Authors: Sanusi A. R. , Oseni  S. O.  
Published: February 2021

The rearing of indigenous chickens is an integral part of the smallholder farming systems in developing countries, where they are kept by the rural poor to satisfy multiple functions Thus, the growth performance of Nigerian Fulani ecotype chicken (NFEC) under intensive and pastured poultry production systems was evaluated. Two hundred, day-old chicks of Nigerian Fulani ecotype chicken (NFEC) were obtained. The chickens were separated randomly to intensive and pastured poultry production systems at 12 weeks of age. Data on body weight ® were taken weekly from day-old to 20 weeks. Data were analyzed using PROC GLM of SAS at statistical significance level of P<0.05. Results showed significant effect of sex of chicken th th from the 10 to the 20 week of age (P<0.05). Significant interaction effect was observed between sex and production system at weeks 16 and 18 (P<0.05) when the male chickens under the intensive production system outpaced their male counterparts in the pastured poultry. Average daily gain for the period of 20 weeks was 6.83g and 9.21g for female and male chickens, respectively. Weight gain pattern across weeks was not uniform. There was no significant difference in the growth rate in the two production systems (P>0.05). The study revealed that little disparity exists in growth performance of NFEC under the pastured and deep-litter production systems.

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of Biostrong® 510 15% (BSG) inbroiler chickens diet. It was included at 0 g, 75 g, 100 g and 125 g/100 Kg diet, for T1-T4respectively while T5 had Oxytetracycline. Data was collected on growth performanceindices, haematological parameters, liver function indices, kidney function, blood mineralprofile, immune response, antioxidant capacity, villi morphometrics, lipid profile, ileum andceacum microbial contents, carcass quality parameters, and tibia bone quality indices. Alldata collected were subjected to analysis of variance and significant differences amongtreatment means were compared using the Tukey test of significance. Growth erformance showed that broilers fed diet containing 100g BSG had optimum performance among other levels. Haematological and liver function indices were not significantly (P>0.05) different. Birds fed BSG showed decreased cholesterol, triglycerides and high-density lipoprotein compared to the control treatment. Birds fed levels of BSG and AGP had significantly higher bone weight, bone density, bone dry matter and bone ash as compared to birds on the control group. All carcass evaluation parameters were significantly (P<0.05) different among treatments except for dressed weight, breast and kidney. Levels of BSG in the diet significantly lowered the cost of production than AGPs of finisher broilers improved liver health, bone strength, villi characteristics, increased beneficial bacteria population and also prevent the colonization of the gut by pathogenic bacteria thus improving the health of the birds. Biostrong® 510 15%, can therefore effectively replace antibiotic growth promoters in broiler chicken production.

El 10 de octubre de 2016 se celebró, en la Facultad de Filosofía de la Universidad Complutense, un encuentro titulado Ramón enseñó en público su Arte - Raimundus Artem suam publice legit. Coloquio 700 aniversario de Ramon Llull, auspiciado por el Departamento de Filosofía y Sociedad (UCM), y organizado por José Luis Villacañas y José Higuera Rubio.
En el marco de esa jornada, José Luis Villacañas sugirió la posibilidad de publicar los resultados de este encuentro en una entrega especial de la revista ASHF, y encargó a los editores del monográfico un estudio bibliográfico de la obra de Llull y de la historia del lulismo. Debido al gran número de compromisos asumidos durante el aniversario luliano (2015-2016) algunos de los participantes de aquella reunión postergaron su contribución. Por lo tanto, ofrecemos en este número especial los resultados del coloquio, enriquecidos con otras aportaciones que surgieron en el contexto del aniversario luliano celebrado en Santa fe de Bogotá durante la exposición bibliográfica que la Biblioteca Nacional de Colombia dedicó a la figura de Llull y a las ediciones que conserva de su obra recogidas por las bibliotecas coloniales neogranadinas. La convergencia de estos trabajos y de sus autores ha tomado algún tiempo, percance agravado por las contingencias ocurridas el año anterior. Sin embargo, esperamos que este volumen permita al lector aproximarse tanto a la obra luliana como a su variada y prolongada recepción.

What Is The Need For Repeat Angiography In Spontaneous Subarachnoid Hemorrhages With Negative Initial Angiogram?
Authors: ÖZKUL Ayça 
Published: February 2021

Objective: Repeat angiography is usually performed in spontaneous SAH patients who have negative initial angiography. In this study we aimed to evaluate the yield of repeat angiography in spontaneous SAH with different clinics and bleeding paterns.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on spontaneous SAH patients who admitted to our neurosurgery clinic. The patients were divided into two groups as perimesencephalic and nonperimesencephalic SAH according to their bleeding patern on cerebral CT. Demographic and clinic data, routine follow-up cerebral angiography within 2 weeks, complications due to repeated cerebral angiography and the presence of new detected vascular pathology were all recorded.
Results: 208 patients with spontaneous SAH with mean age 60.00±15.82 (20-83) years were included. The Fisher score was found lower in perimesencephalic SAH patients. Mortality was also seen more frequently in nonperimesencephalic SAH. In repeat angiography vascular pathology related with SAH was found in only nonperimesencephalic SAH patients without any statistically significancy (0 vs 4, p:0.078). The incidence of complications due to repeat angiography was similiar in both groups.
Conclusion: In conclusion clinicians should consider to evaluate the spontaneous SAH with subsequent neuroimaging tests once more to rule out cerebral vascular pathologies. Our data suggested that perimesencephalic SAH has a better Fisher score and less mortality when compared with nonperimesencephalic SAH. Our perimesencephalic SAH patients have no vascular pathology even after repeat angiography. Therefore high quality MR angiography or CTangiography can be easily performed rather than cerebral angiography which is an invasive imaging method. Cerebral angiography should be considered only in suspected cases with perimesencephalic SAH.
Intravenous Thrombolytic Therapy for Acute Ischemic Stroke: Experiences of a Tertiary Hospital in Turkey
Authors: YİLMAZ Murat 
Published: February 2021

Objective: The aim of this study is to retrospectively collect the data of 95 patients with ischemic stroke who received intravenous (IV) tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) therapy between 2015 and 2019 in our clinic, to present the experiences of our clinic.
Method: The data of the patients, who applied to our clinic with the diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke between 2015 and 2019, who received thrombolytic therapy, were reviewed retrospectively. General socio-demographic data, clinical features, National Institute Health Scale Scores (NIHSS), Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography (ASPECT) scores, symptom-to-door, door-to-needle, and symptom-to-needle times, treatment-related complications and Modified Rankin Scores (mRS) at the third month after treatment were evaluated.
Results: Procedure-related major or minor bleeding complications developed in 18% of our patients who received tPA therapy. The mortality rate was 15% and 6.3% of these were caused by cerebral hemorrhage due to treatment complications and 8.7% were due to other systemic complications. Logistic regression analysis revealed that only the ASPECT score from factors that we found to be effective on the risk of developing complications was a highly effective factor in the development of complications (p=0.034, OR: 2.131).
Conclusions: This study has shown that our results are generally compatible with the literature. Although there is an increase in the number of patients receiving tPA in our clinic every year, we aim to increase awareness of this therapy clinically and to expand the use of IV thrombolytic therapy in selected patients.
Diários visuais e/ou textuais como laboratório de criação de si: movimentos transversais na docência universitária

Published: February 2021

Este artigo busca pensar a formação na docência universitária a partir da perspectiva das filosofias da diferença, uma formação que “acontece” em meio aos seus processos e encontros imprevistos, sem uma forma a priori a ser alcançada. Escritos de autores e autoras como Ribetto (2011), Pereira (2010a, 2010b), Loponte (2008, 2014), Hardt (2006) e Corazza (2013) se mostram como ferramentas potentes para pensar desdobramentos a partir dessa perspectiva, ou seja, uma formação que é pensada como um campo vivo e aberto, sempre a se fazer. São articulados também à escrita, três diários visuais e/ou textuais, os quais foram produzidos pelas autoras deste artigo em seus percursos como professoras no contexto da universidade. Assim, busca-se pensar: Como os diários visuais e/ou textuais podem funcionar como laboratório de criação de si na docência universitária? Dessa forma, intentou-se pensar o cenário formativo como um laboratório de experimentação, possibilitando colocar a docência em tensionamento com elementos/alimentos (ROLNIK, 2006) que não necessariamente dizem de docência, mas que funcionam como elementos potentes para produzi-la. A perspectiva cartográfica, enquanto estratégia de investigação processual (DELEUZE; GUATTARI, 1995), impeliu as autoras a investir em linhas transversais (GALLO, 2006; GUATTARI, 2004) junto aos diários visuais e/ou textuais (CARDONETTI; OLIVEIRA, 2015; OLIVEIRA, 2011, 2013, 2014) produzidos em suas experiências educativas. Junto desse movimento de pesquisa pensa-se/opera-se uma formação docente que se dá na singularidade de seu acontecer.
Gay Behaviors and Persistent Problems: Looked Globally Through the Lens of an Overview and a Single Case Report
Authors: Helmi Basmah Abdulaziz , Qureshi Naseem Akhtar 
Published: February 2021

Background: Prior to 1973, homosexuality was considered a mental disorder. Gay Rights Movement in European-Western world, controversial variegated theories and political all out efforts ultimately removed homosexuality from Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-I&II) with highly conflicting consequences to major religions of the world.
Objective: This study aimed to overview gay behavior and described a single case with assaults and mixed emotions of gay activities at younger age who visited psychiatric clinics for consultation and treatment of gay behavior.
Methods: Electronic searches of relevant literature were conducted for retrieving most influential articles published in PubMed, Google Scholar and ScienceDirect using keywords and Boolean Operators and following eligibility criteria retained 54 articles. We comprehensively evaluated this case in outpatient clinic and systematically administered 12 sessions of cognitive behavior therapy (CBT).
Results: Currently, the diagnostic terms in terms of sexual and transgender identity disorder are used to address the problems of gay people in DSM or high risk homosexual behavior having problems with lifestyle in International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10). One person with chronic passive gay behavior with distressful aversion at later stage presented to the psychiatric clinic, expressed strong desire and motivation to change it, and after 12 CBT sessions improved and began to enjoy heterosexual life.
Conclusion: Although homosexuality fully derecognized in two major diagnostic classification systems of mental disorders across the world, some persons with agonizing and painful gay symptoms and psychiatric disorders and addictions to various substances eventually seek help from mental health professionals who manage them by diverse interventions resulting in better outcome and good quality of life including marital stability. Therefore, gay people presenting with psychological conditions or distressful behaviors need mental health services for changing their gay to heterosexual style and simultaneously addressing mental and physical disorders globally.
Dosimetric comparison of coplanar and noncoplanar beam arrangements for radiotherapy of patients with lung cancer: A meta‐analysis

Published: February 2021

AbstractPurposeRadiotherapy plays an important role in the treatment of lung cancer, and both coplanar beam arrangements (CBA) and noncoplanar beam arrangements (NCBA) are adopted in clinic practice. The aim of this study is to answer the question whether NCBA are dosimetrically superior to CBA.MethodsSearch of publications were performed in PubMed, Web of Science, and the Cochran Library till March 2020. The searching terms were as following: ((noncoplanar) or ("non coplanar") or ("4pi") or ("4π")) AND (("lung cancer") or ("lung tumor") or ("lung carcinoma")) AND ((radiotherapy) or ("radiation therapy")). The included studies and extracted data were manually screened. All forest and funnel plots were carried out with RevMan software, and the Egger’s regression asymmetry tests were conducted with STATA software.ResultsNine studies were included and evaluated in the meta‐analysis and treatment plans were designed with both CBA and NCBA. For the planning target volumes (PTV), D98%, D2%, the conformity index (CI), and the gradient index (GI) had no statistically significant difference. For organs‐at‐risk (OAR), V20 of the whole lung and the maximum dose of the spinal cord were significantly reduced in NCBA plans compared with CBA ones. But V10, V5, and mean dose of the whole lung, the maximum dose of the heart, and the maximum dose of the esophagus exhibited no significant difference when the two types of beam arrangements were compared.ConclusionAfter combining multicenter results, NCBA plans have significant advantages in reducing V20 of the whole lung and max dose of spinal cord.
A practical method to quantify knowledge‐based DVH prediction accuracy and uncertainty with reference cohorts
Authors: Covele Brent M. , Carroll Cody J. , Moore Kevin L. 
Published: February 2021

AbstractThe adoption of knowledge‐based dose‐volume histogram (DVH) prediction models for assessing organ‐at‐risk (OAR) sparing in radiotherapy necessitates quantification of prediction accuracy and uncertainty. Moreover, DVH prediction error bands should be readily interpretable as confidence intervals in which to find a percentage of clinically acceptable DVHs. In the event such DVH error bands are not available, we present an independent error quantification methodology using a local reference cohort of high‐quality treatment plans, and apply it to two DVH prediction models, ORBIT‐RT and RapidPlan, trained on the same set of 90 volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) plans. Organ‐at‐risk DVH predictions from each model were then generated for a separate set of 45 prostate VMAT plans. Dose‐volume histogram predictions were then compared to their analogous clinical DVHs to define prediction errors (ith plan), from which prediction bias μ, prediction error variation σ, and root‐mean‐square error could be calculated for the cohort. The empirical was then contrasted to the model‐provided DVH error estimates. For all prostate OARs, above 50% Rx dose, ORBIT‐RT μ and σ were comparable to or less than those of RapidPlan. Above 80% Rx dose, μ < 1% and σ < 3‐4% for both models. As a result, above 50% Rx dose, ORBIT‐RT was below that of RapidPlan, indicating slightly improved accuracy in this cohort. Because μ ≈ 0, is readily interpretable as a canonical standard deviation σ, whose error band is expected to correctly predict 68% of normally distributed clinical DVHs. By contrast, RapidPlan's provided error band, although described in literature as a standard deviation range, was slightly less predictive than (55–70% success), while the provided ORBIT‐RT error band was confirmed to resemble an interquartile range (40–65% success) as described. Clinicians can apply this methodology using their own institutions’ reference cohorts to (a) independently assess a knowledge‐based model's predictive accuracy of local treatment plans, and (b) interpret from any error band whether further OAR dose sparing is likely attainable.

AbstractCalcium oxalate (CaOx) is the major phase in kidney stones and the primary calcium storage medium in plants. CaOx can form crystals with different lattice types, water contents, and crystal structures. However, the conditions and mechanisms leading to nucleation of particular CaOx crystals are unclear. Here, liquid‐cell transmission electron microscopy and atomistic molecular dynamics simulations are used to study in situ CaOx nucleation at different conditions. The observations reveal that rhombohedral CaOx monohydrate (COM) can nucleate via a classical pathway, while square COM can nucleate via a non‐classical multiphase pathway. Citrate, a kidney stone inhibitor, increases the solubility of calcium by forming calcium‐citrate complexes and blocks oxalate ions from approaching calcium. The presence of multiple hydrated ionic species draws additional water molecules into nucleating CaOx dihydrate crystals. These findings reveal that by controlling the nucleation pathways one can determine the macroscale crystal structure, hydration state, and morphology of CaOx.

AbstractPassive daytime radiative cooling (PDRC) can realize electricity‐free cooling by reflecting sunlight and emitting heat to the cold space. Current PDRC designs often involve costly vacuum processing or a large quantity of harmful organic solvents. Aqueous and paint‐like processing is cost‐effective and environmentally benign, thereby highly attractive for green manufacturing of PDRC coatings. However, common polymers explored in PDRC are difficult to disperse in water, let alone forming porous structures for efficient cooling. Here, a simple “bottom‐up” ball milling approach to create uniform microassembly of poly(vinylidene fluoride‐co‐hexafluoropropene) nanoparticles is reported. The micro‐ and nanopores among secondary particles and primary particles substantially enhance light scattering and results in excellent PDRC performance. A high solar reflectance of 0.94 and high emittance of 0.97 are achieved, making the coating 3.3 and 1.7 °C cooler than commercial white paints and the ambient temperature, under a high solar flux of ≈1100 W m−2. More importantly, the volatile organic compound content in the aqueous paint is only 71 g L−1. This satisfies the general regulatory requirements, which are critical to sustainability and practical applications.
