Association between fatty liver disease and risk of microvascular complications in Type-2 diabetes mellitus: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Shao Jiawei , Zhou Mi , Xie Xiaoqing , Lan Shaobo 
Published: February 2025

Objective: To summarize the existing evidence on the association between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and the probability of microvascular complications in Type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Methods: PubMed, EMBASE and Scopus databases search (from inception until October 31, 2023) was done for reports with cross-sectional, cohort or case-control design that included adult participants with T2DM and a documented NAFLD status. The selected studies were required to report on at least one microvascular outcome. Studies reporting adjusted associations were included. Random-effects models were used for all analysis. The pooled effect sizes for the associations were reported as odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI).
Results: Sixteen studies were analysed. T2DM patients with associated NAFLD had similar risk of neuropathy (OR 1.08, 95% CI: 0.97, 1.21), compared to those without NALFD. NAFLD was associated with slightly lower risk of retinopathy (OR 0.86, 95% CI: 0.75, 0.98; N=10, I2=82.6%) an increased incidence of nephropathy (OR 1.21, 95% CI: 1.14, 1.29; N=12, I2=82.5%), compared to patients with T2DM but no NAFLD.
Conclusion: Diagnosis of NAFLD in patients with T2DM appears to increase the incidence of nephropathy and decrease the risk of retinopathy. Future studies are needed to confirm these observations.

Published: February 2025

The conducted study aimed for the integration of cloud technologies into the educational process to evaluate their influence on different aspects of the professional competence of future doctors. For this, methods of comparative analysis, questionnaire, expert assessment, observation and statistical analysis were used. Results showed that students of the experimental group demonstrated significant improvement in the professional competence of such components as cognitive, motivational-volitional and organizational performance aspects. This confirms the importance of the skill to effectively use digital technologies in both professional and personal life spheres. The use of cloud technologies such as Google Docs, Pbwiki, Sway, Microsoft Azure, and Microsoft Planner led to significant improvements in students’ results. Still, at the beginning, many teachers doubted these tools, although their attitude changed with time. Thus, reconsideration of educational programs to ensure their compliance with world education standards, in particular through the integration of new technologies, contributing to the development of professional competencies is relevant. The scientific novelty of the research is stipulated by the insufficient number of studies devoted to the use of cloud technologies in training future doctors.

AbstractLengthy periods of inactivity are experienced by substitutes during a soccer match, which can decrease muscle temperature, ultimately impacting performance. This study aimed to determine the effects of using a passive heat intervention in both a cold (2°C) and thermoneutral (18°C) environment on simulated soccer performance and perceptual responses. On four occasions, 14 trained male players, completed a pre‐match warm‐up, followed by 45 min of rest. After, players completed a half‐time re‐warm‐up, followed by an additional 15 min of rest, simulating 60 min as a substitute. During these periods, players wore tracksuit bottoms (CON), or heated trousers (HEAT), over soccer attire. Once 60 min concluded, participants performed a Soccer Match Simulation (SMS) to assess physical performance. HEAT improved 15 m sprint performance in 2°C (2.8%; p < 0.001) and 18°C (2.6%; p < 0.001) conditions. Further, in HEAT, a significant trial and time effect on countermovement jump height and repeated sprint performance was observed in both 2 and 18°C. Upon match entry, participants felt warmer (p < 0.01), more comfortable (p < 0.01), and felt an increase in match readiness following HEAT, during both conditions. Applying heated garments before match entry for soccer substitutes positively impacts physical performance and match readiness in thermoneutral and cold environments.

Published: February 2025

AbstractPhysical activity is commonly used for both measuring and treating dysfunction. While preclinical work has been historically biased towards males, the inclusion of both males and females is gaining popularity. With the increasing inclusion of both sexes, it is imperative to determine sex differences in common behavioral assays. This was a secondary analysis of healthy naïve mice to determine baseline sex differences in three activity assays: voluntary wheel running (32 mice), forced treadmill running (178 mice), and open field (88 mice). In voluntary wheel running, females showed greater distance run, running time, bout duration, and speed, but no difference in total bouts. In forced treadmill running, females showed greater time to exhaustion, but no difference in maximum speed attained. In open field, males showed greater active time but no difference in distance and speed over 30 min; however, male mice showed a downward trajectory in distance and speed over the final 20 min of testing, whereas females did not. These data suggest that male mice demonstrate comparable activity intensity to female mice but do not match females' duration of activity, especially for volitional tasks. Researchers utilizing these assays should account for sex differences as they could mask true findings in an experiment.
Study of the electronic stopping power of proton in different materials according to the Bohr and Bethe theories

Published: February 2025

Abstract
In this research, a theoretical study was conducted to calculate the electronic stopping force using the Bohr and Bethe equations for charged particles (protons) located on the elements (13Al, 14Si, 29Cu, 32Ge, 47Ag, 78Pt, 79Au, and 82Pb) within the energy range of [0.01–1000] MeV. When using the Bethe equation to calculate the proton stopping power in the target elements, it was found that the greatest value was at the energy of 0.5 MeV, and a cutoff occurs at energy of 0.1 MeV in Al and 0.5 MeV in Si, Ag, Cu, Ge, Ag, Pt, Au, and Pb, but while using the Bohr equation, it is at an energy of 0.5 MeV in the elements Al, Si, Ag, Cu, Ge, Ag, Pt, Au, and Pb, and the cut occurs at an energy of 0.1 MeV in Al and 0.5 MeV in Si, Ag, Cu, Ge, Ag, Pt, Au, and Pb. The process varies in energy loss due to the nature and type of incident particles; these data can be used in many industrial applications. The stopping power of the Bohr and Bethe equations for the proton shell in these media was compared after programming them in MATLAB and using data from the SRIM 2012 program and data obtained from the PSTAR program. A semi-empirical equation was also extracted as a factor to multiply the Bohr equation so that its results were close to the PSTAR results for the electronic stopping force of the proton in the elements Al and Si within the energy range of 1–1,000 MeV, and the results were consistent with it. The experimental equations were extracted using curve fitting using the MATLAB language. For other elements within the same energy range, the results were consistent with the PSTAR results.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
This article introduces a new terahertz metasurface based on a modified Jerusalem cross. The geometry of the basic structural element is modified, depending on its position in the matrix. The dimension change varies linearly in both orthogonal x and y directions, allowing for smooth resonant frequency tuning as a function of matrix position. The proposed layout enables the tuning of the resonant frequency within the range of 0.44–1.24 THz. The proposed structure consists of three layers: silicon, thin film silicon dioxide, and thin film aluminum. A numerical analysis is performed for the designed metasurface, followed by microtechnology-based fabrication and experimental validation of optimized terahertz metasurfaces. Good agreement of simulated and measured results is obtained. The proposed tunable structure may apply to the evaluation of thin dielectric films.
Blade coating process using hyperbolic tangent model: a perturbation method
Authors: Atif Hafiz Muhammad , Javed Muhammad Asif , Butt Kalsoom 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Blade coating is a technique where the fluid is applied to a surface using a fixed blade, providing economic advantages compared to other coating technologies. It is widely used in producing paper, preserving information, manufacturing photographic films and magnetic storage devices. This article examines the blade coating process using hyperbolic tangent model. With the help of mass and momentum conservation laws, the mathematical equations are obtained and then simplified using lubrication approximation theory (LAT). A well-known perturbation method is used to solve the resulting equation. The graphical results are produced for various values of blade height ratio (k) and Weissenberg number (We) on velocity, pressure and pressure gradient while the blade load is given in tabulated form. It is observed that both parameters k and We are responsible to increase velocity in plane and exponential coaters. It is also interesting to note that hyperbolic tangent model (We = 0.8) predicts 26.92 % lower pressure in comparison to Newtonian model at (x = 0.6706) in plane coater. Further, by increasing the value of k and We, the blade load declines in plane and exponential coaters.
Bohuslav Tablic’s Translation Strategies for Culture-Specific Items from Thomas Percy’s The Hermit of Warkworth
Authors: Helyes Bednáriková Libuša 
Published: February 2025

Translating culture-specific items is a difficult task for translators, because they usually do not have equivalent terms in the target language. In the recent literature of translation studies, there are many categorizations of these items with descriptions of the procedures to translate them. However, there is a lack of description of these procedures from Slovak literary translations of the 19th century. A significant Slovak translator of this period is Bohuslav Tablic (1769–1832). Most of the existing literature on his work concentrates on his writing rather than his translations.This research paper focuses on the translation techniques Tablic used when translating culture-specific items from the poem The Hermit of Warkworth (1771) by Thomas Percy. Tablic’s translation titled Poustevník z Warkworthu (1809) played a significant role not only within his own body of work, but also in the broader context of Slovak literature and literary translation. Serial comparisons of the English source text (The Hermit of Warkworth by Thomas Percy) and two target texts: a Czech translation called Poustevník z Warkworthu (1809) by Tablic and Der Einsiedler von Warkworth (1774) by an unknown German translator, led to the identification of the culture-specific items in the source text and different translation strategies employed by Tablic to translate them.The paper shows that Tablic’s choice of translation strategies depended on the type of culture-specific items being translated: proper names or common words. For proper names, he mostly transfers them with the modification of their spelling to apply the pronunciation rules of the Czech language. The most used translation strategies were preservation techniques: transference with or without changes in the spelling to fit the rules of the Czech language, usage of standardised terms as recognised exoticisms, or functional shifts combined with classifiers for two-words toponyms. Only rarely did he use deletion strategy for proper nouns. Common expressions connected with culture or nature were translated by cultural equivalents or general words and were more frequently left out.Maintaining personal proper names and toponyms only with inevitable spelling changes foreignized the text, but informs its readers about the new places mentioned in the poem. Conversely, employing replacement and omission techniques for translating common expressions describing the nature and culture of the depicted area, led to the forfeiture of information and the domestication of the text, so it could seem more familiar and understandable to Slovak/Czech readers in the 19th century.

Aim. To analyze the multicenter international experience of high-risk protected percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures using the transaortic temporary pulsatile mechanical circulatory support (MCS) device iVAC 2L (PulseCath B. V., Amsterdam, the Netherlands).Material and methods. The pilot prospective-retrospective international multi-center observational study included patients with multivessel and/or complex coronary lesions, indications for coronary revascularization and refusal of the heart team from coronary artery bypass grafting and unprotected PCI due to a high risk of complications. PCI was performed with a temporary MCS using the iVAC 2L device in five clinics in Russia and Belarus.Results. From February 2023 to February 2024, 24 patients were included in the study. The median age was 69,0 years (interquartile range (IQR): 63,5-71,8); 87,5% were men. Twenty patients (83,3%) underwent elective PCI and four patients (16,7%) due to acute coronary syndrome (ACS) as follows: three with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and one with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The patient with STEMI underwent PCI against the background of acute heart failure (AHF). The median MCS time was 66,0 min (IQR: 43,0-98,0). Technical success of PCI was achieved in 100% of patients. The median initial and residual SYNTAX scores were 35,0 (IQR: 25,6-41,4) and 8,0 (IQR: 5,0-17,5), respectively. The median left ventricular ejection fraction before PCI and 7 days after was 44,0% (IQR: 31,0-54,0) and 48,0% (IQR: 36,5-53,5), respectively. In two cases (8,3%), major bleeding from the access site of the MCS device was observed. There were 2 fatal outcomes as follows: during elective PCI due to progression of acute left ventricular failure and in the late period due to septic shock after emergency PCI.Conclusion. PCI with MCP by the iVAC 2L device is an applicable and relatively safe tactic of coronary revascularization in patients with a high risk of complications, including in the conditions of ACS and AHF.

Published: February 2025

Aim. To evaluate the feasibility of using multiparametric liver ultrasound to determine the pathophysiological causes of increased stiffness in patients with cardio-metabolic risks.Material and methods. A study was conducted involving 104 cardiology patients, including 48 men (46,2%) and 56 women (53,8%), aged 49 to 73 years, of Caucasian ethnicity. Inclusion criteria included chronic heart failure stage IIB (II, III functional classes according to NYHA), main and additional criteria of metabolic syndrome containing cardiometabolic risks for the development of metabolically associated fatty liver disease. All patients were examined according to a unified diagnostic algorithm consisting of two stages: Stage 1 — clinical and laboratory assessment, Stage 2 — instrumental assessment using liver ultrasound methods (B-mode, color Doppler imaging, two-dimensional shear wave elastography, quantitative steatometry).Results. A scoring system has been proposed to assess the predominant contribution to liver fibrosis development based on data from multiparametric ultrasound examination of the liver. Total score 0-8: predominant liver involvement — in this case, characteristic signs of liver involvement, such as increased echogenicity and absence of significant venous vessel dilation, are observed. Total score 9-14: combined involvement — the signs include both liver-related changes (e.g., steatosis) and signs of venous congestion. Total score 15-16: predominant cardiovascular involvement — in this case, significant venous vessel dilation and other signs of congestive hepatopathy are the main features, indicating venous congestion as the primary cause of liver changes.Conclusion. Multiparametric ultrasound examination of the liver combined with the developed scoring system can be used to differentiate the causes of increased liver stiffness and the severity of liver steatosis in patients with cardiometabolic risks. Standardization of the ultrasound protocol improves the reproducibility of the method.
Petrography, sedimentology and Neoalpine metamorphism of the Idalp ophiolite, Steinsberg and Idalp formations, Lower Engadine Window, Tyrol (Austria)
Authors: Tropper Peter , Krainer Karl , Frese Ansgar , Raso Gabriel 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The Lower Engadine Window is the only tectonic window in the Eastern Alps in which all three Penninic nappes are exposed. The focus of this study lies on the sedimentologic investigation of the Jurassic Steinsberg and Idalp formations of the Middle Penninic Nappe system, the petrographic investigation of the Idalp ophiolite of the Upper Penninic Nappe system, and on the study of the Neogene metamorphism of these rocks. The Steinsberg Formation, composed of carbonate sediments rich in crinoid fragments (“encrinites”), accumulated in a shallow, normal marine depositional setting on the shelf of the Iberia-Briançonnais microcontinent. Overlying sediments of the Idalp Formation, represented by shale and intercalated sandstone, are interpreted to be of a deeper marine shelf setting. Rocks of the Idalp ophiolite represent fragments of the oceanic crust of the Piemont-Liguria Ocean. The obtained multi–equilibrium P-T estimates using the program THERMOCALC v.3.33 from two metagabbro samples (amphibole + chlorite + pumpellyite + albite + quartz ± muscovite ± clinopyroxene) yield pressures of 0.63 to 0.95 GPa and temperatures between 330 °C and 390 °C (Mode-1 invariant points), 0.70 to 0.80 GPa and temperatures between 340 °C and 360 °C (Mode-2 with and without clinopyroxene). These data are in good agreement with the data of Höck et al. (2004) which are 0.7–0.9 GPa at approx. 350 °C. For the first time T-data of 330 ± 25 °C were obtained from a calcareous sandstone of the Idalp Formation of the Middle Penninic Nappe system using calcite-dolomite geothermometry. The P-T results indicate that the Idalp ophiolite underwent the Neoalpine regional metamorphism at low-T/high-P at the transition from upper greenschist-to blueschist-facies and that the Idalp Formation was also characterized by this low-T metamorphism. This metamorphic overprint was then followed by uplift on the European shelf and the uplift and later exhumation of the rocks of the Idalp ophiolite, and sedimentary rocks of the Steinsberg- and Idalp formations.

Published: February 2025

Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a rare, progressive cerebrovascular disorder characterised by narrowing the internal carotid artery (ICA) branches and forming fragile, abnormal collateral vessels. Patients with this condition often present with symptoms of cerebral ischemia or haemorrhage, and the disease typically follows a progressive course. Moyamoya derives its roots from Japanese literature meaning cloud or haze. Here we discuss a 23-year-old male who presented to the emergency with the chief complaint of a new-onset single episode of generalized tonic-clonic seizure. On further evaluation found to have MMD and cerebral revascularisation led to a favourable outcome.
