Authors: Fu Sida , Li Haidong , Liu Hongtao , Zhao Yan , Xu Zhiguang 
Published: March 2024

AbstractIn this study, superoleophobic and superhydrophilic fabrics with self-healing property have been prepared by the use of chitosan (CS), sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP), Capstone FS-60 (FS-60), and dopamine hydrochloride as coating materials. The coated fabrics show oil contact angle of 154° for soybean oil, and water droplets can be spread on the surface in 1 s. Notably, it is further demonstrated that the coating has self-healing property. After undergoing home laundering, Martindale abrasion, or acid/base etching, the fabrics lose their superoleophobic and superhydrophilic property, while they can restore the superoleophobic and superhydrophilic property by just being wetted with distilled water and then heated in an oven. Additionally, the coated fabrics prove effective in separating oil/water mixtures. These fabrics, endowed with superoleophobic and superhydrophilic property along with self-healing capability, present innovative features and applications across diverse fields.

The phase transition temperatures for amorphous metals based on aluminum Al87(Ni,Fe)8(REM)5 system were determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The mechanisms of formation and growth of nanocrystals in an amorphous matrix were predicted using kinetic models (Matusita model). It was found that after annealing at the temperature of stable nanocrystalline growth, an X-ray amorphous structure with a volume fraction of disordered nanocrystalline phases of solid state of Al(X), GdFe2, AlFe2Ni, GdFe2 for the amorphous metal alloy (AMA) Al87Y4Gd1Ni4Fe4 alloy and microcrystalline phases of solid state of Al(X), GdFe2 AlFe2Ni for the Al87Gd5Ni4Fe4 alloy are formed, which significantly affects the mechanical properties of the Al87(Ni,Fe)8(REM)5 system. The effect of annealing on the mechanical properties of amorphous aluminum-based alloys was investigated using Oliver-Pharr and Young's modulus methods it was found that thermal modification of AMAs: Al87Gd5Ni4Fe4 as a result of heat treatment of AMAs from 5 to 15 min., the microhardness increases from 0.20 GPa to 2.75 GPa, and when heat treated for 60 min at a temperatures of T3 = 645±5 K, 647±5 K, it decreases to 0.35 GPa and 0.45 GPa, respectively.

Published: March 2024

OBJECTIVES
To assess effects of a Simulation-Based Discharge Education Program (SDP) on long-term caregiver-reported satisfaction and to compare clinical outcomes for children with new tracheostomies whose caregivers completed SDP versus controls.

METHODS
The study employed a mixed methods approach: (1) a qualitative analysis of feedback from caregivers who previously completed SDP, and (2) a quantitative retrospective case-control study comparing outcomes between children with new tracheostomies whose caregivers completed SDP versus controls, matched on discharge disposition and age. The primary outcome was emergency department visits for tracheostomy-related issues within 1 year of discharge.

RESULTS
Feedback from 18 interviews was coded into 5 themes: knowledge acquisition, active learning, comfort and preparedness, home application of skills, and overall assessment. Caregivers of 27 children (median age 26 months [interquartile range (IQR) 5.5 months–11 years]) underwent SDP training. Clinical outcomes of these children were compared with 27 matched children in the non-SDP group (median age 16 months [IQR 3.5 months–10 years]). There was no significant difference in ED visits for tracheostomy-related complications within 1 year of discharge between the SDP group and non-SDP group (2 [IQR 0–2] vs 1 [IQR 0–2], P = .2).

CONCLUSIONS
Caregivers reported overwhelmingly positive experiences with SDP that persisted even 4 years after training. Caregiver participation in SDP did not yield a significant difference in ED visits within 1 year of discharge for tracheostomy-related complications compared with control counterparts. Future steps will identify more effective methods for comparing and analyzing clinical outcomes to further validate impacts of simulation-based programs.

Published: March 2024

Background: Breast cancer is several of the worst severe illnesses for women, which influences their physical and mental quality of life and acceptance of their bodies. It affects patients' views of their bodies; thus, finding effective coping mechanisms is essential.

Objective: This study aimed to discover body image and its relation with coping mechanisms in breast cancer patients admitted to Hiwa Hematology/Oncology Hospital in Sulaimaniyah, Iraq.

Materials & Methods: This Cross-sectional study was conducted on women diagnosed with breast cancer admitted to the Hiwa Hematology/Oncology Hospital Sulaimaniyah, Iraq. A three-part questionnaire was utilized to gather information to determine body image and coping mechanisms that were demographic and clinical form, body image scale and Coping Orientation to coping or regulating cognitions in response to stressors (Brief-COPE).

Results: The mean score for the body image was reported as 7.86±7.73, the mean score for coping strategies, including problem-focused /active coping strategies items was reported as 2.74±0.67, and functional items as 2.82±0.43. Considering the calculated mean scores, the distress or concerns of the participants about their body image were lower. The most frequent coping strategies were religious coping (3.88±0.32), while the least active coping approach was humor (1.96±1.08). Self-distraction (3.13±1.03) was the least avoidant coping strategy. A significant positive relationship between the coping strategies with body image was reported as (p=0.032, r=0.200).

Conclusions: Good body image in women was associated with increased usage of practical acceptance. Therefore, it is advised to promote a positive view of physical appearance and having skilled nurses assess all breast cancer patients' capacity for coping following surgery. Nurses and patients can effectively communicate about body image and coping techniques through these assessments.

Authors: Karim Kazhwast , Al-Ethawi Ali 
Published: March 2024

Background: Rosacea is an inflammatory skin disease characterized by erythema and flushing, where topical medications are challenging to control and treat.

Objectives: To investigate the effect of systemic propranolol/doxycycline in treating facial flushing and erythema in patients with rosacea.

Patients and Methods: This randomized control trial study was conducted on 51 patients with rosacea referred to the Sulaimani Dermatology Teaching Center, Sulaimaniyah, Iraq, from October 2021 to August 2022. Among the studied patients, 31 patients were taking oral propranolol, 28 of them did finish the course, while 20 patients were treated with oral doxycycline, 18 of them finished the treatment. Patients have been seen in 5 sessions (12-week treatments), and in each session, the patient's health status, the recovery process of the disease and vital signs have been checked and recorded.

Results: The mean age of patients age was 46.65±10.38 years. Most patients were females (65.2%), did not take any drugs (78.4%), did not have a history of illness in the family (82.6%), had skin type 2, and had flushing distribution in the forehead, nose, cheek, and chin. The most common symptom in patients was a burning sensation, followed by a burning and tingling sensation. The most common sign in both groups was erythema. Propranolol positively affected clinical erythema assessment, area, telangiectasia, total erythema score, systolic/diastolic blood pressure and heart rate. Thus, in 5 visits, erythema was significantly reduced in the propranolol group compared to the doxycycline group (p≤0.002). So that after the 5 visits the CAT score was shown that erythema was significantly reduced in the propranolol group compared to the doxycycline group (p≤0.001).

Conclusions: Propranolol was more effective than doxycycline in the treatment of rosacea’s flushing and erythema.

Published: March 2024

Background: The most frequent benign disease affecting women of reproductive age is uterine leiomyoma. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is the current state of art imaging modality for localization and characterization.

Objective: To determine the relevance of MRI in the Characterization and management of leiomyoma and to analyze clinical practice advantages of MRI findings.

Patients and Methods: This study included 50 individuals with uterine fibroids detected By trans-abdominal or trans-vaginal US. MRI was done to confirm, characterize and pinpoint their exact location and any abnormal characterization.

Results: There was a significant (p≤0.05) association between the impression of fibroid (non-degenerated, degenerated leiomyoma), post-gadolinium enhancement of fibroid and histopathological findings. There was no significant relationship between MRI (T1-weighted image) results, and MRI (T2-weighted image), their histological findings, and management.

Conclusions: leiomyomas can provide a standard signal during MR imaging, but larger tumour may display a variety of degeneration patterns that significantly alter the look of the lesion. MRI provide better fibroid characterization, helps differentiate degenerated from non-degenerated leiomyoma and guides in choosing safe and better management procedure.

Published: March 2024

Cesarean scar pregnancy is a rare type of ectopic pregnancy but potentially life threatening. The incidence of this ectopic pregnancy continues to rise due to global increase in cesarean sections rates as well as the diagnosis with wide use of transvaginal ultrasound. Delay or wrong diagnosis may result to uterine rupture and life-threatening bleeding with potential maternal morbidity and mortality. Endo-vaginal ultrasound has a reported sensitivity of 85-90% for detection. In difficult cases, magnetic resonance imaging is often useful as second line imaging. Treatment may be ranging from conservative to medical therapy or surgery. We present a series of three illustrative cases successfully managed with medical management and sequential treatment of medical and surgical management. We discuss diagnostic challenges and review of literature on updates on management strategies.

Relevance. Although there is notable success in breeding vegetable crops to obtain heterotic F1 hybrids, traditional selection methods have been gaining in popularity as a means of improving the economically important traits of local traditional varieties in Russia today. These varieties suffered the reduction in their valuable starting parameters (yield, the uniformity of marketable produce and biochemical composition) over the many years of reproduction. The Department of Potato Breeding and Horticulture (FSBSI “FSC of Agricultural Biotechnology of the Far East named after A. K. Chaiki”) have been working on the creation of new squash variety-populations with large fruits using the variety-population Banannaya 42, bred by V. Ya. Smolei at the Far Eastern experimental station of the All-Union Scientific Research Institute of Plant Breeding in the 1940s, as the starting material. We carried out a multi-year research on the selection of promising families belonging to this variety to increase yield, improve the uniformity of fruits and the main biochemical parameters. Results. The breeding work conducted on the families of variety-population 945 in 2011-2022 resulted in the improvement of some economically important traits (the uniformity of fruit shape, yield, and biochemical parameters) compared to the started form. The eleven years of research allowed us to achieve high uniformity of fruit shape in the selection of the ninth year (PIP 2) – 90.0-90.7 % (increased by 34.9-36.0 %). The yield increased from 28.4 t/ha to 38.2-45.3 t/ha or by 34.5-59.5 %. The following biochemical parameters were improved through selection: the content of dry mater from 8.5 to 12.9 % or by 51.8 % on average, the content of sugars from 6.1 to 9.1 or by 49.2 %, the content of carotene from 1.7 to 3.8 or by 123.5 %, and the content of vitamin C from 9.6 to 21.1 or by 119.8 %. We selected the families of the same type from variety-population 945 (variety-population Banata) with improved and uniform economically important traits for submission to the State variety testing. The yield was 38.2-45.3 t/ha, fruits were heart-shaped, skin was greyish green, pulp was orange, and the content of sugars was 9.0-13.2 %. Large-fruited variety population Banata was included in the State register of breeding achievements admitted to use in the Russian Federation in 2024.

Introduction. The relevance of the work is due to the need to find ways to preserve the nutrient composition of vitamins and other necessary raw materials to create finished food products that can diversify the diet of astronauts, taking into account their habitat. Goal – Comparison of methods for dehydrating plant materials and creating finished food products with a certain degree of dehydration, recommended for feeding astronauts. These methods were used to produce so-called “frips” from fresh fruits and berries; this is a type of snack that is also widely used and developed in modern industry. Objects and methods of research. The objects of the study were several types of fruits and berries of various varieties (minimum 2) during dehydration by several types of drying. Results. Dehydration using the LTVD (low temperature vacuum drying) method makes it possible to obtain finished products with a given final moisture content, and the product can be made from multi-component raw materials. The duration of the dehydration process using the LTVD method compared to the VFD (vacuum freeze drying) method is reduced by approximately 10-20 % depending on the product, while due to the absence of preliminary freezing, the specific energy costs for drying a food object can presumably be reduced by 15-25 %. Quality indicators of the finished dry product The product dried using the presented methods is comparable, the content of vitamins and microelements is at almost the same level, therefore, when choosing the type of drying, we can recommend the LTVD method as less energy-consuming. The yield of marketable products in the production of frips ranges from 15.0 to 19.5 % by weight of the initial raw materials, which meets the requirements for economic efficiency of production.

Relevance. Tomato is the most widespread vegetable crop in the southern regions of Russia and one of the most popular with the population in all natural and climatic zones of the country. The majority of products is produced in large vegetable-growing, farming and private household farms. One of the most important tasks is to improve the assortment taking into account natural and climatic conditions of cultivation and directions of use. In this regard, the selection of industrial tomato with a high level of flexibility and resistance to biotic and abiotic stressors for the south of Russia is an urgent task. The aim of the study is to evaluate economically valuable features of perspective lines and new hybrids of tomato of industrial type, adapted to the conditions of southern Russia. Material and methodology. The work was carried out in the open field conditions of experimental production farm of the Federal Scientific Center of Vegetable Industry (Moscow region) and Biryuchekutskaya vegetable breeding experimental station – branch of the FSBSI FSVC (Rostov region). The objects of research were breeding material and 6 perspective new hybrid combinations of tomato of selection of the Federal State Budgetary Scientific and Scientific Institution of the Russian Federation. Results and discussion. As a result of step-by-step study and selection, the most promising samples were identified for further use as source material for practical breeding: B-6-C-2014, VS-B-№7, VS-B-18, VS-B-20, VS-B-35, VS-B-38. As a result of the competitive testing, the best hybrid combinations were identified: F1 B-1, F1 B-2, F1 B-4, meeting the requirements of commercial production in the south of Russia. It is shown that the hybrid combination F1 B-2 exceeds both standard samples F1 Meteor and F1 Perfectpeel both in terms of total yield (by 10.9 t/ha and 9.6 t/ha), marketability of fruits, and dry matter content in fruits (6.1 % vs. 5.1% and 5.2 %). Taking into account the complex of economic characteristics, a precocious F1 hybrid of tomato F1 B-2 called F1 Profy has been submitted to the State Variety Testing, as it shows stable economic characteristics over several years of study.
