Objective: The present work aimed to use crueira, waste from the processing of cassava flour, to develop an edible coating to be applied to guavas of the Paluma variety, for the purpose of post-harvest conservation.

Theoretical Reference: The agricultural production of the Brazilian economy places the country in a prominent position on the international scene, at the same time as it is also a reference in supplying the domestic market with fresh products and their derivatives. However, given the perishable nature of products, much is lost throughout the entire production chain, and this volume is even increased when considering the generation of waste recommended for food processing. For example, you can mention the generation of waste from the production of cassava flour, which has underutilized areas and is generally disposed of improperly, causing environmental and social impacts.

Method: Different formulations were tested using three variables: cassava raw (6%, 7% and 8%), glycerol (3%, 4% and 5%), immersion time (5 min, 10 min and 15 min) in six storage times (0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 days). Our fruits were analyzed for mass loss, pH, titratable acidity, total soluble solids, reducing sugars and sensory analysis for color, general quality and incidence of rot.

Results and Discussion: Microbiological analyses were performed on the coating that presented the best conditions for preserving the fruits to verify the incidence of Salmonella, Bacillus cereus and Escherichia coli, and the microbiological results were within the requirements of current legislation. Under the conditions of the experiment, the coatings developed presented positive results for the preservation of guavas, delaying signs of ripening and increasing their shelf life, with emphasis on the coating composed of 6% cassava pulp and 3% glycerol, applied for 5 minutes, which presented better preservation characteristics for guavas in general.

Implications of the Research: Contribute to the reduction of post-harvest loss of fruits and, consequently, impact on the supply of quality food for the population.

Originality/Value: Reuse of waste generated in the production of cassava flour, an agro-industry of interest to several regions of the country, in the production of low-cost edible and natural coating, which directly impacts the preservation of fresh food, reducing waste, increasing the food supply, thus contributing to food security.

ПОВТОРНІ ХІРУРГІЧНІ ВТРУЧАННЯ З ПРИВОДУ ТЕРМІНАЛЬНИХ НЕВРОМ АМПУТАЦІЙНИХ КУКС ПІСЛЯ ВИБУХОВИХ ПОРАНЕНЬ
Authors: Netliukh Andrii , Plakhtyr Zakhar 
Published: January 2025

Актуальність. Нейропатичний постампутаційний біль кукси, спричинений термінальними невромами, є великою проблемою для поранених з ампутаціями. Традиційні методи хірургічного лікування болісних невром, ймовірно, не запобігають їхньому повторному формуванню, що зумовлює високий рівень повторних оперативних втручань. Тоді як повторні операції на куксі можуть значно відтерміновувати протезування та реабілітацію таких пацієнтів.
Мета. Дослідити випадки рецидивів симптомних термінальних невром серед військовослужбовців після травматичної ампутації внаслідок вибухових поранень.
Матеріали і методи. Це клінічне проспективне дослідження. Задля оцінки повторних хірургічних втручань з приводу рецидиву симптомних термінальних невром обстежені тридцять чотири військовослужбовці. До остаточного аналізу були залучені вісім пацієнтів із рецидивом нейропатичного постампутаційного болю кукси після резекції невром. Цим пацієнтам проведене повторне оперативне втручання з видалення термінальних невром, формування регенеративного інтерфейсу периферичних нервів (RPNI) у Військово-медичному клінічному центрі Західного регіону (ВМКЦ ЗР) упродовж 2022 – 2024 років.
Результати. Це дослідження показує, що немає різниці в термінах появи первинного постампутаційного болю та рецидиву нейропатичного болю кукси після простих резекцій невром (Pα=0.8) – 5.5 (3.4) і 5.1 (1.7) місяців відповідно. У пацієнтів діагностовано три (2; 3.5) рецидивних симптомних невроми і 0.6 (0; 1.5) болючих невром, які раніше були асимптомними. Середній рівень болю становив 7.6 (1.8) за шкалою DVPRS. У ВМКЦ ЗР усім пацієнтам виконали регенеративний інтерфейс периферичного нерва (RPNI) через рецидивні симптоми невром. На відміну від простих резекцій симптомних термінальних неврином, після застосування методики RPNI середня інтенсивність нейропатичного болю резидуальної кінцівки клінічно значно зменшилася (до 3.3 (0.8), рівень Р<0.001 балів) на шостому місяці спостереження та залишалася на такому рівні протягом 12 місяців.
Висновки. Результати цього дослідження свідчать, що проста резекція невроми, яка широко використовується в Україні, не впливає на профілактику формування болючих невром. При виборі хірургічної методики для лікування симптомних термінальних невром автори рекомендують методику RPNI, оскільки в цьому дослідженні виявлено її позитивні результати зі стійким і тривалим ефектом. При повторних операціях, зумовлених рецидивом симптомних невром, варто знаходити та видаляти всі термінальні невроми, зокрема асимптомні, задля запобігання швидкого відновлення болю.

Published: January 2025

Background and Objective
Obstetric pain is one of the most severe forms of pain a woman may experience during childbirth. Due to the debilitating effects of excruciating labor discomfort, pain management continues to be an important issue that requires attention. This study assessed the knowledge and utilization of obstetric analgesia in labor-management among midwives in public healthcare facilities in the north-central region of Nigeria.

Methods
This study used a descriptive cross-sectional design. One hundred twenty-three respondents who met the inclusion criteria were selected using the purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using a pretested structured questionnaire. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics at a 0.05 level of significance.

Results
The results revealed that the respondents’ overall knowledge of obstetric analgesia was adequate. The findings also revealed that more than half of the midwives have previously utilized obstetric analgesia to manage labor pain. However, the frequency of utilization of obstetric analgesia was low. A significant association was found between utilization of obstetric analgesia in labor and knowledge (χ2 = 16.582, p < 0.001) as well as years of experience (χ2 = 17.280, p < 0.015) and nursing rank (χ2 = 36.579, p < 0.000); since the p-value < 0.05 significance.

Conclusion and Global Health Implications
Therefore, it was recommended that midwives should be encouraged to frequently utilize obstetric analgesia to manage labor pain in order to improve the birth experience and outcome and to prevent the adverse effects that come with severe labor pain. Furthermore, the government should create policies that favor the utilization of obstetric analgesia in parturition, and midwives should incorporate the benefits of obstetric analgesia into the health education of pregnant women during antenatal counseling to promote its usage.

Published: January 2025

Background:
Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is an effective technique in managing subaxial cervical spine injury (SCSI). The study highlights the experience and challenges of ACDF for SCSI in a subSaharan neurosurgical center.

Methods:
The medical records of the patients who had ACDF for SCSI over 6 years in Memfys Hospital, Southeast Nigeria were reviewed. Relevant data collated include patient demographics, clinical presentation, radiologic images, operative management, and complications. All patients had right-sided ACDF after resuscitation. The follow-up period was at least 3 months.

Results:
Eighty-one patients had ACDF, with male preponderance (8:1) and a mean age of 38.9 ± 12.4 years. Motor vehicular accident was the most common injury mechanism (71.6%), and the majority (59.5%) were ASIA A. C5/6 was the most common level of injury (40.7%), and the mean subaxial cervical spine injury classification system (SLIC) score was 7.8 ± 1.40. Fifty-eight (71.6%) patients presented late (>48 h after injury). ASIA A injuries, high SLIC score, and late presentation were associated with higher complication rates (P = 0.02, 0.000, and 0.0001). Dysphagia was the most common complication and was self-limiting. Improvement in neurological status was 84.75% and 10.4% for incomplete and complete injuries, respectively. Only 5% had access to onsite emergency medical services, three patients had comprehensive insurance, and rehabilitation services were available to 35.8% on discharge. The 30-day mortality was 8.6%.

Conclusion:
ACDF for SCSI is associated with good outcomes in patients with incomplete spinal cord injury. Challenges in management in our setting were related to poor emergency medical services, late presentation, low insurance coverage, and limited rehabilitation services.

Authors: Adityawarma Anak Agung Ngurah Agung Harawikrama , Lauren Christopher , Saputra Angky , Sutikno Joshua , Maliawan Made Gemma Daniswara , Mahadewa Tjokorda Gde Bagus 
Published: January 2025

Background:
Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt placement, a common treatment for hydrocephalus, can lead to various complications, including the formation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pseudocysts within the peritoneal cavity. Although rare, occurring in 1–4.5% of cases, these pseudocysts pose significant clinical challenges due to their potential recurrence and the complexity of their management. The optimal management strategy depends on individual patient factors and the presence of infection.

Case Description:
A 24-year-old woman presented with decreased consciousness, worsening headaches, and progressive abdominal enlargement. Imaging revealed a giant intraperitoneal cystic lesion, initially suspected to be a malignant ovarian cyst, but later identified as a CSF pseudocyst associated with the distal tip of a VP shunt placed 9 years earlier. The patient underwent urgent shunt revision, converting to a ventriculoatrial shunt. Postoperatively, her neurological status improved, and the abdominal mass resolved completely within 3 weeks. Follow-up over 1 year confirmed the absence of recurrence or neurological deficits.

Conclusion:
VP shunt-associated intraperitoneal CSF pseudocysts, while rare, can develop long after shunt placement and present significant diagnostic and management challenges. Early recognition and appropriate surgical intervention are crucial to prevent complications. This case underscores the importance of individualized treatment approaches and diligent follow-up to ensure favorable outcomes, even in complex cases.

Published: January 2025

Many students in the non-English Department feel anxious while speaking in front of the classroom and it has become a never-ending issue up to now. Therefore, this research focuses on investigating how anxiety factors affect students' behavior during EFL instruction and how non-English-speaking students' beliefs contribute to the development of anxiety. Descriptive qualitative case study method was employed with the subject of the research were 32 students from the 4th semester of Arabic Language Education and Islamic Education study program at the non-English Department of Walisongo Islamic State University of Semarang. The instruments were field observation, interview, questionnaire, and Focus Group Discussion. The research revealed that non-English students learning ESP English commonly experience two primary types of anxiety: confusion and sweating. These feelings often arise due to a lack of preparation before attending English classes. Anxiety is heightened when students feel unprepared in three key areas: grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary mastery. In conclusion, students tend to feel anxious when they overthink the instructions or have to speak English in front of many peers. However, they feel more comfortable and engaged when lecturers create a joyful and positive classroom atmosphere. It is recommended that ESP students adopt strategies to manage their anxiety, including thorough preparation, relaxation techniques, positive thinking, seeking support from peers, and developing acceptance. Additionally, teachers should play an active role in reducing students' anxiety by fostering a supportive and encouraging learning environment.
