Published: August 2022

Abstract
Barite is an important industrial mineral used as a weighing agent in fluids during the drilling of oil and natural gas wells, with the majority of United States production originating from Nevada. This paper considers three barite properties at varying stages of development—Rossi, Heavy Spar, and Ann—all located within the northern Nevada barite belt. At all three sites, barite is hosted in the Roberts Mountains allochthon consisting of siliceous sedimentary rocks. Geochemical characterization of waste rock, ore, and process products has been undertaken as part of project development at each site, including 212 acid-base accounting (ABA) analysis and 19 humidity-cell tests operated for up to 114 weeks. This study demonstrates that the presence of barite greatly limits the application of using traditional Sobek-style ABA methods. Barite will undergo incomplete dissolution and extraction in the ABA tests that will result in an overprediction of acid generation for materials that contain barite (i.e., ore and jig by-products). Results indicate use of the net acid generation test to inform waste rock management represents a more reliable indicator of acid generation for these three deposits and potentially also other barite deposits. Potential barite mine sites should continue to be evaluated using the same geochemical testing tools as base metal mines but using those tools in a selective way to achieve balance between regulatory requirements and costs.

Authors: Tran Nhat Tien , Lee Kwang-Bok 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
Osteonecrosis is acknowledged as a relatively uncommon disorder caused by various factors, including autoimmune diseases, drug-induced diseases, inherited metabolic disorders, coagulation disorders, and underlying malignancies. To our knowledge, no previous research has investigated osteonecrosis stemming from extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Herein, we report a rare case of postperipheral venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation–induced multifocal osteonecrosis in the foot and ankle that demonstrated a low serpiginous peripheral signal on T1-weighted images and a double-line sign on fat-suppressed or T2-weighted magnetic resonance images. Conservative treatment was applied, and the patient was mostly recuperated after 6 months.
Determination of Maturity Indices for Harvesting of ber (Ziziphus mauritiana Lamk.)
Authors: Singh Vartika , Deen Bhagwan 
Published: August 2022

Indian jujube or ber (Ziziphus mauritiana Lamk.) is an important hardy underutilised fruit crop of arid and semi-arid regions of India, symbolizing the production at a minimal cost. Ber fruits are potent source of nutritional as well as medicinal values and are generally consumed fresh. Ber fruits follow non-climacteric respiratory pattern. Fruits that are allowed to ripen on the tree typically have a limited shelf life and the ideal results are obtained if they are picked before the onset of ripening. Fruit harvesting at the appropriate stage of maturity is critical for both quality control and marketing. The time taken by ber fruit to mature from fruit set to maturity depends upon cultivar as well as location. Immature fruits lack desirable sweetness and flavour while over ripe fruits quickly lose their attractiveness and crispiness with slimy texture. Hence, an experiment was conducted to determine the optimum maturity indices for harvesting Indian jujube during 2019-20. Cultivar selected for this experiment was Narendra Ber Selection-2. The fruits on tagged current season shoots were harvested 21, 36, 51, 66, 81, 96, 111, 126, 141, 156, 171 and186 days after fruit setting. Fruit colour, shape, specific gravity, total soluble solids (%), T.S.S.: Acid ratio and organoleptic score of fruits were recorded at 15 days interval after fruit set. The results revealed that ber fruit of cultivar NBS-2 matures for harvesting between 171 to186 days after fruit setting i.e., between 29th February to 15th March when fruits attain yellowish to green colour, 0.95-0.92 specific gravity, ovate shape,17.29-17.94 T.S.S. and 123.72-128.37 T.S.S.: Acid ratio with organoleptic score of 7.5 to 8.0 range.

Published: August 2022

Background: Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most commonly diagnosed solid tumor among men. Genetic susceptibility had been proposed among the risk factors for the development of this cancer.
Aim: To investigate the effect of androgen receptor gene polymorphism in the susceptibility of prostate cancer among Sudanese patients.
Methods: This study was conducted in Khartoum State during the period from December 2021 to May 2022. The study population that was selected consisted of one hundred patients, who had prostate cancer, who attended for routine follow-up assessment following their chemotherapy treatment. A total of 5 ml EDTA anti-coagulated venous blood samples were obtained from all participants. Prostate specific antigen (PSA) was measured by competitive chemiluminescence immunoassay. DNA extraction was performed for all samples by chemical method and genotyping was performed by PCR-RFLP method using Eco147I enzyme.
Results: The Androgen receptor genotype showed that wild (G/G) type was more frequent (89%) than heterozygous (G/A) type (11%), and allele G was more frequent (94.5%) than allele A (5.5%). The mean serum PSA level among prostate cancer patients was 18.71+31.68 ng/ml. Comparison of the mean serum PSA levels between different AR genotypes revealed no significant association between the genotype and the hormonal level (p. values > 0.05).
Conclusion: Androgen receptor gene polymorphism was detected in this study population as heterozygous type. Moreover; there was no significant association between AR genotype and serum PSA level.

Published: August 2022

Introduction
Laparoscopic reconstruction after left colectomy is mostly performed with functional end-to-end anastomosis through about 5–7 cm sized incision. However, this procedure poses some problems, including increased intestinal mobilization range and parietal destruction, insufficient blood flow to the intestinal tract due to arterial arch malformation, and dominant artery dissection. In this paper, we present a case of descending colon cancer for which totally laparoscopic surgery and intracorporeal anastomosis could be performed safely with preoperative simulation and intraoperative navigation.

Case presentation
A 34-year-old male was complaint fecal occult blood positive and a colonoscopy was performed. The patient was diagnosed with descending colon cancer cT2N0N0 Stage I. Preoperative CT angiography findings showed that the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) branched into the left colic artery (LCA) and the sigmoid arteries (S1, S2) in order and showed LCA and S1 as the dominant arteries, and a totally laparoscopic descending colectomy (D2 dissection and S2 artery preserving) was scheduled. At his operation, for investigate blood flow of anastomotic region, ICG was used. After an intravenous injection of ICG, blood flow was evaluated and intestinal dissection was performed at the scheduled dissection line. Intracorporeal anastomosis was then performed using the overlap method and a linear stapler.

Conclusion
Although the intracorporeal anastomosis procedure has a high degree of difficulty, the use of preoperative simulation and intraoperative navigation may reduce the surgeon's intraoperative stress and enable safe and accurate intestinal dissection and anastomosis in the totally laparoscopic surgery.
A possible Neolithic settlement at Milton of Leys, Inverness

Published: August 2022

Excavations by Headland Archaeology identified a cluster of small pits and post-holes at Milton of Leys, Inverness, Highland Council. Neolithic Grooved Ware, including one vessel in the Durrington Walls sub-style, was recovered from several of the features, which appear to be domestic in function. At present, this is the most northerly example of pottery in the Durrington Walls sub-style. Furthermore, radiocarbon dating has determined that this vessel dates to the second half of the fourth millennium BC, which is one of the earliest dates anywhere in Britain for this style. Milton of Leys is the latest of a number of small Neolithic settlement sites to have been discovered in the Inverness area, where none was previously known. These findings highlight the fact that our picture of the distribution and dating of such pottery and sites reflects accidental discovery during archaeological work and that these sites are very difficult to detect. The project was funded by Tulloch Homes Ltd.

ImportanceBlack men have higher prostate cancer incidence and mortality than non-Hispanic White men. However, Black men have been underrepresented in clinical trials of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening; thus, there is a lack of data to guide screening recommendations for this population.ObjectiveTo assess whether PSA screening is associated with reduced risk of prostate cancer–specific mortality (PCSM) among non-Hispanic Black men.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis retrospective cohort study used data from the US Veterans Health Administration Informatics and Computing Infrastructure for men aged 55 to 69 years who self-identified as non-Hispanic Black or non-Hispanic White and were diagnosed with intermediate-, high-, or very high–risk prostate cancer from January 1, 2004, to December 31, 2017. Data were analyzed from August 2021 to March 2022.ExposuresProstate-specific antigen screening rate, defined as the percentage of years in which PSA screening was conducted during the 5 years before diagnosis of prostate cancer.Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe primary outcome was risk of PCSM among Black men and White men. The association between PSA screening and risk of PCSM was assessed using Fine-Gray regression analysis. Risk of PCSM was also assessed categorically among patients classified as having no prior PSA screening, some screening (less than annual), or annual screening in the 5 years before diagnosis.ResultsThe study included 45 834 veterans (mean [SD] age, 62.7 [3.8] years), of whom 14 310 (31%) were non-Hispanic Black men and 31 524 (69%) were non-Hispanic White men. The PSA screening rate was associated with a lower risk of PCSM among Black men (subdistribution hazard ratio [sHR], 0.56; 95% CI, 0.41-0.76; P = .001) and White men (sHR, 0.58; 95% CI, 0.46-0.75; P = .001). On subset analysis, annual screening (vs some screening) was associated with a significant reduction in risk of PCSM among Black men (sHR, 0.65; 95% CI, 0.46-0.92; P = .02) but not among White men (sHR, 0.91; 95% CI, 0.74-1.11; P = .35).Conclusions and RelevanceIn this cohort study, PSA screening was associated with reduced risk of PCSM among non-Hispanic Black men and non-Hispanic White men. Annual screening was associated with reduced risk of PCSM among Black men but not among White men, suggesting that annual screening may be particularly important for Black men. Further research is needed to identify appropriate populations and protocols to maximize the benefits of PSA screening.
A Microfluidic Model of AQP4 Polarization Dynamics and Fluid Transport in the Healthy and Inflamed Human Brain: The First Step Towards Glymphatics‐on‐a‐Chip
Authors: Soden Paul A. , Henderson Aria R. , Lee Esak 
Published: August 2022

AbstractDysfunction of the aquaporin‐4 (AQP4)‐dependent glymphatic waste clearance pathway has recently been implicated in the pathogenesis of several neurodegenerative diseases. However, it is difficult to unravel the causative relationship between glymphatic dysfunction, AQP4 depolarization, protein aggregation, and inflammation in neurodegeneration using animal models alone. There is currently a clear, unmet need for in vitro models of the brain's waterscape, and the first steps towards a bona fide “glymphatics‐on‐a‐chip” are taken in the present study. It is demonstrated that chronic exposure to lipopolysaccharide (LPS), amyloid‐β(1‐42) oligomers, and an AQP4 inhibitor impairs the drainage of fluid and amyloid‐β(1‐40) tracer in a gliovascular unit (GVU)‐on‐a‐chip model containing human astrocytes and brain microvascular endothelial cells. The LPS‐induced drainage impairment is partially retained following cell lysis, indicating that neuroinflammation induces parallel changes in cell‐dependent and matrisome‐dependent fluid transport pathways in GVU‐on‐a‐chip. Additionally, AQP4 depolarization is observed following LPS treatment, suggesting that LPS‐induced drainage impairments on‐chip may be driven in part by changes in AQP4‐dependent fluid dynamics.
