Objective: to conduct a comparative assessment of adherence to the treatment of pregnant and non-pregnant reproductive age.Material and methods: 115 women (60 pregnant and 55 non-pregnant) of reproductive age from 18 to 49 years old were examined. All patients completed an online electronic questionnaire of quantitative adherence to treatment with further automatic calculation of results and issuance of a conclusion. The prognosis of adherence to lifestyle modification (LSM), adherence to medical support (MS), adherence to drug therapy (DT), total adherence to treatment (TAT) was assessed depending on age, education, labor status, bad habits, the number of births, the presence of hypertension (AH), obesity, extragenital pathology. Adherence was assessed as low in terms of < 50%, mean 50–75%, and high > 75%.Results: adherence to LSM in pregnant women corresponded to a mean level, and non-pregnant to a low level. Low adherence to LSM was found in 33.3% of pregnant and 58.2% of non-pregnant women. TAT values in both groups were in the range of mean adherence, but were higher in pregnant women. In the structure of TAT in pregnant women, unlike non-pregnant women, there was a lower level (21.7% versus 38.2%) and more often a high level (28.3% versus 10.9%). The adherence values of MS and DT and the level distribution did not differ between the groups. In the pregnant group, patients with secondary education and who did not drink alcohol demonstrated a high level of adherence to MS. In the non-pregnant group, only DT adheres to women with secondary education and no smoking were committed compared to smokers and patients with higher education.Conclusion: the current method of determining adherence to treatment is the electronic questionnaire. Adherence to LSM and TAT was significantly higher in pregnant women and corresponded to the mean level, adherence rates to MS and DT did not differ between groups and were also at the mean level. In all examined women, there was no relationship between adherence to LSM, TAT, MS, DT and the studied de facto frames: age, number of births, labor status, presence of AH, obesity. More committed to treatment were pregnant and non-pregnant women with secondary education and no “bad” habits.
Evaluation of Comparative Efficacy of Polyherbal Steam Inhalation Versus Polyherbal Nasal Fumigation (Dhoopana) in Children With Rhinitis (Pratishyaya): Protocol for an Open-Label Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Kakar Monika , Rathi Renu , Balakrishnan Deepthi , Rathi Bharat 
Published: December 2024

Background
Rhinitis is a condition characterized by inflammation of the nasal mucosa. It causes obstruction and congestion in the nasal cavity. Clinically, it resembles pratishyaya (rhinitis) in Ayurveda, which is caused by accumulation and downward movement of the tridoshas (3 elements, named vata, pitta, and kapha) in the nasal cavity. Rhinitis is one of the most common diseases among children. There is no role for antibiotics in rhinitis, and nasal decongestants have also not been found to be effective in its management. In Ayurveda, dhoopana (nasal fumigation) is mentioned in the pratishyaya treatment protocol. However, we have found no previous study regarding its efficacy. The efficacy of tulsi, vasa, nirgundi, and nilgiri is already proven when they are used for steam inhalation in respiratory tract infections. Therefore, in this study, a dhoopana of a polyherbal formulation containing tulsi, vasa, nirgundi, and nilgiri will be compared with the inhalation of steam containing arka (a liquid obtained by distillation) of tulsi, vasa, nirgundi, and nilgiri leaves in children with pratishyaya.

Objective
We aim to evaluate the efficacy of polyherbal steam inhalation as a standard control against dhoopana in children aged 7 to 14 years with pratishyaya.

Methods
A total of 70 participants fulfilling the inclusion criteria were selected and distributed into 2 groups of 35 each. The intervention group received dhoopana and the control group received polyherbal steam inhalation, both twice daily for 7 days. The primary outcome measure was the change in Total Nasal Symptom Score and a modified cold spatula test. At the same time, the association between prakriti (body constitution) and the prevalence of pratishyaya in children was analyzed as a secondary outcome. Assessments were performed on days 3, 5, and 7, with a follow-up time of 28 days. Appropriate descriptive and inferential statistics will be used for data analysis.

Results
As of November 2024, we have completed our enrollment of 70 patients, with 35 patients in each group. Data analysis will be completed by February 2025, and we expect results to be published in March 2025.

Conclusions
We anticipate that polyherbal nasal fumigation will be found to be equally as effective as polyherbal steam inhalation in the management of acute rhinitis in the pediatric population. This study may provide a standardized, herbal, safe, and cost-effective treatment for rhinitis in children in the form of dhoopana.

Wearable Electrocardiogram Technology: Help or Hindrance to the Modern Doctor?
Authors: Smith Samuel , Maisrikrod Shalisa 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Electrocardiography is an essential tool in the arsenal of medical professionals, Traditionally, patients have been required to meet health care practitioners in person to have an electrocardiogram (ECG) recorded and interpreted. This may result in paroxysmal arrhythmias being missed, as well as decreased patient convenience, and thus reduced uptake. The advent of wearable ECG devices built into consumer smartwatches has allowed unparalleled access to ECG monitoring for patients. Not only are these modern devices more portable than traditional Holter monitors, but with the addition of artificial intelligence (AI)-led rhythm interpretation, diagnostic accuracy is improved greatly when compared with conventional ECG-machine interpretation. The improved wearability may also translate into increased rates of detected arrhythmias. Despite the many positives, wearable ECG technology brings with it its own challenges. Diagnostic accuracy, managing patient expectations and limitations, and incorporating home ECG monitoring into clinical guidelines have all arisen as challenges for the modern clinician. Decentralized monitoring and patient alerts to supposed arrhythmias have the potential to increase patient anxiety and health care visitations (and therefore costs). To better obtain meaningful data from these devices, provide optimal patient care, and provide meaningful explanations to patients, providers need to understand the basic sciences underpinning these devices, how these relate to the surface ECG, and the implications in diagnostic accuracy. This review article examines the underlying physiological principles of electrocardiography, as well as examines how wearable ECGs have changed the clinical landscape today, where their limitations lie, and what clinicians can expect in the future with their increasing use.

Published: December 2024

Batang Hari is situated as one of the central rice-producing regencies within Jambi Province. However, the agricultural sector in Batang Hari is severely impacted by climate change in the context of productivity. This study aimed to examine rainfall and temperature trends over the last 20 years (2002 to 2021), assess farmers' perceptions, and identify the current adaptation measures due to the impact of climate change on rainfed paddy fields. This study is of great importance because it employs a holistic approach, integrating quantitative data on climate trends with qualitative insights from farmers. The results showed that rainfall decreased by 20–50 mm/month, and the average temperature increased by 0.4°C in 20 years. The qualitative data on farmers' perceived impact of changes in climate variability reported an agreement with climatological data. The farmers perceived a decrease in rainfall and a concurrent rise in temperatures. Furthermore, a delayed onset of the rainy season was noted, leading to an adjustment of their planting schedules. Certain adaptation measures to adjust to the perceived impact of changes in climate variability on their rainfed paddy fields were also implemented. These measures included crop management as well as socio-economic adaptation. Farmers' adaptation measures included modifying crop varieties, adjusting planting seasons, adopting agricultural machinery, and diversifying income through off-farm activities. It is also important to emphasize technological based adaptation to enhance climate resilience, as well as sustainable land management practices, agroforestry initiatives, and soil conservation efforts for long-term agricultural sustainability.
Modulações entre documentário e ficção no filme Iracema - uma transa amazônica
Authors: Soranz Gustavo 
Published: December 2024

Apresentamos uma análise do filme Iracema - uma transa amazônica, codirigido por Jorge Bodanzky e Orlando Senna, em 1974. Inicialmente trazemos informações sobre o contexto histórico e político em relação à Amazônia no período de sua realização, a fim de destacar aspectos que são significativos para compreender a relevância do filme no contexto do cinema moderno brasileiro. Na sequência apresentaremos informações essenciais sobre a origem do filme, com destaque para elementos que são determinantes na compreensão dos modos de filmagem que seriam adotados em sua produção. Na intenção de promover uma análise original sobre sua fatura fílmica, apresentamos o conceito de modulação entre o documentário e a ficção, situação em que o sujeito que opera a câmera exerce também a posição de diretor do filme, de modo que, desse lugar privilegiado, consegue agenciar as situações e estabelecer operações técnicas que conduzem a filmagem convocando ora convenções do domínio do cinema ficcional, ora convenções do domínio do cinema documental, resultando em um filme cuja dimensão estética é original justamente por ser resultante de determinados atravessamentos entre essas tradições. Para tornar essa leitura objetiva, analisaremos passagens do filme Iracema, a fim de ilustrar determinados argumentos que pretendem esclarecer o que entendemos como gestos de modulação entre a ficção e o documentário que consideramos serem especialmente presentes no filme em questão.

Published: December 2024

Background and purpose: Despite evolving management strategies for atypical cartilaginous tumors (ACT)—shifting from radical resection to intralesional curettage and “wait-and-scan” approaches—there remains no universal consensus on optimal treatment. We primarily aimed to evaluate disease-specific and progression-free survival following intralesional curettage and adjuvant phenol treatment of ACTs. Secondary aims included assessing surgical complications, the need for additional interventions, and an overview of long-term follow-up.Methods: This retrospective cohort study of 388 ACT patients was conducted at a tertiary referral center from 2000 to 2019. Comprehensive data collection included demographics, tumor characteristics, and follow-up outcomes.Results: Residual disease was observed in 14% (n = 53) of cases, with continued growth on sequential imaging in one-fourth (n = 13 of 53). Postoperative fractures occurred in 10% (n = 37) after a mean of 7 months, and 16% (n = 61) required a second surgery due to pain or joint movement limitations. There was no malignant progression or mortality observed.Conclusion: We found that curettage for ACT is not associated with mortality or malignant progression but does carry risks of complications and residual disease. This raises important questions regarding the necessity of surgical intervention. Further research is needed to refine the treatment approach for ACT.

Plant parasitic nematodes infestation was once a constraint for guava crystal cultivation at PT GGP Lampung. The nematode infestation not only reduced crops production but also shortened the period of guava crystal production. Routine monitoring to assess crop damage and the population of plant parasitic nematodes should avoid disrupting the root zone of guava crystal crops. The purposed of this research was to study correlation between above-ground crop performance and plant parasitic nematodes infestation status. Observation were conducted on guava crystal crops ± 4.5 years old that experienced severe infestation by plant parasitic nematodes located in block 108 D PG 2 and were scheduled for removal. The observed variables included above-ground crop performance, root damage, and plant parasitic nematode population. Crop performance was evaluated based on productive plant shoots, main trunk circumference, primary branch circumference, leaf color, and leaf indices. Root observations were performed by removing plants using heavy excavation equipment. Spearman’s correlation analyzes at α = 0.5 was applied to demonstrate correlations among variables. The results indicated that the crop performance, productive plant shoot, and primary branch circumference showed a negative correlation with root damage. Therefore, crops performance variables can be developed to indicate the plant parasitic nematodes infestation status in guava crystal cultivation. The study still needs to be extended to include observations of other relevant variable.

UV Light and Parafilm: Methods for inoculation and quantification with agave mites (Oziella sp.)
Authors: Middleton Eric G. , Spinelli Gerardo 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Agave mites can be damaging to ornamental agave, yet little research has been conducted on them. Our goal was to validate basic methods for quantifying and inoculating plants with agave mites. We compared white light to using UV light or washing mites off plants to quantify mite and egg abundance. We also tested using UV light to estimate agave mite abundance without magnification. Finally, we quantified the number of mites on symptomatic agave and compared methods for inoculating uninfected plants. Significantly more agave mites and eggs were found and counting took significantly less time using UV light compared to using white light or washing plants. For aloe mites, white light was more effective than UV light. Lesions caused by agave mite feeding damage correlated to the number of agave mites and eggs present. Symptomatic agave had high variation among plants in abundance of mites and eggs. Wrapping inoculated agave in parafilm significantly increased the number of mites and eggs found on plants compared to unwrapped plants and increased inoculation success rate. Overall, using UV light is an effective way to quantify agave mites and eggs, and parafilm-inoculated plants provide a more consistent abundance of agave mites and eggs.

Costs Associated With Mitigating Boxwood Blight During Nursery Production in the U.S.
Authors: Hall Charles R. 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Three scenarios commonly used for nursery production of boxwood (Buxus L. spp., Buxaceae) in #3 containers [11 L (3 gal)] in the U.S. were modeled based on published best management practices and grower interviews. Detailed inventories of material inputs, equipment use, and labor were developed from the production protocols for each of those scenarios and a partial budgeting analysis was conducted to determine the impact of individual components on the economic costs of the finished shrubs at the nursery gate. The total variable costs of each plant from Scenario A (from propagation tray to #1 container to #3 container) were $8.98. Scenario B (propagation tray to the field and back to #3 container) resulted in variable costs of $9.19 and takes a year longer in production than the other two models. Scenario C (propagation tray to #1 container bumped up into a #2 container and finally to a #3 container) incurred variable costs of $11.26 per plant. Labor comprised the greatest share of variable costs in each of the three scenarios, while containers, transplants (including transplanting labor), irrigation, and fertilization inputs and associated activities accounted for the greatest portion of materials costs in each scenario. Pruning, assembling orders and loading trucks, applying plant protection products, and chlorination were other important components of variable costs of each scenario.

Published: December 2024

Abstract
Vegetable, fruiting, and ornamental crops that utilize plugs for horticultural production have demonstrated better plant health, transplant establishment rate, and total yield. The APS Laboratory for Sustainable Agriculture investigated the quality of plugs prepared based on different commonly used growth mediums in comparison to soil plugs. We evaluated the growth of ‘Rex Butterhead’ lettuce (Latuca sativa L.) plugs with six different treatments: 1) rockwool, 2) Oasis® Horticube, 3) perlite 4) coco coir, 5) phenolic foam, and 6) peat pellets. The plants were then cultivated for 15 days in a controlled environment until two leaves after the cotyledon had developed. After 15 days, we collected data which included wet weight, dry weight, leaf area, nitrogen content, and chlorophyll concentration. In addition, we derived data including the Leaf Area Index (LAI) and Specific Leaf Area (SLA). A permutation MANOVA revealed a significant treatment effect on plug preparation (p &lt; 0.01). Of all the treatments, we concluded that plugs grown in peat pellets produced the most viable plugs with the largest wet weight, dry weight, and total leaf area. Results from this study may inform growers about appropriate growth mediums for efficient plug production.

Abstract
In recent years, it has been realized that agriculture has become one of the economic sectors with a huge impact on the environment. Therefore, measures have been taken to reduce the negative impact of agricultural production on the environment. The use of biostimulants in agriculture, especially of plant origin, is part of this trend. However, obtaining suitable formulation of biostimulants requires the development of appropriate technologies for their production. Therefore, it was undertaken to investigate the possibility of using gliding arc cold plasma (GA) and low-pressure microwave (MW) discharges to produce water plant extracts with biostimulating potential. An increase in total polyphenol content and antioxidant activity was observed, indicating the high potential of using low-pressure microwave discharge to produce effective plant biostimulants. Also, low-pressure microwave discharge improved the extraction of elements such as Ca, K and Fe.
