Plasmoblastic lymphoma is a rare, aggressive B-cell malignancy with poor long-term survival. Plasmoblastic lymphoma occurs most commonly in patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), but cases associated with solid organ transplantation have also been reported, less commonly plasmoblastic lymphoma registers in immunocompetent patients. The disease is more common in male patients (75 %) aged from 8 to 62 years (median age 50 years), and most often the tumor lesions are localized in the oral cavity. Rare localizations of plasmoblastic lymphoma include pleura, testicles, mammary glands, lungs, and skin. As casuistic areas of lesions, the central nervous system can be noted.The article describes a clinical case of HIV-positive pediatric patient with rare plasmoblastic lymphoma of chiasmosellar zone. The disease was complicated with secondary hypocorticism and hypotyreosis, a deficiency of somatotrophic hormone and diabetes insipidus.

Background. Assessing nutritional status at the start of treatment for patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma allows us to plan adequate accompanying treatment for patients in whom early nutritional support can improve the results of antitumor treatment.Aim. To assess the prevalence of nutritional deficiency, features of usual diet energy and protein composition in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma who are starting antitumor treatment.Materials and methods. The study included 96 adult patients (m = 61), average age 38.9 ± 16.8 years, with newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of various localization and prevalence. Additional laboratory screening (total protein, albumin, C-reactive protein (CRP), total cholesterol, triglycerides, daily urea excretion), anthropometric measurements (height, body weight (BW), weight loss over 6 months, body mass index), questionnaire (considering the intake of nutrients during the previous 3 days, calculating the intake of protein and energy, nitrogen balance) were performed in all patients before the first course of antitumor treatment. GLIM (Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition) criteria were used to diagnose protein-energy malnutrition (PEM).Results. In studied patients, energy intake was 27.92 ± 6.47 kcal/kg BW per day, protein 0.91 ± 0.18 g/kg BW per day, and nitrogen balance was –3.57 ± 2.94 g/day. Moderate PEM was diagnosed in 37 (38.5 %) patients. Differences in some laboratory parameters were revealed in patients with PEM and without nutritional disorders: CRP level (20.38 ± 14.69 mg/L versus 12.52 ± 5.66 mg/L; p = 0.0004), glucose (5.07 ± 1.09 mmol/L versus 4.57 ± 0.62 mmol/L; p = 0.005), total cholesterol (4.35 ± 1.27 mmol/L versus 5.36 ± 1.45 mmol/L), triglycerides (1.22 ± 0.51 mmol/L versus 2.02 ± 0.78 mmol/L; p = 0.001).Conclusion. Moderate PEM is detected in more than a third of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma who begin antitumor treatment. The leading symptom in this case is unintentional weight loss over the past 6 months. An increased CRP level, moderate hyperglycemia, and lower concentrations of total cholesterol and blood triglycerides also characterize PEM in this cohort of patients. With sufficient energy supply, the amount of protein in the natural diet of patients with PEM turned out to be low, and the nitrogen balance was negative, which in the future can lead to the development of sarcopenia and requires nutritional support.
Witnessing the Waste Land: A Phenomenological Account of Landscape and its Discontents
Authors: Allwood Mark 
Published: September 2024

“Witnessing the Waste Land: A Phenomenological Account of Landscape and its Discontents” is a text and image experiment centred around the urban wilderness of Tommy Thompson Park in Toronto, Ontario. The text can be read in numerous ways by oscillating between philosophical thought, poetry, photography, stream of consciousness, and the analysis and inclusion of documents. In some ways this approach is an imitation and a reaction to the postmodern urban schizophrenia one encounters at a park that operates as a waste disposal facility, a habitat for flora and fauna, a research centre, a bike trail, a habitat creation project, a birder’s paradise, and a waste land.
Comment on “An Evaluation of the Timing Accuracy of Global and Regional Seismic Stations and Networks” by Yang et al. (2021)
Authors: Zhang Xin , Wen Lianxing 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Yang et al. (2021; hereafter, YSR21) reported widespread clock errors at global and regional stations by measuring travel-time residuals of repeating earthquakes (doublets) after the corrections for relative event parameters and claimed that the reported temporal changes in the inner core boundary (ICB) in Wen (2006; hereafter, Wen06) were a “misidentification” after correcting the clock errors and instrumental changes of the seismic stations. Here, we examine their claims with a focus on the reported “problematic” stations AAK and OBN and the two associated doublets they emphasized in the inner core study. Forward calculations show that: (1) YSR21’s doublet relocation results contain large errors, generating large travel-time residuals in the individual stations and in the depth-sensitive phases, (2) YSR21’s selection of “problematic stations” is not supported by the travel-time residuals predicted from their relocation results, and (3) YSR21’s reported clock errors of the two stations are not reproducible based on their relocation results. Our reanalysis of the doublet data, which yields a much better fit to the observations, indicates no clock error at OBN and no justifiable claim of a clock error at AAK. Accordingly, YSR21’s manual shifts by clock errors to the OBN and AAK observations of Wen06 are not justified, and their resultant claim of “misidentification” of the temporal ICB change in Wen06 is unfounded. We further show that the effect of instrument changes can be simply corrected by the deconvolution of instrument responses, and the temporal change of PKiKP at station ARU in Wen06 is evident after the correction. Our study confirms the reported ICB temporal change in Wen06. The inaccurate relocation and unreproducible results in YSR21 raise questions on their claim of prevailing clock errors in the global stations and the validity of the past inner core studies by the two leading authors.

Utilizing Centers for Teaching and Learning to Support Dual Enrollment Educators
Authors: Focarile Teresa , Denecker Christine 
Published: September 2024

Across the country, many states are expanding their support for and implementation of Dual Enrollment programs, seeing them as opportunities to encourage students to go on to college - particularly those students who historically might have had less opportunity and/or encouragement to do so. As these programs expand, so too does the need for professional development for the educators who teach this widening and increasingly diverse student population.
As documented in several studies, educator professional development is critical to Dual Enrollment success; however, research has shown that training is not always timely, consistent, or robust. To address this challenge, our institutions have found value in leveraging Centers for Teaching and Learning (CTLs) to help fill this professional development gap. In this manuscript we share examples of how CTLs at our respective institutions have supported the training of Dual Enrollment instructors in order to assure successful and inclusive teaching and learning courses.
Augsburg Health Commons

Published: September 2024

Placed-based education, grounded in collaborative learning opportunities with minoritized communities, is vitally needed to change the health crises that impact our communities. Many current learning models focus on engaging in communities in ways that are centered on focusing on the deficits of certain populations or name issues that impact individuals’ health that fall short of teaching students to be inclusive of the people who are impacted by injustices such as health inequities. Also, many times, these learning experiences are once-a-semester activities that are not sustainable over time. Thus, universities, as anchor institutions, have a responsibility to use innovative learning strategies to allow students to gain skills to take action on these issues while also partnering with other organizations. This paper will present the Health Commons model which provides an example of means to address the issues and responsibilities named above. The lessons learned from engaging in this model of learning over the last thirty years, especially in terms of duplication for similar placed-based community partnerships include: (1) knowledge is fluid (2) humility is required, (3) get comfortable with being ambiguous, (4) health is membership, (5) there is always more to it, (6) suspend judgment, and (7) making time for self-reflection.

Published: September 2024

: Various dermatological disorders, including sexually or nonsexually transmitted infections and non-venereal disorders, are present on the genitalia. As with epidemiology, the etiology and pathogenesis of many diseases of the female genitalia are not well understood. In the literature review, we found a paucity of studies on non-venereal dermatoses affecting female genitalia in India. The current study was conducted to estimate the frequency and the clinical pattern of non-infectious, non-venereal dermatoses affecting female genitalia.A cross-sectional study on female genital dermatoses of non-venereal and non-infectious etiologyA total of 48 adult female participants with only non-infectious, non-venereal genital dermatoses attending a tertiary care hospital were enrolled. Cases with a venereal or infectious cause were excluded. A detailed history, including demographic data and complaints related to genital lesions, was elicited. Examination of the genitalia and extra-genital area were done. Relevant investigations were done. The diagnosis was established. Analysis was done using MS Excel 13.: The majority of participants were middle-aged with a mean age of 44.2 ± 9.5 years. The most common non-venereal genital dermatoses were Lichen sclerosus et atrophicus, a premalignant conditions (27.1%), followed by pigmentary condition (25.0%), papulo-squamous dermatosis (25.0%), vesiculo-bullous conditions (8.3%), physiological conditions (6.3%), benign conditions (6.3%), and malignant conditions (2.0%). 82.2% of participants had dermatosis over the genitalia only. Lichen sclerosus et atrophicus was the most common dermatoses involving only genitalia.Thirteen different dermatoses were observed involving female genitalia. Although there seems to be some lack of knowledge about genital dermatoses, shyness, and apprehension to seek healthcare facilities in society, females are still concerned about the aesthetics of the genitalia as fifty percent of cases presented with the pigmentary changes of genitalia.
Catagenesis of Organic Matter and Petroleum Potential of Proterozoic and Phanerozoic Deposits of the Anabar–Khatanga Saddle
Authors: Fomin A.N. 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
—The degree of organic-matter (OM) maturation in Proterozoic, Paleozoic, and Mesozoic deposits in the Anabar–Khatanga saddle has been determined from examination of the reflectance of macerals (mainly vitrinite). The Proterozoic deposits contain only graphite inclusions of uncertain origin. In the Cambrian, Devonian, and Carboniferous strata, OM has transformed predominantly to apocatagenesis grades (AC2–3). Similarly transformed OM (AC1–3) is found in the lower Permian Tustakh and Lower Kozhevnikova formations. In some wells and areas, the degree of OM catagenesis is not higher than МC12–МC2 grades (classification after A.E. Kontorovich). In the Upper Kozhevnikova Formation, catagenesis grades are within МC11–АC1 in the upper Permian and within МC11–МC32 in the Triassic. In the Jurassic deposits, OM has transformed to early mesocatagenesis grades (МC11–МC12) and reached MC2 at the most deeply buried segments. In the Cretaceous strata, OM is less transformed, corresponding to PC3–МC11 or, seldom, higher grades of catagenesis. Some complexes in the Permian, Triassic, and Jurassic–Cretaceous deposits with OM of moderate maturity might be petroleum-promising.
Composition of Phlogopite from Ultramafic Lamprophyres as an Indicator of Formation Conditions (Zima Alkaline Ultramafic Carbonatite Complex, Southern Siberian Craton)

Published: September 2024

Abstract
––The paper presents data on the age and composition of phlogopite from dikes of ultramafic lamprophyres (aillikites) of the Zima Complex located within the Urik–Iya graben in the East Sayan region (southern margin of the Siberian craton). Samples for study were taken from postcarbonatite dikes of the Bol’shaya Tagna intrusion, Bushkanai dike, and Yuzhnaya volcanic pipe. The studied samples consist of olivine macrocrysts and fully crystallized groundmass composed mainly of phlogopite, perovskite, minerals of spinel and apatite groups, carbonates, and other minerals. Phlogopite is a typical groundmass mineral in the ultramafic lamprophyres of the Zima alkaline ultramafic carbonatite complex. It was also found in polycrystalline inclusions in olivines and in polyphase inclusions in chromites. In the studied samples, the groundmass phlogopite has tabular zoned crystals of greatly varying size and composition. The phlogopite grains show mainly a reverse zoning, with the cores composed of ferruginous high-alumina phlogopite. The intricate zoning probably resulted from the mixing of two magmas. The cores of phlogopites of the Zima Complex aillikites (with Al2O3 = 14–18 wt.%, FeO = 7–18 wt.%, and TiO2 = 3–6 wt.%) formed from early portions of a more evolved aillikite melt. Phlogopite with Al2O3 = 10–14 wt.%, FeO = 4–10 wt.%, and TiO2 = 1–2 wt.% crystallized from the parental aillikite magma. The phlogopite age of the Bol’shaya Tagna aillikites is 635 ± 7 Ma (TGK 3). The age of phlogopite from the Yuzhnaya pipe aillikites is 647 ± 7 Ma (BZT 4/21). The two ages are consistent with the time of formation of Neoproterozoic alkaline ultramafic carbonatite complexes of the Siberian craton and of other occurrences of aillikites resulted from the extension of the Rodinia lithosphere.

Abstract

Plasmodium malariae parasites are widely observed across the tropics and sub-tropics. This slow-growing species, known to maintain chronic asymptomatic infections, has been associated with reduced antimalarial susceptibility. We analyse 251 P. malariae genomes, and leveraging 131,601 high-quality SNPs, demonstrate segregation of African and Asian isolates. Signals of recent evolutionary selection were identified in genes encoding putative surface proteins (pmmsp1) and putative erythrocyte invasion proteins (pmdpap3, pmrbp2, pmnif4). Amino acid substitutions were identified in orthologs of genes associated with antimalarial susceptibility including 2 amino acid substitutions in pmdhfr aligning with pyrimethamine resistance mutations in P. falciparum. Additionally, we characterise pmdhfr mutation F57L and demonstrate its involvement in reduced susceptibility to pyrimethamine for the first time in a parasite assay. We validate CRISPR-Cas9 mediated ortholog replacement in P. knowlesi parasites to determine the function of pmdhfr mutations and demonstrate that circulating pmdhfr genotypes are less susceptible to pyrimethamine.

Abstract

Materials capable of light upconversion—transforming low-energy photons into higher-energy ones—are pivotal in advancing optoelectronics, energy solutions, and photocatalysis. However, the discovery in various materials pays little attention on few-layer transition metal dichalcogenides, primarily due to their indirect bandgaps and weaker light-mater interactions. Here, we report a pronounced light upconversion in few-layer transition metal dichalcogenides through upconversion photoluminescence spectroscopy. Our joint theory-experiment study attributes the upconversion photoluminescence to a resonant exciton-exciton annihilation involving a pair of dark excitons with opposite momenta, followed by the spontaneous emission of upconverted bright excitons, which can have a high upconversion efficiency. Additionally, the upconversion photoluminescence is generic in MoS2, MoSe2, WS2, and WSe2, showing a high tuneability from green to ultraviolet light (2.34–3.1 eV). The findings pave the way for further exploration of light upconversion regarding fundamental properties and device applications in two-dimensional semiconductors.
Patterns of oviposition site selection of four sympatric species of amphibians in ephemeral streams

Published: September 2024

Abstract

Many oviparous animals are selective about where to lay eggs, as this greatly affects their offspring’s survival. Theoretically, species sharing the same habitat are expected to experience similar selective pressures, leading to the prediction that they might share similar oviposition preferences. However, this hypothesis has not yet been tested. In this study, through an extensive field survey, we examined the oviposition site selection of four sympatric amphibian species (Rana uenoi, Hynobius quelpaertensis, Bombina orientalis, and Dryophytes japonicus) that reproduce in the same natural ephemeral stream. Our focus was on understanding how abiotic and biotic factors influence their reproductive choices. We primarily found that drought avoidance is a universal selective pressure affecting all species, with a tendency to avoid laying eggs in smaller pools prone to drought. Species-specific responses to leaf litter and canopy coverage were observed, but none of the species' oviposition choices correlated with the quantity of stones in pools. We also explored biotic influences, revealing species-specific trends in the selection of pools with conspecific and heterospecific juveniles, predators, and mosquito larvae, indicating a complex ecological interplay. These findings highlight the complexity of ovipositional patterns in animals, where decisions are not driven solely by a single factor such as the avoidance of predators or competitors but also by intricate assessments of multiple factors. The study highlights that amphibian oviposition in ephemeral streams is influenced by a diverse interplay of biotic and abiotic factors, essential for understanding their reproductive strategies in dynamic environments.
