Published: April 2023

Objectives: This study aimed to pinpoint the universality of extracellular antimicrobial resistance elements (eAREs) and compare the contents of eAREs with those of intracellular AREs (iAREs) in animal feces, thus laying a foundation for the further analysis of the horizontal transfer of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) in the animal guts.
Materials and Methods: Extracellular DNAs were isolated from the fecal samples of Pavo cristatus (n = 18), Ursus thibetanus (n = 2), two breeds of broilers (n = 21 and 11, respectively), and from the contents of rabbit intestines (n = 5). eAREs were detected by PCR technology. iAREs in P. cristatus and broiler feces were also detected and compared with the corresponding eAREs. In addition, some gene cassettes of class 1 integrons were sequenced and analyzed.
Results: The results showed that eAREs exist in animal feces and intestinal contents. In this study, different eAREs were detected from animal feces and intestinal contents, and tetA, tetB, sul1, sul2, class 1 integron, and IncFIB presented the highest detection rates. The detection rates of certain eAREs were significantly higher than those of parallel iAREs. The integral cassettes with
intact structures were found in eAREs, and the cassettes carried ARGs.
Conclusions: The presented study here sheds light on the presence of eAREs in animal feces or guts, and eAREs may play an important role in the horizontal gene transfer of ARGs.

Published: April 2023

Eighteen months of family medicine residency training is completed as in-hospital rotation. In this process, the increase in the possibility of encountering risky situations in terms of hospital acquired infections (HAI) reveals the importance of awareness and immunization status for family medicine residents in preventing HAI. The aim of this study is to evaluate the risk status of family medicine residents about HAI, to investigate their immunization status, and to raise awareness on this issue. This study was conducted on 285 participants, including family medicine assistants who received residency training at Gülhane Training and Research Hospital between 01.08.2021 and 30.03.2022. In the 17-question survey made to the residents who accepted the study, demographic characteristics of the residents and some other information about the HAI were questioned. Afterwards, whether they encountered risky situations, periodic control examinations of the physicians, and their immunization status were questioned. Questions were asked in the form of a 5-point Likert-type table about the use of personal protective methods and their knowledge level about HAI. The answers given to the Likert type questions were scored as 1 worst and 5 as the best, and the total knowledge level score (minimum-maximum:15-75) was obtained. 180 (63.2%) of the participants were female, 196 (68.8%) were in the 24-29 age range. Of the participants, 99.3% (n=283) COVID-19, 96.5% (n=275) hepatitis B, 93.7% (n=267) tetanus, 39.6% (n=113) pneumococcus, 39.3% (n=112) influenza vaccine. The knowledge level score of female residents was higher (p=0.001). There was a significant difference between the age distribution of the participants and their knowledge level (p=0.033). According to this difference, the average knowledge level scores of the participants in the 24-29 age range were higher (p=0.047). It was determined that female residents HAI as a higher risk for family medicine residents (p=0.026). Participants who considered HAI as a risk for family medicine residents had a higher knowledge level (p=0.043). In our study, it was seen that HAI were evaluated as a risk by family medicine residents. On the other hand, the awareness and knowledge level of resident physicians on this issue was not considered sufficient. It was determined that some of the vaccines of the physicians were more careful with the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, it was observed that they did not pay due attention to the periodic health examinations. In order to increase the awareness of family medicine residents about HAI, lessons on infections that may be risky can be planned in the training curriculum. By ensuring regular periodic controls, physicians can be followed up in terms of occupational health risks. In case of encountering risky situations, the use of personal protective methods is encouraged and regular inspection is recommended.

Projection of the Atrocities on the Dalits
Authors: Chatterjee Dipankar
Published: April 2023

The present study of Premanand Gajvee’s A SIP OF WATER identifies the multiplicity of issues and challenges faced by Dalits in accessing water from common sources. On account of their social exclusion, Dalits suffer from physical as well as mental anguish. Discrimination against the Dalits is rampant on account of untouchability and physical abuse. Representative of Gajvee’s social concerns and caste preoccupations, this play is a scathing indictment of the inequalities that continue to prevail within the Hindu religion and Indian society. This paper also shows how the Dalits are used as just mere tools for the upper caste people’s political agenda as presented in this one-act play and, in the movie, ARTICLE 15.

BACKGROUND: TB control remains a serious public health problem, compounded by poor treatment adherence, which increases the likelihood of onward transmission. We evaluated the effectiveness of medication event reminder monitoring (MERM) upon treatment adherence in a high TB burden
setting.METHODS: We conducted an open-label parallel group randomised controlled trial among pulmonary TB adults. Participants were provided with a MERM device to store their medications. In the intervention arm, the devices were set to provide daily medication intake reminders.
Primary outcome was the proportion of patient-months in which at least 6/30 doses were missed. Secondary outcomes included 1) the proportion of patient-months in which at least 14/30 doses were missed, and 2) the proportion of doses missed.RESULTS: Of 2,142 patients screened, 798
(37.3%) met the inclusion criteria and 250 participants were enrolled. The mean ratio (MR) for poor adherence between the intervention and control groups was 0.72 (95% CI 0.55–0.86). The intervention was also associated with a reduction in the proportion of patients missing at least
14/30 doses (MR 0.61, 95% CI 0.54–0.68) and the percentage of total doses missed (MR 0.75, 95% CI 0.68–0.80).CONCLUSION: MERM is effective in improving TB treatment adherence in a resource-limited environment.

Authors: X. Wang  , J. Whitaker
Published: April 2023

With the advent of computing power and higher resolution CMOS sensor, imaging camera for mobile phone application has become very common in consumer portable product such as mobile phone, tablet or even wearable devices and head mount devices . Higher resolution image sensor, on the other hand, will suffer chromatic aberration (CA) where the colour channel appears shifted. Better lens design with more lens elements may be required. However, this will add more cost and manufacturing challenges. Many studies and methods have been proposed for CA correction through post image processing and those methods required calibration or post image process before correction factor can be applied. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm that will pre-defined the CA correction factor through lens design simulation.
Gap bowing of in Pb1-xCaxS, Pb1-xCaxSe and Pb1-xCaxTe alloys
Authors: R. Sahnoun
Published: April 2023

The ab initio full potential linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) method within density func­tional theory was applied to study the effect of composition on the structural and electronic properties of Pb1-xCaxS, Pbl-xCaxSe and Pb1-xCaxTe temary alloys. The effect of composition on lattice parameter, bulk modulus, band gap was investigated. Deviations of the lattice constant from Vegard's law and the bulk modulus from linear concentration dependence were observed for all three alloys. In addi­tion, the microscopic origins of compositional disorder were explained by using the approach of Zunger and co-workers. The disorder parameter (gap bowing) was found to be strong for the three alloys and was mainly caused by the chemical charge transfer effect. The volume deformation contributions for all alloys were also found to be significant, while the structural relaxation contributions to the gap bowing parameter were relatively smaller for all alloys.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and heavy metals (HMs) are predominant pollutants linked with anthropogenic activities across a host of environmental mediums. The level of pollution, ecological and health risk were assessed in surface water from Ekulu in Enugu metropolis, Nigeria for 17 PAHs and selected HMs (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb, Ni, Zn) components. PAHs and HMs were determined using a gas chromatography-flame ionization detector (GC-FID) and atomic adsorption spectrophotometer (AAS). The total PAHs in station A (3.17mg/l), B (1.51mg/l), and C (1.83mg/l) were due to high molecular weight (HMW) PAHs than low molecular weight (HMW) PAHs. HMs contents were within USEPA and WHO minimum contamination levels (MCL) except Cr and Pb. The molecular diagnostics of PAHs showed that incomplete combustion of carbonaceous compounds was dominant, while petrogenic was insignificant across all samples. The ecological indices of PAHs and HMs varied from medium to high pollution due to anthropogenic activities that pose a threat to the ecosystem. The non-carcinogenic models showed that hazard index (HI) ranged from PAHs (0.027 – 0.083) and HMs (0.0067 – 0.087) which is less than unity implying no adverse health issues. The lifetime cancer risk (LCR) for PAHs (4.21×10–4 – 9.61×10–4) and HMs (1.72×10–5 – 3.98×10–5) suggested significant cancer risk is possible over some time for a population of 1 in 10,000 and 100,000 for both PAHs and HMs exposure for 70 years. Therefore, there is an urgent need for proper pollution control and mitigation plan to preserve both age groups from being continuously exposed to anthropogenic activities in the Ekulu River and further study should be carried out to monitor the available toxicants.
Besieged cities: representations of the fear of death and illnesses in the pandemic of COVID-19 and the cartoons of the end of the Nineteenth Century in Brazil
Authors: Bandeira Élcia de Torres
Published: April 2023

The epidemics plagued Brazil in several periods of history, such as the end of the 19th century, and had a large effect on Revista Ilustrada, coordinated by the Italian-Brazilian cartoonist Ângelo Agostini. The fear of illnesses and death accompanies us throughout history and generates practices and representations associated with the historical context of the time. Today, the pandemic covid-19 reaps thousands of lives in Brazil and the world, and the way we appropriate the tragic reality leads us to produce representations that slip, in many cases, into scientific denialism and contribute to the fact that many lives are still lost by discourses and practices emptied of scientific foundation. Besieged, cities face the microscopic enemy with social distancing and basic hygiene health measures, while vaccination cannot immunize the majority of the Brazilian population. Love and empathy become lenient summing up the void left by the absence of sufficient vaccines or specific remedies against coronavirus to date, march 20, 2021. Previously closed windows are opened to provide the sight of the other. We will highlight in this article the relationship between feelings and their representative expressions related to the fear of death and illnesses in written and iconographic languages and seek to articulate them to the historical facts that served as a stage for its construction. Analyzing the practices and representations associated with public health and developing a comparative study between the epidemics of the late nineteenth century and the pandemic of the covid-19 becomes relevant to find realistic solutions that lead us safely to freedom, health, and the enjoyment of community life.

Colon carcinoma in an incarcerated inguinal hernia is an uncommon finding. Few cases are reported in the literature. It usually appears in the left inguinal hernias and includes part of the sigmoid colon. Palpation of a tumor in a previously non-existent hernia and the presence of bowel symptoms help with the diagnosis. An incarcerated inguinoscrotal hernia is noted as a mass in the inguinal and scrotal region, which cannot reduce spontaneously. It is more common in men, infants, and the elderly. The presence of an intermittent mass in the inguinal region is the classic picture of patients with hernia. If it evolves to incarceration, it may present vomiting, colic pain, abdominal distension, and stop in the elimination of feces and gases. The diagnosis of an incarcerated hernia is usually made through palpation on physical examination. However, in some cases, computed tomography of the abdomen with contrast is used, or even ultrasound of the entire abdomen. An inguinal hernia may surprise the surgeon at the time of surgery. The presence of the sigmoid colon, in an inguinal hernia, without associated alterations, is a rare entity, and alterations such as colon cancer or even sigmoid diverticular disease are usually found. A rare case is presented in which the hernial sac contains the sigmoid colon with the onset of ischemic suffering, culminating in a sigmoidectomy with lymphadenectomy and exteriorization of the proximal loop using the Hartman technique.

O Transtorno Compulsivo Alimentar Periódico (TCAP) se caracteriza pela ingestão de uma quantidade de alimentos maior do que outras pessoas consumiriam em circunstâncias parecidas. Durante os episódios dessa compulsão, o indivíduo come mais rápido do que o normal, além de comer até sentir-se “desconfortavelmente cheio”, mesmo não estando fisicamente com fome. O objetivo deste artigo consiste em analisar as principais abordagens da Terapia Cognitivo Comportamental (TCC) associadas às farmacológicas no tratamento do TCAP. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa de literatura relacionada às abordagens da TCC e terapias farmacológicas contribuintes no tratamento do TCAP. Foram incluídos artigos dentre o período de 2018 a 2023 nos idiomas inglês e português, também foram selecionados artigos que respondessem à pergunta norteadora e com melhor nível de evidência científica. Foram identificados 657 artigos. Posteriormente, foram selecionados 8 artigos após a aplicação dos filtros idiomas, temporal e texto completo. Os artigos excluídos foram aqueles que não correspondiam aos critérios de inclusão e que não abrangiam o tema de forma satisfatória. Desse modo, é notável há uma melhoria através da abordagem da Terapia Cognitivo-Comportamental associadas às Farmacológicas no Tratamento no Transtorno de Compulsão Alimentar Periódico. Entretanto, ainda é preciso de estudos multicêntricos com o intuito de esclarecer o papel da psicopatologia do transtorno alimentar e a melhor abordagem terapêutica, o que deve ser analisado em estudos futuros.
