Published: March 2024

Point-of-care technology (POCT) plays a vital role in modern healthcare by providing a fast diagnosis, improving patient management, and extending healthcare access to remote and resource-limited areas. The objective of this study was to understand how healthcare professionals in the United States perceived POCTs during 2019–2021 to assess the decision-making process of implementing these newer technologies into everyday practice. A 5-point Likert scale survey was sent to respondents to evaluate their perceptions of benefits, concerns, characteristics, and development of point-of-care technologies. The 2021 survey was distributed November 1st, 2021- February 15th, 2022, with a total of 168 independent survey responses received. Of the respondents, 59% identified as male, 73% were white, and 48% have been in practice for over 20 years. The results showed that most agreed that POCTs improve patient management (94%) and improve clinician confidence in decision making (92%). Healthcare professionals were most concerned with potentially not being reimbursed for the cost of the POCT (37%). When asked to rank the top 3 important characteristics of POCT, respondents chose accuracy, ease of use, and availability. It is important to note this survey was conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic. To achieve an even greater representation of healthcare professionals’ point of view on POCTs, further work to obtain responses from a larger, more diverse population of providers is needed.

Foodborne outbreaks associated with Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) contaminated wheat flour have been an increasing food safety concern in recent decades. However, there is little literature aimed at investigating the impact of different flour types on the persistence of STEC during storage and thermal inactivation. Therefore, two serovars of STEC, O121 and O157, were selected to inoculate each of five different types of common wheat flours: whole wheat, bleached, unbleached, bread, and self-rising. Inoculated flours were examined for the stability of STEC during storage for up to 42 days at room temperature (RT) and aw ~0.56. Additionally, the thermal resistance of O121 and O157 under isothermal conditions at 60, 70, 80, and 90°C was analyzed for the inoculated flours. STEC storage persistence at RT was generally not affected by flour type, however, decreases of 1.2 and 2.4 log CFU/day within whole wheat flour for O121 and O157, respectively, were significantly lower than other flours. Though few differences were identified in relation to flour type, O121 exhibited significantly better survival rates than O157 during both equilibrium and storage periods. Compared to an approximate 6 log reduction in the population of O157, O121 population levels were reduced by a significantly lower amount (~3 log) during the entire storage period at RT. At each isothermal temperature, the impact of flour type on the thermal resistance capabilities of O121 or O157 was not a significant factor and resulted in similar survival curves regardless of serovar. Instead of exhibiting linear survival curves, both O121 and O157 displayed nonlinear curves with some shoulder/tail effect. Similar for both O121 and O157, the predicted decimal reduction time (D-value) decreased from approximately 25 min to around 8 min as the isothermal temperature increased from 60°C to 90°C. Results reported here can contribute to risk assessment models concerning contamination of STEC in wheat flour and add to our understanding of the impacts of flour type and STEC serovar on desiccation stability during storage and isothermal inactivation during thermal treatment.

Authors: Zhou Xiaobing , Zhang Yongling , Wang Wei , Li Xin , Yang Huanhuan , Sun Yiting
Published: March 2024

Extreme precipitation usually cause grievous losses&casualties, which varies greatly under different scenarios. This paper took Henan province as an example, it innovatively constructed three different extreme precipitation scenarios and built indicators system of social vulnerability from exposure, sensitivity and resilience based on MOVE framework. Social Vulnerability Indexs(SoVI) were then calculated by mathematical models under three different reoccurrence intervals. The results show that SoVI was low in the west and high in the north. High SoVI areas expanded to the middle and south as recurrence intervals increased. SoVI in each area of Henan province increased along with the recurrence intervals at different growth rates. The larger the recurrence interval was, the faster the SoVI increased. The results indicate SoVI is greatly affected by disaster levels, which need to be incorporated into social vulnerability. This study provides not only a new thought for social vulnerability assessment, but also a reference for the policymakers to formulate related risk management policies.
Real-time resolution studies of the regulation of lactate production by hexokinases binding to mitochondria in single cells
Authors: John Scott , Calmettes Guillaume , Xu Shili , Ribalet Bernard
Published: March 2024

During hypoxia accumulation of lactate may be a key factor in acidosis-induced tissue damage. Binding of hexokinase (HK) to the outer membrane of mitochondria may have a protective effect under these conditions. We have investigated the regulation of lactate metabolism by hexokinases (HKs), using HEK293 cells in which the endogenous hexokinases have been knocked down to enable overexpression of wild type and mutant HKs. To assess the real-time changes in intracellular lactate levels the cells were also transfected with a lactate specific FRET probe. In the HKI/HKII double knockdown HEK cells, addition of extracellular pyruvate caused a large and sustained decrease in lactate. Upon inhibition of the mitochondrial electron transfer chain by NaCN this effect was reversed as a rapid increase in lactate developed which was followed by a slow and sustained increase in the continued presence of the inhibitor. Incubation of the HKI/HKII double knockdown HEK cells with the inhibitor of the malic enzyme, ME1*, blocked the delayed accumulation of lactate evoked by NaCN. With replacement by overexpression of HKI or HKII the accumulation of intracellular lactate evoked by NaCN was prevented. Blockage of the pentose phosphate pathway with the inhibitor 6-aminonicotinamide (6-AN) abolished the protective effect of HK expression, with NaCN causing again a sustained increase in lactate. The effect of HK was dependent on HK’s catalytic activity and interaction with the mitochondrial outer membrane (MOM). Based on these data we propose that transformation of glucose into G6P by HK activates the pentose phosphate pathway which increases the production of NADPH, which then blocks the activity of the malic enzyme to transform malate into pyruvate and lactate.

Background and Aim: Bovine tuberculosis (TB) is a zoonotic disease of great public health importance, particularly in Indonesia, where control measures are limited or are not implemented. This study aimed to detect the presence of Mycobacterium pathogens in milk samples from dairy cattle in Pasuruan regency and Surabaya City, East Java, using Ziehl–Neelsen acid-fast staining and polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

Materials and Methods: Milk samples were aseptically collected from 50 cattle in the Lekok Subdistrict, Pasuruan Regency, and 44 from dairy farms in the Lakarsantri Subdistrict, Wonocolo Subdistrict, Mulyorejo Subdistrict, and Kenjeran Subdistrict, Surabaya, East Java. To detect Mycobacteria at the species level, each sample was assessed by Ziehl–Neelsen staining and PCR using the RD1 and RD4 genes.

Results: The results of PCR assay from 50 samples in Lekok Subdistrict, Pasuruan Regency showed that 30 samples (60%) were positive for Mycobacterium tuberculosis and two samples (4%) were positive for Mycobacterium bovis, although Ziehl–Neelsen staining did not show the presence of Mycobacterium spp. In the Surabaya region, 31 samples (70.45%) were positive for M. tuberculosis and three samples (6.8%) were positive for M. bovis. Six samples (13.63%) from all PCR-positive samples could be detected microscopically with Ziehl–Neelsen.

Conclusion: The presence of bovine TB in this study supports the importance of using a molecular tool alongside routine surveillance for a better understanding of the epidemiology of bovine TB in East Java.

Authors:   Crisis and Emergency Management: Theory and Praxis, Ju Young Chan
Published: March 2024

Recently, due to the impact of climate change, many regions have experienced an increase in both the frequency and intensity of heavy rainfall events compared to the past. These heavy rainfall events increase the likelihood of flooding in downstream basins. To prevent flooding, it is necessary to calculate the appropriate design flood volume. When estimating the design flood volume, it is necessary to calculate the runoff in consideration of spatial distribution in ungauged basin. In this study, the runoff of the ungauged basin was calculated using the MIKE SHE model, and the flooding impact of the downstream area was analyzed using the MIKE 21 Flow Model. The study confirmed the runoff, downstream travel time, and flooding occurrence times based on rainfall events in the ungauged basin. It has been confirmed that when estimating the design flood volume, consideration must be given to intense rainfall occurring in a short period. This study can be utilized as one of the methods for calculating design flood volume and can be deemed to establish a disaster management system.
Vancomycin and Ustekinumab Combination Therapy in Acute Ulcerative Colitis
Authors: Nguyen Khue M. , Wright Emily K.
Published: March 2024

The role of antibiotics in the treatment of ulcerative colitis is limited. We present a case of a 25-year-old woman who presented with a flare of ulcerative colitis after an episode of infectious gastroenteritis on a background of known primary sclerosing cholangitis. After the flare, she experienced persistent abdominal pain and diarrhea associated with elevated fecal calprotectin and deep rectosigmoid ulcerations on endoscopy. After unsuccessful trials of vedolizumab, infliximab, and tofacitinib, the patient was commenced on ustekinumab, tacrolimus, and oral vancomycin. Tacrolimus was ceased successfully, but while on maintenance ustekinumab therapy, 2 attempts to cease vancomycin resulted in symptom recurrence and rising fecal calprotectin that improved with vancomycin recommencement. To date, the patient has been on vancomycin continuously for 18 months and remains clinically well with colonoscopy demonstrating inactive colitis. This case highlights how vancomycin may be beneficial in the management of treatment-refractory ulcerative colitis as an adjunct to biologic therapy.

Athenaeus of Attaleia on the Elements of Medicine
Authors: Leith David
Published: March 2024

Athenaeus of Attaleia (fl. mid-first century BC) offers a fascinating example of the interest among Graeco-Roman physicians in marking out the boundaries between medicine and philosophy. As founder of the so-called Pneumatist medical sect, he was deeply influenced by contemporary Stoicism. A number of surviving ancient testimonia tell us that he held a distinctive view on the question of how far medicine should analyse the composition of the human body. Rather than having recourse to the Stoic cosmic elements fire, air, earth and water, he maintained that in the context of the medical art, the relevant elements were the elemental qualities hot, cold, wet and dry. This paper is an attempt to pin down Athenaeus’ position on these issues, and his motivations for holding it, despite a number of conflicting and problematic claims in the surviving evidence.
Retrograde infall of the intergalactic gas onto S-galaxy and activity of galactic nuclei
Authors: Khrapov Sergey S. , Khoperskov Alexander V.
Published: March 2024

We present the results of numerical simulations focused on the accretion of intergalactic gas onto a gas-rich S-type disc galaxy. Our investigation explores the conditions favouring the emergence of counterrotating stellar and gaseous components within the galaxy, leading to the inflow of gas towards the central kiloparsec of the galaxy. Notably, we find that the most substantial reservoir of gas, serving as fuel for galactic nucleus activity, resides within the central region during the retrograde infall of gas at an incident angle of approximately

relative to the galactic plane. Departures from this angle significantly diminish the gas flow rate towards the galactic centre. Conversely, the prograde infall of intergalactic gas makes a marginal contribution to the gas content in the central region and cannot supply fuel to the active galactic nucleus. An intriguing characteristic of the observed retrograde impact is the emergence of a rotating polar ring at the galaxy’s periphery, primarily originating from intergalactic gas.
Gender Sensitivity of Teacher Education Curricula in the Republic of Croatia
Authors: Rogošić Silvia , Baranović Branislava
Published: March 2024

The research aims to determine whether and to what extent teacher education curricula in Croatia are gender sensitive and to examine the status of courses dealing with gender-related topics. For this purpose, a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the seven teacher education curricula was conducted. The analysis was based on Bernstein’s theory of classification and framing rules, which explains how control and power over knowledge and curriculum are exercised by selecting knowledge (from scientific disciplines) for the curriculum, design rules, and curriculum implementation. The findings indicate that gender-based knowledge is not given high status and significance as a teaching subject. Gender-related topics are included in teacher education curricula by weak framing and classification rules. While there are several advantages to such a curriculum design, weak classification and framing rules can lead to a lack of compliance in education on gender-related topics. A vague structure can interfere with students’ understanding of basic concepts and their interconnectedness. Students can choose courses based on personal interest rather than necessity and importance. Recommendations are made to achieve a higher level of gender sensitivity in teacher education curricula, which would contribute to better preparation of teachers for the education of children on gender equality.
Behavior of soil reinforced with micropiles
Authors: Al-Gharbawi Ahmed S. A. , Fattah Mohammed Y. , Abduhussain Sajad Abdullah
Published: March 2024

Soil investigation is very important to check the bearing capacity before constructing any structure. There are different types of soils that cause many problems for the structure in short and long term, which are known as problematic soils. A lot of researchers dealt with improvement and reinforcement of the problematic soils by physical and chemical treatments. The objective of this study is reinforcing the problematic soil with micropiles with different depths and different configurations. In this study, two types of soils, soft clay and loose sand, were used to study the effect of adding micropiles of different depths and different configurations to investigate the best improvement of bearing capacity for shallow foundations on these soils. The results showed that reinforcing the natural soil with micropiles could improve the pressure carrying capacity of the problematic soils. When the design width is changed from under foundation alone to under foundation and 2B width, the soil reinforced with 2B depth of micropiles can raise the soil’s load carrying capacity by 45 to 65% when compared to untreated soil. Just 7% more bearing capacity may be achieved by increasing the depth of the micropiles from 2B to 3B (where B is the footing width); as a result, going deeper than 2B is not advantageous. Additionally, the bearing capacity of the micropiles increases by only 3% when the breadth of the configuration is increased from 1B to 2B; so, wider configurations than 1B are invalid.
The emerging significance of RNA 5-methylcytosine modification in human cancers
Authors: Li Dongliang , Liu Jiyu , Zhu Baiyu
Published: March 2024

RNA methylation, the most prevalent type of RNA modification, encompasses more than 60 % of all known RNA modifications. With the advancement of methylation sequencing technologies, a diverse range of biological functions associated with RNA methylation in eukaryotes has been revealed. Specifically, 5-methylcytosine (m5C) modifications have been extensively observed in various RNA molecules, including messenger RNAs (mRNAs), ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), transfer RNAs (tRNAs), and non-coding RNAs. These m5C modifications have been shown to impact critical RNA processes, such as mRNA translation, rRNA assembly, and tRNA stability. Notably, emerging evidence suggests that m5C modifications play significant roles in the initiation and progression of human cancers. However, a comprehensive understanding of the intricate m5C networks involved in human cancers is yet to be fully realized. In this comprehensive review, we provide an up-to-date summary of the roles and potential mechanisms underlying m5C modification in human cancers.

Authors: Magariños-Triviño María , Monzón-Rodríguez Cecilia , Caiazzo-Lima José Andrés , Santoveña-Estévez Ana , Fariña José B.
Published: March 2024

Objectives

Active pharmaceutical ingredients for paediatric patients are formulated at hospital pharmacy services and compounding pharmacies when they are not commercially available. This work evaluated the quality and stability of lozenges, an orodispersible dosage form, elaborated by a simple and low-cost moulding process.

Methods

The lozenges were formulated with 10 mg of hydrochlorothiazide as an active pharmaceutical ingredient and a commercial excipient suitable for paediatric use (Natatroche®). A High-Performance Liquid Chromatography system was used to quantify the active pharmaceutical ingredient from pure and extracted from dosage form samples. The quality of the lozenges was checked by the European Pharmacopeia tests indicated for oromucosal preparations, and additional quality tests specified for orodispersible and dispersible tablets. The stability of this dosage form was evaluated by the International Conference of Harmonization indications.

Results

The chromatographic method could quantify the active pharmaceutical ingredient extracted from excipient matrix. This formulation met uniformity of dosage units test for oromucosal dosage forms and, in addition, met the disintegration time test for orodispersible tablets and the fineness of dispersion test for dispersible tablets. Hydrochlorothiazide in lozenges was stable for 60 days when stored at 5 °C.

Conclusions

Moulded hydrochlorothiazide tablets are quick-to-prepare dosage forms that can be prepared in a simple, low-cost manufacturing process. They are safe and stable, disintegrate quickly in the mouth, and are therefore a recommended option for children, or other patients with swallowing problems.

Nowadays, the search for unconventional antibacterial agents is very common. One of them may be eugenol (EU) (4-allyl-2-methoxyphenol), which exhibits antimicrobial properties against pathogenic bacteria and is used in the pharmaceutical industry. Owing to its structure, EU decreases the exotherm of polymerization without a negative impact on the degree of conversion. The properties of EU-modified bone cement, such as doughing time, maximum temperature, and setting time, will be characterized, as well as mechanical properties, EU release, and antibacterial properties. Bone cements were synthesized by mixing a powder phase composed of two commercially available methacrylate copolymers (Evonic) and a liquid phase containing 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, methyl methacrylate, triethylene glycol dimethacrylate, and EU with an amount of 0.5 wt% of bone cement sample. As an initiating system, benzoyl peroxide and N,N-dimethylaniline were used. Samples were prepared with various amounts of the initiating system. The doughing time, maximum temperature (T
max), setting temperature (T
set), setting time (t
set), and compressive strength tests were determined according to the ISO 5833:2002 standard requirements. The doughing time for bone cement depends on the amount of the initiating system. The maximum temperature during curing of bone cement is very low; however, the setting time is closer to the upper limit set by the standard. The compressive strength of the tested materials is good and significantly exceeds the requirements of the standard. EU release was very high and ranged from around 43–62% after 168 h. Moreover, antibacterial studies show that the tested bone cements are bacteriostatic for Staphylococcus aureus or and Escherichia coil strains. In summary, modified bone cements meet the ISO 5833:2002 standard requirements in all parameters and are characterized by good mechanical properties (similar to or higher than commercial bone cement), high EU release, and bacteriostatic properties.

Published: March 2024

This work aims to develop a robotic platform coupled to radiation detectors for application in radiological accident simulation experiments. To this end, a robot was assembled on a platform on six wheels with Arduino programming, seeking movement in different degrees of freedom. The robot was controlled by remote control and viewed by a camera so the operator could follow the path taken by the robotic platform. The radiation values were seen instantly from the display of the radiation monitor/detector (RadEye). This platform model used non-destructive tests with radioactive sources in the laboratory for an environmental radiometric survey simulating a radiological accident. The results showed the command synchronization between the controller and the platform in an environment with only the presence of the background and the visualization of the instantaneous dose rate in Sv/h. However, when faced with the radiation field, there was interference in the signals and communication controlling the robot's movements. However, due to the short exposure time to gamma rays, the electronic components did not show any damage. It can be concluded from this experience that the prototype should be improved by adding shielding to the electronic boards, which are sensitive to radioactivity. The relevance of this investigation lies in developing robotic platforms for exposure in environments that pose health risks and for the radiological protection of emergency teams in actions during radiological and nuclear accidents.

Depression and associated factors among emergency medical services staff in Germany: results from the EMS Health Study for the period 2020/2021 Background: Depression is one of the most common psychological conditions and factors such as pain and psychosocial workload can increase the risk for depression. Since there is little data available for prehospital emergence medical services (EMS) staff in Germany, the aim of the study was to identify factors associated with depression. Methods: This analysis was a nationwide cross-sectional study with prehospital EMS staff in Germany. Factors associated with depression were identified using multivariable logistic regression analysis, calculating adjusted odds ratios (AOR) and associated 95 % confidence intervals (95 % CI). Results: A total of 2,313 EMS staff were included in the analysis. The 12-month prevalence of depression was 15.6 % in women and 12.2 % in men. Significantly associated with depression were qualifications (paramedic*s: AOR: 1.99 [95 % CI: 1.10; 3.58] p = 0.022; paramedic*s: AOR: 1.69 [95 % CI: 1.08; 2.61] p = 0.021; reference: paramedics) and actual working hours (increase per hour: AOR: 1.02 [95 % CI: 1.00; 1.03] p = 0.013). Furthermore, poorer health, severe pain, allergies, and being a former smoker were also associated with a significantly higher chance of depression. In contrast, employees living in a relationship showed a lower chance of suffering from depression. Conclusion: This analysis provides evidence for factors associated with depression in prehospital EMS staff in Germany.

The homeoffice module in the risk assessment of mental stress with the COPSOQ: Genesis and results Objective: The shifting of work to the private, domestic sphere was an important health protection measure in the COVID-19 pandemic. It was intended to reduce transmission of the virus by reducing contact. In the case of risk assessment of mental stress based on the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire (COPSOQ), it has since become possible to use questions about the homeoffice („COVID-19 module“ until 2022, now „homeoffice module“). This offers an opportunity to link „working from home“ with all scales covered by the COPSOQ. Methods: It is now possible to analyse the data of about 34,000 respondents who have expressed opinions on working from home during or after the pandemic. Firstly, all the items and scales (value range: 0–100) are subjected to descriptive analysis and subgroup comparison. This is followed by analysing the correlations with other COPSOQ scales. Results: Homeoffice equipment, communication with colleagues and supervisors, and overall satisfaction tend to be rated positively. The evaluations of employees with a homeoffice deviate in some areas from those of the other respondents (influence at work: + 8.0 points; separation of work and private life: + 12.7 points). Differences are somewhat smaller in the field of social relationships. The comparison of the current with the desired extent of the homeoffice points towards moderate expansion. Conclusions: No blanket statement can be made as to the extent to which working from home is advantageous or disadvantageous. Apart from the tendency towards higher demands with increased influence, much seems to depend on the specific setting in a company. It is no longer possible to imagine life without the homeoffice and the questions in an add-on module to the COPSOQ can consider this along with other forms of work in the risk assessment and link it with other stresses and strains. Keywords: COPSOQ – risk assessment – psychological strain – work – homeoffice
