Published: July 2024

A study was carried out to find out the effect of housing on serum biochemical parameters of Nellore Jodipi lambs under tropical environmental conditions. Thirty weaned Nellore ram lambs of 3-4 months age were selected based on body weight and randomly divided into three groups of ten animals each. Temperature and humidity values were significantly (P<0.05) different among all the groups. The mean serum biochemical parameters like creatinine, urea, sodium, potassium, calcium, ALT and AST were significantly (P<0.05) higher in group II (1.75±1.00 mg/dl, 21.23±1.00 mg/dl, 150.16±1.00 mmol/L, 4.76±0.22 mmol/L, 12.87±1.00 mg/dl, 243.38±1.00 IU/L, 32.03±1.00I U/L) when compared to group I (1.36±1.00 mg/dl, 13.71±1.00 mg/dl, 144.95±1.0 mmol/L, 4.55±0.22 mmol/L, 12.06±1.00 mg/dl, 171.77±1.00 IU/L, 26.93±1.00 IU/L) and group III (1.32±1.00 mg/dl, 8.96±1.00 mg/dl, 141.77±1.00 mmol/L, 3.99±1.00 mmol/L, 11.27±1.00 mg/dl, 124.53±1.00 IU/L, 23.88±1.00 IU/L) respectively, whereas, other parameters like glucose was significantly (P<0.05) lower in group II (39.07±1.00 mg/dl) when compared to group I (55.41±1.00 mg/dl) and III (75.26±1.00 mg/dl). It was concluded that the housing system of elevated slatted flooring with galvalume roofing proved to be effective in controlling heat stress and maintaining normal serum biochemical parameters of Nellore ram lambs.
Status of Pig Rearing Practices in the Urban Districts of Uttarakhand
Authors: Sahu Khusbu , Gupta Sandeep Kumar 
Published: July 2024

Uttarakhand, a mountainous state located on the southern slope of the Himalayas, relies heavily on animal husbandry for its economy. However, the piggery sector in the state is unorganized and insufficient to meet the growing demand for pork. Moreover, the increasing urbanization and deforestation in the planar districts have blurred the boundaries between wildlife, livestock and human habitats. This study through a household survey approach aims to determine the socio-economic characteristics of the pig rearing community, the pig husbandry practices they adopt and also assess the ecological impacts of pig farming in urban districts of Uttarakhand. 28 households were surveyed and analysis of the result shows dismal socio-economic condition of the pig rearing community. Furthermore, 28.6% maintained breeding boar of feral origin and 96.94% followed semi-intensive pig rearing practices; hence human settlements have stayed in close association with pigs (domestic and wild) and other domestic animals. The possibility of the emergence of zoonotic disease and its easy transmission to humans has become more prominent in the urban setting. The findings of this study provide a preliminary picture of the current status of pig husbandry practices and challenges faced by piggery sector and government can take into account these crucial insights for a holistic piggery development program in the state.

Published: July 2024

A study was carried out at an organized pig farm in Kalyani, West Bengal, to assess effectiveness of management practices like teat dipping and floor mopping on reduction of bacterial load and diarrhoeal incidence during pre-weaning period in piglets. Twenty lactating sows of Ghoongroo breed along with their newborn piglets (146 nos.) during pre-weaning period were studied. In group 1 (control) floor of each farrowing pen was washed with normal water. In group 2, additionally teats of each sow were treated with 10% povidone iodine dip. In group 3 floor of each farrowing pen was washed with normal water followed by mopping with 0.25% potassium permanganate. In group 4 both sow teat dipping and sty floor mopping with disinfectant was done. It was observed that the average bacterial load during the total pre-weaning period of 8 weeks was 48.4x103± 5.3 x103 cfu/cm2 in control group, whereas the average bacterial load was 34.0 x103±1.2X103 and 7.18 x102±0.10 x102 cfu/cm2 before and after teat dip application in group 2, and 32.5 x103±1.3 x103 cfu/cm2 and 6.98 x102±0.11 x102 cfu/cm2 in group 4, respectively, indicating positive impact of teat dipping as well as disinfectant floor mopping in reducing the bacterial loads of sow teats. Regular teat dipping and sty floor mopping can improve the body growth of piglets, by reducing the occurrence of piglet diarrhoea. Thus, the chances of economic losses in pig production unit can be reduced.
Assessment of neurocognitive function in patients with Behçet’s disease
Authors: Ghaleb Rasha M. , Said Hussin M. 
Published: July 2024

IntroductionThere is limited knowledge on cognitive performance in Behçet’s disease (BD), the majority of which come from patients with neuro-Behçet’s disease. However, the influence of BD on cognitive function in patients without neurological involvement is still not well understood.
The aim of the study was to determine the frequency of cognitive involvement in BD patients without evident neuropsychiatric symptoms and to identify associated clinical variables in those patients.Material and methodsForty BD patients who fulfilled the diagnostic International Criteria for Behçet ‘s Disease (ICBD) without obvious neuropsychiatric manifestations were studied and compared with forty healthy controls matched for age, sex, and education. A comprehensive medical history, rheumatological, neurological, psychiatric, and psychometric assessment were applied for all patients. Behçet’s disease Current Activity Form (BDCAF) was used to assess disease activity. For patients as well as controls, validated Arabic versions of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised and Wechsler Memory Scale-Revised were used for assessment of cognitive function. Anxiety and depression were additionally assessed for both groups using the anxiety and depression subdivisions of the Arabic Version of Symptom Checklist 90 Revised.ResultsCognitive impairment was identified in 37.5% of BD patients compared to none of the controls. Memory represents the cognitive domain most frequently affected. Cognitive involvement was significantly associated with current corticosteroid use and depression as measured by SCL-90-R. On the other hand, neither the activity of the disease nor the level of anxiety was associated with cognitive involvement.ConclusionsCognitive dysfunction is reported in BD patients distinctly and independently of clinically overt neurologic involvement. Prevalence of cognitive impairment in patients with BD is strikingly high at 37.5%, whereas the control group exhibited no such signs. Psychological assessment should be performed for every BD patient to reveal any cognitive involvement. It is highly recommended to encourage psychological intervention to prevent any further deterioration, especially in patients who are experiencing depression or currently using corticosteroids.

Authors: ЯКОВЛЕВ А.Ю. 
Published: July 2024

В государственной собственности России, наряду с небольшими и средними хозяйственными обществами, присутствуют холдинговые образования. Период активного создания государственных холдингов начался относительно недавно, в первое десятилетие 2000-х гг., и продолжается с разной интенсивностью до сих пор. Преимущественно акционером вертикально интегрированных структур выступает Российская Феде- рация. В региональном владении они встречаются значительно реже. В настоящей работе разобраны общие и частные вопросы правового регулирования управления холдингами государственного типа.
In state ownership of Russia, along with small and medium-sized companies, there are holding entities. The period of active formation of state holdings began relatively recently, in the first decade of the 2000s, and continues with varying intensity to this day. The predominantly shareholder of vertically integrated structures is the Russian Federation. In the regional ownership hey are much less common. This paper examines general and specific issues of legal regulation of governance of state-owned holdings.

В данной статье изучается сравнительный анализ состояния преступности в Европейском союзе (на примере Болгарии) и России. Доказывается, что состояние преступности в разных странах является отраже- нием геополитических событий последних лет. Обсуждается повышение показателей в европейских странах по таким видам преступлений, как кражи, грабеж и убийства, в то время как российские показатели стремятся к су- щественному уменьшению. Анализируются причины столь разной картины преступности в странах ЕС и России.
This article examines a comparative analysis of the state of crime in the European Union as a whole, using the example of Bulgaria and Russia in particular. It is proved that the state of crime in different countries is a reflection of the geopolitical events of recent years. The increase in indicators in European countries for such types of crimes as theft, robbery and murder is discussed, while Russian indicators tend to significantly decrease. The reasons for such a different crime pattern in the EU and Russia are analyzed.

Introduction. The issue of choosing the optimal anesthesia that is least dangerous to the patient’s life is still the main concern of the workers in the anesthesia and intensive care department, including techniques, medications, plans, and instructions followed in order to choose the best anesthesia. It can also be said that spinal anesthesia is the best and most standard anesthesia for those who repair hernia.The aim of the study — learn about obtaining and verifying hemodynamic stability in patients undergoing hernia repair under anesthesia.Materials and methods. An accurate and recent study of patients attending Al-Hussein Medical City and Al-Hassan Hospital in the city of Karbala. We included 100 patients who underwent a herniotomy, were divided into two groups on the types of general and spinal anesthesia. Fifty patients received general anesthesia and 50 patients received spinal anesthesia. Data related to the patient’s age, weight, change in blood pressure and pulse rate were analyzed. The study analyzed patients aged 20–90, dividing them into two groups: general anesthesia (GA) and spinal anesthesia (SA), for careful follow-up before, during, and after operations.Results. We show that it is also more stable in SA which is about 56 % in comparison to GA which is about 40 % but increased blood pressure is more in GA which was 32 % and 24 % in SA, but decreased blood pressure is also more in GA which was 28 % and in SA was 20 %. In this study, as shown, there is more stability in heart rate, which is 56 % in SA but in GA it is 32 % and the increase in heart rate was 34 % in SA but was 60 % in GA. The decreased heart rate was 10 % in SA and about 8 % in GA and the effect of SA is more stable.Conclusions. We found spinal anesthesia was more than general anesthesia in stability of blood pressure and heart rate and minimum or normal.

Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND
Tobacco use is a well-documented modifiable risk factor for perioperative complications.
AIM
To determine the tobacco abstinence rates of patients who made cessation efforts prior to a total joint arthroplasty (TJA) procedure.
METHODS
A retrospective evaluation was performed on 88 self-reported tobacco users who underwent TJA between 2014-2022 and had tobacco cessation dates within 3 mo of surgery. Eligible patients were contacted via phone survey to understand their tobacco use pattern, and patient reported outcomes. A total of 37 TJA patients participated.
RESULTS
Our cohort was on average 61-years-old, 60% (n = 22) women, with an average body mass index of 30 kg/m2. The average follow-up time was 2.9 ± 1.9 years. A total of 73.0% (n = 27) of patients endorsed complete abstinence from tobacco use prior to surgery. Various cessation methods were used perioperatively including prescription therapy (13.5%), over the counter nicotine replacement (18.9%), cessation programs (5.4%). At final follow up, 43.2% (n = 16) of prior tobacco smokers reported complete abstinence. Patients who were able to maintain cessation postoperatively had improved Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS)-10 mental health scores (49 vs 58; P = 0.01), and hip dysfunction and osteoarthritis outcome score for joint replacement (HOOS. JR) scores (63 vs 82; P = 0.02). No patients in this cohort had a prosthetic joint infection or required revision surgery.
CONCLUSION
We report a tobacco cessation rate of 43.2% in patients undergoing elective TJA nearly 3 years postoperatively. Patients undergoing TJA who were able to remain abstinent had improved PROMIS-10 mental health scores and HOOS. JR scores. The perioperative period provides clinicians a unique opportunity to assist active tobacco smokers with cessation efforts and improve postoperative outcomes.

Higher Education: Mobility, Movement, and Risk
Authors: Bernard-Donals Michael 
Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT
With higher education in a state of flux, it’s time to more clearly understand what flux—mobility—means for the work of faculty at colleges and universities. With threats to shared governance, tenure, and academic freedom representing one sort of change, what would it mean for faculty to lean into the vulnerability that they are experiencing? Mobility has consequences: one of them is the risk of harm; another is the potential to destabilize concepts and entities. This article is an argument for faculty to lean into vulnerability, with all of the consequences attached to it, in order to change the trajectory of higher education in an era of flux, but recognizing that doing so will require courage and new forms of solidarity.
Blood, Sweat, and Sex: A Note on the Erotic Power of Gladiator Sweat
Authors: Paule Maxwell 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
There is no ancient evidence that corroborates the frustratingly popular claim that Romans collected and sold gladiator sweat as an aphrodisiac, and the claim itself only exists as an amalgam of the following facts: (1) athletes’ gloios was collected and sold for medicinal purposes, (2) gladiators were objects of erotic desire, and (3) gladiator-themed Roman vessels were fairly popular. Any attempt to construe those observations into support for aphrodisiac gladiator sweat is countered by the fact that (1) the collection and use of gloios was viewed by Pliny as a disgusting Greek (not Roman) practice, (2) no source records the collection of gloios from gladiators, (3) gloios has no recorded aphrodisiac usages, and (4) the only evidence for magico-medical uses of gladiatorial fluids are not erotic and call for their blood, not sweat. Moreover, the claim that Romans collected and sold gladiator sweat does not predate the early 2000s and may have its origins in an article from Sports Illustrated.
