Authors: Lapitan Marie Carmela , Baroña Joshua Vincent , Cerrillo-Villanueva Giselle Celine , Buckley Brian
Published: November 2023

Introduction: Nosocomial infections such as surgical site infections (SSI) and postoperative pneumonia significantly contribute to a patient’s morbidity and mortality. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluate the effectiveness of oral hygiene programs in reducing the incidence of nosocomial infections and related postoperative complications among all surgical patients. Methods: The systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted in line with the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions. Medline and the Cochrane controlled trials (CENTRAL) databases were searched. Two review authors independently selected the trials and extracted the outcome data. The risk of bias of each included study was assessed independently by two review authors using the tool recommended in the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions. Meta-analysis was performed when more than one trial reported the same outcome for the same comparison. Results: 29 systematic reviews and 59 randomized controlled trials were included in the review. Thirty-two trials compared chlorhexidine with placebo, 7 trials povidone iodine with placebo, 7 trials topical antibiotics with placebo, 1 trial essential oils with placebo, 3 trials other agents with placebo, and 5 trials toothbrushing with no toothbrushing. Five trials compared one agent with another agent, and 1 trial compared dosings and frequencies of chlorhexidine use. Chlorhexidine was associated with a reduced risk of nosocomial infection, nosocomial pneumonia, ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), and shorter hosptial stay, and no significant impact on surgical site infection rates, ventilator days and mortality. Povidone iodine did not show any significant benefit on reducing VAP rates, ventilator days, ICU days, or mortality when compared against placebo. Hexetidine,when compared with placebo showed similar incidences of VAP. Topical oral antibiotics did not provide significant reduction on VAP rates, ventilator days, ICU days and mortality rates, compared with placebo. Conclusion: Oral hygiene offers benefits in terms of lower rates of nosocomial infection, nosocomial pneumonia, ventilator-associated pneumonia, surgical site infection, shorter ICU stay, less ventilator days and lower oral colonization / colony counts. Key words: Oral Hygene

Published: November 2023

In the era of digital 4.0, where technology advances rapidly, many people seek to do everything quickly. This phenomenon also affects Christians, who aspire to embody the teachings of the Bible, but often wish to skip the process of growth and transformation. However, it is through the experiences and events of life that individuals are meant to undergo character development, becoming wise individuals rather than the opposite, becoming "foolish." Through this scholarly work, the author aims to encourage Christians to become wise individuals, meaning individuals who have the ability to apply their knowledge as children of light (children of God) in their behavior and actions. Believers should be capable of embracing opportunities to align their behavior with divine purposes, understanding and discerning the will of God, and allowing their lives to be completely guided by the Holy Spirit. The fulfillment of the Holy Spirit in the lives of believers is reflected in their songs, which serve as a means of exhortation and admonition to one another, offering praises directed towards the Lord. They express gratitude to God the Father through Jesus Christ and willingly submit to one another in an atmosphere of deep respect that emanates from sincere hearts towards Jesus Christ. The author employs methods such as textual analysis (Biblical verses), synthesis, addressing research inquiries, and reflecting on life experiences to accomplish these objectives

Prayer is a very essential need in the spiritual life of believers, prayer is a spiritual breath to revive the human spirit, Prayer is believed to be one of the means to communicate to the God who is worshipped, through intercession the believer is connected to the source of life, namely God himself. In the human body, the organ that continues to work and never stops is the heart, anyone knows that. If the heart stops all the organs in the body of a believer can also stop, so does prayer, if prayer stops the spiritual life of a believer can also stop.Intercessory prayer speaks that humans need each other, intercessory prayer in which believers, mediating between sinful humans and God, speak of a very close relationship with faithfulness. God created humans as social beings, in carrying out life, they definitely need other humans as well as intercessory prayers that need each other, where they pray for each other for the safety of mankind. Likewise, loyalty starts from a close relationship that requires each other so that the relationship becomes strong. Loyalty is something that is very expensive and very rare in this day and age, intercessory prayer is a means of building a relationship with God, so loyalty will be built day by day.The purpose of the role of intercessory prayer is so that church servants really understand and understand about intercessory prayer in realizing faithfulness to serve.
Rapid Bispecific Antibodies Based Homogeneous Immunoassay for Detection of Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA)
Authors: Kumar Ashok , Bhatnagar Pravin K.
Published: November 2023

Development of rapid and economical method for detection of prostate- specific antigen (PSA) in human blood. Methods: The usual procedure for the detection of prostate cancer markers in human is prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in blood (normal level ≤ 4 ng/mL) using heterogeneous immunoassay enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). However, a rapid homogeneous immunoassay for the detection of PSA in serum, based on bispecific antibodies, is more convenient due to its speed, accuracy and obviating the need of multiple washing steps. The assay using bispecific antibody P57 (against PSA and peroxidase) and monospecific antibody B87 (against PSA) conjugated with glucose oxidase was developed in the presence of excess catalase. Similarly, in solid phase homogeneous immunoassay the monospecific antibody B87 (against PSA) and glucose oxidase were immobilized onto a solid support (plastic) and other reagents, bio-chemicals, and bispecific antibody P57 were taken in homogeneous solution. All variables, viz., glucose oxidase, peroxidase and catalase were optimized at different PSA concentrations. Results: Homogeneous immunoassay (HIA) showed linearity of PSA detection 1-10 ng/mL whereas, solid phase homogeneous immunoassay (SPHIA) showed in the range of 1-50 ng/mL suggesting SPHIA has a broader operating range, thus much better than HIA. Detection of PSA in a homogeneous solution can be completed in 90 minutes without involving any washing and incubation steps. Conclusions: Homogeneous assay is a rapid, economical method that eliminates all washing and incubation steps of conventional ELISA.

Published: November 2023

Although tuberculous lymphadenitis (TBLN) is extremely common in India, sometimes it may pose a diagnostic dilemma even after multimodality testing. This case report is about a patient who had undergone multiple fine needle aspirations (FNAC), Ziehl-Neelsen staining of aspirate, GeneXpert Nucleic acid amplification test (TBNAAT), biopsy and immunohistochemistry before arriving at a provisional diagnosis by hematoxylin-eosin staining of additional deeper sections. Additional information obtained by TBNAAT is whether the isolated strain is sensitive to Rifampicin. Emergence of multidrug resistance tuberculosis (resistance to rifampicin and INH) and extensively drug resistant strains implying resistance to fluoroquinolones and second-line injectable drugs can be a huge problem in the management of the disease. She is now under treatment and follow up. This case report highlights that caseation necrosis on FNAC even in the absence of acid-fast bacilli and a negative TBNAAT is strongly suggestive of tuberculous aetiology and may be used for initiating definitive treatment. A comparison of results of ZN stain of aspirate with TBNAAT for 22 cases of clinically suspected TBLN is also brought out.

Published: November 2023

Detection of abnormality in heart is of major importance for early and appropriate clinical medication. In this work, we have proposed two models for detection of abnormality in ECG signals. The normal ECG signals are closely repetitive in nature to a large extent, whereas ECG signals with abnormalities tend to differ from cycle to cycle. Hence, repetitive plot like the Poincare is efficient to detect such non-repetitiveness of the signal; thereby, indicating abnormalities. Hence, we have used Poincare plot to develop the two proposed models. One of the models uses direct analysis of the binary image of the plot to detect the difference in retracing, between the healthy and unhealthy samples. The other model uses entropy of the Poincare plot to detect the difference in randomness of plots between the two classes. Most importantly, we have used only lead II ECG signal for analysis. This ensures ease of computation as it uses signal of only a single lead instead of the 12 leads of the complete ECG signal. We have validated the proposed models using ECG signals from the ‘ptb database’. We have observed that the entropy analysis of the Poincare plots gives the best results with 90% accuracy of abnormality detection. This high accuracy of classification, combined with less computational burden enables its practical implementation for the development of a real life abnormality detection scheme

Later lung cancer, breast cancer is the casual nosy cancer and it is the second dominant root of cancer demise in women. Cancer is when the mutations that occurs in genes regulate cell growth and mutations multiply and divide the cells in an undisciplined way. There are five stages of breast cancer. In each stage, the size of the tumor varies. Alcohol consumption, body weight, history of breast cancer, age, genetics, hormone treatments, etc. are the reasons for breast cancer. Two categories of breast cancer are Lobular and Ductal. Ultrasound, MRI, Mammogram are the several diagnosis methods. By employing Artificial Neural Network (ANN), K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), decision tree (DT), Random forest (RFA), Naïve Bayes ī (NB), gradient boosting (GB), Logistic regression (LR) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) breast cancer can be predicted. The model gives best results when the principal features are selected.

Published: November 2023

Clustering algorithms can assist in scientific research by presenting themes related to some topics from which we can extract information more easily. However, it is common for many of these clusters to have documents that have no relevance to the topic of interest, thereby reducing the quality of the information. We can manage the reduced quality of information of clusters for a bibliographic database by dealing with noise in the semantic space that represents the relations between the grouped documents. In this work, we sustain the hypothesis of using the Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI) technique as an efficient instrument to reduce noise and promote better group quality. Using a database of 90 scientific publications from different areas, we pre-processed the documents by LSI and grouped them using six clustering algorithms. The results were significantly improved compared to our initial results that did not use LSI-based pre-processing. From the perspective of individual performance of the algorithms demonstrating the best results, CMeans was the one that got the highest average gain, with approximately 25%, followed by K-Means and SKmeans, with 17% each; PAM, with 16.5%; and EM, with 15%. The conclusion is that Latent Semantic Indexing has proven to be a helpful tool for noise reduction. We recommend its use to improve the cluster quality of bibliographic databases significantly.

Authors: Monpara Jagdishchandra K. , Chudasama Kiran S. , Thaker Vrinda S.
Published: November 2023

Gymnospora montana (Celastraceae) and Belanites aegyptiaca (Balanitaceae) showed marked similarity in their cpDNA sequences. Therefore, its detail analysis of cpDNA sequences is performed for codon use bias and its index, relative synonymous codon use value (RSCU), effective number of codons (ENC), GC content of the gene and frequencies of the nucleotides G+C at various positions in synonymous codon were calculated and compared it with Tribulus terresties. Length of the gene and ENC showed close relationship which suggest that longer genes has less codon bias. The codons for leucine, isoleucine and serine were most abundant in the studied plant species. The correlation analysis suggested that codon usage patterns in both cp genomes appear due to the different forces; natural selection, mutation pressure, GC content of gene and protein length. Their role in gene evolution process is discussed.
Identification of Unique Water Molecules in Human GRK2 Protein with Bound and Unbound GβGγ Subunit: A Study by Structural Bioinformatics Method
Authors: Bairagya Hridoy Ranjan , Pal Sayanti , Baral Sabarno
Published: November 2023

The human G-protein coupled receptor kinase 2 (hGRK2) regulates the desensitization of beta-adrenergic receptors (β-AR), and its overexpression has been implicated in heart failure. The hGRK2 is a serine/ threonine kinase and is one of the members of the AGC family, and it contains the four domains (i) RGS or RH domain (regulator of G-protein signaling res. id. 54-175), (ii) protein kinase or CAT domain (res. id. 191-453), (iii) AGC Kinase domain (res. Id 454-521), and (iv) PH domain (Pleckstrin homology, res. Id. 558-652). Present computational investigations on multiple analyses of X-ray structures (bound and unbound conformation of GβGγ) highlight the presence of seventeen unique water molecules (W1 to W17) that are only available either in hGRK2 with GβGγ or without GβGγ. These water molecules are subdivided into category-I (W1 to W8), which is observed with unbound GβGγ conformation, and category-II (W9 to W17) in hGRK2 with bound GβGγ conformation. The MD simulation results suggest the non-crystal and crystal water molecules are inaccessible to reaching W3, W10, and W12 water sites because they are deeply buried and shielded by neighboring residues, whereas W9, W11, and W13 are accessible by crystal water in MD simulation but not allow entering non-crystal or MD water molecules. During the structural transition of hGRK2 from unbound to bound hGβGγ state, water molecules of category-I (W1 to W8) departed from their respective domains, and water molecules of Category-II (W9 to W17) were reached simultaneously during unbound to bound GβGγ conformation. In this context, the present work identifies new biochemical insights to highlight some rationale clues for heart disease.

Post-divorce women's economic rights are a significant issue in today's modern society. Divorce is an event that significantly changes the dynamics of women's lives, especially in terms of economic independence. However, there are still inhibiting factors that affect the implementation of women's economic rights after divorce. This study aims to analyze the inhibiting factors that influence the implementation of women's economic rights after divorce. This study uses a qualitative approach by conducting in-depth interviews with divorced women and collecting data from various related sources. The results of the study show that there are several inhibiting factors that affect the implementation of women's economic rights after divorce. First, changes in women's social and economic status after divorce often lead to financial instability. Many women experience decreased income and have difficulty meeting their basic needs. Another factor is gender discrimination in the workplace. Many women face difficulties in finding a decent job after a divorce. They may experience discrimination in terms of salary and promotion, or have difficulty accessing equal career opportunities with men. There is family conflict which is one of the inhibiting factors for the implementation of women's economic rights after divorce. This research provides a deeper understanding of the inhibiting factors that affect the implementation of women's economic rights after divorce. These findings can become a basis for the government and related institutions in designing policies and programs that support women in building economic independence after divorce.

Published: November 2023

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the impact of low-intensity aerobic exercise on cognitive performance in female volleyball players following partial sleep deprivation.
Methods: A total of 21 elite female volleyball players (mean age: 23.6 ± 2.9 years; mean BMI: 19.1 ± 1.8) participated in a balanced, randomized design, undergoing two conditions: PSD and exercise in the morning following PSD (PSDE). Prior to the study, participants completed the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) to assess sleep quality. Cognitive performance was assessed using computerized neurocognitive tests from the Vienna system, including movement detection time (MDT), visual pursuit test (VPT), and cognitrone test (COG). Data analysis was performed using paired student's t-tests.
Results: The findings revealed a notable decline in reaction time (RT) (p=0.004), median cognitive reaction (MCR) (p=0.001), and median motor time (MMT) (p=0.01) in the PSD condition when compared to PSDE. However, there were no significant changes observed in processing speed (number of correct responses and rejections) and selective attention (mean time for correct responses and rejections) in the PSDE condition (p≥0.05). It is crucial to highlight that PSD had a detrimental impact on the cognitive performance of elite female players.
Conclusions: Although partial sleep deprivation negatively affected the cognitive performance of volleyball players, engaging in low-intensity aerobic exercise following partial nocturnal sleep deprivation may attenuate these detrimental effects.

Ten women with type II diabetes (Age = 56.9 ± 7.4 years old; BMI = 27.2 ± 4.2 kg/m2; Diagnostic time = 10.6 ± 4.1 years) participated in this study. On three non-consecutive days, participants were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 training conditions: (i) Low-load exercise [LL; ~ 20% of 1 maximum repetition (1RM)]; (ii) LL-BFR exercise [~ 20% of 1RM/50% of arterial occlusion pressure (AOP)]; (iii) High load exercise (HL; ~ 65% of 1RM). Systolic BP (SBP), diastolic BP (DBP) and mean (MBP) values ​​were assessed before, immediately, 15, 30, 45 and 60 min after the interventions. BG concentrations were analyzed before, immediately and 60 min after the interventions. SBP significantly reduced 60 min after LL exercise (p = 0.002), but it was not significantly reduced at any point after LL-BFR or HL exercise. DBP decreased significantly 45 min after LL exercise (p = 0.028) and 60 min after LL and LL-BFR exercise (p = 0.004 and p = 0.002, respectively). We verified a condition effect for the BG percentage variation, however post-hoc analyzes revealed only a difference tendency between LL and LL-BFR exercises (3.5% and -10%, respectively; p = 0.053). It is concluded that the LL and LL-BFR exercise protocols resulted in a post-exercise hypotensive effect, and the BFR protocol, apparently, presents superiority in BG reduction.

Wave / Lengths in Lucy Lippard’s I See / You Mean
Authors: Vogl Rhiannon
Published: November 2023

Le seul roman publié par Lucy Lippard, I See / You Mean, est intimement lié aux expériences de Lippard dans le monde de l’art contemporain, au mouvement féministe naissant et au désir de l’artiste d’explorer son rapport à ces deux domaines. Dans son roman, elle s’éloigne des modes conceptuels d’appréhension du monde pour se tourner vers des modes sensoriels plus terre à terre, brouillant ainsi les complexités de son identité d’écrivaine, de critique et de femme. Cet article, qui explore le développement du collage en tant que méthodologie dans les écrits de Lippard, propose la « grille sensuelle » comme nouveau cadre pour contextualiser l’approche de l’artiste envers sa propre pratique et souligne l’importance de l’écriture fictionnelle dans le travail du critique.
La créativité et les représentations du récit multimodal chez les élèves du primaire
Authors: Pantaleo Sylvia
Published: November 2023

Plusieurs chercheur·se·s ont identifié la créativité comme une capacité fondamentale que les individus doivent développer, autant à l’école que dans la société. Partout dans le monde, des éducateur·rice·s explorent comment encourager la créativité dans les salles de classe. Une brève revue des écrits scientifiques sur la définition de la créativité, sur la façon de l’encourager dans les salles de classe et sur l’évaluation des productions créatives est accompagnée par la description d’une étude qui portait sur la conception et la réalisation de productions créatives d’élèves de neuf ans. Deux des principaux objectifs de cette recherche menée dans une salle de classe visaient à cultiver les aptitudes et compétences des élèves en matière de création de sens visuel en se concentrant spécifiquement sur les éléments d’art visuel et de design dans les livres d’images. De même, la recherche cherchait à faire progresser les compétences narratives des élèves en se concentrant sur la littérature métafictionnelle. Une analyse rétrospective des activités qui se sont déroulées lors de la recherche, quant à leur potentiel pour encourager le développement des schémas de pensée associés à la créativité, est suivie par l’analyse de la production créative d’une élève, plus spécifiquement la représentation de son récit multimodal. La discussion prend aussi en considération l’importance pour les éducateur·rice·s d’approfondir leurs connaissances théoriques et pratiques du concept de créativité lorsqu’iels s’efforcent d’enseigner pour et par la créativité, en plus d’évaluer l’apprentissage créatif des élèves.
Organization of interaction between the pedagogical university and institutions of additional education for children
Authors: Pasholikov Mikhail Sergeevich
Published: November 2023

We often hear in mass media regularly statements of the specialists in the field of education that characterizes the situation with the staffing of the industry with the phrase: "There is no one to work." Indeed, there are still a number of problems in this area that need to be addressed. The Concept of the Development of Additional Education for Children until 2030 explicitly indicates the insufficient staffing of organizations of additional education and the low level of involvement of educational organizations of higher education in the implementation of additional general education programs. Updating the content of students' training, as well as the success of their professional socialization, is largely determined by the effectiveness of the functioning of the system of relations between an educational institution of higher education and employers. Within the framework of such cooperation, pedagogical universities offer programs for teachers of institutions aimed at improving their professional level. In turn, these educational institutions provide students with opportunities for practical training, which helps them to better understand professional realities. The article substantiates the relevance of the problem of building a system of interaction between institutions of higher pedagogical and children's additional education. The integration of pedagogical universities and children's educational institutions of additional training is a key factor for the development of the modern education system. It contributes to the formation of a unified professional community that can effectively solve current problems in the field of pedagogy and education. The scientific novelty of the study consists in the fact that on the basis of the concretization of scientific ideas and generalization of successful practices, the main categories of the interaction of a pedagogical university with a regional system of additional education for children are determined; The practical significance of the research lies in the possibility of using the proposed algorithm for building joint activities of a pedagogical university with educational organizations implementing additional educational programs in the design and implementation of basic professional educational programs, the development of educational, industrial and other types of practices that provide solutions to the tasks of training student teachers.
Gruppelederes erfaringer med digitale lærings- og mestringstilbud i spesialisthelsetjenesten

Published: November 2023

Koronapandemien aktualiserte digitalisering av lærings- og mestringstilbud. Studiens hensikt er å undersøke gruppelederes erfaringer med digitale lærings- og mestringstilbud i spesialisthelsetjenesten. Økt kunnskap om gruppelederes erfaringer kan gi bedre grunnlag for å forstå hvilke muligheter og begrensinger bruk av digitale lærings- og mestringstilbud kan gi. Semistrukturerte intervju er gjennomført med sju gruppeledere. Datamaterialet er analysert ved systematisk tekstkondensering. Analysen resulterte i tre kategorier: 1) Interaksjonsbegrensende, 2) Multiple roller må beherskes og 3) Det digitale som verdifullt supplement. Studien viser at gruppelederne erfarer digitale lærings- og mestringstilbud som interaksjonsbegrensende, sammenlignet med fysisk gjennomføring. Endrede premisser for interaksjon gir behov for tilpasninger i rollen som både gruppeleder og underviser. Gruppelederne anser digitale kurs som et verdifullt supplement, da det kan øke pasienters og pårørendes tilgang til lærings- og mestringstilbud.

Background

Identifying the genes responsible for diseases requires precise prioritization of significant genes. Gene expression analysis enables differentiation between gene expressions in disease and normal samples. Increasing the number of high-quality samples enhances the strength of evidence regarding gene involvement in diseases. This process has led to the discovery of disease biomarkers through the collection of diverse gene expression data.

Methods

This study presents GeneCompete, a web-based tool that integrates gene expression data from multiple platforms and experiments to identify the most promising biomarkers. GeneCompete incorporates a novel union strategy and eight well-established ranking methods, including Win-Loss, Massey, Colley, Keener, Elo, Markov, PageRank, and Bi-directional PageRank algorithms, to prioritize genes across multiple gene expression datasets. Each gene in the competition is assigned a score based on log-fold change values, and significant genes are determined as winners.

Results

We tested the tool on the expression datasets of Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and the datasets from Microarray Quality Control (MAQC) project, which include both microarray and RNA-Sequencing techniques. The results demonstrate that all ranking scores have more power to predict new occurrence datasets than the classical method. Moreover, the PageRank method with a union strategy delivers the best performance for both up-regulated and down-regulated genes. Furthermore, the top-ranking genes exhibit a strong association with the disease. For MAQC, the two-sides ranking score shows a high relationship with TaqMan validation set in all log-fold change thresholds.

Conclusion

GeneCompete is a powerful web-based tool that revolutionizes the identification of disease-causing genes through the integration of gene expression data from multiple platforms and experiments.
