Authors: Rehman Muhammad Zohaib , Noor Khushbakht , Bashir Muhammad Shahid , Kamran Muhammad
Published: June 2024

This study aimed to determine the prevalence of white coat hypertension (WCH) compared to home-based blood pressure (BP) measurements and assess anxiety levels among individuals with WCH using the Beck Anxiety Inventory. An observational cross-sectional study was conducted from March 2021 to April 2022 on individuals visiting the Outpatient Departments (OPDs) of Khyber Teaching Hospital, Peshawar. In-hospital and home BP recordings were performed, and anxiety levels were assessed using the Beck Anxiety Inventory. A sample size of 213 normotensive individuals was selected using a non-probability convenience sampling technique. Data were collected using structured questionnaires, analyzed using IBM SPSS version 26 and MS Excel 2019, and presented in tables and charts. Among the 213 respondents aged 14-67 years, comprising 164 (77%) males and 49 (23%) females, 22 (10.3%) exhibited BP readings above 140/90 in the OPD, indicative of WCH, while registering normal readings below 140/90 at home. The Beck anxiety index scores of these 22 individuals revealed varying degrees of anxiety, with 2 (9.1%) classified as Minimal, 6 (27.3%) as mild, 12 (54.5%) as Moderate, and 2 (9.1%) as severe anxiety. The prevalence of WCH underscores its clinical significance in predicting prehypertension, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), and target organ damage. However, the propensity for labile BP in clinical environments may lead to misinterpretation, prompting unnecessary pharmacological interventions and exacerbating physical, mental, and financial distress for patients. Thus, widespread education on WCH among healthcare professionals and the public is crucial. Additionally, home-based BP measurements and ambulatory BP monitoring are advocated as preferred alternatives to mitigate the potential risks associated with WCH.

Authors: Arrais Teresa Maria Siqueira Nascimento , Bezerra Diogo Pereira
Published: June 2024

Busca-se compreender a trajetória do ruralismo pedagógico no Brasil, entender como ocorreu o desenvolvimento histórico e social do ruralismo pedagógico, contribuir para preservação da história do ruralismo pedagógico no Brasil e analisar a importância de uma escola primária no meio rural, já que as condições de vida no campo exigem uma educação diferenciada. O trabalho se fundamenta no método de pesquisa documental. Referindo-se ao ruralismo pedagógico, este desenvolveu e estabeleceu uma proposta de formação do trabalhador rural a partir da ideia de reassentar o homem do campo por meio da pedagogia. Assim, as propostas apoiadas pelo movimento rural giravam em torno de três componentes fundamentais de diferentes formações: professores, métodos de ensino e currículo. A ideia de criar, no meio rural, uma escola primária diferente da escola urbana significava delimitar os conteúdos que até então eram disponibilizados a todas as crianças brasileiras.
Structure and Substrate Recognition of the Escherichia coli Transport Protein NupG from the Nucleoside: H+ Symporter (NHS) Family
Authors:   School of Biomedical Sciences (Astbury Building), University of Leeds, Leeds LS2 9JT, UK, Patching Simon G.
Published: June 2024

The nucleoside transporter NupG is one of the two principal transport proteins in the inner membrane of Escherichia coli that enable the organism to scavenge nucleosides from its external environment. NupG functions in a symport manner driven by the proton motive force and is a member of the Nucleoside:H+ Symporter (NHS) subfamily of the Major Facilitator Superfamily (MFS) of transporters. NupG has broad substrate specificity, transporting all naturally occurring purine and pyrimidine nucleosides. In studies over many years the nupG gene has been cloned and amplified, and the NupG protein has been purified, subjected to biochemical, biophysical and computational analysis, and its X-ray structure determined in the apo state at 3.0 Å resolution. The NupG structure had a typical MFS fold with twelve transmembrane spanning α-helices and distinct N- and C-terminal domains linked by a flexible loop. Preliminary site-directed mutagenesis and molecular docking studies on NupG identified nine putative nucleoside binding pocket residues (R136, T140, F143, Q225, N228, Q261, E264, Y318, F322) and a mutant (D323A) with 20-fold enhanced uridine binding activity. Further biochemical and structural investigations are necessary to better understand the substrate recognition and molecular mechanism of E. coli NHS family proteins (NupG, XapB, YegT).

The Orticochea flap, a multi-flap closure technique, is a recent addition to the field of reconstructive surgery. It is a safe and acceptable alternative for scalp reconstruction, as it can cover a skin and bone defect with local full-thickness skin, reducing the length of the procedure. The technique is particularly useful for rehabilitating cranium and frontal abnormalities, as it provides an appropriate blood supply and increases the surface area for closure. The orticochea flap is particularly suitable for significant frontal or vertex defects, no prior radiation exposure, and no hairline distortion.
Stevens Johnson Syndrome and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis Updates on Management
Authors:   ISSSTE Dr Santiago Ramón y Cajal, Carrillo Daniela Guerrero
Published: June 2024

Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS) and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN) are dermatologic emergencies characterized by extensive epidermal necrolysis and sloughing. The incidence rates vary depending on location, with the UK experiencing an annual incidence of 5.76 cases per million individuals from 1995 to 2013. Females are more frequently afflicted than males, with mortality rates ranging from 4.8-9% to 14.8-48%. Nonpharmacologic treatment for SJS/TEN patients includes supportive care, fluid and electrolyte management, infection control, and wound care. The most critical component is the identification and cessation of the causative substance. Management of fluid, electrolytes, and nutrition is crucial for SJS/TEN patients, as they have lower fluid requirements than burn patients. Prophylactic antibiotics do not enhance outcomes, but infection prevention requires appropriate wound care and antiseptic handling. The role of surgical debridement has been a topic of controversy, and the decision to pursue this treatment option depends on the location of care. Anti-shear therapy, which involves aspiration of blister fluid and preservation of denuded epidermis, has been shown to be effective in reducing mortality rates. Pharmacologic treatment for SJS/TEN has been the subject of few prospective studies due to the disease's rarity. Various treatment regimens involving corticosteroids, IVIg, cyclosporine, and TNF-alpha inhibitors have been reported, but it is challenging to determine whether the disease's remission was due to a specific treatment or the natural course of the disease.
Stevens Johnson Syndrome Review

Published: June 2024

Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS) and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN) are dermatologic emergencies that are distinguished by extensive epidermal necrolysis and sloughing. The incidence rates are location-dependent. Mortality rates vary from 4.8-9% to 14.8-48%, with females being more frequently affected than males. Supportive care, infection control, wound care, and fluid and electrolyte management comprise nonpharmacologic treatment for SJS/TEN patients. The identification and cessation of the causative substance are the most critical components. The management of fluid, electrolytes, and nutrition is essential for SJS/TEN patients, as they have lower fluid requirements than burn patients. Prophylactic antibiotics do not improve outcomes; however, infection prevention necessitates appropriate wound care and antiseptic handling. The decision to pursue surgical debridement is contingent upon the location of care, and the function of this treatment option has been a subject of controversy. Anti-shear therapy, which entails the preservation of denuded epidermis and the aspiration of blister fluid, has been demonstrated to be effective in decreasing mortality rates. The disease's rarity has resulted in a scarcity of prospective studies on pharmacologic treatment for SJS/TEN. There have been reports of a variety of treatment regimens that involve corticosteroids, IVIg, cyclosporine, and TNF-alpha inhibitors. However, it is difficult to ascertain whether the disease's remission was caused by a specific treatment or the natural course of the disease. Studies have demonstrated that supportive care and cyclosporine have the potential to serve as alternative treatments for SJS/TEN. A meta-analysis of 10 studies revealed that patients who received cyclosporine had a survival advantage, while a meta-analysis of 67 studies revealed that the combination of corticosteroids and IVIg resulted in statistically significant improvements in outcomes. The severity of illness scores in patients with SJS/TEN overlap or TEN was reduced by plasmapheresis, which entails plasmapheresis and corticosteroids. In 86.8% of patients, TNF-alpha inhibitors have also demonstrated positive outcomes, despite their immunosuppressive properties. Nevertheless, the most effective pharmacological treatment for SJS/TEN must be determined by taking into account practical factors, such as cost. There is a lack of consensus regarding the most effective treatment, and additional research is required to ascertain the most effective treatment.

Restoring defects in the lower eyelids, particularly those that extend beyond two-thirds, can be challenging, especially after tumor resection. Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common form of skin cancer, affecting the lower eyelid and inner canthus. Grafts are often combined with flaps for replacing the posterior lamella or anterior lamella. The Mustardé rotational cheek flap is a popular choice for reconstructing the anterior lamella of the lower eyelid, as it meets the basic requirements of an ideal cutaneous flap. This wide-based pedicle flap can support free grafts needed to line the inside of the flap. Other autogenous grafts, such as labial mucosa, hard palate mucoperiosteum, auricular cartilage, and nasoseptal cartilage, have also been used in eyelid reconstruction. However, hard palate mucosa transplants provide uniformity and can be expensive. Hughes procedures are not suitable for individuals with amblyogenic age or one-seeking eyes. Combining a vascular flap with a superior graft like pericranium may provide a viable surgical option for enduring functional and aesthetic outcomes.

Right pleural empyema is one of the rare complications in liver abscess. This condition is life-threatening as it causes breathing difficulties and requires immediate life-saving. This case report aims to diagnose and manage empyema in a male patient with a liver abscess in a limited diagnostic setting. Methods: According to medical records, a 44-year-old man came to the emergency room (ER) of Umbu Rara Meha General Hospital with complaints of shortness of breath that had been getting worse for two months, accompanied by a cough with phlegm for one week, fever, and weight loss. The patient also complained of pain in the right upper abdomen for the last four months. History of pulmonary tuberculosis, diabetes mellitus, or hypertension was denied. The patient is not a smoker. On physical examination, there was an increase in the frequency of breathing and a decrease in the vesicular sounds on the right side. Right thorax X-ray examination revealed massive right pleural effusion without pulmonary infiltrates. Abdominal ultrasound showed a liver abscess. Emergency pleural puncture was performed in the ER, and 1600 cc of purulent pleural fluid was removed, followed by Water Sealed Draignase (WSD) installation. The patient was given intravenous broad-spectrum antibiotics and treated for 12 days. Conclusion: Empyema can be a rare but life-threatening complication of liver abscess. Medical action must be taken immediately in the ER to save the patient. Delaying pus drainage can increase morbidity and mortality rates.

Aims and scope. This research aims to know the legal status of shares in a limited liability company if the shareholder's whereabouts are unknown in the case of PT APCKP and PT Sun Toy and to analyze the concept of transferring shares in a limited liability company if the shareholder's whereabouts are unknown which provides legal certainty. Method. The form of prescriptive research with statutory and conceptual approaches, using normative juridical methods where the legal materials used are sourced from laws and regulations, books, legal writings and journals, as well as dictionaries or encyclopedias. Using a qualitative method of analysis by interpreting the legal materials that have been processed. The results of the research show that (1) Unknown shareholders in a PT have implications for the existence and validity of the PT, in this case disrupting the quorum at the RUPS, transferring shares becomes difficult because approval from unknown shareholders cannot be obtained, hampering the process of dissolving the PT, and can affect the ownership and control structure of the PT. The request through the court for the unknown shareholder to be determined in a state of absence (afwezigheid) made by PT APCKP and PT Sun Toy, does not provide legal certainty because the concept of absence (afwezigheid) cannot be applied in the case of transfer of rights to shares, which creates ambiguity and is prone to causing new legal problems;(2) KUHPerdata has regulated people whose whereabouts are unknown or have disappeared, in this case the Balai Harta Peninggalan will be appointed as the party that will manage the assets left by the owner. Furthermore, it has also regulated that property rights can be lost if they have expired, which is also adopted in the provisions of the UUPT 2007 regarding the expiration of profits (dividend). When looking at these two concepts, when applied in the transfer of rights to shares owned by unknown shareholders, the concept of expiration is more efficient and provides legal certainty compared to the concept of absence (afwezigheid).

Published: June 2024

Concrete is certainly the most widely used building material. Because concrete is prone to environmental changes, cracks easily. Even with the best grade materials and skilled labor, surface cracks in concrete are often inevitable. Concrete's strength and durability may deteriorate as a result of the cracks. The maintenance required to fix these cracks will be expensive. In order to eliminate these defects, the technique of self-healing is applied to the concrete. Hence, the present study is to determine the performance of the concrete byusing GGBS, Metakaolin, Bacteria and river sand as a fine aggregate. The present study focuses on optimal usage of GGBS and Metakaolin (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30) percent by weight of the cement in concrete and their effect on microbial concrete made of Bacillus Subtilis of concentration 105 cells/ml. The mechanical and durability properties of concrete for different mixes i.e., with bacteria and without bacteria in blended concrete determined by casting concrete cubes, cylinders and prisms respectively. The Results reveal promising improvements in strength and durability, highlighting the potential of incorporating bacterial agents as a sustainable solution in concrete technology.

Concrete, as one of the most widely used construction materials globally, poses both environmental and economic challenges due to its resource-intensive production and disposal. This study explores sustainable alternatives by investigating the incorporation of recycled aggregates (RA) and rice husk ash (RHA) as partial replacements for conventional aggregates and cement, respectively. Recycled aggregates, obtained from demolished structures, help reduce the depletion of natural resources and landfill waste. This study evaluates the mechanical properties, durability and workability of concrete mixes with varying proportions of recycled aggregates, providing insights into the optimal blend for achieving structural integrity. Rice husk ash, a waste product from rice milling, has pozzolanic properties that enhance the performance of concrete. By partially replacing cement with RHA, this research aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions during cement production while improving the overall durability of concrete. The study assesses the compressive strength, water permeability, and resistance to chemical attacks of RHA- blended concrete mixes. The results demonstrate the economic benefits of utilizing these sustainable materials are discussed, emphasizing the need for a balanced approach that considers both environmental and economic factors.

Brackish surface water is a challenge for mostestuarinecommunities to meet the water requirement for agricultural purposes. Desalination plantson the other hand,are costlyandenergy consuming method to run. This research compares the possible use of duckweed andwater hyacinth for their Phytodesalinationrates of brackish water. Three replicates containing about 100 g of each aquatic macrophytes in a trough with 10 litres of brackish water (salinity 7.69 ppt) were studied daily for 6 days. Electrical conductivity (EC), pH, total dissolved solids (TDS) and salinity were the measured water parameters thereafter, the treatment means were calculated. Results showed that maximum reductions of most of the water parameter were observed after 3 days of the research for both aquatic macrophytes. A reduction of EC by 16.4 %, TDS by 16.3 % and salinity by 20.7 % for duckweed while for water hyacinth, a reduction of EC by 20 %, TDS by 19 % and salinity by 29.1 % were observed. Thereafter, both aquatic macrophytes started showing signs of nutrient starvation and a reduced rate of desalination. This can be addressed by removingthe spent and wilting aquatic plantsand re-introducingfresh onesin 3 days intervalsuntil desalination is achieved. Anova shows that there was significant difference between pre-and post-treatment values at 95 %confidence level in EC for both duckweed and water hyacinth treatment and also in TDS and salinity for water hyacinth treatment. This suggests potency of water hyacinth in the desalination of brackish water for crop irrigation and other agricultural purposes.
