Autoimmune disease and aesthetic medicine: a holistic approach
Authors: Górska Magdalena , Kmak Bożena , Szot Anna 
Published: August 2024

Introduction and purpose
The field of aesthetic medicine has experienced rapid advancement in recent years. It serves primarily aesthetic purposes while also supporting various medical treatments. The range of available aesthetic medicine procedures continues to expand, with numerous studies confirming their therapeutic efficacy in treating certain diseases or conditions. Conversely, a substantial list of contraindications exists, particularly in autoimmune diseases, necessitating caution and precluding the performance of certain aesthetic treatments.
Autoimmune diseases entail the body's immune system attacking its tissues, a process whose complete development and maintenance in specific diseases remains incompletely understood. Injection treatments like hyaluronic acid and mesotherapy have demonstrated considerable promise in aiding individuals with autoimmune connective tissue diseases to lead everyday lives.
This study discusses to what extent selective aesthetic medical procedures could be safely performed in patients with the most common autoimmune diseases.
Material and methods
A literature review was conducted through an extensive bibliographic search, primarily focusing on original research articles from reputable databases such as PubMed, BioMed Central, Polish Medical Platform, and Google Scholar. The search was specifically targeted towards articles discussing particular autoimmune diseases and specific aesthetic procedures.

Conclusion
Established relationships between autoimmune diseases and specific aesthetic medicine treatments have been identified, highlighting their ineffectiveness or inadvisability. In such instances, the physician's extensive knowledge and the necessity for a comprehensive, individually tailored assessment before the procedure often dictate a patient's exclusion from specific therapies.

Published: August 2024

Facial trauma often involves injuries to the eyelid and periorbital region. Management of these injuries is quite a challenge due to a proximity of multiple anatomic structures. A 45-year-old man presented to the hospital two days after severe eye injury. Physical examination revealed a holohedral laceration of lower eyelid, damage of tear ducts and amblyopia of his left eye. CT examination of eye sockets excluded fracture of the left orbit walls and presence of foreign body. Reconstruction of the left lower eyelid was performed. The inferior tear duct was not visualized. A fragment of the full-thickness eyelid covered with necrosis was excised. Patient received an antibiotic therapy, metronidazole and hydrocortisone. Local treatment of the operated eye included Floxal, Tobrex, Vigamox and humid chamber. Patient was discharged from the hospital after three days and was to come to the clinic after a week for a check-up, during which some of the sutures were removed and no complications were found. Eyelid reconstruction surgery can prevent serious complications, including lacrimation and tear flow disorders, corneal exposure, and fissure regurgitation. In this case, the procedure turned out to be successful despite the patient's significant neglect of the situation. However, it is crucial to prevent the causes of late patient reporting in emergencies and to raise public awareness of possible consequences of such behavior.

Published: August 2024

ABSTRACT
Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis syndrome (HLH) is a rare hyperinflammatory disorder linked to acute pancreatitis. While there are only a few case reports available on this particular association, we would like to share the case of a 60-year-old man who experienced acute-onset abdominal pain typical of pancreatitis. Three days after admission, he developed fever, pancytopenia, hypertriglyceridemia, and hyperferritinemia. A bone marrow biopsy performed for evaluation of fever revealed hemophagocytosis. Initiation of treatment for HLH showed dramatic improvement. It is important to note that while HLH may be rarely associated with pancreatitis, early diagnosis and treatment is critical and can be life-saving.
Extraction and characterisation of sodium alginate from the Southern African seaweed Ecklonia maxima

Published: August 2024

Abstract

Ecklonia maxima is an endemic South African seaweed with numerous commercially valuable compounds, including sodium alginate. This polysaccharide contains 1,4-linked β-d-mannuronic (M) and α-l-guluronic acid (G) residues, and has enormous health and food applications and benefits for biomedicine. In this study, acid extraction of sodium alginate from Ecklonia maxima was performed, and its chemical and physical properties were compared with commercial sodium alginate. A yield of 58.7 % (w/w of dry alga) sodium alginate was recovered from the seaweed. As expected, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic analyses of sodium alginate revealed the presence of M and G residues in the polysaccharide. Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy revealed an M/G ratio of 1.86 from the extracted sodium alginate. The viscosity average molecular weight of sodium alginate was 429 kDa using the Mark–Houwink–Sakurada equation. Three-dimensional conformational analysis by Congo red and CD spectroscopy suggested that sodium alginate exhibits a triple-helix conformation in solution. Furthermore, X-ray powder diffraction analysis confirmed that the alginate has an amorphous structure. Sodium alginate extracted from E. maxima found on the coasts of Southern Africa exhibits a high mannuronic content and high viscosity, potentially beneficial for drug delivery and biomedical applications.
Copeptin as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in pediatric diseases
Authors: Shu Xiaoli , Cai Fengqing , Li Wei , Shen Hongqiang 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Arginine vasopressin (AVP) plays a main role in maintaining the homeostasis of fluid balance and vascular tone and in regulating the endocrine stress response in response to osmotic, hemodynamic and stress stimuli. However, the difficulty in measuring AVP limits its clinical application. Copeptin, the C-terminal part of the AVP precursor, is released in an equimolar concentration mode with AVP from the pituitary but is more stable and simple to measure. Therefore, copeptin has emerged as a promising surrogate marker of AVP with excellent potential for the diagnosis, differentiation and prognosis of various diseases in recent decades. However, its application requires further validation, especially in the pediatric population. This review focuses on the clinical value of copeptin in different pediatric diseases and the prospects for its application as a potential biomarker.
A Militant Bride: Gender-Loaded Metaphors in Jerome’s Writings to Ascetic Men and Women
Authors: Pålsson Katarina 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
This article examines Jerome’s use of bridal and military imagery in his writings to male and female ascetics. The metaphor of the “bride” and the “soldier” had been used in earlier Christianity to describe the Christian identity of the baptized person, and in the writings of Jerome and other fourth-century ascetic writers, these motifs came to be increasingly employed in discourses on the ascetic life. While previous scholarship has claimed that Jerome mainly used the image of the bride in descriptions of and advise to ascetic women, and military imagery in writings to and about men, the article argues that his employment of these imageries was more complex. It is shown that while the bridal metaphor signals femininity and passivity, and the soldier metaphor manliness and activity, Jerome’s employment of them does not depend first and foremost on the gender of the ascetic. Rather, both images are used to support certain aspects of his theology – mainly his ideas about the postlapsarian, fleshly condition and the human possibility of transcendence – as well as his ascetic ideology, by marking the ascetics as superior to non-ascetics through their unique relationship with Christ.
Computerized simulation of 2-dimensional phase contrast images using spiral phase plates in neutron interferometry
Authors: Treimer Wolfgang , Haußer Frank , Suda Martin 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
We present calculations of interferograms (interference patterns) of one or multiple spiral phase plates that would be observed with a perfect crystal neutron interferometer of Mach–Zehnder type. A spiral phase plate (SPP) in one of the two coherent beam paths produces a twist in the phase front and thus a vortex beam with intrinsic angular momentum, which in the case of neutrons should be observed as a characteristic interference pattern that appears complementary to each other in both detectors behind the interferometer. Adding additional SPPs in one beam path of the interferometer yield interference patterns similar to that of a single SPP but only due to the cumulative step height. All simulated interferograms have been calculated on the basis of dynamical neutron diffraction without any assumption of a neutron orbital angular momentum and show very convincing agreement with experimental results from the literature, see e.g. (C. W. Clark, R. Barankov, M. G. Huber, M. Arif, D. G. Cory, and D. A. Pushin, “Controlling neutron orbital angular momentum,” Nature, vol. 525, pp. 504–506, 2015). In particular, this clarifies, that the cited experiments do not give evidence of the quantization of interactions caused by a twist of the phase front of a neutron wave in the interferometer and thus no evidence for the effect of a neutron orbital angular momentum.

VERTEBRATE FOSSIL PERMINERALIZATION IN A SEQUENCE STRATIGRAPHIC CONTEXT: CAPSULES OF EARLY DIAGENESIS FROM SHALLOW-MARINE SILICICLASTICS (EOCENE, EGYPT)
Authors: LAKER RACHEL M. 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Understanding the drivers of vertebrate fossil preservation is important for paleontologists who rely on well-preserved fossils to study the biological or ecological context of the fauna they represent. Differences in preservation limit the ability to compare biological or ecological change across time. Bones, however, can contain clues of their preservational history: natural voids in skeletal remains are potential sites of mineral precipitation during early and late diagenesis, and the reactive bioapatite provides chemical and physical signals of the post-mortem environment. The sensitivity of both infilling minerals and taphonomic alteration to the post-mortem environment has yet to be tested in the fossil record. Bones associated with discontinuity surfaces such as hiatal flooding surfaces and erosional sequence boundaries should face prolonged exposure at the sediment-water interface and/or within the surface mixed layer, increasing the opportunity for modification by taphonomic processes and geochemically disparate (redox) conditions, compared with bones from facies within aggradational intervals, where burial is most likely to be rapid and immediately permanent. µXRF and thin-section-based petrographic analysis of marine mammal bones from the famously fossiliferous Eocene siliciclastics of Wadi al-Hitan, Egypt, reveal strong variation with stratigraphic position: bones found along the sequence boundary show Fe-oxide linings and evidence of desiccation and subaerial exposure, distinct from bones of other settings; a bone from the maximum flooding surface uniquely lacks calcite but has brecciated cancellous bone; bones from systems tracts are variable in the extent of infill but show calcite microfacies consistent with exclusively subaqueous and specifically shallow marine deposition. Early diagenetic signatures were preserved despite many fossil specimens being strongly fractured and infilled by gypsum precipitated during weathering. Bones and their abundant pore space thus acted as time-capsules of early diagenetic conditions, retaining authigenic minerals and other microtaphonomic features linked to their original (Eocene) depositional context.

Published: August 2024

Voice of Baceprot (VoB) stands out as an oase in the midst of the dwindling presence of heavy metal bands in Indonesia. The band had a rapid increase in popularity when the public was presented with its members wearing hijabs. Within a little timeframe, this band swiftly gained global attention. This study aims to analyse the appearance and stage performance of the heavy metal band VoB, focusing on the perspectives of female students from Generation Z at two distinct types of Islamic boarding schools: traditional and modern. This study employed descriptive methodologies with qualitative approach. In order to enhance this research, the reception analysis technique developed by Stuart Hall was employed to ascertain the perspective of each informant in viewing VoB's performance, encompassing both verbal and non-verbal communication. The data collection encompasses interviews, observation, and literature review. Research indicates that female students at Traditional Islamic Boarding Schools differ from those at Modern Islamic Boarding Schools in terms of personal beliefs, values, and educational backgrounds. Traditional Islamic boarding schools have more open, whilst Modern Islamic boarding schools are more rigorous.

Hatchery performance of Pacific white shrimp, Penaeus vannamei in biofloc technology by using different carbon sources
Authors: Suneetha Kola 
Published: August 2024

Abstract

The present study assessed the hatchery performance of Penaeus vannamei between the mysis 1 and postlarva 10 stages, in a zero-exchange biofloc system under three treatments with different carbon sources, fructose, lactose, and dextrose, in a 15:1 fixed C:N ratio with a stocking density of 100 L-1 along with control treatment. The study used a stocking density of 100 L-1. Water quality and survival performance were compared among treatments. The results revealed that adequate water quality parameters were more appropriate for production in the BFT treatment than in the control, and analysis of variance revealed that there were no significant differences in dissolved oxygen (DO), salinity, pH, TAN, and NH3-N among the treatment groups (P > 0.05). Survival was significantly greater in the BFT treatment group than in the control group. Dextrose exhibited the highest survival rate for PL1 at 93%, followed by fructose at 88.67% and lactose at 86.33%, while the control group had the lowest survival rate at 79.33% (P > 0.05). For PL5 and PL10, the survival rates were 90.67%, 85.67%, 78.33%, and 66.67% (P < 0.05) for dextrose, fructose, lactose, and the control, respectively. The study concluded that dextrose is the most effective carbon source for maintaining the hatchery system.

Published: August 2024

Abstract

Background
Persistent patency of the ductus arteriosus (PDA) has challenged neonatologists for more than 40 years. Controversies persist about the management of PDA in extremely preterm infants. PDA is associated with morbidities but no therapeutic strategy has resulted in an improved neonatal outcome. Acetaminophen appears to be a promising alternative with possibly fewer adverse effects. The primary objective is to determine whether a prophylactic pharmacological intervention with acetaminophen, may increase the survival without severe morbidity at postmenstrual age of 36 weeks.
Methods and analysis
TREOCAPA Phase III is a randomized, multicenter, double-blind, stratified, placebo-controlled superiority trial, two arms in a 1:1 ratio performed in 43 NICUs of 14 European countries and evaluating whether the intervention increases the survival without severe morbidity by 10 percent until the age of 36 postmenstrual weeks. Patients eligible for inclusion are preterm infants with a gestational age between 23 and 28 weeks. In acetaminophen group, 20 mg/kg loading dose within 12 hours after birth, followed by 7.5 mg/kg quarter in die (QID) for 5 days will be administered to the 27–28 weeks gestational age group, and 25 mg/kg loading dose then 10 mg/kg QID to the 23–26 weeks gestational age group. The severe morbidities include severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD Grade 3) according to NIH consensus, necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) of Bell's stage II or III, intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) grade III-IV according to Papille classification or cystic leukomalacia.
Discussion
Whatever the results, the conclusions of this study should be informative for the neonatal scientific community: Secondary effects of aceminotophen or not? Prophylactic treatment of PDA useful or not?
Ethics and dissemination
Ethical approval of the trial has been performed in each of the 14 countries after approval, at the European level, by the Voluntary Harmonization Procedure committee on 04/07/2020. Results will be disseminated through articles in peer-reviewed journals.
