The influence of osteopathic correction on liquorodynamics in patients with tension-type headache
Authors: Belash V. O. , Starostenko V. A. 
Published: March 2023

Introduction. Tension-type headache (TTH) is known to be the most common type of headache in all age groups. The guidelines of the European Federation of Neurological Societies, the Italian Guidelines for Primary Headaches and the Italian Consensus Conference on Pain in Neurorehabilitation report that non-pharmacological therapies are valid adjunctive treatments for TTH. Previous studies have shown that the use of general osteopathic treatment in patients with TTH is accompanied by a significant decrease in the severity of pain syndrome and asthenic condition. We did not find any scientific publications devoted to the objectification of the results of osteopathic correction in TTH using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).The aim of the study was to objectify the results of osteopathic correction by assessing changes in the liquor dynamics of the posterior cranial fossa in patients with tension-type headache.Materials and methods. The study was conducted from December 2020 to December 2021 at the clinic of the Center for New Medical Technologies, Novosibirsk. There were under the observation 10 patients with an established diagnosis of TTH aged from 18 to 55 years, 4 men, and 6 women. All patients before the start of treatment and after the course completion were assessed for their osteopathic status and underwent high-field MRI 3T of the brain with the calculation of the posterior cranial fossa restriction index (CFRI). CFRI reflects the state of liquorodynamics at the level of the skull base and shows the level of freedom in the relationship between fluid spaces and brain tissues. Study participants received a course of osteopathic correction, which included 3–4 procedures with an interval of 5–7 days. The observed patients did not receive any other therapy during the study period.Results. The examined patients were most characterized by regional biomechanical disorders (RBD): head (9); neck, structural component (5); thoracic, visceral component (5); dura mater region (9). In terms of severity, mild RBD prevailed (1 point). After treatment, patients have a decrease of the detection frequency of major regional somatic dysfunctions (SD). Statistically significant differences (p<0,05) were obtained in the SD incidence of head region; neck region, structural component; thoracic, visceral component; dura mater region. A statistically significant (p<0,05) increase in the mean CFRI from 30,22±0,63 to 31,78±0,73 % was found after the treatment.Conclusion. The results of the high-field MRI with the study of CFRI allow to quantitatively assess the changes of the cerebrospinal fluid dynamics in patients with tension-type headache, and it can be used as an objective criterion for the osteopathic correction results and the therapy clinical effectiveness. The study should be continued with a more representative sample.

Writing is regarded as the most challenging skill to acquire when learning a foreign language. Extensive research into students' writing abilities is one method for understanding the challenges they face when writing. This study aims to investigate the most frequent English writing errors made by Saudi female university students at the tertiary level. The study's population comprised forty female college students. They had 45 minutes to write paragraphs on a variety of subjects. The participants in this study were selected at random and asked to compose an essay on any of the topics provided so that errors could be identified; the results were then analyzed and explained. Based on the findings, we can conclude that all 40 paragraphs of the essays written by Saudi female university students at the tertiary level contained 192 misspellings. There were 41 plural form errors, 58 comma punctuation errors, and 52 full stop punctuation errors. There were 119 instances of incorrect grammar, syntax, or word choice. The data analysis concludes that female students make numerous punctuation, syntactic, grammatical, and lexical errors, with most errors occurring in spelling and syntax. The results of this study are significant because the identified errors will have pedagogical implications when teaching writing skills to college-level English language students. This result sheds light on the areas that should be emphasized when teaching writing skills to EFL students in Saudi Arabia.
The Generalized Lucas Primes in the Landau’s and Shanks’ Conjectures
Authors: Athab Ali Sehen , Hashim Hayder R. 
Published: March 2023

Landau’s conjecture and Shanks’ conjecture state that there are infinitely many prime numbers of the forms x2+1 and x4+1 for some nonzero integer , respectively. In this paper, we present a technique for studying whether or not there are infinitely many prime numbers of the form x2+1 or x4+1 derived from some Lucas sequences of the first kind {Un(P,Q)} (or simply, {Un}) or the second kind {Vn(P,Q)} (or simply, {Vn}) , where P greater or equal to 1 and Q= 1 or -1. Furthermore, as applications we represent the procedure of this technique in case of x is either an integer or a Lucas number of the first or the second kind with x greater or equal to 1 and 1 less or equal to P less or equal to 20.
A reprodução de sistema educacional dominante na educação de surdo
Authors: Silva Simone Aparecida dos Santos 
Published: March 2023

Atualmente a temática sobre a ressignificação do espaço escolar, vem brotando da necessidade de promover uma escola de qualidade para todos, tendo os direitos humanos como referencial teórico e condutor de práticas para a promoção da dignidade humana. Portanto, reconhecer a educação de educandos surdos e suas necessidades educacionais especiais e legitimando o seu reconhecimento cultural para remodelar a escola, é caminhar para a promoção de sua dignidade humana e o empoderamento como sujeitos de direitos. Este estudo visa articular os direitos humanos com o direito à educação de surdos. Com uma breve abordagem sobre a história dos Direitos Humanos com Lynn Hunt (2009), relacionadas com as contribuições de Bourdieu (1989), o qual esclarece a reprodução do sistema dominante através do poder simbólico exercido, inconscientemente, pela instituição escolar e uma discussão sobre a concepção atual sobre surdo e deficiência auditiva com Lopes (2012). Utiliza-se como procedimento de estudo a revisão teórica com estes autores, que vêm colaborando para discussão do direitos humanos e a atual luta pelo reconhecimento de educação de surdo que atenda a necessidade deste grupo de minoria, o qual vem sendo negada por uma escola reprodutora da classe dominante. Os achados evidenciam a necessidade de dialogar sobre a escola inclusiva mais adequada para o fomento da autonomia e aprendizagem deste educando surdo. Mostra que no Brasil, especificamente, no Distrito Federal, a quantidade de surdos é relevante. Identifica que os educandos surdos não conseguem dominar os mesmos códigos culturais que a escola inclusiva valoriza. O aprendizado, assim para eles se torna muito mais difícil. Bourdieu (1989) entende que, assim, a escola marginaliza os estudantes mais excluídos e mais vulneráveis das classes populares ou de grupos de minoria, neste caso, os educandos surdos, enquanto privilegia os das classes mais abastada de capital cultural. Confrontando os resultados encontrados com as contribuições teóricas destes autores no estudo, verifica-se que, para os surdos tornarem-se sujeitos de direito passa pela valorização da língua brasileira de sinais- Libras e uma ressignificação da escola, para que seja realmente bilíngue onde a construção do pensamento, de sua identidade, do seu desenvolvimento e participação social promovam o avanço do seu capital cultural, pois o que está em jogo é o poder do conhecimento, o direito à educação para emancipação destes educandos surdos.

Evidências científicas apontam sequelas afetando múltiplos sistemas do corpo após a fase aguda da COVID-19. Declínio da capacidade funcional, fadiga, anosmia e dispneia são sintomas frequentes encontrados na população. Em pacientes graves, o tempo de hospitalização, associado a necessidade de ventilação mecânica, podem ocasionar agravos à saúde como fraqueza muscular diafragmática e musculoesquelética, dispneia, alterações cardiovasculares, neuropatias e distúrbios psíquicos. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o status funcional e a qualidade de vida a longo prazo, em indivíduos que foram acometidos na forma grave da COVID-19. Estudo do tipo série de casos, com seis indivíduos que desenvolveram a forma grave e foram internados em unidade de terapia intensiva. Para coleta dos dados, foi aplicado um questionário com dados sociodemográficos, avaliação da capacidade funcional através do teste sentar e levantar em 1’, avaliação da força muscular respiratória (Pimáx e Pemáx) e qualidade de vida utilizando o questionário SF-36. Após 1 ano de alta hospitalar, a persistência de alguns sintomas como fadiga, queixas álgicas e dispneia, continuam interferindo na qualidade de vida e na funcionalidade dos indivíduos em atividades laborais e de lazer que requerem esforço moderado ou intenso.

Objetivos: Determinar la asociación entre la disfunción diastólica del ventrículo izquierdo (DDVI) y la hipertensión pulmonar (HP) en pacientes andinos de zona rural que viven a gran altitud. Material y métodos: Estudio observacional, transversal analítico. Se definió y evalúo la HP y la DDVI de acuerdo con las guías de la Sociedad Americana de Ecocardiografía. Para evaluar la asociación se empleó el modelo lineal generalizado de Poisson con estimación robusta. Se consideró significativo un valor de p < 0,05. Resultados: Se incluyeron 528 (100%) personas con informes ecocardiográficos, con mediana de edad de 67 años (rango intercuartílico: 19 y 98), 58,71% (310) fueron mujeres. Se encontró DDVI en 20,5% (108) de los casos. La frecuencia de HP fue de 29,5% (154), correspondiendo a grado leve, moderado y severo en 76,0%; 14,3% y 9,7% respectivamente. El análisis de regresión simple reportó que las personas con DDVI, obesidad e índice E/e’ > a 14 tenían mayor frecuencia de HP en comparación a quienes no presentaban DDVI. En la regresión múltiple se encontró asociación entre la DDVI (RPa= 0.17; 95% CI: 0.11-0.24; p = 0.000) y el índice E/e’ > a 14 (RPa= 1,93; 95% CI: 1,27-2,91; p = 0.002) en personas con HP. Conclusiones: La DDVI y el índice E/e’ se asoció con elevada frecuencia a HP en pobladores andinos de zona rural, ello sugiere que la presencia de alteraciones en la relajación y distensibilidad del ventrículo izquierdo está asociado a HP.
