Impact of an acceleration of ice sheet melting on monsoon systems
Authors: Chemison Alizée , Defrance Dimitri , Ramstein Gilles , Caminade Cyril
Published: August 2022

Abstract. The study of past climates has demonstrated the occurrence of Heinrich events during which major ice discharges occurred at the polar ice sheet, leading to significant additional sea level rise. Heinrich events strongly influenced the oceanic circulation and global climate. However, standard climate change scenarios (Representative Concentration Pathways or RCPs) do not consider such potential rapid ice sheet collapse; RCPs only consider the dynamic evolution of greenhouse gas emissions. We carried out water-hosing simulations using the Institute Pierre Simon Laplace global Climate Model (IPSL-CM5A) to simulate a rapid melting of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets, equivalent to +1 and +3 m additional sea level rise (SLR). Freshwater inputs were added to the standard RCP8.5 emission scenario over the 21st century. The contribution to the SLR from Greenland or from Antarctic ice sheets has differentiated impacts. The freshwater input in the Antarctic is diluted by the circumpolar current, and its global impact is moderate. Conversely, a rapid melting of the ice sheet in the North Atlantic slows down the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. This slowdown leads to changes in winds, inter-hemispheric temperature and pressure gradients, resulting in a southward shift of the tropical rain belt over the Atlantic and eastern Pacific region. The American and African monsoons are strongly affected and shift to the south. Changes in the North American monsoon occur later, while changes in the South American monsoon start earlier. The North African monsoon is drier during boreal summer, while the southern African monsoon intensifies during austral summer. Simulated changes were not significant for the Asian and Australian monsoons.
Improving understanding of groundwater flow in an alpine karst system by reconstructing its geologic history using conduit network model ensembles

Published: August 2022

Abstract. Reconstructing the geologic history of a karst area can advance understanding of the system’s present-day hydrogeologic functioning, and help predict the location of unexplored conduits. This study tests competing hypotheses describing past conditions controlling cave formation in an alpine karst catchment, by comparing an ensemble of modelled networks to the observed network map. The catchment, the Gottesacker karst system (Germany/Austria), is drained by three major springs and a paleo-spring, and includes the partially explored Hölloch cave, which consists of an active section whose formation is well-understood, and an inactive section whose formation is the subject of debate. Two hypotheses for the formation of the inactive section are: 1) glaciation obscured the three present-day springs, leaving only the paleo-spring, or 2) the lowest of the three major springs (Sägebach) is comparatively young, so its subcatchment previously drained to the paleo-spring. These hypotheses were tested using the pyKasso Python library (built on anisotropic fast marching methods) to generate two ensembles of networks, one representing each scenario. Each ensemble was then compared to the known cave map. The simulated networks generated under Hypothesis 2 match the observed cave map more closely than those generated under Hypothesis 1. This supports the conclusion that the Sägebach spring is young, and suggests that the cave likely continues southwards. Finally, this study extends the applicability of model ensemble methods from situations where the geologic setting is known but the network is unknown, to situations where the network is known but the geologic evolution is not.

Alfred W. Bennett and the Photographic Gift Book
Authors: Joseph Steven F.
Published: August 2022

Alfred W. Bennett (1833-1902), better known to posterity as a botanist, was active as a publisher in London in the eighteen-sixties. Almost uniquely amongst his contemporaries, Bennett specialized in books illustrated with mounted photographic prints for the middle-class market. Every year, new ‘photographic gift books’ would be released to coincide with the Christmas season of giving. Subject matter was mainly topographical or literary. Text and images were associated creatively; design, typography and photographic printing were of the highest quality.

While Bennett’s career in photographically illustrated books was brief, starting in 1861 and ending in 1868, he made a distinctive contribution to the creation and development of the genre in Britain. The article evaluates Bennett’s career and impact, covering the following topics: the Quaker context that influenced Bennett’s activity as a publisher and photograph dealer; Bennett’s invention of the photographic gift book as a genre; synergy with Lovell Reeve, another pioneering photographic book publisher; the crucial importance of literary tourism for Bennett’s output; assimilation of the concept of the Picturesque within photographic illustration; the extension of subject matter to Continental Europe; and the decline of the photographically illustrated book business in the hands of Bennett’s successor Abraham Provost.

Management of root-knot nematodes, Meloidogyne incognita in Okra using wheat flour as bionematocides
Authors: Kundu Kabita
Published: August 2022

The current study aims to determine how well root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne sp.) are reduced when wheat flour is used as bio-nematicides to increase agricultural productivity. Root-knot nematodes inflict a significant amount of annual loss by parasitizing plant species, many of which are vegetable crops. They harm plants to the extent that they contribute between 10% to 40% of India's annual agricultural losses. A multi-cropping system and the advent of high-yielding crop types have increased the demand for efficient crop protection. Different strategies, including biological, physical, and cultural usage of resistant varieties, and pesticides, have been developed to control the phytophagous nematodes to deal with the situation. Organic raw materials used on the okra plants and the root-knot nematode are evaluated together with prospective bionematocides that aim to manage nematodes over the long run for a sustainable ecological system and profitable crop values. Using a greater dose of the liquid bioagent formulation significantly reduces the nematode population and increases the plant growth parameter.  Plant materials provide effective nematicides that are easily biodegradable. The present study intends to further establish the effectiveness of bio-nematicides, such as wheat flour, in treating root-knot disease.

Published: August 2022

Purpose of Review

Insomnia is a complex sleeping disorder that affects the lives of many individuals worldwide. Insomnia often occurs in the presence of coexisting comorbidities making it a complex disorder that requires a multifactorial approach to therapy. First-line therapy is cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I). Pharmacotherapy for insomnia falls into four classes based on mechanism of action: benzodiazepine receptor agonists (BZRAs), histamine receptor antagonists, melatonin receptor agonists, and dual orexin receptor antagonists (DORAs).

Recent Findings

Daridorexant is a dual orexin type 1 and types 2 (OX1 and OX2) receptor antagonist that was recently approved by the US FDA for the treatment of adults suffering from insomnia. It was shown to be effective in reducing insomnia symptoms, increasing daytime functioning, and improving the overall quality of sleep. Daridorexant offers patients relief from insomnia while avoiding the severe side effects and dependency issues of traditional treatments like benzodiazepines and sedatives.

In this article, we review the most recent data on insomnia treatments and summarize the safety and efficacy of daridorexant in treating insomnia.

Published: August 2022

Spondylolysis is a bony defect of the pars interarticularis and most often results from repetitive stress. Although spondylolysis is usually asymptomatic, symptomatic spondylolysis is the most common cause of identifiable back pain in children and adolescent athletes. A thorough history and physical exam, as well as appropriate imaging studies are helpful in diagnosis. General first-ine therapy for spondylolysis is conservative and consists of rest from sports, core strengthening, as well as spinal bracing. Patients who have failed conservative therapy may consider surgical repair. This article aims to review the epidemiology, pathophysiology, presentation, and treatment options of spondylolysis.

Authors: SAEED Karzan , KAHRAMAN Tahir
Published: August 2022

Objective: Diabetes is one of the biggest problems in the field of public health in the world. Vaccinium myrtillus L. extract, among the medicinal plants, has powerful antioxidant activity. For this aim, the possible effects of Vacillus myrtillus extract on serum paraoxonase (PON1), pancreatic enzyme levels, and lipid levels in experimental diabetic rats were investigated.

Material and Method: A total of 32 male rats (Wistar albino) were used in this study and divided into four groups. Control (C), diabetic (D), Vaccinium myrtillus (VM), diabetes plus Vaccinium myrtillus (DVM) groups. In D and DVM groups, experimental diabetes was induced using a single dose of intraperitoneal 45 mg/kg streptozotocin. Vaccinium myrtillus extract was administered as 1.2 mg/kg/21 days by oral gavage in VM and DVM groups. At the end of the study; serum HbA1c, lipid parameters, amylase, lipase, and paraoxonase (PON1) enzymes were analyzed.

Results: HbA1c was significantly reduced in diabetic groups treated with VM (VM and DVM). Cholesterol, LDL-C, and VLDL-C levels were significantly reduced after VM was administered to diabetic subjects, while other lipids were found to decrease insignificantly. Vaccinium myrtillus extract caused a slight decrease in pancreatic enzymes and a statistically significant increase in paraoxonase enzyme in the DVM group compared to group D.

Conclusion: The obtained data support that Vaccinium myrtillus extract may play a potential protective role in preventing diabetes-associated complications.

The Nexus of Contracts Revisited: Delineating the Business, the Firm, and the Legal Entity
Authors: Hardman Jonathan
Published: August 2022

This article explores the economic concept of the ‘firm’ and the legal concept of the ‘company’. Having identified that the two do not entirely overlap, it detects an ambiguity in existing legal literature, and argues that the former is a better fit for corporate law’s ‘nexus for contracts’. It introduces the ‘business’ to describe all constituencies in the nexus of contracts not represented by the company. Reconceptualising base concepts in such a manner helps us reimagine existing argumentation structures – rather than arguing that non-shareholders should have rights in respect of the operation of the company, instead we can argue for limitations in respect of what the company can do in respect of the business. Three implications arise from this analysis. First, company law collectivises the power of certain constituencies only, and there is conceptual space to collectivise the power of the others. Second, this demonstrates differences in proximity – shareholders and directors should only interact through the company, and other constituencies have less of a claim to a say in the company’s running. Third, we can use this conceptualisation to argue that the company is holding assets as trustee for the wider firm rather than in its own right.
Course and structure of corneal nerve fibers in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma
Authors: Surnina Z. V. , Karpilova M. A.
Published: August 2022

PURPOSE. T o analyze the course and structure of corneal nerve fibers (CNF) in patients with different stages of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), and to determine possible correlations with the available diagnostic indicators of glaucoma progression.   METHODS.  The study included 48 patients (48 eyes) diagnosed with stages I–IV POAG at the age of 33 to 75 years. In addition to standard examination methods, all patients underwent static perimetry with Humphrey Field Analyzer II, optical coherence tomography (OCT) of the optic disc, measurement of biomechanical properties of the fibrous membrane of the eye, as well as laser confocal microscopy of the cornea on HRT III device with corneal adapter Cornea Rostock.   RESULTS. There were positive correlations of medium strength between the indices of basic nerve fiber length (r = 0.64 and r = 0.63; p < 0.05) and density (r = 0.6 and r = 0.65; p < 0.05) with perimetry data (MD and PSD) and retinal nerve fiber thickness measured with OCT of the optic disc (r = 0.65 and r = 0.61; p < 0.05). Nerve fiber anisometry and symmetry coefficients depended on glaucoma stage (r = 0.62 and r = 0.65; p < 0.05). An increase in the number and density of Langerhans cells and an increase in the length of their processes were detected. A reliable correlation (r = 0.63) was found between glaucoma stage and corneal inflammatory response. The immune etiology of the glaucoma process considered by several authors may be a reason of an increase in the number and density of macrophages during the progression of POAG.   CONCLUSION. Laser confocal microscopy can be used as an additional diagnostic method for patients with different stages of POAG.

Primary intrathyroidal paraganglioma: A case report of immunohistochemistry findings and a recommendation for surgical resection
Authors: Izwan Sara , Lam Alfred , Manley Russell
Published: August 2022

Introduction: Thyroid paragangliomas are very rare tumors. Awareness of its presentation is important to differentiate it from other common thyroid neoplasms. We present a care report of a primary intrathyroidal paraganglioma and its histopathologic findings.

Case Report: A 58-year-old asymptomatic female was referred to the General Surgery clinic following an incidental finding of thyroid nodules on imaging. She had no significant personal or family history of thyroid disease. Routine blood and thyroid function studies were within normal limits. Neck ultrasound demonstrated a multinodular goiter with a hypoechoic nodule in the right superior thyroid. Fine needle aspirate (FNA) showed atypia of unknown significance (Bethesda 3). She underwent a right hemithyroidectomy which confirmed on pathological examination to be a 19 mm intrathyroidal paraganglioma, which was positive for neuroendocrine markers and negative for calcitonin and cytokeratin. Serum metanephrine studies returned within normal limits.

Conclusion: Given the difference in management of paragangliomas compared to its cytology mimics and association with familial cancer syndromes, awareness of this rare tumor, and use of immunohistochemical stains are critical in arriving at the diagnosis, which has implications for clinical management and surveillance of these patients.

Authors: Omar Hana Ramadan , Abed Neveen Tawfik , El-Falah Asmaa Adel , Elsayes Mostafa Ebrahim
Published: August 2022

Background: The incidence of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is inversely related to gestational age. Cardiac troponin T (cTnT) is a specific marker for myocardial ischemic injury. The aim of this work was to investigate if a hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus leads to elevated   high- sensitivity troponin T (hsTnT) levels in serum. Methods: This prospective observational research included 60 preterm infants <34 weeks’ gestation, weighing <1500 g with PDA. Patients were classified into two groups according to the ECHO findings: Group A: preterm infants who had hs.PDA (PDA >1.5 mm and LA: Ao >1.2 and group B: preterm infants without hs.PDA. All cases were subjected to clinical examination, echocardiogram and hsTnT assay. Results: Serum hsTnT levels was significantly elevated in patients with hs PDA compared to patients without hs PDA. High sensitive T-troponin can significantly detect hsPDA with AUC of 0.986, P value <0.001. At cut off >100 pg/ml, it’s a significant detector with sensitivity of 93.33%, specificity of 90%, PPV of 90.3, NPV of 93.1 and diagnostic accuracy of 91.5%. PDA had a significant positive correlation with hsTnT (r=0.803, P<0.001). Conclusions: HsTnT can significantly detect hemodynamically  significant PDA in preterm infants with high sensitivity and specificity.

Published: August 2022

Respiratory viral infections accounts for more than 4.25 million fatalities each year, making them the third most common cause of death worldwide. Although the majority of acute respiratory infections are assumed to be caused by viruses, the exact cause is often unknown. Comprehensive mapping of viral genomic sequencing is done, which also shows a significant degree of viral heterogeneity that contributes to the early diagnosis of respiratory illness. The development of next-generation sequencing (NGS), particularly for the detection of unidentified respiratory viruses, has revolutionized the field of novel viral genome detection.This review focusses on different models of sequencing techniques available for novel viral genome detection. Although there are still major technical and ethical issues in using this technologies for clinical detection, this technology has great promise for the future as a way to better understand respiratory viruses and make diagnoses that are more precise.
Association of adiponectin gene polymorphism and cytokines levels in obese patients with COVID-19
Authors: Abood Huda Younis , Jabir Ferdous A. , Al-Askeri Mohammed Abdulwahab Ati
Published: August 2022

Covid-19 is a genus of enveloped, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA viruses with a high degree of genetic diversity. They induce a variety of disorders affecting the respiratory, gastrointestinal, hepatic, and nervous systems in humans and animals, with different manifestation and severity. Several risk variables, including older age, male gender, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, coronary artery disease, and obesity (a higher body mass index (BMI)), are known to predict a worse course of covd-19 infection. Obesity is the result of the accumulation of an excessive amount of fat in the body and the condition arises from an imbalance between the amount of energy stored by increased food intake and the amount of energy expended as physical activity. The aims of study evaluate the effect of covid-19 on cytokines levels in obese patients. As well as, study the association of adiponectin gene polymorphism to the risk of infection with covid-19 in obese patients.

The effect of GNPs and Si-GNPs in Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and Interleukin-8 (IL-8) levels was investigated in Ehrlich tumor cells using Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) assay. The results shows the ability of GNPs and Si-GNPs to increase TNF-α and IL-8 in treated Ehrlich Ascites Carcinoma (EAC).  It was found that the most effect was in Si-GNPs group. GNPs and Si-GNPs enhance phagocytic cells for increased granzyme and perforin-mediated cancer cell death on a regular basis. Overall, the findings showed that GNPs and Si-GNPs improved phagocytic cell activation, which might be employed as a promising technique for managing cancer cells by enhancing cell death via a Granzyme-perforin dependent mechanism.

O consumo da culinária japonesa ocorre nas metrópoles brasileiras, compondo com a pluralidade gastronômica nacional e regional, um cenário instigante de pesquisa sobre os processos e as manifestações culturais no mundo contemporâneo. Nas últimas décadas, a crescente aceitação de uma dieta mais diversificada de alimentos para manter a saúde, contribuiu para um aumento sem precedentes da culinária japonesa no exterior, com o crescimento intenso do número de restaurantes japoneses nas principais cidades do mundo. Assim, o trabalho objetivou analisar a influência da cultura alimentar japonesa na alimentação da população residente na região oeste do Pará, e o perfil desses consumidores. Os dados da pesquisa foram coletados por meio de questionário online, onde foram feitas nove perguntas com respostas estruturadas, sobre o perfil dos participantes e a influência da cultura alimentar japonesa nos hábitos alimentares desses consumidores. Os resultados foram analisados no programa Microsoft Excel®, do pacote Microsoft Office®, para estatística descritiva dos dados, em porcentagem. Foram registradas 475 respostas no questionário online, durante o mês de junho de 2022, por um período de 15 dias. Na região oeste do Pará, a maioria dos participantes (54,53%) são residentes do município de Santarém, do gênero feminino, com renda familiar per capita até um salário mínimo e não apresentam ascendência japonesa e/ou convivem com descendentes japoneses. A cultura alimentar japonesa influencia o hábito alimentar de parte da população, principalmente no consumo de produtos como shoyu (molho de soja), lámen (macarrão instantâneo/miojo), sushi, sashimi e yakissoba -pratos da culinária japonesa.

A carne ovina é uma matéria-prima de alto valor nutricional, baixa concentração de gordura saturada, lipídeos e teor proteico acima de 20%. Desta forma o beneficiamento desta matéria-prima pode alavancar o consumo, através da produção de um derivado como é o caso do hambúrguer, foco desta pesquisa. Este trabalho teve como objetivo elaborar hambúrgueres de carne ovina e avaliar a viabilidade da adição de inulina como substituto parcial e total de gordura na qualidade microbiológica e física do produto. Foram desenvolvidas três formulações: HOG com 10% de gordura, HOIG com 5% de gordura e 5% de inulina e HOI com 10% inulina, sem adição de gordura. As análises aplicadas foram: microbiológicas (Salmonella sp/25 g., Coliformes a 45ºC/g e Staphylococcus coagulase positiva/g) e físicas (calorimetria, rendimento na cocção, capacidade de retenção de água e porcentagem de encolhimento). Todas as amostras atenderam aos padrões microbiológicos estabelecidos pela legislação. Para Aw assumiram-se valores maiores que 0,98 para HOIG e HOI, enquanto HOG apresentou 0,966. Nas análises físicas de rendimento e porcentagem de encolhimento não houve diferença significativa (p<0,05) variando entre (61,51 e 64,17) e (14,2 e 15,43) respectivamente. HOIG e HOI apresentaram os melhores resultados para capacidade de retenção de água, com 85,21 e 89% nesta ordem, enquanto HOG obteve 79,53%. Portanto a inulina mostrou-se um potencial substituto de gordura em hambúrguer de carne ovina.
