Published: July 2024

Durante o período de março de 2022 a abril de 2023, foi conduzido um estudo no IF Baiano Campus Santa Inês com o intuito de documentar e avaliar o perigo associado à frequência de serpentes na instituição. Ao longo desse período, foram registradas 82 aparições de serpentes. Em 55 casos foram capturadas imagens, o que permitiu a identificação de 51 delas por suas características morfológicas. Os gêneros mais comuns foram Crotalus, Bothrops e Philodryas. Essas serpentes foram avistadas em diferentes locais do campus, destacando-se 16,36% delas em salas dos cursos técnicos, 16,36% nos setores de criação animal e suas adjacências, 14,55% nas áreas próximas e na seção de horticultura, e outras porcentagens em espaços como a biblioteca, pavilhão de aulas dos cursos superiores, portaria, prédio administrativo, residências dos servidores, NAPNE e alojamentos dos alunos. Ao considerar a comunidade interna de 1.491 pessoas, entre prestadores de serviços e alunos, torna-se necessária a implementação de medidas preventivas. Nesse sentido, a inclusão de ações educativas, como palestras, oficinas e a distribuição de cartazes informativos sobre as espécies de serpentes presentes na instituição é vital. Essas medidas são essenciais para mitigar os riscos de acidentes, consoante com a legislação ambiental vigente.

Abstract
LHS 1140 b is the second-closest temperate transiting planet to Earth with an equilibrium temperature low enough to support surface liquid water. At 1.730 ± 0.025 R
⊕, LHS 1140 b falls within the radius valley separating H2-rich mini-Neptunes from rocky super-Earths. Recent mass and radius revisions indicate a bulk density significantly lower than expected for an Earth-like rocky interior, suggesting that LHS 1140 b could be either a mini-Neptune with a small envelope of hydrogen (∼0.1% by mass) or a water world (9%–19% water by mass). Atmospheric characterization through transmission spectroscopy can readily discern between these two scenarios. Here we present two JWST/NIRISS transit observations of LHS 1140 b, one of which captures a serendipitous transit of LHS 1140 c. The combined transmission spectrum of LHS 1140 b shows a telltale spectral signature of unocculted faculae (5.8σ), covering ∼20% of the visible stellar surface. Besides faculae, our spectral retrieval analysis reveals tentative evidence of residual spectral features, best fit by Rayleigh scattering from a N2-dominated atmosphere (2.3σ), irrespective of the consideration of atmospheric hazes. We also show through Global Climate Models (GCMs) that H2-rich atmospheres of various compositions (100×, 300×, 1000× solar metallicity) are ruled out to >10σ. The GCM calculations predict that water clouds form below the transit photosphere, limiting their impact on transmission data. Our observations suggest that LHS 1140 b is either airless or, more likely, surrounded by an atmosphere with a high mean molecular weight. Our tentative evidence of a N2-rich atmosphere provides strong motivation for future transmission spectroscopy observations of LHS 1140 b.
« Ne jamais profiter de l’élan acquis » : le renouveau de l’élan dans le style d’André Gide
Authors: Moll Marion 
Published: July 2024

Nous étudions ici l’« élan vital » qui traverse certaines œuvres de jeunesse d’André Gide (Le Voyage d’Urien, Les Nourritures terrestres, Paludes, El Hadj) à une époque où des contre-discours visant l’idée de décadence naissent en France. L’élan vital gidien n’est pas spéculatif. Il est thématisé et mimé dans une poétique de l’élan rompu et relancé qui marque ces œuvres au niveau stylistique et linguistique : syntaxe, ponctuation, progression thématique coopèrent pour obéir aux injonctions gidiennes de ne pas profiter de l’énergie accumulée mais de la réamorcer sans cesse, aboutissant au saugrenu ou au lyrisme.
Management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in Algeria and implementation of international recommendations
Authors: Keriou Faiza , Chaibi Souhir , Talbi Nedjma , Ketfi Abdelbassat 
Published: July 2024

Introduction
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common disease, yet it is often overlooked by the general public, patients themselves, and doctors due to its slow and insidious progression. Changing the natural history of COPD requires first of all the diagnosis of the disease, so its early detection seems an important element. It then becomes possible to set the objectives and criteria for the assessment of management and to choose the most appropriate treatments for each individual according to his characteristics.

Patients and methods
A prospective observational study in COPD patients who were hospitalized in the Department of Pneumology, University Hospital Center of Setif from January 2017 to March 2020 to analyze the quality of outpatient management of these patients.

Results
In all, 349 patients were included in the study of which 82.2% were men with an average age of 62 years. On admission, only 28.6% or 100 patients were diagnosed and confirmed to have COPD. The general practitioner received COPD patients first in more than 1/3 of cases (37.5%). Pneumologists received 34.6% of patients and diagnosed 99 cases out of 121 consultations, so the diagnosis was made in 81.8% of cases. Spirometry is essential for the diagnosis of COPD. It is simple, inexpensive, and safe; however, it was only performed for 100 patients or 28.6% of cases, confirming the sub-diagnosis of COPD in outpatients. In terms of therapeutic management, the differences between international recommendations and current practice are significant, particularly those concerning the prescription of inhaled or systemic corticosteroid therapy, as well as antibiotic therapy, without forgetting the underestimated therapies in these COPD patients, such as vaccinations (influenza vaccination rate at 27.2% of cases, pneumococcal at 8.26%), Long-term oxygen therapy, and the initiation of smoking cessation (4.1% of cases).

Conclusion
The publication of recommendations reviewed by experts enables updating the diagnostic management of COPD. We can hope that the recommendations will be followed up and that practices will be harmonized. However, differences between international recommendations and current practice are significant for COPD patients. Early diagnosis and effective therapeutic management of COPD remain, particularly current issues; they would reduce disability and improve the quality of life of the patient.

Authors: Mohamed Shaima saeed , Ahmed Mona Mansour , Ali Tamer Mohamed , Elkorashy Reem Ibrahim , Osman Ahmed Mohamed , Abd Elkader Maryam Aly , Kamel Sameh Nabil 
Published: July 2024

Purpose
Evaluate the utility of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging to estimate the principle hemodynamic parameters that are measured by right heart catheterization in a noninvasive manner i.e. mean pulmonary artery pressure, pulmonary vascular resistance and pulmonary artery wedge pressure through cardiac magnetic resonance based numerical models.

Materials and methods
29 pulmonary hypertension patients, fitting the inclusion criteria were randomly selected and included in the study. CMR Imaging and right side heart catheter (RHC) were performed within one month. 3 Cardiac MRI based models in literature that showed high accuracy were tested. Two equations for mPAP calculation; mPAP=-231.423 + 53.8(loge inter-ventricular septal angle)+log10(right ventricular mass divided by left ventricular mass) i.e ventricular mass index X 8.708+area of pulmonary artery in diastole X 0.009 and mPAP = –4.6+(0.32*septal angle)+(ventricular mass index × 16.3). One equation for PAWP; PAWP = left atrial volume index +6.43 × 0.22.

Results
The Altman and Bland correlation between mPAP invasively measured and CMR-estimated mPAP had good correlation with r= 0.594 and r=0.599 (P<0.001) for CMR based mPAP model 1 and 2, respectively. The calculated mean bias between the RHC-derived and CMR-estimated mPAP was 7.9 (agreement interval -24.8 to 40.6 mm Hg) and mean bias -3 (agreement interval -34.8 to 28.2 mm Hg) for CMR based mPAP model 1 and 2, respectively. There was no correlation between invasively measured and CMR-estimated PAWP with (P =0.092) for CMR based PAWP model. The mean bias between the RHC-derived and CMR-estimated PAWP was 2.4 (agreement interval –13.5 to 18.2 mm Hg). The correlation between invasively calculated and CMR-estimated PVR had good correlation with r=0.703 and r=0.704 (P<0.001) for CMR based PVR model 1 and 2, respectively. The mean bias between the RHC-measured and CMR-estimated mPAP was 0.6 (agreement interval -11.6 to 12.8 mm Hg) and mean bias -1.3 (agreement interval -12.1 to 9.5 mm Hg) for CMR based mPAP model 1 and 2, respectively.

Conclusion
Our results showed good correlations between CMR findings and RHC as regard mPAP and PVR. Thus, estimation of mPAP, PAWP and PVR non-invasively using CMR is feasible but needs further studies to improve accuracy.
Inoculation of pleural fluid in blood culture bottles could be a routine practice in pleural infection
Authors: Amer Ahmed M. , Gad Maha A. , El Akhal Azza A. 
Published: July 2024

Background
Worldwide, pleural infections are becoming more common. Overuse of empirical antibiotics has been linked to longer hospital stays and higher death rates, causing the emergence of antibiotic-resistant pathogens. So, proper care requires the identification of the pathogenic bacteria using pleural fluid culture. In addition to normal culture, pleural fluid inoculation in blood culture bottles enhances the proportion of patients with detectable infections in less time.

Aim
To assess whether inoculating pleural fluid into a blood culture bottle will increase the yield of isolated pathogens compared to routine culture techniques in evaluating pleural infection. Also, to compare the time of pathogen detection when comparing the detection by blood culture bottle versus the routine microbiological culture technique. Recognize the distribution of isolated bacteria from our center and their susceptibility profile to different antibiotics and predict the most effective empirical antibiotics.

Patients and methods
Cross-sectional analytical prospective study conducted at the Department of Pulmonology and Clinical Pathology in Cairo University Hospitals. It included 70 patients with infected pleural effusion. Under ultrasound supervision, pleural fluid was extracted and transported to the laboratory for routine microbiological culture. At the same time, an automated blood culture bottle was inoculated with 5–10 ml to be incubated. All the detected pathogens were identified and tested for antimicrobial susceptibility according to CLSI.

Results
The mean age of our patients was 47.1 ± 15.6 years. Empyema was documented in 16 (22.9%) of our patients, whereas 54 (77.1%) had exudative pleural effusion. Positive aerobic infection in blood culture bottle was seen in 37 patients, compared to 21 patients in direct pleural culture. A statistically significant difference was found between the culture positive rate in aerobic blood culture bottles and direct pleural culture (P=0.001).

Conclusion
Blood culture bottle inoculation of infected pleural fluid increases the sensitivity of microbial yield in a shorter time than standard culture.

Published: July 2024

Background

Acinetobacter baumannii become a growing problem in hospitals as a predominant multidrug-resistant (MDR). This resistance capacity is generated by various mechanisms including efflux pumps that can direct antibiotics outwards and prevent antibiotics from affecting the bacteria.

Methods
Clinical samples were cultured on blood agar and MacConkey agar medium, identified by Gram stain and biochemical reactions, and then identified to the species level by Vitek2 automated system. The adeA and adeS genes among isolated strains were detected by conventional PCR. This study included 50 A. baumannii strains to assess the antibiotic resistance pattern of A. baumannii.

Results
A. baumannii strains were fully resistant to Piperacillin (100%) and lowest resistance to Imipenem (54%) was observed. Out of 50 isolates, 41 (82%) of A. baumanii isolates had adeA gene and 32 (64%) had adeS gene. The clinical strains that had adeA gene and adeS gene showed significantly higher resistance to Ciprofloxacin (92.7%) and (100%), respectively. Additionally, borderline significant differences were reported regarding Gentamycin (P = 0.065), Ceftazidime (P = 0.08), and Meropenem (P = 0.08), with the resistance being higher in the adeA positive group.

Conclusion
Efflux pumps genes (adeA, adeS) played a key role in antibiotic resistance of A. baumanii.
A comparative evaluation of nano curcumin gel versus nano doxycycline gel in treatment of chronic periodontitis stage II grade B
Authors: Zakria Hala M. , El-Zefzaf Ebtesam A.-E. , El-Kemary Maged A.-E. , Mohamed Nivin N. , Ghouraba Rehab F. 
Published: July 2024

Purpose
Nanoparticles have many advantages as they have very small size and can penetrate extracellular and intracellular areas such as gingival fluid, bacterial cells, from the gingival sulcus to the underlying connective tissue and to the periodontal pocket areas below the gum line that may be inaccessible to other delivery systems. So, this study aimed to evaluate nano curcumin gel versus nano doxycycline gel in the treatment of periodontitis stage II grade B.

Patients and methods
This study was conducted on thirty sites among 22 patients with periodontitis stage II grade B. They were classified randomly into two treatment groups: Curcumin group (G1): consisting of 15 sites were treated by scaling and root planning (SRP) plus nano curcumin gel 2% and Doxycycline group (G2): consisting of 15 sites were treated by SRP plus nano doxycycline gel (20 mg/ml). Clinical evaluations including probing pocket depth (PPD), clinical attachment level (CAL) and bleeding on probing (BOP) were done before starting phase I therapy (zero time) 1 month after finishing phase I therapy (baseline), at 3 months and 6 months after baseline. Level of interleukin-6 (IL-6) was evaluated at zero time, 3 and 6 months after baseline.

Results
Intra group comparison of both groups showed a statistically significant reduction (P ≤ 0.05) regarding PD, CAL, and BOP from zero time to 6 months follow-up periods. Also, the level of IL-6 in GCF was reduced significantly up to 6 months (P ≤ 0.05). However, inter group comparison between the two studied groups was nonsignificant regarding to PD, CAL, BOP, and level of IL-6 (P > 0.05).

Conclusion
Both nanocurcumin gel 2% and nano doxycycline gel 20 mg significantly improved PD, CAL and BOP and reduce IL-6 level until 6 months when applied as adjunct to scaling and root planning. So, nano drugs gels (nanocurcumin gel and nano doxycycline gel) are considered useful new modalities in treatment of periodontitis.
Anticancer effect of combined cinnamon–saffron versus its nanoparticles on oral squamous cell carcinoma cell line
Authors: Hassan Posy H.A. , Elshamy Iman S. , Azmaa Nahed E.E. Abo 
Published: July 2024

Background
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), the eighth most common malignant neoplasia, often requires surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. However, cancer cells can become resistant, leading to the use of natural components in anticancer drugs.

Objectives
Evaluate the anticancer effect of combined cinnamon–saffron extract as compared to nanoform of this compound and doxorubicin on the cells of OSCC cell lines in relation to cell viability, migration and apoptotic efficiency.

Materials and methods
(SCC-25) OSCC cell lines were used. Scanning electron microscope was used to prepare and characterize the negative control group, cinnamon–saffron, nano cinnamon–saffron, and doxorubicin. The microculture tetrazolium assay viability assay was used to evaluate each study group that was examined, and the IC50 value was then determined. Cell cycle and apoptosis analysis in varied research groups were evaluated using flow cytometry and the IC50 dosages. Additionally, a wound-healing assay was used to assess the invasion and migration ability of the cells.

Results
When treated with cinnamon–saffron, nano cinnamon–saffron, and doxorubicin, the various experimental groups showed dose-dependent reductions in their % viability and IC50 values, which have potential effects against OSCC cell lines, according to our findings. It was discovered that treated cells exhibited cytotoxic, cell cycle arrest, apoptotic, and antimigratory effects as compared to untreated cells. Interestingly, the results of the present study when compared to the untreated group pointed out that, cinnamon–saffron, nano cinnamon–saffron, and doxorubicin reduced the viability of OSCC cells and increased the percentage of total apoptotic cells and necrotic cell death.

Conclusion
Nano cinnamon–saffron exerts potent cell cycle arrest, cytotoxic, and apoptotic effects on oral squamous carcinoma cell lines.
