Precarious Industrial Labour at the Edge of the European Union: The Case of Baia Mare
Authors: Perneș Raluca 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Tens of thousands of labourers work in the factories in and around Baia Mare, a city that is being reindustrialized after an initial industrialization under state socialism. In 2021, most workers were being paid about 280 euro a month, as companies were aiming to achieve the lowest possible production costs while remaining within the European Union. Workers and their families, unable to make do on their low wages alone, constantly scramble for means to supplement their income. Many work overtime systematically; some choose to migrate for work abroad for a few months every year; yet others quit their factory jobs for more lucrative opportunities during the summers, only to return to the factories in the autumn. In this paper, I look at the industrial history of Baia Mare and the work lives of labourers to understand how the workers in the region were impacted by the politics of dispossession. I use two complementary lenses: on the one hand, I understand their position at the junction of global, national, and local forces; on the other hand, I underline the ways in which this specific case speaks to the workings of global capital, not as an exception, but as one of many interconnected stories of human experience.
Reindustrialization and Transnational Labour Regimes in Maramureș County: Between National Deregulation and Export-Dependence
Authors: Mihály Zoltán , Földes Ionuț 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
The paper examines Maramureș County’s labour regime and describes its transformation from a heavily unionized formation under socialism to today’s deregulated, transnational condition. The region’s former mining cluster and current furniture production hub are posited as sectoral focal points. Union militantism prevented the mining sector’s accelerated decline in the 1990s, but liberalisation and conformity with the European Union’s regulatory frameworks gradually eroded labour rights and shifted the region’s economic profile to export-oriented sectors. Among these, domestic and foreign furniture manufacturers emerged as dominant economic actors in the early 2000s. While the county is well-known for its wood processing, the companies in question tap into IKEA’s global production network and employ low-cost, flexible labour in just-in-time supply schedules. Recent developments include the use of immigrant agency workers as a solution to the county’s skilled and unskilled labour shortage.
Airplane Parts and Covid Masks: Labour Commuters of North-Western Romania Between Central and Eastern European “Re-Industrialisation” and the Global Market
Authors: Ferenț Andreea 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This article aims to uncover two main features of ‘re-industrialisation’ in Central and Eastern Europe: the reconfiguration of the economic geography in Northwest Romania and the multiple ways in which the Romanian working class is being integrated into the new economy. Post-socialist shifts towards a low-skilled, flexible, and generally insecure economy have underlined the need for cheap, easily disposable labour, and the emergence of the new economic geography has changed the accumulation of capital in the region and the patterns of labour mobility. Despite massive migration, many have continued to work in the region or have combined migration periods with work close to home. This study explores the different mobilities individuals engage in and seeks to understand why some workers choose to stay and live in the region and how the available opportunities for workers aiming to stay in the region influence their prospects. This study traces the patterns of labour commuting and how this is structured by individuals’ strategies and motivations, as well as the social relationships that support this work. The article analyses labour commuting to two major industrial hubs in the region: one which manufactures aerospace components, and one that produces medical textiles. Both companies are foreign-owned and concentrate a significant proportion of the region’s workforce. The micro-dynamics revealed will contribute to understanding the patterns of work in the specific form of re-industrialisation in contemporary Romania.
Racialized Housing and Proletarization Policies as Internal Socialist Contradictions: Roma Relocations Between 1975-1989 in Baia Mare, Romania
Authors: Zamfir George Iulian 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
The emergence of the ghetto as an urban social formation is regularly conveyed as a specific neoliberal capitalist product. Based on interviews with inhabitants and policymakers and archival data covering more than two decades, this article brings another dimension to the debates on ghetto formation. It traces the urban spatial politics of managing and containing Roma communities in the Romanian NW city of Baia Mare from the late 1970s until 1989. To this aim, it uncovers the debates and decisions regarding the last stages of socialist urban systematization focused on Hatvan, a Roma neighbourhood, and the subsequent relocation projects. Initially, the socialist administration aimed to assimilate the Roma population into the working class. However, a peculiar segregationist policy followed the failed experiment of expropriation and rehousing into low-quality apartments. In the early 1980s, authorities relocated most Roma in the newly built Vasile Alecsandri district to four new specifically designed apartment buildings nearby. The four blocks on Arieșului Street lacked central heating to prevent the accumulation of arrears – a materialization of the decade-long austerity policies. Other urban Roma were funnelled there as well, thus revealing the racialization policies assembled at the local level. . Just before 1990, Arieșului was abandoned, and many people decided to relocate in what became Craica, a ghetto that is still in existence today.

Published: June 2024

Objetivo: Investigar a importância da busca ativa do parceiro no tratamento da sífilis gestacional, e descrever os desfechos de gestantes com sífilis com parceiro tratado e não tratado. Métodos: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura de artigos publicados entre 2015 a 2020 nas bases de dados Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), Web of Science, PubMed, EMBASE, Science Direct e Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciElo) nos idiomas inglês, português e espanhol com os seguintes Descritores em Ciências da Saúde: syphilis, couple infection, treatment, e adverse pregnancy outcomes. Resultados: Dezoito artigos foram selecionados e foram identificadas 9257 gestantes com sífilis gestacional e apenas 1673 (24%) dos parceiros foram tratados. Os principais desfechos foram pré-termo (34%), natimorto (27%) e pequeno para a idade gestacional (20%). O tratamento foi considerado inadequado na maioria dos estudos. As estratégias para a busca do comunicante foram o uso do cartão de notificação (CN), CN mais um serviço de mensagens curtas ou CN mais contato telefônico. Considerações finais: É necessário empreender esforços para melhorar a comunicação sobre a doença, dar suporte à gestante para comunicar ao parceiro, melhorar o acesso a um serviço de saúde de qualidade e acompanhar os envolvidos buscando assegurar o tratamento e a confirmação da cura.

Objetivo: Verificar o conhecimento dos profissionais de um pronto-socorro acerca das indicações e contraindicações para restrição de movimento da coluna (RMC). Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo exploratório, descritivo de abordagem quantitativa realizado em um hospital de urgência e trauma na cidade de Goiânia, Brasil, em junho de 2023. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de um questionário estruturado abordando indicações e contraindicações de RMC descritas na 10ª edição do Prehospital Trauma Life Support (PHTLS). Resultados: A amostra do estudo foi composta por 42 profissionais, sendo 11,9% fisioterapeutas, 23,8% enfermeiros e 64,3% médicos. A maior frequência de erro das respostas obtidas no questionário em relação às indicações e contraindicações de RMC foi no item “trauma penetrante na cabeça” com 76,2% e a maior frequência de acerto foi visto no item “dor e/ou hipersensibilidade na linha média da coluna vertebral”, verificando uma média de acertos de 69,5% do questionário aplicado. Conclusão: Os achados demonstram que a maior dúvida dos profissionais se encontra na situação de trauma penetrante na cabeça, sendo uma necessidade a elaboração de protocolo referente a RMC em ambientes de urgência e trauma, além de capacitações contínuas para melhor desfecho clínico dos pacientes atendidos pelos profissionais.
Cold urticaria in tropics: A clinico-epidemiological study from North India
Authors: Mehta Hitaishi , Janaani P , Vinay Keshavamurthy , Bishnoi Anuradha , Parsad Davinder , Kumaran Muthu Sendhil 
Published: June 2024

Background
Cold urticaria (ColdU) is classified as a subtype of chronic inducible urticaria characterised by recurring pruritic wheals and/or angioedema upon exposure to cold stimuli. However, very limited data is available on ColdU specifically among Indians.

Objectives
The aim of this study was to describe the clinico-epidemiological characteristics and treatment response in North Indian patients diagnosed with ColdU.

Materials and Methods
The clinical records of patients diagnosed with ColdU past 5 years (January 2018 to December 2022) were retrospectively reviewed. Data including patient demographics, clinical manifestations, comorbidities, laboratory findings, and treatment response were collected and analysed.

Results
Among the 1780 urticaria patients included in our study, only 15 cases of cold-induced urticaria were identified. ColdU was classified as typical in all but three patients. The mean age of affected individuals was 36 ± 18 years (20–65 years) and eight patients (53.3%) were males. Mean disease duration at presentation was 18 ± 27 months (3 months–4 years). Two patients experienced cold-induced angioedema and one patient had hypotensive episodes following cold exposure. Twelve patients demonstrated positive results in the ice cube provocation test. Of 15, only 6 (40%) achieved complete control of symptoms with standard dosing of second generation anti-histamines while six patients (40%) required titration to higher doses and three patients (20%) were initiated on cyclosporine therapy, resulting in remission.

Limitations
Retrospective study design and possibility of selection bias.

Conclusion
Due to India’s predominantly tropical climate, ColdU prevails at lower levels compared to the western regions. ColdU is likely underdiagnosed in India, possibly dismissed as chronic spontaneous urticaria. The management of ColdU involves a combination of protective measures against cold exposure and the use of anti-histamines to control disease activity. This retrospective study provides valuable insights into the clinico-epidemiological characteristics and treatment response of north Indian patients with ColdU.
Peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis from Burkholderia pseudomallei infection (Melioidosis) of northeast Thailand
Authors: Waramit Sirayut 
Published: June 2024

Objectives:
Melioidosis is an uncommon cause of peritonitis in patients with end-stage renal disease who are receiving continuing peritoneal dialysis. This study aims to investigate the prevalence and outcome of peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis due to Burkholderia pseudomallei infection.

Materials and Methods:
A retrospective cohort study of melioidosis infection between 2018 and 2022, peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis in cases with end-stage renal failure was collected. The patients’ demographics, clinical characteristics, and treatments were described.

Results:
Of the 194 cases diagnosed with peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis, there were 7 patients (3.6%) with melioidosis peritonitis. The patients’ mean age was 51.1 ± 9.44 years old, range of 40–65. Diabetes (5 cases, 71.4%) and hypertension (7 cases, 100%) were the most common co-morbidities. Six cases (85.7%) had fever, 5 (71.4%) had hazy dialysate, and everyone had abdominal pain as clinical signs. Associated septicemia was observed in 5 (71.4%) cases. As part of their antibiotic therapy, meropenem was given to 1 (14.3%) and ceftazidime to 6 (85.7%) cases. Six cases (85.7%) received intravenous antibiotics, whereas 1 (14.3%) case received both intravenous and intraperitoneal routes. The catheters were removed; then, hemodialysis sessions of 5 (71.4%) cases were initiated. Hemodialysis mode was switched permanently in 3 (42.9%) cases and temporarily in one case, thereafter, peritoneal dialysis was resumed. 3 (42.9%) cases died. No significant relations were found about risk factors between survivor and non-survivor group (P < 0.05).

Conclusion:
Peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis due to melioidosis is uncommon. However, it may be accompanied by catheter loss and can be lethal if untreated as systemic melioidosis.
Diversity, structure and dynamics of tropical montane forests: Insights from permanent-plot monitoring in the Venezuelan Andes

Published: June 2024

Tropical montane forests in the Andes are hotspots for species diversity and constitute important ecosystems for the provision of numerous services critical for local populations, including biomass/carbon accumulation and hydrological regulation. Additionally, in many countries in the region, these forests are being lost or degraded at alarming rates. Understanding their dynamics in terms of the composition, diversity, structure and function is a key challenge in the region that can inform policies for their sustainable management and conservation. This study focused on the use of monitoring data from ground-based permanent plots (part of the Andean Forest Network) in the two main mountain ranges of the Venezuelan Andes to analyze forest structure, diversity and dynamics over six years (2016-2023), and their potential drivers. We found that although the we�er forests of La Mucuy (northeast) and the more seasonal stands of San Eusebio (northwest) are very similar in terms of overall species richness, they show substantial differences in their species assemblages and their biogeographic origins. Both sites share similarities in tree dispersal strategies and stem turnover rates (mean=1.16%/year), but forests in La Mucuy are significantly more productive, with a mean annual woody productivity rate of 3.09±1.42 Mg C.ha-1.y-1, while this rate was 0.73±0.48 Mg C.ha-1.y-1 in SEU plots. Interestingly, although species richness and composition has not shown significant changes during this 6-year period, both sites have increased their total aboveground biomass, acting as a significant carbon sink, which appears to be largely driven by the growth of large trees in these forests. These results emphasize the need of maintaining long-term monitoring efforts to be able to link more explicitly changes in composition, biodiversity and ecosystem services with changes in environmental drivers under climate change scenarios.
Direct oral anticoagulants in patients with atrial fibrillation and valvular heart disease
Authors: Грибкова И.В. 
Published: June 2024

Введение. Прямые пероральные антикоагулянты (ПОАК) все чаще используются вместо варфарина у пациентов с фибрилляцией предсердий (ФП), однако эффективность и безопасность их применения при наличии пороков сердца не вполне очевидна. Результаты рандомизированных исследований показали более высокую эффективность ПОАК по сравнению с варфарином для предотвращения инсульта или системной эмболии у больных с неклапанной ФП. Тем не менее у большинства пациентов с ФП имеется тот или иной вид клапанной патологии. Поэтому важно понимать, при каких пороках сердца существует возможность применения ПОАК, а при каких необходима терапия антагонистами витамина К. Цель: анализ и систематизация результатов последних научных исследований, доступных в международных базах данных, изучавших эффективность и безопасность применения ПОАК у пациентов с ФП и пороками сердца. Результаты. Представлены результаты применения ПОАК у пациентов с ФП и с аортальным стенозом или регургитацией, митральным стенозом или регургитацией, стенозом трикуспидального клапана или регургитацией, биопротезами клапанов сердца, с умеренным или тяжелым митральным стенозом. Заключение. ПОАК могут быть предпочтительными для профилактики инсульта у паци­ентов с ФП и различными пороками сердца. Однако возможность их применения при некоторых клапанных патологиях на настоящий момент не доказана.
Introduction. Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are being increasingly used in place of warfarin in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), but their efficacy and safety in patients with valvular heart disease is unclear. The results of randomized trials have shown a superior efficacy of DOACs compared with warfarin in preventing stroke or systemic embolism in patients with non-valvular AF. However, most patients with AF have some form of valvular disease. Therefore, it is crucial to understand which heart defects allow for the use of DOACs and which require therapy with vitamin K antagonists. Aim: to analyze and systematize the results of recent scientific studies available in international databases that have investigated the efficacy and safety of DOACs in patients with AF and valvular heart disease. Results. The review presents the results of using DOACs in patients with AF and aortic stenosis or regurgitation, mitral stenosis or regurgitation, tricuspid valve stenosis or regurgitation, heart valve bioprostheses, as well as in patients with moderate or severe mitral stenosis. Conclusion. DOACs may be a better option for stroke prevention in patients with AF and various heart conditions. However, it has not been established whether they are effective in treating certain valvular pathologies.

В статье описан случай редко встречающегося заболевания Рандю–Ослера–Вебера, основным патогенетическим механизмом которого являются генетически детерминированные анатомические и функциональные изменения сосудов: отсутствие или дегенерация, гипоплазия, дисплазия мышечной и эластической оболочек. Особенностью данного случая является наличие заболевания у беременной. Представлен анамнез заболевания с детства, данные лабораторно-инструментального обследования в стационаре, ведение родов, анестезии с учетом данной патологии. Тщательное исследование показателей гемостаза, патогенетически оправданное применение медикаментозных препаратов позволило избежать лучевой нагрузки инструментальных методов исследования, выбрать безопасный, оптимальный для данной пациентки способ родоразрешения и анестезии.
The article describes a case of Rendu–Osler–Weber disease, a rare condition caused by genetically determined anatomical and functional changes in blood vessels. These changes include absence or degeneration, hypoplasia and dysplasia of the muscular and elastic membranes. This case is unique due to the disease being present in a pregnant woman. This paper includes the patient’s medical history from childhood, as well as data from laboratory and instrumental examinations conducted in the hospital. Additionally, the paper covers the management of childbirth and anesthesia, taking into account the patient’s medical condition. A comprehensive examination of hemostasis and the pathogenetically justified use of medications made it possible to avoid radiation exposure from instrumental research methods and to choose a safe, optimal method of delivery and anesthesia for this patient.

Эссенциальная тромбоцитемия (ЭТ) – редкое заболевание крови, связанное с различными тромбогеморрагическими осложнениями. Представлен клинический случай пациентки с ЭТ, открытым овальным окном, на фоне которых развились транзиторные ишемические атаки. Как при ЭТ, так и приоткрытом овальном окне могут присутствовать сопутствующие факторы риска развития тромбозов различных локализаций, в том числе артерий головного мозга, которые подтверждают необходимость проведения детального скрининга у пациентов молодого возраста в данной когорте.
Essential thrombocythemia (ЕТ) is a rare blood disorder associated with various thrombotic events. We present a clinical case of a female patient with ET, a patent foramen ovale, and transient ischemic attacks. In both ET and a patent foramen ovale, there may be concomitant risk factors for the development of thrombosis in various locations, including cerebral arteries. This highlights the need for detailed screening in young patients in this cohort.
Mechanisms of Helicobacter pylori Resistance to Antibiotics
Authors: Yahya Al-Jumaily, Asma , Sajid Al-jubori Sawsan 
Published: June 2024

Background: Helicobacter pylori is the most frequent human bacterial infection worldwide; it is prevalent in approximately half of the world's population. H.pylori poses a major health risk because it possesses distinct virulence factors and highly resistant to antibiotics. Multidrug resistance (MDR) and single-drug resistance are two distinct resistance profiles. Chromosome mutations influence antibiotic activity via target-mediated pathways. Inadequate drug absorption, efflux pumps activity, biofilm development, and cocci formation represent supplementary biological mechanisms by which H.pylori acquires drug resistance. The overexpression of efflux pumps genes in mutant isolates is readily detectable in post-therapy courses.
Objective: Characterization of the biological and molecular mechanisms contributing to the development of antibiotic resistance in H.pylori.
Conclusion: An alarming rate of drug-resistant H.pylori is on the rise. Primary and acquired resistance to clarithromycin and metronidazole has increased globally. Bacterial factors including biofilms, efflux pumps, and molecular mechanism are in association with H.pylori resistance. It is important to continue to monitor the resistance profiles of H.pylori isolates.
