Authors: Akan Selen , Taşkın Mehmet Burak , Horzum Özge , Akça Hanife
Published: April 2022

Amaç: Bu araştırmada azot ve bor gübrelemesinin kırmızı pancarın depolama koşullarındaki besin elementi konsantrasyonlarına etkisi incelenmiştir.Yöntem ve Bulgular: Deneme, 2020 yılında Ankara ilinde tesadüf blokları deneme desenine göre 3 tekerrürlü olarak yürütülmüştür. Hasat sonrasında örnekler 4 °C sıcaklık ve %95 ± 2 oransal nemde 3 ay süre ile depolanmış, aylık periyotlarda depodan alınan örneklerde besin elementi konsantrasyonlarındaki değişimler belirlenmiştir. Çalışmadan elde edilen sonuçlara göre; azot, potasyum, demir ve bakır konsantrasyonları üzerine depolama süresi ve gübreleme interaksiyonu önemli bulunmuştur. Kalsiyum, çinko ve bor konsantrasyonları üzerine depolama süresi, mangan ve bor konsantrasyonları üzerine ise gübrelemenin etkisi önemli olmuştur. Depolama süresi, gübreleme ya da bunların interaksiyonunun kırmız pancarların fosfor ve magnezyum konsantrasyonları üzerine önemli bir etkisinin olmadığı belirlenmiştir.Genel Yorum: Kırmızı pancar yetiştiriciliğinde azotlu ve borlu gübrelerin birlikte kullanımı ile birlikte depolama süresinin uzamasının köklerdeki makro ve mikro element içerikleri üzerine etki düzeyleri farklı olmuştur. Gübreleme yapılmadan (geleneksel yöntemler) yetiştiriciliği yapılan kırmızı pancarlara kıyasla gübrelemenin depolama sürecinde besin element değişimine etkileri net olarak ortaya konulmuştur. Dolayısıyla gübrelemenin etkisinin depolama sürecinde de önemli bir rol oynadığı ifade edilebilir.Çalışmanın Önemi ve Etkisi: Kırmızı pancar içerdiği biyoaktif maddeler nedeniyle son yıllarda popülaritesi artan bir sebzedir. Sebzelerin besin elementi konsantrasyonları üzerine hasat öncesi faktörler (çeşit, gübreleme, iklim ve toprak koşulları, yetiştirme tekniği vb.) ile hasat sonrası depolama koşulları etkilidir. Bu araştırma kırmızı pancar yetiştiriciliğinde kullanılan azotlu ve borlu gübrelemenin depolama sürecinde makro ve mikro besin elementi içeriğine etkisini ortaya koyarak gelecekteki çalışmalara yön verme niteliği göstermektedir.
A Radial Limit on Polar Circumbinary Orbits from General Relativity
Authors: Lepp Stephen , Martin Rebecca G. , Childs Anna C.
Published: April 2022

A particle orbiting a misaligned eccentric orbit binary undergoes nodal precession either around the binary angular momentum vector (a circulating orbit) or around a stationary inclination (a librating orbit). In the absence of general relativity (GR), the stationary inclination is inclined by 90° to the binary angular momentum vector (aligned with the binary eccentricity vector) and does not depend on the particle semimajor axis. GR causes apsidal precession of the binary orbit. Close to the binary, the behavior of the particle is not significantly affected, and a librating particle precesses with the binary. However, we find that the stationary inclination and the minimum inclination required for libration both increase with the particle semimajor axis. There is a critical radius beyond which there are no librating orbits, only circulating orbits, and therefore there is a maximum orbital radius for a stationary polar-orbiting body. The critical radius is within planet-forming regions around binaries with a semimajor axis ≲1 au. This has implications for the search for misaligned circumbinary planets and the radial extent of polar circumbinary disks.

Published: April 2022

Introduction: The genetic diversity of Plasmodium falciparum poses a threat to the development and implementation of malaria control strategies. Thus, there is a need for continuous surveillance of its genetic diversity, especially amongst the parasite’s reservoir’s asymptomatic population.

Methodology: Three cohorts comprising children under ten years old, pregnant women and other adults were recruited into this study. Blood sample was collected from all consenting individuals and screened by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method. The genetic diversity of P. falciparum was determined by genotyping the merozoite surface protein-1 (msp-1), merozoite surface protein-2 (msp-2) and glutamate-rich protein (glurp). The size of alleles was visualized on the agarose gel. The multiplicity of infection (MOI) and expected heterozygosity (He) were determined.

Results: The majority of the patients showed polyclonal infections, while the multiplicity of infection with msp-2 and glurp of isolates from pregnant women were 2.5 and 1.8, respectively. Children and adults were 2.3 and 1.1; 2.4 and 1.3, respectively. The estimated number of genotypes was 10 msp-1 (4 KI; 4 MAD; 2 RO33), 27 msp-2 (14 FC27; 13 IC/3D7) and 8 glurp. K1 (36/100) was more frequent than the MAD20 (22.33/100) allele, which was, in turn, more frequent than the RO33 (13.59/100). The samples with the 3D7 allele (53.40/100) of msp-2 occurred more frequently than the FC27 type (45.63/100). Polymorphism in the glurp gene occurred most frequently (72.82/100).

Conclusion: The study samples exhibited a high degree of genetic polymorphism in msp-2 allele typing with multiple clones, reflecting the complexity of parasite populations.
Clinical validation of two immunochromatographic SARS-CoV-2 antigen tests in near hospital facilities
Authors: Skvarč Miha
Published: April 2022

Introduction: Rapid antigen tests to detect SARS-CoV-2 virus need to be validated. The purpose of clinical validation is to place the test into the everyday working process in health care institutions.

Methodology: The clinical validation of Alltest Covid19 antigen test (Alltest, China) and Vivadiag Pro SARS- CoV-2 antigen tests (Vivacheck, China) started in four Slovenian health care institutions in December as a point-of-care test. Institutions compared the results of antigen tests to Seegene Allplex™ 2019-nCoV rt-PCR assay (SeeGene, South Korea) and Cobas 6800 SARS CoV-2 rt-PCR (Roche, USA).

Results: Sensitivity (90.6%, 95% CI = 84.94%-94.36%) and specificity (100%, 95% CI = 99.41%-100%) of Vivadiag Pro SARS CoV-2 Ag test were observed. While validating Alltest Covid19 Ag assay we got similar results (sensitivity 94.37%, 95% CI = 89.20% – 97.54%), specificity 100% (95% CI = 98.83% - 100%).

Conclusions: Vivadiag Pro SARS CoV-2 Ag test and Alltest Covid19 test proved to be a good screening tool to detect SARS-CoV-2. The accurate information about the patient’s status was available almost immediately and there was no need to wait for rt-PCR results. We could prevent further spread of the SARS-CoV-2 in primary care and hospital settings.

Published: April 2022

Introduction: The emergence of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs)-producing Escherichia coli clones are a public health concern worldwide. Scarce information does exist about the spread of ESBLs-producing E. coli in pediatric patients from developing countries.

Methodology: E. coli strains were analyzed by multilocus-sequence-typing, pulsed-field-gel-electrophoresis and phylogenetic group. The antimicrobial-resistance genes were detected by PCR, and plasmid content by the PCR-based replicon-typing. Horizontal transfer was tested by conjugation and the location of the blaCTX-M-15 gene by Southern blot hybridization.

Results: Thirty-two cefotaxime-resistant E. coli were recovered. Eleven of them were ESBL-producing isolates, which were well characterized and ascribed to seven sequence types and five phylogroups. The ESBL CTX-M-15 was the most prevalent enzyme (9 of 11). Plasmids of variable sizes (40-220 kb) were visualized, and the incompatibility (Inc) group FIB plasmid-replicon was detected in the ESBL strains and transferred by conjugation in 45.45% of them.

Plasmid-borne toxin-antitoxin systems were the most frequently detected systems, strongly associated to IncF plasmids. The CTX-M-15-encoding gene was located on IncFIB plasmids.

Conclusions: Even though a small number of ESBL-producing strains was recovered, we evidenced that IncFIB plasmids carry the blaCTX-M-15 gene, highlighting the role of IncF-type plasmids in facilitating the spread and maintenance of ESBL-encoding genes, which further favors the rapid increase of the antimicrobial resistance dissemination in disease-causing E. coli strains in pediatric patients.
Seasonal abundance and spatio-temporal distribution of the troglophylic harvestman Ischyropsalis ravasinii (Arachnida, Opiliones, Ischyropsalididae) in the Buso del Valon ice cave, Eastern Italian Prealps
Authors: Petri Ivan , Ballarin Francesco , Latella Leonardo
Published: April 2022

We explore the population of the troglophilic harvestman Ischyropsalis ravasinii inhabiting the Buso del Valon ice cave located in the Italian Prealps. Spatial and temporal distributions of the specimens are investigated in relation to the variation of environmental abiotic conditions in the cave, such as the seasonal temperature and substrate surface typology. Our results show that I. ravasinii is distributed unevenly in the cave, most of individuals being present in the scree-covered section of the cave with superficial activities limited to the warm seasons only. In addition, our data suggests that the presence of a thick layer of rocky debris, together with high humidity and cold temperatures, are important limiting factors for the species. Seven additional species of harvestman are recorded in the cave, including the congeneric troglophilic species Ischyropsalis strandi. This is the first known record of these two troglophilic Ischyropsalis species coexisting within the same cave. An updated map of the distribution of I. ravasinii and I. strandi in the Italian Prealps is provided.

Une classification des compétences sociales identifiées : savoir adapter, savoir communiquer, écouter l’autre, savoir susciter, savoir instaurer, savoir maintenir,… L’émergence de plusieurs identités professionnelles : l’accompagnement au quotidien, la dimension relationnelle, le rôle de soutien. Sur le plan des représentations sociales, les aides à domicile mettent en avant les activités sociales tandis que les personnes âgées soulignent en premier lieu les services concrets apportés. Il est essentiel de partir des activités réelles des acteurs dans la perspective de mieux discerner les compétences mobilisées. Tout comme M. Thévenet, G. Valléry et S.

Résumé Ce chapitre examine le rôle des espaces de travail (ici un espace d’accueil bancaire) dans la gestion de la relation de service. Il apparaît être à la fois un objet commercial – étant la « vitrine » de l’agence (premier contact qui donne à voir sur la qualité de son organisation, de son fonctionnement, des rapports humains) – et un poste de travail (où s’exerce diverses activités et exigences qui réclament des compétences et aptitudes particulières). L’espace d’accueil est le pivot du fonctionnement de l’agence, à l’intersection des différents métiers et logiques professionnelles et de différents systèmes d’activité aussi. Il est également un outil de régulation de l’activité, des flux et des demandes qui exige une analyse ergonomique particulière pour sa conception.
Le sujet à l’école des œuvres : enseigner face au scientisme et à l’identitarisme

On y trouve des ressources susceptibles d’inspirer une éducation du sujet fondée sur un large recours aux œuvres d’art dans l’enseignement.
Le concept de « loi » chez Hannah Arendt La loi est-elle fruit de l’ œuvre ou de l’ action ?
Authors: Ghins Jean-Baptiste
Published: April 2022

L’objectif de cet article est de clarifier la manière dont Arendt comprend le concept de  loi  en posant la question suivante : qui de l’ œuvre  ou de l’ action  engendre la loi ? Nous présentons d’abord les éléments qui nous font conclure que la théoricienne conçoit la loi comme un artefact dont le but est d’assurer la stabilité du monde pré-politique. Ensuite, nous montrons dans quelle mesure cette interprétation devient problématique lorsqu’Arendt détaille la relation entre pouvoir et loi, qui réaffirme cette dernière comme résultat de l’action. Nous terminons en défendant qu’il n’est pas nécessaire de trancher entre ces deux perspectives  a priori  contradictoires, car elles permettent, si acceptées parallèlement, d’éclairer l’équilibre par lequel, pour Arendt, un vécu politique devient possible.
Roland Barthes et les petites revues : de la publication à l’exposition
Authors: Nachtergael Magali
Published: April 2022

Les engagements politiques et esthétiques de Barthes apparaissent de façon manifeste dans ses publications en revue bien plus que dans ses ouvrages. En retraçant ses relations avec certaines revues moins connues qu’ Esprit , Critique ou Tel Quel , on découvre l’autre face de Barthes : engagé dans la critique marxiste au sein du comité d’ Arguments , avec Edgar Morin, porté par un idéal de rassemblement intellectuel européen avec La Revue internationale de Maurice Blanchot et enfin, attentif et lui-même acteur des avant-gardes plastiques à partir de sa publication « La Mort de l’auteur » dans Aspen (1967). Ces petites revues engagent l’écriture et la pensée de Barthes dans des dialogues à la marge des grands pôles d’attention (éditions du Seuil, EHESS, puis Collège de France) et témoignent de sa situation privilégiée dans la construction d’une esthétique alternative voire de contre-cultures littéraires et visuelles ( Phantomas , Manteia , Wunderblock , L’Humidité , Ça cinéma , Gulliver , Artpress ou Zoom ).

L’Institut de filmologie (IF) a été créé par un décret du 28 octobre 1950 au sein de la Sorbonne, même si ses activités remontent à l’automne 1948. À partir de cette date et au sein du même établissement, le Centre d’études radiophoniques a donné des conférences animées par des intellectuels tels que Gaston Bachelard, Raymond Aron, Georges Friedmann, Abraham Moles, Étienne Fuzellier, Georges Duhamel et Jean Tardieu. Le centre d’études regroupe une communauté de réflexion, de conceptualisation et d’expérimentation réunie autour d’un intérêt substantiel pour le développement des moyens audiovisuels, qu’ils soient télévisuels ou radiophoniques. Les Cahiers d’études de radio-télévision constituent donc une ressource d’un type assez particulier puisque s’y croisent les sciences humaines et sociales mais aussi l’histoire médiatique.
On Rules of Art as Perhaps not such a Bad Thing: a Discussion of Aesthetic Normativity according to Alexander Pope and Philip Pullman
Authors: Garncarzyk Dimitri
Published: April 2022

The concept of “rules of art” feels, in the context of 21st-century aesthetics and critical discourse, like an antiquated idea with unsound theoretical bases (it is by definition at odds with Kantian aesthetic subjectivism) and authoritarian undertones (regulating art being often seen as political censorship). The purpose of this article is to play Devil’s advocate and make the case for rules of arts, in defense of what could be called aesthetic normativity, through a commentary of critical writings by Augustan age poet Alexander Pope (1688-1744) and contemporary novelist Philip Pullman (*1946). The introduction presents this project from an historical and critical perspective; Pope’s and Pullman’s views of aesthetic normativity are then discussed in succession, on the basis of which the conclusion offers answers to anti-normativism, and a definition of aesthetic normativity as a beneficial framework for the democratic discussion of artistic works and processes.

Published: April 2022

Understanding how to assess the learners' evaluation has become an essential topic for both academics and practitioners as blended mobile learning applications have proliferated. This study examines users' sentiment and predicts the review rating of the blended learning platform app using machine learning (ML) techniques. The data for this study came from Google Play Store reviews of the Google Classroom app. The VADER and AFINN sentiment algorithms were used to determine if the filtered summary sentences were positive, neutral, or negative. In addition, five supervised machine learning algorithms were used to differentiate user evaluations of the Google Classroom app into three sentiment categories in the current study. According to the results of this investigation, the majority of reviews for this app were negative. While all five machine learning algorithms are capable of correctly categorizing review text into sentiment ratings, the random logistic regression outperforms in terms of accuracy.

Enterprise security risk management (ESRM) is a planned strategy that identifies and assesses possible security problems that may jeopardize the enterprise's growth, assets, sustainability, or defined objectives. The ESRM supports the process of identifying the set of security risks to be monitored actively and to deliver scenarios of efficient actions. It also offers recommendations to senior managers and stakeholders in the form of routine and executive actions and reports. In this chapter, the author implemented his research on a specific mixed method that is supported by a heuristics component, the applied holistic mathematical model for enterprise security risk management (AHMM4ESRM). The AHMM4ESRM can be also used for financial, operations, and governance services to detect various types of irregularities.
US Dependance on Chinese Pharma and Nationalization of the US System
Authors: Ferri Adriano , Bongarzoni Paolo
Published: April 2022

The severe impact of the coronavirus pandemic has indeed prompted several questions about economic and social security. Among them is placed the current concern about the possible nationalization of the U.S. pharmaceutical industry due to the fear of a possible generic drugs shortage. More importantly, since the United States imports most of its drugs from other countries (e.g. China), is the impact of Covid-19 on the pharmaceutical industry the catalyst for a future nationalization for the U.S. pharmaceutical industry? Are there real reasons to support this prospect, or is it an old argument renewed by fear?

Authors: Kapoor Samir , Singh Gurmeet , Arya Rajesh Chand , Singh Vikrampal , Garg Arun , Ralhan Sarju , Gupta Vivek Kumar , Mohan Bishav , Wander Gurpreet Singh , Gupta Rajiv Kumar
Published: April 2022

Purpose:

The purpose of this study was to review the effect of the pre-operative use of clopidogrel and aspirin on peri-operative bleeding, blood product transfusion, and resource utilization after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).

Materials and Methods:

A total of 1200 patients who underwent off-pump CABG (OPCABG) between 2010 and 2012 were retrospectively studied. Patients were divided into three groups: group 1: discontinued aspirin and clopidogrel 6 days prior to surgery (n = 468), group 2: discontinued both drugs 3 to 5 days prior to surgery (n = 621), and group 3: discontinued both drugs 2 days prior to surgery (n = 111). The bleeding pattern and blood product transfusion were studied and compared between the groups. Patients having history of other drugs affecting the coagulation profile, other organ dysfunction, on-pump CABG, and the combined procedure were excluded from the study.

Results:

Group 2 patients had a higher rate of bleeding and a reduced mean value of hemoglobin (Hb) as compared to other groups. The same results were seen in blood and blood product transfusion. Patients of group 2 and group 3 were associated with higher blood loss in terms of drainage at 12 and 24 hours. Post-operatively, this was statistically significant. Re-exploration was statisitically significant in group 3 patients (9.01%) than in group 2 (2.58%) and group 1 (1.07%) patients.

Conclusion:

The pre-operative use of clopidogrel and aspirin in patients undergoing OPCABG showed limited clinical benefits; however, its use significantly increased the risk of bleeding and blood transfusion, thus increasing morbidity and resource utilization. Hence, clopidogrel and aspirin should be stopped at least 6 days prior to surgery.

Thyroid carcinoma as a dural mass
Authors: Narayanan Sivaranjini , Hiryur Srilakshmi P.
Published: April 2022

Context:

Distant metastasis is a rare, primary manifestation of follicular carcinoma of the thyroid.

Case Report:

We report a case of a 72-year-old woman presenting with a solid mass located in the left parieto-occipital region. The 3D computed tomography (CT) showed a large solid mass supplied by branches of the external carotid artery. After magnetic resonance imaging, a probable diagnosis of meningioma was made. The patient underwent surgery where a soft mass invading the superior sagittal sinus was encountered and resected. Histological examination revealed a thyroid follicular neoplasm with positive staining for thyroglobulin and thyroid transcription factor I on immunohistochemical analysis. Postoperatively, levels of thyroid hormones were normal. Subsequent ultrasonogram revealed a nodule in the thyroid gland, which on fine needle aspiration cytology was diagnosed as a follicular neoplasm. Treatment was planned for the thyroid gland, the patient receiving chemotherapy including sorafenib.

Conclusions:

The present case emphasizes that although they are uncommon, dural metastasis can be mistaken for meningiomas. Confirmation of diagnosis as meningioma should be established only after the histopathological analysis. Thyroid follicular carcinoma should be included in the differential diagnosis in cases of extrinsic tumoral lesions.
Biomedical waste management in Panchakarma practice
Authors: Kabra Diksha N. , Bhatted Santosh K. , Dharmarajan Prasanth
Published: April 2022

Ayurveda is a traditional medical system of India. In Ayurveda, Panchakarma (fivefold detoxification treatment) procedures are designed for internal purification and cleansing. As per the Indian government's initiative (launched in September 2014), Ayurveda is part of wellness industry. There is a constant rise in the number of Ayurveda clinics, hospitals, wellness centers, and spas in India. The various Panchakarma procedures performed in these hospitals, clinics, wellness centers, and spas generate biomedical wastes (BMW). Metropolitan areas in India bring about 62 million tonnes of wastes annually, and this figure is predicted to rise to 165 million tonnes by 2030. Forty-three million tonnes of the municipal solid waste are collected every year, of which 31 million are disposed of in landfills and only 11.9 million are treated. Pharmaceutical wastes are one among them. Reports from the Indian medicinal plant industries indicate that presently more than 9000 plant industries are registered in India, which produces a huge amount of waste each year. This has created a need in the proper management of waste generated. Here is the description and discussion of categorization, classification, and treatment options for waste generated during Panchakarma procedures in Ayurveda hospitals. Effective and proper management of the BMW is necessary to maintain personal as well as environmental health. The current available techniques for the treatment of waste generated during Panchakarma procedure are sewage drainage, incineration, and landfill. Nothing turns around to be waste until it is being not used further with intelligence. The natural cycles of life taught us the same through science: utilizing of three Rs of ideal waste management. While further advancement can include the use of phytoremediation, composting, vermicomposting, biofiltration, bioaugmentation and use of solar energy in waste management.
Ayurveda multimodal treatment approach for the management of generalized plaque psoriasis
Authors: Mehere Nikhil A. , Makwana Sarika M. , Chaudhary Swapnil Y. , Bedarkar Prashant , Patgiri B J
Published: April 2022

Background:

Plaque psoriasis typically presents with large, oval-circular plaques over the scalp, trunk, and extensor body surface. In Ayurveda, all the skin diseases depict under the heading “Kustha” (skin diseases). Among them, “Ekakustha” (psoriasis) is further explained under the title “Kshudra Kustha” (minor skin diseases). It is characterized by the hyperproliferation of the epidermal cells resulting in plaque formation over the lesions and may get severe and progress into the pustular subtype.

Aim:

Plaque psoriasis is compared with Ekakushtha in Ayurveda because of its resemblance to disease condition that is described in the Ayurveda classics. The aim of this study was to treat a patient with Ayurveda multimodal treatment approach.

Materials and Methods:

We, herein, reported a case of a woman aged 29 years complaining about reddish lesions over the scalp, peripheral area of eyes, trunk, back, and upper and lower extremities with intense pruritus since the last 8 months. Itching leads to scaling and trickling of blood from lesions. The patient was diagnosed with generalized plaque psoriasis. This case was treated by internal as well as topical medicament with the cessation of known etiological factors.

Results:

A significant reduction in the symptoms within 98 days of treatment without reported relapse manifestation of previous symptoms. The scores of 18, 10, and 2 were observed before treatment, after treatment, and after follow-up period, respectively, on the symptomatic relief in signs and symptoms of Ekakushtha. The Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) score was adopted as the assessment of severity of case. The PASI score is zero after the treatment and 12.2 before the treatment. The Ayurveda multimodal treatment approach gives miraculous result in this type of complex nature of psoriasis disease.
Assessment of uremic sarcopenia in dialysis patients
Authors: Lin Yu-Li , Hsu Bang-Gee
Published: April 2022

Uremic sarcopenia, which is highly prevalent in dialysis patients, leads to an increased risk of adverse outcomes, such as poor quality of life, falls, fracture, hospitalization, and even mortality. Therefore, early detection of uremic sarcopenia is crucial for administering quick and adequate multidisciplinary therapy to improve clinical outcomes. This review updates the current information about uremic sarcopenia assessment in chronic dialysis patients. We discuss the methods of assessing skeletal muscle mass, strength, and physical performance. We also discuss surrogate markers derived from serum and dialysate creatinine, in addition to emerging screening tools. The prevalence, clinical relevance, and impact of uremic sarcopenia on survival are reviewed and we discuss the limitations and challenges in applying the current working definition of sarcopenia based on the senior population to dialysis patients. The review shows that dialysis patients with skeletal muscle weakness or poor physical performance, either with or without low skeletal muscle mass, should undergo multidisciplinary therapy, included nutritional counseling, lifestyle modification, and exercise intervention, to mitigate the detrimental effects of uremic sarcopenia.

Published: April 2022

Chagas disease caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, remains one of the leading public health problems in Latin America. The number of infections in nonendemic countries continues to rise as a consequence of migratory flows. Updated information on prevalence, especially in treatable stages, together with vector eradication programs are key factors in an attempt to control the disease. We aim to estimate the prevalence of T. cruzi infection in an endemic area of Argentina and to describe epidemiological and clinical factors related to the disease. This is a cross-sectional study in an endemic rural area of Argentina. Our target population was people between 10 and 20 years of age, collecting demographic, clinical, and electrocardiographic data and seroprevalence against T. cruzi. We included 460 subjects; 76.7% did not have drinking water; 49.3% reported the presence of Triatoma infestans at home; 79.1% had pets or birds; 72.6% lived close to a chicken coop; 24.6% lived in adobe houses; 27.8% lived in overcrowded conditions. Seroprevalence was 9.33%. In the multivariate analysis, the presence of Triatoma infestans at home (OR 2.08, P = 0.03) had an association with seropositivity. No relevant findings indicating acute or chronic organ involvement were detected. We found no correlation of right bundle branch block (RBBB) and Chagas disease in our population. None of the infected patients were previously aware of their condition, highlighting the importance of active surveillance to detect infection in a potentially treatable stage, especially in areas with difficult access to health programs.

Published: April 2022

The biodeterioration of painted walls have been associated with several biological mechanisms such as organic acid production and enzymatic activity of microorganisms amongst other factors. Therefore, this study aims to reveal the involvement of amylases and proteases from indigenous microbes on biodeteriorating painted walls. Microbial strains isolated from biodeteriorating painted walls of selected buildings in Lagos, Nigeria and previously characterized as belonging to the genera Pseudomonas, Candida, Fusarium, Aspergillus, Cerrena and Meyerozyma were used in this study. Amylolytic and proteolytic activities at varying conditions of temperature, pH, incubation time and substrate concentrations were tested. To bridge the knowledge gaps regarding statistical quantification of enzymatic mechanisms in biodeterioration, the Wilcoxon signed rank sum test was used to test the hypothesis that amylolytic/proteolytic activities are equal at all conditions tested. The conditions for optimal activity were observed to be 24h, 37oC, pH 2 and 0.01% substrate concentration and 48h, 25oC, pH 2, and 1% substrate concentration for amylase and protease respectively. Wilcoxon signed rank test revealed that amylolytic and proteolytic activities do not impact aesthetics on painted walls equally at all environmental conditions considered.

The liberalization process of the gas sector has showed that the reasoning to introduce competition in gas industries separates the services in at least two groups: commodities with relatively low transaction costs, and hence suitable to short-term market coordination, and network services which concentrate most of the specificities related to the physical flows. However, the way to coordinate such network services is still under debate. In this view, in USA specific services are coordinated through long-term contracts, whereas the EU regulatory frame socializes the costs of the network services. In this paper, we develop a general analysis of the major consequences of this fundamental regulatory choice. In addition, we build on such analysis to explain the differences among the current proposals to design the coming European Internal Market.

Background: Knowledge and attitudes of healthcare providers regarding opioid toxicity are significant concerns.   Objective: Investigate the knowledge, attitudes, awareness, and comfort level regarding overdosing among a sample of healthcare providers working at the Armed Forces Hospital Southern Region (AFHSR).     Methods: Anonymous surveys were administered to AFHSR staff to assess attitude, knowledge, comfort level, and fear of consequences using a 5-point scale. Participants were AFHSR primary care physicians/internists, surgeons, physician assistants/advanced practice registered nurses, and pharmacists.     Results: Healthcare providers demonstrated a lack of knowledge, awareness, and fear of the consequences associated with opioid use, overdose, and the indications and administration of naloxone. This study’s findings indicate that healthcare providers are hesitant to engage in discussions with patients about preventative measures for opioid overdose, with the majority believing that doing so will make no difference in preventing opioid overdose incidence. Additionally, a distinct difference in knowledge and perceptions of opioid abuse and toxicity was found between nurses and physicians. Further, the findings indicate a difference in knowledge and awareness regarding opioid overdose and toxicity between nurses and pharmacists.
