Este artigo tem por objetivo avaliar os aspectos clínicos do câncer de próstata realizada nos últimos cinco anos. Revisão integrativa no banco de dados da BVS, LILACS, SciELO, PubMed de trabalhos publicados entre 2020 e 2024, combinando os descritores "câncer de próstata", "diagnóstico" e "tratamento". No Brasil, o câncer de próstata é o segundo mais comum entre os homens (atrás apenas do câncer de pele não melanoma). Em valores absolutos e considerando ambos os sexos, é o segundo tipo mais comum. Conclui-se que achados no exame clínico (toque retal) combinados com o resultado da dosagem do antígeno prostático específico no sangue podem sugerir a existência da doença. O tratamento depende do estadiamento da doença, da idade e do estado geral de saúde do paciente

O Parque Estadual Serra da Boa Esperança (PESBE) foi criado em 2007 e encontra-se na área ecotonal de Cerrado e Mata Atlântica, dois hotspots de conservação mundial. Localizado na região sul do estado de Minas Gerais e Ã s margens da hidrelétrica de Furnas, a Serra da Boa Esperança é considerada como um Patrimônio Natural. Estudos vêm sendo desenvolvidos no parque e este é o primeiro sobre a mastofauna de médio e grande porte, o que trará maior conhecimento sobre as espécies em unidades de conservação de Minas Gerais e auxiliará no preenchimento de lacunas sobre a riqueza de regiões ecotonais. Este estudo objetivou inventariar a mastofauna de médio e grande porte do PESBE e parte de seu entorno. Os métodos de coleta incluíram armadilhas fotográficas, busca de vestígios, avistamentos e relatos de funcionários em que foram amostradas 29 localidades. Foi criada uma curva do coletor e de riqueza estimada pelo estimador Jackknife de 1a ordem. Foram registradas 16 espécies nativas e três exóticas, representando 71% da riqueza estimada, incluindo exóticas. A composição de mamíferos mostra espécies relevantes e ameaçadas de extinção como mesopredadores e predadores de topo de cadeia. A baixa quantidade de Unidades de Conservação e outras áreas naturais em conectividade com o PESBE e a alta fragmentação tornam a área um local de refúgio para a mastofauna.Â

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i or SGLT2 inhibitors) have a distinctive mechanism of action unrelated to insulin secretion or action. By causing glucosuria, they reduce plasma glucose by inhibiting SGLT2 in the proximal tubules of the kidneys. This mechanism of action corrects several metabolic abnormalities, which are, in fact, CVD risks in addition to normoglycemia. This study was conducted to assess the average change in ejection fraction resulting from the use of SGLT2 inhibitors in enhancing cardiac function in patients with Diabetes Mellitus and ischemic heart disease.
METHODOLOGY: This is a descriptive case series conducted from 10th December 2022 to 9th May 2023 in the Department of Medicine, Faisalabad Medical University; 435 type II diabetes mellitus patients were selected, according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. All received a daily dose of 20 mg of SGLT2 for three months. Echocardiography was done before and after the treatment period left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) was evaluated, and improvement in cardiac function was noted.
RESULTS: In this study, the mean age of participants was 46.54±8.52 years. 314 (72.18%), or the majority, were between 30 and 50. The male-to-female ratio was 1.1:1, with 228 (52.41%) men and 207 (47.59%) women. The mean ejection fraction at baseline was 53.45 ± 4.12. The mean change in ejection fraction of SGLT2 inhibitors in improving cardiac functions among patients having Diabetes Mellitus and ischemic heart disease was 50.79 ± 3.76.( p-value ≤0.001).
CONCLUSION: SGLT2 inhibitors effectively improve cardiac functions among patients with Diabetes Mellitus type II and ischemic heart insult
Emotional intelligence as a personal factor in the effectiveness of male and female managers
Authors: Тоболевич О.А. 
Published: August 2024

В статье рассматриваются проблемы исследования эмоционального интеллекта личности как одной из характеристик ее эмоционально-волевой сферы, которая представляет собой способность осознавать, распознавать, понимать свои и чужие эмоции, управлять ими, воздействовать на них, понимать причины и следствия эмоций и использовать эти знания в общении и профессиональной деятельности. Дан развернутый анализ становления понятия «эмоциональный интеллект» в зарубежной и отечественной психологии, рассмотрены его структурные элементы, определено значение эмоционального интеллекта для профессиональной деятельности. Кратко представлены результаты эмпирического исследования половых особенностей проявления эмоционального интеллекта у руководителей, показавшие, что руководители женского пола в большей степени, чем мужского, были способны понимать свои эмоции, а также эмоции других людей, проявлять отзывчивость, открытость и гибкость во взаимодействии с подчиненными, обращать внимание на свои эмоциональные состояния, в то время как мужчины-руководители испытывали значительные затруднения в идентификации и оценке своих эмоциональных состояний, а в ситуациях, когда им приходилось принимать во внимание свое эмоциональное состояние, они переставали понимать чувства и переживания подчиненных, концентрируясь на своих эмоциях. Результаты проведенного эмпирического исследования могут быть полезны в работе по развитию профессионально значимых качеств личности руководителя, в частности эмоционального интеллекта.
The article examines the problems of studying the emotional intelligence of an individual as one of the characteristics of his emotional-volitional sphere, which is the ability to recognize, understand one's own and other people’s emotions, manage them, influence them, understand the causes and consequences of emotions and use this knowledge in communication and professional activities. A detailed analysis of the development of the concept of “emotional intelligence” in foreign and Russian psychology is given, its structural elements are considered, and the significance of emotional intelligence for professional activity is determined. The results of an empirical study of gender-specific manifestations of emotional intelligence in managers are briefly presented, showing that female managers were more capable of understanding their own emotions, as well as the emotions of other people, showing responsiveness, openness, and flexibility in interaction with subordinates, paying attention to their emotional states, while male managers experienced significant difficulties in identifying and assessing their emotional states, and in situations where they had to take into account their emotional state, they ceased to understand the feelings and experiences of their subordinates, concentrating on their own emotions. The results of the conducted empirical study can be useful in development of professionally significant qualities of the personality of a manager, in particular emotional intelligence.
Planet Formation Regulated by Galactic-scale Interstellar Turbulence
Authors: Winter Andrew J. , Benisty Myriam , Andrews Sean M. 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Planet formation occurs over a few Myr within protoplanetary disks of dust and gas, which are often assumed to evolve in isolation. However, extended gaseous structures have been uncovered around many protoplanetary disks, suggestive of late-stage infall from the interstellar medium (ISM). To quantify the prevalence of late-stage infall, we apply an excursion set formalism to track the local density and relative velocity of the ISM over the disk lifetime. We then combine the theoretical Bondi–Hoyle–Lyttleton (BHL) accretion rate with a simple disk evolution model, anchoring stellar accretion timescales to observational constraints. Disk lifetimes, masses, stellar accretion rates, and gaseous outer radii as a function of stellar mass and age are remarkably well reproduced by our simple model that includes only ISM accretion. We estimate that 20%−70% of disks may be mostly composed of material accreted in the most recent half of their lifetime, suggesting that disk properties are not a direct test of isolated evolution models. Our calculations indicate that BHL accretion can also supply sufficient energy to drive turbulence in the outer regions of protoplanetary disks with viscous α
SS ∼ 10−5 to 10−1, although we emphasize that angular momentum transport and particularly accretion onto the star may still be driven by internal processes. Our simple approach can be easily applied to semianalytic models. Our results represent a compelling case for regulation of planet formation by large-scale turbulence, with broad consequences for planet formation theory. This possibility urgently motivates deep observational surveys to confirm or refute our findings.
Women’s experiences with continuity for effective coordination during maternal and neonatal continuum in Kenya: An interpretive phenomenology
Authors: Wainaina Grace M. , Kaura Doreen K. 
Published: August 2024

Background: Embracing women’s experiences in decision-making is imperative for continuity in effective coordination of maternal and neonatal health (MNH); women are the end users within the care ecosystem. Through women’s continuous feedback, skilled birth attendants (SBAs) and the healthcare system get to understand emerging issues based on their needs and preferences.Aim: The purpose of this article is to describe women’s experiences of continuity for effective coordination of care through the transitions in the MNH continuum in Kenya.Setting: The study was conducted in selected counties of Kenya based on birth rates per woman as follows: Wajir (7.8) Narok (6.0) Kirinyaga (2.3) and Nairobi (2.7) (1). The clients were interviewed concerning their experiences of the MNH continuum of care in English and Kiswahili.Methods: An interpretive hermeneutic phenomenological approach was used to construct the experiences of women of continuity during transitions in the MNH continuum for effective care coordination. Twelve participants were interviewed between January and April 2023. Atlas ti 22 software was used for data analysis.Results: Four women experiences were highlighted: Women unawareness of preconception care, use of prenatal care, labour, birthing and postpartum flow and the women’s view on the MNH continuum.Conclusion: The women reported their segmental and transitional experience of the MNH continuum as one that did not consistently meet their needs and preferences in order for them to fully agree that the continuum enhanced continuity for effective coordination. They felt that they experienced continuity in some segments while in some they did not.Contribution: The embrace of women’s experience of their needs and preferences through the MNH continuum (segments and transitional segments) through the lens of continuity for effective coordination is timely towards the improvement of maternal and neonatal care by 2030.
The composition of listed family firm boards in South Africa: Alignment to best practices and governance codes
Authors: Dos Santos Gabriela , Viviers Suzette , Venter Elmarie 
Published: August 2024

Purpose: As elsewhere in the world, family firms (FFs) play a critical role in the South African economy. There is, however, scant research on how, if at all, listed South African FFs differ from their non-family counterparts concerning board composition and independence. The purpose of this study was to address this knowledge gap by investigating director and chair independence, chair-chief executive officer (CEO) role duality, board race and gender diversity, as well as board rotation at FFs listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) over the period 2006 to 2022. The study was informed by the agency, socioemotional wealth, and stewardship theories.Design/methodology/approach: Data were collected on 753 directors who served on the boards of 37 JSE-listed FFs. Data sources included Bloomberg and the FFs’ integrated reports and websites. Data were analysed by examining trends in the considered variables over time.Findings/results: While family involvement at board level remained relatively constant, considerably fewer family members served as board chairs and CEOs towards the end of the research period. Board independence increased significantly over the research period.Practical implications: Shareholder activists’ requests for improved board governance of JSE-listed FFs seem justified. Activists should, however, also consider the benefits of family stewardship when evaluating director and chair independence in these firms. This study also identifies practical implications for nomination committees and investor education.Originality/value: The use of multiple theoretical lenses provides a balanced view of board governance at JSE-listed FFs. The study contributes to the scant body of knowledge on board composition and independence in listed FFs in South Africa, which will enable future FF research.
Does integrated talent management foster competitive advantage in higher education institutions?
Authors: Abiwu Lawrence , Martins Isabel 
Published: August 2024

Orientation: Today, industries and academic institutions across different continents, including those in South Africa, compete for the same talent, which presents the most valuable asset of an organisation. The surge in talent rivalry means that employers need to adopt strategies to distinguish themselves from their rivals.Research purpose: The aim of this study was to develop a conceptual model to better understand how talent management (TM) creates value for higher education institutions.Motivation for the study: Talent management research is primarily built around an exclusive approach to TM, yet how it works in practice and is implemented, conceived and developed in higher education, remains unclear. Hence, this study is needed to understand how integrated TM fosters competitive advantage in higher education institutions.Research approach/design and method: A quantitative research method was, by means of a questionnaire. Primary data were collected from 265 academics across three universities in South Africa. The data were analysed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences and Analysis of Moment Structures.Main findings: The results revealed that integrated TM practices (i.e. talent attraction, development and retention) positively contributed to sustainable competitive advantage of higher education institutions.Practical/managerial implications: The study provides a better understanding of the role of integrated TM in improving competitive advantage. Also, the study will help shape the policy-making process on TM in higher education institutions.Contribution/value-add: This study adds value to TM literature by designing a conceptual model for higher education institutions to achieve sustainable competitive advantage.
Validity of focal laser photocoagulation followed by a single intravitreal ranibizumab injection for retinal artery macroaneurysm
Authors: Ewais Wael A. , Ali Lamia S. , Nossair Ashraf A. 
Published: August 2024

Background
To evaluate safety and efficacy of dual focal laser (DFL) followed by a single intravitreal ranibizumab injection for exudative retinal artery macroaneurysms (RAM).

Methods
Retrospective review of records of eyes with RAM; treated between February 2012 and November 2020; was done, to collect and analyze the following data: Treatment details, features of RAM, associated retinal disease, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), central macular thickness (CMT), signs of RAM involution, and possible complications. We enrolled cases that had been treated by Direct and perilesional focal laser, followed by a single intravitreal ranibizumab injection a few days later, and had been followed-up for at least 6 months. Outcome measures included: change in BCVA, change in CMT, and complications.

Results
14 patients were enrolled. All cases were isolated RAM (without other retinal disease) with macular edema±hard exudates (100%). 12 cases (85.7%) were exudative, and 2 cases (14.3%) also had a hemorrhagic component (mixed type). Hemorrhagic macroaneurysms without exudation were not included in the study. RAM was fusiform in 12 cases (85.7%) and saccular in 2 cases (14.3%). RAM involved the upper temporal arcade in 10 cases (71.4%) and the lower temporal arcade in 4 cases (28.6%). RAM involved second order arteries in 10 cases (71.4%) and third order arteries in 4 cases (28.6%). Logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (LogMAR) BCVA improved from an initial 0.71±0.35 to 0.27±0.26 at final follow-up. CMT was reduced from 417±82 μ to 285±31 μ at final follow-up. The mean interval between laser and ranibizumab injection was 3.2±2.9 days. The mean follow-up duration was 8.0±2.6 months. Involution/thrombosis- fibrosis of RAM was induced in all cases (100%).

Conclusion
Combined dual focal laser coagulation and single intravitreal ranibizumab injection for RAM are safe and effective, and may eliminate the need for repeated intravitreal injections. Isolated exudative macroaneurysms may be suitable for this combined approach.

Published: August 2024

Purpose
To evaluate the effect of intrastromal injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (Anti-VEGF) on corneal neovascularization using spectral domain Optical coherence tomography angiography imaging (OCTA).

Patients and methods
This is a pilot study that was conducted on 10 eyes of 10 patients with corneal neovascularization who were planned for keratoplasty or after keratoplasty. Intrastromal injection of 5 mg/0.2 ml [2.5%] bevacizumab using a 30 Gauge needle was performed. OCTA was done 48 h before the injection, 1 week and 1 month after the injection. OCTA images were compared to evaluate the effect of Anti-VEGF on corneal neovascularization.

Results
Comparing the OCTA pictures with the preoperative period, at 1 week period, 9 cases have shown decreased corneal neovascularization, with only 1 case that has not changed and seemed to be unresponsive to the single injection of Anti-VEGF. At 1 month period, 8 cases re-vascularized again but none of them reached the preoperative level, 1 case had decreased vascularization (completely disappeared) and 1 case remained the same with no change.

Conclusion
A single injection of bevacizumab has a temporal effect on corneal neovascularization. No local or systemic complications have been noted. OCTA was able to visualize vessels in 3-D image, even under vascularized corneal scars. OCTA was able to recognize subtle changes in corneal neovascularization that were not visible by slit lamp.

Authors: Zaki Rania G.E. , Elshinawy Reham F. , Naguib Karim M. 
Published: August 2024

Aim of the study
The aim was to evaluate the level of awareness among parents and caregivers of visually impaired children.

Methods
This was a prospective cross-sectional study that was conducted on parents/caregivers of visually disabled children to assess their realization of visual impairment through a structured questionnaire.

Results
The respondents included 604 parents/caregivers of visually impaired children. The results revealed that 48% were mothers, 82.1% were college graduates, 26.4% were aware of the availability of visual impairment rehabilitation, 66.9% believed that early detection of the child visual impairment was family’s responsibility, and 57.1% thought that the environment plays a key role in forming these children’s personality. Overall, 93.4% agreed that the family’s culture and social awareness play a key role in avoiding psychological burden, 91.9% agreed that the proper awareness campaigns have a significant role in mitigation of the children’s psychological burden, and 91.9% agreed that these programs could have a positive effect of the children’s educational career. The primary source of information was through the ophthalmology clinic, as reported by 45.6% of participants. In addition, 84.9% believed that these children should join regular schools, and 96.2% agreed that providers of educational services should be trained. Moreover, 51.7% were aware of the presence of special schools for these children. Furthermore, 51.5% believed that with the help of the family and environment, children with visual impairment could adapt in the society, and 65.2% agreed that these children could lead an independent life.

Conclusion
Raising public awareness particularly among families about the childhood visual impairment is crucial to foster understanding and acceptance of children with visual impairment, so that they can face challenges, interact with community, adapt to their surrounding environment, and lead an independent life.
