    Catedra chirurgie nr. 2, clinica 2, USMF „Nicolae Testemiţanu”Traumatic iatrogenic injuries and spontaneous ruptures of the esophagus are always serious, and are sometimes followed by pronounced and irreversible complications which include postoperative mortality rates of 30% in the first 24 hours and 60% after 24 hours. Perforation of the esophagus during esophagoscopy with fiber optic endoscopes was found in 0.007% of the observations, while the frequency of blind probing scar stricture of such damage increased by 15%.Травматические повреждения пищевода ятрогенного характера, как и спонтанный разрыв пищевода, считаются наиболее тяжелыми травмами. После таких травм наступают выраженные, иногда необратимые осложнения, с высокой послеоперационной летальностью, в первые 24 часа до 30%, а среди больных, оперированных позднее 24 часов после повреждения, показатель осложнений достигает 60%. Перфорация пищевода при эзофагоскопии эндоскопами на волоконной оптике встречается в 0,007% наблюдений, а при слепом бужировании его рубцовой стриктуры частота такого повреждения возрастает до 15%

    While the World Cup is historically a source of national pride for competing nations, the globalization of the sport of soccer and the expansion of coverage of top soccer leagues from around the world also creates the opportunity for sports fans to build a strong sense of fandom for athletes from around the globe. Therefore, while we would expect fans to cheer for their “home” nation and athletes in the upcoming World Cup, we also recognize that fans may have cheering alliances that reside outside national borders. Using the United States as example, its fans have increasingly chosen favorite teams and players from international leagues such as the English Premier League (EPL) and Spain’s LaLiga, both which employ star athletes from around the world. Thus, it is likely that fans across the globe may have rooting interests outside of their home nation

    Protests and Calls for Boycotting the Qatar World Cup 2022 Spark Online Discussion and Action Away from the Soccer Pitch

    Get PDF
    Global sporting events regularly spark conversations on issues beyond the playing field, including those at the nexus of sport and geopolitics. This year’s World Cup is no exception, a conversation that began soon after the event was awarded by FIFA to Qatar, a Middle Eastern nation with a population of just over 3 million residents – exponentially smaller than typical hosts of such events – and with a record of exploitative labor systems and a highly questionable human rights record. While this conversation has led to protests and investigative reports on a range of news networks, it has also become a touchpoint of conversation on social media, a place where sports fans and critics often convene and to rally behind athletes, teams, and movements. This study will examine recent conversation about the upcoming World Cup and human rights issues. More specifically, it will measure social media conversation and sentiment around the rising question of boycotting the event. In other words, this study will examine what people are saying on social media about boycotting the World Cup and what impact that might have on the protest movement and the event itself

    The January 2015 outburst of a red nova in M31

    Full text link
    M31N 2015-01a (or M31LRN 2015) is a red nova that erupted in January 2015 -- the first event of this kind observed in M31 since 1988. Very few similar events have been confirmed as of 2015. Most of them are considered to be products of stellar mergers. Results of an extensive optical monitoring of the transient in the period January-March 2015 are presented. Eight optical telescopes were used for imaging. Spectra were obtained on BTA, GTC and the Rozhen 2m telescope. We present a highly accurate 70 d lightcurve and astrometry with a 0.05" uncertainty. The color indices reached a minimum 2-3 d before peak brightness and rapidly increased afterwards. The spectral type changed from F5I to F0I in 6 d before the maximum and then to K3I in the next 30 d. The luminosity of the transient was estimated to 8.72.2+3.3×105L8.7^{+3.3}_{-2.2}\times10^{5}L_{\odot} during the optical maximum. Both the photometric and the spectroscopic results confirm that the object is a red nova, similar to V838 Monocerotis.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, 4 tables, accepted for publication in Astronomy and Astrophysics as a Letter to the Editor; page 5 is online material onl

    USMF ”N. Testemițanu”, Catedra chirurgie 2, Clinica chirurgie II, SCM ”Sfînta Treime”, Chișinău, Republica Moldova, Al XI-lea Congres al Asociației Chirurgilor „Nicolae Anestiadi” din Republica Moldova și cea de-a XXXIII-a Reuniune a Chirurgilor din Moldova „Iacomi-Răzeșu” 27-30 septembrie 2011Scopul studiului: colecistectomia laparoscopică a fost rapid acceptată și dominată de un proses tehnic avansat ca alternativă a colecistectomiei clasice în tratamentul litiazei veziculare, însă până în prezent nu sunt definitiv studiate consecințele postoperatorii.Material și metode: Studiul se bazează pe o analiză a 502 bolnavi operați în clinică laparoscopic, dintre care pentru colecistită cronică calculoasă – 398, iar pentru colecistită acută calculoasă – 104. În 24 cazuri au fost depistate hernii poslaparoscopice, din care 8 pacienti au fost operați în diferite instituții medico-sanitare publice, iar în 4 cazuri au fost operați de urgență după hotarele țării. Femei au fost 480, bărbați – 22, cu vîrsta medie de 48,2 ani.Rezultate: Eventrații postoperatorii au fost la 24 pacienți. Mai frecvent herniile au avut loc în lotul de bolnavi operați în mod urgent pentru colecistită acută calculoasă – 18 cazuri, la cei cu colecistita cronică calculoasă eventrațiile au fost în 6 cazuri. La 8 bolnavi herniile au fost multiple (2), în regiunea epigastrală și ombilicală. Un rol important în dezvoltarea heniilor a avut starea peretelui abdominal, vîrsta, obezitatea, cînd situația intraoperatorie a impus lărgirea plăgii din cauza vezicii biliare cu pereții ingroșați și mărită, flegmonos schimbată, cât și prezența calculilor mari în ea și nesuturarea defectului aponeurotic. Hernioplastia s-a efectuat sub anestezie locală cu soluție 0,3% Lidocaină 60-80 ml cu țesuturi proprii în 20 cazuri, iar în 4 cazuri s-a efectuat sub anestezie generală oro-traheală cu plasă sintetică de propilen. În perioada postoperatorie precoce și tardivă complicații nu s-au înregistrat. Concluzii: Pentru prevenirea herniilor postoperatorii după colecistectomia laparoscopică este obligatoriu să se sutureze aponeuroza în toate cazurile după înlăturarea trocarelor cît și a vezicii biliare, ca metode de preîntîmpinare a herniilor peretelui abdominal.Aim: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was quickly accepted and dominated by a technically advanced process as an alternative to conventional cholecystectomy in the treatment of gallbladder lithiasis, but so far the postoperative consequences have not been definitively studied. Material and methods: The study is based on an analysis of 502 patients that were operated using laparoscopic surgery, from them with chronic cholecystitis -398, and for acute calculus cholecystitis – 104. In 24 hernia cases were detected after laparoscopic operations, from which 8 patients were operated on in different public medical institutions, and in 4 cases patients were operated abroad. The study has 480 cases – women, men - 22, average age 48.2 years. Results: Postoperative eventrations occurred at 24 patients. More frequently hernias occurred in the group of patients that were operated urgently for acute calculus cholecystitis -18 cases, for those patients which had chronic calculus cholecystitis eventrations happened in 6 cases. 8 patients had multiple hernias(2), in epigastric and umbilical region. An important role in hernias development had the abdominal wall condition, age, obesity, when the intraoperative situation required a widening of the surgical wound due to enlarged gallbladder with thickened walls, with phlegmon changes, and the presence of large stones in it and no sutures of the aponeurotic defect. The plasty of hernia was performed under local anesthesia with 0.3 % Lidocaine solution 60-80 ml with own tissue in 20 cases, and in 4 cases was performed under general oro-tracheal anesthesia with propylene synthetic mesh. During the early and late postoperative periods, no complications were observed. Conclusions: To prevent postoperative hernia after laparoscopic cholecystectomy is mandatory in all cases to put aponeurotic sutures after removal of trocars as well as of gallbladder, as a method of preventing abdominal wall hernias

    Department of Surgery N 2, State University of Medicine and Pharmacy "Nicolae Testemitanu"Multiple organ insufficiency syndromes complicate the postoperative evolution in urgent surgery in 10-28% of cases. In purulent complications of acute abdominal inflammatory diseases, its frequency can be up to 60%. Difficulties in appropriate diagnoses and treatment and high lethality, which can be up to 95%, determined the actuality of this study. The main cause of multiple organ insufficiency syndromes are infectious complications, particularly in inadequate management, which cause immune, metabolic, and homeostatic disturbances. Синдром полиорганной недостаточности осложняет течение послеоперационного периода в 10-28% случаев. При гнойных осложнениях острых воспалительных заболеваний органов брюшной полости, частота его достигает 60%. Трудность своевременной диагностики и лечения, высокая летальность, достигающая 95%, обусловили особую актуальность и сложность исследования этой проблемы. Основной причиной развития синдрома полиорганной недостаточности являются инфекционные осложнения, особенно при их несвоевременной диагностике или неадекватном лечении, вызывающие нарушения иммунного статуса больных, метаболизма, а также системы гомеостаза

    Simulation study of the link between molecular association and reentrant miscibility for a mixture of molecules with directional interactions

    Get PDF
    The reentrant liquid-liquid miscibility of a symmetrical mixture with highly directional bonding interactions is studied by Gibbs ensemble Monte Carlo simulation. The resulting closed loop of immiscibility and the corresponding lower critical solution temperature are shown to be a direct consequence of the dramatic increase in association between unlike components as the temperature is lowered. Our exact calculations for an off-lattice system with a well-defined anisotropic potential confirm the findings of previous theoretical studies.Dirección General de Investigación Científica y Técnica PB94-144

    The Mediterranean diet for Polish infants: a losing struggle or a battle still worth fighting?

    Get PDF
    The Mediterranean diet is well known for its health-promoting effects. Among its key ingredients, olive oil is the most characteristic. Processing industries have been successfully manufacturing and marketing jarred baby foods with the use of vegetable oils, including olive oil, as well as other sources of visible fat. We aimed to survey manufacturer claims concerning added fat in jarred infant foods supplied to the Polish market. A total of 124 kinds of infant foods from six suppliers were analyzed. Corn, canola, and soybean oil occupied the first three positions, respectively, in rank order of vegetable oils used in jarred baby foods. In our sample, only one type of ready-to-eat jars with vegetables contained olive oil. 11% of products contained cow milk butter or cream. 61% of jarred “dinners” contained poultry or fish, which are typical sources of animal protein in the Mediterranean diet. Given that commercial baby foods currently available in the Polish market contain no olive oil, we advocate considering home preparation of infant foods with the use of visible fat. Medical professionals should encourage food manufacturers to return to the concepts of the Mediterranean diet for young consumers, aimed at long-term health

    Physiological and anthocyanin biosynthesis genes response induced by vanadium stress in mustard genotypes with distinct photosynthetic activity

    Get PDF
    The present study aimed to elucidate the photosynthetic performance, antioxidant enzyme activities, anthocyanin contents, anthocyanin biosynthetic gene expression, and vanadium uptake in mustard genotypes (purple and green) that differ in photosynthetic capacity under vanadium stress. The results indicated that vanadium significantly reduced photosynthetic activity in both genotypes. The activities of the antioxidant enzymes were increased significantly in response to vanadium in both genotypes, although the purple exhibited higher. The anthocyanin contents were also reduced under vanadium stress. The anthocyanin biosynthetic genes were highly expressed in the purple genotype, notably the genes TT8, F3H, and MYBL2 under vanadium stress. The results indicate that induction of TT8, F3H, and MYBL2 genes was associated with upregulation of the biosynthetic genes required for higher anthocyanin biosynthesis in purple compared with the green mustard. The roots accumulated higher vanadium than shoots in both mustard genotypes. The results indicate that the purple mustard had higher vanadium tolerance
