Authors: Kumar V. , Shradqa A.S. S. , Abo Zaalan K. A. 
Published: April 2021

Purpose. To assess safety and effectiveness of calibrated cyclodialysis ab interno involving implantation of a non-absorbable collagen implant in the suprauveal space in decreasing IOP in glaucoma patients.Methods. Forty-three patients (43 eyes; 16 male and 27 females; average age — 70.4 ± 10.0 years) were included in this pilot study. A 6 mm long and 2.0 mm wide cyclodialysis cleft was created ab interno in one of the lower quadrants of the eye using a specially designed spatula followed by insertion of a strip of implant in the cleft. In 19 eyes (44.3 %) the procedure was performed as standalone procedure and in 24 eyes (55.7 %) along with cataract surgery. Outcome measures were IOP change, use of hypotensive medication(s), complications, and need for a second surgery. Decrease in IOP by >20 % and IOP between 6 and 21 mmHg without hypotensive medication(s) constituted complete success; similar changes in IOP with medication(s) constituted partial success. Need for second surgery constituted failure.Results. At 6 months, baseline IOP decreased from 20.6 ± 7.4 mmHg to 12.9 ± 4.9 mmHg (a decrease by 37.4 %; р < 0.001) and hypotensive medication use reduced from 2.6 ± 0.8 to 1.0 ± 1.1 (a reduction by 57.7 %; р < 0.001). Complete success was achieved in 19 eyes (44.2 %), partial in — 15 eyes (34.9 %). Nine eyes had unsuccessful outcomes (20.9 %); among these, seven eyes (78 %) had severe glaucoma and five eyes (55 %) had undergone previously glaucoma surgeries. Hemorrhaging at the cleft site was the most common intraoperative complication — 18 eyes (41.9 %). Postoperative complications included hyphema, which was completely resorbed within one week.Conclusion. Calibrated cyclodialysis ab interno procedure involving implantation of a non-absorbable collagen implant in the suprauveal is safe and easy to perform. It effectively decreases IOP in patients with moderate glaucoma but is less effective in patients with severe glaucoma and in patients with previously failed glaucoma surgeries. Complications were found to be minimal.

Purpose: to study the subpopulation composition of peripheral blood lymphocytes in patients with long — term chronic post-traumatic uveitis (CPT).Patients and Methods. There were 131 people aged 17 to 87 years, who received the surgical treatment in the Department of plastic surgery and eye prosthetics in NMITS eye diseases Helmholtz of the Ministry of health, Russia, where the removal of the eyeball by evisceration was carried out in 101 patients (70.3 %), 30 patients (29.7 % of cases) were enucleated. The study identified two groups: the Ist group– with the outcome of the injury, including non-penetrating (n = 46) and penetrating wounds (n = 51) of the eyes, were 97 patients; group II included 34 patients with complications due to single (n = 8) or repeated (n = 26) ophthalmic surgery (development of glaucoma and retinal detachment).Results. When analyzing the mean values, we found a decrease in the relative number of CD3+ CD4+ helpers/inducers in the blood of patients of both groups (up to 43.5 ± 0.81 and 42.19 ± 1.29 % versus 45.7 ± 1.19 % in the control), statistically confirmed for the 2nd group. Individual analysis revealed multidirectional shifts from the norm of cellular immune status of patients with PU in both groups. The most interesting, in our opinion, results were obtained by analyzing the relative number of effector cytotoxic cells of adaptive and nonspecific immunity. The increase in the relative content of t-cytotoxic lymphocytes CD3+ /CD8+ and NK-lymphocytes CD16+ /CD56+ was revealed with the same frequency, approximately in 18.5 and 19.5 % of cases in the PU group at the outcome of injury, in the 2nd group the increased number of these subpopulations was observed more often, amounting to 23.5 and 20.5 %, respectively.Conclusions. The results of the study on a large clinical material indicate that in long-term CPTU there is a pronounced systemic imbalance in the immunoregulatory subpopulations of lymphocytes, revealed by individual analysis in groups of patients.

The comparative Micro-CT analysis on trabecular bone density between hydroxyapatite gypsum puger scaffold application and bovine hydroxyapatite scaffold application
Authors: Naini Amiyatun 
Published: April 2021

Background: Generally, after tooth extraction, trauma is caused by bone damage, which leads to a decreased bone density. Bone damage repair should be conducted using a bone graft containing hydroxyapatite (HA). HA can be synthesised from gypsum puger powder, which is abundant and easy to obtain. Hydroxyapatite gypsum puger (HAGP) was successful with 100% hydroxyapatite purity level. Purpose: To compare the ratio of trabecular bone density in Wistar rats between HAGP scaffold application and bovine hydroxyapatite (BHA) scaffold application. Methods: This study is a laboratory experiment using 6 treatment groups, namely K (-) polyethylene glycol (PEG) 7, K (-) PEG 28, HAGP + PEG 7, HAGP + PEG 28, BHA + PEG 7, and BHA + PEG 28. HAGP scaffold freeze-drying. The rats were anaesthetised intramuscularly, and their left mandibular incisor was removed. The scaffold was applied to the mouse socket, followed by tissue decapitation after 7 and 28 days. The examination was carried out with micro-computed tomography (Micro-CT). Next, statistical analysis using a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) test was conducted (p <0.05). Results: The ANOVA test result showed a difference in bone density between the treatment and control groups on days 7 and 28. The Least Significant Difference (LSD) test result revealed that there was no significant difference between K (-) PEG 28 and HAGP + PEG 7 (p=0.133). Nevertheless, there were significant differences between the other groups. Conclusion: Based on the Micro-CT analysis, the trabecular bone density in Wistar rats following HAGP scaffold application is higher than that of BHA scaffold application.

» Osteonecrosis of the femoral head disproportionately affects patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and is the most frequent indication for total hip arthroplasty (THA) in these patients.» Patients with SLE are more likely to undergo THA than those without the disease, and they elect for the procedure at a younger age. More arthroplasty procedures are currently being performed on patients with SLE as the all-cause rate of arthroplasty is increasing similarly to that of the general population.» Postoperatively, patients with SLE report similar functional outcomes but lower physical quality of life compared with their peers. Sociodemographic factors should be considered as barriers to recovery and should be taken into account during patient counseling.» Past research regarding the postoperative infection risk following THA in patients with SLE has been unclear. Recent high-power data indicate that these patients have a higher risk of periprosthetic infection for unclear reasons.» SLE is an independent risk factor for perioperative medical complications, including the need for blood transfusion, genitourinary complications, sepsis, acute renal disease, deep venous thrombosis, and falls, among other adverse events. The current perioperative treatment guidelines were founded on low-to-moderate-quality studies.

Abstract
Background: Cryptosporidiosis is a disease caused by infection with an intestinal coccidian parasite Cryptosporidium. Cryptosporidium species are the second leading cause of diarrheal disease and death in children in developing countries. Until now, no data have been available or published on its prevalence rate among children with diarrhoea in Sudan. This paper was therefore, designed to determine the prevalence rate of Cryptosporidium among diarrhoeic children under 5 years admitted to Kosti Teaching Hospital. Methods: A hospital-based cross-sectional study including children with ages under 5 years old admitted to the paediatric section of the hospital between September 2020 and December 2020. A total of one-hundred and fifty stool samples were collected. All stool samples were examined using the modified Ziehl Neelsen (ZN) staining technique, and examined microscopically for Cryptosporidium infection. Results: A total of 150 children were examined out of which 70 presented with diarrhoea. A greater prevalence of 19/70 (27.1%) of Cryptosporidium was observed in children with diarrhoea than children without diarrhoea 7/80 (8.8%). There was a significant relationship between the prevalence of Cryptosporidium and the presence of diarrhoea in children under 5 years in Kosti Teaching Hospital(P<0.05). It was found that a higher prevalence was registered among children using pipe water for drinking.Conclusions: The overall prevalence of parasite detected was 17.3% among children admitted to Kosti Teaching Hospital. The prevalence rate of the infection among Children with diarrhoea was 27.1%. Studying the prevalence rate of cryptosporidiosis among diarrheic children may predict their health status, leading to a better diagnosis, treatment, and therefore, patients' status improvement.

Published: April 2021

Abstract
Biochars have been modified by alkali (Ca(OH)2) to enhance Cd sorption capacity in aqueous solution. In this research, the alkali-modified (Ca) biochars were prepared by co-pyrolyzing lime (Ca(OH)2) and soybean straw (SBB) or rape straw (RSB) at 450 °C. The absorption mechanism was investigated by a series of experiments and was provided by quantitative analysis. The maximum adsorption capacities of Cd2+ by Ca-SBB and Ca-RSB were calculated to be 78.49 mg g−1 and 49.96 mg g−1, which were 1.56 and 1.48 times higher than SBB (50.40 mg g−1) and RSB (33.79 mg g−1), respectively. Compared with the original biochar (SBB, RSB), alkali-modified biochars (Ca-SBB and Ca-RSB) were found to have faster adsorption kinetics and lower desorption efficiencies. The mechanism study indicated that Ca(OH)2 modification effectively enhanced the contribution of ion exchange and decreased the contribution of functional groups complexation. After Ca(OH)2 modification, precipitation and ion exchange mechanisms dominated Cd2 + absorption on Ca-SBB, accounting for 49.85% and 34.94% of the total adsorption, respectively. Similarily ion exchange and precipitation were the main adsorption mechanism on Ca-RSB, accounting however for 61.91% and 18.47% of total adsorption, respectively. These results suggested that alkali-modified biochars have great potential in adsorbing cadmium in wastewater.

Published: April 2021

Abstract
Microbial profile knowledge is essential to news alternatives and improvements in current treatments and destinations of landfill leachate that contains a variety of toxic compounds produced by municipal solid waste (MSW) disposal. Environmental DNA metabarcoding is an efficient, quick, and low-cost methodology for whole communities’ characterization. In this respect, the leachate from the Sanitary Landfill of Foz do Iguaçu City showed mixed characteristics from both acid and methanogenic phases, and 16S rDNA metabarcoding suggested the dominance of fermenting bacteria belonging to Firmicutes phylum, followed by Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes and Synergistetes. The leachate acidogenic phase ended up being masked in the chemical and physical analyzes, however was evidenced in the metabarcoding methodology. On the other hand, no specifically methanogenic group was detected in significant abundance. To future application using culturomics approaches to bioremediation the leachate sample presented groups extensively studied, especially the Pseudomonas genus to heavy metals treatments, such as cadmium.

Abstract
Precise evaluation of evapotranspiration in an extended area is crucial for water requirement. By using remote sensing evapotranspiration algorithms, many climatological variables are needed. In case of using climatological variable measurements, many climatic stations must be established in that specific area. By using data mining method integrated with remote sensing, evapotranspiration can be calculated with high accuracy. A physical-based SEBAL evapotranspiration algorithm was modeled by GIS model builder for ET calculations. Albedo, emissivity, and Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) were considered as M5 decision tree model inputs. Evapotranspiration was evaluated for 3 April 2020 to 17 September 2020 and the equations were extracted in the M5 decision tree model and these equations were modeled in GIS by using python scripts for 3 April 2020 to 17 September 2020. The results make clear that the mathematical decision tree model can estimate the evapotranspiration gained by physical-based SEBAL algorithm in high accurately.
