Abstract

OBJECTIVE
This study aimed to report the impact of production practices and sanitary management on the prevalence of Neospora caninum (N caninum) and bluetongue virus (BTV) in Creole goats from the tropical dry forest of Utcubamba, Peru.

METHODS
354 blood samples were obtained from male and female goats of diverse ages reared under an extensive productive system. The diagnosis of N caninum and BTV was conducted through a commercial ELISA kit (iD.vet) with readings taken on a Bio-Rad iMark microplate reader at 450 nm. Additionally, a survey was conducted with 18 goat producers to categorize them based on social, technical (production, health, reproduction, nutrition, and infrastructure), environmental, and economic factors.

RESULTS
The overall seroprevalence of N caninum and BTV in goats was 6.21% and 7.06%, respectively, Notably, group II farmers had the highest prevalence rates at 7.69% for N caninum and 23.08% for BTV. This group comprises producers with fewer than 21 goats, while group III includes 14.3% of producers with over 60 goats and better infrastructure.

CONCLUSIONS
This study confirms the presence of N caninum and BTV in goats of Utcubamba, Peru. Group II displayed the highest prevalence rates, suggesting that herd size and management infrastructure influence disease prevalence.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
In the tropical dry forest of Utcubamba, inadequate management of N caninum carrier agents (eg, nondewormed dogs) heightens transmission risk, while the tropical climate supports BTV vectors. Effective diagnosis and health management strategies, including vector control and biosecurity practices, are crucial for ongoing herd health monitoring.

OBJECTIVE: To summarize the content and critically appraise the quality and applicability of recent clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) for nonpharmacological, nonsurgical management of spine pain. DESIGN: Systematic review of CPGs. LITERATURE SEARCH: Six databases and seven guideline clearinghouses. STUDY SELECTION CRITERIA: Included de novo CPGs for nonpharmacological, nonsurgical management of spine pain designed for any primary health care providers, published in English, Arabic, French, or traditional Chinese within the past 12 years. DATA SYNTHESIS: Five reviewers independently appraised the guidelines using AGREE II and AGREE-REX. Interrater agreements were calculated for each domain and the total score of these tools using the intraclass correlation coefficient (2, 1) with absolute agreement. RESULTS: We included 30 CPGs, primarily (90%) developed in Western countries, which contained 404 recommendations. High-quality CPGs consistently recommended exercise therapy and multimodal care, encompassing a combination of exercises, mobilization/manipulation, education, alternative medicine, and cognitive-behavioral treatments. Generally, CPGs did not recommend assistive (eg, corsets and orthosis) devices or electro/thermotherapies (eg, therapeutic ultrasound and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation). Approximately half of the CPGs demonstrated good methodological quality according to AGREE II, whereas the rest were of poor quality. On the AGREE-REX assessment, one third of the recommendations were of excellent quality. CONCLUSION: Although recent guidelines frequently recommended exercise therapy and multimodal care for the management of spine pain, their recommendations often overlooked demographics and comorbidities. Despite methodological improvements, most CPGs lacked simple clinical applicability and considerations of knowledge users’ values. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2025;55(1):12-25.

This is a frightening situation that places stress on avoiding the misuse of antibiotics and following anti-microbial stewardship.
SEASONAL MOSQUITO PRODUCTION IN STORM SEWER CATCH BASINS OF THE NORTH SHORE SUBURBS OF CHICAGO, 2021 TO 2024
Authors: HARBISON JUSTIN E. 
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT
From 2021 to 2024, the number of pupae found in storm sewer catch basins in the North Shore suburbs of Chicago were assessed as part of routine quality control and improvement efforts. Over the course of these 4 yr, pupae were collected at least once during all calendar months, allowing for some insight into monthly mosquito production in catch basins. Thus, the intent of this study was to use those data to describe the number of pupae found in these structures across calendar months. In total, 1,993 unique catch basins were sampled. Pupae were found during the months of April through December, with the highest levels seen during June through November. Results suggest that basins may remain productive a month or more after local abatement districts end their routine Culex adult surveillance with gravid traps in late September and early October each year. These observations can help with the timing and intensity of larvicide treatments in Chicago area catch basins and may serve as a baseline for comparison to future seasonal changes.

Cannabis sativa L. es una especie rica en diversos metabolitos especiales o secundarios, entre los que se destacan los cannabinoides, terpenos y compuestos fenólicos, reconocidos por contribuir de forma sinérgica en el aroma, sabor y propiedades terapéuticas de la planta. Los cannabinoides son los metabolitos más conocidos de Cannabis, con más de 100 identificados hasta la fecha. Estos compuestos interactúan con el sistema endocannabinoide del cuerpo humano para producir diversos efectos fisiológicos, siendo junto a fenoles y terpenos los principales ingredientes farmacológicamente activos (IFA) de los Productos vegetales elaborados a base de Cannabis para su uso y aplicación en medicina humana. La cantidad, calidad, estado de oxidación y propiedades de los IFA puede variar ampliamente según la cepa utilizada, la forma de cultivo, el proceso de cosecha, el curado de la droga vegetal y la técnica de extracción utilizada, entre otros. En este contexto, obtener productos estandarizados a base de Cannabis es importante para lograr fármacos de calidad, que ofrezcan seguridad y eficacia. El objetivo de esta investigación fue caracterizar morfo-anatómicamente a las inflorescencias (sin hojas) de dos cepas de Cannabis para uso medicinal cultivadas en la provincia de Tucumán, optimizar técnicas de extracción para la obtención de extractos estandarizados en compuestos fenólicos y cannabinoides y evaluar su capacidad antioxidante. Para ello se seleccionaron inflorescencias de dos cepas, INBIO-1 y 2, cultivadas bajo condiciones controladas en la provincia de Tucumán. Las mismas se caracterizaron macro y microscópicamente. Parte del material se secó en estufa y se fragmentó, para luego proceder a la optimización de la extracción de los IFA. Se ensayaron extracciones utilizando etanol 96° a dos temperaturas (5 y 40 °C) y tres relaciones diferentes de material vegetal (MV) respecto al solvente (S) (1/10, 1/20 y 1/40). Se demostró que la relación MV/S, la temperatura y la cepa utilizada determinan el perfil cualitativo y cuantitativo de metabolitos extraídos y su actividad antioxidante. Los extractos obtenidos a partir de cepas locales de Cannabis resultaron estandarizados con una metodología convencional, seleccionando las condiciones para la extracción más eficiente de compuestos bioactivos.

Published: November 2024

Background: Acute Respiratory Infection Disease is one of the highest causes of morbidity and mortality in children under five in Indonesia, especially in East Nusa Tenggara. The implementation of the ISPA disease control program focuses on finding and treating sufferers as early as possible by involving the active role of cadres, integrated health service support and referrals to related health facilities, however, these control efforts have not shown significant results.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the factors that influence the incidence of Acute Respiratory Infection Disease in children aged 12-59 months in the Wallandimu Community Health Center working area.
Method: This research uses an analytical research design with a cross sectional approach. The population in this study were toddlers aged 12-59 months in the Wallandimu health center working area and the sample in this study was 30 toddlers. The sampling technique in this research was simple random sampling. The Chi-Square statistical test was used to determine the relationship between variables.
Results: The results of the research from 18 respondents showed complete immunization status (76.7%), poor nutritional status (60.0%), and insufficient knowledge (56,7%) regarding the incidence of ISPA in the Wallandimu Health Center working area. The results of bivariate analysis showed no influence between immunization status and the incidence of ISPA (p= 0.896 > 0.05), there was an influence between nutritional status and the incidence of ISPA (p= 0.007 < 0.05), there was an influence between maternal knowledge and the incidence of ISPA (p = 0.010 < 0.05).
Conclusion: It is hoped that the Wallandimu Community Health Center will further improve its health programs, especially the Acute Respiratory Infection Disease control program for toddlers and provide education regarding maternal knowledge and the dangers of malnutrition for toddlers, so that the incidence of Acute Respiratory Infection Disease in children aged 12-59 months will decrease.
