Introduction:
Pelvic metastasis is a common presentation among patients presenting with skeletal metastasis. Image-guided percutaneous cementation of these lesions is becoming increasingly popular for the treatment of these lesions. The objective of this study was to conduct a systematic review that investigates clinical outcomes after percutaneous cementation for pelvic metastasis.

Methods:
A systematic review was registered with International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews and performed according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines using the PubMed, SCOPUS, and Ovid MEDLINE databases. All level I to IV clinical studies published in the English language investigating the clinical outcomes after percutaneous cementation for pelvic metastasis were included.

Results:
Fourteen studies with 579 patients (278 men, 301 women) and 631 metastatic pelvic lesions were included in the study. The mean follow-up range was 0.7 to 26.4 months. Percutaneous cementation alone was performed in 441 patients (76.2%). Supplemental ablative procedures were performed in 77 patients (13.3%), and supplemental internal fixation using cannulated screws was performed in 107 patients (18.5%). Twelve studies with 430 patients (74.2%) reported pain-related and/or functional outcome scores, of which all studies reported overall clinically notable improvement at short-term follow-up. All studies reported periprocedural complications. Local cement leakage was the most common complication (162/631 lesions, 25.7%) followed by transient local pain (25/579 patients, 4.3%). There were no reported cases of major complications. Seven patients (1.2%) underwent re-intervention for persistent symptoms.

Conclusions:
Percutaneous cementation may be an effective method for treating pain and function related to pelvic metastasis. The most common complication was cement leakage surrounding the lesion. The rates of major complications were low, and most complications appeared minor and transient. Additional prospective studies are needed to further assess the efficacy of this procedure.

Level of evidence:
IV, systematic review of level I to IV therapeutic studies.

Published: May 2024

This study examines financial performance of Conventional and Islamic banking in Nigeria using CAMEL rating model covering the period of 2012-2022. Secondary sources of data were collected from the bank’s financial statements. The study adopted an ex-post facto research design and purposive sampling technique to select the sampled banks for the study. Two banks Jaiz Bank Plc and Unity Bank Plc (both from Conventional and Islamic banks) were drowned to serve as the study sample. Descriptive and inferential statistics was used as tool of analysis to show the trends of performance (CAMEL) between the two banks using mean, minimum, maximum and standard deviation and also to check the relationship between the variables. Further, in inferential statistics, t-test was used to compare and test the significant variation between CAMEL components of the banks. The results showed the existence of low and negative trends in the quality of earnings of both banks. It also showed trends of performance between the two banks are significantly affected by all the CAMEL components. Moreover, results from t-tests showed a significant variation of three CAMEL components and the acceptance of alternative hypothesis. The study recommended the management of both bank should put more effort to mitigate the negative return volatility of the banks. Both bank need to have strong liquid-based or near liquid e.g., short-term securities (government bonds). A lot more effort needs to be made to create value-based products.
Lord Bute and Reform: A Failure in Leading the Change Process
Authors: Derby Kevin 
Published: May 2024

Aim: This study examined the change process in politics by looking at Lord Bute’s tenure as British prime minister.
Methods: The study draws on primary and secondary sources, including John Kotter’s eight-step change model, to evaluate Bute’s political reform efforts. This qualitative study relied on biographies, political histories, correspondence, speeches, and other sources from the figures involved.
Results: While he proposed one of the most monumental reform efforts in 18th century British politics, Bute failed to see them through thanks to his lack of experience on the political stage and other factors. Despite the findings of most historians, Bute achieved some important successes during his brief term as prime minister.
Conclusion: By the metrics of Kotter’s model, Bute did not lead the change process successfully. While Bute offered a coherent change vision, relied on some excellent supporters in office and in the media, and achieved some impressive political victories, his lack of experience ensured he fell short of his stated goal of reforming British political culture and government.
Recommendations: With Bute tackling many of the same issues that current leaders face, more study is needed of this important British political leader. A study of Bute’s tenure as prime minister offers insights on balancing military commitments with increased deficit spending and a rising national debt.

Introduction: This study aims to compare the antioxidant effects of high doses of whey protein (WP) concentrate intake on liver, kidney, and intestinal tissues.
Methods: 18 rats were divided into three groups control (n=6), control+ 8 g/kg WP (n=6), and control + 2 g/kg WP (n=6). 8 g/kg WP group was fed with whey protein added rat chow. 2 g/kg WP group, addition to their standard ad libitum feed, received the whey protein concentrate by oral gavage. On day 10, liver, kidney and intestinal tissues were removed. Lipid peroxidation, glutathione levels and superoxide dismutase and glutathione-S- transferase activities were determined in liver, kidney and intestine tissues.
Results: While lipid peroxidation did not change in all groups, glutathione level, superoxide dismutase, and glutathione-S-transferase activities increased in whey protein-administered groups. Liver glutathione level was higher in the 2 g/kg WP compared to the 8 g/kg WP group. There were no significant differences in intestinal glutathione levels between the groups. Kidney GST activity decreased in the kidney and intestine tissues of the 8 g/kg WP group compared to the 2 g/kg WP group. SOD activity was higher in all tissues in the 2 g/kg WP group compared to the other groups.
Conclusion: As a result, both whey protein treatments showed different antioxidant effects in the tissues examined. High-dose whey protein application showed lower antioxidant capacity compared to the optimal whey protein dose.
Biofarmasetics and Pharmacokinetics Study Analysis of Paracetamol Excretion Through Urine and Saliva
Authors: Fikria Nahla Akila 
Published: May 2024

The purpose of this study was to determine that Paracetamol, also known as acetaminophen, is a commonly used analgesic and antipyretic drug to relieve pain and reduce fever. The process of metabolism and elimination of paracetamol from the body is important to understand, especially in the context of the safe use of this drug. This study aims to analyze the biopharmaceutics and pharmacokinetics studies of paracetamol excretion through urine and saliva as important indicators in understanding the metabolic and elimination processes of this drug. Paracetamol is rapidly and efficiently absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract, reaches the highest concentration in plasma in a short time, and is dispersed throughout the body fluids. The metabolic process of paracetamol mainly occurs in the liver, through two main phases: oxidation and conjugation with glucuronic and sulfuric acids. Excretion of drugs and their metabolites can occur through urine and saliva, with the kidney as the main organ in the excretion process. Qualitative analytical methods were used in this study to identify paracetamol metabolite compounds in urine and saliva samples and to evaluate the metabolic pathways involved. Glucoronide, sulfate, and phenol conjugate assays were used to detect the presence of paracetamol metabolites in the samples. The assay results showed that urine was more effective in excreting paracetamol compared to saliva. In conclusion, this study provides a better understanding of the metabolic process and elimination of paracetamol from the human body through the analysis of biopharmaceutics and pharmacokinetics studies. These results are important for understanding the therapeutic effects and toxicity of paracetamol as well as for developing more effective and safe drug use management strategies.

Published: May 2024

Grafting height has a significant impact on plant growth and the development of many fruits including mango. The present study was planned to optimize the height of mango rootstock for grafting at the nursery level. Three different varieties of scion (Sindhri, Sufaid Chaunsa, Chenab Gold) were grafted at three different heights (8inch, 12inch and 16inch) using wedge/cleft grafting technique on desi mango nursery seedlings. Results showed that grafting height and scion variety have a significant impact on the growth and development of mango nursery plants. Different parameters were examined and results showed that Sindhri scion grafted at 16 inches’ height significantly improved, number of flushes (2.62), number of leaves (14.55), stem girth (14.25mm), plant height (56.16cm), scion length (18.62cm), superoxide dismutase (3.70 U mg-1 protein), peroxidase (0.96 U mg-1 protein), chlorophyll b contents (6.6 g/kg). However, the scion of Chenab Gold grafted at 12 inches, performed best for grafting survival percentage (97.5 %). So it was concluded that Chenab Gold Scion performed best at 16 inches grafting height for plant growth in all aspects as compared to other scion varieties and grafting height.

A Malay Queen’s Siamese Silver Bowl at the V&A
Authors:   Asian Civilisations Museum & Peranakan Museum, Wang Naomi 
Published: May 2024

This notice examines a nielloware silver bowl at the V&A Museum, originally from southern Thailand. Using Jawi inscriptions, the notice unravels the bowl’s significance as a royal Malay heirloom. The bowl’s intricate scenes depict Hindu–Buddhist mythical creatures and celestial beings. The royal seal found on the base is attributed to Queen Tengku Ambung Fatimah (r. 1883‒?). Another Jawi inscription traces a lineage, identifying two other royal women, Engku Besar and Engku Lebar as previous owners. The bowl was eventually dispersed from the Riau–Lingga court, likely after the sultanate was dissolved in 1911, before reaching Singapore and London. This artifact serves as a symbol of lineage, power, and transnational movement in a 19th-century maritime court.
Linear stability analysis of two‐layer rectilinear flow in slot coating
Authors: Nam Jaewook , Carvalho Marcio S. 
Published: January 2010

AbstractTwo‐layer coating occurs in many products. Ideally, the liquids are deposited onto the substrate simultaneously. In the case of two‐layer slot coating, the interlayer between the coating liquids is subjected to enormous shearing. This may lead to flow instabilities that ruin the product. It is important to map the regions of the parameter space at which the flow is unstable. Most of the stability analyses of two‐layer rectilinear flow consider the position of the interlayer as an independent parameter. Classical results cannot be applied directly in coating flows. We present a linear stability analysis of two‐layer rectilinear flow considering the flow rates as an independent parameter. The predicted neutral‐stability curves define the region of stable flow as a function of the operating parameters. The range of coating operating conditions is restricted further, when the condition for the desirable interlayer separation point location are considered together with the stability condition. © 2010 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 2010
A descriptive force‐balance model for droplet formation at microfluidic Y‐junctions
Authors: Steegmans Maartje L. J. , De Ruiter Jolet , Schroën Karin G. P. H. , Boom Remko M. 
Published: January 2010

AbstractIn a previous article, we studied the basics of emulsification in microfluidic Y‐junctions, however, without considering the effect of viscosity of the disperse phase. As it is known from investigations on many different microstructures that viscosity and viscosity ratio are governing parameters for droplet size, we here investigate whether this is also the case for microfluidic Y‐junctions and do so for a wide range of process conditions. The investigated Y‐junctions have a width of 19.9 or 12.8 μm and a depth of 5.0 μm, and the formed monodisperse droplets (CV < 1%) are between 3 and 20 μm. We varied the disperse‐phase viscosity using different oils (1–105 mPa s), and continuous‐phase viscosity using glycerol–water and ethanol–water mixtures (1.0–6.2 mPa s), which corresponds to disperse‐to‐continuous‐phase viscosity ratios from 0.4 to 105.0. Through the variation of the liquids, also a range in interfacial tensions (12–55 mN m−1) is assessed. The disperse‐phase flow rate is varied from 0.039 to 18.0 μL h−1, the continuous‐phase flow rate from 1.39 μL h−1 to 0.41 mL h−1, and this corresponds to flow rate ratios from 1.1 × 10−3 to 0.14, which is once again based on wide range of conditions. For all these conditions, in which droplets are formed in the dripping and jetting regime, the droplet size could be described with a model based on the existing force‐balance model, but now extended to incorporate the cross‐sectional area of the droplet and the resistance with the wall. Surprisingly enough, it was found that the droplet size is not influenced by the disperse‐phase viscosity, or the viscosity ratio, but it is dominated by the resistance with the wall and the continuous‐phase properties. Because of this, emulsification with Y‐junctions is intrinsically simpler than any other shear‐based method as droplet size is only determined by the continuous phase. © 2010 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 2010
