Published: October 2024

This study investigates into the adverse impacts of heavy metal concentration on human health, particularly when present in water used in palm oil production in selected industries in Ondo State, Nigeria. Through wet-digestive analysis, the levels of heavy metals including Copper (Cu), Lead (Pb), Manganese (Mn), Zinc (Zn), and Cadmium (Cd) were assessed in both water samples and palm oil products. The results revealed concentrations of heavy metals in water samples and control ranging from Copper (0.167 – 0.297 and 0.143 mg/L), Lead (0.047 – 0.100 mg/L), Manganese (0.250 – 0.327 mg/L), and Zinc (0.0417 – 0.547 mg/L), while palm oil concentrations ranged from Cu (0.327 - 0.100 mg/L), Ni (0.045 - 0.010 mg/L), Pb (0.207 – 0.100 mg/L), Mn (0.390 - 0.183 mg/L), and Zn (0.697 – 0.453 mg/L). Comparison with World Health Organization (WHO) standards indicated that Pb concentrations in water exceeded permissible limits, suggesting potential contamination in palm oil samples. Additionally, a significant positive correlation (p<0.05) was observed between Pb levels in water and palm oil samples, indicating the transfer of lead contaminants into the palm oil during production. These findings underscore the importance of monitoring and regulating heavy metal concentrations in water sources used in palm oil production to safeguard public health.

An experiment was carried out on 24 Large White Yorkshire piglets of either sex at the pig unit of LFC of C.V.Sc., Rajendranagar, Hyderabad from weaning (56days) to 126 days. Piglets were reared on four types of flooring systems i.e., T1 (control group) reared on the concrete floor, T2 rubber mat, T3 elevated slatted floor, and T4 reared on soil floor. The floor space provided was 1.5 m2 per piglet during the post-weaning period. Pig cleanliness was assessed using a five-point scale on 4 anatomical areas: rear, back, and both flanks, and each area was given a score from 0 to 4. The cleanliness score was increased as the age advanced from first to ninth fortnight in all floor types. The overall mean cleanliness scores of LWY piglets maintained on four different floors was 2.21 ± 0.06, 2.57 ± 0.04, 0.63 ± 0.02, and 2.44 ± 0.03 in concrete, rubber mat, elevated slatted, and soil floor respectively. The overall mean dirt score of piglets reared on rubber mat floor was significantly (P<.0.01) higher than the piglets on the elevated slatted floor, but it was comparable with concrete and soil floor. The higher cleanliness score of the piglets reared on rubber mat floor were dirtier than piglets on concrete and soil floor whereas, the piglets reared on elevated slatted (low score) were cleaner than rubber mat, soil, and concrete floors.

Smartphones have become a necessity in today’s world. Majority of our undergraduate students make use of their smartphones to take notes in their classes, do assignments and other class related works. Studies and observations have shown that students use their smartphones for other activities like online frauds, visit to sites that can corrupt their minds and even waste their precious time on video watching, streaming and downloading of inappropriate materials and films that are injurious to them which eventually have a negative impact on their studies. In view of the aforementioned, the formulation of policies to guide the management of smartphones by undergraduate students in our higher institution of learning is therefore very germane at this time. It has been postulated that Policy makers should ban the use of smartphones among the undergraduate students in our higher institutions of learning but some other concerns are of the opinion that it should not be banned but regulated. Customized tabs with WIFI capabilities should be provided to enable students to go online for their research activities and classes thereby restricting them to their academics and prohibiting them from accessing forbidden sites. Institutional customized tabs will block some harmful materials and prevent them from unnecessary sites. Institutions should also allocate fixed megabytes to students for their educational programs. This will inculcate discipline into the minds of the students and make them to use their online allocations for necessary things.

This research was arranged in a complete randomized design with thirteen treatment combinations and three replications. The treatments were combination between types of media shoat, dairy manure, compost, vermicompost and sandy soil. The result describes different ratio of organic matter combinations affect all the growth parameters of coffee seedlings. In interaction of year by treatments highly significant difference was recorded for days to emergence, root length, Internode length and girth. Based on cost of organic maters the highest cost was incurred for combination of 20% top soil+40% sand+ 40% vermin compost (10950ETB) while the lowest cost was incurred for treatment 40% top soil + 20% sand +40% dairy manure (5400ETB). In general, a growth media combination of 40% top soil plus 20% sand plus 40% vermin compost (2:1:2) works better than treatments. We recommend 40% top soil + 20% sand + 40% dairy manure (2:1:2) for coffee growers and private sectors located in Bako areas and areas with similar agroecology, taking into consideration the financial issue, health and performance of the seedlings.
A Review of Bioinformatics Methods for RNA Secondary and Tertiary Structures Prediction
Authors:   Computer Science Department, TSI Lab, Faculty of Science, Moulay Ismail University Meknes, Morocco, El Fatmi Abdelhakim
Published: October 2024

Initially, it was thought that Ribonucleic acid (RNA) primarily served as a carrier of information required for protein synthesis. However, recent discoveries have unveiled RNA’s pivotal involvement in gene regulatory networks and various cellular processes. The functionality of an RNA molecule is intricately linked to its structures, including secondary and tertiary (three-dimensional) structures. Consequently, comprehending the functions of RNA necessitates a thorough understanding of its diverse structural aspects. Deciphering the secondary structure or tertiary structure of RNA from its primary sequence is a complex computational challenge. Consequently, several methods and techniques have been devised to address this issue. Initially, physical techniques like X-Ray, Crystallography, and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance were employed, but they proved to be expensive, labor-intensive, and time-consuming. As a result, the demand for bioinformatics methods has significantly increased to tackle this problem more efficiently. In this paper, we will explore the various employed methods for predicting the different RNA structures, encompassing both secondary and tertiary structures.

Published: October 2024

The purpose of this abstract is to show not only to design drugs to treat genetic diseases, but also to extend human life to travel in deep space in search of new homes for humanity and to spread human intelligence in every corner of the Universe. Most genetic diseases are often caused by either a single point mutations or multiple genetic defects in specific genes. Genes code for protein. The nucleotide mutated genes code for non-functional proteins resulting in different diseases such as blood disorders like ß-thalassemia, sickle cell disease, hereditary spherocytosis, Cystic fibrosis, Tay-Sachs disease. Second, additional diseases are identified due to Chromosomal abnormalities which occur when there is a frame shift mutation due to the deletion or insertion of an extra chromosomes such as Down Syndrome, Tay-Sachs disease. and Hemophilia A and B. More than thirty-five thousand such genetic disorders have been identified. The point mutation diseases are inherited. Treating such diseases present the greatest challenges to the next generation of scientists. The first line of treatment is Gene Therapy and CRISPER-Case9 therapy in which mutated gene is replaced by a normal gene in one generation. In cases where replacement of the mutated gene is not possible, Drug therapy could be developed by designing drugs to shut off those mutated genes. By comparing with all 35,000-point mutations sequences with the Reference Sequence data from the 1000-genome project, we can easily identify with precision and accuracy, the specific mutated nucleotide responsible for causing the genetic diseases due to nucleotide or chromosomal mutations. Once the mutation on the nucleotide in a gene is identified, we can design drugs to shut off that gene. By making AZQ (US Patent 4,233,215), I have demonstrated how to design drugs to shut off frame-shift mutation in a gene responsible for causing Glioblastoma, the brain cancer. Using the same rationale, it is the challenge for the next generation of scientists (my students) to design drugs to shut off genes to treat genetic diseases and to prolong life. Now, we have learned to convert the analog language of Biology into digital language of computer, by sending convertor and receiver in the spaceships, we can not only send the data across Universe with the speed of light, but also to protect, preserve and spread human intelligence across the Universe

Authors:   Uzima University School of Medicine, Kenya, Ajwang Arthur
Published: October 2024

Background: In many Low and middle income countries, most patients present with advanced cases of cervical cancer (Figo Stages III and IV). The factors contributing to this have been studied and reported as being due to health seeking behaviours, lack of screening services and late diagnosis among others. Objective: This study aimed to explore the increase in incidences of early onset advanced cervical cancer in young HIV Negative rural women, as compared to their urban counterparts presenting at the Oncology Clinic of the hospital. Methodology: A mixed method study was undertaken of purposively recruited HIV negative patients, aged 13-35 years, presenting with Cancer of the Cervix in the 2020-2021 period of study. Findings: The study found out that, in the period 2020-2021, most patients presented to the hospital with early onset advanced cancer of the cervix, and 39 (64%) were diagnosed at FIGO Stages III and IV, while just 22 (36%) were diagnosed at Stages I and II. Conclusion: Our conclusion is that apparently due to the early routine cancer of the cervix screening of young HIV positive women, cases are being diagnosed very early, in the pre-cancer and early stages, leading to early treatment and remission, in turn leading to the increased contribution of young HIV negative women with advanced cancer of the cervix.

Authors:   General Surgery Residency Training Program, Oman Medical Specialty Board, Muscat, Oman, AlMusalhi Khadija
Published: October 2024

Objectives: Recurrence of breast cancer is common. There are reported risk factors for recurrence which are patient age, tumor size, tumor grade, (lymph vascular invasion (LVI), extensive intraductal component (EIC), and margin status. Nodal involvement also contributes to the recurrence rate as well as hormonal status, and if the patient receives neoadjuvant/adjuvant therapy or not. The aim of this study is to look for the clinical and pathological predictors of patients who have recurrent breast cancer after surgical treatment. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study at one center (Royal hospital) between 2010 to 2020 for patients who were treated surgically for nonmetastatic breast cancer. We collected the clinical which was mainly the age at the diagnosis and pathological predictors (final histopathology report of the surgical specimen) from the medical records system of the hospital after obtaining the ethical approval. Total sample size was 270 Omani patients. The primary endpoint was the time to locoregional recurrence or systemic recurrence as the first event. A multivariate analysis of the predictors was carried and a P-value of < 0.05 was considered statistically significant with 95% CI. Results: Out of 270 patients with breast cancer who were surgically treated, 113 had recurrence and 157 had no recurrence. There were 104 patients with recurrence have invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) and 9 patients with high-grade ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). The Mean age of patients with recurrence was 44.0 while in patients without recurrence was 48.3. The difference in age between the two groups is not statistically significant in predicting the recurrence (p = 0.816). ER, LVI, EIC, nodal involvement, grade, margin, and type of tumor were the significant predictors of recurrence by bivariate analysis. However, High grade (Hazard ratio (HR) = 3.823, 95% CI: 1.104-13.240; p = 0.034), EIC (HR = 17.407, 95% CI: 1.538-196.999; p = 0.021), and nodal involvement (HR = 2.314, 95% CI: 1.123-4.767; p = 0.023) remain the significant predictors for recurrent breast cancer in the multivariate Cox regression analysis. By using Kaplan-Meier, the median survival time was 132 months and the recurrence-free survival at two years was 88.0% (The recurrence rate = 12.0%). Conclusions: High grade, extensive intraductal component, and nodal involvement are significant predictors for breast cancer recurrence. The recurrencefree survival at 2 years is 88.0%. Our recommendation is a close follow-up for patients with these predictors.

Authors:   Urology Department, Ibn Rochd Hospital, Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy, Hassan Ii University, Casablanca, Morocco, O Bjane
Published: October 2024

Background: Chronic human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is associated with an increased incidence of Non-Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (non-AIDS) defining cancers. To date, only a limited number of cases of bladder cancer have been linked with HIV infection in women. We sought to describe the clinical characteristics of HIV-associated bladder cancer. Methods: A 54-year-old female patient presented with symptoms of an occlusive syndrome. Medical examination was followed by a CT scan. The imaging revealed a significant finding. There was a noticeable process within the bladder. Further evaluation and management were recommended. Results: Spontaneous urinary cytology revealed the presence of malignant cells. An endoscopy was performed under spinal anesthesia, uncovering a large sessile tumor with necrotic areas located on the ventral aspect and dome of the bladder. Due to the severity of the condition, a palliative resection was carried out. Subsequent histological examination identified the tumor as a high-grade urothelial carcinoma, with evidence of muscle invasion. This diagnosis confirmed the aggressive nature of the disease, highlighting the necessity for further medical management and intervention. Conclusion: Bladder cancers in HIV-infected patients are rare but can occur in relatively young individuals with a low nadir CD4 cell count. These cancers often exhibit aggressive pathological features and can be fatal.

The investigation of novel treatment approaches is necessary since cannabis addiction still presents serious obstacles to modern healthcare. This paper explores the intriguing field of terpenoids and clarifies how they can be used to treat cannabinoid addiction in a variety of ways. The main subject is β-caryophyllene, a terpene that has the unusual ability to activate cannabinoid receptor type 2 (CB2) and have anti-inflammatory effects. In order to slow down the development of addiction, β-caryophyllene appears to be a crucial component in treating the neuroinflammation linked to long-term cannabis use. The paper delves into the complex ways that terpenoids interact with neurotransmitter systems, providing insight into how they affect the GABA and glutamate pathways. This affects reward systems and offers a technique to potentially control cravings and withdrawal symptoms. Additionally, terpenoids’ anxiolytic properties, especially those of β-caryophyllene, offer a comprehensive strategy for stress reduction, which is an essential part of addiction rehabilitation. The study examines the synergy of terpenoids and cannabinoids, highlighting how their combined activity may boost medicinal efficacy and emphasizing the entourage effect. The conversation goes beyond β-caryophyllene to include a wide range of terpenoids and how they might be included into customized treatment plans. Nonetheless, difficulties like safety concerns and legal restrictions are recognized. In its optimistic conclusion, the paper calls for more study and creative approaches to incorporating terpenoid synergy into medical practice. This investigation advances the field of cannabis addiction treatment by shedding light on the therapeutic mosaic of terpenoids.

Relapsed Bacterial Meningitis in an Adolescent Patient with Aberrant Patent Foramen Caecum
Authors:   Pediatrician, MD, MBBS, ECFMG & PMDC Certified, USA, Nawaz Sobia
Published: October 2024

Bacterial meningitis is a serious life-threatening condition. Recurrent meningitis is defined as two independent episodes of meningitis that are separated by a period of convalescence and full recovery. Therefore, true recurrence results from a re-infection with the same or a different bacterial organism. In contrast, recrudescence and relapsed meningitis (RBM) represent persistence of the initial infection resulting from treatment failure. Both are uncommon and could be due to anatomic anomalies of the skull, traumatic head injury with secondary CSF fistula, complement deficiency or spread from a para meningeal infection.

The skin serves as the body first protecting barrier against the external attacks of chemicals and microorganisms. On the other hand, it is an obstacle to penetration and transdermal delivery of any substance applied on its surface. Thus, a need to report some news on the skin composition for a better understanding of the transdermal delivery mechanisms of topical products applied on its surface. Therefore, due to the actual increased use of topical drugs, cosmetics, and diet supplement treatments, further feasibility research studies have been carried out to extend the knowledge of the percutaneous absorption ‘rules and means. These studies are retained necessary to control the release through the skin layers of various selected active ingredients, loaded and carried out by different vehicles. The paper will focus on the effectiveness of innovative tissue carriers that, are able to deliver active ingredients throughout the skin layers, are made by a very low consumption of water, and are free of chemicals also. In conclusion, these novel eco-sustainable carriers, resulting skin- and environmentally friendly, might be used as innovative vehicles in substitution of the normal emulsions that, made by the use of preservatives, emulsifiers, fragrances, and other chemicals may often cause allergic and/or sensitization phenomena, consuming a great quantity of water also.

Published: October 2024

The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the technical feasibility of utilizing some of the local industrial waste (stone cutting wastewater and marble) in manufacturing artificial stone and enhancing its quality, with the addition of a superplasticizer (liquefier). The paper reviews the previous work and presents new experimental work. Artificial stone samples were casted according to two starting formulas obtained from local production facilities. Later on, an engineered production formula was developed and tested, based on product quality. The investigated experimental parameters included: compressive strength, water absorption, and workability of fresh concrete. The experimental results indicated that high compressive strength and a low water absorption for artificial stone is technically feasible. In term of the compressive strength of artificial stone the marble dust contributed better than limestone wastewater.

Authors:   Eyebright Medical Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd. Beijing, PR China, Yun Tian
Published: October 2024

Objective: Through the combined analysis of data from two clinical trials, the clinical safety and efficacy of aspheric intraocular lens A1-UV implantation in cataract patients was evaluated at 1 year after surgery. Methods: A total of 239 subjects (239 eyes) were enrolled, including 117 subjects in the A1-UV group (study group), 61 subjects in the SN60WF group (control group 1) and AQBHL group (control group 2), respectively. Follow-up time points included: preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative 1~2days, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year. The evaluation indexes included: visual acuity, refraction, contrast sensitivity, intraocular pressure and complications. Statistical methods mainly include Wilcoxon rank-sum test, independent samples t-test, chi-square test or Fisher exact probability test. Results: The uncorrected distance visual acuity of the A1-UV group increased from logMAR 0.77±0.33 preoperatively to 0.15±0.22 at 1 year after surgery, from 0.74±0.33 in the SN60WF group to 0.18±0.23 at 1 year after surgery, and from 0.78±0.34 in the AQBHL group to 0.21±0.24 at 1 year after surgery. For best-corrected distance visual acuity, the A1-UV group increased from logMAR 0.60±0.36 preoperatively to 0.05±0.10 at 1 year after surgery, the SN60WF group increased from 0.59±0.36 preoperatively to 0.07±0.15 at 1 year after surgery, and the AQBHL group increased from 0.59±0.35 preoperatively to 0.08±0.11 at 1 year after operation. There was no significant difference between the A1-UV group and the other two groups (all P>0.05). At different follow-up times after surgery, the residual diopters was significantly lower than that before operation (all P<0.05), and the refractive error before operation was effectively corrected. The contrast sensitivity was high, and the visual function was better. The mean intraocular pressure of the subjects implanted with A1-UV was within the normal range during each follow-up period after surgery. None of the patients had serious adverse events related to intraocular lens. Conclusion: The efficacy and safety of A1-UV foldable one-piece intraocular lens in cataract treatment are good

Breast cancer is the most common type of malignant tumor that occurs in women. Despite this, physicians report that they screen elderly patients for breast cancer less than young patients, regardless of cancer history. This case report describes an elderly patient who presented with diplopia, eyelid swelling, and restricted eye movement, leading to the discovery of a diffuse orbital tumor and Stage IV left breast carcinoma with metastases to bone, liver, and peritoneum. The patient had been told to stop mammograms years prior to her diagnosis despite her past history of uterine cancer. The case underscores the possibility of orbital metastasis from breast cancer and highlights the necessity of diligent cancer screening in elderly women.
