The number of patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is growing every year. Due to the high comorbidity of such patients, the search for factors that influence the course of the disease and outcome is of particular importance. Indications for studying the functional state of the thyroid gland, as well as recommendations for the treatment of thyroid dysfunction in patients with ESRD have not been developed.THE AIM: to study indicators of thyroid status and identify clinically significant variants of the euthyroid pathology syndrome in patients with ESRD on program hemodialysis (PHD).PATIENTS AND METHODS. The study included 123 patients with ESRD undergoing PHD. A cross-sectional study was conducted to examine thyroid function parameters in patients with ESCKD undergoing PHD. All patients were assessed for the levels of thyroidstimulating hormone (TSH), free triiodothyronine (free T3) and free thyroxine (free T4), the comorbidity index, which was calculated using the Charlson scale, the effectiveness of program hemodialysis using Kt/V, and the urea reduction coefficient (URR).RESULTS. Increased TSH levels were associated with higher body mass index in the studied patients. “Low T3” syndrome is associated with older age and high comorbidity. The high level of T4 in the examined patients is also associated with old age, high comorbidity and a KT/V index below the target values.CONCLUSION. The TSH level in patients with endstage renal insufficiency on programmed hemodialysis does not reflect the true functional state of the thyroid gland.

BACKGROUND: CKD is one of the main comorbidities in those who die from COVID-19. Renal injury is the most common nonpulmonary infection of SARS-CoV-2 and has a wide range of manifestations, ranging from mild proteinuria and hematuria to progressive acute kidney injury (AKI) requiring renal replacement therapy (RRT).THE AIM: to study the features of the course of the new coronavirus infection COVID-19 in patients with chronic kidney disease.PATIENTS AND METHODS: The study included 79 patients with confirmed new coronavirus infection COVID-19 who hospitalized. The first group consisted of people with a history of CKD (44 people), the second group included people without a history of CKD (35 people). The diagnosis of CKD established based on the calculation of glomerular filtration rate using the CKD-EPI formula. The comorbidity index calculated using two scales: Charlson and CIRS-G. Statistical data analysis carried out using the Statistica 12.0 application package (StatSoft Inc., USA).RESULTS: Patients with COVID-19 and CKD had a higher comorbidity index: according to the Charlson index in one group of patients the indicator was 7 [5.0-9.0], and in group 2 it was 5 [4.0-6.0] (p<0.001). According to the CIRS-G index, in one group the indicator was 9 [7-11.5], in two group it was 4 [2-6] (p <0.001). Patients in one group had a greater degree of damage to the lung tissue according to MSCT of the OGK; in laboratory tests, the levels of CRP, ferritin, LDH, and d-dimer were higher; leukocytosis with a neutrophil shift in the leukocyte count observed.CONCLUSION: Patients with a history of chronic kidney disease (CKD) had more severe COVID-19 and higher mortality.

Los surfactantes son el ingrediente principal o sustancia activa de un detergente, gracias a la capacidad que tienen de romper la tensión superficial del agua, es que ocurre la detergencia, definida como la eliminación de sustancias no deseadas de una superficie sólida puesta en contacto con un líquido. Su estructura consta de una parte de naturaleza polar que presenta afinidad al agua (hidrofílica) y otra naturaleza apolar que presenta afinidad hacia sustancias no polares (hidrófobo). Por ello, atendiendo a la importancia para la economía y cubrimiento de necesidades de los individuos como agente de limpieza y de cuidado personal entre otros, se tiene en cuenta el impacto que genera al medio ambiente una vez que son utilizados, pues en la mayoría de los casos son agentes transformadoras de agua y ecosistemas sino se asumen procesos responsables para su degradación. En este estudio de investigación se llevó a cabo un diseño experimental para la degradación del surfactante comercial Ácido Dodecil Benceno Sulfónico (ADBS) mediante el proceso Fenton, mismo que se obtuvo del uso de un software estadístico. Después de los tratamientos con el proceso Fenton se determinó la relación óptima de cloruro férrico con peróxido de hidrógeno (37.68 mg/L de FeCl3 y 53.41 mg/L de H2O2) para obtener un 100% de degradación del surfactante en un tiempo menor de 2 horas, asimismo se concluyó que el pH tiene un efecto significativo en el potencial de oxidación de radicales ·OH.

Published: July 2024

Purpose
This study aims to explore how the microarchitectural features of lacunae and perilacunar zones impact the biomechanics of microdamage accumulation in cortical bone, crucial for understanding bone disorders' pathogenesis and developing preventive measures.
Methods
Utilizing the phase-field finite element method, the study analyzed three bone unit models with varying microarchitecture: one without lacunae, one with lacunae, and one including perilacunar zones, to assess their effects on cortical bone's biomechanical properties.
Results
The presence of lacunae was found to increase microcrack initiation risk, acting as nucleation points and accelerating microcrack propagation. Proximity to Haversian canals exacerbated stress concentration, speeding microdamage progression. Conversely, perilacunar zones mitigated both initiation and propagation. An elevated critical energy release rate correlated with slower crack growth and reduced damage severity.
Conclusions
The research sheds light on the intricate mechanisms governing microcrack behavior in compact bone, highlighting the significant role of bone's microarchitectural features in its biomechanical response to microdamage. These insights are valuable for the development of strategies to prevent and treat bone-related disorders.

Purpose
The utilization of intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) and Impella has been suggested as means of left ventricular unloading in veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) patients. This study aims to assess the local hemodynamic alterations in VA-ECMO patients through simulation analyses.
Methods
In this study, a 0D-3D multiscale model was developed, wherein resistance conditions were employed to define the flow-pressure relationship. An idealized model was employed for the aorta, and simulations were conducted to contrast the hemodynamics supported by two configurations: VA-ECMO combined with IABP, and VA-ECMO combined with Impella.
Results
Relative to VA-ECMO alone, the combination treatment had the following differences:(1) Overall mean mass flow rate increased significantly when combined with Impella and did not change significantly when combined with IABP. Blood flow pulsatility was the strongest in ECMO+IABP, and blood flow pulsatility was significantly suppressed in ECMO+Impella. (2) For all arterial inlets, HI was decreased with ECMO+Impella and increased with ECMO+IABP. (3) The flow field did not change much with ECMO+IABP, with better blood flow compliance, whereas the flow field was relatively more chaotic and disorganized with ECMO+Impella. (4) The difference between shear stress values in ECMO+IABP and ECMO alone was small, and ECMO+Impella (P6) had the largest shear stress values.
Conclusions
Variances in hemodynamic efficacy between VA-ECMO combined with IABP and VA-ECMO combined with Impella may underlie divergent prognoses and complications. The approach to ventricular unloading during ECMO and the degree of support should be meticulously tailored to individual patient conditions, as they represent pivotal factors influencing vascular complications.

Published: July 2024

A comparative study is presented between two advanced flexible hybrid electronics (FHE) systems designed for monitoring temperature within storage containers across various industries, including food, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, automotive, and defense. The first system, a copper-flex system (CFS), employs an 88.9 µm polyimide substrate with 35 µm thick copper traces, coated with a 12.5 µm polyimide solder mask. The second system, a printed-flex system (PFS), utilizes a 127 µm polyimide substrate with high-temperature resistance and tensile strength. Conductive silver ink was screen-printed on the PFS substrate, and electronic components including a temperature sensor were attached. Functional and reliability tests were performed to check the accuracy and durability of the temperature sensor. Further, environmental and mechanical characterizations including moisture and insulation resistance, corrosion, elongation, bending, and terminal bond strength tests were performed based on ASTM and IPC-TM650 standards. Moisture and insulation resistance test on the PFS test coupons without a coating layer indicated stable resistance of approximately 18 MΩ, while permanent color change indicated oxidation of copper on uncoated CFS test coupons. After 72 hours of corrosion test, both the CFS and PFS “meander line” test coupons covered with polyimide showed negligible change in weight and resistance, approximately 0.35%. A Young’s modulus of 7.17 GPa and 2.6 GPa was calculated from the elongation test for the CFS and PFS, respectively. Bending tests on PFS revealed negligible average resistance change (0.1%) during 180° bending cycles, while no impact was recorded on the CFS. During the terminal bond strength test, soldered wires detached from the CFS test coupons at an average force of 43 N, while it was 3.8 N on the PFS test coupons. Both systems with polyimide coating layer demonstrate robustness and reliability for diverse applications in various industries.

Abstract
We report on a comprehensive study of interplanetary type III radio bursts linked to X-class solar flares from NOAA active region 13664, which instigated the intense 2024 Mother’s Day solar storm, marked by a geomagnetic storm of −412 nT, the strongest in over two decades. Utilizing novel localization techniques with direction-finding data from STEREO-A, we identify an average eastward drift of 13.°42 ± 11.°63 in radio source locations relative to GOES observations. Our analysis reveals a significant correlation between solar flare intensity and longitude (Kendall’s tau = 0.535) and a strong correlation between radio flux at 1 MHz and GOES 1–8 Å soft X-ray flux (Kendall’s tau = 0.648). The timing analysis shows that peak soft X-ray fluxes typically follow electron beam liftoff by 3.24 ± 4.42 minutes. These insights into solar radio burst propagation and localization enhance our understanding of solar–terrestrial interactions and improve space weather forecasting capabilities.

Authors: Metkar Gauri Shrikrishna , Saraf Shalaka Prakash , Nagare Mangala Rajesh 
Published: July 2024

Summary
A prospective observational study was conducted in a rural tertiary health-care hospital in the Maval region to analyze sociodemographic contributors, clinical profile, and outcomes in snake envenomation. Fifty-eight patients with confirmed snakebites admitted to the hospital from November 2019 to August 2021 were studied. Snakebite was found to be the most common in middle-aged adult male agricultural population while working outdoors in the daytime. Bleeding from the bite site and other areas such as the oral cavity, swelling, and bluish discoloration of the affected limb were the clinical features observed. Complications such as cellulitis and acute kidney injury were detected in 81% of patients. Despite this, there was no mortality or permanent disability in any of the patients. The knowledge of risk factors can help the vulnerable agrarian population to protect themselves from snakebites. Good medical facilities such as intensive care units, laboratory support, and availability of antisnake venom and blood products are important determinants in final patient outcome.

Authors: Yadav Aparna Singh , Sarkar Sonali , Chinnakali Palanivel , Soundappan Govindarajan 
Published: July 2024

Background:
The shift of focus toward pandemic control had an impact on public health issues that need to be addressed. As the impact may vary in the different areas based on COVID-19 cases and strictness of measures to control the disease, studying the local situation and related factors is essential to strengthening the TB program.

Objectives:
The objective is to compare the TB care before and during the COVID-19 pandemic and to explore the challenges faced by stakeholders during the pandemic.

Materials and Methods:
A mixed method study was conducted in Puducherry with a quantitative phase involving data extraction from the National TB Elimination Programme (NTEP), followed by in-depth interviews to explore the challenges faced by stakeholders.

Results:
In 2020, there were 67% and 23% reductions in number of presumptive TB case and notified TB cases, respectively, while the decline was lesser in the year 2021 (reduction of 59% and 13%, respectively). The main challenges faced in providing and accessing TB care were social stigma, lockdown restrictions, fear of getting COVID-19, redeployment of staff to COVID-19-related activities and increased COVID-19 workload.

Conclusions:
There is a need to strengthen active case finding for the missed TB cases through the mobile vans equipped with diagnostics, combined testing for COVID-19 and TB, greater inclusion of private sector and dispensaries as well as community awareness for stigma prevention.

Published: July 2024

Background:
To trigger quit intention and practice of preventive measures for COVID-19 among tobacco users; it is imperative for them to be well aware of the fact that they are at higher risk of COVID-19 infection and should be at higher efficacy to practice preventive measures for the disease as compared to nonusers of tobacco.

Objectives:
This community-based cross-sectional analytical study was conducted from April 2020 to May 2020 among 1203 adult participants to compare the threat and efficacy perception among users and nonusers of tobacco.

Materials and Methods:
Perception of threat was assessed using three questions on perceived threat and one question on perceived susceptibility; whereas perception of efficacy was assessed using four questions each on self-efficacy and response efficacy through telephonic interview.

Results:
There was no significant difference in the overall threat perception among users and nonusers of tobacco. However, state-wise analysis showed that tobacco users had higher perception of threat for SARS-CoV-2 infection in all the states except Telangana. The overall perception of efficacy among tobacco users was significantly higher as compared to nonusers of tobacco.

Conclusion:
The study calls for active collaboration between tobacco control enthusiasts and the Government to promote awareness of a higher risk of COVID-19 disease among tobacco users. In essence, the study’s implications extend beyond COVID-19 and can guide targeted efforts to promote awareness, behavior change, and collaboration in the context of other infectious diseases among tobacco users.

Published: July 2024

Background:
Diabetes mellitus (DM) and depression are major public health problems globally. Evidence of linkage of common mental disorders (CMDs) including depression and anxiety disorders with DM is sparsely reported from community-based settings.

Objective:
The present study aimed to study the association between CMDs and DM among adult population (>30 years) residing in a rural area of North India.

Materials and Methods:
A community-based case–control study was conducted in 28 villages of Ballabgarh block of Faridabad district of Haryana. Cases (diabetes) were recruited from the community with at least 1 year of diabetes. Age- and sex-matched two neighborhood controls were selected from the same community. Diabetic status was confirmed using glycated hemoglobin. CMDs such as depression and anxiety disorders were screened using PRIME-MD Hindi version. Conditional logistic regression was used to study the relationship between diabetes and CMDs.

Results:
Total 211 cases (diabetic) and 273 controls (nondiabetic) were approached for the study, of which 173 cases and 175 controls were analyzed. Cases and controls were comparable with respect to age, sex, and socioeconomic status. CMDs were found more among cases as compared to controls (67.5% vs. 37.5%) (P < 0.001). On conditional logistic regression analysis, CMDs were significantly higher among diabetes cases (adjusted odds ratio – 3.2, 95% confidence interval: 1.9–5.2).

Conclusion:
Strong evidence of coexistence of CMDs and DM from this population-based study necessitates the need of incorporation of management of CMDs into diabetes control program in India.
