Published: September 2023

Abstract
We report the detection of the millimeter CH3OH masers including a new detection of class I (110,11–101,10A) and class II (61,5–52,4E) maser transitions toward the high-mass protostar S255IR NIRS3 in postburst phase. The CH3OH emissions were detected as a mixture of maser and thermal characteristics. We examine the detected transitions using an excitation diagram and local thermodynamic equilibrium model spectra and compare the observed properties with those of thermal lines. Class II CH3OH maser transitions showed distinctive intensity and velocity distributions from those of thermal transitions. Bright, distinct emission components in addition to the fragmented and arc-shaped emissions are only detected in class I CH3OH maser transitions toward southern and western directions from the protostellar position, implying the presence of the slow outflow shocks.
Building the Australian National Species List
Authors: Cooper Endymion , Whitbread Greg , Fuchs Anne 
Published: September 2023

The Australian National Species List (AuNSL) is a unified, nationally accepted, taxonomy for the native and naturalised biota of Australia. It is derived from a set of taxon-focussed resources including the Australian Plant Name Index and Australian Plant Census, the Australian Faunal Directory, and similar lists of fungi, lichens and bryophytes. These resources share a common infrastructure, contribute to the single national taxonomy (AuNSL), but retain their independent curation practices and online presentation. The AuNSL is now the core national infrastructure providing names and taxonomy for significant biodiversity data infrastructures including the Atlas of Living Australia, the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network, the Biodiversity Data Repository, and the Species Profile and Threats Database.
As the go-to resource for names and taxonomy for Australia’s unique biodiversity, the AuNSL must be constantly updated to reflect taxonomic and nomenclatural change. For some taxonomic groups, the AuNSL is substantially complete, and the incorporation of new taxa and other novelties occurs with little time lag. For other taxonomic groups the data are patchy and updates sporadic. Like similar projects, the AuNSL would benefit from improvements to taxonomic data publishing and sharing. Such improvements have the potential to enable automated, real-time ingestion for new taxonomic and nomenclatural data, allowing curator time to be re-directed to backfilling the historical data from a dispersed and complex literature. Ideally, the AuNSL will be able to benefit from advances in automated approaches to processing the historical data, including via the sharing of standardised representations of such data.
Here we outline the AuNSL data model, editor functionality, and describe our approach to sharing our data via existing and emerging standards such as Darwin Core and Taxon Concept Schema (TCS2). We then describe what we, as consumers of taxonomic data from published works, really need from publishers of new, and reprocessed historical data. In brief, we need structured taxonomic data conforming to an adequate standard.

Authors: Kiekkas Panagiotis , Kourtis Grigorios , Feizidou Paraskevi , Igoumenidis Michael , Almpani Eleni , Tzenalis Anastasios 
Published: September 2023

Background
The few studies of associations between fever and outcomes in pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) patients have conflicting findings. Associations between hypothermia and patient outcomes have not been studied.

Objective
To investigate the incidence and characteristics of fever and hypothermia and their associations with adverse outcomes among PICU patients.

Methods
Patients consecutively admitted to 2 PICUs in a 2-year period were prospectively studied. Core temperature was mainly measured by rectal or axillary thermometry. Fever and hypothermia were defined as core temperatures of greater than 38.0 °C and less than 36.0 °C, respectively. Prolonged mechanical ventilation, prolonged PICU stay, and PICU mortality were the adverse patient outcomes studied. Associations between patient outcomes and core temperature disorders were evaluated with univariate comparisons and multivariate analyses.

Results
Of 545 patients enrolled, fever occurred in 299 (54.9%) and hypothermia occurred in 161 (29.5%). Both temperature disorders were independently associated with prolonged mechanical ventilation and prolonged PICU stay (P &lt; .001) but not with PICU mortality. Late onset of fever (P &lt; .001) and hypothermia (P = .009) were independently associated with prolonged mechanical ventilation, fever magnitude and duration (both P &lt; .001) were independently associated with prolonged PICU stay, and fever magnitude (P &lt; .001) and infectious cause of hypothermia (P= .01) were independently associated with higher PICU mortality.

Conclusions
These findings provide evidence that the manifestation and characteristics of fever and hypothermia are independent predictors of adverse outcomes in PICU patients.
Residual Psychomotor Skills of Orderlies After a Novel Chest Compression Training Intervention
Authors: Voizard Philippe , Vincelette Christian , Carrier François Martin , Sokoloff Catalina 
Published: September 2023

Background
High-quality chest compressions are essential to favorable patient outcomes after in-hospital cardiac arrest. Without frequent training, however, skill in performing compressions declines considerably. The Timely Chest Compression Training (T-CCT) intervention was introduced in 2019 as a quality improvement initiative to address this problem. The long-term impact of the T-CCT is unknown.

Methods
A cohort study was conducted at a university-affiliated hospital in Quebec, Canada. Chest compression performance among orderlies was measured by using a subtractive scoring model and mannequins. The association of exposure to the T-CCT 10 months earlier with having an excellent chest compression performance (score ≥90 out of 100), after adjusting for potential confounders, was examined.

Results
A total of 412 orderlies participated in the study. More than half (n = 232, 56%) had been exposed to the T-CCT, and the rest (n = 180, 44%) had not. Nearly half (n = 106, 46%) of orderlies exposed to the T-CCT had an excellent performance, compared with less than one-third (n = 53, 30%) of nonexposed orderlies. In univariable analysis, previous exposure to the T-CCT was associated with 1.53 times greater risk of having an excellent performance (risk ratio, 1.53; 95% CI, 1.17-1.99). This effect remained after adjustment for potential confounders (risk ratio, 1.57; 95% CI, 1.19-2.07).

Conclusion
The results of this study suggest that the T-CCT has a lasting effect on the psychomotor skills of orderlies 10 months after initial exposure. Further research should investigate the impact of the intervention on patient outcomes after in-hospital cardiac arrest.
Pyrolysis as a value added method for plastic waste management: A review on converting LDPE and HDPE waste into fuel
Authors: Uthpalani P. G. I. , Premachandra J. K. , De Silva D. S. M. , Weerasinghe V. P. A. 
Published: September 2023

The global demand for plastic is increasing year by year due to its indispensable uses and excellent properties. Plastic wastes persist for many years due to their slow deterioration and cause severe environmental problems. Therefore, there is a growing focus worldwide on plastic waste disposal methods to overcome adverse environmental impacts. As plastics are petroleum-based materials, the pyrolysis of plastics to fuel oil, gases, and char, has more concern than the other plastic waste management methods of recycling and landfilling. A yield of 70-80 wt.% of liquid fuel from pyrolysis waste has been reported elsewhere, emerging the importance and aptness of this method in plastic waste management. The common reactor types for the pyrolysis process are batch reactor, semi-batch reactor, spouted bed reactor, and fluidized bed reactor. The common catalysts employed in plastic pyrolysis were zeolites, including ZSM-5, HUSY, Zeolite X, and Y. The pore structure and the catalyst’s acidity are the most influencing parameters in increasing the liquid yield and the quality of the oil produced in the pyrolysis process. This paper reviews the existing literature on pyrolysis processes developed for HDPE and LDPE wastes globally and their governing factors. Furthermore, emissions in the pyrolysis process and engine combustion of the fuel oil, performance, and emission characteristics were discussed. Although plastic waste separation prior to its management is a challenging process, this review highlights the conversion of waste plastic into energy as a smart way to meet the rising demands.
Antivenoms for local effects of snake envenoming&nbsp;

Published: September 2023

Snake envenoming is a significant public health issue that disproportionately affects the poorest communities in the tropical regions. There is a spectrum of local effects following snakebite, including pain, swelling, bluish discolouration, haemorrhagic blistering, local tissue necrosis and gangrene at the bite site. In severe local envenomings, significant tissue loss and impaired function can occur and may result in permanent disability in snakebite survivors. Although the mainstay of hospital treatment for snake envenoming is antivenom, its effectiveness for local effects remains contentious. The preclinical efficacy of antivenoms against the local effects of envenoming is examined with a range of in-vivo and in-vitro tests. Most of these tests are only capable of examining the ability of the antivenom to prevent, rather than reverse, the local effect. A limitation of the above tests is that they do not consider venom pharmacokinetics or the time course of irreversible effects in envenomed humans. Therefore, more clinically relevant experimental models of antivenom efficacy are required. We searched MEDLINE for studies on the local effects of snakebite. The current clinical literature on the effectiveness of antivenom for local effects appears to be limited. We identified only two randomised trials that compared antivenom with placebo and six randomised trials that tested the effectiveness of one antivenom or one dosage regimen of an antivenom compared to another antivenom or different dosage of antivenom for preventing or reversing the local effects. All these studies were on viperine envenomings. In addition, several studies without a control/comparative group have commented on antivenom effectiveness, although they invariably have significant bias. The existing studies had contrasting conclusions, including no effect of antivenom, antivenom halting the progression of local effects, early antivenom preventing the occurrence of severe local effects including necrosis, early antivenom leading to faster functional improvement, antivenom accelerating the resolution of local effects, or no conclusion. Future research needs to focus on well-designed studies investigating whether the early administration of antivenom will prevent severe local effects.
Socio-demographic profile and clinical co-morbidities of cannabis users attending a tertiary care hospital in India: A retrospective case record study
Authors: Jha Soumya , Jha Rupa , Fernandes Wenona , Srivastava Ashish 
Published: September 2023

ABSTRACT

Context:
Cannabis use has been the most commonly used illicit psychoactive substance in India. Increasing use of cannabis has been associated with an increased risk of co-morbid psychotic spectrum disorders with worse outcomes. This risk increases with increased use in a dose-dependent manner. A very complex association exists between cannabis use and mental illness hence it is essential to understand the relationship between the two to facilitate better care and management.

Aim:
The present study was conducted to assess the socio-demographic profile and psychiatric co-morbidities of cannabis users attending a tertiary mental health establishment in Goa.

Materials and Methods:
A retrospective case record study was carried out among self-reported cannabis users attending services at a tertiary mental health establishment from June 2021 to June 2022. Data regarding cannabis use, clinical profile, and socio-demographic profile of the individuals was obtained and analyzed using appropriate statistical tests.

Results:
One hundred and sixty-four cannabis users were evaluated which consisted of 140 males and 24 females, the mean age being 28 years with a standard deviation of 7.68. Ganja was the most commonly used form smoked as joints. The median age of initiation was 18 with females starting at a later age than males. Later initiation was associated with using lower quantities. Concurrent alcohol and nicotine use was present in 90% of the cases. The most commonly associated diagnosis was substance-induced psychosis.

Conclusions:
Cannabis use in individuals with mental illness is more common in males and an early age of initiation was linked to earlier age of onset of psychiatric illness.
Acute and transient psychotic disorders: A review of Indian research
Authors: Grover Sandeep , Kathiravan Sanjana 
Published: September 2023

ABSTRACT

Background:
Acute and transient psychotic disorder (ATPD) was recognized as separate from other psychotic disorders and described in the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) tenth revision for the first time. A lot of research on ATPD has been conducted in India over the last six decades, but a review focusing exclusively on Indian research on ATPD is not available.

Aim:
This paper aims to review the literature on ATPD emerging from India.

Methodology:
A combination of search terms “Acute and Transient Psychosis,” “acute psychosis,” “non-affective psychosis,” “non-affective psychotic disorder,” “reactive psychosis,” “first-episode psychosis,” and “India” were searched on various search engines like PUBMED, Medknow, Hinari, and Google Scholar. We also did a hand search for additional relevant articles, including published abstracts of the Indian Journal of Psychiatry from 2007 to 2023. Relevant papers were selected.

Results:
The prevalence of ATPD varies across different study settings, and it tends to have an abrupt to acute onset, and is primarily associated with stress. Few studies have assessed the subtypes of ATPD, and symptom profile has been inconsistently reported. There is a lack of trials on the effectiveness or efficacy of antipsychotics in ATPD patients. In a large proportion of patients initially diagnosed with ATPD, the diagnosis remains stable, with recurrence varying from 10% to 46.6% based on the duration of follow-up.

Conclusion:
There is a need for more multicentric studies, studies with larger sample sizes, and consistency in data about risk factors. There is a need to evaluate symptom profile, course, outcome, and treatment outcomes in patients with ATPD using validated instruments to improve our understanding. Further, there is a need for comparative studies to evaluate the risk factors for ATPD.
Toward a national policy on Alcohol: A complex public health issue in need of urgent action
Authors: Parmar Arpit , Balhara Yatan Pal Singh , Singh Amit 
Published: September 2023

ABSTRACT
Alcohol use is a major public health issue. It is also associated with a range of family, social, and economic problems. This led multiple countries worldwide to adopt national policies for alcohol regulation. Over the years, alcohol use and related problems have increased in India. The existing regulatory framework on alcohol varies greatly across states in terms of government sanctions, pricing, and legal drinking age, resulting in variations in its availability and prevalence of alcohol use disorder and related harms. Despite alcohol use being mentioned in several national policies and plans, a comprehensive national policy addressing alcohol is lacking. In this manuscript, the need for a dedicated national alcohol policy is underscored, emphasizing its potential to mobilize resources, prioritize interventions, and guide various stakeholders. The timely implementation of such a policy is crucial to address the multifaceted challenge of alcohol use effectively.
Prevalence and correlates of loneliness in the later life—insights from Longitudinal Ageing Study in India (LASI) Wave-1
Authors: Srivastava Priya , Srivastava Manushi 
Published: September 2023

ABSTRACT

Context:
Loneliness is a psychosocial problem that can affect anyone at any age in any circumstances, but it has become a serious issue of concern among the elderly.

Aim:
The present study aims to examine the overall and state and union-territories-wise prevalence of loneliness among India’s elderly population and exploring the correlates of loneliness in old age.

Method:
The study is based on secondary data from Longitudinal Ageing Study in India (LASI) Wave-1 (2017-2018) data collected from a total of 30,394 older adults aged 60 and above excluding missing responses. Frequent loneliness was measured using a single question asking how often you feel alone.

Statistical Analysis Used:
Descriptive statistics, the Chi-square test, and bivariate logistic regression were used to meet the objectives. The statistical significance was set at <0.05.

Results:
13.4% of elderly reported frequent loneliness. The prevalence of loneliness among elderly was found to be maximum in Andaman and Nicobar Island and minimum in Tripura. Age, current marital status, region, religion, MPCE quintile, number of chronic conditions, number of Activities of Daily Living (ADL), and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) difficulties, involvement in physical activity, involvement in yoga/meditation, number of social networks, participation in social activities, and involvement in leisure activities like reading books, watching TV, or using computer were found to be significantly associated with loneliness.

Conclusion:
Not being in a marital union, having more than two chronic conditions, more than two ADL and IADL difficulties, being physically inactive, non-involvement in Yoga/Meditation, and small social network are associated with higher loneliness.
A comparative assessment of antibacterial properties of neem oil coated sutures: An in vitro study
Authors: Kaur Bhavneet , Sekhar Vidya , Sharma Prashansa , Malhotra Sumit , Jain Anshi 
Published: September 2023

Background:
When it comes to surgical site infection (SSI), it has been shown that two-thirds of wound infections starts around the incision line and the number is even greater in the presence of sutures. Therefore, a number of compounds have been used to coat the suture materials which tend to decrease the SSI some of which include ciprofloxacin, Aloe vera, and chlorhexidine.

Objective:
The objective of this study was to assess the antibacterial properties of neem oil-coated sutures in anaerobic culture media when compared to triclosan-coated sutures and uncoated sutures.

Materials and Methods:
The phosphate-buffered saline solution containing the plaque samples of the patients was transferred evenly onto the sterile agar media. Equal segments of 100% neem oil coated (Group 1), 50% neem oil coated (Group 2), triclosan-coated (Group 3), and uncoated (Group 4) sutures were placed on the agar plate. These were then incubated at 37°C for 24 h. The inhibition zone was calculated in mm by measuring of the zone of inhibition (ZOI) in terms of length, breadth, and area.

Results:
The results were calculated following the incubation. The mean length for 100% neem oil-coated suture was 2.61 mm ± 0.2 and for 50% neem oil-coated suture was 2.49 mm ± 0.24. The mean breadth for 100% neem oil-coated suture was 1.5 mm ± 0.41 and for 50% neem oil-coated suture the mean was 0.95 mm ± 0.58. The mean area for 100% neem oil-coated suture was 77 mm ± 32.9 and for 50% neem oil-coated suture was 16.8 mm ± 11.14. Triclosan and uncoated sutures did not show any ZOI.

Conclusion:
The 100% neem oil-coated sutures had the largest length, breadth, and area of ZOI in the anaerobic culture media, followed by 50% neem oil-coated sutures. Triclosan-coated and uncoated sutures did not show any ZOI. Therefore, neem oil-coated suture can be used in the overall healing and prevention of postoperative discomfort after oral surgical procedures.

Published: September 2023

Background:
There is a bidirectional link between diabetes and periodontal disease. Control of active periodontal infection is an essential requisite to maintain optimal oral and systemic health in diabetic patients. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of subgingival irrigation and powered toothbrush as home care maintenance protocol in type 2 diabetic patients with active periodontal disease compared to routine oral hygiene.

Materials and Methods:
Forty (n = 40) diabetic (HbA1c >7%) patients were enrolled in this parallel, examiner-blind, interventional clinical trial. Patients were randomized into two groups: Group A (sonic toothbrush and irrigation with water twice daily) or Group B (manual toothbrush and mouth rinsing with 0.12% Chlorhexidine gluconate (CHX) twice daily)). All patients received Phase I therapybefore the start of the study. Clinical parameters (plaque index [PI], gingival index [GI], oral hygiene index [OHI], pocket depth [PD], clinical attachment level [CAL], and bleeding index [BI]) were assessed at baseline, 1, 2, and 4 months. Levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), HbA1c, and interleukin (IL)-1 β were assessed at baseline and 4 months only. Verbal and written instructions were provided to each subject specific to their intervention allocation. Descriptive, parametric, and nonparametric analyses were used where appropriate.

Results:
Sixteen (n = 16) patients in Group A and fifteen (n = 15) patients in Group B completed the 4-month study. Both groups showed a significant difference in BI, PD, CAL, and HbA1c from baseline to 4 months. There were no differences within groups for OHI, GI, or PI and CRP, IL-1 β. The results are based on an underpowered study due to the drop out of 9 patients reducing the number below the needed 19 patients per group based on the power analysis.

Conclusion:
Results from this study provide information for future studies on self-care regimens for individuals living with Type 2 diabetes.
