Key Points

Breast and prostate cancer screening were more frequent among patients on hemodialysis waitlisted for kidney transplant.Among patients not waitlisted for transplant, we found that screening rates were generally higher among patients with higher predicted 5-year survival.Among patients not waitlisted for transplant and with the highest predicted 5-year survival, there was a deficit of screening compared with waitlisted patients.

Background
The Choosing Wisely campaign suggests an individualized approach to cancer screening among patients receiving dialysis. We aimed to evaluate breast and prostate cancer screening among patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis by kidney transplant waitlist status and 5-year survival probability.

Methods
We conducted a retrospective cohort study using a nationally representative population of hemodialysis patients. Patients receiving hemodialysis each calendar year from 2003 to 2018, ≥1 year of Medicare as the Primary Payer, and age 50–69 years were included. The cohort was split into prognosis and cancer screening sets. Models of 5-year survival were built in the prognosis set using logistic regression. Five-year survival probabilities were generated in the cancer screening set, excluding patients with prior breast or prostate cancer, and screening over the next year was assessed.

Results
One hundred sixty thousand five hundred thirty-seven patients contributed 356,165 person-years to the cancer screening set (59% of the person-years were contributed by males, median age was 60 years). Compared with a benchmark rate of 50% (e.g., mammography every other year), 42% of waitlisted female-years were screened by mammography. Overall, 17% of nonwaitlisted female-years were screened (20% among those with >50% probability of 5-year survival and 8% among those with <10% probability of 5-year survival). Compared with a benchmark rate of 20% (e.g., serum prostate-specific antigen screening up to 5 years apart), 24% of waitlisted male-years were screened with serum prostate-specific antigen. Overall, 15% of nonwaitlisted male-years were screened (13% among those with >50% probability of 5-year survival and 11% among those with <10% probability of five-survival). Patterns were similar after age-standardization.

Conclusions
Patients with higher predicted survival have higher rates of cancer screening, suggesting providers consider life expectancy. However, nonwaitlisted patients with high probability of 5-year survival were less likely to be screened compared with waitlisted patients. Interventions may be needed to close this screening gap.

Key Points

Total incretin levels and incretin response during oral glucose tolerance testing were significantly higher among patients with moderate-to-severe nondiabetic patients with CKD compared with healthy people.Unlike in healthy individuals, increased incretin response was not correlated with insulin response and coincided with persistently greater glucagon levels to oral glucose tolerance testing in CKD.Disruption in the incretin system and glucagon dynamics may contribute to metabolic complications in moderate-to-severe CKD.

Background
Incretins are regulators of insulin secretion and glucose homeostasis metabolized by dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4). CKD may modify incretin release, metabolism, or response.

Methods
We performed 2-hour oral glucose tolerance testing in 59 people with nondiabetic CKD (eGFR <60 ml/min per 1.73 m2) and 39 matched controls. We measured total area under the curve and incremental area under the curve (iAUC) of plasma total glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and total glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP). Fasting DPP-4 levels and activity were measured. Linear regression was used to adjust for demographic, body composition, and lifestyle factors.

Results
Mean (SD) eGFR was 38±13 and 89±17 ml/min per 1.73 m2 in patients with CKD and controls, respectively. GLP-1 total area under the curve and GIP iAUC were higher in patients with CKD than controls with a mean of 1531±1452 versus 1364±1484 pM×min and 62,370±33,453 versus 42,365±25,061 pg×min/ml, respectively. After adjustment, CKD was associated with 15,271 pM×min/ml greater GIP iAUC (95% confidence intervals [CIs], 387 to 30,154) compared with controls. Adjustment for covariates attenuated associations of CKD with higher GLP-1 iAUC (adjusted difference, 122; 95% CI, −619 to 864). Plasma glucagon levels were higher at 30 minutes (mean difference, 1.6; 95% CI, 0.3 to 2.8 mg/dl) and 120 minutes (mean difference, 0.84; 95% CI, 0.2 to 1.5 mg/dl) in patients with CKD compared with controls. There were no differences in insulin levels or plasma DPP-4 activity or levels between groups.

Conclusions
Overall, incretin response to oral glucose is preserved or augmented in moderate-to-severe CKD, without apparent differences in circulating DPP-4 concentration or activity. However, neither insulin secretion nor glucagon suppression is enhanced.

Published: October 2024

Malaysia's aquaculture industry has seen significant growth in recent years, with the giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) emerging as a key species of economic importance. This study examines the intricate challenges faced by hatchery owners’ breeding facilities in Manjung, Perak, Malaysia as they strive to maintain and improve the brood stock production of this valuable crustacean. The research focuses on multifaceted, operational aspects of managing giant freshwater prawn hatcheries. Through a combination of field studies guided by qualitative methodology, the identification of primary obstacles encountered at Manjung breeding facilities was evaluated via current management practices. The findings revealed that hatchery owners lack adequate managerial skills in handling operational matters such as budgeting, labor utilization, utilities, marketing, and networking. The most critical factor was cost-effective sourcing of healthy, brood stock supply from local fishermen. Furthermore, the research underscores the importance of genetic diversity in broodstock populations as hatcheries struggle with inbreeding depression, necessitating the development of more robust breeding programs. From the socio-economic standpoint, a holistic approach to addressing these issues, emphasizes the need for increased collaboration between research institutions, government agencies, and private sector stakeholders. The study provided a comprehensive overview of the complexities inherent in managing giant freshwater prawn breeding facilities in Malaysia. By identifying key challenges and potential solutions, it aims to contribute to the sustainable development of this vital sector of Malaysia's aquaculture industry. The findings have implications for policy-making, industry practices, and future research directions in the field of freshwater prawn aquaculture and food security agenda.????????????????

Published: October 2024

Digital zakat management refers to the use of technology to facilitate the collection, distribution, and management of zakat, an Islamic tax on wealth. Digitalization can enhance zakat management by increasing efficiency, transparency, and convenience. However, digital zakat management also poses some challenges, such as the risk of zakat fund transfer failure, sharia compliance risk, and technological information risk. These risks can be addressed through global cybersecurity and fintech advancements. The main objective of this research is to review and analyze the use of digital zakat management research. It found that there are initial research had been done in emerging countries on digital zakat management, as well as authors from respective institutions. It is expected to have a clear view of the impact and benefit of using digital zakat management which then can be tested in empirical studies. An optimal collection of zakat funds is the aim as a result of an effective zakat management system.
The Interplay of Persistent Organic Pollutants and Mediterranean Diet in Association With the Risk of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus
Authors: Yu Guoqi , Pang Wei Wei , Yang Jiaxi , Guivarch Claire , Grewal Jagteshwar , Chen Zhen , Zhang Cuilin 
Published: October 2024

OBJECTIVE
Certain foods characterizing the alternate Mediterranean diet (aMED) are high in persistent organic pollutants (POPs), which are related to greater gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) risk. We examined the associations of combined aMED and POP exposure with GDM.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
aMED score of 1,572 pregnant women was derived from food frequency questionnaires at early pregnancy within the U.S. Fetal Growth Study and plasma concentrations of 76 POPs, including organochlorine pesticides, polybrominated diphenyl ethers, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, were measured. Associations of combined aMED score and exposure to POPs with GDM risk were examined by multivariable logistic regression models.

RESULTS
In 61 of 1,572 (3.88%) women with GDM, 25 of 53 included POPs had a detection rate &gt;50%. Higher POP levels appeared to diminish potential beneficial associations of aMED score with GDM risk, with the lowest GDM risk observed among women with both high aMED score and low POP concentrations. Specifically, adjusted log-odds ratios of GDM risk comparing women with low PCB and high aMED score with those with low aMED score and high PCB concentrations was −0.74 (95% CI −1.41, −0.07). Inverse associations were also observed among women with low aMED score and high TransNo_chlor, PCB182_187, PCB196_203, PCB199, and PCB206. These associations were more pronounced among women with overweight or obesity.

CONCLUSIONS
Pregnant women who consumed a healthy Mediterranean diet but had a low exposure to POP concentrations had the lowest GDM risk. Future endeavors to promote a healthy diet to prevent GDM may consider concurrent POP exposure.
Age determination of the Arctic Fox (Vulpes lagopus) using the pulp cavity–tooth width ratio
Authors: Czajkowska Natalia , Pokojska Anna 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
The aim of this study was to ascertain the suitability of an age determination method which uses the ratio between the width of the pulp cavity and the width of the tooth itself. The measurements were obtained from X-ray pictures of individual teeth using an intraoral sensor. We found that with age, the ratio decreased, and that this change was more prominent in the maxillary canines (104 and 204) than the mandibular (304 and 404). The Arctic fox heads used in this study were sourced from a private fur farm from Poland, and were deep-frozen until the research began.
The results suggest that the method we used is reliable for determining the age of an individual, however, it can be inaccurate due to the fact it doesn’t consider three-dimensional changes occurring in the dental cavity and the shape of the tooth. On the other hand, this method is far more accessible and simpler than, for example, one utilising three-dimensional imaging, since most veterinary practices are equipped with basic X-ray equipment.

Published: October 2024

Objective: The aim of the present study was to analyse and compare the initial health situation before starting the lifestyle programme in 4 editions of the programme.

Theoretical framework: HaSEN is an annual intervention programme for the generation of healthy habits on eating behaviour (psychonutrition) and active lifestyle (physical exercise) in university workers in the contemplative phase of motivation to change.

Methods: A total of 74 workers participated between the 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 editions from a Spanish university (24-59 years; M = 42.3; SD = 8.5) 19 men (26%) and 55 women (74%). Anthropometric, biological, lifestyle and psychological variables were analysed.

Results and Discussion: Anthropometric, biological, lifestyle and psychological variables were analysed. Adherence to the Mediterranean diet in the 2021 edition workers at the start of the intervention was found to be higher than in 2019 and achievement motivation higher than in 2020, results that could be related to the special situation derived from the Covid-19 pandemic.

Implications of the research: This shows the importance of knowing the baseline health status of workers in behaviours such as those observed in the last edition (2022) in terms of worsening adherence to the Mediterranean diet. This aspect highlights the need to apply interventions such as the HaSEN programme for the maintenance of a healthy lifestyle in terms of nutrition and physical exercise behaviour in the population under study.

Originality/value: This study contributes to the scientific literature on public health in the population of university workers. It provides retrospective and prospective information on baseline health status and motivation to change habits to maintain a lifestyle in a working population subjected to high levels of work demands and the implications that this may have on the overall health status of this population.
Influence of Fermented Icacinia manni Meal on Growth Performance, Carcass, Internal Organs and Nutrient Digestibility of Weaner Rabbits
Authors: Essien, Comfort Abel  
Published: October 2024

A twelve-week trial was conducted to determine the effect of fermented Icacinia manni meal on the performance, carcass, internal organs and nutrient digestibility coefficient of young growing rabbits. A total of forty (40) growing rabbits were used for the study. Four (4) experimental diets were formulated and labeled (T1, T2, T3 and T4. T1 (the control) had no fermented Icacinia manni meal, while T2, T3 and T4 contained fermented Icacinia manni meal at 5%, 10% and 15%, respectively, partly replacing maize in the diets. The rabbits were divided into four (4) treatments of ten rabbits, and each treatment was allotted to one of the experimental diets using a completely randomized design (CRD). Each treatment was further sub-divided into five replicates of two rabbits each and house individually in double-tier hutches. Feed and water were supplied ad libitum. Data collected were subjected to a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). There were no significant (p>0.05) differences in feed intake, growth performance and feed conversion ratio of the growing rabbit. The values for live weight, dressed weight and dressing percentages of the growing rabbits were statistically similar (p<0.05). The internal organs (heart, lungs, liver and kidney) were not significantly affected (p>0.05) by the diets. The nutrient digestibility coefficient of the growing rabbits was influenced by the diet. It was concluded that fermented Icacinia manni meal could be included in rabbit diet up to 15% with no deleterious effects on the animals.

При выемке полезных ископаемых в первую очередь возникает вопрос об экономической целесообразности их добычи. Малая мощность угольных пластов, ведение работ на больших глубинах, высокий коэффициент вскрыши, пласты, требующие селективной выемки, могут сделать добычу угля экономически нецелесообразной. Для решения ряда подобных вопросов, а также повышения экономической эффективности и объёмов добычи может быть использована технология «опережающей отработки». Эта технология предусматривает первоначальное выбуривание пластов комплексом КГРП с открытой горной выработки. При этом уголь, оставляемый в межкамерных целиках во время работы КГРП, в последующем дорабатывается открытыми горными работами, поэтому данные целики не относят к потерям.
Primarily the economic efficiency question is rising during the mineral extraction. Low thickness of coal seams, deep mining, higher stripping ratio requiring selected extraction can make coal mining economically impractical. The advanced mining technology could be used to solve a number of similar issues, increase economic efficiency and production volumes. This technology provides for the initial drilling of the coal seams using the highwall mining system complex from a pit opening. At the same time, the coal left in room pillars during operations of the highwall mining is further developed by open-pit extraction, so these pillars are not classified as losses.

Устойчивая тенденция перехода горных работ на большие глубины и их интенсификация с помощью современного высокопроизводительного оборудования ведет к осложнению геологических и горнотехнических условий и вызывает рост динамических проявлений различной физической природы, в том числе, в катастрофической форме. Для повышения безопасности горных работ возникает необходимость контроля все большего числа параметров техногенного изменения горного массива и технологических процессов горного предприятия, что ведет к росту сложности контроля ведения проходческих, очистных и вспомогательных работ и, как следствие, - к снижению управляемости горным предприятием в целом. Возникает необходимость перехода на более высокий уровень безопасности ведения горных работ, который может быть достигнут путем внедрения многофункциональной системы безопасности горного предприятия (МФСБ).
The broad trend of increasing the depth of the mining development and its intensification by the modern efficient equipment leads to the geological and mining conditions complication and causes the increase of dynamic phenomena of variant physical nature, which includes accidents. The necessity of the control a large number of the rock massif technogenic changes parameters and mining enterprise technical processes arises for mining safety improving. It leads to the complication of control of development, coal-face and auxiliary works and, as a result, to the reduction of the mining enterprise control in general. There is a need to progress to the higher level of mining safety, which can be achieved by the multifunctional mining safety system implementation (MSS). MSS is primarily aimed at providing a target safety level (acceptable level of risk) with effective management of the underground coal mining enterprise.
