Published: November 2022

Objetivo do estudo: resgatar o histórico da estratégia e analisar as principais motivações de declaração de imunidade de corte de exemplares arbóreos na cidade de São Carlos/SP, bem como analisar as principais motivações que levaram ao tratamento do poder executivo no cuidado desses exemplares.Metodologia: Para realização deste trabalho, adotou-se uma abordagem metodológica qualitativa, denominada pesquisa documental, que teve como recorte temporal os anos entre 1948 e 2020.Originalidade/Relevância: Ainda que esteja prevista no arcabouço legal a proteção de árvores, através da declaração de imunidade de corte ou tombamento como patrimônio, verifica-se uma lacuna de trabalhos voltados à análise e reflexão de dados qualitativos sobre as motivações da proteção especial desses indivíduos.Resultados: Na cidade de São Carlos, entre os anos de 2001 a 2007, 134 árvores foram declaradas imunes de corte por meio de 6 Decretos Municipais. Os principais motivos de preservação foram: “Localização/Espacial”, “Ecológica” e “Beleza”. Destaca-se o Decreto nº 133 de 2001, que declara imune ao corte a espécie Araucaria angustifolia. Todas as árvores foram declaradas imunes de corte, quando a mesma gestão municipal estava à frente da administração, indicando ser uma estratégia mais relacionada a uma política de governo do que uma política efetiva de estado.Contribuições sociais / para a gestão: A realização deste trabalho contribui para o debate e conhecimento sobre a proteção legal de exemplares arbóreos e na politização da temática da arborização urbana historicamente marcada pela abordagem técnica.

Equivalent thermal resistance of the road surface
Authors: Galkin Aleksandr 
Published: November 2022

The design and construction of highways in the cryolithozone is associated with a number of difficulties, which are determined not only by geocryological and climatic operating conditions, but also by the complexity of the actual forecast of the thermal regime of road coverings and foundations. Many thermal calculations to substantiate technical solutions for the protection of highways in the cryolithozone from negative cryogenic phenomena are based on the determination and selection of a given thermal resistance of the structural layers of the pavement. The purpose of these studies was to assess the feasibility of using equivalent thermal resistance in modeling thermal processes and to determine the error in calculations that we make by replacing the layered pavement structure with an equivalent one. Simple engineering dependences are obtained that allow us to determine the error in calculations when using equivalent thermal resistance. The calculation of the thermal resistance of the three-layer construction of the pavement is made. It is established that for a three-layer pavement structure, the error value in the calculation of thermal resistance is directly related to the degree of deviation of the values of the thermal conductivity coefficient of the materials of individual layers from each other. Moreover, the parameters of the inequality of thermal conductivity coefficients for individual structural layers when determining the minimum calculation error are functionally related to each other. The results of variant numerical calculations are presented in the form of 3D and 2D graphs, which allow us to visually assess the influence of the studied parameters on the relative error of calculating the thermal resistance of the pavement.
Assessment of the association between periodontal disease and total cancer incidence and mortality: a meta-analysis
Authors: Wang Kaili , Zhang Zheng , Wang Zuomin 
Published: November 2022

BackgroundPeriodontal disease (PD) is a chronic inflammatory disease that leads to alveolar bone resorption and tooth loss. Many studies have reported the association between periodontal disease and various cancers including oral cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer and so on. However, there is still no specialized meta-analysis that assesses the association between periodontal disease and cancer incidence and mortality in-deepth. Thus, we conducted this meta-analysis.MethodsThis meta-analysis was registered with PROSPERO: CRD42020183497. We searched five online databases for observational studies about the association between periodontal disease and breast, prostate, lung and bronchial, colorectal, and total cancers by July 2020. Then we evaluated quality of the included studies by the Newcastle-Ottawa scale. Risk ratios (HRs) and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were pooled to evaluate the strength of the association between periodontal disease and four cancers, total cancer incidence and mortality. In addition, we analyzed heterogeneity by subgroup analysis and sensitivity analysis. Finally, we inspected publication bias by Begg’s and Egger’s tests.ResultsNone of the studies included in this meta-analysis were of poor quality. PD is not only related to breast cancer incidence (HR = 1.26,95%CI [1.11–1.43],I2= 75.8%,P = 0.000), but also connected with total cancer mortality (HR = 1.40,95%CI [1.24–1.58],I2= 0.0%,P = 0.718). Subgroup analyses showed that study population, study design, dental status, follow-up period, adjustment for smoking partially explained the heterogeneity between studies. The results of Begg’s test and Egger’s test were consistent and indicated that there is no publication bias in this study.ConclusionIn conclusion, this meta-analysis revealed a positive relationship between periodontal disease and breast cancer incidence and total cancer mortality. Further well-designed studies with specific inclusion and exclusion criteria are required to strengthen the conclusion of this meta-analysis. However, longer follow-up period, multi-center trials and even multinational studies are required to corroborate the results.

Authors: Kingsley Akaba , Inyama Marcus , Kokelu Anthony , Oshatuyi Olukayode 
Published: November 2022

Background: Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a bi- or triphasic disease comprising of the chronic phase (present at diagnosis in approximately 85% of patients) which can easily be controlled with conventional chemotherapy, followed by unstable accelerated phase and terminating in a blastic phase. The treatment of CML has evolved over the years The availability of the tyrosine kinase inhibitors has distinctly changed the disease course for patients with Ph+ and/or BCR-ABL1+ (CML). This study aims to determine the demographics and overall survival patterns of CML patients in the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital (UCTH)l.
Methods: The study is a retrospective study of twenty-two (22) CML patients seen and managed at the UCTH from June 2014 to August 2021. Male/female distribution was 9/13, with a median age of 42 years. Overall survival (OS) and progression free survival (PFS) were determined using the Kaplan-Meier techniques. The data were analyzed using Microsoft Excel 2016 and IBM SPSS version 21.
Results: Total of 22 CML patients were seen over the 8-year-period of review. The mean age was 42.63, median age 42, and modal age was 37 years respectively. There were 9 males and 13 females. 20 of the patients were in the chronic phase while 2 were in the terminating blastic phase. The presence of mutation was seen in two patients while the remaining 20 showed no mutation. Of the patients, 6 were dead and 16 are alive at the time of review. The overall survival period ranges from 12 to 84 months. The survival distributions for mutation and state of the disease (chronic or blastic) were not statistically significantly different, X2= 3.204, p = 0.073.
Conclusion: There is inconsistency in the demographic and overall survival pattern of chronic myeloid leukaemia in our environment. Further study is needed to identify the factors which can help to improve the overall survival pattern in our environment.

Aims: Accurate estimates of evaporation by employing efficient and proven soft computing techniques that involve least number of influencing variables are important to tackle present water crisis.
Place and Duration of Study: In the present study, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and fuzzy logic models were developed to predict the pan evaporation (Ep) in Raichur, Karnataka, using six input parameters viz., maximum and minimum temperatures, maximum and minimum relative humidity, sunshine hours and wind speedfor the period of 30 years (1990-2019).
Methodology: Comparison between models was done to select best suitable model to predict pan evaporation. The ANN models were trained withthree training algorithms. Gaussian membership function was used in fuzzy logic (FL) model.
Results: The results revealed that, the ANN-GDX model performed better over ANN-LM, ANN-BR and fuzzy logic models during validation period. The correlation coefficient (r), coefficient of efficiency (CE), mean absolute error (MAE) and root mean square error (RMSE) were observed to be 0.7637, 0.5831, 1.3880 and 1.8541 respectively during validation period between actual and predicted pan evaporation (Ep) with 1.3880 mm root mean square error. Therefore, ANN-GDX model was chosen for predicting pan evaporation in the study area.
Conclusion: ANN-GDX model was chosen for predicting pan evaporation in the study area.

Published: November 2022

ImportanceTo limit the spread of COVID-19, numerous restrictions were imposed on youths, including school closures, isolation requirements, social distancing, and cancelation of extracurricular activities, which independently or collectively may have shifted screen time patterns.ObjectiveTo estimate changes in the duration, content, and context of screen time of children and adolescents by comparing estimates taken before the pandemic with those taken during the pandemic and to determine when and for whom screen time has increased the most.Data SourcesElectronic databases were searched between January 1, 2020, and March 5, 2022, including MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. A total of 2474 nonduplicate records were retrieved.Study SelectionStudy inclusion criteria were reported changes in the duration (minutes per day) of screen time before and during the pandemic; children, adolescents, and young adults (≤18 years); longitudinal or retrospective estimates; peer reviewed; and published in English.Data Extraction and SynthesisA total of 136 articles underwent full-text review. Data were analyzed from April 6, 2022, to May 5, 2022, with a random-effects meta-analysis.Main Outcomes and MeasuresChange in daily screen time comparing estimates taken before vs during the COVID-19 pandemic.ResultsThe meta-analysis included 46 studies (146 effect sizes; 29 017 children; 57% male; and mean [SD] age, 9 [4.1] years) revealed that, from a baseline prepandemic value of 162 min/d (2.7 h/d), during the pandemic there was an increase in screen time of 84 min/d (1.4 h/d), representing a 52% increase. Increases were particularly marked for individuals aged 12 to 18 years (k [number of sample estimates] = 26; 110 min/d) and for device type (handheld devices [k = 20; 44 min/d] and personal computers [k = 13; 46 min/d]). Moderator analyses showed that increases were possibly larger in retrospective (k = 36; 116 min/d) vs longitudinal (k = 51; 65 min/d) studies. Mean increases were observed in samples examining both recreational screen time alone (k = 54; 84 min/d) and total daily screen time combining recreational and educational use (k = 33; 68 min/d).Conclusions and RelevanceThe COVID-19 pandemic has led to considerable disruptions in the lives and routines of children, adolescents, and families, which is likely associated with increased levels of screen time. Findings suggest that when interacting with children and caregivers, practitioners should place a critical focus on promoting healthy device habits, which can include moderating daily use; choosing age-appropriate programs; promoting device-free time, sleep, and physical activity; and encouraging children to use screens as a creative outlet or a means to meaningfully connect with others.

AbstractAccurate measurements of skin hydration are of great interest to dermatological science and clinical practice. This parameter serves as a relevant surrogate of skin barrier function, a key representative benchmark for overall skin health. The skin hydration sensor (SHS) is a soft, skin‐interfaced wireless system that exploits a thermal measurement method, as an alternative to conventional impedance‐based hand‐held probes. This study presents multiple strategies for maximizing the sensitivity and reliability of this previously reported SHS platform. An in‐depth analysis of the thermal physics of the measurement process serves as the basis for structural optimizations of the electronics and the interface to the skin. Additional engineering advances eliminate variabilities associated with manual use of the device and with protocols for the measurement. The cumulative effect is an improvement in sensitivity by 135% and in repeatability by 36% over previously reported results. Pilot trials on more than 200 patients in a dermatology clinic validate the practical utility of the sensor for fast, reliable measurements.

Published: November 2022

AbstractTo restore the disordered endogenous gas levels is an efficient alternative for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Both insufficient hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and excessive nitric oxide (NO) contribute to synovial inflammation. Herein, a new block polymer PEG10‐b‐PNAPA30‐b‐PEG10 composed of an NO‐responsive monomer and a cysteine‐triggered H2S donor, which can simultaneously scavenge NO and release therapeutic H2S for RA treatment, is reported. In vitro experiments demonstrate that the polymer exhibits a synergistic effect on suppressing reactive oxygen species levels and pro‐inflammatory cytokine production via NF‐κB signaling pathway. It leads to the polarization of macrophages from M1 to M2 phenotype. Moreover, the released H2S further restrains NO production by suppressing the expression of iNOS. In vivo experiments with an RA rat model show that the system markedly mitigates the synovial inflammation, osteoporosis, and clinical symptoms of RA rats, which is attributed to the combination therapy of H2S release and NO depletion. This work provides new insight into the synergistic treatment of RA and endogenous gas‐related diseases.
