Evolution of cardiac pacemakers: a journey from Galvanic experiments to leadless pacemakers
Authors: Bakytzhanuly Abay
Published: August 2023

The development of cardiac pacemakers has a rich history spanning over two centuries, beginning with Luigi Galvani's discovery of the heart's response to electrical currents in the late 18th century. Paul Zoll's pioneering work in the 1950s introduced external pacemakers and defibrillators, followed by the first successful implantation of a fully implantable pacemaker in Sweden in 1958. Since then, pacemakers have undergone major improvements, including advancements in lead design and battery technology, as well as the development of telephony and microprocessors. Recent innovations have led to leadless pacemakers with wireless communication capabilities, transforming patient care and monitoring. This evolution has made pacemakers highly sophisticated devices that synchronize with the heart's rhythm, offering hope and improved quality of life for millions of individuals with cardiac rhythm disorders.

Shadow of the Rockies
Authors: Dunn Maria
Published: August 2023

Living in Alberta for 25 years, I have travelled in and through the stunning Canadian Rockies countless times. Only recently did I learn that some of the infrastructure that helps us enjoy the mountain parks was built by the forced labour of Ukrainian Canadian men interned during WWI. A few years earlier, Canada had actively encouraged these immigrants (often referred to as “Galicians”) as muchneeded industrial workers, particularly in railway construction. However, in the face of war with the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1914, the government decided that these “enemy aliens”, now unemployed by the pre-war recession, were a potential menace to the community and should be detained in remote camps. Food, clothing and living conditions were poor, and on top of their expected work time, the internees often had to march many hours from the camp to their place of work.

Pragmatism in Education: Philosophical Foundations and Pedagogical Practice
Authors: Maltsev Yaroslav Vladimirovich
Published: August 2023

The subject of this article is the ideas in the field of philosophy and practice of education, proposed by the founders of pragmatism: C. Pierce, W. James, J. Dewey, R. Rorty. The concepts of these authors gave rise to one of the most successful philosophies of education, which has been and is being subjected to considerable criticism, but is still in demand and demonstrating effectiveness. The article analyzes the initial axioms of the philosophy of pragmatism and the principles on which, according to the philosophers-authors, this educational model should work. The modern criticism of pragmatism in English-language literature is also touched upon. Attention to the philosophy of pragmatism in education seems justified due to the search for a better educational model that is taking place in Russia today. The scientific novelty of the article lies in the analysis of the key philosophical principles of the educational model of pragmatism along with practical recommendations, as well as in the attention paid to Ch. Pierce and the place, significance, of his ideas in the educational model of pragmatism. Traditionally Ch. Pierce is taken out of the brackets when writing about pragmatism in education. Much more attention is paid to the ideas of W. James, J. Dewey, R. Rorty, while Peirce's prolegomena seem fundamentally significant in understanding pragmatism as a philosophy of education. The author discusses the current controversy around the relevance of pragmatism as a philosophy of education, about its strengths and weaknesses. It is concluded that pragmatism as a philosophy of education carries useful principles associated with consensual practices, critical thinking, dialogue, increased attention to experience and an active cognitive position, and therefore can be used as a counterweight to destructive (commercialization, deprofessionalization) trends in education.

T1 contrast versus fluid-attenuated inversion recovery contrast technique for evaluation of cerebral tuberculosis
Authors: Ramalingam Balavaitheeswar , Padmanaban Elamparidhi , Raj Joe Vimal , Sambath Pugazhendhi , Varadane Avinesh
Published: August 2023

Objectives:

T2-weighted (T2W) fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR), a traditional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique, is regarded as one of the most effective methods for examining brain disorders. The identification of brain pathologies can be significantly aided by T2 FLAIR and T1 post-contrast imaging. However, lesion enhancement is occasionally inconspicuous on T1-weighted image. Hence, for the evaluation of brain disorders, a MRI approach known as FLAIR contrast would combine the benefits of T2W FLAIR with contrast-enhancement on a single picture.

Material and Methods:

After obtaining clearance from the Institution’s Ethics Committee, contrast-enhanced MRI (CE-MRI) brain of 20 patients was taken for the study. CE-MRI was performed using 1.5 Tesla Intera PHILIPS with intravenous administration of gadolinium at approximately 0.1 mL/kg/body at a rate of 10 mL/15 s.

Results:

This study showed a better appreciation of lesion conspicuity when compared to prior T1 contrast images. However, there was no significant difference in the number of lesions, lesion extension, and degree of contrast-enhancement on comparison with T1 contrast images.

Conclusion:

T1 FLAIR contrast shows a better appreciation of lesion conspicuity when compared to T1 contrast images. Post-contrast FLAIR imaging is a valuable adjunct to post-contrast T1W imaging and effectively delineates cerebral tubercular pathologies.

Authors: Irmawati Anis , Devitha Maria , Balqis Noor Faizah , Azzaim Yassir Ahmad , Al-Mekhlafi Raed
Published: August 2023

Background:

Anterior open bite is a complex case of malocclusion that needs complex treatment. This malocclusion has a tendency to relapse, so the difficulty level of treatment is high. Clenching exercise began to be applied as an additional myofunctional therapy that can help correct anterior open bite and stabilize treatment results.

Purpose:

This narrative review aims to explain clenching exercise as an additional orthodontic treatment in anterior open bite patients.

Review(s):

The most essential step in open bite treatment is the retention period because the tendency for relapse is strong and difficult to predict. Surgical treatment can be used to achieve an anterior open bite, but this treatment does not guarantee the stability of the treatment outcome. To achieve retention in anterior open bite correction, it is essential to improve muscle function after treatment.

Conclusion:

Clenching exercise can be an additional therapy in anterior open bite patients to shorten the treatment duration and maintain the stability of the treatment outcome.
The effect of paracetamol on the parasitological diagnosis of Plasmodium falciparum malaria
Authors: Magzob Mohamed , Sammani Ashraf Al , Siddiq Ahmed Al
Published: August 2023

Objectives:

Up until the present time, malaria represents an immense public health problem worldwide with a significant morbidity and mortality rate in many developing countries including Sudan. The use of antipyretics and analgesics in the settings of malaria has been a matter of contention over a vast period of time. Now, it is widely believed among the public and some health professionals in Sudan that the antipyretic and analgesic paracetamol disturbs the accuracy of the parasitological diagnosis of malaria. This study investigates the magnitude and effects of that belief through a descriptive study and examines the actual effect of paracetamol on the parasitological diagnosis of falciparum malaria through a clinical trial.

Material and Methods:

This is a conjoined study that includes a prospective and descriptive study and a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, and parallel-group clinical trial. The descriptive study included 846 participants from various states in Sudan. The targeted study subjects were the public and health professionals and the study was conducted utilizing an online-based questionnaire. The clinical trial included 325 patients with uncomplicated falciparum attending two primary healthcare outpatient clinics in Gezira state, Sudan. The patients were randomly allocated to receive either placebo tablets or 500 mg of oral paracetamol after the first blood smear sample was taken. The second blood smear samples were taken 2 h after taking treatment. Parasite density estimation and other parasitological data were obtained from each sample before and after treatment.

Results:

The majority of the public thinks that paracetamol affects the parasitological diagnosis of malaria (76.21%, n = 330/433). Personal experience and family and friends were the most dominant information sources for the public (31.20% and 28.01% respectively), while scholarly articles were the most common source of information for the health professional group (45.03%, n = 186/413). No significant differences between the parasitological findings acquired before and after taking the treatments among both the paracetamol group (P = 0.22) and the placebo group (P = 0.12). The parasite density mean for the paracetamol group differed by 16.31 P/μL after taking paracetamol, while the placebo group parasite density mean differed by 15.34 P/μL. The treatments did not inflict impacts on the advanced microscopic features of Plasmodium falciparum blood smears.

Conclusion:

Paracetamol does not affect the parasitological diagnosis of falciparum malaria.

The decline in oil production has led to the development of the Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) technology to increase oil production. Chemical injection is one of the methods in EOR by injecting surfactants or polymers into reservoir wells. To understand the properties and dynamics of surfactants and polymers at the nanoscale, computational studies using molecular dynamics simulation were carried out. In this study, surfactant Sodium Dodecyl Benzene Sulfonate (SDBS) and polymers such as Polyacrylamide (PAM) were used to investigate their effect on the oil-water interface system at the atomic level. Molecular dynamics simulation was carried out using Large-scale Atomic/Molecular Massively Parallel Simulator (LAMMPS) to calculate the diffusion coefficient and Interface Formation Energy (IFE) value for the addition of the surfactant and polymers. The simulation results show that the addition of the surfactant and polymers affects the water-oil interface system differently. The diffusion coefficient results indicates that there are strong interactions between SDBS and dodecane with D of 0.01358. While for PAM, the interactions with water are more significant with D of 0.059. The results of the IFE calculation value also show that the addition of SDBS and PAM makes the water-oil interface system more stable with the negative IFE value of -197.51 and -13.13 Kcal/mol respectively. The results of this study will be used as a reference and a basis for designing new surfactants or polymers that will led to more oil recovery.

Published: August 2023

Anion exchange membrane fuel cells (AEMFCs) are considered one of the most promising and efficient hydrogen conversion technologies due to their ability to use cost-effective materials. However, AEMFCs are still in the early stage of development and the lack of suitable anion exchange membranes (AEMs) is one major obstacle. In this review, we highlight three major challenges in AEMs development and discuss recent scientific advancements that address these challenges. We identify current trends and provide a perspective on future development of AEMs.

Authors: Rubailo Anna , Wittmann Valentin , Drescher Malte
Published: August 2023

Post-translational modifications are involved in many cellular processes. The addition of O-linked β-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) is a ubiquitous post-translational modification essential for regulatory processes in mammalian cells. Here, we demonstrate specific spin labelling of post-translational modifications, namely glycosylation modifications, via metabolic glycoengineering and subsequent copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition. Electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy and subsequent quantitative spectral simulations allow for detection of the labelled post-translational modifications and for monitoring the levels of O-GlcNAcylation in presence of different inhibitors relevant for metabolic glycoengineering.
Scope and computational insights into enantioselective C–H amination through silver-catalyzed nitrene transfer

Published: August 2023

Chiral, non-racemic amines and amino alcohols are prevalent in drugs, bioactive natural products and ligands for transi-tion metal catalysis. Asymmetric nitrene transfer is an efficient and powerful strategy to prepare enantioenriched amines from abundant C–H bonds; however, there is a continued need for general and inexpensive transition metal catalysts sup-ported by easily tunable ligands. Herein, we report silver salts ligated to an unusual bis(oxazoline) (BOX) ligand, readily accessible through a modular synthetic approach, catalyze site- and enantioselective nitrene transfers into benzylic, al-lylic and unactivated C–H bonds of carbamate esters. The resulting 1,3-aminoalcohol building blocks are delivered in good yields and moderate-to-excellent enantioselectivities up to 99%. Computational models were employed to rational-ize the observed stereochemical outcomes and set the stage for the predictive design of second-generation silver cata-lysts. These in-depth computational investigations implicate a complex combination of features in promoting enantiose-lectivity, including substrate distortion from a square-planar geometry at silver and stabilizing C–H/π interactions be-tween ligand and substrate. Careful analyses of the enantiodetermining transition states employing diverse substrates revealed the dominant factors controlling selectivity for each substrate class, thus enabling the rational design of ligand and catalyst combinations that furnish a broader scope of chemo-, site- and enantioselective C–H bond aminations.

Authors: Nakauchi Hiroya , Tagawa Satomi , Amano Yoshihiko
Published: August 2023

In this study, we developed a new method to extract mycelial fibers from the fruiting bodies of mushrooms without destroying their structure. After chemical treatment with NaOH and H2O2, the fruiting bodies were decolorized via an environmentally friendly method using sunlight irradiation. The visible light reflectance of decolorized fruiting bodies was more than 80%. Ultrasonic treatment was used to defibrillate the fruiting bodies at the mycelial level, and a white micrometer-sized dispersion of mycelial fibers (mycelium pulp) was obtained. The mycelium retained its structure, demonstrating a thick linear mycelium pulp (width: 8.0 ± 3.4 μm) in Flammulina velutipes and a thin branched mycelium pulp (width: 2.3 ± 0.6 μm) in Ganoderma lucidum. The mycelium pulp is a completely new material that maintains its mycelial structure, unlike previously reported materials derived from fruiting bodies. The mycelium pulp demonstrates excellent deformability and can be used to create one- to three-dimensional deformable products, showing a wide range of material applicability.
A Crossover between Conventional Cross-Coupling and Carbene Insertion Reaction Pathways in a Pd Catalyzed C(sp2)-H Insertion
Authors: Tyagi Arushi , Goswami Anubhav , Jindal Garima
Published: August 2023

Computational methods (Density Functional Theory) along with experimental tools are used to probe the mechanism and stereocontrol in a Pd(II)-catalyzed enantioselective C–H insertion reaction. The mechanistic aspects reveal a crossover between general transition metal-catalyzed carbene insertion reactions and typical Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. We demonstrate the intermediacy of a metal hydride species which contrasts the previously studied mechanistic routes taken in the case of all other transition metals (Rh, Fe, Au, Cu, etc.). Detailed investigation into the origin of stereoselectivity again throws up a new paradigm wherein stereocontrol arises during the formation of the metallocarbene itself. Novel mechanistic routes illustrated in this report provide crucial insights into the differential reactivity exhibited by Pd in carbene insertion reactions.
