Published: June 2023

<p>The Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement between Canada and the United States has identified the Buffalo River as an Area of Concern. The watershed has a long history of heavy industrial activity that contributed to its overall pollution. Sediment core data collected by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation in 2005 were used to determine lead sediment conta- mination in a section of the Buffalo River. The ordinary kriging spatial interpolation technique was used to generate surface and sub- surface sediment contamination estimates. Due to the meandering nature of the river, two kriging models were used to analyze surface contamination: a global kriging model and a regional kriging model, consisting of three separate sections. The results show that both the global and regional kriging models display similar interpolated surfaces and do not vary significantly. Within the sediment, lead contamination in the surface layer is lower than at the various subsurface depths. In 2011, habitat restoration efforts commenced to re- mediate environmental damage due to years of pollution inputs from various sources. Sediment dredging operations were initiated that are expected to be completed in 2015. The goal of these operations is to remove heavily contaminated sediments and rehabilitate the Buffalo River. The kriging results provide area-wide estimates of contamination. When compared to the dredging plan, the results indicate that additional removal of contaminated sediments may need to be considered where no dredging has occurred or is not cu- rrently planned. </p>
An Enquiry into how Political Sufi-Regimes Evolve in Contemporary Bangladesh
Authors: Mostofa Mamun Al 
Published: June 2023

Contrary to the commonly held notion that Sufis are generally apolitical, contemporary scholars on Sufism, in general, have reached a consensus that Sufism has always been tinged with political colour. However, this perspective, though dominant, seems to under-appreciate the nuances of Sufism and at the same time denies Sufis' capacity to remain non-partisan whenever they choose to be. Against this backdrop, this article attempts to investigate four Sufi-regimes that have been politically active in contemporary Bangladesh. Analysing their evolution, it explains the stage in their growth when such regimes are likely to remain non-partisan and when they are likely to shed their visibly apolitical stance, take noticeably more political positions and/or form political party. It argues that before taking on an explicitly political character, a typical Sufi-regime usually undergoes at least three identifiable phases – namely, recognition, expansion and stabilisation, and lastly discipline through organisation. According to the analytical model presented here, Sufis in the recognition and expansion phase are unlikely to join politics, while those with a disciplined group of followers and murids can participate in the political process with a minimum level of encouragement from their respective surroundings.

Socio-Legal Aspects of Old Homes in Bangladesh: An Analysis
Authors: Ferdousi Nahid 
Published: June 2023

The older people need inclusive attention and care equally like any other segment of the population. Like different regions of the world, many Asian countries have already started to pay attention in developing elderly support programs and legal framework. Bangladesh is far behind from many Asian countries in ensuring proper protection and minimum social security services for the senior citizens. At present, the traditional joint family structures have broken down and familial support to the older people have been reduced drastically. Due to absence of proper protective mechanism, millions of older people is living a miserable life within and outside the family. Moreover, community home-based care and residential care facilities has not developed yet in the country. Rather, the concept of old homes, caregivers and rehabilitation centers are getting popular as well. Accordingly, there is no regulatory framework or monitoring authority specifically for old homes and centers. Traditionally it is not much appreciated by the society because of the prevailing social, cultural, and religious norms of the country. Hence, it is the need of time to address the issue of the elderly shelter homes and provide them care in a better way. This study focuses on socio-legal aspects of old homes in Bangladesh and possible recommendations for the betterments of the elderly care delivery.

Published: June 2023

The objective of the discussion is clinical and instrumental speciﬁcs of the atlantoaxial region in rheumatic diseases. Pathological changes of the cervical spice are not uncommon in rheumatic diseases. Area of atlantoaxial articulation attracts particular attention, which is discussed rarely by rheumatologists. This review discusses the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) speciﬁc pattern of the atlantoaxial region pathology in rheumatic diseases. The pathogenesis, clinical picture and the craniometric criteria pathology are the areas of concern.Conclusions. The atlantoaxial region is a complicated anatomical structure. Pathological processes that occur in this area due to rheumatic diseases can manifest severe neurological symptoms. MRI makes it possible to recognize many structural disorders at an early stage. As a result, images of craniometric measurements on MRI allow to timely detect deviations that subsequently lead to serious complications, which could be corrected and prevented.

IntroductionThe bacterial endosymbiont, Wolbachia spp. induce thelytokous parthenogenesis in certain parasitoid wasps, such as the egg parasitoid wasps Trichogramma spp. To complete the cycle of vertical transmission, Wolbachia displays efficient transovarial transmission by targeting the reproductive tissues and often exhibits strong tissue-specific tropism in their host.MethodThe present study aimed to describe the basic Wolbachia distribution patterns that occur during the development of Wolbachia-infected, thelytokous Trichogramma dendrolimi, and T. pretiosum. We used fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) to investigate Wolbachia signal dynamics during early embryogenesis (from 30 to 120 min). Wolbachia titers and distributions from the embryo to adult stages of Trichogramma after early embryogenesis were detected by absolute quantitative polymerase chain reaction (AQ-PCR) and FISH. The symmetry ratios (SR) of the Wolbachia signals were calculated using the SR odds ratios in the anterior and posterior parts of the host. The SR was determined to describe Wolbachia tropism during early embryogenesis and various developmental stages of Trichogramma.ResultsWolbachia was concentrated in the posterior part of the embryo during early embryogenesis and the various developmental stages of both T. dendrolimi and T. pretiosum. Wolbachia density increased with the number of nuclei and the initial mitotic division frequency during early embryogenesis. The total Wolbachia titer increased with postembryogenesis development in both T. dendrolimi and T. pretiosum. However, the Wolbachia densities relative to body size were significantly lower at the adult and pupal stages than they were at the embryonic stage.DiscussionThe present work revealed that posterior Wolbachia concentration during early host embryogenesis determined Wolbachia localization in adult wasps. By this mechanism, Wolbachia exhibits efficient vertical transmission across generations by depositing only female Wolbachia-infected offspring. The results of this study describe the dynamics of Wolbachia during the development of their Trichogramma host. The findings of this investigation helped clarify Wolbachia tropism in Trichogramma wasps.
Successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation of cardiac arrest induced by massive pulmonary embolism under general anesthesia: a case report
Authors: Li Zhen , Cai Ning 
Published: June 2023

BackgroundWhile pulmonary embolism (PE) is a common occurrence, a large life-threatening PE is not. Herein, we discuss the case of a patient with a life-threatening PE that occurred under general anesthesia.Case presentationWe present the case of a 59-year-old male patient who was at bed rest for several days due to trauma, which resulted in femoral and rib fractures and a lung contusion. The patient was scheduled for femoral fracture reduction and internal fixation under general anesthesia. After disinfection and surgical towel laying, there was a sudden occurrence of severe PE and cardiac arrest; the patient was successfully resuscitated. Computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) was performed to confirm the diagnosis, and the patient’s condition improved after thrombolytic therapy. Unfortunately, the patient’s family eventually discontinued treatment.DiscussionMassive PE frequently occurs suddenly, may endanger a patient’s life at any point in time, and cannot be diagnosed quickly on the basis of clinical manifestations. Although the vital signs fluctuate greatly and there is insufficient time to conduct more tests, some factors such as special disease history, electrocardiography, end-tidal carbon dioxide, and blood gas analysis may help us determine the preliminary diagnosis; however, the final diagnosis is made using CTPA. Current treatment options include thrombectomy, thrombolysis, and early anticoagulation, of which thrombolysis and early anticoagulation are the most feasible.ConclusionMassive PE is a life-threatening disease that requires early diagnosis and timely treatment to save patients’ lives.

BackgroundTo quantify cardiovascular health (CVH), the American Heart Association (AHA) recently launched an updated construct of the “Life's Simple 7” (LS7) score, the “Life's Essential 8” (LE8) score. This study aims to analyse the association between both CVH scores and carotid artery plaques and to compare the predictive capacity of such scores for carotid plaques.MethodsRandomly recruited participants aged 50–64 years from the Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study (SCAPIS) were analysed. According to the AHA definitions, two CVH scores were calculated: i) the LE8 score (0, worst CVH; 100, best CVH) and two different versions of the LS7 score [(0–7) and (0–14), 0 indicating the worst CVH]. Ultrasound-diagnosed carotid plaques were classified as no plaque, unilateral, and bilateral plaques. Associations were studied by adjusted multinomial logistic regression models and adjusted (marginal) prevalences, while comparison between LE8 and LS7 scores was performed through receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves.ResultsAfter exclusions, 28,870 participants remained for analysis (50.3% women). The odds for bilateral carotid plaques were almost five times higher in the lowest LE8 (&lt;50 points) group [OR: 4.93, (95% CI: 4.19–5.79); adjusted prevalence 40.5%, (95% CI: 37.9–43.2)] compared to the highest LE8 (≥80 points) group [adjusted prevalence 17.2%, (95% CI: 16.2–18.1)]. Also, the odds for unilateral carotid plaques were more than two times higher in the lowest LE8 group [OR: 2.14, (95% CI: 1.82–2.51); adjusted prevalence 31.5%, (95% CI: 28.9–34.2)] compared to the highest LE8 group [adjusted prevalence 29.4%, (95% CI: 28.3–30.5)]. The areas under ROC curves were similar between LE8 and LS7 (0–14) scores: for bilateral carotid plaques, 0.622 (95% CI: 0.614–0.630) vs. 0.621 (95% CI: 0.613–0.628), P = 0.578, respectively; and for any carotid plaque, 0.602 (95% CI: 0.596–0.609) vs. 0.600 (95% CI: 0.593–0.607), P = 0.194, respectively.ConclusionThe new LE8 score showed inverse and dose-response associations with carotid plaques, particularly bilateral plaques. The LE8 did not outperform the conventional LS7 score, which showed similar ability to predict carotid plaques, especially when scored as 0–14 points. We conclude that both the LE8 and LS7 may be useful in clinical practice for monitoring CVH status in the adult population.

AimsTo test the feasibility of postprocedural photoplethysmography (PPG) rhythm telemonitoring during the first week after atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation and its predictive value for later AF recurrence.MethodsPPG rhythm telemonitoring during the first week after the ablation procedure was offered to a total of 382 consecutive patients undergoing AF ablation. Patients were instructed to perform 1 min PPG recordings by a mobile health application 3 times per day and in case of symptoms. Clinicians assessed the PPG tracings via a secured cloud and the information was remotely integrated into the therapeutic pathway via teleconsultation (TeleCheck-AF approach).Results119 patients (31%) agreed to perform PPG rhythm telemonitoring after ablation. Patients included in the TeleCheck-AF approach were younger compared to those who declined participation (58 ± 10 vs. 62 ± 10 years, p &lt; 0.001). Median follow up duration was 544 (53–883) days. 27% of patients had PPG tracings suggestive of AF in the week following the ablation. In 24% of patients, the integration of PPG rhythm telemonitoring resulted in a remote clinical intervention during teleconsultation. During follow-up of one year, 33% of patients had ECG-documented AF recurrences. PPG recordings suggestive of AF in the week after ablation were predictive of late recurrences (p &lt; 0.001).ConclusionPPG rhythm telemonitoring during the first week after AF ablation often triggered clinical interventions. Due to its high availability, PPG-based follow-up actively involving patients after AF ablation may close a diagnostic and prognostic gap in the blanking period and increase active patient-involvement.

Published: June 2023

To solve the construction ventilation problem of super long (length greater than 10000 m) tunnel passing through discrete lenticular gas bag tunnel under complex working conditions in carbonaceous shale stratum, relying on the construction of Banzhulin tunnel of the new Xuyong-Bijie Railway (Sichuan-Yunnan). Using the finite element analysis software, the flow field distribution of the tunnel return air flow in the case of simultaneous excavation of multiple working faces is simulated, and the formation position and influence range of the vortex area which is easy to form gas accumulation are analyzed. On this basis, the technical team developed the PLC uninterruptible self starting ventilation power supply control program. By comparing the changes in the time required for ventilation power supply failure before and after the adoption of this technology, and the comparison of the gas concentration in the return air flow within a relatively short time of the failure, it is proved that this technology reduces the fault response time to 15.74% of the original time, and can well avoid gas accumulation within the failure time, It provides some reference for similar engineering construction.
