Published: October 2023

Background: In animals due to multiple factors sometime wound management with topical anti-septic dressing along with routine medication does not give any satisfactory outcome and becomes a challenge for the veterinarians. Due to antibacterial and wound healing enhancement properties of silver nano-particles in different forms, it is widely used topically in human wound therapy. The application of silver nano-particles in wound healing in chronic complicated wounds in animals especially in clinical cases is very less documented. Methods: Total twenty seven animals of various species, viz., dogs (n=20), goats (n=6), cat (n=1) and buffalo (n=1) presented with different types of chronic complicated wounds on different body parts were included in this study. The wounds after evaluation were treated according to conditions with routine antiseptic dressing with other required parenteral medications for initial 3 days. All the wounds were also subjected for topical application of silver nano-particles (100 ppm AgNOs spay) twice a day. The day of presentation was considered as a day ‘0’ and subsequent days for granulation, wound contraction and complete healing were recorded. Result: Amongst 20 canine wound cases, granulation of tissues with wound contraction was noted in around 5-12 days and complete healing of wound with or without scar formation was observed in 15-32 days. Among the six female goat patients, complete wound healing was observed on day 16 to day 19 according to the site and depth of wounds. In the wounds located on head, perivulvar, perineal, abdominal regions showed the marked granulation from day 3 to day 5 along with remarkable wound contraction. The wounds presented on limbs exhibited less granulation compared to wounds presented on other parts. The granulation was observed from day 5th on limb region. In all the cases healing period was found variable from day 10 to day 32.

Published: October 2023

Objective: To this study, we presented our experience with thermocautery assisted guillotine/clamp (TAG) method circumcisions on infant age and to share high rate of penile adhesions/phimosis complications that we found at the end of study.
Methods: A retrospective review between July 2020 and October 2022, 80 patients under the age of 1 who were circumcised by a single surgeon using the thermocautery assisted guillotine/clamp method, under the local anesthesia were included in the study (Thermo-Med TM 802B device; Thermo Medikal, Adana, Turkey).
Results: 80 patients were divided into 2 groups. Group 1 was 0-6 months old, group 2 was 6-12 months old. According to the weight percentile in group 1, 44.4% of the patients were above 75. percentile (p), in group 2, 34% of the patient were 25-50.p. In the preoperative evaluations, the presence of pubic fatty tissue was found in 24% of the patients in group 1 and 30% in group 2. Early complications occurred in 7 patients. Late complications were seen in 22 patients (27,5%). The presence of excess penile tissue was observed in 12 of them.
Conclusion: The TAG method is cheap, fast operation time and has a very good bleeding control. However, its use in infant group affects complication rates due to infant anatomical features. In the decision of circumcision in infant age, if there is a pubic fatty tissue in the preoperative examination, the high probability of complications should be taken into account when choosing the TAG method
Is There A Relationship Between Chewing Side Preference and Brain Laterality in Bruxers and Non-Bruxers?

Published: October 2023

Objective: There is no consensus on the etiology of unilateral mastication. While some studies argue that environmental factors such as missing teeth, teeth with restoration, pain, dental caries and temporomandibular disorder affect chewing side preference, others claim that brain laterality associated with hand, foot, ear and eye preferences also influences a chewing side preference. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the direction of unilateral chewing preference and brain laterality in fully dentate bruxers and non-bruxers (fully dentate or with missing and/or restored teeth).
Methods: Brain laterality of the subjects (n=132) was determined based on responses to questions about extremity and sensory preferences. The reliable visual analogue scale (VAS), Kazazoglu’s method and the sunflower seed shell cracking test were used to determine chewing side preference (CSP).
Results: CSP as determined by VAS was not associated with brain laterality. While extremity and sensory preferences were predominantly right-sided (dominant left hemisphere) in all groups, the frequency of the left-side chewing was found to be high only among bruxers (p>0.05). No significant association was found between the results of VAS and other techniques (p>0.05).
Conclusion: The left-side CSP is observed more commonly in bruxers, suggesting that different central and peripheral mechanisms may be involved in bruxers.

Abstract

Background There is absent systematic analysis or review has been conducted to clarify the topic of nomenclature history and terms misuse about Chiari malformations (CMs). Objective We reviewed all reports on terms coined for CMs for rational use and provided their etymology and future development. Method All literature on the nomenclature of CMs was retrieved and extracted into core terms. Subsequently, keyword-analysis, preceding and predicting (2023–2025) compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of each core term was calculated using a mathematical formula and Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average Model in Python. Result Totally 64,527 CM terms usage were identified. Of these, 57 original terms were collected and then extracted into 24 core-terms. Seventeen terms have their own featured author-keywords, while 7 terms are homologous. The preceding CAGR of 24 terms showed significant growth in use for 18 terms, while 13, 3, 3, and 5 terms may show sustained growth, remain stable, decline, and rare in usage, respectively, in the future. Conclusion Previously, owing to intricate nomenclature, Chiari terms were frequently misused, and numerous seemingly novel but worthless even improper terms have emerged. For a very basic neuropathological phenomenon tonsillar herniation by multiple etiology, a mechanism-based nosology seems to be more conducive to future communication than an umbrella eponym. However, a good nomenclature also should encapsulate all characteristics of this condition, but this is lacking in current CM research, as the pathophysiological mechanisms are not elucidated for the majority of CMs.

Abstract

The Date Palm spider mite (DPSM), Oligonychus afrasiaticus (McGregor), is the most critical pest on Date Palm. We studied the standardization of the class-specific sampling method to define the appropriate unit and size and the population dispersion pattern of DPSM in its specific ecological niches and fitting of a Wald,s sequential sampling model on six Date Palm cultivars in five provinces. The sampling was repeated at seven days intervals from May to September. Finally, the dispersion pattern of DPSM in the Date Palm orchards was estimated using indices of mean crowding, Taylor’s Power Law, mass average index, patchiness, and Iwao. As DPSM had a clumped pattern, the first and second-type errors were considered equal to 0.1. The results showed that the means density of DPSM varied from 9.25 (Sayer cultivar) to 41.64 (Berhee cultivar) on 20 fruits. According to Taylor’s power law, the dispersion of this pest was clumped. Average Sample size decreased by increasing the population density of DPSM. By these results, The decreasing of operational curve slopes of sequential sampling models were different in the different Date Palm cultivars so that the slope was reduced to 0.5, 0.3, 0.3, 0.25, 0.1, and 0.1 for Pyaroom, Mazafati Rabi, Sayer Berhee and Kabakab cultivars, respectively. Proposed Wald,s sequential sampling model can be suggested for monitoring DPSM population on different Date Palm cultivars because it could drastically decrease sample size compared with the classical sampling model.

Abstract
This research investigated the physicochemical and hydrophobicity characteristics of bituminous soils in the humid rainforest climate of Irele in Ondo State, Nigeria. This research sampled three locations within Irele (Loda, Lofo, and Legbogbo), with Legbogbo as the control site and bitumen free. Five points were randomly sampled per location up to the 0–15 cm soil depth for physicochemical characterization.A mini-disk infiltrometer at -2 cm water suction rate was used to determine the soil's hydrophobicity, water, and ethanol sorptivity.The soil typesof the study location were predominantly sandy loam and strongly acidic (pH). The organic matter and organic carbon varied significantly (p ≤ 0.001) for all the sites in season 1 (2020) and significantly different (p ≤ 0.01) in season 2 (2021). The exchangeable potassium (k+) for both seasons varied from 0.143 to 0.183 Cmol/kg, while the exchangeable sodium ranged from 0.16 to 1.50 Cmol/kg for season 1 and from 0.22 to 0.27 Cmol/kg for season 2, respectivelyExchangeable magnesium and cation exchange capacity (CEC) for season 1 and season 2 differ significantly (P < 0.05).The mean hydrophobicity index decreased in the order Loda > Lofo > Legbogbo. The soil sorptivity to water (Sw)was in the orderLegbogbo > Lofo > Loda. There was no significant difference (P > 0.05) in the mean Sw and soil sorptivity to ethanol (Se) among the locations under study, thoughthe Loda site had the highestethanol sorptivity.

Published: October 2023

Abstract
Background
As health systems evolve, medical education needs to adapt education programs that align with healthcare needs. Studies have shown that integrating Health System Sciences (HSS) in the medical curriculum will empower future physicians with additional skills to provide system-based care within a health system. Here, we describe the process and content of the integration of HSS within medical at one Saudi medical school.
Methods
This experience was conducted at the College of Medicine at Princess Nourah bint Abdulrahman University (PNU), Riyadh/Saudi Arabia. A group of medical educators in the areas of basic, clinical, and medical education made a proposal to integrate HSS within the curriculum. The process started with reviewing literature, similar national and international universities’ experiences, and educational competencies pertaining to HSS developed by Saudi Medical Education Directives Framework. Also reviewing some of the domains, content and skills that already exist in our MBBS curriculum related to HSS for a possible restructuring. The task force with the help of the Program Committee identified potential courses that can be developed or modified to cover the following six core domains of HSS: 1. Population and public health, 2. Health care policy, economics, and management 3. Clinical informatics and health information technology, 4. Value-based care, 5. Health system improvement, and 6. Health care delivery structures and processes.
Results
The task force recommended rolling out the HSS curriculum longitudinally, in two phases (pre-clinical and clinical). As a result, a new curriculum map was created in which new courses were added and the domains related to HSS already present were enhanced through some restructuring and upgrading. In addition, several teaching/learning activities and assessment methods have been defined.
Conclusion
We describe systematic process for integrating HSS content at one Saudi medical school, to meet the evolving needs of the health care system. We understand that implementation of these changes is limited by some challenges. However, our experience can be of a significant value for other national medical colleges.
Evolution of unexpected diversity in a putative mating type locus and its correlation with genome variability reveals likely asexuality in the model mycorrhizal fungus Rhizophagus irregularis

Published: October 2023

Abstract

Background
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) form mutualistic partnerships with approximately 80% of plant species. AMF, and its diversity, play a fundamental role in plant growth, driving plant diversity, and global carbon cycles. Knowing whether AMF are sexual or asexual has fundamental consequences for how they can be used in agricultural applications. Evidence for and against sexuality in the model AMF, Rhizophagus irregularis, has been proposed. The discovery of a putative mating-type locus (MAT locus) in R. irregularis, and recombination among nuclei of a dikaryon R. irregularis isolate, suggested sexuality. Unless highly promiscuous, evolution of MAT-locus diversity is expected to be very low. Furthermore, in sexual species, MAT-locus evolution is decoupled from the evolution of arbitrary genome-wide loci.
Results
We studied MAT-locus diversity of R. irregularis. This was then compared to diversification in a phosphate transporter gene (PTG), that is not involved in sex, and to genome-wide divergence, defined by 47378 single nucleotide polymorphisms. Strikingly, we found unexpectedly high MAT-locus diversity indicating that either it is not involved in sex, or that AMF are highly promiscuous. However, a strongly congruent evolutionary history of the MAT-locus, PTG and genome-wide divergence allows us to reject both the hypothesis that the MAT-locus is involved in mating and that the R. irregularis lineage is sexual.
Conclusion
Our finding shapes the approach to developing more effective AMF strains and is highly informative as it suggests that introduced strains applied in agriculture will not exchange DNA with native populations.

Abstract
Determinants of HIV-1 latency establishment are yet to be elucidated. HIV reservoir comprises a rare fraction of infected cells that can survive host and virus-mediated killing. In vitro reporter models so far offered a feasible means to inspect this population, but with limited capabilities to dissect provirus silencing dynamics. Here, we describe a new HIV reporter model; HIV-Timer of cell kinetics and activity (HIV-Tocky) with dual fluorescence spontaneous shifting to reveal provirus silencing and reactivation dynamics. This unique feature allowed; for the first time, identifying two latent populations: a directly latent, and a recently silenced subset, with the latter having integration features suggestive of stable latency. Our proposed model can help address the heterogeneous nature of HIV reservoirs and offers new possibilities for evaluating eradication strategies.

Abstract
The paper aimed to assess the impact of tidal inundation on the livelihoods of Chattogram City dwellers in Bangladesh. This study employed a mixed-method approach, incorporating various data collection methods, including face-to-face interviews, focus group discussions, and key informant interviews. The analysis utilized the weighted average index (WAI) and rank scale. The research was conducted across five wards in Chattogram City: Chandgaon, West Bakalia, North Halisahar, South Agrabad, and Gosaildanga. The study's findings revealed that city residents indicated multiple impacts resulting from tidal inundation, which also heightened livelihood vulnerability. The research identified 29 indicators of vulnerable livelihoods that significantly impacted residents' well-being, categorized as having a very high, high, and moderate impact, with 26 ranks. Notably, limited empirical research has been conducted on the impact of tidal inundation in Bangladesh's coastal areas. This study's comprehensive insights could guide city planners and policymakers in formulating effective policies for the sustainable livelihoods of coastal communities affected by tidal inundation.
