Authors: Gonzalez Laura A. , Gonzalez Miro Jorge A.
Published: November 2022

Abstract

Currently, bupivacaine liposome injectable suspension (Exparel™, PACIRA BIOSCIENCES, INC., Tampa, Florida, USA) has approval by the Food and Drug Administration for the management of postoperative pain in various surgical patients. In this case report, we suggest the addition of introducing its use in surgical procedures involving the neck, specifically, patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy. The infiltration of liposomal bupivacaine into the superficial cervical plexus has proved to provide adequate pain relief for approximately 72 hours postoperatively discarding the use of other analgesics. Despite the findings, this calls for a larger study comparing the efficacy of different postoperative pain management protocols.

Advance Research on Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
Authors:   Jai Narain Vyas University (New Campus), Jodhpur, India, Chouhan Ashwin Singh
Published: November 2022

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a condition that causes irregular menstrual periods because monthly ovulation is not occurring and levels of androgens (male hormones) are elevated. It is an important cause of female infertility and a precursor for other critical conditions such as obesity, cardiovascular diseases, type - 2 diabetes and endometrial cancer. It has both reproductive and metabolic effects. It is very difficult to diagnose PCOS during the first 2 years following menarche because normal pubertal changes can mimic symptoms of PCOS. These symptoms are anovulatory menstrual cycles, transient multi-follicular ovarian morphology, increased androgen effects and relative insulin resistance. Common clinical features of PCOS include irregular or heavy or no menstrual periods, excess facial and body hair, acne, pain in the pelvis, difficulty to get pregnant and patches of thick, darker, velvety skin. Diagnosis of PCOS is based on any two of the following three findings. They are no ovulation, high androgen levels and ovarian cysts. Cysts may be distinguishable by ultrasonography. PCOS treatment may involve lifestyle modifications such as weight reduction and regular exercise. Birth control pills help to improve the regularity of menstrual periods, excess hair growth and acne. Metformin and anti-androgens may also help. Other typical acne treatments and hair removal techniques may be used for the treatment of PCOS. Weight loss, clomiphene or metformin also helps to improve fertility. The month of September is considered as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) awareness month around the world. It helps to initiate a conversation about this under diagnosed medical condition. Women who have PCOS are at high risk for several serious complications, some of them can be life threatening complications. Early diagnosis and treatment helps to reduce the risk for many of the complications.

Affinity of the benthic foraminifer Cassidulinoides parkeriana (Brady) for whale-falls: evidence from off western Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada
Authors: McGann Mary , Paull Charles K.
Published: November 2022

A partial skeleton of a blue or fin whale, estimated to have been 16.5 m in length and thought to have been lying on the seafloor for less than 10 years, was observed at a depth of 1288 m off western Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada (48.68 N, 126.84 W). Four push cores were taken at the site, three (15-26 cm in length) directly under caudal vertebrae and one 18 cm long, considered a reference, 15 m away, in order to characterize changes in the benthic foraminiferal assemblage due to the whale-fall. A Q-mode cluster analysis identified four groupings, separating the surface and deeper samples of both the whale-fall and reference cores. The results of a metric multi-dimensional scaling plot and permutational multivariate analysis of variance test of the surface samples also suggest there was a significant difference between the whale-fall and reference core benthic foraminiferal faunas. No endemic species were recovered. Downcore samples below 6 cm in the whale-fall and reference cores were characterized by common Uvigerina peregrina, Pseudoparrella pacifica, Bolivina spissa, Bulimina striata, and Takayanagia delicata. In contrast, Cassidulinoides parkeriana, which typically is a minor component of benthic foraminiferal assemblages, dominated the upper 6 cm of the whale-fall cores, whereas the low oxygen-tolerant species T. delicata dominated the same interval in the reference core. The dramatic increase in abundance of C. parkeriana in the upper sediments below this whale-fall, as well as at the Torishima Seamount whale-fall site off Japan, indicate that it is an opportunistic species well adapted to taking advantage of unpredictable and highly localized tropic windfalls such as whale-falls. To our knowledge, this is the first benthic foraminiferal species shown to increase dramatically in abundance in the presence of a whale-fall. Additionally, modern fragments of whale bones occurring as deep as 12 to 15 cm downcore at the western Vancouver Island site demonstrate the effect of bioturbation by invertebrate scavengers that consume whale carcasses, indicating that detailed biostratigraphic records below whale-falls should be interpreted with caution.

A pilot study exploring the impacts of COVID-19 on small-scale direct marketing farmers in Northwest Arkansas and their responses to the pandemic
Authors: Florick Laura , Park Chul
Published: November 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to many disruptions and challenges in local and national food systems in America. Many farms and market gardens were forced to innovate quickly and take action to survive ongoing disruption as these businesses struggled with finances and distribution of products among other challenges. Many small-scale, local farming operations in particular were able to respond to these disruptions in unique ways, which may offer useful insight into how to better prepare small farming communities for public health and other kinds of disasters in the future. This pilot study aims to better understand how COVID-19 affected the local food system in the region of Northwest Arkansas in the mid-southern United States and how small-scale, direct-sales farmers responded to the pandemic, through a survey and interview about their experiences from 2019 to 2021. Participating farmers reported changes in farming procedures and challenges in owning or working on their farms due to ongoing climate-related environmental issues or issues specific to the pandemic, such as distributing products, utilizing financial and other resources of support, and partnering with local supply-chain partners and community members to ensure local businesses’ survival during COVID-19. This pilot study can provide insight into how local farming operations and their regional and smaller-scale supply chain partners have built and utilized community resilience strategies to survive COVID-19 challenges in the Northwest region of Arkansas. A statewide follow-up study will be conducted to observe how these producers navigated these challenges on a larger scale, including in different regions of Arkansas following the start of the pandemic.

The magneto-transport equation relating to the density of photogenerated minority carriers in the (p) base of the (n+/p/p+) solar cell illuminated by monochromatic light in frequency modulation, is solved. The diffusion coefficient of the minority carriers in the base, placed under temperature and magnetic field variation, passes through a maximum, at the double resonance points, in temperature and at the frequency of the cyclotron. The photocurrent is reproduced as a function of the recombination velocity at the junction, for the maximum values of the diffusion coefficient. The expressions of the minority carriers ’recombination velocity on the rear side are deduced and their graphical representation gives the optimum thickness, specific to a high absorption coefficient, for the maximum values of the diffusion coefficient. The results obtained from the optimum thickness are modelled and analyzed, in favor of a reduction of silicon material, for the development of economical solar cells.

To increase the energy use efficiency and reduce production cost in small landholding agriculture, it isquite necessary to have suitable combination implements which farmers can use and also allow them to usefor custom hiring. Intercultivation and fertilizer application are two important operations involved in cropproduction. Rotary weeder cum fertilizer drill was designed with an objective of timely weeding and effectivefertilizer application by considering soil and crop parameters. It performs both weeding and fertilizerapplication at a time in a single operation. It was fabricated for wider spaced crops like cotton, pigeon peaand castor. After the completion of fabrication, the machine was thoroughly evaluated and calibrated under laboratory conditions. The machine was evaluated in caster crop at different weeding stages to estimate theperformance of the machine. From the field tests field capacity, field efficiency, fuel consumption andweeding efficiency obtained were 0.196 ha/h, 86% and 1.35 l h-1 91.23% respectively. It was found that thedeveloped machine requires a very less amount of manual energy on comparing with existing mechanicalweeding and manual fertilizer application combinations.
