Authors: Kholodkova Olga G. , Parfenova Galina L. 
Published: December 2023

Introduction. The article is devoted to an urgent problem in modern reality: the state of self-efficacy and life-meaning orientations among high school students as factors of life achievements, well-being and success in the chosen field.
Purpose: to summarize the empirical results of the study of the relationship between self-efficacy and high school students, which will allow psychologists to take into account the revealed facts in working with students aimed at developing their self-efficacy in the personal and activity sphere, based on a real assessment of the meaning of life, life plans and values.
The scientific novelty of the presented data is in confirming the fact of the relationship between the types and components of self-efficacy, on the one hand, and the meaning-of-life orientations of the individual, on the other.
Methodology and methods. The research was carried out on the basis of subject-activity and humanistic approaches with the implementation of psychodiagnostic and theoretical methods (analysis, comparison, generalization), methods of structural and genetic data analysis.
Results. The relevance of identifying and taking into account the relationship of self-efficacy and life-meaning orientations in the context of effective maturation and personality formation of high school students is substantiated; empirical data and their author’s analysis are presented using three methods.
The scope of the results: education, development, psychological counseling, psychocorrection, psychoprophylaxis, socio-psychological design.
Conclusion. The presented results confirmed that there is a direct relationship between the components of the CSR and the self-efficacy of the individual: the higher the life-sense orientations are developed, the higher the level of self-efficacy in general, self-efficacy in the subject and interpersonal spheres; the higher the self-efficacy of the individual, the more mature the life-sense orientations are.

Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND
One of the major perioperative complications for coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) is stroke. The risk of perioperative stroke after CABG is approximately 2%. Carotid stenosis (CS) is considered an independent predictor of perioperative stroke risk in CABG patients. The optimal management of such patients has been a source of controversy. One of the possible surgical options is synchronous carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and CABG. Here, we have presented 4 cases of successful synchronous CEA and CABG.
CASE SUMMARY
Our center’s experience with 4 cases of significant carotid artery stenosis, which were successfully managed with combined CEA and CABG, are detailed. The first case was a female who presented for CABG after a ST-elevation myocardial infarction. She had right internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion and 90% left ICA stenosis. The second case was a male who was electively admitted for CABG. It was discovered that he had left ICA occlusion and 90% right ICA stenosis. The third case was a male with a history of stroke, two months prior to admission. He presented with non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction. Preoperatively, it was discovered that he had > 90% right ICA stenosis. The final case was a male who was electively admitted for CABG. It was discovered that he had bilateral > 90% ICA stenosis. We have also reviewed the current evidence and guidelines for managing CS in patients undergoing CABG.
CONCLUSION
Our case series demonstrated that synchronous CEA and CABG was safe. A multicenter study with additional patients is needed. It is necessary for clinicians to screen for CS in high-risk patients with features.

Authors: Gao Shang , Geng Xingyi , Lu Qingbin , Wu Shanzheng , Shan Zhaoxia , Chang Caiyun 
Published: December 2023

Background
Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) has become a significant public health issue in Jinan City. However, the analysis of epidemiological characteristics and spatio-temporal clustering of SFTS in Jinan has not been studied yet.

Methods
SFTS data from 2018−2022 in Jinan City were obtained from the China Information System for Disease Control and Prevention. Global spatial autocorrelation and local spatial autocorrelation analyses were performed using ArcGIS 10.2 software, and spatiotemporal hotspot area detection was carried out using SatScan 9.6 software.

Results
Between 2018 and 2022, 680 SFTS cases were reported in Jinan City, resulting in 53 deaths and an average case fatality rate of 7.8%. 99.0% of cases occurred between April and October, 91.9% individuals were over 50 years old, and 87.79% were primarily farmers. A positive spatial correlation of SFTS in Jinan was observed (Moran’s I value between 0.135−0.197, P<0.001), indicating spatial aggregation, primarily in Licheng, Zhangqiu, Laiwu, and Gangcheng districts in southeastern Jinan. Spatiotemporal scanning detected one class I and two class II aggregation areas, with the class I aggregation area (RR = 5.66, LLR = 192.547, P<0.001) locating in southeastern Jinan City, comprising 31 towns/streets, and an aggregation time from 13 May 2020 to 13 October 2022.

Conclusion
Spatial and temporal aggregation of SFTS is evident in Jinan. Based on the spatial and temporal distribution and epidemiological characteristics, prevention and control measures such as public education, monitoring, and training should target key populations in high-incidence epidemic areas.
Corticosteroids for COVID-19-induced olfactory dysfunction: A comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
Authors: Wang Jian-Ying , Pao Jiunn-Bey , Lee Chih-Hsin , Wang Jann-Yuan , Lee Ming-Chia , Wu Tzu-Tuan 
Published: December 2023

Background
Olfactory dysfunction is a common manifestation in COVID-19 patients and can significantly impact their quality of life. Corticosteroids have been proposed as a potential treatment, but their efficacy remains controversial. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to comprehensively analyze the efficacy of corticosteroid therapy for treating COVID-19-related olfactory dysfunction.

Methods
A literature search was conducted in PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Embase databases up to March 1, 2023. Randomized controlled trials investigating the effects of corticosteroids on olfactory dysfunction in patients with COVID-19 were included. The primary outcome was the olfactory score at the end of follow-up, and the secondary outcomes were the duration and the rate of recovery from olfactory dysfunction.

Results
Seven randomized controlled trials with 999 participants were included in the meta-analysis. Compared with the control group, corticosteroid treatment resulted in a statistically significant improvement in olfactory score with a standardized mean difference of 0.55 (95% CI: 0.15 to 0.95). Topical corticosteroids were found to be effective, but systemic corticosteroids were not. In addition, longer durations and higher dosages of corticosteroids treatment may also be associated with significant improvements in olfactory scores. No significant effect was observed on the duration or recovery rate of olfactory dysfunction.

Conclusions
Our findings suggest that topical corticosteroid treatment is a viable option for improving COVID-19-related olfactory dysfunction, but further research is needed to investigate optimal treatment protocols and safety profiles.
Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on adult mental health-related admissions at a large university health system in North Carolina – one year into the pandemic
Authors: Der Tatyana , Helmke Nicole , Stout Jason E. , Turner Nicholas A. 
Published: December 2023

Objective
Pandemic-associated stress may have exacerbated preexisting mental health and substance use disorders (MH/SUD) and caused new MH/SUD diagnoses which would be expected to lead to an increase in visits to emergency departments and hospital admissions for these conditions. This study assessed whether the proportion of hospital and emergency department encounters for MH/SUD diagnoses increased during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States.

Methods
We conducted a longitudinal (interrupted time series) analysis of 994,724 eligible encounters identified by electronic query between January 1, 2016 and March 31, 2021. Of these, 55,574 encounters involved MH/SUD diagnosis. The pre-pandemic period was defined as January 1, 2016 to March 31, 2020, and the pandemic period was defined as April 1, 2020 to March 31, 2021. All statistical analyses were performed with R.

Results
No significant trend in MH/SUD encounters at baseline (rate ratio 1.00, 95% CI 0.99–1.01, p = 0.75) was observed. However, the onset of the pandemic was temporally associated with a significant level increase in the proportion of MH/SUD encounters relative to overall encounters (rate ratio 1.14, 95% CI 1.06–1.21, p<0.001) with no change in the overall trend (rate ratio 0.99, 95% CI 0.90–1.10, p = 0.89).

Conclusions
The significant pandemic-associated increase in the proportion of MH/SUD encounters relative to overall encounters was driven largely by sustained numbers of MH/ SUD encounters despite a decrease in total encounters. Increased support for mental health care is needed for these vulnerable patients during pandemics.
Predictors of public attitudes in Saudi Arabia toward people who stutter
Authors: Al Awaji Nisreen Naser , Alfouzan Reem Fouzan , Almutairi Afnan Razen , Mortada Eman M. 
Published: December 2023

Purpose
The Public Opinion Survey of Human Attributes-Stuttering (POSHA-S) was used to measure the attitudes of the general population in Saudi Arabia toward people who stutter (PWS) and to identify the predictors of the overall stuttering score (OSS).

Method
A total of 404 adults from Saudi Arabia (16.8% male and 83.2% female) completed an online POSHA-S questionnaire.

Results
The attitudes of adults in Saudi Arabia were similar to those of other samples worldwide. Working status, income, and multilingualism were substantial predictors of the OSS.

Conclusion
Saudi adults have positive impressions, beliefs, and self-reactions to PWS. However, their knowledge of stuttering tends to be limited. Therefore, campaigns conducted to raise awareness of stuttering should adopt the most widely used sources of knowledge in the Saudi Arabian community (i.e., the Internet and social media). Sociodemographic variables predictive of positive versus negative OSS include working status and multilingualism. Unpredictive variables, that do not predict positive versus negative OSS, include age, gender, education, parental status, health, abilities, and income.

Published: December 2023

Objective
To determine stillbirth ratio and its association with maternal, perinatal, and delivery characteristics, as well as geographic differences in Latin American countries (LAC).

Methods
We analysed data from the Perinatal Information System of the Latin American Center for Perinatology and Human Development (CLAP) between January 2018 and June 2021 in 8 health facilities from five LAC countries (Bolivia, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and the Dominican Republic). Maternal, pregnancy, and delivery characteristics, in addition to pregnancy outcomes were reported. Estimates of association were tested using chi-square tests, and P < 0.05 was regarded as significant. Bivariate analysis was conducted to estimate stillbirth risk. Prevalence ratios (PR) with their 95% confidence intervals (CI) for each predictor were reported.

Results
In total, 101,852 childbirths comprised the SIP database. For this analysis, we included 99,712 childbirths. There were 762 stillbirths during the study period; the Stillbirth ratio of 7.7/1,000 live births (ranged from 3.8 to 18.2/1,000 live births across the different maternities); 586 (76.9%) were antepartum stillbirths, 150 (19.7%) were intrapartum stillbirths and 26 (3.4%) with an ignored time of death. Stillbirth was significantly associated with women with diabetes (PRadj 2.36; 95%CI [1.25–4.46]), preeclampsia (PRadj 2.01; 95%CI [1.26–3.19]), maternal age (PRadj 1.04; 95%CI [1.02–1.05]), any medical condition (PRadj 1.48; 95%CI [1.24–1.76, and severe maternal outcome (PRadj 3.27; 95%CI [3.27–11.66]).

Conclusions
Pregnancy complications and maternal morbidity were significantly associated with stillbirths. The stillbirth ratios varied across the maternity hospitals, which highlights the importance for individual surveillance. Specialized antenatal and intrapartum care remains a priority, particularly for women who are at a higher risk of stillbirth.

Published: December 2023

Background
There is a paucity of studies which have examined associations between ultrasound based fetal anthropometric parameters and neurodevelopment in all infants. We examined the association between ultrasound based fetal anthropometric parameters and neurodevelopment in all infants through a secondary analysis of data collected in a large community based randomized controlled trial.

Methods
A total of 1465 mother-child dyads were included. Ultrasound based fetal anthropometric parameters which included the head circumference (HC), abdominal circumference (AC), femur length (FL), biparietal diameter (BPD) and transcerebellar diameter (TCD) were collected at 26–28 weeks of gestation and their association with neurodevelopment at 24 months of age was examined.

Results
Only the transcerebellar diameter z score was positively associated +0.54 units (95% CI: 0.15, 0.93) with motor composite score. When the neurodevelopment outcomes were analyzed as categorical, none of the fetal variables were associated with risk of moderate to severe neurodevelopment impairment.

Conclusion
The findings suggest that transcerebellar diameter could be useful for early prediction of neurodevelopmental outcomes in childhood.

Published: December 2023

The name Fritillaria leucantha is usually considered as one of the synonyms of F. verticillata. However, morphological data indicate that this judgment should be reconsidered. In this article, we typify the name F. leucantha, provide its taxonomic history, and provide a detailed description. Based on our review and other data, we determine the species’ range to be within Altai. In parallel with this, a solution to the emerging issue of choosing the type material of F. verticillata is proposed.

La promoción y protección de derechos de niños, niñas y adolescentes y las medidas excepcionales en la escuela primaria: discursos, vínculos y prácticas
Authors: Munuce María Catalina 
Published: December 2023

El presente trabajo busca socializar algunos aspectos de una investigación cuyo objetivo fue analizar los procesos locales de institucionalización de derechos en una escuela primaria pública de una ciudad intermedia de la provincia de Buenos Aires, haciendo foco en las prácticas discursivas que llevan adelante los integrantes del equipo de orientación escolar de dicha institución. Entendiendo a estas prácticas discursivas (Foucault, 1970) como una vía de acceso posible para enlazar tanto la genealogía de ese proceso de institucionalización, es decir, los procesos políticos de conformación de la condición jurídica de la infancia, así como lo micropolítico. La propuesta procuró develar cómo los actores intervinientes interpretan y traducen los preceptos legales, produciendo intervenciones que impactan en los sujetos a los que se busca proteger, demarcando nuevas miradas políticas sobre la infancia. El propósito fue arrojar luz en el espacio que media entre lo individual y lo social, lo que hay de político en los discursos que modifican la vida de los/as otros/as, buscando entrever qué infancias se construyen en ese cruce.
Relapsing polychondritis that developed after piercing (clinical case)
Authors: Movsesyan A. A. , Krasnenko S. O. , Urumova M. M. , Godzenko A. A. 
Published: December 2023

Relapsing polychondritis (RPC) belongs to a group of rare rheumatic diseases with poorly understood etiology and pathogenesis. It is based on progressive systemic inflammatory damage to the cartilage tissue, primarily affecting ears, nose, trachea and bronchi. A standardized approach for the treatment of RPC has not yet been developed, so the treatment tactics are individualized for each patient.We describe a clinical case of a 39-year-old patient, who developed RPC after piercing the cartilaginous part of the ear. The components of the alloy used for the piercing could presumably serve as adjuvants and cause the development of a disease similar to ASIA syndrome (Autoimmune/Inflammatory Syndrome Induced by Adjuvants) with inflammation of the cartilage of the nose and ears. Possible pathogenetic mechanisms are presented, as well as diagnostic criteria for ASIA syndrome.
Dissociation of clinical symptoms and magnetic resonance imaging data in axial psoriatic arthritis

Published: December 2023

Currently, there is no generally accepted definition of axial lesions in psoriatic arthritis (axPsA), and the diagnostic criteria are extrapolated from the recommendations for ankylosing spondylitis and axial spondyloarthritis.Objective: To evaluate data of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of spine and sacroiliac joints (SIJ) in patients with psoriasis complaining of chronic back pain of any cause.Material and methods. 143 patients were enrolled to the study, including 57 (39.9%) men and 86 (60.1%) women, median age – 47 [36; 57] years, mean duration of psoriasis was 17.4±13.4 years. In all patients, the agreement of the existing symptoms with the inflammatory back pain (IBP) criteria of A. Calin et al., M. Rudwaleit et al. and ASAS was checked. All patients underwent MRI of the spine and SIJ, determination of ESR, CRP levels, HLA-B27 and consultations with a dermatologist and a rheumatologist.Results and discussion. An association of bone marrow edema (BME) in the spine and SIJ with nail involvement (odds ratio, OR 2.32; 95% confidence interval, CI 1.12–4.81; p=0.035), palmoplantar psoriasis (OR 3.85; 95% CI 1.43–10.41; p=0.054) and a weak correlation with PASI (r=0.329, p=0.034) was found. There were no statistically significant differences in PASI between patients with BME and without BME. In patients with IBP who fulfilled the criteria of A. Calin et al., osteitis in the SIJ was present in 19 (34.5%; OR 2.79; 95% CI 1.26–6.19; p=0.01); Berlin criteria of 4 signs – 25 (28.7%; OR 2.42; 95% CI 1.00–5.84; p=0.045); Berlin criteria of 3 signs – in 18 (24.0%; OR 1.12; 95% CI 0.51–2.44; p=0.783); ASAS criteria – in 17 (34.0%; OR 2.48; 95% CI 1.12–5.49; p=0.023). In almost half of the patients with BME in the spine or SIJ, the symptoms did not fulfil the criteria for IBP. Signs such as the presence and duration of morning stiffness had a high prognostic value. Isolated spondylitis (presence of BME in vertebrae and absence of BME in SIJ) was rarely found in patients with IBP fulfilling various criteria (in 4.0–8.1% of cases).Conclusion. Considering the existing discrepancy between symptoms and MRI results, it is necessary to develop independent tools for screening and early diagnosis of axPsA.
