No full textApproximately 4,5% of Nigerians had diabetes mellitus in 2019 (O.Oguejiofor et al., 2019). Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus comprises only less than 3% of all the patients, had double increase from 2019th values and showed 21,7% of people (M.Adeyemi Olamoyegun et al., 2024), approximately 3,9 mln in 2019 and will be almost 6 mln by 2045 by forecasting (C.E. Nwator et al., 2024). Mostly Nigerian people between 41 and 60 years get sick (O.O.Adevumi et al., 2022). Elevating in fasting blood glucose and glycosylated Hb more than 6,5% are met rather often in Nigeria whiledefining latent and even non-hidden diabetes mellitus, especially in urban populations (C.N. Okafor et al., 2021). Thyroid diseases take the second position among endocrinopathies worldwide as a whole and in Nigeria particularly with a rate of hyperthyreoidism approximately 60% and hypothyreoidism 40% (E.N.Okafor et al., 2019; B.T.Abera et al., 2021), euthyreoid goiter 53% and subclinical hyperthyreoidism 1-2% (J.O. Edah et al., 2023). Thyroid insufficiency impacts onto carbohydrate metabolism at insulin-independent diabetes mellitus at a greater extent than in people without diabetic mellitus (A.K. Jimoh et al., 2022). Water purifiers can disturb iodine capture by thyroid gland (G.Lisko et al., 2020). Nigerian females get sick on Graves’ disease at a greater extent than males (E.N.Okafor et al., 2019), even with ratio 5:1 on it (A.O. Ogbera et al., 2024) and 20:1 on all thyroid problems (J.O. Edah et al., 2023). Adrenal insufficiency has not only acquired but inheritant character (T.R.P.Mofokeng et al., 2022). Approximately 30-32% of the patients were reported to have low baseline serum cortisol level (I.E.Akase et al., 2019). Cushing’s syndrome was reported to be in adolescent girls (A.E.Edo et al., 2022), adult females (R.Mumini et al., 2024) with female:male ratio 4-5:1 (K.A.A. Abolanle et al., 2020), more seldom morbidity in children. As a whole, it is considered to be met relatively rarely in Nigerian population (R.Mumini et al., 2024)
Hemoglobinopathies types and their peculiarities in Morocco
No full textThere are two forms of thalassemia – alpha- and beta-, though clinically thalassemia is divided into minor, intermediate and major. Beta-thalassemia rate is 6-7% in Morocco (S.S. Khandker, 2023) with prevalence in Casablanca 5% among all cities (S. El Kababi, 2019), alpha-thalassemia 0,96%, particularly in the North (A.Laghmich et al., 2019), minor form 1,2% in a whole country. Carriers rate is 6,5% on beta-thalassemia (N.Marzouki, 2022), alpha-thalassemia 0,30% (I.Belmokhtar et al., 2025) and 8% on both thalassemia types (A.Laghmich et al., 2019). Morocco East became thalassemia region after its North and West (I.Belmokhtar et al., 2022). In Rabat, there was a research set which results demonstrated beta-thalassemia major dependence on HLA antigens of both I and II class (S. Ouadghiri et al., 2024). Novel beta-thalassemia variants (C6(-G) and -83(A>G) as well as Hb structural variant D-Ouled Rabah have been discovered first in Morocco. Beta-thalassemia represents the most widely-distributed hemoglobinopathy in Morocco while hemoglobinosis C takes the second position, alpha-thalassemia the third, hemoglobinosis G-Philadelphia - the fourth, D-Ouled Rabah and O-Arab the fifth one (I.Belmokhtar et al., 2025). Morocco has hemoglobinosis C representing mutant Hb with glutaminic acid replacement into lysine in its beta-chain 6 th position. Moroccan people have not only softer heterozygous form with no anemy but also harder homozygous form with moderate hemolytic anemy and Hb crystals in blood smears. Hemoglobinosis C is distributed in Southern Morocco at a greater extent (N.Marzouki, 2022). A combination between these Hb types represents more difficult pathological condition by course than separate hemoglobinoses. There are the data according to which beta-thalassemia can be in a complex with hemoglobinoses C and S with especially hard form of the disease, met in Eastern Morocco mainly (I.Belmokhtar, 2022), except Southern part of the country. Northern Moroccan city Kenitra is distinguished by sickle cell syndromes or hemoglobinosis S in children. Sickle-cell anemy carriers rate is 6,5% and morbidity 80% in the North and 10,5% in other parts of the country (N.Marzouki, 2022)
New Generation of Holographic Gratings Based on Polymer-LC Composites: POLICRYPS and POLIPHEM
No full textSoft materials exhibit very attractive mechanical, optical, and electro-optical properties and easy processing techniques. Combined with holographic techniques, they can be patterned quite easily creating many unique structures. We present here few examples, of electrically-switchable passive opto-electronic components based on composite materials obtained from initial mixtures of photocurable monomers and liquid crystalline materials. Holographic exposure results in volume gratings consisting in alternate areas of photo-crosslinked polymer and phase separated LCs, respectively. We discuss the main features of this new generation of gratings and show how most of their performances can be enhanced with respect to other kinds of composite gratings, like H-PDLCs

Abstract
Aim – to analyze the peculiarities of asthenic manifestations in patients with type 2nd diabetes mellitus (DM) in clinical and psychological perspective. Materials and methods. We examined in 543 patients with type 2nd DM. The first clinical group (CG-1) was 57 patients with type 2nd DM of mild severity; the average age in the group was (51,80±1,28) years. The second clinical group (CG-2) made up of 312 patients with type 2nd DM, moderate severity; mean age in the group was (55,10±1,12) years. The third clinical group (CG-3) included 174 patients with type 2nd DM, severe degree of severity; the average age in the group was (61.80±0,85) years. Research methods: clinical-anamnestic, clinical-psychopathological, statistical. Results. The marked prevalence of asthenic syndrome in patients wath type 2nd DM 52,30%, which is almost half among all surveyed type 2nd DM. Discovered the direct correlation of asthenic symptoms with the severity of the type 2nd DM (rs = 0.4033, p<0.01). The factors in the risk of asthenic syndrome in patients with type 2nd DM was installed, among them is dominated by a moderate and severe degree of type 2nd DM, combined with obesity 2 degrees, DEP II degree, ischemic heart disease, heart failure, degenerative dystrophic lesions of the spine. Established that there is a direct correlation asthenic syndrome to the severity of type 2nd DM, as well as the accompanying somatic pathology. Established dominance in CG-1 and CG-2 component fatigue "mental fatigue" and CG-3 component "physical fatigue".
Conclusions. Features of asthenic manifestations in patients with type 2nd DM in clinical and psychological perspective were investigated. The detection rate of asthenic manifestations among patients with type 2nd DM and the factors for their amplification were established. The organic etiology of asthenic manifestations have been proven; presentation about the stages of development of asthenic symptoms in patients with type 2nd DM were improved.
Key words: type 2nd diabetes, asthenic syndrome, mental pathology, psychodiagnosi
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
