Authors: Arora Ritika , Agarwal Aparna , Haleem Rizwana , Shukla S.K. 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
The present study discloses the evolution of bioactivity with improved chemical stability in the composite film of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and sweet lime peel (SLP) powder along with biodegradability and improved hardness due to the structural miscibility between constituents polymer during solution blending. The evolved structure, properties, bioactivity, and synergistic effect between PVA and SLP were established with the help of spectrochemical results, morphological results, and physio-mechanical properties i.e. thickness, chemical stability, water vapor transmission rate, heat seal-ability, and shelf-life. The result reveals the better preservation of the bioactive compound of SLP by 200%, antimicrobial nature against S. aureus and E. coli, improved tensile strength, and heat stability in the film. Further, the prepared film of SLP with optimum properties and 0.12 mm thickness was used for packing of sprouts as an alternative to currently used non-biodegradable film with comparable life span for seven days.

Authors: Wu Ting Ting , Mu Yan , Xiong Jing , Wei Yue Qing , Li Hong 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Background
Early rehabilitation and nutrition interventions have been extensively studied to improve the physical function of ICU patients, but optimal strategies remain unclear. ICU-acquired weakness (ICU-AW) negatively impacts both short- and long-term patient outcomes, placing a significant burden on families and society alike. Resistance training, beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyrate (HMB), and the combined intervention have widely been used in clinical populations, and have shown positive effects in enhancing physical function. However, their application in treating ICU patients is still relatively limited. The purpose of the present study is to determine whether resistance training and/or HMB administration would also enhance outcomes in critically ill patients.
Methods
This four-arm, accessor-blind, multicentre randomised controlled trial will be conducted in 10 ICUs at five centres in Fujian province, China. Eligible participants will be randomised in a 1:1:1:1 ratio to receive either resistance training (hierarchical resistance training), HMB group (HMB alone), combination group (a combination of both interventions), or usual care group (conventional rehabilitation and nutritional therapy). The intervention will be administered five times per week through supervised training, with each session lasting 20–30 min during the entire hospitalisation. The four categories— physical function and structure impairment, activity limitation, participation limitation, and quality of life—will be repeatedly measured at baseline, ICU to discharge, and hospital discharge. Data will be analysed using a generalised linear mixed model and will follow the principles of intention-to-treat analysis.
Discussion
This multicenter with four-arm design of RCT will investigate the efficacy of resistance exercise, HMB, and their combined utilization in enhancing physical function among ICU patients. The outcomes of our study will provide optimal rehabilitation strategies for the prevention of ICU-AW for clinical application, and serve as a foundation for future research endeavors in this field.

Flexible heat pumps: must-have or nice to have in a power sector with renewables?
Authors: Roth Alexander , Kirchem Dana , Gaete-Morales Carlos , Schill Wolf-Peter 
Published: August 2023

Abstract

Heat pumps are a key technology for reducing fossil fuel use in the heating sector. A transition to heat pumps implies an increase in electricity demand, especially in cold winter months. Using an open-source power sector model, we examine the power sector impacts of a massive expansion of decentralized heat pumps in Germany in 2030, combined with buffer heat storage of different sizes. Assuming that the additional electricity used by heat pumps has to be fully covered by renewable energies in a yearly balance, we quantify the required additional investments in renewable energy sources. If wind power expansion potentials are limited, the roll-out of heat pumps can also be accompanied by solar PV with little additional costs, making use of the European interconnection. The need for additional firm capacity and electricity storage generally remains limited even in the case of temporally inflexible heat pumps. We further find that relatively small heat storage capacities of 2 to 6 hours can substantially reduce the need for short- and long-duration electricity storage, other generation capacities, and power sector costs. We further show that 5.8 million additional heat pumps save around 120 TWh of natural gas and 24 million tonnes of CO2 emissions per year.

Published: August 2023

Abstract

Purpose
Sigmoid volvulus (SV) recurs in about one quarter of the patients, whereas multiplex (≥3) attacks are quite rare and attacks with five or more times are extremely rare. The aim of this study is to evaluate multiplex SV attacks in our series and worldwide data.
Methods
In our 1,071-case series, data were evaluated retrospectively in 612 patients, while prospectively in 459 with respect to age, gender, previous volvulus attacks, and prognosis. Worldwide data were obtained from Web of Science database and they were compared with our results.
Results
Mean SV attack count, multiple- (≥2) and multiplex- (≥3)attack rates were 1.4, 26.1%, and 4.2%, respectively, in our series, while they were 1.7, 26.7%, and 3.2%, respectively, in worldwide data (p>0.05, in all). In our series, recurrence rates were 26.1%, 19.3%, and 51.2%, respectively, (p<0.001, in all), while mortality rates were 7.3%, 13.7%, and 19.5%, respectively, (p<0.001, in all) in single-, double-, and multiplex- (≥3) attack patients.
Conclusions
Although multiplex (≥3) attacks are uncommon in SV, when it goes up, elective surgery must be considered in selected cases to avoid repetitive attacks and related high mortality.
Meta-analysis of the correlation between BMI and risk factors for osteoporosis
Authors: Gong Yichen , Cai YunHuo , Li Ning 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Objectives: The purpose of this meta-analysis is to assess whether there is an association between BMI and osteoporosis.
Methods: Domestic and foreign databases were searched for case-control studies published from 1990.1.1. to 2022.12.31, they use medical subject headings (MeSH) and keywords. All statistical analyses were performed using Review Manager 5.3. If I2 <50%, a fixed-effects model was adopted. If I2> 50% (which indicated great heterogeneity), a random-effects model was adopted.
Results: This meta-analysis included 18 case-control studies covering 9078 individuals, published between 1990 and 2022. The pooling analysis shows that low BMI is a risk factor for osteoporosis complicated by type 2 diabetes, high BMI is a risk factor for osteoporosis complicated by menopausal women, and low BMI is a risk factor for primary osteoporosis. The correlation between normal and high BMI and primary osteoporosis cannot be demonstrated yet; BMI is a risk factor for osteoporosis in patients with frequent glucocorticoid use or COPD, and the correlation between BMI and risk factors for osteoporosis in stroke patients cannot be demonstrated yet.
Conclusions: Our meta-analysis shows that low BMI is a risk factor for osteoporosis complicated by type 2 diabetes and primary osteoporosis, high BMI is a risk factor for osteoporosis complicated by menopausal women, and BMI is a risk factor for osteoporosis in patients with frequent glucocorticoid use or COPD. This provides a theoretical basis for the prevention of osteoporosis in clinical practice.

Published: August 2023

Abstract
This study aimed to conduct a cross-sectional data analysis of the alveolar bone mineral density (al-BMD) in 225 patients of various ages and different sexes. The al-BMD value in the mandibular incisor region was calculated using a computer-aided measurement system (DentalSCOPE®) for intraoral radiography. All participants with intact teeth (101 males and 124 females; age range, 25–89 years) were divided into three age-segregated groups (25–49, 50–74, and > 75 years). Statistical differences were evaluated using the Mann–Whitney U or Kruskal–Wallis test. Males exhibited significantly greater al-BMD than females (p < 0.001). The highest means were observed in the 25–49 age group, regardless of sex (1007.90 mg/cm2 in males, 910.90 mg/cm2 in females). A 9.8% decrease in al-BMD was observed with the increase in age in males (25–49 to 50–74 years; p = 0.004); however, no further changes were seen thereafter. In females, a decreasing trend was seen throughout the lifespan, with values reaching up to 76.0% of the initial peak value (p < 0.001). Similar to other skeletal sites, the alveolar bone exhibits sex differences and undergoes a reduction in BMD via the normal aging process.
Clay-supported bio-based Lewis acid ionic liquid as a potent catalyst for the dehydration of fructose to 5- hydroxymthylfurfural

Published: August 2023

Abstract
Caffeine and halloysite nanoclay mineral were used as bio-based compounds to synthesize a novel Lewis acid heterogeneous catalyst. To prepare the catalyst, halloysite was functionalized with 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine and reacted with caffeine. Caffeine was then converted to ionic liquid via a reaction with ZnCl2. The catalyst was characterized using SEM/EDS/mapping, FTIR, TGA, XRD, BET and applied for promoting the dehydration of fructose to 5-hydroxymthylfurfural. To investigate the effects of the reaction variables, response surface methodology was used. The product was achieved in 98.5% in 100 min using a catalyst loading of 30 wt% at 100°C. Moreover, the catalyst was highly recyclable and stable. Comparison of the catalytic activity of the catalyst with that of halloysite and a control catalyst with one caffeine-based Lewis acid ionic liquid confirmed the superior activity of the former and the important role of 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine for increasing the number of the grafted caffeine and thus the acidic sites of the catalyst. A plausible reaction mechanism was proposed, and the activity of the catalyst for other carbohydrates was also studied. According to the results, this catalyst catalyzed the reaction of other substrates to furnish 5-hydroxymthylfurfural in low to moderate yields.

Authors: Elhidsi Mia , Soehardiman Dicky , Aniwidyaningsih Wahju , Alatas Mochamad Fahmi , Desianti Ginanjar Arum , Pradono Prasenohadi 
Published: August 2023

Introduction:
Flexible bronchoscopy is a less invasive procedure for extracting foreign bodies from the airways. However, studies on the extraction of headscarf pins are still very limited to determine the efficacy and safety of headscarf pin extraction using flexible bronchoscopy with biopsy forceps.

Methods:
This retrospective study was conducted at Persahabatan Hospital, Jakarta, Indonesia, on patients who had been treated in this hospital for headscarf pin extraction between January 2013 and February 2023. Fibreoptic bronchoscopy was performed under general anaesthesia. The pin was removed using Radial Jaw 4 mm single-use pulmonary biopsy forceps. The impacted sharp tip of the pin was freed first, and the proximal part of the pin body was gripped using biopsy forceps. Once a firm hold of the sharp end or the proximal part of the pin was secured, the bronchoscope and forceps were both slowly withdrawn under direct vision.

Results:
Thirty-two cases with headscarf pin aspiration were managed by fibreoptic bronchoscopy. A total of 12 patients (37.5%) came without any respiratory complaints; however, an equal number complained of cough and 6 cases (18.7%) of haemoptysis. All the cases in which the pins were visible in the airway were found with the round head down and the sharp tip oriented superiorly in the airway and impacted in the mucosa. Fibreoptic bronchoscopy extraction succeeded in 31 cases (96.8%). Only one case was converted to surgery. There were no major complications.

Conclusion:
Fibreoptic bronchoscopy with biopsy forceps under general anaesthesia is safe and effective for the removal of headscarf pin aspiration.

<p><strong>Abstrak: </strong>Artikel ini mengkaji pemikiran H. Yusuf Ahmad Lubis tentang buruh. Studi ini menarik dilakukan mengingat kajian tentang buruh dalam perspektif Islam masih relatif jarang dilakukan. Studi ini merupakan studi kepustakaan. Data dianalisis dengan metode analisis isi. Studi ini menunjukkan bahwa H. Yusuf Ahmad Lubis sebagai seorang ulama menulis sebuah karya mengenai kedudukan buruh dalam Islam. Konsep Islam mengenai buruh memiliki perbedaan dengan konsep komunisme dan kapitalisme. Pemikiran H. Yusuf Ahmad Lubis tentang buruh terdiri atas tiga aspek. <em>Pertama</em>, anjuran bekerja dalam Islam. <em>Kedua</em>, prinsip Islam tentang hubungan buruh (karyawan) dan majikan. <em>Ketiga</em>, tanggung jawab negara terhadap buruh. Setidaknya ketiga aspek tersebut menjadi indikasi pembeda antara konsep Islam dengan konsep ideologi tentang buruh. Inti dari pemikirannya adalah bahwa pekerja/buruh itu adalah teman dan mitra sejajar yang tidak boleh dieksploitasi. Eksploitasi terhadap buruh merupakan bentuk dari perbudakan modern.
