Authors: Goel Aditya , Singh Shivendra , Shukla Navin K. , Yadav Abhijeet
Published: July 2023

ABSTRACT

Background:

Caudal epidural steroid injections are the popular treatment for patients with chronic low back aches (LBA) and radiculopathy, pain that radiates down the legs. These injections are typically given in the lower back, and their purpose is to reduce inflammation and pain caused by a herniated disc or other issues in the lumbosacral spine. Studies have generally found that caudal epidural steroid injections effectively manage chronic LBP, although they may not provide long-term relief in all cases. It is essential to remember that these injections should be combined with other forms of conservative management, such as physical therapy, before considering more invasive interventions.

Materials and Methods:

A prospective analysis is performed at the Orthopedics Department At The Hind Institute Of Medical Sciences In Sitapur, Uttar Pradesh, India, over two years. In the study, 80 patients with chronic low back pain and symptoms that did not improve with conservative therapies. The patients are clinically examined before and after receiving a cervical epidural steroid injection (CESI) based on their ability to perform daily activities and work using the Oswestry disability index (ODI) and visual analog scale (VAS).

Results:

The experiment was conducted with 165 CESI administered to 120 patients. A single injection is given to 85 patients; two injections are given to 25 patients, and 10 patients receive three injections. Of the 120 patients, 50 were male, and 70 were female, all of whom had chronic LBA. Of the 120 cases of LBA, 37 were diagnosed with lumbar disc herniation, 11 with lumbar canal stenosis, and 22 with degenerative disc disease. The remaining 50 cases were classified as non-specific LBA. Follow-up evaluations were conducted 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months after that, till 12 months of treatment. The mean pre-CESI VAS score was 7.11, and the mean post-CESI VAS score was 4.82 after one year of treatment. The mean ODI score before CESI treatment was 59.12; after CESI treatment for a full year, it was 44.64. We observed excellent outcomes in 27.5% of patients, good outcomes in 38.33%, fair outcomes in 21.67%, and bad outcomes in 12.5% of patients.

Conclusion:

Patients who experience chronic function aches can dramatically reduce their discomfort with the help of CESIs.
Application of transcranial brain stimulation in dementia

ABSTRACT

The number of patients with dementia grows rapidly as the global population ages, which posits tremendous health-care burden to the society. Only cholinesterase inhibitors and a N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist have been approved for treating patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and their clinical effects remained limited. Medical devices serve as an alternative therapeutic approach to modulating neural activities and enhancing cognitive function. Four major brain stimulation technologies including deep brain stimulation (DBS), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), and transcranial ultrasound stimulation (TUS) have been applied to AD in a clinical trial setting. DBS allows electrical stimulation at the specified nucleus but remains resource-demanding, and after all, an invasive surgery; whereas TMS and tDCS are widely available and affordable but less ideal with respect to localization. The unique physical property of TUS, on the other hand, allows both thermal and mechanical energy to be transduced and focused for neuromodulation. In the context of dementia, using focused ultrasound to induce blood-brain barrier opening for delivering drugs and metabolizing amyloid protein has drawn great attention in recent years. Furthermore, low-intensity pulsed ultrasound has demonstrated its neuroprotective effects in both in vitro and in vivo studies, leading to ongoing clinical trials for AD. The potential and limitation of transcranial brain stimulation for treating patients with dementia would be discussed in this review.

A comparison analysis using the MCDM technique using Hydrogel-Based Drug Delivery Nanoparticles as Traditional Therapeutic Approaches to Cancer Tumors
Authors: Srinivas Rao N
Published: July 2023

Uncontrolled division of abnormal cells in a particular region of the body leads to cancer, a disease that worsens or kills off cells. This could result in the recipient carrier dying. The majority of cancer patient deaths have been associated with the systematic administration of therapeutic agents (chemotherapy) and other conventional methods, which is the preferred treatment approach for cancer therapy. The mortality of this therapy is associated with side effects, off-target accumulation, toxicity, and rapid renal and hepatic clearance. Scientists have recently studied tumor site targeting and better retention of constant drug delivery to tumors in order to minimize side effects and toxicity-related challenges. Ingenious drug delivery methods for cancer therapy have been developed by scientists and researchers using water-containing polymers known as hydrogels. These drug transport systems' network-like structure and biological tissue-like consistency allow the drugs loaded into them to remain in a relatively stable condition. This study compares hydrogel-based drug delivery systems with other conventional cancer therapy approaches using the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) way of multicriteria decision making (MCDM). Based on specific criteria with given importance weights, a comparison is made. This study shows that by offering additional alternatives and criteria with availability and significance weights, the approach taken can be made more helpful and helpful in offering remedies to healthcare decision-makers facing ambiguous problems. Individual cancer sufferers' specific medical conditions.
Effect of aqueous ozone treatment on some quality changes of vacuum-packed meagre (Argyrosomus regius) fillets
Authors: GENÇ Ismail Y. , KAYHAN Muhammet H.
Published: July 2023

In this study, microbiological, sensory and color changes in vacuum-packed meagre fillets treated with aqueous ozone for different periods of time were investigated. Meagre fillets were treated with ozone for 15 (O-15) and 30 (O-30) minutes and vacuum-packed and stored at +2 °C for 12 days. Control group (C) was not treated with ozone and stored after vacuum packaging. For microbiological changes, Total Mesophilic Aerobic Bacteria (TMAB), Pseudomonas sp., Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) and Total Psychrophilic Aerobic Bacteria (TPAB) counts were analyzed. At the end of storage, the highest bacterial counts were found in group C (>7.00 log cfu/g). In ozone-treated samples, Pseudomonas sp. counts did not exceed 7.00 log cfu/g only in the O-30 group. In the sensory evaluation of the samples, it was determined that the total demerit points were 18 points for group C, 16.25 points for O-15 and 14.75 points for O-30 at the end of storage over 30. No significant change was found according to the color results of the samples, but at the end of storage, it was observed that the L value of the ozone-treated samples was higher and the samples had a lighter color. In the conclusion of the results, it was observed that ozone treatment prolonged the shelf life of vacuum-packed meagre fillets for 4 days for the O-30 group compared to control and O-15 group without causing the sensory and color loss.

Published: July 2023

La merluza negra (Dissostichus eleginoides) es un pez demersal presente en el hemisferio sur, muy valioso comercialmente. Por ello, comprender los movimientos en diferentes escalas temporales y espaciales contribuiría a conocer más acerca del comportamiento que presenta la especie en la plataforma patagónica argentina y chilena. Desde 2004, el Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Desarrollo Pesquero (INIDEP, Argentina), inició un programa de marcado y recaptura de D. eleginoides. Un total de 5.907 ejemplares, en su mayoría juveniles (< 82 cm de largo total), fueron marcados y liberados en sectores ubicados en aguas del borde de la plataforma y talud de la Argentina entre 37° S y 47° S (Sector norte del caladero argentino), y al este de la Isla de los Estados y sur de Tierra del Fuego (54° S-57° S -Sector sur del caladero argentino). Actualmente, fueron recapturados 121 ejemplares, 25 (20,7%) se recuperaron en el Sector norte, 84 (69,4%) en el Sector sur y 12 (9,9%) en aguas del Océano Pacífico en Chile. El 67,5% fue recapturado a menos de 20 mn (37 km) del lugar de liberación y 15% recorrió distancias inferiores a las 120 mn. Una fracción menor (5%) recorrió distancias entre 120 y 400 mn y solo 12,5% se recapturó a más de 400 mn. Mediante un Modelo Aditivo Generalizado se determinó que las variables Días en libertad, Sector y Época de marcado influyeron en la distancia recorrida de los ejemplares. A partir del presente trabajo, parece evidente que la especie en el cono sur americano carece de desplazamientos migratorios regulares que involucren a una parte significativa del stock.

Bangladesh has experienced a sharp rise in cases during the third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. This study investigates chest computed tomography (CT) and clinical findings of COVID-19 patients in Bangladesh. It is a single-centred cross-sectional study conducted at Chittagong Ma O Shishu Hospital. In total, 242 COVID-19 patients were recruited between June 2020 and July 2021 from a tertiary hospital in Chittagong, Bangladesh—most patients had a fever (90%) and cough (74.7%). Only a few patients had dyspnoea (13.3%), body aches (3.6%), sore throat (0.4%), fatigue (0.8%), diarrhoea (1.2%), headache (2%), and anosmia (2%). Most (91.3%) patients had abnormal CT image findings. Findings revealed that 89.6% had bilateral lung patchy opacities, 84.3% had ground glass opacities and crazy paving appearance, 29.3% had consolidation, and 16.9% had traction bronchiectasis. Clinical features, i.e., fever (93.7%) and cough (78.3%), were significantly more common (P<0.05) among those with positive radiological findings compared to those with negative radiological findings. However, this found that patients with negative radiological findings were more likely to have body aches (4.8%) than those with positive radiological findings (P=0.012). Most patients had lung involvement. There was no statistically significant difference in the demographic and patient comorbidities between these two radiological groups. A Chest CT scan was the best radiological option for detecting the progression of COVID-19 in high-risk and low-risk groups to initiate early clinical management and prevent complications during the pandemic.

Published: July 2023

Clitoria ternatea, also famously known as the blue pea flower (local name: bunga telang), has attracted interest among researchers due to its plethora of biological and pharmacological properties. It is rich in anthocyanin and widely used as a natural food colourant. However, the poor stability of active compounds may affect the therapeutic benefits and limit their application in the pharmaceutical and food industries. Hence, this work aims to study the effects of microwave encapsulation on the anthocyanins, antioxidants, and total phenolic content of Clitoria ternatea flower extract (CTFE). Microwave-assisted encapsulation (MAEC) was carried out at three different powers (300, 450, and 600 W) with different formulations of Gum Arabic (GA) and Maltodextrin Dextrose (MD) as carrier materials from 40% to 70% w/v. The total phenolic content (TPC), antioxidant activity, and anthocyanins in encapsulates were analysed for the formulations. The findings showed that increased microwave power increased TPC and antioxidant activity (P<0.05). However, adding carrier materials concentration above 60% reduced TPC and the antioxidant activity of microwave-encapsulated anthocyanin from CTFE. The best microwave-assisted encapsulation conditions of CTFE were found at 600 W microwave power with 50% w/v carrier materials GA/MD (ratio 1:1) concentration. The retention of anthocyanins, antioxidant activity, and TPC increased significantly (P<0.05) with increased microwave power and lower concentration of carrier materials. The MAEC approach to enhance the stability of anthocyanin in CTFE presents a high potential to expand its application as a high-value-added natural colourant.

Authors: Tabassum Samiya , Beaumont Linda J. , Shabani Farzin , Staas Leigh , Griffiths Gwilym , Ossola Alessandro , Leishman Michelle R.
Published: July 2023

Background

Use of vegetation in urban areas for climate change adaptation is becoming increasingly important; however, urban vegetation is itself vulnerable to the effects of climate change. Better understanding of which species will survive and thrive in urban areas with projected climate change will increase confidence in choosing climate-ready species for resilient urban greening outcomes. Plant selector tools based on the suitability of species for future climates, however, are lacking.

Methods

The Which Plant Where plant selector webtool (www.whichplantwhere.com.au) was created by combining sophisticated species distribution models and trait and environmental tolerance data from a variety of sources to allow users to select appropriate species which are climatically suitable for Australian urban environments for 3 different time periods (2030, 2050, and 2070). The tool allows users to calculate co-benefits afforded by planting palettes and offers suggestions for alternative species based on climate suitability to help diversify plantings and provide options where substitutions may have to be made.

Results

The tool contains information for over 2,500 unique plant entries (encompassing species, subspecies, cultivars, varieties, and hybrids) from 9 different growth forms (trees, shrubs, palms, ferns, cycads, climbers, succulents, grass, and herbs). The tool contains many resources to design and maintain resilient urban green spaces, from the planning stage up to monitoring and maintenance.

Conclusion

Which Plant Where was designed to allow practitioners and urban forest managers to confidently identify climate-ready species now to ensure urban green spaces remain diverse and resilient into the future.
In Search of the St. Louis Mound Group: Archaeoastronomic and Landscape Archaeology Implications
Authors: Romain William Francis
Published: July 2023

The Cahokia Mound Group in Illinois, USA, is acknowledged as the largest Native American city north of Mexico. It flourished during the Mississippian Period. Cahokia, however, was only one of three complexes in the immediate area. Located across the Mississippi River from Cahokia, the St. Louis Mound Group was part of the larger complex.The St. Louis Mound Group featured at least 25 earthen mounds including the so-called Big Mound that contained dozens of human burials.In the 1800s the St. Louis Mound Group was leveled to allow for urban expansion. Few records are in existence documenting the location or other details concerning the group. As a result, an important part of prehistory seems lost.  In this paper the likely location for the St. Louis Mound Group is identified using survey plats from the 1850s, early lithographs and other data. Findings are assessed for astronomical alignments and landscape relationships, with possible cosmological implications noted.
The De XII abusiuis saeculi
Authors: Mews Constant J. , Joyce Stephen J.
Published: July 2023

This chapter considers both the scriptural and patristic influences shaping the core themes of the De XII abusiuis saeculi and the diffusion of its text between the late eighth and sixteenth centuries. It considers how abusio and abusiua, traditionally understood as misuse of words, were expanded in meaning in this work to refer to abusive behaviour. It introduces the literary context of its composition in seventh-century Ireland, before examining the diffusion of the text on the continent, not just through its being quoted in the canon law collection known as Hibernensis, but through being copied as a work of Cyprian (dominant in the Carolingian period) or of Augustine (increasingly common in the twelfth century).
The Cross-cultural Structural Validity of the Big Five Personality Inventory (BFI-10) in a South African Sample
Authors: Ndofirepi Takawira , Steyn Renier
Published: July 2023

The study sought to assess the structural validity of the 10-item measure of the B5P instrument in the South African context. World Values Survey data, collected in South Africa (N = 3 531), were analysed using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, to ascertain the factorial structure of the data, including across sub-groups, focusing on measurement invariance. The theorised factorial structure of the B5P survey did not mirror the theorised structure in the South African sample. This was demonstrated in the inspection report, as well as in the tests of measurement invariance. Even sub-groups, typifying the Westernised, educated, industrialised, wealthy, and democratic part of the South African society, did not provide structures that mirrored the theorised model. The assumption that well-established instruments are valid in settings, different to the one where they were initially developed in, should be questioned, and such instruments should not be used, unless thoroughly tested.

Examinations of seabirds from oil spills provide resource managers demographic and trauma related data that inform damage assessments for affected species. We examined black skimmers (Rynchops niger; n = 49) from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill for demographics, ingested petroleum, and plastics. The majority were hatch-year males in poor body condition (57%), with atrophied, dehydrated, or pale organs possibly attributed to external oil exposure. Six (12%) black skimmers had evidence of external oiling, three (6%) were fouled by crude oil, one (2%) had biological fouling, and two (4%) were fouled in a synthetic substance, suspected to be chemical dispersant. Damage to organs suggested that internal examinations should be performed alongside external surveys to provide a thorough understanding of the total number of individuals impacted by a spill, and that timely internal examinations are essential. No evidence of ingested petroleum or plastics was found.

Pengaruh Pemberian Kotoran Kambing terhadap Pertumbuhan Tanaman Sorgum Putih
Authors: Sumantri
Published: July 2023

Penggunaan pupuk probiotik dan pupuk organik merupakan salah satu cara untuk mengurangi penggunaan pupuk kimia. Pupuk organik kotoran kambing memiliki kandungan N yang cukup tinggi, dan pupuk probiotik NOPKOR (Nitrogen Phospat Kalium Orgnism Recovery) berguna untuk mengembalikan jasad renik di dalam tanah sehingga meningkatkan kandungan makronutrien tanah. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui apakah penggunaan pupuk organik kotoran kambing dengan pupuk probiotik NOPKOR dapat meningkatkan pertumbuhan dan produktifitas maupun kandungan proximat nutrisi biji tanaman sorgum (Sorghum bicolor L.). Penelitian dilaksanakan di kebun Percobaan Pendidikan Biologi Universitas Sanata Dharma, pada tanggal 6 Maret – 20 Juni 2017. Penelitian ini menggunakan tiga perlakuan yaitu perlakuan A dengan kotoran kambing, perlakuan B dengan kotoran kambing dan pupuk probiotik nopkor, dan perlakuan C yaitu kontrol negatif. Parameter yang diamati dalam penelitian adalah tinggi batang, jumlah daun, berat biji per malai dan kandungan proximat nutrisi biji sorgum. Data yang diperoleh akan dianalisa secara deskriptif kuantitatif dan kualitatif. Berdasarkan analisis kandungan makronutrien tanah yang meliputi C- organik, Nitrogen (N), Phospor (P), Kalium (K), perlakuan B memiliki kandungan yang tertinggi. Hal tersebut selaras dengan analisa kandungan proximat nutrisi biji sorgum pada perlakuan B yang memberikan hasil yang terbaik dari perlakuan yang lainnya. Hasil pertumbuhan dari parameter tinggi dan berat biji per malai tidak memberikan hasil yang sesuai dengan analisa kandungan tanah. Hal tersebut disebakan oleh polimorfisme yang terjadi di beberapa tanam dalam setiap perlakuan. Penggunaan pupuk organik kotoran kambing dengan pupuk probiotik NOPKOR baik untuk budidaya tanaman sorgum karena hasil kandungan proximat nutrisi biji yang dihasilkan tinggi.

A construção civil é o segmento da economia que mais consome recursos naturais e é também um dos maiores geradores de resíduos sólidos urbanos. Estes fatos mostram a necessidade de se buscar novos materiais, novas técnicas construtivas e uma gestão eficiente dos resíduos, onde as empresas respondam com responsabilidade às necessidades da sociedade, com foco em edificações construídas de forma ambientalmente sustentável, reduzindo assim os custos. Em vista do exposto, o objetivo central do presente artigo foi descrever como ocorre a gestão dos RDCs em um canteiro de obras de uma edificação comercial em Bento Gonçalves, no Estado do Rio Grande do Sul. Sendo assim, a fim de traçar um caminho coerente para o desenvolvimento do tema, foram delineados três objetivos específicos que são: verificar as vantagens do reaproveitamento dos RDCs no canteiro de obras; identificar as dificuldades no processo de reaproveitamento destes resíduos; e mensurar o percentual sobre o custo da edificação que foi economizado por meio do reaproveitamento dos RDCs no canteiro de obras de uma edificação comercial na cidade de Bento Gonçalves. A pesquisa tem caráter descritivo, com abordagem qualitativa, baseada em uma entrevista com um gestor de uma obra, referente a da implantação de um prédio, localizado na cidade de Bento Gonçalves, Rio Grande do Sul. Os resultados mostram que as vantagens do uso dos RDCs no canteiro de obras são o reaproveitamento do material de demolição com a redução dos resíduos a serem retirados do canteiro. A maior dificuldade encontrada foi necessidade de estudos para estabelecer a viabilidade técnica e econômica prévias à obra, e a correta separação dos resíduos de demolição, pois a contaminação pode comprometer a qualidade do concreto. Com relação ao percentual sobre o custo da edificação economizado, este chegou 15% do previsto para execução dos serviços.
