Orbital cellulitis with exudative retinal detachment: A rare finding
Authors: Bajaj Ishita , Rohatgi Jolly , Prasad Rajender 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Orbital cellulitis is a rare cause of exudative retinal detachment (ERD). We hereby present a case of orbital cellulitis associated with ERD from North India. A 42-year-old man presented with features of orbital cellulitis in the left eye for 3 days. An ERD lesion was found in the superior-temporal quadrant of the retina of the same eye. Investigations were performed; however, the cause of orbital cellulitis could not be found. Systemic antibiotics were started, leading to improved orbital cellulitis and resolution of ERD. Orbital cellulitis can be treated with systemic antibiotics. The cure of underlying disease leads to the resolution of ERD.
Pair correlation of the fractional parts of $\alpha n^{\theta}$

Fix

\alpha,\theta >0

and consider the sequence

(\alpha n^{\theta}\; \mathrm{mod}\; 1)_{n\ge 1}

. Since the seminal work of Rudnick–Sarnak (1998) and due to the Berry–Tabor conjecture in quantum chaos, the fine-scale properties of these dilated monomial sequences have been intensively studied. In this paper, we show that for

\theta <14/41

and

\alpha>0

, the pair correlation function is Poissonian. While (for a given

\theta \neq 1

) this strong pseudo-randomness property has been proven for almost all values of

\alpha

, there are next-to-no instances where this has been proven for explicit

\alpha

. Our result holds for all

\alpha>0

and relies solely on classical Fourier analytic techniques. This addresses (in the sharpest possible way) a problem posed by Aistleitner–El-Baz–Munsch (2021).

Published: April 2024

ABSTRACT.
Enteric fever is a major contributor to rising health care costs in developing countries. Associated disease-related complications and drug resistance further compound this problem. Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is an uncommon complication of enteric fever with high morbidity and mortality. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes in enteric fever-associated HLH syndrome. We searched major electronic databases (PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scopus) to identify the cases of enteric fever associated with HLH from inception until June 2023. Prespecified data regarding clinical presentation, outcomes, and HLH therapy were collected. A total of 53 cases of enteric fever with HLH were included in the final analysis. The mean age of patients was 20 years, and the proportions of female and pediatric patients were 52.8% and 45.3%, respectively. The mean duration of illness was 10.4 days. A total of 39.6% of patients had enteric fever-associated complications; coagulopathy and encephalopathy were the most common (23.1% and 13.5%). The overall mortality rate was 9.4% in HLH. A total of 51% of patients received HLH-specific therapy (corticosteroids in 41.5% and intravenous immunoglobulin in 20.8% of patients). On multivariate analysis, high ferritin levels (≥5,000 ng/mL) were significantly associated with mortality (hazard ratio, 3.01; 95% CI = 0.62–14.12, P = 0.041). Enteric fever with secondary HLH is associated with high mortality. This review reveals the potential role of ferritin in disease prognosis. In cases with significantly elevated ferritin levels, the role of immunosuppressants or combination antibiotics should be explored.

Formación de un Domo de Lava en el volcán Sabancaya durante el año 2019: Evidencias de monitoreo multiparamétrico
Authors: Taipe Edu , Aguilar Rigoberto , Antayhua Yanet , Ortega Mayra , Cruz Luis , Choquehuayta Fredy 
Published: April 2024

El volcán Sabancaya ubicado en el sur del Perú entró en erupción el 19 noviembre de 2016, después de 18 años de inactividad. Esta erupción es de tipo vulcaniana, con IEV=1-2. Una de las características más resaltantes de este proceso es la formación de un domo de lava en el cráter, la cual fue registrada por diferentes parámetros de monitoreo. El proceso se inicia el 5 de marzo con la deformación en una fuente de sobrepresurización superficial, y se propone que esto es debido a la desgasificación y migración de un cuerpo magmático. La desgasificación se registra en superficie desde el 27 de marzo con un incremento de flujo de SO2. Durante esta etapa, además, se registran dos sismos LP muy energéticos (105 MJ), que confirmarían el incremento de presión por desgasificación y migración de magma. Consecuentemente, el 27 de abril se incrementa la altura de las columnas eruptivasde 1500 a 3000 m sobre el cráter. Seguidamente, se produce la ruptura de estructuras internas por migración del magma, y se registran enjambres de sismos VT y VTD con energías muy altas (hasta 294 MJ en un día); y la migración de los fluidos por estas fracturas se registra mediante el incremento de energía en los sismos LP. Se propone que la extrusión del domo de lava se produce desde el 6 de setiembre, ya que los sismos de tipo LP son más energéticos, por la desgasificación del magma en ascenso y la ocurrencia un nuevo enjambre de sismicidad VT más superficial, lo cual empuja el magma a la superficie. Finalmente, entre el 26 de noviembre y 3 de diciembre se produce un último aporte magmático que culmina con la formación del domo en el cráter del volcán. Las características sísmicas cambian completamente. La cantidad diaria de las explosiones y LP disminuyen mientras que los sismos TRE e HIB aumentan drásticamente. Esto explicaría la existencia de un conducto abierto y un domo permeable. Dado que no hay deformación superficial o eventos sísmicos asociados a movimiento de volúmenes importantes de fluidos, se propone que es el final de este proceso de extrusión.

Authors: Sreekanth Shruti , Sreekanth Shreya , Viswanathan Sreekanth 
Published: March 2024

Background: COVID-19 vaccines have been developed rapidly to combat the pandemic, but vaccine hesitancy remains a challenge due to concerns about adverse drug reactions (ADRs). This study aimed to compare the ADR profiles of COVID-19 vaccines with established vaccines and investigate differences between adults and children.
Methods: A retrospective observational study used the VAERS database to analyze ADR reports from January 2021 to December 2022 in the United States. Top ten common ADRs and seven severe ADRs associated with COVID-19 vaccines were studied using the Evans Criteria.
Results: Among the common ADRs, only dyspnea showed disproportionate reporting in COVID-19 vaccines. Severe ADRs, including myocarditis, pneumonia, and cerebrovascular accidents, were disproportionately reported. Age-stratified analysis revealed myocarditis disproportionately reported in both adults and children.
Conclusions: This study provides a comprehensive comparison of ADRs between COVID-19 vaccines and established vaccines. Although some severe ADRs were disproportionately reported, further evaluation is required to establish any causal relationships with COVID-19 vaccine. Continuous monitoring of ADRs is crucial for vaccine safety.
Pengaruh Diskriminasi Pajak terhadap Penggelapan Pajak dengan Sanksi Pajak Sebagai Pemoderasi
Authors: Putra M. Doni Permana 
Published: March 2024

Suatu Negara membutuhkan dana untuk membiayai segala kegiatan yang dilakukannya baik pengeluaran rutin maupun pengeluaran pembangunan dalam menjalankan roda pemerintahan. Sampai saai ini sumber penerimaan terbesar di Indonesia bersumber dari pajak. Pajak di definisikan sebagai kontribusi wajib kepada negara yang terutang oleh orang pribadi atau badan yang bersifat memaksa berdasarkan Undang Undang, dengan tidak mendapat timbal balik secara langsung dan digunakan untuk keperluan negara. Pajak dipungut dari warga negara Indonesia dan menjadi kewajiban yang dapat dipaksakan penagihannya. Tidak jarang masyarakat masih memandang pajak sebagai beban yang membuat pendapatannya berkurang. Sehingga kemungkinan untuk melakukan penggelapan pajak sangat besar. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh diskriminasi pajak terhadap penggelapan pajak yang dimoderasi sanksi pajak. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa diskriminasi pajak berpengaruh positif terhadap penggelapan pajak. Sanksi pajak tidak berpengaruh terhadap penggelapan pajak. Dan sanksi pajak tidak mampu memoderasi pengaruh diskriminasi pajak terhadap penggelapan Pajak. Menurut wajib pajak jika terjadi diskriminasi yang membuat wajib pajak merasa tidak mendapatkan rasa keadilan dalam memenuhi kewajiban perpajakannya, wajib pajak merasa tidak perlu mematuhi aturan yang berlaku terkait kewajiban perpajakan ataupun sanksi yang berlaku.

Voltaire and the Theatre of the Eighteenth Century
Authors: Carlson Marvin A. 
Published: April 2024

Born in the final years of the seventeenth century, and dying a decade before the beginning of the French Revolution, Voltaire was a quintessential figure of the eighteenth century, so much so that this era is sometimes called the Age of Voltaire. At a time when French culture dominated Europe, Voltaire dominated French culture. His influence was broad and powerful, and he made major contributions to almost every sphere of intellectual activity, including the sciences, trade and commerce, politics, and especially the arts. Despite the astonishing range of his literary activities, the theatre occupied a central position in his life from the beginning of his career to its close. His first and last literary triumphs were plays, the first written when he was only 17, the last completed when he was 84. He created a total of 56, and there was rarely a time in his life when he was not working on a theatrical script. At the end of his career, his works were produced more frequently on the French stage than those of any other serious dramatist and served as models for aspiring young playwrights throughout Europe.
Written by a leading authority on French theatre and culture in the eighteenth century, this book traces the theatrical career of Voltaire from his college days through his final works. The most influential dramatist of the period, he successfully wrote in a number of genres, including tragedy, comedy, opera, comic opera, and court spectacle. His theatrical biography involves all aspects of acting and staging in amateur and society theatre as well as on major professional stages and performances at court. His extended visits to England and Germany are covered in chapters that also provide an introduction to the theatre in those countries, and his international interests and correspondence provide insights into the eighteenth century theatre in places such as Italy, Russia, and Denmark. Due to his literally life-long concern with the theatre, his dominance in this art, and his reputation and involvement with the theatre outside France, Voltaire's theatrical biography is also in large measure a chronicle of the European stage of the eighteenth century.

Policing in America
Authors: Steverson Leonard A. 
Published: April 2024

This book maps the development of modern policing both theory and practice from humans' first efforts at social control, through the British roots of modern policing, to the unique institution of American policing today.
How Americans view police has varied dramatically through history. In 1856, New York police opposed wearing uniforms because they felt it represented a militaristic and nondemocratic type of organization. Today, our police model themselves on the military and use military tactics in the "war" on drugs.
Policing in America: A Reference Handbook chronicles our changing ideas and methods of social control, beginning with the first recorded instances. It traces the trends that have shaped America's unique policing system and our fascination with police. It also examines the hot-button issues that concern police scholars today such as the nature of the police subculture and police corruption and details the trends and issues that will shape the future of policing. An essential reference for those interested in and affected by the American system of policing, which impacts us all.

Authors: Halinouskaya N. V. , Nak O. V. , Skachkou A. V. 
Published: March 2024

Objective. To form a clinical and functional characterization of patients with chronic dizziness. Materials and methods. A single one-stage cohort study of 32 patients with chronic dizziness (CD), among them 26 women and 6 men, mean age - 49 [36.5; 51.5] years, was conducted. Patients were examined by objective neurologic examination, laboratory (general and biochemical blood tests) and instrumental (radiography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound) methods were used during the study. Barany’s test was also performed, and neuropsychological testing was performed. The data were processed using descriptive statistical methods of the application package “Statistica”, 10.0. Results. During the examination, patients complained of dizziness (100 %) and shakiness when walking (84 %), provoked mainly by intermittent visual stimuli (31 % each). Subjective neurological deficit in patients with CD was caused by kinesthetic sensations of instability (34 %), accompanied by decreased attention and memory (28 %). Objectively, the phase of optokinetic nystagmus in Barany’s test lengthened in the studied group - 190 [170; 225] s and the time of balance retention in Romberg’s pose decreased - 3 [2; 5] s. CD patients were characterized by high personality anxiety - 53 [44; 53] points and autonomic imbalance according to the questionnaire of A.M. Vein - 42 [40; 44] points. We did not reveal a connection of CD with structural anomalies, pathology of brachiocephalic vessels. Conclusion. The clinical and functional status of CD patients was characterized by the absence of focal lesions of the nervous system and a small number of concomitant diseases causing vertigo. At the same time, the patients’ subjective sensations underlying the perception of non-existent stimuli led to impaired maintenance of vertical body position and, in turn, formed an anxiety disorder.

Authors: Ziamko V. Yu. , Dzyadzko A. M. 
Published: March 2024

Objective. To study the effect of drugs regulating acute immune responses on liver in septic processes. Materials and methods. The study was conducted on 39 male white rats weighing 250-400 g. The animals were initiated septic process development by intraperitoneal injection of Klebsiella pneumoniae culture suspension with simultaneous intravenous injection of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and gadolinium in the volume of 0.6 ml. On the 14th day the animals were removed from the experiment by decapitation under light ether anesthesia, blood and liver were taken for biochemical and histological studies. Results. When analyzing the morphometric parameters of liver preparations, an increase in the number of nuclei and a slight increase in the area of nuclei in three experimental groups was established by 1,2 times (p < 0,05) compared to the control group, which reflects the ongoing processes of hepatocyte regeneration due to possible mechanisms, namely hypertrophy nuclei and proliferation with both PVP and gadolinium in systemic inflammatory response and sepsis. Moreover, the use of PVP and gadolinium led to a decrease in the likelihood of perinuclear edema, protein degeneration and large droplet vacuolization (p < 0,05). When using gadolinium, the lumen diameter of the sinusoids was the largest and amounted to 4,47; 3,22-5,63 µm (p<0,05), and in septic shock it did not differ from the group where PVP was used (p > 0,05). Of the laboratory parameters of surviving individuals, the lowest ALaT level was noted in the gadolinium experimental group – 53,7; 51,8-55,1 U/L (p<0,05), while the lowest urea level was observed when using PVP (5,0; 4,99-5,15 mmol/l) (p < 0,05) as part of a systemic inflammatory response. Conclusion. Gadolinium and PVP have a positive effect on the detoxification function of liver. Moreover, the effect of PVP on the morphology and function of the liver differs at the stages of septic process.
