Authors: Khan Salman , Ali Zainab , Khadija Khadija , Junaid Massab
Published: January 2024

Solid-state diffusion bonding effectively joins dissimilar materials, even with varying metallurgical properties and melting points. In this study, a Cu/Ni joint was produced at a bonding temperature of 950°C for 60 minutes under a vacuum. The microstructural and mechanical properties of the bonding interface were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), microhardness tests, and X-ray diffraction (XRD). It was found that the EDS point scan analysis revealed the formation of a solid solution of Cu-Ni at the bonding interface. Since Cu-Ni exhibit complete solubility with each other, no intermetallic compounds (IMCs) were formed. The microhardness indicated that the bonding interface had a microhardness of 20% and 54% higher than the base metals (BM) of Ni and Cu, respectively.

Bone cement is a material used in many orthopedic surgeries. Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA) is one of the acrylic-based bone cement materials. PMMA will be mixed with an activator (N, N-Dimethyl-p-toluidine (DMPT)), initiator (Benzoyl Peroxide (BPO)), radiopacifier / filler (BaSO4), and Methyl Methacrylate monomer. Once the materials were mixed, the activator react with the initiator to form radicals and activate the bulk polymerization reaction between the MMA monomer and PMMA molecules. The bulk polymerization reaction occurs exothermically and increases the bulk temperature. Barium sulfate (BaSO4) is an inorganic compound that can be acted as both radiopacifier and filler in bone cement. The specific objective of this study was to describe the effect of BaSO4 in bone cement composite formation. The solid material; PMMA, BPO, and BaSO4 were mixed firstly. The liquid portions; N, N-Dimethyl-p-toluidine (DMPT), and MMA were mixed and then poured into the solids one in a stainless-steel bowl. The bulk temperature was recorded after a one-minute mixing process. The samples were characterized by Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). The highest setting temperature and setting time were 107.3°C and 10.6 min which was obtained in BaSO4 content variables of 7% and 11%, respectively. The average molecular weight of the samples was 561.5-1,332.0 kDa. From the DSC result, the glass temperature of the samples was 119.17-119.87°C.

To increase cohesiveness, toughness, impermeability, and adhesion strength in cementitious materials like mortars and concrete, vinyl acetate ethylene (VAE) copolymer redispersible powder (RDP) is used. However, due to numerous variety of material, choosing an original performing RDP is challenging. The goal of this study is to assess the bond strength to concrete surfaces of various redispersible polymer-modified cementitious coatings under various accelerated settings. The outcomes showed that the RDP backbone composition has a significant influence on the coatings' adhesion strength. Methyl methacrylate (MMA) and Vinyl chloride (VC) present as comonomers in RDP exhibit outstanding thermal stability and boost tensile adhesion strength by 41% and 21%, respectively, in comparison to other RDPs. According to SEM studies, the VC- RDP stimulates the formation of fibrous ettringite, producing a uniform and cohesive microstructure.

Published: January 2024

Nanoencapsulation technology has been used in food and pharmaceutical applications to increase bioactive chemical functioning and stability against external influences. To develop a cost-effective encapsulating procedure, additional optimization is required. This study employed response surface methodology (RSM) to optimize the encapsulation of anthocyanin-rich extract from black rice bran. The extract was encapsulated through pre-gelation and polyelectrolyte complex formation processes. Box-Behnken design was employed to determine the optimum conditions for the encapsulation process with the following process variables: chitosan concentration, pH, and CaCl2 concentration. Chemical characteristics, surface morphology, and particle size were used to describe the resultant capsules, which were then subjected to phytochemical analysis. The optimal encapsulation conditions for anthocyanin were 6.30 mg/mL chitosan, pH 5.5, and 36 mM CaCl2, with a 51.20 % encapsulation efficiency. The developed anthocyanin-loaded nanocapsule has a high TPC (3.87 mg GAE/g) and potent antioxidant activity (5.69 mg TE/g). SEM images revealed a smooth surface area and spherical particles that clumped together, with an average particle size of 94.70 nm. FTIR analysis corroborates the well-incorporation of anthocyanin into the nanocapsules. The encapsulation process of anthocyanin-rich extract from black rice bran was successfully optimized via RSM.

Published: January 2024

Copper and its salt are remarkably non-toxic to mammalian tissue. It is possible to ingest a large number of soluble copper salts such as copper sulphide to produce intoxication, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and abdominal cramp. Copper salts are widely employed in agriculture and veterinary practice. Copper is an essential trace element in life and is a component of several metalloenzymes and other proteins such as cytochrome oxidase, heamocyanin, lysin oxidase, ascorbate oxidase and amine oxidase. When copper is present in the body above a particular dosage of greater than 100ppm in rats, it becomes fatal to rats. Copper is transported by blood, and is distributed to tissue and organs which have different retention capacities with the highest level of copper found in the liver, kidney, spleen and lungs. This study investigated the toxicological effect of copper in the liver and kidney of animals, using albino rats as the experimental animal. The serum chemistry report showed that the protein value of the liver homogenate for most of the experimental rats was higher than that of the control whereas the value of globulin for the control was similar to that of the experimental rats. The kidney homogenate revealed that Calcium ion has higher contents in the experimental rats than that in the control. In conclusion, the effect of copper varies with the groups of rats as compared to the control.

Authors: Rida Ramy R. , Abdallah Abdallah B. , Helmy Ashraf A. , A. A. Abdelmotaleb
Published: January 2024

Background

Compared with elective operations, emergency abdominal surgery is more likely to result in perioperative morbidity and mortality. Implementation of care programs could be beneficial for such patients to decrease complication rates. Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) is a complex perioperative approach that has proven its efficacy in multiple elective procedures. Nonetheless, its efficacy in emergency abdominal surgery has been questioned. Herein, we compared the ERAS and conventional approaches in the management of such patients.

Patients and methods

Sixty adult patients were enrolled in our randomized prospective trial, and they were assigned to two groups; the conventional and ERAS groups. The duration of hospitalization was the main outcome.

Results

Preoperative characteristics, presentation, and surgical operations were comparable between the two study groups. A perforated duodenal ulcer was the most common diagnosis and was treated by through and through suture with the omental patch (36%) followed by resection anastomosis (36%) in patients with ischemic loop or patients with severely injured loops, and primary repair in simple injury (28%). The hospitalization period decreased significantly in ERAS patients (5.9 vs. 10.5 days in the conventional groupP<0.001). The ERAS protocol had a significant beneficial impact on postoperative recovery, which manifested in earlier nasogastric tube removal, drain removal, bowel sounds, bowel motion, and oral intake compared with the conventional group. The incidence of postoperative complications especially surgical site infection increased significantly with the conventional perioperative regimen (36.7% vs. 13.3% after ERASP=0.034).

Conclusion

ERAS has multiple advantages over the conventional approach when implemented in emergency surgery patients and is recommended in emergency surgical practice.
Impact of anterior component separation technique on lowering the incidence of abdominal wall dehiscence and incisional hernia after emergent laparotomy: a feasibility study
Authors: Aziz Mahmoud A. , Elghrieb Ahmed , Abdu Mohamed E. , Mahmoud Mohamed M.
Published: January 2024

Introduction

Abdominal wall dehiscence is one of the critical postoperative complications following abdominal surgeries. Emergency surgery highly contributes to the incidence of a burst abdomen due to a lack of proper preoperative preparation and the presence of intraabdominal sepsis. Anterior component separation was primarily evolved in abdominal wall reconstruction in the open abdomen and huge ventral hernia repair.

Methods

This prospective study included 50 patients operated by midline laparotomy for non-traumatic abdominal emergencies. Anterior component separation technique was randomly applied in 25 patients before laparotomy closure, the other 25 patients were closed using the traditional midline closure method. Preoperative patient’s demographics, operative time, and different postoperative complications were reported. Incidence of burst abdomen in both groups was reported.

Results

Preoperative patient’s demographic data showed no significant difference between both groups; the mean age of the patients was 53.69±7.34. Operative time was significantly longer in the Anterior Components Separation (ACS) group (P<0.001). The incidence of abdominal wall dehiscence after ACS technique (4.3%) was significantly less than after traditional technique (24%). Postoperative seroma and hematoma were the common postoperative complications after ACS however the incidence was not statistically significant. Incisional hernia was detected in (13.04%) in ACS group and in (32%) in traditional group.

Conclusion

Application of ACS technique during laparotomy closure in abdominal emergencies seems to lower the incidence of abdominal wall dehiscence with no increase in different postoperative complications.

Purpose

Gastrointestinal leakage is one of the most detrimental and life-threatening complications that may occur after gastrectomy for gastric cancer. We evaluated the incidence, predictive factors, management strategies, and outcomes of gastrointestinal leakage following gastrectomy for gastric cancer in a high-volume center over a 10-year period and the impact of prospective continuous monitoring of management outcomes.

Patients and methods

A total of 7098 patients who underwent curative radical gastrectomy for gastric adenocarcinoma from January 2012 to December 2021 in Gastrointestinal Surgery Department, Seoul National University Hospital were reviewed.

Results

The overall incidence of gastrointestinal leakage was 2.8% (198/7098). Old age (>60), male sex, high BMI (≥25), prolonged operative time (>240 min), open approach, and increased lymph node ratio (>5%) were important risk factors for anastomotic leakage following gastrectomy on multivariate analysis. Leakage increased postoperative hospital stay by fivefolds and was responsible for 20.5% of major complications after gastrectomy. Interventional management was performed in 76.8% of leakage cases while surgery was required in 9.6% of cases with success of initial treatment in 83.8% of patients. Mortality rate was 1.5% (3/198).

Conclusion

Prospective, transparent, and accurate data collection is an essential component of self-improvement cycle. Surgeon experience is an important factor especially in esophagojejunal anastomosis with tension free well vascularized pedicle is the key. Multidisciplinary team management of leakage with efficient interventional strategies can greatly improve the leakage outcome.

Published: January 2024

OBJECTIVES: This study investigated whether adherence to the overall lifestyle recommendations in the American Cancer Society (ACS) guidelines on nutrition and physical activity for cancer survivors was associated with inflammation in breast cancer survivors.METHODS: The study included 409 women who had undergone breast cancer surgery at least 1 year before enrollment. A generalized linear model was used to estimate the least square means and 95% confidence intervals of plasma levels of inflammatory markers according to lifestyle factors defined in terms of adherence to the ACS guidelines.RESULTS: Higher overall adherence scores were associated with lower levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) (p for trend=0.015) and higher levels of adiponectin (p for trend=0.009). Similar significant associations of hs-CRP (p for trend= 0.004) and adiponectin (p for trend=0.010) levels were observed with the score for the body mass index (BMI) component of the adherence score. A higher diet component score was associated with a higher adiponectin level (p for trend=0.020), but there was no significant association for the physical activity component score.CONCLUSIONS: The present study’s findings suggest that maintaining a healthy lifestyle according to the ACS guidelines was associated with beneficial effects on inflammatory marker levels, especially hs-CRP and adiponectin, among breast cancer survivors. Among the 3 components of lifestyle guidelines, the BMI component exhibited the most similar tendency to the overall adherence score in relation to inflammatory indicators. Further prospective and intervention studies are needed to investigate longitudinal associations between lifestyle factors and inflammatory markers among breast cancer survivors.

Authors: Oforka Chinonyelum Linda , Omotayo Ahmed Idowu , Adeleke Monsuru Adebayo
Published: January 2024

Mosquito-borne diseases (MBDs) are major public health burdens in tropical nations, including Nigeria. This study assessed mosquito larval species composition, abundance, and abiotic factors influencing mosquito breeding in slum communities of Lagos with the goal of informing MBD control measures. Three slum communities—Bariga, Makoko, and Ajegunle—were selected along with the nonslum community of Ikeja, which served as a control site. Larval sampling was done using the standard dipping technique between December 2021 and July 2022 across the dry and wet seasons. Mosquito larvae were raised to adults and identified using morphological keys and molecular assays. A total of 57,753 immature mosquitoes were collected from all study sites, with a significantly (P < 0.05) greater abundance in the dry season than the wet season. The majority (98.1%) of the mosquitoes collected belonged to Culex pipiens s.l., the only species found during the dry season in almost all locations. In the wet season, species identified from all sites combined were Anopheles gambiae ss., Anopheles arabiensis, Aedes aegypti, Aedes albopictus, Cx. pipiens s.l., and Lutzia tigripes, with Ajegunle having the greatest species diversity (H = 0.593). Among physicochemical parameters measured, only water temperature had a significant positive correlation (r = 0.934, P = 0.020) with larval densities in Ajegunle only. Permanent mosquito-breeding habitats had significantly greater larval densities than temporary habitats within the slum communities. These findings could inform the development of integrated vector control strategies that address the different species of mosquitoes in the fight against MBDs in urban slums.
Legal and Tax Instruments Limiting the Decline in the Fiscal Efficiency of the Tax System During Periods of Crisis
Authors: Modzelewski Witold
Published: January 2024

The article concerns very important issue of the efficiency of the tax system, but the presented perspective focuses on crisis in that field. The historical changes in the Polish economy, which are taking place as a result of: the implementation of the new energy policy, the reconstruction of the structure of the supply of energy resources, the trade war with Russia, and, above all, the end of the era of cheap and readily available energy sources, will have (already had) a significant impact on the dynamics and amount of budget revenues, especially the state budget. Considerations bring Polish perspective, but are universal in their nature. Author argues that the fiscal balance of the new macroeconomic situation is already and will continue to be negative: budget revenues derived from the energy sector from direct and indirect taxes will decrease, and public spending on its maintenance will increase. The policy of high prices for energy carriers will reduce income tax revenues not only burdening business entities. This will exacerbate in a definite way the already growing (despite inflation) fiscal crisis (domino effect). Author proves that amendments of the tax law are necessary. It has to be noted that they should promote direct settlement and payment of the most important taxes by tax law subjects, rather than on the collection of data by tax authorities for the purposes of control and public supervision, because this is the only way to increase the fiscal efficiency of these taxes as soon as possible.

Wie bestritten Handwerkerfamilien ihren wirtschaftlichen Alltag? Der Schlüssel zum Verständnis liegt in ihrer beruflichen und räumlichen Mobilität Unser Verständnis von Arbeit ist einem starken Wandel unterworfen. Zunehmend werden mit Job Sharing, Homeoffice und Teilzeitarbeit flexiblere Arbeitsmodelle gefordert und erprobt. Zugleich nimmt weltweit die Zahl der sogenannten working poor zu - Personen, die mit nur einer Erwerbsarbeit nicht genug verdienen, um ihren Lebensunterhalt zu bestreiten. Die vormoderne Arbeitswelt war der unseren in mancher Hinsicht ähnlich. Oft gingen Ehepartnerinnen und -partner verschiedenen Erwerbsarbeiten nach, waren in mehreren Berufen tätig. Frauen und Männer, Töchter und Söhne trugen zum Familieneinkommen bei. Frauen waren Meisterinnen, Lohnarbeiterinnen, Unternehmerinnen. Nicht nur beruflich, auch räumlich waren Handwerkerinnen und Handwerker überaus mobil. Der mikrohistorische Fokus auf eine offene Familienwirtschaft ermöglicht es, diese flexiblen handwerklichen Ökonomien zu erfassen. Der Beitrag von Nicole Stadelmanns Buch zur deutschsprachigen Handwerksforschung liegt in der Zusammenführung der zünftigen und außerzünftigen Produktion. Indem dabei die Arbeit der Frauen in der Produktionssphäre sichtbar wird, leistet die Studie auch wichtige Erkenntnisse zur Frauen- und Geschlechtergeschichte.

ROLE OF YOGA AND MARMA CHIKITSA ON DIGESTIVE PROBLEMS
Authors: Choudhary Vidya , Lal Verma Shankar , Das Sharma Purushottam , Kumar Sharma Dinesh
Published: January 2024

One of the primary causes of poor digestive health is changing one's lifestyle, changing one's nutrition, and experiencing mental stress. Toxins that have been slowly deposited in the GI tract make it difficult for nutrients to be
absorbed. Nutritional deficiencies and toxin accumulation bring on more digestive issues. The finest options for
purifying the body and mind and establishing a healthy state are Yoga and Marma therapy. Therefore, the most
significant natural treatment for central digestive system issues is Yoga and Marma chikitsa. Bad eating habits,
mental strain, and sedentary lifestyles disrupt the body's homeostasis. Several Yoga poses directly stimulate the
Marma point. They remove the obstruction, which permits appropriate prana flow.

Hydrological Assessment of Iraq for the Period 2002-2020 Using GRACE Terrestrial Water Storage Deficit
Authors: Hassan Ayat , Al-Abadi Alaa
Published: January 2024

The research examines the effectiveness of remote sensing for monitoring drought conditions, specifically focusing on the utilization of satellite missions like GRACE to detect alterations in water levels. The study analyzes GRACE data for 10 Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) grid cells alongside precipitation data from 11 meteorological stations. It employs the DrinC program to calculate the standard precipitation index (SPI) at different time intervals. Non- Non-parametric Mann-Kendall tests and Sen's slope statistics are used to determine the trend and magnitude of the GRACE-based anomaly in terrestrial water storage. The statistical findings reveal a significant decrease in Iraq's terrestrial water storage anomaly between 2007 and 2017, indicating drier climatic conditions. However, there is an increase in anomaly between 2002 and 2006, as well as from 2018 to 2020, indicating wetter conditions. The water storage deficit varies among grid cells, each exhibiting distinct characteristics and patterns. The study also highlights that more intense and prolonged droughts tend to occur in the northern and southern regions of Iraq, while the central region experiences more frequent but less severe droughts. In most grid cells, the Mann-Kendall test illustrates a substantial decrease in the water storage deficit index and a significant increase in SPI-06. On the other hand, only one grid cell shows a noticeable precipitation trend. Comparatively, trends in the water storage deficit index and SPI-06 are similar. Overall, the water storage deficit and its index prove valuable in predicting drought severity in locations lacking hydrological measurements.

Biostratigraphy of the Sinjar Formation is investigated in two sections (Dokan and Sinjar) from northeastern and northwestern Iraq, respectively. Two hundred samples from all the limestones and marl that form the main lithological components of the studied sections were collected. The studied limestones and marl are rich in microfossils. Through thin sections, we were able to identify thirty species of benthic foraminifera and fifteen species of other microfossils (coral, algae, mollusca, bryozoa, and echinoids) at Dokan section, and fifty-one species of benthic foraminifera and thirty species of other microfossils at Sinjar section. 3 biozones were distinguished from both sections 1-Biozone A: Kathina sp.- Lockhartia hunti Assemblage zone (SBZ 5) (Dokan section); (Kathina pemavuti - Lockhartia hunti Assemblage zone (Sinjar section), 2- Biozone B: Idalina sinjarica Total Range zone (SBZ 6-7) and 3-Biozone C: Alveolina globosa- Alveolina pasitisilata Concurrent Range Zone (SBZ8-10). These zones indicate the Late Paleocene –Early Eocene age of the Sinjar formation. The biostratigraphic correlations in the studied sections are based on benthic foraminiferal zonations. Showed the correlation comparison between the biostratigraphic zones of the commonly used benthic zonal scheme around the Late Paleocene -Early Eocene in and outside of Iraq. paleoecological studies suggest that the carbonate sedimentation of the Sinjar Formation thrived in 18-25oC, with mesophotic to oligophobic light, under an oligotrophic to mesotrophic middle ramp environment with normal marine to slightly saline and at water depths from 40 - 80 m. Stable isotopic carbon (δ13C) and oxygen (δ18O) data revealed generally hot conditions with high productivity during the deposition of the Sinjar Formation accompanied by an abrupt change in paleoenvironmental conditions across the Paleocene-Eocene contact.

Propiedad versus biodiversidad (Perplejidades ante la doctrina argentina sobre la península de Magallanes)
Authors: López Ramón Fernando
Published: January 2024

El objeto del estudio es analizar los criterios sostenidos por la Corte Suprema argentina, en los casos Coihue y Apen Aike, sobre la relación del derecho de propiedad con la protección de la biodiversidad. Para ello, referiremos brevemente el régimen de las áreas naturales protegidas en el contexto del federalismo ambiental argentino, lo que nos permitirá comprender las complicaciones de la protección provincial de la península de Magallanes. A continuación, tras exponer las tesis sostenidas en las sentencias, manejaremos los argumentos que nos llevan a discrepar de la jurisprudencia en cuestión al considerar: a) que no había ninguna situación de incertidumbre sobre la prohibición de los desarrollos hoteleros y urbanísticos en el parque provincial; y b) que la función social del derecho de propiedad en las áreas naturales ha de vincularse a la protección de la biodiversidad, sin que su contenido esencial permita incluir utilidades no estrictamente agrarias.
