Authors: VALSAINT Christopher Williams , JOSEPH Thaimye , JUSCA Erley kohlz SAINT , SAMSON Yardley Marie Carmelle , Paul Axler Jean
Published: April 2024

Introduction/Background: Anetoderma is a rare and
benign skin disorder characterized by a loss of elastic tissue in the
mid-dermis. Among the five main types, the secondary form typically
develops in areas of damaged or pathological skin. Understanding the
origin of the anetoderma is pivotal for accurate diagnosis and
management, considering the impact on patient outcomes. Therefore, in
our study, we describe a patient who presented to Hospital of the State
University of Haiti with secondary anetoderma.

Case presentation: Here we present a case study of a
26-year-old male who presented to the dermatology department with a
protruding oval mass located at the lateral third of the posterior right
arm. The patient did not experience any associated symptoms such as
pain, erythema, or tenderness. The mass evolved over 30 months following
the resection by cautery of a molluscum contagiosum (Figure 1). After
the wound had healed, he noticed a hyperchromic macule with a wrinkled
center that evolved overtime, eventually taking on the appearance of a
cystic mass (Figure 2) with wrinkling and a bulged-out appearance.
Routine evaluations were normal. The mass was surgically resected, and
the cutaneous specimen was sent to pathology. The skin fragment measured
2 x 1.9 x 1.5 cm with a raised flaccid area, and the average resection
margin was 0.7 cm. Upon sectioning, the tissue appeared firm and
whitish. The adipose fragment was irregular and measured 1 x 1 x 0.4 cm.
Microscopically, sections of skin including the epidermis and dermis
were observed. Fragments of adipose tissue from the subcutaneous tissue
were also present. The epidermis appeared regular, and the dense
underlying dermis showed a few vessels with a discrete lymphoplasmacytic
infiltrate surrounding them.  The clinical and pathological findings
allowed us to confirm the diagnosis of secondary anetoderma. No atypical
changes were observed. Since the resection, the patient has
shown improvement with the incision site now displaying a mild
hypertrophic scar. Regular monitoring and appropriate scar
management has ensured favorable recovery.

Conclusion: This case illustrates the classic presentation of
secondary anetoderma. Based on the available information, it is
recommended to consider the possibility of anetoderma in patients
presenting with skin lesions following molluscum contagiosum or other
skin disorders where the integrity of the underlying elastic tissue is
compromised. Consultation with a dermatologist and additional
investigations, such as skin biopsy, may be necessary to confirm the
diagnosis.
Future Atmospheric Rivers in Antarctica : intensity and impacts
Authors: Barthélemy Léonard , Codron Francis , Favier Vincent , Wille Jonathan
Published: April 2024

Atmospheric rivers (ARs) are extreme hydrological events that have
strong impacts on the Antarctic surface mass balance (SMB), through both
snow accumulation and surface melt due to heating and rain. To estimate
their impacts on future SMB, we study Antarctic ARs in an ensemble of
21st century simulations. While the number of detected ARs increases
continuously when using a constant detection threshold based on
historical moisture fluxes, it remains stable with an adaptive threshold
evolving with the rising background moisture. However, ARs penetrate
further into Antarctica following a wave number 3 pattern. In addition,
the intensity of Antarctic ARs, measured by moisture fluxes, is
simulated to increase following the Clausius-Clapeyron relation. The
opposing SMB impacts become larger, with both increasing snowfall, and
coastal surface melt and rainfall. Yet, their overall influence on the
SMB is dominated by increased snow accumulation.

Aim: To investigate the prevalence of depressive symptoms among
adults living in the UAE during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods:
This cross-sectional study used a self-administered anonymous online
questionnaire distributed in both Arabic and English via social media
platforms. A total of 261 adults living in the UAE were included in the
study. Patients clinically diagnosed with depression were excluded from
this study. Results: Overall, the prevalence of depression
among our studied population was 63%. Several parameters were
correlated with depression to assess their associations. A lower
household income was found to be linked to a greater likelihood of
developing depression, as 74.6% of depressed subjects had an income
lower than 20,000 Dhs (p=0.003). Age also had a significant
correlation[](https://d.docs.live.net/c230006d1f964528/%D8%B3%D8%B7%D8%AD%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D9%83%D8%AA%D8%A8/Covid-19%20and%20depression%20-%20second%20draft%20-%20AK%20comments%5b1%5d.docx)(95%
CI, p=0.003) with depression, and those in the younger age group (18-25
years) had a greater prevalence of depression than did those in the
older age group. Difficulty performing daily activities, restless sleep,
feeling lonely, feeling sad, feeling inadequate, and losing hope were
the most commonly reported symptoms in depressed subjects. A total of
78.21% of our participants did not know about hotlines when they were
depressed; however, this difference was not statistically significant
(95% CI, p=0.178). Conclusions: Depression was prevalent in
63% of our participants. A lower household income and younger age were
associated with a greater risk of depression. We believe that our
findings will encourage institutions and government authorities to
implement awareness programs about depression awareness and screening
for depression.
Liraglutide and Exercise Synergistically Attenuate Vascular Inflammation and Enhance Metabolic Insulin Action in Early Diet-induced Obesity
Authors: Liu Jia , W. Aylor Kevin , Liu Zhenqi
Published: April 2024

  

Inflammation-induced vascular insulin resistance is an early event in diet-induced obesity and contributes to metabolic insulin resistance. To examine whether exercise and glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonism, alone or in combination, modulate vascular and metabolic insulin actions during obesity development, we performed a euglycemic insulin clamp in adult male rats after 2 weeks of high-fat diet feeding with either access to running wheel (exercise), liraglutide, or both. Rats exhibited increased visceral adiposity and blunted microvascular and metabolic insulin responses. Exercise and liraglutide alone each improved muscle insulin sensitivity but their combination fully restored insulin-mediated glucose infusion rates. The combined exercise and liraglutide intervention enhanced insulin-mediated muscle microvascular perfusion, reduced perivascular macrophage accumulation and superoxide production in the muscle, attenuated blood vessel inflammation and improved endothelial function, along with increased endothelial nucleus translocation of NRF2 and increased endothelial AMPK phosphorylation. We conclude that exercise and liraglutide synergistically enhance the metabolic actions of insulin and reduce vascular oxidative stress and inflammation in the early stage of obesity development. Our data suggest that early combination use of exercise and GLP-1 receptor agonism might be an effective strategy in preventing vascular and metabolic insulin resistance and associated complications during the development of obesity.
Motion Artifact Mimics Subdural Hemorrhage on CT Scans: A Case Series
Authors: AF* Alahmari
Published: April 2024

The aim of this paper is to show a common phenomenon seen in brain computed tomography scans. This phenomenon is seen when the patient slightly moves during the brain scan which creates a motion artifact that appears like pathology and the radiologists might misdiagnose the case as a false positive case. A slight motion artifact appeared as a subdural hemorrhage in five cases. Some of these cases came to the hospital as road traffic accident cases, while others have only suffered a chronic headache. In this case series, five cases are presented, scanned again to rule out any pathology, and these cases are discussed in this paper to find any common pattern among these cases.

The study was planned to determine the effects of dietary incorporation of Neem (Azadirachta indica), Moringa (Moringa oleifera), and Jute (Corchorus olitorius) leaf powder on production performance, carcass traits, and blood indices of broiler chickens as a substitute for the antibiotic. A total of 200-day-old Cobb 500 broiler chicks were divided randomly into 5 experimental groups. Whereas groups T1, T2, T3, and T4 were offered basal feed supplemented with 2% Neem Leaf Powder (NLP), 2% Moringa Leaf Powder (MLP), 2% Jute Leaf Powder (JLP), and antibiotics, respectively. In this research, the total feed consumption of birds was significantly (P < 0.05) lower in the T1 and T2 group than in the T3 and T4 group. Final live weight was significantly (P < 0.05) higher in 2% MLP treated group T2 followed by T1, T3, and T0 group. Significantly (P < 0.05) better feed conversion ratio (FCR) was found in the T2 group compared to T0, T3, and T4 groups. There found no significant (P > 0.05) effect of treatments on the survivability percentage of birds. All the treatment groups showed an insignificant (P > 0.05) effect on dressing percentage and organs (liver, heart, and gizzard) weight of broiler chicken. Weight of immune organs (spleen and bursa) and blood parameters (concentration of hemoglobin, glucose, and cholesterol) were not influenced (P > 0.05) by dietary addition. Birds fed the lower amount of feed, higher body weight, and improved FCR were found in the 2% MLP treated group. In overall aspects, the effectiveness of 2% MLP addition was better than 2% NLP and 2% JLP as an antibiotic alternative.

Authors: Suciati Indah , Usman Mustofa
Published: April 2024

One of the models that can be used to predict time series data is the Bayesian Structural Time Series (BSTS) model. The BSTS model is a more modern model and can handle data movement better. In the BSTS model, the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling algorithm is used to simulate the posterior distribution, which smoothes the forecasting results over a large number of potential models using Bayesian averaging models. The purpose of this study was to obtain the best BSTS model for Composite Stock Price Index (CSPI) data in Indonesia based on the state component and the number of MCMC iterations, and obtain forecasting results for CSPI value in Indonesia for the next 24 months, namely the period July 2023 to June 2024. The results obtained are based on a comparison of the R-square values in the model, the BSTS model with local linear trend and seasonal state components, and the number of MCMC iterations n = 5 00 is the best BSTS model that can be used for forecasting the CSPI value in Indonesia with an R-square value of 99.96%. The results of forecasting the CSPI value in Indonesia for the period July 2023 to June 2024 range from 6589 to 6760, with the lowest forecasting value in October 2023 and the highest in March 2023.

The increase in the price of traditional construction materials is a serious issue. Concrete, which is made of cement, sand, coarse aggregate, and water, is widely used as a building material. However, an increase in concrete production has certain negative consequences for the environment, such as the extraction of natural resources such as aggregate. Therefore, innovation in concrete materials without neglecting strength can always be done. Coconut shells are one of the recycled materials that can be used as a replacement for conventional construction materials such as aggregate. The aim of this research is to investigate the properties of concrete by using coconut shell as a partial replacement for coarse aggregate. A total of 60 samples with 0%, 10%, 20% and 30% of coconut shells as coarse aggregate for concrete replacement were cast. The properties of fresh and hardened concrete with coconut shell as coarse aggregate replacement were determined at 7, 14, and 28 days of curing ages. The results showed that concrete with coconut shell as a coarse aggregate replacement had a positive impact on workability, porosity, density, and UPV but not on compressive and tensile strength. However, the concrete made from coconut shell aggregates satisfied the minimum requirements of normal concrete, resulting in the acceptable strength required for M30 grade concrete. It can be used as lightweight concrete. Using coconut shell as a replacement for aggregate is not only cost-effective and environmentally friendly, but it also helps solve the problem of conventional material shortages, such as coarse aggregate. It can also help to solve the problem of waste disposal.
REFORMULASI KONSEP DIVERSI BERDASARKAN CITA HUKUM NON-DISKRIMINASI

UU SPPA yang disahkan pada tahun 2012 mengusung pendekatan keadilan restoratif dalam bentuk diversi. Penerapan pendekatan restoratif dalam UU SPPA memiliki tujuan untuk melindungi kepentingan anak. Namun, implementasi pendekatan keadilan restoratif dalam UU SPPA melekat persyaratan yang bersifat diskriminatif. Metode yang digunakan dalam penulisan artikel ini ialah metode yuridis normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan dan pendekatan konseptual. Sebagai wujud implementasi keadilan restoratif yang menjadi prioritas dalam UU SPPA, penerapan diversi seharusnya dilakukan pada seluruh anak yang berkonflik dengan hukum. Persyaratan diversi membatasi penerapan keadilan restoratif dan memberikan ruang untuk melakukan pembalasan pada anak yang berkonflik. Kesepakatan diversi yang tercantum dalam UU SPPA berisiko memberikan rasa ketidakadilan di masyarakat. Perdamaian dan penyerahan kembali pada orang tua bukan merupakan cara yang efektif dalam pelaksanaan diversi. Keikutsertaan dalam pendidikan dan pelayanan masyarakat menjadi kunci supaya mereka tidak mengulangi perbuatannya.
Response of the Soil Organic Matter to Clear-cutting in the Face of Climate Change – a Report from the East Sudety Mountains, South-West Poland

Clear-cutting induces biogeochemical, ecological, and hydrological changes in the soil environment, especially in the conditions of climate change effect. This type of management affects soil carbon sequestration. In this paper, we generalize the effect of clear-cutting in mountainous mixed coniferous forests on the direction of organic matter transformation and the properties of humic substances. Soil samples of dystric Cambisols were taken two and ten years after clear-cutting (CC). Soil profiles located at the same elevation under forest cover without any harvesting were used as references. The contents of total organic carbon, total nitrogen, qualitative and quantitative characteristics of humic substances, as well as the mineralogical composition and the clay-associated C fraction, were analysed. Under mountainous conditions, clear-cutting in the mixed coniferous forest enhanced organic matter decomposition and decreased the low-molecular weight humic fraction. It also caused the accumulation of more stable humic acids, particularly in the upper soil horizons, and resulted in accumulation of humic substances with higher contents of C and O and lower H content in the first years after CC. Clear-cutting in the first two years reduced the aliphacity of humic acids in the topsoil. Ten years after harvesting, a significant increase in aliphacity in the Oa horizon confirmed organic matter recovery. Mixed coniferous forests are more resistant to biotic and abiotic disturbances, which is particularly important in the face of violent weather phenomena related to climate change. Thus, forest management plans should consider the conversion of spruce monocultures to mixed coniferous forests.

Published: April 2024

Nowadays, supply chain and road networks are full of complexity. Companies can differentiate themselves by offering superior customer service. Therefore, pharmaceutical distributors need to optimize route distribution for efficient and effective delivery to pharmacies, enhancing their competitiveness. In the field of operations research (OR), efficient route optimization is a significant function of the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) where the goal is to find the optimal distance travelled. The VRP can be solved using a range of algorithms, comprising exact methods, heuristics and meta-heuristics. This paper gives the basic concepts of some algorithms and these algorithms are compared based on the results. This study also extends its focus to the variation known as the Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows (VRPTW), that closely mirrors real-world scenarios, allowing for a more practical assessment of pharmaceutical distribution challenges and optimization solutions.

Urolithiasis, kidney failure, urinary tract infections are examples of disorders of the urinary tract that often become problems in cats. Urolithiasis is a medical term to describe the presence of stones or crystals known as “urolith” in the urinary tract. Inappropriate composition and feeding methods can cause nutritional imbalances in the cat's body, which can affect the acidity level (pH) of urine, urine volume and urine concentration which can cause the formation of excessive minerals in the urine. The aim of writing this article is to provide information regarding the treatment of crystal urolithiasis in local cats. A male cat named Goblin, has been castrated, has colored hair orange with body weight 5.3 kg, experiencing difficulty urinating since 3 weeks, excreting a small volume of urine, and blood in the urine. On physical examination the cat always curled up and felt pain when palpation was carried out abdominal part. The results of the cat's blood test showed leukocytosis, lymphocytosis, thrombocytopenia, and RDW CV increased and PCT decreased. The results of the cat's urinalysis showed presence of leukocytes +2, Protein +1, pH 8.0, specific gravity 1.030, Calcium +1, Microalbumin +1.Sediment test results also found the presence of deposits of magnesium ammonium phosphate crystal particles (struvite crystals).Results of urine culture examination bacteria were foundStaphylococcus sp. Ultrasound results showed enlargement of the left kidney and deposits of hyperechoic particles (crystals) accompanied by enlargement of the uterine sac. The cat was diagnosed with urolithiasis with a fausta prognosis. The cat was treated by installing a 4Fr/1.3x130mm urinary catheter and flushing using 0.9% physiological NaCl to make it easier for the cat to urinate. The therapy given is the antibiotic ciprofloxacin hcl 5 mg/kg BW s500 mg preparation with a dose of 50 mg/kg BW per oral (PO) administered 2 times a day for seven days, administering the anti-inflammatory dexamethasone 0.5 mg with a dose of 1 mg/kg BW PO and given 2 times a day for four days, and kejibeling herbal medicine 1 tablet times a day for seven days. Cats are also given feed therapy in the form of Royal Canin Urinary S/O for 3 months. Evaluation of the cat's condition improved after therapy for 7 days. There is a need to educate clients regarding cat care, feeding and drinking water. Therefore, the cat's feed in cases must be replaced by providing urinary therapy feed.

Published: April 2024

Objective: This work has as main objective to evaluate the usage of data from the Terra ASTER multispectral sensor, as well as data from Sentinel 2 MSI for the identification of hydrothermal alteration zones in the Uruguay Mine. Another objective of this work was to map a not-so-great scale deposit that present a hydrothermal pattern associated in a tropical country.
 
Method: Were applied principal component analysis and entropy analysis technique to the ASTER surface reflectance data and principal components only to the surface reflectance MSI data. The field spectra provided were obtained with the ASD FieldSpec-3 High-Resolution spectroradiometer. The samples collected contained spectral features characteristic of minerals such as ferric chlorite, hematite, goethite and illite (Phengite).
 
Result and Conclusion: The ASTER data resulted in a good radial highlighted pattern at the mine location indicating that the processing was able to map the target spectral patterns. The MSI data were processed to map the ferric minerals and presented a pattern highlighting the mine contours and slopes, demonstrating the possible occurrence of minerals containing the aimed spectral features. The entropy usage as an intensity factor applied to intensity-hue-saturation (IHS) fusion on ASTER data improved the reliability of the results, by highlighting the pixels with deepest absorbance features, reducing the uncertainty associated with the process. The results were considered good since both processes showed correspondence in the location of the mine.
 
Implication of the research: This work contributes for the understanding of spectroscopy analysis of alteration minerals related to copper mineralization, and techniques of remote sensing to map them.
 
Originality/value: Good results of the application of principal component analysis in the studied area and application of entropy concept in spectral analysis.
Terson Syndrome Diagnosed by Ocular Point of Care Ultrasound on the Medical Floor
Authors: Johnson Mark
Published: April 2024

In acute care environments, accurately assessing complications of intracranial pathology can be challenging. Ocular complications in acute intracranial disease are not consistently evaluated despite their high morbidity. We report on a case of monocular diplopia in a 63-year-old man with traumatic brain injury with localized hemorrhage. Ocular point of care ultrasound (POCUS) identified features of vitreous hemorrhage in one globe, leading to a diagnosis of syndrome and a timely referral to ophthalmology. This finding was made on the medical floor days after the initial presentation during rehabilitation when was not possible, and vitreous hemorrhage had not been identified on presentation. syndrome is a seldom discussed but important complication of intracranial hemorrhage generally associated with poor patient outcomes. Ocular POCUS can provide a useful alternative in assessing ocular complications of acute intracranial disease on the medical floor, particularly when the practicalities of performing are challenged.

Rarely, testicular torsion may present with intact blood flow. Here, we present a case series of four children with testicular torsion confirmed intraoperatively, who had intact blood flow on POCUS. Markers of testicular torsion can include surrounding hydrocele, heterogenous echotexture, absent venous or high resistance arterial flow, or a torsed cord complex. POCUS practitioners should be familiar with these findings, and the presence of any one or more of these findings should prompt urgent urology consultation to avoid missed torsion.

Developing models for preclinical examinations to avoid using animals has been increasing worldwide. Besides creating cell lines or tissues specialized for in vitro testing, biological wastes are also utilized as a potential tissue source for ex vivo examinations. In particular, the human skin from plastic surgery can be an ideal source of skin models to evaluate the effectiveness of some biological products with the advantage of possessing a natural finished skin structure. However, to maintain skin viability under laboratory conditions, it is necessary to establish ex vivo skin tissue nurturing conditions. Therefore, we tested conditions for culturing skin tissue outside the body using the air-liquid interface tissue culture method and Wharton's Jelly (WJ) from the umbilical cords and nutrient medium. The results showed that the skin tissue could maintain and survive in the air-liquid interface tissue culture conditions. Results from observations showed that the size and color of skin tissues were consistent until ten days and 15 days, when skin tissues were maintained in the nutrient media or nutrient media combined with WJ, respectively. Additionally, the histological analysis indicated that cultured skin tissues could maintain their normal structure of three epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis layers; the epidermis started to separate from the dermis after ten days or 15 days, depending on whether skin tissues were maintained in nutrient media only or nutrient media combined with WJ, respectively. Moreover, hair follicles, melanocytes, and keratinocytes were observed at their right location and typical structure. These results indicated that skin could survive in a nutrient medium for ten days, particularly prolonged over 15 days in a combination of nutrient medium and WJ. These results indicated the potential to maintain skin tissue ex vivo and use it for different tests under laboratory conditions.

نشأت حركة العامل التونسي على أثر تفكك حركة آفاق في تونس بعد محاكمات عام 1969 وزج كافة أعضاء حركة آفاق في السجن فكانت مرحلة السجن لأعضائها فرصة مناسبة للدراسة والتحاور وإعادة رسم سياسة الحركة المستقبلية لاسيما وأن من أسباب نهاية حركة آفاق، فضلاً عن مجابهة النظام التونسي لها بقوة هو بروز الخلافات بين أعضائها الذين كانوا مختلفين في إيديولوجيات، لذلك كانت تجربة السجن إيذاناً بولادة حركة جديدة نشأت من رحم حركة آفاق لتكون وريثتها الشرعية إلا أن أعضاء الحركة الجديدة اغلبهم من المؤسسين القدماء لم يتناسوا خلافاتهم السياسية واختلافاتهم الفكرية فبرزت تلك الخلافات على السطح لتزيد من تشرذم تلك الحركة التي كانت منذ بدايتها معلنة مناهضتها للنظام السياسي التونسي ونتيجة لكل ذلك لم تستطع حركة العامل التونسي من الصمود فأدى ذلك بالنهاية إلى تشرذمها وانهيارها.
