Introduction:
Interdigital neuroma (IN) is a benign enlargement of tissue surrounding the common plantar digital nerve. Although the standard surgical treatment of IN remains debated, recent attention has been given to less-invasive surgical decompression by intermetatarsal ligament (IML) release with neurolysis. This study aimed to compare the outcomes of IML release with neurolysis with standard interdigital neurectomy.

Methods:
A retrospective chart review was conducted on 350 consecutive patients who underwent surgical treatment of IN. Patients who satisfied our inclusion and exclusion criteria were categorized into two groups based on the surgical treatment received: IML release with neurolysis or interdigital neurectomy. Outcomes assessed included recurrence of symptoms, rate of revision surgery, and postoperative wound infection.

Results:
Of the total sample, 40 patients (31.5%) reported recurrence of symptoms within a 12-month follow-up period. Patients who underwent IML release with neurolysis had a markedly higher recurrence rate (47.50%) than those who underwent interdigital neurectomy (24.14%). The rate of postoperative wound infection was similar between the two groups. Binary logistic regression revealed that only the surgical technique was associated with the recurrence of symptoms. Despite the higher rate of symptom recurrence in the IML release with neurolysis patient group, the rate of revision surgery in those with symptom recurrence was similar between both groups.

Discussion:
IML release with neurolysis seems to have a higher risk of symptom recurrence than interdigital neurectomy. No patient-specific factors were identified as being associated with symptom recurrence. However, patients who did experience symptom recurrence in either surgical group had similar rates of revision surgery, which may be due to mild recurrent symptom severity in the IML release group that does not warrant revision surgery in these patients. Future studies should consider objective symptom recurrence severity and patient satisfaction.

Published: May 2024

Background: Nausea and vomiting early in pregnancy are experienced by around 70-80% of pregnant women. If nausea and vomiting occur too often, it will become a pathological condition called hyperemesis gravidarum. Many factors trigger hyperemesis gravidarum, necessitating more in-depth research regarding the risk factors for hyperemesis gravidarum and their impact on the weight of pregnant women in the first trimester.
Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the correlation between hyperemesis gravidarum risk factors and the body weight of first-trimester pregnant women in East Jakarta.
Methods: A quantitative study employing descriptive analysis and a cross-sectional case-control method was conducted, including 84 first-trimester respondents selected using targeted sampling techniques. Data collection was performed using questionnaires, and data analysis was conducted using Chi-square.
Results: There is a significant relationship between the risk factor variables for severe morning sickness, namely age, occupation, history of vomiting, anemia, and the outcome, which is the measurement of pregnant women’s weight.
Conclusions: There is a relationship between age, occupation, pregnancy, history of vomiting, anemia, and mild stress with the results of weight measurement of pregnant women in the first 3 months of pregnancy.

Esta pesquisa analisa a aplicabilidade do chamamento ao processo na esfera do Direito Processual Civil brasileiro, destinado a aumentar a eficiência e equidade judiciais, permitindo que o réu requisite, para o processo, terceiros na mesma obrigação legal envolvidos. De natureza exploratória e qualitativa, a pesquisa sublinhou a análise de decisões judiciais, e o constante na literatura acadêmica, e na legislação pertinente, relativamente às discrepâncias entre Prático-teóricas como e aplicabilidade do chamamento ao processo. Teoricamente projetado para promover justiça e economia processual, na prática, resultados indicam que, o chamamento ao processo enfrenta, frequentemente, o comprometimento de seus objetivos por limitações devidas, principalmente, à extensão dos litígios e complexidade que possam surgir. Conclui-se que revisão das normativas legais e práticas se faz urgente no afã garantir que sejam atendidos efetivamente os seus propósitos Primordiais que aludem ao chamamento ao processo, sugerindo-se a inclusão de métodos quantitativos em pesquisas futuras para a exata avaliação dos impactos. Para reformas legislativas e melhorias procedimentais no sistema judiciário brasileiro é primordial a análise das implicações práticas e teóricas desse dispositivo legal.

Published: May 2024

Background
One in four strokes occur in stroke victims, with hospital readmissions contributing to high-cost care. Transition of care programs have been successful in reducing hospital readmissions in other diseases, but the data on such programs for stroke are mixed. A transition of care program was implemented with the goal of reducing recurrent strokes and hospital readmissions.
Methods
We implemented a transition of care program using nurse navigators and early outpatient follow-up with a vascular neurologist. Data were obtained on: Rate of recurrent stroke admissions within one-year, all-cause readmission within one-year, all-cause readmission within 30 days, initial follow-up scheduled within 7-10 days, compliance with follow up, and compliance rates with provision of two-day post-hospital discharge phone calls.
Results
An improvement was seen in process measures reflecting adherence to the intervention across all 3 years. The rate of readmission for stroke at 12 months was 8.5%, 9.0%, 6.6%, and 4.2% for year 0, 1, 2, and 3, respectively, representing a 50% reduction from baseline year 0. All-cause readmission remained unchanged, at 38.9%, 42.6%, 36.6%, and 37.4% for year 0, 1, 2, and 3 respectively.
Conclusions
Our nurse navigator led stroke transition intervention was associated with significant reduction in readmissions for stroke but did not impact all cause readmission at one year or 30 days. Our focus on Centers for Medicare/Medicaid intervention compliance has produced a sustainable program capable of now expanding to support other important patient needs.
A Drive Interrupted: Stroke of the Anterior Choroidal Artery – A Case Report
Authors: Brown Alex , Varkey Thomas , Singh Savdeep 
Published: May 2024

The anterior choroidal artery (AChA) is the most distal branch of the internal carotid artery (ICA) The ACHA is significant because it supplies important structures in the brain, including the optic tract, anterior portion of cerebral peduncle, lateral geniculate body, uncus, globus pallidus, posterior and superficial areas of the thalamus, and the retrolenticular and posterior portions of the internal capsule on the same side as the artery. Isolated strokes involving the AChA are rare and can result in HHH Syndrome, consisting of contralateral hemiplegia, hemisensory loss, and homonymous hemianopia. Features which distinguish an AChA infarction from larger arterial pathology are lack of headache and lack of depressed level of consciousness in subacute infarction, and usually lack of aphasia acutely. The etiology remains controversial, with proposed mechanisms including cardioembolic, large-vessel atherosclerosis, dissection of the ICA, small-vessel occlusion, and cryptogenic causes. Herein, the authors report a case of an isolated AChA infarction resulting in a right-sided, pure motor hemiparesis with no sensory or vision loss, highly suggestive of cardioembolic origin, with the evaluation of the patient, and eventual treatment strategy.

Published: May 2024

The aim of this study was to assess the oral health status (OHS), Oral health impact profile (OHIP-G-14), and the nutritional status (NS) in community-dwelling, dependent older adults. Information on OHS including DMF(T), plaque (PI) and gingival (GI) indices, community-periodontal-index-for-treatment-needs (CPITN), OHIP-G-14, maximum bite force (MBF), chewing efficiency [subjective (SA) and quantitative (VoH) assessments] were collected. NS was obtained by Mini-nutritional assessment (MNA) and body mass index (BMI). Cognitive status was evaluated by the mini-mental state examination (MMSE). 240 elders (mean-age = 81.5 ± 8.9y; men =85, women =155) were recruited. Average number of teeth, functional occlusal units and DMF(T), were 18.8 ± 8.9, 7.7 ± 3.5, and 22.3 ± 5.3 respectively. Mean PI, GI, CPITN and OHIP-G-14 were 1.8 ± 0.8, 1.2 ± 0.8, 1.9 ± 1.1, and 8.0 ± 12.0, respectively. MBF, VoH, SA were 219.6 ± 193.6, 0.3 ± 0.2, and 3.3 ± 1.4, respectively. MNA and BMI were 22.9 ± 4.7 and 25.5 ± 5.3, respectively. Number of teeth reduced significantly with age (P < 0.001), cognitive decline (P < 0.001). Oral hygiene significantly deteriorated with cognitive decline (P < 0.001). OHIP scores were negatively affected by increasing cognitive decline (P < 0.001). MNA deteriorated in women (P = 0.026), with increasing age (P = 0.015), and advancing cognitive decline (P < 0.001). BMI reduced with advancing age (P = 0.003) and in women (P = 0.016). Based on the findings of this study, it may be concluded that advancing age and cognitive decline, negatively impacted the oral health, oral function, oral health-related quality of life, and the nutritional state of care-dependent community-dwelling older adults.

Background:Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a global health problem with limited therapeutic options. The biochemical mechanisms that lead to this disorder are not yet fully understood, and in this respect, metabolomics represents a promising approach to decipher metabolic events related to AUD. The plasma metabolome contains a plethora of bioactive molecules that reflects the functional changes in host metabolism but also the impact of the gut microbiome and nutritional habits.Methods:In this study, we investigated the impact of severe AUD (sAUD), and of a 3-week period of alcohol abstinence, on the blood metabolome (non-targeted LC-MS metabolomics analysis) in 96 sAUD patients hospitalized for alcohol withdrawal.Results:We found that the plasma levels of different lipids ((lyso)phosphatidylcholines, long-chain fatty acids), short-chain fatty acids (i.e. 3-hydroxyvaleric acid) and bile acids were altered in sAUD patients. In addition, several microbial metabolites, including indole-3-propionic acid, p-cresol sulfate, hippuric acid, pyrocatechol sulfate, and metabolites belonging to xanthine class (paraxanthine, theobromine and theophylline) were sensitive to alcohol exposure and alcohol withdrawal. 3-Hydroxyvaleric acid, caffeine metabolites (theobromine, paraxanthine, and theophylline) and microbial metabolites (hippuric acid and pyrocatechol sulfate) were correlated with anxiety, depression and alcohol craving. Metabolomics analysis in postmortem samples of frontal cortex and cerebrospinal fluid of those consuming a high level of alcohol revealed that those metabolites can be found also in brain tissue.Conclusions:Our data allow the identification of neuroactive metabolites, from interactions between food components and microbiota, which may represent new targets arising in the management of neuropsychiatric diseases such as sAUD.Funding:Gut2Behave project was initiated from ERA-NET NEURON network (Joint Transnational Call 2019) and was financed by Academy of Finland, French National Research Agency (ANR-19-NEUR-0003-03) and the Fonds de la Recherche Scientifique (FRS-FNRS; PINT-MULTI R.8013.19, Belgium). Metabolomics analysis of the TSDS samples was supported by grant from the Finnish Foundation for Alcohol Studies.

ABSTRACT
Australian freshwater turtle populations have declined substantially, with consequent losses to aquatic ecosystem functions. A leading hypothesis is that turtles have declined through lost recruitment caused by high nest predation by invasive foxes. The ‘fox hypothesis’ is supported by experiments showing that nest predation rates exceed 95% in many regions. Furthermore, population surveys have repeatedly found absences of juvenile turtles, and headstarting experiments have successfully replaced those juveniles in some species. We are currently leading a nationwide citizen science program, ‘1 Million Turtles’ (1millionturtles.com), to engage local communities to protect turtles from threats like nest predation using a suite of novel approaches. Our key innovation is to leverage community passion and interest for turtles to create positive conservation impacts via a nationwide support network. We provide a data collection tool and framework (TurtleSAT) and self-guided training in conservation methods. We assist with guidance for gaining licencing and permission, and applying for grants. We are evaluating our approach through both the impacts on turtle populations as well as through surveys of our engaged citizen scientists. Ultimately, we aim to create a science-supported, national grassroots conservation model where community champions can lead their own evidence-based approaches to help wildlife.

This study highlights the varying degrees of tolerance to salinity among different rice genotypes. It's interesting to note that despite rice being considered moderately sensitive to salinity. The phenotypic response of 20 rice genotypes with salt stress at EC=12dsm-1 was assessed under hydroponic condition at reproductive stage through visual scoring. Five genotypes, viz., MCM103,CSR27,MCM151-3-2-1-1 , MCM208-12-1-1, AC39416A demonstrated tolerant and 12 genotypes MCM 100, MCM109, MCM125 , MCM1471-1-2-1 , IR04A115, MCM153-1-1-1-1, MCM106-2-10-2-2, MCM258-8-2-1-1-1 , MCM148-2-1-1-1 , IR18T1045, IR100120-B-B-B-11 and MCM159-3-1-1-1 considered as moderately tolerant in the face of salt stress.Conversely,3 genotypes like FL478 ,BPT5204 ,PUSA44 showed susceptibility.
Operating windows of slot die coating: Comparison of theoretical predictions with experimental observations

Published: May 2010

AbstractThe objective of the present study is to examine the validity of the theoretical predictions on the operating windows of slot die coating. The operating window is defined as a domain inside which stable and uniform coating is possible; different types of coating defects are found outside the window. A flow visualization technique was applied to observe the coating bead, particularly the positions and shapes of the downstream and upstream menisci, just before and after coating defects appear at high coating speeds. Special features of coating bead shapes, which lead to onsets of ribbing and air entrainment, were identified. The two‐dimensional flow in the coating bead region was computed by the commercial software package FLOW‐3D®. Critical features observed experimentally for the onset of coating defects were used to judge whether the coating flow was within the operating window. The theoretically evaluated operating windows were found to be much larger than those determined experimentally in terms of coating speeds. However, the qualitative trends of theoretical predictions agree with experimental observations. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Modification of epoxidised canola oil

Published: May 2010

AbstractEpoxidation of canola oil was carried out using a peroxyacid generated in situ from hydrogen peroxide and a carboxylic acid (acetic or formic acid) in the presence of liquid inorganic acid, H2SO4, as catalyst. Acetic acid was found to be a better oxygen carrier than formic acid as it gave about 11% more conversion of ethylenic unsaturation to oxirane than that given by formic acid under otherwise identical conditions. A high temperature of above 65 °C is significantly unfavourable for achieving high oxirane numbers, as the selectivity to oxirane ring opening reaction increases. Higher concentrations (above 0.5 mol/mol of ethylenic unsaturation) of acetic acid, formic acid or hydrogen peroxide are also detrimental (mainly, the carboxylic acids) but much less than that of the temperature effect. From a detailed process developmental study, the parameters optimised were a temperature of 65 °C, acetic acid‐to‐ethylenic unsaturation molar ratio of 0.5, hydrogen peroxide‐to‐ethylenic unsaturation molar ratio of 1.5 and sulphuric acid loading of 2%. A relative conversion to oxirane of 81% and an iodine value conversion of 86.5% were obtained under the optimum reaction conditions. The formation of the epoxide as well as ring‐opened product of canola was confirmed by FTIR and 1H NMR spectral analysis. From a kinetic analysis, the activation energy of this commercially important reaction was determined to be 10.7 kcal/mol. The findings of this study show that hydroxylated canola oil can be used as a starting material for the lubricant formulations.

Steam gasification of meat and bone meal in a two‐stage fixed‐bed reactor system
Authors: Soni Chirayu G. , Dalai Ajay K. , Pugsley Todd , Fonstad Terry 
Published: May 2010

AbstractGasification of meat and bone meal (MBM) has been carried out using steam in single and two‐stage fixed‐bed reactor systems. The first stage was used for the gasification, while the second stage allowed the thermal cracking and reforming of tar as well as some additional secondary reactions to take place. The effects of temperature (650–850 °C) in both stages, steam/MBM (wt/wt) (0.4–0.8), and second‐stage packed‐bed height (40–100 mm) on product distribution (char, liquid and gas) and gas composition (H2, CO, CO2, CH4, C2H4, other H/C) were studied. It was observed that a higher reaction temperature (850 °C) favored high gas and hydrogen yields. Hydrogen yield was increased from 36.2 to 47.1 vol% with an increase in steam/MBM (wt/wt), while an increase in the packed‐bed height increased gas (29.5–31.6 wt%) and hydrogen (45–49.2 vol%) yields.
