Published: July 2022

: Annually about 2 million people suffer from various modes of burn injuries worldwide of whom more than a lakh die. In India about 60,000 people suffer from burns annually, more than 50,000 are treated in hospitals and about 10,000 succumb to thermal injury. : The primary importance of present study is to have a better understanding of changes occurring in this vital organ in relation to survival period of burn victims, to emphasis that hepatic dysfunction is also an important determinant to survival of burn victims. : Forensic Medicine and Toxicology Department of a tertiary care hospital. A descriptive study was performed on 37 burn deceased of both the sexes of different age groups brought into the mortuary of the Department of Forensic Medicine during the period of July 2009 to December 2010. Liver specimens were collected and the H& E stained slides studied separately by two independent observers. Fatty infiltrations in the liver were present at various stages i.e. microvesicular steatosis to macrovesicular steatosis, followed by fatty cyst in victims with survival periods ranging from 2 days to 30 days. Thus as the survival period increased, the proportion of involvement of the hepatic lobule increased with focal / confluent centrilobular hepatocyte necrosis in 54.5% victims of 8-15 days survival and ultimately ended into massive hepatocyte necrosis leading to complete loss of lobular architecture in victims who survived for 16- 30 days. : The present study indicates that liver damage in the form of hepatic steatosis leading to hepatocyte necrosis and latter complete loss of liver architecture and consecutively hepatic dysfunction occurs with increasing survival period of burn victims therefore, maintenance of Liver integrity and function are crucial for post burn survival.

Published: July 2022

Right-sided infective endocarditis (IE) involves the infection of the endocardial surface of either the tricuspid or pulmonary valve. The tricuspid valve is involved in almost 90% of cases. Isolated right-sided infective endocarditis can present with multiple complications; the most common of which include valvular insufficiency, abscess formation, and septic pulmonary embolism. Other complications include pulmonary infarcts, pleural effusion, empyema, and pneumothorax. Mycotic pulmonary artery aneurysm is a rare complication of right-sided infective endocarditis. Staphylococcus and Streptococcus species are the most common culprits for mycotic pulmonary artery aneurysms. IV drug use and bacterial endocarditis are the two major known risk factors for mycotic aneurysm. Computerized tomography angiography is the mainstay of imaging modalities to diagnose mycotic pulmonary artery aneurysms. MRI angiography can also be used to diagnose mycotic pulmonary aneurysms, but this imaging modality is not available widely. The mycotic pulmonary aneurysm is treated both surgically and conservatively depending on the symptoms and clinical status of the patient. The surgical approach includes emergent arterial embolization, lobectomy, resection, banding, and aneurysmectomy.
The Dark Tetrad, Intimate Partner Violence and the Mediating Role of Moral Disengagement
Authors: Carter Laura Jayne , Egan Vincent 
Published: July 2022

PurposeResearch suggests that physical, psychological, and/or sexual focussed Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is related to the dark triad (DT) traits of Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and narcissism. This study extends these findings by considering the addition of everyday sadism into the four-dimension dark tetrad (DTET), testing the possibility that moral disengagement (MD) mediates the relationship between these variables. It was also examined whether the DTET provided incremental validity to the more general personality traits Honesty-Humility, Emotionality, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Openness (HEXACO) to predict IPV.MethodMales and females (N = 416) from the general population completed five questionnaires in an online survey (HEXACO-60, MMEA, PMDS, CTS2S, SD4).ResultsA principal component factor-analysis found that sexual IPV did not load as an individual factor and distinct form of violence on the CTS2S scale so was excluded from this study. Four hierarchical multiple regressions were conducted, using the demographics, HEXACO and either the DTET traits or an overall DTET variable as predictor variables, and either physical or psychological IPV as the dependent variables. Only psychopathy predicted physical and psychological IPV; MD mediated the relationship between psychopathy and psychological IPV. Although the DTET added incremental validity over HEXACO to predict physical IPV, HEXACO low Agreeableness was the strongest predictor of psychological IPV.ConclusionsThose higher in psychopathy may show different offending trajectories for physical and psychological IPV dependent upon the use of MD processes. Despite the DTET adding incremental validity over the HEXACO dimensions, some HEXACO elements better explain the relationship between personality and psychological IPV than the DTET.

Published: July 2022

The medicinal plants (Astragalus species) have been used traditionally as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and Anti-diabetics. The current research investigates the phytochemistry and some biological activity of methanol extract of different parts of Astragalus bruguieri Bioss., a wild medicinal plant grows on Safeen mountain, Erbil, Iraq. The methanol extracts of A. bruguieri were analyzed for total phenolic, flavonoid, and saponin contents. In-vitro antioxidant activity was analyzed by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) assays. Furthermore, the plant extracts were examined for in-vitro enzyme inhibitory activity and in-vivo sub-acute toxicity. The results have shown the highest total phenolic (28.83, 20.62 mg GAEs/g extracts) contents, in the leave and root extracts, respectively. While the highest total Flavonoid (50.08, 44.01 mg REs/g) contents, were found in the extracts of aerial parts and leaves, respectively. The total saponin was higher (25.33, 23.18 mg GAEs/g extracts) in the roots and aerial parts, respectively. In-vitro antioxidant measurement by (DPPH) assay showed leaves as superior part in this activity (42.19mg TEs/g extract), while antioxidant evaluation by (ABTS) assay indicated roots as the most active part (86.90mg TEs/g extract). The α-glucosidase and α-amylase inhibitory activity were found as 0.45-0.67, and 1.2-1.8 mmol ACAEs/g, respectively. The oral acute toxicity test indicated the safety of 600mg/kg dosage of different parts of A. bruguieri on albino rats without behavioral abnormality or mortality. The current study is considered as the first report on the A. bruguieri as a possible new source of biocompatible material for many industrial products.

Published: July 2022

Abstract
Objective To study the effect on QTc intervals in patients who are undergoing surgery and receive palonosetron combined with low-dose droperidol.Methods Our study included 60 patients who were undergoing laparoscopic surgery under hysteroscope. The patients were randomly assigned to two groups: those who received an i.v. injection of droperidol 1 mg (F group, n=30) and those who received palonosetron 0.075 mg and droperidol 1 mg (P+F group, n=30) at 5 min after tracheal intubation. Mean arterial pressure, heart rate, bispectral index (BIS) and QTc intervals were measured before (T0) and 5 (T1), 10 (T2), and 20 min (T3) after administration of droperidol or palonosetron plus droperidol. QTc intervals were measured and calculated according to the correction formulas. The severity of postoperative nausea and vomiting and the incidence of other adverse effects in patients at 24 h after surgery were recorded.Results At T1, the QTc intervals of F group and P+F group were significantly prolonged from the T0 values (P < 0.05); at T0~T3, there was no statistically significant difference in the comparison of the changes of heart rate, mean arterial pressure, BIS, and QTc intervals between the two groups (P > 0.05); the severity of nausea and vomiting at 24h postoperatively in the P+F group was lower than that in the F group (P < 0.05); there was no significant difference in the incidence of other postoperative adverse reactions between the two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion There was no significant difference in the QTc intervals during the perioperative period, whether 1 mg of droperidol or 1 mg of droperidol plus 0.075 mg of palonosetron is administered. And the severity of postoperative nausea and vomiting in patients who received palonosetron combined with low-dose droperidol was lower than those who received droperidol.Trial Registration Chinese clinical trial registry, ChiCTR2000029678, 09/02/2020

Abstract
Background
Plant oils possess biological activities which offer tremendous potential for disease vector management. This study investigated the bioactivity of selected insecticidal plant oils against Anopheles gambiae s.s. Kisumu Susceptible Strain (KSS) mosquitoes. The plant oils from leaves of Hyptis suaveolens, Ocimum gratissimum, Nicotiana tabacum, Ageratum conyzoides and fruit peels of Citrus sinensis were extracted and the major chemical components analysed using coupled gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The spatial toxicity effects of the plant oils were tested at different concentration (0.1 mg/ml, 0.3 mg/ml and 0.5 mg/ml) against An. gambiae s.s. KSS in a Peet-Grady Chamber. Deltamethrin was used as the positive control.
Results
D-Limonene was the major chemical component found in Ci. sinensis and Ni. tabacum. Prococene I was the major chemical component in Oc. gratissimum while P-Xylene had the highest percent composition in Ni. tabacum. The control (Deltamethrin) and 0.3 mg/ml concentration of oil from Oc. gratissimum elicited a 100% knockdown on An. gambiae s.s. KSS. At 0.5 mg/ml, oils from Ci. sinensis, Oc. gratissimum and Ni. tabacum elicited significantly (P > 0.05) the same knockdown effect (100%) as the control on An. gambiae s.s. KSS. After 24hrs post-exposure, all the plant oils evaluated elicited 100% mortality on An. gambiae s.s. KSS at both 0.3 and 0.5 mg/ml. The lowest knockdown times KdT50 (34.80 minutes) and KdT95 (92.50 mins) were noted at the lowest concentration (0.1 mg/ml) of oils from Ni. tabacum which was better compared to the control (36.1 and114.9 mins respectively) against An. gambiae s.s. KSS.
Conclusions
Oc. gratissimum and Ni. tabacum displayed excellent spatial toxicity capabilities against An. gambiae s.s. KSS and can be incorporated into the management of malaria vectors in Nigeria.

Published: July 2022

Abstract
Early recruitment process dominated by vegetation reproduction for wetland plant is a key life-history stage affecting species distribution. Extreme climatic events, such as extreme temperature and heavy rainfall have been predicted to become more intense and frequent under future climate scenarios. To explore the effect of temperature and flooding depth on tubers sprouting and early growth of Bolboschoenus planiculmis, we conducted two artificial experiments in the incubator and greenhouse, including ten temperature regimes (8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 19, 22, 25, 28 and 31°C), and ten flooding depth treatments (-5, 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 16, 20, 30 and 40 cm). The results showed that the temperature and flooding depth had significant effect on the tuber sprouting and ramet early growth. The estimated base temperature for the sprouting is 6.2°C, the final sprouting percentage increased parabolically with increasing temperature and reached a maximum of 61.09% at 25.4°C. The final sprouting percentage increased first and then decreased with increasing flooding depth, and reached a maximum of 96.04% at 3.92 cm. The ramet height increased first and then decreased with increasing flooding depth, and reached a maximum of 61.29 cm at 8.20 cm. Our study will provide a basis for understanding and predicting the influence of climate change on the distribution of B. planiculmis.

Published: July 2022

Abstract
Black Carbon (BC) aerosols critically impact the climate and hydrological cycle. The impact of anthropogenic emissions and coastal meteorology on BC dynamics, however, remain unclear over tropical India, a globally identified hotspot. In this regard, we have performed in situ measurements of BC over a megacity (Chennai, 12°59'26.5"N, 80°13'51.8"E) on the eastern coast of India during January­–June 2020, comprising the period of COVID-19 induced strict lockdown. Our measurements revealed an unprecedented reduction in BC concentration by an order of magnitude as reported by other studies for various other pollutants. This was despite having stronger precipitation during pre-lockdown and lesser precipitation washout during the lockdown. Our analyses, taking mesoscale dynamics into account, unravels stronger BC depletion in the continental air than marine air. Additionally, the BC source regime also shifted from a fossil-fuel dominance to a biomass burning dominance as a result of lockdown, indicating relative reduction in fossil fuel combustion. Considering the rarity of such a low concentration of BC in a tropical megacity environment, our observations and findings under near-natural or background levels of BC may be invaluable to validate model simulations dealing with BC dynamics and its climatic impacts in the Anthropocene.
Developing and evaluating a new method and apparatus for examining bumble bee foraging behavior
Authors: Bryan Caleb B. , Prager Sean M. 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
A key question in pollination biology is that of how pollinators identify and choose foraging patches. Several approaches have been employed for this, including field studies and large greenhouse flight chambers. Most methods used to date are limited, though, by reliance on a combination of artificial flowers, large spatial scales, or lack of spatially distinct floral patches. To address this issue, we designed and tested a y-maze flight arena and tested it using the bumblebee Bombus impatiens and canola plants. Our results indicate that the system is not biased by environmental conditions, or by an innate “handedness” of Bombus impatiens. We did find that bees made all the expected patch choices when presented with soil, plants without flowers, or plants with flowers. This new method is important and useful as it allows researchers to ask questions of both plant health and insect behavior and the chamber system is modular allowing for simple changes to the setup to focus on different questions.
Effect of chromium content on anaerobic fermentation of chrome shaving collagen and rice straw juice

Published: July 2022

Abstract
The tanning industry in China produces about 1 million tons of chromium leather scraps annually. In this thesis, the collagen solution obtained by hydrolysis of chromium leather scraps through a combined alkali-enzyme method was mixed with rice stalk hydrolysate for anaerobic fermentation, and the effects of different chromium contents on the gas production characteristics of anaerobic fermentation were investigated. The changes of system pH, VFAs concentration, SCOD concentration, ammonia nitrogen concentration and chromium concentration during anaerobic fermentation were examined. The experimental results showed that the best SCOD removal rate of 54.54% was achieved at a Cr content of 5 mg/L and a C/N ratio of 20:1. With the increase of chromium content the increase of SCOD concentration decreased and the highest degradation rate of SCOD was achieved for chromium content of 5 mg/L. The results of this thesis provide data support and theoretical guidance for the resource utilization of chromium leather shavings.
A Systematic Scoping Review of Digital Health Technologies During COVID-19: A New Normal in Primary Health Care Delivery

Published: July 2022

Abstract
This scoping review compiled information concerning digital health technologies (DHTs) evolvement to support the primary health care (PHC) sector during COVID-19 and lessons for the future PHC. The identified literature has been published during the COVID-19 peak years (2019–2021), retrieved from PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar, as well as hand searched on the internet. Predefined inclusion criteria were used; thematic analysis was applied; and reporting followed the PRISMA for Scoping Reviews.A total of 46 studies were included in the final synthesis: 40 articles; one book; two book chapters; one working paper; and two technical reports. These studies scrutinized various aspects of DHTs, entailing 19 types of DHTs with 20 areas of use that can be compressed into five bigger PHC functions: general PHC service delivery (teleconsultations, e-diagnosis, e-prescription, etc.); behaviour promotion and digital health literacy (e.g., combating vaccine hesitancy); surveillance functions; vaccination and drugs; and enhancing system decision-making for proper follow-up of ongoing PHC interventions during COVID-19.DHTs have the potential to solve some of the problems that plagued us even prior to COVID-19. Therefore, this study uses a forward-looking viewpoint to further stimulate the use of evidence based DHT, making it more inclusive, educative, and satisfying to people's needs, both under normal conditions and during outbreaks. More research with narrowed research questions is required, with a particular emphasis on quality assurance in the use of DHTs; technical aspects (standards for digital health tools, infrastructure, and platforms); and financial perspectives (payment for digital health services and adoption incentives).

Published: July 2022

Abstract
Dermatophytosis is a widely spread contagious zoonotic disease, affecting both man (tinea) and animals (ringworm). This disease is caused by a group of closely related keratinophilic fungi known collectively as the dermatophytes group. Although the wide distribution of dermatophytosis cases throughout the whole world and its adverse clinical effect on human health, economical effect on productive animals, and pet animal welfare, there is no rapid accurate diagnostic tool for such disease. Up to date, dermatophytosis diagnosis is limited to direct, rapid with low sensitivity and specificity several wet mounts techniques, sophisticated with high skilled personnel requirement molecular assays, and gold standard with long time consumption conventional culturing and biochemical testing. All of the previously mentioned existing diagnostic methods are lab confined techniques with no availability of a field, handheld, or bedside tests. The different aspects of difficulties facing dermatophytosis diagnosis lead to mistaken diagnosis and faulty prescription of antifungals with its expected long list of side effects on man and animals. The current conducted study tries to accomplish the difficult equation by achieving an accurate, sensitive, specific, user-friendly, rapid, robust, device less, deliverable to end-users, and economic cost for development and production diagnostic kit. The newly designated and developed kit, based on lateral flow immune-chromatographic assay, showed a very promising competitive diagnostic result.
