Published: August 2024

Antioxidants possess both biological and physiological properties for preventing damage to cells induced by ultraviolet radiation. The study was conducted to observe the effect of some antioxidants on the survival rate of non-pathogenic and pathogenic strains of Escherichia coli. Solutions of Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and Vitamin E were incorporated into sterile Petri dishes containing a fixed amount of the inoculums, the population of the bacterium was determined, and then exposed to ultraviolet light at varying degrees of time. After exposure, Vitamin A reduced cell number at every exposure time, with the highest reduction observed after 20 minutes of exposure time, from 68 cfu/ml to 57 cfu/ml for clinical E. coli (E1), while environmental E. coli (E2) isolate cell reduction was 41 cfu/ml at 20 minutes observed at concentrations 100 mg/100 ml. For vitamin C at a concentration 100 mg/100 ml, E1 reduced to 8 cfu/ml at 20 minutes. At 100mg/100ml, Vitamin E reduced E2 colonies to 11 cfu/ml at 20 minutes. The antibiotic susceptibility of the isolates showed that E1 showed resistance to 62.5% of the antibiotics tested against, while E2 was resistant to 50% of the antibiotics. This study revealed that at higher antioxidant concentrations, bacterial cells tend to be protected against the effects of UV radiation at a shorter exposure time.

Maize cultivation in Cameroon faces threats from the fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda), significantly reducing crop yields. This study explores eco-friendly, safe, and accessible pest control methods. Trials were conducted in Garoua (zone I), Foumbot (zone III), and Ntui (zone V) using six treatments: Control, Emamectin (RAPAX), Bacillus thuringiensis, Soap, A. indica oil (neem), and Bacillus thuringiensis + Emamectin. All treatments showed insecticidal effects compared to the control, with Emamectin, Bacillus thuringiensis + Emamectin, A. indica oil, and Bacillus thuringiensis being most effective. High incidence rates were found in zones I and III (55.82% and 44.17%) versus zone V (34.72%). Significant positive correlations existed between attack severity and incidence (r=0.801), larval numbers with incidence (r=0.639) and severity (r=0.420), while grain yield had significant negative correlations with incidence (r= -0.736), severity (r= -0.931), and larval numbers (r= -0.690). Yield analysis showed significant effects (P<0.05) from all treatments compared to control. Emamectin yielded 2950kg/ha, followed by Emamectin + Bacillus thuringiensis (2783kg/ha). Control treatments yielded 1100kg, while soap, A. indica, and Bacillus thuringiensis yielded 2257kg/ha, 2607kg/ha, and 2750kg/ha respectively. No significant zone effect was noted. The study emphasizes balancing economic and efficacy factors in pest control method selection, with neem oil, emamectin benzoate, and RAPAX suitable for various pest pressures and environmental conditions.

Les nanoparticules d’oxyde de zinc sont apparues comme un nouvel outil en agronomie et en protection des cultures grâce à leur efficacité dans la lutte contre les pathogènes bactériens des plantes résistants aux agents antibactériens conventionnels. Les nanoparticules d’oxyde de zinc et la gentamicine ont été testées quantitativement contre Xanthomonas campesiris vesicatoria, l’agent pathogène responsable des taches infectieuses avant et après la récolte de la tomate. Exactement 0,1 ml de la suspension de tomate broyée a été étalé de manière aseptique sur un milieu gélosé au saccharose et a été incubé à une température optimale pendant 24 à 48 heures. Des tests de pathogénicité des isolats ont été réalisés sur des tomates non infectées afin d’authentifier les isolats infectieux obtenus. Des extraits aqueux et éthanoliques de nanoparticules d’oxyde de zinc et des antibiotiques gentamicine ont été testés sur les isolats de Xanthomonas campesiris vesicatoria confirmés, par technique de diffusion en coupe d’agar. Extrait aqueux et éthanolique de nanoparticules d’oxyde de zinc et d’antibiotiques gentamicine préparés en concentrations variées ; 5 µg/mL, 2,5 µg/mL, 1,25 µg/mL dans différentes dilutions doubles ont été testés sur Xanthomonas campesiris vesicatoria obtenu et ont présenté une activité antibactérienne compétitive significative. L’extrait éthanolique a montré une activité antibactérienne plus forte que l’extrait aqueux. La gentamicine, un antibiotique à large spectre, exerce une activité antibactérienne compétitive à chaque dilution. La croissance de Xanthomonas campestris pv.vesicatoria, l’agent étiologique de la tache infectieuse chez la tomate, a été remarquablement supprimée par les nanoparticules d’oxyde de zinc, comme cela a également été observé dans la gentamicine.

Published: August 2024

The library as a core educational learning center should reflect the current revolution in the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) for academic learning. However, due to current advancements in the use of ICTs, old library buildings are gradually becoming obsolete. Users' visits to libraries will continue to drop until the obsolescence of the library buildings is addressed and creative learning spaces are established. Many university library buildings in Nigeria have not been modernised to satisfy the educational learning needs of the users they serve in the twenty-first century. This study examines users' perceptions of university library buildings in Nigeria. The objective is to determine users' educational learning resource demands and library building expectations that suit their 21st century needs as learners. A quantitative research methodology was used, with questionnaires (n= 484) distributed to users of libraries at selected educational institutions of higher learning in Nigeria. Findings shows that users were pleased with the indoor ambient conditions of the libraries, but were dissatisfied with the insufficient facilities and provision that met their 21st century learning demands. The paper suggests that educational institutions should constantly examine the learners' requirements in order to match their current educational needs. This would allow them to provide and/or upgrade their library buildings, which would improve users' learning while also meeting the needs of 21st century library users. It concluded that outmoded library buildings are a reflection of poor educational outcomes, which are invariably responsible for making library buildings irrelevant to users.

One of the manifestations of the power of patients, relatives and citizens to act concerning their health and participation in the general interest that more and more of them over time is now recognized by some authors as asocial fact, by others like the blockbuster of the 21st century, is noted by the number of publications on the subject at the global level because produced in an anthropogenic way. The aim of this article is first to describe the contours of what has developed in terms of patient postures and qualifications in recent decades before proposing the lines of research that appear necessary to frame and promote the development of what has been recommended by the World Health Organization for more than three decades.
L’une des manifestations du pouvoir d’agir des patients, proches et citoyens concernant leur santé et leur participation à l’intérêt général est aujourd’hui reconnue par certains auteurs et définie comme un fait social, par d’autres comme le blockbuster du 21e siècle. Et ceci se constate par le nombre de publications sur le sujet au niveau mondial car produites à un rythme anthropique. Cet article se propose dans un premier temps de décrire les contours de ce qui s’est constitué en terme de postures et qualifications de patients ces dernières décennies avant de proposer les pistes de recherche qui apparaissent nécessaires pour encadrer et favoriser le développement de ce qui est recommandé par l’Organisation Mondiale de la Santé depuis plus de trois décennies.

Oral health is a relevant issue in public health due to the frequency of oral diseases and their impacts on health, social and professional insertion. Most of these affections could be avoided with healthy behaviors and easier use of care. However, social inequalities in health and access to care are present from early childhood. Prevention actions and support in the care pathway adapted to vulnerable populations are necessary in order to improve partnership with families, prevention and access to care from early childhood. This study aims to explore the representations about oral health and oral care from parents of children aged from 1 to 6 years old identified as being in a precarious situation and living in Dijon and its conurbation.
La santé bucco-dentaire est un enjeu majeur de santé publique en raison de la fréquence des affections et de son impact sur la santé générale, la qualité de vie et l’insertion sociale. La plupart des affections seraient évitables par le biais de l’adoption de comportements favorables à la santé ainsi que par un recours aux soins facilité. Or des inégalités sociales en termes de santé bucco-dentaire et de recours aux soins sont présentes dès la petite enfance. Des actions de prévention et d’accompagnement dans le parcours de soins adaptées aux populations en situation de précarité sont donc nécessaires afin d’améliorer le partenariat avec les familles et la prévention et l’accès aux soins dès la petite enfance. Cette étude vise à explorer le rapport à la santé et aux soins bucco-dentaires de parents d’enfants de 1 à 6 ans identifiés en situation de précarité résidant dans l’agglomération dijonnaise.

PROSTHETIC JOINT INFECTION
Authors: Usman Muhammad Andry 
Published: August 2024

The number of cases handled by PJI is projected to rise in the coming years. The diagnosis of PJI relies on evaluating microbiology, inflammatory response, and pathology. However, the accuracy of the diagnosis is compromised by previous exposure to antimicrobial agents, the possibility of contamination, and the lack of specificity of inflammatory markers. Although new testing methods, such as molecular techniques, hold the potential for a swift diagnosis, they are constrained by the risk of contamination and the absence of susceptibility results. Interestingly, emerging synovial fluid markers exhibit promise as an additional tool in diagnosing PJI. The management of each PJI case, both in terms of surgery and antimicrobial treatment, requires an individualized assessment. It is imperative to conduct high-quality studies that aim to determine the most effective route and duration of antimicrobial treatment for each surgical approach. This review provides an overview of the diagnostic tests and treatment options for prosthetic joint infection, offering a practical approach to managing this complex clinical condition.
