Periprocedural management of sclerotherapy in patients with telangiectasias of the lower extremities
Authors: Korolova Kh.O. , Korolova Zh.V. , Teplyi V.V. 
Published: June 2023

Objective — to reveal the effect of certain medicinal and non­medicinal factors that can be applied before and after the sclerotherapy procedure on the final result of the treatment.
Materials and methods. The study included 104 patients aged 18 to 60 years who underwent sclerotherapy for the treatment of telangiectasias and reticular varicosities of the lower extremities. Patients were divided into subgroups depending on the appointment of phlebotonics and external means after the procedure. Results were evaluated 1, 3, and 6 months after treatment.
Results and discussion. According to the self-assessment of patients, the best cosmetic result was achieved in the subgroup that used phlebotonics in combination with external therapy with heparin sodium gel, compared to the subgroups in which phlebotonics were not prescribed (p < 0.01). In the subgroup where only phlebotonics were used, the result was also better compared to the subgroups in which phlebotonics were not prescribed (p = 0.03; p < 0.01). Self-administration of sodium heparin gel did not provide a statistically significant improvement when comparing the subgroups (p = 0.26). No statistically significant difference in disease recurrence was found between the subgroups (p = 0.729).
Conclusions. Ultrasound Doppler mapping with a detailed definition of the feeding sources of the reticular veins and telangiectasias allows determining the optimal stages of treatment to prevent the recurrence of the disease. The appointment of phlebotonics in the post­procedure period has a positive effect on the cosmetic result of sclerotherapy, especially in combination with external therapy with heparin sodium salt gel (p < 0.01). The use of phlebotonics and gel with heparin sodium salt does not affect the number of relapses of the disease (p = 0,729), which is probably due to the technical impossibility of detecting feeding sources in the pre­procedural period.

Published: June 2023

The placement of body towels before and after use in bathrooms where Serratia marcescens proliferates calls for concern, as Serratia marcescens, an airborne opportunistic pathogen has been reported keratinolytic. Serratia marcescens, a bacterium commonly noticed with a pink or red slimy appearance in toilet sinks, bowls, and tiles presents an aesthetically, unappealing and disgusting appearance in the toilet surroundings. The study aimed to trace the presence of Serratia marcescens on frequently used body towels hung in the bathroom doors. Swabs from forty (40) differently used towels were collected from twenty (20) volunteered homes and analyzed using standard microbiological procedures. Microbiological procedures involved inoculating the swab sample on a prepared peptone broth and plating on MacConkey agar media, followed by identification and streak of the recovered isolate onto Congo red agar media for biofilm formation. Results showed the recovery of Serratia marcescens isolates. The three homes showed a Serratia marcescens count of 3 X 10, 1 X 102, and 7 X 10 CFU per swab for house units C, I, and P respectively. Serratia marcescens could form a biofilm, a basic feature that allowed it to strive on a body towel. The results derived strongly identified the presence of Serratia marcescens biofilm on body towels hung in the bathrooms. This could have health implications for towel users due to the bacteria's keratolytic properties. Hence, the need for constant surveillance to support effective measures of hygiene, aimed at preventing the spread of Serratia marcescens is recommended.

Published: June 2023

Menopause is the irreversible and permanent cessation of menstruation after one year of amenorrhea. Common symptoms include vaginal dryness, hot flashes, night sweating, and bone pain. Traditionally Linum usitatissimum (Flaxseeds) has been used for the treatment of postmenopausal symptoms. However, the effect of this medicinal herb on the satiety hormone; leptin and body weight in menopausal women has not been elucidated well. This study was designed to evaluate the effect of flaxseeds on serum estrogen, progesterone, leptin, and malondialdehyde, body mass index, blood pressure in menopausal women. Moreover, the flaxseed effect on climacteric symptoms was also investigated.
The study was carried out as an interventional pre-post design. The study was a six-week oral administration of 1000 mg flaxseed powder twice daily by menopausal women. The duration of the study was eight months. Serum levels of estrogen, progesterone, and leptin hormones as well as total plasma malondialdehyde were determined pre-and-post flaxseed intervention. Clinical symptoms and bothersome complaints of postmenopausal women such as hot flashes, vaginal dryness, bone pain, and night sweating were also evaluated. Furthermore, blood pressure elements and body mass index were also measured. The results showed that Linum usitatissimum seed powder significantly reduced vaginal dryness, hot flashes, bone pain, and night sweating in menopausal women. The same dose of flaxseed had no significant effects on serum estrogen and progesterone. However, it significantly decreased serum malondialdehyde and increased serum leptin. Flaxseed had a non-significant effect on body mass index and blood pressure. In conclusion Linum usitatissimum seed had significant efficacy in relieving vasomotor symptoms, decreasing oxidative stress, and increasing serum levels of leptin in menopausal women.
Keywords: climacteric, estrogen, progesterone, leptin, malondialdehyde.

Authors: Trisno James , Erlyana Yana 
Published: June 2023

Indonesia has a martial art, namely the martial art of Pencak Silat. Pencak Silat has various variations due to the diversity of cultures in Indonesia. Unfortunately, Pencak Silat is currently less in demand due to various reasons, but one of them is competition with foreign martial arts. One of the martial arts of Pencak Silat whose existence is threatened is the martial art of Silek Harimau, this is made worse by the absence of written documentation regarding Silek Harimau. Therefore, this design aims to create media in the form of illustrated children's story books that introduce Silek Harimau to children. This design will use descriptive qualitative research methods, and data collection methods in the form of interviews, observations, literature studies, and questionnaire surveys. The design will use the Design Thinking method which consists of various stages, namely: Emphasize, Define, Ideate, Prototype, and Test. These design stages will later produce a media in the form of a illustrated children's story book entitled "Menjadi Kesatria Harimau"

Visualization of Seeking Identity on Transnational Children In “Be Prepared” Graphic Novel
Authors: Park Johanes 
Published: June 2023

Be Prepared is a graphic novel about Vera, the daughter of immigrants from Russia. In her storyline, Vera faces many cultural challenges when dealing with American and other Russian immigrant children. Vera attempts to find identity amidst the differences between the original culture of Russia and the American culture as the country she lived in. The situation between 2 cultures is a challenge for transnational children. This study aims to analyze and see the meaning represented in the graphic novel, especially how transnational children obtain identity and adapt to their environment. The research method used in this research is semiotics and literature review. The semiotic method is used to see the relationship between signs to get the meaning. The semiotic theories used in this research are based on Roland Barthes’s theories. Another method is the literature review which is conducted by overviewing the signs through several published literature to expand the meanings. The base theory used in the literature review is a cultural study that consists of ideas about acculturation, immigration, and cross-cultural theories. From this research, it can be seen that in the comparison of situations of 2 birthday parties, there are expectations in acculturation. The worship scene in the Russian Orthodox church represents immigrant families' coping mechanism for acculturation stress. The signs seen in the graphic novel are also seen in the acculturation stage of Vera's character to gain identity, which can be divided into three stages, namely, the stage of seeking recognition, the stage of imitating, and the stage of integration.
Keywords: transnationalism; immigrant; acculturation; graphic novel; sequential arts.
Artistic and aesthetic concepts of the formation of sound images
Authors: Volkomor Vitaliy 
Published: June 2023

The purpose of the article is to reveal the specifics of the formation of a sound image in accordance with the artistic and aesthetic concepts of the art of sound recording of the middle of the 20th century, developed by the founder of concrete music P. Schaeffer. Research methodology. Systemic and typological methods were applied (to study the specifics of the sound image and identify its role and significance for the art of sound recording); the method of historicism, which helped to outline the general trends of this issue in the middle of the 20th century; the comparative method (for identifying the peculiarities of sound perception by P. Schaeffer, deepening the understanding of his artistic and aesthetic concepts of the sound image and the specifics of the methods and techniques of sound processing developed by him). Scientific novelty. The specificity of the means of artistic and aesthetic expressiveness of the art of sound recording in the process of forming a sound image is investigated; on the basis of the analysis of the "Treatise on Musical Objects" ("Trait'e des object musicaux"), the artistic and aesthetic concepts of sound, formed by the French composer, the founder of concrete music, Pierre Scheffer, are identified and characterized, and the forms of their creative implementation are analyzed; it is proved that the specificity of the formation of P. Schaeffer's artistic and aesthetic concepts is due to the peculiarities of general cultural processes of the middle of the 20th century. and shows an organic unity with the then theoretical and practical style, artistic, semantic, and aesthetic norms. Conclusions. Artistic and aesthetic concepts of the formation of the sound image of P. Schaeffer played a key role in the history of musical art and the art of recording, in particular, the concept of specific music formed the direction of development of various genres of studio music (experimental electroacoustic music, radio art and "sound poetry"), and the techniques and methods he proposed are widely used in modern sound recording to improve the sound. According to P. Schaeffer's concept, everyday sounds that are not considered musical can be aesthetic, and their artistic and aesthetic expressiveness is realized by means of thoughtful listening. The specificity of the artistic and aesthetic concepts of P. Schaeffer in the context of the formation of a sound image is due to specific technologies that contribute to the full formation of the acoustic space (both real and virtual), the expansion and enrichment of the sound texture by means of regulating temporal, spatial and frequency parameters.

Published: June 2023

The results of studying the influence of structural changes in the kidneys on their filtration in cats with polycystic kidney disease are given. The study was conducted on 10 domestic cats, which were divided into two experimental groups based on the results of creatinine determination according to the IRIS (International Renal Interest Society) classification – 5 animals with moderate renal azotemia (group 1) and 5 animals with severe renal azotemia (group 2). Ultrasound examination of the kidneys of cats in both groups was performed using a Mindray device with a microconvection transducer with a frequency of 7.5–10 MHz in B-mode. Both kidneys were examined in each animal. Scanning was performed in the sagittal plane so that the kidney gate was visible. The length, width of the kidney, and thickness of the cortical layer, as well as the number of cysts and their diameter, were counted. The renal area (RA), cyst area (CA), and the ratio of cyst area to renal area (RA/Cyst) were calculated. According to the results of the study of serum creatinine and urea content, the animals were divided into two groups depending on the level of azotemia. 5 cats with stage III chronic renal failure (CRF), serum creatinine levels were 326.40 ± 23.59 μmol/l, and 5 animals with stage IV chronic renal failure serum creatinine – 887.00 ± 61.81 µmol/l, which is 2.7 times higher (P ≤ 0.001) than the creatinine level in cats with stage III CKD. The urea content in the serum was significantly increased compared to the norm and amounted to 22.82 ± 2.09 mol/l in cats with stage III CKD and 42.45 ± 1.05 mol/l in cats with stage IV CKD, which was 2.2 times higher (P ≤ 0.01) compared to stage III. In animals with polycystic kidney disease and stage IV chronic renal failure according to the results of ultrasound examination an increase in the length of the kidney by 6.5 mm (p≤0.001) and a thickening of the cortical layer by 0.8 mm (P ≤ 0.01) was revealed, compared to animals with polycystic kidney disease and stage III chronic renal failure. There was no correlation between the area of cysts in the kidneys and the level of creatinine in the blood serum of animals. Ultrasound signs of chronic renal failure in cats of stage III are enlargement of the kidney in the length of more than 51 mm and cortical thickness of more than 5.5 mm, of stage IV is an increase in kidney length of more than 59 mm and cortical thickness of more than 6.0 mm. According to the results of ultrasonography, the number of cysts or their area cannot be used to assess the degree of renal functional failure.
