Published: February 2020

Entende-se como prescrição o documento de cunho legal elaborado por profissionais de saúde, sujeito à legislação de controle e vigilância sanitária. Constitui uma importante ferramenta de comunicação entre profissionais e o paciente, que em presença de irregularidades pode proporcionar o uso incorreto de medicamentos. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar erros de prescrição e dispensação de antimicrobianos em uma farmácia comunitária, de forma a verificar a frequência e fatores associados, de acordo com as legislações vigentes. Tratou-se de um estudo transversal, descritivo-analítico, executado a partir da análise documental de 404 prescrições de antimicrobianos tópicos e sistêmicos listados na RDC no20/2011, disponibilizadas pela matriz de uma rede de farmácias, referentes ao mês de maio de 2018, utilizando um formulário pré-estabelecido elaborado com base no protocolo de segurança na prescrição, uso e administração de medicamentos. Os resultados demonstraram erros relacionados ao nome do paciente em 33,4%, o carimbo do prescritor esteve ausente em 8,2% e o quesito de forma farmacêutica conteve erro em 71,3%. Em 99,0% das prescrições não havia informações complementares e não houve assinatura do farmacêutico atestando a dispensação em 99,8%. Concluiu-se que nenhuma das amostras esteve em total conformidade aos requisitos exigidos, o que pode comprometer a farmacoterapia e segurança do paciente, além de impulsionar a resistência bacteriana.

Authors: PALA Üzeyir
Published: February 2020

In this current work, thermal comfort for a cooling process inside a bus was described in a combined theoretical and experimental form. The bus was heated to 40 for 7 hours within climatic chamber and AC unit was turned on at the beginning of the test. Temperatures, humidity of air and air velocities were measured at certain points to observe effects of ambient conditions on passengers’ thermal comfort and physiology. Human body was assumed to be one complete piece which is composed of mainly core and skin compartments. Transient Energy Balance Model by Gagge was used for calculation of changes in thermal conditions. Transient heat and mass transfer between bus interior environment and passenger bodies during cooling period were calculated by a mathematical model. Effects of fast transient conditions on either sensible or latent heat transfer from body, temperatures of core and skin, thermal discomfort and thermal sensation which are all factors for human ergonomics were investigated in detail. The aim in this study is to describe a testing and thermal comfort calculation methodology for assessment of thermal comfort of a bus AC system’s cooling performance.

В настоящее время иноязычному образованию уделяется большoе внимание. В связи с этим возникла необходимость построения новой модели обучения русскому языку как иностранному. Изменения, происходящие в Китае под влиянием инициативы «Один пояс и один путь», приведут к большим возможностям в этой области. В 2018 г. опубликован государственный образовательный стандарт обучения русскому языку в вузах на этапе бакалавриата, в котором описано настоящее состояние этого вопроса, а также его существующие проблемы и перспективы в будущем.

The world we live is currently in the development mode of political, economic and cultural globalization, so foreign language education is receiving more and more attention all over the world. Thus, it is also imperative to establish a new model of teaching Russian as a foreign language in China. Meanwhile, both the changes that China has made under the “One Belt and Road Initiative” and the impact of Chinese culture’s “going out” strategy have brought new opportunities and challenges to Russian language teaching. Many Chinese experts and scholars have written several relevant articles to discuss the mode of teaching Russian talents under such new situation. In 2018, the Ministry of Education of China published the “National Standards for Undergraduate Professional Teaching Quality in Ordinary Colleges and Universities” (referred to as “National Standard”) providing a basis for the establishment of Russian professional quality standards and improving the quality of teaching Russian talents in the new era. The positioning of the “national standard” is reflected in the following three rules:
1) Professional orientation: combination of tradition and innovation.
2) Talent training: combination of comprehensive quality and practical ability.
3) Teaching staff: combination of teaching and scientific research. Meanwhile, the existing problems of Russian teaching in China are expounded.
Women Predicament in 'A Journey on Bare Feet' by Dalip Kaur Tiwana
Authors: Sharma Dr. Rajni , Gaur Mrs. Poonam
Published: February 2020

The autobiographical impulse and act is central to woman's writing in India. The range of Indian women's writing generates an unending discourse on personalities, woman's emotions and ways of life. In a way, it presents the socio-cultural state in India from a woman's stance. It affords a peep into Indian feminism too. Besides giving a historical perspective, it throws ample light on woman's psychic landscape. It takes us to the deepest emotions of a woman's inner being. The varied aspects of woman's personality find expression in the female autobiographical literature. We find that a deeper study of women’s autobiographies unravel the hidden recesses of feminine psyche of Indian society. Whatsoever the position of women maybe, behind every social stigma, there is woman, either in the role of mother-in-law, sister‑in‑law or wife. The women writers with sharp linguistic, cultural and geographical environment represented the problems and painful stories of Indian women from 19th century until date. However, they have not shared the contemporary time of the history, the problems of patriarchal society, treatment women, broken marriages and the identity crises for the women remained similar. Women writers have also been presenting woman as the centre of concern in their novels. Women oppression, exploitation, sob for liberation are the common themes in their fiction.

Dalip Kaur Tiwana is one of the most distinguished Punjabi novelists, who writes about rural and innocent women’s physical, psychological and emotional sufferings in a patriarchal society. As a woman, she feels women’s sufferings, problems, barricades in the path of progress as well as the unrecognized capabilities in her. Dalip Kaur Tiwana has observed Indian male dominated society very closely and has much understanding of social and ugly marginalization of women. She can be considered a social reformer as she is concerned with human conditions and devises for the betterment of women's condition in Indian Punjabi families. This paper focuses on the theme of feminist landscape. It presents the miserable plight of women characters. She has come across since her childhood. Women, who felt marginalized, alienated, isolated and detached in their lives, but were helpless as no law was there in her time to punish the outlaws. Dalip Kaur Tiwana beautifully portrays the landscape of her mind. The paper shows how Dalip Kaur Tiwana presents the unfortunate image of her mother, grandmother aunts and some other obscure women who were unable to mete out justice during their life time.

Este escrito surge del intercambio de un grupo de psicólogas e investigadoras acerca de sus prácticas de salud/salud mental en el primer nivel de atención. Dicho diálogo permitió identificar allí diversas tensiones que obstaculizan el desarrollo de estrategias integrales de salud mental. El objetivo de este trabajo es indagar en las tensiones identificadas, desarrollando y articulando algunos ejes explicativos, con el propósito de visibilizar y desnaturalizar ciertas lógicas de las prácticas institucionales en el quehacer cotidiano. Metodológicamente, el texto articula pequeños relatos de la propia experiencia con desarrollos conceptuales organizados en cinco apartados. Se caracteriza el atravesamiento del modelo biomédico de atención, la construcción histórica de la identidad profesional del psicólogo/a y las implicancias de la feminización de los cuidados en salud, entre otros. Se incluye un breve desarrollo proveniente del enfoque decolonial de la salud y se arriba a reflexiones finales, como aporte conceptual al abordaje de esta complejidad.
Las subjetividades, alteridades y narrativas en el estudio de la habitabilidad de conjuntos habitacionales
Authors: Organista Camacho Mariel , Tello Peón Lucía
Published: February 2020

Las subjetividades son producto de la diversidad de situaciones y momentos. La generalidad y ambigüedad con la que son abordadas ha desencadenado que diversos estudios en las ciencias sociales planteen debates teóricos con énfasis en la comprensión del término desde su especificidad contextual y en su afectación al mundo social. Su significado llega a asociarse con dinámicas internas del individuo por lo que las posturas teóricas adoptadas específicamente por ciencias como la antropología, la sociología y los estudios culturales centran su interés en la recuperación del sujeto como elemento central y estratégico para el estudio de cualquier fenómeno. El presente artículo aborda desde una postura crítica los modos de producción de las subjetividades a partir de su influencia en la habitabilidad de los conjuntos habitacionales de interés social, la importancia de la alteridad y de la recuperación del discurso en la construcción de las subjetividades contemporáneas.
Assessment of IgE-Mediated and Non-IgE-Mediated Cow’s Milk Protein Allergy in Children
Authors: Adriana Balasa , Cristina Mihai , Irina Pruna , Tatiana Chisnoiu , Diana Daineanu , Adina Ungureanu , Sergiu Chirila , Larisia Mihai
Published: February 2020

Cow’s milk protein allergy (CMPA) is the most common food allergy found in children under 3 years of age. In most cases, it occurs in infancy. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can decrease the risk of impaired growth.

In our study, we evaluated 40 children, with ages between 1 month and 3 years, diagnosed with IgE-mediated or non-IgE-mediated CMPA, from january to december 2017, in the Department of Pediatrics of the Clinical Emergency County Hospital of Constanta.

The inclusion criteria consisted of: age, natural or artificial feeding, specific IgE levels, CoMiSS score, and clinical manifestations. The Cow’s Milk-related-Symptom-Score (CoMiSS) was developed as a screening and diagnostic tool for CMPA prediction, and can guide pediatricians and primary care physicians to make an early diagnostic, as it can be easily missed.

We observed a higher number of cases of CMPA registered among children who were artificially fed (57,5%), followed by those with mixed nutrition (25%), the remaining (17,5%) being represented by exclusively breastfed infants. The most frequent clinical manifestations were rashes (87,5%), failure to thrive (82,5%), regurgitation (50%) and diarrhea (35%).

Further data should be collected to prove if the association between a CoMiSS score higher than 12 and specific IgE-mediated CMPA is clinically relevant, and can predict, based on clinical examination and anamnesis, high serum levels of specific immunoglobulin E.

The prognosis can depend on the titre of specific IgE at the time of diagnosis, as they are more likely to develop several crossed allergies and less prone to become tolerant to cow milk proteins than those with non-IgE-mediated CMPA.
Model of analysis of the evolution of international economic exchanges
Authors: Anghelache Constantin , Anghelache Gabriela Victoria , Anghel Mădălina-Gabriela
Published: February 2020

The economic activity of a country is achieved both by domestic activity and by international economic and technical-scientific exchanges. International commercial activity is a necessary one nowadays. This is because there is no state capable of performing an autarchic activity. Regardless of of the technical, scientific, resource, and level of development, any state needs to participate in international economic, technical and scientific exchanges. Through international economic exchanges, the need for resources, means of production, labor resources or goods and services is completed. Also in this economic activity of international exchanges is realized the capitalization of surplus production, goods and services, surplus fixed capital, which is offered for export or as a possibility of cooperation in international projects. Thus, the activity of international exchanges is a necessity for each state. Under the conditions of the European Union, in which Romania is a member, there are a number of facilities and in this respect they are being implemented or are being implemented under the European Directive on trade without borders. In this respect, between the Community countries, in the exchange of goods and services, protection measures such as the import tax are no longer practiced and VAT is no longer charged. The international economic exchanges are a significant role in the final result materialized in the level of gross domestic product achieved in each period of time. The countries that import and do it to supplement domestic needs means that they spend part of the value realized in domestic activity to make imports. The exports are made with surplus goods and services that go to other states. In the European Union there are intra-community economic exchanges, complemented by extra-community international economic relations. The authors have studied this aspect and have found that intra-community economic relations have developed more intensively than non-EU economic relations over the last period. In other respects, states are grouped into two categories, ie states with surplus international economic relations, ie states that export more than imports and the second group, countries with activities in the international deficient relations, which imports more than just exports. Comparison between exports and imports results in net exports that may be a surplus or deficit. Romania has always been a deficit country since 1990 and it has to be analyzed in the sense that, due to the difference in favor of imports, part of the gross domestic product made in Romania diminishes with this deficit. The authors, by analyzing this data, highlight how the activity of international economic exchanges has evolved.
Relationship between VAT Revenue and Intermediate Consumption - A VAR Approach
Authors: Ogneru Victor , Popescu Oana Mădălina , Stancu Stelian
Published: February 2020

The paper analyzes the relationship between value added tax revenue and intermediate consumption in the case of Romania in the period January 2007 – September 2018 (quarterly data), using an unrestricted Vector Autoregression Model based on the rate of dynamic taxation’s level (in terms of value added tax revenue) and the rate of dynamic intermediate consumption. In literature, is questioned only the relationship between tax revenue and gross domestic product. Our study emphasizes the link between tax revenue and parts of the own tax base. The relationship is questioned in both directions, namely with respect to the manner in which value added tax affect intermediate consumption and in terms of the influence of intermediate consumption on value added tax revenue in the case of Romania. Given that a significant part of the corporate taxpayers have left the value added tax regime, intermediate consumption is considered instead of final consumption. The analysis is focused on a specific relationship in order to assess the general impact of indirect taxation on production capacity of the undertakings. Our findings reveal that there is not a direct relationship between intermediate consumption and value added tax revenue at the level of Romania despite a such relationship at the EU-28 level. Moreover, in the case of Romania a high volatility of intermediate consumption was found. Both the breakage between tax revenue and his tax base, and volatility of the tax base suggest an influence of hidden economy. For future concerns about tax policy development, a specific model for estimating and forecasting value added tax revenue should be developed for Romania. On the other hand, based on the findings of this study, a model can be developed to assess the impact of the hidden economy on the value added tax revenue.
Therapeutic Evaluation of Computed Tomography Findings for Efficacy of Prone Ventilation in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Patients with Abdominal Surgery
Authors: Akatsuka Masayuki , Tatsumi Hiroomi , Yama Naoya , Masuda Yoshiki
Published: February 2020

Introduction

In Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), the heterogeneity of lung lesions results in a mis-match between ventilation and perfusion, leading to the development of hypoxia. The study aimed to examine the association between computed tomographic (CT scan) lung findings in patients with ARDS after abdominal surgery and improved hypoxia and mortality after prone ventilation.

Material and Methods

A single site, retrospective observational study was performed at the Sapporo Medical University School of Medicine, Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan, between 1st January 2004 and 31st October 2018. Patients were allocated to one of two groups after CT scanning according to the presence of ground-glass opacity (GGO) or alveolar shadow with predominantly dorsal lung atelectasis (DLA) on lung CT scan images. Also, Patients were divided into a prone ventilation group and a supine ventilation group when the treatment for ARDS was started.

Results

We analyzed data for fifty-one patients with ARDS following abdominal surgery. CT scans confirmed GGO in five patients in the Group A and in nine patients in the Group B, and DLA in 17 patients in the Group A and nine patients in the Group B. Both GGO and DLA were present in two patients in the Group A and nine patients in the Group B. Prone ventilation significantly improved patients’ impaired ratio of arterial partial pressure of oxygen to fraction of inspired oxygen from 12 h after prone positioning compared with that in the supine position. Weaning from mechanical ventilation occurred significantly earlier in the Group A with DLA vs the Group B with DLA (P < 0.001). Twenty-eight-day mortality was significantly lower for the Group A with DLA vs the Group B with DLA (P = 0.035).

Conclusions

These results suggest that prone ventilation could be effective for treating patients with ARDS as showing the DLA.
Predictors of In-Hospital Mortality after Recovered Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest in Patients with Proven Significant Coronary Artery Disease: A Retrospective Study
Authors: Trepa Maria , Bastos Samuel , Fontes-Oliveira Marta , Costa Ricardo , Dias-Frias André , Luz André , Dias Vasco , Santos Mário , Torres Severo
Published: February 2020

Introduction

Recovered Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (rOHCA) population is heterogenous. Few studies focused on outcomes in the rOHCA subgroup with proven significant coronary artery disease (SigCAD). We aimed to characterize this subgroup and study the determinants of in-hospital mortality.

Methods

Retrospective study of consecutive rOHCA patients submitted to coronary angiography. Only patients with SigCAD were included.

Results

60 patients were studied, 85% were male, mean age was 62.6 ± 12.1 years. In-hospital mortality rate was 43.3%. Patients with diabetes and history of stroke were less likely to survive. Significant univariate predictors of in-hospital mortality were further analysed separately, according to whether they were present at hospital admission or developed during hospital evolution. At hospital admission, initial non-shockable rhythm, low-flow time>12min, pH<7.25mmol/L and lactates >4.75mmol/L were the most relevant predictors and therefore included in a score tested by Kaplan-Meyer. Patients who had 0/4 criteria had 100% chance of survival till hospital discharge, 1/4 had 77%, 2/4 had 50%, 3/4 had 25%. Patients with all 4 criteria had 0% survival. During in-hospital evolution, a pH<7.35 at 24h, lactates>2mmol/L at 24h, anoxic brain injury and persistent hemodynamic instability proved significant. Patients who had 0/4 of these in-hospital criteria had 100% chance of survival till hospital discharge, 1/4 had 94%, 2/4 had 47%, 3/4 had 25%. Patients with all 4 criteria had 0% survival. Contrarily, CAD severity and ventricular dysfunction didn’t significantly correlate to the outcome.

Conclusion

Classic prehospital variables retain their value in predicting mortality in the specific group of OHCA with SigCAD. In-hospital evolution variables proved to add value in mortality prediction. Combining these simple variables in risk scores might help refining prognostic prediction in these patients’s subset.
Collisional transport model for intense bed load
Authors: Matoušek Václav , Zrostlík Štěpán
Published: February 2020

In an open channel with a mobile bed, intense transport of bed load is associated with high-concentrated sediment-laden flow over a plane surface of the eroded bed due to high bed shear. Typically, the flow exhibits a layered internal structure in which virtually all sediment grains are transported through a collisional layer above the bed. Our investigation focuses on steady uniform turbulent open-channel flow with a developed collisional transport layer and combines modelling and experiment to relate integral quantities, as the discharge of solids, discharge of mixture, and flow depth with the longitudinal slope of the bed and the internal structure of the flow above the bed.

A transport model is presented which considers flow with the internal structure described by linear vertical distributions of granular velocity and concentration across the collisional layer. The model employs constitutive relations based on the classical kinetic theory of granular flows selected by our previous experimental testing as appropriate for the flow and transport conditions under consideration. For given slope and depth of the flow, the model predicts the total discharge and the discharge of sediment. The model also predicts the layered structure of the flow, giving the thickness of the dense layer, collisional layer, and water layer. Model predictions are compared with results of intense bed-load experiment carried out for lightweight sediment in our laboratory tilting flume.
Integrating Sustainable Development Requirements into the Secondary Stage Chemistry Curriculum in Egypt
Authors: Selim Shaimaa Abdul Salam Abdul Salam
Published: February 2020

The problem of the current research lies in the need to integrate some requirements of the sustainable development (SD) in secondary school chemistry curriculum. The research specifically seeks to answer the following question: What “requirements of sustainable development” should be taught in the secondary school chemistry curriculum in Egypt? To that end, the researcher analyzed the content of chemistry curricula in the three grades of secondary education in Egypt for the school year 2017–2018, and prepared a list of 57 SD requirements.

Development or reflections of the nonprofit sector in Central and Eastern Europe and Hungary
Authors: Kákai László
Published: February 2020

The CEE countries are celebrating the 15th anniversary of joining the European Union. The ‘feast’ is also of note because the EP elections are just in front of us. Instead of weighing up the expected results, we can surmise that the resolution of Central European voters is now weaker in terms of belonging to the European community and their trust in democratic institutions is also considerably lower than it was in the transition era. But what happened? The answer is too complex to be summarised in just one study; the examination of this issue would require a complex analysis of facts from economic transformation to transitions in social and economic subsystems. Of these elements, I wish to introduce the system-level transformation and the current state of civil society.

The study aims to analyse the clinical proceedings in pregnant women diagnosed with brain death. Apart from the diagnostic premises and the patient’s rights, the ontological status of the foetus proves to be a severe problem. In reference to the principles of zeroth-order logic, the assumption of potential used by personalists is not a tautology.

Рад се бави пословањем инвести­ционих фондова у Републици Србији. У Србији, инвес­тициони фондови су регулисани Законом о инвес­тиционим фондовима из 2006. године, који је измењен и допуњен у пар наврата, 2009. године, 2011. године и 2014. године. Овај закон инвестиционе фондове дефинише као институцију колективног инвестирања у оквиру којег се прикупљају и улажу новчана сред­ства у различите врсте имовине са циљем остварења прихода и смањења ризика улагања. У Србији су законом прописани отворени, затворени и приватни инвестициони фондови. Инвестициони фондови се према Закону о инвестиционим фондовима, региструју при Комисији за хартије од вредности која води Регистар инвестиционих фондова. У регистру је тренутно активно 20 инвестиционих фондова.

Objetivo: Relatar o caso clínico de três dentes supranumerários em região mandibular do lado direito e revisar a literatura acerca do tema. Detalhamento do caso: Paciente do gênero feminino, feoderma, buscou atendimento no curso de cirurgia oral menor na Associação Brasileira de Odontologia, Maceió/AL, relatando um incômodo na região dos dentes 44 e 45 e que atrapalhava na mastigação. Assim, após a análise clínica, foi solicitado exame radiográfico panorâmico, onde se observou a presença de três dentes supranumerários em posição vertical na região de ramo mandibular. Com a conclusão do diagnóstico, foi realizada a cirurgia para exérese dos supranumerários. Considerações finais: Os DS podem apresentar anatomia e histologia semelhantes aos dentes normais, cabe ao cirurgião-dentista estar atento e executar um diagnóstico precoce e preciso. Se necessário, recorrer aos exames complementares e podendo assim, não executar nenhuma conduta invasiva ou no momento oportuno, intervir de forma pertinente. Dessa forma, evitando qualquer distúrbio local ou sistêmico que o DS possa oferecer.

Authors: Kapetanakis Stylianos , Gkantsinikoudis Nikolaos , Thomaidis Tryfon , Theodosiadis Panagiotis
Published: February 2020

Background:

Motor neuron disease includes a spectrum of neurodegenerative diseases with progressive courses and unfavorable prognoses. Here, we described a patient with a lumbar disc herniation (LDH) and isolated bulbar palsy (IBP), who successfully underwent a transforaminal full-endoscopic discectomy (TFED) without incurring the added risks of general anesthesia.

Case Description:

A 58-year-old male with IBP had an LDH at the L4-L5 level. Avoiding general anesthesia, a TFED was successfully performed under local anesthesia with mild sedation. There were no perioperative complications, and the patient was discharged on the 1stpostoperative day. The patient experienced complete relief of radicular symptomatology 1 year postoperatively.

Conclusion:

Here, we present a rare instance of a patient with IBP who successfully underwent a TFED for an LDH performed under local anesthesia utilizing mild sedation, avoiding the risks of general anesthesia.
A Study to Assess the Prevalence of Depression in Cardiovascular Disease Patient in The Nilgiris Population: Association with Blood Pressure
Authors: Asish Kumar Saha  , Asem Veeves Singh  , Kavuri Srikar  , P R Anand Vijayakumar
Published: February 2020

Depression is a common disorder in Cardio-vascular patients with a prevalence of twenty percent (20%) to forty five percent (45%), which is much more frequent than in the general population. Depressive symptoms are often overlooked in cardiac patients and their manifestation, especially after MI, is considered normal. Almost every life-threatening condition, including MI, stimulates the hypothalamus to secrete the corticotropic-releasing hormone, which stimulates the HPA axis. The two-way connection between depression and heart disease, which share the pathophysiological mechanism of origin, affects the prognosis of post-infarction recovery of depressed patients due to the impact of depression on the HPA axis activation, endothelial dysfunction, platelet reactivation and enhanced inflammatory response. An observational, cross-sectional study was conducted at secondary care government hospitals located at the Nilgiris district on different cardiovascular disease patients using HAM-D questionnaires for the assessment of depression. In this study, the level of depression in cardiovascular disease patients were assessed associating with patient variability in relation to age, gender, education, food habits, social habits, duration of disease and blood pressure values. There was a significant increase in depression score with the increase in blood pressure level. The patients were found to be having depression even though they were on cardiovascular treatment after they were being diagnosed with cardiovascular disease. With the treatment of cardiovascular disease conditions, the assessment for depression should be done and if required, depending on the level of depression, counselling and/with psychotherapy (eg. Cognitive behavioural therapy) may be recommended to avoid cardiac morbidity and mortality.
The effect of Acacia senegal as potential prebiotic on obese gut microbiota
Authors: Ahallil H. , Maskat M.Y. , Abdullah A. , Sarbini S.R.
Published: February 2020

Gut microbiota is able to affect body weight by fermenting dried fibers and generating
short chain fatty acids (SCFA). Acacia senegal is an edible dried which might have
potential prebiotic activity. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Acacia
senegal as potential prebiotic on the composition and activity of human colonic
microbiota of obese healthy subjects. In order to identify a potential prebiotic effect of
Acacia senegal on obese individuals, anaerobic, pH-controlled batch cultures system was
applied. The growth of different microbes and the concentration of lactic acid and short
chain fatty acids were studied at 0, 6, 12, 24 and 36 hrs using fluorescent in situ
hybridization (FISH) and HPLC respectively. The results showed that Acacia senegal was
able to simulate the microbiota population since it significantly increased (P>0.05) the
population of Bifidobacterium and decreased the population of Clostridium. Moreover, the
supplement of Acacia senegal to the models significantly modulate short-chain fatty acid
concentration. These findings clearly identified Acacia senegal as an additional
contributing factor to the gut microbiota of obese subject and suggest that Acacia senegal
could be an interesting supplement for obese human which might help to control obesity.
