Aim. To study the factors influencing outcomes in patients with pulmonary embolism (PE) and recent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).Material and methods. This retrospective observational study was conducted involving patients hospitalized in the emergency cardiology department from January 2020 to December 2021. Two groups of patients were analyzed depending on the presence of recent (up to 3 months) COVID-19.Results. A total of 113 patients hospitalized with PE met the inclusion criteria. Of these, 44 and 69 patients were with and without recent COVID-19, respectively. Mortality rate in the early period of the 2020-2021 pandemic was 23,5% and 7,5% in the group with and without recent COVID-19, respectively, p=0,023 (χ2=5,19). Patients with recent COVID-19 more often had peripheral pulmonary artery thrombosis, less often classic signs of PE. Patients with a fatal outcome more often had type 2 diabetes, higher blood troponin levels, estimated risk score values, lower mean platelet values, glomerular filtration rate, had worse hemodynamic parameters at the time of hospitalization, higher pulmonary artery pressure according to echocardiography. Among all the factors, the following had the greatest adverse effect: low systolic and diastolic blood pressure at the time of hospitalization, decreased glomerular filtration rate, high sPESI score risk.Conclusion. Even taking into account the pandemic end, it is important to study the factors influencing the PE course in COVID-19. This may be important when assessing long-term complications. Patients with PE and recent COVID-19 have distinctive clinical features and a tendency to higher mortality in the early pandemic period. Mortality is higher in the presence of both factors due to the severity of the previous infection and previously studied factors determining the unfavorable prognosis of PE.
On the «Religion» of Morality: Reflections on the Normative Nature of Divine Law in the Concept of John Austin
Authors: Ivanov A. E. 
Published: October 2024

Philosophical and legal thought knows a number of theoretical concepts devoted to a grandiose and organic ethical and legal synthesis — the supreme unity of ethics and jurisprudence or reasoning about what is essential for law, supplemented by reasoning about what law should be. The joint task of these disciplines is to find and theoretically describe the best criteria available to the human mind for evaluating human actions. This principle of practical reasonableness, despite its incompleteness and relativity (for everything derived from man bears the signature of its own creator), would serve as a possible foundation stone for humanity in determining and understanding the highest criterion for evaluating proper behavior that only exists in the world. These are divine laws and prescriptions of their norms, this highest link in any normative hierarchy. It is the divine mind, and not the mind of mortal beings, that is the true source of any duties, from the appeal to the content of which it is possible, resorting to a suitable ethical interpretation, to «deduce» (not directly, but from the «image» that the specified content acquired through human mental activity) all other forms of obligation in one or another normative system. A striking example of such a «normative» concept turns out to be the teaching of J. Austin, devoted, if we put aside the positivist or «command» theory of the author, to the basic principles of the relationship between law (including morality) and the laws of God, ultimately to the sphere of human moral forces and freedom.

A condutividade elétrica massal é um teste que permite avaliar diferenças de vigor em lotes de sementes, por meio do nível de deterioração que as sementes se encontram. O objetivo deste trabalho foi determinar a viabilidade de lotes de sementes de trigo-mourisco por meio do teste de condutividade elétrica massal, bem como ajustar a metodologia do teste para obter uma avaliação rápida e precisa da viabilidade dos lotes de sementes. Foram utilizados sete lotes de sementes de trigo-mourisco, caracterizados quanto ao grau de umidade, contagem de germinação aos 5 e 7 dias após a semeadura, comprimentos de raiz e parte área e massa seca de raiz e parte aérea. A condutividade elétrica foi avaliada sob diferentes quantidades de sementes (25 e 50), volumes de água (25, 50 e 75 mL) e períodos de embebição (1, 2, 4, 6, 8 e 24 h), nas temperaturas de 25 e 30 ºC. O delineamento experimental foi inteiramente casualizado em parcelas subdivididas com quatro repetições. Concluiu-se que a condutividade elétrica massal foi eficiente na discriminação de classes de vigor em lotes de sementes de trigo-mourisco. Em curtos períodos de avaliação de 1 a 2 h, já podem ser evidenciados a separação dos lotes que possuem mais alto vigor. Recomenda-se a utilização de 25 sementes em 50 mL de água na temperatura de 30 ºC para o teste de condutividade elétrica massal de sementes de trigo-mourisco.

Abstract
Mass electrical conductivity is a test that allows evaluating differences in vigor in batches of seeds, through the level of deterioration that the seeds are found. The objective of this work was to determine the viability of buckwheat seed batches through mass electrical conductivity testing, as well as adjust the test methodology to obtain a quick and accurate assessment of the viability of seed batches. Seven batches of buckwheat seeds were used, characterized by moisture level tests, germination count at 5 and 7 days after sowing (DAS), root and aerial part lengths and root and aerial part dry mass. Electrical conductivity was evaluated under different quantities of seeds (25 and 50), volumes of water (25, 50 and 75 mL) and imbibition periods (1, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 24 h), at temperatures of 25 and 30 ºC. The experimental design was completely randomized in split plots with four replications. It was concluded that mass electrical conductivity was efficient in discriminating vigor classes in batches of buckwheat seeds. In short evaluation periods of 1 to 2 hours, the separation of the batches that have the highest vigor can already be seen. It is recommended to use 25 seeds in 50 mL of water at a temperature of 30 ºC to test the mass electrical conductivity of buckwheat seeds.

Authors: Rocha Tiago Mateus , Ferrazza Felipe Leandro Felipim , Nunes Ubirajara Russi , Muniz Marlove Fatima Brião 
Published: October 2024

The exogenous application of salicylic acid has been used as a technique to minimize the harmful effects of salts on plants and improve the physiological quality of seeds. Thus, the objective of the research was to evaluate the effect of different concentrations of salicylic acid on the physiological and sanitary quality of corn seeds. The work was continuous in a completely randomized design, using the hybrid B2315PWU. The treatments were: Treatment 1 (Control), Treatment 2 (500 uM), Treatment 3 (1000 uM), Treatment 4 (1500 uM) and Treatment 5 (2000 uM). The following assessments were carried out: Cold test; first count; germination; seedling length (aerial and root parts); dry mass of seedlings and health test. Salicylic acid did not influence the first count (vigor), germination and cold test. Dry mass increased linearly with increasing salicylic acid concentration. At concentrations up to 1000 uM there was an increase in the aerial and root length of the seedlings. From control to a concentration of 1000 uM, salicylic acid contributes to the incidence of fungi in corn seeds. Physiological variables have a negative relationship with sanitary variables, that is, as the expression of the physiological quality of sensations improved, the incidence of fungi in the seed decreased.

Resumo
A aplicação exógena de ácido salicílico vem sendo utilizada como uma técnica para minimizar os efeitos deletérios dos sais sobre as plantas e como um propulsor da qualidade fisiológica de sementes. Assim, o objetivo da pesquisa foi avaliar o efeito de diferentes concentrações de ácido salicílico na qualidade fisiológica e sanitária de sementes de milho. O trabalho foi conduzido em delineamento inteiramente casualizado, utilizando o híbrido B2315PWU. Os tratamentos foram: Tratamento 1 (Testemunha), Tratamento 2 (500 uM), Tratamento 3 (1000 uM), Tratamento 4 (1500 uM) e Tratamento 5 (2000 uM). Foram realizadas as avaliações: Teste de frio; primeira Contagem; germinação; comprimento de plântulas (parte aérea e radicular); massa seca de plântulas e teste de sanidade. O ácido salicílico não influenciou na primeira contagem (vigor), germinação e teste de frio. A massa seca aumentou linearmente com o aumento da concentração de ácido salicílico. Nas concentrações até 1000 uM houve aumento do comprimento aéreo e radicular de plântulas. Da testemunha até a concentração de 1000 uM o ácido salicílico diminuiu a incidência de fungos em sementes de milho. As variáveis ​​fisiológicas têm relação negativa com as sanitárias, ou seja, à medida que melhora a expressão da qualidade fisiológica das sementes diminui-se a incidência de fungos na semente.

Published: October 2024

Background: Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) are associated with a higher risk of morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. We aimed to investigate the effect of preoperative interventions on PPCs and length of intensive care unit and hospital stay in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted on randomized or quasi-randomized trials by searching PubMed, Medline, ISI Web of Science, Science Direct, Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro), and the Cochrane Library for all available years until December 2023. Our primary outcomes were PPCs including atelectasis and Pneumonia and secondary outcomes were length of intensive care unit and hospital stay.
Results: Twenty-one included trials provide data on 2895 participants. The preoperative intervention of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) significantly reduced the PPCs including atelectasis (OR: 0.49, 95%CI: 0.28, 0.86) and Pneumonia (OR: 0.41, 95%CI: 0.25, 0.67) in cardiac patients compared with the control group. Preoperative exercise training intervention is significantly associated with a lower risk (OR: 0.15, 95%CI: 0.06, 0.38) of composite PPCs (i.e. atelectasis and Pneumonia) in the intervention group. Preoperative IMT significantly reduced the postoperative hospital stay by -1.57 days (95% CI: -2.33, -0.81) in the intervention group. Preoperative exercise training significantly decreased the postoperative intensive care unit stay by -2.22 hours (95% CI: -3.05, -1.38) and hospital stay by -1.82 days (95% CI: -3.38, -0.27) in the intervention group.
Conclusion: Preoperative intervention of IMT and exercise training significantly reduce PPCs and hospital stay in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

Published: October 2024

Background: Premarital screening programs, implemented globally since the 1970s, aim to improve reproductive health outcomes by identifying potential genetic and infectious risks before marriage. Specific Background: In July 2013, the Thi-Qar Governorate in Iraq introduced a premarital screening program to enhance health outcomes for pregnant women and their offspring. However, regional data on the efficacy and impact of such programs remain limited. Knowledge Gap: The prevalence and distribution of blood disorders and infectious diseases among couples in this region, and their implications for public health, have not been extensively documented. Aims: This study evaluates the pathophysiological status of couples undergoing premarital screening in Nasiriyah, Iraq, focusing on the prevalence of blood disorders and infectious diseases. Results: Data from 14,190 individuals (7095 couples) collected from January to December 2023 revealed significant health concerns: 34.40% had hemoglobin levels below 12 gm/dl, and notable percentages carried thalassemia and sickle cell anemia genes. Gender-specific analysis showed that all males tested positive for HIV, while significant proportions of females tested positive for HCV and T. palladium. No significant differences were found in the ABO blood system. Novelty: This study provides comprehensive, region-specific data on premarital screening outcomes in Iraq, highlighting significant disparities in disease prevalence between sexes and compared to other regions. Implications: The findings underscore the importance of enhancing premarital screening programs and integrating educational and preventive measures. Future research should include longitudinal studies to assess the long-term impact of these screenings and explore the benefits of incorporating genetic counseling to further mitigate hereditary and infectious risks.
Highlights:

High prevalence of blood disorders and infections in couples.
Gender differences: all males positive for HIV, significant female infections.
Need for improved education and prevention measures.

Moderate Knowledge and Attitudes Toward Vitiligo Among University Students in Iraq
Authors: Awad Kadhim Jawad 
Published: October 2024

Background: Vitiligo is a depigmenting skin condition characterized by the selective loss of melanocytes, leading to amelanotic, nonscaly, chalky-white macules with distinct borders. Despite its prevalence, public knowledge and attitudes toward vitiligo remain under-researched, particularly in educational settings. Knowledge Gap: There is limited research assessing the understanding and attitudes of university students toward vitiligo, particularly in Middle Eastern regions. Aims: This study aims to evaluate the knowledge and attitudes of students at Basrah University’s Bab Al-Zubair complex regarding vitiligo, using a cross-sectional descriptive design. Methodology: A random sample of 300 male and female students participated, responding to a closed-ended questionnaire created from a review of relevant literature. The survey, administered in Arabic, consisted of three parts: sociodemographic characteristics, 16 questions on knowledge, and 7 questions on attitudes toward vitiligo. A three-point Likert scale was used to evaluate responses. Results: The majority of participants demonstrated moderate knowledge of vitiligo, with similar findings in their attitudes, as assessed using an arithmetic mean. Expert validation of the questionnaire ensured the clarity and relevance of its content. Novelty: This study provides the first comprehensive evaluation of university students’ knowledge and attitudes toward vitiligo in Basrah, filling a significant gap in dermatological health education research in the region. Implications: Raising public awareness about vitiligo is crucial to improving the psychological well-being, social integration, and self-esteem of those affected by the condition. These findings highlight the need for educational interventions that can foster better understanding and reduce stigma surrounding vitiligo, particularly in academic settings.
Highlights:

Students showed moderate knowledge and attitudes toward vitiligo.
Validated questionnaire assessed understanding and perceptions.
Awareness crucial for social and psychological support of vitiligo sufferers.

Prevalence of a Subtype in Iraqi Donations of National Blood Transfusion Center
Authors: Wahid Yaqoob A. , Shanyoor Esraa K , Naji Eman N. , Abduljabar Marwah A 
Published: October 2024

General Background: The ABO blood group system is essential in blood transfusion, with subtypes of A and B groups influencing clinical outcomes. Specific Background: Subtypes A1 and A2 differ in the amount of antigen on red blood cells, impacting blood typing accuracy. Knowledge Gap: The prevalence of A2 and A2B subtypes in Iraqi donors remains underexplored, and their detection in routine screening can be challenging. Aims: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of A2 and A2B subtypes among Iraqi blood donors and evaluate the necessity of Anti-A1 reagent in accurate subtype identification. Results: In 2022, type O blood donors were the most prevalent, followed by B, A, and AB. A routine screening identified 0% A2 and 0.7% A2B subtypes, but 5% and 14.2% were A2B. Novelty: This study highlights the limitations of routine serological testing in detecting A subtypes, demonstrating that the use of Anti-A1 reagent significantly improves accuracy. Implications: Given the low rate of discrepancy between forward and reverse grouping, the Anti-A1 reagent should be routinely used for detecting A subtypes in clinical settings. Additionally, molecular techniques may be required to distinguish between rarer A subtypes such as A3, Ax, and Am.
Highlights:

ABO subtypes A1 and A2 are vital for precise blood transfusion typing.
Routine tests miss A2; Anti-A1 reagent ensures accurate subtype detection.
Molecular techniques help identify rarer subtypes like A3 and Ax.

Keywords: ABO system, blood subtypes, Iraqi donors, Anti-A1 reagent, blood typing
