Effect of Intracoronary Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa Inhibitor and Manual Aspiration Thrombectomy on Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Outcome in High Thrombus Burden Patients

Background: The opening of a related artery in myocardial infarction as quickly as possible is the key to treating infarct. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for recanalization of related infarcted arteries is considered the most effective therapy for myocardial infarction. Objective: To estimate the intracoronary delivery of glycoprotein IIb/IIIa following manual thrombus aspiration on outcomes post PCI for patients with high thrombus burden. Patients and Methods: This was a randomized control trial that was conducted on 48 patients presented to Zagazig University Hospital Emergency Cardiac Unit with ST elevation myocardial infarction for primary percutaneous coronary intervention, the need for reperfusion therapy was assessed according the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Guidelines for the management of acute myocardial infarction in patients presenting with ST-segment elevation. Patients were randomized into three groups: (1) Manual aspiration group (16 patients). (2) Manual aspiration with intracoronary glycoprotein IIb/IIIa group (19 patients), and (3) Intracoronary glycoprotein IIb/IIIa group (13 patients). Results: There was significant difference between manual aspiration group, manual aspiration with intracoronary glycoprotein IIb/IIIa group and intracoronary glycoprotein IIb/IIIa group as regard the outcomes in high thrombus burden patients. Conclusion: Combination glycoprotein IIb/IIIa and manual aspiration is better then single modality for high thrombus burden patients.
LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT : ATOOL FOR INNOVATION IN LATIN AMERICA Environmental Impact assessment of a semi-intensive beef cattle production in Brazil ’ s Northeast

Purpose The aim of this study is to identify and evaluate the main environmental impacts related to semi-intensive beef cattle production system in the State of Bahia, in Brazil’s Northeast. Methods A cradle to gate study was undertaken in a beef cattle production system comprising two stages: calves production in one farm (farm 1) and cattle production in another farm (farm 2), both located in the central-southern meso-region of Bahia. The functional unit was 1 kg live weight. Impact assessment was performed using five impact categories from the ReCiPe method. Results and discussion When compared to calves, the cattle production had the greatest contributions in all of the five studied impact categories. The process pasture cultivation had expressive environmental impacts in all categories, with 70.05 % for climate change (CC), 82.01 % for terrestrial acidification (TA), 76.53 % for fossil depletion (FD), 86.14 % for freshwater eutrophication (FE) and 100 % for agricultural land occupation (ALO). In CC and TA, the principal elementary flow was the direct emissions due to the use of mineral fertilizers. In FE and FD, the dominant flow was related to the use of phosphate fertilizer. In ALO, the process pasture cultivation was predominant due to the physical area of the farms, which is a characteristic of pasturebased production systems. The processes breedingrearing and fattening were second in the contribution analysis, with 29.95 % and 17.99 %, respectively, for CC and TA, due to the enteric methane (CH4) and the direct emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O) volatilization from the animal excreta. Conclusions The cattle production is responsible for the greater part of impacts, compared to the calves production. The direct emissions from fertilizers used in the pastures, from enteric emissions and from animal wastes in the breeding-rearing and fattening processes were identified as the critical points of the analysed cattle production system. Measures aiming at the improvement of the feed conversion of the animals and at the substitution of synthetic nitrogen fertilizers by natural nitrogen fixation can considerably contribute to the reduction of environmental impacts of these production systems. Accordingly, the respective modifications should be considered in future studies on the potential of these measures to enhance the environmental performance of semi-intensive beef cattle production. These results will complement other similar studies conducted in other regions of the country, following the tendency of growing usage of the life cycle assessment methodology in Brazilian agricultural and livestock systems.
Sellin' in the Rain: Weather, Climate, and Retail Sales

I apply a novel machine-learning based “weather index” method to daily store- level sales data for a national apparel and sporting goods brand to examine short-run responses to weather and long-run adaptation to climate. I find that even when considering potentially offsetting shifts of sales between outdoor and indoor stores, to the firm's website, or over time, weather has significant persistent effects on sales. This suggests that weather may increase sales volatility as more severe weather shocks be- come more frequent under climate change. Consistent with adaptation to climate, I find that sensitivity of sales to weather decreases with historical experience for precipitation, snow, and cold weather events, but-surprisingly-not for extreme heat events. This suggests that adaptation may moderate some but not all of the adverse impacts of climate change on sales. Retailers can respond by adjusting their staffing, inventory, promotion events, compensation, and financial reporting.

Nonlinearities in the Exchange Rate Pass-Through: The Role of Inflation Expectations

This paper investigates nonlinearities in the exchange rate pass-through (ERPT) to consumer and import prices by estimating a smooth transition regression model with different inflation expectations regimes for five inflation targeting countries (the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Sweden) and three non-targeters ( the US, the Euro-Area and Switzerland) respectively over the period January 1993-August 2021. Both market and survey measures of inflation expectations are used as the transition variable, and the nonlinear model is also assessed against a benchmark linear model. The pass-through to both consumer and import prices is found to be stronger in the nonlinear model and in some cases is close to being complete. Also, it is stronger for import prices than for consumer prices. Both seem to be more responsive to exchange rate changes when market expectations of both consumers and producers are considered instead of expectations from consumer surveys only. Finally, inflation expectations appear to affect the ERPT more in inflation targeting countries.
Dynamics of Networked Framing: Automated Frame Analysis of Government Media and the Public on Weibo With Pandemic Big Data

Networked framing focuses on how the public becomes gatekeepers on social media. To unpack the dynamics of networked framing, we conducted an automated frame analysis to identify the shift of frame structures of government media (N = 12,090) and the public (N = 1.49 million) on Weibo during the COVID-19 pandemic. We found a moderate level of frame alignment between government media and the public, with high divergence observed during the pandemic’s initial stage. The public challenged government media frames by deploying unique frame functions and creating new frames, but their frame network was fragmented relative to that of government media, which constructed a cohesive network of frames to enhance discursive control.

Aim of Work: To study the clinical outcomes of combined simultaneous femtosecond kerarings implantation and corneal collagen cross-linking in advanced keratoconus. Methods: A prospective study was conducted on 25 eyes of 33 patients were diagnosed as advanced keratoconus. The study population underwent combined simultaneous femtosecond kerarings implantation and corneal collagen cross-linking. Results were reported at the 1 st , 3 rd , 6 th and 12 th months post-operatively Results: a significant improvement was found in postoperative (UCVA) (BCVA) and (SER) started form the first month postoperatively and continued all over the year (P < 0,001). The flattest k (K1) the steepest k (K2) and the average k (Ka) showed marked decrease after 3 month and became just stable in next 3 months and increase slightly thereafter (P=0.001). Conclusions: Combined simultaneous femtosecond kerarings implantation and corneal collagen cross-linking is an effective method in treating cases with advanced keratoconus
RARE ELEMENTS DISTRIBUTION AND MINERALIZATION POTENTIALITY OF PEGMATITES IN GABAL ABU SAMYUK GRANITE, NORTH EASTERN DESERT, EGYPT

Numerous pegmatite bodies are hosted by Gabal Abu Samyuk perthitic granite, which constituting part of the Late Neoproterozoic Gattar granites in the North Eastern Desert of Egypt. The pegmatite bodies have in most cases lenticular and irregular outlines within the host granite. They range in size from few meters to 25m length and their width usually less than 7m, although small pockets are also present. Most of the pegmatites display simple zoning structure that consists of feldspar-rich outer zone and internal quartz core. The gamma-ray measurements over these pegmatites indicated that some bodies are radiometrically anomalous, dominantly in the feldspar-rich outer zones. The radioactive zones were sampled with the aim to study the mineralogical compositions, distribution of trace elements and assessment of the mineralization potentiality of these pegmatites. The mineralogical data of the mineral separates revealed that the rare metals primarily comprised zircon, fergusonite-(Y), columbite-(Fe) and xenotime-(Y). Trace and rare earth elements are extremely variable with different degrees of enrichment in Zr, Th, U, Nb, Ta, Y and REE. The studied pegmatites show a NYF-type mineralogical and geochemical signature, whereas the enrichment of rare element can be explained by high degrees of fractional crystallization of a suite of volatile-rich magmas.
The Prevalence and Diagnosis of Depression in People with Mild or Borderline Intellectual Disability: Multiple Instrument Testing Tells Us More

ABSTRACT Introduction Estimates of the prevalence of depression in people with intellectual disability range from almost nonexistent to 39%. We analyzed the outcomes of three screening instruments to find out more about the prevalence in people with mild or borderline disability. Methods 102 Dutch individuals residing in institutions or living independently took part. The Beck Depression Inventory, the Glasgow Depression Scale and the Signaallijst Depressie voor Zwakzinnigen were used. Results Using the standard cutoff values, the numbers of people identified as depressed by the tests were 31%, 44%, and 22%, respectively. These were high numbers, and they did not refer to the same cases. When scoring above cutoff on all three tests simultaneously was the criterion, 13.7% of the participants were identified as depressed. Conclusion The combined use of several measuring instruments taught us that depression in people with intellectual disabilities might occur more frequently than often assumed: 13.7% might be the lower limit of its actual prevalence. People in this group still run the risk of being underdiagnosed.
The impact of cell size on morphogen gradient precision

Tissue patterning during embryonic development is remarkably precise. We numerically determine the impact of the cell diameter, gradient length, and the morphogen source on the variability of morphogen gradients and show that the positional error increases with the gradient length relative to the size of the morphogen source, and with the square root of the cell diameter and the readout position. We provide theoretical explanations for these relationships, and show that they enable high patterning precision over developmental time for readouts that scale with expanding tissue domains, as observed in the Drosophila wing disc. Our analysis suggests that epithelial tissues generally achieve higher patterning precision with small cross-sectional cell areas. An extensive survey of measured apical cell areas shows that they are indeed small in developing tissues that are patterned by morphogen gradients. Enhanced precision may thus have led to the emergence of pseudostratification in epithelia, a phenomenon for which the evolutionary benefit had so far remained elusive.
PARENTAL SOCIALIZATION ABOUT SEXISM: DO SOCIALIZATION BELIEFS MATCH BEHAVIOR?

To explore processes by which mothers socialize children’s attitudes about gender stereotypes and sexism, we studied 62 mothers and their 6- to 8-year-old children. Mother-child dyads learned of a hypothetical camp director’s use of gender stereotypes to assign campers to various activities. Resulting conversations revealed variations in the types, frequencies, and patterns of participants’ discussions. Mothers with more flexible gender attitudes and higher feminist endorsements were more likely to explicitly refute gender stereotypes in conversations with their children. Children with more flexible gender attitudes were more likely to have mothers who personalized content during the dyadic conversation. When mothers questioned stereotypes through elaboration and personal connections, children were more likely to refute stereotypes in subsequent intervals within the conversation. State space grids mapped parent-child conversational patterns and showed an association between more varied dyadic conversational patterns and children’s less stereotyped attitudes. Results suggest that mothers who use personally meaningful and varied strategies to communicate with their children about bias have children who have less-entrenched gender stereotypes and are more likely to confront others’ sexism.
Acrylamide levels in some food products in Egyptian market and protective effect of extra virgin olive oil.

A (ACR) is one of the most important contaminants occurring in foods heated at high temperatures. The aim of this study is to study the different levels of acrylamide in some food products in the Egyptian market and investigate the protective efficacy of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) against hepatotoxicity induced by ACR. Forty-eight male rats were divided into eight groups. Group A1 was fed on a basal diet as a control group. Groups A2, A3, and A4 were fed on diets containing ACR at 500, 750, and 1000 μg/kg BW rat/day, respectively. The other groups (A5, A6, and A7) were fed on the same diet used in groups A2, A3, and A4, respectively, and supplemented with EVOO (0.5 mL/kg BW rat/day). Group A8 was fed a basal diet and supplemented with extra virgin olive oil (0.5 mL/kg BW rat/day). After 28 days, the rats fed with EVOO and ACR rats significantly decreased their levels of glucose. The treatment also resulted in a significant improvement in the lipid profile, liver functions, kidney functions, and total antioxidants. However, EVOO significantly increased the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione (GSH), and glutathione peroxidase (GPS) in the blood of ACR rats. The treated groups showed a significant decrement in thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances like malondialdehyde (MDA) in their serum. Treatment with EVOO reduces the histopathological and liver abnormalities associated with ACR since the study of the induction of redox enzymes is considered to be a reliable marker for evaluating the antiperoxidative efficacy of EVOO.
Contact Lens Use Patterns and Safety Determinants among Adolescents in Western Saudi Arabia

Background: Besides medical use, cosmetic contact lens (CL) use, associated with several ophthalmological risks, is gaining substantial popularity, especially among the young. Objective: This study aimed to estimate eye risk extent related to CL use among adolescents and understand the association between risk level and CL use patterns and adherence to hygiene and maintenance instructions. Method: A population-based, cross-sectional study was conducted among adolescents aged 14–19 years residing in the Western region of Saudi Arabia. A structured online questionnaire was used to explore the demographic data, CL use patterns, levels of adherence to safety behaviors in CL use, and experienced eye complaints. Result: Of 350 participants, 248 (70.9%) used CLs. There was an overwhelming female predominance (93.1%) among users, with occasional, cosmetic, and combined cosmetic-medical uses without prescription or follow-up being the most frequent pattern. Practices in CL hygiene and care were unsatisfactory, with poorer adherence to maintenance instructions. Clinically significant complications (CSC), defined as the presence of at least one of the clinically significant symptoms or any two other symptoms, were reported in 38.7% of CL users (95% CI = 32.6%–45.1%). CSC risk independently increased after 5 years of use (OR = 3.59, 95% CI = 1.51–8.52) and in double-purpose use (OR = 3.34, 95% CI = 1.52–7.37) by reference to cosmetic use only, while adherence levels to CL removal during sleep (OR = 0.21, 95% CI = 0.05–0.92) and not using CLs after the expiration date (OR = 0.28, 95% CI = 0.11–0.73) were protective factors against CSC. Conclusion: Young Saudi adolescents are highly exposed to unregulated CL use with significant ophthalmological risks. This has several clinical, public health, and policy-making implications. Keywords: Contact lenses, habits, teenagers, Jeddah, cosmetic, refractive
Factors Associated with Death Anxiety among Community Dwelling Older Adults

Death anxiety is a concept used to indicate concern about death awareness. High level of death anxiety has negative consequences on elderly people and may lead to maladaptation, dissatisfaction with life, feeling of despair or loss and lead to low self-esteem. Objective: Identify the factors associated with death anxiety among community dwelling older adults. Setting: The study was conducted at two of the post offices affiliated to the Ministry of communications and information technology in Alexandria, namely Moharram Bek and Sidi Bishr post offices. Subjects: 130 male and female older adults aged 60 years and more, living in the community, identified with death anxiety, able to communicate and willing to participate in the study. Tools: Five tools were used namely, The Arabic Scale of Death Anxiety (ASDA), Older Adults' Socio-Demographic and health well-being Structured Interview Schedule, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), Religious Commitment Inventory-10 (RCI-10), and the Satisfaction with Life scale. Results: The main findings of the current study revealed that death anxiety is prevalent among older adults with different levels either low, moderate, or high level. A strong negative relation between death anxiety and perceived physical and psychological wellbeing, Religious commitment, Perceived Social Support, and Satisfaction with life. Conclusion: It can be concluded that; age, education, presence of chronic diseases, perceived physical and psychological wellbeing, religious commitment, satisfaction with life and social support affected the occurrence of death anxiety among older adults. Recommendations: Counseling older adults about their anxiety related to death in order to help them cope with the situation. Emphasizing the importance of social support to decrease death anxiety.
Solid/liquid interface evolution including seaweed morphology during directional solidification of Co-Sn alloys

The directional solidification of Co–Sn alloys at 300 K/cm was performed systematically with particular attention to the uncommon ‘seaweed’ morphology observed in this system. As withdrawal velocity increased, the quenched solid/liquid interface of Co-20 at. -% Sn hypoeutectic transformed from a planar of α-Co/-Co3Sn2 lamellar eutectic to dendritic α-Co + eutectic, and the planar interface of Co-24 at. -% Sn eutectic destabilised to cellular. As for Co-30 at. -% Sn hypereutectic, the planar interface transited to dendritic -Co3Sn2 + eutectic and then to seaweed -Co3Sn2 + eutectic. The increase of withdrawal velocity results in primary α-Co or -Co3Sn2 phase growing ahead of the coupled eutectic, and the leading distance is gradually increased with withdrawal velocity. The spacing of the two tips of -Co3Sn2 seaweed in the alloys followed a power law, , and the tip splitting frequency versus growth velocity as the function of .
PERFORMANCE OF YIELD AND ITS COMPONENTS OF FOURTEEN HULL-LESS BARLEY GENOTYPES GROWN IN FIVE LOCATIONS IN EGYPT

Barley performance varies among genotypes and/or due to the different response of a genotype to the prevailing climatic factors where it is grown. The aim of the present investigation was to study the performance of some promising lines and new varieties as well as some cultivars of hull-less barley under the conditions of five locations of Egypt, to identify which one could be grown and produce high grain yield all over locations or in a specific location. This investigation was carried out at five locations (Nubaria, Sakha, Gimmeza, Quntra Sharq and Giza) in two seasons (2013/2014 and 2014/2015) using a randomized complete block design with three replications and 14 genotypes, i.e. 9 promising lines, three cultivated varieties Giza 129, Giza 130 and Giza 131 and the two new varieties Giza 135 and Giza 136. Results indicated a negative and significant correlation between either days to flowering or days to maturity and grain yield and its components in both seasons and combined across seasons. The results showed that L2 and L3 are promising lines, Giza 135 and Giza 136 new varieties produced high yield and its components. From these results it could be concluded that the most suitable genotypes for Nubaria location were L2, L3, L4 and Giza 136 while the most suitable ones for Sakha and Gimmeza locations were L2, L3 and Giza 136. However, Giza 136, Giza 135 and L3 were the most suitable genotypes for Quntra Sharq location. Meanwhile, L2, L3, L7 and Giza 136 genotypes were superior at Giza location. This means that L3 genotype and Giza 136 cultivar had stable productivity under the conditions of these locations. Also L3 genotype was a promising line to be released as a good variety in general and under high productive environments in particular. However, Giza 136 was stable and also adapted to less productive environments.
