Experimental Endoscope Rotitome-G: A pixel-by-pixel erasure microsurgical endoscopic sarcotome for resection of soft tissue tumours in closed body cavities
Authors: Gandhi Harjeet Singh
Published: November 2022

Background: The procedure of minimal access to the brain through the nose is an ancient practice. However, endoscopic entry via a burr hole has recently gained significant traction in the practice of neurosurgery. High-resolution endoscopic images are possible with limited admittance of accessory tools and instruments. Although brain tissue can be removed easily with a suction device, but it will be uncontrolled ‘excision’. The Rotitome-G is a precision micro-endoscopic target access surgical instrument. It has several accessories for intraoperative assessment and precise removal of the soft tissue lesions pixel-by-pixel within a closed body cavity through a single portal.
Objective: This preliminary theoretical research study on Rotitome-G is transition to experimental cadaveric and clinical studies. It describes the construction and mechanics of this newly conceptualized robot-assisted microsurgical endoscope. The design includes precise excision at the pixel and microscopic level and removes tissue debris under computer-aided navigation and direct instrument vision. Currently, the primary objective is to interest both the neurosurgeons and biomedical engineers, hence its contents are diverse resulting in an extended text.
Methodology: The study provides the basics of computer vision techniques and neuronavigation to establish the function and application of the Rotitome-G. The structure and kinematics of the animalcule Rotifer have been considered followed by the construction of Rotitome-G. For a better understanding of intracranial tumour excision, the article examines the role of intra-operative imaging, biomechanics of brain tissue, and brain shift to better understand the principles of this newly conceived  microsurgical instrument. The functional capabilities of the instrument have been putatively demonstrated by describing the excision of a glioblastoma.
Conclusion: It is expected that the key design of Rotitome-G would meet the goal of neurosurgical resection by excising maximum amount of pathological tissue. Direct microscopic resection will prevent damage to the eloquent areas to improve the prognosis by limiting neurological morbidity. Clinical validity of the Rotitome -G remains to be determined.

Background: Obesity is one of the most common risk factors for other comorbidities, and its prevalence is rising. Among several therapeutic options, sleeve gastrectomy became the preferred option for obese patients, without consideration of other options. The objective of this study is to assess the awareness of the indications and complications of sleeve gastrectomy in the Aseer population between July 2021 and 2022.
Methods: This is a convenience sampling-based, quantitative cross-sectional study. Electronic questionnaires were provided to the study population of both males and females aged 18-75 years, with education levels varying from elementary to master's degree. The study consisted of baseline characteristics, awareness of sleeve gastrectomy indications, and knowledge of the complications of sleeve gastrectomy. All statistical analyses were done using Statistical Package of Social Sciences version 26.
Results: The questionnaire was completed by 586 participants. Of those, 48.3% were younger than 25 years; 54.6% were male, 45.4% were female, 34.8% had an occupation in the medical sector, and 27.6% had an occupation in the education sector. Awareness of personal body mass index (BMI) was significantly different between sexes, with 57.4% in males and 42.6% in females (p = 0.004). Knowledge about personal BMI in medical education sector employees was 50.3% (p > 0.0001) and 22.6% (p < 0.0001) in males and females, respectively.
Conclusion: The awareness level in this study is moderate among well-educated participants. However, there is a need to raise public awareness of the indications and complications of sleeve gastrectomy.

Authors:   1.	Department of Anatomy, Faculty of Medicine and Surgery, University of Malta, Msida, MSD 2080, Malta, Calleja Rebecca , Calleja-Agius Jean
Published: November 2022

Foetal Alcohol Syndrome falls under the umbrella of Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders which are caused by prenatal alcohol exposure. Foetal Alcohol Syndrome is characterised by craniofacial abnormalities, central nervous system abnormalities and growth deficiencies. Alcohol consumption during pregnancy is teratogenic causing issues in multiple aspects of neurological development in the foetus. It is a vital preventable cause of mental disability in the West. The main craniofacial abnormalities that are present in Foetal Alcohol Syndrome include a thin vermillion border, short palpebral fissures, and a smooth philtrum. Alcohol exposure can also cause various epigenetic changes in the developing foetus. This alters gene expression resulting in various abnormalities in different organs and may also affect future behaviour. Prenatal alcohol exposure also affects brain morphology and biochemistry. Alcohol alters survival, migration, and function of various cells in the brain. It also alters the Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid system, a vital neurotransmitter system in the brain. Brain neovascularisation is also altered with consequences on brain perfusion. This literature review shall highlight various effects of alcohol on craniofacial development, epigenetics, glia, the gamma-aminobutyric system, neovascularisation, and cell death in the developing foetus.

Authors: Tanjung Ahmad Albar , Annisa Anggreini Siswanto
Published: November 2022

This research aims to investigate whether the relationship between unemployment and inflation in Indonesia is by the Phillips curve theory. This research is quantitative. The estimation method used is ECM Two-Step Engle-Granger. in the long term, it is estimated using Ordinary Least Square (OLS), while in the short term it is estimated using the Error Correction Model (ECM). The cointegration test uses the Engle-Granger cointegration test. The data used are secondary level data, wage rate data as a proxy for inflation, and unemployment rates from 1991-2020 obtained from the world bank. The findings of this study are that in the short term, the unemployment rate is negatively related to inflation but is not significant, meaning that a trade-off between the unemployment rate and inflation occurs but the effect is not significant. In other words, in Indonesia, the relationship between the unemployment rate and inflation follows the Phillips Curve theory, but in the long run, there is a positive relationship between the unemployment rate and inflation but it is not significant.

Twórczość Hovarda P. Lovecrafta w perspektywie psychologii transpersonalnej Stanislava Grofa
Authors: Olszewski Bogusław
Published: November 2022

Artykuł dyskutuje o twórczości Hovarda P. Lovecrafta ujmowanej z punktu widzenia psychologii transpersonalnej Stanislava Grofa. Umiejscowienie dzieł literackich w tej perspektywie pozwala wskazać inspiracje leżące we wspomnieniach okołoporodowych i transpersonalnych sferach psychiki. Lovecraft, tworzący literaturę weird fiction, dawał w niej wyraz podświadomym doświadczeniom związanym z przeżyciami perinatalnymi, stanowiącymi źródło jego mrocznych fascynacji i inspiracji. Teoria Grofa rzuca światło na specyficzne elementy pisarstwa mistrza grozy, pozwalając rozpoznać w nich reminiscencje życia płodowego. Zjawiska towarzyszące poszczególnym etapom procesu narodzin wpłynęły na osobowość pisarza, nadając charakterystyczny rys prozie i poezji jego autorstwa.
Structure, Properties, and Reactivity of Polyoxocationic Zirconium and Hafnium Clusters
Authors: Bhattacharjee Rameswar , Hare Ethan , Miro Pere
Published: November 2022

Hexameric tetravalent zirconium and hafnium molecular metal oxides clusters are key building blocks of many metal-organic frameworks; however, the chemical space to form all possible MOF nodes is vast, containing many potential new clusters. Our computational study provides a complete picture of the structure, properties, and reactivity of two tetrameric zirconium and hafnium [M4(μ2-η2:η2-O2)x(μ2-OH)8-2x(H2O)16]8+ polycationic clusters. The electronic structure of the studied species has the characteristic polyoxometalate oxygen-based and metal-based bands in the valence region. The energetics for the evolution of pure metal clusters into mixed-metal clusters revealed that only the incorporation of zirconium into hafnium clusters is thermodynamically favorable. We confirmed that the incorporation of up to four peroxide ligands is thermodynamically favorable; however, the experimental absence of rich peroxide species with three or more peroxides is attributed to their thermal degradation. The mechanism for peroxide incorporation involves the partial dissociation of the cluster rather than complete dissociation.

Compulsory te reo Māori in Aotearoa New Zealand schools
Authors: Mercury Monica , Wood Bronwyn
Published: November 2022

While support for compulsory te reo Māori in schools in Aoteaora New Zealand is growing, there is a risk that any future policy could fail, or be only poorly implemented, unless we understand more deeply the factors which shape effective language policy implementation in schools. In this paper we employ a ‘future policy analysis' to explore what it would take to effectively implement a compulsory te reo Māori policy in schools in the future. We report on interviews with twelve purposively selected stakeholders (including Māori, Pākehā, Chinese and Samoan teachers, principals and one Member of Parliament) to elicit from their experiences and reflections the key elements required to implement te reo Māori well in schools. Participants identified that prioritising and valuing te reo Maori was foundational and essential for any potential policy shift at both national and school level. In addition, participants elaborated on how teacher expertise, resourcing, time and leadership support through senior management was integral to successful adoption and implementation. The paper concludes by recommending urgent attention to a range of future-focused strategies that beginning right now could bring about transformational change in our schools and give te reo Māori the mana it deserves.
Manos sucias, árboles y cemento: una lectura ecocrítica de Huracanada de Mayra Santos-Febres
Authors: Figueroa Víctor
Published: November 2022

Este ensayo examina el poemario Huracanada (2018), de la escritora puertorriqueña Mayra Santos-Febres, desde una perspectiva ecocrítica. Específicamente, estudia cómo estos poemas resaltan en qué medida la devastación que provocó el huracán María en Puerto Rico en 2017 no debe atribuirse simple y simplistamente al poder de las fuerzas naturales, sino también a un desquilibrio profundo y sistémico en la relación entre seres humanos y la naturaleza, tanto en la isla como globalmente. Este desequilibrio ha contribuido a la intensificación de fenómenos como los huracanes—algo que la literatura científica sobre los efectos del calentamiento global antropogénico señala enfáticamente—y a los catastróficos efectos de estos eventos sobre las poblaciones más vulnerables del planeta. Más aún: el poemario muestra cómo, tras este tipo de desastres, los justificados intentos de asegurar la sobrevivencia y la prosperidad de diversas poblaciones—incluyendo las más vulnerables—frecuentemente implican la colaboración con un sistema económico, industrial y tecnológico que es cómplice del problema que se intenta resolver. En mi lectura, Huracanada es una invitación a transformar el paradigma del desarrollismo tecnológico-industrial que domina globalmente, y a sustituirlo por modelos sostenibles de subsistencia y comunidad.
The Sounds of the Desert: Lost Children Archive by Valeria Luiselli
Authors: Enriquez Emily
Published: November 2022

In this article, I examine Lost Children Archive, by Valeria Luiselli. I study the methods through which in the novel, sound becomes one of the main narrative tools to underscore the political, historical, and ecological facets of a complex biome that doubles as a border area. To this end, I focus on analyzing the projects carried out by two of the protagonists, which are an inventory of echoes and a sound documentary. Whereas the former attempts to record what is left from the soundscape that surrounded the last free Chiricahua Apaches, the latter intends to document the refugee children crisis in the context of the Mexico-US border. As I contend, through the inventory of echoes, the novel addresses colonization processes and draws attention to the environmental challenges faced by the Sonoran Desert. This is achieved because of two reasons. First, due to the centrality of the biome’s acoustic ecology. Second, because of the cultural and ecological components that accompany the repetition of the word “saguaro” in a section of the plot. In the case of the sound documentary, I analyze the methods through which this project highlights the weaponization of the desert against migrants. As I argue, this is achieved through a collection of acoustic shadows that appear in the form of radio waves, verbal reenactments, and an apocryphal book. Thus, the novel depicts the desert as a central device in border-control strategies and an ecosystem, or what I term a border biome, and as Native land.
DYNAMICS OF THE CONCENTRATION OF CHLOROPHYLL A AND B-PHYCOERYTHRIN IN CULTURE PORPHYRIDIUM PURPUREUM IN CONDITIONS OF LIGHT AND CARBON LIMITATION
Authors: Klochkova V. , Lelekov A. , Gudvilovich I.
Published: November 2022

The effect of light intensity and carbon flux on the production of chlorophyll a and B-phycoerythrin, as well as their ratios in the batch culture of Porphyridium purpureum, has been studied. It is shown that with an increase in light intensity (by 2 times) and air supply speed (by 2 times), the value of maximum productivity increases by almost 2 times, the concentration of chl a – by 1.8 times, and B-PE – by 1.6 times. The content of chlorophyll a and B-phycoerythrin in all experimental variants on the 3rd – 4th day of the experiment (the beginning of the linear growth phase) reached the maximum value. With light limiting, the content of chl a and B-PE in the biomass does not change, however, with high light intensity, a decrease is observed in the linear growth phase. The ratio of B-PE/chl a with different light and carbon support in the experiment practically does not change and averages 12.8.

Endüstriyel Anaerobik Reaktörler İçin Enerji Dönüşümünün Hızlandırılmasına Yönelik Bir Çalışma
Authors: KARA Ayhan , ŞENOL Halil
Published: November 2022

Yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarından biri olan biyogaz enerjisi Türkiye’de yeni gelişmekte olan bir sektör haline gelmiştir. Türkiye’de mevcut biyogaz reaktörleri genellikle sürekli tip reaktörler olup substrat olarak sığır gübresi (SG) kullanmaktadır. Yapılan araştırmalara göre SG’nin biyogaz verimi literatürdeki verimlerinden oldukça düşük değerde (50-100 ml/g uçucu katı (UKSG)) çıkmaktadır. Bu nedenle SG’nin verimini artırmaya yönelik olan bu çalışma yapılmıştır. Bu bağlamda SG’nin biyogaz verimi laboratuvar ölçekli 5L’lik bir reaktörde endüstriyel reaktörlerin en çok kullandığı çalışma sıcaklığında (35 °C) test edilmiştir. Bu reaktör kontrol reaktörü olarak belirlendikten sonra çözünür karbonhidrat, protein ve yağlardan arınmış ve çoğunlukla lignoselülozik içeren reaktör kalıntısına %4 m/m NaOH ön işlemi ve sonrasında katalitik metallerden olan nikel (Ni) ve kobalt (Co) farklı konsantrasyonlarda (50, 100 ve 150 µg/toplam katı SG) eklenmiştir. Bu sayede kontrol reaktörüne kıyasla, bu metallerin belirli konsantrasyonun eklenmesi ile hidrojenotrofik aktiviteyi uyarabilen ve biyogaz üretimini daha da artırabilen bir sonuçla (%36 - 47) karşılaşılmıştır. En iyi Ni ve Co konsantrasyonu için SG’nin en yüksek biyogaz verimi toplam 509,5 ± 19,9 ml/g UK olmuştur.

Introduction. According to foreign studies, the frequency of asymptomatic deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in the acute period of stroke varies from 10 to 75%, clinically obvious — from 2 to 10%. DVT is a life-threatening complication as it can lead to the development of pulmonary embolism (PE).

Purpose of the study: to identify predictors of DVT development in the lower extremities in patients with stroke according to the registry of the Regional Vascular Center (RVC).

Materials and methods. 100 patients with stroke who were admitted to the wards/intensive care unit of the RVC from November to December 2021 were examined. In addition to the standard examination, all patients underwent duplex scanning of the veins of the lower extremities upon admission and on the 7th day of inpatient treatment.

Results. The incidence of DVT was 13%. Compared with patients without DVT, patients with thrombosis were characterized by higher median values of age (77 vs 67 years, p = 0.015), time from stroke to hospital admission (24 vs 5 hours, p = 0.026), stroke severity by NIHSS score at admission (16 vs 5 points, p = 0.006) and completion of the first stage of treatment (10 vs 3 points, p = 0.010), movement disorders in the leg according to the Medical Research Council scale (4 vs 1 points, p = 0.011) and IMPROVE-VTE scales (4 vs 2 points, p < 0.001). In half of patients with DVT, thrombosis occurred already at admission to the hospital, in the rest it occurred during treatment. In a quarter of patients, thrombosis involved the proximal veins and was complicated by the development of PE in one patient, the rest had distal DVT. In all cases, DVT developed in the paretic limb. In all patients, thrombosis was initially regarded as asymptomatic and was diagnosed only by duplex scanning of the veins. The most significant risk factors for developing DVT in the acute period of stroke were age 64 years and over (OR = 8.1), stroke severity on the NIHSS scale at admission of 6 points and above (OR = 5.6), time to admission from 10 hours or more (OR = 3.8), leg strength not more than 3 points (OR = 4.5) and an IMPROVE-VTE score of 3 points or more (OR = 9.5). When building a logistic regression model using the identified risk factors, accuracy values were obtained equal to 83% and 85% for the training and test samples, respectively.

Conclusion. DVT is observed in 13% of patients in the acute period of stroke and is associated with the age of patients, the severity of stroke and movement disorders, the time from the development of symptoms to hospital admission, and the risk of venous thromboembolic complications according to the IMPROVE-VTE scale.

Despite the use of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), HIV-1 infection is often accompanied by the development of CNS disorders, including neurocognitive disorders. The use of etiologic therapy has successfully prevented many of the possible terminal complications of the disease, but as patient survival time increases, the prevalence of cognitive impairment among AIDS patients is increasing. Theclinical manifestations of these disorders can rapidly progress from subtle attention deficits and behavioral disorders to the development of dementia. Diagnosing neurocognitive impairment in HIV-infected patients is usually difficult and requires consistent diagnostic procedures from the clinician, including initial screening and, if necessary, neuropsychiatric testing and neuroimaging. Early diagnosis and correction of neurocognitive impairment in HIV-infected individuals with adequate antiretroviral therapy is essential for successful treatment. The review also considers the use of drugs for the prevention and treatment of neurocognitive impairment, taking into account the peculiarities of persistence of the pathogen in the nervous system and the capabilities of modern medicine. One of the most promising methods of supporting therapy for such disorders is the delivery of antiretroviral drugs using various nanosystems (polymeric nanoparticles, lipid nanoparticles, nanogels, magnetic particles).
Nutrition in the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers in stroke patients
Authors: Pogozheva A. V.
Published: November 2022

Stroke is one of the most important causes of mortality and disability of the population worldwide. In 16–20% of patients with acute stroke at admission, during hospitalization and rehabilitation, protein-energy deficiency, as well as micronutrient insufficiency is observed, which is associated with an unfavorable prognosis and the development of pressure ulcers. The widespread use of high-calorie mixtures for oral or probe enteral nutrition for such patients, containing increased amounts of protein, arginine, vitamins A, E, C and minerals (zinc and selenium) of an antioxidant orientation, can have a positive effect on the healing of pressure ulcers. The inclusion of specialized therapeutic mixtures in diet therapy can also potentially reduce the risk of developing pressure ulcers.

Objective Disruptive behavior disorder (DBD) adversely impacts children and adolescents. However, a comprehensive and cost-effective scale to assess DBD is lacking in Korea. Therefore, this study translated the Disruptive Behavior Disorders Rating Scale (DBDRS) into Korean and analyzed its psychometric properties.Methods Parents and primary caregivers of non-clinical (n=429) and clinical (n=28) children and adolescents aged 6–15 years were included in the analysis. Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted; further, concurrent validity and internal consistency were investigated using correlation analysis and Cronbach’s alpha, respectively. Furthermore, discriminative capacity was estimated using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis.Results The four-factor model of K-DBDRS showed good model fit indices and factor loadings, which supported the construct validity of the scale. Strong correlations between K-DBDRS and related measurements were observed, and a robust level of Cronbach’s alpha was confirmed (0.891–0.933). The discriminative capacity of the scale was good, based on the area under the curve values (0.933–0.953).Conclusion This study indicated that the K-DBDRS is an appropriate screening tool for Korean children and adolescents. Thus, this scale can be applied in clinical and community settings to identify children and adolescents with disruptive behavior disorders.

Objective Mood disorder and borderline personality pathology (BPP) are frequently comorbid and relate to childhood trauma. We investigated the relationship between childhood trauma and BPP features in mood disorder patients versus controls.Methods A total of 488 mood disorder patients, particularly major depressive disorder (MDD), bipolar I disorder (BD I), and bipolar II disorder (BD II), and 734 controls were included. We examined between-group BPP-related differences and correlated between BPP and childhood trauma using the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire-Short Form (CTQ) and the Personality Assessment Inventory–Borderline Features Scale.Results BD II patients showed significantly higher BPP. Emotional abuse and neglect were prominently associated with BPP, while affective instability and negative relationships exhibited a stronger association with childhood trauma. We also found a positive relationship between childhood trauma and BPP in MDD, BD I, and BD II patients.Conclusion The findings of the present study imply that BPP features are more likely to be found in patients with BD II than BD I or MDD. Mood disorder patients with severe childhood trauma may have higher BPP features. Thus, further study of the relationship between childhood trauma and BPP features could improve the therapeutic approaches and help understand patients with mood disorders.

Objective To identify the factors affecting anger in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) patients who underwent Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS) and Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2).Methods We retrospectively reviewed patients who underwent CAPS and MMPI-2 at Veteran Health Service Medical Center, Seoul, Korea. Based on the CAPS score, the patients were divided into the PTSD group (n=46) and the trauma exposed without PTSD group (n=29). After checking the correlation between anger, CAPS, and MMPI-2 scales, logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the risk factors for clinically relevant symptoms.Results The PTSD group showed significant differences in schizophrenia-related symptoms, ideas of persecution, aggressiveness, psychoticism, and anger scales compared to the trauma-exposed without PTSD group. There was a significant correlation between anger, CAPS, and MMPI-2 except masculinity/femininity, disconstraint, and MacAndrew Alcoholism-Revised. In particular, anger has been shown to have a substantial connection with paranoia, schizophrenia-related symptoms, ideas of persecution, aberrant experiences, and psychoticism. Multiple regression analysis identified that the only significant risk factor for anger was the negative emotionality/neuroticism scale (odds ratio=1.152, p<0.001).Conclusion The PTSD group had increased anger compared to the trauma-exposed without PTSD group, and that negative emotions may be a risk factor for PTSD.

Authors: Namise Daniel Kei , Rizzotto Carla Cândida
Published: November 2022

Em ao menos quatro ocasiões (uma live, dois encontros com apoiadores e uma palestra), Bolsonaro utilizou o termo arrobas para se referir a pessoas negras, justificando ter sido uma piada. Entendemos que esse tipo de humor agressivo e hostil contra determinados grupos tem sido utilizado como estratégia discursiva por atores políticos reacionários para afirmarem uma posição de dominação social. Em vista disso, esse artigo buscou analisar os discursos de Bolsonaro nas quatro ocasiões citadas. A partir do método sociocognitivo de Van Dijk, foi possível avaliar relações de poder e construções cognitivas presentes nas falas selecionadas, ao mesmo tempo, demonstrou-se como o humor pode ser utilizado como ferramenta de propagação ideológica e de dominação.

Background: Imbalance of testosterone/estradiol ratio are frequently reported to be associated with the risk of cardiometabolic diseases; however, studies have yet to report the testosterone/estradiol ratio and its relationship to cardiometabolic diseases in women at menopause transition. This study aimed to explore the association between testosterone/estradiol ratio with cardiometabolic diseases in women during their menopausal transition age. Methods: 551 women aged from 45 to 55 years old were involved in this study. Their baseline information, disease comorbidity, blood biochemical tests, echocardiography and serum sex hormones were collected. Women were categorized by tertile distribution of testosterone/estradiol ratio. We used binary logistic regression model (for odds ratio) and poissoon loglinear model (for prevalence ratio) to evaluate the association between testosterone/estradiol ratio with cardiometabolic diseases. Results: The mean age of the study population was 48.6 ± 3.5 years old. Taking testosterone/estradiol ratio <3.9 as reference, the odds ratio with 95% confidence interval across the tertile groups for obesity were: 1.0 (reference), 2.32 (0.96–5.64), 4.70 (1.75–12.67) (p for trend = 0.002); for hypertension were: 1.0 (reference), 2.37 (1.45–3.86), 2.02 (1.12–3.62) (p for trend = 0.013); for cardiometabolic diseases were: 1.0 (reference), 2.29 (1.47–3.56), 2.34 (1.37–3.99) (p for trend = 0.013), compared with the prevalence ratio of 1.0 (reference), 1.64 (1.26–2.15), 1.65 (1.21–2.23) (p for trend = 0.001), respectively. Conclusions: Higher testosterone/estradiol ratio was associated with elevated prevalence of cardiometabolic diseases in women at menopause transition period.

Published: November 2022

Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) has become one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide, and its incidence continues to increase because of an aging population. Studies have shown that the function of cardiomyocytes decreases during aging, leading to changes in the functional and structural integrity of the heart, ultimately resulting in CVD. The decrease in the number of functional cardiomyocytes has a negative impact on cardiac function; thus, myocardial aging is one of the main factors that causes heart-related diseases (such as CVD). Therefore, alleviating cardiac aging is one of the main ways of treating aging-related cardiac diseases. In this study, we evaluated the potential effect of taraxasterol on myocardial aging. Methods: The effect of taraxasterol on the aging of cardiomyocytes was analyzed in vivo and in vitro using a D-galactose treatment mouse model of cardiomyocyte senescence. Furthermore, the effect of taraxasterol on aging-induced desensitization of insulin signaling was also evaluated. Results: The experimental results indicated that taraxasterol could reduce cardiomyocyte senescence, which was evaluated using Sa-β-gal staining and senescence-related marker molecules (e.g., p16 and p21). We found that taraxasterol could significantly alleviate cardiomyocyte senescence in the in vitro cell model. Furthermore, we found that taraxasterol had the potential to alleviate cardiomyocyte senescence via the regulation of oxidative stress and inflammatory processes. Additionally, taraxasterol could relieve the desensitization of insulin signaling caused by aging. Finally, we showed that cardiovascular aging and fibrosis were alleviated by taraxasterol treatment in vivo. Conclusions: Taken together, this work illustrated that taraxasterol could reduce cardiac aging and fibrosis and enhance insulin signaling sensitivity, indicating that taraxasterol may be an effective drug or health food additive for treating cardiac aging and fibrosis.

Background Scrub typhus is a largely ignored tropical disease and a leading cause of undifferentiated febrile illness. It is caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi. Scrub Typhus is frequently observed in South Asian countries. However, clear epidemiological information of this disease is lacking in case of Nepal. Nepal has shown steady increase in cases of Scrub Typhus since 2015. The epidemiological data related to this disease would support the decision making and surveillance design for early outbreak detection and immediate responses including prevention and treatment of scrub typhus in Nepal.

Objective To understand prevalence of Scrub Typhus in subjects who had visited outpatient department at Dhulikhel Hospital.

Method In this study, we have studied antibody test data (n=784) for Scrub Typhus from 2019 to 2021. The tests were performed on serum samples of patients who had visited OPD at Dhulikhel Hospital with fever lasting more than 5 days. The kit used in analysis was Scrub Typhus Detect™ IgM ELISA Kit from InBios International.

Result Out of the total subjects (n=784), 133 were positive (16.9%) for IgM antibody of Scrub Typhus. The positivity in female (18.6%) was higher than the male subjects (15.3%). The positivity rate was variable among the different age groups, with highest positivity for age group 0-14 years (25%). The seasonal variation was also observed among the seropositive cases.

Conclusion Scrub Typhus being a neglected tropical disease has high prevalence. It can be postulated that female subjects and subjects of age group 0-14 years are vulnerable to the infection with Scrub Typhus. There is need to increase the surveillance of Scrub Typhus to add the knowledge for diagnosis and treatment.
