Ivermectin Versus Selamectin and Fipronil as Ectoparasite Treatment in Cats and Dogs: A Literature Review
Authors: Hermawan Intan , Desiandura Kurnia , Wardhani Hana Cipka Pramuda
Published: May 2024

Ectoparasite is commonly found on the skin and can cause dermatological problems. In veterinary practices, ivermectin, selamectin, and fipronil are commonly used to treat ectoparasitosis. This article aims to deeply examines the indications and contraindications of ivermectin, selamectin and fipronil. Ectoparasites are commonly found in cats and dogs and make up a large percentage of cases compared to other diseases. Therefore, it is important to have an understanding of the drugs that are effective against ectoparasites. In the past, ivermectin was a popular antiparasitic drug due to its high efficacy. However, its safety is not directly proportional its efficacy. Ivermectin has adverse effects, as evidenced by numerous case reports of overdose, intoxication, and interference with certain organ functions. In the field of pharmacology, many new drugs have been developed with the expectation of improved efficacy and safety. Two examples of such drugs are selamectin and fipronil. This article allows veterinarians and other readers to compare the safety and efficacy of these drugs before administering them to their patients.
Universalismo, ou a fabricação da música de concerto: uma história brasileira de apropriação cultural, propaganda política e desigualdade social
Authors: Castello Branco Marta
Published: May 2024

A ideia de uma suposta música universal que se desenvolve a partir da disseminação da música erudita europeia tem raízes históricas que se expressam como conteúdo disciplinar desde, no mínimo, o Iluminismo. No entanto, a atualidade de sua relevância se mostra em processos de apropriação simbólica, que analisamos no cenário brasileiro contemporâneo, onde a disseminação do universalismo como paradigma inquestionável de superioridade cultural orienta a relação com a disciplina musical e é moldada pelo contexto das relações sociais, políticas e de fragilidade econômica, que investigaremos no caso da Orquestra Sinfônica do Estado de São Paulo (OSESP), concluindo, por fim, a dificuldade da música em se constituir como objeto epistêmico nesse contexto.
The Carbon-Based Evolutionary Theory (CBET)
Authors: Chen Ji-Ming , Chen Ji-Wang
Published: May 2024

Why and how did unordered, simple substances on Earth evolve into orderly, complex, and diverse organisms and social organizations? This is a fundamental scientific question that has captivated humans for millennia. Here we propose the Carbon-Based Evolutionary Theory (CBET) to provide novel, explicit, and relatively comprehensive answers to this question. The CBET identifies three key mechanisms based on some principles of classical physics and chemistry (e.g., laws of thermodynamics and organic chemistry) and some features of Earth and carbon-based materials (CBMs): the driving force mechanism, the structure-function mechanism, and the natural selection mechanism, which underpin the evolution of CBMs with energy, functions, and orderliness, respectively. These mechanisms are shared by the three phases of the evolution of CBMs: chemical evolution, biological evolution, and social evolution. They escalate the hierarchy of CBMs and augment the quantity, diversity, and orderliness of high-hierarchy CBMs. The CBET clarifies the natural roots of multiple pivotal and seemingly paradoxical social notions, such as inclusiveness versus elimination, collaboration versus competition, altruism versus selfishness, and freedom versus restriction. It advocates for the balanced, harmonious, and peaceful development of human society. The CBET unifies biology with physics and chemistry and could be a basic theory shared by the natural sciences and the social sciences. It could also be significant in the rational development of human society.

Published: May 2024

In virology, the term reverse genetics refers to a set of methodologies in which changes are introduced into the viral genome and their effects on the generation of infectious viral progeny and their phenotypic features are assessed. Reverse genetics emerged thanks to advances in recombinant DNA technology, which made the isolation, cloning, and modification of genes through mutagenesis possible. Most virus reverse genetics studies depend on our capacity to rescue an infectious wild-type virus progeny from cell cultures transfected with an “infectious clone”. This infectious clone generally consists of a circular DNA plasmid containing a functional copy of the full-length viral genome, under the control of an appropriate polymerase promoter. For most DNA viruses, reverse genetics systems are very straightforward, since DNA virus genomes are relatively easy to handle and modify and are also (with few notable exceptions) infectious per se. This is not true for RNA viruses, whose genomes need to be reverse transcribed into cDNA before any modification can be done. Establishing reverse genetics systems for members of the Caliciviridae has proven exceptionally challenging, due to the low number of members of this family that propagate in cell culture. Despite the early successful rescue of a calicivirus from a genome-length cDNA more than two decades ago, reverse genetics methods are not routine procedures that can be easily extrapolated to other members of the family. Reports of calicivirus reverse genetics systems have been few and far between. In this review, we discuss the main pitfalls, failures, and delays behind the generation of several successful calicivirus infectious clones.

Published: May 2024

This study examined injury patterns in fatal falls from heights and pedestrian traffic accidents, aiming to help in differential diagnoses in uncertain and rare cases where it is unclear whether the body may have fallen from nearby buildings or was left on the street after a traffic accident. A retrospective review of autopsy reports from the Institute of Legal Medicine of the University of Rome "Tor Vergata" between 2012 and 2023 was conducted. The analysis encompassed 232 cases, collecting data regarding internal organ injuries, bone fractures, and external skin injuries. Differences were observed in the presence of liver and lung injuries, cranial and forearm fractures, and the total injured skin area, proposing diagnostic markers. Statistical analyses highlighted the discriminative power of the "Total Injured Skin Area (cm²)" with a quantitative approach, potentially providing an optimal cut-off value for distinguishing between the two event types. A comparison with literature highlights the extreme heterogeneity in injuries patterns and highlighted that a spatial approach, considering whether injuries are unilateral or bilateral, may provide more accurate distinctions. The findings suggest the potential for developing a diagnostic algorithm throughout the integration of qualitative, quantitative, and spatial data to improve the objectivity required in medico-legal contexts.
Seasonal Dynamics and Three-Dimensional Hydrographic Features of the Eastern Gulf of Thailand: Insights from High-Resolution Modeling and Field Measurements
Authors: Pokavanich Tanuspong , Worrawatanathum Vasawan , Phattananuruch Kittipong , Koolkalya Sontaya
Published: May 2024

Through the integration of high-resolution hydrodynamic modeling and comprehensive field measurements, this study elucidates the intricate three-dimensional hydrographic characteristics of the eastern Gulf of Thailand (eGOT). In addition to the prevalent tidal currents dictating alternating flow along the northwestern and southeastern axes, our investigation reveals pronounced seasonal variations in mean currents, water temperature, and salinity within the eGOT, closely linked to the dynamics of the Asian-Australian monsoon system. During the southwest monsoon, mean currents exhibit a southeasterly trend, contrasting with a northwesterly pattern during the northeast monsoon. Lowest water temperatures occur during the latter, while the highest levels are observed during the 1st monsoon transition (April-March). Notably, salinity levels reach their lowest levels during the southwest monsoon and the 2nd monsoon transition (October), coinciding with the seasonal stratification of the water column and the emergence of a distinct stable along-the-shore northwesterly current with the average speed of 15 cm/s, defined here as the “Chathaburi Coastal Current (CCC)”. Model experiments attribute the formation of the CCC to decreased salinity induced by direct rainfall, highlighting the significance of rainfall as a key factor influencing coastal water dynamics in tropical regions or areas experiencing high precipitation.

Published: May 2024

The integration of magnetic observatories of many countries into the Intermagnet network has provided researchers with new opportunities to investigate many geophysical processes. The joint processing of measurement evidence from magnetic observatories located in various geolocations makes it possible to better understand the dynamics of the interaction of solar plasma fluxes with the Earth's magnetosphere. For the correct interpretation of the dynamics of physical processes, the accuracy of the time reference of measurement results is of great importance. The measurement results of local observatories were transformed to a unified ecliptic coordinate system oriented towards the Sun in order to extract small variations in the magnetic field occurring before the magnetic storm commencement. Before transforming the coordinates, a constant component equal to the average daily value of the magnetic field components was removed from the results of minute-by-minute measurements. Owing to the averaging evidence from 84 magnetic observatories of the Intermagnet network, variations in the magnetic field of cosmic origin, preceding the magnetic storm commencement were detected. The correlation analysis of these variations recorded by different observatories revealed the presence of time shifts between the data series of different observatories. Only 62% of the observatories had a relative data shift within the range of ± 1 minute. Before the joint data processing in order to efficient use of data recorded with a time shift a method for correcting time shifts has proposed.
A Bronze Lebes from the Coastal Cemetery of the Phaleron Delta, Greece: Excavation and Conservation of the Find
Authors: Panagopoulou Aikaterini , Zacharias Nikolaos
Published: May 2024

The excavations carried out by the Ephorate of Antiquities of Piraeus and Islands at the cemetery in the Phaleron Delta, Attica (late 8th - 4th century B.C.), have uncovered in total 1961 burials of various types, among which the Burial 923 is of particular importance as it is the only case of secondary cremation inside a copper alloy lebes. The use of such a valuable bronze vessel, symbolizing prestige, social status and wealth, as a cinerary urn indicates the importance of this find for the interpretation of issues related to the use of the cemetery and the ritual customs of the period and makes imperative the need to preserve the object despite its significant erosion. In this paper, we will present issues related to the lifting and conservation of the bronze vessel, that was found buried within a coastal and sandy depositional environment. Also, the condition of the vessel was scientifically investigated using optical microscopy (OM), portable X-ray fluorescence (p-XRF) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. The results showed a completely mineralized bronze artefact with tin corrosion products in the core, which indicate decuprification of the copper alloy.

Authors: Pitiriga Vassiliki C. , Kampos Elsa , Bakalis John , Saroglou George , Tsakris Athanasios Z
Published: May 2024

Background: While it is established that intravenous catheter placement duration is strongly linked to the risk of catheter colonization and bloodstream infections, there are still substantial knowledge gaps concerning the varying durations of PICC placement that lead to either infection or colonization by common pathogens, particularly MDR pathogens.
The present study aims to compare the dwell time required for MDR pathogens to colonize with the time required to cause Central Line-Associated Bloodstream Infections (CLABSIs) in critically ill patients with PICCs and compares it with non-MDR pathogens, shedding light on the significance of preventive procedures to control MDR infections in clinical settings.
Methods: Data from critically ill patients with PICCs admitted consecutively to «Metropolitan» Hospital in Athens, Greece, from May 2017 to May 2020 were retrospectively analysed.
Results: In this study, 86 hospitalized patients, consisting of 56 (65.1%) males and 30 (34.9%) females, with a mean age of 55.67±21.1 years (range 16-91 years), presented with both CLABSIs and colonization following PICC placements. Specifically, 42 (48.8%) of them presented with CLABSIs, while 44 (51.2%) presented with colonization. Among the total participants, an MDR pathogen was isolated from 26 (30.2%) PICCs, while other pathogens were isolated from 60 (69.8%). The mean duration of catheter dwell time for all participants was 20.94±14.22 days (range 3-72 days). When analysed separately for each group, the dwell time for PICCs with CLABSIs was 25.73±16.19 days and 16.36±10.28 days for those with colonization (T test, p=0.002). Additionally, the mean dwell time for PICCs infected by non-MDROs was 22.48±15.64 days whereas for PICCs with MDROs, it was 17.38±9.5 days (T test, p=0.005). In PICCs with CLABSIs, the mean indwelling time for MDR pathogens was 21.50±12.31 days, while for non-MDROs, it was 27.73±16.98 days (T test, p=0.417). In PICCs with colonization, the mean dwell time for MDR pathogens was 15.55±7.73 days, while for non-MDROs, it was 16.92±11.85 days (T test, p=0.124). Among PICCs with MDR pathogens (n=26), the mean duration in CLABSIs events (n=18) was 21.5±12.31 days and in colonization events 15.55±7.73 days, (n=8) (T test, p=0.146).
Conclusions: The present study reveals that colonization of PICCs exhibited a shorter dwell time compared to those with CLABSIs. Moreover, PICCs infected by MDROs had a shorter mean dwell time than those with non-MDROs. These findings underscore the importance of considering infection status and microbial resistance patterns when evaluating PICC dwell times.
Latest Insights into the In Vivo Studies Regarding the Role of TRP Channels in Wound Healing—A Review
Authors: Grigore Alexandra , Coman Oana Andreia , Păunescu Horia , Costescu Mihnea , Fulga Ion
Published: May 2024

Wound healing involves physical, chemical and immunological processes. Transient receptor potential (TRP) and other ion channels are implicated in epidermal re-epithelization. Ion movement across ion channels can induce transmembrane potential that leads to transepithelial potential (TEP) changes. TEP present in epidermis surrounding the lesion decreases and induces an endogenous direct current generating an epithelial electric field (EF) that could be implicated in wound re-epithelialization. TRP channels are involved in the activation of immune cells during the inflammatory phase of wound healing. The aim of the study was to review the mechanisms of ion channel involvement in wound healing in in vivo experiments in rodents (mice, rats, rabbits) and how can this process be influenced. This review used the latest results published in scientific journals over the last year and this year to date (1 January 2023–31 December 3000) in order to include the in-press articles. Some types of TRP channels, such as TRPV1, TRPV3, and TRPA1, are expressed in immune cells and can be activated by inflammatory mediators. The most beneficial effects in wound healing are produced using agonists of TRPV1, TRPV4 and TRPA1 channels or by inhibiting with antagonists, antisense oligonucleotides or knocking down TRPV3 and TRPM8 channels.

Introduction. “Vein definition” for locally advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (LA PDAC) assumes portal-to-superior mesenteric vein (PV/SMV) unreconstructability due to tumor involvement or occlusion. Radical pancreatectomies with SMV resection without PV/SMV reconstruction are scarcely discussed in the literature. Retrospective analysis of 19 radical pancreatectomies for “low” LA PDAC with SMV and all its tributaries resection without PV/SMV reconstruction has shown zero mortality, overall morbidity – 56%, Dindo-Clavien – 3-10,5%, R0- rate – 82%, mean operative procedure time – 355±154 min, mean blood loss – 330±170 ml, delayed gastric emptying– 25%, clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula – 8%. In three cases surgery was associated with superior mesenteric (n2) and common hepatic artery (n1) resection. Surgery was completed without vein reconstruction (n13) and with inferior mesenteric-to-splenic anastomosis (n6). There were no cases of liver, gastric, or intestinal ischemia. A specific complication of the SMV resection without reconstruction was 2-3 days-long intestinal edema (48%). Median overall survival – 25 months, median progression-free survival – 18 months. All the relapses, except two, were distant. The possibility of successful SMV resection without PV/SMV reconstruction can be predicted before surgery by CT-based reconstructions. The mandatory anatomical conditions for the procedure were: 1) preserved SMV-SV confluence; 2) occluded SMV for any reason (tumor or thrombus); 3) well-developed inferior mesenteric vein collaterals with dilated intestinal veins; 4) no right-sided vein collaterals, and 5) no varices in the upper abdomen. Conclusion: “Low” LA PDACs involving SMV with all its tributaries can be radically and safely resected in highly and specifically selected cases without PV/SMV reconstruction with an acceptable survival rate.

The Role of the Green Economy in Economic Growth in Indonesia Based on an Islamic Economic Perspective
Authors: YULITASARI LIS , Suryanto Tulus , Syamsul Hilal
Published: May 2024

Over the past few years, the concept of a green economy has been recognized as a vital mechanism for achieving economic progress in both developed and emerging nations. This study aims to analyze the role of the green economy in Indonesia's economic expansion based on an Islamic economic perspective. The research methodology employs library analysis and content assessment. The data sources utilized in this study were gathered from previous research, articles, regulations, and reference literature pertaining to green economics, economic growth, and Islamic economics. The results denote that the green economy bears tremendous potential to support economic advancement in Indonesia under an Islamic economic lens. By applying key tenets such as the obligation to safeguard nature and the judicious utilization of resources, Indonesia can cultivate a development paradigm that is sustainable and beneficial across all societal strata. This research recommends that private and public sector entities continue endorsing and integrating green economy principles moving forward. Specifically, Islamic financial instruments can be directed toward eco-friendly investments like renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, green technologies, and environmentally-conscious infrastructure. Such participations from Islamic economics in "greening" the economy signify promising trajectories aligning ethical and sustainable finance. As the world grapples with urgent ecological crises, policy frameworks in Indonesia should incentivize collective societal and commercial transitions toward greener fiscal practices. Islamic finance with its underlying moral philosophy can potentially transform finance itself into an apparatus upholding both economic and environmental welfare.

Authors: Nelli Roza
Published: May 2024

Objective: The objective of this study is to examine and create a model that proposes that views of compensation, in conjunction with career development and transformational leadership, operate as a mediating factor in nurse job satisfaction. Methodology: 200 clinical nurses participated in the survey-based study, which was carried out at the Embung Fatimah Regional General Hospital in Batam City. Stratified random sampling was used for the sampling process. The structural model's results show that career development has a favorable and considerable impact on job satisfaction, which is higher than the effects of transformational leadership and compensation. Greater than the impact of transformational leadership on compensation is the direct and substantial influence of career development on compensation. There is an indirect influence of career development on job satisfaction through remuneration that is greater than the influence of transformational leadership on job satisfaction through remuneration. Conclusion: Since compensation is a mediating variable, our research introduces it. It is imperative for nurses to prioritize their professional career development and adhere to existing legislation when it comes to remuneration management in order to enhance job satisfaction.
