Authors: Menéndez Tarira Nicole Alejandra , Chero Alvarado Víctor Egbert 
Published: January 2024

Environmental impact is affected due to human-generated activities, products and services. Companies are expected to comply with environmental standards and show their commitment to reducing the environmental impact of their daily activities. This can be a bit complicated, however, it is an opportunity for companies to demonstrate their environmental responsibility, stand out from their competition and demonstrate commitment to their current and potential customers. The ISO 14001:2015 standard details the requirements that an organization can implement for an environmental management system and thus increase its environmental performance, this has allowed public and private companies worldwide to join the certification considering environmental management as a priority, according to data obtained in the year 2022 the largest number of certifications were obtained in the construction and automotive sectors. Although Ecuador is currently in seventh place in relation to other South American countries, it has shown a remarkable growth in the number of companies certified in ISO 14001:2015 over the last 16 years.
El campo antiderechos español frente a la Ley de Eutanasia. Repertorio movilizacional y trabajo identitario (2018-21)
Authors: García Martín Joseba , Perugorría Ignacia 
Published: January 2024

El artículo estudia la movilización del campo de organizaciones laicas de inspiración católica e ideología neoconservadora (OLIC-N) contra la Ley de Eutanasia española. A pesar de que la eutanasia constituye el nuevo frente de disputa moral, cultural y político neoconservador, dicha movilización permanece largamente inexplorada; nuestro estudio pretende remediar esta falta. Para ello, se concentra en el repertorio movilizacional y el trabajo identitario realizado por las OLIC-N, analizándolos desde una perspectiva relacional e histórico-comparativa. Así, estudiamos la estructura y dinámicas de red del campo de las OLIC-N y su campo ampliado antiderechos, protagonizado por organizaciones religiosas y partidos políticos conservadores; así como los vínculos entre estas organizaciones, sus narrativas públicas y prácticas sociosimbólicas. Contemplamos, además, el impacto de una estructura de oportunidad política marcada por el Gobierno de coalición progresista PSOE-Unidas Podemos, la crisis sociosanitaria desencadenada por el COVID-19 y la llegada del partido de extrema derecha VOX al Congreso.
Prevalence of Mood and Anxiety Disorders in Canadians with Cardiovascular Disease: A Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Sohier Léonie , Dallaire-Habel Samuele , Turcotte Stéphane , Foldes-Busque Guillaume 
Published: January 2024

Abstract

Context:
Mood and anxiety disorders appear to be overrepresented in adults with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). These disorders have been associated with poorer biopsychosocial outcomes in this population. Mood and anxiety disorders often co-occur, but the prevalence of this comorbidity and their potential additive effects in patients with CVD remain understudied.

Aims:
This study aimed to estimate the prevalence and co-occurrence rates of mood and anxiety disorders in the general adult population living with CVD. Associations between mood and anxiety disorder status and sociodemographic characteristics, somatic comorbidities, perceived mental health, and health-care service use were also investigated.

Methods:
A total of 6,792 adults aged 25 years or older and living with CVD were selected from the 2015–2016 Canadian Community Health Survey. Mood and anxiety disorders were identified based on self-report diagnoses made by a qualified health professional. All other variables were assessed using questionnaires.

Results:
An estimated 17.7% of the studied population reported having been diagnosed with a mood or anxiety disorder. More precisely, 6.6% reported a mood disorder, 5.5% reported an anxiety disorder, and an additional 5.6% reported both. The presence of mood or anxiety disorders was associated with poorer perceived mental health and higher health-care service use, and these associations were stronger when mood and anxiety co-occurred.

Conclusions:
Approximately one in six adults with CVD reported suffering from mood or anxiety disorders, and a third of them presented both conditions. This study also suggests that co-occurring anxiety and mood disorders lead to greater vulnerability than either disorder in adults with CVD.

Authors: Nandi Ayandip , Talukdar Manas , Bhattacharya Saikat , Sen Susruta , Biswas Supratik , Roy Kuntal 
Published: January 2024

ABSTRACT

Introduction:
Beta thalassemia and hemoglobin (HbE)-related hemoglobinopathies are common public health problems in developing countries. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is currently the diagnostic test of choice for carrier detection, but it is costly. Hence, some initial screening and complementary tests are required, which can be affordable.

Aims:
To find out the distribution of different red blood cell (RBC) indices in beta thalassemia trait (BTT) and HbE-related hemoglobinopathies and to determine their significance as screening tests to distinguish between these hemoglobinopathies.

Study Settings and Design:
This observational cross-sectional study has been carried out at an NABL (National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories)-accredited Laboratory of Eastern India with approval from the concerned Institutional Ethics Committee from January 2021 to March 2021.

Methods and Material:
HPLC tests and complete hemograms were performed on 2247 ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid anti-coagulated blood samples over 3 months. Patients <1 year of age or having a history of blood transfusion within the past 06 months were excluded.

Statistical Analysis:
One-way analysis of variance along with Bonferroni post-hoc test was performed to find out significant differences of means of mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), hemoglobin%, red blood cell (RBC) count, and red cell distribution width (RDW-CV) among concerned hemoglobinopathies.

Results:
The results show a significant difference of total RBC count, RDW, MCV, MCH, and MCHC between BTT and E-trait. No significant difference of mean was found between HbE homozygous and E-beta. E-trait differs from both HbE homozygous and E-beta significantly in three parameters, namely, RDW, MCV and MCH. A value of MCV at ≤73.8 fl and MCH at ≤21.9 pg may be a clue of diagnosis for BTT rather than E-trait with >90% sensitivity and >80% specificity.

Conclusion:
RBC indices vary significantly between BTT and other HbE-related hemoglobinopathies. They can specially be utilized to differentiate BTT and E-trait as supportive tests in addition to the gold standard test of HPLC.
Clinicopathologic profile of intra-abdominal follicular dendritic cell sarcoma: A study of three cases with a literature review
Authors: Yan Jianhong , Wu Qi , Hu Yuchang , Nai Ting 
Published: January 2024

ABSTRACT
Follicular dendritic cell sarcoma (FDCS) is a rare tumor, which mainly originates from follicular dendritic cells (FDCs) in the lymph nodes. Sometimes FDCS can arise from outside the lymph nodes. FDCS is an extremely rare malignant tumor in intraperitoneal or retroperitoneal tissue. We gathered the detailed clinical data of three patients diagnosed with FDCS in the abdomen. The clinical observations and histopathologic and immunohistochemical features of FDCS were analyzed. The patients included two men and one woman aged 55 ~ 61 years old. The mesentery of the small intestine and colon was involved in case 1, spleen in case 2, and retroperitoneal tissues in case 3. Two patients presented with abdominal masses, and one presented with no obvious symptoms. Histology showed ovoid to spindle neoplastic cells arranged in fascicles and storiforms with inflammatory infiltrate as well as whorled patterns in some areas. Immunohistochemical staining was positive for CD21, CD23, CD35, and SSTR2. FDCS exhibits no characteristic clinical manifestations. Morphologically, FDCS can have overlapping features with many other entities, leading to misdiagnosis. The use of histopathology supplemented with FDC markers, such as CD21, CD23, and CD35, is useful for diagnosis and differential diagnosis.
Bilateral adrenal cryptococcosis causing adrenal insufficiency in an immunocompetent patient
Authors: Kaur Ramneek , Mittal Naveen , Soni Ankita , Kaur Harpreet 
Published: January 2024

ABSTRACT
Cryptococcosis usually occurs in immunocompromised patients and presents as meningitis and lung disease. Adrenal gland involvement may be observed, yet primary adrenal insufficiency by cryptococcal infection is infrequent. We present a case of a middle-aged immunocompetent man with primary adrenal insufficiency and bilateral adrenal lesions, splenomegaly, and miliary mottling in the lungs on imaging. No evidence of meningitis was witnessed. The clinico-radiological findings led toward the differential diagnosis of disseminated tuberculosis or fungal infection. Detection of cryptococcus organism was done on fine-needle aspiration cytology and biopsy on periodic acid-Schiff stain and Gomori`s methenamine silver stain. Thus, it is recommended to keep the possibility of cryptococcosis in mind while dealing with instances that have a tuberculosis-like clinico-radiological presentation. The detection of the causal organism on Fine needle aspiration (FNA)/biopsy examination may be useful in confirming the diagnosis and determining the appropriate medical treatment.

Published: January 2024

ABSTRACT
Adult rhabdomyoma is an uncommon and benign striated muscle tumor consisting of striated muscular tissue. This neoplasm usually originates from cardiac muscle, and extracardiac rhabdomyoma is extremely rare. Herein, we report a case of adult rhabdomyoma in the lung, which has only been reported once in the 1970s. A 62-year-old woman presented to our hospital with a solid nodule on the right upper lobe. We performed tumor resection surgery and confirmed the diagnosis of adult rhabdomyoma by postoperative pathological examination. Herein, we report the clinical and pathologic characteristics of pulmonary adult rhabdomyoma (PAR) and review the literature about adult rhabdomyoma.
Clinico-hematological and immunophenotypic profile of acute leukemia of ambiguous lineage: A four year experience from a single tertiary care centre of West India
Authors: Rai Varnika , Brahmbhatt Beena , Saha Anurag , Thayakaran Immanuel P. 
Published: January 2024

ABSTRACT

Background:
Acute leukemia of ambiguous lineage (ALAL) is a heterogeneous group of rare leukemias that lacks definite evidence of differentiation along one lineage. It includes acute undifferentiated leukemia and mixed-phenotype acute Leukaemia (MPAL).

Aims:
The present study highlighted the clinicohematological and immunophenotypic profile of ALAL cases diagnosed in the tertiary care centre of western India.

Study Design:
Retrospective observational study.

Methods and Materials:
Patients diagnosed with acute leukemia, preferably their bone marrow aspirate samples, were collected in ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid-vial. The immunophenotypic study was done using the Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorting (FACS) Canto Eight color flow cytometer and a broad panel of monoclonal antibodies. The patients were diagnosed for ALAL, based on the World Health Organization (WHO) 2017 classification.

Statistical Analysis Used:
Descriptive statistics with categorical and continuous variables.

Results:
Overall incidence of ALAL was about 2.1%, and singly MPAL and AUL were 1.8%, and 0.3%, in frequency, respectively. The age range was 4 to 57 (median age 21 years), of which 11 (57.9%) were adults and eight were children (42.1%). There was male predominance with Male: Female ratio of 5.3:1. On immunophenotyping, B/myeloid MPAL (42.1%) was the commonest among the ALAL. Translocation t(9;22) was the most common cytogenetic abnormality found mainly in B/myeloid MPAL. Two cases were of chronic myeloid leukemia in a mixed phenotypic blast crisis. Over all prognosis of ALAL was poor.

Conclusion:
ALAL is overall associated with poor prognosis as both their diagnosis and treatment decisions are difficult owing to the lack of optimum treatment data and the rarity of the disease. Hence, A careful diagnosis with the help of immunophenotyping is crucial.
Acute acquired comitant esotropia: Current understanding of its etiological classification and treatment strategies
Authors: Nishikawa Noriko , Sato Miho 
Published: January 2024

Abstract:
Acute acquired comitant esotropia (AACE) is characterized by acute onset of esotropia without limitation of eye movements in children and adults. AACE has been considered relatively rare, and most previous reports were small case series. However, recently, there has been great interest in this disease because of the rapid increase in the number of cases speculated to be related to the use of digital devices. In a growing number of studies, disputes remain regarding its etiology, clinical features, management, and classification. Herein, we review the literature on the history, clinical features, possible etiologic classifications, and treatment strategies for AACE to provide a comprehensive and updated understanding of the disease.
Full-tendon inferior nasal transposition of the lateral rectus muscle for partial third nerve palsy
Authors: Budragchaa Dolgormaa , Liu Chun-Hsiu 
Published: January 2024

Abstract:
Managing third nerve palsy clinically can be challenging because it involves four of the six extraocular muscles. The palsy may be partial or complete, may cause partial or complete ptosis, and may spare or involve the pupil. A 25-year-old female with a history of suprasellar schwannoma had left partial third nerve palsy with 80 prism diopter (PD) exotropia and 20 PD hypertropia. In addition, adduction and infraduction of the left eye were limited. To address this, a lateral rectus (LR) muscle transposition procedure was performed, wherein the muscle was transposed between the inferior rectus muscle and the globe, passing behind the inferior oblique muscle and extending to the lower margin of the medial rectus (MR) muscle. Postoperatively, this procedure corrected the exotropia of 50–60 PD and hypertropia of 20 PD without inducing cyclotropia. Full-tendon transposition of the LR to the MR is a simple and effective procedure for managing partial third nerve palsy.

Published: January 2024

Abstrak: Mapalus adalah sebuah bentuk kebudayaan yang direalisasikan melaui kegiatan saling membantu yang dilakukan suatu kelompok masyarakat. Kegiatan mapalus ­­umumnya memiliki tujuan untuk saling membantu satu sama lain dalam anggota mapalus, baik membantu dalam suasana senang (ucapan syukur atas hasil bumi) maupun dalam suasana duka (meninggal dunia). Adapun tujuan pengabdian yang penulis lakukan terkait dengan budaya mapalus, yaitu agar masyarakat suku Minahasa akan tetap peduli dan melestarikan budaya tersebut sebagai salah satu kearifan lokal masyarakat Minahasa. Adapun metode yang dilakukan penulis yakni sosialisasi dan penyuluhan dalam suatu kegiatan rukun sosial kemasyarakatan. Mitranya yaitu kelompok masyarakat di satu kelurahan yang diwakili oleh 35 orang kepala keluarga sebagai anggota dari rukun sosial kemasyarakatan dimaksud. Evaluasi dilakukan lewat satu kegiatan yang disebut dengan kumawus. Hasilnya, hanya setengah dari anggota rukun yang ikut melaksanakan mapalus dalam kegiatan kumawus tersebut, sehingga penulis berupaya untuk merevitalisasi budaya tersebut selama dua tahun, sampai pada akhirnya semua anggota terlibat dalam kegiatan kumawus. Kegiatan pengabdian ini berdampak positif bagi peningkatan nilai ekonomis keluarga.Kata Kunci: mapalus; budaya; kearifan lokal; masyarakat Minahasa.Abstract: Mapalus is a form of culture that is realized through mutual assistance activities carried out by a community group. Mapalus activities generally have the aim of helping each other among Mapalus members, both in a happy atmosphere (giving thanks for the produce of the earth) and in an atmosphere of sorrow (passing away). The purpose of the dedication that the author is doing is related to Mapalus culture, namely that the Minahasa people will continue to care for and preserve this culture as one of the local wisdoms of the Minahasa people. The method used by the author is socialization and counseling, which are two of the pillars of society. The partners are community groups in one kelurahan, which are represented by 35 heads of households as members of the intended social group. Evaluation is carried out through an activity called kumawus. As a result, only half of the rukun members participate in carrying out Mapalus in the kumawus activities, so the authors try to revitalize the culture for two years until, in the end, all members are involved in kumawus activities. This service activity has a positive impact on increasing the economic value of the family.Keywords: mapalus; culture; local wisdom; the Minahasa people
