Combination antimicrobial therapy (CAT) involves intentional addition of two or more antimicrobial agents for better therapeutic outcome. CAT is normally applied for treatment of polymicrobial infections, life-threatening infections and prevention of the emergence of resistance. This research aimed at determining the combined activity of blue vitriol, brimstone and black stone on clinical Candida species isolates using Fractional Inhibitory Concentration Index. The brimstone, blue vitriol and black stone samples were purchased from a community market in southeastern Nigeria. The isolates were obtained from high vaginal swab samples of patients attending a Teaching hospital in Nigeria and identified based on their morphological, physiological and molecular characteristics. The minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of the samples were determined using the broth dilution method. The fractional inhibitory concentration indexes (FICI) of the samples against the isolates were obtained from their individual FIC values. FICI of <1 indicates synergism; 1 to 2 (Indifference); while >2 (antagonism). All the test agents were synergistic against C. albicans (FICI < 1). All the test agents were indifferent against C. tropicalis (FICI 1 - 2). Brimstone + black stone combination was indifferent (FICI 1 - 2) against C. glabrata; while all the test agents were antagonistic against the isolate (FICI > 2). Blue vitriol + Black stone combination was antagonistic (FICI > 2) against C. parapsilosis; Blue vitriol + brimstone was indifferent (FICI 1 - 2); while brimstone + black stone was synergistic (FICI < 1). The findings have revealed that antimicrobial combination outcome could be synergistic, antagonistic or indifferent; thus the need for proper in vitro screening before combination therapy.

Newcastle Disease (ND) has been considered as a threat to poultry industry worldwide. Despite different strategies aimed at controlling ND in Nigeria, the severe form of the disease continues to occur even in vaccinated poultry farms. The disease is transmitted primarily through contact with infected or carrier birds. Newcastle disease virus (NDV) shedding through either cloacal or oropharyngeal route play a critical role in the spread of NDV. However, there is paucity of information on the comparative contribution of these routes to NDV shedding. In this study, a total of 256 swab samples were collected from cloacal (n = 128) and oropharyngeal (n = 128) routes from broilers, layers, village chickens, ducks and turkeys that were naturally exposed to NDV. Haemagglutination (HA) and haemagglutination inhibition (HI) tests were carried out to detect the presence of the virus. The results of NDV shedding from cloacal and oropharyngeal routes were compared. The result showed a higher prevalence (42.2%) of NDV shedding from cloacal route when compared with oropharyngeal route (26.6%). In addition, village chickens showed a higher prevalence (43.8%) of NDV shedding when compared with all other breeds sampled. Furthermore, birds at 6 weeks shed higher NDV (66.6%) than the birds of other ages. Therefore, the result of this study showed that the prevalence of NDV shedding was higher in village chickens via cloacal route. There is a need to quantify the amount of NDV shedding in both cloacal and oropharyngeal routes from these breeds of poultry so as to evaluate the viral infective dose.

Heavy metals bioaccumulation in fish constitute an issue of public health concerns. This study aimed to evaluate the levels of Cadmium (Cd) and Lead (Pb) in the head and muscle tissues of imported frozen fish as well as health risk to man. A total of 30 frozen fish were sampled from different fish markets in Damaturu and Maiduguri in Yobe and Borno States, Nigeria respectively. Heavy metal concentrations were determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The highest mean concentration levels (0.60 ± 0.32 mg/kg and 0.06 ± 0.10 mg/kg) of Pb and Cd were found in the head and the lowest (0.09 ± 0.02 and 0.01 ± 0.00) in the muscle tissues respectively. The mean concentration levels of Pb (0.60 ± 0.32 mg/kg) and Cd (0.06 ± 0.10 mg/kg) in fish markets A and D exceed the maximum allowable limits of 0.50 mg/kg and 0.05 mg/kg respectively. Fish markets had statistically significant (p< 0.05) effect on the concentration levels of Pb among the sampled fish. The assessment of potential health risk; estimated daily intake, the target cancer rate, target hazard quotient and hazard index values obtained were below the threshold, indicating consumption of head and muscle of imported frozen fish sold in the study areas is safe and hazardless. However, because of their non-degradable nature and tendency to accumulate in tissues and organs, we recommended that heavy metals contamination in imported frozen fish should be monitored regularly, and packages should contain concentration labels before releasing it into the market value chain.

Published: May 2024

This study determined the prevalence of fetal wastage amongst slaughtered pregnant food-producing animals; the associated reasons and economic losses in Maiduguri abattoir. A seven -year (2014-2020) retrospective study on fetal wastage was conducted using abattoir records. Slaughterhouse workers/butchers were also interviewed on the factors or reasons for slaughtering of pregnant food-producing animals using a semi-structured questionnaire. Economic losses were estimated based on the price of average weight matured Cattle, Camel, Sheep and Goat and 1 kg of beef, camel meat, mutton and chevon in Maiduguri. Of the 287563 female food-producing animals slaughtered during the study period, 53 797 (18.7%) fetal wastages were recorded with species-specific prevalences of 12% (n=10137), 9.5% (n=33458), 17.4% (n=13442) and 28.3% (n=26760) for calves, camel calves, lambs, and kids respectively.There was statistically significant association (p<0.05) between season, species of slaughtered food-producing animals and the occurrence of fetal wastage. About N2.889 billion ($3,675,771), N985.5 million ($1,253,884.5), N1.277 billion ($1,624,344) and N762.660 million ($971,120.4) for cattle, camel, sheep and goat respectively were lost, that could have accrued if the fetuses have survived and reached market value as adults. Additionally, 1 213 380 kg of beef, 397 485 kg of camel meat, 357 560 kg of mutton and 564 368.4 kg of chevon valued at N3, 640,140,000 ($4,610,844), N1, 192,455,000 ($1,510,443), N1, 251,460,000 ($1,609,020) and N1, 975,289,400 ($2,539,657.8) respectively were also lost. Majority of the factors leading to the slaughter of pregnant food-producing animals were disease conditions, economic hardship, ignorance of the pregnancy status of the animal and feed scarcity during dry season. Therefore, it is imperative to reduce the slaughter of pregnant food-producing animals through proper screening test, advocacy and public enlightenment campaigns for the need of pregnancy status assessment using an affordable, user-friendly rapid test kits at farms, livestock markets and abattoirs.

Tamarindus indica has numerous therapeutic benefits. Its therapeutic effects have been reported in some neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer's disease in rats. This study evaluated quantitative phytochemistry and effect of tamarind fruit pulp extract in traumatic brain injury (TBI) - induced neurobehavioral and histological changes in rats. Six groups of five rats each were used for this study. Groups I, II, III, and IV were treated with tamarind fruit pulp extract at doses of 100, 200, 400, and 800 mg/kg, orally, after being induced with TBI. Rats in group V were traumatized but not treated (TNT), while rats in group VI were not traumatized and were not treated (NTNT). The administration of treatment commenced 30 minutes after the occurrence of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and persisted for 21 consecutive days. The fruit was extracted using water, while HPLC quantified the phytochemicals. Neurological severity scores and novel object discrimination tests were carried out. The histological appearance of the brain tissue was also evaluated. The tamarind fruit pulp extract showed the characteristic peaks of rutin flavonoids, caffeic acids and tannic acids in the HPLC analysis. Tamarind fruit pulp extract improved neurological scores and memory function in the treated groups compared to group V, which did not show improvement. Histological results showed few lesions in the treated groups, while in the TNT group, massive and diffused lesions were observed. This study has shown that Tamarindus indica fruit contains neuro-therapeutic substances which may benefit TBI patients by improving their neurological and memory function.

Published: May 2024

The theory of neutrosophic hypersoft set (NHSS) is an appropriate extension of the neutrosophic soft set to precisely measure the uncertainty, anxiety, and deficiencies in decision-making and is a parameterized family that handles sub-attributes of the parameters. In contrast to recent studies, NHSS could accommodate more uncertainty, which is the essential procedures to describe fuzzy data in the decision-making method. Hedge funds are financial funds, finance institutions that increase funds from stockholders and accomplish them. Usually, they try to make certain predictions and work with the time sequence dataset. A hedge fund is heterogeneous in its investment strategies and invests in a different resource class with various return features. Furthermore, hedge fund strategy is idiosyncratic and proprietary to the hedge fund manager, and the correct skills of fund managers are not visible to the stockholders. These reasons, united, make hedge fund selection a complex task for the stockholders. Different techniques have been analyzed to select the portfolio of hedge funds for investment. Machine-learning (ML) models employed used for performing individual hedge fund selection within hedge fund style classifications and forecasting hedge fund returns. Therefore, this study designs a new Single Valued Neutrosophic Hypersoft Set VIKOR Model for Hedge Fund Return Prediction (SVNHSS-HFRP) technique. The presented SVNHSS-HFRP technique aims to forecast the hedge fund returns proficiently. In the SVNHSS-HFRP technique, two stages of operations are involved. At the initial stage, the SVNHSS-HFRP technique, the SVNHSS is used for forecasting the hedge funds. Next, in the second stage, the moth flame optimization (MFO) system is applied to optimally choose the parameter values of the SVNHSS model. The performance validation of the SVNHSS-HFRP model is verified on a benchmark dataset. The experimental values highlighted that the SVNHSS-HFRP technique reaches better performance than existing techniques

Authors: Lamo-Espinosa José María , Mariscal Gonzalo , Gómez-Álvarez Jorge , San-Julian Mikel
Published: May 2024

Introduction:

The goal of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of vitamin E cup cross-linked polyethylene (VEPE) liners compared with standard polyethylene (PE) liners in total hip arthroplasty.

Methods:

A systematic search of the PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, and Cochrane Collaboration Library databases was conducted. The evaluated outcomes were radiological parameters, functional scores (Harris Hip Score, Numeric Rating Scale, and Activity Scale from the University of California), and adverse events. Odds ratios and mean differences (MD) were calculated for the dichotomous and continuous variables. Meta-analysis was done using Review Manager.

Results:

Seven randomized controlled trials (n = 990) were included. VEPE liners showed markedly lower penetration at the last follow-up (MD, −0.15; 95% confidence interval [CI], −0.18 to −0.11) and penetration rate at last follow-up (MD, −0.01; 95% CI, −0.01 to −0.00) than standard PE liners. However, no notable differences were observed in cup migration, inclination, anteversion, or patient-reported outcomes. The complication rate was not markedly different between the groups (odds ratio, 1.07; 95% CI, 0.42 to 2.73).

Discussion:

This meta-analysis found that while VEPE demonstrated decreased penetration rates in total hip arthroplasty, no differences were observed in patient outcomes or complications compared with standard PE. However, the clinical relevance of penetration rate reduction remains uncertain, given the short follow-up period.

This study looked into identified reasons for enrolling in the Alternative Learning System to determine what factors lead to ALS learners dropping out of the program. This study utilized a descriptive correlational design employing a researcher-made survey to gather data. The survey underwent validation by three experts in the field of research and Alternative Learning Systems and passed the validity test conducted. The responses of the participants were analyzed to determine if there is a significant difference in their profiles based on the reasons, they reported for enrolling in ALS using the ANOVA test. The investigation also looked into whether there is a correlation between the reasons reported by the participants for enrolling in ALS and the factors affecting their discontinuation. It was found that there is no significant difference in the profiles of the respondents such as age, gender, civil status, level taken, and monthly income in the reasons they reported for enrolling in ALS. However, it was discovered that there is a significant correlation between the reasons reported by the students for enrolling in ALS and the factors influencing their discontinuation. In response to the challenge of student discontinuation, it is proposed to initiate and effectively implement Radio-Based Instruction (RBI) as an alternative mode of delivery for ALS programs. Leveraging radio broadcasting, this innovative approach to distance learning has the potential to significantly enhance access to education by reaching students in diverse geographic locations, thereby mitigating the barriers posed by distance and geographical isolation. Moreover, RBI allows learners the flexibility to engage in their studies even while occupied with other activities, further facilitating their educational journey.

Objective: We aimed to investigate the effect of right ventricular energy failure (RVEF) on hemodynamic and clinical outcomes in
patients diagnosed with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) undergoing pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA)
surgery or balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA).
Patients and Methods: A total of 100 CTEPH patients planned for PEA or BPA were included in the study. Based on the presence of
RVEF during diagnosis, patients divided into two groups. Hemodynamic data from right heart catheterization (RHC) were compared
before and after procedures in 3-6 months follow up period.
Results: Patients with RVEF revealed a decrease in mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) from 54.67±12.27 mmHg to 36.12±11.76
mmHg (p:<0.001), mean right atrial pressure (mRAP) from 13.40±4.08 mmHg to 9.76±4.56 mmHg (p:0.003), and pulmonary vascular
resistance (PVR) from 11.36±5.15 Wood Units (WU) to 5.46±3.30 WU (p <0.001). In the non-RVEF group, mPAP decreased from
38.82±12.61 mmHg to 30.81±10.57 mmHg (p:<0.001), mRAP from 7.09±3.02mmHg to 7.15±3.07mmHg (p: 0.917), and PVR from
6.33±3.65 WU to 4.09±2.31 WU (p:<0.001).
Conclusion:The presence of RVEF at the time of diagnosis in CTEPH patients does not have a negative impact on early perioperative
and 3-month postoperative outcomes following PEA or BPA. This high-risk patient group demonstrated significant hemodynamic
and clinical benefits from both PEA and BPA.

Politik Hukum Perlindungan Pekerja Terhadap Tindak Pidana Pembayaran Upah Di Bawah Upah Minimum
Authors: Kabes Irianto , Sumanto Listyowati
Published: May 2024

Permasalahan ketenagakerjaan masih terus terjadi hingga saat ini, terlihat dari Putusan Pengadilan Negeri Cibinong Nomor 31/Pid.Sus/2023/PN Cbi tanggal 4 April 2023, bahwa Perusahaan Penanaman Modal Asing (PMA) bernama PT. Intan Kreasi Jaya bergerak dalam bidang usaha garmen (artinya menjahit pakaian) dari bahan mentah menjadi pakaian, dengan jumlah tenaga kerja kurang lebih 340 orang, dengan upah di bawah upah minimum. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat faktor-faktor penyebab terjadinya kejahatan ketenagakerjaan. Penelitian dilakukan dengan menggunakan penelitian hukum normatif dan bersifat deskriptif, menggunakan data sekunder untuk analisis kualitatif dan pengambilan kesimpulan menggunakan logika deduktif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penyelesaian kejahatan ketenagakerjaan masih berorientasi pada tindak pidana balas dendam. Hukuman yang bersifat preskriptif di masa depan seharusnya diubah menjadi hukuman relatif yang tujuannya untuk menciptakan ketertiban masyarakat dengan memperbaiki kerugian pekerja. Dari segi delik ketenagakerjaan harus ada kejelasan karena tindak pidana membayar upah merupakan tindak pidana yang termasuk dalam kategori delik biasa (gewone delict) dan tidak boleh berubah menjadi delik aduan (klack delict), Seperti yang diatur dalam UU No. 2 Tahun 2004 tentang Penyelesaian Sengketa Hubungan Industrial, terdapat quo vadis dalam peradilan pidana ketenagakerjaan bahwa penyelesaian tindak pidana ketenagakerjaan, yang merupakan bagian dari hukum publik, tidak boleh ditangani melalui peradilan industrial yang termasuk dalam lingkup hukum privat.

BACKGROUND

Psychological distress, especially depression, associated with perianal fistulizing Crohn’s disease (PFCD) is widespread and refractory. However, there is a surprising paucity of studies to date that have sought to identify the prevalence and risk factors of depression associated with PFCD.

AIM

To estimate the prevalence of depressive symptoms and investigate the depression-related risk factors in patients with PFCD.

METHODS

The study was conducted in the form of survey and clinical data collection via questionnaire and specialized medical staff. Depressive symptoms, life quality, and fatigue severity of patients with PFCD were assessed by Patient Health Questionnaire-9, Inflammatory Bowel Disease Patient Quality of Life Questionnaire (IBDQ), and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Fatigue Patient Self-assessment Scale. The basic demographic information, overall disease features, perianal clinical information, and laboratory inflammation indicators were also gathered. Multivariate regression analysis was ultimately used to ascertain the risk factors of depression associated with PFCD.

RESULTS

A total of 123 patients with PFCD were involved, and 56.91% were suffering from depression. According to multivariate logistic regression analysis, Perianal Disease Activity Index (PDAI) score [odds ratio (OR) = 0.69, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.50 to 0.95], IBDQ score (OR = 0.93, 95%CI: 0.88 to 0.97), modified Van Assche index (OR = 1.24, 95%CI: 1.01 to 1.53), and IBD Fatigue score (OR = 1.72, 95%CI: 1.23 to 2.42) were independent risk factors of depression-related prevalence among patients with PFCD (P < 0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that the increasing perianal modified Van Assche index (β value = 0.166, 95%CI: 0.02 to 0.31) and decreasing IBDQ score (β value = -0.116, 95%CI: -0.14 to -0.09) were independently associated with the severity of depression (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSION

Depressive symptoms in PFCD patients have significantly high prevalence. PDAI score, modified Van Assche index, quality of life, and fatigue severity were the main independent risk factors.
