O processamento da mandioca, planta de origem dicotiledônea da família Eufhorbiaceae gênero Monihot e espécie esculenta Crantz, utilizada na produção de farinha D'água de forma artesanal, requer uma grande quantidade de água, especialmente nos processos de fermentação. Nesses processos são geradas quantidades consideráveis de resíduos altamente tóxicos. Esta iniciativa surgiu da necessidade de avaliar os impactos ambientais gerados pela produção de farinha d’água, em rios do povoado do Murutinga, no município de Abaetetuba, interior do Pará. Tendo como objetivo analisar as características físico químicas nos sistemas hídricos superficiais (igarapés) potencialmente utilizados para deposição da mandioca. Neste estudo foram realizadas análises dos parâmetros Acidez, pH, cor, turbidez e temperatura. Todas as análises foram conduzidas em triplicata. Os dados foram submetidos à análise de variância (ANOVA), teste de Tukey a nível de 5 % de significância, para comparação das médias. Os resultados demonstram haver variabilidade na qualidade da água que ocorre neste igarapé, o pH e a temperatura apresentam diferença estatística principalmente a montante. As avaliações da cor demonstram interferência significativa na etapa APFD (água após a fermentação e descascamento). Além disso, o aumento da turbidez na etapa APFD, reforça a grande liberação tanto do HCN, CN-, acetona, entre outras. Assim os dados obtidos requerem atenção, visto que a exposição crônica a baixas concentrações de HCN está relacionado com doenças que afetam os moradores.

Published: January 2024

The Government's concern for a micro-based economy has materialized through the provision of Ultra Micro (UMi) Financing to Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) by the Government Investment Center Public Service Agency or Badan Layanan Umum Pusat Investasi Pemerintah (BLU PIP). UMi financing, as part of program credit, aims to promote self-reliance among micro-businesses that are not facilitated by the banking sector. However, limited capital from the APBN can hinder the desirability of this credit program. In order to leverage UMi financing hence it can be benefitted by more MSMEs beyond the capabilities of the APBN, the Government should diversify the funding sources for micro-businesses, not solely relying on the State Budget (APBN) but also incorporating funds from other sources. To realize this objective, the Government, through BLU PIP, can securit of receivables of Ultra Micro Financing in the form of Collective Investment Credit for Asset-Backed Securities (CIC-ABS). The objective of this research is to propose a conceptual design of CIC-ABS of UMi and examine tax implication of CIC-ABS of UMi in Indonesia. The question in this research is how to create a conceptual CIC-ABS UMi that is suitable for implementation and what are the tax implications in Indonesia. The contribution of this research is that it is pioneering concept of asset leveraging of MSME credits through Collective Investment Credit for Asset-Backed Securities (CIC-ABS) and tax implication in the unique context of Indonesia. The methodology used in this research includes the conceptual design of securitization and qualitative description to analyze tax implication of securitization of UMi's financing in the form of CIC-ABS in Indonesia. The conclusion that can be drawn from this research is that the UMi CIC-ABS conceptual design is suitable for implementation in Indonesia and tax implications are CIC-ABS of UMi subject to Corporate Income Tax at 25%, Originator incurs Corporate Income Tax on profits from the transfer, ABS Holders face varying tax treatments based on ABS class, and CIC-ABS of UMi is exempt from Value Added Tax (VAT).

Authors: Ram Dr. C. Sunitha , Koushik D.J.V.S , Pavan H. Sree
Published: January 2024

Drowsiness detection is critical in many sectors, including transportation, healthcare, and workplace safety, since it may have a substantial influence on human performance and safety. Traditional sleepiness detection approaches are frequently subjective, time intensive, and unsuitable for real-time applications. In recent years, computer vision-based techniques that use eye-related characteristics to identify tiredness have shown promise. The eye aspect ratio, a geometric measure determined from ocular landmarks that indicates the openness or closure of the eyes, is one such trait. We present a sleepiness detection method in this research that blends eye aspect ratio computation with machine learning techniques to provide real-time and accurate drowsiness evaluation. We offer a thorough technique that includes calculating the eye-aspect ratio, extracting features, and classifying them with machine learning methods. The ability of our proposed technique is evaluated using a dataset of eye pictures acquired from individuals under various sleepiness situations. Our experimental findings show that our technique is successful in detecting sleepiness with good accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity. Our suggested method includes applications such as sleepy driving detection, tiredness monitoring in hospital settings, and workplace safety. This research advances the area of sleepiness detection by combining the ocular aspect ratio and machine learning to measure tiredness in real time.

A Study on Blackhole Thermodynamics
Authors: C M Anjana
Published: January 2024

This article embarks on a journey through the evolution of our under- standing of the cosmos, tracing the path from Newtonian gravity to the profound realms of General Theory of Relativity (GTR) and culminat- ing in the intriguing domain of black hole thermodynamics. Beginning with the classical foundation of Newtonian gravity, the limitations of this framework become apparent in extreme scenarios, prompting the need for a paradigm shift. Albert Einstein’s GTR revolutionizes our grasp of grav- ity, introducing the concept of spacetime curvature. This sets the stage for the revelation of black holes—intense gravitational sinks predicted by GTR—whose exploration unveils extraordinary phenomena. As we delve into black hole thermodynamics, Jacob Bekenstein’s entropy proposal and Stephen Hawking’s groundbreaking insights on Hawking radiation come to the forefront. Bridging the macroscopic and microscopic, black hole thermodynamics poses profound questions about the nature of informa- tion and entropy in the universe.

Authors: Naroz Mohamed Ibrahim
Published: January 2024

Background: Laparoscopic appendicectomy is one of the most common operations in surgical practice. It can be performed by open and laparoscopic methods. Laparoscopic appendicectomy have the advantage of less pain time and early return to work. The current work aimed to evaluate the safety, and effectiveness of intracorneal ligation versus extraction of the appendicular base during laparoscopic appendectomy.

Patients and methods: This clinical trial involved 40 patients with acute appendicitis. They were selected from the surgery department, Al-Azhar Faculty of Medicine, Damietta, Egypt.  They were scheduled for laparoscopic appendectomy and randomized to one of two groups; the first (A) for intracorporeal ligation of the based and the second (B) for hand assisted ligation of the stump. The collected data included operative time, postoperative outcome (duration of stay, back to usual oral feeding and postoperative complications (e.g., wound infection or leakage)).    

Results: Male patients were slightly predominating in both groups. The hand assisted ligation of appendicular stump had significantly shorter operative time (34.4±3.05 vs 42.95±8.21 minutes respectively).  However, there was no significant differences in both groups regarding post operative complication, except significant increase of port-site infection in hand assisted than the intracorporeal group (45.0% vs 10.0%) which was mild and treated conservatively. No leakage was reported in both groups.

Conclusion: Hand assisted ligation of appendicular base during laparoscopic appendicectomy is safe and effective method with shorter operative time. It encourages the surgeon to do more complex procedures

Bilateral Staged Ureteral Stenosis Secondary to Wegener s Disease A Case report
Authors:   Department of urology, CHU mongi Slim la Marsa,Tunis, Tunisie., Mejri Ramzi
Published: January 2024

Wegener's disease is a rare vasculitis characterized by inflammation of the endometrium of blood vessels. Ureteral stenosis is a rare manifestation of granulomatosis with polyangiitis (formerly known as Wegener's granulomatosis). We report the case of a 38-year-old woman with acute renal failure in which bilateral hydronephrosis due to staged ureteral stenosis was the second manifestation of the disease after necrotico-inflammatory skin lesions. Our patient had high titers of anti-proteinase 3 c-ANCA, but no upper or lower respiratory tract damage was demonstrated. Hydronephrosis and renal function improved rapidly under immunosuppressive therapy with high dose of corticosteroids. We reviewed the literature and found only ten other reported cases of Wegener's granulomatosis and intrinsic ureteral stenosis: in two cases the presenting clinical manifestation was unilateral hydronephrosis and in only three others bilateral hydronephrosis. All of these complications have developed on disease relapse except in one case where the first manifestation of vasculitis is bilateral ureteral stenosis. This case highlights the importance of including ANCA-related vasculitis in the differential diagnosis of unusual cases of unilateral or bilateral ureteral stenosis.

There is a constant need for new approaches and technologies to help with public health study participant recruitment, retainment, and interventions. For approximately 15 years, social media text and image/video platforms (e.g., Facebook, and more recently, Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok), have been increasingly used to assist with these issues in research. However, a new social media format based on audio interactions (i.e., social audio) is gaining popularity and may have advantages over traditional social media platforms. This paper explores how social audio might be used in public health interventions and how they differ from traditional text- and image/video-based social media platforms.
A profound DTH hypersensitivity reaction in a subject with suspected NSAID sensitivity given Celebrex
Authors:   Institute of Medical Sciences, University of Toronto, Canada., RM Gorczynski
Published: January 2024

We report on a 49-year old male with a long history of pelvic/back pain (previously treated surgically) who was maintained for > 5 years on NSAIDs/gabapentin for pain relief. A marked dermatologic reaction developed at ~5 years of ongoing NSAID treatment, with hematuria and profound anemia (Hgb declined from 140 to 70m in 6 months) along with an intermittently pustular rash. OGD and colonoscopy did not suggest a significant GI bleed. After a brief (3 week) drug holiday a COX-2 inhibiting NSAID was prescribed, but within 3d a marked DTH reaction developed, consistent with a T cell cross reactivity between NSAIDs, ceasing within 2d of discontinuation of drug.

Suicide refers to completely ending one's life. Attempting suicide is one of the most sensitive problems in Pakistani society. In the first chapter, I explained the term suicide in general, and later on I have demonstrated the causes and reasons behind committing or attempting suicide. The Research objective is to find out the demographic background of respondents, examine socioeconomic and psychological determinants, and suggest prevention of suicide. In the second chapter, I have provided a review of the literature. After studying various books, research papers, and newspaper articles, I was able to show the previous scholarship on the topic. In the third chapter, I have included the methodology. I used qualitative research methodology as my main method of research. Furthermore, I used an interview guide for data collection. In the fourth chapter, I analyzed the data by developing themes. Finally, at the end, I provided crucial recommendations for the alleviation of the problem.

Objective: We aimed to evaluate the relationship between serum perilipin-2 / adipophilin (PLIN-2 / ADRP) levels and clinical course in patients with Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD).

Methods: 80 ADPKD patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) G1-G4 status, among the patients who were regularly followed up in the nephrology outpatient clinic between 2012 and 2019, were included in the study. CKD-G5 patients were excluded from the study. Baseline PLIN-2/ADRP levels were measured. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to the median serum PLIN-2/ADRP level. During the follow-up period, data such as blood pressure, height-adjusted total kidney volume (HtTKV), proteinuria, complete blood count, and biochemical tests were recorded.

Results: In the patients with serum PLIN-2 / ADRP level above the median value (11.675 ng / mL), BMI was significantly higher than the other group (p
Testicular and scrotal abnormalities in pediatric and adult patients

Published: January 2024

Testicular and scrotal abnormalities can occur in children, adolescents, and adults. The lesions, often accompanied by pain and swelling/enlargement of the scrotum, can cause anxiety in patients and their parents. Regardless of age, proper diagnosis is based on adequate anamnesis and physical examination. Color Doppler ultrasound is the first-line test in the differential process of testicular and scrotal diseases. Testicular and scrotal lesions require differentiation for benign and malignant processes as well as therapeutic management, including urgent surgical intervention. The aim of this paper is to present the most common causes of testicular and scrotal abnormalities in pediatric and adult patients and to outline the symptoms and diagnostic and therapeutic management.
Peritoneal and Systemic Interleukin-10 as Early Biomarkers for Colorectal Anastomotic Leakage Following Surgery in Colorectal Cancer Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Authors: Villegas-Coronado Lucía , Villegas-Coronado Karla , Villegas Coronado Diana
Published: January 2024

Introduction: Despite advancements in diagnostic methods, the early detection of colorectal anastomotic leakage (CAL) continues to pose challenges. The identification of reliable markers is crucial to reduce patient morbidity and mortality. Cytokines present in drain fluid and systemic cytokine levels have shown promise as predictive markers for CAL; however, additional high-quality evidence is warranted to enhance the reliability and validity of the findings in this field.

Aim: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the significance of peritoneal and serum/plasma interleukin-10 (IL-10) levels in the early detection of CAL in patients undergoing colorectal surgery for colorectal cancer.

Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases, covering studies published until July 2023. The search aimed to identify relevant studies investigating the levels of plasma/serum and peritoneal IL-10 (or both) in colorectal cancer patients undergoing colorectal surgery, specifically focusing on the presence of CAL. Data on the mean and standard deviation of IL-10 levels in both CAL and non-CAL patients were extracted from the selected studies. Mean differences in IL-10 levels were analyzed for each postoperative day (POD) using the OpenMeta [analyst] software.

Results: 11 articles were selected for inclusion in this systematic review. Among them, nine articles reported data on peritoneal IL-10 levels, while four articles focused on circulating IL-10 levels. The statistical analysis included four eligible articles that assessed peritoneal IL-10 levels, and the results indicated no significant increase in CAL patients compared to non-CAL patients on any postoperative day (POD). Meta-analysis for circulating IL-10 levels was not feasible.

Conclusions: Up to now, peritoneal and systemic IL-10 levels cannot be considered as early markers for CAL after colorectal surgery in colorectal cancer patients. More high-quality studies are needed to establish the potential of IL-10 as a reliable marker for detecting anastomotic leakage after colorectal surgery.
