Treatment Outcomes in Eales’ Disease with Vitreous Hemorrhage at Tertiary Center in Southern Thailand

Objective: To assess the anatomical and functional outcomes of Eales’ disease with secondary vitreous hemorrhage after conservative treatment and/or pars plana vitrectomy (PPV). Material and Methods: A retrospective chart review of patients, diagnosed with Eales’ disease, at Songklanagarind Hospital from January 2003 to December 2017 was performed. Thirty-two eyes, from 28 patients, with secondary vitreous hemorrhage underwent conservative treatment and/or PPV; depending on the degree of vitreous hemorrhage, clinician consideration and patient’s decision.Results: Twenty-five eyes, with low-grade (grade 1-3) and dense (grade 4) vitreous hemorrhage, initially underwent conservative treatment; in which 64.0% achieved final best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) ≥20/70 and 56.0% achieved final BCVA ≥20/40 with complete resolution of vitreous hemorrhage. However, 8 eyes eventually required additional PPV as a result of non-resolving vitreous hemorrhage. Alternatively, 7 eyes with dense vitreous hemorrhage (grade 4) at the presentation, preferred PPV as primary treatment, which resulted in final BCVA ≥20/70 in 57.0% and final BCVA ≥20/40 in 43.0%. Post vitrectomy complications included; cataract progression (52.9%), high intraocular pressure (35.3%), epiretinal membrane (23.5%), and rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (17.6%). Conclusion: Anatomical and functional outcomes of Eales’ disease with vitreous hemorrhage were relatively good following either conservative treatment or PPV. Each treatment option offered both advantages and disadvantages. The risks and benefits of each treatment option should be discussed with each individual patient to achieve the optimal outcome. Due to being a less invasive procedure, conservative treatment should be initially performed with close monitoring. In the minority of patients, vitrectomy still plays an important role to improve visualization and enable laser photocoagulation, despite potential risk of cataract progression.
The nutritional value, bacterial count and sensory attributes of little tuna (Euthynnus affinis) floss incorporated with the banana blossom

The study aimed to evaluate the addition of banana blossom (12.5, 25, 37.5, and 50% w/w) on nutritional quality, histamine content, bacterial count, and sensory characteristic in the fish floss prepared from little tuna (Euthynnus affinis). The crude protein content, essential amino acids, lipid, and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) steadily decreased (p <0.05), while the crude fibre, carbohydrate, and ash components of the tuna floss, increased significantly (p <0.05) with increasing levels of banana blossom. The contents of protein, fat, ash, fibre, carbohydrate, and moisture ranged 28.13 – 30.27%, 14.79 – 18.02%, 4.45 – 5.68%, 2.6 – 3.5%, 27.81 – 31.01, and 16.45 – 17.39%, respectively, and most of them met the Indonesian National Standard. For essential and non-essential amino acids, the level varied about 102.82 mg.g-1 to 206.76 mg.g-1 and 79.71 mg.g-1 to 138.76 mg.g-1, respectively in the treated tuna flosses. Moreover, ranging 13.72 – 16.29% of PUFA was found in all treated flosses. The most significant effect was found in the histamine levels of the tuna flosses, especially in the 50% added floss sample. Moreover, bacterial counts and heavy metals content were lower than the maximum limits regulated by the Indonesian National Standard. For sensory evaluation, the banana blossom-added samples significantly increased (p >0.05) the acceptability score for all attributes assessed. Taken together, the tuna floss added with 37.5% of banana blossom may be potentially developed as a low-histamine tuna-based product with high ffibre andEPA+DHA, as well as highly acceptable for consumers.
Clinical Outcome of Ventricular Septal Rupture Complicating Acute Myocardial Infarction – A Single Centre Retrospective Study

Objective: Ventricular Septal Rupture (VSR) following Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) is a fatal mechanical complication with high incidence of mortality. The aim of this study is to explore the clinical outcomes and to identify the factors related to early mortality in patients with VSR after AMI. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective study and we collected clinical data of 21 adult patients with VSR following AMI from April 2012 and October 2020 who got admitted at our tertiary care centre. The patients were classified into two groups. The first group consisted of patients who died within two weeks from the diagnosis of VSR following AMI and the second group comprised of patients who survived more than two weeks after VSR. Results: A total of 21 patients (mean age of 66.19±9.47 years) were enrolled in this study. The most common MI was Anterior MI (71.4%) and the location of VSR was predominantly in the anterior and apical septum (76.2%). The overall early mortality was 85.9% (n=18). 80.95% (n=17) of patients died within two weeks of diagnosis of AMI. Of the 4 patients who survived more than two weeks, three patients survived. The operative mortality in our study was 47%. Conclusion: The prognosis for VSR in AMI remains poor. Renal failure is accompanied with high rate of early mortality in patients with VSR complicating AMI. History of smoking is associated with poor outcome.
Incidence Rate and Time to Occurrence of Renal Impairment and Chronic Kidney Disease among Thai HIV-infected Adults with Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate Use

Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) is a major antiretroviral therapy for Thai human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected adults. TDF is associated with a decrease in renal function. There is limited data about the use of TDF with the incidence and time to renal impairment and chronic kidney disease (CKD) in Thai HIV-infected adults. To study the association of TDF with the incidence rate and duration of renal impairment and CKD in Thai patients. A retrospective cohort study in Thai naïve HIV-infected adults was conducted to compare the incidence rate and time to renal impairment and CKD in TDF and non-TDF groups. The incidence rate was analyzed by person-time. Time to renal impairment and CKD were analyzed by Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank tests. A total of 1,400 patients were enrolled. The incidence rates of renal impairment in TDF and non-TDF groups were 27.66/1,000 and 5.54/1,000 person-years. The rate ratio was 4.99 (95% confidence interval [CI] 2.66–9.35). The incidence rates of CKD in both groups were not significantly different. Themean difference of eGFR between the TDF and non-TDF groups was 1.92 ml/min/1.73 m2 (p = 0.022). Time to onset of renal impairment between the TDF and non-TDF groups was found to differ by approximately 20 months. The incidence rate of renal impairment was about five times higher in the TDF group. A rapid decline of eGFR occurred in the first 2–3 years of treatment. Therefore, the renal function of HIV-infected patients should be monitored so that the severity of renal impairment could be evaluated and CKD could be prevented.
How do sparkling wine producers adopt a sub-appellation? Evidence from an exploratory study on heroic Prosecco Superiore Rive

This paper investigates why wineries producing Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Protected Denomination of Origin (CVPP) wines decided to adopt the sub-appellation (SA) “Rive” as a way to increase the value of their wines. We estimated both a logistic and a linear regression to explain Rive SA firms’ choices and market growth drivers, respectively. By using data gathered from CVPP producers, we divided wineries into two groups, those that have adopted the Rive SA and those that have not. By means of a stepwise procedure, we categorized factors that were likely to explain the Rive SA choice within a set of structural, marketing and wine tourism-related variables. The results showed that structural drivers such as the human capital of younger producers, pressure tank sizes, competitive positioning in the market and in the field of wine tourism hospitality, and involvement in ad hoc promotional activities (i.e., Primavera del Prosecco) have the greatest effects on the choice of the Rive SA. The synergistic effects of cellar door sales, small firm sizes and specific foreign markets (i.e., the United Kingdom and the United States) have emerged, on the other hand, as vital factors in the growth of the Rive SA in terms of market share. The adoption of the Rive SA may play an important role in supporting and valuing the heroic viticulture-based economy and may help the CVPP Tutelary Consortium to appropriately undertake promotional strategies to differentiate wines and improve competitiveness. This could have positive effects on wine tourism, hospitality and winery visits in light of the recent recognition of the CVPP as the 55th Italian UNESCO World Heritage site.
Invitro Antimicrobial Activities of Mitracarpus scaber Against Some Common Bacteria of Aquatic Origin

Some plants have been reported to be of medicinal values and reserve some antimicrobial properties. One of such plants is Mitracarpus scaber and its effect on bacterial growth is evaluated. The study aimed at evaluating the phytochemical analyses and antimicrobial potentials of Mitracarpus scaber against aquatic bacteria including Aeromonas, Bacillus, Vibrio and Staphylococcus Spp. Leaves of Mitracarpus scaber were collected, washed and air dried and phytochemical analysis and antimicrobial investigation of ethanolic and aqueous extracts of the leaves were carried out against a panel of bacteria isolated from diseased catfish from various farms. The phytoconstituents detected include saponins, tannins, flavonoids, tarpenoids, steroids, anthraquinones and alkaloids in both aqueous and ethanolic extracts. Both aqueous and ethanolic extracts of M. scaber showed varying degree of antibacterial activities but ethanolic extract showed a higher activity against the pathogens tested. The ethanolic extract had zones of inhibition similar to that of standard antibiotics (enrofloxacin) across all tested microbes. The lowest minimum inhibitory concentration of ethanolic extract of M. scaber was against Bacillus sp with 10mg/ml while the highest was 85mg/ml against Staphylococcus species. The results of the assays showed promising evidences that M. scaber is a potential antibacterial agent against aquatic microbes. However, further studies are recommended to fractionate its constituents and determine the in vitro and in vivo anti-microbial activities and the exact mechanism of action of the constituents.

1Radiation Oncology Clinic, Kartal Dr. Lütfi Kırdar City Hospital, Istanbul, 34890, Turkey; 2Radiation Oncology Clinic, Marmara University Pendik Education and Research Hospital, Istanbul, 34899, Turkey Background: This study aimed to examine the practice patterns of radiation oncologists in Turkey regarding radiotherapy to the regional lymph nodes, including internal mammary lymph nodes (IMNs), and identify the factors influencing their clinical decisions in breast cancer patients. Methods: A nationwide, 19-point questionnaire was sent to the physician members of the Turkish Society for Radiation Oncology (TROD). Results: In total, 165 radiation oncologists completed the survey, corresponding to a 27% response rate. Regional radiotherapy was used in 64.2% of the patients with 1–3 axillary lymphatic involvement and unfavorable prognostic factors. In contrast, 61.2% of the respondents indicated that IMN should be included in the target volume for regional radiotherapy when the patient had one positive node after axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) in the inner quadrant and central region tumors. However, 71.5% of the respondents chose to include the IMN in the non-inner quadrant and non-central region tumors for patients with four or more positive nodes after ALND. The decision to offer internal mammary lymph node radiotherapy (IMNRT) varied widely and significantly among respondents, years in practice, and the rates of dedicating their clinical time to patients with breast cancer. Conclusion: The results of this survey revealed significant national variation in attitudes regarding the treatment of IMN. Thus, this study may also help document the impact of future studies on clinical practice.
Psychometric Properties for Well-being: Developing and Validating Happiness Instrument

There are various factors that make human beings feel happy, one of them is possessing a good psychological well-being that they had. The purpose of this study was to identify an element of happiness that fulfil human’s necessity in their life, then develop the happiness measurement to an appropriate instrument. This research was conducted in different states in Malaysia using a survey method with quantitative approach. The number of samples of about 475 Malaysian from various stages of age using the purposive sampling technique. Data of happiness instrument was obtained through Al-Ghazali’s concept of happiness which includes religious knowledge, righteous practices and individual aspect and they act as the independent variables. Meanwhile, happiness itself acts as the dependent variable. The findings were then analysed using SPSS and PLS. Based on the structural equation modelling, the study found that religious knowledge, practices, and individual constructs have significant relationship with happiness. The average variance extracted (AVE) values ranges between 0.501 0.615, which is an acceptable valid range. It can be observed that there is a significant relation between individual construct and happiness (t=2.817, p<0.005), practices and happiness (t=6.805, p<0.000), and religious knowledge and happiness (t=3.947, p<0.000). Moreover, the positive sign implies that there is a direct relationship between the dependent and independent variables.
Top Executives Work-Life Balance, Job Burnout and Turnover Intentions: Moderated-Mediation with Knowledge Sharing Culture

New Zealand top executives are seldom explored, and this paper examines the role of work-life balance (WLB) on top executives’ turnover intentions, with job burnout mediating this relationship. It is expected that top executives with strong WLB will be aided with stronger wellbeing (lower burnout) and stronger work behaviours (lower turnover). Beyond these relationships, knowledge sharing culture (KSC) is included as a moderator and combined, a moderated mediation model is tested. Using data from 126 New Zealand top executives, we find that WLB negatively related to emotional exhaustion, cynicism, and turnover intentions, with cynicism fully mediating the influence of WLB on turnover intentions. A significant moderated mediation effect is found, which indicates that the indirect effect of WLB on turnover intentions through cynicism did vary, with the indirect effect diminishing as KSC becomes stronger. At levels above 0.2SD of KSC, WLB no longer has a significant effect on turnover. The findings add new insights into understanding turnover intentions in New Zealand, especially around boundary conditions of KSC, and highlight the complexity of executive talent retention.
A novel Thermothelomyces heterothallicus PA2S4T fungus isolated from the soil induces chitinase production using orange peel flour

Chitinases are enzymes capable of hydrolysing the β-1,4 bonds of chitin releasing chitooligosaccharides and N-acetylglucosamine and are widely used in food, pharmaceutical, and agricultural industries. Microorganisms are potential producers of this enzyme; however, there are no reports in the literature on the production of chitinase by fungi of the genus Thermothelomyces. Thus, this work aimed to investigate the production of extracellular chitinase using alternative carbon sources by the fungus isolated from soil, Thermothelomyces heterothallicus PA2S4T. The fungus was cultivated in a liquid medium supplemented with carbon sources and incubated at 40°C under stationary conditions for seven days. Orange peel flour was the best inducer for extracellular chitinase, with 82.3 U/mL of enzymatic activity. The highest production of chitinase was obtained on the tenth day, and the optimum pH and temperature for enzyme activity were 4.5 and 50ºC, respectively. Therefore, the fungus T. heterothallicus PA2S4T proved to be promising in the production of extracellular chitinase, which presents pH and temperature characteristics favourable to biotechnological application.
Content-based image retrieval for fabric images: A survey

In recent years, a great deal of research has been conducted in the area of fabric image retrieval, especially the identification and classification of visual features. One of the challenges associated with the domain of content-based image retrieval (CBIR) is the semantic gap between low-level visual features and high-level human perceptions. Generally, CBIR includes two main components, namely feature extraction and similarity measurement. Therefore, this research aims to determine the content-based image retrieval for fabric using feature extraction techniques grouped into traditional methods and convolutional neural networks (CNN). Traditional descriptors deal with low-level features, while CNN addresses the high-level, called semantic features. Traditional descriptors have the advantage of shorter computation time and reduced system requirements. Meanwhile, CNN descriptors, which handle high-level features tailored to human perceptions, deal with large amounts of data and require a great deal of computation time. In general, the features of a CNN's fully connected layers are used for matching query and database images. In several studies, the extracted features of the CNN's convolutional layer were used for image retrieval. At the end of the CNN layer, hash codes are added to reduce search time.

Vegetation inside: a comparative analysis of leaf pigments and chlorophyll fluorescence in variegated plants

The characteristic plants of understory environments show varied colors in their leaves, called variegations. These tend to regulate, through their concentrations of leaf pigments, their photosynthetic processes. The objective of this research was to carry out a comparative analysis of leaf pigment concentrations and chlorophyll a fluorescence parameters in four species of variegated plants, Fittonia albivenis, Alternanthera ficoidea, Tradescantia spathacea and Hypoestes phyllostachya, as well as the control species, Jasminum mesnyi, and Tradescantia pallida. To determine which are most suitable for environments with high and low light intensities. The analysis of leaf pigments were carried out by spectrophotometry, and to analyze the fluorescence emission of chlorophyll-a PAM-2500 fluorometer was used, whose parameters were calculated from the JIP test. The chlorophyll a levels ranged from 27.67 to 110.88 (μg mL gMF), those of chlorophyll b ranged from 10.29 to 40.64 (μg mL gMF). Carotenoid titers ranged from 2.6275 to 26.1925 (μg mL gMF), and anthocyanins ranged from 0 to 2.25679 (μg mL gMF), with the highest titers occurring for the control species J. mesnyi and the variegated F. albivenis. The fluorescence parameters differed statistically among the variegated plant species concerning the controls. We conclude that the species T. spathacea presents better adaptation to environments with high levels of light radiation. In environments with more significant variation in light radiation, the species variegated H. phyllostachya and A. ficoidea will develop better. Finally, the species variegated F. albivenis must be maintained in environments with low levels of light radiation.
