How bean weevil (Acanthoscelides obtectus, Coleoptera, Bruchinae) larvae die on legume seeds
Authors: Szentesi Árpád 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
BackgroundThe host specificity and the range of possible wild and cultivated hosts of the dry bean weevil, Acanthoscelides obtectus (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae, Bruchinae), a seed predator of beans, is poorly known. In addition, female oviposition preference and larval performance relationship is complicated by the respective importance of seed coat and cotyledon, because, on the one hand, paradoxically, females lay eggs on the basis of stimuli of the seed coat alone, without directly being able to assess the quality of cotyledon’s suitability for larval development. On the other, the thickness of seed coat may prevent first instar larvae from entering the seeds, even if cotyledons were suitable for development.ResultsThe seeds of 62 leguminous species and 82 accessions occurring in Hungary were tested in no-choice tests for egg-laying. The ability of first instar larvae to overcome seed coat, as a physical barrier, was measured with intact seed coat, whereas drilled seed coats allowed assessing the suitability of cotyledon for development. Seeds of 18 species (35% of them Lathyrus) supported larval development to adults, if the seed coat was drilled, however, only nine produced adults, if the seed coat was intact. Seed coats thicker than 0.1 mm could be an obstacle for first instar larvae. There was no overall positive correlation between oviposition preference and larval performance, with the exception of 16 so-called acceptable non-hosts (Kendall’s τ = 0.3088). Bean weevil females also demonstrated an ovipositional hierarchy of legume species even in no-choice tests.ConclusionsResults demonstrate that whereas the use of some acceptable non-host species by the bean weevil is possible in seed stores, the same is unlikely under outdoor conditions, because it requires the recognition of basically different oviposition substrates (pods).

Abstract
Background: Health management information system (HMIS) is a system that allows for the collection, storage, compilation, transmission, analysis and usage of health data that assist decision makers and stakeholders manage and plan resources at every level of health service. The objective was to assess Health Management Information System (HMIS) implementation in south west shewa, oromia, central Ethiopia 2019.Methods and Materials: The assessment was conducted in south west Shewa from August 17 to 25, 2019. Facility based cross sectional study design was employed and 22 health centers were included in the study. Collected data was entered in Epi-data and analyzed using SPSS 23 and Microsoft excel 2010.Results: Among health centers assessed 58% and 92% had HMIS unit and electric power respectively. In all woredas HMIS focal person was assigned and trained on information use. At health center level HMIS recording and reporting, indicator reference, NCoD and information use manuals availability were 25%, 33%, 17% and 58% respectively. The study shows that implementation of information display, and functionality of PMT were 74% and 58% respectively. During the assessment interviewed midwives on the service delivery unit only 75% of health center define and record new and repeat acceptor of family planning according to the national revised HMIS indicators. Also 67% of health officer assigned to outpatient department define new and repeat and filled in the register properly and some of them didn’t use NCoD to classify HMIS disease classification.Conclusions: Health management information System (HMIS) in south west shewa zone was not fully implemented and there is a challenge related to improving data accuracy, access to computerized HMIS data and competencies to analyze, interpret and use of HMIS data at health center levels. Also, presence of reporting mechanism, displaying information and feedback mechanism were poor at health center level. Therefore, it is important to function performance monitoring team meeting and supportive supervision regularly at all levels.
WITHDRAWN: Assessing terrestrial carbon sink potential from vegetation under optimal land management

Published: November 2020

Abstract
The global temperature could increase over 1.5 or even 2 °C by the middle of 21st century due to massive emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) — of which carbon dioxide (CO2) is the largest component1. Human activities emit more than 10 PgC (1PgC=1015gC) per year into the atmosphere1, which is regarded as the primary reason for increased atmospheric CO2 concentration and global warming2. Global vegetation sequesters 112–169 PgC each year3, about half of which is released back into the atmosphere through autotrophic respiration while the rest, termed as net primary production (NPP), is for balancing the CO2 emissions from human activities, microbial respiration, and decomposition4. Carbon sequestration from vegetation varies under different environmental conditions5 and could also be significantly altered by land management practices (LMPs)6. Adopting optimal land management practices (OLMPs) helps sequester more CO2 from the atmosphere and mitigate climate changes. Understanding the extra carbon sequestration with OLMPs, or termed as carbon gap, is an important scientific topic that is rarely studied. Here we propose an integrated method to identify the location-specific OLMPs and assess the carbon gap by using remotely sensed time-series of NPP dataset, segmented landscape-vegetation-soil (LVS) zones and distance-constrained zonal analysis. The findings show that the carbon gap from global land plants totaled 13.74 PgC per year with OLMPs referenced from within a 20km neighborhood, an equivalent of ~1/5 of the total sequestered net carbon at the current level; half of the carbon gap clusters in only ~15% of vegetated area. The carbon gap flux rises with population density and the priority for implementing OLMPs should be given to the densely populated areas to enhance the global carbon sequestration capacity.

Authors: Patel Dipti Manojbhai , Baxi Seema N 
Published: November 2020

Introduction: Neoplastic ovarian lesions have been extensively studied, but less attention is paid to non-neoplastic cystic lesions. Though follicular cysts are the most common of the non-neoplastic cysts, the % of occurrence of individual non-neoplastic lesions is not known. Also, often there is dilemma in reporting the exact type of nonneoplastic cyst. This study was planned with the objectives of assessing percentage of non neoplastic cystic ovaries, determining the morphological forms and relation of the various cysts with age of patient, and to detect whether multicystic non neoplastic lesions are more frequent in present day.
Materials and methods: A prospective hospital based cross sectional non-neoplastic ovarian cysts study was done between January to June 2019 in a tertiary hospital. All hysterectomy specimens with the accompanying ovary/ovaries and oophorectomy specimen were included. Microscopic features were assessed. Data was tabulated in MS excel sheet. Percentage of occurrences of age, size, morphological type, laterality and complaints were calculated.
Result:50% of 193 ovaries had non neoplastic cystic lesions. Non neoplastic cysts were associated with fibroid in 54%, DUB in 17% and adenomyosis in 16% cases. They were seen commonly during reproductive age group(83%). Post-menopausal age showed 16% cases. 86% of the non neoplastic ovarian cystic lesions were unilateral. 20% non neoplastic cystic lesions were of <1cm, 74% were 1-5 cm in size and 5% were larger than 5 cm. Morphologically 40% were follicular lesions, 32% were simple serous cysts, 14% were haemorrhagic cysts, 8% corpus luteal cysts and 2% each theca lutein and epithelial inclusion cysts.
Conclusion: Non neoplastic cystic ovaries comprised 50% of all ovarian lesions, 83% were seen during reproductive age group. Leiomyoma, dysfunctional uterine bleeding and adenomyosis were the common clinical features and 70% of the cysts were 1-5 cm in size. There was no relation between morphological types of the cystic lesions and functional status. Simple serous cyst, cystic follicle, follicular cyst, cystic corpus luteum, corpus luteal cyst, theca luteal cyst, epithelial inclusion cyst and haemorrhagic cyst were found of which follicular cyst was the commonest (40%) Multicystic non neoplastic lesions or polycystic ovaries were not found during the period of study.

Published: November 2020

Background: The various advantages of Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy/ cytology can be limited due to inadequacy of the specimen and expertise required for diagnosis. Cell blocks (CBs), though routinely used in cytology of body fluids, can also be used in FNA material with considerable increase in diagnostic accuracy. Aims & objectives: To compared FNA & CB as diagnostic tool and to evaluate whether cell block adds to the diagnostic accuracy of FNA.
Methods: This is a two years prospective study carried out in the pathology department of a tertiary heath care hospital and medical college of South India which included the cases undergoing the FNAC, and followed by the biopsy. CB was prepared using Tissue coagulum clot (TCC) method. The smears and tissue sections were assessed for cellularity and adequacy for diagnosis. CBs were grouped into four diagnostic categories. FNA & CB were compared with histopathology (HPE) diagnosis to calculate Sensitivity, Specificity and Diagnostic Accuracy.
Result: A total of 195 cases were included. Cellularity and adequacy for diagnosis were higher in CB. They were diagnostically better (superior) in 13.84% (27) cases. The sensitivity (95.77%) and diagnostic accuracy (94.87%) of CB was found to be considerably higher than FNA (78.84% and 78.46% respectively).
Conclusion: In cases of suspicious/ intermediate diagnosis or diagnosis discordant with clinical ones, by FNA; should be followed with the CB to improve the diagnostic yield & to facilitate accurate diagnoses. TCC method is a simple CB method which has higher diagnostic accuracy than FNA.

Published: November 2020

Background: Neonatal septicemia is defined as a clinical syndrome characterized by systemic signs and symptoms caused by a bacterial infection and gives positive blood culture in the first month of life. It is associated with high morbidity and mortality, but early diagnosis and treatment significantly improve the outcomes. The present study brings out a quick and cost- effective Hematological Scoring System that enables early diagnosis of neonatal sepsis
Method: This study was conducted in the Department of Pathology of Sree Gokulam Medical College and Research Foundation, Venjaramoodu, Thiruvananthapuram over 1 year. Eighty neonates with clinical suspicion of sepsis were studied with respect to their peripheral smear findings, blood culture and C-reactive protein levels.
Result: Among the eighty cases, twelve neonates were culture positive. Male gender and late- onset of sepsis were the significant risk parameters. Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus were the most common isolated organisms. Of the different parameters studied I:T ratio and Absolute neutrophil count showed the highest specificity and immature neutrophil count had the highest sensitivity. Forty-one percent of neonates had a high Hematological Scoring System score. The specificity of Hematological Scoring System with a score > 5 was 92%
Conclusion: Hematological Scoring System is a cost-effective, rapid and easy to perform screening test that can be used to rule out sepsis thus avoiding unnecessary administration of antibiotics to unaffected babies. It should be adopted as a routine screening procedure by minimally qualified rural doctors with minimal resources to ensure appropriate action immediately for children with high index of suspicion of sepsis.

Abstract
Economic growth of any nation like India depends on growth of cities. In India 31% of the total population exists in urban areas. The smart city mission of India was established with the objective to deliver the basic requirements of the citizens in a sustainable manner. Madurai city located at Peninsular India with a 1.4 million population was taken for this study. The objective was to develop an integrated urban water management strategy after analysing all the components of the urban water cycle such as rainfall, runoff, groundwater and wastewater. The population forecast for 2021 was carried out for the Local Planning Area of 726.34 km2 and the water demand was calculated as 109 Mm3/year. To meet the demand, runoff from the average rainfall was estimated as 393 Mm3/yr using the SCS-CN method. The storage capacity in the water bodies to store the surface water was estimated as 156 Mm3/yr and groundwater recharge potential was estimated as 22 Mm3/yr. The integrated urban water management strategy developed, shows that there is a huge potential for rainwater storage at the surface level and subsequent recharge through artificial recharge techniques.
Aumento da Arrecadação: Criar Novas Recebedorias Federais Não Atinge o Objetivo
Authors: Viana Paulo Coriolano Tunis 
Published: November 2020

Estuda o presente trabalho a criação de novas Recebedorias Federais, na conformidade do que dispõem os projetos de Lei nº 2.397-60 e 4 014-62. O autor, chefe da S.F.C., do Ministério da Fazenda, demonstra a inconveniência de aprovação, pelo Legislativo, dos mencionados projetos. Para tanto, enumera, uma série de razões e argumentos contrários às disposições dos mesmos, destacando-se, entre eles, as dispendiosas manutenção de tais organismos: a sua inaptidão, comprovada na pratica, para atingir suas finalidades, no rápido atendimento do contribuinte: a transferência de atribuições próprias, já postas em pratica, a organismos privados, em demonstração ostensiva de incapacidade; e vários outros que, no parecer do autor, condenam, até as Recebedorias Federais já existentes. Para fortalecer a defesa de sua tese vale-se de estatísticas, demonstrando que, em 1962 as 16 maiores Coletorias Federais, situadas quase todas em S. Paulo, com apenas 158 funcionários arrecadaram mais que a Recebedoria Federal do Estado da Guanabara, com 306 funcionários. Mas, o trunfo decisivo do autor é a afirmação de que cerca de 500 órgãos arrecadadores, pelo menos tem arrecadação inferior às despesas das próprias manutenções.

Published: November 2020

Mucinous carcinoma is a rare appendage tumor that is resistant to surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. It has an unremarkable appearance and must be distinguished as a primary tumor or as a metastasis from distant sites. Detailed imaging studies and immunohistochemical investigation are often essential. Here, we report a case of surgery-refractory primary mucinous carcinoma on the left nasal bridge in a 62-year-old female that ultimately required removal by Mohs surgery.

Published: November 2020

Introduction: Scabies represents a significant burden worldwide, but epidemiologically, how it relates to socioeconomic status, and impact of recent global interventions remains largely unknown.Methods: We analyzed global scabies trends from 2015 to 2017 in 195 countries worldwide through the Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD) database, including age-standardized prevalence rates, relationship to comorbidities, and age and sex patterns. We also compared scabies burden to a country’s socioeconomic status by using disability-adjusted life years and socio-demographic index, respectively. Results: The age-specific prevalence rate in 2017 demonstrated a right skewed distribution with a peak between 15 and 20 years of age, and a roughly equal male:female ratio across all ages. Scabies burden was higher in resource-poor countries. The world regions of Oceania, Southeast Asia, East Asia, and tropical Latin America had the greatest prevalence of scabies. The individual countries with highest scabies burden were Papua New Guinea (age-standardized DALYs 148.2), Solomon Islands (140.5), Kiribati (139.9), Timor-Leste (138.2) and the Maldives (134.9). A positive linear relationship exists between scabies burden and burden of rheumatic fever and bacterial skin disease.Conclusion: The burden of scabies is highest in children, adolescents, tropical climates, and low income countries. Rheumatic fever and bacterial skin disease burden is higher in areas where scabies burden is also higher. These global data may potentially serve as a purposeful measure for directing resources to improve the global burden of scabies.
