To this end, the authors decided to study the role of some laboratory biomarkers in assessing the severity of the course of the disease Covid-19 in children and the correlation between them. 551 patients applied to the Department of Pediatric Infectious Diseases. 55 patients without comorbidity, with confirmed "Upper Respiratory Diseases" were treated on an outpatient basis and entered the control group. 496 patients were diagnosed with Covid-19 and were included in the study group. Of the patients, 364 children were laboratory positive for C-19 and belonged to group I (covid pediatric). Laboratory C-19 in 132 children was assigned to the negative-II group (MIS-Ch). Patients were diagnosed with a number of biomarkers (inflammatory, respiratory and metabolic panel, coagulogram, interleukin-6, brain natriuretic peptide concentration) in the blood and the correlation between them. When comparing patients of groups I and II, it was found that the concentration of biomarkers was higher in patients of group II. This once again proves that the Covid-19 disease is more severe in patients of group II. In both groups, the correlation coefficient between biomarkers was also studied. Thus, there is a direct strong correlation between creatine kinase-MB and ferritin in group I and BNP and interleukin-6 in group II, and it is statistically significant.

In seventy-one children admitted at the emergency room for FWS, RDW-CV, Ret-He and the Lab-score were determined. Respective prognostic values for a hospitalization duration >24 hours (HD>24h) and for predicting a final diagnosis of viral infection (VI) were assessed using ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristic) curves and logistic regression analyses. Final diagnosis was based upon extensive microbiological characterization including culture, molecular biology, and clinical presentation. 52 patients (73.2%) met the endpoint HD>24h, and 38 patients (53.52%) had a final diagnosis of VI. ROC curve analyses showed that RDW-CV had the highest discriminant accuracy with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.79 (95% Confidence Interval (95%CI):0.67-0.92; p<0.0001) for HD>24h. Ret-He had the highest accuracy for VI with an AUC of 0.70 (95% CI :0.57-0.84; p=0.002). These AUCs were comparable to the Lab-score's AUCs (0.66 for HD>24, and 0.88 for VI). RDW-CV was the only parameter associated with HD>24h, independently of the Lab-score (Adjusted Odds ratio: 3.76; 95% CI:1.11-12.67; p=0.03). Adding RDW-CV to the Labscore improved the Lab-score prognostic accuracy (delta:0.18; p=0.001). Above the cutoff of 15.2%, RDW-CV had a positive predictive value of 100% (95%CI:0.63-1.00). RDW-CV and Ret-He were not found to be independent predictors of VI. In conclusion, RDW-CV appears as an independent predictor of hospitalization 24h in children with FWS, potentially providing added value to the Lab-score.

AC causes musculoskeletal disorders of the shoulder, which is a typical justification for loss of function and disability in patients and the greatest common features of AC are pain accompanying with progressive stiffness and lack of shoulder external rotation actions and loss of variable movement may also be present, sticking to the site of the maximally affected capsule. Objective: To compare the effects of Active release technique and Muscles energy technique on pain, ROM and functional disability in subacute adhesive capsulitis patients with trigger points. Methodology: A randomized clinical trial using a convenient sampling technique, the sample size of 74 with 37 in each group was selected and then divided into two groups, Group A received an active release technique and Group B received a muscle energy technique (37 ART and 37 METs). NPRS and SPADI were used as outcome measures to assess pain, range of motion, and functional disability in adhesive capsulitis with trigger points and data were collected at baseline and week 4 and follow-up at week 6 and the period was 9 months, and the age group was 40-60yrs taken into account for both men and women. Conclusion: The result of this study shows that both techniques are effective, but ART is more effective than METs in improving the pain, range of motion, and functional disability.

Every effort is made to avoid radiation induced toxicity in radiotherapeutic management of Ewing sarcoma. Exploitation of image guided RT (IGRT) techniques, adaptive RT, and improved target definition are among the several considerations for contemporary radiotherapeutic management with an improved toxicity profile. Currently, majority of cancer centers utilize Computed Tomography (CT) simulation for RT planning for Ewing sarcoma. While CT is an effective imaging modality, incorporation of other imaging modalities such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) may result in improved target definition for radiotherapeutic management. In this study, we assessed RT target definition for paraspinal Ewing sarcoma by use of multimodality imaging. Materials and Methods: Patients receiving RT for paraspinal Ewing sarcoma were assessed with comparative analysis to explore whether multimodality imaging improves target volume definition, interobserver and intraobserver variations for radiotherapeutic management of Ewing sarcoma. To address this critical issue, we comparatively assessed RT target volume determination by integration of MRI or by CT-simulation images only. Results: Patients referred for radiotherapeutic management of paraspinal Ewing sarcoma at the Department of Radiation Oncology, Gulhane Medical Faculty, University of Health Sciences have been studied for target volume determination by either CTonly imaging or by CT-MR registration-based imaging in this original study. Ground truth target volume has been found to be identical with CT-MR registration-based imaging in this study for radiotherapeutic management of paraspinal Ewing sarcoma. Conclusion: Our study suggests improved target volume definition for radiotherapeutic management of paraspinal Ewing sarcoma by incorporation of MRI in RT planning procedure. Admittedly, there is need for further supporting evidence.

Caused by the wearing down of the cartilaginous surfaces and thereby enabling bone surfaces to directly contact each other, the most commonly affected joints are the hip and knee. As the mechanisms of OA progression become elucidated, the bone marrow microenvironment is suspected to be more involved than previously thought. This investigation examined the quantity of hematopoietic elements T-lymphocytes, B-lymphocytes, macrophages, megakaryocytes, myeloid cells, and erythroid precursors as assessed by immunohistochemistry in formalinfixed paraffin-embedded femurs resected during hip replacement as they compared to those in a control group of normal bone marrow biopsies taken from the posterior iliac crest. Tissue analysis demonstrated a significant increase in erythroid precursors, decrease in megakaryocytes, and decrease in available iron stores in OA bone marrow. Together, these results suggest a stressed bone marrow microenvironment associated with OA joints.

of Agricultural Research Corporation (Nertiti Station), Western Jebel Marra Locality
(WJML) Central Darfur State, Sudan. The aim objective was to determine the effect of
weeds reduction and seed rates on growth and other yield attributes of Haemanthus
multiflorus plant. A split plot design was used with four replications. The main plot
included weed reduction (Weeded) and no weeding (un-weeded). Weeding was done
via hand mowing. Three seed rates (4, 8 and 12 kg/ha) were also applied as sub-plot.
Data were analyzed by STATISTIX9. The study revealed that; weeded ×12 kg/ha seed
rate treatment demonstrated significant differences from un-weeded ×8 kg/ha seed
rate and un-weeded ×12 kg/ha seed rate treatments in season (2016) which reach
(7.78, 5.38 and 5.03 tillers per plant respectively). This may be attributed to hand weed
control more than seed rates. Also weeded ×8 kg/ha seed rate treatment had a positive
effect on number of leaves per plant more than other treatments in season (2016),
which showed significant between this treatment and weeded ×4 kg/ha, un-weeded×4
kg/ha, un-weeded×8 kg/ha and un-weeded×12 kg/ha seed rates respectively (187.53,
122.25, 93.25, 96.65 and 77.1 leaves per plant respectively). As well as weeded ×12
kg/ha seed rate treatment have shown superior results on dry matter production
than other treatments which caused differences among this treatment and un-weeded
×4 kg/ha and un-weeded ×12 kg /ha seed rates treatments in the first season which
reached 846.3, 371.5 and 328.5 kg DM/ha respectively. In the second season the same
treatment (Weeded ×12 kg/ha) obtained superiority on forage productivity yield
and revealed highly significant effect between it and un-weeded ×4 kg/ha treatment.
There were also significant differences among this treatment and un-weeded ×8 kg/
ha and un-weeded ×12 kg/ha seed rates treatments which reach 1537.3, 881.3, 1119.2
and 1128.0 kg DM/ha respectively. Subsequently weeded ×12 kg/ha treatment was
recommended for Haemanthus multifolorus establishment in (WJML).

In this type of prosthesis, the selection of the cement is important because, according to the literature, the most frequent cause of its failure is detachment (33.7%); however, only few studies consider this factor. Aims: Compare the compressive stress distribution generated in a cantilever bridge when using two types of dual resin cements, through finite element analysis. Material and Methods: Two virtual models were designed using SOLIDWORKS® software version 2017. In both models, a cantilever was simulated with a pontic (lateral incisor) and a palatal retainer (upper left canine). Relyx U200 cement was used in model A and Relyx ARC cement in model B. Then, a force of 100 Newtons (N) was simulated on the palatal side of the pontic at an angle of 45° and a horizontal force of 100N on the palatal side of the canine. Results: For both models, the maximum stress was 660.891 MPa when applying oblique forces and 16.6 MPa when applying horizontal forces. Regarding the displacement, the maximum value was 0.014 mm for oblique forces and 0.00066 mm for horizontal forces. Conclusion: The results were the same for both models, where it was observed that the compressive stress values were higher when applying oblique forces compared to horizontal forces.

Here we present the evolution and development of these safety protocols in Spain by leveraging the so-called risk matrix tool. We also tested its application to 3D radiotherapy treatments. A working group comprising members of the Spanish Society of Medical Physics (SEFM), Spanish Society of Radiation Oncology (SEOR), Spanish Association of Radiotherapy Technicians (AETR), and Spanish Society for Radiation Protection (SEPR) was created with the collaboration of the Nuclear Safety Council, all under the auspices of the Spanish Health Authority, to adapt risk matrix methodology to radiotherapy applications in Spain (the Risk Matrices in Radiotherapy, or MARR project). The application we developed was a very effective tool to integrate the entire methodology as well as previous user experiences into risk analysis. Among its main qualities was the ease with which it could be modified to allow each hospital to generate analysis elements and parameters specific to its own practice and to accommodate process changes as part of their continuous improvement plans. As a continuation of this work, the MARRTA project, which includes the latest application techniques in external radiotherapy (IMRT and IGRT, among others) is currently in its latter research stages.

Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging confirmed TC Diagnosis of vaccine associated Takotsubo was made given the temporal relationship and absence of other triggers. TC may occur after booster COVID-19 vaccination and being aware of this this potential life-threatening rare association is essential for evaluating vaccine safety. Objective: Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy (TC) should be considered in patients who present with cardiac symptoms within days of receiving mRNA BNT162b2 SARS-CoV-2 vaccination, especially after the third dose. Further studies are warranted to determine the mechanisms by which mRNA vaccines may cause Cardiomyopathy and for potential long-term cardiovascular injury.

For the latter construct, a negative correlation with gratitude has been hypothesized. Methods: 301 subjects were recruited, through a snowball sampling approach, Google Forms was used for the purpose of administering the battery of questionnaires. To measure the independent variable (gratitude), McCullough's Gratitude Questionnaire (GQ-6) was used (2013), for the dependent variables (LoC, coping, attachment and psychopathological symptoms), respectively, was used: Craig's, Franklin's and Andrews' LCB (1984), Carver's BriefCOPE (1997), Feeney, Noller and Hanrahan's ASQ (1994) and Derogatis's BSCL (1975). Results: the reliability level of the main scale (GQ-6) is acceptable with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.72. A significant correlation was found between the total score of the GQ-6 scale and the LCB (r =-36), BriefCOPE (r = 20), ASQ (r =-20), BSCL (r =-30) scales. Conclusion: Significant correlations were observed between Gratitude and the constructs examined.
