Published: April 2024

AimsTo investigate the association between socioeconomic position (SEP) and sensory impairments (SIs).MethodsWe used data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) (2015). Logistic regressions estimated the odds ratio for associations of SEP with SIs. In addition, Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was conducted to assess the causal relationship between them with the inverse variance weighting (IVW) estimator. MR-Egger, simple median, weighted median, maximum likelihood, and robust adjusted profile score were employed for sensitivity analyses.ResultsIn the observational survey, we enrolled 19,690 individuals aged 45 and above. SEP was negatively associated with SIs. Adjusted odds of vision impairment were higher for illiterate (1.50; 95%CI: 1.19, 1.91), less than elementary school diploma (1.76; 95%CI: 1.39, 2.25), middle school diploma (1.53; 95%CI: 1.21, 1.93) and lower income (all p &lt; 0.001). The odds of hearing impairment were significantly higher for people with less than a high school diploma than those with a college degree or higher diploma, for agricultural workers than non-agricultural workers, and for people in low-income families (p &lt; 0.01). The MR analysis also showed that occupation was associated with HI (1.04, 95%CI: 1.01, 1.09, p &lt; 0.05) using IVW.ConclusionWe found that both observational and causal evidence supports the theory that SEP can result in SIs and that timely discovery, targeted management, and education can prevent SIs among middle-aged and older adults.

Published: April 2024

BackgroundThe use of Non-Pharmaceutical Interventions (NPIs), such as lockdowns, social distancing and school closures, against the COVID-19 epidemic is debated, particularly for the possible negative effects on vulnerable populations, including children and adolescents. This study therefore aimed to quantify the impact of NPIs on the trend of pediatric hospitalizations during 2 years of pandemic compared to the previous 3 years, also considering two pandemic phases according to the type of adopted NPIs.MethodsThis is a multicenter, quasi-experimental before-after study conducted in 12 hospitals of the Emilia-Romagna Region, Northern Italy, with NPI implementation as the intervention event. The 3 years preceding the beginning of NPI implementation (in March 2020) constituted the pre-pandemic phase. The subsequent 2 years were further subdivided into a school closure phase (up to September 2020) and a subsequent mitigation measures phase with less stringent restrictions. School closure was chosen as delimitation as it particularly concerns young people. Interrupted Time Series (ITS) regression analysis was applied to calculate Hospitalization Rate Ratios (HRR) on the diagnostic categories exhibiting the greatest variation. ITS allows the estimation of changes attributable to an intervention, both in terms of immediate (level change) and sustained (slope change) effects, while accounting for pre-intervention secular trends.ResultsOverall, in the 60 months of the study there were 84,368 cases. Compared to the pre-pandemic years, statistically significant 35 and 19% decreases in hospitalizations were observed during school closure and in the following mitigation measures phase, respectively. The greatest reduction was recorded for “Respiratory Diseases,” whereas the “Mental Disorders” category exhibited a significant increase during mitigation measures. ITS analysis confirms a high reduction of level change during school closure for Respiratory Diseases (HRR 0.19, 95%CI 0.08–0.47) and a similar but smaller significant reduction when mitigation measures were enacted. Level change for Mental Disorders significantly decreased during school closure (HRR 0.50, 95%CI 0.30–0.82) but increased during mitigation measures by 28% (HRR 1.28, 95%CI 0.98–1.69).ConclusionOur findings provide information on the impact of COVID-19 NPIs which may inform public health policies in future health crises, plan effective control and preventative interventions and target resources where needed.

Published: April 2024

IntroductionIn competitive sports, teams are increasingly relying on advanced systems for improved performance and results. This study reviews the literature on the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in managing these complexities and encouraging a system thinking shift. It found various AI applications, including performance enhancement, healthcare, technical and tactical support, talent identification, game prediction, business growth, and AI testing innovations. The main goal of the study was to assess research supporting performance and healthcare.MethodsSystematic searches were conducted on databases such as Pubmed, Web of Sciences, and Scopus to find articles using AI to understand or improve sports team performance. Thirty-two studies were selected for review.ResultsThe analysis shows that, of the thirty-two articles reviewed, fifteen focused on performance and seventeen on healthcare. Football (Soccer) was the most researched sport, making up 67% of studies. The revised studies comprised 2,823 professional athletes, with a gender split of 65.36% male and 34.64% female. Identified AI and non-AI methods mainly included Tree-based techniques (36%), Ada/XGBoost (19%), Neural Networks (9%), K-Nearest Neighbours (9%), Classical Regression Techniques (9%), and Support Vector Machines (6%).ConclusionsThis study highlights the increasing use of AI in managing sports-related healthcare and performance complexities. These findings aim to assist researchers, practitioners, and policymakers in developing practical applications and exploring future complex systems dynamics.

Published: April 2024

Objectives: We explored characteristics of people with an accumulation of health problems related to old age requesting euthanasia or physician-assisted suicide (EAS) and identified characteristics associated with granting EAS requests.Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional questionnaire study among Dutch physicians on characteristics of these people requesting EAS (n = 123). Associations between characteristics and granting a request were assessed using logistic regression analyses.Results: People requesting EAS were predominantly &gt;80 years old (82.4%), female (70.0%), widow/widower (71.7%), (partially) care-dependent (76.7%), and had a life expectancy &gt;12 months (68.6%). The most prevalent health problems were osteoarthritis (70.4%) and impaired vision and hearing (53.0% and 40.9%). The most cited reasons to request EAS were physical deterioration (68.6%) and dependence (61.2%). 44.7% of requests were granted. Granting a request was positively associated with care dependence, disability/immobility, impaired vision, osteoporosis, loss of control, suffering without prospect of improvement and a treatment relationship with the physician &gt;12 months.Conclusion: Enhanced understanding of people with an accumulation of health problems related to old age requesting EAS can contribute to the ongoing debate on the permissibility of EAS in people without life-threatening conditions.

Published: April 2024

Background: Wheat-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis (WDEIA) is induced not by the intake of wheat-based food alone, but by the combination of exercise stress and such intake. Provocation tests have been reported to be useful for the diagnosis of this condition, but they are not always accurate. Furthermore, provocation tests are associated with the risk of anaphylactic shock, so safer testing is required.Subjects and methods: Thirty-three patients (mean age 35.5 ± 16.0 years) who underwent provocation tests from April 2019 to July 2023 were included in this study. We investigated associations of their provocation test results with their medical history, blood test results before the provocation tests, exercise load at the time of the test, and severity of the induced symptoms.Results: Symptoms were induced and the diagnosis of WDEIA was made in 28 cases, while 2 cases were confirmed not to have WDEIA. Overall, 25 of the 28 positive cases had symptoms induced by an exercise load greater than 70% of the heart rate calculated by the Karvonen formula, 7 of which required Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) loading to induce symptoms. None of the patients with negative wheat-specific IgE titers and positive gluten and/or ω-5 gliadin ones required NSAIDs loading. No patients required the administration of adrenaline.Conclusion: Wheat-specific IgE as well as gluten and ω-5 gliadin antibody titers are associated with WDEIA symptom severity. Exercise loading with a target heart rate of 70%–90% of that calculated by the Karvonen formula is safe and useful for diagnosis this condition.

Published: April 2024

Background: A high workload requires a lot of energy, so upgrading lactic acid raises fatigue. Complementary therapy was done to reduce fatigue and rate lactic acid. Objective: This study aims to analyze the potencial action combination bathe a sauna and aromatherapy of eucalyptus, to manage the fatigue reduction and improve lactic acid level among nurses with covid-19. Method: A quasi-experiment, pre-test and post-test with non-equivalent control group was applied in this study. Twenty-six nurses were selected using purposive sampling technique. The intervention group received a combination bath, a sauna, and aromatherapy eucalyptus for 15 minutes and restful sleep at night for 8 hours. Whereas group control only rested at night for 8 hours. Result: The results showed a significant different among intervention on fatigue (p=0. 000) and lactic acid (p=0. 000). The Cohen score of calculation of the results calculates the total sample and mean±sd in the intervention group. The control group used an effect size calculator for the t-test. Variable fatigue values were obtained, with the value of Cohen's d effect in the medium effect size category, namely 0. 32. Whereas, variable lactic acid got a score of Cohen's d effect 0. 74, which shows the impact which sizes strong. Conclusion: The conclusion confirmed that combination between sauna bathing and eucalyptus aromatherapy could effect the fatigue and acid-level lactate among nurses with covid-19. Recommendation: Nursing interventions of combining between sauna bathing and eucalyptus aromatherapy could be used as a complementary therapy that could be applied at health centers or other health services to overcome fatigue and decrease lactic acid levels in coronavirus disease (covid-19). Further research need to add the duration of intervention to test the effectiveness of intervention on reducing fatigue and levels of lactic acid

Kuntillet ‘Ajrud – punkt zwrotny w interpretacji historii Izraela i Judy?
Authors: Lemański Janusz 
Published: April 2024

Kuntillet ‘Ajrud dostarcza nam wiele intersujących danych na temat religii starożytnego Izraela oraz jego historii. W artykule akcent położony jest znaczenie tego stanowiska archeologicznego dla tej ostatniej. W świetle danych płynących z tekstów znalezionych w tym miejscu przedstawiona jest popularna dziś teza o potencjalnym politycznym uzależnieniu Judy od królestwa Izraela przez cały okres istnienia tego ostatniego. Autor nie uważa, aby te dane były wystarczające do jej udowodnienia, ale zgadza się z tym, że mogą one stanowić przyczynek do dalszej dyskusji nad tą hipotezą.
Rdzeń n)p w Biblii hebrajskiej w relacji do znh
Authors: Slawik Jakub 
Published: April 2024

W artykule poddano analizie wszystkie miejsca w Biblii Hebrajskiej, w których posłużono się rdzeniem @an, by ustalić jego ścisłe znaczenie, w szczególności relacji do rdzenia hnz. W sensie dosłownym ich znaczenia są bez wyjątku odrębne. @an odnosi się do łamania wierności małżeńskiej, cudzołóstwa, które nigdzie nie zostało opisane rdzeniem hnz. Choć oba rdzenie zostały użyte w sensie przenośnym obok siebie (także w ramach paralelizmów), to nic nie wskazuje na to, by ich domeny źródłowe się ze sobą pokrywały. W najstarszych miejscach, gdzie pojawiają się one koło siebie w znaczeniu metaforycznym, tj. w Oz, wyraźnie rozróżnia się ich domeny źródłowe. W literaturze przedmiotu zatem błędnie przyjmuje się, że hnz obejmuje swoim znaczeniem cudzołóstwo, mające być właściwą metafora religijnej czy kultowej niewierności ludu wobec JHWH.
Upadek an-Numana ibn al-Munzira (580–602 n.e.), ostatniego władcy al-Hiry
Authors: Wolińska Teresa 
Published: April 2024

Przez trzy stulecia państwo Lachmidów ze stolicą w al-Hirze, rządzone przez ród Nasrydów, było sojusznikiem imperium perskiego. Jego władcy wspomagali szachów w walkach z Bizancjum i jego arabskimi sojusznikami oraz chronili przed atakami koczowników. Chociaż sojusz był korzystny dla obu stron, na początku VII w. doszło do konfliktu pomiędzy szachem Chosroesem II Parwizem a królem al-Hiry, an-Numanem ibn al-Munzirem. Wśród jego powodów wymienia się przyjęcie chrztu przez an-Numana, spowodowanie przez niego śmierci poety Adiego ibn al-Zayda oraz odmowę wysłania kobiet arabskich, w tym córki króla, na dwór w Ktezyfonie. O ile te przyczyny mogą tłumaczyć usunięcie z tronu an-Numana, to nie wyjaśniają likwidacji jego państewka i wcielenia go do Persji. O tym zadecydowały względy strategiczne – zaniepokojenie Sasanidów rosnącą niezależnością Lachmidów, likwidacja arabskiego państwa Ghassanidów, sprzymierzonych z Bizancjum, ekspansjonistyczne plany Chosroesa.
Overcoming Tagraxofusp-Erzs Monotherapy Resistance in Blastic Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cell Neoplasm (BPDCN) in a Real-World Clinical Setting

Published: April 2024

ABSTRACT
Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) is a rare and clinically aggressive hematologic malignancy with limited treatment options. Currently, standard treatment strategies include clinical trials; chemotherapy regimens such as hyperfractionated cyclophosphamide, vincristine, doxorubicin, and dexamethasone (HCVAD); and tagraxofusp-erzs (TAG, previously SL-401) which is the first-in-class targeted therapy against CD123. TAG received Food and Drug Administration approval for frontline BPDCN treatment in December 2018 and has increasingly become an alternative to chemotherapy, offering potentially more effective and less toxic options. However, despite promising results, there are still patients who may be resistant to TAG monotherapy and/or who respond but eventually relapse. Herein, we discuss an important patient case of BPDCN treated with TAG and review BPDCN treatment strategies.

Published: April 2024

Зазначається, що на сучасному етапі розвитку молочного скотарства, діюча система годівлі корів не в повній мірі відповідає вимогам інтенсивного виробництва молока та потребує суттєвого удосконалення з урахуванням сучасних підходів щодо організації нормованої годівлі та використання кормів.
У відповідності до попередньо проведених досліджень встановлено, що раціон годівлі дійних корів з добовим надоєм молока – 10 кг при стандартному вмісті жиру і білка, до складу якого включено максимальну кількість об’ємистих кормів та необхідну норму мінеральних добавок кальцію, фосфору, магнію та натрію, є базовим при використанні вітчизняних норм годівлі повновікових корів живою масою 500-700 кг.
Метою дослідження було розроблення програми годівлі корів за періодами виробничого циклу.
Зважаючи на фізіологічний стан тварин та здатність їх до найбільш ефективного використання кормів, годівля корів протягом виробничого циклу поділяється на такі періоди: годівля новотільних корів, годівля корів у перший період лактації, годівля корів у другий період лактації, годівля корів у третій період лактації, годівля сухостійних корів, яку розділяють на дві фази: 60-11 днів, 10-1 днів.
У відповідності до програми годівлі корів за періодами виробничого циклу запропонована система згодовування концентрованих кормів, при якій все поголів’я дійних корів вранці і вечері після доїння і максимального споживання об’ємистих кормів одержує по 2 кг комбікорму-концентрату.
Дійним коровам з добовим надій молока 22 кг додатково, у проміжках між ранковою і вечірньою годівлею, згодовують 2 кг комбікорму-концентрату, з добовим надоєм 26 кг – 4 кг комбікорму-концентрату. Найбільш високопродуктивні дійні корови з добовим надоєм молока 30 кг і більше додатково одержують 6 кг комбікорму-концентрату.

Authors: Piven O. 
Published: April 2024

The article presents the results of the research of lamb carcasses during 2020-2022 during the post-slaughter veterinary and sanitary examination for backyard slaughter of animals in private homesteads. It was revealed sheep’s damage by strongylatosis, moniesiosis, echinococcosis, fasciolosis, dicroceliosis. It has been established that polyinvasions (strongylatosis-moniosis and moniosis-echinococcosis) occur most often among sheep.
It has been proven that carrying out a veterinary and sanitary examination is a necessary element even for backyard slaughter, because it allows to obtain high-quality raw materials and plan preventive anti-epizootic measures in the future.
PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECTS AND USES OF SOME PHYTOBIOTIC COMPOUNDS - A REVIEW
Authors: Aktaran Bala D. 
Published: April 2024

Phytobiotics have been used to supplement ingredients in poultry feeds for the last few years. A great deal of research has been conducted on this topic. Researchers highlight the multifaceted benefits of phytobiotics, underscoring their antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties, in addition to their capacity to stimulate growth. Most of the phytobiotics currently in use are seamlessly incorporated into animal diets, with no reported palatability issues. In fact, there have been instances of enhanced feed intake when these additives are included.
The objective of this review is to comprehensively examine the utilization of phytogenic feed additives in poultry diets, alongside a detailed exploration of the latest insights into their potential mechanisms of action.
