Synthetic Pyrethroid Insecticides, Resmethrin and Permethrin, for Tropical Foliage Plant Protection1
Authors: Hamlen R. A. , Henley R. W.
Published: September 2022

Applications of resmethrin at 0.6 g/liter and permethrin at 0.3 g/liter concentrations did not satisfactorily control green peach aphid, Myzus persicae (Sulzer). One application of permethrin at 0.15 g/liter controlled thrips, Echinothrips americanus Morgan, but repeated applications of resmethrin were necessary. Only Brassaia actinophylla Endl. showed significant phytotoxicity to resmethrin, but permethrin caused excessive injury to B. actinophylla, Epipremnum aureum (Linden & Andre) Bunt., Maranta leuconeura E. Morr. and Nephrolepis exaltata (L.) Schott.
Ammonium Nitrogen Accumulation and Leaching from an All Pine Bark Medium1
Authors: Thomas Steve , Perry Fred B.
Published: September 2022

When a 200 ppm N solution as (NH4)2SO4 was percolated through a wet pine bark medium, 6 times the medium volume of the N solution was required to reach an equilibrium of N in the bark. Once equilibrium was reached, the water added, leaching of the ammonium ion was rapid. When twice the medium volume of water was passed through the medium, 85% of the ammonium ions were leached. After analysis of the leachate indicated no N being leached from the bark, 60 ppm of N remained in the bark.

Seasonal Changes in Zinc and Water-soluble Phenolics in the Outer Trunk Wood of Healthy and Blight-affected Sweet Orange Trees
Authors: Wutscher Heinz K.
Published: September 2022

Healthy ‘Valencia’ and blight-affected ‘Pineapple’ orange [Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck] trees, both on rough lemon [C. limon (L.) Burnì, f.] rootstock, had a seasonal pattern of higher Zn in the outer 2.5 cm of the trunk wood in the winter and lower Zn in the summer. The 5-year means for the ‘Valencia’ trees were 5 ppm Zn in February and 3 ppm Zn in July; the blighted ‘Pineapple’ trees contained 21 and 16 ppm Zn (2-year means), respectively. There was no clear seasonal pattern for water-soluble phenolics.
Free Proline in Peel of Grapefruit and Resistance to Chilling Injury during Cold Storage1
Authors: Purvis A. C.
Published: September 2022

Peel samples of ‘Marsh’ grapefruit (Citrus paradisi Macf.) from 2 separate chilling injury (CI) experiments conducted during the 1979–80 season were analyzed for proline. Proline levels were highest in the peel of grapefruit after the seasonal night temperatures reached their minimum and levels declined after night temperatures increased in the spring. The greatest resistance of grapefruit peel to CI during postharvest cold storage coincided with high proline concentrations. Peels of unexposed interior canopy fruit had higher proline contents and were also more resistant to CI than peels of exposed exterior canopy fruit. Proline accumulation may be a consequence of an environmental stress rather than a cause of hardening to the stress or a mechanism of resistance.
Effects of Calcium, EDTA, and Oxalic Acid on Respiration of Apple Slices1
Authors: Himelrick David G. , Ingle Morris
Published: September 2022

Pretreatment or incubation of apple flesh tissue in CaCl2 solutions increased O2 consumption. Tissue incubated in ethylenediaminetetra-acetic acid (EDTA) and oxalic acid showed an initial respiratory burst with a subsequent decrease in respiration after 2 hours. Pretreatment alone did not induce a respiratory burst, but rather caused respiration to lag behind controls. The increased O2 consumption induced by CaCl2 was explained by the presumed restoration of membrane integrity in the senescing tissues which allowed a higher rate of respiration than expected.

Authors: Himelrick David G. , Ingle Morris
Published: September 2022

Six mid-season orchard sprays of ethylenediaminetetra-acetic acid (EDTA), oxalic acid, 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid (TIBA), and CaCl, did not consistently influence Ca concentration in leaf, fruit peel, or fruit flesh of 6 cultivars of apple (Malus domestica Borkh.).
Suppression of Ozone-injury on Tomatoes by Ethylene Diurea in Controlled Environments and in the Field1
Authors: Legassicke B. C. , Ormrod D. P.
Published: September 2022

The systematic antiozonant ethylene diruea (EDU: N-(2-(2-oxo-l-imidazoUdinyl)-ethyl)-N1-phenyI urea) was evaluated on ‘New Yorker’ tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) in controlled-environment chambers and ‘New Yorker’ and ‘Tiny Tim’ tomatoes in the field. Ozone injury on juvenile plants resulting from 25 pphm (VV−1) for 6 hr day−1 for 2 days was reduced in controlled environments by foliar sprays of 0.5 g liter−1 or soil drenches of 0.15 g per plant. Foliar injury symptoms were not evident on plants in the field, but yields of ‘Tiny Tim’ increased 30% on those plants sprayed weekly with 1.0 g liter−1 or on plants drenched at planting with 0.5 g per plant followed by 2 side dressings of 0.25 g per plant.
Use of Plant Desiccants to Control Cucumber Fruit Rot1
Authors: Halterlein A. J. , Sciumbato G. L. , Barren tine W. L.
Published: September 2022

The plant desiccants, endothall and paraquat, were used in 2 field experiments to study the effect of a reduced plant canopy on the incidence and severity of fruit rot disease of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) caused by the fungus Rhizoctonia solani Kuehn. In an experiment planted on May 15, 1979, the most effective desiccant treatment reduced disease incidence by 69% and also reduced disease severity. In a later experiment planted on August 8,1979, desiccants again reduced disease incidence. Paraquat (0.036 kg/ha) applied at first flower reduced disease incidence by 47%. This was consistent with its performance in the earlier experiment. Fungicide treatments with captafol did not reduce disease incidence or severity. The plant desiccants, endothall and paraquat, appear to be potentially useful for controlling cucumber fruit rot disease.

Authors: Collins Pamela C. , Blessington Thomas M.
Published: September 2022

Ficus elastica ‘Decora’ Roxb. ex Hornern, Peperomia obtusifolia (L.) A. Deitr, and Hedera helix ‘Hahn’s Self-branching’ L. were produced under 15 and 30 klx light levels and treated with 4 concentrations of ancymidol (alpha-cyclopropyl-alpha-(p-methoxyphenyl)-5-pyrimi-dinemethanol) and several weeks later were placed in an interior holding environment for 6 weeks. Ficus was taller and heavier when produced under 15 klx light; different ancymidol concentrations caused no significant growth effects. Peperomia was taller with increasing light and decreased in growth with ancymidol treatments. After 6 weeks in the interior holding environment, plant grade increased with increasing production light for Peperomia and remained the same for Ficus. Both Ficus and Peperomia maintained similar responses to production treatment after 6 weeks indoors. Hedera was not influenced by production light or ancymidol treatments.
‘Gold Striped Cushaw’ Winter Squash1
Authors: Rhodes A. M.
Published: September 2022

Cultivars of Cucurbita mixta Pang, have been slowly disappearing from listings in seed catalogs in the United States. Several years ago 4 cultivars were listed: ‘Green Striped Cushaw’, ‘White Cushaw,’ ‘Japanese Pie,’ and ‘Tennessee Sweet Potato.’ Today, ‘Green Striped Cushaw’ is occasionally listed. Of the other 3 cultivars, the author has recently seen only fruits of ‘White Cushaw’, which were produced by growers who save their own seed. Although these 4 cultivars of C. mixta are productive, they are very susceptible to powdery mildew, which may account for their decline in popularity.

‘Oregon 17’ Green Bean1
Authors: Baggett J. R. , Frazier W. A. , Varseveld G. W.
Published: September 2022

‘Oregon 17’ is an early maturing bush green bean of ‘Blue Lake’ pod type. Its use may permit an earlier beginning of operations by Oregon processors. ‘Oregon 17’ is about two days earlier than ‘Oregon 1604’, a standard cultivar for commercial canners in western Oregon. ‘Oregon 17’ should yield less than ‘Oregon 1604.’ However, this deficiency may be offset by greater processing efficiency of ‘Oregon 17’ pods, which are smoother and straighter than those of ‘Oregon 1604’.

Authors: Peck Deborah E. , Cumming Bruce G.
Published: September 2022

An in vitro method of propagating Begonia x tuberhybrida Voss from leaf sections is described. Leaf sections (2 x 2 cm), including a major vein, are submerged partially in a semisolid, bud-inducing medium, containing Murashige and Skoog (MS) salts, vitamins, sucrose, 1.0 mg/liter naphthalene-acetic acid (NAA), and 5.0 mg/liter 6-benzylamino purine (BA). Cultures are maintained in a 16-hr photoperiod at 20°C. After 8 to 10 weeks, the explants, which have begun bud differentiation, are divided and subcultured to a liquid medium containing MS salts, vitamins, sucrose, 1 mg/liter NAA and 1 mg/liter BA, to induce proliferation and development of propagules. The propagules then are placed, in vivo, in an indolebutyric acid (IBA) solution for 10 days to induce rooting. The total time elapsed between taking explants from leaves and the transfer of rooted propagules to pots is just over 5 months.
Yield Potential of Asparagus Irrigated with Geothermal and Ground Water on Imperial East Mesa Desert, California
Authors: Robinson F. E. , Berry W. L. , Scherer D. J. , Thomas T. R.
Published: September 2022

Asparagus (Asparagus officialis L.) cv. UC 157 planted in desert coarse sand in the fall of 1979 and harvested in the springs of 1981, 1982, and 1983 was irrigated with geothermal water, with 2240 ± 1290 ppm total dissolved solids and ground water 1430 ± 460 ppm total dissolved solids. Yields of 3.1 MT/ha of large spears were obtained with ground water and 0.03 MT/ha with the geothermal-irrigated asparagus. Na and Li were significantly increased in the spears that received geothermal irrigation, and B and Fe were significantly increased in those irrigated with ground water. Toxic accumulation of elements in the spears did not occur when geothermal water was used for irrigation, but yields were reduced.
Anticrustant Effects on Chile Pepper Stand and Yield
Authors: McGrady John J. , Cotter D. J.
Published: September 2022

Experiments were conducted in 1979 and 1980 to evaluate anticrustant (H3PO4 and Nalco 2190) effects on stand establishment, growth, and yield of chile pepper (Capsicum annuum L.). While plant stands and fruit yield were not increased by applying H3PO4 over the seeded row in 1979, hypocotyl stress of germinants was reduced. Stands and P content in 1980 were not increased by H3PO4 or Nalco 2190 treatments 1 month after emergence, but plant height was increased significantly by both anticrustants. Yields of fresh green chile peppers were not enhanced by treatments. While germinant stress could be reduced by using anticrustants, it was concluded that a factor other than crusting was limiting chile seedling growth in southern New Mexico.
Seasonal Concentration of the Pierce’s Disease Bacterium in ‘Carlos’ and ‘Welder’ Muscadine Grapes Compared with ‘Schuyler’ Bunch Grape
Authors: Hopkins D. L. , Thompson C. M.
Published: September 2022

The accumulation of Pierce’s disease bacterial occlusions in xylem vessels of leaves of susceptible ‘Schuyler’ bunch grapes occurred 2 months earlier than the accumulation in leaf vessels of the more tolerant ‘Carlos’ and ‘Welder’ muscadines. The first appearance of leaf marginal necrosis symptoms occurred when the accumulation of bacterial occlusions was approaching the maximum—the last week of June in the bunch grape, the last week of Aug. in the 2 muscadines. The site of bacterial accumulation was primarily in the leaves of ‘Carlos’, but in both leaves and stems of ‘Schuyler’ and ‘Welder’. Stem dieback symptoms are more common in the latter 2 cultivars.
Seed Germination of Tall Fescue and Kentucky Bluegrass as Affected by Adhesives
Authors: Hathcock A. L. , Dernoeden P. H. , Murray J. J. , Wehner D. J.
Published: September 2022

The adhesives gum arabic, Methocel A-15, Pelgel, Solka Floe, and 2 experimental materials were evaluated for their effect on germination and early seedling growth of ‘Kentucky 31’ tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.), and ‘Adelphi’ Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) and for their ability to retain a limestone seed coating. The adhesives did not adversely affect seed germination, turf quality, and early growth of seedlings of either species. Seedling growth of ‘Adelphi’, however, was enhanced by Methocel A-15 when compared to the control. Adhesive effectiveness for the retention of a limestone seed coating was in the order: Methocel A-15 > Pelgel > Solka Floe > AP-1 = AP-2.

Authors: Ben-Jaacov J. , Poole R. T. , Conover C. A.
Published: September 2022

Applications of fluoride and boron produced tipburn on Chlorophytum comosum Jacques ‘Vittatum’. Experiments were established to compare damage caused by F and B to Chlorophytum and to determine the influence of environmental factors and soil amendments on this damage. Damage incited by B was more severe than that incited by F and was unaffected by temperature. At 24°C and 15 µmol s-1m-2, increasing F did not produce tipburn, but at 31° maximum and 150 µmol s-1m-2, chlorophytum tips were damaged by increasing F. CaCO3 slightly decreased F damage but did not affect B damage.

Seasonal Variations in the Effects of CO2 Mist and Supplementary Lighting from High Pressure Sodium Lamps on Rooting of English Holly Cuttings
Authors: French C. J. , Lin W. C.
Published: September 2022

Injecting CO2 gas into mist water (CO2 mist) promoted rooting of Ilex aquifolium L. ‘Silver Variegated Standard’ stem cuttings in spring propagation while inhibiting rooting in the fall. Supplementary lighting from high pressure sodium lamps (HPS) for 16 hr daily had similar effects as CO2 mist in the spring and inhibited root growth in fall propagation. There was a positive interaction between CO2 mist and HPS in spring propagation, suggesting that the promotive effects of these variables were due to enhanced photosynthesis.
The Effect of Orchard Floor Management and Nitrogen Fertilization on Nutrient Uptake and Fruit Quality of ‘Golden Delicious’ Apple Trees
Authors: Neilsen G. H. , Meheriuk M. , Hogue E. J.
Published: September 2022

Mature ‘Golden Delicious’ apple trees (Malus domestica Borkh.) were subjected for 3 years to factorial combinations of 3 rates of N fertilization applied in April and 3 degrees of orchard floor management. Tree N nutrition was affected more by vegetation management than by rate of N fertilizer applied. Significant reduction in leaf N and trunk diameter, and superior fruit skin color and firmness at commercial harvest occurred consistently when the orchard floor was sod. Increased leaf N and reduced fruit skin color and firmness at harvest were measured at the highest N (180 kg N ha-1) in only 1 year while tree growth was not increased by this rate of N. Increased fruit Ca associated with smaller fruit and increased leaf Mg and leaf K were measured under sod in 2 of 3 years. Leaf Mn was affected only by rate of N fertilization and was consistently high at 180 kg N ha-1.
A Nondestructive Method for Measuring Shoot and Root Fresh Weights
Authors: Young Eric , Werner Dennis J.
Published: September 2022

A technique is described for obtaining nondestructive estimates of shoot and root fresh weight using Archimedes’ principle that the buoyancy of an object is equal to its volume times the density of the submersion fluid. Apple and peach seedlings grown in solution and sand cultures for 14 weeks were measured periodically using this technique. Destructive measurements also were taken for comparison. Estimated and actual shoot weights were not significantly different for seedlings grown in a solution culture; however, they were significantly different in sand culture. Coefficient of determination (r2) values of estimated shoot weight regressed on actual shoot weight were over 0.99 for all groups of seedlings.
A Comparison of Pollen Size in Sweet and Sour Cherry
Authors: Iezzoni A. F. , Hancock A. M.
Published: September 2022

Pollen samples from 4 sour cherry (Prunus cerasus L.) and 13 sweet cherry (P. avium L.) cultivars were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Pollen size did not differ significantly between species or ploidy level. Variability in size both within and among cultivars was greater in sour cherry than in sweet cherry. Giant pollen grains occurred in a low frequency in both sweet and sour cherry, equatorial diameter being responsible for the increased size.
Effect of Different Perforations in Polyethylene Films on Quality of Head Lettuce after Transcontinental Shipment
Authors: Yi Wang Chien , Hinsch R. Tom , Kindya William G.
Published: September 2022

The effects of different perforations in polyethylene (PE) films used as individual wraps on the quality of iceberg lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) were evaluated after cross-country shipment from California to Maryland, and after shipment plus storage and holding periods. Butt discoloration was more severe in the naked lettuce than in the PE packaged heads immediately after the transcontinental shipment, but this difference was not as evident after 3 days of holding at 15°C or after 2 weeks of storage at 3°. Number of discolored ribs was consistently lower throughout transportation, storage, and holding periods with lettuce packaged with 0.032 mm PE with 285 perforations/cm2 or packaged with 0.025 mm PE with 112 perforations/cm2 than with lettuce of other treatments. Lettuce packaged in 0.013 mm PE with 10 mm slits had the least weight loss among all the treatments after shipping plus 2 weeks of storage at 3°. However, the decay was more severe in this treatment than in those packaged with perforated PE films. Russet spotting occurred in all the treatments after storage and holding following shipment, but the severity was not associated with packaging treatments. More heads remained salable after 2 weeks at 3° plus 3 days at 15° following shipment in the treatments packaged with perforated PE films than in other treatments, primarily because of less decay and fewer discolored ribs.
Factors Influencing Cucumber Mosaic Virus Symptom Development in Pepper
Authors: Pasko P. J. , Nicklow C. W. , Moorman G. W.
Published: September 2022

Beginning one week after the onset of flower bud formation, greenhousegrown pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) plants were innoculated each week with cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) for a period of 12 weeks. In the initial experiment, begun 30 Dec. 1980, almost all fruit with CMV symptoms were harvesed from plants which were inoculated 5-8 weeks after flower initiation. When the experiment was repeated, beginning 31 May 1981, symptoms were found only on fruit harvested from plants which were inoculated 3-6 weeks after flower initiation. Increasing the temperature from 21° to 32°C decreased the number of days between inoculation and the initial appearance of virus crystals. Increasing the day length from 5 to 20 hr also decreased the incubation period. The results suggest the best stage of plant development for inoculation with CMV if fruit symptoms are desired for a disease screening program, and the best temperature (32°), and day length (20 hr) for a reduced incubation period.
Cultivar and Growing Season Effects on Cabbage Head Development and Weight Loss During Storage
Authors: Sundstrom F. J. , Story R. N.
Published: September 2022

Ten cultivars of cabbage (Brassica oleracea v. capitata) were grown in the fall and spring seasons. Cultivar differences in medial and longitudinal head diameter, core length and width, head firmness, and yield were significant within each season. Spring temperatures and daylengths seemed to be more favorable for greater crop production than fall conditions. Growing season significantly influenced head shape and core length. Head shape was conical in the fall, and rounder in the spring. Core elongation was significantly greater in the fall crop. Regression equations show that the percentage of weight loss during storage was lowest at 1°C, and increased with increasing storage temperature.

Authors: Baranova Olga Yurevna , Shirin A.D.
Published: September 2022

Basic discoveries in immunobiology of normal hematopoiesis, emerging views on malignant growth mechanisms together with further improvement of diagnostic capabilities led to a crucial change in perception of leukemiology as one of separate important areas of modern clinical onco-hematology. The now available detailed molecular genetic classification of acute leukemias is being complemented by new disease variants. New categories of acute leukemias and progenitor cell tumors have been identified. Nevertheless, many issues related to pathogenesis and classification of some variants of this heterogeneous disease remain unsolved and require further study. The present review provides thorough analysis of some rare variants of acute leukemias which are particularly challenging in terms of pathogenesis, diagnosis, and choice of treatment.

Published: September 2022

Aim. To assess the number of plasma cells (PC) in the bone marrow and their immunophenotype using flow cytometry (FC) and light microscopy. To analyze clinical and prognostic value of the data obtained in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM) patients treated with first-generation proteasome inhibitor bortezomib. Materials & Methods. The study enrolled 153 newly diagnosed MM patients treated and followed-up at the IP Pavlov First Saint Petersburg State Medical University in the period from 2007 to 2017. The median age of patients was 69 years. In 115 patients, the regimens based on first-generation proteasome inhibitor bortezomib were used as induction therapy. To determine the immunophenotypic profile of PC, the CD19, CD20, CD27, CD38, CD45, CD56, CD138, and CD117 monoclonal antibodies were used. PC immunophenotyping in the bone marrow was performed by FC using Cytomics FC500 (Beckman Coulter, USA). Results. Patients with different phenotypes did not show any considerable differences in monocloncal production of certain classes and types of immunoglobulin heavy and/ or light chains. In case of immunophenotypic profile of CD20+CD27- myeloma cells, the secretion of the monoclonal к-chain predominated over that of Л-chain. By and large, the secretion of light chains was observed more often in ММ CD20+ and more seldom in ММ CD56+. In case of CD56 expression, IgM secretion was more often reported; IgAK secretion was more common in case of CD117 expression. Worst survival scores were shown by patients with PC immunophenotype CD27-CD56-. At the primary MM diagnosis, the advanced stages of the disease, according to the ISS, were more commonly characterized by phenotype CD45-CD27-CD56+. Conclusion. The flow cytometry characteristics of PC immunophenotype can be applied to evaluate the prognosis of MM and to optimize the therapy.

Authors: Danilenko Anatolii Aleksandrovich , Shakhtarina S.V. , Falaleeva N.A.
Published: September 2022

Second malignant tumors occurring in classical Hodgkin’s lymphoma (cHL) patients after treatment include mainly solid neoplasms and far more rarely acute myeloid leuke-mias (AML). At the same time, a relative risk of developing secondary AML substantially exceeds the risks of second (solid) tumors, and the efficacy of secondary AML treatment is considerably lower compared to the outcomes of primary AML treatment. All that implies the importance and relevance of this issue. The present literature review discusses the epidemiology of developing secondary AMLs in patents after cHL treatment. In addition to that, it focuses on modern drugs and technologies for effective treatment of secondary AMLs.

REDUCING NON-SPECIFIC ADSORPTION OF PROTEINS VIA THE HPG MODIFICATION ON THE SURFACE OF MAGNETIC NANOPARTICLES
Authors: Zhou Meng , Sun Chunyu , Zhao Hong
Published: September 2022

Reducing non-specific adsorption of proteins on the surface of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) is becoming increasingly important. In this paper, we proposed a novel surface modification procedure by grafting hyperbranched polyglycerol (HPG) onto the surface of MNPs (Fe3O4@SiO2@MAA), in which lots of hydroxyl groups from HPG not only provide the hydrates sheath to prevent non-specific adsorption of proteins, but also react with succinic anhydride to generate carboxyl groups that serve as active sites to specifically bind proteins. The protein adsorption experiments showed that the non-specific adsorption (0.07 μg mg-1) was reduced to 4.58% of that before modification. It also showed that the antigen binding capacity was 9.7 times higher than the original when detecting cardiac troponin I (cTnI) in human plasma samples, which indicated that the final synthesized MNPs had great application prospects in bio-separation and bioanalysis.

EVALUATION OF AROMATIC VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS IN THE ATMOSPHERE IN CAMPOS DOS GOYTACAZES AND ITAPERUNA APPLYING MULTIVARIATE DATA ANALYSIS. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are air pollutants emitted from different sources, mainly by industries and motor vehicles. The evaluation of the emission of these compounds into the atmosphere should be done systematically and with a varied class of compounds. The large number of data generated during the monitoring of these VOCs requires the use of multivariate data tools to interpret the results. In this sense, this work aimed to monitor 10 aromatic VOCs present in the atmosphere of the largest cities in the Norte Fluminense (Campos dos Goytacazes) and Noroeste Fluminense (Itaperuna) regions. The VOCs were actively sampled and analyzed by gas chromatography with mass spectrometry detection after thermal desorption. After treatment of analytical results, it was observed that in both cities there is influence of vehicular emissions. In the city of Itaperuna, due to the relief and lower dispersion of contaminants, there is a higher occurrence of photochemical reactions. The exploratory analysis of the data allowed identifying the variables that were more significant and correlating these variables with the main sources of emission of the compounds. This is the first study of VOCs evaluation in Campos dos Goytacazes and Itaperuna, demonstrating the relevance of this research for understanding the behavior of VOCs in these cities, which have different reliefs and high traffic of cars and trucks in the studied sites.

Diethylene glycol is an extremely toxic substance to humans. Recently, cases of beer contamination in Brazil have raised awareness of the need for developing simple screening methods to evaluate this type of compound. This research developed a liquid-liquid extraction with low-temperature partitioning technique to determine diethylene glycol in beer via gas chromatography. Employing a flame-ionization detector simplifies the method, lowers its cost and therefore, it can be used as screening step to assess the possibility of contamination. A gas chromatograph coupled to a mass spectrometer would be used only for a confirmatory analysis. The optimized method was validated for the main figures of merit, and it proved to be adequate, with good values of recovery rate (94-106%), limit of detection (3.0 mg L-1), and quantification (10.0 mg L-1). Accuracy, in terms of repeatability and intermediate accuracy, showed variation coefficients lower than or equal to 20%. This method was applied to 28 samples of beers marketed in Brazil, and diethylene glycol was found above the limit of detection in three of them (10.7%). These results were confirmed by a gas chromatograph coupled to a mass spectrometer, which showed the reliability of the screening method for determining diethylene glycol in beer samples.

Published: September 2022

The river Vamsadhara runs through the states of Andhra Pradesh (AP) and Odisha along a stretch of coastline that is prone to cyclonic storms. Riverine flow, along with cyclonic gales, is a crucial issue for most of India's coastal districts. As a result, a developed flood forecasting model is required to mitigate the danger of flooding to a certain level. For evaluating maximum water depth and inundation of flood plains induced by storms under existing and future land use circumstances, hydrological and hydraulic models are more prominently studied. The current work employs hydrological and hydrodynamic models to simulate a real flood inundation model for unsteady flow conditions. The technique involves the processing of the digital elevation models (DEM) to generate flood hydrographs that serve as boundary conditions for the reaches. In the present analysis, Manning's roughness coefficient is used as a sensitive parameter. Calibration and validation of extreme flood events that occurred in 2006, 2010, and 2013 using observed water levels yielded good results, with model performances of 0.79, 0.68, and 0.84, respectively. The findings of the generated depth, velocity, and flood extent maps are presented. These maps can be used to plan for flood disasters and long-term watershed management.

Aims:

The purpose of this research is to analyze the operator profile, operational transportation profile and operational costs, as well as the additional income of the operator.

Background:

South Sulawesi, Indonesia, is known as the city of rice or rice granaries with extensive agricultural areas or rice fields, but road infrastructure is still limited, and there are still many unconnected road networks and the absence of fast, cheap and efficient modes of transportation for agricultural products that can operate. In addition, the level of education and skills of the community is low; limited employment opportunities cause unemployment. Therefore, farming communities create jobs by modifying their two-wheeled motorcycle and becoming operators of motorcycle taxis transporting agricultural products as a livelihood to earn additional income.

Objective:

The object of the study is motorcycle taxis operator as a means of transporting agricultural products operating in the Sidenreng Rappang Regency, with a very large agricultural area.

Methods:

The interview survey is conducted on motorcycle taxi operators. A total of 227 operator respondents were surveyed randomly using a survey form that had been previously designed and tested. Primary data is collected through interview surveys which are analyzed and described.

Results and Discussion:

The results of the study show that the majority of operators have a relatively low education profile, 96% with an education level below high school, 99% working as an operator is a side job, 100% of taxi motorcycles are owned by themselves, the time spent per motorcycle taxi transporting to the destination on average between 100 – 200 minutes per 1,000 – 3,000 kg, operating time used per day is 98% less than 5 hours, operator operating costs per day on average IDR30,600 (equivalent to US$2.1/day), provide additional income per day of IDR173,400 (equivalent to US$12/day) or month between IDR3,500,000 – IDR4,500,000 (equivalent to US$ 241 – US$ 310/month).

Conclusion:

Motorcycle taxis are one of the solutions for transporting agricultural products in this region and created additional jobs become operators to increase income.

Background:

Smoking cessation is beneficial for smokers of all ages. Moreover, smokers who quit tobacco use benefit from COVID-19 risk avoidance.

Objective:

This project aims to develop a smoking cessation intervention protocol in the primary care service system.

Methods:

Intervention Mapping guidelines for health promotion planning program was used as an instruction includes 1) need assessment, 2) aim determination, 3) selecting theory-based approaches selection and practical strategies and intervention design, 4) intervention development, 5) planning the implementation of the program and 6) planning the evaluation.

Results:

According to the needs, smoking cessation behavior was indicated as an outcome of the intervention. The socio-ecological model (Fig. 1) and the transtheoretical model were performed as the theoretical underpinning of the intervention. Moreover, the proactive multisession telephone counseling integrated with the smoking cessation service in the primary care service was used as an intervention for smokers. The average quit attempts after the quit date were 2.13 times (SD = 1.33), with an abstinence rate of 88.24 percent, according to early findings among the experimental group 30 days after the quit date.

Conclusion:

An intervention mapping can be used as a guideline to develop smoking cessation in the primary care setting. This study provides the smoking cessation protocol delivered for Thai smokers, particularly in the primary care service system, to promote sustainable well-being among Thais.
Fertility Preservation and Cervical Cancer: Fertility-Sparing Surgery and Cervical Cancer in Pregnancy

About 40% of the diagnoses of cervical cancer occur during the reproductive
age. With the increasing age of first pregnancy, both cervical cancer diagnosis during
conception attempt and pregnancy are more common events.
Although the oncologic outcome is the primary objective of these treatments, in
selected women wishing to preserve fertility, a fertility-sparing surgery (FSS) should
be considered. Many factors must be evaluated including stage, histological subtype,
lymph node status, lymphovascular space invasion, size of the disease, and,
nonetheless, the experience of the health care team. We review the indications,
techniques, fertility and obstetric outcomes of FSS.
Increasing evidence has shown that cervical cancer during pregnancy is a condition that
can be treated. However, many issues remain to be discussed: i) how to make a correct
diagnosis and staging of the disease; ii) what is the most appropriate treatment; iii)
when to start treatment and what is the risk of delaying the treatment to allow for better
fetal maturity; iv) what is the preferred mode of delivery; v) how pregnancy affects the
progression and prognosis of neoplasia. We have reviewed the tumor factors,
gestational age, obstetrical conditions and complications related to cervical cancer
during pregnancy. The chapter reviews the evidence for the best possible treatment of
this challenging medical condition, including the psychological aspects related to such
diagnosis, helping the clinician and the patient clarify their concerns and wishes
regarding the continuation of the pregnancy and the cancer treatment.
Breast Cancer and Pregnancy

The association between breast cancer and pregnancy is defined as detecting
breast cancer during pregnancy or within one year after delivery.
The diagnosis is often difficult and delayed. It is based on clinical examination,
radiological exams (ultrasound and/or RM) and biopsy of the suspected lesion. The
staging examinations should be performed only if any change in therapeutic decisions
or clinical practice could be made or in the presence of a high risk of distant
metastases.
The treatment includes surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, hormonal therapy and
molecular targeted therapy, and it should be as close as possible with the standard
protocols of non-pregnant patients and should be discussed with a multidisciplinary
team. It is important to start the treatment as soon as possible, with the exception of
term pregnant patients, for whom it can be postponed after delivery.
The major fetal complications seem to be related to prematurity, and the type of
delivery depends on obstetrics indication. The delivery should be planned at least three
weeks after the infusion of chemotherapy, and the treatment generally could be
restarted one week after the cesarean section and immediately after a vaginal delivery.
The apparent poor outcome in pregnant women can be explained by the delayed
diagnosis and/or treatment and the biological characteristics of the tumor (often of high
grade and triple negative).
Finally, when the treatment is planned, reproductive counseling should always be
proposed to young patients immediately after diagnosis in order to plan the best fertility
preservation strategies
Non-Gynecologic Tumors and Fertility Thyroid
Authors: Romagnolo Cesare
Published: September 2022

Thyroid disease is common and affects 1% to 2% of pregnant women.
Pregnancy outcomes can depend on optimal management of thyroid disease, and the
course of thyroid disease may be modified by pregnancy. During pregnancy, the
evaluation of a thyroid nodule includes a serum TSH and a US assessment of the neck
and thyroid gland. Fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytology should be performed for
predominantly solid thyroid nodules >1cm discovered in pregnancy. The incidence of
thyroid carcinoma is about threefold higher in women than in men, particularly during
women’s reproductive years; however, results from case-control and prospective
studies showed weak and inconsistent results on the associations between pregnancy,
parity, menstrual cycle regularity, exogenous hormone use and menopausal status and
thyroid carcinoma risk. Two guidelines on thyroid and pregnancy were developed in
October 2011 and August 2012 by American Thyroid Association and Endocrine
Society, respectively. A recent case report underlines the importance of the trimester of
pregnancy: if well-differentiated thyroid cancer is diagnosed prior to the mid-trimester,
it is possible to carry out the surgical intervention in the mid-trimester. During late
pregnancy, resection after delivery is the option of choice. There is no indication for
termination of pregnancy. Radioiodine or 131I (RAI) is an effective treatment of
differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) in both preventing relapses and treating
metastases. The possibility of genetic or physical damage to the offspring in terms of
congenital malformation and childhood malignancies is a real concern, but several
studies did not find a statistically significant association between previous RAI
exposure and unfavourable pregnancy outcome. There is a general agreement to defer
the thyroid surgery to the second trimester and avoid conception within one year after
RAI, allowing RAI clearance and hormonal stabilization.
