A Review on Ceftaroline in the Treatment of Community Acquired Bacterial Pneumonia
Authors: Ephrem Ashitha , Ali Shahada , Shabaraya A.R.
Published: December 2022

Ceftaroline fosamil (ceftaroline) is approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). It is a fifth-generation cephalosporin having broad-spectrum efficacy against gram-positive bacteria such as Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae (PRSP), as well as a variety of common gram-negative pathogens. Ceftaroline can bind to penicillin-binding protein (PBP)2a, an MRSA-specific PBP with minimal affinity for the majority of other β-lactam antibiotics. The drug is often given intravenously in doses of 600 mg every 12 hours for 5-7 days. Only a parenteral formulation of ceftaroline is commercially available, and the prodrug, ceftaroline fosamil, is rapidly and completely hydrolysed after intravenous administration. Ceftaroline was found to be noninferior to comparator agents in Phase II and Phase III clinical studies, with good clinical cure rates in the treatment of CAP. Ceftaroline is well tolerated, which is consistent with the cephalosporin class's safety and tolerability profile. In this review, we will evaluate the microbiological properties, pharmacological features, efficacy, safety, and tolerability of ceftaroline in the treatment of CAP.

Keywords: Ceftaroline, MRSA, CAP, efficacy.

Authors: Widyadharma I Putu Eka , Supriadhiana I Gede
Published: December 2022

Background: Fibromyalgia (FM) is a pain syndrome with manifestations of chronic musculoskeletal pain of non-articular were spread widely without being discovered abnormalities in the musculoskeletal system. In addition to widespread pain, patients with FM often experience other troublesome symptoms, such as fatigue, sleep disorders, and cognitive disorders; other specific pain conditions such as chronic headache. Frequently used therapies for treating FM are duloxetine, milnacipran, and pregabalin. Duloxetine is an antidepressant drug that belongs to the SNRI (serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors) class of drugs. The analgesic effect of duloxetine is believed to be the result of increased serotonin (5-HT) and noradrenaline (NA) activity in the central nervous system (CNS), by increasing the inhibition of pain pathways in the CNS and spinal cord.
Methods: We conducted a system-based, computer-based literature search on 8 January 2020. We looked for literature relating to the effectiveness of duloxetine on pain management on FM, using keywords, fibromyalgia, pain, painful, management, therapy, treatment, duloxetine and SNRI.
Results: Of the 5 papers that can be used in this review article, the sample population was 732 with FM and was treated with duloxetine. All studies show duloxetine can reduce pain scores and have a side effect that is mostly nausea and headache.
Conclusion: Duloxetine can be used to reduce the pain suffered by FM patients and should also be prepared for other treatments to deal with the effects of arising.

The Effect of Cutting Speed on the Wear and Tear of Dormer A100 Brazil Drill Bit Applied to Gray Cast Iron
Authors: R. Harahap Muksin , Nasution Abdul Haris , Napid Suhardi
Published: December 2022

Drilling is the process of making holes by pressing a rotating drill bit on the workpiece. During the machining process there is interaction between the drilling bit and the workpiece in the drill bit of the workpiece with a hole while the drill bit undergoes friction. Such a friction comes from the chipped surface that flows on the surface of the workpiece that has been cut; as a result, the tool wears out. The wear of the drill bit that occurs due to friction between the drill bit and the workpiece needs to be examined so that the extent of the wear and tear is known. The purpose of this study was to determine wear on the Dormer A100 Brazil drill bit with size (8 mm), rotation speed (260 rpm, 375 rpm and 710 rpm). Tool wear data was collected using a microscope with a magnification of 20x. Tool wear is seen three times during the drilling and the machining process. The result obtained is that the higher the cutting speed, the bigger the wear occurs.

Authors: Ketut Umiati Ngurah Ayu , Facta Mochammad
Published: December 2022

Lightning strikes on transmission lines often triggers electrical blackout. A direct lightning strike to the ground wire or the structure of tower makes voltage rise along the tower and the voltage stress appear along the installed string insulators at the tower. A back flashover occurs as the voltage along the string insulator exceeds the maximum insulator withstand. Most of previous works carried out the impact of lightning strike for conventional tower with single voltage and maximum two circuits. In this report, the assignment was carried out by modelling the quadruple circuit dual voltage tower model. The tower carries two circuits with 500kV and other two circuits with 150kV working voltage. In this work, an approach to estimate passive element of tower impedance surge was implemented and then it is followed by several experiments through a simulations program to investigate to determine voltage stress of each stage of tower and the string insulations.

Published: December 2022

La COVID-19 es una patología ocasionada por el SARS-CoV-2, asociada a una respuesta inmune desregulada e hiperinflación, exacerbando el síndrome de dificultad respiratoria aguda e insuficiencia multiorgánica. El Tocilizumab (TCZ), es un anticuerpo monoclonal que inhibe el efecto de la interleucina-6 (IL-6), involucrada en procesos inflamatorios, fue aprobado inicialmente por la Agencia Europea de Medicamentos para el tratamiento de diferentes enfermedades reumáticas. La base de su prescripción en la COVID-19 es que los niveles elevados de IL-6 se asocian con la gravedad de la enfermedad; por tanto, su uso podría ser una alternativa terapéutica. El objetivo de este manuscrito fue realizar una revisión de la efectividad y seguridad del Tocilizumab en pacientes con COVID-19. Se usaron bases de datos como PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE y Scopus. Se incluyeron 15 estudios observacionales. La dosis administrada fue muy variable, en algunos estudios la dosis fue según el peso del paciente: (8 mg/kg hasta un máximo de 800 mg), seguido de una segunda dosis después de 12 horas, en otros se administraron dosis única de 400 mg u 800 mg. El tratamiento de soporte fue: hidroxicloroquina, azitromicina, lopinavir/ritonavir, remdesivir, en otros fue corticosteroides, metilprednisolona, heparina, entre otros fármacos. En general los estudios fueron heterogéneos, tenían limitaciones metodológicas, concluyendo que el TCZ en pacientes con COVID-19 no tiene utilidad, debido a que no existe diferencia significativa respecto a la reducción de la mortalidad entre los pacientes que recibieron TCZ y los que recibieron tratamiento de soporte.

For more than a century, the Slavonic manuscript and printed book collections have attracted attention of numerous Romanian and foreign specialists in the field of philology, history and other adjacent disciplines. The article presents some key points in the history of research of the old Slavonic book from the Bessarabian public collections. In introduction to this study we considered it appropriate to highlight the efforts of the specialists oriented towards common activity of putting various Slavonic manuscript and printed book collections of our country in the scientific circuit and description. The study is based on the collection of Slavonic books published in Lviv, Ostrog, Vilno, Grodno, Kyiv, kept by the National Library of the Republic of Moldova. In this research, the history and provenance of this collection is traced and some aspects related to their circulation in Bessarabia are explained. The presence in the Bessarabian space of the Slavonic books printed in Ukraine, Russia or Belarus confesses cross-cultural relations that existed between our country and those countries from which they came. Today this treasure is interesting to international Slavists and Byzantinologists, since some of these books are based on the translation of the Greek originals.

A dangerous and potentially fatal condition is a brain tumor. Early detection of this disease is critical for determining the best course of treatment. Tumor detection and classification by human inspection is a time consuming, error-prone task involving huge amounts of data. Computer-assisted machine learning and image analysis techniques have achieved significant results in image processing. In this study, we use supervised and deep learning classifiers to detect and classify tumors using the MRI images from the BRATS 2020 dataset. At the outset, the proposed system classifies images as healthy or normal brains and brain having tumorous growth. We employ four supervised machine learning classifiers SVM, Decision tree, Naïve Bayes and Linear Regression, for the binary classification. Highest accuracy (96%) was achieved with SVM and DT, with SVM giving a better Recall rate of 98%. Thereafter, categorization of the tumor as Pituitary adenoma, Meningioma, or Glioma, is performed using supervised (SVM, DT) classifiers and a 6-layer Convolution Neural Network. CNN performs better than the other classifiers, with a 93% accuracy and 92% recall rate. The suggested system is employable as a powerful decision-support tool to assist radiologists and oncologists in clinical diagnosis without requiring invasive procedures like a biopsy.

The scientific study linked to the physical, chemical, biological, and structural characterization of drugs along with their history of cultivation, collection and preparation for marketing and preservation, is defined as pharmacognosy. The cardinal routes of the entry of various infections into our body are our hands. The infection caused thereby causes a spectrum of diseases, especially in children. To get rid of such infections, regular washing of hands after specific time intervals holds imperative cognizance of getting rid of such infectious diseases. The handwash available in the local markets is mainly composed of various chemical compounds which might pose several threats to our skin. In this notion, the search for alternate components for handwash preparation that are organic in nature and do not cause any damage to our skin has been in the research limelight for the past few years. Accordingly, in this research, an attempt has been made to prepare a skin-friendly handwash containing the essential extracts of various ingredients like Aloe vera, turmeric, honey, tulsi, lemon, etc., and thereby their antimicrobial and antiseptic efficacy were evaluated. The basis of the evaluation was set using multivariate criteria like odour, colour, viscosity, pH, foam height and retention, and grittiness. Finally, the skin irritation test was also carried out along with a few other parameters to draw conclusions regarding the suitability of the handwash for human usage. The obtained results were found within the desired ranges without the presence of any adverse side effects. Thus, the proposed scheme of this study may be regarded as an excellent approach to combat the harmful effects of commercial chemicals containing handwash and, thereby, will be beneficial to various stakeholders.
Review on N-confused porphyrin

Published: December 2022

We all know how vital porphyrin is to our body, from binding haemoglobin and iron to carrying oxygen to our organs and tissues. Recently, there has been a discovery about a new isomer of porphyrin called N-confused porphyrin. Its chemistry is very different and exciting. From there, scientists have explored many corners of this confusion chemistry, from doubly confused coordination to its supramolecular architecture, it has an identical backbone structure as porphyrin (1,1,1,1). NCP, on the other hand, has an additional pyrrolic moiety called a "confused pyrrole" that is linked to the surrounding meso-carbons at the α and β-positions. The position of pyrrolic N-H and β-CH are shifted as a result of this unusual linkage. Resulting, NCP contains an NNNC core and an outward-pointing N atom. When a metal is co-ordinated in the core, a kind of organometallic complex having a carbon-metal bond is formed. On the other hand, the peripheral nitrogen atom serves as a H-bonding donor/acceptor and a metal coordination site.

Published: December 2022

The study was conducted to examine determinants of life insurance development in Tanzania where by inflation rate, interest rates, income level, domestic savings and financial depth as independents variables while life insurance development specified by premium written was a dependent variable. The study guided by, the ex post facto research design. The study population consist the whole macroeconomic environment where sample of five aspects named interest rates, income level, domestic savings, financial depth and inflation rate selected with coverage of twenty-three (23) years from 1996 to 2018. The study employed a purposeful sampling technique to select five aspects of macroeconomic factors. The study employed secondary data pooled from the Tanzania Insurance Regulatory Authority (TIRA), Bank of Tanzania (BOT) and National Bureau of Statistics (NBS). Basing on the hypotheses testing the study found that financial depth and interest rate have a statistically positive influence on life insurance development. Moreover, inflation rate, income level and domestic savings have a statistically negative influence on life insurance development at 5% significant level. The study findings provide insights from a practical point of view on the determinants of life insurance development in developing countries like Tanzania, thus filling the gap in the literature reviews. The study findings serve as guidance to regulators and policymakers on what set of factors to review and incorporate into policy in order to foster positive development of life insurance in Tanzania.
Антропологические материалы из Хошбулага (Азербайджанская Республика)
Authors: Кириченко Дмитрий
Published: December 2022

В научный оборот вводятся краниологические материалы из Дашкесанского района. Новизной данной статьи является то, что предпринята попытка изучить и объединить антропологические материалы из этого горного региона Азербайджана, а также были проведены палеопатологические исследования, которые выявили интересные особенности древнего населения. Всего было изучено четыре черепа: три мужских (к. № 4. п. 3, каменный ящик № 8, погребение 21) и один женский (могила № 2). Палеоантропологический материал относится к периоду поздней бронзы–раннего железа (Ходжалы-Кедабекская археологическая культура) и датируется концом II – началом I тыс. до н.э. Вероятно, мужские черепа из к. № 4, п. 3, каменного ящика № 8 и женский череп из могилы № 2 принадлежали представителям южной ветви европеоидной расы и относились к каспийскому антропологическому типу. Мужской череп из каменного ящика № 8 принадлежал представителю смешанного антропологического типа (каспийский + кавкасионский). На женском черепе из могилы № 2 отмечена символическая трепанация. Из патологий на черепах отмечены: button osteoma, поротический гиперостоз, следы воздействия холодового стресса, травма (компрессионный перелом) на лобной кости, os bregmaticum, os lambdoidea, множественные button osteoma (остеоматоз черепа, возможно, синдром Гарднера), прижизненная потеря и стертость зубов, сильный абсцесс.
