often challenging and requires a structured approach, integrating findings on history, physical examination and imaging. A common cardiac anomaly is myxomatous mitral valve prolapse. Excess myxomatous leaflet tissue, bileaflet prolapse or billowing, chordae elongation and annular dilatation are all features of Barlow’s disease. Currently, there is no successful pharmacological treatment available to prevent or slow its progression. Here, we report the case of a 30-year-old male patient, with no previous significant medical background and no medication at home, who was diagnosed with severe mitral regurgitation at a regular check-up and was admitted to our clinic with mild exertion dyspnea and fatigue. Transthoracic echocardiography showed intensely thickened mitral leaflets with a myxomatous appearance, prolapse of the middle scallop of the posterior leaflet (P2), apparently with ruptured chordae, and severe mitral regurgitation with a holosystolic eccentric jet. While oxidative stress is a central pathomechanism of cardiovascular disease, information regarding valvular oxidative stress in the literature is rather scarce. In this respect, we assessed oxidative stress through confocal microscopy in a sample of a mitral valve harvested during valvular surgery. We found an increased production of reactive oxygen species in the mitral valve sample that was alleviated after incubation with the angiotensin 2 receptor type I (AT1) antagonist irbesartan. This case is worth mentioning as a starting point for a prospective study aimed at assessing the role of valvular oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction in patients with various degrees of primary and secondary mitral regurgitation.

Authors: Sharma Pooja , Raina Pratyaksha , Sharma Sachit
Published: January 2022

(1) Background: Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) is a pathologic invasion of the placental trophoblasts to the myometrium and beyond. This study evaluates the demographic features, risk indicators, feto–maternal outcome, and treatment options in PAS women at our center. (2) Methods: This is a retrospective study carried out in 39 patients with placenta accreta spectrum in our tertiary health care center Sri Maharaja Gulab Singh (SMGS) Hospital, from July 2019 to September 2020. (3) Results: Most patients in our study were in the 30–35 years age group. The previous lower segment Caesarean section (LSCS) was the most critical risk factor for PAS in our research. Thirty-two of the women with PAS (82.05%) had undergone a hysterectomy, and eight patients did not undergo a hysterectomy. Twenty-eight patients needed Intensive Care Unit (ICU) care, 13 of them required ventilatory support, and three of them died due to hemorrhagic shock. In our study, preterm birth occurred in 26 patients (53.84%), while 21 (53.8%) required Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) admission, and six (15.4%) had early neonatal death and stillbirth. (4) Conclusion: PAS is a devastating event in women’s pregnancy. It leads to high maternal morbidity, mortality, and adverse neonatal outcome. The critical risk indicators for PAS are previous LSCS and placenta previa. Every case with these two concurrent conditions should be operated on in a planned way in the presence of senior obstetricians and of an anesthesiology team.

Ultrafast Protection of SiC MOSFETs With PCB Coil Based Current Sensors
Authors: Rafiq Aamir , Pramanick Sumit
Published: January 2022

Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFETs offer significant advantages in terms of improved efficiency and reduced size of power electronic converters. However, they possess lesser short circuit withstand time (SCWT) than silicon devices. Consequently, protection circuits for SiC MOSFETs should have a sub-microsecond response time for ensuring device safety. An ultrafast short-circuit protection scheme for TO 247 packaged SiC MOSFETs is presented in this article. The protection scheme utilizes PCB coils to sense the rate of change of current through SiC MOSFETs in a half-bridge circuit. The PCB coil output is integrated to produce a voltage that is proportional to the MOSFET current. The protection circuit compares this voltage with a fault current reference and protects the device when a fault is detected. The design of the protection circuit along with the PCB coil embedded half-bridge circuit board is discussed. Experimental results for a SiC MOSFET subjected to a hard switched fault (HSF) and a fault under load (FUL) are presented, which validates the ultrafast response capability of the protection scheme.
Aluminum Combustion Thermophotovoltaic for High Energy Density, Long Duration Power Applications
Authors: McConohy Geoff
Published: January 2022

Long range and long duration portable power require some kind of chemical fuel for practical use. Combustion of metals is a neglected method of producing power in a way that can emit no carbon dioxide pollutants. Here we propose a system using a thermophotoelectric (TPV) device to convert the emitted IR and visible light from the oxidation of aluminum directly into electrical power. A qualitative overview of the advantages of this scheme is presented, along with a simple techno-economic analysis of aluminum combustion. The advantages of this device warrant additional research into this area.
Loren Eiseley's Substitution
Authors: Kahr Bart
Published: January 2022

The anthropologist and acclaimed essayist, Loren Eiseley, in the midst of recounting a vision in the conclusion of a draft of a 1960 composition, “Creativity and Modern Science,” invoked Charles Darwin as the essay’s animating spirit. Eiseley modified his draft the next year and published it in no less than three of his subsequent books. The most striking differences between his draft and published texts is the substitution of Darwin in the final moments of the narrative with Francis Bacon, a barrister and philosopher who died nearly two centuries before the famous biologist was born. Here, is crafted a rationale for this unlikely switch, to the extent that the intent of another can be uncovered, by closely reading Eiseley’s psychologically charged work. Eiseley’s own struggles as both a scientist and an artist, identities respectively epitomized by Darwin and Bacon, reveal how and why the writer permitted his foremost heroes to be substituted, one for the other.
New Insight into the “Fortuitous Error” that Led to the 2000 Nobel Prize in Chemistry
Authors: Rasmussen Seth C
Published: January 2022

In 2000, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to Hideki Shirakawa, Alan G. MacDiarmid, and Alan J. Heeger “for the discovery and development of electrically conductive polymers.” While this award was in reference to their collaborative efforts on conducting polyacetylene in the mid-to-late 1970s, the narrative leading up to these efforts began in 1967 with the production of polyacetylene plastic films via what has been called a "fortuitous error." At the heart of this discovery were Shirakawa and a visiting Korean scientist, Hyung Chick Pyun. The current report provides background on Pyun and, for the first time, presents his version of the events leading to the discovery of polyacetylene films in order to provide new insight into this important historical event.

Published: January 2022

Large, complex megalithic monuments erected in great numbers on the Atlantic coast and in northern Europe during the 4th‒2nd millennia BC have never been found in Hungary, and the architectural forms and decorative arts of passage and chamber tombs, dolmens, stone circles, and menhirs have not been linked to the archaeological heritage of the Carpathian Basin. This is what renders a stone stele, with engravings evoking some megaliths in western Europe, found near Kevermes in the southeastern Great Hungarian Plain so extraordinary. In this article, we report the results of our research related to this unique object to clarify the circumstances of its discovery, to examine the possibility of forgery, to specify the raw material and provenance of the stele, and to explore the original context. In our next paper, we will present detailed descriptions of the analytical results and discuss the interactions and networks that may have led to the appearance of the motifs on the Kevermes stele on the Great Hungarian Plain.

Fish is a product of natural resources with high economic and biological value. One of the benefits of fish is  its nutrient that can increase immunity. However, fish to the public and have not been consumed evenly in Indonesia. This study aims to determine the relationship between knowledge and attitudes about fish consumption on society’s fish consumption behavior. The type of research is quantitative with a survey approach. The sample in this study was the community affected by the covid-19 pandemic in the Cimanggis district, Depok city with a total sample of 25 respondents who were selected by random sampling technique. The research data were analyzed using descriptive analysis and inferential analysis. The results showed that the percentage of 25 respondents who had high fish knowledge was 64%, respondents who had high fish consumption attitudes were 72%, and 64% of respondents had low fish consumption behavior. Meanwhile, the results of the correlation test showed that there was no relationship between knowledge and fish-consuming behavior (r= 0,160) and there was no relationship between attitude and fish-consuming behavior (r = 0,395). Based on the research results, it is expected that the community, educators and the government can create and implement programs that can increase fish consumption, thus society would have excellent immunity.

Published: January 2022

Background: Anaplastic multiple myeloma (AMM) is a very rare but distinct subtype of multiple myeloma (MM) with an extremely poor prognosis. Due to its rarity, AMM lacks detailed descriptions and clear definitions. Moreover, there is no consensus on the treatment and evidence suggests that AMM responds poorly to several novel therapies. We conducted a literature review and retrospective case series to determine clinical characteristics, pathological features, and outcomes of AMM. Case Presentation: Published case reports and case series of AMM since 1983 were systematically extracted and reviewed. A total of 52 patients with AMM were reported in the PUBMED since 1983, including 26 males (50%) and 26 females (50%). The age ranged from 29 years old to 85 years old, with a mean age of 57.02 years old. Most of the patients presented with bone pain (23, 44.2%), fatigue (18, 34.6%), plasmacytoma (18, 34.6%) and weight loss (7, 13.5%). The median survival of the patients was 4 months. To investigate the outcomes of patients with AMM in the current era of treatment, a series of 14 patients with AMM diagnosed at our institute between December 2012 and July 2021was retrospectively analyzed. Our retrospective case series consisted of 12 males (85.7%) and 2 females (14.3%), with a mean age of 59 years old. Most of our AMM patients displayed bone lytic lesions as a common manifestation. The common cytogenetic abnormality was 1q amplification. All patients received standard combination chemotherapy consisting of proteasome inhibitors and/or immunomodulatory agents, and half of the patients underwent autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) for our 14 AMM patients were 0.84 years and 1.52 years, respectively, which was significantly worse than the regular MM patients treated at our institute from 2003-2013 who had a PFS of 2.28 years and OS of 4.92 years. Conclusions: AMM is a very rare, morphologically distinct variant of MM. It has adverse cytogenetics and an aggressive course. It is often resistant to standard chemotherapy and presents with an extremely low survival rate.

Published: January 2022

Background & Objectives:  Discectomy followed by the fusion in the cervical spine is done for herniated cervical intervertebral disc causing neurologic symptoms when conservative management has failed. In our study, we assessed clinical presentation and functional outcomes after surgery through an anterior cervical approach.

Materials and Methods:  This retrospective cohort study was conducted in the Neurosurgery division, Lady reading hospital Peshawar. We included 42 consecutive patients who underwent single-level anterior cervical discectomy and fusion for the herniated cervical disc. The mean follow-up was 14 months. Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) was done in all patients using standalone titanium or PEEK cage. Z scores and associated p values were calculated to see the difference of significance between preoperative reported symptoms and their improvements postoperatively.

Results:  There were 37 male and 5 female patients. The mean age was 43 ± 9.8 years. Disc herniation mostly occurred at C4 – 5 and C5 – 6 levels (76.16%). Preoperatively, the Neck pain was present in 36 (85.7%), upper limb weakness in 20 (47.6%), numbness/paresthesias in 25 (59.5%), upper limb pain in 18 (42.84%), lower limbs spasticity in 14 (33.32%) and bladder involvement in 3 (7.14%) patients. Statistical significant postoperative improvements in (90-100%) were reported in symptoms. Postoperative complications were observed in 5 patients. Most reported complication, the dysphagia was noted in 9.52% patients.

Conclusions:  A significant proportion of patients with herniated cervical disc showed an excellent recovery after anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF).

Materials and Methods:  This was a retrospective case series of 328 patients (mean age, 40 years) with large and giant CPA tumors (predominantly vestibular schwannomas) who underwent surgical removal using a retro sigmoid approach over 4 years.

Results:  In the study, there were 58% (190) females while 42% (138) were males. 60% (197) of the tumors were right – sided and 40% (131) left – sided. Hearing loss was the main presenting complaint with 73% of the patients having non-serviceable hearing. There were 14 (4.3%) deaths reported during the retrospective analytic study. There were 3 cases of postoperative hemorrhage, and 11 patients expired due to post-operative wound infection. There were 13 cases diagnosed as having post-operative bacterial meningitis. Gross total tumor excision was achieved in 98% of patients based on postoperative imaging. There were 26 cases (8%) with postoperative CSF leakage that was managed with LP drain (5 patients) and in the rest VP shunt was done. Facial nerve function was graded according to the House Brackmann system. It was recorded in all patients following surgery: There were 16% patients with HB grade IV and 216 (66%) patients with HB grade III facial palsy. 

Conclusion:  Suboccipital Retrosigmoid approach is ideal for dealing with giant CPA tumors. Complication rates in our series were comparable with other reported literature.
Élize Féron, Wartime Sexual Violence Against Men: Masculinities and Power in Conflict Zones.
Authors: Palm Selina
Published: January 2022

Élize Féron’s concise book is an important and sobering read and includes a detailed synthesis of her empirical fieldwork in Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), and Ireland since 2005. She shines a spotlight on a theme which frequently remains invisible or exceptionalised in global research around sexual violence, namely men as victims of sexual abuse in conflict-affected settings. Féron argues that breaking this silence is an urgent feminist task if the patriarchal roots of sexual violence by men against multiple victims are to be better under-stood. This call needs to be heard by all people who are working on sexual violence today. The book highlights the lived experiences of male survivors and male perpetrators in multiple settings, enabling her theoretical analysis of how violence is understood, narrated, and addressed to emerge from concrete contexts of experience.

Sin embargo, al transcurrir del tiempo, se ignoró este patrimonio y quedó abandonado o destruido. El objetivo del presente trabajo es mostrar un diagnóstico inicial de las condiciones actuales del Patrimonio Industrial Inmueble que se generó durante la fundación de Gómez Palacio. Por lo anterior, se abordó la metodología desde los enfoques descriptivo y hermenéutico, posteriormente se encausó a un enfoque exploratorio para particularizar el estudio de dos casos, las antiguas fábricas: “La Amistad” y “LaEsperanza”, con el fin de contrastar lo analizado previamente con el estado actual de este patrimonio. Como resultados se encontró que, en ambos casos, se ha intervenido el espacio de diversas formas siendo las más recientes las que muestran una sensibilidad sobre el valor de estos inmuebles, por lo que se concluyó que, aunque se han hecho esfuerzos por conservar el Patrimonio Industrial en Gómez Palacio, estos son  insuficientes, ya que la difusión y concientización del patrimonio no están contempladas en los planes de intervención.

El estudio de la ciudad y sus interrelaciones es un área de estudio que involucra un gran número de disciplinas, la visión occidental de la ciudad ha trasladado sus métodos y modelos de ciudad a casi cualquier latitud del mundo, replicando los modelos urbanos sin considerar los contextos locales, creando serios problemas en el funcionamiento de estas. El artículo tiene como objetivo analizar la zona de “Las Minas”, Metepec y su relación con la ciudad. Metodológicamente el tema se desarrolla de los general a lo particular en cuatro partes:  Un análisis descriptivo del origen de las zonas metropolitanas en México desde el concepto de utopía; un estudio del contexto de la Zona Metropolitana del Valle de Toluca y su crecimiento urbano como heterotopía; la visualización de la zona de estudio a través del concepto de complejidad de Morin para comprender su situación como factor heterotópico y  con este análisis de las interrelaciones al interior del sitio se establecen los lineamientos de un diseño urbano que tome en cuenta las características propias del lugar. Con los hallazgos encontrados en el fenómeno de la urbanización se llegan a concluir que la posmodernidad y la globalización predomina la dimensión económica que han influido en la estandarización del diseño urbano.

The possibility, first raised by Rudolf Hilferding, of stabilizing a capitalist economy through the operations of a ‘general cartel’, leaving only social and political ‘contradictions’ to disturb the functioning of the system, gave rise to a discussion among Marxists not only on whether such a stabilization was at all possible, but also on the nature and scope of those contradictions. This discussion had been anticipated in the 1890s in the work of the Polish Marxist Ludwik Krzywicki (1859 – 1941). He put forward the idea that, in a capitalist economy stabilized in this way, a state of ‘industrial feudalism’ would prevail, in which society would become stratified into social classes without the possibility of mobility between those classes. This analysis was extended in 1940s by Oskar Lange (1904-1965) as he attempted to make sense of the American New Deal and rediscovered in the 1950s by Tadeusz Kowalik (1926-2012). This paper explains the concept of industrial feudalism and argues that the main mechanism for such a stratification today is the unequal distribution of wealth, in the context of declining welfare provision.

Introduction: Pneumoconiosis is an occupational systemic disease that generally manifests as diffuse pulmonary fibrosis caused by inhalation of long-term silica dust in the production process, silicosis is one of them. Purpose: This article aims to identify the dangers of silica dust exposure to mine workers. Method: This study uses several literature studies through systematic review obtained from 36 reference sources. Some inclusion criteria that have been used are health research or related research articles published in the 2009-2019 range and research articles that contain topics on the identification of hazards of exposure to silica dust to mine workers. Results: Literature review results explain that miners have a high risk of silicosis due to silica exposure. Inhalation of this dust poses a danger because of its high silica crystal content if it settles in the lungs and can cause silicosis. Discussion: Crystal silica has also been classified as a human carcinogen. Silica crystals entering the lungs through three potential exposure pathways are identified namely external irradiation, inhalation of granite dust, and radon exposure. silica dust from granite mining also suggests using a filter mask, because the mask can reduce the amount of dust up to twice as much. Conclusion: In conclusion, occupational exposure to silica dust causes serious lung disease that is silicosis which is irreversible and so far there has been no effective treatment. Effective precautions are needed to reduce the risk factors for silica dust exposure.
