Presas subálveas enterradas en el lecho de ramblas del Sureste de España
Authors: Gómez-Espín José María 
Published: June 2021

En medios áridos y semiáridos como el Sureste de la Península Ibérica, para captar las aguas de subálveos de ramblas, se utilizan sistemas combinados de galería y presa enterrada. Son complejos hidráulicos que obtienen recursos de caudal variable, pero de gran calidad. Solo se pueden obtener aquellos caudales que tras las precipitaciones quedan acumulados en los depósitos de arenas y gravas de los lechos fluviales, recursos que se renuevan tras cada episodio de precipitaciones. En el borde septentrional de la Depresión Prelitoral se mantienen en activo el complejo hidráulico de la rambla de Béjar y los de Los Cotes-Cegarras y Caño-Contracaño en la rambla de Nogalte. Son sistemas locales que aprovechan los freáticos próximos a la superficie para generar recursos propios de agua en medios secos, mereciendo ser conservados como modelos de interés ante escenarios de cambio climático.

Published: June 2021

Objectives: This study aimed to examine acceptance levels of and attitudes towards telemedicine among users in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and assess associations between perceived usefulness (PU), perceived ease of use (PEOU), attitudes towards use (ATU) and behavioural intention of use (BIU) in relation to telemedicine technology. Methods: This cross-sectional study used a simple random sampling design to obtain an appropriate sample from throughout the UAE. The technology acceptance model (TAM) and Rogers’ diffusion of innovations (DOI) theory were applied as the conceptual basis for this study. An Arabic/English version of the questionnaire was distributed via email to physicians and nurses, members of the public (including patients), healthcare directors and information technology professionals. Data were collected from 1st March to 30th August 2019 and analysed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Results: A total of 330 participants were included (response rate: 85.7%). BIU and PU were considered important elements of TAM in the adoption of telemedicine services compared to the other variables. The association between PEOU (beta = 0.033, P = 0.692), PU (beta = 0.034; P = 0.679) and ATU (beta = 0.055; P = 0.421) in relation to telemedicine were positive but not significant. However, BIU was found to be a strong significant predictor of actual usage (beta = 0.224; P = 0.003). Conclusion: This study confirms TAM’s applicability in the adoption of telemedicine services in the UAE. The results show that users’ perceptions were significantly related to their behavioural intention to use telemedicine. Factors influencing telemedicine technology are likely to vary as technology acceptance in other geographical areas may differ from the sample presented here.

Objectives: This study aimed to explore Saudi Arabian medical students’ perceptions of patient safety. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted in the College of Medicine, King Saud Bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in September 2019. The Attitudes to Patient Safety Questionnaire (APSQ III) was used to explore undergraduate medical students’ attitudes towards and knowledge of PS. The main outcomes measured were the APSQ III’s nine domains. Data were analysed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences and students’ attitudes were communicated as mean scores ± standard deviations. Results: A total of 301 participants were included in this study (response rate: 85.75%). Six domains reflected a positive attitude while three domains showed a neutral attitude. The domain of ‘team functioning’ had the highest mean score (5.8) followed by ‘working hours as a cause of error’ (5.6) and ‘error inevitability’ (5.4). There was a significant difference between gender in the domain ‘patient involvement in reducing error’ (P = 0.012) and ‘importance of patient safety (PS) in the curriculum’ (P = 0.001). In addition, the ‘importance of PS in the curriculum’ domain was significantly different across different age groups (P = 0.039). Conclusion: Medical students were highly interested in PS and recommended implementing a comprehensive undergraduate PS programme to fulfil their educational needs.

Objectives: The aim of the current study was to compare urinary cotinine levels, nicotine dependence and physical effects related to smoking in smokers before and after laser auricular acupuncture, psychological counselling and a combination of laser treatment with counselling. Methods: This study was carried out from February to July 2019 in India. A total of 60 smokers were randomly allocated to three interventional groups. Urinary cotinine levels, nicotine dependence and physical effects due to smoking were evaluated using NicAlert strips (Nymox Pharmaceutical Corp., Quebec, Canada) the Fagerström questionnaire and a visual analogue scale, respectively, at baseline and one month post-intervention. Pearson’s chi-square, Kruskal Wallis analysis of variance and Wilcoxon sign rank tests were used for statistical analyses. Results: There was a significant reduction in urinary cotinine levels and nicotine dependence and significant improvement in behaviour and physical effects related to smoking in all groups post-intervention (P <0.05). Reduction in nicotine dependence was significantly higher in the laser group (4.4 ± 1.66) compared to other groups (P <0.01). Reduction in urinary cotinine levels was highest in the laser with counselling group (0.85 ± 0.3) compared to the other groups. There was a significant reduction in irritability, headache, craving for smoking, tiredness and anxiety as well as a substantial increase in calmness, unpleasant taste of smoking, the ability to concentrate and appetite in the laser auricular acupuncture group compared to the other groups (P <0.01) Conclusion: Laser auricular acupuncture alone and in combination with psychological counselling can reduce nicotine dependence among smokers.

Left Ventricle Intramuscular Haemangioma
Authors: Al Umairi Rashid S , Sabek Said 
Published: June 2021

Cardiac haemangiomas are rare cardiac tumours that are usually asymptomatic and detected incidentally while imaging the heart with echocardiogram. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is a non-ionising imaging modality that allows the diagnosis of cardiac haemangiomas prior to surgery. We report a 36-year old male patient who was referred to the Adult Cardiology Clinic at the Royal Hospital, Muscat, Oman, in 2006 with a history of a left ventricle mass detected on echocardiogram. Further assessment of the mass by CMR revealed that the mass within the left ventricle apical septum contained features that were consistent with a cardiac haemangioma. Due to the surgical risk of ventricular septal defect and the stability of the mass, the patient was managed conservatively and upon followup the patient’s condition remained stable.

Abstract
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), a pneumonia-like disease with a pattern of acute respiratory symptoms, remains a major public health concern that is causing tremendous human suffering. There is no approved drug for the direct treatment of the disease, although several vaccines have been approved for use. Exploring medicinal plants and their phytochemicals has emerged as possible therapeutic alternatives since they are affordable and present minimal toxicity effects. This study sought to investigate the potential of the phytochemical compounds isolated from ethanolic leaf extract of Spondias mombin as potential therapeutic agents against SARS-CoV-2. From a select list of bioactive compounds extracted from the leaf of Spondias mombin with known antiviral properties, we identified Geraniin and 2-O-Caffeoyl-(+)-allohydroxycitric acid as potential SARS-CoV-2 inhibitors targeting SARS-CoV-2 RNA-dependent polymerase, the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of SARS-CoV-2 viral S-protein and the 3C-like main protease (3CLpro). Analysis of the binding mechanism of these compounds is characterized by the formation of high-affinity intermolecular interactions with respective binding site residues of SARS-CoV-2 RNA-dependent polymerase, 3CLpro, and RBD of viral S-protein, which subsequently contributed to favourable binding affinity. Using the Molecular Mechanics/Poisson-Boltzmann Surface Area (MMPB-SA) approach, Geraniin exhibited a binding free energy (ΔGbind) of -25.87kcal/mol and − 21.74kcal/mol, respectively, whereas 2-O-Caffeoyl-(+)-allohydroxycitric acid exhibited a ΔGbind of -32kcal/mol towards 3CLpro. Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations revealed crucial structural changes induced by the identified inhibitors, which possibly interfered with enzyme functions. The molecular insights provided regarding the inhibitory potency of the two phytochemicals warrants further experimental evaluation towards discovering novel SARS-CoV-2 therapeutics.
Development of a two-circular RNA panel as potential prognostic biomarker for gastric cancer
Authors: Liu Jing , Yan Meinan , Li Hui 
Published: June 2021

Abstract
Background

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have attracted increasing attention in recent years for their potential application as disease biomarkers due to their high abundance and stability. In this study, we attempted to screen circRNAs that can be used to predict postoperative recurrence and survival in patients with gastric cancer (GC).
Methods

High-throughput RNA sequencing was used to identify differentially expressed circRNAs in GC patients with different prognoses. The expression level of circRNAs in the training set (n = 136) and validation set (n = 167) was detected by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). Kaplan–Meier estimator, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and cox regression analysis were used to evaluate the prognostic value of circRNAs on recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) in GC patients. CeRNA network prediction, gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses were performed for the circRNAs with prognostic significance.
Results

A total of 259 differentially expressed circRNAs were identified in GC patients with different RFS. We found two circRNAs (hsa_circ_0005092 and hsa_circ_0002647) that highly expressed in GC patients with good prognoses, and subsequently established a predictive model for postoperative recurrence and prognosis evaluation, named circPanel. Patients with circPanellow might have shorter recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS). We also performed circRNA-miRNA-mRNA network prediction and functional analysis for hsa_circ_0005092 and hsa_circ_0002647.
Conclusions

CircPanel has the potential to be a prognostic biomarker in GC patients with greater accuracy than a single circRNA and certain traditional tumor markers (e.g., CEA, CA19-9 and CA724).

Abstract
This research focused on robotic ultraviolet light (RUV light) for sanitizing the environment due to the outbreak of the Coronavirus pandemic devastating the whole world. The prototype Robotics UV-light device was proposed in this research to relieve mankind of sanitization of the ecosystem since SARS-CoV-II is highly infectious. The robotic Ultra-violet system was developed using perception subsystems as well as cognition subsystems, all linked together to perform the needed functions. Nine perceptions recognition subsystems were deployed with a remote controller for the driving as well as monitoring of the system for optimum performance while in operation. The Robotics was built with four lamps of ultra-violet lights such that while in operation, the targeted environment gets sanitized at the same time. An extra lamp was attached at the top end of the robotic device which is used to fumigate the upper part of the wards where the other lights could not reach. One of the inbuilt perception subsystems collects information on the extent of sanitization and then via the cognition subsystem shuts down the system automatically. If by chance a novice approaches the ward(s) where the robotic system is working, another perception subsystem will perceive human presences and through the cognitive device raises a mimic human tone programmed, “this place is not safe now, quickly shift". If within ten nano-seconds and the novice still resist the warning, then the machine shutdown automatically. The performance of this electromagnetic light has an efficiency of 99.99 percent over both bacteria and viruses including Covid-19.
