Published: October 2023

ABSTRACT

Context:
Disturbances in sleep affects the overall quality of a child’s life, with several short- and long-lasting consequences. Hence, early diagnosis and monitoring is crucial in the management of sleep disorders in children.

Aims:
The aim of this study was to evaluate salivary C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in a group of children with Class II malocclusion and sleep problems before and after twin-block appliance therapy.

Settings and Design:
The study was a prospective clinical study with a 9-month follow-up period.

Subjects and Methods:
Eleven children aged 8–12 years with skeletal Class II malocclusion and at least one sleep disorder were enrolled in the study. All children were subjected to a recording of their sleep history and a clinical as well as radiographic examination. Pretreatment levels of salivary CRP were recorded. A twin-block appliance was custom made and delivered to every child. At the end of 9-month follow-up, all children were recalled for a re-evaluation of salivary biomarker levels.

Statistical Analysis:
Pretreatment and posttreatment changes in biomarker levels were assessed statistically using the students paired t-test.

Results:
Levels of salivary biomarker CRP were significantly decreased in children following myofunctional therapy using a twin-block appliance (P < 0.001). There was a considerable improvement in the clinical symptoms such as a decrease in snoring and noisy breathing in most children post-twin-block therapy.

Conclusion:
The measurement of salivary biomarker CRP could be used as an alternative and noninvasive method to evaluate prognosis of oral myofunctional therapy for children with sleep disordered breathing.

Introduction:
This study was conducted to provide detailed information about clinical characteristics and short-term treatment outcome of childhood headache.

Materials and Methods:
This prospective observational study was done over a period of 15 months (January 2013 to March 2014) at a rural tertiary care center in North India. Detailed history, clinical examination, specialty review, and follow-up details were maintained on pretested structured proforma. Final diagnosis of headache type was made as per International Classification of Headache Disorders, 2nd edition.

Results:
Out of 100 (45 boys) children aged 8–18 years, 52% were diagnosed with migraine, 23% with tension-type headache, and 25% with secondary headache. Diffuse headache was the commonest (41%), and photophobia, phonophobia, and dizziness were the commonest symptoms in all headache subtypes. Sixty-five percentage of migraine headache were triggered by exertion. Lack of sleep and anxiety were triggers in most (65%) of tension type headache. Of 52 migraine children, 21 were started on prophylaxis for migraine and 14 of them reported significant improvement. Secondary causes for headache were found in 25% of children and half of them were having refractive errors.

Conclusions:
Results of the study show migraine being the commonest type of headache in children followed by secondary headache. This study also highlights the need for long-term follow-up of childhood headache.

Published: October 2023

Introdução: O chumbo é um metal pesado encontrado na composição de diferentes tipos de agrotóxicos os quais são amplamente utilizados por produtores rurais no controle de pragas. Os agrotóxicos são facilmente disseminados pelo ar, solo, água ou alimentos contaminados, possuem alto poder de intoxicação e podem causar diversas alterações no organismo como distúrbios gastrointestinais, neurológicos e até a morte. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a concentração sérica de chumbo em população ambientalmente expostos à agrotóxicos, bem como parâmetros bioquímicos e hematológicos. Métodos: Tratou-se de um estudo transversal, com análise quantitativa em população organizada em dois grupos, participantes ambientalmente expostos à agrotóxicos (N= 23) e participantes não expostos (N= 21). Destes grupos foram coletadas amostras de sangue total e soro para a determinação de níveis séricos de chumbo, marcadores bioquímicos e parâmetros hematológicos. Resultados: Foi observado um aumento significativo na concentração sérica de chumbo (p=0,002), PCR-us (p=0,01), ureia (p=0,02) e na atividade da GGT (p=0,006), assim como uma redução significativa na contagem de plaquetas (p=0,01) nos voluntários ambientalmente expostos à agrotóxicos quando comparados com o grupo não exposto. Conclusão: Este estudo sugere que a população ambientalmente exposta à agrotóxico, pode apresentar aumento da concentração sérica de chumbo. Em longo prazo o acúmulo deste metal no organismo pode ser altamente tóxico, induzindo alterações bioquímicas e hematológicas e afetando severamente funções orgânicas.

Abstract. Evaporation (ET) is one of the crucial components of the water cycle, which serves as the nexus between global water, energy, and carbon cycles. Accurate quantification of ET is, therefore, pivotal in understanding various earth system processes and subsequent societal applications. The prevailing approaches for ET retrievals are either limited in spatiotemporal coverage or largely influenced by the choice of input data or simplified model physics, or a combination thereof. Here, using an independent mass conservation approach, we develop water-balance-based ET datasets (ET-WB) for the global land and the selected 168 major river basins. We generate 4669 probabilistic unique combinations of the ET-WB leveraging multi-source datasets (23 precipitation, 29 runoff, and 7 storage change datasets) from satellite products, in situ measurements, reanalysis, and hydrological simulations. We compare our results with the four auxiliary global ET datasets and previous regional studies, followed by a rigorous discussion of the uncertainties, their possible sources, and potential ways to constrain them. The seasonal cycle of global ET-WB possesses a unimodal distribution with the highest (median value: 65.61 mm per month) and lowest (median value: 36.11 mm per month) values in July and January, respectively, with the spread range of roughly ±10 mm per month from different subsets of the ensemble. Auxiliary ET products illustrate similar intra-annual characteristics with some over- or underestimation, which are completely within the range of the ET-WB ensemble. We found a gradual increase in global ET-WB from 2003 to 2010 and a subsequent decrease during 2010–2015, followed by a sharper reduction in the remaining years primarily attributed to the varying precipitation. Multiple statistical metrics show reasonably good accuracy of monthly ET-WB (e.g., a relative bias of ±20 %) in most river basins, which ameliorates at annual scales. The long-term mean annual ET-WB varies within 500–600 mm yr−1 and is consistent with the four auxiliary ET products (543–569 mm yr−1). Observed trend estimates, though regionally divergent, are evidence of the increasing ET in a warming climate. The current dataset will likely be useful for several scientific assessments centering around water resources management to benefit society at large. The dataset is publicly available in various formats (NetCDF, Mat, and Shapefile) at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.8339655 (Xiong et al., 2023).

Abstract. In this technical note, we introduce a web-based application, the BonaRes Knowledge Library (KLIB, https://klibrary.bonares.de, last access: 26 July 2023), for the compilation and classification of scientific publications on soil processes according to the specific site conditions and experimental boundary conditions. The tool was developed based on the understanding that experimental findings in soil science are highly dependent on soil type, land use, and climate. The KLIB, therefore, goes beyond other available digital libraries by providing metadata on the site conditions and experimental settings for each publication. A number of visualization tools have been developed in the form of graphical networks to illustrate, for example, publications sharing the same type of scientific questions or soil properties that are affected by different types of drivers. This should help to explore the contents of the literature database more efficiently in order to support and facilitate the literature search efforts of the users. The KLIB is designed as a collaborative effort to encourage soil scientists to participate by entering their own studies and extending the existing database.
Influence of pollution on fish reproduction in the southern waters of Lake Ladoga
Authors: Romanov A. Yu. , Arshanitsa N. M. 
Published: October 2023

The southern waters of Lake Ladoga have important fishery significance - as a place for spawning, feeding and fishing. The hydrological features of this water area, combined with the location of sources of pollution, contributed to the creation of an increased level of anthropogenic load - massive toxicosis of fish and disruption of the process of natural reproduction, which was noted in the eighties of the last century. The period of early ontogenesis of fish is the most sensitive in the life cycle of fish, and this especially affects salmon and whitefish, which are especially sensitive to anthropogenic impacts, including toxicological factors. As studies have shown, the impact of pollutants has also had a negative impact on other fish species whose spawning grounds are located in this water area. Recent ichthyopathological studies of fish in this water area, which includes three bays: Shlisselburgskaya, Volkhovskaya and Svirskaya, showed massive damage to fish by toxicosis, which prompted a study of early juvenile fish in the littoral areas of the bays. It was shown that in the surveyed water areas from 30 to 70% of early juveniles (larvae, fry) are affected by toxicosis with visual manifestations of the pathological process in the bone tissue, visual, circulatory system, etc. Typical anomalies are craniofacial defects, spinal anomalies, eye defects, of cardio-vascular system. It has been shown that the bone, circulatory, and visual systems are very sensitive to the effects of toxicants in the early stages. Population reproduction is an integral expression of the influence of the combined action of environmental factors and the fish organism itself. The results of the studies showed a pronounced disruption of the natural reproduction of fish, which negatively affects the productivity of the reservoir. Preventive measures for fish reproduction are associated with the reclamation of polluted spawning grounds and factory reproduction of valuable fish species. Typical anomalies are craniofacial defects, spinal anomalies, eye defects, and cardiovascular system defects. It has been shown that the bone, circulatory, and visual systems are very sensitive to the effects of toxicants in the early stages. Population reproduction is an integral expression of the influence of the combined action of environmental factors and the fish organism itself.

Authors: Calle Criollo Stefany Salomé , Cárdenas Heredia Freddy Rosendo 
Published: October 2023

Introducción: la preeclampsia (PE) es una condición que ocurre después de la semana 20 de gestación, con hipertensión y proteinuria, con prevalencia global del 4.6%.
Objetivo: describir las estrategias terapéuticas futuras para la preeclampsia basadas en la reducción del estrés oxidativo
Desarrollo: los antioxidantes y compuestos antiinflamatorios ofrecen promesas en la PE, pero necesitan validación en ensayos clínicos. Personalización, riesgos y beneficios, mecanismos, interacciones y efectos secundarios requieren atención. La N-acetilcisteína reduce significativamente los niveles de malondialdehído (MDA), IL-8 y homocisteína en pacientes con preeclampsia. Sin embargo, no tiene un efecto significativo en los niveles de PCR, TNF-α e IL-6. En cuanto a la aspirina, se observa un efecto positivo en la prevención de la preeclampsia, especialmente cuando se administra en dosis bajas. La pravastatina reduce la incidencia de preeclampsia en un 61%. La terapia combinada de Danshen y sulfato de magnesio mejora la tensión arterial, la proteína urinaria, los niveles de TNF-α, el estrés oxidativo y eficacia terapéutica en la preeclampsia grave.
Conclusiones: estos hallazgos sugieren diversas intervenciones prometedoras en la preeclampsia, pero se necesita más investigación.

Niet omdat het moet, maar omdat het kan: Hoe verder met telehoren in het Nederlandse strafproces?
Gedurende de coronapandemie kwam het gebruik van telehoren in strafzaken in een stroomversnelling. Nu deelname op afstand geen moeten meer is, is het tijd voor de fundamentele vraag: willen we het? In deze bijdrage wordt geïnventariseerd in hoeverre communicatie via een scherm daadwerkelijk anders is dan in elkaars fysieke aanwezigheid en hoe belangrijk die eventuele verschillen kunnen zijn in de context van een strafzitting. Aan de hand van een aantal deelaspecten – cognitieve belasting, volledigheid van communicatie, de invloed van beeld en geluid en connectiviteit – wordt geïllustreerd hoe complex het vraagstuk van telehoren is en de noodzaak van interdisciplinair onderzoek bepleit.
