Authors: Sulistyo Heru , Rosyada Amrina 
Published: November 2024

Background: Pantaloon hernias are a rare mix of direct and indirect inguinal hernias on the same side, making them clinically challenging. Bladder herniation, which can occur with pantaloon hernias, adds specific diagnostic and treatment challenges. Inguinal hernias account for about 75% of all abdominal wall hernias and mostly affect men. Case: A 57-year-old man came to Saiful Anwar Hospital with a left inguinal lump that had been present for six days. He also experienced abdominal swelling, pain, nausea, and vomiting. The lump had become irreducible for the last two days. A physical exam showed a 13x7 cm mass in the left inguinal area. The patient had signs of an inguinal hernia and reported urinary issues, including a feeling of incomplete emptying and urination. Surgery was done on January 13, 2024, using an open technique. During the procedure, the hernia sac had fluid, trapped ileum, and omentum. A part of the bladder was also found protruding through the Inguinal Triangle of Hasselbach, causing a 1x1 cm defect. The hernia sac was repaired with a 10x15 cm mesh. Conclusion: This case highlights the rarity of pantaloon hernias and emphasizes the importance of prompt diagnosis and intervention. Continued research is essential for advancing clinical outcomes and understanding the complexities associated with this condition
072. Subhepatic Appendicitis in A 23 Year Old Woman: A Rare Case Report
Authors: Kartinasari Apidha , Fauzie Rayhan 
Published: November 2024

Background: Subhepatic appendicitis is a rare condition that occurs in only 0.01% of all acute appendicitis cases. The subhepatic position of the appendix is due to a developmental anomaly resulting from the failure of the caecum to descend during embryonic development. Its symptoms often resemble those of other diseases such as cholecystitis, pyelonephritis, and urolithiasis, which can lead to a delay in diagnosis and treatment. Case: A 23-year-old woman presented with four-day history of pain in the right upper quadrant of her abdomen, fever, anorexia, nausea, and vomiting. Abdominal examination revealed tenderness of all abdominal quadrants, which was more pronounced over the right upper and middle quadrant with positive rebound tenderness. Laboratory tests showed high levels of neutrophilic leukocytosis. Ultrasound imaging revealed an inflamed vermiform appendix in the subhepatic region. A diagnosis of an abnormally located appendix was made, and the patient underwent laparotomy. During exploration, an inflamed appendix was found covered by omentum in the right upper quadrant, and appendectomy was carried out smoothly. The patient was in good clinical condition without any complications. Conclusion: Subhepatic appendicitis presents a significant challenge to clinicians due to its unusual location. Failure to diagnose and manage it promptly can lead to complications such as abscesses, peritonitis, sepsis, and increased morbidity. Midline laparotomy is recommended due to the subhepatic location of the appendix and the possibility of retrocecal, dense adhesion or fibrosis, and perforation, which would make a laparoscopic approach unsafe.
073. Tamoxifen - Associated Hirsutism: An Usual Side Effect in A 52-Year-Old Women with Malignant Neoplasm of Left Breast
Authors: Asri Asri , Abidin Zainal 
Published: November 2024

Background: Hirsutism is a condition characterized by growth of excessive male-pattern (i.e., face, chest, abdomen, lower back, upper arms, and thighs) hair in women. The prevalence of hirsutism has been reported to be between 5% and 15% in women and can be caused by various factors, including the use of medications such as Tamoxifen. The modified Ferriman-Gallwey (mFG) score is the preferred and most widely used method for scoring excess terminal hair in the assessment of hirsutism. This case report aims to explore the relationship between Tamoxifen use and the development of hirsutism, as well as to discuss the potential mechanisms involved. Case: A 52-year-old female patient was diagnosed with a left breast tumor and underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by treatment with Tamoxifen 10 mg daily for six months. After treatment, the patient reported abnormal hair growth on her face, chest, arms, and legs. Conclusion: The use of Tamoxifen may contribute to the development of hirsutism in some patients. It is important to monitor these side effects and consider appropriate management strategies for patients experiencing hirsutism related to treatment.

Authors: Rodrigues Pablo Leal , Galvão Jessivaldo Rodrigues , Maia Bruno Kleidson da Silva , Oliveira Carlos Antônio Marinho Mendonça , Zambrano Maria Isabel Castro , Melo Naiane Franciele Barreira de 
Published: November 2024

Objective: The aim of the research is to address the biological control developed by yeasts in the post-harvest of fruits, based on a brief literature review on the subject.

Theoretical Framework: The use of chemical control mechanisms and biocontrol is based on the increasing need for sustainable agricultural practices that ensure human health and environmental preservation. While synthetic fungicides are effective in combating fungal diseases, their excessive use raises concerns about pathogen resistance and public health risks. In this context, the development of biocontrol agents, such as yeasts, emerges as a viable and ecological alternative, promoting food safety and crop protection with a lower environmental impact.

Method: A narrative literature review was conducted using major scientific databases to collect articles on the biological control of yeasts in the post-harvest of fruits. Key studies were evaluated to measure effectiveness and understand the mechanisms related to the biocontrol action of these yeasts.

Results and Discussion: The predominant chemical control for fungal diseases is being replaced by sustainable alternatives, such as yeast-based biofungicides, which demonstrate effectiveness against pathogens in post-harvest settings. Mechanisms such as killer activity and the production of hydrolytic enzymes stand out in biocontrol. Although promising, further research is needed to deepen the understanding of biocontrol agents and their applications.

Authors: Maciel Elen Raquel Ferreira , Silva Elaine Cristina Alves da , Silva Françóyse Dávilla de Souza , Freitas Narjara Walessa Nogueira de , Pimenta Alexandre Santos , Araujo Poliana Coqueiro Dias 
Published: November 2024

Purpose: The objective of this work aimed to assess the wood vinegar (WV) from the carbonization of Eucalyptus wood in the inhibition in vitro of Fusarium sp., Ganoderma sp., Macrophomina sp., and Sclerotium rolfsii.

Method: WV was added to a culture medium and poured onto Petri dishes. After, the fungi were picked up in 1-mm disks and placed in the center of each Petri dish. The experimental design had five treatments, T1, T2, T3, T4, and T5, with crescent concentrations of WV, respectively, 0 (control), 5, 10, 15, and 20 mL L-1. The variables evaluated were fungal growth, mycelial growth rate index, and percentage of mycelial growth inhibition.

Results and Discussion: A gradual decrease in the mycelial growth, in the mycelial growth rate index, and an increase in the percentage of mycelial growth inhibition were determined for all assessed fungi in the concentration of 20 mL L-1 of WV. Hence, the conclusion was that eucalyptus WV presented fungi-toxic properties over the assessed fungi and the product can be considered as an alternative for the chemical control of the incidence of these pathogens in crops and forest plantations.

Research Implications: The use of natural products with fungi toxic properties is becoming important for the control of pathogens that attack crops and forest plantations due to the harmful effects of the conventional fungicides on living organisms and the environment. The search for efficient alternative products is therefore a goal to be reached in the field of phytopathology.

Originality/ Value: The use of natural products with fungitoxic properties has been gaining ground in the control of pathogens affecting agricultural and forestry crops. This intensifies the search for natural products that are efficient in the biocontrol of phytopathologies.

Megaformer as a Rehabilitation Modality for Hamstring Strain Injury in Division I American Football: A Case Study
Authors: Vassilian Anthony , Noceti-DeWit Lisa , Schroeder E. Todd 
Published: November 2024

BACKGROUND: With athletes striving for peak performance, noncontact muscle strain injuries are increasingly common. Hamstring strain injuries (HSIs) make up the largest portion of noncontact injuries and provide further difficulty because of the high reinjury rate. This case study explores the Megaformer as a modality to treat HSIs with the potential to reduce the return-to-play timetable and recurrence rate. CASE PRESENTATION: A 23-year-old male American football player with a history of hamstring injuries presented with pain in the right proximal hamstring and deficits in strength and mobility testing as a result of sustained hyperflexion of the right hip with full knee extension. Magnetic resonance imaging confirmed a recurrent proximal hamstring strain. OUTCOME AND FOLLOW-UP: Subsequent strength and range-of-motion testing revealed no impactful tenderness or pain during active participation or palpation after 9 days, and complete alleviation of symptoms at 6 weeks. No reinjury occurred during the remaining football season. DISCUSSION: This case study highlights possible advantageous features of the Megaformer as a recovery modality for HSIs. The Megaformer aims to improve flexibility, strengthen primary and secondary muscles, and enhance neuromuscular coordination to attempt to decrease the return-to-play timetable and reduce injury recurrence.

The role of the «Yuletide story» in genre diffusion: Poverty is Not a Vice by A. N. Ostrovsky
Authors: Seifert E. I. 
Published: November 2024

Purpose. The purpose of the study is to consider the role of the Yuletide story in the poetics of A. Ostrovsky’s play Poverty is Not a Vice, the tasks are to identify the Yuletide elements in this play, analyze inserted objects (artistic texts of poems and songs), plot, system of characters, lines, etc.Results. Ostrovsky depicts a tragic situation (an irreconcilable enmity between an older brother and a younger brother who is an alcoholic; a father who gives his daughter to a rich old man without love) and leads it to a comedic outcome. The Christmas miracle has no logic, it happens suddenly – hence the implausibility of Gordey’s forgiveness of the ir-reconcilable «enemy for life» Lyubim. Yuletide elements create a festive atmosphere on stage and in the text of the work, during which good magic is possible.Conclusion. Pride becomes a turning point in the development of intrigue in A. Ostrovsky’s play Poverty is Not a Vice. This play as a comedy is primarily characterized by a positive outcome of intrigue, enhanced by a Yuletide story so confident in genre diffusion. But the miracle here, in the genre-generic diffusion «drama (comedy) – Christmas story», is not the wedding of Mitya and Lyubov Gordeevna, but the reconciliation of Gordey Karpych with his brother Lyubim, the return of the plot of the prodigal son to its original biblical course. Under the influence of the Christmas story, the play, which is close to drama and even tragedy, turns into a comedy.
How the Historiosophy of Bunin’s Mature Works Was Shaped. Researches by Gaston Maspero in Zodiacal Light and Some Other Oeuvres
Authors: Anisimov K. V. 
Published: November 2024

Purpose. Regarding Bunin’s texts’ principal dynamism and the writer’s resistance to the very idea of almost each of his works’ completeness, the author of the article attributes quotations from Maspero’s Ancient History of the Peoples of Orient revealing their alterations from early redactions of Bunin’s The Temple of the Sun to later ones. It is demonstrated how dramatic was the impact of these citations once used in order to form Bunin’s view on Egypt on «non-Egyptian» prosaic works of the 1910s.Results. The first result reached in the course of the analysis is the accurate attribution of obscure fragments as in fact borrowed from Maspero. Secondly, it was shown how Bunin treats his precursor’s text – creating his own associations, reducing and tightening initial passages. Thirdly, the paper demonstrates how descriptions and notions derived from the book of French historian have been transformed in their very nature: diverse facts and notions have become an integral poetic imagination inspirated by scenes of decline of the Ancient World. And finally, the article investigates some traces of Bunin’s «Egyptian text» in his mature prose works – exemplifying short stories The Chalise of Life and The Dust as most representative ones.Conclusion. The author concludes that Bunin’s intertextual poetics was specific in many respects. As it became clear in examples provided in the article, the text borrowed from another writer and «alienated» with inverted commas in fact, in its essence, was completely subordinated by Bunin to his general artistic strategy losing even slight tint of Bakhtinian «someone else’s word».
«A Sublime Look at Horror»: The Function of Ornamental Poetics in V. Zazubrin’s Story Sliver
Authors: Proskurina E. N. 
Published: November 2024

Purpose. The article presents an analysis of V. Zazubrin's story Sliver (1923) from the perspective of ornamental prose on the background of the crumbling purity of literary genres.Results. The focus on the high genre is evidenced by the capital letter of the pronoun in the subtitle of the work: «A Tale of Her and of Her», i. e. about the Revolution and Her again. In contrast to this intention, the apocalyptic imagery of the work presents the revolutionary era in the corridors of a terrifying world. The poetic layer of the text is shaped by the lyrical voice of the protagonist, enhanced by the ornamental richness of the associations. The poignancy of his inner bout, based on the attraction for revolution and repulsion from it, heightens the emotional tension of the entire work.Conclusion. At the level of intertextual dialogue the influence of Blok's poem The Twelve on the poetics of Sliver is palpable. This is evidenced by the characteristic details of the plot: the atmosphere of the night, the street, the wind, the Chekist rampage, which correlates with the rampage of the elements, as well as the mosaicism of images and the intermittent rhythm of the narrative. Accompanying stylistic elements in the story are the poetics of contrasts, the technique of counterpoint, the density of tropes, the hyperbolization of images, which reproduce the dissonant «music» of the red terror.
Spatial Characteristics of Everyday Life in The Tale of a Sister by M. A. Osorgin
Authors: Sukhikh N. M. 
Published: November 2024

Purpose. The article deals with the spatial characteristics of everyday life in The Tale of a Sister by M. A. Osorgin.Results. The analysis of the space of everyday life in the story identified several key locations: the parents’ house, Lisa’s apartment after her marriage, Evgeny Karlovitch’s and Katya’s house. The closet is an important place for little Kostya. That is where the secret of the strong friendship between the protagonist and his elder sister was born. The author’s emphasis on the sound component is noticeable along with the absence of bright colors in the depiction of the everyday space. The ordinariness in the story most often flows silently, and unusual events are described by sound characteristics.Conclusion. The image of everyday space in The Tale of a Sister has characteristic techniques used by the author. These are minimal detailing, lack of bright colors, and an emphasis on sounds, in particular. The minimal detailing might be the specific artistic style of M. A. Osorgin’s story. Despite the limited amount of descriptive details, the author creates a convex and tangible picture of the everyday life at that time, which fits organically into the struc-ture of the story and reflects the peculiarities of the characters’ lives.
Ivan Fyodorov’s Psalter with Book of Hours as a Miscellany: Composition and Sources
Authors: Yudin A. A. , Podoprigora V. V. , Shilova I. A. , Kovalenko A. N. 
Published: November 2024

Purpose. The article studies the features of composition and structure of Ivan Fyodorov’s edition the Psalter with Book of Hours, which is considered as a particular version of the Augmented Psalter miscellany.Results. Authors analyze main components of the edition from the point of view of their correspondence to the manuscript and early printed tradition of the Augmented Psalter of the 15th – 16th centuries and search for their possible sources. The article reveals peculiarities of composition of the texts in the Horologion part and suggests that the miscellany was specially adapted to the needs of parish churches, in which there was no need or possibility to celebrate the daily divine worship prescribed by the Jerusalem Typicon. The article identifies possible sources of the foreword part to the Psalter and concludes that Ivan Fyodorov was guided by the contemporary manuscript tradition of Augmented Psalter, but the selection and composition of the texts are original and do not yet find exact correlations in manuscripts and early printed miscellanies. The article analyses the features of composition of the superscriptions to psalms and their sources that were the commentaries of pseudo-Athanasius of Alexandria and superscriptions probably based on the glosses reflecting the exegesis of Theodoret of Cyrus.Conclusion. The authors conclude that the edition of Psalter with the Book of Hours stands out among its contemporary manuscript and early printed analogues by its original compositions of the foreword part and particular edition of the superscriptions to psalms.
