The Role of the ClearPetra Suction Access Sheath and UROFINO Disposable Ureteroscope as an Alternative to PCNL/Conventional Flexible Ureteroscopy for a Large Renal Pelvis Stone
Authors: Mohamed Bashir , Al-Dhahir Wesam , Farah Mohamed , Mahmalji Wasim 
Published: February 2023

Over the last decade, there have been vast advancements in endourology, with innovation lead-ing to large renal stones being successfully treated with minimal to no incisions. As the elderly population is growing, we are seeing a trend of more complicated stone patients who are not suitable candidates for percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) and would require several attempts with conventional flexible ureteroscopy. We aim to share our experience using the ClearPetra Suction Access Sheath and UROFINO Disposable Ureteroscope to completely fragment a large renal stone in a frail elderly patient in a single sitting.
Pathologies of the Riverside Built Environment Versus Success Indicators of Functional Performance
Authors: Latusek Elżbieta 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
The paper focuses on the downtown built environment (downtown waterfronts) and also on individual architectural objects which have an important function in such a space. The quality of the built environment affects its surroundings not only in a physical but also in a social way. To find the most appropriate ways of preventing the occurrence of the built environment pathologies in downtown areas, the study used the diagnostic technique of functional performance understood, among other things, as the ability to satisfy the stakeholders' needs and the impact of stakeholders' actions on their living environment. During the research, a comparative platform was found for the functional performance, the imperative of sustainable development and the ecosystem services of rivers and reservoirs. The investigations resulted in the creation of success indicators illustrated by examples of six voivodeship capital cities in Poland which have the strongest connection with the downtown built environment in waterfront areas, namely: Gdańsk, Szczecin, Warszawa (Warsaw), Kraków (Cracow), Wrocław and Poznań.
Preliminary Report on Ignitibility of Combined Pro-Ecological Waterproofing and Fire Retardant Coatings for Paperboard in Architectural Application
Authors: Jasiołek Agata 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
Both fire and water protection are crucial for the safety and usability of paper-based products applied as building components. The presented study investigates the possibility of combining environmentally-friendly fire retardants with oil- and wax-based waterproofing coatings on paperboard for architectural applications. The proposed impregnation technique can be used as protection for paper-based temporary and emergency structures, or as part of the protective system for building envelopes of permanent structures. The fire retardants selected for the tests were diammonium phosphate and a mixture of borax and boric acid in a 1:1 ratio. Single-flame ignitability tests were performed on the impregnated specimens to assess the fire performance of specimens with fire impregnation, waterproofing impregnation and both. A Life Cycle Assessment analysis was performed for fire-retardant paperboard. The study has shown that the application of layered fire and waterproofing treatments on paperboard components is possible and leads to a significant reduction in flammability compared to untreated and only waterproofed specimens.

Abstract
Present study investigates the thermal decomposition and syngas potential of pre-drying municipal solid waste (PMSW) via pyrolysis using thermo-gravimetric (TGA) analyzer coupled with the mass spectrometer (MS). The experiments were performed at the heating rates 5 and 15°C/min. Differential thermo-gravimetric (DTG) curves exposed four conversion phases at lower heating rate and two conversion phases at higher heating rate. MS analysis of the evolved gases H2, CO, and CH4 revealed that the devolatilization phase played a major role during the processes. Higher H2 generation was observed at a lower heating rate due to more contact among PMSW and process temperature. Higher CO and CH4 were also favored at lower heating rate. Total yield of gases was found higher due to higher CO generation. For the estimation of activation energy (Ea), Flynn-Wall-Ozawa (FWO) kinetic model was applied at the conversion rates (α) ranged from 5–35. In overall, the lower heating rate supported the higher WMSW conversion as well as higher gas released during the process. Hence, this study will help to evaluate the H2 potential of the PMSW using pyrolysis thermal technology.

Published: February 2023

Background
Considering the cross-regulation of Th1 and Th2 responses, we hypothesised that atopic diseases (Th2) inhibit the protective Th1 immune response to Mycobacterium leprae and exacerbates leprosy.

Objective
In this study, we aimed to evaluate the association between leprosy and atopic diseases.

Methods
To evaluate the association of atopic diseases with leprosy, we conducted a case-control study that included leprosy patients (n = 333) and their household contacts (n = 93). The questionnaire from the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood, which is validated in several countries for epidemiological diagnosis of atopic diseases, was applied to determine the occurrence of atopic diseases, allergic rhinitis, asthma, and atopic dermatitis among leprosy patients and the household contacts.

Results
Considering clinical and epidemiological data, among the leprosy group 51.6% (n = 172) were determined to have at least one atopic disease, while atopy was observed less frequently at 40.86% among household contacts (n = 38). When two or more atopic diseases were assessed, the frequency was significantly higher among the leprosy patients than in the household contacts (21.9% vs. 11.8%; P-value = 0.03). Likewise, the frequency of asthma was significantly higher among leprosy patients (21%) than in the household contacts (10.8%; P-value = 0.02). Thus, our analyses revealed an association of atopic diseases with leprosy, with a significant linear increase in the occurrence of leprosy with an increase in the number of atopic diseases (P-value = 0.01).

Limitation
Due to the difficulties in recruiting household contacts that have prolonged contact with patients, but are not genetically related to the patient, the household contacts group is smaller than the leprosy patient group.

Conclusion
The data reveal an association between atopic diseases and leprosy outcomes. This knowledge could improve the treatment of leprosy patients with co-incident atopic diseases.

Authors: Martinez Daniela de Abreu e Silva , Lupi Omar , D’Ácri Antônio Macedo 
Published: February 2023

Background
People affected by Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), are burdened by a higher risk of developing malignancies including non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) and melanoma skin cancer.

Objective
To evaluate the association of HIV with melanoma and NMSC at a University Hospital.

Methods
This is a cross-sectional retrospective study of HIV-infected and a matched comparison group, analyzing the associations between skin cancer and HIV infection.

Results
Compared to the HIV-uninfected, HIV-infected had 80% association with skin cancer (CI 95%: 1.3-2.4, P = 0.001) The risk was 45-fold higher by patients" age (CI 95%: 3.3-15.9: P = 0.001). When adjusted for patient age, sex and race, the risk was 6.4 fold ligher of having cancer if compared to the others (CI 95%: 49-84, P = 0.001). Melanoma was not found in HIV-infected.

Conclusion
With this study, we have demonstrated that HIV-infected patients have an increased risk of BCC and SCC. Preventive dermatologic management is pivotal in the care of immunosuppressed patients. These patients must undergo the dermatological examination annually and should receive extensive counseling regarding sun avoidance, use of sunscreens,and sun-protective clothing.

Published: February 2023

Background:
Dural arteriovenous fistulas (dAVFs) occurring near the hypoglossal canal are rare. Detailed evaluation of vascular structures can identify shunt pouches at the jugular tubercle venous complex (JTVC) in the bone near the hypoglossal canal. Although the JTVC has several venous connections, including the hypoglossal canal, there have been no reports of transvenous embolization (TVE) of a dAVF at the JTVC using an approach route other than the hypoglossal canal. This report describes the first case of complete occlusion with targeted TVE using an alternative approach route in a 70-year-old woman presenting with tinnitus diagnosed with dAVF at the JTVC.

Case Description:
The patient had no history of head trauma or other preexisting conditions. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed no abnormal findings in the brain parenchyma. Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) revealed a dAVF near the ACC. The shunt pouch was located in the JTVC, near the left hypoglossal canal, with feeders from the bilateral ascending pharyngeal arteries and occipital arteries, left meningohypophyseal trunk, and odontoid arch of the left vertebral artery. TVE was performed near the shunt pouch. Localized packing of the shunt point was achieved. The patient’s tinnitus improved. Postoperative MRI showed disappearance of the shunt without any complications. No recurrence was observed on MRA 6 months after treatment.

Conclusion:
Our results suggest targeted TVE is an effective treatment for dAVFs at the JTVC.
SPECIFICITY OF APOPHATHIC STRUCTURES OF CONTEMPORARY ESCHATIOLOGICAL PROPHECIES
Authors: Лебедев Владимир Юрьевич , Прилуцкий Александр Михайлович 
Published: February 2023

Развитие апофатического дискурса в богословии связано с невозможностью определения и описания сущности и действий Бога при помощи существующего понятийно-терминологического аппарата теологических исследований. В эсхатологии использование апофатического подхода обусловлено внутренней спецификой апокалиптических пророчеств, а именно их герменевтической сложностью, чрезвычайностью и однократностью событий, необратимостью последующих результатов. В данной статье анализируется и типологизируется апофатическая герменевтика, анализируется профетическая апофатика, в том числе апофатические и псевдо-апофатические структуры современных эсхатологических пророчеств. Авторами анализируются семиотические особенности дискурса эсхатологической тайны и основные герменевтические паттерны ее обоснования. Рассматривается так называемый гносеофобский эсхатологизм, свойственный некоторым протестантским конфессиям. В заключении отмечается место эсхатологии в жизни современной Церкви.
The development of apophatic discourse in theology is connected with the impossibility of defining and describing the essence and actions of God with the help of the existing conceptual and terminological apparatus of theological research. In eschatology, the use of the apophatic approach is due to the internal specifics of apocalyptic prophecies, namely their hermeneutic complexity, the urgency and one-time occurrence of events, and the irreversibility of subsequent results. This article analyzes and typifies apophatic hermeneutics, analyzes prophetic apophatic, including apophatic and pseudo-apophatic structures of contemporary eschatological prophecies. The authors analyze the semiotic features of the discourse of the eschatological mystery and the main hermeneutic patterns of its justification. Further, the article discusses the so-called gnoseophobic eschatologism, characteristic of some Protestant denominations. In conclusion, the place of eschatology in the life of the modern Church is noted.
K.D. KAVELIN ABOUT THE LITERARY SALON OF A.P. ELAGINA
Authors: Михайлова Елена Евгеньевна 
Published: February 2023

Цель статьи - представить позицию Кавелина по отношению к салонной культуре русской интеллигенции 1830-1840-х гг., атмосфера которой питала мировоззрение будущих славянофилов. Для текстовой наглядности выбрана статья «Авдотья Петровна Елагина», написанная Кавелиным и впервые изданная в 1877 г. в журнале «Северный Вестник». Выявлено, что статья, написанная по поводу кончины Елагиной, содержательно вышла за рамки некролога и достигла уровня анализа «умственного строя» русского общества. Статью Кавелина можно разбить на две части: биографическую и аналитическую. В первой части Кавелин как мастер фиксации действительности рисует коллективный портрет истории семьи Юшковых, Киреевских и Елагиных, во второй - пытается дать оценку поколению образованных дворян, чья активная жизнь пришлась на конец царствования Александра I и начало правления Николая I.
The purpose of the article is to present Kavelin's position in relation to the salon culture of the Russian intelligentsia of the 1830s and 1840s, the atmosphere of which nourished the worldview of future Slavophiles. For clarity of the text, the article «Avdotya Petrovna Elagina», written by Kavelin and first publishedin 1877 in the journal «Severny Vestnik», is selected. It is revealed that the article written about Elagina's death has significantly gone beyond the obituary and reached the level of analysis of the «mental system» of Russian society. Kavelin's article can be divided into two parts: biographical and analytical. In the first part, Kavelin, as a master of fixing reality, draws a collective portrait of the history of the Yushkov, Kireevsky and Elagin families, in the second part he tries to assess the generation of educated nobles whose active life fell at the end of the reign of Alexander I and the beginning of the reign of Nicholas I.

Published: February 2023

Recently, the use of deep foundations has increased as a result of the expansion in the construction of high-rise buildings, train tracks, and port berths. As a result of this expansion, it was necessary to use deep foundations that have low cost, high bearing loads, low settlement, and construction time, and such foundations are subjected to different types of loads such as lateral, vertical compression, and tension loads. This research paper will present one of the most important types of deep foundations that are aptly used in such structures and the most important factors affecting their bearing capacity and settlement in stiff clay. This type of deep foundation is called an under-reamed pile. The factors used in this study are pile length to diameter ratio L/D = 30, bulb diameter ratio (Du/D = 1.5, 2, 2.25, and 2.5), number of bulbs (N = 1, 2, and 3), and spacing ratio (S/D = 2 to 8). To investigate the effects of these parameters and obtain optimal results, the PLAXIS 3D was used. The analysis shows that the increase in bulb diameter increases the bearing load by 43%. Bulb spacing controls the failure mechanisms, whether cylindrical shear failure or individual failure and increases the capacity by 66% and 99%, respectively, for two and three bulbs when the bulb spacing becomes S/D = 8. When the number of bulbs increases to three, the capacity increases by 90%. If each bulb works individually, the bearing capacity doubles

Rhynchobatus springeri (R. springeri) and Rhynchobatus australiae (R. australiae), which belong to wedgefish species, are the main target of captures of the bottom gill net fishery at PPI Sungai Kakap, West Kalimantan, a fishing ground in the Indonesian Fisheries Management Area 711 (WPP NRI 711). The fin is the main part in business activity in fisheries and has been exported due to high demand with promising price. But, there is a scarcity of research on this species (Jabado, 2019) especially the information about the level of vulnerability of the wedgefish species. The status of R. springeri and R. australiae are critically endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List (Jabado, 2019; Kyne, 2019; Kyne et al, 2019a; IUCN, 2012). CPUE is the amount of fish catch per unit of effort. The term ‘effort’ in this research is the length of days at sea per trip of fishing operation. Data collection includes the number of landings of Rhynchobatus species and length of days at sea from each fishing vessel during the years of 2016 and 2019. Microsoft Excel was used for data analysis. The results showed that the average CPUE was 54.34 piece/trip, or 1,512.19 kg/trip and 1.75 piece/day, or 48.78 kg/day per ship. The correlation between CPUE and effort is positively significant. At the CPUE piece/trip, the linear equation shown as follow y = 0.3583x-38.531 with R2 = 0.8724 or R = 0.9340. Whereas, at the CPUE kg/trip, the linear equation was y = 9,0823x-842,11 with R2 = 0,791 or R = 0,889 (Y is CPUE and X is effort).

Published: February 2023

OBJECTIVE
Pain outcomes by race in trigeminal neuralgia (TN) are not well investigated. The authors aimed to compare microvascular decompression (MVD) outcomes in TN patients on the basis of self-identified race.

METHODS
The authors retrospectively reviewed all patients with TN who underwent MVD at their institution from 2007 to 2020. Each patient’s self-reported race was recorded, and Barrow Neurological Institute (BNI) scores for pain and numbness were compared. Factors associated with pain recurrence were assessed using survival analyses and multivariate regressions.

RESULTS
Of 1011 patients, 925 reported their racial demographic characteristics, and patients who identified as Native American or American Indian and Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander were excluded due to small sample sizes. Of the resulting 921 patients, 697 (75.7%) patients identified as White, 108 (11.7%) as Black or African American, 39 (4.2%) as Asian, and 77 (8.4%) as other. Compared with White patients, Black TN patients were more likely to present with type 1 TN (p = 0.02). At final follow-up, the mean BNI pain score of Black patients was significantly higher (p < 0.001) compared with that of White patients, although pain scores did not differ preoperatively. The adjusted multivariate ordinal regression model showed that Black patients were associated with higher BNI pain scores at final follow-up (p = 0.01). Furthermore, compared with White patients, Black patients were at increased risk for postoperative pain recurrence (p = 0.04), which additionally occurred after a shorter median pain-free duration (p = 0.03).

CONCLUSIONS
TN patients who identify as Black or African American exhibit worse postoperative pain outcomes after MVD compared with White patients. Future studies investigating the factors driving these racial differences are warranted.
