The dividing line between gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and ordinary stripped-envelope core-collapse supernovae (SNe) is yet to be fully understood. Observationally mapping the variety of ejecta outcomes (ultrarelativistic, mildly relativistic, or nonrelativistic) in SNe of Type Ic with broad lines (Ic-BL) can provide a key test to stellar explosion models. However, this requires large samples of the rare SN Ic-BL events with follow-up observations in the radio, where fast ejecta can be probed largely free of geometry and viewing angle effects. Here, we present the results of a radio (and X-ray) follow-up campaign of 16 SNe Ic-BL detected by the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF). Our radio campaign resulted in four counterpart detections and 12 deep upper limits. None of the events in our sample is as relativistic as SN 1998bw and we constrain the fraction of SN 1998bw-like explosions to <19% (3σ Gaussian equivalent), a factor of ≈2 smaller than previously established. We exclude relativistic ejecta with radio luminosity densities in between ≈5 × 1027 erg s−1 Hz−1 and ≈1029 erg s−1 Hz−1 at t ≳ 20 days since explosion for ≈60% of the events in our sample. This shows that SNe Ic-BL similar to the GRB-associated SNe 1998bw, 2003lw, and 2010bh, or to the relativistic SNe 2009bb and iPTF17cw, are rare. Our results also exclude an association of the SNe Ic-BL in our sample with largely off-axis GRBs with energies E ≳ 1050 erg. The parameter space of SN 2006aj-like events (faint and fast-peaking radio emission) is, on the other hand, left largely unconstrained, and systematically exploring it represents a promising line of future research.
SN 2023ixf—Temporal Development of Hα Emission
Authors: Koenig M.
Published: August 2023

I present a series of spectra of the Type II supernova SN 2023ixf in M101 covering a temporal period of 6 weeks. The latest spectra show a prominent Hα P-Cygni profile with an expansion velocity of 7100 km s−1. In addition to an expanding gas shell, evidence of a possible additional absorption was found. This could be interpreted as an asymmetrical feature in the expanding material of the supernova.

Published: August 2023

We present a thermal observation of Callisto's leading hemisphere obtained using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array at 0.87 mm (343 GHz). The angular resolution achieved for this observation was ∼0.″16, which for Callisto at the time of this observation (D ∼ 1.″05) was equivalent to ∼six elements across the surface. Our disk-integrated brightness temperature of 116 ± 5 K (8.03 ± 0.40 Jy) is consistent with prior disk-integrated observations. Global surface properties were derived from the observation using a thermophysical model constrained by spacecraft data. We find that models parameterized by two thermal inertia components more accurately fit the data than single thermal inertia models. Our best-fit global parameters adopt a lower thermal inertia of 15–50 J m−2 K−1 s−1/2 and a higher thermal inertia component of 1200–2000 J m−2 K−1 s−1/2, with retrieved millimeter emissivities of 0.89–0.91. We identify several thermally anomalous regions, including spots ∼3 K colder than model predictions colocated with the Valhalla impact basin and a complex of craters in the southern hemisphere; this indicates the presence of materials possessing either a higher thermal inertia or a lower emissivity. A warm region confined to the midlatitudes in these leading hemisphere data may be indicative of regolith property changes due to exogenic sculpting.
Sexual Agency and Sexual Wrongs: A Dilemma for Consent Theory
Authors: Rees Melissa , Ichikawa Jonathan
Published: August 2023

On a version of consent theory that tempts many, predatory sexual relations involving significant power imbalances (e.g. between professors and students, adults and teenagers, or employers and employees) are wrong because they violate consent-centric norms. In particular, the wronged party is said to have been incapable of consenting to the predation, and the sexual wrong is located in the encounter’s nonconsensuality. Although we agree that these are sexual wrongs, we resist the idea that they are always nonconsensual. We argue instead that it is possible for students, teenagers, employees, etc. to fully consent to sexually predatory encounters; denying as much renders survivors of predation vulnerable to compounding harms. Survivors face a dilemma: give up either their understanding of their experience as wrong, or their self-conception as an agent capable of consenting. We call the latter phenomenon agential demotion. 
Anti-proliferative, anti-migration, and anti-invasion activity of novel hesperidin glycosides in non-small cell lung cancer A549 cells
Authors: Poomipark Natwadee , Chaisin Titaporn , Kaulpiboon Jarunee
Published: August 2023

Background and purpose:

Several attempts have been made to synthesize and investigate modified flavonoids to improve their potential anticancer efficacy. This study aimed to determine the in vitro anti-viability, anti-migration, and anti-invasive effects of two novel hesperidin glycosides, hesperidin glucoside (HG1) and hesperidin maltoside (HG2), compared to original hesperidin and diosmin.

Experimental approach:

Inhibitory effects on normal (MRC5) and cancer (A549) cell viability of hesperidin glycosides were investigated by the trypan blue and MTS assays. A scratch assay determined the suppressive effects on cancer cell migration, and inhibition of cancer cell invasion was investigated through Matrigel™. The selectivity index (SI), a marker of cell toxicity, was also determined for A549 relative to MRC5 cells.

Findings/Results:

The cell viability trypan blue and MTS assays showed similar results of the inhibition of A549 cancer cells; HG1 and HG2 had lower IC50 than original hesperidin and diosmin. The SI of HG1 and HG2 was > 2 after 72-h culture. Investigation of cell migration showed that HG1 and HG2 inhibited the ability of gap closure in a time- and dose-dependent manner. The infiltration of the Matrigel™-coated filter by A549 cells was suppressed in the presence of HG1 and HG2. This result implied that HG1 and HG2 could inhibit cancer cell invasion.

Conclusion and implication:

Our results suggest the inhibition of cancer cell migration and invasion in a time- and concentration-related manner with a favorable toxic profile. Moreover, HG1 and HG2 appeared potentially better agents than the original hesperidin for future anticancer development.

Published: August 2023

Background and purpose:

The use of fluoxetine raises the risk of pancreatic beta-cell dysfunction. However, the specific mechanism behind its mechanism of action in beta cells is unknown. This study investigated the cellular response of MIN6 cells to fluoxetine using untargeted cell-based metabolomics.

Experimental approach:

Metabolic profiling of MIN6 cells was performed using liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) analysis on samples prepared under optimized conditions, followed by principal component analysis, partial least squares-discriminant analysis, and pair-wise orthogonal projections to latent structures discriminant analyses.

Findings/Results:

Sixty-six metabolites that had been differentially expressed between the control and fluoxetine-treated groups demonstrated that the citric acid cycle is mainly perturbed by fluoxetine treatment.

Conclusion and implications:

The current study provides insights into the molecular mechanisms of fluoxetine effects in MIN6 cells.
Formulation and evaluation of taste-masked oral disintegrating tablet containing tolterodine-loaded montmorillonite
Authors: Taymouri Somayeh , Mostafavi Abolfazl , Talabaki Homa
Published: August 2023

Background and purpose:

The present study aimed to obtain a taste-masked oral disintegrating tablet (ODT) containing tolterodine tartrate (TT) intercalated into montmorillonite (MMT)

Experimental approach:

The TT-MMT hybrid was prepared by ion exchange reaction. The effect of the initial concentration of TT, MMT, temperature, and pH on the encapsulation efficiency (EE) % of the drug in MMT was evaluated. The selected TT-MMT hybrid was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transforms infrared (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Then, the optimized TT-MMT hybrid was incorporated in the ODT prepared by direct compression method and taste-masking assessment performed by a human test panel.

Findings/Results:

The EE% of TT was in the range of 22.67 to 71.06% in different formulations. It was found that increases in MMT concentration significantly increased EE%. DSC and XRD studies indicated that the TT was intercalated in the MMT interlayer space in an amorphous or molecular state. In-vitro release studies at pH 6.8 showed that the amount of the drug released from the TT-MMT hybrid was negligible for the first 3 min. The post-compression of ODT also showed satisfactory results in terms of friability, hardness, disintegration time, and taste.

Conclusion and implications:

MMT-ODT could be a suitable vehicle for the taste masking of TT, with the potential for use in patients with swallowing problems.
Werner syndrome or adult progeria
Authors: Sandhu Jasleen K. , Tuknayat Ankita
Published: August 2023

Werner syndrome, a premature aging disorder, is a rare cause of pseudoscleroderma and can present with a multitude of clinical features involving the skin, endocrine and cardiovascular systems. Although genetic, the disease has its onset in puberty and cutaneous features like graying of hair, atrophic sclerotic skin, recurrent ulcers, and dyspigmentation are the first to manifest. All these features usually mislead the clinician to make a diagnosis of systemic sclerosis. A similar case is being presented and the importance of differentiating these two disorders is being discussed.

Authors: El-Komy Mohamed H.M. , Sayed Khadiga S. , El-Desouky Eman D. , Tawfeek Esraa G. , Aboraia Nesreen M.
Published: August 2023

Background/objectives

The prevalence of psoriasis shows a worldwide geographic variation ranging from 0 up to 11.8%. This reflects the fact that psoriasis is a complex disease influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. The prevalence of psoriasis in children younger than 18 years of age was reported to be 0.40%; however, data about its true prevalence among children in Egypt and the Middle East region are scanty, especially among younger age groups living in rural areas. This work was performed to explore the prevalence and characteristics of psoriasis among a sample of preparatory school students in a rural community in Fayoum, Egypt.

Patients and methods

This cross-sectional study included 3061 preparatory school students with ages between 13 and 15 years from five rural public preparatory schools in Fayoum, Sinouris rural district. The demographic and disease-related data were collected by an assisted self-administrated questionnaire sheet. Clinical examination of all recruits was performed, and disease data for patients with psoriasis were recorded, including extent of the disease and psoriasis severity using the psoriasis area and severity index score.

Results

The prevalence of psoriasis was 0.1% among all of the examined students in the study, with a female-to-male ratio of 3 to 1. The most important triggering factor was changes in seasons and climate, as 50% of the patients worsened in winter. The extent and severity of psoriasis among affected children was mild.

Conclusion

The prevalence and genetic background of psoriasis was low with only mild forms of psoriasis identified among rural preparatory school students in Fayoum, Sinouris district.

Published: August 2023

Background:

Children with atopic dermatitis (AD) suffer from frequent flare-ups. Correct identification of allergens responsible for flare-ups is important in managing AD. Suspecting food allergens as culprits may result in unnecessary food restrictions which adversely affect the growth of these children. In view of this fact, we aimed to assess the allergen sensitization pattern of children with AD in Sri Lanka.

Objective:

The objective is to assess the food and aeroallergen sensitization pattern of children with AD.

Materials and Methods:

This study was conducted among 100 consecutive patients refereed to the dermatology clinics of a specialized children’s hospital and a tertiary care hospital with the clinical diagnosis of AD. Age ranged from 1 to 18 years. All underwent a Skin prick test (SPT), using prick test solutions for house dust mite Dermatophagoids pteronyssinus (HDM-DP), Aspergillus fumigatus (AF), cat epithelia (CE), cow’s milk (CM), egg white (EW), and peanut.

Results:

Of 100 patients 53.0% had positive SPT for HDM-DP. 15.0% were positive for CE, 9.0% positive for AF. All above three are aeroallergens, food allergen sensitivities were 9.0% for CM, 2.0% for EW, and 1.0% for peanuts. It is of note that the wheal size of HDM-DP SPT showed a very strong correlation with the age of the subject (R
2 = 0.0723, P = 0.007).

Conclusion:

Aeroallergen sensitization predominate over food allergen sensitization in children with AD. HDM and CE were the most common aeroallergen sensitivities. The wheal size of HDM-DP had a very strong positive correlation with age.

Published: August 2023

ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Oral health is defined as a state of being free of mouth and facial pain, oral infections and sores, and other diseases that limit an individual’s capacity for biting, chewing, smiling, speaking, and psychosocial well-being. This study assessed the knowledge, barriers, and facilitators of oral health knowledge among Pharmacists in Enugu, Nigeria.

Methods:

This was a cross-sectional study of 163 pharmacists in two tertiary hospitals in Enugu, South East, Nigeria. Data on sociodemographic profiles, knowledge of oral health care, barriers, and facilitators of oral health knowledge was collected. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 26 and P < 0.05 was considered significant.

Results:

There were more female 96 (58.9%) than male pharmacists 67 (41.1%). Their mean age was 32.98 ± 8.33 years. The majority of respondents, 56 (34.4%) graduated between 2010 and 2019, and 44 (27%) had additional qualifications. Many of the pharmacists 88 (54%) believed that oral health is part of general health. Also, 107 (65.6%) of the respondents had a good knowledge of oral health while 56 (34.4%) had poor knowledge. There was a significant association between academic qualification (P = 0.04) and having good knowledge of oral health care among pharmacists with those with additional qualifications having better knowledge than the others. Poor creation of oral health awareness by dentists 106 (65.0%) was considered as the main barrier to having good oral health knowledge by the pharmacists.

Conclusion:

More than half of the pharmacists had good knowledge of oral health and academic qualification was associated with having a good knowledge of oral health care among pharmacists in the study population.

Published: August 2023

Aim:

Cervical cancer is the fourth-most common cancer in women worldwide and ranks third among all the malignancies for women. In contrast to developed countries, cervical cancer is a public health problem in developing countries like India and accounts for a quarter of the global disease burden. It is also one of the leading causes of cancer mortality in India, accounting for 17% of all cancer deaths among women aged between 30 and 69 years. The aim of this study is to perform a demographic analysis of cervical cancer by using Papanicolaou (PAP) test as a screening modality in Doddaballapur, rural Bengaluru, Karnataka.

Materials and Methods:

A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on cervical cancer screening utilizing PAP smear screening. Camps were organized in Doddaballapur, rural Bengaluru, organized by Non-Profit Organization, Sahaya Hastha Trust between December 2017 and 2018. The PAP smears were stained and evaluated for epithelial cell abnormality using Bethesda System criteria free of cost at The Oxford Medical College and Hospital, Bengaluru.

Results:

A total of 647 patients were evaluated in this prospective study and abnormal epithelial cell abnormalities (ECA) were observed in 24 (3.7%) cases. Among the 24 cases, 2 cases (8.3%) of squamous cell carcinoma, 11 cases (45.8%) of atypical squamous cell of undetermined significance, 5 cases (20.8%) of Atypical Squamous cells - cannot rule out high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL), 3 cases (12.5%) of low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (3), 2 cases (8.3%) of high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL), and a single case (4.2%) of atypical glandular cells of undetermined significance were noted. Of the remaining 623 smears (96.2%) diagnosed with negative for intraepithelial lesion or malignancy, 428 cases (68.7%) were reported as nonspecific inflammation, while 56 smears (8.9%) showed atrophic smears and 20 cases (3.1%) were unsatisfactory for evaluation. 119 cases (19.1%) displayed a specific infectious etiology; coccobacilli (bacterial vaginosis) being the most common 66 cases (55.5%), followed by Trichomonas vaginalis 46 cases (38.6%) and Candida infection has 7 cases (5.8%).

Conclusions:

In Dodabullapur, a rural Bengaluru suburb, 3.7% of cervical cancer patients had ECA. It is hypothesized that a low-cost screening program is exceptionally beneficial in lowering the disease burden of cervical cancer, especially among middle-aged women and those living in low-income areas. This humanitarian purpose might motivate women in rural regions to be educated with the sole goal of uplifting the impoverished.

Osmanlı Devleti’nde kaleler sınır ve iç bölgelerdeki kaleler olmak üzere ikiye ayrılır. Babakale, bölgenin korsan ve eşkıyadan temizlenerek güvenliğinin sağlanması amacıyla inşa edilen bir iç bölge kalesidir. Babakale Kaymak Mustafa Paşa tarafından yaptırılmıştır. Kale yapı malzemeleri bölgeden karşılanmış ve yapımında bölge ahalisi çalıştırılmıştır. Bir iç kale niteliğinde küçük ve sade bir yapı olan Babakale’nin inşası kısa süre içerisinde tamamlanmıştır. Nisan 1727 tarihinde başlayan kale inşası, 1728 yılı yaz aylarında sona ermiştir. Kale yapıldıktan sonra bölgedeki korsanlık faaliyetleri sona ermiştir. Kale pek çok teftiş ve onarım geçirmiştir. Zamanla kale yanında bir köy yerleşimi de oluşmuştur. 1839 yılında Babakale’de yaklaşık 1000, yüzyıl sonunda ise 3000 kişi yaşamaktaydı. Kaledeki askeri personelin temel ihtiyaçlarını karşılamak üzere köyde bir çarşı da yapılmıştır. Köyde 1839’da 33, 1840’ta 26, 1845 yılında ise 25 kişi esnaflık ve ticaret yapmaktaydı. Köyde en yoğun yapılan meslek bıçakçılıktı. Babakale’de bir liman, iki cami, iki hamam ve beş çeşme bulunuyordu. Köyde tahıl ve zeytinyağı üretimi yanında bağcılık önemli bir yere sahipti.

This article presents an exhaustive systematic review of the medical literature focused on the detailed analysis of ureter injuries. Injuries to this anatomical conduit, which connects the kidneys to the bladder, can arise as a consequence of various causes, such as abdominal surgeries, trauma, gynecological and urological procedures, among others. The aim of this study is to provide a comprehensive and updated view of the etiology, epidemiology, classification, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment options for ureteral injuries. During the investigation, numerous scientific articles, case reports, and retrospective studies were extensively reviewed, with particular focus on identifying the risk factors associated with these lesions. Also highlighted were the various diagnostic approaches and imaging tools, including computed tomography (CT), retrograde urography, cystoscopy, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which are critical for the accurate diagnosis and extensive evaluation of ureter injuries. Significant differences in treatment options were observed, depending on the severity and location of the lesions, with endourological and laparoscopic techniques being the preferred options for milder cases, while complex reconstructive surgeries are reserved for more extensive and complex lesions. Innovative surgical techniques, including ureteral anastomosis, tissue grafting and the use of ureteral stents, are addressed with the goal of optimally restoring ureteral function and structure. This systematic review highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in the management of ureteral injuries, involving urologists, general surgeons, gynecologists and radiologists, to ensure timely diagnosis and effective treatment. Furthermore, the relevance of prevention and early identification of ureteral injuries is emphasized, with the purpose of minimizing complications and improving long-term clinical outcomes. In conclusion, this research provides a valuable source of information for the medical and surgical community, promoting a better understanding and comprehensive management of ureteral injuries.
