Authors: Das Keya , Ryali Sumalatha , Jampana Ritu Varma , Ashwini S. 
Published: October 2024

Abstract

Introduction:
Postpartum psychiatric disorders show a rising trend in developing countries, where the lack of social support is a major risk factor. Evidence from Western scientific literature also reports of similar preventive role of social support in postpartum psychiatric states. However, the attitudes toward childbearing may differ across cultures and also within the same cultural sphere. With this background, we aimed to assess the perceived social support and its association with postpartum psychiatric morbidity in a rural setting in South India.

Methodology:
A total of 100 postpartum women who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were included in the study following their consent. Sociodemographic data sheet and Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fourth edition, Text Revision (DSM IV-TR), and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support were administered on them. Appropriate statistical analysis was done. P <0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results:
The majority of our sample recorded high perceived social support (76%), with 90% reporting high support from a special person. 10% had major depressive disorder, out of which 6% recorded melancholia, and 7% recorded suicidality on DSM IV-TR. Increasing age had lower perceived social support, P = 0.024. As perceived social support was reduced, increased psychiatric morbidity was significantly noted, with suicidality and melancholia.

Conclusions:
Our study finds a significant association between perceived social support and postpartum depression (PPD). Lesser social support was associated with increased suicidality and melancholia features in cases of PPD. Amplification of social support in expectant mothers is a useful way to safeguard against postpartum psychiatric disorders.

Abstract

Background:
Groin pain is a complex musculoskeletal condition, causing significant difficulty in its diagnosis and management. The stability of the anterior pelvis is maintained by the formation of a complex fibrous aponeurotic plate by the rectus abdominis and adductor longus tendons. It is, therefore, vital to have a comprehensive understanding of this condition to guide appropriate management. We aimed to measure the adductor–rectus angle (ARA), which is the angle between the rectus abdominis and adductor longus tendon to establish a normal range in a diverse group of healthy individuals on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with the aim of investigating its possible association with the occurrence of athletic pubalgia.

Materials and Methods:
A retrospective cross-sectional study assessed the ARA in 100 asymptomatic normal healthy individuals who had undergone an MRI of the pelvis. The participants were categorized based on gender and divided into three age groups: under 40, between 40 and 60, and above 60 years. Descriptive statistics were calculated for each group and were followed by a one-way analysis of variance to identify any significant differences between these groups.

Results:
The mean ARA in the entire study cohort was 135.543° +6.4814°. The ARA did not differ significantly among different age groups or genders.

Conclusion:
The ARA helps to evaluate pelvic muscles’ alignment and offers valuable insights into the force applied to the fibrous aponeurotic plate. This information could potentially aid in identifying athletes at risk of sports hernias and inform the development of personalized treatment strategies.

Authors: Michael Aondoaseer , Ogiator Adaora Blessing Chinenye , Ochoga Martha Omoo 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) is a rare congenital lung malformation accounting for 25% of congenital malformations and 95% of congenital lung lesions. Diagnosis prenatally is by ultrasonography while postnatal diagnosis follows presentation with respiratory distress symptoms and radiographic imaging. Although they are often misdiagnosed radiologically, most cases of CPAM are manageable with proper assessment, diagnosis and interventions.

Published: October 2024

Background and purpose:
SARS-CoV-2 causes a severe respiratory disease known as COVID-19 and is responsible for a global viral pandemic. The SARS-CoV-2 receptor binding domain (RBD) is located on the spike protein, which identifies and binds to the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor. The RBD is an important target for developing virus-neutralizing antibodies, vaccines, and inhibitors.

Experimental approach:
In this study, recombinant SARS-CoV-2 RBD was expressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3) and purified and its binding activity was determined. Purification was conducted using the Ni-NTA column. ELISA. flow cytometry assays were set to evaluate the binding ability of recombinant RBD to different anti-RBD antibodies and native ACE2 receptors on HEK293A cells, respectively.

Findings/Results:
The SDS-PAGE analysis revealed the corresponding band at 27 kDa in the culture after induction with 0.7 mM IPTG, while the corresponding band was not observed in the culture without IPTG induction. ELISA results showed that antibodies produced in the human sera could bind to the recombinant RBD protein and the commercial anti-RBD antibody. Also, flow cytometry analysis revealed that the recombinant RBD could bind to human ACE2 on the surface of HEK293A cells.

Conclusion and implication:
Our outcomes displayed that the recombinant RBD expressed in the E. coli strain has biological activity and can be used as an antigen for the development of diagnosis kits and vaccines as well as a tool for screening drugs against SASR-CoV-2.
Perioperative and frailty outcomes after total knee arthroplasty: a retrospective cohort study
Authors: Tan Boon Hian , Poon Kein Boon 
Published: October 2024

Abstract

Background:
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a common procedure with an increasing demand, especially among the elderly. Frailty is known to be associated with adverse perioperative outcomes in the older population. In this article, we aimed to understand the associations of preoperative frailty status and comorbid conditions in relation to their clinical and healthcare outcomes after TKA, and to describe the perioperative factors leading to improvement in a patient’s frailty status after TKA.

Methods:
This is a retrospective cohort study, and the outcomes were assessed over 2 years. Frailty is defined by the Clinical Frailty Score.

Results:
A total of 96 patient records were assessed, of which 13 (13.5%) patients were robust and 83 (86.5%) patients were prefrail or frail. Two years after TKA, the number of robust patients increased to 58 (61.7%) patients, showing a reversal of frailty in 48.2% of patients.

Conclusion:
Total knee arthroplasty in prefrail and frail patients is a safe procedure that leads to improvement of frailty status, with an increase in the proportion of patients becoming robust within 2 years after the operation.

Published: October 2024

Detecting emerging research trends is crucial as it allows for the proactive identification and monitoring of novel and influential topics in the scientific community. Monitoring research trends aids researchers, institutions, and policymakers in allocating resources, fostering innovation, and staying competitive in rapidly changing scientific landscapes. The growing significance of underwater sensing technologies in various domains has propelled research endeavours aimed at understanding the characteristics of academic discourse in this field. In this work, we comprehensively analyzed the academic research topics related to underwater sensing technologies using advanced computational methodologies. Leveraging natural language processing, topic modelling, and weak signal detection techniques, and focusing on underwater sensing as the case technology, we dissect a large corpus of scholarly articles published between 2007 and 2021 to unveil underlying thematic patterns and emergent trends within this domain while shedding light on signals of emerging technologies. Among the eighty extracted topics, six research topics were identified and recognized as emerging weak signals, and validated by experts. Notably, deep learning for underwater imaging was the only topic that transitioned from being weak to a strong signal in the final period.

Rice is one of the major cereal crops in several Asian countries. It contains a variety of nutrients and provides valuable health benefits. The antidiabetic activity of rice combined with cereals has not been studied. Therefore, the present study was carried out to determine and compare the effects of extracts from Black rice (BRE), Pathum rice (PTRE), Black rice combined with cereals (BRCE), and Pathum rice combined with cereals (PTRCE) on body weight, blood glucose levels, serum insulin levels and blood chemistry of Streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. The results revealed that BRCE exhibited the highest activity in reducing fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels and increasing serum insulin levels, and also recovered the lipid profiles, renal function and hepatic function resulting from STZ in the diabetic rats, followed by BRE, PTRCE and PTRE, respectively. Also, BRCE exhibited an activity with similar potential to Glibenclamide. The findings indicate that the rice extracts possess antidiabetic activity which exerts the activity by increasing serum insulin resulting in reduction of blood glucose. Rice combined with cereals provides better antidiabetic activity and could be a source of valuable antidiabetic materials.
HIGHLIGHTS

Extracts from Black rice and Pathum Thani fragrant rice exhibit antidiabetic activity in Streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.
Antidiabetic activity of the extracts from Black rice and Pathum Thani fragrant rice is due to an increase in insulin secretion.
Black rice exhibits antidiabetic activity higher than Pathum Thani fragrant rice.
Combination with cereals could enhance the antidiabetic activity of rice.
The extracts from Black rice and Pathum Thani fragrant rice may be useful for the management of diabetes mellitus.

Art, Industry, and Women’s Education in Philadelphia
Authors: Walls Nina de Angeli 
Published: October 2024

Separate education for American women in the arts began in the mid-19th century as an innovative vehicle for middle-class women to move into a new and genteel profession. The 20th century evolution of the Philadelphia School of Design for Women, lone survivor as an autonomous school of many similar institutions founded at the same time, presents an unusually well-documented case study of meeting the changing needs of women students.
The first American institutions devoted to women’s professional art education, design schools appeared in industrial northeastern cities in the 1850s, modeled on Philadelphia’s pioneering School of Design for Women, which opened in 1848. Sponsored by business leaders and philanthropists, design schools gave women unprecedented access to craft skills, and eventually helped professionalize the work of women as art teachers and practicing artists. Separate education in the arts constituted an innovative vehicle for expanding Victorian-era middle-class gender prescriptions into new professional opportunities. Through the 20th century, the Philadelphia School of Design and its successor, Moore College of Art, survived as the nation's only autonomous women’s art college, offering new educational options for women.

Financing Fertility
Authors: Seaman Amanda C. 
Published: October 2024

This article explore works by five authors who deal with the financial costs of trying to get pregnant, being pregnant and giving birth in Japan today. It explores new reproductive technologies and the problems when people other than married women try to access them. The underlying message is that if a woman wants to try something her own way then there are steep costs associated with it and perhaps, by alleviating these costs, this could contribute to increasing the birthrate.
