Morphoanatomy, histochemistry and crystals of the underground system of Baccharis notosergila (Asteraceae)
Authors: Carbone Alejandra V , Fernández Federico E , Hernández Marcelo P , Arambarri Ana M 
Published: January 2020

Background and aims: Baccharis notosergila is presented as a productivity-reducing weed in the fields of the Salado river basin, Buenos Aires, Argentina. The aims of this work were: to describe the structure of the underground system, the origin of sprouts, locate the secretory structures and storage substance to understand the adaptation strategies of this species as well as its ability to withstand chemical and mechanical control.
M&M: The collected material was examined with conventional optical microscopy techniques. Histochemical tests to identify secondary metabolites were performed, and crystals were analyzed by a scanning electron microscope.
Results: The subterranean system found was a xylopodium which has high shoot bud-forming potential. Storage substance was found to be inulin. Test for starch was negative. Resins and lipids (oil drops) were identified in ducts of roots; tannins and crystals of calcium oxalate were also found in the xylopodium and roots.
Conclusions: The presence of these characteristics on the underground systems could explain the frequency of this species in the floristic from Salado river basin in which alternate periods of 2 high humidity and drought. The belowground bud bank would be important to B. notosergila survival in this area with extreme climatic factors, and its resistance to mechanical and chemical control. Understanding the anatomical features of these plants is one of the steps to appropriate management of this species in the Salado river basin.

Background: Dextran is a branched polysaccharide and one of the polymers, present in the biofilm matrix. The dextran plays a perilous role in dental plaque formation, which is involved in the development of some common oral diseases like dental caries. The dextran-hydrolyzing enzymes are under investigation to treat and manage the dental plaques.
Aims and Objective: The present study reporting the preliminary observations on the effect of the use of dextranase-containing mouthwash (DMW) on dental plaque and oral health.
Materials and Methods: DMW was prepared with food-grade dextranase, preservatives, gellingagents, and water as detailed. Four weeks of experimental design was employed in fourteen healthy volunteers. The selected volunteers were recommended to use DMW for at least twice a day. The plaque index (PI), probing depth (PD), gingival index (GI) and bleeding on probing (BOP) of the volunteer's teeth have been assessed before and after four weeks of DMW use.
Results:The volunteers were insisted to use a DMW solution twice a day for four weeks. The PI, PD, GI, and BOP was measured before and after the treatment. The plaque index of the subject at baseline and after treatment was 2.22 ± 0.48, and 1.88 ± 0.50, respectively. PI was significantly reduced after the use of DMW solution for four weeks. The value of PD was 2.00 and 2.00 at baseline and after the use of DMW, respectively. The value of PD was not changed when compared to the baseline values. The sensory evaluation of DMW was performed using questionnaires.
Conclusion: The preliminary study results suggested that the use of DMW solution for four weeks (twice a day) notably reduced the PI without any change in PD. However, GI and BOP values were not affected after the use of DMW. The participants, based on the sensory evaluation, accepted the prepared DMW solution. Additional detailed research on the impact of DMW on oral hygiene is needed to confirm the beneficial effects of DMW.

Authors: Song Jianping , Li Peiliang , Tian Yanlong , Zhao Xiaochun , Wang Xiaowen , Zhu Wei 
Published: January 2020

The large intracranial hemangioblastoma is a top surgical challenge due to its nature of invading brain parenchyma, tight adherence to the pia, and rich blood supply from numerous pial vasculatures and arteries in the proximity. If the brainstem is involved in the lesion, the surgery will be more dangerous because of potential brainstem impingement. In this illustrative video, we present a case of a 54-year-old male with a large hemangioblastoma at the mesencephalic-cerebellar region, which was successfully treated by hybrid endovascular embolization and microsurgery via an occipital interhemispheric transtentorial approach with minimal intraoperative blood loss and a favorable outcome.The video can be found here: https://youtu.be/pJqFhY_Zhv0.

Published: January 2020

A 64-year-old man with a midbrain cavernoma and prior bleeding presented with a 1-week history of diplopia, partial left oculomotor nerve palsy, and worsening dysmetria and right-sided weakness. MRI revealed a hemorrhagic left tectal plate and midbrain cavernoma. A left suboccipital supracerebellar transtentorial approach in the sitting position was performed for resection of his lesion utilizing the lateral mesencephalic sulcus safe entry zone. Postoperatively, he developed a partial right oculomotor nerve palsy; imaging depicted complete resection of the cavernoma. He recovered from the right third nerve palsy, weakness, and dysmetria, with significant improvement of his partial left third nerve palsy.The video can be found here: https://youtu.be/ofj8zFWNUGU.
Median suboccipital craniotomy and telovelar approach for posterior pontine cavernous malformations
Authors: Cavalcanti Daniel D. , Filho Paulo Niemeyer 
Published: January 2020

The pons is the preferred location for cavernous malformations in the brainstem. When these lesions do not surface, it is critical to select the optimal safe entry zone to reduce morbidity.1–3 In this video, we demonstrate in a stepwise manner the medial suboccipital craniotomy and the telovelar approach performed in a lateral decubitus position. They were used to successfully resect a pontine cavernous malformation in a centroposterior location in a 19-year-old patient with diplopia, right-sided numbness, and imbalance. The paramedian supracollicular safe entry zone was used once the lesion did not reach the ependymal surface.2,3 Late magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated total resection and the patient was neurologically intact after 3 months of follow-up. The approach is also demonstrated in a cadaveric dissection to better illustrate all steps.The video can be found here: https://youtu.be/ChArkxA8kig.
Microsurgical resection of symptomatic intramedullary cervical spinal cord cavernous malformation
Authors: Dziedzic Tomasz A. , Marchel Andrzej 
Published: January 2020

Intramedullary cavernous malformations account for approximately 5% of all intraspinal lesions. Symptomatic lesions are treated with microsurgical resection. Due to surrounding eloquent spinal neural tissue, surgical removal of these lesions can be technically challenging. Surgical treatment carries a significant risk for postoperative morbidity. This video demonstrates the main steps for the microsurgical technique of resection of a symptomatic intramedullary cervical spinal cord cavernous malformation at the C2–3 level. Complete resection was achieved with minimal posterior column deficit. The operative technique and surgical nuances, including the patient’s positioning, surgical approach, intraspinal cavernous malformation removal, and closure, are illustrated.The video can be found here: https://youtu.be/UKttTiXlEb8.
Pontine cavernous malformation: microsurgery evading the floor of the fourth ventricle
Authors: Keleş Abdullah , Harput Mehmet Volkan , Türe Uğur 
Published: January 2020

This video demonstrates resection of a left pontine cavernous malformation that is abutting the floor of the fourth ventricle (f4V). Even though accessing the lesion through the f4V seems to be reasonable, we used a lateral supracerebellar approach through the middle cerebellar peduncle to preserve especially the abducens and facial nuclei. After total resection the patient was neurologically intact at the 3-month follow-up. Postoperative MRI revealed 3.5-mm pontine tissue between the cavity and f4V that appeared to be absent in preoperative MRI. Approaching pontine lesions through the f4V is not the first choice. In our opinion, the philosophy of safe entry zones is a concept to be reassessed.The video can be found here: https://youtu.be/1Jh6giZc-48.
Fully endoscopic access and resection of hemorrhaged cavernous malformation of the posterior midbrain

Published: January 2020

Cavernous malformations in the midbrain can be accessed via several safe entry zones. The accepted rule of thumb is to enter at the point where the lesion is visible at the surface of the brainstem to pass through as little normal brain tissue as possible. However, in some cases, in order to avoid critical neural structures, this rule may not apply. A different safe entry zone can be chosen. Our video presents a case of a ruptured cavernous malformation in the midbrain reaching its anterior surface which was successfully resected via a posterolateral route using the supracerebellar infratentorial approach.The video can be found here: https://youtu.be/j7VTqRO7qd4.

Published: January 2020

Craniocervical instability due to chronic atlantoaxial dissociation presents the challenge of providing adequate decompression, reduction, and fixation to promote long-term stability while avoiding iatrogenic vertebral artery dissection or entrapment. The authors present one patient with chronic atlantoaxial dissociation and basilar invagination treated via Goel’s technique and with bilateral vertebral artery mobilization. There was substantial decompression and reduction postoperatively and the patient was discharged with a stable examination. Vertebral artery mobilization at the C1–2 junction can be safely performed via a standard midline suboccipital incision and dissection without vertebral artery injury.The video can be found here: https://youtu.be/VS1Mt1dBLO4.

GENDER DYNAMICS IN OSSETIA IN THE XIXth - EARLY XXth CENTURIES
Authors: Gutieva Elvira Shamilevna 
Published: January 2020

The article is devoted to determining the role of women in the traditional Ossetian society. A full-fledged study of many urgent problems of science is impossible without taking into account the gender aspects of various branches of social humanitarian knowledge. The subordinate position of a woman in the family was determined by time, dogmatic customs, and traditions indisputable for her. The transformation of gender consciousness in Ossetia was accompanied by changes in the family and gender norms of the society. New research tasks enable to consider the transformation of gender stereotypes in various ethnocultural environments in diachrony, comparing not only differences due to a particular culture, but also the degree of their changeability over time, the significance of social, political and other factors affecting this process.
The historical gender and division of labor is a cultural solution to the problem of combining technology with the vital needs of the society as a self-organizing system. Representatives of the socio-political thought in Ossetia advocated the development of professional female education, girls education was no longer restricted to useful handicrafts, thus providing the expansion of the female sociocultural space. The development of women's educational institutions and their growing popularity were largely the result of the post-reform modernization of the Ossetian society. The real dynamics of social development led to intensive integration and stimulated educational processes, including the expansion of the female school network. An important factor in the development of female education was the attitude of the Ossetian society to it.
In Ossetia the striving for education became a nationwide movement in which all the sectors of the society participated. The values ​​of education, including women's education, became essential part of the public consciousness of the Ossetians. In particular, the article analyzes the contribution of the first Ossetian woman-playwright Rosa Kochisova and the first Ossetian ballerina Aurora Gazdanova to the development of gender transformations in Ossetia in the XIXth and early XXth centuries.

Published: January 2020

Background: Like other developing countries, in our country major causes of mortality is shifted from communicable to non-communicable diseases. NCD already disproportionately affect low and middle income countries, where nearly three quarters of NCD deaths (28 million) occur annually. Management of the existing NCD and upcoming NCD will be a great challenge for the developing countries like us. Therefore a strategy of prevention of NCD is very important.
Materials and methods: This was a community based prospective interventional study, carried out in Mornea high school and Alef Uddin Sarker high school of Rangpur sadar. In the first phase, from each school 100 students from different classes were selected randomly. Then adult family members of these students were surveyed to see the prevalence of NCD risk factors. In second phase (ongoing) school health education will be given in Mornea high school (randomly chosen) monthly basis for 12 months and the students will share these with their family members. On the other hand the other school’s students will not provide any health education. One of the guardian from each family will chosen for confirmation of the sharing of information of school health education acquired by students over phone after each class. After one year prevalence of NCD risk factors will be surveyed again to know whether there are any significant differences of outcome of school health education.
Results: In this study we have been able to study of 356 adult people of both sexes. From the Mornea high school 197 (55.3%) and Alef Uddin Sarker high school 159 (44.7%). Mean age of the study population was 47.33 years and female was more than male 66.3%. Awareness of NCD was found in only 10.4% of the study population. Overall 96.63% had NCD risk factors, 30.90% had two risk factors and 50.26% had 3 or more risk factors. Overall prevalence of smoking was 36.8%, among them 20.5% were current smoker. 33.1% of the study population used to take smokeless tobacco. Among the survey population only 14.3% used to take vegetables 7 days/week. 32.6% (116) people were physically inactive and 6.7% (24) had sedentary lifestyle. Only 5.3% of the people were obese and 66.57% had central obesity. Prevalence of hypertension and diabetes among the study population was 28.9% and 4.77% respectively. Among the known hypertensive 72.7% (16) used to take antihypertensive drug regularly and blood pressure was controlled in only 27.3%. Among the known diabetic mean duration were 4.12 years and 62.5% (5) of the patients used to take the antidiabetic drug regularly.
Conclusions: In our study, awareness of NCD is very low but high prevalence of NCD risk factors, which are modifiable. So, an appropriate intervention is needed to modify the risk factors and thus prevention of NCDs.

Published: January 2020

Vitamin D, a fat-soluble vitamin, is produced in the skin exposed to the sunlight or provided by dietary intake. In addition to its role in the regulation of calcium and phosphorus metabolism, vitamin D has been correlated with several ailments such as depression, osteoporosis and cancer. Since vitamin D deficiency has been demonstrated to be linked to higher breast cancer risk, importance has been given to study its possible use in the prevention or even treatment of breast cancer. Herein, we review recent publications studying the vitamin D effects and breast cancer. Role of vitamin D as a preventive agent, its involvement in therapies and the effects of vitamin D supplementation are discussed. Accumulative findings support that vitamin D supplementation might reduce breast cancer risk, enhance effectiveness of chemotherapeutics and improve cancer survival.
