Evidence shows that physical exercise is important in maintaining an efficient immune system during ageing. However, there are few studies that test the impact of aquatic exercise programs on the immune system. This study aims to analyze the impact of different physical exercise programs in aquatic environment on the systemic hematological and inflammatory markers of community dwelling elderly. One hundred and two elderly were randomly allocated into four groups: a continuous aerobic exercise group (AerG) (n = 25, 71.44 ± 4.84 years); an interval aerobic exercise group (IntG) (n = 28, 72.64 ± 5.22 years); a combined exercise group (ComG) (n = 29, 71.90 ± 5.67 years); a control group (CG) (n = 20, 73.60 ± 5.25 years). The AerG, IntG and ComG participants took part in three different aquatic exercise programs over a 28-weeks period. The CG participants maintained their usual routines during the same time period. Blood samples were collected from all participants in order to access hematologic indicators, by means of cell count, and the inflammatory profile by ELISA. After 28 weeks, significant differences were found for several hematologic variables in the AerG, IntG and ComG with increases in mean corpuscular hemoglobulin (MCH), mean corpuscular hemoglobulin concentration (MCHC), and hemoglobulin (Hb). Decreases in TNF-α levels were found for all exercising groups. An increase in IL-10 levels, granulocytes to lymphocytes ratio (GLR) and a decrease in the TNF-α/IL-10 ratio, were found for the IntG. For the ComG decreases were also found for the TNF-α, IL-1ß/IL-1ra ratios. The present study suggests that aquatic exercise programs were able to improve the inflammatory profile of the participants. Those in the exercise intervention groups showed a shift towards lower pro-inflammatory levels while the non-exercising group showed the opposite behaviour. The IntG and the ComG aquatic exercise programs appeared to be more effective than the AerG program in decreasing chronic low-grade inflammation by mediating the production of higher levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines. However, the differences found between the exercising groups were small and may not have clinical significance.
Social determinants and adherence to recommended COVID-19 vaccination among the Arab ethnic minority: A syndemics framework
Authors: Amit Aharon Anat 
Published: September 2022

BackgroundSince the mass vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 was launched in Israel, the Arab ethnicity minority had lower vaccine uptake. The syndemics theory suggests a closely interrelated complex of health and social crises among vulnerable societies results in an increased disease burden or in more adverse health conditions. Syndemics may explain the health disparities between different people or communities. Likewise, acculturation was found to be associated with different health outcomes among minority populations. The purpose of the study is to explore the association between syndemic construct, acculturation style, and adherence to recommended COVID-19 vaccination among the Arab ethnicity in Israel.MethodsA cross-sectional study among 305 participants who completed a self-report questionnaire. Syndemic construct (syndemics score and syndemics severity) was calculated from the participants' health behavior index, self-rated health status, and adherence to flu vaccination. Four acculturation strategies were defined according to Barry's acculturation model: assimilation, integration, separation, and marginalization style. Linear regression (stepwise method) was conducted to determine the explanatory factors for COVID-19 vaccine adherence.ResultsAssimilation and separation acculturation styles and syndemics severity were significantly associated with higher adherence to the recommended COVID-19 vaccination (B = 1.12, 95%CI = 0.34–1.98; B = 0.45, 95%CI = 0.10–0.80; B = 0.18, 95%CI = 0.09–0.28; respectively). The explained variance of the model (R2) was 19.9%.ConclusionSyndemics severity, assimilation and separation acculturation styles were associated with higher adherence to recommended COVID-19 vaccination in the Israeli Arab minority population. Syndemics score was not associated with recommended COVID-19 vaccination. To encourage COVID-19 vaccination among minority communities, campaigns should be tailored to the social determinants in a sensitive and individualized manner.
Percutaneous endoscopic creation of a neoinfundibulum for a calyceal diverticulum: A case report and review of the literature

Published: September 2022

IntroductionCalyceal diverticula (CD) are cystic structures within the renal parenchyma that likely result from inappropriate interaction between the ureteric bud and metanephric blastema during development and, if obstructed, may cause problems that include flank pain, urinary tract infections, gross hematuria, or nephrolithiasis. Herein, we present the results of percutaneous management of an obstructed calyceal diverticulum causing recurrent flank pain and infections in a 17-year-old girl.Case summaryThe patient initially presented with febrile pyelonephritis, at which time an ultrasound was concerned about an abscess versus an infected cyst. She underwent percutaneous drain placement with IV antibiotics and improved. Three years later, she re-presented with similar symptoms. After a similar treatment course, a sinogram revealed communication of the cystic-appearing lesion with the proximal ureter, confirming a diagnosis of a calyceal diverticulum. The patient opted for endoscopic management. An initial attempt at ureteroscopy was unsuccessful due to both the small ureteral caliber as well as the stenotic infundibular os. A repeat attempt at percutaneous management revealed a stenotic infundibulum that could not accommodate a wire. A holmium laser fiber was used to create a neoinfundibulum from the diverticulum to the renal pelvis adjacent to the stenotic infundibular os. Follow-up retrograde pyelography and ultrasonography confirmed an interval decrease in size of the infundibulum, and the patient’s infectious symptoms and pain resolved.DiscussionCD is a rare anomaly and is infrequently reported in the pediatric population. Percutaneous management of CD in adults has been well described in the literature. Direct percutaneous management of CD involves access to the CD and ablation of the CD cavity to prevent re-accumulation of urine. Previous studies done in adults have suggested that stone-free rates from this management range from about 80% to 100%. Diverticular obliteration, as measured by postoperative CT scans, also appears to be feasible in a percutaneous, antegrade approach, with complete diverticular obliteration rates ranging from 60% to 100%. Our case demonstrated a successful decrease in size from the original diverticulum (9 cm) to a smaller size (2 cm). Future studies with longer follow-ups will need to ascertain if percutaneous management of symptomatic CD is effective in the pediatric population.

ان تعارض المصالح مفهوم يصدق على مضامين كثيرة , فقد يشير هذا المصطلح الى التعارض الداخلي الذي يحدث داخل المصرف بين المساهمين انفسهم من جهة وبينهم وبين الجهات القائمة على إدارة الشركة من جهة أخرى , وقد أشار المشرع العراقي والمصري الى ذلك الامر والى الأسلوب القانوني الذي يتم فيه حماية المصالح المتعارضة , الا ان ذلك التعارض يخرج عن نطاق بحثنا. لان التعارض الذي نقصده هو التعارض الناشئ عن ممارسة المصرف لأكثر من نشاط من أنشطة الاستثمار المالي , فضلا عن التعارض الذي يحدث نتيجة قيام المصرف بالتعامل مع المستثمرين في سوق الأوراق المالية الذين غالباً ما تكون مصالحهم متعارضة فيما بينها . فكل مستثمر يسعى الى تحقيق اعلى فائدة من الاستثمار المالي , وهذا الفائدة يجب على المصرف بوصفه وسيطا او مديرا لمحفظة الأوراق المالية القيام بها وتحقيقها , فيحصل التعارض نتيجة التعامل مع تلك المصالح المتضاربة , فضلا عن التعارض الذي من الممكن ان يحدث نتيجة ممارسة اكثر من نشاط من أنشطة الاستثمار المالي.

Published: September 2022

The inter-critical heat affected zone (ICHAZ) appears to be one of the most brittle sections in the welding of high-strength micro-alloy steels (HSLA). Following multiple heating cycles in the temperature range between Ac1 and Ac3, the ICHAZ undergoes a strong loss of toughness and fatigue resistance, mainly caused by the formation of martensite-austenite constituent (MA). The presence of micro-alloying elements in HSLA steels induces variations in the formation of some microstructural constituents, more or less beneficial, which allow to improve the mechanical performance of a welded joint. The behavior in the inter-critical region of a S355 grade steel with 0.1wt% V addition is reported in this paper. Five double-pass welding thermal cycles were simulated using a dilatometer, with the maximum temperature of the secondary peak in the inter-critical area, in the range between 720 ° C and 790 ° C. The residual austenite dependence on inter-critical temperature is analyzed and related to the hardness behavior.
Geochemical and Cathodoluminescence Properties as Discriminators to Characterize K-Feldspar in Different Genetic Settings

ABSTRACTPotassic alteration is a common feature in hydrothermal ore systems, and both its occurrence and degree can be important features applicable to ore deposit exploration. Here we report results from optical cathodoluminescence (CL) and chemical composition investigations on K-feldspar of different origins in and around the Early Cretaceous lode gold deposits in the Xiaoqinling area, located along the southern margin of the North China Craton.We focus on K-feldspars from an Early Cretaceous biotite monzogranite (G-Kfs), a Paleoproterozoic migmatite (M-Kfs), and a hydrothermal alteration zone of Early Cretaceous gold deposits (H-Kfs). The grain size of G-Kfs ranges from 1 to 4 mm, usually exhibits tartan twinning, and occasionally shows evidence of exsolution. Part of the M-Kfs exhibits tartan twinning, and the grain size shows wide variation (from tens of microns to several centimeters), while the H-Kfs shows no twinning, and the grain size is generally less than 0.5 mm.Optical CL analyses show that the G-Kfs exhibits two emission bands at around 466–472 and 708–713 nm which occur in multiple, alternating dark red and blue zones. The M-Kfs exhibits blue, red, and/or violet-red luminescence resulting from two emission bands at 446–465 and 694–701 nm. The H-Kfs displays a distinct greenish-yellow luminescence resulting from an emission band at 545–550 nm.Electron probe microanalyses show that among the three K-feldspar types, the G-Kfs contains higher Na2O (average: 0.71 wt.%) and Al2O3 (average: 18.79 wt.%) and lower K2O (average: 15.62 wt.%), whereas the H-Kfs shows higher K2O (average: 16.31 wt.%) and lower Na2O (average: 0.45 wt.%) and Al2O3 (average: 18.61 wt.%). The K2O, Na2O, and Al2O3 contents of the M-Kfs are intermediate between those of the G-Kfs and H-Kfs. In transitioning from the G-Kfs, M-Kfs, to H-Kfs, it is noted that the concentrations of Sr, Ba, and Pb decrease progressively, whereas W, V, Zn, Mn, Sc, Ge, and Ga gradually increase. Concentrations of La, Ce, and Eu in the H-Kfs are lower than in the G-Kfs and M-Kfs, and the Cr and Cu concentrations in the G-Kfs are the lowest. Scatter diagrams constructed with Sr, Ba, Pb, and Rb concentrations show that the three types of K-feldspars fall into different fields. These, as well as the CL and spectral properties of K-feldspar, can clearly distinguish the K-feldspars of magmatic, metamorphic, and hydrothermal origin in the study area.

El presente trabajo se enmarca dentro de los estudios no experimentales, de tipo descriptivo con métodos de estudio cualitativo y cuantitativos. El objeto de determinar las características de los procesos administrativos de las microempresas hortícolas de la ciudad de Pilar. Se ha llegado a la conclusión que en el sector hortícola de la ciudad de Pilar predominan las pequeñas explotaciones de tipo familiar, no disponen de recursos suficientes y tampoco una gestión gerencial que les permita fortalecerse en el mercado local. Se observa en las prácticas de trabajo de los productores hortícolas, debilidades en la implementación de actividades que promuevan una gestión eficiente y sostenible, la falta de un análisis del mercado que les permitan conocer cuáles son los productos más demandados, los más ofertados por la competencia, para determinar las hortalizas a producir en tiempo y forma, el sistema productivo es aún muy empírico. Carecen de informaciones para determinar costos y establecer el precio de sus productos, así comun registro preciso y completo de todo el movimiento financiero que implica la producción. De acuerdo a los resultados, la situación obedece a la falta de conocimientos por parte de los productores, o en algunos casos los mismos conocen sobre los nuevos métodos para una mejor gestión, pero se reúsan a ponerlos en práctica por simple miedo al cambio. Otro de los factores causantes de tal problemática es la falta de recursos financieros, lo cual impide innovar, aplicar nuevas tecnologías, invertir en capacitación del capital humano y en estudios que arrojen datos importantes para la toma de decisiones, etc.
