INTRODUÇÃO: As veias anastomóticas superior (de Trolard) e inferior (de Labbé), responsáveis por comunicar a veia cerebral média aos seios sagital superior e transverso, respectivamente, tornam-se importantes na área da neurocirurgia, uma vez que são veias de alto risco para lesões nos procedimentos cirúrgicos por serem localizadas em topografias de acesso constante. Na literatura, são mostradas as consequências do acometimento dessas veias durante procedimentos cirúrgicos, o que inclui edema cerebral, infarto venoso e hemorragia, dentre outras intercorrências. OBJETIVO: Investigar o padrão de distribuição das veias anastomóticas de Labbé e Trolard em função da lateralidade e do sexo em exames de arteriografia cerebral. MÉTODOS: Este projeto foi desenvolvido na Faculdade de Medicina de Olinda. Trata-se de um estudo do tipo transversal, observacional e retrospectivo. Foram analisados 20 exames de angiografia como quantitativo inicial, tornando este trabalho um estudo piloto para análises com amostras mais significativas posteriormente. Foram incluídos exames de arteriografias com avaliação da drenagem venosa do cérebro e excluídos os exames de arteriografia cerebral que não possuam as três incidências utilizadas no exame. Para análise dos dados, foram utilizadas estatística descritiva, de acordo com cada objetivo proposto. RESULTADOS: A veia anastomótica de Labbé foi mais prevalente à direita no sexo feminino, enquanto à esquerda foi mais prevalente no sexo masculino. Já a veia anastomótica de Trolard foi mais prevalente à direita no sexo masculino, enquanto à esquerda foi mais prevalente no sexo feminino. CONCLUSÃO: O presente estudo descreveu o padrão de distribuição das veias anastomóticas de Labbé e Trolard em função da lateralidade e sexo relacionando os achados com potenciais complicações secundárias à lesão venosa iatrogênica, demonstrando a importância do conhecimento da anatomia destas estruturas vasculares e suas implicações cirúrgicas.

Published: December 2022

To investigate the effect of furosemide on Staphylococcus aureus α-hemolysin (α-HL) channel in planar lipid bilayers by electrophysiological characterization and molecular docking studies. Planar lipid bilayer membranes were prepared and α-HL (0.07 mg/mL) was added to the standard solution in cis compartment of the experimental chamber. All experiments were performed at room temperature using an Axopatch 200A amplifier in the voltage clamp mode. At pH 7.5, α-HL channels were usually in a high conductance ~4 nS and rarely switch to low conductance states. After the ion channel was incorporated in bilayer membrane, the furosemide was also added to the standard solution to the cis compartment. To docking studies, atomics coordinates for the α-HL heptameric channel was retrieved from PDB ID (7AHL) and the structure of furosemide was removed from the PubChem, their coordinates were built and minimized with Avogadro software. The molecular docking experiments were performed using the Dockthor online. The furosemide inhibited (P<0.05) conductance α-HL channel and it was a voltage-dependent manner. The two best docking solutions and the α-HL channel were evaluated, it was observed the connection mode with the highest affinity of interaction has a greater number of hydrogen bonding. The residues were 113 and 147 that form the remainders of the constriction α-HL channel. In conclusion, furosemide blocks ion currents in the constriction of channel caused by Staphylococcus aureus α-hemolysin.

Authors: Møller Anders Kalsgaard , Kaup Camilla Finsterbach , Brooks Eva , Gnaur Dorina , Schürer Maja Højslet , Lyngbye Marie Charlotte
Published: December 2022

Med udgangspunkt i det stigende behov for IT-kompetencer er de humanistiske uni­versitetsuddannelser begyndt at indføre kurser, der skal styrke de studerendes forståelse for informatik. Denne artikel undersøger, hvordan studerende på en masteruddannelse i IT på et humanistisk fakultet udvikler kompetencer i programmering og computationel tankegang. De studerende havde alle et obligatorisk kursus i Programmering og Proto­typing, og nogle af dem havde valgfag i Computational Thinking. Data består af obser­vationer fra kurserne, vurdering af de studerendes opgaver og fire fokusgruppe­interviews. (De studerende var delt i to grupper – en med Computational Thinking og den anden med kun Programmering og Prototyping.) Vi afholdt interviews før og efter kurserne for begge grupper for at afdække, hvordan elevernes synspunkter havde ændret sig. Begge grupper af studerende ser sig selv i koordinerende roller, hvor de samarbejder med programmører og andre softwareudviklere. De studerende der valgte valgfaget i Computational Thinking, viste et rigere ordforråd, når de beskrev computationel tanke­gangs begreber, praksisser og perspektiver. Evnen til at reflektere over de praktiske opgaver, herunder begreber, praksisser og perspektiver, synes essentiel for de studerendes fremtidige karriere, som humanister, der arbejder med teknologi. Resul­taterne viser, hvordan studerende kan udvikle deres forståelse af computationel tanke­gang med stilladsering mod computational empowerment. I processen så vi, hvordan studerende opnår en forståelse af computationel tankegang gennem arbejde med kon­cepter og praksisser, og hvor der opstod perspektiver ved at kombinere computationel tankegang med information og praksis fra andre discipliner.

Published: December 2022

Introduction: Lennox-Gastaut syndrome is a form of childhood epilepsy that has a dramatic negative impact on the physical and developmental health of the patient. Being an age-related disorder, it is characterized by seizures, characteristic electroencephalogram, psychomotor retardation and behavioral disturbances. It is more common in males and usually begins before the age of eight years and peaks between the ages of three and five years. Case presentation: This was a 5-year-old patient who was born prematurely product of which presented sequelae of hypoxia, who around 4 months was diagnosed with epilepsy, for which he received double antiepileptic therapy based on levetiracetam and valproic acid with partial control of his seizures until before the age of 5 years, At this time it was necessary to include a third drug to the usual therapy called clobazam, for which with the adjustment of doses until the age of 8 years he achieved a better control, however the sequelae of infantile cerebral palsy are marked.Conclusion: It is one of the most difficult syndromes to treat and is often resistant to commonly used antiepileptic drugs. The long-term prognosis is poor; although epilepsy usually improves, complete absence of seizures is rare and, instead, psychological and psychiatric disorders worsen over time

What the Literature on Medicine, Nursing, Public Health, Midwifery, and Dentistry Reveals: An Overview of the Rapidly Approaching Metaverse
Authors: DAMAR Muhammet
Published: December 2022

What is being done in the metaverse literature in a variety of health-related fields, including Medicine, Nursing, Public Health, Midwifery, and Dentistry, and what topics are explored in this literature? In this study, a content analysis of the studies linked with the term metaverse in all health-related literature is presented. The studies were carried out on the documents accessed in Web of Science and Scopus searches made with the words "Metaverse" and "metaverse" on 06/05/2022. For 312 papers, data was retrieved from the Scopus bibliometric database, and for 240 publications, data was retrieved from the Web of Science data source. In the field of health, there haven't been many direct studies on metaverse technology. This is because metaverse technology is made up of many different technologies that work together and are always getting better. Some of these technologies are augmented reality, social networks, virtual reality, blockchain technology, artificial intelligence, and avatar. The study also tells field researchers about metaverse studies that are important in the health sector and about changes in the literature as a whole. According to the research areas, the documents found had to do with the field of health, and only the researches in the field of health were evaluated. It is interesting to think about how metaverse technology will change scientific research, health services, and health-related processes. The study looks at the current state of the literature on metaverse technology, as well as the future of the field and what it can do. Virtual reality or augmented reality applications have defined themselves as augmented reality under the metaverse. These applications are most useful in critical situations in the health sector and in processes that are hard and must be done by trial and error. In addition to the tremendous advances in technologies (blockchain, computer vision, haptic devices, sensors, computer networks) with which metaverse technology is associated in recent years, the mechanical resolution of the sense of touch in the Nobel Peace Prize in physiology and medicine received in 2021 can be seen as one of the field's critical milestones. The growth of the field and past experiences show that many real-world applications can be moved to the metaverse universe in the future. One of the fields that will be affected the most by this interaction is health care.
Environmental and chemical risk factors for breast cancer: A review of the current understanding of environmental toxic metal-induced breast malignancies, Nigeria perspective
Authors: Sonuga Oyebola , Sonuga Ayobola , Awah Elvis , Ogunsanya Temitope
Published: December 2022

Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women worldwide, with an increasing number of new cases each year. The incidence of breast cancer is sadly increasing at the same time as environmental toxicants, particularly in Africa nations like Nigeria. Toxic metals are significant environmental pollutants and their toxicity results in harmful health effects. Numerous studies have described environmental exposure of humans to toxic metals in African populations, and the most commonly implicated toxic metals include arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead and nickel, all of which impact negatively on human health and the environment. Recently some of these toxic metals have been linked to the development of different types of cancers including breast cancer. Given the large burden of the morbidity and mortality associated with breast cancer, it is of the upmost importance to identify predisposing risk factors so that appropriate preventive strategies that could reduce cancer incidence can be developed and implemented. Therefore, this review aims at elucidating the role of environmental toxic metals in the development of breast cancer.

Two monstrous female health-related issues are currently engaging the attention of the global community. These are the chemical skin-lightening issue and the rising female breast cancer issue. Nigeria has the highest prevalence of chemical skin lightening practice with 77.3% of traders in Lagos using such products and one of the highest incidences of breast cancer globally of 50.5 per 100,000 women. 1,4-Dioxane, a possible contaminant in toiletries and cosmetics, is an IARC group 2B carcinogen and a potential breast carcinogen. It is generated when ethylene oxide -a known breast carcinogen is added to other chemicals during manufacturing. The skin lightening procedure is most conducive for optimal per-cutaneous absorption and inhalation of Dioxane. The research question entertained was if there is a link in the increasing prevalence of skin lightening practice and the rising breast cancer burden in Nigeria. One hundred skin lightening products procured from across Lagos, Nigeria had their listed contents scrutinized and entered onto a spreadsheet, then they were analyzed for Dioxane using Scalia’s Solid Phase Extraction gas chromatography procedure. Water (Aqua) 66%, Glycerin 60% and Tocopherol or Vitamin E 41% were found to be the most listed ingredients on the package labels, with Vitamin C 28%, Kojic acid 26%, Citric acid 22% and Carrot oil seen in 20% of products. All the analyzed samples were negative for Dioxane. The study brought to the fore the need to explore other potential breast carcinogens in skin lightening cosmetics and environmental chemicals.

The potential of gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) as an excitatory neurotransmitter was evaluated under various stress conditions in this study.Methods: The experiment was conducted under four different environmental conditions: normal, high temperature, overcrowded, and in an overcrowded-diurnal temperature range. The experimental groups were divided into (–) control group without stress, (+) control group with stress, and G50 group (GABA 50 mg/kg) with stress. Weight gain, feed intake, and feed conversion ratio were measured, and stress reduction was evaluated through hematologic analysis.Results: The effects of GABA on broilers in four experimental treatments were evaluated. GABA treated responded to environmental stress and improved productivity in all the experimental treatments. The magnitude of stress observed was highest at high temperature, followed by the overcrowded environment, and was least for the overcrowded-diurnal temperature range.Conclusion: Various stress factors in livestock rearing environment can reduce productivity and increase disease incidence and mortality rate. To address these challenges, GABA, an inhibitory neurotransmitter, was shown to reduce stress caused due to various environmental conditions and improve productivity.

Objective: Recently, indigenous Korean grass Sasa quelpaertensis Nakai (SQ) has garnered much interest as a roughage source for livestock to mitigate its adverse effects on habitat diversity. Thus, the objective of the present study was to evaluate the ruminal fermentation, palatability, and nutrient digestibility of SQ for Korean native beef cattle (Hanwoo) using in vitro rumen fermentation, in situ rumen degradability, and in vivo feeding trials.Methods: Using in vitro tests with rumen fluid as the inoculum for 48 h, ruminal fermentation of SQ was evaluated and compared with that of other roughage sources commonly used in Korea (i.e., rice straw, Timothy hay, and Italian ryegrass [IRG]). Additionally, an in situ trial 96 h was performed using three cannulated Hanwoo steers. Further, an in vivo trial was performed using eight Hanwoo steers to compare the palatability of SQ with rice straw in total mixed ration (TMR) and forage-concentrate separate feeding conditions. Finally, an in vivo digestibility trial of SQ fed as TMR of two particle sizes was performed with four Hanwoo steers.Results: In vitro and in situ trials revealed that SQ was comparable or superior to rice straw in terms of the ruminal fermentation characteristics of pH, gas production, total volatile fatty acid content, and effective ruminal dry matter digestibility (DMD), although its fermentability was lower than that of Timothy hay and IRG. In the palatability test, steers showed a greater preference for SQ when given as TMR. The total tract DMD of SQ fed as TMR was 75.9%±1.37%, and it did not differ by particle size.Conclusion: The feed value of SQ as a roughage source for Hanwoo steers is comparable or superior to that of rice straw, particularly when provided as TMR.

Objective: Inhibiting the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway delays differentiation and increases proliferation of muscle stem cells in most species. Here, we aimed to investigate the effect of p38 inhibitor (p38i) treatment on the proliferation and differentiation of chicken muscle stem cells.Methods: Chicken muscle stem cells were collected from the muscle tissues of Hy-line Brown chicken embryos at embryonic day 18, then isolated by the preplating method. Cells were cultured for 4 days in growth medium supplemented with dimethyl sulfoxide or 1, 10, 20 μM of p38i, then subcultured for up to 4 passages. Differentiation was induced for 3 days with differentiation medium. Each treatment was replicated 3 times.Results: The proliferation and mRNA expression of paired box 7 gene and myogenic factor 5 gene, as well as the mRNA expression of myogenic differentiation marker gene myogenin were significantly higher in p38i-treated cultures than in control (p<0.05), but immunofluorescence staining and mRNA expression of myosin heavy chain (MHC) were not significantly different between the two groups. Oil red O staining of accumulated lipid droplets in differentiated cell cultures revealed a higher lipid density in p38i-treated cultures than in control; however, the expression of the adipogenic marker gene peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma was not significantly different between the two groups.Conclusion: p38 inhibition in chicken muscle stem cells improves cell proliferation, but the effects on myogenic differentiation and lipid accumulation require additional analysis. Further studies are needed on the chicken p38-MAPK pathway to understand the muscle and fat development mechanism.

A constructive alignment is an approach to outcome-based education which involves examining curriculum, discipline, and/or course level initiatives. This research sought to assess the match among the institutional outcomes, program outcomes, performance indicators, assessment, evaluation methods, and standards (IPOPIAEMS) in 20 undergraduate curricula. The researchers mainly used qualitative research methods like document analysis, curriculum mapping, and online-focused group discussion. Findings revealed that there is a high alignment of the curricula in the University. This means that five out of six dimensions components are constructively aligned.  During the OFGD, the participants underscored the significance of using the institution's vision, mission, and goals as anchorage in crafting the institutional outcomes. Additionally, the majority of the participants highlighted that they based their performance indicators on CHED’s policies, standards, and guidelines (PSG). Regarding the participants' experiences in aligning their performance indicators and assessment methods, the programs' syllabi were valuable in determining their assessment methods for their PIs. One difficulty though was delineating between assessment and evaluation since both denote processes of learning measurement. However, while the former entails appraising a student's level of performance, the latter involves gauging the degree to which outcomes are attained based on a set of standards. In terms of the outcomes’ relevance to 21st century learning, they were found to be relevant to most of the seven cluster competencies except for computing technology which is given the least attention in higher education curricula. Since there is a high constructive curriculum alignment in the University, it is therefore concluded that the five elements of the curriculum, namely, the institutional outcomes (with the vision and mission of the HEI as an anchorage), program outcomes unique to a particular specialization, performance indicators, assessment, and standards are highly coherent except for the evaluation methods. It is recommended that evaluation method shall be continually calibrated to ensure its coherence with the other dimensions and that computing technology shall be mainstreamed in the curricula across all programs.
A Review on the Effects of Radio Refractivity and Atmospheric Parameters on Signal Quality at Ultra High Frequency (UHF)

Published: December 2022

Refractivity is an important factor in predicting the performance of radio link. The structures of the refractive index of the troposphere are responsible for many complicated mechanisms such as, multipath effects, absorption, scattering of radio signals, etc. and these mechanisms can cause a lot of propagation impairment such as, loss of signal for mobile communication, the accuracy of tracking radio source (such as stars) with radio telescopes, radar system etc. Understanding the effects of the weather on radio wave propagation will help to improve the quality of radio signals, as the Weather variables are useful ingredients in the predictions of refractivity distributions and the anomalous radio wave propagation conditions of the atmosphere. This study contends that refractivity variations significantly affects received signal strength at Ultra High Frequency (UHF) and gave a brief theoretical background on Electromagnetic wave, Atmospheric effects on radio propagation anomalous propagation condition and the mathematical expression for refractive index and refractivity of the troposphere. Also, the paper review related articles in the following area; refractive index and refractivity of the troposphere, effects of weather variables and refractivity of troposphere. The analysis of the review articles summits that, refractivity reveals seasonal variations with high value in rainy season and low values in dry season. Also observed from the review articles, is that the diurnal variations are influenced by three atmospheric parameters; water vapour has the greatest effect on refractivity variations followed by temperature and pressure. Furthermore, the Refractivity is function of local meteorological parameters. Eventually, the study suggests that, the effect of Atmospheric parameters and consequently the Radio Refractivity should be compensated for when designing wireless communication links in an environment.

Ultracapacitors has now become an integral part of the contemporary energy storage systems. Their uniqueness in optimal power delivery, charge storage capabilities and long cyclic stability (˃105) are what make them attractive to the energy storage industries. Basically, Ultracapacitor consists of two separated electrodes impregnated with an electrolyte. Its performance is largely a function of the chosen electrode-electrolyte materials. The choice of the materials depends on the prevailing conditions at hand and is always at a tradeoff between certain merits and de-merits. In this communication, we reviewed two contemporary materials namely; Transition Metal Oxides and Conducting Polymers with emphasis on the challenges associated with each. This will create an avenue in determining the direction and future perspective of Ultracpacitors materials.
