ABSTRACT

Introduction
Physical activity (PA), regardless of domain, is recommended for pregnant individuals in clinical guidelines, but limited evidence is available for work-related PA. This study aimed to examine the associations of occupational (OPA) and leisure-time PA (LTPA) with plasma high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), a risk marker for adverse pregnancy outcomes, among pregnant individuals.

Methods
This longitudinal study included 257 workers in the fetal growth cohort. OPA/LTPA and hs-CRP were measured in each trimester. OPA/LTPA was divided into high and low groups by the median level. Multivariable linear regressions were applied to estimate the adjusted geometric mean differences of hs-CRP (mg·L−1) comparing high versus low OPA/LTPA in each trimester and the changes in OPA/LTPA over pregnancy.

Results
OPA was positively associated with hs-CRP (high: 5.14 vs low: 3.59; P value: 0.001) in the first trimester, particularly for standing/walking or walking fast, regardless of carrying things. LTPA was negatively associated with hs-CRP in the second (high: 3.93 vs low: 5.08; 0.02) and third trimesters (high: 3.30 vs low: 4.40; 0.046). Compared with the low OPA + high LTPA group, hs-CRP was higher in both the high OPA + high LTPA and high OPA + low LTPA groups in the first trimester, and in the high OPA + low LTPA group only in the third trimester. The change in OPA during pregnancy was positively associated with hs-CRP, whereas the change in LTPA was negatively associated with hs-CRP from the second to the third trimester.

Conclusions
In pregnant individuals, LTPA was negatively associated with hs-CRP, whereas OPA was positively associated with hs-CRP. More research on OPA’s health impact among pregnant individuals is needed, and guidelines may consider the potential unfavorable influence of OPA on pregnant individuals.

Authors: Zaheer Naauman , Shahbaz Maliha , Zaheer Usman , Wyne Amjad H 
Published: December 2023

Objective: This retrospective, cross-sectional analytical study investigated the incidence of tooth agenesis in cleft lip and palate (CLP) patients. Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) radiographs of the CLP children were examined for congenitally missing teeth.
Method: This study was conducted at three radiology centers in Lahore, namely, the Pakistan Jinnah MRI and Body Scan Centre, the University of Lahore Radiology Centres, and Fatima Memorial Hospital, from September 2021 to August 2022. The CLP patients were divided into four groups based on the location of the cleft: Cleft Lip and Palate Right (CLPR), Cleft Lip and Palate Left (CLPL), Bilateral Cleft (CLPB), and Midline Cleft (CLPM), inside and outside the cleft region. Two-way ANOVA was employed to compare the means of agenesis. Tukey’s test was utilized to ascertain where the difference lies. The significance level was set at p ≤ 0.05.
Results: Moreover, a significant number of missing teeth were found inside the cleft. This study observed the CLPL (42.3%) and CLPR (13.6%) types more in number. Maxillary first premolars were found more missing outside the cleft region in CLPL and CLPB types. Although CLPB and CLPM types revealed a pattern of missing teeth, only a few cases were found in this study. Moreover, mean tooth agenesis was highest (4.5 SD.71) in the CLPM group, followed up by CLPB (2.75 SD 2.49), CLPR (1.23 SD 1.27), and CLPL Group (1.15 SD 1.12).
Conclusions: Unilateral cleft lip and palate patients reported significant agenesis patttern compared to bilateral and median cleft cases.

Experimental demonstration of a Fano resonant hybrid plasmonic metasurface absorber for the O and E bands of the optical communication window
Authors: Verma Sagar Kumar , Srivastava Sachin Kumar 
Published: December 2023

Plasmonic metasurface absorbers are capable of absorbing the incident light at wavelengths corresponding to the excitation of Fano resonant modes. Absorption of the incident light is possible because of its confinement near the edges of the plasmonic nanostructure. Confinement of light takes place because of the coupling of superradiant and subradiant modes near the edges of the plasmonic metasurface. Superradiant and subradiant modes are excited for the oblique angle incidence of transverse magnetic (TM)-polarized light. The incidence of TM-polarized light supports the excitation of surface plasmon modes at the metal–dielectric interface. For the oblique angle incidence, surface plasmon modes couple with the incident light and generate the superradiant and subradiant modes near the plasmonic metasurface. We experimentally demonstrate the absorption of near-infrared light in the O and E optical communication band by a one-dimensional (1D) hybrid plasmonic metasurface. A low-cost, and flexible, 1D hybrid plasmonic metasurface absorber (HPMA) was obtained by extracting an Ag-coated, flexible, and 1D patterned polycarbonate layer from a digital versatile disc (DVD). The DVD consists of an Ag layer sandwiched between two 1D patterned polycarbonate layers. A large-area HPMA of 3cm2 in size was fabricated for optical characterization. Control experiments on the variation of the angle of incidence of light were performed to achieve the maximum light absorption of 79%. The effect of transverse electric (TE)- and TM-polarized light on the HPMA was studied. The effect of the thickness of the polymer layer on the HPMA, and per unit change of refractive index (RIU) of the analyte medium, were also investigated. HPMA supports refractive index sensing characteristics with a maximum sensitivity of 954 nm/RIU. Electric field profiles at different incidence angles were simulated using the finite element method on COMSOL Multiphysics software to explain the underlying physics of Fano resonance. HPMA can be used to develop cost-effective photonic devices such as sensors, spectral filters, photodetectors, heat-absorbing protective photonic covers, etc.

BackgroundManagement of uterine evacuation is essential for increasing safe abortion care. Monitoring through surveillance systems tracks changes in clinical practice and provides information to improve equity in abortion care quality.ObjectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the frequency of manual vacuum aspiration (MVA) and medical abortion (MA), and identify the factors associated with each uterine evacuation method after surveillance network installation at a Brazilian hospital.MethodsThis cross-sectional study included women admitted for abortion or miscarriage to the University of Campinas Women’s Hospital, Brazil, between July 2017 and November 2020. The dependent variables were the use of MVA and MA with misoprostol. The independent variables were the patients’ clinical and sociodemographic data. The Cochran–Armitage, chi-square, and Mann–Whitney U tests, as well as multiple logistic regression analysis, were used to compare uterine evacuation methods.ResultsWe enrolled 474 women in the study, 91.35% of whom underwent uterine evacuation via uterine curettage (78.75%), MVA (9.46%), or MA (11.54%). MVA use increased during the study period (Z = 9.85, p < 0.001). Admission in 2020 (odds ratio [OR] 64.22; 95% confidence interval [CI] 3.79–1086.69) and lower gestational age (OR 0.837; 95% CI 0.724–0.967) were independently associated with MVA, whereas the only factor independently associated with MA was a higher education level (OR 2.66; 95% CI 1.30–5.46).ConclusionMVA use increased following the installation of a surveillance network for good clinical practice. Being part of a network that encourages the use of evidence-based methods provides an opportunity for healthcare facilities to increase access to safe abortions.

Published: December 2023

ABSTRACT
Follicular lymphoma (FL) is a common form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Although extranodal involvement of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is common in lymphomas, primary GI-FL confined to the GI tract is relatively rare. The disease process is typically indolent in nature and usually incidentally found. Among this subset of patients, the duodenum and terminal ileum tend to be the most common site of origin. Here, we present a rare case of primary multifocal GI-FL that found incidentally during routine colonoscopy with subsequent esophagogastroduodenoscopy and video capsule endoscopy revealing duodenal, jejunal, and sigmoid colon involvement.

Published: December 2023

ABSTRACT
Shingles, also known as herpes zoster, is caused by the reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus (VZV). The risk of developing shingles increases with age, as well as in patients with weakened immune systems. Tofacitinib is a reversible Janus kinase inhibitor that suppresses the immune system and is used to treat autoimmune diseases, such as ulcerative colitis. Recombinant VZV vaccine is recommended for individuals taking tofacitinib and is highly effective at reducing the risk of shingles. This case report describes a patient with severe, refractory ulcerative colitis who developed shingles while on tofacitinib, despite prior vaccination with the recombinant VZV vaccine.

ABSTRACT
Liposarcoma is the most common type of soft-tissue sarcoma and typically occurs in the extremities or retroperitoneum. Primary liposarcoma of the pancreas is exceedingly rare, with only 10 cases reported since 1979. We present a patient who was incidentally discovered to have a pancreatic mass on imaging, which was ultimately diagnosed as dedifferentiated pancreatic liposarcoma. We review the clinical and histologic features of pancreatic liposarcoma in this case and in the 10 previously reported cases to increase awareness and knowledge of this rare disease.

Published: December 2023

Full-time working mothers face numerous challenges that can lead to anxiety. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between mindful parenting and anxiety among full-time working mothers. The participants in this study consisted of 99 mothers engaged in full-time employment. The sampling technique used was convenience sampling. Data were collected using the Mindful Parenting Scale and the Anxiety Scale from the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS). Data were analyzed using product-moment correlation analysis. The results of the data analysis showed a correlation (rxy) = -0.210 with p < 0.050. This result indicates a negative correlation between mindful parenting and anxiety among full-time working mothers, meaning that higher level of mindful parenting is associated with lower level of anxiety. Conversely, lower level of mindful parenting is associated with higher level of anxiety. Therefore, it is recommended to provide intervention to enhance mindful parenting among working mothers to help reduce their anxiety.

Published: December 2023

While the construction of collective promises is vital to the success of any techno-scientific innovation, it also entails the risk of overpromising and cycles of hype and disappointment. This article explores the discursive construction of the nuclear sector’s latest promise concerning small modular reactors (SMRs), using Finland as an example. It provides a brief overview of the Finnish context of SMR development and analyzes it's coverage in the leading Finnish daily newspaper Helsingin Sanomat 2000–2022. Efforts at promise construction have so far been aimed at building legitimacy for SMRs, while strengthening credibility – another key element of successful promise construction – has only just begun. The increasing number of SMR-related articles indicates a growing hype, but the absence of a corresponding ‘hype language’ suggests that the considerable media attention does not automatically translate into emphatic media coverage and discursive hyping.

Published: December 2023

Tuberculosis is an infectious disease. This disease causes death and the world notes that Tuberculosis has a high mortality rate. A mathematical model of Tuberculosis with two infection stages of individuals, pre infected and actively infected, is studied in this paper. The rate of treatment considered in this model. The stability analysis of the equilibrium is determined by the basic reproduction ratio. Routh Hurwitz linearization is used for investigate the local stability of uninfected equilibrium. While the global stability of endemic equilibrium is investigated by construct Lyapunov function. The effect of treatment in pre infected and actively infected stages can reduce the spread rate of Tuberculosis as shown in numerical simulation.
