A 20-year Study of Fatal Pressure on the Neck in Autopsied Cases at the Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Medical Center
Authors: Razak Nadiawati Abdul , Nor Faridah Mohd , Shafie Mohamed Swarhib , Haque Mainul 
Published: May 2024

Background:
Fatal neck pressure may arise from hanging, ligature strangulation and manual strangulation. The analysis aimed to evaluate the demographic profiles of deadly neck pressure concerning ligature material, its position on the neck and the pattern of neck injuries with the manner of death in autopsied cases at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Medical Center (UKMMC).

Materials and Methods:
A 20-year retrospective analysis was conducted at UKMMC, where 287 cases were sampled; out of which 267 cases were suicidal hanging, and four were accidental hanging. Only 11 cases of ligature strangulation and five cases were due to manual strangulation. The details were obtained from the autopsy report and IBM SPSS Statistics 28 analysis.

Results:
This study showed that 210 (73.2%) males and 77 (26. 8%) females with a ratio of 2.7:1 had died of fatal neck pressure. Male dominance (74.5%) was displayed in suicidal hanging, and there was no sex difference in ligature and/or manual strangulation. Ligature and manual strangulation were common in the younger age group. Accidental strangulation in young adults was most probably due to auto-erotic asphyxia. In this study, the youngest was 1 year, while the oldest was 85 years. The most common ligature used in suicidal hanging and homicidal ligature strangulation was hard material. The most typical pattern of the neck finding was facial congestion (71.1%), followed by petechial haemorrhages, neck muscle contusion, hyoid bone fracture, thyroid cartilage fracture and carotid injury (1.7%).

Conclusion:
Forensic pathologists’ experience and autopsy techniques are fundamental in explaining the injury pattern and its correlation with fatality.

Authors: Naim Anjum , Jha Ashish , Singh Amresh Kumar , Tiwari Bhuwan Chandra , Vijay Sudarshan K. , Jamwal Naveen 
Published: May 2024

Context:
Elevated uric acid (UA) is seen in several vascular diseases. Its significance as a prognostic marker in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is unknown.

Aims:
The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between elevated UA and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) at 1 year in patients undergoing PCI.

Settings and Design:
This was a prospective, observational, single-center study.

Subjects and Methods:
Patients undergoing PCI were categorized into hyperuricemic (HU, UA >6.0 mg/dl in women and >7.0 mg/dl in men) and normouricemic (NU) groups and were observed for 1 year. The endpoint was difference in MACE (composite of deaths, nonfatal myocardial infarction, stroke, and target vessel revascularization) at 1 year between the two groups. The secondary endpoints were the difference in Killip class at presentation, angiographic severity of coronary artery disease (CAD), cardiac arrhythmias, and congestive heart failure (CHF) between the two groups.

Results:
A total of 215 patients (107 in HU arm and 108 in NU arm) were recruited. Patients in the HU arm were older, had higher frequency of multivessel CAD (93.5% vs. 79.6%, P < 0.05) and complex coronary lesions (98.1% vs. 91.7%, P < 0.05). MACE at 1 year were more frequent in the HU arm compared to the NU arm (21.5% vs. 6.5%, P < 0.05). New-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) (11.2% vs. 3.7%, P < 0.05) and CHF (13.1% vs. 4.6%, P < 0.05) were also more frequent in the HU arm versus the NU arm.

Conclusions:
Elevated serum UA level in patients undergoing PCI was associated with angiographically more severe and multivessel CAD, a higher frequency of MACE, CHF, new-onset AF, and a higher mortality than those having normal UA levels.
Reversible hypertension and infective arteritis
Authors: Diwaker Amita , Kishore Dhiraj , Singh Santosh Kumar , Singh Samer 
Published: May 2024

Background:
Idiopathic vasculitides or arteritis have very few or none treatment options. Identification of infective arteritis based on high clinical suspicion opens a window for treatment of such cases . Although these are occasional clinical scenario.

Aims and Objectives:
To identify the treatable cause of arteritis and starting initial treatment based on clinical suspicion.
Material and Methods: Based on high clinical suspicion we aim to identify chronic infective cause of arteritis among patients of SS Hospital from 2019 to 2020 coming in EOPD.
Results and Discussion: Three cases of reversible hypertension from different clinical setup relating to a common infective etiology, i.e., tuberculosis identified during the said duration, all cases presented with constitutional symptoms for 2–6 months with headache, loss of appetite, fever, and malaise. The first case presented as acute abdomen in EOPD having mesenteric ischemia and hypertension. The second case presented in antenatal care OPD with hypertension which was nonrelated to pregnancy. The third case presented in medicine OPD as a case of young hypertensive without mood changes. Partial renal artery stenosis relating to infective arteritis was a common finding in all cases. All cases responded well with the firstline antitubercular medication and became normotensive (without medication) in the follow up.
Conclusion: The cause of renal artery stenosis appeared to be related to tubercular arteritis of vessel with either a past history of pulmonary TB or TB contact. Renovascular tubercular arteritis has been defined in only a few literatures and only handful of cases being reported making worth presentation.
Analytical study of angiographic profile of acute coronary syndrome and its risk factors among young individuals (≤45 years)
Authors: Ashida Thulaseedharan Sarojadevi , Thenmozhi Senthilvelan , Girija Subramanian , Balachander Jayaraman 
Published: May 2024

Background:
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in young (≤45 years) patients has devastating social and economic consequences. We present the clinical presentation, coronary angiogram (CAG) findings with particular reference to angiographic severity, treatment, and short-term follow-up.

Methods:
This was an ambidirectional cohort study (n = 224) conducted in the department of cardiology of a tertiary care teaching hospital in South India, catering mainly to a predominantly rural population. Patients were identified from “The CATH-lab Registry” and the data were analyzed.

Results:
The mean (±standard deviation) age was 39.02 ± 5.6 years, with a male predominance (79.9%). Dyslipidemia (57.6%), smoking (25.9%), and diabetes mellitus (29.9%) emerged as major risk factors. Almost equal proportion of patients presented with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI; 53.12%) and non-ST elevation ACS (46.88%); 30.8% of patients had left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. CAG showed involvement of left anterior descending artery in the majority (66.38%) of patients with single-vessel disease in the STEMI group. Left main coronary artery involvement was seen in 8.9% of patients. Majority (89.7%) of young ACS patients had low syntax score. Risk factors were similar among patients with obstructive and nonobstructive CAD. Almost half (47.7%) of the patients needed revascularization, with 16.9% undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Only two patients had recurrent ACS, at a mean follow-up of 12 months.

Conclusions:
The most important risk factors for young ACS were dyslipidemia, smoking, and diabetes mellitus. LV function was preserved in majority of young ACS patients and short-term prognosis (1 year) was favorable.
Role of palliative percutaneous coronary intervention in severely symptomatic complex coronary artery disease patients who could not undergo coronary artery bypass surgery
Authors: TIWARI MUKESH , JHA ASHISH , TIWARI BHUWAN CHANDRA , VIJAY SUDARSHAN K , JAMWAL NAVEEN , SINGH AMRESH KUMAR 
Published: May 2024

Context:
Patients with symptomatic complex coronary artery disease (CAD) who could not undergo bypass surgery for any reason often continue to have symptoms and impaired quality of life (QoL) on optimal medical therapy (OMT)

Aims:
This study aimed to evaluate the role of palliative percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in these patients as compared to OMT alone.

Settings and Design:
This was a prospective, questionnaire-based, case–control, single-center study.

Subjects and Methods:
Patients in the case arm underwent palliative PCI of at least 1 target vessel and the control arm remained on OMT. The primary endpoint was a comparison of Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ)-angina frequency (AF) and QoL scores at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months. Secondary outcomes were the difference in frequency of cardiovascular death, stroke, nonfatal myocardial infarction, and major bleeding episodes between 2 arms during the same period.

Results:
The study recruited 200 patients (100 in each arm). Baseline characteristics were well matched. Presenting diagnosis was stable CAD in 11% and ACS in 89%. SAQ AF and QoL scores were similar in both arms at baseline, but a significant improvement in both parameters was seen at 3 and 6 months in palliative PCI arm. Predecided cutoffs for significant improvement in SAQ-AF and SAQ-QoL were achieved in palliative PCI arm. No significant difference was seen for secondary outcome measures between the two groups.

Conclusions:
Palliative PCI provided a significant benefit in terms of improvement in SAQ-AF and SAQ-QoL scores, over short term (6 months), as compared to OMT alone in patients with severely symptomatic complex CAD, who could not undergo CABG.
Leads towards non-invasive Ayurveda interventions in Stana vidradhi (~lactational breast abscess) management – An experience
Authors: Patil Divya Deepak , Sawant Dinar , Raut Disha 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
A lactational breast abscess is the most common complication met in breastfeeding women, which serves as the common cause of discontinuation of breastfeeding. The conventional treatment choice for breast abscess is incisive drainage that is reportedly associated with few limitations. Ayurveda offers a multidimensional approach in the treatment of Vidradhi, which resembles abscess on clinical correlation. A case of a 25 year old multiparous woman, eight months postpartum with Stana vidradhi (~lactational breast abscess) in Pachyamanavastha (~transforming stage of disease) presented to the outpatient department. She was treated with Apatarpana (~depleting therapy), internal Ayurveda medicines, and in-situ non-invasive procedures for seven days. This intervention protocol resulted in a marked resolution of complaints along with a completely healed wound without a scar on the follow-up visit after one week. The present case offers a promising alternative for lactational breast abscess with the use of multidimensional noninvasive therapy resulting in shorter healing time and satisfactory cosmetic outcome.
Network analysis for the study of intergovernmental cooperation: the case of the International Bureau of Education (1929-1958)
Authors: Brylinski Émeline 
Published: May 2024

This report of the thesis "Recommending utopia? A construction of an intergovernmental cooperation by the International Bureau of Education (IBE) in the middle of the 20th century" (Brylinski, 2022), focuses on the use of network analysis to study intergovernmental cooperation in education. The first part sets out the research questions and the data collected. The second describes how network analyses were applied to the Bulletins and to the Minutes published by the IBE. Then, the third part exposes the results obtained, to illustrate how these techniques are useful to study the staging of States, their interactions and cooperation strategies. Network analysis is thus a relevant method to analyze how governments contributed to the construction of the cause which lied at the heart of the cooperation project, namely peace education. This approach makes it possible to improve our understanding of the circulation and co-construction of knowledge within the framework of an intergovernmental organization and the production of international education recommendations.
Ce compte rendu de la thèse "Recommander l’utopie ? Construction d’une coopération intergouvernementale par le Bureau International d’Éducation (BIE) au milieu du 20e siècle" (Brylinski, 2022) porte sur l’intérêt de mobiliser les techniques d’analyse de réseaux pour étudier la coopération intergouvernementale en éducation. La première partie expose les questions de recherche et les données récoltées. La seconde décrit comment l’analyse de réseaux est appliquée aux Bulletins et aux Procès-verbaux publiés par le BIE. Puis, la troisième restitue les résultats obtenus pour illustrer comment ces techniques permettent d’étudier des mises en scène d’États, leurs interactions et stratégies de coopération pour faire-valoir ou marginaliser certains savoirs. Ainsi, l’analyse de réseaux est une méthode pertinente pour révéler comment se construit la cause qui réside au cœur du projet de coopération, à savoir l’éducation pacifique, lorsqu’elle est saisie par des gouvernements. Cette démarche permet d’améliorer notre compréhension de la circulation et la co-construction de savoirs dans le cadre d’une organisation intergouvernementale et de la production des recommandations internationales de l’éducation.
Epicurean and St. Apostle Paul’s teaching: similarities and differences
Authors: Демиденко С.С. 
Published: May 2024

Статья знакомит читателя с рядом текстологических параллелей в трудах святого апостола Павла и философов-эпикурейцев. Автор приводит свой анализ сходств и различий между этическим учением ап. Павла и эпикурейцев, опираясь на оригинальные тексты Посланий апостола и произведений античных мыслителей. Именно поэтому в данной работе приводятся краткие исторические сведения об эпикурейской традиции, после чего следует главная ее часть — анализ письменного наследия ап. Павла и эпикурейцев в свете их этического учения. Рассматриваемая тема весьма актуальна, поскольку не разработана в достаточной степени ни русскими учеными, ни зарубежными. Этим же обусловлена новизна, поскольку в различных исследовательских материалах, учебных пособиях и т. д. если и встречается сопоставление этического учения ап. Павла и представителей эпикурейской философии, то лишь в общих чертах, без анализа оригинальных текстов Посланий апостола и произведений эпикурейцев.
The article introduces its reader to a number of textual parallels in the works of St. Paul the Apostle and of Epicurean philosophers. In this article, the author provides his analysis of the similarities and differences between the ethical teaching of St. Paul and of the Epicureans, based on the original texts of the Epistles of the St. Apostle and on the works of ancient thinkers. That is why this work provides brief historical information about the Epicurean tradition, followed by its main part — the analysis of the written heritage of St. Paul and of the Epicureans in the light of their ethical teaching. The topic under consideration is currently very relevant, since it has not been sufficiently developed either by Russian or foreign scholars. This is the reason for the novelty of the topic, since in various research materials, textbooks, etc., a comparison of the ethical teachings of St. Paul and of the representatives of Epicurean philosophy is made only in general terms, without analyzing the original texts of St. Apostle’s Epistles and Epicurean works.
The Beginning of Greek University Theology in the Writings of Nicholas Damalas (1842–1892)
Authors: Поляков Э.А. 
Published: May 2024

В статье рассказывается о богословских сочинениях одного из первых преподавателей богословского факультета Афинского университета Николая Дамаласа (1842–1892). Рассматривается прежде всего его труд «О началах научных и церковных православного богословия», который стал среди университетских профессоров первой попыткой создания обзора православного догматического учения, преимущественно в контексте полемики с инославными. Используются также и другие его работы, посвященные различным богословским вопросам. Рассматривается его отношение к старокатоликам и англиканам, с которыми Православная Церковь в то время вела активные переговоры о возможности объединения. Данное отношение было резко полемическим и не признающим наличие благодати в инославных конфессиях. В то же время отмечается и определенное воздействие на его богословские взгляды протестантизма и рационализма, особенно во время его обучения в западных университетах. Приводятся и критические замечания, которые ряд его современники, прежде всего Х. Андруцос, делали в отношении его богословских взглядов. В целом, Н. Дамалас на определенном этапе сыграл свою роль в развитии в Афинском университете преподавания догматического и сравнительного богословия. Однако в дальнейшем его богословские сочинения были вытеснены более значительными пособиями по данным предметам и уже не переиздавались.
The article talks about the theological writings of one of the first teachers of the Faculty of Theology of University of Athens, Nicholas Damalas. First of all, his work “On the Principles of Scientific and Church Orthodox Theology” is considered, which became the first attempt among university professors to create a review of Orthodox dogmatic teaching, mainly in the context of polemics with heterodox. His other works on various theological issues are also used. His attitude towards the Old Catholics and Anglicans, with whom the Orthodox Church at that time was actively negotiating about the possibility of unification, is examined. This attitude was sharply polemical and did not recognize the presence of grace in heterodox confessions. At the same time, there is also a certain influence on his theological views of Protestantism and rationalism, especially during his studies at Western universities. Critical remarks that some of his contemporaries, primarily Ch. Androutsos, made regarding his theological views are also given. In general, N. Damalas at a certain stage played a role in the development of the teaching of dogmatic and comparative theology at the University of Athens. However, later his theological works were supplanted by more significant manuals on these subjects and were no longer republished.
Western European iconographic sources in the works of Semyon Spiridonov of Kholmogory
Authors: Турцова Н.М. 
Published: May 2024

Статья является продолжением исследования, начатого автором много лет назад. Выводы, сделанные в предыдущих работах, не утратили актуальности, более того, в последние годы нашли серьезные подтверждения и новые немаловажные факты. В статье уточняются и рассматриваются основные западноевропейские иконографические источники, находившиеся в поле зрения одного из самых одаренных изографов второй половины XVII в. Семена Спиридонова Холмогорца. Дается характеристика особенностям его работы с такими популярными в России XVI–XVII вв. увражами как различные издания лицевых Библий Николая Пискатора и Петера ван дер Борхта, иллюстрированных нидерландскими граверами XVI в. В произведениях северянина выявляются принципы, соответствующие общим правилам использования русскими художниками подобных образцов, а также особые, характерные для Семена Холмогорца. Рассматриваются наиболее вероятные пути ознакомления мастера с произведениями западноевропейского искусства, повлиявшими на его творчество.
This article is a continuation of the work that the author started back in the early 1980s, the conclusions of which have not lost their relevance. Moreover, in recent years, serious confirmations and new important facts have been found. The article clarifies and examines the main Western European iconographic sources that were in the field of view of one of the most gifted isographers of the second half of the XVII century, Semyon Spiridonov of Kholmogory. The characteristic of the peculiarities of his work with such popular in XVI–XVII centuries Russia pieces of art as various editions of the illuminated Bibles of Nicholas Piscator and Peter van der Borcht, illustrated by Dutch engravers of the XVI century, is given. In the works of the northerner, the principles corresponding to the general rules of the work of Russian artists with similar samples, and individual, peculiar only to Semyon of Kholmogory, are revealed. The most probable ways of the master’s acquaintance with the works of Western European art that influenced his work are also considered.
On the characteristics of the ancient Roman religion by G. Dumézil. Book review: Dumézil G.

Статья представляет собой отзыв на книгу выдающегося французского религиоведа, историка религии, лингвиста, мифолога и структуралиста Жоржа Дюмезиля «Религия Древнего Рима», впервые переведенную на русский язык в 2018 г. Рассмотрены сфера деятельности и основные интересы ученого, а также главная идея его научных поисков — выявление чистой трехчастной структуры, применимой к индоевропейским обществам и, следовательно, присутствующей в римской культуре. Показано, как Дюмезиль раскрывает различные проявления трехчастной структуры в главах книги, посвященных древнеримским богам, теологии и культу. Делается вывод, что автор глубоко проработал тему религии индоевропейцев и на протяжении всего труда показал множество параллелей в ней с религией Древнего Рима. Высказывается предположение, что Дюмезиль был близок к тому, чтобы выразить трехчастную модель и в христианстве, но не пришел к осознанию проявления этой модели в Троичности Бога не только в индоевропейских культурах.
The article is a review of the book “The religion of ancient Rome” by the outstanding French religious scholar, historian of religion, linguist, mythologist and structuralist Georges Dumézil, first translated into Russian in 2018. The authors consider the scope of activity and main interests of the scholar, as well as the main idea of his scientific search — the identification of a pure tripartite structure applicable to Indo-European societies and, therefore, present in Roman culture. It is shown how Dumézil reveals various manifestations of the tripartite structure in the chapters of the book devoted to ancient Roman gods, theology and cult. It is concluded that the author studied profoundly the topic of the Indo-European religion and demonstrated throughout his work many of its parallels with the religion of ancient Rome. It is suggested that Dumézil was close to expressing the tripartite model in Christianity, but did not come to realize the manifestation of this model in the Trinity of God beyond Indo-European cultures.
