Authors: De Rooij MJ , Rampen FH , Schouten LJ , Neumann HA.
Published: June 2023

We surveyed the demographic profile and motives prompting to participate among people attending voluntary melanoma screening clinics in Southern Limburg, the Netherlands, in June 1993. Precampaign public announcements addressed only melanoma and its precursor lesions. All attendees completed a detailed questionnaire addressing demographic particulars and specific fixed choice questions on their motivation to attend. There were 4,146 persons attending the screening clinics. Most attendees opted for examination of a specific lesion (71%). More females than males participated. Fear of having skin cancer was an important reason to participate (27%). Of all attenders, 16% had to be convinced by relatives or friends to attend the screens, and 33% would not have visited a physician on their own initiative when there had not been a free screening. Females were more concerned about skin cancer than males. The local and regional newspapers formed the most important precampaign publicity channel. Free melanoma screenings attract large numbers of people. Males are underrepresented. They are less aware of the risk profile of melanoma. Future screenings should target the male population.

Provocation of porphyria cutanea tarda by KUVA-therapy of vitiligo.
Authors: Jansen T , Megahed M , Hölzle E , Plewig G
Published: June 2023

Therapy with khellin and UVA irradiation (KUVA) is a therapeutic approach to vitiligo. Little is known about the photobiological properties of khellin and its long-term side-effects after prolonged administration. A 47-year-old woman suffering from acral vitiligo since the age of 3 is reported, who developed blisters on hands and fingers during KUVA-therapy. Laboratory findings were consistent with hereditary porphyria cutanea tarda. Electron microscopic examination of a blister revealed clefting below the basement membrane. It is proposed that khellin in some way provoked the porphyria cutanea tarda in this patient.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the immunomodulatory action of Biofield Energy Healing (the Trivedi Effect®) Treatment to the animals and to the novel proprietary test formulation in tri-nitro benzene sulphonic acid (TNBS)-induced male Sprague Dawley rats. The test formulation consists of minerals (zinc, magnesium, iron, and copper) and vitamins (B6 , B12, and D3 ). Each ingredient of the test formulation was divided into two parts. One part was denoted as the control without any Biofield Energy Healing Treatment, while the other part was defined as the Biofield Energy Treated sample, which received the Biofield Energy Healing Treatment by a renowned Biofield Energy Healer, Mr. Mahendra Kumar Trivedi. Additionally, three group of animals were also received Biofield Energy Treatment per se under similar conditions. The cellular biomarkers like cluster of differentiation-4 (CD4+ ), CD8+ , and CD28+ , biochemistry and hematology along with histopathologic profile were evaluated. The percentage of CD4+ count was increased by 8.87% in the G6 (Biofield Energy Treatment per se at day -15) group as compared to the untreated test formulation (G4) group. While the expression of CD8+ count was increased by 10.12% and 13.01% in the G6 and G7 (Biofield Energy Treated test formulation at day -15) groups, respectively as compared with the disease control (G2) group. Moreover, the level of CD28+ was significantly (p≤0.001) increased by 15.50% in the G5 (Biofield Energy Treated test formulation) group compared to the G2 group. In hematological analysis, platelet count was increased in the G7 by 8% compared with the G4. The level of uric acid was decreased by 40.47%, 13.8%, and 14.28% in the G6, G8 (Biofield Energy Treatment per se to animals plus Biofield Energy Treated test formulation at -15 day), and G9 (Biofield Energy Treatment per se to animals plus untreated test formulation) groups, respectively as compared with the G4 group. Histopathologic findings of all the tested groups did not show any abnormal findings with respect to the safe and nontoxic treatment strategies, which indicated that, the test formulation and Biofield Energy Treatment per se ameliorates colon inflammation in the TNBS-induced colitis rats by decreasing histopathologic lesions. Overall, the experimental data concluded that the Biofield Energy Treated test formulation showed considerable improved cellular and humoral immune response as compared with the untreated test formulation. Thus, the Trivedi Effect®-Biofield Energy Healing Treatment per se and the test formulation considerable improved cellular immune response, immunomodulatory effect, and gut health function.
Evolving COVID-19 Pandemic: The Lurking Dangers and Pillars of Hope
Authors: V Nikhra
Published: June 2023

Introduction-The Unrestrained Pandemic: The emergence of the novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2 in December 2019, has had led to COVID-19 pandemic with devastating consequences. COVID-19, as the disease has unique clinical manifestations which are distinctive, yet bizarre. As the pandemic is spreading, the virus is continuing to evolve. In fact, this process of evolution is a continuum, allowing the virus to adapt to its environment by selecting mutations that make it replicate and transmit more efficiently. Lurking Dangers-The Evolving Variants: So far, Sars-CoV-2 has infected over million people worldwide and taken on many thousands of mutations. Most of those changes are slow and inconsequential evolutionary dead ends, but can potentially become more transmissible, more virulent, or more resistant to immune response to become unresponsive to the vaccines. Keeping ahead of the pace at which variants are evolving and influencing disease transmission and severity will be key issue for the coming phase of the pandemic. The Pillars of Hope-The Covid-19 Vaccines: The vaccination remains the most effective tool for protecting from COVID-19. New insights into the functioning of the immune system have made possible the rapid development of new vaccines to combat the raging pandemic and the pathogen and its variants. The vaccines provide us with much-needed hope for the COVID-19 prophylaxis as well as tools to limit the disease severity. World over, the major challenge is to provide equitable access to effective vaccines for masses. Conclusion-The Future Covid-19 Scenario: The researchers as well as medical community agree that the vaccination should be continued with the available vaccines. In general, the vaccines induce a more powerful immune response than a natural infection and the mass immunization is crucial to curb the spread of infection, break the transmission-infection cycle and retard the evolution of new variants as well. The on-going COVID-19 pandemic is a reminder of the need to prioritise health over other aspects of human life, as well.

A Case Report of Simultaneous Bilateral Upper Limb CT Angiography
Authors: Zafar Waseem
Published: June 2023

Diabetes mellitus leads to accelerated development of athermanous plaques in the arteries, which can lead to ischemia especially of the distal parts of the limbs, namely the fingers and digits. Bilateral upper limb ischemia is however an infrequently reported complication of patients with diabetes mellitus as compared to the lower limbs. However, it can have devastating consequences for the patient including ischemic necrosis and subsequent amputation of the fingers. Angiography is often required to assess the extent of the disease and to decide further management. CT angiography is a less invasive and effective method of assessment of vascular compromise. We are reporting a case where we performed bilateral upper limb CT angiography simultaneously to minimize the radiation burden to the patient and the potential for renal damage. The contrast was injected using a vein of the lower limb and bilateral athermanous plaques in the arteries visualized in a single scan.

Authors: Vyas Piyush
Published: June 2023

Background: Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia (CLL) is a common haematological malignant neoplasm that is characterized by proliferation of clonal B-cell lymphocytes and infiltration of blood, lymph nodes, spleen and bone marrow. Autoimmune Hemolytic Anaemia (AIHA) is a medical condition in which patient’s red blood cells are being destructed by immune system through antibodies leading to red blood cell lysis. Venetoclax is a novel BCL-2 selective inhibitor introduced amongst patients with CLL refractory to standard treatment lines. Common adverse events in Venetoclax treatment are: neutropenia, thrombocytopenia and diarrhea. Case Report: The following case study presents 60-year-old female patient that developed an autoimmune hemolytic anemia after introducing Venetoclax for CLL diagnosed nearly 13 years before and treated with many other treatment lines. AIHA was resolved after withdrawing Venetoclax and being treated with steroids, Rituximab and plasmapheresis. After that, Venetoclax was reintroduced with carefully monitored hemolysis markers as well as maintaining steroids and Rituximab treatment with good results. Conclusion: Although AIHA caused by Venetoclax is still not mentioned by producer’s summary of product characteristic (sPC), it is valuable for clinicians to have the knowledge that such adverse event may occur (diagnosed after eliminating other causes) and how it can be handled based on experiences of fellow clinicians.

Authors: Gorbounova Vera
Published: June 2023

The Incidence of NETs has increased 6,4 - fold over the last 40 years. This growth is noted by statistics from most countries of the world. This is due to both improved diagnosis and the actual increase in this type of disease. Russia according to 2017 data had the largest population and largest number of registered NET patients among the incomplete list of European countries as well as the second place regarding the prevalence of NETs. From 2017 to 2019 the number of NET patients included in the National Cancer Registry of the Russian Federation has increased from 21 668 NET patients (prevalence - 14.75 per 100,000 population) to 25,782. In 2019, the prevalence of NETs was 17.54 per 100,000 population. If over a 10- year period (2010 -2019) the number of patients with malignant tumors followed-up in oncology dispensaries has increased by 40.6%, the number of patients with confirmed diagnosis of neuroendocrine tumors increased by 83.9%. The number of newly identified cases of NETs increased much more intensively than number of all malignant tumor during the same period also: in 2019, the number of newly identified cases was 1.8-fold larger than it had been in 2010 - respectively 7,623 and 4,198 cases. The increase in the incidence of NETs has been 3.5-fold larger than the increase in the total number of cases of malignant tumors. The article presents the results of the analysis of the data of the state cancer registry and separately shows the results of the register of the medical society for the treatment of neuroendocrine tumors (MOLNEO).

Authors: Astuti Trina
Published: June 2023

Backgrounds: World Health Assembly stated that 41% of infants less than 6 months are exclusively breastfed, whereas the global rate target is at least 50% by 2025. Indonesia’s rate of exclusive breastfeeding was 68.7% in 2018. Rate of exclusive breastfeeding can be affected by many factors for instance level of knowledge and socioeconomic status. One of the government’s attempts to increase the rate of exclusive breastfeeding is setting a regulation regarding the provision of lactation room for instance in Minister of Health Regulations Act 15 of 2013 Regarding Procedures for Provision of Breastfeeding and/or Pumping Breast’s Milk Facilities . Objectives: To analyze the usage of lactation room effectiveness in malls as a supporting factors of exclusive breastfeeding. Methods: An evaluative research in four malls in Central Jakarta with 57 subjects. Data were collected through interview and observation. Fisher-exact test were used to analyze bivariate analysis. Results: All shopping centers provide lactation rooms, but only 50% meet the requirements and standards. The number of visitors to the mall in the past week was 5000 people and only 263 (5.3%) used the lactation room with an average duration of 20 minutes. Most of the users (78.3%) were babysitters and the rest were mothers with the characteristics are 70.2% vocational and tertiary education, 75.4 is working, 45.6% middle socioeconomic class. The use of the lactation room is 40% and bellow and less effective. Almost mothers of babies have a good level of knowledge about exclusive breastfeeding. There is a relationship between the level of knowledge with the level of education (p= 0.006), employment status (p= 0.020), and socioeconomic status (p= 0.040).

Published: June 2023

Cationic dyes such as methylene blue are among the most widely used dye in the textile and paper industry. The dye waste produced causes environmental pollution and is harmful to human health. Thus, wastewater treatment becomes an important aspect of reducing this problem. Adsorption is a very effective method for treating various wastewaters due to its high selectivity and capacity. This study aims to prepare an adsorbent from graft copolymer acrylamide onto cellulose with the addition of activated carbon microwave-assisted and to test its performance as an adsorbent for methylene blue. The adsorbent synthesis was carried out using a microwave-assisted graft copolymer technique. The graft of acrylamide onto cellulose with the addition of activated carbon was carried out at various times (3, 4, and 5 minutes). Based on the FTIR spectra characterization of the adsorbent, the functional groups are C=O and N-H, and SEM analysis shows that the surface forms an interconnected network. At 3, 4, and 5 minutes of irradiation, grafting ratios were 329.72, 128.00, and 150.12, with grafting efficiency of 99.74, 72.94, and 78.02%. The maximum adsorption capacity of the adsorbent on methylene blue was 14.00, 6.04, and 9.97 mg/g, respectively, following the Langmuir isotherm model and pseudo second order kinetics. The experimental results show that the adsorbent can effectively remove or eliminate methylene blue in an aqueous solution.

Published: June 2023

Nature-inspired technology has been investigated widely. Anti biofouling properties of fish scale has inpired to improve membrane performance. Biofouling affects an oil-water separation membrane. The bacterial, coagulant, and hydrophobic oils attach to the membrane surface, demanding periodic cleaning. To overcome the problems, surface modification materials are introduced namely superoleophobic surface. The superoleophobic surface promises antifouling, high flux, and high separation efficiency. Superoleophobic surfaces are inspired by the scales on fish that form a hydrogel-like layer on their surface. The hydrogel repels oil and any organic materials, keeping the surface clean. The hydrogel of fish scales can be mimicked by cellulose-based materials. A dense layer of hydroxyl groups absorbs a lot of water and forms a hydrogel bond. The membrane with the cellulose hydrogel-like structure will perform a superoleophobic characteristic surface. The characteristic can be utilized as a functional membrane for oil-water separation. This article reviews the principle, mechanism, current development, and future challenges of bioinspired superoleophobic surfaces from cellulose-based materials for membrane applications.

Published: June 2023

Illegal gold mining carried out using amalgamation techniques produce mercury waste which can then damage the environment and damage the health of residents. The negative impact due to the use of mercury is dead fish, contaminated river water, water quality below environmental standard quality and spreading in the food chain. This has caused environmental damage, one of which is in terms of land and water. This condition is the basis for conducting deeper research on environmental damage by mercury waste, especially in terms of soil and water. The sampling method used is the Geochemical Method and Geoelectric Method. Geoelectric samples were taken using the superstring R8 tool. Geochemical samples used were soil and water samples which were subsequently tested by the Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS) and X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) methods to see the mercury levels that had been scattered in the research location. The study aims to determine the distribution of mercury waste and its levels. This research includes sampling, sample testing, data processing and analysis, and making maps of the distribution of mercury waste through QGis software. From the study, it was found that the distance from the traditional gold mining processing location determines the concentration level (Hg). Analysis using AAS shows that there were 13 samples had mercury concentrations above the critical threshold. From the analysis, it is also known that AAS could not detect mercury levels in soil samples which is different from the results obtained using XRF.

Today, the association of gut microbiota with external genital endometriosis (EGE) is of special scientific interest. The study was aimed to assess alterations of the gut microbiota taxonomic composition and explore their correlations with plasma levels of IL6, IL8 and TNFα at the species level in patients with EGE. The crosssectional comparative study involved 50 patients with EGE (index group) and 50 healthy women (control group). The changes in the gut microbiota taxonomic composition and plasma levels of IL6, IL8 and TNFα were assessed. A significant decrease in the abundance of such species, as Coprococcus catu (р = 0.009), Turicibacter sanguinis (р = 0.008) and Ruminococcus gnavus (р < 0.001), along with the increase in the abundance of Eubacterium ramulus (р = 0.040), Bacterioides dorei (р = 0.001), Prevotella divia (р = 0.008) and Shigella flexneri (р < 0.001) were found in the gut microbiota taxonomic composition in patients with EGE. Significant correlations between the IL6 levels and the abundance of Turicibacter sanguinis (r = –0.92; р = 0.001), IL8 levels and the abundance of Shigella flexneri (r = 0.72; р < 0.001), TNFα levels and the abundance of Prevotella divia (r = 0.77; р = 0.001) were revealed. The findings add to the available literature data on the features of gut microbiota alterations and their association with some inflammation biomarkers in individuals with EGE, which can justify further research in this area and probably open up new approaches to treatment of the disease.

In this paper, we use MHOGA software for the evaluation of a hydrogen generation system powered by wind turbines. We study the state of the art of the electrolyzers, obtaining the most important characteristics and costs of PEM electrolyzers. The optimization of a Wind-H2 system is performed, obtaining the best combination of components (wind turbines and electrolyzer) and control strategy for the hydrogen production. We will compare to the Wind-only system (wind farm which injects all the electricity produced to the gird). Two cases have been evaluated regarding the electricity price: Spanish SPOT price of 2019 and of 2021, with an expected increase of 1% annual. The Wind-H2 system can be competitive to the Wind-only system if the hydrogen sale price is 4.8 €/kg for the case of 2019 SPOT prices and 6.7 €/kg for the case of 2021 SPOT prices, considering 1% annual increase in the SPOT prices and 2% for the hydrogen price.
An Equivalent Voltage Index to Quantify the Impact of Harmonics on Shunt Capacitors
Authors: Tian Yu  , Jing Yong  , Wilsun Xu
Published: June 2023

Harmonic distortions are known to affect the normal operation and life of power equipment. Shunt capacitor is one piece of equipment that is very sensitive to harmonics. Although limits have been established to limit the harmonic distortions experienced by a capacitor, methods to quantify the harmonic impact with easy-to-understand indices are still at large. This paper aims to address the above gap by proposing an equivalent voltage index. This index is to represent the impact of harmonic voltages and their features (such as peak value) into an equivalent increase in the fundamental frequency voltage otherwise experienced by the capacitor. The main advantage of such an equivalence is that PQ and non-PQ engineers can easily relate the impact to the general capacitor loading concept. The index is especially helpful to understand the impact of harmonics on capacitor and thus to justify harmonic mitigation projects.

This paper presents a case study for rooftop PV system mounted on corporate building of Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) HQ with a capacity of 277KWp. By collecting the generation data of the PV system along with the electrical loads of the building for the year 2021, the data showed that the amount of energy produced from the system, which was directly fed to the loads is about 404.8 MWh. Accordingly, the contribution rate of the PV system generation to energy consumption was calculated to be about 15.7% of the loads of the entire building, which totaled about 2547.8 MWh. The study showed that there is an excess of electrical energy produced from these solar panels. The system is programmed through the inverter to keep the production of solar panels equal or less than the electrical loads which is connected to due to the absence of the regulation for connecting PV systems with the electric grid at that time. The excess energy of PV generation was calculated as 478.5 MWh. Hence, the surplus energy is 69.1 MWh representing approximately 15% of the calculated PV generation. The study covered the economic perspective for the system by estimating the levelized cost of energy and payback period to be LCOE= 0.33 SR/kWh = 0.088 USD/kWh and Payback period= 23.9 years respectively.

The juvenile justice system as a legal efforcement to guarantee the rights of children who conflict with the law. The mechanism for the criminal justice system against children is carried out through diversion involving judicial officials. However, problems arise in enforcing the criminal justice system for children engaged in Jinayah cases. It is because the Jinayah case must obey the qanun implemented in Aceh. The punishment given to the perpetrators of Jinayah can be in the form of flogging or imprisonment. For a child, that punishment can be traumatic for the child’s mental health. Therefore, this research will examine various efforts to minimize the impact of this punishment on the psychological development of children who become perpetrators of Jinayah. The problem of this study is how a child can maintain his psychological health after becoming a perpetrator of Jinayah. This research is essential to protect children’s psychological development as perpetrators of Jinayah. The purpose of this study is to find various efforts to maintain the mental development of children as perpetrators of Jinayah. Thus, the research method used to answer these problems is qualitative with a normative approach and literature study. The normative research will analyze various legal regulations regarding criminal and Jinayah acts. Then, it will support a literature study to gain a comprehensive and depth understanding of the topic of study. The results are that children as perpetrators of Jinayah have a risk of psychological trauma, and juvenile criminal law needs to be strengthened. Strengthening this law can be in the form of harmonizing the diversion of children with the Jinayah law. The cooperation of various parties, namely, law enforcement officials, social workers, and indigenous peoples, can minimize the risk of child psychological trauma.
