Authors: Yang Cai-Xia , Jiang Xiu-Yun , Li Xiao-Hong 
Published: November 2024

Abstract

Background
Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) is a rare disorder that was initially documented by Prader and Willi in 1956. Despite significant advancements in the understanding of PWS over recent decades, no bibliometric studies have been reported on this field. We aimed to analyze and explore the research trends and hotspots of PWS using a bibliometric analysis to understand the future development of basic and clinical research.

Methods
The literature regarding PWS was retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-Expanded) database. Data were extracted from the articles or review articles, and analyzed using CiteSpace and VOSviewer software.

Results
A total of 1,895 related studies have been published in 64 countries or regions. The United States has published the most articles, followed by the United Kingdom, Italy, Netherlands, and France. University of Florida (The United States), University of Kansas (The United States), University of Alberta (Canada), University of Cambridge (the United Kingdom), and Dutch Growth Research Foundation (Netherlands) were the top five most productive institutions. Butler, Merlin G. and his colleagues have made the most outstanding contributions in the field of PWS research. Keyword co-occurrence analysis showed that genomic imprinting, uniparental disomy, obesity, hyperphagia, hypothalamus, growth hormone treatment, and ghrelin appeared with the higher frequency. Furthermore, oxytocin, magel2, and management were the latest bursts keywords.

Conclusion
Our findings indicated that genetic mechanism, diagnose, and emerging therapies will be the hotspots and frontiers in PWS research.

Published: November 2024

Abstract
The advanced material properties and high quality of composite products are largely dependent on the production methods. In the current search, it was examined how the mechanical properties of flax, jute, and basalt fiber-reinforced composites were affected by three different production methods and hybridization processes. The materials were produced by hand lay-up, vacuum bagging, and vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding methods. While the physical and mechanical properties of specimens were determined by hardness, tensile, and water absorption tests, the fiber behavior of the composites was investigated by micrograph analysis. Tensile test data gave better results for homogeneous samples by 1.4–16.4 % for the samples produced with the use of vacuum-assisted resin transfer technique in comparison to the samples manufactured by the vacuum bagging technique, and by 7.3–22.5 % in comparison to the samples fabricated by the hand lay-up technique. Compared to the other two methods, 7.3–35.3 % better tensile strength results were obtained when using the VARTM technique in hybrid samples. Moreover, the hardness value measurement of the samples also supports the tensile strength data. However, the water absorption analysis results display that samples produced by hand lay-up absorb less water than samples produced by the other two production methods.

Published: November 2024

Abstract
Sandwich structures may be exposed to different impact loads depending on their areas of use. In this study, low-speed impact tests were implemented on balsa core sandwich composite materials and impact behaviors were examined. Balsa woods of 4, 6, 8, and 10 mm in thickness were used as core elements. Eight- and 12-layered glass fiber-reinforced composite materials with different orientation arrangements were used for the sandwich structures’ top and bottom surfaces. The fiber orientation angles of the glass fiber materials were determined as [0°]2s and [0°/90°]s. The balsa core sandwich composite materials were produced using the vacuum infusion method. The prepared samples were tested at impact energy of 15, 30, 45, and 60 J. At the end of these tests, the effects of impact energy, core thickness, increase in number of outer surface layers, and change in orientation angle on contact force, displacement, and absorbed energy values were analyzed. The outer surfaces of the damaged samples and the damage patterns that occurred in the balsa wood were examined after the tests.

Authors: Kikuchi Fernando Henrique Nascimento , Silva Junior Luiz Gilberto , Chiarelli Lígia Maria Ávila 
Published: November 2024

Nesse estudo o problema de pesquisa centra-se nas diversas formas de preconceitos e restrições que o universo LGBTQIA+ vivencia e que foram agravados pela pandemia do Coronavírus. Dessa forma, o objetivo dessa investigação é avaliar como a pandemia do COVID-19 afeta a percepção do convívio social da população LGBTQIA+. Com a aplicação do método grupo focal, foi possível verificar que o espaço urbano é um ambiente heteronormativo e violento, fazendo com que pessoas LGBTQIA+ tendem a serem mais reclusas. O que se observa com esse estudo é que o isolamento social causado pela pandemia do Coronavírus, só aumentou uma tendência natural da pessoa LGBTQIA+ ao enclausuramento. Por fim, conclui-se que o convívio social de pessoas LGBTQIA+ está mais difícil no momento que predominam as políticas e discursos de direita no Brasil. O que se observa durante a pandemia do Coronavírus no Brasil é uma regente necropolítica, que quando se volta para os LGBTQIA+ fica percebível a intensão de dizimar essa comunidade.

Published: November 2024

AbstractBackgroundIn the international literature, several questionnaires measuring everyday activities are known with the aim of examining patients' quality of life. In the Hungarian language, few validated questionnaires focus on daily activities, examining both basic and moderately difficult physical activity, as well as mental health.ObjectiveOur goal was to translate the Functional Status Questionnaire (FSQ) into Hungarian and examine its reliability and validity.The validation of the questionnaire into Hungarian followed the six-step principle formulated in 2000. In our cross-sectional study, 376 participants took part. For convergent validity, we used the 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36) and the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) questionnaires. The examination of internal consistency was performed through Cronbach's alpha calculations. Test-retest reliability within the class was assessed with the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). We conducted discriminant validity for pain and general health.ResultsInternal consistency values demonstrated reliability. Participants' demographic data showed that the majority live in cities and have secondary education. The individuals included in the study exhibited unusually high levels of sports activity compared to the Hungarian average. Convergent validity examinations revealed significant relationships between dimensions of health-related quality of life of the different measurement tools.ConclusionsThe validated Hungarian questionnaire is valid and reliable. Similar to the original questionnaire, it is quickly and easily completed, allowing healthcare professionals in clinical settings to assess the patient's functional status before initiating examinations.

Published: November 2024

This study aimed to determine the effect of dietary metabolizable energy (ME) and crude protein (CP) levels on nitrogen excretion and laying performance in laying hens. Four groups of 20-week-old Lohmann hens were fed different ME and CP level diets, expressed as higher (H) or lower (L) versus control: group HME/HCP (2,820 kcal ME/16.7% CP), group HME/LCP (2,820 kcal/14.8% CP), group LME/HCP (2,690 kcal/16.7% CP) and group LME/LCP (2,690 kcal/14.8% CP). The control group was fed a commercial diet (2,754 kcal/15.5% CP). Experimental feeding lasted 12 weeks. Egg production was significantly improved (P=0,015) in HME/HCP group. Feed conversion ratio was significantly lower (P=0.013) in HCP groups versus control). The amount of uric acid excreted by HCP groups was 40% higher versus LCP groups (P=0.000) and excreted uric nitrogen was 24.2% higher in HCP versus LCP groups (P=0.001). HCP groups excreted 0.43 g/cap./day more nitrogen versus LCP groups (P=0.001). HCP groups retained 0.21 g/egg mass/day more nitrogen versus LCP groups. ME-supplements did not significantly modify the amount of nitrogen excretion. In conclusion, the tested CP diet supplementations increase faecal nitrogen excretion and egg-retained nitrogen in layers. Effect on laying performances depends of CP level and CP/ME ratio in the diet.

Authors: MOGILDEA Olga 
Published: November 2024

Climate change at the global level causes various disturbances in viticultural ecosystems, causing varieties to adjust their annual vegetation cycle, often with negative consequences on the quantity and quality of the harvest, as well as the quality of the wines obtained. The analysis of the evolution of the phenophases of the vine vegetation, closely related to the environmental conditions, is an effective method of assessing the level of climate change. The purpose of this study was to analyze the peculiarities of growth, development and fruiting of the grapes of Feteasca neagra wine variety, in different wine-growing regions of the Republic of Moldova. Feteasca neagra wine variety was grown in three wine-growing regions, intended to obtain wines with Protected Geographical Indication (PGI): Valul lui Traian PGI (Alexandru Ioan Cuza, Bugeac and Leova), Ștefan Vodă PGI (Purcari) and PGI Codru (Speia and Nisporeni). In order to achieve the proposed goal and objectives, a series of observations, records and analyses were carried out according to the methods and standards accepted for viticulture by Moldova and OIV. Based on the experimental data, was noted that Feteasca neagra variety cultivated on the experimental land - Alexandru Ioan Cuza, had an average number of shoots per vine of 29.86, while the average number of grapes per shoot was 1.12. The number of grapes per fertile shoot was 1.4. As a result of the research, it was found that the value of the quality and productivity indices depends on the canopy management, the number of buds and shoots, as well as the pedoclimatic conditions of the region.

Abstract

Fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith), a threat to maize production systems, is a highly polyphagous pest of global significance. As per the National robotics policy for application of drones in agriculture in India, a comparative study of residue dynamics between drone and conventional application of the prepared premix [Chlorantraniliprole (Chl) and Emamectin benzoate (EB)] liquid formulation (CEOD), at 70 g (T1) and 140 g (T2) /ha at two stages of rabi maize plant was carried out. QuEChERS clean-up technique coupled with LC-MS/MS (liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectroscopy) analysis was used for simultaneous estimation of Chl and EB in maize leaves, grains, cob and soil. The method was validated in terms of accuracy, precision, sensitivity and linearity. The terminal residues of both the pesticides in grain were below the quantification limit (For Chl-0.0001 to 0.0002 mg kg-1 and for EB-0.0003 to 0.0004 mg kg-1) in case of drone application. Pre-Harvest interval of both the compounds was shorter in case of drone spray (13.93 -16.19 days for Chl and 29.76-32.18 days for EB) as compared to conventional application (23.19- 32.58 days for Chl and 68.35-73.25 days for EB). Hence, the safe waiting period for harvest will be much lower in case of drone spray. Safety assessment studies revealed that there is no consumer risks for drone applied formulation at recommended dose on maize crop in Indian scenario.

Abstract

Background:
Primary small vessel CNS vasculitis (sv-cPACNS) is a challenging inflammatory brain disease in children. Brain biopsy is mandatory to confirm the diagnosis. This study aims to develop and validate a histological scoring tool for diagnosing small vessel CNS vasculitis.
Methods:
A standardized brain biopsy scoring instrument was developed and applied to consecutive full-thickness brain biopsies of pediatric cases and controls at a single center. Stains included immunohistochemistry and Hematoxylin & Eosin. Nine North American neuropathologists, blinded to patients’ presentation, diagnosis, and therapy, scored de-identified biopsies independently.
Results:
A total of 31 brain biopsy specimens from children with sv-cPACNS, 11 with epilepsy, and 11 with non-vasculitic inflammatory brain disease controls were included. Angiocentric inflammation in the cortex or white matter increases the likelihood of sv-cPACNS, with odds ratios (ORs) of 3.231 (95CI: 0.914-11.420, p = 0.067) and 3.923 (95CI: 1.13-13.6, p = 0.031). Moderate to severe inflammation in these regions is associated with a higher probability of sv-cPACNS, with ORs of 5.56 (95CI: 1.02-29.47, p = 0.046) in the cortex and 6.76 (95CI: 1.26-36.11, p = 0.025) in white matter. CD3, CD4, CD8, and CD20 cells predominated the inflammatory infiltrate. Reactive endothelium was strongly associated with sv-cPACNS, with an OR of 8.93 (p = 0.001). Features reported in adult sv-PACNS, including granulomas, necrosis, or fibrin deposits, were absent in all biopsies. The presence of leptomeningeal inflammation in isolation was non-diagnostic.
Conclusion:
Distinct histological features were identified in sv-cPACNS biopsies, including moderate to severe angiocentric inflammatory infiltrates in the cortex or white matter, consisting of CD3, CD4, CD8, and CD20 cells, alongside reactive endothelium with specificity of 95%. In the first study of its kind proposing histological criteria for evaluating brain biopsies, we aim to precisely characterize the type and severity of the inflammatory response in patients with sv-cPACNS; this can enable consolidation of this population to assess outcomes and treatment methodologies comprehensively.
