Published: July 2024

Objective: To assess the H. pylori antibodies and stool antigens in paediatric patients with epigastric pain as well as the clinical implications of diagnosing H. pylori infection using these non-invasive methods.
Methods: A cross-sectional, observational study was conducted over a period of 12 months, from May 2023 to October 2023, at the Paediatric Department of Abbas Institute of Medical Sciences (AIMS), Muzaffarabad, AJK. Patients aged 5 to 12 years old, both genders, who presented with a history of epigastric pain for at least more than 30 days were included. A 5 ml venous blood sample was obtained for serological testing, and enzyme immunoassay (EIA) was used to detect immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies against H. pylori. Stool samples were collected for the stool antigen test (SAT), and tests were done using a commercially available monoclonal antibody-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit. A self-made study proforma was used for the data collection, and analysis of the data was done by SPSS version 26.
Results: Out of total study sample of 61, girls were in the majority (62.3% and boys were 37.7%, with an overall mean age of 8.60+3.35 years. Of the participants, 63.9% (39) tested positive for H. pylori antibodies, while 36.1% (22) tests were negative. For H. pylori antigens, 90.2% (55) of the children tested positive, whereas 9.8% (6) tested negative. Furthermore, the differences in H. pylori antibody and H. pylori antigen positivity based on gender and residential status, consumption of junk food, and sources of water were not statistically significant (p=0.>0.05).
Conclusion: The findings, with 63.9% testing positive for H. pylori antibodies and 90.2% for H. pylori antigens, underscore a notable prevalence of H. pylori infection among children with recurrent abdominal pain.

Published: July 2024

Este trabalho aborda a cartografia escolar e a ludicidade na educação geográfica, especialmente a partir de práticas com a "batalha cartográfica", na promoção do envolvimento dos alunos e na elaboração de conceitos geográficos em sala de aula. Nesse sentido, o objetivo deste artigo é apresentar a experiência formativa com a utilização da atividade “Batalha cartográfica” na elaboração do conhecimento geográfico com alunos do 6º ano do Ensino Fundamental. A questão norteadora dessa pesquisa é: Até que ponto a cartografia escolar e as atividades lúdicas envolvem os estudantes e auxilia na resolução de problemas associados a compreensão do espaço? A abordagem da pesquisa tem caráter qualitativo, com a utilização do dispositivo de aplicação de jogos com estudantes de 6º ano do ensino Fundamental do Colégio Municipal Dr. Pedro Catalão em Itajuípe - Ba. Os resultados apontam que a falta de conexão entre o conteúdo ensinado e a experiência de vida dos alunos pode gerar dificuldades de compreensão dos conceitos geográficos. A atividade "batalha cartográfica" quando introduzida como uma ferramenta didática e associada a cartografia, proporciona entretenimento, desafios intelectuais e interação social que contribuem significativamente no processo de ensino e aprendizagem.

Published: July 2024

Purpose: Trust in defense institutions is vital for national cohesion and national integration. For this purpose, the media dependency theory, video malaise theory, and virtuous circle theory are extended to propose a theoretical framework. Against this background, the objectives of the study are to explain public trust by analyzing the correlation of the uses of communications with the trust in the Pakistan Army.
Design/Methodology: :To conduct this research quantitative approach is used, a purposive sample of (n = 269) university students is selected based on a sample collected from the universities in Lahore. The survey method was used to collect data. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 24 was used for applying the correlations and partial correlation tests.
Findings: : Communications on Twitter and Facebook are creating distrust for the Pakistan Army, but the interpersonal forms of communication are creating trust for the Pakistan Army. The study finds major support for the media malaise theory. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
Originality: This study painted a more comprehensive picture of the trust in the army in the evolving media environment in Pakistan.
SMA 200–400 GHz Survey for Dust Properties in the Icy Class II Disks in the Taurus Molecular Cloud

Abstract
We present a new Submillimeter Array survey of 47 Class II sources in the Taurus–Auriga region. Our observations made 12 independent samples of flux densities over the 200–400 GHz frequency range. We tightly constrained the spectral indices of most sources to a narrow range of 2.0 ± 0.2; only a handful of spatially resolved (e.g., diameter >250 au) disks present larger spectral indices. The simplest interpretation for this result is that the (sub)millimeter luminosities of all of the observed target sources are dominated by very optically thick (e.g., τ ≳ 5) dust thermal emission. Some previous works that were based on the optically thin assumption thus might have underestimated optical depths by at least 1 order of magnitude. Assuming DSHARP dust opacities, this corresponds to underestimates of dust masses by a similar factor. For our specific selected sample, the lower limits of dust masses implied by the optically thick interpretation are 1–3 times higher than those previous estimates that were made based on the optically thin assumption. Moreover, some population synthesis models show that, to explain the observed, narrowly distributed spectral indices, the disks in our selected sample need to have very similar dust temperatures (T
dust). Given a specific assumption of median T
dust, the maximum grain sizes (

a

max

) can also be constrained, which is a few times smaller than 0.1 mm for T
dust ∼ 100 K and a few millimeters for T
dust ∼ 24 K. The results may indicate that dust grain growth outside the water snow line is limited by the bouncing/fragmentation barriers. This is consistent with the recent laboratory experiments, which indicated that the coagulation of water-ice-coated dust is not efficient, and the water-ice-free dust is stickier and thus can coagulate more efficiently. In the Class II disks, the dust mass budget outside of the water snow line may be largely retained instead of being mostly consumed by planet formation. While Class II disks still possess sufficient dust masses to feed planet formation at a later time, it is unknown whether or not dust coagulation and planet formation can be efficient or natural outside of the water snow line.
Un essaimage à chaud gagnant-gagnant ? Comprendre les ancres du sentiment de réussite
Authors: Lellis Alcantara Brunna , Gabarret Inès 
Published: July 2024

Traduction incomplète du terme « spin-off », le concept d’essaimage a peu été étudié en France et la littérature anglo-saxonne s’intéressant à ce concept n’est pas toujours bien adaptée au contexte français. Ici, les études ont longtemps desservi l’essaimage en le réduisant à un outil de reclassement ou une pratique douce de licenciement. L’essaimage couvre l’ensemble des situations de création et reprise d’entreprise par les salariés avec un appui de leur ex-employeur. Cela peut se faire à la demande du salarié ou à la demande de l’entreprise. L’essaimage est défini comme gagnant-gagnant quand il s’agit d’une externalisation d’activités et une possible coopération commerciale. Néanmoins, pouvons-nous parler d’un essaimage gagnant-gagnant lors des pratiques de réduction de personnel ? Cet article s’intéresse à l’émergence du sentiment de réussite chez les salariés essaimés pouvant transformer un essaimage à chaud en gagnant-gagnant.
Territoires zéro chômeur de longue durée au prisme des communs

Published: July 2024

Partant de convergences observées entre les fondements du projet « Territoires zéro chômeur de longue durée » (TZCLD) et l'approche des communs, cet article propose une analyse des enseignements de l'expérimentation et des enjeux de la pérennisation du projet en mobilisant les principes fondamentaux des communs. Au terme de cette analyse, il apparaît qu'un des enjeux majeurs réside dans un alignement fort de la gouvernance polycentrique du projet et des règles de gestion définies par les pôles de cette gouvernance avec un référentiel de valeur hétérodoxe.
Les « médiums malléables » : contribution à une théorie des médiums en design
Authors: Gentès Annie 
Published: July 2024

Les matériaux, en plus de leurs caractéristiques physiques, culturelles et politiques, servent de médiums dans lesquels les univers subjectifs des designers peuvent s’incarner. Cette hypothèse s’appuie sur la théorie de l’agir créatif de Winnicott, qui souligne comment notre rapport au monde est à la fois tangible et imaginaire, ce qui nous permet de reconfigurer les éléments matériels de nos environnements. Dans la continuité des travaux de Winnicott, les psychanalystes Marion Milner et Denis Roussillon ont approfondi le questionnement sur les propriétés des médiums qui peuvent soutenir cette activité créative de projection subjective. Ils avancent le concept de « médiums malléables » et proposent cinq propriétés qui, d’après eux, caractérisent ces médiums capables de soutenir une activité créative : l’indestructibilité, l’extrême sensibilité, l’indéfinie transformation, l’inconditionnelle disponibilité et enfin, l’animation propre. Leurs travaux éclairent les rapports aux matériaux dans l’activité créative et permettent de mieux comprendre la dynamique des médiums comme milieux et matrices de formation accueillant des projections du monde intérieur des designers.
Le Mexique s’est-il polarisé ? Changement et continuités d’une géographie électorale plurielle et fragmentée
Authors: Sonnleitner Willibald 
Published: July 2024

Depuis l’élection d’Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) à la présidence, en 2018, la politique mexicaine semble s’organiser autour de deux pôles antagoniques irréconciliables. Cependant, la bipolarisation de la classe politique ne se reflète pas dans le vote des électeurs, qui demeure pluriel et fragmenté. Cette étude s’intéresse aux effets de l’alternance sur la reconfiguration du système de partis dans une perspective socioterritoriale et historique, en analysant les onze élections législatives tenues depuis 1991 à l’échelle des 300 circonscriptions électorales. Le « tsunami » de 2018 fut le résultat de l’effondrement des trois partis qui avaient structuré la transition politique jusqu’en 2015. Plutôt que de reconcentrer le vote, le gouvernement d’AMLO s’appuie sur une coalition composite, face à une opposition encore plus hétérogène. Loin de se diviser autour d’un clivage bipolaire, les géographies électorales émergeantes en 2021 sont éminemment plurielles. Elles révèlent des ruptures, mais aussi des continuités avec un processus plus large de décomposition politique.

Abstract
Chronic inflammasome activation in mononuclear phagocytes (MNPs) promotes fibrosis in various tissues, including the kidney. The cellular and molecular links between the inflammasome and fibrosis are unclear. To address this question, we fed mice lacking various immunological mediators an adenine-enriched diet, which causes crystal precipitation in renal tubules, crystal-induced inflammasome activation, and renal fibrosis. We found that kidney fibrosis depended on an intrarenal inflammasome-dependent type 3 immune response driven by its signature transcription factor Rorc (retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor C gene), which was partially carried out by type 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3s). The role of ILCs in the kidney is less well known than in other organs, especially that of ILC3. In this article, we describe that depletion of ILCs or genetic deficiency for Rorc attenuated kidney inflammation and fibrosis. Among the inflammasome-derived cytokines, only IL-1β expanded ILC3 and promoted fibrosis, whereas IL-18 caused differentiation of NKp46+ ILC3. Deficiency of the type 3 maintenance cytokine, IL-23, was more protective than IL-1β inhibition, which may be explained by the downregulation of the IL-1R, but not of the IL-23R, by ILC3 early in the disease, allowing persistent sensing of IL-23. Mechanistically, ILC3s colocalized with renal MNPs in vivo as shown by multiepitope-ligand cartography. Cell culture experiments indicated that renal ILC3s caused renal MNPs to increase TGF-β production that stimulated fibroblasts to produce collagen. We conclude that ILC3s link inflammasome activation with kidney inflammation and fibrosis and are regulated by IL-1β and IL-23.

Published: July 2024

An 83-year-old woman was referred to our Emergency Department (ED) for a chronic pericardial effusion with exertional dyspnoea that had been worse over the past several days. She denied any chest pain, syncope, fever, or leg swelling. She suffered from hypertension, heart failure NYHA I, diabetes mellitus type 2, and essential tremor treated with carvedilol, furosemide, olmesartan-hydrochlorothiazide, acetylsalicylic acid, and dapagliflozin. Her physical examination revealed no abnormalities. Her vital signs were blood pressure 130/70 mmHg, heart rate 70 bpm, peripheral oxygen saturation 95% in room ambient, and respiratory rate 18/min. Laboratory findings, including C-reactive protein and troponin T, were in the normal range. The electrocardiogram showed a sinus rhythm with normal atrioventricular conduction and ventricular repolarization. Point-of-care ultrasound documented an A-line pattern without pleural effusion and a diffuse and large (30 mm fluid strip) pericardial effusion without signs of cardiac tamponade and unchanged from the previous echocardiogram (Video 1). It also showed a large pulsing mass 6x6 cm close to the right atrium with a predominant systolic flow (Video 2, Video 3).

Published: July 2024

Background:
Primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is an effective procedure to better function and relief the pain in advanced osteoarthritis patients. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of outpatient clinic-based setting of physiotherapy versus home-based rehabilitation (HBR) for functional recovery immediately after primary TKA procedure.

Materials and Methods:
This randomized clinical trial study was conducted on patients underwent TKA in 2021–2022. Participants were randomly allocated to either “usual care” or a “home-based rehabilitation” in a 1:1 ratio. The primary outcome measurement of this study was the Knee Society Score (KSS). The secondary outcome was patient quality of life using the 36-item Short Form Survey Instrument (SF-36). Data were entered into the SPSS software 25 and analyzed.

Results:
In this study, 80 patients who underwent TKA in equal proportion in two outpatient physiotherapy (36 women; average age 64.37 ± 5.12 years) and home rehabilitation (33 women; average age 62.4 ± 4.87 years) groups were examined. The findings our study showed that after the intervention (3 and 5 months after the operation), there was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of the quality of life (total score) (P > 0.05). KSS had no significant difference between the two groups (P > 0.05).

Conclusion:
This randomized controlled trial found no significant differences in the outcomes of rehabilitation using either a HBR or a traditional outpatient physiotherapy model.

Authors: Rezapour Aziz , Jafari Abdosaleh , Talebianpour Hamid 
Published: July 2024

Background:Cardiovascular diseases are a main cause of disease burden in developing and developed countries. This study aimed to evaluate the cost-utility of rosuvastatin 20 mg in contrast with no intervention for the prevention of cardiovascular disease in Iran.Materials and Methods:The costs and utility of rosuvastatin 20 mg were compared to nonintervention in patients with cardiovascular disease for the whole lifetime horizon in this study using the Markov model. Cost and utility data were taken from literature. After estimating the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio, a sensitivity analysis was performed using TreeAge Pro 2011 software to cope with uncertainty.Results:Based on finding, the expected cost and quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) of using rosuvastatin 20 mg were $300 and 12, and the values for no intervention were $56 and $10, respectively. Given the threshold of $20800, using rosuvastatin 20 mg was cost-effective compared to no intervention and the incremental cost was $122 per QALY. The results showed that the highest costs were related to admission to the coronary care unit (CCU) ward. Moreover, among the costs of paraclinical services, the highest were those of echocardiography. Furthermore, Troponin accounted for most of the cost of laboratory tests.Conclusion:It is recommended that policymakers consider using rosuvastatin 20 mg by cardiologists while designing clinical guidelines for the diagnosis of patients with cardiovascular diseases. Because of the high cost of cardiovascular diseases in Iran, it is suggested that policymakers should consider cost control strategies to impose lower costs on patients.
The Regulatory Variant -108C/T in the Promoter of Paraoxonase 1 (PON1) Gene has a More Important Role in Regulating PON1 Activity Compared to rs3735590 in 3ʹ-UTR in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease
Authors: Zargari Mehryar , Maadi Negar , Rezapour Maysam , Bagheri Abouzar , Fallahpour Samane , Nosrati Mani , Mahrooz Abdolkarim 
Published: July 2024

Background:
This study aimed to assess the serum activity of paraoxonase 1 (PON1) in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) based on two genetic variants including the -108C/T variant in the promoter region and the rs3735590 variant in the binding site of miR-616 at the 3ʹ-UTR of the PON1 gene.

Materials and Methods:
A total of 140 subjects who exhibited clinical symptoms of CAD underwent diagnostic coronary angiography. The patients with CAD were further categorized into two groups: single-vessel disease (SVD) and multi-vessel disease (MVD). The study variants were genotyped using the restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) technique after polymerase chain reaction amplification.

Results:
After adjusting for age, gender, body mass index, metformin, and statin usage, a significant association was observed between the -108C/T variant and PON1 activity (P < 0.001). In the sub-groups of both SVD and MVD, individuals with the TC+CC genotypes exhibited significantly higher PON1 activity compared to TT homozygotes (P = 0.001 for SVD and P = 0.01 for MVD). As for the rs3735590 variant, individuals with the A allele (GA+AA genotypes) had higher PON1 activity compared to those with the GG genotype in both the SVD and MVD groups, although the results did not reach statistical significance.

Conclusions:
Our study findings indicate a significant decrease in PON1 activity among patients with obstructive CAD. Notably, our results suggest that the -108C/T variant exerts a greater influence on PON1 activity compared to the rs3735590 variant. These findings highlight the crucial role of the -108C/T variant in modulating PON1 activity within the context of atherosclerosis.
Ocular dominance and its association with retinal thickness profile – A cross-sectional study
Authors: Khan Farnaz Ahamed , Kasturi Nirupama , Deb Amit Kumar 
Published: July 2024

Purpose:
The retinal thickness profile is essential for detecting ocular diseases like glaucoma and other optic neuropathies. The retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness is affected by age, ethnicity, axial length, optic disc area, and inter-eye differences. Ocular dominance has a strong functional correlation with cerebral cortical activity. However, its relationship with RNFL thickness profile is yet to be fully established.

Methods:
A cross-sectional study was conducted in 136 healthy adults to study the association between ocular dominance and RNFL parameters measured by Spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and to study the association of ocular dominance with other parameters such as handedness, intraocular pressure, average axial length, average keratometry, and refractive error. Sighting ocular dominance was detected using the Miles test, and sensory ocular dominance was detected using the fogging test. Visual acuity and refraction assessment were done, and the patients underwent ocular biometry using the Lenstar 900 machine to measure the axial length and keratometry. The RNFL thickness was measured using the Cirrus HD optical coherence tomographer.

Results:
One hundred and thirty-two (97.06%) individuals were right-handed, four (2.94%) were left-handed, 108 (79.41%) participants were right eye dominant, and 28 (20.59%) were left eye dominant. There was 100% agreement between sighting and sensory ocular dominance. The average RNFL thickness and other measured ocular parameters were comparable in the dominant and nondominant eyes. Regardless of dominance, the left eyes in the study cohort had a greater statistically significant difference in superior RNFL thickness (P < 0.05), which correlated with increased central macular thickness.

Conclusion:
Ocular dominance occurred mostly in the right eye. The RNFL thickness profile is not associated with ocular dominance in emmetropic and mild myopic individuals with normal best corrected visual acuity.
