Physicochemical characterization and correlation of raw cow’s milk according to classification assigned in Panama

Introduction. Currently, there are no bibliographic or statistical records that allow establishing a correlation between the physical-chemical quality characteristics of raw cow’s milk produced in the Republic of Panama and the classification it receives. Objective. To characterize and quantify the physical-chemical parameters of the quality of raw cow’s milk and correlate these characteristics with the classification that milk receives in Panama. Materials and methods. A stratified sampling was carried out according to the classification of raw cow´s milk (grade A, B, and C), 48 of grade A, 71 of grade B, and 393 of grade C. Random samples were taken in Cocle, Veraguas, Herrera and Los Santos during the rainy season from June to September 2018. In the Chiriquí province, the sampling was conducted during the dry season, from January to March 2019. In addition, it was necessary to have at least 512 producers or farms, so that the analysis reached a confidence level of 95 %, a standard deviation of 5 %, and a limit of error of 5 %. Results. The values found allow us to consider that the milk produced in Panama has the physical-chemical characteristics according to international standards. The correlation analysis indicated that the protein had a high relationship with solids non-fat (SNF), density (D), and lactose (L) (0.93, 0.91, and 0.96, respectively); also L is strongly related to SNF and D (0.94 and 0, 91, respectively). Conclusions. The analysis of variance did not allow to establish significant differences between the three existing classifications in the country, which allow a distribution of milk according to the grades of these parameters. However, it was possible to establish the existing correlation between some of these parameters.

An Evaluation on Sealing Ability of Calcium Silicate-Based Cements and Glass Ionomer Cement as Perforation Repair Materials

Aims: The study evaluated the sealing ability of Biodentine, MTA Repair HP, and Glass ionomer cement as perforation repair materials by using a Stereomicroscopic analysis. Study Design: Experimental in vitro study Methodology: The access cavity was prepared on 45 samples of maxillary and mandibular teeth with a perforation of the standardized diameter of a No. 2 round bur at the bottom of the pulp chamber. All 45 samples were divided into three different experimental groups of 15 samples each. Group A (n=15), Group B (n=15) and Group C (n=15). The furcation repairs of the samples in groups A, B and C were carried out using Biodentine, MTA Repair HP and glass ionomer cement respectively. All sealed furcation perforation samples were stored at room temperature for 24 hours. Two layers of nail varnish were coated on all the surfaces to avoid dye penetration except for 2 mm around the area of the perforation site. After complete drying, all specimens were separately soaked in 2% methylene blue solution for 48 hours, cleaned with water and dried for 24 hours. They were sectioned buccolingually. The perforation wall of the sectioned sample with the greatest dye penetration was selected for microleakage analysis. Results: The collected data from the three experimental groups were subjected to statistical analysis using one-way analysis of variance and Tukey's post hoc test for multiple comparisons of mean differences in dye penetration. The Biodentine group had the significantly lowest dye penetration length compared with the MTA Repair HP and glass ionomer cement groups (P<0.001). Conclusion: Biodentine showed better sealing ability as a repair material for furcation perforations compared to the other two materials.
COVID-19 Prevalence and Outcomes among Individuals with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Taking Hydroxychloroquine; A Retrospective Analysis

The SARS-CoV-2 global pandemic has resulted in a universal search for potential treatments of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Initial reports of the therapeutic potential of chloroquine (CQ) and hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and early non-randomized non-controlled studies were followed by subsequent trials refuting such properties. The use of CQ and HCQ in diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), prompted us to examine the prevalence of COVID-19 and proposed prophylactic and therapeutic properties of HCQ in this population. A total of 103 patients with RA and SLE aged 18 to 75 diagnosed with COVID-19 were identified. The patients were categorized as those taking HCQ (cases) and those not on HCQ (controls) for at least 6 months. Primary (mechanical ventilation, length of stay, death) and secondary outcomes were defined, data were collected, and results were compared and statistically analyzed between cases and controls. No statistical difference was observed in demographic features, baseline comorbidities, and medications. Primary outcomes’ statistical analysis did not reveal any differences between cases and controls. Statistical analysis of secondary outcomes revealed that cases had a statistically higher chance of being tachypneic (p 0.034). D-Dimer (p 0.017) and LDH levels (p 0.044) were found to be significantly lower in cases versus controls. This study highlights the lack of clinical prophylactic and therapeutic efficacy of HCQ against COVID-19 when taken at regular doses for patients with RA and SLE. It also shows that the prevalence of COVID-19 was similar in RA and SLE patients regardless of baseline consumption of HCQ.
Multitarget Vehicle Tracking and Motion State Estimation Using a Novel Driving Environment Perception System of Intelligent Vehicles

The multitarget vehicle tracking and motion state estimation are crucial for controlling the host vehicle accurately and preventing collisions. However, current multitarget tracking methods are inconvenient to deal with multivehicle issues due to the dynamically complex driving environment. Driving environment perception systems, as an indispensable component of intelligent vehicles, have the potential to solve this problem from the perspective of image processing. Thus, this study proposes a novel driving environment perception system of intelligent vehicles by using deep learning methods to track multitarget vehicles and estimate their motion states. Firstly, a panoramic segmentation neural network that supports end-to-end training is designed and implemented, which is composed of semantic segmentation and instance segmentation. A depth calculation model of the driving environment is established by adding a depth estimation branch to the feature extraction and fusion module of the panoramic segmentation network. These deep neural networks are trained and tested in the Mapillary Vistas Dataset and the Cityscapes Dataset, and the results showed that these methods performed well with high recognition accuracy. Then, Kalman filtering and Hungarian algorithm are used for the multitarget vehicle tracking and motion state estimation. The effectiveness of this method is tested by a simulation experiment, and results showed that the relative relation (i.e., relative speed and distance) between multiple vehicles can be estimated accurately. The findings of this study can contribute to the development of intelligent vehicles to alert drivers to possible danger, assist drivers’ decision-making, and improve traffic safety.
Relationship of serum irisin levels and various demographic and biochemical factors in non-diabetic hemodialysis patients

Introduction: Irisin is a myokine secreted from the skeletal muscle. Preliminary studies showed that the serum irisin level was decreased in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), particularly in hemodialysis patients. Objectives: This study aimed to examine the relationship between serum irisin level and different demographic and biochemical factors in non-diabetic hemodialysis patients. Patients and Methods: This study was conducted on 61 non-diabetic stable hemodialysis patients. Serum level of irisin was measured by ELISA method. Demographic information was recorded for all subjects. In addition, biochemical factors were assessed using standard methods. Results: In this study serum irisin level was 8.15±4.24 ng/mL. There were positive correlations of serum irisin with gender (P=0.014) (higher serum value of irisin in males) and hemodialysis doses (r=0.32, P=0.01). Additionally, a negative correlation of serum irisin with body mass index (BMI) was detected (r= 0.26, P=0.036). Conclusion: The positive correlation of serum irisin with hemodialysis doses and a negative correlation of serum irisin with BMI requires further investigations in other patients with more patients.
Effect of garlic supplementation on zootechnical performance and hepato-renal functions in nitrate-treated rabbits

The effect of garlic supplementation on zootechnical performance and hepato-renal functions of rabbits exposed to experimental nitrate poisoning was evaluated. Adult male 6-8 week-old albino rabbits (n= 24) were randomly divided into four groups (A - D) and subjected to nitrate intoxication through the oral administration of sodium nitrate solution at 2 ml/kg bodyweight per day for 40 days. Group A was a control that received no treatment except sodium nitrate. Rabbits in groups B and C were treated with 1% methylene blue solution (2 mg/kg bodyweight per day) and aqueous garlic extract (500 mg/kg bodyweight per day) through intraperitoneal and oral routes, respectively. Rabbits in group D were treated with both 1% methylene blue solution (2 mg/kg bodyweight per day, intraperitoneally) and aqueous garlic extract (500 mg/kg bodyweight per day, orally). On completion of the treatment period, the groups were compared in growth performance, biochemical profile and histopathological changes of hepato-renal tissues. Although the total feed consumption of the groups remained comparable, Group C showed relatively better weight gain and feed conversion ratio (FCR). Likewise, garlic extract significantly increased the serum bilirubin concentration and reduced the level of other biochemical attributes in comparison with control animals. The hepatic and renal tissues of Groups C and D remained normal, whereas those of the control group exhibited distinct histopathological alterations. It was concluded that garlic supplementation ameliorated the deleterious effects of nitrate intoxication on production performance and hepato-renal functions of rabbits.
Antimicrobial susceptibility profile of enterobacteria isolated from wild grey-breasted parakeets (Pyrrhura griseipectus)

ABSTRACT: The grey-breasted parakeet (Pyrrhura griseipectus) is an endangered psittacine species that have been affected by illegal trade and deforestation. Currently, this endemic species is only found in three areas in Ceará state, in Brazil. This study aimed to investigate the frequency and diversity of Enterobacteriaceae in wild adult grey-breasted parakeets and determine their susceptibility to antimicrobial agents. Cloacal swab samples were collected from 27 individuals and environmental swabs (drag swabs) from five nests used by these birds. Twenty-seven strains from nine species of Enterobacteriaceae were recovered from cloacal swabs, and the most prevalent bacteria strains were Hafnia alvei (22%) and Pantoea agglomerans (22%). From environmental nest samples, seven strains from three bacterial species were isolated, being the P. agglomerans the most frequent species (100%). Twenty-two of the 27 isolates (81.4%) exhibited antibiotic resistance, varying from one to eight of the 12 antimicrobials commonly used. Resistance to amoxicillin was the most prevalent (70.4%), followed by azithromycin (22.2%) and ceftriaxone (18.5%). None of the strains were resistant to gentamicin, tobramycin, ciprofloxacin or tetracycline. The H. alvei was the main species presenting multidrug resistance, including resistance against meropenem, which is an important finding. These results could provide interesting information on the health of these endangered wild grey-breasted parakeets. They could also indicate that the obtained isolates are part of a group of bacteria that are typical components of the enteric microbiota of birds, which present elevated rates of resistance to amoxicillin.

1Faculty of Psychology, Universitas Padjadjaran, Bandung, Indonesia; 2Center for Psychological Innovation and Research, Universitas Padjadjaran, Bandung, Indonesia Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare professionals (HCP) might experience mental health problems and work-related stress, which can lead to less satisfaction at work and decreased health and quality of life in the long period. This study aims to explore the role of mental health and workplace satisfaction on the quality of life in health professionals who are involved in handling the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: This study was a cross-sectional approach using purposive sampling techniques. The online survey was conducted from May through September 2020. A total of 200 respondents from the West Java province in Indonesia were included. Data on mental health, work satisfaction, and quality of life were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and multivariate regression analysis. Responses to open questions regarding concerns and strengths were analyzed using thematic analysis. Results: An increased mental health symptom experienced by healthcare professionals was associated with decreased health status (β=−0.724, p=0.001) and self-perceived health (β= −0.59, p=0.001). Further, serving patients with COVID-19 (β=−0.133, p=0.024) was related to lower health status. Five themes emerged regarding concerns about being exposed to COVID-19, namely 1) fear of transmitting the virus, 2) the impact of COVID-19 on family life, 3) death and isolation, 4) personal safety, and 5) social stigma. Five themes emerged regarding the source of encouragement and strength, ie. 1) religiosity, 2) social support systems, 3) the moral responsibility of the profession, 4) following health and safety protocols, and 5) acceptance and positive attitudes towards the future. Conclusion: Mental health problems impacted the quality of life. Serving patients with COVID-19 could predict lower health status. HCPs’ concerns and sources of strength when exposed to COVID-19 are discussed. Our results give a better understanding of the factors that can decrease and improve HCPs’ quality of life, therefore can be used to design psychological interventions to lower HCP’s psychological problems and improving their quality of life.
MOTIVATION AND MATHEMATICS ACHIEVEMENT: A VIETNAMESE CASE STUDY

Motivation plays a critical role in engaging students to study mathematics and in improving their mathematics performance. The relationship between motivation and mathematics achievement has been discussed in the literature; however, research gaps exist in terms of empirical testing of the key aspects in the context of mathematics education in Vietnam. Therefore, the aim of this study is to address the research gaps by empirically examining the relationship between mathematics motivation and mathematics achievement among high school graduate students in Vietnam. This study adopted the academic motivation toward mathematics scale (AMTMS) for its questionnaire survey and data collection. Six hundred and eighty responses were received from high school graduate students. The data were subjected to structural equation modelling analysis. The current study generated several key findings. Amotivation has been proven to negatively affect mathematics achievement. However, introjected regulation, identified regulation and intrinsic motivation positively affect mathematics achievement. The findings emerging from the current study provide a strong theoretical foundation for improving mathematics achievement by encouraging teachers to improve motivational conditions in mathematics classes in Vietnam. The study discusses some strategies, such as how to foster mastery orientation and the application of effective technology, to improve mathematics achievement.
Effects of Moringa Leaf Extract and Moderate Intensity Exercise on Histopathological Appearance and Autophagy Gene Expression

The prevention of liver disease could be conducted through preventive strategies, such as antioxidants and exercise. Moringa leaf extract has substances that could act as antioxidant, while exercise is also known protecting the liver from disease by changing hepatic metabolism and autophagy. This study aimed to investigate the effect of moringa leaf extract and moderate intensity exercise on histopathological appearance and autophagy gene expression of wistar rat liver. The method used in this study was animal experiment using 24 male wistar rats divided into 4 groups, including control group, moringa group, exercise group, and moringa + exercise group. Moringa leaf extract was given in low dose (5.7 mg/kgW) per oral, 5 times a week, for 4 weeks. Meanwhile, the 20 m/minute treadmill exercise was given for 30 minutes per day, 5 times a week, for 4 weeks. Results showed a significant change on histopathological scoring in exercise group (p=0.011) compared to control group. Increased autophagy gene expression was found in moringa + exercise group compared to control group (LC3 0.90 fold; p62 0.87 fold). In summary, this study presented that moderate intensity exercise induced changes on histopathological appearance of wistar rat liver that might be associated with physiological inflammation. Moringa, with its antioxidant properties, combined with increased autophagy might improve histopathological changes in moringa + exercise group.

Despite this, there exists a dearth of literature comprehensively assessing the knowledge and awareness of these health-care workers on the disease in the Kingdom of Bahrain. This study was designed to evaluate the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of emergency physicians in the Kingdom of Bahrain towards COVID-19. Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study included 142 emergency physicians from three major hospitals in Bahrain. A self-designed questionnaire divided into 4 parts, which consists of demographics, knowledge, attitude and practices towards COVID-19, was completed by the emergency physicians working in these hospitals. Analysis of variance (ANOVA), t-test, chi-square test, and multiple linear regression were employed to evaluate KAP scores. Results: The mean COVID-19 knowledge and practice score was 26.29 for a maximum score of 32 suggesting an overall 82.15% correct rate on the knowledge and practice test. Multiple linear regression analysis highlighted age (p=0.038), genders (p=0.033), marital status (p=0.021), organization (p=0.032), having children (p=0.008), and continuing professional development (CPD) activity (p=0.0001) as significant predictors for knowledge and practice scores. The attitude towards the final success in controlling COVID-19 significantly differed across marital status (p=0.021), organization of participants (p=0.020) and position of participants (p=0.012), respectively. Conclusion: Adequate knowledge, positive attitude and sufficient safe practice towards COVID-19 were observed in majority of the participants. These findings can foster development of nuanced and salient health management strategies that augment KAP so that proper control and elimination of the disease can be achieved, while prioritizing patient health and satisfaction.
