PurposeThe best way to reduce seroma formation after laparoscopic indirect hernia repair is debated. We noticed that internal ring defect closure in laparoscopic mesh hernioplasty could provide promising outcomes with an effect on diminishing seroma formation. We introduce our closure technique and report our experience.MethodsThis prospective study was conducted from May 2019 to May 2021. Patients with European Hernia Society classification L3 indirect or scrotal hernia were recruited and underwent laparoscopic transabdominal patch plasty (TAPP). Hernia defect closure was performed before mesh deployment. The primary outcomes were seroma formation, postoperative pain, and hernia recurrence. Perioperative data and postoperative complications were also recorded.ResultsConsecutive 77 patients with 89 indirect hernias (including 51 scrotal hernias) were recruited in two regional tertiary hospitals. All operations were successful without open conversion. The mean size of the hernia defect was 3.7 ± 0.5 cm (range, 2.5–5.0 cm). The mean operative time for each hernia repair (peritoneum to peritoneum) was 48.3 ± 10.8 min (range, 33–72 min), and the mean time required for internal ring closure was 6.7 ± 2.2 min (range, 4–10 min). Intraoperative bleeding was minimal. The mean visual analog scale pain score at rest on the first postoperative day was 2.2 (range, 1–4). The average postoperative length of hospital stay was 18 h (range, 14–46 h). During a mean follow-up period of 9.4 months (range, 3–23 months), no hernia recurrence or chronic pain were noted. Seroma formation was detected on six sides of unilateral hernias (6.7%) on postoperative day 7, with a mean volume of 45.8 ml (range, 24–80 ml). All seromas were mild and resolved spontaneously within 3 months, with no need for evacuation or other treatment and without major impact on the final outcome.ConclusionsDefect closure in laparoscopic mesh hernioplasty for large indirect hernias is safe and feasible and can significantly reduce postoperative seroma formation and relative complications. This approach is recommended in large indirect or scrotal hernia repair.

Background: Medication nonadherence to immunosuppressants is a well-known risk factor for suboptimal health outcomes in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs). This study examined the relationship between illness perceptions and medication nonadherence in prevalent Dutch KTRs and whether this relationship depended on post-transplant time.Methods: Eligible KTRs transplanted in Leiden University Medical Center were invited for this cross-sectional study. The illness perceptions and medication nonadherence were measured via validated questionnaires. Associations between illness perceptions and medication nonadherence were investigated using multivariable logistic regression models.Results: For the study, 627 participating KTRs were analyzed. 203 (32.4%) KTRs were considered nonadherent to their immunosuppressants with “taking medication more than 2 h from the prescribed dosing time” as the most prevalent nonadherent behaviour (n = 171; 27.3%). Three illness perceptions were significantly associated with medication nonadherence: illness identity (adjusted odds ratio [ORadj] = 1.07; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.00–1.14), concern (ORadj = 1.07; 95%CI,1.00–1.14), and illness coherence (ORadj = 1.11; 95%CI,1.01–1.22). The relationships between illness perceptions and medication nonadherence did not differ depending on post-transplant time (p-values ranged from 0.48 to 0.96).Conclusion: Stronger negative illness perceptions are associated with medication nonadherence to immunosuppressants. Targeting negative illness perceptions by means of psychoeducational interventions could optimize medication adherence and consequently improve health outcomes in KTRs.

Previous analyses in pediatric heart transplant (HT) recipients using weight or height have not found donor-recipient size-mismatch to be associated with post-transplant mortality. A recent study in 3,215 normal US children developed an equation for left ventricular (LV) mass using body surface area (BSA). We assessed whether donor-recipient size match using predicted LV mass (PLM) is associated with post-transplant in-hospital mortality or 1-year graft survival. We identified 4,717 children &lt;18 yrs old who received primary HT in the US during 01/2000 to 03/2015 and divided them into five groups [10%, 10%, 60% (reference group), 10% and 10%, respectively] with increasing donor-recipient PLM ratio. In adjusted analysis, group 1 children (PLM ratio ≤.90) were at higher risk of post-transplant in-hospital mortality [Odds Ratio (OR) 1.55, 95% CI 1.04, 2.31]. This association of the most undersized donors with recipient in-hospital mortality was similar when donor-recipient weight ratio&lt;.88 or BSA ratio&lt;.92 (lowest decile) were used instead. There was no difference in 1-year graft survival among groups. Utilizing donors with donor-recipient PLM ratio ≤.90 is associated with higher risk of early post-transplant mortality in pediatric HT recipients. However, this metric is not superior to donor-recipient weight ratio or BSA ratio for assessing size match.

Published: February 2022

The search for new sources of plant protein for food and animal feed is driven by an increasing demand in developing countries and the interest in healthy alternatives to animal protein. Seeds from 23 different wild legumes belonging to tribes Gallegeae, Trifolieae, and Loteae were collected in southern Spain and their total amino acid composition was analyzed, by reverse phase-high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC), in order to explore their nutritional value. Protein content in the seeds ranged from 15.5% in Tripodium tetraphyllum to 37.9% and 41.3% in Medicago minima and Medicago polymorpha, respectively. Species belonging to tribe Trifolieae, such as Melilotus elegans and Trifolium spp., showed the most equilibrated amino acid composition and the best theoretical nutritional values, although all species were deficient in sulfur amino acids. The amino acid composition of the seeds from some of these legumes was characterized by high levels of the anticancer non-proteic amino acid canavanine This amino acid was found free in the seeds from some of the species belonging to each of the three tribes included in the present work. Astragalus pelecinus in tribe Gallegea, Trifolium angustifolium in tribe Trifolieae, and Anthyllis vulneraria in tribe Loteae have 3.2%, 3.7%, and 7.2% canavanine, respectively. Seeds from Anthyllis vulneraria, Hymenocarpus lotoides, and Hymenocarpos cornicina have the highest contents in canavanine overall. In conclusion, the seeds from some of these legumes could be used for human consumption and for feeding animals because they contain protein of good nutritional quality. These plants could be useful in domestication and breeding programs for production of new varieties with improved nutritional and functional properties. In addition, some of these species may be of interest as a source of the bioactive compound canavanine.

Astragalus section Hymenostegis is one of the important characteristic elements of thorn-cushion formations in the Irano-Turanian floristic region. In this paper, we examined the chromosome number of 17 species (15 new reports) and provide estimates of genome size for 62 individuals belonging to 38 taxa of A. sect. Hymenostegis, some species outside this section, plus two Oxytropis species. Based on chromosome counts 11 species were found to be diploid (2n = 16), four species tetraploid (2n = 32) and two taxa hexaploid (2n = 48). From genome size measurements on silica-gel dried material, three ploidy levels (2x, 4x and 6x) were inferred, with a majority of species being diploid. The 2C values reach from 2.07 pg in diploid Astragalus zohrabi to 7.16 pg in hexaploid A. rubrostriatus. We found indications that species might occur with different cytotypes. A phylogenetic framework using nrDNA ITS sequences was constructed to understand the evolution of ploidy changes and genome sizes. It showed that genome size values among the studied taxa differ only slightly within ploidy levels and are nearly constant within most species and groups of closely related taxa within the genus Astragalus. The results of this study show that there is a rather strong correlation between genome sizes and chromosome numbers in sect. Hymenostegis. The resolution of the ITS-based phylogenetic tree is too low to infer evolutionary or environmental correlations of genome size differences. Polyploidization seems to contribute to the high species number in Astragalus, however, in sect. Hymenostegis it is not the main driver of speciation.

According to the analysis of trends in the use and development of missile weapons, it is shown that in the coming decades such weapons (missile, anti-aircraft missile, anti-ship systems) will remain one of the main units of the armed forces of the advanced countries. At the same time, in the conditions of independent Ukraine there is a need to create its own production of appropriate samples in a “closed cycle”. The synthesis of such weapons includes conducting comprehensive research on the principles of construction and operation of their basic elements, namely: substantiation of algorithms for launch equipment, control systems and navigation of missiles. The article deals with an example of a general solution to the problem.

Published: February 2022

Результати експериментальних досліджень, викладених у відомих роботах, засвідчили, що у високотемпературному надпровіднику під дією вхідного НВЧ-сигналу, коли створюється магнітне поле, рівень якого перевищує пороговий (Н>Hкр2), відбувається фазовий перехід надпровідника з надпровідного S в нормальний (резистивний) стан N (так званий процес перемикання (переключення)). Встановлено, що можливо управляти амплітудно-частотною характеристикою надпровідника напругою або струмом, що протікає. Тобто, можливо будувати перемикачі-обмежувачі на основі надпровідників, які знайдуть застосування у антенах, вхідних колах охолоджуваних надвисокочастотних трактів тощо.Найбільш практичними є пристрої на основі високотемпературних надпровідників, тому що їх робоча температура − це температура рідкого азоту, а швидкість перемикання становить менше 1 наносекунди. Однак, використання надпровідних систем потребує врахування питань сумісності їх зі штатними пристроями та урахування іншої низки особливостей будови НВЧ систем. Тобто, є сенс спершу окремо проаналізувати функціонування таких перемикачів, а потім в структурі будови штатної НВЧ системи.У статті проводиться дослідження властивостей лише окремих перемикачів (фільтрів вимикачів та обмежувачів) на основі високотемпературних надпровідних тонких плівок з метою вироблення принципів та критеріїв, які можуть бути основою здійснення автоматизованого проєктування розглянутих швидкодіючих надпровідних НВЧ-пристроїв.Для вирішення поставленої розрахункової задачі використовується алгоритм аналізу резонансних систем комутації та визначаються відповідні параме-три та критерії: коефіцієнти пропускання, модуляції, загасання; параметр якості; резонансні характеристики (частота, смуга, добротність).Результати розрахунків свідчать про необхідність застосування в сучасних НВЧ системах високотемпературних надпровідних швидкодіючих широкосмугових пристроїв (фазообертачів, обмежувачів, ліній затримки, комутаторів, тощо), що дозволить зменшити втрати енергії в приймально-передавальному тракті, збільшити швидкість управління променем антени в просторі, збільшити відношення сигнал-шум, підвищити захисні властивості прийомних тракту від електромагнітної поразки.У статті приведені результати розрахунків характеристик перемикачів, виконаних на основі надпровідникових мікрополоскових ліній передачі. Показана можливість побудови швидкодіючих (час спрацьовування менше одиниць наносекунд) перемикачів на основі надпровідності плівок в діапазоні частот 1 – 10 ГГц з часовими (швидкодія спрацьовування, час відновлення) енергетичними параметрами (енергії переключення 10-10 Дж) та резонансними характеристиками (частота, смуга, добротність), які значно кращі відповідних параметрів аналогічних пристроїв на основі напівпровідників.

Published: February 2022

Abstract
Biophotons (i.e. photons emitted from living organisms) cause ultra-weak luminescence, induced by reactive oxygen species generated by redox reactions during intracellular respiration. Similarly, regarding the bio-application of atmospheric-pressure plasma in plasma medicine, the oxidative stress reaction by reactive species is involved in the proliferation and cell death of living tissues. We performed non-contact and non-invasive measurements of biophotons released from cultured cells immediately after plasma irradiation. Due to oxidative stress caused by reactive species generated by plasma irradiation, the release of biophotons from the cells and the production of nitric oxide were confirmed.

Published: February 2022

Abstract
The new differential signal balancer embedded in the metal wiring layer of silicon LSI having increased wiring density and improved characteristics is developed. An internal delay line circuit is stacked vertically to obtain a larger delay time than the extended horizontally structure, and the two inductors for common-mode noise rejection are configured with a stacked bifilar winding structure to obtain higher effective coupling and lower parasitic resistance. Compared to the previous design, the common-mode rejection ratios at 2.4 GHz and 5.4 GHz have been improved by 4.0 dB and 4.6 dB in a smaller area of 120 × 230 μm2, respectively.

Published: February 2022

Aim. The presented study aims to identify methodological problems in the current exchange legislation of the Russian Federation and to substantiate the objective need for the development of a relevant legal framework for domestic exchange control.Tasks. The authors analyze the regulations of the Federal Law No. 173-FZ of December 10, 2003 on exchange regulation and exchange control, which establish the conceptual framework, purpose, and scope of the legal regulator, the principles of exchange control on the basis of the proposed approaches to the consideration of current exchange control principles.Methods. This study uses general scientific methods of cognition in various aspects to substantiate approaches to analyzing the legal principles of exchange control for the purpose of identifying methodological problems in the current exchange legislation of the Russian Federation.Results. Having analyzed the provisions of the Federal Law No. 173-FZ of December 10, 2003 on exchange regulation and exchange control as a special basic legislative instrument for exchange control, the authors identify the main methodological problems of modern domestic exchange control: the immaturity of the conceptual framework, which leads to the uncertain content of its regulations; the declarative nature of regulations establishing the purpose, scope, and principles of exchange control, which is unacceptable for a legal instrument; the lack of proper consistency between provisions establishing the fundamentals of exchange control and norms regulating the implementation of exchange transactions.Conclusions. The lack of a proper conceptual framework for exchange legislation as defined and demanded by legal reality is an obstacle to analyzing the array of regulations that make up the legal exchange regulator, but it also serves as a basis for the formation of methodological problems in the modern domestic exchange legislation.

The paired A–Not A design within signal detection theory: Description, differentiation, power analysis and application
Authors: Düvel Nina , Kopiez Reinhard 
Published: February 2022

AbstractSignal detection theory gives a framework for determining how well participants can discriminate between two types of stimuli. This article first examines similarities and differences of forced-choice and A–Not A designs (also known as the yes-no or one-interval). Then it focuses on the latter, in which participants have to classify stimuli, presented to them one at a time, as belonging to one of two possible response categories. The A–Not A task can be, on a first level, replicated or non-replicated, and the sub-design for each can be, on a second level, either a monadic, a mixed, or a paired design. These combinations are explained, and the present article then focuses on the both the non-replicated and replicated paired A–Not A task. Data structure, descriptive statistics, inference statistics, and effect sizes are explained in general and based on example data (Düvel et al., 2020). Documents for the data analysis are given in an extensive online supplement. Furthermore, the important question of statistical power and required sample size is addressed, and several means for the calculation are explained. The authors suggest a standardized procedure for planning, conducting, and evaluating a study employing an A–Not A design.
