Abstract
Purpose
Magnetic anchor technique (MAT) has been applied in laparoscopic cholecystectomy and laparoscopic appendectomy, but has not been reported in laparoscopic partial hepatectomy. In this study, we evaluated the feasibility of the MAT in laparoscopic left lateral segment liver resection.
Methods
A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of eight patients who underwent laparoscopic left lateral segment liver resection assisted by MAT in our department from July 2020 to November 2021. The magnetic anchor device was independently designed and developed by the author of this paper, which consists of the anchor magnet and magnetic grasping apparatus. Surgical time, intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative accidents, operator experience, postoperative incision pain score, postoperative complications, and other indicators were evaluated and analyzed.
Results
All eight patients underwent a MAT-assisted laparoscopic left lateral segment liver resection, including three patients undertaking conventional 5-port and five patients having a transumbilical single-port operation. The mean operation time was 138 ± 34.32 min (range 95–185 min) and the mean intraoperative blood loss was 123 ± 88.60 mL (range 20–300 mL). No adverse events occurred during the operation. The magnetic anchor device showed good workability and maneuverability in both tissue and organ exposure. In particular, the operators did not experience either a “chopstick” or “sword-fight” effect in the single-port laparoscopic operation.
Conclusion
The MAT is safe and feasible for laparoscopic left lateral segment liver resection, especially, exhibits its unique abettance for transumbilical single-port laparoscopic left lateral segment liver resection.

Abstract
The objective of this manuscript was to evaluate the effect of muña essential oil in the coating based on black maca flour and nanoclay to prolong the shelf life of minimally processed melon. Melon cubes were stored for 12 days at 5±1 °C and divided into four treatments: T1 control (without coating), T2, T3, and T4 with 0.1%, 0.2%, and 0.3% muña essential oil, respectively. Weight loss, titratable acidity, pH, soluble solids content, color, firmness, water activity, microbiological evaluations of molds and yeasts, Salmonella spp, and Escherichia coli were analyzed. Treatment 2 showed better results, in less weight loss (8.74%), firmness, and color, in addition to retarding microbial growth and prolonging the shelf life of the melon compared to T1. It concluded that the muña essential oil and maca coating was efficient, it reduced the growth of molds and yeasts and the loss of weight and firmness in fresh-cut melon.

Abstract

Casuarinas is one of the most important tree species ideal for agroforestry due to its nitrogen-fixing ability, desirable stem form, fast growth and light crown characteristics. Identification of suitable tree-crop combinations is important for maximizing the resource use efficiency of the components. In the present study, we assessed the growth performance of Casuarina clones and yield performance of intercrops for agroforestry. The field experiment consists of eight Casuarina hybrid clones planted ain row-column design with a spacing of 3 m × 2 m in three replications. Horse gram and cowpea were intercropped between tree rows during October 2021 and April 2022. Clone CH2 recorded a higher height and girth at breast height (8.41 m and 25 cm, respectively) at the end of experiment. The clones CH2, CH4 and CH5 performed better in quantitative parameters compared to the clones HPF, CJ9 and MTP. The green pod yield and biomass yield of cowpea were found higher in sole crop (8235 kg ha− 1and 5840 kg ha− 1) and it was lower under CH1 (2763 kg ha− 1and 1683 kg ha− 1). It was evident that the yield of intercrops was lower under the clones which performed well with respect to growth parameters. This may be attributed to the shade effect caused by the Casuarina trees on the intercrops.

Abstract
The goal of this study is to characterize EEG channel(s) that can help distinguish between PTSD and Healthy cases. For this purpose, we introduce a dimensionality reduction method that combines clustering and Support Vector Machine (SVM) weights to identify new feature weights for prediction of PTSD. We apply k-means clustering to dataset of each subject to classify the data points into 6 clusters, then utilize linear SVM to extract the weight matrix that shows the importance of channels in constituting the cluster classification of data points within each subject’s dataset. The significant SVM weights of F4, F8, and Pz are smaller in PTSD than in healthy subjects. This new approach can be used as a tool to better understand the interaction of EEG signals and diagnosis.

The objective: to evaluate the possibility of using linezolid, amikacin, levofloxacin and bedaquiline mixed with bone cement for the treatment of patients with tuberculous arthritis taking into account changes in mechanical properties of bone cement, antimycobacterial activity of drugs and characteristics of their release.Subjects and Methods. The antimycobacterial, elution and strength characteristics of bone cement mixed with the drugs known for their anti-tuberculosis activity were studied: linezolid, amikacin, levofloxacin, and bedaquiline. The antimycobacterial effect was evaluated by the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the reference strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37RV sensitive to anti-tuberculosis drugs (TB drugs). To study the kinetics of elution, the methods of high-performance mass spectrometry and spectrophotometry were used. The strength characteristics were determined using LFM-50 electromechanical testing machine.Results. The obtained results demonstrated satisfactory elution and antimycobacterial parameters for linezolid and amikacin, thus they can be mixed with bone cement, and the cement retained its strength characteristics. Levofloxacin showed antimycobacterial activity only within 1 day after the cement sample was immersed in the solution. Bedaquiline showed negative elution and antimycobacterial characteristics in the cement sample.

The objective: to evaluate safety and efficacy of bedaquiline in the treatment of patients with multiple drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB).Subjects and Methods. Clinical data of 523 patients above 18 years old registered for MDR TB treatment as per regimen 4 were retrospectively analyzed. HIV-negative patients were selected and divided into two groups by the use of bedaquiline in the chemotherapy regimen.Results. In MDR TB treatment regimen containing bedaquiline, adverse reactions were observed in 95.7% of cases, the majority of them (65.2%) were of mild or moderate degree of severity. In 30.4% of such cases, bedaquiline was temporarily discontinued (mostly due to hepatotoxic reactions). No cardiotoxicity was observed as a response to bedaquiline, the median corrected QT interval made 413 ms, the maximum value was 438 ms. Adding bedaquiline to the regimen resulted in faster (in the first 3 months of treatment) and more frequent (in 94.7%) sputum conversion by culture (in the regimens with no bedaquiline, it was achieved in 63.8% of cases, p = 0.019). Treatment with regimens containing bedaquiline was effective in 82.61% of patients, while regimens with no bedaquiline were effective in 65.2% of cases, p = 0.085.

Sternoclavicular Joint Reconstruction with Semitendinosus Allograft and Suture Anchors after Recurrent Posterior Dislocation in a Professional North American Football Player
Authors: Han Yung , Cho Elizabeth H. , Martinez Adriana , Martineau Paul A. 
Published: October 2022

Background:
Posterior sternoclavicular joint dislocations are an extremely rare but potentially life-threatening injury that can occur in sports. A variety of surgical procedures have been proposed, but there is no consensus on the treatment of choice. It is also largely unknown if a safe return to high-risk sports is possible.

Case Presentation:
We present a case of a posterior sternoclavicular joint dislocation in a 22-year-old male professional North American football player who had a recurrent irreducible posterior dislocation after initial injury management by closed reduction. The patient’s desire to return to football presented unique challenges to management. His sternoclavicular joint was subsequently reconstructed with semitendinosus allograft in a figure-of-eight augmented with suture anchors. After recovery, he returned to play as a running back in professional football symptom-free.

Conclusion:
Our patient's successful return to playing professional football after the sternoclavicular joint reconstruction suggests that this should be considered an effective treatment option when managing posterior sternoclavicular dislocation in high level contact sports players.

Evaluating the Utility of a Psychoeducational Serious Game (SPARX) in Protecting Inuit Youth From Depression: Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Bohr Yvonne , Litwin Leah , Hankey Jeffrey Ryan , McCague Hugh , Singoorie Chelsea , Lucassen Mathijs F G , Shepherd Matthew , Barnhardt Jenna 
Published: October 2022

Background
Inuit youth in Northern Canada show considerable resilience in the face of extreme adversities. However, they also experience significant mental health needs and some of the highest adolescent suicide rates in the world. Disproportionate rates of truancy, depression, and suicide among Inuit adolescents have captured the attention of all levels of government and the country. Inuit communities have expressed an urgent imperative to create, or adapt, and then evaluate prevention and intervention tools for mental health. These tools should build upon existing strengths, be culturally appropriate for Inuit communities, and be accessible and sustainable in Northern contexts, where mental health resources are often scarce.

Objective
This pilot study assesses the utility, for Inuit youth in Canada, of a psychoeducational e-intervention designed to teach cognitive behavioral therapy strategies and techniques. This serious game, SPARX, had previously demonstrated effectiveness in addressing depression with Māori youth in New Zealand.

Methods
The Nunavut Territorial Department of Health sponsored this study, and a team of Nunavut-based community mental health staff facilitated youth’s participation in an entirely remotely administered pilot trial using a modified randomized control approach with 24 youths aged 13-18 across 11 communities in Nunavut. These youth had been identified by the community facilitators as exhibiting low mood, negative affect, depressive presentations, or significant levels of stress. Entire communities, instead of individual youth, were randomly assigned to an intervention group or a waitlist control group.

Results
Mixed models (multilevel regression) revealed that participating youth felt less hopeless (P=.02) and engaged in less self-blame (P=.03), rumination (P=.04), and catastrophizing (P=.03) following the SPARX intervention. However, participants did not show a decrease in depressive symptoms or an increase in formal resilience indicators.

Conclusions
Preliminary results suggest that SPARX may be a good first step for supporting Inuit youth with skill development to regulate their emotions, challenge maladaptive thoughts, and provide behavioral management techniques such as deep breathing. However, it will be imperative to work with youth and communities to design, develop, and test an Inuit version of the SPARX program, tailored to fit the interests of Inuit youth and Elders in Canada and to increase engagement and effectiveness of the program.

Scientific Publications on Nursing for COVID-19 in Patients With Cancer: Scoping Review
Authors: Lima Vivian Cristina Gama Souza , Soares Raquel de Souza , Santos Willian Alves dos , Alves Paulo , Fuly Patricia dos Santos Claro 
Published: October 2022

Background
The needs of patients with cancer must be met, especially in times of crisis. The advent of the pandemic triggered a series of strategic actions by the nursing team to preserve the health of patients and professionals—hence the importance of studies on nursing care actions provided to patients with cancer during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is known that these patients are susceptible to severe COVID-19. However, no previous review has summarized the findings of scientific studies on nursing for COVID-19 in patients with cancer.

Objective
This study aims to map the topics addressed in scientific studies on nursing for COVID-19 in patients with cancer.

Methods
A scoping review was conducted using the methodology described in the Joanna Briggs Institute Reviewers' Manual 2015. The research question was elaborated using the population, concept, and context framework: What topics have been studied in nursing publications about COVID-19 in adult patients with cancer? The searches were carried out in 8 databases between April and November 2021 without time restrictions.

Results
In total, 973 publications were identified using the search strategies in the databases, and 12 papers were retrieved by consulting the references. A total of 31 (3.2%) publications were included in the final analysis, generating 4 thematic categories on the subject: “restructuring the services: how oncology nursing was adapted during the pandemic,” “experiences of patients and performance of the nursing team during the COVID-19 pandemic,” “protocols and recommendations for dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic,” and “challenges and the role of oncology nurses facing the COVID-19 pandemic.”

Conclusions
Several strategies used by oncology nurses to face the COVID-19 pandemic in the international scenario were identified. Reports about the restructuring of services and the team's reactions to the pandemic predominated. However, there is a lack of reports regarding emotional support strategies for health care professionals. Another gap identified was the scarcity of clinical studies on the activities developed by oncology nurses. Therefore, there is a need for clinical research in the oncology area and emotional coping strategies to support oncology nurses.

Published: October 2022

Suspensions are two phase systems composed of solid materials dispersed in liquid. Detarium microcarpum gum (DMG) was obtained by acetone precipitation of filtrate obtained from maceration of Detarium microcarpum seed powder using distilled water. Ibuprofen was pulverized using a mortar and dispersed in distilled water to form ibuprofen suspension formulation (IS1). Five other ibuprofen suspension formulations were prepared using either DMG or acacia as the suspending agent (IS2-IS6). Benzoic acid was added during the preparation of formulations IS4 and IS6 as preservative. Physicochemical properties like pH, viscosity and the total microbial count for the suspensions were evaluated. Drug-excipient compatibility was studied using FTIR spectroscopy. The pH of the suspensions ranged from 3.7±0.0 -5.3±0.0 on day 0 to 3.9±0.0 - 6.3±0.0 on day 35. Flow rate was from 2.21±0.13 – 33.00±3.70 mls-1 on day 0 to 1.88±0.12 – 20.19±0.16 mls-1 on day 35. The viscosity at 25oC ranged from 2391.3 – 5702.2 mPas on day 0 to 3793.0 – 3828.2 mPas on day 35. It was a shear thinning system. Formulation IS6 was the most stable and IS1 was the least stable. The suspensions contained high level of bacteria on day 0 which increased significantly on day 35, with exception of formulations IS4 and IS6. Ibuprofen suspensions with good physicochemical properties were produced using DMG but the level of microbial contamination observed highlighted the need of having good environmental hygiene and use of preservatives when natural gums are used in formulations.

Various skin problems such as wrinkles, pimples, acne, and dark circles can all be reduced with the use of herbal face packs. Additionally, they are helpful in improving the fairness and smoothness of the skin. The face packs from natural origin do contain some important ingredients such as vitamins, which are beneficial for skin's health. They act on skin by increasing blood circulation within the veins of the face. The objective of this work is to formulate and evaluate a polyherbal face pack for cosmetic purpose containing herbal ingredients such as, hibiscus, sandalwood, multani mitti, orange peel powder, turmeric and neem. All the ingredients were procured from the local market and were dried, powdered, and formulation was prepared and evaluated.
