Published: October 2023

Introduction

Wilt is a soil-borne disease caused by Fusarium that has become a serious threat to wax gourd production. Disease-resistant graft wax gourds are an effective treatment for Fusarium wilt. However, there are few reports on the defense mechanism of graft wax gourd against wilt diseases.

Methods

In the present study, disease and growth indices were compared between grafted and original wax gourds after infection with Fusarium. High level of disease resistance was observed in the grafted wax gourd, with a lower disease index and low impacts on growth after infection. RNA-seq was performed to identify the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the adjacent treatment time points in the grafted and original wax gourds, respectively. Then a comparative temporal analysis was performed and a total of 1,190 genes were identified to show different gene expression patterns between the two wax gourd groups during Fusarium infection.

Result and discussion

Here, high level of disease resistance was observed in the grafted wax gourd, with a lower disease index and low impacts on growth after infection. The DEG number was higher in grafted group than original group, and the enriched functional categories and pathways of DEGs were largely inconsistent between the two groups. These genes were enriched in multiple pathways, of which the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway enhanced the early defense response, and cutin, suberin, and wax biosynthesis signaling pathways enhanced surface resistance in grafted wax gourd in comparison to original group. Our study provides insights into the gene regulatory mechanisms underlying the resistance of grafted wax gourds to Fusarium wilt infection, which will facilitate the breeding and production of wilt-resistant rootstocks.

Authors: Zhang Weipeng , Jiang Feng , Zhu Yuanjiao , Zhang Qiang
Published: October 2023

Background

With the popularity of social media platforms, the use of social networks challenges the well-being and mental health of athletes.

Motivation

Despite ongoing scholarly discussions about the effects of passive use of social network sites, few studies have examined the relationship between the passive use of social network sites and mental health in young athletes from a social comparison perspective.

Hypothesis

To address this research gap, we draw on the social comparison and developmental systems theories to explore the mediating effect of upward social comparison on passive social network site use and mental health, as well as the moderating effects of positive psychological capital.

Methods

We analyzed data about 350 young athletes from professional Chinese sports universities.

Results

As predicted, passive use of social network sites by young athletes increased anxiety (β = 0.26, p < 0.001) and decreased subjective well-being (β = −0.35, p < 0.001). Upward social comparisons had positive (β = 0.22, p < 0.001) and negative (β = −0.34, p < 0.001) mediating effects in passive social network site use and anxiety/subjective well-being. Positive psychological capital played a moderating effect between upward social comparison and anxiety (β = −0.28, p < 0.001), and subjective well-being (β = 0.24, p < 0.001); the moderated mediation effect was also supported.

Conclusion

Our study informs the current research by highlighting the importance of upward social comparison as a critical mechanism and positive psychological capital as a boundary condition. We suggest actively maintaining and enhancing positive psychological capital to mitigate the adverse effects of upward social comparison.

Introduction

Suicide is a major concern for patients with recent-onset schizophrenia. We hypothesized that preserved cognitive function might be associated with a higher level of suicidality in patients with schizophrenia. We investigated the associations between cognitive function and suicidal ideation (SI) in young patients recently diagnosed with a psychotic disorder.

Methods

This study analyzed data from a naturalistic clinical cohort study that comprised 402 patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorder. Patients with a treatment duration of ≤5 years and an age range of 15–39 years were enrolled. Participants were categorized into two groups based on SI as assessed by the Columbia Suicidal Severity Rating Scale. We collected demographic and clinical data and administered psychiatric, neurocognitive, and social cognitive measures.

Results

Among participants, 52% reported experiencing SI. Patients with SI were significantly younger and had a longer duration of untreated psychosis (DUP) than those without it. The Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale-general psychopathology score was significantly higher in the SI group. Scores on the Calgary Depression Scale for Schizophrenia, Perceived Stress Scale, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and Beck Hopelessness Scale were significantly higher among patients with SI, while scores on the Subjective Well-being Under Neuroleptics-Short Form and Brief Resilience Scale were significantly lower compared to those without it. Patients with SI demonstrated significantly higher scores on the verbal and visual learning test, false belief task, picture stories task, and Controlled Oral Word Association Test. They also completed the Trail Making Test (TMT) parts A and B in significantly less time than those without it. After adjusting for age, DUP, and scores on the BDI, group differences in scores on the verbal and visual learning tests, TMT (parts A and B), and the false belief task, and the picture story task remained significant.

Discussion

Our results suggest that along with traditional risk factors, better cognitive function may also be a major risk factor for suicidality in patients with schizophrenia. Providing psychological support and cognitive interventions is essential for young patients with recent-onset schizophrenia spectrum disorders, particularly those with high levels of depression, hopelessness, perceived stress, low resilience, and good cognitive function.

Worldwide, the COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 has enormously impacted healthcare systems, especially in low and middle-income countries. Coinfections with respiratory pathogens in COVID-19 patients may contribute to worse outcomes. This study identified the presence of 12 viral coinfections and pneumococcal carriers among individuals with SARS-CoV-2 infection in outpatient and community settings in Ecuador. From January 2020 to November 2021, 215 nasopharyngeal and nasal swabs were taken from individuals who reported symptoms of COVID-19 or had known exposure to someone with confirmed or suspected COVID-19. One hundred fifty-eight tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 by RT-qPCR and coinfections were detected in 12% (19/158) of SARS-CoV-2-positive patients; the most frequent coinfection was with influenza A virus at 4.4% (7/158; 95% CI: 1.2–7.6), followed by respiratory syncytial virus with 3.1% (5/158; 95% CI: 0.4–5.8), and finally rhinovirus and human coronavirus NL63 with 1.2% (2/158). Pneumococcal carriage was detected in 3.7% (6/158; 95% CI: 0.76–6.64) of SARS-CoV-2 cases. Influenza B, adenovirus, human metapneumovirus (HMPV), parainfluenza virus types 1, 2, and 3, and human coronavirus HKU1 were undetected. To our knowledge, this is the first study of coinfection of SARS-CoV-2 and respiratory pathogens performed on outpatients in Latin America. The high proportion of outpatients with viral coinfections reported in our cohort allows us to suggest that testing for SARS-CoV-2 and other common respiratory pathogens should be carried out to ensure accurate diagnoses, prompt patient treatment, and appropriate isolation.
Item-specific patterns of the Skindex-17 in individuals with different levels of Hidradenitis Suppurativa severity: a network analysis study
Authors: Raimondi Giulia , Samela Tonia , Fania Luca , Abeni Damiano
Published: October 2023

Background

Recent studies are stressing the idea that the level of Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) severity does not always correspond to the same illness load. In fact, it was found that there was no significant association between Skindex-17 and clinical severity of HS, and that some items of the Skindex-17 might be more related to HS severity than others.

Objective

The aim of the current study was to explore the associations between different levels of clinical severity of HS (mild, moderate, severe) and the Skindex-17 single-item responses in a large sample of adults patients.

Methods

A cross-sectional study with a sample include 547 consecutive HS patients, approaching for the first time the specific dermatologic evaluation. Eligible criteria included age ≥ 18  years, HS diagnosis formulated contextually by the same expert clinician, and providing informed consent. All participants completed the Skindex-17 and were evaluated for the disease clinical severity with the International Hidradenitis Suppurativa Severity Score System. A Network Analysis was conducted, which represents a powerful methodological approach in clinical research. It allows to study specific patterns and the structure of complex system in order to better understand how the elements of the system interact with each-other. Three different Network Analyses were conducted for each group of HS clinical severity by including the items of the Skindex-17 as the nodes of each network.

Results

Among 547 patients, 40% (219) were female and mean age was of 32.70 (±11.41). Different patterns among items of the Skindex-17 for the three clinical severity groups emerged, meaning that in each group different items are more crucial than others. The psychosocial subscale of the Skindex-17 is the most relevant when assessing the Quality of Life of individuals with different levels of HS severity, however, with the progression of the disease, individuals place attention also on two different aspects of the symptoms subscale of the Skindex-17, irritation and pain, which in turn perfectly reflect the severity of HS, from a clinical perspective.

Conclusion

These results provide new insights on the association between levels of HS severity and related Quality of Life, measured with the Skindex-17.

Authors: He Qizheng , Sun Yong , Yi Maoan , Huang Huimin
Published: October 2023

With increasing awareness of environmental protection, food safety has become an increasingly important concern for people. The excessive use of pesticides and fertilizers by agricultural enterprises poses a threat to food safety. However, effective promotion of their reduction faces many difficulties. To analyze how to promote the reduction of pesticide and fertilizer use and the path of decision-making evolution of different stakeholders under the changes of different influencing factors, this paper considers the interests of the government, agricultural enterprises and consumers, and constructs an evolutionary game model between the government and agricultural enterprises. The study found that: (1) the governance evolutionary game of reducing the use of pesticides and fertilizers can achieve four stable evolutionary strategies, among which the ideal stable state from a multi-centre governance perspective is the government choosing the regulatory strategy and agricultural enterprises choosing pesticide and fertilizer use reduction strategy. (2) The reward measures taken by the government have a more significant impact on both parties, and in the actual regulatory process, reward measures should be used cautiously, and regulatory mechanisms should be strengthened. (3) The green preferences of consumers are a key exogenous variable that significantly affects the decisions of agricultural enterprises and government. This study improves the policy analysis of pesticide and fertilizer use reduction in the Chinese context and provides innovative ideas for building a policy system to reduce the use of pesticides and fertilizers. The research conclusions provide guidance for promoting the reduction of pesticides and fertilizers use by agricultural enterprises.

Authors: Babaeinejad Mostafa , Matinhomaee Hasan , Fatolahi Hoseyn
Published: October 2023

Background: Follistatin-like 1 (FSTL-1) and leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) are two myokines that are affected by overweight and have inflammatory and damaging effects. Considering that exercise reduces excess weight, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of aerobic and resistance training on FSTL-1 and LIF muscle gene expression in rats fed with a high-fat diet. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, 32 rats were randomly divided into healthy control, obese control, obese+aerobic exercise, and obese+resistance exercise groups. The training was performed for 4 weeks at aerobic moderate intensity (50-65% VO2max). For resistance training, rats were also trained to climb the ladder (height 110 cm, slope 80%, and the distance between the bars of the ladder 2 cm), which is based on the determination of one repetition maximum. A high-fat diet was prepared with 40% fat, 13% protein, and 47% carbohydrates and continued until the rats reached the obesity range. The tissue sample was taken from the gluteus muscle. Results: The expression of FSTL-1 and LIF in the obese control group increased significantly compared to the healthy control group (P=0.044 and P=0.039, respectively). The expression of FSTL-1 and LIF in the resistance training group significantly decreased in comparison to the obese control group (P=0.049 and P=0.046, respectively). There was no significant difference between the aerobic exercise group and the obese control group (P=0.053 and P=0.059, respectively). However, a significant difference was observed between aerobic and resistance training groups in terms of FSTL-1 (P=0.042). Conclusion: Resistance exercise seems to have a greater and better effect on FSTL-1 and LIF in the muscles of obese samples compared to aerobic exercise.

Published: October 2023

Background: Transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block is used to manage pain in patients undergoing laparotomy abdominal surgery. This study aimed to investigate the effect of ultrasound-guided TAP block on postoperative pain and complications in patients undergoing laparotomy abdominal surgery. Materials and Methods: In this randomized double-blinded prospective clinical trial, 64 patients undergoing laparotomy surgery were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria and were randomly divided into two groups with 32 patients in each group. General anesthesia was induced in all patients. At the end of the surgery, a TAP block was performed under ultrasound guidance in the intervention group, and the control group received no intervention. The severity of pain was assessed 2, 6, 12, 18, and 24 hours after surgery using visual analogue scale (VAS) criteria. Patients who scored their pain more than 4 on the VAS for pain relief received 25 mg of intravenous (IV) pethidine. Furthermore, potential complications, including nausea, vomiting, and dizziness were assessed and recorded in both groups. Results: Mean pain severity 2, 4, 6, 12, 18, and 18 hours after surgery was significantly lower in the TAP-block group than in the control group (P=0.001). The mean dose of pethidine received in TAP block patients was 28.90±19.16 and 60.93±14.11 in the control group, which showed a significant difference (P=0.001). Moreover, the mean time to the first dose of pethidine in patients in the TAP block group and the control group was 15.36±3.56 and 8.43±4.28 hours after surgery (P=0.001). In addition, the incidence of nausea and vomiting was lower in the TAP group than in the control group. Conclusion: Ultrasound-guided TAP block can control post-laparotomy pain and reduce opioid use during hospitalization.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the effect of 8-weeks of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) with L-cysteine consumption on tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and C-reactive protein (CRP) of heart tissue in young rats with type 2 diabetes. Methods: The statistical population of the present study consisted of young (4 months) rats with type 2 diabetes. Ten rats were selected as a healthy group, and 40 rats became diabetic. Diabetic rats were randomly divided into four groups: diabetes control, diabetics with training, diabetics with supplements, and diabetics with training+supplement. Moreover, high-intensity interval exercises were performed 3 days a week for 8 weeks, and 500 micromoles of L-cysteine were administered daily. Results: The training+supplement group had significantly higher TNF-α levels compared to the diabetic control group (P=0.002). The diabetic control group (P=0.001) and training group (P=0.001) had higher TNF-α levels compared to the healthy control. The supplement group had significantly less TNF-α compared to the diabetic control group (P=0.003), while the supplement group (P=0.019) and the training+supplement group (P=0.013) had lower TNF-α levels compared to the training group. Moreover, the training+supplement group had lower CRP levels compared to the diabetic control group (P=0.001), while the diabetic control (P=0.001), exercise (P=0.002), and supplement group (P=0.031) had higher CRP levels compared to the healthy control. Moreover, the training group (P=0.038) and the supplement group (P=0.002) had lower CRP compared to the diabetic control group. Furthermore, the training+supplement group had a lower CRP level compared to the training group (P=0.03). Conclusion: HIIT along with the L-cysteine consumption reduced TNF-α and CRP in the heart tissue of diabetic rats.
Barriers to Building Information Modeling (BIM) Implementation in Pakistan during The Post-Flood Era: An Interpretive Structural Modelling (ISM) Approach
Authors: Bin Mohd Idris Mohd Fadzil , Tahir Muhammad
Published: October 2023

Pakistan experienced one of the most severe floods recently in 2022. The post-flood eras have faced huge destruction in economic loss and infrastructure disaster. Effective infrastructure is essential in the development of a region. Pakistan is a developing country having less availability of resources and a lack of proper planning to cater to natural hazards and faces huge destruction in flood-hit areas. The reasons behind these destructions are unending, some of which have been identified through past literature. Building information modelling is thus a foundation of digital transformation in the infrastructure or architecture, engineering, and the Architecture, engineering, and construction industry. Incorporating BIM in the renovation and rebuilding of infrastructure is a prominent solution to prevent the post-flood era from devastation. This study aims to determine the barriers to the implementation of BIM. After reviewing the literature, several barriers have been identified, and 13 of them have been used in this study as strong hurdles in the implementation of BIM in the post-flood areas of Pakistan. The ISM technique (interpretive structure modelling) has been used to draw results regarding the identified barriers. The results indicated these barriers of different levels corresponding to their importance. This study is a great addition to the growing body of literature regarding flood adverse effects and a practical guideline to the AEC industry where architecture, constructors, and other experts in this field can take great assistance towards lessening and overcoming the barriers identified to implementing BIM.

Published: October 2023

Makalah ini membahas hasil analisis numerik perubahan bentuk tanggul yang dibangun di atas tanah lunak yang telah distabilkan dengan tekanan vakum dan drainase vertikal menggunakan prefabricated vertical drains (PVDs). Data geometri dan data tanah dikumpulkan dari STA.19+750 Jalan Tol Trans Sumatera. Tanah dasar merupakan lempung lunak hingga kedalaman 20 m. Di atas lapisan tanah lunak terdapat rawa rawa sehingga diperlukan tanggul yang tinggi untuk mencapai elevasi dasar jalan. Peningkatan kekuatan tanah setelah stabilisasi menggunakan tekanan vakum dan PVD dipertimbangkan dalam analisis ini berdasarkan hasil uji sondir sebelum dan sesudah perbaikan tanah. Geotekstil digunakan di dasar timbunan sementara turap dipasang di bawah tepi timbunan untuk membatasi pergeseran lateral timbunan. Hasil analisis numerik menunjukkan bahwa timbunan setinggi 6 m aman terhadap deformasi yang berlebihan serta penyebaran lateral. Bahkan setelah pemberian beban konstruksi dan beban lalu lintas, deformasi maksimum di tengah tanggul hanya 40 mm, sedangkan gaya tarik pada geotekstil adalah 0,11 kN. Keberadaan turap secara efektif mengurangi gaya tarik yang harus ditahan oleh lapisan geotekstil dan memindahkan lokasi gaya tarik maksimum ke arah garis tengah timbunan. Pergeseran maksimum kepala turap setelah pemberian beban konstruksi dan lalulintas adalah 6,35 mm

Published: October 2023

Sambungan merupakan komponen bangunan yang sangat penting, karena berperan sebagai penyalur beban antara balok dan kolom. Untuk mengetahui kapasitas sambungan, metode eksperimental adalah cara yang paling mendekati kondisi aktual. Akan tetapi waktu, biaya, peralatan dan sumber daya manusia harus mnejadi pertimbangan. Dalam paper ini digunakan metode elemen hingga menggunakan Ansys Workbench sebagai cara alternatif dari eksperimental. Jenis sambungan yang dipelajari adalah sambungan flush end plate tebal 20mm, baut diameter 20mm, balok IWF 300x200x8x12 dan kolom IWF 300x250x8x12. Ukuran mesh pada elemen diatur untuk mendapatkan hasil yang optimal dengan tetap mempertimbangkan lamanya proses perhitungan, dimana untuk diarea titik kumpul ukuran mesh 5mm sedangkan pada balok kolom ukuran mesh 10mm. Untuk kontak antar elemen digunakan dua jenis kontak yaitu bonded dan frictional. Adapun fixed dan rolled constraint, digunakan sebagai perletakan di dalam simulasi. Output yang dikeluarkan dari ANSYS workbench antara lain kontur deformasi, kontur tegangan, dan nilai momen-rotasi. Hasil simulasi menunjukkan bahwa deformasi terbesar terjadi sebesar 153 mm. Tegangan yang terbesar terjadi pada bagian baut, sehingga diprediksi terjadi kegagalan tarik pada baut. Perbandingan momen rotasi hasil simulasi dan eksperimen memberikan hasil yang cukup memuaskan dengan selisih sebesar 4.8% untuk momen dan 11.4% untuk kekakuan sambungan.

ANALISA PENGARUH KEKERASAN PERMUKAAN TERHADAP KAPASITAS ALIRAN VISKOSITAS DAN TINGGI ALIRAN DALAM PIPA
Authors: Junita Boni , Intang Ambo
Published: October 2023

Setiap fluida yang mengalir melalui pipa akan menghasilkan gesekan yang dapat mengakibatkan suatu kerugian berupa kerugian penurunan tekanan. Untuk menangani masalah ini diperlukan penanganan khusus untuk mencegah atau mengurangi kerugian-kerugian yang diakibatkan oleh gesekan antara fluida dengan dinding pipa sehingga diketahui bagaimana pengaruh kekasaran permukaan terhadap debit dan tekanan pada aliran viskos pada pipa. Aliran fluida (air) dalam saluran tertutup (pipa silinder 1/2 inchi) dapat mengalami kondisi laminer dan turbulen. Kondisi tersebut dapat ditentukan dengan melihat bilangan Reynolds dengan melihat kondisi kekasaran dinding pada permukaan pipa. Dalam penelitian ini akan dianalisa pengaruh dari kekasaran permukaan terhadap debit dan tekanan pada aliran viskos pada pipa silinder 1/2 inchi. Sehingga didapat bahwa kekasaran permukaan sangat berpengaruh terhadap rugi head yang terjadi pada aliran fluida, yang mana semakin kasar permukaan dalam pipa maka nilai kapasitas aliran semakin menurun dan nilai tekanan akan semakin meningkat dan besar.

The best treatment was the treatment of Gracilaria verrucosa drying 10 hours + 4% KOH extraction + drying cabinet dryer) which resulted in an average moisture content of 12.48%, yield 19.175%, density 0.624%, viscosity 75.4 cps, color (L*a* b) 25.08*-4.36% 1.38, color organoleptic 5.13 (rather like) and aroma organoleptic 4.80 (ordinary-rather like).
Karakterisasi senyawa kompleks dengan logam transisi pada mikropartikel bunga cempaka (Magnolia champaca (L.) Baill. Ex Pierre) sebagai kandidat potensial nutrasetikal
Authors: Maghfiroh Khoirin , Utomo Deny
Published: October 2023

The components of complex compounds containing transition metals play a significant role in regulating the nutraceutical ability for disease prevention and treatment. The bonding of complex molecules with transition metals allows energy to be transferred between complex compounds that enter the body and systems within the body. The aim of this research was to investigate the composition of complex chemical components including transition metals used in the processing of M. champaca flowers for potential nutraceuticals. Transition metal identification (XRF), compound identification (LC-MS), functional group identification (FTIR), crystal character identification (XRD), particle surface morphology identification (SEM), particle size identification (PSA), and identification of physicochemical characters of Niacin complex with transition metals (SwissADME) are among the stages of the study. The results showed that the highest type of transition metal was Fe, containing to 0.42%, Niacin group compounds identified were Nicotinic acid and Nicotinamide, in the region 505 - 405 cm-1, there is a transition metal bond with a Fe (Fe - O) functional group, solid particles in M. champaca microparticles were amorphous, peak peaks at an angle of 2ɵ 19,83°, Particle morphology is similar to powder on its surface, particles measuring 208.20 µm. The physicochemical properties of the Niacin complex with transition metals demonstrate that niacin group chemicals have different effects on nicotinic acid and nicotinamide. These complex chemicals are generally easily absorbed by body systems. Since the synthesis of niacin complexes with transition metals has improved physicochemical properties, it could be employed as a possible nutraceutical candidate.

About Alfred Baeumler’s Nietzsche. 2. 'The Solitude of Nietzsche'
Authors: Gómez-Jeria Juan Sebastián
Published: October 2023

The little or no knowledge of the philosopher Alfred Baeumler on the part of those who are not German speaking makes it imperative to present various facets of his thought for a fair and correct evaluation of his philosophical activity. Therefore, here we present the first English version of the text 'The Solitude of Nietzsche', along with some comments on the 'haste' of some post-1945 writers to present Nietzsche as a fundamental pillar of National Socialism, a matter that is not clear for lack of scientifically convincing evidence.

An Appraisal of External influences in the Development of Corporate Criminal Responsibility in Cameroon
Authors: Efubai Acho Charles
Published: October 2023

Legislations on corporate criminal responsibility often arise out of a pressing crisis, public outrage and the desire to be seen to have acted. However, the eventual enforcement of such legislation is often more weaker than originally promised. Despite the introduction of corporate criminal responsibility into the Cameroonian legal system, there are both institutional and human influences that have marked its development and implementation. It’s likely that external factors are able to affect the final content of the legislation and its implementation. This article analyses the external influences that have affected and which continue to affect the development of corporate criminal responsibility in Cameroon. This article also hails the insertion of corporate criminal responsibility in the revised Penal Code of 12 July 2016 as well as in other specific sectoral legislations. However, this article opines that the law poses very glaring challenges with regards to the imputation of corporate criminal liability and some practical challenges linked with the execution of some categories of sanctions which are not unconnected with the influences of some external parties. This article concludes with the call for the enactment of a specific corporate criminal code as well as the revision of the criminal procedure code in order to insert procedural provisions specific to corporate responsibility in Cameroon.
The Aesthetics of Sound: A Stylistic Exploration of J.P. Clark's Dramatic Texts
Authors: Shaguy Abosede Oyinlola
Published: October 2023

Previous research on J.P Clark’s “Ozidi” and “The Raft” primarily focused on literary elements like theme, characterization, and subject matter. These examinations often overlooked the significance of sound devices in emphasizing stylistic interpretations and the author's communicative goals, both essential for a thorough understanding and interpretation of the works. This analysis, in contrast, delves into the stylistic importance of phonological tools as indicators of meaning within the texts. Using M.A.K. Halliday’s Systemic Functional Grammar for analysis, this study explores sound devices, including alliteration, assonance, and repetition, to highlight specific meanings. The phonological framework is key to capturing the essence and aesthetic appeal of J.P. Clark’s dramatic works.

Published: October 2023

Background: Prostaglandins have a central role in the cervical ripening and parturition, and have been widely used for induction of labor (IOL). This study aimed to compare the effectiveness and safety of Dinoprostone vaginal tape (Propess) over Dinoprostone vaginal tablets (Prostin) for IOL and find which has better outcome to be applied in clinical practice. Participants and Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted via reviewing of medical records of multipara women admitted to King Fahad Medical City, Riyadh between January-2021 and December-2022 for IOL by Propess or Prostin. Results: A total of 87 multipara women were included in the study; 39 (44.8%) were treated by Propess and 48 (55.2%) were treated by Prostin for IOL. Full dilatation of the cervix after induction of labour was reported among majority of women (94.2%): being 92.1% among women treated with Propess and 95.8% among those treated with Prostin, however, this difference was not statistically significant, p>0.05. Regarding mode of delivery, normal spontaneous vaginal delivery was reported among 84.9% of women; 86.8% among women treated with Propess and 83.3% among those treated with Prostin while emergency cesarean section delivery was reported among 10.5% of women; 7.9% among women treated with Propess and 12.5% among those treated with Prostin. However, these differences were not statistically significant, p>0.05. Conclusion: The success rate of IOL among multipara women was high; however, no difference was reported between Propess and Prostin as regards the effectiveness (maximum cervical dilatation) and safety (rate of emergency cesarean section).
Review on Praval Panchamrita Rasa: A Natural Calcium Supplement
Authors: Sharma Usha , Rani Sheenam
Published: October 2023

Rasashastra (Itrochemistry), is a pharmaceutical subsidiary of Ayurveda that mainly deals with formulations containing minerals/metals. Praval Panchamrita Rasa is one of them which is a very versatile Ayurvedic formulation due to its multiple indications, mainly for Vata and Kapha diseases. This formulation is a combination of five Bhasmas i.e. Praval Bhasma, Mukta Bhasma, Shankha Bhasma, Shukti Bhasma and Kapardika Bhasma which are of marine origin and is triturated with Arka Ksheer (latex of Calotropis procera L.) and subjected to incineration. The latex of Calotropis procera L. plays an important role as a reducing and capping agent resulting in the green synthesis of nanoparticles. Preval Panchamrita Rasa has been mentioned in different classical texts such as Yoga Ratnakara, Bhaishajya Ratnavali, AFI, Rasa Yoga Sagar etc. Acharyas have described this formulation as “Sarvagadapahari” i.e. it can cure all diseases. XRD study of Praval Panchamrita Rasa revealed the maximum value of calcite form of calcium carbonate, while SEM study illustrated the smaller particle size range (max size ≤6μ) resulting in higher bioavailability of Praval Panchamrita Rasa. It has also been reported that calcium in calcite form is better absorbed as compared to other forms of calcium carbonate. It is a natural source of calcium which is a necessary nutrient for the proper functioning of the human body. Calcium is a crucial element that mediates muscle contraction, exocrine, endocrine and neurocrine secretion, cell growth, transportation and secretion of fluids and electrolytes.
La Côte d’Ivoire A L’épreuve De L’éducation Inclusive: Cas Des Personnes A Handicap Auditif
Authors: Koffi Dadié Paul
Published: October 2023

The Salamanca Declaration on Principles, Policies and Practices in Education and Special Educational Needs (Spain 1994) opens up possibilities for equal opportunities for people with disabilities to access equitable and high-quality education. In many countries, education is considered as a point attention in public policies. To this end, several initiatives are undertaken including compulsory schooling and inclusive education for vulnerable social groups. As far as auditive-illed students' education is concerned, the policy set up till 2012 is the course of specialized institution ECIS. One of the consequences of this pattern remains the almost impossible limited access of all willing students at all levels of education. Since 2015, from coordinated initiatives of diverse partners including the Ministries of Education-Training and Social Protection, partner organizations and SWB, the state decides to begin the integration and maintenance of deaf students in the regular educational circuit. This article questions the social determinants of Côte d'Ivoire’s progress in inclusive education.
Sustained Clinical Response to Immunotherapy Followed by BET Inhibitor in a Patient with Unresectable Sinonasal NUT Carcinoma
Authors: Herbison Harriet , Davis Sidney , Nickless David , Haydon Andrew , Ameratunga Malaka
Published: October 2023

NUT carcinomas (NCs) are a group of rare tumors that can occur anywhere in the body and are defined by the fusion of the nuclear protein in testis (NUTM1) resulting in increased transcription of proto-oncogenes. NCs have a poor prognosis that varies according to the site of origin with an urgent need to develop new treatment strategies. Case reports on immunotherapy in pulmonary NC have been published, and bromodomain and extraterminal (BET) inhibitors have shown activity in NC in phase I/II trials. We present the case of a 27-year-old woman with an unresectable sinonasal NC who had a sustained clinical response to both immunotherapy and BET inhibitor therapy. This is the first reported case of immunotherapy in sinonasal NC, and it highlights the different responses to a range of treatments including BET inhibitor therapy. This case supports the theory that NCs arising from different primary sites have differing prognoses.
