Published: August 2024

Wolcott-Rallison syndrome (WRS) is a rare autosomal recessive, neonatal or infancy onset disease that is non-autoimmune insulin-dependent diabetes and is associated with skeletal dysplasia and liver failure. It results in the death of the patient, mainly due to multi-organ failure. Less than 60 cases have been described in the literature so far. Here, we present a very rare case of WRS, which was diagnosed by genetic testing for EIF2AK3 mutations with typical findings of the disease, except skeletal dysplasia, which eventually died due to multi-organ failure. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of WRS in Pakistan.

Climatic Effects of Ocean Salinity on M Dwarf Exoplanets
Authors: Batra Kyle , Olson Stephanie L. 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Ocean salinity is known to dramatically affect the climates of Earth-like planets orbiting Sun-like stars, with high salinity leading to less ice and higher surface temperature. However, how ocean composition impacts climate under different conditions, such as around different types of stars or at different positions within the habitable zone, has not been investigated. We used ROCKE-3D, an ocean-atmosphere general circulation model, to simulate how planetary climate responds to ocean salinities for planets with G-star versus M dwarf hosts at several stellar fluxes. We find that increasing ocean salinity from 20 to 100 g kg−1 in our model results in nonlinear ice reduction and warming on G-star planets, sometimes causing abrupt transitions to different climate states. Conversely, sea ice on M dwarf planets responds more gradually and linearly to increasing salinity. Moreover, reductions in sea ice on M dwarf planets are not accompanied by significant surface warming as on G-star planets. High salinity can modestly bolster the resilience of M dwarf planets against snowball glaciation and allow these planets to retain surface liquid water further from their host star, but the effects are muted compared to G-star planets that experience snowball bifurcation and climate hysteresis due to the ice-albedo feedback.

Abstract
Intestinal microbiota and selected strains of commensal bacteria influence regulatory T (Treg) cell functionality in the colon. Nevertheless, whether and how microbiota changes the transcriptome profile and TCR specificities of colonic Tregs remain to be precisely defined. In this study, we have employed single-cell RNA sequencing and comparatively analyzed colonic Tregs from specific pathogen-free and germ-free (GF) mice. We found that microbiota shifts the activation trajectory of colonic Tregs toward a distinct phenotypic subset enriched in specific pathogen-free but not in GF mice. Moreover, microbiota induced the expansion of specific Treg clonotypes with shared transcriptional specificities. The microbiota-induced subset of colonic Tregs, identified as PD-1− CXCR3+ Tregs, displayed enhanced suppressive capabilities compared with colonic Tregs derived from GF mice, enhanced production of IL-10, and were the primary regulators of enteric inflammation in dextran sodium sulfate–induced colitis. These findings identify a hitherto unknown gut microbiota and immune cell interaction module that could contribute to the development of a therapeutic modality for intestinal inflammatory diseases.

Abstract

Introduction:
Diabetes mellitus with hyperglycaemia is a chronic metabolic disorder. The endocrinal function of the pancreas is altered in diabetes mellitus. There is a close anatomic and functional relationship between the exocrine and endocrine portions of the pancreas. The current study was conducted to evaluate the blood glucose and serum amylase levels in type 2 diabetic patients as they represent the two functional aspects of the gland. The aim of the study was to determine the serum amylase and serum lipase in type 2 diabetic patients and to compare and correlate these parameters with those of age- and sex-matched healthy controls.

Methodology:
Already diagnosed 300 type 2 diabetes mellitus patients have been included in our study as cases and 50 healthy individuals attending the outpatient department have been included as controls. Fasting venous samples have been collected from cases and controls and analysed for blood glucose, lipid profile, renal function test, liver function test, serum amylase and lipase. The results were analysed using Student’s t-test and correlation coefficient.

Results:
Low levels of serum amylase were observed in type 2 diabetic patients and the values were statistically significant with P < 0.005. The levels of total cholesterol, triglyceride and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were compared among both the groups and values were significantly higher in cases compared to the controls with P < 0.05, <0.001 and <0.05, respectively. The high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels were found to be lower in cases with the P < 0.001.

Conclusion:
In our study, it was observed that, as the blood glucose levels are higher in type 2 diabetic patients, the serum amylase levels were lower significantly. There was a positive correlation between the HDL and serum amylase values, which signifies the role of amylase as an additional and surrogate biomarker for monitoring cardiometabolic status.

Published: August 2024

Introdução: A eletroconvulsoterapia (ECT) basea-se em induzir convulsões para promover bem estar mental, e é usada desde 1990 para o tratamento de diversos transtorno psiquiátricos, mais comumente os episódios de depressão grave. Apesar de ser um dos mais eficazes tratamentos, permanece sendo um dos mais estigmatizados, resultando em pouca oferta e prescrições de um tratamento que salva vidas. Materiais, sujeitos e métodos: Para a elaboração deste artigo de revisão foram consultados artigos científicos e artigos de revisão publicados e referenciados na Medline/PubMED, SciELO e Cochrane entre os anos de 2000 e 2024. Resultados e discussão: As revisões demonstram que a prática da ECT conta com algumas questões não tão bem esclarecidas, sendo preciso estabelecer protocolos para sua execução tanto técnicas quanto na elegibilidade dos pacientes, para que os grandes benefícios desse tratamento chegue a quem realmente se beneficiaria com ele, com embasamento científico adequado. Considerações finais: Para diminuir a insegurança dos profissionais na utilização desse tratamento e os efeitos colaterais do mesmo, são necessário estabelecer protocolos nos serviços.

Authors: Ndubuisi Okoh , Aruoren Emmanuel Ejiroghene 
Published: August 2024

This study investigated the influence of workplace flexibility on the satisfaction of employees in selected Local Government Areas in Delta State of Nigeria. The study employed the social exchange theory and identified two workplace flexibility dimensions (compressed work-weeks and job-sharing) so as to see their influence on employees’ satisfaction. The survey design was used and one hundred and eighty (180) questionnaires were administered on employees of eight (8) local government areas’ headquarters in Delta State, Nigeria. The analysis of data entailed descriptive statistics (frequency counts, simple percentages, mean, standard deviation, minimum, maximum values and Pearson correlation); diagnostic statistics (variance inflation factor and Breusch-Pagan and Cook-Weisberg) and inferential statistics (simple regression). The simple regression results revealed that workplace flexibility dimensions of job-sharing (F-value = 9.44; p-value = 0.0000) and compressed work-weeks (F-value = 14.01; p-value = 0.0000) had significant positive influence on the satisfaction of employees. On the basis of the findings, it was recommended that management of local government areas should strive towards ensuring increased flexibility in the workplace; this can be realized by making sure that employees are accorded decreased work-weeks while at the same time, job role among the workforce should be adequately jointly or collective done.
