A etnobotânica enquanto ciência tem revelado em todo mundo um quantitativo importante de espécies vegetais utilizadas no tratamento de diversas doenças. Na América Latina a maioria destes estudos é referente às plantas medicinais. Tratando-se das patologias vinculadas ao sistema urogenital, em áreas do Nordeste brasileiro têm sido descrito um número significativo de espécies vegetais. Nesse sentido, considerando a necessidade na ampliação destas informações em localidades ainda não estudadas, como os consultórios, o presente estudo tem o objetivo de registrar o conhecimento relacionado ao uso de plantas medicinais no tratamento de infecção urinária, incontinência urinária, doença renal crônica, hipertrofia prostática, câncer do trato urogenital masculino e feminino e cálculos renais. O estudo foi conduzido nesses espaços por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas direcionadas a pacientes e formulários online aos profissionais urologistas. Foram entrevistados 76 informantes (61 pacientes - 29 pacientes do consultório de Guarabira, 12 pacientes do consultório de João Pessoa e 19 do Hospital Universitário; e 15 médicos). Além disso, o valor de uso (VU) das espécies vegetais foi calculado no intuito de quantificar a importância local das plantas na visão dos entrevistados. Foram registradas 61 espécies de plantas utilizadas no tratamento de infecção urinária, incontinência urinária, doença renal crônica, hipertrofia prostática, câncer do trato urogenital masculino e feminino e cálculos renais. De modo geral, a prática é atualmente desenvolvida em maior representatividade por pacientes, a maior parte dos médicos urologistas entrevistados não costumam utilizar, nem indicar o uso de plantas medicinais no tratamento das doenças avaliadas, contudo a maior parte não contraindica. Considerando a prática popular em se utilizar plantas medicinais, o reconhecimento destas por parte do Ministério da Saúde e o despreparo de alguns profissionais da saúde em lidar com a temática, são necessários estudos capazes de reconhecer as espécies utilizadas pelas populações e respectivas práticas envolvidas, bem como diagnosticar a eficiência ou não destes medicamentos tradicionais, a fim de preparar os profissionais da saúde para apontarem espécies que possam servir como forma alternativa de uso no tratamento de doenças que acometem o sistema urogenital.

O conhecimento a respeito de espécies animais silvestres é algo percebido ao longo do mundo, sendo evidenciado por diferentes grupos sociais através de estudos etnozoológicos. As aves capturadas são atribuídas a finalidades como, alimentação, fins de criação, medicina tradicional, comércio ilegal, rituais religiosos e ornamentação. As populações humanas que vivem dentro e nos arredores de unidades de conservação desenvolvem amplo conhecimento sobre a vida silvestre. Isso inclui informações sobre as espécies alvos de caça. Estima-se que a riqueza de espécies de aves conhecidas pelas pessoas locais pode dar indicativo de quais espécies estão disponíveis no ambiente, assim como, quais delas vem sofrendo pressão de uso. Nesta pesquisa, buscamos acessar o conhecimento local sobre as aves que ocorrem no Parque Nacional de Sete Cidades, Piauí, discutindo os aspectos conservacionistas envolvidos nessa relação. Por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas (n = 31 entrevistados), inventariamos as espécies de aves conhecidas, os usos atribuídos e analisamos a abundância percebida. Como resultado foram registrados 118 etnoespécies, sendo a família Columbidae a mais citada (n = 10). Sobre os usos, encontramos finalidade para a criação (87% do total de citações), alimentação (81%), uso mágico-religioso (16%) e medicinal (10%). Para os entrevistados, Penelope superciliaris é a espécie menos encontrada. Os resultados destacam a contribuição do conhecimento das pessoas locais para a conservação das aves no parque, sobretudo quanto à presença de espécies e quais delas estão sofrendo pressão de uso. Relevantes informações para estudos ecológicos com foco no manejo populacional foram coletadas.
Exactly solvable lattice Hamiltonians and gravitational anomalies
Authors: Chen Yu-An , Hsin Po-Shen
Published: May 2023

We construct infinitely many new exactly solvable local commuting projector lattice Hamiltonian models for general bosonic beyond group cohomology invertible topological phases of order two and four in any spacetime dimensions, whose boundaries are characterized by gravitational anomalies. Examples include the beyond group cohomology invertible phase without symmetry in (4+1)D that has an anomalous boundary \mathbb{Z}_2ℤ2 topological order with fermionic particle and fermionic loop excitations that have mutual \piπ statistics. We argue that this construction gives a new non-trivial quantum cellular automaton (QCA) in (4+1)D of order two. We also present an explicit construction of gapped symmetric boundary state for the bosonic beyond group cohomology invertible phase with unitary \mathbb{Z}_2ℤ2 symmetry in (4+1)D. We discuss new quantum phase transitions protected by different invertible phases across the transitions.

Composite films are an alternative in the replacement of synthetic polymers. These films can be prepared from polysaccharides and used to store various drugs to be applied in different areas. In addition, aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG) is an ethylene inhibitor that prolongs shelf life of food. For this reason, this research aimed to take advantage of the brown algae Macrocystis pyrifera and Lessonia trabeculata to extract sodium alginate and produce films composed of sodium alginate/ kappa-carrageenan/iota-carrageenan, which were plasticized with glycerol and polyethylene glycol 400 and loaded with aminoethoxyvinylglycine. The extracted sodium alginate was characterized by 1 H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), size exclusion chromatography coupled with multi-angle light scattering (SEC-MALS), thermogravimetry (TG/DTG), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD); and the composite films were characterized by FTIR, XRD, TG/DTG, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Then, the drug release kinetics were investigated using Higuchi and Korsmeyer-Peppas kinetic models. The extracted alginates obtained were of low molecular weight, and the films showed desirable properties for AVG release. Furthermore, drug release profiles revealed that AVG release is governed by Fick’s Law, and this is favored at low temperatures. In summary, sodium alginate allows the preparation of composite films, which can replace synthetic polymers to be used in the loading and releasing of drugs.

Different Body Fat Percentages: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Cao Silu , Wang Huijuan , Tang Lijun , An Guanghui
Published: May 2023

Introduction:

Increased body fat may influence the partition coefficients of inhaled anesthetics.
We compared patient responses to desflurane and sevoflurane anesthesia, as measured by a quicker
recovery and fewer complications, in patients with higher body fat percentages, not only obese people.

Methods:

This study included 120 patients. Participants were stratified into low or high body fat percentages
groups using bioelectrical impedance analysis and were randomized 1:1 to receive desflurane
or sevoflurane as an inhaled anesthetic, recorded as Low-Desflurane, Low-Sevoflurane, High-
Desflurane, and High-Sevoflurane. Recovery time, Riker sedation–agitation scale scores, and complications
were recorded over 1 hour in the post-anesthesia care unit.

Results:

A total of 106 patients were analyzed. There were no significant differences in the overall recovery
time between the patient subgroups with higher and lower body fat percentages; in addition,
there were no significant differences in the incidence of nausea, vomiting,dizziness, or headache (all
p>0.05). However, the incidence of agitation emergence in the HighSevoflurane subgroup was significantly
higher compared to the High-Desflurane subgroup (33.3% vs.7.41%; p = 0.043).

Conclusion:

In conclusion, for patients with a lower body fat percentage, both desflurane and sevoflurane
can provide good and fast recovery; for patients with a higher body fat percentage,desflurane may
provide better recovery with a lower incidence of agitation emergence compared to sevoflurane.

Electrodeposition of the iron oxide (FexOy) nanoparticles on the graphite felt was prepared from a mixture of iron (II) and iron (III) precursor solution with various pHs (2, 7, and 10) by applying a constant current (galvanostatic) of 0.1 A for 30 minutes. Each resulting sample was coded GF/FexOy -2, GF/FexOy -7, and GF/FexOy -10, respectively. Graphite felt without modification, Raw-GF, was used as control. The mass of iron oxide (FexOy) deposited ranged from 0.02 to 0.03 grams. The product characterisation using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) showed the distribution of 500 nm particles on the surface of the graphite felt for the GF/FexOy -2 sample. In comparison, the distribution of larger particles (1 – 2 μm) was observed in the samples of GF/FexOy -7 and GF/FexOy -10, respectively. Spectrum resulting from an X-ray Diffraction Spectroscopy (XRD) showed the formation of iron oxides (FexOy) such as magnetite (Fe3O4), haematite (Fe2O3), goethite (FeOOH), and lepidocrocite (FeO(OH)). Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR) spectrum also confirmed the presence of Fe2O3 in the GF/FexOy -2 sample, Fe3O4 in the GF/FexOy -7 and GF/FexOy -10 samples, and FeOOH in all three samples. Applying the iron oxide modified graphite felt in the electro-Fenton approach process without aeration showed that it can degrade bio-refractory pollutants, such as methyl orange. The observed degradations of methyl orange were a decrease in the colour intensity up to 81.37% and a decrease in the COD up to 49.85%.

Authors: Marya Dina Tri , Sofiana Anjar , Hanif Muhammad
Published: May 2023

Tallow is a less economical and underutilized animal's fat. In fact, tallow comprises triglycerides from several fatty acids which support skin protection by increasing moisture and preventing dryness. The use of tallow in soap manufacturing will gain its interest and enhance its value added. In this study, solid soaps are prepared using tallow as raw materials by adding kefir curd from goat milk. This study analyzed the physicochemical and organoleptic characteristics of the particular soaps by developing a completely randomized design (CRD) experiment. The kefir curd gradually increased its proportion in soap manufacturing and observed its effect on pH, moisture content, degree of foaming, and foam stability. Organoleptic tests for both hedonics and hedonic qualities were also performed and analyzed by Kruskal Wallis's nonparametric analysis. The statistical analysis reported a significant difference of 6% curd addition on pH (p<0.05) than fewer or without curd additions. The average moisture content of soap with a 6% curd addition did not differ significantly from the soap with a 4% curd addition. However, these moisture contents significantly differed from others by less or without curd addition. All soap formulations also showed no significant difference in foam height and stability. Meanwhile, the hedonic quality tests showed that the soaps has moderate foam forming degree and less fat aroma. In addition, the foam forming degree and fat aroma was not significant for all formula. The hedonic test showed that the panelists preferred tallow soap with a 6% curd addition, even though the analysis reported no significantly different (p>0.05).

Published: May 2023

This study aims at determining the optimum fortification with red dragon fruit peel extract evaporated with MAE method towards the physicchemistry characteristics of symbiotic yogurt. The research object is symbiotic yogurt made of pasteurized fresh milk, red dragon fruit peel extract evaporated with Microwave Assisted Extraction (MAE) method and evaporated with rotary vacuum evaporator, and yoghurt starter containing lactic acid bacteria: Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus (1:1). The study employs an experiment with Complete Random Design in four treatments including without fortification with red dragon fruit peel extract (P0) and with fortification with red dragon fruit peel extract at 10% (P1), 20% (P2), and 30% (P3) (v/v) with three replications. The variables to be analyzed include physical quality (pH, viscosity, syneresis), color (L*, a*, b*) and chemical quality (acid total, lipid and protein level). The data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). If there was a difference, the analysis would be continued using Duncan multiple Range Test. The result indicates that the fortification with red dragon fruit peel extract shows significant differences on the pH level (P<0,05), viscosity (P<0,01), syneresis, color (L*, a*, b*) and chemical quality of symbiotic yoghurt. Fortification with red dragon fruit peel extract reduces the pH level and syneresis while it increases viscosity, total acid and protein level because of the fiber content i. e. pectin which functions as a stabilizer. Moreover, it also decreases the lipid profile and increases the turbidity (L*, b* and a*) values. It is concluded that the optimum fortification of 20% with red dragon fruit peel extract evaporated using MAE method results in symbiotic yoghurt observed from its physic-chemistry quality.

Food additives had been used to prevent and inhibit the growth of microorganisms and extend shelf life of food. Based on the safety of their used, it has an impact such as microorganism resistance to synthetic antimicrobials. This encourages the development of antimicrobials derived from natural ingredients, especially from milk. The bioactive components of milk protein have not always existed in their natural state, including precursors or peptides that will only be active if they have been hydrolyzed in vitro from their natural proteins. Hydrolysis of milk protein can be carried out using proteolytic enzymes from various sources, including protease extracted from Bacillus lincheniformis. This study used different concentrations of the protease extracted from Bacillus lincheniformis (0.5%, 1% and 1.5%) to produce hydrolyzate which has antibacterial activity in terms of protein content, SDS PAGE profile and the size of the inhibition zone (disc method). The results showed that the best activity of the whey hydrolyzed on Gram-negative Escherichia coli was 1% concentration of protease enzyme. In comparison, Gram positive Staphylococcus aureus can be inhibited with 0.5% concentration of protease enzyme.

Although it is not a contemporary creation, there is evidence in our context of the growth of multimodal narratives addressed primarily to Brazilian children readers. This is the offer of narratives that, based on different strategies, are built not only through the literary text, but also through its dialog with other languages, of which we highlight here illustration and graphic design. Among such works, we propose the reading of Pra lá, by Luiz Tatit (2012), Dante Onzzetti and Edith Derdyk; Era uma vez outra vez, by Edith Chacon and Priscilla Ballarin (2022); and O que é que isso é? (2020), by Alexandre Rampazo. We aim to highlight the need for a synergic reading of the different languages that make up the book object in order to different reading layers can be reached. We also aim to discuss how the reading of multimodal works demands a different kind of reading and reader.

Published: May 2023

Ages and Stages Questionnaires (ASQ-PT) is a screening instrument that has already been standardized and adapted to Portuguese child population. We conducted a study to understand professionals and parents perceptions on the use of Ages and Stages Questionnaires (ASQ-PT). Families and professionals (early intervention, health and education) from three geographical areas of Portugal (North, Center and Lisbon and Tagus Valley) used this instrument to screen children. After we analyze the screening system implemented and the collected data, a set of key words allowed us to reflect on the practical implications of screening and the ASQ system: Motivation; Collaboration; Trust; Knowledge/empowerment; Coordination; Dissemination; Training. Results of this qualitative study are presented with suggestions on enhancing ASQ-PT uses.

Published: May 2023

ackground/Aim: For many years, it was empirically estimated that the majority of the routine colon biopsies in Swedish patients with ulcerative colitis (UC), exhibited cross-cut crypts. The aim of the present study was to assess the frequency of cross-cut crypts (CCC) and well-oriented crypts in routine colon biopsies in German patients with UC. Patients and Methods: In total, 447 colon biopsies: 376 with UC and 71 controls were investigated. Results: Out of 376 colon biopsies with UC, 73% exhibited ≥60% CCC. Out of the 237 biopsies showing ≥80% CCC, as many as 71% exhibited 100% CCC in individual biopsies. Similar percentages were found in control biopsies. Conclusion: The majority of the routine colon biopsies with UC, as well as control biopsies in German patients displayed CCC. Thus, an unnoticed, consequent, and systematic cutting technical hitch was introduced during the laboratory processing of colon biopsies. The reason(s) behind the similar histologic processing mode of colon biopsies at the two geographically disparate laboratories (Sweden and Germany) remains elusive. The cross-cutting mode influenced the narrative of biopsies in UC, inasmuch as some histological parameters listed among well-oriented colon sections were not present in sections displaying CCC.

Background/Aim: Ovarian cancer remains one of the most lethal malignancies in women. Optimal surgical cytoreduction is the most important prognostic factor of survival in patients with advanced ovarian cancer. The helium gas plasma device (J-Plasma) has recently been introduced into surgical treatment of these patients with some promising results. The aim of this study was to evaluate the utility of J-Plasma in the debulking surgery of patients with ovarian cancer. Patients and Methods: A single center retrospective analysis of the characteristics of patients with ovarian cancer who had cytoreductive surgery with the use of J-Plasma device from January of 2020 until July of 2022 was conducted. Results: A total of 13 patients were included in our study. Six patients were treated with primary debulking surgery, whereas seven underwent interval debulking surgery after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Complete cytoreduction was achieved in nine patients (64%), and CC-1 in four patients. Most of the patients did not face any major complications; only 1 patient suffered from small bowel fistula that needed relaparotomy. Conclusion: J-Plasma can safely be used in ovarian cancer debulking surgeries performed by gynecologic oncologists in tertiary centres. This technology can safely increase the complete cytoreduction rates.

Background

Despite the importance of humanism in providing health care, there is a lack of valid and reliable tool for assessing humanity among health professionals.

Objective

The aim of this study was to design a new humanism scale and to assess the validity of this scale in measuring humanism among Syrian health professional students.

Methods

The Medical Humanity Scale (MHS) was designed. It consists of 27 items categorized into 7 human values including patient-oriented care, respect, empathy, ethics, altruism, and compassion. The scale was tested for internal consistency and reliability using Cronbach α and test-retest methods. The construct validity of the scale was also tested to assess the ability of the scale in differentiating between groups of health professional students with different levels of medical humanity. A 7-point Likert scale was adopted. The study included 300 participants including 97 medical, 78 dental, 82 pharmacy, and 43 preparatory-year students from Syrian universities. The Delphi method was used and factors analysis was performed. Bartlett test of sphericity and the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin measure of sample adequacy were used. The number of components was extracted using principal component analysis.

Results

The mean score of the MHS was 158.7 (SD 11.4). The MHS mean score of female participants was significantly higher than the mean score of male participants (159.59, SD 10.21 vs 155.48, SD 14.35; P=.008). The MHS mean score was significantly lower in dental students (154.12, SD 1.45; P=.005) than the mean scores of medical students (159.77, SD 1.02), pharmacy students (161.40, SD 1.05), and preparatory-year students (159.05, SD 1.94). However, no significant relationship was found between humanism and academic year (P=.32), university type (P=.34), marital status (P=.64), or financial situation (P=.16). The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin test (0.730) and Bartlett test of sphericity (1201.611, df=351; P=.01) were performed. Factor analysis indicated that the proportion of variables between the first and second factors was greater than 10%, confirming that the scale was a single group. The Cronbach α for the overall scale was 0.735, indicating that the scale had acceptable reliability and validity.

Conclusions

The results of this study suggest that the MHS is a reliable and valid tool for measuring humanity among health professional students and the development of patient-centered care.

An integrated subsurface study has been performed for a large and mature field at the Bekasap Formation in Central Sumatra Basin. The Bekasap Formation sand represents an undeveloped reservoir because of its heterogeneity. There are five sand reservoirs (BK1, BK2, BK3, BK4, and BK5) from Bekasap Formation, which each zone or layer bounded by a flooding surface. Each sand reservoir has particular characterization based on petrophysical properties that represent geological process. The petrophysical properties consist of shale volume, porosity, and water saturation obtained by wireline log calculation. This study uses conventional core data to validate the log calculation to achieve an accurate interpretation. Bekasap reservoir is a sandstone reservoir deposited in an estuarine with tide-dominated. Formation evaluation was done to determine the interest zone by petrophysical properties. The result well-log calculation and reservoir cut-offs showed the thickest reservoir in the BK 3 with the best average values of petrophysical properties with an average shale volume 0.32; porosity of 0.245. Otherwise, in rock type determination, four lithofacies are divided in the reservoir based on flow units. The sample RT 1 and RT2 provided the best reservoir zones with HFU1 and HFU2. The RT 3 and RT 4 dominated in HFU3 and HFU4 had the lowest potential zones of reservoir. The final findings showed a good correlation between sedimentologic analysis and petrophysical properties in the rock type determination. As a result, the best reservoir quality development is controlled by the depositional environment (texture and structure) rather than the diagenetic process in this reservoir. It is proven by petrophysical properties in BK1, and BK2 is coastal barrier sand (tidal sand bar) has more clean sand rather than in BK3 and BK4 deposited in the offshore bar.

Depression is the most common mental disorder among the elderly, affecting approximately 7% of the global elderly population (WHO, 2017). This study aims to analyze factors influencing symptoms of depression among the elderly in urban areas of Indonesia. Adopting a quantitative cross-sectional design, the researchers scrutinized secondary data available publicly from Indonesian Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) 2018. The data were analyzed using logistic regression statistics. We found that there are 11.2% (n=3200) of respondents who experienced symptoms of depression from 28.570 elderly in Indonesia urban areas. The bivariate results showed that gender (95% CI 1.257-1.536), history of chronic diseases (95% CI 1.834-2.242), educational status (95% CI 3.033-5.141), employment status (95% CI 1.434-1.770), marriage status (95% CI 1.134-1.391), and physical activity (95% CI 1.255-1.565) significantly correlated with the symptoms of depression among elderly. Low educational status is the most dominant variable influencing symptoms of depression in urban areas of Indonesia. Education influences individual behavior, the higher the individual's education, the higher the level of knowledge through the ability to receive and rationalize information more easily. Our result might be used in developing the educational programs as a preventive and promotive effort by the government.

Published: May 2023

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat peran pemuda dalam proses merancang-bangun sistem tanggap bencana yang khas dikembangkan komunitas dalam konteks pengurangan risiko bencana di Kelurahan Tanjung dan Kelurahan Paupanda. Peran tersebut dilihat dari segi proses maupun hasil dalam dinamika penanggulangan bencana di Ende. Temuan penelitian ini menempatkan pemuda dalam aktivitas pengorganisasian karena mereka merupakan bagian dari entitas yang ada dalam masyarakat. Mereka terlibat aksi-aksi pengurangan risiko bencana secara kolaboratif sesuai peranan yang tepat bagi mereka. Realitas bencana di Ende menandakan kaitan antara kerentanan lingkungan hidup warga, kebijakan yang dipaksakan dari atas, dan keterbatasan akses penghidupan warga secaraekonomi. Merespons kondisi ini, para pemuda menjadi inisiator untuk memfasilitasi dialog antara warga dengan para pengambil kebijakan. Dalam situasi dan kondisi demikian, maka pemuda dalam konteks kebencanaan tidak dapat dipisahkan sebagai entitas yang ada dalam masyarakat. Kerja pemuda juga tidak mungkin hanya dibaca sebagai heroisme kelompok dan kontribusinya dalam kehidupan komunitas, tetapi semua proses sosial itu berlangsung serta terjalin secara kolaboratif diantara pemuda dan seluruh komponen di dalam masyarakat.Kata kunci: pemuda, resiliensi, risiko, bencana.
