Authors: Matti Nazish , Majid Gul , Faisal Nadeem Muhammad , KHAN Tahir Mehmood , Nabeel Shahid Muhammad
Published: August 2023

Background: Oral anticancer drugs (OACDs) have been used since the 1950s and are expected to be linked with enhanced life quality which helps patients receive treatment at home. Although more convenient in use than intravenous or other infused drugs, the high costs of these OACDs have been proven controversial.
Methods: The literature was searched systematically from PubMed, Cochrane, Embase, and Scopus according to the PRISMA guidelines. The inclusion criteria included studies in the English language, evaluating Pharmacoeconomics, and evaluating cost-utility and cost-effectiveness related to OACDs. The information on the included studies was synthesized in the form of summary tables.
Results: Thirteen studies were included for quantitative analysis, which evaluated the costs or cost-effectiveness of different OACDs used for various types of cancer. It was found that the average cost for the OACDs was $80979/year in attaining (quality-adjusted life per year) QALY across different countries. The costs of different OACDs were highly varied alone in the US. The included studies' results were highly varied, limiting the findings' interpretations.
Conclusion: Various studies about cost-effectiveness persist insufficiently represented in the literature regarding OACDs, suggesting the requirement of more cost-effectiveness analysis shortly. The increased costs of these OACDs require careful evaluation of the cost-effectiveness studies.

Published: August 2023

In recent years, a new pest has been reported in Guatemalan fir (Abies guatemalensis) plantations, a biofilm of microorganisms known as “green algae”. The objective of this research was to identify the algae and fungi that make up the biofilm growing on Guatemalan fir leaves. Leaf samples were collected from three locations where the biofilm has been reported, and the algae and fungi present on the leaves were isolated. Microorganisms were cultured in vitro and identified by light microscopy; in the case of fungi, DNA extraction and amplification of the ITS region were also performed. Four algae of the genera Desmococcus, Klebsormidium and the class Trebouxiophyceae, and 11 fungi of the genera Alternaria, Aspergillus, Fusarium, Mucor, Trichoderma and Ulocladium were identified from 120 leaves of 15 trees. It was concluded that the biofilm affecting Guatemalan fir plantations in Guatemala is composed of several species of epiphytic algae and fungi, which may vary according to the locality. The factors affecting the richness of microorganisms in the biofilm and their symbiotic relationship still need to be addressed.

Background: Production of microbial enzymes at the industrial scale and their commercialization has attained a lot of value and public focus. Usage of micro organisms as bio-reactors begins due to the evolution of enzymes produced by microorganisms. There are so many industrially significant enzymes are originated from microbes, that include pectinases, lipases, amylases, proteases, xylynases etc. Methods: The actual work involved the use of microbes isolated from the decaying orange peel and tomato pulp for the extraction of the pectinase enzyme. The organisms were isolated and screened from the samples and were cultured onto pectin agar plate. Morphological and microscopic identification revealed that the bacteria isolated was Bacillus sp. Pectinase production media was later used for the lab scale production of pectinase enzyme by inoculating the bacteria and incubating for 48 hours. The enzyme thus produced was purified by Various methods. The pectinase enzymes isolated from bacillus sp. were used for improvement of tea leaves quality and clarification. The enzymes were characterized and purified. Results: The outcome of both purified pectinase enzymes and crude enzyme preparation on the improvement of tea extracts were determined in terms of flavanoids (310mg/gm), DPPH (49mg/gm), caffeine content (0.56-0.95), moisture content (7.2-6.7%), ash (4.1-4.6%), total phenol content (285mg/gm), and pH(6) and the shelf life analysis of the tea produced. The results thus obtained can conclude that the use of Bacillus sp. in the industrial production of pectinase is highly beneficial. According to the findings obtained from the study the enzyme treated tea extract improves its various quality parameters than the tea extracts which is non enzyme treated. And the utilization of microbial pectinase produced from bio-waste were most cost effective and yield good results for industrial use.

Strategies for Expository and Literary Texts
Authors: Schmitz Anke , Dannecker Wiebke
Published: August 2023

Based on the assumption that reading strategies facilitate text comprehension and that they should differ regarding types of texts, this study aims at analysing which cognitive and metacognitive reading strategies are applied by university students (N = 54) for reading a narrative text compared to an expository text. To measure text-specific reading strategies, different channels of information were included such as highlighting of text segments qualitatively and quantitatively, qualitative and quantitative note-taking as well as the coherence of notes, and self-reported strategy use after reading. The findings show that students’ highlighting of text segments and note-taking differ regarding the type of text in amount and depth of processing, indicating a greater depth of processing for narrative texts. The self-reported strategies for reading the two types of texts also reveal differences in terms of the frequencies of applying elaborative and metacognitive strategies. Moreover, correlation analyses show that there is more correspondence between the reading strategies in the narrative condition compared to the expository condition. In sum, the students adapt their reading strategies to the types of texts and it appears that narrative text was read in a more strategic and deeply oriented manner than the expository text.

Hücresel redoks homeostazı, iç veya dış stres faktörlerine maruz kaldığında tehlikeye girerek oksidanların üstünlüğüne neden olur. Bu reaktif oksijen türlerinin diyabet ve kanser gibi birçok ciddi hastalığın etiyolojisinde kritik rol oynadığı bilinmektedir. Melanom, cilt kanserinin en ölümcül şeklidir ve oranları şu anda diğer önlenebilir kanserlerden daha hızlı artmaktadır. Melanom, pigment üreten hücreler olan melanositlerde genetik mutasyonların ortaya çıkmasından kaynaklanır. Ziziphus Jujube Mill., Asya'nın tropik/subtropikal iklime sahip bölgelerinde yetişir ve binlerce yıldır temel geleneksel halk ilacı olarak kullanılmaktadır. Bu çalışma, Ziziphus Jujube’nin melanom üzerindeki potansiyel antioksidan etkilerini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Hücrelerin proliferasyonu, MTT analizi (kolorimetrik) ile ölçüldü. Melanom hücreleri, %100 konsantrasyonda Ziziphus Jujube esansiyel yağı ile üç saat muamele edildi. Total antioksidan ve oksidan kapasite, glutatyon ve nitrik oksit seviyeleri spektrofotometrik olarak belirlendi. Ziziphus Jujube, hücre çoğalmasını önlemiş ve toplam antioksidan kapasitesini artırmıştır. Sonuçlarımız, Ziziphus jujube'nin melanom hücrelerinde antioksidan seviyelerindeki düşüşü ve nitrik oksit seviyelerinin yükselmesini engellediğini göstermiştir. Ayrıca, Ziziphus Jujube uygulaması GSH düzeylerini iyileştirmiştir. Özetle, Ziziphus Jujube’nin melanom hücrelerinde potansiyel antioksidatif ve antiproliferatif etkiler gösterdiği sonucuna varılabilir. Son araştırmalar, Ziziphus Jujube meyvesinin tıbbi kullanımı için ayrıntılı bir etnofarmakolojik yaklaşım sunmaktadır.

Published: August 2023

The transportation sector across the globe has witnessed massive changes from the conventional “ICE (Internal Combustion Engine)” vehicles to battery driven electric vehicles (EVs) in the last two decades. While sustainability is the need of the hour and there exists a plethora of research analysing sustainable fuel alternativesandEVs,onecannotdisregardtheinfluenceofconsumerbehaviourand colossalresponsiveness towards this growing trend. Its adoption, however, has been challenged by the dilemma that as long as the number of charging stations is insufficient, manufacturers will not be incentivised to enter the EVmarket. Subsequently, a low number of EVs will fail to stimulate sufficient demand for charging stations, resulting in a 'chicken or the egg' quandary. In the case of India, the shift to EVs has been gradual as opposed to Norway, which has seen much rapid response and infrastructure readiness. By delving into questions surrounding technological factors and the legal-political schemes that impact prospective owners' choices towards EVs, the research carried out will help ascertain the factors responsible for the growth of EVmarket in two distinct economies. This paper presents a comprehensive review of literature based on consumer preferences for EVs aiming to better inform policy-makers as well as give direction to further research. An attempt is also made to analyse Norway's success story from the Indian standpoint and delve deeper into the interrogation to better understand what factors influence consumer preferences in the Indian market

On 12 January 2020, the WHO confirmed that a novel coronavirus was the cause of a respiratory illness in a cluster of people in Wuhan City, China. The aims of the study to assess the human perception to the origin of Coronavirus with relation to nature and find out preventative management about coronavirus. Primary data was collected for analyzing some factors regarding the Coronavirus microorganism formed by the impact of climate change. Primary data was collected through an online questionnaire survey. An online questionnaire survey is used for human perception for taking public opinion about the origin of Coronavirus and preventative management which are conducted in Bangladesh. SPSS software is used for Linear Regression analysis and correlation with some variables. A total of three variables were considered in the model estimation of which are dependent variables Coronavirus microorganism formed by the impact of climate change and independent variables such as Coronavirus microorganism formed by the impact of environmental pollution, Coronavirus microorganism formed by the impact of global heat and Coronavirus microorganism originated by the sources of the impact of ice melting polar region. From the analysis, it is found that the Coronavirus microorganism formed by the impact of climate change that makes a unique and statistically significant contribution to the prediction. Among 200 respondents, about 70% of peoples said “Maybe” Coronavirus microorganism formed by the impact of climate change, and it’s some factor. It is also found from the correlation analysis that the epidemic effects of COVID-19 will high on Bangladesh, if immigrant persons come, if Curfew doesn’t issue, if peoples are not conscious, if peoples are not properly using mask and hand gloves, if they are not maintaining social distance and lock down rules. In the finding that, in the polar region, there are many ice stacks where thousands of years ago, the animals are dead but the virus and bacteria are in a state of sleep. As the heat increases, all glaciers and permafrost start to melt in the Polar region. As a result, many types of viruses, bacteria are starting to live. These viruses including Coronavirus will be mixed with different environmental elements such as water, biodiversity. This will easily affect biodiversity and other animals including humans. Above all Climate change may play a significant role in the transmission of many infectious diseases including Coronavirus. Community responses are important for outbreak management during the early phase of major preventive options.

Abstract: Soil is a well-studied ecological niche for the discovery of beneficial biologically active chemicals like therapeutically relevant antibiotics. Actinobacteria have been recognised as one of the largest microbial groups in soil that are capable of producing a wide range of beneficial secondary metabolites and compounds with varying characteristics. Therefore, the current study aimed to assess antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of Streptomyces rimosus ACW9 isolated from wheat farm soil. Molecular identification (16S rRNA ribotyping) was used to identify strain ACW9. Ethyl acetate crude extract displayed promising antibacterial activity against clinically isolated uropathogens, Enterobacter sp. (20 mm) and Bacillus subtilis (14 mm). In addition, the extract showed 62.3% DPPH scavenging with IC50= 1.829 mg/ml. The characterization of the purified metabolites from strain ACW9 was done by GCMS, FTIR, and HPLC techniques. The profound metabolites of ethyl acetate extract were identified by GCMS were cyclohexane, (-2-Nitro-2-Propyl), hexadecane, and pentanoic acid. It may be concluded that actinobacteria isolated from wheat farm soil is a promising source for medicinally important bioactive compounds

Published: August 2023

The development of bacterial biofilms entails regulatory as well as signalling mechanisms that regulate the shift from a mobile to astationary state of existence, the production of the extracellular polymeric matrix, and the progression of 3-dimensional biofilm formation withemphasis on how easily they may be created and how crucial they are in biological, ecological, and industrial settings, biofilms are the subject ofextensive research. Biofilms and a variety of pathogenic human disorders are frequently linked. Since bacteria in biofilms can resist antibiotics, theimmune system, and other treatments, biofilm infections are typically long-lasting. Many prokaryotes include CRISPR-associated proteins (Cas), a solidadaptable immunological system that may be programmed to damage the bacterial genomes and induce cell death. Short palindromic repeats that aregrouped and adequately spaced together make up CRISPR-Cas. In light of this, CRISPR-Cas can be seen as an exciting strategy to address andovercome antibiotic resistance. Furthermore, the CRISPR-Cas system can create "precise antimicrobials" that target bacterial infections according tospecific DNA sequences. This CRISPR-Cas technique is susceptible to drug-resistant microorganisms due to its selective targeting of the genesinvolved in biofilm formation, pathogenicity, and antibiotic resistance. However, this method requires potent vectors for the CRISPR-Cas system toaccess the bacterial genomes. As vectors, genetically engineered Phage, liposomes, and lipid-mediated nanoparticles are exciting options. Thistechnique has been used to prevent extracellular and intracellular from forming biofilms. The most current developments in creating innovations andpossible advantages of the various CRISPR-Cas delivery methods for the deliberate eradication of bacterial pathogens will be covered in this review,focussing mainly on the anti-biofilm potential, which is found to be one of the primary causes of the difficulty of irradiation of Multi-drug resistantbacteria. Additionally, each distribution system's positive aspects are highlighted, along with its challenges and potential for advancement in the future.

So far, there have been limited studies examining the strategies to develop the halal industry and improve the competitiveness of MSMEs in East Priangan, a high-potential area in West Java, Indonesia. Thus, this research focuses on the development of the halal industry to enhance the competitiveness of MSMEs in the area. The study utilized the analytic network process (ANP) approach and a structured questionnaire to identify suitable strategies. Seven key respondents, including academics and practitioners, were selected based on their expertise. The analysis yielded three key criteria for strategies: (1) education for MSMEs, (2) integrated financing, and (3) an MSME database. The top priority strategies include strengthening human resource capacity, halal literacy, and financing support. The research provides recommendations for MSMEs and regulatory agencies to improve competitiveness, serving as a reference for future relevant studies.

Background and Objectives: Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE) and
tufted angioma (TA) are rare vascular tumors in children historically
associated with significant morbidity and mortality. This study was
conducted to determine first line therapy in the absence of available
prospective clinical trials. Methods: Patients from 17 institutions
diagnosed with KHE/TA between 2005-2020 with > 6 months
follow-up were included. Response rates to sirolimus and vincristine
were compared at 3 and 6 months. Durability of response and response to
other treatment modalities were also evaluated. Results: Of 159 unique
KHE/TA subjects, Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon (KMP) was present in 64
(40.3%) and only 2 patients were deceased (1.3%). Over 60% (n=96)
demonstrated treatment response at 3 months and >70%
(n=114) by 6 months (no significant difference across groups). The
vincristine group had higher radiologic response at 3 months compared to
sirolimus (72.7% vs 20%, p=0.03) but there was no differences between
these groups at 6 months. There were no differences in rates of
recurrent or progressive disease between vincristine and sirolimus.
Conclusions: In this large, multicenter cohort of 159 patients with
KHE/TA, rates of KMP were consistent with historical literature but the
mortality rate (1.3%) was much lower. Overall treatment response rates
were high (>70%) and there were no significant difference
in treatment response or durability of disease comparing sirolimus to
vincristine. Our results support individualized treatment decision plans
depending on clinical scenario and patient/physician preferences.
Response criteria and response rates reported here will be useful for
guiding future treatment protocols for vascular tumors.

Background Recommendations have been issued on healthy
complementary feeding (CF) strategies for infants, to reduce food
allergy. This is a study of routine guidance provided by Greek
pediatricians on the timing of CF for healthy infants and those at high
risk for allergy. Methods Pediatricians in Greece completed an
anonymous online questionnaire covering demographic information and
recommended CF, specifically the foods, preparation methods,
supplements, time interval between introduction of new foods for infants
at low and high risk for allergy, and foods delayed in the case of high
allergy risk. Results The respondents (n=233) recommended
introducing: at 6 months, fruits, starchy non-gluten-grains, vegetables,
olive oil and meat; at 7 months, gluten-rich grains; at 8 months,
yogurt, hard-boiled egg and legumes; at 8.5 months, fish; at 9 months,
nuts. A longer interval between new foods (≥ 4 days) was recommended,
for low-risk infants, by male pediatricians (p=0.04), and for infants at
high risk of allergy, by pediatricians with no subspecialty
(p<0.001) and those practicing in a rural/semi-urban area
(p=0.002). Pediatric practice of < 15 years was a predictor
for earlier introduction of egg, seafood, gluten-rich grains, legumes
and nuts for infants at high risk of allergy, and parenthood and male
sex for egg and grains. Conclusions Greek pediatricians use a
food introduction schedule for CF of infants, and, although not
explicitly recommended in current guidelines, they delay introduction of
common food allergens and suggest longer time intervals between
introduction of new foods, especially for infants at high risk of
allergy.
