Published: April 2023

BackgroundThe aim of the study was to assess gender differences in the productivity, impact, collaboration pattern and author position of dentistry and oral sciences researchers in Nigeria.MethodsWe examined the Web of Science (WoS) publication records of dentistry and oral sciences researchers to assess gender differences in productivity, impact, collaboration and authorship pattern (first authorship, last authorship and corresponding author). The analysis included the number of publications in journals ranked based on their quartile rating amongst the journals in the subject area (Q1–Q4). Chi square was used to make gender comparisons. Significance was set at &gt;5%.Results413 unique authors published 1,222 articles on dentistry and oral sciences between 2012 and 2021. The number of WoS documents per female author was significantly higher than that per male author (3.7 vs. 2.6, p = 0.03). A non-significantly higher percentage of females authored papers in Q2 and Q3 journals and a higher percentage of males authored papers in Q4 journals. The number of citations per female author (25.0 vs. 14.9, p = 0.04) and the percentage of females listed as first authors (26.6% vs. 20.5%, p = 0.048) were statistically greater than men. The percentage of males listed as last authors was statistically greater than females (23.6% vs. 17.7%, p = 0.04). The correlation between the percentage of papers with researchers listed as first authors and that listed as last authors was not significant for males (p = 0.06) but was significant for females (p = 0.002). A non-significantly greater percentage of females were listed as corresponding authors (26.4% vs. 20.6%) and males were listed as international (27.4% vs. 25.1%) and domestic collaborators (46.8% vs. 44.7%). Also, there was no statistically significant gender difference in the proportion of articles published in open access journals (52.5% vs. 52.0%).ConclusionThough there were significant gender differences in the productivity, impact, and collaboration profile of dentistry and oral sciences researchers in Nigeria, the higher female research productivity and impact may be driven by cultural gender nuances that needs to be explored further.

Published: April 2023

IntroductionCatheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) is a common complication among patients with urinary catheters and is often treated with antibiotics. With increasing rates of antibiotic resistance, it is necessary to explore alternative treatment options for CAUTIs. The aims of this study were 1) to assess the efficacy and treatment satisfaction of bladder irrigation (BI) with tap water to prevent and treat CAUTIs, 2) and to evaluate the current use of BI for CAUTIs among Dutch clinicians.MethodsThe first part of this study consisted of a cross-sectional study among patients with intermittent or indwelling catheters who performed BI with tap water between March 2020 and May 2021. Efficacy, treatment satisfaction, and Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I) were assessed using questionnaires. Outcomes were compared between neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) and non-NLUTD patients. Factors associated with overall treatment satisfaction were determined using logistic regression analysis. Second, a nationwide survey of Dutch clinicians was conducted to evaluate the current use of BI for CAUTIs.ResultsA total of 99 patients who were performing BI for at least three months were included. The median age was 61.9 years, 41.4% had NLUTD, and 72.2% performed BI &gt;1 year. The majority of both NLUTD (65.9%) and non-NLUTD patients (68.4%) were (very) satisfied with BI. Women had higher odds of reporting higher satisfaction and each additional CAUTI decreased the odds. Most NLUTD (85.4%) and non-NLUTD (65.5%) patients reported an improvement on the PGI-I with a difference in favour of NLUTD patients (p=0.002). In addition, 40.4% of the patients had no CAUTI, and 59.6% reported 1.39 (SD 2.06) CAUTIs. Only half of these self-reported CAUTIs were treated with antibiotics. In addition, 33 (58.9%) clinicians used BI for CAUTIs, of which ten used tap water as irrigation agent.DiscussionThis study provides first evidence supporting the efficacy of BI with tap water in the treatment of CAUTIs and reducing the use of antibiotics. Patients are overall satisfied and experience improvement in their condition with BI. In addition, the majority of the surveyed Dutch clinicians use BI for CAUTIs. However, irrigation with tap water is still not widely used.

Published: April 2023

BackgroundLiver resection (LR) is considered the mainstay treatment for eligible patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and provides a 5-year overall survival (OS) of 60%–80%. However, the recurrence rate within five years after LR remains high, ranging from 40% to 70%. Recurrence in gallbladder after liver resection is extremely rare. Here, we present a case of isolated recurrence in gallbladder after curative resection of HCC and review the relevant literature. No similar cases have been reported before.Case presentationA 55-year-old male patient was diagnosed with HCC in 2009 and subsequently underwent a right posterior sectionectomy of the liver. In 2015, the patient underwent liver tumor radiofrequency ablation and three transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) procedures in succession for HCC recurrence. In 2019, a gallbladder lesion was detected by computed tomography (CT) without perceivable intrahepatic focus. We performed an en bloc resection of the gallbladder and hepatic segment IVb. The pathological biopsy suggested that the gallbladder tumor was moderately differentiated HCC. The patient survived more than 3 years in good condition, and there were no signs of tumor recurrence.ConclusionsIn patients with isolated gallbladder metastasis, if the lesion can be resected en bloc without remnants, surgery should be the preferred option. Both postoperative molecularly targeted drugs and immunotherapy are expected to improve the long-term prognosis.

ObjectiveTo discuss the possibility of individualizing the para-tumor resection range (PRR) in cervical cancer patients based on three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction.MethodsWe retrospectively included 374 cervical cancer patients who underwent abdominal radical hysterectomy. Preoperative computerized tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data sets were collected to get 3D models. Postoperative specimens were measured to evaluate surgical scope. Oncological outcomes of patients with different depths of stromal invasion and PRR were compared.ResultsA PRR of 32.35 mm was found to be the cut-off point. For the 171 patients with stromal invasion &lt;1/2 depth, patients with a PRR over 32.35 mm had a lower risk of death and higher 5-year overall survival (OS) than that in the ≤32.35 mm group (HR = 0.110, 95% CI: 0.012–0.988, P = 0.046; OS: 98.8% vs. 86.8%, P = 0.012). No significant differences were found in 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) between the two groups (92.2% vs. 84.4%, P = 0.115). For the 178 cases with stromal invasion ≥1/2 depth, no significant differences were found in 5-year OS and DFS between groups (≤32.35 mm group vs. &gt;32.35 mm group, OS: 71.0% vs. 83.0%, P = 0.504; DFS: 65.7% vs. 80.4%, P = 0.305).ConclusionIn patients with stromal invasion &lt;1/2 depth, the PRR should reach 32.35 mm to get more survival benefit and in patients with stromal invasion ≥1/2 depth, the PRR should reach 32.35 mm at least to avoid worse prognosis. Cervical cancer patients with different depths of stromal invasion may receive tailoring resection of the cardinal ligament.

ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to compare the occurrence of post-operative complications and survival to discharge in horses with ileal impactions resolved by manual decompression compared with jejunal enterotomy.AnimalsA total of 121 client-owned horses undergoing surgical correction of an ileal impaction at three teaching hospitals.Materials and methodsData from the medical records of horses undergoing surgical correction of an ileal impaction was retrospectively collected. Post-operative complications, survival to discharge, or post-operative reflux present were evaluated as dependent variables and pre-operative PCV, surgery duration, pre-operative reflux, and type of surgery were evaluated as independent variables. Type of surgery was divided into manual decompression (n = 88) and jejunal enterotomy (n = 33).ResultsThere were no significant differences in development of minor complications, development of major complications, presence of post-operative reflux, amount of post-operative reflux, and survival to discharge between horses that were treated with manual decompression and those treated with distal jejunal enterotomy. Pre-operative PCV and surgery duration were significant predictors of survival to discharge.Conclusions and clinical relevanceThis study showed that there are no significant differences in post-operative complications and survival to discharge in horses undergoing distal jejunal enterotomy versus manual decompression for correction of ileal impaction. Pre-operative PCV and duration of surgery were found to be the only predictive factors of survival to discharge. Based on these findings, distal jejunal enterotomy should be considered earlier in horses with moderate to severe ileal impactions identified at surgery.

Published: April 2023

Розглянуто питання побудови межі області стійкості (МОС) неперервних лінійних систем автоматичного керування (САК) у площині параметрів коефіцієнтів характеристичного рівняння та показників якості перехідного процесу (ступеня стійкості η та ступеня коливності μ) методом D-розбиття. Представлено конкретні вирази коефіцієнтів зміщених характеристичних рівнянь для ступеня стійкості η та ступеня колив­ності μ. Показано, що показники якості нелінійно входять у коефіцієнти зміщених рівнянь, тому побудова МОС класичним методом D-роз­биття є проблемою. Розглянуто приклад побудови МОС у площині параметра системи та ступеня стійкості η. МОС отримано за допомогою раніше запропонованої методики побудови області стійкості в площині двох параметрів, один з яких нелінійно входить у рівняння системи. При цьому виключаються побудова всієї кривої D-роз­биття та особливих прямих і використання штриховки по Неймарку, а також забезпечується машинна реалізація МОС. Отримане сімейство МОС у площині параметра та при різних значеннях іншого параметра коефіцієнтів зміщеного характеристичного рівняння дозволяє оцінити, а для значень параметрів на сімействі МОС визначити ступінь стійкості η.
Paradigm of nonstochastic approach to system identification
Authors: Gubarev Vyacheslav , Melnychuk Serhii , Salnikov Nikolay 
Published: April 2023

The concept of a complex system in this work is understood as a large set of dynamic interconnected systems, the exact mathematical model of which is not known or has a very large dimension. In such situation the use of standard methods for synthesizing feedback becomes difficult or even im­possible due to the degeneracy of the corresponding mathematical problems. One way out of this situation is to build an approximation model of reduced dimension. This can be done using a system of initial equations, if they are available, or using identification methods based on measurements of output and input variables acting on the system. In this case, the process of con­structing a mathematical model is reduced to a sequential enumeration of possible models of increasing complexity. As a criterion for the adequacy of the model, the norm of deviation of the output of the adjusted model from the measured value of the output of the system under study is considered. The article deals with the construction of linear models, the complexity of which is determined by their dimension. In the framework of nonstochastic approach it is developed the methodological and mathematical basis for model reconstruction which describes processes in complex systems. Asymptotic modelling allows for such system to form model classes appropriate to solve identification problem. Precise description corresponds to infinite expansion so the model quality is improved when its dimension is increased. However errors in available data do not allow increase their dimension limitlessly due to ill-conditionality of the identification problem beginning from some dimension. Regularization procedure permits to determine the effective approximate solution of identification problem which for nonstochastic case is in agreement with errors in data. Properties and peculiarities of the proposed approach are illustrated by simulation results.

В статье представлен краткий обзор по вопросу холестеатомы среднего уха, описаны причины деструкции костных структур, приводящие к развитию внутричерепных осложнений. В данной статье также упоминается изолированная врожденная холестеатома среднего уха и частота ее в практической оториноларингологии. Представлен клинический случай врожденной холестеатомы височной кости без нарушения слуха, которая выявлена на верхушке сосцевидного отростка. При этом холестеатома разрушила стенку задней черепной ямки, но слуховые косточки, антрум и периантральные клетки сосцевидного отростка остались интактными, что подтверждалось исследованиями МРТ и КТ височной кости, а также аудиологическими данными. Проведено хирургическое лечение, при этом оперативное вмешательство ограничилось верхушкой сосцевидного отростка, без вскрытия периантральных клеток и антрума. Послеоперационный период протекал гладко, рана велась открыто, зажила вторичным натяжением.
The article presents a brief review on the issue of middle ear cholesteatoma, describing causes of bonе structures destruction leading to the development of intracranial complications. Isolated congenital cholesteatoma of the middle ear and its frequency in practical otorhinolaryngology are also mentioned. A clinical case of congenital cholesteatoma of the temporal bone without hearing impairment which was detected at the tip of the mastoid process is described. In described case, the cholesteatoma destroyed the wall of the posterior cranial fossa, but the auditory ossicles, antrum and periantral cells of the mastoid process remained intact, which was confirmed by MRI and CT scans of the temporal bone, as well as audiological data. Surgical treatment was performed; however, the surgical intervention was limited to the tip of the mastoid process, without opening the periantral cells and the antrum. The postoperative period was uneventful; the wound was managed openly, and healed by secondary tension.

Инфекции дыхательных путей занимают первое место по распространенности среди всех заболеваний у детей. Среднестатистический ребенок болеет острыми респираторными вирусными инфекциями 6–8 раз в год. Приблизительные подсчеты показывают, что в течение жизни человек может болеть острыми респираторными вирусными инфекциями в среднем около 6 лет. Инфекции носа и ротоглотки – наиболее частая причина обращения к педиатру, терапевту или к врачу-отоларингологу. Как правило, эти заболевания сопровождаются развитием острого риносинусита у детей из-за более узких анатомических размеров носа и придаточных пазух носа. Основное неинвазивное исследование с применением препарата Синупрет® в лечении острого риносинусита у детей подтвердило высокую эффективность и переносимость растительного комбинированного препарата при остром синусите. Широкий спектр фармакологических эффектов препарата Синупрет® и наличие двух лекарственных форм (капель и таблеток) делают его оптимальным средством в лечении заболевания у детей начиная с двух лет. Представленное исследование подтверждает высокую эффективность и хорошую переносимость лечения препаратом Синупрет®.
Respiratory tract infections occupy the first place in prevalence among all diseases in children. The average child suffers from acute respiratory viral infections 6–8 times a year. Approximate calculations show that during lifetime an individual can suffer from acute respiratory viral infections for an average of about 6 years. Infections of the nose and oropharynx are the most common reason for contacting a pediatrician, therapist or an otolaryngologist. As a rule, these diseases are accompanied by the development of acute rhinosinusitis in children due to the narrower anatomical dimensions of the nose and paranasal sinuses. The main noninvasive study using Sinupret® in the treatment of acute rhinosinusitis in children confirmed the high efficacy and tolerability of the herbal combination drug in acute sinusitis. A wide range of pharmacological effects of Sinupret® and availability in two dosage forms (drops and tablets) make this medicinal product optimal remedy in the treatment of the disease in children over two years of age. The presented study confirms the high efficacy and good tolerability of treatment with Sinupret®.

Środowisko, w którym żyjemy, jest dynamiczne i pełne bodźców. Na większość zjawisk składa się przynajmniej kilka typów informacji, które odbierane są symultaniczne za pomocą różnych zmysłów. Prawidłowe łączenie tych danych i ich późniejsza integracja to zatem kluczowe elementy efektywnego funkcjonowania w takiej przestrzeni. Proces integracji multisensorycznej pozwala na integrację bodźców na poziomie układu nerwowego. Integracja multisensoryczna to zagadnienie szeroko omawiane w różnychdziedzinach nauki, które stale budzi wiele pytań. W literaturze brakuje jednak opracowań poruszających temat całościowo, z różnych perspektyw. Artykuł ma na celu przedstawienie najważniejszych zagadnień, takich jak perspektywy behawioralne i neuronalne oraz podstawowe reguły charakteryzujące proces.

Cyjanobakterie – organizmy, którym niestraszne jest promieniowanie UV
Authors: Mazur Zofia , Ślesak Ireneusz 
Published: April 2023

Cyjanobakterie (sinice) to grupa organizmów prokariotycznych zdolnych do fotosyntezy tlenowej. Odporność cyjanobakterii na rozmaite czynniki stresowe sprawia, że są one ciekawym obiektem badawczym. Pojawienie się dziur ozonowych w ziemskiej stratosferze oraz planowana eksploracja kosmosu sprawiły, że zaczęto wnikliwiej badać wpływ promieniowania ultrafioletowego (UVR) na organizmy, w tym sinice. UVR może oddziaływać na układy żywe zarówno bezpośrednio, uszkadzając głównie DNA i białka, jak i pośrednio poprzez syntezę reaktywnych form tlenu. Cyjanobakterie posiadają szereg mechanizmów obronnych, które pozwalają im adaptować się do niesprzyjających warunków otoczenia. Są to m.in.: unikanie UVR poprzez migrację lub tworzenie mat, naprawa DNA, aktywność enzymów antyoksydacyjnych, biosynteza związków absorbujących UVR czy określonych białek. Praca przedstawia podstawowe informacje, które dotyczą oddziaływania UVR na sinice oraz cyjanobakteryjnych mechanizmów obronnych przed UVR.
