Published: September 2023

Objective: The present study aimed to evaluate the quality of life in children with food allergies, the accompanying depression and anxiety disorders, and caregiving burden of their mothers.
Material and Methods: A total of 168 children with food allergy visiting our clinic and their mothers were included in the study group. The control group included 152 children who visited the healthy child follow-up clinic of our hospital and their mothers. Studying mothers’ opinions, the Food Allergy Quality of Life Questionnaire Parent Form (FAQLQ-PF) was used for evaluating children, and the Beck’s Depression Inventory, Beck’s Anxiety Inventory, Temperament Evaluation of Memphis, Pisa, Paris, San Diego Auto-questionnaire, and Zarit Caregiver Burden Scales were used for evaluating mothers.
Results: No differences were noticed between the study and control group regarding mean age and gender distribution (P > 0.05). In the study, the FAQLQ-PF total and subscale scores of children with food allergies were determined according to the opinions of their mothers, and scores tended to increase with age (P < 0.0001). In addition, it was determined that mothers of children with food allergies had higher levels of anxiety, depression, and caregiving burden than mothers of the control group (P < 0.0001).
Conclusion: In order to develop a multidisciplinary approach for children with food allergies, we conceived as appropriate to inform their families about the difficulties of caregiving and psychosocial disorders that could develop over time. They also must be informed to take preventive measures as well as the medical aspects of their children’s disease.
Las Nuevas Masculinidades Alternativas Interculturales en la Superación de la Violencia
Authors: Toledo del Cerro Ana 
Published: September 2023

El rol de las masculinidades en la superación de la violencia de género ha sido estudiado en diferentes investigaciones. Sin embargo, el papel de las nuevas masculinidades en la superación de la violencia desde una perspectiva intercultural no ha sido tratado en profundidad. Este artículo presenta el estado actual de los estudios sobre las nuevas masculinidades, con el objetivo de aclarar qué modelos de masculinidad ofrecen posibilidades interétnicas para la superación de la violencia. Para ello, se ha realizado una revisión de la literatura científica en bases de datos internacionales de referencia. En primer lugar, se presenta la dicotomía entre el modelo hegemónico de masculinidades que perpetúa la violencia y la desigualdad, pero es socialmente atractivo, frente a los modelos de masculinidad que han logrado grandes cambios en términos de superación de la desigualdad, pero sin atractivo. En la segunda sección, se describe cómo el nuevo modelo de masculinidad alternativa combina la ética y el deseo, superando así el doble estándar entre ambos. Esto representa posibilidades para los hombres que quieren contribuir a la superación de la violencia de género participando en relaciones más igualitarias que unen la ética y la pasión. Se presentan estudios interétnicos que se basan en este nuevo modelo de masculinidad alternativa y que además rompe con la hegemonía blanca, rompiendo así los prejuicios racistas y ofreciendo aún más posibilidades desde esta diversidad cultural

Propensity of use of neuromuscular blocking agents among Indian anaesthesiologists: A questionnaire-based survey
Authors: Hodarkar Shubha , Jain Anil Kumar 
Published: September 2023

This survey aimed to understand the use of neuromuscular blockers (NMBs) with respect to neuromuscular monitoring, reversal of residual neuromuscular block, and incidence of adverse events among Indian anaesthesiologists.A 40-item questionnaire was sent to 250 anaesthesiologists across India via email and their responses were statistically analysed.The response rate was 50%. To facilitate tracheal intubation, 81.0% respondents preferred cisatracurium, 72.2% preferred atracurium, 43.7% preferred vecuronium, 58.7% preferred rocuronium, and 70.6% preferred succinylcholine. Safety and recovery time are the most important criteria for an ideal NMB. About 84% respondents expressed concerns about the adverse effects of NMBs, especially recovery of neuromuscular function (31.1%) and hemodynamic effects (26.4%). The train-of-four (TOF) ratio for residual paralysis was not checked by 57% respondents. Reversal agents were used by &#62;2/3 respondents; however, 86.5% used them after cisatracurium was used. Concerns about adverse effects of anticholinesterase/antimuscarinic agents were expressed by 63.4% respondents, while 85% expressed the need for availability of sugammadex in India. Almost two-thirds opined that conventional nerve stimulators and quantitative TOF monitors should be available in the operating room.The survey showed that safety and recovery time are the most important parameters in selecting an NMB. Cisatracurium was the most widely used NMB for tracheal intubation because of its safety, duration of action, less anaphylactic reactions, and fewer hemodynamic fluctuations. The use of TOF for monitoring was low. While reversal agents were used by &#62;2/3 respondents, many respondents used them after cisatracurium was used as an NMB.
The local political regime: aspects of Moscow polity
Authors: Chergeiko Georgy 
Published: September 2023

The article discusses the theoretical and methodological foundations of modern political regimes. The evolution of political and regime issues is reflected from the standpoint of the views of researchers reflecting in the 21st century. The crisis of the transit approach is shown, which inevitably led to a rethinking of democracy. The analysis focuses on local modes, which have two basic forms of expression: regional and urban, in relation to large urbanized spaces (megacities). As a result of the application of regional transformation criteria to the political sphere, it is concluded that since 2010, Moscow polity has experienced power-political restructuring in the format of a «pact of elites» and not scenarios of «struggle according to the rules», «war of all against all», «winner gets everything».
The use of the methodology of B. Ferman, in relation to the city (Moscow) political regime of 2010, allows us to conclude that the «control regime» explains more the specifics of metropolitan polity than the features of the «coordination regime».
Odkrywać na nowo znaczenie i wartość małżeństwa. Przemówienie papieża Franciszka do Roty Rzymskiej z 27 stycznia 2023 roku
Authors: Góralski Wojciech 
Published: September 2023

Doroczne przemówienie do Roty Rzymskiej wygłoszone 27 stycznia 2023 r. na otwarcie nowego roku sądowego Franciszek poświęcił wartości i znaczeniu małżeństwa w życiu Kościoła. Ukazując pochodzenie tego wyłącznego i nierozerwalnego związku mężczyzny i kobiety z ustanowienia Bożego, podkreślił, że rodzina (oparta na małżeństwie) jest „drogą Kościoła”. Ta fascynująca wspólnota całego życia, nawet niesakramentalna, jest prawdziwym darem Boga. Ojciec Święty zwraca uwagę na potrzebę pielęgnowania miłości małżeńskiej, która wymaga ciągłego oczyszczania i dojrzewania. Znaczące jest akcentowanie przez Franciszka konieczności ciągłego odkrywania trwałości małżeństwa jako „węzła”, który nie powinien kojarzyć się jakimkolwiek narzuceniem lub ciężarem, jest bowiem ,,więzią miłości”. Następca Benedykta XVI kładzie wreszcie nacisk na konieczność rozwijania duszpasterstwa przedmałżeńskiego i duszpasterstwa rodzin, co powinno pomagać nupturientom oraz małżonkom w dojrzewaniu ich wzajemnej miłości, przy czym niezbędna jest tutaj pomoc poradnictwa psychologicznego.
Non-thermal plasma radiation-induced changes in antibiotic susceptibility and protein profile of Staphylococcus aureus
Authors: Rabbani-Esfahani Mehrdad , Ghaderi Lida , Shali Parisa , Ghassempour Alireza , Hosseini Seyed Iman , Aliahmadi Atousa 
Published: September 2023

Background and Objectives: Plasma radiation is a widely used technique for sterilization or decontamination in various industries, as well as in some healthcare settings such as dentistry. The primary aim of this study was to assess the potential of plasma radiation to create a new population of Staphylococcus aureus cells with distinct characteristics that could lead to novel healthcare challenges.
Materials and Methods: A homemade non-thermal plasma apparatus was applied and the effects of plasma treatment on S. aureus ATCC25923 was assessed. Plasma radiation was applied under controlled conditions to ensure that some bacterial cells remained viable. The treatment was repeated 10 times, with each round followed by a recovery phase to collect any surviving bacterial cells. To assess the potential changes in the bacterial population, we examined the antibiotic susceptibility pattern, micro-structural characteristics using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and total protein profile using the ma- trix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) technique.
Results: The experimental results revealed slight variations in the antibiotic susceptibility patterns of certain cell wall agents (imipenem, cephalothin, and cefepime), as well as in the MALDI-TOF spectra. However, no changes were observed in the SEM images.
Conclusion: The insufficient application of non-thermal plasma in bacterial decontamination may lead to physiological changes that could enrich or select certain subpopulations of S. aureus.

Abstract

The capacity to form biofilms forms part of the life history traits of nearly all microorganisms present on earth. In this study, we demonstrate for the first time that the fatal pine pitch canker agent, Fusarium circinatum, can lead a biofilm-like lifestyle with aggregated hyphal bundles wrapped in extracellular matrix (ECM). Our study suggests that F. circinatum biofilms respond to a changing environment, demonstrated by poor and optimal biofilm development under particular abiotic conditions, including temperature and pH. Further analysis revealed that while planktonic cells produced small amounts of ECM per unit of the biomass, heat- and azole-exposed biofilms produced significantly more ECM than non-exposed biofilms. The increased synthesis of ECM in biofilms due to these abiotic factors underscores biofilm importance in response to various stress conditions, demonstrating the adaptability of F. circinatum to changing environments. Interestingly, azole exposure also led to biofilms that were resistant to DNase, which typically uncouples biofilms by penetrating and degrading biofilm extracellular DNA; we propose that DNases were likely hindered from reaching target cells by the ECM barricade, a phenomenon prevalent in most biofilm-forming pathogens of humans. The interplay between antifungal treatment and DNase enzyme suggests a complex relationship between eDNA, ECM, and antifungal agents in F. circinatum biofilms. Therefore, our results show how a phytopathogen’s sessile (biofilm) lifestyle could influence its response to the surrounding environment.

Abstract

The present study investigated the insecticidal efficacy of Diaterra®, a native diatomaceous earth, against two significant stored grain pests, the grain weevil (Sitophilus granariusL., Coleoptera: Curculionidae) and the red flour beetle (Tribolium castaneumHerbst, Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae). To control of insect pests in stores or warehouses, grain industry relies on synthetic insecticides, but they have significant environmental and health risks. Diatomaceous earth offers a natural and environmentally friendly alternative. In addition, it is safe for wildlife, leaves no residues, and effectively controls pests. In the study, different doses (0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 g/m2) of diatomaceous earth were applied on concrete and wooden surface. A mortality of 100.0% was achieved forS. granariuson the wooden surface at a dose of 4g/m2during the 96-hour and subsequent application periods, whereas forT. castaneum, this rate was recorded as 88.9% under the same dose and a 192-hour application period. On the concrete surface, a mortality rate of 100.0% was achieved forS. granariusat a dose of 4g/m2after 120 hours of exposure. In contrast, forT. castaneum, this rate did not exceed 59.5% even with the same dose and a 192-hour application period. Under controlled laboratory conditions, a dose of 4 g/m2of Diaterra® showed efficacy in managingS. granariuspopulations on wooden and concrete surfaces. The desired level of efficacy was not achieved forT. castaneumon either surface type. Based on the data obtained from this study, it can be concluded that prolonged exposure to diatomaceous earth leads to enhanced insecticidal efficacy against bothS. granariusandT. castaneumon different surface types. This study emphasizes the importance of considering application duration and surface type as critical factors in maximizing the effectiveness of diatomaceous earth applications.

Abstract

Bronchoesophageal fistula (BEF) is an anomalous connection between the bronchial tree and the esophagus, which can be either congenital or acquired. This case study presents the clinical scenario of a six-month-old male infant of African descent with a history of recurrent cough and breathing difficulties since birth. The patient had received treatment for pneumonia without improvement. Following a thorough series of investigations, the diagnosis of Bronchoesophageal fistula (BEF) was confirmed prompting the decision to proceed with surgical intervention. The case highlights the importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion to accurately diagnose BEF.
