Older to older living kidney transplantation is an acceptable alternative to avoid dialysis, improve quality of life and maintain favorable long-term outcomes of patients with end-stage kidney disease. However, the management of these patients is complex and the acceptance of older donors and recipients to kidney transplantation remains controversial. The older recipients usually have several comorbidities that may complicate the postoperative course and increase the risk of end-stage kidney disease. We present a clinical case of living kidney transplantation between an older donor and recipient, both over 70 years old, who evolved to a stage 3 chronic kidney disease, without proteinuria, hypertension, or other complications, three years after transplantation. Our case reinforces favorable outcomes in older living transplantation, both for recipient and donor, as has been demonstrated in several published studies.

Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) are useful as markers for systemic vasculitis. PR3-ANCA antibodies have been also identified in association with chronic inflammatory and infectious conditions, other autoimmune diseases, malignancy, and certain drugs. The association of PR3 and minimal change disease (MCD) without vasculitis is not an expected finding. We report a case of MCD with PR3-ANCA positive title and no histopathological findings of vasculitis. This reports to an 86-year-old Caucasian woman without relevant past medical history and a normal renal function one month before presentation with sudden-onset nephrotic syndrome and rapidly progressive renal failure. Renal ultrasound was normal. Autoimmune screening using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) revealed PR3-ANCA high titers (238.7UQ). Renal biopsy did not show vasculitis or crescentic glomerulonephritis. The glomeruli were normal. Autoimmune, inflammatory, infectious and malignant diseases were excluded. MCD was assumed and she started prednisolone with clinical and analytical improvement. ANCA-associated glomerular disease can coexist with a variety of other glomerular diseases including membranous nephropathy, lupus nephritis, IgA nephropathy, and bacterial infection-related glomerulonephritis. This association could be an incidental finding, but there may be an association with MCD not previously reported. Our case emphasizes the importance of performing renal biopsies before embarking on a full-scale immunosuppression therapy based on ANCA title alone.

Combining Discrete Wavelet Transform and Strong Ground Motion Duration to Reduce Computational Costs in Dynamic Analysis of Structures
Authors: Shahriari Behrooz , Majidi Noorollah
Published: July 2022

The dynamic time history analysis is the most accurate method for calculating the structure response relative to the vibrating load. The use of this method is time-consuming due to the long-duration earthquakes and is generally less commonly used. Wavelet trans-forms are one of the new methods for filtering waves. The duration of a strong ground motion is actually a concept that can be used to turn an earthquake with a long time into an earthquake with a shorter time. In this paper, two concepts of filtration using wavelet transform and the use of a duration of strong ground motion are used for the time history analysis of structures. For this purpose, the acceleration of the earthquake in 5 states was filtered by wavelet transform. In each stage, the high and low frequencies are separated, and the number of earthquake acceleration points is half-past. Then the beginning and the end of the main earthquake and the approximate waves obtained from the wavelet transform are removed using the concept of the duration of the strong ground motion. Finally, two two-dimensional and three-dimensional structures are analyzed using the main earthquake and the waves obtained by combining the two concepts of wavelet transform and the duration of strong ground motion. The results show that by reducing the number of acceleration points of the main earthquake record to more than 95%, the dynamic response error is less than 8%.

Drought is a major abiotic constraint for growing rainfed rice in Bangladesh. A set of 18 boro rice genotypes were evaluated under irrigated and rainfed conditions to identify the high yielding and stress tolerant genotypes. The experiment was conducted by using randomized complete block design with three replications. Significant variations were observed among the genotypes both in irrigated and rainfed conditions. The genotypes BRRI dhan55, Gopal Deshi and Soilerpona showed the superior performance in terms of grain yield and yield contributing characters under rainfed condition. Based on stress tolerance index (STI) value, the genotypes BRRI dhan55, BRRI dhan58, Soilerpuna and Gopaldeshi were graded as drought tolerant genotypes. Under rainfed condition, yield per plant showed the positive and significant correlation with flag leaf length, number of primary branches per panicle, number of secondary branches per panicle, number of grains per panicle and thousand-seed weight. Path analysis revealed that the number of primary/secondary branches per panicle, and number of unfilled grains per panicle showed the highest positive and direct effect on grain yield under irrigated condition while Plant height, panicle length and thousand-seed weight had the highest direct but negative effect on grain yield.Thousand seed weight, number of primary branches per panicle and number of unfilled grains per panicle showed the highest positive and direct effect on grain yield under rainfed condition. Based on the results, seven genotypes from among the eighteen tested namely BRRI dhan36, BRRI dhan55, BRRI dhan58, BRRI dhan59, Soilerpona, Gopal Deshi and Borail were identified as drought tolerance genotypes with high yield potential.

Published: July 2022

Introduction: Shoulder pain comes next to back and knee pain, considering the frequency of musculoskeletal ailments. The Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) is considered a highly specific questionnaire for assessing shoulder pain and functions. The objective of the study was to assess the validity and reliability of the Bangla version of SPADI (B-SPADI) among the Bangla-speaking patients.
Materials and methods: The B-SPADI was developed using a designed process that included forward translation and backward translation, authentication, response, and final rectification. Validity and reliability were conducted in 48 patients with shoulder pain. The reliability was appraised by executing internal consistency and test-retest analyses. Its validity was assessed by comparing the SPADI with the SF- 36, Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH), and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) questionnaire.
Results: The cross-cultural adaptation method was flawlessly aligned with the content or language. Internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha) was 0.97 for the total SPADI score. Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) was 0.95 for the total SPADI with 0.92 for pain subtotal and 0.96 for disability subtotal. The SPADI total score showed a correlation of 0.63–0.71 with the SF-36 physical scales, of 0.89 with the DASH and of 0.94 with the ASES. All of the items were statistically significant (P<0.001).
Conclusion: The B-SPADI came out as an appropriate valid, and reliable instrument for measuring pain and disability in patients with shoulder afflictions.

Treatment of the tannery wastewater by mixing the effluents in desired ratio, with natural coagulants prepared by using natural elements and small quantity of chemicals is a cost-effective method. Here, indigenous naturalcoagulant named chitosan extracted from shrimp-shell and Morinaga Oleifera seed as a bio-absorbent was used. To the best of knowledge, this comprehensive hybrid method not been investigated yet for tannery effluent treatment. Chitosan can also be used in water processing engineering as a part of a filtration process. Chitosan causes the fine sediment particles to bind together and is subsequently removed with the sediment during sand filtration. The Chitosan and Morinaga seeds extraction works on wastewater treatment in an excellent way. The reduction of BOD, COD, Salinity proves the effectively of these prepared coagulants from natural elements. Resultant coagulant treated wastewater significantly reduced the pollutants were 97% TDS, 46% COD, 10% Salinity and 43% BOD respectively and removal proves the effectivity of these prepared coagulants. Moreover, it will help on the designing a low-cost chemical free treatment technology of the tannery effluent as for attracting the tannery-owner to set up a treatment plant. At the same time, the effect of the treated water to the vegetative seed germination and growth was also examined. That can be identified the impact of application of the treated wastewater for irrigation.
