Authors: Spinazzi Noemi A , Santoro Jonathan D. , Pawlowski Katherine , Anzueto Gabriel , Howe Yamini J. , Patel Lina R. , Baumer Nicole T.
Published: November 2022

Background: Down syndrome (DS) is one of the most common genetic causes of intellectual disability. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is common in persons with DS with rates reported as high as 39%. However, little is known regarding risk factors for the development of ASD in persons with DS.
Methods: A single-center retrospective review of prospective longitudinally collected clinical data was performed. Any patient with a confirmed diagnosis of DS evaluated at a large, specialized Down Syndrome Program in a tertiary pediatric medical center between March 2018 - March 2022 was included. A standardized survey which included demographic and clinical questions was administered during each clinical evaluation.
Results: In total, 562 individuals with DS were included. The median age was 10 years (IQR: 6.18-13.92). Of this group, 72 (13%) had a co-occurring diagnosis of ASD (DS+ASD). Individuals with DS+ASD were more likely to be male (OR 2.23, CI 1.29-3.84) and had higher odds of a current or prior diagnosis of constipation (OR 2.19, CI 1.31-3.65), gastroesophageal reflux (OR 1.91, CI 1.14-3.21), behavioral feeding difficulties (OR 2.71, CI 1.02-7.19), infantile spasms (OR 6.03, CI 1.79-20.34) and scoliosis (OR 2.73, CI 1.16-6.40). There were lower odds of congenital heart disease in the DS+ASD group (OR 0.56, CI 0.34-0.93). There was no observed difference in prematurity or Neonatal Intensive Care Unit complications between groups. Individuals with DS+ASD had similar odds of having a history of congenital heart defect requiring surgery to those with DS only. Furthermore, there was no difference in rates of autoimmune thyroiditis or celiac disease. There was also no difference in rates of diagnosed co-occurring neurodevelopmental or mental health conditions in this cohort, including anxiety disorders and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.
Conclusions: This study identifies a variety of medical conditions which are more frequent in children with DS+ASD than DS alone, providing important information for clinical management of these patients. Future research should investigate the role of some of these medical conditions in the development of ASD phenotypes, and whether there may be distinct genetic and metabolic contributions towards these conditions.

Authors: Kabir Shaiful , Islam Mohammad Amirul , Hossen Mohammad Belal
Published: November 2022

This study evaluates essential and toxic element contents in widely used three medicinal plants (Acanthus ilicifolius, Avicennia officinalis, and Xylocarpus mekongensis) of Sundarban mangrove ecosystem and the possible health-risks through the consumption of these plants. Total concentrations of 20 chemical elements (Al, As, Br, Ca, Cd, Ce, Co, Cr, Fe, K, La, Mn, Na, Pb, Sb, Sc, Sm, Th, V, and Zn) were determined by instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) and atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) techniques. The determined concentrations of the elements were compared with available WHO permissible limits which indicate that the average concentration of Zn in A. ilicifolius (41.2 ± 10.1 mg/kg) was higher than that of the maximum permissible WHO limit (27 mg/kg). The average concentrations of Cr in A. ilicifolius (3.35 ± 0.37 mg/kg) and in X. mekongens (4.02 ± 2.30 mg/kg) were also higher than that of the WHO maximum permissible limit (2 mg/kg). The average daily intake (ADI) of the chemical elements was below the recommended daily allowance (RDA) values. Moreover, target hazard quotient (THQ) values were within the permissible limit (THQ < 1). However, the measured target carcinogenic risk (TCR) values of Cr for A. ilicifolius and X. mekongens were higher than the permissible limit (1.0 × 10− 4). The elemental transfer factors for the medicinal plants were determined and multivariate statistical analyses were used to clarify the elemental correlations in the plants. Therefore, this study will give valuable information to the public about the elemental contents and health risks due to consumption of the medicinal plants.

Published: November 2022

Online Topic indicates the diffusing process of various attitudes and emotions towards some events expressing and propagating over the Internet. It is an essential for monitoring all online information and ensuring internet information safety to search for the predicting approach of the trend of online topic. Previous methods focus on special social network and lack of versatility because of intensely relying on manual experience, that we are devoted to conquering these shortages. In the manuscript, we divide online topic into unimodal topic and multimodal topic, and multimodal topic is the combination of a series of unimodal topics. We present a generally nonlinear dynamic model to give a description of unimodal online topic diffusion mechanism on heterogeneous social network. The model can capture the long-term development tendency of unimodal topic, So, we present a long-term tendency prediction method of unimodal online topic with help of the dynamic model.But the model is not for multimodal online topic in that their long-term development tendency is made up of a series of unimodal topics’ long-term development tendency, which leads to the unpredictability of their long-term future directions, we propose a short-term population prediction method of unimodal and multimodal online topic diffusion on heterogeneous social network based on the essential relationship between unimodal and multimodal topic. Experimental results are our two methods have good performance on predicting the long-term development tendency of unimodal topic and all topic’s short-term population.
Overcoming the Monster! Perceptions of physiotherapy students regarding the use of stroke master plots for building therapeutic relationships; a mixed methods survey.
Authors: Alawafi Rana , Rosewilliam Sheeba , Soundy Andrew
Published: November 2022

Background
Research is needed that considers student health care professional (HCP) reactions to different stories of illness. Master plots identify illness stories which are recognisable within particular settings. One master plot for people with stroke that has not been well studied is called ‘overcoming the monster’. Students reactions to such a plot are important as a way to enhance therapeutic interactions.
Objective
To examine the responses of physiotherapy students to three variations of master plot called ‘overcoming the monster’ generated from patients who have had a stroke.
Methods
A qualitative narrative vignette study was undertaken. A university in the West Midlands was used to access physiotherapy students on the pre-registration programs. A purposive sample of students volunteered to complete a single vignette questionnaire at one time point. The vignette provided three unique examples of the master plot overcoming the monster as told by people with stroke. Students responded to each by asking specific questions that captured demographic information and questions that captured reactions to the different versions of the master plot. Categorical content-analysis was undertaken.
Results
Thirty-two first year (BSc) students, thirty-nine first year (pre-registration) MSc students and nineteen third year (BSc) students participated in this study. Neither first year groups had undertaken any clinical training. All third-year students had finished the required clinical placement hours for the physiotherapy course. Students consistently demonstrated empathy towards this master plot. Students often valued the variant of the story which illustrated how difficulties following stroke could be experienced as an ‘adventure’. Students also valued and were motivated by the story variant that considered a family member as a source of motivation and encouragement. The story variant which focused on the shortcomings of the health care system was more often related to by the final year BSc students and MSc students. However, first year students, particularly BSc students, reported being more emotionally affected by the vignette.
Conclusion
Overcoming the monster is a master plot which appears to generate more empathetic responses compared to other master plots. This is important because it highlights the value of students understanding the patients’ story and challenges or ‘monsters’ faced. Therapeutic relationships will benefit from training HCP students on the importance of listening, exploring and reflecting on the different master plots they may hear in practice.

Estimating sewage flow rate in Jefferson County, Kentucky, using machine learning for wastewater-based epidemiology applications
Authors: Kanneganti Dhiraj , Reinersman Lauren E. , Holm Rochelle H. , Smith Ted
Published: November 2022

Direct measurement of the flow rate in sanitary sewer lines is not always feasible and is an important parameter for the normalization of data used in wastewater-based epidemiology applications. Machine learning to estimate past wastewater influent flow rates supporting public health applications has not been studied. The aim of this study was to assess wastewater treatment plant influent flow rates when compared with weather data and to retrospectively estimate flow rates in Louisville, Kentucky (USA), based on other data-types using machine learning. A random forest model was trained using a range of variables, such as feces-related indicators, weather data that could be associated with dilution in sewage systems, and area demographics. The developed algorithm successfully estimated the flow rate with an accuracy of 91.7%, although it did not perform as well with short-term (one-day) high flow rates. This study suggests that using variables such as precipitation (mm/day) and population size are more important for wastewater flow estimation. The fecal indicator concentration (cross-assembly phage and pepper mild mottle virus) was less important. Our study challenges currently accepted opinions by showing the important public health potential application of artificial intelligence in wastewater treatment plant flow rate estimation for wastewater-based epidemiological applications.
A Comprehensive Insight on Pharmaceutical Co-crystals for Improvement
of Aqueous Solubility
Authors: Nanda Arun , Malik Jyoti , Khatkar Anurag
Published: November 2022

Various drugs are not able to reach the market due to their poor bioavailability and poor solubility in aqueous media. Hence, several approaches are used to enhance the solubility of poorly water-soluble drugs. Co-crystallization is one of the approaches used to enhance the solubility of poorly water-soluble drugs. Co-crystals are solid crystalline substances consisting of two or more ingredients in a stoichiometric ratio in which one of the ingredients is an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and the other is a co-former. API and co-former mix with one another in a co-crystal through intermolecular interactions. This review represents an overview of co-crystals, a comparison of co-crystals and other solid forms, mechanisms of solubility enhancement by co-crystals in brief, techniques of co-former selection, a list of co-formers used during various co-crystals formation and a list of marketed co-crystals formulation, method of co-crystals preparation and characterization techniques of co-crystals.

Published: November 2022

Molecular pharmaceutics play a critical role in the drug delivery system, representing the
direct interconnection of drug bioavailability with its molecular form. There is a diversity in the molecular
structures by which it affects its properties, such as amorphous form, crystalline form, partialamorphous
molecular dispersion, and disordered state. The active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and
the excipients utilized in the formulation process contain various divergent modes used in the formulation
process. They include better formulations of any type to obtain good quality pharmaceutical products.
This review reveals how the molecular states affect the API and are important in maintaining the
quality of dosage forms. Furthermore, the physio-chemical properties of the components and various
pharmaceutical approaches employed in the formulation of dosage forms are studied from the point of
view of molecular pharmaceutics.

Authors: Al Ayed Mousab Yousef , Ababneh Mutasem , Robert Asirvatham Alwin , Al-Musalum Maha , Sabrery Daniyah , Amer Maysa , Al Saeed Abdulghani , Al Dawish Mohamed Abdulaziz
Published: November 2022

Background and Aims:

Neuropathy is the most prevalent among diabetes-related microvascular
complications, of which distal symmetric polyneuropathy is very extensive. This study
aimed to evaluate the frequency and risk factors for Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN) among
Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) in Saudi Arabia.

Methods:

This study included 238 patients with T2D, between 18 and 80 years of age. Using a
structured questionnaire, data on the sociodemographic characters of the study group and laboratory
tests were collected. Distal symmetrical peripheral neuropathy in patients with diabetes was
identified using the Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument (MNSI).

Results:

In this cohort, 66 patients (27.7%) had positive MNSI questionnaire scores (≥ 7) and 90
(37.8%) patients had positive examination scores (≥ 2.5). From the patient's perception, patients on
oral plus insulin treatment exhibited a higher risk for DPN (OR 2.95; p = 0.018) than those who
received only oral treatment and an ulcer in an earlier period exhibited a higher risk for DPN (OR:
3.25; p = 0.005). From the health professionals’ perception, more females than males showed a
high risk for DPN (OR: 3.92; p = 0004). Likewise, compared to the patients in the age group of
<50 years, those in the age group of ≥50 years revealed a high risk for DPN (OR 6.30; p = 0.009).
Further, patients on oral and insulin treatments were at greater risk for DPN (OR: 3.71; p = 0.024);
patients experiencing complications like prior ulcers, and high-density lipoprotein also exhibited
higher risk than the patients who lacked them.

Conclusion:

Diabetes neuropathy is one of the most common complications of microangiopathy
experienced by patients with T2D in Saudi Arabia. The risks for DPN among patients with T2D
can be reduced with the implementation of focused and evidence-based interventions.

Published: November 2022

Background:

We reported for the first time the preparation of carbon nanodots/cajuput oil (C-dots/CJO) composites for potential antibacterial applications.

Method:

The C-dots were synthesized from CJO distillation wastes via the low carbonization
method. Then, the C-dots were mixed with CJO to obtain C-dots/CJO composites. The characteristics of the C-dots were determined using UV-Vis, PL, TRPL, FTIR, and HRTEM, whereas
the C-dots/CJO composites were characterized using UV-Vis and FTIR.

Result:

Antibacterial properties were investigated for samples of C-dots, CJO, and C-dots/CJO
with no-light, white light, and UV/violet light treatments. The C-dots produced cyan luminescence with a decay lifetime of 6.54 ns. Based on the antibacterial tests, the C-dots/CJO composites have DIZ higher than the pure C-dots

Conclusion:

The C-dots/CJO composites reached the highest DIZ of 3.6 nm under white light,
which was attributed to the photodynamic effect and photodisinfection of the C-dots and CJO,
respectively. Hence, the C-dots/CJO composites can be potential antibacterial agents against E.

Anodal Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Reduces Competitive Anxiety and Modulates Heart Rate Variability in an eSports Player
Authors: Machado Sergio , Sant’Ana Leandro de Oliveira , Travassos Bruno , Monteiro Diogo
Published: November 2022

Previous research has recently shown that high cognitive and somatic anxiety and low self-confidence, before and during sport competitions have a significant correlation with heart rate variability (HRV) changes and can reduce overall athletic performance. Therefore, interventions, such as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), can be a potential tool to reduce psychophysiological anxiety-related and enhance athletic performance. We present a case of a male professional athlete of eSports. We explored the effects of a single session of anodal tDCS (a-tDCS) at 2mA over the dosrsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) on competitive anxiety and HRV assessed in baseline (BL), pre-tDCS, post-tDCS and post-game moments and compared between moments. Here, we found a decrease in somatic and cognitive anxiety, as well as an increase in self-confidence and in SDNN index in the post-tDCS moment compared with BL, pre-tDCS and post-game moments. These findings can be a result of an acute change in the attentional state, influencing the processing of threatening information essential for cognitive anxiety and of a self-regulatory process, which can regulate physiological arousal response, such as HRV.

Without Osteoporosis – A Case-Control Study
Authors: Soh Geok Ting , Mohammad Affaf Hulma , Syed Isa Sharifah Nur Liyana , Chin Kok-Yong , Mohamed Norazlina
Published: November 2022

Background:

Chronic low-grade inflammation is involved in the pathogenesis of postmenopausal osteoporosis, but the cytokines implicated remain elusive.

Objective:

This study aimed to compare the difference in cytokine profile between postmenopausal women with and without osteoporosis in Klang Valley, Malaysia.

Methods:

Postmenopausal women with (n = 20) and without osteoporosis (n = 20) were recruited
for this study. Their bone health status was determined using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry.
Their fasting blood was collected for proteomic analysis. A protein array was performed for four
subjects randomly selected from each group to screen the potential cytokines. Three cytokines at
least 20% different between groups and consistently expressed by each subject were selected for
validation using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA).

Results:

The protein array screening demonstrated that platelet-derived growth factor-BB, interleukin-
6 receptor (IL-6R), and tissue inhibitor of metallopeptidase-2 were higher in women with
osteoporosis than women without osteoporosis (n = 4 per group), and consistently expressed by
all women. Only body mass index (BMI)-adjusted logarithmically transformed IL-6R levels were
lower among postmenopausal women with osteoporosis compared to women with normal bone
health (p = 0.026) (n = 16 per group) in the ELISA test.

Conclusion:

IL-6R was lower among postmenopausal women with osteoporosis compared to women with normal bone health after adjusting for BMI. However, a large-scale epidemiological study with proteomic analysis needs to confirm the findings.

Published: November 2022

Nitrogen-containing heterocycles constitute an important division of organic chemistry. The structural and functional diversity in nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds emanates from the presence and nature of the heteroatom that optimizes the compound for a specific application. Nitrogen heterocycles have been found to mimic various endogenous metabolites and natural products, highlighting their pivotal role in current drug design. Their applications are manifold and are predominantly used as pharmaceuticals, corrosion inhibitors, polymers, agrochemicals, dyes, developers,etc. Additionally, their catalytic behavior has rendered these compounds notable precursors in synthesizing various important organic compounds. The rate at which nitrogen heterocycles are synthesized explains this organic chemistry domain's vitality and usefulness. The present review article focuses on nitrogen-containing heterocycles as a versatile scaffold for current applications of organic chemistry.
Vaccines: An Important Tool for Infectious Disease
Authors: Saman Saika , Chauhan Iti , Srivastava Nimisha
Published: November 2022

Vaccines are usually regarded as one of the most important tools in the battle
against infectious diseases. Even though currently accessible vaccinations are an incredible
success story in contemporary medicine and have had a significant impact on global
morbidity and death rates, it is evident that current vaccine delivery approaches need to
be improved. To allow the successful creation of vaccinations against contagious diseases
that have proven challenging to manage with conventional procedures, improvements
are necessary. Improvements could include the introduction of innovative injectable adjuvants
or novel delivery methods, such as mucosal immunization. Protection against infections
that infect mucosal areas may necessitate mucosal delivery.
Alternatively, innovative techniques for delivery, such as intradermal administration using
self-administrable devices or the use of microneedle technology to bypass the stratum
corneum's skin penetration barrier and aid in the transport of antigens, could be utilized
to increase vaccine compliance. Needle-free delivery systems are of particular relevance
for safer mass immunization programs, as they would prevent problems caused by needles
reuse in several regions of the world, as well as needle-stick accidents.
Based on this information, future vaccine development will mainly concentrate on rational
antigen, adjuvant, and, most importantly, delivery mechanism design, resulting in
new and improved vaccinations.
In addition, this study discusses the current state and prospects of vaccine delivery via a
variety of channels, including non- or minimally invasive approaches.
Hafez Ibrahim's translation of the monologue of the gagger in Shakespeare's Macbeth
Authors: Aziz Amal Gouda Abdel
Published: November 2022

One of the most challenging and multifaceted tasks a translator can do is translating poetry. This is because form and content in poetry have a distinct and interdependent relationship that allows the reader to experience a unique emotional reaction. Reproducing the same emotional effect on the TT reader is the most controversial aspect, resulting in the widespread assumption among scholars that poetry is untranslatable. Poetry translation needs more effort and creativity to convey the beauty and power of the style as well as the intended message of the ST. The main aim of the present study is to analyze Hafez Ibrahim's poetic translation into Arabic of the famous soliloquy of the protagonist in the scene of the dagger in Shakespeare's play, Macbeth. Employing a descriptive-analytical approach to compare the ST and TT texts, the study arrived at the conclusion that the translator was adequately successful in keeping the subject matter, the general atmosphere, and the tone of the original text. On the other hand, he chose to "Arabize" the metaphorical language of Shakespeare to make it closer to Arab readers' sensibilities.

Published: November 2022

La evaluación de la calidad de la semilla permite conocer el estado físico, fisiológico, genético y sanitario que presenta, así como predecir la respuesta potencial a la siembra y los primeros estados de crecimiento de la planta. El objetivo de la presente investigación fue evaluar el efecto de la solución nutritiva Steiner (normal y modificada) y del sustrato de crecimiento en la calidad física y fisiológica de semilla de tomate. El experimento se realizó en el invernadero del Tecnológico Nacional de México, campus Roque, ubicado en Celaya, Guanajuato, México, en el periodo marzo-julio del 2018.Se usaron dos factores: solución nutritiva Steiner completa (100 %, testigo) y dos variantes: diluida (-25 %, -50 %) y concentrada (+25 %, +50 %) y dos sustratos: tezontle rojo y fibra de coco. La cosecha (o corte) de racimos con frutos se desarrolló en cinco fechas: 72, 86, 97, 108 y 120 días después del trasplante (ddt), identificada por el color rosado/rojo del pericarpio del fruto, a partir de lo cual se determinó la calidad de la semilla extraída mediante peso de 100 semillas y porcentaje de germinación estándar. Los resultados mostraron un efecto significativo (p ≤ 0,01) de la solución nutritiva en el peso de la semilla a partir del tercer corte (97 ddt) y en la germinación estándar a 108 y 120 ddt; mientras que el sustrato lo hizo únicamente a los 97 ddt en ambas características. Así, la solución nutritiva Steiner concentrada (+25 % y +50 %) acompañada de fibra de coco promueve el mayor peso de la semilla e incrementa la germinación estándar de la semilla de tomate de 20 % a 26 %, por lo que la calidad de la semilla de tomate mejora con el manejo racional de la solución nutritiva Steiner.
