Tuberculosis medication adherence in a secondary care center in SouthEastern Nigeria
Authors:   Faculty of Medicine, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Nigeria., Edeh Gabriel Chidera
Published: February 2024

Adherence to a treatment strategy known as Directly Observed Treatment Short course (DOTS) by patients diagnosed of tuberculosis is essential in the effective treatment of the disease. This is in order to avoid recurrence, resistance and complications that results from non-adherence. This paper assessed the adherence to anti-tuberculosis medications among tuberculosis patients in a secondary healthcare facility in Anambra State, Nigeria. This was a descriptive crosssectional study and a semi-structured interviewer-administered questionnaire was used. The study population comprised of tuberculosis patients who has been on anti-TB medications for at least four weeks at the Tuberculosis clinic. A systematic random sampling technique was used to enrol the respondents into the study. The mean age of the respondents was 39.68±16.66 years. Majority of the respondents correctly alluded to tuberculosis as being caused by bacteria (91.7%); and that the duration of treatment was at least six months (100.0%). A great proportion of the respondents affirmed that a vaccine is available for prevention of tuberculosis infection (91.7%); also all the respondents agreed that covering mouth and nose while coughing/sneezing is a preventive measure of TB spread (100.0%). About 15.2% of the respondents sometimes stop taking their medications when they feel their health condition is under control, however, a great proportion of the respondents had good adherence to medications (76.0%). Major reasons for missing medication among the non-adherent were that they forgot (91.8%) and that there were too much medication to take at once (1.2%). Statistically significant associations existed between drug adherence and age, sex and educational qualification; as respondents within the age range of 60-69 years, female and those who had completed tertiary education had better adherence to anti-TB medications. TB medication non-adherence is a potential risk factor for poor health outcomes, hence more effort is needed to increase the rate of adherence.

Published: February 2024

The transition of active Mycolicibacterium smegmatis cells to a dormant state under acidi cation conditions is associated with intracellular accumulation of coproporphyrin tetramethyl ether (TMC). At the same time, dormant forms of mycobacteria develop resistance to a number of damaging factors. The addition of 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA), a precursor of porphyrin synthesis, into the bacterial culture medium leads to the accumulation of TMC in actively growing cells, that simulates the situation with dormant mycobacteria. With an increase in the concentration of TMC by 3 times, the bacteria become 7 times more resistant to the action of 40 mM hydrogen peroxide and 90 times more resistant to heating up to 80 °C. At the same time, in M. smegmatis cells with an increased content of TMC, the activity of dichlorophenolindophenol reductase, which is a marker of respiratory chain activity, decreases by 18%. The detected inhibition of activity can lead to a decrease in side oxidative reactions in the cell. Thus, the accumulation of methylated coproporphyrin is possible to be one of the mechanisms for the development of mycobacterium resistance at dormancy.
POSTTRANSLATIONAL MODIFICATIONS OF THE SULFHYDRYL GROUP OF THE CYSTEINE RESIDUE OF GLYCERALDEHYDE-3-PHOSPHATE DEHYDROGENASE
Authors: Muronetz Vladimir I. , Medvedeva Maria V. , Schmalhausen Elena V.
Published: February 2024

This review considers the main types of oxidative posttranslational modi cations of the glycolytic enzyme glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) targeting the sulfhydryl group of the catalytic cysteine residue Cys152. The highly reactive sulfhydryl group of Cys152 in the active centre of GAPDH undergoes oxidation and S-nitrosylation, leading to enzyme inactivation and destabilization. Upon reversible oxidation of the sulfhydryl group to form cysteine-sulfenic acid, the enzyme loses dehydrogenase activity, but gains the ability to catalyze the acyl-phosphatase reaction. Hydrolysis of the product of the dehydrogenase reaction, 1,3-diphosphoglycerate, under the action of the oxidized GAPDH leads to uncoupling of oxidation and phosphorylation at this stage of glycolysis. The action of nitric oxide results in S-nitrosylation of Cys152 GAPDH and the subsequent formation of cysteine-sulfenic acid due to hydrolysis of the S-NO-group. Data are presented on the relationship between S-nitrosylation of the catalytic Cys152 of GAPDH and its oxidation followed by S-glutathionylation of the enzyme at Cys152. The role of posttranslational modi cations of the sulfhydryl group of the catalytic cysteine residue in the regulation of enzyme activity, as well as the mechanisms ensuring the reversibility of such modi cations are discussed.

Expression of recombinant proteins is important for studying their biological function. Most often, the expression system of the E. coli is used for the primary description of protein properties. However, under overexpression conditions, the rate of aggregation of target proteins often exceeds the rate of proper folding, resulting in the formation of insoluble inclusion bodies. Inclusion bodies are a clear disadvantage of the E. coli expression system because they interfere with the release of target recombinant proteins. One solution to the existing problem is the use of chaperone-like proteins in vitro to refold the target protein. In this work, the recombinant protein MF3 was taken as an example of a chaperone-like protein, which increased the yield of soluble plant chitinase by 92% compared to the yield of this protein using the standard refolding procedure.

Authors: Duymaz Yaşar Kemal
Published: February 2024

Objectives: This study aimed to compare the effectiveness and safety of the harmonic scalpel and traditional methods. Patients and Methods: In this retrospective study data from 180 patients (132 females, 48 males; mean age: 49.1±14.2 years; range, 18 to 86 years) who underwent total thyroidectomy between January 2015 and December 2022 were analyzed. Age, sex, diagnosis, thyroid size, operative time, hospital stay, and complications were recorded. The patients were divided into two groups based on the hemostasis method: harmonic scalpel and conventional methods. All surgeries were performed under general anesthesia with the same surgical teams. Results: The harmonic scalpel group demonstrated a lower incidence of hypocalcemia and shorter operation times compared to the conventional method group. No significant differences were found in vocal cord paralysis, hematoma, seroma, and wound infection rates between the groups. The harmonic scalpel was associated with a shorter mean hospital stay. Conclusion: The harmonic scalpel presents itself as a viable alternative in thyroid surgery, offering shorter operation times and hospital stays with a reduced rate of hypocalcemia.

Kitchen Medicine
Authors: Lewis Debi
Published: February 2024

In this happily-ever-after tale, author Debi Lewis learns how to feed her mysteriously unwell daughter, falling in love with food in the process.

For many parents, feeding their children is easy and instinctive, either an afterthought or a mindless task like laundry and driving the carpool. For others, though, it is on the same spectrum in which Debi Lewis found herself: part of what felt like an endless slog to move her daughter from failure-to-thrive to something that looked, if not like thriving, at least like survival. The emotional weight of not being able to feed one’s child feels like a betrayal of the most basic aspect of nurturing. While every faux matzo ball, every protein-packed smoothie that tasted like a milkshake, every new lentil dish that her daughter liked made Lewis’s spirit rise, every dish pushed away made it sink.

Kitchen Medicine: How I Fed My Daughter out of Failure to Thrive tells the story of how Lewis made her way through mothering and feeding a sick child, aided by Lewis’ growing confidence in front of the stove. It’s about how she eventually saw her role as more than caretaker and fighter for her daughter’s health and how she had to redefine what mothering—and feeding—looked like once her daughter was well. This is the story of learning to feed a child who can’t seem to eat. It’s the story of growing love for food, a mirror for people who cook for fuel and those who cook for love; for those who see the miracle in the growing child and in the fresh peach; for matzo-ball lovers and the gluten-intolerant; and for parents who want to feed their kids without starving their souls.

Growing up, Mickey Rowe was told that he couldn’t enter the mainstream world. He was iced out by classmates and colleagues, infantilized by well-meaning theatre directors, barred from even earning a minimum wage. Why? Because he is autistic.

Fearlessly Different: An Autistic Actor's Journey to Broadway's Biggest Stage is Mickey Rowe’s story of growing up autistic and pushing beyond the restrictions of a special education classroom to shine on the stage. As an autistic and legally blind person, living in a society designed by and for non-disabled people, it was always made clear to Mickey the many things he was apparently incapable of doing. But Mickey did them all anyway—and he succeeded because of, not in spite of, his autism. He became the first autistic actor to play the lead role in the play The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, landed the title role in the play Amadeus, co-created the theatre/philanthropy company Arts on the Waterfront, and founded the National Disability Theatre. Mickey faced untold obstacles along the way, but his story ends in triumph.

Many people feel they are locked out of the world of autism—that it’s impossible to even begin to understand. In Fearlessly Different, Mickey guides readers to that world while also helping those with autism to feel seen and understood. And he shows all people—autistic and non-autistic alike—that the things that make us different are often our biggest strengths.

The goal of the research is to create an environmentally friendly, resource-efficient technology for the production of ingredients from plant raw materials using liquefied gases. To a certain extent, this scientific research serves to fulfill the tasks specified in the decrees and decisions adopted in this direction and other normative documents: No. 63 of 27.01.2018 “Cultivation and industrialization of licorice and other medicinal plants in the Republic of Uzbekistan on the measures to further develop the processing method.” Decision of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan, President of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated January 7, 2022 No. PF-60 “Development Strategy of New Uzbekistan for 2022-2026 and the announced Decree of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan. “On measures to further accelerate work on systematic support of families and women” PF dated March 7, 2022 – The competition organized together with the Family and Women’s Committee under the Ministry of Poverty Alleviation and Employment within the framework of priority tasks defined in Clause 5.2 of Decree No. 87. In addition, experimental studies of the process of extracting ingredients from plant raw materials using diluted carbon dioxide in the example of namatak, chamomile grapes, pumpkin and melon seeds, fruit seeds, pomegranate peel, as well as beech root (other local raw materials) will be held. Experiments were conducted to determine the influence of the main factors on the extraction of vegetable oils (extracts) based on the developed plan of experiments, mathematical models of the process were obtained as a result of mathematical-statistical processing of the experimental results, rationalization of the influencing factors parameters (pressure in the extractor, process temperature and duration) values are determined.
Harnessing Antioxidants to Counter Oxidative Stress-Induced Apoptosis
Authors: Yiran Deng , Jiayi Wang , Lifang Ma
Published: February 2024

Oxidative stress is a pathological biochemical process caused by an excessive increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) compared to the native antioxidant capacity generated during metabolic processes. High ROS levels are cytotoxic to cells, resulting in oxidative damage to DNA, proteins, and lipids and ultimately triggering apoptosis. Antioxidants capture and neutralize oxygen free radicals and play a crucial role in effectively intervening or reducing ROS levels. Excessive ROS has been reported to be tightly linked with events that induce inflammation, cell transformation, angiogenesis, and tumor cell survival and invasion, resulting in tumor development, neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular disorders, and other pathologies. This review focuses on the source and regulatory mechanisms of oxidative stress and discusses potential therapeutic strategies for intervening in related diseases using antioxidants.
Antimicrobial Stewardship in Resource-Limited Settings

Published: February 2024

Antimicrobials are very important for the treatment of patients. With decades of haphazard prescription and inappropriate use, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has emerged as a global public health threat. In resource-limited settings, besides AMR, there is also the issue of access to antibiotics and increased healthcare costs. In the past, the discovery of new drugs and the modification of older ones helped to counter antimicrobial resistance. Since the 1970s, only a handful of new agents (a few of which are novel) have been introduced into clinical practice periodically. This makes the existing antibiotics to be a limited resource. Antibiotics must, therefore, be used more responsibly and managed carefully to extend their usefulness while being made available to the patients who truly need them. Antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) refers to systematic actions or interventions that inculcate sustainable, rational, and evidence-based antibiotic prescription and use patterns in healthcare institutions. Implementation of AMS programmes would be an appropriate step towards improving patient outcomes, reducing AMR and its adverse economic impact, and building the best-practices capacity of healthcare professionals, among others. Despite these seemingly beneficial benefits, the implementation of antimicrobial stewardship programmes (ASPs) remains relatively limited and faces complex challenges in resource-poor healthcare settings.
Big Data Analytics for Yield Prediction in Precision Agriculture
Authors: N. Vasudevan , T. Karthick
Published: February 2024

India’s agriculture industry is crucial to its economic growth and one of its most fundamental endeavors. Regarding a country’s economic prosperity, agriculture is among the most significant factors contributing to the happiness and well-being of its citizens. To improve agricultural output, “smart agriculture,” or the use of technology, strives for more accurate disease control, irrigation, and yield prediction. Precision agriculture is applying big data analytics and the Internet of Things to the farming industry. Agricultural production will increase dramatically as a result of this. The Internet of Things (IoT) and massive amounts of data are used in precision agriculture to improve crop quality and yields. In this research, we use the grape plants and their associated factors (temperature, humidity, rainfall, pH, sun irradiance, etc.) from the Smart Agriculture dataset to develop an N-stage CNN. In this work, we use machine learning approaches for irrigation scheduling and the DoubleGAN methodology for disease diagnosis in plants. This effort aims to create an N-stage CNN model that will significantly boost agricultural output by enhancing grape plant yield. The yield prediction is quite accurate since we considered practically all necessary characteristics and photos for plant development, including irrigation schedule and disease detection.

The service control board is a tool used to monitor workshop conditions according to actual conditions. there is a difference in the status of the service unit on the service control board manual with the actual service unit status in the workshop, the distance between the foreman's office and the service advisor's office is quite far so the foreman has to come to the service registration office every time to update the service unit's status on the service control board manual, the customer has difficulty in read the service control board manual because it uses certain symbols. The service control board system information system is a solution to solve existing problems. With the creation of a service control board system, the processes and procedures for updating service unit status will be more effective and efficient and the information displayed will be more accurate and real-time.
The Socratic Moment
Authors: Montgomery Jack ,   DePaul University
Published: February 2024

This essay attempts to rethink what is here called “the Socratic Moment” in Western philosophy, that is, the unique turn that philosophy takes in the early Socratic dialogues of Plato. The essay begins by contesting the traditional view that the goal of Socratic inquiry is to gain irrefutable knowledge of ethical concepts such as courage, justice, friendship, and the holy for the purposes of future action. It argues instead, through a close reading of key passages from Plato’s Apology and Euthyphro, that Socratic inquiry actually begins with the concept under consideration in order to put the interlocutor themself—their beliefs and their actions—into question.
Neonatal Gastrointestinal Emergencies
Authors: Alatas Fatima Safira
Published: February 2024

Background: Neonatal gastrointestinal emergencies refer to a set of life-threatening conditions affecting the digestive system of a newborn within the first 28 days of life and often associated with high morbidity and mortality. As such, these conditions require immediate and accurate diagnosis as well as proper treatment to optimize the outcomes of these patients. This condition has the potential to obstruct the flow of gastric content leading to vomiting, failure to thrive, and electrolyte imbalances.
Discussion: Gastrointestinal obstruction is one of the most common conditions causing emergency condition in neonates. This condition may occur anywhere between the upper part of gastrointestinal tract to the lower gastrointestinal tract. In most cases of neonatal gastrointestinal emergencies, patients almost always present with vomiting that may be bilious or non-bilious. Furthermore, persistent vomiting may also lead to a more severe consequences such as hypovolemic shock and electrolyte imbalances. Therefore, clinicians are expected to address this problem early while also working to find the underlying etiologies of neonatal vomiting. On the other hand, gastrointestinal bleeding is often an alarming sign that indicates a possible emergency condition in neonates. However, some non-emergency condition such as swallowed maternal blood and cow's milk allergy can also result in gastrointestinal bleeding in neonates.
Conclusion: Given the critical time window and the vulnerability of the neonate population, the proper identification and prompt treatment of neonatal gastrointestinal emergencies is crucial to minimize morbidity and mortality. Multidisciplinary management with neonatologists, pediatric surgeons, radiologists, and nursing staff working closely together can provide the best possible outcomes.
