Objectives: To examine a model of associations between cognition, functionality, and lifespace mobility, and the mediating role of perceived control and autonomy. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study with a sample of older adults aged over 72 years, which used data from the FIBRA study. We used the structural equation modeling technique. Variables in this model were cognition, functionality, perceived control and autonomy, and life-space mobility, with sociodemographic and health covariables. Data imputation was done through the expected maximization method aiming at more effective data utilization. This study was funded by Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior. Results: The mediation model reached good fit indices. Cognition, functionality, and perceived control and autonomy demonstrated a predictive capacity for life space. Functionality and perceived control and autonomy mediated the relationship between cognition and life space; therefore, cognition influences life space, given its associations with the mediating variables. There was a mediating effect of perceived control and autonomy on the relationship between functionality and life space. Conclusions: Perceived control and autonomy have an adaptive role when considering changes in personal competencies. This adaptation is reflected on life spaces, indicating an adjustment between competence and environment. Studies aimed at promoting a good relationship between an individual and his or her context maintaining life space should consider perceived control and autonomy as important mechanisms in this relationship.

Published: September 2023

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is caused by a variety of processes. As a result, one biomarker is insufficient to represent the complete process. This study Evaluate the diagnostic value of serum kidney injury molecule-1(KIM-1) and cystatin C (CysC) as early biochemical markers of DKD and predictive their sensitivities and specificities as biomarkers of nephropathy in Iraqi type 2 diabetic (T2DM) patients. This cross-sectional study include 161 T2DM patients from Diabetes and Endocrinology Center at Merjan medical city in Babylon. Patients divided according to urinary albumin creatinine ratio(ACR) (Group1:ACR≤30mg/g,Group2:ACR>30mg/g). Random spot urine and fasting blood samples were taken from each patient and urinary ACR, blood glycated hemoglobin(HbA1c), and serum glucose, creatinine(SCr), lipid profile, CysC, KIM-1 were assayed, and the estimated glomerular filtration rat (eGFR) was calculated. When compared to the normoalbuminuric group, the DKD group had significantly greater prevalence of retinopathy, and significantly elevated HbA1c and total cholesterol values. Also had significantly greater serum levels of KIM-1 and CysC, and there is a significant (P-value< 0.01) positive correlation between them. In contrast, GFR was significantly higher in normoalbuminuric group and was significantly negatively correlated with both CysC and KIM-1. Multiple linear regression analysis, found that there were a significant positive association between CysC, KIM-1 and ACR. ROC analysis reveal that eGFR had the highest area under the curve(AUC=0.717), while SCr had the lowest AUC(0.556). In conclusion, Serum KIM-1 and CysC levels consider as early biomarker for DKD along with eGFR that consider the best diagnostic indicator of DKD, Additionally, there is a strong correlation between serum CysC and KIM-1 as well as other renal measures that indicate deteriorating kidney function.
Pseudoprogression; discussion of the concept of pseudoprogression on the characteristics of tomographic changes in liver metastases of colorectal cancer patients receiving bevacizumab therapy
Authors: Akdur Pinar , Ciledag Nazan , Savran Burcu , Duran Ayse
Published: September 2023

In this study, we aimed to investigate the concept of pseudoprogression in colorectal cancer patients with liver metastases receiving bevacizumab treatment by considering the changes in the shape, size, and density of liver metastases by abdominal Computed Tomography (CT) scans taken before and after treatment. This study is a retrospective evaluation of 16 patients with metastatic colorectal cancer treated with 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, irinotecan and bevacizumab and is based on computed tissue analysis of the dominant liver lesion at baseline and 2 months after chemotherapy. The borders of all metastatic lesions observed in the livers of patients treated with bevacizumab after adjuvant chemotherapy were sharpened, the size of some lesions remained the same while others increased, and the density of most metastatic lesions decreased. In our study, we concluded that the evaluation of response to treatment based only on size and number should be avoided by noting a pseudoprogression in liver metastases that shows an increase in size but no progression on clinical/laboratory and follow-up images.

Authors: Baransel Esra , Barut Sumeyye
Published: September 2023

The present study aims to examine the health-promoting lifestyle behaviors of midwifery students according to their body mass indexes and body perceptions. This cross-sectional study was conducted with 239 midwifery students at a state university between May and June 2023. Research data were collected using the personal information form, Body Cathexis-Self Cathexis Scale (BC-SCS), and Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile (HPLP). It was determined that the differences between the HPLP and the subscales of interpersonal support, nutrition, and self-actualization were statistically significant according to the students' body perceptions (p<0.05). Students who perceived themselves as slim have higher HPLP and self-actualization mean scores than those who perceived themselves as fat, and it was determined that they have a higher nutrition mean score than those who perceived them as having normal weight. It was determined that the Interpersonal Support mean score of those who perceived themselves as fat was lower. When the mean scores of the students from the HPLP were compared according to their BMI, it was determined that the differences between HPLP and the subscales of interpersonal support, health responsibility, stress management, and self-actualization are statistically significant (p<0.05). According to the research, it is seen that the distribution of healthy lifestyles differs between the body perceptions of midwifery students and their Body Mass Indexes (BMI).

In the histopathological evaluation of the 23 (1.06%) patients, who were included in the study upon the detection of the appendiceal neoplastic lesion, sessile serrated adenoma was observed in 7 patients, low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm (LAMN) in 6 patients, mucinous adenocarcinoma in 4 patients, signet ring cell mucinous adenocarcinoma in 1 patient, neuroendocrine tumor (NET) in 4 patients, and tubulovillous adenoma in 1 patient. Appendiceal neoplasms are generally asymptomatic; therefore, pathological examination results should be carefully evaluated after appendectomy, and it should be remembered that appendectomy is not always sufficient alone.

Background: Serological tests in asymptomatic donors provide may be a source of information on estimate of population-based infection. Serological tests using immunoglobulin G (IgG) can be a useful tool in assessing the disease’s spread if they are carried out serially in a regular manner. We analyzed the pattern in seroprevalence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) IgG in frequent intervals in an unvaccinated population.

Aims and Objectives: This study aimed to study the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 in asymptomatic blood donors in the period just before vaccine enrollment in Kerala and assess risk factors for SARS-CoV-2 positivity.

Materials and Methods: The study was a cross-sectional study in which SARS-CoV-2 IgG positivity was estimated in blood donors attending Government Medical College, Trivandrum from February 1, 2021, to March 31, 2021. The participants responded to a questionnaire also about their demographic characteristics and risk factors. Data were analyzed in SPSS version 17.

Results: The overall seroprevalence of COVID-19 anti-IgG antibody in blood donors was 26.4% (191/724). Periodic prevalence was 21.7% in the first half of February, 25.9% in the second half of February, 47.6% in the first half of March, and 25% in 2nd half of March 2021. Non-O group donors carried a higher risk for COVID seropositivity.

Conclusion: The seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 was higher among the blood donors compared to the general population who were asymptomatic but it reflected the pattern in the general population. No specific risk factor among donor characteristics was identified which can predict seropositivity.
The effects of chronic intraperitoneal monosodium glutamate in social interaction and on rotating rod in adult Swiss albino mice
Authors: M Manish , George Nirmal , P Shobha
Published: September 2023

Background: Short-term use of monosodium glutamate (MSG) induces anxiety in animals. Due to the lack of stringent regulations for food supplements and increase in the use of MSG in the past decade, the long-term effects of MSG need to be evaluated. There is a scarcity of the literature on the chronic effects of MSG on anxiety, hence the present study. Since anxiety models require an intact motor function, motor function was also evaluated.

Aims and Objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate the long-term effects of intraperitoneal (i.p.) MSG on mice models of anxiety (social interaction) and motor function (accelerating rota rod).

Materials and Methods: The present prospective interventional study was conducted on 40 adult male Swiss albino mice. Mice were randomly divided into four equal groups to receive, distilled water, and MSG at doses of 40, 60, and 80 mg/kg/day for 3 months. Parameters were assessed at baseline, 1 month, 2 months, and 3 months of daily MSG administration. Statistical tests of significance were the Wilcoxon signed-rank test and Friedman test (within group) and Kruskal–Wallis Test (between groups), P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results: Social interaction time was reduced in all the MSG-treated groups (P < 0.05) without any change in motor function (P > 0.05). Anxiety was evident from 40 mg/kg/day MSG from the 1st month till 3 months compared to baseline and controls. Duration-dependent change in social interaction was observed with MSG at doses of 40 mg/kg/day and 60 mg/kg/day. Dose-dependent change in social interaction was not observed among treatment groups.

Conclusion: Long-term administration of MSG produced anxiogenic effects at doses of 40 mg/kg, 60 mg/kg, and 80 mg/kg without impairing the motor functions in the mice.

Published: September 2023

Background:
A cataract is one of the underlying causes blindness in animals. Phacoemulsification is the standard procedure in cataract surgery for humans and animals. This procedure has been used to restore vision in cataracts in a variety of animals. However, this technique is difficult in very small animals, such as rodents, due to their small eyes.
Case Description:
A 4-year-old male domestic chinchilla was presented with cloudiness in the lenses for 1 month. The ophthalmic examination revealed cataracts OU (oculus uterque: both eyes). Positive dazzle reflex OS (oculus sinister; left eye) and negative reflex OD (oculus dexter; right eye) were noted. The electroretinography was low amplitude OS whereas a flat wave form presented OD. In this case, cataract surgery was performed using phacoemulsification without intraocular lenses implantation OS. Postoperative, the chinchilla was alert and could jump on and jump off the ledge in a house. When the veterinarian approached closely to OS, the chinchilla displayed erect body posture and open eyes, whereas the chinchilla was ignored when the veterinarian doing the same OD. The chinchilla was alert and had improved vision observe by this chinchilla can jump on and jump off the ledge in his house throughout the follow-up period 18 months later.
Conclusion:
In this chinchilla, phacoemulsification was successfully performed and resulted in better overall vision. The chinchilla was alert and could jump on and jump off the ledge in a house after cataract surgery throughout the follow-up period of 18 months.
Intraoperative management of axial posterior capsular opacities during cataract surgery in six dogs
Authors: Goulle Fr
Published: September 2023

Background:
Posterior capsular opacification (PCO) is a cause of decreased vision after canine cataract surgery. PCO can appear in the months following surgery but can also be present at the time of surgery.
Aims:
To describe the intraoperative management of marked axial PCO during canine cataract surgery through a retrospective case series study of six cases.
Methods:
Six dogs (six eyes) with cataract were included in this study. A complete ophthalmologic examination including electroretinography and ocular ultrasound was performed. After conventional phacoemulsification, a marked PCO obstructing the visual axis was found in five cases, previously diagnosed by ultrasound in the sixth. An axial posterior capsulorhexis (APC) was performed in all cases, before or after implantation of the intraocular lens (IOL). For the four cases implanted before APC, the posterior capsule (PC) was visualized either by positioning the IOL laterally in the bag with viscoelastic or through the optic of the implant. After perforation of the PC with a 30-Gauge needle, APC was initiated with Vannas curved scissors, then finalized with Utrata forceps to obtain a circular axial opening (3-mm diameter). In each case, a moderate anterior vitrectomy was performed through the APC (under the IOL when initially placed), then the IOL centered and the viscoelastic removed.
Results:
Six dogs (Beagle, German Shepherd, Cavalier King Carles, French pointing dog, American bully, Beagle Harrier) aged 11 to 94 months (mean 51.8) were included. The mean follow-up period was 15.5 months (range 10-22). Visual function with capsular axial transparency and well-centered IOL, without complications during the follow-up period, was preserved for each eye.
Conclusion:
Axial posterior capsulorhexis combined with moderate anterior vitrectomy appears to be effective in the treatment of marked axial PCO obstructing the visual axis during canine cataract surgery.
Protective potential of fish oil supplementation against insulin resistance and pancreatic islet damage in STZ-induced Wistar rats

Published: September 2023

Background:
Fish oil, which is regarded as the primary source of omega-3 fatty acids, has been long studied for its potential as an antidiabetic therapy. However, its protective ability against insulin resistance and pancreatic islet alteration remains unclear and controversial.
Aim:
To investigate the beneficial effects of fish oil consumption on the progression of insulin resistance and pancreatic islet dysfunction in a rat model of diabetes.
Methods:
Diabetic rats model (n=30) were divided into 5 groups and received; 1) NS injection+NS oral (NC); 2) NS injection+3g/kg fish oil (FC); 3) STZ injection+NS oral (DC); 4) STZ injection+1g/kg fish oil (DFO1) and 5) STZ injection+3g/kg fish oil (DFO3). Fasting blood insulin was analyzed by commercial rat insulin ELISA assay; meanwhile, the determination of insulin sensitivity was calculated by HOMA-IR and HOMA-B. A histological study was conducted on pancreas tissue using H & E staining.
Results:
Fish oil supplementation reduced hyperglycemia and ameliorated HOMA IR in STZ-induced animal models indicating that fish oil supplementation improved insulin sensitivity. Furthermore, animals treated with fish oil at a dose of 3g/kg (DFO3) showed an enhancement in pancreatic islets, which was displayed by less abnormal structures than diabetic control animals (DC). This could imply that the administration of fish oil, especially rich in bioactive omega-3 fatty acids effectively inhibits insulin resistance and restore islet of Langerhans alteration in rats injected with STZ.
Conclusion:
Thus, the current study suggested that fish oil supplementation could support the treatment of diabetes but should not be considered as an alternative therapy.
