Introduction. Penile cancer (PC) is one of the rare tumors, accounting for 1-2% of all neoplasms of the genitourinary system. The clinical course of the cancer process raises many questions among both urologistsoncologists in hospitals and outpatient doctors. A retrospective analysis of articles indicates that this process has not been sufficiently studied and requires more clinical observations to determine the diagnosis and correct treatment tactics for such patients.Materials and methods. Clinical observations of the development of human cancer in patients are presented. An analysis of original articles was also carried out in the following databases: Pubmed, Scopus, Scopus, Web of Science from 2007 to 2022, dedicated to this disease.Results. When a tumor of the penis was detected, one patient underwent surgical intervention to the extent of amputation of the glans penis. In the second patient, total damage to the penis was revealed, which required more radical surgical treatment including: Emasculation with urethroplasty. The third patient underwent radiation therapy and subsequently circumcision of the foreskin. The postoperative period in patients was without complications. No relapse was observed.Conclusion.Penile cancer, despite its rarity, is a pressing problem in modern oncology. Even with proper examination and treatment, it is difficult to predict the further development of the disease. These clinical cases force specialists to examine patients more carefully so as not to miss pathology that can cripple the patient and change his future lifestyle, and also shows different options for treatment outcomes for penile cancer.

A Rare Presentation of Tuberculosis as a Splenic Abscess
Authors: Mohan Ranjit , Rao Medha Y , Rao A R Nitin , Vishnupriyanka G 
Published: June 2024

Aims: Splenic tubercular abscess is a very unusual clinical presentation in an immunocompetent host. This rare clinical condition which can occur in two forms. The first form where splenic involvement is seen as a part of miliary Tuberculosis especially in immune-compromised individuals. The second form is the primary involvement of the spleen which is extremely rare.
Presentation of the Case: We encountered a case of a middle aged immunocompetent male who presented with vague pain in the left hypochondrium for 3 months duration and fever for 3 days. On clinical examination he had tenderness over the left hypochondrium. On admission he had lymphocytosis with elevated ESR. His Mantoux test was positive. CT scan abdomen revealed multiple hypodensities in spleen,the largest measuring 12x11mm and suspected to be granulomas of Tuberculosis. Laparoscopic splenectomy was done. Histopathological examination showed large areas of caseation surrounded by multiple granulomas of epithelioid and Langerhans type of giant cells suggestive of tuberculosis. No primary focus of tuberculosis was detected in lungs or other organs. Anti-tubercular therapy was started and the patient became afebrile and his general condition improved.
Discussion: Splenic involvement was generally thought to be seen only in immunocompromised stages. However, there are sporadic case reports of splenic Tuberculosis in immunocompetent patients such as ours.Where splenic involvement is seen as a part of miliary Tuberculosis especially in immune-compromised individuals, which is less rare, the treatment includes classic antituberculous treatment, and surgical intervention is required as a rare exception . The second form, which is the primary involvement of the spleen, is extremely rare. Early splenectomy followed by oral antituberculous drugs may be considered the more appropriate approach for this entity.
Conclusion: Tuberculosis may have protean manifestations and becomes difficult to diagnose when it presents in an uncommon extrapulmonary site. Hence, although primary splenic tuberculosis is extremely rare , it should be also considered among the differential diagnoses of abscesses in the spleen in the regions with high prevalence of Tuberculosis.
Intelligent Films Based on Lobeira Fruit Starch for Fresh Chicken Meat Quality Monitoring
Authors: Silva-Corrêa Karytha Merie , Stefani Ricardo 
Published: June 2024

The use of intelligent films as colorimetric indicator devices in food packaging provides information about changes in the pH, time, temperature and microbiological properties of the product. These devices enable consumers to analyze food with the naked eye, ensuring food safety and quality. Thus, this study explores the use of lobeira (Solanum lycocarpum L.) native starch starch and vanillin in the development of colorimetric indicator films for monitoring chicken meat deterioration, aiming at enhancing food packaging safety and longevity. Films were prepared through a casting method using starch, poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), and varying concentrations of vanillin. These indicator films were characterized by FTIR spectroscopy and thermal analysis. In this study, degradation monitoring of chicken meat at 12 and 25°C was also performed. Subsequently, color changes in the indicator films were observed over time, indicating meat spoilage. Results revealed that films containing 0.05% and 0.1% vanillin concentrations exhibited more pronounced color changes, indicating higher sensitivity to meat deterioration. Overall, the findings suggest that the developed films, incorporating vanillin as a colorimetric indicator, hold promise for real-time monitoring of food quality and safety within packaging systems, thus contributing to improved consumer protection and product shelf life.

Coconut also called as ‘Kalpavriksha’ in Sanskrit, which means tree of heaven, because of its usefulness from each part of the tree. India is one of the leading producers of coconut in the world as India stands third place in terms of area under coconut cultivation followed by Indonesia and Philippines. Though coconut has several uses, it requires high amount of water for growth and it is about 800 to 1000 mm annually. The study was aimed to find the irrigation method, which would be efficient for coconut cultivation. Hence, to compare the yield, profitability and efficiency of coconut production among drip irrigated and flood irrigated farms, a study was formulated in Tiruppur district with a sample of 40 drip irrigated and 40 flood irrigated farms constituting a total of 80 coconut farms. The study found that drip irrigation reduces weed growth, pest incidence, etc, which leads reduced labour use and contributes to increased net returns. The net returns was also comparatively low in flood irrigated farm category Rs. 88962.76, as against the net return of Rs. 112374.14 in drip irrigated farm category. The difference in net returns between flood and drip irrigated farms was Rs. 23411.38 and it was about 20.83 per cent higher than net returns obtained from flood irrigated coconut farms. The results of benefit cost ratio was higher in drip irrigated farm category (1.51) as compared to flood irrigated farm category (1.42). This might be mainly due to the increased yield obtained in drip irrigated farms than flood irrigated farms due to better efficiency of production. The mean technical efficiency was found to be 76.58 per cent and 87.66 per cent in flood irrigated and drip irrigated coconut farms respectively. It can be concluded from the analysed results that the coconut production, profitability and efficiency is high in drip irrigated farms and hence the study recommends for adoption of drip irrigation for coconut cultivation, leading to sustainable water use as by the sixth sustainable development goal.

Published: August 2012

AbstractMultiphoton lithography (MPL) is a highly versatile strategy for creating 3D microscale objects with complex geometrical arrangements, including nested boxes, interlocking blocks, and braided threads. Of the various chemistries used to produce solid forms in MPL, protein photocrosslinking has been of particular value in biological applications, yielding materials with high porosity, tunable elasticity, and a diverse set of chemical and biochemical properties. Unfortunately, the potential for object drift, and consequent distortion, during this direct‐write process has required that microforms be constructed in integral contact with an immobile surface, precluding fabrication of protein‐based objects that retain rotational and translational degrees of freedom. Here, the development of a high‐viscosity protein‐based reagent that can be used to fabricate complex 3D microstructures that are not adhered to a surface, including chains of Möbius strips, paddlewheels, and unconstrained (free‐floating) probes for bacterial motility, is reported.

Published: August 2012

AbstractPerovskite oxides form a fascinating class of materials because they possess many active degrees of freedom that result in a large variety of physical effects. One important structural parameter controlling the behavior of perovskites is the tilting of the oxygen octahedral. Among other properties, this tilting is coupled with the electric and magnetic orders, which leads to novel and potentially useful phenomena; recent examples include new mechanisms for improper and triggered ferroelectricity, rich phase diagrams, and novel chiral phases, counter‐intuitive behaviors of ferroelectric and multiferroic films, and weak ferromagnetism in otherwise antiferromagnetic materials. Interestingly, most perovskites present the same tilted structures, which are few in number and fairly simple. In contrast, here we use different theoretical methods to show that a complete new family of stable phases, all displaying complex and nano‐twinned tilting patterns (as well as other anomalous properties), exists in multiferroic BiFeO3 and related compounds.

Published: August 2012

AbstractSolid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) are highly efficient energy conversion devices with the advantage of directly utilizing hydrocarbon fuels. Starting with a short introduction about the fuel challenges and early achievements in this field, this review paper focuses on advances in oxygen‐ion conducting electrolyte‐based SOFC during the last 15 years. Robust anodes immune to carbon deposition are a prerequisite for direct hydrocarbon SOFC. In this paper, direct hydrocarbon SOFC anode materials are classified into three general categories: Ni‐cermet, Cu‐cermet, and oxide‐based anodes. Oxide anodes are further classified in terms of their crystalline structures, namely fluorite, rutile, tungsten bronze, pyrochlore, perovskite, and double perovskite. Achievements and recent advances on these SOFC anodes are reviewed and discussed. The concluding remarks summarize the pros and cons of direct hydrocarbon SOFC anode materials along with the perspective of future research trends.

Published: August 2012

AbstractMolecularly ordered composites of polyvinylimidazole‐[Os(bipyridine)2Cl] (PVI‐[Os(bpy)2Cl]) and glucose oxidase (GOD) are assembled inside a film of aligned carbon nanotubes. The structure of the prepared GOD/PVI‐[Os(bpy)2Cl]/CNT composite film is entirely uniform and stable; more than 90% bioelectrocatalytic activity could be maintained even after storage for 6 d. Owing to the ideal positional relationship achieved between enzyme, mediator, and electrode, the prepared film shows a high bioelectrocatalytic activity for glucose oxidation (ca. 15 mA cm−2 at 25 °C) with an extremely high electron‐transfer turnover rate (ca. 650 s−1) comparable to the value for GOD solutions, indicating almost every enzyme molecule entrapped within the ensemble (ca. 3 × 1012 enzymes in a 1 mm × 1 mm film) can work to the fullest extent. This free‐standing, flexible composite film can be used by winding on a needle device; as an example, a self‐powered sugar monitor is demonstrated.
Earliest record ofPlatychoerops(Primates, Plesiadapidae), a new species from Mouras Quarry, Mont de Berru, France
Authors: Boyer Doug M. , Costeur Loïc , Lipman Yaron 
Published: August 2012

AbstractPlesiadapids are extinct relatives of extant euarchontans (primates, dermopterans, and scandentians), which lived in North America and Europe during the Paleocene and Early Eocene. The only genus of plesiadapid whose species are absent from Paleocene strata isPlatychoerops. Further,Platychoeropsis the only group found in sediments post‐dating the Paleocene‐Eocene boundary (PEB) by a substantial period of time based on large samples. It is also substantially different from other plesiadapids in dental features thought to reflect ecology. Its evolution has been linked to the rapid global climate change and faunal turnover marking the PEB.PlatychoeropsandPlesiadapis tricuspidenshave been reconstructed as members of a single lineage by some authors. We describe a specimen (right p3‐m3) that we attribute to a new species,Platychoeropsantiquus, from the unequivocally Paleocene (MP6) Mouras Quarry of Mont de Berru, France. It has strong morphological affinities toPlatychoerops daubreiyet co‐occurs with many specimens ofPlesiadapis tricuspidens, as well as the plesiadapidChiromyoides campanicus. The existence of a species ofPlatychoeropsprior to the PEB decouples the evolution ofPlatychoeropsfrom the climate change and faunal turnover event associated with the PEB. Furthermore, the co‐occurrence ofPlatychoeropswithP. tricuspidensrefutes the idea of a single lineage for these taxa. Instead,Platychoeropsmay be more closely related to North AmericanPlesiadapis cookei(a previous alternate hypothesis). We suggest character displacement in a Paleocene immigrant population ofP. cookeiresulting from competition with sympatricP. tricuspidens, as a likely scenario for the evolution ofPlatychoerops.
