Introduction : le drainage thoracique joue un rôle majeur dans l’évacuation des épanchements pleuraux qui constituent des facteurs d’altération de la dynamique respiratoire. Il présente des indications bien codifiées qui visent à limiter les complications. Nous avons mené cette étude afin de décrire la pratique du drainage thoracique des épanchements pleuraux dans un hôpital à ressources limitées du Togo.
Méthode : il s’est agi d’une une étude monocentrique, prospective et descriptive menée sur une période de 6 mois allant de février à juillet 2022.
Résultats : Soixante-sept drainages pleuraux ont été réalisés avec une prédominance masculine (sex-ratio à 1,68) et un âge moyen de 40,35 ± 17,43 ans. Tous nos patients présentaient une douleur thoracique, une fièvre et une détresse respiratoire qui étaient présentes dans respectivement 76,12% et 95,52% des cas. Les causes non traumatiques étaient prédominantes (76,12%). Il s’agissait essentiellement de pleurésies purulentes d’origine bactérienne (55,22%). Le drainage a été réalisé sous anesthésie locale et par voie axillaire. Nous avons noté des complications dans 56,72% des cas dont essentiellement des douleurs pariétales lors de la pose.
Conclusion : le drainage thoracique est une pratique courante au CHR de Dapaong. Ses indications sont dominées par les pleurésies purulentes. Bien qu’aisément réalisables, ces drainages restent toutefois couplés à un fort taux de complications.

Introduction: thoracic drainage plays a major role in the evacuation of pleural effusions, which can impair respiratory dynamics. There are well-coded indications for thoracic drainage, which aim to limit the frequent complications. We conducted this study to describe the practice of thoracic drainage in a hospital with limited resources in Togo.
Methodology: This single center, prospective and descriptive study was conducted over 6 months.
Results: sixty-seven pleural drainages were performed, with a predominance of males (sex ratio 1.68) and a mean age of 40.35 ± 17.43 years. All our patients presented with chest pain, and fever and respiratory distress were present in 76.12% and 95.52% of cases respectively. Non-traumatic causes predominated (76.12%). These were mainly purulent pleurisy of bacterial origin (55.22%). Drainage was performed under local anaesthetic via the axillary route. Complications were noted in 56.72% of cases, mainly parietal pain during insertion.
Conclusion: Thoracic drainage is common practice at the Dapaong Regional Hospital. Its indications are dominated by purulent pleurisy. Although easily performed, drainage is associated with a high rate of complications.
Modelling spatial distributions of sediments fingerprinting in the Ruvu Basin of Tanzania without continuous sediment monitoring
Authors: Kasanzu Charles H.
Published: May 2024

This study investigates various hinterlands’ contribution of sediments into the sub-basin known as Ruvu that comprises Mindu, Kibungo, Mvuha and Mindu catchments of Morogoro, Eastern Tanzania. An integrated geochemical and isotopic data were used to constrain this. Strategic sampling of basement and silty-sized sediments was conducted and the data were modelled using mass-balance computations. This approach revealed that, more than 70% of suspended sediments in the Mgeta River originate from Kigalamila, Sezima, Kingule, Mafumbo and Kibuko areas. Thus, hills north of Kisaki are major contributors of sediments with less contribution from the southern terrain. After modelling of the data from Mvuha sub-catchment, results suggest that the sediments (~50%) originate from Msuluzi area and significant erosion comes from Vihengele region. Evidence for Vihengele is also due to elevated CaCO3 abundances in the Mvuha samples from the calcareous rocks. Sediments in the Mindu sub-catchment largely originate from Msaga and Monde areas that are dominated by granulites and gneisses based on simulated mixing calculations. Thus, the extreme southern part of the sub-catchment is more prone to erosion. Sediments of more than 47% for the Kibungo sub-catchment originate from the Mfizigo area. However, no significant erosive activities in the catchment were noted.
Application of Remote Sensing and Spectroradiometry in Geological Mapping: a case study of Handeni (QDS 148) Block, Eastern Mozambique Belt, Tanzania
Authors: Magigita Masota M , Mshiu Elisante , Mtelela Cassy
Published: May 2024

This study applies remote sensing (RS) as a geologic mapping aid tool , using Handeni Block of Tanzania as a case study. To achieve the objective of this study, we have utilized various RS processing and image enhancement techniques on multispectral data, including ASTER, Landsat 5, Landsat 8, and Sentinel 2A. The method proved successful whereby both Landsat-5-data with band combination (BC) 7:4:2 and 7:5:4 and band ratio (BR) 5/3:5/1:7/5 and Landsat-8 data with BCs 5:6:7 and 7:6:4 mapped out marble units. Sentinel 2A data (with BC 8:11:3, BRs 12/2:11/2:8/11; 12/4:11/3:11/2 and 12/4:12/2:11/3) together with image enhancement decorrelation stretch on BC 4:3:2 and BC 8:11:3 images succeeded to map other major geologic units. The findings were tested using another approach, an unsupervised classification (K-means algorithm) of Landsat 8 data and unsupervised and supervised classifications by IsoData and minimum distance algorithms, respectively. Similar results were obtained from the image classification whereby Sentinel 2A data produced classified images, which consistently delineate the same lithologies. Geologic structures (lineaments) have been mapped by ASTER DEM data. The result from supervised classification using end-member spectra of the collected representative rock samples also supports the remotely sensed lithologies, demonstrating the usefulness of RS in geologic mapping. The finding of this work have shown that the integration of RS and rock spectral analyses can be used as a robust aiding tool in geologic mapping. The method is more resource efficient than a purely conventional approach.
Gene Flow Between the Wild Rice Species (Oryza longistaminata) and Two Varieties of Cultivated Rice (Oryza sativa) in Kilombero District, Tanzania
Authors: Mangosongo Hashim M. , Mneney Emmarold E. , Wanjala Bramwel
Published: May 2024

The direction and rate of gene flow between the perennial wild rice species, O. longistaminata and cultivated rice, O. sativa was investigated using nine Microsatellite (SSR) markers. The study involved characterization of parental lines of two cultivated rice varieties and O. longistaminata and their F1 progenies. Presence of crop-specific alleles in the wild species or vice-versa was used as an indicator of occurrence of gene flow between the two species. The study revealed that gene flow between O. longistaminata and each of the two varieties of O. sativa occurs naturally. The direction of gene flow was mainly from the cultivated to wild species. The rate (frequency) of gene flow was higher from cultivated (O. sativa) to wild rice (O. longistaminata) than from O. longistaminata to O. sativa and varied with cultivated rice variety. Higher rate of gene flow from cultivated to wild species could be due to floral structure and out-crossing nature of the wild species (O. longistaminata). Gene flow between O. longistaminata and O. sativa is likely to change genetic integrity of natural populations of the two species in areas where they occur sympatrically. However, isolation by distance can help to control gene flow between these species.

Authors: Chiumbi Hussein R. , Mangosongo Hashim M.
Published: May 2024

This study assessed the genetic diversity of 120 selected cashew plants from Nachingwea and Newala traditional cashew populations, comprising of 60 cashew plants from each population. Eight Simple Sequence Repeats (SSR) makers were used to ascertain the extent of genetic variation within and between the two traditional cashew populations. Genomic DNA extraction and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) were performed using standard protocols.  The results showed that all SSR markers were polymorphic. Average Polymorphic Information Content (PIC), heterozygosity, number of alleles per locus, allelic frequency and Shannon’s Index were 0.540, 0.721, 3.391, 0.666 and 0.649, respectively.  Analysis of molecular variance results showed that genetic variation within populations was 88% while genetic variation between populations was 12%, implying gene flow between the populations. The results further showed that the two cashew populations are genetically diverse and that Nachingwea traditional cashew population was genetically more diverse than Newala population. High genetic variation observed in the cashew populations shows that they are suitable for use in cashew breeding programmes. Thus, conservation of traditional cashew populations is recommended

Published: May 2024

Little is known about the status of forest condition and carbon storage potential of Mkulazi forest reserve (MFR) located in Morogoro District, Tanzania. This study was conducted to assess i) woody species composition, richness and diversity, ii) stand structure, iii) regeneration status and iv) carbon storage. Data collection for vegetation involved establishment of 100 concentric circular sample plots in the forest area of 65,710 ha. A total of 54 plant species for trees and shrubs with DBH ≥ 5 cm that belongs to 20 plant families were identified. The diversity of woody species was high (H’ = 3.11), while  Stem density was 336 ± 126 stems ha-1, basal area was 9.48 ± 2.88 m2ha-1 and stand volume was 96.22 ± 32.51 m3ha-1. For the regeneration with DBH < 5 cm, a total of 26 plant species belonging to 11 plant families were identified. The diversity of woody species was also high (H’ = 3.14) and stem density was 1,198 ± 847 stems ha-1. The mean carbon stocks above ground for trees and shrubs with DBH ≥ 5 cm were 32.13 ± 10.91 Mg C ha-1 and that of below ground were 11.84 ± 3.58 Mg C ha-1. The observed high diversity of woody species, regeneration status and relatively high carbon storage potential signifies the importance of continuing protecting this reserve.

Sociodemographic Factors and Policy Implications for Improved Food Security
Authors: Cahyono Tri Wahyu , Tokuda Hiromi
Published: May 2024

Ensuring food security is a pressing challenge facing East Kalimantan, and practical solutions are necessary. With the impending relocation of Indonesia's capital to this region, it's crucial to evaluate the area's food security in light of projected population growth and economic shifts. Prior to the new capital city project, it's essential to understand East Kalimantan's socio-economic factors to develop policies that strengthen food security for the future. This research uses logistic regression to analyze data from the Food Insecurity Experience Scale (FIES) module of the 2021 National Socio-Economic Survey (Susenas-BPS). The results show that 14.75% of households experience food insecurity, while 85.25% maintain food security. Factors such as education, family size, land ownership, marital status, employment, residence, and retirement security influence food security status significantly. However, age, gender, and home ownership have little impact. Notably, agricultural workers are more likely to experience food insecurity, while education and land ownership correlate with higher food security. Additionally, larger families are more vulnerable to food insecurity.
Safety assessment: Synthetic Cannabidiol (CBD) as a novel food for use in food supplements
Authors: Regulated Products Risk Assessment Team
Published: May 2024

An application was submitted to the Food Standards Agency (FSA) and Food Standards Scotland (FSS) in January 2021 from Chanelle McCoy CBD Ltd (“the applicant”) for the authorisation of synthetic cannabidiol (CBD) as a novel food. The novel food is a synthetic >98% pure form CBD which is intended to be used as food supplements for adults. For CBD a provisional Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) of 10 mg/day has been published by the FSA and was considered in assessing this novel food. The provisional ADI (section 2.7) was recommended, subject to the existing advice to consumers that pregnant and breastfeeding women and people taking any prescription medication should avoid the consumption of CBD. Consumers on regular medications should seek advice from a medical professional before using any type of CBD food product. In addition, children and prospective parents trying for a baby are advised against consumption of CBD, as are those who are immunosuppressed, due to remaining data gaps and residual uncertainties concerning the safety of CBD for these groups of consumers. These contraindications would also apply to this novel food. To support the FSA and FSS in their evaluations of the application, the Advisory Committee on Novel Foods and Processes (ACNFP) were asked to review the dossier and supplementary information provided by the applicant. Please note the Committee did not consider any potential health benefits or claims arising from consuming the food, as the focus of the novel food assessment is to ensure the food is safe, and not putting consumers at a nutritional disadvantage. The FSA and FSS concluded based on the advice of the ACNFP, that the applicant had provided sufficient information to assure the novel food, synthetic CBD, was safe under the proposed conditions of use. The anticipated intake levels and the proposed use in foods and food supplements was not considered to be nutritionally disadvantageous. The views of the ACNFP have been taken into account in the regulatory assessment which represents the opinions of the FSA and FSS.

Overall, the findings underscored the importance of proactive intervention and supportive measures in mitigating verbal violence among students.
Effects of Red Bean Flour Substitution (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) On making sweet Kue Simping On Physical Quality And Consumer Acceptability
Authors: Habsoh Siti
Published: May 2024

This study investigates the potential of red bean flour substitution in enhancing the physical quality and acceptability of sweet Kue Simping, a traditional Indonesian snack. Conducted at the Pastry and Bakery Processing Laboratory of the Culinary Education Program, State University of Jakarta, from February 2022 to January 2024, the research employed an experimental approach. Sweet Kue Simping cakes were substituted with red bean flour at varying percentages of 5%, 10%, and 15%, and evaluated by 30 moderately trained panelists. Statistical analyses, including the Friedman test, revealed no significant effect of red bean flour substitution on the acceptability of sweet Kue Simping in terms of various sensory attributes. However, physical quality tests using ANOVA demonstrated a significant influence of red bean flour substitution on the diameter of sweet Kue Simping. Duncan's test further confirmed notable differences among the treatments. The study recommends utilizing a 5% substitution of red bean flour to develop sweet Kue Simping, offering a novel approach to diversify traditional snacks and potentially reduce reliance on tapioca flour. Furthermore, data collection and analysis techniques were meticulously applied to ensure replicability and comprehensive interpretation of the research findings.

RE-TREATMENT OF MISMANAGED BILATERAL CONDYLAR FRACTURE AND POST-SURGICAL COMPLICATION
Authors: Oyagi Shuka , Anggayanti Nyoman Ayu , Swayoga Anak Agung Manik , Sastrawan Agus Dwi , Oli'i Eka Marwansyah
Published: May 2024

Introduction: Improper management of condyle fractures can lead to changes in the structure of the temporomandibular joint, which can impact the patient's oral function. Corrective surgery is necessary to restore the patient's function and quality of life. This case report aims to discuss the procedure of bilateral condylectomy in neglected condylar fracture, as well as the risks and post-operative complication management.
Case: A 26-year-old female patient presented with mandibular hypomobility and occasional temporomandibular pain. The patient had history of a traffic accident around four months ago, and was managed in a public hospital but symptoms persisted.
Case Treatment: After thorough examinations, the patient was diagnosed with neglected complete bilateral condylar fracture with displacement and managed via bilateral condylectomy. Post-operative, the patient presented with anterior open-bite and facial paralysis on the right side, and was treated accordingly. During 4-month follow-up, complications and chief complaints had all subsided.
Discussions: Mismanagement of condylar fracture could result in malunion of fragments, which is difficult to reposition due to the changes that have already occurred in the temporomandibular structure. Condylectomy is often necessary to relieve symptoms, although bilateral condylectomy poses certain neurological risks. Prompt recognition and intervention of nerve injury is important to prevent permanent complication.
Conclusion and Suggestions: Condylectomy could properly treat neglected bilateral condylar fracture in adult patients. Operators must know the associated risk and management of post-operative complications.

Authors: Wang Cheng , Xie Yixing , Deng Zhiyong , Yuan Huanyan , Tian Mingzhu , Mao Pan , Zhou Yong , Wei Ying
Published: May 2024

At a particular aquaculture facility in Zhangjiajie in China, the Chinese giant salamander (Andrias davidianus) exhibited analogous clinical manifestations, culminating in sequential mortalities. This study used rigorous aseptic sampling methods to isolate bacteria from the affected liver of salamanders to determine the causative agent behind the decline in amphibians. A bacterial pathogen was isolated from diseased A. davidianus, and the strain was named DN-3. This isolate was subjected to bacterial identification, antibiotic susceptibility assays, reinfection experiments, and biochemical profiling. The isolated bacterial strain was definitively identified as Acinetobacter schindleri using 16S rRNA sequence analysis and biochemical identification. Antibiotic susceptibility testing revealed that this isolate was susceptible to neomycin, macrolides, doxycycline, piperacillin, nitrofurantoin, and carbenicillin. Subsequent reinfection assays, in which varying concentrations of the bacterial inoculum were administered to healthy salamanders, confirmed that the pathogen elicited varying degrees of morbidity or mortality within an eight-day observation period. The median lethal dose (LD50) of A. schindleri DN-3 for A. davidianus was calculated to be 6.25×104 CFU/mL. This result supports the significant pathogenicity of the strain for A. davidianus. The findings of this study provide empirical insights into the clinical management and epidemiological control of diseases affecting A. davidianus.

Published: May 2024

The study of arbitrary patch antenna design represents a critical endeavor in the advancement of wireless communications technologies. This study delves into the construction of a random patch antenna using 3D electromagnetic software, namely the HFSS simulation program. By altering the antenna's physical structure, particularly its ground plane and patch section, we hope to enhance the antenna's performance. Antenna efficiency as measured by gain, S11 parameter, and bandwidth is compared between two different materials, FR4 and Rogers, with varying relative permittivity. Advancements in communications systems and technologies have been made possible by optimizing efficiency, reducing antenna size, and improving performance through modifications to the patch antenna's material composition and design.

Purpose: This study explores how children and adolescents perceive physical activity (PA) and PA apps. We aim to understand their perceptions, past experiences, and expectations of PA and PA apps. Methods: Participants (N=39) aged 11-15 from five European countries: Netherlands (NL), Poland (PL), Portugal (PT), Spain (ES), and Sweden (SWE) participated in the study. They provided insight regarding Behaviour Chance Techniques (BCTs) that enhance app engagement. Results: The results offer valuable insights for creating fun and engaging adolescent PA apps that meet diverse user preferences. They also provide invaluable guidance for designing PA apps that boost adolescents' enjoyment, fun, and engagement while considering a broad spectrum of user preferences. Key BCTs identified as significantly impacting app engagement included self-monitoring, rewards, feedback, social support, action planning, and reminders - preferences and suggestions varied by gender, age, and PA levels. Conclusions: Findings in the present study inform the MOVE4FUN project that contributes to understanding how BCTs promote sustained PA in adolescents. It underscores the pivotal role of personalised app design and a supportive climate in fulfilling individual needs and intrinsic goals. These insights contribute significantly to developing educational tools that encourage regular PA and nurture the holistic development of physically educated citizens.
