The aim of the study was to evaluate radiographic clearance and clinical outcomes in patients over age 80 who undergo SQUID 18 embolization of the middle meningeal artery (MMA) for the management of chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH). From April 2020 to October 2021, data were obtained from patients with cSDH who underwent MMA embolization at our institution. Clinical and radiological data including pre-operative and last follow-up CT scans were analyzed. Six embolization procedures were performed in five patients using SQUID 18, a liquid embolic agent. The median age was 83 years, and three subjects were female. Two of the six cases were recurrent hematomas. MMA embolization was achieved in 100% of cases. The median diameter of the hematoma at admission was 20 mm and at last follow-up was 5.3 mm, demonstrating statistically significant radiographic clearance (P = 0.043). There were no intra or post-operative complications. Mortality was not noted during observation period. SQUID MMA embolization safely and significantly reduced the hematoma diameter and offers an alternative treatment in patients older than 80 years with cSDH.

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is no longer considered solely a glucose-centric condition, but rather a chronic cardiometabolic disease that is linked to premature cardiovascular and renal complications and early death. Whereas previously, the level of glycemic control drove management decisions regarding treatment intensification, healthcare providers now have newer classes of agents that not only effectively lower glucose levels but also reduce the long-term risk of cardiovascular and renal complications. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) address several of the progressive multiorgan dysfunctions associated with T2D and a number of GLP-1RAs have been shown to reduce the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events in people with established cardiovascular disease or in those at high cardiovascular risk; GLP-1RAs (or a cardioprotective sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor) should be considered in these high-risk patients regardless of their glycated hemoglobin goal attainment status. GLP-1RAs also facilitate substantial weight loss and there is some evidence that they may help to restore β-cell function and slow the decline of kidney function, although further studies are needed to confirm this.

Cannabis and non-cannabis unintentional poisonings were compared using difference of squares and Fisher’s exact test. Results: There were fifty-two unintentional poisonings during the study period, with a mean age of 2.45 years (SD 2.11). Thirty one percent (n=16) were cannabis related, with edibles accounting for at least 63% (n=10) of those admissions. More than 40 percent were transferred from rural communities with an average transport distance of 160 kilometers. Over 18% (n=3) percent were admitted to PICU with no requirement for intubation or vasoactive medications. Conclusions: Since legalization, one third of Saskatchewan’s pediatric unintentional poisonings were due to cannabis, largely from edible ingestions. An increased public awareness and federal government initiatives may attenuate the risk of these ingestions.

Microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (uPADs) are indispensable tools for disease diagnostics. The integration of electronic components into uPADs enables new device functionalities and facilitates the development of complex quantitative assays. Unfortunately, current electrode fabrication methods often hinder capillary flow, considerably restricting uPAD design architectures. Here, we present laser-induced graphenization as an approach to fabricate porous electrodes embedded into cellulose paper. The resulting electrodes not only have high conductivity and electrochemical activity, but also retain wetting properties for capillary transport. We demonstrate paper-based electrofluidics, including (i) a lateral flow device for injection analysis of alkaline phosphatase in serum and (ii) a vertical flow device for quantitative detection of HPV16 with a CRISPR-based assay. We expect that this platform will streamline the development of diagnostic devices that combine the operational simplicity of colorimetric lateral flow tests with the added benefits and possibilities offered by electronic signaling.
Machine learning determination of new Hammett's constants for meta- and para-substituted benzoic acid derivatives employing quantum chemical atomic charge methods
Authors: Monteiro-de-Castro Gabriel , Duarte Julio Cesar , Borges Jr. Itamar
Published: February 2023

Hammett's constants quantify the electron or electron acceptor power of a chemical group bonded to an aromatic ring. Their experimental values have been successfully used in a large variety of applications, but some of them may have inconsistent values or were not measured. For this reason, developing an accurate and consistent set of Hammett's values is paramount. In this work, we employed the machine learning (ML) regression algorithms Decision Tree Regressor, the neural network Multilayer Perceptron Regressor, and Lasso Lars IC in a cross-validation (CV) approach combined with quantum chemical calculations of atomic charges to estimate theoretically the new Hammett's constants for 90 chemical donor or acceptor groups by employing different types of quantum chemical atomic charges of the groups as input properties. New 219 sigma values, including previously unknown ones, are proposed for 90 chemical donor or acceptor groups by employing different types of quantum chemical atomic charges of the groups as input properties. The different substituent groups were bonded to benzene and meta- and para-substituted benzoic acid derivatives. Among the investigated atomic charge methods (Mulliken, Lwdin, Hirshfeld, and ChelpG), Hirshfeld's method showed the best regressions for most of the different kinds of sigma values. For each type of Hammett constant, linear expressions depending only on the atomic charges of the group were obtained. Correlation coefficients as high as 0.945, mean squared errors (MSE) as low as 0.004, and root mean square errors (RMSE) as low 0.062, were found. The ML approach, in most cases, showed very close predictions to the original experimental values, with the values from meta- and para-substituted benzoic acid derivatives showing the most accurate values. A new consistent set of Hammetts constants is presented, as well as simple equations for predicting new values for groups not included in the original set of 90.

The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has increased the demand for low-cost, portable and rapid biosensors, driving huge research efforts toward new nanomaterial-based approaches with high sensitivity. Many of them employ antibodies as bioreceptors, which have a costly development process requiring animal facilities. Recently, sybodies emerged as an alternative new class of synthetic binders/receptors with high antigen binding efficiency, improved chemical stability, and lower production costs via animal-free methods. Their smaller size is an important asset to consider in combination with ultrasensitive field-effect transistors (FETs) as transducers, which respond more intensely when the biorecognition occurs in close proximity to their surface. This work demonstrates the immobilization of sybodies against the spike protein of the virus on silicon surfaces, which are often the integral part of the semiconducting channel of FETs. Immobilized sybodies maintain the capability to capture antigens even at low concentrations in the femtomolar range, as observed by fluorescence microscopy. Finally, the first proof-of-concept of sybody-modified FET sensing is provided, using a nanoscopic silicon net as the sensitive area where the sybodies are immobilized. The future development of further sybodies against other biomarkers and their generalization in biosensors could be critical to decrease the cost of biodetection platforms in future pandemics.

Authors: Hsieh Benjamin , Wu Lai-Chin , Grosjean Arnaud
Published: February 2023

The program FleX (Flexural deformation for Xtals) has been developed for a quick, easy and accurate evaluation of the maximum deformation reached in flexible crystals from a simple optical microscope picture. The program takes advantage of computer vision libraries to find a bent crystals contours and fit the contours to semicircles. It can, then, calculate its theoretical maximum deformation along its long axis using equations from the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory.
Spectrophotometric Measurement of Lithium in Human Saliva Using the Chromogenic Reagent Thorin
Authors: Levitt, MD, PhD* Stephen Robert
Published: February 2023

This study explored the feasibility of using the chromogenic dye Thorin to spectrophotometrically measure the lithium concentration in human saliva. The absorbance wavelength maximum of the Li-Thorin complex was determined to be 480 nm. Lithium concentrations were measured spectrophotometrically at 480 nm in human pooled saliva with lithium added to produce calibration standards of 0.00-5.29 mEq/L of lithium, which corresponds to a blood lithium range of 0.00-2.60 mEq/L, assuming a saliva/blood ratio of 2/1. A least-squares fit of the absorbance vs lithium concentration calibration data produced a regression equation y = 0.128x + 1.449 with correlation coefficient = 0.997. This regression equation was then used to predict lithium concentrations from absorbance data in prepared lithium/saliva test solutions and in hospitalized patients being treated with lithium. The results generally agreed well with those determined by atomic absorption spectroscopy. By measuring absorbance of test saliva vs reagent blank containing the same amount of saliva, interfering effects of saliva protein and electrolytes in the test samples were avoided. This study supports the continued exploration of this method as a non-invasive point-of-care testing approach for monitoring saliva lithium during lithium treatment.
IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON WHEAT PRODUCTIVITY: A REVIEW
Authors: Subedi Swastika , Khadka Puja
Published: February 2023

Wheat is a crop consist of 15 grams of protein, 10.6 grams of dietary fiber, 71.2 grams of carbohydrates, and 38 milligrams of calcium. In the context of Nepal, it lies in the 3rd position as a cultivation crop. In 2020, wheat production for Nepal was 2,210 thousand tonnes. Wheat production in Nepal increased from 193 thousand tonnes in 1971 to 2,210 thousand tonnes in 2020 growing at an average annual rate of 5.73% but due to changes in climatic parameters productivity ratio are affected. Stem prolongation and tiller development were destroyed by minimum temperature in the earlier vegetative phase whereas the maximum temperature in the heading phase hampered wheat grain filling and panicle development. Rainfall decreased wheat yield, LAI (leaf area index), and plant height. Similarly, CO2 concentration and solar radiation have an impact on the yield of wheat also which is given in this article. Further studies are require to overcome the negative aspect of climatic change towards the plant development either from germination to yield period.
THE PLACE OF SUPPLEMENTARY IRRIGATION: AGRICULTURE AND SUSTAINABLE RURAL TRANSFORMATION STRATEGY IN A CHANGING CLIMATE: A REVIEW
Authors: Fletcher Nyarko Lawrence , Lafia N’Gobi Gnanki Mariam
Published: February 2023

Farmer productivity has been experiencing some decline for some decades now. There is some evidence that internal push factors such as conflicts, policy failure have affected productivity, Climate change impacts have contributed greatly to the decline in yield making rural farmers the most affected. Climate Smart Agriculture however presents nouvelle community-based approaches for farmers to adapt and mitigate these impacts of climate change on their production whiles improving their incomes. This review paper models a supplementary irrigation system as a solution to the crop water stress caused by climate change. The system provided the required water to the crops resulting in optimal development and improved yields of the rice farm it was modelled for. The paper used data from Tungan Macheri community in Kebbi state, Nigeria and climate data of 1987 to model the supplementary irrigation system for a 0.5 hector rice farm. CLIMWAT and CROPWAT tools from FAO were used to obtain some climatic parameters in relation to farming, generate the various developmental stages of the rice crop and their corresponding crop factor (kc) values. The Blaney-Criddle approach was used to calculate the water requirements of the crop. A 13.41m3 surface reservoir will be sufficient to provide the right amount of water to the 0.5 hector rice farm for optimum productivity. This reservoir will be supplied from rainfall runoff from a watershed area of 14,184.41m2.
Exploring the Face of the City
Authors: Posokhov Sergiy
Published: February 2023

The book entitled “Exploring the Face of the City: Self-Representation Practices of Ukrainian Cities in the Industrial and Post-Industrial Age” (Kharkiv, 2021) was published at the end of 2021. It is devoted to the study of some theoretical and practical issues of urbanism. The main focus is on the symbolic spaces and cultural landscapes of five large cities of Eastern and Southern Ukraine — Dnipro, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Odesa, and Kharkiv. The authors of the book are participants of the scientific project “CityFace: Practices of self-representation of multinational cities in the industrial and post-industrial age” (https://cityface.org.ua/), which was supported by the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies. They consider these cities as centers of socio-cultural interaction and various innovations, as dynamic systems that are constantly changing, searching for their own relevant “face.” The central place in the book belongs to the study of the practices of self-representation of cities (the use of symbols and emblems, the formation of a pantheon of local heroes, the celebration of “significant” events, etc.), as well as options for articulating certain achievements, features of the city and its citizens, that is, ideas that are able to rally the urban community around certain ideological constructions (self-stereotypes). In this regard, the authors were interested in places of collective memory, commemorative and ritual practices, the process of symbolic coding and recoding of urban space. This approach allows us to get closer to understanding the specifics of micro-regional identities, which is considered a very relevant scientific task today. The publication is intended for everyone who is interested in the history and current state of socio-cultural processes in Ukraine. In this case, the introduction to this book is published, which has been translated into English, with the hope that this text will attract additional attention of readers to the book.
