Aplicación transoperatoria de mitomicina-C en la dacriocistorrinostomía externa: acuerdos y desacuerdos

Introduccion: la dacriocistorrinostomia externa es la tecnica mas empleada por la mayoria de los cirujanos oculoplasticos para tratar a los pacientes con obstruccion del canal nasolagrimal. La cirugia puede fracasar, a pesar de los grandes avances en las tecnologias opticas, las tecnicas quirurgicas y el uso de modernos materiales de intubacion. La principal causa del fracaso es el cierre de la osteotomia por tejido cicatrizal o de granulacion, con la formacion de sinequias en la cavidad nasal. La mitomicina C es el antibiotico alquilante mas estudiado en la prevencion del exceso de cicatrizacion en el area de la osteotomia; sin embargo, existen acuerdos y desacuerdos entre estudiosos del tema sobre la eficacia, dosis y tiempo de exposicion de este medicamento. El papel de cada una de estas variables en el resultado final de la cirugia es controversial. Objetivo: brindar evidencias sobre el papel de la aplicacion transoperatoria de la mitomicina C en la dacriocistorrinostomia externa. Metodos: se realizo una revision de la bibliografia actualizada disponible en idioma espanol e ingles. Se consultaron los textos completos y resumenes en las bases de datos: PubMed, Ebsco, Google Academico y Scielo. Tambien se revisaron novedosos articulos en prestigiosas revistas especializadas. Conclusiones: la mayoria de los autores coinciden en que este medicamento contribuye a elevar la tasa de exito de la dacriocistorrinostomia externa; aunque su aplicacion es segura, todavia se estudian algunas variables que mejorarian su eficacia.
Reward revaluation biases hippocampal sequence content away from the preferred outcome

Internally generated sequences of place cell activity can depict spatial trajectories to reward locations, suggesting a role in model-based behavioral control. A largely separate literature emphasizes reward revaluation as the litmus test for such control, yet the content of hippocampal sequences under revaluation conditions is unknown. We report that the content of sharp wave-ripple hippocampal sequences is biased away from the preferred outcome following reward revaluation, challenging the idea that such sequences reflect recent experience or trajectories toward a goal.

Asymptomatic Isolated Cervical Tubercular Lymphadenopathy, How to Proceed?: A Case Series

Tuberculosis is a highly prevalent disease in developing countries, the majority of cases are pulmonary and rest are extra-pulmonary. Cervical LN tuberculosis is one of the most common types of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis. Isolated cervical tubercular Lymphadenitis without accompanying pulmonary tuberculosis or another form of tuberculosis in the body is rare and, when present, requires thorough clinical examination and investigation. In the investigation of such patients, FNAC plays a major role, and aspirate should be tested for AFB through ZN stain and CBNAAT (PCR). Cervical tubercular Lymphadenitis is mainly a disease of young with a female predominance. All patients of cervical tubercular Lymphadenitis must receive antitubercular therapy with strict follow up for compliance and possible side effects from treatment.
Plant- and Seaweed-Based Extracts Increase Yield but Differentially Modulate Nutritional Quality of Greenhouse Spinach through Biostimulant Action

Plant biostimulants (PBs) such as protein hydrolysates and seaweed extracts are attracting the increasing interest of scientists and vegetable growers for their potential toenhance yield and nutritional quality. The current study assessed crop productivity, leaf colorimetry, mineral profile and bioactive compounds of greenhouse spinach in response to the foliar application of three PBs: legume-derived protein hydrolysate [PH], extract of seaweed Ecklonia maxima or mixture of vegetal oils, herbal and seaweed Ascophyllum nodosum extracts. Plants were PB-treated at a rate of 3 mL L−1 four times during their growth cycle at weekly intervals. Foliar PB applications enhanced fresh yield, dry biomass and leaf area of spinach in comparison with untreated plants. Improved yield performance with PB applications was associated with improved chlorophyll biosynthesis (higher SPAD index). The three PB treatments elicited an increase in bioactive compounds (total phenols and ascorbic acid), thus raised the functional quality of spinach. The application of PH enhanced K and Mg concentrations and did not result in increased nitrate accumulation as observed with the other two PB treatments. Our findings can assist vegetable farmers and the agro-food industry in adopting innovative and sustainable tools such as PB for complementing a high yield with premium quality.

Education and social work students’ perceptions of Internet use by people with and without intellectual disability

Educators and social workers are essential to promote the social and digital inclusion of people with intellectual disability. Their perceptions about Internet use by people with intellectual disability may lead to prejudices that can hinder the opportunity of this group to get equal and meaningful access to the virtual arena. To identify potential prejudices among future professionals and to determine their initial training needs, a cross-sectional survey study was conducted. The aim was to examine and compare 433 education and social work students’ perceptions about Internet use by people with and without intellectual disability, in terms of online benefits, risks and safety. Results showed that students perceived the Internet to be more beneficial, but also riskier and less safe, for people with intellectual disability than for the general population. Differences were observed with regard to gender, university degree and frequency of contact with people with intellectual disability and a positive relationship was found between students’ Internet use and their perceived online benefits, risks and safety. These findings highlight the need for initial training programs that overcome future professionals’ prejudices towards people with intellectual disability and their capability to use the Internet safely.
Growth Performance and Nutrient Availability of Tomatoes ( Lycopersicum Esculentum ) Seedlings in Anaerobic Slurry Amended Soils

To study the growth performance and nutrient availability of tomatoes (lycopersicum esculentum) seedlings in anaerobic slurry amended soils, a greenhouse trial was conducted at the faculty of agriculture, University of Benin. Four rates of the anaerobic slurry were used, namely 0, 200, 400, 600 cm3/3kg soil in a completely randomized design in triplicate. Results from the pre- plant soils revealed that the application of the amendmentenhanced the soil quality. Soil organic carbon, N, P, K, Ca, Na and % base saturation were significantly (P < 0.05), were higher than the control, while the soil pH remained in the acidic region and the soil exchangeable acidity reduced. Apart from, stem girth which showed no significant difference, plant height, number of leaves, leaf length, and total biomass yield by the plant were significantly (p < 0.05) better than the control, but in no particular order. Plant growth parameter suggest that the 600 cm3 treatment performed better for plant height, leaves length and number of leaves while total biomass yield was better with the 400 cm3/ treatment.

Integral use of oil-based raw materials with “green solvents”: review and opportunities

As oleaginosas estao entre as plantas de maior producao mundial e sao utilizadas para obtencao de oleos e gorduras para consumo humano. Nesse processo, geram-se coprodutos, ricos em compostos fenolicos com comprovados beneficios a saude, mas geralmente destinados para a alimentacao animal. A extracao destes polifenois e comumente realizada por solventes orgânicos, toxicos, inflamaveis e nao biodegradaveis. Por este motivo, ha um apelo maior para o uso de solventes e tratamentos que visem a uma quimica “verde”, evitando poluicao ambiental e diminuindo os riscos de acidentes na manipulacao de solventes toxicos. Com estas caracteristicas, vem sendo introduzidos os solventes euteticos profundos (DES), formados principalmente de metabolitos primarios, como acidos orgânicos, acucares, alcoois e aminoacidos associados a sais quaternarios de amonio naturais. Os DES ja foram utilizados para extrair compostos bioativos de plantas e bebidas, sendo mais frequentemente empregados para a extracao de compostos fenolicos e obtendo, muitas vezes, resultados melhores que os solventes comuns. Os extratos com DES tambem estao associados a uma maior estabilidade, devido as ligacoes de hidrogenio entre seus componentes, responsaveis ainda pela maior solubilidade e extracao de compostos fenolicos. O objetivo desta revisao foi reunir estudos que utilizaram DES e suas variantes na extracao de compostos fenolicos de materias-primas oleaginosas, alem de fazer um levantamento dos estudos sobre a estabilidade de polifenois nesses solventes sob condicoes de armazenamento diversas. Os resultados disponiveis na literatura indicaram o uso dos DES como promissor, tanto na eficiencia de extracao, quanto na estabilidade dos compostos extraidos.
Generate Contextual Insight of Product Review Using Deep LSTM and Word Embedding

Nowadays, in every day live, majority people face in many internet options. For example, what meal to eat, what news to read, what vehicle to ride, what the best path to travelling, what the best group in social network to joint, what the best video to watch, what the best video in YouTube to watch and etc. The best way to recommend the internet content to customer is by using recommender system. Recommender system calculate product recommendation by detecting user behaviour in the past. The user behaviour in the past was being variable to compute similarity between many customers. One of the majority user behaviour is in the term of document. Most of document interpret model in recommender system use traditional NLP model such as TF-IDF, LDA model. According to NLP point of view, traditional NLP face the weakness in contextual understanding. Aims to handle the problem on above, we proposed novel model to generate contextual understanding by involve two important aspect considered subtle word and word sequence. We implemented word embedding based on GLOVE and detecting word sequential using RNN-LSTM. According to qualitative evaluation report, our model successful to capture contextual insight of the document of movie review by IMDB. This model suitable to integrated with latent factor based on matrix factorization to generate product recommendation in Collaborative filtering model.
Species-level microbial sequence classification is improved by source-environment information

Taxonomic classification of marker-gene DNA sequences is a key step in the analysis of microbial ecology data. Accurate species-level characterisation of microbial communities by sequencing standard marker-gene sequence fragments has proved elusive. We show that knowing a sample’s Earth Microbiome Project Ontology (EMPO) habitat type always increases taxonomic classification accuracy, usually to the point where classification accuracy at species level exceeds the genus-level classification accuracy achieved with EMPO-ignorant methods. This improvement comes from setting EMPO habitat type-specific taxonomic class weights for a naive Bayes taxonomic classifier to the average microbial composition for that habitat. We provide q2-clawback, a QIIME 2 plugin for compiling taxonomic class weights from a given collection of samples or by directly downloading data from the Qiita microbial study management platform. The weights output by q2-clawback are compatible with the q2-feature-classifier taxonomic classifier. We show that taxonomic weights averaged across the EMPO 3 habitat types (representing the observed global frequencies of microbial taxa in the Earth Microbiome Project database) typically increase sequence classification accuracy, providing an avenue for improving classification of samples of unknown or uncharacterized sample types for which custom class weights cannot be assembled. q2-clawback also provides a utility for estimating how effectively a new set of taxonomic class weights will improve taxonomic classification accuracy. Apart from the important accuracy improvements in taxonomic classification, our results represent a meta-analysis of marker-gene amplicon sequence data across 7,204 studies to reveal useful patterns of taxonomic abundance. Author Summary A key step in many microbial ecology experiments is to determine the taxonomic composition of a sample. This is commonly achieved by classifying short DNA sequences according to their species of origin. In this study we assemble DNA sequence data from 7,204 studies to show that information about a sample’s source leads to more accurate classification of each constituent DNA sequence. The improvement in accuracy is sufficient to accurately identify species from DNA sequences as short as 150 nt, whereas previously only a courser level of classification could be achieved reliably using short amplicon sequences. We make these improvements accessible to all researchers by encapsulating them in q2-clawback, a software plugin to the popular QIIME 2 microbiome bioinformatics framework. The implications of this work are immediately more accurate inference wherever microbiome analysis is used, from clinical settings, to ecological research, to forensic science.
SPACE MAPPING OF HIP AND WRISTS MOTIONS FOR DIFFERENT TRANSFER DISTANCES IN MANUAL MATERIAL HANDLING TASK

Manual material transfer tasks are common in occupational settings. Repetitive lifting tasks usually involve twisting and bending which are associated with occupational lower back injuries. One of the approaches to reduce bending and twisting is to separate the distance between lifting origin and destination, which will encourage lifters to step and turn entire bodies. However, adding lifting distances is likely to affect space usages and requirements. A study was conducted to investigate how the transfer distances influence space usage during the lifting task. Raw data of hip and hand wrists motion of 26 male subjects during transfer in 4 different distances were captured using X-Sens motion capture system. MVN Studio software was used to process and extract positional data. Tabulated space mapping revealed limited hip movement and semicircular shaped hand motions for short transfer distances. The pattern changes into a more stretched-curve shape as the distance increases. Overall, it was observed that shorter transfer distance caused participants to adopt more twisting and less bending postures, while further transfer distances resulted in more bending and less twisting. This study may provide industrial practitioners with information to design a space requirement for manual material transfer tasks. ABSTRAK: Kerja-kerja pemindahan barang secara manual adalah biasa dalam persekitaran kerja. Kerja-kerja mengangkat barang yang kebiasaannya melibatkan badan membengkok dan berpusing boleh menyebabkan kecederaan tulang belakang. Salah satu cara bagi mengurangkan risiko ini adalah dengan memisahkan jarak antara tempat asal dan tempat tuju pemindahan barang. Pemindah barang digalakkan untuk melangkah dan memusingkan seluruh badan. Namun, cara ini menyebabkan penggunaan ruang yang banyak. Satu kajian telah dijalankan bagi mengkaji bagaimana jarak pemindahan barang mempengaruhi penggunaan ruang ketika kerja-kerja pemindahan. Data asal pergerakan pinggul dan pergelangan tangan daripada 26 subjek lelaki ketika pemindahan barang pada 4 jarak berbeza diperolehi menggunakan sistem rakaman gerakan X-Sens. Perisian MVN Studio digunakan bagi memproses dan mengekstrak data ini. Ruang pemetaan berjadual mendedahkan pergerakan pinggul yang terhad dan pergerakan tangan berbentuk separa bulat pada jarak pemindahan terdekat. Corak ini berubah kepada bentuk lengkung memanjang apabila jarak bertambah. Keseluruhannya, jarak pindahan yang kurang menyebabkan para peserta lebih terdedah kepada postur memusingkan badan berbanding membengkok, sementara jarak yang jauh menyebabkan peserta lebih membengkok berbanding memusingkan badan.

DIVERSITY OF MICROBES IN SOIL AGGREGATE FRACTIONS UNDER DIFFERENT LAND-USE IN NORTHERN GUINEA SAVANNA, NIGERIA

Microorganisms play vital role in keeping soil healthy. Bacteria, Fungi and Actinobacteria are active in degrading soil organic matter which improves soil ecosystem functioning. There exists a dearth of information on the influence of land-use on diversity of microbes in different soil aggregate sizes in Northern Guinea Savanna of Nigeria. This study assessed the diversity of soil microbes under six different land-use practices namely forest, fallow, pasture legume, pasture cereal, date palm plantation and continuous cultivated. In each land-use soil samples were collected at two depths (0-5 cm and 5-20 cm). The soil samples were divided into two parts, one part was left as collected from the field sites (bulk soil) and the other part was separated into three aggregate fractions (>250 µm, >53 µm and <53 µm). Bacteria, Fungi and Actinobacteria were cultured, isolated and identified, and some soil chemical properties were determined. Colony forming units per gram of soil (CFU/g soil) was computed for the soil microbes. Results revealed that Bacteria is the predominant soil microbe followed by Actinobacteria and then Fungi in all the land-uses. Bacteria population ranged from 1.49x107to 8.65x107CFU/g soil, Actinobacteria population ranged from 9.32x105 to 5.85x106 CFU/g soil and Fungi population ranged between 6.75x104 and 4.21x105 CFU/g soil. Higher microbial population were observed in forest soil than soils of the other land-uses. Continuously cultivated land had the least microbial population. Silt + clay soil fraction had significantly higher bacteria while the bulk soil was significantly richer in fungal population.
Dynamic Changes on Progesterone Concentration in Cow’s Milk Determined by Inline Milk Analysis System Herd Navigator

The aim of the instant study was to evaluate relative inline progesterone dynamic changes according to parity and status of reproduction and to estimate the relationship with productivity in dairy cows by inline milk analysis system (IMAS) Herd Navigator. According to a progesterone assay, cows were divided into three periods: postpartum, after insemination, and pregnancy. In the first stage of the postpartum period (0-29 days), the progesterone level in milk was monitored every 6 days. The second stage of the postpartum period (30-65 days) lasted until cows were inseminated. In the third period (0-45 days) after cows were inseminated, progesterone scores were distributed according to whether or not cows became pregnant. The stability of progesterone dynamics was monitored in the last study period (45-90 days). For milk progesterone detection, the fully automated real-time progesterone analyzer Herd Navigator (Lattec I/S. Hillerød. Denmark) was used in combination with a DeLaval milking robot (DeLaval Inc., Tumba, Sweden). The highest progesterone concentration in multiparous cows ranged from 1.08% (11-17 days postpartum) to 34.89% higher than that in cows of the first parity. The lowest progesterone concentrations in the milk of all cows were estimated during the first 5 postpartum days and between 18 and 23 days after calving. Peak milk progesterone concentrations were evaluated in the first stage of the experiment on days 24-29 after calving. In the 30-65-day period after calving, the level of milk progesterone was 2.02-2.08 times higher than that in the 24-29-day postpartum period. After insemination, the level of progesterone in milk increased by 10.77-22.54% compared with the level from cows on days 30-65 after calving. A higher (12.88%) concentration of progesterone in milk was evaluated in multiparous cows compared with that from cows of the first parity. In pregnant cows, milk progesterone within 0-45 days after insemination was 23.88% (in multiparous cows) and 32.54% (in primiparous cows) higher than that in non-pregnant cows. On days 31–35 after insemination, pregnant cows had higher milk progesterone levels, which can predict pregnancy success. According to our study results, we can suggest that an inline progesterone concentration determined by inline milk analysis system Herd Navigator and changes in its dynamics correlate with different reproductive statuses and milk yield of cows. Pregnant cows 11–15 days after insemination have higher milk progesterone levels, what positively, associated with a successful pregnancy.
Impacts of Regional Groundwater Flow and River Fluctuation on Floodplain Wetlands in the Middle Reach of the Yellow River

Floodplain wetlands are of great importance in the entire river and floodplain ecosystems. Understanding the hydrological processes of floodplain wetlands is fundamental to study the changes in wetlands caused by climate change and human activities. In this study, floodplain wetlands along the middle reach of the Yellow River were selected as a study area. The hydrological processes and the interactions between the river and the underlying aquifer were investigated by combining remote sensing, hydraulic monitoring, and numerical modeling. Wetland areas from 2014 to 2019 were extracted from Landsat 8 remote sensing images, and their correlation with the river runoff was analyzed. The results indicate that the river flow had a limited impact on the wetland size and so did groundwater levels, due to the strong reliance of wetland vegetation on water levels. Based on hydrological and hydrogeological conditions, a surface water–groundwater coupled numerical model was established. The comparison and correlation analysis between the monitored groundwater head and the simulated river stage also show that river flow did not play a first-order role in controlling the groundwater levels of wetlands in the study area. The simulation results also suggest that it is the regional groundwater flow that mainly sustains shallow groundwater of floodplain wetlands in the study area. The floodplain wetland of the study area was dynamic zones between the regional groundwater and river, the contrasting pattern of hydrological regimes on both banks of the Yellow River was due to a combination of regional groundwater flow and topography.
