Objective: This study aims to assess the ability and the safety of fasting among patients who underwent PPCI within two specified periods.
Methods: This study was a Retrospective Cohort Study with a convenience sample size of 200 consecutive patients who were divided into two groups based on the duration of their last primary PCI for an attack of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and the start of the month of Ramadan. The patients were admitted to the Causality Department of the Surgical Specialty Hospital-Cardiac Center, Erbil/Iraq. Group I included patients undergone PPCI 6 weeks or less before the start of Ramadan while group II included patients undergone PPCI for more than 6 weeks before the start of the fasting month of Ramadan. Furthermore, each of these two groups was subdivided based on their ability to complete the Ramadan Intermittent Fasting (RIF) with no recurring or worsening of symptoms into those who fasted the whole Ramadan month, those who did not fast, those who could not continue fasting, and those who passed away. At the end of the RIF, patients’ symptoms were recorded along with their status according to the New York Heart Association (NYHA).
Results: In a comparison of the proportion of fasting and non-fasting patients among the two groups, 14% in group I were able to complete the 30 days of intermittent fasting during the Ramadan month while this percentage in group II was 54% (P-value=0.001). Among our findings, there were significant associations between post-PCI symptoms (exertional shortness of breath and palpitations) and RIF (P-values=0.001and P-values=0.004, respectively). With regards to New York Heart Association (NYHA) classifications assessment, Group I had a higher proportion of patients classified as Class III and Class IV compared to Group II (P-value=0.001) meaning patients were more symptomatic during the lesser interval between the start of the fasting month and the primary PCI.
Conclusion: Patients with PPCI within the first 6 weeks after the procedure, as well as patients with NYHA class III, are at a higher risk for health deterioration and are advised not to observe RIF.

<p><strong>Objective:</strong> Examine the ten-year trend in the prevalence and treatment of diabetic macular edema (DME) and vision-threatening diabetic retinopathy (VTDR) among commercially insured adults with diabetes.</p>
<p><strong>Research Design and Methods</strong>: We analyzed the ten-year trend (2009–2018) in healthcare claims for adults 18–64 years using the IBM® MarketScan® Database, a national convenience sample of employer-sponsored health insurance. We included patients continuously enrolled in commercial fee-for-service health insurance for 24 months who had a diabetes ICD-9/10-CM code on ≥1 inpatient or ≥2 different day outpatient claims in the index year or previous calendar year. We used diagnosis and procedure codes to calculate the annual prevalence of patients with ≥1 claims for: 1) <em>any DME</em>, 2) either <em>DME/VTDR</em>, and 3) anti-vascular endothelial growth factor injections [anti-VEGF] and laser photocoagulation treatment, stratified by <em>any DME</em>, <em>VTDR with DME</em>, and <em>VTDR without DME</em>. We calculated Average Annual Percent Change (AAPC).</p>
<p><strong>Results</strong>: From 2009–2018, there was an increase in the annual prevalence of patients with <em>DME/VTDR</em> (2.1% to 3.4%; AAPC=7.5%; p<0.001) and <em>any DME</em> (0.7% to 2.6%; AAPC=19.8%; p<0.001). There were sex differences in the annual prevalence of <em>DME/VTDR</em> and <em>any DME</em>, with males having a higher prevalence than females. Annual claims for anti-VEGF increased among those with <em>any DME</em> (327%) and <em>VTDR with DME</em> (206%); laser photocoagulation decreased among patients with <em>any DME </em>(-68%), <em>VTDR with DME </em>(-54%), and <em>VTDR without DME</em> (-62%). </p>
<p><strong>Conclusions</strong>: Annual claims for <em>DME/VTDR</em> and anti-VEGF injections increased while laser photocoagulation decreased among commercially insured adults with diabetes.</p>

Abstract
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) may lead to several changes in the skin, and some of these may influence the skin impedance spectrum. In the present study we have developed a prototype solution for skin impedance spectroscopy at selected skin sites (big toe pulp, heel and toe ball) that was tested in a pilot study on five patients with DPN and five healthy controls. At the big toe, most of the controls had markedly lower impedance than the DPN group, especially in the range of 1-100 kHz. The separation between the groups seems to be weaker at the heel and weakest at the toeball. The results may indicate that monitoring of the skin impedance spectrum may be a method for detection of skin changes associated with DPN, encouraging further studies with the big toe sensor in particular.
Development of a small footprint device for measuring electrodermal activity in the palm of the hand
Authors: Aukrust Åsmund , Foseid Leah Marie , Holm Kristiane 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
This paper describes the proof of concept for a wearable device that measures skin conductance, to provide a way of quantifying an individual’s physiological stress response to external stimuli. Important goals of the project were to have reliable measurements that correlate with the external stimuli, as well as a small footprint and low power consumption to facilitate battery powered operation.
These goals were accomplished using a STM32L476 micro-controller to generate an AC sine voltage across two solid gel electrodes placed in the palm of the hand, converting the resulting current to a voltage with a trans-impedance amplifier, which was then sampled and processed digitally in a lock-in amplifier, to eliminate signals differing from the desired (reference) frequency and phase. The output of the lock-in amplifier represents the skin conductance and was transmitted over USB to a computer with software for serial capture.

Emigracja a proces uczenia się małżonków
Authors: Kupis Karolina , Kalus Alicja Maria , Mazurek Emilia 
Published: January 2023

Wstąpienie Polski do struktur Unii Europejskiej zapoczątkowało emigrację poakcesyjną Polaków, dla której charakterystyczne było pojawienie się nowych kierunków wyjazdów emigracyjnych. Jednym z najbardziej popularnych stała się Wielka Brytania. Wyjazd emigracyjny jest wydarzeniem znaczącym w biografii człowieka i całej jego rodziny. W świetle koncepcji Agnieszki Bron (2000, 2006), wiąże się on z licznymi napięciami, ambiwalencją, poczuciem bezradności i zawieszenia (tzw. floating), a jednocześnie jest wydarzeniem o potencjale edukacyjnym. Celem badań uczyniono wyjaśnienie procesu uczenia się małżonków doświadczających emigracji. Przeprowadzono badania biograficzne z wykorzystaniem autobiograficznego wywiadu narracyjnego i analizy dokumentów osobistych. W badaniach wzięło udział 10 diad małżeńskich przebywających na emigracji długookresowej w Wielkiej Brytanii. W wyniku analizy materiału empirycznego wyróżniono następujące kategorie doświadczeń wpisujące się we floating: zaskoczenie zastaną rzeczywistością, poczucie zagubienia i osamotnienia, niepewność co do słuszności podjętej decyzji, utrata poczucia bezpieczeństwa, podejmowanie prób radzenia sobie z kryzysem, wybór strategii radzenia sobie i uczenia się. Jednak nie w każdej narracji autobiograficznej występują wszystkie z wyróżnionych kategorii. W porównaniu z koncepcją A. Bron struktura floating w badanych biografiach składa się z większej liczby elementów, a jednocześnie traci swą etapowość, staje się rozmyta, ma charakter mozaikowy. Zidentyfikowano także dziesięć strategii radzenia sobie z poczuciem zawieszenia, nisko bądź wysoko zorientowanych na jedną z kultur: kraju przyjmującego lub kraju macierzystego. Strategie te w większości sprzyjały poznawaniu nowej kultury. Natomiast samo uczenie się od początku pobytu na emigracji było postrzegane jako wartość sprzyjająca adaptacji do życia w nowych uwarunkowaniach społeczno-kulturowych.
Mechanical thrombectomy for acute paradoxical cerebral embolism due to pulmonary arteriovenous malformation: A case report and review of literature
Authors: Inoue Satoshi , Fujita Atsushi , Kurihara Eiji , Sasayama Takashi 
Published: January 2023

Background:
We report a case of acute occlusion of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) due to pulmonary arteriovenous malformation (PAVM), for which mechanical thrombectomy was performed and a good outcome was achieved.

Case Description:
A 59-year-old woman presented with severe right hemiplegia and dysarthria, and a National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score of 10. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) diffusion-weighted imaging revealed high-signal areas in the left lenticular nucleus to the corona radiata, and right temporal lobe. Magnetic resonance angiography revealed the left MCA occlusion. Chest plain computed tomography (CT) revealed PAVM in the lower lobe of the left lung. Transvenous thrombolytic therapy was started 2 h after onset, and mechanical cerebral thrombectomy was performed with an aspiration catheter and stent retriever. A red thrombus was retrieved in one pass and complete recanalization was achieved. After treatment, her symptoms improved markedly, but a symptomatic intracerebral hematoma was observed in the contralateral right temporal lobe. The patient underwent embolization for PAVM on day 24 and was transferred for rehabilitation (NIHSS score = 2).

Conclusion:
Although rare, PAVM is a treatable cause of stroke in relatively young adults; thus, it is important to keep in mind the possibility of its presence.

Наследственные нарушения соединительной ткани - это обширная группа генетически и клинически гетерогенных заболеваний, развитие которых обусловлено мутациями генов, ответственных за синтез белков внеклеточного матрикса или участвующих в морфогенезе соединительной ткани. Данная статья посвящена результатам поиска молекулярно-генетических причин редких наследственных заболеваний соединительной ткани - синдрома Элерса-Данло, несовершенного остеогенеза и остеопетроза. Диагностика этих заболеваний осложняется сходством симптомов и степенью выраженности клинических проявлений. Представленные результаты расширят представление о молекулярном патогенезе наследственных болезней соединительной ткани и позволяют оптимизировать диагностику данной группы заболеваний, тактику медико-генетического консультирования отягощенных семей и оказания им медицинской помощи.
Hereditary connective tissue diseases are a large group of genetically and clinically heterogeneous diseases whose development is caused by mutations in the genes responsible for the synthesis of extracellular matrix proteins or involved in connective tissue morphogenesis. This article is devoted to the results of the search for the molecular genetic causes of the rare hereditary connective tissue diseases: Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, osteogenesis imperfecta and osteopetrosis. Diagnosis of these pathologies is difficult because of the similarity of symptoms and their clinical manifestations. The presented results will expand the understanding of the pathogenesis and will allow to optimize the diagnosis of these syndromes, to determine the tactics of medical and genetic counseling of burdened families by both clinical geneticists, orphan disease specialists, and general practitioners, family medicine specialists, and general practitioners.

На сегодняшний день не существует нейропротекторных препаратов для лечения распространённого нейродегенеративного заболевания болезни Паркинсона (БП). Наиболее перспективной для разработки тагретной терапии считается форма БП, ассоциированная с мутациями в гене GBA (GBA-БП), как самая распространенная форма БП с известной этиологией. Мутации в гене GBA, кодирующем фермент глюкоцереброзидазу (GCase), приводят к снижению активности данного фермента. Ранее было показано, что ингибирование киназной активности LRRK2 ингибитором MLi-2 приводит к увеличению активности GCase. В данном исследовании мы впервые показали влияние ингибитора киназной активности LRRK2 MLi-2 не только на активность GCase, но и на активность других лизосомных ферментов в первичной культуре макрофагов периферической крови пациентов не только с LRRK2-ассоциированной БП (LRRK2-БП), но и с GBA-БП.
To date, there are no neuroprotective drugs for the common neurodegenerative disease, Parkinson’s disease (PD). PD associated with mutations in the GBA gene (GBA-PD) is the most common form of PD with a known etiology. GBA-PD is considered the most promising for the development of therapy for PD. Mutations in the GBA gene encoding the enzyme glucocerebrosidase (GCase) lead to a decrease in the activity of this enzyme. Previously, it was shown that inhibition of LRRK2 kinase activity by MLi-2 inhibitor leads to an increase in GCase activity. In this study, we showed for the first time the effect of the LRRK2 kinase activity inhibitor MLi-2 not only on the activity of GCase, but also on the activity of other lysosomal enzymes in the primary culture of peripheral blood macrophages of patients with LRRK2-associated PD (LRRK2-PD) and GBA-PD.

Published: January 2023

Расчет теплопоступлений через ограждения является важной частью задачи прогнозирования летнего теплового режима здания под прозрачным куполом, интерес к строительству которых в северных регионах возрос в последнее время. В работе рассмотрена относительно простая, пригодная для инженерных расчетов модель теплопередачи через ограждающую конструкцию с полупрозрачным экраном, позволяющую учесть парниковый эффект. Для верификации модели было проведено сравнение расчетных и экспериментальных данных и получено их хорошее согласие, что подтверждает работоспособность предложенной модели. Показано, что наличие полупрозрачного экрана из-за парникового эффекта значительно изменяет температуру стены здания под куполом и величину теплового потока, откуда следует важность учета таких факторов, как оптические свойства экрана, температура небесного свода и других климатических факторов при расчете теплового режима купольных систем.
The evaluation of heat input through fences is an important part of the task of predicting the summer thermal regime of a building under a transparent dome, the interest in the construction of which in the northern regions has increased recently. In this work, a relatively simple model for engineering calculations of heat transfer through a building envelope with a translucent screen, which allows to take into account the greenhouse effect, is considered. The model has been verified by comparing the calculated and experimental data and their good agreement has been obtained, which confirms the performance of the proposed model. It is shown that the presence of a translucent screen due to the greenhouse effect significantly changes the temperature of the building wall under the dome and the value of heat flux, which implies the importance of taking into account such factors as the optical properties of the screen, the temperature of the sky, and other climatic factors when calculating the thermal regime of dome systems.

Published: January 2023

The new normal era during the COVID-19 pandemic has presented opportunities and challenges for SMEs. This study aimed to determine the effects of absorptive capacity and innovation capability on business performance. The research involved 189 creative SMEs owners in Malang City. The sampling technique uses proportional random sampling. Data were collected by distributing questionnaires to respondents. The data analysis used partial least squares using high-order construction. The results showed that absorptive capacity significantly affects business performance, and absorptive capacity significantly affects innovation capability. However, innovation capability had no significant effect on business performance. Innovation capability has also not been proven to influence Absorptive Capacity and Business Performance indirectly. The practical implication is that SMEs owners should develop the absorptive capacity to reach, assimilate, and acquire new knowledge to achieve better SMEs performance. Simultaneously, innovation capability does not automatically improve SMEs' performance. SMEs need extra effort to produce innovations that are rare, unique, and difficult to imitate to survive the new normal era. JEL : D81, M13, O31.ABSTRAKEra new normal di masa pandemi COVID-19 menghadirkan peluang dan tantangan bagi UMKM.

Teknik pengambilan sampel menggunakan proportional random sampling. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan menyebarkan kuesioner kepada responden. Analisis data menggunakan partial least squares using high-order construction. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa absorptive capacity berpengaruh signifikan terhadap business performance, dan business performance berpengaruh signifikan terhadap innovation capability. Namun, innovation capability tidak berpengaruh signifikan terhadap business performance. Innovation capability juga belum terbukti mempengaruhi absorptive capacity dan business performance secara tidak langsung. Implikasi praktisnya, pemilik UMKM harus mengembangkan absorptive capacity untuk menjangkau, mengasimilasi, dan memperoleh pengetahuan baru untuk mencapai kinerja UMKM yang lebih baik. Secara bersamaan, innovation capability tidak secara otomatis meningkatkan kinerja UMKM. UMKM membutuhkan upaya ekstra untuk menghasilkan inovasi yang langka, unik, dan sulit ditiru untuk bertahan di era normal yang baru.Kata Kunci : absorptive capacity, innovation capability, business performance, SMEs, new normal.
