Published: June 2024

Background: The overarching term sleep-related breathing disorders is utilized to collect the various conditions in which a person experiences an aberration of respiration entirely or in part, during sleep.
Aim of the work: The aim of this work was to estimate the prevalence of sleep disordered breathing among professional drivers in Damietta Governorate.
Methods: This research included two parts: First part was descriptive longitudinal study contained two phases: Phase- I: diagnosis of the symptomatized patients as SDB patients and Phase-II: treatment and follow up of the diagnosed patients. Second part: cross sectional study. Phase-I: 110 male commercial drivers with license belong to Damietta Governorate Traffic Unit who were self-referred or referred by a physician to SDB Unit Clinic with symptoms suggesting sleep disordered breathing. Phase-II: The diagnosed drivers with SDB 100 from 110 drivers were offered treatment options according to clinical practice guidelines. This second part of the study included 510 male commercial drivers.
Results: Multivarivate analysis of statistically significant predictors of OHS in bivariate analysis and we found three independent predictors (with percentage for accuracy of this model= 99%): AHI (OR=2.3), sleep efficiency (OR=0.98) and arousal index (OR= 1.89). where each unit increase in both AHI, sleep efficiency results in increase in the risk of OHS by 2.3 and 0.98 respectively. Each unit increase in arousal index decrease the risk of OHS (1.89). there was a higher percentage of accidents in the group of OHS in comparison to OSA group and this difference was statistically significant (p≤0.001).
Conclusions: High prevalence of SDB among commercial drivers in Dameitta governorate. Neck circumference (≥ 38.5) is the most useful independent predictor for SDB and cut of point of AHI and arousal index are the most useful independent predictors of OHS. Higher prevalence of accidents and near accidents in those with SDB versus those without SDB and more prevalent in OHS vs OSA.

O início do cumprimento da pena na visão do Supremo Tribunal Federal brasileiro desde a promulgação da Constituição de 1988- comparação com outros países- violação do princípio da segurança jurídica
Authors: Arruda Eloisa de Sousa , Balzano Giancarlo de Mendonça 
Published: June 2024

O presente artigo se propõe a analisar as modificações de posicionamento do Supremo Tribunal Federal do Brasil sobre o momento para início de cumprimento de pena privativa de liberdade imposta ao réu por sentença penal condenatória criminal. A título de comparação, o artigo aponta como alguns países se posicionam a respeito do tema, concluindo-se por uma tendência no sentido de conferir eficácia às sentenças judiciais condenatórias não definitivas. Verifica-se que o Brasil, hoje, se diferencia das grandes nações democráticas do mundo, vigorando o entendimento de que o cumprimento de sentença penal, que impõe pena corporal ao acusado, só pode ter início após a formação de coisa julgada. O artigo analisa ainda, como as mudanças de entendimento da mais alta corte do Brasil, afetam direitos fundamentais constitucionais, especialmente o da segurança jurídica, que se alicerça na estabilidade do ordenamento jurídico e na previsibilidade das decisões judiciais. Isso é o que garante aos indivíduos o conhecimento suficiente para realizar atos em sociedade, cientes das consequências jurídicas que suas práticas possam gerar.

Resultados e Discussão: Indicam que a maioria dos pacientes apresenta dor abdominal progressiva, náuseas, distensão e constipação, com vômito ocorrendo alguns dias após o início dos sintomas. O exame físico geralmente revela abdômen distendido e timpânico. A descompressão endoscópica é uma abordagem inicial eficaz para muitos pacientes, permitindo a conversão de cirurgias de emergência em procedimentos menos urgentes. No entanto, a ressecção cirúrgica é recomendada para prevenir recorrências, com a escolha da técnica cirúrgica sendo individualizada com base na condição clínica do paciente. Técnicas cirúrgicas não resseccionais e métodos endoscópicos avançados têm papel limitado e são indicados para casos específicos. Conclusão: O manejo adequado do volvo de sigmoide é essencial para evitar complicações graves e melhorar os desfechos clínicos. Este artigo reforça a importância de um diagnóstico rápido e de intervenções terapêuticas apropriadas para otimizar o tratamento e reduzir a mortalidade associada a esta condição.
Cotton Growth, Yield, and Fiber Quality Response to Irrigation and Water Deficit in Soil of Varying Depth to a Sand Layer
Authors: Wiggins Matthew , Leib Brian , Mueller Thomas , Main Christopher 
Published: June 2024

Research was conducted in 2010 and 2011 at the West Tennessee Research and Education Center in Jackson, TN to investigate irrigation response in cotton. The objective of this study was to evaluate plant response to four different irrigation regimes by using main-stem node counts, quantification of canopy light interception, and canopy temperature, while making comparisons across two soils that vary in depth to a sandy layer. PHY 375 WRF cottonseed was planted in a no-tillage system in 9-m rows on 97-cm spacing with 10.5-12 seed m-1 of row. Irrigation was applied from drip tape lying in the row furrow at rates of 0, 1.27, 2.54, and 3.81 cm week-1. Comparisons were made across deep soils (no sand layer within the top 89 centimeters of soil) and shallow soils (sand layer within the top 61 centimeters of soil). Plant height, number of nodes, nodes above white flower (NAWF), canopy light interception, and canopy temperature were monitored during the blooming period of the crop each year to determine differences in irrigation response. Cotton plants grown in deep soils had higher vegetative biomass, total number of nodes, plant height, light interception, fiber quality, yield, and reduced canopy temperature compared to plants grown in the shallow soil. Similarly, irrigation increased cotton plant vegetative biomass, total number of nodes, plant height, light interception, fiber quality, yield, and reduced canopy temperature compared to dryland cotton. Results from this trial indicate that differences in physiological growth patterns, canopy density, canopy temperature, lint yield, and fiber quality are evident when compared across irrigation amounts and soil depths.
Halyomorpha halys (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) Feeding Injury on Cotton Bolls
Authors: Kamminga Katherine , Herbert Ames , Toews Michael , Malone Sean , Kuhar Thomas 
Published: June 2024

The invasive brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys (Stål), is rapidly spreading from the mid-Atlantic region southward into cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) producing areas of the U.S. Stink bugs are one of the most economically damaging insect pests of cotton and feeding by stink bugs on cotton bolls can result in a reduction of lint yield and quality at harvest. Field cage studies were conducted in Virginia to determine if boll size influenced H. halys adult and nymphal feeding behavior. In 2011 and 2012, no-choice feeding experiments were conducted with three boll sizes (1.8, 2.8, and 3.2 cm diameter). The 2011 no-choice experiment also included the adult life stage of the native green stink bug, Chinavia hilaris (Say). In addition to the experiments with adults, two feeding choice experiments were conducted during 2012 with H. halys nymphs. The insects were placed into cages enclosing entire cotton plants with different boll sizes. Results of the no-choice experiment from 2011 indicated that feeding injury caused by C. hilaris was not significantly different among the different boll sizes offered, whereas injury by H. halys increased as boll size increased. Results from the choice experiment also revealed increasing feeding damage by H. halys as boll size increased. These data indicate that the addition of H. halys to the current stink bug complex in cotton might warrant a reevaluation of the current field scouting methods and management recommendations that show that large cotton bolls (> 3.2 cm diameter) are safe from stink bug feeding injury.

Authors: Buser Michael , Whitelock Derek , Boykin Clif , Holt Gregory 
Published: June 2024

This report is part of a project to characterize cotton gin emissions from the standpoint of stack sampling. The impetus behind this project was the urgent need to collect additional cotton gin emissions data to address current regulatory issues. A key component of this study was focused on EPA emission factors for particulate matter with a particle diameter nominally less than or equal to 10 µm (PM10). The 1996 EPA AP-42 emission factors were assigned quality ratings, from A (Excellent) to E (Poor), to assess the quality of the data being referenced. Emission factor quality ratings for cotton gins were extremely low. Cotton gin data received these low ratings because they were collected almost exclusively from a single geographical region. The objective of this study was to collect additional PM10 emission factor data for battery condenser systems at cotton gins located in regions across the cotton belt based on EPA-approved stack sampling methodology, Method 201A. The project plan included sampling seven cotton gins across the cotton belt. Key factors for selecting specific cotton gins included: 1) facility location, 2) production capacity, 3) processing systems and 4) abatement technologies. Six of the seven gins were equipped with battery condensers with cyclones on the system exhausts. In terms of capacity, the six gins were typical of the industry, averaging 31.6 bales/h during testing. The battery condenser system average emission factors for PM10 and total particulate were 0.017 kg/227-kg bale (0.036 lb/500-lb bale) and 0.034 kg/bale (0.075 lb/bale), respectively. System average PM10 and total particulate emission factors were higher than those currently published in EPA AP-42. The battery condenser system PM10 emission rate test averages ranged from 0.17 to 1.16 kg/h (0.37-2.57 lb/h). The ratio of battery condenser system PM10 to total particulate was 48.3%.

The project plan included sampling seven cotton gins across the cotton belt. Key factors for selecting specific cotton gins included: 1) facility location, 2) production capacity, 3) processing systems and 4) abatement technologies. Three of the seven gins had 1st and 2nd stage lint cleaning systems where the exhaust airstreams were combined. In terms of capacity, the three gins were typical of the industry, averaging 28.0 bales/h during testing. Some test runs, included in the analyses, had cotton lint fibers that collected in the ≤ 10 µm samples. This larger lint material can affect the reported emissions data, but EPA Method 201A does not suggest methods to account for these anomalies. The combined lint cleaning system average emission factors for PM10 and total particulate were 0.150 kg/227-kg bale (0.332 lb/500-lb bale) and 0.293 kg/bale (0.647 lb/bale), respectively. System average PM10 and total particulate emission factors were higher than those currently published in EPA AP-42. The combined lint cleaning system PM10 emission rate test averages ranged from 1.62 to 5.19 kg/h (3.56-11.45 lb/h). The ratio of combined lint cleaning system PM10 to total particulate was 51.3%.

Authors: Joshi Promod , Joshi Reeta 
Published: June 2024

The current investigation was conducted between January and December of 2022. During the study period water quality was studied in Baur reservoirs two spot, one spot is a barrage area, and the second one is four kilometers away from the first one. The present study is done in Baur Reservoir, which is switched to Gularbhoj in Udham Singh district. Reservoir water is used for irrigation and domestic purposes. Many villages are located near the reservoir, so due to human interaction, water quality may be affected. For this reason, the present study finds parameters of water so we can identify the present water quality status, as we know many similar work done all over India but in this study we find present condition which may be change from past condition and as we know climatic condition are change now days so we can find rainfall in every month and other parameters of reservoir. Various quality parameters are measured, including PH, water temperature, DO, CO2, total alkalinity, total solid, turbidity, total suspended solids and total dissolved solids. All the parameters are within the permissible limit and suitable for domestic use, pisciculture, and agriculture. Water quality parameters have been observed to vary and, with the exception of temperature, all show a positive correlation with the production of phytoplankton and zooplankton in the chosen reservoirs. These parameters include temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, carbon dioxide, and total dissolved solids. The temperature varies from 240c+ 60c, the pH varies from 7.0 + 2, the dissolved oxygen range varies from 7+ 3, range of carbon dioxide varies from 6+ 5, the humidity range is 50+25, and rainfall throughout varying the all study period. All the physico-chemical parameters are the relation to plankton diversity. In this study, we also find plankton diversity status in Baur reservoir. Plankton diversity can also help to find out the water quality; healthy plankton growth may relate to water quality as well as fish diversity. In the following study, we find the groups Copepoda, Clyadocera, and Rotifera, each containing 6, 6 and 2 respectively. The groups Bacillariophyceae and Chlorophycae each contain 29 and 23, respectively, phytoplankton taxa. The study looked at the association between group variation in physico-chemical parameters for the Cyanophyceae, Dinophyceae, and Euglenophyceae. With the help of this study, we can find the pollutant status and water quality level in the Baur reservoir. All the water quality parameters are under safety level and are good for irrigation purposes and for domestic use. They can filtrate, and may relevant department may take action for tourist activity that causes pollution in reservoir water.

BACKGROUND
Acute necrotizing pancreatitis is a severe and life-threatening condition. It poses a considerable challenge for clinicians due to its complex nature and the high risk of complications. Several minimally invasive and open necrosectomy procedures have been developed. Despite advancements in treatment modalities, the optimal timing to perform necrosectomy lacks consensus.
AIM
To evaluate the impact of necrosectomy timing on patients with pancreatic necrosis in the United States.
METHODS
A national retrospective cohort study was conducted using the 2016-2019 Nationwide Readmissions Database. Patients with non-elective admissions for pancreatic necrosis were identified. The participants were divided into two groups based on the necrosectomy timing: The early group received intervention within 48 hours, whereas the delayed group underwent the procedure after 48 hours. The various intervention techniques included endoscopic, percutaneous, or surgical necrosectomy. The major outcomes of interest were 30-day readmission rates, healthcare utilization, and inpatient mortality.
RESULTS
A total of 1309 patients with pancreatic necrosis were included. After propensity score matching, 349 cases treated with early necrosectomy were matched to 375 controls who received delayed intervention. The early cohort had a 30-day readmission rate of 8.6% compared to 4.8% in the delayed cohort (P = 0.040). Early necrosectomy had lower rates of mechanical ventilation (2.9% vs 10.9%, P < 0.001), septic shock (8% vs 19.5%, P < 0.001), and in-hospital mortality (1.1% vs 4.3%, P = 0.01). Patients in the early intervention group incurred lower healthcare costs, with median total charges of $52202 compared to $147418 in the delayed group. Participants in the early cohort also had a relatively shorter median length of stay (6 vs 16 days, P < 0.001). The timing of necrosectomy did not significantly influence the risk of 30-day readmission, with a hazard ratio of 0.56 (95% confidence interval: 0.31-1.02, P = 0.06).
CONCLUSION
Our findings show that early necrosectomy is associated with better clinical outcomes and lower healthcare costs. Delayed intervention does not significantly alter the risk of 30-day readmission.
