Toxoplasmosis is a parasitic infection, with widespread gestational and congenital transmission rates globally, consequently, it is regarded as a public health concern and an overlooked medical condition. Human infection occurs through various routes, including the ingestion of oocysts found in cat feces, consumption of raw or undercooked meat containing the parasite, and vertical transmission from an infected pregnant mother to her fetus. Objective. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii infection among individuals in various age groups and genders in Duhok City. Methods. In this research, 2251 individuals of various ages and genders visited the central laboratory in Duhok Сity, Kurdistan Region, Iraq, and peripheral blood samples were taken from individuals to identify specific anti-Toxoplasma gondii IgM and IgG antibodies using serological test (ELISA test). Results. Based on the findings of this study, it was observed that the prevalence of toxoplasmosis among females with infections detected in both IgM and IgG was 0.3 % and 20.6 %, respectively, and in males, the rate of infection with IgG was found to be 0.3 %, while no infections were detected with IgM. Also, among female individuals, the study recorded a 0.3 % infection rate for toxoplasmosis, which encompassed both IgM and IgG cases. Conclusions. Based on this study, it can be concluded that Toxoplasma infection is more common in females than in males, chronic toxoplasmosis appears to be more prevalent than acute infection with the highest rate of acute infections was found in the age group of 21–40 years.

The ability of inorganic antibacterial agents like metal oxides and nanoscale inorganic materials to inhibit bacterial growth rates has yet to receive much research attention. In this study, CaCO3-ZnO/Y-zeolite nanocomposites were created utilizing coprecipitation and impregnation techniques with Ca(CH3COO)2, Zn(CH3COO)2 2H2O, Y-zeolite precursors. Physical and chemical characteristics of nanocomposites have been investigated using XRD, FTIR, and SEM-EDX characterizations. The agar-well diffusion method tested the substance for antibacterial activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Nanocomposites have a crystal size range of 35.46-36.53 nm and a crystallinity of 35-37 %, according to the results of XRD analysis. The carbonate groups are visible in FTIR data at wave numbers 1433, 875, and 712 cm-1. The Zn-O absorption band was verified at wave numbers 600-400 cm-1. The Y-zeolite absorption bands at wave numbers 1012-997 cm-1 and 745-746 cm-1 were confirmed. The particle morphology is cube-shaped with irregular sizes. The EDX result showed that the composition consists of 35.92 % calcium, 1.68 % zinc, 44.81 % oxygen, and 13.79 % carbon as elements. With the addition of 2.5 % Y-zeolite, the antibacterial activity of nanocomposites showed the best results, with an inhibition zone diameter of 7.62 mm against Escherichia coli and 6.56 mm against Staphylococcus aureus bacteria.

Aim. The study aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) to determine the effect of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) on the prognosis of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).Material and methods. We searched PubMed (MEDLINE), Google Scholar, and the Cochrane Library databases for studies that compared PVI with a conservative rhythm/heart rate (HR) control strategy in patients with AF and HFrEF. The primary endpoint in the major RCTs examining the effect of PVI on the prognosis of patients with HFrEF was a composite endpoint of all-cause mortality or HF-related hospitalization. Hazard ratios (HRs) based on Cox regression analysis were used as the baseline survival rates for the meta-analysis. To determine the weighted mean differences in improvement in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in the PVI and non-PVI groups, a pooled analysis of the mean LVEF changes with standard deviations taking into account the number of subjects in the compared groups was performed.Results. For this systematic review, 11 studies were selected from 2216 publications, which included 2379 patients. Three RCTs (n=968) were subjected to meta-analysis on time-to-event outcomes. The average follow-up period was 34 months. According to the meta-analysis, PVI was associated with a significant reduction in the risk of composite endpoint (HR: 0,53; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0,33-0,85; p=0,009). In addition, PVI compared with drug rhythm/rate control was associated with a significant reduction in the all-cause mortality risk (HR: 0,55; 95% CI: 0,34-0,89; p=0,01). Finally, a meta-analysis of 10 RCTs (n=1516) found a significant improvement in LVEF compared with drug rhythm/HR control or atrioventricular node ablation with biventricular pacing. The weighted mean difference in the LVEF change over time after 6-12-month follow-up was 5,25% (95% CI: 4,03-6,47; p<0,001).Conclusion. PVI in patients with AF and HFrEF compared with drug rhythm/HR control is associated with a significant reduction in the risk of all-cause mortality and HF-related hospitalization and a greater improvement in LVEF compared with baseline.

Introduction. We present a case of type 1 Kounis syndrome in a patient with recurrent myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) due to allergic coronary vasospasm. Awareness of doctors about this pathology will allow identifying the MINOCA causes and prescribing pathogenetic treatment.Brief description. A 51-year-old woman with aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (asthma, rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis, aspirin hypersensitivity, eosinophilia) without cardiovascular risk factors developed three recurrent myocardial infarctions against the background of vasospastic angina over a 6-month period. Despite the typical clinical performance, stable ST segment elevation, unchanged coronary arteries on coronary angiography, the vasospastic MI was not immediately established. The patient received long-term treatment for type 1 MI, including beta-blockers. Recurrent MI occurred against the background of an asthma attack. During the second and third hospitalization for MI, coronary angiography revealed a spasm of the right coronary artery, which completely resolved with the nitroglycerin administration. Intracoronary ultrasound made it possible to rule out atherosclerotic involvement of the infarct-related artery. Subsequently, microvascular angina developed, which was confirmed by positron emission tomography. Vasospastic angina in combination with microvascular angina, MIBOCA with asthma attacks, were regarded as type 1 Kounis syndrome. Over the next 2 years, the patient received pathogenetic treatment, and no recurrent cardiovascular events were observed.Discussion. Lack of awareness about Kounis syndrome led to incomplete examination of the patient with MIBOCA and the prescription of pathogenetically unreasonable tehrapy, which could contribute to recurrent MI within 6 months.
Identifying critical assumptions and risks in air quality management planning using Theory of Change approach

Published: June 2024

Governments across the world have been developing legislation and policy implementation instruments to address air pollution issues. Air Quality Management Plans (AQMPs) have emerged as a key instrument, with most developed countries having established effective AQMPs. These take a variety of forms depending on the overarching national framework for environmental regulations. The uptake of AQMPs in low and middle-income countries, however, has been less broad and, even in those that have adopted AQMPs, their effectiveness and efficiency have been limited, especially in urban areas. South Africa has adopted AQMPs and is recognised as having one of the most mature and complex air quality management legal frameworks in the world. Yet South Africa is still facing serious air quality challenges, especially in those areas that have been declared as priority areas. This paper, therefore, aims to identify critical assumptions and risks as a basis to evaluate the effectiveness of AQMPs as a policy instrument through the application of Theory of Change (ToC) approach. This study has resulted in the development of the ToC map, identification of 15 critical assumptions and associated causal narrative framework. In addition, this paper identified key risks underpinning the AQMP development and implementation process in South Africa. The identified critical assumptions embedded within different components of the ToC framework are not the only assumptions relating to this policy instrument, however, they are the fundamentally important ones that may significantly impact the success or failure of the AQMP system in South Africa if not managed. This study suggests that in order to further understand the challenges relating to the effective development and implementation of AQMPs, it is important that further research be conducted to test the validity of these critical assumptions which will provide solutions towards avoiding or mitigating risks associated with them.
The Religious Basis of Contemporary Law
Authors: Najman Michał 
Published: June 2024

Religion and law intermingled and influenced each other both in the early stages of the formation of society and in the subsequent processes of its development. It is impossible to say unequivocally which of the two developed earlier or which had a greater influence on the modern form of the other. Today, questions concerning the relationship between law and religion are rarely the subject of research. The prevailing view that proclaims the secularisation of law, while undoubtedly justified, seems to overlook the religious origins of many modern secular institutions of law, such as, equality before the law, social policy, parental authority or the posthumous protection of human corpses and graves. As it seems, the move away from religious justification of legal institutions is a valid solution, prompting legal scholarship to seek explanations for the functioning of the legal system. The purpose of this article is to point out that law and religion intermingled in the creation of their final forms, resulting in the spread of legal institutions derived from norms of a religious nature. This encourages the creation (or denotation) of legally protected values and the search for their scientific (non-religious) basis.

Authors: Jędrzejewski Stanisław 
Published: June 2024

Artykuł prezentuje analizę ewolucji gatekeepingu w mediach, na tle rozwoju technologii, w szczególności sztucznej inteligencji (AI). Tradycyjny model gatekeepingu, oparty na selekcji informacji przez redaktorów lub instytucje, ulega transformacji w obliczu cyfryzacji i demokratyzacji dostępu do platform cyfrowych. Współczesne media przechodzą od centralizowanego filtrowania informacji ku modelowi, gdzie użytkownicy i algorytmy stają się nowymi strażnikami bram informacyjnych, umożliwiając szerokie udostępnianie treści. W artykule analizowane są konsekwencje wprowadzenia AI do procesów redakcyjnych, ukazując zarówno potencjalne korzyści, jak i zagrożenia związane z automatyzacją dziennikarstwa. Wyróżnione zostały trzy scenariusze zmian dziennikarstwa. W kontekście tych zmian, autor podkreśla konieczność rozwijania etycznych i transparentnych praktyk stosowania AI w mediach, edukacji zawodowej oraz poszukiwania odpowiedzi na pytania etyczne i prawne związane z nową rolą AI jako gatekeepera. Dyskusja ta ukazuje złożoność wyzwań i możliwości, które niesie ze sobą digitalizacja w obszarze mediów i dziennikarstwa, zachęcając do dalszych badań nad rosnącym wpływem AI na przyszłość tej branży.

Abstract

Background
Narrowband Ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) phototherapy is commonly prescribed for patients with moderate-to-severe atopic eczema (AE). The efficacy of NB-UVB, however, has not yet properly been established, as current evidence is of low certainty. Our aim is to assess the short-term and long-term (cost)effectiveness and safety of NB-UVB in adult AE patients by performing a pragmatic, multicenter, prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded-endpoint (PROBE) trial. This protocol outlines its methodology.
Methods
A pragmatic, multicenter, PROBE trial will be performed with 1:1 randomization of 316 adult patients with moderate-to-severe AE who have inadequate disease control with topical therapy and who are eligible for optimal topical therapy (OTT) or NB-UVB in combination with OTT as a next step. Participants in the interventional arm will receive a minimum of 3 months of OTT combined with 8 to 16 weeks of NB-UVB. The control group receives 3 months of OTT. Following the interventional phase, follow-up will continue for 9 months. Physician-reported and patient-reported outcomes (according to the Harmonising Outcome Measures for Eczema (HOME) Core Outcome Set) and adverse events are assessed at 4 weeks, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months.
Discussion
The UPDATE trial aims to provide high-quality evidence regarding the (cost-)effectiveness and safety of NB-UVB phototherapy in moderate-to-severe AE patients. Challenges that are addressed in the protocol include the possible bias arising from applying open label treatment, and the necessity of introducing OTT into the study design to prevent a high dropout rate.
