The aim of this cross-sectional comparative study was to determine and compare fasting serum resistin and fasting blood glucose (FBG) level in the newly diagnosed pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) patients having and not having diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM). Eighty four male subjects were divided equally into groups. Group 1, healthy controls (n=28), group 2, newly diagnosed patients of pulmonary tuberculosis without DM (n=28) and group 3 included new pulmonary TB patients with newly diagnosed DM type 2 (n=28). Serum resistin and fasting blood glucose levels were determined before starting anti-TB and hyperglycemia treatment.Severity of TB was determined by analysis of sputum for bacterial load. Fasting serum resistin was done by ELISA and fasting blood Glucose by a glucose oxidase kit. Fasting blood glucose showed a significant difference between the three study groups (p= 0.000). Fasting serum resistin levels did not show a statistically significant (p= 0.098) difference between the groups. However a significant difference in serum resistin levels (p= 0.029) was observed when the TB patients were divided according to sputum smear analysis reports. Disease severity can influence serum resistin levels. Hyperglycemia present in the TB non-diabetic patients before starting ATTshould be taken into consideration.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION

Poison is a substance having deleterious effect on living system. The incidence of poisoning is increasing day by day and it is a major problem worldwide and in Pakistan also. Children are equally susceptible to poisoning as are adults. Keeping in view this scenario, the present study was designed to investigate prevalence of poisoning cases over a period of last two years (2015-2016) on the basis of types of poisons, age groups, gender, residency of victims, any suicide note and manner of poisoning by the scrutiny of autopsy cases of death due to poisoning presented in department of forensic medicine & toxicology, KEMU, Lahore.

methods

The data was extracted from autopsy reports in the department of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology KEMU, Lahore. Out of 1533 cases in last two years, 62 cases of poisoning were found. All those 62 cases of poisoning were included and all other cases where death was due to causes other than autopsy were excluded.

results

 Most of reported cases were accidental(62.9%) while 19.4% were suicidal and 17.7% were homicidal. 61.3% cases were of males while 38.7% cases were of females. There were 69.3% cases in age group of 20-39 years. In none of the case any suicidal note was found.

conclusion

Most of the deaths due to poisoning was revealed to be accidental. Males were predominantly more affected by poisoning as compared to the females. Death due to poisoning was prevalent in 20-39 years age group.

To assess parents knowledge and awareness about oral health and hygiene and to investigate oral hygiene practices of their children .

Materials and Methods :A questionnaire based survey was conducted among randomly selected parents of 300 children attending the outdoor Paedodontic department of Punjab dental hospital, Lahore from different cities of Punjab province. Total 300 distributed questionnaires, each having two parts were filled and returned by parents on next appointment visit of their children. The data was analyzed using SPSS software version 21.0. Ethical clearance for the study was obtained from institutional/hospital Ethical Committee.

Results:74.35%  parents acknowledged the importance of oral hygiene. 35.3% parents considered good oral health important for general health. Most of the parents (64.7%) didn’t know that primary teeth affect permanent teeth and 70% of parents didn’t think that primary carious teeth require treatment. Majority of the parents (78.3% and 55.7% respectively) didn’t know that pacifiers/bottles(feeders) affect the infants /childs oral health and should be replaced by feeding cups when the child is able to hold it. 82.7% parents knew that sweet sticky food causes caries however 61.3% didn’t consider frequent intake of artically flavoured juices,beverages detrimental for oral health. Most of the parents (75%) considered tooth brushing important but 57.7% didn’t know that bedtime brushing is extremely beneficial for oral health. 62.3% parents did not know that fluoride toothpastes provide protection against dental caries and  51% of the parents didn’t consider routine dental checkups necessary. According to the data, 39.7% parents initiated teeth brushing of their children at the age of 19-24 months, followed by 25-30 months (25%). Majority of the children were supervised/ helped in cleaning teeth (92%). Most of the children were found to brush their teeth only once a day (73%). Most frequently used tooth cleaning aid was tooth brush & tooth paste (66%) followed by maswak (18% ). Most of the children spent thirty seconds on brushing (62.3%) followed by one minute (17.7%). Most of the children brush their teeth in horizontal direction (57%) followed by haphazard (34%) direction.  65.7%) of the parents didn’t remember when they last changed their child’s tooth brush. Majority of the parents (45.3%) took their child for dental visit more than one year ago and main reason for visit was pain (71%). Most of the children took sweet sticky food several times a day (65%).

Conclusion:Parents awareness about oral health and hygiene is the need of hour to improve oral health of children in our country. The results of this study lay emphasis on conduction of various educational and motivational programmes among the parents about significance of oral health and  hygiene at grassroots level.

Objective: To compare the effect of magnesium sulphate in eclamptic patients receiving standard Pritchard regimen with those on low dose Magnesium sulphate.

Study Design: Randomized control trial. Setting: This study is conducted at Gynecology & Obstetrics department of Lahore General Hospital for the six months duration of study from 4th January 2018 to 3rd July 2018.

Subject and method: Through Consecutive non-probability purposive sampling, Total admitted 100 cases (50 in each group) of eclampsia after fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria were included in this study. After taking informed consent, they were divided into 2 groups group A & B by random allocation based on table of random numbers. All patients in group A received standard Pritchard regimen, while those in Group B were given low dose Magnesium sulphate. Both groups received same antihypertensive medications (methyl dopa & nefidipine). Patient was observed for absence or presence of knee jerk, oliguria and seizure recurrence.

Results; In our study, only 14% of individuals who received low dose magnesium sulphate developed oliguria compared to 18% of standard Pritchard regimen (p-value = 0.585) .Similarly only 12% individuals among low dose group developed absent knee reflex compared to 14% of individuals who received Pritchard dose (p-value = 0.766). However, seizure recurrence was slightly increased among low dose group i.e., 10% compared to 8% of those who received standard Pritchard regimen (p-value = 0.727). Statistically low dose magnesium sulphate has been equally comparable for the treatment of eclampsia.

Conclusion; There is no statistical difference among the low dose group compared to Pritchard regimen, so low dose magnesium sulphate can be instituted in resource restricted areas of population where getting serum magnesium levels is not possible.

Masikka' is a poem that is sung or sung by the Customary Stakeholders (the leader of the poem sings first and then followed by other singers) when a member of the nobility (Parengnge' and Tomatua) dies. To get the meaning of the poem and the theological values ​​contained in Masikka', the two authors used qualitative methods to find information related to Masikka culture and went directly to conducting interviews in Rante Peace. Masikka' is done to give final respect to people who have died for the services or influences that have been carried out during their life to the Rante Balla community and also there is an understanding that this culture is carried out as a provision for that person to go to a new world (another world). In this article the author uses a qualitative method using the Anthropological model approach of Stpehen B. Vans. The purpose of this article is to examine theologically the implementation of the Masikka ritual at a funeral in the Peace Chain Village from the perspective of Stephen B, Vans' anthropological model.

Published: May 2023

A Atenção Farmacêutica é um novo papel para o profissional farmacêutico, pautado nas ações proativas preconizadas pela Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS), pautadas na farmacovigilância e na farmacologia adequada para cada paciente. Os primeiros estudos que avaliam a eficácia dessa intervenção no tratamento de pacientes com hipertensão não controlada demonstram a eficácia e potencial contribuição para o controle da hipertensão por meio de tratamentos não farmacológicos e farmacológicos adquiridos durante a assistência farmacêutica. Os serviços clínicos são prestados por farmacêuticos que desempenham um papel ativo na saúde de indivíduos, famílias e comunidades por meio de intervenções direcionadas a pacientes, outros profissionais de saúde e serviços de saúde. Os serviços de farmácia são projetados para melhorar a qualidade do atendimento e a qualidade de vida do paciente. Em relação à disponibilidade de tratamento e monitoramento eficazes, o controle da hipertensão arterial em escala populacional está longe do ideal, sendo a falta de adesão e o início tardio da terapia medicamentosa as principais razões para os maus resultados do tratamento hipertensão arterial. Portanto, o acompanhamento do paciente hipertenso pelo farmacêutico é fundamental, pois o controle da hipertensão arterial depende da adesão e continuidade do tratamento.
Origin of secondary fatty alcohols in atmospheric aerosols in a cool-temperate forest based on their mass size distributions

Published: May 2023

Abstract. Fatty alcohols (FAs) are major components of surface lipids in plant leaves and serve as surface-active organic aerosols (OAs), which can act as primary biological aerosol particles (PBAPs). To elucidate the origin and formation of secondary fatty alcohols (SFAs) in atmospheric aerosols, their mass size distribution in aerosol samples obtained from a deciduous forest canopy was measured in spring, summer, and autumn. The SFAs showed the highest concentration in spring (growing season), with n-nonacosan-10-ol being the most abundant. In spring and summer, the size peak of n-nonacosan-10-ol was in particle size range >10.0 μm, whereas it was in the 1.9–3.0 μm range in autumn. The size distribution of n-nonacosan-10-ol did not show any significant correlation with that of the known biogenic tracers of pollen, soil, and fungal spores in spring and summer. The overall results, together with SFAs measured in plant leaves, as well as the literature, suggest that SFAs originate mostly from plant waxes, and that leaf senescence status is likely an important factor controlling the size distribution of SFAs. This study provides new insights into the possible sources of PBAPs and their effects on the ice nucleation activity of aerosols based on seasonal changes in particle size.
Nonlinear increase in seawater 87Sr/86Sr in the Oligocene to early Miocene and implications for climate-sensitive weathering

Published: May 2023

Abstract. The 87Sr/86Sr of marine carbonates provides a key constraint on the balance of continental weathering and hydrothermal Sr fluxes to the ocean, and mid-Oligocene to mid-Miocene features the most rapid rates of increase in the 87Sr/86Sr of the Cenozoic. Because previous records of the 87Sr/86Sr increase with time were based on biostratigraphically defined age models in diverse locations, it was difficult to unambigiously distinguish m.y. scale variations in the rate of 87Sr/86Sr change from variations in sedimentation rate. In this study, we produce the first 87Sr/86Sr results from an Oligocene to early Miocene site with a precise age model derived orbital tuning of high resolution benthic δ18O, at the Equatorial Pacific Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Site 1218. Our new dataset resolves transient decreases in 87Sr/86Sr, as well as periods of relative stasis. These changes can be directly compared with the high resolution benthic δ18O in the same site. We find slowing of the rate of 87Sr/86Sr increase coincides with the onset of Antarctic ice expansion at the beginning of the Mid-Oligocene Glacial Interval, and a rapid steeping in the 87Sr/86Sr increase coincides with the benthic δ18O evidence for rapid ice retreat. This pattern may reflect either northward shifts in the Intertropical Convergence Zone precipitation to areas of nonradiogenic bedrock, and/or lowered weathering fluxes from highly radiogenic glacial flours on Antarctic. We additionally generate the first 87Sr/86Sr data from ODP Site 1168 and International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Site 1406 during the Oligocene to early Miocene to improve the precision of age correlation of these Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere mid-latitude sites, and to better estimate the duration of early Miocene hiatus and condensed sedimentation.
Climatology of aerosol properties at an atmospheric monitoring site on the Northern California coast

Published: May 2023

Abstract. Between April 2002 and June 2017, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Earth System Research Laboratory (ESRL) made continuous measurements of a suite of in-situ aerosol optical properties at a long-term monitoring site near Trinidad Head (THD), California. In addition to aerosol optical properties, between 2002–2006 a scanning humidograph system was operated and inorganic ion and total aerosol mass concentrations were obtained from filter measurements. Combined analysis of these datasets demonstrates consistent patterns in aerosol climatology and highlights changes in sources throughout the year. THD is predictably dominated by sea salt aerosols, however, marine biogenic aerosols are the largest contributor to PM1 in the warmer months. Additionally, a persistent combustion source appears in the winter, likely a result of wintertime home heating. While the influences of local anthropogenic sources from vehicular and marine traffic are visible in the optical aerosol data, their influence is largely dictated by wind direction at the site. Comparison of the THD aerosol climatology to that reported for other marine sites shows that the location is representative of clean marine measurements, even with the periodic influence of anthropogenic sources.
Real-world observations of ultrafine particles and reduced nitrogen in commercial cooking organic aerosol emissions
Authors: Kim Sunhye , Machesky Jo , Gentner Drew R. , Presto Albert A.
Published: May 2023

Abstract. Cooking is an important but understudied source of urban anthropogenic fine particulate matter (PM2.5). Using a mobile laboratory, we measured PM size and composition in urban restaurant  plumes. Size distribution measurements indicate that restaurants are a source of urban ultrafine particles (UFPs, particles <100 nm diameter), with a mode diameter <50 nm across sampled restaurants and particle number concentrations (PNC, a proxy for UFPs) that were substantially elevated relative to the urban background. The majority of observed PM was organic aerosol (OA) by mass. Aerosol mass spectra show that while emissions from most restaurants were similar, there were key mass spectral differences. All restaurants emit OA at m/z 41, 43, and 55, though the composition (e.g., the ratio of oxygenated to reduced ions at specific m/z) varied across locations. All restaurant emissions included reduced nitrogen species detected as CxHyN+ fragments, making up ~15 % of OA mass measured in plumes, with reduced molecular functionalities (e.g., amines, imides) that were often accompanied by oxygen-containing functional groups. The largest reduced nitrogen emissions were observed from a commercial bread bakery (i.e., 30–50 % of OA mass), highlighting the marked differences between restaurants and their importance for emissions of both urban UFPs and reduced nitrogen.
Opinion: A Critical Evaluation of the Evidence for Aerosol Invigoration of Deep Convection

Published: May 2023

Abstract. Deep convective updraft invigoration via indirect effects of increased aerosol number concentration on cloud microphysics is frequently cited as a driver of correlations between aerosol and deep convection properties. Here, we critically evaluate the theoretical, modeling, and observational evidence for warm- and cold-phase invigoration pathways. Though warm-phase invigoration is plausible and theoretically supported via lowering of the supersaturation with increased cloud droplet concentration in polluted conditions, the significance of this effect depends on substantial supersaturation changes in real-world convective clouds that have not been observed. Much of the theoretical support for cold-phase invigoration depends on unrealistic assumptions of instantaneous freezing and unloading of condensate in growing, isolated updrafts. When applying more realistic assumptions, impacts on buoyancy from enhanced latent heating via fusion in polluted conditions are largely canceled by greater condensate loading. Foundational observational studies supporting invigoration have several fundamental methodological flaws that render their findings incorrect or highly questionable. Thus, much of the evidence for invigoration has come from numerical modeling, but different models and setups have produced a vast range of results. Furthermore, modeled aerosol impacts on deep convection are rarely tested for robustness, and microphysical biases relative to observations persist, rendering many results unreliable for application to the real world. Without clear theoretical, modeling, or observational support, and given that enervation rather than invigoration may occur for some deep convective regimes and environments, it is entirely possible that the overall impact of cold-phase invigoration is negligible. Substantial mesoscale variability of dominant thermodynamic controls on convective updraft strength coupled with substantial updraft and aerosol variability in any given event are poorly quantified by observations and present further challenges to isolating aerosol effects. Observational isolation and quantification of convective invigoration by aerosols is also complicated by limitations of available cloud condensation nuclei and updraft speed proxies, aerosol correlations with meteorological conditions, and cloud impacts on aerosols. Furthermore, many cloud processes such as entrainment and condensate fallout modulate updraft strength and aerosol-cloud interactions, varying with cloud life cycle and organization, but these processes remain poorly characterized. Considering these challenges, recommendations for future observational and modeling research related to aerosol invigoration of deep convection are provided.

Published: May 2023

Abstract. With the EU-funded PACE project in the turn of this century, several deep boreholes (100 m +) were drilled in European mountain sites, including mainland Norway, Svalbard and Sweden. During other projects from c. 2004 and the International Polar Year (IPY) period in 2006/07, several additional boreholes were drilled in different sites in both Norway and Iceland, measuring temperatures along both altitudinal and latitudinal gradients. At most sites, multi-temporal geophysical soundings are available using seismic and electrical resistivity tomography (ERT). Here we study the development of permafrost and ground temperatures in mainland Norway and Iceland based on these data sets. We document that permafrost in is warming at an high rate, including the development of taliks in both Norway and Iceland in response to climate change during the last 20 years. At most sites ground surface temperature (GST) is apparently increasing stronger than surface air temperature (SAT). Changing snow conditions appear to be the most important factor for the higher GST rates. Modelling exercises also indicate that the talik development can by explained both by higher air temperatures and increasing snow cover.

A fauna edáfica tem papel funamental para que o solo seja considerado um organismo vivo. Esses organismos contribuem na cilclagem da matéria orgânica, influenciando diretamente na fertilidade do solo, sendo considerados bioindicadores de qualidade do solo. Nesse cenário, a pesquisa objetivou uma caracterização preliminar da composição da mesofauna edáfica em duas áreas, sendo uma de policultivo e outra antropizada, no município de Sumé (PB), Cariri paraibano, para agregar conhecimento a um ramo da ciência que tem uma gama de fatores que ainda necessitam serem estudados e analizados. A pesquisa foi conduzida na área experimental de policultura, localizada na Fazenda Experimental do CDSA e numa área antropizada nas proximidades desta. Em relação ao tipo de solo predominante em ambas as áreas o solo foi caracterizado como LUVISSOLO CRÔMICO Órtico típico. A coleta dos organismos foi realizada com auxílio de 12 cilindros metálicos vazados com dimensões de 6 x 4 cm e a mesofauna foi extraída pelo método de Berlese-Tullgren. Foram coletados um total de 10 indivídous da mesofauna nas duas áreas, sendo apenas dois indivíduos na área antropizada. Os grupos mais frequentes foram Collembola (62,5%), Diptera (25%) e Acarinae (12,5%). Com base nos resultados da pesquisa observou-se que na área de policultura ocorreu uma maior diversidade de grupos em relação a área antropizada, demonstrando assim que a área dos sistemas de policultivos (agroeflorestas) são ambientes de maior biodiversidade e que o sistema deve ser incentivado como prática de conservação do solo e promoção da qualidade ambiental.

La regolazione del lavoro nelle piccole imprese
Authors: Regalia Ida
Published: May 2023

Il contributo affronta la regolazione del lavoro nelle piccole imprese (5-49 addetti): tema sottovalutato nel dibattito pubblico e scientifico, ma di notevole rilevanza per il grande peso quantitativo di questa realtà socio-economica e per i risvolti di policy che ne possono derivare. Utilizzando un ampio approccio analitico che allarga lo sguardo alle dinamiche delle relazioni sia all’interno sia all’esterno dell’impresa, vengono individuati quattro diversi modelli di regolazione, la cui logica apre a riflessioni più generali sui modi di concettualizzare oggi le relazioni di impiego.
Programma Garanzia Giovani, occupazione e produttività
Authors: Brunetti Irene , Ricci Andrea
Published: May 2023

L’articolo presenta una valutazione empirica dell’incentivo per le assunzioni previsto dal Programma Garanzia Giovani (GG). Usando un dataset di tipo employer-employees, che integra informazioni di fonte campionaria e amministrativa, è possibile dimostrare che l’utilizzo da parte delle imprese italiane di tale incentivo riduce – nel breve periodo – l’occupazione netta giovanile e si accompagna ad un calo della produttività del lavoro. Le nostre analisi supportano quindi l’ipotesi che il Programma GG non sia stato efficace rispetto all’obiettivo di migliorare le prospettive occupazionali delle coorti di giovani e la produttività del lavoro.

Introduction: Robust measures of integration are essential for assessment of the development, design and implementation of integration within healthcare systems. This review aimed to identify measurement instruments for integration within children and young people’s (CYP) healthcare systems (PROSPERO registration number CRD42021235383).
Methods: We searched electronic databases (PubMED and Ovid Embase) using three main concepts: ‘(integrated care) AND (child population) AND (measurement)’, along with additional searches.
Results: Fifteen studies describing 16 measurement instruments were eligible for inclusion. The majority of studies were conducted in the USA. There was a diversity of health conditions included in the studies. The most frequent type of assessment used was a questionnaire (11 identified), but interviews, patient data and healthcare records, and focus groups were also used. Integration outcomes assessed were quality of care coordination, quality of collaboration, continuity of care, completeness of care, structure of care, quality of communication, and local implementation of integrated care.
Conclusion: A variety of instruments for the measurement of integration within CYP healthcare systems were identified. Further work on the standardisation of integrated care measures would be valuable; however, it is important that instruments and measures meet the needs of specific settings, populations and conditions being studied.

Transposon Mutagenesis for enhancement of nitrogen fixing ability of Rhizobium japonicum infecting Vigna radiata
Authors: Ghatage Abhay , Pandey Rachna , G.R Pathade
Published: May 2023

This study developed mutant library of 800 mutants with transposition frequency of 3.7 x 10- 6. Transposon mutagenesis is an easy and highly effective method for generating bacteria with improved characteristics and gene knockouts. The slow growing Rhizobium japonicum isolated from root nodules of locally grown mung bean plant. The isolated strain was subjected for transposon mutagenesis to produce 800 mutants. These 800 mutants were screened for nodulation. After screening of these 800 mutants, the100 mutants showed pink coloured nodulation to mung bean plant. Out of 100 mutants 10 were promising for nodulation and nitrogen fixation. Bacterial surface polysaccharides including Exopolysaccharides (EPS) and Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are constituents of the bacterial cell wall. They have been reported in numerous studies as symbiotically important; defects in EPS production tend to result in arrest at the infection thread stage which is the early stage of nodulation. EPS and LPS were isolated from wild variety and mutant variety. The polysaccharides production in mutant and wild variety were compared. This study was aimed to investigate the role of EPS and LPS on nodulation and enhancement of nitrogen fixation of Rhizobium japonicum infecting Vigna radiata.
