Authors: Sena Izabella Vieira dos Anjos , Mapurunga Sheila de Oliveira 
Published: October 2024

O Diabetes Mellitus Gestacional (DMG) é definido pela Organização Mundial da Saúde como intolerância a carboidratos de gravidade variável, que se inicia durante a gestação atual e não preenche os critérios diagnósticos de diabetes mellitus. Este trabalho objetiva observar a atuação de enfermeiros junto a gestantes com diabetes gestacional na Atenção Primária à Saúde. Trata-se de uma pesquisa do tipo exploratória-descritiva, por meio da abordagem quantitativa. A pesquisa ocorreu nas Unidades Básicas de Saúde do município de Tianguá, Ceará, Brasil, de agosto a dezembro de 2020. Enfermeiros atuantes nas Unidades Básicas de Saúde, independentemente do tempo de atuação constituíram os critérios de inclusão. Para coleta dos dados, utilizou-se de questionário validado e adaptado para esta pesquisa. A maioria dos enfermeiros participantes tinham entre um e cinco anos de atuação, eram do sexo feminino, com idade em média de 25 a 45 anos. Identificou-se discordância no rastreamento do DMG, em que considerável parte dos enfermeiros não solicitavam TTOG entre 24 e 28 semanas, alguns não faziam orientações sobre a importância da atividade física e não houve padronização nas condutas realizadas durante a assistência à gestante com diabetes. Enfermeiros precisam de atualizações constantes, pois, de acordo com os achados, foi perceptível que alguns apresentaram dificuldades quanto à prática e rotina de protocolos relacionadas à assistência a gestantes com DMG. Logo, recomenda-se educação permanente, que se configura como grande aliada para melhoria da assistência, possibilitando a mudança deste cenário.

Authors: Ogras Mehmet Sezai , Yildirim Kadir 
Published: October 2024

Aim
In this article, we aimed to determine the health perceptions of the patients who did not apply for double-J stent (DJS) removal on time and evaluate whether health perceptions impact this behavior.

Materials and Methods
Health perceptions of 22 patients who were treated for forgotten double-J stent (FDJS) between January 2017–October 2020 and 25 patients who applied for DJS removal during the given appointment time in the urology department of Elazig Training and Research Hospital and Elazig Fethi Sekin City Hospital were compared using the “Health Perception Scale”.

Results
Health perception scale scores in the FDJS group and control group were 62-68 (mean = 64.27 ± 1.75) and 63-68 (mean = 65.36 ± 1.55), respectively. With regard to the sub-factors of the scale, control center scores were 21.86 ± 0.77 and 22.08 ± 1.15; precision scores were 16.54 ± 0.80 and 16.56 ± 0.82; importance of health scores were 12.77 ± 0, 92 and 13.32 ± 0.74; and self-awareness points were 13.04 ± 0.72 and 13.48 ± 0.58, respectively. There was a statistically significant difference between the health perception scale in total, importance of health, and self-awareness scores between the two groups. At the same time, there was no difference in terms of the control center and precision scores (p∗ = 0.029, p∗ = 0.030, p∗ = 0.028, p = 0.460, p = 0.951).

Conclusion
Patients’ and their families’ educational status, income levels and lack of follow-up by healthcare professionals play an important role in forgotten DJS cases and patients’ perception of health may also have an impact on this behavior.
Integrating whole genome sequencing and machine learning for predicting antimicrobial resistance in critical pathogens: a systematic review of antimicrobial susceptibility tests

Published: October 2024

Background
Infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria pose a major challenge to modern healthcare. This systematic review evaluates the efficacy of machine learning (ML) approaches in predicting antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in critical pathogens (CP), considering Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) and antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST).

Methods
The search covered databases including PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, SCOPUS, and SCIELO, from their inception until June 2024. The review protocol was officially registered on PROSPERO (CRD42024543099).

Results
The review included 26 papers, analyzing data from 104,141 microbial samples. Random Forest (RF), XGBoost, and logistic regression (LR) emerged as the top-performing models, with mean Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic (AUC) values of 0.89, 0.87, and 0.87, respectively. RF showed superior performance with AUC values ranging from 0.66 to 0.97, while XGBoost and LR showed similar performance with AUC values ranging from 0.83 to 0.91 and 0.76 to 0.96, respectively. Most studies indicate that integrating WGS and AST data into ML models enhances predictive performance, improves antibiotic stewardship, and provides valuable clinical decision support. ML shows significant promise for predicting AMR by integrating WGS and AST data in CP. Standardized guidelines are needed to ensure consistency in future research.

Published: October 2024

The present study aims to estimate Above-Ground Biomass (AGB) in the moist deciduous forests of Mundgod Taluk, Uttara Kannada district, Karnataka, India using a combination of field sampling and remote sensing techniques. AGB was assessed using Sentinel-2A satellite imagery with a spatial resolution of 10 meters. Field data were collected using the Point-Centered Quarter (PCQ) method, it includes measuring tree girth at breast height (GBH), tree height, and canopy density. AGB was calculated using artificial form factor and specific gravity of tree species and further modelled using the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) derived from satellite data. The results showed a significant correlation between canopy density and biomass, with very dense forests exhibiting the highest AGB values. The field-measured AGB was 436.96 t/ha for very dense forests, 259.89 t/ha for moderately dense forests, and 161.67 t/ha for open forests. A linear regression model developed between AGB and NDVI showed a high R² value of 0.91 for open forests, 0.87 for moderately dense forests, and 0.85 for very dense forests. The total area-weighted biomass for the study area was estimated at 8.87 million tons, with 4.79 million tons in very dense forests, 3.44 million tons in moderately dense forests, and 0.76 million tons in open forests. The regression model validation indicated low Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) values, with the moderately dense forests 8.81 t/ha and the in very dense forests 7.54 t/ha. This study highlights the effectiveness of integrating field measurements with remote sensing for rapid, reliable AGB estimation. The approach offers valuable insights into biomass distribution and carbon sequestration potential, providing a scalable method for carbon inventories at state and national levels, contributing to forest management and climate change mitigation efforts.

Published: October 2024

Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr) is the most important commercial grain legume and oil seed crop which represents the most important plant source of vegetable oil and protein in the world. The water stress tolerance of the fifty soybean genotypes was evaluated in a glasshouse at the Bangladesh Institute of Nuclear Agriculture (BINA). The study was carried out to identify the drought tolerant soybean genotype(s) for improving yield under rainfed conditions in Bangladesh. Drought stress was induced by withholding water completely from 21 days after emergence. The water stress was continued until wilting symptom persisted on plant overnight. Water stress caused an overall reduction in some morphological and yield contributing characters such as plant hight, number of branches plant-1, internode length, pod plant-1, seeds pod-1, hundred (100) seeds weight and finally the seed yield of soybean. The studied genotypes were categorized into four groups based on their yield reduction under drought stress conditions. Five genotypes YESOY-4, PK-416, Shohag, SBM-09 and Binasoybean-6 were categorized as tolerant (<35% yield reduction), fourteen genotypes were categorized as moderately tolerant (35%-60% yield reduction), twenty five genotypes were categorized as moderately susceptible (61%-80% yield reduction) and rest six genotypes were categorized as susceptible (>80% yield reduction). These five genotypes YESOY-4, PK-416, Shohag, SBM-09 and Binasoybean-6 study further for developing drought tolerant soybean verities which may be helpful for quality oil seed production.

Published: June 2017

AbstractThe surface mass balance of the Greenland ice sheet has decreased in recent decades with important implications for global sea level rise. Here a climate reanalysis model is used to examine observed circulation variability and changes in precipitation across southern Greenland to gain insight into the future climate in the region. The influence on precipitation from the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO), Icelandic Low, Azores High, regional blocking patterns, and near‐surface temperature and winds are explored. Statistically significant correlations are higher between precipitation and the Icelandic Low and near‐surface winds (0.5–0.7; p < 0.05) than correlations between precipitation and either the NAO or AMO climate indices (southwest Greenland: r = 0.12 and 0.28, respectively; and southeast Greenland: r = 0.25 and −0.07, respectively). Moreover, the recent enhanced warming in the Arctic (Arctic amplification) and the increase in the Greenland Blocking Index coincide with increased mean annual precipitation and interannual variability in southwest Greenland.

Published: June 2017

ObjectiveThere is a high prevalence of undiagnosed psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in patients with psoriasis. Identifying soluble biomarkers for PsA will help in screening psoriasis patients for appropriate rheumatology referral. We therefore aimed to investigate whether serum levels of novel markers previously discovered by quantitative mass spectrometric analysis of synovial fluid and skin biopsies performs better than the C‐reactive protein (CRP) level in differentiating PsA patients from those with psoriasis without PsA (PsC).MethodsIn this case–control study, serum samples were obtained from 100 subjects with PsA, 100 with PsC, and 100 healthy controls. Patients with PsA and PsC were group matched for age, sex, psoriasis duration, and Psoriasis Area and Severity Index and were not currently receiving biologic treatment. Using enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay, 4 high‐priority markers (Mac‐2‐binding protein [M2BP], CD5‐like protein [CD5L], myeloperoxidase [MPO], and integrin β5 [ITGβ5]), as well as previously established markers (matrix metalloproteinase 3 [MMP‐3] and CRP level) were assayed. Data were analyzed using logistic regression. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted.ResultsIn comparisons to controls, CD5L, ITGβ5, M2BP, MPO, MMP‐3, and CRP level were independently associated with PsA, while only CD5L, M2BP, and MPO were independently associated with PsC alone. In comparisons to PsC, ITGβ5, M2BP, and CRP level were independently associated with PsA. ROC analysis of this model shows an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.85 (95% confidence interval [95% CI] 0.80–0.90). The model that included CRP level alone had an AUC of 0.71 (95% CI 0.64–0.78).ConclusionCD5L, ITGβ5, M2BP, MPO, MMP‐3, and CRP level are markers for PsA. The combination of ITGβ5, M2BP, and CRP level differentiates PsA from PsC, and performs better than CRP level alone.
Aggregation Behavior and Electron‐Transfer Reaction of Dendritic Perylene Bisimide, Accompanied by the Formation of Highly Stable Anionic Radical Species

Published: June 2017

AbstractA polyethylene‐glycol‐functionalized perylene bisimide (PEPBI) was synthesized. Its concentration‐, solvent‐ and temperature‐dependent visible spectra were measured and its aggregation states were analyzed. PEPBI exists as an aggregate dimer in aqueous solution or predominantly as a monomer in organic solvents. The anionic surfactant sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS) can disperse PEPBI as a monomer in aqueous solution. The fluorescence of these solutions depends on the concentration of PEPBI and SDBS. The reduction of aggregated PEPBI with Na2S is slow and the monoanion radical as well as dianion species are the main forms of monomer. PEPBI exists predominantly as monomers in DMF and reacts with Na2S much faster. Interestingly, the anionic radical species exist in H‐aggregate form at low PEPBI concentrations and J‐aggregation occurs at high concentration. The dianion species is EPR‐silent and its color highly depends on its concentration in DMF.

Published: June 2017

AbstractPhotodriven DNA strand displacement by using a 2′,6′‐dimethylazobenzene‐tethered strand and poly(l‐lysine)‐graft‐dextran (PLL‐g‐Dex) as a chaperone is reported. Rapid strand displacement was reversibly induced by UV and visible‐light irradiation without any toehold portion. To further improve the method, the concentration of PLL‐g‐Dex and the number of equivalents of the photoresponsive strand were optimised. Optimally, 64 % strand displacement was reversibly induced by alternating UV and visible‐light irradiation.

Published: June 2017

AbstractCarbon nanofiber (CNF) composites could be promising materials for flexible supercapacitors. However, it is still a challenge to grow uniformly active materials on the surface of fibers and maintain flexibility. Herein, Co3O4 nanoparticle‐decorated CNFs have been produced through the combination of electrospinning technology and a polydopamine‐assisted self‐assembly strategy. The free‐standing hybrid electrode exhibited a high capacitance of 418 F g−1 at a current density of 0.5 A g−1 in 2 M KOH solution. In addition, the as‐fabricated symmetric supercapacitors (SCs) presented excellent electrochemical performance with a capacitance of 55 F g−1, an energy density of 14.97 W h kg−1, and a power density of 5660 W kg−1. Notably, the symmetric SC device exhibited remarkable electrochemical stability and flexibility (93 % capacitance retention after 2000 cycles and 97 % after bending 100 times to 60°).
Spin‐Forbidden Excitation: A New Approach for Triggering Photopharmacological Processes with Low‐Intensity NIR Light
Authors: Kianfar Elham , Apaydin Dogukan Hazar , Knör Günther 
Published: June 2017

AbstractExposure to low‐intensity radiation in the near‐infrared (NIR) spectral region matching the optically transparent “phototherapeutic window” of biological tissues can be applied to directly populate spin‐restricted excited states of light‐responsive compounds. This unconventional and unprecedented approach is introduced herein as a new strategy to overcome some of the major unresolved problems observed in the rapidly emerging fields of photopharmacology and molecular photomedicine, where practical applications in living cells and organisms are still limited by undesired side reactions and insufficient light penetration. Water‐soluble and biocompatible metal complexes with a significant degree of spin–orbit coupling were identified as target candidates for testing our new hypothesis. As a first example, a dark‐stable manganese carbonyl complex acting as a visible‐light‐triggered CO‐releasing molecule (Photo‐CORM) is shown to be photoactivated by NIR radiation, although apparently no spectroscopically evident absorption bands are detectable in this low‐energy region. This quite remarkable effect is ascribed to a strongly restricted, but obviously not completely forbidden optical population of the lowest triplet excited state manifold of the diamagnetic complex from the singlet ground state.
Chinese Consumers' Expectations of Corporate Communication on CSR and Sustainability
Authors: Kim Sora , Ji Yingru 
Published: June 2017

AbstractThrough two representative surveys – one in Beijing the other in Hong Kong – this research empirically examines the culturally relevant dimensions of corporate social responsibility (CSR) communication in the context of China and investigates what Chinese consumers expect for CSR communication such as communication content, media channels, and sources. One dimension of CSR communication in China that this study identifies as unique is government involvement. Other dimensions include general CSR information, factual tone, transparency, and personal relevance. In this study, Chinese consumers are found to prefer non‐corporate sources and uncontrolled media channels. The study also identifies differences between Beijing and Hong Kong consumers regarding their expectations of CSR communication. The study offers a basis for developing a culturally relevant theoretical framework of CSR communication, as it identifies the significant dimensions of such communication from a stakeholder‐centric perspective in the context of China.

Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) is perhaps one of the best‐known psychoactive substances and many structural modifications of this prototypical lysergamide have been investigated. Several lysergamides were recently encountered as ‘research chemicals’ or new psychoactive substances (NPS). Although lysergic acid morpholide (LSM‐775) appeared on the NPS market in 2013, there is disagreement in the literature regarding the potency and psychoactive properties of LSM‐775 in humans. The present investigation attempts to address the gap of information that exists regarding the analytical profile and pharmacological effects of LSM‐775. A powdered sample of LSM‐775 was characterized by X‐ray crystallography, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC–MS), high mass accuracy electrospray MS/MS, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) diode array detection, HPLC quadrupole MS, and GC solid‐state infrared analysis. Screening for receptor affinity and functional efficacy revealed that LSM‐775 acts as a nonselective agonist at 5‐HT1A and 5‐HT2A receptors. Head twitch studies were conducted in C57BL/6J mice to determine whether LSM‐775 activates 5‐HT2A receptors and produces hallucinogen‐like effects in vivo. LSM‐775 did not induce the head twitch response unless 5‐HT1A receptors were blocked by pretreatment with the antagonist WAY‐100,635 (1 mg/kg, subcutaneous). These findings suggest that 5‐HT1A activation by LSM‐775 masks its ability to induce the head twitch response, which is potentially consistent with reports in the literature indicating that LSM‐775 is only capable of producing weak LSD‐like effects in humans.

Published: June 2017

Extra virgin olive oil is widely consumed because of its nutritional benefits and sensory properties which are very important to be preserved in the product. Therefore, chemically synthesised compounds, such as butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), are widely used as antioxidants in oil products. It is well known that the activity of some micro‐organisms able to oxidise free fatty acids can lead to the loss of the stability of the final product. Nevertheless, several researchers have been recently motivated to evaluate the potential of micro‐organisms on the production of bioactive compounds. In this paper, headspace solid micro‐extraction (HS‐SPME) and gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry (GC‐MS) were used for the characterization and investigation of Fungal Organic Volatile Metabolites (FOVCs) emitted by 14 fungal strains isolated from olives during their pre‐processing storage. A wide range of volatile compounds were detected among them, BHT was produced at levels ranging between 0.3 and 13.1%. This compound could be considered for the industry as natural antioxidant to substitute the synthetic ones used for ameliorating the stability of olive oil and other fatty food products.Practical applications: As the pre‐processing storage step is inevitable for several practical reasons, inducing the outgrowth of olive microflora (mainly fungi), which critically affect the physiological state of the fruit and thus the quality of the correspondent oil, this paper try to elucidate the potential of these naturally developing strains and their metabolites (FVOCs) of producing bioactive compounds mainly the BHT which could be considered by the industry in order to substitute the synthetic one largely used to improve the stability of olive oil and other food products. Volatiles, when coupled with the power “omics” technologies represent a new frontier in bio‐prospecting.FOVCs profile of 14 fungi strains isolated from olives stored during 2, 5, and 7 days in plastic bags is determinate by HS‐SPME‐GC‐MS. 87 FVOCs are detected representing six groups dominated by the non‐terpene derivatives. Interestingly, a compound with particular interest is detected; the Butylated Hydroxytoluene (BHT) is naturally emitted by 11 strains from the 14 isolated fungi at levels ranging between 0.3 and 13.1% (for Aspergillus conicus). A result which could be considered by the industry in order to substitute the synthetic antioxidants largely used to improve the stability of olive oil and other food products.
