Introduction
Parkinson's disease (PD) poses significant challenges due to its complex array of motor and non-motor symptoms, impacting patients' quality of life. While traditional pharmacological treatments focus on motor symptoms, non-pharmacological interventions, including physical and dance therapy, offer alternative approaches.

Aim of the Study
This study aims to evaluate the therapeutic potential of physical and dance therapy, including tango, in managing motor symptoms and improving overall well-being in individuals with PD. It seeks to compare these interventions with traditional treatments and explore their efficacy.

State of Knowledge
Parkinson's disease management involves a combination of pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches. Traditional treatments target motor symptoms but have limitations. Non-pharmacological interventions, such as deep brain stimulation and physical therapy, complement traditional treatments. Dance therapy, including tango, shows promise in improving motor function and quality of life.

Conclusions
Physical and dance therapy, including tango, offer promising avenues for managing motor symptoms and enhancing quality of life in PD patients. While traditional treatments remain essential, non-pharmacological interventions provide valuable alternatives. Further research is needed to refine intervention parameters and compare their effectiveness comprehensively. Overall, these therapies present holistic approaches to PD management, addressing both motor and non-motor symptoms for improved patient outcomes.

Cirrhosis is a chronic, diffuse disease process characterized by fibrosis and remodeling of the organ's normal architectonics into regenerative nodules. It is also one of the risk factors for cancers of the organ. One of the most common is hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The etiologic agent of HCC, which usually also causes cirrhosis, can be determined in more than 90% of patients. The annual risk of developing HCC ranges from 1% to 8%. It is estimated that about 1/3 of cirrhotic patients will develop HCC. By preventing cirrhosis and controlling its course, we reduce the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma [1].
Networking Frictions and Entrepreneurial Learning in Developing Economies
Authors: Dimitriadis Stefan , Koning Rembrand 
Published: July 2024

Relationships with peers help entrepreneurs learn and improve firm performance. Recent scholarship confirms that events—social gatherings such as mixers, conferences, or training programs—can help entrepreneurs build valuable social connections. Yet, for entrepreneurs in developing economies, networking frictions may make connecting with peers challenging and undermine the benefits of events. We argue that when networking frictions are high, the value of events will lie more in connecting neighbors rather than bringing together distant peers. In the presence of networking frictions, neighbors are both less likely to be someone the entrepreneur has already learned from and easier to sustain a relationship with. To test this argument, we use data from a series of networking events in Togo during which entrepreneurs were randomly assigned to meet with peers from across the city of Lomé. We find that entrepreneurs who were assigned to neighboring peers were much more likely to sustain a relationship, learn from their peer’s management knowledge, and in turn benefit more: Profits increase by 10% when entrepreneurs get to know peers who are located on average 1 km closer to them. Our results highlight the central role that networking frictions play in shaping who entrepreneurs in developing economies can successfully learn from.

Effectiveness of the A3 robot on lower extremity motor function in stroke patients: A prospective, randomized controlled trial
Authors: Zhang Lin-Jian , Wen Xin , Peng Yang , Hu Wei , Liao Hui , Liu Zi-Cai , Liu Hui-Yu 
Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND
The results of existing lower extremity robotics studies are conflicting, and few relevant clinical trials have examined short-term efficacy. In addition, most of the outcome indicators in existing studies are scales, which are not objective enough. We used the combination of objective instrument measurement and scale to explore the short-term efficacy of the lower limb A3 robot, to provide a clinical reference.
AIM
To investigate the improvement of lower limb walking ability and balance in stroke treated by A3 lower limb robot.
METHODS
Sixty stroke patients were recruited prospectively in a hospital and randomized into the A3 group and the control group. They received 30 min of A3 robotics training and 30 min of floor walking training in addition to 30 min of regular rehabilitation training. The training was performed five times a week, once a day, for 2 wk. The t -test or non-parametric test was used to compare the three-dimensional gait parameters and balance between the two groups before and after treatment.
RESULTS
The scores of basic activities of daily living, Stroke-Specific Quality of Life Scale, FM balance meter, Fugl-Meyer Assessment scores, Rivermead Mobility Index, Stride speed, Stride length, and Time Up and Go test in the two groups were significantly better than before treatment (19.29 ± 12.15 vs 3.52 ± 4.34; 22.57 ± 17.99 vs 4.07 ± 2.51; 1.21 ± 0.83 vs 0.18 ± 0.40; 3.50 ± 3.80 vs 0.96 ± 2.08; 2.07 ± 1.21 vs 0.41 ± 0.57; 0.89 ± 0.63 vs 0.11 ± 0.32; 12.38 ± 9.00 vs 2.80 ± 3.43; 18.84 ± 11.24 vs 3.80 ± 10.83; 45.12 ± 69.41 vs 8.41 ± 10.20; 29.45 ± 16.62 vs 8.68 ± 10.74; P < 0.05). All outcome indicators were significantly better in the A3 group than in the control group, except the area of the balance parameter.
CONCLUSION
For the short-term treatment of patients with subacute stroke, the addition of A3 robotic walking training to conventional physiotherapy appears to be more effective than the addition of ground-based walking training.
Seven-years post allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation pure red cell aplastic anemia cured with daratumumab: A case report and review of literature
Authors: Deng Bo , Gao Rui , Yang Bing , Lei Wen-Bing , Xue Ming-Fang , Wang Ji-Shi , Zhao Peng 
Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Allo-HSCT) is currently the only viable method of curing patients with acute myeloid leukaemia. In 30% to 50% of patients, donors and recipients have some level of ABO blood group incompatibility. ABO blood group incompatibility can cause antibodies against the donor's red blood cells to persist in the recipient's body, resulting in a delay of several months in the recovery of red blood cells. A number of different treatments have been reported for post-transplant pure red cell aplastic anaemia (PRCA), such as plasmapheresis, donor lymphocyte infusions, anti-thymocyte globulin, rituximab and steroids.
CASE SUMMARY
A 41-year-old female diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia underwent peripheral blood allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation in November 2013 from an HLA matched unrelated donor. The donor was AB-positive and the recipient was O-positive. The patient was diagnosed with PRCA three months after receiving the donor stem cell transplant. After failing multiple lines of therapy, the patient applied for daratumumab. After receiving three doses of daratumumab, the patient developed a reticulocyte response and no longer required blood transfusions.
CONCLUSION
The use of daratumumab anti-CD38 for the remove of plasma cells is safe and effective and may be tried for refractory patients with PRCA after undergoing allo-HSCT for ABO incompatibility.
Splenic subcapsular hematoma following endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography: A case report and review of literature
Authors: Guo Chen-Yu , Wei Yu-Xia 
Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND
Splenic injury following endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a rare complication. The literature contains around 30 articles reporting various degrees of splenic injuries resulting from ERCP since the first report of splenic rupture after ERCP in 1989.
CASE SUMMARY
This report describes a case of splenic hematoma and stent displacement in a 69-year-old male patient who developed these conditions 7 days after undergoing ERCP and stenting. The patient had bile duct stenosis caused by a malignant tumor that was obstructing the bile duct. The diagnosis was confirmed by epigastric computed tomography and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography. The patient was successfully treated with percutaneous transhepatic cholangial drainage, endoscopic pyloric stent placement, and conservative management. The causes of splenic injury following ERCP are discussed.
CONCLUSION
ERCP has the potential to cause splenic injury. If a patient experiences symptoms such as abdominal pain, decreased blood pressure, and altered hematology after the procedure, it's important to be thoroughly investigated for postoperative bleeding and splenic injury.

Timing of follow-up visits after hospital discharge for COPD: Application of a new method
Authors: Jiang Lili , Austin Peter C. , Wodchis Walter P. , Kiran Tara , Guan Jun , Gershon Andrea S. 
Published: July 2024

Rationale
A common strategy to reduce COPD readmissions is to encourage patient follow-up with a physician within 1 to 2 weeks of discharge, yet evidence confirming its benefit is lacking. We used a new study design called target randomized trial emulation to determine the impact of follow-up visit timing on patient outcomes.

Methods
All Ontario residents aged 35 or older discharged from a COPD hospitalization were identified using health administrative data and randomly assigned to those who received and did not receive physician visit follow-up by within seven days. They were followed to all-cause emergency department visits, readmissions or death. Targeted randomized trial emulation was used to adjust for differences between the groups. COPD emergency department visits, readmissions or death was also considered.

Results
There were 94,034 patients hospitalized with COPD, of whom 73.5% had a physician visit within 30 days of discharge. Adjusted hazard ratio for all-cause readmission, emergency department visits or death for people with a visit within seven days post discharge was 1.03 (95% Confidence Interval [CI]: 1.01–1.05) and remained around 1 for subsequent days; adjusted hazard ratio for the composite COPD events was 0.97 (95% CI 0.95–1.00) and remained significantly lower than 1 for subsequent days.

Conclusion
While a physician visit after discharge was found to reduce COPD events, a specific time period when a physician visit was most beneficial was not found. This suggests that follow-up visits should not occur at a predetermined time but be based on factors such as anticipated medical need.
Effects of ciprofol infusion on hemodynamics during induction and maintenance of anesthesia and on postoperative recovery in patients undergoing thoracoscopic lobectomy: Study protocol for a randomized, controlled trial

Published: July 2024

IntroductionCiprofol, a new candidate drug, is effective and safe for the maintenance of anesthesia in non-cardiothoracic and non-neurological elective surgery. However, few studies have been conducted on general anesthesia using ciprofol in patients undergoing thoracoscopic lobectomy. Therefore, this study aims to observe the effects of ciprofol on hemodynamics and on postoperative recovery in patients undergoing thoracoscopic lobectomy.Methods and analysisThis randomized controlled trial will include 136 patients aged 18–65 years undergoing elective thoracoscopic lobectomy between April 2023 and December 2024. The participants will be randomly assigned to the propofol or ciprofol group. The primary outcome to be assessed is the hemodynamic fluctuation during the induction and maintenance of anesthesia. The secondary outcomes involve quality of anesthesia induction and quality of recovery from anesthesia. The former includes TLOC(time to loss of consciousness), the use of vasoactive agents, the incidence of injection pain, body movement, muscle twitching and coughing during induction of anesthesia. The latter includes TROC(time to recovery of consciousness), post anesthesia care unit (PACU) time, incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), postoperative agitation, intraoperative awareness and quality of recovery (QoR) score.DiscussionA number of clinical trials have confirmed that ciprofol, as a new sedative-hypnotic agent, has advantages of better tolerance, higher sedation satisfaction score, and lower incidence of adverse reactions, especially in reducing the incidence of injection pain. But considering that ciprofol was recently developed, limited data are available regarding its use for general anesthesia. This study aims to investigate the effects of ciprofol on hemodynamics and on postoperative recovery of patients undergoing thoracoscopic lobectomy. The results of this study may provide evidence for the safe application of ciprofol, a new choice of general anesthetic for thoracic surgery.Clinical trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05664386).
Standardising job descriptions in the humanitarian supply chain: A text mining approach for recruitment process
Authors: Spada Irene , Fabbroni Valeria , Chiarello Filippo , Fantoni Gualtiero 
Published: July 2024

Purpose
Uncertainty and complexity have increased in recent decades, posing new challenges to humanitarian organisations. This study investigates whether using standard terminology in Human Resource Management processes can support the Humanitarian supply chain in attracting and maintaining highly skilled operators.

Methodology
We exploit text mining to compare job vacancies on ReliefWeb, the reference platform for humanitarian job seekers, and ESCO, the European Classification of Skills, Competencies, and Occupations. We measure the level of alignment in these two resources, providing quantitative evidence about terminology standardisation in job descriptions for supporting HR operators in the Humanitarian field.

Findings
The most in-demand skills, besides languages, relate to resource management and economics and finance for capital management. Our results show that job vacancies for managerial and financial profiles are relatively more in line with the European database than those for technical profiles. However, the peculiarities of the humanitarian sector and the lack of standardisation are still a barrier to achieving the desired level of coherence with humanitarian policies.
Accounting for Textile Industry and Labor Dynamics in Eritrea (1956–1975): Adding Gender to the Equation
Authors: Fusari Valentina 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
In Eritrea, the history of the textile sector has its roots in the local tradition of spinning and weaving, which assigned roles based on gender and ethnicity. The textile supply chain, instead, was anchored in colonial times, when local market and export-oriented factories emerged, hiring women because of the shortage of male workers and because they could be paid less. From then on it provided women with salaried jobs, upskilling their opportunities and raising their awareness. This article is a factory-based case study that intertwines archival, oral, and visual sources. Its aim is to assess how and why, from the mid-1950s to the mid-1970s, the inclusion of women as salaried workers in the S.A. Cotonificio Barattolo & Co. (Asmӓra), one of the main textile factories in East Africa, made it a gender-oriented factoryscape that affected the role of women well beyond the labor arena. It examines the recruitment and training processes, the socialization of women as salaried employees, their spatial and social mobility, their reconciliation between productive and reproductive roles, and both their overt and underground resistances. Barattolo is a valuable case study for highlighting gendered labor dynamics from a female perspective.
Making the Tasteless World Sweet: An Ethnography of Image Practices in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church as Lived Theology
Authors: de Ménonville Siena-Antonia 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Through an ethnographic approach, this article takes a contemporary look at Orthodox image production and, in particular, at how the terms “traditional” and “modern” are employed by Ethiopian image producers. The unrelenting insistence on what makes an image “correct” and “traditional” signals a deeper need for legitimacy. The discourse presented in this article attributes to past tradition a value which is just as much a critique of the present as it is an idealization of the past. The panorama of Ethiopian Orthodox image practices is not only riddled with tensions surrounding titles, hierarchy and purity, but colored by nostalgia, showing growing concern about the decline of Orthodoxy.

Published: July 2024

Dalam kehidupan bermasyarakat saat ini, harapan untuk berperilaku heteronormatif cukup dominan, sehingga menyulitkan kehidupan komunitas transpuan. Diskriminasi dan stigmatisasi menempatkan transpuan dalam kelompok rentan sehingga mereka juga turut berpotensi menjadi korban kekerasan maupun kejahatan lainnya. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk mengelaborasi bentuk-bentuk viktimisasi terhadap kelompok transpuan sebagai kaum marginal serta bagaimana upaya perlindungan terhadap kelompok transpuan ditinjau dari teori viktimologi kritis. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah normatif-empiris. Data primer yang digunakan adalah informasi dan keterangan dari wawancara yang dilakukan terhadap responden transpuan di beberapa kota, yaitu Yogyakarta (Kabupaten Sleman dan Kabupaten Bantul), Kota Semarang, Kabupaten Baturaja, dan Kota Makassar. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat beberapa bentuk viktimisasi terhadap transpuan di antaranya kekerasan fisik dan verbal, kekerasan seksual, viktimisasi properti dan diskriminasi oleh Negara dan masyarakat serta reviktimisasi sosial. Upaya perlindungan seharusnya komprehensif dari berbagai sektor baik ekonomi, sosial, budaya, agama dan hukum.
