Published: January 2025

The herbicide drift is problem in crops when it reaches non-target crops. The glyphosate drift after growth regulator application can influence in wheat response. This study assessed the effects of glyphosate drift after trinexapac-ethyl application on wheat. Two field experiments were conducted in winter season of 2018 and 2019. Cultivar TBIO Toruk and Sossego cultivars were used in 2018 and cultivar TBIO Audaz and Cultivar ORS Citrino in 2019. Wheat cultivars were treated with trinexapac-ethyl followed subdoses of glyphosate ranging from 0 to 72 g ae ha-1. The phytotoxicity from glyphosate was less than 10% to para Cultivar TBIO Toruk and Sossego. Glyphosate symptoms were slightly higher in cultivar TBIO Audaz cultivar treated with trinexapac-ethyl. The isolated effects of Trinexapac-ethyl and glyphosate reduced plant height, but the interaction of trinexapac-ethyl and glyphosate factors had a greater reduction on plant height in 2019. The interaction between trinexapac-ethyl and glyphosate promoted more damage than they alone. Glyphosate reduced by up 11% cultivar TBIO Toruk yield but increase around 30% to cultivar Sossego yield. Cultivar TBIO Audaz was the most sensitive cultivar, with yield losses of up to 59% due to glyphosate drift. Overall, the effect of glyphosate on plant height was subdose dependent. Subsequent application of trinexapac-ethyl to plants exposed to the highest glyphosate subdoses resulted in decreased plant height and dry matter accumulation. Trinexapac-ethyl has no impact on wheat yield. The yield response was dependent of glyphosate subdose, cultivar and year.

Published: January 2025

El maíz se destaca por su gran volumen de cultivo, alto rendimiento y contenido de almidón, importante fuente de energía. Dada la necesidad de preservar la salud del consumidor y otorgar diversos usos de este polisacárido, el objetivo de este trabajo fue aplicar dos métodos de modificación (ácido: ácido cítrico y OSA: anhídrido octenil succínico) sobre almidón de maíz de dos variedades (amarillo y morado), para incrementar el contenido de almidón resistente RS (Resistent Starch) a la digestión, y así, seleccionar un tratamiento que permita mejorar su potencial prebiótico. Los almidones extraídos presentaron una pureza entre 86,25% y 93,78%, señalando una buena eficacia de extracción. El maíz amarillo permitió el mayor rendimiento en obtención de almidón nativo y modificado por método ácido y método OSA (47,97% a 56,07%); en comparación al rendimiento logrado a partir del maíz morado (39,06% a 45,98%). El mayor contenido de RS (95,30%) se observó en el almidón de maíz morado modificado con OSA, y el mayor contenido de amilosa (AC) se observó en el almidón de maíz amarillo y morado tratados con ácido cítrico en medio húmedo caliente (37,09 a 41,89%) (p < 0,05); lo que señala que, principalmente el maíz morado modificado por OSA puede actuar como un aditivo de gran potencial prebiótico, útil para diseñar nuevos alimentos funcionales.

Relevance. Midfoot osteotomies are common surgical treatment option for the pes cavus in the presence of a deformity apex in the area of the Chopard joint. Most midfoot osteotomies require additional surgeries: release of the plantar fascia, tendon transfer, etc. Also, osteotomies have typical complications, such as nonunion of the osteotomy area, insufficient or excessive deformity correction. We used a new method for correcting the deformity of the pes cavus – removal of the navicular bone with wedge-shaped osteotomy of the cuboid bone.Aim: analyze the results of a patient who underwent removal of the navicular bone with wedge osteotomy of the cuboid bone.Object and methods. in 2020, we performed the correction of the pes cavus deformity by removing the navicular bone and wedge-shaped osteotomy of the cuboid bone. Clinical outcomes were assessed based on foot appearance, joint function, AOFAS scores, and radiographic findings. Results. Follow-up period was 36.8 months. The healing time was 6 weeks. After this surgical intervention, there was an improvement in functional results, as well as a good aesthetic result. At the last visit, the mean AOFAS score was 88/100. Meary angle, calcaneus angle and Hibb angle were close to normal and changed from 26° to 5°, from 44° to 28° and from 66° to 41°, respectively. In the other joints of the foot, no degenerative changes were detected during the observation period. Subjectively, the patient was satisfied with the results of the operation. Objective results were rated as excellent.Conclusion. Removal of the navicular bone with cuboid wedge osteotomy is an effective surgery for pes cavus. When using this technique, the risk of developing arthrosis and stiffness of the adjacent joints is lower and there is no effect on the mobility of the ankle joint. Additional studies are required to investigate the safety of this technique, as well as to assess the long-term results of treatment.

Relevance. Inguinal hernias are one of the most common surgical diseases, often found in working age men. Despite a significant decrease in the number of relapses after tension-free hernioplasty, the severe pain syndrome, the high frequency of edematous and hemorrhagic syndromes in postoperative period are often founded. Improving the surgical treatment of inguinal hernias reduces the likelihood of the above-mentioned consequences of operations.Goal. Improve the immediate treatment outcomes with oblique intracanal inguinal hernias by developing and modifying methods of prosthetic hernioplasty.Material and methods. A method of inguinal hernioplasty (a method for the prevention of scarring of the spermatic cord (patent for invention No. 2655541 dated 28.005.2018) and a modification of the method of forming the Cux window (rationalization proposal No. 360 adopted by the SamSMU dated 06/29/2016) have been developed. The immediate results of the application of the developed techniques in 60 patients (the main group) were analyzed. The control group consisted of 60 patients operated according to the classical Lichtenstein technique. The pain level of syndrome on a visual analog scale, the severity of edematous syndrome, hemorrhagic complications in the area of surgery, ultrasound data on size measurements of the testicle and scrotum wall, detection of accumulations of serous fluid, and the fit of the implant were assessed and analyzed.Results. The immediate results in the main group were better than in the control group. A decrease in the level of pain syndrome after 1 day and 3 days after surgery was noted. Reliable data were obtained on the positive effect of the proposed surgical treatment option on edematous syndromes, the decrease of hemorrhagic complications.Conclusions. The application of the developed techniques made it possible to improve the immediate results of treatment by stitching the implant from above to the aponeurosis of the external oblique abdominal muscle, reducing the traumatization of the elements of the spermatic cord during the allocation of the hernial sac, the suction capacity of the peritoneum of the inverted section of the hernial sac.

Relevance. It is known that both sarcoidosis of the respiratory organs (SRO) and COVID-19-associated pneumonia involve connective tissue structures in the lungs in pathological processes, which may have similar clinical and radiological manifestations. Computed tomography (CT) of high resolution of the chest is the main method for diagnosing various pathologies of the respiratory system with a morphological substrate.Aim: the objective is to evaluate long-term outcomes of various CT signs of sarcoidoses and COVID‑19 pneumonia.Materials and methods. The study was cohort-based and retrospective. 37 patients with sarcoidosis of the respiratory organs who had suffered from COVID-19associated pneumonia for more than one year prior to admission to the Central Research Institute were examined. The X-ray semiotics of patients with SRO after COVID-19 were analyzed to develop a differentiated approach and dynamic monitoring of these patients. The prevalence of lung lesions associated with COVID-19 was estimated according to 4 degrees of severity, based on the adopted methodological recommendations from the Moscow Medical Center in 2020.Results. Signs of interstitial densification characteristic of SRS were found in 50% of cases (χ2 = 35.18, p = 0.00001), whereas for COVID-19, changes in the peripheral interstitium were more characteristic and were detected in 65% of cases (χ2 =52.46, p=0.00). The extent of the changes was limited in SRS in 46% of cases and in COVID-10 in 69% (χ²=10.8, p= 0.1). By localization, changes were subpleural in 7% of SRS cases and 81% of COVID-1 cases.The predominant topic of change in SRS was basal (77%), with caudal changes in COVID (80%).Pleural involvement was characteristic of granuloma-level SRS in 97% and COVID in 16%. Vascular involvement was 96% in SRS and 39% in COVID.Conclusion. The CT data did not reveal a significant effect of COVID-19 on the course or change of the X-ray pattern, the stage of sarcoidosis of IHL and the lungs. Probably, granulomatous lung inflammation is a more dominant process than viral lesions associated with COVID-19. Changes in the lungs on CT scans do not always correlate with clinical manifestations of COVID-19 or SRS, so further study of their interaction is required in clinical practice.

Published: January 2025

Background: The most common cause of death is cancer. Oral squamous cell carcinoma is the initial phase of more than 95% of oral cavity carcinomas. The earliest histological indication of cancer is dysplasia, which occur before squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) forms. The risk of transformation to cancer is greater in dysplasia than in normal oral epithelium. Objectives: To demonstrate the correlation between the mast cell count and oral dysplastic lesions severity. Methods and Materials: the study involve 30 rats who randomly allocated into two groups: control and experimental groups. Formaldehyde and 7,12-Dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) were applied topically to the rats' buccal mucosa in order to cause carcinogenesis. Mast cell detection using toluidine blue stain. Results: the mast cell count (MCC) was more significant in oral epithelial dysplasia (OED) (high- risk and low- risk dysplasia) than in control and most significantly expressed was in high-risk epithelial dysplasia. Conclusion: As OED severity increased, there was also a significant increase in the number of infiltrating mast cells (MCs). By reducing their tumor-promoting properties, MCs may be a viable target for the treatment of oral premalignant and malignant cancers.
El corazón de las tinieblas: ¿Son las (dis) funciones ejecutivas un factor común en las conductas de agresión y el Bullying?
Authors: Henostroza Mesones Fabiola , Loaiza Dargent Adriana Gabriela , López Terrones Marjory 
Published: January 2025

La presente revisión sistemática tiene como objetivo llevar a cabo un análisis exhaustivo de las investigaciones que proponen a las funciones ejecutivas (FEs) como un camino hacia el entendimiento de los factores individuales que sostienen la conducta agresiva (CA) y, en consecuencia, contribuyen al mantenimiento de dinámicas asociadas a bullying dentro de contextos escolares. La búsqueda de artículos se realizó en bases de datos como Web of Science, Scopus y Pub Med. De manera específica se seleccionaron estudios que analizaran la contribución de las FEs en la CA o en el rol de victimario en situaciones de bullying, llevados a cabo en los últimos 10 años con muestras de entre 4 a 12 años de edad. El resultado final de la búsqueda dio un total de 11 artículos, a través de los cuales se pudo identificar que, si bien las FEs contribuyen en el desarrollo de la conducta agresiva, su aporte puede variar según el subtipo de agresión evaluada. De manera que un rendimiento ejecutivo superior o inferior puede traducirse en perfiles de agresión diferenciados. Asimismo, se pueden evidenciar que otras variables asociadas a rasgos de temperamento como Callous Unemotional contribuyen en la construcción de perfiles específicos. Esto refleja la importancia de promover intervenciones que, por un lado, consideren factores cognitivos y, por el otro, respondan a las características específicas del tipo de agresión ejercida por los victimarios. Cincuenta años después de la primera publicación en la que Olweus acuñó el término bullying, aún quedan vacíos e interrogantes por responder.

Alors que la taille est une pratique ancestrale et obligatoire pour la gestion du rendement et pour garder le plus longtemps possible la vigne en production, de nombreuses questions restent en suspens quant à son rôle sur la physiologie de la vigne, notamment en ce qui concerne la formation du cône de dessèchement qui est la résultante de la plaie de taille. Les tailles dites « respectueuses des flux de sèves » préconisent de ne pas tailler ras et de laisser un « chicot » c’est-à-dire une zone de bois entre la coupe et la base du rameau supprimé. Dans la pratique il est généralement admis que la longueur de ce bois doit être équivalente à son diamètre car la profondeur de la nécrose correspondrait au diamètre de la plaie de taille et qu’il peut être supprimé l’année suivante. Mais qu’en est-il réellement ? Au travers de l’observation des étapes et des mécanismes de formation des cônes de dessèchement, l’objectif de l’étude menée ici est d’une part de vérifier s’il existe réellement une corrélation entre le diamètre de la plaie de taille et la profondeur du dessèchement. Ces travaux ont permis d’étudier 4 paramètres : la qualité de la taille, le cépage, l’âge de la plante et le millésime.
Neural Key Agreement Protocol with Extended Security
Authors: Plesa Mihail-Iulian , Gheorghe Marian , Ipate Florentin 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

Key agreement protocols based on neural synchronization using Tree Parity Machines (TPMs) have two main advantages: their security does not involve trapdoor problems, which may be solved on a quantum computer, and, unlike their quantum counterparts, they do not require special hardware, which is expensive and difficult to manage. In this paper, we present a new protocol for synchronizing two TPMs. Our network construction uses non-binary inputs with positive bounded weights. We analyzed all major known attacks on TPMs and experimentally proved that the percentage of the key recovered by the attacker drops exponentially in the system's parameters. At the same time, the number of rounds of the protocol increases only polynomially.

Published: January 2025

Abstract

Background: Although thymic enlargement is a common and physiological finding of neonates and infants, symptomatic hyperplasia is a very rare condition.
Case presentation: We report a 21-hour male neonate who presented with fast and noisy breathing and failure to suck for 12 hours duration. He had signs of respiratory distress and was initially started on treatment for early-onset sepsis without any improvement. Later imaging showed a thymic enlargement which was then successfully treated with steroids.
Conclusion: Symptomatic thymic hyperplasia is an uncommon condition in the neonatal period. Steroids can be effective in the treatment of thymic hyperplasia help shrink the enlarged thymus and avoid unnecessary surgery.

Published: January 2025

Abstract

Introduction
Atypical community-acquired pneumonia is a common yet potentially fatal infection in children, particularly when classical clinical signs and symptoms are absent.
Case Report
A 7-year-old Hispanic male with a history of developmental delay, umbilical hernia, and ADHD presented to the pediatrician’s office with a chief complaint of intermittent fevers and cough over the past 6 days. His caregivers noted that the fever recurred every other day, with temperatures ranging from 100-102°F, and reported the onset of hives and swelling in the hands and feet on the 5th day. The patient had a negative screening for a rapid COVID, streptococcal, and influenza A/B test. He was sent to the hospital for a chest x-ray which revealed right upper lobe pneumonia. The patient received Azithromycin 200mg/5mL oral liquid 6.3mL on day 1 and 3.1mL for days 2-5 and Amoxicillin 400mg/5mL at 7mL q12h for 10 days, and loratadine 5mg/mL at 5 mg oral daily for 14 days.
Conclusion
One in five cases of pneumonia are atypical in the pediatric population with chances as high as 56% presenting asymptomatically which can make it challenging to diagnose.1 Classic presentation of atypical pneumonia present as the following: cough, fever, muscle ache. In this patient he presents with ambiguous symptoms. Patient followed-up two weeks later and reported abscess drainage on his head and he developed reactive adenitis. Outside of developing reactive adenitis due to an unrelated cause he recovered completely from the pneumonia. 10/25/24 - he developed reactive adenitis with 2 nodules noted on the superior region of head that was draining. He received clindamycin 75mg/5mL, 5ml TID for 10 days.

Abstract

On-site observations of volatile elements in the lunar exosphere provide robust evidence that volatiles such as carbon, nitrogen and oxygen are stored on the lunar surface and are being supplied to the exosphere. However, their sources and dynamics remain poorly understood. Here, we report the chemical composition and its time variations in the lunar exosphere using an Ion Mass Analyzer onboard the KAGUYA satellite. We first discovered sporadic changes in the C+/O+ ratio occurring immediately after meteoroid showers. We also observed daily variations in the C+/O+ and N+/O+ ratios, suggesting two possible sources: the reservoir with a higher N/C ratio than the solar value and CO/CO2 gasses. Our findings indicate that the crucial mechanism for the production of C⁺, N⁺, and O⁺ ions during the daytime is the sputtering of the nitrogen-rich reservoir by the solar wind, whereas micrometeoroid impacts and photon-stimulated desorption are not dominant processes. These new insights shed light on the reservoirs on the lunar surface and the 100-km-scale dynamics of volatile ions, supporting future human activities on the Moon.

Abstract

Objective
Atrial electromechanical coupling time (AEMCT) can be used to evaluate atrial electrical remodeling and early structural remodeling. This study explores the predictive role of AEMCT in postoperative new-onset AF (POAF) after off-pump isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB).
Methods
Atotal of 116 patients who underwent OPCAB and left atrial diameter (LAD)<44mm were analyzed. According to 7-day continuous telemetry and Holter monitoring after OPCAB, the patients were divided into POAF group and non- POAF group.
Results
There was no significant difference in LAD between two group. Multivariate analysis found that P-ALA, TLA and HbA1c in POAF group were significantly higher than that in non-POAF group, that is, higher HbA1c, prolonged P-ALA and TLA were independent risk factors for POAF after OPCAB. P- ALA had the highest diagnostic predicting value. The AUC of HbA1c, P-ALA and TLA with Cut -off was 0.766, 95% CI: 0.67–0.86, P < 0.001.
Conclusion
In OPCAB patients without significant LAD enlargement, when P-ALA ≥ 96. 50 ms, there is more than 90% probability of POAF. The combination of HbA1c, P-ALA and TLA has the highest predictive value of POAF. AEMCT measured with TDI has the advantages of low cost and high repeatability.

Published: January 2025

Abstract

Understanding and predicting glacier instabilities represents one of the greatest challenges in forecasting future sea level rise. Here, we present a study of Hektoria Glacier on the Eastern Antarctic Peninsula, which underwent an unprecedented rate of glacier retreat of ~25 km from January 2022 to March 2023. Retreat commenced after the loss of decade-old fast ice in the Larsen B embayment. This loss of buttressing resulted in a 6-fold increase in flow-speed that produced a 40-fold increase in the glacier thinning rate. In November 2022, Hektoria Glacier transitioned from calving large tabular icebergs to buoyancy-driven calving associated with the transition from a floating to a lightly grounded terminus. By the end of December 2022, ~10 km of grounded ice calved; a retreat rate an order of magnitude faster than any reported in the modern record. Our results suggest that this record retreat was a result of extremely rapid buoyancy-driven calving as the ice front reached an ice plain. The Hektoria case implies that glaciers with ice plain bed geometry can be easily destabilized by loss of buttressing. The resulting extreme effect on ice discharge underscores the importance of identifying outlet glacier regions with similar characteristics.
