Authors: Ibrahim Abdullahi Abdurrazzaq
Published: June 2024

This study evaluated the antimicrobial effects of fenugreek (Trigonella foecum-graecum) extract solution on smoke-dried African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) stored at ambient temperature (32.0±2°C) over the period of 21 days. The experimental treatments were the control, 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5% (w/v) fenugreek extract solutions. A total of 70 fish of average mean weight of 30.98±1.32g were degutted, washed and soaked in the extract solutions for 30 minutes and later smoked-dried for 12 hours. The smoked-dried fish treated with 1.0% solution of extract had the highest moisture content of 12.33%, followed by 11.39% recorded in fish treated with 0.0% solution of the extract. Highest crude protein of 49.09% was obtained in the control while the least (37.76%) was recorded in the fish treated with 0.5% fenugreek extract. There was no increase in microbial loads in all the treated samples except in the control which increased from 5×103 to 18×103. There was no significant difference in the general acceptability of all the treated samples. This study revealed that fenugreek extract can be used as a preservative against microbial activities on smoked-dried Clarias gariepinus thereby reducing nutritional and economic loss.

Authors: O. Sangokunle Oluwatoyin
Published: June 2024

The pulse protein market is growing at a 6.0% annual compound growth rate (2021 – 2028) due to the popularity of vegetarianism, leading to an increased opportunity to utilize its starch. Pulse starch contains significant amounts of slowly digestible starch and resistant starch, both of which have been characterized and have the potential to contribute positively to human health. However, applications of pulse starch related to digestibility and fermentability patterns and physiological effects on human health remain largely unexplored. This review aims to provide background findings, summarize data on pulse starches concerning their digestibility and colonic fermentability, and discuss the potential application of pulse starch benefits to human health.

REDUCE-IT demonstrated a 25% reduction in a 5- point MACE (major adverse cardiovascular events) comprised of cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, coronary revascularization, or unstable angina using a purified form of ethyl eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) at a dose of 4 grams/day. Another similarly designed trial, STRENGTH, using a 4g carboxylic acid formulation of EPA and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) was stopped early due to futility.
Analyzing the Impact of Cardiothoracic Surgery Rotation in Africa on The Interest and Perception of Medical Students Towards a Career in Cardiothoracic Surgery - A Continental Cross Sectional Study
Authors: Bassey Effiom Victory
Published: June 2024

Objective: Globally, there have been a gradual decline in medical students’ interest to consider cardiothoracic surgery as a future career. Recruiting African medical students to cardiothoracic surgery is important given projected cardiothoracic surgeon shortages in Africa and new training models. With little representation of cardiothoracic surgery in medi¬cal school curriculum, we assessed the impact of cardiothoracic surgery rotation in Africa on the interest and perception of medical students towards a career in cardiothoracic surgery. Method: A cross-sectional study was carried out in which a Google form e-survey was disseminated to African clinical medical students between September 5th and October 5th, 2022. The questionnaire included a five-point Likert scale, Yes/No questions, free-text questions and multiple-choice questions. Data on exposure and length of cardiothoracic surgery rotation and perception of, and interest in, cardiothoracic surgery were collected. Data was analyzed using Result: A total of 527 participants take our questionnaire with the majority being males 305 (57.9%). Most participated age group was 21-25 with 360 (68.3%) participants. The countries with highest participations rates were Kenya, Africa, Ivory Coast, and Ghana with 71 (13.5), 64 (12.1), 53 (10.1), and 44 (8.3), respectively. Most of our responders were medical students at either 5th year 154 (29.2%) or 6th year 129 (24.5%) of medical school. 247 (46.9%) stated that they don’t have a cardiothoracic surgery (CTS) rotation as an option in their surgical training while 230 (43.6%) stated to have a CTS rotation in their hospital of whom only 182 (34.5%) have been exposed to CTS rotation. Of whom exposed to CTS sortation the duration was either one to two weeks or less than a week with 64 (12.1%) and 50 (9.5%). Conclusion: This study shows the importance of quality cardiothoracic surgery exposure and its impact on medical students’ interests in pursuing a career in CTS. The negative relationship between exposure and interest in CTS can be linked with the realization of the barriers that come with pursuing CTS. Mentorship is essential in closing the gap between male and female medical students regarding their interest in pursuing a CTS residency slot

The Mechanical Cause of Myocardial Infarction in Eisenmenger Syndrome: Unidimensional Left Main Compression
Authors: Bhatia Tanuj
Published: June 2024

Eisenmenger syndrome may rarely present as acute coronary syndrome due to extrinsic left main compression by the dilated and hypertensive pulmonary artery. Though computed tomography (CT scan) has been the investigation of choice for diagnosis of this entity, high-definition intravascular ultrasound (HD-IVUS) may play a crucial role in diagnosis especially in sick patients with a characteristic finding of a “slit-like” ostia. Treatment of this “left main compression syndrome” with a drug eluting stent of high radial strength, evidenced angiographically as well as by HD-IVUS makes percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) a preferred strategy to coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) in such high-risk patients.

Synthetic dyes are the primary colouring materials for textile dyeing; however, the residual industrial wastewater from the dyeing process contains complex concentrations of chemical substances, which result in toxicity and environmental pollution with severe negative impacts on ecology and health. This study adopts an eco-friendly perspective, utilizing a mixture of lychee leaves and sappan wood extracts for dyeing silk-linen fabrics. It explores the impacts of dyeing time, mordants, and dyeing methods on the colour quality of the samples. A computer colourimeter was used to compare the colour effects of different dye solution ratios on silk-linen fabrics, and the colour fastness to water, perspiration, and dry rubbing of the dyed fabrics was tested. The results show that the optimized dyeing process for silk-linen fabrics using a mixed solution of lychee leaves and sappan wood includes the following findings: Dyeing time has no significant impact on the CLE L*, a*, and b* values. The highest L* value and colour brightness are achieved under conditions without mordants. By mixing dye solutions in different proportions and treating them with mordants, the colour gamut of silk-linen fabrics has been expanded. The dyed colours are similar to the main popular colours of 2024, making them the trend colours of this year; the samples' fastness performance tests indicate that the colour fastness to water, perspiration, and dry rubbing essentially meets the requirements for textile fabrics. The use of lychee leaves and sappan wood for fabric dyeing is not only environmentally friendly but also possesses significant health-beneficial properties, offering potential commercial value.

Published: June 2024

BACKGROUND: Research using panoramic X-ray images using deep learning has been progressing in recent years. There is a need to propose methods that can classify and predict from image information. OBJECTIVE: In this study, Eichner classification was performed on image processing based on panoramic X-ray images. The Eichner classification was based on the remaining teeth, with the aim of making partial dentures. This classification was based on the condition that the occlusal position was supported by the remaining teeth in the upper and lower jaws. METHODS: Classification models were constructed using two convolutional neural network methods: the sequential and VGG19 models. The accuracy was compared with the accuracy of Eichner classification using the sequential and VGG19 models. RESULTS: Both accuracies were greater than 81%, and they had sufficient functions for the Eichner classification. CONCLUSION: We were able to build a highly accurate prediction model using deep learning scratch sequential model and VGG19. This predictive model will become part of the basic considerations for future AI research in dentistry.
The interdependence and cointegration of stock markets: Evidence from Japan, India and USA
Authors: Kumar John Pradeep , Sharma N. Mukund
Published: June 2024

In a rapidly globalizing world, understanding the relationships between major stock markets is of paramount importance for investors and financial analysts. This study explores the interdependence and cointegration of stock markets in Japan, India, and the USA, and explores the dynamics of global financial markets as well as the survival of a long-term and short-term link between these three indices. These leading stock markets were selected because of the researchers’ desire to learn more about the connections between them. From April 2012 through March 2022, we used monthly data from three major stock market indices: the NIKKEI (Japan), theBSE SENSEX (India), and the NASDAQ (USA). Stock market performance in both the United States and India tend to move together. Additionally, the GC test is utilized in an effort to ascertain if the markets have any form of forecasting ability. Based on the results of the tests conducted, it was determined that the NASDAQ index can accurately predict the SENSEX index, but the NIKKEI index. The United States and the Indian stock markets are highly correlated. To further investigate the markets’ potential for foresight, the Granger causality test is applied. Tests showed that while the NASDAQ index predicted the SENSEX index with high precision, the NIKKEI index did not. After a causal relationship has been established, we then look for evidence of a short- and long-term connection.

BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic has affected physical and occupational therapist education in various ways. OBJECTIVE: This study investigated whether the pandemic changed clinical placement, thus influencing the clinical competence of physical and occupational therapists at a hospital in Japan. METHODS: Eleven therapists (seven physical and four occupational) participated in this study in April 2021. Clinical placement teaching methods were surveyed using an online questionnaire. The Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE), comprising attitudinal and technical items, was used to examine clinical competence. The results were calculated as the sum of the attitudinal and technical scores, and the ratios of these scores to the full score were compared using a paired-sample Wilcoxon signed-rank test. RESULTS: During the pandemic, some schools implemented shortened practical clinical placements. The substituted classes included online-only classes and combined online and face-to-face classes. Regarding clinical competence, scores on the OSCE were mostly high. The median proportion of the total attitudinal score to the perfect score was 100% for all three items (range-of-motion test, muscle strength test, Stroke Impairment Assessment Set). The median proportion of the total technical score to the perfect score ranged from 56.7% to 76.7% for the three items. The ratio of the total attitudinal score to the full score was significantly higher than that of the total technical score to the full score (p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Most clinical placements were canceled or partially administered through online learning during the pandemic. This decrease in clinical placements did not affect newly recruited physical and occupational therapists’ clinical competence.

Case r eport of f unctional m edicine: a c ase of l ong COVID with adrenal fatigue
Authors:   Korean Institute for Functional Medicine, Kim Sang Man , Lee Sang-Hoon
Published: June 2024

Long COVID, also known as post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection or post-acute COVID-19 syndrome, refers to
a range of symptoms and complications that persist more than four weeks after diagnosis. Typical symptoms include fatigue,
headache, anosmia, ageusia, chronic cough, shortness of breath, impaired concentration and memory (brain fog), sleep disturbances,
depression, anxiety, and hair loss. The incidence of long COVID varies according to the data, but it has been reported in
approximately 20-60% of acute COVID-19 patients. However, despite its high incidence and significant medical and societal
burden, there is currently no clear definition or objective diagnostic criteria for long COVID. Its diagnosis and treatment
options are also limited and not established due to insufficient evidence. Nevertheless, a functional medicine approach, especially
focused on adrenal functional and adrenal fatigue, can help long COVID patients. Relevant blood tests and urinary organic
acid profile can be utilized, and lifestyle modification, oral or intravenous nutrition therapies can be implemented. In this
article, we report a clinical case of long COVID with adrenal fatigue, demonstrating significant improvement after functional
medical approach and management.
Case report of functional medicine: improvement of alopecia areata after 5R program
Authors:   Korean Institute for Functional Medicine, Lee Sang-Hoo , Kim Sang Man
Published: June 2024

The gut and skin health are closely related, defined as gut-skin axis. In particular, gut microbiome has been revealed as major
factor of gut-skin axis (gut-microbiome-skin axis). Psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, acne vulgaris, rosacea, hidradenitis suppurativa,
and alopecia areata are elucidated as skin disease related with gut microbiome. However, in most clinical situations, skin
diseases did not show significant improvement with probiotics alone. Because, various factors are involved in gut-microbiome-skin
axis, including intestinal permeability, detoxification, brain function, neurotransmitter, immune and inflammatory imbalance.
Also, probiotics alone cannot induce significant changes in whole intestinal microbiome. Functional medicine suggests 5R
program (or 5R treatment) as a method to restore overall intestinal health. 5R program consists of five steps: remove, replace,
reinoculate, repair, and rebalance. In the remove stage, antibiotics such as rifaximin are used to reduce intestinal microorganisms.
In the replace stage, digestive enzyme or supplements for gastric or bile acid secretion are used. In the reinoculate stage,
probiotics and prebiotics are supplied. In the repair stage, the intestinal barrier is restored by glutamine, lactoferrin or zinc.
In the rebalance stage, lifestyle modification is emphasized to maintain balance between gut and whole-body health. It is
thought that 5R program is more effective than probiotics alone in skin diseases, but the evidence is still lacking. We present
a case of alopecia areata who did not response to conventional treatment but cured after 5R program and nutrition therapy,
to explore the effectiveness of 5R program on skin disease with literature review.
Assessment and management of epicardial adipose tissue and coronary arterial calcification
Authors:   Korean Institute for Functional Medicine, Joo Nam-Seok
Published: June 2024

Although epicardial adipose tissue and coronary artery calcification are not traditional metabolic risk factors, recent research
results have reported that they are also related to decreased cardiac function, occurrence of cardiovascular diseases, and increased
metabolic risks. In the case of epicardial adipose tissue, there is morphological and functional similarity to abdominal visceral
fat, and an increase in epicardial fat is associated with an increase of risk of heart disease. In addition, coronary artery calcification
is also caused by an imbalance in the normal calcification process and causes atherosclerosis and coronary artery stenosis.
Epicardial fat and coronary artery calcification require periodic evaluation in people at risk through coronary artery computed
tomography and traditional management methods such as smoking cessation, exercise, weight loss, and use of statins, as well
as vitamin D and vitamin K to prevent calcification, are used to reduce risk. It may be an additional consideration for those
who have the risks.
ПОКАРАННЯ У МІЖНАРОДНОМУ КРИМІНАЛЬНОМУ ПРАВІ: МАПУВАННЯ ВИКЛИКІВ НА ШЛЯХУ ДО КОНЦЕПТУАЛІЗАЦІЇ ПОНЯТТЯ
Authors: КУЗЬМІН Едуард
Published: June 2024

Стаття присвячена дослідженню проблематики концептуалізації поняття покарання у міжнародному кримінальному праві та віднаходженню викликів, які наразі існують на шляху до відповідного результату. Визначено роль та місце феномену «міжнародного злочину» в означеному процесі, як такого, який не тільки пронизує переважну більшість аспектів міжнародного кримінального права, а й одночасно знаходиться в тісному взаємозв’язку із «покаранням», суттєво впливаючи на нього, видозмінюючи його внутрішні змістовні характеристики й параметри. Виявлено та систематизовано дві групи сучасних викликів на шляху до концептуалізації покарання у міжнародному кримінальному праві, серед яких чільне місце, з одного боку посідає проблематика «авторитету» та «легітимності» міжнародного кримінального права, «легальності» й «легітимації» міжнародних кримінальних судів і трибуналів, а також «законності» покарання у міжнародному кримінальному праві («зовнішні виклики»), а з іншого – широке коло проблем, пов’язаних із визначенням покарання, його мети, цілей, структури системи покарань, конкретних їх видів, а також інших специфічних нюансів, зосереджених довкола цієї категорії («внутрішні виклики»). Наголошено на перспективності досліджуємої тематики і обґрунтовано доцільність подальшої її наукової розробки з огляду на виявлені тенденції, що формуються («похідний характер», «селективність», «конфронтація»).

Стаття присвячена аналізу проблем онлайн навчання майбутніх психологів, які виникли при вимушеному переході закладів вищої освіти до онлайн навчання під час епідемії COVID-19 та отримали свій розвиток під час повномасштабних воєнних дій. Мета роботи: виявити проблеми онлайн навчання у підготовці майбутніх психологів, розглянути та узагальнити шляхи їх подолання. Методологія: з метою дослідження проблеми онлайн навчання, використано методи: теоретичного аналізу сучасної наукової літератури, метод спостереження та анкетування. Наукова новизна: у статі вперше виявлена, узагальнена та проаналізовані специфіка виникнення психологічних проблем при організації онлайн навчання майбутніх психологів. Зроблено наголос на вимушеному характері переходу на онлайн навчання в зв’язку з початком пандемії. Зазначається, що основною особливістю навчання майбутніх психологів є неможливість розгляду методичних проблем навчання у відриві від проблем надання психологічної допомоги. Проведене авторами опитування серед студентів-психологів першого, бакалаврського рівня навчання показало, що серед найбільш значущих для себе проблем, студенти відмічають: ускладнення комунікації з викладачами та одногрупниками; проблеми тайм-менеджменту; збільшення обсягу самостійної роботи; проблеми з технологіями; зниження загальної мотивації до навчання, складний психологічний стан. Аналіз викладацької діяльності виявив наявність проблем з: підвищенням рівня тривожності, розподілом уваги, необхідністю поєднання функції викладача и людини-оператора, особливостями планування та проведення онлайн занять, високим рівнем емоційного напруження та підвищеної емоційності учасників комунікації, готовністю до надання психологічної допомоги, «цифровою толерантністю» та урахуванням специфіки викладання в умовах широкого географічного розкиду здобувачів. Продемонстровано що виникнення значною кількості психологічних проблем тісно пов’язане з технічними аспектами організації навчального процесу, рівнем його матеріального та програмного забезпечення, та специфічними психологічними умовами його реалізації. У статті наводяться емпірично напрацьовані прийоми подолання зазначених проблем як у студентів так і у викладачів під час проведення онлайн занять з підготовки майбутніх психологів. Висновки. Результати проведеного теоретичний аналізу та практичного дослідження показали, що успішний або неуспішний перехід на онлайн навчання майбутніх психологів пов’язаний з технічними аспектами організації навчального процесу, рівнем його матеріального забезпечення та специфічними психологічними умовами його реалізації.
Brazilian essential oil of Cymbopogon martinii: positive effects on inflammation-induced human fibroblasts and skin aging.
Authors: Oliveira Carlos Rocha , Bella Leonardo Mendes , Vieira Rodolfo de Paula , Duarte Marília Cristina
Published: June 2024

The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of essential oil from Cymbopogon martinii (CMEO) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated human fibroblast cells. The fibroblasts were cultured using Iscove's medium and stimulated by LPS (1Î¼g/mL). The cytotoxicity of CMEO was evaluated by MTT and collagen concentration by Sirius red. Collagenase activity, hyaluronic acid, and the concentrations of IL-1Î²; IL-6; MCP-1, and MIP-1-Î± were evaluated by ELISA. The effect of CMEO on the mRNA levels and the secretion of MMP-1; MMP-2; and MMP-9 enzymes in fibroblasts were evaluated by RT-qPCR and ELISA, respectively. CMEO was cytotoxic against fibroblasts, in which 10Î¼g/mL inhibited 50% of cell viability. When treated with CMEO, the fibroblasts produced more collagen and hyaluronic acid compared to control cells. When stimulated by LPS, fibroblasts exhibited higher production of IL-6, IL-1Î², MCP-1, and MIP-1Î± compared to control cells. However, the treatment of fibroblasts with CMEO reduces cytokines secretion and enzyme expression. In summary, CMEO reduced the secretion of cytokines and metalloproteinases, in addition to increasing the synthesis of extracellular matrix elements. The study demonstrated the effects of CMEO on the modulation of inflammatory mediators and decreasing the mRNA and secretion levels of metalloproteinases.
