Published: August 2024

Quantum computing has shown promise in chemical simulation and other fields where computationally hard problems must be tackled. This research focuses on optimizing molecule structures, which is an important step in understanding the properties and activities of chemical substances. It also studies the possibility of quantum computing in this domain. The system's many-body wave function is optimized using the imaginary time evolution approach, with nuclei and electrons both being considered quantum mechanical particles. Based on numerical experiments in two-dimensional H2+ and H-C-N systems, the authors find that their suggested method may have two benefits—it can find the best nuclear positions with few observations (quantum measurements), and it can find the global minimum structure of nuclei without starting from a complex initial structure and getting stuck in local minima. It is anticipated that this approach would function admirably with quantum computers, and its advancement will pave the road for its potential application as a potent tool.

Published: August 2024

Intestinal microbiota and selected strains of commensal bacteria influence regulatory T (Treg) cell functionality in the colon. Nevertheless, whether and how microbiota changes the transcriptome profile and TCR specificities of colonic Tregs remain to be precisely defined. In this study, we have employed single-cell RNA sequencing and comparatively analyzed colonic Tregs from specific pathogen-free and germ-free (GF) mice. We found that microbiota shifts the activation trajectory of colonic Tregs toward a distinct phenotypic subset enriched in specific pathogen-free but not in GF mice. Moreover, microbiota induced the expansion of specific Treg clonotypes with shared transcriptional specificities. The microbiota-induced subset of colonic Tregs, identified as PD-1− CXCR3+ Tregs, displayed enhanced suppressive capabilities compared with colonic Tregs derived from GF mice, enhanced production of IL-10, and were the primary regulators of enteric inflammation in dextran sodium sulfate–induced colitis. These findings identify a hitherto unknown gut microbiota and immune cell interaction module that could contribute to the development of a therapeutic modality for intestinal inflammatory diseases.

Authors: Khan M. Rasheed , Thivyahprabha A. G. , Sowmithri K. Durga , Kumaran Kirtanasree
Published: August 2024

Introduction:

Diabetes mellitus with hyperglycaemia is a chronic metabolic disorder. The endocrinal function of the pancreas is altered in diabetes mellitus. There is a close anatomic and functional relationship between the exocrine and endocrine portions of the pancreas. The current study was conducted to evaluate the blood glucose and serum amylase levels in type 2 diabetic patients as they represent the two functional aspects of the gland. The aim of the study was to determine the serum amylase and serum lipase in type 2 diabetic patients and to compare and correlate these parameters with those of age- and sex-matched healthy controls.

Methodology:

Already diagnosed 300 type 2 diabetes mellitus patients have been included in our study as cases and 50 healthy individuals attending the outpatient department have been included as controls. Fasting venous samples have been collected from cases and controls and analysed for blood glucose, lipid profile, renal function test, liver function test, serum amylase and lipase. The results were analysed using Student’s t-test and correlation coefficient.

Results:

Low levels of serum amylase were observed in type 2 diabetic patients and the values were statistically significant with P < 0.005. The levels of total cholesterol, triglyceride and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were compared among both the groups and values were significantly higher in cases compared to the controls with P < 0.05, <0.001 and <0.05, respectively. The high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels were found to be lower in cases with the P < 0.001.

Conclusion:

In our study, it was observed that, as the blood glucose levels are higher in type 2 diabetic patients, the serum amylase levels were lower significantly. There was a positive correlation between the HDL and serum amylase values, which signifies the role of amylase as an additional and surrogate biomarker for monitoring cardiometabolic status.

We assessed the association of employee lifestyles (e.g., smoking, exercise, drinking, and sleep habits) with mental health-related absenteeism and turnover rates utilizing data from the annual Health and Productivity Management survey by Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. This analysis included data from 1,748 companies, encompassing 4,199,021 employees. The average proportions of mental health-related absenteeism and employee turnover rates were 1.1±1.0% and 5.0±5.0%, respectively. In multivariable regression models that incorporated all lifestyle factors and confounders, a 1 percentage point increase in the proportion of employees who slept well was associated with reductions in their turnover rate (mean, -0.020%; 95% confidence interval [CI], -0.038 to -0.002) and in mental health-related absenteeism (mean, -0.005%; 95% CI, -0.009 to 0.001). A similar increase in the proportion of employees engaging in regular physical activity corresponded with a 0.005% decrease in the prevalence of mental health-related absenteeism (95% CI, -0.010 to -0.001). A 1 percentage point increase in the proportion of employees who smoked was associated with a 0.013% reduction in mental health-related absenteeism (95% CI, -0.017 to -0.008). Nonetheless, the current study’s observational and cross-sectional design restricted the ability to establish causality between employee lifestyle factors and mental health issues.
Inspired individuals and charismatic leaders
Authors: Clare Lee
Published: August 2024

Recent fieldwork at Pre-Pottery Neolithic (PPN) Göbeklitepe has revealed a life-size limestone statue of a wild boar in Special Building D, which, alongside discoveries from nearby contemporaneous sites, broadens our understanding of late hunter-forager communities, including the presence of (archaeologically speaking) invisible decision-makers. Evidence points to three groups from which these charismatic leaders could have emerged: storytellers, hunters and ritual experts. An important function of these leaders was to uphold traditional values in the face of changing lifeways in the Early Holocene, a period referred to here as the ‘hunter-gatherer crisis’. This paper also includes a summary of recent excavation results from Göbeklitepe.

Published: August 2024

We show that the first-order theory of Sturmian words over Presburger
arithmetic is decidable. Using a general adder recognizing addition in
Ostrowski numeration systems by Baranwal, Schaeffer and Shallit, we prove that
the first-order expansions of Presburger arithmetic by a single Sturmian word
are uniformly $\omega$-automatic, and then deduce the decidability of the
theory of the class of such structures. Using an implementation of this
decision algorithm called Pecan, we automatically reprove classical theorems
about Sturmian words in seconds, and are able to obtain new results about
antisquares and antipalindromes in characteristic Sturmian words.

The Dynamics of Ancient Thought: How Philosophies Shaped Changing Societal Ideospheres
Authors: Sobirovich Turdiev Bekhruz
Published: August 2024

In contemporary society, achieving significant national revival and progress necessitates a thorough and nuanced analysis of diverse ideas and perspectives aimed at rejuvenating our ideological framework. This includes drawing meaningful conclusions and lessons from these analyses. It is imperative to study the socio-philosophical dimensions of the evolution of various ideas concerning the renewal of societal ideology. This exploration should particularly focus on the contributions of Eastern and Western thinkers who have proposed transformative concepts for renewing consciousness and thought. The perspectives articulated by these philosophers have profoundly influenced the historical trajectory of spiritual and intellectual development across civilizations. These ideas emerged and evolved through the examination of the social environment, human relationships, and the ongoing quest to transform and understand the world. They reflect the advancement of scientific thought, spiritual progress, and the evolution of democratic societies, all of which contribute to the promotion and implementation of ideospheric renewal. This article provides an in-depth analysis of the scientific and philosophical perspectives of key thinkers, scholars, and public figures on the renewal of societal ideology. It explores the insights of ancient philosophers such as Zoroaster, Confucius, Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, highlighting the critical importance of integrating these renewal concepts, with a particular focus on transforming individual consciousness.

Uma revisão sistemática do uso da lactoferrina em dermatologia
Authors: Vidor Verônica Mittag , Dias Luiza Maciel , Ribeiro Monaly da Silva , Soares Marielle de Sousa Nunes , Mendes Mikaelle Teixeira
Published: August 2024

Lactoferrina (LF) é uma proteína isolada presente no leite da maioria dos mamíferos. O corpo humano produz lactoferrina em diversos órgãos através de células que, quando em situações de ameaças externas, conseguem secretar essa proteína. A LF apresenta-se como um potente componente contra o dano causado pelo estresse oxidativo e, nos últimos anos, seu estudo tem sido amplamente visado. Essa proteína já foi chamada de “molécula milagrosa”, por exibir um vasto número de propriedades anticancerígenas, anti-inflamatórias, imunomoduladoras, entre outras. O presente artigo tem por objetivo uma revisão da literatura atual sobre o uso dessa proteína no âmbito da dermatologia. Para a elaboração deste artigo de revisão foram consultados artigos científicos e artigos de revisão publicados em diversos países entre 2019 e 2024. Dentre as propriedades anti-envelhecimento, pode-se citar a capacidade da LF na regulação de crescimento, proliferação, apoptose e inflamação celular. Ademais, ela é capaz de suprimir a senescência e apoptose de células tronco mesenquimais, de promover ambas a formação de tecidos de granulação e processo de re epitelização. No domínio da dermatologia, Mohsen et al. sugere que a LF é um possível biomarcador para o diagnóstico de acne vulgar bem como pode ser utilizada como forma de tratamento para essa condição por meio de suplementação via oral. Outrossim, para além das condições dermatológicas explicitadas anteriormente, a LF pode apresentar-se sob uma ótica terapêutica em outras doenças como na dermatite atópica, por exemplo. A LF demonstrou ser promissora através dos estudos analisados, muito embora estes sejam escassos em relação a condições dermatológicas especificamente. Ainda é necessário que sejam desenvolvidos estudos em larga escala para avaliar a influência da suplementação via oral e tópica dessa proteína objetivando o tratamento de doenças da pele.
Exposição maternal ao álcool e baixo peso ao nascer: revisão sistemática e metanálise
Authors: Maia Luisa Cardoso , Silva Isadora Arantes Pereira da , Andrade Sarah Ribeiro de , Lavinas Manuela Cerqueira
Published: August 2024

Introdução: Este artigo apresenta uma revisão sistemática sobre a relação entre a exposição materna ao álcool durante a gravidez e o baixo peso ao nascer. O objetivo do estudo é sintetizar as evidências disponíveis para determinar a associação entre o consumo de álcool por gestantes e o risco aumentado de recém-nascidos apresentarem peso inferior ao esperado. Materiais, sujeitos e métodos: A revisão incluiu estudos observacionais e ensaios clínicos relevantes publicados até 2024, identificados através de bases de dados como PubMed, SciELO e BMC, com análise criteriosa dos estudos selecionados. Resultados e discussão: Os resultados encontrados são controversos na literatura. Sabe-se que a exposição pré-natal aumenta os riscos de anomalias congênitas e físicas, dificuldades respiratórias, convulsões, problemas de sono e alimentação. No entanto, as revisões divergem acerca do efeito no crescimento fetal observado através do peso e do perímetro cefálico, principalmente nas situações em que o consumo foi baixo ou moderado. Isso sugere que outros fatores também podem estar envolvidos no baixo peso ao nascer, como nutrição materna, nível de consumo de álcool, fatores genéticos, infecções, idade materna e uso de drogas. Considerações finais: Conclui-se que, apesar de não haver consenso, o álcool é capaz de gerar outros problemas para a saúde da criança, devendo seu consumo ser desestimulado. Devem-se realizar mais estudos para elucidar tal situação.
Aspectos da prática da eletroconvulsoterapia: uma revisão sistemática
Authors: Leal Carolina Rotatori , Silva Pamela Lorrane Ribeiro da , Silva Paloma Álister Vilela da , Silva Isadora Faria , Alves Virginia Soares
Published: August 2024

Introdução: A eletroconvulsoterapia (ECT) basea-se em induzir convulsões para promover bem estar mental, e é usada desde 1990 para o tratamento de diversos transtorno psiquiátricos, mais comumente os episódios de depressão grave. Apesar de ser um dos mais eficazes tratamentos, permanece sendo um dos mais estigmatizados, resultando em  pouca oferta e prescrições de um tratamento que salva vidas. Materiais, sujeitos e métodos: Para a elaboração deste artigo de revisão foram consultados artigos científicos e artigos de revisão publicados e referenciados na Medline/PubMED, SciELO e Cochrane entre os anos de 2000 e 2024. Resultados e discussão: As revisões demonstram que a prática da ECT conta com algumas questões não tão bem esclarecidas, sendo preciso estabelecer protocolos para sua execução tanto técnicas quanto na elegibilidade dos pacientes, para que os grandes benefícios desse tratamento chegue a quem realmente se beneficiaria com ele, com embasamento científico adequado. Considerações finais: Para diminuir a insegurança dos profissionais na utilização desse tratamento e os efeitos colaterais do mesmo, são necessário estabelecer protocolos nos serviços.
