Published: February 2025

Introduction: Hyaluronic acid has been shown to possess notable properties in wound healing, skin regeneration, and anti-inflammatory effects. The formation of scar tissue is a common and unintended phenomenon during the wound-healing process, potentially leading to diverse consequences for individuals.
Aim: The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of injecting synthetic hyaluronic acid on the wound healing process in BALB/c mice subjected to suture wounding.
Materials and methods: In this experimental study, 18 adult male BALB/c mice were utilized and distributed into two groups (9 mice each): an experimental group and a control group. A full-thickness incision wound, one centimeter in length, was created in the skin of the back neck area for both groups. After being wounded, all wounds were sutured. However, only mice in the experimental group had 0.05 mL of hyaluronic acid on both sides of the wound. On days 7, 14, and 21 following the injection of hyaluronic acid, three mice from each group were anesthetized, and skin samples were collected for histological evaluation. After staining the tissue slides with hematoxylin-eosin and Masson’s trichrome, a comprehensive analysis was conducted by a pathologist to quantify key histological parameters, including the number of fibroblasts, collagen fiber density, granulation area, and epithelium thickness.
Results: The experimental group demonstrated an increased number of fibroblasts, higher collagen density, and a more organized arrangement of collagen fibers when compared to the control group. On day 21, the experimental group exhibited a significantly higher average thickness of the epithelium and greater hair growth when compared to the control group.
Conclusion: Our findings suggest that hyaluronic acid exerts a positive influence on the healing process of sutured incisions, positioning it as a promising candidate for preventing the formation of abnormal scars at the site.

Le monopole de l’équarrisseur
Authors: Levasseur Aurelle 
Published: February 2025

À Montpellier au début du xixe siècle, une « ferme des bêtes mortes » (délégation municipale d’un service d’équarrissage) fut baillée à l’un des nombreux tanneurs de la ville. Les rédactions successives des cahiers des charges qui l’encadrèrent visèrent à établir un monopole au profit du fermier, malgré les droits dont disposaient les propriétaires sur leurs bêtes mortes et ceux des autres équarrisseurs, fondés sur la liberté du commerce. L’échec de ces dispositions, qui devaient éviter le déficit à l’équarrisseur municipal malgré les charges auxquelles il était assujetti, entraîna la disparition de la ferme en 1843, faute de candidats. Elle réapparut sous forme de concession à l’extrême fin du siècle et avec elle ressurgirent les conflits liés à la question du monopole, qui firent notamment l’objet du fameux arrêt Thérond du Conseil d’État. Mais, cette fois, la concession put s’inscrire dans la durée, parce que le concessionnaire acquit progressivement un monopole de fait, en raison du recul des droits des propriétaires sur leurs bêtes mortes à partir de la grande loi de police sanitaire de 1898 et de la concentration progressive du secteur liée au durcissement des normes hygiéniques.
Hospitales en el Madrid del siglo XVII: San Antonio de los portugueses, el Refugio y otras iniciativas afines
Authors: Pulido Serrano Ignacio 
Published: February 2025

En la última década del siglo XVI y en las primeras de la siguiente centuria tuvo lugar en Madrid un conjunto destacable de iniciativas hospitalarias y caritativas que han merecido nuestra atención. Se fundaron entonces distintos hospitales por impulso de algunas de las hermandades nacionales existentes en la corte y villa, como fue la de san Antonio de los Portugueses en la que nos ocupamos aquí. Además, se crearon entonces algunas cofradías asistenciales dedicadas a la atención de las distintas formas de pobreza que de manera creciente se fueron haciendo presentes en la ciudad. Entre otras, son los casos de la célebre hermandad del Refugio y, también, de la Misericordia de la parroquia de san Martín, que con este nombre desarrolló sus actividades en este populoso barrio madrileño. Así, la diversidad de formas en las que la caridad se manifestó entonces nos permite comparar unas con otras y mostrar las particularidades de cada una de ellas.
Juan Pablo Forner, un «contra-optimista» de la Ilustración española
Authors: Lora Márquez Claudia 
Published: February 2025

La vie et l’œuvre de Juan Pablo Forner (1756-1797) ont souvent été considérées comme représentatives de la tendance conservatrice et anti-philosophique des Lumières espagnoles. Pourtant, à la lumière des témoignages recueillis, l’écrivain de Mérida montre qu’il fut l’un des destinataires les plus passionnés du monde hispanophone des Essais de Théodicée sur la bonté de Dieu, la liberté de l’homme et l’origine du mal, publiés par le philosophe allemand Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz en 1710, dont il souhaitait détromper les doctrines de ses contemporains.Cet article vise à démontrer la connaissance qu’avait Forner non seulement des fondements théoriques de l’optimisme leibnizien, mais aussi de ses principaux adeptes et détracteurs. La recherche comprend l’analyse de textes imprimés qui permettent de situer convenablement Forner dans le contexte européen de la « querelle de l’optimisme » au cours du XVIIIᵉ siècle.
Bright ideas: comparison of LED and black-light fluorescent light performance on the capture of macromoth assemblages in western Newfoundland’s boreal forest, Canada

Published: February 2025

Abstract
Moths are a hyperdiverse taxon and contribute to important ecosystem services, including herbivory, pollination, and as food for other animals. Artificial light is an effective means by which to attract nocturnal moths for ecological study, but many traditional light-trapping approaches require the use of heavy, lead acid batteries, whereas novel light-emitting diodes (LEDs) use much lighter and energy-efficient lithium-ion batteries. Employing replicated forest stands being used for a longer-term study on the effects of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki (Btk) application, we assessed how traps fitted with either black-light fluorescent (BLF) or LED lights differed in the moth assemblages they attracted. The macromoth assemblages captured by the two light sources differed significantly in their composition, with some species almost exclusively collected by a particular light type. We collected significantly more moths in the BLF traps overall. However, we found a higher diversity of species using the LED light traps but only in the Btk–treated sites. We show that, although these lights appear to attract significantly different species assemblages, LEDs represent an effective, efficient, and environmentally safer approach for attracting macromoths. More empirical studies will help elucidate which species are most attracted to various light sources and if broader phylogenetic patterns exist.

Published: February 2025

Background: In the wake of the global crisis initiated by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) outbreak, South Africans explored alternative therapeutic strategies. This exploration was driven by vaccine hesitancy, the emergence of diverse SARS-CoV-2 variants, and the enduring challenges posed by the virus.Aim: This study aims to document medicinal plants with antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties and further report on their economic and social impact during the pandemic.Setting: The study was conducted through an ethnobotanical survey on medicinal plants with potential of relieving respiratory-related infections and assessing their subsequent economic impact.Methods: A comprehensive desktop study utilizing search engines such as Google Scholar, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Scopus was employed for documentation of these plants. Data gathered included plant species, family, parts used, preparation methods, administration routes and conservation status.Results: The study identified 23 plants from 18 different families that exhibit dual antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties. The study revealed a predominant utilization of the Lamiaceae family (14.8%), with leaves being the most used plant part (31.0%). Medicinal plants were primarily administered orally (75.0%) following preparation by decoction (24.0%). In addition to their reported pharmacological potential, these plants have significant economic value, specifically in rural communities.Conclusion: Challenges such as the overharvesting of endangered species highlight the need for sustainable practices. The limited data on their immunomodulatory properties also calls for further research to fully validate their therapeutic significance.Contribution: This study contributes on the knowledge pool of useful medicinal plants against respiratory-related infections with economic potential.

Authors: Sachan Sonal , Singh Suganita , Yadav Vandana , Goel Vishakha , Pavaskar Mayuresh 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Glomangioma is the most common variant of glomus tumor which arises from the glomus body, a neuromyoarterial structure that surrounds the cutaneous venous system found in the reticular dermis and mainly regulates temperature. It mostly affects the subungual area and is seldom seen in other body parts. Herein, we report a rare case of a 56-year-old male with solitary extradigital glomangioma on the posterolateral aspect of the left arm for 2 years with dermoscopic, histopathology, and immunohistochemical findings.

Authors: Shirahatti Trishala , Bangaru H. , Shankar Sathish , Manoj Rithu , Shirahatti Amruta 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) with congenital absence of skin, also known as aplasia cutis congenita (ACC) type VI, is characterized by congenital localized absence of skin, nail abnormalities, and blistering of the skin and mucosa. ACC is classified based on the location and pattern of the absence of skin, the presence of associated malformations, and the mode of inheritance. We report two sporadic cases of EB with congenital absence of skin who presented with blistering of the skin and mucosa, localized absence of skin, and nail dystrophy without systemic involvement. The first case succumbed to the disease, whereas the second case survived with conservative management.

Authors: Kurre Anusha , Vengareddy Satyapal , Kunti Shankar , Varala Sirisha 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Lichen myxedematosus (LM) or papular mucinoses is an uncommon, chronic, idiopathic condition that involves lichenoid papules, plaques, or nodules due to mucin deposition and variable fibrosis in the dermis. It has two subsets: (1) Generalized papular and sclerodermoid form (scleromyxoedema of Arndt-Gottron’s) and (2) Localized papular form. Discrete papular LM (DPLM) belongs to the localized papular form. Only 12 cases of DPLM have been reported so far in the literature, without association with human immunodeficiency virus infection. We report a case of discrete papular localized lichen myxedematosus in a 17-year-old male with spontaneous resolution of all lesions within 6 months of presentation.

Authors: Chauhan Anil , Kaur Kulbir , Malik Vivek , Pradhan Pranita , Singh Meenu 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Background:
The most common infections transmitted through soil in humans are caused by roundworms, whipworms, and hookworms. The overview of reviews aimed to determine the effectiveness of deworming interventions on anemia in children.

Material and Methods:
The studies included in this review were systematic reviews and meta-analyses that included randomized controlled trials/cluster trials comparing deworming drugs recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) for soil-transmitted helminths (STHs) with placebo or no treatment in children 1–19 years.

Results:
The electronic and manual searches have identified 137 titles and abstracts. Full-text screening yielded nine systematic reviews, which finally yielded the inclusion of six published systematic reviews and one previous report of the ICMR Advanced Centre for Evidence-Based Child Health. Overall, the results from seven systematic reviews suggested that there was no significant change in the hemoglobin levels after single- or double-dose deworming in children. The significant heterogeneity was reported by only two systematic reviews by Ghogomu et al. and the ICMR EBM report. The quality of this overview of reviews was assessed through the ROBIS tool, which reported a moderate to low risk of bias for the phase 1 and phase 2 domains.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, we suggest no significant change in hemoglobin levels and status of anemia after deworming by single or double dose in children.
Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis Due to Disseminated Histoplasmosis in a Young Patient with AIDS
Authors: Mostel Zachary , Rogers James Speed , Neogi Sushrita 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a life-threatening syndrome of immune dysregulation that results in multiorgan failure; HIV and histoplasmosis are known triggers of HLH. A young patient with AIDS was found to have disseminated histoplasmosis and met criteria for HLH. Despite 10 days of treatment with liposomal amphotericin B, she developed shock and acute respiratory distress syndrome and ultimately died. The few reported cases of HLH due to histoplasmosis in AIDS offer a variety of treatment approaches. There have been successful outcomes combining amphotericin with chemotherapies for HLH. Targeted therapies for HLH may be considered on a case-by-case basis in the setting of concurrent disseminated histoplasmosis and HIV/AIDS.
Semirigid Ureteroscopic Lithotripsy and Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy for Proximal Ureteric Stones: A Comparative Appraisal of Efficacy and Safety
Authors: Al-Dabbagh Alaa Al-Deen , Murshed Ibrahim Mustafa 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Background:
Urolithiasis is a common disease worldwide; many options are now available for its management, but evaluation of patient- and stone-related factors helps to select the treatment modality.

Aim of Study:
The objective of the study was to compare the efficiency and integrity of semi-rigid ureteroscopy (URS) versus extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) regarding stone-free rate and potential complications for patients with upper ureteric stone.

Patients and Methods:
A prospective study was performed, comprising 100 patients with upper ureteric stone sized < 10 mm. They were assigned into two equal groups: one group underwent ureteroscopic pneumatic lithotripsy and the other group underwent ESWL sessions. Patients’ follow-up done at 1 month and 3 months for stone clearance and eventual complications, many factors related to the patient and stone were evaluated.

Results:
The mean age of all patients was 42.54 ± 14.07 years; 69% of patients were males. The initial stone-free rate (SFR) was statistically significant between the two groups (80% for URS and 62% for ESWL), SFR for ESWL group increased to 76% and 82% after the 2nd and 3rd sessions, respectively; however, it remained higher in the URS group after 3 months of treatment. Complications were minor in the two groups. Analysis of stone- and patient-related factors revealed no significant impact of patient’s age, gender, height, and body mass index in both groups, whereas stone size, stone density, and ureteral wall thickness had a significant effect on SFR, the significance of proximal ureteric diameter (PUD) and renal pelvis anterior–posterior diameter was noticed in ESWL group only.

Conclusion:
Both ESWL and URS were safe and effective means for treating upper ureteric stones smaller than 10 mm, but evaluation of several factors related to patient and stone may help improve stone outcome.
Effects of postoperative quantitative assessment strategy-based nursing in patients with colorectal cancer
Authors: Tan Xiao-Qin , Huang Xiao-Lu 
Published: February 2025

BACKGROUND
Scientifically sound and reasonable care strategies in surgical nursing play a crucial role in facilitating postoperative recovery and preventing complications. This study focused on the application of quantitative assessment strategies to postoperative care. By quantitatively analyzing the effects of nursing interventions, we explored their feasibility and effectiveness at improving postoperative recovery quality and reducing the incidence of complications. This study provides a scientific basis for nursing practice and offers new insights into nursing management with significant clinical value.
AIM
To analyze the efficacy of postoperative quantitative assessment strategy-based nursing care for patients with colorectal cancer (CRC).
METHODS
This randomized controlled trial evaluated the ability of nursing interventions using a quantitative assessment strategy to prevent postoperative complications and enhance patient recovery. Patients with CRC were randomly divided into routine nursing (RN) and quantitative assessment strategy nursing (QASN) groups. The RN group received standard care, while the QASN group also underwent screenings for visual analog scale for pain, Barthel Index for functional recovery, and self-rating anxiety scale and self-rating depression scale for psychological status. Follow-ups were conducted on postoperative days 1, 7, 14, 28, and 56.
RESULTS
The participants’ baseline characteristics did not significantly differ between study groups, thereby ensuring the reliability of the results. The QASN vs RN group showed significant improvements in pain management (visual analog scale scores) and psychological status (self-rating anxiety scale and self-rating depression scale scores) and a reduced incidence of postoperative complications (P < 0.05). The follow-up evaluations at specified intervals confirmed these findings, indicating that quantitative assessment strategies significantly enhanced patients’ postoperative pain management and psychological well-being.
CONCLUSION
Nursing interventions using structured quantitative assessments demonstrated significantly improved postoperative recovery and quality of life in patients with CRC, supporting their integration into standard postoperative care protocols.
Efficacy of combined psychological and physical nursing in preventing peripherally inserted central catheter-related thrombosis in gastric cancer patients
Authors: Ni Wei-Jing , Xi Yu-Xiu , Zhou Yong-Chao 
Published: February 2025

BACKGROUND
Long-term chemotherapy for patients with gastric cancer (GC), facilitated by peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) catheterization, reduces vascular damage and enhances drug delivery efficiency but carries risks of catheter-related complications. A combination of group psychological nursing and physical movement care significantly mitigates the risk of venous thrombosis and improves psychological well-being, and enhances motor function, underscoring its clinical importance.
AIM
To assess group psychological and physical movement nursing in preventing venous thrombosis in patients with PICC GC.
METHODS
Sixty-five GC patients with PICC, admitted from January 2022 to January 2023, were randomly divided into two groups using the lottery method: A control group (n = 35, routine nursing) and an observation group (n = 30, routine nursing plus psychological nursing and physical movement nursing). Both groups received continuous care for 2 weeks. Pre-nursing and post-nursing data on psychological state, physical function, chemotherapy-related thrombosis incidence, and cancer-related fatigue were analyzed using SPSS 26.0 and GraphPad Prism 8.0.
RESULTS
After nursing, both groups showed reduced Hamilton Anxiety Scale scores and increased General Perceived Self-Efficacy Scale scores, with the observation group performing better (P < 0.05). The Functional Comprehensive Assessment score for the observation group after nursing was (65.42 ± 2.35) points, lower than the control group’s (62.19 ± 4.33) points (P < 0.05). Although no significant difference was observed in the incidence of venous thrombosis between the two groups (χ 2 = 0.815, P = 0.367), the observation group had lower incidence. Both groups showed decreased Revised Piper Fatigue Scale scores, with the observation group scoring lower (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION
Group psychological and physical movement nursing for patients with PICC reduces venous thrombosis risk, improves psychological well-being, cancer-related fatigue, and physical function, making it highly promotable.
