Authors: Manippa Valerio , Caffò Alessandro Oronzo , Rivolta Davide 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

Background and Objectives: Associating names with faces is crucial for social interactions and reflects cognitive health. To address the need for reliable tools to assess associative memory, we developed and validated the Italian Face-Name Associative Test (ItFNAT), a tool allows clinicians to monitor cognitive functioning and detect early signs of decline related to aging and neurodegenerative conditions.
Materials and Methods: 101 Italian participants (51 females) aged 18-80 years completed the three parallel versions of the ItFNAT, which assessed immediate recall (IR), delayed free recall (DFR), and delayed recall with cues (TDR). ItFNAT was administered alongside other neuropsychological tests to explore its relationship with memory and attention.
Results: Cronbach’s alpha revealed high reliability across all three versions of the ItFNAT. MANOVA showed no significant differences between the subscores of the three versions. ANCOVA indicated that schooling significantly influenced DFR scores and had a marginal effect on IR scores, while age and sex did not significantly impact scores. Accordingly, specific cut-offs based on schooling were established. The 3 x 12 correlation matrix demonstrated significant correlations between ItFNAT scores and memory and attention test scores.
Discussions: This study introduces the ItFNAT, a test designed to assess cross-modal associative memory. It includes three parallel versions with good internal consistency, and minimal score differences. The subscores—IR, DFR, and TDR—capture various aspects of cognitive functioning, with educational attainment influencing DFR scores. Preliminary cut-offs were established based on schooling, enhancing the test's clinical applicability. Future research should refine its utility for monitoring cognitive changes and neurodegenerative conditions.

Introduction. Up to the early 1940s, when it came to discuss Tuva’s history of the nineteenth century, related conventional opinions would state that the so-called ‘sixty arat-livestock raiders’ were ‘mere thieves, marauders, and robbers’ to have stolen cattle from rich noyon-landlords in Mongolia. And only during the independence period — that of the Tuvan People’s Republic (TPR, 1921–1944) — leaders of the Republic and the Tuvan People’s Revolutionary Party (TPRP) decided to collect and record oral narratives — memories of children and relatives of the Rebellion’s participants to establish the truth about the ‘sixty heroes’, investigate some actual reasons and goals of the event, systematize and complete related sources, documents in Classical Mongolian once housed by the State Archive of the TPR (nowadays — National Archive of the Tyva Republic) and the TPRP Party Archive. Goals. The article attempts an analysis of multi-genre folklore texts dealing with the Aldan-Maadyr Rebellion (1883–1885). To facilitate that, the work shall determine the latter’s genre features and identify key plot/motif patterns, artistic and stylistic aspects. Materials. The study examines writings of historians (Yu. Aranchyn, V. Dulov, Sh. Chimitdorzhiev, V. Kisel), folklorists (G. Kurbatsky, Z. Kyrgys), as well as manuscripts contained in scientific archives of the Tuvan Institute for Humanities and Applied Socioeconomic Research. The analysis involves research methods inherent to the cultural historical approach, since the specified folklore narratives would take shape in contexts of dramatic events experienced by the people, and rest on traditional images and symbols of the local folklore tradition. Results. The study shows the Tuvan people’s historical memories have been carefully preserving the feat of ancestors, their heroic contribution to the national liberation struggle against the tyranny of the Qing-Chinese occupiers and other exploiters. Conclusions. So, in terms of ideological and thematic contents, the examined texts can be identified as historical folklore patterns that shaped in the mid-1880s, and their artistic and stylistic characteristics attest to those were composed within the Tuvan folk-poetic tradition.

ABSTRACT The results of studies investigating the impact of contralateral carotid occlusion (CCO) in patients with carotid stenosis who have undergone endarterectomy or stenting vary in the literature. We aimed to determine which approach is the optimal revascularization strategy for those patients.THE AIM OF STUDY To review the current scientific literature reflecting the outcomes of patients with CCO and to determine whether the presence of CCO plays a prognostic role in perioperative outcomes in patients undergoing carotid revascularization with endarterectomy or stenting.MATERIAL AND METHODS Literature sources from Pubmed and MEDLINE, Scopus and Cochrane information aggregators on this topic published in Russian and English between 2003 and 2023 were selected for analysis. The terms of contralateral carotid occlusion, stenting of the single carotid artery, carotid endarterectomy, endovascular treatment for stenosis of the single carotid artery, surgery of the single carotid artery, carotid and (stent or stenting) and endarterectomy and (contralateral or bilateral) and occlusion were included in the analysis.An observational or randomized study was considered eligible for inclusion only if it met all specified inclusion criteria: (1) carotid revascularization outcomes were compared in patients with and without CCO; (2) quantitative data on clinical outcomes of interest were provided; and (3) the study was published before September 2023. Studies that did not meet any of these criteria were not eligible for inclusion. Common exclusion criteria were carotid revascularization performed concurrently with coronary revascularization, acutely developing stroke, spontaneous carotid dissection or fibromuscular dysplasia.RESULTS 35 literature sources were analyzed. The review article presents the world experience of surgical treatment (carotid endarterectomy and stenting of the internal carotid artery) in patients with haemodynamically significant stenosis and contralateral carotid occlusion. Some papers indicate the advantages of endovascular operations in elderly patients, others carotid endarterectomy. The accumulation of experience in treatment of this category of patients should help either in optimization or in individualization of surgical tactics.CONCLUSION Surgical intervention in patients with haemodynamically significant stenosis of the internal carotid artery and contralateral occlusion should be differentiated and have an individual approach.

Abstract

Introduction
Sulphonamides are some of the most widely used antimicrobial drugs in the treatment of bacterial diseases in pigs. The study was conducted to compare the total exposure of tissue to a group of active substances in a single formulation and evaluate the impact of the volume of distribution, lipophilicity and tissue half-life of sulfadimethoxine, sulphathiazole, sulphamethazine and sulphacetamide in two different veterinary drug formulations – Polisulfalent, which was preparation A, and Polisulfamid, which was preparation B.

Material and Methods
Each tested therapeutic preparation was administered to 15 piglets of the Polish Landrace breed. To assume general exposure expressed as the sum of all observed concentrations of all active substances, semi-log regression analyses were performed for both formulations.

Results
The estimated tissue half-life was 21.19 h for preparation A and 17.36 h for preparation B. The comparison of the semi-log regression parameters shows that formulation B’s Y-intercept and slope values were higher than formulation A’s. The upper-bound CI for the Y-intercept and slope value of formulation B was higher than those of formulation A, at 38.7 and 20.8%, respectively.
The lower-bound CI for the Y-intercept and slope value of formulation B was also higher than those of formulation A, at 20.6 and 42.9%, respectively.

Conclusion
Current observations lead to the conclusion that in late-stage drug elimination, it is not the blood half-life, but rather a drug’s volume of distribution which is key in determining the clearance period, this volume being dependent on the physicochemical characteristics of the drug.

The current study aimed to formulate and evaluate Repaglinide microspheres utilizing the ionotropic gelation process, with sodium alginate, HPMC, and Carbopol as polymers and Cacl2 as a cross-linking agent. Because of its high biocompatibility and lack of toxicity, sodium alginate is a biodegradable natural polymer with considerable promise for therapeutic uses. Repaglinide microspheres offer desirable qualities. The ionotropic gelation approach allows for high medication integration in microspheres without harmful agents that have adverse side effects. The microspheres are tested for percentage yield, entrapment efficiency, micromimetic properties, in-vitro drug release, etc. Extensive in-vitro testing revealed that more than 102% of the medication is released after 11-12 hours; however, in this formulation, drug release is maintained for up to 12 hours. The percentage entrapment efficiency is 102%. The microspheres had a percentage yield of 96%. Using essential equipment, ionotropic gelation can also be carried out under relatively mild situations. Managing numerous manufacturing parameters is critical in producing microspheres with superior sphericity, high yield, and exceptional drug encapsulation.
