Authors: C. Gehlert Nathan , Truong Quynh Xuan Nguyen
Published: November 2022

Background As a national health care system becomes overwhelmed, healthcare workers (HCWs) are challenged in unique ways. Healthcare workers have been found to experience heightened levels of anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, and suicidality, along with decreased attention to self-care. The present study reviews a health education and capacity-building workshop in Vietnam, which focused on teaching HCWs how to develop positive coping and self-care strategies. Methods The three-hour workshop was presented to 856 HCWs in August, 2021, and had learning objectives related emotional intelligence, burnout, compassion fatigue, PTSD, and practical tips for self-care. Participants were surveyed eight weeks after the workshop to measure their implementation of self-care practices. Participants provided numerous comments about the helpfulness of the self-care skills they learned. Results Eighty-six percent of participants either agreed or strongly agreed with the statement, I have applied what I learned about self-care to my self-care routine. Discussion Participants in the sample clearly reported that they were implementing self-care strategies; their comments strongly support that this practice was not only functional, but also meaningful. The workshop presentations specifically targeted the areas of building social support, developing positive coping styles and self-care, improving lifestyle habits, and focusing on service to community and meaning-making. The fact that the vast majority of participants reported using these skills in their work and professional lives is an important outcome. Conclusion The available evidence demonstrates that participants in the workshop have implemented new strategies in their self-care practices. International collaborators in other countries are encouraged to partner with in-country teams to market and organize similar programs, and to be prepared to address the ongoing needs of the communities they support.

The anchovy shop is a company engaged in the sale of fish. The sales system used today is a conventional system, in which the buyer must come directly to the anchovy shop to see the products offered. One of the most supportive aspects is the existence of e-commerce facilities that can assist in the sales process or product offering. With e-commerce, companies can market their products online so consumers who are out of town can see and order products without having to come directly to the store. With the e- commerce system, the system certainly requires a good product data management or management. Based on the results of interviews from the anchovy shop and referring to the problems above, it is necessary to create a system that can solve all the problems that exist today.
Perspective: A Guide to Successful ml to L Scale Vitrification and Rewarming
Authors: Gangwar Lakshya , Phatak Shaunak S. , Etheridge Michael , Bischof John C.
Published: November 2022

Cryopreservation by vitrification to achieve an "ice free" glassy state is an effective technique for preserving biomaterials including cells, tissues, and potentially even whole organs. The major challenges in cooling to and rewarming from a vitrified state remain ice crystallization
and cracking/fracture. Ice crystallization can be inhibited by the use of cryoprotective agents (CPAs), though the inhibition further depends upon the rates achieved during cooling and rewarming. The minimal rate required to prevent any ice crystallization or recrystallization/devitrification
in a given CPA is called the critical cooling rate (CCR) or critical warming rate (CWR), respectively. On the other hand, physical cracking is mainly related to thermomechanical stresses, which can be avoided by maintaining temperature differences below a critical threshold. In this simplified
analysis, we calculate ΔT as the largest temperature difference occurring in a system during cooling or rewarming in the brittle/glassy phase. This ΔT is then used in a simple "thermal shock equation" to estimate thermal stress within the material to decide if the material is above
the yield strength and to evaluate the potential for fracture failure. In this review we aimed to understand the limits of success and failure at different length scales for cryopreservation by vitrification, due to both ice crystallization and cracking. Here we use thermal modeling to help
us understand the magnitude and trajectory of these challenges as we scale the biomaterial volume for a given CPA from the milliliter to liter scale. First, we solved the governing heat transfer equations in a cylindrical geometry for three common vitrification cocktails (i. e., VS55, DP6,
and M22) to estimate the cooling and warming rates during convective cooling and warming and nanowarming (volumetric heating). Second, we estimated the temperature difference (ΔT) an d compared it to a tolerable threshold ( ΔTmax) based on a simplified "thermal shock" equation
for the same cooling and rewarming conditions . We found, not surprisingly, that M22 achieves vitrification more easily during convective cooling and rewarming for all volumes compared to VS55 or DP6 due to its considerably lower CCR and CWR. Further, convective rewarming (boundary rewarming)
leads to larger temperature differences and smaller rates compared to nanowarming (volumetric rewarming) for all CPAs with increasing failure at larger volumes. We conclude that as more and larger systems are vitrified and rewarmed with standard CPA cocktails, this work can serve as a practical
guide to successful implementation based on the characteristic length (volume/surface area) of the system and the specific conditions of cooling and warming.

BACKGROUND: Pectins have unique properties and great potential to become an indispensable component of cryoprotective environment for platelet freezing. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the possibility of including pectins (apple pectin AU-701, tanacetan) into the composition
of a cryoprotective solution for platelets during low-temperature storage. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Samples of platelet concentrates (PC) were frozen under the protection of complex solutions and stored in an electric freezer at -80 °C for 1 and 6 months. RESULT: The study
showed that of the basic cryoprotectants, the best effect in the preservation of PC was with dimethylacetamide (DMAC). The use of pectins as an additive to the base solution of DMAC statistically improves the preservation of PC after exposure to low temperatures (-80 ° C) for 30 and 180
days. CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that DMAC is more promising as a basis for the development of a new combined cryoprotectant for PC freezing. Moreover, the chemical structure of pectin determines the level of its cryoprotective action in relation to the preservation of PC.

BACKGROUND: Swietenia mahagoni wood is one of the most valuable in world trade and, as a result, natural populations have been decimated due to unsustainable harvesting. The decline in natural population levels is being exacerbated by climate change. In order to ensure
the preservation of valuable genotypes, there is an urgent need to develop strategies to conserve the genetic diversity present within this species. At present, cryopreservation is the most viable option for the long-term storage of plant germplasm, particularly for long-lived species which
are challenging to maintain in the field. OBJECTIVE:To cryopreserve intact seeds of S. mahagoni, with the dual goal of retaining the biosynthetic capacity of plants, which is critical since this species is highly valued for medicinal purposes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Seeds
at a moisture content of 6% were immersed in liquid nitrogen (LN) before warming and recovery. Plantlet establishment and growth were assessed over a period of 70 days and anthraquinone synthesis was determined in roots, stems and leaves. RESULTS: The results showed an initial lag in
the germination rate of cryopreserved seeds compared with control seeds; however, this difference disappeared over time. The lag in seedling emergence observed in cryostored seeds was also evident in the plant characteristics measured following 30 days of culture when all plant parameters
measured were significantly higher in plants produced from control than cryostored seeds. However, after 70 days of growth, these differences were no longer apparent. Anthraquinone levels were also initially lower (at 30 days) in plants regenerated from cryopreserved seeds than those from
control seeds, however, this difference was substantially reduced by 70 days thereby indicating the ability of these plants to accumulate secondary metabolites, albeit at a reduced rate, during the early stages of development. CONCLUSION: In S. mahagoni, the delay in anthraquinone
production in plants regenerated from cryostored seeds during the early stages of development may have occurred as a consequence of the preferential allocation of resources towards the initiation of recovery processes in response to the stresses imposed by cryopreservation. Once the stresses
were overcome and plant growth resumed, resources could be directed to secondary processes such as anthraquinone synthesis.

Published: November 2022

BACKGROUND: The bacterial contaminants in the semen are a major concern for most of the semen production laboratories because they adversely affect the semen quality. During sperm cryopreservation, the inclusion of antimicrobials in extenders may help to minimize bacterial growth.
However, due to bacterial resistance to commonly used antimicrobials, they cannot fully assure microbiological safety to the frozen semen. OBJECTIVE: To estimate the microbial load and antibiogram of microorganisms isolated from the fresh and frozen bull semen. MATERIALS AND METHODS:
The bacterial load was estimated in fresh and frozen semen samples of crossbred Frieswal bulls by the pour plate method. Microorganisms were identified as Gram positive and Gram negative by Gram staining. The representative bacterial colonies were streaked onto different specific media which
were further confirmed by biochemical tests. Bacterial isolates were subjected to in vitro antibiotic sensitivity test. RESULTS: The average microbial load of fresh and frozen semen samples was found to be 8397.4±524.31 cfu/mL and 680.87±105.41cfu/mL, respectively. Microorganisms
belonging to Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Proteus, Klebsiella, Bacillus cereus, Bacillus subtilis, Actinomyces, E. coli, Rhodococcus, Neisseria and Micrococcus were identified in the semen samples. The antibiotic sensitivity testing of the bacterial isolates
revealed that benzyl penicillin was found to be the least effective against the isolated organisms while gentamicin and spectinomycin were found to be most effective among the antibiotics used. Lincomycin, tylosin and streptomycin showed moderate efficacy against the bacterial isolates.
CONCLUSION: Gentamicin, tylosin, lincomycin, and spectinomycin (GTLS) antibiotic combination is more effective against bacterial isolates and may be added to semen extender to better control bacterial load and semen quality. .

Published: November 2022

BACKGROUND:Mouse sperm can be stored for long or short-time periods. Nevertheless long-term storage leds to significantly reduced sperm quality and fertility because of cryodamage. Thus, in the storage of semen in mice, it is necessary to focus on media and temperatures that
gives good results in short-term storage. OBJECTIVE:To determine favorable media for short-term storage of mice spermatozoa by evaluating progressive motility, viability, membrane function integrity, acrosome integrity and fragmented DNA rates at various storage temperatures . MATERIALS
AND METHODS: Mouse spermatozoa were collected from epididymides of mature CD1 males and s amples were stored at 24°C and 4°C for 60 h.RESULTS: Motility, viability and membrane function of mice spermatozoa were greatest when stored in KSOM media. Motility and viability were
not different when stored at refrigerator or room temperature in KSOM compared to HTF or PBS mediums for 48 h, but were after 60 h . There was n't any significant variation in terms of acrosome integrity in different preservation conditions. Fragmented DNA rates were similar in fresh sperm
with KSOM and HTF media, while there was higher damage in PBS medium at 60 h . Overall, sperm parameters were affected significantly by the time of storage and type of preservation medium, and PBS extender was not suitable for mice spermatozoa at room and refrigerated temperatures as it caused
the lowest progressive motility, viability, membrane function integrity and the highest DNA damage . CONCLUSION: Mice spermatozoa stored in KSOM retained the best sperm quality parameters both 24°C and 4°C for the first 48 h.

Published: November 2022

BACKGROUND:Novel cryo-techniques are continuously being developed that may better improve cryogenic survival in plants, with the aim of reducing exposure times to otherwise toxic cryoprotective agents whilst maximising regeneration rates. OBJECTIVE:This study used cryo-mesh
and vacuum infiltration vitrification with two vitrification solutions (PVS2 and PVS3) to develop an optimised cryopreservation protocol for Arabidopsis thaliana . MATERIALS AND METHODS:Shoot tips from 10-day old seedlings of wild type A. thaliana were cryopreserved using
either vacuum infiltration vitrification or the cryo-mesh technique. Shoot tips were treated for up to 60 min in increments of 10 min with PVS2 and PVS3, and for an additional 180 and 300 min incubation for cryo-mesh prior to exposure to liquid nitrogen. RESULTS:Both methods resulted
in very high regeneration rates, but which decreased after longer exposure to the vitrification solutions. The highest regeneration rate for vacuum-infiltration vitrification was attained after only 30 min incubation in PVS2 (92.5%) and 50 min incubation in PVS3 (93.55%). In the case of cryo-mesh
the highest regeneration was observed after 180 min incubation in either PVS2 (100%) or PVS3 (92.2%). CONCLUSION: Vacuum- infiltration vitrification is more effective than cryo-mesh by reducing exposure times to cryoprotective solutions whilst achieving very high regeneration rates
of shoot tips of A. thaliana .

Published: November 2022

BACKGROUND: Non-surgical artificial insemination techniques for sheep may benefit from larger numbers of sperm in the insemination dose because the ewe's cervix is convoluted and often cannot be traversed with an insemination gun resulting in deposition of the sperm at the os
cervix. OBJECTIVE: To compare a range of sperm concentrations when cryopreserving semen from Santa Inês rams and determine the effects of this on post-thaw quality. MATERIALS AND METHODS: One ejaculate from each ram (n = 10) was diluted to four sperm concentrations to
obtain the following groups: G – 400, G – 800, G – 1200, and G – 1600 x 10 6 sperm/mL. The semen samples were packaged in 0.25 mL straws, cooled to 5 ºC, cryopreserved in liquid nitrogen vapor, thawed in a water bath (40 ºC/20 s), and were analyzed for computerized
kinetics, capacitation and acrosome integrity, and plasma membrane integrity of sperm. RESULTS: The G – 400 treatment resulted in samples with the highest linearity and progressive motion (P < 0.05) and had significantly greater plasma membrane integrity, and lower capacitation
and acrosome reaction rates compared to G-1600 (P < 0.05). Overall, use of the G – 400 treatment resulted in better kinetics, less plasma membrane damage and less early capacitation. However, despite reducing the ejaculate yield and increasing the costs of the semen freezing process,
the G – 800 and G – 1200 treatments make a greater absolute number of sperm with good kinetics, plasma membrane integrity and capacitation status available. CONCLUSION: Ram sperm concentration impacts cryopreservation, and higher concentrations may be advantageous if a single
rtificial insemination protocol is desirable.

Authors: Shaheen Irum , Ahmad Khuram Shahzad
Published: November 2022

Over the recent decades, unrelenting efforts are being devoted to the sustainable design and synthesis of transitional metal oxide-based photocatalysts with controlled morphology and structural complexity to enhance their catalytic properties. In this account, we have reported the bio-fuel-assisted hydrothermal synthesis of MoO3, MoO3:NiO, and MoO3:PdO/Pd as catalysts to remove azo pollutants from an aqueous solution. Methyl orange was selected as the model dye to represent organic pollutants. This work presents a facile method for improving the visible-light-driven catalytic activity of MoO3 by introducing NiO and PdO. When MoO3:NiO and MoO3:PdO/Pd were illuminated by solar light, emitted radiation originating from oxygen vacancies of NiO and PdO synergistically participated in catalytic reactions of MoO3 giving 98% and 95 % degradation of methyl orange, respectively, in 15 min. To confirm the supporting role of NiO and PdO in the catalysis of MoO3, catalytic experiments were carried out in dark ambient conditions, with only catalysts (without stimulants). Subsequently, the degradation efficiency of MoO3:PdO, and MoO3:NiO was increased to 73% and 84% respectively, from 62 % efficiency of MoO3 suggesting that NiO and PdO greatly increased the efficiency of MoO3 in dark conditions and nearly complete removal of methyl orange by photo-induced visible light degradation. Furthermore, the photocatalysts illustrated good reusability till four runs of experiments without loss in its degradation efficiency. Therefore, the overall catalytic results of the current study are highly proposing MoO3:PdO and MoO3:NiO as excellent photocatalysts for water remediation.

The stages of this method are Identification, helping to see/identify what is actually in the situation; Appreciation, is a form of giving awards and assessments; and Solution, together students look for creative solutions to a problem. With the strategy of providing academic guidance services using the coaching method with an IASP approach, it is hoped that there will be collaboration between students and lecturers by finding the best solution in the mentoring process to improve academic achievement while students are studying at STAH Negeri Mpu Kuturan Singaraja.

The assessment and authentication of edible fats using NMR spectroscopy and several techniques in chemometrics for the determination of the compounds that are present in the mixture of edible fats and oils were reviewed. NMR spectroscopy was used to determine the compound in edible fats and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was performed on the NMR data for compound grouping. Meanwhile, Partial Least Square (PLS) was used to predict the amount of adulteration that present in the sample with high accuracy. The application of NMR and these chemometrics techniques have speed up the analysis of fats and oils, and given good results in the detection of compound in the edible fats and the determination of adulterant in the fats mixtures that can be a potential techniques for halal authentication.

Introduction: The knowledge and attitude of a doctor towards shisha and tobacco cessation counseling goes a long way in achieving a successful quit for smokers. This study was conducted with the aim of assessing the knowledge of doctors in Nigeria, using Kebbi State as a case study, on shisha and also exploring their attitudes and willingness towards clinical tobacco cessation counseling of shisha smokers.

Methods: This study was a questionnaire-based survey of 78 doctors in Kebbi State, Nigeria. The collected data was analyzed using SPSS version 20 software.

Results: Only 63 (80.8%) of the respondents were aware of shisha. Among these 63 respondents that were aware of shisha, 4.8% of them were shisha smokers, 46.0% knew that shisha smoking can lead to periodontal disorder, 65.1% agreed that shisha smoking is a gateway to the use of other tobacco products, and 53.2% had had an encounter with a shisha smoker, of which only 63.6% of them (i.e. those 33 respondents who had the encounter) engaged themselves in a discussion on smoking cessation with the encountered shisha smokers. The majority of the surveyed doctors, irrespective of their age, gender, specialization, departmental affiliation, years of practice and shisha smoking history, were positively disposed towards clinical counseling of shisha smokers on tobacco cessation.

Discussion: This study shows that the surveyed doctors are positively disposed towards counseling their shisha-smoking patients on the importance of tobacco cessation; despite their inadequate knowledge on shisha.

Conclusion: Clinical counseling on tobacco cessation among shisha smokers should be encouraged in Nigeria.

Authors: Olubor Osayem J. Otabor - , Das Sanjoy K. , Wanyama Situma P.
Published: November 2022

Purpose: To determine the visual outcome of pars plana vitrectomy following endophthalmitis.

Methods: A retrospective hospital-based study of 20 eyes of consecutive patients who had pars plana vitrectomy by a particular surgeon following endophthalmitis in the Ispahani Islamia Eye Institute and Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh from August – December 2017. Using the Snellen's visual acuity chart, post-operative distant visual acuity improvement was graded 0– 9, with 0 meaning no improvement in visual acuity, and 9 meaning nine lines of improvement in visual acuity from presenting best corrected visual acuity.

Results: Pre-operative corrected distant visual acuity (CDVA) ranged from perception of light to 6/36. Seventy percent of the patients had postoperative visual improvement of varying degrees. The mean pre-operative and post-operative CDVA were 2.20 logMAR and 1.40 logMAR respectively. All the patients tractional retinal detachment and corneal laceration with rhegmatogeneous retinal detachment as co-morbidities did not have visual improvement, and this was statistically significant (p-value = 0.007). There was an association (although not strong) between age range and postoperative visual improvement (p-value = 0.639).

Conclusion: Pars plana vitrectomy helps to prevent or minimize ophthalmic complications from endophthalmitis, thus making it a necessary line of treatment endophthalmitis. Pars plana vitrectomy is therefore a safe and desirable definitive treatment for endophthalmitis, and it confers a good chance of visual improvement.

Authors: Sikambale Chazya , Ahmed Y , Vwalika B
Published: November 2022

Objective: The objective of the study was to determine the fetal outcome, magnitude of meconium stained amniotic fluid (MSAF) or meconium stained liquor (MSL), and risk factors responsible for MSAF at University Teaching Hospital in Lusaka, Zambia. That the frequency of MSAF during the period under study at UTH was 10.2%. It also demonstrated no significant difference in terms of good Foetal outcome at 5 minutes in women with MSAF compared with those without MSAF. (Adjusted p value= 0.773). Most women (90.2%) with MSAF also had good outcome of Apgar score 7 or more at 5 minute though less when compared to those without MSAF at 97.8%. Caesarean section (C/S) rate was high (37.6%)

Methods: The study was a case control study conducted at University Teaching Hospital (UTH) in Lusaka Zambia from May to August 2018. Information was collected from a calculated sample size of 186 women using a structured interview schedule of which 93 were cases and another 93 were controls. Patient files were also used to collect data. In order to ensure that the findings were valid, the statistical significance was set at p < 0.05

Results: The study found among women with MSAF versus 19.4 % among those without MSAF. There was also a strong association between MSAF and being delivered by C/S (Adjusted odds ratio = 4.579 and adjusted p value = 0.002) indicating that women with MSAF were 4.5 times more likely to be delivered by C/S as compared to those without MSAF. Electronic monitoring of patients with MSAF was low with only 33 (35.5%) of women with MSAF being monitored with cardiotocography (CTG). During the period under study, 30 (32%) women with MSAF had associated complications. However, there was no significant association between any demographic characteristic, and or investigated obstetric risk actor and MSAF

Conclusion: The frequency of MSAF at UTH was 10.2%. The study demonstrated no significant difference in Foetal outcome at 5 minutes in women with MSAF compared with those without MSAF. However, Caesarean rate was noted to be high at 37.6% in those with MSAF compared to those without MSAF at 19.4%. No investigated complication was significantly associated MSAF at UTH.
