Authors: Scallan Walter Elaine J. , Crim Stacy M. , Bruce Beau B. , Griffin Patricia M. 
Published: September 2019

OBJECTIVES:
Postinfectious irritable bowel syndrome (PI-IBS) is an important sequela of Campylobacter infection. Our goal is to estimate the incidence of Campylobacter-associated PI-IBS in the United States.

METHODS:
Data from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2014, were obtained from the MarketScan Research Commercial Claims and Encounters Database. We identified patients with an encounter that included an International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification diagnosis code for “intestinal infection due to Campylobacter” (008.43) and individually matched them (on age group, sex, and length of enrollment) to a group of persons without a diagnosed Campylobacter infection (non-cases). The primary outcome of interest was a new diagnosis of IBS (International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification 564.1).

RESULTS:
Our final matched cohort included 4,143 cases and 20,491 non-cases. At 1 year, the incidence rate of IBS was 33.1 and 5.9 per 1,000 among cases and non-cases, respectively, with an unadjusted risk ratio of 5.6 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 4.3–7.3). After adjusting for healthcare utilization, the Cox proportional hazard ratio was 4.6 (95% CI: 3.5–6.1). Excluding those who received an IBS diagnosis within 90 days, the 1-year incidence rate of IBS was 16.7 and 3.9 per 1,000 among cases and non-cases, respectively, with an unadjusted risk ratio of 4.3 (95% CI: 3.0–6.2).

DISCUSSION:
Persons with a Campylobacter infection have a much higher risk of developing IBS compared with those not diagnosed with Campylobacter infection. The burden of Campylobacter-associated PI-IBS should be considered when assessing the overall impact of Campylobacter infections.

Objective: to determine the frequency of traditional risk factors (TRFs) for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in patients with systemic sclerosis (SS) and to analyze their relationship to the clinical manifestations of SS, as well as to structural changes, as evidenced by echocardiography (EchoCG).Subjects and methods. The investigation enrolled 125 patients with SS and 50 sex- and age-matched, apparently healthy individuals included in a control group. Standard electrocardiography was performed in all and EchoCG – in 121 patients. The Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation (SCORE) scale was used to assess the risk of fatal CVD in 100 patients with SS and in 47 control individuals within 10 years.Results and discussion. The frequency of TFRs in patients with SS was not significantly different from that in the control group, except for the occurrence of hypercholesterolemia and increased body mass index (BMI). In SS, BMI >25 kg/m2 was observed significantly more often and the frequency of hypercholesterolemia was lower than in the controls (p <0.018). Hypertension and diabetes mellitus were slightly more frequently encountered in SS patients than in the controls, but this difference was insignificant. Taking into account the Russian Society of Cardiology (RSC) guidelines, the cardiovascular risk (CVR) was assessed with the SCORE scale. A very high CVR was much more common in SS and a moderate CVR was much more frequently seen in the control group. There were no substantial differences in the frequency of low and high CVRs. SS is characterized by the increased frequency of high total CVD risk as compared to the controls. Hypertension, overweight, and over 50 years of age were associated with more obvious structural heart disease.Conclusion. TRFs make a substantial contribution to the formation of a high CVR in patients with SS, promoting the development of atherosclerosis and its complications. Assessment of TGFs in SS patients will facilitate identifying patients at high risk for cardiovascular death and timely prescribing therapy. Hypertension is an important TGF that in SS is associated with considerable structural changes in the heart; therefore adequate blood pressure control is of importance in improving SS prognosis especially in patients older than 50 years.
The influence of the grafted aryl groups on the solvation properties of the graphyne and graphdiyne - a MD study
Authors: Berisha Avni 
Published: September 2019

AbstractThe mechanism of the adsorption and grafting of diazonium cations onto the surface of graphyne and graphdiyne was investigated using Density Functional Theory (DFT). The adsorption energy (both in vacuum and water as solvent) of the phenyl diazonium cation was evaluated at three different positions of the graphyne and graphdiyne surface. Moreover, the lowest energy adsorption sites were used to calculate and plot Non-covalent Interactions (NCI). The Bond Dissociation Energy (BDE) results (up to 66 kcal/mol) for the scission of the phenyl group support the remarkable stability of the grafted layer. As both of these materials are non-dispersible in aqueous solution, in this work through the use of Molecular Mechanics (MM) and Molecular Dynamics (MD) we explored also the effect of the grafted substituted aryl groups derived from aryldiazonium salts onto the solvation properties of these materials.
Numerical approach to MHD flow of power-law fluid on a stretching sheet with non-uniform heat source
Authors: Mishra Satya Ranjan , Baag Sushma , Dash Gouranga Charan , Acharya Manas Ranjan 
Published: September 2019

AbstractIn the present study the flow of power-law fluid, due to a stretching sheet embedded in a saturated porous medium, is considered. This study also accounts for the variable thermal conductivity in the process of heat transfer along with dissipation due to Joule heating. The thermal conductivity is assumed to vary as a linear function of temperature. The similarity transformation is used to convert nonlinear partial differential equations to non linear ordinary equations. The numerical method, Runge-Kutta method with shooting technique has been applied to solve the resulting equations. The power-law fluid exhibits a dual property in the presence of magnetic field. The limiting cases n → 0 and n → ∞ have been discussed. For large n the solution becomes unstable which leads to flow instability(Shown in the graph).
Space as the Stage: Understanding the Sacred Landscape Around the Early Celtic Hillfort of the Glauberg
Authors: Posluschny Axel G. , Beusing Ruth 
Published: September 2019

AbstractThe Early ‘Celtic’ hillfort of the Glauberg in Central Germany, some 40 km northeast of Frankfurt, is renowned for its richly furnished burials and particularly for a wholly preserved sandstone statue of an Early Iron Age chief, warrior or hero with a peculiar headgear – one of the earliest life-size figural representations north of the Alps. Despite a long history of research, the basis for the apparent prosperity of the place (i.e., of the people buried here) is still debated, as is the meaning of the settlement site as part of its surrounding landscape. The phenomenon known as ‘princely sites’ is paralleled in the area north and west of the Alps, though each site has a unique set of characteristics. This paper focusses on investigations and new excavations that put the Glauberg with its settlement, burial and ceremonial features into a wider landscape context, including remote sensing approaches (geophysics and LiDAR) as well as viewshed analyses which define the surrounding area based on the Glauberg itself and other burial mounds on the mountains in its vicinity.
Genome-Wide Analysis of Cell Cycle-Regulating Genes in the Symbiotic Dinoflagellate Breviolum minutum

Published: September 2019

Abstract
A delicate relationship exists between reef-building corals and their photosynthetic endosymbionts. Unfortunately, this relationship can be disrupted, with corals expelling these algae when temperatures rise even marginally above the average summer maximum. Interestingly, several studies indicate that failure of corals to regulate symbiont cell divisions at high temperatures may underlie this disruption; increased proliferation of symbionts may stress host cells by over-production of reactive oxygen species or by disrupting the flow of nutrients. This needs to be further investigated, so to begin deciphering the molecular mechanisms controlling the cell cycle in these organisms, we used a computational approach to identify putative cell cycle-regulating genes in the genome of the dinoflagellate Breviolum minutum. This species is important as an endosymbiont of Aiptasia pallida—an anemone that is used as a model for studying coral biology. We then correlated expression of these putative cell cycle genes with cell cycle phase in diurnally growing B. minutum in culture. This approach allowed us to identify a cyclin/cyclin-dependent kinase pair that may function in the G1/S transition—a likely point for coral cells to exert control over algal cell divisions.

Abstract
Poecilia reticulata is one of the most popular ornamental fish species with a higher demand for males due to their large colorful fins. The objectives of this study were mapping of the sex-determining (SD) region on linkage group 12 of guppy, and identification of a sex specific marker. We generated eight polymorphic microsatellite markers distributed along the distal 5.4 Mbp sequence of the previously identified SD region on linkage group (LG) 12. The markers were tested for association with sex in 156 individuals of the Red Blonde and Flame strains, and 126 progeny of four full-sibs Red Blonde families. A male-specific allele was found for microsatellite gu1066 at position of 25.3 Mbp on LG12 for both strains, and gu832 at position 24.4 Mbp for the Flame strain. Thus, a region of 0.9 Mbp between these markers, harboring 27 annotated genes, was selected for analysis. Based on association of copy number variation and sex determination we mapped a duplicated region between LGs 9 and 12, of 1.26 Mbp, containing 59 genes on LG12. The common interval between the segment bounded by gu1066 and gu832, and the duplicated region of 0.43 Mbp on LG12 harbors 11 genes of which 6 have multiple copies (54%). Growth arrest and DNA damage inducible gamma-like (GADD45G-like) is a plausible positional and functional candidate gene for its role in male fertility. We characterized the genomic structure of the gene in guppy, and found two isoforms; but no sex-biased differences were evident in genomic sequence and gene expression.
Associations among the opioid receptor gene (OPRM1) A118G polymorphism, psychiatric symptoms, and quantitative EEG in Korean males with gambling disorder: A pilot study
Authors: Kim Kyoung Min , Choi Sam-Wook , Kim Dohyun , Lee Jaewon , Kim Jun Won 
Published: September 2019

Background and aims
A single nucleotide polymorphism of A118G (SNP; rs1799971) in the opioid receptor μ-1 (OPRM1) gene is a missense variant that influences the affinity of μ-opioid receptors. This study aimed to investigate the associations among the A118G polymorphism in the OPRM1 gene, psychiatric symptoms, and quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG) findings in patients with gambling disorder.

Methods
Fifty-five male patients with gambling disorder aged between 18 and 65 years old participated in the study. The A118G polymorphism was genotyped into the AA, GA, and GG groups by the polymerase chain reaction/restriction fragment length polymorphism method. Resting-state qEEG was recorded with the eyes closed, and the absolute power of the delta (1–4 Hz), theta (4–8 Hz), alpha (8–12 Hz), and beta (12–30 Hz) frequency bands was analyzed. Psychiatric symptoms, including depression, anxiety, impulsivity and severity of gambling, were assessed by a self-rating scale.

Results
There were no significant differences in psychiatric symptoms among the three genotype groups (AA, GA, and GG). However, the frequency band power of qEEG showed significant differences among the three genotype groups. The absolute power of the beta and theta bands in the frontal lobe was higher in G allele carriers.

Discussion and conclusion
Based on the findings of this study, the polymorphism in the OPRM1 gene might affect the neurophysiological process in patients with gambling disorder.
The risk of typhoon and storm surge along the coast of Vietnam
Authors: Thuy Nguyen Ba 
Published: September 2019

The history (1951–2016) and the risk of typhoon and storm surge in coastal areas of Vietnam are analyzed and evaluated based on the observation data, results of statistical and numerical models. The Monte Carlo method was used to construct a bogus typhoon. A coupled numerical model of Surge, Wave and Tide (called SuWAT) was used for simulation of storm surge. The results show that in the period of 1951–2016 there were many typhoons which landed and induced high storm surge on the coast of the North and the North of Center of Vietnam. During one thousand years, there have been 4,678 typhoons entering the coastal zone from Quang Ninh to Ca Mau. In particular, the most severe typhoon in coastal area from Quang Ninh to Thanh Hoa is at level 16 (Beaufort scale), Nghe An - Quang Tri at level 16, Quang Binh - Phu Yen at level 17, Binh Dinh - Ninh Thuan at level 15 and Binh Thuan - Ca Mau at level 13. The coastal areas with highly vulnerable storm surge are provinces from Quang Ninh to Hai Phong (4.5 m), Thanh Hoa to Nghe An (4.0 m), Quang Tri (5.0 m). The results of this study are the basis for the preparation to cope with strong/super typhoon in the coast of Vietnam.
Eliamani's Homestead
Authors: Wijngaarden Vanessa 
Published: September 2019

'Eliamani's Homestead' was shot as a result of long-term anthropological research in Tanzania and the translations were created in close cooperation with the Maasai research participants. Originally recorded for research purposes for a project on the relationship between images of and interactions with ‘the other’, the 20-minute single-shot includes jerky camera movements, but was left uncut and without voiceover in order to give the viewer a real-time experience of 'being there'. Within anthropology, the documentary invites to reflect on parallels between anthropology and tourism, and spurs debates regarding reflexivity. It addresses elements of the 'observer paradox' through the almost complete invisibility of the researcher’s camera, which stands in stark contrast with the obtrusive tourist cameras. That is, until Eliamani looks straight into the lens and dismissively comments upon the researcher’s camera too, making researcher and the documentary’s public part of the voyeuristic 'problem' as well. Outside anthropology, it invokes debates about how we see and interact with 'the other' in (cultural) tourism as well as in wider contexts. It thus addresses the question whether and how audiovisual data segments could be used to share anthropological knowledge inside and outside the discipline and academia.

Published: September 2019

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine how the concept of ‘nursing’ was perceived by intern doctors working at a medical faculty hospital. Materials and Methods: This study used a qualitative approach. The study was conducted at a medical faculty with intern doctors using the word association test, and a conceptual analysis of the nursing profession was conducted. Study participants comprised 54 intern doctors (30 males and 24 females) who voluntarily participated in the study, and the saturation point was considered (n=54).Results: Tags and frequency numbers of the themes were as follows: task conflict (f=62), negative perception burden (f=128) and professional nursing perception (f=117). The participants stated that nurses sometimes acted as physicians (occupational disorder). Nursing-related professional identity items included expressions such as altruism, devotion and self-sacrifice. The participants expressed a negative perception of nursing (e.g. sullenness and aggressiveness).Conclusion: According to the results of the study, negative perception about nursing is dominant among the intern doctors. At the point of changing relations between colleagues, interprofessional education can be applied at the undergraduate level. Joint courses should be conducted under the name of doctor-nurse cooperation. However, the answers to some questions in clinical practice can help improve professional cooperation between nurses and physicians: Why cannot we turn negative perception into a positive one? And can interprofessional learning help?

Published: September 2019

Omental cyst is rare. All conditions most likely being of congenital or benign neoplastic lymphatic origin. Patients with Omental cysts usually present with abdominal distention and a painless abdominal mass. The most common physical finding of an omental cyst is a freely movable abdominal mass. The diagnostic procedure include CT scans. Complete excision by open or laparoscopically of the cysts is considered as the treatment of choice. Recurrence and malignant deterioration of omental cysts are rare. A case report of a large omental cyst which had been laparoscopically-treated using morcellator. Laparoscopic morcellation is a technique used in gynecological surgeries such as hysterectomy and myomectomy to remove uteri and uterine fibroids (leiomyomas) through a small abdominal incision. Authors present a case of 3 year old female with pre-operative assessment tumor intra-abdominal suspect abdominal cyst. Subsequently, laparoscopic resection of omental cyst with morcellator was performed. The histopathological report was omental cyst. Omental cysts are rare, but can be shown to have atypical abdominal symptoms and radiologic findings, so clinicians must keep in mind that omental cysts causing abdominal symptoms can be misdiagnosed as simple ovarian cysts of inflammation. Omental cysts can be removed safety laparoscopically with morcellator without bowel or vessel injury.
Sapindus emarginatus extract embedded with gold nanoparticles: An antiproliferative agent against MCF7 breast cancer cell line
Authors: Kumar S. Vignesh , Kavimani V. 
Published: September 2019

<p>There are numerous studies reported on the usage of the Sapindus emarginatus (SE) fruit in cancer and other treatments in the past few years. In this study, crude SE fruit extract was prepared and it was further used to synthesis gold nanoparticles (Au Nps). The synthesized Au Nps were left embedded in the SE fruit extract. The Au Nps embedded in the SE fruit extract (SE-Au Nps) were characterized using UV Vis spectroscopy, Centrifugal particle size analyzer (CPS), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). MTT assay was carried out for both SE fruit extract and SE-Au Nps on MCF7 breast cancer cell line and compared. The UV- Vis Absorbance for the SE-Au Nps was obtained at 543nm. The centrifugal particle size analysis of the Au Nps embedded in SE fruit extract showed the size of the nanoparticles to be widely varying with higher fraction of particles between the size ranges of 15 to 20nm. The morphology of the Au Nps embedded in SE fruit extract was observed using SEM. The presence of Au Nps in SE fruit extract was confirmed using FTIR. The results of the MTT assay on MCF7 breast cancer cell line proved that the %cell viability was less for SE-Au Nps than that of the SE fruit extract alone. Thus the antiproliferative activity of the SE fruit extract was significantly enhanced by embedding it with Au Nps and it can be effectively used in therapeutic applications after further studies. </p>
