Published: August 2024

In vivo studies on the hazards of deep-fried foods were commonly done by feeding used- or heated-cooking oil to rats. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of feeding tempe deep-fried in palm, olive, and coconut oils and the used frying oil on the blood biochemical profile of laboratory rats. An in vivo randomized control group study with pre-test and post-test was conducted. This study included healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats aged 2–3 months and weighing 100−200 grams. After acclimatization, the rats were randomly assigned to seven groups, which were: (1) regular diet (control diet); (2) diet of tempe deep-fried in 5× used palm oil (Tempe-in-used-Po); (3) diet of tempe deep-fried in 5× used coconut oil (Tempe-in-used-Co); (4) diet of tempe deep-fried in 5× used olive oil (Tempe-in-used-Oo); (5) diet of 5× used palm oil (Used-Po); (6) diet of 5× used coconut oil (Used-Co); and (7) diet of 5× used olive oil (Used-Oo). Each rat received 15 grams of a treatment diet daily and blood samples were collected after four weeks for a complete blood count and serum biochemistry analysis. The results showed that the final body weight and the weight gain of Tempe-in-used-Po, Tempe-in-used-Co, Tempe-in-used-Oo group, and Used-Po groups increased significantly compared to the control, Used-Co, and Used-Oo groups. However, there was a significant increase in serum tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) in the Used-Co and Used-Oo groups (p<0.05), suggesting the used oil's detrimental effect. The Used-Co and Used-Oo were the only two groups whose creatinine increased significantly (p<0.05). Subsequently, only the Used-Oo group had a significantly increased malondialdehyde (MDA) level compared to all groups (p<0.05). These results prove that the effect of feeding fried food differs from used oils. Feeding used oil did not reflect the consumption of fried foods as part of the whole diet and generally resulted in more harmful effects. This is the first study to report an in vivo rat feeding study of deep-fried tempe and the used oil as part of the diet.

Published: August 2024

Humans who use medicines for insomnia may experience a variety of adverse effects, including dependence. Traditional medicine frequently uses lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) to treat various conditions, including sleep difficulties. Terpenoids, which are secondary metabolites found in lettuce plants, are to blame for this. This study aimed to see if an ethanolic extract of lettuce leaf had any sedative-hypnotic activity in Swiss Webster strain male white mice induced by phenobarbital at a dose of 90 mg/KgBB intraperitoneally. In this study, the post-test-only control strategy was employed. The animals were divided into six groups (n = 4): negative (aqua dest), positive (Na-CMC 0.5%), comparison (diazepam 1.3 mg/KgBB), and ethanolic extract of lettuce leaf at doses of 300 mg/KgBB, 400 mg/KgBB, and 500 mg/KgBB. The parameters observed in this study were a combination of parameters from previous studies, namely the number of falls, sleep onset, and sleep duration in mice. The data obtained were then processed statistically using the one-way ANOVA (analysis of variance) and post-hoc test follow-up analysis with the LSD (least significant difference) test. The results showed that the ethanolic extract of lettuce leaves at 300, 400, and 500 mg/KgBB had a sedative-hypnotic effect. Doses of 300 mg/KgBB only increased sleep duration. In contrast, 400 and 500 mg/KgBB increased the number of falls, rapid sleep onset, and increased sleep duration, significantly different from positive controls (p<0.05). The effective dose of ethanolic extract of lettuce leaf as a sedative-hypnotic was 400 mg/KgBB.

Published: August 2024

Helium inhalation has been used as a method of suicide due to its rapid onset and perceived painlessness. However, little is known about the specific circumstances and forensic aspects surrounding helium-induced deaths, particularly when combined with other substances such as alcohol and antidepressants. We report a case of an adult male who was found deceased in his home, with evidence suggesting helium inhalation as the cause of death. Toxicological analysis also revealed the presence of ethyl alcohol and the antidepressant Citalopram in various body tissues. The combination of these substances raises questions about their potential contribution to the fatal outcome. This case highlights the importance of thorough forensic investigations in cases of unusual or unexpected deaths, particularly when multiple substances are involved. Understanding the interactions between these substances and their effects on the body is crucial for accurate cause of death determination and prevention strategies.

Reflecting on the Human Condition Through Ahmad Mahmoud's Narratives: An Exploration of Social Sufferings
Authors: Bita Solati Morad ala
Published: August 2024

The domain of fictional literature is a pivotal and impactful realm within the literary landscape. Scholars note that the inception of the modern Iranian narrative began in 1930 with the works of Sadegh Hedayat, marking the evolution of storytelling into a fundamental literary genre that garnered significant prominence. Despite the extensive literature on Mahmoud, focused and explicit discourse on how his narratives mirror societal suffering has been lacking. This study aims to explore the depiction of societal anguish and hardships as portrayed by Mahmoud, offering a comprehensive and novel analysis. It scrutinizes the multifaceted sufferings of the "contemporary human" as depicted in Mahmoud's literature, dissecting themes such as social and political dilemmas, encompassing superstitions, the plight of women, poverty, addiction, imprisonment, exile, colonialism, and warfare. The findings reveal that misguided beliefs and a lack of faith contribute to the prevalence of superstitions, while the agonies of imprisonment and exile are depicted as perpetual. Mahmoud's works profoundly reflect and articulate the impacts of poverty and addiction. Although the tribulations of women are less highlighted, they are more profoundly explored in the context of maternal hardship. Moreover, colonialism and warfare are depicted in a comprehensive and detailed manner in Ahmad Mahmoud's narratives.

Facilitators and Barriers in Integrated Social Care for Families Facing Multiple and Complex Problems: A Scoping Review
Authors: Van Eck Marcel , Ettema Roelof , Cloin Mariëlle , Van Regenmortel Tine
Published: August 2024

Introduction: Families with multiple and complex problems often deal with multiple professionals and organizations for support. Integrated social care supposedly prevents the fragmentation of care that often occurs.We identified facilitators and barriers experienced by families receiving integrated social care and by the professionals who provide it.
Method: We performed a scoping review following Arksey and O’Malley’s framework, using the following databases: PsycINFO, Web of Science Core Collection, Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection, CINAHL, PubMed, and Medline. Furthermore, conducted a thematic analysis. The results were divided into facilitators and barriers of integrated social care.
Results: We identified 278 studies and finally included sixteen in our scoping review. We identified facilitators, including: linking formal care with informal networks, promoting collaboration among professionals e.g., working in pairs, and professionals autonomy. We identified barriers, including: time constraints, tasks outside professionals’ expertise, along with resistance to integrated collaboration among organizations. These findings can enhance the advancement of social integrated care as a promising approach to support families facing multiple and complex problems.
Conclusion: To empower families, integrated social care requires a systematic approach based on trust. It involves coordinated care, shared decision-making, informal networks and the participation of all family members, including children.

Background: Vaginal birth after caesarean section (VBAC) is increasingly recognized as a safe and effective option for women with a history of Caesarean deliveries. However, limited attention has been given to feasibility and safety of VBAC after multiple caesarean sections. Case presentation: A 36-year-old woman with a history of four previous Caesarean sections presented in our centre in third stage of labour. Despite counseling for elective Caesarean section, she had a spontaneous vaginal delivery of a live 2.6 kg female neonate in a vehicle en route to the hospital. On arrival, she was stable but had lost about 500ml of blood. Immediate interventions included active management of third stage of labour and assessment for perineal injuries, with subsequent monitoring and blood transfusion. She had a normal postpartum recovery, was discharged after four days, and had a reassuring 6-week post-natal visit, with a referral to family planning. Conclusion: This case underscores the potential success and safety of vaginal birth after multiple (three or more) Caesarean sections, challenging the notion that a history of repeated C-sections precludes this option. Vaginal birth after CS (VBAC), initially restricted to one previous CS, is now considered in selected cases with two prior abdominal deliveries. However, the acceptance of VBAC after three or more CS remains limited despite available evidences indicating comparable success rates and maternal risks for VBAC after multiple CS when compared to VBAC after one prior CS or elective repeat CS.
A NOVEL BIM-ENABLED SOFTWARE-BASED SOLUTION FOR MITIGATING CONSTRUCTION RISK MANAGEMENT
Authors: Abosaq Nasser , Batool Syeda Manzila
Published: August 2024

This paper presents a novel Software-based solution to mitigate the most prevalent construction risks with systematic implementation of Building Information Modeling Software at the lifecycle stages of the project and provides practical recommendations for industry practitioners. The construction industry has a complex and uncertain process presenting different opportunities and challenges at various project phases. Incorporating traditional risk management methods with BIM helps identify and manage risks effectively. This research paper presents a systematic approach to implementing BIM throughout the lifecycle of an eight-story building project, from feasibility to construction, to manage major risks in each phase. The paper addresses a gap in the literature by identifying and mitigating prominent risks in the construction industry of Pakistan through BIM modeling, based on a review of 180 common risks and detailed interviews. The research methodology involved surveys and data analysis to identify and prioritize the most significant risks and suitable BIM mitigation measures. The study suggests that BIM’s collaboration software resolves communication issues while Clash Detection mitigates Design-related risks before the start of construction. Simulation of Planned vs. Actual Progress and accurate Quantity Estimates achieved by BIM’s estimation software contribute to the successful completion of the project. BIM and its tools have the potential to revolutionize the construction process if used as a structured risk management tool throughout the project lifecycle. The paper advises designing out most project risks in the Planning and Design phase while reserving monitoring and control for later stages as early identification and management of risks is critical for success.

Patients with peripheral neuropathy could have damaged peripheral nerves, which leads to sensory and motor dysfunction. Diabetes, infections, and trauma are the major causes of peripheral neuropathy. Vibratory perception threshold (VPT) tools are commonly used to detect peripheral neuropathy. This study aims to determine the assessment of peripheral neuropathy through the different diagnostic tools in the community in Malaysia. A total number of 1283 participants were recruited from the seven retail pharmacies located in Selangor, Malaysia. The peripheral neuropathy test was conducted based on VPT tools on both feet using the digital biothesiometer. Following that, Neurological Symptom Score (NSS) and Neurological Disability Score (NDS) were taken from the participants to assess the neurological symptoms. Participants had an average age of 40.6 ± 12.9 years and were mostly of Chinese ethnicity (54.1%). The findings show that increasing age was associated with more severe peripheral neuropathy across the various assessment tools, but gender differences were found with the biothesiometer test and ethnicity has severity in the biothesiometer and disability scores. The sensitivity and specificity of the biothesiometer test were 0.63 and 0.84, respectively. The combined tool NSS and NDS had high specificity and a high positive predictive value, suggesting that it could be a reliable indicator of peripheral neuropathy when both scores are elevated. The findings show that the biothesiometer test, NSS, and NDS are considered screening VPT tools for diagnosing peripheral neuropathy. However, further evaluation and diagnostic testing are necessary in cases of a positive test result.

Authors: Waheed Muhammad Aamir , Diffala Suwileh Salah Ali Saleh , Rashid Khalid , Ansar Farrukh , Elzouki Abdelnaser
Published: August 2024

Background: SGLT2 inhibitors are known for their osmotic diuretic effect, and their use by Muslim patients with type 2 diabetes during the fasting month of Ramadan may pose an increased risk of volume depletion, potentially impacting renal function.

Methods: We conducted a systematic review registered on PROSPERO (registration number CRD42020204582) of studies published between 2013 and January 2023, sourced from PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. The study selection criteria included controlled studies that reported the use of SGLT2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) by fasting adult type 2 diabetes patients and provided data on creatinine or estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) as outcomes.

Results: Two prospective observational studies, encompassing a total of 359 participants, of which 197 utilized SGLT2 inhibitors, were identified. Our findings indicated that the use of SGLT2 inhibitors during Ramadan did not result in a significant alteration in eGFR. In one study by Hassanein et al., the mean changes in eGFR for the SGLT2i group, as compared to the non-SGLT2i group, were -1.2 ± 19.4 and 3.1 ± 14.8, respectively (p = 0.06). In a study by Shao et al., the least squares mean changes for eGFR in the SGLT2i group, compared to the non-SGLT2i group, were -6.0 ± 1.5 (95% CI, -8.9 to -3.1) and -4.2 ± 1.6 (95% CI, -7.3 to -1.1), respectively (p = 0.39).

Conclusion: Despite the limited number of observational studies available, our analysis suggests that the use of SGLT2 inhibitors by type 2 diabetes patients during Ramadan does not appear to significantly impact kidney function.

Authors: Habachi Ghada , Sahli Sondes , Ammar Sabrine Ben , Aziza Bochra , Jouini Riadh
Published: August 2024

Introduction: Empyema is a known complication of severe pleuropneumonia. In rare cases, if poorly treated, it could result in dissemination and fistulization and transformation into empyema necessitans. The manifestation may appear as a superficial abscess. However, as management highly differs, the recognition of potentially severe phenomenon is required.

Case Presentation: We describe a case of empyema necessitans on a 4-year-old girl secondary to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. It represents the sixth pediatric case reported in the literature. It was managed by open drainage and prolonged antibiotherapy. The outcome was favorable as guidelines were extracted from similar reported cases.

Conclusion: Empyema necessitans remains a rare complication with significant morbidity. Prompt diagnosis and adapted management have relied on limited literature. As such, further reports are necessary to establish proper guidelines.
A case report on imaging findings of rare segmental necrotizing granulomatous neuritis of leprosy involving ulnar nerve
Authors: Netam S. B. S. , Gupta Nilesh , Chandrakar Nobal
Published: August 2024

Introduction: Segmental necrotizing granulomatous neuritis (SNGN) is a rare complication of leprosy involving peripheral nerves. It can appear alone in cases of pure neuritic leprosy or in combination with cutaneous lesions.

Case Presentation: A 15-year-old female diagnosed with borderline tuberculoid leprosy who received prior multidrug therapy presented 2 years later with occasional pain and tingling sensations along the inner aspect of her right arm and forearm. Imaging findings suggested SNGN, which was corroborated by cytopathological examination. She was considered relapsed from leprosy, and multi-drug therapy and steroids were started, following which she reported a decrease in the size of the swelling along with no further deterioration of the sensorineural deficit.

Discussion: SNGN, which is one of the rare complications of leprosy, can create diagnostic dilemmas as its differential diagnoses include reversal reactions, and peripheral nerve tumors (such as schwannoma and neurofibroma), which have been outlined in this article. SNGN is more likely when magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) shows a well-defined ovoid lesion with central necrosis and peripheral rim enhancement.

Conclusion: The incidence of SNGN is on the rise due to multi-drug therapy. In our case, the patient developed SNGN, which was considered a relapse from leprosy, and multi-drug therapy and steroids were started, following which the patient reported a significant reduction in the size of the swelling with no further deterioration of the sensorineural deficit. Hence, an appropriate diagnosis of SNGN through ultrasonography and MRI will lead to favorable outcomes, ultimately benefiting the patient.
Impact of Coal Mining on Health Condition of the Local Residents: A study from Salanpur Coal belt Area of West Bengal
Authors: Maji Manoranjan
Published: August 2024

In coal mining belt both formal and informal/illegal coal mining are responsible for the creating various types of health hazards for the local residents. Formal miners tries to mitigate the environmental related hazards which is in turn responsible for various health related problems among the residents who live nearby by adopting EIA (Environmental Impact Assessment) technique whereas informal/illegal miners did not adopt any such techniques. Here our study focuses on the perception of the local residents about the impact of formal as well as informal/illegal mining on health condition of the local residents. For this we took sample of 500 household members from mining village (MV) and non-mining or controlled village (CV). We specially check whether mining activities in MV has any significant impact on health condition of the residents or not. For our study we apply Mann-Whitney U test. Based on the analysis of the perception of the sample households regarding the impact of illegal coal mining on the health condition of the resident’s majority of the respondent agreed that illegal coal mining has adverse impact on health condition of the local residents. The realizations of the impact of illegal coal mining on health are significantly higher in MV than that in the CV. Due to the existence of formal and illegal coal mining in the MV, ground water condition as well as air quality is deteriorated which is responsible for various types of air borne as well as water borne diseases among the local residents in comparison to the CV situated slightly away from the MV

This research chose Catullus' poetry because it is interesting to study. Coleridge, in his psychological theory of literature, views artistic design as important. Because it will determine the color of literature, the creative process of a work (poetry), and reflect elements of a genius and free spirit. reading Catullus's poems to his lover Lesbia, it is clear that their relationship was tumultuous. His poems range from describing deep, passionate love to seething hatred. Catullus is the main character in the poem and is the author of the poem. This research uses a qualitative approach, namely content analysis as the method. The author uses a literary psychology approach to see the genius of writers in determining the beauty of poetry. This research falls into the realm of literary psychology, where literary psychology discusses more about psychological aspects, which include the psychology of the author or character in a literary work. The analysis technique used is based on qualitative data analysis methods, specifically collecting data through reading and paying special attention to the narrative text in the manuscript, presenting the data systematically and interpreting it based on literary psychological studies from the psychology researcher, namely Coleridge.

A telemedicina supera barreiras geográficas, oferecendo assistência médica a populações distantes com acesso limitado à saúde. No entanto, essa ferramenta enfrenta diversos impasses relacionados com questões éticas, estruturais, legais e culturais, o que dificulta a implementação e consolidação. Este estudo qualitativo e quantitativo teve como objetivo analisar a aplicação da telemedicina na atenção primária em um município do Vale do Itajaí, Santa Catarina. Um questionário foi aplicado a 30 médicos que atuavam na Atenção Primária do município em questão, revelando que 87% consideraram os impactos positivos, destacando a resolutividade dos casos e o aprendizado contínuo. A telemedicina melhorou a organização dos atendimentos e reduziu encaminhamentos desnecessários. As limitações apontadas foram a restrição de encaminhamentos e respostas padronizadas ineficazes. Conclui-se que os impactos das teleconsultorias foram vistos como positivos.  No entento, considerando sua recente implementação, há necessidade de mais estudos para avaliação abrangente.
A sombra do traumático na escuta psicanalítica
Authors: Castro Paulus Tatiane
Published: August 2024

O presente estudo busca compreender o trauma e suas implicações na clínica psicanalítica, tendo como ponto de partida os estudos de Sandor Ferenczi, autor relevante no cenário psicanalítico bem como no avanço da Psicanálise moderna. Dedicado aos pacientes considerados difíceis na época, teceu em grande parte de sua obra, considerações acerca do traumático, tema que para Ferenczi partia tanto do viés constitutivo quanto patológico. Através do processo de introjeção o autor destaca a importância da presença de um outro que dê conta de excitações inevitáveis ao sujeito, seja na cena do nascimento seja na cena analítica, quando a palavra está endereçada a alguém. Dado que o trauma se efetiva na quebra da relação com o outro, no setting analítico, conceitos como o de hospitalidade, empatia e saúde psíquica do analista sustentam a técnica analítica na aposta de que haja um novo destino ao traumático.

A torção uterina é uma enfermidade de baixa ocorrência em éguas e consiste na rotação do útero sobre seu próprio eixo longitudinal, variando de 90-540º, no sentido horário ou anti-horário. O diagnóstico é realizado principalmente pela palpação vaginal e o tratamento a ser instituído dependerá da gravidade do caso. Sendo assim, objetiva-se relatar o caso de torção uterina em égua Mangalarga Marchador, com sete anos e com 315 dias de gestação. O animal foi atendido com taquicardia, taquipneia, hipomotilidade intestinal e sinais de desconforto abdominal há 15 horas. Após palpação transretal e exame vaginal, foi possível diagnosticar quadro de torção uterina no sentido horário, com indicação de tratamento cirúrgico. A égua foi submetida à anestesia inalatória, para a realização de celiotomia pela linha média, seguida de cesariana. O potro foi retirado sem vida, mas em seguida foi possível reduzir a torção uterina. O animal teve alta hospitalar após 28 dias da intervenção cirúrgica, sem complicações. Conclui-se que embora rara, a torção uterina acomete éguas gestantes, necessitando de atenção do médico veterinário para o correto diagnóstico e instituição precoce do tratamento, sendo o tratamento cirúrgico eficiente e com prognóstico favorável para a égua.

As formigas podem ser utilizadas como uma ferramenta de avaliação da qualidade ambiental. Nesse contexto, essa pesquisa teve por objetivo avaliar a riqueza e abundância de formigas epigéicas em áreas urbanas em Cáceres-MT. As coletas foram realizadas trimestralmente durante 2023, utilizando armadilhas de queda (tipo pitfall). Ao todo, coletou-se 5273 indivíduos distribuídos em sete subfamílias. A abundância total de formigas foi maior no mês de outubro, em áreas com piscicultura, inseridas próximas à borda de vegetação natural. Contudo, não houve diferenças para a abundância total de formigas em função da temperatura média do solo, e nem para a riqueza total de formigas em relação ao local e mês de coleta. Acromyrmex apresentou maior abundância em mata de galeria, enquanto Dorymyrmex em áreas com piscicultura inseridas próximas à borda de vegetação. Caracterísiticas ambientais influenciaram a abundância de formigas, com a ocorrência maior de formigas tolerantes à alta luminosidade, Dorymyrmex. Dessa maneira é essencial a manutenção da vegetação natural em áreas urbanas para contribuir com a conservação da biodiversidade e serviços ecossistêmicos.

The Sacred Names The sacred names of Allah Almighty reflect God's qualities. Allah Almighty 's sacred names are embodiment of His Beauty 'grace, affection or anger. If there would be element of trinity, threat and fear in a negative sense then these names could not be put in the range of beautiful or sacred names. These names contain a sense of grace and forgiveness in every aspect. By viewing the inner aspect of these names one can come to know that every sacred name has an element of love, affection and forgiveness. If there is punishment, revenge or hardness, it is in a positive sense for our betterment. There is a lesson for our eternal benefit, success, education and positive change in hardness and punishment.

Feasibility of Non-contact Noise Cancellation for Medical Device Alarms in Intensive Care Unit: An In Vitro Experiment
Authors: Sonoda Nao , Fujii Kiyotaka , Morimoto Akiko
Published: August 2024

Objective: Medical device alarms in intensive care units (ICUs) are essential but their constant noise contributes to sleep disturbance and delirium in patients, jeopardizing their health and recovery. Therefore, improving the sound environment for patients in the ICU is crucial. This fundamental experiment investigated the potential of non-contact noise cancellation to reduce the noise level from medical device alarms in patients’ ears. We tested whether non-contact noise cancellation using a loudspeaker reduced the noise level of medical device alarms. Methods: In Experiment 1, we measured and analyzed the electrocardiogram sounds (volume 2, default setting) from a bedside monitor and the alarm sounds (volume 2, default setting) from a syringe pump. Negative-phase sound waves were subsequently generated for each alarm type. In Experiment 2, we tested whether non-contact noise cancellation using a loudspeaker reduced the noise level of each alarm. Results: The electrocardiogram sound from the bedside monitor was highest around 1kHz, while, the alarm sound from the syringe pump peaked around 4kHz. Non-contact noise cancellation using the loudspeaker reduced the electrocardiogram sounds emitted from the bedside monitor by more than 15decibel (dB) and the alarm sounds from the syringe pump by more than 10dB. Conclusion: A 10dB change doubles or halves the perceived loudness, making the over 10dB reduction achieved for medical device alarms in this study highly significant. The results of this experimental study demonstrate the promising potential of noise-cancelling loudspeakers for improving patient comfort and well-being in ICUs.
