Introduction. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the first experience was gained in managing patients with sarcoidosis in the face of a dangerous viral infection, a combination of two diseases and vaccination against COVID-19. Publications on this issue remain ambiguous, which made it relevant to assess the management of patients with sarcoidosis during a pandemic and the features of vaccination of these patients.Aim. To assess the condition of patients with sarcoidosis who turned to a pulmonologist during the pandemic, to compare the parameters of patients with sarcoidosis who had and did not have COVID-19, with mild and severe course, as well as to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of vaccination.Materials and methods. The study was a retrospective, observational, non-interventional study. We included 299 patients who visited a pulmonologist in 176 (58.9%) of whom developed COVID-19 and 123 (41.1%) did not have a viral disease. Information on survivors of COVID-19 was collected using the COVIZ application. Data summarization and statistical processing were carried out using the SPPS-18 program (IBM) p < 0.05 values were considered statistically significant.Research results. Comparison of data of patients with sarcoidosis who fell ill and did not become ill with COVID-19 during the pandemic period showed that those who fell ill with this viral infection were significantly younger, more often had extrapulmonary manifestations of sarcoidosis. Patients did not differ in the radiation stage of sarcoidosis, the frequency of Löfgren’s syndrome, and the frequency of familial cases of granulomatosis. The use of methotrexate was accompanied by a higher incidence of COVID-19, the probability of getting sick was more than 3 times higher (OR = 3.39; 95% CI 1.12–10.28). Among those who received GCS (n = 49), those who received a dose of 10 mg prednisolone equivalent and above (OR = 12.056; CI95% 2.12–68.5) were more likely to develop COVID-19. The risk of developing COVID-19 in those who were not vaccinated was significantly higher than in those who received the vaccine after a viral illness (OR = 2.50; CI95% 1.75–3.58). One case of death is presented.Conclusion. A retrospective analysis of cases of sarcoidosis during the COVID-19 pandemic indicated a favorable course of both diseases when combined. Negative prognostic factors were the use of immunosuppressive therapy for sarcoidosis and severe comorbidities of the cardiovascular system. Vaccination against COVID-19 was effective and safe in patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis.

Introduction. In the world there is an increase in the proportion of elder people in the demographic group of society. The problems of treatment and diagnosis of diseases associated with age due to this are considered more significant in clinical practice. Among of the most common age-related diseases: cognitive impairment, hearing loss and depression. Researchers have found that hearing loss is the most significant modifiable risk factor for cognitive impairment. Also, hearing impairment, according to several experts, is the cause of depression. Cochlear implantation is one of the main methods of rehabilitation in case of profound impairment of auditory function in elder people.Aim. Evaluate the rehabilitation potential of cochlear implantation on cognitive function in elder people.Materials and methods. A prospective study, were selected 35 patients (15 men, 20 women), candidates for cochlear implantation. Average age at the start of the study was 65 ± 9 years. Cognitive function was assessed using the RBANS-H, HI-MoCA, sound quality assessment using the HISQUI19, depression and anxiety level assessment using the HADS. Studies were conducted before surgery, 6 and 12 months after the activation of the cochlear implant.Results. There was an increase in cognitive function, assessed by the RBANS and HI-MoCA. In addition, the patients showed a decrease in the levels of depression and anxiety, assessed by the HADS test.Conclusions. Cochlear implantation, as a method of rehabilitation of deep hearing impairment in elder people, has shown high efficiency on cognitive function, and decrease of depression and anxiety in the postoperative period.

Introduction. Sudden sensorineural hearing loss is manifested by sudden or rapid hearing loss without obvious disturbances in the outer and middle ear. Often the cause of this condition is not established. At the moment, various methods are used in the treatment, including corticosteroids, which are most often used as primary therapy. Recent studies demonstrate the effectiveness of topical steroid administration.Aim. Assess the effectiveness and safety of various methods of topical and standard systemic use dexamethasone in the treatment of patients with acute sensorineural hearing loss, as well as to determine the optimal timing of therapy.Materials and methods. 61 patients with this disease were treated in the study. 20 of them received dexamethasone transtubarly, 21 – transtympanic, and 20 – systemically. Audiological examination was performed on all patients before treatment, at discharge, a month and six months after discharge. All participants regularly assessed their discomfort on a 10-point scale. Results. The results of treatment demonstrated the effectiveness of both systemic and local steroid therapy in patients with sensorineural hearing loss; however, with topical use of the drug, the proportion of patients with complete hearing restoration was greater. Transtympanic introduction of steroids after radiowave myringotomy turned out to be the most comfortable for patients the level of discomfort was 1.5 points out of 10, while against the background of transtubal administration of the drug and systemic treatment it was 4.5 and 2.3 points, respectively.Conclusions. The method of transtympanic administration of corticosteroids in patients with acute sensorineural hearing loss after radiowave myringotomy is a reliable and effective method of drug delivery to the windows of the labyrinth. This approach allows you to visually control the process of introducing the medication into the tympanic cavity. Transtympanic and transtubal methods of steroid administration are comparable in effectiveness to classical systemic steroid therapy in the treatment of patients with acute sensorineural hearing loss.

Introduction. Cystic fibrosis is a hereditary disease characterized by the defeat of all exocrine glands, vital organs and systems. Currently, the life expectancy of patients with cystic fibrosis is increasing due to the development of new therapies.Goal. Analysis of the results of a comprehensive examination of patients with cystic fibrosis under the supervision of a pulmonologist of Republican Clinical Hospital (RCH) of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Tatarstan.Materials and methods. The analysis of the database of patients with cystic fibrosis, older than 18 years, registered in the Regional Center of cystic fibrosis of the Republic of Tatarstan (RT).Results. As of April 2023, 47 patients over the age of 18 with a diagnosis of cystic fibrosis were registered in the RCH of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Tatarstan. The diagnosis was made on the basis of a positive sweat sample and/or a genetic study. The age of patients is from 18 to 39 years (26.1 ± 1.1 years). Women – 49%, men – 51%. Median body weight – 51.5 kg, height – 165 cm, BMI – 18.05 kg/m2. 25 patients (53.2%) had a BMI of less than 18.5 kg/m2. Among patients in RT, the most common mutation is F508del. When assessing the microbiological profile of the respiratory tract, chronic infection was detected in 37 patients (78.7%). Ps. aeruginosa (66.0%) and S.aureus (35.6%) were the most frequently sown. The average FVC indicators were 72.6 ± 4.3% predicted values, the average FEV1 indicators were 61.6 ± 28.1% predicted values.Conclusion. On the territory of the Republic of Tatarstan in patients with cystic fibrosis, the F508del mutation was detected in 30 (66.7%) adult patients, 9 of whom receive targeted therapy elecsacaftor / tezacaftor / ivacaftor+ ivacaftor with a pronounced positive effect. The high incidence of P. aeruginosa infection (66.0%) and a decrease in respiratory function among adult patients indicate a more severe course of cystic fibrosis.
Lumières aux prises avec l’histoire : les impasses du Discours préliminaire de D’Alembert
Authors: Rudy Hiller Daniel 
Published: November 2023

Vers 1750, les philosophes ont commencé à se considérer comme les représentants d’un nouveau pouvoir spirituel destiné à affranchir définitivement la raison du “joug ecclésiastique” et à guider “l’humanité” vers une nouvelle ère de progrès. L’accomplissement de cette mission aurait cependant été dépourvu de tout fondement sans l’élaboration d’une réflexion historique capable de légitimer le rôle que les hommes de lettres avaient commencé à s’arroger. Ainsi, cet article se propose d’explorer pourquoi les Lumières ont été contraintes de se saisir d’une question dont la formulation remonte à la chrétienté médiévale et dont les penseurs du xviiie siècle ont hérité à la manière d’une dette incontournable : quel est le sens de l’histoire comprise comme un tout ? Il s’agit d’aborder cette “hypothèque historique” à travers l’étude de l’un des textes fondamentaux qui a tenté de répondre à cette question par des moyens inédits : le Discours préliminaire de Jean Le Rond d’Alembert, publié en 1751 à la tête du premier volume de l’Encyclopédie. La philosophie de l’histoire que D’Alembert esquisse dans cet écrit met en évidence à la fois les certitudes et les stratégies des Lumières et les tensions qui naissent de leur tentative de fonder une nouvelle conception du processus historique.
Integration of FMEA and TOPSIS for OHS Risk Mitigation Strategy in Lathe Machining Activities : Case Study in PT. SPPA

Published: November 2023

The machining process in PT. SPPA is still carried out conventionally, especially in the idler rebuilding process. There are found work accidents that result in work-related illnesses. In preventing accidents, it is necessary to do risk management efforts. Therefore it is necessary to conduct research by integrating FMEA and TOPSIS for risk management strategies in Occupational Health and Safety (OHS). The FMEA method is used to identify risks and assess the level of risk based on severity, ooccurrence and detection. Furthermore, the TOPSIS method is used to determine the order of priority for improvement to overcome existing risks. The results showed that there were 17 risks in machining activities with a lathe where the risks with the highest RPN value were experiencing pain or muscle cramps when setting up the lathe, experiencing noise during the lathe process, and exposure to chips from the lathe process. Furthermore, each risk is investigated using the 5 Whys method to determine the root causes of the problems, and it was found that the causes of these risks were low-quality work equipment, lack of training, socialization or briefings on OHS, and the high cost of providing adequate PPE. Based on these issues, a priority list of recommendations for improvement is compiled using the TOPSIS method, including routine equipment condition checks, providing SOPs for equipment use, providing appropriate PPE for each job, providing training for employees, allowing adequate rest time, and providing high-quality work equipment.
The Effect of Personalized Communication on Investor Earnings Fixation

Published: November 2023

ABSTRACT
Technology makes it possible for management to personalize communication with individual investors on a broad scale. Building on information processing research, we predict and find that personalized communication prompts investors to process financial information more systematically and rely less on summary measures, such as earnings. Investors receiving more (as opposed to less) personalized communication respond less to management’s myopic decisions that boost short-term performance in their assessments of investment attractiveness, such that they assess a company that increases R&D (at the expense of net income) as more attractive and a company that decreases R&D as less attractive. Further analysis suggests this result is driven by investors with greater experience evaluating financial statements processing the longer-term implications of R&D expenditures for performance more fully when personalization is present. Our paper speaks to investor earnings fixation and myopic behavior from management and provides insights for implementing investor communication strategies.

Authors: Voss Deidree S. , Boyd Melissa V. , Evanson Jessica F. , Bender Jeff B. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To characterize animal-related injuries in veterinary medical center staff at a veterinary medical center.

SAMPLE
706 hospital staff injuries.

METHODS
Deidentified injury reports were submitted to Human Resources from 2008 through 2022. Injury data collected included the injury description, date of injury, occupation, and worker’s compensation claim information. Data were summarized by year, cause of injury, total cost associated with injury, and occupation.

RESULTS
There was an increase in injuries reported in recent years when compared to past years, with the plurality of injuries being bite injuries, specifically occurring on the hand, finger, and wrist area. Bite injuries had a higher average total worker’s compensation cost paid to staff than striking injuries. There were more injuries reported by staff who had less experience working with animals. More injuries occurred during the summer months (June through September). There was not an unusual trend in the reporting of injuries due to COVID-19. Other injuries (eg, needlesticks and falls) were reported from only 2019 to 2022, but constituted a substantial burden for staff.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
These findings can help stakeholders at teaching hospitals and veterinary clinics to take steps toward creating a safer workplace environment for employees. It is important to identify work hazards and provide proper training and prevention methods to reduce the risk of injuries, especially among less experienced employees. Proper prevention methods will help reduce worker’s compensation costs for the teaching hospital and reduce the number of workdays missed by staff.
Ectopic adrenal tissue in a cat that underwent an ovariohysterectomy
Authors: Knight Kristen , Vogel Helena , Bischoff Matthew , Bajwa Karmenleen 
Published: November 2023

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To describe the use of ultrasound and adrenal function testing to confirm that excised periovarian tissue is normal ectopic adrenal tissue (EAT).

ANIMAL
A 6-month-old female domestic shorthair cat.

CLINICAL PRESENTATION, PROGRESSION, AND PROCEDURES
The cat underwent an ovariohysterectomy procedure, during which abnormal tissue was discovered adjacent to both ovaries. The tissue was removed during the ovariohysterectomy and submitted for histopathology, which was consistent with adrenal gland tissue, initially raising concern for an inadvertent adrenalectomy. Abdominal ultrasound and an adrenal function test were performed that confirmed normal adrenal structure and function; thus, the removed structure was diagnosed as EAT.

TREATMENT AND OUTCOME
The patient continued to recover from the procedure uneventfully at home.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Parovarian nodules are an uncommon finding but when observed and biopsied, may be mistaken for physiologic adrenal tissue on the basis of histopathologic features alone without awareness of their existence and clinical context. The use of abdominal ultrasound and ACTH stimulation test offers an affirmative method of differentiating adrenal gland tissue from EAT.
