A new hope in the management of hematologic malignancy: immunotherapy
Authors: Başgöz Bilgin Bahadır , Solmaz İhsan , Kılıç Jehat
Published: March 2023

In recent years, Hodgkin's and Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma incidence is increasing all over the world. In the United States, lymphomas are the fourth most common malignancies among all. Lymphoid malignancies have a broad spectrum from mild indolent types, such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL), follicular lymphoma(FL), marginal zone lymphoma, and cutaneous T-cell lymphoma to aggressive types such as diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), mantle cell lymphoma, Burkitt's lymphoma, peripheral T-cell lymphoma. With better response rates to chemotherapy, longer disease-free survival and overall survival rates, lymphomas have satisfactory treatment results rather than solid organ tumors for oncologists. Throughout history, conventional chemotherapy agents, radiotherapy and their combinations have been used for the treatment of lymphoma. Especially, in the early stages of Hodgkin's lymphoma, a rate of 85-90% complete remission and high rate long-term remission can be achieved. However, despite this high response rate, 15-30% of patients are resistant to treatment. With current therapiesresponse rate and persistent long-term remission rate in Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas are around 50%. Therefore, new therapeutic approaches such as immunotherapy and the using of cytotoxic properties of T cells against tumor has been developed and used in recent years for the treatment of refractory lymphoma.
Crush syndrome: a review of current knowledge and treatment strategies
Authors: Koç Alparslan
Published: March 2023

Crush syndrome is a severe systemic manifestation resulting from the breakdown of muscle cells leading to the release of toxic substances into the bloodstream. This condition can occur when a part of the body experiences a significant amount of pressure for an extended period. Crush syndrome presents with severe metabolic disruptions such as acute kidney injury, electrolyte disturbances, and cardiovascular collapse. It is essential to understand the pathophysiology and clinical features of crush syndrome for effective management and prevention of potentially devastating outcomes. The act of crushing and rupturing muscular cells generates a mechanical force that triggers the discharge of myoglobin. Subsequently, myoglobin undergoes a conversion into metmyoglobin and acid hematin, which are subsequently released into the systemic circulation. The muscular tissue harbors a variety of electrolytes and enzymes, which may attain toxic levels upon entry into the circulation in excessive quantities. The release of sodium, calcium, and fluids due to regional ischemia leads to increased muscle volume and tension, depletion of creatine kinase (CK) and ATP, and muscle vasodilation, further exacerbating hypotension. Crush syndrome can also lead to cardiovascular instability and renal failure due to vasomotor and nephrotoxic factors. Elevations in serum CK levels exceeding 1000 IU/l, along with accompanying clinical features, are widely recognized as indicative of crush syndrome. Diagnostic investigations commonly involve assessing serum levels of aldolase, myoglobin, and myoglobin degradation products. Progressive increases in serum levels of lactic acid, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) are observed, while levels of serum urea and creatinine exhibit a steep rise, particularly following prolonged compression, and serve as valuable predictors of renal failure. The treatment of crush syndrome requires a multidisciplinary approach that addresses the metabolic, cardiovascular, and renal complications associated with this condition. The mainstay of treatment includes early release of the affected limb or compartment, fluid resuscitation, correction of electrolyte abnormalities, and alkalinization of urine. Additionally, renal replacement therapy and hyperbaric oxygen therapy may be beneficial in managing acute kidney injury and tissue hypoxia, respectively. Crush syndrome, albeit infrequent, represents a potentially fatal medical condition that demands a thorough comprehension of its underlying pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, and treatment modalities. Early recognition and appropriate management of this condition can significantly r,educe morbidity and mortality associated with crush syndrome.

Published: March 2023

Craniopharyngiomas are the most common sellar or suprasellar tumors in childhood. The most critical issue in neuro anesthesia is to ensure adequate cerebral perfusion pressure and appropriate surgical conditions without disturbing the autoregulation of the cerebral circulation. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of anesthetic management in successful craniopharyngioma surgery in pediatric patients. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of anesthetic management in successful craniopharyngioma surgery in pediatric patients. Transsphenoidal pituitary surgery was planned. The patient, who had no intraoperative complications, was extubated postoperatively and transferred to the intensive care unit for close monitoring. Non-invasive monitoring (pulse oximetry, ECG, blood pressure, and temperature monitoring) was performed. A precordial USG was prepared to detect air embolism. Moderate hypothermia of 34-36°C was achieved. The patient, who had no intraoperative complications, was extubated postoperatively and transferred to the intensive care unit for close monitoring. The goals of anesthesia for transsphenoidal pituitary surgery include optimizing cerebral oxygenation, maintaining hemodynamic stability, managing intraoperative complications, and facilitating a rapid and smooth recovery.
A rare case: negative-pressure pulmonary edema after routine rhinoplasty
Authors: Şencan Ziya , Peker Kevser
Published: March 2023

Negative-pressure pulmonary edema (NPPE) is a very rare and dangeorus condition that generally occurs after general anesthesia in otorhinolaryngology practices. Post-obstructive pulmonary edema or NPPE caused by an acute pulmonary edema secondary to upper respiratory tract obstruction. Its sudden appearance in the early postoperative period can stress the surgeon and the anesthesiologist.
Difficult breathing effort due to upper airway obstruction creates strong changes in intra-thoracic pressure, and high negative intrathoracic pressure increases the permeability of the alveolar capillary membrane, causing significant fluid changes in the pulmonary tissues.
Treatment should be evaluated together with anesthesiologist or pulmonologist and the first goal should be to reduce the hypoxia.

Authors: Dinçer Metin , Karataş Yunus Emre , AKYOL Mesut
Published: March 2023

Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence and prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and COPD-related deaths by gender in Turkey.
Methods: The data used in the study, covering the years 1990-2019, were taken from the estimation data prepared for Turkey within the global burden of disease study by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME). Mann-Whitney test was applied to compare the variables according to gender. Non-parametric Spearman rank correlation coefficient was calculated to determine the relationships between variables.
Results: The difference between the mean ranks of the total number of prevalences, the total number of incidences, and the total number of deaths by gender were statistically significant. A strong and linear association was found between the risk factors and deaths due to COPD.
Conclusion: Policies are needed to decrease the risk factors that lead to the development of COPD. The more risk factors can be controlled, the more lives can be saved.
Tuberculosis with isolated atelectasis: a case report
Authors: Demirkaya Ayşe , Kurt Bahar , Ensarioglu Kerem
Published: March 2023

Introduction
Tuberculosis is a significant health issue in developing countries, with the World Health Organization reporting over 10 million cases worldwide in 2014. While methods exist for rapid investigation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, radiological imaging may lead to an earlier suspicion, such as presence of cavitation. In this case report, a patient with only radiological finding being atelectasis will be presented.
Case Presentation
An 18 years old female patient with no specific medical background history had been evaluated at an outpatient clinic with complaints of cough and exertional dyspnea. After a fluoroquinolone treatment for 7 days given for a pericardiac density in chest radiography, patient was admitted due to limited clinical response. A chest tomography was performed while the patient was under wide spectrum antibiotics and atelectasis in right lower lobe was observed. Repeated Acid-Fast Bacilli smears and sputum samples were found negative and bronchoscopy sampling did not show any findings of obstruction. Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex DNA was later detected in the lavage samples for which antituberculosis treatment was initiated with a regimen of isoniazid 5 mg/kg, pyrazinamide 25 mg/kg, ethambutol 15 mg/kg, and rifampin 10mg/kg.
Discussion
The diagnosis of tuberculosis, in this case, was probably masked during the AFB smear testing due to a treatment regimen of fluoroquinolone. The general radiological definition of tuberculosis primarily consists of older studies, with the expected presentation being a combination of cavitation and infiltration. Normal lung imaging results had also been described for tuberculosis regarding chest radiography, and studies have reported the presence of atelectasis in patients with tuberculosis, as seen in tomography case series; however, the isolation of atelectasis had not been specified in the studies.
Conclusion
Pulmonary tuberculosis may present itself with a myriad of radiological findings. This presentation often complicates the diagnostic process; however, differential diagnosis can be achieved via a combination of clinical symptoms and rapid culture sampling.

: O presente trabalho aborda a internação compulsória para usuários de crack. O crack é um dos mais preocupantes problemas de saúde pública na sociedade atual, por ser uma droga de alto poder de viciar e alto poder destrutivo e por trazer consequências impactantes não só para o indivíduo, mas para toda a sociedade. Visto que, não é assunto ligado somente à saúde e sim traz aspectos da medicina forense. É problema social grave, por conseguinte um índice elevado na criminalidade, prostituição e insegurança aos demais cidadãos. Assim, coloca-se como hipótese desse trabalho a análise da medicina forense: a internação compulsória como uma garantia do direito à vida, pelo fato do usuário de crack se tornar psicologicamente e fisicamente incapaz de responder por sua conduta, gerando consequências sociais desastrosas. O tema em epígrafe é atual e polêmico por haver colisão entre direitos, como, o direito à vida e o direito à liberdade, pois o dependente é levado sem o seu consentimento, nesse sentido que nasce a internação compulsória como medida de trazer de volta esse usuário ao mundo social. O objetivo principal é analisar a internação compulsória com objetivo de defesa a vida, aos direitos humanos, a dignidade da pessoa humana, garantidos estes pela Carta Magna; Identificar os efeitos do crack e suas consequências na sociedade. Realizar um levantamento sobre a eficácia da internação compulsória em um aspecto geral; Identificar as políticas públicas de combate ao Crack.

Contrasting growth and mortality responses of different species lead to shifts in tropical montane tree community composition in a warmer climate

Published: March 2023

Abstract. The response of tropical trees and tree communities to climate change is crucial for the carbon storage and biodiversity of the terrestrial biosphere. Trees in tropical montane rainforests (TMFs) are considered particularly vulnerable to climate change, but this hypothesis remains poorly evaluated due to data scarcity. To reduce the knowledge gap on the response of TMFs trees to warming, we established a field experiment along a 1300–2400 m elevation gradient in Rwanda. Twenty tree species native to montane forests in East and Central Africa were planted in multispecies plots at three sites along the gradient. They have overlapping distributions but primarily occur in either transitional rainforest (1600–2000 m a.s.l) or mid elevation TMF (2000–3000 m a.s.l.), with both early- (ES) and late-successional (LS) species represented in each elevation origin group. Tree growth (diameter and height) and survival were monitored regularly over two years. We found that ES species, especially from lower elevations, grew faster at warmer sites while several of the LS species, especially from higher elevations, did not respond or grew slower. Moreover, a warmer climate increased tree mortality in LS species, but not much in ES species. ES species with transitional rainforest origin strongly increased in proportion of stand basal area at warmer sites, while TMF species declined, suggesting that lower-elevation ES species will have an advantage over higher-elevation species in a warming climate. The risk of higher-elevation and LS species to become outcompeted by lower-elevation and ES species in a warmer climate has important implications for biodiversity and carbon storage of Afromontane forests.
Combining local model calibration with the emergent constraint approach to reduce uncertainty in the tropical land carbon cycle feedback
Authors: Raoult Nina , Jupp Tim , Booth Ben , Cox Peter
Published: March 2023

Abstract. The role of the land carbon cycle in climate change remains highly uncertain. A key source of projection spread is related to the assumed response of photosynthesis to warming, especially in the tropics. The optimum temperature for photosynthesis determines whether warming positively or negatively impacts photosynthesis, thereby amplifying or suppressing CO2 fertilisation of photosynthesis under CO2-induced global warming. Land carbon cycle models have been extensively calibrated against local eddy flux measurements, but this has not previously been clearly translated into a reduced uncertainty in how the tropical land carbon sink will respond to warming. Using a previous parameter perturbation ensemble carried out with version 3 of the Hadley Centre coupled climate-carbon cycle model (HadCM3C), we identify an emergent relationship between the optimal temperature for photosynthesis, which is especially relevant in tropical forests, and the projected amount of atmospheric CO2 at the end of the century. We combine this with a constraint on the optimum temperature for photosynthesis, derived from eddy-covariance measurements using the adjoint of the JULES land-surface model. Taken together, the emergent relationship from the coupled model and the constraint on the optimum temperature for photosynthesis define an emergent constraint on future atmospheric CO2 in the HadCM3C coupled climate-carbon cycle under a common emissions scenario (A1B). The emergent constraint sharpens the probability density of simulated CO2 change (2100–1900) and moves its peak to a lower value: 497 ± 91 compared to 607 ± 128 ppmv when using the equal-weight prior. Although this result is likely to be model and scenario dependent, it demonstrates the potential of combining the large-scale emergent constraint approach with parameter estimation using detailed local measurements.
Optimized Stochastic Representation of Soil States Model Uncertainty of WRF (v4.2) in the Ensemble Data Assimilation System
Authors: Lim Sujeong , Park Seon Ki , Cassardo Claudio
Published: March 2023

Abstract. The ensemble data assimilation (EDA) system represents the model uncertainties by ensemble spread that is a standard deviation of ensemble background error covariance (BEC). However, this ensemble spread is usually underestimated due to insufficient ensemble size, sampling errors, and imperfect models: it often causes a filter divergence problem as the analysis ignores the observation due to insufficient model uncertainty. This phenomenon is also found in the coupled land-atmospheric modeling system, especially near the surface where the heat flux exchanges are crucial as the lower boundary conditions. We have developed the stochastic perturbations to soil states scheme (SPSS) within the coupled Weather Research and Forecasting-Noah Land Surface Model (WRF-Noah LSM) to represent the near surface uncertainty. It perturbs soil temperature and soil moisture, respectively, by adding the random forcing to inflate the ensemble spread. The random forcing used in perturbation is controlled by the tuning parameters such as amplitude, decorrelation length and time scale, which vary depending on the target variables. To obtain the optimal random forcing tuning parameters to the soil states, we have implemented a global optimization algorithm – the micro-genetic algorithm, which operates the principles of natural selection or survival of the fittest to evolve the best potential solution having small populations. Optimizations are performed on daytime and nighttime to account for diurnal variations of soil states and evaluated by a fitness function that describes the interaction between the land and atmospheric systems in terms of accuracy. As a result, the soil temperature and soil moisture perturbations with SPSS can indirectly inflate the ensemble BECs of temperature and water vapor mixing ratio in the planetary boundary layer (PBL) of the EDA system. The SPSS with diurnal variations depicts reasonable ensemble spread for soil states, but the ensemble spread for atmospheric states from the propagation of the soil states perturbations is less effective. Furthermore, the inflated soil temperature helps to produce an adequate analysis increment reducing the background error of temperature in PBL. Soil moisture, however, requires more prescriptions to generate an adequate analysis increment reducing the background error of water vapor mixing ratio in PBL.

Atributos divinos del primer moviente inmóvil en la Física de Aristóteles
Authors: Rego Thomas
Published: March 2023

Un análisis de las diversas pruebas de la existencia del primer moviente inmóvil, presentes en la Física de Aristóteles, nos permite inferir una serie de cualidades que emergen de aquéllas. Estas cualidades son propias de lo que suele considerarse como una substancia divina. Así, a partir de las diversas pruebas emergen dos tipos de cualidades: por un lado, en relación con la trascendencia del primer moviente inmóvil respecto de la naturaleza, se destaca su inmovilidad, su eternidad, su impasibilidad, su separación con respecto a los restantes entes, su ser inteligencia, su unicidad, su poseer potencia ilimitada, su inmaterialidad, y, por otro lado, en relación con su poder sobre el mundo, se advierte su causalidad sobre el movimiento del mundo, su dominio sobre los entes, su abarcarlos y, en fin, su ser causa del ser y del no ser. Estos atributos encuentran su punto de contacto en aquel atributo, sin nombre, por el cual este agente es un ‘principio no natural que mueve naturalmente’.

Published: March 2023

The research aimed to investigate the variability of the acrylamide content in French potato fries depending on the type of oil and the length and conditions of deep-frying. Deep-frozen pre-fried potato French fries primarily intended for catering establishments were deep-fried parallel in two oils (multi-component oil and rapeseed oil) at the same conditions (175 °C/4 min and 200 °C/3 min) until the limit for total polar compounds (TPCs) content (24%) was reached. The samples were analysed immediately after removal from the package, after the first frying and when the TPCs was exceeded. High-performance liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC/ESI-MS/MS) was used to determine acrylamide. Mathematical and statistical evaluation of the results was according to the indicators of descriptive characteristics, i.e., arithmetic mean, standard deviation (SD), and coefficient of variation (%). Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare groups, i.e., the assumption of agreement of variance was verified by the F test (F). All pairwise differences in means were tested using Tukey's HSD test (Honest Significantly Different) and Scheffe´s test. The critical value of α, compared to the standardized difference between the means, was established using our chosen risk of 5%. The highest acrylamide values were measured in samples deep-fried in rapeseed oil at 200 °C/3 min in sample 2b (451.13 µg/kg when deep-fried immediately) and in sample 2d (383.24 µg/kg after exceeding TPCs). The lowest values of acrylamide were found in samples deep-fried in multi-component oil at a temperature of 200 °C/3 min in sample 1d (183.35 µg/kg after exceeding TPCs) and at a temperature of 175 °C/4 min in sample 1c (240.75 µg/kg after exceeding TPCs). The decreased tendency of acrylamide in both types of oils and variants of temperature after exceeding TPCs compared to the state immediately after frying is confirmed for all samples. Potato-based products are a significant source of acrylamide production and subsequent consumption. Monitoring its presence in food is, therefore, an important legislative requirement.

Authors: S. Farag Radwan , S. Emam Sekina,
Published: March 2023

The present study aimed to through some light on the herbicidal and fungicidal activities of pomegranate peels and leave crude juices. Therefore, leave and peels of pomegranate plants were manually separated and mechanically pressed to obtain their crude juices. Pomegranate juices were tested in vitro for herbicidal activities against five weed seeds (Avena fatua L., Polypogen monspeliensis L., Imperata cylindrical, Capsella bursa pastoris L. and Amaranthus retroflexus L.). Fungicidal activities were conducted against six fungi (Fusarium solani, Fusarium moniliforme, Fusarium oxysporum, Rhizoctonia solani, Pythium splendes and Pythium ultimum). Pomegranate crude juices reduced to variable degrees the various weed seed germination. Both juices were found to be effective in reduction of mycelia growth for all tested fungi. Pomegranate peels crude juice induced pronounced effect on the germination inhibition and fungi mycelia growth for the aforementioned weed seeds and fungi under study than that of leave crude juice. These results coincided with the data of total phenolic and flavonoid contents of pomegranate crude juices since their values were higher in peels crude juice than in leave crude juice. The results of tested parameters led to suggest that the pomegranate peels crude juice can be used as a safe agent, non-toxic and environmental friendly to possess herbicidal and fungicidal activities.

Published: March 2023

In this experimental study cumulative heat release of a variable compression ratio (VCR) Diesel engine operating with diesel and Pongamia pinnata oil blends were studied under different crank angle (-360˚ to +359˚), five different percentage loading conditions (0%, 25%, 50%, 75% & 100%), two compression ratio (17:01 & 18:01) and three different Pongamia pinnata oil blends (B10, B15 & B20) which are blended with diesel by volumetric basis (100 ml Pongamia pinnata oil: 900 ml pure Diesel, 150 ml Pongamia pinnata oil: 850 ml pure Diesel, 200 ml Pongamia pinnata oil: 800 ml pure Diesel) respectively. For comparative purpose initially the engine was run by pure Diesel. This study shows that the cumulative heat release is maximum (1.01 kJ//s) when the engine operates with Pongamia pinnata oil (B10 blend) which was blended with pure Diesel on full load conditions (100% load) at a crank angle of 42˚ and compression ratio 17:01. This study shows that the cumulative heat release is minimum (0.58 kJ/s) when the engine operates with pure Diesel on no load conditions (0% load) at a crank angle of 48˚ and compression ratio 17:01.

Air conditioning systems are responsible for increasing men's worke efficiency as well for his comfort, mainly in the warm periods of the year. Currently, the most used system is the mechanical vapor compression system. Furthermore, the higher electricity demand for cooling causes summer peaks, which may lead to high electricity prices and grid connected problems as black-outs. However, in many cases, evaporative cooling system can be an alternative to replace the conventional system, under several conditions, or as a pre-cooler in the conventional systems. Also the remaining cooling demand must be covered with alternative, environmentally friendly cooling technologies. 

Evaporative cooling operates using induced processes of heat and mass transfer, where water and air are the working fluids. It consists in water evaporation, induced by the passage of an air flow, thus decreasing the air temperature. This paper presents the basic principles of the evaporative cooling process for human thermal comfort, the principles of operation for the direct evaporative cooling system and the mathematical development of the equations of thermal exchanges, allowing the determination of the effectiveness of saturation to determine the convective heat transfer coefficient and to compare with the mathematical model.

Published: March 2023

Smart phone services have become all-encompassing in these modern life activities. These phones operate with batteries that provide the necessary electrical power. The batteries’ stored energy often got used up; and the conventional electrical power charging sources like public power supply, generating sets, solar devices among others are not only unreliable but most times totally unavailable in some villages and camp settlements. There was then the need to produce simple, inexpensive and easily accessible battery chargers for the phones. This paper therefore studies and analyses the performance of a locally-made, off-grid and renewable energy power phone charger. The device output voltage, current and hence power has been tested at varying degrees of temperatures. Finally it was tested with different heat sources like, charcoals, Gas- burner, kerosene stove, wood stove, and Camp and Barbecue fires for heat source efficiencies. The results prove that charcoals and gas-burner heat sources are the most efficient heat source for operating the heat-smart- phone charger.

Brick manufacturing is a traditional activity carried out by the practical knowledge transmitted person to person, why there is no documentation on the raw material and manufacturing process control. The objective of this study was to determine the physicochemical characteristics of the raw material used in the fabrication of the Bricks, as a first instance to be able to make future changes for the quality assurance of the process that allow increasing the resistance to compression of the bricks. A mechanical test about the compressive strength of bricks before and after heat treatment was made. In the analysis of elemental composition, the presence of the following elements was found: C, O, Na, Mg, Al, Si, K, Ca, Ti, Fe. These elements allowed to obtain a compressive strength of the bricks of 10 to 13kg/cm2 without heat treatment and 20 to 40 kg/cm2 with heat treatment. Morphologically particles of 5 to 300 micrometres were observed in the raw material, and in the Bricks of 15 to 250 micrometres. It is concluded that the great variation of particle size of the raw material leads to a low compressive strength. Other studies with more control in the homogenization of particle size are suggested to obtain greater compression strength. Besides the temperature control in the kiln used to heat treatment is needed. The International Standard ITINTEC 331,017, and the Standard NMX-C-404-1997, establishes 60N / cm2, and 24kg / cm2 as minimum respectively. This study serves as a basis for further studies to help control and ensure the quality of the bricks.

Authors: Puspita Sari Devina
Published: March 2023

Cargo Ship in dire needs good maneuverability while operating in the sea. Maneuverability is influenced by the ship's steering system which also affects the rolling stability of the ship. Rolling stability control plays an important role in the ship that can return the ship to its normal state in response to sea wave disruption, where Rudder roll is able to control the heading until the rolling motion is reduced. The disturbance used is a sea state 1 and sea state 7 in wave linear disturbances. The higher the level of interference, the longer the rolling stability reaches the steady state. The stability performance of rudder roll stabilization system has been in accordance with existing stability parameters. The maneuverability of the rudder roll stabilization system with 200 heading has an advanced distance of 275 meters in diameter.

In this study, we propose a new formulation based on a global method to model a rectangular waveguide array as antenna. Our method consists to combine the method of moment (MoM), the generalized equivalent circuit method (GECM) and Floquet modal analysis. Looking for rigor, simplicity and rapidity, we repose always on the simple discontinuity in an open rectangular waveguide. So, we extended our pervious works to study in first step an infinite rectangular waveguides array and we achieve with a finite one. For validation purpose, we consider two rectangular waveguides and we compered it whit the same structure studied by direct method in our previous study. Obtained numerical results are presented and discussed. A good agreement is shown and the boundary conditions are verified.
