Bacterial infections are the leading cause of mortality, due to the paucity of effective drugs. This study aimed to synthesize AgNPs loaded with fresh leaves & bulbs extracts of Narcissus tazetta and evaluate antimicrobial and antibiofilm potential against selected bacterial and fungal isolates using standard microbiological protocols. Different techniques like FTIR spectroscopy, GC-MS, electron microscopy and HPLC were used to characterize the AgNPs. The AgNPs synthesized from crude extract of leaves and bulb were checked and were found effective against all the bacterial isolates except E. coli however, strong biofilm inhibition potential was observed in case of E.coli. The synthesized AgNPs showed dose dependent zone of inhibition higher for methanol and lower for n-Hexane against both Gram + ve and Gram -ve bacterial strains, exhibiting the anti-microbial potential. Biofilm inhibition was recorded at sub-MIC values against Gram + ve and Gram -ve bacterial strains. Antifungal activity of AgNPs was observed only at a higher concentration against Aspergillus niger, Fusarium oxysporum and Alternaria alternata while Aspergillus terreus was resistant even at higher concentrations. In conclusion, we can say that the plant possesses pronounced antimicrobial potential with a wide range of the bioactive compounds, which can be explored for pharmaceutical purposes.
The outbreak of lung injuries often known as "EVALI" was nothing to do with nicotine vaping
Authors: Bates Clive 
Published: July 2021

Many commentators, activists, academics and public health agencies continue to assert or imply that an outbreak of severe and fatal lung injuries that occurred primarily in the United States between mid-2019 and early 2020 may have been caused in part by nicotine vaping. This condition is often known as “EVALI” (E-cigarette, or Vaping, product use-Associated Lung Injury), a term coined by the US Centers For Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). However, an examination of the evidence shows that _EVALI cannot have been caused by nicotine vaping_. The characteristics of the lung injury outbreak are consistent with localised supply chain contamination. The contaminant has been identified and is known to be Vitamin E Acetate. This had been used as a thickener or cutting agent in illicit Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) cannabis vape pens. This agent cannot be added to nicotine vaping liquids and would serve no useful purpose if it could be. No other or cause or causal agent has been identified that would implicate nicotine liquids and that would be consistent with the geographical and temporal pattern of this lung injury outbreak. There is a vanishing small chance that a second cause would be found in nicotine liquids, coinciding with the same geography, timing and symptoms as Vitamin E Acetate contamination of THC oils. Further, it is highly unlikely that this hypothetical and currently unidentified cause would disappear in early 2020 without some identifiable remedial action in nicotine vaping products. But there has been no identifiable remedial action - nicotine vaping products have not changed, but EVALI has largely gone. The attribution of EVALI to nicotine vaping should stop, the term EVALI should be retired and replaced, risk communicators should shoulder their responsibility to correct residual false risk perceptions, and serious consideration should be given to the advantages of legalising and regulating cannabis products.

Objective: This study aims to investigate mRNA expression of PD-1 and PD-L1 in patients with bladder cancer. Material & Methods: In this study, we examined 30 samples from paraffin embedded tissue blocks, samples were divided into two groups, 15 were NIMBC, and 15 were MIBC according to their histopathological result. mRNA expression of PD-1 and PD-L1 were conducted using Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR) and statistical significance was set at a p-value < 0.05. Results: Statistical analysis using the Mann-Whitney test found a significant difference in mRNA expression of PD-1 and PD-L1 in NMIBC compared to MIBC groups. Conclusion: mRNA expression of PD-1 and PD-L1 were higher in MIBC compared to NMIBC. PD-1 and PD-L1 as immune checkpoints are potential immunotherapy for patients with advance stage bladder cancer. Immunotherapy could be a substitute or combined with other treatments such as chemotherapy or radiotherapy.

Authors: Nurakbariansyah Rocky , Soebadi Doddy M. , Djatisoesanto Wahjoe , Renaldo Johan 
Published: July 2021

Objective: This study aimed to compare the efficacy of Low-Intensity Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (Li-ESWT) and oral therapy combination compared to sole oral therapy for reducing symptoms in CP/CPPS patients. Material & Methods: A systematic search was conducted from the electronic database including PubMed, Clinicaltrial.gov, and Cochrane Library, published up to July 2020 following the PRISMA guideline. We screened RCTs with the inclusion criteria and assessed the quality with the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool. The primary outcome was the National Institute of Health Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index (NIH-CPSI) and subgroup analysis for triple therapy users was conducted to improve interpretability. The analysis was performed using Review Manager 5.3. Results: A total of 2 RCTs consisted of 91 CP/CPPS patients were analyzed. Pooled analysis showed that compared to the oral therapy only group, combination therapy had a significant lower NIH-CPSI total score at the endpoint of the treatment (MD -7.46, 95% CI -9.85 to -5.07, p<0.001) and NIH-CPSI component pain score (MD -3.48, 95% CI -5.04 to -1.93, p<0.0001), urinary symptoms score (MD -0.96, 95% CI -1.47 to -0.45, p<0.001), and quality of life (QoL) impact score (MD -2.94; 95% CI -3.68 to -2.20, p=<0.001). Conclusion: This review revealed that patients undergoing combination Li-ESWT therapy have lower total NIH-CPSI scores than patients receiving oral therapy alone, this finding is consistent with each component of the score: pain, urinary symptoms, and impact on QoL.

Authors: Suryatmana Anggana , Soebadi Doddy M. , Djojodimedjo Tarmono 
Published: July 2021

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of the ultrasonic lithotriptor compared to the combined ultrasonic-pneumatic lithotriptor in percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). Material & Methods: A systematic search was conducted focusing on studies evaluating nephrolithiasis patients who underwent PCNL using pneumatic, ultrasonic, ultrasonic-pneumatic, or laser lithotriptor. The search was conducted in the PUBMED and Science-direct databases from early to September 2020. Results: There were 406 journals in the initial search. On further selection, 3 randomized controlled trials (RCT) were obtained, with a total of 251 patients. The stone-free rate of three studies had low heterogeneity, I2=0% (P=0.34), so a fixed effect statistical model was used. There was no significant difference (P=0.44) between the stone-free rates from the ultrasonic lithotriptor group and the combination with an odds ratio of 1.26 (95% CI = 0.70-2.26). High heterogeneity was obtained with I2=71% (P=0.03) for the mean fragmentation time, so random effect statistical model was used. There was no significant difference (P=0.56) between the mean fragmentation time of the ultrasonic lithotriptor and combination group with a mean difference of -3.69 (95% CI = -16.09-8.71). Conclusion: The ultrasonic lithotriptor did not have a significant difference in stone-free rate, and mean fragmentation time compared to the combined ultrasonic-pneumatic lithotriptor in PCNL. More RCT studies are needed.
A Comparison between the Spatial Intelligence of the Freshman Engineering Students of Sharif University of Technology and Debrecen University
Authors: Nagy-Kondor Rita , Esmailnia Saeed 
Published: July 2021

The goal of this paper is to compare freshman engineering students' spatial abilities (Spatial Intelligence) at two universities: Sharif University in Tehran and Debrecen University of Hungary, focusing on both their final mathematical exam performance and their gender so as to ascertain whether the students differ significantly in terms of their spatial abilities and/or their problem solving methods. The tests used to measure spatial intelligence performance and mental rotation was the Purdue Spatial Visualization Test (PSVT Branoff). The test results have been statistically evaluated and conclusions formulated. The results show that there was no significant difference between Iranian and Hungarian freshman engineering students in the performance of mental rotation tasks. However, a general gender difference in spatial ability performance was evident among the Hungarian students but not among the Iranians. The results also shed light on spatial rotation problem-solving methods that appear to be largely specific to females.
A New Dimension of Health Care: The Benefits, Limitations and Implications of Virtual Medicine
Authors: Shah Kesha , Tomljenovic-Berube Ana 
Published: July 2021

Background: Virtual medicine has been rapidly evolving over the past several decades. However, obstacles such as data security, inadequate funding and limited technological resources have hindered its seamless incorporation into the health care system. The recent pandemic has induced a widespread adoption of virtual care practices to remove the need for physical meetings between patients and health care practitioners.
Purpose: This literature review aims to examine the current state of virtual medicine amid the COVID-19 pandemic and evaluate the benefits, limitations and implications of continuing technological advancements in the future.
Findings: Most of the available literature suggests that the recent adoption of virtual medicine has allowed practitioners to cut down on costs and secondary expenses while maintaining the quality of medical care services. Due to the growing consumer demand, researchers predict that virtual medicine may be a viable modality for patient care post-pandemic. However, concerns surrounding patient security and digital infrastructure threaten the ability of virtual medicine to provide quality and effective health care. Additionally, rural virtual medicine programs face challenges in expanding services due to the scarcity of information and communication technology specialists and inadequate funding. Comprehensive legislation and governance standards must be implemented to ensure proper data security and privacy. Additional funds may also be required to train staff, reform current digital software and improve the quality of service. The proliferation of advanced technologies and improvements in current platforms will enable more providers to render virtual medical care services.

Authors: Alwidyan Mahmoud , Oteir Alaa , Mohammad Anas , Williams Brett 
Published: July 2021

Introduction The outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has overwhelmed healthcare systems and exposed healthcare providers (and their families) to a high risk of infection and death. This study aimed to assess the willingness of healthcare providers in Jordan to report for duty and provide care to COVID-19 patients. Methods An online questionnaire was developed including questions about demographics, willingness to report to work and provide care to COVID-19 patients, and potential associated factors. Results A total of 253 participants completed the survey (mean age 33.8 years, 58.6% male). The sample included physicians (14.9%), nurses (61.1%) and paramedics (23%). Most participants (96.4%) were willing to come to work during the pandemic, although only 64.7% showed a willingness to provide care to COVID-19 patients. Being male (OR 3.21; 95% CI: 1.75-5.90) or having adequate training on COVID-19 (OR 5.16; 95% CI: 2.32-11.46) were the major predictors for willingness to care for COVID-19 patients, whereas concerns for family safety (OR 0.25; 95% CI: 0.14-0.47) or lack of information about COVID-19 (OR 0.43; 95% CI: 0.23-0.80) were the major predicting barriers for willingness to care for COVID-19 patients. Conclusion Although most participants were willing to report for duty, less than two-thirds were willing to care for COVID-19 patients. Being male and receiving training are associated with willingness; whereas concern for family is associated with less willingness to care for COVID-19 patients.

Published: July 2021

Introduction University life can be daunting, especially for those transferring directly from high school. Previous research has found higher education students are at increased risk of mental health issues than the general population. Paramedic students have the usual concerns regarding study, in addition to the potential to be exposed to confronting emergency medical situations during clinical placements. The study aim was to examine whether the presence of a wellness dog had any impact on paramedicine undergraduate students self-reported emotional wellbeing. Methods A wellness dog (named ‘Watson’) was available on alternating weeks for 15 minutes at the beginning of lectures for three individual units. Each unit corresponded to a different year group of paramedic undergraduate students. A brief emotional experience scale was completed at the beginning of each lecture. Comparisons were made between Watson being present versus absent to gauge differences in students’ emotional wellness. Focus groups were run at the end of semester to further explore perceptions of Watson's impact on emotional wellbeing. Results A total of 89 participants were included in the study. Participant emotional wellbeing was found to be higher on ‘Watson present’ weeks compared to ‘Watson absent’ weeks (p<0.001). Focus group data strongly supported Watson's presence in clinical and non-clinical classes, improving self-reported wellbeing and cohort connectivity. Conclusion The presence of a wellness dog appears to have a beneficial impact on undergraduate paramedic students’ emotional wellbeing. Further research is required to explore whether the presence of a wellness dog affects physiological indicators of stress, attrition rates and class attendance.

Published: July 2021

Зважаючи на значимість достовірності даних щодо вогнезахисної здатності вогнезахисних матеріалів при визначенні проєктних параметрів об’єктів вогнезахисту, актуальними є дослідження, спрямовані на подальше удосконалення і розвиток методів оцінювання показників якості цих матеріалів, в тому числі в частині показників точності отримуваних результатів. В статті наведено результати дослідження збіжності показників точності європейських і національних методів розрахунку мінімальної товщини вогнезахисних матеріалів, призначених для захисту сталевих конструкцій, які ґрунтуються на розв’язанні рівняння теплопровідності (зі змінним і сталим коефіцієнтом теплопровідності вогнезахисного матеріалу). Під час цього дослідження для визначення показників точності європейських розрахункових методів використовували процедуру валідації, яка ґрунтується на застосуванні методу обчислювального експерименту. За цією процедурою визначено показники точності європейських розрахункових методів, які ґрунтуються на розв’язанні рівняння теплопровідності і наведено в EN 13381-4:2013 і EN 13381-8:2013. Для програмної реалізації процедури валідація було розроблено блок-схеми і програмне забезпечення з використанням мови програмування Python 3.7 з інтегрованим середовищем розробки JetBrains PyCharm. За результатами проведеної валідації встановлено, що діапазони відхилення між розрахунковими і дійсними величинами мінімальної товщини вогнезахисного матеріалу для європейських методів зі змінним і сталим коефіцієнтом теплопровідності відповідно становлять від –2,6 % до 2,4 % і від –0,3 % до 3,5 %, що є прийнятним для практичного застосування цих методів. Встановлено, що має місце значна відмінність між значеннями показників точності європейських і національних розрахункових методів, які наведено в ДСТУ Б В.1.1-17:2007. Діапазон відхилення між розрахунковими і дійсними величинами мінімальної товщини вогнезахисного матеріалу для європейських розрахункових методів значно (у 22,8 рази) менший ніж для національних методів.
