Authors: Chow Emily C. , Sandercott Nicholas D. , Yoo Olivia , Coyle Carolyn , Johnson Jared , Chung Michael , Yoo George
Published: March 2023

Background: As the ongoing public health crisis from
Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic puts strains on current
models of cancer care, many health care centers had to adapt to minimize
the risk of exposure and infection. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic
in a comprehensive cancer center were determined. Purpose: To
measure the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on care delivery at a
comprehensive cancer center. Methods: The number of on-site and
telehealth visits (TH) were obtained from scheduling software. Multiple
factors including total visits, telehealth visits, screenings for cancer
diagnosis, and cancer treatments were tracked from two years before the
pandemic onset through 2022. The length of stay (LOS) and Case Mix Index
(CMI) were calculated using hospital database. Results: In the
third quarter of FY 2020, telehealth visits (TH) represented a fifth of
total patient encounters. Cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy,
radiation therapy, and surgery, decreased during the pandemic with
number of surgeries being most affected (23% decrease in 2020 compared
to the previous fiscal year). The average length of stay (LOS) was also
longer with less discharges per given time during the pandemic. The
increased LOS was related to increased severity of patient illnesses
since CMI was higher. Screening mammograms decreased to a nadir of 58%
in 2021 as compared to those screened in pre-pandemic fiscal years.
Conclusions: The COVID-19 pandemic impacted many
aspects of care, such as treatment and screenings. Many of these factors
had to be postponed due to the fear of acquiring COVID-19 and access to
care. The findings presented implicate that the delays and changes in
cancer care during the pandemic resulted in less screening and treatment
of more advanced disease.

When attempting to maximize the crop yield from field-grown soy (
Glycine max (L.) Merr.) by means of improving the light
conditions for photosynthesis in the canopy, it is crucial to find the
optimal planting density and nitrogen application rate. The soy plants
were cultivated in N-dense mutual pairs, and included two cultivars with
different leaf shapes; one sported ovate leaves (O-type) and the other
lanceolate leaves (L-type). We analyzed the results quantitatively to
gauge the effect of the experimental parameters on the yield as well as
the photosynthetic light and nitrogen use efficiency. Results indicate
that the different leaf shapes were responsible for significant
disparities between the photosynthetic utilization of direct and diffuse
light. The light interception rate of the L-type canopy was lower than
that of the O-type, but its canopy apparent photosynthetic nitrogen and
light use efficiency were higher. However, the nitrogen and light use
efficiency contributions associated with exposure to diffuse light were
greater for the latter than for the former. Our conclusion is that
optimizing the yield from densely planted L-type soy hinges on using an
appropriate nitrogen application rate, while O-type soy requires
optimizing its nitrogen and light use efficiency under conditions of
diffuse lighting.

Authors: Thomas Rachael , Kelemen Noemi , Molena Emma , Lester Shane
Published: March 2023

Background Patients presenting with head and neck squamous cell
carcinoma of unknown primary (HNSCCUP) remain challenging clinical
scenarios as large variation exists in practices used to locate the
primary. Objective To perform a systematic review of the literature and
offer recommendations for oropharyngeal biopsies in HNSCCUP. Method
Pubmed, Medline and Embase were searched to identify studies from
inception to October 2021. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic
Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were followed. Results 483
articles were included and screened, 40 studies met the inclusion
criteria, including over 3400 patients from the original articles and
1575 patients from 3 meta-analyses. The primary site identification rate
following random biopsies or deep tissue biopsies is less than 5% in
most studies. The mean detection rate following ipsilateral
tonsillectomy is 34%; two pooled analyses indicate that the mean
detection rate following tongue base mucosectomy is 64%, with this
figure rising when the tonsils are negative. Conclusions High level
evidence is lacking, with heterogeneity in the reported studies.
Published meta analyses are based on retrospective data. There is little
evidence supporting the practice of random/non-directed oropharyngeal
biopsies. Available evidence supports palatine tonsillectomy and tongue
base mucosectomy compared to deep tissue biopsies.
An overview of Molecular and biochemical insights of agents used in hepatotoxicity-induced animal models: A Current scenario

Published: March 2023

Cirrhosis is a serious health condition, where along with scar tissue
formation there is deposition of collagen in the liver, finally leading
to liver failure. It is preceded by liver fibrosis, a dynamic
pathological condition that can be decelerated during its early phases.
Acute hepatitis is the cause of about 10% cases of liver damage and
another 50% result from drug induced hepatic injury. In absence of
appropriate clinical management of fibrosis, its progresses to cirrhosis
and eventually results in liver failure or primary liver cancer both of
which are irreversible conditions. Various in vivo animal models
have been developed where hepatic injury is induced by diet, drugs,
chemicals or surgical methods. These animal models are routinely
employed for the assessment of drugs. But there is a need to discover
new methods that will reduce animal sacrifice or be associated with
animal recovery. Ex-vivo tissue culture techniques also aid in the
evaluation of different stages of cirrhosis. Future research may result
in the study of pathology of an individual patient through hepatic
decellularisation and hepatic tissue bioengineering.

Published: March 2023

Objective: Does an ‘after hours’ delivery affects the rate of
third and fourth degree tears (Obstetric Anal Sphincter Injuries, OASIS)
Design: a single -centre retrospective cohort study
Setting: A major regional Australian hospital
Population: All cephalic vaginal deliveries at 37+ weeks over a
3-year period. Exclusions: previous/planned Caesarean section,
prematurity, multiple pregnancies, non-cephalic presentations and models
of care other than mainstream consultant-led care. Methods:
Data collected was age, parity, gestation, body mass index, induction of
labour, use of oxytocin, second stage duration, mode of delivery,
perineal trauma, episiotomy and birth weight. Main Outcome
Measures: Compare the rates and risk factors of OASIS between
deliveries occurring “in hours” (8am-8pm weekdays) and “after hours”
(8pm-8am, weekends and public holidays) Results: 2404 patients
were included. 57.4% of deliveries occurred ‘after hours’. The overall
rate of OASIS was 3.12% with no statistical difference between ‘in
hours (3.22%) and ‘out of hours’ (3.04%), p=0.8. More primigravid
deliveries and spontaneous onset of labours occurred ‘out of hours’
(both p<0.001). More multigravid deliveries, labours requiring
oxytocin and prolonged second stage occurred ‘in
hours’(p=<0.01). No statistical significance was noted for
epidural analgesia (34.0% vs 34.3%, P=0.85), spontaneous vaginal birth
(90.4% vs 90.1%, P=0.81), operative vaginal birth (9.6% vs 9.9%,
P=0.81) and episiotomy use (17.2% vs 18.4%, P=0.41).
Conclusions: No statically significant difference was noted in
the rate of OASIS ‘in hours’ and ‘out of hours’ in our centre.

Objective. To explore the relationship between pelvic floor
thickness and bony pelvic outlet, in nulliparous and multiparous women
of black and white South African (SA) ethnic group groups.
Design. Quantitative retrospective analysis of computerised
tomography (CT) scans. Setting. Academic Hospital and
University in Pretoria, SA. Population/sample. Black and white
women of SA ethnic groups. Methods. A total of 125 CT scans
were sampled from a tertiary hospital in Pretoria South Africa, where 50
belonged to SA white women and 75 to SA black women. The data was
reconstructed with Mevislab software to measure pelvic floor thicknesses
and bony parameters. Statistical analyses were performed using
Paleontological Statistics Comparisons (PAST). Main outcome
measures. Variations were observed in pelvic floor thicknesses and bony
parameters measured in SA women, which varied according to ethnic group,
age and parity. Results. Greater bony dimensions (except
anteroposterior pelvic outlet) were found in white compared to black
women. A thicker pelvic floor was noted in black compared to white
women. Some bony dimensions increased with parity. Pelvic floor
thickness became thinner with increasing parity and age in both ethnic
groups. Conclusion. There existed an interethnic variation in
pelvic floor thickness and bony dimensions, where white women presented
with thinner pelvic floor and greater bony pelvic dimensions when
compared to black women.

Published: March 2023

In China, 1100 ng/mL is used as the recommended threshold for imatinib
Cssmin in therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) for metastatic
recurrence/unresectable gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) patients.
However, there are few studies on characteristics of imatinib Cssmin for
adjuvant therapy after complete resection of GIST and neoadjuvant
therapy. Consider individual differences of GIST patients, analysis of
imatinib in patients with adjuvant and neoadjuvant treatment using a
quantitative ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem
massspectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method was conducted in this study. This
developed method showed good selectivity and reliability. 25 blood
samples collected from October 2019 to October 2021 in 16 patients with
adjuvant therapy and 9 patients with neoadjuvant therapy were
determined. In the neoadjuvant treatment group, all patients initially
received 400 mg/d imatinib. The range of the imatinib steady-state
plasma concentration (Cssmin) was 1083-4722 ng/mL. In the adjuvant
treatment group, the imatinib Cssmin was in the range of 584-2692 ng/mL
after patients given at a dosage of 200, 300, 400 and 600 mg/d. There is
no statistical difference in Cssmin between two groups after receiving
400 mg/d imatinib (p=0.402). Among all patients given 400 mg/d imatinib,
the Cssmin was significantly correlated with gender (P=0.016).
TNT in ammunition shells: an investigation of chemical integrity after artificial aging using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry
Authors: Reinold Erich , Anastacio Aline , Mendonça-Filho Letivan de , Lima Antonio Luís , Nichele Jakler
Published: March 2023

Rationale: Industrial TNT contains substances other than
2-4-6-trinitrotoluene that are of primary interest for military
applications. The degradation of industrial TNT by aging and by contact
with steel surfaces, which represent real situations of use of the
material, was investigated. There is practical knowledge about this
degradation, but the literature lacks details of this process. Methods:
Small steel samples used in military ammunition were covered with TNT
and heated at 75 ºC for 30 days under vacuum. Some of the samples were
previously painted with a red alkyd paint coating that protects the
metallic surface. After aging, the TNT was scraped off the metal pieces
and analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared
spectroscopy and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Results: The
results showed in detail how the integrity of the TNT is maintained even
under thermal stress and in contact with the steel surface. Although
some changes were observed in the surface appearance of the TNT, all the
analyses indicated the maintenance of the chemical integrity of the
industrial TNT. The only change in composition identified is related to
the contamination with degradation products of the alkyd paint coating
and not with the degradation processes of the TNT itself. Conclusions:
Our results indicated that although there are many TNT degradation
processes reported in the literature, for cases involving thermal stress
degradation of TNT in solid phase in contact with metal, these processes
are irrelevant. Thus, it is possible to elucidate the safety of TNT when
packaged in steel artifacts, which represent the majority of military
ammunition.

Published: March 2023

Klebsiella variicola (K. variicola) is an emerging human pathogen, which
poses a threat to public health. The horizontal gene transfer (HGT) of
plasmids is an important driver for the emergence of multiple
antibiotic-resistant K. variicola. The clustered regularly interspersed
short palindromic repeats coupled with the CRISPR-associated genes
(CRISPR/Cas) constitute an adaptive immune system in bacteria, which
provide acquired immunity against HGT. However, the information about
CRISPR/Cas system in K. variicola is still limited. In this study, a
total of 487 genomes from NCBI database were used to analyze the
characterization of CRISPR/Cas systems. 105 of the 487 genomes harbored
at least one confirmed CRISPR array. Three types of CRISPR/Cas system,
including types I-E, I-E*, and Ⅳ-A systems, were identified among 105
strains. The distribution of type I system was strongly associated with
MLST, whereas type IV system was randomly distributed. Approximately
one-third of spacer origins were homologous with plasmids or phages,
indicating the role of CRISPR/Cas systems in controlling HGT. Moreover,
spacers in K. variicola tended to target mobile genetic elements (MGEs)
from Klebsiella pneumoniae, which provides new evidence for their
interaction during evolution. Collectively, our results provide valuable
insights into the role of CRISPR/Cas systems in K. variicola.
An Artificially Intelligent Framework for Plant Health Monitoring
Authors: Jain Tarun , Sinha Aditya , Charak Aahan Singh
Published: March 2023

Plants are cultivated and consumed all over the world. They are highly
nutritious and are rich in vitamins, minerals etc. However, most plants
are vulnerable to biotic and abiotic diseases, which limits the yield.
So, it is essential to detect and handle these diseases at the earliest
to get an ample amount of produce. Computers and digital devices make
this process much more effortless than manual human intervention. The
general template followed by researchers is first segmenting out the
diseased lesions from the leaves and then applying machine learning
classifiers to differentiate between the diseases. Our proposed solution
involves classification followed by lesion isolation and quantification.
The techniques are automatic and require no human intervention in the
segmentation steps. Additionally, most of the classification work is
done on specific plant and disease combinations like cherry powdery
mildew, apple rust etc., which requires retraining the classifier in the
case of the introduction of a new disease-leaf pair. We tried to solve
this limitation by classifying the leaf images based on the disease
type, not disease-leaf pairs, as most diseases have similar infection
patterns in different plants. Our study included powdery mildew, rust,
and bacterial spot diseases. A classification model has been developed
which classifies whether a leaf is suffering from powdery mildew, rust,
bacterial spot or is healthy. A remarkable accuracy of 99.09% was
observed on the test dataset. Moreover, the detection techniques are
robust to various lighting conditions, leaf color patterns and symptom
patterns
Investigating the impact of cold agglutinins on red blood cell parameters in a trauma patient: A case Report
Authors: Patel Tirath , Sohail Rohab
Published: March 2023

Cold agglutinins are autoantibodies that can cause agglutination or
clumping of red blood cells (RBCs) at temperatures below normal body
temperature. This case report discusses a 37-year-old male patient who
suffered from multiple injuries due to a motorcycle accident. The
patient’s laboratory tests revealed a high level of cold agglutinins,
which resulted in abnormal RBC parameters. The study aims to investigate
the impact of cold agglutinins on RBC parameters in a trauma patient.
The findings of this case report highlight the importance of recognizing
cold agglutinins in trauma patients to avoid misinterpretation of
laboratory results.

Published: March 2023

INTRODUCTION: Certain mineral elements dismetabolism is known to play an important part in the pathogenesis of the corneal degenerative and dystrophic diseases, as metalloenzymes participate in connective tissues metabolism affecting their properties. Thus, in keratoconus corneal tissue is depleted in iron, copper and zinc, what could be the underlying cause of cornea biomechanical properties impairment. Keratoconus modeling is complicated and practically not reproducible in animals, therefore cell models elaboration is very much in demand. Definite mineral elements content must be reduced in order to simulate pathological changes specific for keratoconic corneas.
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was an elaboration of a cell model suitable for keratoconus pathogenesis research. This goal achieving involved solving the following tasks: 1) to develop a tissue-engineered system that mimic healthy corneal stroma; 2) to develop a technique for selective depletion of the nutrient medium by mineral elements involved in keratoconus pathogenesis; 3) to assess the possibility of the designed tissue-engineered system growth in the depleted nutrient medium.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study was carried out with the primary culture of human keratocytes, which were used to build tissue-engineered systems of three types: on silicone, on a membrane, without a carrier. Cell cultures morphology was evaluated by light and electron microscopy. The nutrient media were zinc depleted via decationization of fetal bovine serum using two types of ion-exchange resins; mineral elements concentrations were evaluated by means of inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry.
RESULTS: The tissue system engineered without a carrier in form of cell sheet was chosen as the most convenient model. The decationization of the serum by means of Chelex 100 resin was shown to be a successful method for tenfold zinc concentration reduction in the nutrient medium. Keratocytes cultivation in the form of cell sheet on a zinc-depleted medium was successfully approved.
CONCLUSION: Elaborated tissue-engineered system could be considered as a model of the corneal stroma under specific for keratoconus conditions of zinc depletion.

Published: March 2023

Most of the electricity generated in Brazil still comes from hydroelectric plants. In 2021, the country reached a critical hydrological scenario due to low capacities in the reservoirs. Although the installed wind power capacity in Brazil has expanded considerably in recent years, wind generation in the country is limited to the onshore type.  This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of a new wind farm to be installed in Brazil, comparing several possible conditions and technologies, for installing a wind farm on a predetermined location in the northeast region of the country, the most promising region for wind farms. Based on the literature review, different technology routes that characterize wind farms around the world were identified and, through expert evaluation, the best technology route in terms of cost-effectiveness was defined. The results show that, under current conditions, the onshore route with higher unit power of the wind turbine and tubular tower proved to be the preferred one. However, it was shown that in the medium term, offshore wind energy shall become a reality in the country, as long as favorable regulations and licensing models, political and economic stability, and long-term public policies in terms of incentives and subsidies to attract investments for this type of energy generation are present.

Ensuring Energy Security through Expanded Access to Nuclear Technology for Peaceful Uses and the Challenge of a Nuclear Taboo
Authors: Teshome Moges Z.
Published: March 2023

This paper seeks to explore the nexus between expanded access to nuclear technology and science for peaceful uses and sustainable development, on the one hand, and how a nuclear stigma impacts global endeavors to achieve sustainable development goals, on the other. Although nuclear technology and techniques’ safe, secure, and sustainable application is directly relevant to the 9 SDGs, this paper highlights energy security. It argues that expanded access to nuclear technology and modern science is quintessential to ensure SDGs; specifically, by informing pragmatic energy transition policy. A nuclear taboo (a public aversion to anything nuclear), as symbolized in an inherent normative contestation within the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of nuclear weapons (hereinafter the NPT), enduring background knowledge, negative nuclear images, and public aversions to nuclear power, poses a formidable challenge to expanded access to nuclear technology. Consequently, the paper suggests, inter alia, timely management of normative contestations (through a teleological interpretation of Art. IV of the NPT), increasing awareness creation campaigns, effective and timely risk communication system, changing narratives at the grassroots level, ensuring greater transparency, and trust building measures, and enhancing the culture of nuclear safety and security.
