Computed Tomographic Findings of Liver Cirrhosis in Dogs: Comparison between Compensated and Decompensated Cirrhosis
Authors: Lee Heesu , Hyun Jaeeun , Eom Kidong , Kim Jaehwan
Published: September 2024

This study aimed to describe computed tomography (CT) characteristics of histologically confirmed cirrhosis and to compare these CT characteristics between compensated and decompensated cirrhosis. Sixteen dogs who underwent contrast CT and histopathological examinations were included; eleven dogs were assigned to the compensated group, and five dogs were assigned to the decompensated group. Irregular hepatic contours with a diffuse nodular distribution and hepatic lymph node enlargement are common concomitant features of cirrhotic livers on CT images. The enhancement patterns of the regenerative nodules and hepatic parenchyma were not significantly different from each other. Hypoattenuating areas with delayed contrast enhancement indicating fibrotic tissue were confirmed in 56.3% of cases. Hypoattenuating wedge-shaped area or nodule with minor or no contrast enhancement (histopathologically confirmed as focal necrosis) were confirmed in 37.5% of cases. Among CT variables, only normalized liver volume and portal vein-to-aorta ratio were significantly lower (p = 0.038 and 0.003, respectively) in the decompensated group. In conclusion, this study presented the CT features of cirrhosis and identified CT features that can discriminate between compensated and decompensated cirrhosis. Specifically, lower normalized liver volume and the portal vein-to-aorta ratio might be useful indicators for the progression of cirrhosis to the decompensated phase.

Authors: Mammadova Lala , Negri Sergio , Tahmazova Malak-Khanim , Mammadov Vagif
Published: September 2024

The Gudiyalchay River plays a crucial role in the environment and human activities of the Guba area in north-eastern Azerbaijan, supporting agriculture and the local water supply. Despite its significance, the river has received little scientific attention. The groundwater beneath the Gudiyalchay riverbeds, a vital source of drinking water and the second primary source of river recharge after snowmelt, remains insufficiently studied, with most monitoring data being outdated. With climate change intensifying, such research is critical to mitigating potential water risks. In this work, all available geological, hydrogeological, climatic, and hydrochemical data were collected to characterize the study area and analyze the seasonal fluctuations in river flow and total dissolved solid (TDS) values, with a focus on the interactions between the river and groundwater at the Khinaliq, Giriz, and Kupchal flow stations. The analysis shows that both river and groundwater TDS values are within acceptable drinking water limits, but continuous data collection is important to confirm this. Flow rate analysis and a literature review revealed that variations in flow rate are linked to seasonal changes, with the flow rate near the Giriz station indicating potential groundwater influence. Based on the literature review and analysis, a simplified hydrogeological diagram is created to provide a clearer understanding of the interactions between the river and groundwater systems.

Published: September 2024

Human brain organoids are 3-dimensional brain-like tissues derived from human pluripotent stem cells and hold promising potential for modeling neurological, psychiatric, and developmental disorders. While the molecular and cellular aspects of human brain organoids have been intensively studied, their functional properties such as organoid neural networks (ONNs) are largely understudied. Here, we summarize recent research advances in understanding, characterization, and application of functional ONNs in human brain organoids. We first discuss the formation of ONNs and follow up with characterization strategies including microelectrode array (MEA) technology and calcium imaging. Moreover, we highlight recent studies utilizing ONNs to investigate neurological diseases such as Rett syndrome and Alzheimer’s disease. Finally, we provide our perspectives on the future challenges and opportunities for using ONNs in basic research and translational applications.
The Method That Makes Oils and Fats Healthier: Interesterification
Authors: İnanlar Batuhan , Altay Filiz
Published: September 2024

Interesterification is a versatile modification technique with significant benefits for health, the environment, and the economy. It serves as an advantageous alternative to partial and full hydrogenation, preventing the formation of trans fatty acids and saturated fats. While more research is needed to fully understand its health impacts, existing studies suggest that the health effects may stem from end products rather than the process itself. This method is particularly valuable in producing alternatives to breast milk, enriching foods with omega-3 fatty acids, and contributing to food safety through applications like edible film production. From an environmental standpoint, enzymatic interesterification is especially advantageous due to its ability to reuse enzymes and minimize waste, thus reducing environmental impact. The process also offers energy savings and increased efficiency, which are both environmentally and economically beneficial. By preserving food quality, aiding in the production of trans fat free margarine, and reducing the need for hydrogenation, interesterification supports the food industry while indirectly contributing to lower health expenditures. Despite its advantages, interesterification is influenced by factors such as fatty acid composition, triacylglyceride stereochemistry, temperature, process duration, catalyst usage, and the condition of the oil mixture. Challenges such as acyl migration and residue formation can arise. While both chemical and enzymatic methods are utilized, enzymatic interesterification has become more popular due to its efficiency and environmental benefits. Future research should focus on enzymatic interesterification to optimize its applications. Given its widespread use, it is recommended that interesterification undergo thorough risk assessments by national and international authorities to ensure safety, particularly concerning its health effects.

Authors: Güneş Mehmet , Ersin Çağatay
Published: September 2024

In this study, the optimization of the parameters used in the engraving process of wooden birch plywood material with a CO2 laser machine was investigated using the Taguchi method. An industrial laser machine with a 150W glass tube was used during the experimental examination process. There are basic factors affecting the engraving process of wooden surfaces such as laser power (P), engraving speed (S) and laser head parts (F). The engraving depth (D) and engraving width formed on the surface during the engraving process are the main factors that determine the aesthetics of the product. Taguchi L25 orthogonal array was used in the experiments to determine and optimize the highly important parameters. The optimum combination of parameters in the laser engraving process was then evaluated. The research results showed that the effect of P and S factors played a leading role, and the F parameter had a small effect on the depth of wood scraping. Optimization results found that F:5, S:100 and P:30 gave the best engraving depth optimization, while F:6, S:300 and P:10 gave the lowest engraving depth optimization result.

Authors: K Veeraragavan , V Raman
Published: September 2024

The ancient Tamil society was cultured and rational. The Tamils were merciful and compassionate. There were people who eagerly helped to lift up the poor people. Society hailed them as philanthropists. The ancient man lived on food available wherever he went. After entering the confines of the family, he began to save the rest of the food he had eaten. Goods stored as surplus became wealth. This instilled in him status and respect in society. During the Sangam period, it was called generosity and charity. In today's world of emerging civilizations, it is very rare to see people helping each other. The goal of the study is to instil in modern society the sacrificial message that the ancient Tamil community gave to others by donating their clothes, possessions, the country they ruled, and so on.

Published: September 2024

According to WHO, reproductive health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not just the absence of disease or infirmity in all matters relating to the reproductive system and its functions and processes. Narcotics is an abbreviation for narcotics, psychotropic substances and other addictive substances. Narcotics are substances or drugs derived from plants or non-plants, either synthetic or semi-synthetic, which can cause a decrease or change in consciousness, loss of taste, reduce or eliminate pain, and cause dependence. This activity aims to implement health promotion and preventive efforts based on collaboration between professions regarding the provision of health education on the impact of drugs on adolescent reproductive health. The methods used are preparation stages, implementation stages, and activity evaluation. The result of implementing this activity was an increase in teenagers' knowledge and attitudes about the impact of drugs on reproductive health from not knowing to knowing. It was concluded that there is a need for regular outreach and involvement in many communities, health cadres, and schools. Through increasing this knowledge, it is hoped that teenagers can take preventive and proactive steps in preventing the dangers of drugs to health. This holistic approach involves collaboration with health workers, exploring local resources, and ensuring social support to support efforts to prevent and abuse drugs.

Hiperemesis gravidarum (HG) adalah kondisi mual dan muntah yang berlebihan selama kehamilan yang dapat berdampak negatif pada kesehatan dan kualitas hidup ibu hamil. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meninjau hubungan antara faktor psikologis, seperti depresi, kecemasan, dan stres, dengan kejadian HG melalui analisis studi literatur. Literatur diperoleh dari database PubMed dan Google Scholar, dengan kriteria inklusi penelitian yang relevan yang dipublikasikan dalam 5 tahun terakhir. Dari 12 studi yang diidentifikasi, hasil menunjukkan bahwa faktor psikologis secara signifikan berhubungan dengan peningkatan risiko HG. Depresi dan kecemasan, terutama jika telah ada sebelum kehamilan, ditemukan meningkatkan risiko HG. Selain itu, stres berperan dalam memperburuk gejala HG, yang dapat terkait dengan perubahan hormonal seperti peningkatan kadar kortisol. Oleh karena itu, pendekatan multidisiplin yang mencakup evaluasi psikologis dan intervensi yang tepat sangat diperlukan untuk pencegahan dan penanganan HG. Temuan ini menekankan pentingnya perhatian khusus terhadap kesehatan mental ibu hamil dalam upaya untuk mengurangi risiko HG.
Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) is a condition of excessive nausea and vomiting during pregnancy that can negatively impact the health and quality of life of pregnant women. This study aims to review the relationship between psychological factors, such as depression, anxiety, and stress, with the incidence of HG through an analysis of literature studies. The literature was obtained from the PubMed and Google Scholar databases, with the inclusion criteria of relevant studies published in the last 5 years. Of the 12 studies identified, the results showed that psychological factors were significantly associated with an increased risk of HG. Depression and anxiety, especially if they had existed before pregnancy, were found to increase the risk of HG. In addition, stress plays a role in worsening HG symptoms, which can be related to hormonal changes such as increased cortisol levels. Therefore, a multidisciplinary approach that includes psychological evaluation and appropriate intervention is needed for the prevention and management of HG. These findings emphasize the importance of special attention to the mental health of pregnant women in an effort to reduce the risk of HG.

Limbah feses sapi dan jerami padi merupakan sumber limbah organik yang sering diabaikan dan berpotensi mencemari lingkungan jika tidak dikelola dengan baik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi daya adaptasi cacing tanah Eisenia foetida terhadap media budidaya campuran feses sapi dan jerami padi, dengan fokus pada parameter pH media, kelembaban, dan suhu ruangan. Penelitian dilakukan menggunakan metode eksperimen deskriptif kuantitatif selama 30 hari di Laboratorium Biologi Universitas Pendidikan Mandalika. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa E. foetida mengalami tingkat kematian yang tinggi pada awal adaptasi, dengan angka kematian mencapai 100% pada hari pertama hingga kelima. Namun, cacing mulai menunjukkan adaptasi optimal pada hari kesepuluh, dengan tingkat kematian 0% hingga hari ketiga puluh. Berdasarkan hasil tersebut, disimpulkan bahwa media campuran feses sapi dan jerami padi memerlukan masa fermentasi sekitar 10 hari agar sesuai untuk budidaya E. foetida. Rekomendasi penelitian ini adalah pentingnya pengelolaan fermentasi media untuk memastikan adaptasi optimal cacing, yang pada gilirannya dapat meningkatkan efektivitas dalam pengolahan limbah organik dan produksi vermikompos yang berkualitas tinggi.
Adaptability of Earthworms (Eisenia foetida) to a Mixed Cultivation Medium of Cow Manure and Rice Straw
Abstract
Cow manure and rice straw are organic waste sources that are often neglected and have the potential to pollute the environment if not properly managed. This study aims to evaluate the adaptability of Eisenia foetida earthworms to a mixed cultivation medium of cow manure and rice straw, focusing on parameters such as pH, moisture, and room temperature. The research was conducted using a quantitative descriptive experimental method over 30 days at the Biology Laboratory of Universitas Pendidikan Mandalika. The results showed that E. foetida experienced a high mortality rate during the initial adaptation phase, with mortality reaching 100% from the first to the fifth day. However, the earthworms began to show optimal adaptation by the tenth day, with a 0% mortality rate through the thirtieth day. Based on these findings, it is concluded that a fermentation period of around 10 days is necessary for the cow manure and rice straw mixture to be suitable for E. foetida cultivation. The study recommends careful management of media fermentation to ensure optimal worm adaptation, which in turn can enhance the effectiveness of organic waste processing and the production of high-quality vermicompost.
