Objective: The present study examined the effects of exogenous emulsifiers and multi-enzyme supplementation into a low energy density diet on growth performance, visceral organ parameters, blood metabolites, ileal morphology, and nutrient digestibility in broiler chickens from hatch to 21 days.Methods: One hundred and sixty-eight one-day-old Ross 308 broiler chickens were allocated in a completely randomized design to 24 pens and each pen was assigned to one of four dietary treatments to give six replications with seven chickens in a cage. Dietary treatments were: i) positive control with standard energy level (PC); ii) negative control with 100 kcal/kg lower energy of the standard level (NC); iii) NC diet supplemented 0.05% calcium stearoyl-2 lactylate as an emulsifier (NC+E); and iv) NC diet supplemented with both 0.05% calcium stearoyl-2 lactylate and 0.05% multi-enzyme (NC+E+M). Corn and soybean meal-based control diets containing vegetable oil were formulated to meet the Ross 308 nutrition specification. Chickens were fed ad-libitum with the treatment diets and sampling was conducted on day 21.Results: Our results revealed that emulsifier and multi-enzyme supplementation into NC diets improved (p<0.05) feed efficiency of the broiler chickens compared to the broiler chickens fed NC diets from hatch to 21 days. Supplementation of emulsifier and multi-enzyme into NC diet improved (p<0.05) nutrient digestibility of the broiler chickens. However, emulsifier and multi-enzymesupplementation into diet did not influence (p>0.05) visceral organ weight, blood metabolites, and intestinal morphology in broiler chickens fed NC diets.Conclusion: Supplementation of emulsifier and multi-enzyme in the NC diet would support improving growth performance in young broiler chickens with improved feed efficiency and increased nutrient digestibility thereby curtailing the negative impact of energy reduction in the diets.

Authors: Aubrey Mhlongo Siyabonga , Lunga Sibali Linda , Clifford Malematja Kholofelo , P. Ndibewu Peter
Published: April 2022

Since the revelation in the detection of the persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in industrial wastewater in the early 1990s, a notable progress has been achieved on the research and different removal applications or methods of this challenge at hand. This book chapter entails a decent understanding on the occurrence, effects, and amputation of POPs in the water sector in advancement of municipal performances of treating industrial wastewaters and environment at large. This current chapter also presents an overview of research associated to the amputation of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) from various water bodies, i.e., river sediments, sewage plants, industrial sludges, and wastewater. Also, discussing the relationships with actual pre-treatment and removal rates. Vital characteristics such as the wastewater matrix, location, sources of POPs, materials and modules, operational parameters and problems are presented with a clear focus on removal of these organic pollutant’s different sources (like, textile wastewater). The particular methods to the removal of POPs can be associated with the application of ultrafiltration, nanofiltration and reverse osmosis as advanced treatment stages are considered in correlation with the textile wastewater characteristics and removal efficiencies requirements. This gives significance to the amalgamation of physico-chemical and biological treatment with membrane processes which is likely to represent an efficient solution for the removal of POPs from textile wastewater. However, since membrane fouling and hydrophilicity are apparent in the execution of this process, this chapter also covers the effective strategies like fabrication of membrane with a suitable additive to counterattack these challenges, which are often used in membrane technological research. This chapter also proposes an updated understanding of fouling and improvement of membrane properties.
Leveraging Livestock Production Systems for Human Nutrition in Developing Countries
Authors: Maria Dominic Ditty , Ram Meena Hans
Published: April 2022

Livestock farming is a key sector that promotes socio-economic development in developing countries with around 600 million smallholders relying on it for livelihood. The multi-functionality of livestock production in the livelihoods of smallholders, from an income and input generating asset to a source of food and nutrition, is well known but less acknowledged. Though the concept of leveraging agriculture for nutritional goals is gaining importance, the evidence on the impact of nutrition-sensitive agriculture interventions is sparse particularly in one of the major subsectors in agriculture like livestock. The current chapter discusses the potential of livestock farming systems to tap nutritional outcomes in developing countries where multiple forms of malnutrition are highly prevalent due to over-reliance on starch-based diet and other socio-economic and cultural factors. Thus, the chapter highlights the importance of animal source foods (ASF) in human nutrition, the pathways linking livestock and nutrition, the sustainability issues related to livestock production systems, and the way forward to exploit these systems as a tool for tackling malnutrition in the developing world.

Published: April 2022

Human milk has hundreds of milk proteins, which provides many benefits on breastfeeding. Breastfeeding is a mother’s gift to herself, her baby, and the earth, there is no substitute for mother’s milk. Milk protein is most important for baby’s growth, development and protects the baby from different illness. Colostrum is produced during early days immediately after child birth, which contains important nutrients and antibodies. Breast engorgement is a problem that is commonly encountered in breastfeeding mothers, which is to be addressed and treated to provide good milk proteins to baby, by relieving discomforts of lactating mothers. A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 30 subjects based on inclusion and exclusion criteria where the subjects are divided into two groups, which contain 15 lactating mothers in each group. The control group that is group-A was treated with ultrasound, and the experimental group that is group-B was treated with ultrasound and Taping Technique. The result of the study showed that there was a significant difference between the pre- and posttest intervention, and we conclude that the ultrasound therapy and Kinesio taping was effective in treating lactating mothers with breast engorgement.
Resocialization through the Family Project in the Bahamas: Using Group Therapy to Heal Adverse Childhood Experiences
Authors: Bethell Keva , Allen David
Published: April 2022

Background: The Bahamas has undergone a severe social fragmentation process due to the crack cocaine epidemic of the 1980s. Marginalized persons were offered free group therapy through The Family: People Helping People Project. Methods: We hypothesized that many of our participants were traumatized as children, therefore causing them to experience various psychological and physiological challenges as adults. The Allen Resocialization Scale can measure the resocialization of traumatized participants. Results: The results indicate that 98% of participants who were traumatized scored ‘excellent’, ‘good’ or ‘average’ on the Allen Resocialization Scale. Conclusions: Without The Family, these participants may have been ‘poorly’ re-socialized, wreaking havoc in the society. Therefore, the results suggest that Family support groups can be a protective factor against trauma experienced in childhood.
Enzymatic Bioremediation of Dyes from Textile Industry Effluents
Authors: Gabriele Vaz Souza Ane , Carolini Maria Tainá , Maria Saran Luciana , Maria Carareto Alves Lucia
Published: April 2022

The use of synthetic dyes began in 1865 with the discoveries of researcher William Henry Perkin. Its production and use only grew due to the high demand of several industrial sectors, mainly textiles. At the same time, concerns about environmental problems arose due to the disposal of wastewater with dyes, being the textile industry’s effluents the most polluting in the world. According to their structure, dyes can be more or less harmful, whereby azo dyes are the most worrisome from an environmental point of view. Problems, such as carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, and genotoxicity, are related to dyes, as well as contamination of water, and soil, and damages to agricultural plantations. Some of the methods used in the treatment of textile industrial effluents are membrane filtration, coagulation, chemical oxidation, biodegradation, photocatalytic degradation, phytoremediation, and enzymatic remediation. Enzyme remediation is considered an efficient, ecological, and innovative technique, through which enzymes can be used in free or immobilized form. The main enzymes involved in the degradation of azo dyes are azoreductases, laccases, and peroxidases. In some cases, harmful by-products are formed during the reactions and require proper management. Thus, this chapter addresses the main aspects of enzymatic bioremediation of dyes present in effluents from the textile industry.
Offshore Wind Farm Grid Connection with Diode Rectifier Unit HVDC and Phase Shifting Transformer
Authors: Cai Lijun
Published: April 2022

This chapter describes a new method for operating the offshore wind farm (OWF) with diode rectifier unit (DRU)-high-voltage direct current (HVDC) (offshore side), where a medium voltage (MV) submarine cable is in parallel operation with DRU-HVDC link. In order to avoid uncontrolled current flow through the MV submarine cable, a phase shifting transformer (PST) is applied on the onshore side of the MV submarine cable. The application of PST is to ensure the smooth blackstart and stable operation of the OWF and DRU-HVDC link. Both static and dynamic behaviors of the proposed method are presented in this chapter and the simulation results validate the proposed method.

Authors: Rochín-Wong Sarai , Vélaz Rivas Itziar
Published: April 2022

In recent years, innovative drug nanocarriers have been developed to enhance stability, bioavailability, and provide sustained release. In this chapter, systems based on natural macromolecules, lipids, or polymeric/polyelectrolyte nanocapsules and their principal chemical and functional characteristics are described. Nano-vesicular systems are especially relevant in different fields. Particularly, a promising potential is offered by systems based on colloidal nanocapsules, that exhibit a typical core-shell structure in which the drug can be confined into the cavity or in the polymeric coating that surrounds it. Both the cavity and the active substance can be lipophilic or hydrophilic and in solid or liquid form depending on the materials and methods used, making these nanocapsules attractive carriers for drug delivery. In addition, a compilation of different methods and materials employed in the preparation of these nanosystems and a recent review of applications of lipid and polymeric nanocapsules have been made, focussing on the encapsulation of drugs.

In recent years, topology optimization method is frequently used to design the compliant mechanism on piezoelectric actuator, and has become a research hotspot. In this chapter, the development of topology optimization method is introduced, the design and research on the compliant mechanism of piezoelectric actuator have been summarized, and the future research direction and challenges of topology optimization design for flexure hinge type piezoelectric actuators are prospected.
Design Considerations of Arctic FPSOs
Authors: Li Guang (George)
Published: April 2022

FPSO (Floating Production Storage Offloading) vessels are ideally suited for development of remote-region projects because tankers and onsite storage are needed to transport crude oil to markets. Therefore, an FPSO offers an attractive development solution to deepwater fields in the Arctic where fixed platforms are not feasible from either technical or commercial perspectives. In this paper, the existing technology of the turret-moored disconnectable FPSO is presented first. Then, design considerations of a disconnectable mooring system are discussed based on the additional requirement of load transfer, disconnected subsea system, disconnections and reconnections. These requirements often conflict with the ones of flow assurance, topside layout, ventilation and fire protection. These conflicting requirements are also discussed in this paper.

Published: April 2022

The traffic volumes in arctic waters are expected to grow rapidly in forthcoming years. A new fleet of icebreakers and cargo carriers with high ice-class will be needed. One of the most beneficial solution is to use independently icebreaking vessels equipped with high ice-class Azipod propulsion units. The construction of ABB Azipod propulsion units allows full power, maximum rpm and full torque in both directions of propeller rotation. Azipod unit have pulling type propeller enabling enhanced vessel stern first operation in demanding ice conditions. Recently ABB Marine launched the innovative Onboard DC Grid concept which is especially suitable for offshore supply and icebreaking vessels. The Onboard DC Grid concept provides a highly efficient power distribution and electric propulsion with low voltage onboard and power systems up to 20MW. This paper outlines a ship machinery concept with ABB Azipod propulsion and Onboard DC GRID system.

Authors: Kim Hyun Soo , Choi Kyungsik , Lee Chun-Ju
Published: April 2022

A speed sea trial was performed in the Amundsen Sea in February and March of 2012. The Korean ice breaking research vessel “Araon” was used to check speed performance on the big floes. Two ice trials were carried out. The time history of location, engine power & RPM(Revolution per minute) etc. during the ice trial and the trajectory of the ship are described in this paper. The measured ice properties are also discussed. The ice trial results were analyzed at different ice thicknesses, ice strengths, and power and speed levels of the ship. The analysis results are compared with model test results and ice trial results. A correction to the target ice thickness was used to compare the power and speed relation in the same ice thickness because it is very easy to know the relative speed performance of ship. The Hamburgische Schiffbau-Versuchs Anstalt (HSVA) method was applied for the correction. The speed of the Araon in big floes is higher than the speed in level ice. The speed after the correction at 10 MW of power and 103 cm of ice thickness was 5.4 knots based on analysis results.

Authors: Bridges Robert , Crocker John , DesRochers Claude , Upcraft Desmond
Published: April 2022

Lloyd’s Register (LR) is currently developing requirements for icebreakers. In support of this activity, a series of work programs have been undertaken to ensure alignment with current and future industry application. The work programs includes a re-evaluation of the classed fleet; a series of interactive workshops with icebreaker Captains representing a variety of ice covered sea areas of operation; and ship structural nonlinear finite element (FE) analyses. The objectives of these tasks were to validate current classifications requirements for ice going ships and compare as a basis a number of previous successful icebreaker designs with actual operations. Representative structural configurations (based upon actual icebreakers) were selected for detailed hull structural assessment and this was supplemented with detailed descriptions of the operations of the ships, provided by icebreaker Masters. This paper presents some of the results from the work programs of which elements are incorporated into the update to Lloyd's Register’s rule requirements for icebreakers.

Authors: Alam Md Shah , Daley Claude , Colbourne Bruce , Hermanski Greg , Gagnon Bob , Bruneau Steve , Clarke Geoff , Quinton Bruce
Published: April 2022

This paper details the development of a double pendulum dynamic impact test apparatus to study the behavior of collisions between ice and structural grillages, typical of those used in ship structures. Direct collisions between ice and ships involve high impact energy and can cause substantial damage to the ship structure. In order to apply this type of impact energy in a controlled and repeatable way, a double pendulum dynamic impact test frame has been developed. The frame consists of two pendulums: one to carry an ice sample and the other to carry a test grillage structure. The overall size of the apparatus is 4m × 5m × 8m. The live weight of each pendulum is approximately 3000 kg. In operation, the pendulums will be lifted and then released simultaneously to impact each other in a vertical position. The frame is instrumented to measure the impact force and deflection of the grillage.

Authors: Mudge Todd D. , Fissel David B. , de Saavedra Álvarez M. Martínez , Marko John R. , Borg Keath
Published: April 2022

The sea ice concentrations and areal extent in Baffin Bay have undergone major reductions over the past 31 years (1981-2011). Of particular interest is the Northeastern Baffin Bay area off West Greenland, which is a promising frontier area for oil and gas exploration. The break-up dates, along with other characteristics of the Ice-free season, are analyzed using weekly Canadian Ice Service Digital Archive ice chart data on ice concentrations and ice types. The reductions in the early summer ice concentrations occurred quite abruptly in the late 1990’s, prior to which, much higher ice concentrations prevailed back to the mid-1980’s. The underlying causes of the change in the sea ice conditions are explored in this paper.

Tracking Ice during an Oil Well Blowout in the Arctic
Authors: Pilkington G. Roger , McGonigal David
Published: April 2022

If a blowout at an offshore well in the Beaufort Sea continued into the winter, oil would be painted on the underside of the moving pack ice. The analysis in this paper indicates that a significant quantity of oil trapped under the ice would be in the form of large pools as a result of the ice moving very slowly or stopping Oil entrapped under the ice migrates to the ice surface in the spring. On-ice cleanup activities should commence at the locations of these large pools of oil.

Cuerpos desaparecidos y memoria transnacional a escena: NN12 de Gracia Morales
Authors: Saura Clares Alba
Published: April 2022

A través de esta investigación, queremos volver nuestra mirada a NN12, uno de los textos más destacados de la teatrista española Gracia Morales (dramaturga, actriz, poeta, docente) para estudiar el contexto de su producción y el diálogo que establece con una memoria transnacional, compartida entre España y los países del Cono Sur. De esta forma, nos interesa estudiar las claves de la obra desde una perspectiva transfronteriza y ubicarla en un contexto compartido de justicia transnacional, en el encuentro entre países en pos de la memoria histórica; además, buscamos analizar cómo desde el teatro se convoca una retentiva comunitaria que, lejos de alejarnos en las especificaciones de cada trauma, nos puede unir en la visión de una tragedia compartida, como la que generaron los diferentes regímenes totalitarios en Europa y Latinoamérica, aspecto donde se ubica con especial determinación la relacione entre España y los países del sur del continente americano.
Alessandro Piccolomini (1508-1579): Lettrici, interlocutrici e personaggi femminili
Authors: Valentino Gennaro
Published: April 2022

In questo articolo prendiamo in considerazione la prospettiva che Piccolomini adotta nelle opere con personaggi, interlocutrici o destinatarie donne, per proporre una nuova interpretazione che possa superare la vexata quaestio filoginia / misoginia, già approfondita dalla critica, e per tentare di dissipare i dubbi sulla vera natura di questi scritti. Attraverso l'analisi de La Raffaella e dell'Oratione in lode delle donne emerge un allontanamento dello "Stordito" da rigide posizioni ideologiche per adoperare la prospettiva ironica e giocosa del “mondo alla rovescia”, nella quale prendono forma elementi come il ribaltamento dei vizi delle donne in virtù, dei convenzionalismi sociali, degli stereotipi e del mondo reale attraverso il codice ludico.
Figure femminili nelle Facezie di Lodovico Domenichi
Authors: Stefanuto Clelia , Giardina Manuel
Published: April 2022

This article analyses the various female figures in the Facezie collected and written by Ludovico Domenichi, in their facets, in their parody and ironic-popular representation, which changes according to the social context in which the anecdotes are set. The roles of men and women are often reversed, especially the peasant women, who appear as enterprising women, both in their use of words and in their gestures and attitudes, provoking comedy with their jokes at the end of a squabble with a man. The female figures always have the last word, winning the verbal debate with their opponents, and, together with the malmaritate or adulteresses for pleasure, find ample space in these tales. Given the variety of topics addressed in the Facezie, misogynistic accents coexist in them, but the defenders or champions of women, to whom Ludovico Dominichi feels he belongs, are also represented.

Il presente articolo si occupa di analizzare, nelle Facezie raccolte e scritte da Ludovico Domenichi, le diverse figure femminili nelle loro sfaccettature, nella parodizzazione e nella loro rappresentazione ironico-popolare, che cambia in base al contesto sociale in cui sono ambientati gli aneddoti. I ruoli femminili e maschili vengono spesso ribaltati soprattutto tra le contadine, che si presentano come donne intraprendenti, tanto nell’uso del linguaggio quanto nei gesti ed atteggiamenti, provocando l’effetto comico che generalmente si incontra nella chiusura del battibecco con l’uomo. Le figure femminili hanno sempre l’ultima parola, vincendo il dibattito verbale con i loro avversari, e, assieme alle malmaritate o adultere per diletto, occupano una posizione di rilievo all’interno della trama. Data la varietà degli argomenti che affrontano le Facezie, in esse convivono accenti misogini ma anche filogini, rappresentati dai difensori e paladini delle donne, di cui Ludovico Dominichi si sente farne parte.
Laudomia Forteguerri y los autores de la Querella de las mujeres

Published: April 2022

Este trabajo analiza la representación e iconización que de Laudomia Forteguerri, una de las mujeres más famosas del Renacimiento en Siena, hace Alessandro Piccolomini y otros autores como Agnolo Firenzuola, y Giuseppe Betussi. Todos ellos se distinguen por participar con sus textos en la Querella de las Mujeres defendiendo la igualdad intelectual entre los sexos y la necesidad de la educación para las mujeres. Laudomia Forteguerri encarna para estos tres escritores el ideal humano renacentista mas allá de su sexo, y por lo tanto, insisten tanto en su representación femenina idealizada y virginizada, miembro de una comunidad de mujeres intelectuales y castas, pero que practican la amicitia y el lesbianismo, como en su representación masculinizada, de mujer virago que actúa en ámbitos público reservados a los hombres sea a través de las armas o a través de su escritura.

Finding Sliesthorp?
Authors: Dobat Andres Siegfried
Published: April 2022

In 2003, a hitherto unknown Viking age settlement was discovered at Füsing in Northern Germany. Finds and building features suggest that the site was an estate centre and assembly place. As such, the site flourished from around 700 to the end of the 10th century. With Hedeby/Schleswig and the Danevirke in direct eyesight from the site, Füsing is embedded in a special topographical context. What would in other circumstances have been yet another high-status estate centre to be discovered in South Scandinavia thus takes on a different significance. It is suggested that Füsing – among other functions – fulfilled the role of a seasonal garrison and naval base in the defensive system of the Danevirke. As such, the site may be identical with the mystical Sliesthorp, which is mentioned in early written sources as the power-centre of the first Danish kings in this disputed border-region of their realm.
Aligning the Concept of Digital Philanthropy with Islamic Ethics of Technology
Authors: Ulfah Mansurah, Z.  , Aishah, A.
Published: April 2022

Philantrophy is a universal concept that exists far beyond time, but has since evolved due to technological advancement. The development of technology has changed the social behaviour and interactions between people, and consequently, so too has the concept of philanthropy and the way it now operates changed. The opportunity to reach and commit to philanthropy is made much possible by adapting the digital technology to ease the process. This paper seeks to examine the concept of digital philanthropy and the idea of Islamic ethics of technology, and to analyze the extent to which existing digital philanthropy conforms with Islamic ethics of technology to ensure that both are aligned. This paper employs qualitative methods through library-based research of relevant literature comprising of books, article journals, guidelines, and others. The study uses content analysis to derived facts from the relevant literature related to the topic. Based on the findings, the concept of digital philanthropy can be widened in its application so as not to confined it only to monetary aspects. The idea of philanthropy from the Islamic perspective encompasses more than financial issues. The practice of digital philanthropy should be in line with the principles of Islamic ethics of technology to achieve the objectives of the Shariah in promoting good and avoiding harm and evil.

La voz seductora. Silvina Ocampo, Octavio Paz y Eliseo Diego traducen “To His Coy Mistress”, de Andrew Marve
Authors: Rangel Yáñez Juan Francisco
Published: April 2022

En este artículo se presenta un análisis contrastivo de tres traducciones del poema “To His Coy Mistress”, de Andrew Marvell (1681). En particular, se hace un acercamiento a la reconstrucción del yo-lírico y la representación de la mujer que hicieron Silvina Ocampo (1949), Octavio Paz (1954) y Eliseo Diego (1991) desde su posición de poetas-traductores latinoamericanos durante el siglo XX. A partir de las ideas que Antoine Berman y Lance Hewson proponen sobre la crítica de la traducción, se aborda tanto el perfil de cada traductor como un estudio que parte del análisis de pasajes específicos y observa sus efectos en el texto completo. De esta manera, se muestra cómo las variantes permiten lecturas distintas del poema, que en ocasiones resultan opuestas. Se trata de tres formas de llevar al español un texto escrito en un contexto ajeno tanto en lo cultural como en lo temporal
The effect of attitude towards Catalonia’s independence on response latency when translating ideologically conflicting press headlines

Published: April 2022

The present paper explores the role of political ideology in translation by focusing on the influence that the affective charge of sociopolitical concepts may have on the translation process of 51 Catalan translation students in the specific context of Catalonia’s independence crisis. The study tests whether the students’ political position in the independence conflict in Catalonia influences the time they use to understand newspaper headlines on the independence crisis and choose a suitable translation. Participants’ reaction times are assumed to be influenced by the relevance of expressions whose ideological content matches or not participants’ position in the conflict. Results from the study report no significant interaction for the congruency between participants’ ideology and the content of source text or translation options. But even if no statistical significance is reported, the tendency observed in the data reveals that the influence of affectively congruent or incongruent content on response time may be different for ST understanding as compared with making a final decision on the translation equivalent. In our study, ideologically congruent stimuli slowed reaction time down during ST comprehension, but speeded it up when making a final decision to select a suitable equivalent.

Introducción: La enfermedad de Chagas afecta aproximadamente a 6 millones de personas en América Latina. El 25 a 35% evoluciona hacia la Miocardiopatía Chagásica (MCh). Una opción terapéutica en sus estadios avanzados es el trasplante cardíaco (TxC).Objetivos: Comparar la supervivencia de pacientes con TxC por MCh frente a otras etiologías. Analizar la incidencia de la reactivación (Ra) de enfermedad de Chagas y su impacto en la supervivencia en este subgrupo de pacientes.Material y métodos: Se evaluaron retrospectivamente pacientes con TxC entre agosto 1998 y marzo 2021. Se analizó la supervivencia mediante curvas de Kaplan-Meier y log rank test. El diagnóstico de Ra se realizó mediante métodos moleculares, prueba de Strout en sangre periférica, tejido miocárdico y/o cutáneo.Resultados: De 606 pacientes con TxC, 39 (6,4%) presentaban MCh. Seguimiento medio 4,4 años (Rango Intercuartilo 1,2-8,6). Edadsubgrupo MCh 51 años (RIC 45-60). Hombres 28 (72%). Se documentó Ra en el 38,5% de los pacientes. Supervivencia a 1, 5 y 10 añosen TxC por MCh con Ra versus no Ra: 85%, 76% y 61% versus 72%, 55% y 44% (p = 0,3). Supervivencia a 1, 5 y 10 años en TxC porMCh versus TxC por otras causas: 79%, 65% y 50% versus 79%, 62% y 47% (p = 0,5).Conclusión: En nuestra serie no se encontró diferencia estadísticamente significativa en la supervivencia de los pacientes trasplantados cardíacos por MCh en comparación con aquellos trasplantados por otras causas; así como tampoco entre los pacientes que reactivaron la enfermedad de Chagas y los que no lo hicieron.
Effects of Efavirenz for the Treatment of HIV Section on the Basis of Genetic Polymorphisms

Published: April 2022

Introduction: CYP2B6 is a liver enzyme that is involved in the metabolism of several drugs including Efavirenz, which is one of the mainstay treatments for Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). Polymorphisms in the CYP2B6 gene determine the rate of enzyme activity. One such polymorphism, rs3745274, where there is a change from G to T at codon 516 results in an amino acid change from glutamine to histidine at position 172. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) USA has recommended this molecular marker as a companion diagnostic test for Efavirenz. Aim: To evaluate the effect of Efavirenz in the treatment of HIV on the basis of genetic polymorphisms. To determine the CYP2B6 genotype of healthy individuals and those with HIV before starting the antiretroviral therapy. To review the reported cases of genetic polymorphisms and document drug toxicity in the selected population. Materials and Methods: A prospective clinical observational study was done at Kamineni Hospital, Hyderabad, Telangana, India, from September 2017 to August 2020 with an inclusion criterion of participants above the age of 18 years who are HIV positive diagnosed by Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) test, reporting to the Outpatient Department (OPD) or getting admitted for treatment with Efavirenz with a sample size of 369 based on the prevalence of CYP2B6 polymorphism in Southern India. Results: Out of the study population, 276 HIV patients and 93 controls were genotyped by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and subjected to Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) technique to establish CYP2B6 - 516 G>T polymorphism. About 69% is of GT genotype, 18% is of TT genotype and 13% is of GG genotype. Patients with GT genotype are intermediate metabolisers of the drug, those with TT genotype are poor metabolisers of the drug, and GG genotype is an extensive metaboliser of the drug. Individuals with the 516T allele have low enzyme activity and are poor metabolisers of the drug, causing delayed clearance leading to Adverse Drug Reactions (ADR) causing neurological deficits and cardiac complications. Conclusion: This observation helps the clinician adjust the dose of Efavirenz by studying the genetic polymorphism of the patient. Based on this study, we recommend that all HIV diagnosed patients undergo CYP2B6 genotyping before starting an Efavirenz based regimen to decrease the adverse drug reactions and promote effective Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) therapy.

Background: The coronavirus pandemic has forced governments of different countries to implement measures to control the spread of the virus and improve health awareness. Medical students are thought to have a significant role in public health promotion. Although there are studies assessing the level of knowledge of COVID-19 among medical students, there are very few assessing the level of knowledge about the ocular manifestations of COVID-19. Therefore, this study aims to assess the level of knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding the ocular manifestations of COVID-19 among medical students a medical college in Saudi Arabia.

Methods: An online, questionnaire based cross sectional study was conducted to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding the ocular manifestations of COVID 19 among medical students.

Results: The level of knowledge about COVID-19 was adequate. However, there was a deficient knowledge regarding some aspects of ophthalmological involvement in coronavirus disease. Female students and those of higher academic years demonstrated significantly higher knowledge. Attitudes and practices regarding prevention of infection and personal protective measures were satisfactory. The main source of information about COVID-19 was social media and internet.

Conclusions: This is probably the first study investigating the ophthalmological knowledge of COVID-19 among medical students in this region. The level of knowledge about COVID-19 was adequate but knowledge about some ophthalmological aspects was insufficient. Students had adequate knowledge about COVID prevention and personal protective measures. It is suggested to include knowledge of COVID-19 in the curriculum to fill gaps in the knowledge, especially in the preclinical years. Seminars and training programmes could also add to the same.
