Harmful traditional eye practices in Nigeria and its burden on eye care: A review of literature
Authors: Nathaniel Godswill Inye , Eze Ugochukwu Anthony 
Published: December 2023

Background/Aim:
The use of traditional eye medication (TEM) is an age-long practice whose negative effects on eye health have been well documented. TEM involves the application of different harmful preparations to the eye as a form of treatment. This article is aimed at highlighting the burden of harmful traditional practices on eye care in Nigeria.

Methodology:
A review of available literature was conducted to summarize the different types of harmful traditional eye practices in Nigeria, including the many different preparations used. Prevalence of harmful traditional practices, determinants, burden in Nigeria. Issues relating to determinants, prevalence, indications for TEM use, presentation of patients with a history of TEM use, ocular complications following TEM use, the pathway to blindness with TEM use, economic burden, and prevention were considered in the review. The prevalence of TEM use was 15.5%, and the common determinants included low socioeconomic status, rural residence, poor access to conventional eye care, and cultural beliefs. The indications for the use of these medications included blurring of vision, red eyes, ocular pain, and itching. Patients who used TEMs presented with various levels of visual impairment (14.5% and 13.1%, respectively, for moderate and severe visual impairment), and 51.3% were reported blind at presentation. The common complications of these agents were corneal scars (opacities), staphylomas, endophthalmitis and panophthalmitis, corneal ulcers and perforations, uveitis, band and bullous keratopathies, complicated cataracts, subluxated lens, and descemetoceles.

Conclusion:
The prevalence of TEM use, visual impairment, and blindness arising from it is high in Nigeria. The ocular morbidities that follow TEM use constitute a significant burden (economic and otherwise) on eye care delivery in the country. A multipronged approach by stakeholders is required to mitigate the enablers of TEM practice in Nigeria. Furthermore, where there are complications, prompt referral to an ophthalmologist is advocated as they are well-equipped to provide the most appropriate management.

Published: December 2023

ABSTRACT
Mosquitoes are a known public nuisance and can vector various diseases. Historically, New Orleans, LA, has long been acquainted with the burden of mosquito-borne diseases, such as malaria and yellow fever in the 20th century and West Nile virus in the 21st century. Government mosquito control awareness campaigns have been around for decades as has the use of organophosphate and pyrethroid insecticides by mosquito abatement districts. However, few data are available on public perception of mosquito control and public usage of insecticides to kill mosquitoes in New Orleans. We conducted a survey from August 2020 to July 2021 to evaluate New Orleans residents’ 1) general knowledge regarding mosquito control and 2) what measures and products they use to control mosquitoes. The aim of this survey was to determine how residents contribute to backyard mosquito control by do-it-yourself or professional applications of insecticides. The survey was disseminated both online and via mail. Of the 396 survey participants, nearly all (99.48%) agreed that mosquito control is important in New Orleans because it prevents mosquito bites (30.85%), prevents mosquito borne-diseases (38.51%), and prevents nuisance mosquitoes (29.17%). More than one-third (35%) of survey participants indicated that they empty containers to reduce adult mosquitoes on their own property. More than two-thirds of the participants (69.95%) would not hire a pest management professional to spray their yard for adult mosquitoes, and only 20% of survey participants do apply a pesticide to kill adult mosquitoes on their own property. None of our findings were associated with the level of education, gender, or age of participants. This study suggests that the City of New Orleans Mosquito, Termite and Rodent Control Board educational and outreach campaigns may be an effective tool in spreading mosquito control awareness and contribute to residents’ knowledge of mosquito control. The data we collected indicate that residents understand what mosquito control is and why it is important in New Orleans.
Do It Yourself: A Modernized Gravid Trap Design for Mosquito Surveillance
Authors: Dewsnup M. Andrew , Widmer Thomas D. , Branham Ella J. , Faraji Ary , White Gregory S. , Bibbs Christopher S. 
Published: December 2023

ABSTRACT
Gravid traps have become a common and frequently essential surveillance tool for parous Culex spp. vectors of West Nile virus and other encephalitis-causing pathogens. The recent closing of BioQuip Products Inc., an entomological supply company, has jeopardized the commercial availability of gravid traps. The Salt Lake City Mosquito Abatement District presents herein a template for making your own gravid trap, but with some modernizations for quieter fans and longer lasting, light weight, lithium battery packs. At the time of writing, the materials cost for the fan ($14 USD), toolbox ($13), cables ($9), ABS pipe ($2.50), aluminum brackets ($10), catch container with lid ($9), trap net ($10), USB battery pack ($35) and the negligible amount of 3D-printed filament ($2), is approximately half the cost (not including labor) of the formerly available commercial model. Additionally, performance validation in the laboratory (t4,9 = 0.1191, P &lt; 0.9109) and within two field sites (χ2 = 0.107, P &lt; 0.744) demonstrated no significant differences in collections of gravid Culex pipiens. We do not present an overhaul of the previous gravid trap blueprint, but the quality-of-life updates to the trap design, the feasibility of in-house manufacture, and the mirrored collection efficacy to the commercial model can allow improved maintenance of gravid trap surveillance networks without a commercial supplier.
Detection of Aedes Scapularis In Southwestern Florida
Authors: Heinig Rebecca , Morreale Rachel , Reeves Lawrence , Lloyd Aaron , Hoel David , Lucas Keira J. 
Published: December 2023

ABSTRACT
Aedes scapularis has recently been detected for the first time in southwestern Florida. During the course of research and surveillance activities by local mosquito control districts in 2020 and 2021, a total of 190 adult females were collected from 14 separate locations in Collier and Lee Counties. To date, Ae. scapularis has been found in 5 counties since its rediscovery in Florida in 2006. Its detection and likely northward expansion into Collier and Lee Counties from the southern Florida Peninsula is in line with ecological niche model predictions that found the environment of the Gulf Coast of southwestern Florida to be highly suitable for the species. Due to its potential ability to transmit both exotic and endemic pathogens such as Everglades virus and Dirofilaria immitis, understanding the range and distribution of Ae. scapularis should be a priority for Florida mosquito control and public health agencies.

Periodic traveling waves in Fermi–Pasta–Ulam type systems with nonlocal interaction on 2d-lattice
Authors: Bak S. M. , Kovtonyuk G. M. 
Published: December 2023

The paper deals with the Fermi--Pasta--Ulam type systems that describe an infinite systems of nonlinearly coupled particles with nonlocal interaction on a two dimensional lattice. It is assumed that each particle interacts nonlinearly with several neighbors horizontally and vertically on both sides. The main result concerns the existence of traveling waves solutions with periodic relative displacement profiles. We obtain sufficient conditions for the existence of such solutions with the aid of critical point method and a suitable version of the Mountain Pass Theorem for functionals satisfying the Cerami condition instead of the Palais--Smale condition. We prove that under natural assumptions there exist monotone traveling waves.
Supracerebellar infratentorial resection of a torcular lesion causing fulminant intracranial hypertension: illustrative case
Authors: Dallas Jonathan , Lane Jessica R , Hopkins Benjamin S , Chang Melinda , Borchert Mark , Gonzalez Nestor R , Chiarelli Peter A , Chu Jason K 
Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND
Venous sinus stenosis has been implicated in intracranial hypertension and can lead to papilledema and blindness. The authors report the unique case of a cerebellar transtentorial lesion resulting in venous sinus stenosis in the torcula and bilateral transverse sinuses that underwent resection.

OBSERVATIONS
A 5-year-old male presented with subacute vision loss and bilateral papilledema. Imaging demonstrated a lesion causing mass effect on the torcula/transverse sinuses and findings of increased intracranial pressure (ICP). A lumbar puncture confirmed elevated pressure, and the patient underwent bilateral optic nerve sheath fenestration. Cerebral angiography and venous manometry showed elevated venous sinus pressures suggestive of venous hypertension. The patient underwent a craniotomy and supracerebellar/infratentorial approach. A stalk emanating from the cerebellum through the tentorium was identified and divided. Postoperative magnetic resonance imaging showed decreased lesion size and improved sinus patency. Papilledema resolved and other findings of elevated ICP improved. Pathology was consistent with atrophic cerebellar cortex. Serial imaging over 6 months demonstrated progressive decrease in the lesion with concurrent improvements in sinus patency.

LESSONS
Although uncommon, symptoms of intracranial hypertension in patients with venous sinus lesions should prompt additional workup ranging from dedicated venous imaging to assessments of ICP and venous manometry.
BİR GOTİK ROMAN: BUHRAN GECESİ
Authors: MENGİ Nesrin 
Published: December 2023

Gotik edebiyatın temel unsurlarından biri olarak kabul edilen korku, ilkel insanlardan bu yana insanoğlunu hayatta tutmaya yarayan duygulardan biri olmuştur. Korku, bilinemeyen varlık âlemlerine karşı sınırsız bir hayal gücü geliştirerek ortaya birtakım malzemeler çıkarmıştır ve bu malzemeler mimaride, resimde, tiyatroda, sinemada ve edebiyatta farklı formlarla kendine yer edinmiştir. Köken itibariyle “barbar” anlamına gelen ve ikinci yüzyıl toplumu olan Gotlardan adını alan “gotik” kavramının karanlık dönem olarak bilinen Orta Çağ’daki mimari yapılardan ve resimlerden etkilenerek bir edebî türe dönüşmesi 18. yüzyılda gerçekleşir.
Gotik edebiyat, modern olanın insan zihninde açtığı boşluğun giderilmesi amacıyla ortaya çıkmıştır. Bir diğer husus da gotik edebiyatın içinde aykırılığı, bunalımı, aşırılığı barındırması ve bunları yer yer dönemin eleştirisi yapmak için araç olarak kullanıyor olmasıdır. Gotik edebiyat, insanı korkuya ve dehşete sürükleyen bir atmosferi yaratmak isteyebilir fakat bunu yaparken olağan dışı durumlar aracılığıyla Orta Çağ’da kilisenin, Aydınlanma Çağı’nda rasyonalitenin, modern çağda ise teknolojinin ortaya koyduğu olumsuz durumların eleştirisini de yapar.
Suat Derviş, Türk edebiyatında gotik türün önemli temsilcileri arasındadır. Yazar, Osmanlı İmparatorluğunun yıkılma döneminde İstanbul işgal altındayken yazdığı gotik eserlerinde mekân olarak doğanın içinde, şehirden uzak, bakımsız, kasvetli, aynı zamanda gizemli köşkleri seçer. Öyle ki, İstanbul’un ve İstanbullunun içinde yaşadığı kaosu kentin uzağında kullanılmayan ya da nadiren kullanılan heybetini kaybetmiş konaklara taşır. Bu eski konaklar tüm kasvetiyle yazarın gotik hikâyelerinin merkezine yerleşirken etraflarını saran doğa tüm renk, koku ve huzur veren etkisiyle okuyucuyu pitoresk estetikle buluşturur.
Makalede, Suat Derviş’in Buhran Gecesi romanı mekânın betimlenmesi, kişilerin oluşturulma biçimi, tekinsizlik unsurlarının bulunması, gotik edebiyata yardımcı olarak kullanılan deri kaplı eşyalar, kılıçlar, koyu renkli duvar halıları, ahşap renkler, loş ortamlar, sivri kubbeler, geniş salonlar vs. gibi pek çok detayın kullanılmasıyla gotik türe özgü bir eser olarak değerlendirilir. Çalışmada, Gotik edebiyatta sıkça işlenen “lanet” teması üzerine kurulan ve yazarın Anadolu’da yaygın mitolojik inançlarla genişlettiği Buhran Gecesi romanının korku, kıskançlık gibi aşırı duyguların neden olduğu tekinsiz olay örgüsüyle de türün özelliğini yansıttığı sonucuna varılır.

Published: December 2023

When observed from a natural vector space viewpoint, Fermat’s last theorem appears not as a unique property of natural numbers, but as the bottom line of extended possible issues involving larger dimensions and powers. The fabric of this general Fermat’s theorem structure consists of a well-defined set of vectors associated with \(N-\) dimensional vector spaces and the Minkowski norms one can define there. Here, this special vector set is studied and named a Fermat surface. The connection between Fermat surfaces and hypercubes is unveiled.

Published: December 2023

Sindrom Kardiorenal adalah penyakit multi-organ, meliputi jantung, ginjal dan disfungsi sistem vaskular dimana gangguan ginjal sering disertai dengan gagal jantung dan disfungsi jantung menyebabkan Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) atau Cronic Kidney Disease, yang berujung kepada kebutuhan akan tindakan hemodialisis. Tindakan hemodialisis dapat menimbulkan berbagai komplikasi. Komplikasi yang paling sering adalah hipotensi intradialitik. Salah satu upaya untuk mencegah gangguan stabilitas tekanan darah adalah dengan mengatur suhu dialisat. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk melihat pengaruh suhu dialisat terhadap stabilitas tekanan darah. Penelitian ini menggunakan jenis penelitian kuantitatif quasi experiment, pre and post test dimana peneliti akan memberikan intervensi pada subyek penelitian, kemudian membandingkan efek sebelum dan sesudah intervensi. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada 18 pasien dengan pre test dan post test dalam satu kelompok. Pasien dinilai selama dua sesi dialisis; satu sesi dengan suhu dialisat normal (37ºC) dan di sesi lain, suhu dialisat rendah (35,5ºC). Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan adanya peningkatan tekanan darah sistolik, diastolik dan Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) secara signifikan dengan nilai p = 0,001. Dialisat suhu rendah sangat bermanfaat untuk meningkatkan toleransi terhadap dialisis pada pasien sindrom kardiorenal yang cenderung hipotensi dan menjaga stabilitas hemodinamik selama dan setelah dialisis.
