The transformation of the vowel system in Gallic Latin as evidenced in inscriptions and the problem of dialectal positioning of Roman Gaul
Authors: Adamik Béla 
Published: April 2023

AbstractThe present study analyzes the transformation of the vowel system and especially the process of vowel mergers based on the Latin inscriptions of the Gallic and Germanic provinces. With the help of the Computerized Historical Linguistic Database of the Latin Inscriptions of the Imperial Age (http://lldb.elte.hu/), it tries to draw and then compare the phonological profiles of the selected provinces and to describe the dialectal position of Gaul and the Germanic provinces regarding vocalism in three periods (AD 1–300, 301–500 and 501–700). The analysis, which also covers comparisons with certain provinces of Italy, Spain and Dalmatia, is carried out considering four aspects: the ratio of vocalic versus consonantal changes, the ratio of vowel mergers compared to vocalic changes, the ratio of e-i and o-u mergers compared to each other, and the ratio of vowel mergers by stressed and unstressed syllable. As a result of the present study, it was revealed that Gallic provinces cannot be treated as a unit or as clearly separate from the other areas studied according to either aspect of the study, especially not in the early, pre-Christian period. Gallic provinces appear to behave in the same or a levelled manner at most in the later and/or latest periods. The Germanic provinces, especially Germania Superior, have, albeit with some delay, adapted to the Gallic provinces in their late development. The present study, which continued József Herman's research, managed to explore the hitherto little-known linguistic and dialectological features of Latin in the Gallic and Germanic provinces.

Tibial plateau fractures tend to occur in patients with polytrauma and in elderly patients with history of significant fall. This study was undertaken to evaluate and explore new generation implant fixation in tibial plateau fractures which is expected to provide a stable fixation with minimum exposure, early mobilization, less complications and a better quality of life.About 43 cases who had sustained tibial plateau fractures (Schatzker type I-VI) and operated with anatomical contoured locking compression plate were included. Follow-up of these patients was done at 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months after surgery. We analyzed all our subjects using IKDC score for functional outcome and plateau depression measurement for radiological outcome at 3 months and 6 months.All the 43 fractures analysed in this study were graded in accordance to the Schatzker classification. It was observed that most of these fractures, i.e., 16 out of 43 (37.2%) were type VI and 13 out of 43 (30.2%) type V. The average knee flexion at 3 months was 105.7±8.49 degrees and at 6 months 120.6±8.61 degrees. After evaluation, it was observed that at 6 months, 3 patients had extension lag (7%) out total 43 patients. Most of the patients had average IKDC score of 80.2±7.91% at 3 months which increased to average 86.92±8.05% at 6 months.Achieving and maintaining anatomical reduction becomes easy with advanced design of these plates, which helps in early mobilization and hence obtaining good functional and radiological outcomes of tibial plateau fractures.

Total hip arthroplasty is a surgical treatment that has been thoroughly documented. The capacity of Total Hip Replacement arthroplasty to treat pain associated with hip joint pathology while retaining mobility and stability of the hip joint is the key to its effectiveness.The goal of this study was to use the Modified Harris hip score and radiological examination to assess the clinical and functional outcomes of total hip arthroplasty.The study was carried out on 33 hips of 30 patients of Total Hip Replacement operated in the Department of Orthopedics, Vinayaka missions medical College and Hospital and Vinayaka missions Hitec Hospital, Salem, from August 2012 to September 2014. This was a retrospective as well as prospective study. Patient follow up was for a minimum of 6 weeks to a maximum of 12 months (1yr).9 patients underwent uncemented total hip replacement in which for 5 patients the acetabular cup was fixed with 2 acetabular screws each. During the procedure 1 patient had Type A2 Vancouver fracture of the proximal femur which was fixed with SS wire cerclage which united as documented by the follow up X-rays. Postoperatively, for two patients we came across dislocation due to adductor contracture, was reduced following adductor tenotomy. Patients were found to be doing normal daily activities by the follow-up. The mean overall pre-operative score was 33.3, which improved to a mean score of 94.2 after surgery.Dislocation was seen in 2 individual patients.After THR, which was conducted on a population of active individuals, 96.9% of patients experienced excellent or good pain reduction and function. When pain sufferers were included, the overall average score was 90 points, but after a minimum of five years of follow-up of 91 hips treated with the PCA prosthesis, the average score was 93 points.

To compare clinical and functional outcomes of Endoscopic and Microscopic lumbar discectomy in patients with L3-L4, L4-L5, L5-S1 intervertebral disc prolapse. 50 patients planned for surgical discectomy, were randomized by selecting every alternate case for either ED or MD, and their outcomes were compared on basis of Pain relief by VAS at pre op and at 6 months POD, difference in surgical time, complications, number of days of stay at the hospital, patient satisfaction assessment and time to return to work.On comparing the VAS scores of both the groups at preop and at 6-month post op period, the average VAS is reduced by 74% in the Endoscopic groups (Mean VAS (preop)= 8.76 +/- 1.12 to Mean VAS (at 6months) = 1.36 +/- 1.15) while it reduced by 72.4% (Mean VAS (preop)= 8.56+/- 1.12 to Mean VAS (at 6months) = 1.36 +/- 1.142) in the microscopic group. The mean time for ED is 81.4 minutes (SD=15.38) and for MD is 85.20 minutes (SD= 19.36). 80% patients iMD patients got discharged by POD3 compared to 64% in ED. Satisfaction rates by McNab criteria in ED is 72% and in MD 64%. 60% patients with ED went back to work within POD30 compared to 40% in MD group. Both the techniques are effective and safe for lumbar discectomy, but when it comes to patient satisfaction and return to work, endoscopic method has a slight advantage whereas in levels above L4/L5 and far lateral discs, microscopic technique is the technically better choice.

As redes políticas têm adensado a semiotização do capital no aparelho estatal escolar. Sob tal contexto, fazem-se necessárias novas estratégias de resistência ao avanço da racionalização neoliberal. A partir de uma pesquisa realizada com alunas e alunos leitores (COMITÊ DE ÉTICA 8369301019), oportunizados a experimentar a literatura fora do circuito da demanda de formação curricular nas escolas públicas, o objetivo do artigo é mostrar o investimento teórico que concebeu a literatura como experiência de monumento de perceptos, de afectos e blocos de sensações. A hipótese investigativa sustenta que ao se gerar experimentações por meio da máquina de expressão literária, a semiotização dominante escapa ao controle das demandas dos sistemas de formação capitalísticos funcionais. Nesse caso, indica-se a possibilidade de uma insurreição nômade na educação baseada na experiência literária, por sua vez, a potencializar a produção política de microrrevolução do desejo. Para tanto, os pensamentos de Berardi, Deleuze e Guattari são empalmados como condição favorável à análise em tela. Ao cabo, conta-se emergir uma disposição teórica a partir da qual a educação seja experiência de eclodir o desconhecido, a saber, aquilo que está por experimentar

Published: April 2023

A significant issue for global healthcare is recruitment and retention of doctors and nurses, especially in rural areas. It threatens continuity and accessibility of medical care for a large segment of the population.The aim of this article was to summarize currently available data on healthcare recruitment practices, particularly in rural areas, and key factors influencing retention of healthcare professionals. This will allow to develop evidencebased strategies for recruitment and retention of healthcare workers in the Russian Federation and reduce personnel shortage. International and Russian full-text articles were searched for in PubMed, ScienceDirect, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, and eLibrary databases.All the studied factors influencing recruitment and retention of healthcare professionals in rural areas were grouped into four main categories: financial, social, professional, and personal. Modern healthcare recruitment strategies were divided into three groups: financial, organizational, and instructional.The review results suggest that the Russian Federation uses the majority of global strategies to recruit and retain healthcare professionals in rural areas. However, there are some activities that have not been adopted in our country. They may be included in healthcare management practices to increase the effectiveness of regional programs for development of human capital in healthcare.

Published: April 2023

(COVID-19). In addition to systemic and respiratory symptoms, SARS-CoV-2 causes neurological disorders, as it is a neurotropic virus. Many scientists assume that SARS-CoV-2 can enter the nervous system through the functional receptor of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2, which is present in glial cells, neurons, skeletal muscles, and other organs. Neurological complications are manifested by damage to the central nervous system, peripheral nervous system, and cranial nerves, as well as by mental disorders. Mental illnesses develop due to neuroinflammation and neuronal death after brain infection with SARS-CoV-2.The article describes a clinical case of a 63-year-old man with the co-occurring novel coronavirus infection and obvious mental disorder who has never had any mental illnesses before. The given clinical example demonstrates the importance of studying the cause-and-effect relationship between COVID-19 and mental illness. In the mediumand long-term perspective, COVID-19 is expected to result in mental health disorders during COVID-19 recovery. Besides, an increase in the number of patients with mental disorders who were mentally healthy before COVID-19 infection is also expected.

Background. According to the latest epidemiological data, heart failure (HF) is diagnosed in 10% of adult population over 70 years old. However, currently this diagnosis is being increasingly made in young and middleaged people. The pathogenesis of HF may be based on a decrease in respiration in cardiomyocytes with age, which affects the function of energy-dependent processes in cells.Aim. To study respiration in cardiomyocytes and microviscosity of their membranes in rats aged 2 and 15 months with heart failure.Materials and methods. The study was carried out on male Wistar rats. The animals were divided into 4 groups: 2 groups of intact rats aged 2 and 15 months (n = 12) and 2 groups of animals of similar ages (n = 10) with a model of HF. In the latter, HF formed by day 28 after a double subcutaneous injection of isoproterenol hydrochloride at a dose of 170 mg / kg with an interval of 24 hours. Isolated cardiomyocytes were obtained from enzyme-washed rat hearts. Cell respiration was studied in a thermostated chamber in an incubation medium supplemented with phosphorylation (ADP) and oxidation (succinate) substrates. The respiratory control (RC) ratio was calculated by dividing V3 respiration state to V4. Membrane microviscosity characteristics were assessed by the eximerization coefficient of pyrene fluorescence in the areas of protein – lipid and lipid – lipid interactions.Results. RC in cardiomyocyte membranes of intact animals did not change with age. In 2-month-old rats with HF, respiratory control ratio (RCR) did not change compared with the intact age-matched controls. In 15-month-old rats with HF, there was a significant decrease in RC of cardiomyocytes (CM) compared with the intact animals of this age and 2-month-old rats with HF. An age-dependent decrease in the microviscosity of CM membranes in the areas of lipid – lipid interactions and no significant changes in the parameter at the sites of protein – lipid interactions were noted. In 2-month-old animals with HF, the microviscosity of CM membranes in the areas of protein – lipid interactions significantly decreased, and in 15-month-old rats it increased, compared with the intact controls. When carrying out an intergroup comparison, an age-dependent increase in the microviscosity of CM membranes in the areas of protein – lipid interactions and no differences in the parameter in the areas of lipid – lipid interactions were revealed.Conclusion. In the intact rats, the absence of significant changes in respiration with age was revealed. In the 15-month-old animals with HF, respiration in CM was significantly lower than in the intact controls and 2-monthold animals with HF. These changes may be due to the differences in the membrane microviscosity characteristics in different periods of ontogenesis.

Objective: identify differences or comparability of constitutional-morphological characteristics and indicators of the fatty constitution between patients with schizophrenia and people with MetS and without mental disorders.Materials and methods. We examined 63 patients with schizophrenia and MetS (25 women, 38 men), aged 30 [33;52], and 50 mentally healthy individuals with MetS (28 women, 22 men) aged 57 [49; 60]. The main criterion for inclusion in the study was the presence of a verified MetS according to the criteria of the International Diabetes Federation. Anthropometric examination was performed according to the method of V.V. Bunak (1941) with the underlying calculation of integral indices. The determination of the fat component included: measuring waist circumference; non-invasive bioimpedancemetry – body weight, BMI, total and visceral fat content; determination of the total fat fold (electronic caliper). In the blood serum, the concentration of glucose, total cholesterol, HDL, TG was determined using standard commercial kits, the calculation of LDL and the Atherogenic Index.Results. Differences in the prevalence of the constitutional-morphological type and the type of somatic sexual differentiation were not established in the groups. The level of visceral fat and BMI were higher in mentally healthy individuals with MetS than in schizophrenic patients with MetS (p = 0.005 and p = 0.0001, respectively). Patients with schizophrenia and MetS had low serum glucose levels compared with individuals without mental disorders (p = 0.0001). An increase in the level of TG and the Atherogenic Index was found in patients with schizophrenia with MetS (p = 0.026 and p = 0.03, respectively), and the level of HDL was reduced (p = 0.022).Conclusion. The constitutional and morphological basis of MetS in patients with schizophrenia and persons without mental disorders is the same, however, changes in the fat constitution were determined for mentally healthy individuals. Changes in the lipid profile and glucose concentration may be associated with the presence of MetS-specific risk factors for patients with schizophrenia.

Published: April 2023

Growing incidence of diabetes mellitus (DM), given significant socioeconomic consequences that low-trauma fractures entail, determines a need to improve diagnostic standards and minimize the risk of medical errors, which will reduce costs and contribute to better treatment outcomes in this category of patients.Aim. To assess diagnostic capabilities of the method based on the use of an artificial neural network (ANN) for predicting changes in reparative osteogenesis in diabetes mellitus.Materials and methods. A single-center, one-stage, cross-sectional study included 235 patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus and 82 persons of the control group (the total of 317 patients). Further, the obtained data were processed using the MATLAB software to develop an ANN with a training (80%) and test (20%) set. The ANN model was trained by optimizing the relationship between a set of input data (a number of clinical and laboratory parameters: gender, age, body mass index, duration of diabetes mellitus, etc.) and a set of corresponding output data (variables reflecting the state of bone metabolism: bone mineral density, markers of bone remodeling).Results. The ANN-based algorithm predicted estimated values of bone metabolism parameters in the examined individuals by generating output data using deep learning. Machine learning was repeated until the error was minimized for all variables. The accuracy of the validation test to predict changes in bone metabolism based on patient data was 92.86%.Conclusion. The developed ANN-based method made it possible to design an auxiliary tool for stratification of patients with changes in bone metabolism in diabetes mellitus, which will help reduce healthcare costs, speed up the diagnosis due to fast data processing, and customize treatment for this category of patients.
