IntroductionIn the world, 33% of soils are degraded, and 2.9 million people are affected by land degradation, with problems associated with food security, conflicts over natural resources, and migration with different impacts on men or women. To support sustainable soil management, it is necessary to include women’s contributions to soil Sciences; their achievements and academic performance still need to be represented. Women in Science represent 30% worldwide. In Mexico, only 24% of top academic positions are women. For commitment to soil Sciences for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), UNAM created the University Program for Interdisciplinary Soil Studies (PUEIS).MethodsThis research evaluates women’s representation through gender indicators in the PUEIS and SNI datasets and discusses their implications for the gender gap in the soil Science community from Mexico. The data was collected with an online semi-structured survey and the gender indicators selected were related to participation, gender gap, sexism, equal opportunities, exclusion, and academic performance.ResultsThe results show that in the PUEIS, 54% of members identify themselves as women and 46% as men. The gender gap shows equality in the total number of members. However, low-rank jobs, such as lecturers and lab technicians are women dominated, and the top-ranked positions as a full professor, associate professor, and research scientist are equal. One result to consider for the PUEIS members is that the younger generation, as is the older generation, is dominated by men. This could indicate a setback in intermediate generations’ progress toward achieving gender equality. In the case of SNI members, there is a gender gap problem; of members with a Ph.D. degree, only 38% are women, and the elite group of scientists with a Ph.D. at the top position is represented only by 24% of females.DiscussionThis work constitutes the first gender exercise for analyzing women’s participation in the soil Sciences in Mexico. From our perspective, it is not about competition in scientific careers between women and men; however, it is essential to recognize that gender inequalities are related to income, professional development, and science funding inequalities, and these disparities impact women more than men.

IntroductionAn analysis of how the pandemic served to highlight neglected weaknesses and inequalities with regard to the structures and supports available to facilitate women's sport in Ireland.MethodsA survey conducted in the summer of 2021 with 194 female athletes across the island of Ireland. These athletes were engaged with the sports of camogie, Ladies Gaelic football, hockey, and rugby, and each responded to a 28-question survey.ResultsOur findings indicate that the experiences of female athletes during the COVID-19 pandemic raise serious questions regarding equality in sport across gender lines. Concerns expressed by the surveyed athletes, especially in relation to access to facilities, inadequate sponsorship, and funding reveal salient aspects of the experiences of Irish female athletes during the pandemic, and its role as an “exposing force” of inequalities within Irish sport.ConclusionThe COVID-19 pandemic in Ireland has been a challenging and revealing period with regard to sport in Ireland, acting as an “exposing force” of the existing inequitable structures for both the support and coverage of women's sport. Such challenging periods can also offer opportunities to learn, progress and improve and already in the past year there is evidence of positive developments for women's sport in Ireland, developments that we contend were expedited due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in Ireland.

Authors: Monica Puspa Sari  
Published: July 2023

Diagnosis dini infeksi Toxoplasma gondii penting untuk efektifitas pengobatan. Obat yang tersedia tidak dapat membunuh bradizoit yang terkandung dalam kista, obat tersebut hanya dapat membunuh pada stadium takizoit. Semakin cepat infeksi T.gondii terdeteksi maka semakin besar kemungkinan infeksi dapat dihentikan dan keberhasilan pengobatan tercapai. Saat ini tes serologi berbasis antibodi menjadi metode diagnostik yang paling sering digunakan untuk mendeteksi T. gondii. Namun, tes serologi diketahui memiliki beberapa keterbatasan. Berdasarkan penelitian terakhir, Interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA) yang merupakan pemeriksaan berbasis sel T diperkenalkan sebagai uji in vitro untuk mendeteksi infeksi T. gondii. Baik infeksi akut dan kronis bisa dideteksi dengan IGRA, IGRA dapat mendeteksi infeksi pada hari ke 3, sementara serum IgM dan IgG terdeteksi pada hari ke 9 dan 13 pasca infeksi. IGRA secara akurat dapat membedakan individu yang terinfeksi dan yang tidak terinfeksi dengan menunjukkan aktivasi limfosit yang kuat setelah distimulasi secara in vitro oleh antigen T. gondii, bahkan pada hari pertama kehidupan. IGRA adalah suatu metode tes yang mudah dan murah untuk mengukur sel mediasi imunitas terhadap T. gondii. Oleh karena itu, IGRA memiliki potensi untuk menjadi alat diagnostik deteksi dini untuk infeksi T.gondii.

Published: July 2023

What is this summary about?
This is a summary of a research study (known as a clinical trial) called the LIBERTY extension study. The LIBERTY extension study is a long-term study looking at how well a medicine called relugolix combination therapy worked in reducing blood loss during menstrual periods in women with uterine fibroids with heavy menstrual periods. Women were included in the extension study if they finished the 24-week LIBERTY 1 or LIBERTY 2 studies. Heavy menstrual periods were considered to be menstrual blood loss of about one-third of a cup of blood (80 ml) per cycle for two cycles or about two-thirds of a cup of blood (160 ml) during one cycle. The LIBERTY extension study also looked at whether relugolix combination therapy was safe to take for up to 1 year.

What were the results?

Out of 770 total women with uterine fibroids with heavy menstrual bleeding who took part in the LIBERTY 1 and LIBERTY 2 studies, 476 took part in the LIBERTY extension study. From the start of the LIBERTY 1 and LIBERTY 2 studies through the end of the LIBERTY extension:

163 women took relugolix combination therapy for 52 weeks

149 women took relugolix alone for 12 weeks followed by relugolix combination therapy for 40 weeks

164 women took placebo for 24 weeks followed by relugolix combination therapy for 28 weeks

The LIBERTY extension study showed that most women in all three treatment groups responded to relugolix combination therapy by having less bleeding during their menstrual periods, having improved anemia symptoms, and having stable bone mineral loss. Side effects were similar across treatment groups, and the most common side effects were headaches and hot flushes.

What do the results mean?
Women with uterine fibroids with heavy menstrual bleeding taking relugolix combination therapy may have fewer uterine fibroid bleeding symptoms for up to 1 year of treatment.

Do interventions for malignant pleural effusions impact on patient reported fatigue levels?
Authors: Wakefield Donna , Aujayeb Avinash 
Published: July 2023

Background: Malignant pleural effusions (MPEs) are common. They are associated with a poor prognosis and high symptom burden. Previous studies have focused primarily on breathlessness. Aim: To evaluate whether interventions to treat MPEs impact on fatigue levels and to test the feasibility of the methodology. Methods: A prospective pilot study was conducted at a single Trust's adult pleural service over a 7 month period. It used a validated outcome measure, Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy–Fatigue (FACIT-F) to assess fatigue levels pre-intervention for MPE, which was repeated at 7, 14 and 30 days intervals. Data were gathered on patient demographics and potential confounding factors. The feasibility of the methodology was assessed. Recruitment targets had to be revised due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Results: Mean age was 73 years (range 44 to 88), with a predominance of lung cancer and mesothelioma (n=16/25). Patients were willing to participate and the methodology appeared acceptable. High attrition rate was due to deteriorating participant health, rather than unacceptability of study design. For those who completed 30-day follow up (n=11/25), there was an improvement in fatigue scores. The majority of patients screened were recruited to the trial. Conclusion: This study met its aims in confirming the acceptability of the study protocol and suggested that intervention for MPE improved fatigue levels. However, the sample size was small and a further larger statistically powered study should be undertaken before conclusions can be drawn to influence clinical practice.

Abstract
Dielectric barrier discharge (DBD), a non-thermal plasma(NTP)technology, has a wide range of environmental applications. In this study, TiO2, SiO2, and Al2O3 were coated on the surface of a quartz dielectric using a dip-coating method. The catalyst coating coatings effectively improved the local discharge intensity, thus enhancing the generation of reactive species. After discharge by the DBD system, the O atom in the middle of TiO2 crystal is replaced by N atom doping, and the Al = O and Al OH groups on the surface of Al2O3 increase. All Catalyst coating surfaces contained a small number of hydroxyl groups. TiO2 and Al2O3 surfaces had fewer oxygen vacancies. thus making O3 synthesis dominant at the gas–solid interface.

Published: July 2023

The implementation of Holter monitoring (HMECG) and quality of life questionnaires in clinical practice allows for the assessment of the risk of developing dangerous heart rhythm disorders and the most important parameters related to the daily activities of patients with breast cancer. The aim of the study was to evaluate the physical and psychological health, taking into account the variability of heart rate in patients with breast cancer complicated by metastatic lymph node involvement. Material and methods. The study used data from questionnaires completed by 115 breast cancer patients with metastatic lymph node involvement who were receiving treatment at the Republican Oncological Hospital, divided into two groups: a main group of 45 patients with metastatic breast cancer and lymph node involvement, and a control group of 70 patients without lymph node involvement. The average age of the patients was between 30 and 60 years old. Complaints associated with heart rhythm disorders were considered as criteria for indicating HMECG. Quality of life questionnaires were performed using oﬃcial versions of EORTC QLQ-C30 and QLQ-C30/BR23 questionnaires. Results. According to the results of statistical analysis, it was found that the eﬀective refractory period of the atria (ERP PR) in the main group during atrial fibrillation (AF) was shorter than in the control group (p = 0.001). It was also found that in addition to shortening the ERP PR, an important factor in diagnosing breast cancer is an increase in the recovery time of the sinus node function and its corrected equivalent (CVVFSU) at relatively low average values of daily, nocturnal, and diurnal heart rate frequencies. Worsening overall condition or general fatigue are some of the most common symptoms encountered in breast cancer patients, which should be considered as important parameters significantly aﬀecting the quality of life of patients burdened with metastatic regional lymph node involvement.

BackgroundPostural hypotension (PH), the drop in blood pressure (BP) on standing, is associated with falls, all-cause mortality and cognitive decline. PH diagnostic criteria require lying-to-standing BP measurements. PH Prevalence in older adults is 20%, however, it is infrequently recorded in primary care records, suggesting PH testing and/or recording is under-utilised in this setting.AimTo understand current PH measurement and management by primary care practitioners in England.MethodClinical Research Networks circulated an online survey to primary care clinicians involved in measurement of BP. Demographics and responses were summarised as percentages, or median and inter-quartile ranges (IQR), as appropriate. The survey remains open until 30 November 2022; full results will be presented at the conference.ResultsTo date, there are 669 replies (341 doctors, 179 nurses, 70 healthcare assistants, 23 pharmacists, 56 other roles); median age 45 (IQR 38 to 53), 72% female. Overall, 597 (89%) responders check for PH, predominantly when symptoms are present (98%). Less common reasons to check include patients being over 80 (24%), Parkinson’s disease (21%), hypertension reviews (18%), medication reviews (12%) or diabetes reviews (11%). Sitting-to-standing BP measurements are common (77%); only 22% use lying-to-standing. Only 64% ensure a rest period before sitting or lying BP measurement and only 1 (IQR 1 to 2) standing BP measurement is made, usually (66%) within the first minute of standing.ConclusionInterim findings suggest that most PH assessments in primary care do not meet current guideline criteria. Full findings from this survey are expected to inform and influence future national guidelines.
