Taking into account the results of monitoring of specialized Internet resources (analysis of scientific and methodological, special and reference literature), the members of the research group established, that the urgent issue of organizing a systematic analytical review of the components of the technical and tactical preparation of female athletes who specialize in combat sports in accordance with their world rating in the chosen type of martial arts is devoted to the insufficient number of scientific studies, this, in turn, emphasizes the relevance and practical component of the chosen direction of scientific research.

The purpose of the study is an analytical and statistical analysis of the technical preparation of highly qualified female athletes who specialize in Sambo wrestling – finalists of the 2022 World Championship (Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan). Research methods: abstraction, measurement, expert evaluation, survey, comparison, observation, etc.

As a result of the theoretical research, the members of the research group conducted an analytical and statistical analysis of the technical readiness of highly qualified athletes (women) (specialization in Sambo wrestling) – finalists of the 2022 World Championship (Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan). We consider it expedient to take the results of the theoretical research into consideration by leading coaches who specialize in Sambo wrestling (sports section). We recommend focusing the attention of the leading coaches on increasing the indicators of activity and efficiency of the competitive actions of female athletes (women who specialize in Sambo wrestling), namely: development and improvement of technical and tactical preparation of fellow fighters (in the rack: focus on improving the technique of undercuts and hooks; on the ground floor: focus on performing pain techniques on the legs after the opponent is fully restrained); reducing the number of warnings for violation of the rules, through a theoretical study of the current Rules (practical training of complex technical and tactical combinations); expanding the arsenal of crown technical actions; development of individual tactical schemes for conducting a competitive fight in the rack and parterre with the use of restraints and pain techniques on the arms and legs; improving indicators of the subsystem of biological control of sportswomen; development of general physical and special physical readiness of wrestlers.

Prospects for further research in the chosen field of scientific intelligence include analytical and statistical analysis of the technical readiness of highly qualified Combat Sambo wrestlers, finalists of the 2022 World Championship (Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan).

Authors: Pontes Azevedo Angela Rita , Ramos dos Reis Izadora , Gomes de Araújo Rodolfo José , Teles e Teles Beatriz de Jesus , Pagliarini Jorge Luis
Published: March 2023

Introdução:A laserterapia de baixa potência tem sido classificada como uma alternativa promissora com o objetivo de melhorar a resposta inflamatória, o desconforto pós-operatório e acelerar a resposta fisiológica para melhor cicatrização após cirurgias orais. O objetivo deste estudo foi compreender o emprego adequado do laser de baixa potência na cicatrização e analgesia pós-operatória em cirurgias oral menor. Metodologia: Trata-se de uma revisão de literatura, nos padrões da revisão integrativa. Desse modo, a pesquisa foi realizada nas bases de dados: Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), Scientific Electronic Library Online (Scielo) e Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), através do descritores: “Biostimulation”, “laser”, “laser therapy” e “Low Level Laser Therapy”. O cruzamento desses descritores nas bases citadas ocorreu através dos operadores booleanos “AND” e “OUR”. Os critérios de inclusão foram: artigos originais de estudos primários, nas línguas: português, espanhol e inglês, publicados em periódicos científicos nos anos de 2017 à 2022.  A análise conciliou 12 estudos selecionados e após uma verificação minuciosa, apenas 06 se designaram dentro dos critérios de inclusão. Resultados: A utilização adequada do laser de baixa potência traz benefícios, no pós-operatório de cirurgias orais, como suporte no reestabelecimento biológico do tecido, acelerando a cicatrização, promovendo a analgesia como melhora do desconforto pós- cirúrgico e também na utilização a terapia na prevenção da mucosite oral em pacientes acometidos por osteossarcoma.Conclusão: O laser de baixa potência é um mecanismo eficaz, quando utilizado com frequência, dose e tempo de aplicação corretos, para acelerar a cicatrização e promover redução da dor no pós-operatório de pequenas cirurgias orais, porém, potências muito baixas ou muito altas podem resultar em efeitos adversos efeitos.

Authors: Castro González Maripaz , Recinos Coreas Tatiana Raquel , Sanabria Quesada Maria Fernanda
Published: March 2023

El retinoblastoma es un tumor intraocular maligno más frecuente a nivel global, derivado del tejido neuroectodérmico, que ocurre entre el nacimiento y los seis años de edad. Se origina en la retina neural y puede ser unilateral (60%) o bilateral (40%). Se asocia a factores genéticos hereditarios como la mutación de ambos alelos en el gen RB1.
Su signo distintivo es la leucocoria, seguido de estrabismo y en casos avanzados proptosis.
Su diagnóstico se realiza por medio de fondo de ojo, pero estudios como ultrasonido ocular, tomografía o resonancia magnética ayudan a evaluar su extensión. El tratamiento se basa según el estadiaje, valorando así su lateralidad, ubicación, tamaño y extensión. Entre los principales métodos están la quimioterapia, terapias locales, radioterapia y enucleación.
Which of the metadata with relevance for bibliometrics are the same and which are different when switching from Microsoft Academic Graph to OpenAlex?
Authors: Scheidsteger Thomas , Haunschild Robin
Published: March 2023

With the announcement of the retirement of Microsoft Academic Graph (MAG), the non-profit organization OurResearch announced that they would provide a similar resource under the name OpenAlex. Thus, we compare the metadata with relevance to bibliometric analyses of the latest MAG snapshot with an early OpenAlex snapshot. Practically all works from MAG were transferred to OpenAlex preserving their bibliographic data publication year, volume, first and last page, DOI as well as the number of references that are important ingredients of citation analysis. More than 90% of the MAG documents have equivalent document types in OpenAlex. Of the remaining ones, especially reclassifications to the OpenAlex document types journal-article and book-chapter seem to be correct and amount to more than 7%, so that the document type specifications have improved significantly from MAG to OpenAlex. As another item of bibliometric relevant metadata, we looked at the paper-based subject classification in MAG and in OpenAlex. We found significantly more documents with a subject classification assignment in OpenAlex than in MAG. On the first and second level, the classification structure is nearly identical. We present data on the subject reclassifications on both levels in tabular and graphical form. The assessment of the consequences of the abundant subject reclassifications on field-normalized bibliometric evaluations is not in the scope of the present paper. Apart from this open question, OpenAlex seems to be overall at least as suited for bibliometric analyses as MAG for publication years before 2021 or maybe even better because of the broader coverage of document type assignments.

Although the use of blood count is routine in companion animals, they are not routinely used for clinical evaluation of wild birds. The scarcity of information on reference values limits its use in Veterinary Medicine. Laboratory tests can serve as an important tool in monitoring the health of birds, diagnosing diseases, preoperative evaluation, and in treatment, mainly due to the presentation of very nonspecific signs in the presence of disorders and diseases in these species. In recent years, there has been an increase in pet bird medical clinic care and, consequently, a greater need for the quality of services. Therefore, this study aims to determine the main reference intervals in the blood count of galah cockatoos, and scarlet-chested, red-rumped, Bourke’s and Turquoise parrots. These birds are from a private farm located in the region of Concórdia – SC, Brazil. Claw clipping was performed on 10 birds of each species, male and female, adults, and a blood smear was made from a drop of blood. The average of leukocytes, thrombocytes and erythrocytes, as well as the standard deviation and coefficient of variation (CV) were calculated to estimate the hematological values, in addition to the differential determination of leukocytes.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of fentanyl to reduce the induction dose of propofol and the quality of induction in dogs premedicated with morphine. The sedative effect promoted by morphine and its action on some physiological variables were also investigated. Twenty-two healthy dogs had their baseline values (BL) of the physiological variables and the degree of sedation recorded. Then, received morphine (0.3 mg/kg) intramuscularly. Ten minutes after morphine administration (T10), all variables were reassessed. Dogs were randomly assigned to receive intravenously: fentanyl (2.5 µg/kg) or saline (3.0 mL), followed by propofol (2 mg/kg/minute), groups FP and SP, respectively. The dose of propofol required for intubation and the quality of anesthetic induction were recorded. Morphine administration resulted in vomiting and no sedation. Heart rate significantly decreased at T10 in FP and in SP groups, compared to BL. The total dose of propofol used for anesthetic induction was 6.4 ± 1.7 and 5.8 ± 1.6 [mean ± standard deviation] mg/kg in FP and SP, respectively, with no differences between groups (P > 0.05). The quality of anesthetic induction score was excellent in all groups. During anesthetic induction, some dogs had apnea and muscle stiffness. Fentanyl was not effective in reducing the propofol requirement in the anesthetic induction of dogs premedicated with morphine. Anesthetic induction was excellent in both groups, and may be accompanied by apnea and muscle stiffness. Morphine resulted in no sedation, minimal changes in physiological parameters and vomiting.

Published: March 2023

Background: Obesity is the most common health concern among the public worldwide. Weight gain among students occurred during their college years, when physical activity and dietary patterns were observed to change. The Health Belief Model (HBM) depicts the role of anticipating and justifying the causes of a person's transformation or maintenance of specific health behaviors. Objective: This study determines the prevalence of obesity and the differences in weight management behaviours with gender among university students. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Puncak Alam Campus, Selangor, involving 377 respondents (122 males and 255 females) aged 18-26 years from February to April 2021. Health Belief Model (HBM) questionnaire on Weight Management Behaviors was used as a research tool in this study. Results: The findings showed that the majority of the respondents have a normal Body Mass Index (BMI) (n=214, 56.8%), followed by overweight (n=66, 17.5%), underweight (n=63, 16.7%) and obese (n=34, 9.0%). Independent t-test showed that female students significantly have more perceived susceptibility and cues to action than males (p<0.05). While, male students significantly have a high score in weight management behaviour for perceived benefits, perceived self-efficacy in dieting, and behavioural intention of weight management compared to female (p<0.05). Conclusion: Health interventions such as nutrition education regarding healthy food preparation and exercise schedule, including duration and types of activity, should increase female students' motivation and confidence in managing weight. Besides, an awareness campaign regarding the risk of obesity focusing on the male students must be created to generate awareness and prevention of obesity.
Availability and Burden of Family Caregivers in Caring for a Recurrent Stroke Survivor in the Community During a Pandemic
Authors: O. Uy Huemer
Published: March 2023

Family caregivers significantly influence the ability of stroke survivors to thrive in the community despite their disability. Recently, family caregivers have been faced with the challenges of fulfilling their domestic duties while acting as the coordinators of medical and nursing care for their patients. Caring for a family member with disability is a challenging task that may even be magnified by the presence of calamities and state emergencies. This paper examined the burdens and challenges experienced by family caregivers during the COVID-19 threat. This research utilized an illustrative case study approach, which typically focuses on one or two instances of an event to illustrate a phenomenon while highlighting the contextual elements of the case. It was discovered that the emergence of a highly contagious and deadly virus required a major adjustment in the lives of family caregivers caring for family members with disabilities, especially in communities where local transmission is rampant. Despite having local policies that have been set in place to prevent the continuing transmission of new COVID-19 infections, these restrictions highly affected the way of life in the communities and accentuated the lack of community resources for medical emergencies.
Exploring Social Stigma and Awareness Towards Tuberculosis in a Municipality in Southern Philippines: A Mixed-Methods Study
Authors: Adiong Sittie Jamiah , A. Bangcola Ashley , Macalnas Alibasher
Published: March 2023

Background: Social stigma and awareness are frequently associated with the low rate of clinical diagnosis, case detection, and successful treatment of patients with Tuberculosis (TB). In the Philippines, however, there have been few studies on TB stigma and awareness. Objective: The purpose of this study is to look into the level of social stigma and awareness about tuberculosis among patients, their relatives, and the community in a municipality in the southern Philippines. Methods: An institution-based survey was conducted among 244 participants from various Regional Health Units (RHU) to assess social stigma and awareness of the deadly disease. Participants were divided into three groups: patients diagnosed with tuberculosis (TB), family members of the patients, and community members. The researcher used an exploratory sequential mixed method design to get a deep understanding of the statistical relationships between the variables and their context, collecting quantitative data first and then qualitative data. Results: The findings revealed that the patient and the patient's relatives were more aware of the causes, clinical presentation, treatment, and mode of treatment of tuberculosis than members of the community, with a general mean of 1.60. This is attributed to the family's role as the primary caregiver, as well as a lack of general information and advertising about TB in the community. On the other hand, all three groups experienced high levels of social stigma, with a general mean of 1.90. Fear of transmission and discrimination were identified as the primary reasons. There is no significant relationship found between respondents' level of awareness and social stigma, which can be interpreted to mean that the stigma persists regardless of awareness. Conclusion: The study reveals that general awareness of TB among community members stems from rumour and gossip rather than legitimate sources. As a result, the patient's and family members' social stigma remains high, which can contribute to unsuccessful case detection and treatment. It is thus recommended that policymakers strengthen programmes aimed at identifying and addressing the problems that lead to stigma.

Published: March 2023

Background: Pregnancy Induced Hypertension (PIH) is a significant contributor to various pregnancy complications. Therefore, an effective way to avoid possible fatal complications of the disease is to create awareness among pregnant women. Pregnant women who are aware of the danger signs of pregnancy will take responsibility for seeking medical attention if any complications arise. However, there is a lack of study done at public hospitals in Selangor regarding the knowledge level of PIH. Aim: To determine the level of knowledge regarding PIH among pregnant mothers. Methods: A cross-sectional design with systematic sampling was used. A total of 283 pregnant mothers who attended the antenatal clinic were recruited. All data were analysed using the Statistical Analysis Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20. Results: The results showed that only 32.9% of the respondents had good knowledge of PIH, while 67.1% had poor knowledge regarding PIH. Most of them had a higher level of education, such as tertiary (62.9%), two-thirds were employed (68.2%), the majority were Malays (89.8%), had children between 2 and 4 years of age (36.4%), and 30.0% were currently pregnant for 16 to 20 weeks. Meanwhile, 53.0% of the respondents attended antenatal check-ups fewer than eight times. The result indicated a significant association between parity and level of knowledge on PIH (χ²= 7.848; p= 0.049). Conclusion: The majority of pregnant mothers have poor knowledge of PIH. Health education on PIH is needed to reduce the rate of delay in seeking treatment.

The present study analyses the effects of aromatherapy using Melissa Officinalis essential oil, applied by massage to the hands and forearms of patients suffering from Alzheimer's disease. and to evaluate the effect on their perceived overall quality of life. Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted in two nursing homes in Italy in 2018. Data were collected through individual qualitative structured interviews based on the Quality of Life in Alzheimer’s Disease (QoL-AD) questionnaire and the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE). The authors referred to STROBE guidelines for quality reporting of observational studies. Results: Treatment with Melissa Officinalis showed positive effects on all patients after the 12th week of treatment. The results were most evident in patients in class 3 MMSE. However, class 4 MMSE patients also benefited from the treatment. Conclusions: The aromatherapy treatment delivered in this observational study, using Melissa Officinalis essential oil applied to hands and forearms, showed an improvement in the quality of life of the patients living in two different nursing homes. Due to the small sample size in this study, it is suggested that more research be done on the effects and effectiveness of aromatherapy with Melissa Officinalis essential oil for Alzheimer's disease patients.
Knowledge and Skills in Triage Assessment among Nurses in Emergency Department Hospital Saudi Arabia
Authors: Ariffin Nor Aini Binti , Mat Samsiah Binti , Yahya Fatimah
Published: March 2023

Introduction: Triage is the nursing process and the first step for patients who came to or were brought to the Emergency Department (ED). As hospitals have more patients, the ED becomes overcrowded with non-emergency patients. An inaccurate triage decision not only delays patient treatment but also incurs unnecessary expenses for the facility. Patients in the waiting area should be reassessed to determine their conditions. Treatment for patients on a first-come, first-served basis without regard to the triage acuity level of their illnesses for severity, may result in delays for critically ill patients. The rationale of triage in the ED is to prioritize incoming patients and identify those who need to be seen first. Methods: Descriptive study using cross-sectional questionnaires for non-random sampling. Quantitative approaches were chosen as the study type. Questionnaires were completed by 41 of the selected sample size. The aim of the study is to determine the level of knowledge and skills in triage assessment among nurses in Emergency Department Hospitals in Saudi Arabia. Results: Response rates of 100% were obtained from the study. 19 (46.3%) of the participants were aged between 31-40 years old. Most of the respondents have Bachelor’s in nursing which are 38 (92.7%). Respondents with experience in ED of about 11-20 years are 18 (43.9%) of the total. 100% of respondents say that they are familiar with the Canadian Triage and Acuity Scale (CTAS) triage primary assessment. 100% will change the CTAS level when the patient deteriorates, and 100% agreed to give Paracetamol to the patient with a body temperature of more than 38 degrees. Seven skill level questions were completed with 100% correct answers. There is no significant relationship between triage knowledge and triage skill Conclusion: This finding indicates that there is a high level of knowledge and skill in triage assessment. Hence high knowledge and good skill should be maintained by continuing education, in-service, and training.

Published: March 2023

Background: Stunting is a condition of growth failure in children (body and brain growth) due to malnutrition for a long time. Thus, children are shorter than normal children of their age and have delayed thinking ability. Stunting remains a major public health problem in low and middle-income countries, including Indonesia. Stunting or shortness problems in toddlers show an average of 23.4%, with the lowest stunting prevalence area in South Tangerang City. Aim: This study was to determine factors affecting community knowledge regarding stunting in the South Tangerang. Methods: This research is observational and analytical study with a cross-sectional design. The statistical analysis was using the Slovin formula, with a total of 213 people. The research subject must be at least 15 years of age, literate, own a smartphone, and is willing to participate in this survey. Results: Analysis shows that the relationship between knowledge about stunting and age has a p value of 0.020; the p value for education is 1.000; the p value for marriage is 0.746; the p value for information exposure in stunting is 1.000; and the p value for media information is 1.000. Conclusion: Age has a significant association with knowledge about stunting. Education, marriage, exposure to information about stunting, and media information are not predisposing factors related to knowledge about stunting. Recommendation: Education about stunting can start at an early age and last until old age. Education can be provided through counselling in schools or even by setting up a special nutritional preparation course to prevent stunting in adolescents, pregnant women, and even the elderly.

Published: March 2023

Backgroud: The difficulty of curbing the incidence of HIV has long been associated with stigma, which has been linked to the lack of knowledge, poor attitudes, and discriminatory behaviours of healthcare workers. The study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes, behavior, and care barriers of healthcare workers from highly urbanised cities towards HIV/AIDS. Methods: A total of 171 healthcare workers in Leyte province were included in the study. The study utilized a self-report questionnaire and was conducted in the early quarter of 2021. Spearman rank-order correlation analysis was employed to answer the study's hypotheses. Results: Results revealed that the participants have moderate knowledge of HIV/AIDS and good work attitudes but have prejudicial attitudes and discriminatory behaviors toward their HIV/AIDS-related care. Furthermore, it was found that there is a positive correlation between knowledge and attitude, as well as attitude toward behaviors. Notably, results revealed no correlation between knowledge of HIV/AIDS and perceived behaviors. Conclusion: It can be concluded that health workers in highly urbanized cities like Leyte province have essential knowledge, attitude, and behaviors in providing care to clients suspected or confirmed of HIV/AIDS. A good attitude towards HIV suggests a likelihood of a health care provider having sufficient knowledge of HIV and practising caring behaviors.

The β-1 adrenergic receptor belongs to GPCRs which communicates via the Gs-α subunit, thus initiating the cAMPdependent pathway through the upregulation of adenylyl cyclase. The activation of the β-1 adrenergic receptor in the heart triggers the activation of the sinoatrial node and atrioventricular nodes, hence escalating heart rate (positive chronotropic) and contractility (positive inotropic). Flavonoids and terpenes have been reported for their inotropic effect in animal models. In this work, we examined the chronotropic and inotropic activity of Curcuma heyneana Valeton and Zijp rhizome by determining the molecular interaction between the bioactive compounds, namely, αsitosterol, stigmasterol, quercetin, and curcumenol, with human G-protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 (hGRK2), and in vitro study of C. heyneana extract on the heart of crab-eating Fejervarya cancrivora frog. Moreover, the total phenol content in the extract and the radical scavenging activity were also determined. The results indicated that C. heyneana positively contains phenolic compounds and weakly inhibits the radicals of the DPPH reagent (IC50 = 320.0 µg/mL). The molecular docking study revealed that α-sitosterol and quercetin have the best interaction with important residues in hGRK2, similar to that of the enzyme’s inhibitor. C. heyneana decreases the heart rate and increases the heart contractility of crab-eating F. cancrivora frogs. Based on these findings, C. heyneana is the potential in helping the heart pump more blood to fulfill the oxygen demands, but with lesser heartbeats, thus it is useful for patients with cardiovascular disorders.

In an effort towards the discovery of new chemical entities to combat antimicrobial resistance, a series of novel 2,4,5- triphenyl imidazole derivatives were designed to target lanosterol 14α demethylase to screen the molecules for their antimicrobial potential. The designed molecules were synthesized and characterized by MS, FTIR, and NMR. The compounds were screened for their antimicrobial properties at a concentration of 100 µg/ml against Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, and Aspergillus Niger. Compounds A9, B9, C9, and D9 were found to be active against Escherichia coli at the tested concentration. Computational studies including XP docking, induced fit docking, and MMGBSA were performed to assess their ability to bind at the active site.

The manufacture of biodiesel from lipids can be carried out by ex and in-situ methods. The difference lies in the continuity of lipid extraction and its transesterification into biodiesel, either separately or simultaneously. The paper reported the FAME productivity from lipid Chaetoceros calcitrans that were created by both methods. The research was started by culturing Chaetoceros calcitrans in seawater media with the addition of trace elements, it produced a dry cell weight of 15 g/L on the fifth day of fermentation. The highest yield of lipid was 61.40% (w/w) obtained when the extraction was carried out from the biomass in a mixed solvent between n-hexane and 96% ethanol (1:1) assisted by a combination of hydrothermal acid and ultrasonication treatments. The transesterification of lipid that was carried out with methanol and 6% (v/v) H2SO4 catalyst for one hour at 60oC in an ex-situ process, produced FAME of 19.15% (w/w). Meanwhile, the in-situ method which joined the lipid repealing and transesterification steps simultaneously produced 21.59% (w/w) of biodiesel. The in-situ process exhibited higher FAME than the ex-situ. The main FAME component on the biodiesel of Chaetoceros calcitrans was methyl oleic (C17H33COOCH3, C18:1(Δ9 )). With insight into the cell’s pre-treatment and simultaneous process of the in-situ method, it is feasible to apply the techniques for biodiesel production in the future

The purpose of this study was to assess the properties of liquid soap made from avocado oil and a natural foaming agent derived from the lerak fruit (Sapindus rarak). Saponification of avocado oil was carried out by mixing 100 g of avocado oil at various concentrations of KOH (20; 25; 30; 35 and 40 % w/w) at a temperature of 70 - 75°C for 2 hours. Then coffee extract and soaked lerak fruits were added, each as a fragrance and foaming agent. The parameters to examine the quality of the liquid soap included density, viscosity, free alkali, pH, and organoleptic. The results showed that KOH concentration affected the viscosity of the soap produced. Density, free alkali, and pH showed no significant difference to the changes in KOH concentration. The results of the organoleptic test pointed out that the product had good quality and was strongly acceptable at 30% KOH concentration. The values of density, viscosity, free alkali, and pH under these conditions were 1.018 gr/mL, and 0.866 kg/m.s, 0.1041% and 11 respectively. Above all, the characteristics of the product complied with the Indonesian National Standards No. 40-4058-1996.

Studies on composite proton-conducting membranes made of human hair keratin and bacterial cellulose have been done. Keratin from human hair is produced through hydrolysis using NaOH as a solvent. Composite membranes constructed of bacterial cellulose and human hair keratin had mass variations of 4.5/0.5, 4.7/0.3, and 4/1. At temperatures of 25 ºC, 40 ºC, 60 ºC, and 80 ºC, the proton-conducting composite membrane was evaluated for Fourier Transform InfraRed, X-Ray Diffraction, degree of swelling, and proton conductivity. The interaction of bacterial cellulose and human hair keratin appeared at the peak of 3000-3500 cm-1, as evidenced by functional group analysis of bacterial cellulose and human hair keratin composite membranes from Fourier Transform InfraRed. The produced composite membrane was semicrystalline in each mass variation, according to the results of the X-Ray Diffraction examination. The variant of bacterial cellulose and human hair keratin 4/1 showed the highest degree of swelling (34.09%). The composite membrane keratin made of bacterial cellulose and human hair had the maximum proton conductivity, with a variation of 4/1 and a value of 3.673 x 10-5 S/cm at a temperature of 25 ºC.

A robust, sound, and comprehensive waste management system is a fundamental aspect to achieve environmental sustainability and development. Though as individuals, people are aware and conscious of this particular aspect of waste management, there have not been any concrete steps taken to tackle the issue. As per a statistical report from World Bank on waste, about 2.01 billion tonnes of municipal solid waste is generated annually at a global scale out of which about one-third of it is not managed in an environmentally safe manner. Keeping in mind the UN General Assembly goals with respect to sustainable development for the benefit of all by 2030, it is imperative to act in ways to manage and come out with ways to treat solid waste in particular. Keratin is a key structural protein that can be found in a variety of forms in nature, including hair, feathers, nails, horn, hoofs, scales, and wool. It is also found in several hard tissues that protect the organ by providing blockage with the surroundings. Keratin, a protein, fibrous in nature has solubility issues. Keratin is tolerant towards protease enzymes like pepsin, and trypsin is due to its structure, which is protected by bonds such as disulfide and hydrogen. The waste consisting of keratinous residues, like feathers, provides carbon, nitrogen, and Sulphur source that are transformable to certain products. Keratin-rich waste possesses a high content of amino acids and, if not correctly managed, can harm the environment, water supplies, and soil. This form of waste, on the other hand, can be used for less-cost amino acid sources, can be turned into animal feeds, or used as a fertilizer. This necessitates a thorough understanding of feather structure and properties. Feathers are composed of β- keratin and melanin pigments. In addition, to strategize their control and degradation, there is a necessity to differentiate α- keratin from β-keratin. The present article summarizes the various methods of waste treatment of compounds possessing keratin, limitations of conventional methods, ecological implications, the role of microbes in Bioconversion, and ways to improve enzyme production which can ultimately be used for the management of keratinous substances. This would also cater to Sustainable development goal number 12 which includes responsible consumption as well as production including the major focus on environmentally sound ways to manage waste through either its prevention, reduction, recycling, or reuse of such solid wastes including keratin.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of using curcuminoid nanoemulsions from Curcuma xanthorrhiza rhizome extract in rats fed a high-fat diet. Thirty male Rattus norvegicus rats were prepared under the same conditions for 7 days and then induced by feeding egg yolks of 10 mL/kg body weight (BW) each for 14 days. They were then divided into 3 groups, namely the negative control group, the positive control group, and the experimental group. The treatment of each group was as follows: the negative control group was not given drugs, the positive control group was treated with simvastatin at a dose of 0.9 mg/kg, while the experimental group (groups 1, - 2, -3, and -4) were treated with curcuminoid nanoemulsion with doses of 3, 5, 7.5, and 10 mg/kg BW, consecutively every day for 26 days. Blood samples from each rat were taken before and after treatment, then a lipid profile analysis was carried out, which included cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and triglyceride levels by spectroscopic method. After 26 days of treatment, it was shown that there was an effect of giving curcuminoid nanoemulsion at a dose of 10 mg/kg BW to effectively reduce total cholesterol levels by 11.2%, triglyceride levels by 14.9%, LDL levels by 21.5% in rat blood serum. The results showed that curcuminoid nanoemulsion from C. xanthorrhiza rhizome extract has the potential to be developed as an antihypercholesterol drug.
