Advancements and Considerations in Ceramic Bearings for Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Narrative Review
Authors: Alhomayani Khalid M
Published: July 2024

Objective: Total  hip  arthroplasty  (THA)  is  a  widely  successful orthopedic  procedure  offering  relief  to  patients suffering  from  hip  joint  disorders.  Ceramic  bearings, particularly ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC) surfaces, have gained  attention  for  their  remarkable  tribological properties and biocompatibility. This article discusses the  role  of  ceramic  bearings  in  THA,  including their  historical  background,  stability,  and  potential complications.  It  explores  the  advantages  of  CoC bearings, such as their low wear rates and reduced risk of complications like aseptic loosening and prosthetic joint  infections  and  delves  into  considerations  like ceramic fracture and squeaking phenomena.
Materials and methods:This  article  is  based  on  a  rigorous  literature  search conducted  across  reputable  academic  databases, including  PubMed,  Scopus,  Web  of  Science,  and Google  Scholar,  the  succeeding  search  keywords were  applied:  “total  hip  arthroplasty”,  “ceramic- on-ceramic”,  “total  hip  arthroplasty  dislocation”, “prosthetic  joint  infections”,  “ceramic  fractures”, “aseptic loosening”, “squeaking”.
Conclusion: Ceramic-on-Ceramic (CoC) bearings, while promising, are not commonly used in primary hip arthroplasty due to  cost  concerns  and  surgical  precision  requirements. However, they are gaining ground for younger, active patients. Technological  advancements  have  reduced  the  risks of  implant  fracture.  Additionally,  noise  generation is  not  associated  with  an  increase  incomplication Nevertheless, patients should be informed about these rare risks during the preoperative consent process.

Stressors and Solutions: Addressing the Needs of International Medical Students in Malaysia
Authors: Lugova Halyna , Kader Maideen Siti Fatimah binti , Haque Mainul
Published: July 2024

Medical students face numerous challenges due to demanding academic and environmental requirements set by educational institutions, society, and families. International medical students, in addition, grapple with further hurdles related to their acculturation in a foreign country, including isolation from their family and friends, language and cultural barriers, and individual factors. Although a body of knowledge addresses stressors typical for international medical students in other countries, insufficient attention has been given to this issue in Malaysia, which has recently emerged as an educational hub and a favored destination for young people aspiring to study medicine. It is vital to consider the academic, cultural, and religious aspects of the countries international students come from in the context of their potential acculturative dynamics in the host country. This paper explores factors contributing to stress among international medical students in Malaysia and examines common coping mechanisms relevant to this unique student population. The role of social, institutional, and professional support, religion, language, and personal development has been highlighted. Emphasizing the need for further research to inform tailored interventions aimed at alleviating stress among international medical students and enhancing the educational environment in Malaysian medical schools is crucial.

Authors: Nashath MNF , Mubarak ANM , Kumara ADNT
Published: July 2024

The beneficial alleles possessed by maize landraces are valuable resources for improving novel climate resilient maize varieties via crop breeding initiatives. Therefore, this study investigated the genetic diversity of 20 traditional maize accessions of Sri Lanka using five SSR markers (umc1545, bnlg1627, umc1342, bnlg105 and bnlg1564). A total of 35 alleles were identified by all the SSR markers, with observed allele numbers ranging from 4 (umc1545) to 10 (bnlg1627). The higher values of effective number of alleles, observed heterozygosity, and expected heterozygosity for markers bnlg1627 and bnlg1564 suggest their potential as key contributors in identifying the genetic variability within the maize accessions. The Polymorphism Information Content (PIC) values ranged from 0.670 to 0.827 with a mean value of 0.735, further highlighting the informativeness of the markers. Considering the genetic diversity among the accessions, SEU6, SEU20, and SEU23 consistently displayed higher levels in their genetic diversity values while the genetic dissimilarity values ranged from 0.1 to 1.0 with the mean value of 0.81. The accessions SEU3 and SEU4 were closely linked among the pairwise combinations. Further, the cluster analysis identified five clusters of Sri Lankan maize accessions. Based on the results of this study, SEU6 and SEU20 can be the potential candidates for conservation and beneficial for the adaptability of maize to changing environments. These results can pave the way for targeted maize breeding strategies and highlight the need for continued efforts in improving food, feed and forage industries, with implications for enhancing crop resilience and sustainable agricultural development.

Published: July 2024

Bangladesh has tremendous opportunities to harness the potential of the agriculture sector like in vegetable sector which is contributing to our export sector too. Thus, the main focus of this study is to assess the financial profitability of selected eight major vegetables. The cost and return scenario of eight major vegetables that most of the farmers cultivate in the char land area such as brinjal, tomato, chili, bitter gourd, pumpkin, okra, bottle gourd, and amaranth were done for the study. Study areas were chosen in the districts of Mymensingh, Jamalpur, and Sherpur in Bangladesh following a simple random sampling procedure where 240 farmers were surveyed. The results show that the highest and lowest net return found for bottle gourd and okra, were Tk. 195,118 ha-1 and Tk. 32,894 ha-1, respectively. Further, in terms of gross return, bottle gourd production is the most profitable but in terms of net return both the brinjal and tomato are in the same position. The benefit-cost ratio (BCR) was the highest (1.98) for bottle gourd followed by tomato (1.96). Among the cost items, labor cost occupies more than half of the total cost which proves that vegetable production is labor-intensive cultivation. The ranking by variable and total cost revealed that farmers frequently choose the lowest-cost production method and the okra is the most preferred product in that method. However, a ranking of the probability of all vegetables was also done. This ranking will help farmers to take their decision according to their resource availability.

Fruit Flies (Diptera: Tephritidae: Dacinae: Dacini) Species Diversity In Nepal: A Review
Authors: Sapkota Rekha , Dahal Kishor Chandra , KC GB , Bajracharya ARS , Thapa RB
Published: July 2024

The tribe Dacini, within the sub-family Dacinae of the Tephritidae family, includes major fruit flies within the genera Zeugodacus, Bactrocera, and Dacus. The Bactrocera spp., which were previously grouped into sub-genera Zeugodacus and Bactrocera, have been treated as separate genera in recent years. These dacine flies are widely spread in fruits and vegetables. The first dacine fruit fly, i.e. D. (Callantra) nepalensis reported in 1964 from Nepal is still a holotype. Altogether, 27 species have been reported in Nepal from three genera–Dacus (6), Zeugodacus (8), and Bactrocera (13), of which 10 species are attracted to cue-lure, 7 species to methyl eugenol, 2 species to zingerone, 1 species to lati-lure and 5 species to more than one lure, while lure for 2 species are unknown. Among them, 7 species are oligophagous pests, 6 species are polyphagous pests, and the pest status of 14 species is unknown. Fruit fly infestation and damage have been recorded in different crops such as; 5 species on cucurbits, 2 species on different fruits, 4 species on different fruits and vegetables, 1 species on citrus fruits, and 1 species on solanaceous vegetables. Three species; Z. cucurbitae, Z. tau, and B. minax, have been recorded from infested fruit cultures of cucurbits and sweet orange too. However, pest status, preferred hosts, and biology of many species remain yet to be explored and reported from Nepal. Further studies are necessary focusing on fruit fly species of economic importance concerning host preference for developing appropriate management strategy. Efforts are needed to identify the fruit fly species that inflict actual damage to the hosts.

Authors: Lotha AM , Sethi LN , Kikon L , Pielie J
Published: July 2024

Tomatoes are a prevalent crop commonly cultivated in the Indian state of Assam. An experiment was carried out to assess the impact of varying irrigation schedules on water use efficiency for tomato cultivation within and outside polyhouses in hilly terrain. Four drip irrigation levels were tested: Treatment-1 (T-1) (50% of crop evapotranspiration, ETc), T-2 (75% of ETc), T-3 (100% of ETc), and T-4 (125% of ETc), analysing their effects on crop growth, yield, economic benefit and water use efficiency. Tomato plants (Lycopersicon esculentum) were grown in both polyhouses and open fields, with three replications per irrigation treatment. Measurements of fruit number, individual fruit length, and yield were taken at 5-day intervals. T-1 in polyhouses exhibited superior growth and the highest yield compared to other treatments, demonstrating elevated water use efficiency. This research underscores the potential of polyhouses to enhance year-round vegetable productivity and water use efficiency in North East India's hilly regions, offering solutions for agricultural water scarcity challenges.

Extremist Ideologies: Youth and Schools
Authors: Cherubini Lorenzo
Published: July 2024

According to a House of Commons Report (2022) on public safety, hate motivated ideologies are spreading consistently across Canada. Moreover, the Report cites youth among those particularly vulnerable to right-wing ideologies thereby complementing the literature that suggests that youth and radical right-wing ideologies are positioned at a precarious intersection. Particularly notable and worth distinguishing are youth cultural right-wing extremist groups whose ambition is not completely independent from right-wing extremists. Youth cultural right-wing extremist groups especially rely on the internet and social media as a means of recruiting members to the organization and to spread widely their radical ideologies. It is not enough, though, to make overly simplistic claims that youth, such as the youth cultural right-wing extremists, have a periphery existence in cyber spaces and a generalized association to more sophisticated right-wing extremist groups. Youth cultural right-wing extremist groups are characteristic of cultures that consist of a hateful discourse that celebrates ethnonationalist values, beliefs, and traditions. Research points to the fact that the dialogue, often antagonistic, appeals to youth that are attracted by these radical views. Education systems have been identified as sites where radical and extremist tendencies and ideologies can be directly addressed by educators, given the substantial amount of time that youth spend in schools. The paper discusses both the interventions and implications related to addressing extremist ideologies in educational contexts.

A leishmaniose tegumentar americana (LTA) é uma doença infecciosa de evolução crônica e de transmissão vetorial. É a forma mais prevalente das leishmanioses, estando diretamente relacionadas à pobreza, gerando significativo impacto social. Considerando sua ocorrência no Nordeste do Brasil, aqui objetivou-se realizar uma caracterização epidemiológica, análise da incidência e de tendência de LTA em vinte anos. Os dados processados foram obtidos do Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde (DATASUS) do Ministério da Saúde, e para a análise de tendência temporal utilizou modelos de regressão de joinpoint (regressão linear segmentada). Ao todo foram 141.140 casos de LTA notificados, sendo Bahia, Maranhão e Ceará os estados com maiores notificações. Os resultados obtidos mostraram que houve uma diminuição dos casos ao longo do período de estudo. As características epidemiológicas predominantes foram: sexo masculino (62,44%), faixa etária de 20 a 39 anos (34,57%) e etnia parda (56,15%). Na forma clinica a leishmaniose cutânea foi predominante (94,51%), 91,77% foram de casos novos e 78,34% de casos autóctones. Na análise de tendência temporal Bahia foi crescente entre 2004 e 2010 (APC= 17,8*; p-valor 0,014). A partir de 2011 os padrões foram de declínio na maioria dos estados, apenas Alagoas, Paraíba e Rio Grande do Norte não tiveram mudanças nos números, permanecendo estacionados para o período. O estudo nos permite compreender a dinâmica da LTA na região e contribuir com os sistemas de saúde a nível regional e estadual para uma vigilância e um controle efetivo.

Objetivo: A prescrição de medicamentos off-label é inevitável na prática clínica neonatal e pediátrica e seu uso pode representar riscos. Este estudo foi conduzido para caracterizar o perfil epidemiológico dos medicamentos off-label e/ou não licenciados prescritos para pacientes de uma unidade de terapia intensiva neonatal de um hospital exclusivamente pediátrico do Brasil de alta complexidade. Métodos: estudo descritivo e transversal, incluindo todas as prescrições médicas do ano de 2019. Os dados foram expressos em média e mediana, ou frequência absoluta e relativa. Resultados: foram registrados 24.787 itens de prescrição referentes a 102 medicamentos. Destes, 58% eram off-label e 25% não licenciados. As classes de medicamentos mais prescritas foram os anti-infecciosos e os medicamentos do sistema nervoso central. Além disso, 12% se classificaram como medicamentos de alta vigilância, destacando-se o fentanil (51,0%) como principal fármaco. Conclusão: este estudo reforça a importância do farmacêutico como um vigilante fundamental na compreensão do perfil epidemiológico dos medicamentos utilizados na neonatologia e das potenciais reações adversas que estes medicamentos podem causar.

A epilepsia é uma condição neurológica crônica caracterizada por convulsões recorrentes e sem cura definitiva, afetando significativamente a qualidade de vida dos pacientes. O tratamento convencional envolve o uso de drogas antiepilépticas, que, embora sejam eficazes no controle das crises, podem causar uma série de efeitos colaterais prejudiciais e não abordam a causa subjacente da doença. Além disso, pacientes com epilepsia resistente a medicamentos enfrentam desafios adicionais, incluindo comprometimento cognitivo e baixo desempenho educacional e ocupacional. Nesse contexto, a pesquisa de novas alternativas de tratamento para a epilepsia se torna crucial. Uma área promissora é o estudo dos extratos naturais de plantas medicinais, que têm sido investigados por seu potencial antiepilético. Este estudo se concentra nas famílias Passifloraceae, Zingiberaceae e Cannabaceae devido à sua riqueza em compostos bioativos com propriedades farmacológicas. A pesquisa científica revelou que várias espécies dessas famílias de plantas possuem atividades antiepilépticas e anticonvulsivantes, fornecendo uma base para o desenvolvimento de novos tratamentos. No entanto, os desafios enfrentados na obtenção de patentes e no desenvolvimento de produtos fitoterápicos no Brasil destacam a necessidade de investimentos adicionais e políticas regulatórias claras nessa área. Portanto, a pesquisa contínua sobre o potencial terapêutico das plantas medicinais, juntamente com esforços para melhorar o acesso a tratamentos inovadores, é essencial para melhorar o manejo da epilepsia e a qualidade de vida dos pacientes.

A aterosclerose é uma disfunção que afeta o endotélio que reveste a artéria, tornando mais susceptível a deposição de LDL na íntima, sua camada mais interna. A LDL oxidada estimula as células endoteliais a secretarem moléculas que promovem a migração de monócitos da corrente sanguínea para a região lesionada. No tecido, os monócitos se diferenciam em macrófagos que fagocitam as partículas de LDL oxidadas e formam as células espumosas que desencadeiam a placa de ateroma que causa o enrijecimento dos vasos e dificulta a passagem do sangue, e seu rompimento gera complicações cardiovasculares como o infarto e o acidente vascular cerebral. Os hábitos alimentares exercem um papel determinante nessa patologia, onde os alimentos fontes de gorduras saturadas e trans podem favorecer o desenvolvimento da aterosclerose por aumentarem as concentrações séricas de LDL. Em contrapartida, uma dieta com alimentos fontes de fibras mais e menos solúveis, ácidos graxos insaturados, compostos bioativos e micronutrientes antioxidantes previne o desenvolvimento da aterosclerose, pois contribui para a redução dos teores séricos da LDL e a neutralização das espécies reativas derivados do oxigênio e do nitrogênio. O objetivo deste trabalho foi realizar uma revisão narrativa sobre os aspectos bioquímicos e imunológicos da aterosclerose, e os fatores dietéticos contribuintes para sua prevenção e/ou tratamento. Por ser uma doença que ocasiona sérias complicações ao sistema cardiovascular, como infarto e acidente vascular cerebral, torna-se importante a aplicação de medidas profiláticas para prevenir tal comorbidade.

Published: July 2024

Non-diabetic nodular glomerulosclerosis or idiopathic glomerulosclerosis is an uncommon condition with a poor prognosis. The study reports the case of a 54-year-old male patient, J.F.D.S., with no previous comorbidities, a former small-scale alcoholic, diagnosed with hypertension and asthma four months previously. During follow-up, he presented with hypertension that was difficult to control, and due to a complaint of asthenia, he underwent laboratory tests which were compatible with a progressive worsening of renal function. The renal biopsy showed non-diabetic nodular glomerulosclerosis. This case report portrays a rare disease with a poor prognosis and no established treatment, so studies are needed to better manage this condition. The objective of the study is to present and discuss a clinical case of non-diabetic nodular glomerulosclerosis secondary to multiple myeloma, describing the diagnostic methods used and the patient's evolution.

Background: Low doses of different ketamine enantiomers have demonstrated rapid behavioural and biological actions in animals with depressive-like behavior. However, some authors report different effects depending on model of depression and ketamine isomer used. Objective: Our primary aim was to evaluate the effect of ketamine enantiomers on depressive-like behavior, anhedonic-like behavior and locomotor activity of rats subjected to maternal deprivation (MD). Secondarily, we investigated the Brain-derived neurotrophic factor plasma concentration between experimental groups. Methods: Male rats (n=71) were randomized into seven experimental groups: one non-deprived with placebo and other six deprived split into control and intervention groups. Rats were treated with a single intraperitoneal dose of ketamine, esketamine, or arketamine. One hour after drug application, we performed experimental tests to evaluate the antidepressant-like behavior and locomotor activity. Furthermore, blood was collected to measure plasmatic BDNF levels. Results: We did not observe induction of depressive-like in rats subjected to MD. Furthermore, there was no change in BDNF (F (6,64) = 0.9664, p=0.455) between all experimental groups. Conclusion: Neither MD nor the different ketamine isomers were able to change depressive-like behavior or plasma BDNF levels.

Cultivares de soja apresentam desempenho agronômico diferenciado em função do ambiente de produção. Objetivou-se estudar o desempenho agronômico e a adaptabilidade de diferentes cultivares de soja avaliadas nos municípios de Cândido Mota, Palmital e Brotas visando identificar as mais adequadas ao plantio na região, auxiliando os produtores e técnicos regionais na escolha dos materiais a serem plantados nas safras vindouras. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi o de blocos inteiramente casualizados, com 19 cultivares e 4 repetições por ensaio, sendo que as médias foram agrupadas pelo teste de Scott-Knott a 5% de probabilidade. Informações sobre adaptabilidade e estabilidade foram determinadas pelo procedimento de Annicchiarico (1992), modificado por Schmildt et al. (2011). Os caracteres avaliados foram: altura de plantas, altura de inserção da primeira vagem (AIPV), produtividade de grãos e massa de mil grãos (MMG). Verificou-se que há diferença na produtividade de grãos, MMG, altura de plantas e AIPV entre as cultivares avaliadas nos diferentes ambientes. Existem cultivares comerciais com adaptabilidade ampla (HO Paraguaçu, HO Iguaçu) e cultivares com adaptabilidade específica (DM 66i68, NK 6356, NS 6446, GH 6433) em função do ambiente de produção. Avaliações regionais devem ser realizadas continuamente e em diferentes locais a fim de se obter informações consistentes acerca do desempenho agronômico de novas cultivares.
