Abstract A recent examination of Philometra nematodes from mangrove red snapper Lutjanus argentimaculatus (Forsskal, 1775) from the Karachi coast, Kemari was done in the years 2021–2022. The present study reported three new species of genus Philometra (Costa, 1845) (Nematoda: Philometridae) Philometra kolachii, Philometra lutjani and Philometra kemarii. A total of 140 fish samples were examined, and 76 were infected. The intensity of infected fish was 54.28%. In Pakistan, literature on Philometrid nematodes is limited, therefore, this research would be helpful for the documentation and enhancement of nematods in Pakistan.

Abstract Background Diabetics are at 5-15 times greater risk of developing peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and few studies have compared risk factors and distribution and severity of arterial changes in diabetics compared with non-diabetics. Objectives To compare angiographic changes between diabetic and non-diabetic patients with advanced PAD and correlate them with risk factors. Methods A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted of consecutive patients undergoing lower limb arteriography for PAD (Rutherford 3-6) using TASC II and Bollinger et al. angiographic scores. Exclusion criteria were upper limb angiographies, unclear images, incomplete laboratory test results, and previous arterial surgeries. Statistical analyses included chi-square tests, Fisher's test for discrete data, and Student’s t test for continuous data (significance level: p < 0.05). Results We studied 153 patients with a mean age of 67 years, 50.9% female and 58.2% diabetics. A total of 91 patients (59%) had trophic lesions (Rutherford 5 or 6) and 62 (41%) had resting pain or limiting claudication (Rutherford 3 and 4). Among diabetics, 81.7% were hypertensive, 29.4% had never smoked, and 14% had a history of acute myocardial infarction. According to the Bollinger et al. score, infra-popliteal arteries were more affected in diabetics, especially the anterior tibial artery (p = 0.005), while the superficial femoral artery was more affected in non-diabetics (p = 0.008). According to TASC II, the most severe angiographic changes in the femoral-popliteal segment occurred in non-diabetic patients (p = 0.019). Conclusions The most frequently affected sectors were the infra-popliteal sectors in diabetics and the femoral sector in non-diabetics.

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of replacing 50% of the true protein from soybean meal with extruded urea on the performance and carcass characteristics of lambs finished on pasture. Twenty lambs with initial weight of 29.9±6.2kg and 5 months of age, distributed in two treatments in blocks at random, were kept in pastures of Urochloa spp. Supplemented with 2% of body weight (BW). The treatments consisted of supplements containing soybean meal as the only true protein source (control), or extruded urea replacing 50% of soybean meal (NPN treatment). There was no effect of treatment on total supplement intake. There were differences in average daily gain (242.1 vs. 264.6g/day), slaughter weight (41.9 vs. 45.0kg) and carcass weight (18.9 vs. 20.1kg). There was no effect of the treatment on the final body condition score, hot carcass yield, carcass length, breast depth, subcutaneous fat thickness or rib eye area. The group of animals that received extruded urea showed superior carcass finishing characteristics (99.0% vs. 66.0%), maturity (22.0% vs. 0.0%), marbling (55.0% vs. 33.0%), meat texture (44.0% vs. 33.0%) and fat (66.0% vs. 22.0%). There were no significant effects on tenderness (7.5kg/f) or flesh color (L* = 33.2; a* = 16.2; b* = 8.3). There were no significant changes in the biochemical profile of the animals' blood during the experiment for both treatments. The replacement of 50% of protein from soybean meal by the extruded urea as NPN source in the supplement for lambs finished in Urochloa spp pastures provides better animal performance and qualitative characteristics of meat, without altering quantitative carcass characteristics.

ABSTRACT Porcine hemoplasmosis is characterized as a geographically cosmopolitan disease caused by Mycoplasma suis and Mycoplasma parvum. Asymptomatic pigs are considered the focus of hemoplasmosis because they are carriers and reservoirs to new infections. This study aimed to determine the molecular occurrence of porcine hemoplasmas (PH) in the production cycle of technified farrow-to-finished swine herds. For this purpose, 20 swine herds were evaluated, where 501 whole blood samples were collected for qPCR and phylogenetic analyses for hemoplasmas. The epidemiological analysis was performed for the entire population and per the growth stage. The total prevalence for PH was 31.93% (161/501); 95% (19/20) of sampled herds were positive. The occurrence of PH by swine growth stages was nursery (30.47%), growing (31.29%), finishing (26.18%), and slaughter (40.25%). The quantification cycles (Cq) ranged from 3.18- 39.56 and the number of PH 16S rRNA copies per µL of DNA ranged from 5,57 x10-2 to 2.23 x1010. Sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of five selected samples showed 100% identity with M. parvum strain Indiana and two M. parvum sequences from Brazil/Goiás. This is the first report on PH in technified herds in Southeastern Brazil by growth stages.

Published: February 2023

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to identify the effect of pre and postpartum DCAD on serum levels of calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium in peripartum Holstein cows. Blood samples were collected from 56 cows (18 primiparous and 38 multiparous) on days -7, +7, +14 and +28 relative to parturition, to determine serum levels of total and ionized calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and albumin; diet samples for determination of calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and DCAD were collected at the same moments and urine samples were collected at day -7 for measurement of urinary pH. Prepartum DCAD was positively correlated with total calcium (p = 0.02) and with corrected total calcium (p = 0.01) at day -7. There was a negative correlation between prepartum DCAD and magnesium levels at day -7 (p = 0.02). No influence of prepartum DCAD on phosphataemia was observed. Postpartum DCAD did not correlate with serum mineral levels at any time point. Our results demonstrate that prepartum DCAD can influence calcium and magnesium homeostasis, but not phosphorus. In addition, parity and time period should be considered when evaluating serum levels of these minerals in Holstein cows during transition period.

ABSTRACT This study aimed to describe the epidemiological indexes of mastitis, milk quality and udder hygiene in the Compost Barn system, as well as to search for associations between isolated pathogens from milk with compost characteristics. Three dairy herds participated in the study, and the samples were collected during different periods on each farm. Individual milk samples were collected in duplicate for SCC analysis and microbiological culture. Environmental pathogens caused most cases of clinical mastitis on farm 2, and contagious pathogens caused the most cases on farm 1. Bed moisture was not associated with the incidence of environmental pathogens. Most of the animals remained in good udder hygiene during the study. Poor udder hygiene contributed to the increased incidence of environmental pathogens in one of the farms. A higher number of animals with a hygiene score of ≥ 2 were observed during the warmer and rainfall periods. There was no association between hygiene scores and somatic cell counts. The results suggest that pathogens isolated from milk in animals confined in Compost Barn under tropical climate are like other confinement systems adopted elsewhere. The year period influenced the udder hygiene score, reinforcing the importance of bed management throughout the year.
Ascaridia galli: A report of erratic migration in eggs for human consumption in Bucaramanga, Colombia - case report

Published: February 2023

ABSTRACT This case report describes how an erratic specimen of Ascaridia galli in the adult phase was recovered in an unusual way from a hen’s egg intended for human consumption. Although the literature on similar events is limited, this appears to be the first case reported in Bucaramanga, Colombia. The parasite was identified directly under a light microscope as an adult female A. galli, 6.5-cm long with 3 trilobed lips. In addition, the remaining eggs of the same group were examined to determine if there were more cases of erratic migration in that same batch. This nematode can cause various pathological conditions, including enteritis, hemorrhage, diarrhea, anemia, weakness, and emaciation, that can lead to huge economic and production losses in the poultry industry.

ABSTRACT Members of the order Trypanorhyncha are cestode parasites that are frequently found infecting the muscles of several marine fish species, affecting fish health, and resulting in consumers’ rejection of fish. Fifty-two specimens of marine fish were freshly caught throughout the year 2020 from boat landing sites at the Alexandria coast along the Mediterranean Sea in Egypt, including the grey trigger fish Balistes carolinensis (F: Balistidae); the mottled grouper Mycteroperca rubra (F: Serranidae) and the common sole Solea vulgaris (F: Soleidae). Blastocysts were isolated and ruptured; the generated pleurocerci were described morphologically and morphometrically by light and scanning electron microscopy. Also, multiple-sequence alignment was performed, and a phylogenetic tree was constructed following maximum likelihood analysis of the 18s and 28s ribosomal RNA sequences of the recovered worms. Thirty fish were infected; the infection was recorded as blastocysts embedded in fish flesh. Three different parasitic species were recovered and classified morphologically as Gymnorhynchus isuri, Pseudotobothrium dipsacum and Heteronybelinia estigmena. The taxonomic position of these parasites was justified by molecular analysis of their 18s and 28s rRNAs, which revealed high percentages of homology with species recovered from the GenBank. The accession numbers ON157059, ON139663 and ON139662 were respectively assigned to the recovered parasites after their deposition in GenBank. The results obtained from the molecular analyses confirmed the morphological records of the recovered parasites. Since metacestodes are found in the musculature of infected fish specimens, it is necessary to remove these areas in the commercialization of fish.

Published: February 2023

Abstract: Project development in indigenous communities is one of the mechanisms for developing territories, economy, and culture. This article aims to review project design and development in indigenous communities from a bibliographic perspective, following the methodology proposed by Cronin et al. (2008). Published scientific papers about project design in these communities are used. Accordingly, various studies focused on analyzing projects developed in indigenous communities, from community development to socio-cultural and indigenous entrepreneurship are found. Project design in indigenous communities must be done to ensure the success of the project and the achievement of the proposed objectives through social capital, the participation of all community members, social innovation, and multigenerational understanding of the linkages among products, people, and ecosystems. In addition, the relevance of the process is acknowledged by valuing the particularities of the indigenous population, which leads to an allusion to concepts such as indigenous planning, a key element in project design. Likewise, the relevant topics for future research aimed at the conception of indigenous territories and their articulation with territorial and sustainable development are considered.

ABSTRACT In Italy the 0-6 educational institutions have always been characterized as a split system; the 0-6 integrated system was born on a legislative level only recently (Law No. 107/2015; Dlgs. No. 65/2017). To build an educational perspective 0-6 a pedagogy for play is proposed, theoretically founded on the recognition of play as a vital and existential experience for children. In line with this perspective some operational indications are illustrated regarding both the relationship with play as promotion from inside and the construction of educational paths from play itself.

Published: February 2023

Background: Ovarian neoplasm is a type of cancer caused by uncontrolled growth and division of cells within the ovary. It is a common type of gynecological cancer that affects a wide range of ages and can have various clinical, morphological, and histological features. This study aimed to examine the relationship between clinical presentation and histological pattern of ovarian neoplasm.
Methods: This cross-sectional study conducted among 45 patients admitted to department of gynecology at Shaheed Suhrawardy medical college and hospital with features of ovarian neoplasm from February 2013 to February 2014. 
Results: The 82.3% of cases were benign tumors, 15.5% were malignant tumors, and 2.2% were borderline tumors. Benign tumors were more common in the 3rd decade, while malignant tumors were more common in the 4th to 6th decade. Symptoms of benign tumors included abdominal lumps and pain, while malignant tumors presented with abdominal pain, GIT-related symptoms, and ascites in some cases. The most common type of tumor was surface epithelial (84.5%), followed by germ cell (13.3%) and sex cord-stromal (2.2%) tumors.
Conclusions: The study highlights the importance of recognizing the different clinical presentations of benign and malignant ovarian neoplasm.

Published: February 2023

Background: Tuberculosis disease under six years is an indicator of recent transmission within the community. We aim to characterize tuberculosis disease in children under six years in a pediatric department of a level II hospital in the Lisbon metropolitan area, which serves a high percentage of immigrants from Portuguese-speaking African countries.
Methods: Retrospective and descriptive study of tuberculosis disease cases treated in our Department between January 2004 and December 2021 (18 years). Descriptive analysis of the collected data was performed using SPSS Statistics® 25.
Results: 25 patients were included, 60% diagnosed between 2016 and 2021. Five patients were born in countries with high TB incidence and 11 other patients had immigrant families from such countries. Ten out of 13 patients not immunized with BCG had the recommendation to do so. A close contact with tuberculosis was known in 15 patients, and in seven of those the system for TB prevention failed. At diagnosis: 4/25 patients had disseminated tuberculosis (three miliary and one congenital).
Conclusions: The increase in tuberculosis disease cases under six years in the last three years points to some pitfalls in tuberculosis surveillance and transmission prevention. New studies and institutional protocols are needed to improve the effectiveness of the network involved in TB prevention and treatment.

Authors: P. C. Naveen  , Penmetsa Chinmai Sowmya  , B. Neeharika  , M. Venu
Published: February 2023

Background: Bronchiectasis is an irreversible dilatation of more than one bronchus, with decreased clearance of secretions and expiratory flow. Secondary bacterial infection is so common, which worsens the disease. Sequelae of the disease lead to poor quality of life, with increased morbidity and mortality. This issue has limited literature.
Methods: Patients diagnosed to have bronchiectasis by HRCT chest in a tertiary care hospital, Alluri Sitarama academy of medical sciences, Eluru, A. P were included. Detailed clinical history was taken. After basic investigations, sputum samples were sent to CBNAAT and routine bacterial culture sensitivity. These patients were subjected to spirometry. Parameters measured in spirometry were forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1st second (FEV1), ratio of FEV1 to FVC (FEV1/FVC).
Results: Forty patients were enrolled in this study. Majority of them were females i.e., 24 (60%). Most common symptom/sign was crackles (95%) followed by productive cough (92.5%), dyspnea (55%) and haemoptysis (28%). Increased growth of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (37.5%) was found followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae (30%), Streptococcus pneumoniae (15%), Staphylococcus aureus (2.5%) and H. influenzae (2.5%).
Conclusions: Bronchiectasis, which is an end result of various diseases, commonly presents with productive cough, dyspnoea and haemoptysis, either as a single entity or as comorbidity with COPD or asthma. Knowledge of prevalent etiologies and types of bronchiectasis helps clinician for effective diagnosis and treatment of these patients.

Published: February 2023

Self-efficacy is needed as a basis for action and is defined as a person’s ability to take care of himself in order to achieve the expected results. Breast cancer patients need good self-efficacy to undergo treatment, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to describe the characteristics of breast cancer patients and their relationship with self-efficacy during treatment at the Dharmais Cancer Hospital. The study design used was cross-sectional, involving 107 cancer patients through consecutive sampling. Self-efficacy was assessed using the Cancer Behavior Inventory (CBI) instrument. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test. The results showed that as many as 69 respondents (64%) had low self-efficacy during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results showed that age (p = 0.008), employment status (p = 0.026), monthly income (p = 0.000), and ward (p = 0.031) had significant relationship to self-efficacy. Self-efficacy describes the optimistic perception of cancer patients being able to overcome their cancer-related stressors. In probable or confirmed cases of COVID-19, most patients will fall into a state of psychological crisis, unstable emotions, rejection, anger, and non-compliance with treatment. Education and counseling regarding self-efficacy are needed in an effort to increase the self-efficacy of breast cancer patients undergoing treatment during the COVID-19 pandemic at Dharmais Cancer Hospital Jakarta.

Published: February 2023

Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of disability and death in the elderly. Performing regular physical activity within the body’s tolerance limit is another way to reduce the risk of death from cardiovascular disease. The study aimed to determine the physical activity of the elderly with cardiovascular disease during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research method used a descriptive survey. The study took place in the Payung Sekaki Health Center’s work area. A cluster random sampling technique was employed in the sampling. There were four clusters with a total of 100 elderly respondents. Physical activity was measured using the PASE (physical activities scale for the elderly) questionnaire. The research showed that the majority of the elderly (56%) were women, the age included in the elderly category (60-74 years) was 96%, the ethnic groups came from Minang (37%), had a secondary education level (46%), worked history as a laborer (45%), the disease currently experienced by the elderly was 73% suffering from hypertension for 10-20 years (57%), complaints by the elderly during the last month are dizziness (58%) and neck pain (47 %), while the complaints experienced after physical activity was feeling weak (72%), and the physical activity of the elderly with cardiovascular problems during the COVID-19 pandemic was 67% having less physical activity. Based on these conditions, it can be concluded that during the COVID-19 pandemic, the elderly did not carry out physical activity. This condition should be a concern for healthcare providers, who should increase efforts to encourage the elderly to engage in physical activity.

Published: February 2023

Chronic kidney failure is a progressive and irreversible kidney damage in which there is an occurrence of being unable to transport the body’s metabolic waste or its regular functions, thus requiring hemodialysis therapy. Hemodialysis causes changes in body image such as physical weakness, nausea, vomiting, balance disorders, increased levels of uremic in the blood, muscle aches, and edema. This study aims to determine the body image of patients with chronic kidney failure undergoing hemodialysis. A descriptive quantitative research design was carried out in the Indonesian dialysis patient community (KPCD) Pekanbaru, the sample of this study was 49 respondents using a total sampling technique. The measuring instrument used was a questionnaire body image variable from previous research. The analysis used was descriptive with a univariate test. The results showed that 57.1% of respondents had disturbed body images and 42.9% of respondents had undisturbed body images. It means that hemodialysis patients need nursing intervention to reduce disturbed body image.

Este artigo pretende focar a obra do escritor e artista contemporâneo Nuno Ramos, que pode ser considerada como uma das possíveis vias para construir outrotipo de representação da violência na Literatura e na Arte brasileiras contemporâneas, avaliando escolhas temáticas e procedimentos interartísticos e dando especial ênfase à importância do estranhamento, do abjeto e do grotesco. Além disso, este estudo analisa a originalidade de obra de Ramos, destacando a distância existente entre a sua filosofia estética e alguns dos elementos fundamentais do seu universo artístico e literário — opressão, crueldade, alienação — e qualquer tendência ou rótulo contemporâneo.
Health Risk Assessment of Some Heavy Metals in Lipsticks Sold in Local Markets in Iraq

Published: February 2023

Heavy metals found in cosmetics are a safety threat to the health of consumers. Therefore, in this study, we evaluated the levels of heavy metals such as cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), and arsenic (As) in lipstick makeup. The level of heavy metals in lipstick was discovered by using an analytical technique with high selectivity and sensitivity, namely atomic absorption spectrometry. Twenty lipsticks were selected from the same brands, yet differing in price. Ten original (expensive) and ten knockoff (cheap) lipsticks were chosen from shops in Diyala, Iraq. The detection-limit (LOD) was in between 0.01 and 0.1, the quantification-limit (LOQ) was within 0.03 and 0.33, the recovery values (Rec.%) ranged from 100.17% to 101.1%, the RE values were 0.81%, and the RSD values were 1.33%. The results also revealed that the levels of metals are in the order of Pb > Cd > Zn > Cu > As > Cr. However, the levels of heavy metals that were estimated in this study were less than the permissible limit set by the executive authorities, so there seems to be no concern associated with these heavy metals. However, the daily and frequent use of lipstick by women exposes them to low levels of toxic metals as these metals accumulate over time and pose adverse effects on the health of the users. The results of the hazard quotient (HQ) and health risk index (HI) indicate there was no harmful effect on human health related to heavy metals present in lipstick. Whereas the results of the biological activity of the samples indicated that there was no bacterial growth in expensive samples, cheap samples were contaminated with some types of organisms; this indicates poor quality.
Стилистические знаки полифоничного текста
Authors: Валентинова Ольга
Published: February 2023

В полифонично организованном тексте с характерным ослаблением связей между высказыванием, его субъектом, объектом и значением стиль меняет свою функциональную направленность. Действующая в условиях полифонии стилистическая омонимия приводит к снижению семиотической значимости категории стиля. Стиль перестает выполнять характерологическую функцию, затрудняя, а в ряде случаев делая невозможной атрибуцию героя по стилистическим показателям его речи. Недифференцированное – вне привязанности к определенным субъектам и к определенным объектам – употребление ярких стилистических показателей (уменьшительных форм, каламбуров, семантических ассоциаций, разрушенных структурно-семантических стереотипов) – типологически маркированное явление. Однако типологическая маркированность не исключает маркированности идиостилистической и общеэстетической. Один и тот же элемент или прием может быть одновременно закодирован несколькими эстетическими кодами: универсальным, типологическим и индивидуальным. Степень стилистической омонимии прямо пропорциональна степени полифоничности текста. Стилистическая омонимия голосов разных героев порождает стилистическое двойничество, которое соотносится с семантическим двойничеством героев. В ситуации свободного «блуждания» высказывания между разными субъектами и переполненности высказывания значениями помимо стилистической омонимии неотъемлемым признаком полифоничного текста становится прием повтора как предельно экономный способ порождения новых смыслов и одновременно способ актуализации и вторичных смыслов (с позиций линейного развертывания текста), и исходных. При повторе происходит изменение и прагматического, и концептуального значения высказывания. Таким образом, стиль в полифонии выступает как смыслообразующая и смыслопреобразующая сила, которая прямо, не опосредованно участвует в создании ядерных смыслов текста.
Cafeteria Food Leftover as Potential Livestock Feed Resource in Ethiopia: A Review
Authors: Ebrahim Assen
Published: February 2023

There is a growing massive generation of cafeteria food leftover from Ethiopian public higher education institutions, hospitals, hotels, restaurants and other catering providers that could be diverted into economic opportunities. Converting cafeteria food leftover in to livestock feed is an alternative and feasible option to reduce feed cost, enhance livestock productivity and reduce environmental and health impacts. This review aimed to synthesize, discuss and document the available scientific information on cafeteria leftovers with respect to its value as source of animal feed in Ethiopia. The paper attempted to use previous studies, literatures from journals, on the nutrient composition of cafeteria food leftover and its utilization as livestock feed resource. It has been observed from earlier research works that cafeteria food leftover has high caloric value, low crude fiber and moderate crude protein content signifying its potential to be incorporated in the diets of both non-ruminant and ruminant animals. However, most of the research works focused on non-ruminant animals (poultry and pigs); suggesting the need to evaluate the potential supplementary value of cafeteria food leftover for ruminant animals. Strict regulations mechanisms should be introduced by the Ethiopian government for proper utilization of cafeteria food leftover as animal feed and reduce the risks associated with its utilization.

This article shows the call of Prophet Ibrahim to his people in cultivating the belief of monotheism through natural phenomena found in Surat al-An‘am verses 74-79. This letter talks about the efforts of Prophet Ibrâhîm in inculcating the monotheistic beliefs of his father and his people who worshiped idols and worshiped the stars, moon and sun. Where what was conveyed by Prophet Ibrahim that is contained in his mind is a strong belief and trust from the guidance of Allah swt. The verse also tells about Prophet Ibrahim, where at that time Prophet Ibrahim made the stars, moon and sun as a medium to tell his people that the stars, moon and sun are God's creation and not the god they believe in. Prophet Ibrahim lived in an environment of worshipers of the stars, moons and stars. He educated his people by adapting and adapting to the level of understanding and knowledge so that his people believed in piety to the god of the universe, Allah swt. Then he accompanied his people towards true I'tikad step by step. That is why Prophet Ibrahim when he saw the star appear, Prophet Ibrahim said "this is my god." When the star sank Prophet Ibrahim said "I do not like something that is lost." When seeing the stars sink, so say against the emergence of the sinking of the moon and the sun. Prophet Ibrahim used the method of debate and argumentation with his people which aimed to break their misguided beliefs and lead to sound beliefs by thinking using logic with clear evidence. All the words of Prophet Ibrahim in the above verse describe his thought process to teach his people to find the One True God Allah swt.
