The dynamics of adsorption of trichloroethylene from aqueous solutions on active carbons (AC) of the SKD-515, ABG, Purolat-Standart grades, differing in composition, method of preparation, structure and chemical state of the surface, was studied. The operating time of the filtering layer before breakthrough decreases in the series SKD-515> ABG> Purolat-Standart coal, which is caused by the porous structure of the coal and the nature of the oxygen-containing functional groups on the carbon surface. It was also noted that adsorption is influenced by the interaction of TCE with functional groups of the coal surface. The efficiency of TCE adsorption on various active carbons at a constant flow rate was studied. It was shown that a decrease in the flow rate of the solution through the filter increases the dynamic adsorption capacity, which indisputably confirms the pore-diffusion inhibition of mass transfer.

Published: September 2019

Medical literature has recently focused attention on the impact of vitamin D on various aspects of health. Besides its pivotal role in calcium homeostasis and bone mineral metabolism, it is now recognized to serve  a wide range of fundamental biological functions. The association between vitamin D, antiepileptic drugs , and bone health in individuals with epilepsy has been recognized for more than 30 years . Seizures themselves pose a risk for injury, including fractures; and the added co-morbidity of poor bone health increase this risk, especially in children with who suffer from seizures with motor manifestations, as well as those with impaired motor function and coordination. Many AEDs are inducers of hepatic cytochrome P450 metabolism. It has been postulated that these AEDs result in increased hepatic metabolism of vitamin D, leading to low vitamin D levels. However, non-enzyme inducing AEDs have also been associated with low vitamin D levels and in turn with poor bone health. Therefore, although the newer AEDs are less-potent enzyme inducers than older AED, they are not necessarily inert in bone metabolism. Studies have reported variable changes in vitamin D levels in children taking AEDs. We aimed to describe the prevalence of and risk factors for vitamin D deficiency among children with epilepsy on antiepileptic drugs.

Published: September 2019

Introduction: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection represents the most common cause of acquired immune deficiency leading to AIDS. CD4 is found on immune cells like T cells, macrophages and monocyte. HIV infects CD4 cells and in the absence of suitable therapy leads to CD4 cell lymphopenia. The progressive decline in CD4 cells eventually leads to the development of haematological abnormalities, opportunistic infections, wasting, cancer and death.

Aim: The study compared the haematological profiles to the CD4 count among HIV patients attending ART at Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital and Obuasi Government Hospital.

Materials and Method: a cross sectional analytical study involving 385 selected patients with HIV in Ashanti Region was done. CD4 count and Full blood count were performed to determine the immune status of the patients and haematological parameters.

Results: Out of 385 HIV patients enrolled in the study, the mean age, weight, and duration of therapy was 40.62 years old, 58.33 kg, and 6.17 years respectively. A higher proportion of the study participants were females (73.7%), married (42.7%), had HIV-1 (97.7%) and informal education (83.0%). CD4 count was directly associated with haemoglobin levels (r=0.32), WBC count (r= 0.23) especially with neutrophils. However, CD4 count was negatively associated with lymphocyte count (r= -0.14).

Conclusion: This study revealed that there is a strong association between CD4 counts and the severity of anemia and neutropenia in HIV/AIDS patients. Anemia and neutropenia in HIV patients can be considered as good clinical indicators to predict and access the underlying immune status.   

KEY WORDS: HIV/AIDS, CD4 count, neutropenia,

Authors: Lacerda Ana Forjaz , Oliveira Graça , Cancelinha Cândida , Lopes Silvia
Published: September 2019

Introdução: Fruto da mudança epidemiológica, o interesse pelas doenças crónicas complexas no sistema de saúde pediátrico tem vindo a crescer. Assim, pretendemos avaliar a utilização do internamento hospitalar do Serviço Nacional de Saúde (Portugal Continental) por doentes pediátricos (0 – 17 anos) com doenças crónicas complexas.Material e Métodos: Estudo epidemiológico observacional longitudinal retrospetivo (base de dados de morbilidade hospitalar anonimizada). Selecionámos episódios de internamento de doentes pediátricos, entre 2011 – 2015; excluímos recém-nascidos saudáveis e radioterapia ambulatória. Análise descritiva dos episódios de internamento de doentes pediátricos com doenças crónicas complexas, caracterizados por número e categoria de doenças crónicas complexas. Foram aplicados testes não paramétricos à duração de internamento, despesa e mortalidade.Resultados: Nos 419 927 episódios, constavam códigos de doenças crónicas complexas em 64 918 (15,5%). Estes episódios com doenças crónicas complexas representaram 29,8% dos dias de internamento, 39,4% da despesa e 87,2% dos óbitos. Custaram o dobro dos episódios sem doenças crónicas complexas (€1467 vs €745) e tiveram uma mortalidade 40 vezes superior (2,4% vs 0,06%). Do total, 46,0% foram programados (sem doenças crónicas complexas 23,2%); 64,8% ocorreram em hospitais grupo III – IV (sem doenças crónicas complexas 27,1%). Nos episódios com doenças crónicas complexas, a doença maligna foi a categoria mais frequente (23,0%); a maior demora mediana (12 dias, 6 – 41), despesa mediana (€3568,929 – 24 602) e mortalidade (13,4%) verificaram-se na categoria neonatais.Discussão: Esta análise mostrou que, embora o número absoluto de internamentos de doentes pediátricos esteja a diminuir em Portugal Continental, à semelhança de outros países desenvolvidos, os internamentos com doenças crónicas complexas têm vindo a aumentar proporcionalmente, sendo mais prolongados, onerosos e com maior probabilidade de morte do que os episódios sem doenças crónicas complexas (tendências acentuadas quando constam duas ou mais doenças crónicas complexas).Conclusão: As doenças crónicas complexas são relevantes na atividade e despesa do internamento hospitalar pediátrico em Portugal Continental. Este reconhecimento e a integração de cuidados paliativos pediátricos desde o diagnóstico são essenciais para adequar a utilização do hospital, desenvolvendo alternativas efetivas e sustentáveis que vão ao encontro das necessidades das crianças, famílias e profissionais.
Avaliação Ecográfica da Disfunção Diafragmática Induzida pelo Ventilador em Idade Pediátrica
Authors: Dionisio Maria Teresa , Rebelo Armanda , Pinto Carla , Carvalho Leonor , Neves José Farela
Published: September 2019

Introdução: A ventilação mecânica invasiva condiciona disfunção diafragmática, atrasando a extubação e aumentando a mortalidade em adultos. Em pediatria, apesar de eventualmente mais relevante, essa disfunção não é sistematicamente avaliada. A ecografia diafragmática tem sido proposta como uma técnica não invasiva e segura para esse fim. O objetivo deste estudo foi descrever a evolução dos índices ecográficos de morfologia e função diafragmáticas em crianças ventiladas.Material e Métodos: Estudo exploratório, prospetivo. Foram incluídas crianças admitidas num Serviço de Cuidados Intensivos Pediátricos sob ventilação mecânica invasiva > 48 horas e realizadas medições ecográficas de espessura, excursão e fração de espessamento diafragmáticas.Resultados: Foram incluídos 17 casos. Mediana de idades: 42 meses. Eram do género masculino 10/17, tinham comorbilidades 7/17 e manifestavam desnutrição na admissão 3/17 casos. Mediana do tempo sob ventilação invasiva: sete dias. Medianas das espessuras diafragmáticas inicial e mínima: 2,3 e 1,9 mm, respetivamente, tendo-se observado uma diminuição mediana da espessura de 13% sob volume controlado regulado por pressão. Observou-se atrofia diafragmática em 14/17 casos. Verificaram-se diferenças na mediana da variação da espessura entre os grupos com e sem sépsis (0,70 vs 0,25 mm; p = 0,019). Durante a ventilação em pressão de suporte, observou-se uma tendência para aumento da espessura e excursão diafragmáticas. Ocorreu falência de extubação parafração de espessamento ≤ 35%.Discussão: Sob volume controlado regulado por pressão verificou-se tendência para diminuição da espessura diafragmática. Sob pressão de suporte, verificou-se uma tendência para o seu aumento. Estes resultados sugerem que, titulando a ventilação, podemos reduzir as alterações morfológicas diafragmáticas associadas à ventilação.Conclusão: O reconhecimento precoce de alterações diafragmáticas poderá fomentar uma abordagem dirigida, de forma a limitar a disfunção diafragmática induzida pelo ventilador e suas repercussões.

A doença coronária, responsável por um terço de todas as mortes, é a causa de morte mais comum em todo o mundo. Todavia, com o decréscimo das taxas de mortalidade associadas a esta patologia, observa-se um número crescente de doentes com a doença, com aumento da necessidade de gestão dos seus sintomas e prognóstico. A reabilitação cardíaca, componente essencial do tratamento contemporâneo da doença arterial coronária, é uma intervenção complexa que envolve variadas técnicas, incluindo exercício físico, correção dos fatores de risco cardiovasculares tradicionais, terapia comportamental e apoio psicológico, sendo considerada uma prioridade em países em que a prevalência da doença é elevada. Esta revisão sistemática Cochrane constitui uma atualização de uma revisão Cochrane publicada em 2011, tendo identificado 16 novos ensaios clínicos (3872 doentes), predominantemente em status pós-enfarte agudo do miocárdio e pós-cirurgia de revascularização miocárdica. Incluiu, assim, 63 ensaios clínicos aleatorizados que estudaram a eficácia e o custo-efetividade da reabilitação cardíaca baseada no exercício físico, em pacientes com doença arterial coronária. A confiança na evidência científica variou de baixa a moderada. Dos principais resultados destaca-se o efeito da reabilitação cardíaca, em comparação com a ausência de exercício físico, na redução na mortalidade cardiovascular, todavia sem redução da mortalidade total. Apesar da reabilitação cardíaca ter diminuído o risco global de internamento hospitalar, o mesmo não se verificou para o risco de enfarte, cirurgia de revascularização miocárdica ou intervenção coronária percutânea. Neste artigo sumarizam-se e discutem-se os principais resultados, conclusões e implicações desta revisão sistemática para a prática clínica.

Este trabalho objetivou determinar o tamanho ideal de folhas e em que local da planta devem ser realizadas medições para a determinação da área foliar total de pinhão manso. O experimento foi conduzido na Universidade Federal do Tocantins em delineamento inteiramente casualizado, com 24 tratamentos e seis repetições. Para quantificar a área foliar utilizou-se o método baseado nas dimensões comprimento e largura das folhas. Os resultados mostraram que quando apenas folhas pequenas foram amostradas, a área foliar foi subestimada. Por outro lado, quando apenas folhas grandes foram amostradas, houve superestimação da área foliar. A mensuração de folhas grandes e médias no terço médio e superior da planta pode ser utilizada para a determinação da área foliar total. Assim, conclui-se que a forma de amostragem é influenciada pela época de mensuração; a quarta época de mensuração é a mais indicada para quantificar a largura das folhas de pinhão manso; e o terço superior da planta mostrou ser o melhor local de amostragem para quantificar a área foliar total.

Abstract

This study displayed a biography of Imam Al-Daraqutni, and through the explanation of scholars after him, with comparing the words of the critics on the narrator, this research studying an example of his narrations after the critical study for each narrators. Imam Al-Daraqutni calls this term on the narrator who is considered by his narration. They are three different ranks in consideration; some of them have a valid narration in general, some are weak who have possible weakness because of error or mission or other things that their narration isn't abandoned totally for those reasons. There is great benefit in cognition ranks of consideration when outbalancing the apparent discordance of narrations. And exclusivity is not accepted from all of them if they contradicted the narrators who have priority over them. Al-Hafiz Al-Daraqutni has mentioned a description of the narrator in addition to his saying "is not left" indicating his status.

MONETARY POLICY TRANSMISSION AND CREDIT CARDS: EVIDENCE FROM INDONESIA
Authors: Prabheesh KP , Rahman R Eki
Published: September 2019

This paper empirically tests the dynamics of credit cards and monetary policy in thecontext of Indonesia. Using monthly data from 2006 to 2018 and a structural vectorautoregressive model, our findings indicate that credit card usage is mainly drivenby Indonesia’s fast economic growth over the last decade, which indeed reflects therole of credit cards in consumption smoothing. The study also finds that monetarypolicy transmission through the lending channel is weak, with a more prevalent rolefor exchange rates and global oil prices in the transmission process.
Comparison of Lanczos Decomposition Method LDM and Conventional Implicit Time-Stepping Method ITSM for Numerical Reservoir Simulation
Authors: Yilmaz Koray , Calisgan Tugce , Dilsiz Melike
Published: September 2019

Reservoir simulations constitute a cornerstone to predict the flow of fluids through porous media. Various numerical models called simulators are developed to simulate the performance of hydrocarbon reservoirs. These models are used in field development since production forecasts are necessary to make investment decisions. Nowadays, numerical simulators are widely used by reservoir engineers.

In recent times, machine learning applications have garnered the interest of the oil and gas industry due their unorthodox approach to creating complex models. The more historical data that can be provided in the training phase of the computation, the more accurate the predictions utilizing less time and computational power required by the alternative. The alternative, reservoir simulation applications, require more robust hardware for processing large amounts of data in sophisticated ways. This will require several iterations and may require long computation to validate the model. Running time for a simulation is dependent on software, which can be dependent on hardware. This creates a matrix of time and resources needed to complete simple to complicated simulations.

A few studies have proposed the use of the Lanczos decomposition method in reservoir simulation studies. The attractiveness of this method appears to be the avoidance of time stepping in simulation and allows the computation of reservoir pressures at any given time directly.

In this study, two new simulators were developed using Lanczos Decomposition Method (LDM) and Conventional Implicit Time-Stepping Method (ITSM). The study focuses on 2-D flow for slightly compressible fluid of constant viscosity with multiple wells. Derivation of the model equations was performed using the continuity equation for both methods through the use of MATLAB. The simulators were written using the MATLAB programming language. The simulators developed in this study are capable of assigning uniform and non-uniform gridblock distribution; porosity and permeability distributions, as well as developing various production and injection scenarios for single or multiple wells depending on different areas of application. Validity and accuracy of the 2D flow simulator were examined by comparing simulation results with that obtained from the commercial software called ECRIN. The results of the simulator were almost identical with the results obtained from the commercial software. During the model runs, the CPU time of the two simulators were compared. A special case was also studied for a single well with variable rate history using both ITSM and LDM written with FORTRAN.

To date, in petroleum engineering literature, there is no work published that compares the performances (in terms of computational aspects as well as CPU times) of the Lanczos method and the conventional implicit-time stepping method.

Published: September 2019

Mineral precipitation (scale) can significantly hinder production in petroleum reservoirs. This includes steam-assisted-gravity-drainage (SAGD) operations used for bitumen recovery in the Athabasca oil-sand region (AOSR) of northeastern Alberta, Canada. We explored whether select geochemical and isotope tracers (δ2H, δ18O, δ11B, δ34S, δ13C, 87Sr/86Sr) in SAGD-water sources can help to improve the understanding of the dynamics of reservoir fluids and their mixing in SAGD operations that might contribute toward scale precipitation. Pore water, bottom-formation water, steam condensate, and returned emulsions (produced bitumen and water) were sampled from an SAGD reservoir in northeastern Alberta and analyzed for geochemical and isotopic parameters. The results obtained indicate distinct Na and Cl concentrations and δ18O and δ2H values for these fluid sources. Significant differences in δ13CDIC, δ11B, and δ34S values and 87Sr/86Sr ratios were observed between bottom-formation water, steam condensate, and returned-water samples and hence constitute excellent tracers for bottomwater (BW) influx.

Published: September 2019

Background: Pugionium cornutum is a xerophytic plant that primarily adapts to salt stress by accumulating inorganic ions (e.g., Cl-) for osmoregulation, improving its reactive oxygen species (ROS)-scavenging ability and maintaining high photosynthetic carbon assimilation efficiency, but the associated molecular mechanisms still remain unclear. Results: Here, we present an analysis of gene responses to salt stress based on the transcriptome of P. cornutum exposed to 50 mM NaCl treatment. The data revealed that, after NaCl treatment for 6 or 24 h, the transcript levels of multiple genes encoding proteins facilitating Cl- accumulation and NO3- homeostasis such as SLAH1, CLCg, CCC1, and NPF6.4, as well as the transport of other major inorganic osmoticums were significantly upregulated in roots and shoots, which should be favorable to enhancing osmotic adjustment capacity and maintaining the plant uptake and transport of nutrient elements; a large number of genes related to ROS-scavenging pathways were also significantly upregulated, which should be beneficial for mitigating salt-induced oxidative damage to the cell metabolism. Meanwhile, many genes encoding components of the photosynthetic electron transport and carbon fixation enzymes were significantly upregulated in shoots after salt treatment, possibly resulting in a high carbon assimilation efficiency in P. cornutum. Additionally, numerous salt-inducible transcription factor genes probably regulating the abovementioned processes were found. Conclusion: Candidate genes involved in salt tolerance of P. cornutum were identified, which lays a preliminary foundation for clarifying the molecular mechanism of the xerophytes adapting to harsh environments.

Published: September 2019

Background Investigating the factors that influence Acinetobacter baumannii (Ab) adhesion/invasion into host cells is important to understand its pathogenicity. Metal cations have been shown to play an important role in regulating the biofilm formation and increasing the virulence of Ab; however, the effects of calcium on host-bacterial interactions have yet to be clarified. Here, the dynamic process of the interactions between Ab and human respiratory epithelial cells and the effects of calcium on host-bacterial interactions were explored using the technologies of microscopic imaging, quantitative PCR and real time cellular analysis (RTCA).Results The concentration of calcium, multiplicity of infection and co-culture time were demonstrated to have effects on host-bacterial interactions. A unique "double peak" phenomenon changed to a sharp "single peak" phenomenon during the process of Ab infection under the effects of calcium were determined based on the time-dependent cell response profiles. Moreover, calcium can increase Ab adhesion/invasion of epithelial cells by regulating the expression of Ab-related genes ( ompA , bfmRS , abaI ).Conclusions Effective control of calcium concentrations can provide new ideas for the prevention and treatment of multi-drug resistant Ab.
Idiosyncratic response of yeasts, recovered from oropharyngeal lesions of HIV patients, to prophylactic antifungal agents, in South Western Uganda
Authors: Agwu Ezera -
Published: September 2019

Background: Although cutting edge technologies have advanced overall knowledge of microbial infections, what microorganisms will do when challenged with surface active agents is incompletely understood and understanding the characteristic uniqueness of an organism when challenged with antimicrobial agents derails antibiotic stewardship programs in resource limited settings.
T his study was therefore designed to determine the idiosyncratic in-vitro response of yeast strains, challenged with selected routine antifungal agents used for routine prophylactic management of HIV infected
Methods: A total of 304 (235 females and 69 males) patients with different conditions were recruited. The analysis performed included: cultivation on Sabouraud Dextrose Agar, Corn Meal Agar, Potato Dextrose Agar, germ-tube test, chlamydospore production, test for ability to grow at 45 o C. For further morphologic identification, yeasts were grown on CHROMagar Candida medium at 37 + 2 0 C for 24-48 hours and sub-cultured on Pal’s agar. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the isolates were determined by the E-test stable agar gradient method (AB BIODISK, Solna, Sweden)
Results: The 304 (235 females and 69 males) recruited patients with different oral lesions consented to this study and 304 sample surveyed was guided by the upper limit required to give 95% level of confidence at an expected prevalence of about 74% (Agwu et al, 2008) using : Sample size (N) = Z 2 P (100-P)/D2 giving 296 samples, (Epi-info version 3.2 data-base; 1995), where Z is a constant given as (1.96), P is expected prevalence (74%), and D is acceptable error (5%). Informed consent was sought and obtained from the following: Uganda National Council of Science and Technology, Kampala International University Research and Ethics Committee, HIV patients of The AIDS Support Organizations,.
Conclusion : Candida albicans remain significantly susceptible to tested antifungal agents. Emerging dose dependent susceptibility in non albicans oropharyngeal yeast strains is interesting in this era of increasing treatment failures due to drug resistance. Pattern of resistance recorded may suggest significant contribution of yeast in the recurrent or delayed oropharyngeal lesions of HIV population studied. Sustained surveillance with MIC which impacts treatment outcome is recommended
