Purpose: To investigate the effect of mecobalamin dispersible tablets and surgical treatment on nerve conduction velocity and skin sympathetic reflex in patients with cervical spondylotic radiculopathy (CSR).
Methods: 82 patients diagnosed with CSR between February 2019 and January 2022 in Inner Mongolia Medical University School of Basic Medicine, Hohhot City, China were randomized into control and study groups comprising 41 patients each. The control group was treated with anterior cervical diskectomy and fusion, while the study group was treated with mecobalamin dispersible tablets in addition to surgery. Efficacy was assessed 3 months after surgery.
Results: Efficacy in the study group was significantly higher than in the control group (p < 0.05). Furthermore, the study group had significantly greater motor and sensory nerve conduction velocity of the median and ulnar nerve as well as reduced initial wave latency (p < 0.05). Scores of subjective symptoms, clinical signs, and life-work-social adaptability were significantly higher in the study group than in the control group (p < 0.05). Range of motion of the neck significantly improved and brainderived neurotrophic factor and glial neurotrophic factor were significantly increased in the study group compared to control group (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: Mecobalamin dispersible tablets in combination with surgery improve nerve conduction velocity, skin sympathetic reflex function, neurotrophic factor level, cervical motion, and cervical spine function in patients with CSR. Multicenter long-term controlled studies with larger sample sizes are required in future studies.

Loads and virulence of bacterial isolates associated with finfish, Caranx hullianus, from the estuarine water of Okwanobolo River in Eastern Obolo, Niger Delta, Nigeria was investigated. The total heterotrophic bacterial count (THBC), total coliform count (TCC), faecal coliform count (FCC), Salmonella-Shigella count (SSC), and Vibrio count (VC) of flesh, gills, and intestines of the fish samples were determined using standard bacteriological methods. Virulence factors of the selected bacterial isolates were also determined using microbiological techniques. The THBC and TCC of the flesh recorded mean log count of 5.12 CFU/g and 4.11 CFU/g respectively while FCC, SSC, and VC were not detected. The intestines had the highest bacterial counts while the flesh had the least. The THBC, TCC, FCC and SSC of the gills recorded mean values of 5.48 log CFU/g, 4.31 log CFU/g, 1.67 log CFU/g, and 1.82 log CFU/g respectively with no VC detected. The THBC, TCC, FCC and SSC of the intestines recorded mean value of 5.61 log CFU/g, 4.42 log CFU/g, 4.31 log CFU/g, and 2.62 log CFU/g respectively with no VC detected. The analysis of variance revealed significant differences among the physiological groups in the flesh (p = 1.36E 32 <0.05); gills (p = 7.18E-06 <0.05) and intestine (p = 1.67E-10 <0.05). Of the eight bacterial species associated with the samples, Proteus sp. and Staphylococcus aureus were common in all the fish tissues. However, Escherichia coli, Streptococcus sp., Bacillus subtilis, Klebsiella sp., Salmonella sp. and Shigella sp. were isolated only from the fish gills and intestines. These isolates exhibited varying virulence potentials concerning DNase, Gelatinase, Lipase, Coagulase, and Urease markers. Staphylococcus aureus recorded the highest occurrence (100%) for all the virulence markers while Escherichia coli, Klebsiella sp. and Shigella sp. recorded the least occurrence (20%). Finfish from the estuarine environment habour potentially pathogenic microorganisms.
«I Hope for a Successful Implementation of Your Path in Science»: An Unpublished Letter by Vladimir N. Toporov to Dmitry I. Makarov

Published: September 2024

В. Н. Топоров (1928–2005) в своем труде «Святость и святые в русской духовной культуре» (1995–1998) оставил немало ценных наблюдений, замечаний и соображений о природе святости, не противоречащих данным и паламитской традиции. Ученый считал, что св. Сергий Радонежский знал о богословии св. Григория Паламы. В этом контексте публикуется письмо Топорова начинающему византинисту-паламоведу Д. И. Макарову от 2001 г., представляющее интерес для оценки состояния российской гуманитарной среды в конце ХХ — начале XXI вв.
Vladimir N. Toporov (1928–2005) in his Sanctity and the Saints in the Russian Spiritual Culture (1995–1998) has left us a lot of worthwhile observations, remarks, and considerations concerning the nature of sanctity (or holiness) which, among other things, do not contradict to the Palamite tradition. In Toporov’s mind, St. Sergius of Radonezh had known the theology of St. Gregory Palamas. In this context we publish Toporov’s 2001 letter to a beginning Palamite scholar Dmitry I. Makarov, which is of interest for a general appraisal of the conditions under which the Russian humanitarian milieu was working at the turn of the 21st century.

The Efficacy and Benefits of Yoga in Hematological Malignancies: A Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials
Authors: Giridharan S , Bhana Rajanee 
Published: September 2024

Introduction: Hematological malignancies, such as leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma, contribute significantly to global cancer morbidity and mortality. Patients often face high chemotherapy toxicity and significant physical and psychological symptoms. The use of yoga as a supportive care intervention has shown promise in alleviating these side effects and enhancing patients’ quality of life (QOL). Methods: Following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, a comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library using specific keywords related to yoga and hematological malignancies. Studies from 2000 to 2023 that investigated the effects of yoga on physical or mental health outcomes in patients with hematological malignancies were included. Data extraction and synthesis were performed by two reviewers, focusing on study design, sample size, intervention details, outcome measures, and critical findings. The quality of studies was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool. Results: The search yielded 903 items, with five randomized controlled trials meeting the inclusion criteria. These trials demonstrated that yoga intervention significantly reduced fatigue, emotional distress, and pain in patients with hematological malignancies. However, challenges related to the feasibility of online interventions and adherence were noted. Conclusion: Yoga interventions have the potential to significantly enhance the QOL for patients with hematological malignancies by mitigating fatigue, pain, and psychological distress. Further research is warranted to optimize these interventions and integrate yoga into comprehensive cancer care. Hematological malignancies, comprising a range of cancers including leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma, account for a substantial portion of global cancer diagnoses and fatalities. The incidence and prevalence of these malignancies have exhibited an upward trend over the years, posing significant public health concerns. They represent approximately 7% of all cancers and rank as the fourth most frequently diagnosed cancer in the western world.[1,2]

Published: September 2024

BackgroundThe aim of the research was to collect opinions on concerns related to COVID-19 among persons in helping professions in social assistance facilities.Participants and procedureThe study involved 407 people, including 207 from Poland and 200 from Spain (346 women and 61 men). The research tool was the authors’ questionnaire. Employees of social welfare institutions located in Poland and Spain were selected using purposive sampling. Respondents completed paper and electronic versions of the survey questionnaire.ResultsThe relationship between each helping profession and concerns about the threat to one’s own life and that of loved ones in connection with COVID-19, as well as the relationship between each profession and the fear that the financial situation would deteriorate due to COVID-19, showed a statistically significant relationship only in the study of employees from Poland. The relationship between each profession and the fear of losing one’s job due to COVID-19 showed a statistically significant result only in the study of employees from Spain.ConclusionsOur study showed that the COVID-19 pandemic affected employees in helping professions in social assistance institutions. Employees from Poland feared more that their financial situation would deteriorate, and felt a threat to their health and the health of their relatives and charges. On the other hand, many more workers from Spain expressed a fear of losing their jobs. Occupational therapists most often indicated fears related to the COVID-19 pandemic except for concerns about charges, which were expressed most often by psychologists.

A gestação é um período que gera diversas mudanças físicas, químicas e emocionais na vida da mãe e no meio em que a insere. Em mulheres em situação de rua, aliado a um cenário de abuso de drogas, invisibilidade e falta de informação, essa fase se torna ainda mais delicada para essas gestantes, que ainda lidam com o preconceito. O objetivo desse estudo foi analisar e discutir o contexto de estigmas e vulnerabilidades qual as mulheres gestantes em situação de rua e usuárias de drogas estão inseridas na nossa sociedade. Foi utilizada a metodologia de revisão de literatura de artigos selecionados através da pesquisa das palavras-chave em diferentes bases de dados. Nos resultados, foram discutidos os contextos históricos e sociais das pessoas em situação de rua, os entraves e estigmas para o seu acesso no sistema de saúde, as suas vulnerabilidades e as repercussões materno fetais que são causadas pelo uso de substâncias ilícitas durante a gravidez. Na conclusão, foi apontada a importância da adoção de medidas para melhorar a relação dessas mulheres com a saúde pública e aliviar as consequências às quais elas e seus filhos são submetidos no cenário em que se enquadram, buscando tornar o período gestacional delas humanizado, sabendo lidar com suas diferenciações.
