Authors: Policiuc Liliana , Bica Cecilia , Gulei Diana , Leucuța Daniel Corneliu , Berindan-Neagoe Ioana 
Published: July 2024

Background and aims. This study explores the impact of emotional health on cancer patients, acknowledging the controversies and lack of high-quality data in the field, particularly for rare cancers and younger patients. It highlights the significant prevalence of depression and anxiety among cancer patients, the inadequacies in addressing mental health during and after treatment, and the inconsistencies in prevalence rates due to varying study methodologies. This study unravels the importance of data regarding mental health status in a clinical dataset to accompany the biological sample to be included in a biobank.
Methods. The study utilized a questionnaire to evaluate the opinions of cancer patients, clinicians, and researchers regarding the inclusion of mental health data in clinical datasets accompanying biological samples in biobanks. The study involved 120 participants (40 from each group), and the data were analyzed using statistical methods.
Results. The study found significant differences in the perceived importance of including mental health information among the three groups. Patients showed a higher tendency (87.9%) to consider mental health questions relevant compared to researchers (72.08%) and clinicians (62.08%). The first four questions regarding emotional well-being received the highest positive responses, particularly from patients (94.3%). The findings underline the importance of addressing the mental health of cancer patients, which is often overlooked. The study emphasizes the necessity for integrating mental health data in biobanks and increasing psychological support for cancer patients.
Conclusions. There are clear differences in how patients, researchers, and clinicians value emotional and psychological aspects. The study underscores the need for better education on modern medical practices and the benefits of comprehensive patient care, including mental health considerations.

Background: Thyrotoxicosis is related to cardiovascular mortality. This can be caused by several clinical manifestations involving the rare provocation of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) and mitral regurgitation (MR). However, there are still no clear data on thyrotoxic TR and/or MR. This study examines the progression of TR, MR, heart failure (HF) and pulmonary hypertension (PH) in response to the thyrotoxic heart manifestations, clinical characteristics and treatment approaches. Methods: A PRISMA-based systematic search was conducted using PubMed and other databases up to 17 June 2023. The outcomes of this study were TR, MR, HF and PH with their progression on follow-up, clinical characteristics and treatment approaches. Results: A total of 57 case reports involving 62 patients (45.77 ± 13.41 years) were included in this study. They were predominantly women (n=50; 80.65%) and diagnosed with Graves’ disease (n=41; 75.81%). All patients were diagnosed with thyrotoxicosis, and this included 23 (37.10%) cases of thyroid storm. From echocardiographic studies, several patients improved clinically within the first 6 months of follow-up, including 20 TR patients (83.33%) in 6 months, nine MR patients (69.23%) in 3 months, eight HF patients (66.67%) in 2 months and 16 PH patients (76.19%) in 6 months. Conclusion: Several mechanisms are involved in thyrotoxic TR and/or MR, including the direct thyroid hormone effect and the indirect effect of other hyperthyroidism-associated factors. Patients with thyrotoxic TR and/or MR, including those with HF and PH, can experience clinical and structural improvements following hyperthyroidism treatment in the first 6 months.

Abstract
Cornell University intends to use a deep direct-use geothermal system to heat its Ithaca, New York, campus. In preparation for this project, the Cornell Seismic Network has been monitoring the background seismicity in this intraplate region since 2019. From January 2020 to June 2023, 95 events were detected within 20 km of the proposed geothermal well site, with local magnitudes ranging from −1.02 to 0.56. None of these events appear in regional or national catalogs. Events locate in a narrow geographic band, with one-fourth exhibiting multimodal hypocentral probability peaks both near the surface and at 1–4 km depth. We relocate events with a joint hypocenter and 1D velocity model inversion, in addition to a fully nonlinear method, and then compare observations with synthetic waveforms. Together, these approaches provide strong evidence for &gt;95% of events locating at the surface or within the 3-km-thick sedimentary sequence. We explore how anthropogenic activity and regional topographic stress may contribute to frequent surficial events. This information is critical for characterizing the background microseismicity for comparison during future geothermal operations. Ithaca’s geology of Paleozoic sediments overlying Precambrian crystalline basement is typical of many continental interiors, so these results also provide insight into intraplate microseismicity patterns.

Published: July 2024

Background: Urinary tract infection is a very common clinical entity and are the leading causes of nosocomial infections. The options for antibiotics especially for nosocomial infections are very limited. Fosfomycin a good drug to be used in UTI and is recommend as first line agents for acute uncomplicated UTIs. The emergence of resistance to fosfomycin is a concern. Limited resistance data for fosfomycin is available from India. This study was conducted in order to monitor the trends of resistance to fosfomycin in E coli and Enterococcus faecalis causing UTI.
Methods: Urine samples received in the laboratory from all patients were included in the study. Microscopy of uncentrifuged urine sample was done. Culture and sensitivity was done as per the CLSI guidelines. Susceptibility testing of the isolates to fosfomycin was performed interpretation done as per CLSI.
Results: Total 150 isolates were taken for the study which included 100 isolates of E. coli and 50 isolates of Enterococcus faecalis. None of the E. coli isolates were resistant to fosfomycin and 82.0% of the isolates were found to be sensitive to nitrofurantoin. None of the Enterococcus faecalis isolates were resistant to linezolid. The percentage susceptibility was 52 % and 70 % for nitrofurantoin and fosfomycin respectively.
Conclusions: The increasing resistance to fosfomycin is a matter of concern. An increased fosfomycin resistance rate in E. faecalis was observed. Performing antimicrobial susceptibility testing should be the most important criteria before starting the antibiotic to avoid undue usage and more such studies need to be conducted.

Published: July 2024

Background: Chemoradiotherapy (CRT)-induced diarrhea poses significant challenges for cancer patients, impacting both quality of life and treatment efficacy. Current management strategies often involve symptomatic relief with medications such as lomotil and loperamide, but limited data exist on the efficacy of lomotil for management of CRT-induced diarrhea. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of lomotil in managing acute CRT-induced diarrhea.
Methods: A cross-sectional observational trial was conducted at 25 Indian healthcare centers having medical records of adult patients with cancer who had received lomotil for the treatment of CRT-induced diarrhea. Adult patients (aged ≥18 years) with confirmed diagnosis of cancer, who were experiencing CRT-induced diarrhea of grade II or grade III severity were included in this study. Demographic information and treatment history were collected. Moreover, data related to stool frequency, stool consistency, abdominal cramp, and occurrence of blood or mucus were collected at baseline, day 1, day 2, day 3, 2nd week, 3rd week, and 4th week.
Results: A total of 177 patients were included in this study. Of these 30.51% underwent radiotherapy, while 26.55% received both chemotherapy and radiotherapy in combination. Post-lomotil treatment, diarrhea incidence declined significantly by week 4 [pre-treatment to week 4: 3.58 to 0.42; P<0.001]. The presence of blood or mucus decreased significantly from baseline to week 4 (0.25 to 0.05; p<0.01). The overall global assessment for improvement showed that a majority of the patients (80.79%) experienced improvement.
Conclusions: Lomotil demonstrated efficacy in reducing CRT-induced diarrhea incidence and symptoms, with minimal adverse effects.

Epiqueya e a dimensão social da Justiça. O Estatuto das Vítimas
Authors: Santos Maria Celeste Cordeiro Leite dos , Araujo Marilene 
Published: July 2024

A atualidade da Epiqueya (Epikeia, do grego, equidade) cumpre um papel central na compreensão atual do Estado liberal e democrático de direito. Em termos gerais, a tensão das correntes positivismo-antipositivismo é vista como manifestação das preocupações contrapostas que rodeiam a atividade de interpretação jurídica, sobretudo no marco da atividade judicial. Enquanto o positivismo tende a privilegiar a seguridade jurídica, o antipositivismo favorece os argumentos de Equidade e de Justiça material. O antipositivismo, insistirá com análises refinadas e busca desmascarar os verdadeiros motivos ou interesses das dinâmicas de poder que subjacem a uma decisão jurídica. Por meio de metodologia analítica-descritiva que envolve a pesquisa qualitativa, com investigação bibliográfica e documental, o presente artigo vale-se do método hermenêutico e da Tópica aristotélica, investigando a Justiça Restaurativa, e teve por objetivos demonstrar que, sendo equilíbrio, a Equidade viria a ser a Justiça da Justiça jurídica. Como resultado, analisa o PL nº 3890/90, que tramita na Câmara dos Deputados e visa instituir o Estatuto das Vítimas na legislação brasileira, uma dimensão social da Justiça do Século XXI.
O ativismo judicial como meio de mitigação da prática do dumping social e instrumento de colaboração para a eficácia plena do direito fundamental ao trabalho
Authors: Dutra Lincoln Zub 
Published: July 2024

Este artigo aborda o tema o ativismo judicial como meio de refutar à prática do dumping social e propiciar a eficácia plena do direito fundamental ao trabalho, haja vista a imperiosa importância e discussão inerente ao mesmo, em especial no meio jurídico e político-social. A elevação do Poder Judiciário ao status de Poder de Estado, aliado ao fortalecimento do constituicionalismo no pós-guerra, revelou uma nova face de organização dos contemporâneos Estados de Direito, tornando ainda mais rigorosos os limites à atuação de suas instituições, com imposição da estrita legalidade de seus atos, ao tempo em que ampliou a interferência dos poderes entre si, de forma participativa, fiscalizadora e corretiva, com vistas a garantir a citada legalidade exigida, mas também a eficiência e efetividade na prestação das obrigações estatais. Desse modo, através do método hipotético dedutivo, da revisão bibliográfica, do direito comparado e da análise econômica constitucional do direito do trabalho, busca-se através do presente artigo demonstrar a relevância do ativismo judicial como instrumento transformador do Estado Democrático e Social de Direito, tanto quanto como meio de refutar o descumprimento reiterado das normas trabalhistas e viabilizador da eficácia plena do direito fundamental ao trabalho, ou seja, tanto na relação entre Estado e particulares como entre particulares.
Can the behavioral agency model refine a standard agency theory?
Authors: Masyhuri Muhammad 
Published: July 2024

Purpose — The existence of agency problems is widely recognized in various academic fields. Nevertheless, as argued by many scholars, agency theory has obvious shortcomings both theoretically and empirically. The aim of this study is to analyze and compare the conventional Standard Agency Theory (SAT) and the Behavioral Agency Model (BAM) as a refined framework of an agency model.Method — The methods used for this study were descriptive analysis, involving the review and comparison of the work of Wiseman & Gomez-Mejia (1998) and Pepper & Gore (2015). The technique employed and proposed for this method is to analyze and compare the relevant elements between SAT and BAM.Result — It is found that BAM can provide a better framework for modifying and understanding such agency problems in organizations, particularly in terms of human factors, organization, and information assumptions that are considered to balance the roles of the principal and the agent as actors in the organization.Contribution — This study contributes to the body of knowledge by refining the old and conventional standard agency theory (SAT) and introducing BAM as a new concept. BAM sheds light not only on the roles of actors and organizations but also on the application of a behavioral economics approach to provide a robust and rigorous method for analyzing "agency problems" in organizations, especially in private business families around the world.

Authors: Haro-Ramos Alein Y. , Sanchez Gabriel R. , Barreto Matt A. 
Published: July 2024

Objectives. To examine the relationship between health care discrimination and COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy attributed to fears of immigration status complications among unvaccinated Latino adults and to determine whether the association differs among immigrants and US-born individuals. Methods. After universal adult eligibility for the COVID-19 vaccine, a nationally representative sample of 12 887 adults was surveyed using online and mobile random digit dialing from May 7 to June 7, 2021. The analytic sample (n = 881) comprised unvaccinated Latino adults. We examined the association between individual and cumulative health care discrimination measures and COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy assignable to immigration-related fears. Results. Using a cumulative measure of health care discrimination, each additional experience corresponded to a 28% higher odds of reporting vaccine hesitancy Because of immigration-related fears. Findings were consistent across US-born and immigrant Latino adults. Four of the 5 discriminatory experiences were positively associated with vaccine hesitancy, including the absence of optimal treatment options, denial or delayed access to necessary health care, physician communication barriers, and lack of specialist referrals. Conclusions. Findings confirm a positive association between health care discrimination and COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy attributable to immigration-related fears among Latino adults, regardless of immigration status.
