Introduction:
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) report worse functional status and quality of life hence the association has important clinical implications. FMS can be challenging to treat, and the current evidence recommends a multidisciplinary treatment approach focused on symptom management.

Aim:
Information regarding the current prevalence of FMS in RA patients is lacking. Thus, this study aims to address the prevalence and predictors of FMS in seropositive RA patients and demonstrate our clinical practice in the management of FMS.

Methods:
Participants’ data was gathered from Aseer central hospital (ACH) rheumatology clinics and daycare units over a period of 2 years. Subjects were assessed using the 2010 American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria for FMS. Data were collected from medical records, including patient demographics, comorbidities and concomitant FMS-related data.

Results:
Out of 310 seropositive RA patients, 15% (n = 47) fulfilled the diagnostic criteria for FMS. Of them, 29, 11 and 7 were on pregabalin, amitriptyline and duloxetine, respectively. Half of FMS patients showed one or more therapy changes. A significant difference between RA patients with and without concomitant FMS was observed, including age, gender and comorbidities.

Conclusion:

In this retrospective study, a high prevalence of FMS in individuals with seropositive RA was identified. This study explores real-world practice in the treatment of FMS with remarkable findings regarding underdosing and lower discontinuation rate of pregabalin.

Authors: Ferede Abebe , Belachew Tefera , Abera Muluemebet 
Published: November 2022

Background:
Although, Behavioral Change Communication (BCC) on iron-rich dietary intake rather than iron supplementation trial among individual children is effective. This study aimed to assess the effect of BCC on hemoglobin concentration among the growth of children age 6 to 59 months.

Materials and Methods:
A clustered Randomized Control Trial (CRCT) from February 2017 to April 2019. “Kebeles” (small administration units) were randomly assigned to either the intervention or control clustered arm and sufficient buffer zone made between these clusters to avoid information contamination. Mothers (Care) givers and their index children were selected from each cluster using a simple random sampling technique. Blood samples for Hemoglobin (Hb) were collected from children before and after 15 months of BCC intervention to determine Hb concentration. Descriptive statistics and SPSS - Independent sample T-test and a Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) models were fitted to isolate independent predictors of hemoglobin concentration.

Results:
At baseline 1012 and end-line 815 mothers and their index children were participated in the study. The mean (±sd) Hbc level was 143g/L+1.6g/L and 148.34 +14.91g/L for the intervention and control groups had 130.73+14.92g/L. The difference of differences in the mean hemoglobin level was 7.69 for the intervention and 3.81 for the control (P=0.001). On the Generalized Estimating Equations analyses model after adjusting for the background variables the intervention group had increased Hbc by 9.93 mg/dl (β=9.93, P <0.05). Similarly, height for age Z-score was positively associated with Hbc mean level (β =7.151, P <0.05).

Conclusions:
The study demonstrated the positive effect of behavior change communication on hemoglobin concentration of children implying the need for the galvanizing efforts to disseminate nutrition behavior change communications to mothers and caregivers of the under five years old children to curb the increasing concern of anemia among these target group.

Authors: Rico-González Markel , Arcos Asier Los , Rojas-Valverde Daniel , Pino-Ortega José 
Published: November 2022

Background:
Local positioning systems have shown high accuracy for measuring the distance covered and the mean velocities and also for time-motion analysis. However, no study has assessed the accuracy and inter-unit agreement of local positioning system [LPS] technology to compute any collective tactical behavior variable.

Objective:
The main aim of the study was to analyze the accuracy of ultra-wideband and calculate inter-device agreement to compute the geometrical center coordinates (i.e., the relative positioning of each team represented in a single point computed considering x and y coordinates of the players).

Methods:
The inter-device geometrical center agreement of the devices when placed in the corners [static] of a basketball court was also assessed. The geometrical center (x, y coordinates) computed by a local positioning system tool, called an inertial measurement unit, was compared to the known geometrical center position in four different court areas: [1] 15x7 m, [2] 15x14 m [3] 15x21 m [4] 15x28 m. In each of the court areas, two different devices were placed on three tripods [60 cm from the floor] in three corners of the perimeter described. The distance of the device to the reference element was calculated every 0.5 s, providing a total of 600 samples. The absolute difference between the geometrical center measured on the ultra-wideband devices and the real geometrical center was less than 0-1.1%, with an absolute difference of 0 to 0.09 m in all the court areas.

Results:
The difference between the devices when the geometrical center was computed was from 0.14 to 1.36%, with an absolute difference of 0.02 to 0.09 m. The accuracy of the ultra-wide band and inter-device agreement for computing the geometrical center was high (absolute error < 10 cm).

Conclusion:
These findings may suggest future validation protocols of the ultra-wide band for the assessment of collective tactical variables in team sports under a real match or training conditions.

Published: November 2022

Aims and Scope:
The purpose of this study was to compare external and internal workload according to sex and match periods in youth basketball players during a congested-fixture tournament using an exploratory factor analysis method as a data reduction technique through Principal Component Analysis (PCA).

Methods:
Sixty-four youth basketball players (32 women and 32 men) participated in an official congested-fixture tournament of three consecutive matches. An ultra-wideband (UWB) indoor and inertial measurement unit (IMU) was used to quantify external and internal workload. PCA identified six to seven principal components that explained more than 60% and 70% of the variance for men and women, respectively. Significant differences between sexes in the external load variable as AccMax, DecMax, AccAvg, DecAvg, Acc2–4 /min, Dec2–4 /min, Sprint/min, SpeedMax, JumpsTotal, JumpsAvg, Takeoff3–5g /min, and Takeoff5–8g /min; and internal load variables as Player Load, Power Met, and Heart Rate bpm. TD/min, AccAvg /min, DecAvg /min, Acc2–4 /min, and Dec2–4 /min decreased significantly throughout the match.

Result:
The results indicated that acceleration and deceleration greater explained men locomotion while jumping actions had higher significance in women. Monitoring youth basketball competition is useful for understanding physical and physiological individual and collective demands.

Conclusion:
Statistical data reduction techniques are also sensitive to detect potential sex-related differences.
Risk Prediction of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) in Indian Families
Using Antioxidant Gene Variants
Authors: Banerjee Monisha , Kushwah Atar Singh , Vats Pushpank , Usman Kauser 
Published: November 2022

Background:
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a complex metabolic disease
that is caused by insulin dysfunction. It is an output of oxidative stress that results from defective
redox reactions and increased reactive metabolites (RMs) and is neutralized by antioxidant
enzymes. It has been reported that decreased levels of antioxidant enzymes are due
to genetic alterations in the respective genes. Therefore, the present study has undertaken a
genetic analysis of antioxidant genes and their interaction in the family to assess T2DM
risk.

Objective:
This study aimed to investigate the individual susceptibility/risk to T2DM using
antioxidant gene variants and their interactions in family members with a diabetic history.

Methods:
Genotypic analysis of antioxidant genes was done by polymerase chain reactionrestriction
fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP), haplotype analysis, and gene-gene
interactions using statistical tools. Pedigrees were constructed by face-to-face interviews
with members of nine families.

Results:
Genotypes AT (CAT-21A>T), IV (GSTP1+313(105I>V), and CT (GPx1
+599C>T) were found to be frequent in diabetic individuals. For instance, in one family, if
only the mother had diabetes, all siblings were found to have the risk genotypes AT (CAT-
21A>T) and CT (GPx1 +599C>T) with 2.12- and 2.11-folds risk of developing T2DM. The
risk haplotypes, NNV (GSTM1 N>P(Null>Present), GSTT1 N>P(Null>Present),
GSTP1105I>V and TCC (CAT-21A>T, SOD2+47C>T, GPx1+599C>T) were observed in
most of the diabetic individuals and non-diabetics possessing the risk haplotypes manifested
altered BMI.

Conclusion:
The present study suggests that the GSTP1105I>V, CAT-21A>T,
SOD2+47C>T and GPx1+599C>T gene variants can be prognostic biomarkers for the assessment
of T2DM risk in healthy individuals.
Punica granatum Peel Waste - An Underutilized Substrate of Therapeutic
Potential: An Overview
Authors: Noor Uroosa , Soni Shashi , Gupta Ena 
Published: November 2022

Abstract:
India is the second largest consumer and producer of fruits globally. It leads to ample
solid waste per year from fruit processing industries that have been proven hazardous to the surroundings.
Punica granatum (Pomegranate) belongs to the Lythraceae subfamily Punicoideae,
which exhibits immense nutritional properties and delicious flavoring components. The weight
of this fruit mainly consists of peel, i.e., 50%, followed by 40% of arils and 10% of seeds. Thus,
the major byproduct is peel that holds many valuable bioactive compounds in higher concentrations
viz saponins, carotenoids, steroids, polyphenols, quercetin derivatives, caffeic acid, phenolic
acids, flavonoids, ellagitannins, p-coumaric acid, chlorogenic acid, quinic acid, anthocyanidins,
triterpenoids, glycosides, tannins, and many more. Consequently, it results in wideranging
therapeutic applications, including antioxidative, anti-microbial, antihypertensive, anticarcinogenic,
anti-genotoxic, anti-inflammatory, glucoregulation, cardio-protective, hepatoprotective
and nephroprotective effects along with prebiotic potential. Considering their nutritional
and therapeutic aspects, these peels can be used for many purposes rather than being disposed
off. With a value-added approach, it is utilized in many food and non-food sectors. So, this
review aims to explore the therapeutic potential of P. granatum peel and enlighten its diverse applications
in the food industry.
Accuracy of Augmented Reality–Assisted Navigation in Dental Implant Surgery: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Authors: Mai Hang-Nga , Dam Van Viet , Lee Du-Hyeong 
Published: November 2022

Background
The novel concept of immersive 3D augmented reality (AR) surgical navigation has recently been introduced in the medical field. This method allows surgeons to directly focus on the surgical objective without having to look at a separate monitor. In the dental field, the recently developed AR-assisted dental implant navigation system (AR navigation), which uses innovative image technology to directly visualize and track a presurgical plan over an actual surgical site, has attracted great interest.

Objective
This study is the first systematic review and meta-analysis study that aimed to assess the accuracy of dental implants placed by AR navigation and compare it with that of the widely used implant placement methods, including the freehand method (FH), template-based static guidance (TG), and conventional navigation (CN).

Methods
Individual search strategies were used in PubMed (MEDLINE), Scopus, ScienceDirect, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar to search for articles published until March 21, 2022. This study was performed in accordance with the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines and registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) database. Peer-reviewed journal articles evaluating the positional deviations of dental implants placed using AR-assisted implant navigation systems were included. Cohen d statistical power analysis was used to investigate the effect size estimate and CIs of standardized mean differences (SMDs) between data sets.

Results
Among the 425 articles retrieved, 15 articles were considered eligible for narrative review, 8 articles were considered for single-arm meta-analysis, and 4 were included in a 2-arm meta-analysis. The mean lateral, global, depth, and angular deviations of the dental implant placed using AR navigation were 0.90 (95% CI 0.78-1.02) mm, 1.18 (95% CI 0.95-1.41) mm, 0.78 (95% CI 0.48-1.08) mm, and 3.96° (95% CI 3.45°-4.48°), respectively. The accuracy of AR navigation was significantly higher than that of the FH method (SMD=−1.01; 95% CI −1.47 to −0.55; P<.001) and CN method (SMD=−0.46; 95% CI −0.64 to −0.29; P<.001). However, the accuracies of the AR navigation and TG methods were similar (SMD=0.06; 95% CI −0.62 to 0.74; P=.73).

Conclusions
The positional deviations of AR-navigated implant placements were within the safety zone, suggesting clinically acceptable accuracy of the AR navigation method. Moreover, the accuracy of AR implant navigation was comparable with that of the highly recommended dental implant–guided surgery method, TG, and superior to that of the conventional FH and CN methods. This review highlights the possibility of using AR navigation as an effective and accurate immersive surgical guide for dental implant placement.

Effect of Partial Replacement of Soybean with Chickpea to the Nutritional and Textural Properties of Tofu
Authors: Panyoyai Naksit , Silsin Manisorn , Khongdan Jatuporn , Paramita Vilia Darma 
Published: November 2022

Abstract— Tofu is an oriental food that originated from China and later became a traditional cuisine in many South East Asia Countries, e.g. Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand. The tofu was made by coagulating soy milk with salt to form curds, which further compress to form a solid block. Tofu usually uses soybeans as the main ingredients; however, in this experiment, the soybeans were partially replaced with chickpeas to increase the amount of dietary fibre and reduce fat levels in the final products. The tofu was made of soybean and chickpea at a ratio of 100:0 (control), 90:10, 80:20 and, 70:30. The products were evaluated based on their nutritional contents (crude protein, crude fat, and crude fibre), and textural properties using Texture Profile Analysis. Some analytical parameters, such as pH, moisture content, and colour were also studied. Partial replacement of soybean with chickpea decreased overall crude protein and fat content, whereas increased crude fibre. The presence of chickpea in the blends, up to 30% (w/w), had affected the tofu curd's protein stability, lowered their pH, and moisture content. A denser tofu curd was obtained by adding more chickpea to the product. The 70:30 blend has the highest hardness value compared to the other formulations. This low soy content mixture, however, can not produce a cohesive and springy tofu gel. The CIELAB colour space of the soybean/chickpea tofu cubes records a trend of increase in redness and yellowness values for tofu with chickpea.
Allometric inter-relationships between jaw musculature mass, skull size and body mass in Psittaciformes
Authors: Harrison Shannon L. , Sutton Gregory P. , Deeming D. Charles 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Functional characteristics of the jaw apparatus, for example bite force, in vertebrates is a combination of the skeleton and the musculature. In birds, bite force has been measured directly or calculated using various methods including summation of forces generated by the different elements of the jaw musculature. However, there have been no reports of the relationships between body size with the mass of the different muscle groups in a closely related group of birds. This study explored allometry in the different jaw muscle masses from parrot (Psittaciformes) species differing in body mass by 40-fold. It was hypothesised that the different muscle masses would exhibit isometry with body mass and skull size. Parrot heads were dissected and the masses of the individual muscle complexes were recorded. Data were subjected to phylogenetically-controlled regression analysis to document scaling effects with body mass and skull size. Most, but not all muscles, exhibited positive allometry with body mass but most were isometric with skull size. Consequently, as parrots get bigger, their skulls get proportionally longer, but that the muscles within the head isometrically scaled relative to the size of these proportionally larger skulls. The large muscles imply greater bite forces in parrots than have been reported to date, which seems to be associated with an increase in skull size to accommodate more muscles. It is unknown whether this pattern is applicable to other birds within specific orders or even across birds as a whole. There needs to be further investigation into the allometry of the morphological and functional properties of the avian jaw musculature.
The population dynamics of the Red-footed Falcon (Falco vespertinus) on the southwestern limit of its breeding range
Authors: Purger Jenő J. , Lukács Sándor 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
The western boundary of the Palearctic range of the Red-footed Falcon (Falco vespertinus) is located in the Carpathian Basin, with significant breeding areas in the northern part of Serbia, Voivodina Province. The size of the breeding population has been estimated and surveyed several times since the middle of the last century. The number of breeding pairs showed considerable variation, while estimates suggested a declining trend in the population size, though the dynamics of the Red-footed Falcon population was less known. This motivated us to perform censuses every year from 2000 until 2009. During that period, the number of confirmed breeding pairs varied from 61 to 179. We found that the number of breeding pairs decreased significantly (˃ 40%) after a 3-4 year of increase. The number of breeding sites and the extent of the distribution area changed in proportion to the increase or decrease of the population size. However, the change in population size was unrelated to the general proportion of pairs breeding in colonies (87–96%) and those breeding solitarily (4–13%).
Spectrum of animal and plant in the diet of Woodcock (Scolopax rusticola L.) based on literature data
Authors: Bende Attila , László Richárd 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Based on the results of dietary surveys of the Woodcock (Scolopax rusticola L.) in 11 countries (Great Britain, Scotland, France, Italy, Croatia, Germany, Hungary, Poland, Ukraine, Russia, and Romania), 63 taxa (42 animal and 21 plant) were detected in Woodcock gizzard contents, of which the predominant dietary components were of animal origin. The composition of the dietary components varies only within a narrow spectrum, adapting to seasonal changes in the insect fauna and the supply of the area. Earthworms (Lumbricus spp.) represent the dominant proportion, also with larvae of Dermaptera, Myriapoda, Coleoptera taxa, and Diplopoda and Araneidae species being present in significant numbers. The mass fraction of plant components (mainly weed seeds) is low, with occasional occurrence of vegetative plant parts. The narrow species range of animal taxa recorded and the low proportion of plant dietary components clearly indicate that the Woodcock is a specialist species, and the availability of a few major dietary component taxa groups are a limiting factor in case of the Woodcock. Therefore, it is a major determinant of the diurnal, seasonal and annual movement patterns.
