Published: October 2024

Se reportan las mariposas de la tribu Haeterini presentes en la Colección de Entomología del Museo de Historia Natural de la Universidad del Cauca. Fueron revisados 163 especímenes, pertenecientes a seis géneros, 16 especies y 22 subespecies. El género Pierella Herrich-Schäffer, 1865 presentó la mayor riqueza con ocho especies y 12 subespecies. Las especies con mayor abundancia fueron Paradulcedo mimica (35), Pierella lamia chalybaea (22) y Pierella lena brasiliensis (19), mientras que Pierella astyoche stollei, Pierella hortona albofasciata, Pierella lena salma y Pierella hyalinus hyalinus solo presentaron un ejemplar cada una. Con base en los datos de las fichas de campo, se realizaron análisis descriptivos sobre la distribución altitudinal, que permitió apreciar que la tribu Haeterini tiene una clara distribución en zonas bajas, con especies colectadas por debajo de los 1.500 msnm, excepto Pseudohaetera hypaesia y P. mimica que están por encima de los 1.700 msnm, y que se han reportado como las especies de este grupo que vuelan a mayor altitud. Se presenta un mapa con la distribución geográfica y dos planchas fotográficas, una con las especies reportadas y otra con las genitalias masculinas disponibles.
Gadorthomus barrancoi gen. et sp. nov. (Coleoptera, Carabidae, Pterostichini) de la península ibérica, y contextualización taxonómica entre las especies de Euchroina del Viejo Mundo
Authors: Ortuño Vicente M. 
Published: October 2024

Se estudia una serie de Carabidae con aspecto de Orthomus Chaudoir, 1838, colectados en el Medio Subterráneo Superficial (MSS) de la sierra de Gádor (Almería, España). El estudio comparativo de la genitalia masculina y de otros rasgos anatómicos confirma que es una nueva especie y, también, un nuevo género. Se describen ambos taxones y se ubican en la línea filética de los Euchroina próximos a Orthomus, pero combinando caracteres típicos de varios géneros. La pilosidad dorsal de los tarsos es compartida con algunos géneros macaronésicos (Eutrichopus Tschitschérine, 1897; Wolltinerfia Machado, 1985; Gietopus Machado, 1992) y del norte de África (Trichopedius Bedel, 1899). La presencia regular de tres poros setígeros discales junto a la 3ª interestría, incluso cuatro poros, es un rasgo compartido con el género monoespecífico de Yemen Parorthomus Guéorguiev, Wrase & Farkač, 2014. La presencia de estriola escutelar bien desarrollada también es compartida con Parorthomus y con Orthomus, Nesorthomus Bedel, 1899 y Abacillodes Straneo, 1988 (algo más corta en Abacillius Straneo, 1949), pero se distingue de los Euchroina paleárticos occidentales, con excepción de Orthomus tazekensis tazekensis (Antoine, 1941), por no tener poro setígero escutelar. La combinación de estos caracteres indica que no es posible ubicar la nueva especie entre los géneros conocidos.
A plea for vengeance in Psalm 35: 1-3 and its reflections in Africa (Yoruba) indigenous churches
Authors: Awojobi Peter O. 
Published: October 2024

Psalm 35 is one of the most popular, widely read and used Psalm among the African indigenous churches (Yoruba) in Nigeria. This article investigates why and how Psalm 35 vv. 1-3 is used as a plea for vengeance among the Yoruba Christians in African indigenous churches in Nigeria. The article explores how the plea for vengeance is understood and expressed in the African traditional context. African biblical hermeneutics with the view of providing a useful lens to reread biblical text in African context was adopted for the study. It was discovered that as early as the 3rd-century Christian era, the book of Psalms was used in the liturgy of the church. The notion of vengeance as found in Psalm 35 vv. 1-3 is a recurrent theme in African indigenous churches in Nigeria. This Psalm is used among the Yoruba Christians in African indigenous churches as a plea for divine intervention against their enemies. Through a synthesis of biblical and traditional African sources, this article demonstrates how the plea for vengeance is expressed in the cultural practices and beliefs of African indigenous churches. The plea for vengeance in this Psalm is a reflection of African indigenous churches’ understanding of key social issues such as justice, relationships between individuals and groups, and the need to maintain social integrity. Psalm 35 is usually read, sung, memorised, inscribed on parchment, and chanted by African christians and non-christians as expression of faith in God to intervene in the issues confronting them as he did for the Psalmist.Intradisciplinary and/or interdisciplinary implications: The Yoruba Christian readers of Psalm 35vv. 1-3 appeal to God for intervention against their enemies. The article emphasises that Christians should not take laws into their hands but trust in God for justice.

ABSTRACT.
An assessment of the treatment outcomes of single-dose liposomal amphotericin B, implemented in 2010, had not been conducted until this study. This prospective cross-sectional study encompassed 527 cases, comprising 470 (89%) cases of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) and 57 (11%) cases of post–kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis (PKDL). The male proportion was higher (55% for VL), and the mean (±SD) age was 39.2 (±33.9) years. Among VL cases (426) treated with single-dose liposomal amphotericin B, 402 cases were cured at the 6-month follow-up, resulting in a cure rate of 95%, whereas fewer than 1% (0.9%) experienced unsuccessful outcomes and 4.1% faced relapse. A statistically highly significant difference in treatment outcomes (successful versus unsuccessful) was observed between males and females (P = 0.0005). Males had higher odds of successful outcomes compared with females, with an odds ratio of 5.03 (95% CI: 1.84–13.74). Those aged ≤23 years had higher odds of successful outcomes than unsuccessful outcomes, with an odds ratio of 6.82 (95% CI: 2.29–20.33). Patients with PKDL had a mean (±SD) age of 28.5 (±10.6) years, with 63% being male. Among the 57 PKDL cases, 21 (37%) had been treated with single-dose liposomal amphotericin B, whereas others had received alternative drugs. The median duration of PKDL development for single-dose liposomal amphotericin B was significantly shorter (14.5 months), with a statistically significant difference (P <0.001) compared with other drugs. The current treatment strategy necessitates continuous close monitoring and reviews to ensure consistent and improved outcomes.

Published: October 2024

Objective: To compare the effects of 50mW green and blue laser pointers on retinal tissue with different exposure durations.
Method: The experimental, histopathological study was conducted from November 2021 to April 2022 at the Postgraduate Laboratory of the Department of Physiology and Medical Physics, College of Medicine, Mustansiriyah University, Iraq, and comprised adult male mice. They were divided into green group G and blue group B. Group G was exposed to a 50mW green laser pointer with wavelength 532nm, while group B was exposed to a blue laser pointer with wavelength 415nm. The groups were subdivided with respect to duration of exposure. Subgroups G1 and B1 had exposure time 1min, G2 and B2 had exposure time 2min and G3 and B3 had exposure time 3min. Across the groups, the overall supplied power density was 130mW/cm2. Conventional Haemotoxylin and Eosin stain was used to assess the damage on the retinal tissues of the mice post-exposure. Data was analysed using SPSS 24.
Results: Of the 24 groups, 12(50%) were in each of the 2 groups, while each subgroup had 4(16.66%) mice. There was more retinal tissue damage in group G compared to group B (p<0.05). The damage increased significantly with increase in exposure duration in both groups (p<0.05).
Conclusion: The traditional green laser pointers caused more damage to the retina of mice than the blue laser.

Authors: Doha Mohammed  , Ali Mohammed Al-Gareeb  
Published: October 2024

Objective: To assess the effect of pretreatment with omega-3 alone or in combination with vitamin C on hepatotoxicity raised by methotrexate.
Method: The experimental study was conducted at the animal house of the Iraqi Centre of Cancer Research and Medical Genetics and the Department of Pharmacology, College of Medicine, Al-Mustansiriyah University, Baghdad, Iraq, from November 2020 to July 2021, and comprised Swiss albino mice who were divided into 5 groups. Group A was treated with normal saline, group B was injected with methotrexate 20mg/kg intraperitoneally, group C was pretreated with omega 3 100mg/kg, group D was pretreated with vitamin C 100mg/kg, and group E was pretreated with concomitant vitamin C and omega 3 100mg/kg. The intervention lasted 9 days in each group, and were injected with methotrexate on day 10. The mice were sacrificed under chloroform anaesthesia after 48 hours. Blood sample was taken for biochemical examination. One part of liver was preserved in formalin 10% for histopathological study.
Results: Of the 35 mice, there were 7(20%) in each of the 5 groups. There was a significant increase in malondialdehyde and lactate dehydrogenase levels and a decrease in the superoxide dismutase and glutathione (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Pretreatment with omega-3 and vitamin C ameliorated the hepatotoxicity induced by methotrexate due to strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic effects.
