Authors: D’Costa Rhea , Fucile Sandra , Dickson Brittany , Gallipoli Alessia , Dow Kimberly E 
Published: May 2022

Purpose: To compare nutrition and health outcomes before and after implementing a standardized enteral feeding protocol on nutrition and health outcomes in very low birth weight preterm infants. Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed evaluating preterm infants, born less than 34 weeks gestation and weighing less than 1500 g, before and after the implementation of a standardized enteral feeding protocol. Outcomes included weaning of parenteral nutrition, initiation and advancement of enteral feeds, initiation of human-milk fortifier (HMF), change in weight z-score and neonatal morbidities. Results: Fifty-six infants (30 in pre-group, 26 in post-group) met the inclusion criteria. Infants in the standardized enteral feeding protocol group started enteral feeds earlier (p = 0.039) and received full HMF fortification at lower weights (p = 0.033) than those in the pre-group. Fewer days on continuous positive airway pressure (p = 0.021) and lower rates of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (p = 0.018) were also observed in the post-group. Weaning of parenteral nutrition and weight z-score were not significantly different between groups. There were no differences in other morbidities. Conclusion: Study results suggest that adopting a standardized enteral feeding protocol may promote early initiation of enteral feeds and fortification.

Published: May 2022

The purpose of this study was to evaluate nutrition knowledge and diet quality in collegiate athletes to determine if referral to a sports registered dietitian (RD) is warranted. This cross-sectional study analyzed four sections of the Nutrition for Sport Knowledge Questionnaire and the Rapid Eating Assessment for Patients Questionnaire, both validated in athletic populations. The relationship between nutrition knowledge and diet quality was evaluated. Significance was set at P ≤ 0.05. One hundred and twenty athletes reported a median nutrition score of 52 (45–61), and a dietary quality score of 53 (46–58), with a weak, positive association between both (r = 0.28 (95% CI: 0.11–0.44), P < 0.01). Fifty-four percent were categorized as needing a referral to a sports RD. Diet quality scores differed between dietitian referral group with 49 (43–54) versus 58 (52–62) for the nonreferral group, respectively (P < 0.01, V = 0.71), with no difference in nutrition knowledge observed, P = 0.73. Overall, nutrition knowledge and diet quality in our sample of collegiate athletes was poor. College athletic departments with limited access to sports RD should use these questionnaires to evaluate knowledge and the need of dietitian referral separately.

Published: May 2022

Purpose: The healthcare sector is an important area for sustainable food initiatives, given its inherent mission to heal and its substantial impact on the food system. Foodservice managers can take part in these initiatives by using sustainable menu practices (SMPs). This study aimed to explore managerial perceptions of barriers and facilitators to adopting SMPs in Québec healthcare institutions. Methods: Seventeen foodservice managers were recruited through purposeful sampling to participate in a qualitative semi-structured interview. The Diffusion of Innovations theory was used to assess the main determinants of the diffusion of an innovation (SMPs) through a complex social system (healthcare organization). Results: Participants reported more barriers than facilitators. Lack of support at many levels was recognized as a major hindrance to SMP adoption, as were shortfalls in political directives. Increased collaboration between all food system actors and better communication in healthcare were perceived as needed for increased SMP adoption. Conclusions: This research contributes to an in-depth understanding of managerial experiences in SMP adoption in various regional and healthcare settings. Findings suggest the need for support and strategies that would remove important barriers for foodservice managers and contributed to the development of a guide to support foodservice managers in implementing SMPs.

Objectives: This case report is aimed to describe radiographic features of multiple hypercementosis in an incidental case.
Case Report: A 38-year-old man came to the Dental Hospital of Padjadjaran University with a complaint that he had lost some of his teeth and wanted to make dentures because he found it difficult to chew food. Then the patient was referred for a radiographic examination, the results of a panoramic radiograph found abnormalities in the form of thickening of the cementum at the apex of the remaining teeth. The teeth were in vital condition and there were no clinical signs.
Conclusion: Based on the examination results, it was concluded that the panoramic radiograph showed excessive cementum thickening and root enlargement on the remaining teeth. This case leads to a radiological diagnosis suspect of multiple hypercementosis or cementum hyperplasia.
Genetic and molecular control of the flowering time in soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill)
Authors: Islam Md Rasadul 
Published: April 2022

Photoperiod response to flowering is one of the most vital factors that affect in regional adaptation and yield in soybean. Soybean adaption at high latitude areas (long-day) requires early flowering and low photoperiod sensitive cultivars; adaptation to low latitudes (short-day) areas needs delayed flowering cultivars, which maximize vegetative growth and seed yield. This paper represents a genetic and molecular regulation of flowering time in soybean, which will help broad adaptability across latitudes. It is revealed that one to eleven main genes control the flowering time in soybean. The FT family of flowering integrators plays a central role in controlling the flowering time. The juvenile growth phase (JGP) determines the development rate for flowering; a long JGP results in the lengthening of the vegetative period and increases the soybean production in low latitude areas. This review outlines the JGP-related gene in soybean. We emphasize the interaction between major genes and QTLs for flowering in soybean. Several major genes and quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for flowering interact with one another including the environment to greatly influence flowering time. The molecular ground information of the flowering in Arabidopsis will help to understand the molecular dissection of flowering in soybean. This information could be used for breeding of high‐yielding soybean cultivars in different latitudinal areas.

Authors: Regmi Sudip , Puri Chiranjibi 
Published: April 2022

This research was conducted in Agriculture Development Resource Center, Syangja to determine the effectiveness of substrate for the production of oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus). Completely Randomization Design was used for this research with three replications in which five treatments (substrate) were used i.e.; rice straw, finger-millet straw, saw dust, maize straw and maize cob. Days required for full colonization, first fruiting, harvesting time, total mushroom production, mushroom pileus diameter, and stipe length were observed by taking 5 sample randomly from each treatment. Among the investigated substrate compositions, maize cob required the fewest days (19 days) to complete spawn running, followed by finger-millet straw (21 days), while saw dust required the most days (38 days) to complete spawn running. Finger-millet straw indicated the shortest time (28 days) harvesting, and the maximum yield was found in finger-millet straw (1.05 kg) and highest stipe length (5.3cm) was found in saw dust followed by rice straw (4.8 cm). Among various used substrate finger-millet straw was found to be the best for mushroom production at least in Waling, Syangja.

AimThe purpose of this study is to collect available evidence on the feasibility and efficacy of stereotactic arrhythmia radio ablation (STAR), including both photon radiotherapy (XRT) and particle beam therapy (PBT), in the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF), and to provide cardiologists and radiation oncologists with a practical overview on this topic.MethodsThree hundred and thirty-five articles were identified up to November 2021 according to preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses criteria; preclinical and clinical studies were included without data restrictions or language limitations. Selected works were analyzed for comparing target selection, treatment plan details, and the accelerator employed, addressing workup modalities, acute and long-term side-effects, and efficacy, defined either by the presence of scar or by the absence of AF recurrence.ResultsTwenty-one works published between 2010 and 2021 were included. Seventeen studies concerned XRT, three PBT, and one involved both. Nine studies (1 in silico and 8 in vivo; doses ranging from 15 to 40 Gy) comprised a total of 59 animals, 12 (8 in silico, 4 in vivo; doses ranging from 16 to 50 Gy) focused on humans, with 9 patients undergoing STAR: average follow-up duration was 5 and 6 months, respectively. Data analysis supported efficacy of the treatment in the preclinical setting, whereas in the context of clinical studies the main favorable finding consisted in the detection of electrical scar in 4/4 patients undergoing specific evaluation; the minimum dose for efficacy was 25 Gy in both humans and animals. No acute complication was recorded; severe side-effects related to the long-term were observed only for very high STAR doses in 2 animals. Significant variability was evidenced among studies in the definition of target volume and doses, and in the management of respiratory and cardiac target motion.ConclusionSTAR is an innovative non-invasive procedure already applied for experimental treatment of ventricular arrhythmias. Particular attention must be paid to safety, rather than efficacy of STAR, given the benign nature of AF. Uncertainties persist, mainly regarding the definition of the treatment plan and the role of the target motion. In this setting, more information about the toxicity profile of this new approach is compulsory before applying STAR to AF in clinical practice.

Published: May 2022

BackgroundmRNA-based COVID-19 vaccination is associated with rare but sometimes serious cases of acute peri-/myocarditis. It is still not well known whether a 3rd booster-vaccination is also associated with functional and/or structural changes regarding cardiac status. The aim of this study was to assess the possible occurrence of peri-/myocarditis in healthy volunteers and to analyze subclinical changes in functional and/or structural cardiac parameters following a mRNA-based booster-vaccination.Methods and ResultsHealthy volunteers aged 18–50 years (n = 41; m = 23, f = 18) were enrolled for a CMR-based serial screening before and after 3rd booster-vaccination at a single center in Germany. Each study visit comprised a multi-parametric CMR scan, blood analyses with cardiac markers, markers of inflammation and SARS-CoV-2-IgG antibody titers, resting ECGs and a questionnaire regarding clinical symptoms. CMR examinations were performed before (median 3 days) and after (median 6 days) 3rd booster-vaccination. There was no significant change in cardiac parameters, CRP or D-dimer after vaccination, but a significant rise in the SARS-CoV-2-IgG titer (p &lt; 0.001), with a significantly higher increase in females compared to males (p = 0.044). No changes regarding CMR parameters including global native T1- and T2-mapping values of the myocardium were observed. A single case of a vaccination-associated mild pericardial inflammation was detected by T2-weighted CMR images.ConclusionThere were no functional or structural changes in the myocardium after booster-vaccination in our cohort of 41 healthy subjects. However, subclinical pericarditis was observed in one case and could only be depicted by multiparametric CMR.
Insights Into Pulp Biomineralization in Human Teeth

Published: May 2022

IntroductionMineralized pulp (MP) compromises tooth function and its causation is unknown. The hypothesis of this study is that pulp mineralization is associated with pulpal tissue adaptation, increased mineral densities, and decreased permeabilities of tubular dentin and cementum. Methods will include correlative spatial mapping of physicochemical and biochemical characteristics of pulp, and contextualize these properties within the dentin-pulp complex (DPC) to reveal the inherent vunerabilities of pulp.MethodsSpecimens (N = 25) were scanned using micro X-ray computed tomography (micro-XCT) to visualize MP and measure mineral density (MD). Elemental spatial maps of MP were acquired using synchrotron X-ray fluorescence microprobe (μXRF) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Extracted pulp tissues were sectioned for immunolabelling and the sections were imaged using a light microscope. Microscale morphologies and nanoscale ultrastructures of MP were imaged using scanning electron (SEM) and scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) techniques.ResultsHeterogeneous distribution of MD from 200 to 2,200 mg/cc, and an average MD of 892 (±407) mg/cc were observed. Highly mineralized pulp with increased number of occluded tubules, reduced pore diameter in cementum, and decreased connectivity in lateral channels were observed. H&amp;E, trichrome, and von Kossa staining showed lower cell and collagen densities, and mineralized regions in pulp. The biomolecules osteopontin (OPN), osteocalcin (OCN), osterix (OSX), and bone sialoprotein (BSP) were immunolocalized around PGP 9.5 positive neurovascular bundles in MP. SEM and STEM revealed a wide range of nano/micro particulates in dentin tubules and spherulitic mineral aggregates in the collagen with intrafibrillar mineral surrounding neurovascular bundles. EDX and μXRF showed elevated counts of Ca, P, Mg, and Zn inside pulp and at the dentin-pulp interface (DPI) in the DPC.ConclusionColocalization of physical and chemical, and biomolecular compositions in MP suggest primary and secondary biomineralization pathways in pulp and dentin at a tissue level, and altered fluid dynamics at an organ level. Elevated counts of Zn at the mineralizing front in MP indicated its role in pulp biomineralization. These observations underpin the inherent mechano- and chemo-responsiveness of the neurovascular DPC and help elucidate the clinical subtleties related to pulpitis, dentin-bridge, and pulp stone formation.

The accretionary processes and the continental growth of the Altaids are still controversial. The Beishan orogen is situated in the southernmost Altaids and is an ideal tectonic site to address these issues. In this study, we report the results of new field-based lithological mapping and structural analysis on the Huaniushan complex in the Beishan orogen, which is composed of blocks of serpentinized ultramafic, gabbro, basalt, chert, limestone, and other rocks within a strongly deformed and cleaved matrix of sandstone and schist. Our new zircon U-Pb date reveal that a gabbro block formed at 504 ± 3 Ma. Our geochemical and isotopic data of gabbroic and basaltic blocks show that they are relics of the Mid-Ocean-Ridge (MORB)-type and Ocean-Island-Basalt (OIB)-type oceanic lithosphere, with high values of εNd(t) (+4.3–+14.5) and εHf(t) (+8.07–+17.74). The maximum depositional ages (MDAs) of two sandstone blocks were dated at 309 ± 5 Ma and 502 ± 11 Ma, respectively. U-Pb ages and Hf isotopes of detrital zircons from the matrix sandstones indicate that they were derived only from the Shuangyingshan–Huaniushan arc to the north. Accordingly, the Huaniushan complex was part of the Liuyuan accretionary complex that fringed the Huaniushan arc, and, therefore, formed by the northward subduction of the Liuyuan oceanic plate. Combined with the basalt yields zircon U-Pb age of 1,071 ± 5 Ma, we concluded that the Huaniushan complex has an age of 1,071 Ma to 309 Ma. Furthermore, the oceanic blocks and sedimentary matrix of the Liuyuan accretionary complex have an age of 1,071–270 Ma and 920–234 Ma, respectively, suggesting that the Liuyuan Ocean was still open at ca. 234 Ma. Thus, the studies reveal that the Liuyuan Ocean, a major branch of the Paleo-Asian Ocean, may have experienced a prolonged tectonic history, starting in the late Mesoproterozoic (1,071 Ma) and terminating later than the late Triassic (234 Ma), with a long subduction and development of a series of seamounts and/or plateaus emplaced into the Liuyuan accretionary complex.

Published: May 2022

BackgroundAlong with the rising prevalence of high body-mass index (BMI), there is also increased emphasis on leanness and fitness. Both these trends suggest that many individuals are concerned about weight management and may try to lose weight. Using data from the research project “Fitness clubs - a venue for public health?”, we aimed to describe weight cycling and energy-restricted dieting in men and women at start-up of fitness club membership, and to investigate influencing factors [age, BMI, educational level, self-classified overweight/obesity, compliance with nutritional guidelines, unhealthy weight control strategies and self-perceived health (SPH)].MethodsIn a cross-sectional online survey, 250 men and women from 25 fitness clubs in Oslo, reported anthropometrics, self-classified weight group, weight cycling, weight loss/gain, eating habits/dieting, and background/health information. Enrollment was limited to adult (≥18 years) novice exercisers (exercising &lt;60 min/week at a moderate or vigorous intensity or brisk walking &lt;150 min/week, the past six months) with less than four weeks of membership. Factors associated with weight cycling were examined using simple and multiple logistic regression, separated for men and women.ResultsIn both sexes (mean age: 36.4 ± 11.3, range 18-71 years), a high number reported substantial weight fluctuation (+/-5 kg) the past 12 months (men: 50% and women: 62%, mean difference 12%, 95% CI -0.3 to 23.8, p=0.056) and unhealthy weight control strategies (men: 24.8% and women: 47.2%, mean difference 22.4%, 95% CI 10.5 to 33.4, p&lt;0.001). Weight cyclers had a higher mean BMI compared with non-cyclers (mean difference -1.5, 95% CI -2.6 to - 0.4, p= 0.003). Further, the difference in body weight was 6.7 kg (95% CI 2.2 to 10.8, p=0.004) and 10.8 kg (95% CI 5.8 to 15.8, &lt;0.001) in men and women, respectively. Besides BMI status, self-classified overweight/obesity was the strongest predictor of reporting weight cycling (men: OR 5.54, 95% CI 2.03 to 15.12, p&lt;0.01 and women: OR 7.17, 95% CI 2.48 to 20.68, p&lt;0.001).ConclusionIn novice exercisers, a large proportion reported weight cycling and unhealthy weight control strategies, and both were more prevalent in women than in men. Self-classified overweight was found to be the most important factor influencing weight cycling.
