BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:
Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) sometimes recurs after surgical treatment and requires reoperation. In Japan, Japanese herbal medicines (Kampo), such as Goreisan and Saireito, have been used as adjunctive therapies to prevent the recurrence of CSDH. However, no prospective randomized study has proven the efficacy of Kampo medicine in all patients. To investigate whether Goreisan and Saireito reduce the postoperative recurrence of CSDH in a prospective randomized study.

METHODS:
Between April 2017 and July 2019, a total of 118 patients who underwent initial burr hole surgery for CSDH were randomly assigned to the following 3 groups: (1) Goreisan for 3 months (Group G), (2) Saireito for 3 months (Group S), and (3) no medication (Group N). The primary end point was symptomatic recurrence within 3 months postoperatively, and the secondary end point was complications associated with the administration of Kampo medicine.

RESULTS:
Among 118 patients, 114 (Group N, n = 39; Group G, n = 37; and Group S, n = 38) were included in our analysis. In this study, byakujutsu (containing Atractylodes rhizome) Goreisan and Saireito were used, unlike other prospective randomized studies in which sojutsu (containing Atractylodes lancea rhizome) Goreisan was used. The overall recurrence rate was 11.4% (13/114: 10 for Group N, 2 for Group G, and 1 for Group S). The recurrence rate of Group G was significantly lower than that of Group N (5.4% vs 25.6%; P = .043). The recurrence rate of Group S was also significantly lower than that of Group N (2.6% vs 25.6%; P = .02). No patients developed complications associated with the administration of Kampo medicine.

CONCLUSION:
This is the first study to show that Kampo medicine reduced the recurrence rate of CSDH in an overall population. This study demonstrated that byakujutsu Goreisan and Saireito may have favorable effects, unlike other studies, because byakujutsu has stronger anti-inflammatory activity than sojutsu.

Abstract
A noble metal-free apatite-type La10Si5CoO27−δ catalyst with high thermal durability for toluene combustion has been prepared via coprecipitation followed by calcination at 1000 °C. It completely oxidized toluene at 310 °C, which was comparable to that of 0.1 wt % Pt/Al2O3 calcined at 1000 °C (290 °C). Furthermore, La10Si5CoO27−δ exhibited high catalytic activity even after calcination at 1400 °C via a solid-state reaction route, and the complete oxidation of toluene was realized at 330 °C, lower than that of 0.1 wt % Pt/Al2O3 calcined at 1400 °C (380 °C).

Compassion fatigue in the community nursing workforce: a scoping review
Authors: Adia Rizwana 
Published: August 2023

Background: compassion fatigue is a phenomenon in areas of nursing practice such as oncology, ICU, palliative care, hospice, and dementia care, but less so among community nurses ( Joinson, 1992 ). A gap in enquiry exists around CN and compassion fatigue around end-of-life patient care. Methods: a scoping review with narrative analysis of selected literature on compassion fatigue in nursing using CINHAL, ProQuest, Science Direct, and the Cochrane Library. Findings: whilst no specific studies were located on compassion fatigue and UK community nurses. Australian, Spanish, and Taiwanese studies report of environment, care relationship duration, resources and poor organisational support being linked to a likelihood of developing compassion fatigue. Conclusion: compassion fatigue is under-researched in community nursing and merits further enquiry to understand the challenges posed by providing end-of-life care.
Legal issues related to heat

Health problems related to climate change are with us to stay, some say for a good while. The effect of excessive heat on the human frame are manifold and they are encountered first in the home. During hot weather, community nurses are likely to be faced with an array of health issues not encountered in more temperate conditions. Those very health issues can also impact on legal issues. John Finch, a freelance journalist specialising in clinical law and ethics, examines how.
Absorption enhancement in GaAs based quantum dot solar cells using double-sided nanopyramid arrays
Authors: Chen Xiaoling , Liu Qing , Liu Wen , Mao Xu , Wei Bo , Ji Chunxue , Yang Guiqiang , Bao Yidi , Yang Fuhua , Wang Xiaodong 
Published: August 2023

Quantum dot solar cells (QDSCs) are regarded as one of the most efficient devices due to their intermediate band structures. A suitable light-trapping (LT) strategy matching the absorption spectrum is important to improve the photocurrent conversion efficiency of QDSCs. In this paper, we have proposed a design of the periodically patterned top and bottom dielectric nanopyramid arrays for highly efficient light trapping in GaAs-based QDSCs. The dielectric nanopyramid arrays significantly improve the light absorption of QDSCs in the longer wavelength between 0.8 µm and 1.2 µm. In addition, this LT structure ensures a completely flat window layer and back surface field layer while passivating these semiconductor surfaces. For the optimized double-sided structure, the short-circuit current generated by QDSC is 34.32mA/cm2, where the photocurrent from the quantum dots (QDs) is 5.17mA/cm2. Compared to the photocurrent of the QDSC without an LT structure, the photocurrent of the double-sided structure is increased by 84%. The QD photocurrent of the double-sided structure is increased by 570% compared to that of the QDSC without the LT structure.
Analysis of News Media-Reported Snakebite Envenoming in Nepal during 2010–2022
Authors: Pandey Deb P. , Thapa Narayan B. 
Published: August 2023

Background
Snakebite envenoming is a well-known medical emergency in the Terai of Nepal in particular. However, there is an epidemiological knowledge gap. The news media data available online provide substantial information on envenomings. Assessing this information can be a pristine approach for understanding snakebite epidemiology and conducting knowledge-based interventions. We firstly analyzed news media-reported quantitative information on conditions under which bites occur, treatment-seeking behavior of victims, and outcomes of snakebite envenomings in Nepal.

Methodology/Principal findings
We analyzed 308 Nepalese snakebite envenomed cases reported in 199 news media articles published between 2010 and 2022 using descriptive statistics, Wilcoxon, and Chi-square tests to know why and how victims were bitten, their treatment-seeking behavior, and the outcomes. These envenomated cases known with substantial information represented 48 districts (mostly located in the Terai region) of Nepal. These envenomings mostly occurred in residential areas affecting children. Generally, envenomings among males and females were not significantly different. But, in residential areas, females were more envenomed than males. Further, victims’ extremities were often exposed to venomous snakebites while their active status and these episodes often occurred at night while victims were passive during snakebites indoors and immediate surroundings of houses. Snakebite deaths were less among referred than non-referred cases, males than females, and while active than passive conditions of victims.

Conclusion/Significance
The most of reported envenomed patients were children, and most envenomings were due to cobra bites. Consultation with traditional healers complicated snakebite management. In most cases, deaths that occur without medical interventions are a severe snakebite consequence in Nepal. Further, several deaths in urban areas and mountains and higher hills of Nepal suggest immediate need of snakebite management interventions in the most affected districts. Therefore, there is an urgent need to immediately admit Nepalese snakebite victims to nearby snakebite treatment centers without adopting non-recommended prehospital interventions. The strategies for preventing snakebite and controlling venom effects should also include hilly and mountain districts where snakebite-associated deaths are reported.

Background
There is a lack of systematic evidence for strategies to control loiasis transmission in highly endemic regions. Here we assessed albendazole and ivermectin based treatment regimens to reduce Loa loa microfilaraemia in Gabon.

Methods
Eligible adult patients with L. loa microfilaraemia between 5,000 and 50,000 microfilariae/ml were randomized to either a control or one of three intervention groups (1:2:2:2 allocation ratio) consisting of three-week twice daily 400mg oral albendazole followed by 1) no treatment, 2) two further weeks of twice daily 400mg albendazole, or 3) a single dose of ivermectin in this open label randomized assessor blinded controlled clinical trial. The primary outcome was the proportion of participants with L. loa microfilaraemia ≤ 100 mf/ml at Day 168.

Results
In the efficacy-population of 42 patients 0 (0%; control group), 1 (9%; 3-week albendazole), 5 (39%; 5-weeks albendazole) and 2 (22%; 3-week albendazole plus single dose ivermectin) participants met the primary outcome of microfilaraemia below 100/ml at day 168. A 80–90% reduction of microfilaraemia was observed in the active treatment groups.

Conclusion
The 5-week regimen of albendazole or a 3-week regimen of albendazole followed by ivermectin were most efficacious to reduce microfilaraemia. All therapeutic regimens were well tolerated and safe.

Objective
The Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale-18 (DERS-18) is an instrument used to measure deficits in emotion regulation. However, the instrument has not been adapted to Malaysians and has never been validated in the Malay language. This study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the Malay version of DERS-18.

Method
The DERS-18 underwent forward-backward translation and assessment of face and content validity. Both Malay version of the DERS-18 and DASS-21 were completed by 701 adolescents (44.4% boys) aged 13 and 14 years old. To assess its dependability, a floor and ceiling effect evaluation and Cronbach’s analysis were both performed. A series of confirmatory factor analyses (CFA), bivariate correlation, and regression were performed to evaluate the construct and criterion validity, respectively.

Results
The Malay version of DERS-18, after excluding “Awareness”, indicated excellent reliability (Cronbach’s α = 0.93), and acceptable internal consistency for each subscale (range of α from 0.63 to 0.82). Floor or ceiling effects were observed at item level and subscale level, but not at total level. CFA results revealed that the Malay version of the DERS-18 bifactor model (excluding “Awareness”) portrayed the best construct validity (χ2/df = 2.673, RMSEA = 0.049, CFI = 0.977, TLI = 0.968) compared to a single factor, a correlated factor, and a higher-order factor model. The DERS-18 subscales (except “Awareness”) and DERS-18 total scores were significantly correlated with stress, anxiety, and depression in a positive direction (r ranged from 0.62 to 0.64, p < 0.01). The general factor of the DERS-18 and its specific factors (“Clarity”, “Goals”, and “Non-Acceptance”) significantly predicted the symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression (R2 ranged from 0.44 to 0.46, p < 0.001).

Conclusion
The Malay version of the DERS-18, excluding “Awareness”, possessed good reliability, construct validity, and criterion validity to assess emotion dysregulation among Malaysian adolescents.

BackgroundIntra-abdominal hypertension and abdominal compartment syndrome are common with clinically significant consequences. We investigated the pathophysiological effects of raised IAP as part of a more extensive exploratory animal study. The study design included both pneumoperitoneum and mechanical intestinal obstruction models.MethodsForty-nine female swine were divided into six groups: a control group (Cr; n = 5), three pneumoperitoneum groups with IAPs of 20mmHg (Pn20; n = 10), 30mmHg (Pn30; n = 10), 40mmHg (Pn40; n = 10), and two mechanical intestinal occlusion groups with IAPs of 20mmHg (MIO20; n = 9) and 30mmHg (MIO30; n = 5).ResultsThere were significant changes (p<0.05) noted in all organ systems, most notably systolic blood pressure (SBP) (p<0.001), cardiac index (CI) (p = 0.003), stroke volume index (SVI) (p<0.001), mean pulmonary airway pressure (MPP) (p<0.001), compliance (p<0.001), pO2 (p = 0.003), bicarbonate (p = 0.041), hemoglobin (p = 0.012), lipase (p = 0.041), total bilirubin (p = 0.041), gastric pH (p<0.001), calculated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (p<0.001), and urine output (p<0.001). SVV increased progressively as the IAP increased with no obvious changes in intravascular volume status. There were no significant differences between the models regarding their impact on cardiovascular, respiratory, renal and gastrointestinal systems. However, significant differences were noted between the two models at 30mmHg, with MIO30 showing worse metabolic and hematological parameters, and Pn30 and Pn40 showing a more rapid rise in creatinine.ConclusionsThis study identified and quantified the impact of intra-abdominal hypertension at different pressures on several organ systems and highlighted the significance of even short-lived elevations. Two models of intra-abdominal pressure were used, with a mechanical obstruction model showing more rapid changes in metabolic and haematological changes. These may represent different underlying cellular and vascular pathophysiological processes, but this remains unclear.
Identification of rice leaf diseases and deficiency disorders using a novel DeepBatch technique

Published: August 2023

AbstractRice is one of the most widely consumed foods all over the world. Various diseases and deficiency disorders impact the rice crop’s growth, thereby hampering the rice yield. Therefore, proper crop monitoring is very important for the early diagnosis of diseases or deficiency disorders. Diagnosis of diseases and disorders requires specialized manpower, which is not scalable and accessible to all farmers. To address this issue, machine learning and deep learning (DL)-driven automated systems are designed, which may help the farmers in diagnosing disease/deficiency disorders in crops so that proper care can be taken on time. Various studies have used transfer learning (TL) models in the recent past. In recent studies, further improvement in rice disease and deficiency disorder diagnosis system performance is achieved by performing the ensemble of various TL models. However, in all these DL-based studies, the segmentation of the region of interest is not done beforehand and the infected-region extraction is left for the DL model to handle automatically. Therefore, this article proposes a novel framework for the diagnosis of rice-infected leaves based on DL-based segmentation with bitwise logical AND operation and DL-based classification. The rice diseases covered in this study are bacterial leaf blight, brown spot, and leaf smut. The rice nutrient deficiencies like nitrogen (N), phosphorous (P), and potassium (K) were also included. The results of the experiment conducted on these datasets showed that the performance of DeepBatch was significantly improved as compared to the conventional technique.
