Objetivo: descrever a interface entre o conteúdo de instrumentos para avaliação do autocuidado de pessoas com estomias intestinais. Métodos: trata-se de estudo descrito, qualitativo e de caráter documental. Seguiu-se as etapas de pré-análise, organização do material e análise dos dados. A coleta de dados ocorreu em repositórios de três universidades internacionais. Na análise, os dados foram confrontados, identificando-se os pontos de convergência entre o conteúdo dos instrumentos. Resultados: foram incluídos três instrumentos que avaliam o autocuidado de pessoas com estomias intestinais. Os formulários possuem conteúdo específicos e compartilham temas, sendo eles: aconselhamento profissional, tipos de equipamentos coletores, higiene do estoma e pele periestomia e troca do equipamento coletor. Considerações finais: os formulários possuem conteúdos comuns e específicos. Entretanto, apresentam concepções teóricas diferentes sobre o autocuidado, o que confere um conteúdo diversificado, que deve ser avaliado antes do uso do instrumento, com vistas a atender os objetivos dos profissionais de saúde e pessoas com estomias. Ratifica-se que na ausência de instrumentos nacionais, a busca por instrumentos internacionais torna-se alternativa, como já vem acontecendo com outras temáticas e ao conhecer as interfaces entre os instrumentos, a escolha torna-se mais assertiva para implementação de uma tecnologia para uso efetivo no Brasil.

The article analyzes the domestic experience of creating a criterion base related to the formation of social competence of various subjects of the educational process. Taking into account the specifics of social competence as a complex personal formation, domestic researchers mostly single out value-motivational, cognitive, activity, and personal criteria. Complex hierarchical criteria systems contain criteria and their substructures. The article notes the expediency of highlighting such indicators as adjusting one's own actions in accordance with the set goal and interests of interaction participants, the ability to enrich internalized social experience based on self-improvement; the ability to establish feedback in communication by means of linguistic and non-verbal interaction; take responsibility for making certain decisions; the ability to avoid conflict situations and, if necessary, resolve them.
Attention is focused on the fact that social competence determines a high level of readiness and the ability of high school students to solve the problems of self-development and dialogical interaction with society, an active and responsible position regarding socially significant activities, and the ability to analyze and solve problematic social situations, taking into account personal and social consequences. The article proposes to determine the formation of social competence of high school students according to the following criteria: value-orientational, intellectual-searching, communicative-active, personal-reflective.

The study was conducted at Institute for Agricultural Research (IAR) horticultural garden Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria under irrigation in two dry seasons (2019 and 2020). The region is located at Latitude11º11'1N and Longitude7º38'E. The research was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of two microbial pesticides: Emamectin benzoate and Beauveria bassiana, two botanical extracts: Karanjin from Pongamia glabra and Azadirachtin (Azadirachta indica), one synthetic insecticide: Lion Guard EC (with Cypermethrin 3% and dimethoate 25%) which served as Standard check. S. calamistis larvae were mass produced in the Insect Rearing Laboratory of the Department of Crop Protection using artificial diet to carry out field infestation. On the field, the treatments involved three maize varieties; Sweet Corn Yellow, Sugar King F2 and SAMMAZ 52 and also the five (5) pesticides with untreated control laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) in split plot with three replications on a plots size of 9m2 (3 m x 3 m). Leaf damage, dead hearts, cob damage, exit holes, lodging, stem tunneling and yield ha-1 were measured. The data was subjected to ANOVA using SAS 9.0 and the means were separated using Student Newman Keul’s (SNK). Azadirachtin with 1.53, Karanjin with 2.22, Emamectin 1.48 and B. bassiana 1.42 larval mortality on the field after treatment application. Azadirachtin, Karanjin, Emamectin and B. bassiana reduced dead heart incidence by 46%, 20%, 51% and 52% respectively when compared with control in which 60% dead hearts incidence was recorded. Azadirachtin, Emamectin and B. bassiana were very effective in suppressing S. calamistis population, mitigated its ability to cause serious damage to the leaves, hearts, stem and cob of the maize and produced higher when compared with control. Even though Karanjin was less effective than the other three, it was better than control treatment. Azadirachtin can be applied at the rate of 0.44 Lha-1 and Karanjin at the rate of 0.5 Lha-1 to control of S. calamistis on sweet corn. B. bassiana and Emamectin benzoate can be applied at the rate of 0.25 Kgha-1 and 3 Kgha-1 to manage of S. calamistis.

Published: December 2023

The paper presents the fabrication and characterization of [CuI(L)]n thin films, where L represents various alkylpyridine ligands including 4-methylpyridine, 3-methylpyridine, 2-methylpyridine, 4-tbutylpyridine, 3,4-dimethylpyridine, and 3,5-dimethylpyridine. The thin films were synthesized by exposing the corresponding ligands to CuI thin films through vapor deposition. The coordination reactions occurring on the films were investigated using PXRD and time-dependent photoluminescence spectroscopy, and a comparison was made between the structures of the thin films and the corresponding powder phases. The films showed primarly blue emission (λem = 457–515 nm) and polymeric structures with excited state lifetimes ranging from 0.6 to 5.5 μs. Significantly, the studied compounds exhibited fast reversible luminescence quenching when exposed to vapors of dichloromethane and dibromomethane (15 and 30 min respectively), and the luminescence was restored upon re-exposure to the alkylpyridine ligand (after 20 min). These findings indicate that these thin films hold promise for applications as sensors (with sensitive and reversible detection capability) for volatile halogen-based compounds (VHC).

IntroductionThe number of primordial follicles (PFs) in mammals determines the ovarian reserve, and impairment of primordial follicle formation (PFF) will cause premature ovarian insufficiency (POI).MethodsBy analyzing public single-cell RNA sequencing performed during PFF on mice and human ovaries, we identified novel functional genes and novel ligand-receptor interaction during PFF. Based on immunofluorescence and in vitro ovarian culture, we confirmed mechanisms of genes and ligand-receptor interaction in PFF. We also applied whole exome sequencing (WES) in 93 cases with POI and whole genome sequencing (WGS) in 465 controls. Variants in POI patients were further investigated by in silico analysis and functional verification.ResultsWe revealed ANXA7 (annexin A7) and GTF2F1 (general transcription factor IIF subunit 1) in germ cells to be novel potentially genes in promoting PFF. Ligand Mdk (midkine) in germ cells and its receptor Sdc1 (syndecan 1) in granulosa cells are novel interaction crucial for PFF. Based on immunofluorescence, we confirmed significant up-regulation of ANXA7 in PFs compared with germline cysts, and uniform expression of GTF2F1, MDK and SDC1 during PFF, in 25 weeks human fetal ovary. In vitro investigation indicated that Anxa7 and Gtf2f1 are vital for mice PFF by regulating Jak/Stat3 and Jnk signaling pathways, respectively. Ligand-receptor (Mdk-Sdc1) are crucial for PFF by regulating Pi3k-akt signaling pathway. Two heterozygous variants in GTF2F1, and one heterozygous variants in SDC1 were identified in cases, but no variant were identified in controls. The protein level of GTF2F1 or SDC1 in POI cases are significantly lower than that of controls, indicating the pathogenic effects of the two genes on ovarian function were dosage dependent.DiscussionOur study identified novel genes and novel ligand-receptor interaction during PFF, and further expanding the genetic architecture of POI.

BackgroundThyroid hormones play an important role in energy metabolism and weight control, explained mostly by inducing thermogenesis and increasing basal metabolic rate. It has recently been shown that FT4 levels are associated with food preferences, which might also play a role in modulating body weight. The aim of this longitudinal follow-up study was to analyze the relationship of thyroid hormones levels (FT4, TSH) at baseline with weight/BMI-SDS changes in children and adolescents with obesity.MethodsThree hundred seventy-seven children and adolescents have been enrolled to this study and followed up without a systematic intervention program for 5.59 ± 1.85months. Children and adolescents were divided into three subgroups: 1) 144 adolescents with obesity (15-19 years), 2) 213 children with obesity (10-14.9 years), and 3) 20 lean adolescents (15-19 years). Thyroid hormones were measured at the baseline, and anthropometry was performed at the baseline and during the follow-up. For further analyses, participants were divided according to the BMI-SDS change into two groups: 1. with BMI-SDS decrease, and 2. with BMI-SDS increase.ResultsAdolescents with obesity from the BMI-SDS decrease group had significantly lower baseline serum levels of TSH compared to the BMI-SDS increase group (2.4 ± 1.0 vs. 3.2 ± 2.0mIU/l; p=0.005). Similar difference was found for FT4 levels (14.7 ± 2.2 in the BMI-SDS decrease group vs. 15.5 ± 2.7pmol/l in the BMI-SDS increase group, p=0.048). Moreover, the BMI-SDS decrease was present in significantly higher percentage of adolescents with obesity with lower than median TSH level compared to those with higher than median TSH level at baseline (61.1% vs 38.6%, p=0.011). Likewise, the BMI-SDS decrease was present in significantly higher percentage of adolescent females with obesity and lower than median FT4 compared to those with higher than median FT4 level at baseline (70.6% vs. 23.5%, p&lt;0.001). No associations of baseline thyroid hormones with the BMI-SDS change were observed in children with obesity or lean adolescents.ConclusionAdolescents with obesity and increased BMI-SDS during the follow-up had significantly higher baseline levels of both TSH and FT4 compared to BMI-SDS decrease group. These results support the previous findings that higher FT4 in individuals with obesity may influence weight gain.

IntroductionAlloimmune responses against platelet antigens, which dominantly target the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), can cause adverse reactions to subsequent platelet transfusions, platelet refractoriness, or rejection of future transplants. Platelet transfusion recipients include individuals experiencing severe bacterial or viral infections, and how their underlying health modulates platelet alloimmunity is not well understood.MethodsThis study investigated the effect of underlying inflammation on platelet alloimmunization by modelling viral-like inflammation with polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (poly(I:C)) or gram-negative bacterial infection with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), hypothesizing that underlying inflammation enhances alloimmunization. Mice were pretreated with poly(I:C), LPS, or nothing, then transfused with non-leukoreduced or leukoreduced platelets. Alloantibodies and allogeneic MHC-specific B cell (allo-B cell) responses were evaluated two weeks later. Rare populations of allo-B cells were identified using MHC tetramers.ResultsRelative to platelet transfusion alone, prior exposure to poly(I:C) increased the alloantibody response to allogeneic platelet transfusion whereas prior exposure to LPS diminished responses. Prior exposure to poly(I:C) had equivalent, if not moderately diminished, allo-B cell responses relative to platelet transfusion alone and exhibited more robust allo-B cell memory development. Conversely, prior exposure to LPS resulted in diminished allo-B cell frequency, activation, antigen experience, and germinal center formation and altered memory B cell responses. DiscussionIn conclusion, not all inflammatory environments enhance bystander responses and prior inflammation mediated by LPS on gram-negative bacteria may in fact curtail platelet alloimmunization.

BackgroundAlthough the past decade has witnessed unprecedented medical progress, no consensus has been reached on the optimal approach for patients with acute cholecystitis. Herein, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the differences in patient outcomes between Early Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (ELC) and Delayed Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (DLC) in the treatment of acute cholecystitis. Our protocol was registered in the PROSPERO database (registration number: CRD42023389238).ObjectivesWe sought to investigate the differences in efficacy, safety, and potential benefits between ELC and DLC in acute cholecystitis patients by conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis.MethodsThe online databases PubMed, Springer, and the Cochrane Library were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and retrospective studies published between Jan 1, 1999 and Jan 1, 2022.Results21 RCTs and 13 retrospective studies with a total of 7,601 cases were included in this research. After a fixed-effects model was applied, the pooled analysis showed that DLC was associated with a significantly high conversion rate (OR: 0.6247; 95%CI: 0.5115–0.7630; z = −4.61, p &lt; 0.0001) and incidence of postoperative complications (OR: 0.7548; 95%CI: 0.6197–0.9192; z = −2.80, p = 0.0051). However, after applying a random-effects model, ELC was associated with significantly shorter total hospitalization duration than DLC (MD: −4.0657; 95%CI: −5.0747 to −3.0566; z = −7.90, p &lt; 0.0001).ConclusionELC represents a safe and feasible approach for acute cholecystitis patients since it shortens hospitalization duration and decreases the incidence of postoperative complications of laparoscopic cholecystectomy.Systematic review registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/display_record.php?RecordID=389238, identifier (CRD42023389238).

BackgroundSARS-CoV-2 infection can lead to a variety of persistent sequelae, collectively known as long COVID-19. Deficits in postural balance have been reported in patients several months after COVID-19 infection. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the static balance and balance of individuals with long COVID-19 using inertial sensors in smartphones.MethodsA total of 73 participants were included in this study, of which 41 had long COVID-19 and 32 served as controls. All participants in the long COVID-19 group reported physical complaints for at least 7 months after SARS-CoV-2 infection. Participants were evaluated using a built-in inertial sensor of a smartphone attached to the low back, which recorded inertial signals during a static balance and mobility task (timed up and go test). The parameters of static balance and mobility obtained from both groups were compared.ResultsThe groups were matched for age and BMI. Of the 41 participants in the long COVID-19 group, 22 reported balance impairment and 33 had impaired balance in the Sharpened Romberg test. Static balance assessment revealed that the long COVID-19 group had greater postural instability with both eyes open and closed than the control group. In the TUG test, the long COVID-19 group showed greater acceleration during the sit-to-stand transition compared to the control group.ConclusionThe smartphone was feasible to identify losses in the balance motor control and mobility of patients with long-lasting symptomatic COVID-19 even after several months or years. Attention to the balance impairment experienced by these patients could help prevent falls and improve their quality of life, and the use of the smartphone can expand this monitoring for a broader population.
Reduced interocular suppression after inverse patching in anisometropic amblyopia

Published: December 2023

PurposeRecent investigations observed substantial enhancements in binocular balance, visual acuity, and stereovision among older children and adults with amblyopia by patching the amblyopic eye (i.e., inverse patching) for 2 h daily over 2 months. Despite these promising findings, the precise neural mechanisms underlying inverse patching remain elusive. This study endeavors to delve deeper into the neural alterations induced by inverse patching, focusing on steady-state visual evoked potentials (SSVEPs). We specifically investigate the changes in SSVEPs following monocular deprivation of either the fellow eye or the amblyopic eye in older amblyopic children and adults.MethodTen participants (17.60 ± 2.03 years old; mean ± SEM), clinically diagnosed with anisometropic amblyopia, were recruited for this study. Each participant underwent a 120 min patching session on their fellow eye on the first day, followed by a similar session on their amblyopic eye on the second day. Baseline steady-state visual evoked potentials (SSVEPs) measurements were collected each day prior to patching, with post-patching SSVEPs measurements obtained immediately after the patching session. The experimental design incorporated a binocular rivalry paradigm, utilizing SSVEPs measurements.ResultsThe results revealed that inverse patching induced a heightened influence on neural plasticity, manifesting in a reduction of interocular suppression from the fellow eye to the amblyopic eye. In contrast, patching the fellow eye demonstrated negligible effects on the visual cortex. Furthermore, alterations in interocular suppression subsequent to inverse patching exhibited a correlation with the visual acuity of the amblyopic eye.ConclusionInverse patching emerges as a promising therapeutic avenue for adolescents and adults grappling with severe anisometropic amblyopia that proves refractory to conventional interventions. This innovative approach exhibits the potential to induce more robust neural plasticity within the visual cortex, thereby modulating neural interactions more effectively than traditional amblyopia treatments.
