Evaluación de los valores de glucosa y presión arterial sistólica en perros obesos
Authors: Castillo-Hidalgo Edy Paul , Gallardo-Arrieta Fanny , Zapata-Saavedra Matilde Lorena 
Published: June 2024

La obesidad en perros, presenta condiciones similares a los seres humanos, pudiendo provocar inflamación y elevación de la presión arterial, constituyéndose ambos en factores de riesgo para múltiples enfermedades. La ingesta excesiva de grasa afecta directamente la presión arterial y los altos niveles de grasa visceral pueden reducir el óxido nítrico intracelular, provocando vasoconstricción y alterando la presión arterial. Los perros obesos tienden a tener niveles elevados de glucosa e insulina, lo que indica disfunción metabólica y posibles alteraciones cardíacas y metabólicas. Este estudio analiza la glucosa y la presión arterial en 70 perros obesos, utilizando métodos de medición precisos y validados.

El análisis de la muestra mostró una correlación positiva débil pero significativa entre los niveles de glucosa y la presión arterial sistólica, sugiriendo una relación lineal entre ambos parámetros. Sin embargo, el sexo no se correlacionó significativamente con las variaciones en los niveles de glucosa o presión arterial, indicando que otros factores pueden ser más influyentes en estas variaciones. Los resultados sugieren que mientras hay una relación entre glucosa y presión arterial, el sexo no es un factor determinante en estas medidas en perros obesos.

Estos hallazgos destacan la importancia de considerar múltiples factores, como la edad y el nivel de actividad física, al evaluar la salud metabólica y cardiovascular en perros obesos, ya que la obesidad afecta a diversas funciones y sistemas del cuerpo de manera compleja y multifactorial.

Introduction: If we want to know about a country or a society we must know how the family lives and acts, if we want to foresee the future of a society we can know about them by observing the families and if we want to reflect on personal identity because we are one way and not another, because we act in this way or because we are oriented in a certain direction, most of these answers are found in the family history of each one of us.Objective: to describe the meaning attributed to the family by a group of older adults in Consolación del Sur during the year 2022. Method: a prospective descriptive study of longitudinal and interventional cut was carried out, from a universe of 82 older adults, a sample of 69 older adults was formed, selected by non-probabilistic sampling, who fulfilled the inclusion criteria, theoretical, empirical and descriptive statistical methods were used. Results: female sex predominated (69.5%), age group 60 to 69 years (47.8%), primary schooling (30.4%), occupation retired (62.3%) and marital status married (68.1%), in relation to the representation in their drawings about the ideal family what predominated were large families in family meetings (79.3%). Conclusions: The study allowed a reflective analysis on the role of the family, healthy aging and the experience of older adults as a fundamental part of the intergenerational exchange and their role within it

Heavy metal contamination in livestock poses significant risks to both animal and human health. This study evaluated the concentration of heavy metals in selected tissues and organs of slaughtered cattle in the vicinity of the new Abattoir in Gombe State. A total of 5 samples each were collected from various anatomical regions; the head, heart and liver of the slaughtered cattle and were analyzed for Cr, Cd and Pb. The samples were weighed and digested using a mixture of HCl and HNO3. The elemental analysis of the digested samples was carried out using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). The concentration (ppm) trend of heavy metals in the samples detected in the liver region was Cr > Pb > Cd whose mean concentrations were 0.41, 0.08 and 0.03 ppm respectively, Cr > Cd > Pb was observed in the heart region with sample concentrations 0.34, 0.02 and 0.01 ppm respectively, Cr > Cd > Pb was observed in the head region with sample concentrations 0.99, 0.03 and 0.01 ppm respectively. The results revealed that the area of study whose slaughtered cattle was subjected to assessment was not contaminated to a high extent when compared to the permissible limits set by the WHO and FAO.
Malaria Vaccines Targeting Pfs25 Antigen in Parasite Mosquito Stages to Block Transmission
Authors: Hartono  , Hanifah Rif’at , Yusuf Yenni 
Published: June 2024

Transmission of malaria involves Anopheles mosquitoes as the vectors of the Plasmodium parasite. The malaria eradication program includes the distribution of insecticide-treated bednets. However, the Anopheles mosquitoes have developed insecticide resistance hence it is necessary to find other modalities to eradicate the disease. Because the parasites undergo several stages in the mosquito midgut before developing into infective stages that migrate to the salivary gland, it is of interest to target the mosquito stages in vaccination to block the transmission. Human vaccination with the antigen of the mosquito stages may induce the production of specific antibodies against the stages that might be transferred into the mosquito during blood meal, binding with the antigen of the mosquito stages in the midgut and subsequently disrupting the development of the parasite. Such a vaccine is called a transmission-blocking vaccine (TBV). An effective TBV should induce a high titer of antibody for a long time. One of the leading antigens is Pfs25. Here, we review the update of TBV development targeting Pfs25, advances in the transmission-blocking assay, and challenges in the development of TBVs.

An Unsteady Flow Control Technology Based on Vortex Injection for Centrifugal Compressor
Authors: HONG Shuli , YANG Yuxuan , LU Weiyu 
Published: June 2024

The flow structures at the blade tip in a centrifugal compressor usually have an important impact on compressor performance, especially the TLV, which often plays a dominant role in its performance. In order to weaken TLV and improve compressor performance, an unsteady flow control method based on the concept of vortex injection is proposed. The numerical simulation shows that VID method can enlarge the stall margin of the compressor by 8.5%. Meanwhile, the total pressure ratio and efficiency of the compressor can be slightly improved from the design point to the stall point. The maximum efficiency increment and the maximum pressure ratio increment are 0.56% and 0.75%, respectively. A proof experiment on a micro centrifugal compressor shows that the VID can enlarge stall margin of 6.6% and the maximum relative pressure can increase by 2.6%. Therefore, both the simulation and experiment prove that the VID method is effective which utilizes both unsteady excitation and injection of negative circulation to weaken TLV. Finally, enhancing the efficiency of each unsteady jet/suction and separation flow interaction is highly recommended.

Published: June 2024

Background: The Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) has been recognized as a major and common sexually transmitted infection associated with various types of cancer in both men and women. More than 200 genotypes of HPVs were identified, each exhibiting distinct specificity for tissues and infection. In addition, the rate of HPV infection has gradually increased in both males and females. According to research conducted in Vietnam and around the world, men diagnosed with HPV infection may experience various complications, including those affecting the coronal sulcus, semen, as well as the scrotal, perianal, and anal regions. However, there is still limited research on HPV knowledge, especially among male students. In particular, there have been few studies conducted among male healthcare students in Vietnam. Objectives: To evaluate the knowledge of HP and to identify relevant factors influencing HPV knowledge among male students at the Faculty of Nursing and Medical Technology, Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy. Materials and Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 174 male students of the Faculty of Nursing and Medical Technology from July to September 2023 using convenience sampling methods. A self-administered anonymous questionnaire established by Susan Mary Sherman in English n and Tran Luong Xuan Phuoc in Vietnamese was used in this study to investigate the demographic information, and knowledge toward HPV. Results: Overall, 174 surveys were completed, representing a response rate of 94.57%. Among male students, 68.39% demonstrated a "good knowledge" of HPV. Academic year was identified as the main factor influencing HPV knowledge, with a significantly higher proportion of fourth-year male students exhibiting greater knowledge compared to other academic levels (p < 0.05). Conclusion: While the majority of male students demonstrated a high level of knowledge about HPV, there is still a need for strengthening health education and policies related to HPV knowledge.
New insights in the taxonomy of Lepismatidae (Insecta, Zygentoma) with an updated key to genera and future challenges
Authors: Molero-Baltanás Rafael , Gaju-Ricart Miquel , Smith Graeme B. 
Published: June 2024

This paper provides a revision of the morphological characters that can be used in the current taxonomy of Lepismatidae, and methodological guidelines for identification of silverfish, which requires the use of light microscope and can be helped by scanning electron microscopy. As a main objective, an updated key for the identification of all the genera of the world as they are established to date is provided and the incomplete knowledge of some of them is commented on. The insufficient knowledge of the diversity and geographic distribution of the six subfamilies of Lepismatidae is discussed, noting the most important shortcomings and problematic issues related to taxa belonging to this family, including the challenges for carrying out a comprehensive phylogeny of the group. Special attention is paid to the subfamily Ctenolepismatinae, the most diverse of Lepismatidae, erecting a new genus, Caribesella gen. nov., for the Caribbean species C. impudica comb. nov., which was previously included inside the genus Acrotelsella. We also consider that Sceletolepisma stat. nov. (i.e., sensu Irish 1987, including species with several median urosternal bristle-combs) deserves the status of a genus independent of Ctenolepisma, which, considered s. str. (i.e., lacking median urosternal combs), represents a heterogeneous group that requires further revision.
POLEMIK TERMINOLOGI KAJIAN ISLAM ANTARA ISLAMIC APOLOGETICS DAN ISLAMIC STUDIES PERSPEKTIF MAJID DANESHGAR
Authors: Afifah Farida Nur , Rini Susanti  
Published: June 2024

Islamic studies which are mostly carried out by Muslim academies, are apparently considered apologetic by Majid Daneshgar. According to Daneshgar, Islamic apologetics refer to a set of scholarly approaches and practices rooted in Muslim academies around the world that effectively protect Muslims from critical thinking about Islam and the koran. Through qualitative methods using literature study. This paper will analyze and criticize Daneshgar’s thinking using Jarl Manheim’s theory of the sociology of knowledge. The results of this research found two important points. First, Daneshgar's thesis on the apologetics of Islamic studies in the Muslim academic environment cannot be separated from Majid Daneshgar's socio-historical construction. How Daneshgar grew up in a Shiite tradition and was influenced by critical thoughts from Western scholars. Second. Daneshgar has overgeneralized Muslim academies. Daneshgar only focuses on apologetic studies and ignores critical studies conducted by Muslim academies. The most important finding from this research is that not all Western scholars' thoughts are suitable and should be adopted by Muslims. The dominance of Western thought will make Muslims trapped in a captive mind so that Muslims lose their own originality.

Published: June 2024

The study aimed at evaluating the outcome on glucose concentration in some diabetics after measured dose of magnesium has been dispensed for 8 weeks duration. Applying various spectrophotometric methods, the concentration of glucose, glucagon, insulin and C-peptide were measured along with hepatic glucose production and rate of glucose infusion. Values from these parameters were statistically determined. We observed increase in both usage and metabolism following the administration of magnesium. We particularly observed insulin-induced reduction, total body glucose utilization (30.8 ± 0.7 Vs 36.5 ± 0.9 mol/ kg. min. P 0.005) and glucose metabolism (19.0 ± 0.8 Vs 23.2 ± 0.3 mol/ kg. min P 0.01) were raised after magnesium use. It is our conclusion that the use of magnesium at recommended dose could ameliorate glucose metabolism and enhance insulin sensitivity among diabetics.
