Postcolonoscopy Diverticulitis
Authors: Essam Mahmoud E. , Beintaris Iosif , Rutter Matthew D. 
Published: May 2024

ABSTRACT
Colonoscopy, generally safe but not devoid of risks, can lead to rare complications. We present 2 cases of postcolonoscopy diverticulitis (PCD). Case 1 was a 63-year-old woman, following colonoscopy, who developed acute sigmoid diverticulitis, despite a Diverticular Inflammation and Complication Assessment (DICA) score of 2, indicating extensive diverticulosis without inflammation. Conservative management with antibiotics led to recovery. Remarkably, she experienced a recurrent episode. Case 2 was a 74-year-old woman who had 2 colonoscopies, revealing pancolonic diverticulosis (DICA score: 2) without inflammation. After the second procedure, she developed severe sigmoid diverticulitis, managed conservatively with antibiotics. Discussion highlights PCD's rarity (prevalence: 0.04%–0.08%) and unclear pathogenesis. Both cases had DICA scores ≥2, suggesting a potential risk factor. Clinicians should recognize PCD, as it can mimic more common postcolonoscopy complications. Early recognition and management are vital.

Abstract
The need for sheet metal forming using highly resistant materials such as titanium alloys and stainless steel has increased recently. These materials possess elevated mean flow stress values, which make them difficult to draw at room temperature. To achieve a homogeneous distribution of strain in the stretched component, reduce the load required for plastic deformation, and greatly improve material formability, hot forming is helpful. The goal of the current study is to conduct stretch-forming experiments to investigate the forming characteristics of Austenitic material Stainless Steel (ASS) 304 at Hot working temperatures. Stretch forming experiments have been conducted on the Servo electrical sheet press test machine at 650 and 800°C. The formability has been estimated by constructing a Fracture forming diagram (FFLD), limiting the height of the dome (LDH) and the distribution of the strain of stretched cups. It has been discovered that the limit of forming bounds rises with the temperature reaching 800°C, while the DSA effect causes the necking region – the area between the safe and fracture limits ‒ to decrease with additional temperature rise from 800 to 900°C. Within the experimental limitations, it has been considered that the Hot forming of ASS 304 at 650°C gives the highest strain forming limits with a uniform strain distribution in the stretched cups. From the Formability limit diagram, dome height, and strain distribution, it can be observed that ASS 304 has good limiting strain up to 800°C with lower load application.

Abstract
One of the most common characteristics of metallic alloys is work hardening, which is most beneficial as it is the primary reason for the alloys’ tenacity to withstand loading even in the presence of internal flaws or geometrical errors. Thus, the work hardening coefficient gives the maximum amount of homogeneous plastic deformation in tensile straining. Thus, complex-forming operations are facilitated by a high coefficient without experiencing premature failure. Naturally, work hardening has a significant impact on the mechanical energy required to shape a material by plastic deformation, such as rolling, forming, etc. The quantity of energy that the material stores during plastic deformation is also managed by work hardening. As a result, it significantly influences how the metal behaves when it is subsequently softened during annealing. Finally, the hardening capacity and durability of the work hardened state are significant practical challenges because many high-volume stretch formed components are directly used. Typically, the current study begins, at homologous temperatures above 0.4 times melting point, with a description of work hardening at 700, 800, and 900°C temperatures in three different orientations with respect to rolling direction R
0, R
45, and R
90 and 10−1−10−3 s−1 strain rates, where thermally triggered processes exhibit a prominent role in work hardening. Three stages of behavior were identified by analyzing the tensile work hardening of ASS 304 steel. Dynamic strain aging is the cause of the anomalous fluctuation in the work hardening rate that is seen in hot working temperatures. X-ray diffraction examination is conducted to introspect any phase changes occurring in hot working regions improving plasticity of ASS 304.

Published: May 2024

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) Dirac materials, e.g., graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), are one-atom-thick monolayers whose electronic behaviors are described by the Dirac equation. These materials serve not only as test beds for novel quantum physics but also as promising constituents for nanophotonic devices. This review provides a brief overview of the recent effort to control Dirac electron behaviors using nanophotonics. We introduce a principle of light-2D Dirac matter interaction to offer a design guide for 2D Dirac material–based nanophotonic devices. We also discuss opportunities for coupling nanophotonics with externally perturbed 2D materials.

Abstract
The regular consumption of vegetables and fruits has been indicated as part of a healthy diet. They are considered healthy foods because they are sources of vitamins, minerals, and fibre. Adequate intake of these foods can reduce the risk of certain chronic diseases, like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, and various types of cancer. The objective of the present study was to determine the consumption habits of vegetables and fruits in two different countries, Portugal and France. For this descriptive study, it was used a questionnaire survey, applied to individuals over 18 years old and carried out through the internet, being disseminated on social networks and by email. The sample was constituted by 640 participants (257 from Portugal and 383 from France). Statistical tools were used for the treatment of data, like the T-Test and chi-square test utilised to compare the results between Portuguese and French consumers. The results showed that the Portuguese eat out more often than the French. Portuguese and French like vegetables equally but the French eat more vegetables and fruit per week on average than the Portuguese. The French like soup as much as the Portuguese but the Portuguese eat soup more regularly than the French and prefer soup with cut pieces, unlike the French which prefer soup with grounded vegetables. The global consumption of vegetables and fruits is low in both countries and should be increased, most especially in Portugal, where the consumption is lower. In conclusion, despite some differences found across consumers according to country, the consumption of these foods is still below the recommendations of the World Health Organisation, and therefore, some more actions are necessary to incentivise a higher consumption of fruits and vegetables as part of a healthy lifestyle.
Effect of consumer dissonance on product packaging: an empirical study of distance learning students in Lagos, Nigeria
Authors: Olutade Enitan Olumide , Enwereji Prince Chukwuneme 
Published: May 2024

The Axiom ‘seeing is believing’ is becoming no more imperative with the packaging of consumable goods after consumers’ experience with a brand. There is no doubt that this is one of the key drivers of brand switching. This research evaluates the effect of product packaging on post-purchase decisions of consumable products in Nigeria. Cognitive dissonance is a situation where consumers’ needs are not met and the consumer’s experience is far below the expectation. This could be a result of the failure of the packaging to adequately protect the product content; the packaging not drawing attention to the product, or it could not flaunt the egoistic nature of the consumer in terms of novelty where the consumer expected to portray his/her social class attribute. Do marketers adequately exploit the impacts/benefits of packaging to reduce consumer dissonance? What are the aftermaths of consumer dissonance on product packaging? A survey was conducted amongst marketers, distributors, and consumers of PZ Cussons PLC using random sampling. The relationships between responses were assessed and the results are presented and discussed. This study affirms that marketers should take advantage of packaging attributes to prevent or reduce the incidence of consumer dissonance. Hence, it is suggested that marketers should endeavor to invest more in product packaging design in order to gain consumer satisfaction and loyalty which could result in increased purchases.

Purpose. The purpose of the scientific article is to study and substantiate the principle methodology for calculating the bearing capacity of a screw pile with a spiral blade on the basis of field tests of a prototype pile using existing methods of theoretical calculation of similar piles. Determination of the bearing capacity of a pile with a spiral blade by the soil according to the first limit state. Also, the goal is to determine certain regularities in the modeling of pile structure. Methodology. A metal elements pile is used as a test sample. Determination of the theoretical bearing capacity of the pile in the vertical direction is conducted using formulas and calculation data from Appendix H.5 (DBN B.2.1-10-2009, 2011). The basic solution is that the load-bearing capacity of the pile is achieved due to the adhesion of each individual blade to the soil, which in total reflects the final value of the load-bearing capacity of the pile. Findings. Six experimental piles were installed and tested with static axial compressive and pullout loads. The estimated compressive, pullout and horizontal loads allowed for test piles, turned in to the design mark and tested without soaking subsoils, were determined. In this work, on the basis of experiments, the possibility of using the calculation data existing in the regulatory documentation as a justified theoretical calculation of pile-based foundations in the design of buildings and structures in general with the use of piles with a spiral blade is proven. Originality. A refined mathematical dependence for determining the bearing capacity of a screw pile with a spiral blade by the soil is proposed and the possibility of its use is confirmed experimentally. Practical value. The proposed method makes it possible to substantiate and use screw piles with a spiral blade for pile foundations.

Authors: Thuy Vo Thi Bich , Thang La Cao , Thuc Le Vinh 
Published: May 2024

Background: To determine the optimal water irrigation method combined with covering material for Allium chinense growth and yield on acid sulfate soil. Methods: The field experiment was carried out in a randomized complete block design, which include four treatments, each with four replications. The plot size was 83.3 m2 (19.6 m in length, 4.25 m in width). Treatments were flooding irrigation combined with rice straw covering (FI-RS), flooding irrigation combined with Eleocharis dulcis covering (FI-ED, control), spray irrigation combined with rice straw covering (SI-RS) and spray irrigation combined with Eleocharis dulcis covering (SI-ED). Result: Experimental results showed that Allium chinense planted on the treatment of SI increased clump height (47.2 cm) and weight of bulb (4.38 g), gave the highest yield of 40.9 t ha-1 and increased up to 25.9% in comparison to planted in conventional method (control). The spray irrigation method was more suitable than the flooding irrigation method for growing Allium chinense. Vitamin C content in bulbs was not changed under different water irrigation methods combined with mulching materials.

Authors: Bozzo Anthony , Aysola Varun , Yeung Caleb M. , Healey John H. , Prince Daniel E. 
Published: May 2024

Background:
While sustainable long-term function has been established for biological reconstruction with distraction osteogenesis (DO) following osseous resections, there is a paucity of published data informing surgeons and patients on important milestones in the reconstructive process. The objectives of this study were to determine when to expect complete bone healing and full weight-bearing as well as to quantify the influence of chemotherapy on the osseous regeneration process.

Methods:
Prospectively, pathological and clinical data were collected for 30 consecutive patients who underwent primary or secondary DO-based reconstruction following osseous resection from 2018 to 2021. Serial radiographs indicated the times to cortex formation and full union. An unpaired t test was used to compare the time required for full bone remodeling of segments transported with and without concurrent chemotherapy.

Results:
The average resection length was 13.6 cm (range, 4 to 22 cm). Patients underwent an average of 6.1 procedures (range, 1 to 14 procedures). Half (50%) of all procedures were planned, while half were unplanned procedures. All patients achieved full, independent weight-bearing at a median of 12 months (interquartile range [IQR], 9 to 16 months). For the 34 segments transported concurrently with chemotherapy, the mean bone healing index (BHI) was 2.3 ± 0.7, and the mean BHI was 1.2 ± 0.4 for the 25 segments without chemotherapy at any point during their transport (p < 0.0001).

Conclusions:
All 30 patients achieved full bone healing and independent weight-bearing at a median of 1 year postoperatively and continued to show functional improvement afterward. Surgeons and patients can expect bone healing to be nearly twice as fast for segments transported after completion of systemic chemotherapy compared with segments transported concurrently with adjuvant chemotherapy.

Published: May 2024

Case:
A 24-year-old woman presented with dedifferentiated parosteal osteosarcoma of the proximal femur and was treated with limb salvage surgery using the Compress implant. It was implanted with a technical error, was not revised, and has demonstrated no negative outcomes 29 months postoperatively.

Conclusion:
An instance of incorrect pin placement during the implantation of a Zimmer Compress implant is presented with good survivorship. This report acts as information for other surgeons who might inadvertently obtain unicortical fixation. In this patient, revision surgery was avoided and an excellent, short-term outcome was achieved while avoiding the potentially devastating complications associated with revision implantation.

Temporal Context Modeling for Enhanced Video Content Retrieval and Moment Detection
Authors: Singh Pratibha , Kushwaha Alok Kumar Singh 
Published: May 2024

Abstract

Identifying relevant moments in video content using natural language queries is a challenging task, especially in the era of exponential growth in video content. Existing solutions need to detect relevant moments by capturing the global context of videos and surpassing local temporal correlations. In this paper, we propose a novel and comprehensive framework for video content retrieval and moment detection based on natural language queries. Our framework centers on a novel temporal context modeling approach that captures and exploits long-range dependencies and contextual information across different time scales. We also integrate a specialized encoder-decoder model with multi-modal intent to extract intricate temporal patterns and context from video data and understand the user's intent. To address the challenge of temporal variance, a prominent obstacle in moment retrieval, we harness the power of our temporal context modeling. Our approach handles these changes, resulting in more accurate content retrieval and analysis. We conducted a comprehensive comparative study on available datasets using recall (R@1, R@5) emphasize ranking accuracy for top highlights and mean average precision (map) assesses overall ranking quality, prioritizing relevance to the query across multiple recall levels. Our experimental findings show the superior performance of the proposed framework compared to existing methods. Incorporating the multi-modal intent technique and the innovative temporal context modeling enhance the ability to identify relevant moments and highlights. Our proposed framework is a novel approach to video content retrieval and moment detection that has the potential to revolutionize the way we interact with video content.

Abstract

Primary cilia are present on renal tubules and are implicated to play pivotal role in transducing signals during development; however, the oncogenic role of cilia in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) has not been examined. Here we show that VHL wild-type ccRCC cell lines have high incidence of primary cilia, and high frequency of primary cilia is positively correlated with VHL expression and poor prognosis. Besides, depletion Kif3a or Ift88, genes required for ciliogenesis, significantly inhibited tumor proliferation and metastasis in vitro and in vivo. Further analysis found that mutations of key genes in hedgehog signaling are enriched in VHL wild ccRCC, its downstream signaling activation depends on ciliogenesis. Moreover, depletion of primary cilia or suppression of hedgehog pathway activation with inhibitor induced robust autophagic cell death. Collectively, our findings revealed that primary cilia could serve as a diagnostic tool and provide new insights into the mechanism of VHL wild-type ccRCC progression. Targeting primary cilia-hedgehog pathway may represent an effective therapeutic strategy for VHL wild-type ccRCC.
