Authors: Alston Celeste , Marín Carlos , Jiménez Alejandro , Castro Jorge 
Published: April 2022

Objetivo: Describir los principales hallazgos clínicos y urodinámicos en pacientes con vejiga neurogénica manejados con toxina botulínica.
Materiales y métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional retrospectivo en un solo centro con revisión expedientes clínicos, estudios urodinámicos e imágenes de pacientes con vejiga neurogénica, comparando hallazgos antes y después de la aplicación de onabotulinumtoxina A.
Resultados: En 36 pacientes se colocó onabotulinumtoxina A de forma ambulatoria, en pacientes pediátricos entre los 3 y los 15 años, a dosis de 10 UI/Kg con dosis máxima de 200 UI; sin reportase complicaciones postoperatorias mayores. Todos los pacientes tenían vejiga neurogénica secundaria a disrrafismo espinal y se las había dado manejo con antimuscarinicos y cateterismo intermitente.
Dentro de los hallazgos clínicos observamos disminución del escape entre cateterismos luego de la aplicación. En los urodinamicos observamos aumento en la capacidad cistometrica, disminución de la presión de detrusor a la capacidad máxima, con escape a volúmenes más alto con significancia estadística en las variables mencionadas.
Conclusiones: Las inyecciones de onabotulinumtoxina A mejoraron significativamente no solo los síntomas clínicos, sino también los parámetros urodinámicos en pacientes con vejiga neurogénica secundaria a disrrafismo espinal. Esta es una técnica simple, con efectos adversos mínimos y generalmente es bien tolerada.
Projet de Disposition sur les règles applicables à la Déontologie dans les arbitrages internationaux et Projet de Code de conduite
Authors: Dessemontet François 
Published: April 2022

Summary:
Conflicts of Rules of Ethics are common in international arbitration. The method to determine which rules on conduct are applicable for a given arbitration matter may follow the better known conflict rules of the European tradition of international private law.Characteristics of ethical rules will be taken into account, for example with regards to the consequences of their violation and the determination of the interests which are furthered by rules of ethics. The autonomy of the parties leads to admit their own common choice of given rules of ethics, even if it has to be implied from the circumstances. In the absence of choice, Counsels are subject to the rules which are common to all of them if they are not indequate in international arbitration, otherwise to the lex arbitri. The relations between each Counsel and his client are subject to the choice of the parties to these relationships.Reviews may be made by the Court of Appeal having jurisdiction for the award or by the Court of Recognition and Enforcement of the award.The appended draft Code of Conduct for Arbitration Proceedings Taking Place in Switzerland is aimed at showing that specific rules of ethics for international proceedings are conceivable.
Procédure de liquidation dune partie, arbitrage et droit daccès à la justice : vers une réconciliation ?
Authors: Poloni Flore , Dupeyron Carine 
Published: April 2022

Arbitration and the insolvent party, finally back together? At the end of 2011, the Paris Court of Appeal was confronted with the issue of the validity of an arbitral award rendered in a case where the defendant, a company that was being liquidated, could not pay the advance on cost and accordingly had its counterclaims withdrawn from the proceedings in application of the ICC Arbitration Rules (the "Pirelli" case). The Paris Court of Appeal annulled the award on the basis that, since the possibility of reintroducing the claim was only theoretical due to the liquidation, the withdrawal of the counterclaim amounted to a denial of justice. However, further to the recourse filed by the claimant, the French Supreme Court narrowed the scope of the Paris Court of Appeal's decision. Specifically, the French Supreme Court determined that, when the advance on costs for counterclaims was not paid, the arbitral tribunal was only compelled to examine claims that are "inseparable" from the main claim ("indissociables" in French). If the option chosen by the Supreme Court therefore favors the binding nature of arbitration, it does not yet provide a solution to claimants who are not able to fund arbitration proceedings and only allows insolvent parties to present claims that can be considered as defenses to the main claims. Before the Supreme Court rendered its decision in the Pirelli case, the Paris Court of Appeal was confronted with a case where a company called Lola Fleurs asked it to decide that an arbitration agreement was inapplicable because of its own inability to pay arbitration costs. Although the Paris Court of Appeal decided to apply the negative effect of the competence-competence principle and comfort the strength of the agreement to arbitrate, it also took this opportunity to affirm that in all cases, the arbitral tribunal is responsible for granting the parties an access to justice.
Recent Developments on the Doctrine of Res Judicata in International Arbitration from a Swiss Perspective: A Call for a Harmonized Solution
Authors: Voser Nathalie 
Published: April 2022

The Swiss Federal Tribunal has recently rendered three decisions addressing the issue of res judicata in the context of international arbitration, opening the door to possible developments of the doctrine of res judicata as applied in international arbitrations seated in Switzerland. This article elaborates on the Swiss Federal Tribunal's latest decisions on the topic and endeavors to challenge some of the core principles of the doctrine of res judicata as developed in the Swiss practice. The authors propose that arbitral tribunals apply the provisions of the lex arbitri (instead of Article II(3) New York Convention) when examining the requirement of recognition of a foreign state court judgment where an exceptio arbitri was raised in the first proceedings. The article also puts in question one of the key holdings of the Swiss Federal Tribunal, i.e. the application of the Swiss lex fori to the issue of res judicata by an arbitral tribunal seated in Switzerland. Rather than the strict principles of res judicata as developed by the Swiss Federal Tribunal, the authors suggest that arbitral tribunals seated in Switzerland should use their procedural discretion and develop autonomous rules which are more generally recognized and thereby seek to define the core content of the principle of res judicata. In doing so, and in the absence of internationally applicable rules, arbitral tribunals can promote harmonized principles of res judicata better designed for international arbitration than particular national rules.
Enforcement of Arbitral Awards under the New York Convention in Switzerland  An overview of the current practice and case law of the Swiss Supreme Court
Authors: Kunz Catherine Anne 
Published: April 2022

This article presents an overview of the current practice and case law of the Swiss Supreme Court in relation to the implementation of the 1958 New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards. More specifically, this article examines the decisions rendered by the Swiss Supreme Court over the period 2000-2016. Decisions are discussed in relation to the relevant provision of the Convention on an article-by-article basis. For each provision of the Convention, a short commentary is included highlighting the relevant requirements and thresholds that need to be met in light of the recent case law of the Swiss Supreme Court in order for a party to obtain or to successfully resist the recognition and enforcement of a foreign award in Switzerland. The decisions of the Swiss Supreme Court rendered during the period under review are of particular interest as the Supreme Court has examined several Convention provisions for the first time, whilst confirming, clarifying and even overturning its earlier case law. These decisions confirm that Swiss courts continue to take a liberal, pragmatic and pro-enforcement approach to the New York Convention in practice.
Stay of arbitration proceedings  Some examples from arbitral practice
Authors: Groselj Luka 
Published: April 2022

This article outlines a number of situations, illustrated by practical and thus far unpublished cases, in which parties requested arbitral tribunals to decide on a stay of the arbitration proceedings. The most frequently invoked reason that would justify a stay is the existence of on-going parallel proceedings. A number of other circumstances can also lead the parties to apply for a stay, e.g., pending payment of security for costs or clarification of the opposing party’s representation. As the reviewed cases demonstrate, arbitral tribunals have no legal obligation to grant a stay and exercise a full and unfettered discretion to decide whether a stay request is well-founded. In principle, a stay will only be granted if exceptional reasons or circumstances exist. There are four guiding criteria that would be generally taken into account by arbitral tribunals when seized with a stay request. First, the external circumstances must have a clear impact on the arbitration. Second, the interests and intentions of the parties to the arbitration must be assessed with due regard to the principles of fairness and due process. Third, a stay should not negatively affect procedural efficiency. Finally, arbitral tribunals must ensure that the proceedings will be conducted without any undue delay.
The Effect of Online QuizWhisser Game on Knowledge and Level of Fish Consumption in Overweight Adolescents in Surakarta
Authors: Berek Euphrasia Pelletier , Kusnandar  , Anantanyu Sapja 
Published: April 2022

Obesity is the accumulation of excessive fat which causes the overweight. Obesity or overweight in terms of health is a disease of malnutrition, as a result of food consumption that far exceeds its needs. To overcome it, knowledge needs to be increased as a precaution by conducting nutrition education. The sampling technique used is purposive sampling, followed by random sampling that is used to determine the sample. The respondents consist of 68 junior high school students in Surakarta City. First, the subjects are screened using a google form containing several questions regarding personal data. Then, the adolescents who had a z-score >1 SD were used as the research samples. The results of statistical tests after nutrition education in the control groups and the treatment group showed that there is a significant difference in nutritional knowledge (p = 0.000) while the results of statistical tests on fish consumption levels in the two groups showed that there is no difference and no significant effect was indicated by (p-value > 0.05). Conclusion: Nutrition talks and quizwhisser games about the importance of fish consumption affect the nutritional knowledge of overweight adolescents. However, they do not affect the level of fish consumption in overweight adolescents.
Use of microorganisms, enzymes and plant proteases for heavy metals biomonitoring- a mini review
Authors: Kaira Mustafa , Halmi M.I.E. , Shukor M.Y. 
Published: April 2022

Heavy metals are toxic elements that are beneficial in industrial process but are toxic to organisms at certain levels once they enter the environment. Hence their monitoring are urgently important. Instrumental analyses are the current accepted method but are cumbersome, time-consuming, expensive and required highly-skilled technical personnel to operate them. Assays using microorganism and their products such as enzymes are beginning to emerge as plausible methods for preliminary screening followed by instrumental methods. This approach cut costs and time but the challenge is to find a robust enzyme system that could withstand variation in environmental conditions and sampling. Various enzymes such as urease, acetylcholinesterase, invertase and glucose oxidase have been used but their activity is strongly affected by extreme variation of pHs and temperature often associated with real samples. The plant proteases such as papain and bromelain have been proven to be robust enzymes for the detection of heavy metals and are the subject of this mini review.
A one dimensional PAGE studies on <i>Puntius javanicus</i> liver proteome affected by copper toxicity
Authors: Sabullah Mohd Khalizan , Ahmad Fisal , Gansau Azlan Jualang , Sulaiman Mohd Rosni 
Published: April 2022

Observations on the effects of copper on the liver proteome of Puntius javanicusÂ based on the one dimensional PAGE was carried out. The liver was dissected from each fish, which was separately treated with different concentrations of copper sulfate ranging from 0.1 to 5.0 mg/L. The livers were extracted and one dimensional PAGE was performed under nonreducing (native) and reducing (SDS)-PAGE. Several bands were resolved in the native PAGE with probable candidates for the effect of copper observed showing an increased in the expression and downregulation strongly associated with increasing copper concentrations. This study showed that high concentrations of copper significantly alters P. Javanicus liver at the proteome level, and preliminary screening based on one dimensional PAGE is considered rapid and simple to assess the toxicity effect of copper before more advanced and extensive assesment with a second dimensional PAGE is carried out.

Published: April 2022

Millions of tonnes of organonitriles are produced annually for use in industry. They are carcinogenic and mutagenic. Bioremediation of acetonitrile, an organonitrile, has been touted as a more economical and feasible method compared to physical and chemical approaches. In this work, we model the growth of growth of Paracoccus sp. SKG on acetonitrile from publishedliterature to obtain vital growth constants. We discovered that the Buchanan-three-phase model via nonlinear regression utilizing the least square method was the very best model to explain the growth curve. Nonlinear regression utilizing the least square method typically utilizes the idea that data points usually do not depend upon each other or the value of a data point is notdetermined by the value of previous or proceeding data points or usually do not display autocorrelation. In this work, the Durbin-Watson statistic to check for the presence of autocorrelation in the growth model was carried out.

Authors: Tan Niu Jin , Mohd Jamil Amilia Afzan , Mohtarrudin Norhafizah , Raksha Sunhare , Thilakavathy Karuppiah 
Published: April 2022

Preterm delivery (PTD) is commonly caused by intraamniotic infection and inflammation (IAI)Â and is one of the leading causes of maternal and neonatal morbidity or mortality worldwide. IAIÂ in pregnant women with high risk of PTD can be classified according to the membrane status;Â preterm labour with intact membranes (PLIM) and preterm pre-labour rupture of membranesÂ (PPROM). At present, the treatment for PTD-associated IAI is principally based on antibiotictherapy. However, this therapy is found to be only beneficial to PPROM. Several IAI relatedÂ protein biomarkers have been identified. Unfortunately, most of the studies that discovered theÂ biomarkers focused on categorising term delivery and PTD-associated IAI, and to a lesser extentÂ on the membrane status. Therefore, identifying a panel of highly sensitive and specific proteinÂ biomarkers that are able to discriminate IAI pregnant women at high risk of PTD with PLIMÂ from PPROM are urgently needed to improve the treatment benefits. Over the past decade,Â proteomics technologies have been applied widely in identifying PTD-associated IAI biomarkers.Â This review brings together information on PTD-associated IAI protein biomarkers and touchesÂ on the combination of multivariable biomarkers to develop a more sensitive and specificÂ biomarkers to discriminate PTD-associated IAI with PLIM from PPROM. ProteomicsÂ technologies and its workflow on protein biomarkers discovery are also included in this review.

Authors: Salmiati . , Salim Mohd Razman , Ujang Zaini , Dahalan Farrah Aini , Olsson Gustaf 
Published: April 2022

A novel method was developed to convert complex polymer organic waste intoÂ polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs). Palm oil mill effluent (POME) was used as carbon sourceÂ within this study. The designed laboratory scale system includes two coupled reactors; anÂ anaerobic fermenter for volatile fatty acids (VFAs) production followed by an aerobicÂ sequencing batch reactor (SBR) to obtain PHA. During fermentation, VFAs was produced in theÂ range of 5 to 7g/L and the COD reduction was up to 80% from 65g/L at a sludge retention timeÂ (SRT) of 6 days. Acetic acid was the predominant component of the fermentative VFAs. In theÂ succeeding aerobic SBR with a mixed culture, microaerophilic-aerobic conditions increase theÂ PHA production. PHA, analyzed as PHB, reached up to 4.0 x 10-2 g/gVSS. The maximum PHAÂ content observed was only 40% of cell dried weight (CDW). The indication is that the PHAÂ production and process performance will benefit from a mixed microbial culture.

Published: April 2022

HCV infection is a major health problem in Egypt. Studies using safe natural products BlueÂ greenÂ® tablet showed its antiviral effect. Polymorphisms in the interleukin-28B (IL28B) geneÂ are associated with outcomes from infection with HCV. The rationale of the present study is toÂ evaluate the potential role of interleukin 28B gene polymorphism (IL28B) and natural immuneenhancer treatment response in chronic HCV patients. This study included 100 chronic HCVÂ patients. Patients were classified into two groups: Group I, fifty patients with cirrhosis andÂ advanced liver disease. Patients were unfit INF/ Ribavirin: Group II, fifty patients who refusedÂ INF/Ribavirin. Patients were treated with combination of natural products of Blue greenÂ® tabletÂ (4 tablets daily which equivalent to 100 mg AFA/30 kg BW), vitamin D, tea spoon field paste ofÂ black seeds, olive oil and honey. Alanine Aminotransferase (AST), Aspartate AminotransferaseÂ (ALT), complete blood count (CBC) were measured in the two groups. Detection of HCV-RNAÂ level by quantitative PCR was done before & after 3, 6, 12 and 18 months of treatment. GenomicÂ DNA extracted from all the 100 patientâ€™s blood samples was analyzed for the rs12979860 SNPof IL28B using a real-time polymerase chain technique incorporating SYBR Green. The resultsÂ showed that, the activities of hepatic marker enzymes (AST and ALT), complete blood picturesÂ (Hb, WBCs and Platelets), HCV RNA PCR, IL 28-B gene polymorphism were non-significantlyÂ (p>0.05) differences when compared untreated patients (Group I) and treated patients (Group )were CC genotype before treatment was 8 (34%) & was 13 (26%) after treatment, CT genotypeÂ before treatment was 26 (52%) & was 28 (56%) after treatment, TT genotype before treatmentÂ was 7 (14%) & was 9 (18%) after treatment. Also, there were non-significant (p>0.05)Â differences between responder & non-responder in treated patients. In conclusion, the treatmentwith natural immune enhancer in chronic HCV patients showed no significance correlation withÂ IL 28 gene polymorphism
Expression of recombinant E1 Glycoprotein of Chikungunya virus in Baculovirus expression system
Authors: Henry Sum Magdline Sia , Andrew Anna , Maling Milda Aren 
Published: April 2022

Chikungunya is an acute febrile illness caused by chikungunya virus (CHIKV). In this study, theÂ envelope E1 gene of CHIKV was cloned and expressed in a baculovirus system. TheÂ recombinant E1 protein with N-term 6-His residues protein was successfully expressed andÂ purified as confirmed by SDS-PAGE and western blot analysis. The seroreactivity of theÂ recombinant protein was evaluated in immunoassay for anti-CHIKV IgM and IgG antibodies.Â The recombinant antigen showed 69% sensitivity and 100% specificity for anti-CHIKV IgG byÂ dot blot assay. Detection of anti-CHIKV IgM by dot assay showed 79% sensitivity and 100%Â specificity. No cross reactivity of the antigen was observed with anti-dengue virus serumÂ samples. The results strongly support that the recombinant E1 protein has potential to be used asÂ diagnostic antigen. The used of the antigen in a dot blot assay gives an advantage for laboratoryÂ detection without the need of any specialised equipment.
