Authors: Rahman Md. Mizanur , Seling Neilson Richard , Kiyu Andrew
Published: May 2022

Background: Malnutrition among under-five children is one of the paramount public health concerns in the country.
Objectives: This study aimed to determine the relationship between under-five nutritional status and household dietary diversity (HDD) and household food security (HFS).
Methods: In this cross-sectional study analysed 808 under-five children’s data from 50 villages in five divisions of Sarawak using a multistage cluster sampling technique. Data were collected by face-to-face interview using interviewer-administered questionnaires. WHO Anthro version 3.2.2 was used for anthropometric, and IBM SPSS version 22.0 was used for multivariate data analysis.
Results: Multivariate analysis showed that children with low HDD were 1.68 times more likely to be stunted than those with high HDD. Children from households with food insecurity but without hunger were 3.86 times and with hunger were 4.02 times likely to be wasted in the last three months and were almost six times more likely to stunted at the same time. The likelihood of being underweight was 2.86 times more likely to occur in households with food insecurity without hunger and 4.89 times in food insecurity with hunger households. In the past 12 months, children from households with food insecurity with hunger were 8.56 times and four times more likely to be stunted with food insecurity without hunger. Underweight children had twice the odds of occurring in households with food insecurity without hunger compared with food secured households. HFS in the last three months had a significant association with wasting, stunting and underweight of the children, while HFS in the last 12 months was associated with stunting and underweight children.
Conclusion: Low HDD had resulted in stunting, and food insecurity had resulted in wasting, stunting and underweight in under-five Dayak children in rural areas of Sarawak. A food-based intervention programme should be undertaken for malnourished children.

ABSTRAK Silinder pejal yang menggelinding di atas bidang miring akan mengalami dua gerak sekaligus, yakni gerak rotasi dan translasi. Gerak rotasi terhadap sumbu silinder pejal dan gerak translasi terhadap bidang miring yang dilalui. Dinamika gerak rotasi dan translasi pada bidang miring menjadi kompleks saat silinder pejal bergerak 2 medium yang berbeda kerapatannya. Penelitian ini merupakan eksperimen di laboratorium untuk menentukan profil jarak terhadap waktu dan kecepatan terhadap waktu untuk gerak silinder pada bidang miring dalam air dengan variasi ketinggian air. Pengambilan data dilakukan menggunakan perekaman video dengan variasi ketinggian air pada saat silinder pejal menggelinding pada bidang miring, lalu video tersebut dipindahkan ke laptop untuk di-tracking menggunakan software tracker. Data yang diperoleh dari hasil tracking tersebut kemudian dibuat grafik profil jarak terhadap waktu dan profil kecepatan terhadap waktu. Pada hasil analisis data selain menghasilkan profil jarak terhadap waktu dan kecepatan terhadap waktu juga memperoleh pengaruh variasi ketinggian air pada profil jarak terhadap waktu dan kecepatan terhadap waktu. Semakin tinggi air, maka semakin pendek lintasan yang ditempuh oleh silinder. Perubahan kecepatan silinder cenderung tidak linear bila ketinggian air tidak tinggi karena gaya gesekan dengan lintasan mulai membesar. Silinder bergerak dengan kecepatan hampir konstan pada saat di dalam air. Kata  kunci— Silinder pejal, software tracker, bidang miring, air ABSTRACT A solid cylinder that rolls on an inclined plane will experience two motions at once, namely rotational and translational motion. Rotational motion about the axis of a solid cylinder and translational motion about the inclined plane traversed. Rotational and translational motion dynamics on inclined plane become complex as a solid cylinder move inside two different mediums that has different density. This research is an experimental research in the laboratory to determine the profile of distance and velocity versus time of cylinder on an inclined plane in water with variations in water level. Data retrieval is done using video recording with variations in water level when a solid cylinder rolls on an inclined plane, then the video is transferred to a laptop for tracking using tracker software. The data are plotted to obtain graph of distance and velocity profile In the results of data analysis, in addition to producing a profile of distance against time and speed with respect to time, it also obtained the effect of variations in water level on the profile of distance against time and speed with respect to time. Higher the water height, shorter the cylinder path. The changes of cylinder speed tend to be non-linear if the height of water is low. This is due to the drag force with the track start to increase. Cylinder move with the speed almost constant under water. Keywords— Solid cylinder, tracker software, inclined plane, water

Published: May 2022

Purpose: To investigate the value of 3T diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) compared to contrast enhanced computed tomography (CECT), in the preoperative staging of patients with suspected ovarian cancer (OC) or with suspected recurrence of ovarian cancer (ROC). Materials and methods: Thirty-two women (mean age 65 ± 14) with suspected (n = 23) or recurrent (n = 9) ovarian cancer were included prospectively in a single center study. CECT and abdominal 3T DW-MRI were performed. Both methods were used to independently score the presence of 1) ovarian tumor, 2) peritoneal or omental carcinomatosis, 3) pathological lymph nodes (LN), along with 4) liver parenchymal, 5) liver capsular, 6) diaphragmatic, and 7) extra-abdominal metastases. Findings were scored as: 0=benign, 1=suspicious for malignancy, or 2=definitely malignant. In addition, the lowest ADC values were measured in existing primary tumors. The extent of disease burden and correlation to histopathological findings were analyzed. Results: The mean disease score was higher in DW-MRI than in CT (4.9 ± 2.6 vs. 3.5 ± 2.2, P < 0.001). Compared to CT, DW-MRI depicted more LN (P = 0.001) and diaphragmatic (P = 0.024) lesions. The lowest ADC values were significantly lower in malignant tumors (n = 18) than in benign tumors (n = 5) (0.640 x10-3mm2 /s ± 159 vs. 0.992 x10-3mm2 /s ± 218, P = 0.002). Conclusion: The results of our prospective single center study show incremental value of abdominal 3T DW-MRI in comparison with CECT, especially in detecting diaphragmatic and peritoneal ovarian cancer metastases, excluding lymph nodal metastases and in differentiating malignant adnexal tumors from benign.

Published: May 2022

The Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC), despite a good initial response to conventional chemotherapy, relapses frequently and has a poor prognosis after the onset of metastases. It is therefore interesting to develop new relevant targets to establish a prognosis but also potentially to propose a targeted therapy for a theranostic approach. A high density of M2-type macrophages presence in the primary TNBC tumor predicted an unfavorable prognosis. The presence of activated M2-type macrophages can be evaluated by measuring the expression of a translocating protein (TSPO) with [18F]-DPA-714 PETCT. This proof-of-concept study with [18F]-DPA-714 PET-CT has a design to establish the correlation between immunohistochemistry tumor characterization and in vivo imaging. If a valid correlation will be established, [18F]-DPA-714 PET-CT could be a based image prognosis biomarker, apart from pathological data, which can be fragmented as biopsy or modified by previous treatments. It would allow adapting early the type/dose-intensity of treatment and considering developments of treatments targeting M2-type macrophages

Authors: Abduldaim Mahir
Published: May 2022

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ViraCide in the management of Corona Virus Disease 2019. Methodology: The study was a randomized, multi center, parallel design, placebo controlled, double blind, clinical trial in patients diagnosed with corona virus disease 2019 with mild or no symptoms and with stable co-morbidities. 118 enrolled subjects were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either placebo treatment or ViraCide (active treatment). Result: The primary efficacy parameters of National Early Warning Score (NEWS) and 7 point ordinal showed a significantly greater improvement in the active group at the end of the study (P < 0.05). In case of NEWS, in the ViraCide group at visit 3, 74.6 % of the subjects had score of “0” which was higher than the placebo in which only 49.2% showed the reduction. In case of the 7 point ordinal scale, in the active group 76.3 % of the subjects had score of 1 which is significantly higher than that of placebo group which is only 47.5%. Time taken for clinical improvement with respect to negative RT PCR test also showed significant difference in the active v/s placebo group. The mean time taken by patients in the active group to test negative was 5.47 days which was significantly lower than placebo which was 6.97 days. The adverse events rate and severity were comparable in both the groups and no clinically significant adverse event was found in the active or placebo group. Conclusion: The use of ViraCide in mild or asymptomatic COVID-19 patients showed time frame reduction with respect to RT-PCR test, as well as clinical improvement demonstrated by NEWS and 7-point ordinal scale and certain laboratory parameters. Further clinical trials are required to evaluate role of ViraCide in managing COVID-19 and establish its mode of action.

Published: May 2022

Introduction: Music interventions are frequently used for psychosocial support in addition to surgical or pharmaceutical treatment, in patients with severe diseases. During the past two decades music therapy is incorporated in the care of cancer patients, in different stages of the disease, both during diagnosis and treatment. Aims & objectives: The aim of this study is to gain a better understanding on the psychological and physical advantages of music interventions in the treatment plans of oncological patients. Methodology: For the completion of this literature review, online searches were performed using the search engines in databases such as PubMed, Embase and Cinahl, Google scholar, in the months of February 2010 to March 2021. From the online search carried out, 70 articles were found, 18 of them were considered as eligible sources from the title and the summary presented, while the remaining 52 articles were rejected. Of these 18 articles 8 studies were isolated, having fulfilled the criteria of being eligible for inclusion in this review. The types of the 8 studies included are: 1 Cochrane review, 1 quantitative comparative study, 1 quasi-experimental study, 3 Randomized controlled trials, 1 clinical trial and 1 pilot research study and the quality of their results range from poor to good. The total number (n) of the participants in the reviewed studies is 4350. Conclusions: Music therapy supports treatment of cancer patients aiming at improving their emotional and physical well-being. However, since the results are mainly based on self-reporting tools (possibility of bias) further, more clinical research could be more enlightening in the future.
Optical Characteristics of Overstressed Nanosecond Discharge Plasma Between An Electrode of Aluminum And Chalcopyrite (CuInSe2) In Argon, Nitrogen And Atmospheric Pressure Air
Authors: Shuaibov Alexander , Malinina Antonina
Published: May 2022

The optical characteristics and parameters of an overstressed discharge of nanosecond duration between an aluminum electrode and an electrode from chalcopyrite (CuInSe2 ) in argon, nitrogen, and air at atmospheric pressure are presented. Due to microexplosions of natural inhomogeneities on the working surfaces of electrodes in a strong electric field, both aluminum and ternary chalcopyrite vapors are introduced into the plasma, which creates the prerequisites for the synthesis of thin films of quaternary chalcopyrite (CuAlInSe2 ) outside the discharge. The pulses of voltage and current across the discharge gap of d = 1 mm and the pulsed energy contribution to the plasma are investigated. The plasma emission spectra were thoroughly studied, which made it possible to establish the main decay products of the chalcopyrite molecule and the energy states of atoms and singly charged ions of aluminum, copper and indium, which are formed in the discharge. Reference spectral lines of atoms and ions of aluminum, copper and indium have been revealed, which can be used to monitor the process of deposition of thin films of quaternary chalcopyrite in real time. The transmission spectra of radiation synthesized in the experiment by thin films, which include aluminum, copper, indium and selenium, which are components of the quaternary chalcopyrite CuAlInSe2 , are presented.

Physical manifestations vary from subject to subject as well as genetic risk factors when considering traumatic brain injury (TBI)/chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and recovery. Clinical and behavioral findings may resemble autism that appear with limited mobility and the physical experience may impact treatment. Ataxia, weakness, hemiplegia, hemiparesis are among them. Novel therapy uncovered physical correlations between subject's presentation and physicality with relief and progress when movement and sound are present and monitored during a case study of an adult male with acute head injury from blunt force trauma reported previously. Namely, the release of soft tissue trigger points relieves stress held in the regions affected through soft tissue trigger points stimuli. The occipital attachments for the extensor muscles and positive responses were noted with the stimulation of these regions with effleurage or cross fiber friction and stripping. Vertigo or nausea affecting equilibrium might present as physical displays of deviations of the ability to control balance. Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo or BPPV, vestibular migraines or Broca’s aphasia, are among other presentations affecting one's balance and need to be considered during treatment. Challenging desensitization or flooding and habituation with compensatory strategies are required to maintain safety and autonomy of daily living ADL while providing relief when other therapies fall short. One must not underestimate the commitment needed during pre-diagnosis or when diagnosing a disability of head injury by evaluating for other risk factors. This may include advanced genetic testing for potential genes that may contribute to brain injury and recovery. Brain imaging may also be required to assess the location and severity that may impact treatment approaches and recovery responses.

Published: May 2022

Recent studies indicate women are increasingly willing to pay for sex from both men and women. Most of these studies have mainly focused on the developed world and little is known about women’s willingness, reasons, and motivation to pay for sex on the African continent, the East African region and in Tanzania, in particular. We explored paid sex behaviors and practices among women who have sex with women (WSW) in Dar-es-Salaam city, Tanzania. The study was designed as a formative qualitative cross-sectional study conducted in Ilala, Kinondoni and Temeke districts in Dar-es-Salaam region. Study participants included community leaders; and WSW aged 18 years and above, who had had engaged in same-sex sex in the past year or in same-sex relationship(s), and had knowledge of WSW’s lived experiences, among other criteria. Most of the WSW participants affirmed paid sex is a common practice among them with reported reasons and motivations being more-or-less similar to those documented in other parts of the world. Findings show that commercial sex is an arena for behavioral convergences, and this calls for new pathways to comprehend (women’s) behavior, sexuality, commercial sex industry and its implications to women’s sexual and reproductive health and healthcare.
Effect of Antimicrobial peptides and chemicals produced by animals on Streptococcus pyogenes
Authors: Akram AlBaraa , McCann Glen
Published: May 2022

There are about 700 million infections occur annually by Streptococcus pyogenes species around the world. Although the mortality rate of these infections does not exceed 0.1%. Among over 650 thousands cases which are invasive and severe, their mortality rate is 25%. Certainly early diagnosis and early treatment play an important role in severity prevention; failure of right diagnosis can lead to sepsis and death. Streptococcus pyogenes species infect the throat, genitalia, rectum and even skin. Among healthy individual, there are 1% to 5% carrier of Streptococcus pyogenes infection in skin, rectum and vaginal without appearance of any signs or symptoms. Among children, about 17% are carriers of these bacteria. There are four methods of transmission of Streptococcus pyogenes species infection which are inhalation of droplets, contact with contaminated objects like surfaces or dust, skin contact and rarely contaminated food. These bacteria can cause deleterious diseases like pharyngitis rheumatic heart disease and scarlet fever which caused by streptococcal infections. Although pharyngitis is caused mainly by viral infection, about 15% to 30% of pharyngitis infections are streptococcal in origin. The rate of pharyngitis infection in adult is less than children infection due to children exposure in nurseries, schools, playgrounds as well as the low host immunity. Infection rate increases during winter time every year. Metabolic type 1 clone is associated with Streptococcus pyogenes species infection. Mortality rate of Streptococcus pyogenes was high in developed country especially before the penicillin era, but the rate decreased after penicillin availability. So, the environmental factors play a vital role in streptococcal infection. Streptococcal infections are more frequently in men rather than women. With patient with risk factors like rheumatic heart disease, cancer, viral infections like covid-19 and flu and surgical incision, streptococcal infection occurs to 17% to 25% of those cases. Among children; chicken pox represents an important risk factor to increase possibility of streptococcal infection. However, 30% of people can be infected with Streptococcus pyogenes species without any previous risk factors. Rheumatic heart disease and scarlet fever occur after throat infection. In this manuscript, some antimicrobial chemicals extracted from animals will be shown and their activity against Streptococcus pyogenes species using optical density analysis technique then their minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) will be determined as well as ICs 50 to measure the potency to inhibit a biological function using programmes like Gene5, graph pad prism as well as testing antimicrobial activity of some chemicals which are found in animal secretions.

O sorgo é uma planta Poaceae com metabolismo C4 originária da África, apresenta alta adaptação a regiões áridas e semiáridas, apresentando uma boa resistência ao deficit hidrico e aos diferentes tipos de solos. Utilizada frequentemente na alimentação animal, humana e na produção de biocombustivel, sendo a principal dela a alimentação animal. O sorgo forrageiro é uma boa alternativa para os sistemas de produção sustentável da agricultura familiar, pois suas características adaptativas e de produção fazem com que seja possível até uma substituição do milho, que apresenta um cultivo mais exigente e mais longo. A adubação orgânica na produção do sorgo pode fortalecer sua importancia para a agricultura familiar, pois faz com que o pequeno produtor possa utilizar o que já tem na sua propriedade e conseguir uma produção vantajosa. O trabalho visou analizar a produção de sorgo com diferentes adubos orgânicos para a avaliar qual deles apresenta melhor produção e melhor alternativa para o produtor. O esterco de aviário se mostou diferente em comparação aos demais adubos, demostrando uma maior altura e diâmetro do caule. O adubo orgânico que teve destaque foi o esterco de aviário, que apresentou uma maior produção de sorgo em relação aos demais tratamentos, confirmando a positividade de sua utilização.

Published: May 2022

A revegetação de áreas degradadas, com comprometimento edáfico e ausência de vegetação, precisa ser precedida por ações que melhorem as características edáficas e assim dar condições ao pleno desenvolvimento das culturas. A espécie Xylopia aromatica, conhecida popularmente como pimenta-de-macaco ocorre no Cerrado e vem sendo utilizada na revegetação de áreas degradadas. Assim, o objetivo com esta pesquisa foi avaliar o crescimento inicial e o estado nutricional de mudas de X. aromatica, introduzidas em área em recuperação, condicionada com macrófitas aquáticas (RO) e cinza do bagaço da cana-de-açúcar (RA), e comparar a mudas da mesma espécie encontradas em Cerrado conservado (CER), para identificação do potencial da espécie na recuperação de áreas degradadas. O estudo foi conduzido em área de supressão da vegetação e dos horizontes superficiais (horizontes A e B) do solo. Na área experimental foram adicionados os resíduos RO e RA em diferentes doses. Mudas de 10 espécies arbóreas de cerrado foram introduzidas na área, entre elas, a X. aromatica. Transcorrido um ano, avaliou-se seu estado nutricional. As mudas na área em recuperação apresentaram teores foliares semelhantes aos das mudas do CER para K, Ca, Mg, B e Mn, e superior para Cu, Fe e Zn. O solo da área experimental apresentou semelhanças ao solo do CER, porém ainda demanda ajustes nos teores de P e matéria orgânica. O crescimento da X. aromatica apresentou melhor resposta no tratamento com 32 t ha-1 de macrófitas e 30 t ha-1 de cinza, doses indicadas para obtenção dos melhores resultados.

Assim, o trabalho objetiva relatar a experiência vivenciada por um residente de nutrição atuante em um Serviço de Atenção Especializada alocado em um hospital universitário em Alagoas, frente ao acolhimento de PVHIV. O presente estudo possui natureza descritiva, do tipo relato de experiência, derivado a partir das atividades e ações assistenciais desenvolvidas durante o Programa de Residência Multiprofissional em Saúde, na Área do Adulto e Idoso, no biênio 2020-2022. O relato foi estruturado em quatro eixos norteadores de discussão, com a abordagem de diferentes temas relevantes para a atuação do profissional nutricionista, formulados a partir das inquietações que surgiram durante a formação em um programa de residência multiprofissional em saúde. O acolhimento inadequado pode ser traduzido no afastamento entre o indivíduo e serviço de saúde, o que reverbera em consequências individuais e/ou coletivas. Durante a formação do(a) nutricionista, discussões pautadas em um ser único e exclusivamente biológico, além do foco na prescrição dietética, podem limitar a visão e atuação do profissional em formação, assim, faz-se necessário que o processo de formação seja revisitado e que o modelo biomédico de assistência seja reavaliado.

The production of phytase and biomass (estimated by the ergosterol content) by submerged fermentation with Aspergillus niger var. phoenicis URM 4924 was studied. Experimental assays were carried under different conditions of pH (4.0 to 8.0) and temperature (25 to 35 ºC), and the influence of these variables on the responses was studied through a 22 central composite design and response surface methodology. Phytase and biomass production were strongly affected by the pH and temperature used during fermentation. Phytase activity was increased in up to 7.8-fold (from 1.04 to 8.09 U/mL) and the ergosterol content was increased in up to 38-fold (from 9.3 to 354.09 µg/mL). The maximum values of both responses were achieved when using pH 4.0 and 30 ºC. Good correlation (second-order fit, R2 = 0.9875) was found between the data obtained for phytase activity and ergosterol content, suggesting that the phytase production depends on the biomass formation. These results are of interest since they contribute for the development of an industrial process for phytase production with elevated yields by submerged fermentation.

Os fatores etiológicos das alterações pulpares, principalmente os de origem biológica, podem desencadear reações inflamatórias nos tecidos perirradiculares. Apesar dos avanços tecnológicos nos tratamentos endodônticos, aumentando a previsibilidade de sucesso, ainda deparamos com casos de infecção persistente. Quando bem indicada e realizada de forma correta, apresentando taxas satisfatórias de sucesso, a cirurgia parendodôntica surge como uma opção de procedimento complementar à desinfecção endodôntica. O presente estudo, tem por objetivo relatar um caso clínico utilizando-se do conceito de microcirurgia parendodôntica em um caso de periodontite apical persistente. Paciente do gênero feminino, 39 anos de idade, sem quadro de alteração sistêmica, procurou a clínica odontológica do curso de Especialização de Endodontia da Faculdade São Leopoldo Mandic, Unidade Belo Horizonte, queixando-se de sintomatologia dolorosa na região dos elementos dentários 14 e 15. Da história pregressa do dente, foi relatado pela paciente ter realizado o retratamento endodôntico na mesma instituição acerca de 5 meses devido a um tratamento anterior que não foi bem-sucedido. Durante o exame clínico foi possível observar a presença de fístula em região vestibular entre os dentes supracitados. Após avaliação clínica e radiográfica optou-se pela realização da microcirurgia parendodôntica, visto o retratamento realizado anteriormente. O relato de caso foi aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética e Pesquisa e está registrado sob o número CAAE: 22295119.8.0000.5374 e número de parecer: 3.651.194.

O objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar a microbacia hidrográfica do Arroio Fundo, localizada na margem esquerda do rio São Francisco Verdadeiro, nos municípios de Quatro Pontes, Marechal Cândido Rondon e Pato Bragado, no extremo Oeste do Paraná, região que é uma das maiores produtoras de pescado cultivado do país. Foi realizada a caracterização morfométrica da Microbacia, a localização, mapeamento e quantificação dos viveiros escavados utilizando geotecnologias. A microbacia apresenta área de 221,7 km², tem perfil alongado e baixo risco de enchentes, e foram mapeados 1.038 viveiros escavados, na sua grande maioria de pequeno porte, totalizando uma área de 226 hectares de viveiros. As maiores aglomerações de viveiros escavados estão situadas na região abaixo da microbacia, próximos a sua foz. As ferramentas de georreferenciamento foram eficientes para a localização, mapeamento e quantificação das áreas e aglomerações de unidades piscícolas, e podem ser importantes para uso na análise ambiental e da cadeia produtiva da piscicultura, por gestores públicos e privados.

This study aimed to evaluate the pathogenicity of the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae on leaf-cutting ants Atta sexdens rubropilosa, under laboratory conditions. It was inoculated suspensions containing different concentrations of conidia on specimens of soldiers and workers, kept under controlled conditions. The mortality was verified daily until 15 days after inoculation. The experimental delineation was entirely random. Sporulation data were submitted to variance analysis and the average of the treatments were compared to each other by the Scott-Knott test. Probit analysis was performed to obtain the values of LT50 (in days). All isolates were pathogenic to A. sexdens rubropilosa, being more virulent for workers than for soldiers. Isolates IBCB 348, IBCB 410 and IBCB 425 were the most efficient in the mortality of the ants. Isolates IBCB 425 and UFGD 03 caused high percentages of confirmed mortality. The results showed that the tested isolates have the potential for using them as control agents of A. sexdens rubropilosa.
