ABSTRACT.
Infection of HIV is associated with an increased diabetes risk, which also increases tuberculosis risk. It is unknown if similar associations exist with gestational diabetes (GDM). We screened pregnant women living with and without HIV for GDM using oral glucose tolerance testing. In a subgroup of women with latent tuberculosis (positive interferon-gamma [IFN-γ] release assay), we used supernatants from tuberculosis antigen tubes to compare cytokine levels from women with and without GDM, matched by age and HIV status. Of 234 women, 21 (9%) had GDM, 13.9% living with HIV, and 6.5% without HIV (P = 0.06). Compared with women without GDM, women with GDM had lower median IFN-γ (19.1 versus 141.9 pg/mL, P = 0.03) and interleukin-2 (18.7 versus 249 pg/mL, P < 0.01). Our study suggests that HIV infection is associated with an increased risk of GDM, which is associated with decreased Mycobacterium tuberculosis immune responses. Gestational diabetes screening should be prioritized in tuberculosis-endemic countries, especially in women living with HIV.
Ocean alkalinity enhancement – avoiding runaway CaCO3 precipitation during quick and hydrated lime dissolution
Authors: Moras Charly A. , Bach Lennart T. , Cyronak Tyler , Joannes-Boyau Renaud , Schulz Kai G.

Abstract. Ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) is a method that can
remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and counteract ocean
acidification through the dissolution of alkaline minerals. Currently,
critical knowledge gaps exist regarding the dissolution of different
minerals suitable for OAE in natural seawater. Of particular importance is
to understand how much alkaline mineral can be dissolved before secondary
precipitation of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) occurs, since secondary
CaCO3 precipitation reduces the atmospheric CO2 uptake potential
of OAE. Using two types of mineral proposed for OAE, quick lime (CaO) and
hydrated lime (Ca(OH)2), we show that both (<63 µm of
diameter) dissolved in seawater within a few hours. No CaCO3
precipitation occurred at a saturation state (ΩA) of
∼5, but CaCO3 precipitation in the form of aragonite
occurred above an ΩA value of 7. This limit is lower than
expected for typical pseudo-homogeneous precipitation, i.e. in the presence
of colloids and organic matter. Secondary precipitation at low ΩA (∼ 7) was the result of heterogeneous precipitation
onto mineral surfaces, most likely onto the added CaO and Ca(OH)2
particles. Most importantly, runaway CaCO3 precipitation was observed,
a condition where significantly more total alkalinity (TA) was removed than
initially added. Such runaway precipitation could reduce the OAE CO2
uptake efficiency from ∼ 0.8 mol of CO2 per mole of
added TA down to 0.1 mol of CO2 per mole of TA. Runaway precipitation
appears to be avoidable by dilution below the critical ΩA
threshold of 5, ideally within hours of the mineral additions to minimise
initial CaCO3 precipitation. Finally, OAE simulations suggest that for
the same ΩA threshold, the amount of TA that can be added to
seawater would be more than 3 times higher at 5 ∘C than at 30 ∘C. The maximum TA addition could also be increased by
equilibrating the seawater to atmospheric CO2 levels (i.e. to a
pCO2 of ∼ 416 µatm) during addition. This would
allow for more TA to be added in seawater without inducing CaCO3
precipitation, using OAE at its CO2 removal potential.

effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in improvement of Tnf- Α, Hsp 70, Enos, Vegf, collagen 3, and Il 6 protein expression in wound healing
Authors: Susilo Imam , Devi Anita , Purwandhono Azham 
Published: August 2022

Wound healing is a progressive physiological process with overlapping stages. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy increases tissue oxygenation, thereby increasing tissue oxygenation and the formation of H2O2 as the second messenger of the phosphorylation of tumor necrosis factor α, NOS, VEGF, and nuclear factor β-kappa. This further study aims to determine whether hyperbaric oxygen therapy can increase collagen 3, HSP 70, IL6 expression and wound healing. This study is an animal study using "pre-test and post-test design of a randomized control group". Divided into 4 groups (HBO 2.4 ATA 3x30 minutes, 10 sessions HBO 2.4 ATA 3x30 minutes, control group without HBO), each group consisted of 7 groups with 28 male rats. Excision of the wound 1x1cm was performed. The distribution of the data was analyzed by SPSS. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy increased the expression of Collagen 3 (p=0.04), HSP 70 (p=0.03), IL 6 (p=0.02) and wound healing (p=0.002) with 5 sessions of HBO 2.4 ATA and 10 sessions of HBO 2.4 ATA increased Collage 3 (p=0.02), HSP 70 (p=0.04), L6 expression significantly (p=0.02) but did not significantly improve wound healing (p=0, 3) compared without HBO.

Published: August 2022

The idea of ​​using dental evidence in forensic investigations has aroused so much interest in the past that forensic odontology has even been suggested as one way to identify specific criminal cases. Forensic odontology plays an important role in situations where routine diagnostic procedures, such as finger printing and visual acuity, can be performed, in cases of decomposed, burnt or skeletal bodies. The lack of proper dental record and lack of the current practice of maintaining dental record, insufficient training in the field of dentistry for oral pathologist, lack of standard techniques, and lack of antemortem data are some serious problems faced in this field. This review articles deals with providing some solutions to the problems and assess the awareness regarding the dental record maintenance among dentists and create a national database for odontology.

Background and Objective: Contraception is widely used throughout the world, with 62% of reproductive-aged women. This trial was established to assess the effect of prolonged use of hormonal contraception (HC) on ovarian reserve. Methods: This retrospective randomized controlled trial was performed on 150 healthy females aged (20-35) years with normal menstrual history had at least one offspring after spontaneous pregnancy. Participants were subdivided into equal three groups: first group (study group): used the injectable progesterone for more than four years continuously, second group (study group): used combined oral contraceptive (COC) for more than four years continuously, control group: didn’t use HC (as intrauterine device, natural and non-users of any contraception). Results: Ovarian volume (OV) and antral follicle count (AFC) were significantly decreased in COC group than control group. There was a significant negative correlation between body mass index and OV was found. There was an insignificant correlation between age, gravidity, parity, BMI, usage duration and both AFC, AMH among group 3 controls. Conclusion: The prolonged use of HC in COC group had a significant negative effect on volume of ovary and AFC with no effect on AMH. A significant negative correlation between age and AMH was found among COC users.

Published: August 2022

Background: large gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) represent a surgical challenge for complete en block resection, which is the mainstay strategy for management. This study was done to determine long term oncological outcomes following resection of GISTs >10 cm. Material and methods: This retrospective study included 52 patients who underwent surgical resection for GIST >10 cm. Our main outcome is to determine the overall survival along with the predictors of post-operative recurrence after large GISTs resection. Results: The stomach was the most commonly affected organ (55.8%). Mass size was larger than 20 cm in 36.5% of our patients and the rest of them ranged between 10 – 20 cm. Anatomical/formal resection was performed in 63.5%of patients, and the remaining ones received a limited resection. After follow-up (median 57 months), disease-free and overall survival had mean values of 80.97 and 100.56 months, respectively. Recurrence was encountered in 36.5%, while the total mortality rate was 26.9%. Multivariate analysis revealed that tumor rupture and CD 34 positive tumors were strong predictors of recurrence. Conclusion: surgical resection of GISTs is the mainstay therapy, but it is associated with relatively high rate of recurrence even with adjuvant tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy (TKIs).

The persistent decline in the survival of manufacturing sector in Nigeria, especially during recession has spurred research interest amongst professionals, researchers and scholars. Despite the huge attention given to the development of manufacturing sectors, a good number of companies cannot withstand the poor economic wave. This necessities the study to examine the effect of cost control strategies on the survival of manufacturing sector in Nigeria, using panel data gathered from annual reports of five selected firms for the period five (5) years between 2015 and 2019. Data on finance cost, salaries, and wages, and sales cost were taken as independent variables to measure the level at which manufacturing companies have been able to manage their costs while return on asset (Income/Total Asset) was taken as dependent variable proxied the performance of manufacturing companies. The study revealed that finance cost and cost of goods sold were insignificant cost to influence the performance of manufacturing sector, however, salaries and wages pose a significant impact on financial performance of manufacturing sector in Nigeria. It is therefore recommends that salaries and borrowing costs should be strategically controlled to help companies survive during recession without resorting to downsizing. Also, the company budget should not be fixed, but should be revised to reflect any sudden changes in the economy.
