In-hospital mortality of acute HIV-associated pulmonary morbidity among COVID-19 negative medical admissions to Dr. George Mukhari Academic Hospital
Authors: Seema Lehlonono , Mpe Matlawene John 
Published: June 2023

Objectives:
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-related complications remain a frequent cause of hospital admissions. Pulmonary complications are among the most frequent causes of morbidity and mortality in HIV-infected individuals. We aimed to describe the in-hospital mortality of medical admissions with an acute HIV-associated pulmonary pathology.

Materials and Methods:
This was an observational study undertaken at a tertiary care center over 12 months. Variables of interest were as follow: Diagnoses, diagnostic work-up, treatment, mortality rate, and impact of comorbidities and HIV-associated factors on mortality.

Results:
Two-hundred and seventy-two patients were studied. The mean age was 42.0 ± 10.8 years. Males constituted 62.4% of the cases. One hundred and thirty patients (47.8%) were anti-retroviral therapy (ART) naive. The median CD4 count was 76 cells/mm3. The most frequent pulmonary diagnosis was community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) (212; 78%). Gram-negative pathogens were isolated in the majority of patients admitted with infectious complications. Pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) was confirmed in only 27 (0.9%) of the cases. Significantly more female patients were on ART compared to males (P = 0.0436). Survival rates were not significantly different between the two genders (P = 0.1670). Overall, in-hospital mortality was 25.7%. CD4 counts and comorbidities were not predictive of mortality.

Conclusion:
HIV-associated acute pulmonary disease is associated with significant mortality. A large number of patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage of HIV. Programs that encourage voluntary testing and treatment are likely to reduce the high number of late presentations and reduce the poor outcomes. Adherence to the South African thoracic society guideline recommended evaluation for PTB in HIV-infected patients diagnosed with CAP cannot be over-emphasized.

Published: June 2023

ABSTRACT
Within the contiguous USA, Florida is unique in having tropical and subtropical climates, a great abundance and diversity of mosquito vectors, and high rates of human travel. These factors contribute to the state being the national ground zero for exotic mosquito-borne diseases, as evidenced by local transmission of viruses spread by Aedes aegypti, including outbreaks of dengue in 2022 and Zika in 2016. Because of limited treatment options, integrated vector management is a key part of mitigating these arboviruses. Practical knowledge of when and where mosquito populations of interest exist is critical for surveillance and control efforts, and habitat predictions at various geographic scales typically rely on ecological niche modeling. However, most of these models, usually created in partnership with academic institutions, demand resources that otherwise may be too time-demanding or difficult for mosquito control programs to replicate and use effectively. Such resources may include intensive computational requirements, high spatiotemporal resolutions of data not regularly available, and/or expert knowledge of statistical analysis. Therefore, our study aims to partner with mosquito control agencies in generating operationally useful mosquito abundance models. Given the increasing threat of mosquito-borne disease transmission in Florida, our analytic approach targets recent Ae. aegypti abundance in the Tampa Bay area. We investigate explanatory variables that: 1) are publicly available, 2) require little to no preprocessing for use, and 3) are known factors associated with Ae. aegypti ecology. Out of our 4 final models, none required more than 5 out of the 36 predictors assessed (13.9%). Similar to previous literature, the strongest predictors were consistently 3- and 4-wk temperature and precipitation lags, followed closely by 1 of 2 environmental predictors: land use/land cover or normalized difference vegetation index. Surprisingly, 3 of our 4 final models included one or more socioeconomic or demographic predictors. In general, larger sample sizes of trap collections and/or citizen science observations should result in greater confidence in model predictions and validation. However, given disparities in trap collections across jurisdictions, individual county models rather than a multicounty conglomerate model would likely yield stronger model fits. Ultimately, we hope that the results of our assessment will enable more accurate and precise mosquito surveillance and control of Ae. aegypti in Florida and beyond.

ABSTRACT
Rhipicephalus microplus is the most important tick in veterinary medicine, given its repercussions on animal production. The principal strategy to avoid adverse effects associated with R. microplus is the chemical control of tick populations through organosynthetic acaricides. Therefore, monitoring susceptibility to acaricides is paramount in any control program. This study aimed to analyze the resistance status of 2 populations of R. microplus from northeastern Mexico to the organochlorine (OC) lindane, organophosphates (OP) coumaphos, chlorfenvinphos, diazinon, and chlorpyrifos, and the synthetic pyrethroids (SPs) flumethrin, deltamethrin, and cypermethrin. Discriminating doses (DD) of each acaricide were used in the larval packet bioassay (LPT). Additionally, the presence of the knockdown resistance (kdr) mutation T2134A associated with pyrethroid resistance was evaluated using allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The populations of R. microplus showed a high frequency of resistance to SP, with mortality rates of less than 5%; they also showed resistance to the OPs (diazinon and chlorpyrifos) with mortality rates ranging from 1.29% to 34.62%; meanwhile, they were susceptible to coumaphos and chlorfenvinphos. Mortality rates higher than 66% were observed for lindane, indicating susceptibility. The mutant allele of the kdr mutation T2134A was detected in 75% and 100% of the pools analyzed. The populations studied presented a highly resistant profile to pyrethroids, with the presence of the kdr mutant allele A2134. The susceptibility to the organophosphates such as coumaphos and chlorfenvinphos of R. microplus from northeastern Mexico should be noted.

Published: June 2023

This study investigates the improvement of Iraqi atmospheric gas oil characteristics which contains 1.402 wt. % sulfur content and 16.88 wt. % aromatic content supplied from Al-Dura Refinery by using hydrodesulfurization (HDS) process using Ti-Ni-Mo/γ-Al2O3 prepared catalyst in order to achieve low sulfur and aromatic saturation gas oil. Hydrodearomatization (HDA) occurs simultaneously with hydrodesulfurization (HDS) process. The effect of titanium on the conventional catalyst Ni-Mo/γ-Al2O3 was investigated by physical adsorption and catalytic activity test.Ti-Ni-Mo/γ-Al2O3 catalyst was prepared under vacuum impregnation condition to ensure efficient precipitation of metals within the carrier γ-Al2O3. The loading percentage of metals as oxide; titanium oxide 3 wt. %, nickel oxide 5 wt. % and molybdenum oxide 12 wt. %. The performance of the synthesized catalyst for removing sulfur and aromatic saturation were tested at various temperatures 275 to 350°C, LHSV 1 to 4h-1, constant pressure 40 bar and H2/HC ratio 500 ml/ml.Results showed that the sulfur and aromatic content were reduced at all operating conditions. Maximum sulfur removal was 75.52 wt. % in gas oil on Ti-Ni-Mo/γ-Al2O3 at temperature 350˚C, LHSV 1h-1, while minimum aromatic content achieved was 15.6 wt. % at the same conditions.

Published: June 2023

This review paper aims to provide a comprehensive assessment of chemically enhanced primary treatment (CEPT) processes in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). The outdated and ineffective performance of existing treatment plants has raised concerns regarding public health and environmental safety. CEPT has emerged as a promising alternative approach to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of primary treatment. By adding chemical coagulants or precipitants to the wastewater, CEPT facilitates the aggregation and settling of suspended solids and contaminants, leading to improved treatment outcomes. This review evaluates the performance and effectiveness of different chemical coagulants, including ferric chloride (FeCl3), polyaluminum chloride (PACl), and alum, in terms of their ability to remove various pollutants such as suspended solids, turbidity, organic matter, nutrients, and emerging contaminants.
The findings from the reviewed studies indicate that different coagulants exhibit varying efficiencies in removing specific parameters such as turbidity, total suspended solids (TSS), chemical oxygen demand (COD), and phosphorous. Alum, ferric chloride, and ferric sulfate showed effectiveness in tannery wastewater treatment, while PACl maximized the removal of macro pollutants. The use of organic carbon sources and sludge recycling demonstrated cost reductions and improved nutrient removal. CEPT was found to be effective in TSS and BOD removal, potentially allowing for compact treatment facilities and enhancing the capacity of biological treatment units. The utilization of recovered alum from water treatment sludge (WTS) in CEPT showed comparable efficiencies to fresh alum. The paper also identifies research gaps and future directions in the field of chemically enhanced primary treatment, while discussing the challenges and limitations associated with CEPT processes. While the reviewed studies provide valuable insights into the performance of different coagulants and coagulant aids, further research is necessary to assess their long-term effects and cost-effectiveness in large-scale applications. The optimal choice of coagulant depends on specific wastewater characteristics and treatment goals. Understanding and optimizing CEPT processes will contribute to the development of innovative solutions for challenges in wastewater treatment systems caused by urbanization, population growth, and emerging contaminants in the major city like Kathmandu.

The Regional Spatial Plan (RTRW) is the basis on which the government carries out regional development. To ensure that development is carried out according to regulations, it is important to ensure compatibility between land use and the RTRW Map. Land problems arose in Beringin Jaya Village, Riau Province, due to the expansion of plantation land that penetrated into forest areas. This study aims to evaluate the extent to which the RTRW Map issued by the Provincial Government of Riau corresponds to the actual field conditions. The results showed that the level of suitability between land use and the RTRW Map was 67.78% suitable, 30.42% not suitable, and 1.48% supported. Furthermore, a suitability analysis between land parcels that have SHAT and the RTRW is carried out through overlay using parcel data downloaded with the RTRW Map. From the results of the Land Use Map overlay, it was revealed that 29% of the total area was determined according to the spatial plan, while 49% of the 45 sampled plots of land were located outside the forest area. . Thus, the local regional government needs to work together with relevant agencies in formulating appropriate, effective and efficient policies so that problems related to spatial planning can be resolved and then the Governor needs to submit a request to the Ministry of Environment and Forestry to form an Integrated Team.

Rencana Tata Ruang Wilayah (RTRW) merupakan dasar bagi pemerintah dalam melaksanakan pembangunan daerah. Untuk memastikan bahwa pembangunan dilakukan sesuai dengan peraturan, penting untuk memastikan kesesuaian antara penggunaan lahan dengan Peta RTRW. Permasalahan pertanahan muncul di Desa Beringin Jaya, Provinsi Riau, karena perluasan lahan perkebunan yang merambah ke kawasan hutan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi sejauh mana Peta RTRW yang diterbitkan oleh Pemerintah Provinsi Riau sesuai dengan kondisi lapangan yang sebenarnya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan tingkat kesesuaian antara penggunaan lahan dan Peta RTRW sebesar 67,78% sesuai, 30,42% tidak sesuai, dan 1,48% mendukung. Selanjutnya, analisis kesesuaian antara bidang tanah yang memiliki SHAT dengan RTRW dilakukan melalui overlay menggunakan data persil yang diunduh dengan Peta RTRW. Dari hasil overlay Peta Penggunaan Lahan, terungkap bahwa 29% dari total luas wilayah yang ditetapkan sesuai dengan tata ruang, sementara 49% dari 45 sampel bidang tanah berada di luar kawasan hutan. Dengan demikian, pemerintah daerah setempat perlu bekerja sama dengan instansi terkait dalam merumuskan kebijakan yang sesuai, efektif, dan efisien sehingga permasalahan terkait penataan ruang dapat terselesaikan dan kemudian Gubernur perlu mengajukan permohonan kepada Kementerian LHK untuk dibentuk Tim Terpadu.
