Maximizing Wheat Productivity: Synergizing Urine versus Urea Treated Poultry Manure Compost with Zinc and Beneficial Microbes in Semiarid Climates
Authors: Amanullah  , Ali Syed Ashfaq 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Despite the global importance of wheat production, semiarid regions face significant challenges in achieving high yields. In Pakistan, where wheat cultivation is crucial for food security, addressing these challenges becomes even more critical.This study focuses on improving wheat productivity in semiarid regions, specifically in Pakistan, where water scarcity and nutrient deficiencies pose challenges. The research investigates the effects of poultry manure composts (PMC) and Zn levels on wheat (cv. Khaista 2017) yield and yield components. The aim is to explore sustainable alternatives to chemical fertilizers and maximize the benefits by incorporating beneficial microbes. The field experiment conducted in Harichand Charsadda, Pakistan, employed a randomized complete block design with three replications. The results reveal that wheat crops treated with BMO,, a beneficial microbe, exhibited delayed physiological maturity, taller plants, increased leaf area, more grains per spike, and higher yields. Among the poultry manure sources, urea treated poultry manure (UTPMC) had the most significant effects, while applying 15 kg Zn ha-1 resulted in favorable outcomes. The findings highlight the potential of combining UTPMC and zinc application to enhance wheat productivity in semiarid climates, contributing to sustainable agriculture practices and food security, particularly in Pakistan.

Abstract

Background
Amplicon sequencing of kingdom-specific tags such as 16S rRNA gene for bacteria and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region for fungi are widely used for investigating microbial communities. So far most human studies have focused on bacteria while studies on host-associated fungi in health and disease have only recently started to accumulate. To enable cost-effective parallel analysis of bacterial and fungal communities in human and environmental samples, we developed a method where 16S rRNA gene and ITS1 amplicons were pooled together for a single Illumina MiSeq or HiSeq run and analysed after primer-based segregation. Taxonomic assignments were performed with Blast in combination with an iterative text-extraction based filtration approach, which uses extensive literature records from public databases to select the most probable hits that were further validated by shotgun metagenomic sequencing.
Results
Using 50 vaginal samples, we show that the combined run provides comparable results on bacterial composition and diversity to conventional 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing. The text-extraction-based taxonomic assignment guided tool provided ecosystem specific bacterial annotations that were confirmed by shotgun metagenomic sequencing (VIRGO, MetaPhlAn, Kraken2). Fungi were identified in 39/50 samples with ITS sequencing while in the metagenome data fungi largely remained undetected due to their low abundance and database issues. Co-abundance analysis of bacteria and fungi did not show strong between-kingdom correlations within the vaginal ecosystem of healthy women.
Conclusion
Combined amplicon sequencing for bacteria and fungi provides a simple and cost-effective method for simultaneous analysis of microbiota and mycobiota within the same samples. Conventional metagenomic sequencing does not provide sufficient fungal genome coverage for their reliable detection in vaginal samples. Text extraction-based annotation tool facilitates ecosystem-specific characterization and interpretation of microbial communities by coupling sequence homology to microbe metadata readily available through public databases.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To describe the clinical characteristics, procedural techniques, complications, and outcomes of dogs and cats undergoing any of the following modified hemipelvectomy techniques: concurrent partial sacrectomy and/or partial vertebrectomy, osseous excision crossing midline, and reconstruction without the use of local musculature.

ANIMALS
23 client-owned animals (20 dogs and 3 cats) that underwent modified hemipelvectomy techniques. Animals that underwent traditional (nonmodified) hemipelvectomy techniques were excluded.

PROCEDURES
The medical records of 3 academic institutions were reviewed, and data were recorded and analyzed.

RESULTS
Modified hemipelvectomy was performed with partial sacrectomy and/or vertebrectomy in 11 dogs, excision crossing pelvic midline with concurrent limb amputation in 5 dogs and 2 cats, and closure without use of native muscle or mesh in 4 dogs and 1 cat. Surgery was performed for tumor excision in all cases. Excision was reported as complete in 16 of 23, incomplete in 6 of 23, and not recorded in 1 of 23 animals. All animals survived to discharge. Only animals undergoing partial sacrectomy/vertebrectomy (4/11) experienced postoperative mobility concerns. Major intra- or post-operative complications (grades 3 and 4) occurred in 2 dogs that underwent partial sacrectomy/vertebrectomy, and 1 of these animals experienced a complication that resulted in death. The median time to death or last follow-up was 251 days (range, 3 to 1,642).

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
The modified hemipelvectomy techniques reported in this cohort were overall well tolerated with good functional outcomes. These findings support the use of these modified hemipelvectomy techniques in dogs and cats, and previous notions regarding tolerable hemipelvectomy procedures should be reconsidered. However, additional studies with larger numbers of patients undergoing modified hemipelvectomy techniques are needed to gain more information.

Published: July 2023

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To describe clinical findings, diagnosis, treatment, and survival in 18 cats with anemia of suspected immune-mediated origin (ASIMO) and conflicting results using FeLV diagnosis tests, and to suggest an accurate way to assess their FeLV diagnosis.

ANIMALS
18 cats.

PROCEDURES
Medical records from 5 veterinary institutions were retrospectively reviewed to identify cats with ASIMO, positive results on p27 SNAP ELISA, and negative results on pro-virus PCR testing in peripheral blood, in the absence of other identified triggers. Follow-up was recorded from diagnosis to the time of writing, and survival analysis was performed to assess similarities with previous published data.

RESULTS
18 cats were enrolled from referral centers in Spain, Italy, and the United Kingdom. Both peripheral immune-mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA; 12/18) and precursor targeted immune-mediated anemia (PIMA; 6/18) were described. When the SNAP ELISA test was rechecked in patients with disease control, SNAP ELISA positive results had become negative. Two cats had a relapse of the ASIMO, and the FeLV SNAP ELISA tested positive again. Other signs of FeLV disease did not appear in any of these patients despite immunosuppression. 14 cats (14/18 [78%]) were alive at the time of writing, and the mean estimated survival time was 769 days.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
This study describes incongruent FeLV results in cats with ASIMO. It supports the necessity to confirm FeLV SNAP ELISA positive results using additional tools, such as pro-virus PCR testing, as different p27 point-of-care and external serological tests may be inconsistent.
Optimisation of surface characteristics of standard duplex stainless for bio-applications by using electrophoretic deposition: A brief review
Authors: Albaraqaawee Zainab , Abdulsada Shaymaa Abbas 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
There are still some challenges and issues related to the long-term usage of the material, despite the apparent and successful expansion in metallic orthopaedic applications and bone replacement. The goal of the current study is to use 2205 duplex stainless steels instead of 316L stainless steels in medical applications (DSS). The 2205 DSS is characterised by a decreased nickel content, which offers a benefit in medical applications by lowering the release of nickel ions in the body. It is made up of two-phase (austenite and ferrite) microstructures. Additionally, this alloy finds employment in a range of media due to its excellent mechanical strength, hardness, toughness, and corrosion resistance at an affordable price. There is a pertinent issue to take into account with these constraints because of the poor osteoconductivity and the risk of surface contact, which leads to severe corrosion of metallic implants due to the presence of body fluid. This review demonstrates how to modify the surface of DSS-2205 by coating it with hydroxyapatite/multi-wall carbon nanotubes using electrophoretic deposition (EPD) to enhance corrosion resistance, biocompatibility, and osseointegration. It also discusses the impact of the two most crucial EPD variables (potential and time) on the characteristics of the deposited layer in order to determine the best EPD variable values.

Published: July 2023

Keberhasilan sektor konstruksi tidak luput dari biaya dan kualitas, dilaporkan bahwa kegagalan kualitas teridentifikasi mencapai 5 - 20% dari nilai kontrak proyek. Untuk mengurangi kegagalan kualitas dan biaya kegagalan pada pelaksanaan proyek kontruksi perlu adanya identifikasi cost of quality (COQ). Dalam penelitian konstruksi beton bertulang dipilih sebagai objek identifikasi COQ karena termasuk bagian dari struktur yang kritis. Tujuan penelitian mengkategorikan COQ dari faktor internal dan eksternal dan menganalisis potensi biaya yang dikeluarkan untuk faktor kegagalan tersebut. Analisa quality failure cost dilakukan berdasarkan pembobotan hasil matriks perbandingan berpasangan untuk didapatkan nilai Consistency Index (CI) dan Consistency Ratio (CR), serta menggunakan uji Kruskal Wallis sebagai pendekatan uji non-paramatrik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa COQ sangat berpengaruh pada profitabilitas, dimana kegagalan kualitas internal tertinggi adalah pada faktor metode kerja yang memengaruhi kegagalan hasil akhir beton berupa kecacatan secara struktur maupun visual, sedangkan kegagalan kualitas eksternal tertinggi adalah pada faktor penggantian produk atas permintaan klien yang di sebabkan produk konstruksi yang dihasilkan tidak sesuai dengan spesifikasi ataupun tidak sesuai dengan fungsi yang diharapkan. Berdasarkan faktor penyebab kegagalan kualitas tersebut, proses kontrol terhadap pelaksanaan saat memengaruhi hasil akhir dari kualitas produk hingga menyebabkan adanya permintaan, penggantian, dan perbaikan dari klien pada masa garansi. Biaya kegagalan yang memperngaruhi nilai kontrak tertinggi adalah sebesar 7,26% dari kegagalan internal dan 6,40% dari kegagalan eksternal.

Published: July 2023

Introduction: Chirality is a crucial mechanical cue within the extracellular matrix during tissue repair and regeneration. Despite its key roles in cell behavior and regeneration efficacy, our understanding of chirality-biased protein profile in vivo remains unclear.Methods: In this study, we characterized the proteomic profile of proteins extracted from bone defect areas implanted with left-handed and right-handed scaffold matrices during the early healing stage. We identified differentially-expressed proteins between the two groups and detected heterogenic characteristic signatures on day 3 and day 7 time points.Results: Proteomic analysis showed that left-handed chirality could upregulate cell adhesion-related and GTPase-related proteins on day 3 and day 7. Besides, interaction analysis and in vitro verification results indicated that the left-handed chiral scaffold material activated Rho GTPase and Akt1, ultimately leading to M2 polarization of macrophages.Discussion: In summary, our study thus improved understanding of the regenerative processes facilitated by chiral materials by characterizing the protein atlas in the context of bone defect repair and exploring the underlying molecular mechanisms of chirality-mediated polarization differences in macrophages.
