Published: January 2022

Objectives: Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare genetic disease that causes recurrent respiratory infections. People with PCD may be at high risk of severe COVID-19 and protection against SARS-CoV-2 is therefore important. We studied facemask usage and problems reported in relation with their use among people with PCD.Methods: We used data from COVID-PCD, an international observational cohort study. A questionnaire was e-mailed to participants in October 2020 that asked about facemask usage.Results: In total, 282 participants from 27 countries were included (Median age 32 years; 63% female). In total, 252 (89%) wore facemasks everywhere in public, 13 (5%) wore facemasks in most places, and 17 (6%) did not wear facemasks in public. Half of the participants reported that it was uncomfortable to wear facemasks because of runny nose, cough, or difficulty breathing. Participants less often wore facemasks when there was no national requirement.Conclusion: Most people with PCD wore facemasks despite frequent respiratory problems related to their use. Facemask usage was most frequent in countries with a national requirement emphasizing the importance of nationwide policies mandating facemasks.

BackgroundDisease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs), including methotrexate and azathioprine, are commonly used to treat rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Blood-test safety monitoring is mainly undertaken in primary care. Normal blood results are common.AimTo determine the frequency and associations of persistently normal blood tests in patients with RA prescribed methotrexate, and patients with IBD prescribed azathioprine.Design and settingTwo-year retrospective study of a cohort taken from an electronic pseudonymised primary care/laboratory database covering >1.4 million patients across Hampshire, UK.MethodPatients with RA and IBD, and associated methotrexate and azathioprine prescriptions, respectively, were identified. Tests and test thresholds recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence were applied. Persistent normality was defined as no abnormalities of any tests nor alanine aminotransferase (ALT), white blood count (WBC), neutrophils, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) individually. Logistic regression was used to identify associations with test normality.ResultsOf 702 265 adults, 7102 had RA and 8597 had IBD. In total, 3001 (42.3%) patients with RA were prescribed methotrexate and 1162 (13.5%) patients with IBD were prescribed azathioprine; persistently normal tests occurred in 1585 (52.8%) and 657 (56.5%) of the populations, respectively. In patients with RA on methotrexate, 585 (19.5%) had eGFR, 219 (7.3%) ALT, 217 (7.2%) WBC, and 202 (6.7%) neutrophil abnormalities. In patients with IBD on azathioprine, 138 (11.9%) had WBC, 88 (7.6%) eGFR, 72 (6.2%) ALT, and 65 (5.6%) neutrophil abnormalities. Those least likely to have persistent test normality were older and/or had comorbidities.ConclusionPersistent test normality is common when monitoring these DMARDs, with few hepatic or haematological abnormalities. More stratified monitoring approaches should be explored.

Abstract
We report on the formation and optical characteristics of Eu-doped GaN (GaN:Eu)/GaN core–shell nanowires (NWs) grown by organometallic vapor phase epitaxy. A moderate V/III ratio and growth temperature enable the incorporation of Eu3+ ions into the GaN shells on GaN core NWs, resulting in red luminescence at room temperature whose peak intensity is more than 20 times larger than for a GaN:Eu film on planar GaN. The cathodoluminescence characterization corroborates that the observed enhanced Eu luminescence originates from the predominant formation of highly efficient Eu centers in the sidewalls of the GaN:Eu/GaN core–shell NWs.

Published: January 2022

Background & Objectives: Discectomy followed by the fusion in the cervical spine is done for herniated cervical intervertebral disc causing neurologic symptoms when conservative management has failed. In our study, we assessed clinical presentation and functional outcomes after surgery through an anterior cervical approach.
Materials and Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted in the Neurosurgery division, Lady reading hospital Peshawar. We included 42 consecutive patients who underwent single-level anterior cervical discectomy and fusion for the herniated cervical disc. The mean follow-up was 14 months. Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) was done in all patients using standalone titanium or PEEK cage. Z scores and associated p values were calculated to see the difference of significance between preoperative reported symptoms and their improvements postoperatively.
Results: There were 37 male and 5 female patients. The mean age was 43 ± 9.8 years. Disc herniation mostly occurred at C4 – 5 and C5 – 6 levels (76.16%). Preoperatively, the Neck pain was present in 36 (85.7%), upper limb weakness in 20 (47.6%), numbness/paresthesias in 25 (59.5%), upper limb pain in 18 (42.84%), lower limbs spasticity in 14 (33.32%) and bladder involvement in 3 (7.14%) patients. Statistical significant postoperative improvements in (90-100%) were reported in symptoms. Postoperative complications were observed in 5 patients. Most reported complication, the dysphagia was noted in 9.52% patients.
Conclusions: A significant proportion of patients with herniated cervical disc showed an excellent recovery after anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF).

Authors: Luévanos-Soto Inocencio , Camporredondo-Reyes Francisco Luis , Rodríguez-Barboza Ma. Edith 
Published: January 2022

En el norte de México, entre los estados de Coahuila y Durango, se ubica la Comarca Lagunera, a la quepertenece Gómez Palacio, con una larga tradición industrial ha sido relevante para el desarrollo de la región. Eso trajo innumerables empresas interesadas en establecer sus fábricas, muchas de las cuales fueron de importancia mundial, por lo que los vestigios de dichas instalaciones son de importancia en la identidad gomezpalatina. Sin embargo, al transcurrir del tiempo, se ignoró este patrimonio y quedó abandonado o destruido. El objetivo del presente trabajo es mostrar un diagnóstico inicial de las condiciones actuales del Patrimonio Industrial Inmueble que se generó durante la fundación de Gómez Palacio. Por lo anterior, se abordó la metodología desde los enfoques descriptivo y hermenéutico, posteriormente se encausó a un enfoque exploratorio para particularizar el estudio de dos casos, las antiguas fábricas: “La Amistad” y “LaEsperanza”, con el fin de contrastar lo analizado previamente con el estado actual de este patrimonio. Como resultados se encontró que, en ambos casos, se ha intervenido el espacio de diversas formas siendo las más recientes las que muestran una sensibilidad sobre el valor de estos inmuebles, por lo que se concluyó que, aunque se han hecho esfuerzos por conservar el Patrimonio Industrial en Gómez Palacio, estos son insuficientes, ya que la difusión y concientización del patrimonio no están contempladas en los planes de intervención.

Published: January 2022

An effective approach to the COS capture and fixation using the alcohol-amine binary systems contained Ethylene Glycol-based polyols (EGs) and Ethylenediamine-based polyamines (EDAs) under ambient conditions is developed. Fourier-Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and X-Ray powder Diffraction (XRD) analyses reveal that COS is converted into thio-alkylcarbonate salts with the special chemical structures of [+H3NR1NH3 +-OC(=S)OR2(R3)O(S=)CO-]n, which are named as a COS-Storage Material (COSSM). Notably, the COSSM is successfully applied to the synthesis of CdS Nano-Particles (NPs) for the photocatalytic conversion of CO2 to CO and CH4, and used as a nitro-sulfur compound fertilizer to promote plant growth. Our work has provided a readily available strategy for the green storage and sustainable utilization of COS.
