Por serem micro-organismos benéficos à saúde do homem, o uso dos probióticos reservam vantagens desde o sistema gastrointestinal até o sistema imunológico. No tocante à pele, a microbiota constitui uma parcela essencial; e o sebo, o suor, bem como os corneócitos são responsáveis pelas diferenças na população de micro-organismos presentes. A DA, ou dermatite atópica, configura-se como uma inflamação crônica dérmica, cuja presença de pele seca, prurido intenso, lesões cutâneas eczematosas e pele seca são observados. Esse quadro prejudica acentuadamente a qualidade de vida do portador dessa enfermidade. Isso porque a patogênese dessa doença é multifatorial e de alta complexidade, abrangendo desde mutações nos genes, até uma hiperexpressão de citocinas pró-inflamatórias. A aplicação de probióticos na pele estimula a recuperação na microbiota da pele por diversas formas. Pertencentes à família das Lactobacillaceae, os Lactobacillus são gram positivos, lácticas, anaeróbia, fermentativas, não formadores de esporos e têm forma de bastonetes ou cocobacilos. Genericamente, diversas cepas de lactobacilos são comercializadas como probióticos, desempenhando inúmeros benefícios para o hospedeiro. Isso é inegavelmente um ponto a favor do emprego dela em um campo ainda inovador, como a pele. Assim, busca-se avaliar eficácia dos Lactobacillus sp. como probióticos para tratar DA, através de uma revisão narrativa de literatura.

Lesões autoprovocadas são comportamentos nos quais uma pessoa causa danos físicos a si mesma de forma voluntária. Esses comportamentos se apresentam em um amplo espectro e estão diretamente associados a transtornos psiquiátricos. O suicídio, por sua vez, é um grave problema de saúde pública. Este estudo objetivou delinear um perfil epidemiológico da mortalidade por lesões autoprovocadas nas diferentes regiões brasileiras entre os anos de 2010 e 2020. Foi conduzido um estudo descritivo com abordagem mista, analisando dados por região no período supracitado. Os dados foram obtidos do Sistema de Informação de Mortalidade (SIM), disponibilizados pelo Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde (DATASUS). Foram coletados os registros de óbitos por lesões autoprovocadas em todo o país e as variáveis de interesse foram avaliadas por meio de análises descritivas. Os resultados revelaram um aumento de 46,7% no número de óbitos por autolesão no período analisado e um perfil epidemiológico caracterizado por uma maior prevalência de mortalidade por lesões autoprovocadas em indivíduos do sexo masculino, na faixa etária entre 30 e 39 anos e com grau de escolaridade entre 4 e 7 anos de estudo. Variações regionais significativas foram observadas, com um aumento da faixa etária dos indivíduos que cometem lesões autoprovocadas seguindo uma tendência crescente do Norte para o Sul do país, bem como diferenciações quanto à escolaridade nas regiões Centro-Oeste e Sul. Esses resultados destacam a importância de implementar estratégias de prevenção e políticas públicas direcionadas, considerando as especificidades regionais, socioeconômicas e psicossociais envolvidas. Os achados deste estudo fornecem subsídios valiosos para a redução da morbimortalidade associada a esse grave problema de saúde pública no Brasil.

Published: January 2024

A inclusão do pescado na alimentação de crianças pode auxiliar no combate de doenças crônicas degenerativas, além de modificar os hábitos alimentares e promover uma alimentação saudável. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi revisar o estado da arte das pesquisas que avaliaram a inserção do pescado na merenda escolar no Brasil, identificando as espécies utilizadas, as formas de preparo, os avanços e desafios. O estudo trata-se de uma revisão narrativa da literatura, onde as buscas ocorreram nas bases de dados Scielo e Scopus, além da ferramenta do Google Acadêmico. Foram considerados critérios de inclusão, os artigos, livros, dissertações e teses, disponíveis eletronicamente na íntegra, gratuitamente, cujas pesquisas avaliaram o uso de peixes na alimentação escolar no Brasil, nos idiomas português, inglês e espanhol. O período da publicação não foi inserido com critério de escolha. Excluíram-se os artigos repetidos em mais de uma base, bem como monografias. Os resultados demonstraram que os estudos consistiram em avaliação da aceitabilidade do pescado ofertado de diferentes formas, além de relatos de experiência onde foram utilizada metodologia lúdica, para promover o consumo de pescado em escolares. As espécies de peixes utilizadas nos estudos foram tilápia do Nilo (Oreochromis niloticus); carpa (Cyprinus carpio); pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus); anchoita (Engraulis anchoita); pirarucu (Arapaima gigas); curimatã (Prochilodus nigricans). As formas de preparo do pescado ofertado aos estudantes foram canja e caldo de pescado defumado; molho, almondegas e fishburguers. Os estudantes apreciaram o uso de pescado na merenda escolar, contudo, novos trabalhos neste contexto devem ser realizados, sobretudo, com espécies de peixes nativas e com diferentes tecnologias de beneficiamento do pescado.
Deep learning model based on multi-scale feature fusion for precipitation nowcasting
Authors: Tan Jinkai , Huang Qiqiao , Chen Sheng 
Published: January 2024

Abstract. Forecasting heavy precipitation accurately is a challenging task for most deep learning (DL)-based models. To address this, we present a novel DL architecture called “multi-scale feature fusion” (MFF) that can forecast precipitation with a lead time of up to 3 h. The MFF model uses convolution kernels with varying sizes to create multi-scale receptive fields. This helps to capture the movement features of precipitation systems, such as their shape, movement direction, and speed. Additionally, the architecture utilizes the mechanism of discrete probability to reduce uncertainties and forecast errors, enabling it to predict heavy precipitation even at longer lead times. For model training, we use 4 years of radar echo data from 2018 to 2021 and 1 year of data from 2022 for model testing. We compare the MFF model with three existing extrapolative models: time series residual convolution (TSRC), optical flow (OF), and UNet. The results show that MFF achieves superior forecast skills with high probability of detection (POD), low false alarm rate (FAR), small mean absolute error (MAE), and high structural similarity index (SSIM). Notably, MFF can predict high-intensity precipitation fields at 3 h lead time, while the other three models cannot. Furthermore, MFF shows improvement in the smoothing effect of the forecast field, as observed from the results of radially averaged power spectral (RAPS). Our future work will focus on incorporating multi-source meteorological variables, making structural adjustments to the network, and combining them with numerical models to further improve the forecast skills of heavy precipitations at longer lead times.

Published: January 2024

The potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is one of the most common foods consumed in Rwanda and all over the world. However, the yields of potato remain low, ranging from 5 to 20 tons per ha in Rwanda. The average yield obtained during this research is 8.873 t per ha. This low potato yield is mainly caused by technical factors, including low seed quality, pests and diseases, agriculture input that are not well applied, and crop rotation. The objective of this study was to identify the main technical factors affecting potato production based on farmer perception in Musanze district of Rwanda. For this study, seven sectors of the district were selected, and in each sector, 27 potato farmers were randomly selected and interviewed using formal, informal, and expert interviews based on the prepared questionnaires. The qualitative and quantitative data were recorded and analysed using Microsoft Excel and STATA 14. Among the 192 farmers from all seven targeted sectors of the district, 17.19% used a formal seed system, while 82.81% used an informal seed system. The obtained results showed that the prevalence of diseases and pests such as late blight, bacteria wilt (BW) and aphids was perceived at 31.9, 68.8, and 86.8%, respectively. The study recommends an increase in awareness of certified seeds, their presence on the market, a reduced price for certified seeds, and the management of soil-borne diseases using appropriate crop rotation and biological and chemical control, among other things.

Nouvelle Méthode De Formalisation Des Terres Au Benin : Perceptions Des Acteurs Fonciers De La Moyenne Vallée Du Mono
Authors: V. AZANDEGBE Judth Espérance 
Published: January 2024

En vue de sécuriser les terres rurales au Bénin, le gouvernement a instauré à travers la loi N° 2013-01 du 14 août 2013, une nouvelle méthode de formalisation des terres. Mais cette réforme semble rencontrer des réticences de la part des propriétaires fonciers. La présente étude fait part de la situation dans la moyenne vallée du Mono. 338 personnes composées des acquéreurs et vendeurs de parcelles ont été interviewées à travers la technique de boule de neige. Les informations sur les méthodes d’enregistrement des terres, les types de documents fonciers attestant leur droit de propriété et les raisons de leur réticence ont été collectées ; elles ont été ensuite traitées puis analysées et les récits ont été transcrits.Les résultats obtenus ont révélé que la formalisation légale des achats et ventes de parcelles auprès des autorités compétentes dans la moyenne vallée du Mono n’est pas toujours systématique et demeure encore timide dans certains villages. Pour cause, 43% des acquéreurs interviewés disposent d’une convention de vente contre 57% qui ont des reçus de vente en leur possession. De plus, la nouvelle méthode de formalisation instaurée par la nouvelle loi foncière semble aggraver la situation ; 65% des personnes enquêtées ont déclaré ne pas être informées de l’existence de cette méthode. Aussi, émettent-ils des réticences face à cette loi lorsqu’on la leur explique du fait des tracasseries, du coût élevé des formalités et de la lenteur administrative.

Face à une inondation, chacun se prépare afin de se protéger soi même et de protéger ses biens. Le présent article ambitionne de mettre en évidence l’importance de cette préparation chez les habitants des zones inondables. La recherche a été conduite dans un quartier vulnérable, qualifié d’éternel inondé, de la Commune Urbaine d’Antananarivo. Ce phénomène répétitif interpelle inéluctablement et pose la problématique de la résilience de la population résidente d’Andohatapenaka et nous incite à nous poser la question suivante : Les comportements des habitants des bas quartiers s’orientent-ils vers une culture de résilience ? Les résultats montrent que quand les enquêtés évoquent une attitude ou un comportement par rapport à la Réduction de Risque de Catastrophe (RRC), cela ne signifie pas forcément qu’ils agissent tel quel mais c’est déjà un pas franchi dans le sens d’une véritable culture de résilience.
Textile Mobilities across Medieval Afro-Eurasia
Authors: Dospel Williams Elizabeth 
Published: January 2024

Textiles counted among the most precious and prized categories of material culture in the medieval world: made with care in specialized workshops, handed down over generations as part of family wealth, repurposed until threadbare for use as dress and furnishings, serving as diplomatic gifts and luxury trade goods, cloth played a major cultural role across premodern societies. Such importance stands in contrast to how fabrics are often viewed by students today, as cheaply-made, disposal material outsourced from distant factories for mass consumption. The disjuncture between premodern attitudes toward cloth and prevailing views today offers a compelling entry point for students to contemplate historical continuities and difference through the lens of a universally familiar medium of textiles.
This pedagogical file considers textiles’ mobilities across premodern Afro-Eurasia to explore medieval global networks through a focus on exchanges evidenced in material culture. The presented examples focus on textiles in European and North American museum collections, thus layering in also more recent mobilities of these objects as artworks with modern collecting histories.

Purpose The number of total knee replacements (TKRs) performed per year has been increasing annually and it is estimated that by 2030 demand would reach 3.48 million procedures per year in the United States Of America. The prevalence of periprosthetic fractures (PPFs) around TKRs has followed this trend with incidences ranging from 0.3% to 3.5%. Distal femoral PPFs are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. When there is sufficient bone stock in the distal femur and a fracture pattern conducive to fixation, locking compression plating (LCP) and retrograde intramedullary nailing (RIMN) are commonly used fixation strategies. Conversely, in situations with loosening and deficient bone stock, a salvage procedure such as a distal femoral replacement is recognized as an alternative. This meta-analysis investigates the rates of non-union, re-operation, infection, and mortality for LCPs and RIMNs when performed for distal femoral PPFs fractures around TKRs. Method A search was conducted to identify articles relevant to the management of distal femoral PPFs around TKRs in adherence to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) checklist. Articles meeting the inclusion criteria were then assessed for methodological quality using the methodological items for non-randomised studies (MINORS) criteria. Articles were reviewed, and data were compiled into tables for analysis. Results 10 articles met the inclusion criteria, reporting on 528 PPFs. The overall incidence of complications was: non-union 9.4%, re-operation 12.9%, infection 2.4%, and mortality 5.5%. This meta-analysis found no significant differences between RIMN and LCP in rates of non-union (9.2% vs 9.6%) re-operation (15.1% vs 11.3%), infection (2.1% vs 2.6%), and mortality (6.0% vs 5.2%), respectively. Conclusion This meta-analysis demonstrated no significant difference in rates of non-union, re-operation, infection, and mortality between RIMN and LCP and both remain valid surgical treatment options.
How Sacred Are the Dead?
Authors: Hutton Ronald 
Published: January 2024

ABSTRACT
Traditionally, one of the most magical, numinous, or consecrated kinds of space is a grave, which has the capacity to inspire all the feelings of reverence, affection, discomfort, or fear that humans associate with the dead of their own species. However, the contents of graves, including the bodies of occupants, also represent one of the most valuable sources of information concerning ancient societies. For most of the time since systematic inquiry into the ancient past began, this potential paradox was solved by denying the ancient dead any of the respect recorded to more recent burials. Since the 1990s, a number of challenges have been mounted to this approach, and a complex debate resulted that provides a window into contemporary attitudes toward death, humanity, the sacred, and the spirit of place. This article is designed to review and analyze that debate in a British context.
Epistaxis and Facial Swelling Due to Nasal Blastomycosis in a Cat
Authors: Bolton Timothy Andrew , Green Emily , Cecere Thomas 
Published: January 2024

ABSTRACT
A 5 yr old castrated male domestic longhair was examined because of left-sided facial swelling and epistaxis. Head computed tomography with contrast identified a mass within the left nasal cavity and multifocal regions of nasal bone osteolysis. Histopathology of nasal mass biopsies and cytology of the facial swelling revealed pyogranulomatous inflammation due to Blastomyces dermatitidis. The cat experienced resolution of clinical signs following 8 mo of treatment with itraconazole. Although rare, clinicians should include blastomycosis on the differential diagnoses list of infectious causes for feline nasal disease if within an endemic area.

Published: January 2024

ABSTRACT
A 6.5 yr old castrated male mixed-breed dog was presented for clinical signs associated with hypoglycemia. Hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia was diagnosed as the cause of the persistent hypoglycemia. No obvious pancreatic mass was seen on abdominal computed tomography and exploratory laparotomy. A partial pancreatectomy was performed with the suspicion of an insulinoma-causing hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia. Nesidioblastosis was diagnosed based clinical, biochemical, and histopathologic findings. There was beta cell hyperplasia and no evidence of neoplasia. The dog was euglycemic postoperatively after a partial pancreatectomy. Long-term follow-up after 2 yr revealed that the dog was diagnosed with diabetes mellitus.

Published: January 2024

ABSTRACT
Bacterial culture and susceptibility are widely used in veterinary medicine to determine the specific bacteria causing infection as well as aid in appropriate antimicrobial selection. Previous studies have shown variable results with culture and susceptibility depending on the laboratory and methodology used. Samples from dogs with superficial pyoderma were obtained to make a homogeneous solution of bacteria. Sample acquisition from this solution was randomized and submitted to four veterinary laboratories for microbial identification and sensitivity. There was fair agreement among the laboratories in identification of a Staphylococcus spp. as well as fair agreement among the laboratories on the same Staphylococcus sp. Very good agreement was noted on identification of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus spp. Additionally, good to very good agreement was noted on all antimicrobials that were tested across all four laboratories. A difference in turnaround time for sample processing was observed between the laboratories in the present study. Overall, there was mild variability among the laboratory results in this study.

Published: January 2024

In the present investigation, we studied on the in-vitro antibacterial activity of Curcuma longa extracts in hexane, chloroform, and methanol as well as phytochemical screening. Steroids, terpenoids, glycosides, tannins, alkaloids, phenols, and carbohydrates were all identified in the data. Against the investigated bacterial strains, the chosen plant extracts generated a concentration-dependent zone of inhibition. Compared to gram positive species, the extracts demonstrated more potency against gram negative organisms. When the extracts were at their greatest concentrations, 500 and 250 µg/ml, they demonstrated better activity. At 500 µg doses, the chloroform extract of Curcuma longa exhibited superior effectiveness against gram negative bacteria compared to the other two extracts
