When Immunity Falls Short: Meningoencephalitis Despite Vaccination - A Case ReportAbstract
Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) significantly impacts the central and peripheral nervous systems, particularly in immunocompromised individuals. This case report details a rare presentation of VZV meningoencephalitis in a 42-year-old woman with interstitial lung disease and connective tissue disease undergoing lung transplant evaluation who presented with a thunderclap headache and a new-onset seizure. Despite normal initial MRI findings, further investigation with PCR of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) revealed the pre [...] 718 3819 |

Abstract
This study aims to validate two predictive mortality scores for patients with COVID-19 to support clinical decision-making in those who require hospitalization. The tomographic patterns found can be added to the original scores to increase their predictive power. Retrospective, analytical, observational, and cross-sectional studies were carried out in two phases. 489 medical records of patients with COVID-19 hospitalized at “Daniel A. Carrión” Hospital in Huancayo (located at 3,250 meters above sea level) were revi [...] 611 3811 |
Illness Perceptions and Their Impact on Treatment Adherence among Renal Transplant Patients in the COVID-19 PandemicAbstract
Although immunosuppressive drugs are essential and effective in improving the health status of renal transplant patients, they also make them more vulnerable to the risk of infection with COVID-19, which has become a significant concern for many patients. Perhaps this is what makes their way of thinking and perception impact their adherence to taking immunosuppressants. Therefore, this study reveals the possibility of an impact of illness perception and some sociodemographic and clinical factors on treatment adhere [...] 661 3774 |
The Contribution of Dietary Fatty Acids to Prediction of All-Cause Mortality in a Cohort of Middle-Aged Men Followed-Up for 61 Years Until ExtinctionAbstract
To describe the contribution of three classes of dietary fatty acids to all-cause mortality and age at death among middle-aged men followed up for 61 years until extinction. The cohort comprised 1712 men aged 40-59 years at entry examination in 1960, belonging to the Italian Rural Areas of the Seven Countries Study of Cardiovascular Diseases. A dietary survey allowed to estimate dietary fatty acids [saturated (SAFA), mono-unsaturated (MUFA), poly-unsaturated (PUFA) and their ratios (M/S, P/S)] that were fed as poss [...] 847 3715 |
Atimiaphobia: A Phenomenological Account of the Fear of Losing Honor or Being Labeled Shameless due to the Sexual Values Assigned to Femininityby
Waqar Husain
Abstract
Honor and shame function as moral currencies in many collectivistic cultures, shaping individual behavior, gender roles, and psychosocial well-being. This paper introduces Atimiaphobia—a newly proposed specific phobia defined as the intense and persistent fear of losing honor (particularly for men) or being labeled as shameless (particularly for women). Rooted in patriarchal, collectivist, and honor-based cultures, atimiaphobia manifests through intrusive thoughts, hypervigilance, emotional turmoil, and compu [...] 657 3708 |

Cytogenetic and ISSR-Markers Polymorphism in the Population of Local Ukrainian Lebedyn CowsAbstract
The preservation of the fund of local breeds of agricultural animals, which are breeding materials for the creation of new ones and the improvement of existing ones, meets the FAO requirements, which are the protection of biological diversity. The study of the genetic structure of cows of the local Lebedyn breed, which was bred in Ukraine, using cytogenetic and molecular genetic methods, is aimed at establishing information about the structure of the gene pool of these animals and the uniqueness of their genotype.
