Titulo en ingles: Cellular Signaling in the Bovine Antral Follicles.RESUMEN: El desarrollo del folículo antral en el ovario de la hembra bovina es producto de un complejo de relaciones endocrinas, paracrinas y autocrinas. Las interacciones propiciadas por las gonadotropinas hipofisiarias entre las células de la granulosa y la teca preparan al folículo para la producción de estradiol y posteriormente para las fases finales de maduración oocitaria en el folículo dominante y su posible ovulación, o para la atresia en los folículos subordinados. Es un evento dinámico, donde los patrones de señalización celular cambian secuencial y rápidamente en las diferentes fases de desarrollo folicular (reclutamiento, selección y dominancia). El presente modelo ilustra la revisión de algunas de estas interacciones.Palabras clave: Atresia, Dominancia, Esteroidogénesis, Gonadotropinas, IGF-1.ABSTRACT: Antral follicle development in the ovary of female cattle is the product of a complex of endocrine, paracrine and autocrine relationships. The interactions of the pituitary gonadotropins over granulosa and theca cells prepare the follicle to produce estradiol and for the final stages of maturation of the oocyte and its potencial ovulation or atresia inside subordinate follicles. It is a dynamic event where cellular signaling patterns changes sequentially and quickly at different stages of follicular development (recruitment, selection and dominance). This model illustrates the revision of some of these interactions.Key words: Atresia, Dominance, Gonadotropins, IGF-1, Steroidogenesis.

Titulo en ingles: A regional diagnostic study of the telecommunications sector in the Orinoquia regionRESUMEN: El presente estudio, se realizó con el fin de identificar el estado actual del sector de las telecomunicaciones en la Orinoquia Colombiana e identificar zonas vulnerables, que aunque en el corto plazo no son atractivas económicamente, si lo son socialmente y pueden despertar el interés de la academia, por las oportunidades en investigación y extensión, que hay para las universidades, en varios campos como educación virtual, telesalud, soluciones de conectividad, entre otros. Se encontró una región con un desarrollo heterogéneo del sector de telecomunicaciones, donde Meta, Casanare y Arauca son los departamentos con mayor infraestructura y servicios de telefonía básica y acceso ADSL(Asymetric Digital Suscriber Line) a Internet, y con cobertura en la capital y municipios cercanos. Guaviare, Guainía y Vichada, por el contrario, presentan bajos índices de penetración telefónica y carecen de conexiones rápidas a Internet. Se encontró que BPL (Broadband Power Line) es difícil de implementar en los sectores rurales, por la escasa electrificación (Vichada,Guanía,Guaviare, sectores de Meta, Casanare y Arauca) , que hay una base instalada de cobre que puede aprovecharse con ADSL, y que además, en algunos sectores las tecnologías más convenientes son WiFi (Wireless Fidelity) y VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal).Palabras Clave: Penetración telefónica, Orinoquia, BPL, WiFi, VSAT.PIB,NBI, Wimax, Inclusión digitalABSTRACT: The present survey has been made in order to identify the current state of telecommunications sector in the Colom- bian Orinoquia and identify vulnerable zones that although in the near future are not economically attractive, aresocially attractive, and can be interesting to academy because they offer researching and cooperation opportunities to universities in several field such as e-learning, telehealth, connectivity solutions, among others. It was found an region with an heterogeneous development of its telecommunications sector, where Meta, Casanare, and Arauca, are the departments with the biggest POTS, and ADSL Internet access infrastructure, with coverage in the capital and near municipalities. On the other hand, Guaviare, Guainía and Vichada have low telephony penetration and lack of fast Internet connections. It was found that BPL is difficult to implement in the rural sectors by the little electrifica- tion (Vichada, Guainía, Guaviare, and sectors of Meta,Casanare and Arauca), that there is an installed base of cooper that could support ADSL, and that in several sector the most suitable technologies are Wifi and VSAT.Keys Word: Internet, Wifi, Banda Ancha, BPL, VSAT, ADLS.
IRS Enforcement and Voluntary Tax Disclosure
Authors: Ehinger Anne C. , Lee Joshua A. , Stomberg Bridget , Towery Erin 
Published: April 2024

ABSTRACT
Although voluntary tax disclosures can improve firms’ information environments and reduce financial statement users’ costs of processing complex tax information, they can also inform tax authorities about tax avoidance strategies. This study explores the content of voluntary tax disclosures during quarterly earnings announcements and conference calls to examine the effect of IRS enforcement on managers’ voluntary tax disclosure decisions. We estimate a negative relation between IRS enforcement and voluntary tax disclosures that is concentrated in the subset of firms with high levels of tax avoidance. These results are consistent with managers having concerns about the potential costs of voluntary disclosures to tax authorities. In supplemental analysis, we find results consistent with voluntary tax disclosures benefiting analysts, but at the cost of increasing IRS attention. Collectively, our results suggest an unintended negative effect of IRS enforcement on the information environment.

Surgical Treatment of Post-Amputation Foot Deformations in Diabetic Neuropathy
Authors: Bardyugov P. S. , Parshikov M. V. , Yarygin N. V. 
Published: April 2024

Relevance The number of amputations performed on patients with diabetic foot syndrome is increasing all over the world. Almost half of these operations are the so-called “minor amputations” carried out within the foot. The high recurrence rate of neuropathic ulcers, impaired biomechanics, and a decrease in the quality of life of patients after these surgeries encourage the study of this problem and the search for possible treatment options due to the capabilities of surgical treatment for post-amputation foot deformities.Aim of study To evaluate the nature of surgical interventions for post-amputation foot deformities in patients with diabetic neuropathy.Material and methods The literature search was carried out in the databases of medical publications PubMed, CyberLeninka, Google Scholar, Scopus, Medline, eLIBRARY among articles in English and Russian. The search was performed using the following terms: transmetatarsal resection, diabetic foot syndrome, transmetatarsal amputation, minor amputation.Results Surgical treatment methods for deformities after amputation of part of the forefoot are widely presented in the world literature and are more studied. The possibilities of correcting foot deformities that occurred after amputation of the entire anterior section (from transmetatarsal amputation to the level of the Chopart`s joint) are less covered, this direction and methods have been studied to a lesser extent.Conclusions Surgical methods for the correction of post-amputation foot deformities have firmly entered the wide international practice. Their effectiveness is confirmed by studies with a high level of evidence. Nevertheless, a wider, academic research of the problem of orthopedic status in patients with this pathology and the corresponding methods of surgical treatment is required.

Authors: Anisimov A. A. , Ivanov R. V. , Voronin M. V. , Spiridonov V. A. 
Published: April 2024

Relevance In modern realities, medical workers, primarily representatives of surgical specialties, are increasingly faced with the need to have legal literacy, since medical activities associated with surgical practice are associated with high legal risks.Aim of study Studying the legal training of surgeons in the Republic of Tatarstan based on the experience of participating in criminal proceedings in cases related to improper provision of medical care.Material and methods During the period from May 15 to May 31, 2021, an anonymous survey of 124 surgeons from various medical organizations of the Republic of Tatarstan was conducted. The questionnaire consisted of 13 multiple-choice questions with an additional field for comments. The participation in the survey was voluntary, and the questions were devoted to the experience of participation in criminal proceedings in “medical” cases and the need for legal training in this matter.Results Among those surveyed, 51.5% of respondents at least once during the years of their career gave explanations to law enforcement agencies regarding the unfavorable outcome of medical care, and 38.7% were directly involved in a criminal case. According to 52.2% of respondents, the most common reason for complaints to law enforcement agencies is the inadequacy/bad manners of patients. The vast majority of doctors surveyed are guided in their activities by currently existing procedures, orders, standards and clinical recommendations. However, more than 37% of doctors have no idea how to act in the event of a criminal case being initiated due to an unfavorable outcome of medical care, and for 71.0%, medico-legal training is “highly relevant”.Conclusion The problem of criminal liability for improper provision of medical care for surgeons in the Republic of Tatarstan is extremely relevant. There is an urgent need to develop interdisciplinary formats for interaction between the medical, forensic and legal communities in order to improve the legal literacy of medical workers and reduce criminal risks in surgical practice.
Microvasculature of the suspensory ligament of the equine hind limb
Authors: Williams Megan R. , Crisman Evan , Taylor Brianne M. 
Published: April 2024

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To describe the microvascular anatomy of the equine hind limb suspensory ligament.

ANIMALS
18 hind limbs harvested from 9 adult horses euthanized for reasons unrelated to lameness.

METHODS
A catheter was placed in the transected cranial tibial artery at the level of the mid-distal tibia for each hind limb and used to inject 120 to 150 mL of contrast medium (2 limbs) to identify principal vasculature using contrast-enhanced CT or India ink (11 limbs) to identify microvasculature using the Spalteholz tissue-clearing technique. Routine histologic evaluation was performed on transverse sections from 4 hind limbs.

RESULTS
The hind limb suspensory ligament is principally supplied by branches of the medial and lateral plantar metatarsal arteries and, to a lesser extent, the medial and lateral plantar arteries as well as the associated proximal and distal deep plantar arches. A uniformly distributed intraligamentous microvascular supply was observed without relative deficiencies in vascularity between the proximal, midbody, and distal regions. Histologic examination supported these findings, demonstrating a network of connective tissue surrounding and entering the suspensory ligament containing cross-sections of branches of the principal vasculature.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
The equine hind limb suspensory ligament has a uniformly distributed and abundant microvascular supply throughout its length, with no evidence of relative deficiency of vascular supply in any region. A region of hypovascularity does not appear to be a viable explanation for the high rate of injury to and commonality of lameness associated with the proximal hind suspensory ligament in horses.

Authors: Mubeen Wisha , Khalid Mariyam , Kamran Aliza , Izhar Faisal , Tanvir Maha , Hassan Shafia 
Published: April 2024

<p><strong>Background and Objective:</strong> Stress-related behaviors such as challenging academic atmosphere and rigorous examinations exert a negative impact on the normal function of temporomandibular joint. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and severity of temporomandibular joint disorders (TMDs) and their association with examination-related stress among medical (Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery) and dental (Bachelor of Dental Surgery) students.</p>
<p><strong>Methods:</strong> This cross-sectional survey was conducted at Fatima Memorial Hospital, College of Medicine and Dentistry, Lahore, Pakistan, from June 2022 to November 2022 using the Fonseca&rsquo;s Questionnaire. A total of 198 medical and dental students were included as study participants. They were required to select just 1 response for each of the 10 items mentioned in the adopted but customized and validated questionnaire. TMD was categorized as mild, moderate, severe, or no TMD based on the sum of these responses. The data were analysed using statistical software and a p-value less than or equal to 0.05 was set as significant.</p>
<p><strong>Results:</strong> There were 52 (26.2%) males and 146 (73.7%) females with a mean age of 24.2 +1.22 years. Among 198 students, 104 were dental students while 94 were medical students. The prevalence of TMD was found to be 63.6% among all students. There was no TMD in 36.4% of students while 42.9% of students had mild TMD, and moderate and severe TMD was found in 14.1% and 6.6% of students, respectively. Mild (74%) and severe (6.7%) TMD were more prevalent in dental students than in medical students while moderate TMD was found more in medical students (16%). However, these differences were statistically not significant between dental and medical students (p &gt; 0.005).</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> TMD was found in both medical and dental students with no significant difference in severity between them. The study indicates the need to take on certain preventive and therapeutic strategies to address this disorder among anxiety-prone medical and dental students.</p>

Published: April 2024

<p><strong>Background and Objective:</strong> The rubber dam is the only method that can ensure complete isolation during dental procedures. During endodontic and restorative procedures, it improves patient protection, treatment efficacy, and infection control. A novel rubber dam system called Optradam has introduced a remarkably comfortable, user-friendly clamp-free technique. Therefore, this study was conducted to compare conventional rubber and OptraDam&reg;Plus (Ivoclar Vivadent) based on patients&rsquo; and dentist preferences.</p>
<p><strong>Methods: </strong>After receiving ethics board clearance, this trial was carried out at the Department of Operative Dentistry at a tertiary care hospital in Islamabad from June to December 2022. A total of 30 participants were assigned to each group; conventional rubber dam (Group-1) and OptraDam&reg;Plus (Group-2). Two questionnaires were designed and validated one to be completed by dental practitioners and the other by patients. The gathered information was analyzed using statistical tests of significance.</p>
<p><strong>Results:</strong> A total of 60 patients were treated; 31 (52%) males and 29 (28%) females with a mean age of 32.35 years (SD = 4.59). Both the dentists (80% ) and the patients (73.3%) favored the conventional rubber dam system (Group-1). Concerning patient comfort, the conventional rubber dam (96.7%) was considered more comfortable than the OptraDam&reg;Plus (Group-2) (86.7%). More effective moisture management was seen in Group-1 patients (90%). Other factors, such as time, convenience of application, and imaging radiography, had statistically insignificant results among both groups.</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> The results indicate that both patients as well as operators, preferred the use of conventional rubber dams over OptraDam&reg;Plus during an endodontic and restorative procedure.</p>
