Published: November 2022

Kepok banana has been widely used as processed food by the community. The utilization of climacteric fruit is still limited to the use of fruit flesh. The banana peel, which still contains beneficial components like pectin, will therefore be wasted. In this study, pectin from banana peels is processed into an edible coating which will be used as a coating that will be applied to tomatoes. This objective of the study was to determine the best pectin extraction temperature which ranged from 70°, 80°, to 90℃ and the effect of edible coating of pectin extracted from kepok banana peel on the shelf life of tomatoes. Observation of the shelf life of tomatoes was carried out by observing weight loss and vitamin C content in tomatoes. The pectin extraction process and physiological characteristics of tomatoes were studied quantitatively for this study, and the physical characteristics of tomatoes were studied qualitatively throughout the course of 21 days. Based on the results of research on pectin extraction, a temperature of 90°C was discovered to be the best temperature for pectin extraction compared to temperatures of 70° and 80°. At 90℃, the amount of pectin produced was about 2.98%. Based on observations of fruit weight loss and vitamin C content in tomatoes, research on the shelf life of tomatoes revealed that edible coatings had no significant effect on fruit weight loss or vitamin C content. The results of observations of tomatoes at a temperature of 27℃ showed that vitamin C content of tomatoes coated with edible coating decreased by 6.1%, while at a temperature of 10℃, vitamin C content of tomatoes with edible coatings increased by 1.8%.

<p> </p>
<p><strong>Objectives</strong></p>
<p>To pilot test a mental health chatbot designed to screen users for psychological distress and refer to resources, addressing the strain on the U.S. behavioral healthcare workforce and exacerbated behavioral health challenges among U.S. adults due to COVID-19.</p>
<p><strong>Methods</strong></p>
<p>Data were collected via a national, cross-sectional, internet-based survey of U.S. adults. Measures included demographics, symptoms, stigma, technology acceptance, willingness to use the chatbot, and chatbot acceptability. Relationships between these variables were explored using chi-square tests, correlations, and logistic regression.</p>
<p><strong>Results</strong></p>
<p>Of 222 participants, 75.7% completed mental health screening within the chatbot. Participants found the chatbot to be acceptable. Demographic predictors of chatbot use included being White or Black/African American, identifying as Hispanic/Latino, having dependents, having insurance coverage, having used mental health services in the past, having a diagnosed mental health condition, and reporting current distress. Logistic regression produced a significant model with perceived usefulness and symptoms as significant positive predictors of chatbot use for the overall sample, and label avoidance as the only significant predictor of chatbot use for those currently experiencing distress.</p>
<p><strong>Discussion</strong></p>
<p>Chatbot technology may be a feasible and acceptable way to screen large numbers of people for psychological distress and disseminate mental health resources. Since label avoidance was identified as the single significant predictor of chatbot use among currently distressed individuals, chatbot technology may be one way to circumnavigate stigma as a barrier to engagement in behavioral health care.</p>
<p><strong>Limitations</strong></p>
<p>Recruitment through Amazon’s mTurk limits generalizability of our findings, and chi-square test effect sizes were small.</p>

Authors: Shrestha A. L. , Adhikari G. 
Published: November 2022

Background Mesenteric adenitis in children (≤ 18 years) can present with varied findings often causing a diagnostic confusion. In children, considering the inadequacies in history and physical examination, an accurate clinic-radiological diagnosis backed up with laboratory data as indicated becomes important to avoid misdiagnosis and futile interventions.
Objective To study the profile of children evaluated for acute abdominal pain and diagnosed as mesenteric adenitis.
Method A retrospective review of children with abdominal symptoms, diagnosed to have mesenteric adenitis between January 2018 and December 2020.
Result A total of 85 patients (63 males, 22 females) were identified presenting at mean age of 6 years (range 4 months-16 years). Primary Mesenteric Adenitis (PA) was found in 62, Secondary Mesenteric Adenitis (SA) in 11 and Complicated Primary Mesenteric Adenitis (CPA) was identified in 12. All with PA responded well to supportive care. Those with SA were treated for the primary cause and the ones with Complicated Primary Mesenteric Adenitis were managed by treating the complication. All had a favorable outcome.
Conclusion When managing a child with abdominal pain, mesenteric adenitis should be considered. Once clinically suspected, tailored management approach results in fruitful outcome.

Background Deep neck infections are severe infections in potential spaces and fascial planes of the neck. Despite antibiotic therapy, these infections continue to cause significant morbidity and mortality.
Objective To determine the clinical features, predisposing factors, socio demographic factors and complications associated with deep neck infections.
Method Prospective study conducted in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Kathmandu University Dhulikhel Hospital between March 2018 and June 2020. Seventy-five patients with deep neck infections were enrolled.
Result Submandibular abscess was most frequently observed (41.3%), followed by submental abscess (25.3%), parotid abscess(9.3%), ludwig’s angina (6.7%), posterior triangle of neck abscess (4%), retropharyngeal abscess (2.7%), parapharyngeal space abscess (2.7%), and multiple space infections (8%). Staphylococcus aureus was the most common organism (53.3%), followed by Beta hemolytic Streptococcus (12%) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (12%). A negative culture was seen in 22.7%. Sixty-eight percent of patients underwent incision and drainage. Incision and drainage with dental extraction was done in 26.7%, four percent underwent incision and drainage with debridement and dental extraction, whereas 1.3% underwent incision and drainage with tracheostomy. Eight percent patients required Intensive care unit admission. Seven patients had descending mediastinitis, four out of which developed sepsis. When age and duration of hospital stay were correlated by using Pearson correlation coefficient, a remarkable correlation was observed (p=.020). Noteworthy relationship was not observed between different locations of deep neck infections and duration of hospital stay (p=.202).
Conclusion Early identification of deep neck infections is often challenging. Proper knowledge and extreme vigilance is necessary when dealing with these complex entities to avoid life-threatening complications.

Published: November 2022

Background Sense of coherence (SOC) is a core concept of salutogenesis which relates to individuals’ overall life orientation. Stronger SOC associates with better coping strategies, better health, and better quality of life. Although the SOC-questionnaire is validated in many cultures and languages, it has not, to date, been applied in Nepal.
Objective To determine and evaluate women’s SOC before and after a health education intervention.
Method This study was conducted as a part of the Heart-health Associated Research, Dissemination, and Intervention in the Community in the semi-urban Jhaukhel- Duwakot Health Demographic Surveillance Site in Nepal. Jhaukhel and Duwakot were selected as the control and intervention areas, respectively. Participants were women with children aged 1-7 years. Eight hundred and fifty-seven women before and 1,268 women after the health education intervention participated in the study. The statistical analysis was carried out with chi-square tests and one-way uni-variate ANOVA.
Result Women’s total SOC mean values at baseline were 51.1-57.4 and at follow up 54.4-54.9 in the intervention and control area, respectively. At baseline, SOC was significantly weaker in the intervention area compared to the control area (p < 0.001). At follow-up three months later, SOC was significantly stronger in the intervention area than in the control area (p < 0.001).
Conclusion Nepalese women had weaker SOC than women in high-income countries, but comparable to neighboring country India with similar cultural features. Empowerment of women through community participation and health education strengthened SOC. The SOC-13-questionnaire in its Nepali version is recommended to be further evaluated.

Production and productivity of corn inoculated with Azospirillum brasilense fertilized with chicken bed

ABSTRACT: Appropriate forms of plant nutrition, combined with the use of microorganisms that promote plant growth, is important to achieve balance and sustainability in agriculture. In this work, the main effects on corn as a function of seed inoculation with A. brasilense associated with fertilization with chicken litter were studied. The work was carried out in the field, in two areas, with an experimental design in randomized blocks, in a 2x6 scheme. The first factor was inoculation with A. brasilense and control. The second factor was six doses of chicken litter, established by the fertilization recommendation, using 0, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250% of the recommended dose for each area. At 60 days after sowing, morphometric analyzes were performed, such as plant height and stem diameter, stem dry matter mass plus sheath and leaf. At stage R6, approximately 150 days after sowing, the mass of a thousand grains and yield were determined. Chicken litter positively influenced yield, height and basal stem diameter and shoot dry mass of corn. A. brasilense promoted the increase in leaf mass, positively influencing the mass of a thousand grains and maize yield.

OBJECTIVE
To investigate the validity and reliability of the Birth Satisfaction Scale – Revised (BSS-R) and to adapt it into the Igbo language.

MATERIALS AND METHODS
A cross-sectional study was done among 500 women who delivered at Alex Ekwueme Federal University Teaching hospital Abakaliki between 1st March 2019 and 31st August 2019. The BSS-R questionnaire was used for data collection in the postnatal ward. Data obtained were analyzed using SPSS version 20. The properties of the scale were tested by conducting reliability and validation analyses. The level of significance is a P-value of <0.05.

RESULTS
The mean age of the women was 28.8±4.7 years; the majority (230, 46.0%) were between the age group of 30 – 40 years. Three-fifth of the study participant had formal education. The majority (460, 92.0%) were multipara and had delivered mostly (326, 65.2%) at Full Term. Three Component loading was identified in the Scale. Examination of the pattern matrix showed three components/themes: support by staff during labour (I felt well supported by staff during my labour and birth (r = 0.875); parturient confidence during labour (I felt out of control during my birth experience (r = 0.714) and distraught during labour (I was not distressed at all during labour (r = 0.821). Communality value (r2) mostly ranged between 0.507 and 0.801. The scale had a Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of 0.62. This increased to 0.70 following the removal of “I was not distressed at all during labour” responses from the analysis.

CONCLUSION
The Igbo version of BSS-R has good internal consistency. It is a valid and reliable scale to be employed in assessing maternal satisfaction among Igbo-speaking women in the study area and Nigeria in general.

Published: November 2022

Introducción. El material particulado se constituye en uno de los criterios más transcendentales al momento de evaluar la contaminación del aire, debido a la gran diversidad de fuentes que lo pueden producir y a los efectos que tiene sobre la salud. Objetivo. El presente estudio tuvo por objetivo evaluar el material particulado PM2.5 y PM10, en la temporalidad horario, mensual, estacional y anual y la correlación con las variables meteorológicas en la zona del Distrito Metropolitano de Quito-Ecuador, en el periodo 2013-2020. Metodología. La base de datos y variables meteorológicas se obtuvieron de dos estaciones de monitoreo, Belisario y Carapungo, que están distribuidas en la zona de estudio. Se realizó un análisis exploratorio y correlación simple para 65718 datos de PM2.5 en Belisario, 66191 datos para PM2.5 en Carapungo y 61152 datos de PM10 en Carapungo. Resultados. Los resultados evidencian que la estación de Carapungo presenta mayor concentración de material particulado respecto a la estación Belisario. La relación PM2.5/PM10 de la estación Carapungo es de 0.41 de material fino anisotrópico, que comparados con algunas ciudades como Perú, Colombia, México y Chile es similar. Respecto a las correlaciones el PM2.5 y PM10 presentan una correlación significativa con la temperatura, humedad relativa, dirección del viento y precipitación, pero difieren en las dos estaciones. Conclusiones. Se concluye que el material particulado PM2.5 y PM10 en el área analizada no depende de factores climáticos, sino más bien, puede deberse a la topografía especifica de la zona la cual se encuentra caracterizada por estar rodeada de bosques, volcanes y montañas.
