Authors: Filipchuk Marianna 
Published: May 2024

Fundamentalne zasady demokracji przewidują stworzenie równych możliwości samorealizacji osobowości, niezależnie od jej płci, wieku, narodowości i pochodzenia społecznego. Ukraina, deklarując się jako państwo prawne, socjalne i demokratyczne, wzięło na siebie odpowiedzialność za zapewnienie równych praw i szans kobietom i mężczyznom, chroniąc ich przed wszelkimi formami przemocy i dyskryminacji ze względu na płeć. W związku z agresją Federacji Rosyjskiej kwestia równouprawnienia płci w Ukrainie od 2014 roku nieustannie podlega aktywnym przemianom, a od 2022 roku, kiedy rozpoczęła się wojna na pełną skalę, zmiany te są coraz większe. Celem napisania artykułu jest analiza tematu równości płci w Siłach Zbrojnych Ukrainy, zmian wizerunku kobiet wojowniczek w dyskursie publicznym, wypowiedziach polityków oraz wpływ nierówności na ukraińskie społeczeństwo. Czy zmiany norm prawa zapełnią lukę braku równości płci i jak te zmiany odbierają obywatelki Ukrainy, które bronią swojego państwa.

A doença renal crônica é considerada problema de saúde pública em todo o mundo. No Brasil, a incidência e a prevalência de falência de função renal estão aumentando; o prognóstico ainda é ruim e os custos do tratamento da doença são altíssimos. Essa doença é multifatorial apresentando inúmeras vezes com alterações laboratoriais diversas e sua interpretação ultrapassa a simples avaliação das concentrações séricas de creatinina e uréia. Independentemente da etiologia da doença de base, os principais desfechos em pacientes com DRC são as suas complicações, decorrentes da perda funcional renal, óbito e perda de função renal. Assim, o diagnóstico precoce e manejo adequado é imprescindível, a fim de que se possa implementar hábitos de vida saudáveis como tratamento não-medicamentoso e, se necessário a adesão ao tratamento medicamentoso. Dessa forma, apesar de parecer simples, a aderência da maioria dos pacientes ao tratamento é difícil, o que ocasiona a piora do quadro da doença renal crônica. Assim, o objetivo do presente estudo é descrever o perfil epidemiológico dos pacientes internados por doença renal crônica no Espírito Santo entre os anos de 2019 a 2023.

Authors: Patil Shital , Dhumal Uttareshvar , Acharya Abhijit 
Published: May 2024

Abstract

Background:
Robust data on interleukin-6 (IL-6) are available in bacterial infection as marker of inflammation, and now it can be utilized in currently ongoing coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pneumonia pandemic to guide treatment strategy as marker of inflammation.

Methods:
Prospective, observational, and 12 weeks’ follow-up study, included 2000 COVID-19 cases confirmed with reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction. All cases were assessed with lung involvement documented and categorized on high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) thorax, oxygen saturation (SpO2), IL-6 at the entry point, and follow-up. Age, gender, comorbidity, and bilevel positive airway pressure/noninvasive ventilation (BIPAP/NIV) use and outcome as with or without lung fibrosis as per CT severity. Statistical analysis is done by the Chi-square test.

Results:
In a study of 2000 COVID-19 pneumonia cases, age (<50 and >50 years) and gender have a significant association with IL-6. HRCT severity score at entry point has a significant correlation with IL-6 level (P < 0.00001) IL-6 level has a significant association with duration of illness (P < 0.00001). Comorbidities have a significant association with IL-6 level (P < 0.00001). IL-6 level has a significant association with SpO2 (P < 0.00001). BIPAP/NIV requirement has significant association with IL-6 level (P < 0.00001). Timing of BIPAP/NIV requirement during the course of hospitalization has significant association with IL-6 level (P < 0.00001). Follow-up IL-6 titer during hospitalization as compared to entry point abnormal IL-6 has significant association in post-COVID lung fibrosis (P < 0.00001). Follow-up IL-6 titer during hospitalization as compared to entry point normal IL-6 has significant association in post-COVID lung fibrosis (P < 0.00001). Follow-up IL-6 titer during hospitalization as compared to entry point abnormal IL-6 has significant association in predicting cytokine storm irrespective normal or abnormal of IL-6 at the entry point (P < 0.0001).

Conclusions:
IL-6 is sensitive and reliable marker of inflammation helped in predicting cytokine storm COVID-19 pneumonia by analyzing sequential titers. Il-6 has very important role in predicting severity of illness, progression of illness, and need for ventilatory support. Sequential IL-6 titers predicted course during hospitalization and final radiological outcome as post-COVID ling fibrosis or post-COVID sequelae.

Authors: Jalan Vishal , Yadav Ravi Prakash , Das Madhusudan , Pal Dilip Kumar 
Published: May 2024

Introduction:
The purpose of this study was to screen the patients of West Bengal (India) with different types of renal cancer to see the presence of von Hippel–Lindau (VHL) gene mutations.

Materials and Methods:
This prospective study included 25 patients with renal cancer operated on between December 2019 and January 2022. Tumor tissue and adjacent normal tissue samples were taken and subjected to genomic DNA isolation, polymerase chain reaction, DNA sequencing, and identification of polymorphism in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients by comparing with a database using “ENSEMBL” (genome browser) followed by the role of identified variants in disease-causing using different software.

Results:
After analysis, we identified six exonic and one intronic variant in the VHL gene. rs34661876 A>G, AG genotype in intron 2–3 has increased the risk of RCC against the odd 6.729 times (P = 0.0041). It is present in 17 out of 25 case samples. rs1642742 G>A, AA genotype in exon 3 has increased the risk of RCC against the odd 22.167 times (P = 0.0001). It is present in 14 out of 25 case samples. The effect of these Single nucleotide polymorphism SNPs/mutations on VHL function were predicted by various bioinformatics software and it was found that rs1399097617 C>T, rs5030830 T>C, and rs1553620326 G>C are disease-causing.

Conclusion:
If any of the above-mentioned variants are detected in RCC patients, then they will be benefited from the agents that modulate the VHL-hypoxia-inducible factor pathway and will help in developing new strategies for the management of RCC.

Are there any abnormalities in lipid profile of post-COVID patients: A case–control study?
Authors: Paul Sritama , Paul Pritama , Mukhopadhyay Mousumi , Sarkar Niladri , Paul Uttam Kumar 
Published: May 2024

Background:
It is well known that viral infections alter lipid metabolism in a way that promotes viral proliferation. Numerous studies have shown that people with coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) have a significant impact on patients’ lipid profiles. To evaluate whether any lipid profile aberrations are still present in those who had COVID-19 infection more than 6 months ago, our purpose is to compare the lipid abnormalities in post-COVID patients to those in non-COVID patients.

Methods:
We have taken blood samples from 108 post-COVID-19 patients (cases) and 108 nonsmokers who are age- and sex-matched as controls. Using the blood sample, a lipid profile test was conducted to measure total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), very LDL, and triglycerides.

Results:
Data analysis demonstrates that all of the results are statistically significant, with the exception of the LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) value, which is statistically nonsignificant.

Conclusion:
With the exception of the LDL-C value in post-COVID-19 individuals, we were able to identify noticeable alterations in lipid profiles. It is a fact that most investigations have found abnormalities in lipid profiles during the disease’s acute phase. Future studies must examine whether the lipid profiles of individuals after COVID-19 underwent any discernible changes with a larger sample size and a longer study period.

Authors: Tyagi Aanchal , Tomar Nitin , Nazar Rana Mohd 
Published: May 2024

Abstract

Background:
The most common mucogingival defect is gingival recession (GR), which is characterized by apical displacement of the gingival margin from the cementoenamel junction and root exposure. Several techniques are available for treating GR and are collectively termed root coverage (RC) procedures. This study presents 3 months’ results of a randomized clinical trial comparing RC in areas of isolated GR by coronally advanced flap (CAF) with periosteum membrane and PerioCol® membrane.

Materials and Methods:
Twenty recession sites were selected for the study and further divided into two groups (Test group 1 [C AF + Periosteum membrane] and Test group 2 [CAF + Guided tissue regeneration membrane]) and completed the 3-month follow-up.

Result:
Satisfactory result obtained after three months in both the cases but CAF+Periosteum showed better and fast healing.

Conclusion:
Both treatment modalities showed a significant improvement in clinical parameters at 3 months postoperatively.
Ex vivo vaporization performance study of human prostate tissue using in-house designed thulium fiber laser
Authors: Maiti Krishnendu , Haldar Bikram , Pal Atasi , Gomes Vincent Akash , Pal Dilip Kumar 
Published: May 2024

Introduction:
Laser technologies including thulium, Holmium: Yttrium aluminum garnet (Ho: YAG), Potassium-titanyl-phosphate and diode laser have been explored in recent years for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia. These thermal modalities impart their effect through ablative and coagulative mechanisms of action. Although Ho: YAG laser is a gold standard clinical tool in urology, its properties are not sufficient for cutting or coagulation of prostatic tissue. Thulium: YAG laser is a promising alternative laser but with limitations. The recent technological advancements in thulium fiber laser (TFL) provide various advantages along with a compact system for urosurgical applications. This paper depicts the work done in initial validation of an in-house designed TFL in ex vivo vaporization and vaporesection of human prostatic tissue. Comparison of its ablation rate and coagulation zone was done with the existing laser systems.

Methods:
An in-house designed TFL having maximum continuous wave (CW) power level of 70 W at 1.94 mm optical wavelength had been used for the ex vivo experiment on human prostatic tissue. The rate of tissue vaporization and zone of thermal coagulation were assessed.

Results:
The in-house made (CSIR-CGCRI, Kolkata, India) CW TFL used at power of 60 W at 1.94 mm was capable of providing tissue vaporization rate of 0.13–0.45 g/min with a thermal coagulation zone of 100 mm.

Conclusions:
In our study, the TFL was efficient in vaporization, vaporesection, and coagulation of the prostatic tissue under controlled circumstances. Compared to the existing laser systems, the TFL could be a new alternative in Endourology.
The islanded nasolabial flap for tongue reconstruction – Experience in our institute
Authors: Karanjai Subhadeep , Barman Debasis , Sengupta Arunabha 
Published: May 2024

Background:
Oral cancer ranks in the top three of all cancers in India, which accounts for over thirty per cent of all cancers reported in the country. Tongue cancers make a significant percentage among the oral cancer burden. Unfortunately, patients rarely present to the surgeon with a tongue cancer lesion small enough for a primary closure. Hence we frequently need some type of flap for reconstruction of the tongue defect following ablative surgery. In defects that are not small enough for a primary closure as well as not big enough for a more bulky flap like the PMMC or the free ALT flap, the islanded nasolabial flap is of great use to the surgeon for tongue reconstruction and should be part of the reconstructive armamentarium of every oral cancer surgeon.

Aims and Objectives:
To assess the difference in post-operative speech results between patients having flap reconstruction versus patients having primary closure, and to assess the complications of islanded nasolabial flap reconstruction.

Materials and Methods:
Retrospective study of 6 months with 11 patients having islanded nasolabial flap reconstruction and 18 patients having primary reconstruction.

Results:
Post-operative speech results of patients with flap reconstruction were as good as those having primary closure.

Conclusions:
Islanded nasolabial flap may be a good option for reconstruction of carefully selected tongue defects.

Authors: Chandanwale Shirish Sahebrao , Rashmi Rakesh Kumar , Randive Ruchi Samir , Buch Archana Chirag 
Published: May 2024

Introduction:The imminent threat has emerged in the form of COVID-19-associated opportunistic infections in India. Mucormycosis has been increasingly described in patients with severe COVID-19 disease. We attempted to study the epidemiological factors, clinical presentation, and outcome in such patients which have not been well described.Materials and Methods:A total of 47 patients diagnosed with mucormycosis infection in tissue sections of patients with a history of COVID-19 disease were included in the study. A detailed clinical history including radiological and microbiological findings was retrieved from the case sheets. Histopathology slides were reviewed and correlated with clinical findings.Results:The males were commonly affected than females. The most common age group for females was slightly more than males. Out of 47 patients of mucormycosis, 37 (78.72%) have associated diseases. The 29 were known patients of diabetes mellitus, of which 16 patients had also associated hypertension. Thirty-nine patients received steroids during the hospital stay. Treatment with steroids and hyperglycemia were the most common risk factor for mucormycosis in post-COVID-19 disease.Discussion:Apart from severe COVID-19 disease, treatment with steroids, and hyperglycemia, other possible factors for mucormycosis include immune dysregulation and hyperferritinemia. Early diagnosis and treatment are the keys for the reduction of morbidity and mortality. Early diagnosis of mucormycosis requires expertise and interdisciplinary co-ordination. Craniofacial pain in patients with a history of severe COVID-19 disease, a diagnosis of mucormycosis must be suspected.Conclusion:Early diagnosis of mucormycosis.
