Authors: Moatkhef Fawzya , Ismail Hanaa , Agamy Neveen , Aborhyem Samar
Published: July 2020

Particular interest in selenium (Se) was generated as a result of clinical studies showing that balanced Se dietary system is very important for many physiological processes. There is no recent information available on the Se content in Egyptian foods. The present study was conducted to measure Se content in different food groups. A cross-sectional study was designed; a total of 87 food items were randomly purchased from the main markets and hypermarkets in Alexandria governorate, then digested by wet ashing procedure and finally analyzed using Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). The highest mean Se value was obtained in protein-rich food followed by nuts and sweetened products (6.8, 6.2, and 5.89 μg/g respectively) shrimps had the highest value among all studied samples (6.8 μg/g), while the lowest one was in soft cheese (0.0036 μg/g). Selenium content in food groups is strongly correlated with food matrix and composition of food items, soil composition, and fortification process.

Published: July 2020

PURPOSE:

Cancer-related fatigue is a prevalent, debilitating symptom that contributes to increased health care utilization among hospitalized patients. Music therapy is a nonpharmacological intervention that uses active (eg, singing, selecting songs) and passive (eg, listening) techniques. Preliminary evidence from small trials suggests a potential benefit for cancer-related fatigue in the inpatient setting; however, it remains unclear which techniques are most effective.

METHODS:

A cross-sectional mixed-methods study was performed to compare cancer-related fatigue before and after active or passive music therapy. Cancer-related fatigue was captured via the Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale fatigue item. Patients were asked to provide postsession free-text comments.

RESULTS:

A total of 436 patients (mean [standard deviation] age, 62.2 [13.4] years; n = 284 [65.1%] women; n = 294 [67.4%] white; active music therapy n = 360 [82.6%]; passive music therapy n = 76 [17.4%]) with a range of primary malignancies participated. Active music therapy was associated with a 0.88-point greater reduction in cancer-related fatigue (95% CI, 0.26 to 1.51; P = .006; Cohen’s D, 0.52) at postsession as compared with passive music therapy when restricting the analysis to patients who rated their baseline cancer-related fatigue as moderate to severe (ie, ≥ 4; n = 236 [54.1%]). Free-text responses confirmed higher frequencies of words describing positive affect/emotion among active music therapy participants.

CONCLUSIONS:

In a large sample of inpatient adults with diverse cancer disease types, active music therapy was associated with greater reduction in cancer-related fatigue and increased reporting of positive affect/emotions compared with passive music therapy. Additional research is warranted to determine the specific efficacy and underlying mechanisms of music therapy on cancer-related fatigue.
Urine Electrolytes in the Intensive Care Unit: From Pathophysiology to Clinical Practice
Authors: Umbrello Michele , Formenti Paolo , Chiumello Davide
Published: July 2020

Assessment of urine concentrations of sodium, chloride, and potassium is a widely available, rapid, and low-cost diagnostic option for the management of critically ill patients. Urine electrolytes have long been suggested in the diagnostic workup of hypovolemia, kidney injury, and acid-base and electrolyte disturbances. However, due to the wide range of normal reference values and challenges in interpretation, their use is controversial. To clarify their potential role in managing critical patients, we reviewed existing evidence on the use of urine electrolytes for diagnostic and therapeutic evaluation and assessment in critical illness. This review will describe the normal physiology of water and electrolyte excretion, summarize the use of urine electrolytes in hypovolemia, acute kidney injury, acid-base, and electrolyte disorders, and suggest some practical flowcharts for the potential use of urine electrolytes in daily critical care practice.
“Can’t You See I’m White?”
Authors: Ducille Ann
Published: July 2020

This essay was originally delivered as the keynote address at a conference on passing held at Vassar College in April of 2019. Titled “Quiet As It’s Kept: Passing Subjects, Contested Identities,” the conference was inspired by the legacy of Vassar’s first African American graduate, Anita Hemmings, who passed for white before being outed by her roommate shortly before graduation in 1897. DuCille maintains that the timeliness and importance of the conference theme are signaled by what both the media and the masses tout as the most diverse slate of candidates ever to vie for the office of president of the United States. Challenging the practical application of theoretical claims of race as a social construction, “Can’t You See I’m White?” explores the ways in which their racial and gender “difference” from the typical roster of white males seeking the presidency has made some of the candidates—most notably Senators Kamala Harris of California and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts—the subjects of unprecedented debates about identity, biology, and culture. These debates, which raise questions not only about who gets to be black or brown or red but also who gets to be American, duCille claims, take on even greater significance in the time of Trump and the rise of white nationalism.
Recent advances in understanding and managing pediatric rhabdomyosarcoma
Authors: Gartrell Jessica , Pappo Alberto
Published: July 2020

Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a high-grade malignant neoplasm, with a morphologic appearance mimicking that of developing skeletal muscle. Over the last 30 years, patient outcomes have improved with the incorporation of multimodal therapies, including chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery. The overall cure rates exceed 70%, with patients who have low-, intermediate-, and high-risk disease experiencing long-term survival rates of >90%, 70%, and <30%, respectively. Historically, RMS was classified according to histology; however, recent advances have revealed new molecular subgroups that allow us to more accurately identify high-, intermediate-, and low-risk disease. In this review, we discuss recent advances made in understanding RMS tumor biology and propose how this understanding can drive a new classification system that can guide clinical approaches for treatment de-escalation in patients with expected favorable outcomes and escalation for those with expected poor outcomes.

Poisons affecting the blood
Authors: Bates Nicola
Published: July 2020

Blood circulates as a liquid containing cells and numerous chemicals; it functions to transport nutrients, chemicals, oxygen and waste products to and from cells, and is involved in defence and wound repair to tissues. Numerous toxic substances can disrupt the normal function of the blood through various mechanisms resulting in clinical signs of poisoning. Some of the substances that commonly cause adverse effects on the blood in companion animals are described. These include onions and related food plants which cause oxidative damage to red blood cells and the formation of Heinz bodies, and zinc which causes haemolytic anaemia. Haemoglobin is also subject to oxidative damage from paracetamol metabolites resulting in the formation of methaemoglobin which is non-functioning, resulting in tissue hypoxia. Disruption of the clotting cascade by anticoagulant rodenticides results in delayed-onset haemorrhage and the drug 5-fluorouracil disrupts the formation of blood cells causing bone marrow depression.

Monolithic lasers on Si have long been anticipated as an enabler of full photonic integration, and significant progress in GeSn material development shows promise for such laser devices. While there are many reports focused on optically pumped lasers, in this work, we demonstrate electrically injected GeSn lasers on Si. We grew a GeSn/SiGeSn heterostructure diode on a Si substrate in a ridge waveguide laser device and tested it under pulsed conditions, giving consideration to the structure design to enhance the carrier and optical confinement. The peak linewidth of 0.13 nm (0.06 meV) and injection current curves indicated lasing, which was observed up to 100 K with emission peaks at 2300 nm. We recorded a threshold of

Published: July 2020

As cidades possuem a capacidade de gerar o seu clima próprio, decorrente das transformações de sua superfície em consonância com seus atributos geoecológicos. Nesse  contexto, o trabalho objetiva-se a analisar se o processo de urbanização, associado às mudanças nos padrões de uso e ocupação da terra foram capazes de alterar as condições térmicas no distrito de Carapina – Serra/ES, ao ponto de caracterizar no mesmo a existência de uma ilha de calor atmosférica. Para isso, utilizou-se transects fixos e móveis realizados no verão, sob atuação do sistema anticliclonal semi-fixo da América do Sul (ASAS). Os resultados mostram que as áreas mais aquecidas ficaram bem definidas nos períodos matutinos e vespertinos. Na análise noturna, o campo termal apresentou comportamento homogêneo. A maior amplitude térmica foi observada às 16h00min. De maneira geral, os pontos localizados na porção litorânea apresentaram temperaturas mais amenas em relação ao interior. O diagnóstico confirmou que as mudanças de uso e cobertura da terra, associadas às características do relevo local, bem como à dinâmica de brisas marítimas e terrestres, influenciam diretamente no comportamento térmico do ar atmosférico.

Se quisermos definir este Direito da Eficiência Energética em poucas palavras teremos de o caracterizar como abrangente e complexo. O nosso objectivo foi integrar num único volume a análise de todas as áreas jurídico-sectoriais que actualmente são abrangidas pela programação das políticas de eficiência energética e por isso o resultado final é abrangente. Procurámos atingir este desígnio juntando não apenas diversos contributos científicos, mas também diferentes visões, experiências e entendimentos do que é, do que pode ser e do que se espera que venha a ser mais esta especialização do “novo direito administrativo”. Queremos com isto alertar o leitor para o facto de estar perante textos que não apenas representam diferentes competências e diversas experiências profissionais, como ainda diferentes mundividências, pois a preocupação não se cingiu a procurar as complementaridades entre académicos e profissionais do sector, mas igualmente entre gerações. Este projecto permitiu assim aliar a valia científica, que agora é do conhecimento de todos, a um corpus imaterial que subjaz à urdidura destas páginas.

Late-onset sporadic Alzheimers disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disorder worldwide, yet present treatment options are still very limited. Modulating adult hippocampal neurogenesis (AHN) as a potential therapeutic target for AD has been explored. However, how the process is regulated in AD remains unclear, as studies show controversial results, arising mainly from models of the familial form. Hence, in the present work, aiming at characterizing AHN in a model of the initial stages of sporadic AD, male Wistar rats were intracerebroventricularly injected with an Aβ1-42 peptide solution. Behaviour tests carried out two weeks after the injection unexpectedly revealed no impact on locomotor activity (open field), anxious-related behaviour (elevated plus maze) or learning and memory performance (novel object recognition, Y-maze, Morris water maze). Assessment of neurogenic markers one month after 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine administration showed abnormally enhanced dendritic morphology of immature neurons in the dentate gyrus, while proliferation and neuronal differentiation were preserved. As brain-derived neurotrophic factor signalling has been shown to be compromised in the presence of Aβ due to the cleavage of TrkB full-length receptors, the levels of these receptors isoforms were evaluated. No evidence of cleavage was found at 3 or 14 days post-Aβ-infusion. Consistently, the levels of Aβ1-42 species were unaltered at these timepoints, as was the number of astrocytes and microglia. Overall, although this model has been previously described as a model of sporadic AD, the expected behavioural, cellular or molecular phenotypes were not observed, further highlighting the variability of results found in the literature.
Blood Brain Barrier Breakdown Following Topical Aldara Treatment
Authors: Suessmilch Maria , Bourgognon Julie-Myrtille , Cavanagh Jonathan
Published: July 2020

Brain inflammation markers are present in several psychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders like major depressive disorder, Alzheimers disease and schizophrenia. Inflammation is also linked to sickness behaviour (social withdrawal, decreased appetite, impaired concentration, irritability), a mechanism by which the body redirects its resources to fight infection and encourage wound healing. The topical application of Aldara triggers systemic type I and II interferon and pro-inflammatory cytokine production, immune cell infiltration into the skin and hyperkeratosis and has been used as a model of psoriasis since 2009(1). We have recently reported that Imiquimod, the active component of Aldara, can enter the brain within 4 hours of topical application(2) and induces a transcriptional interferon and chemokine response in the brain, along with the infiltration of immune cells, a reduction in hippocampal neurogenesis and a reduction in burrowing behaviour(3). To allow us to understand the mechanisms of immune cell entry into the brain following topical Aldara treatment, we investigated blood brain barrier (BBB) integrity using a number of experimental techniques.

The article is devoted to functional aspects of international tourism development. Substantial lagging in the functional provision of the development of the international tourism market has been established due to such negative aspects as the lack of planned measures, substantial accumulation of tourist flows, absence of relevant security of tourists, incompliance of infrastructure, illegal labor migration, and an increase in the number of force majeure events. All these factors make it necessary to expand a network of travel agencies so that they are able to cooperate with public authorities. It has been proven that international tourism has become a key segment of the modern global market, in the structure of which tourism services play a key role. The impressive scope of international tourism operations has been identified, spanning most countries of the world and drawing close attention to the problems related to the regulation of international tourism services at all levels (national, supranational, and global).

The authors consider the importance of studying the historical process of creating negative or neutral images of Russia among European residents, based on the historiographical analysis of the sources of the 13th-19th centuries, which in the current context directly influences the demand and interest in tours to the country. The article offers and discusses in detail the mechanisms of tourist image building of the country in its two aspects – subjective and objective. It is noted that any person's image of a particular country without having visited it directly can be considered subjective, and be potentially attractive, neutral, or repellent. The negative image of Russia in the public perception of European residents over a long historical period is now expressed in its negative tourist image and fears of a possible tourist trip to the country. The article describes the technology of applying the historiographical analysis in the practice of training and retraining of industry professionals who are trained in technologies for designing tourist images of the country's regions. The article presents methods and forms of working with historical sources to identify ideas about the hospitality traditions and tourist images of Russia, described in the works of foreign travelers of the 13th-19th centuries. Descriptions of the peoples of Russia, their life and customs contained in these works, built the image perception of the country in the minds of European residents, in some cases with extrapolation effect to the modern era. The article states the empirical effectiveness of using historiographical analysis technologies to assess the causes and consequences of building a negative or neutral tourist image of Russia among foreign tourists, conditioned by the trends of its descriptions in historical sources. The conclusion is made that it is necessary to develop marketing strategies to overcome negative images and perceptions of Russia among potential consumers of its tour programs.

This study investigates the effect of selected factors on the choice of tourist sites in Jordan. These selected factors form the basis for the satisfaction level of American tourist visiting Petra and Mount Nebo. The selected factors are chosen based on the perception of quality of services by American tourists who are focused on three main factors of “destination services” related to “accommodation, facilities at destination and the travel agency”. The opinions and feedbacks of the tourist guides were analysed to provide more insight into the satisfaction level of the American tourist. Specific questionnaires were distributed among American tourists via 10 travel agencies to gather data. Besides, all the tourist guides who supported this study were interviewed for cross-checking purposes. The findings suggested the Americans were generally satisfied with their vacation to Petra and Mount Nebo except for cleanliness at the nearby towns and the sites. This paper seeks to provide data on the satisfaction level of American tourists and the factors that need to be prioritized to enhance higher level of customer satisfaction. This will further improve the destination services for a particular tourist site. Besides, stakeholders need to further improve their tourism aspects to enhance tourist satisfaction.
Poland’s policy towards membership in the Economic and Monetary Union
Authors: Kołodziejczyk Katarzyna
Published: July 2020

Poland’s accession to the European Union determines future membership in the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). The subject of the research is the analysis of Polish policy towards EMU membership during the first 15 years of Poland’s membership in the EU. The research is political nature and intentionally does not focus on the economic benefits and challenges associated with Poland’s membership in the EMU.

The aim of research is to focus on changes taking place in the policy towards Poland’s membership in the EMU conducted by the ruling parties, successively by the coalition of the Civic Platform (PO) and the Polish People’s Party (PSL) – PO-PSL in years 2007–2015 and then by the Law and Justice (PiS) in years 2005–2007 in consultation with the Self-Defence (Samoobrona RP) and the League of Polish Families (LPR) as well as 2015–2019 in the coalition with the Jarosław Gowin’s Agreement (Porozumienie Jarosława Gowina) and Zbigniew Ziobro’s Solidary Poland (Solidarna Polska).

The main research questions relate to how has Poland’s membership in the EMU been perceived by the ruling parties since 2004 and what are the reasons for the fact that joining the eurozone by Poland until recently had been the strategic goal of the ruling elite of the country, and nowadays the strategic goal has become non-entry into the EMU.

The main research methods were the analysis of the content of documents and a comparative method. The first method allowed presenting the perspective of Poland’s entry into the euro area from the side of the ruling parties policy. That is why the text was mainly based on source materials, i.e. reports, government documents, political speeches, party election programs and press articles. The second research method allowed to compare the concept of Poland’s membership in the EMU presented in various programs of the ruling political parties.

The result of the conducted research indicates the radicalisation of the views of the Polish political scene. It also proves that date of adoption of the single European currency depends not only on meeting the convergence criteria, but also on which political option will rule in Poland.

Published: July 2020

The noise of dental turbines is mainly correlated with the anxiety and discomfort of patients and the work safety of the dental professionals. Rotational speed, torque, airflow, and noise have an essential role in the proper performance of dental air turbines. This work aimed to address the following question: how do rotational speed, torque, and airflow correlate with noise in dental high-speed handpieces? Three new air turbines of nine different commercial brands were essayed for rotational speed, torque, noise level (A-weighting), and airflow in agreement with ISO 14457:2017, Dentistry – Handpieces and Motors (27 handpieces) 3 times a day and for 5 days under controlled air pressure. One-way analysis of variance and Tukey’s test (α = 0.05) showed differences among brands for speed, torque, noise, and airflow (210.17–397.93 kr/min, 0.03–0.15 N·cm, 68.80–82.16 dB, and 29.6–37.8 L/min, respectively). Speed (r =–0.7) and airflow (r = –0.6) showed an inverse correlation with noise: the higher the speed, the higher the airflow and the lower the noise. Torque showed no correlation with the speed (r = –0.1). As a conclusion, dental handpieces achieving the maximum airflow and speed can produce lower noise.
Scientific Hypothesis-Testing Strengthens Neuroscience Research
Authors: Alger Bradley E.
Published: July 2020

Science needs to understand the strength of its findings. This essay considers the evaluation of studies that test scientific (not statistical) hypotheses. A scientific hypothesis is a putative explanation for an observation or phenomenon; it makes (or “entails”) testable predictions that must be true if the hypothesis is true and that lead to its rejection if they are false. The question is, “how should we judge the strength of a hypothesis that passes a series of experimental tests?” This question is especially relevant in view of the “reproducibility crisis” that is the cause of great unease. Reproducibility is said to be a dire problem because major neuroscience conclusions supposedly rest entirely on the outcomes of single,pvalued statistical tests. To investigate this concern, I propose to (1) ask whether neuroscience typically does base major conclusions on single tests; (2) discuss the advantages of testing multiple predictions to evaluate a hypothesis; and (3) review ways in which multiple outcomes can be combined to assess the overall strength of a project that tests multiple predictions of one hypothesis. I argue that scientific hypothesis testing in general, and combining the results of several experiments in particular, may justify placing greater confidence in multiple-testing procedures than in other ways of conducting science.

Insulin-like growth factor 1 triggers salt secretion machinery in fish under acute salinity stress

Timely adjustment of osmoregulation upon acute salinity stress is essential for the survival of euryhaline fish. This rapid response is thought to be tightly controlled by hormones; however, there are still questions unanswered. In this work, we tested the hypothesis that the endocrine hormone, insulin-like growth factor 1 (Igf1), a slow-acting hormone, is involved in the activation of salt secretion mechanisms in euryhaline medaka (Oryzias melastigma) during acclimation to acute salinity stress. In response to a 30-ppt seawater (SW) challenge, Na+/Cl− secretion was enhanced within 0.5 h, with concomitant organization of ionocyte multicellular complexes and without changes in expression of major transporters. Igf1 receptor inhibitors significantly impair the Na+/Cl− secretion and ionocyte multicellular complex responses without affecting transporter expression. Thus, Igf1 may activate salt secretion as part of the teleost response to acute salinity stress by exerting effects on transporter function and enhancing the formation of ionocyte multicellular complexes. These findings provide new insights into hormonal control of body fluid ionic/osmotic homeostasis during vertebrate evolution.
