Authors: Câmara Medeiros Emanuella , Estrin Marcelo Adrian
Published: June 2024

Introduction: The aim of this study is to evaluate the benefits and risks associated with testosterone treatment for postmenopausal women. Menopause is a natural phase in a woman's life marked by a decline in the production of female hormones like estrogen and progesterone. However, testosterone is also a hormone naturally produced by women, and it should be replenished when its production decreases. Although testosterone is not yet available for women due to lack of approval from the FDA (United States Food and Drug Administration), both research and clinical work have indicated its efficacy in addressing various symptoms of testosterone deficiency, including a diminished interest in sexual activity and weight gain. The objective of this article is to assess the benefits and risks of testosterone therapy in postmenopausal women by reviewing research and clinical studies that explore its use, as well as the associated side effects and risks. Materials and Methods: A systematic review was conducted, involving searches in databases such as PubMed and Google Scholar, using filters related to the topic. Initially, 42 published works were identified. Additional criteria, such as "prospective cohort studies" and "randomized clinical trials," were then applied to refine the results. The search had no language restrictions or time limitations, yielding 9 potentially relevant articles for the review. Results: However, this analysis utilized eight articles of the clinical trial or randomized trial type, retrieved from PUBMED and Google Scholar databases, highlighting the safety and effectiveness of testosterone in women. Conclusions: Following the conducted search, it was concluded that testosterone proves to be an effective treatment for postmenopausal women experiencing decreased sexual activity. Nevertheless, it is acknowledged that further research is imperative to validate its effectiveness in treating premenopausal women, as well as ensuring its safety in long-term treatment

Authors: Carvalho de Paula Heloísa Fernanda
Published: June 2024

Introduction: Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is a candidiasis of the vulva, which is caused by species of Candida spp., and affects women worldwide. Pregnant women are more susceptible to CVV due to certain risk factors. In addition, it predisposes to premature birth. Objectives: To analyze the risk factors for vaginal candidiasis in pregnancy and highlight the importance of treating vaginal candidiasis during pregnancy as a risk prevention strategy for premature rupture of the membrane and preterm labor. Material and methods: A bibliographic, descriptive and retrospective review was carried out of documents published by scientific societies that describe the current diagnostic approach and complications of candidal vulvovaginitis in pregnancy, as well as research works and scientific articles that describe prevention and treatment of vulvovaginitis. For the bibliographic search, works published in the last 5 years will be included and several documentary sources will be reviewed considering key words such as: Candida albicans, pregnancy, vulvovaginal candidiasis and vaginitis, to identify relevant and pertinent scientific articles in English and Spanish pages. , in different databases such as: PubMed, Elsevier, NCBI, Google Scholar, medical bibliography and clinical practice guidelines will also be attached. Results: Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is a common infection caused by yeasts of the genus Candida that affects pregnant women more frequently than at any other time in their lives. The prevalence of infection varies between countries, with rates ranging between 10% and 50% in Latin America. CVV during pregnancy can lead to complications such as premature birth, low birth weight, neonatal infection, and an increased risk of urinary tract infections. Treatment options for VVC during pregnancy include clotrimazole and miconazole vaginal creams or suppositories, while fluconazole is not recommended during the first trimester due to the risk of congenital malformations. Conclusion: treatment of vaginal candidiasis during pregnancy is important to prevent complications and ensure the health of the mother and fetus

Authors: Rodrigues Paz Fabrício , Capani Francisco
Published: June 2024

Introduction: Perinatal asphyxia (PA) is one of the most prevalent injuries that occur around birth, especially in less socioeconomically developed countries. The developing brain is known to be particularly vulnerable to maternal stress and environmental insults before, during and after birth. In this sense, PA is considered a risk factor for numerous neurodevelopmental disorders. Objective: The objective of the present investigation was to analyze PA as a risk factor for schizophrenia. Materials and Methods: A search for scientific articles was carried out in the PubMed and Scielo databases, following the use of prespecified criteria, such as studies carried out on human subjects and animals, in English or Spanish, with availability of access to the text. complete and that they had been published no older than 10 years. Results: AP is associated with increased mortality rates due to the redistribution of cardiac output to the brain, heart and adrenal glands. Genes linked to a greater risk of schizophrenia have been identified, which modify their expression in a scenario of hypoxia induced by cesarean section in the brains of rodents. Likewise, hypoxia reduces brain weight and various processes such as myelination and neurogenesis Conclusions: Obstetric complications related to hypoxia increase the risk of developing schizophrenia five times in adult life

Authors: Siclla Godoy Maria Kattya , Carnovale Susana Irma
Published: June 2024

Background: The Chagas-Mazza disease is an infection caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi and is considered one of the main public health problems in America. Because a large number of wild animals are T. cruzi reservoir, the lack of health policies for prevention and the lack of a vaccine, the infection cannot be eradicated. There are currently no vaccines against this Chagas disease, its development and application would be essential for the control of infection. Material and methods: A systematic review of study publications is carried out and metanalysis is carried out that integrates all available public information on the subject of study.  Results:  Over the years, a wide variety of vaccine platforms against Chagas-Mazza's disease have been investigated. The protection against the disease could be achieved by an mTS formulation plus a protein adjuvant. A recombinant protein derived from TS (TSr) together with the adjuvant CpG (TLR-9 agonist) was administered both intramuscular and intranasal with very good results. The glycosylated mutant trans-sialidase (TSm) formulation together with the adjuvant iscomatrix is highly effective, it reduces parasitemia by 50%. The nasal administration of Transpaine plus c-di-AMP is a highly immunogenic formulation that contributes to the control of the parasites, presenting less clinical evidence of infection and limited side effects.  Conclusion: several research carried out so far and the progress made by immunization with vaccines using attenuated or inactivated live antigens or parasites or recombinant proteins in experimental models with promising results for the development of a vaccine in humans
Opinion survey on organ donation
Authors: Soares Demarque Gabriel , Birnenbaum Silvia Judith
Published: June 2024

Background: In the field of contemporary medicine, receiving a transplanted organ can be the last hope for many patients suffering from advanced-stage diseases. Despite its benefits, there still persist numerous obstacles that complicate the organ donation process. Presented here are the main findings of a survey that explores the opinions of healthcare personnel and ordinary citizens regarding organ donation. Material and methods: A prospective, open-label, observational, descriptive study was conducted using a non-validated survey adapted from Grupo Ángeles Servicios de Salud. A total of 65 surveys were administered at the Graphic Clinic of Buenos Aires City, and 65 surveys were given to citizens of Buenos Aires City. Results: The gathered information was categorized into four content-based categories: I. Knowledge of the issue; II. Attitudes towards the donation process; III. Personal actions taken; IV. Expectations regarding the organ transplant process. The results are presented in table format, and no statistically significant differences were observed among them. Conclusion: It is not feasible to reach a categorical conclusion regarding whether health personnel show a greater willingness to donate organs compared to citizens in general. This is due, in part, to the equivalence of the results and the size of the sample, obtaining a result that may not be representative of the entire population. It is possible that increasing the number of people who register as organ donors will increase the number of transplants

Authors: Néspola María Luz , Acosta Sero Marcela Ommi
Published: June 2024

Background: Obesity as a global health problem has increased significantly. It is a chronic disease associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Since conventional treatments are not enough, bariatric surgery has had a considerable efficacy in relation to weight loss and reduction in the prevalence of comorbidities associated with it, however, the micronutrient deficits already existing in obesity may be altered even after the surgical intervention.  The aim of this study will be to describe the behavior of micronutrient deficits in adults undergoing laparoscopic vertical sleeve gastrectomy.). Material and methods: An observational, retrospective, analytical and longitudinal design with a cross-sectional component, of an adult population between 21 and 70 years of age, both biological sexes, with a diagnosis of morbid obesity (BMI) greater than or equal to 40 kg/m) submitted to a GVM, followed up for a minimum of 12 months post-surgery. The data of interest were weight loss, the presence of anemia, and deficiency of folic acid, vitamin B12, and vitamin D, preoperatively and at 3.6 and 12 months post- surgery, as well as the trajectory of these parameters over time according to sex. Results: 268 patients were included, 54% (n= 145) were men, the mean age at the time of surgery was 43.4 years. Most had a history of obesity from one of their parents and developed obesity in childhood or adolescence. The percentage of patients with a percentage of excess weight lost (PEPP) greater than or equal to 50% was 86.9% at 12 months. The prevalence of anemia was higher at 12 postoperative months and the deficiency of folic acid, vitamin B12 and vitamin D predominated at the preoperative moment, steadily reducing from 3 to 12 postoperative months. No differences were observed between sexes. Conclusion: Bariatric surgery continues to be an effective technique of choice for sustained and rapid weight loss compared to conventional treatments for morbid obesity. It is necessary to monitor the status of micronutrients in the long term, encourage and motivate the use of supplementation together with a long-term individualized interdisciplinary follow-up, as nodal requirements for the improvement and/or resolution of deficits

The role of marketing research in marketing plans and strategies is very important through idea generation. Market research can help in creating business ideas. Especially for those who are just starting their own business, this will provide an overview of the market they will be targeting and will be a consideration in taking future steps. Apart from that, the variety of ideas to choose from is not just one business idea, from conducting market research you will get a variety of ideas to choose from. Next, you can note down several variations of existing ideas according to your interests so that they can then become alternative choices. One of the obstacles often encountered in developing a business is difficulty developing a concept. With marketing research, you can obtain a variety of information and data that can be used as an option for creating a business plan. Another thing that is no less important is that through marketing research you will be presented with a variety of the latest trends. This is quite important considering that market conditions move quite quickly from time to time. By following existing trends, you will obtain a variety of information that can be taken into consideration when implementing the next marketing strategy. Marketing research can also play a role in product development. Changing market conditions in terms of tastes and trends must be followed by product development through market research. The role of market research which is no less important is to test the market or market research can be used as an experiment to see whether the results of existing research are in line with the desired expectations so that it will ultimately lead to commercialization or the creation of sales. The things described above have not currently been carried out in a structured manner for MSMEs in Kuningan Regency, so that the products produced have relatively not experienced significant growth either in terms of the number of sales or product variants produced.

ASSESSING THE PSYCHOLOGICAL HELP-SEEKING ATTITUDES AMONG MALAYSIAN AND INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
Authors:   Universiti Malaysia Sabah, Athinarayananrao Kesantini
Published: June 2024

ABSTRACT Mental health issues have become prevalent among youth, particularly among university students. However, the utilization of psychological services remains low. Despite the mismatch, limited studies explored the psychological help-seeking attitudes and their barriers in a cross-cultural context. This study aimed to examine the differences of in terms of gender, openness, value and need in seeking professional help among Malaysian and International university students. The findings of this study will aid in the implementation of better policies to ensure the wellbeing of both Malaysian and International university students. The data was collected in May 2022 using a cross-sectional survey questionnaire distributed at one of the public universities in Malaysia (n=54). The results revealed that the psychological help-seeking attitudes among International students and Malaysian are similar and low, albeit the insignificance. However, males and females are found to have a significantly small difference in the value and need in seeking professional help. Broadly, the results of this work inform that psychological help-seeking attitudes are most likely the same for both Malaysian and International students. Therefore, it is crucial for researchers to explore the current factors that hinder students from perceiving psychological help as a need.

Cotton Response to Nitrogen Derived from Leguminous Cover Crops and Urea Ammonium Nitrate
Authors: Foote William , Edmisten Keith , Wells Randy , Jordan David , Fisher Loren
Published: June 2024

The use of legumes as a winter cover crop and green manure for subsequent summer annual crops in the southeastern U.S. has been limited due to relatively inexpensive sources of nitrogen. However, the cost of synthetic nitrogen has nearly tripled in the last 11 years, stimulating growers to reconsider the use of legumes as a cost-effective source of nitrogen. Selecting an appropriate legume species, timing of cover crop termination, and timing of summer crop planting can be adjusted to supply total season nitrogen needs of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) in North Carolina. Crimson clover (Trifolium incarnatum L.) and hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth) were used as green manures in cotton as a sole source of nitrogen in field experiments conducted in North Carolina during 2010 and 2011. The highest cotton yield and biomass were noted when cover crops were terminated by a single broadcast herbicide application at 10 days before cotton planting. Lint yield of cotton following crimson clover and hairy vetch equaled lint yield of cotton without cover crops plus 70 kg N ha-1 of liquid urea ammonium nitrate. Net return of the legume cover crop/cotton system equaled net return of the cotton liquid nitrogen system and ranged from 1,240 to 1,650 $ ha-1.
Utilization of Poultry Litter, Tillage, and Cover Crops for Cotton Production on Highly Degraded Soils in Northeast Louisiana
Authors: Lofton Josh , Haggard Beatrix , Fromme Dan , Tubana Brenda
Published: June 2024

Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) has been the main agronomic crop in northeast Louisiana for many years. However, intensive agricultural production paired with mono-cropping has resulted in decreased productivity and declining soil quality. The implementation of best management practices has the potential to alleviate many of these problems. Information is limited on the benefit of these conservation practices on these highly degraded soils. Therefore, a field trial to evaluate the effect of poultry-litter applications on cotton production and the environment was established. Trials were conducted at the Macon Ridge Research Station in Winnsboro, LA from 2008 to 2011. Poultry litter was applied at the rate of 0, 3.3, and 6.7 mg ha-1. The effect of litter applications was evaluated over both conservation and conventional tillage systems with and without a winter cover crop. Additionally, to simulate traditional production practices, an inorganic fertilizer treatment was included. Cotton lint yields of the poultry-litter treatments were significantly (P < 0.05) higher than those that received inorganic fertilizers, yielding 231, 175, 392, and 330 kg lint ha-1 more for poultry-litter applied plots compared to inorganic fertilizers in 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012, respectively. However, the application of 6.7 mg ha-1 did not significantly improve yields over the 3.3 mg ha-1 rate. A significant buildup of Mehlich-3 extractable, soil test P level was found when poultry litter was applied compared to inorganic fertilizers, with increased soil test P levels of 26 mg P kg-1 by the end of the trial. Overall, poultry litter can be used as a soil amendment in northeast Louisiana; nonetheless, management that enhances yield benefits while minimizing soil accumulation needs to be emphasized to minimize increased soil P buildup.

Authors: Queiroz Alfredo Antonio Alencar Exposito de , Cavallaro Francisco de Assis , Queiroz Alvaro Antonio Alencar
Published: June 2024

A large amount of sand sludge (SS) from rivers polluted with heavy metals is continuously dredged and often dumped into landfills, resulting in environmental pollution of soil and water. This work examines the feasibility of the utilization of iron-enriched SS from dredged polluted rivers to produce Fe-based bulk metallic glasses (Fe-BMG). Fe-BMG was prepared from SS by melt-quenching technique, and their magnetic and photochromic properties were studied. The chemical composition of the Fe-BMG was determined by X-ray fluorescence (XRF). The structural properties have been analyzed using the Raman spectroscopy (RS), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and ultraviolet-visible (UV-VIS) spectroscopy. XRF results shows that Fe-BMG contains an iron proportion of 38.8% (wt.) as the hematite (\(\alpha\)-Fe2O3), and magnetite (Fe3O4) phases. The Raman “fingerprints” of \(\alpha\)-Fe2O3 and Fe3O4 were identified at 1330 cm−1, and 300-600 cm-1, respectively. The measured saturation magnetization of Fe-BMG samples is 3.0 emu/g at 60 kOe.  A UV-VIS analysis of the Fe-BMG exposed to sunlight simulator reveals an enhanced transmission of light in the 400-700 cm-1 region. These findings confirmed the successful conversion of the hazardous SS into Fe-BMG with promising magneto-optical characteristics for a wide variety of technological applications.

Published: June 2024

The biology studies and contact toxicity of synthetic volatile compounds, namely Propionic acid and Benzaldehyde, and essential oils namely, Ocimum basilicum and Mentha piperita, and their different possible combinations evaluated against Callosobruchus maculatus and were carried out at the Department of Entomology, Annamalai University to develop an economically viable and effective alternative to chemical insecticides to manage the stored product insect pests. In the biology study, the egg period was 5±0.07 days. The larval and pupal period together was 21.24±0.67. The total development period recorded from the day of oviposition to adult emergence was 35.03±0.35 days. The maximum contact toxicity was observed in Propionic acid + Benzaldehyde with 8.73 µl LC50. Therefore, in addition to being incorporated into the storage pest management to prevent the development of resistance, combinations of essential oils and synthetic volatiles, such as propionic acid and benzaldehyde, could be used as an alternative to the chemical fumigants that are mostly used to control pests of stored products.

Published: June 2024

La educación en México experimentó un cambio radical debido a la pandemia de COVID-19. Se adoptó y adaptó la educación a distancia en diferentes modalidades en este periodo, lo que lleva a inferir que para la Ciudad de México se repitió el patrón. Pues durante este periodo, también fue necesario recurrir a esta forma de enseñanza. Esto devino en que los docentes tuvieran una mayor responsabilidad en el manejo de las tecnologías de información y comunicación, mientras que los estudiantes se enfrentaron una brecha tecnológica que afectó la consolidación de aprendizajes significativos. Así, esta investigación se efectuó con un diseño metodológico cualitativo a partir de una revisión documental integradora, con alcance descriptivo-correlacional y deductivo. En un periodo de observación comprendido entre el 1 de enero de 2020 al 29 de junio de 2023, sobre 36 artículos arbitrados, dando como resultado la observación particular a 5 de ellos. Los resultados apuntan a que la adaptabilidad tecnológica en docentes y estudiantes de enseñanza superior de la Ciudad de México durante la pandemia de COVID-19 (2020-2022), fue buena para quienes tuvieron acceso a ella, pero no exitosa, por la segregación detectada resultante de la brecha tecnológica.

Through an exploratory literature search, the author aims to use these realistic recruitment strategies to appeal to the Generation Z hospitality workers and examine the benefits and drawbacks for them. This paper surveys the research on four main key words: 1. Work passion, based on the model of two dimensions by Vallerand et al. (2003): harmonious passion and obsessive passion, 2. Talent management, which contrasts the conventional approach to talent management with the post-pandemic era and the emergence of ESG, 3. Front-line hospitality service staff, describing their roles and significance, 4. What are the traits of Generation Z that distinguish them from other generations. Next, the researcher reviews the 7 characteristics of Gen Z from the literature findings and explore how to enhance the motivation of Gen Z hospitality frontline service staff and propose efficient management strategies based on these characteristics. The paper identifies 7 strategies to attract Gen Z to the hospitality industry with talent management. It suggests innovative and feasible ways to hire hospitality talent from the reports. It also examines how to make frontline service jobs more satisfying for Gen Z and address career challenges. The paper helps the hospitality sector in drawing Gen Z workers, who are essential to reduce the gap and shortage of workers and staff turnover.

Sleep is a crucial aspect to overall health, impacting mental and physical well-being. The classification of sleep stages is an important step to assess sleep quality, and Photoplethysmography (PPG) has been demonstrated to be an effective signal for this task. Recent works in this area usually employ complex methods that may be unfeasible to be deployed in wearable devices. In this work, we present a XGBoost model for sleep-wake classification based on features extracted from PPG signal and activity counts. The performance of our method achieved a Sensitivity of 91.15 ± 1.16%, Specificity of 53.66 ± 1.12%, F1-score of 83.88 ± 0.56%, and Kappa of 48.0 ± 0.86%. Our method offers a significant improvement over other approaches as it uses a reduced number of features, making it suitable for implementation in wearable devices that have limited computational power.

Diabetes is a chronic condition which prevention and control is done mostly by minimally invasive devices. In this work, we propose a noninvasive method based on photoplethysmography (PPG) for cost-effective and discomfort-free diabetes detection and prevention. We used PPG signal features and patient metadata from a public dataset for classifying subjects as Diabetic or non-Diabetic. The Logistic Regression and eXtreme Gradient Boosting algorithms were evaluated using a five-fold cross validation approach and achieved a mean AUC of 0.79 ± 0.15 and 0.73 ± 0.17, respectively. Our results align with existing literature, supporting the use of machine learning techniques for developing non-invasive diabetes detection and prevention devices.

Published: June 2024

Human Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) is a fatal disease in over 95% of untreated cases and predominantly affects populations with limited access to healthcare. Parasitological techniques are the gold standard for diagnosing VL. It involves the direct microscopic examination of the parasite amastigotes approximately 2–4µ m in diameter. However, this process can be time-consuming and labor-intensive, necessitating a high level of expertise. We propose a novel approach to the detection of these amastigotes by combining deep metric learning with supervised classification techniques. We outperform the state-of-art for this detection problem achieving an f1-score of approximately 99% by tackling poor segmentation and class imbalance drawbacks.
