Authors: Jabri Amina , Fakhrulddin Zaid , Hameed Evan 
Published: January 2025

AimBackground: Hypertension and diabetes cause most cardiovascular deaths and morbidity, and the coexistence of these disorders requires attention and reasonable care. Studies on drug usage offer valuable insights into healthcare systems, providing an avenue to evaluate and enhance current practices. Diabetic individuals are twice as likely to develop hypertension as non-diabetics of equivalent age. Blood pressure (BP) regulation holds the key to mitigating both micro- and macrovascular complications. Aims: This research aims to comprehensively assess the prescribing practices of anti-hypertensive medications in a sample of Iraqi patients with diabetes. Specifically, exploring medication types and classes, adherence to clinical guidelines for managing hypertension in the context of diabetes, and factors influencing prescribing decisions.Material and methodsMaterials and Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional retrospective study investigates medication usage in an outpatient clinic in Najaf, Iraq, utilizing systematic sampling. A total of 157 prescriptions from hypertensive outpatients aged 18 and above with comorbid diabetes were randomly selected.ResultsResults: In our study, diabetic hypertensive patients were found to be administered antihypertensive medicines. The usage patterns revealed that a substantial proportion relied on CCBs (48.4%), followed by ARBs (34.4%), ACEIs (32.5%) and Diuretics (32.5%). Notably, single-drug therapy with CCB was more common than multiple-drug therapy among diabetic hypertensive patients in this investigation.ConclusionsConclusion: Our findings indicate that CCBs were the most frequently used group of drugs. Diabetes-specific problems are more likely in hypertension patients with diabetes; thus, prompt diagnosis and treatment are needed to decrease macro and micro-vascular consequences.

AimEven though Leydig cell tumor (LCT) represents the most common neoplasia among testicular sex cord–stromal tumors (SCSTs), it is a rare condition, comprising 1%‐2% of all testicular tumors, with a 10% risk of malignancy most commonly located in retroperitoneal lymph nodes. LCTs may demonstrate various clinical manifestations – from asymptomatic intratesticular swelling through nonspecific symptoms such as loss of libido, impotence or infertility, up to feminizing or virilizing syndromes due to hormonal activity of the tumor. This article presents a case of Leydig cell tumor that was associated with azoospermia what have rarely been reported worldwide.Material and methodsdoes not concernCase reportA 27-year-old male presented to the urologist with one-month history of palpable testicular mass. Imaging tests revealed a well demarcated solid focal lesion in the upper pole of the left testicle and semen analysis indicated azoospermia. Due to small testicular lesion, negative serum markers and negative reports for malignancy in MRI imaging, testis-sparing surgery (TSS) was performed. The final histopathological examination revealed a Leydig cells tumor positive for inhibin, calretinin and MelanA. Six month after the surgery spermatogenic function was partially restored what have rarely been reported in scientific papers.SummaryThis case indicates that TSS may provide an effective way of semen quality improvement, although further research is required.

AimThe aim is to substantiate the program for developing leadership skills among managers of police organizations and to test its effectiveness.Material and methodsThe research, which was conducted in 2022-2024, involved 64 mid-level managers of police organizations and 462 officers from police units (departments, divisions) directly subordinated to these managers. To achieve the aim, a set of methods was used: bibliosemantic, diagnostic, analysis and generalization, statistical.ResultsThe program for developing leadership skills among managers of police organizations has been worked out and substantiated. It has been found that well-organized and targeted psychological work with police unit managers allows for changing the indicators of the staff management style towards improving efficiency. An increase in the indicator of a high level of efficiency of the service activities of police unit managers (formation of the category “successful manager”) has been revealed. The positive dynamics convincingly indicate the appropriate mobilization of leadership qualities, even for those managers who do not meet the requirements of management activities and cannot be useful to subordinate staffConclusionsThe authors’ program outlines the organizational and psychological conditions for the effective development of leadership qualities in police managers, namely: creating a personality-oriented developmental environment in training and real interaction with staff; taking measures to identify their advantages and disadvantages, showing respect and care for all members of the team, etc. Moreover, a high level of leadership qualities of managers of police organizations will contribute to strengthening their mental health and improving the efficiency of their professional activity.
„Niebezpieczne związki” − podróż w czasie i przestrzeni
Authors: Helman Alicja 
Published: January 2025

Zdaniem autorki filmy zrealizowane na podstawie powieści Choderlosa de Laclosa są odmienne niż powieść, a także nie podobne do siebie poza powierzchownie pojmowanymi związkami fabularnymi. Dzieje się tak nie tylko za sprawą twórczej zdrady, ale dlatego, że kino wpisało to dzieło w kontekst odmiennych kultur, umieszczając akcję w innych miejscach i okresach historycznych niż te, które proponował oryginał, a wreszcie transkrybując je na potrzeby innego medium. Prócz zmian, które twórcy chcieli wprowadzić, pojawiły się i takie, które wprowadzić musieli, realizując w efekcie kunsztowne wielokulturowe sploty. Autorka bierze pod uwagę głównie uwspółcześnione wersje powieści w reżyserii Rogera Vadima, Josée Dayan i Rogera Kumble’a, a także transkrypcję koreańską (Untold Scandal /reż. E J-Yong, 2003/) oraz film Miloša Formana Valmont, w którym dopatruje się pryzmatu czeskiego spojrzenia. Zdaniem Helman uwspółcześnianie powieści de Laclosa wynikało z intencji dowodzenia, że gry miłosne ludzi nam współczesnych są nie mniej wyrafinowane i perfidne niż u bohaterów powieści. Zmiany wymuszone przez realia dzisiejszych czasów są oczywiście mniej ciekawe niż przesunięcia natury psychologicznej i kulturowej. W konkluzji pojawia się opinia, że tym, co szczególnie eksplorują twórcy filmowi, jest dokonana przez pisarza egzegeza zła i przyczyn, dla których człowiek znajduje w nim upodobanie. Jest to jednak szczególny rodzaj zła – zło seksualne.

BACKGROUND: The concept of frailty suggests the potential reversibility of this syndrome. Research indicated that geriatric rehabilitation programs aimed at maintaining mobility and functional independence reduce the frequency of repeated hospitalizations.AIM: To study the specifics of geriatric status to assess the potential effectiveness of rehabilitation programs in improving mobility and functional independence.MATERIALS AND METHODS: A subgroup analysis was conducted based on the data obtained in the open prospective study «POSTSCRIPTUM» (Protocol of Geriatric Rehabilitation in Patients Aged 60 Years and Older Living in Moscow Boarding Houses or Nursing Homes). The analysis included 465 patients (82% women, mean age 78.6 ± 7.6 years). For the analysis, patients were divided into two groups depending on whether there was an improvement in the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) score of at least 1 point following the rehabilitation program: groups «ΔSPPB ≥ 1» and «ΔSPPB < 1», respectively. A comparative analysis of baseline parameters and the dynamics of comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA)results were performed upon completing the 21-day geriatric rehabilitation programs. Patients with a baseline maximum SPPB score («SPPB = 12», n = 112; 43%) were excluded from the analysis.RESULTS: The «ΔSPPB ≥1» group included 202 (43%) patients, and the «ΔSPPB < 1» group included 263 (57%) patients. After excluding patients with SPPB = 12 from the analysis set, the proportion of patients in the «ΔSPPB ≥1» group was 57.3%. At baseline, the comparison groups did not differ in gender, body mass index, education level, marital status, prevalence of noncommunicable diseases or CGA results. The mean age was 78.7 ± 6.74 years in the «ΔSPPB ≥1» group and 81.2 ± 8.32 years in the «ΔSPPB < 1» group (p < 0.01). Both groups showed positive dynamics in the results of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) test, GDS-15, Insomnia Severity Index, and VAS scales. However, intergroup comparison revealed no differences in these indicators. The groups differed in dynamometry results: in the «ΔSPPB ≥1» group, they improved from 16.7 ± 6 kg to 18.0 ± 6.2 kg between Visits 1 and 2, p < 0.001 (intergroup delta comparison p < 0.001).CONCLUSION: The subgroup analysis results indicate that the effectiveness of rehabilitation depends not only on baseline demographic and clinical characteristics but also on the initial geriatric status as determined by CGA. Comprehensive 21-day geriatric rehabilitation programs tailored to CGA results are effective in improving mobility, muscle strength, psychoemotional state, and sleep quality. However, the rate and magnitude of the effect on various domains may vary among patients with different baseline statuses.

INTRODUCTION. A personalized approach to the rehabilitation of patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) and concomitant musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) is becoming increasingly relevant, especially for older patients. The number of patients with comorbidities is significantly related to age. Older people tend to experience slowly progressive pathological conditions, they gradually develop several diseases, particularly chronic ones, and their ability to compensate and adapt is reduced.OBJECTIVE: To analyze modern methods of cardiac rehabilitation for this group of patients.MATERIALS AND METHODS: Three types of analysis (quantitative, qualitative and structural) were used to conduct the scientometric analysis of a personalized approach in the rehabilitation of patients with CHD and concomitant MSDs.RESULTS: The findings from the indicate that conventional cardiac rehabilitation programs often fail to produce satisfactory results for patients with concomitant conditions. Alternative modalities, such as aquatic exercise, Nordic walking, and personalized resistance training, have been shown to be highly effective and safe. A multidisciplinary approach and tailored exercise prescription are crucial components for successful rehabilitation, particularly in older individuals with age-related concomitant conditions.DISCUSSION: The findings of a comprehensive scientometric analysis, which includes quantitative, qualitative, and structural analysis, support the significance of a personalized approach to rehabilitation for patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) and comorbid musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). However, a limitation of the review is the absence of randomized controlled trials that evaluate the effectiveness of personalized rehabilitation programs based on scientometric analysis for patients with CHD and MSDs. Most studies included in the review had small sample sizes and short follow-up periods.CONCLUSION: Further research is required to explore new rehabilitation options, develop and validate tools for assessing the functional status of comorbid patients, and compare the efficacy of various individualized rehabilitation techniques, taking into consideration the age-related changes and specific characteristics of older individuals (the interaction of several factors such as age, somatic diseases, polypragmasia, social maladaptation).

Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND: The primary goal of rehabilitation after a femoral fracture surgery in patients with osteoporosis is to reduce the risk of disability and mortality, which is highest in the first months after the fracture.AIM: To develop, scientifically justify, and evaluate the effectiveness of virtual reality and mechanotherapy technologies in the rehabilitation of patients with osteoporosis after surgical treatment of femoral fractures.MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study included 98 patients aged 59 to 84 years who had undergone osteosynthesis or hip joint endoprosthetics for osteoporosis-related femoral fractures within 6 to 12 weeks before enrollment.RESULTS: The study results indicate that the new medical rehabilitation program leads to an increase in the total Harris Hip Score (p = 0.034) and maximum hip extension strength (p = 0.041) after 12 days, improved gait speed and biomechanics, with increased right leg stride length after 12 days (p = 0.036) and reduced step width after 60 days (p = 0.22), faster pain syndrome regression, and better physical functioning.CONCLUSION: In patients with osteoporosis who underwent surgical treatment for proximal femoral fractures, the new medical rehabilitation program involving mechanotherapy, virtual reality, and sensor-based treadmill training with biofeedback improves hip joint function recovery compared to standard rehabilitation programs.
The Impact of Lipoprotein (A) on Autoinflammation and its Significance in Cardiogeriatrics
Authors: Korotkova E. V. , Zavyalov A. V. , Kovalenko A. Yu. 
Published: January 2025

Lipoprotein (а) is able to initiate mechanisms of inflammation and create an atherogenic and thrombophilic condition due to its structural features. It is important to acknowledge that there are currently no standardized protocols for the regular monitoring of lipoprotein (а) levels in clinical settings, despite its relevance in assessing cardiovascular risk among older patients. Even in the absence of abnormal lipid profiles, there may still be thickening of the arterial walls and the formation of atherosclerotic plaque. The extent of atherogenicity, or plaque development, is directly linked to plasma levels of lipoprotein (а), which have a genetic basis.This paper aims to review the role of lipoprotein (а) in low-grade inflammation and its pathogenic mechanisms in atherosclerosis, particularly in relation to elevated levels of this lipoprotein. The study will critically analyze the available literature on this topic to understand the potential role of lipoprotein (а) as a risk factor for atherosclerosis.
СИНТАКСИЧЕСКИЕ СВОЙСТВА НЕДОСТАТОЧНОГО ГЛАГОЛА ЖӣWҶ ‘ЛЮБИТЬ’ В ШУГНАНСКОМ ЯЗЫКЕ
Authors: Меленченко М.Г. 
Published: January 2025

«Недостаточный» глагол жӣwҷ ‘любить’ в шугнанском языке имеет только основу Перфекта, но не имеет основ Презенса и Претерита. Вместо них в этих временах используются сложные глаголы со вспомогательными глаголами чӣдоw ‘делать’ и видоw ‘быть’. В статье предпринята попытка описать распределение трёх конструкций: самостоятельного жӣwҷ и двух сложных глаголов с его участием, а также проверить наличие у этого слова именных свойств. Показано, что в самостоятельном употреблении жӣwҷ действительно в большей степени проявляет Перфектные, а не именные свойства, а характер распределения между конструкциями может быть мотивирован сходством жӣwҷ со стативно-перфектными глаголами, также использующими Перфект для обозначения состояния в настоящем времени.
“Defective” verb žīwǰ ‘love’ in Shughni only has the Perfect stem, but lacks Present and Preterite stems. Instead, to express these tenses, Shughni uses complex verbs with auxiliary verbs čīdow ‘do’ and vidow ‘be’. This paper attempts to describe the distribution of three constructions: the independent žīwǰ and the two complex verbs which use it, as well as to test whether this word has nominal properties. It is shown that in independent use žīwǰ actually exhibits more properties of a Perfect verb form than of a nominal, and the distribution between constructions may be motivated by the similarity of žīwǰ to stative verbs, which also use the Perfect form to express the present-tense state.
Étude comparée d’un corpus spécialisé italien-français de textes économiques originaux : mise en place de la perspective didactique dans l’analyse des termes en usage
Authors: Escoubas Benveniste Marie-Pierre , Montermini Fabio 
Published: January 2025

Notre recherche est centrée sur l’étude des noms dans un corpus de presse spécialisée bilingue (environ 260 000 mots), composé de textes originaux traitant de thèmes économiques et financiers en italien et en français. L’approche quantitative et qualitative outillée et manuelle, pilotée par le corpus, vise à faire émerger des convergences et des divergences entre les langues concernant le fonctionnement sémantique des termes utilisés. Les résultats de l’étude linguistique comparée résident dans la sélection d’exemples représentatifs d’une variété de phénomènes qui illustrent la construction du sens spécialisé en contexte. Dans une perspective didactique, nous proposons de représenter au moyen de grilles les phénomènes observables. Deux types d’analyses sont envisagés : au niveau des concordances, qui permettent de repérer termes, marqueurs et relations sémantiques, et de les interpréter ; au niveau global avec le repérage de séries morphologiques comparables et de termes synonymes potentiels.

Authors: Motsepe Tshepo L. , Schmollgruber Shelley 
Published: January 2025

Background: Emergency nurses are at the front line of a health institution and are deemed competent to manage various situations, with disaster being one of them. Preparing for disaster is crucial as it will eliminate delays in providing care in conditions that would be abnormal in the daily running of an emergency department.Aim: To identify emergency nurses’ disaster preparedness competencies in caring for patients during a disaster.Setting: The study was conducted in emergency departments and trauma centres that respond to disasters and mass casualty incidents.Methods: A focused mapping review and synthesis was conducted where, articles published between 2006 and 2022 were searched utilising keywords relating to emergency nurses’ disaster preparedness through the following databases: SCOPUS, Sabinet, EBSCO host, ProQuest, PubMed and Google Scholar. Data were extracted from articles that met the inclusion criteria and placed into an extraction table where themes were developed.Results: Of the 38 articles identified, duplicates were removed and 15 remained after an abstract review and full-text download. The review yielded five themes: communication, preparation and planning, incident management system, safety and security and intervention, the most dominant disaster competencies.Conclusion: Communication, incident management, safety and security, preparedness and planning are the most identified integral domains within other identified domains. Integrating these aspects in nurses’ continuous training and curricula is recommended to emphasise and enhance disaster preparedness and management knowledge.Contribution: This review has emphasised emergency nurses’ disaster preparedness domains, enhancing disaster preparedness and management knowledge and further influencing education and training for undergraduate and postgraduate nursing students.
