Potential drug-drug interactions with phentermine among long-term phentermine consumers: A retrospective analysis
Authors: Fourie A , Julyan M , Mostert L , Du Plessis J M 
Published: August 2023

Background. Phentermine is an internationally recognised amphetamine derivative with significant appetite-suppressing properties. The drug is indicated for the short-term management of obesity, as the long-term (LT) use of phentermine may potentially be associated with severe cardiovascular side-effects, abuse and dependence. The LT use hereinafter describes periods exceeding 12 consecutive weeks. This use may also be associated with potential drug-drug interactions (PDDIs), which may result in adverse drug reactions (ADRs). The literature reports that phentermine is often prescribed LT and for several other off-label indications, increasing the risk for individuals to experience adverse drug events (ADEs) and drug-drug interactions (DDIs). There are, to our knowledge, no South African (SA) studies investigating the prevalence of co-prescribing LT phentermine with drugs that may potentially cause DDIs.
Objective. To determine the prevalence of mild, moderate and severe DDIs with phentermine use when the duration of therapy in private healthcare exceeded 12 consecutive weeks.
Methods. A cross-sectional drug utilisation review (DUR) was done by using data obtained from a SA pharmacy benefit management (PBM) company’s database. Retrospective data of medicine claims for phentermine, from 1 January 2015 to 31 December 2019, were extracted for analysis. The number of days phentermine was supplied was used to identify the study population, in other words, those patients who received the drug LT. A drug interaction checker (Drugs.com) was used to identify potential mild, moderate and severe DDIs when using phentermine and co-prescribed drugs concurrently.
Results. A total of 889 patients received phentermine LT. The top 20 drugs identified as being frequently co-prescribed in this study population demonstrated no mild PDDI, 15 (75%) moderate PDDIs and 5 (25%) severe PDDIs. The most common co-prescribed drug in the moderate group was dextromethorphan (n=282, 31.72%) and the least co-prescribed was formoterol (n=52, 5.85%). Among the drug group ‘severe PDDIs’, tramadol (n=416, 46.79%) was most frequently prescribed, whereas phenylpropanolamine (n=69, 7.76%) was the least prescribed to patients in this group.
Conclusion. There are patients who receive LT phentermine therapy despite the potential severe consequences that may result. These patients may receive concomitant therapy with phentermine and other pharmaceutical constituents, which may potentially cause DDIs, more specifically, moderate and severe DDIs. As such, these patients are not only confronted with the consequences of DDIs but are also at risk to experience ADRs as the residual effect of PDDIs.
The association between cytology and histopathology in thyroid nodules over a 6-year period in an urban hospital in South Africa
Authors: Chetty M , Mbatha B , Fru P 
Published: August 2023

Background. Thyroid cancer is prevalent both internationally and locally, and is the most common cause of endocrine malignancies in Africa. The prognosis of thyroid cancer in general is quite good, but to achieve good outcomes, appropriate methods for diagnosis are important. A cytology result obtained from a fine needle aspiration and biopsy (FNAB) is one such method, and is less invasive and has less risk compared with obtaining a histological result via open surgery. However, there are accuracy differences that have been reported in different literature findings.
Objectives. To determine the diagnostic accuracy rate of thyroid FNAB compared with histopathological samples at an urban hospital in South Africa (SA), and compare this with international standards.
Methods. A retrospective observational study was conducted of patients who had undergone both FNAB and thyroidectomies at Helen Joseph Hospital, Gauteng Province, SA, a public tertiary hospital, between 1 January 2016 and 31 December 2021. Various analytical methods were used, including Poisson generalised linear model, binomial generalised linear model, a two-proportion z-test, McNemar’s test and the F1 score.
Results. There were 164 participants in this study who were between the ages of 21 and 82 years old. Thirty-six records were excluded for use as a comparison between cytology and histology, as they were in Bethesda categories 1, 3 and 4. Out of the 128 records that were compared, there was statistically significant agreement v. non-agreement between cytology and histology findings for thyroid nodules (109 v. 19, p<0.001, respectively). A comparison between our sample population and internationally published standards in terms of rate of malignancy noted that our rate of malignancy was slightly higher in Bethesda 2 patients (5.88%) v. internationally published standards (0 - 3%), and slightly lower in Bethesda 4 (23.52%) and 6 (77.77%) v. internationally published standards (25 - 40% and 97 - 99%, respectively.
Conclusion. There was good correlation between cytology and histology for thyroid nodules. Differences were noted between the percentage of malignant cases in the different Bethesda categories compared with international standards as noted above. We recommend that further studies are conducted locally to improve knowledge on this topic.
Financial regulation of social innovations as a tool for ensuring social security
Authors: Andreeva Olga Valentinovna 
Published: August 2023

The relevance of the study is determined by the lack of understanding of a certain system of financial regulation of social innovations, which does not allow to ensure the targeted orientation, stability and fullness of financial flows within the framework of the implementation of socio-innovative projects and financing of social innovations throughout their life cycle, which can qualitatively affect chronically unsolvable problems that hinder the improvement of social security of society and the state. The purpose of the article is to formulate an approach to the formation of an effective system of financial regulation of social innovations in order to ensure the social security of the state. The research methodology is based on the developments of Russian and foreign scientists in the field of social security, social innovation, financial regulation. Methods of generalization, analogy, statistical data analysis, tabular and graphical methods of information interpretation were used. The paper presents approaches to the concept and content of the concept of "social security"; the results of the author's calculation of indicators of social security of the Russian Federation in modern conditions by the index method, taking into account existing scientific developments, strategic planning documents, as well as publicly available statistical data; conceptual elements and approaches for the formation of an effective system of financial regulation of social innovations, based on the requirements of achieving social security. There are two types of financial regulation of social innovations (operational and strategic), levels of implementation (micro-regulation, mesoregulation, macro-regulation), the nature of the impact (stimulating or restrictive), forms of regulation (direct and indirect). The priority directions of financial regulation of social innovations to achieve social security are proposed.
"Nordic Aspirations"
Authors: Berg Laila 
Published: August 2023

This article explores the Scottish discourse on the Nordic region, that is, dominant conceptualisations of the Nordic region in contemporary Scotland in the context of the current Scottish nation-building project. Since the early 2000s, the Nordic region has received wide political attention and been presented as a viable and desirable role model for Scottish development by key political and social actors, including the Scottish Government and the Scottish National Party (SNP). This interest in the Nordic countries and the idea that they offer an alternative for Scotland which is line with dominant self-images of Scotland as egalitarian and social democratic has established itself as a central argument and aspect of the Scottish independence movement and the wider Scottish public debate. This article examines the historical development of the discourse on the Nordic region in Scotland, and its content by showing how the Nordic region is a multifaceted concept which intersects with Scottish nationalism and long-standing associations to the North. The Nordic region, in the Scottish context, is hence both a reality and a myth, a practical example and an idea. This dual quality is at the heart of the appeal and resilience of the Nordic region in contemporary Scotland, making the Nordic region Scotland’s main positive Other.

The Association and Dissociation Tendencies of the Coaxial and Non- Coaxial Components of Shear Strength of Soils to Environment
Authors: Rajaraman J. , Thiruvenkatasamy K. , Narasimha Rao S. 
Published: August 2023

AbstractSoil is rock on its way to ocean. It undergoes many changes during the travel. The important factors which influence the geo-technical behavior of soil are : Grain size and Shape, Gradation, Water, Parent rock materials and Environment. The Geo-technical behavior of fine grains in soil is highly complex than coarse grains. A pure cohesive soil has pure shear or coaxial shear component only. A pure friction soil has Non-coaxial or simple shear component only. Normally a soil sample is a mixture of coarse and fine grains. The shear strength is shared between coaxial and non-coaxial component of the total shear strength of soil. The environment influences the Geo-technical behavior of soil. The coaxial and non-coaxial components of shear strength (coax and non-coax) of soil accepts and adjusts to reach a new equilibrium in stability. In this paper the association and dissociation of coax and non-coax with environmental conditions starting from laboratory and ending in marine environment through examples, illustrations and documented, reliable data available in literature.
Comparison between the Laser Beam Ceilometer and an Algorithm for Continuous Evaluation of Cloud Base Height and Temperature, and Cloud Coverage at Local Scale
Authors: Malek Esmaiel 
Published: August 2023

AbstractThe ground-based laser beam ceilometers are used at the Automated Surface Observing Systems (ASOS) in major airports in the U.S. to measure the cloud base height and report the sky conditions on an hourly basis or at shorter intervals. These laser ceilometers are fixed-type whose transmitters and receivers point straight up at the cloud (if any) base. They are unable to detect clouds that are not above the sensor. To report cloudiness at the local scale, many of these types of ceilometers are needed. A single cloud hanging over the sensor will cause overcast readings, whereas, a hole in the clouds above the sensor could cause a clear reading to be reported. To overcome this problem, we have set up a ventilated radiation station at Logan-Cache airport, Utah, U.S.A., since 1995. This airport is equipped with one of the above-mentioned ceilometers.This radiation station (composed of pyranometers, pyrgeometers with fields of view of 150°), and net radiometer provide continuous measurements of incoming and outgoing shortwave and longwave radiation and net radiation throughout the year. Considering the additional longwave radiation captured by the facing-up pyrgeometer during cloudy skies, coming from the cloud in the wave band (8-13 μm) which the gaseous emission lacks, we developed an algorithm which provides the continuous cloud information (cloud base height, cloud base temperature, and percent of skies covered by cloud) at local scale during the day and night throughout the year.Comparisons between the ASOS and the model data during the period June, 2004, are reported in this article. The proposed algorithm is a promising approach for evaluation of the cloud base temperature and height, and percent of skies covered by cloud and its effects on aviation throughout the year.
The Cost of Increased Validity: Combining a Multiple Baseline Design with an ABAB Design
Authors: Whitehurst Geoffrey 
Published: August 2023

AbstractA previous feasibility study, degradation of pilot flight performance when transitioning from digital instrumentation to analog instrumentation for the first time, was replicated using two single case research designs (SCDs). The validity of SCDs has often been questioned by researchers who use between-group designs. However, within the research fields using single case research, it is suggested that the validity of SCDs can be improved by systematic replication of single case experiments. This study investigated whether validity could be improved by systematic replication of single case experiments by comparing two SCDs: the multiple baseline design (MBD), which increases replications across subjects to improve validity, and the combined design, which increases replications both across and within subjects and may provide greater improvement in validity. The two designs were compared in terms of results, validity, and cost. The results of the data analyses did not provide any significant advantages or disadvantages for either design, and the improvement in validity of the combined design came at a considerable increase in cost.

Musical Expression on Wind Instruments: Perspectives from a Panel of Experts
Authors: Gibbs Brian K. 
Published: August 2023

AbstractMusical expression, or a performer’s interpretation of the aesthetic message intended by the composer, involves thoughtful manipulation of perceptual variables such as dynamics, tempo, articulation, and timbre. Musical expression is commonly associated with artistry and achievement in music, yet research on pedagogy for teaching musical expression to wind instrumentalists is limited. The purpose of this study is to use perspectives from professional wind instrumentalists and conductors to explore how musical expression on wind instruments is demonstrated and measured. The qualitative tradition of the Delphi method, with three rounds of data collection, provided the structure for answering the research questions. The importance of effectively communicating musical interpretation through performance was a recurring theme within the data collection as well as the literature review. Findings suggest that a performer’s abilities both to appropriately analyze the music and then to successfully communicate his or her interpretation of the music to a listener are critical for achieving artistry in musical expression. The study may provide valuable insight for a deeper understanding of pedagogical strategies needed for teaching musical expression to wind instrumentalists.
A Unique Case of Emphysematous Pyometra and Uterine Adenocarcinoma Co-Incidence in a Doberman Female Dog
Authors: Umamageswari J. , Rasool Akhter , Sureshkumar R. , Rangasamy S. , Pazhanivel N. , Sarath T. , Krishnakumar K. 
Published: August 2023

Background: Emphysematous pyometra is a rare and potentially life-threatening condition observed in intact female dogs, characterized by the accumulation of infectious exudate within the uterus and accompanied by the presence of gas. This report highlights an exceptional case where two distinct medical conditions manifested concurrently in a female Doberman pinscher – the coexistence of emphysematous pyometra and uterine adenocarcinoma. This juxtaposition not only creates an uncommon clinical scenario but also introduces complex challenges in terms of effective clinical management and therapeutic decision-making.
Case Presentation: In this current case, a 4-year-old Doberman female dog underwent an ovariohysterectomy due to advanced purulent uterine infection. Upon gross examination, the uterine horns displayed distension and contained a mixture of fluid and gas. A uterine tissue sample was submitted for histopathological analysis, which unveiled thickened endometrial folds and the presence of neoplastic cells. Both gross and histopathological features confirmed the presence of emphysematous pyometra and uterine adenocarcinoma.
Conclusion: To the best of the authors' knowledge, this represents a novel case of concurrent emphysematous pyometra and uterine adenocarcinoma reported in canines. The extraordinary rarity of encountering both conditions simultaneously underscores the importance of thorough veterinary diagnostic protocols and prompt therapeutic interventions.
