A laying on of hands: reading afrodiasporic spirituality, matrilineage & collectivism in lemonade

ABSTRACT Lemonade (2016) is a genre-blending text that imports cultural and fantastical devices in order to revise, interrogate, and re-examine history–specifically, the traumas inherited from enslavement. In its analysis of history, Lemonade immortalizes Afrodiasporic spiritual practices and enshrines Black women-healers and magic-users as folk heroes. This work advances that the Afrodiasporic spiritual practices and gynocentric connections are used to form Black female collectives. It draws largely on Black and Africana feminist and womanist scholarship to frame an expanded discussion of spirituality and Black motherhood in the American South, and to demonstrate how collectives–sacred, transhistorical communities–are critical to Black female healing. It contextualizes Lemonade’s “chapters,” visuals, and wider narrative, and it examines the Southern psychic and epistemological resources that Beyoncé, as protagonist, consults. In doing so, this work ultimately intends to create new intellectual space for readers to revisit questions of collectivity in Lemonade and consider the indispensability of community for Black women and girls.

Modeling of Building Diaphragms for Nonlinear Response- History Analysis

Review and analysis of history and utilization of panretinal photocoagulation and ranibizumab after publication of protocol S.

We describe the history, utilization, and series results of panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) and ranibizumab and provide an analysis of PRP and ranibizumab usage before versus after the publication of the 2-year and 5-year results of the Diabetic Retinopathy Clinical Research Network (DRCR.net) Protocol S trial. Number of ranibizumabs performed began to increase and number of PRPs performed began to decrease in 2016. After publication of the 2-year results, there was significant negative trend in PRP services and significant positive trend in ranibizumab services (both P < 0.001). After publication of the 5-year results, there was significant negative trend in PRP services (P = 0.003). There were significant negative trends (all P < 0.001) in reimbursement factors for PRP from 2013 to 2020: average work RVU (wRVU), nonfacility physical expense RVU, facility PE RVU, malpractice RVU (MP RVU). Both PRP and ranibizumab have undergone numerous trials comparing their efficacy to other treatment options or no treatment at all. The publication of the 2-year results of Protocol S was associated with an increase in utilization of ranibizumab and decrease in utilization of PRP, with continued decrease after the publication of the 5-year results.

By scrutinizing these themes in depth, the essay offers profound insights into the complexities of post-war Japanese identity, shedding light on the intricate interplay between tradition and modernity during the pivotal era of reconstruction in the 1950s. Through its nuanced examination of these multifaceted themes, the essay provides a comprehensive understanding of the enduring generational gaps that emerged in Japanese society during the 1950s, inviting readers to contemplate the intricate dynamics shaping the nations narrative during a crucial juncture in its history.

Making Use of Natural Language Processing to Better Understand Medical Students' Self-Assessment of Clinical Skills.

Reflective practice is necessary for self-regulated learning. Helping medical students develop these skills can be challenging since they are difficult to observe. One common solution is to assign students' reflective self-assessments, which produce large quantities of narrative assessment data. Reflective self-assessments also provide feedback to faculty regarding students' understanding of content, reflective abilities, and areas for course improvement. To maximize student learning and feedback to faculty, reflective self-assessments must be reviewed and analyzed, activities that are often difficult for faculty due to the time-intensive and cumbersome nature of processing large quantities of narrative assessment data. The authors collected narrative assessment data (2,224 students' reflective self-assessments) from 344 medical students' reflective self-assessments. In academic years 2019-2020 and 2021-2022, students at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine responded to 2 prompts (aspects that surprised students, areas for student improvement) after reviewing their standardized patient encounters. These free-text entries were analyzed using TopEx, an open-source natural language processing (NLP) tool, to identify common topics and themes, which faculty then reviewed. TopEx expedited theme identification in students' reflective self-assessments, unveiling 10 themes for prompt 1 such as question organization and history analysis, and 8 for prompt 2, including sensitive histories and exam efficiency. Using TopEx offered a user-friendly, time-saving analysis method without requiring complex NLP implementations. The authors discerned 4 education enhancement implications: aggregating themes for future student reflection, revising self-assessments for common improvement areas, adjusting curriculum to guide students better, and aiding faculty in providing targeted upcoming feedback. The University of Cincinnati College of Medicine aims to refine and expand the utilization of TopEx for deeper narrative assessment analysis, while other institutions may model or extend this approach to uncover broader educational insights and drive curricular advancements.

Genetic counselling and gene analysis in patients with hereditary ocular diseases

Purpose. Non-syndromic hereditary ocular diseases can lead to severe functional limitations of vision at all ages. Therefore, molecular genetic research into the causes of hereditary ocular diseases is of paramount importance. Due to the increasingly optimised pathophysiologically adapted treatments and gene therapy options, a rapid determination of the genetic cause of hereditary ocular diseases is neces- sary, also to increase the chances of treatment at early stages of the disease. In this context, the authors retrospectively analysed the database of the “rare diseases” consultation hour of the PraxisKlinik Augenärzte Halle, which has been in existence since 2016, for patients with a suspected hereditary ophthalmological disease after molecular genetic diagnostics, counselling and therapy options. Material and Methods. 367 index patients were treated dur- ing the period under consideration. In 221 (60.2 %) of them, the molecular genetic cause of the underlying disease could be found. In addition to a large group of patients with cor- neal dystrophies (304 patients, detection rate 61.2 %), we treated 23 index patients with hereditary retinal diseases (detection rate 69.6 %), 28 index patients with complex mal- formations (detection rate 50 %) and 15 index patients with optic atrophies (detection rate 33.4 %). In addition to the ophthalmological-clinical examination and diagnostics, ge- nealogical analysis and molecular genetic testing were always performed. Results. On the basis of 3 case studies with a molecularly ge- netically proven hereditary retinal disease (X-linked recessive inherited juvenile retinoschisis, hemizygous missense muta- tion in the RS1 gene; enhanced S-Cone syndrome, compound heterozygous mutation in the RS2E3 gene; oculocutaneous albinism, homozygous mutation in the TYR gene), the inher- itance, the clinical picture, the course and the therapeutic and rehabilitative options were explained. Conclusion. Ophthalmogenetic counselling and diagnostics in cases of suspected hereditary eye diseases are crucial for a prompt and a sufficient possible therapy and optical reha- bilitation in affected families. Thorough history analysis and diagnostics can optimise the detection rate and provide rapid and sufficient patient care. Keywords hereditary retinal disease, homozygous mutation, ophthal- mogenetics, juvenile retinischisis, oculocutaneous albinism

Using Psychedelics in Clinical Practice: Comparing Therapeutic Uses and Potential Harms.

Psychedelics might be the oldest psychoactive agents known to be used for inducing religious or mystical experiences. Their strong psychoactive effect was discovered accidentally in 1943 after the synthesis of Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) in 1937. These drugs became a mainstream area of research following the synthesis of LSD; however, several political and social factors led to their ban in 1966, after which research on psychedelics remained limited. These drugs became a major topic of scientific and ethical debate in the 1990's and the recent times have seen a 'Psychedelic renaissance' where the therapeutic value of psychedelics is being reconsidered. This article reports the historical perspective of psychedelics, pharmacologic action by 5-HT2A receptor agonism, and psychological effects and compares the proposed therapeutic uses, including uses in depression, PTSD, anxiety- related disorders, drug and alcohol addiction, neurodegenerative diseases, and auto-immune diseases to potential harms including the development of tolerance, hallucinogen persisting perception disorder, and potential psychosis. An analysis of history, pharmacology, and comparison of benefits and harms lead to the conclusion that the potential therapeutic benefits significantly outweigh the potential harms; thus, further research and clinical trials need to be conducted across different countries and cultures for their legal approval in clinical use.

Seismic Performance Analysis of Conjoined Structures with Inhomogeneous Stiffness Distribution

&lt;p&gt;Two or more independent towers are joined together through a connectome to form a conjoined structure. The deformation and internal force of the tower are complex, and the coupling effect between the two towers is remarkable when the earthquake is subjected. In this paper, elastic -plastic time -history analysis is adopted to research the dynamic dynamic response under the action of rare earthquakes. Moreover, in order to analyze the influence of symmetry and span parameters on the dynamic response of structures, elastic-plastic time-history analysis is carried out on structures with different symmetries, different stiffness distributions in planes and different spans.&lt;/p&gt;

Multilateralism in the Twenty-First Century

The rise of geostrategic rivalry between the United States and China is changing international cooperation. As China seeks new influence and the United States seeks to contain China and to reduce its own international obligations, three dimensions of multilateralism are becoming particularly important. The first is the management of the superpower rivalry, through formal treaties, informal arrangements among states, and international institutions. The second is the capacity of the leadership of any international institution to foster cooperation beyond the immediate preferences of one or another of the most powerful member states. The third dimension is the legitimacy on which the authority of international institutions rests. The evolution of these three elements will shape the future of multilateralism, by which I refer to the arrangements created and agreed by states which facilitate cooperation by enshrining commitments to diffuse reciprocity and peaceful dispute settlement. The analysis of history and of variations in current practice in international cooperation underscores several ways in which international cooperation could be sustained even as the US-China rivalry strengthens. Global agencies can play a crucial role finding and highlighting areas where cooperation and competition can coexist, and where their own capacities to pool information, to reduce transactions costs, and to broker and monitor agreements can assist. This, in turn, requires high-quality leadership by people who can effectively broker agreements among countries, persuade countries to pool resources, and attract and organize an effective and highly motivated staff. Such leadership requires positive ongoing action by member states, to define what is required for effective leadership of the institutions they collectively create, to seek proven competence in each domain before appointing leaders, and to monitor ongoing performance. Finally, international institutions can buttress their legitimacy by finding better ways to ensure the participation of all stakeholders, and to respond rapidly and effectively to global crises and to provide global public goods.

RIFA'IYAH ISLAMIC COMMUNITY’S ACCOMMODATIVE POLITICS IN KUDUS

The Rifa'iyah Islamic Community was established by Kiai Ahmad Rifa'i since the Dutch colonial era. This community used the Javanese Book of Tarjumah Pegon as a means of confrontation against colonialism. This article elaborates Rifa’iyah’s political strategy and how this community keeps existing in the present era. The research has an objective to discuss this community’s political strategy, its existence and the dynamic as an Islamic community in Kudus. The paper uses interview as the main method, as well as observation and documentation using history analysis and accommodation theory. The findings of this research that at the starting point of Rifa'iyah community, it was rejected by residents because of differences in worship based on the teachings of the Book of Tarjumah, for example, praying only with fellow Rifa'iyah members, practicing wedding ceremony based on Rifa'iyah guidance, and only studying the book by Kiai Rifa'i. However, its existence is now accepted due to the accommodating strategy of Rifa'iyah pilgrims. Adaptive political efforts are carried out by the Rifa'iyah community in Kudus to exist and be accepted, for example, by doing proactive steps in the fields of government, social, and culture.

Diagnosis and management of a giant ovarian cyst during pregnancy and puerperium: Case series

In the pregnancy and puerperium phase, giant ovarian cysts are highly uncommon. It raises the risk of fetal and maternal morbidity. We describe three cases of large benign ovarian cysts diagnosed and treated at a rural medical college and hospital with limited facilities during the pregnancy and puerperium phase.Data were obtained by history analysis, clinical assessment, laboratory examination, radiological imaging, and histopathological analysis of the culled surgical specimen. Our first case was a 23-year-old primigravida who presented with pain in abdomen. Antenatal sonography confirmed a huge intact left ovarian cyst. She was managed at term by cesarean for obstetrical indication along with left ovarian cystectomy. Our second case, a 25-year-old woman, reported abdominal distention following uncomplicated vaginal delivery. After a complete workup, she was diagnosed with a benign serous ovarian cystadenoma. Laparotomy with left ovarian cystectomy was done. In our third scenario, a 20-year-old primigravida with a giant ovarian cyst at 34 weeks gestation who also delivered vaginally and underwent laparotomy with left ovarian cystectomy. Histopathological examination revealed benign ovarian serous adenoma in all three cases.When a large ovarian cyst is present during pregnancy, it is unearthed that vaginal delivery is possible. In the postpartum period, surgical cyst treatment can be performed with satisfaction.

Wirsungectomy for pancreatic hypertension in chronic pancreatitis

Background. Pain in chronic pancreatitis (CP) can occur as a consequence of mechanical factors— pancreatic ductal hypertension, interstitial pressure, inflammatory and neuropathic pathological changes in the pancreas. The purpose was to evaluate a novel modification of the classic Partington-Rochelle procedure via comparing functional results of conventional surgery group and wirsungectomy group. Materials and methods. A retrospective analysis of the case histories of patients with CP and an enlarged (≥4mm) main pancreatic duct was carried out for the period from 2003 to 2009, which underwent surgical treatment of CP. The SF-36 and EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaires, and visual analogue scale of pain were used for the assessment. The first group included five patients with wirsungectomy with lateral pancreaticojejunostomy (PEA + WE); the second group consisted of 20 patients after the lateral pancreaticojejunostomy (PEA) only. Cross-tabulation analyses were performed to compare PEA and PEA + WE groups as well as those groups in different time points using a two-sided Student’s t-test. The significance level was set to p&lt;0.05. Results. The groups were compared in terms of VAS and the EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire before and 2 years after surgery using Student’s t-test for unrelated values: statistically significant differences between the groups according to VAS as before (p=0.757) and after surgery (p=0.696) were not obtained. There were no significant differences (p &gt; 0.05) between the PEA and PEA + WE groups before and after surgery according to the EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaires, except for some items (p&lt;0.05) Within the groups according to VAS and EORTC QLQ-C30 (pain severity), in the PEA group (p=0.000001, p=0.000109) and the PEA + WE group (p=0.018, p=0.017) after surgery, there was a statistically significant decrease in pain. Conclusions. Longitudinal pancreaticojejunostomy with wirsungectomy is justified in patients with long-term CP, severe fibrosis of the pancreas with multiple calcifications of the periphery pancreatic ducts to decompress pancreatic ducts, and parenchyma. In the long-term period after 2 years, the proposed method of longitudinal pancreaticojejunostomy with wirsungectomy in patients with CP with dilation of main pancreatic duct according to the VAS scale and EORTC QLQ questionnaires C30 and SF-36 is accompanied by a significant reduction in pain.

A Clinical Study of Pleural Effusion and its Radiological, Biochemical, Bacteriological, and Cytological Correlation

Background: Pleural effusion refers to excessive or abnormal accumulation of fluid in the pleural space. It is a commonly encountered medical problem caused by a variety of underlying pathological conditions. Collection of fluid in the pleural cavity has varied etiological factors. Because of the various etiologies that can cause pleural effusion, it often presents a diagnostic problem, even after extensive investigations. Materials and Methods: A prospective study was carried out with the aim was to arrive at the etiological diagnosis by analysis of history, clinical presentation, biochemical, radiological, cytological, and bacteriological methods. The inclusion criteria were total 100 patients of adult age and either sex were taken, with age &gt;18 years, and chest X-ray showing evidence of pleural effusion. Already diagnosed with pleural effusion were excluded from the study. Diagnosis was made on clinical examination, radiological examination, and analysis of laboratory data. Results: A total of 106 patients were enrolled with a mean age of 42.8 years and standard deviation of ± 15.1, respectively. Out of 106, the maximum number of cases of pleural effusion were tuberculosis 59 (55.7%) among them more than three-fourth of them were affected on the right side and only 13 (12.2%) were affected on the left side. After tuberculosis, malignancy 17 (16.0%) and congestive heart failure 10 (9.4%) respectively. Most of the cases were affected on the right side 57 (53.7%), followed by 35 (33.1%) and only 14 (13.2%) were affected bilaterally. The most common presenting symptoms are 99 (93.3%) and had shortness of breath, 87 (86.0%). Among the plural effusion cases, majority 90 (84.9%) of them had diagnosed with thoracocentesis. Almost 89 (83.9%) exudative effusions are more common and only 17 (16.1%) transudative effusion. Conclusion: A maximum number of cases of pleural effusion were tuberculosis followed by malignancy. Thoracentesis and pleural fluid analysis were the most common diagnostic technique. Thoracoscopy was required in few cases which are difficult to diagnose cases.

Reassessing philanthropic cartographies: the Caribbean lens

ABSTRACT The definition of philanthropy is contested with variations across time and global context. The article will centre on the Caribbean with its numerous identities to highlight inclusive philanthropic practices. Through an analysis of Caribbean history, theoretical foundations, and contemporary analysis, three social classes or ideal types are identified. These include 1) the colonial dominant, 2) the Black or creole middle class and 3) the resisters or grassroots/marginalized populations. Drawing on these ideal types, the analyzes three categories of philanthropic practice developing within and through the Caribbean, including 1) the philanthropy of colonial dominance, 2) philanthropy of cultural mediation and 3) philanthropy of anticolonial resistance. The Caribbean offers an ideal context for understanding traditional forms of philanthropic action and 'philanthropy from below,' highlighting issues of power, oppression, and social transformation that impact the region's ongoing development.

Pathomorphological Changes in Vater-Pacinian Corpuscles in Palmar Fascial Fibromatosis Depending on the Dupuytren’s Contracture Degree

Background. World literature data indicate the involvement of Vater-Pacinian corpuscles in the pathogenesis of palmar fascial fibromatosis, but the information about their pathomorphological changes and histomorphometric characteristics is contradictory.&#x0D; Purpose a comparative analysis of qualitative and quantitative changes in Vater-Pacinian corpuscles in patients with Dupuytrens contracture of varying degrees.&#x0D; Methods. The analysis of case histories and material resected during operations from 100 patients with Dupuytrens contracture, was made. The patients were divided into two groups: group 1 those with degree I-II contracture (n = 31), group 2 those with degree III-IV (n = 69). Histomorphometry of 122 Vater-Pacinian corpuscles, in which the cut plane passed through the central nucleus, was performed in paraffin and semi-thin sections of the patients surgical material.&#x0D; Results. At the time of the disease onset, the difference in age medians in the groups was not statistically significant. The age median at the time of surgery (group 1 56.0 years; group 2 61.0 years, p = 0.001) and the median of the disease duration (group 1 5.0 years; group 2 9.0 years, р = 0.006) were higher in group 2, the variability in the disease duration was comparable. As it has been established, Vater-Pacinian corpuscles undergo successive reactive-destructive changes in the form of death of the central axon, stratification of the capsule, inflammation, fibrosis, deformation and destruction. The number of corpuscles is greater (р = 0.040) in group 1 1 (0; 3) than in group 2 0 (0; 6). In group 2, the corpuscles have larger diameters (group 1 0.85 mm; group 2 0.96 mm, p = 0.072), more layers of the outer capsule (group 1 17; group 2 20, p = 0.032).&#x0D; Conclusions. In patients with Dupuytrens contracture, along with compensatory and adaptive changes in Vater-Pacinian corpuscles (hyperplasia and hypertrophy), their irreversible destructive changes develop, which, when the disease progresses to grade 3-4, lead to a loss in the number of bodies.

Structure Vulnerability and Risk Analysis of 4-Legged Offshore Structure

Offshore structures are commonly used in oil and gas collecting sector. This industry is one of the major economic sector in Malaysia. Since distant earthquakes from neighbour countries (Indonesia and Philippines) had caused significant structural damages in the past few years, the perfomance level of offshore due to seismic effect need to be undergone detailed investigation. Therefore, this research aims to investigate the vulnerability and analyze the risk of 4-legged fixed offshore structure under different excitations. In order to achieve the objectives, SAP 2000 was chosen to analyze the offshore structure modelling by referring to the API (American Petroleum Institute) criteria. Time history, response spectrum and free vibration analysis have been performed. The behaviour of the offshore structure was observed and evaluated through the natural frequencies and periods. Meanwhile, results outcome of the joint displacement, velocity, and acceleration represented the dynamic characteristic of the structure. The 4-legged fixed offshore structure categorized as Immediate Occupancy (IO) based on FEMA 356 guidelines. From the results, it showed that existing 4-legged offshore structures in Malaysia are capable to resist seismic loads and in stable condition.

Taxonomic history and intraspecific analysis of Mesotherium cristatum (Mammalia, Notoungulata, Mesotheriidae) from the Early-Middle Pleistocene of Buenos Aires Province, Argentina

ABSTRACT We report systematic conclusions based on critical analyses of previous taxon diagnoses and systematic revisions of the Early-Middle Pleistocene mesotheriine notoungulate Mesotherium cristatum, from Buenos Aires province, Argentina. Mesotherium cristatum is a key taxon, as it is the guide species of the Ensenadan Age (Early-Middle Pleistocene), it typifies the ‘Mesotherium cristatum Biozone’, and it is the last member of the Typotheria lineage. The taxonomic history and its successive revisions are especially complex due to the lack of recognition of the ontogenetic variation for this taxon, often considered as intergeneric variations (Typotherium, Typotheridion) or also as inter-specific variations (a total of seven different species have been named). In fact, the taxonomic complexity was increased due to misidentification with specimens or taxa originally defined in the late Pliocene (i.e. Monte Hermoso, Montehermosan SALMA). We conclude that the variation among the numerous purported Early-Middle Pleistocene mesotheriine taxa is consistent with intraspecific and ontogenetic variation in a single species, here recognised as M. cristatum. This puts an end to the supposed sympatry of two other species (Mesotherium maendrum and Typotherium pachygnatum) with M. cristatum and other species that have scarcely been considered (Typotherium angustirostrum and Bravardia pampaea). Accordingly, Mesotherium is a monotypic genus.

Erythrocyte blood indices and state of iron metabolism in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is a systemic chronic disease. One of the extra-articular manifestations of JIA are hematological changes. The most common is anemia. The aim of the study was to explore the indicators of the red blood cells and the state of iron metabolism in children with JIA, depending on the form and duration of the disease. A retrospective analysis of the medical history of patients was carried out. The study of the indicators of the red blood cells consisted in determining the number of erythrocytes, the amount of hemoglobin, the ratio of the number of erythrocytes to blood volume, the average volume of erythrocytes, the average hemoglobin content in the erythrocyte, the average concentration of hemoglobin in the erythrocyte, as well as the distribution of red blood cells along the length in the form of the difference between the largest and smallest size of red blood cells and the deviation of the volume of red blood cells from the average value. The state of iron metabolism was represented by such indicators as the content of serum iron, ferritin, transferrin, latent iron-binding capacity of blood serum, total iron-binding capacity of serum, transferrin saturation coefficient with iron. In 18.7 % of children with JIA, a decrease in hemoglobin of less than 120 g/l was noted. There was a significant (p &lt; 0.001) decrease in the average hemoglobin content in the erythrocyte in 37.9 % of patients. As a result of the study, it was found that the decrease in the iron content in the blood serum is due not only to the true iron deficiency state, but also to the redistribution of iron reserves against the background of chronic autoimmune inflammation. In the systemic form of the disease, changes in the latent iron deficiency state are more pronounced. With a long course of the disease, normalization of red blood cell parameters occurs. The duration of the disease has no effect on ferrokinetics, which is due to the development of iron deficiency compensation against the background of ongoing treatment.
