Published: November 2022

BackgroundIron deficiency accounts for about half of anemia cases worldwide. Iron and folate supplementation can effectively control and prevent anemia during pregnancy. Despite the efforts to reduce iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy, only a few women took an iron supplement as recommended. The aim of this study is to assess adherence to iron-folic acid supplementation and associated factors.MethodsA facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted from April 1 to May 31, 2021, among pregnant women attending the antenatal care clinic at Metema district governmental health institutions. Data was collected through face-to-face interviews with an interviewer-administered questionnaire. Epi info version 7.1 and SPSS 20 were used for data entry and analysis. Binary logistic regression analysis was done to identify factors associated with iron-folic acid supplementation for pregnant women. Significant associations were determined based on the adjusted odds ratio (AOR) and 95% confidence, with a p-value &lt; 0.05.ResultsThe proportion of pregnant women adhering to iron-folic acid supplementation was 34.9% (95% CI: 31, 38.8%). Maternal educational status [AOR = 6.09, 95% CI (3.26, 11.4)], time of first antenatal consultation [AOR = 1.95, 95% CI (1.25, 3.06)], having good knowledge of iron with folic acid supplementation [AOR = 2.80, 95% CI (1.83, 4.28)], having a good understanding of anemia [AOR = 1.61, 95% CI (1.06, 2.43)], and a history of anemia during current pregnancy [AOR = 2.31, 95% CI (1.36, 3.94)] were factors affecting iron-folic acid supplementation adherence.ConclusionsIron-folic acid supplementation adherence was low in the study area. Increasing maternal awareness, having good knowledge about the benefits of iron-folate supplements, and early registration to antenatal care were positive determinants of iron with folic acid adherence.

BackgroundEvidence suggests positive affective response during physical activity increases the likelihood of engaging in and maintaining regular activity exercise in the future. Elucidating antecedents for a positive affective response may help identify intervention strategies to increase activity. Affectively-charged motivations (e.g., desires, urges, dreading) have been posited as proximal antecedents to physical activity but have yet to be examined in terms of their influence on affective response in real-world settings. The current study used ecological momentary assessment (EMA) to examine within-subject effects of pre-physical activity affectively-charged motivation on subsequent affective response during physical activity.MethodsParticipants included 56 adults (M= 39.18 years,SD= 11.98; 67.86% female) who completed a 14-day smartphone-based EMA study. Prior to starting physical activity (timet), participants self-initiated an event-contingent EMA survey that assessed affectively-charged motivation for physical activity (i.e., rating scale from “dreading it” to “excited to do it”). EMA surveys prompted during subsequent physical activity (timet+ 15 min) assessed affective response (i.e., feeling good—bad, energized—exhausted, thrilled—miserable, interested—bored, and relaxed—nervous). Multi-level linear regression models examined within-subject effects of pre- physical activity affectively-charged motivations on subsequent affective response during physical activity controlling for between-subjects effects of affectively-charged motivation, age, biological sex, time of day, and day of the week.ResultsOverall, there wereN= 304 physical activity occasions in the analysis (M= 5.43,SD= 3.97). When individuals reported more positive affectively-charged motivation for physical activity than usual before physical activity occasions, they reported feeling more energized (Estimate = 0.22,p&lt; 0.001), good (Estimate = 0.25,p&lt; 0.001), thrilled (Estimate = 0.12,p= 0.02), and interested (Estimate = 0.24,p&lt; 0.001) during subsequent physical activity. Affectively-charged motivation was not associated with feeling more relaxed (Estimate = 0.11,p= 0.13) during subsequent physical activity.ConclusionMomentary affectively-charged motivations predicted more positive affective response during subsequent physical activity among active adults. Future research can explore potential sources of intraindividual differences in affectively-charged motivations and further examine these associations with future physical activity behavior. To improve positive affective responses, interventions may boost affectively-charged motivations through real-time mobile prompting in naturalistic settings.
Captivity and geography influence the antibiotic resistome of non-human primates
Authors: Huang Hongli 
Published: November 2022

IntroductionAntibiotic resistance poses a serious threat for animals and humans health worldwide. Yet a comprehensive exploration of the influence of captivity and geography on non-human primate (NPH) gut antibiotic resistance remains incomplete.MethodsIn this study, 131 metagenomic sequencing datasets of five species of NHPs included different regions and lifestyles were selected to perform the antibiotic resistance analysis.ResultsNineteen related resistance antibiotics and 325 antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) were obtained. A significantly higher abundance and diversity index of ARGs in the captive NHPs than in the wild was found but not for all of the samples. The biomarker-tracking of ARGs analysis identified key ARGs related to aminoglycoside resistance genes and tetracycline resistance genes.DiscussionThese results suggest that captivity and geography changes associated with human activities can lead to marked changes in the ecology of the NHP gut flora ARGs.

Profiling of circulating immune cells provides valuable insight to the pathophysiology of acute rejection in organ transplantation. Herein we characterized the peripheral blood mononuclear cells in simultaneous kidney-pancreas transplant recipients. We conducted a retrospective analysis in a biopsy-matched cohort (n = 67) and compared patients with biopsy proven acute rejection (BPAR; 41%) to those without rejection (No-AR). We observed that CD3+ T cells, both CD8+ and CD4+, as well as CD19+ B cells were increased in patients with BPAR, particularly in biopsies performed in the early post-transplant period (&lt;3 months). During this period immune subsets presented a good discriminative ability (CD4+ AUC 0.79; CD8+ AUC 0.80; B cells AUC 0.86; p &lt; 0.05) and outperformed lipase (AUC 0.62; p = 0.12) for the diagnosis of acute rejection. We further evaluated whether this could be explained by differences in frequencies prior to transplantation. Patients presenting with early post-transplant rejection (&lt;3 months) had a significant increase in T-cell frequencies pre-transplant, both CD4+ T cells and CD8+ T cells (p &lt; 0.01), which were associated with a significant inferior rejection-free graft survival. T cell frequencies in peripheral blood correlated with pancreas acute rejection episodes, and variations prior to transplantation were associated with pancreas early acute rejection.

Avian coccidiosis remains one of the major parasitic diseases that threaten the global poultry industry. Since prevention is superior to treatment, this study focuses on eliminating the infection outside the host. To determine their effect on the viability of Eimeria tenella oocysts in vitro, allicin and alcoholic garlic extract, which are natural, less toxic, and inexpensive products, were compared to KOH 5% (chemical disinfectant) using an in vitro culture system. Three concentrations of allicin (45, 90, and 180 mg/mL) and alcoholic garlic extract (90, 180, and 360 mg/mL, were used. Subsequently, destructive and sporulation-inhibiting effects on Eimeria oocysts were detected using light and electron microscopy. Young chickens were infected with treated sporulated oocysts to determine their effect on infectivity. After 7 days pi, the percentage of excreted oocysts (oocyst shedding) was determined, and the chickens were slaughtered for histopathological examination of the cecal tissues. Under an electron microscope, allicin at a concentration of 180 mg/mL and alcoholic garlic extract at a concentration of 360 mg/mL demonstrate a high oocysticidal activity with severe destruction of the oocyst wall and the appearance of pores. In addition, both concentrations directly affected the infectivity of sporulated oocysts by reducing the shedding of oocysts and the pathological lesions of infected young chickens. We concluded that the ability of Allicin and alcoholic garlic extract to eliminate Eimeria oocysts makes them superior to chemical disinfectants as a disinfectant.

Dengue Fever (DF) is an important arthropod-borne viral infection that has repeatedly occurred as outbreaks in eastern and northeastern Ethiopia since 2013. A cross-sectional epidemiological outbreak investigation was carried out from September to November 2019 on febrile patients (confirmed malaria negative) who presented with suspected and confirmed DF at both public and private health facilities in Gewane District, Afar Region, northeastern Ethiopia. Entomological investigation of containers found in randomly selected houses belonging to DF-positive patients was undertaken to survey for the presence of Aedes larvae/pupae. A total of 1185 DF cases were recorded from six health facilities during the 3-month study period. The mean age of DF cases was 27.2 years, and 42.7% of cases were female. The most affected age group was 15–49 years old (78.98%). The total case proportions differed significantly across age groups when compared to the population distribution; there were approximately 15% and 5% higher case proportions among those aged 15–49 years and 49+ years, respectively. A total of 162 artificial containers were inspected from 62 houses, with 49.4% found positive for Aedes aegypti larva/pupae. Aedes mosquitoes were most commonly observed breeding in plastic tanks, tires, and plastic or metal buckets/bowls. World Health Organization entomological indices classified the study site as high risk for dengue virus outbreaks (House Index = 45.2%, Container Index = 49.4%, and Breteau Index = 129). Time series climate data, specifically rainfall, were found to be significantly predictive of AR (p = 0.035). Study findings highlight the importance of vector control to prevent future DF outbreaks in the region. The scarcity of drinking water and microclimatic conditions may have also contributed to the occurrence of this outbreak.

Las redes sociales se han vuelto el principal aliado de todos los seres humanos en lo que a comunicación e información respecta. Tanto es así que podemos observar cómo distintos planteamientos y formas de interactuar se han trasladado al plano digital. Una de esas formas es la política como medio de difusión y de propaganda electoral en las distintas redes sociales. Este cambio de paradigma ha generado que el político que sepa desenvolverse mejor en las aplicaciones y los programas será el que tenga la ventaja en un terreno electoral. Sin embargo, la política como cualquier disciplina humana que se encargue de comprender el hombre, tienen posiciones criticables en muchos aspectos. Cuando eso sucede, las redes sociales en su gran mayoría toman partido que, en el peor de los casos, generan censuras a ciertos actores políticos. En esa medida, ¿qué parámetros debe tomar la administración de justicia en caso de ponderar derechos de los actores encontrados?

Abstract
Real-time monitoring of clinical carbon beams from a synchrotron accelerator was accomplished by using aluminum-enriched phosphate glass with a silver activator. Build-up effects are often observed in commercially available silver-containing phosphate glass that strongly limit the use of the glass in real-time dosimetry in clinical particle therapy fields. In this study, we modified the composition of silver-containing phosphate glass by adding an additional 0.2 mol% aluminum impurity to cause broadband radioluminescence under clinical carbon beam exposure. Convenient real-time radiation monitoring was accomplished on submillimeter scales by using aluminum-enriched silver-containing phosphate glass beads. Optical fiber dosimetry using the aluminum-enriched silver-containing phosphate glass was demonstrated, and stable radioluminescence was visualized for each bunch of 290 MeV u−1 from a synchrotron under different beam fluxes up to 3 × 109 particles/spill (clinical beam conditions).
In Utero Intervention for Isolated Fetal Pleural Effusion: A Case Report
Authors: Kurdi Wesam , Ibrahim Lina 
Published: November 2022

ABSTRACT
Fetal pleural effusion is a rare condition easily diagnosed by antenatal ultrasound. It can be classified into two categories: primary and secondary. Primary pleural effusion is mainly attributed to defective lymphatic drainage in the fetus. Secondary pleural effusion can be caused by conditions that affect the fetal cardiac function, fetal anemia, fetal infections, chromosomal aberrations, genetic diseases, or congenital malformations that disrupt the lungs and mediastinal architecture. The clinical course is variable depending on the severity, underlying cause, gestational age at diagnosis, and the presence or absence of other congenital abnormalities. We present a case of isolated fetal pleural effusion where in utero therapy included thoracocentesis followed by the insertion of a thoracoamniotic shunt.

Теплова інерційність повітря в салоні міського громадського транспорту з системою кондиціювання
Authors: ЧУЙКО Сергій , КРАВЧЕНКО Олександр 
Published: November 2022

У сучасних умовах енергетична ефективність сприяє підвищенню конкурентоздатності на внутрішньому і міжнародному ринках транспортних послуг. Для України ефективне використання паливно-енергетичних ресурсів є однією із найважливіших задач, що забезпечує енергетичну безпеку і енергонезалежність країни. Специфіка умов експлуатації рухомого складу на міських маршрутах автобусних перевезень У теплу пору року з кондиціонером визначає ряд вимог до конструктивних параметрів самого транспортного засобу і до систем, які забезпечують належний мікроклімат при виконанні транспортного процесу. Характерною особливістю мікроклімату в салонах міських автобусів є нестабільність його параметрів, оскільки температура повітря і облицювальних конструкцій протягом дня може змінюватись до 10˚С і більше. У роботі представлено рішення по перевірці теплової інерції повітря салону міського автобуса для визначення доцільності перегляду використання кондиціонера певної потужності як фактору зниженню енергоємності. При виборі системи управління температурою у салоні слід враховувати реальну теплову інерційність повітряного потоку, який проганяється через салон автобуса кондиціонером. З метою підвищення енергоефективності громадського транспорту у теплу пору року, при роботі з кондиціонером, розглянуто метод економії енергії шляхом перегляду конструкції інтер’єру салону та передбачувану швидкість його охолодження. Отримано результати проведених експлуатаційних випробовувань мікроклімату в громадському транспорті на міських маршрутах при температурі навколишнього середовища від +25 до 34˚С. Встановлено, що поглинання сонячної енергії та теплопровідність є домінуючими факторами конструкцій автобуса, а теплова інерція повітря важливим параметром комфорту та сприяє зменшенню навантаження при нагріванні та охолодженні.
