Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is constantly seeking the interest of researchers as an untreatable and fatal disease, attaining second position so far worldwide. Our study provides us an opportunity to explore new potential therapeutic combinations in this regard. We hypothesized that the anticancer activity of imipramine, which is used as an antidepressant drug, can be potentiated with an adjuvant, niacin, thereby providing a better treatment approach. The combination turned out to show beneficial alterations in various liver function test, caspase 3 (antiapoptotic) activity, tumor growth and survival profile of animals, precisely in our therapeutic group involving imipramine and niacin combination post diethyl nitrosamine (DENA) dose and hepatocellular carcinoma induction. Results demonstrated a remarkable restoration in all liver enzymes in the therapeutic groups.

The objective of the present study was to develop floating microballoons of captopril in order to achieve an extended gastric retention in the upper GIT which may enhance the absorption and improve bioavailability. The floating microballoons were formulated with calcium silicate as porous carrier, Eudragit L100 and ethyl cellulose 7 cps as coating polymers and captopril as model drug. The prepared microballoons were evaluated for particle size, angle of repose, Carr’s index, buoyancy studies, drug content and for in vitro drug release. Based upon the dissolution data obtained and various physical parameters evaluated, formulation containing drug to polymer ratio at 1:9 was optimised and further trials were carried out by changing the parameters like temperature, rpm and surfactant concentration to obtain more uniform and stable microballoons. In the optimized formulation, the drug release form was at a steady state manner when compared to the other formulations. The floating drug delivery system of captopril is a promising alternative way of achieving prolonged release with potential for achieving enhanced absorption and bioavailability.

A bio analytical method was developed with compatible mobile phase for estimation of drugs viz. rosuvastatin and ezetimibe, amlodipine and valsartan, lercanidipine and fluvastatin in human plasma. Liquid chromatographic system takes ample of time to stabilise and to attain equilibrium on changeover of mobile phase. Compatible mobile phase was beneficial to separate and estimate many drugs simultaneously; and saved time and solvent consumption. The technique was developed and equipped with reverse phase high performance liquid chromatograph (RP-HPLC), using RP - C18 column with UV detector. For estimation of all these drugs, the mobile phase [acetonitrile: acetate buffer pH 4.0 (pH adjusted with acetic acid)] was pumped at a flow rate of 0.8 mL min-1 in the ratio of 60:40 V/V and the eluents were monitored at 245 nm. The method was studied and validated as per ICH guidelines and US FDA guidelines for selectivity, specificity, accuracy and precision and stability study. All these drugs shown linear response between concentration and response as a peak area and chromatograms with well resolved peaks were sign of methods efficiency. Statistical data of calibration graph to study linearity of these drugs in biological matrix was found within prescribed limit. Prepared quality control samples were estimated, accuracy and precision results of rosuvastatin and ezetimibe were 97-100.93 as % nominal concentration and 0.8210-2.0367 as % CV for amlodipine and valsartan 98.43-99.81 as % nominal conc. and 0.9480-2.4753 as % CV and for lercanidipine and fluvastatin 97.18-103.5 as % nominal conc and 0.5258-3.8301 as % CV and were within prescribed limit. The bio analytical method is simple as it is free from solvent extraction and solid phase extraction, precise, accurate, and consumes less solvent due to compatible mobile phase. The method suits for quantification of these drugs in plasma, hence applied for bio equivalence, bioavailability study in real clinical samples.

The present work aimed to formulate various cosmetic formulations comprising of extract of Lantana camara Linn. and Bombax ceiba Linn. as natural coloring agents. Dried and powdered leaves of L. camara Linn and dried thorn powder of B. ceiba Linn produce red color. The obtained color was used as a natural colorant in the preparation of different cosmetic preparations, namely lipstick, rouge and eye shadow. Different ingredients like bees wax, carnauba wax, white soft paraffin, castor oil and strawberry essence were used to formulate the aforesaid cosmetics using the extracted color. The formulations were evaluated for color, texture, pH, perfume stability, melting point, breaking point, softening point, surface anomalies, aging stability, thixothrophy and patch test depending upon its type. The results revealed that melting points of the prepared lipstick were observed in the range of 62-64 o C. The breaking point of all the lipstick formulations were noted in the range of 31 – 34 g. Force of application was noted to be good for all the formulations. Softening point was found to be in the range of 52.33 to 59.66 0 C. Eye shadow and rouge show good adhesion and color dispersion; patch test on volunteers showed no signs of skin irritation. The results verified that the color extracted from the dried leaves of L. camara Linn and dried thorn of B. ceiba may prove to be a beneficial choice and work as an alternative to synthetic colorants in various cosmetic formulations, which are known to cause allergic reactions and are reported to be carcinogenic.

Published: September 2022

Los metales con fines curativos se han utilizado desde las civilizaciones antiguas (china, egipcia, griega y romana). El cobre se usaba para esterilizar heridas, el oro para tratar la piel de las personas con viruela y la plata para curar heridas e infecciones. Actualmente, diversos compuestos inorgánicos se utilizan en el tratamiento de distintas enfermedades. Por ejemplo, algunas sales de aluminio, bismuto, calcio, magnesio y sodio se utilizan para los padecimientos estomacales. En cuanto al cáncer, el cisplatino fue el primer fármaco metálico utilizado en los tratamientos de quimioterapia. Además, se sabe que el trióxido de arsénico es un metalofármaco utilizado para tratar pacientes con leucemia. Incluso, otros metalofármacos a base de paladio y rutenio son excelentes agentes anticancerígenos activados por la luz que han sido aprobados en fases avanzadas de ensayos clínicos. Por lo tanto, el uso de metalofármacos en la terapia del cáncer se ha estudiado desde la década de 1960 hasta la actualidad. Durante este período, los científicos han buscado nuevos metalofármacos más eficaces, más selectivos y con menos efectos secundarios. Los esfuerzos han llevado a la consideración de una amplia variedad de metales en la tabla periódica, los cuales se discutirán en este artículo.

Residual tensions from manufacturing components and equipment assembly, functional job loads (fixed and dynamic loads), and the disrupted exploitation process all cause strains on bucket-wheel excavators in use (non-stationary dynamic loads). For the purpose of deciding which bucket wheel excavator (BWE) should participate in the rehabilitation and modernisation process, this study proposes a technique for assessing and rating BWEs. In this context, we use a multicriteria approache. The MCDM approach, including the Additive Ratio Assessment, is examined in this work (ARAS). The model, derived from MCDM procedures, are used to the task of assessing the primary metrics that define a BWE's performance. Each cluster of factors, together with their subparameters and potential values, will be subjected to the procedures. There are two sections to the model definitions. Using the ARAS technique, the first section identifies the parameters of most importance and defines their respective priority vectors. In the second section, options are analysed and ranked in accordance with the established criteria using a different set of techniques. The benefits were shown from two perspectives in the paper's findings. The first part is creating a framework that can be used to address other issues with the same structure. There's also the actual machine selection, which is based on a complicated examination of many different variables. In most cases, the model generalises well and may be re-used in future studies with comparable parameters.

Art theorists Riegl, Worringer, Roberto Longhi, and Sergio Bettini, and philosophers Henri Maldiney and Jean Paul Sartre are all summoned together to attempt a definition of cinema and of the effect in general. The theoretical conclusion is reached by reading Klein’s unpublished writings on the Aristotelian tradition of techné. If the structure of the subject is vertiginous, the vertigo-effect or the transformation of vertigo into an effect is precisely this: a “self,” the being of a consciousness that shows itself, the vertigo of selfness fixed by a counteroscillation which makes it ready for analysis.
Viking Mediologies
Authors: Heslop Kate
Published: September 2022

Viking Mediologies is a study of premodern multimedia. Rooted in the practice of Viking Age skalds, it maps the place of poetry in the media landscape of premodern Scandinavia across the 500-year span of skaldic tradition. The skaldic medium came into existence around the beginning of the Viking Age, entering a crowded field of aristocratic self-representations in media such as commemorative monuments, visual arts, and the hall culture of the chieftain’s retinue. Focusing on three domains of embodied mediation—memory, vision, and sound—the book argues that Viking Age skalds set out to capture shared, contingent meanings in named, memorable, reproducible texts. The book explores how commemorative poetry in kviðuháttr remembers histories of ruin and loss, skaldic ekphrasis discloses the presence of the gods, and dróttkvætt encomium evokes the soundscape of battle. In the poetry of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries skalds adjusted to the demands of a literate audience, while the historical and poetological texts of the Icelandic High Middle Ages opened a dialogue between Latin Christian ideas of mediation and local practices. These processes are traced in case studies of skaldic genealogical poetry, sight and perception in the Prose Edda, and poetic resonance in the Second Grammatical Treatise and Háttatal.
A Poetry Machine
Authors: Heslop Kate
Published: September 2022

Analysis of the two manuscript versions of the Second Grammatical Treatise reveals a common interest in musical performance, which is also reflected in the treatise’s tripartite division of sound, indebted to medieval music theory. Music and grammar meet in the ars rithmica, an analytical tradition devoted to syllable-counting, often rhyming kinds of poetry usually performed to musical accompaniment. The “new poetics” of the late twelfth and thirteenth centuries, influenced by ars rithmica, posits meter as a tool for the renewal of poetry based on the best of old traditions. The influence of ars rithmica is apparent in the grammatical treatises, and its characteristic style of analysis can be traced in Háttatal’s account of the end-rhymed runhent meter. The “poetry machine” of the Codex Upsaliensis version of the Second Grammatical Treatise, a diagrammatical representation of poetic rhyme based on the conceit of a hurdy-gurdy with letter-annotated keys, demonstrates that the interrelationship between rhyme, music, and meter was virulent in a pedagogical context in late medieval Iceland, while its manuscript link with Háttatal suggests a reading of the Prose Edda compilation as an Icelandic “new poetics.”
The Ritual Order
Authors: Gabriel V Pope
Published: September 2022

The Ritual Order was produced under the supervision of Pope Gabriel V (15th c.) in order to minimize disagreement among clergy over ritual details by providing a clear and authoritative guide for the main liturgical functions and ceremonies of the Coptic Church. The text alternates between providing exact stage directions for clergy and supplying short excurses on the meaning of these rituals. The success of this endeavor can be seen clearly in the ubiquity of manuscripts of the Euchologion copied in subsequent centuries that include the exact text of The Ritual Order as a basis for ritual actions throughout the liturgical service. This success would be also apparent for any modern reader intimately familiar with the ritual details of the Coptic liturgy, who would recognize in The Ritual Order a liturgy identical to current practice in most details, compared to the other two works in this volume.
Connected Lives
Authors: Holtby David V.
Published: September 2022

This essay examines America’s political culture, especially how fears and suspicions borne forth from the Civil War and Reconstruction infused partisanship. During the final third of the nineteenth century Union veterans organized as the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR), becoming a powerful lobby aligned with the Republican Party. When Indiana Republican Albert Beveridge championed militarism and empire en route to becoming a U.S. senator (1899–1911), the GAR embraced him. But the GAR and Beveridge’s pro-empire stance aroused the ire of South Carolina’s Democratic senator Benjamin R. Tillman (1895–1918), a leading white supremacist. He argued that American troops intervening abroad would soon bring renewed military presence at home, thus imposing a revived, oppressive Reconstruction upon the South.
The Lynching of Frazier Baker
Authors: Polite DJ
Published: September 2022

This chapter discusses the political and rhetorical links between Jim Crow violence, the memory of Reconstruction, and the spread of U.S. empire. America’s War with Spain occurred simultaneously with the lynching of African Americans in the South, specifically in North Carolina and South Carolina. These lynchings, particularly that of African American federal post-master Frazier Baker, challenged the emancipatory rhetoric of America’s War with Spain. It also evoked the history of violence from Reconstruction over Southern white supremacist political power in the United States.
Mortality and Normativity
Authors: Trumbull Robert
Published: September 2022

Chapter 4 undertakes a study of the ethical and political implications of the thought of life death and survival in Derrida. Specifically, it intervenes in contemporary discussions of the question of normativity in deconstruction by showing how the opening to heterogeneity proper to mortal finitude articulated via the thought of survival allows deconstruction to effect a critical rethinking of the ground for ethics and politics. This thought allows deconstruction to “shake up,” or destabilize, what it diagnoses, following Freud, as an uncritical phantasm of life and death informing our inherited ethico-political concepts: one which most often takes the form of a fundamentally theological notion of life beyond mortal life, what the book designates “superlife.” The chapter concludes by showing how the thought of survival and the deconstruction of the phantasm of something beyond life and mortal finitude undergirds Derrida’s more well-known discussions of justice, the opening to an unpredictable future, and the “to-come” in texts such as Specters of Marx and Rogues.

Authors: Fajardo Kale Bantigue
Published: September 2022

A rigorous consideration of sex-genders as an indispensable analytic within Filipinx American studies necessitates intersectional analysis, given how sex-genders have served as a vehicle for racialization and anti-Filipinx racism. This essay therefore relies on a queer of color critique lens in its reading of a foundational text and survey of relevant literature, aiming for a decolonized understanding of sex-genders.

The selection of four documentaries (Gia Amella’s And They Came to Chicago: The Italian American Legacy (2007) and Maria Iliou’s The Journey: The Greek American Dream (2007) produced in the U.S.; and Tassos Rigopoulos’ Defteri Patrida/Second Motherland (2001) and Gianfranco Norelli’s Pane Amaro/Bitter Bread (2009) produced in Greece and Italy) was determined by the realization that whereas the two U.S. produced documentaries reflected in their narratives aspects that characterized them as celebratory of a community’s post-ethnic status, the two European ones introduced elements that analyzed the meaning and questioned that type of celebratory mood. The European films, under the pressures of the 21st-century migrations across the Mediterranean, shift the focus to issues and themes that politically and academically are relevant to the older migration as well but are still under discussion.
Comparative study on efficacy, tolerability, and cost of different iron supplements among antenatal women with iron-deficiency anemia
Authors: Murugesan Sakthibalan , K Sudakshina , Adhimoolam Mangaiarkkarasi , S Arthi
Published: September 2022

Background: Anemia is one of the most common medical complications encountered during pregnancy. India is among the countries with maximum prevalence of anemia in the world. The commonly used treatment for iron-deficiency anemia is oral iron preparations such as ferrous sulfate, ferrous gluconate, ferrous ascorbate, ferrous fumarate, and parenteral iron sucrose.

Aims and Objectives: The aims of this study were to assess the mean change in the hemoglobin levels from baseline up to 60th day of treatment with different iron supplements and to assess its cost effectiveness ratio.

Materials and Methods: This was a prospective interventional clinical end point study conducted at Sri Venkateshwaraa Medical College Hospital and Research Center, Puducherry, India, from December 2019 to December 2020, among 84 antenatal women (>14 weeks) with iron-deficiency anemia. After getting ethics committee approval, the participants who fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria were randomized to respective treatment groups. Group 1 (n = 21) received ferrous sulfate 200 mg, Group 2 (n = 21) received ferrous ascorbate 200 mg, Group 3 (n = 21) received ferrous fumarate 200 mg twice daily for a period of 60 days, and Group 4 (n = 21) received Iron sucrose 200 mg, based on iron requirement in divided doses and administered once in 2 weeks for a period of 60 days. Hemoglobin (Hb), RBC count, mean corpuscular volume, mea n corpuscular Hb (MCH), MCHC, WBC, platelet count, and cost of the treatment were assessed before and at the end of 60 days. Data were analyzed using GraphPad Prism software version 7.0 using Student “t”-test and one-way ANOVA.

Results: We observed a significant (P < 0.001) rise in the mean Hb level from 10.4 ± 0.4, 10.4 ± 0.5, 10.4 ± 0.5 and 8.5 ± 0.3 to 11.2 ± 0.6 (P = 0.0001), 11.1 ± 0.6 (P = 0.0001), 11.3 ± 0.8(P = 0.0001), and 10.9 ± 0.6 (P = 0.0001) in Group 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively. The average cost effectiveness ratio, with respect to Groups 1, 2, 3, and 4 was Rs. 675, Rs. 1782.9, Rs. 1110.7, and Rs. 786.7 per increase in Hb%, respectively.

Conclusion: The outcome of this study proved the effective role of various oral ferrous iron preparations and all of them were found to be equally efficacious in improving the Hb concentration. However, the injectable iron sucrose showed a significant improvement in mean hemoglobin percentage compared to the various oral preparations. However, on analyzing the cost-effectiveness ratio, it was found out that the cost incurred per increase in Hb% was less in ferrous sulfate group, followed by iron sucrose, ferrous fumarate, and ferrous ascorbate. The results of this study can be helpful in pharmacoeconomical decision making while selecting a cost effective iron supplement for treating iron-deficiency anemia.

Published: September 2022

The aim of the present study is to investigate the boundary layer flow of power-law fluid over the horizontal stretching cylinder. The temperature-dependent thermal conductivity of the power-law fluid is considered. Combined effects of constant thermal conductivity and viscous dissipation are analyzed in heat transfer. The relevant boundary layer partial differential equations (PDEs) are transformed into ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by using suitable transformations. These nonlinear ordinary differential equations are solved by the BVP4C method using MATLAB. The accuracy of computed results is checked by comparing them with existing literature. To discuss the effects of flow parameters on velocity and temperature profiles graphs with numeric values are developed. The constant thermal conductivity and radiation effects are enhanced corresponding to a higher fluid temperature. The thermal boundary layer thickness is enhanced with the increase in Eckert number. The effect of all physical parameters on skin friction coefficient and local Nusselt number are discussed through tables and graphs.

Published: September 2022

Today's world is in turmoil due to the misdeeds of cyber criminals. Cybercriminals at national, regional and international levels are misusing wireless sensor technology to cause serious damage to socioeconomic conditions. Due to the misuse of sensor technology, pandemic diseases, war-conflicts, gender violence, child abuse, climate crisis, heat wave, energy crisis, social unrest, political instability etc. are increasing, which have serious impact on healthcare. The coronavirus pandemic is a non-infectious disease, spread by cybercriminals through advanced wireless sensor technology at certain distances - no doubt about it. Digital tracking, poisoning and extrajudicial killings by this coronavirus around the world are currently a top research concept for scientists, researchers, technologists and medical professionals. Social distancing, wearing masks, self-isolation, handshakes and travel bans have all reduced the workforce in the household, education, economic and technical sectors. The study was conducted as part of the ISNAH examination of higher studies at Universiti Malaysia Sarawak, Malaysia from October 8, 2014 to May 21, 2018 to evaluate with primary and secondary data. Research shows that cybercriminals are misusing advanced wireless sensor technology to hold people, animals and others hostage around the world. Research also shows that cybercriminals are sickening hostages, killing others and even digitally destroying objects by burning them at specific GPS locations. This study shows that the coronavirus was created by cybercriminals for a political agenda and to present the uncertainty of the world's socioeconomic situation and its impact on human society. The socioeconomic situation of different countries is changing abnormally due to the impact of this pandemic. Existing health care policies are inadequate to combat the global pandemic. Vaccines cannot completely cure pandemics, but following the PDRAST top ten principles cures all types of pandemic diseases, which positively enhances socioeconomic conditions. The study helps thinkers develop new ideas and more innovative research. This research is a unique concept, which will encourage applied research to dispel all misconceptions and discover innovations. A coherent global public health protection and safe technology linked to national policies and the Sustainable Development Goals 2030 are essential for a peaceful world against these impacts.
Community Knowledge, Attitude and Practices towards Tuberculosis among Household Heads in Mogadishu, Somalia
Authors: Yusuf - Isleged Mohamed
Published: September 2022

Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease that reappears after they have been on a significant decline occurring worldwide and a source of multi-billion- dollar loss and human fatality yearly. The situation is worse in developing countries like Somalia, where lower knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of the people is impending. A cross sectional survey was conducted between January 2022 and June 2022 to assess the knowledge, attitude and practices towards tuberculosis among 171 household heads in Wadajir district Mogadishu, Somalia. A structured questionnaire was designed, pretested and self-administered to household heads. Human TB was recognized by 157(91.8 %) of household heads, while only 34(19.9%) had heard of animal TB. In the present study, 121(70.8%) of household heads had not considered bovine Tb as zoonosis. Majorities of respondents indicated that they have acquired the awareness about TB from Family/neighbors that accounts for about 80(46.8%), and only 38(22.2%) of them got information from radio/TV. Knowledge on the infectious cause of human and animal TB was known by 4.7%. However, misperceptions such as weather and toxins were also implicated as causes of human TB. In the present study, a significant proportion (48.5%) of the study population used to consume raw milk that was studied as the sources of infection to TB. Herein, the majority of household heads have indicated inhalation (57.3%) and contacts (23.4%) as means of transmission of human tuberculosis and only (15.7%) of respondents mentioned consuming raw animal products. In conclusion, as the bovine tuberculosis is less aware as well as misperception about cause, ways of transmission and prevention towards human tuberculosis on household heads. Thus, it is highly necessary to convey public health education to assemble public awareness about the transmission, etiology, predisposing factors of infection and its prevention and control in the study area.
