As microalgas têm potencial biotecnológico, no geral com fonte de biocombustíveis e suplementos alimentares. Seu custo, entretanto, ainda é significativamente elevado. Assim, meios alternativos têm sido propostos como forma de substituir os reagentes utilizados na formulação destes meios de cultura. Plantas ricas em nutrientes, como por exemplo a chicória da Amazônia (Eryngium foetidum), pode se definir uma alternativa que favorece seu desenvolvimento visando à otimização dos cultivos para um maior crescimento algal. Nesse contexto o objetivo geral desta pesquisa foi propor uma combinação de chicória da Amazônia (Eryngium foetidum), enriquecida com a adição de fertilizante (NPK), visando aumentar a concentração de nutrientes, para reduzir os custos relacionados ao cultivo da Chlorella sorokiniana. Foram realizados diferentes tratamentos, com o extrato bruto de Eryngium foetidum, testando 2,5g, 5,0g, 10,0g e 15,0g, sob a temperatura de 25°C, onde foram incrementados com fertilizante inorgânico (NPK), Desse modo para quantificar a produtividade, no cultivo foi realizado a medição da clorofila a através do sensor óptico da sonda limnológica, enquanto o nitrato foi medido pelo método da brucina. Os parâmetros como densidade celular, clorofila a e nitrato foram analisados no intervalo de tempo de 72 horas do cultivo, por um período constante de 12 dias. Os testes de Anova e Tukey aplicados revelaram diferenças significativas (p < 0,05) entre os tratamentos para densidade celular, clorofila a e nitrato. O resultado dos tratamentos revelou que quanto maior a quantidade de extrato melhor será o crescimento das algas. As correlações entre densidade celular, nitrato e clorofila a foram moderadas ou fortes. Concluiu-se que o extrato bruto da Eryngium foetidum foi eficiente para o cultivo, representando um meio de baixo custo para a produção e manutenção do cultivo de Chlorella sorokiniana.

Introduction:
Our study assessed the efficacy of blended learning, which combines in-person learning and e-learning, in a pediatric scoliosis training program through an international collaborative effort.

Methods:
The course comprised two parts: the online portion, where participants reviewed educational materials for 3 weeks and met with faculty once/week for discussion, and the in-person session, where participants reviewed cases in a team-based approach and came to a consensus on treatment strategy, followed by discussion with an international expert. All participants completed a needs assessment (NA) and clinical quiz at three points: before the course, after the online session, and after the in-person session, which covered various topics in pediatric spine deformity.

Results:
Thirty-six surgeons enrolled in the course from 13 College of Surgeons of East, Central and Southern Africa countries. The NA assessment scores improved significantly over the course of the surveys from 67.3, to 90.9, to 94.0 (P = 0.02). The clinical quiz scores also improved from 9.91, to 11.9, to 12.3 (P = 0.002).

Conclusion:
The blended learning approach in a pediatric spine deformity program is effective and feasible and shows a statistically significant change in participants' confidence and knowledge base in these complex pathologies. This approach should be explored further with larger numbers and/or other spinal pathologies.

Published: February 2023

Background:
From 1999 to 2011, studies demonstrated an increasing trend toward surgical management of adolescent clavicle fractures. The purpose of this study was to examine more recent trends of surgical management of closed clavicle fractures in adolescent patients over the past decade.

Methods:
A retrospective cohort study was conducted using the PearlDiver database. Patients with clavicle fractures from 2011 to 2021 were identified and stratified by age, sex, and year of their fracture. Categorical variables were compared with a chi square test, and continuous variables were compared with the Welch t test or Mann-Whitney U test.

Results:
Overall, there was a significant increase in the percentage of patients surgically treated by open reduction and internal fixation from 2016 to 2021 compared with 2011 to 2015 (8.58% vs. 7.34%, P < 0.001). When stratified by age, both the 10 to 14-year group (3.80% vs. 3.10%, P < 0.001) and the 15 to 18-year group (15.41% vs. 12.84%, P < 0.001) demonstrated significant increases in the percentage of patients surgically treated.

Conclusion:
Despite increasing literature demonstrating high revision surgery rates for surgical treatment of adolescent clavicle fractures with no difference in functional outcomes, this study demonstrated a notable increase in the rate of surgical treatment of adolescent clavicle fractures from 2011 to 2021 in the United States.

The oral microbiota dysbiosis, as well as lifestyle, geographical location, drug consumption, and dietary habits, are involved in the incidence and progression of dementia, Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), and some diseases such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, preterm birth, rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, inﬂammatory bowel disease, and neurodegenerative disease e.g., Parkinson’s Disease (PD) and Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). AD is the most common cause of neurodegenerative disorder in the elderly. Also, neuroinﬂammation is the most common cause of AD pathogenesis. This study investigated the possible relationship between Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) and Alzheimer’s Disease. This review is based on research studies indexed in Scopus, Science Direct, PubMed, and Google Scholar databases. The oral microbiota comprised various microorganisms, such as fungi, archaea, and bacteria. Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) is one of the microorganisms, it stimulates host immune cells and releases cytokines, lysosomal enzymes, nitric oxide, and reactive oxygen species that lead to cell damage, apoptosis, and inflammation. Therefore, periodontal disease (PerioD) through systemic inflammation leads to some problems like the progression of MCI, production and aggregation of beta-amyloid (Aβ) and tau protein in the brain of the elderly population. In addition, some treatment methods could modulate the adverse effects of P. gingivalis like probiotic dietary supplements, maintaining personal hygiene, as well as gingipain inhibitors which modulate cytokines through blocked Aβ production, ApoE proteolysis, and reduced neuroinflammation. In addition, therapeutic compounds like COR388 and COR286, as gingipain inhibitors, prevent P. gingivalis colonization in the brain and have a beneficial action in some conditions like aspiration pneumonia, low birth rate, rheumatoid arthritis, PerioD and AD.

Biaya operasi kapal yang tinggi merupakan tantangan bagi setiap industri maritim, dalam beberapa studi ditemukan bahwa komponen biaya untuk perawatan kapal mencapai 40% dari keseluruhan biaya operasi kapal, untuk itu diperlukan suatu perbaikan sistem perawatan kapal untuk menekan biaya ini namun tidak mengakibatkan kualitas pelayanan menurun.
Sistem Pemeliharaan Kapal Terencana/Planned Maintenance System (SPKT/PMS) adalah suatu sistem yang menyangkut/mengenai rencana-rencana, prosedur-prosedur, dan langkah-langkah untuk mengurangi pemeliharaan tak terduga/darurat (emergency) menjadi sekecil mungkin, sehingga dapat menekan biaya pemeliharaan menjadi sekecil mungkin. SPKT juga merupakan suatu sistem yang akan menolong untuk dapat mengetahui lebih awal kebutuhan-kebutuhan pemeliharaan yang akan datang, mengurangi pemakaian suku cadang (spare parts) dan inventaris (inventory), menghindari pemborosan pemakaian tenaga kerja/jam orang untuk pemeliharaan, menekan waktu dan biaya docking, dan secara umum dapat menghemat biaya pemeliharaan kapal, serta menjamin kondisi teknis kapal sehingga meningkatkan waktu pengoperasian kapal karena kondisi layak laut kapal yang lebih lama. Pemeliharaan terencana rneliputi pekerjaan pemeliharaan perbaikan (corrective maintenance) dan pekerjaan pemeliharaan pencegahan (preventive maintenance).
Standard Operation Procedure Planned Maintenance System yang telah dibuat di desain untuk kegiatan PMS yang bersifat manual, dalam artian menggunakan media form-form berbasis kertas yang harus di-isi secara manual oleh semua entitas sistem PMS. Proses PMS secara manual membuat user harus lebih aktif dalam melakukan isian form yang sudah ada, diantaranya adalah memilah-milah perawatan harian, mingguan, bulanan dan lain sebagainya. Tantangan terbesar implementasi teknologi informasi pada Sistem Pemeliharaan Kapal Terencana adalah bagaimana mentransformasikan SOP yang bersifat manual menjadi berbasis elektronik sehingga meningkatkan kualitas sistem menjadi lebih baik. Jurnal ini menguraikan langkah- langkah implementasi teknologi informasi pada Sistem Pemeliharaan Kapal Terencana mulai dari transformasi SOP, arsitektur jaringan dan metode pelaporan
