What the Rheumatologist Needs to Know about IBD Treatment
Authors: Ma Christopher 
Published: October 2024

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), including Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), affect almost 1% of the Canadian population and are characterized by debilitating gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms including chronic diarrhea, rectal bleeding and abdominal pain. Beyond involvement of the GI tract, up to half of patients with IBD will also experience extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs) or be diagnosed with comorbid immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs), which are associated with substantial morbidity and impaired quality of life. The most common of these are inflammatory joint diseases, including peripheral and axial spondyloarthritis or concomitant rheumatoid (RA) or psoriatic arthritis (PsA), affecting up to 1 in 5 patients with IBD.
Osteoporosis in 2024: Frequency, Monitoring and Treatment
Authors: Wong-Pack Matthew , Lau Arthur N. 
Published: October 2024

Osteoporosis is a chronic condition characterized by decreased bone mineral density (BMD) and deterioration of bone architecture, leading to an increased risk of fractures. It is the most common metabolic bone disease globally. It is estimated that more than two million Canadians aged 40 years and older have osteoporosis. Approximately 80% of Canadians who have sustained a fracture due to osteoporosis do not receive appropriate care, leaving them at an elevated risk for subsequent fractures, deconditioning, and premature death.1 Many clinical practice guidelines exist on the management of osteoporosis and fracture prevention. Several of them have separate definitions for patients deemed very high and high risk for fracture and, as such, have specific criteria for the use of anabolic and antiresorptive treatments.

Published: October 2024

Background The performance of large-language models, such as ChatGPT, on medical and sub-specialty examinations has been preliminarily explored in fields such as radiology, obstetrics and gynecology, and orthopedic surgery. However, no literature assessing ChatGPT’s ability to answer hand surgery exam questions exists. This study’s purpose was to evaluate ChatGPT’s performance on hand surgery board-style examination questions. Methods All questions from the American Society for Surgery of the Hand (ASSH) Hand 100 Exam, Beginner, and Intermediate Assessment tools were entered into ChatGPT-3.5. Responses were regenerated two times to identify inconsistencies. Duplicate questions, questions with figures and/or videos, and questions that ChatGPT refused to provide a response to were excluded. ChatGPT’s correct response rate, answer modifications, and human accuracy were recorded. Results 117 questions from the 3 assessment tools were analyzed: 49 from the ASSH Hand 100, 32 from the Beginner, and 36 from the Intermediate Assessment tools. On ChatGPT’s initial attempt, 40.82% (20/49), 50.0% (16/32), 38.89% (14/36) of questions were correctly answered, respectively. Overall, ChatGPT correctly answered 50/117 (42.7%) of questions on the first try. ChatGPT excelled in topics (>60% correct) of mass/tumor, nerve, wrist, and performed poorly (<40% correct) on topics regarding anatomy/basic science/imaging, brachial plexus, congenital, elbow, tendon, and vascular disorders, trauma. On the Beginner and Intermediate Exams, humans correctly answered 56.64% and 62.73% of questions, respectively. Conclusions ChatGPT can correctly answer simpler hand surgery questions but performed poorly when compared to humans on higher-difficulty questions.

Published: October 2024

Global warming, environmental degradation, and climate change have recently emerged as compelling arguments against the combustion of fossil fuels. As well Eliminating and forgoing the intake of fossil fuels is also encouraged by the Sustainable Development Agenda's goals. The healthy substitute for fossil fuels, renewable energy is one of the main devoid power sources found in our natural surroundings. An effective proposition for harnessing wave energy with an emphasis on increasing energy and efficiency are wave energy converters, or WEnCos. It contributes to producing a clean, limitless energy source that might drastically lessen our need for fossil fuels. Generally speaking, the selecting of the appropriate converter is an important endeavor that this study takes on. The process of selecting the optimal converter has been conducted based on effective benchmarks or criteria and its attributes. Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) techniques seem to be effective tools when it comes to handling the complex issue of benchmarking WEnCos. These approaches consider a variety of criteria, allowing for a comprehensive and nuanced examination. Each utilized technique plays vital role in our decision problem. Hence, CRiteria Importance Through Inter-criteria Correlation (CRITIC) method—which determines the weights of criteria and its attributes in decision making problems. These weights are utilized in Weighted Sum Product (WISP) method. Totally, these techniques are implemented under uncertainty theory of Neutrosophic which combined with soft sets notion to generate Triangular Neutrosophic HyperSoft (TrNSHSS). Totally, all these techniques are contributed to constructing soft decision-making model for analyzing and recommending optimal WEnCo.

Published: October 2024

Introdução: O sistema de vigilância do Vírus da Imunodeficiência Humana (VIH) visa identificar mudanças na tendência dos casos e estabelecer acções para o controlo e prevenção da doença no país. O objectivo deste estudo foi avaliar o sistema de vigilância epidemiológica do VIH/SIDA, nos sítios sentinela na província de Luanda de Janeiro 2013 á Dezembro de 2015.Métodos: Estudo transversal, usando o Guião do CDC, 2001 de Directrizes para Avaliação de Sistemas de Vigilância em Saúde Pública (SVSP), nomeadamente Simplicidade, estabilidade, qualidade dos dados, sensibilidade e o valor preditivo positivo de cada um dos seis sítios sentinela na província de Luanda. Os dados foram colhidos com base num questionário padrão (CDC Atlanta) aplicado aos operadores do SVSP e num conjunto de instrumentos operacionais do SVSP. Foram processados e analisados no programa estatístico Epi-Info versão 7.2.1 para calcular estatística descritiva. Para o cálculo do Valor Preditivo Positivo (VPP) avaliou-se a quantidade de indivíduos testados sobre a quantidade de doentes retidos no sistema. Foram observados os princípios éticos estabelecidos na Declaração de Helsínquia sobre a investigação em seres humanos.Resultados: Foram inqueridos 33 profissionais que operam no SVPS dos sítios sentinelas. Quando questionados sobre a simplicidade 23 (70%) referem complexo, quanto a estabilidade 22 (65%) referem ser instável. No que diz respeito a qualidade dos dados, foram avaliadas 348 fichas e relatórios, destes 229(65,8%) estavam incorrectos. Quanto a sensibilidade, tendo emconta os testes para o VHI aplicado nos sítios sentinela e o respectivo valor preditivo positivo, verificamos que foram realizados 176542 testes, destes 32862 (18.6%) foram positivos aos teste Determine e 32526 (18.4%) foram positivos pelo teste Unigold, onde o valor preditivo positivo neste período foi de 99%. Conclusão: O SVSP para o VIH/SIDA em Luanda, apesar de o sistema ser sensível e ter capacidade em detectar os casos positivos, o mesmo é complexo e instável, reflectindo-se na qualidade dos dados que é deficiente. A revisão do sistema de informação incluindo a detecção e gestão de doentes com VIH é fundamental para o seu funcionamento pleno. Estudos de investigação de implementação são necessários.

Unidades de Saúde: Empresas como quaisquer outras?
Authors: Malheiro Jorge B. 
Published: October 2024

Qualquer unidade produtiva que aspire a uma gestão acertada e coerente (e as unidades de saúde não são excepção à regra) deve preparar e rever com regularidade cinco planos de gestão:
Plano de Investigação e DesenvolvimentoPlano de ProduçãoPlano de MarketingPlano FinanceiroPlano Administrativo
O objectivo do plano de marketing, ponto central deste diagrama, é fixar o futuro comercial da empresa, optimizando a utilização das suas possibilidades e recursos a fim de obter melhores resultados. Estes resultados podem não ser necessariamente financeiros: podem traduzir-se em eficiência, volume de acções, ou, como no caso de organizações sem fins lucrativos, nummaior número de indivíduos assistidos. Como elemento determinante da política da empresa, e porque é ele que vai condicionar a construção dos restantes, o Plano de Marketing deve ser estabelecido em primeiro lugar, sendo os restantes elaborados a partir dos dados por ele determinados.
Ainda sobre Humanização em Serviços de Saúde
Authors: Cruz Maria do Carmo 
Published: October 2024

O problema da humanização dos cuidados de saúde começou a preocupar as sociedades mais desenvolvidas há já muitos anos mas não deixa de ser curioso que um dos países que tem um plano nacional para a humanização dos cuidados e procedimentos seja o Brasil, onde os hospitais públicos têm sido considerados entre os que menos se interessavam pelo assunto. Por outro lado, é também interessante reter que o sistema de saúde brasileiro assenta essencialmente na privatização dos cuidados, pelo que o próprio marketing e concorrência se interligaram para chamar a atenção para a necessidade de não apenas tratar o doente.

Authors: Zhuk V. V. , Mikheev A. N. , Ovsyannikova L. G. 
Published: October 2024

Aim. The effect of ultraviolet C (UV-C) radiation and cytokinin benzylaminopurine (BAP) on the growth and content of photosynthetic pigments in leaves of pea plants (Pisum sativum L.) was studied. Methods. Pea plants cultivar Aronis were irradiated by UV-C at a dose of 15 kJ/m2 with a power of 7 W/m2. Part of the non-irradiated plants was treated with BAP, part of the plants was treated with BAP one day before irradiation and part of plants were treated with BAP in one day after UV-C irradiation. Length and mass of plant shoots and roots were measured during the experiment. Content of photosynthetic pigments in leaves were determined during all time the experiment. Results. It was shown that pea plants growth delayed content of carotenoids in leaves reduced after the UV-C radiation of pea plants. Treatment of plants with BAP after the end of the UV-C radiation accelerated the restoration of photosynthetic pigments content. Conclusions. It was shown that UV-C radiation of pea plants by dose of 15 kJ/m2 caused inhibition of growth, decreasing photosynthetic pigments content in leaves. The BAP treatment after radiation stimulated the restoration of photosynthetic pigments content in the leaves.

Aim. To determine the selective concentrations of phosphinothricin and paromomycin for the selection of transgenic plants of spelt wheat. Methods. Shoot apical meristem culture, mature embryo culture, Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation. Results. Isolation and cultivation of shoot apical meristems of seedlings from three spelt genotypes and mature embryos from three other genotypes were carried out. A high frequency (from 80 to 100 %) of callus induction from explants was observed. It was shown that the addition of 5 mg/l of phosphinothricin or 100 mg/l of paromomycin to the culture medium almost completely inhibited plant regeneration compared to the control. After Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation of calli with a vector containing the phosphinothricin-N-acetyltransferase gene, regeneration of spelt shoots for one genotype was observed on a selective medium with 5 mg/l phosphinothricin. Conclusions. The selective concentrations of herbicide and antibiotic for obtaining transgenic spelt wheat plants with the corresponding marker genes are 5 mg/l for phosphinothricin and 100 mg/l for paromomycin.

Published: October 2024

The article discusses the main stages of life and scientific activities of the renowned and respected academician-breeder Vasyl Yakovych Yuriev. His name is inextricably linked with the activities of the Ukrainian Research Institute of Plant Breeding, Selection, and Genetics (now Yuriev Plant Production Institute of the National Academy of Agrarian Sciences of Ukraine). It is shown that in his scientific work, Vasyl Yakovych paid special attention to the collection of initial material, the selection of parental forms for crossing, developed methods for testing hybrids and varieties at different stages of the selection process, and demonstrated the advantages of the method of selecting pure lines from local wheat populations compared to the ineffective method of mass selection. Based on this method, under his leadership, many high-yielding valuable varieties of winter and spring wheat, rye, millet, barley, and corn were developed. To study the patterns of inheritance of important valuable traits in wheat, V. Ya. Yuriev used intervarietal and interspecies crosses of the diallel type. Many studies have been conducted in the field of breeding varieties for disease and pest resistance and immunity. In recognition of his scientific achievements, the Academy of Sciences of Ukraine established the Vasyl Yakovych Yuriev Prize, which is awarded for the highest achievements in the field of selection and genetics.
