This study aimed to systematically evaluate the evidence respecting the association of risk factors for the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD) among patients with diabetes and hypertension (HTN). Articles were searched from 2015 to 2022 through PubMed, MEDLINE, and Embase. The inclusion criteria included risk factors such as hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), blood pressure measurement, body mass index, determining the glomerular filtration rate(GER), and blood lipid profile in patients with HTN and diabetes. The quality of the study was assessed by assessment Newcastle-Ottawa scale (NOS). After thorough research, only seven out of 170 articles were selected. The systolic blood pressure (SBP) and GER were calculated. All studies' quality was good under the NOS criteria. Generally, high HbA1c: 138 mmHg, high or low GFR: >60 ml/minute/1.75 m2), and increasing SBP (SBP from 120 to 139 to ≥140 mmHg) are great risk factors for CVD among diabetes and HTN patients. No data on blood lipid profile and body mass index was available among the selected studies. It was concluded that relatively well-controlled HTN and diabetes might reduce the risk factors for the development of CVD.

Published: September 2023

Background: Hemoglobinopathies are prevalent in Saudi Arabia. The use of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for screening of these disorders has recently been undertaken. This study was conducted to estimate the prevalence of hemoglobinopathies and evaluate the role of premarital screening centers among residents of Al Baha province, Saudi Arabia.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study utilized the laboratory reports of couples attending the premarital screening centers for the screening and confirmation of hemoglobinopathies in Al Baha province, Saudi Arabia. We obtained data from four hospitals and three primary healthcare centers authorized to perform these screening tests.
Results: The current study screened and analyzed a total of 2,165 reports for suspected hemoglobinopathies. Only 121 (5.6%) reports showed abnormal hemoglobin (Hb) patterns, among which the sickle cell trait was the most common, representing 59.5% (72/121) of the reported cases. This was followed by the β-thalassemia trait, Hb Lepore, sickle cell disease, and β-thalassemia major, accounting for 32.2% (39/121), 3.3% (4/121), 2.5% (3/121), and 2.5% (3/121), respectively.
Conclusion: Sickle cell and β-thalassemia traits are the major hemoglobinopathies in Al Baha, Saudi Arabia. Premarital screening is an invaluable measure to prevent childbirth with severe Hb disorders. The use of HPLC in the screening process provides a rapid, reliable procedure for the identification of various Hb fractions.
Pethidine-related neurotoxicity in pediatric sickle cell disease: a systematic review
Authors: Almasoud Khaled , Aldaghmi Atheer , Alahmed Amna , Alzamanan Mansour , Majrashi Ali
Published: September 2023

Sickle cell disease describes a set of related blood disorders that result from defective production of hemoglobin that causes rigid fibers to form in the red blood cells, bending them into a characteristic sickle shape. These misshapen blood cells are then prone to becoming lodged in smaller blood vessels, resulting in a vaso-occlusive crisis, which can be very painful. Rapid and potent analgesia is crucial in the care of patients presenting with sickle cell crisis, and opioid analgesics, such as pethidine and morphine, have been the mainstay of treatment for decades. However, there are reports in the literature of seizures associated with pethidine use, particularly if used for more than a few days or in patients with kidney disease. A systematic review of the literature was conducted to identify any case reports or studies of the use of pethidine in children presenting with painful sickle cell crisis with a specific focus on the prevalence of seizures in this patient group. The pharmacology and pharmacokinetics of pethidine and its active metabolite norpethidine are briefly explored, along with alternative analgesic approaches, both pharmacological and nonpharmacological.

Authors: Ogbo Patricia U. , Obeka Ifeyinwa C. , Ayeni Foluke A. , Asiegbu Uzoma V. , Ewah Richard L. , Okonkwo Chioma A.
Published: September 2023

Objectives:

Upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs) are the most common acute RTIs that occur in children. Therapy addressing symptoms is recommended for URTI management. The use of antibiotics without culture and sensitivity tests is a risk factor for antimicrobial resistance.

Materials and Methods:

This study was set to assess the pharmacological management of URTIs in children from a tertiary institution practice. This study was conducted in Alex Ekwueme Federal University Teaching Hospital, Abakaliki Ebonyi State, Nigeria. It was a retrospective review of 275 prescriptions of medicines for URTIs in children, from January to December 2021. A systematic sampling technique was used to collect data. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 28.0.

Results:

Of the 275 sampled URTI cases, 157 (57.1%) occurred in male children. No laboratory test was conducted for 265 (96.4%) cases. The majority (207; 75.3%) were diagnosed as non-specific URTI. Other diagnoses include tonsillitis (46; 16.7%), otitis media (8; 2.9%), and rhinitis (6; 2.2%) among others. Antibiotics were the most prescribed medications, (212; 77.1%) followed by antihistamines, (110; 40.0%), vitamins (75; 27.3%), and antimalarials (55; 20.0%). The most prescribed antibiotic was amoxicillin-clavulanic acid (79; 28.7%). There was no statistically significant association between the age category of children and the number of medicines prescribed, whether antibiotics were prescribed, and the number of antibiotics prescribed (P > 0.05).

Conclusion:

Antibiotics were the mainstay for the management of URTIs in the study center. This mode of therapy could lead to antimicrobial resistance since culture and sensitivity tests were not done before the initiation of antibiotic therapy.

Authors: Makhdom Asim M. , Bokhary Omar A.
Published: September 2023

Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is the most affected joint and a leading cause of pain and functional limitation in the older population. Multiple studies have investigated the prevalence of KOA worldwide. However, research is very limited on this matter in Saudi Arabia. This review aimed to investigate the prevalence of KOA in Saudi Arabia and assess its prevalence. A standardized, systematic search strategy was conducted to identify observational studies that reported on the prevalence of KOA in Saudi Arabia. The search included published studies between January 2000 and April 2023. Six eligible studies were included for analysis. This included 1952 participants. The prevalence in these studies showed wide variability throughout the past two decades and was reported to range between 13% and 41%. Individuals above 40 had an average reported prevalence of 67.8% (16.2–71.4%). A significant association between KOA and an increased body mass index and female sex was found. Studies on KOA prevalence are limited in Saudi Arabia. Despite this, it is evident that the prevalence of KOA is high based on the available literature. Establishing a database registry, lifestyle modifications, and public awareness efforts may help reduce this disease’s impact on our population.

Authors: Agrawal Deepak , Poonamallee Latha , Joshi Sharwari , Bahel Vaibhav
Published: September 2023

Objectives:

Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) is a prevalent and potentially fatal consequence of traumatic brain injury (TBI). Timely identification of ICH is crucial to ensure timely intervention and to optimize better patient outcomes. However, the current methods for diagnosing ICH from head computed tomography (CT) scans require skilled personnel (Radiologists and/or Neurosurgeons) who may be unavailable in all centers, especially in rural areas. The aim of this study is to develop a neurotrauma screening tool for identifying ICH from head CT scans of TBI patients.

Materials and Methods:

We prospectively collected head CT scans from the Department of Neurosurgery, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi. Approximately 738 consecutive head CT scans from patients enrolled in the department were collected for this study spanning a duration of 9 months, that is, January 2020 to September 2020. The metadata collected along with the head CT scans consisted of demographic and clinical details and the radiologist’s report which was used as the gold standard. A deep learning-based 3D convolutional neural network (CNN) model was trained on the dataset. The pre-processing, hyperparameters, and augmentation were common for training the 3D CNN model whereas the training modules were set differently. The model was trained along with the save best model option and was monitored by validation metrics. The Institute Ethics Committee permission was taken before starting the study.

Results:

We developed a 3D CNN model for automatically detecting the ICH from head CT scans. The screening tool was tested in 20 cases and trained on 200 head CT scans, with 99 normal head CT and 101 CT scans with some type of ICH. The final model performed with 90% sensitivity, 70% specificity, and 80% accuracy.

Conclusion:

Our study reveals that the automated screening tool exhibits a commendable level of accuracy and sensitivity in detecting ICH from the head CT scans. The results indicate that the 3D CNN approach has a potential for further exploring the TBI-related pathologies.

Authors: Karn Ashutosh Kumar , Narayan Shamrendra , Qavi Abdul , Maurya Pradeep Kumar Kumar , Singh Ajai , Kulshreshtha Dinkar
Published: September 2023

Objectives:

Resistive index (RI) and pulsatility index (PI) assessed on carotid Doppler assess the hemodynamic status of cranial vasculature. They are related to the severity of stroke and help determine the overall outcome. This study was done to compare the hospital stay and stroke severity with RI and PI of both internal carotid arteries.

Materials and Methods:

Patients >18 years of age presenting within 48 h of anterior circulation stroke (either ischemic or hemorrhagic) were included. They were divided into two groups based on their length of stay (LOS). They were assessed clinically on days 1, 3, and 5, and underwent a carotid Doppler study on the same days. The Doppler parameters were correlated with the LOS and stroke severity for possible associations.

Results:

One hundred and one patients were included. Forty-seven patients had a favorable outcome based on LOS. In this group, significant decrease in RI and PI scores was seen from days 1 to 3. In patients with unfavorable outcome, there was a significant increase in PI on days 1–3 and days 1–5. The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale decreased significantly from days 1 to 5 in favorable group

Conclusion:

For those with an unfavorable outcome and prolonged LOS, PI continues to increase suggesting a failure of autoregulation. Carotid Doppler can be a simple bedside tool to predict outcome in patients with acute stroke.

Клариевый сом (Clarias gariepinus), обладая высокими качественными показателями мышечной ткани, становится одним из основных, востребованных по объемам производства видов товарной пресноводной рыбы. Мясо клариевого сома отличается высоким содержанием легкоусвояемых белков, липидов, что позволяет отнести его к продуктам с высокой пищевой ценностью. Представлены результаты оценки показателей мышечной ткани клариевого сома, выращенного с применением современной технологии в Московском регионе в 2021–2022 годах, для определения возможности использования этого сырья как основного компонента для производства рыбного многокомпонентного паштета. Объектами исследования были живые особи африканского клариевого сома и тушки рыб. Результаты исследования позволили установить биологические особенности роста и развития отдельных структур клариевого сома, выращиваемого в условиях замкнутого цикла водоснабжения в Московском регионе. Наиболее интенсивный прирост (до 75%) мышечной ткани (филе), представляющей товарный интерес для потребителя, отмечается в период полового созревания африканского сома. Максимальные концентрации в мышечной ткани белка (выше 18%), жира (выше 11%), золы (более 4%) отмечены у рыб с массой тела от 1000 г. Богатый аминокислотный состав белка мышечной ткани клариевого сома позволяет характеризовать его как ценное сырье для производства продуктов питания, в том числе рыбного многокомпонентного паштета.

Sharptooth catfish (Clarias gariepinus), having high quality indicators of muscle tissue, becomes one of the main types of commercial freshwater fish in demand in terms of production volumes. The meat of the sharptooth catfish is characterized by a high content of easily digestible proteins, lipids, which makes it possible to attribute it to products with high nutritional value. The results of the evaluation of the indicators of the muscle tissue of sharptooth catfish grown using modern technology in the Moscow region in 2021–2022 are presented to determine the possibility of using this raw material as the main component for the production of fish multicomponent pate. The objects of the study were live individuals of the African sharptooth catfish and fish carcasses. The results of the study allowed us to establish the biological features of the growth and development of individual structures of the sharptooth catfish grown in a closed water supply cycle in the Moscow region. The most intensive growth (up to 75%) of muscle tissue (fillet), which is of commercial interest to the consumer, is observed during the puberty of the African catfish. The maximum concentrations in muscle tissue of protein (above 18%), fat (above 11%), ash (more than 4%) were observed in fish with a body weight of 1000 g. The rich amino acid composition of the protein of the muscle tissue of the sharptooth catfish allows it to be characterized as a valuable raw material for food production, including fish multicomponent pate.

Published: September 2023

Исследовано влияние высокого гидростатического давления от 0,1 до 600 МПа на водопоглощение неочищенных семян пшеницы. Для неинвазивного метода определения влагосодержания применяли микроволновый датчик. В результате замачивание зерен пшеницы под давлением свыше 100 МПа значительно увеличило скорость водопоглощения. Замачивание при давлении 600 МПа уменьшило скорость поглощения воды из-за клейстеризации крахмала, что привело к появлению структурных изменений. Модель Пелега адаптировали к кинетике водопоглощения неочищенных зерен пшеницы и выявили хорошую сходимость модели во всех экспериментах (R2 > 0,967). Это позволило оценить начальную скорость поглощения воды и равновесное содержание влаги.

The effect of high hydrostatic pressure from 0,1 to 600 MPa on the water absorption of untreated wheat seeds was studied. For a non-invasive method for determining moisture content, a microwave sensor was used. As a result, soaking wheat grains under a pressure of over 100 MPa significantly increased the rate of water absorption. Soaking at a pressure of 600 MPa reduced the rate of water absorption due to the gelatinization of starch, which led to the appearance of structural changes. Peleg's model was adapted to the water absorption kinetics of unpeeled wheat grains and showed good model convergence in all experiments (R2 > 0,967). This made it possible to estimate the initial rate of water uptake and the equilibrium moisture content.

Published: September 2023

Насыщение потребительского рынка пищевыми продуктами, отвечающими принципам здорового питания, предполагает разработку нового поколения изделий, состав которых соответствует физиологическим потребностям человека в макро- и микронутриентах и способствует снижению потребления критически значимых для здоровья веществ. При этом корректировка рецептурных составов посредством внесения нетрадиционных ингредиентов может сопровождаться изменением традиционных сенсорных характеристик продукции, что, в свою очередь, ведет к сложности ее реализации на рынке. Для оценки риска успешности нового обогащенного продукта предложен инструментарий прогнозирования отношения потребителей к этому продукту, включающий разработку модели прогнозирования реакции потребителей и модели оценки предсказательной способности. Для прогнозирования успешности у потребителей нового изделия с определенным набором параметров предложена логит-модель множественного выбора, для оценки предсказательной способности логит-модели – ROC-анализ. Разработан алгоритм определения уровня успешности с одновременной минимизацией рисков производителя и потребителя. Модели апробированы применительно к обогащенному пищевыми волокнами хлебобулочному изделию посредством применения продукта переработки якона. Разработанный инструментарий прогнозирования реакции потребителя на новый продукт может быть применен в системах продвижения продуктов повышенной пищевой ценности, специализированного и функционального назначения, в системах проектирования пищевых продуктов.

Saturation of the consumer market with food products that meet the principles of healthy nutrition involves the development of a new generation of products, the composition of which corresponds to the physiological needs of a person in macro- and micronutrients and helps to reduce the consumption of critically important nutrients for health. At the same time, the adjustment of prescription formulations through the introduction of non-traditional ingredients may be accompanied by a change in the traditional sensory characteristics of products, which, in turn, leads to the risk of complexity of its implementation on the market. To predict the success of a new product with a certain set of parameters for consumers, a multiple choice logit model is proposed, and ROC analysis is used to assess the predictive ability of the logit model. An algorithm has been developed to determine the level of success while minimizing the risks of the manufacturer and the consumer. The models have been tested in relation to a bakery product enriched with dietary fibers through the use of a yacon processing product. The developed tools for predicting the consumer's reaction to a new product can be used in systems for promoting products of increased nutritional value, specialized and functional purposes, in food design systems.

Published: September 2023

Many secondary school buildings in New Zealand are inflexible, deteriorating and incapable of addressing the demands placed on them today. Adaptive long-term strategies are needed in place of short-term responses to avoid repeating these problems. Despite standalone prefabricated classrooms responding quickly to enrolment numbers their accumulation has introduced many issues regarding poor integration, and undesirable restrictions to the variety of learning spaces in schools. Recently, under an agenda of ‘innovative’ learning, some pioneering school projects have been delivered which provide unique responses constrained by the trends of school and classroom planning at their time of construction. In response to this situation, this research proposes a school planning and construction system which allows for flexibility and adaptation in response to different site conditions and varying enrolment numbers. This system plans for a range of learning spaces, including standard classrooms, experiment spaces, learning streets, study spaces and breakout rooms. In a first methodological step, case studies of three recent school projects from NZ, Japan and Germany are analyzed for their space planning and associated pedagogical strategies. This is undertaken at the scales of student workspace, classrooms, and the overall school. The space metrics deduced allow a comparison of space use per student, as well as the underlying pedagogical strategies. Subsequently, the space planning information is used inductively to develop a flexible school planning and construction system. Flexibility here is understood as a) the ability to respond to a range of different site conditions, b) ability to adapt the physical structure to growing or shrinking student numbers, and c) ability to enable different pedagogical settings and strategies. A series of coordinated design and construction-based modules are proposed as a system which coordinates space planning strategies and structural design logic.
Which Scale Direction is More Difficult for Respondents to Use? An Eye-tracking Study
Authors: Yan Ting
Published: September 2023

Scale direction is found to affect response distributions by yielding more selections of scale points closer to the beginning of the scale. Although this phenomenon has been empirically demonstrated in different modes of data collection for respondents with different demographic characteristics, it is not clear which scale direction is cognitively difficult for respondents to use. Eye-tracking is used to address this research question because it provides a direct window into how respondents process survey questions. I compared dilation and fixation measures across scale direction and found that the satisfaction scale and the frequency scale running from “Never” to “Very Often” had more and longer fixations. In addition, the dissatisfaction options incurred larger dilations, more peak dilations, and more and longer fixations than the other parts of the scale. Findings of this paper shed light on how respondents process response scales and have practical implications for questionnaire design. Furthermore, findings of this paper demonstrate the utility and potential of using eye-tracking in general and dilation measures in particular to understand cognitive burden of answering survey questions.

Seed yield in cowpea exhibited significant and positive association with days to maturity, plant height, number of branches, clusters and pods per plant, pod length and seeds per pod. However, days to 50 per cent flowering and 100 grain weight exhibited negative association with yield. The path analysis revealed that number of primary branches per plant, days to 50 per cent flowering and pods per plant had high positive direct effect on seed yield.

Climatic adaption of groundnut variety SB-XI as a post-rainy crop has been investigated considering the agroclimatic data of Nagpur region and the meteorological equivalents of the crop. The crop sown on 1, 15 and 29 October fortnightly interval during post rainy seasons of 1985-86 and 1986-87 exhibited a cold tolerance indicating its suitability for the Nagpur region as a post-rainy crop. The 15 October sowing alongwith other growth attributes recorded highest dry pod yieid (21.24 g/ha) followed by 1 October sowing (18.36 q/ha) being lowest (16.85 g/ha) for the 29. October. From the various growth and yield parameters 15 October sowing was found to exhibit best performance enjoying favourable weather of the season forming optimum sowing time in the region for the post-rainy groundnut. The sub-optimal temperatures prevailed during the winter delayed maturity to 123 days in 1 October sowing, to 136 days in 15 October sowing and to 140 days in 29 October sowing. The low temperature and low evaporation reduced water demand of the crop the conserved soil moisture and post monsoom rains favoured better development and yield of groundout.
