Published: October 2024

Photovoltaic systems are increasingly gaining popularity for rooftop installations in urban areas. These devices contribute to the self-sufficiency of electricity supply and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in urban settings. In this study, we implement deep learning techniques and compare the U-Net and Attention U-Net architectures to detect rooftops in the city of Sidi Bel Abbes (North Africa) for the installation of solar panels. Contrary to trends observed in the literature and previous research, our results show that U-Net achieved a higher accuracy of 90.49%, while Attention U-Net achieved an accuracy of 89.96%. Using the U-Net method, we identified a 1.9-square-kilometer area of rooftops suitable for solar panel installation in the southern part of the town of Sidi Bel Abbes. This discovery represents a potential electrical capacity of 89 MVA, capable of largely satisfying the energy needs of the studied region. This work is a novelty, being the first study of its kind undertaken in Algeria.

Published: October 2024

Perianal fistulas, particularly trans sphincteric types, pose a significant challenge in terms of management, often requiring surgical intervention. Traditional open fistulotomy has been a common procedure, but newer techniques like the ligation of the intersphincteric fistula tract (LIFT) procedure are being explored for improved outcomes, particularly in terms of preserving continence. This study aims to compare the outcomes of open fistulotomy versus the LIFT procedure in patients with trans sphincteric perianal fistulas. Objective: To compare the clinical outcomes, healing times, recurrence rates, and continence status between patients undergoing open fistulotomy and those treated with the LIFT procedure for trans sphincteric perianal fistulas. Methods: A prospective comparative study was conducted in the General Surgery Department of Nishtar Medical Hospital, Multan, from May 2024 to August 2024. A total of 150 adult patients with trans sphincteric perianal fistulas were enrolled using consecutive sampling. The patients were randomly divided into two groups: Group A (n = 75) underwent the LIFT procedure, and Group B (n = 75) underwent fistulectomy. Postoperative follow-up was conducted weekly until wound healing and at three months after healing to assess pain scores, recurrence rates, healing time, and continence status. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS Version 25, with a significance level set at p < 0.05. Results: Among the participants, 6 patients (8%) in Group A and 8 patients (10.7%) in Group B experienced recurrent fistulas, showing no significant difference between the groups. Postoperative pain scores were similar between both groups. However, the healing time was significantly shorter in Group A (27.2 days) compared to Group B (48.1 days) (p < 0.05). Recurrence rates were higher in Group A (16%) compared to Group B (2.7%) (p < 0.05). Incontinence was observed in 10.7% of patients in Group B, while no incontinence was reported in Group A (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The LIFT procedure offers better outcomes in terms of continence preservation and shorter healing time compared to open fistulotomy in the management of trans sphincteric perianal fistulas. However, open fistulotomy showed lower recurrence rates. These findings suggest that the LIFT procedure may be preferable in patients for whom preserving continence is a priority, while open fistulotomy may be a better option in cases where recurrence prevention is the main concern.

Published: October 2024

Early intervention in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is crucial for preserving left ventricular function and improving patient outcomes. Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) has become the standard of care, and the timing of intervention significantly influences recovery and long-term prognosis. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of early successful primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) on left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in patients presenting with STEMI. Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted on 116 STEMI patients undergoing PPCI at a tertiary care hospital. The patients were categorized into two cohorts: early presenters (n=67) who received PPCI within 6 hours of symptom onset and late presenters (n=49) who received PPCI after 6 hours. Baseline characteristics, procedural outcomes, Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) flow grades, and LVEF measurements were assessed at presentation and two months post-PPCI using transthoracic echocardiography. The primary outcome was the change in LVEF from baseline to follow-up, and the secondary outcome was the distribution of TIMI flow grades achieved during PPCI. Statistical analysis was performed using appropriate tests to compare outcomes between the two groups. Results: Early presenters demonstrated significantly better outcomes compared to late presenters. At presentation, the mean LVEF in the early group was higher (45.67 ± 1.73%) compared to the late group (36.94 ± 1.25%) (p = 0.0001). At the two-month follow-up, the LVEF improved significantly in both groups, with early presenters achieving an LVEF of 56.24 ± 1.73%, which was notably higher than the LVEF of late presenters (45.12 ± 1.42%) (p = 0.0001). In terms of coronary reperfusion, 62.7% of early presenters achieved TIMI grade 3 flow compared to 26.5% of late presenters (p = 0.0001), indicating better coronary artery perfusion in the early intervention group. Conclusion: Early successful PPCI in STEMI patients is associated with superior recovery of left ventricular function and improved coronary reperfusion compared to delayed intervention. Patients who received PPCI within 6 hours of symptom onset demonstrated significantly higher LVEF at follow-up and achieved better TIMI flow grades, highlighting the critical importance of minimizing treatment delays in STEMI management.

Published: October 2024

It is well-established that apoptosis, oxidative stress, and inflammation are associated with several disorders, including chronic renal disease and hepatic disease. Oxidative stress (OS) is a major cause of death from end-stage renal disease which also contributes to atherosclerosis and cardiac issues. The present study aimed to assess the efficacy of Gum Arabic (GA) in mitigating renal damage and hepatotoxicity in rats induced by Chloropyrifos-methyl (CPM). A total of 42 male Wistar rats were divided into seven groups, with four groups (group 2 [IC], group 5 [GA1+IC]a, group 6 [GA2+IC], and group 7 [GA1+IC]b treated with CPM for eight weeks to induce hepatic and renal damage. Two models of GA administration, including the standard oral model in drinking water (15% w/v) and the oral model by gavage at a dose of 1 g/kg body weight were administered. Physiological parameters of kidney and liver functions, including urea, creatinine, AST, and ALT along with anti-oxidant factors (Melaodialdehyde, superoxide dismutase, reduced glutathione, and catalase) were measured in plasma, and homogenates of renal and hepatic tissues on day 57 of the experiment. In addition, histopathological examination was conducted on liver and kidney tissues using hematoxylin and eosin stain to evaluate the efficacy of GA on damaged tissues. Gum Arabic was found to significantly reduce CPM toxic effects in the liver and kidney in groups treated with CPM as liver and kidney parameters were reduced to normal levels. Furthermore, GA reduced histological indicators of inflammation, fibrosis, and apoptosis, as well as renal morphological damage. Additionally, it reduced OS in liver and kidney homogenates. In conclusion, GA effectively reduced the damage that CPM inflicted on liver and kidney tissue by stabilizing physiological parameters to normal levels and repairing cellular structures damaged by OS.

Published: October 2024

An incision wound is a wound caused by being sliced. Two ingredients that play a key role in the wound-healing process are glucomannan and acemannan, which are rich in polysaccharides and growth hormones. Growth hormones stimulate fibroblast activity and proliferation. The present study involved 35 Sprague Dawley male rats, aged 2-3 months old and weighing 200-300 grams. The study comprised seven groups including, negative control group (G1), positive control (aquades, G2), betadine 10% (G3), gel base (0.5 mg, G4), gel base + sodium metabisulfite 0.2 gr (G5), gel base + Aloe vera 5% (G6), and gel base + Aloe vera 5% + sodium metabisulfite 0.2 gr (G7). Each group had five replications. Initially, a 4-cm incision was made on the dorsal skin of each rat. The study lasted 15 days with observations made on days 3, 7, and 15. After the observation period, the rats were anesthetized and then terminated to collect skin tissues for microscopic examination. The tissue samples were then stained immunohistochemically to assess fibroblast growth factor (FGF) expressions. The results showed that the highest FGF expression was observed in the 5% Aloe vera + 2% metabisulfite group (G7), while the lowest FGF expression was in the negative control group (G1). It is concluded that Aloe vera L. extract gel at 5% + 2% metabisulfite (G7) significantly enhances the expression of FGF.

Solid-state fermentation (SSF) offers a sustainable method for enhancing the nutritional quality of agricultural residues such as red rice bran. This study aimed to determine the optimal temperature and duration for SSF of red rice bran, focusing specifically on increasing the crude protein (CP) content and reducing the crude fiber (CF) content. SFF of rice bran with Aspergillus niger (A. niger) USM F4 was conducted over 14 consecutive days at three different temperatures (25°C, 35°C, and 45°C). A total of 63 samples of rice bran were divided into three temperature groups, each containing 21 samples. Three samples per group were collected at 48-hour intervals over the 14-day fermentation period. The fermentation process for the collected samples at 48-hour intervals was halted by oven drying at 60°C for 24 hours. The fermented products were subjected to proximate analysis for crude protein (CP), ash, ether extract (EE), and crude fiber (CF) contents using the methods outlined by the Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC). The results revealed a significant effect of temperature and fermentation duration on CP, ash, EE, and CF content when compared to the unfermented rice bran kept at room temperature (25oC). The peak values of CP and the highest degradation of CF across all temperature levels were observed on day 10 while the maximum increase in ash and EE content occurred on day 8. Among the temperature conditions, the highest CP values and the lowest CF values were recorded at 35°C. Conversely, the lowest improvements in CP and CF degradation were observed at 25°C on day 10. In conclusion, the optimal conditions for SSF of rice bran with A. niger to enhance CP content and degrade CF are a temperature of 35°C and a fermentation duration of 10 days.

Ceftazidime is a beta-lactam that is used in the treatment of bacterial infections in humans and companion animals, such as dogs and cats. It is prescribed to treat gram-negative infections, especially those caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This study aimed to compare the pharmacokinetics of ceftazidime using a microbiological assay to evaluate the adequacy of the proposed dosage regimens for susceptible gram-negative bacteria. For this purpose, five healthy mongrel male dogs, with a mean age of four years and an average weight of 19.1 kg, were administered a single intravenous bolus dose of ceftazidime (20 mg/kg). Plasma concentrations were measured using a microbiological assay, and dosage regimens were established by integrating pharmacokinetics data with pharmacodynamics parameters. The results showed that ceftazidime was rapidly distributed to the peripheral tissues (0.189 L/kg), with a half-life of 1.15 hours and a clearance rate of 0.166 L/hr./kg. The results obtained from the pharmacokinetics-pharmacodynamic integration suggested 20 mg/kg q8 hours of ceftazidime for susceptible gram-negative bacteria with a Minimum Inhibitory Concentration of ≤ 8 µg/ml, and 20 mg /kg q12 hours of ceftazidime for susceptible gram-negative bacteria with a Minimum Inhibitory Concentration of ≤ 4 µg/ml. In conclusion, a mild correlation was observed between the dogs’ weight and the ceftazidime half-life, which led to an adjustment of the proposed dosage regimen to 20 mg/kg q8 hours.

Published: October 2024

Canine parvovirus (CPV) infection is still common among dogs, leading to severe disease with high mortality. The potential of a local isolate of CPV as an effective vaccine to prevent the disease warrants investigation. This study aimed to determine the antibody response in mice against a Bali isolate of CPV propagated in the Madin-Darby Canine Kidney (MDCK) cell culture. The virus was purified using polyethylene glycol (PEG)-6000 and mixed with an Aluminum hydroxide adjuvant. Fifteen 7-week female mice were divided into three treatment groups: treatment group 1 (PEG-purified virus and Adjuvant), treatment group 2 (crude unpurified virus and adjuvant), and treatment group 3 (adjuvant without virus), with five replicates per group. The Bali isolate of CPV was successfully replicated in MDCK cells, achieving a titer of 210-211 hemagglutination (HA) units after eight serial passages through the cell culture. The virus was confirmed as CPV by immunocytochemistry test using a monoclonal antibody and hemagglutination inhibition (HI) test using chicken anti-CPV polyclonal antibody. Following the first immunization, the antibody endpoint titer in mice immunized with PEG-purified CPV (5.6) was significantly higher than those immunized with crude unpurified CPV (4.2) and adjuvant without CPV (1.4). Similarly, after the second immunization, the antibody endpoint titer in mice immunized with PEG-purified CPV (7.6) also remained significantly higher than those immunized with crude unpurified CPV (6.4) and adjuvant without CPV (0.8). Significant increases in antibody endpoint titer were observed after the second immunization in mice immunized with PEG-purified CPV and crude unpurified CPV, but not in those given adjuvant without CPV. The Bali isolate of CPV propagated in MDCK cell culture induced a robust antibody response in mice, suggesting it’s a potential as an alternative vaccine candidate for preventing CPV infection in dogs.

The manipulation of follicular waves through hormonal treatments, such as estrogen administration, plays a crucial role in optimizing in-vivo oocyte collection for assisted reproductive technologies. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of two specific types of estrogen on follicular wave dynamics and their impact on in-vivo oocyte collection in Brown Swiss cows. Fourteen cows, in their first lactation, weighing approximately 340 kg were randomly assigned to one of two treatments including T1 (estradiol cypionate) and T2 (estradiol benzoate). Both treatments were administered at 1.2 mg of estrogen, at day 0 of the experiment. All Brown Swiss cows were provided with a diet entirely consisting of alfalfa grazing. On day 7, follicular wave dynamics were assessed using a DP-50 vet ultrasound device equipped with a 7.5 MHz transducer for transvaginal follicular aspiration guidance. Follicle counts were categorized into three size ranges including 2-4 mm (small), 4-8 mm (medium), and greater than 8 mm (large). Additionally, the quantity and quality (viable oocytes) of the collected oocytes were evaluated by the Ovum Pick Up (OPU) team for oocyte viability on day 7. The study assessed the follicular dynamics (number of follicles) and efficiency of oocyte collection (viable oocytes) in cows treated with Estradiol Cypionate (T1) and Estradiol Benzoate (T2). The average number of small, medium-sized, and large follicles size were 6.048 ± 6.037, 3.16 ± 2.01, and 0.53 ± 0.67 respectively. The total number of follicles was 9.59 ± 3.56. The mean number of viable oocytes recovered was 3.024 ± 1.66, while the mean number of non-viable oocytes was 1.47 ± 1.01. The results indicated no significant differences between treatments in the size of small, medium, and large follicles, nor in the total number of follicles and viable oocytes recovered. However, a significant difference was observed in the number of non-viable oocytes recovered, with a higher mean in T2 (1.86) compared to T1 (1.09). The results indicated an adequate follicular response and viable oocyte recovery in both treatment groups (estradiol cypionate and estradiol benzoate). However, variations in oocyte viability were observed, with estradiol cypionate showing a slight advantage.

Authors: Lizcano Juan D. , Sherman Matthew B. , Tarabichi Saad , Baker Colin M. , Reddy Yashas , Austin Matthew S.
Published: October 2024

Introduction:

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis is the standard of care after total joint arthroplasty. However, there have been changes in the prevalence of certain medication classes used by institutions over time driven by the literature and national clinical practice guidelines. The purpose of this study was to analyze the patterns of VTE medications over the past 10 years at our institution.

Methods:

We identified 25,095 patients who underwent a primary total joint arthroplasty between 2012 and 2022. Medications for VTE prophylaxis included aspirin, warfarin, unfractioned heparin (UFH), low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH), factor-Xa inhibitors (FXa), and antiplatelet agents different from aspirin and thrombin inhibitors. Tranexamic acid use was recorded. The rates of symptomatic VTE were calculated and categorized as deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism.

Results:

Venous thromboembolism rates decreased from 1.1% in 2012 to 0.2% in 2022 and ranged between 0.4% and 1.2% during the ten-year period. Although VTE incidence decreased in the past 4 years, an isolated increase was noted in 2021(1%). In 2012, the use of aspirin, warfarin, FXa, and UFH were 52.1%, 30.7%, 0%, and 16.2%, respectively, whereas in 2022, the rates for the same medications were 83.3%, 0.3%, 10.4%, and 1.8%, respectively. The use of LMWH, thrombin inhibitors, and other antiplatelet agents had minimal variation, and none of these medications surpassed 5% during this period. The aspirin dose changed from 325 mg in 2012 (96.5%) to 81 mg in 2022 (98.8%). Similarly, TXA use increased from 30.8% in 2012 to 84.9% in 2022.

Conclusion:

In the past 10 years, our institution has transitioned from warfarin, UFH, and high-dose aspirin to low-dose aspirin and FXa, exhibiting acceptably low deep vein thrombosis and diminishing pulmonary embolism rates during that time.

La santé publique est à de multiples égards tributaire du temps qu’il fait et du climat. Il s’ensuit que le réchauffement en cours pourrait avoir un impact non négligeable sur la répartition spatiale et l’incidence de nombreuses maladies. Mais les exemples fournis par la littérature sont loin d’emporter la conviction. C’est ainsi que le lien entre le changement climatique et le paludisme s’apparente à un faux problème dont on parle beaucoup, alors qu’il existe de vrais problèmes dont on parle peu. Trop souvent, l’attention se focalise sur les seuls effets défavorables et l’on sous-estime la faculté d’adaptation des populations. En outre, les paramètres météorologiques ne peuvent suffire à cerner les risques météoropathologiques : les facteurs démographiques, sociaux, économiques et politiques s’avèrent déterminants dans la dynamique épidémiologique de la plupart des maladies. La nécessité ne s’impose pas moins de définir sans plus attendre des stratégies efficaces d’adaptation, prenant en compte tout l’éventail des évolutions climatiques possibles.

Violence against women is a price paid by society as a whole: (Iraq after 2003 as an example)

In 2003, Iraq experienced a regime change. This change and the events that followed have increased the vulnerabilities faced by Iraqi women and girls during the conflict period and beyond. The lack of security for women in Iraq is considered one of the main factors hindering the achievement of gender equality, which hinders peace-building processes in society. In the first half of 2021 alone, about 15,000 women were exposed to domestic violence, whether by family members such as husbands, fathers and children, or by relatives. This number refers to cases that required security intervention, without considering the number of hidden cases inside homes. Violence against women is not limited to domestic violence, as women's groups and civil society activists who emerged as leaders after 2003 were constantly threatened. These threats come either directly through exposure to danger, or indirectly through attempts to undermine their efforts towards peaceful activism and advocacy for rights. This reflects the difficult situation that women face in Iraq, where achieving equality and building a peaceful society is considered a challenge that requires great efforts to overcome. These challenges are numerous and complex.” The economic and political conditions, wars, and terrorism that Iraqi society experienced after 2003 underscore the severity of this problem, requiring active efforts to change these social dynamics and improve the status of women.

O estudo aborda a problemática das espécies exóticas invasoras na Área de Proteção Ambiental (APA) do Maracanã, em São Luís, Maranhão. O objetivo principal foi analisar os impactos dessas espécies no ecossistema local. A pesquisa utilizou a abordagem geossistêmica, com coleta de dados em campo através de transectos e mapeamento da distribuição dessas espécies. Foram identificadas sete espécies invasoras, sendo a Robinia pseudoacacia e Albizia lebbeck as mais prevalentes. Essas espécies demonstraram a capacidade de reduzir a biodiversidade nativa, causando degradação ambiental. A ausência de controle e fiscalização adequados favoreceu a expansão dessas plantas, comprometendo a integridade ecológica da área. O estudo conclui que é urgente implementar estratégias de manejo para controlar as invasões, recuperar a vegetação nativa e preservar o ecossistema da APA do Maracanã.
O INSTAGRAM COMO SUPORTE PARA O DRAMATÚRGICO: UMA REVISÃO DE LITERATURA
Authors: Silva Gláucia Moraes Jerônimo da
Published: October 2024

A vida em sociedade vem sendo afetada pela digitalização do mundo e os avanços tecnológicos têm se tornado impactantes em todos os setores da experiência humana. Diante disso, as transformações estimulam a busca por resistir a uma era marcada pela manifestação midiática. Aproximando isso ao campo das artes e a sua diligência por caber nas dinâmicas de uma linguagem que constantemente se atualiza, pretende-se visualizar os caminhos das dramaturgias nos novos espaços criados pelas mídias sociais. Assim, este estudo investiga a experiência dramatúrgica no Instagram, explorando essa rede social como suporte para as criações dramáticas. Com base em Rajewsky (2012), Cluver (2012) e Ellestrom (2017), a pesquisa tem como abordagem teórica os estudos sobre a Intermidialidade, um campo de investigação que aborda as interações e as inter-relações entre as mídias. Este trabalho é uma revisão da literatura, pretendendo-se identificar as potencialidades do Instagram como um suporte para o gênero dramatúrgico e reunir outros estudos que apontem os rumos das criações dramáticas. O presente artigo encontrou os percursos, direcionamentos e as possibilidades existentes entre o digital e o dramático. Desse modo, conclui-se que a dramaturgia nesse universo digital está encontrando caminhos e sentidos para a sua (re)criação. Objetiva-se, então, descobrir quais caminhos são esses.

As conclusões reforçam que a aplicação de um tratamento correto e periódico é essencial para a manutenção da funcionalidade, estética e durabilidade dos pisos de concreto polido.
Connections Across the Globe: The Colonial Project of Gender and the Modern/Colonial System of Gender in conversation.
Authors: Wallace Leandro A.
Published: October 2024

The current paper serves as a first approach to the possible connections and relationships between the theories that emerge from the lived experiences in Abya Yala and the continent of Australia. I will approach the Sistema Moderno/Colonial de Género as proposed by la Maestra M. Lugones and the Colonial Project of Gender by Prof. S. O’Sullivan as the main theories put in conversation. From their understandings, as well as propositioned by theorists from both territories, I will propose a path to be able to retrieve and recognize the resistances to the colonialities, as they appear in video games, by queer Indigenous people.
