Abstract
Over the past few years, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) has shown a global spread. While various governments and medical organizations are still attempting to control the disease's spread to overcome the global health crisis, the development of vaccines has also contributed in decelerating the spread. India has been among the top death-toll nations caused due to SARS-CoV-2. Among the global data, India was found to be the third country with the highest mortality cases of 157 thousand, and Maharashtrawas having the most higher number of mortality cases followed by Tamil Nadu and others. Retrospective study on data from 28 Indian states and 8 Union Territories (UTs) provided a detailed look at the transmission pathways and case fatality rate (CFR) of the SARS-CoV-2. The percent distribution of CFR calculated in each geographical zone of India i.e. Central, Eastern, North Eastern and Northern, Southern and Western zone was 17%, 14%, 7%, 22%, 12%, and 28%, respectively. The CFR was significantly (P<0.01) higher in period II comprising April to June of the year 2020. We calculated the CFR for every month using a standard formula and noted that the CFR varied significantly across different times of year (P<0.01). Moreover, CFR was also evaluated spatially across different geographical zones in India. We observed that western zone showed the highest CFR as compared to other zones. The epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 was evaluated in patients of various ages and co-morbidities. Patients >21 years had the highest age-specific positivity rate. The prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 patients in acute and chronic diseases was 12.87 and 87.13 percent, respectively. Thus, this analytical epidemiological study serves specifically in establishing a relationship between SARS-CoV-2 infection and other precipitating factors causing morbidity and mortality during the given time frame in the first wave, in the year 2020 (Jan-Dec, 2020).

Abstract
The pursuit of sustainable manufacturing for organic solar cells (OSCs) has prompted the exploration of environmentally friendly, non-halogenated solvents. However, contemporary OSCs processed with these solvents often require the inclusion of toxic halogenated additives to optimize photovoltaic performance. In this study, we devised a processing method that incorporates not only a non-halogenated solvent but also a non-halogenated additive. The introduction of the eco-friendly menthol (MT) effectively mitigates detrimental disordered aggregation during film formation by leveraging its strong polarity to enhance acceptor crystallization, thereby optimizing the donor-acceptor morphology. These advancements ultimately lead to more efficient exciton dissociation and charge carrier transport, resulting in the realization of large-area organic photovoltaic modules (19.31 cm2) with a notable power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 15.74%. To the best of our knowledge, this PCE represents the highest reported value for large-area modules processed with non-halogenated solvents and is comparable to state-of-the-art organic photovoltaic modules processed with conventional halogenated solvents. This research underscores the significant potential of fully non-halogenated processing in achieving sustainable manufacturing for high-performance OSCs.

Published: January 2024

Abstract

This paper addresses the role of visitors or ‘attendants’ in the transmission and management of infection risk in a public referral hospital in Uganda. The study built on research on maternal sepsis which found that over 50% antibiotics administered in the hospital were for Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIs). The data was collected during the COVID-19 pandemic which introduced new risks and heightened concern about social movements within hospitals and between hospitals and communities. In the first study of its kind, observational data was collected on a 24/7 basis to capture the presence and roles of attendants in a low resource setting exposing both the infection risks associated with these forms of movement but also the absolute necessity of attendants in the management of infection risk in such contexts. The paper responds directly to a recent call for a ‘new conversation on infection prevention and compassion’ (Storr et al, 2023;408).

Published: January 2024

Abstract
Objectives: Individuals in pain, whether severe or mild to moderate, perform less cognitively. There are links between cognitive function and symptoms, including mental slowness, memory issues, and attentional impairment. Thus, getting thorough dental treatment could enhance mental wellness. When a child needs extensive dental work, or exhibits acute situational anxiety, whole-mouth rehabilitation under general anesthesia (GA) is one therapeutic alternative.
Aim of the work:This study looked at changes in cognition and the brain's function in children who had extensive dental rehabilitation while under general anesthesia.
Materials and methods: Thirty uncooperative, healthy male and female children, ages six to twelve, with various dental issues, were enrolled in the study. Before the treatment, one week later, and three months later, their pain was assessed using the Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale (WBFPS) as well as Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, and Consolability (FLACC). Assessments of cognitive function using the Digit Span Subtest (DS) and Electroencephalogram (EEG) were also evaluated. The data collection was statistically analyzed.
Results: All children showed a significant improvement regarding pain when evaluated by themselves or their parents after dental procedures at 1 week and 3 months later. Also, there were improvements in cognitive functions after dental procedures.
Conclusion: The research findings indicate that full mouth rehabilitation under general anaesthesia improved pain as well as cognitive and brain functions in children.
Clinical Relevance: severe dental pain in addition to the child's negative behavior interferes with routine dental visits and also with different brain and cognitive functions, so whole mouth rehabilitation under GA may be able to address these issues.

Abstract
Background
The recent combination of genomics and single cell transcriptomics has allowed to assess a variety of non-conventional model organisms in much more depth. Single cell transcriptomes can uncover hidden cellular complexity and cell lineage relationships within organisms. The recent developmental cell atlases of the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis, a representative of the basally branching Cnidaria, has provided new insights into the development of all cell types (1,2). However, the mapping of the single cell reads still suffers from relatively poor gene annotations and a draft genome consisting of many scaffolds.
Results
Here we present a new wildtype resource of the developmental single cell atlas, by re-mapping of sequence data first published in Steger, Denner, Cole, et al 2022 (1) and Cole, Jahnel et al, 2023 (3), to the new chromosome-level genome assembly and corresponding gene models in (4). We expand the pre-existing dataset through the incorporation of additional sequence data derived from the capture and sequencing of cell suspensions from four additional samples: 24hr gastrula, 2d planula, an inter-parietal region of the bodywall from a young unsexed animal, and another adult mesentery from a mature male animal.
Conclusion
Our analyses of the full cell-state complement provide transcriptomic signatures for 127 distinct cell states, of which 47 correspond to neuroglandular subtypes. We also identify two distinct putatively immune-related transcriptomic profiles that segregate between the inner and outer cell layers. Furthermore, the new gene annotation Nv2 has markedly improved the mapping on the single cell transcriptome data and will therefore be of great value for the community and anyone using the dataset.

Published: January 2024

Abstract

The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of thymol on growth performance and apparent total tract digestibility of nutrients in severely feed-restricted lambs. Twenty-one male Baluchi lambs were randomly blocked by live weight into three groups: control without feed restriction (CON), feed restricted (FR), and feed restricted plus thymol (FR + T). The lambs underwent a four-week feed restriction period followed by four weeks of realimentation. Thymol was administered daily to the FR + T group during the feed restriction period. Average daily gain (ADG), average daily feed intake, feed efficiency (FE), partial efficiency of maintenance (PEM), and residual feed intake (RFI) were measured as growth performance parameters. Results showed that the severe feed restriction had adverse effects on ADG and FE, but improved PEM. The effects of thymol administration on ADG, FE, PEM, and apparent total tract digestibility were not significant. However, the lambs that received thymol during feed restriction period showed a negative RFI during realimentation. Overall, these findings suggest that feed restriction as well as thymol may have the potential to improve efficiency of feed utilization in growing lambs. However, this positive effect is independent of the improvement in nutrient digestibility.

Published: January 2024

Abstract

Background: - Among the most prevalent birth defects in newborns are congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT). Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common bacterial infections in children, and it is more common in kidney and urinary tract abnormalities.
The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of urinary tract infections and its determinants among 0-59-month-old children with congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract in Addis Ababa.
Methods: A health institution-based retrospective cross-sectional study was employed on 389 medical records of children with CAKUT at Tikur Anbesa and Menelik II Specialized Hospitals from March 1 to April 10, 2023, among those admitted between January 1, 2018, and December 31, 2022. The study hospitals were purposively selected, and each study participant was recruited by a systematic random sampling technique. Sociodemographic, clinical, and laboratory characteristics were reviewed using a structured data extraction sheet. The data were entered and cleaned using Kobo-toolbox statistical software and subsequently transferred to SPSS version 25 for further analysis. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the associations of variables with a P value of 0.05 and a confidence interval of 95%.
Results. The majority of the study participants (336 [86.4%]) were males. A total of 194 (49.8%) children were older than 25 months, with a mean age of 24.2 (±13.4) months. A total of 117 (30.1%) (95% CI=25.4-35.2) study participants were positive for urinary tract infection (UTI).
Escherichia coli was the most frequently isolated bacteria followed by Klebsiella pneumonia, Enterobacter spp, and Staphylococci spp. Factors associated with UTI among CAKUT children were found to be being female (AOR = 4.3, 95% CI = (1.4–13.07), children having Posterior Ureteral Valve (AOR = 4.8, 95% CI = (2.32–9.93), duration of hospitalization (>4 days) (AOR = 3.08, 95% CI = (1.52-6.24), and children having fever (AOR = 5.8, 95% CI = (2.81–11.97).
Conclusion In this study, almost 1/3 of the children developed UTIs, and female sex, longer hospitalization, PUV, and fever were found to be independent risk factors for the occurrence of UTIs.

Authors: Mirzaei Kamran , Khalaji Marjan 
Published: January 2024

Abstract

Background
The decisions people make regarding oral health reflect their values. Prioritizing oral and dental health is crucial for public health. This study aimed to assess the validity and reliability of the Persian version of the Oral Health Values Questionnaire.
Methods
A cross-sectional study was conducted on 500 adults aged 18 years and older in the health centers of Shiraz in 2011. The OHVS questionnaire was translated into Persian and conceptually and operationally equated. Participants completed the Iranian version of the OHVS, which consists of a 12-item scale with a four-factor structure (professional dental care, appearance and health, flossing, and preservation of natural teeth). Test-retest and Cronbach's alpha were used to evaluate the internal consistency of the questionnaire. To determine the adequacy of the sample, the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) index with a minimum value of 0.7, Bartlett's test of sphericity, eigenvalues greater than 1, and the Varimax rotation model were used with SPSS Version 24 statistical software.
Results
The findings of the study indicated that all questions had satisfactory Content Validity Ratio (CVR) and Content Validity Index (CVI), scoring above the expected thresholds of 0.8 and 0.9, respectively. The test-retest correlation results confirmed the questionnaire's reliability, with a correlation coefficient of less than 0.7 for all questions and their sub-areas. Internal consistency was also observed, as Cronbach's alpha exceeded 0.7 in all areas, including the overall assessment. Factor analysis identified four main components with eigenvalues greater than 1, which together explained 58.963% of the total variance.
Conclusions
The Persian version of the OHVS questionnaire has demonstrated excellent levels of validity and reliability. Therefore, it can be considered a reliable and valuable instrument for epidemiological and behavioral dental studies.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of expressive writing on sexual self-concept in men with multiple sclerosis. It was registered in IRCT with the code IRCT20211028052892N1 on 17/11/2021. The study was a randomized controlled clinical study conducted on 70 men attending an MS clinic in Tehran in 2022. The participants were randomly assigned to intervention and control groups. For two weeks, participants in the intervention group disclosed their emotions and expressed their feelings in writing twice a week. Sexual self-concept was evaluated using the Multidimensional Sexual Self-Concept Questionnaire on three occasions. Data analysis was performed using SPSS V22. Based on the results of Generalized Estimating Equations, there was a statistically significant difference only in the area of internal control of sexual issues in the intervention group after the completion of the written intervention (p = 0.046). However, there was an increase in the area of fear of sexual intercourse after the completion of the intervention, in both groups (p = 0.017). Nevertheless, there was no statistically significant difference in the mean of positive and negative sexual self-concept in the two groups (P = 0.756 and P = 0.334). In general, written expression was able to make a significant difference in some subscales of sexual self-concept dimensions.

Abstract

Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) is a groundbreaking technology that has a significant potential for sixth generation (6G) networks. Its unique capability to control wireless environments makes it an attractive option. However, the spatial diversity increased by assisting users with all deployed RISs, this investigation has two drawbacks the high complexity design and the received signals by the far RISs are severely attenuated. Therefore, we propose a RIS selection strategy to select the proper RISs as a pre-stage before the joint beamforming between the base station (BS) and RISs to reduce the high complexity of joint beamforming optimization. Furthermore, the joint active and passive beamforming problem based on the selection is formulated. Hence, achieving spatial diversity by examining cooperation between passive beamforming of multi-hop RIS, leads to a challenging problem. To tackle this issue, we design an algorithm for the RIS selection scheme. Also, to relax the non-convexity of the proposed problem, we decouple the problem into solvable subproblems by utilizing the fractional programming (FP) and quadratic transform (QT) optimization methods. Simulation results have demonstrated through different user locations the effectiveness of the selection strategy in performance enhancement by 30% in the sum rate. Besides, an obvious reduction in the complexity cost than other techniques.
