Published: August 2023

In the last few decades, growing interest has been shown in the development of new solar selective coatings based on transition metal nitride and/or oxinitride for solar absorbing applications. Solar thermal collectors are well thought out to be the most effective process of converting and harvesting solar radiation. In this investigation, Cu/TiON/CrO2 multilayered solar selective absorber coatings have been coated onto Al substrates using the dip-coating process followed by an annealing process at (400, 450, 500, 550, and 600 °C. The XRD analysis showed excellent crystalline quality for the prepared thin films along with enhanced surface features as proved by FESEM images, and the grains are in the range of (27–81) nm. The optical investigations revealed that the film annealed at 600 °C exhibits improved solar absorptance, thermal emittance, and solar selectivity of ~ (90.7 %), (5.8 %) and 15.6, respectively. Also, the highest values of hardness ~ (26.8 GPa) and Young’s modulus ~ (250 GPa) were assigned for the film annealed at the highest temperature. Calculated optical band gaps of fabricated thin multilayered Cu/TiON/CrO2 films were found to be in the range of (1.8 – 2.10) eV.

Published: August 2023

Diante da importância do estudo sobre a conservação dos biomas, é evidente a necessidade de uma abordagem aprofundada sobre o bioma Cerrado na Educação Básica. Por essa questão, foi realizada uma pesquisa objetivando analisar o que há sobre o bioma Cerrado no Documento Curricular para Goiás Ampliado – DC-GO e na coleção de livros didáticos (LDs) do Ensino Fundamental, adotada por escolas da rede estadual do município de X[1] - Goiás. A pesquisa, de abordagem quali-quantitativa, trata de dados que destacam textos e imagens, direta e indiretamente, relacionadas ao tema específico. A análise evidencia que os LDs precisam melhorar, utilizando conteúdos que promovam um aprofundamento conceitual quando relacionados aos referenciais científicos. Por sua vez, verificou-se que o DC-GO pouco contempla o bioma em que o estado de Goiás se faz presente.

A lo largo de la Pandemia de COVID-19 se ha observado un incremento de conductas autolesivas (CAL) en niños y adolescentes. El objetivo de este estudio es examinar el aumento de CAL en niños y adolescentes durante la Pandemia de COVID-19 en un Servicio de Urgencias Pediátricas, considerando variables clínicas y sociodemográficas, y analizar el posible impacto de las medidas de restricción social en la incidencia de CAL en comparación con otros factores de riesgo conocidos. Los datos para el estudio se obtuvieron a partir de 194 informes de alta de un servicio de urgencias pediátricas psiquiátricas atendidas entre enero de 2019 y junio de 2021, ambos incluidos, con sujetos en un rango de edad entre 7 y 17 años de edad. Se utilizó un modelo de regresión logística para el análisis de datos. Aunque no significativo, se observaron mayores tasas de CAL en adolescentes durante el primer semestre de 2021 (73.5%; p = 0.06). Se asoció un riesgo significativamente mayor de CAL a la persistencia de la Pandemia, pero la variable 'semestre de la Pandemia’ explicaba un 8.0% de la varianza y la asociación perdió la significación cuando las variables ‘género femenino’ y especialmente ‘diagnóstico de trastorno afectivo’ se introdujeron en el modelo de regresión, explicando un 35 y un 53% de la varianza respectivamente. El aumento de riesgo de CAL en menores durante la Pandemia de COVID-19 no sería pues generalizable a toda la población infantil y adolescente, si no que se produciría especialmente en el grupo de chicas adolescentes con psicopatología afectiva de base. Se deberá analizar la evolución clínica y funcional para facilitar medidas efectivas que protejan la maduración psicosocial de aquellos jóvenes más vulnerables.

Authors: Asghar Abdullateef A. , Al-Hilli Mohammed 
Published: August 2023

Background: Chronic leg ischemia commonly affects the arteries supplying the leg and mostly caused by atherosclerosis. Triplex ultrasound scanning is useful for delineating the anatomic site of disease in the lower limb in addition to the grading of the stenosis and evaluation of post-stenotic flow.
Objectives: To determine the extent of vasculopathy in patients with chronic leg ischemia by using triplex ultrasound scanning and match the sonographic findings with the clinical signs and symptoms.
Patients and methods: A cross sectional study from October 2009 to September 2010 was performed on 56 patients with clinical suspicion of chronic leg ischemia referring to ultrasound unit for triplex ultrasound examination of lower limbs at Al-Shaheed Ghazi Al-Hariri Teaching Hospital in Baghdad. Patients selected randomly and consisted of 19 women and 37 men. The age ranged between 20 and 90 year.
Results: The highest proportion of patients was within 60-69 year age group. Dorsalis pedis artery was the most frequently involved artery. Most of study sample revealed multi-level stenosis. Atherosclerosis was highest causative factor in chronic leg ischemia. The commonest clinical presentation of leg ischemia was intermittent claudication. Most of the patients show high-grade stenosis. Bilateral involvement is more than the unilateral, right side affected more than the left side. Diabetes mellitus considered the leading risk factor.
Conclusions: Triplex ultrasound of the lower extremities is useful to diagnose anatomic location and degree of stenosis of peripheral arterial disease, which is available and low cost.
Comparetive study between saline sonohysterography,transvaginal ultrasound and biopsy in evaluation of endometrial disease in postmenopausal bleeding
Authors: Ahmed Laith 
Published: August 2023

Background : Transvaginal ultrasound is used conventionally as initial investigation of patients with postmenopausal bleeding, but saline contrast sonohysterography is a better technique to reliably distinguish focal from diffuse endometrial lesion.
Patients and methods: During the period from November 2011 to MAY 2012 ,40 female patients with postmenopausal bleeding were submitted to sequential examination by transvaginal ultrasound ,and sonohysterography .the presence of focal endometrial lesions and type of lesion (endometrial hyperplasia ,polyp, submucous myoma ,or malignancy )were noted .predictive values were calculated by correlating the results with final diagnosis reached by endometrial biopsy.Objectives: to compare the ability of transvaginal ultrasonography and saline infusion sonohysterography as initial modality for the diagnosis of endometrial abnormalities in women with PMB by correlating the results with endometrial biopsy.
Result:The sonohysterography had 89.4 % sensitivity and 90% specificity , DA 90%, compared to 60%sensitivity and 70%specificity achieved by transvaginal sonography .
The diagnostic performance of sonohysterography for 3 main endometrial abnormalities (i.e. endometrial hyperplasia ,polyps and submucous myoma ) was better than transvaginal sonography. The best results were seen in cases of submucos myoma where sensitivity and specificity of sonohysterography reached to 100% as compared to TVS (66% and 95.24% respectively).
Conclusion:The results have substantiated that sonohysterography is a better tool than transvaginal sonography for the assessment of endometrial intra-cavity lesion .by providing accurate differentiation between focal and diffuse endometrial lesions.

Electromyographic activity of periscapular muscles in symptomatic people: Does scapular dyskinesis have an impact on it?
Authors: de Holanda Santos Laís Regina , Batista Gabriel de Amorim , da Silva Oliveira Felipe Augusto , Pitangui Ana Carolina Rodarti , de Araújo Rodrigo Cappato 
Published: August 2023

BACKGROUND: Scapular dyskinesis (SD) is a modification of the positioning and movement of the scapula and is associated with shoulder pain. Exercises to strengthen the shoulder and scapular muscles have been proposed as a therapeutic strategy to reduce pain and improve function. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to investigate the electromyographic activity of the periscapular and trunk muscles in individuals with shoulder pain and SD in different multi-joint exercises. METHODS: Thirty-two subjects with subacromial pain, of both sexes, with the presence or absence of SD, participated in this study. Volunteers performed five repetitions in five exercises (Closed Row; Pronated Row; Push-up; Scapular Push-up; T-push-up). The activity of the upper trapezius, middle trapezius, lower trapezius, serratus anterior, external oblique, and rectus abdominis muscles was recorded using electromyography. RESULTS: Our results showed a decrease in the electromyographic activity of the serratus anterior and external oblique during the T-push-up exercise in individuals with shoulder pain and SD. No differences were observed between groups for the trapezius and the rectus abdominis. CONCLUSIONS: Rehabilitation programs may initially prioritize rowing and push-up exercises to strengthen periscapular muscles. More complex exercises with greater mechanical demand on the kinetic chain, such as the T-push-up, may have to be implemented in later phases.

Authors: Mohan Haritha S. , Tiwari Shivani , Guddattu Vasudeva 
Published: August 2023

BACKGROUND: The growing need and popularity of telepractice over conventional direct therapy by speech-language pathologists (SLPs) demand validation of oral language and literacy assessments via telepractice mode. Considering the limited research on the validation of standardised oral language and literacy tele-assessment in autistic children, it is vital to explore the feasibility of standardised oral language assessments in specific cultural and linguistic contexts. OBJECTIVE: To examine the reliability of standardised oral language and emergent literacy assessments delivered via telepractice in autistic children. METHODS: Emergent literacy and oral language skills of ten autistic children aged between 4 to 8 years were assessed using the Test of Emergent Literacy Assessment (TELA), and Assessment of Language Development (ALD) through in-person and tele-assessment with a gap of 15 days. RESULTS: The findings of the present study establish the reliability of standardised oral language and literacy tele-assessment in autistic children by demonstrating a high level of agreement between in-person and tele-assessment modes. CONCLUSIONS: Telepractice, may therefore, be a feasible and reliable mode of oral language and literacy assessment in autistic children, with adequate knowledge of the required special accommodation(s), training and strong collaboration with the facilitator(s).

BACKGROUND: Lack of druggable targets and complex expression heterogeneity of known targets is common among TNBC subtypes. An enhanced expression of galectin-3 in TNBCs has already been documented. We have observed a tumor progression-dependent galectin-3 expression in TNBCs compared to adjacent epithelium and non TNBCs. OBJECTIVE: To unravel the association of galectin- 3 in tumor progression, aggressiveness and drug resistance in TNBC patients. METHODS: Galectin-3 expression in 489 breast cancer tissues was correlated with clinicopathological features and the results were validated in cell lines and mouse model by silencing galectin-3 using shRNA and the proteins were profiled by western blot and qRT-PCR. Protein interaction was analyzed by GFP Trap and Mass spectrometry. RESULTS: Galectin-3 expression correlated with tumor stage in TNBC and a lower galectin-3 expression was associated with poor patient survival. The positive correlation between galectin-3, vimentin and CD44 expression, pinpoints galectin-3 contribution to epithelial to mesenchymal transition, drug resistance and stemness. Vimentin was found as an interacting partner of galectin-3. Duplexing of galecin-3 and vimentin in patient samples revealed the presence of tumor cells co-expressing both galectin-3 and vimentin. In vitro studies also showed its role in tumor cell survival and metastatic potential, elementary for tumor progression. In vivo studies further confirmed its metastatic potential. CONCLUSIONS: Tumor progression dependent expression pattern of galectin 3 was found to indicate prognosis. Co-expression of galectin-3 and vimentin in tumor cells promotes tumor dissemination, survival and its metastatic capability in TNBCs.
