Infertility Due to Obesity in Women: Endocrine Pathways
Authors: Afruz Lubna Murshida , Bilkish Umme Sayeeda
Published: February 2025

Infertility is a significant global health issue, with a negative impact on people's wellbeing and human rights. Despite the longstanding association between obesity and infertility, there remains uncertainty, about the precise mechanisms underpinning this association and best management strategies. In this article, we aimed to address these uncertainties by reviewing the recent literatures. We found that, obese women undergo perturbations of the ‘hypothalamic pituitary ovarian axis’, and frequently suffer of menstrual dysfunction leading to anovulation and infertility. Besides the hormone disorders and subfertility that are common in the polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), in obesity the adipocytes act as endocrine organ. The adipose tissue indeed, releases a number of bioactive molecules, namely adipokines that variably interact with multiple molecular pathways of insulin resistance, inflammation, hypertension, cardiovascular risk, coagulation, and oocyte differentiation and maturation.

A Case Report of a 10-Month-Old Child Diagnosed with Tricuspid Valve Atresia
Authors: Rabbani Golam Mahfuz
Published: February 2025

Introduction: Tricuspid atresia (TA), a cyanotic form of congenital heart disease, is the absence of real or potential joining of the right atrium and right ventricle. This total absence of the right atrioventricular junction is typically caused by the regular position of the tricuspid valve, which forms a dimple close to the right atrium's floor exactly over the right ventricle. Case history: A 10-month-old male patient came to us with complaints of fever and respiratory distress. His oxygen saturation in room air was 76% with a heart rate of 130 and body temperature of 101 F. At first, he was diagnosed with pneumonia by a pediatrician. Then he came to me after not receiving any response from treatment. On examination I founded rhonchi and systolic murmur. So, our initial assessment involved taking CBC, x-ray and echocardiography of the patient's chest. The data from his echocardiography reveals that he has a tricuspid valve atresia. Conclusion: We decided to continue the conservative treatment for TVA with pneumonia (Paracetamol sos, Agoxin, Vitamin B complex for 6 months, and injectable antibiotic for 10 days) that started on him. After 11 months, the patient returned to us with RTI again. We treated his RTI with antibiotics. At the follow-up of the 12th month, his symptoms showed improvement.

Published: February 2025

Online businesses continue to experience rapid development along with digital transformation that drives efficiency and competitiveness. However, one of the main challenges faced is the uncertainty in predicting sales, which can cause an imbalance between demand and stock. The inaccuracy of this prediction often results in overstock or understock, thus increasing operational costs and decreasing customer satisfaction levels. This study aims to analyze the effect of implementing Machine Learning (ML) algorithms on the accuracy of sales predictions and the efficiency of stock management in online businesses. Historical sales data collected from e-commerce platforms were processed using Random Forest and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) algorithms. The results showed that the ML algorithm was able to increase the accuracy of sales predictions by up to 20% compared to traditional methods. In addition, the implementation of ML-based predictions allows for more efficient stock management with a decrease in the level of overstock by 15% and a reduction in the risk of understock by up to 25%. These findings not only strengthen the literature related to the role of intelligent technology in digital business management but also offer practical guidance for online business actors to improve their operations through Machine Learning technology. Thus, this study makes an important contribution to digital transformation strategies in a competitive online business ecosystem.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh tingkat kematangan terhadap karakteristik kualitas tomat, meliputi warna, kekerasan, dan kandungan total padatan terlarut (TPT). Penelitian dilakukan pada tiga tingkat kematangan tomat: matang hijau (M1), matang oranye (M2), dan matang merah (M3). Parameter yang diamati mencakup kekerasan, warna (koordinat L*, a*, b*), dan TPT (°Brix). Analisis data dilakukan dengan rancangan acak lengkap (RAL) dan uji lanjut Duncan pada taraf nyata 5%. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tingkat kematangan berpengaruh signifikan terhadap kekerasan dan parameter warna (L*, a*), namun tidak memengaruhi nilai TPT dan parameter warna b*. Kekerasan tomat menurun seiring peningkatan kematangan, dengan M1 memiliki kekerasan tertinggi (2,80±0,21 kgf) dibandingkan M2 (1,92±0,20 kgf) dan M3 (1,81±0,08 kgf). Nilai L* menurun dari M1 (53,10±1,32) ke M3 (43,29±1,29), sedangkan nilai a* meningkat dari M1 (-9,87±0,66) ke M3 (20,36±6,13), mencerminkan pergeseran warna dari hijau ke merah. TPT tertinggi ditemukan pada M3 (4,73±0,32 °Brix), namun perbedaannya tidak signifikan secara statistik. Penurunan kekerasan dan perubahan warna disebabkan oleh degradasi klorofil, sintesis pigmen likopen, dan aktivitas enzim seperti pektin esterase. Hasil ini mengindikasikan bahwa tingkat kematangan memengaruhi kualitas fisik dan penampilan tomat, dengan implikasi pada pemilihan tahap panen untuk kebutuhan pasar dan penyimpanan

Published: February 2025

This study aimed to establish a rat model of chronic wounds to observe the effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) on chronic wound repair and pyroptosis and explore the potential role of pyroptosis in the pathogenesis of chronic wounds. Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into acute wound group (control group), chronic wound group (model group), chronic wound + HBO treatment group (HBO group), and chronic wound + VX-765 (IL-converting enzyme/Caspase-1 inhibitor) treatment group (VX-765 group). After 7 days of respective interventions, the wound healing status was observed, and wound tissue specimens were collected. Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining was used to observe the pathological changes in wound tissues. Transmission electron microscopy was used to observe the changes in cellular ultrastructure. Immunofluorescence was used to observe the expression and localization of vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) and the N-terminal domain of gasdermin D (GSDMD-N). Western blot was conducted to detect the expression of nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3), cysteine-requiring aspartate protease-1 (Caspase-1), VEGF-A, and GSDMD-N proteins in wound tissues. Real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expression of NLRP3, Caspase-1, and GSDMD genes. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was performed to observe the expression of the inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) and IL-18. The results showed that the HBO group had a faster wound healing rate and better pathology improvement compared to the model group. The expression level of VEGF-A was higher in the HBO group compared to the model group, while the expression levels of NLRP3, Caspase-1, GSDMD, IL-1β, and IL-18 were lower than those in the model group. HBO can effectively promote the healing of chronic wounds, and the regulation of pyroptosis may be one of its mechanisms of action.

Azadirachta indica, a widely planted plant in southern Vietnam, is used in traditional medicine for its anti-cancer, antibacterial, and diabetes-fighting properties. However, there are few studies on using rutin as a marker in A. indica. This study aimed to evaluate the alpha-glucosidase enzyme inhibitory activity of the extract for diabetes treatment. The extract was optimized using ultrasound-assisted extraction and quantified using HPLC/PDA. The HPLC/DAD method was developed to determine rutin in A. indica leaf using a Phenomenex C18 column. The extraction efficiency was evaluated by the peak area of rutin in the extract sample. The methanol extract was selected as the extraction solvent due to its strong alpha-glucosidase enzyme inhibitory activity. The optimal extraction process involved methanol extraction with a volume of 30 mL, an ultrasound time of 30 minutes, an extraction temperature of 50 °C, and extraction three times. The rutin content in the extract was 5.53 mg/g.

The present farming systems of the world are under pressure to meet multiple demands, and it is clear that addressing these challenges requires a collective effort. This includes supporting the livelihoods of smallholder farmers, conserving biodiversity, offsetting emissions, and adapting to climate change to feed the ever-growing population. In the coming decades, agricultural systems must address significant challenges to produce sustainable bio-energy, adapt and mitigate global climate change, improve water quality and availability, ensure food security, and enhance resource use efficiency and ecosystem services. However, conventional agricultural practices have resulted in loss of diversity, soil degradation, atmospheric emissions of greenhouse gases, and water quality problems. On a more positive note, organic bio-intensive and agro-ecological farming systems offer a beacon of hope, supporting more significant natural resource conservation, improved rural livelihoods, greater diversity of farm income and farm-sector stability, and national security interests. In this context, the principles of conversion of conventional farming systems to these promising organic bio-intensive and agro-ecological farming systems, including the distinct transition periods and their roles toward sustainable and resilient food systems, were analyzed and contrasted.
