В статье приводятся результаты изучения особенностей обмена белка в организме чистопородных баранчиков романовской породы (Iгруппа), её помесей первого поколения с эдильбаевской (½ романовская × ½ эдильбай – II группа) и второго поколения (¼ романовская × ¾ эдильбай – III группа). Установлен положительный баланс азота у баранчиков всех подопытных групп. В то же время, вследствие проявления эффекта скрещивания, помесный молодняк II и III групп превосходил чистопородных сверстников I группы по потреблению и перевариванию азота, отложению его в теле, величине коэффициента использования как от принятого, так и переваренного. Так, чистопородные баранчики Iгруппы уступали помесному молодняку II и III групп по потреблению азота с кормом, соответственно, на 3,25 г (10,61%) и 3,49 г (11,39), массе переваренного – на 2,29 г (12,04%) и 2,55 г (13,41%), отложению в теле – на 1,65 г (23,77%) и 1,79 г (25,79%). Помесный молодняк II и III групп превосходил чистопородных сверстников I групп по величине коэффициента использования азота от принятого с кормом на 2,70 и 2,93%, от переваренного – на 3,82 и 3,96% соответственно. Статистически недостоверное преимущество по выделению азота с калом было на стороне помесных баранчиков II группы, с мочой – помесного молодняка III группы. Лидирующее положение по потреблению и использованию азота корма занимали помесные баранчики III группы.
The article provides the results of studying the characteristics of protein metabolism in the body of purebred lambs of the Romanov breed (group I), its crossbreeds of the first generation with the Edilbaev (½ Romanov × ½ Edilbay – group II) and the second generation (¼ Romanov × ¾ Edilbay – group III). A positive balance of nitrogen was established in the lambs of all experimental groups. At the same time, due to the manifestation of the crossbreeding effect, the crossbreed young animals of groups II and III were superior to the purebred herdmates of group I in the consumption and digestion of nitrogen, its deposition in the body, and the value of the utilization coefficient from both accepted and digested. Thus, the purebred lambs of group I were inferior to the crossbred young animals of groups II and III in terms of nitrogen consumption with feed, respectively, by 3.25 g (10.61%) and 3.49 g (11.39), the mass of digested – by 2.29 g (12.04%) and 2.55 g (13.41%), deposition in the body – by 1.65 g (23.77%) and 1.79 g (25.79%). The crossbred young animals of groups II and III exceeded the purebred herdmates of groups I in terms of the nitrogen utilization coefficient from the accepted with feed by 2.70 and 2.93%, from the digested – by 3.82 and 3.96%, respectively. A statistically unreliable advantage in the release of nitrogen from feces was on the side of crossbreed lambs of group II, and with urine – crossbreed young animals of group III. The leading position in the consumption and use of nitrogen feed was occupied by crossbreed lambs of the III group.

Рассмотрены мероприятия по снижению вероятности возникновения повреждений на водопроводных сетях при определенных технологических условиях эксплуатации. Представлен опыт применения клапана, предупреждающего гидроудар, и редукционного клапана в едином исполнении. Установка клапана, предупреждающего гидроудар, на напорном коллекторе насосных станций является эффективной защитой от повреждений напорных водоводов при внезапной остановке насосных агрегатов, а также при резком неконтролируемом росте давления в них. Анализ работы многофункционального клапана предупреждения гидроудара с функцией поддержания заданного значения давления до себя и удаленным управлением подтвердил более плавное изменение давления на выходе с насосной станции первого подъема, а также меньшие отклонения фактического значения от заданного при изменении объема подачи технической воды. Показано, что данное оборудование эффективно при отсутствии станций частотного управления, а также при возникновении чрезвычайных ситуаций.
Measures for reducing the probability of damages in water distribution networks under certain technological operating conditions are considered. The experience of using a valve that prevents water surge in combination with a pressure relief valve is presented. Installing a valve that prevents water surge in the pressure manifold of pumping stations provides for the effective protection against damages of pressure water conduits in case of a sudden stop of pumps, as well as in case of a sharp uncontrolled pressure increase in them. Analyzing the operation of a multifunctional water surge protection valve with the remote control and function of maintaining the set pressure upstream proved a smoother pressure change at the outlet of the booster pumping station, as well as smaller deviations of the actual value from the set value as the volume of process water supplied changes. It is shown that the equipment is effective in the absence of variable speed control units, as well as in emergency situations.

Published: April 2024

ABSTRACT
Obesity is a condition caused by excess fat buildup, often measured using the body mass index (BMI) and categorized into underweight, normal weight, and obesity. Obesity is a global epidemic with an alarmingly rising incidence. Obesity is closely associated with insulin resistance, metabolic disorders, hypertension, and atherosclerosis, as well as endothelial dysfunction, which leads to numerous diseases. Noncommunicable diseases are significantly associated with high BMI and can have a negative impact on physical and psychological conditions. Endothelium, the internal lining of blood vessels, controls vascular tone, inflammation, and clotting processes. Endothelial dysfunction is a clinical complication characterized by the loss of normal endothelial cell homeostatic mechanisms. Reduced bioavailability of nitric oxide can be moderately related to endothelial dysfunction, which promotes vascular abruptions such as thrombosis, inflammation, plaque rupture, and other related conditions. The rise in obesity incidence and its global status highlights the urgent need to address responsible factors such as sedentary lifestyles, bad food habits, and globalization. Factors such as dietary modifications, low-cost food and beverages, and liberalization of international trade contribute to obesity, whereas factors such as genetics, poor diet, and lack of physical activity can also contribute to obesity.

BACKGROUND:Bedside teaching (BST) is a crucial component of medical education. It entails the interaction of students with patients in outpatient clinics and inpatient wards under the supervision of their tutors in order to improve the clinical skills of the students and, ultimately, patient outcomes. This teaching relies heavily on patients’ willingness and cooperation. The aim of this study was to assess the perception of Obstetrics and Gynecology (OB/GYN) patients regarding the presence and participation of medical students in BST.MATERIALS AND METHODS:A cross-sectional survey was conducted among OB/GYN patients at the outpatient clinics and inpatient wards at King Fahd Hospital of the University (KFHU) in Al-Khobar from January 1 to April 30, 2023. Data were collected online through the Google Drive survey tool using a validated and pilot tested questionnaire. Data were analyzed utilizing SPSS version 26.0. Chi-squared test was employed to test for association between two categorical variables. Multiple logistic regression model was used to determine variables associated with positive attitudes.RESULTS:A total of 507 patients completed online questionnaire. A highly positive patients’ attitude was observed toward the presence and participation of medical students during BST with a mean score of 81.8 ± 10.4. The acceptance rates were higher for female students compared to male students (91.9% vs 61.7%) and for senior doctors compared to junior doctors (89.9% vs 58.9%). Patients who came to the outpatient clinics were also more likely to accept students’ presence than those who went to hospital wards. Age, marital status, and previous clinic visits were positively associated with the acceptance level of the presence and involvement of medical students in BST without a significant difference.CONCLUSION:In general, patients had a good perception of medical students’ engagement in their care and that the gender of the medical students/doctors and clinical setting could affect this perception. Raising patients’ awareness of their valuable role in male medical students’ and doctors’ education should be raised, as this will increase their acceptance during BST.

Published: April 2024

BACKGROUND:
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is one of the most prevalent functional gastrointestinal disorders. Medical students tend to report a higher prevalence of IBS since they are under constant stress. Many psychological difficulties are associated with IBS. To cope with IBS, individuals use various strategies which can impact the intensification or alleviation of IBS symptoms. The objective of this study was to assess the prevalence of IBS in medical students as well as psychological alarms and coping strategie employed by IBS sufferers.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
We conducted a cross-sectional study from December 2022 to February 2023. Study participants were first to fifth year medical school students at Zagazig University, Egypt. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire comprising four sections: sociodemographic and clinical data; Rome IV criteria for the diagnosis of IBS; the alarm questionnaire for functional gastrointestinal disorders; and the Coping Strategies Questionnaire (CSQ24). Chi-square test or Fischer’s exact test, as appropriate, were used to test for association. Binary logistic regression with a backward stepwise method was used to determine significant risk factors of negative coping with IBS.

RESULTS:
Of the studied 221 medical students, 38% had IBS. A statistically significant association was observed between IBS and the feeling of tension, anxiety, nervousness, depression, and frustration in the previous week, severe pain in the past 4 weeks, and the feeling that the bad situation would not get any better. Most of the students in the IBS group coped positively with stress, while 19.0% were negative in coping. Pain affecting the daily activities and the feelings of depression and frustration to the point of self-harm or suicide were the most significant correlates of IBS group’s inability to cope.

CONCLUSION:
The prevalence of IBS in medical students at Zagazig University was 38%. We recommend psychological intervention and stress management programs to help medical students cope with IBS.

Published: April 2024

BACKGROUND:
Literature on the frequency, response to treatment, and outcomes of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) due to intracranial atherostenosis (ICAS)-related intracranial large artery occlusion (ILAO) from Saudi Arabia is scarce. The aim of this study was to identify the percentage, describe the characteristics, and observe the treatment response in patients with AIS attributed to ICAS-related ILAO.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
This cross-sectional study included all adult patients from 2017-2021 who fulfilled the inclusion criteria for the diagnosis of ICAS-related AIS. Patients were dichotomized based on ILAO. Mortality and functional outcomes (FOCs) based on 90 days’ dependence level were compared between the two groups. The association between ILAO and other variables was assessed using the Chi-squared test, odds ratios (OR), and 95% confidence interval (CI).

RESULTS:
ILAO was found in 38.7% of patients with ICAS-related AIS. Men comprised three-fourths of the cohort and were more frequent in the ILAO group. Smoking was associated with increased (P = 0.04) likelihood of ILAO. Patients with ILAO had more severe strokes (P ≤ 0.001) than patients without. Middle cerebral artery was the most common occluded vessel (52%). Functional dependence (P = 0.003, OR = 2.87, CI = 1.42–5.77), malignant transformation (P = 0.001, OR = 8.0, CI = 1.82–35.9), and mortality (P ≤ 0.001, OR = 7.67, CI = 2.40–24.5) were significantly higher among ILAO group. Patients with ILAO with unfavorable FOC were older than those who achieved better FOC (P ≤ 0.001). Thrombolysis (P = 0.02, OR = 2.50, CI = 1.15–5.41) and mechanical thrombectomy (MT) improved FOC in patients with ILAO (P = 0.04, OR = 2.33, CI = 1.10–4.92).

CONCLUSION:
ILAO is common in patients with ICAS-related AIS. Timely hyperacute stroke treatment can help improve the FOC of otherwise disabling stroke due to ILAO. Raising awareness of the community about stroke is needed, so that a higher number of patients can arrive at hospital within the golden hours. Further data from the region are required to recognize the efficacy of MT in ICAS-related ILAO.

Authors: Jajoo Sakshi , Shweta Chaudhary , Rucha Davalbhakta , Sanket Kunte , Chetana Jagtap , Smita Patil 
Published: April 2024

Background:
The term “stereognosis” comes from neurology and describes the capacity to distinguish objects solely by touch.

Aim:
The aim of this research study was to compare the neuromotor ability of the tongue in patients with malocclusion and tongue dysfunction with and without superficial anesthesia on the tip of the tongue and hard palate.

Materials and Methods:
The study included 132 patients aged 6–13 years. Using a spatula for speech therapy and a visual evaluation while swallowing saliva, all individuals were identified as having swallowing dysfunctions and divided into three groups: study group (children with malocclusions and tongue dysfunctions) – 44 patients, comparator group (children with malocclusions and without tongue dysfunctions) – 44 patients, and control group (children without malocclusions or tongue dysfunctions) – 44 patients. The Koczorowski methods were used for the stereognostic tests.

Results:
Age, sex, and malocclusion were taken into account during the differential analysis. The study and comparison groups, study and control groups, and the comparator and control groups all showed statistically significant differences from one another. According to the results, tongue dysfunction affects patients’ ability to coordinate their movements with their senses at a developing stage.

Conclusion:
Patients with malocclusions that are made worse by tongue dysfunctions have poorer oral stereognostic sensibility. Speech therapy and interdisciplinary specialist orthodontic treatment are required for individuals with impaired oral perception who are still in the developmental stage and have abnormal tongue position and function.
