The search for dietary sources with potent biological activities has increasingly attracted considerable attention. Sweet potato leaves (SPL) are considered to be a leafy vegetable consumed by humans, which is not currently widely used, despite it possession drought tolerance, and the ability to grow in different climates and farming systems. This study evaluated the in vitro Nutraceutical and Pharmacological potential of underutilized leafy vegetable (Ipomoea batatas leaf). The phytochemicals, in vitro antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities; mineral and vitamins compositions of the leaf were carried out using standard method. The bioactive compounds in Ipomoea batatas were identified using GC-MS. The results of the GC-MS profiling revealed n-Hexadecanoic acid (23.43%), Cyclotrisiloxane, hexamethyl (17.73%), and 16-Pregnenolone (11.30%) as the most abundant bioactive compounds in Ipomoea batata leaves. The mineral analysis showed that Ipomoea batata leaves contains favorable amount of macro elements such as Ca (915.40±9.50), K (2083.30±15.00), P (511.26±4.70), Mg (271.25±7.20), Na (9.98±1.06) and considerable amount of trace elements such as Fe (10.60±1.30), Mn (2.55±0.27), Zinc (2.70±0.11), and Cu (1.32±0.08) in which all were measured in miligram per 100g (mg/100). The vitamins such as of Vitamin A, vitamins C, vitamin E, niacin (B3), thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), pyridoxine (B6), vitamin D and vitamin K are present in trace amount in the leaves. The in vitro antioxidant activities of the extract showed a significant (p<0.05) dose dependent free radical scavenging activities. The anti-inflammatory analysis showed that the percent inhibition of hemolysis (20–100 µg/mL dry weight basis) was within the range of 4.1% to 18%. Percent inhibition of protein denaturation was within the range of 29.0–71.0%, Proteinase inhibitory activity was within the range of 16–30.0% and the lipoxygenase inhibition was within the range of 8.2–34.5%. This study provide validation for the usage of Ipomoea batatas leaf as new leafy vegetable with appreciable nutritional values and also provided credence to the bioactive compounds in leaf as potential novel drug candidate for pharmaceutical industries.

Published: May 2023

This study focuses on the phenomenon of speech acts in Joe Biden’s victory speech in the US presidential election 2020. There are 30 selected utterances taken from Joe Biden’s victory speech. This study applies a qualitative method. Moreover, the data in this study are in the form of utterances which contain speech acts. The analysis begins by classifying the types of speech acts used by Joe Biden in his victory speech using Searle’s theory of speech acts (1976), and the theory of context by Brown and Yule (1983). In total there are 30 utterances; 11 utterances are representative, 7 utterances are directive, 6 utterances are commissive, 5 utterances are expressive, and 1 utterance is declarative. The second research question is to reveal the implied meanings of the speech acts used by Joe Biden in his victory speech. The results of this study show that the implied meanings from Joe Biden’s utterances in his victory speech are about the commitments he will carry out in the future and to convince the audience of his sincerity in running for president of the United States of America by presenting the great programs he will run when in office and stresses the importance of unity in building and moving the nation forward.

Published: May 2023

Cowpea is an important pulse crop grown in sub-Saharan Africa and in parts of Asia and the Americas. Cowpea seed is an affordable source of nutrients rich in protein with number of essential amino acids. Dehulled seeds of eight improved cowpea lines grown in N’Djamena and Bebedjia (Chad) were analyzed for seed protein content in order to assess the variability, the heritability and the effect of environment interaction. In each locality, the experimental design was a triplicated randomly complete block design. The results showed a wide variability among genotypes for crude seed protein content. The mean value of crude seed protein content was 25.55% with varieties TN-27-80, TN-985-61399 and TN-5-78 showing highest values. High heritability in broad-sense (h2 = 0.74) and moderate genetic advance (GA = 14%) estimated for this character indicated the scope for improvement through selection. The effects of genotype (83.1% of the total sum of square), location (3.5%) and their interaction (13.4%) were highly significant (P<0.01), but the protein content was slightly influenced by the environment. High potential for breeding programs is expected as genetic factors are believed to account for the main variation in protein content. This research could provide information for breeders to develop cowpea cultivars with higher protein content.

Climate change is the single greatest threat to human health, and medical professionals around the world are already taking action to mitigate the health effects brought on by this developing crisis. In order to avoid catastrophic health effects and the millions of fatalities that would come from climate change, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) thinks that the increase in global temperature must be kept below 1.5°C. Some global temperature increases and other climate effects are already unavoidable due to historical emissions. Every additional tenth of a degree of global warming will have a significant negative impact on people's lives and health. It is thought that even a rise of 1.5°C is unsafe.

The prevalence of atopic dermatitis (AD), spanning across from childhood through adolescence is increasing in the Middle East region. Poor Quality of Life (QoL), excessive healthcare expenditure, loss of school and workdays are considered to be the significant burden of AD. Although, QoL data is available for children affected by AD in Saudi Arabia, there is limited data for adolescents and adults. Moreover, data on healthcare resource utilization (HCRU) in Saudi Arabia is lacking. The purpose of this review was to evaluate the association between AD severity and AD-related QoL and HCRU in adolescents and adults in Saudi Arabia. It also aimed to identify the gaps in literature on AD in the above two patient populations in Saudi Arabia and provide recommendations for better management of QoL and HCRU- related issues. Extensive literature search was carried out through various search engines, such as PubMed, MEDLINE, Web of Science, and Google Scholar using different keywords. This review highlighted the lack of literature from Saudi Arabia with respect to the effect of AD on QoL and HCRU in adult and adolescent populations. The gaps in data regarding patient perception, physician knowledge, family and caregiver burden, and QoL for better AD management related HRQoL and HCRU in Saudi Arabia were also identified and recommendations to bridge these gaps were provided.

Artificial intelligence is defined as "the study and improvement of computer systems capable of performing tasks typically requiring cognitive abilities, such as image perception, speech recognition, decision making, and language translation." When a computer imitates analytical traits such as "learning and problem-solving," which humans normally connect with other human brains, the term "AI" is employed. A profusion of studies and papers on the function of AI in restorative dentistry have been published in recent years, with the majority of the efforts focusing on recognising and diagnosing dental disorders such as caries, gum disease, and tooth fractures. The major purpose of this study is to undertake a thorough review of prior research on the impact of artificial intelligence on restorative dentistry. The relevance of the theme tooth reconstruction was prioritised during the search. AI has achieved important improvements in a wide range of medical fields, most notably in dentistry for the diagnosis, localization, classification, estimation, and assessment of dental disease. This review only covers seven papers on the impact of AI on restorative dentistry. Artificial intelligence (AI) has advanced significantly as a powerful tool for computerised tooth repair during the previous two decades. More study is needed, however, to compare different types of AIs and assess their clinical usefulness in occlusal interface restoration.

Patients and methods: This is a retrospective prospective descriptive study of 13 cases of fracture of the penis during four years at the Csréf of Markala from 01 January 2019 to 01 January 2023. All patients who had a treated penis fracture were included in our study. All patients who had other forms of trauma to the penis other than a penis fracture were excluded. Results: The frequency of fracture of the penis was 14.8% compared to other urological injuries. The average age of our patients was 36.30 years with extremes ranging from 25 to 54 years. 53.8% of our patients were single. The average consultation time was 14.8 hours, with extremes ranging from 3 hours to 47 hours. The approach was longitudinal in some cases and in other cases a circumferential incision or at the level of the balano preputial fold. The most frequent complications were penis bending, with 15.5% (2 patients), urethral fistula was observed in one patient (7.7%), and we also noted cases of fibrosis of the erectile bodies (23.1%). Conclusion: The fracture of the penis is a real uro-andrological emergency, and the treatment must be rapid and effective in order to avoid irreversible after-effects, which may even lead to erectile dysfunction or urethral stricture in these patients. The approach must be appropriate in order to prevent short, medium and late complications.

Published: May 2023

Background: Plate fixation is the mainstay of care for distal forearm shaft fractures in adults. By and large, volar or dorsal plating is used for radial shaft fractures. The radius's lateral surface offers an equal and constantly curved region for inserting a plate. The radial bow may be readily evaluated and restored after surgery. A prospective investigation was performed to examine the result of lateral plating of radius shaft fractures. Objective: In this study our main goal is to evaluate the treatment outcome of fixation of fracture shaft of radius ulna. Method: The research was conducted at tertiary medical hospital and district general hospital, Dinajpur included 100 patients. Several of them had broken both of their forearm bones, while others had broken only the radial shaft. Within 36 hours of damage, all patients were fixed with a 3.5 mm restricted contact dynamic compression plate or locking compression plate on the lateral surface of the radius. Typical procedure was used to repair the ulna. Results: During the study, majority were belong to 32-40 years age group, 36%. Followed by 20% were belong to 41-50 years age group, 11% belong to 20-31 years age group. In addition to that, 80% were male. 75% had fractured both of their forearm bones. Followed by 70% had closed fractured type, 35% had motor vehicle accident and lastly 85% had middle third radial shaft. Union was assessed by gradual disappearance of the fracture line and/or development of bridging callus at the fracture site. After getting treatment, 89% patients had excellent results, 8% had satisfactory and 1% had unsatisfactory result. There was 1% failure (nonunion). Conclusion: As compared to conventional methods, radial lateral plating holds promise as a viable option. Longitudinal studies with larger patient groups and study criteria are needed to confirm the potential advantages and validate our results.

Published: May 2023

The increasing incidence of mortality due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in ageing men globally is of serious concern and needed collective efforts to arrest it. The benign prostatic hyperplasia result from excessive growth of the prostate gland due to proliferating cells which impairs urethral functions by compressing it. This present study evaluated the effect of methanol extract of Allium sativa (MEAS) on lipid profile, renal and hepatic function biomarkers of testosterone induced benign prostate hyperplasia in male rats. The study was done using 25 adult male albino rats, divided into 5 groups, which comprises of normal control, negative control, positive control, and BPH induced rats treated with 200 and 400 mg/kg /day of MEAS respectively. Hepatic and renal biomarkers (ALT, AST, ALP, Urea, Creatinine) and lipid profile (HDL, LDL, TAG, CHOL were evaluated. The BPH induction caused significant (p<0.05) increases in lipid profile with exception HDL; hepatic and renal biomarkers of the negative control when compared with the normal control. The MEAS treated BPH-induced rats had significant (p>0.05) reduction in the biochemical biomarkers with significant (p<0.05) increase HDL. The findings of this study indicated that BPH impairs cellular functionality and treatment of BPH with methanol extract of Allium sativa showed to be effective. Therefore, extract of Allium sativa is a potential agent for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Authors: Hossain Md. Saddam , Das Ripon Kumar , Bose Suman Kallyan
Published: May 2023

Introduction: Intramedullary nailing is a commonly employed procedure for treating distal tibial fractures. The two primary approaches for this procedure include the suprapatellar and infrapatellar techniques. Despite their widespread use, there is ongoing debate about the relative merits and drawbacks of these two approaches. Aim of the Study: The aim of this study was to assess the comparison between suprapatellar and infrapatellar approaches for intramedullary nailing of distal tibial fractures. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Department of Orthopaedics Surgery, Brahmanbaria Medical College Hospital, Brahmanbaria, Bangladesh, during the period from December 2020 to December 2022. Total 120 patients with intramedullary nailing of distal tibial fractures were included in this study. All the patients were divided into two groups; Group A comprised of 60 patients treated by suprapatellar approach and Group B comprised of patients treated by infrapatellar approaches. Result: For age, the mean age in Group A is 42.3 years (SD± 9.8 years), and in Group B it is 44.7 years (SD±10.3 years). In terms of sex, male predominance was seen in both groups. Surgical characteristics like surgical time (68.5 vs 74.2 mins), blood loss (58.4 vs 63.7 ml), and fluoroscopy number (15.7 vs 18.9) were significantly less in Group A. Post-operatively, Group B reported more pain (VAS score: 27.1 vs 18.7), while Group A had better range of motion (18.3 vs 17.1) and knee functionality (Lysholm score: 84.6 vs 80.9). Group B showed better foot and ankle functionality (AOFAS score: 94.4 vs 91.3). Fracture healing time was similar (24.5 vs 24.7 months). Fewer patients in Group A experienced complications like fracture deformity, malalignment, and surgical site infections. Conclusion: The suprapatellar approach may be the preferred nailing technique for treating distal tibial fractures compared with infrapatellar approach.

Published: May 2023

Introduction: The development of APL is associated with a more severe prognosis of the disease, and with a significant alteration of the quality of life. For this reason, the advent of biological agents has allowed in a significant number of patients a healing of these APL. Through this work, we illustrate the evolution of these lesions by comparing patients before and after the beginning of biotherapy. Materials and Methods: A retrospective analytical study carried out in our department between January 2015 and January 2021 including all patients receiving biological treatment for CD with APL. Results: Among 355 patients with CD, 45 patients were on biological treatment which 32 (71%) had APL. Among these 32 patients, sex ratio (W/M) was 1.9, mean age was 37 +/- 9.3. The type of anal involvement was as follow: 20 patients (75%) had anal suppurations, 7 patients (20%) had ulcerations and 5 patients (5%) had anal stenosis. In 5% it was an isolated anal Crohn's disease, in 15% it was intestinal disease with APL, in 31% it was colonic disease with APL. 25 patients (78%) were under Infliximab and 7 (21.8%) under Adalumimab. The number of patients with APL before treatment has significantly decreased after treatment with a p=0.002, with an improvement of APL in 20 patients (60%) of under anti-TNF agent. Conclusion: Anti-TNF agents allowed a better management and a favorable evolution of APL in most of our CD patients. However, to overcome the failure of anti-TNF in some of our patients, the availability of other biological molecules on the Moroccan market remains more than desirable.

Published: May 2023

Primary hyperparathyroidism is a relatively common endocrine disorder that can lead to hypercalcemia and, consequently, cause long-term renal and skeletal complications. Usually, the diagnosis of this disorder is made at an asymptomatic stage. We report three cases of primary hyperparathyroidism revealed by acute pancreatitis, which is an unusual initial manifestation. The three patients, aged 55, 61, and 78 years, experienced acute epigastric pain accompanied by vomiting. Laboratory tests showed hyperlipasemia, and the abdominal CT scan revealed acute necrotizing pancreatitis. After an investigation into the underlying causes, the diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism was confirmed, and imaging identified the presence of parathyroid adenoma in all three patients. Parathyroidectomy was performed and the anatomopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of parathyroid adenoma.

Objectives: All studies performed periodontal distraction with interseptal bone cuts but no one performed it without interseptal bone cuts. Therefore the aim of the present study was to evaluate and compare the effect of periodontal distractor with and without interseptal bone cuts on the pulp vitality of the retracted canines. Methods: The sample of the study consisted of 32 canines in 16 female patients (16- 21 years old) requiring extraction of bilateral maxillary first premolars and canine retraction. They were divided into two groups: canine retraction by periodontal distractor with distal interseptal bone cuts (Group I), canine retraction by periodontal distractor without distal interseptal bone cuts (Group II). After bilateral maxillary premolar extraction in both groups inter septal bone cuts was done in group I only. Then the periodontal distractor was cemented and activated twice per day in both groups. An electrical vitality test was evaluated before and after the distraction procedure. Results: None of the teeth reacted negatively to the electrical vitality test that was performed one month after the completion of the distraction procedure. There was no clinical sign of discoloration or pulpal pain in any tooth. Conclusions: Canine retraction was accelerated effectively by periodontal distraction technique either with or without distal interseptal bone cuts. The electrical pulp tester was positive in both groups.

Published: May 2023

Indonesia is known as the largest agrarian country in the world, but it is ironic to see Indonesian farmers who are still far from well-fulfilled economic, educational and health welfare. So that they are trapped in poverty continuously. The government as the party that has an important role has not done much in resolving this problem. As a result, the actions taken by the government have no effect on the agricultural sector in Indonesia. The potential for waqf, especially land in Indonesia, is so great. This can be maximized by the government and the private sector. Agricultural subsidies, which in the future will be reduced and eliminated, will be quite a difficult problem for the Indonesian agricultural sector. Land waqf and cash waqf can be used as an alternative to this subsidy. Even more than that, with the concept of agricultural empowerment that uses waqf funds as funding it will make empowerment sustainable and raise the income of farmers. In addition, the group system or joint responsibility allows farmers to develop the values ​​of togetherness, trust, care and empathy for others both in terms of humanity and financial obligations. So that national food security can continue to increase.

РОЛЬ СВІТОВИХ ФІНАНСОВИХ ІНСТИТУЦІЙ У ДЕТІНІЗАЦІЇ ГЛОБАЛЬНОЇ ЕКОНОМІКИ
Authors: Баула Олена  , Лютак Олена
Published: May 2023

У статті досліджено практичні аспекти впливу світових фінансових інституцій на запобігання поширення процесів тінізації глобальної економіки. Систематизація літературних джерел та підходів до вирішення досліджуваної проблеми свідчить про те, що незважаючи на різноплановість і змістовність поглядів навколо проблем детінізації глобальної та національної економіки, на незначному рівні залишається опрацювання аспектів можливої ролі в даних процесах глобальних фінансових інституцій.
Методологічною основою дослідження є методи економічного аналізу та фундаментальних досліджень: системного аналізу, синтезу та компаративного аналізу для окреслення основних напрямків та засобів детінізації економіки; функціонально-системного підходу для оцінки стану та тенденцій тіньового сектору глобальної економіки та визначення її впливу на міжнародну конкурентоспроможність країни; метод узагальнення для формування висновків дослідження. Об’єктом дослідження є процеси детінізації глобальної економіки.
У статті оцінено рівень тінізації економіки, толерантності до корупції та рівень міжнародної конкурентоспроможності  України та її близьких країн-сусідів – країн Вишеградської групи (Польща, Чехія, Угорщина і Словаччина), США – першої економіки світу, Данії та Швейцарії – країн-лідерів в рейтингу міжнародної конкурентоспроможності. У статті емпірично підтверджено, що стратегічні напрями детінізації глобальної економіки потребують скоординованості та комплексності дій міжнародних організацій. Охарактеризовано елементи комплексу детінізації економіки в глобальному масштабі, які можуть бути ефективно впроваджені та дотримані лише за умови втручання в дані процеси міжнародних інституцій, зокрема фінансових. Визначено напрями впливу міжнародних фінансових інституцій щодо детінізації глобальної економіки. Проведене дослідження доводить необхідність багатовекторного співробітництва із міжнародними фінансовими організаціями та високорозвиненими країнами, що мають у своєму арсеналі ефективні механізми детінізації економічної діяльності.
Результати дослідження можуть бути корисними для розробки науково-обґрунтованих рекомендацій щодо удосконалення механізмів співпраці з міжнародними фінансовими інститутами для ефективної детінізації глобальної економіки.

Threaded components play a crucial role in ensuring the safety and reliability of systems by joining components together. Proper selection of thread type and size, ensuring proper machining and storage of components, and addressing potential issues such as leakage, vibration, and misalignment all play a special role. It is known that there is a big difference in the nature of the destruction of metal and plastic threaded connections, in particular, when the nut is made of plastics, and the bolt is made of steel, or vice versa. In this regard, at present there is no consensus in assessing the strength of plastic threaded connections. On the one hand, it is recognized that, due to a more uniform distribution of the load, plastic threaded connections have a significant load capacity. Numerous examples of the use of plastic threaded connections in pressure pipelines, in large plastic parts subjected to dynamic loads, various loaded fasteners - all these examples confirm that plastic threaded connections can withstand very high loads. Production of a thread of plastic details is rather difficult, than on metals. It is connected with the physical-mechanical processes coming in the course of production of concrete thread details from plastic by method of pressing and casting under pressure. Also mechanics of formation of plastic threads on details of the oil-field equipment on the specific properties differ from the threads received by a machining method on metals. As thread surfaces on plastic details are formed in compression molds depending on materials and the modes: temperatures, pressure and time of production. These regime parameters and guided parameters play a part at a guaranty of physicalmechanical properties of details in the course of production. The use of plastic or polymer threads in the oil and gas industry is increasing due to their unique characteristics and advantages over traditional metal threads. Recently, 3D printing (additive manufacturing) has become more widely used for the preparation of plastic threads. The article will discuss the methods and characteristics of preparing plastic threaded components, as well as their advantages and certain incompatibilities.
Keywords: threaded components, plastic threaded components, preparation methods, 3D and 4D printing.
