Authors: Mokoena-de Beer Andile G. , Mahlangu Sister V. , Makhavhu Eugene M. 
Published: December 2024

Background: HIV is a major public health issue in South Africa, with around 7.7 million people living with the virus by 2023, including 4.9 million women. In 2022, 257 171 pregnant women received antiretroviral therapy to prevent mother-to-child transmission.Objectives: To explore and describe the interpersonal relationships of pregnant women following HIV diagnosis in the Thembisile Hani Municipality, South Africa.Method: An exploratory descriptive qualitative design was used. Twenty (20) women aged 18–35 years, who were diagnosed with HIV during pregnancy, were purposively selected from a local clinic in Thembisile Hani Municipality. Data were collected through unstructured face-to-face interviews and analysed using thematic analysis.Results: Two themes emerged from the analysis; namely: (1) altered relationships with loved ones and (2) the role of psychosocial support to improve interpersonal relationships. These results indicate that being diagnosed with HIV during pregnancy has a negative impact on the interpersonal relationships of women.Conclusion: HIV diagnosis during pregnancy affects relationships, necessitating psychosocial support services such as counselling and support groups to improve well-being and relationship quality in pregnant women.
Metabolic Score for Insulin Resistance (METS-IR) Associations with Subclinical Left Ventricular and Left Atrial Remodelling in Young Subjects with Hypertension
Authors: Ezhova Nadezhda E. , Shavarova Elena K. , Kobalava Zhanna D. , Bazdyreva Elena I. , Shavarov Andrey A. 
Published: December 2024

Abstract

Background:
Insulin resistance (IR) is associated with left ventricular (LV) remodeling and eventually leads to cardiovascular events. Recently elaborated metabolic score for IR (METS-IR) is one of noninsulin-based scores for insulin sensitivity estimation. In previous studies, METS-IR was predictive for incident type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and arterial stiffness. Associations of METS-IR with subclinical myocardial damage were discussed in a few works.

Objective:
The objective of the study was to investigate relationship between IR estimated with METS-IR and early heart remodeling in young patients with hypertension.

Methods:
We included 96 hypertensive subjects free of diabetes mellitus aged 18–45 years in prospective cross-sectional study. In each patient, we estimated IR with homeostasis model assessment-estimated IR (HOMA-IR) and METS-IR scores, performed ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and echocardiography including 2D speckle-tracking.

Results:
Patients with the highest METS-IR quartile had significantly higher left ventricular mass index (LVMI) and differed from patients with lower METS-IR score in some of the diastolic function characteristics but not in LV global longitudinal strain. METS-IR had stronger correlation with most of the echocardiographic features of abnormal LV geometry and function, including LVMI, relative wall thickness, e’, E/e’, tricuspid regurgitation velocity, left atrial (LA) volume index, and LV global longitudinal strain, than HOMA-IR. In multiple regression analysis METS-IR was independently associated with LVMI (B = 0.80 [0.37; 1.22], P < 0.0001) and LA reservoir stain (LARs) (B = −0.40 (−0.57; −0.23), P < 0.0001).

Conclusion:
Noninsulin-based index of IR METS-IR is independently associated with LV and LA remodeling in young subjects with hypertension.
Prognostic Value of Acute Kidney Injury in Patients Hospitalized with Acute Decompensation of Chronic Heart Failure

Published: December 2024

Abstract

Background:
Acute decompensation of chronic heart failure (ADHF) is frequently complicated by acute kidney injury (AKI), which worsens prognosis and increases the risk of adverse outcomes. Understanding the impact of AKI on combined renal and cardiovascular outcomes in ADHF patients remains critical for improving long-term management strategies.

Objective:
The objective of this study was To evaluate the prognostic value of acute kidney injury in patients hospitalized with acute decompensation of chronic heart failure (ADHF) in relation to combined renal and cardiovascular outcomes during 1 year of follow-up.

Methods:
One hundred and eight patients hospitalized with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (mean age 68.3 ± 10.0 years, 60% men) were included in a single-center prospective study. All patients included in the study underwent a standard physical and laboratory instrumental examination, including an assessment of the clinical condition on the SHOCS scale, determination of serum creatinine levels, glomerular filtrate rate (GFR) according to the chronic kidney disease-epidemiology formula, albumin-to-creatinine ratio in urine, and NTproBNP upon admission and discharge. The diagnosis of acute kidney injury (AKI) was established on the basis of generally accepted criteria. The total rate of total mortality and repeated hospitalizations from all causes was estimated as cardiovascular outcomes. Renal outcomes included deterioration of renal function in the form of a decrease in GFR >15% of baseline and a decrease in GFR <30 mL/min/1.73 kg2. Combined renal and cardiovascular outcomes were assessed during outpatient visits 3, 6, and 12 months after discharge.

Results:
The incidence of AKI during hospitalization in patients with CHF was 14% (n = 15). The groups with and without AKI were comparable in terms of clinical and demographic parameters and clinical assessment scale parameters. However, patients in the AKI group were characterized by higher baseline values of NT-proBNP and more pronounced impaired renal function, which persisted for 6–12 months of follow-up. There were no significant differences in the patient’s clinical condition and the level of NT-proBNP during 1 year of follow-up. In patients with ADHF, the presence of AKI during hospitalization leads to a significant increase in the risk of combined renal and cardiovascular outcomes during 1 year of follow-up (heart rate = 7.6; 95% confidence interval = 2–29; P = 0.003).

Conclusion:
The development of AKI during hospitalization in patients with ADHD is a predictor of an unfavorable prognosis for combined renal and cardiovascular outcomes during 1 year of follow-up.
A comprehensive review of medicinal plants of Northeast India used in urolithiasis
Authors: Mahawar Sachin , Arya Atul , Singh Harsha , Kumar Suresh 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Urolithiasis is a prevalent urinary disorder developed by the formation of calculi or stones in the excretory system with a high recurrence and morbidity rate. Urolithiasis is associated with changes in the physiochemical properties of the urine, along with the aggregation and nucleation of various stone-forming substances that contribute to stone formation, such as calcium, phosphate, and oxalate. Recent advancements in the medical sector have led to the use of allopathic medicines and interventional therapies, but these often come with high costs and may not consistently yield satisfactory outcomes. In contrast, conventional treatments are easily accessible, cost-effective, and lower the recurrence rate of stone-forming substances. Northeast India (NEI) is renowned for its abundant biodiversity of medicinal herbs used in herbal remedies by tribal and local people to address these stone-related issues. This review aims to analyze the data on 101 plants from 50 families obtained from various online databases. Among them, Rutaceae and Fabaceae families represent the highest number of plants used by the indigenous people of NEI, and Manipur (39) uses the highest number of plants against urolithiasis. Leaves (39) are the most commonly used plant part, and decoctions and juices are the most common modes of administration, taken orally. However, overexploitation, destruction, and various anthropogenic and natural calamities have resulted in the rapid vanishing of these resources and traditional knowledge. Therefore, their conservation is our first duty to protect these resources and save this indigenous knowledge for better mankind.
Bilinear Kloosterman sums in function fields and the distribution of irreducible polynomials
Authors: Bagshaw Christian 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Inspired by the work of Bourgain and Garaev (2013), we provide new bounds for certain weighted bilinear Kloosterman sums in polynomial rings over a finite field. As an application, we build upon and extend some results of Sawin and Shusterman (2022). These results include bounds for exponential sums weighted by the Möbius function and a level of distribution for irreducible polynomials beyond 1/2, with arbitrary composite modulus. Additionally, we can do better when averaging over the modulus, to give an analogue of the Bombieri-Vinogradov Theorem with a level of distribution even further beyond 1/2.
Looking for Ancient Metalworking Sites of Luristan (Western Iran): a Preliminary Archaeometallurgical Approach
Authors: Hashemi Zahra , Nezafati Nima , Demant Daniel 
Published: December 2024

The region of Luristan in the Zagros Mountains (western Iran) is known worldwide for its skilled and enigmatic ancient metal production, in particular its “Luristan Bronzes” dated to the Bronze and Iron Ages. At the crossroads between the IInd and Ist millennia BC, in parallel with tradition of elaborate bronze production, Luristan also saw the arrival of iron. Bimetallic bronze iron artefacts and technically well-developed iron mask swords are among very notable iron products of Luristan metalworkers and are potentially among the oldest iron artefacts known from Iran. Despite this situation, technical aspects of iron metallurgy are almost unknown in Luristan. Field investigations are rare, archaeological production contexts are unknown, and little attention has been paid to iron metalworking. This article, as an initial step in this field, will address the results of a recent short archaeometallurgical survey in Luristan which lead to the discovery of five slag heaps. The physicochemical analyses and microscopic observations, which were carried out at the Departments of Mining Archaeology and Archaeometallurgy of the German Mining Museum, Bochum (DBM), Germany, indicated that we have identified several ironworking workshops: mostly smelting together with some vestiges of smithing activities. In addition, geochemical and isotopic analyses attested that the ores probably came from geochemically similar deposits in the wider region.
From them to us: How developmental trauma is significant in the life of children in asylums
Authors: Vigh Noémi 
Published: December 2024

This study aims to enhance understanding of the trauma backgrounds of children in asylums and to offer possibilities for healing. Studying chronic or developmental trauma is a relatively new and growing field of psychology which offers important changes of perspective and possibilities of treatment. It is a valuable theoretical framework in the urgent global issue of refugees and asylum seekers. The concept explains how the inside scars of fleeing one’s home or of other harmful events, often determines children’s future. These scaring events can occur in these children’s home country, or during their trip, but even in the countries where they arrive, where we are in a way responsible for them. Beyond the moral obligation to help these vulnerable children, I argue that in the long term, it is in our best interests to offer them help by professionals trained in trauma consciousness in all the institutions or system where they are handled. Education systems for instance could be key to the acculturalisation and integration process. Schools provide the basis for the right to education, structure, and community to provide knowledge and healing through relationships for the benefit of future generations. Raising consciousness and leaving hostile attitudes and rhetoric behind can be beneficial to newcomers but also to natives. I argue that we should replace the concept of differentiating, and talking about several isolated groups like natives, refugees, migrants etc. and begin to accept that in the perspective of the future, we are parts of the same “group” as a society.
The Voyageur François in Hungary
Authors: Le Mao Caroline 
Published: December 2024

In the forty-two volumes of Voyageur François, ou la Connaissance de l’Ancien et du Nouveau Monde (1765–1795), Abbé Delaporte devoted a few pages to Hungary. Through fictitious letters, the polygrapher produced a compilation that provides a glimpse of what a French nobleman wishing to discover Hungary might know. This is what we propose to analyse, by considering his historical approach, which reveals his biases, by examining the picture he paints of Hungary’s towns and countryside, and then by focusing on his presentation of Hungarian customs (peoples, languages, religion, etc.).

Published: December 2024

Objective: The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of a crack on the elastic behavior of a rotor, for the early detection of the problem.

Theoretical Framework: The theory of numerical methods and the theory of finite elements are applied to establish the range of revolutions per minute that will imply rotor resonance.
Method: The methodology adopted for this investigation includes the virtual generation of the rotor, simply supported at its ends and with a concentrated load at the center, whose triangular diagonal chordal crack with variable inclination is caused by an isosceles triangle with constant height and width. Their deflections are calculated for different inclinations and orientations of the crack.

Results and Discussion: The results obtained revealed variable shifts of the cross section with maximum deformation, with respect to the central cross section of the rotor, depending on the inclination and orientation of the crack. The results can be used to predict at an early stage the possibility of the birth and growth of a crack, as well as to prevent the subsequent fracture of the rotor.

Research Implications: The results can be applied to the detection of cracks in a predictive or preventive stage, reducing or eliminating the corrective stage, avoiding thermal and noise pollution, increasing the safety of operators, avoiding damage to the infrastructure of companies and therefore to their economy.

Originality/Value: This study contributes to literature by increasing the depth and extent of knowledge on cracked rotors and possible alternative solutions.
