Strategies for Mitigating Flood Risks in Western Region, Kenya
Authors: Opilo Betty Nasambu , Mugalavai Edward 
Published: November 2023

The focus on strategies for mitigating flood risks is to identify which measures have been put in place to reduce flood risk using nature-based affordable approaches. It has been observed that there is a continuous increase in floods all over the world, in developed and developing countries, as a result of climate change. Floods have affected millions of people worldwide, leading to environmental, physical, economic, and social losses and reducing the growth of the nation. Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) strategies have been rated among the best approaches for reducing natural hazard-related risks and setting the strategic direction for a sub-county, country, or region to become more resilient to hazards. However, the adoption level of the technology is still very low, creating a gap between the adoption of the technology and flood risk reduction. Dynamics in land use and cover have been increasing, thus enhancing flood risk in the western region of Kenya. This study therefore aimed at evaluating strategies for mitigating flood risks using a nature-based approach. The evaluation design was adopted, and both qualitative and quantitative data were utilized. A sample size of 384 was calculated using Fisher’s formula from a sample population of 63,025 households and Data was collected using questionnaires, interview schedules, and a focus group discussion guide. Secondary and quantitative data were analyzed using MS Excel and Statistical Package for Social Scientists (SPSS) version 26. Qualitative data was analyzed using narration techniques to support quantitative data, while quantitative data was presented using tables, graphs, and charts. The findings on the evaluation of the strategies for mitigating flood risks revealed that extension service as an informational strategy was 92% (353) of the best measure, whereas the existence of project meetings at 80% (307) benefited a lot from them. The study recommends the adoption of holistic management of the Sustainable Land Management Technologies (SLMT) policies and increased training areas to create environmental equity for sustainable development. The study is expected to assist in strengthening extension services with the involvement of both the county and the national government.

A mordida cruzada posterior é uma má oclusão que, uma vez instalada, não se corrige sozinha, a intervenção é necessária o mais rápido possível. Indivíduos com essa má oclusão geralmente se apresentam com atresia maxilar, carecendo de uma disjunção da sutura palatina mediana para correção e, esta pode ser conseguida pela expansão rápida da maxila. Vários dispositivos estão disponíveis para facilitar a abertura da sutura palatina mediana, os mais utilizados são Haas e Hyrax, que têm diferentes características e mesmas indicações. A finalidade deste trabalho é estabelecer a prevalência das alterações oclusais, hábitos bucais deletérios, fatores etiológicos e o tipo de tratamento ortodôntico. Uma vez que os dados são coletados e analisados, concluiu-se que a expansão rápida da maxila com os disjuntores Haas e Hyrax traz bons resultados na correção da mordida cruzada posterior, que é preciso o conhecimento do profissional quanto a etiologia e origem da má oclusão, possibilidades de tratamento, a inserção do protocolo adequado da disjunção e a cooperação do paciente.
Effects of seasonal variations in vegetation and precipitation on catchment erosion rates along a climate and ecological gradient: insights from numerical modeling
Authors: Sharma Hemanti , Ehlers Todd A. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract. Precipitation in wet seasons influences catchment erosion and contributes to annual erosion rates. However, wet seasons are also associated with increased vegetation cover, which helps resist erosion. This study investigates the effect of present-day seasonal variations in rainfall and vegetation cover on erosion rates for four catchments along the extreme climate and ecological gradient (from arid to temperate) of the Chilean Coastal Cordillera (∼ 26–∼ 38∘ S). We do this using the Landlab–SPACE landscape evolution model to account for vegetation-dependent hillslope–fluvial processes and hillslope hydrology. Model inputs include present-day (90 m) topography and a time series (from 2000–2019) of MODIS-derived Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) for vegetation seasonality, weather station observations of precipitation, and evapotranspiration obtained from Global Land Data Assimilation System (GLDAS) Noah. The sensitivity of catchment-scale erosion rates to seasonal average variations in precipitation and/or vegetation cover was quantified using numerical model simulations. Simulations were conducted for 1000 years (20 years of vegetation and precipitation observations repeated 50 times). After detrending the results for long-term transient changes, the last 20 years were analyzed. Results indicate that when vegetation cover is variable but precipitation is held constant, the amplitude of change in erosion rates relative to mean erosion rates ranges between 5 % (arid) and 36 % (Mediterranean setting). In contrast, in simulations with variable precipitation change and constant vegetation cover, the amplitude of change in erosion rates is higher and ranges between 13 % (arid) and 91 % (Mediterranean setting). Finally, simulations with coupled precipitation and vegetation cover variations demonstrate variations in catchment erosion of 13 % (arid) to 97 % (Mediterranean setting). Taken together, we find that precipitation variations more strongly influence seasonal variations in erosion rates. However, the effects of seasonal variations in vegetation cover on erosion are also significant (between 5 % and 36 %) and are most pronounced in semi-arid to Mediterranean settings and least prevalent in arid and humid–temperature settings.

Background and Purpose: A Nigerian-formulated polyherbal supplement (PHS) is consumed for its folkloric claims of boosting the immune system. The aim of this study was to toxicologically evaluate a 30-day administration of PHS.
Methods: Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) analysis was carried out on the ethanol extract of PHS. Thirty-two Wistar rats were randomly assigned to four groups. One group served as control while the other three groups were administered 250, 500, and 1000 mg/kg/day of PHS for 30 consecutive days. The animals were anesthetized, and cardiac puncture was used to obtain whole blood for hematology and serum biochemistry. In vivo, antioxidant assays were also carried out on the liver homogenates. The liver, kidneys, and heart were examined histologically.
Results: The most abundant compounds identified were eucalyptol, alpha-pinene, and phytol. There were no adverse hematological effects. Total cholesterol, LDL-C, and catalase were reduced significantly (P<0.05). At 1000 mg/kg/day, there was a significant increase in creatinine, sodium ion, and glutathione peroxidase concentration. The histological examination of the heart, kidneys, and liver revealed that PHS did not cause any major tissue lesions at 250 and 500 mg/kg/day. Tissue lesions and pathologies were obvious at 1000 mg/kg/day.
Conclusion: The polyherbal supplement seems to be relatively safe if used at doses up to 250 mg/kg/day. Higher doses may cause renal and hepatic lesions.

BACKGROUND
Liver transplant (LT) is becoming increasingly common with improved life expectancy. Joint replacement is usually a safe procedure; however, its safety in LT recipients remains understudied.
AIM
To evaluate the mortality, outcome, and 90-d readmission rate in LT patients undergoing hip and knee replacement surgery.
METHODS
Patients with history of LT who underwent hip and knee replacement surgery between 2016 and 2019 were identified using the National Readmission Database.
RESULTS
A total of 5046119 hip and knee replacement surgeries were identified. 3219 patients had prior LT. Mean age of patients with no history of LT was 67.51 [95% confidence interval (CI): 67.44-67.58], while it was 64.05 (95%CI: 63.55-64.54) in patients with LT. Patients with history of LT were more likely to have prolonged length of hospital stay (17.1% vs 8.4%, P < 0.001). The mortality rate for patients with no history of LT was 0.22%, while it was 0.24% for patients with LT (P = 0.792). Patients with history of LT were more likely to have re-admissions within 90 d of initial hospitalization: 11.4% as compared to 6.2% in patients without history of LT (P < 0.001). The mortality rate between both groups during readmission was not statistically different (1.9% vs 2%, P = 0.871) respectively.
CONCLUSION
Hip and knee replacements in patients with history of LT are not associated with increased mortality; increased re-admissions were more frequent in this cohort of patients. Chronic kidney disease and congestive heart failure appear to predict higher risk of readmission.

Authors: Kelmer Grayson , Johnson Andrea H , Turcotte Justin J , Redziniak Daniel E 
Published: November 2023

BACKGROUND
Cyclops lesions are a known complication of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, with symptomatic cyclops syndrome occurring in up to 11% of surgeries. Recurrent cyclops lesions have been rarely documented; this case study documents the successful treatment of a recurrent cyclops lesion.
CASE SUMMARY
A 28-year-old female presented following a non-contact injury to the right knee. Workup and clinical exam revealed an ACL tear, and arthroscopic reconstruction was performed. Two years later a cyclops lesion was discovered and removed via arthroscopic synovectomy. Seven months postoperatively, the patient presented with pain, stiffness, and difficulty achieving terminal extension. A smaller recurrent cyclops lesion was diagnosed, and a repeat synovectomy was performed. The patient recovered fully.
CONCLUSION
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first documented case of recurrent cyclops lesion after bone-patellar tendon-bone allograft ACL reconstruction presenting as cyclops syndrome.
Low serum level and chronic toxicity for methotrexate. Case Report
Authors: Musameh Ibtisam , Al-Bakri Faten , Ezzeldin Asmaa 
Published: November 2023

Introduction: Methotrexate (MTX) is a folic acid antagonist used to treat different immunological or proliferative illnesses because of its anti-proliferative and anti-inflammatory effects. MTX Toxicity is considered a severe problem. Although acute toxicity related to high-dose administration (doses ≥500 mg/m2) can be predicted based on the given dose, chronic toxicity still has no specific factors to predict it, so treatment depends on the history and symptoms of toxicity. MTX was initially used for oncology indications with high cyclic doses, then expanded to non-oncology indications with different low doses and frequencies. This significant change in doses resulted in dosing errors that contributed to MTX toxicity reports. Measures to prevent the toxicity of MTX should be implemented.
Case: A 66-year-old female patient ingested 10 mg of MTX daily for one month instead of the once-toxicity symptoms. The serum level of MTX was requested, and treatment with folinic acid was initiated until the patient improved with the discontinuation of MTX.
Discussion: There is limited literature about the lack the total cumulative dose, duration of intake, or serum level of MTX. All this information was provided in this case report, but drug-drug interactions were not reviewed, although aspirin and pantoprazole were identified as having interactions with methotrexate in this patient. Minimum total cumulative dose identification may help assess the toxicity risk in such patients.
Conclusion: Low-dose MTX chronic toxicity still needs further information to guide the patient’s risk of toxicity and when to initiate treatment. Safety-practical measures should be implemented to prevent such administration errors.

Education is a process that aims to develop the potential of humans and gain useful knowledge for themselves later. But what happens at school, many students secretly violate and ignore the rules. Based on this phenomenon, the authors are interested to conduct research on the factors causing low discipline among 9th-grade students of SMP X in Surakarta. The method used is qualitative descriptive method. In terms of self-awareness, the students were also assessed as lacking. This is because the sanctions given are considered mild for students. The habit of a student who often do things without self-awareness and high responsibility changing their habits into bad habits. The conclusion that can be drawn, SMP X students in Surakarta are classified as having less discipline. This is evidenced by the high level of violation of school rules. The pandemic has also caused a decrease in the quality of discipline from students because it has been changed by the “new normal” which makes students carry out activities more easily at home.
