The Roman army in Provincia Arabia: Old and new documents from Umm al-Jimāl (Jordan)
Authors: Aliquot Julien , Hazza Muaffaq 
Published: March 2024

Abstract – This article offers the editio princeps of two epigraphic documents recently discovered in the southern, Jordanian part of Ḥawrān at Umm al-Jimāl, south of Bostra, the capital of the Roman province of Arabia. The first inscription is a Greek dedication of an altar that a beneficiarius addressed to Zeus Keraunios under the Severi. The second is a Latin inscription dealing with the building of a tower in the fourth century ce under the authority of the dux Flavius Maximinus. The publication of both texts provides an opportunity to review the sources relating to presence of the Roman army at Umm al-Jimāl from the creation of Provincia Arabia (106 ce) to the reign of Justinian (527-565 ce). On a broader level, the aim is to contribute to the ongoing discussion of the relationships between soldiers, villagers, and nomads in the limes Arabicus.
Role of Ayurveda in the Management of Becker Muscular Dystrophy: A Case Study
Authors: Bohra Mohita 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Muscular dystrophies are a group of genetic disorders that lead to a gradual weakening of muscles, resulting in increased disability over time. Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) is one such condition and is inherited through an X-linked recessive pattern, primarily affecting males. Symptoms of BMD typically begin in the teenage years or late twenties. Initial signs may include muscle cramps during exercise and reduced stamina. Over time, there is a gradual loss of muscle bulk in the hips, pelvis, thighs, and shoulders, often leading to a tendency to walk on toes. In Ayurveda, the factors contributing to this disease are believed to be an aggravation of Vata (one of the three doshas), depletion of Mamsa (muscle tissue), and Meda (fat tissue), impaired digestive fire, and blockage of functional channels (Srotorodha). The present case involved a 15-year-old male with weakness in both lower limbs for 4 years, a decrease in muscle mass around the pelvic and thigh area for 3 years, and an increase in calf muscle size for 3 years. The patient exhibited pseudohypertrophy in both calf muscles and positive Gower’s sign, along with a positive family history and elevated creatine phosphokinase levels, leading to a diagnosis of BMD. The treatment approach incorporated Panchakarma therapies and internal Ayurvedic formulations in line with the management of Sarvang Vata disorder. The treatment was administered in four sessions, with a 3-month gap between each therapy session. After a year of treatment, there was not only a halt in the progression of the disease but also a notable improvement in lower limb strength, which increased from 4 to 4+. In addition, there was an increase in proximal muscle mass, from 12.5 inches to 13 inches, and a reduction in calf muscle size and tightness. This promising outcome suggests the potential for managing the disease using Ayurvedic principles and therapies.

Published: March 2024

Abstract
Orbital cavernous hemangioma is the most common benign vascular tumor of the orbit. They are gradually developing, painless tumors causing most frequently axial proptosis. It comprises a compact, tough, fibrous capsule covering a thrombosed, and septate venous convolution. The two main imaging techniques advised are magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT), with the preference for MRI as it minimizes radiation exposure. We report a case of a 21-year-old female presented with protrusion of the left eye for 1 year. Examination revealed 6/6 vision in both eyes on Snellen’s chart. Color vision, contrast sensitivity, and visual fields were normal. The patient exhibited axial proptosis. On contrast-enhanced CT of orbit and contrast-enhanced MRI of the brain and orbit, she was found to have mass in the retrobulbar intraconal region. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice in symptomatic patients. A multidisciplinary team, including the ophthalmology and neurosurgery departments, performed the surgery. With careful dissection complete excision of the lesion was done. The postoperative vision was 6/6 in both eyes. Lid edema, ptosis, and limitation of extraocular movements were resolved in subsequent follow-ups. There was resolution of the proptosis with a good visual outcome. This report emphasizes the need for prompt surgical intervention with complete removal of the tumor to prevent recurrence and bleeding.
Practical aspects of color vision deficiency

Published: March 2024

Abstract
Color vision deficiency (CVD) is a nontreatable medical condition that can inflict issues in an individual’s life in every aspect. People who have CVD struggle in daily life, in early learning and development, in school, when choosing a career, and in their performance at work. A brief understanding of the neurophysiology of color vision, its pathology, and the ramifications of CVD in people’s lives including psychosocial effects can bring enough awareness in the community to deal with the issue at hand. The practical and medicolegal aspects of CVD also need to be discussed as the scarcity of such studies and cognizance among the public pose problems and confusion in society, which needs to be rectified.

Published: March 2024

Abstract
Apert syndrome (AS) is a form of acrocephalosyndactyly, which is characterized by craniosynostosis, midfacial hypoplasia, and symmetrical syndactyly of the hands and feet. A 3-year-old female with craniosynostosis, high-arched palate, syndactyly, strabismus, and diagnosed as a case of Apert syndrome was brought to the outpatient department. Strabismus evaluation revealed 35 prism diopters of left convergent squint. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain and orbit revealed hypoplastic extraocular muscles. A plan to carry out a bilateral medial rectus recession was made. However, intraoperatively, normal-sized muscles were found and the plan was modified to carry out only a left eye medial rectus recession of 5.5 mm. The patient was orthophoric postoperatively, indicating the unusual postoperative outcome in such a case. This report aimed to underline the challenges of managing a case of strabismus and the variable postoperative outcomes encountered in a case of Apert syndrome.

A chemical kinetics theory for interpreting the non-monotonic temperature dependence of enzymatic reactions
Authors: Tang Jinyun , Riley William J. 
Published: March 2024

Abstract. One notable observation of enzymatic chemical reactions is that, for a given abundance of enzymes and substrates, temperature increases cause reaction rates to first increase consistent with the Arrhenius relationship, then plateau, and finally fall off quickly to zero at high temperatures. While many mathematical functions have been used to describe this pattern, we here propose a chemical kinetics theory which successfully replicates this observation and provides insights into the processes responsible for these dynamics. The chemical kinetics theory combines the law of mass action, von Smoluchowski's diffusion-limited chemical reaction theory, and Eyring's transition state theory. This new theory reveals that the thermally reversible enzyme denaturation ensured by the ceaseless thermal motion of molecules and ions in an enzyme solution explains the plateau and subsequent decrease in chemical reaction rates with increasing temperature. The temperature-dependent affinity parameter (K) that relates enzymes and substrates through their binding also affects the shape of the emergent temperature response. We demonstrate that with an increase in substrate availability, K shifts the optimal temperature, where reaction rates plateau, towards higher values. Further, we show that the chemical kinetics theory accurately represents 12 sets of published enzyme assay data and includes the popular mechanistic model by Ratkowsky et al. (2005) as a special case. Given its good performance and solid theoretical underpinning, we believe this new theory will facilitate the construction of more mechanistic-based environmental biogeochemical models.
Microbial plankton occurrence database in the North American Arctic region: synthesis of recent diversity of potentially toxic and harmful algae

Published: March 2024

Abstract. The Arctic Ocean is currently undergoing significant transformations due to climate change, leading to profound changes in its microbial planktonic communities. These communities consist of a wide range of organisms, including photoautotrophic prokaryotes and eukaryotes, as well as heterotrophic, phagotrophic, and mixotrophic protistan species. Here, for simplicity, we refer to these single-celled species as phytoplankton. Within this diversity, potentially toxic and/or harmful algal species (hereafter abbreviated as “HA”) are of particular concern. These organisms have the potential to spread into Arctic waters, posing threats to both human and ecosystem health. Despite their importance, the spatial and temporal distribution of phytoplankton communities, including HA species, in the North American Arctic, remains poorly understood. To address this gap, we compiled and synthesized the largest possible body of data from different databases, individual published and unpublished datasets, and partitioned it into nine regions based on the Large Marine Ecosystem classification. Our dataset contains 385 800 individual georeferenced data points and 18 268 unique sampling events, revealing greater diversity than previously thought, with 1445 unique taxa. Heterokontophyta (which notably included diatoms) and Dinoflagellata were the most dominant phyla. Our results indicate distinct spatial patterns of diversity, with the highest diversity observed in Atlantic-influenced regions of the North American Arctic. For most of the HA species recorded in our database, no evidence was found for an increase in the northernmost latitude where HA species are observed over the years, meaning that there is no substantial spread of HA species into the North American part of the Arctic. Our study challenges the traditional view of the Arctic as being unsuitable for toxin-producing and harmful algae and highlights the importance of extensive and long-term sampling efforts to understand the region’s biodiversity. Overall, our findings provide new insights into the spatial patterns and biodiversity of phytoplankton and other protists in the North American Arctic and have implications for understanding the ecological functioning and response of this region to ongoing climate change.
