PASSION Project: Data Collection in Madagascar and Guinea
Authors: Rabenja Fahafahantsoa Rapelanoro 
Published: February 2022

Background
Little data on dermatological conditions presenting on African skin are currently available. This is partly due to the lack of dermatologists in African countries, such as Madagascar and Guinea. There are only 13 dermatologists in Madagascar, or one dermatologist for every 2 million inhabitants. By contrast, the prevalence of common dermatosis is constantly increasing, especially among the pediatric population. According to the World Health Organization, 80% of these skin problems in Africa are grouped into the following 5 pathologies: atopic dermatitis, dermatophytosis, scabies, impetigo, and insect bites.

Objective
In the face of this dilemma, artificial intelligence (AI) is a better tool to collect data on a national scale. Madagascar began participating in the PASSION project in June 2020 and Guinea began participating in January 2021. They join other countries, like Switzerland, Australia, China, India, and Tanzania, who are also using AI in dermatology. This study mainly aimed to compare the 5 pathologies according to the different phototypes characterizing these countries and to collect cases on a national scale that will form a national database. The aim of the data collection is to add 1000 cases per year to the database.

Methods
To increase the number of cases included in phototypes III to VI, two countries were included. A total of 6 data collection sites were set up in Madagascar and one was set up in Guinea. Patients were recruited during dermatology consultations. All patients presenting the 5 pathologies were included. A total of 3 platforms were used to collect data: my.crf.one, IntelliStream, and Derma2go.

Results
A total of 323 cases are currently included in the database for Madagascar, including 76 cases of scabies, 111 cases of atopic dermatitis, 94 cases of dermatophytosis, 35 cases of impetigo and 11 cases of insect bites. The patients’ ages ranged from 2 months to 68 years. A male predominance was noted, with a sex ratio of 1.19 (109 males and 91 females). Phototypes ranged from III to VI. For Guinea, 178 total cases included 32 cases of scabies, 26 cases of atopic dermatitis, 92 cases of dermatophytosis, 3 cases of impetigo, and 25 cases of insect bites. Patients’ ages ranged between 1 year and 70 years, with a male predominance, a sex ratio of 1.54 (108 males and 70 females), and a predominance of phototype VI.

Conclusions
AI is a data collection solution in Africa. However, high bandwidth is needed to employ AI.

La heterosis animal es clave en la obtención de animales más productivos y mejor adaptados al trópico. Sin embargo, el inadecuado manejo genético conlleva a la obtención de mosaicos de razas que incluye la pérdida del potencial productivo del hato. El objetivo de este estudio fue definir la composición racial de bovinos mestizos doble propósito en el piedemonte Llanero departamento del Meta-Colombia. Un total de 126 individuos mestizos (MEZ) de seis hatos fueron evaluados por una aproximación fenotípica (APF) y una genotípica (ARG). Para ARG se incluyeron las razas control asociadas a Bos taurus taurus y Bos taurus indicus, para ello se genotiparon con un chip de GeneSeek GGP-LD de 26K de SNP y se analizaron mediante análisis de componentes principales (PCA) y asignación probabilística bayesiana de ADMIXTURE. Las agrupaciones raciales generadas por APF variaron respecto de ARG. El análisis molecular detectó siete (k= 7) grupos genéticos en la composición racial de los animales de estudio. Las tres razas con mayor participación en la composición racial de los individuos mestizos fueron: Holstein, Gyr, Brahman con 23.4, 21.4, y 21 % respectivamente, mientras que las restantes Blanco Orejinegro, Pardo Suizo, Normando y Jersey no superaron el 13 %. A diferencia de APF, la aproximación ARG permitió de forma efectiva la identificación de la composición racial de bovinos mestizos y suministró información clave en miras de desarrollo de programas de apareamiento que buscan mejorar indicadores productivos, y a su vez propendan por la adaptación de los animales requisito indispensable para los sistemas bovino doble propósito.

Authors: Khafaji Ibrahim Al , Burns Emily , Abusada Ehab , Hashimi Hajir Al , Abed Omar Al-Mula 
Published: February 2022

Background Botulinum toxin was first described in 1895. It is a potent neurotoxin released by clostridium, a gramnegative, anaerobic, rod-shaped bacterium. Initially, it was considered to be the cause of life-threatening disease. However, research demonstrated it to be a novel and effective therapy in managing a range of diseases, including some that affect the urinary bladder. It was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1898. Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the long-term effects of intravesical botulinum toxin A (BTA) injections in patients with an indwelling long-term catheter for detrusor overactivity. The patients selected for this study were experiencing significant catheter-associated symptoms such as bypassing, bladder spasms, intractable pain, blockages, and recurrent infections. Method A retrospective cohort study was conducted in patients that received intravesical BTA after the failure of symptom management using oral anticholinergic and beta 3-adrenocepter agonist. A group of 12 patients was identified, and they were followed up in the clinic after receiving treatment. Results All of the patients included in this study had relief of their symptoms following administration of intravesical BTA. Almost 58% (n = 7) of patients required 3 or fewer treatments with BTA to gain symptom control, with the remaining patients gaining control after 4 treatments. There were no significant adverse events reports with only mild and temporary side effects, such as haematuria, experienced. Conclusion This study demonstrated that intravesical BTA can significantly improve symptoms associated with longterm indwelling catheters and may help avoid more complex and invasive interventions.
Lucidez diante da barbárie

Para comentar o ensaio "Primo Lévi, razão, narração, lacunas”, de Jeanne Marie Gagnebin, exploro a herança iluminista do narrador sóbrio e meticuloso de É isto um homem? e proponho uma aproximação entre esse livro e Dialética do esclarecimento, de Adorno e Horkheimer. Considero que as duas obras, publicadas em 1947, logo após o fim da II Guerra Mundial, lidam com uma questão histórica subjacente: Como o projeto europeu das Luzes, que levou à queda do Antigo Regime e fundamentou as constituições dos Estados democráticos modernos, pode ter resultado no totalitarismo, no fascismo, na barbárie?

OBJECTIVE
To assess the association of sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors with diabetic ketoacidosis compared with dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitors and sulfonylureas in patients with type 2 diabetes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
We conducted a new-user active comparator cohort study to examine two pairwise comparisons: 1) SGLT2 inhibitors versus DPP-4 inhibitors and 2) SGLT2 inhibitors versus sulfonylureas. The main outcome was diabetic ketoacidosis present on hospital admission. We adjusted for confounders through propensity score matching. We used Cox proportional hazards regression with a robust variance estimator to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and corresponding 95% CIs while adjusting for calendar time.

RESULTS
In cohort 1 (n = 85,125 for SGLT2 inhibitors and n = 85,125 for DPP-4 inhibitors), the incidence rates of diabetic ketoacidosis per 1,000 person-years were 6.0 and 4.3 for SGLT2 inhibitors and DPP4 inhibitors, respectively. In cohort 2 (n = 72,436 for SGLT2 inhibitors and n = 72,436 for sulfonylureas), the incidence rates of diabetic ketoacidosis per 1,000 person-years were 6.3 and 4.5 for SGLT2 inhibitors and sulfonylureas, respectively. In Cox proportional hazards regression models, the use of SGLT2 inhibitors was associated with a higher rate of diabetic ketoacidosis compared with DPP-4 inhibitors (adjusted HR [aHR] 1.63; 95% CI 1.36, 1.96) and sulfonylureas (aHR 1.56; 95% CI 1.30, 1.87).

CONCLUSIONS
In this comparative safety study using real-world data, patients with type 2 diabetes who were newly prescribed SGLT2 inhibitors had a higher rate of diabetic ketoacidosis compared with DPP-4 inhibitors and sulfonylureas. Clinicians should be vigilant about this association.

The Use of Froth Flotation for Selective Separation of Plastic Wastes from Soil

Kofi Moro and Dorothy A. Dechie

Abstract — In recycling of plastics, unless the goal is to form composites or materials having special properties, it is not advisable to mix plastics of different kinds because of the differences in their molecular weights and chain lengths. Hence, there is the need to separate these plastics when they are mixed before recycle can be done. This project investigated the selective separation of Polypropylene (PP), Polystyrene (PS) and Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastics out of soils using froth flotation. Pulverized samples were prepared from post-consumer plastic sources (PP, PS and PET) and soil and mixed uniformly to form a composite sample. The composite sample was subjected to froth flotation. Two tests were performed. A first test, where there was no addition of a depressant (tannic acid), and a second test, where there was addition of tannic acid to depress some of the plastics in order to selectively separate them. Recoveries from each test work indicated that, plastics are naturally hydrophobic and can be floated out of soils without modifying their surface properties. However, selective separations of the plastics were achieved when tannic acid was used to modify the surface properties of the plastic types.

Published: February 2022

Progress in drilling engineering demands more sophistication from the drilling mud in order to enhance the usage of drilling fluids, hence numerous additives were introduced, and a simple fluid became a complicated mixture of liquid, solid and chemicals. Some of the challenges with the existing drilling fluid additives has to do with compatibility, degradability, safety, cost, and environmental friendliness. Studies have been carried out on the economic benefits of Cissus Populnea which includes in areas of food, medicine, shelter, and transport but much attention has been paid to its applications in the Oil and Gas industry. This study investigates the rheological properties of Cissus Populnea for application as drilling fluid additive (viscosifier) in Water Based Drilling Mud. Fresh roots, stems and leaves of cissus populnea were sourced from Bayara, Bauchi State. Some liquid exudates of cissus populnea were collected and stored for analysis while some of the samples were dried and grinded in to powdered form. Exudate of the samples were characterized by FTIR, XRD and XRF. Drilling mud was formulated with the samples cisssus populnea and bentonite at different temperatures. The rheology of the formulated drilling mud was investigated and compared with that formulated using bentonite and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC). Results from X-ray Fluorescence analysis show that the chemical composition of Cissus populnea stem and root are similar when comparing their major components (In2O3 and CaO), while that of leaf has its major components to be In2O3 and Cl. Therefore, in this research work, experiments were conducted with only stem and leaf since stem and roots have common features. From the results of FTIR spectra, the stem of cissus populnea has an OH peak wavelength of 3487.42 cm-1 while that of leave is 3340.82 cm-1. The diffractogram of the stem of cissus populnea was observed at 2q = 22.67o which is very close to that of CMC (2? = 20.31o) while the intense peaks of leaf were observed at around 28.65o. Viscosity of cissus populnea was investigated and found to be decreasing with the increase in temperature for stem exudate. While for leaf exudate, the viscosity was rather increasing with the increase in temperature at temperatures below 35 oC and then continue to decrease with the increase in temperature. The outcome of this research has confirmed the applicability of cissus populnea for drilling fluid additives, viscosifier.

Published: February 2022

Effects of inclination and free convection on velocity profile for magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) fluid flow in an inclined cylindrical pipe has been investigated. The governing partial differential equations are the equations of continuity, momentum and energy which are converted into ordinary differential equation by employing similarity transformation and solved numerically by the Runge- Kutta fourth order scheme with shooting method. The findings, which are presented in the form of tables and graphs reveal that; when Hartmann number, Grashoff number and Gamma are decreased, the velocity of the fluid increases. The results of the study may be useful for the different model investigations, especially, in various areas of science and technology in which optimal inclination and free convection are utilized.

O MONITORAMENTO DA MECÂNICA PULMONAR NA VENTILAÇÃO MECÂNICA
Authors: Cristina Moreira Damázio Laila 
Published: February 2022

Introdução: A ventilação mecânica (VM) é utilizada para auxiliar na ventilação de um paciente crítico em diversas situações clínicas, porém, o manejo incorreto está associado as Lesões Pulmonares Induzidas pelo Ventilador (LPIV), principalmente quando se trata de paciente com comprometimento pulmonar. A Síndrome do Desconforto Respiratório Agudo (SDRA) é uma condição que tem seu tratamento diretamente relacionado a VM, uma vez que o ventilador mecânico reduz o desconforto respiratório. Estratégias de VM protetora vêm sendo utilizadas devido aumento da taxa de sobrevida, e tais estratégias visam ao Volume Corrente (VC) com números menores e PEEP elevadas evitando o colapso alveolar e reduzindo as tensões em tecidos pulmonares prevenindo as lesões induzidas por um manejo incorreto da VM. Objetivo: Investigar a relação entre o monitoramento da mecânica pulmonar durante a utilização da ventilação mecânica e a ocorrência de lesão pulmonar induzida pela ventilação. Métodos: Revisão sistemática utilizando as bases de dados da Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde, MEDLINE, Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS). Os descritores foram: “ventilação mecânica”, “lesão pulmonar induzida por ventilação mecânica”, “mecânica respiratória”. Foi utilizado o operador boleano “AND”, selecionados artigos nas línguas portuguesas, inglesas e espanhol nos últimos 10 anos. Conclusão: Para um bom prognóstico, é necessário o reconhecimento da condição pulmonar, a interação multidisciplinar, o conhecimento das condições clínicas da patologia e o manejo correto dos parâmetros ventilatórios. A VM protetora se mostrou benéfica afim de evitar as LPIV, preconizando VC baixo e monitorização da DP.
