Abstract
The precision design of beta-phase gallium oxide (β-Ga2O3) power devices requires appropriate physical properties, including a breakdown electric field intensity. To clarify the breakdown electric field in β-Ga2O3, we fabricated vertical Schottky barrier diodes (SBDs) with a field plate (FP) on a β-Ga2O3 (001) epitaxial layer and simulated their breakdown situations under reverse bias. The calculated breakdown voltages of the SBD with a single FP were consistent with the experimental values when assuming an electric field criterion of 5 MV cm−1 in β-Ga2O3. By designing a SBD with a double FP according to the electric field criterion above, a breakdown voltage over 2 kV and specific on-resistance of 6.9 mΩ cm2 were realized simultaneously. This results in an electric field criterion that is useful for the design parameter of β-Ga2O3 devices to balance a high breakdown voltage and low on-resistance.

É notável o número cada vez mais crescente da população idosa em todo o mundo, trazendo consigo a necessidade cada vez maior de estudos direcionados para essa população, a fim de garantir uma melhor qualidade de vida nesse processo de envelhecimento. A Disfunção Temporomandibular (DTM), conceituada como
anormalidade das articulações temporomandibulares e distúrbios articulares e/ou musculares da região orofacial, pode originar morbidades que resultam em consequências em afetar a qualidade de vida do indivíduo idoso, necessitando muitas vezes do atendimento de diversas áreas. Sendo assim o objetivo desse estudo foi conhecer como a Disfunção Temporomandibular perturba a qualidade de vida dos idosos, assim como identificar os principais fatores que causam esse impacto negativo. Realizou-se uma revisão narrativa da literatura, em que foram avaliadas publicações indexadas em três bases de dados: Google Acadêmico, SciELO e periódicos da CAPES. As palavras-chave empregadas para especificar a busca foram DTM, idosos e qualidade de vida. Foram usados apenas artigos nacionais. A qualidade de vida dos idosos é afetada em diferentes aspectos de sua vida, principalmente em fatores psicológicos, alimentares e no sono. Verificou-se também uma relação do edentulismo com alterações davarticulação temporomandibular. Observou-se a necessidade da intervenção de uma equipe multidisciplinar para garantir um tratamento completo e melhor qualidade de vida para a pessoa idosa portadora de disfunção temporomandibular.

Purpose: Evaluation of nephrotoxicity by renal scintigraphy in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer receiving radionuclide therapy 177Lu-PSMA-617. Material and methods: In this work the data obtained by renal scintigraphy using two radiopharmaceutical drugs 99mTc-MAG3 and 99mTc-DTPA were analyzed in 32 patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer receiving radionuclide therapy 177Lu-PSMA-617. Results: In all patients included in this study, both before the start of radionuclide therapy and after receiving several fractions of therapy, there were no critically significant violations of renal function. By the last fraction of radionuclide therapy on the KDIGO scale, category C1, corresponding to normal renal function, was observed in 34 % of patients, which is 6 % more than before the start of therapy. At the same time, 6 % of patients began to have significantly reduced renal function (category C3b), which was not determined in any of the patients before the start of therapy with 177Lu-PSMA-617. In 13 % of patients there was a moderate decrease (category C3a) and in 47 % of patients there was a slight decrease (category C2) in renal function. Conclusions: Despite the prevailing concerns about nephrotoxicity caused by 177Lu-PSMA-617 therapy, the glomerular filtration rate, calculated both by a formula based on creatinine levels in the blood and when using renal scintigraphy with 99mTc-DTPA, remained within the age norm in this study. At the same time, there was a tendency to increase the level of creatinine in the blood after the second fraction of radionuclide therapy, which may indicate initial functional changes in the kidneys. It was also noted that from fraction to fraction there is a gradual slowdown in the main time indicators of filtration and excretory kidney function (according to dynamic renal scintigraphy), such as Tmax and T1/2, which may also indicate functional changes in the kidneys against the background of therapy.

Authors: Karam Tanius 
Published: December 2023

Los objetivos de este texto son explorar la idea del dinero como un concepto que puede estudiarse desde los objetos que preocupan a la comunicación;precisar lo que la investigación académica de dicha disciplina ha manifestado acerca del mismo y definir los significados que las tradiciones en comunicación pueden tener del dinero. Nuestra pregunta general es qué tipo de servicio puede dar la comunicación académica a la educación financiera y sus educadores, así como a la investigación de este campo, sus agentes, interacciones, flujos y contextos.
Para ello realizamos tres ejercicios: definimos la importancia y los referentes básicos del campo semántico; se hizo un sondeo de la presencia de algunos de estos elementos en la base de datos CCDOC de Fuentes Navarro, y se identificaron las principales tradiciones fundacionales de la comunicación que aparecen, para luego ser definidas a la luz del metamodelo constitutivo de Robert Craig (2016), con la idea de sistematizar algunas definiciones de elementos del campo en la reflexión académica de la comunicación.

Puentes virtuales y formas expresivas mediatizadas
Authors: Montejano Hernández Yolanda 
Published: December 2023

La conciencia del cuerpo como elemento creativo cobra un nuevo sentido con las formas de expresión mediatizadas que surgen en las últimas dos décadas, la incorporación de la realidad aumentada, los efectos a partir del 3D y 4D y la inclusión de tecnologías como complemento, que permiten al artista extender la experiencia, haciendo realidad el planteamiento de Marshal McLuhan (1996) sobre los medios como extensiones del hombre, lo que además involucra de manera distinta al público. Puentes virtuales que cruzan desde los creadores, los soportes y los públicos, donde se genera una dinámica distinta a partir de la convergencia tecnológica.
Se recuperan elementos históricos sobre los procesos, a partir de las teorías de la danza, del cuerpo como elemento en el proceso creativo y la nueva ecología de los medios de comunicación; propuestas teóricas que surgen de los postulados del determinismo tecnológico que planteó McLuhan la última mitad del siglo pasado, retomados por la escuela de Toronto y necesarios para dimensionar el arte actual.
A partir de conceptos que surgen en la esfera de la comunicación se explican formas de aproximación a la cultura, lo que permite acercar a los estudiantes de distintas disciplinas sociales a un área de especialidad poco socorrida, la comunicación del arte, con una conciencia de la evolución que existe en los procesos creativos y los montajes actuales, generando puentes entre disciplinas.

A principios de 2023, Rusia inició una operación militar especial bajo los argumentos de desmilitarización y desnazificación de Ucrania, al ser elementos que impiden el proceso de rusificación del espacio postsoviético. En el aspecto de derecho internacional, Rusia unilateralmente contravino el Memorándum de Budapest de 1994 sobre la desnuclearización de Ucrania a cambio de la inviolabilidad de sus fronteras. El objetivo del ensayo es vincular el concepto de Diplomacia Pública con la narrativa de interpretación del entorno de los dos Estados en conflicto y el posicionamiento internacional de los principales actores involucrados en el primer aniversario del inicio del mismo. La intervención ha transitado de una situación local a un desafío global cuya relevancia radica en que la riqueza agrícola y mineral del área con repercusiones en las cadenas de suministro, desplazamiento de civiles y en lo que se perfila como los cimientos de una nueva estructura de poder mundial en la era de la información.

The origin of the self-appellation Sinti: A historical and linguistic examination
Authors: REITINGER DAPHNE 
Published: December 2023

The origin of the self-appellation Sinti has been the subject of investigation for well over 200 years. In the wake of the discovery of the Indo-Aryan affiliation of Romani, one of the earliest sources (Biester 1793b) mentioning the term “Sinte” interprets it asder wahre Name(the true name) of all Gypsies and allocates its origin to the province Sindh of the Indian sub-continent (Biester 1793b: 365–6). More recently, Matras (1999; 2019) argued for the termSintito be a European borrowing in Romani due to its employment of inflectional patterns characteristic of European loanwords. In this paper, early attestations of this self-appellation with regard to their dialectological inferences are examined and an underlying rootsintis ascertained. Via the Middle High German (MHG) etymonsint, in the meaning of “way, road, journey,” and the German collective and appellative suffix-e, the meaning ofSintiis interpreted as “wayfarers” or “those who journey.”This article was published open access under a CC BY licence:https://creativecommons.org/licences/by/4.0.
Tim-3 Is Not Required for Establishment of CD8+ T Cell Memory to Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis Virus
Authors: Manandhar Priyanka , Szymczak-Workman Andrea L , Kane Lawrence P 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Tim-3 is a transmembrane protein that is best known for being highly expressed on terminally exhausted CD8+ T cells associated with chronic infection and tumors, although its expression is not limited to those settings. Tim-3 is also expressed by CD8+ T cells during acute infection and by multiple other immune cell types, including CD4+ Th1 and regulatory T cells, dendritic cells, and mast cells. In this study, we investigated the role of Tim-3 signaling on CD8+ T cell memory using a Tim-3 conditional knockout mouse model and mice lacking the signaling portion of the Tim-3 cytoplasmic domain. Together, our results indicate that Tim-3 has at most a modest effect on the formation and function of CD8+ memory T cells.
Acute choreiform movements in the feet: A case report
Authors: Rajmohan Ravi , Rabbani Reha , Kuoy Edward , Attaripour Sanaz 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
A 48-year-old man presented to a tertiary care center with a 1.5-year history of sudden-onset choreiform movements in both feet. The movements were greater in the left foot, with a preceding 1-month history of cocaine and amphetamine/dextroamphetamine use. His symptoms persisted even after discontinuing the use of these substances; the movements were present while awake and absent while asleep and caused extreme discomfort while wearing shoes. Numerous trials of medications did not alleviate his symptoms, except for transient improvement with risperidone. His examination was notable for writhing movements of the toes, which was worse in the left foot than the right foot. The movements occasionally spread to the left knee, and he had length-dependent decreased temperature and vibration sensation in the lower extremities and an unsteady gait. Brain magnetic resonance imaging without contrast obtained 1 year after symptom onset demonstrated T2/fluid-attenuated inversion recovery hyperintense signal with a rim of hypointensity in the bilateral globus pallidi. Magnetic resonance imaging 1 year later displayed stable findings of bilaterally symmetric diffuse hypointensities in the globus pallidi. The patient was diagnosed with chorea, presumed secondary to his cocaine use. He was started on multiagent treatment with clonazepam, tetrabenazine, and onabotulinum toxin A. A thorough history and analysis of his risk factors was essential to determine the underlying cause of his symptoms to guide effective treatment; however, to the best of our knowledge, no effective long-term treatments for chorea in patients such as that in our study have been documented to date. This case of cocaine-induced chorea adds to the growing documentation of scenarios, in which cocaine use can lead to chronic movement disorders.
Hemichorea after internal carotid artery bifurcation aneurysm clipping
Authors: Gopal Suraj , HV Easwer , Sudhir Jayanand B , Nair Prakash , Krishnan Syam 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Involuntary movements following aneurysm surgery are rare. Here, we report the case of a patient who developed left hemichorea following surgical clipping of a right internal carotid artery bifurcation aneurysm. The movement disorder resulted from an acute infarct involving the head of the caudate nucleus. The patient responded well to symptomatic treatment, with complete resolution of chorea. The occurrence of new-onset involuntary movements following aneurysm surgery should raise the suspicion of infarcts involving basal ganglia structures.
Hereditary spastic paraplegia-like presentation with the unique “ear of lynx” sign in dyskeratosis congenita
Authors: Cherian Ajith , Jose K Jithu , RM Aswin , S Anju , KP Divya 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Dyskeratosis congenita (DC) is a rare inherited syndrome with an incidence of less than one in a million. It is characterized by reticular skin pigmentation, dystrophic nails, oral leukoplakia, and later bone marrow failure. Neurological manifestations in DC are rare, and our patient who fulfilled criteria for DC had a hereditary spastic paraplegia-like presentation with the unique “ear of lynx” sign on brain magnetic resonance imaging; this is an unreported phenotype to date. Callosal thinning, cerebellar atrophy, enlarged diploic marrow space of the skull bones, and spine magnetic resonance imaging showing high signals on T1- and T2-weighted images affecting the vertebrae, suggesting pathological fatty replacement of the bone marrow, are other diagnostic clues. DC is a disease caused by defective telomere maintenance. Affected patients have premature telomere shortening and subsequent replicative senescence, leading to premature stem cell exhaustion and bone marrow failure. Awareness is the key to identify such unique presentations of rare diseases as patients require follow-up due to their predisposition to cancer.
Comparison of pupil size in patients of migraine with photophobia versus normal subjects and correlation of the pupil size to severity of headache
Authors: Moharana Ruby , Bhandari Kiran B 
Published: December 2023

Purpose:
To compare the pupil size of patients having migraine with photophobia versus normal subjects and to correlate the pupil size to the severity of headache.

Methods:
This was a prospective case–control study. One hundred eyes of 50 patients who had migraine with photophobia were compared with same number of control subjects who had no history of headache. Pupil size was measured using the IOL Master 700 in all cases. Severity of headache was evaluated by the Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS) test questionnaire, and MIDAS grades from 1 to 4 ranging from minimal disability to severe disability were obtained in all cases. The pupil sizes in all grades were compared.

Results:
The mean pupil size was 4.89 ± 0.9 mm (95% confidence interval [CI]) in patients of migraine with photophobia compared to 3.8 ± 0.49 mm (95% CI) in normal subjects, with a P value of <0.0001, which was statistically significant. Among the 50 patients with migraine, according to MIDAS grades, 20 had Grade 4 or severe disability, 15 had Grade 3 or moderate disability, 10 had Grade 2 or mild disability, and five had Grade 1 or minimal disability. Pupil size in Grade 4 category was the largest with a mean value of 5.6 ± 0.79 mm (95% CI).

Conclusion:
The pupil size in patients of migraine with photophobia is larger than in normal subjects and could be a trigger for the migraine attacks. The larger the pupil size, the more severe is the migraine disability.

Published: December 2023

Context:
Evaluation of visual quality in soft and rigid gas-permeable contact lens wearers, with an emphasis on twilight vision.

Purpose:
To assess the visual acuity and visual performance at dusk before and after soft and rigid gas-permeable contact lens (CL) correction in healthy subjects.

Settings and Design:
This prospective study was conducted in a tertiary eye-care center.

Methods:
Sixty eyes corrected with soft contact lenses (SCLs) and 30 eyes with rigid gas-permeable contact lenses (RGPCLs) were enrolled in this study. Patients underwent corrected distance visual acuity with spectacles (CDVAs), corrected distance visual acuity with contact lenses (CDVAcl), and twilight vision (TV) testing (Vista Vision Far-Pola, DMD MedTech charts). Parameters were evaluated before and after the CL fitting and repeated 3 months after the baseline visit.

Statistical Analysis Used:
MedCalc for Windows, version 11.4 (MedCalc Software, Ostend, Belgium).

Results:
Rigid gas-permeable CL wear showed significant improvement in CDVAcl compared to wearing spectacles on both visits (P = 0.0039 and P = 0.0003, respectively). TV with CLs was significantly better in both groups compared to the TV with spectacles at the baseline visit (P = 0.0011 in SCL group; P = 0.0001 in RGPCL group), and at the follow-up visit, this significance was proven for the RGPCL group (P = 0.001). Also, spectacle TV showed a significant improvement on the follow-up visit (P = 0.0022 in SCL group; P = 0.0269 in RGPCL group).

Conclusion:
Contact lens wear improves visual performance compared to spectacles. TV results showed superiority of CLs compared to the spectacles, without a statistical difference regarding the CL type.

Authors: Mood Narayan , Darivemula Surendra Babu , Shravani Sreeram , Kavyasri Kotte , Kiran J Ravi 
Published: December 2023

Background:
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a novel infectious disease caused by SARS CoV-2 that emerged in Wuhan, China, and has rapidly spread worldwide. The mortality rate of critically ill COVID-19 patients is high. The objective of the study was to assess the COVID-19 disease severity and outcome among COVID-19 positive patients admitted before and after vaccination.

Methodology:
A prospective observational study conducted among all patients aged more than 18 years were included in the study. The patients who were positive before vaccination and received at least one dose of vaccine and positive after receiving two doses of vaccination included in the study. Disease severity was assessed in terms of high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) score, intensive care unit (ICU) admission, SpO2 maintained, oxygen, plasma exchange, steroids received and on mechanical ventilation, and outcome was assessed on prognosis and stabilized/discharged to home.

Results:
A total of 172 were participated in the study with 101 (58.7%) males and 71 (41.3) females, respectively. Amongst them, 92 were affected before vaccination and 80 were affected before vaccination. The patients admitted in the ICU were 56 (32.6%) and 116 (67.4%) were not admitted in the ICU; among the patient admitted in ICU 42 (45.7%) before vaccination, and 14 (17.5%) were after vaccination, and difference was statistically significant with P- value <0.001. SPO2, steroids given, plasma exchange, oxygen >10 litres given and mechanical ventilation were positively associated with the vaccine received and disease severity with P- value <0.05.

Conclusion:
The severe COVID-19 had the worst outcome in the unvaccinated patients in terms of severity. Most partially vaccinated patients got infected before developing immunity; receiving at least one vaccination dose significantly reduced illness severity.
