The Choice to Limit Choice: Using Psychiatric Advance Directives to Manage the Effects of Mental Illness and Support Self-Responsibility
Authors: Sheetz Breanne
Published: September 2024

Psychiatric advance directives are a valuable tool for individuals with mental illnesses. Ulysses directives, in particular, allow individuals to bind themselves to treatment in advance of needing it for the purpose of overcoming illness-induced refusals. This Note evaluates the effectiveness of state advance directive statutes in three areas that are especially important for Ulysses directives: defining competency to execute, activate, and revoke directives; waiving the constitutional right to refuse treatment; and encouraging provider compliance. This Note ultimately advocates for other states to adopt provisions similar to a Washington State statute. The Washington statute authorizes Ulysses directives by allowing advance consent to treatment, establishing a mechanism for overriding refusals, and permitting irrevocability, but it also provides flexibility so that individuals can craft a personalized plan for their needs.
Significant Developments in Veterans Law (2004-2006) and What They Reveal About the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit
Authors: Allen Michael
Published: September 2024

Nearly twenty years ago, Congress for the first time created a system for judicial review of decisions denying veterans benefits. Specifically, Congress created an Article I Court: the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims. Veterans dissatisfied with actions of the Department of Veterans Affairs regarding benefits could appeal to the Veterans Court. The United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit provided appellate oversight of the Veterans Court. There simply is nothing like the Veterans Court elsewhere in American law. Yet, despite its uniqueness, there has been little scholarly attention to this institution.

This Article begins to fill the gap in the literature through a focused consideration of the decisions of the Veterans Court and the Federal Circuit from 2004 to 2006. It has three principal parts. First, it describes the current structure of judicial review in the area and provides a statistical analysis of its operation during the relevant period. Second, the Article explores the substantive development of veterans law from January 2004 through March 2006. Finally, based on that substantive law, the Article draws conclusions about the operations of both the Veterans Court and the Federal Circuit.

Published: September 2024

This research aims to analyze the effect of tortuosity porous heatsink on natural convection heat transfer. Heatsink plays a crucial role in dissipating heat from electronic components, and optimizing heatsink design is essential for effective and efficient thermal management. In this study, heatsink structures including splitP, diamond, gyroid, and pin were created using generative design methods, and the relationship between tortuosity and heatsinks thermal performance was investigated through Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The results show that an increase in tortuosity leads to a significant increase in surface area and pressure drop, with values ranging from 9298.48-12711.93 mm2 and 0.08701-0.09474 Pa, respectively. Additionally, tortuosity also exhibits a strong linear correlation with the Nusselt number, with value R2=0.88. As tortuosity increases, the Nusselt number decreases significantly from 18.04-9.90. In this research, we conclude that tortuosity is an important parameter that affects heatsink performance, and the TPMS structure we developed is a promising heatsink design candidate for thermal management devices. However, a balance needs to be sought between surface area, pressure drop, overall heat transfer, and other parameters such as pore size and interconnectivity to achieve optimal heatsink performance.

Published: September 2024

The aim of the study is to comparatively evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of a phytoextract + probiotic complex in treating dyspeptic disorders in calves. For the experiment, three groups of newborn calves with signs of dyspeptic disorders were formed, 10 animals in each (n = 30). The first experimental group of calves was given a 4 : 1 mixture of St. John's wort extract Hypericum perforatum+probiotic at a dose of 5 ml/kg of live weight twice a day with an interval of 12 hours; the second experimental group was given bird cherry fruit extract Cerasis fructus + probiotic at a dose of 5 ml/kg of live weight twice a day with an interval of 12 hours; the control group of animals was given the probiotic Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain VKPM B-10642 at least 1∙106 CFU of live bacterial spores at a dose of 5 ml/kg once. The obtained data indicate that both of the above-mentioned complexes have a pronounced therapeutic effect: in the first and second experimental groups of animals 90 and 100 %, respectively, in the control group – 70 %. When comparing the blood serum indicators for Na and K, normalization of water-salt metabolism in the body of newborn calves was noted. Thus, in the control group, a decrease in these indicators by 29.2 and 17.1 % was observed compared to the average value of the first and second experimental groups. Using plant extracts of bird cherry and St. John's wort in combination with a probiotic for dyspeptic disorders of newborn calves, livestock farms will be able to reduce economic losses from lost weight gain (by 18.8 %), calf mortality (by 30 %), eliminating the negative impact of chemical drugs on the body of animals, humans and the environment.

Published: September 2024

The aim of the study is to screen active multienzyme systems that hydrolyze polymers of plant mate-rials. Modern wine production technologies are focused on preserving fresh, fruity aromas. For this purpose, grape processing, including its harvesting, is carried out at the lowest possible temperature. Warm must interacts with atmospheric oxygen much more actively, oxidizing and losing freshness. The data on the studied fruit and berry raw materials presented in the paper indicate that along with the enzymes of the pectolytic complex, enzymes of cellulolytic, hemicellulase and proteolytic action should also be used. Pectofoetidin P10X (Asp. Foetidus), Macerobacillin (Bacillus circulans), Pectinex I (Asp. niger), Fructo¬cyme A (Asp. niger) were used as the object of the study as enzymes affecting pectin substances in va¬rious enzyme complexes. To improve the quality of juices and extracts, the method of enzymatic processing was used, and the use of various physical and chemical methods made it possible to reduce the risk of cloudiness and significantly increase the yield of products. Considering the ratio of enzyme activities in enzyme preparations of pectolytic action, it is possible to note the high content of pectinesterase in the preparation Fruktozyme A, polygalacturonase – Pectofoetidin P10x and Pectinex I. It was established that the most effective of the tested pectolytic EPs were preparations in the pectolytic complex of which the enzyme of pectinesterase action predominates and the content of highly active polygalacturonase cellulase enzyme complex (Fruktozyme A, Pectinex) is noted. The least effective was the preparation with the lowest content of pectinesterase (Pectofoetidin). Studies on the use of FP with targeted cellulolytic, xylanolytic, β-glucanase and proteolytic activities showed that the best results in terms of juice yield were provided by the variant where the hydrolysis of the raw material was carried out by a preparation with predominant β-glucanase and xylanase activity.

The objective of the study is to determine the characteristics and advantages of mid-late varieties for sustainable harvesting of food grain in the region based on long-term variety testing. Objectives: to study the economically valuable indicators of spring wheat varieties and to identify the advantages of late-ripening varieties. The object of the study is mid-late ripening spring soft wheat varieties, including the Raduga variety bred by the Kurgan Research Institute of Agriculture. Predecessors are fallow and provo-cative backgrounds: sowing on stubble and late sowing date. Observations and assessments are carried out in accordance with the Methodology of state variety testing. The studies were carried out at the Kurgan Research Institute of Agriculture – a branch of the Ural FRC of the Ural Branch of the RAS. Mid-late varieties, when sown at different times, excluding extremely late ones, showed an advantage in a number of economically valuable traits. The mid-late Raduga variety allows obtaining consistently high indicators in various weather conditions. For the period 2017–2023, with a yield of 1.22–5.53 t/ha, the excess over the Uralosibirskaya standard was 0.24 t/ha, with annual fluctuations from 0.08 to 0.53 t/ha. In arid conditions of 2020–2021 it was 0.15–0.20 t/ha. The variety responds to fertilizers and the use of fungicides. The grain quality met the GOST requirements for valuable wheat or a good filler. The gluten content in the grain, depending on the conditions, ranges from 23 to 37 %, protein – 14.7–15.7 % (2021–2023). Raduga, thanks to its genetically determined resistance to diseases, exceeded the standard in yield in three sowing pe¬riods by an average of 1.27 t/ha during the years of rust epiphytotics, demonstrating a resistance of 1.5 points versus 5 points for the standard.Against the background of mass germination of grain on the root in 2023, the percentage of sprouted grains in Raduga was 14.5 versus 40 % in the Uralosibirskaya standard. It is included in the list of breeding achievements for 7 and 9 regions of Russia.

Authors: Raickaya Valentina
Published: September 2024

The aim of the study is to investigate the therapeutic properties of the drug Afluxid in gastrointestinal diseases of lambs. The paper considers the use of the drug Afluxid developed by OOO Biorost in lambs with gastrointestinal diseases at a dose of 5 g/head. 2 times a day for 3 days, which contributed to the improvement of the morphological composition of their blood, a decrease in diarrheal symptoms, a reduction in the treatment period and an increase in survival (90.0 %). In the young animals of the control group, the disease was severe and longer, and the survival rate was 80%. The content of granulocytes in the blood of lambs in the control and experimental groups was below the physiological norm by 18.4 and 25 %, respectively. At the end of the experiment, the level of granulocytes in the blood of animals of both groups did not reach physiological values. It was possibly caused by a pathological process in the body. When an inflammatory focus is formed, they begin to fight various foreign microorganisms and toxins. The initial amount of hemoglobin in the blood of lambs in the control and experimental groups was lower by 1.5 and 2.3 %, respectively, compared to the reference values. By the end of the experiment, the calcium content in the blood of lambs in the control group did not reach physiological values and amounted to 8.5 mg/%. It depends on the level of calcium in the diet, the state of the hormonal system, gastrointestinal tract, kidneys, liver and other organs. This indicates that there were no infectious or toxic effects on the animals' bodies, that the therapy provided restoration of homeostasis, and is also accompanied by an increase in some indicators in the blood of animals.

Preparing for disease X: A look at the psychological impact of COVID-19 on frontline healthcare workers and responses to reduce their burden
Authors: Ludski Jarryd S.
Published: September 2024

The coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic placed enormous strain on healthcare workers (HCWs) and systems. With over 766 million cases, a high risk of workplace-acquired infection, and a constantly evolving disease trajectory, COVID-19 placed an incredible burden on frontline HCWs. Studies on previous pandemics have highlighted the presence of significant psychological distress in HCWs; yet, mental health remained a secondary consideration in many hospitals’ pandemic responses. This review explores the psychological impact of COVID-19 on frontline HCWs during the early stages of the pandemic and describes responses implemented by health services to reduce it. In addition, it aims to provide a structure for the implementation and evaluation of future evidence-based programs that support the well-being of frontline HCWs helping to prepare for disease X. A narrative review with a systematic approach was completed using the MEDLINE, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, and Cochrane databases. Twenty publications were included in the study. Symptoms of psychological distress were reported in up to 70% of frontline HCWs, with as many as 50% suffering depression, 62% reporting anxiety, and 45% of those who required quarantine experiencing insomnia. Mindfulness training, safe rest areas, mental health practitioners, and pandemic rostering are responses that were implemented across health services during the pandemic. While the impact of COVID-19 has been enormous, its final toll remains unknown. High rates of psychological distress among frontline HCWs mean that the impact will extend far beyond the virus itself. Health services must implement evidence-based resilience strategies to ensure the safety of their frontline staff now and in the future.

Hydrogels derived from the decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) are widely used in 3D bioprinting, mainly because they are recapitulating the native tissue microenvironment and retain key growth factors and cytokines. Hence, they are characterized by adequate biocompatibility for the use in 3D bioprinting. Regarding liver tissue engineering, these particular materials together with liver-derived cell types can serve as appropriate in vitro hepatic models, as well as models for drug efficiency testing and liver metabolism studies. These hydrogels can also be considered as GMP-compliant systems for liver cell and organoid expansion, in contrast to routinely used basal membrane extract products derived from tumorogenic cell lines. Although weak mechanical properties, as well as poor printability are the main hindrances for the direct usage of dECM hydrogels as bionks, various modifications of dECM and of the bioprinting process are applied to overcome these problems. However, there are several complications regarding the scale-up and GLP – compliant manufacturing of these hydrogels. First, the manufacturing standards for dECM hydrogels are not well established. Second, the methods for obtaining these hydrogels are slightly varying and therefore have decreased reproducibility. Third, since these hydrogels are traditionally produced from animal tissue, the animal-to-animal variability, different harvesting conditions and the bioburden reduction need to be thoroughly considered. This review examines the essential properties of decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) hydrogels for biomedical applications, focusing on biocompatibility, mechanical strength, and bioactivity. It discusses production methods, modifications for 3D bioprinting, and highlights case studies of dECM-based liver constructs. Additionally, it addresses challenges in scalability and regulatory hurdles for clinical translation.

Published: September 2024

Urban cultural heritage conservation in China, mainly driven by top-down management, heavily relies on national leadership. However, there is a lack of systematic research investigating residents’ perspectives on the effectiveness of Chinese government conservation strategies. Taking the Guancheng district in Zhengzhou, Henan, China, as a case study, this study employs a mixed-method approach, combining qualitative analysis through semi-structured interviews with 15 participants and quantitative analysis from a survey of 294 respondents. It aims to assess the impact and outreach of the local government conservation strategies. The findings reveal limited public interest and awareness regarding the government’s efforts to conserve Guancheng’s heritage sites. To support these conservation initiatives, this study proposes strategies to foster public participation, ultimately enhancing the effectiveness and sustainability of urban cultural heritage conservation in China. The insights from this case study may serve as a guiding reference for similar initiatives in other cities or districts across the country.

Cet article propose une analyse pluridisciplinaire du personnage du maire dans "La Petite Roque" de Guy de Maupassant, en s'appuyant sur la théorie de l'évasion de Roy Baumeister, ainsi que sur les concepts psychanalytiques de Sigmund Freud et les théories cognitives d'Aaron Beck. Le texte explore comment Renardet, après avoir commis un meurtre, utilise des mécanismes d'évasion tels que le déni, la destruction de la forêt où le crime a eu lieu, et finalement le suicide, pour éviter de confronter la réalité de sa culpabilité. Cette étude montre que l'évasion, bien qu'efficace à court terme pour atténuer l'inconfort psychologique, conduit à une intensification de la détresse et à une impasse psychologique. L'analyse met également en lumière l'importance des facteurs sociaux et culturels de l'époque, qui influencent fortement les choix et les actions de Renardet. Les attentes sociales de respectabilité et la peur du scandale public poussent le personnage à des actes d'évasion de plus en plus extrêmes. En confrontant les théories de Baumeister, Freud et Beck, l'étude révèle la complexité des dynamiques psychologiques à l'œuvre dans le texte de Maupassant. Cette approche interdisciplinaire enrichit la compréhension des comportements déviants et des stratégies d'évitement dans la littérature, tout en soulignant l'importance de considérer à la fois les dimensions psychologiques et sociales pour une analyse complète des personnages littéraires.

A malignant disease that affects the blood's lymphoid and myeloid components is termed as a leukemia. It is a cancer that poses serious problems for individuals, families and the healthcare systems around the world. The study sought to examine how the immunotherapy of adoptive T cells affects the growth of coexistence of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells. The compartmental system of ordinary differential equations and Caputo’s fractional differential sense were developed to analyze the coexistence of CLL and AML in a single patient. The study showed that disease free and endemic equilibrium points were proved to be globally asymptotically stable. Numerical simulations were also performed to support the analyses. The studies showed that the concentration levels of both types of leukemia cells were very high before the introduction of immunotherapy of the adoptive T cells.

Electronic mentoring, also known as e-mentoring, is the practice of using digital technology to facilitate mentoring relationships. It has been increasingly popular in recent times. However, there has been no comprehensive analysis of the effectiveness of e-mentoring in addressing youth health issues. The present study conducts a systematic review and evidence quality assessment to analyse the impact of e-mentoring on the health and well-being of youth aged 10-24 years. Out of the 833 records that were found, only 14 matched the eligibility criteria. These criteria included being published in English since 1995, targeting adolescent health and/or youth with health difficulties, and having communication that was fully digital or integrated with in-person engagement. The findings indicated that most studies on health-focused e-mentoring mostly focused on young individuals with pre-existing health concerns, rather than exploring the application of e-mentoring to enhance general health and well-being. The programs provided mostly focused on implementing mentoring for specific groups of young people who may face difficulties with traditional face-to-face models. The quality assessments of the studies included in the analysis indicated that the strength of the evidence is of moderate quality. The results indicate that e-mentoring can reach young individuals with specific health issues and encourage them to independently manage their health conditions as they transition into adulthood. Nevertheless, it is necessary to conduct more thorough evaluations of e-mentoring programs with bigger groups of participants.
