Гестационный сахарный диабет (ГСД) – это заболевание, от которого страдает все большее число беременных женщин во всем мире. Опасность гипергликемии во время беременности заключается не только в многочисленных перинатальных осложнениях, но и в долгосрочных последствиях, влияющих на здоровье матери и развитие плода. Потребность в фармакологическом лечении возникает у 15–30% пациентов с ГСД, а 70–85% пациентов с ГСД можно вести с помощью модификации диеты, изменения образа жизни, физической активности и мониторинга уровня глюкозы в крови. Согласно многочисленным клиническим исследованиям, применяемая в настоящее время фармакотерапия ГСД является достаточно безопасной. В Республике Беларусь в качестве медикаментозной терапии ГСД рекомендован к использованию только инсулин. В некоторых странах помимо инсулинотерапии для лечения ГСД могут применяться метформин или отдельные препараты группы сульфонилмочевины. В статье представлен обзор рекомендаций и клинических исследований гипогликемических препаратов у беременных женщин.
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a condition that affects increasing number of pregnant women worldwide. The danger of hyperglycemia during pregnancy lies both in numerous perinatal complications and has long-term consequences affecting the health of the mother and the development of the fetus. 15–30% of patients with GSD need pharmacological treatment, and 70–85% of patients with GSD can be managed using diet modification, lifestyle changes, physical activity and blood glucose monitoring. The GDM pharmacotherapy used so far is acceptably safe according to numerous clinical studies. Only insulin is recommended for use as a drug therapy for GSD in the Republic of Belarus. Metformin or some sulfonylurea drugs can be used for the treatment of GSD in addition to insulin therapy in some countries. The article provides an overview of some recommendations and clinical studies of hypoglycemic drugs in pregnant women.

Published: April 2024

La atención médica de urgencia relacionada con la glándula paratiroidea abarca una amplia gama de enfermedades, cuyo denominador común son los trastornos del metabolismo del calcio. La glándula paratiroides desempeña un papel fundamental en la regulación de los niveles de calcio en el cuerpo y cualquier disfunción de esta pequeña glándula puede tener un impacto significativo en la homeostasis del calcio y, por lo tanto, en la salud ósea. Una de las afecciones más comunes asociadas con la glándula paratiroidea es el hipoparatiroidismo. Esta enfermedad se caracteriza por una disminución de la producción de hormona paratiroidea, lo que conduce a niveles anormalmente bajos de calcio en la sangre. El hipoparatiroidismo puede tener presentaciones clínicas variadas y complejas, con síntomas que van desde convulsiones hasta problemas dermatológicos como la psoriasis, pasando por complicaciones cardíacas y neuromusculares como arritmias, laringoespasmos, cataratas, papiledema, tetania y miopatías, entre otras. El conocimiento de estos trastornos es necesario para brindar una atención médica eficaz y mejorar la calidad de vida de los pacientes enfermos. Por tanto, es necesario aclarar que las emergencias paratiroideas representan una amplia gama de trastornos que afectan la homeostasis del calcio y la salud ósea, de los cuales el hipoparatiroidismo es un excelente ejemplo. El tratamiento de estos trastornos varía según la causa y la gravedad, y su conocimiento es esencial para los médicos de diversas especialidades y entornos clínicos, ya que su impacto se extiende a áreas críticas de la atención sanitaria
Secure bike start
Authors: Mathe Rama Krishna , Kollikondla Praneeth Kumar 
Published: April 2024

This project is titled “Secure Bike Start” with Arduino. This project used to propose a system that describes the concept of controlling vehicle theft by using the method of fingerprint-based authentication and which alerts the user by providing the notification to the user. This proposes a system that identifies the authenticated person for the vehicle and starts up the vehicle when the person is approved by the FingerPrint Module. If any unauthorized access to the vehicle is to be applied then the system is fully locked and there is no way to move the vehicle from the place of parking. The capability to start-ups the vehicle is initiated by the Positive Charge from the Finger Print Module. Hence, the Ignition System control is based on authentication. The existing system provides security but there is no locking system. The proposed system describes the security of the vehicle as well as locking the whole Vehicle system by the way of an authentication basis.
Inhibition and working memory capacity modulate the mental space-time association
Authors: Carmona Isabel , Rodriguez-Rodriguez Jose , Alvarez Dolores , Noguera Carmen 
Published: April 2024

AbstractThis research aimed to investigate whether the mental space-time association of temporal concepts could be modulated by the availability of cognitive resources (in terms of working memory and inhibitory control capacities) and to explore whether access to this association could be an automatic process. To achieve this, two experiments were carried out. In Experiment 1, participants had to classify words with future and past meanings. The working memory load (high vs. low) was manipulated and the participants were grouped into quartiles according to their visuospatial working memory capacity (WMC). Temporal concepts were displayed subliminally (immediate masking) and supraliminally (delayed masking). The ANOVA showed a performance pattern consistent with the left-past right-future conceptual scheme, regardless of both the type of masking and the working memory load, except in high WMC participants, in which, interestingly, the space-time association effect was absent. In Experiment 2, participants were asked to respond to the colour of the font of the temporal words, and their attentional control capacity was assessed. The results indicated a timeline effect that was irrespective of the WM load and the type of perceptual processing, but not of the WM capacity or the inhibitory abilities. These findings partially endorse the automatic and implicit access to the mental space-time association and suggest the involvement of the availability of cognitive resources. Individual WMC differences appear to modulate the automatic nature of the effect rather than the processing conditions themselves.

Accorde-t-on assez d’importance à l’expérience gestionnaire ?
Authors: Bertholet Jean-François , Rousseau Alexandre 
Published: April 2024

« Les leaders héroïques sont littéralement capables de galvaniser les troupes » : voilà un mythe tenace qui occulte parfois le fait que les gestionnaires sont avant tout des êtres humains ayant eux aussi des besoins et des préoccupations qui leur sont propres, et qui influent sur leur bien-être comme sur leur performance.

Les collections vestimentaires du musée de Bretagne
Authors: Prod’homme Laurence 
Published: April 2024

Les collections textiles du musée de Bretagne (Rennes, Ille-et-Vilaine) sont conséquentes en nombre et ont vocation à représenter l’ensemble des modes portées dans la région, qu’il s’agisse du costume régional ou du vêtement de travail. Elles rassemblent essentiellement des vêtements, mais aussi du linge de maison, des bannières et drapeaux, des échantillons textiles… Leur constitution est révélatrice de l’évolution du musée lui-même, qui au fil du temps a laissé aux collections vestimentaires une place plus conséquente. Les premières décennies du xxe siècle voient arriver des collections d’uniformes et tenues militaires, accompagnées de quelques embryons de pièces vestimentaires régionales. En 1913, une exposition d’ethnographie permet la première présentation de costumes bretons et entraîne une légère dynamique dans ce domaine. Il faut attendre les années 1950-1960 avec l’ouverture de la « galerie des costumes », pour que ces collections, sous le contrôle de René-Yves Creston et Georges Henri Rivière, prennent davantage d’ampleur. Des années 1980 à aujourd’hui, les enrichissements n’ont pas cessé, mais la politique d’acquisition a dès lors tenté d’appréhender le vêtement comme un objet culturel et social au même titre que toutes les collections matérielles. Les collections photographiques du musée, par leur ampleur et leur diversité, servent aussi de pendants et de sources aux collections vestimentaires et permettent de réinterroger la question du vêtement dans la société bretonne.
Un japonisme patrimonial
Authors: Delille Damien 
Published: April 2024

L’origine des patrimoines de mode venus du Japon répond à une histoire complexe, associée à la vogue du japonisme en France, durant la seconde moitié du xixe siècle. Cet article analyse les différentes étapes historiques d’intégration dans les collections privées et publiques de ces objets textiles et vestimentaires japonais, à partir des acteurs – marchands, collectionneurs, artistes, scientifiques – qui s’y sont intéressés. La notion de patrimoine vestimentaire et textile au Japon est interrogée dans le contexte d’occidentalisation de l’archipel durant l’ère Meiji entre 1868 et 1912. L’étude du rôle moteur des Expositions universelles, en particulier celle de Vienne en 1873, contribue ensuite à identifier la constitution des premières collections de fukusa, kimonos et autres éléments de l’habit nippon, dont les créations sont antérieures à l’ouverture du pays à l’Occident. À l’orée du xxe siècle, le musée des Arts décoratifs de Paris et le musée des Tissus de Lyon se portent acquéreurs de plusieurs de ces collections, afin de rendre accessibles des pratiques singulières auprès des publics d’amateurs et des industries textiles. L’article explore ce long processus qui permet de faire entrer ces objets vestimentaires non-occidentaux dans l’histoire patrimoniale en France et au Japon.

Cada vez mais, detecta-se a importância de comunicação e compartilhamento adequado das informações entre os diferentes agentes que constroem conteúdos de aprendizagem. Caso contrário, o conhecimento pode chegar de forma fragilizada e/ou segmentada aos discentes, por meio dos diferentes canais, como aulas, material didático, ambiente virtual de aprendizagem, dentre outros. Este estudo tem o objetivo geral de analisar o processo de comunicação intra e entre setores de cursos de graduação na modalidade de Educação a Distância (EaD) de uma Instituição de Ensino Superior (IES) privada no estado do Paraná. A pesquisa é de natureza aplicada com abordagem quantitativa e, para atender aos objetivos propostos, foi aplicado um questionário on-line junto aos colaboradores dos diferentes setores da IES do estudo de caso, com uma posterior análise estatística dos dados coletados e com apoio da ferramenta Google Forms. O resultado da análise é um panorama sobre os processos de comunicação e compartilhamento do conhecimento dessa IES, identificando que os profissionais da tutoria off-line e os outros profissionais (coordenador, tutor pedagógico, tutor on-line e professor formador) devem procurar estar em sinergia durante o fechamento de cada uma das disciplinas, bem como com a efetividade das atividades disponibilizadas para os discentes, a fim de que se possa promover o refinamento contínuo desses materiais.
Exploring the effects of the past civil war in terms of the prevalence and associating factors of PTSD
Authors: Monaragala R. M. M. 
Published: April 2024

The Sri Lanka Army experienced a civil war, which ended in 2009. PTSD is a chronic psychological complication following trauma associated with war, and this study intends to explore the extent of PTSD ten years after the civil war in the Army.Aims:This study aimed at describing the prevalence of PTSD and its associated factors among armed personnel with combat experience.Methods: This was a cross-sectional study, conducted in 2019, in the East of Sri Lanka with a total sample of 3365. The other ranks were selected from 71 clusters by multi-stage cluster sampling method whilst the officers were selected by systematic random sampling method from the Officers’ Seniority List. The locally validated PTSD checklist military version (PCL-M) questionnaire was used to screen PTSD. A standard questionnaire was used to obtain data on sociodemographics, aggression, smoking, and cannabis usage, whereas locally validated tools (PHQ-9, Chalder fatigue scale, and AUDIT) were used to gather information on psycho-logical and behavioral factors. Data were analyzed with SPSS-20, and the significance of factors associated with PTSD (p≤0.05) was determined by the Chi-Square test. Multiple logistic regression was used to exclude confounders. The study was conducted after the ethical clearance from the Ethical Review Committee of the Faculty of Medicine, KDU.Results: Of the sample, 1845 (75 officers and 1772 other ranks) had combat exposure and were chosen for this study. The prevalence of PTSD was 3.9%. Battle events and consequences, probable depression, fatigue, high-risk drinking (HRD), childhood abuse, expression of aggression, psychiatric family history, inward admission, absenteeism, and psychosocial dysfunction were significantly associated with PTSD. After adjusting the odds ratios, probable depression, fatigue, aggression, and family history of mental disorder, were predictive of PTSD.Conclusions: Even after ten years, the psychological effect of the civil war persists. Early exposure to childhood abuse, psychiatric family history, and younger age at combat exposure could be risk factors for PTSD, and HRD, depression, fatigue, psychosocial dys-function, absenteeism, aggression, and tendency to seek medical treatment can be outcomes of PTSD. Screening and psychosocial intervention are recommended in the field.

Abstract
Mauritian-origin cynomolgus macaques (MCMs) serve as a powerful nonhuman primate model in biomedical research due to their unique genetic homogeneity, which simplifies experimental designs. Despite their extensive use, a comprehensive understanding of crucial immune-regulating gene families, particularly killer Ig-like receptors (KIR) and NK group 2 (NKG2), has been hindered by the lack of detailed genomic reference assemblies. In this study, we employ advanced long-read sequencing techniques to completely assemble eight KIR and seven NKG2 genomic haplotypes, providing an extensive insight into the structural and allelic diversity of these immunoregulatory gene clusters. Leveraging these genomic resources, we prototype a strategy for genotyping KIR and NKG2 using short-read, whole-exome capture data, illustrating the potential for cost-effective multilocus genotyping at colony scale. These results mark a significant enhancement for biomedical research in MCMs and underscore the feasibility of broad-scale genetic investigations.

Published: April 2024

AbstractInfertility, affecting one in six couples, is often related to the male partner’s congenital and/or environmental conditions or complications postsurgery. This retrospective study examines the link between orchiopexy for undescended testicles (UDT) and testicular torsion (TT) in childhood and adult fertility as assessed through sperm analysis. The study involved the analysis of semen samples from 7743 patients collected at Soroka University Medical Center (Beer Sheva, Israel) between January 2009 and December 2017. Patients were classified into two groups based on sperm concentration: those with concentrations below 5 × 106sperm per ml (AS group) and those above (MN group). Medical records and surgical histories were reviewed, categorizing orchiopexies by surgical approach. Among 140 individuals who had undergone pediatric surgery, 83 (59.3%) were placed in the MN group and 57 (40.7%) in the AS group. A higher likelihood of being in the MN group was observed in Jewish compared to Arab patients (75.9% vs 24.1%,P= 0.006). In cases of childhood UDT, 45 (78.9%) patients exhibited sperm concentrations below 5 × 106sperm per ml (P< 0.001), and 66 (76.7%) had undergone unilateral and 18 (20.9%) bilateral orchiopexy. Bilateral orchiopexy was significantly associated with lower sperm concentration, total motility, and progressive motility than unilateral cases (P= 0.014,P= 0.001, andP= 0.031, respectively). Multivariate analysis identified UDT as a weak risk factor for low sperm concentration (odds ratio [OR]: 2.712,P= 0.078), with bilateral UDT further increasing this risk (OR: 6.314,P= 0.012). Jewish ethnicity and TT diagnosis were associated with a reduced risk of sperm concentrations below 5 × 106sperm per ml. The findings indicate that initial diagnosis, surgical approach, and ethnicity markedly influence male fertility outcomes following pediatric orchiopexy.
