Topical steroids as alternative to systemic hormonal treatment for inflammatory bowel diseases in pediatric practice by E. N. Fedulova, O. V. Shumilova, O. V. Fedorova, O. A. Tutina, G. V. Medyantseva

“…Etiopathogenesis of IBD represents the cascade of self-maintaining pathophysiological reactions: adaptive microcirculational, hypoxicmetabolic, autoimmune inflammatory and dysbiotic disorders emerging on a background of genetic features of the body under the effect of unfavorable environmental factors. Anti-inflammatory treatment aimed to destruction of «vicious circle» of inflammatory responses occupies the main place in the treatment of IBD. …”

SDG-enabled decarbonisation transport pathways for mid-sized Indian cities by Darshini Mahadevia, Saumya Lathia, Chandrima Mukhopadhyay

“…While the need to decarbonise is universal, the pathways to deliver deep decarbonisation vary across contexts and scales and are located within the local socio-economic realities besides local environmental factors. This paper argues that (1) climate mitigation measures in countries like India – with rising income inequality and high social diversity in caste, religion and region – need a tailored assessment approach, (2) carefully mediating climate mitigation measures – like deep decarbonisation – at the local level is crucial to enable transformative change required to meet the Paris Agreement and the UN Agenda 2030, (3) enabling ‘just’ deep decarbonisation or SDG-enabled decarbonisation at the local level requires addressing unmet needs of the vulnerable population even at the cost of increased emissions, and (4) sector-specific decarbonisation strategies at the national level must be translated into the local area’s social, economic, environmental and institutional realities. …”
