Published: September 2017

Abstract
The influence of vitamins B1 (thiamine hydrochloride), B6 (pyridoxine) and B12 (cyanocobalamine) on the micellization, surface activity and viscometric behavior of anionic surfactant sodium dodecylsulfate, cationic surfactant cetylpyridinium bromide and nonionic surfactant hexadecylpoly[oxyethylene(20)] alcohol at different temperatures was studied. The critical micelle concentration, the micellization thermodynamics, the maximum adsorption density, the standard free energy of adsorption and the other micellar parameters of surfactants in the presence of vitamins B1, B6 and B12 were obtained. On the basis of dependence of the relative viscosities on concentration, the viscosity B-coefficients of the Jones-Dole semiempirical equation were calculated for both premicellar and postmicellar regions. The results of our study allowed the conclusion that vitamins B1, B6 and B12 are solubilized in micelles.

Published: September 2017

Abstract
A simple method to prepare cobalt nanoparticles (CoNPs) in an aqueous environment was developed utilizing 4-aminophenol as a reducing agent and the gemini surfactant (14-4-14)/polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as a stabilizer. The localized surface plasmon resonance band of cobalt nanoparticles in the UV-Vis spectrum was used to determine the rate of formation of cobalt nanoparticles and to assess the beginning of the oxidation process. The effect of the concentration cobalt nitrate, 4-aminophenol, 14-4-14 and PVP was investigated on the growth rate of CoNPs. The data obtained in this work provide valuable information on the rate of reaction at the nanoscale.
Les activités d’Adl Wal Ihssane dans les quartiers.Comment construire un consensus « non légal » à partir d’un conflit « toléré »
Authors: Yafout Merieme 
Published: September 2017

À partir de l’observation des activités menées par les femmes membres du mouvement islamiste marocain Al Adl Wal Ihssane (AWI) au niveau d’un quartier, cet article analyse la conception du développement portée par ce mouvement et essaie de répondre à la question suivante: comment des visions contradictoires du développement (celle d’AWI, celle des autorités, celle d’autres acteurs associatifs) cohabitent au sein d’un même quartier, et ce que les interactions entre ces différents acteurs nous disent des modes de gouvernement à l’échelle locale? La prise en considération des islamistes comme acteurs du développement humain et de l’éducation religieuse et la spiritualité comme éléments importants de ce développement, montre la complexité des rapports sociaux et politiques que le mouvement islamiste entretient avec le pouvoir et avec la société toute entière. Les interactions du mouvement islamiste avec les différents acteurs locaux, met en évidence une dialectique entre conflit et consensus autour d’un modèle hégémonique « occidental » du développement. Cette dialectique laisse s’exprimer d’autres stratégies qui s’épanouissent dans les activités quotidiennes et d’autres conceptions de ce que serait une « bonne » conduite de vie. Intentionnelles ou non, les stratégies de décharge, de différenciation, de discrétion, de concurrence ou de conformité, et les modes alternatifs de gouvernement et de conduite de vie que cet article a souligné, montrent que les rapports entre les différents acteurs ne peuvent se réduire à un conflit ou à un consensus, et que leurs comportements ne peuvent être expliqués seulement par un rejet ou une acceptation. Le paradigme néolibéral du développement peut constituer à la fois un terrain d’entente et un lieu de conflit entre des modèles de société tout à fait différents.
Identification of genus Acinetobacter : Standardization of in-house PCR and its comparison with conventional phenotypic methods
Authors: Kulkarni Sughosh S. , Madalgi Radhika , Ajantha Ganavalli S. , Kulkarni Raghavendra D. 
Published: September 2017

Abstract
CONTEXT: Acinetobacter is grouped under nonfermenting Gram-negative bacilli. It is increasingly isolated from pathological samples. The ability of this genus to acquire drug resistance and spread in the hospital settings is posing a grave problem in healthcare. Specific treatment protocols are advocated for Acinetobacter infections. Hence, rapid identification and drug susceptibility profiling are critical in the management of these infections.
AIMS: To standardize an in-house polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for identification of genus Acinetobacter and to compare PCR with two protocols for its phenotypic identification.
METHODOLOGY: A total of 96 clinical isolates of Acinetobacter were included in the study. An in-house PCR for genus level identification of Acinetobacter was standardized. All the isolates were phenotypically identified by two protocols. The results of PCR and phenotypic identification protocols were compared.
RESULTS: The in-house PCR standardized was highly sensitive and specific for the genus Acinetobacter. There was 100% agreement between the phenotypic and molecular identification of the genus. The preliminary identification tests routinely used in clinical laboratories were also in complete agreement with phenotypic and molecular identification.
CONCLUSION: The in-house PCR for genus level identification is specific and sensitive. However, it may not be essential for routine identification as the preliminary phenotypic identification tests used in the clinical laboratory reliably identify the genus Acinetobacter.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Timely treatment of urinary tract infection (UTI) with appropriate antibiotic administration is of immense importance in children to reduce the consequences.
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: The aim and objective of this study was to assess the temporal changes in the microbiological profiles and antimicrobial resistance patterns of uropathogens in pediatric community-acquired UTI.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: This is a retrospective analysis of data collected over a Scattered period of 5 years. The baseline data collected were from January to December 2009, and the second period considered for comparison was from January to December 2014. Urine specimens from children (<17 years) suspected of UTI were cultured by a semi-quantitative method on cysteine lactose electrolyte-deficient medium. Antibiotic sensitivity was put up by Kirby–Bauer disc diffusion method as per the Clinical and Laboratory Standard Institute guidelines.
RESULTS: In the year 2009, 340 of 2104 (16.15%) urine specimens yielded significant colony count, whereas in 2014, it was 407 of 2212 (18.39%) (P = 0.051). Escherichia coli was the predominant pathogen and was significantly more prevalent in girls than in boys (P < 0.0001) during both periods. There was a significant overall increase in resistance to ampicillin (from 40.29% to 58.72%), amoxyclav (from 26.17% to 40.54%), nitrofurantoin (from 28.82% to 39.06%), and norfloxacin (from 30% to 41.42%). However, the maximum increase in the resistance was noted for co-trimoxazole from 35.58% in 2009 to 63.39% in 2014 (P = 0.0000058). The prevalence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) has also significantly increased from 21.7% to 33.16% (P = 0.0045).
CONCLUSION: Although E. coli remains the prime pathogen in pediatric UTI, the prevalence of resistance has dramatically increased over the 5-year study period. Our study highlights the emergence of community-acquired ESBL-producing uropathogens in children proclaiming treatment challenges.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Clindamycin has become an important antimicrobial option for the treatment of Staphylococcus aureus. However, little is known about the current patterns of clindamycin-susceptibility in S. aureus invasive isolates, both in our country and in other developing countries in the world.
AIMS: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of constitutive and inducible clindamycin resistance in methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) blood culture isolates in São Paulo, Brazil.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: From July 2011 to June 2012, all S. aureus isolates from blood cultures collected at our hospital were included in the study. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed according to recommendations of the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute.
RESULTS: Total prevalence of clindamycin resistance was 68%, including 7.2% with inducible resistance. In MRSA resistance rate was 90.8% whereas in MSSA the rate was 32.7%.
CONCLUSIONS: Our high prevalence of clindamycin resistance highlights the importance of performing D-test in a routine base, as well of maintaining continued surveillance for the prevalence of clindamycin resistance.

Published: September 2017

Abstract
Aeromonas is a Gram-negative bacillus, widely found in aquatic environment. Osteoarticular pathology caused by AeromonA. hydrophilal is rarely encountered. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of chronic osteomyelitis by A. hydrophilal reported from India. We report a case of chronic osteomyelitis of the lower limb due to A. hydrophilal, which occurred as a delayed complication following open reduction and internal fixation. Prompt medical and surgical intervention supplemented by a comprehensive microbiological workup aided in pathogen identification and specific antimicrobial administration resulting in the successful outcome of our patient. This case illustrates the utility of multidisciplinary management approach involving microbiologists and orthopedicians in investigating and appropriately managing such cases.

Authors: S Raja , I Ramya 
Published: September 2017

<p>Aim: The aim of present study was to evaluate the cardioprotective efficacy of <em>Polygonum glabrum</em> on isoproterenol induced myocardial necrosis in rats. Methods: Experimental rats were treated orally with methanol extract of <em>Polygonum glabrum</em> at two doses (200 mg and 400 mg/kg) for 30 days. Isoproterenol (85 mg/kg, s.c.) was administered on 29<sup>th</sup> and 30<sup>th</sup> day to induce myocardial necrosis. At the end of the experiment, serum cardiac marker enzymes [creatine kinase muscle brain (CK-MB), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), serum glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (SGOT)], serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase (SGPT) and total protein (TP) were estimated. Plasma total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL) and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) levels were also recorded. Further, antioxidant parameters viz catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione (GSH), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione reductase (GRD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were evaluated in heart tissue homogenate. Results: The results of the study indicated that, methanol extract of <em>Polygonum glabrum</em> showed greater cardioprotection by restoring the cardiac marker enzymes and attenuated the level of plasma lipid profiles along with an increase in HDL. Additionally, level of myocardial antioxidants significantly increased along with a reduction in the content of malondialdehyde. The cardioprotective effect was compared with propranolol (10 mg/kg, oral) which was used as the standard. Histopathological findings revealed a decrease in the degree of necrosis and inflammation following pretreatment with <em>Polygonum glabrum</em>. Conclusion: The present investigation indicates that <em>Polygonum glabrum</em> could protect myocardium from isoproterenol induced necrosis.</p>

Abstract. Ozone profile trends over the period 2000 to 2016 from several merged satellite ozone data sets and from ground-based data measured by four techniques at stations of the Network for the Detection of Atmospheric Composition Change indicate significant ozone increases in the upper stratosphere, between 35 and 48 km altitude (5 and 1 hPa). Near 2 hPa (42 km), ozone has been increasing by about 1.5 % per decade in the tropics (20° S to 20° N), and by 2 to 2.5 % per decade in the 35 to 60° latitude bands of both hemispheres. At levels below 35 km (5 hPa), 2000 to 2016 ozone trends are smaller and not statistically significant. The observed trend profiles are consistent with expectations from chemistry climate model simulations. This study confirms positive trends of upper stratospheric ozone already reported, e.g., in the WMO/UNEP Ozone Assessment 2014 or by Harris et al. (2015). Compared to those studies, three to four additional years of observations, updated and improved data sets with reduced drift, and the fact that nearly all individual data sets indicate ozone increase in the upper stratosphere, all give enhanced confidence. Uncertainties have been reduced, for example for the trend near 2 hPa in the 35 to 60° latitude bands from about ±5 % (2σ) in Harris et al. (2015) to less than ±2 % (2σ). Nevertheless, a thorough analysis of possible drifts and differences between various data sources is still required, as is a detailed attribution of the observed increases to declining ozone-depleting substances and to stratospheric cooling. Ongoing quality observations from multiple independent platforms are key for verifying that recovery of the ozone layer continues as expected.
Agreement of Axillary and Auricular Temperature with Rectal Temperature in Systemically Healthy Dogs Undergoing Surgery
Authors: Cichocki Brandy , Dugat Danielle , Payton Mark 
Published: September 2017

ABSTRACTObtaining a patient’s temperature is an important part of a patient’s physical examination. As human medicine transitions to noninvasive temperature measurements, so does veterinary medicine. Historically, temperature measurement has been obtained from rectal readings; however, alternative methods, such as axillary and auricular temperatures, are increasing in popularity. The purpose of the study was to compare these alternative techniques to the gold standard of rectal temperature. Temperatures were obtained three ways for each patient: rectal, axillary, and auricular. Results indicated a positive linear relationship between rectal and axillary temperatures (bivariate correlation coefficient [r] = 0.65, P &lt; .001) and axillary and auricular temperatures (r = 0.55, P &lt; .001). Agreement was strongest between rectal and auricular temperatures (r = 0.80, P &lt; .001). The average discrepancy between axillary and rectal temperature was 1.2°C [2.1°F] with the highest difference being 4.0°C [7.3°F]. The average discrepancy between auricular and rectal temperature was 0.6°C [1.2°F] with the highest difference being 2.2°C [4.1°F]. Despite auricular temperatures having stronger agreement, Bland-Altman Limits of Agreement testing revealed that it was a poor predictor of rectal temperature. Based on these results, axillary and auricular temperatures should not be substituted for rectal temperature.
Gastric Dilatation Associated with Gastric Colonization with Sarcina-Like Bacteria in a Cat with Chronic Enteritis
Authors: Im Joon Young , Sokol Set , Duhamel Gerald E. 
Published: September 2017

ABSTRACTAn 11 yr old spayed female domestic longhair cat was presented for an acute onset of vomiting. Abdominal radiographs and ultrasound revealed severe gastric dilatation (GD) without evidence of gastric outflow obstruction. On esophagogastroduodenoscopy, the duodenal mucosa was mildly erythematous, and a moderate, diffuse, chronic enteritis was found by histological examination of duodenal biopsies. Large numbers of Sarcina-like bacteria without associated inflammation were present in gastric mucosal biopsies. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first report of GD associated with colonization by Sarcina-like bacteria in a cat. Gastric colonization by Sarcina-like bacteria should be suspected when cats are presented with acute onset of GD and vomiting.
