Beliefs, barriers, and promotion practices of Indian nurses’ regarding healthy eating for cancer survivors in a tertiary care hospital—A cross sectional survey
Authors: Pai Hritika D. , Samuel Stephen Rajan , Kumar K. Vijaya , Eapen Charu , Olsen Alicia , Keogh Justin W.L. 
Published: March 2024

Purpose
To describe the beliefs, barriers and promotion practices of Indian nurses’ regarding healthy eating (HE) behaviours amongst cancer survivors, and to gain insights into whether their educational qualifications might affect the promotion of HE.

Methods
Data was gathered using a validated questionnaire, 388 of the approached 400 nurses who worked at a tertiary care hospital in India gave informed consent to participate in the study. The Mann-Whitney U test and the Chi square analysis (for continuous and categorical variables respectively) were performed to carry out sub-group comparisons based on the qualification of the nurses i.e., Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSc) and General Nursing and Midwifery (GNM).

Results
The nurses believed that dieticians/nutritionists were primarily responsible for educating the cancer survivors regarding HE. HE was promoted by nurses’ relatively equally across multiple treatment stages (“during” treatment 24.4%, “post” treatment 23.1%; and “pre” treatment 22.3%). Nurses’ believed HE practices had numerous benefits, with improved health-related quality of life (HRQoL) (75.7%), and mental health (73.9%) being the most frequent responses. The most frequently cited barriers by the nurses in promoting HE were lack of time (22.2%), and lack of adequate support structure (19.9%). Sub-group comparisons generally revealed no significant difference between the BSc and GNM nurses in their perceptions regarding HE promotion to cancer survivors. Exceptions were how the GNM group had significantly greater beliefs regarding whether HE can “reduce risk of cancer occurrence” (p = 0.004) and “whether or not I promote HE is entirely up to me” (p = 0.002).

Conclusion
The nurses in India believe in the promotion of HE practices among cancer survivors across various stages of cancer treatments. However, they do face a range of barriers in their attempt to promote HE. Overcoming these barriers might facilitate effective promotion of HE among cancer survivors and help improve survivorship outcomes.

Implications for cancer survivors
Indian nurses employed in the two tertiary care hospitals wish to promote HE among cancer survivors, but require further knowledge and support services for more effective promotion of HE.
Evaluation of Patients Doses During 2 and 16 Slice CT Scan Procedure in Adults
Authors: Robinson Ebbi Donald , Ononugbo Chinyere Philomena , Gbarato Oliver 
Published: March 2024

Aim: Computed tomography (CT) is an innovation that has contributed immensely to modern medicine. CT uses ionising radiation in the form of x-rays which has become a source of concern. The study is to evaluate patients’ doses during 2 and 16 slices CT scan procedure in adults.
Study Design: The study was an empirical study.
Place and Duration of Study: It was carried out with 50 patients referred for brain CT in two separate radiology facilities having 2 and 16 slices CT scans in Port Harcourt over 6months duration.
Methodology: The examination was done in accordance with standard protocols for brain CT. Radiation dose was measured with a coded themoluminiscent dosimeter (TLD) chip, placed on the glabella and held in position with a transparent adhesive tape before the exposures and removed immediately after the investigation, labeled and sent to the Radiation Dosimetric Laboratory of the Regional Centre for Energy Research and Training (CERT), Zaria for reading. The effective dose was obtained from the absorbed dose by multiplying the absorbed dose with tissue weighting factor of 0.01 for the brain. The cancer and hereditary effects per investigation were obtained by using the cancer risk coefficients (FCR = 5.5X10−2 Sv−1) and hereditary risk coefficients (FGE = 0.2X10−2 Sv−1) obtained from ICRP 103 publication. All variables collated were tabulated into a data sheet and analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) windows version 22.30 statistical software (SPSS Inc, Chicago, Illionois, USA). The results were presented on tables, charts and graphs. A descriptive statistical tool was used to - determine central tendencies while Pearson correlation and linear regression analysis model was used to evaluate correlation between variables.
Results: The mean absorbed dose (±SD) was 51.37(±8.07)mSv and 89.97±13.25mSv during 2 and 16 slices CT procedures respectively. The Lifetime Attributable Risk is approximately 3 and 5 per 105 CT procedures during 2 and 16 slice CT procedures while the Hereditary Risks was 1 and 2 per 106 CT procedures for 2 and 16 slice CT procedures respectively. There was a weak correlation between BMI and cancer risk with a Pearson Correlation coefficient (r) of 0.130 but no association between cancer risk and age during 2 slice CT scanner.
Conclusion: Absorbed dose increases with increase on the CT slices, likewise cancer and hereditary risk increases with increase in CT slices. Thus, notwithstanding how low a radiation exposure could be it can still necessitate malignant risk.

Background: Alzheimer disease is the leading cause of Dementia throughout the world. There are multiple researches are undergoing globally to understand the etiology of this disabling disease. Magnesium is another suspicious factor that might produce this disease.
Objectives: The study was aimed to evaluate possible association between serum magnesium and Alzheimer disease.
Methodology: This case control study was conducted in the emergency Department in collaboration of Medical OPD of Liquate University Hospital Hyderabad from January 2023 to December 2023. 300 participants were divided into control, 200 participants and 100 in the test group. Serum Magnesium was evaluated into both control and test group. Graph Pad Prism 9 was used to detect P value. Significance of variable was considered below 0.05.
Results: Those who were suffering from Alzheimer disease shows more Hypomagnesaemia (p-value= 0.001) than normal patients. The low serum Magnesium level was found 3.1 times greater (Odds ratio= 5.5, likelihood ratio= 1.9) in Alzheimer patients
Conclusion: there is a specific association between Hypomagnesaemia and Alzheimer disease.
Body size and scaling of the hands and feet of prosimian primates
Authors: Lemelin Pierre , Jungers William L. 
Published: March 2007

AbstractThe hands and feet of primates fulfill a variety of biological roles linked with food acquisition and positional behavior. Current explanations of shape differences in cheiridial morphology among prosimians are closely tied to body size differences. Although numerous studies have examined the relationships between body mass and limb morphology in prosimians, no scaling analysis has specifically considered hand and foot dimensions and intrinsic proportions. In this study, we present such an analysis for a sample of 270 skeletal specimens distributed over eight prosimian families. The degree of association between size and shape was assessed using nonparametric correlational techniques, while the relationship between each ray element length and body mass (from published data and a body mass surrogate) was tested for allometric scaling. Since tarsiers and strepsirrhines encompass many taxa of varying degrees of phylogenetic relatedness, effective degrees of freedom were calculated, and comparisons between families were performed to partially address the problem of statistical nonindependence and “phylogenetic inertia.” Correlational analyses indicate negative allometry between relative phalangeal length (as reflected by phalangeal indices) and body mass, except for the pollex and hallux. Thus, as size increases, there is a significant decrease in the relative length of the digits when considering all prosimian taxa sampled. Regression analyses show that while the digital portion of the rays scales isometrically with body mass, the palmar/plantar portion of the rays often scales with positive allometry. Some but not all of these broadly interspecific allometric patterns remain statistically significant when effective degrees of freedom are taken into account. As is often the case in interspecific scaling, comparisons within families show different scaling trends in the cheiridia than those seen across families (i.e., lorisids, indriids, and lemurids exhibit rather different allometries). The interspecific pattern of positive allometry that appears to best characterize the metapodials of prosimians, especially those of the foot, parallels differences found in the morphology of the volar skin. Indeed, relatively longer metapodials appear to covary with flatter and more coalesced volar pads, which in turn slightly improve frictional force for animals that are at a comparative disadvantage while climbing because of their larger mass. Despite the essentially isometric relationship found between digit length and body mass across prosimians, examination of the residual variation reveals that tarsiers andDaubentoniapossess, relative to their body sizes, remarkably long fingers. Such marked departures between body size and finger length observed in these particular primates are closely linked with specialized modes of prey acquisition and manipulation involving the hands.

Reactive blending of polyamides with epoxidized elastomers
Authors: Steller Ryszard T. , Micewicz Ewa , Meissner Wanda 
Published: March 2007

AbstractMelt blending of aliphatic polyamides (PA6, PA66, PA12) with epoxidized and nonepoxidized elastomers (SBS, BS, PB) was investigated. IR and rheological studies have shown that epoxidized elastomers can simultaneously react both with polyamides and within their own phases during melt blending. Relative intensity of both processes is the main factor, which determines structure and properties of blends. SEM observations indicated that use of epoxidized elastomers improves blend homogeneity and decreases mean size of dispersed elastomer phase in comparison with nonepoxidized elastomers. Mechanical properties of epoxidized elastomers based blends are generally better with respect to similar blends with nonepoxidized elastomers. They depend on blend composition and type of polyamide and elastomer. Elastomer addition decreases tensile strength of all systems but in some cases, a considerable rise of impact strength was measured. Epoxidized SBS block copolymer was found to be the most effective modifier, especially with respect to PA6 and PA12. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 2007

Published: March 2007

AbstractDibutylamine‐terminated ε‐caprolactone oligomers (CLOs: CLOL, CLOM, and CLOH) with number–averaged molecular weight (Mn), 500, 1300, and 2200, respectively, were synthesized by the ring‐opening polymerization of ε‐caprolactone initiated by 2‐(dibutylamino)ethanol in the presence of tin(II) 2‐ethylhexanoate. Nanocomposites based on poly(ε‐caploractone) (PCL) and the caprolactone oligomer‐treated montmorillonites (CLO‐Ms: CLOL‐M, CLOM‐M, and CLOH‐M) were prepared by melt intercalation method. The XRD and TEM analyses of the PCL composites revealed that the extent of exfoliation of the clay platelets increased with increasing molecular weight of the used CLOs. Tensile strength and modulus of the PCL/CLO‐M composites increased with increasing molecular weight of the CLO and increasing inorganic content. The tensile modulus of the PCL/CLOH‐M nanocomposite with inorganic content 5.0 wt % was three times higher than that of control PCL. Among the PCL/CLO‐M composites, the PCL/CLOM‐M composite had the highest crystallization temperature and melting temperature. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 2007

Published: March 2007

AbstractBy using laser light scattering (LS) and size exclusion chromatography combined LS, we have investigated the molecular weight and chain conformation of amylopectin from rice of India (II‐b), japonica (IJ‐b), and glutinous (IG‐b) in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solution. The weight‐average molecular weight (Mw) and radius of gyration (〈S2〉½) of amylopectin were determined to be 4.06 × 107 and 128.5 nm for India rice, 7.41 × 107 and 169.6 nm for japonica rice, 2.72 × 108 and 252.3 nm for glutinous rice, respectively. The 〈S2〉½ values were much lower than that of normal polymers, indicating a small molecular volume of amylopectin, as a result of highly branched structure. Ignoring the difference of degree of branching, approximated dependences of 〈S2〉½ and intrinsic viscosity ([η]) on Mw for amylopectin in DMSO at 25°C were estimated to be 〈S2〉½ = 0.30Mw0.35 (nm) and [η] = 0.331Mw0.41 (mL g−1) in the Mw range studied. Moreover, from the 〈S2〉½ values of numberless fractions obtained from many experimental points in the SEC chromatogram detected with LS, the dependence of 〈S2〉½ on Mw for the II‐b sample was estimated also to be 〈S2〉½ = 0.34 Mw0.347, coinciding with the above results. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Study on Properties of TBP‐HNO3 Complex Used for Direct Dissolution of Lanthanide and Actinide Oxides in Supercritical Fluid CO2
Authors: Duan Wu‐Hua , Zhu Li‐Yang , Jing Shan , Zhu Yong‐Jun , Chen Jing 
Published: March 2007

AbstractThe tri‐n‐butyl phosphate‐nitric acid (TBP‐HNO3) complex prepared by contacting the pure TBP with the concentrated HNO3 can be used for direct dissolution of lanthanide and actinide oxides in the supercritical fluid carbon dioxide (SCF‐CO2). Properties of the TBP‐HNO3 complex have been studied. Experimental results showed that when the initial HNO3/TBP volume ratio was varied from 1:7 to 5:1, the concentration of HNO3 in the TBP‐HNO3 complex changed from 1.95 to 5.89 mol/L, the [HNO3]/[TBP] ratio of the TBP‐HNO3 complex changed from 0.61 to 2.22, and the content of H2O in the TBP‐HNO3 complex changed from 2.02% to 4.19%. All of the density, viscosity and surface tension of the TBP‐HNO3 complex changed with the concentration of HNO3 in the complex, and were higher than those of the pure TBP. The protons of HNO3 and H2O in the complex underwent rapid exchange to exhibit a singlet resonance peak in nuclear magnetic resonance spectra. When the TBP‐HNO3 complex was dissolved in a low dielectric constant solvent, small droplets of HNO3 were formed that can be detected by NMR.
