Low-resistivity, high-resolution W-C electrical contacts fabricated by direct-write focused electron beam induced deposition
Authors: Orús Pablo , Sigloch Fabian , Sangiao Soraya , De Teresa José María 
Published: August 2022

Background: The use of a focused ion beam to decompose a precursor gas and produce a metallic deposit is a widespread nanolithographic technique named focused ion beam induced deposition (FIBID). However, such an approach is unsuitable if the sample under study is sensitive to the somewhat aggressive exposure to the ion beam, which induces the effects of surface amorphization, local milling, and ion implantation, among others. An alternative strategy is that of focused electron beam induced deposition (FEBID), which makes use of a focused electron beam instead, and in general yields deposits with much lower metallic content than their FIBID counterparts. Methods: In this work, we optimize the deposition of tungsten-carbon (W-C) nanowires by FEBID to be used as electrical contacts by assessing the impact of the deposition parameters during growth, evaluating their chemical composition, and investigating their electrical response. Results: Under the optimized irradiation conditions, the samples exhibit a metallic content high enough for them to be utilized for this purpose, showing a room-temperature resistivity of 550 μΩ cm and maintaining their conducting properties down to 2 K. The lateral resolution of such FEBID W-C metallic nanowires is 45 nm. Conclusions: The presented optimized procedure may prove a valuable tool for the fabrication of contacts on samples where the FIBID approach is not advised

Authors: Szwed Jakub , Szwed Monika , Szwed Weronika , Miga Nadia 
Published: August 2022

Introduction and purpose
Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) prevents the release of acetylcholine into the synaptic cleft of the neuromuscular junction, which causes flaccid muscle paralysis. A non-obvious specialization that uses botulinum toxin is urology. The aim of this article is to present a literature review regarding the use of botulinum toxin in the treatment of urological diseases.
Description of the state of knowledge
In the overactive bladder syndrome, with resistance to oral medications, an alternative is botox injections into the bladder wall, which reduce the intensity of urgency and pollakiuria.
Treatment of BPH with botulinum toxin injection may be an alternative to surgical and pharmacological treatment. Intra-articular botox injection causes smooth muscle relaxation and gland atrophy through prostate tissue apoptosis.
Clinical studies show promising therapeutic effects of using Botox injections in the treatment of intramural cystitis. It reduces the feeling of bladder pain and the worsening of other symptoms.
Panunzio et al. Presented a meta-analysis of prospective studies that showed a statistically significant improvement in pain perception after injection of botulinum toxin into the pelvic structures, compared with baseline values ​​for CPPS, in all cohorts evaluated.
Summary
Urology uses the entire spectrum of botox possibilities, from myocrelation in the bladder hyperresponsiveness syndrome, through neuromodulation and apoptosis induction in benign prostatic hyperplasia, ending with anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties in bladder pain syndrome and chronic pelvic pain syndrome.

A MOLÉSTIA PERMANENTE: O CONSERVADORISMO NO CONGRESSO NACIONAL COMO OBSTÁCULO NA PROTEÇÃO DE MULHERES VÍTIMAS DE VIOLÊNCIA DE GÊNERO DURANTE A PANDEMIA DE COVID-19
Authors: Soares Caroline Silva , Souza Juliana Ferreira Ribeiro de 
Published: August 2022

O presente artigo pretende analisar a atuação do Congresso Nacional diante do aumento da violência de gênero no âmbito doméstico durante a pandemia de COVID-19, no que tange aos obstáculos conservadores criados nas tentativas de garantir a proteção das mulheres vítimas de violência por meio do instrumento legal. Verificou-se que utilizando de notícias falsas e discursos puramente moralistas religiosos, parlamentares, em maioria da Frente Evangélica Parlamentar, criaram entraves para aprovação e votação de projetos de lei protetivos. Para isso, utilizou-se o levantamento bibliográfico, estudo de documentos legislativos e análise de dados, com o objetivo de evidenciar a grande capacidade de indução de voto e criação de obstáculos, fundamentados na moral religiosa, mesmo diante do contexto de ameaça à vida. Palavras-chave: COVID-19; violência de gênero; conservadorismo.

Background
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative impact on the mental health of people globally. Significant concerns about health and access to services among women of reproductive age considering pregnancy may cause psychological distress, and in turn increase health risks during and after pregnancy for mothers and offspring.

Objectives
To examine the association between pregnancy intention and psychological distress during the COVID-19 pandemic in Australia, and explore if this association differed based on local viral transmission rates and corresponding levels of pandemic restrictions.

Methods
A nationwide online survey was completed by 849 non-pregnant women aged 18–50 years between 15 October and 7 November 2020. Women were asked about their intention to become pregnant, and psychological distress was assessed using the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10). Multivariable regression analysis examined associations between pregnancy intention and psychological distress. An interaction term was added to the model to examine differences in associations by level of viral transmission rates and lockdown restrictions which was determined based on postcode.

Results
Pregnancy intention was not associated with experiencing (very) high psychological distress in the overall study population (odds ratio (OR) 1.42, 95% CI 0.94, 2.11). The interaction term (p = 0.09) suggested potential differences by level of restrictions and viral transmission rates. In stratified analysis among women living in a location with strict lockdown restrictions and high viral transmission rates leading up to and during the study, those planning to become pregnant were more likely to experience (very) high psychological distress (OR 3.39, 2.04, 5.65) compared with women not planning to become pregnant. Pregnancy intention was not associated with psychological distress among women exposed to lower levels of pandemic restrictions and viral transmission rates (OR 1.17, 0.74, 1.85).

Conclusions
Our findings highlight the need to identify and support women planning pregnancy during a public health crisis to mitigate potential short- and long-term intergenerational negative health outcomes associated with psychological distress.

Published: August 2022

IntroductionPublic health responses were triggered while COVID-19 was spreading. China redeployed healthcare workers to serve the most vulnerable populations and communities in the initial epicentre—Wuhan. However, it is not known how redeployment processes impacted on healthcare workers in a pandemic crisis.AimsTo explore the experiences and needs of frontline healthcare workers who were redeployed to care for COVID-19 patients in Wuhan, China, and understand the long-term impacts of the redeployment experience on their work and life.MethodsA qualitative study was conducted with redeployed healthcare workers using semi-structured interviews and thematic analysis. This study is reported in accordance with the consolidated criteria for reporting qualitative research (COREQ) guidelines.FindingsA total of 20 redeployed healthcare workers (13 nurses and seven physicians) participated, and four themes were generated: (1) Initial feelings and emotions of redeployment—Participants experienced worries and concerns, a sense of isolation and loneliness on their arrival to the epicentre. (2) ‘It is like a war zone’—Healthcare workers faced a range of risks and challenges of caring for COVID-19 patients in Wuhan in the context of resource strain. (3) Uncertainty and coping strategies in patient care—Despite the hardships experienced, participants continued to deliver high-quality patient care including psychological care and palliative care, good communication and building mutual trusting relationships. (4) Reflection and far-reaching impacts of caring for COVID-19 patients—Participants felt motivated and encouraged as efforts were recognised by the government and wider society.ConclusionsRedeployed healthcare workers shared their unique needs and experiences of coping with redeployment and challenges they faced in the context of resource strain, which has significant implications for policy and future practice. The reality of a pandemic may reduce healthcare workers’ willingness to work due to various reasons including inadequate preparedness of facilities and workplace safety. It is important to support frontline healthcare workers in order to maintain an adequate healthcare workforce in pandemic crises. Continuously evolving pandemic circumstances and uncertainty highlight the importance of an organized national pandemic response plan for subsequent waves of COVID-19 and future pandemics.

Published: August 2022

Campylobacter jejuni and C. coli are contaminants of broiler skin, and in unauthorized numbers cause campylobacteriosis in consumers where symptoms range from gastrointestinal to life-threatening. The number of chicken bacteria and their genetic diversity depend on the growing conditions, and the presence of antibiotic resistance genes is the result of irrational use of antibiotics. The purpose of this paper is to point out the importance of reducing the contamination of Campylobacter spp. in broiler production as well as the importance of the rational use of antibiotics in the production of broilers with a contribution to the prevention of the spread of campylobacteriosis and antibiotic resistance. The incidence of campylobacteriosis can be prevented by the concept of Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) in broiler production and the use of probiotics as biological preservatives in broiler meat. The spread of antibiotic resistance genes can be reduced by prohibition of antibiotic use for prophylaxis and only permitted for medication.

Published: August 2022

Abstract
Day-to-day lives are affected globally by the epidemic coronavirus 2019. With an increasing number of positive cases, India has now become a highly affected country. Chronic diseases affect individuals with no time identification and impose a huge disease burden on society. In this article, an Efficient Recurrent Neural Network with Ensemble Classifier (ERNN-EC) is built using VGG-16 and Alexnet with weighted model to predict disease and its level. The dataset is partitioned randomly into small subsets by utilizing mean-based splitting method. Various models of classifier create a homogeneous ensemble by utilizing an accuracy-based weighted aging classifier ensemble, which is a weighted model’s modification. Two state of art methods such as Graph Sequence Recurrent Neural Network and Hybrid Rough-Block-Based Neural Network are used for comparison with respect to some parameters such as accuracy, precision, recall, f1-score, and relative absolute error (RAE). As a result, it is found that the proposed ERNN-EC method accomplishes accuracy of 95.2%, precision of 91%, recall of 85%, F1-score of 83.4%, and RAE of 41.6%.

Authors: Gautier S. V. , Khomyakov S. M. 
Published: August 2022

Objective: to monitor the current trends and developments in organ donation and transplantation in the Russian Federation based on data from the year 2021. Materials and methods. Heads of organ transplant centers were surveyed through questionnaires. Data control was done using the information accounting system of the Russian Ministry of Health. We performed a comparative analysis of data obtained over years from various federal subjects of the Russian Federation and transplantation centers. Results. Based on data retrieved from the 2021 Registry, 45 kidney, 29 liver and 17 heart transplantation programs were existing in the Russian Federation as of the year 2021. The kidney transplant waiting list in 2021 included about 10.5% of the 60,000 patients receiving dialysis. Organ donation activity in 2021 was 4.5 per million population, with a 78.4% multi-organ procurement rate and an average of 3.0 organs procured from one effective donor. In 2021, there were 9.5 kidney transplants per million population, 4.2 liver transplants per million population and 2.0 heart transplants per million population. Same year, the number of transplant surgeries performed in the Russian Federation increased by 18.3% compared to the year 2020, reaching the level of 2019. In Moscow, organ donation activity was 23.7 per million population, that of 2019. In 2021, the city of Moscow and the Moscow region accounted for 12 functioning organ transplant centers, performing 57.7% of all kidney transplants and 70.5% of all extrarenal transplants in the country. The number of organ recipients in the Russian Federation has exceeded 140 per million population. Conclusion. In 2021, donor activity and volume of transplant care in Russian regions recovered. This was after the decline in 2020 that resulted from the new coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. In addition, 7 new transplant programs were established. Further development of regional organ donation and transplantation programs, improvement in their efficiency, increase in the activity of transplant centers and development of inter-regional collaboration are expected in the Russian Federation in 2022.

New Vogel’s Approximation Method (NVAM) to Determine Better Feasible Solution of Transportation Problem
Authors: Maheswari V., V. Balaji Amulu Priya S., 
Published: August 2022

Nowadays, getting substantial results for problems in operations research is crucial. The transportation problem can be solved very effectively with Vogel's Approximation Method (VAM) and discover a workable solution that is closer to the ideal solution. The basic principle of VAM is to allocate as many resources as possible to the cell with the smallest cost in the column or row with the greatest penalty. This cell will receive the maximum number of resources. A problem arises when the magnitudes of the least cost and the next-least cost are identical. Then, we devised a new method called the "New Vogel's Approximation Method (NVAM)" to provide a workable solution to the transportation problem that may then be used to determine the optimal solution. Transporting capacity to the required location is done by three distinct companies. The supply chain's participants seek to move their goods from warehouse to distribution centre, from plant to warehouse, and from distribution centre to retail store. In this study, the VAM method and the NVAM approach are used to determine the optimal transportation cost. These techniques are examined to provide potential supply chain management techniques.

Published: August 2022

The combination of gabapentin and nortriptyline is used as the first line drug treatment for management of neuropathic pain; however adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are one of the main causes for discontinuation of the therapy. This is a case study of erythematous maculopapular rash induced by combination of gabapentin and nortriptyline along with its causality assessment. A 55-year-old female came with complaint of back pain for 1 month. She was diagnosed as a case of L1 acute osteoporotic disc compression fracture. The patient was then administered combination tablet of gabapentin and nortriptyline (100 mg/10 mg) orally for the neuropathic pain. After 3 days she developed erythematous maculopapular rash on face, upper limbs and back. Following this the drug was then discontinued and pheniramine, hydrocortisone and combination tablet of levocetirizine and montelukast was administered to treat the rashes. Causality assessment was done using the Naranjo scale and WHO UMC assessment scale. The ADRs was reported by VigiFlow in the pharmacovigilance centre. Causality assessment using Naranjo scale (Score 6) and WHO UMC scale indicates probable relationship. Hence, monitoring is essential for any ADRs while using combination of gabapentin and nortriptyline therapy. In case of ADRs, discontinue the therapy and report the adverse drug reactions to pharmacovigilance centre.
