Duodenitis y gastritis ambiental, distribución de Campylobacter piloris y relación con pH y nitritos intragástricos
Authors: Bravo Luis Eduardo , Realpe José Luis , Portilla Humberto , Parra Ana Elisa , Valenzuela Nirza
Published: August 2024

En el Hospital Departamento de Nariño, Pasto, Colombia, en 62 pacientes sometidos a endoscopia se buscó la presencia de Campylobacter pyloris con prueba de la ureasa y coloración con Gram del cepillado gástrico; las biopsias de mucosa gástrica y duodenal se procesaron con hematoxilina-eosiana y con Giemsa. Con la coloración de PAS-alcian blue se valoró la presencia de metaplasia gástrica duodenal. Además se obtuvo muestra de jugo gástrico para determianción de nitritos y pH. Se encontró duodenitis en 41.7% y en el 100% de los pacientes algún grado de gastritis. El C. pyloris se asoció con 85.5% de las gastritis, 69.2% de duodenitis activa y 100% de pacientes con enfermedad ulcerativa y/o erosiva gastroduodenal. En duodenitis activa se relacionó con metaplasia gástrica duodenal. Con el incremento del pH a valore > 4, en 37.5% de los pacientes se encontró atrofia total; y con la presencia de nitritos en jugo gástrico, 51.9% tuvieron metaplasia intestinal. La gravedad de las lesionas encontradas y la elevación del pH no se explican por la sola presencia del C. pyloris y se relacionan más con la presencia de nitritos intragástricos. Por tanto, en la etiología multifactorial de la gastritis ambiental el C. pyloris parece jugar un papel coadyuvante y no determinativo. Se discute la relación del pH, nitritos intragástricos, distribución del C. pyloris y la frecuencia de lesiones en la mucosa gastroduodenal. Se propone que la presencia de nitritos con un pH mayor a 5 en jugo gástrico, es un criterio útil como método de selección de los pacientes con estadíos avanzados de gastritis ambiental y por tanto, con alto riesgo para el desarrollo de adenocarcinoma gástrico del tipo intestinal.

Evaluación de la prueba de presión supina en la predicción de hipertensión inducida por el embarazo en un grupo de bajo nivel socioeconómico
Authors: Conde Agustín , Franco Astolfo , Cifuentes Rodrigo
Published: August 2024

La hipertensión arterial inducida por el embarazo (HIE) es una causa importante de morbi-mortalidad materna y perinatal en la población colombiana. En el presente trabajo se evaluó la eficiencia de la prueba de presión supina (PPS) (o "roll over test", ROT) para predecir el desarrollo posterior de HIE en una población obstétrica residente en un área marginada de la ciudad de Cali. Se practicó en 127 embarazadas entre 28 y 32 semanas de amenorrea sin patología ni antecedentes importantes demostrables en el momento de su consulta. Después del embarazo se revisaron las historias clínicas de cada una de las pacientes para establecer cuáles de ellas habían desarrollado toxemia en el transcurso de la gestación. De 127 embarazadas estudiadas, 25 tuvieron PPS positiva, y 15 hicieron posteriormente HIE. De las 102 embarazadas con PPS negativa, 93 no desarrollaron HIE. Al determinar la eficiencia de la PPS en esta población marginada, se encontraron los siguientes valores: sensibilidad, de 62.5%; especificidad, 90.3%; valor predictivo de la prueba negativa, 91.2%. Se concluye que la PPS se debe efectuar de rutina de control prenatal de todas las mujeres embarazadas entre las 28 y 32 semanas de gestación, porque es un método seguro, fácil de realizar, y sin costo, que requiere solamente medir tensión arterial y un período corto para su ejecución.

Authors: Cuero César , Ríos María Cristina , Otero Luis M. , Hurtado G. Hugo , Santamaría Consuelo , Mercado Alvaro
Published: August 2024

Con el objetivo de evaluar las funciones renales y la presión arterial postnefrectomía de los donantes vivos relacionados del Programa de Transplante Renal de Hospital Universitario del Valle, Cali, Colombia, se estudiaron 38 donantes vivos relacionados con tiempo de postdonación entre 6 meses y 4 años, a quienes se les determinó depuración de creatinina, microalbuminuria y presión arterial, comparándolos con los valores predonación y un grupo control integrado por personas de la comunidad. Al relacionar los resultados pre y postdonación, se encontró la creatinina sérica elevada postnefrectomía, 22.7% con P de 0.00. La albuminuria se elevó también 118.0% postdonación P de 0.01 y la depuración de creatinina bajó a 95.5% de su valor previo. Al comparar los donantes con los controles la creatinina sérica fue mayor en los donantes con P de 0.00, la depuración de creatinina resultó 91.7% del control y la albuminuria mayor, con P de 0.01, no registrándose diferencia significativa en la presión arterial. En 4 donantes hubo valores anormales de albuminuria con rango entre 40 y 88 mg/24h y los valores postnefrectomía resultaron más elevados que los previos y los controles todos se mantuvieron dentro de limites normales, sin que fueran afectados por el sexo, la edad o el tiempo postnefrectomía. Se concluye que la donación de riñón no tiene riesgo significativo de deterioro progresivo de la función del riñón remanente.

Rough and Tumblr: Blogging Newcastle
Authors: Glastonbury Keri
Published: August 2024

This auto-ethnographic essay responds to the recent phenomenon of “place blogging” within the context of Newcastle, Australia. My ambivalence toward Newcastle off-line contrasts with my fascination with the way others aestheticise it online. In order to feel a sense of belonging in Newcastle, it seems I need to live vicariously through the viewing of others’ “spatial selves” on social media (Schwartz and Halegoua).

Published: August 2024

Jakarta merupakan salah satu kota metropolitan di Indonesia yang padat penduduknya sehingga sering terjadi kemacetan lalu lintas. Kondisi ini mendorong penduduk Jakarta untuk menggunakan transportasi umum sebagai sarana bepergian. Namun, padatnya aktivitas dan jadwal operasi transportasi umum menyebabkan pembersihan transportasi umum tidak dapat terlaksana setiap saat. Hal ini dapat menyebabkan tumbuhnya berbagai mikroorganisme, terutama bakteri. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui karakteristik mikroorganisme yang terdapat pada salah satu transportasi umum di Jakarta sehingga dapat meningkatkan kewaspadaan pengguna dalam menggunakan transportasi umum. Hasil penelitian ini juga dilakukan untuk melihat sebaran mikroba berbahaya yang kemungkinan tersebar di transportasi umum perkotaan. Sampel diambil dari salah satu transportasi umum di daerah Jakarta Utara. Sampel akan ditumbuhkan dalam media nutrient agar sehingga dapat diidentifikasi secara makroskopis dan mikroskopis, serta pewarnaan gram. Tingkat resistensi bakteri diamati dengan menumbuhkan bakteri dalam medium agar antibiotik. Berdasarkan hasil identifikasi dan pewarnaan gram, ditemukan bahwa bakteri pada transportasi umum di daerah Jakarta Utara didominasi oleh bakteri gram negatif. Profil persebaran bakteri di daerah Jakarta Utara masih tergolong aman bagi kesehatan, tetapi bakteri tetap dapat menginfeksi tubuh manusia, khususnya pada saluran pernafasan sehingga masyarakat pengguna transportasi umum harus selalu meningkatkan kesadarannya untuk menjaga kebersihan diri dan lingkungan.

Les stratégies utilisées chez les patients atteints de Broncho Pneumopathie Chronique Obstructive (BPCO) pour maintenir les acquis à long terme d’un programme de réadaptation respiratoire : une revue systématique
Authors: LEGAY Lucie , MENEZ Charlotte , GALLIOU Guillaume
Published: August 2024

Contexte : La BPCO est une pathologie respiratoire touchant 7,5% des français. La réadaptation respiratoire est un moyen de traitement nécessaire aux patients BPCO dans lequel le masseur-kinésithérapeute a un rôle important. La littérature a montré ses effets à court terme. Le premier objectif est donc de mettre en avant les interventions utilisées pour maintenir les acquis à long terme. Le second est d’établir des profils de patients pour lesquels certaines interventions seraient plus adaptées. Méthode : Cette revue systématique a été réalisée conformément aux guidelines PRISMA. Cinq bases de données ont été utilisées afin d’obtenir des essais contrôlés randomisés (ECR). Les échelles PEDro et Rob2 ont permis d’évaluer leur qualité méthodologique. Les critères de jugement principaux étaient la dyspnée, la capacité physique, la qualité de vie, le nombre d’hospitalisation et d’exacerbation. Les critères secondaires étaient le stade de sévérité, la probabilité de survie, le profil actif et le coût. Résultats : Après avoir obtenu 78 articles, neuf ECR ont été inclus. Trois études ont montré une amélioration de la dyspnée, la capacité physique et la qualité de vie. Les autres ECR n’ont pas montré d’effet significatif et/ou cliniquement pertinent pour tous les critères. Conclusion : Trois études ayant intégré une intervention à domicile ont permis de maintenir les acquis à long terme. Cependant, les études sélectionnées étaient de qualité moyenne avec des risque de biais. Malgré l’existence de points forts (dépôt sur OSF, données récentes, MCID etc), d’autres études sont nécessaires afin de répondre à cette problématique.
A Series of Neutral Alkaline Earth Metal Hydride Complexes Supported by a Bulky, Unsymmetrical B-Diketiminate Ligand, [{(Dip/TCHPNacnac)M(mu-H)}2] (M = Mg, Ca, Sr or Ba)

Published: August 2024

A bulky, unsymmetrical B-diketiminate ligand, [HC{MeCN(Dip)}{MeCN(TCHP)}]- (Dip/TCHPNacnac; Dip = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl, TCHP = 2,4,6-tricyclohexylphenyl), has been utilised in the preparation of a series of magnesium alkyl and calcium, strontium and barium amide complexes. Reaction of these with PhSiH3 afforded the first complete series of B-diketiminato heavier group 2 metal hydride complexes, [{(Dip/TCHPNacnac)M(mu-H)}2] (M = Mg, Ca, Sr or Ba). The unsymmetrical nature of the B-diketiminate ligand seemingly promotes stabilising interactions of ligand Dip groups with the metal centres in the Ca, Sr and Ba hydride complexes.

Materials discovery extends beyond the synthesis of new compounds. Detailed characterization is essential to understand the potential applications of novel materials. However, experimental characterization can be challenging due to the vast chemical and physical spaces, as well as the specific conditions required for certain techniques. Computational high-throughput methods can overcome these challenges. In this work, the transport and thermoelectric properties of the recently synthesized bulk BiN are explored, including the effects of temperature, pressure, carrier concentration, polymorphism and polycrystalline grain size. We find that the band structure is strongly dependent on pressure and the polymorph studied. Both polymorphs exhibit low thermal conductivity at 0 GPa, which rapidly increases when pressure is applied. Electronic transport properties can be finely tuned based on the effects of pressure and polymorph type on the band gap, carrier mobilities, and presence of secondary pockets. The thermoelectric figure of merit can reach values around 0.85 for both p- and n-type BiN if the power factor and lattice thermal conductivity are optimized at 600 K, making this material competitive with other well-known thermoelectric families, such as Bi2Te3 or PbX, in the low-to-medium temperature range.
Single-Molecule Conductance of Staffanes
Authors: Pimentel Ashley , Pham Lan , Carta Veronica , Su Timothy
Published: August 2024

We report the first conductance measurements of [n]staffane (bicyclopentane) oligomers in single-molecule junctions. Our studies reveal two quantum transport characteristics unique to staffanes that emerge from their strained bicyclic structure. First, though staffanes are composed of weakly conjugated C-C σ-bonds, staffanes carry a shallower conductance decay value (β = 0.84 ± 0.02 n-1) than alkane chain analogs (β = 0.96 ± 0.03 n-1) when measured with the scanning tunneling microscopy break junction (STM-BJ) technique. Staffanes are thus more conductive than any other σ-bonded organic backbone reported in the literature on a per atom basis. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations suggest staffane backbones are more effective conduits for charge transport because their significant bicyclic ring strain destabilizes the HOMO-2 energy, aligning it more closely with the Fermi energy of gold electrodes as oligomer order increases. Second, the monostaffane is significantly lower conducting than expected. DFT calculations suggest that short monostaffanes sterically enforce insulating gauche interelectrode orientations over syn orientations; these steric effects are alleviated in longer staffanes. Moreover, we find that [2-5]staffane wires may accommodate axial mechanical strain by “rod-bending”. These findings show for the first time how bicyclic ring strain can enhance charge transmission in saturated molecular wires. These studies showcase the STM-BJ technique as a valuable tool for uncovering the stereoelectronic proclivities of molecules at material interfaces.
Site- and enantioselective allylic and propargylic C-H oxidation enabled by copper-based biomimetic catalysis

Published: August 2024

Methods for direct, enantioselective oxidation of C(sp3)–H bonds in organic molecules will revolutionize the preparation of chiral alcohols and their derivatives, which are important moieties in natural products, pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Enzymatic catalysis, which employs key metal oxides to facilitate efficient hydrogen atom abstraction, has evolved as a highly selective approach for C-H oxidation in biological systems. Despite its effectiveness, reproducing this function and achieving high stereoselectivity in biomimetic catalysts has proven to be a daunting task. Here we present a copper-based mimetic catalytic system that achieves highly efficient asymmetric sp3 C-H oxidation with the C-H substrates as the limiting reagent. An unprecedent Cu(II)-bound tert-butoxy radical is responsible for the site-selective C–H bond cleavage, which resembles the active site of copper-based enzymes for C–H oxidation. The developed allylic and propargylic C-H oxidation reactions have been successfully accomplished with good functional group compatibility and exceptionally high site- and enantioselectivity, and this method is applicable for the late-stage oxidation of bioactive compounds.
ANALYSIS OF ECOWAS QUEST FOR REGIME SURVIVAL VERSUS REPUBLIC OF NIGER
Authors: Ukpere Wilfred , Frank Etim Okon
Published: August 2024

The study explores ECOWAS quest for regime survival in the aftermath of the collapse of the democratic government in the Republic of Niger, being the fifth country in the row in West Africa within three (3) years. It sought to unveil the latent reasons behind ECOWAS stand, interrogate whether it was acting as a proxy and identify the linkages between the destruction of Nord-Stream Gas Pipeline phase 1 and 2, the renewed interest in Trans-Sahara Gas Pipeline (TSGP) and ECOWAS pursuit of regime survival. The analysis approached the study through an exploratory and diagnostic method, which explored historical and time-series events in the analysis. The procedure revealed that wherever democratic regimes failed to add value to the lives of citizens through democratic accountability, the people will embark on protest actions out of relative deprivation that confront them. Military coup d’etat is an extreme form of protest at the level of supplantment as witnessed in Niger. It further disclosed that ECOWAS quest for regime survival is unconnected with TSGP project meant to convey gas from Nigeria through Niger Republic via Algeria to western Europe through Italy. The declaration by the coupists that Niger will not honour its own part of the contract any longer would result in extreme dependence of Western Europe on Russia for gas. The logical alternative is to get ECOWAS to embark on regime restoration in order to honour the pipeline contract and possibly free Europe from the stranglehold of Russia. The analysis concluded that Russian -Ukraine kind of war looms in Niger, which is capable of engulfing Nigeria and the sub-region.

Anemia in pregnant women is a health problem related to its high incidence and the complications that can arise in the mother and fetus. This community service aimed to provide assistance and counseling in the prevention of anemia and KEK in pregnant women so that pregnant women in the Gayaman Village area routinely consume FE tablets to prevent anemia. The method used mentoring and measuring the discipline in consuming FE tablets with a checklist and interviews about the regularity of FE tablet consumption. This community service was conducted on 25 pregnant women in September 2022-January 2023. The results revealed that based on interviews before the service was carried out, pregnant women still did not routinely consume FE tablets and did not pay attention to diets during pregnancy. After the explanation and assistance, pregnant women understood the benefits of consuming FE tablets regularly. Assistance needs to be given to pregnant women so that FE consumption is carried out regularly so that pregnant women avoid anemia and KEK.

Authors:   ,   Lebanese American University -- Chouran Beirut, Zgheib Fady
Published: August 2024

China’s economic rise has become an unavoidable discussion in the sector of international affairs. By achieving incredible feats of developments, China made its presence known in the global geopolitical sphere. In doing so, it utilized its massive capabilities as a tool to forge ties with regional and global players rivalling the western hegemony, later translating into political alliances, a method discussed under the dependency theory. As a global provider, China itself is in need of massive resources, most notably oil, abundant in the Arab Gulf. This thesis aims to study how China used its economic prowess in order to make the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, 2 main players of the Arab Gulf, dependent on its resources in the field of technology (microchips) and solar energy (solar panels) due to their futuristic plans of developing those 2 sectors, and through that economic dependency instill its political aspirations and influence, manifesting the dependency theory.

Grade - V [AAST Classification] Acute Liver Injury Managed via Non-Surgical Approach: A Case Report
Authors: Raja Khalid Shabbir  , Mashood Iqbal  , Muhammad Saad
Published: August 2024

Blunt abdominal traumas involving the liver are frequently encountered as part of Road Traffic Accidents [RTA]. Despite aggressive management and resuscitation efforts when encountering such patients in the Emergency Room [ER], the concept of developing trauma centers appears mandatory for prompt intervention and therapeutic accuracy. Hemodynamic status appears to play a key role in initiating further treatment strategy. Radiographic imaging namely CT-scans have an established role and has been a gold standard in diagnosing the gravity of the underlying organ injury. Non-Operative Management [NOM] of traumatic liver injury has been considered feasible for grade I - III liver injuries primarily. Surgical exploration of the liver has been restricted to cases of penetrating trauma associated with traumatic liver hemorrhage. Here in, we report a case of a young male who presented in the surgical ER of a tertiary care teaching hospital after his car collided with a tree. ATLS [Advanced Trauma Life Support] protocol was delivered successfully. The patient was resuscitated and further investigations carried out accordingly. CECT [Contrast-Enhanced Computed Tomography] scan of the abdomen revealed grade - V [AAST Classification] acute liver injury which was managed conservatively. Patient was ultimately followed in the surgical Outpatient Department [OPD] after 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, and then 3 months of discharge from the hospital with his visits being uneventful.

Results: DMFT score was highest among those aged between 45 to 54 years, males, having elementary school education, unemployed, and having sedentary job activity level. Males (33.6%) were consuming more water. Respondents drinking adequate water had coral pink gingiva (25.6%), whereas those who were consuming less water had red gingiva (25.6%), bleeding on probing (37.6%), and supra gingival calculus (33.6%). The main reasons for not drinking adequate water were forgetfulness, followed by adipsia and fear of polyuria. Most respondents (72.8%) preferred drinking water at home rather than at work. Most respondents (72.8%) do not drink water at their workplace as they preferred (32%) to drink home-filtered water. Most respondents (83.2%) used only water for oral cleaning. Conclusion: Those consuming less than 1 liter of water daily had an increased prevalence of supragingival calculus, bleeding gums, and dark red gingiva. The mode of intervention should be mass education regarding water consumption, as per guidelines of WHO and ADA.

Background: Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a disorder characterized by insulin insufficiency caused by the autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta cells. Optimum control of TIDM needs insulin administration along with intensive education. Lipohypertrophy is one of the complications and risk factors of uncontrolled diabetes. Objective: To determine the frequency and associated factors of lipohypertrophy in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes in a single tertiary care centre. Study Design: Cross-sectional descriptive study. Settings: Department of Pediatric Endocrinology and Diabetes, Pediatric Unit-1, FMU/Allied Hospital, Faisalabad, Pakistan. Duration: 6 months from January 2023 to June 2023. Methods: A total of 148 children and adolescents with type 1 diabetic patients were enrolled. All the children were examined for the presence of lipohypertrophy (LH), and different associated factors for lipohypertrophy were statistically assessed to determine its significance. Results: The mean age of children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes was 6.74 ± 2.67 years (3 to 12 years). Males and females were 85 (57.43%) and 63 (42.57%), respectively. The frequency of lipohypertrophy was found in 58/148 (39.19%) patients with male predominance (40/85). Failure to change the injection sites and the younger age group were the most important associated factors for lipohypertrophy. Conclusion: The frequency of lipohypertrophy (LH) is high among children and adolescents with T1DM. The most important associated factors for lipohypertrophy were the younger age group, failure to change the injection sites, syringe reuse, and poor diabetes control.

One of preventive service is health history screening. Health history screening for BPJS Kesehatan patients can be done at primary health care and independently with smartphone. The implementation of health history screening for patients in the Puskesmas Sedati working area is still not optimal. The health history is important, so at the time of health service with medical professional, they no longer need to ask about the patient's health history. The purpose of this community development is to increase awareness in patients about the importance of health history screening and the achievement of completing BPJS Kesehatan health history screening at the Puskesmas Sedati. This method of community development includes the preparation, implementation and evaluation. The results obtained are that there are still some patients who do not understand the importance of health history screening. It provided by BPJS Kesehatan can be done independently by patients, but there are still patients who do not know how to use it, so they need assistance in filling out. The benefit of health history screening is for early detection of the risk of diseases, not to lead to the diagnosis of the diseases. The community development activities need to be carried out continuously, so the screening can continue to be carried out every year independently

Glucose oxidase (GOX) is naturally produced by fungi Aspergillus niger. The GOX enzyme catalyzes the oxidation reaction of β-D-glucose to produce δ-gluconolactone and hydrogen peroxide a (H2O2). Hydrolysis of δ-gluconolactone will produce gluconic acid. Gluconic acid and its derivatives have benefits in the pharmaceutical field as a drug for mineral deficiencies. A. niger IPBCC 08.610 is a local isolate that produce intracellular GOX with higher yield than extracellularly. GOX can be expressed extracellularly by cloning into the expression vector pPICZαB which has the signal peptide α-mating factor (α-MF). GOX gene construction needs to be done by adding some features such as XhoI restriction sites at the 5' and 3' ends, XbaI restriction site at 3’ side, and spacer peptide glu-ala-glu-ala at 5’ side. This research aims to optimize Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) conditions in two stages of amplification, stage I to copy the GOX gene and stage II to add those features so it is hoped that recombinant GOX can increase gluconic acid production. The results of primer concentration optimization showed that primers with a concentration of 10 µM produced clearer PCR amplicons than those with a concentration of 20 µM. The optimal temperature for amplification stage I is 58°C. The amplification stage II annealing temperature was modified with the first ten cycles based on the lowest Tm of primer value, 52°C, and the subsequent 25 cycles based on the highest Tm of primer value, 61°C.

Published: August 2024

This research is the result of an analysis of the multiculturalism values of Cirebon-Indramayu as a historical reality that cannot be denied by anyone. The taking of spatial boundaries by selecting two regions (Cirebon and Indramayu) is based solely on the consideration that in the course of its history, administratively the Indramayu region was once part of the territory of the Islamic Kingdom of Cirebon and Karesidenan Cirebon. This reason is then used as a reference in selecting the research location. To facilitate the description of Cirebon-Indramayu history and the phenomenon of multiculturalism in it, the author use four historical research steps including heuristics, criticism, interpretation, and historiography. After the historical facts that show aspects of multiculturalism in Cirebon-Indramayu are obtained, the next step is how the message of multiculturalism obtained can be presented in the lecture room in learning local history courses. For this reason, this research will also be continued with the application of the Reflective Pedagogical Paradigm (PPR) approach as a learning effort that integrates the history of Cirebon-Indramayu with the values of multiculturalism. As a result, the Cirebon-Indramayu history study, which was adjusted to the context of the student, students understand the history of their area and the values of multiculturalism were able to be confirmed through the dynamics of experience, reflection, and action. Ultimately, Bhineka Tunggal Ika is not just a slogan that is echoed everywhere, but it is true. The affirmation of the value of multiculturalism in the history of Cirebon-Indramayu is also an attempt to place the value of multiculturalism in the history of Cirebon-Indramayu in line with historical facts that have become the narrative and object of previous historical research.
