Published: October 2023

Beetroot pickles are a relatively new vegetable gaining market share in Bangladesh. It is a naturally growing root vegetable known for its health benefits due to its phytochemicals and bioactive compounds. Beetroot (beta vagaries) has been shown to improve clinical and physiological conditions and promotes good health. And has become a potential functional food that can prevent disease. One of its compounds, bataline, has shown chemo preventive, sedative, and disease-preventive activity. There is a fundamental difference between the newly developed pickled beet sample and the commercial one. The sample developed was 11.50 Brix, 55.5 mg (%) Vitamin C, 27.5% Moisture, 3.25% Dietary Fiber, 37.3 % Carbohydrate, 1.25% Protein, 2.7% Ash, 28%, 195 mg (%) Bataline, pH 4. Microbiological analysis of samples after 270 days showed 5/g colony forming units (cfu), with an overall acceptance of 70% among trained panelists after 270 days of storage. Vitamin C and added salt prevent oxidative degradation and extend the shelf life of pickled beets.

Published: October 2023

Human respiratory syncytial virus (hRSV) is the leading pediatric respiratory pathogen with high morbidity in the first year of life. The morbidity is particularly high in developing countries. it is the most common cause of infant hospitalization and causes a high burden of disease in the elderly. India is a country with vast geographical differences their unique climatic conditions. So, the prevalence of human RSV in different geographical regions is partially understood for a long time.  This review was performed by using a different search engine like Google schooler, PubMed, etc. Significant prevalence and specific RSV virus strain circulation were major keywords used for the search in the Indian pediatric population. Annual incidence rates of RSV–associated hospitalization per 1000 children were highest among infants aged 0–5 months, followed by ages 6–23 months, and lowest among children 24–59 months. hRSV was a substantial cause of hospitalization among children aged < 24 months especially those aged <6 months. Prevalence varies from 2.1% to 44% in different geographical regions. hRSV has a more broadly distributed peak timing. numerous studies of the correlation between climatic factors and hRSV incidence across latitudes found variable and inconsistent correlations between hRSV incidence & temperature, and relative humidity in different parts of the tropical region.However, genotypes ON1, NA1, GA5, and GA2 in the hRSV-A group and group hRSV-B BA, BA9, and BA12 were predominantly circulated in India.

Published: October 2023

Belontia hasselti have not been widely cultivated and still depend on catching from nature. Community needs require the cultivation of B. hasselti that are still wild to satisfy their needs. Things that need to be considered in the acclimatization process for the domestication process are stocking density and the right cultivation technology system to support the survival rate of the B. hasselti. This study aimed to determine the best stocking density during the domestication process of B. hasselti using zeolite filter media in a recirculation system. This study used a completely randomized design with five treatments and three replications. The treatments given differences in stocking density were 1 (P1), 2 (P2), 3 (P3), 4 (P4), and 5 (P5) fish L-1. The results of this study showed that the best stocking density was in P1 (1 fish L-1) tail resulted in 91% survival rate, absolute weight growth at 3.17 g, absolute length growth at 0.18 cm, and feed efficiency at 16.91%. The water quality during the study was still within the tolerance limits for B. hasselti, i.e. temperature 27.4-27.6oC, pH 6.1-7.8, dissolved oxygen 5.4-5.5 mg L-1, and ammonia 0.06-0.1 mg L-1.

Authors: KUMAR SUNIL , SINGH VARTIKA , SAROHA JITENDER
Published: October 2023

The accurate measurement of geomorphometric parameters is crucial for assessing the condition of watersheds, particularly in mountain ecosystems and extensive areas where it can be challenging to obtain precise measurements. In this study, drainage density was used to evaluate soil erosion in the Sarbari Khad watershed located in the lesser Himalayan region of Himachal Pradesh, India, using Geographical Information System (GIS) and remotely sensed digital data. The analysis of drainage density indicated that the Sarbari Khad watershed is susceptible to surface erosion and soil degradation. The watershed was classified into low, moderate, severe, and very severe erosion categories based on the drainage density values, which revealed that about 60 percent of the area suffers from very severe erosion. The findings of this study suggest that drainage density can be used as an effective indicator for estimating erosion status of watersheds. This information can be used to prioritize watershed areas for soil and water conservation measures, which are critical for ensuring the sustainability of the watershed. Overall, this research work highlights the significance of using GIS and remotely sensed data along with direct survey-based topographical maps for assessing soil erosion in mountain ecosystems and extensive areas. The results of this study can be used to guide conservation efforts and inform policy decisions aimed at mitigating the negative impacts of soil erosion on the environment and local communities.
Estimation of Bali Cattle Body Weight Based on Morphological Measurements by Machine Learning Algorithms: Random Forest, Support Vector, K-Neighbors, and Extra Tree Regression
Authors: Sarini Ni Putu , Dharmawan Komang
Published: October 2023

In order to forecast and model the weight of cattle a number of techniques have been used. Nonetheless, no machine algorithm has been utilized to estimate the weight of Bali cattle. This article examines the use of machine learning regression to create models for Bali cattle's body weight prediction. The response variables consist of body weight as the dependent variable and  body length, girth circumference, height at wither of 228 male and 211 female cattle of similar ages (285 days). The descriptive statistics of female Bali cattle in our investigation revealed that the morphological measurements were similar to those documented by other researchers. To predict body weight on the basis of different characteristics, machine learning models such as Random Forest, Support Vector, K-Neighbors, and Extra Tree regressions have been used. Additionally, linear regression was utilized to estimate the body weight for comparison with the traditional approach. The assessment standards used included the determination coefficient, the root mean square error, the average absolute error, and the average absolute percentage error as measures of evaluation efficiency. We found that Linear Regression performs the best among all the regressors for female cattle. Similarly for male, it is about the same as extra tree regression. The machine learning algorithm (MLA) was discovered to furnish more precise estimate of the weight of the body cattle, surpassing the conventional algorithm.

Authors: Deshmukh Renuka , Adhav Dr. Sunil , Oak Dr Adwait , Patil Dr. Ameya Anil
Published: October 2023

Purpose

Environmental protection has become a national issues as well as international issue in recent years. Creating a sustainable development must be implemented as a reactive plan. A society's health could suffer as a result of rising air pollution brought on by increased energy use. The main goal of this study is to examine the relationship between energy consumption and health problems (such as tracheal, bronchial, and lung cancer, respiratory diseases, the prevalence of undernourishment, and the death ratio due to exposure to both outdoor and household air pollution) for data from 18 Asian countries between 2000 and 2022.

 

Methodology

In a panel-gravity framework for analysing energy consumption, environmental pollution, and health problems among the 20 Asia-based developing countries that were chosen, the generalised method of moments (GMM) is used.

 

Findings

CO2 emissions are observed to have a favourable impact on lung and respiratory illness prevalence in developing Asian countries. The results show that the risk of lung and respiratory disorders is increased by the consumption of fossil fuels. The findings also show how significantly CO2 emissions and fossil fuel use affect the rate of undernourishment and mortality. Additionally, we find that health care spending and gross domestic product per capita may contribute to a decrease in the ratio of deaths and undernourishment. In order to boost developing Asian nations' national health security, the study suggests implementing quick energy transition programmes, enhancing energy efficiency, and lowering energy intensity.

 

Originality:

There are tremendous studies on energy consumption and use of sustainable solutions for reducing health impacts including the constructs of GMM but in the times of Covid-19, where it has become mandatory for all nations to use sustainable solutions to attain SDGs for survival of the green planet. The study is original and is an attempt to understand developing nations’ perspective towards usage of sustainable technologies and its effectiveness in creating sustainable environment. Sustainable solutions to overcome the environmental problems are put forth in the research paper.

Authors: Ramudu Kurva Raghu , J.L. Rathod
Published: October 2023

The study showed the morphological identification, prevalence, and severity of the infestation of parasites in R. kanagurta from the Karwar coast, month-wise from January to December 2022. The current study investigated and found Norileca indica and Nerocila phaiopleura Trichodina spp., and developmental stages of helminths in R. kanagurta during this period. A total of 755 fish were examined, and the monthly prevalence was estimated. Statistical analysis revealed that the P value is lesser than the significant value (P<0.05, df=3), which indicates there are significant differences in PFI (% prevalence) values of each group/among the parasites (N. indica, N. phaiopleura, Helmenth, Trichodina spp.) and also there is a significant difference of prevalence in monthly (P<0.05,df=11). Weather changes like temperature, salinity, flood water, pollutants, ballast water, and sudden rainfall all play a key role in the infestation of parasites in the selected fish. Availability of the host (R. kanagurta), breeding season, and ban period (west coast) were also important factors causing the parasitic infestation.  In conclusion, Norileca indica and Nerocila phaiopleura, Trichodina spp., Isopods, and developmental stages of helminth parasites were causing histological alterations in the infected tissues.

Published: October 2023

In order to evaluate hepatoprotective function, both in vitro and in vivo liver or hepatoprotective models have been constructed in the past. These methods examine a drug's potential to prevent or minimize liver damage in test animals. To express their effectiveness and safety in humans, new drugs must first travel through a number of developmental phases, beginning with the identification of their pharmacological characteristics in cellular and animal models. In the medical literature, there are many methods for measuring hepatoprotective efficacy in vivo and in vitro.  Fresh hepatocytes are exposed to hepatotoxin treatment in in vitro models, and the effects of the test chemical on those cells are examined. To elicit liver damage in test animals, dangerous dosages of an identified hepatotoxin are administered in in vivo models. The test material is provided before, after, and simultaneously with the toxin treatment. Hepatitis in Long Evans and other chemical agents are commonly exploited to generate hepatotoxicity in experimental animals for the evaluation of hepatoprotective medications. Cinnamon rats, liver cirrhosis and necrosis, hepatic fibrosis brought on by carbon tetrachloride in rats, liver cirrhosis brought on by galactosamine, inhibition of proline hydroxylation, trans-heptic investigations model in dogs, etc. The many forms of in vivo and in vitro hepatoprotective screening models are explained in this article.

Authors: Esram Poornima , Arumugam Premkumar
Published: October 2023

TMPRSS4, a member of the transmembrane serine protease (TTSP) family, has earned significant attention due to its pronounced overexpression in various carcinoma types, involvement in disease processes, and viral entry.  However, despite its pivotal role in disease biology, little is known about its structural characteristics and potential drug targets. Accurate measurement of TMPRSS4 activity is crucial for understanding its role in these disease processes and for developing potential therapeutic interventions. In this context, we have expressed and purified TMPRSS4 protein and report the development of an enzymatic assay for the quantitative measurement of TMPRSS4 activity.  The assay is based on a synthetic fluorogenic peptide substrate that mimics the natural cleavage site of TMPRSS4/serine proteases substrates. The Assay development workflow includes enzyme preparation, optimization of assay materials, reagents, and conditions.  The assay is further validated using a known serine protease inhibitor, Aprotinin. Our results demonstrate that the developed enzymatic assay exhibits a wide dynamic range and successfully applied the assay to assess molecular inhibitors predicted by our computational studies. In conclusion, our study presents a robust enzymatic assay for TMPRSS4 activity that provides researchers and clinicians with a valuable tool for studying this protease's function and potential clinical applications.

Published: October 2023

In this article, we've covered the ENT surgery methods and techniques that Acharya Sushruta detailed in his famous book, the Sushruta Samhita. The founder of the Sushruta Samhita, Acharya Sushruta, is hailed as the "Father of Surgery" and "Father of Plastic Surgery." An essential component of Ayurveda is Shalakya Tantra, which focuses on the analysis and treatment of conditions affecting the mouth, nose, ears, teeth, throat, head, and eyes. Shalakya Tantra is described as "Shalakayah Yatkarma Shalakyam, Tat Pradhanam Tantram Shalakyam" by Acharya Dalhana. It denotes a location where Shalakas (instruments resembling rods) are utilised for therapeutic purposes. The Shalakya Tantra branch of Ayurveda deals with these instruments and how to employ them for therapeutic purposes. It can be found in numerous Ayurvedic treatises today. Sushruta Samhita contains the majority of the Shalakya Tantra, but it is also found here in fragmented form. Detailed discussions of surgical tools (yantras), various incision kinds, various suturing and bandaging techniques (bandha), fracture reductions, foreign body extraction techniques, etc. are contained in the Sushruta Samhita (about 600 BC). He also brought up the utilisation of reconstructive (Sandhana) surgery by Vaidyas even during the colonial era. Acharya gave a comprehensive explanation of ENT surgery procedures that are largely applicable and actual. Acharya Sushruta noticed that a number of fractures and dislocations connected to ENT can be treated. Today, many of the foreign body removal techniques he described are virtually same to those utilised then. Many conventional surgical techniques are still useful today.These interventions can be a tremendous help in learning new and cutting-edge practises with the help of contemporary advances. Our simple goal in writing this paper is to shed light on all the Shalakya Tantra subjects that are mentioned throughout Sushruta in various places.

The aim of this study was to compare the post-operation analgesic effects of patient-controlled epidural analgesia and patient-controlled intravenous analgesia for patients who were undergoing esophageal cancer surgery. This was a randomized clinical trial. 80 patients undergone esophagostomy were randomly divided into two groups: 40 patients in the epidural PCA and 40 patients in the intravenous PCA group were evaluated. Post-operation pain score was assessed using the universal pain assessment tool (UPAT) in both groups at 24 and 48 hours after surgery. Secondary outcomes included AKI, MI, CVA, pulmonary complications, ICU stay and three months survival. Mean pain scores were similar in the two groups (P>0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups for rescue treatment, three months’ survival, CVA, MI and AKI. However, ICU stay (P=0.008) and pulmonary complications (P=0.05) were greater in PCIA group. The results indicate that none of the PCEA and PCIA methods have any superiority in terms of pain control and the incidence of analgesic-related side effect complications after surgery in patients undergoing esophagostomy and confirm sufficient analgesia by both.

In order to decrease medical errors and improve organized, targeted education pre- and post-graduation, we intended to detect 10 most important concepts that neuro-otologists believe family physicians and general practitioners must know. A multi-center study based on Delphi’s method was designed and conducted in three stages. Of 31 topics gathered by expert panel, 10 top priorities were ranked based on 50 neuro-otologists’ opinion over the country. Early diagnosis and management of sudden sensorineural hearing loss, foreign body removal from external ear canal, proper management of otitis extern, and management of emergency situations in chronic otitis media gained the highest scores among all. Also, some topics, such as managing serous and acute otitis media, differentiating peripheral vs. central vertigos, and early hearing screening at birth were among top topics, contrary to others, such as surgery in only hearing ears, or hearing losses after COM surgeries. Almost all of the top-ranked topics are among critical/organ saving, or most prevalent medical concerns in all of the world. Sudden deafness, complicated COM, and mis-diagnosing vertigo may be organ/life threatening, while foreign bodies or inflammations of external ear, acute or serous otitis media, and congenital hearing loss are among the most prevalent medical problems worldwide, with numerous malpractices in their diagnosis and management. Regarding educational and practical priorities should be considered a basic step in neurotology field, and targeted programming policies.

Authors: Sabba E. , Boudida Y. , Boudjellal A.
Published: October 2023

Background: Few studies have been published about the quality of freshwater fish in Algeria. This study determined the chemical composition and the fatty acid of six species of freshwater fish cultivated in the North region of Algeria (Nile tilapia, red tilapia, common carp, Algerian barb, crucian carp, and mirror carp) as well as the nutritional quality of the lipids in these freshwater fish species.
Methods: One hundred and ten freshwater fish were randomly caught in the spring of 2021 from Achor Ali farm (Jijel), Beni-Haroun Dam (Mila), and EL-Agrem Dam (Jijel) from Algeria. Moisture, ash, protein, lipid, and fatty acids were measured according to standard laboratory procedures and protocols of previous studies. Statistical analysis was performed using ANOVA (XLSTAT 2014), and the pair wise comparison of the means was done by Tukeys test at the 5% significance level (p<0.05).
Results: Regarding freshwater fish species, fatty acid profiles were discovered to have 38.94 to 57.75% Saturated Fatty Acids (SFAs), 29.35 to 46.63% Monounsaturated Fatty Acids (MUFAs), and 6.79 to 26.55% Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFAs). Common carp was a rich resource of Eicosapentaenoic Acid and Docosahexaenoic Acid (EPA+DHA) (5.38%); the highest concentration of ω-3 was recorded in crusian carp (10.63%); and Nile tilapia contained significant levels of ω-6 PUFA. Results demonstrated that the examined freshwater fish species appeared to have a good nutritional value and be a source of important fatty acids with positive effects on consumer health. On the other hand, results revealed low levels of PUFAs.
Conclusion: The examined freshwater fish species appeared to have a good nutritional value, but, it is important to provide diets rich in fatty acids, in particular PUFAs, to these freshwater fish to improve the nutritional quality of their lipids.
Toxic Analysis of Leaf Protein Concentrate Regarding Common Agricultural Residues
Authors: Meyer T.K. , Tieman R.J. , Breuer S.W. , Denkenberger D. , Pearce J.M.
Published: October 2023

Background: Potential resilient foods which help reduce hunger are converting the ~998 million tons of agricultural residue generated each year into human edible food. Although it is possible to extract Leaf Protein Concentrate (LPC) from agricultural residues, it is not widely practiced because both toxicity and yields of the protein concentrates have not been widely investigated in the most common agricultural residues.Methods: To fill this knowledge gap, this study uses high-resolution mass spectrometry and an open-source toolchain for non-targeted screening of toxins of nine agricultural plant residues in October 2021; it included seven agricultural residues: corn/maize, wheat, barley, alfalfa, yellow pea, sunflower, canola/rapeseed, and two weeds/agricultural residues of kochia, and round leaf mallow.Results: The average yield ranged from about 7 to 14.5% for the nine LPCs investigated. According to the results, yellow pea, round leaf mallow, and canola are recommended for further investigation and scaling as they appear to be fit for human consumption based on the lack of dangerous toxins found in the analysis performed in this study.Conclusion: All the compounds identified in these samples have either been approved by international regulatory boards for safe consumption or are known to be present in common beverages. The other agricultural residues require additional quantification of the toxins identified as it will determine the actual risk for human consumption. Overall, the potential for LPC to provide more needed calories from existing agricultural practices is extremely promising, but substantial amount of future work is needed to screen LPCs in all the agricultural residues depending on harvesting, handling, and storage conditions.

Background: Oil droplets from foods can cause the formation of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in smoke and contaminate grilled food. The aim of this research was to examine the effect of the number of carbon atoms, degree of double bonds, and types of fatty acids on the formation of PAHs in smoke during grilling process.
Methods: Four fatty acids consisting of palmitic acid, stearic acid, linoleic acid, and oleic acid, and three animal oils consisting of chicken skin oil, beef oil, and striped catfish oil had been studied. The smoke obtained during the combustion of fatty acids and animal oils was collected in a PUF/XAD-2/PUF absorption tube, and the analysis of 16 major PAHs was done using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectroscopy (GC-MS). The experiments were conducted in three replicates.
Results: Linoleic acid and oleic acid generated relatively higher concentrations of PAHs in the smoke, at 48.53 and 46.81 ppm, while stearic acid and palmitic acid provided PAHs in the smoke at 6.15 and 3.87 ppm. The rank of the highest PAH concentration levels in order of decreasing in smoke included striped catfish oil, chicken skin oil, and beef loin oil, with values of 50.22, 35.07, and 33.62 ppm, respectively. A variety of fatty acids were found in animal oils, but some fatty acids, such as arachidic acid (20:0), mead acid (20:3), behenic acid (22:0), erucic acid (22:1), cervonic acid (DHA) (22:6), lignoceric acid (24:0), and nervonic acid (24:1), were not found in chicken skin oil or beef oil. Fatty acids in the striped catfish oil had longer carbon chains (20:0, 20:3, 22:0, 22:1, 22:6, 24:0, 24:1) compared to other animal oils and a higher degree of double bonds, thus giving a higher PAHs concentration.
Conclusion: It can be concluded that PAH concentration present in the smoke of animal oils depends on the number of carbon atoms, the degree of double bonds in the molecules, and the types of fatty acids.
A Case Report: Atrioventricular Block Secondary to Ruptured Sinus of Valsalva Aneurysm in A 12-Year-Old
Authors: Abdelbaki M. , Touati M.
Published: October 2023

Ruptured aortic sinus of Valsalva aneurysm is a rare cardiac anomaly that can lead to life-threatening complications. We present a case of a 12-year-old girl with complete heart block, who presented with these symptoms and was diagnosed with a ruptured aortic sinus of Valsalva aneurysm dissecting into the interventricular septum, with probable compression of the conduction system. Echocardiography and AngioTDM confirmed the diagnosis, and the anomaly was successfully managed percutaneously by closing the orifice of communication using a ventricular septal defect (VSD) muscular occluder. Follow-up examinations showed no flow inside the aneurysm, indicating a successful closure procedure. This case highlights the importance of early diagnosis and prompt intervention in managing ruptured aortic sinus of Valsalva aneurysm in pediatric patients.
