Published: July 2021

Background: Mastitis is a problem of dairy animals including buffaloes. Treatment failure has become a common problem and the most cited reason is antibiotic resistance. The paper presents the scenario of antibiotic resistance with special reference to multi drug resistance pattern. Methods: Microbiological assay of mastitis affected 48 milk samples was carried out using standard protocols to establish the prevalence of mastitis caused by E. coli and S. aureus. Antibiotic sensitivity test was carried out against these organisms and the whole milk culture for commonly used antibiotics. The drug resistance pattern was established. Result: The overall prevalence of mastitis was 20%. The prevalence of E. coli and S. aureus was 29.17% and 54.17% respectively. The antibiotic sensitivity revealed that E.coli isolates were 100% susceptible to tetracycline, gentamicin, enrofloxacin and streptopenicillin followed by Ceftriaxone and sulbactum combination and streptomycin (92.86%) and ceftriaxone and methicillin (85.71%). The isolates of S. aureus were 100% sensitive to only two antibiotics gentamicin and streptopenicillin. The antibiogram of whole milk culture revealed maximum susceptibility to enrofloxacin, gentamicin and streptopeniciliin (95.83% each). Multiple drug resistance has been observed in this study.

Background: Kangayam is a popular and well known cattle breed from Tamil Nadu, known for its heat tolerance and work capacities. Postoperative wound gaping is a very traumatic and painful event for any patient including voiceless animal patient. The rejuvenating effect of herbal preparation from Oomathai (Datura metal); Mathan Thailam in a wound dehiscence following hysterotomy in a Kangayam cow affected with uterine torsion is reported. Methods: A full term pregnant Kangayam cow on its second parity was presented to the Large Animal Obstetrics Unit, Veterinary Clinical Complex (VCC), Veterinary College and Research Institute (VCRI), Namakkal with colic signs for two days. On general clinical examination, the animal was dull and depressed with recurrent kicking in the abdomen with tucked up udder. Vaginal examination revealed closed cervix and rectal examination revealed left side broad ligament crossing over the cervix towards right side. The case was diagnosed as pre-cervical right side uterine torsion and Schaffer’s method of detorsion of cervix failed to dilate. Thus, hysterotomy was performed to deliver the fetus. Postoperative wound dehiscence occurred as a complication which was treated with mathan thailam. Result: The owner was directed to apply the mathan thailam externally thrice daily after regular cleaning of wound. The result is significant that the mathan thailam showed excellent rejuvenation in the wound gaping.

DECOLONIZZARE LA MENTE DEGLI ITALIANI
Authors: Eccher Christian Gianfrancov
Published: July 2021

In questo lavoro, ci occuperemo dell’estremo provincialismo che ha caratterizzato e caratterizza gli studi di italianistica. L’Italia, infatti, è un paese che ha perso il passo con la modernità già nel XV secolo, quando il resto d’Europa si apriva al fenomeno della „mondializzazione“. Dimostreremo come, da allora, l’Italia si sia rifugiata nel mito della Classicità e del Rinascimento, da cui non è riuscita a uscire neanche dopo che il paese si è unito in un’unica entità statuale. La grande emigrazione della fine del XIX e dell’inizio del XX secolo ha contribuito a sprovincializzare molti italiani, ma non l’arte, la letteratura e la critica letteraria. Questa, poi, ha fatto di tutto per rimuovere il periodo e le atrocità coloniali italiane in Africa. Nel secondo Dopoguerra, mentre in tutta Europa cominciava a prendere piede la critica al colonialismo, la borghesia italiana (che deteneva il potere economico, politico e culturale) preferiva ignorare il proprio scadaloso operato nel corno d’Africa, in Grecia e in Albania. Allo stesso tempo, ignorava la viva letteratura di frontiera, quella istriana. Proprio per questo motivo, nella seconda parte di questo lavoro ci occuperemo del romanzo dell’istriano di adozione Eros Sequi, “Le case di Pothia” uno spaccato sulla realtà del colonialismo italiano nel Dodecaneso e sulla società istriana e jugoslava degli anni Cinquanta del secolo scorso.

Prosateur subtile qui se rêvait poète, intellectuel libre et farouchement indépendant, Danilo Kiš est en contact avec la culture française depuis son enfance. Il apprend le français à l'école et commence à publier ses premières traductions du français pendant ses études à Belgrade. Engagé comme lecteur de langue serbo-croate, il séjourne à Strasbourg, Bordeaux, et Lille pour s’installer définitivement à Paris où il vit jusqu’à sa mort. Ses œuvres les plus importantes écrites en France, traduites et publiées dans les plus grandes maisons d'édition parisiennes, laisseront leur marque sur la culture française et mondiale. Par son activité, Danilo Kiš s’impose comme un point central d’échange entre deux espaces culturels: le français, qui lui ouvre la porte vers le monde et l’espace serbe, yougoslave et centre-européen. Le premier lui offre la tolérance de la ville cosmopolite et la liberté, mais aussi la politisation insupportable et la prétention inhérente au grand centre et le deuxième, la chaleur de la langue maternelle, la proximité et la sécurité, mais aussi l’environnement provincial borné, l’anarchie et la terreur politique. Combinant la théorie des transferts culturels de Michel Espagne et les théories sur la « littérature mondiale » qui supposent l’analyse des espaces culturels transnationaux de Pascale Casanova Kiš se montre comme médiateur culturel entre deux mondes.

In the Hubei region of China, a pneumonia outbreak occurred in December 2019, which was confirmed to be caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). It quickly became known as Coronavirus Disease 2019 or simply COVID-19, a pandemic that continues to devastate countries across the world. Through this COVID-19 pandemic, pharmacists across the globe have continued to offer direct patient care and provided frontline service to society. However, while the frontline staff is heralded, they are relegated to the background and overlooked most of the time. The most reachable healthcare providers are pharmacists because they can provide direct medical services despite tight regulations and restrictions related to the pandemic. During this pandemic, the involvement of pharmacists to handle COVID-19 and its complications proved to be crucial in alleviating the burden on the already strained healthcare system. They have provided very important services such as distributing medications to patients, encouraging adherence to medications for better control of chronic diseases, consulting on minor illnesses, clarifying myths regarding COVID-19, and contributing to COVID-19 screening. The treatment or management of COVID-19 was based on initial findings but is now being updated several times based on viral mutation, different studies across the globe, etc. This review focuses on recent clinical updates and tools that would help pharmacists with a more systematic approach to properly handling COVID-19 and its complications.

Published: July 2021

Human life expectancy is at present the maximum in recorded history. However, a disadvantage is that the elderly are increasingly displaying cognitive disabilities. Studies have shown that physical exercises such as calisthenics can potentially prevent disabilities. Meanwhile, existing systems for evaluating human pose focus mainly on accuracy and omit convenience and efficiency. To solve this issue, in this paper, we propose a framework for rapidly estimating three-dimensional human pose from two camera views. It is based on an evolutionary algorithm. This system can be applied straightforwardly to inexpensive smart devices and used to evaluate multiple individuals’ calisthenics with two or more smart devices.

EVALUATING COMPOSITIONAL FIDELITY AND SOURCES OF MORTALITY OF SHORELINE FISH CARCASSES IN A FRESHWATER LAKE COMMUNITY IN WESTERN CANADA
Authors: REIMCHEN T.E.
Published: July 2021

Taxonomic comparisons of death assemblages with extant communities continue to provide insight for ecological studies but whether demographic aspects such as age structure, sex ratio, and causes of mortality are accurately captured by the former remains little studied. At a 110 ha dystropic lake in western Canada, seasonal shoreline accumulations of fish carcasses were collected annually for 12 years (N=4499) during 95 full lake-circuits and analyzed for taxa, body size frequencies, sex ratio relative to live-captures and sources of mortality. Rank order of the four fish species (Gasterosteus aculeatus, Oncorhynchus clarki, O. keta, Salvelinus malma) was similar for live-captures and carcasses. Of the dominant species (G. aculeatus), modal adult body length (∼80 mm SL) was the same for carcasses and live-captures and shifted by about 10% over 30 years with parallel trends between the groups for both sexes. Age-specific body size was about 5% larger (P<0.001) in carcasses than live-captures. Carcasses were significantly female-biased (2:1) each year relative to a population sex ratio of 1:1 in the lake. There was a complete absence of juvenile fish (<30 mm) among carcasses but these constituted 70% of the live population. Estimated relative contributions to mortality for the carcasses include starvation (<1%), parasitism (3%), senescence (4%) and lethal injuries from predator attack (70–80%). If these carcasses are representative of a fossil series in freshwater lake sediments, then several demographic parameters including age-specific body size, age-class frequencies and sex ratio depart substantially from the live population. As well, the virtual absence of avian piscivores in the carcass assemblage, the major source of predation on the fish population, warrants additional attention in paleoecological studies.

Background: Overuse of antibiotics is a major challenge and undermines measures to control drug resistance worldwide. Postnatal women and newborns are at risk of infections and are often prescribed prophylactic antibiotics, although there is no evidence to support their universal use in either group. Methods: We performed point prevalence surveys in three hospitals in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, in 2018 to collect descriptive data on antibiotic use and infections in maternity and neonatal wards. Results: Prescribing of antibiotics was high in all three hospitals ranging from 90% (43/48) to 100% (34/34) in women after cesarean section, from 1.4% (1/73) to 63%(30/48) in women after vaginal delivery, and from 89%(76/85) to 100%(77/77) in neonates. The most common reason for prescribing antibiotics was medical prophylaxis in both maternity and neonatal wards.Conclusion: We observed substantial overuse of antibiotics in postnatal women and newborns.This calls for urgent antibiotic stewardship programs in Tanzanian hospitals to curb the inappropriate use and limit the spread of antimicrobial resistance.

The COVID-19, which belongs to the family of Coronaviridae and is large-scale outbreak in the whole world, is a public health emergency for human beings and brings some very harmful consequences in social and economic fields. In order to modelling the COVID-19 and develop the efficient control method corresponding to the contacting distance, this paper proposes an SEIR-type epidemic model with the contacting distance between the healthy individuals and the asymptomatic or symptomatic infected individuals, and the immigration rate of the healthy individuals, since the contacting distance and the immigration rate are two critical factors which determine the transmission of the COVID-19. Firstly, the threshold contacting distance and the threshold immigration rate are obtained by analyze the dynamical behaviors of the proposed SEIR-type epidemic model in order to control the COVID-19. The effect of the contacting distance and the immigration rate on the control of the COVID-19 are revealed based on ecological and epidemiological issues. The results show that the COVID-19 will be controlled while the contacting distance between the healthy individuals and the symptomatic infected individuals is larger than the threshold value A~ and the immigration rate is smaller than the threshold value ~ d. Secondly, the sensitivity analysis is conducted and the results show that the contacting distance and the immigration rate play an important role in controlling the COVID-19. Finally, the numerical test for Wuhan city are conducted and the conclusions show that the extinct lag decreases as the the contacting distance increase or the immigration rate decrease. Our study could give some reasonable suggestions for the health officials and the public.

The 2020 severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic introduced unprecedented disruptions in both working conditions and social life. This lead to a variety of additional stressors for academics. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of the SARS-CoV-2 measures on academics, introduced during the first SARS-CoV-2 wave in Belgium, and to verify possible intervening variables in coping with these measures (stress management). The position, family and home situation of the respondents was checked. A cross-sectional study design was used. The study included 1837 respondents from the different Belgian universities. The overall mental and physical well-being amongst academics was lower during the SARS-CoV-2 measures. The results of a hierarchical regression suggest that decline in physical health is associated with an increase in tasks at home, sickness, less options to plan work and breaks, the self-perceived lower quality of teaching and research and the fear that the measures create a backlog at work. Furthermore, having kids had a negative effect on the work/private life balance, which in turn had an effect on physical well-being. A decline in mental well-being was associated with a fading boundary between work and private life, the necessity to take on more house-keeping tasks, sickness, the fear that the disruptions would create a backlog at work, less control over the work planning and less periods of pause during work.

Background: Sigmoid colon cancer is a common type of colon cancer; it refers to tumor lesions occurring in the segment approximately 16 cm to 50 cm from the anal margin. Currently, surgical resection is the most effective treatment for non-metastatic sigmoid colon cancer. Therefore, to more accurately standardize colon cancer surgery, we classified the sigmoid colon into distal and proximal segments. This study compares and analyzes the intraoperative situation, postoperative pathology and safety of radical resection of sigmoid cancer in different locations from different aspects. Result: The patients with sigmoid colon tumor can be divided into distal group (16-30cm from the anus) and proximal group (31-50cm from the anus) according to the distance between the tumor and the anal margin. Conclusion: The patients in the distal group using stapler for intestinal anastomosis and anal decompression tube were significantly more than those in the proximal group. For the ligation of the inferior mesenteric artery, high ligation was usually used or the left colic artery was usually preserved in the distal group, and the superior rectal artery was usually retained in the proximal group. The incidence of postoperative complications in the distal group was higher than that in the proximal group, but there was no significant difference between the two groups.

Authors: Pourhajibagher Maryam , Bahador Abbas
Published: July 2021

The aim of this study was to evaluate the anti-biofilm and anti-metabolic activities of zeolite-zinc oxide nanoparticles (Zeo/ZnONPs)-based antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) against pre-formed polymicrobial biofilms on the orthodontic brackets, as well as, assess the remineralization efficacy on polymicrobial biofilms induced enamel lesions. Following synthesis and characterization of Zeo/ZnONPs, cell cytotoxicity, hemolytic effect, and intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production were determined. The anti-biofilm and anti-metabolic activities of aPDT using different concentrations of Zeo/ZnONPs were investigated. Microhardness tester and DIAGNOdent Pen were used to evaluate the changes of remineralization degree on the treated enamel slabs duration one and three months. No significant cytotoxicity and erythrocyte hemolysis were observed in treated cells with Ze/ZnONPs. When irradiated, suggesting that the Ze/ZnONPs were photoactivated, generating ROS and leading to reduce dose-dependently the cell viability and metabolic activity of polymicrobial biofilms. Also, the enamel surface microhardness value of exposed enamel showed a steady increase with the concentration of Zeo/ZnONPs. No statistically significant differences were shown between aPDT and sodium fluoride varnish as the control group. Overall, Zeo/ZnONPs-based aPDT with the greatest remineralization efficacy of enamel surface can be used as an anti-biofilm therapeutic method, which is involved with their potent ability to produce ROS.
A meta-analysis of Twitter assisted learning outcomes during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Yu Zhonggen
Published: July 2021

The use of social media such as Twitter has been widely used in education during the COVID-19 pandemic due to their positive learning outcomes. To summarize the effect of Twitter use on educational outcomes, this study included 22 high-quality peer-reviewed journal articles for meta-analysis. It is concluded that the Twitter assisted learning approach can lead to significantly higher learning outcomes than the non-Twitter assisted but the former cannot lead to significantly higher teaching effectiveness than the latter. The use of Twitter can improve learning outcomes in the USA and Sweden rather than Spain. Twitter can significantly improve learning engagement in the USA but not in Greece. Males tend to show significantly higher learning outcomes than females in the Twitter assisted learning context. Whether Twitter is used as a supplementary or an integrated tool can significantly improve learning outcomes. Future research may adopt more interdisciplinary methods and include more literature to summarize the effect of Twitter use on educational outcomes especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Published: July 2021

Background: Photothrombotic (PT) stroke model is a novel method to induce ischemic stroke in the target site using excitation of photosensitive agents such as Rose Bengal (RB) dye after light illumination. Here, we performed a PT-induced brain ischemic model using green laser and photosensitive agent RB and confirmed its efficiency through cellular, histological and neurobehavioral approaches.Methods: Mice were randomly allocated into RB; Laser irradiation; and RB + Laser irradiation groups. Mice were exposed to green laser at a wavelength of 532 nm and intensity 150 mW in a mouse model after injection of RB under stereotactic surgery. The pattern of Hemorrhagic and ischemic changes were evaluated throughout the study. The volume of the lesion site was calculated using unbiased stereological methods. For investigation of neurogenesis, we performed double - (BrdU/NeuN) immunofluorescence (IF) staining on day 28 following the last- BrdU injection. To assess the effect and quality of ischemic stroke on neurological behavior, the Modified neurological severity score (mNSS) test was done on days 1, 7, 14, and 28 days after stroke induction.Results: Laser irradiation plus RB induced hemorrhagic tissue and pale ischemic changes over the 5 days. On the next days, microscopic staining revealed neural tissue degeneration, demarcated necrotic site, and neuronal injury. BrdU staining showed a significant number of proliferating cells in the periphery of the lesion site in the Laser irradiation plus RB group compared to the group (p<0.05) while the percent of NeuN+ cells per BrdU- positive cells was reduced. Also, prominent astrogliosis was observed in the periphery of irradiated sites on day 28. Neurological deficits were detected in mice from Laser irradiation plus the RB group. No histological or functional deficits were detected in RB and Laser irradiation groups. Conclusion: Our study revealed that the PT could induce neuropathological alterations and neurobehavioral deficits. Moreover, our findings indicated that the undesirable microenvironment and inflammatory conditions could affect the neurogenesis concomitantly with functional deficits. Taken together, this method of PT introduces a focal, reproducible, noninvasive and accessible stroke model with a distinctive demarcation similar to human stroke conditions.
Potential of Prevention Strategies For The Modifiable Risk Factor Type 2 Diabetes On The Future Number of Dementia Patients in Germany– A Multi-State Projection Through 2040
Authors: Fink Anne , Demuth Ilja , Doblhammer Gabriele
Published: July 2021

Background

We assess the impact of prevention strategies regarding type 2 diabetes as a modifiable risk factor for dementia and its consequences for the future number of dementia patients in Germany.
Methods

We used a random sample of health claims data (N = 250,000) of insured persons aged 50 + drawn in 2014, and data on population size and death rates in 2015 from the Human Mortality Database. Using exponential hazard models, we calculated age- and sex-specific transition probabilities and death rates between the states (no diabetes/no dementia, diabetes/no dementia, no diabetes/dementia, diabetes/dementia). In multi-state projections, we estimated the future number of dementia cases aged 75 + through 2040 depending on the development of the incidence of diabetes among persons without diabetes and without dementia, and the dementia incidence among persons with and without diabetes.
Results

In 2015 there were 1.34 million people with dementia aged 75 + in Germany. A relative annual reduction in death rates of 2.5% will increase this number to 2.68 million by 2040. A relative reduction of diabetes incidence by 1% annually would decrease dementia cases by around 26,000, while a reduction of dementia incidence among people with diabetes by 1% would result in 175,000 fewer dementia cases. Both prevention strategies combined would prevent 191,000 dementia cases in 2040.
Conclusions

The increase in life expectancy is decisive for the future number of people with dementia. Strategies of better diabetes treatment have the potential to lower the number of dementia patients in the coming decades.
