Abstract
The Galaxidi earthquake that occurred in the Gulf of Corinth on 18 November 1992 was not followed by a noticeable aftershock sequence, a fact that was also observed for the 1965 Eratini event in the same area. The temporary network of 35 stations that we installed 5 days after the mainshock did not help to identify a cluster of activity related to the mainshock. In a section across the epicentral zone, the focal mechanism of the mainshock and the distribution of a few aftershocks define a plane dipping north, consistent with the nearby Helike fault. We propose that the Galaxidi earthquake was related to an asperity located between the Helike and Xilokastro faults.

Government organizations today face unprecedented challenges in carrying out their vital mission and in an environment marked by shrinking budgets, strict regulations, and changing workforce status. The business process map is a diagram that shows the working relationship between organizational units that generate added value to all respective stakeholders. While there is some independent guidance available on how various tools support different aspects of business process mapping initiatives, organizations still need to determine what their speciﬁc needs are and be able to establish how information gathered on tool functionality can be evaluated against these needs. This study will explore the practices of implementation business process mapping in 10 government institutions in Indonesia using 3-dimentional framework approach. The research employed a qualitative approach with in-depth interviews, observation, and study documents were performed for collecting and analysis data. The framework was succeeding to describe a paradigm shifting to encourage people move from a silo thinking to cross function team. Finally, business process map as a foundation of organizational bureaucracy movement shows an improvement in institutional capacity to encourage administrator in operational consistency.

Published: July 2023

Background: Full-term neonates born between 37- and 41-weeks’ gestational age have been considered a homogeneous, low-risk group. However, recent evidence from studies has pointed toward increased NICU admissions and morbidity associated with births (37-38 weeks) compared with term neonates (39-41 weeks). The objective of this study was to compare the short-term morbidity of early-term vs term neonates in a county-based birth cohort using the primary objective of admission to a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) or neonatology service.
Methods: Retrospective observational population-based 2 year birth cohort study at Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology GSVM Medical College, Kanpur. All full-term live births comprised the birth cohort; this information was obtained from the hospitals’ perinatal databases, and data pertaining to NICU, or neonatology service admissions were extracted from individual medical records. Gestational age of early term (37 0/7-38 6/7 weeks) verses term (39 0/7-4 10/7 weeks). Admission to the NICU or neonatology service.
Results: There were 17,132 live births during the 2 year period, of which 13679 had a gestational age between 37 and 41 weeks. Of all live births, 6204 (45.3%) were early term. Compared with term infants, early-term neonates had significantly higher risks for the following: hypoglycaemia (29.9% verses 14.7%), NICU or neonatology service admission (20.9% vs12.05 %), need for respiratory support (36.8% verses 29.9%), treatment with intravenous antibiotics [39.4% verses 25. Delivery by caesarean section was common among early-term births (45.9%)].
Conclusions: Early-term births are associated with high neonatal morbidity and with NICU or neonatology service admission. Evaluation of local prevalence data will assist in implementation of specific preventive measures and plans, as well as prioritize limited health care resources.

Authors: Aigbonoga Oshiozimede Quincy , Awe Oluwafemi Olasupo , Okomayin Andrew Akarutu 
Published: July 2023

Background: Earlobe keloids cause facial disfigurement, physical, emotional and psychological burden to patients, while posing an intriguing treatment challenge to the plastic surgeon. Different options of combination therapy have been used in the treatment of earlobe keloids with varied success rates.
Methods: This interventional prospective hospital-based study was carried out in Irrua Specialist Teaching Hospital, Irrua, Edo State, over a 15-month period (October 2017 to December 2018). Forty-two patients with earlobe keloids who met the inclusion criteria were serially recruited into the study. Forty-eight earlobe keloids in 41 patients had the intralesional excision biopsy, intralesional triamcinolone injection and silicone gel combination therapy. A modified Sharquie et al’s scar grading system was applied pre-intervention to record the baseline scores and post-intervention to evaluate the patients’ rate of response. Post treatment complications were identified, and the patients were followed up for six months.
Results: Most of the patients with earlobe keloids fell in the age group 21-30 years and the male-female ratio was 1:19.5. Multiple earlobe piercing had significant association with the development of earlobe keloids. 95.8% of treated lesions had complete response to therapy. Two (4.2%) patients had dyschromia following treatment.
Conclusions: The triple therapy combination of intralesional excision biopsy, postoperative intralesional triamcinolone injection and topical silicone gel application is a readily available, safe and efficacious treatment modality for earlobe keloids. Thus, it can be used as a first-line treatment modality.

Published: July 2023

Knowledge and attitude are essential for the proper handling of medico-legal records. A healthcare professional with a good understanding of the law and the proper procedures for documenting and preserving records will be better equipped to protect themselves and their patients in the event of a legal dispute. A positive attitude towards medico-legal records will also help to ensure that they are handled in a timely and accurate manner. The study aims to assess the knowledge and attitude towards handling medical-legal records among nurses. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 150 nurses from various government hospitals in South India. Convenient sampling was used to select the participants. A sociodemographic scale, knowledge questionnaires, and a Likert scale were used to collect data. Data was coded in Excel and analyzed using IBM SPSS version 26. The results of the study indicate that a significant portion of the nurses had average knowledge (64%) and a considerable number had poor knowledge (36%) regarding the handling of medical-legal records. None of the participants showed a good level of knowledge. In terms of attitude, 68% of the nurses displayed a moderate attitude, 26% had a low attitude, and only 6% exhibited a high level of attitude towards the subject. The study found that nurses had average knowledge and moderate attitude towards handling medico-legal records. However, there were gaps in knowledge and low attitude, which highlights the need for interventions and educational programs.
Human lactoferrin modulates gene expression of the cytokine IL4 and the receptor TLR4 in the rat spleen under stress and upon the lipopolysaccharide administration
Authors: Yankelevich Irina A. , Filatenkova Tatiana A. , Aleshina Galina M. 
Published: July 2023

ABSTRACT
Lactoferrin is a multifunctional glycoprotein of the transferrin family with a molecular mass of about 80 kDa. We studied the effect of human lactoferrin on stress- and lipopolysaccharide-induced changes in blood corticosterone levels, as well as on the gene expression of the cytokine IL4 and the pattern-recognition receptor TLR4 in rat splenocytes. Stress in rats was modeled by swimming in cold water (1-4°C) for 2 min. Lactoferrin and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) were administered intraperitoneally before the stress exposure. Corticosterone level in the plasma was determined by enzyme immunoassay, and changes in gene expression were assessed by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with reverse transcription. We showed that preventive intraperitoneal administration of lactoferrin reduced the stress and LPS-induced increase in the gene expression of both IL4 and TLR4 in rat splenocytes but did not change the concentration of corticosterone in the blood.
In dogs with snakebites does the use of antimicrobials compared to no antimicrobials reduce incidence of wound infection?
Authors: Ballman Megan , Messina Davide 
Published: July 2023

PICO question
In dogs with snakebites does the use of antimicrobials compared to no antimicrobials reduce incidence of wound infection?

Clinical bottom line
Category of research
Treatment.
Number and type of study designs reviewed
Seven case series.
Strength of evidence
Weak.
Outcomes reported
Three studies looked at the incidence of wound infection in envenomated dogs, three compared antimicrobial use to mortality and one compared other outcomes, such as time in hospital. The incidence of wound infection was low in the studies and overall antimicrobials seemed to have no significant effect on outcomes such as survival or wound infection. Therefore, the routine use of antimicrobials for snakebite treatment is not supported by the results, however further studies are required to provide conclusive evidence.
Conclusion
There is currently insufficient evidence from literature to either support or reject the use of antimicrobials in the treatment of snakebites.

How to apply this evidence in practice
The application of evidence into practice should take into account multiple factors, not limited to: individual clinical expertise, patient’s circumstances and owners’ values, country, location or clinic where you work, the individual case in front of you, the availability of therapies and resources.

Abstract
Sarcoids are the most common dermatological tumor of equids worldwide. These fibroblastic tumors rarely regress, more often they remain and can be locally invasive. To explore the functional importance of DNA methylation during the BPV-dependent neoplasia of equine dermal tissues, this study assessed a methylation level of CpG islands (CGIs) in the promoter region of LPAR1, MPZL3, and POPDC2 genes, and within the gene body of the EHF gene, which were found to be differentially expressed in sarcoid samples in a previous study and harbored the differentially methylated sites (DMSs) in their sequences. The results of bisulfite sequencing PCR (BSP) showed a decrease in the methylation levels of CGIs of LPAR1 and EHF genes and an increase in the case of POPDC2. The obtained data did not reveal any changes in the level of DNA methylation in the analyzed promoter region of the MPZL3 gene between the tumor and healthy tissues. Our observations confirm the presence of CpG methylation alterations in the equine sarcoid and provide new insight into a better understanding of the epigenetic regulation of this tumor development.

Published: July 2023

Abstract
The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of replacing soybean meals with legume grains in diets on laying performance of hens and egg quality, with particular emphasis on egg lysozyme content. The study included 4 breeds/strains of laying hens included in the conservation programme in Poland, i.e.: Green-legged Partridge (Z-11), Yellow-legged Partridge (Ż-33), Rhode Island Red (R-11), and Leghorn (H-22). At 41–56 weeks of age, the hens of each strain were divided into two groups: I (control) − fed ad libitum with a standard diet based soybean meal, and II (experimental) − fed ad libitum with a diet that contained beans, peas and lupins instead of soybean meal. At 56 weeks of age, 32 eggs were taken at random from each group of hens and each strain, which were subjected to quality assessment. The results of the study confirm the possibility of feeding the above-mentioned hens with diets in which soybeans were replaced with 28% of faba bean, pea, and yellow lupin grains without a significant effect on laying performance, but with a change in some egg quality characteristics. In groups of hens fed a diet without soybean, a decrease in egg and albumen weight, albumen and yolk pH values, and an increase in yolk yellowness were recorded, as well as an increase in Haugh units and air cell height and shell porosity. There was a significant effect of genotype and diet and simultaneously of both factors on the content and activity of lysozyme in the thin and thick albumen. In the experimental groups, the average content and activity of lysozyme in the thin albumen decreased and in the thick albumen increased. Regardless of diet, statistically significant variation in egg internal quality and egg shell quality between hen strains was shown, as well as a correlation between the content and activity of lysozyme in eggs and shell colour.

Abstract
This experiment aimed to ascertain whether adding chitosan-oligosaccharides (COS) to the diet will affect Mandarah laying hens’ productivity and reproductive efficiency. At the age of 34 weeks, 120 laying hens and 12 cocks of the Mandarah chicken strain were separated into four groups, each consisting of 30 hens and three cocks. The 1st group served as a control group, receiving only a basic diet. The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th experimental groups received 0.1, 0.2, and 0.5 g/kg of chitosan-oligosaccharides as an addition to the base diet, respectively. According to the findings of this study, the majority of the analyzed attributes differed significantly between treatment groups. Comparing the COS-treated birds to the control birds, the COS-treated birds significantly increased egg production, improved feed conversion, Haugh unit score, shell thickness, fertility, hatchability, ovary weight, and the number of yellow ovarian follicles as well as blood estradiol-17β (E2) and testosterone concentrations. Furthermore, compared to the other treated groups, introducing COS at a level of 0.1 g/kg diet resulted in the best laying rate, egg mass, and feed conversion. The highest percentage of fertility, hatchability of hatching eggs, ovary weight, number of yellow ovarian follicles, and serum E2 concentration was also found in birds fed COS at a dose of 0.2 g/kg feed. In addition, compared to the control diet, COS treatment at 0.1, 0.2, and 0.5 g/kg enhanced relative economic efficiency by 464.43, 457.41, and 352.75%, respectively. It is concluded that chitosan improves economic efficiency, reproductive performance, productivity in laying hens, and overall health when used at 0.1 g/kg diet.

Abstract
A nutritional study was conducted to evaluate the influence of dietary fish oil (FO) sparing by using a mixture of vegetal oils (VO) on rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) juveniles (30.0 g). A basal diet was supplemented with the experimental oils at a 10% level, including FO (FO diet), a blend of VO (sunflower, soybean and rapeseed oils with a 1:1:1 ratio), and a mixture (1:1 ratio) of FO and the blends of VO (MIX). In a raceway system, 450 fish were stocked in nine rectangular concrete tanks (50 fish/ tank−1). Three experimental diets, with three replicates each, were offered to fish up to visual satiation for eight weeks. Growth performance did not change among groups (P>0.05). The highest and lowest proportions of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), n-3 long chain-PUFA, especially docosahexaenoic acid, and n-3/n-6 PUFA ratio were in the whole body of FO and the VO groups, respectively (P<0.05). Serum catalase and glutathione peroxidase activities in VO group were higher than others. Serum superoxide dismutase activity in fish fed FO and VO diets was higher than MIX group (P<0.05). VO group had higher serum lysozyme, alternative complement pathway, and total immunoglobulin levels than other experimental groups. MIX group had highest serum triglyceride, cholesterol, and low-density lipoproteins. Serum high-density lipoproteins, aspartate aminotransferase, and alanine aminotransferase levels in VO treatment were in the lowest level compared to others (P<0.05). The highest relative transcription levels of fatty acid synthase, delta-6 fatty acyl desaturase, and apolipoprotein b-100 genes were in the liver of fish fed the MIX diet. The relative transcription level of the fatty acid-binding protein1 gene did not change (P>0.05). In summary, the results of this study revealed that dietary FO sparing with VO did not adversely affect the growth and health indices of rainbow trout; nevertheless, it had adverse effects on its nutritional values by reducing whole-body n-3 LC-PUFA content.

Abstract

Background: The cold pressor test (CPT) is a sympathoexcitatory manoeuvre to measure cardiovascular hyperactivity which may be a sign of future hypertension development.

Aims and Objectives: To evaluate the vascular stiffness background among healthy CPT hyper-reactor (H-R) males and age and gender-matched normo-reactors (N-R).

Methods: The study was carried out in 34 healthy young males aged 19 years old. Five minutes of recordings of left middle fingertip digital pulse wave (DPW) signals (through a piezoelectric finger pulse transducer) were registered. This was followed by the application of a cold pressor. Blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) during CPT were recorded, and the individuals were divided into N-Rs and H-Rs. Vascular stiffness indices like pulse wave velocity (PWV), B/A wave ratio, pulse rising time (PRT, or crest), large artery stiffness index (SI), and pulse width (PW) were compared between H-Rs and N-Rs.

Results: No significant differences were observed between the two groups across all studied parameters.

Conclusion: The results suggest there was no difference in the vascular stiffness background between CPT H-R and N-R individuals.
