Рак желудка остается одной из самых распространенных злокачественных опухолей, занимая 4-е место в мужской популяции (9,7%), 5-е в женской (5,2%). Пятилетняя выживаемость при поражении лимфатических узлов третьего порядка составляет 5–26%, а частота развития рецидива после хирургического лечения даже при применении адъювантной терапии при инвазии Т3–4 составляет 45%. В работе представлены отдаленные результаты комбинированного лечения 121 пациента с осложненными формами рака желудка с применением интраоперационной фотодинамической терапии и без нее. Больные были разделены на две группы: основную — 90 (74,3%) пациентов, которым проведена интраоперационная ФДТ c облучением зоны лимфодиссекции, и контрольную — 31 (25,7%) пациент, которым ФДТ не выполнялось. При сравнении отдаленных результатов лечения 6-месячная выживаемость в основной группе составила 87,7% по сравнению с 64% в контрольной группе; одногодичная 73,3% по сравнению с 50%. Медиана общей выживаемости пациентов основной группы составила 24 месяца, а в контрольной группе — 12 месяцев, при этом в контрольной группе она достигнута не была.
Stomach cancer remains one of the most common malignant tumors, ranking 4th in the male population (9.7%), 5th in the female population (5.2%). The five-year survival rate for thirdorder lymph nodes lesion is 5–26%, and the frequency of relapse after surgical treatment even with adjuvant therapy with invasion, T324 is 45%. The paper presents the long-term results of combined treatment of 121 patients with complicated forms of gastric cancer using intraoperative photodynamic therapy and without it. The patients were divided into two groups: the main group — 90 (74.3%) patients who underwent intraoperative PDT with irradiation of the lymph node dissection zone, and the control group, 31 (25.7%) patients who did not perform PDT. When comparing long-term treatment results: 6-month survival in the main group was 87.7% compared with 64% in the control group; one-year survival was 73.3% compared with 50%. The median overall survival of patients in the main group was 24 months, and in the control group — 12 months, while in the control group it was not achieved.

Background. Creatine phosphokinase is an enzyme that is often associated with muscle and myocardial disorders. However, other causes of elevated level of this enzyme are possible, such as stroke, hypothyroidism, paraneoplastic syndrome, as well as various pharmacological effects, including taking statins and the development of statin-associated muscle symptoms, the consequences of a previous coronavirus infection COVID-19. The aim of the work. To determine the cause of increased creatine phosphokinase in a patient after coronavirus infection associated with concomitant diseases; to carry out differential diagnosis of an increase in this enzyme. Results. We carried out an analysis of the patient’s medical history with a significantly increased creatine phosphokinase and subsequent differential diagnosis in order to identify the main causes of this change. The study was performed based on the assessment of general medical condition of the patient, as well as of the results of complete and bio-chemical blood counts (including the level of creatine phosphokinase and lactate dehydrogenase). Instrumental studies such as electroneuromyography, electrocardiography, echocardiography and ultrasound scanning were also carried out. The patient was diagnosed with ischemic cardiovascular disease and hypothyroidism. However, the increased creatine phosphokinase was not associated with statin use, since it was discontinued during observation, and the enzyme level increased over time. Other causes of increased creatine phosphokinase were also excluded, and the results indicate that the increase in this enzyme is likely caused by a previous coronavirus infection with concomitant diseases. Conclusion. The present study highlights the importance of a comprehensive approach to the differential diagnosis and treatment of increased creatine phosphokinase levels in patients with comorbid pathology, as this may be a con-sequence of various factors, including infections, concomitant diseases and pharmacological intervention.

Published: July 2024

Da’wah is not only done on the pulpit. The current presence of the internet as a vehicle for lectures is no longer limited to discourse. Ulama, preachers, and also Islamic pioneers must know about immediately finding important ways to follow and also educate the younger generation so that they are always ready and experienced in managing negative attacks from internet media. Da’wah via the internet must be made possible by creating a network about Islam, for example, digital Muslim or digital da’wah, local Islamic da’wah, online journals, sites, and other internet-based media organizations, for example, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram. Each of these digital media presents and offers Islamic data with different offices and techniques. The presence of internet access is a medium that cannot be avoided considering that it has become advancement in the realm of data and correspondence at the world level. With internet access, there are a lot of data that local areas can use for educational, business, and other needs, with the emergence of the internet network which is seen as a transformation in the realm of delivering da’wah without knowing space and time.

This morning I read C. Titus Brown&#39;s blog post on how science could be so much better if scientitic data and the software used to work with it were openly available for reuse. One problem he mentions, like many others have done before, is the lack of incentive for publishing anything else but standard scientific papers. What matters for a scientist&#39;s career and for grant applications is papers, papers, papers.
How Civil Societies Are Undermined
Authors: Gabor Eugen 
Published: July 2024

Several studies highlight the fact that the first decades of the 21st century are characterized by a resurgence of authoritarianism, which contradicts the optimistic visions of the 1990s regarding the so-called end of history. For instance, Freedom House argues, presenting relevant data, that since 2006, a process of democratic backsliding has been in place worldwide. Not only developing countries or regions are affected but also countries in Europe and Northern America, where democracy once seemed inexpugnable. This illiberal wave thrives on the weaknesses of civil societies and has the effect of further reducing the dimensions of the civic space. Although those who promote open societies are on the defensive, their cause is far from being an obsolete remnant of the second half of the 20th century. However, their endeavors can be ineffective if the causes of the antidemocratic forces’ success are not properly acknowledged. The main goal of this paper is to contribute to a better understanding of the factors that are vital for building or strengthening closed societies. To shape relevant conclusions, we analyze information from projects like People Power under Attack, realized by the CIVICUS global civil society network or V-Dem (The Varieties of Democracy), managed by an institute affiliated with the University of Gothenburg (Sweden). We focus especially on countries that experienced sharp transformations regarding the state of their civil societies in the last 3–5 years. Our findings underline, among others, the importance of the electoral process and foreign policy influencing the evolution of the civic space. Cases like the Czech Republic suggest that the decline of civil society can be stopped at the polls. The Russian Federation is an example of a successful suspension of civic freedoms under the pretext of protecting the population from toxic foreign interference.
Threshold computation for fault detection in linear discrete‐time Markov jump systems
Authors: Saijai Jedsada , Ding Steven X. , Abdo Ali , Shen Bo , Damlakhi Waseem 
Published: September 2013

SUMMARYThis paper proposes a threshold computation scheme for an observer‐based fault detection (FD) in linear discrete‐time Markovian jump systems. An observer‐based FD scheme typically consists of two stages known as residual generation and residual evaluation. Even information of faults is contained inside a residual signal, a decision of faults occurrence is consequently made by a residual evaluation stage, which consists of residual evaluation function and threshold setting. For this reason, a successful FD strongly depends on a threshold setting for a given residual evaluation function. In this paper, Kalman filter (KF) is used as a residual generator. Based on an accessibility of Markov chain to KF, two types of residual generations are considered, namely mode‐dependent and mode‐independent residual generation. After that threshold is computed in a residual evaluation stage such that a maximum fault detection rate is achieved, for a given false alarm rate. Without any knowledge of a probability density function of residual signal before and after fault occurrence, a threshold is computed by using an estimation of residual evaluation function variance in a fault‐free case. Finally, a detection performance is demonstrated by a numerical example. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
On the Way Towards Greener Transition‐Metal‐Catalyzed Processes as Quantified by E Factors
Authors: Lipshutz Bruce H. , Isley Nicholas A. , Fennewald James C. , Slack Eric D. 
Published: September 2013

AbstractTransition‐metal‐catalyzed carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatom bond formations are among the most heavily used types of reactions in both academic and industrial settings. As important as these are to the synthetic community, such cross‐couplings come with a heavy price to our environment, and sustainability. E Factors are one measure of waste created, and organic solvents, by far, are the main contributors to the high values associated, in particular, with the pharmaceutical and fine‐chemical companies which utilize these reactions. An alternative to organic solvents in which cross‐couplings are run can be found in the form of micellar catalysis, wherein nanoparticles composed of newly introduced designer surfactants enable the same cross‐couplings, albeit in water, with most taking place at room temperature. In the absence of an organic solvent as the reaction medium, organic waste and hence, E Factors, drop dramatically.
Foam‐like polymer/clay aerogels which incorporate air bubbles
Authors: Viggiano Rocco P. , Gawryla Matthew D. , Schiraldi David A. 
Published: September 2013

ABSTRACTThe structure/property relationships of polymer/clay aerogels interfused with uniformly distributed air bubbles were examined. Through the incorporation of a polyelectrolyte in a montmorillonite(MMT) clay solution, the viscosity was systematically changed by the addition of ions with different charges. The bubbles were achieved via high speed mixing and were stabilized through the use of the surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). As the charge of the ion increased from +1 (Na+ ions) to +2 (Ca2+ ions) to finally +3 (Al3+ ions), the modulus of the resultant aerogels increased. The foamed polymer/clay aerogels showed a reduction in thermal conductivity while retaining similar mechanical properties to unfoamed polymer/clay aerogels. The most promising composition was one which contained 5% MMT clay/5% poly(vinyl alcohol)/0.5% xanthum gum/0.5% SDS/0.2% Al2(SO4)3·6(H2O) possessing a density of 0.083 g/cm3, an average modulus of 3.0 MPa, and a thermal conductivity of 41 W/m·K. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Published: September 2013

ABSTRACTThe effect of the particle size of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and the incorporation of chitosan (CH) on the mechanical and thermal properties and the biocompatibility of acrylic bone cements were investigated. Three groups of bone cements were prepared with different PMMA particles. Groups 1 (BC1) and 2 (BC2) contained ground and sieved PMMA with particle sizes in the ranges 50–150 μm and 1–50 μm, and group 3 (BC3) contained synthesized PMMA microspheres with a size of about 1 μm. The mechanical properties of the three groups were similar, but their curing properties were significantly affected. The presence of CH improved the mechanical and thermal properties. For the BC1 group, the compressive strength increased more than 10 MPa, and the curing temperature decreased 12°. The cement having the optimum properties (BC1) was applied to rats, where it enhanced the bone bonding ability, and bioactivity was observed. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

Published: September 2013

The purpose of this study was to investigate the agreement between parent and child report of potential traumas experienced, to look at the agreement by interpersonal versus non‐interpersonal traumas and by gender. A birth cohort of 1723 children and their parents was followed from three months until 12 years after birth (South East Sweden Birth Cohort (SESBiC) study). At 12‐year follow‐up, 1174 children, 875 mothers and 601 fathers completed the Life Incidence of Traumatic Events (LITE) questionnaire. Cohen's kappa was used to assess the agreement between parent and child reports of traumas experienced by the child. The group was split by gender and kappa statistics were computed to determine the level of agreement between the different informants. The sample was also analysed according to the nature of the traumatic event: interpersonal or non‐interpersonal. Agreement was low across most types of traumas reported between parents and children and moderate between mothers and fathers. Agreement was lower when the trauma was interpersonal. No significant discrepancies in general were found on gender. The study highlights the importance of from whom the researcher collects information. In future research, it is important to study the significance the choice of information source might have on reported symptoms and behavioural problems.

For children and pre‐adolescents, reliance on parents for emotional support and attention is necessary.
Parents need to recognise potential traumatic experiences in order for consultation or treatment to be obtained.
Lack of parental recognition of the traumas experienced by the child is likely to result in a failure to seek the intervention required and, consequently, to poorer outcomes for the child.
The importance of turning directly to the child for information is highlighted.
The Future‐Shaping Function of the Governing Board
Authors: Gillett‐Karam Rosemary 
Published: September 2013

AbstractPrevailing research tends to narrow the starting view of most authors, including those who write about community colleges and their governing boards in common terms of organizational structure, management style, roles and responsibilities, personality issues, and so forth. But this essay focuses more on one particular topic: the unique relationship between boards and the urban colleges they serve, from the perspective of a university professor who also serves as a community college trustee.
The New Community College Business and Finance Model
Authors: Myran Gunder 
Published: September 2013

AbstractThe term “community college business and finance model” is unlikely to evoke a positive response from educators who resist labeling students as “customers,” do not want to call the college's offerings “products,” and don't like to hear the college referred to as a “business.” Faculty and staff tend to be conservative and risk‐averse when confronted with major institutional changes that they feel diminish the distinctiveness of the college, its academic freedom, their special relationship with students, and obligation to the public good. These are all valid concerns. But they should guide rather than deter the necessary transformation of business and finance operations to become leaner, smarter, more efficient, more creative, and more focused in response to new financial constraints and changing demographic, economic, technological, and social realities.
Efficient Construction of Pyrano[3,2‐a]carbazoles: Application to a Biomimetic Total Synthesis of Cyclized Monoterpenoid Pyrano[3,2‐a]carbazole Alkaloids

Published: September 2013

AbstractWe have developed a highly efficient route to 2‐hydroxy‐3‐methylcarbazole (1) via a palladium‐catalyzed construction of the carbazole skeleton. Using 1 as relay compound, different methods for annulations of pyran rings by reaction with terpenoid building blocks have been tested. The Lewis acid promoted reaction of 1 with prenal (21) opened up an efficient route to girinimbine (3) and the corresponding reaction with citral (25) afforded mahanimbine (5). Oxidation of compounds 3 and 5 provided murrayacine (4) and murrayacinine (6). Following the biogenetic proposal, mahanimbine (5) has been exploited for efficient biomimetic syntheses of the cyclized monoterpenoid pyrano[3,2‐a]carbazole alkaloids cyclomahanimbine (7), mahanimbidine (8) and bicyclomahanimbine (9). The interconversions of 5, 7, 8 and 9 are described and mechanistic implications are discussed. Structural assignments are unambiguously verified by X‐ray crystal structure determinations. Moreover, cyclomahanimbine (7) was transformed into murrayazolinine (10) and exozoline (11).
