Cryptorchidism with Duplicate Vas Deferens and Epididymis: A Rare Case with Literary Review

Background: Incidence and recognition of the congenital anomalies involving vas (or) ductus deferens, also called as sperm duct, are low, particularly when duplication of the sperm duct and epididymis occurs together. These anomalies, although of rare incidence, should be considered while performing surgeries related to the spermatic cord, to prevent inadvertent damage. Case presentation: We, here, present a case of a seventeen year old boy with undescended testis on left side, where laparoscopic evaluation revealed polyorchidism. The accessory testis was removed, and histo-pathological examination confirmed duplication of the sperm duct and the epididymis. Conclusion: This case scenario highlights the importance of recognizing and managing rare urogenital anomalies during procedures involving handling of spermatic cord structures.

МОДИФИКАЦИЯ И ВНЕДРЕНИЕ ПАРАМЕТРОВ ОБЪЕКТИВИЗАЦИИ ПОКАЗАТЕЛЯ ОЖИДАЕМОЙ ПРОДОЛЖИТЕЛЬНОСТИ ЗДОРОВОЙ ЖИЗНИ

The search for a universal indicator of population health, which gives an estimate of one value and is devoid of subjectivity, continues to this day [1-4]. Mortality, which strictly records the fact and causes of the end of human life, can have different content, and age-related detailing of death gives, although interesting, but a large number of indicators [5-7]. It was possible to collect the influence of all age–related mortality rates into one generalized estimate in an integral indicator – “life expectancy” (hereinafter – life expectancy). However, with this approach, the issue of assessing the state of health of living people remains unresolved [8, 9], and the answer should be the indicator “healthy life expectancy” (hereinafter referred to as the life expectancy index). Attempts have been made to introduce the HPP indicator since the 1960s and 1970s, but it was only at the end of the twentieth century that it was adopted by WHO. Changes in social conditions of life and the quality of health care are now aimed not only at increasing the BWF, but also the BWF. And more and more countries and WHO have started using it as the main target. Domestic statistics practically do not calculate [10] and do not publish the GPR in official statistical collections. The calculations made for countries and regions are not extended to individual territories of the regions. The existing approaches are based on a subjective assessment of the health of certain age categories [8, 10] and do not use the collected statistical information. Goal. To develop an improved methodology for calculating the integrated indicator of “healthy life expectancy” in conditions of limited statistical information and introduce it into the practice of assessing the health of the population. Tasks: 1. To analyze the existing calculation of the indicator “healthy life expectancy”. 2. To summarize the existing approaches to calculating the indicator of “healthy life expectancy” and comment on the methodology for determining the life expectancy. 3. To develop an improved methodology for calculating the indicator of “healthy life expectancy”. Research methods: literary review and expert opinion. Conclusion: The HPA indicator should be implemented, as there is a need for this assessment of population health. However, the use of HPE requires a unified interpretation of the degree of loss of health in various diseases, as well as the introduction of an age (five-year) breakdown of sick and disabled citizens into domestic official statistics.

A Systematic and Literary Review on the Learning Outcome and Competency-Based Test

The study aims to reach a pro on learning outcomes and competency-based tests conducted in schools and the ways for implementing the same in higher education for assessing and evaluating in relation to the competency-based teaching-learning experience. Every individual has a distinct method for acquiring and constructing their knowledge. Facilitators in school and college are responsible for being skilled in various pedagogies to witness the progress of the learner. The State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT) has accentuated processed-based learning and assessment in practice. In 2023, SCERT implemented a new assessment for evaluating competency-based learning in schools and ways to guide the facilitator in designing the framework for teaching. As a follow-up, every month the students are assessed through learning outcome/competency-based tests in government schools. In this study, a convergent design, one of the mixed methods is used, and a structured questionnaire is set to collect the data. The data is collected from government school students who appear for learning outcome/competency tests, classes ranging from sixth to ninth, and also with the teachers who handle these students in all five subjects. The study discusses the development, pattern, and design of learning outcome/competency-based tests in schools, and its comparison with higher education competency-based semester assessments. It shows the new method of learning outcome/competency-based test can benefit the teaching and learning experience in higher education if conducted every month as a diagnostic assessment.

REVIEW AND OPPONENT`S REVIEW IN THE SYSTEM OF SCIENTIFIC AND LITERARY-CRITICAL GENRES (part 2)

The article analyzes the views of contemporary researchers on the essence of the concepts “criticism”, “literary criticism” and “art criticism”. It is noted that these concepts should be considered synonymous, since they all indicate the ability to analyze and evaluate artistic works. The authors of this research offer their own interpretation of the term “literary and artistic criticism”, which is understood as a scientific or professional interpretation of an artistic (literary) work in the context of ideological and aesthetic guidelines of the time, socio-political factors and professional skills of the interpreter. It was determined that in the contemporary literary and critical discourse, a review is understood as one of the most widespread genres in this field, the purpose of which is the analysis and evaluation of an artistic, artistic, journalistic, scientific work in the context of historical, social and political realities, as well as consideration of the corpus violated in the work problems. It was determined that the similarity of literary and critical review and opponent’s review is caused by common structural components, a common goal, the influence of the ideological and aesthetic paradigm of a certain period (the tendency to dominate modification forms in our time) and the desire to respond to the requests of the contemporary audience.

A Quantitative Exploration of the Consistency of Visual Rhythms and Social Values in Oil Painting Art

Abstract In the process of oil painting creation, creators present their ideology to the audience through diversified ways of expression so as to produce spiritual resonance with the audience. In this paper, the consistency of social and artistic values of color in oil painting art is studied from three aspects: color attributes, visual rhythm, and color psychological effects. Combined with the HSV color model, the relationship between hue, saturation, and brightness values, which in turn describes color harmony and aesthetics, is used to assess the artistic and social value of oil painting art. Finally, by taking oil paintings of the Literary Review Period style and Classical style as samples, the social and artistic value consistency of oil paintings can be analyzed through color. The results of the study show that when the value of the color attributes of Rembrandt’s oil paintings in the Literary Review Period reaches 240, the saturation value rises sharply, and the hue value likewise falls sharply, forming a strong color focus, making the paintings more toned down and fresh, and alluding to the spirit of resistance that the creator wants to express. The social attributes of purity and solemnity are created when color characteristics are purified, and saturation is smoothed in classical-style oil paintings.

The Role of Social Sciences in Dentistry Undergraduate Courses: A Case Report from Brazil

In this article, we present an analysis of the contribution of social sciences to teaching undergraduate dentistry courses. Based on a literary review of the influence of behavioral and social sciences on oral health research and a case report from a public university in Porto Alegre, Brazil, I propose to consider the interface between health and social sciences, presenting some of our contributions to the training process of undergraduate students at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul. Introductory social sciences classes have been incorporated into various healthcare faculties, such as nutrition, dentistry, physiotherapy, medicine, obstetrics, and nursing. The acknowledgment of the importance of social sciences to the formation of health care professionals is reflected in the introduction in the curriculum of topics such as human rights, ethics in the relation of professionals and patients, as well as the challenges presented by social inequalities and the humanistic perspective of integral attention. In this sense, social sciences present undergraduates with a privileged perspective to the understanding of the patient both as a subject of rights, situated in a social, cultural, economic, and political context, and as a critical interpreter and agent of his own body, capable of recognizing and identifying illness processes, choosing, and attending therapy protocols and, therefore, capable of contributing to the continuity as well as transformation of healthcare practices. The inclusion of social sciences classes in undergraduate dentistry courses has given students an invaluable perspective on patients as individuals with rights situated within a social, cultural, economic, and political context. This understanding enables students to identify and tackle social inequalities, maintain ethical standards in their professional practice, and offer holistic care when training in programs integrated into the Brazilian Unified Health System. In addition, social sciences classes equip students with critical thinking skills that enable them to analyze and interpret patient experiences, make informed decisions regarding treatment protocols, and contribute to better treatment adherence, prevention practices, and therapy continuity.

Use and Influence of Technological Gadgets on Students’ Performance in Art Production

Despite the opportunities afforded art teachers in the use of technology today, many of them avoid these opportunities; either because they are not interested or they prefer the traditional way of teaching or they lack the know-how to use them. A cursory look at our Art institutions and Departments in Nigeria today reveals that there is need to overhaul the training methods and facilities in the system to meet global standard and technology-driven society of our time. This paper discusses the place of technology in Art pedagogy; looking at studio practice and theory, its influence on art production and sustainability in the future. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the quality of computer gadget-aided paintings and those made from real objects among selected students in tertiary institutions. Methodology adopted includes literary review, survey and practical experiments. The paper points to the fact that the role of technology cannot be over-emphasized in art teaching and learning, exhibition and sale, recording, preservation, as well as documentation and archiving of art experiences. It is recommended that teachers of Art must be abreast with modern techniques in teaching in a dynamic and technology-driven world of today.

Exploring the Flux of Cherry Blossom Imagery in Japanese Literature and Culture by Combining Social Network Analysis Methods

Abstract This paper combines the LDA theme mining model with social network algorithms to construct an objective evaluation model for the imagery of cherry blossoms in Japanese literature and culture. To determine the number of topics, one needs to observe the change in perplexity degree for various numbers of topics. The degree of influence of surrounding nodes on this node is measured using in-degree and out-degree, and the degree of closeness between users in social networks is measured using the clustering coefficient. Based on the network data, we analyzed Japanese literary works related to cherry blossoms and readers’ comments on related literary review websites, followed by analyzing the rate of microblog retweets when a hot literary work was published to determine the theme density. In the beginning, Topic 1, which represents positivity, has the highest theme intensity of 0.2581, indicating that the imagery of cherry blossoms is skewed toward the positive in the minds of readers and netizens. Following the emergence of hot literature, the spread of Topic2, which is associated with negativity, reached its peak, with a density that reached as high as 2235721 times. At this time, the highest high-frequency words are death 5827 times, and poignant 5748 times, all of which are negative meanings, and the theme intensity of Topic 2 is 0.2992. The impression of people can be negatively impacted by cherry blossoms. By constructing a model for literary analysis of imagery, this paper serves as a reference and presents a new direction for textual research.

Some comparative aspects, which they consider decisive in the application of the circular economy and its instruments, are allocated. In particular, some of the scientists see an increase in the efficiency of small and medium-sized enterprises through the use of circular economy instruments; some analyze the use of this conception for large enterprises and corporations, which is no less relevant. Analyzing the selected works, it can be seen that the effective implementation of the conception of circular economy is possible with the support of the authorities through fiscal policy, the financing of pilot projects to determine the most optimal use of individual instruments of the circular economy. Other authors view the implementation of the circular economy through solutions and innovative technologies. Yet another part of the authors emphasizes the need to use cloud technologies, the Internet of Things, the achievements of the 4th and 5th industrial revolutions. The methods used by scientists in the analysis are diverse: economic and mathematical apparatus, systematic review of scientific articles selected through various systems, as well as methods of expert assessments and questionnaires. On the basis of the carried out analysis, the main directions and approaches that stimulate and increase the efficiency of the use of the circular economy in industry have been allocated.

We systematically searched the literature published from December 1, 2019 to July 30, 2021 across multiple databases including PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar and the WHO COVID-19 database using the following keywords: “COVID-19” and “pregnancy”. Filter by date: March 1, 2020-until March 1, 2021. We have made a review of the literature on the issue of our interest in the PubMed and Scopus search databases. Based on our understanding, we want to present a small literary review. Changes in the cardiorespiratory and immune systems during pregnancy increase woman's susceptibility to severe infection and hypoxic compromise, but at the same time they may also delay diagnosis and source control in those who have only mild upper respiratory symptoms such as sore throat and nasal congestion; the latter are observed in 5% of patients with COVID-19. With gestational rhinitis, it should also be noted that in pregnant women the content of estrogen, β-estradiol increases, which increases the reactivity of the immune system. Therefore, the intensity of seizures during gestation can increase significantly. However, a high con-centration of estrogen disrupts vascular motility, causing vasomotor rhinitis during pregnancy, usually affects a fifth of healthy women in late pregnancy and leads to severe nasal congestion and rhinorrhea; these signs can mask the symptoms of COVID-19, leading to uncontrolled viral shedding and trans-mission. Dyspnea occurs in 18% of patients with COVID-19.

Difficulty of the patient in the permanence of the celiac disease treatment: a literary review

Objective: Bibliographically analyze the challenges, importance and difficulties of adherence to treatment in individuals with celiac disease. Bibliographic review: Celiac disease (CD) is an autoimmune disease due to intolerance to gluten, which makes it difficult for the body to absorb nutrients and water. CD has a prevalence of up to 1% of the world's population, of which approximately 300,000 Brazilians are carriers. The pathophysiology of CD occurs by an inflammatory activation that occurs mainly by immunological processes mediated by T cells, damaging the microvilli and leaving the intestine with a smooth appearance. Due to the inflammatory process, the classic picture of malabsorption generates symptoms that include diarrhea, steatorrhea and lack of appetite, as well as extra intestinal manifestations that include dermatitis, malnutrition, pubertal delay and others. Currently, it is understood that there are not many treatment options for CD, since the gluten-free diet is the only one that is effective for these patients. Therefore, adherence to such therapy is not so simple, since there are a number of social and economic difficulties that hinder this process. Final considerations: Although CD has a simple therapeutic option, it involves several intercurrences which impair adherence to treatment and can cause consequences for celiac patients. That said, promoting access to information about CD is important not only for celiac patients, but also for the general population in order to facilitate better and simplified access to gluten-free products.
