Authors: Ranj A. hasan  , Fakher Abdullah  , Saeed Bokan Talib 
Published: July 2023

Pilonidal sinus disease (PND) is an inflammatory condition originated from hair penetration into the epidermis. In this condition, a blind tract will be formed which is lined by granulation tissues (1). The clinical signs are the same spectrum of signs and symptoms of inflammation including pain, hotness, erythema and tenderness, some times it present as a intermittent purulent discharge (2, 3). Usually it appears in the sacrococcygeal region of those persons with prolong sitting like the drivers (Faruq). Several techniques have been practiced as a management strategy of PND. These includes removal of the hairs and cotton-like dirties in an outpatient clinics and excision with or without flaps. General, regional or local anesthesia has been used int the intervention (7). Recently, non-operative management has been increasingly discussed in the literature (salih myoclinic). Several non-sacorcoccygeal PNDs have been reported in literature including small case series and case reports (5- 8). This type of PNS sometime misdiagnosed as other disease (basal cell-PNS). Clinical courses and management options of non-sacrococcygeal PND have never been agreed on by the experts. The aim of this review is to collect, analyse, present and discuss the management of PND occurring in the body other than sacrococcygeal regions.

Published: July 2023

Background
Gastrodia elata is widely used in China as a valuable herbal medicine. Owing to its high medicinal and nutrient value, wild resources of G. elata have been overexploited and its native areas have been severely damaged. Understanding the impacts of climate change on the distribution of this endangered species is important for the conservation and sustainable use of G. elata.

Methods
We used the optimized maximum entropy model to simulate the potential distribution of G. elata under contemporary and future time periods (1970–2000, 2050s, 2070s, and 2090s) and different climate change scenarios (SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, and SSP5-8.5). Under these conditions, we investigated the key environmental factors influencing the distribution of G. elata as well as the spatial and temporal characteristics of its niche dynamics.

Results
With high Maxent model accuracy (AUCmean = 0.947 ± 0.012, and the Kappa value is 0.817), our analysis revealed that annual precipitation, altitude, and mean temperature of driest quarter are the most important environmental factors influencing the distribution of G. elata. Under current bioclimatic conditions, the potentially suitable area for G. elata in China is 71.98 × 104 km2, while the highly suitable region for G. elata growth is 7.28 × 104 km2. Our models for three future periods under four climate change scenarios indicate that G. elata can maintain stable distributions in southern Shaanxi, southwestern Hubei, and around the Sichuan basin, as these areas are highly suitable for its growth. However, the center of the highly suitable areas of G. elata shift depending on different climatic scenarios. The values of niche overlap for G. elata show a decreasing trend over the forecasted periods, of which the niche overlap under the SSP3-7.0 scenario shows the greatest decrease.

Discussions
Under the condition of global climate change in the future, our study provides basic reference data for the conservation and sustainable utilization of the valuable and endangered medicinal plant G. elata. It is important to carefully choose the protection area of G. elata wild resources according the suitable area conditions modeled. Moreover, these findings will be valuable for providing insights into the breeding and artificial cultivation of this plant, including the selection of suitable areas for planting.

Published: July 2023

Orange is the second most important fruit crop of Maharashtra. However, the productivity of fruit is found to be dwindling which might be due to the gaps in adoption of recommended technical know-how. Therefore, the study was undertaken to assess the adoption gaps of recommended orange technologies and the influence of socio-economic characteristics on the adoption gaps. The average gap was to the tune of 31.89 per cent. As far as the association and influence of profile characteristic are concerned, it was found that size of land, source of credit, annual income, experience in farming and knowledge level of the orange growers, knowledge of GAP practices, mass media exposure and socio-economic status had negative correlation with adoption gaps (P= .01) whereas size of land holding and knowledge level, knowledge of GAP practices and annual income had negative influence on adoption gaps (P= .01). The study recommends that the proper extension and communication strategies should be developed for the dissemination of orange production technologies in state. Also, the public and private extension support systems are needed to be reoriented so that they can act more efficiently to provide necessary information about orange cultivation. The present study was conducted in Amravati and Nagpur districts of Maharashtra. An ‘ex post facto’ research design was used for the study. A sample of 200 orange growers was selected through stratified random sampling method for the study. The results of the study shows that most of the orange growers had gap in application of micro nutrient (44.76 %) followed by fruit drop measures (43.16 %) and plant protection measures (42.75%). The average gap was to the tune of 31.89 per cent. As far as the association and influence of profile characteristic are concerned, it was found that size of land, source of credit, annual income, experience in farming and knowledge level of the orange growers, knowledge of GAP practices, mass media exposure and socio-economic status had negative correlation with adoption gaps (P= .01) whereas size of land holding and knowledge level, knowledge of GAP practices and annual income had negative influence on adoption gaps (P= .01).

ImportanceTax evaluations have shown effectiveness in reducing purchases of taxed items. However, few studies have looked at changes in overall dietary intake according to national surveys.ObjectiveTo estimate the contribution of taxed and untaxed beverages and foods to dietary intake over time, and the nutritional dietary profile in total beverages and foods consumed.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis cross-sectional study used data from 3 National Health and Nutrition Surveys of a nationally representative sample of participants aged older than 1 year in Mexico from 2012 (pretax), 2016, and 2018 (posttax). Data were analyzed from September 2021 to December 2022.ExposureTaxes on sugar-sweetened beverages and nonessential energy-dense foods implemented since 2014.Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe outcomes were the contribution of taxed and untaxed beverages to total beverage volume, the contribution of taxed and untaxed foods to total food energy, and the energy density and content of added sugars and saturated fats. Outcomes were assessed with 24-hour recalls (24HR) (2012 and 2016) and Food Frequency Questionnaires (FFQ) (2012, 2016, and 2018), and were adjusted by sociodemographic and macroeconomic variables.ResultsA total of 17 239 participants were analyzed from 2012, 18 974 from 2016, and 30 027 from 2018; approximately 50% were men, and approximately 75% lived in urban areas. According to 24HRs, the contribution of taxed beverages to total beverage volume changed −2.3 (95% CI, −4.4 to −0.2) percentage points from 2012 to 2016, while water increased. The contribution of taxed foods to total food energy changed −3.0 (95% CI, −4.2 to −1.8) percentage points, while untaxed whole grains, processed meats, other animal sources, and sugars and desserts increased. The content in total beverages of added sugars changed −1.1 kcal/100 mL (95% CI, −2.0 to −0.2), and in total foods, the content of added sugar changed −0.6 %kcal (95% CI, −1.0 to −0.2), saturated fat changed −0.8 %kcal (95% CI, −1.1 to −0.4), and energy density changed −9.8 kcal/100 g (95% CI, −13.8 to −5.8). Main results were consistent with the FFQ (up to 2018), with some differences in subgroups and nutritional components.Conclusions and RelevanceThe findings of this study on 3 cross-sectional national dietary surveys are consistent with previous evaluations; after tax implementation, there was a decrease in the contribution of taxed items. Furthermore, some unhealthy untaxed items increased, but the content of unhealthful nutritional components, particularly added sugar, in overall beverages and foods decreased.

AbstractUltrasensitive identification of biomarkers in biofluids is essential for the precise diagnosis of diseases. For the gold standard approaches, polymerase chain reaction and enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay, cumbersome operational steps hinder their point‐of‐care applications. Here, a bionic biomarker entrapment system (BioES) is implemented, which employs a multi‐body Y‐shaped tetrahedral DNA probe immobilized on carbon nanotube transistors. Clinical identification of endometriosis is successfully realized by detecting an estrogen receptor, ERβ, from the lesion tissue of endometriosis patients and establishing a standard diagnosis procedure. The multi‐body Y‐shaped BioES achieves a theoretical limit of detection (LoD) of 6.74 aM and a limit of quantification of 141 aM in a complex protein milieu. Furthermore, the BioES is optimized into a multi‐site recognition module for enhanced binding efficiency, realizing the first identification of monkeypox virus antigen A35R and unamplified detection of circulating tumor DNA of breast cancer in serum. The rigid and compact probe framework with synergy effect enables the BioES to target A35R and DNA with a LoD down to 991 and 0.21 aM, respectively. Owing to its versatility for proteins and nucleic acids as well as ease of manipulation and ultra‐sensitivity, the BioES can be leveraged as an all‐encompassing tool for population‐wide screening of epidemics and clinical disease diagnosis.

Published: July 2023

AbstractThe unambiguous detection and classification of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are crucial in many fields. For using VOC‐sensing to explore the alteration and spoilage of food, very inexpensive sensors are desired. Simple colorimetric sensors seem highly attractive for these applications. Here, a label‐free, colorimetric sensor array made of metal‐organic‐framework‐based (MOF‐based) Fabry‐Pérot (FP) films is presented where the signal read‐out is performed either by their optical spectra or by pictures taken with a smartphone camera. Exposing the FP‐MOF‐films to various VOCs causes a reversible shift of the photonic pattern, where the magnitude of the shift depends on the VOC type, its concentration, and the MOF structure. The application of machine‐ learning‐ algorithms on the sensor data allows to identify the VOCs with a high classification accuracy (92% at 100 ppm). It is shown that the sensor array read‐out can also be performed with a common smartphone camera, also precisely classifying the VOC analytes. Moreover, fresh and spoiled food, like milk and meat, is distinguished by its head space. Thus, the study presents a very inexpensive platform of small colorimetric sensors that allow determining the quality, alteration, and spoilage of food, and it may contribute to realizing smart labels and intelligent packaging.

Published: July 2023

AbstractDeveloping new flexible and electroactive materials is a significant challenge to producing safe, reliable, and environmentally friendly energy storage devices. This study introduces a promising electrolyte system that fulfills these requirements. First, polypyrrole (PPy) nanotubes are electropolymerized in graphite‐thread electrodes using methyl orange (MO) templates in an acidic medium. The modification increases the conductivity and does not compromise the flexibility of the electrodes. Next, flexible supercapacitors are built using hydrogel prepared from poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/sodium alginate (SA) obtained by freeze–thawing and swollen with ionic solutions as an electrolyte. The material exhibits a homogenous and porous hydrogel matrix allowing a high conductivity of 3.6 mS cm−1 as‐prepared while displaying great versatility, changing its electrochemical and mechanical properties depending on the swollen electrolyte. Therefore, it allows its combination with modified graphite‐thread electrodes into a quasi‐solid electrochemical energy storage device, achieving a specific capacitance (Cs) value of 66 F g−1 at 0.5 A g−1. Finally, the flexible device exhibits specific energy and power values of 19.9 W kg−1 and 3.0 Wh kg−1, relying on the liquid phase in the hydrogel matrix produced from biodegradable polymers. This study shows an environment friendly, flexible, and tunable quasi‐solid electrolyte, depending on a simple swell experiment to shape its properties according to its application.

Published: July 2023

AbstractThe increasing use of wearable electronics calls for sustainable energy solutions. Biomechanical energy harvesting appears as an attractive solution to replace the use of batteries in wearables, as the body generates sufficient power to drive small electronics. In particular, triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) have emerged as a promising approach due to its lightweight and high power density. In this work, a TENG is hybridized with an electromagnetic generator (EMG) to harvest energy from the foot strike. An enclosed radial‐flow turbine is optimized and used to convert the foot‐strike low‐frequency linear movement into a higher‐frequency rotational motion (by a factor of ≈12). Besides increasing the motion frequency, the employed mechanism is physically robust and enables a continuous operation from irregular mechanical excitations. A single TENG unit operating in the freestanding mode generated an optimal power of 4.72 µW and transferred a short‐circuit charge of 2.3 nC. The TENG+EMG hybridization allows to power a digital pedometer even after the mechanical input stopped. Finally, the energy harvester is incorporated into a commercial shoe to power the same pedometer from foot walking. The obtained results validate the developed prototype ability to serve as a portable power source that can drive sensors and wearable electronics.
