Published: October 2023

Introduction: During the COVID-19 pandemic, personal protective equipment, particularly face masks, has become an essential requirement to engage in social activities. Several articles reported an increase of recurrences of dermatologic facial diseases (i.e., acne, rosacea) related to mask use.
Objectives: To evaluate the number of recurrences of rosacea related to face mask use.
Methods: This prospective study was conducted on adult patients with a pre-pandemic diagnosis of mild and moderate papulopustular rosacea. All patients had previously achieved either partial or complete remission after a 4-month treatment with ivermectin in 2019. We collected data in two different phases characterized by different intensity of mask use during the pandemic and post-pandemic period. We collected data through clinical assessment of the disease, questionnaires on personal habits and standardized skin surface biopsy to study the Demodex mites count.
Results: We enrolled a total of 30 patients. In the pandemic period, 5/30 patients had a relapse of mild papulopustular rosacea; the Demodex sample resulted positive in 4/5 relapsed patients. In the post-pandemic period, 4/30 patients reported a relapse of mild (3 patients) and moderate papulopustular rosacea (1 patient). At the Demodex exam, 1/4 relapsed patients resulted positive.
Conclusions: We did not find a significant increase in relapses of papulopustular rosacea during the pandemic. An appropriate anti-parasitic treatment may reduce the number of recurrences due to mask use.

Bryozoan statoblasts from lake sediments in Madagascar, including two new species
Authors: Wood Timothy S. , Unger Lilian Eva , Rasoamihaingo Laurence 
Published: October 2023

Madagascar is a freshwater biodiversity hotspot, yet the current understanding of freshwater bryozoan diversity is limited. Using a dissecting microscope, bryozoan statoblasts were collected during macrofossil analysis of a sediment core, which was taken from Lake Sofia, Madagascar, in 2019. There was a peak in the abundance of statoblasts prior to 1900, with 67 statoblast valves found at 45.5 cm and a decline in more recent sediments. A subsample of 14 specimens was examined under a scanning electron microscope to determine species identification. One of the species found was Plumatella kinesis. Two new species, Plumatella tsimiheta sp. nov. and Plumatella sofiae sp. nov. were also found and described. These results show the potential of lake sedimentary bryozoan remains for categorising species presence and distribution. Although poor preservation was a limitation for identification, there is still value in having a historical record of past biodiversity, especially when species may no longer be extant. This study highlights the need for further research to better understand the status of these species and other potential new species of bryozoan in Madagascar.
Sediment yield from a tropical mountainous watershed by RUSLE model, An insight for sediment influx into the tropical estuary
Authors: Karapurkar Diksha , Hegde Venkatraman 
Published: October 2023

Sediment yield is the possible volume of sediments that a basin is capable of delivering to its watershed outlet. It is a function of the topography of the drainage basin, climate, including precipitation, land use- land cover, soil characteristics, and other factors associated with the rate of soil formation and its transportation. Modeling sediment yield from a watershed enables computing quantitative estimates of sediments generated from a watershed. The Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) is an efficient model for the assessment of annual soil loss from a basin using remotely sensed data in the Geographical Information System (GIS) platform. In the present study, the assessment of sediment yield from the Gangolli river basin of Karnataka, located on the central west coast of India, is carried out based on satellite data, processed in the GIS platform following the RUSLE model. The basin has a relief of 1200 m and a total catchment area of 1513.04km2, spread on the western face of the Western Ghat region of the South Kanara district. The basin is located in a tropical environment and experiences a hot humid climate and annual precipitation of ~ 355 cm. Physiographically, the basin is divided into three subdivisions; the high-relief mountainous region of the Western Ghats, the residual hilly region with low relief, and the coastal plains. The basin has a high circularity Index (0.25) and a moderately high elongation ratio (0.51). The total actual sediment yield from the basin has been estimated to be 6,32,976.38 tons/yr-1 and the potential yield is 23,26,047.61 tons/yr-1. implying high sediment flux into the estuarine system. The results of this study help to strategize inland soil conservation planning as well as estuarine management.

This study investigated the anti-proliferative effects of biologically active substances (BAS) derived from the mucus of the garden snail Helix aspersa on breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231) and a non-cancerous cell line (MCF-10A). Two mucus fractions with different molecular weights (Mw) were examined, and their interactions with the chemotherapy drugs cisplatin and tamoxifen were evaluated.
The results showed that the mucus fractions exhibited a slight anti-proliferative effect on breast cancer cells, with the fraction having Mw above 50 kDa demonstrating stronger activity compared to the fraction with Mw above 20 kDa. Furthermore, the combination of the mucus fractions with cisplatin or tamoxifen resulted in significant reductions in the half effective dose, indicating possible synergistic effects which were more pronounced with the fraction having Mw above 20 kDa. Dose-response curves and microscopic images supported the presence of such effects, revealing lower IC50 values and significant cell death when the cancer cells were treated with the combination of the mucus fractions and chemotherapy drugs. However, the analysis using the (highest single agent) HSA model indicated mostly additive interactions between the mucus fractions and chemotherapy drugs.
These findings suggest the potential of biologically active substances derived from Helix aspersa mucus in enhancing the anti-proliferative effects of chemotherapy drugs in breast cancer treatment. The identification of additive interactions provides insights into the development of combination therapies with reduced drug dosage. Overall, this study contributes to the understanding of the anti-proliferative effects of Helix aspersa mucus fractions and their interactions with chemotherapy drugs, highlighting their potential as novel therapeutic approaches in breast cancer treatment.
