Authors: Ghea Cornelia , Wardhana Ardyan , Nugroho Alfredo , Assilmi Fika Humaeda 
Published: November 2022

ABSTRACT

Objectives:
Anticoagulants have been used as therapeutic or prophylactic agents in COVID-19 and seem to be more beneficial. However, the advantage of oral anticoagulant (OAC) consumption before visit in lowering mortality in COVID-19 patients remains debatable. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effect of OAC use before visit on mortality using the hazard ratio (HR) to estimate the effect of time-to-event endpoints.

Materials and Methods:
We conducted a literature search in the PubMed and ProQuest databases for any studies comparing groups consuming OAC to no-OAC before visit for mortality in patients with COVID-19. We calculated the overall HRs and their variances across the studies using the random-effects model to obtain pooled estimates.

Results:
We included 12 studies which had sample sizes ranging from 70 to 459,402 patients. A meta-analysis comparing OAC therapy and non-OAC consumption in COVID-19 patients before visit revealed no decrease in all-cause mortality (HR = 0.92, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.83–1.02, P = 0.12; I
2 = 68%). However, subgroup analysis of laboratory-confirmed populations revealed that OAC use before visit had a beneficial effect on mortality (HR = 0.84, 95% CI: 0.73–0.98, P = 0.02; I
2 = 56%).

Conclusion:
The use of OAC before visit had no beneficial effect on all-cause mortality in COVID-19 patients.

Abstract

Objectives:
This study aimed to assess the impact of small for gestational age (SGA) on the development of Taiwanese preschool children using the Chinese Child Developmental Inventory (CCDI).

Materials and Methods:
A total of 982 children were enrolled in this study between June 2011 and December 2015. The samples were divided into two groups: SGA (n = 116, mean age = 2.98) and non-SGA (n = 866, mean age = 3.33) groups. The development scores were based on the CCDI, which consist of eight dimensions of development between the two groups. The linear regression analysis was adopted to examine the relationship of SGA with child development.

Results:
On average, the children in the SGA group scored less in all eight subitems of the CCDI than those in the non-SGA group. However, regression analysis revealed that there was no significant difference in both performance and delay frequency in the CCDI between the two groups.

Conclusion:
SGA children had similar developmental scores in CCDI as non-SGA children for preschool age in Taiwan.
A multiplicative Kowalski–Słodkowski theorem for -algebras
Authors: Touré Cheick , Brits Rudi , Sebastian Geethika 
Published: November 2022

AbstractWe present here a multiplicative version of the classical Kowalski–Słodkowski theorem, which identifies the characters among the collection of all functionals on a complex and unital Banach algebra A. In particular, we show that, if A is a
$C^\star $
-algebra, and if
$\phi :A\to \mathbb C $
is a continuous function satisfying
$ \phi (x)\phi (y) \in \sigma (xy) $
for all
$x,y\in A$
(where
$\sigma $
denotes the spectrum), then either
$\phi $
is a character of A or
$-\phi $
is a character of A.

Authors: Dongo E Isaac , Momoh I Monday , Banabars A Abel 
Published: November 2022

Purpose: In this work, the effect of indigenously sourced baobab leaf and root was experimented on the substrate of inter-critically developed dual phase steel in 0.3M H2SO4.
Methodology: Standard techniques were adopted in carrying out the development and the corrosion experiments. Weight loss method was adopted and the corrosion rate eventually estimated following a standard route.
Findings: From the results, it was observed that inter-critical heat treatment technique can be used to develop dual phase steel with a competing properties with the conventional dual phase steel. The use of baobab leaf and root extracts was also observed to serve as an organic inhibitor for dual phase steel having observed that the percentage inhibition efficiency (% IE) increases with increase in the soaking temperature of the developed DPS.
Recommendation: The use of baobab leaf and root is thus recommended as alternative organic inhibitor to impede corrosion rate in DPS.

Experimental Investigation of Heat and Fluid Flow Characteristics on Expanded Metal Mesh Roughened Solar Collector
Authors: Ayalew Yewondwosen Gzate 
Published: November 2022

Solar air heater is used for agricultural grain products drier, curing of industrial products and for other systems requiring low grade thermal energy. Their usefulness and quantitative energy collections has been limited. This is because of low thermal efficiency with primarily as a result of low convective heat transfer coefficient, between the absorber plate and air leading to higher plate temperature. This results greater thermal energy losses. Experimental investigation has been conducted to study heat transfer enhancement by using small diameter wire ribs on absorber plate of solar air heater duct, with the roughened wall exposed to the glazing side while the remaining 3 walls were insulated. The roughened wall has relative roughness height (e/Dh) 0.0135 - 0.0406, relative roughness pitch (p/e) 10 - 20, rib height 0.5 - 1.5 mm, expanded metal mesh (L/e) 25 - 75, Short way mesh (S/e) 15 - 45, angle of attack 45° for inclined configuration, duct aspect ratio of 12 and the air flow rate corresponds to Reynolds number between 2,000 to 18,000. It has been found that the heat transfer coefficient could be improved by a factor up to 2.2 and the friction factor had been found to increase by a factor of 1.2 times that of the smooth duct. The investigation emphasized that the secondary flow rolling along the inclined ribs is responsible for higher heat transfer rates. Thermal efficiency increased from 50.58 - 65.75 %. Finally, correlation is developed for both Nusselt number and friction factor using sigma plot software, which can be selected by the designer for a given operating condition.
HIGHLIGHTS

At the moment agricultural products are spoiled due to poor dryer
A solar air heater with expanded metal mesh roughened solar collector is designed, manufactured and experimental test is conducted

Empagliflozin (Jardiance)
Authors: CADTH  
Published: November 2022

CADTH recommends that Jardiance should be reimbursed for the treatment of chronic heart failure as an adjunct to standard-of-care therapy if certain conditions are met.
Jardiance should only be covered to treat patients 18 years and older whose heart is unable to pump enough blood to keep up with the body’s needs (heart failure) because the heart is either too weak (heart failure with reduced ejection fraction [HFrEF]) or too stiff (heart failure with preserved ejection fraction [HFpEF]). The patient should either have a slight limitation in physical activity (New York Heart Association [NYHA] functional classification class II) or a marked limitation in physical activity (NYHA class III).
Jardiance should only be reimbursed if the price is less costly than dapagliflozin for the treatment of chronic heart failure. Jardiance should be prescribed as an added therapy to standard therapy for chronic heart failure.
