Published: May 2020

Ganoderma is a major pathogen in oil palm crops. Some efforts related to control the growth of Ganoderma have been conducted but still have not found an effective method. This study aims to develop an organic fungicide that has been tested in vitro, which effective in controlling the growth of Ganoderma. The optimization carried out includes the determination of the dose and time interval for application in 13-year-old mature oil palm. This organic fungicide application was the continuation of application during the previous year especially for the two best treatment which is application organic fungicide every week (1w) and every two weeks (2w). In this study, the treatments tested were three levels dose of organic fungicide (0, 1x and 2x) and two types of frequency application, i.e. every week (1w) and every other week (2w). The results showed that the best application of organic fungicides was every week application with twice doses (1w.2x), based on the parameters of the inhibition of Ganoderma’s fruiting body formation, primary and secondary root formation, the opening of spear leaves, and harvesting parameters. The application of organic fungicide able to recover the oil palm infected Ganoderma sp., with increasing the fresh fruit bunch and its weight around 70% and 78%, respectively.

Ureteroscopy and extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) are two widely used methods for the treatment of ureteric and pelviureteric junction (PUJ) stones. ESWL remains the only non-invasive therapy modality for the treatment of urinary stones. Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is a non-invasive, safe and effective treatment for urinary tract lithiasis Ureteroscopy and extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) are two widely used methods for the treatment of ureteric and pelviureteric junction (PUJ) stones. ESWL remains the only non-invasive therapy modality for the treatment of urinary stones. Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is a non-invasive, safe and effective treatment for urinary tract lithiasis Objectives To evaluate the effectiveness of emergency “hot” shock wave lithotripsy in treating symptomatic ureteric/ PUJ stones. Materials and Methods A retrospective study looking at the emergency referrals for shock wave lithotripsy to the Churchill Hos-pital between June 2013 to Dec 2017. The Lithotripsy Database and patients’ electronic records were used to complete this project. Emergency referrals triaged by the on-call urology team and go through a renal colic clinic. Results In total, 201 patients underwent emergency shock wave lithotripsy for ureteric/PUJ stones. The mean stone size was 7.7mm (SD 2.9). 12.4% (25) were PUJ, 45.3% (91) proximal and 42.3% (85) distal ureteric stones. 1% (2) were bilateral ureteric stones. 9% (18) had previous lithotripsy treatment before being referred. The number of shocks used was 4000 in 52.7%, >=3000 in 40.3%, >=2000 in 4.5% and >=1000 in 2.5%. The median shock frequency was 2 Hz. The median number of treatments for the targeted stone was 2. Stone fragmentation was visible in 27.4% (55), possible in 30.8% (62) and not visible in 41.8% (84). In terms of follow up, 48.3% (97) were discharged stone-free, while 17.4% (35) were discharged with residual fragments. 21.8% (44) had further clinic follow up while 12.4% (25) had no follow-up information available, possibly because they were referred from different hospitals. 19.9% (40) needed ureteroscopy, while 7% (14) needed further lithotripsy sessions. Conclusions Emergency extracorporeal lithotripsy can be offered as an effective and safe treatment for patients with symptomatic stones.
Whole-Grain Processing and Glycemic Control in Type 2 Diabetes: A Randomized Crossover Trial
Authors: Åberg Sebastian , Mann Jim , Neumann Silke , Ross Alastair B. , Reynolds Andrew N. 
Published: May 2020

OBJECTIVE
To consider the effects of whole-grain processing, specifically milling, on glycemic control in free-living adults with type 2 diabetes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
Participants of this crossover trial were randomized to two interventions of 2 weeks, separated by washout. They were advised to replace the grain foods they normally consumed with intervention foods. Intervention foods were nutrient-matched whole-grain products of wheat, oats, and brown rice that differed in their degree of processing. No other lifestyle advice was given. Continuous glucose monitoring systems were worn. Other cardiometabolic risk factors and alkylresorcinols (a biomarker of whole-grain intake) were measured pre- and postintervention.

RESULTS
Thirty-one adults with type 2 diabetes (63 ± 13 years old, BMI 32.4 ± 7 kg/m2, HbA1c 7.5 ± 3.4% [59 ± 14 mmol/mol]) commenced the trial; 28 (90%) completed both interventions. The increase in alkylresorcinols did not differ between interventions, and there was no difference in reported energy intake. Postprandial responses were 9% (95% CI 3–15) lower following breakfast and 6% (1–10) lower following all meals of less-processed whole grains when compared with finely milled grains. Day-long glycemic variability also was reduced when measured by 24-h SD (−0.16 mmol/L [95% CI −0.25 to −0.06]) and mean amplitude of glycemic excursion (−0.36 [95% CI −0.65 to −0.08]). Mean change in body weight differed by 0.81 kg (95% CI 0.62–1.05) between interventions, increasing during the finely milled intervention and decreasing during the less-processed whole-grain intervention. This was not a mediating factor for the glycemic variables considered.

CONCLUSIONS
Consuming less-processed whole-grain foods over 2 weeks improved measures of glycemia in free-living adults with type 2 diabetes compared with an equivalent amount of whole-grain foods that were finely milled. Dietary advice should promote the consumption of minimally processed whole grains.
The Risk Factors Associated With Early Age At First Birth Amongst Angolan Women: Evidence From The 2015-2016 Angola Demographic And Health Survey
Authors: Motsima Tshaudi 
Published: May 2020

Reducing adolescent childbearing has been a global priority since the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development. Age of a woman at first birth is significant in her life because motherhood involves a substantial commitment of time and resources, and it tends to set the stage within which other roles are assumed. There are consequences related to early age at first birth for both the mothers and the children. Data and Methods: The data used for analysis came from the 2015-2016 MIHS of Angola which was its first DHS. The 2015-2016 Angolan MIHS collected information from 14 379 women aged 15-49 years from 16 109 households. Women were asked questions around ages at which they gave births to their children. The Tarone-Ware test was used to test the equality of the survival functions. The Cox PH model was used to determine the factors that were associated with early age at first birth. Results and Conclusion: Results revealed that women who had their sexual intercourse at a young age (HR = 4.66; p < 0.001), women who never had a termination of pregnancy (HR = 1.22; p < 0.001), women who were never married (HR = 1.19; p < 0.001), women with no education (HR = 3.22; p < 0.001), women with primary education (HR = 5.08; p < 0.001), women with secondary education (HR = 5.06, p < 0.001), women of Christian religion (HR = 1.10; p = 0.035) and women who resided in informal houses (HR = 1.30; p < 0.001) were significantly associated with the risk of early age at first birth.

Published: May 2020

Objective:
The objective of the study was to evaluate the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow alterations in meningitis using phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging (PCMRI).

Materials and Methods:
Fifty patients with clinically confirmed or strongly suspected infectious meningitis and 20 controls were evaluated with MRI. Quantitative CSF analysis was performed at the level of cerebral aqueduct using cardiac-gated PCMRI. Velocity encoding (Venc) was kept at 20 cm/s. Patients were subdivided into Group I (patients with hydrocephalus [n = 21]) and Group II (patients without hydrocephalus [n = 29]).

Results:
The mean peak velocity and stroke volume in controls were 2.49 ± 0.86 cm/s and 13.23 ± 6.84 µl and in patients were 2.85 ± 2.90 cm/s and 16.30 ± 20.02 µl, respectively. A wide variation of flow parameters was noted in meningitis irrespective of the degree of ventricular dilatation. A significant difference in peak velocity and stroke volume was noted in Group II as compared to controls. Viral meningitis showed milder alteration of CSF flow dynamics as compared to bacterial and tuberculous etiologies. At a cutoff value of 3.57 cm/s in peak CSF velocity, the specificity was 100% and sensitivity was 22.7% to differentiate between viral and non-viral meningitis.

Conclusion:
Alteration of CSF flow dynamics on PCMRI can improve segregation of patients into viral and non- viral etiologies, especially in those in whom contrast is contraindicated or not recommended. This may aid in institution of appropriate clinical treatment.

Gallbladder is a pear shaped organ and the main function of it is to store and concentrate the bile secreted by the liver and then deliver it into the intestine for digestion and absorption of fat. Congenital anomalies, inflammation, benign and malignant tumors can occur in the gallbladder. Cholecystectomy is one of the most commonly performed general surgery procedures. The principle aim of this study is to review the pathology results from gallbladder specimens sent for routine pathology with clinical parameters correlation.
A retrospective study of 115cholecystectomy specimens for a period of 6 months in the year 2018 was carried out. All specimens subjected for histopathological examination and the clinical correlation was done. Commonest age group being 41-45 years (25%) with the male female ratio of 1:1.7. Most common lesions were Chronic calculouscholecystitis constituting 67 (58%) followed by chronic cholecystitis 24 cases (21%). Acute calculouscholecystits constitute 4 cases (3.5%), acute cholecystitis and acute or chronic cholecystitis constitutes 9 cases (8%).One case of adenomyoma (0.8%) and incidentally detected Gall bladder adenocarcinoma (0.8%) were diagnosed. Spectrum of lesions that affect the gallbladder necessitates the importance of histopathological examination of all cholecystectomy specimens with or without abnormal clinical, radiological and macroscopic findings.

One of the tools used by cameramen to help stabilize while recording is Glidecam. Glidecam works based on the use of additional weights to compensate the load from the camera. However, there are still weaknesses in the use of Glidecam, including the fatigue and aches felt by the cameraman after Glidecam's use. In addition, it may cause disruption to joint, ligament, muscle, nerve and tendon function, and spine, for continuous Glidecam use. One alternative tool to overcome this problem is the use of Arm Brace. Arm Brace in the form of a passive exoskeleton that will compensate for part of the load from Glidecam. The product design process includes creating mission statements, identifying customer needs, determining product specifications, developing concepts, selecting concepts, making prototypes and evaluating prototypes. In this study two prototypes were made and evaluation with statistical tests showed that there was a significant increase in the endurance time of using Glidecam on the use of the two prototypes compared to that without the tools. The selection of the final prototype is done with a qualitative evaluation from the user. Qualitative evaluation is carried out with six assessment criteria: ease of use and installation, product mobility, product mass, product robustness, product support and product mechanism.Keywords: Glidecam, Arm Brace, Eksoskeleton

Published: May 2020

Information technology has made mobile banking easy, convenient and accessible to 178 million unique mobile subscribers base in Indonesia. Out of this 50 million are smartphone users and collectively about 132 million are internet users . This rising trend has been forcing 120 commercial banks in the country to ramp up their mobile-based banking initiatives. However, in contrast to it, only 50 million have bank accounts out of 250 million Indonesian population size . This poses a few challenges to digital adoption using mobile as medium, especially when a limited number of people have bank accounts and the cost of internet is high due to geographical, infrastructural spread and cost barriers. The purpose of this study is to unearth such factors that have - direct or indirect - influence on consumer acceptance for mobile banking applications. This research model examines 205 respondents from online surveys in Jabodetabek, Indonesia. To conduct this study, we have used Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2) model that helps in understanding perceived credibility and perceived self-efficacy variables and their roles in influencing the adoption for m-banking. Data was analysed using Partial Least Square (PLS) method. The findings suggest that performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and social influence have a significant effect on behavioral intention. Performance expectancy is the factor that mostly influences behavior intention. It can also be stated that behavioral intention, facilitating condition and habit – all of these have a significant effect on reuse behavior.
