Sporadic hemiplegic migraine with aura-induced psychosis: A case report
Authors: Alsubaiey Maha 
Published: April 2024

Abstract

Background
Hemiplegic migraine is a rare form of migraine with aura that causes fully reversible motor weakness along with other reversible sensory, visual and/or speech/language symptoms. There are two forms of hemiplegic migraine: a familial type and a sporadic type. There are few case reports that mention the presentation of psychosis in the familiar type. In this case report, we present a sporadic form that present with psychotic symptoms. Also, will present the effect of lamotrigine as a treatment option.
Case presentation
This is a case report of an 18-year-old girl who is known to have migraine and schizophrenia ,and weretreated with olanzapine for psychosis. She presented to the ED following a severe migraine attack and unilateral motor weakness that progressed later to labile mood, hyperphagia, lapses in memory, confusion and eventually to catatonic stupor. During the inpatient admission, further assessment took place, and her diagnosis of schizophrenia was changed to sporadic hemiplegic migraine. She later reported that she develops auditory and visual hallucinations only after severe migraine attacks. The hallucinations vanish within 24-48 hours after the headache resolves.
Conclusion
Complex auditory and visual hallucinations could be associated with sporadic hemiplegic migraine. There are no case reports that documented the association of sporadic form and psychosis, and further studies should be conducted.
Antipsychotic (Olanzapine) was successful in treating and preventing psychosis associated with hemiplegic migraine, but it had no effect in reducing migraine severity and frequency. Lamotrigine showed more than 50% subjective improvement in patient migraine’s frequency and intensity and decreased the episodes of psychosis associated with it.

Published: April 2024

Abstract
In the contemporary business landscape, characterized by rapid globalization, technological advancements, and intensifying competition, supply chain integration (SCI) and entrepreneurial performance emerge as critical determinants of organizational success and sustainability. While previous research has acknowledged the significance of both phenomena individually, limited attention has been paid to their interconnectedness, particularly within the context of strategic partnerships. This qualitative investigation aims to fill this gap by exploring the intricate relationship between SCI, strategic partnerships, and entrepreneurial performance through in-depth interviews and thematic analysis. The study examines how strategic partnerships influence supply chain dynamics and entrepreneurial outcomes, shedding light on the mechanisms through which partnerships drive collaboration, innovation, and value creation within integrated supply chains. The findings reveal the strategic importance of partnerships in enhancing SCI and fostering entrepreneurial activities, emphasizing the role of trust, communication, and shared accountability in partnership success. Moreover, the study offers practical insights for organizations seeking to leverage strategic partnerships to enhance competitiveness and sustainability, highlighting the importance of building strong relationships, fostering open communication, and embracing digital technologies. Overall, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness between SCI, strategic partnerships, and entrepreneurial performance, offering valuable implications for theory, practice, and future research.

Purpose. To determine the stability of seed producti­vity of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) varieties. Methods. The research on common two­coloured grain sorghum varieties (‘Arabesk’, ‘Arkan’, ‘ES Villy’ and ‘Stepovyi’) was conducted in 2018–2020 in the Forest­Steppe zone on the experimental fields of the Poltava, Vinnytsia and Cherkasy branches of the Ukrainian Institute for Plant Variety Examination (UIPVE). In accordance with the «Methodology for the examination of plant varieties of the group of cereals, grains and legumes for their suitability for distribution in Ukraine», trials were set up, material evaluated, phenological observations and biometric measurements of plants made and harvested. Seed quality indicators were determined in accordance with the “Methodology for the qualification examination of plant varieties for their suitability for distribution in Ukraine. Methods of quality determination”. The study used field, laboratory, biochemical and statistical methods. Results. Optimal conditions of the Forest­Steppe ensured timely onset of phenological phases of plant growth and development and insignificant variation of vegetation period from 117 to 123 days. Productivity of sorghum was estimated by quantitative indicators of seed yield per plant and weight of 1000 seeds. Conclusions. The Levis coefficient CS.F was calculated to characterise the phenotypic stability of varie­ties. The results showed that ‘ES Villy’ (1.00) and ‘Stepovyi’ (1.06) were stable in the experimental field of the Poltava branch of UIPVE. The conditions of Vinnytsia and Poltava branches were more favourable for the formation of high quality bicoloured sorghum grain and larger weight of 1000 seeds.
Impact of chick mash, rice bran, and wheat bran as starter feeds on the performance of black soldier fly larvae in food waste treatment
Authors: Okeyo Dan Odhiambo , Wandera Simon Mdondo , Messo James 
Published: April 2024

ABSTRACT

Inadequate management of food waste (FW) has contributed to environmental degradation. Bioconversion of FW using black soldier fly larvae has proven to be a safe and cost-effective method for FW management. However, limited studies exist on the influence of starter feeds. The impact of rice bran, wheat bran, and chick mash as starter feeds was evaluated by investigating the optimal larval weight, substrate reduction, feed conversion ratio (FCR), and bioconversion rate (BCR) of the larvae after initial treatment in rice bran (T1), wheat bran (T2), chick mash (T3), and control (T4). The highest mean larval weight observed was 0.22 g in T3 followed by 0.18, 0.16, and 0.13 g in T2, T4, and T1, respectively. A similar trend was observed for substrate reduction and BCR. Nevertheless, the obtained substrate reduction range of 75.5–82.8% was comparable with the published ranges. The best performance in T3 may be attributed to high protein and nitrogen content in chick mash, while the lowest performance is attributed to high ash content in rice bran, which negatively affected the BCR. It can be concluded that the physico-chemical properties of the starter feeds strongly determine the growth and development of larvae.
Quality of Life in Palliative Care: A Systematic Meta-Review of Reviews and Meta-Analyses
Authors: Demuro Mauro , Bratzu Elisa , Lorrai Stefano , Preti Antonio 
Published: April 2024

Background
The area of palliative care is a setting in which the evaluation of the quality of life (QoL) is fundamental. However, the topic has been covered from many different points of view, and there is a lack of comprehensive synthesis of the evidence drawn from the available literature.

Objective
We carried out a meta-review of all available systematic reviews and meta-analyses that have dedicated part or most of the investigation to the assessment of QoL in palliative care to provide the most updated and comprehensive depiction of all available information about measurement and intervention aimed at improving QoL in palliative care.

Methods
A meta-review of all recent (5 years) available systematic reviews and meta-analyses on “palliative care” and “quality of life” was carried out. The quality of the extracted studies was assessed with the AMSTAR scale.

Results
The search extracted 24 systematic reviews, 14 systematic reviews followed by a meta-analysis on a subset of data, and 2 meta-analyses. In many studies, the investigation of QoL represented a secondary or even marginal outcome. In general, the results supported the efficacy of palliative care in terminal patients or patients with a permanent disability. However, the quality of the studies had a strong influence on the chance that some improvement in QoL was found in relation to palliative care. Studies of lower quality were more likely to report some efficacy of palliative care than studies with better quality.

Conclusion
The investigation of QoL in palliative care is understudied. In many studies, QoL is a secondary outcome, and there is some tendency to use a disparate range of tools to measure it, whose reliability and validity should still be established in some groups of patients.

Authors: Tarawneh Bashar , Nusairat Jamal , Sargand Shad M. , Merklin Christopher , White Kevin 
Published: April 2024

Background
Soil-bearing spread footings (SBSF) are emerging as an increasingly attractive option for supporting highway structures. SBSF offers numerous benefits compared to deep foundations, including cost-effectiveness, accelerated construction, straightforward design, environmentally friendly characteristics, and reduced maintenance requirements.

Objective
The primary objective of this study is to assess the performance of highway structures that SBSF supports at four specific locations in Ohio. The findings from this assessment will serve as valuable recommendations for the future application of spread footings while identifying potential usage constraints.

Methods
The project team conducted a comprehensive review of documented performance data, assessed the effectiveness of existing footings, and compared these assessments against established structural performance criteria. Additionally, the team analyzed calculated settlements, provided an estimate of acceptable structural settlement, compared measured settlements with predicted values, and examined the relationship between performance and soil conditions.

Results
The data gathered, and field assessments conducted at all four sites encompassed in this investigation affirm that SBSF structures function as designed, displaying no signs of settlements or cracks associated with rideability. Both measured and calculated settlements fall within acceptable tolerances. While all structures exhibited acceptable levels of differential settlement, one encountered a differential settlement of approximately 54 mm between substructures, attributed to cohesive soil (A-6) in deeper layers.

Conclusion
SBSF structures were constructed by the manuals and guidelines established by the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) and exhibited satisfactory performance. This paper also offers recommendations for settlement monitoring methods and plan notes that should be incorporated into the Ohio Department of Transportation's practices.

Authors: M B Sreenivasa , Nagesh M. , Uppara Raghubabu 
Published: April 2024

Background
Inorganic corrosion inhibitors and surface coatings have a number of drawbacks, such as high costs, toxicity to the environment, poor degradation, and environmental pollution. Green plant-derived corrosion inhibitors are being investigated extensively as a potentially useful substitute for conventional toxicity inhibitors.

Objective
In this study, we have tried to employ Calotropis gigantea and Azadirachta indica as environmentally friendly inhibitors to improve the chloride-induced corrosion resistance of reinforcing steel in concrete. The inhibitor efficiency of environmentally friendly inhibitors has been compared with chemical inhibitors and surface coatings.

Methods
The half-cell method and the linear polarization resistance method have been used to investigate the corrosion inhibition properties of steel bars embedded in cylindrical concrete specimens with different types of green inhibitors, chemical inhibitors, and surface coatings.

Results
The addition of Calotropis gigantea and Azadirachta indica leaf extracts to fresh concrete demonstrated a positive impact on corrosion resistance with control mixes. The efficiency of corrosion resistance increased with chemical inhibitors and surface coatings. Corrosion resistance has been found to be higher in concrete samples coated with surface coatings. From the results, surface coating has been found to exhibit the highest efficiency than the chemical and green inhibitors.

Conclusion
Overall, the study has demonstrated that, in cases of chloride contamination, surface coatings, particularly polyurethane ones, can provide protection against rebar corrosion. Organic inhibitors have shown promise as non-toxic, environmentally benign substitutes, despite their lower effectiveness.

Published: April 2024

Background
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of dental polishing and topical application of neutral fluoride after bleaching with 35% hydrogen peroxide (HP35%) without remineralizing bioactive components in its composition on the surface roughness (SR) of tooth enamel.

Material and Methods
Fifty healthy bovine incisors were divided into five groups (n=10 each): G1, without treatment (only stored in artificial saliva); G2, dental bleaching with HP35%; G3, dental bleaching with HP35% + tooth polishing with diamond paste; G4, tooth whitening with HP35% + topical application of fluoride; G5, dental bleaching with HP35% + tooth polishing with diamond paste + topical application of fluoride. SR readings were taken at times T0 (before treatment) and T1 (after treatment). Data were analyzed using analysis of variance for samples related to Tukey's post hoc test.

Results

The lowest mean roughness was observed in G3 at T1 (0.123 Ra) and the highest mean in G1 at T0 (0.198 Ra). However, the values of all groups at T1 were not statistically different (p˃0.05) from the T0 values.

Conclusion
Coronal polishing and topical application of neutral sodium fluoride did not interfere with the roughness of the enamel bleached with a gel without remineralizing agents in its composition.

Authors: Tigunova Olena O. , Rakhmetov Dzhamal B. , Blume Yaroslav B. , Shulga Sergiy M. 
Published: April 2024

Background
The global energy challenge has recently prompted biotechnological research to explore new non-food substrates of plant origin for obtaining liquid biofuels. One of the important areas of research is the process of pretreatment and further use of non-grain biomass (lignocellulose) as a substrate for bioconversion to higher alcohols.

Objective
The aim of this work was to determine the macrocomponent composition and biochemical characteristics of sweet sorghum [Sorghum saccharatum (L.) Moench], select an effective bacterial culture for fermentation of the non-grain part of sorghum biomass as a substrate for obtaining biobutanol, and elaborate the best protective medium and storage temperature for lyophilization of the producer.

Methods
This work was conducted using butanol producing strains Clostridium sp. UCM B-7570, Clostridium acetobutylicum UCM B-7407, and C. tyrobutylicum IFBG C4B from the “Collection of Microorganism Strains and Plant Lines for Agricultural and Industrial Biotechnology” of the Institute of Food Biotechnology and Genomics of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. The bacterial cultures were cultivated on the sweet sorghum biomass provided by the National Botanical Garden named after M. M. Gryshko of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. A gas chromatograph was used to determine the presence of ethanol, acetone, and butanol in the cultural liquid.

Results
It has been established that the proposed improvement of the biobutanol production process made it possible to obtain 8 g/dm3 of the target product from 60 g of dry green biomass of sweet sorghum of the Energodar variety. The composition of the protective medium for drying the Clostridium sp. UCM B-7570 culture and its storage period in the lyophilic form have been optimized.

Conclusion
The obtained results demonstrate the possibility of using the biomass of different varieties of sweet sorghum as a substrate for obtaining biobutanol, and the optimized storage conditions of the Clostridium sp. UCM B-7570 culture can minimize the possibility of its degradation.

Authors: Kusumiyati Kusumiyati , Taira Eizo , Maulana Yusuf Eka 
Published: April 2024

Introduction
Capsicum spp., commonly known as peppers or chili peppers, are essential horticultural crops. The unique flavors, pungency levels, and nutritional profiles of these peppers are determined by a complex composition of quality compounds such as antioxidant activity, capsaicin, and dihydrocapsaicin. Assessing and quantifying these compounds is crucial for both agricultural and industrial purposes.

Methods
This research provides fresh insight into the use of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to investigate quality compounds in Capsicum spp., such as antioxidant activity, capsaicin, and dihydrocapsaicin. The NIRS utilized wavelengths ranging from 702 to 1065 nm with intervals of 3 nm. The total sample size was 400, consisting of 7 varieties of Capsicum spp., including cayenne pepper 'Domba', 'Manik', and 'Ratuni', as well as red chili peppers 'CB2', 'Tanjung 2', 'Lingga', and 'Tanjung'. The sample was divided into a calibration (n=300) and a prediction set (n=100), and then modeling was carried out using statistical software.

Results
Accuracy values for antioxidant activity, capsaicin, and dihydrocapsaicin obtained were Rcal ≤ 0.86, Rpred ≤ 0.79, RMSEC ≤ 28.16, RMSEP ≤ 34.58, and RPD ≤ 1.66.

Conclusion
These findings suggested that NIRS is a rapid and precise method for investigating quality compounds in Capsicum spp., such as antioxidant activity, capsaicin, and dihydrocapsaicin.
Psychometric Properties and Factor Structure of the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale among Korean University Students during COVID-19
Authors: Jeong Hyelin , Lee Boram 
Published: April 2024

Background
The Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A) is a 14-item instrument that is extensively used in clinical and epidemiological studies to determine the presence of anxiety symptoms. Despite the widespread application of the HAM-A in research, it remains unclear whether the instrument’s construct is best represented as uni- or multidimensional. This study aimed to assess the reliability and construct validity of the Korean version of the HAM-A through its factor structure.

Methods
Accordingly, a cross-sectional design was employed to conduct an online survey with 252 university students enrolled in an undergraduate degree program for 4 years in South Korea during the recent coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Confirmatory factor analyses (CFAs) were employed to identify the two-factorial structure of the instrument, i.e., psychic/psychological and somatic.

Results
The results revealed that the reliability and item characteristics were favorable. Confirmatory factor analyses identified a two-factorial structure of psychic/psychological and somatic with a moderate correlation between the two latent constructs, thus suggesting a single overarching construct of anxiety.

Conclusion
Our findings suggest that the Korean version of HAM-A was found to be a valid and reliable instrument that can be employed to screen Korean university students for anxiety.
