Antidiabetic Properties of Nymphaea Species (Water Lilies): A Review
Authors: Prodhan A. H. M. Safayet Ullah , Mridu Farzana Sharmin 
Published: April 2022

Abstract:Diabetes mellitus is a highly prevalent metabolic disease specified by increased blood glucose and impaired insulin function. Various antidiabetic drugs are currently being used, but plant sources of antidiabetic agents are of recent scientific interest as they possess multitarget effects and the most negligible side effects. Nymphaea species (water lilies) have long been traditionally taken as food and antidiabetic agents. Growing research evidence suggests that different Nymphaea species exhibit antidiabetic activity. Therefore, we took an endeavor to summarize the available scientific literature on the antidiabetic activity of the genus Nymphaea. We extensively searched in three search engines and selected 27 in vivo, 9 in vitro, and 4 in silico studies regarding antidiabetic properties of 7 Nymphaea species named Nymphaea stellata, Nymphaea pubescens, Nymphaea lotus, Nymphaea alba, Nymphaea nouchali, Nymphaea rubra, and Nymphaea odorata. All these studies coincided with the conclusion that the Nymphaea species have effective antidiabetic properties and safety. Therefore, Nymphaea species are potential candidates for evidence-based complementary and alternative medicine and integrative medicine. The species have been found to show antidiabetic properties by antihyperglycemic, antihyperlipidemic, pancreatic β-cell-regenerating, insulin secretion and sensitivity promoting, glucose uptake and metabolizing protein-expressing, intestinal glucose metabolizing enzyme inhibiting, hepatoprotective, cardiovascular protective, nephroprotective, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activity. A variety of antidiabetic compounds have been identified in the 7 Nymphaea species, which can be responsible for the antidiabetic activity exerted by diverse mechanisms. Future studies should be conducted on other Nymphaea species and different plant parts and diabetic parameters to investigate their antidiabetic activity and responsible phytochemical contents.
EECH/CF: An Energy-efficient Cluster Head Election and Cluster
Formation Algorithms for WSNs
Authors: Hayouni Haythem 
Published: April 2022

Background and Objective:
Wireless sensor networks (WSN) consist of sensor nodes with
a limited battery life and limited communication distance. The minimal energy expended by the sensor
nodes and network can be achieved either by reducing the number of communications or by controlling
the topology. Thus, energy consumption can be optimized by employing several techniques,
such as clustering. Clustering allows the network to be divided into a set of clusters, each of which is
managed by a cluster head. In a hierarchical cluster-based WSN, the cluster head receives the data
from its sensor members, aggregates it and sends the result to the base station, which leads to an extra
overload. So, the selection of appropriate cluster head plays a very important role in conserving the
energy of the sensor nodes and extend the lifetime of the network. This paper introduces an energyefficient
cluster head election and cluster formation algorithm for WSNs, called EECH/CF. To select
cluster heads, our proposal election algorithm uses the initial and residual energy level of the sensor
nodes, and efficiently creates the different clusters using an appropriate mechanism. Performance
evaluation has shown a significant improvement in energy conservation and the network lifetime for
EECH/CF in comparison to some existing clustering algorithms.

Methods:
Our proposal election algorithm uses the initial and residual energy level of the sensor
nodes, and efficiently creates the different clusters using an appropriate mechanism.

Results and Discussion:
Performance evaluation has shown a significant improvement in energy conservation
and the network lifetime for EECH/CF in comparison to some existing clustering algorithms.

Conclusion:
Results show that our clustering algorithms improve the lifetime of the network as we
expected. Indeed, the delay before the death of the first node can be up to seven times longer with
EECH/CF.

Published: April 2022

BackgroundThe use of the internet for research is essential in the practice of evidence-based medicine. The online search habits of medical practitioners in clinical settings, particularly from direct observation, have received little attention.ObjectiveThe goal of the research is to explore online searching for information as an evidence-based practice among medical practitioners.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted to evaluate the clinical teams’ use of evidence-based practice when making clinical decisions for their patients' care. Data were collected through online searches from 2015 to 2018. Participants were medical practitioners and medical students in a Malaysian public teaching hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit who performed online searches to find answers to clinical questions that arose during ward rounds.ResultsIn search sessions conducted by the participants, 311 queries were observed from 2015 to 2018. Most participants (34/47, 72%) were house officers and medical students. Most of the searches were conducted by house officers (51/99, 52%) and medical students (32/99, 32%). Most searches (70/99, 71%) were directed rather than self-initiated, and 90% (89/99) were completed individually rather than collaboratively. Participants entered an average of 4 terms in each query; three-quarters of the queries yielded relevant evidence, with two-thirds yielding more than one relevant source of evidence.ConclusionsOur findings suggest that junior doctors and medical students need more training in evidence-based medicine skills such as clinical question formulation and online search techniques for performing independent online searches effectively. However, because the findings were based on intermittent opportunistic observations in a specific clinical setting, they may not be generalizable.

FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO STUDENTS DIFFICULTIES IN ACADEMIC WRITING CLASS: STUDENTS PERCEPTIONS
Authors: Budjalemba Algrenita Silvina , Listyani Listyani 
Published: April 2022

Writing is one of the most difficult skills in learning English as a Second Language (ESL) or English Foreign Language (EFL). Many language learners encountered difficulties from the writing process. At the tertiary level, students are required to produce academic essays, which are difficult and may frustrate students. The purpose of this study was to analyze factors contributing to students difficulties in an Academic Writing course based on the students perceptions. This study used a qualitative method. The instruments used were open-ended questionnaires and interview protocol. In this study, all the participants answers were coded and analyzed descriptively. The participants were 22 students who were taking Academic Writing class for repeaters in Semester I, 2018/2019 academic year, in an English Language Education Program, in a university in Central Java, Indonesia. Questionnaire data were coded and classified by the researcher. In conducting the interview, data were audio-recorded and transcribed. Those data were analyzed to answer the research questions in this study. Based on the findings, there were two factors that caused students difficulties in writing academically. The two factors were internal and external. Internal factors consisted of self-motivation, self-confidence, lack of knowledge and feeling of under pressure. External factors consisted of the teachers teaching style, classroom atmosphere, materials, and writing aspects. This research hopefully can help teachers and instructors in developing appropriate teaching techniques in Academic Writing and minimize students' difficulties in Academic Writing.
Surgery in a veterinary outpatient community medicine setting has a good outcome for dogs with pyometra
Authors: McCobb Emily , Dowling-Guyer Seana , Pailler Sharon , Intarapanich Nida P. , Rozanski Elizabeth A. 
Published: April 2022

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To compare the outcome of canine pyometra surgeries performed at referral hospitals with those performed at community clinics (outpatient settings), and to evaluate factors that impact outcome.

ANIMALS
133 client-owned dogs with pyometra treated with ovariohysterectomy (OHE) at 2 community clinics or 2 referral hospitals between July 1, 2017, and June 30, 2019.

PROCEDURES
A retrospective electronic medical record search was used to identify eligible cases. Data about patient demographics and clinical characteristics were collected and analyzed for factors that could have impacted outcome.

RESULTS
Eighty-three dogs were treated at referral hospitals; 50 dogs were treated at community clinics. Survival to hospital discharge for all dogs was 97% (129/133) and did not differ between treatment facility type. Dogs treated at both types of facilities were similar in age, body weight, and clinical signs. Median duration between diagnosis and OHE was significantly shorter for dogs treated at referral hospitals (0 day; range, 0 to 0.7 days) versus community clinics (1.0 day; range, 0 to 14.0 days); however, delay was not related to survival to hospital discharge. Duration of hospitalization did not impact survival to hospital discharge nor survival for at least 1 week after surgery.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Results indicated that OHE for pyometra in dogs has a good outcome and that, although prompt surgical treatment remains a goal, in cases where limitations to performing surgery exist, a delay until surgery or discharging patients the same day is still associated with a high degree of success.
The multimarket model of the veterinary industry
Authors: Neill Clinton L. 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
Within this article, a graphical discussion of the veterinary industry is constructed and discussed. This viewpoint centers around the 4 main markets that operate in veterinary medicine: the market for veterinary education, the market for veterinarians, the market for animals, and the market for veterinary services. Moreover, how each market within veterinary medicine is interconnected is the important point of the article. The purpose of the article is to provide a mechanism for discussion on how changes in one market will affect other markets. From this view, I argue that the market for veterinary services is completely dependent on the other 3 markets in terms of defining supply, demand, and market equilibrium. The remainder of the article discusses how to use the multimarket graphical model to aid in discussions around policy changes and provides an example. Some concluding remarks about this view on the interconnectedness of markets within the industry are provided. Again, the intended purpose of this viewpoint is to provide a graphical understanding of the multimarket nature of the industry and a way to discuss any proposed changes to a market based on literature that empirically estimates many aspects of these various markets. I highly encourage any proposed changes to the industry be supported by mathematical/statistical modeling, but the graphical model can aid in a conceptual understanding of those same changes.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, which is about 25% of all cancer incidents and is the second leading cause of death after lung cancer. Breast cancer can also occur in men, with a ratio of 1: 100 when compared to women. Cancer is a disease that causes high mortality in the world. Based on WHO data, in 2015 there were 8.8 million deaths caused by cancer. Various methods have been developed to treat cancer, one of which is by using radiation therapy or radiotherapy. According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), of the 10.9 million people diagnosed with cancer worldwide each year, about 50% need radiotherapy. The use of radiation for cancer therapy has not been widely used and is still limited in Indonesia. The purpose of writing this article is to describe the use of radiotherapy in the treatment of breast cancer through literature searches. The results of the literature search show that radiation technology has existed in Indonesia since 1927. Radiotherapy has become one of the important therapies in cancer treatment in Indonesia. The increasing number and development of radiotherapy facilities are expected to reduce the prevalence of cancer in Indonesia.
