Applicaiotn of the Solid Dispersion Method to the Controlled Release of Medicine. VI. Release Mechanism of a Slightly Water Soluble Medicine and Interaction between Flurbiprofen and Hydroxypropyl Cellulose in Solid Dispersion

Solid dispersion (SD) was prepared with a slightly water soluble medicine (flurbiprofen (FP)) and a water soluble polymer (hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC)) having five grades of different molecular weights. The release mechanism of FP from the SD granules and the interaction between FP and HPC in the SD were studied.The release rate of FP from the SD granules increased with decreasing HPC molecular weight or increase in the composition ratio of HPC. The powder X-ray diffraction patterns and DSC curves suggest that FP exists in an amorphous state in the SD. The IR spectra show an interaction of hydrogen bonding between FP and HPC. The percent of FP forming a hydrogen bond with HPC in the SD increased with decreasing HPC molecular weight or increase in the composition ratio of HPC. A linear relationship was found between the release rate of FP and the percent of the hydrogen bonded FP in the SD. An increase in the dispersibility of FP and the degree of mixing of FP and HPC will cause an increase in the effective surface area of FP and HPC for dissolution, thus increasing the release of FP and the percent of hydrogen bonded FP.
Validity Evidence of the Team Psychological Safety Survey

The objective of this study was to adapt and investigate validity evidence for the Team Psychological Safety Survey for Brazil and to test its feasibility to emerge at the team level. A sample of 8,310 female workers answered the scale. Initial analyses indicated the single-factor solution fitness, with Cronbach’s alpha = 0.84. Confirmatory factor analysis model obtained good fitness coefficients, CFI = 0.995, RMSEA = 0.07. Emersion was viable due to group variance identified by and ICC calculations. The hypothesis stated that psychological safety correlates with perceived organizational practices and that differences exist between men and women’s practices. Findings support that the good practices positively related to psychological safety, with differences between gender, while a negative relationship with bad practices was partially confirmed. A quadratic trend was identified between organizational status and psychological safety. Results provide validity evidence for the survey for samples of Brazilian women.
DO JASMONIC ACID AND ACTIVATED CHARCOAL INCREASE THE in vitro DEVELOPMENT OF ORANGE CARROT (Daucus carota L.) AND PURPLE CARROT (Daucus carota L. ssp. sativus var. atrorubens Alef.)?

Present study aimed to reveal the effects of jasmonic acid and activated charcoal on in vitro carrot plantlet regeneration by using Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with BAP, NAA, activated charcoal and jasmonic acid at various concentrations. To serve the purpose, in vitro carrot seed germination, shoots, cotyledons, and first leaves formation of orange and purple carrot plantlets were investigated. During the experiments, root size, weight, and size of petiole diameter, hyperhydricity and callus formation rate were recorded. Experimental results revealed that combination of jasmonic acid and activated charcoal in medium had a positive effect especially on the first stage of developmental processes such as seed swelling and germination, cotyledon and first leaf formation as well as having positive effects on above-ground internode elongation, petiole and plantlet height.
The Effects of Content Ephemerality on Information Processing

Many marketing communications, from verbal conversations to messaging and content sharing via apps such as Snapchat, limit the number of times people can view content. How do such restrictions affect consumers’ information processing? Building on the proposition that people strategically allocate cognitive resources, the authors hypothesize that consumers of content that cannot be viewed repeatedly consider the risk of failing to process it sufficiently and, consequently, allocate more cognitive resources to its processing (e.g., by increasing viewing time). The authors test this hypothesis in ten preregistered online studies (total N = 17,620), an exploratory analysis of eye-tracking data, and a field study on Facebook's advertising platform. Across the studies, they find that making content ephemeral elevates consumers’ perceived risk of missing information; consequently, it increases attention allocation, prolongs voluntary viewing time, and magnifies focus on relevant information. These effects have important downstream consequences, including improved content comprehension and recall, enhanced positive attitudes, and increased efficiency of sponsored content placement on social media. Taken together, the findings indicate that marketers can communicate information more effectively by restricting consumers from viewing it again.
Approaches of 112 ambulance service staffers to children with burns: A survey assessment

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: We aimed to evaluate the knowledge of 112 ambulance service staffers (doctors, nurses, emergency medical technicians [EMTs], and paramedics [PMs]) who were the first intervention to pediatric patients with burn injuries regarding first intervention and patient transfer. METHODS: The study included 373 personnel working in 112 ambulance services in Ankara province. Participants were asked 17 questions to measure their knowledge of burns in children. Statistical analysis was performed with the Statistical Package for Social Sciences 21.0. RESULTS: Of the participants, 26 (7%) were doctors, 25 (6.7%) nurses, 180 (48.3%) EMTs, and 142 (35.3%) PMs. Of the participants, 118 stated that they always calculate the burn surface area, while only five (1.3%) marked the correct choice of the Lund Browder scheme to the question by which method they calculated. One hundred twenty one personnel (32.4%) use the Parkland formula to calculate the amount of fluid to be given during transfer while only 7 (1.9%) use the Galveston formula, which is more suitable for children. Of the participants, 56 (15%) answered as lactated Ringer’s solution which is the correct fluid to the question of which fluid do you give at the scene and during the transfer. One hundred fifty-three participants (41%) responded correctly to the scenario question expected to recognize inhalation damage while only 138 (37%) responded correctly as “I do immediately intubate” to the inhalation injury described scenario question. One out of 373 (0.3%) participants marked the appropriate procedure for a patient who had a 50% scald burn during the first intervention and transfer. The rate of topical lidocaine use of participants was high (70.8%). Of the 373 participants, only 33 (8.8%) thought themselves competent for first aid and transfer of children with burns. If training on the subject was held, 333 personnel (89.3%) wanted to participate. CONCLUSION: It is expected that the knowledge of 112 ambulance services who see pediatric burn patients first, perform the first intervention, and provide transfer would be suitable. However, our questionnaire shows that these personnel have insufficient knowledge and need to be trained.
Attitudes of Virginia Dental Hygienists Toward Dental Therapists.

Purpose: The state of Virginia faces a reported dental health professional shortage affecting approximately half of its residents.The purpose of this study was to assess the opinions and attitudes of dental hygienists in Virginia toward a mid-level dental provider model, dental therapists (DTs), and to determine whether current education level and years of practice affected opinions regarding the education requirements for DTs.Methods: A 22-item questionnaire was distributed online to a convenience sample of Virginia dental hygienists (n=910). Items assessed attitudes of participants toward the DT using a seven-point Likert-type scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree). Participants were asked to provide demographic information and to respond to open-ended questions regarding potential advantages and/or disadvantages to DTs. Independent samples t-tests and chi-square analyses were used to analyze the data.Results: A response rate of 22% was obtained (n=200). Most respondents agreed a DT was needed in Virginia (M=5.78, p<0.001) and supported the concept that dental therapy could be a solution to the problem of access to care issues in Virginia (M=5.97, p<0.001). While most respondents agreed it was important for Virginia to adopt legislation for a dental therapy model (M=5.89, p<0.001), most disagreed that DTs' practice should be restricted to acknowledged underserved areas in the state (M=3.19, p<0.001). No significant association was found between years of practice and opinions toward education requirements for DTs; however, a significant association was found between current education level and opinions toward education requirements for DTs (Fisher's Exact Test=34.17, df=9, p=.000, Cramer's V=.28). Conclusion: Results revealed Virginia dental hygienists had overwhelmingly positive attitudes toward DTs. Research with a larger sample could provide more insight into opinions of the Virginia dental hygienist population regarding this mid-level oral health care provider.

Thus, positive and negative (lights and shadows) aspects related to the types of samples used for the target studies, the pros and cons of the devices used for sampling and present storage conditions, and actions for their improvement are expressed. Sample preparation and its multiple facets that required to be clarified are discussed, as well as those related to analysis. A key aspect as data treatment has been discussed in the light of the cohorts handled to obtain the information to be subjected to appropriate/inappropriate treatment, and support on suitable examples has been provided. The search for OSA biomarkers, one of the areas to which key investigations are devoted at present, is critically discussed by showing the weak points and proposing new ways for improvement. A final section is devoted to aspects that may help to improve metabolomics–OSA research, a field asking for more attention.
Effect of grape products on blood pressure: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

ABSTRACT Previous studies have suggested that grape and its products may possess blood pressure (BP)-lowering properties. Due to inconsistencies in results, we aimed to systematically examine the effect of grape products on BP by conducting a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs). PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science (ISI), and Cochrane Library databases were comprehensively searched until March 2020. Human clinical trials which reported the effect of grape products supplementation on systolic BP (SBP) and diastolic BP (DBP) were included. Data were pooled using a random-effects model and expressed as a weighted mean difference (WMD) with a 95% confidence interval (CI). Twenty-eight studies comprising a total of 1344 subjects were included in our meta-analysis. The overall outcome of the meta-analysis indicates that grape products consumption can significantly reduce SBP (WMD: −3.40 mmHg, 95% CI: −6.55, −0.24, p = .03, I2 = 93.4%) and DBP (WMD: −1.69 mmHg, 95% CI: −3.12, −0.27, p = .01, I2 = 80.4%). This meta-analysis found a moderate and statistically significant reduction for either SBP or DBP with grape products compared with controls. Additional high-quality studies are needed to further evaluate the causal conclusions.
Impact of Local Back-Surface-Field Thickness Variation on Performance of PERC Solar Cells

This article investigates the impact of the back-surface-field (BSF) thickness variation within a local aluminum contact on the performance of passivated emitter and rear contact solar cells. A significant difference of BSF thickness between contact endings and the center of dash-shaped contacts is verified experimentally by a comprehensive statistical analysis using scanning electron microscopy. The impact of local BSF thickness differences on the cell performance is studied with 3-D technology computer-aided design (TCAD) device simulations. Several device parameters such as BSF thicknesses, the doping concentration in the BSF profile at rear contacts, or the metallized area fraction at the cell rear side are varied. Our simulation study shows that the open-circuit voltage is mainly affected by locally reduced BSF thicknesses, resulting in an efficiency loss up to 0.14%abs or 0.84%abs, respectively, if an area fraction of 1% or 20% within a local contact has reduced BSF thicknesses. This effect can be minimized either by reducing the metallized area fraction at the cell rear side or by increasing the doping concentration in the BSF profile at aluminum rear contacts. In addition, we demonstrate that the 3-D simulations can be approximated with 2-D simulations by applying a single doping profile with an average BSF thickness, calculated with the harmonic mean.
Polyparasitism in School-Aged Children Living in the Schistosomiasis Endemic Focus of Muyuka-Cameroon after >8 Years of Sustained Control Measures: A Cross Sectional Study

Background: Despite the ubiquity of polyparasitism, its health impacts have been inadequately studied. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and determinants of polyparasitism with Schistosoma haematobium, Plasmodium and soil-transmitted helminths (STH) following sustained control measures, as well as evaluate the outcomes and the clinical correlates of infection in school-aged children (SAC) living in the schistosomiasis endemic focus of Muyuka-Cameroon.Methods: Microhaematuria in urine sample was detected using reagent strip and S. haematobium ova by filtration/microscopy methods. Plasmodium in blood sample was detected using Giemsa stained blood films and complete blood count was obtained using an auto-haematology analyser. STH in stool sample was detected by the Kato-Katz method. Categorical and continuous variables were compared as required, Kappa value estimated and the adjusted odds ratio (AOR) in the multivariate analysis was used to evaluate association of the risk factors with infection.Results: Out of the 638 SAC examined, single infection was prevalent in 33.4% while polyparasitism was 19.9%. Prevalence of S. haematobium + Plasmodium was 7.8%; S. haematobium + STH was 0.8%; Plasmodium + STH was 0.8% while, S. haematobium + Plasmodium + STH was 0.9%. Higher preponderance of S. haematobium + Plasmodium infection occurred in females, those from Likoko, did not use potable water, practiced bathing in stream and carried out open defecation than their equivalents. However, being female (AOR = 2.38, P = 0.009) was the only significant risk factor identified. Anaemia was a common morbidity (74.3%) with a slight agreement with microscopy in predicting S. haematobium and Plasmodium infections. The sensitivity and specificity of haematuria (13.0%) in predicting S. haematobium infection was 46.5% and 100% with a moderate agreement with microscopy. Co-infection with S haematobium and malaria parasite was significantly associated with 3-fold odds of history of fever in the last three days.Conclusions: Polyparasitism is a public health problem in the Ikata-Likoko area in Muyuka with females most at risk. Anaemia prevalence is exacerbated in co- and triple-infections and together with a history of fever are of value in predicting polyparasitism.
The Effect of Orchard Factors on The Chemical Composition of Apples: II. The Relationship Between Potassium and Titratable Acidity, and Between Potassium and Magnesium, in the Fruit

The free acid in apples and the main alkaline constituent (potassium) are known to vary within wide limits and yet the pH of the fruit remains fairly constant and is characteristic for the variety. It has therefore been suggested that anything causing an increase in potassium content (such as application of potash or the type of season) must also result in a corresponding increase in acidity. This paper describes experimental results from manurial and management trials which confirm that this expected relationship exists. Deviations from the theoretical are discussed.The results from the same trials also suggest that increased potassium in the fruit is accompanied by increased magnesium. This result is contrary to that found for leaves where higher potassium means lower magnesium, even to the extent of magnesium deficiency; it is therefore suggested that high potassium fruits may draw magnesium from the leaves
Feasibility of an Internet-Based Intervention to Promote Exercise for People With Spinal Cord Injury: Observational Pilot Study

Background People with spinal cord injury (SCI) are less likely to be physically active and have higher chronic disease risk than those in the general population due to physical and metabolic changes that occur postinjury. Few studies have investigated approaches to promote increased physical activity (PA) for people with SCI despite evidence that they face unique barriers, including lack of accessible transportation and exercise equipment. To address these obstacles, we adapted an evidence-based phone-delivered intervention that promoted increased PA among people with SCI into a web-based platform, titled the Workout on Wheels internet intervention (WOWii). The adapted program provides participants with weekly skill-building information and activities, basic exercise equipment, and ongoing support through weekly group videoconferencing. Objective This pilot study was conducted to assess the feasibility of using a web-based and virtual format to deliver the WOWii program in a randomized controlled trial. Methods We assessed the feasibility of the web-based program by delivering an abbreviated, 4-week version to 10 participants with SCI. Rates of weekly videoconference attendance, activity completion, and exercise activity as tracked by an arm-based activity monitor were recorded for all participants. Results Participants averaged 3.3 of 4 (83%) weekly group videoconferences attended, 3.4 of 4 (85%) web-based module activities completed, and 2.3 of 4 (58%) weeks of using the arm-based activity monitor. The majority of the sample (9/10, 90%) synced their arm-based PA monitor at least once, and overall engagement as an average of each component across the 4 weeks was 75%. Conclusions The intervention had sufficiently high levels of engagement to be used in a full randomized controlled trial to test its effectiveness in improving levels of PA among people with SCI. The knowledge we gained from this pilot study informed improvements that were made in the full randomized controlled trial.
Pd/HZSM-5 catalyst for n-hexane isomerization: Properties, activities, and deactivation

The activity of n-hexane isomerization with 0,8 %kl Pd/HZSM-5 was studied in a micro reactor in the temperature range of 225-325C at 0,1 Mpa with the molar ratio H2/ hydrocarbon of 5.92, n-hexane concentration of 9.2 %mol, GHSV 2698 h-1 at atmospheric pressure. The catalyst owned suitable acidity, reasonable reductivity, good metal dispersion, and appropiate balance between metallic and acidic functions. The catalyst had high activity but low stability. The cause of deactivation was examined via a comparison of physico-chemical properties between a fresh catalyst and a used one. There was no metal sintering. The mono-metallic catalyst performed high activity for n-hexane hydro-isomerization but less stable. Deactivation is mainly attributed to coke formation. Catalyst activity and stability were significantly improved with activity of 0.7 MPa compared to that of 0.1 MPa at elevated pressure. The catalyst Pd-Co/HZSM-5 is capable of resisting against coke, thereby exhibiting high stability at 0.1 MPa. The highly stable and active catalyst helped to form high quality products to result in environment-friendly gasoline.
