Molecular detection and gene expression of carbapenemase (blakpc) encoding gene of Klebsiella pneumonae isolated from clinical samples.
Authors: Kadhim Mohammed Rana , Salman Karam D. , Tawfeeq Heba K.
Published: July 2023

Background: Klebsiella pneumonia carbapenemases (blakpc) can hydrolyze carbapenems, which cause many bacteria resistance to multiple classes of antibiotics, so the rapid spread of blakpc is concerning. Laboratory identification of blakpc-carrying clinical isolates would be critical in limiting the bacteria's spread. This study would look at a quick and low-cost real-time PCR assay for detecting the level of expression of the black gene from Klebsiella pneumonia before and after being treated with a specific concentration of the Meropenemas drug. Method: From January 2021 to March 2021, Twenty-three K. pneumoniae strains were collected from patients presenting at various hospitals in Baghdad, Iraq. The disk diffusion method was used to test the strains, and the E-test minimum inhibitory concentration was determined (MIC). The black gene was then identified using the reverse transcription-PCR method. Finally, gene expression was measured using a real-time PCR assay in the presence and absence of Meropenem antibiotics. Results: Phenotypic testing revealed a high level of antibiotic resistance, whereas genotypic methods revealed the presence and expression of carbapenemase gene. Conclusion: The findings suggest revisions to current antibiotic therapy protocols due to the high expression level of resistant carbapenemases in K. pneumoniae strains.

The Impact of Improving Element Quality on the Comprehensive Production Capacity of Grain: Evidence from High-standard Farmland Construction
Authors: Xuetao Sun , Yu Zhao
Published: July 2023

The overall efficiency of grain production in China is relatively low,
and how to change the current situation of low grain production
efficiency has become the key to the high-quality development of grain.
The high-standard farmland construction provides a new path for
improving Total factor productivity of grain by filling the gaps in
grain production. This paper is based on grain sector data from 281
cities in China and uses the Meta-Malmquist index to calculate the Total
factor productivity of grain; And the SARAR model was used to analyze
the impact of high-standard farmland construction on Total factor
productivity of grain. There is room for improvement in Total factor
productivity of grain, and the impact of technological efficiency on
Total factor productivity of grain is greater than the impact of
technological progress, and the Total factor productivity of grain in
the eastern region is significantly higher than the central and western
regions. The high-standard farmland construction can significantly
improve the Total factor productivity of grain. Compared with the
advancement of grain technology, the high-standard farmland construction
can better improve the efficiency of grain technology.

AbstractObjective: The aim of this study was to
determine the incidence and risk factors for pharyngocutaneous fistula
(PCF) in patients undergoing total laryngectomy (TL) at a single
institution. Design: Retrospective analysis the symptoms and
risk factors for pharyngocutaneous fistula after total laryngectomy in a
general hospital from 2011 to 2021. Results: PCF occurred in 27
patients (20.0%, 27/135). In medical history, neck dissection
(OR=6.202; 95% CI 2.204-17.453; [P=0.001]) and BMI (OR=1.284;
95%CI 1.096-1.504; [P=0.002]) were associated with the occurrence
of PCF. In the preoperative experimental examination, ALP (OR=1.075;
95%CI 1.032-1.12; [P=0.001]) and LY% (OR=1.186; 95%CI
1.063-1.322; [P=0.002]. Factors commonly associated with PCF, such
as age, male gender, preoperative radiotherapy, low hemoglobin, smoking
and inflammatory markers, were not statistically significant in this
study. Conclusion: Our data portray the primary factors as a
patient’s BMI is greater than 19.38, an LY% greater than 30.05, and an
ALP greater than 78.5 and neck dissection were associated with an
increased risk of PCF. This study shows a critical balance in adjusting
the sensitivity and specificity of guidelines to improve patient
outcomes.

Paul Christie: A Life in the Theatre
Authors: Malone Toby
Published: July 2023

[Para. 2]: "On October 21, 2021, Joseph Paul Christie—Paul to his many friends—passed away peacefully at home. Paul lived a long and joyous life, from his youth in Toronto to adventures in London as a bookseller and a distinguished career as a court reporter with the Ministry of the Ontario Attorney General, but one of his many defining traits was his love of the arts. For the last thirty years of his life, Paul served as a front of house team member (to over-simplify, we might say ‘usher’) at theatres around Toronto, most notably the Elgin and Winter Garden Theatres. From this insider’s position, Paul saw as much theatre as he could. His theatregoing career stretched back to boyhood, and lasted until he literally could not see any more plays, as the COVID-19 pandemic closed theatres in the spring of 2020. After Paul’s passing, the Toronto Metropolitan University Archives and Special Collections were honoured to receive a gift commemorating a life in the theatre. In dozens of carefully curated binders, we were presented every programme (and ticket stub, and clipping, and souvenir postcard) that Paul Christie collected over the course of sixty-eight years, filed chronologically and with extensive annotation to create the Paul Christie Theatre Program Collection reflecting a lifetime in the arts."

Published: July 2023

Introduction

Intraosseous (IO) catheterization enables rapid access to systemic circulation in critical patients. A battery-powered IO device (BPIO) utilized in veterinary practice is reliable in facilitating IO catheter placement. A new spring-powered IO device (SPIO) has been developed for people but has not been tested in veterinary patients. The goal of our study was to compare placement characteristics and flow rates achieved with the BPIO compared to the SPIO in animals when operated by novice users.

Methods

Six veterinary students performed 72 catheterizations in the humeri and tibias of 12 dog and 6 cat cadavers. The user, cadaver, device, and site of placement were randomized. Flow rates were determined by three-minute infusions.

Results

In dogs, overall success rates (50% BPIO, 46% SPIO; p = 0.775) and flow rates based on location were similar between devices. Successful placement was faster on average with the BPIO (34.4 s for BPIO and 55.0 s for SPIO, p = 0.0392). However, time to successful placement between devices was not statistically significant based on location (humerus: 34.7 s for BPIO and 43.1 s for SPIO, p = 0.3329; tibia: 33.3 s for BPIO and 132.6 s for SPIO, p = 0.1153). In cats, success rates were similar between devices (16.7% for BPIO and 16.7% for SPIO, p = 1.000), but limited successful placements prevented further analysis.

Discussion

This is the first study to examine the use of the SPIO in animals, providing preliminary data for future IO studies and potential applications for training in the clinical setting.
Biblical World View and Medical Ethics: on the Reproductive Ethics
Authors: KIM Sang-deug
Published: July 2023

The theme of ‘Christianity and medical ethics’ can be studied from various perspectives. However, I will discuss it from a point of biblical world view, focusing on the reproductive ethics. According to the biblical world view, God created the world and the rest of His creatures in it, so the structure of the world is originally good. Creatures can be directed into two ways ; God or idols.
As Jesus cured many diseases, curing people using medicine is not contrary to God's will. Especially assisted reproductive technologies such as IVF enable sterile couples to be pregnant. But the Bible says that human life belongs to the sovereignty of God. Children are to be viewed as a divine gift not a narcissistic means of self-definition. From the biblical perspective, sexual differentiation and the place of childbearing within the matrix of monogamous heterosexual marriage is normative. So human cloning, artificial insemination of donor, surrogate mother and other reproductive technologies are regarded as playing God. Human beings are free. But man’s freedom is within God’s law. Assisted reproductive technologies are morally permissible unless they break the order of marriage, family and marital relation. IVF or artificial insemination, using the gametes of a husband and his wife, is morally permissible, for it does not violate this order.
But it brings out the problem of moral standing of pre-embryo. For many embryos are made just for one fertilized egg to succeed in becoming implanted on the uterus of woman. Rest of the spare embryos are usually destroyed or experimented for research purposes. From the biblical perspective, the existence of human being begins from the moment of fertilization. Human being itself is imago Dei. That is, a pre-embryo has sufficient moral standing. However, IVF or artificial insemination of a married couple is beneficient to infertile couples. Jesus commands us, "Love your neighbor". If we accept the principle of double effects, it is morally permissible for us as Christians to use assisted reproductive technologies such as IVF or artificial insemination only within the order of marriage and family. Finally, Christian ethics and pastoral caring, though intimately correlated, can be separated and should be so. Pastoral caring is grounded on the grace of God.

Authors: Haniffa Mohamed Ali , Mohamad Ayu Nor Azilah , Hajimia Hafizah
Published: July 2023

This paper discusses the negotiation and understanding efforts undertaken by the Malay Rulers, British administration and the Chinese community in restoring racial harmony after the Japanese occupation in Malaya. The official British intervention policy in Malaya since 1874, the Japanese occupation and the communist oppression have triggered dissatisfaction among the racial groups, resulting in inter-racial clash. This article provides an overview of the British administration, the Japanese occupation and the communists. The discussion was also focused on the process of negotiation and understanding following the outbreak of inter-racial clashes after the Japanese occupation. Various efforts were made by the Sultan, the Malay rulers, and intellectuals to restore inter-racial relations. The Race Relation's Committee, which was formed, played an important role in quelling hostilities between Malays and Chinese and restoring harmony. The discussion in this article is based on library research methods involving records from the British Colonial Office, archival files and secondary sources. The research findings indicates that the racial compromise was successful in restoring racial harmony in Malaya after World War II. This effort is also significant as a pioneer towards national independence.

Published: July 2023

La crise sociopolitique en Côte d'Ivoire de 2002 à 2010 a gravement endommagé son système éducatif. Cette agitation a été exacerbée dans les anciennes zones assiégées (Centre, Nord, Ouest), où les écoles ont été intégrées par une nouvelle forme de violence qui a miné le système éducatif ivoirien : la violence en milieu scolaire qui survient aux veilles de congés. Dans l’intérêt de saisir son évolution et les transformations subies, cette étude dont le thème est : « congés scolaires et éruptions de violence dans les écoles ivoiriennes : cas de Bouaké » est le fruit d’une investigation sociologique visant à proposer des solutions à ce phénomène majeur qui prend des proportions inquiétantes car les élèves s’adonnent à la violence de tout genre en se formant en groupes organisés. Le contenu de ce document est le fruit d’une analyse qualitative. Nous nous sommes évertués à comprendre les réelles motivations qui animent les élèves de Bouaké à pratiquer ce type de violence en milieu scolaire.Les résultats présentent i) les violences qui surviennent à la veille des congés scolaires, qui mettent en évidence ii) le rapport que les porteurs des violences scolaires entretiennent avec la notion de « congés scolaires », d’une part, et, d’autre part iii) les défis qui se posent à l’institution scolaire face à ce nouveau type de violence scolaire.

Relationship Between Nutrition Status (MNA) and Fall Risk (FRQ) in Elderly Patients
Authors: Hazmi Sinulingga Muhammad , Ariestine Dina Aprillia , Purba Ariantho Sidasuha
Published: July 2023

Background: The process of getting older causes a decrease in physical abilities so that it can trigger an increased risk of falling in the elderly, especially in hospitals. The incidence of falls in the elderly results in a decrease in physical activity and independence of the elderly. Malnutrition in the elderly is one of the causes of high morbidity and hospitalization rates, but malnutrition often goes undetected. To find out the nutritional status of the elderly, you can use the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) which is considered to have a reliable scale and clear boundaries.Fall incident may be caused by disease, inactivity, inadequate nutritional intake, repeated hospitalizations, poor dental hygiene and/or physiological changes such as decreased metabolic rate. The Fall Risk Questionnaire (FRQ) is a tool for assessing the risk of falling in the elderly. Research on the relationship between the risk of falling and the nutritional status of elderly patients is still rare.
Objective: To find out the relationship between nutritional status and the risk of falling in the elderly in Medan City in 2023.
Research Methods: This study used a cross sectional design. The research subjects used were the elderly who went to Padang Bulan Village in January 2023 – June 2023 and met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The minimum number of samples is 90 people. The study was conducted by distributing the MNA and FRQ questionnaires to the sample. To determine the relationship between nutritional status and the risk of falling in the elderly in the city of Medan, the Fisher's exact test was used and continued with the Somer's D directional test.
Results: Of the 90 samples, the youngest was 60 years old and the oldest was 90 years with an average age of 65.31 years. Age dominance was found in the age range of 60-70 years as many as 77 people. The smallest body weight is 37.8 kg and the largest is 86.1 kg with an average body weight of 62.08 kg. The shortest height is 133cm and the highest is 171cm with an average sample height of 151.79cm. The smallest BMI is 19.23 and the largest is 34.93 with an average BMI of 26.90. The nutritional status of the sample was found to be normal in 55 people, 6 people at risk of malnutrition and 29 people with malnutrition. The risk of falling in the sample found a low risk of 65 people and a high risk of 25 people. Found a significant relationship between nutritional status and the risk of falling in elderly patients with a value of p = 0.
Conclusion: There is a relationship between nutritional status and the risk of falling in elderly patients with a low relationship category range. Decreased nutritional status will increase the risk of falling in the elderly

Perasaan cemas biasanya muncul apabila individu berada dalam suatu keadaan yang dirasa akan merugikan dan mengancam diri individu pada saat individu merasa tidak berdaya menghadapinya. Kemudian apa yang dicemaskan belum tentu terjadi sehingga perasaan cemas itu sebenarnya ketakutan yang diciptakan oleh individu sendiri. Kondisi kecemasan telah melanda berbagai sendi kehidupan, seperti halnya kecemasan yang dialami oleh istri seorang prajurit TNI-AD. Tujuan penelitian ini ialah menggambarkan kecemasan yang dialami oleh istri Prajurit TNI-AD di Asrama Militer Yonif 511 Kota Blitar pada saat ditinggal suami bertugas ke Merauke. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan desain penelitian fenomenologi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa gambaran kecemasan masing-masing istri TNI-AD yang ditinggal oleh suami Satgas berbeda-beda. Hal tersebut disebabkan karena kondisi tempat Satgas yang tidak sama, faktor terbiasa karena sudah pernah ditinggal Satgas untuk beberapa kali dan ada yang baru pertama kalinya ditinggal Satgas oleh suami, dan juga penyesuaian diri masing-masing istri TNI-AD terhadap kebijakan yang telah ditetapkan oleh atasan yang harus ditaati.

El cacao es uno de los principales productos de exportación del Ecuador, siendo la variedad Nacional la que dio a conocer al país en el mercado mundial por su aroma. Sin embargo, el manejo agronómico actual del cultivo no ha permitido que se desarrolle adecuadamente y que se obtenga el rendimiento potencial de la variedad. La utilización de inóculo de hongos micorrízicos arbusculares (HMA) podría ayudar a la absorción de nutrientes indispensables para las plantas, a proporcionar mayor resistencia a plagas y a reducir la toxicidad de metales pesados. El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo probar dos cantidades de esporas de HMA (17 600 y 35 200) en diferentes momentos de aplicación (una sola aplicación, aplicaciones mensuales y aplicaciones trimestrales) sobre las plantas de cacao Nacional en etapa productiva en la provincia de Zamora Chinchipe, Ecuador. Se estableció un diseño completamente al azar, con 7 tratamientos (en la que se incluye un control) y 4 repeticiones por tratamiento. Se evaluó: número de flores y cuajado, frutos por planta, característica de frutos y semillas, sanidad del fruto, producción y rendimiento. No se encontró una influencia de los tratamientos en el número de flores por planta, porcentaje de cuajado del fruto, número de frutos e índice de mazorca, pero sí en el peso de frutos y semillas, longitud y diámetro de frutos, número de semillas por fruto, producción y rendimiento. Las aplicaciones mensuales de 17 600 esporas de HMA presentaron los valores más altos en todas las variables. Por lo tanto, la aplicación de HMA podría contribuir a mejorar la producción de cacao en la Amazonía ecuatoriana, y ser utilizada como estrategia de manejo orgánico del cultivo.

Published: July 2023

Giant cell tumours of bone are typically benign tumours composed of mononuclear and multinucleated giant cells that are osteoclastically active. They typically develop in long bones but can also appear in unexpected locations. In this case report, a 36-year-old man presented to the orthopaedic OPD with complaints of right heel pain and swelling. The swelling was firm, painful, and adhered to the calcaneus. Radiographs revealed a well-defined, expansile, lytic lesion of the calcaneus with no extraosseous dissemination. After surgery, tissue was sent for histopathological examination, which showed multinucleated giant cells amid numerous mononuclear stromal cells, raising the possibility of a giant cell tumour. During anaesthesia, the bony recess was corrected and filled with bone cement. Patient was ambulatory after three months of the procedure and showed no clinical and radiographic evidence of recurrence even after two years of follow up. Aggressive characteristics of giant cell tumours can include cortical growth or destruction with a soft tissue component. In certain instances, fluid-filled levels suggestive of subsequent aneurysmal bone cyst development are also visible. Since there are no clinical, radiological, or histological factors that allow one to precisely anticipate the trend of a single lesion to recur or to metastasize, treating bone giant cell tumours remains difficult. Therefore, the surgeon must be well-informed and complete a thorough preoperative work up, including a biopsy, before moving forward with the lesion’s final therapy. Early intervention is required due to its potential local aggression. Regular follow-up with the patient is necessary to spot any early signs of metastasis or recurrence.

Productivity of Maize in Central African Republic (CAR) is further reduced by the invasion of Fall Armyworm. The use of developing genetic resistance in maize against the pest remains under-explored. This present study was conducted to determine the effects of radiation on maize growth and development. The test with diffrents doses of irradiation (Controls, 100 Gy, 200 Gy, 300 Gy, 400 Gy and 500 Gy) was performed on three varieties (CMS85 01, CMS-20 19 and CMS87 04) of maize and on the local ecotype of CAR.

The effect of varieties and differences doses on the growth parameters (plant survival, number of leaves, length of leaves, larger of leaves, Plant height diameter of collet,) and yield parameters (number of cobs, number of rows per cob, numbers of grain par cob) was performed using ANOVA 2 with R software version 3.1.3. The Shapiro-Wilk test to normalize the data and and differences tests using a significance level of 0.05. The Principal Analysis of Component was used to analyse the relationships between the growth parameters and yield parameters of in different treatments.

Few number of leaves are observed from local ecotypes than the all varieties, fellowing by CMS 2019 with exception from dose 400 Gy. The two others varieties respectfully CMS 8501 et CMS 8704 have sensibly equal number of leaves. Statistically, the significant difference (P-value= 4.363e-05) was observed between differentes varieties according the differentes doses of iradiation (P-value= 6.665e-16).

The height from differentes varieties according the differentes doses are equal, exception the dose 400Gy of CMS 2019. Statistically, the difference observe dis not significative. But, the height of 400 Gy from the variety CMS 2019 is less important than the rest of doses from others varieties.

The most less quantity of grains (228) was obtained from the CMS 2019 variety at 400Gy and the most important quantity (2040) from the same variety at 300 Gy. produced the most less number of rows per cob. The CMS 8704 variety at 100 Gy produced the most important number of rows per cob.

Statistically, there is the significant difference according to the maize varieties (P-valu= 0.0014874) and the differentes doses of iradiation (P-value= 0.865586).
