COMBINATION OF DEXAMETHASONE IMPLANT AND ANTI-VEGF IN THE MANAGEMENT OF DIABETIC MACULAR EDEMA: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Authors: Paramita Ursula Natasya Pradnya , Tania Tania , Clarissa Clarissa , Salsabila Salma 
Published: December 2024

Background: Anti Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (anti-VEGF) and dexamethasone implant (DEX) are suggested as the first and second-line therapy for Diabetic Macular Edema (DME). However, persistent DME were found after six months of routine anti-VEGF injection. Intravitreal steroids have the advantage to control the inflammatory component of DME. Combining intravitreal anti-VEGF and DEX may reduce macular edema more effectively and more quickly theoretically. Hence, we aim to review the efficacy of adding DEX to anti-VEGF in treating DME.
Methods: Literatures were obtained using comprehensive searching on PubMed and Proquest using the keywords “Dexamethasone implant”, “anti-VEGF therapy”, and “Diabetic Macular Edema” including their synonyms between 2018 to 2023. Non-English studies, animal studies, review articles, case studies, and editorial letters were excluded. This result was presented following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) Guidelines.
Results: A total of 3 studies with 265 eyes were included. All of the studies had Central Foveal Thickness (CFT) and Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) as the main outcomes. Improved CFT was seen in all of the studies (all p<0.05) with ∆CFT (200,40 μm in 6 months and 413 μm in 12 months). Most studies showed improved visual acuity after 8 months of injections which were shown by ∆BCVA (8,84 letters in 6 months and 21,6 letters in 12 months) and increased intraocular pressure as an adverse effect of steroids.
Conclusion: Combination of DEX and anti-VEGF showed improvement in CFT and BCVA. Further studies are required due to the controversial intravitreal steroids’ ocular adverse effect.

Abstract
The metallic bowtie antenna has shown great potential to enhance surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and various nonlinear optical effects by leveraging near-field amplification produced through localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR). However, traditional BNA antennas rely heavily on narrow nanogaps to excite strong dipole⎯dipole interactions, which induce field enhancement effects and cause significant light scattering issues. According to theoretical analysis and numerical simulations, this study proposes a method to improve near-field enhancement in hybrid bowtie nanoantennas by exciting dark plasmon modes. Specifically, this dark plasmon mode is achieved by coupling large metal-insulator-metal (MIM) structures with small arrays of silver (Ag) nanorods in the nanogap. This quasi-dark plasmon mode not only significantly reduces scattering loss but also supports stronger near-field enhancement. MIM-BNA nanostructures with arrays of Ag nanorods exhibit a local electric field amplitude approximately eight times greater than that of a pure Ag-BNA nanoantenna with the same nanogap width. This demonstrates the great potential of the improved BNA nanoantenna for SERS applications.

Authors: Abdalla Samar 
Published: December 2024

Numerous nations encountered food insecurity. Sudan is a country where food insecurity persists as a significant problem due to several issues. Despite numerous studies have been conducted to evaluate household food security using various methodological approaches, assessing the status of household food security remains necessary and essential, given the unique characteristics of different regions, household traits related to food consumption, and variables influencing food security. The aims of this study are to evaluate food security utilizing the Food Consumption Score (FCS) as a proxy measure and determine the factors that influence food security. A sample of approximately 330 households was selected from the White Nile State in Sudan. Data were collected using a structured household questionnaire and a module of the Food Consumption Score (FCS) questionnaire. Multinomial logistic regression (MLR) was employed to analyze the factors affecting food security. The FCS results categorize households into three groups: food insecure (33%), somewhat food insecure (47.3%), and food secure (19.7%). The results of MLR indicate that household size, agriculture expertise, and secondary occupation are the primary factors that significantly influence food security. The odds ratios of 87.2%, 92.8%, and 41.8% indicate a higher likelihood for households to transition from being food insecure to becoming food secure. The study suggests for educating households regarding the nutritional value of their food and strengthening the role of extension services. Ultimately, improve food security by disseminating knowledge and information via awareness initiatives conducted by the government and various food organizations.

Abstract
JWST, despite not being designed to observe astrophysical phenomena that vary on rapid timescales, can be an unparalleled tool for such studies. If timing systematics can be controlled, JWST will be able to open up the subsecond infrared timescale regime. Rapid time-domain studies, such as lag measurements in accreting compact objects and solar system stellar occultations, require both precise interframe timing and knowing when a time series begins, down to an absolute accuracy significantly below 1 s. In this work, we present two long-duration observations of the deeply eclipsing double white dwarf system ZTF J153932.16+502738.8, which we use as a natural timing calibrator to measure the absolute timing accuracy of JWST's clock. From our two epochs, we measure an average clock accuracy of 0.12 ± 0.06 s, implying that JWST can be used for subsecond time-resolution studies down to the ∼100 ms level, a factor ∼5 improvement upon the prelaunch clock accuracy requirement. We also find an asymmetric eclipse profile in the F322W2 band, which we suggest has a physical origin.
Varying Activity and the Burst Properties of FRB 20240114A Probed with GMRT Down to 300 MHz
Authors: Kumar Ajay , Maan Yogesh , Bhusare Yash 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Repeating fast radio bursts (FRBs) can exhibit a wide range of burst repetition rates, from none to hundreds of bursts per hour. Here we report the detection and characteristics of 60 bursts from the recently discovered FRB 20240114A, observed with the upgraded Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope in the frequency ranges 300–500 MHz and 550–750 MHz. The majority of the bursts show narrow emission bandwidth with Δν/ν ∼ 10%. All of the bursts we detect are faint (<10 Jy ms) and thus probe the lower end of the energy distribution. We determine the rate function for FRB 20240114A at 400 MHz and downward drift rates at 400 and 650 MHz, and we discuss our measurements in the context of the repeating FRB population. We observe sudden variations in the burst activity of FRB 20240114A over time. From our data and the publicly available information on other observations of FRB 20240114A so far, there is an indication that FRB 20240114A potentially exhibits chromaticity in its burst activity. While the burst properties of FRB 20240114A are similar to other repeating FRBs, the frequency-dependent activity, if established, could provide crucial clues to the origin of repeating FRBs. We also place the most stringent 5σ upper limits of 600 and 89 μJy on any persistent radio source (PRS) associated with FRB 20240114A at 400 and 650 MHz, respectively, and compare these with the luminosity of the known PRSs associated with FRB 121102A and FRB 190520B.
