Benefits of Giving Egg White Extract and Moringa Leaves to Improve The Nutritional and Immune Status of TB Patients. A Scoping Review
Authors: Novi Kusrini  , Herin Mawarti  , Yuly Peristiowati  , Achmad Zakaria
Published: December 2024

TB is still a major global health concern, especially in developing nations like Indonesia, which has the third-highest rate of TB cases globally. Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection has a negative effect on the health of the patient as well as causing low serum albumin levels, poor nutritional status, and other blood abnormalities, all of which worsen the general health of those who are infected. Nutritional supplements, particularly egg white and milk containing moringa extract, have the potential to improve nutritional status and speed up TB patients' recuperation. The protein-rich egg white may raise albumin levels, while the nutrient-dense moringa boosts immunity. Furthermore, encouraging treatment adherence and halting the disease's spread require nutritional measures and family support.

Vegetation structure data are essential for understanding the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems and for informing various science-policy interfaces. Recent years have seen a growing demand for high-resolution data on vegetation structure, driving the prediction of such metrics at fine resolutions (1 m - 30 m) at state, continental, and global scales by combining satellite data with machine learning. As these initiatives expand, it is crucial for the remote sensing and ecological communities to actively discuss the quality and usability of these products. Here, we (i) provide a brief overview of space-borne lidar missions measuring vegetation structure; (ii) using global canopy height models (CHMs) as an example, we demonstrate that predicted products exhibit significant errors exceeding natural changes in canopy height observed over a 10-year period, indicating that even a 10-year-old CHM derived from airborne laser scanning (ALS) is superior to currently available predicted CHMs; therefore, (iii) we recommend that regions with abundant ALS data prioritize harmonizing ALS-based vegetation metrics rather than relying solely on much less accurate predicted products derived from satellite data. We investigated the availability of ALS data in Europe and found that they are available for 26 countries, collected mostly between 2009 and 2024. We argue that, despite variations in data characteristics, including temporal inconsistencies and differences in point density and classification accuracy, the production of vegetation structure metrics, particularly CHMs, in raster format at fine resolution is both necessary and feasible. As new acquisitions are planned or underway, it is important to coordinate efforts to facilitate harmonization, develop continent-wide products, and ensure free access for research and policy communities. Beyond numerous ecological applications, such consistent benchmark datasets are crucial for calibrating future Earth Observation missions, making them essential for producing truly global, fine-resolution vegetation structure data.
Smoke in your eyes: Investigating the effects of wind power on weather trends and climate using time series analysis
Authors: Johnson Keith
Published: December 2024

Time series analysis developed in the previous report [1] for UK mean summer temperature has been applied to further examples of weather trends, including temperature, rainfall and Sahara dust, and so at global, regional, national and local levels, in an attempt to assess whether wind power is having a deleterious effect on weather patterns. The analysis involves detrending weather data by calculating first differences and then computing the cross-correlation function, or CCF with wind power capacity. The calculations are benchmarked using atmospheric CO2 concentration. The consistency of a significant correlation is tested by detrending using linear residuals and then calculating the CCF on the basis of the residuals, corrected for autocorrelation using the Cochrane-Orcutt procedure [4]. In four cases, where the data were reliable, the analysis provided a clear distinction in favour of wind power as a putative cause of the weather trends, in preference to atmospheric CO2 concentration. Where the quality of the data was less reliable, the outcome was inconclusive. Nevertheless, it would seem that our efforts to mitigate anthropogenic global warning with wind power might well be having a deleterious effect on weather patterns
Developmental changes in the speed of social attention in early word learning
Authors: Yurovsky Daniel , Frank Michael C.
Published: December 2024

How do children learn words so rapidly? A powerful source of information about a new word’s meaning is the set of social cues provided by its speaker (e.g. eye-gaze). Studies of children’s use of social cues have tended to focus on the emergence of this ability in early infancy. We show, however, that this early-emerging ability has a long developmental trajectory: Slow, continuous improvements in speed of social information processing occur over the course of the first five years of life. This developing ability to allocate social attention is a significant bottleneck on early word learning—continuous changes in social information processing predict continuous changes in children’s ability to learn new words. Further, we show that this bottleneck generalizes to children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, whose social information processing is atypical. These results describe a route by which increases in social expertise can lead to changes in language learning ability, and more generally highlight the dependence of developmental outcomes not on just the existence of particular competencies, but on their proficient use in complex contexts.

BackgroundEarly maladaptive schemas (EMS) significantly impact psychological functioning, yet their prevalence and influence within non-clinical populations are under-researched. This study explores distinct EMS clusters in a non-clinical adult sample and examines their associations with personality traits and emotional experiences.MethodsNinety-one adults (mean age 42.5) completed the Young Schema Questionnaire (YSQ-S3), Big Five Inventory (BFI), Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS), and Dispositional Positive Emotion Scales (DPES). K-means clustering identified EMS patterns, and relationships between EMS clusters, personality traits, and affective states were analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis tests, t-tests, and Spearman’s rank correlations.ResultsThree EMS clusters—Low, Medium, and High intensity—were found. Neuroticism varied significantly across all clusters (p < .001), showing a strong positive correlation with most EMS. Entitlement/Grandiosity was uniquely uncorrelated with Neuroticism but negatively associated with Agreeableness. Within the Medium cluster, two personality types emerged, distinguished by Neuroticism and Extraversion. The High EMS cluster had significantly greater Negative Affect than the Low cluster (p = .002). Love and Pride dispositions differed across clusters (p ≤ .001), showing negative correlations with specific EMS.ConclusionsThis study identifies distinct EMS patterns in non-clinical adults, highlighting Neuroticism as a major factor in EMS intensity and Entitlement/Grandiosity as a unique schema with atypical personality links. The findings reveal a “Schema Continuum” in the general population, challenging the clinical/non-clinical divide. Interventions targeting Neuroticism and enhancing positive emotions like Love and Pride may reduce maladaptive schemas, suggesting a path for preventative mental health strategies.

Eine Längsschnittstudie mit 1217 Lehrpersonen zeigt, dass der Zusammenhang zwischen transformationaler Führung und der Reduktion von emotionaler Erschöpfung durch klare organisatorische Rahmenbedingungen und Verantwortungsbereiche sowie die Befriedigung des Autonomiebedürfnisses der Lehrpersonen vermittelt wird.
Berufliches Wohlbefinden von Lehrkräften nachhaltig fördern. Warum wir mehr als Achtsamkeitstrainings brauchen
Authors: Klusmann Uta
Published: December 2024

Lehrkräfte sind zentrale Akteur*innen im schulischen Alltag, die mit hohen Erwartungen konfrontiert werden. Eine wesentliche Voraussetzung, um diesen gerecht zu werden, ist neben dem professionellen Wissen und Können das berufliche Wohlbefinden. Verschiedene Studien zeigen jedoch, dass sich ein erheblicher Anteil der Lehrkräfte durch ihre Arbeit erschöpft und belastet fühlt. Dementsprechend ist das Interesse an wirksamen Fördermaßnahmen hoch. Allerdings fokussiert die Mehrheit der verfügbaren und evaluierten Angebote ausschließlich auf der Förderung individueller Kompetenzen der Lehrkräfte. Der vorliegende Diskussionsbeitrag möchte dazu anregen, die Bemühungen um das berufliche Wohlbefinden zu verstärken, indem sowohl die schulische Umwelt als auch die Bedarfe der Lehrkräfte selbst mehr Berücksichtigung bei Interventionsmaßnahmen finden.

Authors: Alina Bhattacharjee  , Suresh Chandra Mondal  , Mainak Chatterjee
Published: December 2024

Background: The weight gain that occurs in pregnancy has the potential to influence a woman’s long-term health by increasing the risk for weight retention and obesity, as well as related comorbidities such as chronic hypertension (HTN) or Type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Aims and Objectives: The aim of the study was to study maternal and perinatal outcomes associated with excessive maternal gestational weight gain (GWG).
Materials and Methods: The current study was a cross-sectional study conducted at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, from October 2018 to October 2019. A total of 91 women attending the antenatal clinic of MR Bangur Hospital and getting admitted for delivery during the study period was considered as the study population. Medical records were maintained for variables of the mothers such as gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), gestational HTN, pre-eclampsia, eclampsia, duration of labor, mode of delivery, indication of cesarean section, Postpartum hemorrhage, and perineal tears. coGuide v.0.01 used for statistical analysis.
Results: There were majority of 55 (60.4%) participants reported 18.5–24.9 body mass index (BMI). The difference in the proportion of BMI across maternal weight gain was statistically significant. The difference in the proportion of GDM, duration of labor >18 h, and duration of the second stage of labor >2 h between maternal weight gain were statistically significant. The difference in the proportion of APGAR score at 1 min, and 5 min between groups of maternal weight gain was statistically significant.
Conclusion: Our study suggested that GWG has to be achieved within the Institute of Medicine recommendation according to pre-pregnancy BMI to improve pregnancy outcomes and reduce maternal and perinatal adverse outcomes.

Published: December 2024

Background: Ventral hernias (VHs) occur as a result of weakness in the musculofascial layer of the anterior abdominal wall. The most popular classification is congenital, acquired, incisional, and traumatic.
Aims and Objectives: The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness and safety of open versus laparoscopic repair of incisional hernia and to discuss important controversial issues for both procedures, including patient selection, technique, and operative care for laparoscopic repair of VH, operative time of laparoscopic repair of VH, intraoperative and post-operative complications, post-operative pain, post-operative morbidity, and length of hospital stay.
Materials and Methods: This prospective study was done in Maharani Laxmi Bai Medical College; Jhansi between January 2021 and June 2022 including 70 patients of incisional hernia were selected for treatment of hernia repair. Thirty-five patients were subjected to laparoscopic incisional hernia repair and 35 patients were subjected to open incisional hernia repair.
Results: The findings of the present study demonstrate that laparoscopic incisional hernia repair was safe and in comparison with open incisional repair comparatively less intraoperative blood loss, less post-operative pain, less post-operative complication, less hospital stay, early return to normal activity, and less recurrence. The incidence of enterotomy was slightly more in an open method which was found non-significant difference (P≥0.05). Hence, it is concluded that laparoscopic incisional hernia repair should be the procedure of choice.
Conclusions: Laparoscopic incisional hernia repair was safe and better when compared with open incisional hernia repair.

Published: December 2024

Double J (DJ) ureteric stents are widely applied in urological operations, they maintain patient’s urinary system postoperatively, thereby accelerating recovery. Prolonged stent insertion is associated with complications. A 38-year-old woman presented with hematuria, right flank pain, and urinary tract infection. She underwent renal calculi removal 8 years ago. KUB radiograph revealed and indwelling DJ stent with vesical calculus and pyelonephritis. Ultrasound revealed a large bladder stone with mild right hydronephrosis. Computed tomographic (CT) urography revealed a DJ stent encrustation and further formation into core of the bladder stone. Cystolithotomy was performed, vesicle calculi retrieved. At 4 weeks, the patient presented with a right-side flank pain for which patient was evaluated with a contrast-enhanced CT urography which revealed a pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction with hydronephrosis. A pyeloplasty was performed and DJ stent was placed in situ, to be retrieved at 6 weeks. With improved biomaterials, design and technological improvements of DJ stents, patient’s discomfort is greatly reduced. As a result, DJ stents got left in place for a longer duration of time, and therefore high incidences of forgetfulness, retained DJ stents. Encrustation, however, is frequently encountered. Patient factors such as low education and socioeconomic status and patients living in far off rural places also contribute to forgotten indwelling stents. Authors recommend placement of DJ stents after pyeloplasty for treating pelvi-ureteric junction obstructions following long-term retained stents. Patient counseling, education, and strict follow-up should ensure a timely stent removal and improved patient safety. Effective patient counseling and awareness reduces incidences of forgotten indwelling stents and patient-related complications.

Published: December 2024

Background: The inclusion of pelvic lymph node (PLN) metastasis in the FIGO staging system has impacted disease classification and patient survival. Brachytherapy is a key component in managing carcinoma cervix; however, the dose contribution of brachytherapy to PLNs remains unclear.
Aims and Objectives: This study aims to quantify the dose contribution of high-dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy to individual pelvic nodal groups.
Materials and Methods: We included 40 biopsy-proven carcinoma cervix patients, stages IIA to IVA. All patients underwent external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) with concurrent cisplatin chemotherapy, followed by HDR brachytherapy, either intracavitary brachytherapy (ICBT) or interstitial brachytherapy (ISBT). A total dose of 21 Gy in 3 fractions (7 Gy per fraction) was prescribed to the high-risk clinical target volume.
Results: For ICBT, the mean absolute doses received by the external iliac, internal iliac, and obturator groups were 0.56 Gy, 1.02 Gy, and 1.22 Gy, corresponding to EQD2 (α/β=10) values of 0.49 Gy, 0.93 Gy, and 1.14 Gy, respectively. In the ISBT group, the mean absolute doses were 0.49 Gy, 0.86 Gy, and 1.11 Gy, with corresponding EQD2s of 0.43 Gy, 0.85 Gy, and 1.02 Gy.
Conclusion: PLNs received significant dose contributions from HDR brachytherapy in cervical cancer patients, providing valuable reference data for determining the EBRT boost dose in cases of enlarged PLNs.
